This is my biggest peeve. Every place you have other stuff related to a project, whether it's Trello, Jira, Google Drive, O365, Miro, Confluence, Figma, Travis, CodeClimate, etc etc etc, it's just another ever-increasing set of things to try to keep in sync and up to date.

It makes onboarding new members way more difficult and make everything slower, more frustrating and more error-prone.

The economies are not separate. The essence of what you described is what was laid out by Cantillon, in what is now known as the "Cantillon effect"[1]

> "If the increase of hard money comes from gold and silver mines within the state, the owner of these mines, the entrepreneurs and smelters, refiners, and all the other workers will increase their expenses in proportion to their profits. Their households will consume more meat, wine, or beer than before. They will become accustomed to wearing better clothes, having finer linens, and having more ornate houses and other desirable goods. Consequently, they will give employment to several artisans who did not have that much work before and who, for the same reason, will increase their expenditures. All this increased expenditures on meat, wine, wool etc., necessarily reduces the share of the other inhabitants in the state who did not participate at first in the wealth of those mines in question. The bargaining process of the market, with the demand for meat, wine, wool etc., being stronger than usual, will not fail to raise the prices. These high prices will encourage farmers to employ more land to produce the following year, and these same farmers will profit from the increased prices and will increase their expenditure on their families like the others. Those who will suffer from these higher prices and increased consumption will be, first of all, property owners, during the term of their leases, and then domestic servants and all the workmen or fixed wage earners who support their families on a salary. They must all diminish their expenditures in proportion to the new consumption..."

There is some time for these market effects to occur, so the purchasing power decrease of workers is not seen for some time after the new money is printed. The initial spenders of the new money have purchasing power at the value the money had at the time the new money was created. This is the fed, the government, banks, and financial markets. By the time it trickles down the economy, price rises begin to occur and the bottom earners have reduced purchasing power.

The idea of continuous money printing by the state, even during times of prosperity is Keynes's gift that keeps giving. The state and its elite benefit from increasing the money supply and low earners and savers pay the costs. The fed committing to printing trillions now is simply a way for them to enrich themselves with a convenient excuse which can deflect blame for any economic damage caused - the Coronavirus. This can be seen by comparing what is being printed, and what meagre percentage of it is actually going to the average American in their stimulus checks, versus what is going to banks, big business and others, paid for by future taxpayers. Daylight robbery, which will only further increase wealth inequality.

Stripe Partnership
I hear that one of Stripes cofounders hangs around here - thought I'd take a dive and see if I could get in touch from an unconventional channel

Hi Stripe,

We have recently launched a UK platform that allows independent businesses to sell commission free vouchers to their local community during the COVID19 lockdown. This provides the businesses with the cash flow boost that they need and allows the local community to support their favourite independents.

We went live 10 days ago and have 30 independent businesses selling vouchers through our platform and another 70 stores in the process of setting up their account. We are using Stripe as our only accepted payment method.

We do not charge a platform fee, nor take any commission on sales, so do not currently monetise our site. As it stands, the only cost to the businesses is the Stripe payment processing fee.

I was wondering if you would be interested in partnering, and amongst exploring other opportunities, waive your merchant fee during the COVID19 lockdown.

The majority of businesses registering on our site are new to e-commerce and are creating a new Stripe account during their registration. Waiving your fee will strengthen our value proposition and allow us to scale even quicker, resulting in more Stripe registrations during this period.
Our voucher management system also handles the administration of the redemption process. This creates a high level of stickiness to our platform and to Stripe. Although we are solely offering vouchers at the moment, our platform has the functionality to provide a wide range of services to these businesses, both as a booking platform and community orientated multi-vendor retail website. During the voucher redemption period (post lockdown) we plan to introduce these features and help these businesses transition to e-commerce.

Our website is www.bealocalhero.co.uk

Get in touch at kenny@bealocalhero.co.uk if you want to partner or have any questions.

HASHWallet, the most secure hardware wallet
The theft of crypto actives is an everyday event. We are less and less surprised by the constant news about attacks and hacking into exchanges and cryptocurrency wallets worth millions of dollars. In this scenario, users need to equip themselves with better security tools to safeguard their assets.

HASHWallet is a cryptocurrency smart card that offers a higher level of security than other hardware wallets on the market, based on a series of technical features and advantages that make it unique.

As a non-programmable device, it is designed to create a totally secure space to sign transactions and to safeguard the user’s keys.

The card stores the private key without anyone knowing it, not even the user. This key cannot be accessed from the outside in any way. Therefore, the card is invulnerable and can not suffer external attacks.

The Public/Private keys are generated on the card itself, in a random procedure that is impossible to replicate and without the intervention of external seeds.

The card includes a large screen of electronic ink, which allows the verification and validation of the transactions in detail. In this way, HASHWallet complies with the “What You See IS What You Sign” (WYSIWYS) philosophy; users only sign what they see, and avoid the malicious attack known as “Man in The Middle” since no external devices are involved in the transactions.

The fingerprint reader built-in to the card is another of its security tools, as it allows the signature of transactions from a biometric signal.

HASHWallet supports the major cryptocurrencies on the market, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin or Tether, and also any ERC-20 token.

Are you trying to enable fractional scaling under X11 or Wayland session?

In the past, when it wasn't exposed in GUI, and worked for Wayland only, it was necessary to logout and login between enabling fractional scaling and setting the scale itself (the reason was, that Xwayland was started in different mode then; technicality, that doesn't matter no normal users, but then, the functionality was labeled experimental and enabled via gsettings anyway).

The X11 fractional scaling is a different beast; it uses xrandr scaling and requires cooperation from the graphic card (the output encoder, specifically - it sets up framebuffer at different size than the output to display). That also means, that it won't work on machines that do not have output encoder at all and assume framebuffer resolution is equal to output resolution, like remote sessions or virtual machine clients. Here I agree, that some error message would be appreciated. It was also brave from Canonical to enable it for LTS, without going through a testing cycle in a non-LTS release.

Reminds me of some blogposts abut JavaScript and Rust, I've read.

The author was arguing that you can achieve maximum performance with Rust while still writing it in an idiomatic way, which isn't possible with JS.
In high school I took economics, precalculus (which taught exponential growth), and history (which talked about financial crises of the past). The information was taught, but the problem is that there was no class to tie this information into life practice.

it is the classical principal-agent dilemma that we face in society since the point in time we started delegating individual tasks to individuals, for any individual will carry the seeds of greed and egoism in it in varying degrees. thus there will always be a conflict of interest for evolutionary reasons.

over the millenia we've developed mechanisms like the division of power (checks & balances) for governments and the board system for corporations.

what I want to say with this is that if organizational stewardship is not working, it's most likely a flaw in the structure of the system (and/or the processes), and my instinct would tell me to investigate if the right amount & scrutiny in terms of checks & balances is in place.
Go is over a decade old, not counting a couple of years of development in private. I'm not the biggest fan of the language but it's hard to think of it as a fad.
The nature of executive compensation is often different than rank and file employees. A common trick is to say "The leadership team took a 30% paycut, so the 10% paycut you are taking isn't so bad" however executive pay is often split between equity, bonus and base compensation with equity and bonus making up more than 50% of the total comp. Often when they say 30% they are talking about 30% of base.

I'm really truly sorry about this. But the previous submission was actually a different product but with the same name. However, I understand your point.

But honestly, there aren't that many free and effective avenues for a non-influential internet figure like myself to get exposure for a product I create. Product Hunt and Hacker News are the most helpful sites.

I tried to get the word out at many other places but many times, it just went unheard of. I can't afford those expensive paid launching sites and adverts. So, these free platforms are my only hope and I had to post a few more times than normal. This post that got this many upvotes and feedback, I never really thought it would turn out this way. I got really really lucky with this 20th post.

I'm really sorry for the spam but I'm just trying hard to make my voice heard, too. I hope I'm still within the rules of this community.
Sometimes when I look at the strange constructs of Rust, and all the hoops that you must jump through to do certain things, I end up yearning for C++. Or even plain old C. And I tell myself, that I’ll be more careful with memory handling.

This is because for a fair comparison you need to scale the L1/L2 cache size as well. More cores - more cache. It is also important to not scale below 2 cores, because servicing interrupts causes performance hiccups. It is enough to have the second core heavily downclocked, and you'll still have better performance then with just a single core.

If you are offering a service to create a landing page then you really need a top notch landing page yourself. Some improvements:

* Don't offer a call to action that directs straight to a signup page, it is very off-putting and you lose users there

* Put more content above the fold. There is too little useful content above the fold.

* The images are lovely but they are massive over 1MB for this one which could be less than 10kB at the rendered size in my browser https://cdn2.oneprofile.page/assets/3-b57554fe9a488e6cdc3c9a...

Indeed, entering into a political space is a very expensive gamble and requires significant investment before one could obtain a return that is commensurate. If politicians do not have a way to obtain a return for their risk that puts them in the public's trust, then the profession will be filled with those who take the risk because they seek private reward.

I think it depends on the card model but overall the Nvidia drivers and CUDA software work great.

Maybe it's because you weren't able to explain why you thought microservices can be really bad, or your explanation didn't hold water. So what was the explanation you gave them, or do you not want to say?

I haven't really used it but with Youtrack you can apply arbitrary commands to your ticket from a github commit.

And I can certify that Youtrack is ridiculously configurable. As in "execute arbitrary code when a ticket is updated" configurable.

Both of these features are maybe a bit too powerful (especially together), but they do enable any particular workflow you want.
I'd like to stream high-quality, low-latency audio from a C++ app alongside webcam/mic from chrome/firefox. The receiver should get video and a mixed blended audio. Maybe even screenshare and mouse/keyboard control. Is this possible?
It looks like it is an attempt at bizdev.

With Mir, it was an attempt to own it, so when some mobile vendor wants to implement it for their devices, they have to consult with them and get some licenses. With Unity 8 and Ubuntu SDK, it was similar. Once prospects of Ubuntu mobiles failed, it was abandoned.

Wit Snap, it is an attempt to own the Linux app distribution space (that's why you cannot have 3rd-party repos), so anyone who want to distribute snaps, has to talk to them.

I have nothing against Canonical trying to make money; but inserting themselves as a monopoly on some layer of Linux stack isn't the way to do that. Community will always route around.
Kudos for delivering, very nice site. It's basically like Bandcamp? Maybe it would be good to tag artists by genre, to help discoverability.

It might actually be useful to have a second core, to service hardware and peripherals. This way you'd have smoother performance, because you would not need to flush the cache on every interrupt.

The thing that gets me, is why can’t that student loan be tax deducted?

If I pay $20k in taxes, then take that money to pay off the student loan first.

I don’t care about tax revenue to the government. And the federal government has the power to just print new money to pay off all their old debts anyways, like they are doing now, so they don’t really need my tax money.

You are trying to impose your own internal representation of email as a concept on others here.

To write "email" is correct. It would be more precise to write "email address" to make the distinction from "email message." But it is not the cultural norm to equate "email" with "email message" as you seem to do.

Juuust kidding. My point is: they probably do not have the used more clear language, because their internal concept of what email is is so fuzzy. That would be my guess anyway.

> Your heat pump can run on wind

It can run on anything. As pro renewable energy as I am, the switch won't happen overnight.

Furthermore, pointing out that heating with a heat pump and grid electricity from natural gas is more efficient than heating directly with natural gas hopefully encourages more homes to use heat pumps now, instead of waiting for incentives that will come in the future.

When I built my house, I had to really push on the contractor to get a heat pump. He wanted to do a gas furnace and still thinks I'm an environmental bozo.
