"I'm so sorry" followed by some hard listening and keeping my own damned mouth shut is a hard-learned lesson I've had.

For someone you have strong rapport with, some level of humour or other commentary might be handy. And, after listening, and paying very close attention to cues, you might find that there are conversations to be had. They might have to do with the matter at hand, or they might be utterly unrelated but desperately needed diversion or distraction.

Offers of assistance are also usually welcome, though I've seen in a few places that being specific about what you're going to offer is better. "Can I fix you a meal / do grocery shopping / mow the lawn / take care of the pets" is much more specific than "let me know if you need anything". The latter as an addition to the first may work. "Can I fix you a meal, or do anything else?", for example.

Advice is the one thing that's almost uniformly toxic. It's an imposition, unless you're actually a trained professional you may well be far from helpful, and virtually all the most obvious / common (all senses of the word) suggestions have probably been made many, many, many times already. The end result is like telling an obese person that they're overweight. Odds are exceedingly good they're aware of the fact, and another person mentioning it serves no beneficial purpose. At worst, such advice turns into a twisted form of blame or imposition ("you wouldn't be in this state if you'd done ..."). That's hard to appreciate if you've not been in the other person's position, but seems quite common.

And I'm sorry to hear about your dog, really.

I’ve long pointed out to conversation mates IRL that for a technological civilization like ours, shelter costs are a straight deadweight, Tsiolkovsky rocket equation cost upon the innovation throughput that is the civilization’s lifeblood. In the U.S., healthcare pricing policies are as well, but that’s a different conversation. Both are stranded capital that need unlocking towards increasing the technological development pace.

But most people with mortgages are trapped like a monkey’s fist around a fruit in a jar, by the siren song of house appreciation.

Yeah, I’m saying that parents can choose to live in cities to avoid being just a soccer parent forever.

School bus routes have been decimated in much of the country, creating long winding routes with horrible wake up times for children. And a school bus doesn’t take you to any place outside of school and the home.

Growing up as a school child in New York with a transit pass, it was nice to hang out with friends, or go to a museum, or head to a new park, or try a new restaurant, or any number of things without having to involve parents for transport. And I went to a pretty good public school.

Just a note that this reversal could just as easily be specific to you and your circles.

In this thread all we have is two people who find anecdotally that some older people move to live near where they themselves live. Given how many people make some kind of change in retirement that's hardly surprising. We'd need actual data to come to any conclusion about large-scale trends.
>> I’d have too much self respect to start working somewhere for a few weeks than bail.

You also have to remember the time. The first real dot com crash and recession that quickly followed.

I went through that crash. I remember several days where FLOORS of companies in the building I was working would be let go and companies were shuttering by the dozens every day. For about three months the bar across from our building would have a dozen people sitting around a couple tables, drinking beer around noon, talking about how they almost made it and you knew another company had laid off its entire staff. You knew one day you would most certainly join them. And I finally did.

And then you realize your dreams of changing the world are gone and you need to find a job because you still have to pay rent, pay your heat bill and put gas in your car, so you just took anything as aside to keep you going. I went to work at a Pizza Delivery place for almost a year while the economy recovered and companies started to need people again.

For him, he had a much faster turn around. But at the time, when no companies are hiring, you're just looking for something that will keep you busy and bring in some money until your next move. I'm guessing he didn't really care because so many of us tech cast offs were working at fast food places after the crash. He probably felt like he would be replaced within hours of quitting, which is probably pretty accurate.
All of their products are completely pointless and I am incredibly happy that they exist.
Last I looked, a CISO's tenure was only 3-5 years (I'm being generous) because the stress is incredible and you end up being responsible to every other CxO in the company.

You have much power, but little as well because every department claims security is the reason their projects are delayed - or if they move quickly and there is an issue, they point back at CISO.

Ask HN: Starting a learning-focused YT channel, looking for advice
So I'm a hobby musician and lately I've been learning lots of theory and everytime I discover something interesting I always have the urge to share it in some way. Sometimes I'll ramble to my supportive partner who has barely any clue what I'm talking about (love her!). Other times I'd make Reddit posts asking for feedback and just the process of sharing and discussing it is so interesting and exciting to me.

So I got an idea to start a YouTube channel as an outlet to share these "in process" learning moments. (It might also help me be more disciplined and thorough with what I learn!) And to clarify I don't mean to "teach" these things, though people can hopefully learn something. But the goal is more about sharing that process. So it's gonna be somewhat loose/organic in terms of what I share.

Anyway, since you folks likely have experience creating/consuming this sort of learning-focused content I thought I'd ask here for any suggestions or advice. I'd love to hear your experiences/lessons/opinions!
FOSS existed and worked fine before Github and even before Git itself. It's certainly a convenient tool, but not irreplaceable. Git is also well suited to being used in a decentralized way (with no centrally hosted master) compared to older VCSs like SVN. Again, less convenient but not the end of the world.

This is because of nuisance and the lack of private law enforcement. People will still park illegally if there is no parking in your establishment and the other people who will be affected by the illegal parking, will get upset, will call police, who will tow the illegally parked cars, and the owners of those will, in turn, get upset and, overall, it makes a lot of people unhappy. At the end the upset people will vote again for the current status quo of required off-street parking.

Back in 1986 I worked for $BIG_BANK where we replaced humans, typewriters and carbon paper forms with Xerox laser printers (conveniently leapfrogging daisy wheel and dot-matrix technology). These beasts were the size of a large microwave oven, or maybe a small dorm fridge turned on its side, and I seem to remember them costing $6,000 but my memory is fuzzy and it may have been as much as $15,000.

Anyway, these printers were finicky, and I remember we were visited by the same two Xerox service techs on a regular basis. In addition to repairs, they were faced with the near impossible task of keeping the toner (which was dispensed by hand from a plastic container, similar to powdered clothing detergent) off their white shirts and ties. We saw those guys so often that even now, 38 years later, I still remember that one of them was named Randy.
I have Google TV on my Sony TV and found that I was able to disable the ads and crap.

There was a setting to toggle. They tried to make it unattractive by saying I wouldn't be able to use the Google Assistant feature but this just seemed like a win for me.

If it would cost $X to develop this system inhouse, you could write down the requirements and offer the vendor to add the missing features to their product on NRE[1] basis for the fraction of $X (including support and warranty).

NRE means that the IP remain their, and they will be able to amortize the costs across multiple clients.

Assuming that this vendor is unresponsive because they're not incentivized enough (e.g. fixed pricing or SW licensing fees), not because they're incompetent.

Also, most software projects fail[2], especially inhouse ones. I would expect vendors to have a much higher "not fail" rate (but not necessarily "success").

What they would do is quote a much higher price since they’re aware the prospect isn’t price comparing and probably thinks they’re getting a deal because “they’re already here”. Why on Earth would they risk a higher priced job cancelling so they can do a lower priced job instead? lol! No. They will always do the better paying job first. If your contractor delays you it’s because another person is paying better.

Something else not mentioned here - there’s a strong incentive for both guests and hosts to use Airbnb as a way to find each other but not to book. I’m a host and I regularly get direct reach-outs from people who have found my listing on Airbnb, googled the name of my house, and reach out asking to book directly with me. Returning guests who did book through the platform always come back to me directly. Airbnb doesn’t deserve $200 from them and $100 from me for doing next to nothing.

This isn’t a sign that STRs are in trouble, people have been renting their second homes for a hundred years. This is a sign that the platforms are reaping what they sowed.

I'm curious if SpaceX has applied those mitigation techniques yet. I could maybe understand not doing it for the initial test batch of 6 DTC satellites, but they've been continuing to launch more, and they should be taking at least some action by now, like those "routine mitigation techniques". There's apparently up to >100 DTC sats in orbit now (see [1] and [2]); I can't figure out from the study [3] exactly when the astronomers took their measurements, but it seems like they were able to see most of the DTC sats. It's not great if SpaceX is delaying their mitigations, this isn't exactly a new or unexpected problem.

My opinion in recent years is that, completely by accident, we made the internet more secure then the phone system.

On the internet we have - for it's faults - the DNS and X.509 certificate systems. When I go to my bank's website, I know it's my bank.

We desperately need telecommunications to implement the same thing - i.e. businesses must present a valid cryptographic certificate which ties back to their registration number when using the phone system.

At the very least, so someone claiming to be a business would have a clear "invalid certificate" message displayed on the receiver.
They're the ones who gave us the facts. If they want to cover up or lie about it that's on them.

Indeed, the slow pace of technical advancement has hobbled GA. Much of it is down to regulation, but the industry has nearly sealed a fate of extinction by ignoring the leaded-gas problem for decades. The writing has been on the wall since the '70s, but only now do we have a couple of airplane engines capable of running on true automotive gas (gasohol).

Then we have the endless attacks on GA airports, spearheaded by corrupt local politicians and the developers who own them. The big money and small-time land speculators (in the form of fake NIMBYs) team up to lobby against and destroy small airports everywhere. While most people will say they support their local airport (or are at least neutral toward it), they are not the ones who take a day off work to vote in their local kangaroo-council election. The special interests and the developers DO.

The FAA has ominously abandoned its duty as steward of our aviation infrastructure in some cases, notably Santa Monica, CA. In an illegal, back-room deal whose terms have never been uncovered, lame-duck FAA administrator Michael Huerta sold out the entire aviation community and ceded federal land to a historically corrupt Santa Monica city council and allowed the destruction of a public airport... unless the public can be persuaded to defend it in the next few years.

There is no point to aviation advancements when there's no place to fly. We all love to laugh at how corrupt other countries are; but people: We're there. All of these "freedoms" Americans hang their hats on are being stolen by private interests forever. You will never see another general-aviation airport built. When they're destroyed, part of our national transportation infrastructure is gone forever. And what these innovators are trying to do becomes moot.
This event may make up for that pay discrepancy.

You seem to be under some misled notion that there is a conception of an outstanding sovereign debt balance separate from the securities. The aggregate outstanding balance is wholly constructed of debt securities. This is literally what the debt balance is referring to. The debt securities do not just exist to pay interest on the debt, but represent the debt themselves. The so-called outstanding balance is an aggregation of the principal of all of the levels of separately maturing securities.
