In my locality, I believe the difference is explained in part by local policies that severely restrict new building and renovation of old buildings.

You might not expect such housing supply restrictions to cause land prices and rent prices to rise at different rates. But you would expect them both to rise. There may be real estate speculators investing on a momentum theory, but renters aren't willing to pay a premium based on the past trend in rental prices. This theory wouldn't support unbounded divergence between land and rent prices, but it would support some divergence consistent with what I've seen over the past few years.
This is something I've noticed. People in my life who don't "work" with computers—as in their primary use for a computer is to consume media—love their iPads.
I think your being too hard on yourself.

Keep in mind Amazon was founded in 1994, it is not an overnight success story.

I think you shouldn't give up on developing, the fact you took even one idea to product probably puts you in the top 10% of people working on projects right now.

I would also humbly suggest that on your next project you look into a paid ad service such as Google or Facebook.

I would also suggest you think about a project that would be useful in your detailing service and combine you past experience with your current expertise.

Thanks for posting the story, it was an enjoyable read that I could relate to.
I'm not arguing that they cost $100 to produce, but even in this article they cost more than the stated "<$5 to make". And this doesn't include any recoup of research cost. I'm not arguing for higher insulin cost, even though it seems like I am. I have to buy the stuff and take it or die. On the other hand, a consistent supply and further research into better fast acting and long acting insulins also matter to me, as they make a HUGE difference in the quality of life. It's a double edge sword, unfortunately. Until such time as profit motive is replaced (and I would be ecstatic if it were), those of us with type I diabetes have to thread that needle very carefully =\

> California + Federal taxes are something like 46%

49.3% is the top rate you'd pay in California at the highest bracket (or 50.3% if you make over a million) .

If your income is over 2 million a year you'd pay an effective rate of 44%.

If your income is $200K, your effective rate is about 34%.

> That is overkill, and most people can't afford to save that up.

If you start when you're 20 (so 40 years of compounding time for a retirement age of 60), a $500 monthly savings contribution, on a 5% growth of stock investment (which, tbh, is low for such a long period), should net you some $745k (with $240k contributed, $500k interest earnings).

Is $500 a month of contributions a lot? I dont know - it depends on your income. But i think for a large portion of the working population, this is doable. It does mean sacrifice if your income is on the low end - you don't ever go on a holiday, you don't drive a new car (but instead, buy an old one so you don't have debt to service). You probably won't own property, and will continue to rent (and i'd include rent costs in the $25k in retirement cost per anum). It's not a fancy lifestyle - but it does mean you don't rely on a gov't social security, you don't rely on a pension fund that could go away.

And the end result is you will have some money left over when you die to contribute to either your children if you got any, or choose to donate/contribute to a cause you find worthy.

Under a pension plan, the person who dies early then leaves their children behind with nothing (or lost the contributions they would've deserved had they remained alive - albeit subsidizing somebody else's longer life). I don't find that fair, since a pension is part of your employment compensation, and yet you don't extract it all if you died, and thus you actually lose out.
It's not true.

They define a discrete list of "outdoor activities" that are relevant to their members -- mostly equipment provides for niche sports/activities with expensive equipment needs (climbing, skiing, cycling, camping/backpacking, fishing, hunting, scuba diving, etc.).

In particular, someone who walks in their local park every day or plays pickup soccer/basketball at the local outdoor sports field would answer that they didn't participate in any of the listed activities.
I felt like the article was thoughtfully balanced in its analysis of the issue.
This is why I get confused when someone on HN says it would be easy and quick for a competitor to replace Facebook or Google. It's only easy if you can support such costs year over year over a decade or more.

The amount of software and hardware solutions that get developed over that time creates a great entry barrier. That's not to say that it's impossible for a competitor to appear with a great idea and execution and over time become the next big thing, but it's critical to emphasize that it's going to take a long time of large year over year investment to get there.

But it's scary out there! /s

Some bandwidth and latency downgrade seems certain. Google, Netflix, and others invest a lot to cache content closer to your phone. A VPN circumvents that approach. The experience, though, is individual enough, that nothing other than trying it would tell if it it's "good enough" for you.
This overstates the gains by a lot.

1) Each platform still requires a good amount of special attention.

2) The React Native project introduces breaking changes far more frequently than the underlying platforms

3) Being an abstraction layer, eventually something will break, and you’ll still need someone who understands cryptic linker errors and platform specific quirks.

There are cases where it definitely makes sense, but the hidden costs need to be accounted for.
That's the straw man version of what I said, yes. Except I didn't say "nothing to hide" I said that some types of data have limited value. I'm fine with Big Brother knowing when I turn off my lights. Monitoring my bank balance or my driving habits is something else, which is why I don't use the safe driver discount tools that plug into your OBD2 port in your car.
> He uses files to do it as well! Opening an Excel spreadsheet.

I find it interesting that your first example of a file-centric (rather than app-centric) workflow describes the file by the application that creates/views/edits it. Can you do anything with this "Excel spreadsheet" on an iPad other than open it in Excel?

Tesla is one of the most compelling stories to follow in recent years, but it seems like moderates have been pushed out and discussions have devolved in to Tesla is a fraud vs Hodl to the moon, with both sides cherry picking facts so hard it's mildly impressive.

So the above is a breath of fresh air, and I'd love to read more in depth takes from others whether I agree with them or not.

This is called asset location. Structure where your investments are located to maximize returns.
When you're not building on a new design at a scale never done before, it is a very different story from the case of OL3. Just take a look at how the French built their currently serving reactors in the 1970s - more than 30 units with the same design were build in a timeframe of about 10 years. High degree of standardization has significant benefits also in the nuclear space.

But of course you're right - it's very easy to deploy a bunch of solar panels compared to building a nuclear plant. And once you're done, you get to start to figure out the energy storage part - which in many practical settings is still mostly an unsolved problem.
"I have heard stories of monks in Asia who, having spent the past 50 yrs meditating everyday, took LSD doses from Westerners and didn't react."

The story you heard was likely a retelling of the one Ram Dass (formerly Richard Alpert -- a colleague of Timothy Leary) wrote about in his enormously popular book Be Here Now about his first meeting with the man who would become his guru, Neem Karoli Baba (aka Maharaji).

I don't have a copy of Be Here Now on me right now, but I watched some interviews with Ram Dass recently (after learning that he'd died in late 2019), and from my memory the story he told goes like this:

When Alpert (who did not yet go by the name of Ram Dass at this point) met Maharaji, the latter asked Alpert for "the medicine", which Alpert interpreted as being LSD. Alpert then gave Maharaji an LSD pill. Maharaji then asked Alpert if it would drive him crazy. Alpert thought about it and said "most probably". Then Maharaji swallowed the pill of LSD. They waited for an hour and nothing happened, and Maharaji asked for another, which he also swallowed, and still nothing happened.

Alpert was tremendously impressed by this (and also by Maharaji referring to the death of Alpert's mother and that she'd died of a "big belly" and mentioning the English word "spleen", when Alpert's mother did in fact die of a rupture of the spleen -- a fact he hadn't told anyone), so he became Maharaji's disciple and took on the name that Maharaji gave to him: Ram Dass.

Decades later, Ram Dass reported that he found out that Maharaji never actually swallowed the LSD, but simply used a magician's move to only make it seem like he swallowed it.

I'm also very curious at what makes young kids stick to "new" genre. And could you make an old song (one that doesn't age much if possible) stick to them as if it was the new hotness. Or maybe it's reinforced by society reacting to it as a new fad too.
What's a common approach for keeping the index up to date? A live ETL from the DB to the search engine doesn't sound simple. Another method I can think of, after existent data has been loaded, is to send the data directly at the same time to both the database and the search engine every time a user makes a CRUD operation but lots of works too if you don't already have a HTTP api and are doing mostly server-side-rendered HTML.
The simplest explanation is that HN users upvote PG's essays because they like them and find them interesting, and because they are interested in what he writes/thinks because of his history with this community. The idea that it has something to do with his bank account seems an invention of the rage-based comments which unfortunately have become a tedious fixture of these threads.

> I don't really buy the "monopoly on violence" interpretation... it's not a natural idea, maybe modern thinkers like it bc it seems to "explain" society and stat

I think that there is ample historical evidence that (1) the set of institutions together exercising a monopoly on legitimate force tend to merge into a single institution and, (2) that institution or set of institutions (even without yet having merged) tends to exercise broad compulsory power without any stable limits on domain.

> Communism and socialism sort of worked for the short stretches of time that people were true believers in them

When did socialism (as distinct from Communism) stop working? Heck, Communism (even specifically the branch rooted in Leninism) is as alive as capitalism. (That is, there remain systems that identify themselves that way that still exist, despite being radically different from the original form.)

> Capitalism is stable bc people believe in it

Capitalism is not stable (the thing now called capitalism is not very much like the thing initially called capitalism, which lasted about a century after being named.) Capitalism is mistaken for stable because people have developed feelings around the name, and just keep calling whatever the dominant economic model of the developed West is “capitalism”.
You'd rather have both though right? Obviously it depends on the market and california is a pretty bad example as an outlier where renting may make more sense but in most places in the world atm buying is the cheaper and safer (as in less chance of eviction at short notice) option. On the flip side renters only pay for increase in property values and never gain. Real Estate is a major wealth generator for people who get on the ladder. Finally you can't live in your 300k diversified portfolio if the market crashes.
Fixed, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't realize this was posted here.

> One potential contribution to a solution would be to tax investment properties/second homes at a very different rate than primary dwellings (which should be taxed at as close to 0% as is practically possible).

as a renter, that doesn't sound like a good solution to me. my landlord would just pass through the "investment property" tax to me, while homeowners in my income bracket would be getting a fat tax break.

people should be assessed a property tax that roughly approximates the local services they consume. after that, we can think about credits for people who are genuinely struggling to make ends meet.
Yeah, it’s gotten pretty bad in the Bay Area too. Lack of basic hiking courtesy (saying hello when you pass people, giving right of way to people going uphill on narrow slopes, walking single file when you’re in a group, etc) would be frustrating enough on its own, but it’s way beyond that - leaving trash, playing music on Bluetooth speakers, people mountain biking for what seems to be the first time and having no clue how to behave on their bike, etc.

Any trail that can be found with a basic google search on the weekend is just not worth it.

For web serving (or TCP servers with short-lived connections) in particular, you could do an application-specific smooth transition. But this wouldn't be the responsibility of TFA's library.

You could have your program use SO_REUSEPORT (or SO_REUSEPORT_LB?) on the socket it listens on. When upgrading, the old version launches the new version, which begins accepting new requests on the configured addresses and ports. The old version closes its listening socket so all new connections are handled by the new version. The old version can then just wait for all existing clients to disconnect, or if the server handles long-poll style loads, maybe send a redirect of some kind to force the client to connect to the new instance. When clients are all exited or some acceptable timeout has expired, the old version can delete itself and exit.
I think a favorable reading is that he described the category. Facebook tracked that fine under "general and administrative".
This is what I've found to be the most true. For years people talked about the Mac devices being so much better for development and creativity but after dealing with one for a year all I can say is that it's got a Unix terminal which is better than windows but falls short compared to a Linux system. Android is the same, having tried the iPad and the iPhone because it was faster and had a better interface I soon realized it was just a toy painted to be a device for adults and no real speed improvement was noticed for anything but mobile games which I don't play anyway, I switched back to a note and threw Manjaro on a laptop and I've been more productive with that combo than any I've tried...

I can't even imagine what you would or could use an iPad for that a thin laptop like the xps wouldn't run circles around even in terms of portability. It just seems to me like these people bought a very expensive 2 year old computer and need to justify it to themselves and others.
> as you have less redundancy during the expansion.

If the old device is not faulty then the replace operation will keep both old and new in the array until it is complete.

That's also an option with send/receive, but that involves downtime. Drive replacements can be done on a live system. Server grade hardware generally supports hotplug.
Flutter is only in beta for desktop and web.
And it's emulated UI, not true native UI.

RN is ready now and today for all platforms, including Window via react-native-windows.

Microsoft is choosing React, I wouldn't go w/ Flutter.

Why would you choose a Google only language and framework... unless you like rewriting code when it dies.

Also, w/ React you can use TypeScript or JS, you don't have to learn a new language.

From my perspective, it looks like Google pays a lot of money for these tech articles and stars, it's not a really good way to look at things. There's always a Flutter campaign going on.
15 years in the industry has taught me to always have an exit strategy.

React is the cool thing now but it wont be in 5 years. Make sure you can decouple and reuse your APIs with whatever comes next.

And always remember that a native app will always give the best experience. Cross-platform tools aren't perfect and sometimes the cost of 'write once debug everywhere' is higher than 'write everywhere' especially if you suddenly need to do something niche.
It seems like this survey is about "outdoors activities" and not just activities that take place outside. For example, traditional sports like basketball, football, baseball, and soccer aren't listed in the outdoors section even if they take place outside. The survey is instead only counting activities like fishing, hunting, hiking, etc as outside activities. That will wildly skew the results.

EDIT: Here is the fine print of the survey:

>In this report, outdoor activities include adventure racing, backpacking, bicycling (BMX), bicycling
(mountain/non-paved surface), bicycling (road/paved surface), birdwatching (more than 1/4 mile from
home/vehicle), boardsailing/windsurfing, camping (backyard or car, within 1/4 mile of vehicle/home),

Wall Street is finally realizing Tesla will be first to level 5. Its upside is almost infinite. It could become bigger than Amazon.

> But I think "real work" is a bad criticism.

For the third time, "real work" is not the actual criticism. It's inexact language used by a frustrated person, and you're taking it literally when you shouldn't be.

> If the kind of work it can do is the problem with the iPad

Nobody is saying this. The kind of work you can already do on an iPad is great. We're just frustrated because with a little bit of thought at the operating system level, the device would also be capable of doing a lot of other things well, without any sacrifice to the all of the existing apps and workflows that make the device popular.
