I'm not sure that's entirely true. What wealth exactly is exported from urban centers to small towns and rural communities? Tax revenue? Ya likely that.

Otherwise I'd argue the reverse. Banking, media, software etc. seem to export wealth from smaller communities back to urban centers. In this regard large urban centers can be regarded something as absentee landlords receiving grapes and oil and Amish furniture and exporting spreadsheets and compliance audits.

Everyone here is talking about the business model, but how about the actual content?

Every single article I read about Quibi before today was about how bad their series are. And while I haven't seen a single show myself, the worst offenders do seem like the type of trash that made people run away from regular TV to begin with. Chrissy's Court, Gayme show, Murder House Flip...

I imagine you can make a bad idea work with good content, and you can make bad content work with a good, convenient platform. But I suppose there is not much you can do when the entire internet is complaining about both of them.
I'm quite sure Swiss taxes are lower than US taxes. A married person earning CHF 100,000 in Zurich with three kids will receive CHF 92,000 after tax and including the "family allowances", or thereabouts. In Washington State, a married person making $100,000/yr will take home only $83,666.
I wouldn't characterize Katzenberg as a founder in the 'startup founder' sense we're used to talking about here on HN. DreamWorks was essentially built to do exactly what he had already been doing at Disney: Make and/or distribute big blockbuster films. Film production is a pretty standardized thing, as is distribution, so if you know how to make movies then you can just plug into the distribution ecosystem and off you go!

Building and distributing apps is, however, not a consistently repeatable solved problem. Unlike movies, scale, budget, stars, and connections don't dramatically increase your chances of success... even if the content is great.

So no, I don't think Katzenberg has the type of "founder" experience that would naturally give him an advantage in learning how to understand a market that he has no experience with.

Tangentially, I was just looking at Dreamworks' filmography, and it's VERY impressive. My mind is specifically blown, though, that Steven Spielberg released Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can six months apart in the same year. That is... pretty incredible.

Any competent hiring manager would see it as a plus. A military job, no matter the rank or role, involves discipline, good work ethic, and dealing with abrasive personalities (boot camp drill instructor if nothing else).

If your hiring manager doesn’t see that and instead inserts some dumb personal bias, congrats! You just dodged a bullet by filtering out a job you really don’t want.

It was only 2020 that people outside the software industry started using video conference as more than a novelty. It seems surprising that people think software is close to done (and even if it was, it doesn't invalidate the supposition).

I suspect they might need a little bit of software written. More people work on apps for the iPhone than worked building the iPhone.
I feel the same with Twitter re-design too. Everyone was hating the re-design when it was launched but my twitter use increased from once or twice a week to couple of times a day after the new design.

It is amazingly fast(on desktop at least), behaves in all the right ways you would expect, you never lose you position anywhere, using back button always works properly, gracefully handles connection loss, and again, it's so fast and pleasurable to use. Too bad can't say the same for the content on the site.
I think it also depends on what kind of music you listen to. Music that is very "busy" with bass and percussion is more difficult for young kids to pick up, in my experience. Also the more difficult the vocal performance, the harder it will be to follow.

My wife and I listen to a lot of classical and hymns with simple 4-part harmonies. We have 7 kids, most of whom could match the songs pretty well at surprisingly young ages (2 or 3 years old).
Thanks for the reply and I agree. I've found the "strong program" of postmodern science and technology studies to be a place where this is addressed. It is insufficient to claim that truth-believers believe things because they are true and falsehood-believers believe weird things because of psychological or material factors. Progress can only be made when we use the same rubric for evaluating people whether we agree with them or not.

I feel that your concern with the motivating factors of emotion is apt. People do not believe things because they seem true, they believe things because those things help resolve tension between their own psyche, their own experiences, and their perception of the current and future worlds.

If a program intended to mitigate human biases does not use the same rules for apparently true beliefs and apparently false beliefs, fails to account for the fact that truth-knowing persons are still just as biased as those in error, and denies the primal motivating factors that we call 'emotions', it will fall into error and fail to achieve its objective.
Yeah of course not, computers today as we know them will never lead to agi.
Is propofol not a general anaesthetic? That's what I was given for my colonoscopy. Totally knocked out, and when I opened my eyes again it was all over.

Side note: I was never warned about a particular effect of propofol. They started pumping it in and told me to count down from 10. At about 5, I suddenly felt this horrible searing, burning pain in my IV-connected arm that I felt spreading throughout my body. Thinking something was terribly wrong, I opened my mouth to say I'm feeling awful pain, but by then I was already falling unconscious. So I only consciously felt the pain for a few seconds, feeling totally fine (besides grogginess) when I woke up, but it was panic-inducing and some of the worst pain I've felt.

Apparently it's pretty common for propofol. I think they might have told me I might feel a little discomfort, but they didn't mention the possibility of sudden, dramatic pain, for some reason. I could've grit my teeth through those seconds if I knew it was possibly going to happen, but I feared that I was having an unexpected severe allergic reaction or something, so I spent those few seconds absolutely terrified.
> the fear of established, professionalised, closed-up armies is actually a very ur-American idea, threatening peace, equality and so on.

Indeed; if you read the documents, antipathy to the concept of a standing army is a primary motivation for the second amendment.
Electoral College Decision Tree In A Radial Dendrogram
Unemployment is not the only economic measure. Basically what you're advocating is fighting misleading claims by politicians by creating your own, even more misleading (at least the politicians talk about unemployment when they say "unemployment") metrics which makes even harder for the voter to understand what is going on because it mixes a half-dozen of different societal problems into one number.

> if you look at the "true" unemployment, i.e., what that voter is thinking, which is how poor are Americans overall

Unemployment is not a measure how poor people are. While unemployment can lead to poverty, it's not the same as poverty. It's like saying "we'll add a number of sick people, obese people, people not working out, old people, people eating too much sugar, people not eating enough vegetables, people who smoke and people who drink alcohol - and call it 'true health index' and will demand to treat this number as if all these people were actually sick". Somehow you think it's more clear this way?

> well you'd actually see a pretty glooming picture with a large number of Americans living below poverty

There already are statistical measures of poverty. You don't need to call them "true unemployment". Call them "measures of poverty".
I like your comment the most. I want to add to it that it also had the effect of increasing the quality of the world by outsourcing the building to third world nations. The countries that are now manufacturing and building have crawled out of poverty in doing so. This backfired a bit because the countries were supposed to become friendly to democracy, but it seemed it just fueled more dictators than anything else.
Ask HN: Is it possible to use Google search results like startpage.com does?
I’d like to make a website like startpage.com. In their FAQ they say they have some agreement with Google.

Does anyone know how I can get a similar agreement?

Gooogle Custom Search has some limits, like 10K calls per day if the whole internet is searched. So that’s not the answer.

My goal? Build something like Ecosia.org but using Google.
This, to me, is one of the biggest draws of owning an EV. Instead of making a weekly trip to a gas station, you can drive home, and spend a few seconds plugging the car in. That alone is worth a lot. No crowded gas stations, fumes, traffic, etc.
Flip it around and I might say that some people are more attracted to bad news and hope for the worst and are disappointed that the situation isn't truly that bad?

I'd say most of the world is wired towards the drama of bad news, which is why there is so much demand for it.
> While the company has respect for the creativity, they say Stadium uses public APIs in a way that Apple does not intend. Specifically, it extends WebKit to expose native APIs that allows websites access to Bluetooth. The company points to App Store Review Guideline section 2.5.1 that requires apps to use public APIs only “for their intended” purposes and the Apple Developer Program License Agreement 3.31 that requires the same

Hmm, Apple seems to be saying that the browser gave web apps unrestricted access to bluetooth, so they banned them under the anti-exploit section? I guess bridging system APIs to web apps could result in additional security and privacy holes, but game controller support seems like an eminently solvable issue, especially considering that Luna will access game controllers out of the box in Safari without any webkit extensions or bridging the native bluetooth APIs.

It's worth noting that apps like Scriptable also appear to bridge native APIs to webkit and JavaScript.
I imagine that in physics the experiments are more guided by theory - there are less 'random' experiments - like for example the recent testing if some random substance cures Covid19. When you have lots of random experiments - some of them will be just accidents, and it is the accidents that would get published - because they are the new and exciting news.

Overall, things in general are still slowly getting better for everyone on average.

Overall, global temperatures are still slowly getting higher for everyone on average, too.
I think 3 things have a massive benefit to reducing stagnation and decline of equality;

1) Estate tax - reduce dynastic wealth and recirculate it to even the playing field with good education opportunities in all regions and similar social programs to separate birth to income. Its always going to be there but reducing this should be a goal.

2) Focusing on small business vs large corporate. Literally making policy that favours smaller companies be it lower regulation, taxes etc. But you have to actively help the up and comers to disrupt the market vs protect large interests.

3) Break monopolistic behaviour. We really need to reduce the acquisition takeover culture. And not just mega corp but so often to see things like all the Dentists in a small city are owned by one family type thing. Im not sure the way to deal with this but possibly proportional asset taxes?

Generally I think governments role is to run the nation for the benefit of the people and economic efficiency is the the be all and end all of achieving this.
We've only got 3.5 networks to choose from, competition on price is mediocre. It's more competitive than residential networks in most of the country, but that's not saying much.
If the government auctions off spectrum at a flat price then it gets certainty, which normally comes at a premium; doing revenue share the government retains more of the risk, so orthodox economics would say that it will get a better price on average.

There's also an argument that the government doesn't actually realise any advantage from selling off the risk: if the telecom companies fail, it's still the government's problem. So the government ends up paying extra for something it can't actually use.

Not to take away from your post, because I largely agree, but the Epstein drive might as well be magic. In no realistic universe are there large battle cruisers zipping around the solar system under constant 1G (or even Mars’ third-G) acceleration for months at a time.

But aside from that and the whole aliens technology thing the plot revolves around, it is very realistic. They certainly get a lot closer than anybody else.

Saying ‘we are utterly fucked in the medium term’ is what more folks need to do. Too many people have their heads in the sand even now.
My late business attorney would have said the same thing. The act of building a business financial model includes questions about the specific business. You can have assumptions about expenses, but how you create revenue is likely highly unique. The balance between these items can only be constructed through conversations, not plugging numbers in a template.
FWIW (and not to stop you from getting a colonoscopy—you should!), I have had symptoms like this on and off through adulthood (20 years or so).

For this reason and a couple other IBS symptoms, I've gotten two colonoscopies, one capsule endoscopy, and one sigmoidoscopy in my day. And all have come back negative for anything whatsoever.

Again, if you've got symptoms, see a doctor. But if you're like me and freak out at everything and assume you're dying at the drop of a hat—it's likely not something awful.

My point was We have no data on how much or rapidly the earth cooled during an ice age and any data presented For that would be extremely dubious at best. So again, correlation could be causation here and there is merit to limiting CO2 to see the effects but maybe the problem needs more studying instead of the proposed vast economic and social policy changes that aren’t guaranteed to work and will usurp tons of resources in the process.
This is something I've been wondering for a while, perhaps someone here knows. I've had two colonoscopies, and my understanding was that what they used was a sedative, but I was definitely totally unconscious. What's the line between sedation and general anaesthesia?
I once came across a plant in Quebec that was only "profitable "because it had a huge discount on the rate it paid for electricity, only to later generate electricity from their waste heat and sell it back to the government at a highly inflated rate. The government was happy to do this so that the plant wouldn't shut down and workers wouldn't lose their jobs
Grinding out web apps is a desk job. If you're lucky enough to have one of the software development jobs which involves pushing the boundaries, a lot more time is spent thinking, planning and problem solving than typing.
I completely disagree with your definition of premium. Something has to go beyond basic functionality to be premium, entirely separate of how it's being sold or not sold.

And someone with the screen off is using far less bandwidth. I doubt it's hard to make money off them, even with reduced ad revenue.
That’s quite ironic. If the planet is doing it then we are screwed no matter what so just live your life now.

> Significant whitespace seems like a good idea and looks great in small examples but it has some very serious downsides in real use.

In some contexts, sure, which is one reason why YAML has two presentational styles with equal semantic power, between which a suitable tool can convert mechanically, and only one of those two styles features whitespace sensitivity.

> Being able to reliably reformat hundreds of lines of code with a single keypress is far more valuable than a few saved braces.

YAML gives you the ability to freely switch between a presentational style which provides the former and one which provides the latter, with no loss of semantic power, so it doesn't really matter which is better, since you don't have to choose between one and the other.
I'd argue that the CEO really should be a subject matter expert for the business domain. They can be ignorant on how it's all put together, that's the CTOs job, but they really should understand the domain.

I think the thing that confuses people is that the true domain for some companies isn't what the end consumer sees. I worked for a car website for a while, and very few of the executives were really car people. But they were all incredible experts on how dealerships worked, and that was actually what our business was, not how cars work.

> Not knocking the project, which sounds cool, but the absolute last thing I want to self host is a password database exposed to the internet. Hard pass on that element.

I have the exact opposite feeling.
I would not selfhost email but I would selfhost a password manager and my files behind WireGuard, like many have said.

I have almost moved from cloud hosting to home server. This perfectly reasonable for non critical services that don’t require more than 90% availability. The simplicity of such a setup nowadays is a breeze of fresh air. Debian stable, WireGuard, syncthing, ssh, git, ... all are low maintenance and works fine with Linux and iOS clients.
Interesting, when I studied these a long time ago they talked about mining geothermal energy in these kinds of deep rocks but having to move the "heat mine" after it got cool due to the lack of heat transfer through the solid rock. I got the impression that heat flows into the hot rock are orders of magnitude lower than the heat flows out required to make power generation efficient and useful.

The radiator design is interesting but ultimately it's a heat sink and power output will be limited. Initially I bet the power output is great, and as the area cools they tap it out. Who knows how long it'd last, you'd think the higher the power capacity the faster it would cool down underneath.

So really you need to be able to build new mines cheap enough to justify doing such a hard mine knowing it'll only last for 22 years.

I grew up in Hong Kong and speak Cantonese as my first language, which is one of the most brutally strict languages in terms of tones. 9 tones, some very similar, words that have the same sound but different tones can have very different meanings, sometimes ones that make the situation embarrassing or make you sound like you're swearing (in a formal situation). Kids in school like to mock you endlessly if you even accidentally say a word in the wrong tone that means something different (especially if it sounds close to swearing words).

With all that pretext in mind -- having grown up there until I was 13, I had never met any native speaker in HK who couldn't pronounce words in correct tones. Not a single person.

This was part of what made me want to start my own company. I'm not doing my best work until I'm so immersed in a project that my brain's working on it round the clock in the background, and I didn't want to give my full energies to developing IP for an employer that returned no loyalty.
