Me and my girlfriend left Berlin, biggest city of Germany with ~3.8m inhabitants 2 years ago for a small village near the Alps with maybe 300-500 people.

Short version: now we are living in Berlin again ;)

Long version: we loved and enjoyed the proximity to nature, the mountains,the quiet and small world in a village... But in the end that was the problem as well - small villages are often conservative, so we were the ones with the funny cloth, totally different worldviews and we felt most of the time out of place. It was hard to find like minded friends there (though I know, it is very important to be in touch with all kind of views, ideas and ways of live, and I enjoy that as well, but one also needs some friends around whom surf the same wave) and there is simply a lot less to do than in s city - cultural events, night live, events, etc. pp. Is all far away. While you can do a lot of outdoor sports and nature relayed things, a lot of social interaction based events are missing. For us to much... We decided to move back to the city, with all the wonderful bussing and hustling - and got as a camper van, which we know use some month of the year, to fill up out longing for remote and quiet places in nature.

PS: maybe the 1.5 years weren't enough to get integrated into a village social group, so maybe it changes after a longer stay
Huh, did not know that, my bad.

It seems there are some other causes for concern with safrole that have not been disconfirmed in humans though. I'm seeing stuff about possible neurotoxity and immune effects as well.

But yeah I'm sure no one is eager to lighten regulations anyway given the MDMA connection.
Having readily accessible, fully immersive nature of any kind, whilst also living close to a major centre gets you the best of both worlds. Key is "immersive" nature, not just a park where you can still hear, smell or even see the city.

You need to be able to get lost in a forest on a hike, dive into water and see fish, climb a mountain and see snow. These places exist, and they're not always expensive. Ready access to genuine nature improves city life immensely.

> HBO

HBO sounds more like a vocational system that provides diplomas vs a bachelor degree in reference to universities in this discussion.

This type of system definitely exists in many places but I just assume it's out of scope as we're talking about in reference to CS graduates i.e. bachelor courses.
i think currently those 6-figure salaries are looking great for like most of humanity - I don't expect seismic shifts here.

but there is a funny mechanic at play certainly: once some dev work gets cheap as a commodity, demand surges suddenly since at a low enough price point and availability everyone wants to have some need solved that made no financial sense before.
> I think they should be free to figure out among themselves

Why should it be normal or even ok for bankers at competing banks to come together to "save" another bank (more specifically their depositors)? That seems like a recipe for a cartel in any other industry.

> I have no problem looser regulation but I believe it comes with greater responsibility.

This seems non-sensical to me. You want some set X of measures to be respected, but you don't want that to be explicitly enforced by government regulations - why exactly? If that set X is important, then why not make it explicit and directly enforceable? If it's not important, why should bankers be held responsible if they fail without following it?

I think it's pretty clear that the proper way of doing this would be to have official government regulation + official government guarantees for depositors at any bank that follows those regulations + actual enforcement and verification of those regulations. And any regulated bank failure should mean additional regulation to prevent those failures, similar to how the airline industry (used to) operates.

Thats why I always downscale the 16M photo and squirrel-away that larger original and release the "slightly grainer" and "slightly-cropped" photo because no one can then easily claim copyright with a lousier resolution.

You then announce DMCA takedown and having failed that, mention you have the original, then having failed to secure back royalty, file a lawsuit.

Only upon legal demand, you would release a even smaller cropped, slightly grainer of your original photo as digital evidence, but never your original 16M over the Internet.

Of course, you would be able to release your pristine 16M photo only in court lest you lose your digital advantage.

uh-uh-uh-uh, wait a minute, please contain your prejudice. First off, you're talking of a very narrow and US-centric definition of "leftist". Second, it's tiresome to hear this constant whining about "leftists" that cannot tolerate (or in your version, survive free speech) different views. It's simply not true, what doesn't rub well is constant complaints about being disrepsected for maintaining some frankly disrespectable opinions. That simple...
> The science is settled.

Well, we'll see. There are predictions of global devastation within the next decade.

> But physics doesn't care if you want it to be true or not.

It's not about that. Rather it's about the law of slow-moving disasters.

For example, what if I told you there was a train coming down the tracks that is about to flatten you. Would you be scared? What if I told you it was coming at you at 1cm/year. Would you be scared then?

This is the law of slow-moving disasters. We tend not to notice them in practice. If the weather changes year to year on the time-scale of decades or centuries, the rate of change is so low that buildings will simply be replaced over time. In extreme cases, populations will migrate.

Ancient humans have lived in climates both much warmer, and much cooler than those we currently experience.

> trust me, I would also love if it turned out to be wrong

I think I trust you. You seem like a stand-up guy, but understand that there is a huge amount of power to be distilled out of this. So there are a great number of people who are heavily incentivised to look the other way if there are any unanswered questions.

For a parallel example, see the refusal to acknowledge side effects including mycardiatus from COVID vaccinations.
this is a great biased TLDR article full of misconceptions as one can tell from the headline.

I read through part of it and I had enough. I quote one of the many misleading statements:

"So far, the gamble hasn’t paid off. Only 20 million Quest headsets have been sold"

The Xbox series S/X sold 20 million, the PS5 sold 30 million. Looking at these numbers, I'd say the Quest is pretty mainstream, no?
Amazing news! More cyclists (and fewer motorists) on the streets creates a safer, less polluted city environment for everyone.

I don't think we know yet if SVG was solvent until FDIC realises the sales on their assets.

I don't think FDIC would have seized it if there was 0% chance it was insolvent

In fact, i think it's clear creditors and shareholds are going to be wiped out, so that means they _were_ insolvent, even if their assets are able to cover their deposits (deposits are not their only liabilities)

Also I hope you aren't using the definition of solvency that ignores the time value of money, because that's nonsense

Note that the "City of London" is not the whole of the London built-up area, but just the financial services district, slightly more than one square mile in area. Still, it's a remarkable statistic even then.
The same way all small farmers do.

Every small farmer I know has at least one member of the family working at least one regular job, usually for benefits, to make ends meet.
I wonder what fraction of that are E-bikes or others with a power source additional to the human.
Overexposure to interest rate risks taken on to increase profits is what caused the problem.
>Why would not achieving the goal correlate with happiness?

Because that's what usually happens with such "bet my life on it" goals on something that affects most of your daily efforts for years.

This is not a "I'll learn to play guitar this year" kind of resolution.
The Savings and Loan crisis of the early 1980s was kicked off by rising interest rates that simultaneously made the assets (mainly mortgages) they already held not as profitable and also made their depositors want to pull their money to get a better rate on their savings accounts.

This also led to some of the S&L’s betting more on riskier loans and assets, hoping to make it all back later.

This is true to a point, but it completely disregards the historical phenomenon of the "witch hunt". McCarthyism seemed to originate in a "good place" at first, to most Americans (patriotism and anti-communism). It went so far off the rails that it did great social harm. The same phenomenon of becoming so strident in your position that you persecute "the other" (whatever "other" currently happens to be) is the same phenomenon that leads to things like the Holocaust and burning people at the stake at the extreme end. These extreme social moments in time originate from places of apparent good intentions at many moments in History. These pop up amongst the regular rolling generation gap phenomenon whenever polarization gets too extreme.

Wise people should fear times when people on the ends of the political spectrum do not talk _to_ each other, but only _about_ each other. It should be VERY apparent that we seem to be getting to such a social time (exacerbated by technology driven bubbles), and anyone who dreads the next Burning Times is a wise person.
No. It includes anyone who is opposes left wing ideas and is effective.

That's why you shouldn't watch interviews. If they're good speakers they'll trick you into adopting their views.

Not just shorts

Other than the "run" scenario (which has existed since the days of Venetian banking), there is no material evidence of a special risk that has emerged in the last two weeks.

Look at how SCHW was driven down 20% for nothing...talk about easy money...thank you for selling me SCHW at a 20% discount

Now its FRC...please show me tangible material evidence that it is going to collapse

This feels like a contrived sell off to give some traders a new entrypoint
> And then you leave the company. So it's not really at all in the best interest of the company for you to take longer to get up to speed.

Maybe it would be in their interest to pay more, so you don't leave. If average tenure of a SWE is low, they are probably switching jobs for better pay. In that case, paying them more to stay makes more sense than having to pay to get a cheaper but unproductive new hire up to speed.
not op

but i aim for peace which isn’t joy

i find pleasure to be destructive (sugar, sex, booze, drugs)

so i’ve been aiming for peace which isn’t happiness but it is pleasant without causing me to crave more of it

where joy or dopamine rush always makes me want moar
As an added plus, they are one of the few natural predators of stink bugs!
Nah, the myopic focus on Kissinger means ignoring the other culprits in the room, meaning you don't care about the Cambodians beyond using them in political games. The PRC/Vietnamese would have still sponsored the Khmer Rouge into slaughtering them. But then they would be just another in a long list that you could ignore. That's the reason for the whatabotism, the cruelty of ignoring the rest of their plight. As long as it doesn't stain your hands, you'll ignore the slaughter. And from your second point, you admit you don't care about what war crimes Kissinger did abroad only that it hurt soft power. Sounds like a defense of Kissenger to me.
I was curious and Google is explicit about this:

Travel to any country where Premium isn't supported (about half the world's countries) and, bam, it shows ads again.

Normally I can understand content licensing agreements per country, but that doesn't apply to YouTube mostly. So it seems like a real BS move indeed.
If the test-making entity writes the test so that the weaknesses of LLMs are brought to the fore, students taking the test will need to know how to compensate for those weaknesses when they're using them as a tool post-graduation.
Public Service Anecdote: my wife worked in HR, a worker sat on a portable toilet in a job site. Bit by a spider, major damage developed in the resulting weeks, necrosis and all that. Big worker’s compensation. Pro tip? Don’t sit down.

Sorry to hear about your leg. Good reminder that the facade of our security and routine we so highly value in modern society can come crashing down for the seemingly smallest of reasons.

> This is why I can’t play any games which require grinding (looking at you Eve) because I know it’s more fun IRL. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This realization almost permanently put me off most online video games. Most team-based games are made such that one individual can't swing the game too much, because that's seen as bad. Thus only about 20-30% of games you can directly impact, thus you're mainly just burning time with limited agency for player skill. MMORPGs are timesinks first and foremost, rather than skill-based games.

I replaced them (mostly) with music. Music has an infinite skill ceiling that is apparent, it is cooperative, creative, and tends to have people that want to be there, versus people who are there because they don't have anything better to do.

Have to throw a good mention of Dark Souls here. The vibes, the story, and the themes resonate deeply with me and connect naturally with the highs and lows of entrepreneurship.
>Venture capital has never been easier to get

I think you've missed a lot of developments in the last year or so...

>Just have to write a 35 page business plan, get it reviewed by capable people, have a good idea, and execute.

Thousands of aspiring SV millionaires have done just that and their companies still got nowhere.

Not to mention this sounds like the business version of "how to draw an owl" meme.
Too-long maturity is a risk, as indicated by the word “too”.
I used to live in a small town and now live in the suburbs. I do miss it some days but then there are days that I remember that I'd spend a good portion of my day trying to get the basics taken care of such as driving 30 miles to a Costco or ordering a car part and waiting several days for it to show up since I didn't want to pay extra for shipping. However I also remember how peaceful it was and how close the community felt. If you're wondering what it's like I'd say go for it and try something new, just bring yourself and your things but try to be open to how they do things there too. The only way you'll find out if you like it is to try it. Good luck!

Edit: Something interesting that I found along the way is that I do like small towns and I do like the city. I found that when I start to notice that feeling of "it's all too much" that I need to go do something physical instead of sitting at a computer or scrolling on my phone. So maybe that's go wash the dishes, or maybe that's go for a walk or bike ride, the key being that I need to balance my time between the digital world and physical world as much as possible to feel good about myself.
Jerking it.
What worries me, is articles like this could just cause it to happen.

Same. Particularly concerning in the linked article is the suggestion that insured deposits could be at risk(!) Such a suggestion seems right up there with SNB's statement last week on Credit Suisse..
I'm not sure this is accurate about being less dangerous.

It has the same poison as a black widow, just seems to inject less of it...in most cases...

15% inflation for 10 years will make us all millionaires!

That's assuming wages keep up with inflation, which is something we're seeing very few signs of these days.
Rust talks about fearless concurrency, and IME, if you avoid async await it does provide it, potentially at a cost of lovks or mutex that might not be strictly necessary for your actual use case. Actually IME async await isn't a problem either but I've read it can be an issue.

In C++ the patterns I don't see bugs in is thread pools for processing large batches of heterogeneous data, and fine grained parallelism for stuff like vector and matrix operations. But in the latter case it is all library driven, and in the former, it is a really simple pattern.
You are telling on yourself.
> The problem is that doing that will very quickly tell you that modern society fucking sucks. Almost nothing works, everyone hates each other, things that are important get ignored because of greed, and most importantly, there's almost nothing you can do about it.

You might be heavily biased due to the news & social media you take in. What remains of this if you remove all ideas about "society" that came to you in digital form? Do the people around you really all "hate each other"? Does "nothing works", really? Do important things get ignored in your physical vicinity? And if not, why could you not do anything about it?

I am saying this because a lot of (younger) people don't realise most salient news is negative news (climate distaster, war, crime etc). Well maybe they do realise this but still latently let it dictate their whole world view even though it is in complete disregard to their local world which have none or little of those problems (war, direct climate issues, hard visible racism, etc etc) .

If you just look around yourself, both in the physical world and in time (ie. in your life up to now), how much is completely, really, "fucked-up", anyway? Sure some distasters happen (relatives, friend or pets that die etc), but other than that, life around me is pretty much amazing considering how your life would've looked like 100 years ago.

Still, nature is really nice of course. We originate from nature, so it soothes us naturally (well most of us). So why not do both? Stay a couple of month per year outside of bigger cities / detach from digital media. After a while you'll miss the city probably as much as you miss nature now. So mix it up a little. Variety is the spice of life.
Product q&a on Amazon has this. It is because Amazon emails you other people's questions about products you have previously purchased, and many users don't realize there is no need to reply just to be polite.

I agree. I don't understand why the entire population of the world should be a slave to a clearly broken fractional reserve system. What is stopping someone from creating banks that take ZERO risk but just let people park money for a fee?
Somewhat important detail to note: The City of London's (AKA "The Square Mile") geographical area is 1.12 square miles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London

Man that's dumb; I tested my Hyundai Elantra vs a Model 3 and found the Elantra's steering wheel actually tracked the road, in comparison the Tesla kinda swayed from side to side and only moved the wheel when on a direct (>15 degree angle) course to exit the lane it was in.

I expect car sensors will grow in much the same way as sensors used in airliners, and that industry ensures _everything_ is redundant so one sensor failure domain can't compromise the entire vehicle.
With the outrageous tech salaries, if you live in a low CoL area, I don't know that saving a million or two by the time you're 35 is such an ambitious goal.

Search is only hot garbage if you expect the fediverse to be a global public square, which it isn't. The search drills down into your personal interaction history, and that's great.
Not so. There are over 4000 banks. If 186 would fail in that situation, that means that 95% of them would not fail in that situation. So most banks can function in that environment.

(Unless the study just looked at 200 banks or something...)

Hey there! I felt the same way.. newsletter should be simple.. it's email after all. I'm currently building a service that quite possibly will be _the_ fastest and simplest way to start a newsletter.

TLDR; open up gmail (or whatever email provider you use), and send an email to my service's address. We then send it out to all your subs.

You'll get a simple landing page with an archive list and an input for readers to subscribe. You honestly don't even need to login to the platform much at all except to see your newsletter stats (open rate, subscribers, etc.)

Also, the content lives with you and your inbox. No lock in at all.

Would love to chat more about this with you!
I don’t know why HN seems to have a culture of confusing minority opinions for toxicity
and hate.

If you are against gay marriage there’s nothing at all toxic or hateful about that. Hell, I know gay people who were against gay marriage when the public debate was at its peak.

Where it’s toxic is if any time a gay person talks about wedding planning, posts a meme about the phrase “her wife” having good energy, or shares art of two guys at the altar you appear in the replies to get on your soapbox and start an argument about gay marriage. Nobody asked. Alternatively, just like HN, if your account is entirely flamebait about gay marriage nobody wants to see that and you’ll get the hammer.

Where it’s hate is when you express the that you’re against gay marriage because you don’t want to see gay people to be out in public, you think affection between two men is disgusting and unnatural, you call their sexual orientation a lifestyle choice, call gay people pedos, or otherwise pick on, doxx, belittle, or dehumanize gay people.

Like y’all, it isn’t that hard to expressly minority opinions without being toxic or hateful. I express minority opinions constantly and have never once even been worried about the banhammer.
