We spent more money under Nixon and Ford than we do now.

You’re not familiar with how much money as a percentage of GDP we spent in the 1960s? It’s noteworthy.

We were building the Space Shuttle and exploring the planets.

I wish we could spend money on NASA like we did in the 1970’s
Ask HN: KVM Switches with Bluetooth?
I'm honestly not certain if this is a thing, but I figured folks here would know.

I'm looking for a KVM switch that supports connecting a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard to the switch and then properly shares that connection with the connected computer. My goal is to avoid pairing devices with two separate machines at the same time.

Ever see anything like this?
Can you elaborate your last sentence?
I agree with projektfu, there are lots of good ideas that don't sum up to a punchline, I wrote a very introverted reply that "unfortunately" became a pitch, but it's more concentrated: http://move.rupy.se/file/park_engine.html
Those are needed for the tasks C was made to handle: complete control over everything being a primary one. If you do not need those tasks you do not need C. And if you do then get used to it.
There are a number of things you can do that can help you with your privacy and security:

1) Have a different online identity for things that can compromise you/you feel uneasy about. We are talking about a "full identity": number, email, maybe even things like Linkedin

2) Perform Threat modelling

3) Getting own domain is always good, as it gives you the control of your life

I can't claim any authority on this topic, because I only witnessed the tail end of it as a clueless junior dev, but one thing I saw at a couple of companies was Linux creating a less risky path to commodity workstation hardware. People with Unix-based computing workflows saw that they could achieve something similar on Linux on commodity hardware, and the hardware was cheap so it was wasn't a huge risk to try it out. After they were successfully working with Linux and could see that the commodity hardware was sufficient for their workflow, then it wasn't so radical to cast their eye over to Windows and see what software was available there, maybe be tempted by more polished desktop software and easier IT solutions for businesses. And they could try it out by dual-booting their existing Linux workstations. I'm sure some people made the double jump straight from commercial Unix workstations to Windows, but for people who did not want to take any big risks, Linux broke up the leap into smaller steps.
Because there is no perpetuum mobile. By issuing treasuries a government loans economic power from markets in addition to what it gets from taxes. In a limit everyone will work for a government, so the system effectively degenerates to a centralized planned economy. Of course, in a capitalist society people will loose their trust in a government long before that.

In a well working system this additional power is used to accelerate economic growth, so interest rate is compensated by additional taxes, otherwise government has to allocate bigger ratio of collected taxes to service its debt or loan more and more. The first option is not popular with politicians for obvious reasons, while the second one can not continue indefinitely. More you try to loan from market, higher rate will be required (i.e. market will trust a government less), higher the rate, more difficult it will be to service the acquired debt (i.e. a government will have to be either really efficient with its spendings, or otherwise we return to the step 1).

Arguably market trust in the US government has already passed level of sustainability, so it has chosen to loan from the non-market source, which I believe in the end degrades trust put into the whole dollar-based economy. Granted, the level of trust is really high, so assuming the current QE is a one time thing, this should not be fatal, but if such harmful policy continues...
That's something that could be easily changed.
What a pathetic non-reply. Those are direct questions to vague statements you made in that comment.

Nah, just .clone() gleefully the 99% of the time that you're not in the hot path.

Most of the other cases, you can use typed_arena or bumpalo.

How I grew my following to 15,000
Parler is a Twitter alternative, it’s still really new so they don’t ban you for following a ton of people like Twitter.

Right now you can make an account and follow as many people as you want without any worries.

I have followed 36,000 people and that has gained my following to 15,000.

With the 15,000 followers when I post a “tweet” i get tons of retweets or what Parler calls them “echos”.

I normally just post memes because they get shared a ton and helps grow my followers even more and every once and a while I share my website. This keeps my followers happy.

Now you can by all means click follow all day and night and it will work but what I did was make a [auto follow bot](http://calemedia.com/parler-com-auto-follow-bot-gain-followers-automatically-get-free-traffic/) if you know how to bot websites it will make everything a million times easier and you can get back to using other methods of getting free traffic.

My Parler account has got my website 1000s views and 100s of new members. This is something you should be doing no matter if you have a blog or a product or just a different social profile you want to advertise the possibility are endless.
I've had foot problems for a while, and I went to a podiatrist who suggested I wear crocs. Said that shoes were a modern creation and that our feet weren't designed to need them.

It was an unmitigated disaster. So I went to a different podiatrist. She said "let me guess, you went to Dr. So-and-so?" and I replied yes, she said "Yeah, I don't agree with him. Shoes are modern, but so are floors."

My feet are much happier now. Properly designed insoles make pretty much any shoe comfortable for me (notably, the insoles aren't really padded, they're pretty hard). Walking around on hardwood floors barefoot makes my feet hurt.
When I looked up Fucia and saw that it was Apache licenced, I assumed it was probably because Google are tired of providing back to the community that gave it 99% of the code that it uses. Much easier to do an Apple and take other people's work and not share back when it's not GPL'ed.
SEO is a Google invention anyway, so it's not unethical to manipulate the rules at will (if you're able to) to gain an advantage. It's their rules anyway, so if a method works, it's acceptable by default.

That said, if the work requires actually hiding useful news or unconvenient events, that's more of a grey area. Dark-grey, actually.

"Mama's got bills", as they say, so keep doing it until you'll hopefully find a better job. I'm assuming refusing to do it, while keeping your position, is not an option.
Spend it on? How about COVID relief?

IIRC defense is about 20% of the US federal budget. About 40% of that (ie 8% of total federal spending) is paid to staff. In some ways it's the largest redistributive program.

You sort of answered your own question here, but I'd attribute a lot of it to Stripe's leadership being willing to go back and do things again, take the time to get it right, and putting a heavy emphasis on developer experience (knowing their customers).

That requires an incredible amount of patience and deliberate effort—most teams either can't (resource or time constraints), or won't (feigned resource or time constraints).
Now you can't, because someone will use your post to invalidate it as prior art!
You could use localstorage and a script for setting/getting the info via xmlhttp. Technically not a cookie and there is nothing automatically send.

I think cookies are great if they weren't abused as much.

(not saying the site is using any alternative approaches, I think their ambition is laudable)
Well... turns out, it's not that easy. I, too, removed the cookies from my website [1] and was thrilled to finally get rid of the cookie banner, but had to jump through some hoops:

- It's a WooCommerce store. WooCommerce stores one persistent cookie to keep track of your cart. I had to hack up a little snippet of PHP code to turn that into a session cookie. It's not quite documented behavior, but the hack feels robust enough that I can live with it. (Sessions cookies are allowed, as per GDPR.)

- YouTube embeds had to go, as even their youtube-nocookie domain sets cookies (thanks, YT). Vimeo has a "dnt" option that seems close to what I want, but it still sets some ID in localStorage, which the GDPR views as equivalent to cookies in this regard. So my current workaround is to just have the video thumbnail and link to the proper video on YT, but that sucks because now my visitors leave the website.

- Replaced Google Analytics with self-hosted Matomo, carefully configured to not set cookies (it's not trivial), which now regularly brings my cheap hosted server to the limit ;-)

So even a relatively simple website that does little fancy is not easy to get free of cookies.

It also depends a lot on where you live. Inflation in housing is far higher in “hot” markets.

IMHO it makes no rational economic sense to live in a place like SF or NYC unless you are doing it for a while for experience or can land a very high salary job. For SF I would say bail if you are not making $300k by age 30. The only exception is those with no interest in starting a family and don’t mind living in a very small place forever. If you need space and don’t make bank, you will never build equity or significant savings. Real estate will eat everything.

I believe you severely underestimate the complexity of actually administering a complex tax system.

Especially because the way a lot of deductions end up working in practice is that you withhold the money from people in the first place and cash it out in the end of the year when you calculate your actual tax burden.
> we should encourage immigration through our higher-education system (and we have been doing so for decades)

Having gone through the numbers just yesterday, I was very surprised. So, here's the correction for you. No, america does not encourage immigration through education and subsequent employment. Out of roughly 550k green cards per year, only around 15k are for educated immigrants coming through employment categories (eb1,2,3).

For comparison, there are around 50k diversity visas given in lotteries, and 8k investors visas given out to anyone willing to buy a green card.

I believe localStorage is equivalent to cookies as far as the European cookie banner directive is concerned.
I agree. Here is the critical damage to American workers from money printing:
* Hourly pay rates are locked in when people are hired. Workers completely lose their negotiating power after being hired. "Sticky prices" in economic terms applies to workers salaries also.

* In an ideal world, workers would job hop aggressively to move up their hourly pay rate. They don't for good reasons (for their company, for the economy, for other non-tangible reasons).

* Having the M0 and M1 never grow is the ONE critical factor that MUST be there for workers to get their fair share of GDP growth. The economy growing and having a fixed M0 and M1 means workers get more buying power. Their negotiated locked in hourly rate when starting at the company can give them more buying power. In capitalism today, this is the ONLY way workers get their share of GDP growth.

* When M0 and M1 grow, then workers (except the top 20% in demand) are robbed of getting their share part of GDP growth.

* Workers are on a hamster wheel. Central Banks think they need to speed up/slow down inflation (compared to a frozen M0 and M1) causes the hamster wheel to speed up for workers to work harder for less and less.

* 1801 to 1899. There was zero to -6% inflation across those ~99 years. Salaries doubled. This is how the working class gets their fair share of GDP growth. Today they are robbed by central banks.

* Workers are robbed when banks get to "recapitalize" banks paid for by robbing workers (the bottom 80% of workers have nearly zero ability to demand their salary go up)

I choose Brave for the privacy, Ad-blockers, degoogling, and pretty good maintenance upkeep. I think a sizable portion of your audience choose it for the same reason. Your crypto work is certainly interesting but I think should be entirely opt-in or an extension.

Set aside the techie charm, and what's going on here?

When Steve comes up to you and wants to sell you his SteveBucks, how much would you pay? Steve tells you that SteveBucks are absolutely un-counterfeitable, which is great, but what are they good for?

The store doesn't accept SteveBucks. Even Steve won't buy SteveBucks; Steve is trying to sell SteveBucks.

Finally, Steve tells you that SteveBucks are a great investment: eventually, everybody is going to want SteveBucks so you should get them now. And somehow that argument gets traction, and everybody is buying SteveBucks... and not spending them, because SteveBucks are great investments.

Hearing that story, wouldn't you feel weird about SteveBucks? Would you want to get involved with them? Wouldn't you rather just introduce your own BobBucks, which are every bit as good (and every bit as useless) as SteveBucks?

BTC's main advantage over SteveBucks is memeage for techies. They're the first BTC miners because they have hardware just sitting around, so they got the first bitcoins free and really want them to be worth something. And bonus, BTC are independent of the government, which is great, because you're a rich techie libertarian and all the government does is get in your way (or a poor techie libertarian who will one day be a rich techie libertarian).

The crypto wizardry of blockchain is incredibly clever, but ultimately not really all that big an advantage over a simple transactional database. It's less centralized, to be sure, but at the end of the day it's a massive effort for a problem that doesn't really need to be solved. Most BTC transactions end up going through some wallet provider anyway.

It's a fiat currency without even a fiat, just the collective hallucination lacking even the dirt a nation stands on and its network of taxes and government spending that give fiat currencies their real value. Steve doesn't understand anything about economics, and it's grating to listen to him loudly declaiming on a topic he knows less than nothing about.

So perhaps what "rubs us guys the wrong way" is being baffled that some people are getting rich trading SteveBucks back and forth to each other without actually producing anything.

> Money printing is always inflationary. Either it causes CPI inflation immediately or it's stored up for later. When money printing does not cause immediate CPI inflation, surplus money is stored in scarce assets which creates asset price inflation and increasing fragility which will inevitably lead to CPI inflation later.

You are assuming full employment in these scenarios... why?

Problem is that outsourcing and automation has collapsed the cost of most non-essential manufactured goods. These artificially depress the CPI and hide the crazy inflation that is occurring in essential areas like housing, health care, and education... basically in anything that can’t be outsourced or automated.

Massively aggregated statistics like the CPI border on bullshit. They have too many hidden variables and gloss over far too much detail.
