You don't have to bet, the data is in the paper I linked. 75% of bitcoin volume is speculation. Meanwhile in the traditional economy, 95% of global financial activity is speculation (see below).

What level of speculation would you say is high enough to justify throwing away the remaining productive uses of an asset class?

---

In 2019, forex volume was $6.6T per day[1], or $1716T per year. In 2019, global GDP was $87.3T[2]. That's less than 5% economically meaningful activity.

On a positive note I think you can get this without being C-suite (although I also think it shouldn’t be hard to get for anybody!)

I work at an HFT firm as a C++ dev as a junior. Finance loves the office. I go in 5 days a week.

The one person that doesn’t come in at all? My boss with 15 years of experience. He wrote most of the trade engine himself, the firm would fall apart if he left.

So he can set his terms and he is home 100% of the time.
> Yoo-jung trolled for a victim online on Everytime

I think that does not really qualify for "trolling".

> The taxi driver became suspicious about Jung carrying a bloody suitcase late at night into the bushes.
> they found a goldmine of compromising evidence at Soo-jung's, including human remains. They also found her victim's phone, ID card, and wallet.

Luckily, at least watching true crime doesn't seem to make people too proficient in murder.

Also, why is the name spelled Yoo-jung and Soo-jung? Is that some korean language property?
whatever you do, use whatever money you earn to become an OWNER of something

this is an economy of owners and renters, you will be one or the other

so buy an income property to rent out, etc

otherwise, you are always just someone who works for someone else

people who try to succeed just based on their salary will be disappointed unless it is a mammoth salary (becoming more rare in sw)

Attestation is an optional feature (that the site needs to turn on) that basically restricts authentication to that site to a particular brand's authenticators.

It might be that every site restricts their allowed authenticators to one from Google or Apple, but there isn't much point in intentionally breaking your users' devices. I don't think attestation will be widely deployed outside of some niche corporate cases (e.g. you can only use a Yubikey to log in to the company VPN).
Optimizing for “ramping” seems incredibly shortsighted.

Does seeing things through, pushing through the hard bits, the bits that only come up after a few years when your pet project starts spouting fire or some major restructuring happens and not to mention loyalty doesn’t mean anything anymore?
This seems like a good context for the quote, “if you want to build a ship, […] teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” I don’t think that Saint-Exupery intended to suggest that the yearning was enough on its own, but it makes the process so much more effective.
I mean, if they want to start on at companies distributing cool stuff that some people like but can be dangerous, guns are right there.
There are more dimensions to this that just the tech stack.

- Industry: focusing on big tech or quant finance would be a good choice. That's where the money is IMHO.

- Expertise: if you invest on being the best, that will pay off.

- Network: you will get you best offers from friends and colleagues, not head hunters.

- Role: being an above average support engineer can very well earn you more than an above average data scientist, just because there are much fewer bright people willing to work in support positions.

- Jumps: at the beginning of your career, move often, say every 1-3 years. Calm down the frequency after that.
> Seamlessly? How is Electron not seamless?

Because it duplicates the overhead of an entire browser (and Chromium at that) rather than the overhead of a single webpage in an already-open browser?
Yeah, generally speaking unless it's a very large shard and cuts your esophagus, once it reaches your stomach, acids will knock the edges off and it'll pass without issue.
Here's the paper this is summarizing: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-023-02056-2

In cases where a lot of people are contributing DNA to a sample, which I'd expect for most environmental sampling, it seems like you would need impractically large amounts of sequencing before you could identify anyone specific in sequencing conducted for other purposes: you'd need to get a sequencing read which could have come from only one person, or enough reads each matching a small number of people that you could make an inference about an individual.

The paper does have "The long eDNA reads sequenced here suggest that with targeted enrichment of informative genomic locations, one could achieve individual-level identification even from pooled samples" but this is just saying that environmental sampling with the specific goal of identifying individuals could be possible. This is very different from this being something that normal researchers might do by accident in the process of environmental sequencing for a different purpose.
I generally think of "FinTech" as startups/scale-ups working on finance related products, and they're not too different.

There's quite a difference with what I think of as pure-finance, companies that aren't producing a tech product, but are using tech to make money with financial services, or betting on the markets in various ways.

As for the problems, I was once in an interview given a coding task of moving money around a network of companies based on tax rules. Fun.
Escalating open war against its users is not a very good idea for Reddit. Keep gaming that option out, and all the other responses and counterresponses.

Broadly, Reddit needs money to survive, and they need goodwill to get money. Burning $X of goodwill to make $10X dollars is kind of what they're trying to do now, but it's a very delicate move on their part. If you kind of build some simple mathematical models in your head it's not hard to see how delicate this move is, since "goodwill" is also people visiting. As large as the site is, it is not very many exponential processes from 90%+ losses. It is one of great perils of social sites in general, they can't help but transmit social contagions by their very design. There's quite a number of sites that have been wiped out by these forces (MySpace), and a larger number of sites that nominally still exist but are shadows of their former selves (Slashdot, Tumblr post-porn removal, Digg).

I suspect Reddit management is making a classic mistake and operating with a linear model of their options when in fact the situation is very non-linear because of the fact that goodwill feeds back on goodwill. It's only locally linear and they can leave the linear domain quickly and irreversibly.
politicians tend to like monopolies as a subset of liking centralized control over things. This means they just need to get 10 people in the room to control entire industries
Expand on this. How has the rule book changed and how would you answer OP's question now that we're in a high-interest rate world?
I meant microplastic concentrations in the real world, i.e. not in a lab.

If the concentrations of those used in a lab are far in excess of those in the real world, then these results may be of less concern.
Another junior eng here chiming in.

Base on what I can gather from my friends who work in the space (DRW, Citadel) it's just more stressful and has more politics than my current role (ML Engineer @ a retail company). Trading income for work-life balance and stress, and maybe OP is hinting that as you progress down that track the WL balance and stress only increase.

Just my 2 cents and why I didn't choose to pursue that path.
And pro- "not jamming everyone into unaffordable cities" which makes real estate costs for the employee untenable....while increases in remote-work enable growth or at least maintenance of current population in smaller towns and regions. If one wishes to see their own small town non-major-metro area thrive and not continue to lose population, work from home is a clear win for that goal.
Fair. I was one of those consultants (experts in software being implemented by the local team), though, and - specifically with teams that needed more help and interventions - going onsite was hugely valuable. I'm not saying remote is impossible, but I got much more done when I could sit with people 1-on-1 and build relationships/see what they didn't know to show me.
You are assuming that all the homes are well equipped to handle good flows. Maybe true in American suburbia with big homes and spare rooms. How about small city apartments shared other people (partner, roommates)? Multi-generational setups? Toddlers at home? I bet most of the workers do not have a proper working set up at home.
But it sounds like a management problem, if they cannot organize their team to get together on one day. Shouldn't that be easier than just forcing everyone to be in every day?
I'm guessing at least (1) is true. Blumenthal is the senator who thought "finsta" was a product that Meta offered. Hawley in hearings has tried to get Meta to commit to not use the contents of encrypted messages for ad-targeting, apparently unaware that those contents were not readable. Being for years on a committee responsible for technology has not pushed them to develop an understanding of the domain.
Eugh. See also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36226432
>I feel like you're unclear on what poverty, homelessness, and hunger are.

And I feel like you do not understand that the average American is not homeless.

If you are homeless you are not going to be a person who is spending >$40/mo for food and needing a cook book to make cheap food interesting to eat. You will just buy cheap food until you bootstrap yourself back to a house and a stable job.

Of course scams exist with dollars. Scams exist wherever people hold things of value that others want.

People want the USD. I'd argue that crypto is mainly a dollar/fiat scam, as getting their hands on fiat seems to be the point of it. "I'll trade you magic beans for those USD" isn't about the beans, its about the USD.

People are free to trade BTC on the blockchain no matter what the US government says. It's anonymously cashing out to dollars that seems to be their main goal, and the source of all the ecosystem's trouble and reputation problems.

It seem clear to me that almost all of the utility in the crypto space revolves around fraud and criminal behavior. There is little intrinsic "value" in a crypto token, it seems to be nothing more than an unit of account for a large extra-governmental online casino. It empowers and amplifies criminals who do more collective damage than the few "unbanked" that are helped.

And so my argument is that because of the above, crypto is not The Future of Finance by a long shot. And my original point was that there are a surprising number of people here that still believe it is in spite of the evidence.
16% seems... suspiciously low. I would have estimated this effect to be much larger.

A paralyzed government also can't pass bad laws. Considering how rarely laws are repealed, this is arguably a feature, not a bug.
I think this is maybe not directly comparable with purple air, was able to find old chat messages I had sent showing that the AQI in my neighborhood in SF was upwards of 300 on September 11th, 2020
Worth noting, the amount of people that believe they’re capable of getting into FAANG is not the same as the amount of people capable of getting into FAANG, which is also not the same as the people that actually get into FAANG. I wouldn’t base your planned career trajectory on something like this.

That said, just pick anything and become better than average at it. What do you like? If you think statistics is boring, you’ll hate the Python/ML path. If you think CSS sucks, you’ll hate the FE path. Etc. Find something you actually like and become better than average at it, and then shop that skill around. Once you get a job, seek out the smartest people/most interesting work at that company.

Rinse. Repeat every 2-3 years (faster iteration earlier on, slower iteration after more experience).

Great. I hate the Langchain's author avatar and the documentation with a passion.

The documentation failed at explain the "terms" being used. What's an agent ? What does "langchain" mean ? Some minimal example that works without little efforts ? .. Nothing's there.

The feeling is that, he doesn't respect software engineer who's new to AI to some extend.
Senators are realizing the power of AI and want to control it, bending it to their will using back-channels. OpenAI is going to have to "leak" its models as well or will become an extension of the political elites.
> "Meetings" as a concept, has replaced working with people.

Organizations are in decline when they begin to think of meetings as the work instead of the meeting output.
It may be how you load, I don't think that's a common issue. Microscopic bits of glass are basically sand though so I wouldn't worry unless there's a lot or it's getting airborne.
Rivian and Lightning are both available and fully functional, is Tesla planning a redesign or sticking with the weekend-soapbox-derby aesthetic?
Right, I forgot it’s on windows now. Maybe it’s slower on there, because it seems very snappy on macOS still but I have nothing to compare it to (I think I’ve been affinity-only for close to 10 years!)

Both of those frameworks require javascript to be enabled for anything requiring an event handler.
JavaScript/Node.js is a solid direction. I see people struggling with Node/React that are tasked with it only because they are familiar with Java or some other tech stack. Being flexible and able to learn a new stack pretty quickly will help as well. Also negotiate each new role/raise.
If your problem is needing to synchronize a complex mesh of services when you upgrade stuff, the solution is to not have a complex mesh of services that needs managing.

I have a dist-directory, in it is a directory for with each release version, and a symlink current pointing to the current release. To deploy a new version, I create a new directory, unpack each service, and then redirect the symlink ... then "systemctl restart service-name".
What products use PFAS whose absence would cause society to collapse? If you look at the major sources of PFAS by 3M, it's not like these were essential products. Here's a random list from wisconsin.gov:

Cleaning products.
Water-resistant fabrics, such as rain jackets, umbrellas and tents.
Grease-resistant paper.
Nonstick cookware.
Personal care products, like shampoo, dental floss, nail polish, and eye makeup.
Stain-resistant coatings used on carpets, upholstery, and other fabrics.
Analysis of statistical power is a super basic thing and is a normal part of research in medicine, psychology, social sciences ... etc.
Oh, believe me, I picked that somewhat on purpose. Like I said, I'm not convinced that remote is amazing. I'm also far from convinced that OKRs are. Google just has the curse that, in a rising tide, all measures go up. Similarly, in a falling one...
In the paper they mention a concentration of 20ug/ml. I haven't compared this to what is typical for drinking water, food, etc.
Dead horse. Please stop kicking me...
Holding the public hostage is an intrinsic property of public sector unions. That's the leverage they hold. If they don't like the deal being offered they can stop working and because their roles are so important that holds the public hostage.
Not saying it's not, but the implication that everyone was dying at 30 isn't true.
I don't see what's irrational about that. Money is cheap and sloshing around, demand is through the roof, party can go on for a long time... hiring more people to grow your business seems to be the right move there.
Yeah, I do wonder if that's the right frame, the Apple I one.

The recent self-litmus test I ran was, would my grandmother and I really love this? Would we sit in line like we did for the iPhone and get one for each other so we can stay connected?

VP is a resounding yes. That said we also got pebbles... though it was just the best at the time... she died too early to see the rest

You could still use the browser extension provided by Avast, no difference here.
So this is notable, for some value of notable, because Apple has not provided Figma assets before.

They have provided really quite good Sketch UI kits up until now.

https://developer.apple.com/design/resources/

Depending on how much Kremlinology you want to indulge in, this is either…

(a) Apple recognizing what tools its users use, and providing useful assets

(b) Apple is giving in by not promoting the platform-native Sketch app and accepting they are being washed away by the tide of cross-platform Electron apps†

(c) Apple is engaging in a Big Corporation conspiracy with Adobe, the probable new owners of Figma, to lock you into proprietary subscription software forever and ever

† yes, I know Figma is not Electron, it is a wild cross-platform browser runtime unto itself, but you know what I mean
Robot, experience this tragic irony for me!
Google historically was pretty chillaxed and let managers set standards for their team.

It sounds like now Google is going to be tracking attendance a bit more closely.

I don't think Google would be doing this if it didn't have data showing productivity had been suffering.
There's already a lot of great advice on what to do in the comments, so let me address a specific part of your question and suggest what NOT to do: Do not learn COBOL and do not try to make a play for maintaining legacy code.

It's not that it's a bad career, and frequently the places that still use COBOL are pretty stable and unlikely to do mass layoffs (governments, banks, insurance companies, etc), but it's TERRIBLE for maximizing your income, which is what your question is about.

If they don't have the money to rewrite all that old legacy code in something needlessly new and shiny, they very likely do not have the money to pay high programmer salaries, either! Well, that, or they have a finance-focused hand at the tiller, working to keep costs (and salaries) down. Neither of which is terribly conducive to you making big bucks in the short term. (And yes, ten years is "the short term". You in ten years will agree with me, even if you don't now. =) )

I keep saying it but it would be phenomenal if glass container recycling became an earnest effort. I’m just not sure we actually have the infrastructure to support such an endeavor. Even something like carting a load of groceries out to your car and loading them up suddenly becomes quite a lift.
I live here. Do not leave anything in your vehicle or it will be broken into! The springtime brings so much theft and crime from what I’ve personally seen. If you go downtown ~50% of blocks have evidence of recent break-ins. It happened to me a few weeks ago right when the weather was getting warmer, a very apparent rise in crime this season.

Hybrid, even one day a week, is a compromise that enables the vast majority of what the RTO people want and almost nothing the WFH people want. Dress it up anyway you want, but there's a reason why so many recruiters hide hybrid behind the remote label until very late in the hiring process. Hybrid is simply unable to attract people who want WFH but is a favorite "we gave you 1% and we get 99%" compromise of the forced faux friends camp. No matter how many bottles of pretty sprinkles you put on a turd, it's still a turd.
There are such capture devices and they are already in use to burn trash.
There will be an initial flurry of Cybertruck sales. Musk will latch onto that with typical bravado and proclaim he told everyone so.

Then sales will tank. It'll be a niche seller thereafter. A trinket.

It was an exceptionally stupid approach to a truck by Tesla (which I noted when it was revealed). Ford will make a zillion dollars on electric trucks, they did the obvious thing and Musk couldn't get out of his own way in needing to create the unnecessary and unwanted just to do something different. See, look how innovative we are, at doing pointless things.

It's the modern truck version of the DeLorean, at a time when Tesla very desperately needs diversification from Model 3 sales (one point of business death). The truck should have been a gigantic, hyper profitable segment, and they'll have wasted years going down the wrong path.
Anything containing "rubber."
First you state that PRISM isn't used domestically. Then you admit that it is used domestically. I have no idea why you're mentioning warrants from the 1800's. "The feds were getting warrants to open mail in the 1800's." Are you trying to suggest it is used only infrequently?

While the number of times PRISM is used domestically is unknown, the attempts to keep the number unknown is eyebrow raising.

"Wyden repeatedly asked the NSA to estimate the number of Americans whose communications had been incidentally collected, and the agency’s director, Lt. Gen. Keith B. Alexander, insisted there was no way to find out. Eventually Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III wrote Wyden a letter stating that it would violate the privacy of Americans in NSA data banks to try to estimate their number." https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/us-intelligenc...
Given that traditional aesthetics are already being provided to the market by Chevy and Ford, and typical EV aesthetic by Rivian, it should be more fun if Tesla continues to be really weird with their truck.
There are tons of models that either LoRA or finetune LLaMA, but I meant foundational models, i.e., ones completely distinct from LLaMA. That includes Falcon, MPT, StableLM, StarCoder, Replit Code, CodeGen.

There's also RedPajama and OpenLLaMA, which are intended to give similar performance to LLaMA but be legally distinct.
I mean... sure? Hard to ignore that they set the tone with "we are embracing work from home" to "we are no longer classifying folks as fully remote, at large" to "and everyone else is required to be in an office 3 days a week."

I'm reminded of the scene, "I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further."
