I'm also talking about day-trading here. A retail investor might find worth in being a market maker for a few things which each have a daily volume of $25,000 and 1% margins. An institutional investor may see that $25,000 volume as a rounding error.
You forgot to say what it is.
That seems disingenuous when the climate catastrophe is going to have far greater effects on modern life. Too many people are clinging to the dream of continuing to dig out and burn as much oil as possible when it's clear that that behaviour is not sustainable.

Although personal responsibility is never a bad thing, we need to focus on the big companies that have been deliberately hiding climate science for decades - they're the ones doing the lion's share of the polluting and suppressing alternatives.
I have those, they are awesome...and disgusting...and awesome.
Yeah, this is also explained in the book I can highly recommend: The Science of Cooking [0]. It has stuff like this and many more tricks and background. It’s absolutely pop-science, so don’t expect a dissertation, but it’s great for home cooks.

Imagine a world without fixed-rate retail lending. In such as world managing interest rate risk is pushed to individuals, i.e., those least informed and equipped to manage it. Its hard to imagine that world being "intrinsically less toxic".

In complex systems it is important (but not always easy) the distinguish effects of different causal order (the immediate role and impact, the second and third order effects etc.) The failings of modern financial systems are legion but incoherent rants in blog posts are not particularly helpful in sharpening and deepening our understanding of this beast we have created...
> I would suggest that we can do better by not going there

The problem is that you are recommending we turn off capitalism, which will have serious consequences that are easier to predict than climate change: we will doom the world’s poor people to lives of certain poverty with no hope of upward mobility.
Cheetahs have come back to India. Why do they keep dying?
The projected annual pension defecit was 30 billion in 15 years, then gradual reduction (as people die). This was the most optimistic scenario, based on x% growth and y% unemployment. Other scenarios were analysed.

Btw, these analyses were performed by the Council for the Orientation of the Pensions, a bi-partisan entity.

The other options you mention were :

* more tax on people (france famously already has the highest in the OECD)

* more tax on companies (which will just increase cost of work and thus drive jobs elsewhere)

* run a defecit (debt is already scary high, and it means essentially making pay our kids for grandma's old age)

What is the other way you had in mind?

Note: two years later paying out means two year more paying in. So two years "effectively is 4 years".

Ive written a few android apps in webview, and I don't want to do it ever again. For small apps maybe, but large scale apps in JavaScript is a nightmare to maintain.
It depends.

For non-rent control places new landlords subsidize the cost. It's happening a lot in Toronto right now. Tons of new condos that investors bought where the rent doesn't cover the monthly carrying costs. They are betting that price appreciation will make them whole (and more). That's a risky bet.

For rent controlled apartments, you basically pay based on what the tenant's rent is. So if you have someone paying 50% of market rate, that dramatically bring the value of the house down. I was renting in a 3 unit building that would be worth $6M empty, but with 3 tenants paying below-market rates, it was sold for about $2M.
I'm not "stoic" or much into any other "ism", and don't particularly align with many other people in "STEM" fields.

The practices I've discovered came after many years of experiencing debilitating emotional and physical pain, which is now mostly resolved, though not completely, hence the ongoing work.

That it's common for people to be influenced more by cognitive biases and other emotional patterns than logic is not exactly a novel or controversial notion, but it's easily forgotten, particularly by people who self-describe as "rationalist" (which I very much don't).

Anyway, I frequent HN in the hope of avoiding sneery comments like this one, which seems to break the guidelines.
> owning a house costs way more than the mortgage itself, that renters dont pay

The renters do pay. It's included in the rent. Unless you think the landlords are, everywhere, happily making a loss?

I have a couple of similar experiences. I've spent >1,500 hours playing Team Fortress 2 and can recognize things that other gamer friends just can't see. I'm still not good at TF2, but I can recognize great playing.

Years ago I was active in Tae Kwon Do and achieved black-belt status. One time, during a sparing match with my teacher, I was astounded to be able to spot a hole in his defense. In fact, I was so distracted by my perception that I completely froze and he scored a point. I like to think that my seeing that hole gave me a glimpse into what it might be like to be good at TDK. I still think about that experience to this day.
I think the mindmap drawn can be simplified further down into a couple of networking concepts, then most of the relationships and arrows go away, and the AWS concepts can be mapped to other clouds, and even your own home network.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18925350 is an excellent visualization of the basics. Start with what a network is, what’s inside and what’s outside, and the mental model becomes way easier. Then the AWS features make a lot of sense even w/o all the details.
If they offered just normal global addressing + firewalling, most of this complexity would just go away.

We easily forget what the internet at the IP level is about and what problems its end-to-end architecture solves.

AWS instructed "Well-Architected (TM)" networking is really just profitable cargo cult thinking leading to complexity, mazes of 10.x networks all alike peppered by address conflicts, kludgey proxies etc when you try to get them to talk to each other, less actual security (complexity is the enemy of security), and vendor lock-in.

I’m a huge PHP fan. But hell, no.

Why don’t we use tools for the things they are good at? PHP as a backend server language is great, because it was built for it. Just like JavaScript is intended for web frontend applications. In my opinion, nodeJS was a mistake. It’s built upon layers of workarounds, and NativePHP looks exactly the same, just the other way around.

It’s not that hard to learn another programming language once you’ve learned one, so why not learn to code in a language that’s designed for your task, instead of trying to frankenstein some monster just so you don’t have to learn a new language?
Sigh. Oligarch money still flowing, then.
The expert opinions that I've seen so far have indicated that geoengineering at any scale that we're realistically able to produce on a short notice is unlikely to have a sufficient effect on climate change. Essentially it's a pipe dream at best, and a way to create additional (localised) disasters at worst.

If the only proper argument for doing it is that "the left" is against it and "the right" is for it, that seems comparatively weak.

I had a skim through and I think AWS Cloud WAN is missing: https://aws.amazon.com/cloud-wan/

It's like a layer on some of these concepts, but also its own thing that could sit alongside. You can connect AWS and non-AWS things into a network and segment them and define where traffic can flow from/to.
I use the G305 which is even more barebones in the buttons, however I remapped the dpi button to be a sort of "omnifunctional activator" that I combine Lua scripting from LGS with other Autoit scripting for accessing WinAPI to achieve multitouch gestures with my mouse. The UX isn't quite refined enough to be a standalone application that I can share on GitHub yet, but eventually I'll figure out how to turn them into a self-contained package.
You’re supposed to be able to afford it if the rate goes up, and build that into your risk model, and rein in your spending.

This then means that central bank interest rises have an immediate effect on the spare cash for a wide swathe of the population.

You’re also supposed to have at least 20% equity at the get-go in Australia, or you end up having to pay extra for some sort of loss of value insurance (I haven’t looked into this much as it’s not my situation). This is making it hard for young folks to get started in an environment of elevated prices.

From my perspective it would be a pretty sweet deal if I could fix my loan for 25 years and only ever revise the rate down!

That’s why I was asking - what sort of rates do you actually end up paying, vs the central bank rate at the time?
Do you have any sources for this? My googling skills are failing me. I'm surprised early x86 (which I assume you're including) were aware of security issues with accurate clocks; I certainly wasn't until this millennium :D I would rather guess observed clock jitter would be explained by interrupts or some such. Not saying you're wrong, I'd just like to learn more.
Your kind of thought process will seem amusing and quaint in the future and I don’t think it’s just 8th grade math nerd thinking. The math says we have existed in a very unique century historically with regard to economic growth.

Even maintaining current economic growth would mean a 10x by 2100, which is absurd in a world expected to stop population growth by then.

LLaMA 2 – Every Resource you need
Especially, shiny UI (which I hear many of my colleagues mix with UX) seems more important than anything for many; performance, latency/snappy-ness, memory use, cpu use, battery consumption etc. I can present a high performance, native, tiny binary product with excellent UX but shite UI and a slow, heavy, battery sucking product with horrible UX but great UI and most will pick the latter.

Now it's much easier to make that bloated shiny product, as you don't have to think about UX, performance, latency, memory leaks etc; you just stomp something together quickly, wrap Electron and ship. People who carefully weigh all the options and spend time making something great, generally don't get paid for their efforts. So why would they?
What an absolutely bullshit take, honestly I have a hard time reasonably reacting to it, it is so dumb.

We can’t predict the future down to a point, but we can make good, large-scale predictions with good accuracy — global average temperatures will increase and by every prediction, that will have catastrophic results. Period. That’s not some doomer news, that is reality. We can’t predict how individual countries will react, but that is not the question.
Leaving aside the small matter of your entire take here being utterly wrong, there's this:

> Even since the last ice age, within the existence of humanity, seas have risen 120 METERS. It had absolutely nothing to do with human activity.

Do, seriously, check your sources.

Now, go to the actual papers they cite.

Now read them very very carefully.

Do they actually say that global sea level changed by hundreds of metres?

Or do they in fact discuss how tide marks on land forms (such as the UK and Antartica) show how the land forms rose by hundreds of metres after the massive weight of glaciers retreated?

ie. Do they point out that other landforms (that had no glaciers or a more solid basin) have no such record of changing tide marks.

I realise that this is fine detail stuff and you're clearly not a detail orientated person .. but do look into it.

Best regards.
My (inexpert) thought is that it would actually be the releasing of the vacuum that would drive the marinade into the meat. Which makes me wonder: does the rate of pressure release make a difference? How about repeating the process several times? Hum.
I seem to remember the end of the telephone sanitizers story was that you shouldn't get rid of them no matter how annoying, lest a plague spread via telephone handsets.
> You have never seen a comment that helpfully explains that getUsername() returns a string with the username of the user that the method is invoked on?

Yes, but that's not all that annoying when the opposite is you stumbling upon a service pattern with uncommented methods along the lines of CVKUser getCVKUser(int cvkId, ...) or VFUser getVFUser(int cktId, ...), without having any idea what the person writing the code 4 years ago was thinking.

You've no idea what CVK or VF is supposed to be and have to spend an hour looking at both of those classes, as well as everything that surrounds them in the codebase, as well as what cvkId and cktId are supposed to be and why cktId supposedly matches VFUser, to do enough code archaeology, so you're able to figure things out confidently.

That said, there is little use in code comments that explain WHAT the code does for trivial bits of code, instead of comments that explain WHY it works like that (like a more sane version of having to dig through Jira tickets, or years of commit history, or old pull requests, or whatever) or what other considerations there are to take into account (since separate docs won't be read as much and Jira tickets won't always have the technical information).
Yes I’m only considering indentation now. Tabs vs spaces for indentation feels like it has reasonable arguments both ways but tabs for alignment just feels wrong tbh. Never even considered it a possibility in source code (and never saw it in the wild).
Needlessly wasted, because each person doing that could publish it as a spec and save everyone else the effort.

They are relatively easily converted between formats (ie: deb/rpm)... once any is made. Personally, I appreciate that this is generally available in distributions.

This is the entire purpose behind Linux distributions. Package up and distribute the software.

I don't begrudge anyone plugging away at development, but using the source as the distribution model drives me mad.
Great Documentation
I've experienced "tacit..feelings" personally on many development projects. I'm not sure why this path is better than the other path, but it just feels better to me. One example is where to put new code. Do you put it in the existing code (monolith) or do you create a "service" for the code? Sure, some things are pretty straightforward but sometimes there really is a toss up of where this new thing should live.

The problem is when someone asks me why, I can't really explain it and it gives less weight to the decision. However, looking back I can say that I've been more right than wrong, so I guess I have that going for me.
IBM MQ has been the standard for message queues for literal decades.

Hitching a horse to a different technology platform that has only been around for a few years to complete a project that should last for many more decades would be an architectural choice that would only lead to high costs and high risk of major changes in the future and puts the whole system at risk.

Just like Swing and JavaFX use a thin layer over whatever are the 3D APIas of the host.

While Android isn't proper Java, converting JVM bytecodes into a better format for embedded deployment is quite common on embedded world.

This study[0] and several other studies by UN, Oxford Uni etc disagree with you. The single best thing an individual can do is immensely reduce or completely avoid meat and dairy. Imagine millions and millions of people doing this, behavioural change will trigger system’s change.

It’s something we can do today, just need to decide whether having a burger is more important or not.

I don't think that explains it. Many Green voters experience some sort of self-hatered, they claim humanity is a disease, etc. In particular many voters do not want nuclear power at all.
I wonder why there aren't any missions to go to Saturn's moons for raw materials. Iapetus is basically a sphere made of ice and has an orbital velocity as low as 3.26km/s and 2% of earths gravity. I don't know anything about its solar resources but a large scale RTG should be enough to kickstart the industry.
Or we’d return to the meat/travel consumption patterns of the early 20th century: trans-Atlantic trips being a once-in-a-lifetime thing or once-every-few-years for the well-off, and the Sunday roast/chicken being the highlight meal of the week.
I agree with some of your points about excesses of American lifestyle (where I live), but there is another side to this. A pretty good proxy for wealth is basically how much stuff you can waste and not care about. I can leave all the lights on in my house because electricity is cheap, or I can afford to eat so much delicious food I become overweight and get heart disease.

You could argue that I should turn off the lights, and on that point you might have some ground. But more generally there are many things in my life that I save time on by basically throwing a little money in the trash, and I am very fortunate to have this opportunity. This is on a spectrum and we should obviously not cause obscene long term damage so I can save 2 seconds per day, but we are not at that point yet.

And regarding inequality, it is also on a spectrum, and at some point it is definitely too much, but I don’t think we have necessarily crossed that line. 99% of the people in my city have enough food to eat. And the right amount of inequality is certainly not 0, the only way to achieve that is by killing all life on earth. Some inequality is a natural consequence of the different branches of possibility that people explore with their lives. To the extent that we have anything in our society it’s because we are able to share ideas and cooperate. A society will necessarily always have the have’s and the have-not’s.
> Those who choose to participate will have their general internet access removed along with root privileges on their individual boxes if they had that

Is it just a software thing? For example IP blocking via iptables? 0-days in OS kernels are not something super surprising in these days, not really sure a software lock would really help that much.

Maybe they should just give their employees two computers, one air-gapped for accessing internal systems and must be kept in the company facility issued the computer, and another one fully online for accessing Stack Overflow and must not store any company information.
> There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.

The other, of course, involves orcs.

> It is insane to suggest capitalism won’t solve this problem by the time it actually needs solving

That time is now, and it has failed.

But it is crystal clear that we should decrease our current CO2 usage as much as we can, even at the (imo small) price of personal luxury — even if some new technical advantage can solve the problem, we should stop at least speeding towards the cliff, and try to break as much as possible.

You are forgetting just how much bigger the planet is then us.
I'm skeptical, how do you separate the hot and cold reservoir in such a system? Afaik peltier elements have bad efficiency cause of this. With liquid/gas you can easily have split systems, giving these heat pumps much higher efficiency.
Interesting comparison with the webbrowser stack! In that sense CDK (generate cloudformation) is more like PHP (generate HTML). I wonder when "Virtual DOM"s, AJAX and CSS preprocessors get introduced to IaC.
It's important to note that a browser that implements something like this is simply not a User Agent, in the most clear way - it's just not there to serve the User, it's there to serve the website. When you consider this, it's clear that this goes against the core principals of the WWW, making this an Anti-WWW feature, or better put, a regression.

Hopefully this will not be implemented, but still it's a good wake up call for those who still think that Chrome is more than an ads-delivery app with some browser functionality.

In rural Poland it's a common seasonal activity to gather them in forests in July, you get whole family go to the forest for a few hours and gather enough to make 1 or 2 meals for the whole family (some people freeze them but it's not the same). Pierogi with "forest blueberries" is the quintessential summer food.

Some people make a business out of it, gather them whole day and sell them. But I've never seen them in malls, just in street markets and people selling them along the roads in season. I think they don't keep long enough for markets - you have to eat them by the day after the gathering.

We also have the "american blueberries", they are farmed industrially, and some people have them in their gardens (my grandparents for example). They are nice, but nowhere close to the real thing.

There's also 2 different species of wild forest berries, but I'm not sure how they are officially called in English (my grandmother called them "borówki" and "łochinie", but even in Poland it's regional names, most people don't know what a "łochinia" is :) ).
Wait, do mortgages in the USA get cheaper with lower rates? In Europe it appears that they’re always the maximum the people will be willing to pay. The only effects of negative base rates was house prices launching into the stratosphere. The cheapest place on the market in my suburb is 1.75 million USD for a two bedrooms condo (80m^2 = 861ft^2) with one parking spot.
We all know how this will be used in the next firing round.
