Replying here, but also to the other response:
I don't really have a formula (and if I did, I best be trying to sell it!) but for my case, it came down to letting friends and colleagues know that I'm open for work, and settling in to work on an interruptable bootstrapping project. The bootstrapped work has never come to fruition though it has been useful and may still become viable IP. But by word of mouth I came into working for a MedTech organization that needed a sizeable data normalization and analysis pipeline built. This could have been full time W2 work, but by that point (and after more than one burn-out) I had made up my mind that I was more of an 'outside cat' engineer that comes and goes as they please, and I asserted that I would work on a 1099 basis. This may or may not have been wise, but it did set the groundwork for being independent. It also introduces a subtle but impactful change in one's relationship to the organization that they are working for.

Case in point, about a year into the MedTech work, I was contacted by someone I knew at a large local cyber-charter school who was looking to build out a SWE team (as leverage with the other contractors they were working with). If I were a full time employee, the answer would have been 'Sorry, I'm busy'. But, as a 1099 worker with no set hours, I was happy to help them do interviewing to build out a core team. This lead to a long term advisory relationship with them, firefighting when things exploded, and also building a ton of automation and data governance back office utilities.

There have been some other tasks too, but if I had to boil it down to a few pithy points it would be to: play HARD to your strengths and be flexible.. But also don't be afraid to turn down work if you don't think you can hit it out of the park. Let everyone know that you're open for business too. A lot of organizations would be happy to have a problem solved without having the overhead of onboarding an employee.

This is predicated on you cultivating the level of experience and autonomy needed to get things done without oversight, or, in-fact, providing oversight of others trying to do 'the thing'.

My current challenge is in trying to move away from hourly billing and on to project-scoped contracts. Eventually I would like to build productized services and IP that make money while I'm asleep.. but who doesn't?

I agree that it could certainly be both.

However, most professional boards are created with an explicit mandate to promote efficacy and competency, which makes a hypothesis like "benefits of (DEI) > benefits of (efficacy && competency)" rather troublesome for a professional board to rally around. Even if true, it seems out of scope.

The "more DEI = more efficiency && competency" hypothesis seem like it should be where a professional board should focus its efforts and messaging instead.

Somebody told him a 100-mile-square array, i.e. 10,000 square miles, would suffice. Of course you build much smaller farms close to where the power is needed, instead.

And, of course, solar farms are being built today. We should build them faster.

Look at the wikipedia page:

> Gambling (also known as betting or gaming) is the wagering of something of value ("the stakes") on a random event with the intent of winning something else of value, where instances of strategy are discounted. Gambling thus requires three elements to be present: consideration (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize.[1] The outcome of the wager is often immediate, such as a single roll of dice, a spin of a roulette wheel, or a horse crossing the finish line, but longer time frames are also common, allowing wagers on the outcome of a future sports contest or even an entire sports season.

CS cases ticks all of the boxes. I'm really curious what your definition of gambling is.
I wonder if HN gets paid by companies recruiting, they might even manage to make a small profit if so. I think the "high density" of users is in favor of HN doing well - low server requirements and an average high median income per user (if HN ever need crowdfunding, that is.)
I learned programming on QBASIC in the 90's, aged 11 or so. My brother and I had dabbled with GW-BASIC, which a more knowledgeable friend used to draw cool-looking rainbows and whatnot on the screen. That same friend taught me the "IF... THEN..." construct and a new world opened up to me. QBASIC's built-in help manual was a key resource in getting up-to-speed.
> The fate of our world may depend ...

Two observations here:

1) "our world" is an illusion, no matter who utters these words. The "world" does not "belong" to any specific target demographic. On the contrary, it always belongs to *everyone else* that is *not* you.

2) using the term "world" at all. This is about finding sanctuary for some kind of ideology shared by a select group of individuals, which is the main trait of *a cult*. A cult is not the world, rather; a cult finds a minor physical or virtual space in which it can go about minding it's business(es) without interfering more than necessary with the surrounding *world*.

TL;DR: "You" != "World" (for all cases of "You")

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Tumblr allowing adult content would probably get it removed from app stores. Only a few major apps get away with it, and when they're gone, they're gone.

Observation tells us it's a lost cause to teach people about privacy/security of this type and have the large majority of people observe prudent ways of preventing their data from leaking. We've known about this since before the internet when people would chuck old documents in the garbage under the assumption no one would ever bother to go through their trash digging for information. But, we've learned from police, private investigators and espionage accounts that huge amounts of data can be extracted from trash simply because people aren't careful.

We also know there's always been a small percentage of people who have been careful, they're the ones who never throw out old accounts, letters, envelopes or even notes with phone numbers on them into the trash but they're so small in numbers that those who are scrounging for information know that the majority of their pickings will be successful.

The only effective way around this is to build systems that automatically obfuscate data from anyone but their owner. As we know, this is easier said than done.

I’m with you on renting instead of buying. I owned a home until a divorce. It wasn’t for me. I had to develop a whole network of unreliable contractors, which was time-consuming and the repairs and repairs to fix bad repairs all added up. Then our property taxes doubled in a year, raising a mortgage quite a bit and would continue to rise. I didn’t want to stay there for 30 years and while it did go up in value, there really wasn’t much of a guarantee that owning it would lead to actually owning a house out right in the future. Seemed to me like I was renting from the bank instead of owning but responsible for all the costs of ownership. For me now the flexibility of renting is priceless. I can move around and not feel tied down by someone else’s dream.
It doesn't sound like a big difference but 40fps is actually about halfway between 30fps and 60fps in response times. Because 30fps is 1 frame every 33ms, 60fps is 16ms. 40 fps gives you 25ms.
> MindGeek should buy Tumblr and allow adult content again.

MindGeek isn't interested in new investments allowing independent content creation.

MindGeek has been the target of active - and successful - campaigns from anti-pornography groups with explicit religious motivation (Exodus Cry, Morality in Media, etc., mostly funded by right-wing evangelicals). Those groups are the reason that Xtube shut down in 2021, and that Pornhub removed all independent content a couple of months later.

Those same groups are also behind the new "age verification" laws in a number of states, which are the reason that accessing many big-name tube websites (both from MindGeek and other properties) now requires uploading your drivers' license along with biometric face scans, even when viewed from states which don't have such laws on the books.

There's been a war on pornography on the Internet for the last several years, and the anti-pornography groups have won nearly every battle, in part because the only opposition has come from sex workers, who have very little lobbying influence. For some reason, most digital rights or general First Amendment advocacy groups have paid very little attention.

If you wrote on HN in 2017 suggesting the possibility of a total ban on pornography on the Internet within a few years, you'd have been dismissed outright. But we're actually pretty close to a de facto ban on pornography on the Internet. Very few websites still allow independent creators to upload pornography. Most of the ones that were around in 2017 either are dead, no longer allow pornography (Tumblr, Imgur), heavily restrict its visibility (Reddit), or only allow it from "verified creators", which limits it to commercial production (Pornhub).

Even self-hosting is going to become harder, as these groups are shifting their focus towards pressuring payment platforms and hosting providers to drop customers who produce sexual content.

Will pornography be literally banned on the Internet in a few years? Probably not. But will it be extremely difficult to either find or post sexual imagery or nudity within that timeframe? Probably - and so far, the anti-porn activists have actually been operating ahead of their own schedule.

Yeah, "only theoretical knowledge" is exactly how I would describe this guy. He was complaining later that the unions had intimidated him, that they were a gang, and they were economic terrorists besides. I was there for the whole interaction, the only reason he felt intimidated was because he was a spineless coward trying to argue with people who knew what was going on while he knew nothing. He felt bad because he was dumb and in charge and he blamed that feeling on those under him.
Their problem is also that "all time peak revenue" is not enough to cover even just the server costs, let alone salaries. They're bleeding 30 million USD per year with no path to profitability ever.

Not unlike how the GDPR resulted in banners everywhere, because the law stops short of banning contracting, companies have, of course, sought the optimal just-up-to-the-edge balance.

The biggest two reasons it matters (i.e. two biggest disincentives from just hiring contractors) are healthcare and quarterly reports. Healthcare provision is very expensive, even amortized across the employees in a company, and TVCs get no healthcare from the client company. And the client company can grow and shrink TVC contracts all day long without having to tell shareholders they went through a mass hiring cycle or a layoff cycle.

Also law school is ridiculous. My sister is studying to be a lawyer but may not be able to attend despite passing the initial test (the name I forget.) basically she needs a couple of existing lawyers recommendation, but we’re from a small town and she only knows one. Also the work requirements are ridiculous, she’s not allowed to work for a law office at all while attending a law school which seems so backwards compared to most schools where they actively encourage getting a job working in the field. So she’ll have to quit her current law secretary job if she wants to go to law school.
Worse, you've got a Hobson's choice when it comes to using many of these systems. If you decline to get your data hoovered up, you simply can't participate at all. In this way, the car's contact-download is pretty benign, you can still make phone calls even if you decline the contacts.

But it's worse pretty much everywhere else. A few years ago, my data was in a breach of a health-care company I'd never heard of and never dealt directly with, they were some sort of back-end broker several layers away from us patients. Recently I went to sign up for new insurance, and I asked for a list of all companies that might handle my data, and copies of their most recent cybersecurity audit. Of course I didn't get a useful reply, and as a 'customer', I have no useful levers to pull. I have no useful information to use when selecting an insurer. And I have no recourse unless someone starts siphoning money out of my account AND I notice and can prove that it happened because of a breach.

"Never engage with anyone" equates directly to "Go be a hermit in the mountains". If that's where our privacy laws have gotten us, I think we're doing something wrong.
> When you pay it off, you're not spending $thousands per month just for a place to live.

Not everyone wants to live somewhere long enough to pay off a place though. It’s no different than other financial choices. The best decision for the individual isn’t always the most rational.
I'm a mostly fake contractor. I miss the good old days when I could fake contractor directly to companies. Now I have to go through a middle-man that takes a cut. I still make triple what I was making before, but it bothers me that the middle man is likely taking 30-50% off the top.

SMR never made any financial sense. They are far inferior to large-scale PWRs in almost all regards.

The SMRs' _only_ advantage was the relative ease of construction. Only a handful of companies in the _world_ can construct reactor vessels for large-scale PWRs, and none of these companies are in the US. SMRs can be constructed domestically.

Can't edit anymore, but for reference for those who probably downvote out of misunderstanding.

Light water moderated reactors aren't a pathway to making nuclear weapons, because they require that you have the ability to enrich uranium separately just to start.

I.e. a light-water moderated reactor is dependant either on capability to enrich fuel and/or use unenriched fuel (for enrichment or plutonium production) - which are core capabilities for making fission weapons.

This is why they have been favoured on non-proliferation (and often "control") grounds - they are dependant on fuel from groups that do have fission weapon production pipeline or at least parts of it.

To work from natural uranium, without artificial enrichment, you need to use either heavy-water moderation or graphite moderation, or more exotic designs - but then you can both use unenriched uranium to produce power as well as produce plutonium or other useful things, and a distillation pipeline provides for both light-water reactor fuel and weapon fissile material.

Details of how subsidies went are way more complex, and both renewables and nuclear and fossil fuels had areas heavily subsidized.
