Do you think that honestly matters in the 10s of millions of dollars range? I certainly don't. The problematic parachutes in question are beyond enough for an excessively wealthy standard of living for the rest of their natural lives, even if it's proportionally smaller. Whether or not CEO comp should be as high as it currently is is another question entirely.

/r/personalfinance has some solid stuff in their sidebar/wiki.

I'm big into Financial Independence as a concept and community, so I'm partial towards that. Some recommended reading (some which you may like and some you may not):

- /r/financialindependence sidebar/wiki

- https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/ - Bit more radical on the frugality side but a personal favorite

- https://www.madfientist.com/ - Podcast and blog. Bunch of stuff on tax advantaged vehicles

- Your Money Or Your Life - Incredible book (foreward by MMM referenced above)

- YouTube/general searching for investment vehicles. Big ones in the US are: 401k, IRA vs Roth IRA, 403b, 529 (if you have kids). Tax advantaged accounts have huge benefits, so definitely understand them. Only takes a little bit to read about the ones I listed.

- Dave Ramsey - Love him or hate him, if you really struggle with money and debt on a fundamental level, he has good advice. His advice isn't optimal for everyone if you don't have issues with debt, but something to consider.

- Depends on how you want to invest. A lot of people (myself included) are pretty straight forward with index funds and diversify in different types, such as US vs international or maybe a variety of focus on industry. Do you research and figure out what's best for you, but index fund investing is pretty safe and easy.

Some personal advice:

- Spend less than you make. Seems obvious but it really is the golden rule of personal finance. Easier to say than do, especially without knowing your financial/life situation.

- Reduce any debt you have. High interest is obviously a big one and some people have varying levels of comfort with low interest debt (like mortgages from the past few years). Find what you're comfortable with, but just get rid of any credit card debt immediately. The chances you beat that interest rate with an investment is basically zero, and the limit as it approaches zero over multiple years.

- Think about the depreciation in your assets. Buying a new car means you eat the bulk of depreciation. There's an optimal point to buy a car where you get the most life for the best dollar after the depreciation is lost.

- If you're in software like a lot of HN, we're very lucky to have careers that pay well in most cases. Take advantage of that. Live on less, invest more, and be generous with others.
That assumes a very linear distribution, and there's no reason to believe that talent is remotely like that.

It's very possible that lots of people have $90k stills and only an extremely tiny handful have $700k skills.

After all that's how it is in the general population: Most people are $10/hour plumbers in terms of skills. Only a few people (we happen to mostly call them plumbers) are worth $200/hour or more.

There is a lot of argument about this. Much of the data points or may point to increased rates of death and disease but does not necessarily pinpoint the chemical reactions involved. This is not uncommon with dietary medicine. Nearly fifty years passed between "Pure, White, and Deadly" being essentially rejected and buried and Dr. Lustig's "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" becoming a runaway hit based on the extremely detailed analysis of the chemistry of sugar digestion.

One red flag is that these oils are not traditionally eaten, but have been recently engineered for production using chemical processes that take advantage of high temperatures and pressures. These are engineered substances that are new to us.

The most common explanation has to do with these oils being relatively easy to transform such that exposure to heat, such as in cooking or within the body, causes them to break down into substances similar to glue or shellac. Cleaners have a range of special soaps and scrubbers targeting this specific problem. Long used natural oils like butter, olive oil, and coconut oil do not break down this way or generate buildup on kitchens that requires special soaps to remove.
You don't have to accept it, you just have to mention it.

OTOH, I'm pretty sure most companies have rules against hiring candidates who offer money to the interviewer (even if the interviewer declines, the candidate is rejected anyway).
Agreed. I believe Apple made a tradeoff here:

- For most consumers, price is a big factor. Let's cut down on costs where we can, and pass them some of the savings.

- For a minority of consumers who are using these base models for IO-heavy workloads, they are on the wrong machine and we can't expect the majority to shell out the extra bucks in order to cater to the expectations of a minority who would be better off paying for a premium model, like a Macbook Pro or a Mac Pro.

Bottom line: You need optimized IO? Get the right tool for the job. Don't get the consumer model. If you pay for the consumer model, expect consumer targeted specs. Most consumers are not IO bottlenecked.
Exactly.

Matt Levine suggested that the chaos after opening was mainly due to market orders executing at ridiculous prices. Like, a limit buy for half the "real price" is the first buy order to get in the door, and that gets matched with a market sell order.

Does that track with your understanding?
Most likely mass printed for targeted mailing with a handwriting style font. I remember getting something similar in the mail written in what appeared to be blue ink from a ballpoint pen. Only to find out my wife got an identical piece of ad mail , just with her name at the top.
This was... utterly predictable? Companies have incredibly strong incentives to maintain this information asymmetry, and it's a fool's endeavor to think we can legislate it away. I suspect the next chapter in this, if we try to further clamp down on this from a regulatory standpoint, is that you'll see more and more creativity in terms of what defines compensation, or perhaps even clever re-engineering of titles.
The second chance pool is great, I just wanted to give people a chance to shamelessly self-nominate their own posts.

I've been in condition for these things in the past, but over a winter of mostly just walking, light cycling and gym climbing my legs and cardio had suffered.

It's explosive training, my muscles hurt afterwards, and I needed 3 days to recover. Over the month of stair sprinting every 3 days I regained about 5 pounds of(what I presume is) leg muscle.

The premise behind it is that the high intensity stress of my short sprint sessions is effective way to prepare myself for the all day but lower intensity stresses of big climbs with big approaches, for my heart as well as my legs.

My calves and achilles tendon took a beating on the trip, one thing I wasn't well prepared for was all the standing on my toes.

I've relied on a period of sprints, either on stairs, flat ground or on a bike, to whip myself into condition a half dozen times over the past couple decades. At 46 I find I don't snap into fitness as quickly as I once did.

And I don't live anywhere near big hills, if I did I would train on them more, but not at the full expense of running sprints.

2x BigCo's I've worked at, with 1-5K IT staff. Yandex is xbig though, with 5K+.

>That came down to the developers not speaking English at all.

That sounds implausible and not very sane, unless of course you're working for something very static like the government, and the tech stack you're using is set in stone.

Imagine that you're using a popular library and decide to update your dependencies, who's going to read the change logs & the documentation? Sr. Architect?

If you have a security issue and the only writeups are in English, who's going to be trusted to implement a fix correctly if the people can't understand what the problem is in the first place?
I'd love for this to be the case, but often the most(/only) important part of a tech doc is the "why," i.e. the background knowledge about the business itself, or the conceptual framework that underlies the code. Even more so for writing requirements. How would AI be able to help with that? Maybe by parsing through all related meeting transcripts as well?

Well, ten or the maximum available, in which case the whole state must be a single district. (States with 11-19 seats would also have to be a single district since they wouldn’t be allowed to create districts smaller than ten. The specific number 10 is of course arbitrary, I didn’t think about it at any length.)

That was unnecessarily dismissive, as I was being quite sincere.

It is a feature, not a bug, that we elect an individual rather than a party. It is likewise a benefit that our distribution of representatives is weighted somewhat by geography and (indirectly) economics rather than purely by population. Should flyover country count less than coastal areas because farming automation has reduced agricultural jobs per acre compared with LA or NYC? Yes, certainly, but to what degree is the question. The industrial and agricultural importance of these areas means that we are better off when we give them larger representation per-capita than they might otherwise expect due to their meagre populations.

The current system is not without faults, such as gerrymandered districts and the various factors that contribute to us having a rigid two-party system. I suspect a lot of people on HN would rather throw it all out and have strict proportional voting and/or equal-population districts. However that would be throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
As much as I have sympathy for the pain (besides the influencer thing) - what exactly do you expect from the government here?

And I say this as European, I mean, we at least have some regulations...

Interesting. I have never seen that attitude here in Sweden. If only Swedes are present we speak Swedish despite all our documentation, code and comments always being written in English. Could be due to all Swedes in tech (while most Swedes have good English it is not universal outside tech) being able to speak good English so there is no reason to show off.

We don't know when the next big one is coming, because we don't have perfect knowledge of all objects in (or travelling through) our solar system.

On the scale of things to be concerned about, I'd agree that Climate Change is definitely something that we should be proportionally spending more resource on.

We have the capability of solving multiple problems at once, though - it's not an all-or-nothing thing. So I think running observation/detection systems is worth it, even with the occasional news release about significant close-approaches.
Yeah, this is exactly the same thing I do. It's just a place I dump stuff I learned and want to remember. And can confirm, it was the deciding factor in at least one job interview. People do care about that kind of stuff.
Beautiful! Now if one can make this generate random handwriting styles, and save these styles for future use I'm set!
If you're living paycheck to paycheck I'd say learn to walk before you run. Keep it simple, open another account and transfer 20% or whatever you feel comfortable from every paycheck. After you save more than a year of living in that you can start to look into more advanced stuff.
If you're sticking to one location (as opposed to traveling, where speed/consistency is valuable), try keeping an eye out for local Mexican joints or counter-service diners/convenience stores/etc. They'll be a little pricier than the national chains, but I've found their quality is usually higher. They are definitely harder to find, but with some effort you can dig them out.

Just to provide a concrete example, there's a convenience store near my woodworking shop that doesn't even have a website, but they do counter-service lunch & dinner and they make a killer burrito. I never would've found it other than randomly searching "lunch" on Google Maps one afternoon and walking over to give it a shot.

> during Wingfield-Hayes’ decade in the country, Japan’s immigration policy changed substantially, and he ought to have noticed

While gov policies are changing, socially Japan is not very open to foreigners. I have friends who were born there, speak the language perfectly, and they're still _gaijin_, or _hafu_ if they're half-Japanese, and will be til the day they die even if they live in Japan their whole lives. This will take a lot longer to change than government policies.

I've putting together ideas for a post about applying Ikagai concepts (https://becomingbetter.org/ikigai/) to side-projects.

1. What you love -> How strong is the itch to create this side-project?

2. What you are good at -> Do you have the skills and resources for this project? Or least the aptitude to gain the skills?

3. What you can get paid for -> Most side-project don't directly benefit one financially. Maybe the question is will this project benefit me via skills acquisition or maintenance that could be helpful with my "real work"?

4. What the world needs -> Side-projects usually are not "needed:, but can be found interesting or entertaining. Definitely would weight "needed" > "interesting" or "entertaining".
No, it's a reason to talk to a native speaker in its own language to get understood well in order to avoid hard mistakes.
That is just one study among many and as such is a poor summary of science in this area. Contrast this with soybean oil being linked to metabolic and neurological damage to mammals: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/01/200117080827.h... The science here is still in contest, but there is significant evidence to argue over.
> You also can't have a human in the next room feeding you lines... even if that person is an attorney.

I believe this varies state by state. In Delaware, litigants representing themselves can bring a cell phone to court, and could presumably use it to have lines fed to them (e.g., I don't know that anyone has done that but I can't find any rule against it). In neighboring Maryland, you can't use electronic devices for communication with persons during in court (although the AI would not be a person so it would be allowed).
We also make bad guesses, for instance seeing faces in the dark.
No, because the NOx released more than negates the forcing by SO2.
I never understood why some languages like Rust are so inconsistent here: snake_case for non-type identifiers, but PascalCase rather than Snake_Pascal_Case for types.

Maybe OP's study is real, but the underscore has always bothered me. I'm fine with it in principle, but it creates visual noise, since pretty much all fonts put the underscore below the baseline.

I have a relatively terrible answer that I would recommend to no one but it works for me. That's the fastest stack for me.

The question wasn't "what is the fastest stack" or "of all stacks which is the fastest for you" but rather akin to "what is the fastest stack for you". Which is often the one that you are productive in.

It's almost always not worth learning a new stack to prototype something unless the goal is to learn the new stack.
Show HN: A GPT-driven tool for analyzing & tracking your resumes & job postings
Jobs-Scout is an AI (OpenAI's GPT) driven job tracking tool that can parse job postings and analyze your resumes against them.

The AI recommends qualifications, accomplishments and keywords that can improve your chances in matching the job posting. As you add job postings to the tool, it allows you to set status, notes and track resumes used and be better organized as well.

I'm keeping it free hoping it will be helpful to some of the new job seekers out there. All I ask for is any feedback that could improve it.

PS. an email is needed to login. For Beta, you can use a fake email, but I may clean-up unverified users later. I promise that email goes nowhere other than for authentication.
For an MVP, I'd choose what I'm most familiar with and can be fastest with. That would mean:

1. Laravel

2. An Ubuntu VPS in either Digital Ocean or Linode

3. A managed database in one of those services, likely Postgres

That would get me to market the quickest. I have no issues with the application being in Laravel/PHP and after getting to market, I'd work on making the infrastructure scalable. I wouldn't expect overnight success, so a single VPS and managed database would let me keep costs low while I pick up a few customers and then work to handle the scalability in the background (likely AWS with a combination of EC2/ECS/Fargate, RDS, SQS, SES, CodeDeploy, ElastiCache, etc.)
Another great thing about them is their transparent supply chain that encourages healthy sourcing. I think the issue with the bad experiences is probably because the workers feel underpaid and hence do a poor job.

I'd use Postgres for the data layer, I'd build the service layer around OpenFAAS (using faasd) and Node/Typescript functions, and for the client I'd probably go with React/Next (though Svelte is starting to look pretty attractive). For basic CRUD functions I would probably use Postgrest.

I'd stand it up on a VPS initially, using ansible scripts to make switching deployment targets to AWS easy.

Their mistake was using this tool in a criminal case. They could have rolled it out for arbitrations and/or mediations, proceedings which do not necessarily require legal counsel.

The legal system has various functions. One of these is determining the facts. Think of it as agreeing on what prompt to give the AI. Once the facts are determined, everything else pretty much follows.

If Fact A then Consequence B. If the parties can agree on the facts, AI will tell them the likely consequences. But as a fact-finding tool, in present form AI is not useful.

Maybe the next iteration.

In between the extinction-level asteroids and the mostly harmless ones is a medium-size class of asteroids about the size of a football pitch. Those are the scary ones. They are small enough to be hard to spot, and there are enough of them that one of them hits earth every 10,000 years or so. They have not been a big deal in the past. They don't cause mass extinctions, but they are more than big enough to bring about the end of civilization. If one of them hits an ocean (which is the most likely scenario) it will cause global tsunamis that will make the Fukushima event look like a small ripple. We're talking waves many hundreds of meters high. Not a single coastal city bordering the ocean where the asteroid hits would survive.
I could explain what I'd choose, but that's irrelevant as it's based on my existing skills

Rich Dad Poor Dad should always be mentioned with the caviet that:
