Economies of scale are extremely valuable to the overall economy as mega corps tend to charge lower prices. Similarly, SpaceX as a high risk high cost investment is vastly more likely with group funding than a single private owner.

Clearly there are some downsides, but managing them via laws and regulations is possible.

In this context, most commenters are implying society's perception of success which is intimately tied to money.

If the definition of success is completely left to a person's own devices, the whole argument of the "game" falls apart too. Since there is no game to play.
Hong Kong was lost the day the agreement was signed with the UK.

Like they did in South Africa they just packed their bags when it became expedient to do so and buggered off without worrying about the consequences.
I am worried that we are talking about two different things. I was talking about current tactic of supporting HK autonomy as a way to limit Chinese influence as opposed to a seeming strategic goal of turning China into a model international citizen US would want it to be ages ago.

I also find the third sentence a very simplistic way of understanding international relations. I do not want to go on a rant here, but US does not really have a problem with lack of autonomy.

The problem for US is that China is not easily bullied. That is the reason the considerations are being rolled back.

Ask HN: What proprietary / SaaS product do you wish was open source?
The recent post on Supabase (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23319901), an open source equivalent of Firebase got me wondering what other proprietary / SaaS solutions there are that should have an open source equivalent?
I guess they're using it as intended there. But if they're using it because they don't like factual anti-china criticism, that's abuse.

Not American, but I started using online grocery stores about 5 years ago. I have not stepped inside a physical grocery store since.

There was already a small business bailout. Basically, you got a small business loan, and if you met certain criteria, it became a grant. The criteria was something like 80%+ has to go to salaries, maybe some other things. So if you managed to get in early and get one of those loans, you can pay your employees for a while at no cost to you. This was called the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP if you'd like to research more.
Thx. Many errors in that post, but beyond an edit now.
I'm not a Go dev, but is that not what the go runtime is? An event loop for NCPUs or a work stealing queue that uses NCPUs?
I think you have got it right. I own dozens of static websites from 100 pages to 1M pages. I am the ideal customer for a company like Gatsby.

I had all the content in my mysql and accessible through a REST api. I had python scripts that would pull data from REST and generate .MD files which then Jekyll would convert to static sites. Everything worked fairly well except long build times for the 1M pages site which was expected.

I decided to try porting things to Gatsby because I thought I can get rid of the python script. Then I realized how useless Gatsby suddenly is.

It will take hours to call the REST APIs and create nodes. It would take huge amount of memory too often causing the process to crash even for sites that had just 10,000 nodes. The create pages step was even more horrible. If there is some error like a special char in the url it would just crash the whole process forcing me to build from scratch again which again took lot of time. I had to then try to figure out how to cache the data. Even then, memory crashes were frequent and Netlify free plan would not support the long build times.

I then decided not to use Gatsby for my use case and instead just use Google Cloud Run and PHP for the super large site and continue using Jekyll for all the < 1M pages sites with free Netlify plan.

Now, if you are going to raise lot of money from VC I would like to see you making products that make your customers happy and not engaging in some of engineering porn where you try to solve problems like using "react components" which in itself has no meaning to me.
Ask HN: How are you satisfying the social side of your intellectual curiosity?
Aside from (or maybe including) interacting on HN itself, in the shelter-in-place era, how are you engaging in conversation and learning from a social perspective? I'm particularly curious about synchronous conversational experiences, but not exclusively. How are you finding these opportunities?
People evidently find it interesting. You did, enough to post about it, for example.
Isn't off-campus rent already generally higher in college towns because of the high demand and high rate of turnover, preventing any rent control?

If rent increase beyond what is sustainable for college students, it will force the college to invest in more affordable on-campus housing options (Or college-owned, rentable apartments).
I would pay for a personal shopper who is working for me, towards my interests, and not in the interests of any particular store.

We can't trust store employees to give us the best products because not all grocery items are created equal. An apple is not just an apple. There are good apples and bad apples. I don't trust someone whose incentive is to sell all the apples to give me a good apple when they can give me a bad apple that won't otherwise sell.

I also don't like that a store employee only works for one store. I would rather pay a personal shopper to go to grocery store #1 and then grocery store #2 if necessary to get the brands I prefer. Having someone in grocery store #1 tell me "Brand X is out of stock, so we substituted brand Z" is not preferable.
I feel like a crazy prepper because I am thinking the same way. I just want to have a plan!

Yes, Vancouver BC. The companies with the worst attitude were mostly startups, up to 5 years or so. Which was ironic because my previous experience was exactly what they needed - elevating the business practices of startups towards sustainability.

It is a small comfort that these companies are mostly long gone now. I eventually found a great position at a more mature company, and am very happy with my career there.

Interesting stuff!

I currently use Andy Matuschak's [1] system, using his note-link-janitor script [2] to generate backlinks and Typora to edit. The only thing Obsidian adds is the graph view for me, but it seems that Obsidian generates backlinks using file name, not title. I prefer linking by title. Perhaps this can be an option? The editor also seems to be lacking a little... for instance I can't seem to render math. Hopefully some of my feedback will be useful to you.

Overall really cool idea, but probably not going to use for now. Will keep tabs, and wish you the best of luck!

Quarterly pressure from Wall Street is not a good excuse. That just means that the CEO and other C-level execs are just ineffective leaders. People who are too far removed from the product, i.e. bean counters with little passion for the technology and industry, tend to make bad leaders for firms like Boeing.
There are still "plenty", or at least, they are distinctive enough you'll spot them easily. Most of the ones I've seen are (obviously?) around the Hampstead Heath area, with a few around the Oxford Circus area.
401k owners generally have no say due to low number of shares. And most likely they are not in a position to make a judgement of the decision a management makes.

Who is looking out for them? Not the CEO and I don’t think the board either. You need to have a lot of shares before you have an influence.
Spotify also makes it seamless to tunnel down a rabbit hole and then back up. I've done this across genres from one seed song while still enjoying and occasionally sampling new music along the way.

Netflix bothers me because they have a marketing bend that creates your tunnels for you.
So just don't use fat models. The only sensible way to use Django is to put all the business logic in service methods, not in models/managers or serializers/forms.

If all your business logic is in models then of course your app is going to be completely unmaintainable and it's going to take developers weeks to do things that should normally take a couple hours.

There is definitely a real problem in the Django community where lots of people have recommended architecting apps in bad ways, so then you get developers who want to implement the app the "standard" way that Two Scoops or whatever recommends. But Django itself is still a great tool, you just need to be willing call out your teammates if they're unable to think for themselves.
Yep. This has been our experience as well. Not only do the pickers have no incentive to do a good job (and often aren't even trained in how to judge the produce and meat they are selecting); and not only do mind-boggling substitutions take place sometimes; but in just about every online grocery order we've made in the past two months (so about 10 times by this point), we've gotten some items that were just plain wrongly chosen--ie we asked for one thing and got something entirely different that might have been nearby in the store, and was rung up as what we ordered, but we didn't actually get the item we ordered.

Lots of these problems could be improved through better technology (there's a running joke on Twitter about accidentally ordering a single banana or fifty avocados, and it's amazing how truly bad the grocery websites are at representing what it is you're even ordering) and by optimizing the product selection for online ordering and delivery distribution (versus today where most grocery delivery seems to be done by store staff walking the store and building a cart by looking for the things on a print-out of the website order), but what grocery company is going to invest in those sorts of fundamental changes when the CW is that we'll be past this pandemic within a year or two at most?

Show HN: Blindsight, a Scala Logging API
I've released Blindsight 1.0.0.

Blindsight is a Scala logging API that is based around structured logging, fluent logging, semantic logging, flow logging, context aware logging, conditional logging, and other useful things. It's the result of between two to four years of thinking about logging stuff.

I've written up why I wrote a(nother) logging library instead of just sticking to SLF4J:

I'm slightly surprised to see that this definition is considered obscure. Perhaps I've been disproportionately exposed to it through my slight obsession with motor-racing :-) Having said that, Boeing's situation is closer to the first definition of 'debt' than you might imagine, if you consider the idea of 'technical debt', a concept that (at least in a software context) most of the HN crowd will be familiar with. The 737 is in a recognisable state of technical debt - if it were a software product, its innards would be written in FORTRAN.

GitLens is great, if you like it use it. When I use VS Code I do, but VS Code is not the only tool I use in my work. You are free to your opinion of course, I am just not a fan of statements like "X is better than Y because Y costs money" with no evidence, as if it were obvious.

The GitLens website asks for monetary support and sponsorship front and center. If that's the way you prefer, that is perfectly OK. That doesn't automatically make it a better product.
I don't think YouTube fights low-quality comments like that. Comment moderation is generally left up to channel owners. YouTube just provides tooling like their spam filter, word blacklists, and "pending approval" settings. However, channels can choose to enable those or not.

I’m a bit surprised Julia is ranked below Python for how much developers love the language. I’ve programmed extensively in both, and with Julia it’s an absolute joy, while I always feel like I’m fighting with Python to get it to do what I want (efficiently, at the very least).

Or who don't even care about the long-term health. Extract all you can today and dump the remains. Having a company that remains healthy and prosperous for generations is not an outcome that some investors seem to be optimizing for.
It is bizarre and disappointing to see this as the highest-ranked comment.

Do you have any evidence that “accountants” made this decision? Or that COVID is merely an excuse?

It is blindingly obvious that Boeing has been quite adversely affected by this pandemic and that global travel is unlikely to return to normal levels for at least 2-3 years. No amount of extra spending on R&D or product engineering is going to save your airplane company when people don’t want to get on the plane.
> Too many slackers who can’t get things done.

Do you have statistics on this, or are you just making a broad unsupported claim?

Noob question, how much do these differ? Also does it go further, perhaps a difference in culture as well as language?

I find it absolutely ridiculous that this is being voted down. news.ycombinator.com is not what it used to be, or maybe I've changed.

I guess this demonstrates the tactics that is highly unfavorable to help people make up their own mind:

1) mislead by ignoring evidence, pushing a narrative using "authoritative sources" that fall far short of objectivity standards

2) if #1 fail vote down (shadowbanning, downvotes, etc etc)

3) if #2 fail censor and ban.

4) if #3 fail tell people to ignore those showing contrary evidence, by without evidence claiming they belong to bad group X or because they can't possibly understand due to having identity characteristic Y

This is so boring and trite. It should be clear to everyone at this point that enough people are awake to these tactics to force a discussion on equal terms. With all truths on the table.

Wasn't it GE's CEO who pushed the idea that the company's goal is to optimize share value ?

Karma's a bitch.
“Yours end when it begins harming someone else” is in itself a slippery slope and a dangerous precedent used by folks to limit free expression. How exactly do you define “harm”? Does emotional or mental or spiritual/religious harm count? If so you are one step closer to a complete dismantle of the first amendment.

Hence I think that statement should be extremely narrowly applied to direct physical violence (and threat of), and that’s it. Anything more and you are just masquerading as wanting to censor speech under the guise of that highly exploitable statement.
Well, mostly, they replaced Usenet and a hodge-podge jumble of forum sites running generic interfaces where you have to click to a new page for every 50 comments (or less), which have no comment reply nesting.

Reddit brought a more useful/readable interface, allowed anonymous accounts with no email address, and had a very simple & powerful (if flawed) voting system. This attracted content creators of all kinds, which led to a rapidly growing audience, and it snowballed.

I don't like one company owning all this stuff, but I do love what users in niche subs have created there. With a massive general audience comes better populated niches, excellence riding the coattails of the mediocre. Also, should Condé Nast ever screw the pooch here, plenty of clones are waiting in the wings.

But you know what? It could have been solved with general intelligence. But by defining it as some kind of major breakthrough a bunch of money got spent on solving just that one problem and then declaring victory by the players. I predict that this will happen for anything that gets pointed at as 'the' example of what a general AI would solve.

A better benchmark would be that a single piece of software that is not specialized is able to solve two of these problems.
