You still haven't provided any evidence that it's changed in the last 40 years, and clearly the philosophers you cite are completely irrelevant to that claim.

Re: counterarguments - or how about you don't make confident assertions about topics you're clearly lacking a solid grounding in (for example, your comment shows you don't understand that evolution operates on the level of genes rather than individuals) -- where you must know you're lacking that grounding -- and go and learn a bit more about it yourself rather than demanding that others provide you that education? I'm sure you wouldn't behave in this sort of way if it was some other topic, like something to do with computing.
z and autojump are great, but if you want a full fledged file manager you should try ranger:

Washington DC Takes Top Spot for Being “Bitcoin-Friendly”
It could be argued that those two examples are good cases where the customer could be concerned about the value they get, even including the status factor. Diamonds are notoriously high-priced because of a quasi-monopoly, and high-end clothing is pretty often of poor value, quality-wise. If you like designer clothes--and you're not on unlimited budget--you eventually learn what designers/brands to avoid, because the value is just not there, even for that industry.

So this looks like a case in point, where having a rough ideas of the production cost (some parts hand-made, made in France/Italy/England, expansive material like quality cashmere etc.) is important.
In every age those in power attracted charlatans and philosophers, to declare the kings work and world the best world there is, his doing the only plausible way and the attempt to errect a hypothesis heresy.

Communism at least made itself testable, it prognosed and proposed- and thus it could fail and be held against attempts to revive it unchanged. Economics never even got to this stage- they shirk simulations and hard data for the kings funds could cease, if they would propose testable scenarios or scenario trees.

Economics im afraid to admit, is less of a science, then some ideologys, who willingly submitted themselves to the killing fields of the experimental method.

Sure, and that's sort of what I alluded to.

What was the goal of the bail out? It wasn't profit since the return on the investment in economic terms is horrible (and was so predictably). Compare for instance how the dow jones developed over the same time period.

The goal was to keep these massive corporations afloat, to subsidize them. Now you could say, so what? The problem with this is first of all the missed opportunity cost and second of all that it was a clear sign that tax money, if push comes to shove, will be used to bolster corporate profits. And that is what makes this such an anti-democratic act.

Tax money is meant to be put back into the society, it is not meant to be re-purposed to be someone else's profit.

Let's be honest here, "non-binary genders" is a weird concept to begin with. It's alien, and doesn't apply to humans. Why is this whacko stuff getting shoved down our throats, and what does it have to do with programming? Do programmers think they are aliens or above human biology?

I use them for everything... they often end up as bags for recyclables (e.g. bottles, metal with sharp edges, paper) so they get chewed up fairly fast.

I'm not sure on that. Our electric heating can control the heating very precisely and hold the boiler at a specific temperature within the tolerance of the temperature gauge.

The heatpump and gas burner that are external are much different beasts as they require some windups and unlike a solid heating rod you can't flip them on and off rather rapidly (about once every 5 minutes).

An induction heater should also be able to heat a pot much more precisely than a gas burner (again down to instrument precision if it has one)

> On the other hand, MMT is deeply concerned with institutional arrangements in the banking system, and still elides central banks and governments in its explanations of how the system works because doing so avoids the inconvenience of explaining that the main reason budget deficits result in long term repayment obligations for governments under current institutional arrangements is because central banks fundamentally disagree with MMTers that systematically buying up all newly emitted government debt and pushing interest rates down to permanent zero is compatible with low inflation.

I’m not sure what MMT books you’ve been reading...

Off-topic but interesting anyways, I've noticed that people who move from the US to elsewhere, often call themselves "expats", while people who move from elsewhere to the US, are called "immigrants".

I think it depends on how you view the move. Expat (which in my experience I've heard more Brits use than anything else), implies that you still 'belong' to your home country but are choosing to live elsewhere for a (perhaps very long) while. Immigrant implies that you are leaving your old country with a view of 'belonging' to your new country.

Simplified slightly, if you ask someone where they're from and they answer "I'm from X, but living in Y" they are an expat. If they answer "I'm from Y, but was born in X" they're an immigrant.

citation needed. The trend in proof-of-work mining is consolidation of costs into large data centers[0], hence why it is no longer profitable for you to run an ASIC in your garage. Furthermore, there are very few profitable pools to choose from [0]. Large miners risk losing a lot of money by changing pools partly because not all pools provide as much revenue as the others.

> Which I absolutely agree. Decentralized does not mean efficient, I dont argue that.

It is not only efficiency, it is also robustness. The more centralized the consensus-making mechanism of a blockchain is, the least likely consensus failures are [2]. If no one would have took control in 2013, there would have been 2 chains for an undetermined amount of time, leading to massive levels of fraud and money loss [1]. Do you think society would benefit more from a Bitcoin that has massive consensus failures like that or would you rather a Bitcoin that has a central authority (the handful of GitHub commiters + mining pool operators) that can quickly fix consensus failures and prevent large institutions from losing a ton of money?

Jetbrains actually wanted to cut off access completely at first.

Initially JetBrains didn't even want to offer rollback licenses when they went to subscription only model a few years ago.

There was a big uproar among programmer communities (including here on HN) and after few weeks of deliberation a compromise of sorts was reached.

Despite offering a nice product line, JetBrains did lose a bunch of goodwill including mine. But goodwill does not pay the bills.

Governments have not historically kept balanced budgets more often than not, and when they have it's not a winning formula. Some of the worst economic crises have occurred after some of the most successful runs of 'responsible' Government balanced or surplus budgets, because it saps net financial assets from the private sector, with the only way for growth to happen being private debt (which eventually leads to deleveraging when the private sector can't take on more debt, which pretty much always results in recession). The only way run a Government surplus and avoid this is to run a big trade surplus (like Germany) - but that's a zero sum game so not everyone can.

Argentina, Venezuela and Zimbabwe aren't in any way representative of the results of "printing money". They are much more complicated than that, and MMT actually has much more explanatory power to explain what went wrong (variously - huge supply shocks leading to massive unemployment, attempting to maintain a peg to a foreign currency, and having debt denominated in a foreign currency, etc.).

One of the leading MMT researchers, Prof. Bill Mitchell is especially interested in inflation, and they have actually generated a pretty strong theoretical framework for how it happens that again has better explanatory power than competing theories (i.e. Austrian economics that predicted hyperinflation due to QE, monetarism that can't explain why inflation is so sluggish with such low interest rates, etc.). He publishes a lot of info on this his blog nearly every weekday, it's definitely worth a read.

Thanks for your feedback Chris!

We'll look into those display issues right away. We pushed a new design before the HN post took off, and we clearly missed a few details.

Regarding map load time, our servers are currently located in the US (which is where all of our paying customers are based at the moment). We do have multiple servers running in a cluster, but we are still working on our geographic diversity. While our load times are generally good wherever we've tested in the northwestern hemisphere, my cofounder lives in Korea now and he is acutely aware of our latency spikes in Asia. Our CDN, CloudFlare, routes traffic based primarily on peering arrangements until you start paying them a lot more, but we're working on geographically diversifying our server fleet behind CF load balancers as our next step.

You're suggesting that it's better that we allow people to continue harassing people over things that have literally nothing to do with their ability to code, than that people feel comfortable enough to code on your project - that it's more important to make racists, sexist, and other bigots comfortable than their victims. That's your call, but to call it "uniting" is complete nonsense.
