You can make a homestead exemption. You can also make property taxes lien-able on sale or transfer of the home, which makes some sense in areas where property values are rising quickly. If you are fixed or low income and care more about having a place to live than making money on the property, that works too.

I’ve heard many stories about people’s orders taking longer than 2 days to arrive[a] (sometimes even 5+ weeks). When asked, they say they ordered on Amazon and are upset at Amazon for it being late. After you explain that Amazon is also a marketplace, they understand why it’s late (it’s the seller’s fault), but they’re still upset at Amazon for not making it clear enough that it wasn’t going through Prime.

It's also a tool to pacify people with empty promises of a better future. The way that it's being used as a distant future utopia is like the way promises of Heaven are used in Abrahamic religions to convince people to suffer in the here and now.

A lot of people would choose to suffer some now in order to go to some peaceful space colony where they don't have to live with any of the consequences for our biosphere. They'll just get to go live in a different one. The reality is that if we continue to ignore the very real problems on our planet we won't ever see the day that we're living on other planets.

It doesn't matter that there are real, quantifiable benefits to space exploration. Most people who believe it's important don't know anything about those benefits, and they don't think it's important because of that. It's all about the promise of a "heaven" in the sky in which they won't have to struggle anymore.

After spending 25+ years at Intel, all of my peers were from that company, and they fall into to groups: either retired because they were there when the options were plentiful, or they are stuck there because they are over-leveraged with houses, cars and kids and their skills are pigeonholed to something only 3-4 other companies are interested in.

> But a lot of NoSQL adoption was a knee-jerk reaction, along the lines of, “relational databases don’t scale, so I need a NoSQL database.”

I don't agree with this. If you view relational-ness as a spectrum its not so simple. I think part of this knee-jerk reaction was because we over advised things like "denomralize everything" which lead to these monstrous schema diagrams that effected everything in the application pipeline: query performance, permissions, caching, transaction isolation, realtime capabilities, understandability, schema management nightmares, and more.

In fact the world proved through NoSQL that a lot of what hyper-relational models we're providing us weren't required to run a business. And you could succeed and do things quickly when taking an extreme stance against relations.

I think the average app should probably revert to something in the middle. I've been building applications recently with only acyclical hierarchical relationships. Forcing that constraint up-front does tie your hands a bit but it makes EVERYTHING a ton easier once you design your models around it.

Hi all, thanks for the reading the post. We're very excited to finally launch TimescaleDB 2.0.

In fact, users have already been running multi-node TimescaleDB in continuous daily use for many months, including a 22-node cluster by a Fortune 100 tech company ingesting more than a billion rows per day. So this product is already quite robust :-D
I'm not sure where you get the idea it's only for "those who can't code". In my domain, mining, there are many, many excel sheets for all sorts of things that would never merit a single line of code being written. We're far from the only. Sure, at a certain scale and below that for certain types of projects, switching to code and databases make sense. Other than that, it's just plain smart to use the labour saving tool that is Excel.
Is it a problem when your friend “misrepresents” that the order is for them? Or is it just a scale thing?

Yes, I recognize I exaggerated regarding LOC. I should have not said that. I do understand that the core protocol assumes one of each thing. Sometimes I dream about declaring X12 being the same thing as X11 but with the core protocol being converted to just an additional extension marked for deprecation :). Then we also deprecate everything related to drawing and find a way to make compositing great again.

I did not mean to insult you at all. But let's be honest: if you wanted to spend your time doing something that your employer does not want, you'd either have to do it outside your normal working hours or you'd start getting bad performance reviews due to not being aligned with the business priorities. Red Hat's business alignment has much much much more influence over the Linux ecosystem as whole than people on Hacker News realize or are willing to believe.

I understand it, and that's why I say things won't change unless someone else with lot of money decides to play Linux Graphics. We can't blame RH for choosing a path and following (to quote a certain someone, "Linux is not about choice", right?). But we do have the unfortunate consequence that RH's decisions are contributing to significant fragmentation. You don't want to have to reimplement the stuff for X+Wayland, but everybody else who does not want to use the Gnome compositor will have to reimplement the stuff you put on Gnome. There's probably a lot the community (not only RH) could try to push to alleviate the fragmentation problems.

Yeah, when the 'full stack' name appeared, I thought it applied to me, cause I fiddle with kernels and write bad CSS and terrible JS and everything in between (most of which isn't as bad as my JS), but the term has been refined to frontend that might dabble in just enough server side to get their job done. (Which is a fine job, but not mine).

If you're a pretty broad generalist, most likely the way to get new jobs is networking. Someone you've worked with is hiring and would be happy to work with you, and you have to find them (or they you).

Knowledge or intelligence can't ever hurt. The only things that can hurt a situation are when people have a lack of perspective, or a lack of self-awareness, or Dunning-Kruger type situations where they overestimate themselves, underestimate others, and are short on natural skepticism about their own cognitive processes.

But this stuff happens with anyone, and maturity and professionalism overcomes it. But perhaps its more obvious or toxic with super knowledgeable and specialized people.
A counter point is that an individual is free to hire someone to go and pick up food from a restaurant on their behalf and it does not make any difference to the restaurant.

I disagree a bit here. Spam folders has turned big tech into gatekeepers.

If 0.5% can get you into spam folders, this is an easy attack vector to silence someone.

The report linked mentions the ACLJ being involved in several ECHR cases, and submitting an amicus brief in favor of the recent Constitutional Court decision. That's it. You think that's enough to push the government and judiciary of a nation of 40 million into confrontation with a large social movement, with mass ongoing protests. And it's me who's naive?

Again, it takes a serious amount of arrogance to read two paragraphs of text in a report and believe yourself to be better informed than someone who spent all of their life immersed in the historical and social context of what's going on. So, with all due respect, I have the same advice for you as for the original post I replied to: Get over yourself. Not everything in the world is about Trump.
> it was anything from socially unacceptable (England) to effectively illegal (Roman Republic/Empire) for aristocratic landowners to invest in non-land things

can you expand on this? It's harder to think about
"investment" opportunities back then because the economy was basically agriculture, the slave trade, urban real estate, and trading the fruits of agriculture and slavery. I think landowners in the Roman Empire did in fact partake in other business, say starting gladiator companies.
Business owners pressuring their employees to take political stances should be illegal.

Employees should not be put into a situation where they feel their livelihoods depend on agreeing with management's sociopolitical values.

Hi all,

I'm the guy in the walkthrough video.

ZapBox started as a Google Cardboard-inspired approach for video see-through MR, but we've now completely redesigned the physical product for the ZapBox use case.

The linked video shows a walkthrough of the older cardboard version, just because the tracking code for the new designs isn't production-ready yet.

Thought I'd share this with HN rather than the general Kickstarter campaign for the new design, as it goes into a bit more technical detail and shows some interesting issues in bringing stereo MR to existing smartphone devices.

Happy to discuss anything technical ZapBox-related here, relating either to the old or the new version. And of course if you want to back the current Kickstarter campaign, that'd be much appreciated too :)

The answer is because a resource is at play that is finite: land.

If all the productive land in an urban area is effectively owned by foreign investors and left to sit, then renters bid up the remaining dwellings until they're priced out of the area. It also becomes more expensive to build in that area so the housing stock can't keep up with demand. It's terrible to let a vital commodity lay to waste.

Take opportunities one at a time and study what they are asking for. What does this particular hiring manager need? Highlight your strengths in only the areas they are focused on.

I had a very challenging time getting a job offer the last time I did the interview gauntlet run (had 17 years experience at the time), because I kept talking about how many different skills I could bring to the table. I should have focused on listening to what they want.

Once you are inside the company, you can employ your jack-of-all-trades skills.
I think you could generalize the idea of "individuals who extract income but who do not perform useful work" to "individuals whose extracted income exceeds the utility of the work they perform." Maybe to the converse as well, to an excess of "individuals whose extracted income subceeds the utility of the work they perform". It's basically talking about unjustified inequality.

I think to some extent this maps onto the idea of rent-seeking monopolies in current society and undercompensation of individuals. It's hard to go to something like this

https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/'

and not conclude that many people are being undercompensated grossly, and a small number of others are being overcompensated grossly.

For what it's worth, I agree with others that I don't think this maps onto "braininess" per se. I just think that's one of the character traits that happens to be valued the most in Western societies at the moment, so it's projected by the elites the most. In the past it might have been valor or nobility or courage or whatever it was -- the thing that is presented as justification for the excessive income, and protection of that income.

In general I think individuals are misvalued, not in the sense that persons don't matter, but the economic value placed on single individuals can be (and usually are) grossly overstated or understated. I think this transcends many many fields.
We have journalists. Then we have sponsored news outlets. We have websites sponsored by different groups. What about an average person? he is not equipped with money and technology to publish his opinion in a very meaningful and informative way. We can solve this problem. I am looking to have something like a WordPress for news, where we can use open source technology to curate news, do news analytics and publish. If you believe the majority of people are kind and trustworthy, and if they are able to express themselves to compete with sponsored outlets, we may be able to do it.
