Silicon valley has benefited from a doubling of workers every x years for decades as the importance of software in the economy kept increasing.

In that environment, it's important to push smart people toward management to be able to keep scaling the company.

But clearly everyone in the economy cannot develop software. So if we start slowing down the employee growth within SV, it's completely rational to stop pushing smart people into management, and perhaps even pulling them out of management. Non-manager career paths are a way to indicate to smart people they should be spending their time here.

Finance is an industry to look at as an example of one where plenty of money can be made by ICs. There must be others as well.
I routinely get outages. Then I go to HN to see if anyone has the same problem, but there's nothing. I imagine people have experienced 'outage fatigue' with Twitter. It's the new normal now.
this downplays the possibility of having competitors. if your idea either already exists or can be cloned quickly, being stuck on one platform while somebody else hoovers up the broader userbase can absolutely kill you.
I mean, those are effectively the choices, since the major impetus for ATSC 3 is the encryption. I'd honestly be fine with it if it were things like major sports events and other network programming that were going to be encrypted, but individual broadcasters (whether station group owned or not) are probably not likely to set things up where they can selectively encrypt, I expect most channels that broadcast any encrypted content will have the switch flipped to encryption 100% of the time.

It should be illegal to encrypt OTA news and local interest programming.
That was impression I got from the article as well.
For mobile app stores you are right, but only because they are the ONLY place most people will obtain software for their device from. You don't download binaries and install them from web sites on Android or Apple.

For desktop operating systems, I think you are probably wrong. Downloading and installing binaries from web sites is a huge cause of malware infection. And warez sites were not trustworthy at any time.

I doubt much malware has been installed via Linux package managers or by the Windows app store (if anyone actually uses that).
Join an instance, it really doesn't matter that much which one, as long as it's not one on the "freeze peach" side (I'd explain why, but I think you'll know them when you see them). If you pick one with a theme closer to your interests the next step will be easier, but it's less important than you might think.

Then you look at the federated feed (all messages that are sent to your instance) and follow anyone who posts anything remotely interesting.

Once your feed is too quick to follow, unfollow anyone posting any message you feel is uninteresting until the feed slows down.

At this point you should have a pretty nice starting point.

That's how I started in 2017 and I'm still there so I must have done something right at least.
Maybe consumers are starved for anything that doesn't involve a super hero?
The empty Makefile is valid
Email requires you to store something and it's perpetually buggy to infer, but with an interactive client the answer is pretty much always "store unix, localize at display-time on the device". Any other way means risking disagreement with the device settings, and that format is BY FAR what people expect when they use their device.
> what's a marriage for except creating the circumstances from which to grow

This is absolutely not in line with how most people I interact with seem to view marriage nowadays, especially not my fellow university students back when I attended.

From my perspective I think younger people mostly seem to view marriage as restricting, or backward and outdated, not an opportunity for something better.

I especially think younger people don't like the idea that in order to have freedom to pursue the things you love, you might need to marry someone who supports you financially. Otherwise you will be too busy financially supporting yourself to have that same freedom.
i think they don't. given enough data those related forms will have similar colocation profiles (aka fingerprints). not a model of semantics.. at scale it might become a proxy though.
Very interesting tgat you mention bad math teachers. I agree. During my teaching assistant stint during graduate studies in applied and pure math, I had one student who was failing. Talking to her I learned that a math teacher in high school had made her feel very stupid - she stopped learning. This happens more often than is recognized especially to girls but not just to girls.

I told her to come to office hours and I gave her problem sets to solve, first easy then progressively harder. As she got confidence that she could do this her demeanor in class changed and in the space of a month she went from failing to a B-

After this I started asking anyone who said they had math anxiety or did not like math if they had a bad math teacher they remembered. I have asked close to a hundred people this over the last 30+ years and invariably they not only remembered the name of said bad math teacher but also relived how they were told they were dumb and would never be good at math. They stopped learning at that point.

Nonetheless math is hard because it is not an evolutionary survival skill we developed. I say jokingly that math is an unnatural act. I am not a gifted math student but I like solving problems and I would just solve every problem in the book ploddingly and stubbornly. So I dont hate math and I am not in love with it either. It is a very powerful tool for problem solving and also gives you powerful analytical capability you can use in other places in life.
Tried to fit it all, maybe "DoD Report:" would have been better? On another note, would be great to see the amount of money that flows from our gov into such programs.
It's about the modern day J2EE - Kubernetes. Approximately the same cost per "getting something done" ratio. Exactly the same kind of orgs (both on the seller and buyer sides). I hear the money is good though, if you're into that kind of slow work.
Personally, I haven't witness any drug use in the various developer circles I've run except for ADHD meds. The number on ADHD meds is somewhere around 5-10% I would guess...
> Purely curious; why not start natively with iOS or Droid (depending on which one your target audience uses more)?

That did not go well with Clubhouse. Started with iOS only and a year and a half later they added Android support after getting cloned by everyone else. Especially Discord (which is in React Native).

Today, more people use Discord Stages and almost no-one uses Clubhouse, despite Clubhouse being a native app from the start.
I mean, I love ethnographic or "day in the life" nonfiction books, learning about different real cultures that way. But when they're about fictional cultures, I dunno, it feels like it'd just be better to experience that in a RPG video game or movie or something... (as a matter of personal preference only).

Of course authors are free to write as they wish. I'd never tell someone "Yo, you have too much detail for my tastes." I just wouldn't read them again. They have their own fanbases, I'm sure, just as I have my own preferences for writing style. Nothing wrong with that, right? In fact I wish there were a good recommendation engine for books based on previous reads, writing style, setting, length, etc.

Well, only one of you two is listed as the CEO of SpaceX. And I would expect that if there was much to complain about, it would be directed at that person, not at a random unaffiliated person on HN.
I honestly don't think it matters to an autocrat whether the largely powerless people he doesn't care about can or can't access a web site. But judging by the votes, this is an unpopular opinion. The HN Tribe Has Spoken though and I accept its verdict.

Why does the government use Microsoft? It is by far the buggiest, most vulnerable option available.
That sounds like something you could reasonably demand of employees, but not contractors like Uber drivers.
This is not customary. In fact I've never heard of it for placements. A broker for consulting work might take a finder's fee, but never for regular employment.

Way back when, like in the 1950s and 60s, employment agencies might take a percentage. The shift to more contract work, where the percentage is baked into the billed rate vs. what they pay, has ended this.
I'm not talking about what companies publicly say their values are. That's obvious marketing nonsense. I'm talking about the values that inform their business decisions.

For some apps, cross platform mobile development and finding core users across larger audience can be easier than going native and finding core users on a single platform.

There can be probably other reasons too.
I think some US firms may have dug tunnels beneath the Hudson river to be able to locate in Jersey City rather than Manhattan. That probably cost millions.
I'm not questioning what you're saying here, but I'm in a state of near-constant confusion about what "a replacement for Twitter" means and how it apparently means so many different things to different people.

For me, I use mastodon exactly the same way I used twitter. I talk with interesting people, I post random thoughts, and generally look for discussions about topics I find interesting. It is a substantially better experience than twitter because there's no algorithm messing with what (and who) I can see.

There seem to be two primary post-twitter constituencies that do not see the world the way I do:

1. People who want to see what Brands and celebrities (or their PR team) are talking about and consume their content

2. People who want to fight with others or consume current events news (overlapping circles in a venn diagram)

Honorable mention to identity-based communities that need to pick up and move to ONE place to save their community.

I'm none of those things. Threads coming closest to replicating the vibe of twitter is a massive turn-off for me. And given I don't really want to be in the halo of either group 1 or 2 above, I'm ok with social media fragmenting like this. (I do miss seeing the identity-based communities well-represented... there's some of that on mastodon but not enough.)

I was just thinking that it was an interesting pivot for Disney from movies/animations into theme parks. You can tell that they obviously put a lot of thought into "experience engineering", and I was kinda wondering what the connection was.

Obviously the IP provides a nice jumping-off point, and there are broadly similar themes around building a new reality etc. But it's not intuitively an obvious leap from moviemaking to theme park building.

The idea of theme parks as "real life video games" provides some continuity to that.
Well Elon and his "X" go back a long way. He apparently had the X.com domain and wanted to rename PayPal to X. Then he called one of his children X. And recently he renamed Twitter Inc. to X Corp. (xAI is a separate company).

Do you have proof that they changed the recipe/process. My wife and I have long suspected this, but I believe officially they denied any change.

The rebrand was an absolute disaster of marketing. You have a 125 year old brewery with an old-fashioned looking logo, and you throw that all out for a more modern design that looks like every other beer on the shelf that got their designer off of fiver.

I agree with this and reflects my personal experience.

While potencial of a large audience is great, if you don't even have users to start with, the choice should be the response to "what gets PMF faster" and not "what do I need to take me from 500k ARR to +2M ARR".

I didn't downvote, but I think there's a difference between a company being a "don't be evil" company and being an evil company.

Huggingface may very well be perceived as neutral or unproven, and so qualifies as neither. (Just speculating).

I don't see how that affects the "evil or not" question at all.
Streaming services don’t need new hits to drive revenue, they only need subscribers.

Normally you’d say that a streaming service that is not producing scripted hits would lose subscribers to one that is. But if none of them are producing new scripted hits? The old hits might hold onto folks for a while.

Call it the “gotta watch something” theory.
The responses from 1Password are maddening. "Can't say if of when the dev team will address this", "I'll add a vote on your behalf (smiley)", "Keep checking our release notes"
> As long as some platform is capable and powerful for many things, there will be malware.

This is true but there are also degrees of that. Windows in particular is a graveyard of discarded tech waiting to be galvanized by malware, because of the backwards compatibility and because of the Microsoft's habit of abandoning the half-done frameworks and APIs. Apple's stuff is much tidier just because they regularly deprecate and compress their fully owned stack (although they also have their turds of course). In Linux, there's terrible fragmentation and a lot of ancient and barely maintained stuff, but at the same time it can be customized to only include the best practices and omit a lot of dead weight.

That's a good point - if the success of the product relies on a critical mass of adoption (social networks, marketplaces) then missing one platform would exponentially hurt that.

But IMHO for apps where that isn't the case starting with a single platform is a good bet.
Gonna say something controversial, the future of mobile apps is going to be webviews. It's already the case for desktop. iPhones are getting cpus that are close to desktop CPUs from 5 years ago and they can run 3d games.

I went down this road a few years ago. Reading up on algorithmic trading is a great start. HFT often employs normal algorithmic trading techniques optimized for low latency. There are some algorithms that only work when you have a temporal edge. That is the software side. The hardware side is really interesting as well. If a connection to an exchange can be reduced by a few milliseconds it gives a competitive advantage. There is a lot of money spent to be the fastest because for some types of algorithmic trading being fastest almost means free money. Because of how lucrative a minor edge can be you are not likely to find many details on the bleeding edge of HFT.

Beware, the more you read about the practices of HFT firms the more some of it looks like fraud on a grand scale. For example, front running orders is a common practice that goes unpunished for HFT firms but will land you or I in jail.

I got into algorithmic trading and HFT when I was dabbling in bot trading cryptocurrencies. The wild west of crypto bot trading is pretty much gone now but man it was fun while it lasted.

In addition to the algorithmic trading books suggested I found these links helpful:

Yeah sorry I kind of garbled that sentence.

That’s my point when inflation, rises and ploy is unionized, and we just go up. And then wages go up there’s less profit for the company so either there’s an economic downturn or there’s inflation again. So the people who control the economy are trying to balance this level between corporate profit and work or revolt. And that has been the so-called 2% sweet spot.

The C abstract machine has nothing about stacks or program counters. There is the concept of sequencing: what is currently being evaluated, what has been evaluated and what is not yet evaluated. When a function is called, the calling function is suspended; then when the invoked function returns, the caller is resumed. From that we can infer that there must exist an activation chain.

Mainstream Lisps have all these abstract elements also. The main differences are in data, and environments what constitutes a value; what is a type; what is a variable; what is the lifetime of an object, and the scope of visibility of a binding, ...

Hm. I think a person should probably stay wary of the limitations of anthropomorphizing a corporation, but it probably can work to a limited extent.

Climate change models seem to indicate amplifying feedback loops would be the likely scenario rather than "countering" forces.

And for your specific example "increased CO2 -> more plankton -> more fish", this tends to not be the case in reality. Large algae blooms result in mass fish die offs.
