As a free market type, I don't see the supposed conflict at all. A free market is more or less orthogonal to the legislative process. Free market types should absolutely want the legislature to be careful not to adopt laws which subtly distort the market in favor of some versus others.

Managing stocks is easy. Buy winners and hold them. That's how Berkshire Hathaway earned their billions. They're not day-traders.

Contribution is the surest path to financial success. The more value you can contribute and capture, the more wealth our society will reward you with.

The Earth's resources are miniscule compared to the wider universe.

For example, there's a near earth asteroid that we discovered that has enough platinum to turn every person on earth into a billionaire at the current prices.

That's just one of tens of thousands of near earth objects.

Plus, there's millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt when we exhaust those.

Finally, we're already starting to mine them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_mining

So we are not restricted by resources.

Regardless, we live in an information economy that is mainly driven by credit and debt, not mining of resources.
It's totally adam smith, also the author of "the theory of moral sentiment" which is a fantastic exposition about why as societies we coordinate our morals and ethics. "Free market type"s are often the first to complain about regulatory capture.

Well actually... They were innovated by the Spanish in the Ten Years War before Churchill was even born. Nor do we or did we ignore Stalin - he was, at best, thought to be a necessary anti Nazi evil.

p.s. Churchill was a war correspondent during the Boer War. No one in the military would have listened even if he had thought them up at that time.
The problem that I would see is that since wealth tends to be passed on to future generations, without growth it would be difficult for those who currently are not wealthy to ever become wealthy.

This is maybe a similar point, but it also seems to me that the without growth we would need to come up with some alternative to 401ks in order to allow people to build wealth.
It's legal for them to do this, sure. It may even make business sense. But should a society lets them do this?

It makes it dangerous for drivers too! Lane changes and merges are generally relatively dangerous, and every double-parked truck (or car) forces a spontaneous and often unexpected lane merge. Sometimes they even force driving on the wrong side of the street!
Anecdatum - a local failing newsagent (UK) is the UPS pickup point and I've not had a single problem with them. In fact I prefer picking up from them because UPS delivery times are verging on fictitious. I think it may keep the newsagent afloat and that's absolutely fine by me if I can pickup my packages from them, because they're not going to exist for much longer just selling the curious mixture of indigestion tablets, cat fancier magazines and third-rate chocolate biscuits that they do currently in their windowless hovel.
It's things like this that make me wish I could sit in on developer interviews more. People I interview are generally on the systems administration and operations side.

For those positions I'm trying to get a sense of troubleshooting ability, teamwork capability, ability to admit you were wrong, creativity, how thorough your documentation will be, how descriptive your ticket detail will be, attitude towards projects vs reactive work, and whether you want to be a maker or a doer.

I'd love to see how a pair programming interview works, and I know that I'd be utterly awful as a candidate in such a process. Hopefully I'd learn something ;)
> or whether it was a mistake to say that out loud

Why should it be considered a mistake to say good things about a competitor? I know many company representatives avoid it very strictly, but to me it shows intelligence, honesty and awareness of the rest of the industry, which are all good things.

Notably though Apple very rarely compares their products to competitors', because they want to show it as in a completely different class.

How did you get that Intel and Microsoft failed in mobile "markets" because they had backwards compatibility with 32-bit and 16-bit apps? (I'm thinking you might not know the difference between RISC and CISC --hint: one is not better. than the other.)

> So instead of using the die space saved by removing 32 bit support and using it for some combination of increasing performance, improving battery life, decreasing die size etc they should have left it and suffered?

Removing the 32-bit instructions/registers isn't what achieves the performance and battery life improvements, those come from eliminating the RAM, cache-misses and context-switches dedicated to the 32-bit apps and that can be more than offset by not activating the 32-bit environment at all, unless it is actually needed by the user for legacy compatibility.

> Apple was able to port their core OS to 128Mb RAM/400Mhz iPhone back in 2007

Note that MS ported their core to a 4Mb RAM 36MHz Velo-1 back in 1997 and many Chinese manufacturers make low power chips like that (for DVD players, TV sets, etc.) that ship with operating systems that have exactly the same APIs (knock offs) of Win16 and Win32.

> 2007. Since then, they’ve ported it to everything from watches, tablets, and set top boxes. Microsoft has tried and failed in each of those markets.

You might want to look into Xbox, Surface, Foldable Surface the old Casio watch and what kind of boat anchor Apple's Darwin has been for realtime embedded devices like Apple Watch.
People seek leadership, regardless of who provides it. That said, don't be a dick and actively undermine the tech lead with the team (especially behind his/her back), that makes you just as bad or even worse.

That said, you can start providing leadership by helping people get back on the right track, and help work on team morale. You should "help" the tech lead even if they don't want it (aren't asking for it) by helping people get organized, see the true schedule and make sure work is done timely as best you can. Help people see things can be different, everyone just has to get on the same page etc. Challenge the tech leads timelines/estimates directly but not by being actively confrontational but showing why you feel the estimate is low or wrong. For example, if you and the team feel it is a 4 week effort for a feature set but the lead is saying 2 weeks, challenge the details on why it should be 4 weeks, bring up all the time sensitive tasks he/she is glossing over. Doing this in a meeting with the team and tech lead during planning is good, as long as you are doing it respectfully and with the goal of getting the best result -- the team will support you if you are right. You won't be able to fix all problems, but you can have a huge impact on a team if you demonstrate and provide leadership. I have personally done this in the past and it makes a huge difference for teams.

Work on the team morale by talking to people about non-work things, get to know them and use some humor and get people having some fun. It amazes me how many engineering leaders just don't get how people work & function. Getting people to smile and have a little fun makes a huge difference in how they work and who they will support.

If the leadership team above your tech lead is decent, they'll see the differences and you will likely be moved to a different role where you can have a bigger impact. Don't hide that you are helping (you have to be your own cheerleader to some degree) but don't run around beating on your chest either. Humble but not hiding is how I like to describe it.
Some of us free market types realize there is a difference between the corporatism of today’s world, and the capitalism of where we’d like to be. And that often regulation needs to be in place to protect capitalism from the tyranny of corporatism. Unfortunately the “free market” and “capitalism” are exactly the words corporatists use to get voters on their sides.

There is current a war between UE4/Epic and Unity in the AEC market (Architecture, Engineering and Construction.) You need to understand this in that context.

https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/feed/all/AEC

https://unity.com/solutions/architecture-engineering-constru...

The first move happened with Autodesk releasing Stringray and tying it tightly to 3DS Max. Stingray was not super popular (from what I hear) but its business motivations were real -- there was real-time visualization needs in AEC. UE4 and Unity then started to build out in this area.

I haven't actually seen numbers to back up that there is a viable market here, but there is belief there is a market by all involved parties (Autodesk with Stingray, Epic and Unity.)
Economic malinvestment will always be a phenomenon that arises naturally in a free market - its a product of imperfect information. Thus, isolated booms and busts are also a natural occurence in an economy as companies that aren't profitable shutdown due to aforementioned judgement errors.

The fundemental question behind the development of Austrian monetary theory is not why there are booms and bust, but why these errors of judgement occur throughout the economy in often times very different sectors at the same time. Turns out this is more often than not because of significant, and crucicially, artificial distortions to the price system that causes resources to be put to use in places where they otherwise would not be, and creates illusions of profits to those who control said resources (individual employees, investors, executivies in companies etc.). Eventually the law of scarcity catches up, and the bust materialises and prices realign themselves (through deflation, which establishment economists are terrified of) to what they should be in a natural price system.

The only way to avoid this inevitable deflationary collapse of prices is to continue the illusion, of course, which is what central banks have been doing since 2008. This makes the eventual realignment much worse though since the price system continues to be distorted to an extent larger than it previously was.

The panics that occured prior to the instatement of the Federal Reserve were more often than not caused by either inflationary policies pursued by the the Treasury and general government interference, as was the case in the panic of 1907 in an effort to save overleveraged banks, or overextension of credit (and consequent overexpansion of the money supply) by fractional-reserve banks. In most cases however, these recessions resolved themselves rather quickly and did not lead to prolonged depressions and recovery periods like we saw in the 1930s during the Great Depression.

I have a subscription to YouTube Music (premium). But I still download my music the old way because most of the time my data is off on my mobile. And it's how I like to listen to music for more than 20 years :-)

It would be nice to have a bot that could pretend that I am listing to some of my best artists so that they can get their pennies from the streaming companies.

Is there anything like that? It would help music fans to pay their favorites artists through the streaming companies?
Yes, it makes it more dangerous for everyone. A big problem is when intersections are daylighted (i.e. there are no parking buffers near the intersection to provide clear sight lines for safe turning), but then people park illegally in the no parking buffers anyway. Now you as a driver or cyclist are much more likely to hit, or be hit by, something unexpected in the intersection, because you can't see it coming nearly fast enough.

As a cyclist, even greens are dangerous enough (from cars running reds or pedestrians jaywalking) that I slow way down when I come up to a green with poor visibility, because it's simply not safe to trust the green.
The Austrian school has gotten nothing right, and if it ever became influential it would spell the end of capitalism. If Austrian were allowed to hold sway, Marx' idea that capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction would prove true.

In the US, the incentive (that is offered to me) for delaying an Amazon shipment is a $1 digital credit (details quoted below). I have no use for Amazon's digital credits since I consume all of my media via YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, and the ebooks offered by local public library.

It isn't all that great in practice. At first, they were offering a dollar off music purchases (which I wasn't making). Once i moved to an area that no longer had 2 hour delivery (prime now) they started offering coupons for prime now orders... I HAD been using that on occasion, but couldn't any longer.

It's almost like it was a gimmick that they didn't really care about...

How would somebody implement this for a team with versioning, source code view, and deployment?
My sibling comments seem to all want to attribute this foresight to Jobs alone. Jobs had an organization of designers and engineers informing him. Not only informing, but collaborating. He’d express a vision, others would help shape and hone based on existing tech, or based on how they could build new tech, and eventually Jobs would present the vision and solution publicly.

And Jobs would take credit. And the process probably didn’t feel collaborative to the other employees. My point is that Jobs didn’t come up with these things all on his own. Other employees were heavily involved.
I had all of that in my last place (quite hackily assembled). Honestly though you'll still have issues with the walls reflecting to much light and stuff like that.

HOWEVER, the major downside in comparison to a cinema is that there's nothing stopping me from pulling out my phone, or keeping my notifications on, or pausing it to go do something else. The level of immersion in a difficult to watch film can be totally destroyed (e.g. good luck trying to sit through the Turin Horse in your living room, the mood of the film will be totally destroyed by a few pauses).
Yeah, 10 years ago a venue receiving threats had to purchase additional insurance, hire additional security, and run a SWAT team like surveillance operation. After that became routine, every venue that can host any gathering of any size became a security sink that ate attention and distracted potential opportunities as public levels of casual violence simply skyrocketed to the levels we see today.
Ask HN: Which productivity tools do you use and why?
I'll start:
- Calendar, Todos: Google Calendar -> I found that I do all my chores if I set aside time for them so Google calendar does the job because it's not too cluttered
- Habits: Habitify -> it's not really satisfactory but after testing them all at least has the best UI
- Notes: Paper notebook/ Notion -> Notion is just super flexible and gives me a feeling of progress

The coupons I've seen are $1 per delayed order, and that money can only be spent on digital goods like e-books. It's not enough of an incentive for me to do it because I don't particularly want to acquire DRM-encumbered digital goods.
I wonder how many people think it was unreasonable due to how you had to send back the page to be truly valid; application/xhtml+xml, application/xml, or text/xml. Due to IIS, browser support, and the platforms I personally used, that was the only requirement I never felt I had to meet.

I personally agree with you, and still close my tags, use quotes around attribute values, and provide empty/duplicate values when needed.

I also still use XML for data storage, and used ColdFusion back in the 6/7 days, so that probably had a influence on my choices.
We can blame Exxon and greedy capitalists as much as we want but this is the textbook example of a system with perversive incentives. Human society, and I would even argue human nature in itself, presents us with the wrong system of incentives for self preservation at scale.
Completely unrelated. ORCA is an actor protocol, Pony uses rust-like compile-time ensured ownership attributes and extends that to refs and copies as method arguments.

GHC uses a slow and traditional non-moving mark & sweep collector, and extended that to be fully concurrent. That's still a long way to a good compacting collector.
Worth noting that suspicion towards 'merchant' types was not new back then, afaik it dates back at least to Ancient Athens and was one of the tenets of their democracy: rich people were excluded from the political process entirely. You could either become rich or participate in politics, not both — in a direct democracy, no less.

The rationale, which apparently seemed quite well-accepted back then, is anachronically explained above by Adam Smith — who I'm sure was well-written in his Ancient studies.
I remember not understanding that talk.
They knew about the dangers of climate change since the 1970s and pumped millions into climate change denial think tanks and did everything they could to prolong their dirty business a bit longer, while externalizing all the cost and hauling them upon the public they were actively misleading.

It'd be a different thing if they hadn't tried to hide the findings of their own scientists and hadn't spent that much resources to discredit people actually trying to get us to fix stuff.

They're guilty as hell. Morally, probably even legally.
Too bad that they don't provide any reasoning for this labelling. Also it isn't clear to me over which time span they were looking at individuals to make the label decision, i.e. are they considering sessions or just single clicks with subsequent bookings?
