One thing most people don't realize is that citizens own corporations. Retail investors (anyone with retirement accounts) own or are beneficial owners of the majority of public company common stock. And as shareowners, you have rights.

So, you can change this loop if as a shareowner, you change what happens between steps 1 and 2 by engaging with those companies.

I built this site to try and make that process accessible. For example, this NGO campaign for fund managers to require companies to disclose political spending: https://www.yourstake.org/campaign/disclose-corporate-politi...

> Cities are nearly immortal; though they decline, they rarely die.

Cities great and small die all the time. Ur died, Babylon died. SF will die. Cities die when their purpose no longer justifies their expense. And the purpose of most cities is concentrating people to facilitate trade. But increasingly there’s nothing to do in SF, especially for the masses. If people don’t figure out something for these people to do, SF will definitely die.

This is a good and comprehensive article. You and the grandparent comment are focusing on one minor component and using it to raise FUD about the rest of the article and indeed the entire NYT now. It's a lazy form of debate. HN used to be better than this.

You say something mathematically precise and then switch into a vague "very few". Take some walks around the parks and go people watching, you will get a better feel for what that "very few" can mean.

13% of 800,000 is about 100,000. Very few.

There is the issue: people know how to solve the problem, but to many voters it is directly against their personal interest.

They do need to watch out though: there is nothing about San Francisco (or any other area) that means the rich need to live there, or you need to move there to get rich. (unless you are into mining for wealth where you obviously need to be where your mineral is). If some other area becomes hot the people in San Francisco have the most to lose: your house that you paid so much for and work so hard to protect the value of has the farther to fall. When/if the bubble collapses those in more reasonable areas who voted for policies that keep property values reasonable (ie allowing more development and/or not driving people out) won't fall as far.
Moving the goalposts.

San Francisco could double its population and still be ~30% less dense than Paris is. Let's aim for that. Paris is generally considered to be an okay place.

Since the previous comment got flagged for "tone" (presumably), here's just facts:

- MRSA rates in german hospital are extremely high

- waiting times for specialists are measured in months

- rushed appointments and higher likelihood of diagnostic mistakes

- two-class system (public/private) that by law shuts out ordinary workers from better private care

- doctors are leaving in droves for countries like Switzerland (after spending decades in the "free" German education system)

All of these are results of price-fixing that people absolutely should care about. Proper healthcare costs money, especially in a developed country.

I'm getting downvoted into oblivion, presumably by people who fetishize a socialized system they themselves do not have and know very little about. It's enraging to say the least.

Just one data point: our IT has now blocked the whole java.com domain. Oracle Java is now primarily seen as an infection you get through the Java Updater. Yes, I know of OpenJDK and I'm currently in the process of migrating machines to it, but I can assure you the damage to Java is very real.
It also helps that Vienna's population has been basically flat for many years.

By contrast the prior #1 most liveable city - Melbourne - has grown from 2 million 30 years ago to 5 million currently, forecast to get to 8 million by 2050, all due to mass immigration. Livability has fallen directly in line with population growth.

I've lived in a lot of cities around the world and think there is a 'sweet spot' population number: big enough to allow the provision of niche services and the agglomeration of talent, yet not too big as to introduce costly dis-economies of scale (usually through very expensive housing and transportation.) That level seems to be about 1-3 million.

The problem is that the system requires constant maintenance every time some tax law changes in any state, and great maintenance is something that only the most well funded OSS projects get. And you need participation from lawyers and accountants, not just software developers.

As the article notes, there are already free solutions for people with basic income situations (W-2, some bank interest, no stock sales) making under $66k. Personally, I don't mind paying $100 to turbotax for the peace of mind of knowing that at the very least, they have a staff of tax experts looking over the details of their filing process.

Now, if the IRS came along with an official app that showed me what information they already had and I just needed to make some small adjustments from there (assuming my tax situation isn't complicated), then yeah, I'd use that. And it's a bit crazy that we don't have that. But unlike many countries, we are taxed at both the federal and state levels, which makes the process much more complicated. And to complicate things further, the two interact: I can deduct some of my state taxes from my federal taxes (though less than before). And don't even get me started with the complications of a move from state to state.

EDIT: thinking about this a bit more. What really annoys me about the current system isn't necessarily that I pay to file my taxes. It's that it's so easy to miss things. Maybe i have a bank account that earned $12 in interest and I earned $20 from money that I put into lendingclub.com two years ago. It's annoying that the government has this information, but on the other hand, it's very easy for me to not see (or forget about) the email/snail-mail that I got about this income and then forget to declare it on my taxes. Yes, I know that the IRS isn't sending me to jail for forgetting to pay $5 in taxes, but in general, the process would be much less stressful if I had some kind of centralized reminder of all the income I made.
Vienna's metro population has barely changed from where it was 100 years ago, where Bay area is up 5x in that time.

Not really. Who else was it going to be, it's not like I'm the first to point this out.

> miners don't control who can transact with whom

Of course they do. It's up to them which transactions to include in a block.

> transaction fees are still orders of magnitude lower than the actual flat block reward

People who like bitcoin like to talk about inflation and QE as theft from their pockets. The block reward is a fee extracted from the ecosystem in the same way.

> bitcoin is not pure energy and i never claimed it was

"it's the first time in history we've been able to express and implement monetary value and security thereof in terms of pure energy"

So yeah, you did, you said it was monetary value expressed as pure energy, which is meaningless. It's not a measure of joules, and it's not the hashing which gives it value. Quite the opposite - the speculative value is what attracts the hashpower.

Yes, the US really values the middleman. There is something to be said for it, since middlemen can compete and innovate. In computer science, this is called indirection — it provides more flexibility and without it, you have one-size-fits-all solutions. In the real world, you have for example Uber/Amazon/Apple /Google/Facebook squeezing providers, due to their monopoly powers.

What happens in the real world is that the doctors aggregate (AMA, ADA) and then the patients aggregate (insurance companies) but it never quite gets to a complete single buyer/payer on both sides without government action.

There is also the argument for how many jobs will be lost in X industry if we replace it with a more efficient solution. Here is a recent video of a famous paleoconservative debating it with a famous neoconservative in the US: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YFMcq0Vzsb4

Usually the solution is social democracy - letting the private markets operate but having the government run a single payer system for the basic level of service so sellers compete and buyer’s don’t, and everyone is entitled to the basic level.

Single payer can achieve far lower prices, as can eliminating IP protection. But after a while this may have a deleterious effect on R&D (unless you eliminate the IP protection).

Well, i don't, but my two main gripes is that it seems to be an evolution of WPF which i never liked and that it is tied to a more locked down mobile-like approach that i abhor.

What are you talking about?

I'd say that it hasn't seen any big update since Windows 98 :-P but as long as it works i do not care.

Some do, and you're also going out of your way to require javascript from your site that just displays documents.

The "modern web" is dramatically worse (slower, more compute intensive, less consistent, less secure) than the web used to be. This is mostly because of the tendency to force javascript into places where it was never necessary.
>US is really odd how it emphasizes the benefit of the middleman over the benefit of the individual citizen (it seems).

I wonder what extent this is decided by how we vote. As long as voters pick the politician who prioritizes the middle man and gets their campaign contribution is selected over the politician who prioritizes the public but whose opponent gets the middleman's campaign contribution we will continue to see this behavior. The moral of the story is to look at the voters' actions and not their words. They select candidates based on oftentimes harmful criteria.
Elysium still implies some sort of organized progress. San Francisco seems a lot more like Children of Men.
This isn't so far fetched. Much of the world lives in overpopulated dystopian slums. Kuala Lumpur is covered in walls, spikes and barbed wire. Rio de Janeiro walls off their favelas: https://assets.rbl.ms/14235733/980x.jpg

The question with many cities is the same - is it worth saving? A lot of any city's downfall is often the fault of its older residents. Why do the poor stay? Why do the rich not focus on changing it? Why do communities fail to fix it together?

The obvious answer seems to be moving to somewhere nearby that's cheaper and roomier. But people seem very resistant to this for some reason.
I feel like most people think credit cards are free. They are not, which is why visa and MC are billion dollar companies. The cost has just been shifted in such a way that it's not easily identifiable so people ignore it. There's definitely a cost. If the Bitcoin network can offer a lower overall cost, it could provide actual benefits.
Thanks for engaging, your comments are interesting and thought provoking.

"If there was a compulsion to purchase, the system could work, as it does in many other countries."

Wasn't that one of the major points of Obamacare, to make strides in that direction? And it did pass Supreme Court scrutiny, who decided yes it is a tax, and yes the government is allowed to tax us.

"Lastly you have "Medicare for all" which would basically bankrupt hospitals if you extrapolate from what current Medicare does to them financially."

Across our economy, competition and technology drive higher quality at lower cost. Doctors and hospitals need to have an incentive structure that rewards keeping the most people healthy at the lowest cost. "Capitation" models are meant to provide these incentives, where you don't get paid for "doing things" to patients, like ordering tests or performing surgeries. You get paid a fixed sum per patient to keep them healthy, adjusted for the "risk" associated with the patient (for example, if they have a chronic condition that needs ongoing treatment).

So an intelligent "Medicare for All" system could be designed to incentivize innovation and cost cutting and overall patient health, if implemented intelligently.
They designed it precisely like this because it's a dated design. To use two sensors (or three) would have required new cockpit components and new pilot training, which is what they were trying to avoid by reusing the same Type certificate originally from 1968.

It’s interesting how this guy cherry picks examples. He mentions Sam Altman but declined to mention how Y Combinator is relocating to SF.

What sort of regulations are you looking for? I’m just not sure how regulating a company will end homelessness. Seems like the government should be using taxes to do that.
Such an odd thing to see on HN.
Show HN: newsfilter.io
Looking for feedback. I developed

https://newsfilter.io

It's a real-time news filter and aggregator.

You can create filter channels (eg show only articles containing "Acquisition" published in Israel). Over 100 news sources from 30 countries are supported so far (eg Reuters, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, HN, Times, etc.).

So far, its used by 12 linkedIn influencers in Australia and Canada, 2 hedge fund managers in UK, and a couple of financial news and tech bloggers in India and USA. I personally use it to stay on top of news related to my investments in US equities.

Is it obvious how the filters work?

OpenJDK is the name of the JDK developed primarily by Oracle.

java.com is the website for "consumer-side" Java -- i.e. the desktop JRE. The JRE and "consumer Java" no longer exist (as they've been replaced by jlink), and so the website is out of date and largely irrelevant. I hope someone soon figures out what other use to put it to.

I was restating the line you quoted, and yes precisely SF has very few families compared to other cities in the US. A sister comment seems to indicate that even NYC is 24% (I haven't verified this.) So even for similar urbanization levels SF has very few families.

I agree. The first figure presented out of context is the difference in flight time from the 1960s to today. While some of that is certainly padding, airlines in the 60s actually ran faster.

I used CreditKarma and it took 10-15 minutes... afaik they didn't charge a fee either. This is the second year I have used them. I would prefer a Government solution if it was good, but there are plenty of very low cost/free alternatives out there already so oh well.
The idea that padded schedules leave airlines with no reason to be efficient is idiotic. It’s a heavily capital-intensive industry with razor-thin margins that has historically been a bad place to make money. There’s even a classic joke about it: “How do you make a small fortune in the airlines? Start with a large fortune.”

This is the industry that generated the famous story where American saved $40,000/year by going from two olives to one in their in-flight salad. United saved $300,000/year by printing their magazine on lighter paper. If you work at an airline and find a way to shave off a dime in fuel costs per flight, you’ll get articles written about you. And we’re supposed to believe that these companies don’t care about wasting fuel now that their schedules are padded out a bit?

Gotta say, that doesn't sound like a hack, it sounds like a perfectly normal response to the imperfect nature of async processes and the internet itself. TCP traffic itself behaves in the same way. If a packet arrives out of order, you discard it and notify the other end that the packet was not delivered, allowing it to retry. This is just the same behavior. Web services at their finest.
