I have read that the cost of education is going up because unlike other parts of the economy, which benefit greatly from automation, with education you still have to hire these costly human teachers.

So as the efficiency of everything else goes up, the cost of those things is depressed. But teachers cost the same. So relatively under an inflated environment, they become more expensive.
If the small players can only continue to exist by serving malvertising, some might opine that they might not have a right to continue to exist with that business model.
Just FYI, but when you hedge with puts your holding period to realize long term gains instead of short term gains gets reset immediately, then you have to wait another year after you close the put position before you can sell as long term gains. Just something to keep in mind.
Musk can no longer pump his own stock. He has been as good as handcuffed by the SEC settlement. I believe he can no longer raise.

The lack of insider sales and no raise over the past year, despite the precarious cash position, tells me something is preventing a new stock offering or not placing.

While seemingly unrelated, I kept answering to myself "fear" as I read some of these questions. Afraid to fire, afraid of risks, afraid of haste, afraid of users, etc. In general with business trends of places with fewer startups, higher costs, less customization, slower delivery, etc it's almost always because the environment rewards the risk averse.
Why is not there a middle ground between hire-and-fire-quick vs very strong/rigid labor laws that would give more optimized/successful end results for most involved than either of the two extreme points would generate? On one hand, I certainly would not want what's happened to e.g. Telltale employees who recently got laid off abruptly with no severance packages to happen to any of my friends/family. On the other hand, if you want a pool of opportunities of strong growth to co-exist within your economy, you gotta relax and give some room for those of us who are or want to be innovative.

Come to think of it, with the safety net that is provided in most developed European countries (e.g. Sweden, Norway) one would think that there'd be more innovations (normalized by metrics like population, etc.) generated there than say, the USA but I doubt that is the case here without having any numbers or proof. Is it the scale that matters most or what am I missing?

Overall, I for one wouldn't still trade strong labor laws with being the most innovative place but I do still hope for a better middle ground for everyone.
Why must non-server advertising be the same as malvertising? The integration type is different from the ads that are possible. Server-side integration doesn't affect what ads are available.
Inflation/devaluation has always been that game. The question is why it’s been so uneven.

I think all of the areas Patrick mentions are places the government has decided are “multipliers,” and has directed spending or subsidy. I vaguely recall a discussion in undergrad macro that it was always an advantage to be at the place inflation is injected into the system. We’ve had these input points for 60+ years.

Tech is a mixed bag, but housing, construction, medicine, and education are all prime places for social “investment.”
The selection isn't happening on the publisher's side, but on the ad-tech side.

Every publisher can enjoy the tech provided by Google, and participate in gaining money from this system, relative to it's popularity.

So what we see is that small players within the ad-tech business are dying, while bigger players (Google, Facebook) can not only adapt to the law, but also help writing the law.

So a hypothetical switch to first-party/server side ads won't have a negative effect on small blogs, because they can simply chose Google as their ad partner, which will create the necessary solutions.

The only advantage big publishers have over small publishers is that it's easier to scale the extraction of money from 10 million visitors, compared to 10,000 visitors.

On the other hand, here on the other side of the Atlantic ... Silicon Valley is not only at a temperate latitude but also downwind (jetstreamwise) of an ocean; placing it in the middle of one of our continent's few bastions of reliably non-shitty weather. And there isn't much tech-related stuff happening on the north coast of Alaska or the northern regions of Canada, either.

So I daresay there's more to this than just the Arctic Circle.

I believe your interlocutor is suggesting that the Tor protocol makes tradeoffs in its design that tend to make it slow. This is demonstrated by slowness in the largest Tor deployment to date.

Also, have a large and single-purpose Tor deployment controlled by a single provider would mean there would be no privacy from that provider and anyone able to send them subpoenas. I think that this weakens the privacy provided to the point where the decision to use Tor at all becomes questionable.
> Their claimed solution when I read about this the last time was that similar words are designed to be very far off in order to make them obviously wrong, and showing similar addresses as a "did you mean" when you search for one.

I don't buy their claims. If they cared about human-friendliness and recognized the possibility of errors, the proper response would be to add an error detection scheme like barcodes. The use cases of what3words are even more diminished by requiring an app to see what's wrong.

> Also, they have country-specific word lists.

I do think the needs for localization is properly recognized (of course, one can get better geocodes by eliminating the possibility of natural languages in advance). But the resulting system is bad: they breaks down after the translation. And also as a native Korean speaker the word list is strange enough to me ;)

Show HN: Beans – a plain-text accounting tool written in Haskell
I made this but for prices: I felt like I was subconsciously biased towards products priced just below some boundary. When looking at products, you don't necessarily come across them in order, and the prices are not always round (not just decimally round but I'd also say that 501 bucks is not round). Take the series 931, 900, 942, 878: at a glance (without carefully comparing them) I find it hard to know the relative differences. To solve this, I made this which calculates the relative difference on the scale of 10 to 20: http://lucb1e.com/rp/js/scale.htm

For coordinates, if you have point A at 39.99, point B at 40.00, and point C at 41.00, then this tool will show you that the relative distances are 10, 10.1 and 20. There is a huge gap between B and C, relative to between A and B.

I must say that I was surprised to see that it places B so low (only .1 from the base value), so my subconscious bias already shows!

No, I would say quite the opposite.

Reading this way is a skill which needs a small up front investment, but the pay off is immense. The trick is to not try, just relax and pay attention and let the words speak to you as if they are being narrated to you inside your head.

Because there are no constant micro-interruptions from page scrolling, ads, or even from your eyes own saccades, I find that my attention to the text is much, much better, and I need to stop to ponder something I can just tap the screen to pause it.

I also find that I am far, far more likely to finish an article/paper/chapter via Glance than via my browser. These days it's pretty rare that I'll actually finish an article online, but with Glance I'll almost always read the entire thing from start to finish.

I really, really recommend this skill, especially if you have a lot of time to kill on a mass-transit commute, or if you just want to read more.
If you're trying to contend the study of economics is not highly politicized, then in my opinion you have your head in the sand. Or that economics is ad reductio absurdum to what you described and nothing more, then you must be oblivious to the world in general.

What you are really doing is just parroting what laissez-faire trickle down econ people... oh wait, by your definition they wouldn't be commenting on something so broad, macro, sociological, anyway they parrot that junk as if the redirection of wealth to the very few is some mathematical law, as if the pirate distribution game theory actually applies to a massively complex chaotic system like the real world.

Right.

You still need the HTML served somewhere - running a HTTP server on domain socket is a reasonable way of serving the that if it's at all dynamic, and since you've already got the socket open why not reuse it and do websocket over it too? Once the socket has transitioned, there's no overhead.
I'm sorry you're in that situation. I guess I don't have anything constructive to say, I just hope you find a chosen family.
> All while populations that implemented them keep collapsing.

I agree with everything you've said, but the frequency and scale of the killing of civilians by US bombs and missiles is incredible - it's literally at the point where only some of these events (and I guarantee we only know of a fraction of them) get even cursory attention from popular media. And when they do, it seems nobody cares.

We're bombarded (pun intended) with constant scenes of war and fighting. We're continually warned, cautioned and kept frightened about the bugbear de jour (North Korea, Russia, China, Daesh, terrorists, whoever). All this is used to justify the terrible actions and atrocities, of our military forces, used to justify ever creeping mass surveillance of the general population, because hey, we're the good guys! We need to do this to keep us safe! The enemy is worse! Etc

It hit saturation point a long time ago, and we know we can do nothing but continue sleepwalking into the dystopian nightmare that awaits us.

> If you are self-funding with organic growth then you have to make sure that you spend all your profits on growth which you should do anyway

In my case I have a mortgage and kids. To make sure we get by, with the high profit tax, there needs to be enough profit left, ergo, I’m not investing as much in the company to leave enough for the government and my family to consume.

I’m sure there are enough people who can get by with very little, and what you say makes sense. Just doesn’t apply to all, and that means on the country scale: smaller pool of people that are willing, and less money going back into growing companies.

A few things here:

This is a poor implementation of RSVP, as each word is being presented at the same speed. Longer words should be given longer presentation times, as should words with punctuation marks. The presentation of the words is also centered rather than aligned, which requires a saccade for each word, which defeats the whole point. It's also a difficult text to start out with, with no context.

Even still, I didn't have a problem reading and recalling this text, though I wouldn't recommended it for a beginner.
Dude, no one talks about degree 2 vs degree 3 peritoneal tears or peeing when you jumprope. That is not talked about. I don't think you have any idea of the actual trauma involved in birth: the membrane sweeps, the cervix check, the coercion into surgery under the threat of your kid dying, being essentially chained to a bed unable to leave because of an IV and the monitor when you know just being able to walk down the hall would make you feel better. The epidural gone in wrong, paralyzing one side of your body but leaving the other side in great pain, and then being unable to push because of the asymmetry. The nurse telling you you're not allowed to push until the ob-gyn comes, but the ob-gyn is out to lunch. Afterward, the mastitis, the bleeding nipples, the sharp stabbing pain in your pelvis when you try to do side plank. Yeah.

Yeah, that's not why we tell girls not to get pregnant.

These orders in the settlement with Tesla mean that Musk cannot say in public things about Tesla anymore without proper supervision from the company. At least, he cannot say exciting, Stark-Industries-like things anymore. I let you decide if this change is removing him in any meaningful way.

"(b) create a permanent committee (“Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors, consisting of independent directors only, overseeing the (i) implementation of the terms of this Consent and incorporated Final Judgment; (ii) controls and processes governing the Company’s and its senior executives’ disclosures and/or public statements that relate to the Company; and (iii) review and resolution of human resources issues or issues raising conflicts of interest that involve any member of executive management. The charter and composition of the Committee is subject to review and approval by the staff of the Commission;

"(c) employ or designate an experienced securities lawyer (“Securities Counsel”) whose qualifications are not unacceptable to the staff and maintain such counsel (or a successor Securities Counsel) for so long as the Company remains a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Securities Counsel will review communications made through Twitter and other social media by the Company’s senior officers in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s disclosure policy and procedures, including the procedures and controls referenced in subsection (d) below, as well as advise the Company on securities issues, including, but not limited to, compliance with all federal securities laws and regulations;

"(d) implement mandatory procedures and controls to oversee all of Elon Musk’s communications regarding the Company made in any format, including, but not limited to, posts on social media (e.g., Twitter), the Company’s website (e.g., the Company’s blog), press releases, and investor calls, and to pre-approve any such written communications that contain, or reasonably could contain, information material to the Company or its shareholders. The definition of, and the process to determine, which of Elon Musk’s communications contain, or reasonably could contain, information material to the Company or its shareholders shall be set forth in the Company’s disclosure policies and procedures;"

You're unnecessarily turning this into sexism issue, ironically ignoring how men also have a part in birth rate. All humans, men or women, have agency, but they're most likely going to act in their best interests. That's why we can generalize large scale behavior with some degree of accuracy. Obviously that's the not going to capture the nuances of every individual decision, but that's the best that we can do when discussing the effects of policy.
>He doesn’t have to have a reason beyond being as flawed of a human being as the rest of us

You're taking what should be proven as a premise. He's only "flawed" if he's wrong, which is not really a closed case.

Besides, what's this "he doesn't have to have a reason" thing? He has a reason, and it's exactly the very arguments in TFA.
Yes and no. LLCs can carry investors, and Delaware is an advantage to some. LLCs can be publicly traded.

The typical LLC has few or no investors (that are not managers or members), and it’s unusual for Delaware LLC law to provide much advantage over any other state in that case. YMMV.

> Recently, I'm seeing the other side, while self-learning some maths. I can see how much one-on-one tutoring would help clear up misunderstandings. Instead, I'm using the strategy of insisting on starting from the basics, chasing down each detail as much as I can, using online resources, and working out proofs for myself. Each step is a journey in itself...

I did this for a while and gave up the self-learning aspect and went to university to study math part-time. I have the utmost respect for anyone who has the patience to push through it on their own. Some things I can learn on my own but higher maths I couldn't--at least with any degree of efficiency.
Start the day with a plan.

I use the Franklin covey method of listing out tasks ranked by importance first. Most important have “A”s next to them, then “B”s and so on. Then rank the list by order, 1,2,3,etc.

List should look like this:

1A - most important fire drill task I need to get done today

2A - def have to do this too

3B - let’s do this after that

4B - blah blah blah

...

This will focus your efforts on being effective rather than efficient.

Then I intentionally detach myself from accomplishing everything on the list. There will be days when you can’t even get through task 1A so you really have to be able to cut yourself off and sleep on it. If you get too emotionally attached to completing the list you’ll experience dissatisfaction. Instead, choose to value other aspects of your life like the fact that you have flexibility, family time, good health, etc.
By far the biggest factor is the over $130B of aid the U.S. has provided to Israel which directly nurtured the high technology industry.[1]

This is also true for the U.S. itself; Silicon Valley is largely a creation of Pentagon investment (see: DARPA).

That depends on what you mean. If you mean "there is a genetic component to intelligence", that is not controversial. If you mean "there are intrinsic differences in the genetic backgrounds of particular races that lead to differences in intellectual ability", that is extraordinarily controversial.

Vancouver’s “Second Narrows” bridge was built in the late 50s and completed in 3 years. Midway through the project a major accident killed 19 people. It was the result of an engineering error.

In the mid 90s the bridge name was changed. It is now generally referred to as the “Ironworkers memorial bridge”. Anyone crossing that bridge since is constantly reminded of that engineering error.

“Better safe than sorry” is rising belief.

Once this truism became generally accepted, as it generally is, it has precedent over other considerations. Since “safe” means more than physical safety, practically any human action is subject to exponentially increasing levels of scrutiny. It takes time to come to an agreement that everything is safe. In big projects it takes a lot of time. On bigger projects it might never come.
If it's entirely determined by physical stuff thats a contradiction. It may be very complicated, but its still physical.
