Man, all these numbers seem so high to me.

I'll just share this. I've recorded every retirement contribution and date since I started saving for retirement back in the late 90's. From that, I can figure APY at any time by comparing to my balance.

I had some learning experiences early on but never totally lost my shirt. I went through the dotcom crash, the finsys crash, and the more recent stuff. And I've been following Bogle philosophy for a very long time, of an allocation model with a percentage in US stocks, intl stocks, bonds, and cash.

I would love to have 3.5% real over that time period.

Now, it's possible I'm the world's lousiest investor, but I don't think so. Because I did a similar exercise pretending "what if I had just bought S&P500 on those dates?" and looked at dividend-adjusted-close. And the results there were also nowhere near as high as you'd expect.

People just can't equate "stock market performance" with what their own performance will be. You might get laid off when economy is bad and markets are down. You might have more money to invest at the top of the market, and less at the bottom, which totally screws up dollar-cost-averaging. You won't be entirely in the stock market, keeping some in bonds in cash. Your "well, I'm getting old so I should keep less in the market" decision might align with the beginning of one of the most irrational bull markets in history. (All of the above have been true for me.)

I think the only real answers are just to save like crazy, keep expenses low, and push for a better social safety net. My own retirement projections assume Social Security will only pay out at 74%, and I'm feeling the need to have a big buffer due to economic/political uncertainty, which really sucks.
Proximity, yes. But unlike before if you do decide to let everyone do everything now you’ll still end up biasing toward a set of dwarves that consistently gain proficiency instead of a freewheeling rotation of everyone doing everything and nobody getting good at anything.

It is a new paradigm to play through, and the immediate reaction a lot of old time players had was negative on this, but the idea was that instead of having to micromanage every labor for every dwarf, you can just let most things be open to anyone and it won’t be super wasteful.

There are a number of changes like that which are geared toward making something less tedious, even if some people don’t like the the change on principle.

I do think there is a lot of work to be done on the new DF but they’re out the gate running. Really need to implement a system to stop dwarfs from trapping themselves, which admittedly was never part of the base game but DFhack did a lot of QOL stuff that they should really incorporate into this new version.
"The company" is nothing, except what leadership makes it. As a manager, that includes you. If everybody chooses not to care about org problems? Guess what, that's a manifestation of sociopathic behavior.

So, act accordingly.
Show HN: List of Stripe Alternatives
Seems like every time there's a negative Stripe story on here, the inevitable question, "any alternatives?" gets asked. Hell, I was tempted to ask myself. Instead, I decided to search hn.algolia.com to see for myself what others have recommended in the past.

Might as well share the list with y'all, make it meta.

Observations from my data collection:

Sassy appears to have been acquired by FastSpring. Balanced Payments apparently went under but I found another payment service called "Balance" instead. Paymill is defunct but their Github org has a bunch of code. No idea what happened to Spryng Payments but Spryng still exists.

It's also worth mentioning that a true "Stripe alternative" simply does not exist. No one does everything they do and I'm pretty sure most services are lacking in the developer documentation department. Still, having options is always great.
People are of two minds: on the one hand they complain of "middle class flight" decimating the tax base. on the other hand they complain when the middle class "gentrify" a neighborhood.

The Mission is probably a decent example. It used to be more or less like Noe Valley many decades back. Then people moved out and was settled by people looking for affordability --then decades later, as housing in Noe Valley etc., was exhausted the Mission was "gentrified" in a slow cycle and people again complain.
I've never done this but I imagine you could use something like

The main reason was I had 2 filing cabinet drawers filled with paper and wanted something that could be relatively hands off. I was able to do double sided paper and load multiple pages at a time (24 pages before it didn't work well) so it was easy to burn through the them. I've tried a scanner app before for one off things and have had okay success with them. I guess now the backlog is burned down I can compare the two for things that are just a couple of pages.

Well - last time the pattern looked like this (the years around ~1917) it eventually led to WWII. So will we see a WWIII in the next 5-20 years?
Are you sure? Feels like totally less oil than deep fried to me, even tossed in oil, it isn’t sitting in that oil… put too much and that all drips off into the bottom of the pan the basket sits over. I agree to makes fantastic chips (UK), even with oven chips without adding further oil, much better than those oven chips when cooked in an oven.
> I dislike the inability to host the bulbs locally

Only a few years ago, one could program MagicLight bulbs pretty easily. It seems their newer versions use a different protocol that hasn't been reverse-engineered, so you're stuck using their crappy phone app. I would probably consider spending a reasonable amount on bulbs if I could self-host -- mostly because I want arbitrary control/fine-tuning of them.
Significantly more than $200, but we had motorized external screens & shutters put on the bedroom windows. I flashed Tasmota onto some cheap Sonoff modules to control the motors and integrated via MQTT into Homebridge so we can easily set schedules or ask Siri to put the shades up or down.

We're sleeping so much better with the room mostly blacked out (we also have rear neighbors with bright lights, and cats that roam the neighborhood and set off everyone's motion sensors all night).

Having an exterior covering on the southwest-facing windows has also massively reduced the need for cooling in the summer — our original reason for having the install done.

Our bedroom has ~99% light reduction with the external screens, and our toddler's room upstairs has completely opaque roller shutters and gets DARK, which has made for very easy nap times and great overnight sleep. When we ask Siri to wake the kid up, a scene is executed that rolls up the shutters, turns on the overhead light, and plays a happy song on the HomePod. Always puts him a great mood.

British Museum Confirms Secret Greece Talks over Return of the Parthenon Marbles
If Google is offering an initial total cash equivalents of $300k (say $140k salary, $480k/4 stock, 15% annual bonus on each), that's roughly the same deal as somebody else getting a base salary of $300k. The fact that a particular investment decision (GOOG) can accidentally push the individual's yearly increase in net worth past $1M isn't a good way to judge what Google is actually offering:

Anyone with a base salary of $300k can obtain a similar payoff structure by taking out a $550k loan to invest in GOOG, and taking out additional smaller loans at each stock refresh. The tax benefits from capital gains/losses and time-value-of-money benefits from getting your bonus sooner should handily outweigh the cost of servicing the loan, but even in a worst-case scenario where you pay interest for no benefit, that example Google offer would be a lot more comparable to a $315k-$330k salary, not a $1M+ salary.

I visited a very high-tech greenhouse a couple of years ago here in Australia and one of their solutions was very low-tech: in summer, to manage the heat somewhat, they sprayed the glass roof/walls with a chalky mixture which impeded heat coming through slightly.

I think it's important to differentiate something that is personally icky to you and something that is 'bad for humanity at large' unless you can demonstrate how it's bad for humanity at large and demonstrate why that makes it morally objectionable.

Morally objectionable acts require (IMO) a victim.

I think it's essential that before we decide that we are going to limit what people can do we determine if what they're doing is actually hurting someone to the extent that society should limit that behavior or if we're just limiting their behavior because it's different from ours and we don't like it.

In my personal moral worldview, if a person can simulate a universe with no actual people in it in which they commit whatever debauchery they feel necessary without causing harm to anyone else, I say have fun. It has literally no measurable impact on me, so it would be immoral for me to insert my personal preferences into the matter.
You abandon it. Detroit did this for example.

Also easy expansion is more a function of interest rates than anything. Municipal bonds buy everything and there’s been very little interest on them. This means fewer taxes to buy things. And new bonds can be sold down the road as the town increases tax base and interest rates fall.
As far as I can tell, the Manhattan case tells us that we aren't even close to the "building more will cause prices to fall" point anywhere in the US. And because of that, building more where it's cheaper is a better strategy for controlling costs than building more where it's already expensive.

Manhattan was brought up to mock the idea that construction could make prices worse for existing residents, I don't think it shows that at all.

Is it any wonder that "you're dumb, building more will lower prices" hasn't been a persuasive argument to people who've seen construction push up prices around them for decades without the promised lowering of prices yet? That's just asking for a leap of faith that this time will be different, we'll hit the magic tipping point, without any actual evidence for that.

Cities like Milwaukee have very low homelessness. Is it because the people there are just less mentally ill? Less prone to drug addiction? Of course not. (In fact in a state with cold, dark winters and where there is a bar on every corner, you’d expect the opposite.)

No, it’s because of the low cost of housing and because of their Housing First initiative.

Housing First works and it’s only because of a lack of political will that it’s not being used in more places.

Same with me. I even go ahead and save articles as PDF and come back to about 1% of these PDFs when I read later. The other 99% are never touched.

Pretty sure this is related to ADHD. Its as if collecting information creates the big picture view the mind finds it hard to develop reading just one source.

I actually plan to take a week off and do nothing but quick read PDFs related to each relevant topic every year. That's my resolution for 2023.
It offers no real protection against anyone who cares.

And it obstructs people who are going out of their way to improve their usage of your site. It's a pity we only see the risk in that, that the miserly antagonistic corporate dominion attitude rules, that is afraid, that quakes at users doing things not on the l blessed path.

This attitude you've very well spoken for bespeaks a great rot & sadness in the world, one that developers should actively try to work against as much as they can.

Yes. This is usually a fully automated, computer-generated correspondence known as a CP2000 letter or "Automated Under Reporter" (AUR). I think the article is deliberately being vague about what they call a "correspondence audit" so that people mistakenly think it includes AUR letters.

> "a right/privilege/protection given to everyone automatically, even if they don't know about it or claim it

That's not what copyright was, when it entered the legal landscape; and it still isn't in so many countries. And even where your definition is somewhat accepted, people disagree on what exactly it means (How long should it last? Can it be inherited? Does it apply to this or that? Etc etc). Even simply the fact that it can literally be bought and sold would indicate that it is not a human right at all - those are typically unalienable. It is a commercial right at best.
This is exactly right. An "air fryer" is nothing but a small convection oven. Most people already own ovens that can do convection cooking. So this very cleverly creates a new category of appliances.
No, because drag scales with v^2. Going 10% faster requires 21% more power (and thus fuel), but only reduces trip time by 9%.

The purpose for keeping the OGL with pf2e was:

1. simplify things for 3rd party publishers. rather than worry about multiple licenses, just publish under the same one as pathfinder 1e, 3.5e, and 5e, that they already know like the back of their hand

2. save costs. writing a new license is expensive. it apparently would have delayed release of the pf2e system and significantly increased the cost

3. cover their ass just in case WotC thinks pf2e is still too similar to d&d

there’s really no way they could have foreseen a rugpull like this. everyone thought the OGL was ironclad until yesterday. hindsight is 20/20 though.
Strongly disagree. Maybe it's not "frying" in the sense of a big bucket of boiling oil, but there is a huge array of cooking that is vastly faster with my air fryer.

Roasting veggies, roasted potatoes, frozen foods like fries, things like that. I can be done with a batch of fries before my oven has even gotten to temperature. Massive time savings.

I work at one of these big companies, and at least how we do it is to see what kind of candidates we get, then compare seniority vs potential vs abilities, and decide which person is the best overall fit. This might be a junior person who gets $120k/year or a senior person that will get $400k/year. It depends on who applies, and how they would fit in with the team. 90-900k is quite a gap, but 150k-900k would be kind of reasonable to be honest.

We've been working on a software that allows remote teams to work together as if they're in the same room, but from anywhere.
www.work-closer.com

Value prop:
Communicate like you're in the same room.

or in short: Be together, anywhere.

The core ideas that when you have presence and context about what your team does, it's easier to have a quick conversation and collaborate. Same as when you sit in the same room with your co-founders or colleagues. Things just move faster than pure async and meetings.

Despite our initial users loving it and using it constantly, we have a hard time getting new teams onboarded.
There is a fear of being on video (we're working on this), but my feeling was always that it's not much different from being in the office.

3) concerns just looking at it.

When I was in high school we 'barely' had search engines. I graduated in 98, I'm not even sure google was around then. I've never seen them try to get rid of google which has just as much ability to inhibit critical thinking skills. I mean imagine having to learn and remember code constructs instead of being able to search online. Imagine if all your docs were books, and that's it. Sure you'd need to retain more, but would you be more performant because of it? We're moving to a society where ai-augmentation will be the norm, not the exception and we need to start training on that premise so that we can perform to our best when we have more info at our fingertips.
First thing that'd come to mind for me would be replacing the unstriped Vec<Mutex<T>> with some wrapper like:

struct Striped<T, const StripeSize: usize>(Vec<Mutex<[T; StripeSize]>>, Mutex<tinyvec::ArrayVec<[T; StripeSize]>>);

I think I'd probably want a wrapper either way to ensure I'm always taking locks in a particular order to avoid deadlocks, anyway.
