That also matches rich kids going through college. It's hardly an indicator of anything in my opinion.
Do you have children?

I used to run or cycle at least 5 days a week but since my daughter was born (and stopped being an infant) it is a struggle to keep a regular exercise regimen.

I try to run with her in a jogging stroller when I can but this is much more susceptible to foul weather than when I could just adjust my own clothing.
Constitutionally, states can't tax interstate commerce. That is a federal power.

A lot of states have created "use taxes" on goods purchased in another state and imported by the buyer. This is because requiring companies to withhold taxes for states in which they do not have a substantial business presence would be overly burdensome on interstate commerce. These use taxes are likely unconstitutional, but states ask their own residents to voluntarily report their cross-border sales, calculate their own tax amounts, and pay them anyway. I don't think the constitutionality has been tested from that direction, but it seems to rest upon an argument that use tax is valid, just because the goods were pulled across the border this time, rather than pushed, like all the other interstate commerce tax cases reviewed by SCotUS. As such, the only constitutionally valid use tax would be for goods purchased within your own state, for which the seller did not withhold and remit sales taxes. So cash-in-person flea market, swap meet, and classified-ad purchases, basically.

You only definitively have an obligation to pay tax on goods sold and consumed entirely within the same state. Traveling salesmen are insufficient to cause a company to qualify as having a substantial presence in a state--their sales are considered to be made in the state where their company is based, or in the state from which the actual goods were manufactured or shipped. I'd expect that e-commerce sites would be no different. If Amazon has an office, data center, or a fulfillment center in your state, you owe sales tax, and Amazon should collect it. If they do not, their site is just a traveling salesman, and your interstate purchase is subject only to federal taxes, rather than state taxes.

States bleat and squeal about loss of sales tax revenues to e-commerce sales by out-of-state companies, but they do not have a constitutional remedy for that, so too bad for them. Interstate commerce is explicitly federal jurisdiction. And Congress so far has not instituted any tariff/duty regime on goods crossing state borders. But it keeps coming up for votes, in Congress after Congress.

Why don't you try it instead of sealioning on HN about it. It's not like complaints about the Linux desktop UX are hard to find or anything.
The US isn't particularly space constrained. In city cores the lack of space is significant. For most of the country, there's plenty of room to build.
I understand what you mean, but I think it would be more correct to say "I don't distrust them as much as ...". None of these companies deserve a positive spin on "trust".
IME, dynamic secrets don't scale well. First, you're going to have a tough challenge getting a large org to stop sharing secrets amongst apps/hosts. Tougher still is providing a justification for why host1 for Salesforce needs a unique credential from host2 for Salesforce that is doing the same thing. Second, ensuring privilege creep doesn't occur becomes nightmarish when you consider an environment today that has 500k secrets and having to audit the authorizations an ID was granted in multiple backend authentication systems after that ID has been deleted. Finally, generating dynamic ids for an environment like this is a staggering amount of compute workload. Taking that same 500k environment and breaking these out to unique credentials dynamically generated puts you into 7 figure numbers pretty quick. Even if we ignore the complexity of such an arrangement, just consider what the performance demands are going to be to generate an id, assign it privileges and a password, provide that to a client, then clean the same id up later. We'll ignore how this looks in an environment where you have to replicate the identity that was created across multiple authenticating backends. (think Active Directory domain replication)

In short, I think dynamic secrets will increase the threat surface dramatically, while simultaneously increasing complexity. Complex systems are expensive to maintain, hard to secure and notoriously fragile. There is a limited scope use case where dynamic secrets may be a good fit, but I for one wouldn't base a purchasing decision on whether or not my secret store can do dynamic secrets. Instead, I'd want a secret store that has some provision for secrets rotation that I can tailor to the needs of my specific use cases.
I love the idea of the right to be forgotten just as much as I realize how unpragmatic, bizarre and possibly suppressive it might be to actually implement. I wonder if we need some specific leadership on this.
> People exaggerate spectacular but rare risks and downplay common risks.

I've heard it said that when you hear about some event in the news (burglary, kidnapping, etc...) you almost should not worry about it -- the very reason that it's being reported in the news is almost always because it's a rare and unlikely event.

In Japan, most housing is also a depreciating asset and isn’t used as an investment vehicle for global Capital. You need zoning changes AND this depreciation/disincentive to investment outside individual ownership if you want to recreate their affordability.
I think one of the interesting things is the lack of reason why. There are plenty of theories and many people yelling for the end of crypto, but it seems despite of what people say or predict the crypto market has a mind of it's own.

Its a combination of a few different things. The flavors make it more attractive to kids. The non-combustible method of inhalation means it can be safely/cleanly vaped indoors, say in school bathrooms, and you don't have to waste a whole cigarette just for one puff. They're also ridiculously easy to find online under 18; Juul themselves does digital age verification, but plenty of retailers don't.

They're being asked to prove that the device helps adult smokers more-so than it hurts new smokers. The keyword is "more-so", because if these statistics suggest that Juul's uptake in adult users is lower than the FDA's statistics on high school usage, or if Juul can't prove that the vast majority of their users were former smokers rather than new users at any age, or if Juul can't present evidence that vape devices (especially their ultra concentrated 5% nic salt formula) are safe, they're finished. And they'll take the rest of the vape industry down with them.
Literally a century of changes besides the FDA's role also intervened. The FDA is, to be honest, shit compared to how it could be if it were a better run organization. But it's still better than throwing entire industries to the wolves and insisting the free market will save us.
Original submitter here. Yes, this was a thought/concern when I submitted the article. Upon some reflection I went with:

1. HN guidelines stating, "Don't editorialise titles," and

2. The article itself is quite upfront on the issue - it's not like they tried to bury it or mislead (arguably except for the borderline headline), and

3. It does tell us, in no uncertain terms, that at least some coterie within MS is thinking of doing this thing.

My guess is that this inside build functionality was deliberately leaked to test the waters, see whether anyone would care.

Could the headline have been better? Probably.

Should we be concerned when the veil momentarily pulls aside and we glimpse the real MS behind the New Shiny Friendly MS mask? Certainly.
Chicken-egg problem though. If you say transit doesn't go places or doesn't run often people claim the density is too low and we need more people to use it. Can't have the same excuses just used to block everything. Just start building everything, high density housing, dedicated bus lanes, multi-level parking garages, better utilities.

Stop asking questions. Make statements instead.

Not "Do you like Node.js?"

But "I like how Node.js has evolved in the last 3 years. I don't care much for React though. I'd rather take on more Functional Programming gigs."

The first poster compares markets and laws, not cultures. The EU market is in dire need of a solution with similar effects as fair use, yet this tranche of amendments does very little to shift copyright into that direction; worse, with art. 13 it goes even further in the opposite direction.

Just the last sentence is wrong. The EU isn't a mess in terms of IT, it's merely irrelevant on the global consumer market.
> potentially hard on your kidneys

Is there data for that?

IIRC, for healthy kidneys this amount should not be an issue, slightly more per lb shouldn't be either.

I'm not sure what weight training communities you refer to, but in bodybuilding and strength circles amounts that high and higher aren't often considered "way overkill".

Anywhere between 0.75-1.25g/lb is where I shoot for, depending on my goals. But I have gone higher than 2g/lb for extended periods of time in the past

It's "not bad" in the same way as communism is "not bad" - i.e. in theory, but it doesn't actually exist in practice.
Your calculation is wrong. That's a deficit for a single year. There is a lot more deficit coming from multiple years piling up.

Plus, the article clearly mentions:

> The relatively low incomes of those covered by government insurance make it difficult to raise premiums

The ones who benefit the most from large healtchare payments have close to no income (retired people), so they can't bear any cost at all basically. This means massively increasing premiums for a minority of the population.
I'm for Japanese zoning, and Japanese anything else, provided we make everyone "Japanese" first: bred with the same common code of decency.

Also, Japan is NIMBY at the national level, as in "not on my island". For instance, accepting few refugees.

Smart in other ways, not just the zoning, you see. They protect their culture.
Trolley problem
Agreed. I would have shopped around if I knew this was going to be a major expense. My gyno referred me for this to follow up some questions after my annual exam and he was very nonchalant about it. I had never had an ultrasound, but I thought it seemed like a no-big-deal kind of thing on the level of a dental x-ray, especially since I have pretty good insurance, and that casualness was matched by the doctor's attitude. Nobody showed me a bill or price until I was waiting with a full bladder, ready to be scanned.

Yes. Go vote for candidates that want to deregulate stuff you want deregulated.

That said, the FDA is really, really far down most people's list of agencies that shouldn't exist. ATF and TSA are generally the agencies that most people would prefer to get rid of.

Driving for Uber When You Can’t Afford a Car
Personally I thought the decision was excellent.

It so unleashed a torrent of money into the political system as to make all money basically worthless. It was a case of massive devaluation of influence in a sense.

The recent campaigns have been telling. Candidates are losing who are outspending their opponents $30 million to $2 million (15:1). That should not be happening. But the influence that money buys you anymore is weak, and if anything makes you look worse.

It did suck for the first few years with the Koch Brothers, but now even the Tea Party hates them (thank god).

> eating too many animals and not enough plants causes our most common diseases (obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke)

Do you actually believe that eating "too many animals and not enough plants" is the cause of diabetes (I assume you're referring to Type II)?
The key examples of massive spread chosen for this article are all in novel generics. These drugs are going to have massive price volatility because multiple generic vendors are entering the market at the same time, and they're flowing through various distributors to pharmacies that have varying inventory of the drugs. So of course the spread is significant, and it's likely that both pharmacies and PBMs are pocketing higher margins on these products between the time that generics initially become available and the time that suppliers and prices stabilize.

Seems plausible that if you looked at non-PBM pricing for these drugs over the same period you might find that the PBMs do in fact reduce volatility and accelerate price stabilization, i.e. they are doing their jobs. Or maybe they're not. But the fact that underlying price volatility implies higher spread seems like something you'd just expect with a PBM model.
Oh, some would say that communism is already despicable in theory alone.

> Are you contesting that ads work better for good products, or that such would imply more good products across advertised products?

The latter. Basically, it boils down to the intuition that a company with an inferior product is likely to spend more on advertising to make up for its products deficiencies. The best products often don't need paid advertising at all because they can be successful with only word of mouth advertising from happy customers.

I've recently had some personal experience with this from an expensive home improvement product. One company advertises heavily, has a high-touch sales force, and engages in extensive SEO online. However, once I dug in deeper I came to believe the whole category of products probably doesn't work effectively over the long haul (their advertising and guarantees use some tricky wording), and is certainly not worth the expense. Their advertising was a poor proxy for quality.

Tunnel problem
If there was an epidemic of binge drinking in a school, I'm pretty sure the local police would start running sting operations to figure out who's supplying the alcohol.

If there's an epidemic of e-cigarettes, why aren't they doing the same? And I guess I may be ignorant of how the market for these works, but I've never actually seen them in regular shops. Where would I go to buy a Juul? I know there are dedicated vape shops, and also tobacco shops that sell e-cigarettes. Could you run stings there the way many US states run them at stores that sell alcohol?
You don't even need fowl play to get here. The reasons don't have to be economic, they can be psychological.

People sometimes just ride the wave and everything around them might convince them it's the way to go, keep going. But there is a point when the realization that it's unsustainable can creep in. That moment where you go from "infallible" to "hmm... can this keep going?" is when the bubble starts to burst. Panic can spread just as quickly or faster than the euphoria of a quick win.

Thanks for the blog post - it has opened my eyes to something dokku can do - I didn't even consider looking at it from that angle!

For me, the down side is flexibility. If I have a single project that I'm working on that pays all my bills, this approach is perfect.

But buildpacks do a lot more than just bundling and assets - and I like the fact that I can change the ruby version in my Gemfile and suddenly my server is using a different version of ruby.

That doesn't make this suggestion bad - I like that Dokku can be used in these two very different ways, and I have a couple of projects where this approach could be very useful. So thank you again!
Kind of like a modern update on Karl Marx's "those who own the means of production are the capitalist class". A Modern update because "means of production" back when it was written meant non-human assets (e.g. machines) and the tech industry is clearly harnessing the collective effort of human assets now.
Could you give examples of other goods that were durable and valuable over a period of time of say 500 years but are no longer?

I can think of salt that lost about 80% of its value since ancient time. The loss is mostly due to the fact that energy got so cheap and salt is abundant.

Gold is quite unique in its scarcity and desirability. Curious for your examples.
Sounds like you might need to stretch your hamstrings. Hamstring flexibility is key to form in both squats and deadlifts. In particular, the hamstring must lengthen as you bend your knees in the squat, and it must lengthen as you bend over in the deadlift or you round your back, which is probably where the injury came from. Google "third world squat" for a good test of your flexibility. Most people have very tight hamstrings from sitting all day for most of their lives.

I'd pay for yearly clinics for compound lifts, especially if I could learn better form and better stretching techniques.

But I lived in a city where the Posten (at that time) pickup point was basically just right downstairs.
