Not sure why the media is running this title but from the official report:

“ The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until 2033, unchanged from last year's report. At that time, the fund's reserves will become depleted and continuing program income will be sufficient to pay 79 percent of scheduled benefits”
> Another advantage that I didn't see mentioned in TFA is parallelism

That's something we're thinking about and designing:

Time to kill.

In most FPS games, a single shot does relatively little damage. A typical weapon in Apex Legends or CoD takes about 0.8 seconds to take a player down to zero health. If you're losing a firefight, you'll often have the chance to retreat, heal and re-engage unless your positioning is very poor.

In CS, many weapons are capable of killing in a single shot and most are capable of a kill in less than 0.1 seconds. If you carelessly blunder into the crosshairs of a player with good aim, you'll probably die before you've had time to react. This is a deliberate design decision, because it raises the skill ceiling. You can get away with errors in positioning and game sense at a lower level, because your opponents are likely to have poor aim; as the standard of aim improves at higher levels of play, tactical errors are punished with increasing severity.
Being in a position to make sacrifices for retirement can also be a privilege.
It's not gonna be them, it's gonna be Gen X that gets the shaft on this one and probably millennials that raise the capital gains taxes on the old people when they finally age into leadership roles and the old people by that point will be Gen X again.
Separation of duties. Airport security do one job, border farce/customs do the other.

Turning airport security into customs and excise agents would be legally challenging.

Same way TSA in America largely don’t give a flying fuck when Amercians from legal states board international flights with cannabis products such as gummies or vape pens - that’s a problem for the customs people on the other side.

I should note here that some places do mix the duties - the airport security guys at Schipol will make a vague effort to stop you from taking a big bag of weed through, and will politely take it off your hands.
This can be shored up by securing additional funding. Republicans want to “save” Social Security by gutting it.
corruption maybe?
I was diagnosed at 4, I have legal paperwork proving I permanently cannot live independently, as such paperwork is necessary for impoverished families and adults to access certain social and financial benefits. I currently live independently.

Despite me being in this category you describe, I do not believe I have a condition that should be prevented if possible. I see researchers like FTA as having a conflict of interest - as wanting to portray themselves as the saviours of those shackled by their metabolism - which is best done by painting the saved in as negative a light as possible. I believe that I've been unfairly defamed and stigmatised by the medical establishment spreading lies and half-truths of convenience to promote the need for the general public to finance schemes to cure this horrible condition and take care of desperate children and families. I've dedicated my life towards enabling others from a trap of dependance caused by poverty specifically, because what else can I really fucking do to change perceptions besides being one person who enabled several others to live independently? Yet it's not enough.

So that's why I come into hacker news threads, throwing shade on the general concept of "Autism", a homogenous condition which caused by concrete biological phenomenon, and our need to cure it. Since to me, it was and always has been, a behaviourist diagnosis of clinical convenience there to serve social ends which gets reified into essentialist bullshit featuring an overbroad label defined by "deficits" that is taken far more seriously than the science warrants which dooms people to stereotyped perceptions, pathologisation, stigmatisation, segregation, eugenics, and warped medical care.

If something should be prevented it's doctors inane, fatalistic, and biased prophecies that somebody will never be able to live independently. It's not proven somebody cannot live independently until they die as dependants, what you describe are only opinions. I have refuted N=1 such opinions already and that won't be the last one.
HN automatically makes various changes to submission titles. The lesson that should be learned is that after submitting, there is a short period of time where the user can edit the title back to what it should be, in cases such as this.
I brainfarted. I meant Lacework, not Wiz.

Wiz actually has an M&A strategy (Aqua is definetly on the table, as well as Tamnoon) seems to and some greenfield product development in progress.

Lacework on the other hand mismanaged a lot of hiring, and there were some shenanigans in the sales org.

Wiz actually has a healthy pipeline and execution, but Lacework never had that when they did their raise.
Surely this was an advice from one of the Big Three consultancy agencies, following the cost-structure analysis
I suppose the "our" in that "our investments" is the socialist "our".

Where did they say that?

Why do you jump to that?

Why didn't you assume that they make errors like everyone, and simply deal with them?

Your ego is so fragile that it can't survive un the the same universe with the idea that someone somewhere might be living just fine without a crutch you apparently consider indispensable?

The fact is there are more than one way to detect and avoid errors reaching all the way to production. Every other human activity since humans existed employs them for thousands of years before golang existed. Rigor and discipline and methodology are not actually impossible. Shock!
Pluto.jl is our biggest inspiration. We also took some inspiration from streamlit, and of course a lot of inspiration from the IPython kernel and Jupyter. We didn't look closely at Observable (though Fons cites Observable as his biggest inspiration), and didn't look at Quarto or Enso at all.

As others have mentioned, we're very open about our inspiration and document it in many places, such as on GitHub, though you're totally right that we could have mentioned it here too.

We could fill another blog post talking about inspiration and lessons learned from other projects — perhaps we will!
My best guess is a lack of willing participants combined with pressure from up top to move money to keep the operation going/meet targets.

We also don't know how much of that 500k is profit - maybe the margins in organised crime aren't what they used to be. Each $3,750 saved is money they can put straight into their pocket as their boss might never find out how many mules they ended up using.

Or maybe the reporting is fishy
Ask HN: Choosing Between Two Jobs
i have a good job with a lot of freedom and an amazing manager with whom i go way back, but am struggling more and more with some of the people i work with.

the defacto leader of our group/team (he has no actual managerial title or responsibilities) belittles or speaks over people all the time, not just me. his verbal output is easily 80% of the total in any given meeting or forum. sometimes i will just skip meetings because my presence won't have an impact anyway. there's another who guy will talk at length in every standup about every little detail that he got done the previous day and also has a habit of interrupting others.

the other team members are the complete opposite and terrific to work alongside.

any ideas i have are either dismissed outright or pawned off later as someone else's.

i know that if i start saying something in a meeting i won't be able to finish my train of thought or the idea won't be accepted anyway. due to this i rarely speak up anymore and just do miscellaneous coding work / refactoring. overall this leads to less potential "recognition" throughout any given year or project and i fear it will be detrimental to my career long-term.

i am looking at this other job. the salary looks to be around 85% of my current.

do i really want to make back the salary deficit with more time spent in the office (overtime)?

maybe the devil you know is better than the one you don't.

I had never heard of Thread until just now... and I wish I still had not heard of it. Seriously, I don't need more reasons to be angry at the world. And I was having such a good day to boot!

Seriously though, I agree with the other poster who suggested just avoiding this as much as possible and hope it dies off. I definitely wouldn't encourage anyone to actually embrace or adopt this. :-(
They’re also delaying retirement age, which is effectively a benefit cut.
That's wild to me. Are you in the US and do you generally pay attention to national news?
Republicans despise anything socialist, and Social Security is that. Unfortunately, the program is too popular to cut, but they are looking at the funding crisis as an opportunity to at least scale it back. Social Security needs additional funding, not benefit cuts.
It doesn’t spoil, it just has to be broken up again. The entire McIlhenny Tabasco company is based on doing something useful with the land atop their salt mines. I can assure you that southern Louisiana is wet.
What action could be taken to fix it?
EU citizens generally pay much higher taxes, and get better retirement benefits for a wider variety of jobs, many of which would not be a career path that would have a good benefit package in the States.

And insurance that's not coupled with your employer.

The flaunting of wealth also isn't exactly culturally as strong as it is in the States.

My plan in the States -- in all seriousness -- is to be the local mountain hermit. I'll live semi-permanently in some hidden shack, I'll come down to town for odd jobs, hands-outs. Fringes of society for me.
People pay more for ugly trucks. Average car is almost half of this. Seems quite cheap if you can actually make it work for you, not just a toy.
I believe they are heavily importing immigrants currently. Not really possible to "solve" a ponzi.
I applaud whoever tries to minimize/reduce/remove a mandatory ponzi scheme.
No. It won't go away entirely. Plan on getting at least 70%, and vote to get the full amount.
Quite a few of them will be dead by 2035. The earliest boomers were born in 1946, that’s 89 years old. They’ll have been collecting benefits for decades by then.
No, smaller populations doesn't help. It reduces the amount of benefits paid out of the fund, but it also reduces the payments into the fund.

I definitely agree that options are not worth much at pre public companies, unless it is a very obvious case of a runaway success (like OpenAI or whatever). It’s not just that the valuations can be misleading (look at 2021 peak valuations), but also that the company’s leadership (CEO and board) can do all kinds of things that affects the employee’s actual value in those options without any transparency or input from employees. Like they could issue many options and dilute existing owners. They could take on new funding with bad terms like liquidation preferences or whatever. They can choose whether to provide liquidity (through an IPO or secondary) or just stay private for as long as they want. They can choose to expire your options after you leave. The fine print in the agreements that come with most offers of employment and stock option grants give those companies lots of freedom and give employees almost nothing.

It’s not just that the chance of success for a startup is low. That alone would make it a lottery ticket. But it’s also that you have to rely on trusting a small group of people that are usually not at all transparent and usually not deserving of trust either. They can screw you over even if the company is successful - which is exactly what happened in many prominent cases like Skype’s acquisition. This needs to change, and the reason it hasn’t is because employees who don’t know any better keep agreeing to work at these companies under abusive terms. Instead, they should start rejecting these companies until the norm is to have fair employee-friendly terms and total transparency around the cap tables, investor agreements, etc.

I have an out-of-the-box suggestion: For any parents who have been paying in but agree to forego receiving any payments from SS, their children would have a choice:

1. Operate under the existing system. Pay into Social Security, and withdraw as normal when they're older.

2. Have 7.65% of their income invested in a total stock market index fund, which their employers would match. If they want, they can reduce their allocation below 100% stocks once they're 50 or older.

We're already below replacement value for children per family, so while there would be a few families large enough for the benefit to the children to be significantly more than what the parents are giving up, it's still going to take quite awhile for the existing system to wind down. Slow end, simple replacement.

Some countries have solved the problem, while others haven't. There is not much to figure out. There are three basic tools: higher contributions, higher retirement ages, and lower benefits. You just have to make decisions. Ideally decades in advance, to avoid unfair sudden changes.
Survivor bias? maybe they just don't catch the ones that only had two suitcases of cash.
No. Government needs to shore up the funding for Social Security. Although, it’s hard for the government to do anything meaningful when Republicans are in a position to block it.
My kid is currently eight. We have been making slime together (and having a great time) since she was four. In the beginning, it was about showing her how different recipes lead to different textures. Now, she measures everything and we talk a bit about the chemistry of what is happening.

I’ve done a lot of things with my kid but never something that they have grown with like making slime. We’ve spent hundreds of hours and we both find it just as much fun now as when we started.
They tax people, especially high earners, at a higher rate than Americans. It’s not complicated. The US is the wealthiest country in the history of the planet. We could afford to fund social security if we wanted to but some people are opposed to it.
Which "subject" would you normally ascribe linear algebra to?

It looks like this is a first module within the Immersive math system. No doubt there will be more.

Why not look at what is presented rather than what is not?
We have chewed up and paved over far too much of the earth already. More sprawl is the very last thing we need to build.
The point I made at the beginning of this thread is that it’s a long term high cost and a potential dead end, that really didn’t save you much time. If you are in early stage and just need to move fast and find your product fit it could make sense. But again the problem it solves isn’t hard, and quickly makes things harder than they need to be.
I'll second this. The upper echelon of 5v5 is an entirely different game. It's similar to what was alluded in the post[1] about chess in another thread. The level of complexity is so high and the depth of refinement is so technical that generic statistics just don't quantify the conclusions we draw from simply watching someone's FPV. One would need to start by analyzing data at the most basic level: did the player move between two points as efficiently as possible without penalty or mistakes? How far away was their crosshair from where it needed to be at the point of contact for each engagement? How often did they misjudge where everyone else was? How accurate are they at timing enemy movement to another location without seeing them? What is their level of consistency at making certain well-known plays at certain locations? These are just the basics. The game-world data is available though for analysis at this level of detail.

People should be allowed to opt-out, but that would destroy the system because the public doesn’t actually want it.
I love this site. Great job! Nice to see you're on HN.
Removing the income limit without increasing the benefit amount (at least not at the same rate) would be a huge improvement and should be about as simple as any tax change can be.
This is one of those times where you need to go talk to your manager.

You need to tell him: I dont want you to intercede in this matter, I want to develop the skills to deal with this myself.

You need to say out loud. "stop speaking over me", "stop cutting so and so of", "xxx be quite YYY was not done speaking, YYY continue". You need to take ownership over your ideas and speak up for yourself.

The ladder up in business is a human one, you can be a rung or you can learn to climb. You dont have to be a dick about things but you should NOT be walked on with out deference or credit.

EDIT and PS: Never take a pay cut unless you're unemployed. That line only goes UP.
I kind of like that we’re thrown headfirst into this world without a ton of exposition around motivations and whatnot. It feels _a lot_ like Blade Runner that way (my favorite film) — sort of confounding and urgent. And you’re teased with these glances and sprinkles of a very intriguing world.

All of this is to say I think the movie is just fantastic and I regularly find new things to love about it on each rewatch.
It's baffling that some people here can read a sentence like

> Membership in Thread Group is necessary to implement, practice, and ship Thread technology and Thread Group specifications.

And somehow think that the restrictions only apply when you "ship", but not when you "implement" or "practice".
I am afraid mine doesn't do anything different when I double click, maybe it's platform specific? I am using simulator on Windows, SDK version 2.4.2.

What I wish for would be a mode where "crank position = (mouse screen X or Y) % 360" or something like that, preferably capturing the mouse cursor such that I can't accidentally click outside the simulator, even better if it wraps the mouse cursor around the screen like how Blender does it.
The argument I've heard is that Russian players have relatively high ping to EU servers, so are more prone to becoming frustrated and playing in a silly but fun way.

I'm not entirely sure I buy that, because the 2022 invasion of Ukraine was basically "Rush Kyiv, don't stop blyat"; an overwhelming advantage in manpower and equipment was squandered due to poor planning. Russia seems to have a very long martial tradition of just charging ahead and trying to win through sheer force of will.
I am not sure what you mean by “market value”. What’s the market exactly when employees cannot freely trade their vested options? Most companies restrict that, which is very unjust. For a secondhand lottery ticket, if there is zero risk of scam, I’d say its value is at least its original retail value, and there is no restriction on trading it. So if someone wanted to make a market, they could.
I can’t really use grace since it’s centralized. Will wait for when yours come out
> That was interesting and correct me if I misunderstood.

Yeah, seems you did, so here's your correction:

> The author asks them to take the week off while lying to the CTO that the team has been hitting milestone xyz.

No, he didn't exactly "lie" to the CTO; the team had really been hitting those milestones. Just not when the CTO thought they did.

> The dev team came back fresh from holidays and hit the milestones.

No, they'd already hit them before they took the week off. The only thing the author lied about was the timing, doling the already-done milestones out bit by bit to the CTO while the team were away.
I have always expected nothing. But I'm 62 now, and it looks like there may be something there for me after all.

For you, it's not looking great. But it has never looked great, and yet it's still (so far) paying full benefits. Don't plan on it, but don't be too surprised if you get something...
To value stock options correctly you must know a lot more than the headline valuation. You have to know the size (in $ and units), preference and other terms of every funding round, burn rate, cash left, whether any one investor has outsize control of the company and finally a good view of the competition, market and potential buyers. This is not available to the average employee, and often not to founders.

Stock options are a gamble not because of the economics of startups (although that can be true), but because the average employee cannot do serious financial decision making around them.
This is helpful, appreciate the context.

I saw a member of the SAC team speak at a con. The big point was that the team were all big fans of American cop dramas. So, they set out to make a cop drama that happened to feature cyborgs instead of the other way around.

That's brutal... Implies that when you have bad teammates you need to be even better to compensate for their suckiness. I suppose that explains why a lot of people get very angry (to say the least) during matches.
Shhh, don't correct the believers, they might learn something.
Social Security is incredibly popular, to the point people actually want to expand it:

https://www.nasi.org/learn/social-security/public-opinions-o...

> Moreover, Americans are willing to pay more to keep Social Security strong. About 8 in 10 (77%) say it is critical to preserve Social Security even if it means increasing the Social Security taxes paid by working Americans. An even higher percentage (83%) say it is critical to preserve Social Security even if it means increasing the Social Security taxes paid by wealthy Americans.
> Why would you give those apps root access?

You shouldn't but you install debs/rpms from the internet which get root permissions during install.
