What you say of agriculture is true, but exposes the strength of landowners as a lobby group, not some innate quality of protectionism. When tariffs, barriers, and subsidies are removed from agriculture, prices fall, and the people eat.

This isn't some abstract argument. If you want to talk about India, notwithstanding that India is so vast and complex a nation that only the unwary say "India this" or "India that" broadly, the country had a decades-long history of protectionism since independence, trying to get by with very low levels of international trade, and this being a crucial factor in the 1991 economic crisis: the government had no foreign currency reserves at time when the balance of trade was catastrophic due to rising global oil prices and the demand for modern goods from abroad.

Liberalization of trade is not without its problems - in particular, increasing wealth inequities, and cultural imperialism by economic means. Nevertheless, the subsequent lowering of barriers corrected the crises and has defined India's catapult to the top levels of international manufacturing and service provision.
Ask HN: What are some open source API SaaS projects?
I'm looking to learn more about how API SaaS projects are built.

Specifically, I'd love to know more about handling rate limiting, usage tracking, API monitoring etc. and how these are implemented.

Any ideas?
I took these to mean the existential operator and the implication operator, but I agree they were insufficiently defined for me, esp. as we're building from first principles. The post could have made the early proofs more obvious in how they were constructed (e.g. how the language is really used to prove statements).
Apple ARM can run x86 under Rosetta 2. The question is whether that can happen under Docker.
That requires that ARM images are available, which will take time and always have a disconnect. It also violates the idea of being able to run the exact same image on your laptop (ARM Mac) and in prod (x86 server).
And that's to say nothing of figuring out things like accounting, bookkeeping, GDPR / regulations...

And when you hire employee(s)... payroll, HR systems, G Suite (it's a monster, but you must master it), recruiting / hiring platforms,

And once you raise money... cap table management software, contracts galore, investor relations, boards meetings, etc.

(On a completely unrelated note: all of the above is the reason YC and others usually have a bias against funding solo founders. Simply put, there's a lot that goes in to running even a small startup, beyond just building product.)
I do not buy the conclusions in this video.

For a couple of reasons. First off, anecdote. I myself am severely lactose intolerant, which I inherited genetically. I have lived in Italy and know Italians pretty well, and in my experience lactose intolerance is so unusual in Italy that people are often amazed to hear of my condition. Lactase (Lactaid etc.) is quite rare in the country, so much so that I usually bring in large quantities when I fly there. Granted, my experience is largely in the north, but I have also lived for quite some time in Rome.

Italians eat a fair bit of high-lactose foods (cream; cappucino, young and soft cheeses, mmmm, squaquerone; certain pasta dishes; and of course gelato) and I have never seen a complaint, while I myself have to be careful around all of them.

But second, as far as I understand it, the claim that Italians are lactose intolerant is not supported by current evidence. Studies in the 1980s in support of the hypothesis were largely based on self-diagnosis, which anyone who knows Italians ("Colpo D'aria") realizes is fraught with problems. It is my understanding that later and much better studies have suggested that lactose intolerance in Italy is far lower than suggested 40 years ago.

Pretty much every restaurant has a website these days. I go there. If they offer direct delivery, I use it. If they don't, they usually link to the grubhub etc. service they use, and I order there. At least then I know the restaurant was a fully consenting partner in the revenue share agreement.
> And further: looking at US figures for 2017, November tends to have about an average number of daily deaths, but December is one of the deadliest months, with about 15% more deaths-per-day than is typical in the lowest-deaths Summer months of June-July-August.

> So even my extrapolation to 90,721 is likely to be a floor on the true end-of year number, if lagged reporting or a typical December death acceleration means these November 6 numbers aren't an accurate sample for the full year.

I don't think you can assume that. While November to February are usually the months with the most mortalities, it is not certain that pattern will hold this year. The winter months kills a lot of vulnerable people because it is cold outside so people remain indoors close to each other causing infectuous diseases to spread. But this year thousands of vulnerable people died in April and May and there may not be that many left for viruses to kill, so to speak.

Here is some interesting statistics showing that September 2020 was the least amount of deaths in Swedish history: https://cornucopia.cornubot.se/2020/10/september-2020-den-mi...

An obvious hypothesis is of course that everyone that "should have died" already died in April and May, at the height of the Covid-19 epidemic.

Regardless, I think the takeaway of the article is correct. There's a month and a half left of the year and even in a worst-case scenario Sweden is unlikely to register statistically significant excess mortality for the year 2020.
This is true. Oatly actually makes a “Barista Blend” that foams up perfectly for cappuccinos or lattes.
Sending death threats or racial invectives by private message is as much speech as sending them by Twitter post.

It seems to me that social media companies should only be allowed the legal protection of being "platforms" if they are truly neutral. No censorship, no algorithms.

Facebook should only be allowed to show you a feed of all your friends' posts, in chronological order. Twitter should only show you the tweets of people that you've followed, in chronological order.

Aside from solving any potential censorship or manipulation problems, it would also make a much more pleasant user experience than the unnavigable garbage that is Facebook's current product.

>When some areas got to the point that they no longer had hospital capacity

That's false. Areas in Australia had extremely strict lockdown requirements, including disallowing any movement (to the point that newborns actually died as a result of movement restrictions) meanwhile ICU utilization in those areas was hovering around 1% of capacity. ONE PERCENT. Outside of ICU, hospital utilization was way down.

This was referring to the pain I went through changing the code mentioned in this passage:

As soon as I realized that Noms could panic when calculating the hash of its types I knew I was way off. In the end I think I spent closer to 6 weeks on this. It was time-consuming, and boring, but it couldn't be automated and every one of the changes was an opportunity to introduce bugs.

You are right though, I didn't spend too much of the post talking about how much I hated that 6 weeks and how I regretted my life choices.

I suppose a manager is also an employee, but Manager inherits from Employee with a .fire() method seems wrong, no? I'd expect a method which takes another object or ID, not to change the state of the object with the fire() method.

Anyway, this is why I stay far, far away from OOP when I can - vast amounts of time spent on these questions which generate zero insight (at least the mathematical obsession with some parts of FP can be fun)
A signed and scanned PDF is also commonly used, same as an old-school fax-based contract where you sign and send it back. But, yes, the DKIM definitely does not matter for contract purposes.
I recently took someone else’s tool and migrated the panics to errors. How painful it is depends on the size and complexity of the codebase. Fortunately, this was a relatively small codebase written by—what looked to me—like someone who knew how to program but was unfamiliar with Go conventions.

So I spent a couple hours getting rid of panics, and afterwards I was able to use the tools.

> I feel the same way, anyone who does not believe in the 10x engineer has just never met one.

Food for thought: The interpretation of a 10x engineer is not consistent. Putting my manager hat on, I ask: Can I replace 10 of my average engineers with this one person? The answer is never "yes".

That's because a team does more than just technical stuff. There's documentation, dealing with customers, bureaucratic stuff, etc. If you don't do these well, much of your brilliant engineering gains will go to waste. A brilliant engineer may be harder to replace than the average, but he/she is not a 10x engineer. Perhaps a 2x.

You also don't need to know much about many algorithms to write workaday programs. Most of the work is done by others. /head nod to Timsort.

You need to know how to avoid common pitfalls (i.e., yeah, maybe nested for-loops with millions of elements per level of iteration, maybe some alarm bells should go off)

It may be a bit frustrating to read but it helped me to understand the true value of the work I was doing and what others are being compensated.

I remember my first job age 20 working for a startup that developed an early version of Twitter but designed for neighbors (this was around 2001).

I had to write drivers for a GSM module, write a server to process incoming/outgoing SMS messages, write an API into an SMS-C, build a website for users to interact and administer on. Do it all in java/linux as we had zero investment to buy anything. For all of this I was paid minimum wage (<$250/month) and had zero equity.

It was only through forums like this that I discovered how horrifically exploited I was. This was a long time ago and the founder had no business sense but was smart technically. Business shutdown after 2 years and I went onto bigger and better things. One thing I will say is that silicon valley pays better than anywhere else I've lived in the world (Asia, Africa, Europe).

No. That's what they said: you will build for your deployment architecture, just as you would today with the arm aws systems. The virtualization is that: virtualization. It isn't emulation for that you need Qemu or similar.

Can you point to any specific examples of systems that report DKIM signing status but fail to check the validity state of a DKIM signing key? That seems like an extraordinarily unlikely set of circumstances.
I think Apple didn’t want to support x86 emulation at all, and made Rosetta 2 purely AOT compilation (which you can’t really do with virtual machines). It makes it so they don’t have to deal with having x86 VMs available but super slow making people think that Apple Silicon is slow (even if that’s untrue), and that’s kind of the growing pain that Microsoft is going through at the moment with Windows on ARM.
From my experience, the modern Java-style OOP that I've worked with (some of which I produced myself) through all these years leads to terrible code, and all the data-oriented code I've seen and produced seems much, much better in comparison.

Other programming styles are often orthogonal. One can have mostly functional OOP and mostly functional data-oriented software, or imperative OOP vs imperative data-oriented software and so on.

I'm mostly focused on OOP vs data-orientation. OOP means a fixation on modeling everything as "a graph of encapsulated objects with associated bits of logic calling each other" while data-orientation means: "pure logic decoupled from data, and a data stored and passed in mostly non-abstract, concrete ways to support required computation".

The success of OOP is dubious: mostly judged by it's popularity, which is mostly driven by it being a default methodology tough to people in school. When you look at the actual industry, most of the fundamental, long-lasting software is actually written in some form of data-orientation. From kernels, system tools, things like redis, other databases, etc. Though one could tell that it's because fundamental software is usually system software, and not business-logic software and that's true.

I don't have evidence, and it's all just my experience, reasoning and intuition, and I'm intellectually open for debate here, but IMO fundamentally splitting data into small encapsulated chunk that form a graph of native references to each other is just a terrible way to organize any form of computation. I don't want to repeat myself, so please see my reddit post that I linked before for more details.

> On the spending side, we need to account for whether the goods we're consuming are rivalrous or non-rivalrous, as well as all the externalities from consumption, both positive and negative.

This part has really shaped the way I see the world since I read this article a few years ago. When we talk about stimulus programs, we need to think about where that money goes. If you're encouraging people to buy new cars, then this carries quite some negative externalities as it eats into Earth's budget for nonrenewable resources and emissions. If it goes into services (say, personal training), then that kind of spending is pure good.

> If no one consumed anything above basic subsistence, we'd have a lot less economic growth, fewer innovations, and inferior technology (including medical technology).

I take issue with the use of the term "economic growth" like it's a self-evident goal. The problem is when it's measured in GDP -- ie., spend more to make the chart look better. But in that case, we fall into the fallacy of ignoring externalities.
