" "But but but undeserving poors--" No. Just write the checks."

Nobody in this thread said anything about that.

"Debt is denominated in our own currency and it's the reserve currency of the world, that debt is fucking fictional."

I studied economics. I can assure you, that's a radical oversimplification of how international debt works.

Are you aware of how US government debt is taken on? I don't think you are. You are acting as if the risk profile remains unchanged as policies are pursued.

I'm not debating Keynesian economics here. If the economy is in a deflationary spiral, then creating money isn't going to be destructive in pure terms, provided it's done correctly.

"We will have to come to grips with the understanding that in many parts of modern America it is more acceptable to have Grandma drown in her own goddamned lungs than it is to just write the checks."

Again, I'm not against writing the checks. I'm against writing the checks if it's not necessary and there isn't a benefit to doing so. The same callousness you highlight in that line could also be said about allowing small businesses to fail (ruining young people's lives) to protect grandma, who had elderly people in previous generations just accept deadly diseases as a part of reality rather than shutting down whole economies to protect themselves.

Glad you, as a small service business owner, are doing fine. But every day, the percentage of business owners who aren't doing fine goes up.

What's the stop criteria for this in your opinion? What is the signal that SHOULD be used for opening back up?

Waiting for a vaccine relies on hope, and that as we all know, is not a strategy.
I generally agree with you, but there are two counterpoints that I think we should keep in mind:
* "The passage of time is really all it takes to turn a liquidity problem into a solvency problem." - Powell
* This is true as long as you inflate the debt away or have strong policies to pay the debt off. The US had this after WW2 and it took 30-40 years to pay off/inflate its debts way[1]. This is also good to keep in mind for corporations.

With that in mind, I think "debt is a non-issue" as long as we've got good policies around this after the pandemic ends.

Thanks! In rough order of priority:

* Add sliders for setting greenery and hills preferences (so you can _prefer_ hills, rather than just avoid them)

* Add support for preferring particular surfaces (e.g. tarmac vs trail)

* Add support for creating distance-specific round-trip routes that pass through one or more waypoints (at the moment you can only specify a start/stop location for round-trip)

* Sometimes round-trip routing suggests some very complex routes which would be hard to follow when running. Some work could go into simplifying such cases.

* Improve the UI/UX, it's still quite fiddly, especially on mobile

More distant:

* Cycling support

* Native mobile apps (there are already mobile apps for Trail Router, but they're basically WebViews)

* Offline routing support in the mobile app?!

* Direct sync'ing of routes to watches/Strava would be nice, but there's no open APIs for this yet.

If you have any other suggestions feel free to chip in!

I don't really get the point of keeping video open. I'm always either looking at emails, a shared desktop, an issue tracker, or some kind of document while we are on calls. Seeing people sip coffee and pick their nose doesn't really add anything except bandwidth.
Do you have any simpler resources on how to do it?

If it were simpler to run a relay on a provider that allows it, and it doesn’t cost much (say $10 a month) to give Tor users a little more speed, that’d be helpful. The last time I looked at the documentation, it seemed quite involved and complex (of course, I wouldn’t want the security of Tor users to be compromised due to any misconfiguration).

If there were something for Tor like Sandstorm for web apps or Algo for WireGuard, more people could run relays and help everyone.

A spaced-repetition software, inspired by SuperMemo and Anki.

3. Why is a tile sometimes yellow?
I don’t see “banter” as “bullshit”. Sure, it’s usually the exact opposite of a geeky, factual conversation, but the purpose of banter is to bond, whereas the purpose of bullshit is to mislead (consciously or unconsciously) (while avoiding outright lies).

Older, Larger Companies Benefit from Not Investing in Worker Safety, Study Finds
I mean, I work in C++ all day (chromecast code base @ Google), and I like the language. But I also know where it does and doesn't belong. For application development, particularly _third party_ app dev, it makes no sense. And neither did Objective C, which is the worst of both worlds. I had to work in it for a while and it's awful.

I agree Dylan (or something like it) would have been a good choice, except that it wouldn't mate well with the Smalltalk style keyword/selector arguments in Cocoa, also it has the taint of being associated with the non-Jobs years and so maybe there would have been ... political... arguments against it.

They just needed a Smalltalk dialect with Algolish/Cish syntactic sugar to calm people down, and optional or mandatory static typing to making tooling work better.

Well, not to strip naked on the internet. There was a great paper that came out recently demonstrating the value of men's sexuality is negative (vs that of women).

Men don't possess anything intrinsically valuable or desirable. There is no fallback. I too wonder what this will mean for (young) men, who have already been pushed down a dark path.

In fact, 4chan officially refers to their analogous role as "janitors." "Moderators" on 4chan would be closer to Reddit admins.
If the country has shelter in place orders, transportation has ground to a halt, and everyone is economically challenged, how would they assemble in DC to protest at the Capital Building? This is where you would have to protest for additional economic relief from the federal government.

I would not be opposed to constituents showing up at the personal homes of Congressional representatives to protest, but that requires resources as well.
I think the framing is kind of off.

Being a successful business doesn’t mean that you must be secretive about your business operations. I don’t think it requires an “upper hand” either. Those may be key to out-competing other businesses in some way, but that is different than being successful. (Capital culture makes us think of a “successful business” as one that makes insane amounts of money, rather than one that achieves a goal.)

Of course, all businesses realistically will have some secrets, but those may often be separate from the business operations. For example, it would probably be very difficult to be public about all of your HR details, or expose all of your internal phone numbers/emails/physical addresses (humans just like basic privacy).

But many local businesses can probably operate just fine without being very secretive. There was a place in my hometown I loved that served shakes, cheese sticks, and cheeseburgers. I don’t think he did anything special that needed to be kept secret. People just like a nice diner with a decent burger.

I've had a feeling that certain state scratch off lottery games can be beaten thanks to certain actions the states take in the name of transparency. For example, they publish daily reports of the number of prizes remaining.

A simple example is imagine a game with 10 tickets sold for $1 each and a single $9 grand prize.

If 1 ticket is sold each day and if the lottery publishes the number of remaining winning tickets each day, then you can just wait 1 day and if 1 ticket was sold and 9 tickets remain and the prize wasn't claimed, well now there is a 1/9 chance of winning $9 and the expected value is even.

I started scraping several state for daily numbers and calculating the expected value of each game. Every now and then one gets over 100% EV. (Not taking into account annuity discounts and taxes)

It's also an excuse to try out a lot of different technology and patterns that would be too experimental for most real jobs, so it's a great side project.

I'm currently working on a user section with Clojure, Fulcro (https://fulcro.fulcrologic.com/), and Crux (https://github.com/juxt/crux).

Another fun little side project that was also an excuse to work with Clojure was https://ezmonic.com/. The app was built with ShadowCLJS, Re-Frame, and ReactNative. I've used the Major System mnemonic to remember things like my credit card numbers and I've always wanted to know how optimally short the mnemonics I come up with are. That app uses the CMU phonetic dictionary to search for an optimal phrase.
Well in the YT case it seems that you're relying on content creators passion for creation to substitute for paid labour.

There's an argument to say a system built on such a premise is exploitative.

Either way, I don't really have a strong intuition for how incentives will work here. At the very least, a barrier-to-posting will filter out some bad actors and some good actors.

How many of those extensions have 1mil+ users though. Its called prioritizing. The fact that they treat popular extensions just like one that tom wrote for him and his family to share pictures is poor mgmt. They are making money so there should be more accountability on Google's part even if they dont "have" to .
Yeah. It doesn’t seem hard for a few independently wealthy activists to make a “craigslist for restaurant delivery”, where the restaurants handled the delivery logistics directly, and the website took ~zero cut.

I’d switch to that in a heartbeat.

Regarding the games you can type out in BASIC, there's a book called "BASIC Computer Games" I got at the library once, and there's an online page that has a decent collection of them:

http://www.moorecad.com/classicbasic/index.html

They are in MS Basic, but it might be a fun exercise to try to port them.

I recently rescued a IBM PS/1 and a Macintosh Plus from my grandpa's basement, got a similar response from family/friends... "Well what do you DO with it?". I think my wife thought I was crazy when I was trying to explain how powerful and primal a BASIC prompt is.

EDIT: there's a link on the above link that has the original book contents: https://www.atariarchives.org/basicgames/
Not a side project, per se, but I've finally picked up the guitar again.

I've been a musician for going on 20 years, mainly piano but I like to collect the ability to noodle on instruments. When I was around 13 I broke my left forearm and it healed in a way that limits the rotation of my wrist quite a bit. This makes playing guitar rather difficult and at the time I started to consider branching out from piano there were a bunch of factors that made me give up on being able to play guitar. I was gigging as a piano player for 10-12 hours a week, while also going to school for piano and CS I started to develop tendonitis and trying to play guitar made it a lot worse, so I quit. I'm now in a place where I can take care of my arm (and I have actual healthcare) so I started back up again.

Comparing Hacker News with mainstream and general discussion subreddits is misleading, as is comparing it to Reddit as a whole. Obviously Reddit is going to come up worse in every conceivable metric (although, also, better) simply because of scale.

A more accurate comparison would be between HN and niche subreddit of roughly equal size and traffic. Not that I am or am willing to put in the work to make such a comparison, but I suspect the quality differential then would be smaller than a lot of people assume.

No. He made people that much more gullible to proprietary platforms, and technology went into a particularly bleak route because of individuals like him.

> If you're worried about inflation, tax better. Which is not merely "higher", but involves effectively targeting those taxes too for more returns.

I mean, I'm not arguing about how to avoid inflation. My question is about the debt being fictional. When you say "debt is fictional" that means that you can rack it up endlessly without consequences, but this clearly means there are consequences that you have to mitigate in another way. To argue that it's fictional you'd need to argue those problems don't come up at all. Otherwise you might as well say heart attacks are fictional because we can treat them, snake bites are fictional because we can treat them, etc...
I'm always very happy to see UX innovation, so kudos to Chrome for that.

However, I just don't quite see the point of this particular feature.

If you only have a handful of tabs open (like the 4 in the example), you hardly need to bother to categorize them.

While if you have a ton of tabs, you can already use different windows (one for personal, one generally for work, one for a specific project, etc.). Shift-selecting and dragging multiple tabs at once makes it pretty easy.

What "tab collectors" seem to universally like truly is tree-style tabs, so you can see the titles of your 40 tabs and see which one opened which. I suppose I can just hope that maybe they're taking baby steps toward that?

Seems like at Google they did though.

"Sojourn, a comprehensive racial justice program created for employees to learn about implicit bias"

I doubt this course dwelled on implicit bias of black people against whites/asians.

"Two other diversity training programs at Google, DEI for Managers, a primer to build skills around navigating issues of race on their teams, and Allyship 101, a program to learn about different types of oppressed groups and ways of supporting them"

I doubt these courses spent time on the oppression of white/asian men.

"... a speaker event hosted by Google on the topic of how white people can better navigate conversations about racism and privilege in the workplace"

"There was a meme going around that said white fragility shuts down discussions of white fragility"

"Three current employees said they felt the newer programs introduced from outside vendors lack the framework that previous training programs had to help orient white people to conversations about racial justice"

Their perception is that everyone in that group did hurt them. School shooters frequently blame everyone in the school for not helping them, and for having a higher social status than they do. I think their motivation is to flip the social hierarchy so they are at the top, and to punish people they think have wronged them (i.e. basically everyone).

The fact that it strikes fear into the rest of the nation is ancillary. They're usually more interested in the notoriety they gain than trying to create some kind of policy change.
