The regulations lead to the situation that Boeing had an incentive to do that. Nearly every economist will confirm you that economy is all about incentives.

Yeah, just off the top of my head; I think there may be some more compelling reasons: inheriting a planet primed for environmental disaster, technology addiction and constant inundation of information which frustrates the addict, knowledge that they'll enter into the game of capitalism against opponents with stacked decks, the utter nonsense that is our binary and extreme politics - and the infighting which stifles progress for all, the ever weakening power of labor relative to capital and the realization that most people aren't able to contribute meaningfully to nor influence the trajectory of human progress and are instead destined for adult day-care etc.

I'd argue on ClickHouse not even being that fast (compared to comparable technology like Snowflake, Redshift or BigQuery) but actually the ScyllaDB example being completely misleading. Scylla is probably one of the fastest OLTP datastores, yet they're benchmarking an analytics query — which is pretty easy to crack by any columnar datastore.

The actual point here is that you can execute millions of (different!) individual queries per second on ScyllaDB, which beats any columnar datastore hands down. ClickHouse "cheated" here by translating the (unfortunate) benchmark setup into a single query that's extremely heavily optimized under the hood.

I'm not familiar with the backend of Goodreads but perhaps one tiny step forward would be for the book page to not open for ratings/comments prior to review copy distribution. And because review copy users already have to on-board (in some way) to get those copies, Goodreads could provide an integration point for authors to plug that reader list in and only let those folks respond initially, with restrictions lifting at launch.

Anyway, I wish them best of luck. This problem is widespread, see: Amazon, Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, et al.

Why does a business need to appease one agency or another for the privilege of operating? If it’s dangerous to have them in that location they should be prohibited - if it isn’t, they should be allowed to operate their business without preconditions.

> Nuclear also has a lot of fearmongering and red tape around it. Plants are reaching their EOL and in many cases new ones are not being built due to the cost of getting through all the red tape (getting approval from the feds down to local government, dealing with inevitable NIMBY lawsuits, etc). Renewables are the future, but we aren't fully in the future yet.

This is a common trope.

I can't work out where you live, but I do often see this line of reasoning put forward by residents of the USA, who overlook the fact that 'the feds' don't regulate what happens in the other 95% of the planet, and yet other parts of the world are equally disinterested in building more nuclear fission plants.

It may be that the problems -- federal / national governments red tape, NIMBY lawsuits, local gov / state gov / provinces / councils, 'fearmongering', etc -- are common and similar everywhere, but this seems prima facie unlikely, certainly not demonstrated.

Ionic, or more specifically Ionic Capacitor, is Electron on desktop today at least, so a lot of the same caveats apply to anything else mentioned about it. On mobile it is a successor to PhoneGap/Apache Cordova, and there does at least use "native" web views rather than bundling its own like on desktop.

The rest of Ionic is somewhere in the middle.

their search and filtering mechanisms are abysmal. they have essentially taken tons of valuable user-supplied data and locked it up behind a useless interface. some simple examples - i cannot find humorous fantasy books by searching for books tagged both "fantasy" and "humour". i cannot do a search that returns hundreds of results and then sort them so that the best ones go to the top - and i'm not even talking about some magic relevance algorithm, just sorting by explicit data. i cannot even organise my own read, unread and to-read books easily. all in all it's a usability disaster and totally wastes the labour people have put into building up the database.
I don't think deregulation, mergers or accountants killed the Max or its passengers. I think it was an engineering culture in love with the simplicity of an idea that on the face of it was genius. What made the Max work was the idea that you could use software - something Boeing in its military work already was very good at - to create essentially a new plane without all the rigors and costs of creating a new plane. This vision allowed Boeing to believe in its own BS that rather than have a collection of static designs incapable of evolution, it had a platform. The concept of the platform was the differentiator that Airbus had that Boeing did not have until it marketed the Max. Through software, the 737 became a way to create the illusion of a platform that could serve most if not all markets (wide body being the obvious exception). Once Boeing was in love with this idea, it never put it back through the rigors needed because to do so would have been to admit that the 737 wasn't a platform and that they were in fact building a new plane. I won't find it surprising that in a forum (HN) visited by engineers this comment doesn't receive the mother of all downvotes. However, I think if you're looking at Boeing honestly and not clouding your views with a whole bunch of economist-mumbo-jumbo about deregulation, you'll see that Boeing is just a leading indicator for what's about to happen in a lot of industries if it isn't already. My view, stop loving the elegance of your engineering and start thinking about the lives you actually impact. <-- That -- is what was lost.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments! I think such a thing as temporary anarchy is almost impossible to achieve in practice. There is entropy in human organizations and it's much easier to break things than to build them. I believe if you make it too easy to break things, even if you have the best of intentions and intend to rebuild them, you will just end up with a lot of broken things. In my experience, people tend to drastically underestimate how difficult it is to build things.

I read your comment below, and I really like what you said about parenting and healing, by the way. I also think that learning to create things together without the permission of governments or corporations is something that we would all benefit from very much. I'm not sure it's necessary to throw off the shackles of government to make a lot of real, concrete improvements in the way we live.
> The far-left wing of the Democratic party felt that 4 years of chaos under Trump was an acceptable tradeoff in the long-term for moving the party (and the country) to the left on the economy.

No, all the polling and other research I've seen showed that non-Clinton supporters on the left (particularly Sanders supporters) supported Clinton more strongly on 2016 than Clinton 2008 supporters supported Obama. What people (largely because it conflicts with the simplistic linear left-right model where people vote for whoever is nearer their position on that line that so many people have internalized as how US elections work) is that Sanders polled substantially better among the disaffected independents, rural working class whites, and other demographics outside of the Democratic liberal base (and even outside of the Democratic Party at all) than Clinton did. Those are the people that, whether by voting the other way or just not turning up to vote at all the way they might have for a candidate that offered them something to turn out for, that made the difference.

> In the current climate, moderates are going to find themselves left out in the cold in national races -- exactly because moderates are relatively easy to pull to one side or the other via targeted campaign advertising.

Moderates aren't easier to pull, people whose variation from the political center isn't along the main axis of variation between the parties are easier to pull. That's not the same thing as moderates.

I'm not convinced this is accurate.

When an industry is offered a technology-based productivity improvement by a vendor, the increased profit associated with that improvement can go to three places:

1. The technology vendor itself
2. The business purchasing the technology
3. The customer

When the business purchasing the technology is a commodity business (its product is undifferentiated from a large number of competitive producers, e.g. corn, soybeans), the value from the technology will generally either stay with the technology vendor or flow down to the consumer in the form of lower prices.

This is why technology investment in a commodity business is often about a need to keep up with your competitors and not about actually increasing your profit. To paraphrase Charlie Munger, the productivity improvement doesn't 'stick to your ribs' if you are the farmer.

I think any business sophisticated enough to build highly automated farm tractors is also going to be sophisticated enough to realize that it doesn't make sense for the farmers to own the value associated with those productivity improvements. That is the plight of a commodity producer in the supply chain, I don't think it's a moral failing of the technology vendor.

Sadly, any Goodreads competitor will need to miraculously gain the network effect; everyone you know is on Goodreads, so it'll just be you and whoever you can convince to move to a new platform.

As for the downsides for Goodreads, this blatant lack of moderation is troublesome. I also dislike that Kindle / Amazon are the only visible links to purchase books by default. Amazon already dominates the ebook/audiobook market, so I also simply dislike Goodreads due to their acquisition by Amazon.
I like gift cards as long as it's for a store that I would normally shop at anyways.

But a few years ago, I was given a gift card to Macy's. I don't shop at Macy's and had a hard time finding something to get. Every single thing I looked at, I could get at half the price basically anywhere else. I ended up buying some kitchen stuff, but felt like the giver's money was wasted.

The worst gift card in my experience is a Visa/MC/AmEx gift card. It is often a pain to deal with them if the balance on the card isn't enough to cover a purchase unless the business you're spending it at is capable to splitting a purchase over multiple credit cards and the cashier knows how to do that.

PEO stands for "Professional Employer Organization" and is an American term for a company that serves as the legal employer for the people you want to hire. For example, see https://justworks.com/. When an employee joins our company, they legally become an employee of JustWorks, but we're the practical employers. It's purely a legal relationship.

This is welcome the USA government because they know these companies help us achieve compliance better than we could on our own. JustWorks has been great, but only employs people in the USA. When we want to employ someone outside the USA, we therefore need to find a "global PEO." These companies are sometimes called "Employers of Record."

Popular Global PEOs are:

- Globalization Partners

- Elements Global

- Capital GES

- Pilot.co

- Lots more.

But it's a highly fragmented market and has been a pain to engage.
Lots of products are more repairable now, by the owner, primarily due to the internet (YouTube specifically), along with websites dedicated to providing schematics and parts lists/ordering (Appliance Parts Pros, etc.).

Prior to these, I would have had to call a repairman, and then he'd probably say "you need a whole control board" or "the unit's dead."

There are some interesting questions to be answered here about the value of the view included in the pricing of beachfront property that need to be addressed (agreements to limit development including height restriction - agreements not to sell property closer to the water line to other private parties) that will get super complex as climate change continues - including the fact that erosion may shrink the size of the private rights portion of the lot on beachside property, or potentially expand it.

Additionally this gets super muddled when it comes to coastal constructions, even simple jetties docks may have public safety concerns, protection of private property (if expensive boat maintenance tools or machinery are located on the jetty) - and that will evolve into questions about using coastal constructions to restrict access.

Lastly, the costs - as Khosla mentioned the beach is unprofitable to run, should CA be footing that bill? Could they sublease the property to an entrepreneur that thinks they could make the beachside facilities profitable? It is entirely unreasonable (even given the excessive wealth of Khosla) for him to be forced to maintain an unprofitable entity like that and all the facility liability that goes along with it.

This is a gigantic can of worms.
