Economic contraction isn't necessarily a bad thing so long as it is a cautious, thoughtful and controlled contraction that gets rid of the kind of spoilage that festers into a crash.
Money losing its value would be even worse for negative-nominal-rate lending. In a high/hyperinflationary environment, you'd look to hold easily stored goods that maintain their real value, and thus cancel inflation.

What would explain the current scenario, where lenders will lend at negative rates, is:

a) investing opportunities suck, and

b) they can't reliably hold their dollars/kroners anywhere cheaply.
Exactly. There is no way for these sites to reach mainstream advertisers who might be interested. Google has the keys to all of them

Similar with payment processors. Nudity or even porn is increasingly accepted today, yet paypal won't touch it, so these sites have to deal with subpar and expensive payment providers
Hi, OP here. Would love to get some feedback from HN community.
I am not sure when Tesla began offering something with that brand. It seems like the term started gaining traction in about 2013 when some people in the fashion industry started describing pleather clothes as vegan leather.
Heh, Big Commerce is on here. I used to make money writing scripts for Big Commerce stores in high school.
Yes, that's certainly possible. Also, you can choose between different effect systems, e.g.: Cats Effect, Monix and Scalaz ZIO
The whole thread follows from a comment that the number of bankruptcies doesn't matter if he's rich. The point is not that he's rich. It's whether he's increased or decreased the fortune he was given. If he's given $413 million and now has less than that, he's not a good business man. Since we are blocked from all his finances, we don't know where he stands now, but the multiple bankruptcies and NYTimes investigation suggests he's not accumulated wealth more than spent it.

I mean, 500 million is still pretty damn rich in my books. Sure he inherited it all, and has poorly managed the rest, but he is still rich by any normal person's metrics.
This is nice ...

I'll counter: There have been quite a few instances of FB friends like this in my life. I rarely deny a friend request or go on deleting sprees. If I meet someone doing interesting things, I'll be the requestor even. What happens occasionally is I find out someone I spoke with in person for only a few minutes, reveals over weeks, months, or even years, has very similar interests, humor style, etc. Comments on each other's post increase in frequency, until the fake friend becomes a real one after reaching out via a message that doesn't really come off as odd at all at this point. Who I do find myself unfriending is those I dated briefly that inevitably get married and have kids. Good for them, but time to disconnect. As I grow older, I realize more friends are a function of convenience. Your "real friends" will go on to do things in their life that distance them from you, and seem less like real friends, and your "fake friends" will become real friends when it seems logical. This ebb and flow may seem ugly to some, that would prefer to view all their friends as genuine stakeholders in their life with unwavering caring, and some of that does happen, but there is beauty in friendships being temporal as well.
Scientists Discover a Cure for the Deadliest Strain of Tuberculosis
Tariff money is supposed to subsidize the industries harmed by the tariff. There is an inequality in goods in which the US has a major advantage. To put it simply, it's much easier for us to grow soy than it is for China to replicate our technology. Furthermore, the Chinese economy is not doing nearly as well as the US which means we are in a position of power at the moment. It is extremely important that the US minimizes its trade deficit even if it's a dose of medicine for the consumer that they don't initially like. They will like it when jobs move back to the US or even Mexico that were once overseas.

People wonder where all this wealth inequality is coming from when it's as plain as day. The inequality is coming from the fact that large companies are taking jobs that were performed domestically, and shipping them overseas where there are less regulations and cheaper labor. They then sell that same good at the same price to the domestic consumer who no longer has that job. Do that with enough industries and only the people who actually own the company stand to come out on top. That is why the middle class is shrinking.

The idea of injecting money into the economy by lowering interest rates works but people usually only get loans for houses or cars. No one buys their groceries with loans so they are ineffective at increasing prices in consumer goods and thereby lowering interest rates does not affect inflation despite the massive cash injection.
I would also agree with you. They seem to have a focus on some top tier locations for their brand. IWG/Regus is not nearly so fancy...but they do have more locations, more suburban coverage, and usually in typical office parks. Which, FWIW, probably benefits a more money-ready segment of the population...middle class, middle aged, professional class.
Yeah, we need a "reboot to safe mode" economy... stop all economic activity for luxury and just allow things for survival. So, mangoes from Latin America? Gone. Hollywood movies? Gone. That stupid Uberesque startup? Fuck off and take this shovel, they want you to plough the field!

I’m still using it since 2009 everyday. For design inspiration. As a moodboard. And still works as in the good old days.

Tumblr made me a better designer. By catching up with the latest in print and graphic design and porting thse trends to web I had a work featured very early in Brutalist Websites.

I use no other social network. It’s simply too much. And yes a heart is good enough.
Yeah, who needs sophistication anyway? Let's go back to painting caves and naval gazing.
came to say this. you might not think a 1TB cap is onerous now...
> It’s equivalent to 3 mbps

If it were equivalent, you could take any random person's 100 or 200 or 400 mbps service that has a 1 TB per month cap and replace it with 3 mbps uncapped and they would not care.

As someone currently on 400 mbps plan with a 1 TB cap, I can assure you that I would care, and would strenuously object to any such replacement.

I don't have 400 mbps so that I can download more than I could when I had slower plans. I have 400 mbps so I don't have to wait as long for downloads to finish.

While the press will blame trade tensions with China for this, in reality the US economy has been doing well lately, however outside the US the other major economies have not been growing. Ranging from plateauing to shrinking. That is the real reason we are seeing this correction.

Spot on, before women worked (im not saying they shouldnt) one person could earn enough to buy most of the same houses we have today, yet now 2 people have to work to get any kind of basic progress. The toll it takes on children is clear, parents are too tired and therefore let their kids do whatever, the neglect creates the future generation of depressive, anxious adults who dont know their role.

We actually had to learn about and do a small manual photography project for my wildlife biology class in school. The idea was that we needed to learn to take proper pictures for samples and other things under different conditions. It actually ended up being pretty fun and made me appreciate more the work that goes into taking really nice pictures.
This is like saying analog music is too segmented because both rock and metal are played with guitars. Imagine searching a huge "analog music" catalog for hours and hours until you stumble on Country music. You would go through so many other genres until stumbling on what you were looking for.

People make music first and labels appear after.

An example I like is Witch House. The name was originally conceived as a joke:

"Myself and my friend Shams were joking about the sort of house music we make, [calling it] witch house because it’s, like, occult-based house music. I did this best-of-the-year thing with Pitchfork about witch house. I was saying that we were witch house bands, and 2010 was going to be the year of witch house. It took off from there. But, at the time, when I said witch house, it didn’t even really exist..."

"Shortly after being mentioned to Pitchfork, blogs and other mainstream music press began to use the term. Flavorwire said that despite Egedy's insistence, 'the genre does exist now, for better or worse'."

Successful people who have means and aren't building bunkers are pursuing pipe dreams merely because they aren't building bunkers? So any CEO who chooses not to build a bunker is pursuing nothing but pipe dreams? Talk about sloppy thinking.

> It's not a lack of commitment to the ideal they're pursuing, it's a recognition that the ideal is rarely achieved fully.

But what is actually the ideal here? My initial point was that tech companies talk about making the world a better place, but the jury is still out on whether that's reality for many of them.

Bear in mind that civilizations like the Roman Empire fell largely because the wealthy became too corrupt and inept to govern. In our current environment, what are the largest factors that could precipitate a collapse of our society? Famine due to climate change and massive financial collapse are two of the more likely scenarios, for example.

These bunker builders could do a lot more to prevent these scenarios from happening with the amount of social and financial capital they have. (i.e. hammering home the persistent dangers of climate change, stabilizing income inequality so we don't completely fall into serfdom again, etc.)

But no, they're content making their millions, doing nothing to move society in a positive direction, and building their bunkers because "the poor people chose to be poor", or whatever it is they tell themselves these days.

When I was taught English it was most definitely frowned upon and disparaged as “at best an Americanism”. It is grating to the native British ear and has no place in formal writings. There is no situation where it cannot be avoided by rephrasing the sentence (usually, by no more than employing “will be going”, but occasionally resorting to other constructs). During the IB we were absolutely forbidden from using it and would be marked down severely.
Yup makes sense! I've been getting this request a lot over the past few days so almost certainly going to add it soon.
There are so many times when I shoot with Manual mode. I'm not a professional, but I would consider myself a skilled photographer, and have used multiple brands and systems.

There's Manual with Auto ISO, which does almost the same as Aperture/Shutter priority, but lets you select _both_, and the camera chooses an ISO. Or you can specify the ISO as well.

Nikon, Sony, and Canon all have _excellent_ metering systems, but there are two main reasons I sometimes ignore them and go full-manual:

1. In tricky lighting environments, where a face is in shadow, but another is not, and zone or spot metering is causing the camera to meter for the wrong part of the frame. Think dimly-lit weddings, PJ scenarios in night scenes...

2. When you're shooting something with a uniformly-lit area (e.g. stage, sanctuary, podium area) and you can lock in the exposure so you don't accidentally get a few frames underexposed because the meter was looking at the black curtain and not the bright face you focused on.

It's not often, but I'd say I switch to M at least once on almost every on-location shoot, whether natural or artificial light.
IIRC, their argument is that marketing builds brand awareness, and brand awareness is a capital good.
I feel like you're misinterpreting this project completely. There is an intersection between "slavery" and "america". On a venn diagram, this project is intended to illustrate just how large that intersecting segment is compared to the "america" circle. The relative size of the "slavery" circle is what you're referring to in this comment, but it's an almost unrelated subject.
As a security researcher, I would like to present a counterpoint to the general discussion here, unpopular though it may be: Access to the internet is a privilege, not a right. There is nothing in the US Constitution regarding the internet. An individual is not required to use the internet to communicate with another person, this is a matter of convenience, ergo privilege, but not a right. Along with face to face meetings, letters and phone calls, individuals are also, through the power of software, allowed to implement their own encryption over existing communications channels.

The internet has been a force of good, but also a force of evil, in this world. Rapid dissemination of personal opinion masquerading as fact has lead to extremism and polarization across the globe, this is undeniable. Some degree of accountability needs to be introduced into the system for the internet to reach the next level of maturity. The government is allowed to access your telephone records. The corporation holds your records to a certain date as mandated by law, and hands them over when a lawful request (warrant) is made. Full-on disk encryption and end-to-end encryption make it impossible for the government to access those records even when a lawful request is made. Note that the Fourth amendment states unreasonable searchs and seizures. That does not mean the individual is allowed to be impervious to searches and seizures. The reasonableness clause protects the interests of the state and allows courts to decide yay or nay on a case by case basis. That is the very intent and spirit of the law.

Currently technology, not law, is the gatekeeper, and technology is controlled by corporations. In a lawful society, this is untenable in the long-term. If anything, it enables tyranny by corporations, since they are unelected and not responsible to the public, whereas elected governments, in fact, are. The history of US is replete with cases where corporations have grown too powerful and governments required new laws to counter the threat they presented to society.
Real question:

When this doesn't happen, what becomes of the handwringing and the doomsaying? Do we just forget the errors and self-interested lies, and treat the people disingenuously emoting over this nothing, like good people?

Serious question.

Someone else will do it by then. Also, i dont think so - facebook has been better at giving traffic to other sites - unlike google they dont usually scrape and rehost them .
I think a big part of that is because most people don’t care at all about economics in a video game. When you’re mostly competing with children and people who just want to game and don’t care about being rich, putting any sort of organized effort toward getting rich becomes substantially easier. EVE is like this too. These people are also often derided as “not actually playing” the game.
Well, there are always outliers.
This made me laugh out loud:

> Cable executives prefer not to call them caps, referring instead to “data plans” and saying it’s a matter of fairness. People who use more bandwidth should pay more, they say, especially since capacity isn’t unlimited

If any internet provider or cell provider offered reasonable pay per GB data rates without an unreasonable minimum monthly usage charge, I would be all over it. Google Phi is probably by far the closest thing I've ever seen, but Comcast & Verizon are absolutely not willing to let me pay only for what I use, so it's very funny to hear rationalizing quotes about "fairness".
It depends a lot on how much ridesharing companies pass on any labor cost decreases to consumers, and consumers' demand curves.

Personally, my ridesharing use is a mix of relatively inelastic demand and elastic demand. Inelastically I am almost always going to use ridesharing to get to/from the airport, go places in other cities where I don't have a car and public transportation is too complex to figure out. I will usually use ridesharing if it is significantly faster and only $10 or so more expensive compared to public transportation that I can figure out. The only thing I would really reduce is using ridesharing to go out drinking - but if that becomes significantly cheaper, maybe not

You're absolutely right about this, and it is something we have and are considering everyday. I will be honest and say, at the moment, we do not have a perfect solution yet.

One of the things we looked into before starting the company was a paper that mentioned the Portland project, which showed that gentrification and displacement are not always synonymous. There, the neighborhood was completely gentrified, but the locals benefited greatly, because many of their home prices increased in value, and many owned local businesses that benefited from the influx with affluent people.

One of our goals is to see how we can use our data and business to make gentrification more like the Portland project. One idea has been to provide our data and analytics to city governments for free, so they can act faster in regards to setting up affordable housing.

In the meantime, our customers will be buying the homes, so someone has to act as the seller. If a local resident was the owner of the property, then hopefully, they benefit from the sale (we recommend our customers offer the "listing price" and not negotiate at all). If they are the renter, then current California laws should provide them a lot of protection.

It's not perfect of course, but we are looking for better alternatives.
Thanks, that's good feedback. Considering Auth0 next. Any other ones I should consider?
This is a worthy effort but for a better educational experience it should indicate at the beginning that slavery is still completely legal in the US per the 13th amendment to the Constitution:

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
The thing is that producing the same amount of leather releases orders of magnitude more toxic chemicals into the environment than producing the same amount of plastics.
IMO, we’ve reached the diffusion limit of innovation in ridesharing. Autonomous is a pipe dream and in a recession, human drivers will be cheap.

Uber and Lyft lose money because they’re over-hiring talent and they’re consolidating their monopolies via marketing/market share wars. When the bubble pops, people are going to stick to MS and Apple - they’re not going to jump to Amiga or BeOS.

New Proof Settles Ancient Question of How to Approximate Numbers Like Pi
Approximate facts from Finland: Bachelors program is 3 years and Masters (which basically everybody does) is extra 2. There was a major shift from direct subsidies to government-backed loans on 2017 but first I'll refer to the benefits I got.

My university fees were about 100 eur / year + books etc. Housing was subsidized by 80% so if you live on the campus on a shared two-bedroom unit you had to pay out of pocket maybe 50 - 60 eur / month. In addition I got a "salary" of 330 eur / month while studying, so not in summer break during which I was doing internship. You can get a student loan as well, up-to 400 eur / month. If you graduate on time the government will pay 40% of your student loan on the part in the excess of 2500 euros.

Under the new system students get paid 250 eur / month + the 80% housing cost (up to a limit), and can get up-to 650 eur / month loan. You are expected to work during the summer and there are still no benefits. If you graduate on time the government will pay 30% of your student loan on the part in the excess of 2500 euros.

After graduating and working for some years you can expect a salary of 3500 - 4500 eur / month which is about 2500 - 3000 eur / month after taxes. Here the salary differences are very small across jobs and tax progression is fairly high as well. Add employer's expenses and 24% VAT and then hardly anyone can afford to hire someone to clean their home once a month so everybody does it themselves instead.

Yes I agree. When you struggle with mental health, you often feel like you are completely alone. But when you meet other's who are going through the same issues you are (or maybe worse) it makes you realize you're not alone and it's less frightening then. It's not necessarily about getting together and complaining or pitying one another, but it's about sharing your experiences to help people understand people more. If you bottle up anxiety or depression it makes it 10x worse, communication is key.
This is worse on LinkedIn. Every recruiter wants to connect with you blindly before they'll share details about some mysterious job they have in their pocket, just waiting for you.

If you keep LI to only people you've actually spent more than 4 weeks working with, it becomes a lot more sane.
It needn't be a "collapse", could be a protracted period of little to no growth, and most indications are that it will start in a couple of years at most.
