I don’t think you know anything about the ad business other than being an end user. “They replace worse and spammy ads”? What does that even mean? Your post is a spam.

After M1, I am definitely holding out for Mac Pro rather than going the AMD route. I am sure there will be a ton of professionals thinking the same. While I’ve always cheered for AMD as a company, I think Apple will gain substantial market share in the next decade. And AMD just doesn’t have the resources to fight that wave.

I know the direct impact is to Intel but think AMD just can’t catch a break. They finally have something going against Intel and now Apple and Microsoft will eat its lunch.

That’s fair. I was also a math major so perhaps my concentration was a lot more theoretical in nature.

As a CS major, I can honestly say the ONLY thing of value was a couple of algorithm classes I took. And even then it was from a text I could have read on my own. Unless you’re what I call one-percent talent, CS theory is not going to help you much in your career.

Isn’t it really the semi industry unwilling to invest because they don’t want to get burned just a couple of years down the road. I just don’t see this demand lasting.

I trade in multiple platforms and I put in limit orders (RH doesn’t even allow market afaik). To be fair, I am probably not your typical trader since I’ve been a fintech developer in the past as well as have been involved in analyzing many SEC cases for/against major financial institutions. I will say this: it’s extremely hard to prove execution quality on options trading let alone doing it in 2020 when the market was so volatile.

Govt cannot be an arbiter of what people do with their money. Period.

I hate to break this to you but front running happens all the time in finance. In fact that’s the entire business model for bulge bracket trading desks. I know it’s easy to point fingers at RH but what they’re doing is very benign.

I know what you want to say but that’s an awfully bad example. I would take out that loan 10 times over.

I believe this is to punish RH for offering zero commissions. Especially on options. I seriously think what RH offers, for anyone who’s traded options on the retail side, is a game changer.

Libertarianism changed a great deal in America in the past 20 years. It’s not what it used to be and has been usurped by the right wing and corporate types.

I see a lot of “libertarians” on HN and SV in general.

Edit: Ok now I am getting downvoted because I called them libertarians when they’re libertarians.

And Github is missing? How can I take this list seriously? There’s a lot of golden nuggets when you dig through github. You also get immediate credibility checks.

I am going to suggest Eizo (and similar high end) monitors. High quality and uniform monitors do wonders for prolong use. You might also want to use greyscale-only on alternate days if your work can accommodate it. Last but most important, train yourself to blink 2x more often.

As a hobby photographer, this is simply amazing and the most intuitive article I’ve come across. This is a must read.

I am curious, however, why we still can’t digitally reproduce bokeh. Apple is getting close. I thought LiDAR would theoretically solve that and could yield indistinguishable renders compared to analog lenses. That would be a game changer in my view and why I would like to see Apple develop a full-frame sensor coupled with their technology.

Monopoly = Lack of innovations. Isn’t Facebook the proof of that? What did Zuckerberg do since IPO? He bought a bunch of toys on shareholders’ dime. Including VR and crypto that was DOA. That said China will never catch up and it has everything to do with their political system.

We’ve already had civil unrests this year in the middle of a pandemic. When people start getting laid off it’s going to add fuel to that fire. Government has already blown its load in terms of monetary and fiscal options. I especially fear for what could go down in EU. They cannot sustain another debt crisis. We are ripe for a rapidly deteriorating global financial crisis.

The only reason why people in tech still have jobs (and why SV hasn’t blown up) is because the c-suite is getting rich off of stock market. When that party ends (likely in February/March timeframe), there will be a depression and civil unrest.

I like Tailwind because it’s the best solution of the bunch at the moment. But I much rather work on iOS over HTML. Now why is that?

Likely 40% cost savings at best.

Hmmm...I wonder why that is. Maybe, just maybe, it has to do with the fact that high market concentrations yield subpar innovations. Apple is really the exception here because survival (by vertical control) is so ingrained into their boardroom and executive culture. Otherwise, monopoly will almost always yield minimal req’d/viable innovations. Worse yet companies will invest in frivolous projects doomed to fail (Facebook).

And we haven’t even seen what Apple can do for their “pro” line. I can’t wait till they roll out Mac Pro.

They need to support Python.

I still don’t see why anyone should use crypto in place of fiat. The space is dominated by commercial interests and they’re not at all focused on dislodging traditional financial institutions that are entrenched which is the source of all the problems.

I’ve come to realize that you can’t be a billionaire without either being an ahole or extremely lucky (which means your success had little to do with your actual contribution). In order to accrue that amount of wealth in one lifetime from scratch you have to screw over a lot of people. Yet, our society rewards these behaviors and in fact idolizes them. We do not reward creativity, resourcefulness, goodwill, etc. In fact these behaviors are penalized.

Physical infrastructure itself needs to be federal. I believe that’s the most economical solution. But it could be virtually decentralized.

I’ve moved on to Square this year. They’ve been moving quite fast to shore up their online payment platform.

Can someone explain to me why we have so many front-end frameworks?

I suppose I can ping it upon page visit (for web apps). That never occurred to me until now.
