Thanks for the detailed reply!

One more thing comes to my mind: Overpopulation. Number of people growing faster than what hospitals and universities etc can be created?

And from what I've read elsewhere, the things you mentioned: health care, safe food supply, and education, is a good way to handle the problem with overpopulation -- since when people know there's a basic safety net, with health care and food, there's no need to have many children who can help out, when one is old.

> If that sounds like a ridiculously low bar

Yes and I'm actually a bit surprised. And now I understand better why good health care & anti-poverty things are that important for handling malaria

The issue here is that (in the US), we've ended up with the worst of all the worlds. A case spike in NYC on the scale of Italy's, but without the same level of lockdown, and without similar widespread efforts, so instead of being down to 1 case per 100K people per day, we're 10x higher and dropping more slowly.

Combine that with a refusal to do (or for the government to enforce) simple, easy things that reduce spread even in otherwise relatively normal life (masks), and you get a situation that will require a longer, more painful response than if we did the more invasive stuff early on.

> there's quite a difference in Italy for example from the "hundreds new cases a day" in march, with a unknown size pool of undetected cases, and "hundred new cases a day" but everyone else is fine and contact tracing will find the rest.

I think you're also underestimating the difference a bit. It went from 5,000 new cases per day to ~100 per day, although there's since been an uptick to around 1000 cases per day.

But the level of containment in those nations is such that its generally safe to have offices open. Less so in most of the US.
You're right. An example use case.

Monitor having issues. Google solution. Land on a forum, but to see the full post / solution it requires email registration. I register with a junk yahoo type email address. Complete the long form, solve all the traffic lights, etc. Then get the solution, make a few posts and probably forget about it.

Monitor having problem again after 2 years same forum but it says my very unique username is taken. Now, I vaguely remember creating an account but don't remember what email I used. I try to reset my password but dang, each time it says "If that email was in our db you'll get it". If I get a hint I used yahoo maybe I can resume and hopefully use my old account and some post count than starting a 1 day old account with 0 post.

Privacy apps have their place in the FOSS Linux world. Usually GNU/Linux users don't pay money for software though. There aren't really good polished options on LineageOS and the other FOSS Android forks. Maybe OP could sell software to that community (nothing about being FOSS means you can't charge money). Might as well just skip the mainstream operating systems because people there by default don't care about privacy.

> Q.) Why did you make the switch? What’s wrong with bash? A.) You can do a lot of advanced things with bash, and customize it to do even more, but ZSH allows you to do even more. This was one really large selling point.

AFAICT this is the entire motivation provided. Since they start with stating that it's a very large change, It would be useful to flesh out the motivation a bit. For instance, some concrete examples of those "even more" things that you can do with zsh but not with bash would go a long way.
Price is driven by the relationship between supply and demand. More money to spend means increased demand (assuming it isn't all saved), but if supply can increase to meet it that doesn't necessarily mean prices have to rise. If there are bottlenecks in the supply chain yes prices could go up, but also efficiencies of scale can even push prices down depending on the product.

Regardless of any change in prices of those goods there will be more economic activity to meet the demand. That economic activity comes from somewhere and could increase costs, and therefore prices elsewhere in the economy. So I think some inflation is inevitable.

The rise in stock prices since the pandemic crash is largely driven by the increase in the money supply. That money sloshing around has to go somewhere, and it's poured into stocks. This is because people aren't spending as much in the lockdown, so the excess money is going into savings.

This is sad because as Json seems to be taking over. Despite its terseness Json lacks a standardized way to do validation (ie xsd), transformations (ie xslt) and service definitions (ie wsdl).

Its regrettable that such a vast ecosystem exists for a markup language to facilitate its use in data transfer, transformation and validation.

It seems like a waste that so many working standards seem to have just been tossed away with nothing to put into their place because Json saves a few bits on the wire.

Also regrettable is the fact that there seems to be resistance in developing similar standards for json.

1. Yes I'm planning on releasing Songwhip Pro (https://songwhip.com/pro) which will be a customizable version of the free product targeted at artists, labels and marketers. It'll allow an artist name to be 'claimed' unlocking write access and pro-only features.

> What to do?

Mandatory tutoring seems unrealistic and probably wouldn't yield quality, but I do think that some kind of scaled tutoring "norm" would be incredibly valuable to society. Just as Khan Academy has revolutionised explanations of complex topics (resolving the ambiguities from school), scaled tutoring in which everyone participates could augment traditional teaching with soft skills, conversation, expansive exploration of worldly topics, and specific technical help.

Imagine a norm where ~everyone, in some way, relays knowledge and experience to youth, freeing youth from the segregation of school. It's always been odd to me that we separate ourselves (especially in western culture) from people of a different age. There's not as much integration between children and adults (outside of formalised schooling) as there could be. This separation seems to limit the transfer of knowledge but also the transfer of culture. And I think it also prevents bridges of commonality and empathy from forming, further entrenching homogeneity and aversion to difference.

It's worth asking ourselves: what would a society look like if we ~all engaged in the education of our young?

1) I think UBI would probably be a very good thing.

2) I can’t help but laugh at how comical these tests are at measuring the impacts of a UBI policy. 2yr temporary welfare payments of 6,720 Euro a year to a tiny, biased subset of the populace is NOT going to give us an idea of the impacts of a UBI policy. Please, someone, at least agree to the payments in perpetuity.

> NIT and UBI funded by progressive income taxes are identical policies.

Not really, because under UBI, literally everyone would get money from the government, hence the "U". If you remove that feature of the system it wouldn't be UBI anymore, it would just be yet another means-tested system. Unlike UBI, Friedman's negative income tax would phase out and not everyone would be eligible. With NIT, some people would get money, some would pay no taxes, and some would pay taxes.

> I think it would be too expensive now to build those same houses with handcrafted details.

On a tangential question - I sometimes wonder why modern buildings are so boring. Postwar buildings in many European cities are drab and devoid of interesting detail and yet with CAD designs, 3D printing and so on it should be possible to create all kinds of intricate detail (perhaps let a computer conjure up a wild pattern to dress up a facade with, like something from a Tool album cover) to create visually interesting features - cheaply. I think it's much more to do with postmodernism rather than cost. There was a great discussion on HN some time ago about it which I cannot find unfortunately.
Thanks for mentioning Lazarus IDE. I like it a lot.

A few months ago I developed a Kanban tool to organize my personal tasks. I use the tool under Windows and Linux, it works fine.

For me the big advantage of Lazarus/FreePascal is that you have to write the business logic only once and you compile the code for different environments to get native binary files (no interpreter used). In case of operating system specific code you can use conditional compilation (e.g. {$ifdef MSWINDOWS}) but in my case that wasn't really necessary.
I also wouldn't blame them for not fixing old bugs if they had a shortage of developers. But letting critical security bugs go un-patched, so that your team can work on obscure shiny new stuff instead, that looks like wrong priorities to me.

Nobody would switch to Firefox for WebUSB, which is why I chose it as the example. There's only crickets on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hashtag/webusb

Instead, people switch to Firefox for privacy, safety and reliability. Mozilla should prioritize those areas highly. But in the past, they haven't. Instead, they burned a lot of money on acquiring 3rd party services that many Firefox users see as nothing more than unnecessary bloat. Like $30 mio for Pocket.

That's why I point the blame at their management, not their code base or developers.

And just FYI, I'm pretty sure I could hire a world-class team and build an excellent Speech-to-Text Engine just from Mozilla's management budget for a single year. Because AFAIK, their (in my opinion incapable) management pocketed $80 mio in 2018.

https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2018/mozilla-fdn-201...
You've actually touched on something very important here: Mozilla seems to be getting its fingers into more than it can handle. It wants to do everything but ends up doing a lot of things fairly poorly.

I switched away from Firefox to Brave yesterday. Became tired of how Firefox threads would consume 99% of my CPU endlessly until they're manually killed. This happened about four or five times a day, I'd only notice when performance of everything else tanks. I wish Mozilla would direct more resources towards Firefox than Lockwise and all the other half-baked junk they're spending developer time on.

> I consider the root problem the monopoly the cable providers have, as its by far the fastest way to driver internet compared to ADSL. As such, I’ve put my hopes on fiber optical arriving soon, which exposes a much larger market on which multiple providers can compete.

Not that this a grave KPN - the ex-state phone and copper network company - dug entirely for itself. There were a lot of fiber companies and rollouts happening over the last decades, but KPN all bought them out and stopped the rollout, to prevent competition with its aging copper network.

So now the result is Ziggo - the merger of all the ex-state cable companies - has a virtual monopoly on fast internet, as xDSL/copper hasn't kept up with DOCSIS/cable by a long shot, and KPN controls all the FtH but has a dismal coverage percentage.

Median household wealth is actually at £280k according to government resources, which would about half your 15k to 7.5k roughly. Also, this is not money, it's property value.

If you take a look at the wealth of the average population, two thirds are either pensions or property wealth. This is longterm money which I cannot draw on until retired (and most certainly won't affect my children) and property which I might depend on and therefore not be able to turn into money.

Also people are largely not against generational wealth, they're just demanding that rich people pay their fair share when inherting property wealth to their children. Taxing the top 10% correctly and without fraud would bring in enough cash to support the bottom 30% a lot more through public housing, health care and childcare support.

A UBI for contrast, is direct payment to my bank account that I can use however I like, it's not locked by its form of wealth. I CAN use that payment to save more of my own money to eventually get property wealth, but it gives the people at the bottom possibilities that they won't have without it. Also, poor people don't give a fuck about the median household wealth. Because they won't have any. The UBI however applies to all, poor and rich alike, supporting poor families a lot more than property wealth they don't have.

I don't agree that textbooks aren't affected by regulations. Regulations permit easily available student loans which leads to the glut of college students who need to buy books. The books aren't exactly a free market as you are told by the school which books and which version to buy. Also, government programs subsidize textbooks.

Bulgaria here. I don't know if the comparison is even relevant as we don't have normal mobile data plans anymore. Most of the plans are providing 5-10 GB of data to all networks and websites and some GBs to specific websites like social media and popular ones.

These are the three most common cases that I find for needing raw HTML:

1. Adding classes to elements, for styling; admittedly this may be inapplicable to some visions of a document web, if you can’t write stylesheets.

2. Images. If you’re dealing with known images, you should always set the width and height attributes on the <img> tag, so that the page need not reflow as the image loads. Markdown’s image syntax (![description](src)) doesn’t cover that. (Perhaps an app could load the image and fill out the width and height as part of its Markdown-to-HTML conversion, but I haven’t encountered any that do this.)

3. Tables. CommonMark doesn’t include tables, and even dialects that do support tables are consistently insufficient so that I have to write HTML. For example: I often want the first column to be a heading; but I don’t think any Markdown table syntaxes allow you to get <th> instead of <td> for the first cell of each row.
