I agree with you very much, but you do learn something about your audience by observing what is up-voted, down-voted or flagged, and what responses moderators provide.

In general I find those things to be very personally discouraging on Hacker News. It’s a community I’d like to belong to, but feel that when I abide very carefully by the community standard of discourse, I still receive punitive downvotes for disagreeing with crowdthink or receive canned moderator responses that don’t explain the specific mechanics by which a comment is considered failing to meet guidelines, with no serious appeals process when you believe you’re being treated unfairly.
The efficient market hypothesis posits that you can only make higher returns by increasing your risk. So it would make sense that landlords make higher returns from poor renters than rich renters. They have to price in the substantial risk (volatility of returns).

> Not sure that can be assumed to be a universal truth. In most cases, in Japan, expressing feeling is sign of a problem. And often one reason ( of many ) for the isolation foreigners can face in Japanese society. While trying to 'express' themselves, they're actually making others feel uncomfortable by doing so, or trying to convey things that have been already understood, no need 'to explain the joke', you're ruining it.

That's certainly true -- differences in self-expression is often cited when talking to other foreigners about these kinds of issues.

Oh and I did not assume you were trying to pain an overly rosy picture of japanese culture -- I agree that they certainly emote less, and need to emote less because of the different cultural norms.
Dream vacations: The new age of sleeper trains
That's a great interview. I saw Anthrax when he was still in the band many years ago, when they toured with Public Enemy. I have the sense that not many top pop/rock/rap musicians are able to recognize the impact of touring on family and leave that career. The late singer of Talk Talk, Mark Hollis, was the same.

And I had always wondered about this:

Watchmaking is an ergonomically horrible job, you are hunched over, your arms are falling asleep, and you are just asking for carpal tunnel syndrome. The first thing new watchmakers should save for is not tools, but a really good bench.

The pictures still show people hunched over tables, though, squinting at tiny parts. How much can a good bench do?

This is all a bunch of fake outrage. Words are written. Some people skip reading important parts of those words, and then blame Tesla for their own laziness or poor reading skills. This is basically what you’re doing, although maybe more as an apologist for others who don’t care to read or pay attention.

I’m not even talking about fine print. The stuff that covers this is all very straightforward and not fine print at all. People should take responsibility and read what is actually said.

The outrage should be directed at people who make wild misinterpretations of perfectly reasonable statements.
So one should increase their reliance on third party services, potentially having their small site requiring two or three external services (potentially at different providers) instead of just having it all in one package (in PHP or anything else)?
No ideas in particular, I just fondly remember for example the responsiveness of the Amiga - PCs still don't seem to be as solid clock-wise, and when you get into running apps in a browser it seems like the multiple layers of abstraction are really obvious. And that's just on a desktop - Android is even worse! A pretty horrible laggy UI, and once you get into the horrific disaster that is Android development the underlying cause kind of reveals itself.

Imagine the tightness of a mobile OS running close to the metal and how responsive that device could feel. You used to be able to switch on a device and the OS would immediately be there - indeed embedded devices are often still like this.

Perhaps I'm just being too nostalgic though, and I realise Amiga OS was missing essential things like memory protection etc. that we now take for granted.
Apparently the two parties signed 29 agreements covering a wide variety of areas - all of which are fairly standard and cover the standard touchstones of trade, science and culture [0]. That said, there is an undeniable symbolism in the appearance of renewing, at least nominally, a trade route which has occupied peoples' imaginations for centuries. In passing, one of the interviewees in the BBC story (Peter Frankopan) wrote a fantastic book ("The Silk Roads: A New History of the World") on the history of the Silk Road that is well worth a read.

I'm not sure why you are being downvoted, because this is 100% the case. EMH posits that all risk-adjusted returns move toward the market Sharpe ratio. You can then modify the returns/vol by buying or selling at the risk-free rate.

So when renting to a poor person, you are going to demand the market Sharpe ratio by making them pay more in order to keep your risk adjusted returns in line the efficient frontier point.

One of my favorite talks is from Robert Martin, the first link on the bottom of the about.md - when he explains the history of MVC, I realised that the original idea for MVC is exactly what Redux is. But in the years people changed the meaning of MVC and that's why now it seems different. For me, Redux is 1:1 as M from original MVC docs from the 70s.

I'm also torn on using "standards" vs my own implementation. I feel kinda like an outcast, using my own "framework".

Worrying about your competitors redesigning their shopping cart or reducing their price by 99 cents per month might well be wasted time, unless you happen to find their design particularly admirable or compete in a very price sensitive industry. But not even considering what people might use instead of your service (even if this "competitor" is actually "do it in Excel") and whether there are things you can learn from that would be a bigger mistake.
If the risk wasn't higher, landlords wouldn't make more profit, would they?

No, I'm correctly characterizing inflation risk, which—by definition—does not involve losing money you had or anticipated.

No, the perceived lack of significant actual inflation risk is why dollars are considered safe, not the risk category itself.

By enjoying it
Any sort of promotion stopped, pretty much all career progression options were taken off the table, and people were not replaced when they left. Management was almost entirely dedicated to opening similar offices in countries with lower salaries (and labor protections...), then sending us out to train people there. When it failed in one place, they tried again elsewhere, and again, and again... Our office kept shrinking, both in terms of workforce and actual desk space, while workload per head inevitably went up as people moved on.

A year after I left, they moved to a smaller office, and after another couple of years they closed for good. It was all very predictable.

I tried Elixir back during the period that the Phoenix framework (the real draw - for me personally - to Elixir) was transitioning between v1.2 and v1.3.

Trying to figure it out while things were changing - the documentation hadn't even been updated fully yet - with old walkthrough's referencing concepts that were now being considered bad practice was overwhelming as a fairly junior dev. I gave up and went back to what I knew.

With Chris McCord announcing[1] Phoenix Liveview beta and demoing it over Christmas holiday season, I decided to give the language another try (as a less junior dev than I was two years ago).

All I can say is wow! What a delightful language. Pattern matching is such a joy to work with it makes me a bit frustrated it's not common in more languages. The documentation for the language and 90% of packages I've poked my nose into in the past week is concise and neatly organized (mostly due to with Jose Valim's decision to treat documentation as a first-class citizen in the language).

For anyone who has been curious and heard mentions of the language, with the advent of LiveView, along with the maturation of the Nerves Project, I don't think there could be a better time than now to give the language a try.

Hello, Community Advocate from GitLab here.

GitLab.com was originally announced with free private repos. When you’re starting to program and aren't ready to share your code with the world yet, you don't have to have a paid account to keep it private.

Now, we're focusing on making a single application for the entire DevOps lifecycle that can replace a lot of other tools[1]. So instead of a version control system that lets people try out different integrations, GitLab provides an opinionated (yet flexible with key integrations and the option to opt out of anything you don't want) way to run the entire software development and deployment lifecycle.

Or, as Stavros Korokithakis phrased it: "My move to GitLab was basically 'Come for the free repos, stay for the rest of the amazing features.' I will not be moving off it, and my new repos will keep being on GitLab."

This is such a ridiculous article. Of course landlords are going to charge a premium in poor neighborhoods, because their risk is higher. They need to match the market's risk adjusted returns, so they need a higher return to balance out the higher risk (volatility) and match the market's Sharpe ratio. This isn't "exploitation" this is an efficient market that is working as it should.

Moreover, there is a reason landlords don't fix up properties: taxes and fines. If you open up the wall, you might discover that your pipes aren't up to code, and the state will make you replace them at great cost. Also, the higher the value of your rental, the more taxes you will pay. So landlords are literally dis-incentivized to invest in their neighborhoods.

Not that citylab would be happy if they did, because then it would be the evil boogeyman gentrification. You know we live in a screwed up time when people actually protest making a neighborhood better (see: Amazon and NYC).
> The European Union is also worried about unfair competition from Chinese companies, which are controlled by the Chinese government and benefit from the state’s financial backing. EU leaders in Brussels are preparing a strategy to counter the growing influence of China, which they describe as a “systemic rival.”

Most of the Western articles I've read express concern over Italy's involvement in the BRI. However, I am cautiously optimistic: maybe having one of the G7 countries participate in the BRI is a good way to cooperate with China and bring a more inclusive and globalistic approach to working with China? I think it's too early to tell how this will end, but I'm less pessimistic than most.

Not really. In the preliminary voting last year nobody from Poland voted for articles 13 and 11. Most were against and some abstained. I know because I was campaigning for that and sending them emails.

In the next voting still most were against. There was no point at which more people from Poland voted for article 13 than against.

Anti-ACTA protests started in Poland as well in 2011 and were a big thing, they happened in every city basically and the government had to go back from the deal, which then lead to reverting it on the EU-wide basis.

> ... all the witnesses and officials were under gag orders, and records – including security video and recordings of radio traffic – were sealed due to ongoing criminal and civil investigations.

So it seems one of the lessons for journalists is: when you encounter witnesses that behave as if under gag orders, there is a real story underneath, and you must catalogue it as a story to return to repeatedly to pressure the unsealing or reinvestigate after unsealing... I also think it's quite perverse that witnesses are under gag orders...
I hope you aren't just trying to be cute but here is what I think:

They are a disaster because we have found some equilibrium with the current state. When temperatures change there will probably have to be mass migrations of people from areas that became inhabitable to places that became habitable. I believe in the long run we'll be fine but in the short run you will see a lot of conflict and war to fight for resources. This won't be pleasant.

"As one of the few white men around, he's in demand as an actor."

A few years ago, I traveled around Africa, including Uganda, using public buses (an adventure in itself) and they would frequently show movies or music videos. Many of the music videos were local hip hop artists, rap music often blended with local traditions. The music videos were no different form the bling-bling videos in the US and you can tell they all needed at least one white girl. Obviously, there were must not have been many options, so for the majority it was some girl that I would not label as "music video" attractive. My assumption was that they must have been the local Peace Core volunteer.

I did the same thing. Docker Compose was what I wanted for a single-machine deployment, but I soon discovered it was unable to manage a rolling deploy (start new containers before stopping the old ones). So I switched to Docker Swarm on a single node, but I have to agree there is a lot of unexpected shortcomings. I'd like it to be more polished. And I'd like Docker Compose and Docker swarm mode to converge/merge at some point.

Lines of code is not a useful metric with CSS and counting rules is not so simple as parsing is really a browser thing.
