The passage basically says that rich people can not save themselves. This contrasted with other religions at the time where the wealthy and powerful could organize large games and sacrifices to please the gods while living a life of debauchery.

The "eye of a needle" has been making rich people anxious since the beginning of Christianity. Early Christians eventually addressed these anxieties by stating that rich people could only be saved if they became pious and devoted their wealth to help others.

Peter Brown's "Through the Eye of a Needle" is an amazing book about all of this.
As long as we're positing conspiracies -- it seems odd that this retirement savings story is being written up in Plutocrat Weekly. I wonder what dark purpose the editor had in mind for when it hit the HN homepage.
The one process part that can be controlled and jumped out from the first paragraphs is not letting people touch billion dollar equipment at the tail end of a 12-hour shift.

If you are putting people in a situation with absolutely no safeguards, you can’t have them go into it fatigued.

I’m guessing the people working on that team also weren’t getting great sleep by the discussion of high stress and long hours. Recipe for disaster.
Indeed! I've been building a digital tabla notebook for Bhatkhande notation. I've made it as a plugin for Obsidian currently. You can write any text as bols as it's just plain text.

One hole in that theory is that Blender didn’t explicitly mention what DDoS-mitigation service they’re using, so no particular service is getting any advertising/exposure benefit from the attack.
It's a well made app from an underdog, versus a good app from big bad reddit.

In my experience, based on reading complaints about the app, is that many use it for 5 minutes on the default settings and claim it is the worst app ever made.
The reason why people don't want to take this line literally is very simple: they don't want to believe that they can't live a life of luxury and still go into heaven. If you're both a believer and rich, you can either live with the cognitive dissonance, renounce your faith, or just reinterpret the precepts you don't like to suit you.
No game engine can save a game from someone dedicated to being inefficient, like rendering high poly teeth on pixel tall models.
It's probably just confirmation bias because authentication system breaches get more coverage, and I pay more attention to them, but it seems like all the big players get pwned far too often. You had one job, buddy. Okta, 1Password, LastPass all had breaches or other failures. With so many self-hostable solutions available, I dunno why small/medium-sized companies trust external third parties.

It really depends on the plan and on your other options.

At Google the HSA is cheapest for almost everyone, whether you are a single person with almost no health expenses or a family with high expenses.
Google dev tools serve Google scale needs. Not only your 2 people startup has no need for these, but they introduce friction that might kill your company.

This is from 2020 and it is out of date. Phacility is no longer offering hosted Phabricator and Phabricator itself is no longer actively maintained. Also, graphite.dev is a solid option in the code review space. It provides better GitHub integrated code review like reviewable.io, but also provides a CLI with a more Mercurial like workflow and replicates workflows available inside of Google and Facebook.
Thank you and no worries!
Isn't HSA annual contribution limit something like $4k? That's not really going to be life changing when you're old, retired, and in need of medical care, is it?
Eh. Largely society transfers money from urban areas to subsidize rural ones. Thousands of miles of road and power and other services to sparse populations would not be sustainable without these transfers. And far from everyone who lives out there is a farmer, plenty of people just live on a mountain somewhere, 30 miles from the nearest grocery store, I remember this doing some driving in the Santa Barbara mountains.
Shedding the outdated burdens of unions and the dealership sales model is all that will save these dinosaurs and allow them to innovate at competitive prices.
Dump unions, automate far more, implement cutting edge materials and processes and technologies, dump the dealer mafia, and all will be well.

Same in Linux, which is why you'd choose a distro that's less bleeding edge.

No, it was slow. There's a reason why everyone in HPC/HFT/etc. moved off Solaris to Linux in the 2000s. Linux was regularly beating Slowlaris in practically every category at the end.

What kind of jobs take in a dev that's in prison? I hear havig any prison record is one of the easiest ways to fail a background check, even if you are otherwise a stellar candidate.

But that is good to hear about college. So much of my state to this day is still on the "hard on crime" narrative even though I'd bet my bottom dollar that over half the prisoners just need a detox session (or need to be released yesterday over weed charges). Some direction and education would help further and reduce recidivism.
If you plan the updates since the beginning, and are up-to-date with what's coming next, you are good. Having the app dualboot, running it in your CI to catch upcoming changes is a easy way to avoid such headaches
A good many of the less critical internal tools were have-a-nice-day tested. Meaning, if you looked at them cross-eyed they fell over. Teams put them out, gave a tech talk, got promoted, and then lost interest and moved on.

Note I said "less critical." Some of the important ones were really excellent, e.g. Dremel.

Yeah, it's the Fed rate alone that caused this, and not inflation.

If the Fed kept rates lower, inflation would be ripping right now and even more people would be sharing their wild conspiracy theories. This is such an absurd take.

I cost my company about 5 times my yearly salary once, long ago. I sampled an enormous amount of seismic data at 2ms instead of the proper 4ms. This was back when we rented IBM our mainframes for a pretty penny. The job ran for the entire weekend and Monday morning I was summoned by management, informed of my error, and asked, "You won't ever do that again will you?" and sent back to work.

Knowing that you are allowed to fail, but are very much expected/required to learn from your failure, makes for rather a good employee, in my experience.
I dunno if that's true, have you read Superintelligence for example? https://www.amazon.com/Superintelligence-Dangers-Strategies-...
The simple explanation is that many of these communities are the proverbial railroad towns that the train no longer stops at. Their key industries have dried up, and the infrastructure costs are unsustainable for the remaining population and economic activity.

The US overbuilt in rural areas during the late 1800s and early 1900s as the railroads pushed west, others had a major industry that has dried up, and a lot of these areas just aren’t sustainable anymore. But America doesn’t have a system for handling de-ruralization gracefully, you still have to deliver power and phone regardless of whether someone wants to live in the middle of Wyoming. We rarely ever rip up a road, etc. Infrastructure is a one-way ratchet.

On top of that most of americas infrastructure is aging in general and we have a general crisis of insufficient revenue to maintain let alone fully replace it. Everything is built on the assumption that it will catch traction and grow, and when it shrinks then there’s no money to maintain or replace it. This is a general crisis across our whole infrastructure - even apart from de-ruralization we’d have overbuilt infrastructure in most places relative to sustainable revenue.
I worked at a very large Ruby shop where errors in production were very expensive. This meant that we spent many times more money on instances running the test suite for every build than we spent on all production servers combined.
Some companies are also happy to be able to blame a third party. And there's safety in numbers. A risk mitigation of a different kind.

Not the OP, but I think it's a bit different? Self-acceptance isn't about just willing yourself out of depression, but accepting that it's a part of who you are, just not the sum of it. You can be "depressed and", but the "and" part is up to you to discover and cultivate. My partner is "depressed and X" (for her, X=[kind, loving, funny, understanding, compassionate, on medication, outdoorsy, fun, and my favorite person]). For me, who's been with diagnosed with depression as well, the X might be other things (goofy, prone to dad jokes, reckless, adventurous, smart, friendly, whatever).

I know a lot of people with mental illness. Probably more than without, actually. Some are on medication and/or therapy. But all the more functional ones accept it as a part of who they are, and still try to build a life and relationships on top of it. Mental health is just a part of your overall life, alongside physical health, relationships, work and personal goals, etc. Yes, depression can make all of that a lot harder, especially to start. But it can get better, and professionals can help, but sometimes it's also a bit of a chicken and egg situation too in that it can only improve if you force it to, but it's hard to force it to when you're depressed.

Depression sucks, but it doesn't have to define your life forever. Hang in there and keep trying :/

Edit: my partner had this to add about the social anxiety part: Will yourself to go to events and choose not to feel bad about them, no matter what happens there. Give yourself permission to fuck up and not be charming or funny or anything and just focus on enjoying the event for yourself without worrying about what others might think. Fuck 'em. You're there for you.

It's like the OP said, it's a lot easier when you don't worry about being liked.

Actually, lab rats are special genetic lines that are too different from pet rats, so it's untested if the drugs that extend the life of lab rats will also work on pet rats.

(i think) the short file retention time makes it unattractive for abusers.
For what it's worth, I strongly disagree -- the group as a whole (and especially its leadership) is responsible for the policies they decide to institute, and the incentives they allow to exist. For example, in this article's story the author is apparently working >80 hour weeks directly manipulating the $500M spacecraft two weeks before it launches. Do we really think they are "directly responsible" for the described mistake? I think a root cause analysis that placed responsibility on any individual's actions would simply be incorrect -- and worse, would be entirely unconstructive at actually preventing reoccurrence of similar accidents.

I think this is furthermore almost always true of RCAs, which is why blameless post-mortems exist. It's not just to avoid hurting someone's feelings.
That essay had nothing at all do with Jewish people, so I don't want to respond to each of the points. Instead, I will just give you an honest appraisal of my views to answer your questions. Regarding Musk, I was referring to the ADL, Media Matters, political parties and other orgs that have been angry at his lifting of speech restrictions. And yes, some Jewish orgs have been major players in pushing for internet censorship (out in the open - not in the shadows). I don't see any problem with criticizing any politically organized group of people that is pushing their agenda on me. Why are Jewish groups immune from criticism? Imagine a Mormon civil rights org that worked directly with social media companies to censor content, and that many Mormon people were heavily involved in pro-Mormon political orgs (such as supporting a Mormon ethno-state in the Middle East). Now, imagine that any time someone criticized "the Mormons" that someone would accuse them of spreading anti-Mormon conspiracy theories. Pretending that Jews aren't one of the most politically active groups is just silly, which I hope you will agree.

Now a question for you: How does one critique this Jewish political activism phenomenon without being anti-Semitic? How would you do it?

Regarding my essay, my intent was to call out the hypocrisy of people that believe in equality, but only justify their belief based on very dubious scientific claims that all human population groups - after 50,000 years of separation, genetic bottlenecks, selection pressure and interbreeding with other sub-species such as Neanderthals and Denisovans - all have the exactly same brain characteristics. I was trying to say that high IQ people have been taking advantage of their "unearned" privilege in our modern society while denying that such privilege exists, and that this might be coming to an end with AI - and that my own personal experience proved to me that intelligence does not determine the value of a person. Therefore, to me, differences in average IQ between groups is completely irrelevant to their value as human beings, and that associating the value of people with their intelligence is morally wrong.

There has been a discourse on Twitter the last few days about whether or not Ashkenazi Jews have a much higher IQ than the white average. This posited as an explanation of the over-representation of Jews in things such as Fields medals, Nobel prizes, etc. What are your thoughts?

Not to the same extent. Many officially recognized saints were extremely poor, and virtually all of the ones who had been rich were only canonized after (at least purportedly) giving all of their wealth away later in life. Nuns and monks, the holiest and most pious worshippers, must take vows of poverty. Clearly, the Catholic (and Eastern Orthodox and other old institutionalized churches) preach that poverty is at least accepted, if not necessarily required. Of course, the church higher ups have always been rich and powerful, but that is not the official doctrine.

The explicit belief that you can't be poor and beloved by God is a pretty modern, and pretty extreme, twisting of the meaning of the Bible.

Rather than vainly trying to escape, you should embrace it. I learned this from my brother who had an epiphany: our purpose in life as humans, is to pay bills.

Once you realize that, your soul is saved. No more worries, no more negativity, paying the bills is what defines you as human and makes you complete. The water, electricity company, car, pharma, doctors, education system ... all help you in realizing your purpose in life by charging you as many bills as possible. You should rejoice!

Whoah, that interpretation seems pretty wild to me. They put a lot of effort into building a pizza oven and someone else tore it down, and they should feel nothing about this?! If an artist sells their painting they shouldn't care if the new owner paints over a section?

You might notice it if you were to stop drinking coffee for a week - slight caffeine withdrawal. Also, I think that a small percentage of the obsession does come from caffeine addiction, the anticipation of the “hit”, etc. “No noticeable effect” can also mean that you just feel normal with it, but a bit uncomfortable (or tired) without.

I used to work in a rural manufacturing plant. I once totaled my car on the way to town. Our shop foreman was also a volunteer firefighter and was the first one on the scene. I survived with a bloody nose and shattered confidence. The next day at work we needed some parts from town. I didn't have a car anymore, but that same shop foreman lent me his suped up pickup truck. I was totally confused. He wisely said:

"Today is the safest day to let you drive my truck, cause I know you'll be extra careful"
Were the trades any good though?
Almost by definition, when you talk about the meaning of "the Bible", you mean the New Testament, and that it either explicitly supersedes or at least recontextualizes any teachings in the Old Testament. If you want to talk about the meaning of the Old Testament taken individually, you either talk about it directly, or talk about the Torah instead of the Bible.
