> For example, landscapes look pretty darn realistic. Anything alive or even most man-made artefacts, not so much.

Which is something really obvious with the PS5 UE 5 tech demo [0]. The environment looks great and very realistic, while the character is very stylized and looks more like a comic than realistic.

This is nonsense. You completely disregard that the entire world's medical community has become vastly better at treating infectious people. In the early days, when NE states, Spain, Italy, etc. were hit hard, people who had to go to the hospital died at alarming rates. Since then, we have learned that prone position, dexamethasone, supplemental (non-intubated) oxygen, convalescent plasma, etc. contribute to vastly lower death rates. Of course per capita death rates are high in the NE states. We had no effective treatments then.
What platforms can it build for? I only saw mention of "windows application"
There is zero evidence that homelessness is caused to any substantial degree by high housing costs. The kind of people who are chronically homeless at $3000/mo/1br are also chronically homeless at $1000/mo/1br. They usually have some kind of mental problem or drug addiction, not just “they can’t afford rent”. The people at the margins of being able to afford housing usually just move elsewhere, rather than end up on the streets.
8k on a normal sized monitor is a gimmick, but 8k gaming on a 98"+ tv is not. These TVs are mega expensive right now, but they might not be in 2 years. Nvidia is ahead of the curve.

In hindsight, were there any signs?
Svelte.js (svelte.dev) would be my recommendation for frontend.
Buddy of mine broke his arm and the fire department showed up in a fire truck. I wonder if his insurance had to pay for that.
Zero evidence? That charging more for housing increases the number of people that cant afford housing? It’s tautological...

The majority of San Francisco’s homeless are from San Francisco and were recently homed.. if not for cost, what’s causing people with stable housing to end up on the streets?
Maybe someone in the field can pitch in, but I also saw this sentence in the article: "I have previously hypothesised that all human chronic autoimmune diseases are caused by Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection of autoreactive B cells,"

So it seems he's been hovering around the EBV hypothesis for longer than that so I am also curious if there was any real progress and whether this is something the medical research community is treating seriously.
Let's not mince words: the fact that the platform itself supports features like "private messaging" -- when most creators are attractive women in their 20s and most subscribers are men in their 30s and 40s -- is kind of a red flag. The staunch libertarian in me says "who cares, let people do whatever" but I do think it's a net negative overall (not to mention quite sad).
Cancer and heart disease are not contagious like Covid-19 is, why is this ridiculous equating done so often? It’s apples to oranges...

Also, some studies seem to suggest we’re actually undercounting the death rate [0]. Combine that with likely under reported data in Russia, China, and other countries, it’s clearly a significant threat.

I think it’s kind of crazy to say preventing potentially 10s of millions of people from dying is not a big deal and propaganda. Seems like searching for a grand narrative in something that’s rather pretty cut and dry.
They will. As people are borrowing against the current perceived value of these buildings
> costs are much higher

Much of this is caused by the high cost of housing. Everyone needs to be paid enough to live here or enough to be worth commuting long distances.

> availability of labor and land are extremely constrained

That's not really true. There's not a lot of empty land, but there's huge swaths of underutilized land. Only zoning law prevents it from becoming more useful. Instead we get crumbling single family homes a few miles from a growing number of skyscrapers.
Most people don’t spend 100% of their income on CoL. If you make $150k in SF, you have more surplus than if you make $50k in Madison (unless you really suck at budgeting).
The central claim in TFA is that when the government gives out loans directly, instead of guaranteeing loans made by banks, it's easier for students to get student loans, and therefore college prices go up.

a) Zero evidence is provided in TFA that it is in fact easier for students to get loans under the government program. I could make an equally compelling argument and say, when the private sector provides loans guaranteed by the government, private sector has a monetary incentive to seek out students and pile them high with loans that they can't afford. The loans are guaranteed by the government, so more loaning is direct upside.

In contrast, the government has no incentive to partake of predatory lending! Its incentives are aligned -- and not just on the monetary angle, but also, the government does not succeed if students are stuck in debt forever. Therefore when government gives the loans, incentives are aligned and lending goes down.

I've provided just as much evidence as Andrew. I'm not saying I'm right, but how do we know he is, either?

b) Andrew who?

c) TFA neglects to mention that you can take out up to $5500-7500 in government loans per year as an undergrad. https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/loans/subsidized... If they had, you might have doubted their claim that this is the reason that college costs $50+k/yr.

We are already under this dude's system of "government offers a small, fixed amount in loans and students have to figure it out". Prices are still high and increasing.

It turns out that the high cost of college doesn't have a simple explanation or solution. Who knew.
Rising college tuition is clear evidence of runaway fiat currency inflation. As soon as the US severed the peg to gold, prices have done nothing but inflate. I think colleges have figured out people are willing to take on increasing amounts of debt. The cost of loaning / creating money to pay for college is zero, so the tuition price ceiling is effectively infinite.
> a high salary seems fine to me...collective bargaining...

Is that what you see in this story? To me, it just seems like overtime abuse.

The "homeless people move to SF thing" is significant, but often overstated:

"[The] survey showed that 71% of San Francisco’s street people had formerly been housed in the city."

http://www.housethehomeless.org/myths-about-homelessness/
According to the BLS, white collar union members in the US have higher salaries, better benefits, more paid time off, and better retirement benefits. They also report having higher life satisfaction[1].

The same trend exists for blue collar union members, too.

> But then it's like, should we protect people from anti-vaccine messages or other misinformation? Is the only way to prevent societal collapse to have a higher authority step in and protect people who cannot resist temptation from themselves?

Society is comprised of people, and some members of society are indeed vulnerable and susceptible to abuse. Society is expected to step up to stop and punish abuse directed at vulnerable members of society, like how the police intervenes in domestic violence cases, and how social services intervenes in at-risk families.

I don't see the point of arguing against protecting the most vulnerable members of society. There is zero to be gained with Spartan approaches to it's weakest and most vulnerable members.

Ok for real, is Typescript going to collapse one day from the complexity of its type system?

Typescript's type system became Turing complete years ago, and hilariously, someone linked that issue to the new types mentioned in this post :)
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14833

I've been using Typescript for years, and I still like it. But I'm starting to get frustrated by the sheer amount of "stuff" they keep adding to the type system. My coworkers are too. They don't want to spend weeks reading about "advanced types", just want TS to be a nice wrapper around JS.

Typescript doesn't have a standard library or a runtime, so eventually can't they just call it done? Just do occasional maintenance releases to keep up with new JS features
I think this illustrates a weakness of legislation via ballot propositions. It is too easy for the resulting statutes or articles to be contradictory or become out of sync with new realities/data and there is no legislative mechanism to adjust.

In reading up on the process, I realize that there is a mechanism to sort our explicit conflicts, but that doesn't mean everything that is passed works well together in practice.
As a conservative I encourage you to question your staunch affiliation, and consider that the party you support no longer supports you.
There's nothing else like it and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. That being said, you always have a choice with how you perceive your circumstances, the story/narrative you tell to yourself about what happened, and further how you use all this to create a new life for you and your daughter. Take time to grieve the loss(es), but if you get a bit stuck, don't hesitate to ask for help (e.g., from a therapist, doctor, minister, friends, family, etc.).

Someone shared with me a metaphor during my divorce which I found helpful, so who knows, maybe it will help you as well:

Imagine your house being destroyed by a natural disaster. It sucks, you have to start over, and you have to cope with a lot of loss. Eventually, you get to the point where you're ready to build a new house. Only this time, you get to pick out what the new house looks like. You get to pick the decorations, the color of the paint, the fixtures, etc. It may not seem like it when you're in the immediate aftermath of the house being destroyed, but eventually, you build a house that is exactly the way you wanted/needed it, and maybe wouldn't have done otherwise if not for the natural disaster. It took hard work, pain, and perseverance, but you ended up even better than where you started. No one else did it for you. You made that happen.
It should be a simple contract with a checklist type of design and something that hopefully can be customized to a degree by both the parties.
Ask HN: How do you evaluate the culture of the dev team you're interviewing for?
I recently got a new job and the culture of what I expected the engineering team to be vs. how I am now experiencing it is vastly different.

The first thing that stands out is that during my interviews, everyone had their video on, but now during standups and sprint planning, no one (except me) has their video on; the standups are also everyone saying "yep, working on ticket 455, probably finish that today, that's all for me, no blockers" and no real interactive discussion or engagement.

Besides explicitly asking "do you all have video on for meetings?" or "is standup more than just a one line status update?", how do you evaluate (what kinds of questions do you ask) an engineering team when interviewing to get a good sense of their culture?

Isn’t it Youtube Premium now? For some weird reason Google sadly won’t let you buy ad free YouTube, unless you also have Youtube Music. I’m sure there’s a point to decision, but I don’t thing it has a basis in consumer demand.
That’s true over a certain amount. But 50k and a 200k mortgage will get you a lot more in Madison than 150k and a 600k mortgage in SF.
Not compared to northwestern europe. France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Germany are similar (not the same - similar). Scandinavia probably as well, but i don't have experience there.
This is where I see crypto moving us forward.

With crypto, there is no gate keeper. No Stripe or Patreon or Paypal in the way. I love Stripe by the way, but they too could in theory block me for whatever reason. Also on the other side of the coin, you have the buyer who can cancel their subscription at any time. You could even have a smart contract for 30 day refunds - which allows the refund for any reason but at least the buyer has committed by having their funds held in that contract for the 30. Stable coins can take the speculation out of it and are ideal for small amounts of "cash" for these kinds of transactions.

I think this problem is a great example of where crypto can shine where normal finance is held back. You can have the idealistic platform - Wordpress on your own server and some PHP code or something to check for payments - no one "owning it" on your behalf. Someone can wrap that as a SaaS, but anyone can, there is no need to go with the big unicorn provider.

That leaves the question of how to market your little market stall on the internet? Well like anything else, just use the right tool for the job. You don't need the payment platform to be the way people find you.

If a tech worker has half their compensation in bonuses and equity, is that bonus and equity abuse?

It could just be a different compensation structure to get fair pay.

That being said, I don't want to claim to know what a "fair" compensation is here. $80k, $100k, $150k, doesn't matter. If $150k is too high, then fix the compensation structure. Don't blame it on "overtime abuse" or some other reason that blames the workers for getting as much as they can from their job.
Many of the most successful Patreon profiles use the platform only as a way to provide a paid addition to their free podcast feed. You start supporting them, grab the private RSS feed and add it to your podcast app, then never visit Patreon again.

You turn off Patreon emails and push notifications because the episodes just show up in your podcatcher like any other podcast. Patreon isn't offering anything in the relationship beyond recurring monthly payment processing. RSS + your parasocial friendship with the podcast hosts are what builds the relationship.

I'd love it if a podcast-focused company stepped in to fill the same role. They could provide the same custom features that ATP and Dithering/Stratechery have added recently to their paid feeds. The UX of having "Free" and "Paid" feeds for the same podcast really sucks.

Zoning could arguably mitigate the problem, but geography strongly constrains the Bay Area in a way that simply does not apply to major metropolitan areas with vastly lower property values. Ironically, it really is pretty much supply and demand.

It's wishful thinking that the rest of America's real estate market is much more affordable due to wise zoning choices.

A lot of the land that seems underutilized is contaminated (SuperFund sites, ex-military, industrial, etc) and requires significant remediation. Even so, Peninsula residents still spend $1M for townhouses and condos built on former SuperFund sites. That's the discount price...
I'm bitter enough about the abuse of salaried positions and "crunch time" and 50-60 hours/week as normal that when I see other jobs get paid overtime, I have a hard time summoning resentment.

SF "protects" its single family neighborhoods by herding all the heroin, hookers, and new housing into a few containment zone neighborhoods.

There's a lot of progressive talk to dress up traditional conservative policies. Sadly, the best thing SF has done for progressivism is serve as a warning to other progressive cities that they need to put action behind their rhetoric.

"Welcome to the shitty end of the employment pool. If you don't want to get stuck here, stay in school kids!"

Is not a solution, it's a personal escape hatch for the few that can follow the advice. Even if everybody "stayed at school" there would still be a need for these jobs, so it would just be that degrees would devaluate so that people are still working those. At worse, they would be done by immigrants who don't have the means or support to "stay at school" anyway.

In other words, as long as there are people working those jobs, the answer is not "stay in school to avoid them", but in fixing the horrible conditions.

"Stay in school" is a quinteseential individualistic "each to their own" answer.

A civilized answer would be legal changes...

1. Death is not the only health problem caused by COVID-19. Patients who survive are also coming out with persistent lung damage and respiratory problems. Nobody knows the very long term (more than a year) health effects either.

2. “Destroying life as we know it” is a pretty dramatic way of saying “Stay home, wear a mask when you have to go out, and wait until things are better to get your nails done.” Plus, lots of people are not even doing that! They’re out horsing around anyway, putting more people at risk and further extending the crisis.

Entirely possible, but also maybe people who have positive experiences with unions can't be bothered talking about them when the popular narrative of 'unions are bad' means they're inevitably going to have to defend them and explain every bad thing that has ever happened at or adjacent to a union.

I'm a union member, but man do I think twice about ever commenting on anything to do with a union because of the huge negative wave that comes your way.
