It's actually debatable given our capability for abstract thought and creating things like mathematics.

I think it's better to say that our minds have built in optimization for some patterns of behavior and thought but it doesn't mean we aren't "generally intelligent".

Just as if you have Turing complete language designed for accounting it doesn't mean you can actually write anything in it, even if that would be not optimal.

Targeting profit rarely helps. The big players can afford the financial engineers to make the profits negligible from an accounting perspective. Likely funneled into growth. The small players cannot, so you put them in a situation where selling to a big player is rational. And the oligopoly grows.

One thing I do when I see a dependency I want to use is get its github and paste it in this site:

https://codetabs.com/count-loc/count-loc-online.html

Depending on the # of lines of code and how many people use it actively I decide between just

* forking it and using the fork as a dependency

* copying the parts i need from it

* or just using it as a dependency

Either way, the dependencies existing is just a boon. Even if you don't want to depend on it directly you can use the existing work as a guide and implement something yourself.

> Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank

Funny enough, I recently opened a Chase business checking because of this "bank not bank" news: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40480159

I still have a different business checking with a Mercury-like fintech provider. Chase freezes accounts, Fintech startups go under.

Chase already froze my business credit card once. I had to send them a deed of a house that I had already sold. It made little sense.

On the fintech bank side, my biggest client cannot make transfers to that account. Their payment system throws an error when they try to ACH to it. That plus the news about Synapse going under made me want a chase.

So I don't really know what to do. I now have multiple business accounts, multiple personal accounts. I want to find like a good credit union maybe?

What's clear is being in small business requires building tolerance for money uncertainty that wasn't as necessary when I was an employee.

I feel for the author. That all sucks. I enjoyed the 'Yuppie Nightmare' reference. Many thanks for sharing.

If it's true CFA are considering a paid subscription video streaming service, it strikes me as an unwise brand extension into a totally unrelated market. And I actually like CFA. Based on my personal experiences, they've managed to succeed in a highly competitive industry by executing extremely well. Quality, consistency, speed and service are all top-of-class. Financially, per-location they are apparently by far the most profitable fast food chain. This is all hard stuff requiring deploying a bunch of highly evolved core competencies across a diverse national footprint.

Conversely, the subscription streaming business is a relatively new, emerging industry that is continuing to evolve rapidly while going through some significant challenges recently. Even the first-moving leader Netflix and media industry giant Disney are both now struggling despite their respective momentum (NetFlix) and strong cross-over media brands + deep experience (Disney).

The video streaming business leverages none of CFA's operational or managerial competencies. And with the fast food industry now under increasing fundamental pressure due to spiraling labor costs. Rapid minimum wage escalation is accelerating the need to shift long-time operating models to radically new models based on heavy automation, this is hardly the time to be losing focus on job #1.
> I cannot understand why any shareholder would vote for this devaluation of an asset

A lot of people made a ton of money on TSLA, and they think it is largely due to Elon. Not because of his engineering prowess or whatever, but just because it became a memestock with his help.
I think it's because policing in general is not at the standard it once was. Currently police are only rewarded for "big busts", but it's the smaller crimes that make all the difference to the individual.

In the UK for example, only something like 4% of burglaries get investigated at all. We're talking about the police not turning up at all. A neighbour down the street had a car stolen from their drive, under no less than four very high resolution cameras, and the police refused to even watch it or receive a link to it.

At best now, you can get a 'crime reference number', which then automatically times out when they fail to investigate it. The general response from police with theft is "claim it on your insurance" or "speak to the seller". It has never been a better time to commit a crime.

Having your items stolen after buying them with your highly taxed income is like a new tax being applied. I think we are edging towards societal collapse in the West. Nothing works correctly any more, and we still pay high taxes for the service.

I agree, discourse about faked photos ended decades ago while it's only been too hard to notice.
Yep. They can't get zoomers to spend $30/month on a "free" game's marketing skins if the skill floor is too high.
Policy restricting housing is indeed another factor impeding housing. The price controls I'm referring to are rent controls (which applies to ~70% of apartments in SF, and the threat of reintroducing rent controls looms) and affordable housing mandates. The affordable housing mandates require that a certain percentage of units are rented at set prices.

Again, if housing isn't an investment opportunity, then why would anyone build new housing? Sometimes people get together and build co-ops. But those are rare, and it's only available to people with a lot of capital on-hand. Plus, it runs the risk of the project going over-budget.
Probably wouldn't be too hard to add a 16 kB page size extension. But I think the Svnapot extension is their solution to this problem. If you're not familiar it lets you mark a set of pages as being part of a contiguously mapped 64 kB region. No idea how the performance characteristics vary. It relieves TLB pressure, but you still have to create 16 4kB page table entries.
We must first precisely define "level of security" that is expected from OpenSSH and a commerical version. Only then the discussion about who can guarantee what would make sense.

For me, it's the opposite. The type system is decent, but it's generics can get extremely out of hand, it's not sound, and I run into weird type errors with libraries more often than not.

Having no integer types (ok, this isn't something typescript could just implement) other than BigInt is another big one for me.

That you can just do `as unknown as T` is an endless source of pain and sometimes it doesn't help that JS just does whatever it wants with type coercion. I've seen React libraries with number inputs that actually returned string values in their callbacks, but you wouldn't notice this until you tried doing addition and ended up with concatenation. Have fun finding out where your number turned into a string.

The number of times I've read `... does not exist on type undefined` reaches trauma-inducing levels.

TypeScript is as good as it can get for being a superset of JS. But it's not a language I have fun writing stuff in (and I even fear it on the backend). It has its place, and it's definitely a decent language, but I would choose something else for frontend if I could, and wouldn't use it on the backend at all. I somehow don't trust it. I know people write amazing software with it, but YMMV I guess.
Maybe "poor emotional intelligence". Like you said, a person can plausibly get lucky on their first business and make it big once. But to do it repeatedly and to such a large degree takes skill. Say what you will about his politics, but his companies deliver. Even Hyperloop, which is basically just a bad subway, still has more buildout than pretty much any subway system in the US in the past decade. That might just be Elon willing to lose a ton of money on it to get it built though.

Might be interesting to compare and contrast the Las Vegas Hyperloop vs. the Las Vegas Monorail. Which is more of a boondoggle?
See my comment above. My company did nothing wrong, nothing even remotely shady. We were a C corp with a typical mix of investors - angels, Sand Hill VCs and CVCs. We were subject to extensive due diligence by investors. I've never had an experience like I had with Chase.
I got a letter from Citibank demanding I prove my business was legit. I sent them a "secure message"(on their online site) containing the documents. But(according to them) they could not open those secure documents. They called me and asked for the password for that secure message. That was of course a red flag so I went to the local branch and asked them to send those documents to whoever it was that was requesting them.

Going to the local branch stopped them from sending any more demands for documents so it seems it really was Citibank who had sent those demands to me. But for them to ask for my password in a phone conversation is a huge Red Flag right? And they never sent me a confirmation that issue was resolved.

I should have reported them for asking for my password, but did not know where should I submit such a report.

Big banks are too big.
Okay, so I was right: "protect renters" was indeed referring to price controls. Price controls coupled with what sounds like blatantly nativist policy:

> Dynamic price control of rents to prevent them from accelerating beyond what wages can support (existing tenants win vs potential new market entrants...

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "existing tenants win vs potential new market entrants"? Does this mean that landlords must rent at lower rates to someone who has lived in SF for some time, versus an immigrant that is willing to pay higher rents?
> I've come to believe that acceptance of crime is a choice by officials. Many low level crimes I've witnessed are trivial to catch.

> And it's only a handful of people engaged in this low level crime. Arrest a few.
And if they have a dozen prior arrests, like many of them do, keep them in jail for a while.

The USA easily has the highest incarceration rate in the industrialized world, and yet Americans like this say crime is out of control, and say the police and prosecutors are not putting enough people away. Their solution to this high level of crime is yet more incarceration.

Finland and Norway have a much lower rate of incarceration, and much nicer prisons, yet less crime. In fact, people don't even lock their bicycles up in Norway outside of Oslo. If you want to lower crime, ask a Finn or Norwegian how they did it. Americans just double down on what has failed them over the past half century.
This is easy to look up. There are approx 300,000 property managers in the US.

Assuming RealPage isn't lying about their number of active customers, they would only account for 16% of the industry. Obviously the numbers could be skewed wildly but it's still far from a monopoly.

It is applying random chance to hindsight, absolutely. They were bigger than us and growing fast, and we’d have had no impact likely, but it was not the wrong decision when we made it I think. It just worked out poorly to the tune of millions so I count it as a fail. Sometimes you make the right call with the information you have and it turns out badly in hindsight.

But, we still did alright. Worse things have happened to me. After a certain personal tragedy happened to me a few years back, I’m now in a place where I am only minimally bothered by anything that doesn’t involve someone dying.

I love this pattern as well, but as some comments have pointed out, there is a pitfall of security risk (you don't know where your API key is going). I think it would be really cool if more services let you cap API key usage, so it's almost like a virtual credit card number. I could then put in API keys to sites without worrying and knowing that at most, I can lose, say, $10 or something.

The reason for my personal choice to not take simulation theory seriously is because simulations are an instance of Russell's Teapot. Anything which can be explained as S simulating T can be explained more simply as just T (or, in the opposite direction, even more complicatedly as R simulating S simulating T, etc. Can* we go all the way to a countably infinite tower of simulations?).

* if yes, then I'd have to admit that the omega-tower could be as interesting to study as the 0-tower, but if no then I'd maintain the 0-tower is way more interesting than any of its successor towers.
This isn't relevant. I'm don't want smoking guns, I want an economy where harming people isn't profitable.

If I invest in a stock and the stock goes down, nobody looks at my intentions and decides whether I should make money off it. It's my responsibility to understand what I'm investing in.

If I invest in harming consumers, nobody should look at my intentions and decide whether I should make money off it. It's my responsibility to understand what I'm investing in.

Even if RealPage didn't know what they were doing was harming renters, they should have known that. Knowing how your actions affect people is a prerequisite to running a business in any market, but especially in a market where people's basic needs are at stake.
> Well, tcpdump is explicitely not what you want to do in this case as Moxie points out

Why's that?

E: oh, if you aren't familiar with OpenBSD I might get the confusion – pflogd/the kernel (not me!) watches the actual network device and dumps to a file. So the actual "knocking" daemon I bodged together is one part running as a privsep user watching a log file and giving IPs to the other part which just adds to the pf table allowing access.

My threat model didn't include people who can fuck with pflog(4) to attack tcpdump(8) - I'm sure they're out there, and if they wanted to be they'd already be in my network (or already are).
The current economic environment definitely over indexes on very abstract metrics to steer, which is problematic.

Huh, I always knew it as the pfranc project, never encountered the origin of the term until just now.
The Windows scheduler/admin issue is the difference of a few percentage points and it also applies to Zen 4. That it is such a big thing this generation is precisely why it's a lame release.

E.g. look at the Phoronix numbers you linked. More than "it's Linux" they benchmark a bit heavier in the workstation/server tasks which is particularly good for focusing on what this generation improves (things like AVX 512 performance). Despite this:

5600X -> 7600X = 45% increase

7600X -> 9600X = 25% increase

The last generation was nearly twice, and not just in hyper specific workloads.

If anything levels out about this generation it'll probably be when AMD gets around to releasing the 3D versions early next year. They shoot themselves in the foot from a media/review perspective on that each release because there are always CPUs from the previous generation that smash certain cache heavy workloads better than the new shiny thing at release and then the 3D version comes out with less general discussion and coverage months later.
