There are definitely various exceptions. E.g., high frequency trading was the result of a technology arms race that was quite ahead of its time. (Maybe one day adtech will be also limited by the speed of light [1] :-) Also proprietary trading was quick to link to social media and mine "sentiment".

But in core financial services (payments, savings and loans), covered by buzzwords like "fintech" or neobanks there has not been much qualitative change. See also the failure of much hyped "innovation" in the form of the various blockchain projects (which pressumably will now be followed by various "AI" projects). Trying to belatedly join the latest hype instigated by others is precisely the behavior of a sector that does not understand and own its information technology.

I couldn't care less about fraud. I would put up with it if it meant real change in the rotten status quo. What happened instead is just banks all over again and it emboldened governments to rob us of even more autonomy by pushing their centralized digital currencies. In many ways we are worse off than before and I don't mean scam coins or the negligible energy consumption of proof of work.
Ask HN: How are you dealing with the current bear market?
I am a software engineer with about 4-5 years of experience just finishing up my master's degree in CS. I am not in any sort of rush to acquire a job (I'm currently freelancing), but I did recently polish up my CV and various job profiles to try and get a feel for the job market out there.

After applying around the response was... tepid. Very tepid.

I generally present well and like to think that my CV is relatively strong (No FAANG, but not a junior, have led projects etc.), which leads me to believe the market is weaker than it used to be.

So HN, how are you planning on surviving the bear market? Are you staying put at your current job? What about changing the focus of your stack? Lowering your rates as a freelancer and cutting costs?

I've considered leaning in a bit more on C++ as I expect expertise in this area could be harder to find and thus more valuable than the typical Typescript/Node full-stack dev.

It would be great to get some advice from some of the older crowd who worked through the 2001 bubble burst or even 2008.

Cheers
Sounds like you want some kind of logging system? I do it by sending weekly status reports addressed to myself. "Hello bjourne, this week you cut the runtime of the simulator in half using pthreads. You also worked on the deployment server, but was stuck cause it lacked some packages and you didn't have root privileges. ..."
Holy Roman Emperors also pile on the royal titles. King of the Germans, king of Italy, on top of their regular titles. Charles V was king of Germany, Italy, Spain, Lord of the Netherlands, Duke of Burgundy. When he passed half of his titles to his brother Ferdinand, he was also king of Bohemia, Hungary and Croatia.

And yet somehow there's supposed to be only one real king in the Empire (Bohemia).

AHK is tricky enough, but I have a hard time finding available key sequences. For example, is there some way to search your system to see if anything is hooking ctrl-7?

Alternatively, do you have a favorite key sequence pattern that usually works? The linked scripts seem to use stuff like “;.” which is pretty clever. Semicolon isn’t usually followed by anything except space.

Hmm, maybe it will be fun to go through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_billionaires_b...

- Dyson: actually an innovator! Made many of the same criticisms of the UK lack of tech strategy. Promoted Brexit, which has made the situation worse by erecting barriers to a key UK market.

- Ratcliffe: owns INEOS: oil refineries. Old school engineering? Or just provision of capital?

- Hinduja: purchaser of Ashok Leyland, which became a huge success once unshackled from disastrous management of British Leyland. Counts as "engineering" but not "tech"?

- Grosvenor, 7th Duke of Westminster: classic aristo landlord. Owns large areas of London.

- Platt: hedge funds.

""The reality is that there is no willingness within the Eurozone to share wealth," he said. "In the United States, if California is having a really difficult time, the rest of the United States will send money to California.

- Coates: gambling. Counts as "tech startup" (bet365)

- Bamford: heir to JCB, the excavator company. "Engineering". Brexiter, as a result of being sued for antitrust by EU

- Branson: definitely self-made, across a large number of different companies. Space billionaire, closest figure to British Musk.

- Currie: also INEOS. Almost no wp bio.

- Reece: also INEOS. Almost no wp bio.

- Cadogan, 8th Earl Cadogan: aristo. Dead.

- Lewis: trader. Like Soros, profited from Black Wednesday. Under arrest in Manhattan.

- Calder: Jive records.

- Morris: Home Bargains. Wildly successful discount shopkeeper.

Your reasoning seems logical at first glance so I can understand why you would come to your conclusions.

History shows you to be wrong. It doesn't take a high IQ to use a machine to hugely increase your productivity. And in some cases the machine is easier to operate. I'll take a car over a horse any day.

Salaries for low skill jobs in the US are going up. UPS drivers now get paid close to $200k. The labor shortage is not just for highly skilled, high IQ people.

New technology has only ever resulted in people doing more productive work. That might change. No one can predict the future. But based on history we will continue to see quality of life improve thanks to productivity increases, and employment to stay high.

The one change I would like to see is workers organizing to capture more of the profit and productivity changes they help create. UPS drivers did it. More of that means we all share in the wealth of productivity increases.
The first point you’ve extracted is too narrowly focused. I’m not OP but I believe they were making a general point about increasing automation, not a specific point about driverless cars.

I agree with everything the OP has written. I had a similar revelation myself not long ago. I think that I’m one of the smart ones and that I’ll okay, I’ll thrive even. But what about stupid people? Stupid people deserve to have happy lives too.
Well then thank you for your honesty. Personally I do not find Hitler ultimately reaching his ends as a compelling argument in favor of consequentialism.

> They all possess the ability to hack Brazilian elections.

It's much easier to attack a democracy through disinfo campaigns and sponsoring coups. It was like that in the ousting of Dilma in 2016 (yesterday yet another court of law ruled she didn't commit an impeachable offense). Far-right ultra-nationalist propaganda has been used - with enormous success, I must add - to destabilize both countries like Brazil up to the whole EU (Brexit, anyone?).

In Brazil we are amidst a scandal that points to the president himself ordered higher highway patrol enforcement specifically in regions where the opposition candidate was expected to win more votes, in an attempt to limit participation in those specific demographics.

> What we try to do is to make hacking not worthwhile by raising the difficulty level.

I worked in the 2002 election (for Unisys, who made a lot of the voting machines) and the machine itself, its software, and all the handling protocols around it are designed to make hacking it a very high-effort/low-return affair. As I mentioned before, there are many ways to push an election they way of a candidate, but, in Brazil at least, none of those pass through the voting system.

> unlike votes by mail where you have identification (we simply can't have here, for instance)

We could, but it'd need two envelopes, one that identifies the voter, and a second, without voter identification, with the vote itself. A first election official would validate that the outer package contains a vote from someone who has a right to vote, and would pass the inner envelope to be opened and the vote counted by another person. With a process that includes randomly selected witnesses, it should be possible.

But, since all voters need to either vote or justify why they didn't/couldn't, the need for such systems is much diminished.

You are underestimating how much trains and public transportation can do. Public transportation is abyssimal in the US, so I get why you think that it may not solve many problems.

If you take a look at Switzerland which did public transportation right, you will see that even in low densities areas, it is very much possible to get around by public transport. The canton of Graubünden (area: 7105.44 km2, density: 28/km2) has more train lines and bus lines than the city of Atlanta (area: 353.04 km2, density: 771.3/km2). Switzerland has a lot of tiny villages, evenly spread around. We don't have crazy dense cities, and certainly not large cities.

While public transport does not solve every trip and every commute, it is a solution for a significant percentage of the population. You can get to remote areas for hiking, leisure, ... You can find bus lines that connect one village of 30 people to another village of 100 people. They may not be frequent (4x a day), but they allow for tourist to go hike to remote areas, visit nice places, ... Also, public transit is clean here and very safe.

For some numbers: a decent amount of people commute by public transport (up to 50% in certain areas), and an even larger percentage of people use public transport for leisure activities (>70%).

In an ideal world, you would have decent public transit inside cities and around, pedestrian friendly cities, bike sharing, and fery vew (robo)taxis in dense areas. This makes the cities confortable to live in (less noise and polution). Also, intercity transit is very important (by train, highspeed train or plane). Then, in rural areas you would have robotaxis that can get you anywhere you want. The remaining vehicles on the road should be work related vehicles.
Muni is actually fairly clean and safe, it just goes nowhere.

>He could be wrong about him preferred means being instrumental to creating a utopia (e.g. utopia could also be achieved with different means), but still manage to create a utopia using those means (e.g. he manages to steal land and resources and create a strong big country with a stable regime that lasts 1000 years, whose citizens eventually becomes very prosperous and happy, even if tens of millions were murdered).

I think you're being excessively nit-picky. Did Hitler think that utopia could only be reached through genocide (in which case had he succeeded he could still have been wrong), or was genocide just what he saw as the most straightforward path to that end?

>The first is about being effective. The latter needs a framework of justification, and that is usually morality/ethics. And that would be subjective (the victims, their friends and families, sympathizers to their cause, etc. would have another opinion).

Yeah, I agree, and I said as much. Even in the hypothetical utopia, whether it was justified will depend on who you ask.
The specific situation was trying to bike to a doctor's office late in the afternoon after being unable to go earlier due to non-24 sleep disorder and executive dysfunction and struggling to pack and get out of the door. After being slowed down beyond my plans by unpaved roads, traffic lights, and parking lots, I got turned away from the door when the office closed, and did not have a safe way to get back home, since the sun was setting, I was not prepared for the cold weather, and I could neither safely stay outdoors at night in an office park without food or shelter, nor safely bike home while crying, and did not have a ride arranged.

Growing up, my parents punished and traumatized me for not getting straight As in classes and cramming for extracurriculars, judged my worth based on academic performance and following their orders, fed me stories about how not getting into a top college would turn me into a burger-flipper, then forced me to the most difficult computer science program in the country, which together pushed me into burnout, dropping out, and a years-long CPTSD mental breakdown. They tried to force me to become their idea of a top student, ignoring the existential harm they caused.

Similarly, other people ignore the harm they cause (regardless if they want to hurt me or not) when they want me to put myself into unpleasant situations which have hurt me in the past for little gain (for example failing driving exams time and time again, the above-mentioned biking trip, rude and disrespectful doctors delaying care for an hour and then complaining when I asked questions and couldn't make decisions quickly enough, and psychiatrists who refuse care when I go nonverbal and want to communicate over text), and blame and accuse me of being "self-destructive" when I refuse to do as told.

> Avoiding the situation post-exposure unfortunately “un-does” much of the benefit of the exposure: it reinforces the neural pathways that make you feel a sense of danger in the first place.

It is perfectly rational for me to not harm myself further by seeking out situations which (promise benefits, cause substantial harm, and the benefits fail to materialize as expected), and for me to avoid people who pressure me to do so. If I find a route to doing things which benefits me more than it hurts, then I will start doing it.
> A lot of US funds have restrictions as to how much they can invest outside the US.

What quality of life? Most families need three or more jobs to cover basic needs of life like housing, healthcare, food and travel. Salaries are rising. The value of those salaries is dropping.

We are more interconnected and more surrounded by tech. This is not the same as higher quality of life. It means more tech. Which is the subject. Oh I can watch someone pretend to be NPC on the other side of the globe on a pocket box. Quality of life.

I think it’s telling people want a vacation away from tech and “modern life”. Why would they go for lower quality of life as a vacation?
It's a great idea for places like northern Canada where many technologies like solar don't work during a sunless winter. Wind is OK but it's complex to set up and maintain in such isolation. Diesel tends to be an easy solution but endless propane would be great if the regulator didn't freeze.

Propane also needs to be compressed from what I can see to about 200psi. Not a huge amount but it would take special equipment and power to run a pump.

The only real solution is to exclude politics from infrastructure. While I certainly have immediate negative impressions if I read their stated goals for several reasons, the current political situation would also never have allowed an open net to prosper.

Politics here isn't about constructive solutions and instead about influence. If they would include technical voices here, they would include people from large tech companies that have their own ambitions.

The tech community can only shape technical realities to curb most political influence. The old rules still apply, route around censorship, try to protect data and anonymous communication. I doubt any political influence would net a better net. On the contrary, it is often the source of the fractures we already see today.

I won't say we thought about everything (I worked on it in 2001-2002) but we thought a LOT about it and couldn't come up with one single idea that wouldn't fail in an obvious, easily detectable, manner.
