A lot of people would be better off it they just took a $100 a month and put it under their mattress, i.e. throwing money into a pit. There are obviously many better ideas than that.

Thank for for that paper, I'll give it a read.

The next line in Seyhun's paper is more interesting to me and the focus of my research and strategy:

> If the 10 worst days are eliminated, the annual return jumps to 14.06%, and the cumulative return increases to $44.80. With the 90 worst days out, the annual return rises to 21.72% and the cumulative gain to $325.40.

I believe this paper describes a strategy that accomplishes that goal relatively well: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4346906
It is true that Israeli newspapers - and non-Israeli ones - discuss it at length, and it is also true that the current crisis is a successor and the consequence of many historical developments and controversies, taking root before the state has been even established. This is exactly why one familiar with the history and the background of the question learns to take claims like “death of Israeli democracy” with a big dose of skepticism. It is true that some changes are happening, and it is true many aren't happy with them, but it's very far from the claims like the one that started this thread.
It's your prerogative. Nobody said anything about "exfiltrating." Showing someone X doesn't mean that X isn't owned by its owner anymore. These aren't semantic arguments.

You're going to have a hard time expressing what exactly is the violation when everyone has signed the same NDAs and CIIAs! Like if you work for Google, and I work for Google, you can fathom, well I can look at code you've written for Google.

Okay, now if I only "work" for Google, which like 200,000 people do, and they've signed the same exact agreements as you... It's your prerogative!

> criminally or civilly

It's your prerogative! You can leetcode instead!

I am not saying this is you. But there are many developers, arguably the majority, who complain tirelessly about the status quo of interviewing. And given one opportunity after another to change that status quo - doing the stuff Simon says, doing the stuff I am saying - they make no effort! They vamp about how it's impossible.

They think their social local mobile trip planning startup website code is sensitive. They think their 15 layers of Dagger dependency injections is sensitive. It's not. If you want to change the status quo from leetcoding, you're going to have to screen share a "diff" here or there, and show people concretely what the hell you've been doing for a year at BigCo or UnicornCo. I cannot predict the future and I cannot generalize, but in my experience, the likelihood of criminal, civil or even the far more realistic reputational and cultural repurcussion is extremely small.

All I am saying is, the reason this hasn't happened yet is because most people spend a year at BigCo and UnicornCo doing nothing of any substance. I mean maybe that's going to change. But it's really tough, nobody is being honest with how truly tremendously mismanaged and ZIRP-fueled large employers are. It hasn't been this way forever, but it has for at least 10 years, and it means some crazy things have happened in the job market that made no sense.
> Thousands and thousands of people have experienced extraordinary things over decades and multiple continents.

And there are very reasonable reasons for why they think they experienced that. Just go back a hundred years and read what many people believed in back then. Most of which are trivially false (from our perspective).

Heck, religion is still a thing today. More religions than can fit together so if nothing else we know most of them are wrong.

Lifetime thing is a rather large statement, especially with software though isn't it?
Most of the pre-subscription model compares were never lifetime purchases.
Software that needed paid purchase update every 3-5 years to get OS support / features.
No software I used in 1995 will run on my current computers. Even 2005 or 2010 is dubious in some cases.

Content constantly changed delivery mechanisms and people had to buy new media/devices every 5-10 years
VHS/Betamax -> Laserdisc -> DVD -> Bluray / HD-DVD -> Bluray 4K
Vinyl -> 8 track -> Cassette -> CD

For many things there are cheap/free alternatives or you can opt for the fixed cost up front version.

Paper books/eBooks/CDs/DVDs/MP3s can still be purchased outright.
Streaming services have ad supported free tiers.
You can go to the library, turn on the radio or tune into over the air TV signal.
You can buy an old version of photoshop/lightroom put it on an old computer, and don't expect updates.
Etc.

> It's also progress that this subject is being treated with the seriousness it so richly deserves.

The X-Files and Ancient Aliens have a lot to answer for.

> ...we are in possession of craft not built by humans.

Aren't KUKA robots awesome?! More seriously - are the aliens only visiting US territories, or is the "cover-up" a global effort that includes coordination between rival nations.
I don't know if this is the same wave, but a few years ago they declassified footage from military planes actively tracking UFOs. In the wake of that there was a bit of a flurry of naval and air force personnel saying they've "seen things." The UFO community - of which I am not a part - seems to have been veritably foaming at the mouth ever since.

Personally I'm always more interested in the conspiracy behind the conspiracy. It is undeniably more likely that the Pentagon has, for some reason, started quietly pushing out things in this vein than it is that actual aliens are flying around. I'm very curious as to what their motivation might be.

There's a lot of evidence, for instance, that during the heyday of Area 51 they knew they had to get out in front of civilian sightings of odd aircraft, and that project bluebook was essentially them just cross referencing sightings with classified test flights. So I'm curious about what they might be trying to get ahead of here.
We're running out of chords. They've all been mined. We can't make new ones.
There are several instances of left wing folks being banned, he stated that "cis" will be disallowed on the platform, he's removed tweets at the behest of governments like the Saudis, and this post is literally about text disappearing, lol.

Muni (the bus, streetcar, and lightrail system) is great for getting around the city. Some routes are crowded and occasionally get some unpleasant people, but most of them are chill. Especially if you just avoid the commute hours. Tickets are valid for like 2-3 hours, no need to buy a ticket every time you get on. The 1 route is very fun, takes you through Chinatown and the hills. The 28 takes you from Fisherman's Wharf to the Golden Gate Bridge to Golden Gate Park.

Our ballpark is beautiful, catch a game there on a sunny day even if you don't care about baseball. Just go on a ticket site or the ticket window right before the game and you should be able to get in cheap.

Put up a "couch wanted" post on Craigslist. It's still active here.

Our meetup scene is still very active. Most events are free and sometimes even have free beer and pizza. I for sure have seen a few AI groups.

The only neighborhoods where you should prepare yourself for SF looking like a dystopia is dead-center of the city, ironically right next to City Hall. You can visualize SF like an apple with a rotten core. No offense to the people living there, it's just a fact that it looks rough. All the neighborhoods on the outside are chill and pretty. It's only a small part of the core (Tenderloin, and the northern edge of SoMA near Tenderoin) where things look super rough. Even there, you'll be fine. I lived at Hyde & Ellis for a year. Treat people with respect and you'll be treated with respect.

Beware The Great Wall Of Fog in the west. You'll be at the Ferry Building and it's beautiful and sunny. And then you head to the ocean and you are practically swimming in fog.

You've got to ride a cable car once. Just pay the $8 and do it. Get on near the Ferry Building, then get off at the Fairmont and grab a beer at The Top Of The Mark (on a sunny day).

> The panels in Arnhem were not placed on roof tiles, but directly on the roof. The roofs of the entire block of houses are connected by solar panels.

This is not how normal solar panels are placed on roofs. In CA, for example, there are offset requirements where they have to be a certain distance from the edge of the roof, and on top of roof tiles/shingles. The only exception is uninhabited buildings, like a detached garage.

Sounds like Norway needs to adjust its safety regulations.

I mean insofar as "market goes up over time", that's been pretty much a guarantee, at least on a large enough timeframe, since what, the 1930s? I wouldn't call that TA though, that's basic observation of a trend over time. TA purports to read the market's "mood" and predict its behavior via a bunch of mathematical indicators, which are about as useful and scientific as pickup artistry.
20 or 30 years ago, there were pay phones everywhere. I might not have carried a phone in middle school, but I did carry quarters that I could use to call my parents if anything ever went seriously sideways.

In North America drunk driving is a huge problem. You can't get anywhere without driving a car so if you're drinking and not in your house you have to drive home.

Social pressure/not yet fully formed brain etc. leads to ppl under 21 being more likely to drive drunk. That's the rationale for not being able to drink until 21.

> But maybe people are ok with that.

Definitely true for many. Elon Musk is enemy number one since he disrupted social media. It is getting to the point that I have coworkers posting snide off-topic comments on internal chat throughout the day whenever he does something. All of his achievements are ascribed to luck, and every Twitter change is bad and attributed to his personal meddling. It's not entirely unwarranted considering there is some precedent, but the public hysteria is disproportionate for sure.
The experience of Napster, Limewire and Kazaa was pretty bad at the time. Plenty of songs were low quality, mislabeled, skipping, incomplete, or radio recordings with announcers talking over them, which was especially frustrating when it'd take 5 minutes to download a single song.

I was a teenager limited to summer job money, but I was happy to buy music on the iTunes store when it launched. I bought CDs as well, but my primary motivation for piracy was that record stores had a limited selection and often exorbitant prices (because the industry was engaged in price fixing^), and the record labels seemed to care more about stopping online music consumption and forcing people to buy CDs than actually providing a worthwhile paid service–their official channels were godawful, see PressPlay.

> self ignition for ICE engines is way higher than that of electric cars for some reason

They have flammable lubricants spread everywhere on the same environment as high-current electric circuits, high-powered attrition-based devices and a bare hot fuel burning engine. It's a wonder that fires are as rare as they are. (I mean, I must have seen some 5 ICE cars catching fire. Compared to how many I've seen in total, that's an incredibly low ratio; it's a scheduled aviation level of safety.)

I do expect electric cars to catch fire much less often, but that's because they are naturally not prone to it. But yes, if the decision was up to me, I would want to have some real numbers, and I don't think anybody has them yet, so expect things to be random.
>In country of 10 million people, we only have two tanks, that can deal with electric car fire.

so.... build more?

if there are too few fire extinguishers in a building do you scrap the building or do you commission more?
That's not at all what your top comment was getting at and you know it.
Absolutely, UI/component design could be a great fit! It tends to be more technical and less reliant on extensive communication or team interactions compared to UX design. Your designer friend's input will be valuable, and I look forward to hearing the results via email. Thanks for exploring the possibilities!

Yep!!

Another fun fact: the most common CPU in use today is the Z80 (or at least it was a couple of years ago, I haven't checked since). 6502s are not rare. In both cases, they may go by different part numbers these days, of course.

Where I work, I'm currently working on a system that uses 6 Z80s.

> Goll’s team used a land surface model to the simulate the effects of applying 5 kg/m2 of basalt dust over a vegetated area of 55 million square kilometres (about one third of the land on Earth). They found it has the potential to remove 2.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, where roughly half was stored in the biomass.

Am I misunderstanding something?

We emitted 37 billion tons in 2021.

This solution would offset 2.5 billion tons (~7%) of our annual emissions. And to do that we would need to put 5KG of basalt per square meter on 1/3 of all land available on earth. Isn't it completely crazy and unrealistic?
I don't think there's a correlation between writing a blog and being a good developer.

I think there's a small correlation between "having a tiny bit of evidence online that you're capable of solving problems" and "getting invited to an in-person interview" - at least given my own experience at the companies that I've worked at (and hired for).

That said, I do think there's a strong correlation between being good at written communication and being a great senior / staff-level engineer.

Beyond bugs, scaling your MVP to 1B users will mean expanding your userbase beyond English speaking Americans. This requires upgrades to internationalization, accessibility, possibly compliance with international laws and 3rd party licensing changes per region. Multilingual support staff and international payments processing. With a userbase this large, expect to be sued by people around the world, so you'll need region-specific legal services. Some of these issues just require money and non-technical staff and don't directly impact the user experience aside from diverting resources away from building features and fixing bugs for your original userbase.
Fully agree with this. I have used GKE at scale as an example. It starts to break down significantly once your cluster reaches a couple hundred nodes. Only way to solve it is to have support resize your controller nodes manually. And as support for anything google is horrible, that task takes multiple hours.

Come on, be serious. Civilian ferries don't carry dedicated firefighters. The crew receive some cursory training in basic firefighting every once in a while. They depend mainly on fixed firefighting systems that dispense CO2, suppressants, or water.

It's impossible to operate a forklift on the tightly packed cargo deck of a ferry, especially while the space is filled with toxic smoke. Nor is there room onboard for a fire resistant container.
