I obviously can see your logic but I still think it's your best bet. I also think it's important to point out there's an order of importance. If you have low or no income you're first priority needs to be getting a higher paying job and or up skilling to enable you to get a higher paying job. From there assuming you got a decent job most of us will have a 401k option. You get a tax deduction, tax free growth and most importantly most of us get matching employer contributions of some form. If you put in enough to get the full match over the course of you're career you're going to end up ahead. If you have an HSA sames goes there. If you have a low enough income to qualify for the deduction on an IRA same goes there. Oh yea did I mention 529 for your kids future? Combining investing w/ special accounts that can grow tax free and offer tax deductions are going to maximize you're chances of overall success but again I agree all this is kind of riding on you being in a decent paying field and if you're not already that should be your first priority.
However the natives where still wiped out by European diseases nonetheless, a direct result of Europeans coming here, I'm sure the Europeans of the time were grateful for that even if it wasn't a result of direct action on their part, they would have been fine with it happening.
I think the point is that we can distinguish ordinary civility from nicespeak. The latter is insincere, existing primarily as a means to reinforce a (usually corporate) power structure.
Dwarf Fortress is an almost two decade project of interactive storytelling in the form of a video game. They've modeled the world down to an incredible level including personal relationships between people, races, and nations, skill growth, a mostly correct geologic model, the depth of this game is immense. The lives of each person alive in the simulated world are recorded and details are explorable etc. They model the languages spoken by the various races, basically an incredibly creative group of people just recursively modeled the world for something like 15 years adding depth where they wanted and the result is Dwarf Fortress.
DF's codebase is honestly the closed-source code I'm most interested in seeing.

My expectation is it's just an absolute mess, but I'm so curious.

13of40 was talking about a single button that mass downvotes multiple comments. None of the default (nor popular) clients support this functionality, but you could script your own version using the reddit API.
This is getting it backwards. "When a bank or other institution holding money on your behalf fails, your money is gone" is and always has been the default expectation throughout history. Deposit insurance specifically overrides that, but since it doesn't exist for crypto institutions, you are back to the default position. This really shouldn't be coming as a surprise.
Yeah, I'm familiar with that. Amazon backed down from the fight. So there was no answer to the legal question.

EDIT: Also, since I can't get through the WSJ paywall, here is Amazon's complete statement from the time:

Quote:

Here is the full text of Amazon’s statement:

Kindle 2’s experimental text-to-speech feature is legal: no copy is made, no derivative work is created, and no performance is being given. Furthermore, we ourselves are a major participant in the professionally narrated audiobooks business through our subsidiaries Audible and Brilliance. We believe text-to-speech will introduce new customers to the convenience of listening to books and thereby grow the professionally narrated audiobooks business.

Nevertheless, we strongly believe many rights holders will be more comfortable with the text-to-speech feature if they are in the driver’s seat.

Therefore, we are modifying our systems so that rights holders can decide on a title by title basis whether they want text-to-speech enabled or disabled for any particular title. We have already begun to work on the technical changes required to give authors and publishers that choice. With this new level of control, publishers and authors will be able to decide for themselves whether it is in their commercial interests to leave text-to-speech enabled. We believe many will decide that it is.

Customers tell us that with Kindle, they read more, and buy more books. We are passionate about bringing the benefits of modern technology to long-form reading.
> I would have expected someone to create a retirement insurance pool type thing that returns something close to the long term average s&p returns

This sounds like you're describing a defined benefit pension plan, or an government old age pension plan like Social Security (in the US) / Canada Pension Plan (in, well, Canada).

As usual, higher risk begets higher reward. If you don't want to face the prospects of volatile returns, you'll likely need to accept a lower long-term average return in exchange for the predictability.
Depends, dollar cost averaging shifts things around. For a typical 401k style investor having down years mid career improves returns at retirement, but then increases risks in retirement.
> Separately, to express code which creates multiple non-const references into a single object (trivial in any other imperative or OOP language),

So multiple mutable references to the same data? I'm personally happy that's harder to do in Rust, as it enables anti-patterns like God Objects [1] and spooky action at a distance [2].

I don't like the "you're doing it wrong" response when people point out flaws, and that's not what I'm trying to say here. You can write perfectly fine code with remote mutation. This is just one example where the things that Rust chooses to make harder are also the things I have a harder time understanding.

I'll also agree that remote mutation is still necessary for some important use cases (e.g. testing, memoization). Then you have the `Cell` / `RefCell` escape hatches. Rust is pragmatic about such things.

> you need compromises like verbose Cell, overhead RefCell, ugly and footgun-filled UnsafeCell ...

The actual need for these constructs tends to be rare in my experience.

We have tens of thousands of lines of Rust in our codebase and ~five instances of these wrappers. They're really not hard to avoid. And actually, looking through the results here, I've found a few cases we actually _shouldn't_ be using `RefCell`.

> unsafe confusing (and currently unsound ...) Pin

This is a fair point. `Pin` always felt to me like a compromise to get async out the door. The best thing I can say is it's proof that the Rust team is willing to not let the perfect stand in the way of the useful.

But I'll concede it still is difficult to understand and complicates the async picture. This is definitely an example where Rust's underlying philosophy makes things that should be easy harder.

Bread machine.

Making bread with a mixer is fun but takes a lot of time. With the bread machine there really is no reason to buy preservative and sugar laden bread from the store.
> This is instead a natural disaster. Not everything has to be reduced to politics.

It's a complicated issue. However, politics (or really, the lack of government involvement) is exacerbating it.

The problem? We are, and have been, in a sustained drought made worse by global warming. So, what should happen? Water conservation efforts across the board that, at a minimum, minimize the draining of things like the snake river aquifer.

Nothing has stopped farms from pulling up more and more groundwater. Nothing has pushed farmers into farming more drought tolerant crops. There is no market force strong enough to enable water conservation. Without intervention, farmers are simply going to draw groundwater until there's none left to draw. At which point, a LARGE number of farms in the region will collapse.

China is also expected to see population collapse. They are rapidly aging and there’s no sign that that is reversing.
> a view would allow you to change a field's type.

Which proves my point: if I change a field type ( in the table ), I will have to change the view type. I need to change 2 services because one of them changed an implementation detail.
That's the tough part, and the technological infeasibility is probably why the DMCA has no such provision. Even for Video, only YouTube has come up with a system that is "mostly right" for "most content" they have to deal with, that being Content ID, and it takes a lot of horsepower and a lot of money to run (and it requires that every rights holder must upload their content to the service for scanning; quite a feat).
It's kinda an interesting thing with a fairly straight forward causal path. I honestly believe that most things in society have similar levels of complexity but we are only looking at single causal factors instead of these higher order terms. Maybe they contribute less, but they need to be accounted for.
I recently bought one expecting to see something interesting and it mostly just stays stable all day, even with the door closed. Maybe my house has good ventilation.

I fall into this trap as well. My solution to mitigate my tab hoarding has been to set up a blank GitHub repo and use the discussions/issues to just continually post links, descriptions, and notes in a thread format.

Then I can just keep commenting to myself. It seems to help break up topic binges that I go on. Plus I like with GitHub it’s all markdown-based so I can throw images, files and whatever else I need in a session in there to keep it all encompassing.
Our last planet, Neptune, fits neatly within one light-month. The rest of the heliosphere does too, but not the Oort cloud.

Looks like empires are purely solar system affairs. Sci-fi authors take note.
What you are overlooking is the risk aspect. If you are guaranteed a return of say 6 to 7%, you are looking at doubling the money in about 10 to 12 years. That kind of assurance means you can invest much more with specific goals in mind.

This is the reason people take a more balanced approach where they split their investments in say a 70-30 or 90-10 ratio and put a smaller percentage in short term high risk - high return investment.

I unfortunately have been in this multiple times in my career. My experience, everyone just grind it out for a few months of less productivity and eventually we'll ship something. Life goes on. All the suggestions for documentation, bus factor, and everyone owns are all good, but I don't think anyone actually practice that, at least not in my 20 year career.
You got a lot of personal value precisely because of

Exactly, it's not a drought if it's over 3 decades long. It shouldn't be treated as an exception with temporary measures.
I am not a lawyer, but I don't think this necessarily confirms that as a legal decision. This is the case for assets that were in a lending program and had a terms and conditions which gave all rights to Celsius.
I think any reasonable interpretation of the law would see that as a different scenario vs a company providing custody services.

I don't think the author's problem with things like mission statements is primarily that they are mandatory. I think her primary problem with them is that they misrepresent what the organization actually does and how well (or poorly) it actually does it. It is true, though, that a key reason why they have to misrepresent is, so to speak, grade inflation: any organization that doesn't portray itself (however unjustifiably) as perfect at its nominal mission in all public statements loses funding to those that do.
I think the author's chosen name for the phenomenon "Nicespeak" creates a cognitive distortion that muddies what I think her point is. She is not talking about being nice rather than being rude. Rather she is talking about being authentic and human rather than becoming an automaton channeling the will of the powers that are compelling your speech.

Her example of the fast food worker is they're channeling the brand of the franchise "whether or not they made sense in a given context". "The idea was to subordinate the personality of the individual speaker to a centrally designed corporate voice."

Her example of the workers in the public-private partnership of academia describes having to conform to the rules of the corporate information-hiding language game in order to compete with others for funding. "If they do not claim to be 'excellent', they will inevitably come out losers."

In these cases the casualties are authenticity, connection, a frank assessment of and confrontation with reality, and humanity. In lieu of them, we've created a network of symbols and signs overtop of existence that pretends to be true reality, but really distorts it to the benefit of the holders of power. This network of symbols comprises brands, mission statements, corporate personalities, metrics that yield to Goodhart's law, empty buzzwords and hype, etc, etc, etc.

I think that's what she's criticizing.
Yes. Or that it was sabotaged with our blessing.

It was a Keyser Soze move that basically destroyed Russias bargaining position.

At the same time, it was an enormous fuck you to EU citizens and, in particular, Germany: "Oh yes you will buy our gas ..."

It appears to be panning out in a non-destructive way for the EU citizenry as they muddle through this winter but it was not obvious that would be the case and this (relatively) benign outcome could not have been predicted.

If I were an EU citizen (particularly a German) I would be upset. Even as an American I am disturbed ...

EDIT: You know that thing ... that crazy thing that Dick Cheney said in that interview[1] ? About how there is no reality and reality is whatever we say it is:

"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality."

... every day that goes by I become more and more convinced that he could be right. NS2 sabotage makes it hard to argue with him.

>One of the more medium size cartels, Jalisco New Generation, specializes in training assassins against their will. Let that just sink in. They do this by advertising jobs, kidnapping the people who show up to interview, and then torturing them in horrific ways until they get the total compliance of learned helplessness. Then they send them on suicide missions.

This sounds like:

1. Just a rehash of the original Hashashin tale.

2. A spooky story cartel members might tell.

You can only evaluate returns compared to the risk-free return (ie treasuries) - and favor treasuries cause less variance.

Stock market success depends entirely on when in history you got in and got out. When it comes to US dominance over the next century - who knows. I do trust in Fed interventionism and willingness to print money - so that certainly favors stock market investment.

Personally I find stock market is too high a variance and I prefer not speculate with money I can't afford to lose.

Buffet himself said their biggest peak to trough was 50%. Fine if you're already rich and investing a fund. Not so great if it's kiddos college money.

If your oven has an electronic timer, it should have a function to finish at time x, so you could even wake up to done ones. Great, for coming home from work to perfectly slow-cooked ribs, for example.
They do pay extremely well, but are also very selective. The kind of talent they are looking for can earn similar salaries at large tech companies like Google ($400K-500K TC is pretty common at staff+ levels).
This is very true, QuickSync falls over very easily when trying to transcode even a single 4k stream.
My experience is mainly the 90s in the Bay Area, but we always were expected to be training our replacement and we were always being trained up if we wanted to be. I've ran my teams this way and it's seemed to work fine except for the dead wood employees that I probably should have fired that I was handholding/micromanaging to try and help grow. Their responsibilities, when I was suddenly gone, were the most visible things that went to crap for my previously prepared replacement.
I did, and I haven't noticed any issues with resource usage.

Show HN: I spent 2 years building Tablane as a 17-year-old
Hi HN community,

I'm Marcus, a 17-year-old Software Engineer from Germany.

For the past two years I've been working on Tablane [0](https://github.com/Tablane/tablane) a task/project management tool, with features like:

- Collaborative Editing (google docs)

- Optimistic updates with RTK Query

- Realtime sync with Socket.io

- An awesome design

Let me know what you think! Ask me anything!

How I got here:
2020: I was developing a TTT [1] (Trouble in Terrorist Town) plugin for my minecraft server, when I started to require a project management tool to keep track of the features I wanted to implement, originally I used a text file, but after some time I started using products like ClickUp and Monday.

But not long after I hit several paywalls for features that I wanted to use (Custom Status, Limited Number of Boards, ...)
Soon after Tablane (originally task-board) was born. I started building the website using plain HTML, then found out about React and completed Colt Steele's "Web Developer Bootcamp" [2] and "The Modern React Bootcamp" [3] and started re-writing Tablane in React, and started adding feature after feature.

Now I am about to finish Highschool and originally I thought about applying to college and spending another 3-5 years there, but after the positive feedback I got on a three month internship I did at ContentPepper, and seeing how my own projects developed, I decided to look for open Developer positions, to work with a team of experienced developers so I can learn even faster.

0 is real and people discount it a bit too much, 2 is kind of imagined. Every language has its jargon that is alien (for example in C++ RAII, SFINAE, "rule of 5" "move constructor" etc). Rust does borrow some language from other ecosystems but I don't think it's fair to say it's a problem or used to "project a coolness level." Jargon is used to describe specific technical details, it always sucks but it's also necessary. If you don't understand it then circle back to the 0th problem, which is the learning curve.

As for problem 1 (and I say this as a professional rust developer and shill), it's extremely serious and people in the ecosystem do not seem to care enough about solving it. You can steal login credentials and SSH keys by typosquatting today, and all a user needs to do is open an editor. I get why the solutions pitched are not implemented, but it's troubling that major companies are investing into the ecosystem and consuming from it but not securing it.
Recently I've been encountering more and more service workers who are AMAZED at my INCREDIBLE and AWESOME choice from the menu.

Until now I didn't think I had any sort of special ordering skills. I mean, they hand me a menu and I have no choice but to select 2-3 items from said menu. Just like everyone else. But I've come to realise that MY particular choice of those items is somehow better than the common man. I have a skill that was previously untapped and has only now come to light.

SUPER!
You can't even code search in forked repos so maybe forks were excluded (besides commits on top of the fork)?
