> If lawyers and doctors earned what they earned in the 40s, i am sure student loan debt crisis would miraculously go away.

What's the expression... "the plural of anecdote is not data"?

It's important to keep in mind a few things... First of all, the point about $42,000 in inflation-adjusted dollars was that he was not doing well. Secondly, "inflation-adjusted" is not "cost of living adjusted" for where he was living. Pasadena was comparatively sparsely populated with a low cost of living back then, as opposed to the densely populated, high cost of living area it is now. Accordingly, he was not making anything resembling the median income of lawyers back then: https://fraser.stlouisfed.org/files/docs/publications/SCB/pa...

Adjusted for inflation, the average legal salary from 1949 would be $104,108.17. The average pay for a lawyer in California in 2023 is... $90,028/yr. So yeah, accounting for inflation, lawyers have been earning comparatively less over time... and yet the cost of law school has been consistently growing faster than inflation.

Beyond that, lawyers and doctors are a special class of white collar worker where scarcity is artificially inflated by trade boards. They aren't representative of the majority of people with massive, unmanageable student debts. As an example, median income for an accountant in California (I can't think of a more stereotypical white collar job) is... $49,479.

I also wouldn't presume that the dividing line between blue & white collar workers is a college education. About ~12% of people with college degrees work in blue collar jobs (and the numbers are way higher for college drop outs).

>the covid shot that saved your life was supported by investments

First: Pablo Escobar financed an hospital, doesn't mean he's a good person and drug dealing is a good thing

Second: I bet they met a lot a money from the vaccine, somebody has to pay for these profits, means this somebody lacks the money elsewhere. Not all went the way of AstraZeneca and renounced profit but AstraZeneca only had a vaccine because the BMG foundation convinced Oxford to sell their vaccine instead of giving it away for free as initially planned.

Third: Corona was an equalizer. Unlike climate change Corona also hit the rich and many of them are in the especially endangered age range and Corona hit them now and not in 10, 20, 30 years like climate change.
So the invest was also to save their lives.

Fourth: how many investments are done in things that harm humanity, for instance who is funding all those climate change denial think tanks.

> Pretending people are being “forced from their homes” in exchange for literally millions of dollars is and absurd framing of a huge windfall.

There's no need to put “forced from their homes” in scare quotes, that is literally what happens when property taxes are allowed rise uncontrollably.

Not everything in the world is a financial transaction. It is wrong to look at homes as a share of investment to be sold to the highest bidder. The people who bought homes very cheap who are now worth a lot are necessarily very old (because it takes a long time). These people may have been poor when they bought it because it was a cheap house in an undesirable area back then. They may have had low-income jobs all their lives so they are still poor in terms of income.

It is not by any stretch a windfall for people in their 80s/90s to be forced to sell the home of a lifetime and have to move to some faraway cheap city.

Arguments against Prop 13 are in the end about classism. The idea is that as soon as an area becomes wealthy, poor people need to be removed (through rising property taxes) and sent off to live in some cheap area, so that more rich people can take their place. This does not sound fair. Rich people already have all the benefits, so Prop 13 provides a small counterbalance by allowing lower income people to stay in their lifelong homes even as the area gentrifies.
right, in that regard inflation has been reduced very close to target levels
Yep, I was put on PIP with impossible success criteria (no issues raised in PRs by senior engineers and no issues in code deployed to production - even if it was reviewed by senior engineers & QA) and fired (for failing that criteria) in 2 weeks.

You don't need to use a phone for 2FA, at least not in my experience (never connected mine). It can be with a hardware key instead (yubikey, etc). They don't make it very clear in the UI process, but it definitely has worked for me.

This is great, but it would also be great if they accept other solutions than monolith Ruby on Rails on MySQL for their systems design interview rounds.

I’ve interviewed twice and there seems to be a resistance from engineers both the times I argued that MySQL wasn’t the right approach. Sure, MySQL could possibly run any use case possible in the world if you throw enough engineering resources at it and highly optimize for that use case, but why do that if there is another engine specifically designed for your use case. The argument was “Shopify runs on MySQl and we can handle millions of queries… blah… blah…”.

I wonder whether Pete had followed this 1989 general aviation/accident analysis story:

> When he returned to the airfield Bob Hoover walked over to the man who had nearly caused his death and, according to the California Fullerton News-Tribune, said: "There isn’t a man alive who hasn’t made a mistake. But I’m positive you’ll never make this mistake again. That’s why I want to make sure that you’re the only one to refuel my plane tomorrow. I won’t let anyone else on the field touch it."

(The incident above led to the creation and eventual mandated use of a new safety nozzle for refueling, which seems like a better long-term solution than having the people who've nearly killed you nearby to fuel your plane indefinitely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Hoover#Hoover_nozzle_and_H...)

There isn’t a fundamental difference between ought/is. Both moral judgements and facts are based on reasoned beliefs.

Why do you think meaning is required for making a value judgement? I can very easily claim that killing humans is wrong without relying on any metaphysics, just like I can claim the sky is blue. Both are beliefs based on reasons; meaning can be discarded.

It's interesting how this post seems to implicitly assume that all books are fiction, but my implicit assumption tends to be the opposite. I don't understand why people read fiction when you can read about things which actually happened. I try to enjoy fiction, but there's always a little voice in my head saying: "Is that actually realistic?" With reading history, that doesn't happen. And nonfiction provides useful knowledge too.
It resolved because one party established dominance over the other. And for decisions that don't matter, that's a fine way of making them, if a bit unfair to those who are more timid and less aggressive. For decisions that are important, they are usually best resolved through a trusted conversation about diverse opinions.

That's not true, I was able to get working environments with all of the tools I used at Google within a month.

That being said most of them were overkill for startup or small teams. Found it kind of funny even though the tools are "open source" all the name's are different the documentation is non-existent.

Some of the open source stuff is just better anyway.
Unrelated to the content of the article, but is the cover image AI generated? Looks kind of like DALL-E style output to me but it's hard to be sure.

Talking about this in a nuanced way on HN these days is useless. Threads about IRC, Mastodon, Lemmy, etc don't attract pragmatists.

I will say while Element (the flagship Matrix client) isn't as polished as I'd like it to be, it's good enough that Discord users can use it without thinking twice on any of the non-huge rooms and spaces out there. It's quite close and worth running in parallel to Discord and I'm hopeful that the teams at Element and Matrix will close the gap to get sufficiently close.
No... a graph convolution is just a convolution (over a graph, like all convolutions).

The difference from a "normal" convolution is that you can consider arbitrary connectivity of the graph (rather than the usual connectivity induced by a regular Euclidian grid), but the underlying idea is the same: to calculate the result of the operation at any single place (i.e., node), you need to perform a linear operation over that place (i.e., node) and its neighbourhood (i.e., connected nodes), the same way that (e.g.) in a convolutional neural network, you calculate the value of a pixel by considering its value and that of its neighbours, when performing a convolution.

I had two VWs in my life that I truly loved till they had driven 50k miles: A 1980 Rabbit Convertible and a 2000 New Beetle. The styling and handling, but not the quality. After each purchase, I swore I would never buy another. I want to love and own a VW again, but only when the quality is as good as a Lexus, Toyota, or Hyundai.
The article explicitly quotes the original source for this kamilos theory as claiming exactly this:

> ‘camel’: he doesn’t mean the pack animal here, but the thick rope, with which sailors bind anchors. He shows that the situation isn’t absolutely permanent, but makes the matter extremely difficult for him in future, and for the present, close to and neighbouring on impossibility.

So, even if you don't agree with Cyril's reasoning, it is clear that he believed that "camel through the eye of a needle" would have meant complete impossibility, but "rope through the eye of a needle" actually allows a slither of a chance.
How I got here is a very interesting related recent (17d) submission, where a tech-savy inmate discusses how lucky they were to pretty much accidentally end up getting sent to a Maine prison, where they were able to get access to the internet & go from what reads to me like a hopeless prison mentality to a hopeful, interested, engaged & active person in the world, even from their confines.

Alas, the greater context here, and seemingly much of why they write, is that Maine seems to be the one a few rare states where they believe there's any hope of reform & rehabilitation. And even to get this context, it seemingly took Covid for them to be granted access to the knowledge & information to unlock & enable their journey & growth, for them to escape a foreboding dark prison fatalism. https://pthorpe92.github.io/intro/my-story/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38229231

This is unhumble as heck & just my own weird strange warped view, but I personally think there is a resounding screaming loud truth that access to FOSS is a civic virtue that can redeem lives & should be amplified accelerated & supported at all levels. Prisons, schools, & elsewhere: being able to personally entail ourselves into such great projects lifts the soul, gives us worthy efforts to motivate & work towards. FOSS invites us in to participate in the greater non-zero-sum aspects of humanity.
Some companies also trust an outside entity to get it right more than they trust themselves.
This is capitalism working as intended.

Despite common misconceptions, capitalism has nothing to do with markets (let alone "free markets", which are a myth anyway). Markets existed thousands of years before capitalism did and exist in other economic systems.

No, capitalism is simply wealth extraction from workers to the capital owning class. Now we are saddled with all kinds of debt: mortgage, student loans, medical, credit card, car loan. Less than a century ago, houses were bought for cash, education was cheap or free and there was no such thing as health insurance.

We got all those things to keep us complaint worker bees and to squeeze every last dollar from our labor.

We've gone through 2-3 years of rapid inflation. A lot of things didn't get intrinsically more expensive. It was opportunistic ie greedflation. How did we tackle this? By raising interest rates. Again, that extract more wealth from labor. We could've dampened the economy with windfall profit corporate taxes instead.

Unfortunately this also completely rules US foreign policy too. Look at all the wars the US has started since WW2 and coups the US has backed. Look at how often that happens after said country actually (or even just threatened to) nationalized some industry. Cuba, Guaratamala, Venezuela to name a few.

It honestly boggles the mind how intentionally blind people are to this reality. Some see themselves as ultimately benefitting form this system by being capital owners. Very few will be. But others will never be yet defend this system instinctively anyway.

Oh for some class consciousness in the US.

Your parent comment argument is a flawed argument, of course.

By definition everything that ever happens, happens from cause-effect conditions. So if you end up winning, everything that happened that led to it, in some way is responsible. But that's splitting hairs.

I have seen these situations even in other relationships. There are these cousins, or uncles who would have dropped you to an interview, or lent you some money to get there. You work hard and are fairly successful a few years later. Now they think they are responsible for the whole thing, and you owe a great deal of things to them.

If you are not relatively old(and 30s goes as young as adults can), you should be responsible for yourself, your finances and your decisions. Pension guarantees, and handing over whole life's work and savings because they other person wanted out feels not only excessive, but also devoid of any logical sense.

tbh the vibe I get is that Google seems to be great at building tools that teach people nothing about how to collaborate with anything outside their current company... so they're both hamstrung when they leave, and then they continue to build new tools that don't work together with anything else because they don't understand the community at all.

Bazel is a perfect example. Bazel projects are horrifically (arguably impossibly) hard to use to collaborate with other Bazel projects outside of your control, and its abilities encourage you to do (useful!) things that don't hold up outside its little isolated world. It's a super great system in a lot of ways, but it is anathema to open source development.

At times it feels like it's probably extremely destructive in aggregate, particularly as more and more companies blindly mimic it, and that worries me.

Yes. Nobody is converting every building to a windowless room. Just providing choices.

Also, few opposing these plans care about the air quality in actual dorm rooms, nor quality of life of the people for whom they're making decisions with N = 4 studies sporting error bars the height of the Empire State building. They’re looking to win awards with illustrations. Or score brownie points on an adjacent class statement. (Consider the context within which this debate is occuring.)
I had a crippling phobia of public speaking in my early twenties to the point I wasn’t sure I could finish college.

I joined Toastmasters as a “hail Mary” and spent about a decade as a regular member.

I ended up serving as President of multiple clubs, Area Governor managing five clubs, and even started the very first Toastmasters club on my university’s campus.

Toastmasters helped me get most of the way there, but even with a decade of what was essentially exposure therapy, I still faced moments of uncontrollable panic in a lot of social/presentation situations.

I went on an SSRI a few years ago and take a sliver of Propranolol before big presentations at work. Toastmasters helped me get 75% there—the meds take me the rest of the way.
Ultimately it is about trust. Time and time again history reveals that it is impossible to maintain trust by controlling information about trust. The only way is to build trust is to be proven trustworthy. But it is a slow and burdensome process, perhaps that is why governments return to the futile effort.
