I don't have a problem with someone transforming land and subsequently renting that land to recoup the cost of materials and labor. My issue is that the state enables profits far in excess of cost by granting the original proprietor a permanent title to that land without having to occupy or use it. Outside of the threat of state violence, I see little reason why we should recognize absentee property claims as legitimate.
Ask HN: Does anyone want to join a small discussion group?
I created podaero.com to host small discussions with 20-30 users - the idea is that you get to know users better over time and the conversations become more interesting.

I'm looking to sign up some users today for one of the groups, anyone interested? I can send an invite code if you email me (email in profile), or I can email them to you if you have contact details in your profile.

Would love to hear any feedback as well. I didn't post as a 'show HN' because registration is still by invite code, but hopefully I can open it up to everyone soon.

What about the environmental impact of people buying everything "just in case?" Should we be stockpiling oil like crazy right now when prices are low just in case (while also artificially driving up demand)?

Isn't one of the key criticisms of farm and manufacturing subsidies that they are wasteful uses of our budget while one of the arguments in favor of them is that it maintains our infrastructure "just in case"? What about trying to buy out a foreign company to control a coronavirus vaccine or mandating that all domestic companies fulfill federal government orders before any international orders so that we have enough materials "just in case"?

My point here is that the just in case attitude for non-essential goods like PPE normalizes the same thinking in other arenas and it is unclear where we should draw the line. It is a slippery slope.

Genuine question as a rookie developer:

I write a lot of internal tools for my company used in manufacturing/fulfillment. We generally deploy these as fleets of Raspberry Pis. The front ends for these systems are generally pretty simple, they just walk an operator through what they should be scanning, and for hardware interaction I use a small node server. I serve a React App to these stations (from an internal server) to render this UI.

What (modern) alternatives are there for this that do not use web technologies? I've recently grown an affinity for ruby and attempted to rewrite my frontend in Shoes, but the barebones documentation and lack of SO answers made that a huge pain in the ass, not to mention the added steps in deployment of updates. Going any other route just seems like so much more work for no true benefit.

I wish media would stop tooting how amazing "3D Printing" is. It is just one of the ways of manufacturing. IMO, it is a poor way to do anything besides home hobby projects (there are a few medical exceptions). It takes 12+ hours to print anything useful. Yet media loves talking about 3D printing.

For anyone who has worked in product design and manufacturing, it is one thing to be able to make a few prototypes (which is where 3D printing shines), and another challenge to make 5 million of those prototypes per week. It is monumentally difficult to produce anything in high volume.

I wish the media would talk about many other amazing manufacturing technologies - injection molding (20 seconds a part!), die cast aluminium, water jet cutting, laser cutting, metal stamping, and machining. These are equally amazing technologies that make the world tick...yet 3D printing gets disproportionately amount of attention. Mold making alone is a topic of insane complexity and engineering challenges.

It's not good news for landlords if they can't find tenants because they've all been blacklisted even though many would have been good tenants absent the current crisis. Landlords who have monthly carrying costs but no tenants will quickly get hit in the wallet. In the end, unless there is an overabundance of renters, the landlords are going to have to look past this event and look at data from before the pandemic.

I can only speak based on my personal experience, which is anecdotal, but I think a good starting point would be learning to duplicate the deployments you're familiar with, in AWS. Some simple projects would be:

- Spin up an EC2 instance, set up SSL, configure webserver, deploy application.

- Create an AMI from your instance, destroy instance and restore from AMI.

- Host a static site on S3.

- Use an IAC (Infrastructure as Code) tool to provision resources - CloudFormation, Terraform, etc.

- Use CodeBuild and github to setup a continuous deployment pipeline.

Each of these little projects can be done in a day or two, if you can do them all, you'll know your way around AWS and be able to do some useful things.

Some (paid) resources I've found helpful are https://acloud.guru/ and https://linuxacademy.com/

Thanks for the links. It clears many things, but the main problem stills remain.

Let me put you this example problem. "We have a box full of marbles and we can take two marbles out of the box each day. How many time it would take us to empty the box of marbles?

As you had noticed yet, this is an unsolvable problem

Now lets assume than we examine a Greenland shark's eye lense and register a value of "X" remaining radioactive carbon-14 atoms and then we take a look to a human eye lense of known age and found "Y" remaining radioactive C14 atoms.

To simplify the problem we will assume that all atoms in a eye lense are trapped there forever, no new carbon atoms were physically added or removed, and the size, weight, and fiber density in the lense are the same for both human and shark.

Having in mind that decay ratio is independent on taxonomy and there is not any reason to think that radioactivity would decay faster in a particular vertebrate... if X = Y; could we conclude than the shark and the human had the same age?

The answer is: Not, we can't infer the shark age. And this is the same problem than with the box of marbles.

It's clear the GP meant not be landlords instead of offer property for free.

Which got me thinking: what would society look like if there were laws that limited people to owning one single dwelling at a time? What edge cases would need to be covered (I can think of married couples and corporations--so it would need to be one dwelling per taxable entity)? How would you handle hotels, travel, nomadism, etc? Would it be stable and viable?
I don't really see how this is related to stocks. First, he got these all for free, while you have to buy stocks. There's a risk that they might be worthless down the line and you lose all the money you spent

Second, when you invest you are offering financial value. He just contacted someone, said "hey can I have these domains please?" and did nothing with them for 25+ years, until he was finally able to demand a payout. again.

are all the people who tried to sell their hoarded toilet paper people who "identified something of value early on before anyone else did"?

Any kind of inter-service authentication, really. And for lots of reasons, not just SSRF. But regardless: coherent inter-service authentication is not a norm.

If you're exclusively interested in mitigating SSRF, a more targeted solution is to run your connections (HTTP or TCP) through a proxy that enforces network-level rules. That seems like it would have worked here. For HTTP SSRF, Stripe has a good tool, Smokescreen.

> Touching one's mask is infinitely better than the alternative of touching one's face,

No, because the outside of the mask is contaminated and now your fingers are contaminated.

> and in the case of a non-symptomatic individual wearing a mask to reduce outbound infectious particles has no bearing at all.

No, because the outside of the mask is contaminated because those masks are not impermeable and the virus does penetrate it, and so now that persons fingers are contaminated and they contaminate other surfaces.

> The whole 'masks are too hard to use'

So far every single video I've seen of people who aren't HCPs wearing PPE has shown them make mistakes that lead to contamination.

"Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; don't touch your face" is much simpler than the protocols for donning and doffing gloves and mask.
Or you can just compile to web assembly and ignore the Javascript. Compiling down to a high level language which, itself, can often be a bit surprising or even ambiguous has always struck me as an approach of last resort. And it's not really our last resort anymore.

No you wouldn't because the real estate market would adjust to the lack of landlords. Current prices are the result of the current economic system. If landlords never existed, home-builders and banks would figure out a way to make sure people are paying them to have a home.

My house 20 years ago was 4x my salary. As it happens I recently started the exact same job, at the same grade. The wage is better compared to the job market than it was before, the house is now 5-6 times the salary (modernised 6-8x, based on several sales in our street last year).

It is difficult, because you have to stop rich people from leveraging their power to feed their greed, which means you need politicians who don't just mindlessly do what rich people pay them for.

It's called network effect. Just because it is open source won't magically make it federated and it certainly won't - magically or otherwise - convince a majority of users to leave their friends behind for a new network.

Hello everyone,

For a long time I thought there must be a better way to utilize notes in your work. Physical notes are difficult to bring with you and "search" through and ordinary note apps often don't have functionality for math and code snippets.

For this reason I created this website where you can add the following:

Links:

The key thing here is that these links are searchable by the content they point to since they are scraped. This is useful for things that are hard to google and you want to keep for later use.

Markdown documents with additional functionality:

Here you can add:

* code snippets that are made searchable, independently of the markdown document, by adding description and/or tags.

* images

* math (latex)

* PDFs (converted to images)

The text inside the images/PDFs are also extracted and added to improve the search of the markdown document (this doesn't happen instantaneously though but can take a bit of time to propagate). The markdown documents are useful when taking notes since you can combine theory and code snippets while making both searchable.

Still in the early stages, feedback is appreciated!
