The difference this time around is quantitative tightening and increasing interest rates. If the Fed stays true to its word, then we'll remain in a bear market.

Bear market rallies are bound to keep happening as people's retirement funds get cash inflows and fund managers allocate a portion to equities.

If you can find a way to go on life support for a little while - perhaps just shut down temporarily, then it will pay off, I think.

Over the next few months to a couple of years:

- Interest rates will keep going up and Quantitative tightening will happen.

- There will be a recession.

- A lot of people who resigned greatly will be broke and in need of work.

- Your services will be needed, and in a big way.

The person who finds what they love to do is rare, but the person who finds their calling is rarer still.

This is why more seasoned traders pay attention to trading volume. It is also how many players manipulate the naive traders into thinking a stock is crashing or booming.

I’ll bet an engineer makes a better product manager than a siloed product manager with no engineering experience.

This depends on who the product's consumers are and how mature the company is. A skilled product manager uses the expertise of engineers to build a great product. Being an ex-engineer is arguably useful in a fast-paced small team like an early stage startup but it can also turn into an annoying (to engineers) liability in an environment where product and engineering responsibilities are defined.

Also I feel like developers are a bit too self-centered.

Compared to whom (at Netflix) are developers (at Netflix) self-centered?

For additional context, here's a breakdown of water usage in California: https://www.ppic.org/publication/water-use-in-california/

People who criticize do it for their own satisfaction, rather than to actually help. Ignore it, unless you're looking for feedback.

As a counterpoint, for me light text on a dark background is easier to read than black text on a white background. Go figure. So much so that I sometimes create dark-mode CSS user scripts for sites that don't offer a dark mode.

If there's anything distinctly Canadian - truly, than the US, is that it is officially bilingual. Of course, almost no one in English speaking Canada can speak a lick of French because of how awful French language classes are - you can get an A yet remember nothing.

Hah. Thank you =). Great fun.

Yes, just like you can pump other for-profit services and products on HN, you can pump for-profit books too.

How do cures propagate? For example, is there a database of "best treatments for disease x"? How much time does it take for treatments to become widely available?

If Amazon pays out everything it makes to its vendors and employees, then the vendors and employees pay taxes on income, no? Whats so bad about that?

Certainly, I hope anyone commenting on this will take note of the publishing date being more than 100 years ago.

Who your kids end up marrying is mentioned as a big driver of caste in the article. I think that holds true today as well. All things being equal, your professor / lawyer / doctor parents probably don't want you to marry a janitor.

And, I'm pretty sure this is true everywhere.

In a highly competitve place (mostly due to population), they'll say something like, "he's from the janitor class, but thats okay, because he's a doctor" to justify marrying outside the caste.

I wonder if they got the idea from watching Wim Hoff videos on YouTube.

This is different. Generally, if you buy a base model car, it is missing buttons that would be available in a higher trim. In this case, the button is clearly there - it was cheaper to leave the button there and to lock the owner out using software.

I understand that many Europeans think that racism no longer exists in Europe - and I've never been there to see for myself - we do get the occasional story of black athletes getting bananas thrown at them in Italy, something that is weird and just plain racist. A person caught doing that in America would be permanently banned from the venue.

Often the deals aren't limited to cash. There are promises of economic development, education, healthcare etc.. as well.

You might agree to give your land away to a verbal deal where promises are made, only to discover later that the detailed text contains contingencies that give your counterparty an out of one or more major promise that you had taken for granted as part of the deal.

I think they're also upset with people who live in some city taking their land away through legal trickery.

These areas probably don't produce many lawyers.

If the olive oil is fresh enough to enjoy with a piece of toast, then the tip about olive oil is accurate.

Cooking with olive oil (at anything above low heat) and topping cooked food with olive oil produce two noticeably different tastes.

You have to cook at a really low temperature to preserve that olive oil taste, which most people don't. So, you may be better off cooking with a higher temperature oil (avocado, and coconute oils) and topping with olive oil after you're done cooking.

About salt: it makes whatever you're cooking dehydrate. This is sometimes desired early on in the cooking process, but not always.

Is a Major General not a very high rank?

It seems that taxing vacant homes strengthens NIMBYism. Landlords will fight new construction even more to ensure maximum occupancy.

Despite the rhetoric, if they go through with it, I think the consequences will be entirely intentional and the opposite of whats being advertised at the same time.

Because, every time Magnus loses, it is news. When he is no longer number one, it will cease to be news.

Getting More by Stuart Dimond is a good book on negotiating and building relationships.

Considering that there has been a fair amount of collusion to suppress engineer salaries, are you surprised that engineers feel unmotivated? People work harder to hold onto something they value.

1. Meetup.com - find local meetups that are doing things over the holidays. Try something new with others.

2. Go hang out at the touristy parts of your city. Dress up, treat yourself to a meal / drink / dessert in a cool place.

3. Make a list of chores - stuff that needs cleaning, fixing, and get them all done to start the new year fresh.

4. Someone mentioned going to music venues (clubs, raves etc..) - buy yourself a pair of musician's ear plugs to protect your hearing. You can thank me in a few years.

5. Go to the gym. Go to the driving range. Go to the archery range. Since you'll (hopefully) see improvements every time you visit, you'll enjoy going back :). They're also great inexpensive ways to blow off some steam.

6. Go to a wonderful coffee shop or an amazing old bar. Take a notebook. Find a spot with a great view, order a drink, and write - reflect on the past year, and maybe make some plans for the new one :).

It seems to me that buybacks reward those who've held the stock so far but want to exit their position, and managers who want a bigger bonus short-term.

In contrast, dividends reward investors who want to remain invested, but I don't know what incentive management would have unless they too are shareholders.

"Oh, yes, I see that you have the deed that says you're the owner. Yes, sorry, but we can't stop doing what we're doing on your land. What are you going to do about it?"

Not all games follow chess rules.

I think Mazda makes cars that have a screen whose controls are physical.

How about we go one at a time?
