> they have to be in significant debt to be able to obtain two fundamental human rights - shelter and transport

The fallacy in this argument is assuming that if you cannot buy your own house and car, there is literally no other way to obtain shelter and transport.

I live in a big German city, though not quite in the city center. (My commute into the city center is 20 minutes by tram.) My monthly expenses for shelter and transport (not counting long-distance trips) come out to 500 € in total. With other non-negotiable expenses (food and insurances), this goes up to about 750 €. Rounding up a bit because there are always unexpected bills, a salary of 1000 € is the minimum that I need to live comfortably, if slightly frugally.
In the US we have sales tax (and even city tax) that varies from state, county, city. Most states also have an income tax.

Do German states have income taxes?
The problem is all those ancient tech items require long term thinking, such as shade trees, masonry, insulation, subterranean, etc... This sounds more like a cultural shift from cheap and fast stick-built: they're spoiled by that mentality but paying the price now.
You don't have a time machine. Economic indicators work every time - until they don't.

>Notice how even getting close to zero spread can sometimes be followed by a recession. But a negative spread always does.

Everything since the last recession is, on some timescale, followed by a recession. So, technically, you'll be correct. But so were the people saying this in each of the years since 2008. If you don't have an upper bound on this, it's unfalsifiable and, when taken as advice, can't be used for any concrete actions.

If investors were as certain as you, a recession would be happening now.
The blog post you link has a bunch of alternatives, but I agree they're not great. If there are a lot of webmasters who want to be able to noindex through robots.txt then making the case for adding noindex to the standard would be a good next step.

A lot of people are stepping out to defend 4chan, but the article isn't about 4chan. It's a detail in the story.

The story is that someone close to the situation leaked details in violation of HIPAA on an internet message board.

errr... sure, if your antivirus is free. There are a lot of good paid antivirus that don't have these problems.

Of course, lately, paying for an antivirus hasn't had the same value - windows defender, the much better browser sandbox and the fact that you don't really download executables anymore have contributed to reducing the risk of going without an anti-virus.

I agree. For the two recessions I’ve lived through, we didn’t arrive at them with everyone well aware it was going to happen. They snuck up and took the country by surprise. The tech bubble burst, and the real estate subprime bubble burst.

We may go into a slump because everyone is expecting a splump to happen because it’s been 10 or so years of a bull run. But I don’t see a full-on recession without a large bubble bursting somewhere in the economy, causing a panic.
Good point about Apple. Self repair seems out of the question.

About your first point, maybe it is naive of me to assume that repair shops acquire laptop repair manuals as soon as they come out and then keep them in case they need to repair a certain model. If this were the case then the only people affected by toshiba’s actions are self repair individuals of which there are few as you point out. If the repair shops rely on databases of these repair manuals then I guess that they are unlikely to tell their disappointed customers that they cannot repair their laptops because they can’t get hold of the manual because the vendor removed them all from the internet.
No human sacrifices? It's slightly in jest, but doesn't that happen as well?
Ask HN: Which Cloud Provider in 2019?

Which provider would you recommend?
You cannot “compete” by selling at a loss, unless you’re competing for the first spot at bankruptcy court.

Whenever I hear about someone selling at a loss, I automatically assume that either they’re buying market share as a long bet (e.g. typical new gaming console) or more commonly misrepresenting the actual economics (e.g. car dealers neglecting to mention all the rebates they get off their supposed price).

The tenants who want to stay in the building aren't going to be paying the same private equity subsidized prices that WeWork were. I'd imagine in some markets wework is such a big customer now that their collapse would cause massive repercussions.
Where I live there are no competitors for the one cable internet ISP (DSL is not available and satellite is n competitive). As such they have not need to worry about losing customers to _competitors_.

Based on this article, I suspect that ISPs like Comcast and Charter are not extending their backbone to handle growing internet traffic. It seems they are charging exorbitant fees to discourage increased usage instead (in this article, the subscriber canceled their Hulu account and lowered the resolution of video supplied by Netflix).
Funnily enough the Linux desktop appears to be slowly but surely catching on.
Late to the thread, but I'm also a Griddy customer in Houston and wanted to put an asterisk on this.

I'm not sure how your friend knows his rate yet. The Griddy interface takes 24-48 hours to update/integrate the smart meter data for a day.

It's possible your friend's data integrates faster than hours, but we still see no summary for Tuesday usage. That said, the charged rate did max out (I think this is a regulatory cap) at around $8.99/kwh for a little over an hour yesterday (and was over $2/kwh for a few hours). I suspect there's been a miscommunication here?

For additional context, Griddy rates update every 5 minutes and just include the base power component (delivery/tax/etc. are roughly fixed per kwh).
My parents bought a house when I was three. When I was 18, my father asked me how to turn on the oven in this house we had lived in for 15 years.

My dad was very old fashioned and never learned to cook. My oldest son found cooking scarily intimidating, though he did eventually learn to cook.

My mother is German and she cooked up a storm, plus sewed and knitted and crocheted. I'm actually one of the least domestic ladies of my extended family. I don't really like cooking and I never learned to sew or crochet or knit or quilt. I feel like some terrible failure of a woman in the eyes of my relatives, but Americans often seem to think I'm some kind of domestic goddess because I stayed home with my children, I cooked dinner most nights and we didn't live in squalor.

My oldest son was saying to me just recently that he thinks something went very wrong somewhere in the world that we don't know how to teach people to cook. Maybe it's some weird American thing.

I wrote a smidgen about him learning to cook here:

Apple Geniuses aren’t trained in electronics & troubleshooting. They get some recipes and when none of those have an answer they fallback to “Lie to the user.”

Source: colleague who was a manager of a Genius team at a big city Apple store.

They are meant to help Apple save face. Put that old school customer service in person touch on things.

It’s not explicitly stated like that in training. They just don’t know, and concoct an answer that the avg customer won’t know is bullshit. It’s how it shakes out given the recipes they’re not allowed to deviate from and the hiring of Apple users, not trained electronics technicians.

> Prepare for the inevitable recession. It's not different this time.

This point is tautological. Of course there will eventually be a recession. No one can say when.

There are different factors in every cycle. The QE period is essentially unprecedented. The rise of tech stocks in the last 20 years is a once-in-a-century type structural change in the economy.

It's fair to say the market is currently closer to the top than the bottom and above the historical mean and a reversion to mean is inevitable but whether the current mode goes on for days, months or even years is anyone's guess.

To me WeWork just looks like the stock market with leverage and extra management fees.
Walmart is the retailer. With third party sellers Amazon is not. So they sidestep sales tax (in the UK anyway) and various consumer protections. With this change Amazon becomes the retailer in all but name. I hope the tax authorities and consumer groups take note.
There are a couple of issues with this. It's a well-known effect in management theory that workers behave differently when they know they're being observed. Also, presumably most of their tenants employ knowledge workers not factory floor workers, and so data about how often they go to the bathroom or how many steps they take in an hour is probably a lot less relevant than tracking what they're doing on their computers.
Muscles (ie meat) are organs too.

It's a good reminder that our bugs have real world implications.
Front-end often has longer data transformation pipelines than back-end, and that leads to the complexity you mention.

If you treat it as a programming problem, you can write better front-end code by shoring up on your ability to compose, glue, and modularize code. You also need a way to represent front-ends as a data structure rather than a sequence of imperative actions. Data is easier to think about - imagine if instead of HTML you had to write imperative code to paint everything on the screen - that kind of code can get tangled up easily and make it difficult to understand or modularize the code.

In this vein, using a library that lets you think of the front-end as data ('declarative') rather than imperative DOM mutation (with jQuery etc.) is an important thinking tool.

A way to short-circuit the amount of learning associated with this is to pick-up tools that have already reified this knowledge, so that by learning the tool you pick up the many mental models they embody. I suggest either Reason (with ReasonReact) or Elm as great starting point. Pursue their homepages, toss a coin, pick the one that appeals to you on first blush.

Both these languages are typed functional languages. Types here are tools of thought - especially the ability to represent data as One of Many (sum types) - will forever add a dimension to the way you model data. Functional programming is a toolkit of methods that let you compose and glue code together, and while it wouldn't appear that they attack the problems you're facing head on (should I add yet another conditional here, or should I extract another function that looks almost the same vs DRY etc.), those are exactly the problems you'll be able to confidently answer after you've practiced in this paradigm for a while.

HN users are typically the ones choosing to flag stories. I imagine the usual reason stories like this are flagged are because they attract a lot of discussion in bad faith.
Why is is hard to believe that any of the probably 20 or 30 people involved in managing his death went it 4chan to post about it? There were many people who knew of his death beforehand from jail personnel, prison guards, EMT, hospital nurses, Doctors, other hospital staff.

Why wouldn’t one of them have just broken the news? Frankly I don’t see how it’s worse for them to break the news to 4chan than for the prison to break it to ABC news. He was dead and they announced it. Why does everything have to be “official”?
Improbable. Liveleak, Abovetopsecret, WorldStarHipHop, and Twitter (to some extent) all have unregulated news feeds, are pretty popular, and have "in-groups". They all have content moderation to stay on LE's good side and despite hosting violent content, actively try to prune content that violates laws. This includes 4Chan. 8Chan was a different story though, there was almost 0 effort to moderate content. Few people seem to remember a couple of the largest boards on 8Chan for some time were pro-pedophilia boards, and they stayed up for quite some time. Of course, the actual underbelly of those boards were composed of creating and sharing material through other sites and applications, and announcing this through 8chan. They could not take down the board without defeating the purpose of the site, and could not keep it up without voluntarily allowing for a breeding ground for illegal material, so many of their vendors wanted them off their platform for a while because they could not be moderated effectively.

I think it boils down to - can you reasonably catch illegal content being routed through your platform? 4chan, LiveLeak, WorldStar, ATS, and Twitter all have ways of doing this, 4chan's may be more crude because there are certain things you cannot do on 4chan because of the way the site is designed (for instance, webm's with sound are isolated to a few boards, so you lose a channel of communication when posting them outside of those boards, and you cannot upload documents directly except through labyrinthine methods, many users don't want to click a link and be taken to a different site so you lose that population, etc.), but it does the job to LE's standards. Many people hate it, but there is no benefit in taking it down because the culture would simply migrate elsewhere.

There’s now also moral hazard too with the rise of indexing and retirement. They need to keep the WHOLE stock market up. Many fewer investors now do any research and chose companies based on fundamentals. The companies that exist today must exist forever into in roughly the same proportions to keep SP 500 index from falling too heavily.

Companies exploit this relationship now by destroying their balance sheets and using buybacks to boost their relative market caps vs other companies to capture more passive investment money flow.

There’s a good argument (elsewhere) that because vanguard of we’ve entered a pseudo communist market system.
I'd be interested in hearing your internal thought process on why you spelled it that way. I took it to be a private joke that you had forgotten about your "cloud-to-butt" plugin again. That is, an intentional aside to amuse yourself and some small subset of readers, but irrelevant to the public point you were making.

On the other hand, 'skinnymuch' is right that there are a lot of people who unconsciously subvert their own messages by using similar childish insults based creative spellings. You are obviously aware of this likely misreading, but chose to make the bad joke anyway. I quite likely would have done the same, but why did you do it this time?

@skinnymuch: Accept that it was a joke. You are right that it was indistinguishable from a non-joke, but this is part of the joke. It's hard to account for people's taste in humor.

A monthly bandwidth limit corresponds to a lower average bandwidth. For instance, if my calculations aren't wrong, a monthly limit of 1TB corresponds to an average bandwidth limit of around 400KB/s, even if your link should be capable of much more than that.
I have about 150 games downloaded to my primary console. Not all of them are that big, but a good number of them are huge. Looking at my firewall logs, it's pulled down 400GB in the last 30 days. I've only installed one new game in that time. Updates for huge games can also be huge.

Also, things other than my Xbox Ones use bandwidth. They are just the largest single consumer of it.

It doesn't cover dental at all, and I pay up to $4,000 annually in co-pays on top of those monthly premiums. Counting dental, my family of four pays roughly $32k/year for medical expenses.

The segments are an outgrowth of exploration. Electronic music is constantly evolving. New beats, styles, sounds, etc. Producers build on what others have done, influence each other, DJ each other's music, etc. When a new sound or style emerges, many producers jump on the bandwagon to explore the possibilities within the constraints of that particular segment. Constraint breeds creativity.
