I hope that it works out before the sh*t hits the fan. I guess 2019 will be the year of the next crash (Italy, college crisis, fiscal crisis, DAX is falling, Brexit, Trump policies that basically just deregulate and only bring short-term ga

I understand that the government tries to incentivize people to invest, but it's also very clear who profits most from such regulations. In a market where there's a lot of capital which already chases yields (ECB already keeps the

Can you do a real calculation? I can save up 2k€/month because I want to work part-time (1-2 weeks a month) and will only make 6.5k€/month pre-tax (3.5k€ after taxes). Unfortunately we have heavy taxing here in Germany (42% income

I've always decided against a normal 9-to-5 job because it feels like a waste of time and like I'm missing a purpose. I think I'll continue to work like you've described for half a year and save up my whole income and in

I'm 20 years old and I feel the same way. Any tips for a young "old soul" software developer that has to work 20 years before he can retire (hopefully)? I've spent half of my life programming and I know that this is my m

Is this consistent? You could correct your perception using this knowledge then. Just add the half step. As long as the measurement device is still working, you can always re-calibrate (in this case cognitively) the base.

There are some strategies to prevent Amazon from destroying your business, but you have to be very careful. I know people who make 3k+/month with a 3-5k+ investment. They don't really care that it doesn't work anymore for tha

Wow. I'm glad that somebody did that experiment. I'm disappointed, but not surprised. From the article: > “They did admit that of course things hadn’t gone too well. But afterwards they spent half the day playing Counter-Strike

Do you mean theoretically? We already use CaptainDuckDuck. I can imagine to give a bounty for it, but I don't intend to switch anyways.

I will just link to my recommendation of CaptainDuckDuck: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18128575

Mainly a web interface. I never gave dokku-man a try, but it doesn't look as feature-rich as the web interface for CDD.

by mockingbirdy 8y ago
Tried Dokku in the past, but it was too barebones for me. Flynn looked also good, but it seemed to complicated (more features than we need) and we settled for CDD.

I can recommend CaptainDuckDuck for simpler use cases: One-Click-Deployments (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ...), easy-to-use CLI tool, automatic HTTPS, Docker Swarm support (cluster and scaling), web GUI and open-source. https:/&#

Ok, I will give some instructions. Unfortunately, it's not an easy way. It's mainly websites. 1. Know your numbers: How much do you need to live? How much do you spend each month? How much money can you save up in your job every y

I have a passive income of €1.5k/month without being a millionaire. Some of my friends are millionaires and we are basically equal. We all can choose to work and are free, this makes all the difference. The main differentiator between

> That is very silly. How would a descriptive fact about the world (e.g. what is of evolutionary adaptive advantage for humans) ground an objective moral 'ought'? We are basically talking about different things although we use

tl;dr - Nietzsche was the result of his times when it comes to women. I believe many people here have differentiated opinions. There wouldn't be a ban because you e.g. quote the bible, although it has some really misogynistic lines, es

Evolutionary psychology and even game theory hint at the possibility that morality has objective qualities that are advantageous for (human) societies.

I can recommend Erich Fromm's "The Pathology of Normalcy" - he's a well-known psychotherapist and author of the 20th century. He argues that we have a systematic problem and that treating mental health problems on an ind

There's a third use case. A use case that most people use it for... Developing web apps and avoiding caching problems, obviously.

I would recommend books like Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" and Dobelli's "The Art of Thinking Clearly". Maybe also "How to win friends and influence people" for good leadership mentality

It may be cumbersome, but it's one of the things you do once. Colleagues can help you with translations. Many internet, phone and other companies employ young people for support tasks who can speak english most of the time, so it shoul

Edit: Sorry, skipped the home ownership part. Berlin's real estate market is currently too hot right now. In Munich it's the same - I know some millionaires who couldn't afford homes (with more m2) for their families there. I

Boyan Slat was 19 years old when he started this project. He raised over $2 mio. for this project and worked with his university to make it happen. I think he's a great role model for young people. We need more young people like him wh

Reminds me of the Black Mirror episode called Arkangel [1]. Based on the name it seems that the researchers know that series. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkangel_(Black_Mirror)
