==A better question would be whether the expected value of all future cash flows has doubled. Evidently, a lot of people seem to think so.==

If there is a finite limit of "investable assets", then the relationship between those assets prices is not necessarily driven solely by sentiment in favor of Apple.

It could be that almost all other assets have seen their expected future cash flows fall while Apple's has slightly risen.

It could be that people's decision is not driven by future cash flows, but some other metric or feeling.

Have Tesla's expected future cash flows increased by 8.6X in the past 12 months? It's stock has gone from $220/share to $1,900/share.
Wow. Some of those are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I have a 5yo who will owe you a thank you too. :)
Looks cool indeed. I guess I need it more in office hours, lol
Your right to something shouldn't be based on whether or not you "need" it. I'm fortunate enough to be in a state with open gyms and have nothing but respect for people who are taking risks to work out. Anyways, "needs": gym equipment has proper grips and cushioning for safe use over long periods of time. I'm less likely to blow out my back using proper form at the gym than with Macgyvered equipment at home. I need to go to the gym to use this equipment because lockdowns have caused a shortage and it's really, really, expensive to buy all the equipment yourself. You can also track and improve your performance over time with consistent incremental weights: I know that 10 additional pounds of resistance will always be 10 pounds, something that a bag of rocks can't replicate. Lastly, weight training creates a different physique to body weight training, endurance training/running, etc. You cannot decide that this physique is worth any less than the others.
Those passages said a lot more about NPR and its audience than the gym-goers, really.
>Are you really offering an easy setup to the senior devops person? I'm sure they can figure things out.

I'm sure a mechanic would figure out their broken car; it just is not ideal to do so everyday on their way to their new job/course.

Plus, in this case, it is not only about mechanics (devops). The window jams and doesn't close when it's raining. The fuel the car can fire changes every week. The seats were salvaged from a 1920's car. Seat belts are too tight and thin. The pedals are slippery. The sequence to turn on the car is in their colleague's head, and he's often absent. The tyres start skidding on certain streets. The door handle are the house door's handle and they must transfer them back and forth every time they take the car, and the refrigerant liquid is leaking, but there's a funnel on the dashboard the driver has put an upside down bottle to automate filling canceling the leak.

Offering them a car that just works is in no way doubting their competence, but merely a catalyst for the change in state they want to happen. Consider it reducing the activation energy.

I gather from your other comment you have a couple of years of experience in machine learning. I suppose with real deadlines and money on the line, with colleagues working on the same project? Can you tell us more about your workflow? How do you deliver value without dealing with jammed windows and leaky reservoirs? Or how do you deal with that?

What's lacking? What's getting in your way? Why does the value take so long to reach end-users?

I have heard that some TVs will simply look for open WiFi. Barring that, how long will it be before they just throw a cell modem in there, a la Kindle?
Do people really like these huge breakable touchscreens that you leave oily fingerprints on, or do they merely tolerate them? It's a damn shame that phones with smaller screens and optical touchpad don't exist any longer.
This is a very cool project, running Erlang on an ESP32 is impressive. The supervisor trees and other parts of OTP make the platform a good fit for certain embedded projects. Nerves is a great tool as well but of course it's much higher level, with a full Linux distro running under it on a Rasperry Pi or Beaglebone Black, which are much much more power-hungry than an ESP32.

There is a middle ground developing in the GRiSP[1] project as well. It uses the RTEMS RTOS to provide basic POSIX compatibility that allows the full BEAM VM to operate on lower powered hardware[2]. Work on GRiSP 2 seems to be progressing slowly, but it's a cool project and definitely worth a look if you find projects like AtomVM interesting.

A good point. I do of course trust humans to an extent, but as a general rule I feel that it's been beaten into my head by enough experiences to expect for humans to mess something up.

This includes myself of course.
Government procurement is interesting, eh. We've recently spent something like £1Billion on masks - hundreds of millions to companies which seem all to have connections to Tory faithful ... and AFAICT none of which have provided useable masks. (Aside from corruption why would they pay if the product isn't useable??!).

I dare say defence procurement will be similar.

Here's to cutting all that contracting red-tape the EU had us wade through. /s
Like the FDA, and as monopolies, NHTSA and DOT have much less stake in the safety of a consumer than do either car producers and drivers.

Personally, I trust myself not to buy a car that I've heard explodes. You may not, and I respect that. But I see no reason to pay for a service that assures you when I myself require no such assurance.

If NHTSA and DOT operated like UL, products that were less safe probably wouldn't have NHTSA or DOT seals, and those products would be much cheaper. People willing to trade safety for cost would be able to own a car. People willing to pay for safety would pay more. Because of the lower barrier to production, there would be probably much greater choice in car buying, and cars would be universally cheaper. In either case, the choice would rest with individual consumers, who know best their situation and risk tolerance.

This article could just as easily have been written about speakeasy bars that have opened during lockdown.
You start going in the right direction by talking about the cost of the FDA process, but then veer off into the weeds with a solution from extreme Libertarianism. History has shown over and over and over again that this type of hands-off approach and “let the consumer decide” mumbo jumbo absolutely does not work. It’s just as debunked as the trickle down economics theories. They have been tried so many times and failed every time.

If I’m in the ER am I supposed to stop and check every single drug they give me before having emergency surgery? Is the hospital? Would we give the right for every citizen in the country to inspect the premises of every drug manufacturer? So now anyone must be allowed to walk into any factory whenever they want to see what’s going on? How should any layperson be expected to have the knowledge and expertise to even perform an evaluation?

I can imagine some kind of review site where people post 1-star reviews like “took drugs, died anyway”. How many bad reviews/people dead would you say should be enough for a company to be removed?
A recession is the perfect opportunity for the rich to get richer.
You can't just dismiss the fitness routines people have spent years choosing and refining and getting better at. That's incredibly arrogant.

More arrogant than putting other lives at risk because you can't put your routine on hold, or alter it for a bit? No. It isn't.

"Lift a heavy stone"? That's a joke, right?

No, and it's part of strongman competitions. It's not dangerous if you have the right form and don't overdo it. Same as dumbbells & barbells.
For example, imagine if Kuiper terminals could be configured to not use the Internet but to be inside a VPC.
> Feels like they could have a bunch of decoders and make a guess at what my next channel will probably be and keep a few streams ready to go.

If you have a multichannel cable box (usually, to support simultaneous DVR and viewing), some of them I think do do that (or at least camp on the last-used for each tuner that isn't needed for active display or recording) and give a fast switch if you hit one that it's on, but the ratio of decoding streams to available channels tends to be very low. And I would imagine that video decoding is the biggest use of horsepower in a cable box or smart TV, so there's probably a non-negotiable cost (including in power usage, heat, and component lifetime) in malign a significant change there.
I’d guess because you could easily build a machine to cut the pieces with long strips of metal rather than welding together a bunch of disjointed pieces.

>> The largest driver of asset inflation in the large caps is 401k's and other retirement/pension plans managed by large entities.

Yep. If covid had put 40 million US white collar people on unemployment instead of hourly folks, the market would have crashed hard as the monthly influx of money dropped and some people started pulling money out early to get by.
That's so good to hear. There are so few open source clients on Windows,owing Thunderbird would have been devastating.
I don't understand why it's sad. Isn't it an attempt at approaching new things with an understanding of previous interactions?

Say you give a child a maraca, and s/he learns that s/he can shake the maraca to make noise. Then you hand a child a block, s/he is going to shake the block to see if it makes noise. The interesting bit and teachable moment is that these things have different features and properties and we interact with them differently, and thus we use them for different things. How does a touchscreen fall outside of that?

I say this as a recent parent who is hesitant to introduce screens and approaching the subject carefully.

Also, that video is hilarious, and it's clearly for the best that he's been pulled over.
It's somewhat annoying when people on FB are unrecognizable due to name/profile picture changes. I don't especially like FB in general, and would consider it a positive if FB enforcing their T&C caused people to leave the platform. (Or if it forced a change in the T&C.) The people I've reported are aware of my feelings.
Where would i even find a heavy stone?
This ticks me off. I have an Nvidia Shield TV and it's supposed to get this "update" also. I can live with some ads in apps (as long as I didn't "pay" for the app). But I HATE the idea of ads in my OS. This industry and the pressure to turn everything into a money grab is digusting?
oops, I was even thinking billion when I thought about it. Nice little slip where Trillion and dollars probably don't really mix that often
It's a tool you'll use 8 hours a day for years and it will reduce the strain and potential for injury you risk by doing so. The cost is irrelevant in the long run. It's a high quality keyboard with mechanical switches that will last until you're tired of using it for some reason.

I'm what some would call a gym rat. I have my own home Gym though.

Working out has solved a ton of problems for me. Anxiety, Depression, Mood Swings, Rage. You get into a routine, and you don't want anyone or anything to mess with it. It's what makes you feel good. For me its the difference between a productive day and an unproductive one.

Changing things up, especially with improvisation, can result in injury. Or just not getting a desired result. For example, I squat 400lbs or more. Would I try to squat a 400lbs stone, not only no, but hell no.

For some that go to real gyms, it's not just the workout. It's the comradery that comes with doing hard things with friends. It's socialization.

I think it has very little to do with being a rebel or a denier, and a lot more to do with it being a way of life, for a lot of us.

oh yeah heard VR Porn is a thing haha, never looked into it. Then remember hearing that the VCR won because the porn industry liked it more. I got a feeling Apple will ban those sort of apps unless they support WebXR... but kinda like with iOS PWA and other APIs support is lacking a bit in Safari compared to Android or Chrome. I know there's concerns Apple will dump WebGL since they deprecated OpenGL, but they should be able to create a shim on top of the metal APIs, since that was done for DirectX on Windows.
Inflation is the term you may be more familiar with. As availability of currency expands and becomes less valuable, the price of things goes up to maintain value parity. In particular, right now money is being printed to ease the effects of COVID-19 issues, which is causing a large spike in prices as a form of inflation.

To complicate matters, though, inflation is normally thought of as CPI; a measure of what people are spending on consumable items. Things like stocks, housing, and other assets that are jumping in price are not consumable goods and services. As such we try to avoid using the term inflation for this phenomena, but the principle is the same.

Modern monetary policy seeks to try and keep that added money off of "Main Street", so that your groceries and gasoline aren't skyrocketing in price, but ultimately the money has to go somewhere, and that somewhere is "Wall Street".

Hey Rob, have you read Taking charge of Adult ADHD? If so, what are your thoughts?
Hah! No, it's not. I was playing on stereotypes. There is a stereotype that local farmers-markets are for "liberal hippie" people (see: the television sitcom "Portlandia").

Based on my travels to other countries, local farmers markets are simply called "markets" and there is nothing unusual about them. In the USA, small local markets and co-ops are a fringe thing because we are fed almost entirely by industrial farming through vast supply chains that terminate at enormous multi-purpose grocery stores.

I may have a few facts wrong, but this consolidation started after WWII, and local food co-ops were considered liberal operations because it was "liberal hippies" who were opposed to the industrialization of food.

Seeing extremely far right subsets embracing what has generally been considered far left behavior is just amusing.

Hope this clarifies!

I wonder what the long term ramifications will look like of this debt. Even a democratic president won't be able to raise taxes enough to get debt levels back to a healthy level and the interest the US is going to owe is an alarming % of the federal budget. The US can say goodbye to the dollar being the world's reserve currency and goodbye to funding the programs that might spur renewed growth.

They do say crisis is an accelerator of the rise and fall of super powers!
Removing anything associated with people's identity is going to cause a ruckus. A lot of these things are part of people's mental and physical health regimens. The story is the same for bars, gyms, churches, etc.

You can work outside but you are limited by the weather, and by available equipment. In quarantine it has been impossible to find a squat rack and a complete set of barbell plates. Whereas every gym (besides planet fitness) will have several of these.

Further, "Heavy stone" workouts do not easily lend themselves to progressive overload, or varied programming.
they are still expanding their offer, with Apple+ and whatever Apple-not-quite-prime will be coming.

Also, Apple Silicon might be the beginning of something.

They're still overpriced, but I wouldn't look at them as having exhausted their potential increase in revenue/profits.

This is not typical in America, either, the last four years have been exceptional for a number of well-documented reasons.
Markets don't always work. They often work well, but when they don't, states will have to step in and fund things.
Yes, you are correct. What I wanted to say is that webassembly is a continuation in that direction.

At the time asm.js was ideated the alternative were browser plugins like NaCl, Flash, or Java.

The problem with asm.js is that the requirement to be a subset of javascript meant that some optimizations were impossible. wasm is another step in that direction.

Ask HN: Best email service for indie projects?
Do you have a preferred email provider for indie SaaS projects where you're sending ~1000 emails a day?

I'm currently using SendGrid and one of my group IPs has been blacklisted by a variety of email providers leading to delivery issues. Sendgrid's process for rectifying this issue seems to be pretty manual and slow. The cheapest plan that provides for static IPs is $90/month which is pretty pricey for an indie SaaS project.

Obviously, I don't expect any companies to focus specifically on low-volume (and therefore low revenue) clients, but I was hoping there might be a provider who is a bit more proactive in dealing with these issues.
AFAIK, the only ads are the ones described in the FAQ:

> A regular "Who Is Hiring?" thread appears on the first weekday of each month (or Jan 2). Most job ads are welcome there. Only an account called whoishiring is allowed to submit the thread itself. This prevents a race to post it first.

> Another kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down and fall steadily. Only one is on the front page at a time.

I'm not sure either of those qualify as ads in the sense we're talking about Reddit ads -- the first one doesn't bring in any revenue to HN (or cost "advertisers" any money); the second one seems like it's a perk for "graduating" YC and it's unclear whether it's something HN makes revenue from, either.

Respect to that, and to the wordpress team -- their codebase was a pleasure to work with many moons ago.

I’ve been thinking about this problem, and I wonder how important smell is to rituals and it what extent we can use olfactory sensations to trigger different mind spaces.

Ive had a certain degree of success mimicking this by adding smells via essential oil defusers are key points like “starting work” or “preparing for bed”, but I can’t say I’ve found a silver bullet. Still, I think there’s something here.
Since the cost of making that cup is all domestic (labor, rent, marketing etc. the beans are maybe 1% of the cost), it will not change. Imported products may become more expensive though.
Hi- I am a trademark lawyer and work with many SaaS companies. I will tell you, it is virtually impossible for even the biggest companies to have a trademark in every country. It is a time intensive and very costly process to expand your trademark "globally." We can rely on the Madrid Protocol to extend a US trademark to many other countries but every country is a separate cost and the trademark is reviewed according to the laws of each individual country. Our clients expand on an as needed basis. We look at the countries where a client has the most business and apply in those countries. Then little by little we may expand out to other countries. Be careful working with large law firms- they sometimes will scare a client into more protection then the need. But of course there is always a risk/benefit consideration. Yes, it could happen that another entity comes along with a similar mark for a similar business in a different country. But most companies do not have a billion dollar budget for trademarks. Feel free to email me with other questions. laurie@tmthespot.com tmthespot.com
The same sort of stuff was said about the 80s kids in my cohort because we were "latchkey" kids and watching lots of TV. It was bullshit then and bullshit now.

I don't put much stock in intelligence assessments. There's no real standards around the exams. My school placed you in cohorts based on IQ, and it was pretty obvious that the scoring system was measuring something other than your innate ability. My dad worked in civil service for many years, where promotions and appointments are governed by exams that were a combination of grammar tests and proxies for IQ exams. I didn't see any evidence that those assessments did anything other than reducing patronage and making it harder for non-native speakers to move up the ladder.
I don't know exactly what you mean by "quality" but there are certainly still a few non-smart models around, i.e. Sceptre U515CV-U for a $200 50" 4K model.

Or there are a couple of very large displays available that are advertised as monitors rather than TVs. i.e. the 43" Asus PG43UQ or 65" HP OMEN X Emperium.

Then there's the whole world of commercial displays, examples include the NEC E657Q or Samsung QB65R.
You are not going to produce a tear in the fabric of space-time by running a similar comparison, you'd simply be wrong, and life will go on as usual.

GDP is an aggregated annual "earning", a market capitalization is the value of all the outstanding shares of an entity, not a periodic earning.

A more meaningful comparison would be Apple's annual earnings ($260B, still quite a lot of money) vs a country's GDP, or Apple's market cap ($2T) vs the value of an entire country, rather than their latest GDP.

"They're worth $2T, but they didn't make $2T this year, they made $260B".
