This has some information but if you use all of them, this leads to a lot less or no oppurtunity in real world. It's like opposite of open mindset and being optimistic. Definitly works for average mind? and those who don't want to crate long term wealth.
And 0 mention of index funds? sp 500 history and returns? For me that defines the limited view and limited information of the author (whoever he/she is)

Gold has very little returns against real inflation in last 10 years. ok this has some mindless advices too, funny
I'm sadly constrained by what my job will issue me to work on here. I used to have the 13", and was happy with it.

When I'm at home I do all my work on an external monitor anyway, so I don't think of the screen size as being super-relevant to my daily life. It comes up if I travel for work or work from a coffee shop, but my experience suggests that the smaller screen is fine there for me.
I'm only getting ads on embedded youtube videos thankfully.

Pretty sure you’re reading your own biases into this

Where did anyone mention climate-destroying proof-of-work? Last I checked, only Bitcoin uses that amount of energy — every other decentralized system does not.

Shitcoin is a term bitcoiners use for every other coin so your own diatribe is incoherent.

Most people on HN are techbros

Blockchains are not the most efficient distributed systems architecture. But if you think you can do better, please do it!

For instance, I am. I think we can do better than BlockChain. That’s why I designed InterCloud, and putting together a team to build it.

I care about open and free technologies. Dat/Hypercore. IPFS. Maidsafe/Safenet. Matrix. Nostr. Literally none of them fit anything you’re bitching about.

In every case, people like you prefer bitching while the frog is being boiled, and actively spreading FUD about any open, free, permissionless alternatives. You’d do better by doing nothing, getting out of the way and let innovation happen. You seem to have no solution.
This is true historically where you needed to pick an individual advisor who managed your portfolio based on their experience/etc. That’s not really how the major companies like fidelity run it anymore - an advisor gets their certification and then fully plays by the playbook and isn’t allowed to even have their own track record. So you’re not getting some guys advise, you’re getting a company’s extremely researched strategy they built for individuals who match your needs.

But really calling up any company and asking for a rep isn’t going to be great - I think being friends with someone who you trust as a friend first and then as someone who converts the playbook to your investments is best.
That's great, but do you think that's how the majority of people play video games? If all voice actors disappeared, people would just be "huh, oh well"?

There are other replies saying you were "scammed", but just examine your own statements to see how something had to give (in this case, the common stock valuation) for anything to make sense. That is, look at your statement (emphasis mine):

> Fast forward two years and they raise again…this time at a valuation of $170M. Naturally, I assumed my $500 was worth close to $1500 on paper.

If they raised again, it's completely nonsensical to think your stock would have tripled in value. The only way to assume that's even possible is if the company tripled in value without raising more money. After all, "raising" is just another word for selling part of the company to other, new shareholders. When you sell part of something, that means the existing shareholders own less (as a percentage) of it.

Yes, there are other bad tricks companies can play with different share classes and obscene preference rights for preferred shareholders (1x is pretty standard and totally fair in my opinion, anything more than that means to me that the company needed to raise under duress or has bad management).

In other words, the outcome you described seems perfectly reasonable just by the rules of math. It says to me that many people just don't understand that "raising money" means selling a part of your company.
People are going to do what they want to do. You can't use forceful policy to change it. At best it becomes ineffective, at worst you get unintended side effects that you only notice afterwards.

Your best bet is to take gaming and to change it subtly to produce a more useful result. Eg teach things through games. Just don't overdo it on the teaching part, because then it stops being a game.
Just wait. With time this will happen, sooner than later I'm sure.
Supposedly in Cornish, if you asked anyone where he lived, they'd all claim to have no idea.

May be not all. But certainly if those under SAG-AFTRA did certainly. I don't remember specific actor adding much to my experience ever. I don't even recognize their voices or names, so can't be bothered.
> I've seen a lot of people say the SPLC is a total sham

Hate groups have been saying it the whole time the SPLC has been around (and especially since it started tracking hate groups, but even when it was just doing pro-civik-rights legal work for 20 years before that) and the US has lots of hate groups.

Its become more current in the broader American Right as quiet-part-out-loud groups have moved from the margins since Trump became a leading figure.
Agreed - doing some learning is a huge huge step that the list of rules kind of gets at but doesn’t make crystal clear.
Did you actually look at the link I sent you? It's absolutely not low level. If you know how to use window.fetch, you know how to use AbortController already.

controller = new AbortController();
const signal = controller.signal;
fetch("http://example.com", { signal: signal })
// abort request
controller.abort();

It basically couldn't be simpler? What sort of API would you like to be able to cancel requests?

Can we not with the disinformation?

“Of the three possibilities — natural, accidental, or deliberate — the most scientific evidence yet identified supports natural emergence. More than half of the earliest Covid-19 cases were connected to the Huanan market, and epidemiologic mapping revealed that the concentration of cases was centered there.”

But prestige can't.
It's a term from literature/fiction, where later installments try to explain something from earlier installments; usually in a way that's nothing like the original intent. Applying this to real history is more like "revisionism".
I feel like we already have a battle-tested answer to that question - which is dual licensing. It worked great on software like Qt - just have an open source GPL(ish) licensed version for free as in speech users, and a proprietary do-whatever-you-want for cash money, so that developers can keep the lights on.

What needs to change is the open-source community's perception of this coexistence as something mutually beneficial as opposed to betraying their own principles.

This hostility manifests in two ways - one is the belief that not fully open software is somehow evil, and shouldn't be supported, and one should always use (often janky) alternatives that are fully open. The second is the constant churn without any thought given to API or ABI compatibility (never mind making the same binary run across versions, even source-level breakage is extremely common), leading to people wishing to ship commercial applications having to package half of the userland with them.

There's a case law which contradicts what you say:

- https://www.leagle.com/decision/1969761411f2d3501697 (about using Independent Volkswagen Porsche Service without permission from Volkswagen and Porsche)

P.S. May be I am misunderstanding something because I am not a lawyer, but these cases looks pretty straightforward to me.

It’s a free country, but I don’t think most people care about voice actors. Lots of people skip cutscenes and turn down the dialogue volume.
They might be, at least until they find another source of adrenochrome.
I think that games that don't use voice actors at all are just not relevant to the issue. Just like banking software is not relevant.

There are games that do require it, those are relevant.
Because the person making the call does have proof that the victim actually picked up the call. If they needed to they could show up in person and show the blackmailing material to someone else (wife, boss), and show them on their screen that the victim picked up the call, and prove it. That's surely worth something.
Have any lawsuits been filed yet?

I agree with everything you say.

But I want to try for 5-6 more years before embracing the duality that many live with comfortably- work for paying bills, health insurance, vacation, etc., and free time for things that they find truly interesting and their calling. (Most people don't have callings but just do partying, vacation, etc. in free time. No judgement from my side.)

But I know people on the other side, too- those who have embraced the duality. I had a teacher in HS who is a true scholar in cultural history and literature. He has books published from tier-1 publishers. Yet he teaches High School. It leaves him with a lot of free time and he conducts field-visits during vacations and Sundays. So people do it.

But before I give up hope, I will try my hardest. FAANG means a lot of money after 5-10 years, academia means freedom to think for my own and publish research. As the field is CS, it is pretty easy to turn an idea to a prototype and to a paper after 1-5/6 months of work. That really attracts me.
I'd say my work has gone in the hands of a few million people and made their lives (mostly) better, along with what all of my coworkers did.

But most importantly, I'm not out there telling people that they suck, they're bad programmers. I'm not the one out there telling people that GC bad, memory ownership bad but also you're stupid if you can't free() memory properly. I'm not the one out there rejecting decades of PL theory, calling academics "believers" and "wrong" [0], I'm not the one throwing shade at every other language, and when criticized on my language, fall back to "uuuuh I make Jai for myself you don't have to use it"

Anyways, if you want a real systems language that's available today and that actually works, Odin exists.

TVs long ago used to take up to 10 seconds to startup because the electron gun at the back of the CRT needed time to heat up. The advent of TFT panels gave us the hope that that wait would be a thing of the past. Now instead we wait minutes for its spyware, adware and bloatware ridden OS to boot up and phone home. We're living is a world that's the opposite of what technology promised us.
What Will Earth Look Like When These 6 Tipping Points Hit? [video]
Indeed it is doable, and I do SMD work all the time both by hand and with my reflow oven. I have done some BGAs with some success ( and some spectacular failures ). The reason for the interest in through-hole building is for use in 'build-it-yourself' projects for other vintage enthusiasts who don't have SMD skills.

I however should have been a bit more clear that I was referring not to an FPGA itself that is through-hole, but a PCB adapter to use a BGA FPGA in a through-hole application with high pin count. That distinction was not clear in my original comment.
There's a similar trend of accusing LLMs of not really understanding, being just pattern machines. Funny that a whole group of people get the same treatment.
Investing in gold now seems real not smart, same with that much cash.
Everyone tries to get cute with financial strategies and investments, chasing those huge returns. You would be hard pressed to consistently beat the returns of a market fund over the life of your portfolio.
A little story about domains.

Back in 2004, when Ubuntu came out, I bought Ubuntu.it (and later Kubuntu.it) to host my blog, which was about Linux and Ubuntu. The blog was in Italian, hence my interest for the .it TLD.

I used them for a couple of years or so, then was approached by some of the Italian Ubuntu community members, as they wanted to be able to use the domain.

I decided to donate both domains to Ubuntu, with a simple condition: at the bottom of the page I wanted a small phrase which would say "kindly donated by Ubuntista". The phrase stayed there for a few months, then disappeared. I decided not to complain, even though I still don't like the fact that they didn't stick to their promise.

p.s. I like Ubuntu, I met and am a fan of Mark Shuttleworth, and I advocated Ubuntu for several years, even when I was at AWS.
Yeah I don’t even change ip addresses.

Well, yes, the party can mandate a million things and the people workaround it, faking it. Once a bejing party official visits, all the lawns will be painted, all motorcycles confiscated, all prostitutes arrested, all street vendors ousted and all gamer dens closed. Once the official leaves, the world goes back to normal.

Tysm; this is good stuff for me to ruminate on. One of the challenges for me has been switching to this very empirical orientation (I’m far more used to a conceptual understanding driven mode). If & when you do get around to fleshing out your perspective, I think it would be quite invaluable :-)
Oh I had plenty of luck in my career, there are people who the entire team goes to when new/unknown/specific problems show up, and I happen to be one of them.

You obviously havent had your bank account frozen for no reason. I have!

Trying going without cash for 6 weeks, not knowing if transactions have gone through, direct debits have been paid etc etc. Going around in legal loopholes where the bank ombundsman wont talk to you until you have exhausted the banks complaints dept, but the banks complaints dept wont talk to you, so you get no where.

Its fucking legal intimidation and harassment and there is no legal recourse for it in the UK. Its why I have no bank accounts now.

The banks can and do freeze your accounts, just look at the sanctions done to Russians when the West decides to stoke a war!
Show HN: Extract an RSS feed from almost anything
Howdy! RSSfeedASAP scratches my own itch. I run a regional podcasting directory which gets dozens of messy submission for podcasts. Often they don't even include an xml file and me being a good samaritan I sometimes do the manual work and find it myself. I got tired of that manual work and decided to build a microapp.

RSSfeedASAP is this app and I decided to release it in case someone else finds any use in it.
This isn't a boiling frog situation, because people lack a sense of temperature for technical freedom.

The whole tech universe is opaque & unobservable. Free software exists, but a user using kde desktop isn't really that much more likely (beyond their higher likelihood to self selecting in & find out) to get good at computing over time.

There's been so few efforts to make computing visible, to make it real. HyperCard is still nearly the only famous example of a technical environment where you could "turn the object over" and see what it did. I adore open source, but its not enough. Live code environments, with strong modularization sandboxing and snapshotting are required baselines for users to exercise freedom. Making computing accessible - making it easy to see what's happening - and making it safe/fun to muck around in are the frontier past opening the source that we - the citizens of planet earth - need to begin to experience digital freedom.

We need a bolder way for the computing environment to be Augmenting (computer) Intellect. Freedom expands itself if folks can exercise it, and the barrier to really using your will is - even with open source - too high, too many barriers. Those positive cycles are missing today, so we don't notice a lack of freedom. The best base I know of today for this realization & the effort to open up computing to the rest of the world is https://malleable.systems .

Trust that they aren’t harming themselves or others. The Internet is an extremely powerful tool and all powerful tools are potentially dangerous.

They could hold gold. Similar risk profile, much more likely to hold value long term and be better to hand on to the kids if there is some left over.

I'm not saying cash is so terrible that a nervous, confused and delicate grandma can't just eat the losses for security. I mean, sure. If you think you're probably going to lose money anyway then <10% a year is better than >10%!

But a 25% allocation by default is just giving money to wealthy men wearing suits. They already own suits, they don't need it. Keep the wealth. Donate it towards lobbying for Georgism instead of new wars, maybe, if you feel like burning a few % on a cause.

Being a 10x engineer can come from either:

Calling it "incredibly editorialized" is generous.

The headline is just flat-out 100% completely false.
One compromise is to hold the cash in US TIPs, i.e. inflation indexed bonds. There's a limit of how much you can buy each year and the interface is quite clunky, but these bonds should protect against inflation.

(Note: inflation as measured by the US government. Many feel that the equations understate the real inflation.)
This misses a wider context of increasing freedom:

Prehistory: We lived is small groups. No privacy. About 1/3 or males die by being killed by their own species. Say something against the alphas and risk death.

1600s. trials for heresy etc. Brits sail for the new world to get free speech and freedom of religion. Their colonies do ok.

1960s computers coming but things still pretty locked down in much of the world, secret police, much of the world like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lives_of_Others

2020s mobile computing everywhere. Free exchange of information largely possible everywhere even if you have to use VPNs in China, Russia etc.

2030s - optimistically totalitarianism crumbles a bit more (https://ourworldindata.org/democracy) especially if Russia collapses some after it's recent adventure - it's been one of the strongest forces on the Big Brother side of things.

So even if our devices get a bit locked down against malware I think the trend's positive. Our instincts evolved in the prehistory stage and so are perhaps a bit out of adjustment for the present day.
I wonder if a lot of the money issues could be fixed by the union implementing a better distribution of income. Seems like inequality in Hollywood is even worse than other industries.
Where I've ended up is keeping some money aside to scratch whatever (mostly pretty conservative) investing itch I have and leaving the rest to a financial advisor. He's done stuff for my family for years and my feeling is that especially if I'm not going to actively manage my full portfolio, I'm better off with someone else doing it than just throwing the money into some index funds and calling it a day. (Though there have certainly been periods where that's probably been the right strategy.)

This reads like you’re taking their post in bad faith or otherwise didn’t read all of it. They go on to mention:

> ... you should be thanking [Zuckerberg’s] open source sympathies as he is literally having his company give away open source LLaMa and other AI which his company spends a ton of money training. Without someone stepping up and doing this, the AI [would] belong to only a select few ...

You’re right that such sympathies weren’t exactly “killed” (instead “discouraged”) by advisors but pressing this mistake in phrasing is certainly a bit of a straw man argument.

Either ask very politely for years, or be in denial like half the Jai community that writes Jai but is never able to compile it.

Yes, there is a whole Jai community wiki made from half cobbled together knowledge (https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki), and a super secret discord made for the super elite, non-compiler-having plebs are banned.
And this "more problems" is called "the future" and if you don't embrace it you are "so far behind on adoption of financial technology"...
I was not suggesting that an FPGA manufacturer would ever make a part like this. I was suggesting it would be interesting to build an adapter PCB that takes a BGA part and combines it with level shifters and provides a 'through-hole' usable 'package' that could be used in some vintage applications.

The concept of using this in a more vintage hobbyist 'build-it-yourself' context is unique and not something I would expect widespread use, thus the concept that this would be an interesting project for some small group of people.

For example there have been many projects using the TinyFPGA boards in a manner that is similar to this use case, although with a lower pin count given the DIP sytle layout.

It was my mistake to not make that clear, especially when I mentioned the QFP package, and then implied a through-hole solution. I should have said a through-hole PCB based solution. Sorry!
