Let's rewrite this to illustrate a point:

Why would you want a small, self-interested, unaccountable group of private investors to mandate how technology works?

Sounds like a recipe for disaster and the perfect way to stifle innovation

Depending on the particulars of your government, perhaps it looks more appealing now.
As per the article:

If anyone had a doubt about the closed nature of Apple ARM processors, this should dispel it.
Here’s a more useful concept than induced demand:

Ever since cities were invented, people have refused to have commutes longer than ~30 minutes each way, on average.

The utility of the city increases with the number of people in the city.

The purpose of the transit system (roads, trains, buses, bike lanes, side walks, ferries, etc., etc) is to increase the usefulness of the city by increasing the number of people that can commute to the city.

If adding more roads, trains, etc leads to more commuters, that means the city is bottlenecked on the transit system, and you need to expand it even more.

The core argument of induced demand is that more roads won’t make your commute shorter. This observation shouldn’t be surprising, since commute times are a function of humans tolerance for long commutes, and have been mostly constant for > 3000 years.

Why are you posting on HN instead of talking to a local lawyer?

I suspect that the company doesn't actually exist. If so, start a real company using stuff that you own without him.

However, talk to a local lawyer.

I have chickens, and I've had then on and off for a long time (close to 50 years now).

Chickens don't really attract rats, the food you feed them that does. So don't feed them more than they'll eat in a few hours and let them out to scratch in your yard.

I've seen chickens chase mice and swallow them whole. And they'd do the same with a small rat. And I mean the whole flock chasing them until it's caught and consumed.

Roosters can be an issue when you have neighbors close by. They'll crow all day and even in the middle of the night, and always at the crack of dawn. And they get "cocky". They grow spurs in a few years and they will use them on you, and your kids.

My advice is you buy a few hens, year olds are a good start. If you buy chicks make sure they're sexed and know you might still get a rooster.

And, yeah, the eggs are better than store bought, and often a lot better.
I have a pet theory that this is why time seems to move faster as you age. Novelty runs out.

As a child, nearly every day is packed with novel stimuli. The number of distinct “imprints” on your memory during this time is extremely high. In other words, you have a higher “memory density” during this period compared to when you’re older and the mind uses these reference points as a proxy for the passage of time.

It follows that you can lead a “longer” life by prioritizing novel experiences over routines.
If you are $120k a year SE and play your cards right, you can sometimes maneuver into a situation where your coworkers aren’t just competent-on-average but actively bright, sometimes brilliant people. At $35k, usually you are trying to identify the one other person in the office who also got unlucky so you can be friends with someone who isn’t getting remarried a month after their fourth divorce.

This can't be understated. Sometimes I've been in my successful dev bubble for so long that I forgot my low level preprofessional job interactions. It was miserable. Not because the bosses treated people badly, but because there was literally no kind of incentive that could get a lot of my colleagues to be any better. They only responded to the whip.
It's partly that we (the West, not just Americans) are so rich that we're out of touch with reality. Another way of looking at it is that hardship, which has not only been a part of life since the beginning of humanity but has arguably defined it, has been notably missing recently. So now we have young people complaining about things that would have very recently been appreciated and welcomed. At the same time they're bashing cultural values / norms that are in part responsible for this elimination of hardship.
This almost reads like satire.
Banks and credit card companies are exactly not neutral, this is perhaps the only widely understood reason Blockchains and cryptocurrencies exist.

Which bank or cc company is going to jump on the opportunity of platforming an alternative to twitter that almost definitely going to include content that the institutions already voted wouldn't be platformed.

On the other hand, a fresh network of imaginary credits that perhaps might inherit some value requires no permission and can be setup by almost any entity.

This doesn't seem to make sense to me as it almost seems a reverse progressive tax. People earning just enough to get by will be spending almost 100% of their income on goods, thus having a very high VAT tax as a proportion of their income, while people in the very high income brackets tend to spend far less on actual "goods" as a percentage of their income.

My family, for example, puts far more money in the stock market than they do in groceries every month.
Just because it was true in the 19th and 20th century that human resources can reallocate from agriculture to manufacturing does not mean it will continue to be true in a future context.

Every day our R&D is chipping away at the necessity for a human labor force until we get to the day we have 0 percent employment.
I agree that income is a complicated issue when it comes to tax and that hiring an accountant would be helpful. But, as an accountant I also think that a little reading could probably be just as good often times since 90% of the issues I see a generally fairly straight forward.

YAML isn't a strict superset of JSON, although since YAML 1.2 it is very nearly so; with just a little bit of care you can avoid the edge cases (eg. you can have hash keys longer than 1024 characters in JSON but not in YAML), provided you are cognizant of them.
actually, there's huge opportunity in GIS right now where your skills would probably be really handy.
Net. I didn't say this thinking the US should have similar percentages though. This is attributed to the fact that labor costs in my country is easily one third to one half as expensive as labor in the USA. Perhaps there is also less overhead in getting ingredients. I'd understand a 10% ~ 20% percentage net yearly profit, having most restaurants in the lower bracket of course, but 4% or 5% seems extremely low to me.
Go to the Asian groceries for fresh noodles, they're cheaper than dried.

The TV show Shark Tank wanted to feature me and my company http://www.AwesomenessReminders.com. However, in addition to whatever the "shark" investors on the show demanded, ABC/Mark Burnett Productions wanted 2% equity in my company or 5% of annual profits (their choice, to be exercised whenever) in exchange for featuring me on ABC. I declined.

(I spoke with the guys from another company featured on the show; they said traffic doubled with the on-air mention, and then reverted to normal the next day. Totally not worth it...)
I'm not sure about subsecond windows, but 24 hour windows certainly matter. Say you're planning on making a big order of lumber for your mill and you're ordering from a market with zero speculation so the prices jump up and down with the supplier's inventory. It makes a lot of sense then to wait a few days (during which your machines and workers are idle) to get the best price possible. I'm not going to say that high frequency trading serves a useful purpose, but to me that looks like a zero-sum struggle between Wall Street firms for profits that Wall Street deserves for doing its thing on a minute to minute or hour to hour level.

According to this NYT article (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/23/business/23rates.html), debt service was $202B in 2009. It is projected to go to $700B in 2019.

To put that in perspective, $500B more than covers what we spend on education, energy, homeland security and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Of course, this assumes that our interest rates stay the same. I don't see how this is possible as our debt/GDP rises. I fear we are seriously choking ourselves.
It's interesting that many people seem to have accepted that endlessly taking on more debt is a good idea. Debt has to paid off and you can't just take it on endlessly. I wonder what the future looks like if the United States continues to take on more and more debt. Right now we can't really pay it off ever so we're stuck servicing it forever. Seems like we're giving our children a much worse world than the one we were born in. When I was born the debt was pretty manageable and over the course of my lifetime it exploded to something that's basically never going to be paid off.
1. Professors, TAs, and graders aren't judged on their ability to answer students' questions. They are judged on many other things: attending conferences, publishing research, writing their dissertation. They prioritize accordingly.

2. The courses with the highest attrition rates are always the 100-level weed-out classes taught in 500-person lecture halls. At my school, a 40% drop rate in Intro CS was normal and 60% wasn't unheard-of. Were the drop-outs all too dumb to learn programming? Did some of them have trouble getting their questions answered? Nobody lost as much sleep over those questions as they did over their thesis defense. See #1.

3. Most student questions are about BS that's irrelevant to learning. What's on the test? Do we have to read all of chapter 7? Why did you take ten points off on problem four? What font and spacing do you want me to use on the write-up?

I agree that formal education can change a student's world when it's done right. I don't think our current system rises to meet that standard very often. In part that's because it's easy to ignore real problems by thinking about the ideal. University education can be better than it is now, and competition from less formal learning can help it get there.
"But the government setting the cost of borrowing money is NOT letting the market work."

Erm... so you're saying that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve isn't a big enough believer in the free market if he doesn't want to abolish the Federal Reserve?
Love the post, though the dilution #s seem whacky to me (my experience is somewhat limited).

First, it seems like an odd assumption that you'll be doing 3-4 rounds of financing before you exit. I've no idea to what degree that's the norm, but the founders I've known who've seen exits, very few had done a B round, much less a C or D. Certainly, companies who do C and D rounds tend to exit for MUCH higher sums than $30-50m.

Gabriel, you saw an exit. At the time, did YOU own 30% of the company? I assume not. do you think 30% is the a normal number for founders to share at an exit? I don't-- but again, my experience is limited.

COMPUTE!'s Gazette published a three part series on an assembly language neural network in 1990 for the C64, which is infinitely faster than this, but much more opaque. The article was pretty thorough as I recall, though.
That does give me some food for thought. Not sure I agree a username and password is pointless though.
It’s essentially an API testing tool. It is mostly used to poke endpoints on a development server and sometimes to learn the output patterns of a public API, what security concerns are there in stripping the UI?
Hah! Same with us! We had a meeting where we talked about should we move to Google Cloud, AWS or Azure. Google Cloud was crossed out within 5 minutes of the meeting starting because we have absolutely no confidence that it won't be killed. I don't care how much Google says it won't be. I don't believe them.

Having watched a couple of cancer deaths from up close in the last couple of years I think that anybody that seriously advocates this has had limited exposure to the subject.

I can see the point of 'having time to come to terms with things' but if that time is spent in a morphine induced coma because you can no longer deal with the pain it is of limited value.

It's probably not the very worst way in which you could go but it definitely isn't the best.

I think you're wrong but I upvoted because the article does raise a valid point.
> It amazes me why most people do not grasp this. I think it is lack of education.

Huh? Literally everybody grasps this. This is the most widely parroted mainstream narrative about the economy right now on the internet.

Hell, you can't throw a rock at the Wall Street Journal (conservative) or the New York Times (liberal) without hitting a sentence that mentions wealth inequality brought on by fed policy. For further evidence, your comment has been upvoted to the top because everybody on HN believes the same thing as you.

Have you ever examined the idea that it could be you who lacks education? Have you thought about what the economy would look like right now if there had been no accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve for the last 10 years?

You're angry because it feels like everybody is getting rich and you aren't. What you don't understand is that bull markets are always temporary. This stuff moves in cycles.

Sky high valuations on financial assets might be making rich people SEEM ridiculously rich right now, but this is not a permanent state of being. The companies and assets they own all exist in the real world and will eventually have to back up their valuations with real earnings.

The minute inflation starts creeping up, the federal reserve will have to increase interest rates and cut off the money printer. In an instant, wealth inequality will start shifting the other direction, and valuations will fall.

>We need to stop normalizing working beyond a 40 hour work week. I can accomplish far more and with greater clarity of purpose, mental acuity and motivation in an actual 40 hours, than I could if I attempt to push myself to 10-12 hours a day.

But normalizing any number is problematic. It depends on the job, and the specific individual. A warehouse packer or a burger flipper are unlikely to accomplish more by working less. So lets say each person can be productive for X hours per week. This number might be the same throughout the year, or it might go up/down, etc. It might be co-related to other things (pandemic, life events, etc). And then you have some people that can be productive for 80 hours / week. (I want to explicitly make a distinction between warming a chair for 80 hours versus actually producing something valuable.)

The tricky question is, what is the threshold below which you are considered a poor performer? And the corollary - If you are one of those outliers who can be productive 80hrs/week - Should you be compensated more than your peers? I know that if I was one of those outliers (I'm not), I would expect to get rewarded for being more productive.

The fact of the matter is poverty is really what is sad an unacceptable. People you should access to free health care and their basic needs met if they cant meet them, but I do not see what is fundamentally wrong with Bill Gates earning 100000X more than someone that is making a good living wage, with healthcare, and a 401K in SV.

I think it would be much better if the name and purpose of the header was something like: "tracking preferences" or even "user preferences". This way it wouldn't be just binary track/do not track, but could allow more customisation. For example user classification as a child for US Coppa law purpose.

It's different only because it dares to make that one extra step, cross the line and detach completely from reality.

I get what your point, and generally sympathize, but unfortunately the "mainstream news" has already lost the plot in what they publish and broadcast with a straight face. The recent impeachment hearings were but the latest example, whereby the video of the hearings completely contradicted the paper headlines in the WSJ and ticker stream on CNN.

The genie is out of the bottle; as in, there is no truth any longer about things far away from you. The only way to deal with this is to become smaller -- smaller in our communities and concerns, and focus on that. Not worrying about national politics, or nonsense happening in faraway countries, but about our own families, neighbourhoods, and communities. The smaller scale will mitigate a lot of the reality distortion that is currently occurring, plus it will make for better living standards all around.
