It seems to me that its not really that different from a household. A household can also end up ahead if it outspends in ways that contribute to future growth. In fact, most people do to get an education, buy a house, etc.

It seems to me that it's not a really question of whether or not its a household, its whether the spending actually contributes to growth. Fundamentally, that depends on how its spent. If you spend the money bombing countries in the middle east, probably not.

I really don’t care who is for it. Migration has to be regulated, else we will return to the mean. Every other state exercises that right but when the US does it then it’s «bad» and «selfish», etc.

We could do it the Canadian or Australian way. Remember all those Americans who thought they could simply slip across the Canadian border and be good? Even they don’t just let anyone in.

I love finding more BIFL products, and used to go to the subreddit for inspiration. However, it became mostly one person saying that X product lasted them a really long time with little corroboration. Hopefully this takes off and can get some group consensus on products.

Firstly, let's make it clear that we are now talking about broad concepts and not necessarily how it applies to the example of this situation at hand.

Under many jurisdictions' consumer laws, advertised features or promises by the manufacturer are not everything that they are legally held to. There is also statutory warranty, and other parts of consumer law, which can include rules on basic expectations of how that category of consumer item is expected to perform (I'm not talking CPU speeds, but major issues like a keyboard fundamentally not working at a reasonable success rate), how long it's reasonably expected to work without failing (for that category of item), and so on.

Very broad principles, but with some clear examples provided by consumer bodies to consumers, and it's reviewed on a case by case basis. You can bring it to the proverbial small claims court (or consumer complaint body), and they can review the claim.

I suppose I just won't bring up this matter to HN before. It's too alien to the US consumer situation and mustn't apply to most readers here.
What makes you confident the ad-hoc hold downs are superior, instead of "deficient" as well? Do you think they're ever even done the same way twice? What's the chance some mechanics at a particular dealer made it up, and nobody else even knows about it? As you mentioned, it was not "designed" or "validated", how could anyone be confident that it's safe, effective, or even superior to what it replaced?

Or were you being sarcastic?

This is a very odd argument in the USA context. People showed self determination by emigrating from poverty and lack of economic opportunity in Europe – they didn't stay "…doing the hard work to build viable economies."

Now the US people are denying other people the same opportunities their not-to-distant grandparents had. I guess it's an insiders market.

I find your concept of US "owing" anyone anything strange. Depending on your political opinions you might think that humans "owe" each other equal opportunity.

It is mentioned in there but its really damn hard to find it and the part on it doesn't actually make it clear its describing the new taste. I read the entire article, reached the same conclusion, then went back over it closely cause I was really confused.

> The evidence for fat as a taste is overwhelming, Mattes says. There is at least one receptor found on human taste cells, called CD36, that can detect fat. There is also a mechanism for it to transduce signals to the brain, and these signals seem to be tuned specifically for fat. There are also sensory experiments where people can sensitively detect fat on their tongues.

> ...

> The evolutionary argument is that humans have the ability to detect a specific type of fat known as free fatty acids, which are present in rancid food. The food industry has been aware of this for decades and goes to great lengths to eliminate free fatty acids from food. The reason why olive oil is cold pressed, for instance, is to reduce the temperature-dependent oxidation of the oil, which produces these free fatty acids and fouls the taste of the oil.
My guess is that they're over engineering the cooling because PS4's have terrible fan noise when under heavy load. It's not uncommon for my PS4 Pro to ramp up the fans to the point I get distracted by it over the audio from a game.

So if this over engineering ends up causing a quiet game system then this is a win in my book.

This forum has mostly Americans. There is a recent meme in American politics that says that someone arguing that both sides are the same is a bad thing. Because they're actually arguing in favor of one of the sides in some hidden manner, or because not picking sides only supports a bad status quo, or something like that. Anyway, it's bad and you got to downvote it.
> The number of professional musicians has dropped dramatically over the decades.

This is completely orthogonal to the question how much talent there is. The fact that less people can make a living doing something that doesn't require any capital investment, just time and skill, doesn't have any real direct impact on how many people get really good at it.

"It's just a hobby" is a weak put-down, and really doesn't apply to thousands of people who play instruments at incredibly high levels of skill, even though they do not do so for a living. Certainly, it's going to help development if you play more (for whatever reason). But I don't think that you can claim that only way to get to be "that good" is to be a paid professional. There are many musicians whose early work as a "professional musician" was just a side gig anyway, and they didn't play significantly more than dedicated "hobbyists".

The spread of music education (public and private) and the dramatic drop in the real cost of musical instruments has exposed way more people to the possibility of playing music. Sure, most of them will be in the middle of the bell curve, but this process has (1) lifted the absolute height of the bell curve (more people) which (2) means more people over at the right-hand end of the curve.

Oracle proposes a change for the sake of uniqueness, but uniqueness is not copyrightable. And if non-copyrightable change is all you can reasonably do, then there's little if any room for creativity.

Excerpt from Microsoft response:

We have decades of experience and know full well how to appropriately create opportunities for people without taking away opportunities from others. Furthermore, we know that we need to focus on creating more opportunity, including through specific programs designed to cast a wide net for talent for whom we can provide careers with Microsoft. One thing remains true of all our programs. We hire and promote the most qualified person. And nothing we announced in June changes that. Instead, our continued focus is to work hard to consider and develop the broadest range of qualified candidates for opportunities.

Nation is very different from a household. There is lot more people, they are anonymous. You need money to track who owns to whom, in household everybody knows. The worker specialization is much more relevant in the national economy. There is labor and trade and different political interests. I could go on and on.

Addendum: It might be true that in the nation as in the household, you should be aware if you are entering an external contract with someone, like borrowing money. But the question of internal debt between the citizens of the nation cannot be reduced to household economy, there is no such thing as an austere husband lending money to his wife.

> people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic but are struggling to find work because of the abundance of H-1B holders

That’s a straw man. Those people do not exist. Look at the data.

There’s currently 18 million unemployed Americans. The majority of pandemic related job losses are low wage retail, hospitality and restaurant workers.

There’s a total of 500k H1b visa holders in the US, the vast majority of which are in IT.

There is very little (if any) overlap between those groups.

You aren’t suddenly going to make more money by kicking out all the immigrants. That’s not how the economy works. Those H1b holders are also consumers who spend a majority of their salaries on taxes and products/services in the US. Kicking out 500k people would further hurt unemployment in sectors hit most by the pandemic.
An issue I see here is that while punishing the poor is clever way of reducing poverty, a monetary punishment risks trapping them in a negative spiral. Beating them up (but not so much they can't work) or even killing them might work better.

This isn't something special to the US, though, and i'm pretty certain if it was changed so that folks in Indiana made the same money as California, folks in California would make worse wages.

The truth is, though, that folks getting paid well in Indiana can generally live better on the lower wage simply because things are that much cheaper. Perhaps you wish to subsidize living in the more expensive areas and increase the safety net?

Maybe you should place some pressure on companies to move headquarters into more affordable places. Lots of places have international airports, after all, so that shouldn't hinder folks much.

Do you think your representatives gives two farts about what folks in a different part of the country are paid so long as folks in his or her district are living well enough? Or should folks in the area living well be enough of a concern?

Do you have solutions for these things that are fair to the folks needing to live in the expensive areas (poor folks have little to no choice in the matter)?

We now want to exercise our self determination as a nation like everyone else does.

Kind of a fun story that's related. A friend of mine ran a machine shop in the early 2000s that had the world's largest plasma cutter. Apparently one afternoon the police and FAA showed up to investigate their property. The plasma cutter was generating enough interference to cause computer problems at IAH airport and on landing planes (their shop was in the flight path of the aiport.) Allegedly it had taken the FAA months to figure out where it was coming from due to the fact the plasma cutter was typically only running for a few minutes at a time.

I run a SAAS and still personally (non-automated) send a welcome /check-in/onboard email to every single signup. I've sent a 1000+ in the last year.

I try to make them really personalized. Like if your website is acmewidgets.com - I'll put "Acme Widget Help?" as the subject.

My own takeaways:

1. Plain Text for sure

2. Super short - my standard sort of email is now about 3 sentences.

3. Ask a question - in my case there's a couple of driving reasons to sign up so I try and make sure they're doing ok.

Even with all of the above I still maybe am only getting a 30% response rate.

By the mid 90s the domestics had more or less closed the gap. They just didn't apply the techniques and processes to the product lines they didn't care about (i.e. economy cars, they were selling SUVs hand over fist after all). And if you look at MRSPs for foreign and domestic economy cars throughout the 90s the prices more or less reflect the respective OEM's level of investment in those product lines. If you wanted an economy car you bought a Civic. If you wanted a shitbox you bought an Escort for less money.

> I am short $TSLA on the basis of comparative valuation only

What are you comparing the valuation to? Other car companies? Revenue? I ask because when there are so many emotional investors in a stock like Tesla, I've found it hard to rationalize the price. For that reason, I'm nervous about going short or long for any length of time. That said, I've had a lot of success day trading the price action.

A Short Story About SQL's Biggest Rival
There is actually, and the court argued as such: if Android had been compatible with Java programs, Google could have claimed a fair-use exemption. Since Android can't run many Java programs, by design, they can't claim such an exemption.

> The problem is that the internet broke the newspapers and cable tv. The internet has been able to allow people to get to the truth. Look at that maga hat kid story; if this were 75 years ago. The newspapers would never have retracted. The change is that we can watch the whole thing and see how the media spun the story in a completely false way. As they have done for decades. The internet has ruined their long history of being able to spin stories. They know their enemy, it's the internet.

That story doesn't show what you think it does. The media didn't create the initial misleading cuts of that event, social media users did (i.e. "the internet"). The media reported on those cuts (and the reaction to them), then it reported on the longer cuts that surfaced later. If the internet hadn't existed, the whole thing would have been a literal non-event.

While social media "has been able to allow people to get to the truth" it also has been at least as effective in helping people get to lies and disinformation. See QAnon, Pizzagate, and this Covington High School student video, for instance.

Watch the video again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZk6VzSLe4Y

Trump was asked to condemn "white supremacists and [right wing] militia groups" and was pretty equivocal and strangely reluctant to do so. That's the story. The Proud Boys were just an example that was thrown out by Biden. While they probably fit more into the militia group side of that formulation, the they don't seem like the kind of top-down bureaucratic organization that would allow easy inference about the group from it's "leader."
