Since a lot of these are purchased by institutional buyers, it would be completely possible to mandate EOL policy by writing some legislation.

I've also wondered if a large enough school district could design it's own Chromebook to make them repairable. Having the display, chassis, logic board, disk, IO shield, keyboard/trackpad and battery be easy to disassemble. The idea being that when a machine gets damaged it's used to scavenge spare parts and rebuild complete machines.

Logic boards would most probably be updated to a newer revision over-time, and machines would silently get upgraded as they break, so you wouldn't even have to keep Chrome OS working any longer than it does now.

But this would pretty much require a California-sized district to agree to use the same model and buy them together. I don't see it happening.

> You actually compare having electricity supplied to your home with over leveraging in the stock market? Literally the most bizarre comparison.

In the default state (regular electricity provider, no investments), you're relatively insulated from price fluctuations. You can make the choice to gain exposure to various markets by various ways, buying stocks, buying futures, buying/writing options, etc. By doing so, you can earn some profit, but you're also exposed to risk. What I'm arguing is that there's nothing fundamentally different between the two because in both cases you're making the decision to be exposed to a market in exchange for profits.
Yes, very much yes! Compiler pipeline is highly decomposable and can be taught in pretty much any order. Which one to teach first is really the matter of importance (like, I learned physics by starting with dynamics and as a result I have a good understanding of dynamics but not much for subsequent topics like thermodynamics, optics or electomagnetism...). I do agree the importance of parsing is currently overstated, but its solution has to be topic-agnostic as you can't build compilers only with parsing or codegen.
Lion was an all-around dog, pretty much the worst OS X release with the possible exception of Catalina. Amazing how it followed on the heels of something as great as SL.
If you decided not to pay for the power when you saw the price was high, wouldn't it turn off? How would you know when the price was low enough to turn back on?

I find framing things as "rights" is counterproductive. It creates all sorts of entitlement issues. I think it's better to say that society functions better - that is everyone, in total, is generally happier and healthier, if we all agree to work together to provide certain things for each other.

Forget about whether it's a right. Personally, I'd rather live in a society with free, happy people who aren't scared and desperate. I'd prefer it more than being extremely wealthy in a society where large numbers of people are barely able to scrape by. It's just overall a better experience to live in.
The fear for the incumbents is that they are simply replaced by Aws, Google and Azure
I see the major benefit of bitcoin being that no government can stop it or seize it from me if properly stored. USD was used for crime well before bitcoin. The benefit of reducing the power of government and empowering individuals is vastly worth whatever electricity it costs. After all, if people want to use electricity to stream pornography, I don’t care. They are paying for it - and so are bitcoin enthusiasts.
I agree 1000x. Noam Chomsky has a great quote about this from The Common Good:

"Now that ... workers are superfluous, what do you do with them? First of all, you have to make sure they don't notice that society is unfair and try to change that, and the best way to distract them is to get them to hate and fear one another."
And why are teachers teaching liberal ideas? Maybe because the rationality of non liberals and non progressives leads to a pissed off and subversive underclass. If we are being rational, why not fix the system to produce "more rational" teachers.

Programmers and financiers are not the best at shaping childrens minds, its not like those fields teach about childhood development.
Yeah, but the parent referred to a time where he (an engineer) specifically screened a candidate for an engineering position.

In this case, the HR rep's opinion should have been ignored right away.
I agree that utility bills without upper bounds is a thing that should be covered by consumer protection laws.

My point was more that the $9 per kilowatt hour wasn't even set by extreme market conditions; rather, it was an arbitrary number that someone made up (if Griddy's take is accurate).

Individual people wouldn't participate in a power auction; that's supposedly what Griddy does on their customer's behalf and just sends them a bill for whatever the costs were.
The US Congress sells out all citizens, via lobbyists. Populist rage comes a rigged economy, where they are losing money.

Rigged pharma. Unethical medical billing. Out of control healthcare costs. 2008 mortgage crisis. High Frequency trading firms front running trades. Panama Papers. Libor. And a million more.

Citizens won't have it any more. Fixing congress (so they don't sell us out), and congress CAN would WOULD fix this.

> didn't actually install a heat pump the way which will make it more than 100% efficient

Or, more likely, they installed a heat pump of a suitable capacity for 80+% of the expected conditions, with a pragmatic "old school" pre-heater to make up when conditions are out near the end of the bell curve.

> why shouldn't you run crypto mining?

I think the key takeaway here is that any time you're using resistive electrical heating for air, crypto mining is a suitable alternative to just making resistive nichrome wire glow red. Whether the cost of 1000W worth of GPU cards compared to the cost of a cheap 1000W fan/column heater makes sense for you is a different question. Whether the payout in whatever crypto you're mining ever comes close to breakeven on the cost of the mining rig and it's depreciation as it becomes more and more out of date is another question. If, like the article's author, you can build an effectively zero cost mining rig from parts on hand, then it's almost certainly worthwhile (modulo what you value your time building/configuring/maintaining it...)

(And there's the deeper ethical question of whether participating in a Proof Of Work cryptocurrency at all is just outrageously leveraging your personal heating requirements into a planet burning speculative ponzi scheme "asset" trashfire...)
Sure the landlord is doing something I can’t, as a tenant, can’t do myself - if all I have is an income of a few thousand a month and I need housing, the landlord is providing me housing I couldn’t otherwise afford.
The thing I most appreciated about skeuomorphism was that it had a high skill ceiling. A mediocre graphic artist's designs could be ugly, and often were, but a good graphic artist's designs could be positively delightful. The Mac OS X green glowing battery and metallic hard disk come to mind. Aqua had a good run before it overstayed its welcome. I'll gladly put up with a few bad designs if it means that I actually have something to look forward to now and again. I live for the pleasant surprise. Minimalism was a godsend for bad artists, but the flip side of that coin is that none of it is ever particularly good, either. It's one big sea of shrug, and to my taste that's worse than diamonds-and-dirt. But to each their own.

I'll grant you that skeuomorphism as a constraint on functionality was a consistently bad idea, but I'd argue that minimalism as a constraint on functionality is consistently even worse. Apps either Just Work or Just Don't. I've been on the "lol screw you, user" side of this many times, but I used to write it off as just the new incarnation of poor error reporting until the day I was working on a wireless product and my assigned UX guy hid my "Connection Failed" message behind an indefinite spinner. Not one that only popped up when the connection failed, mind you. The only way to tell if configuration was happening or if it was stalled from a failed connection was to know how long it was supposed to take and kill it if it took too long. What if you didn't have this knowledge, but would otherwise be capable of diagnosing a connection issue if you had a hint that the connection was the problem ? Too bad, so sad. Just Doesn't Work. Ugh.
The ReMarkable is pretty open, you can ssh on it without mod! Their CTO is a former KDE developer or something in the like I believe.

Overall, ReMarkable 1 and 2 are pretty awesome. It's a cool tool to take ton of notes without having to worry about loosing anything. Just wish their search feature was OCR. This is truly missing.
I would argue that there is a lot less useful work available to run per unit available CPU time than there is time.

Otherwise, there would be market for people to sell their spare CPU cycles.

The only entities selling CPU cycles are big cloud providers who have much higher utilization in general.
And how does this change anything?

Should we just force all poor people to pay the higher fixed rates that they supposedly can’t afford so that this never happens?

It’s completely irrelevant to the issue at hand.
Totally agree! I really hope Apple does another modern Snow Leopard type of update with no new features -- just optimizations. Although, going from Big Sur on an Intel Mac to an M1 Mac _felt_ similar -- everything is just snappy.

> Isn't the goal of any sort of political activism to get more people to vote the way you do?

yes, but not THINK. The last thing activism wants is for people to think and consider the alternative.
Sure, I'll take that bet, as long as we can bring it back to your original premise, which is that S20 sucks and that smart founders are better off skipping YC. For that point to be validated, we need to establish that a comparable cohort of non-YC companies will fare less well. So here's my proposal:

We take all companies indexed on AngelList and isolate for those started in 2021. Then we separate them into YC and non-YC cohorts. In January of 2026, we will see which cohort has a higher rate of shut downs.

Deal?
I edited my comment to clarify that the white supremacist society is the status quo in the United States. It also exists in some other countries. Certain countries have other supremacy issues; I've heard that in China, Han supremacy is a huge problem, but I can't speak to that as I haven't been there.

If you live in the US, and you don't see white supremacy, I encourage you to pay attention to what non-white people have to say about their experiences.
What kind of housing someone can afford is a political question. Our current answer to it is that this should be resolved through market mechanisms, which creates high prices alongside scarcity
Nix is one part of the solution to this problem. About a year ago I lost my data to a corrupt file system. I tried to recover it for some time, eventually gave up, and was back to a working machine, with all the software installed and configured as it had been previously, within two hours of a disk wipe. Most of that time was waiting while nix downloaded and installed packages from the internet.
> This completely ignores the fact that the stock was shorted over 100% of float, and people knew it was going to squeeze so they bought in hoping to ride the wave. And that did in fact happen, although timing is everything.

Except the squeeze failed at $400, and short interest was still above 100% as GME dropped below $50 by my understanding.

As such, the short-interest story seems to be a weak argument for anything. Clearly, short interest > 100% is meaningless: the stock can go up, or down, no matter what its short interest is.
> "Obviously the democrats are the ones who will define what's a lie

How can you live through 4 years of President trump calling "fake news" and "lying media" about something at least every week, and then straight faced say "obviously the democrats are the ones who decide what's a lie"?

> "Any Americans here think it's appropriate to allow the democrat party to define what's a lie and then have it censored?"

Remember last year when Twitter fact-checked a tweet by President Trump and "In response, Trump threatened in a set of tweets Wednesday to “strongly regulate or close” down social-media platforms. He followed up by signing an executive order late Thursday that seeks to limit some of the broad liability protection social media companies have under federal law."?[1]

Yeah, any americans think it would be bad if the Democrats did this? Hopefully.

Any Republicans think it was actually bad when Republicans actually did this? People in this thread are saying that two members of Congress sending a letter is "chilling intimidation", compared to the President signing an executive order removing legal protections from social media companies?

Being enrolled with a regular electricity provider essentially provides you with an financial instrument in the form of electricity futures. That is, a contract that allows you to buy electricity at a fixed rate, regardless of what the market rate is. Signing up with griddy is essentially the same as selling electricity futures, which exposes you to price fluctuations. In that manner there's nothing different between signing up for griddy, electricty prices rising, and getting wiped out; and selling oil futures, oil prices rising, and getting wiped out.

yes, defense is definitely on our radar and we are looking for partners to assist us in getting into these places.
I'd add the rules around being an accredited investor. The US government cuts off early stage investment opportunities to non-high net worth individuals "for their own good". The same US government that happily allows for state run lotteries.
I don’t know what the odds are, but this generic-food thing has come up before on HN. I made a comment and, if I recall, was downvoted... but, I’m going to say it again. ;

Namely, when I was a kid, my sister and I were terrified to go into that aisle because our mother told us that food was for albinos... that’s why the labels lacked color. It truly scared the crap out of me. Haha! Anyway, I will now sit back and wait for HN’s albino members to downvote me for offending people of [non]color.
On the Sampo generation wiki, 53.5% state that there's no money to save. Although I'm not an expert on these matters, what happened to packing your bags and moving out of Seoul or Gyeonggi-do to save some money? I think the motivation may not be there for some or social pressures keep people where they are in life. In Korea, you can easily raise kids if you're outside of Seoul/Gyeonggi. The teacher to student ratio is very close to 1.
What countries have successfully resisted the movement of money to the rich over the last 20 years?
I agree with your point, though I think your example is a bit flawed: I think it's reasonable to disagree on what should be in a budget; there's no one "correct" budget where all other budgets are wrong.

On the other side, facts are facts. Assuming you actually have all the facts (which often we don't), there is only a single truth.
But I see the GFW getting more advanced :)

And I think that it may be more justifiable if the censorship is also towards fake information and hate speech, but sadly this isn't quite true (check weibo or something). This is purely something political.
That's a valid argument, but they showed a ton of revenue lately and shouldn't be valued at 2/share.

I think the stock is between a 10/share and 30/share stock but I'm not a professional. Honestly the professionals aren't professionals and that's backed by some studies but I won't get into that right now.

The idea that you can cover this story without mentioning the short squeeze is lazy or dishonest. While it's an artificial boost to a stocks price it's a completely valid boost to that price too.

I use the PS5 as an example. How expensive is it? 500? Wrong. It's 500 if you put in time and energy, but if you value your time and energy over that of the retail price you can get one on ebay for 1000. Is it worth 1000? Only if you are impatient.

What's GME price? 2/share 15/share doesn't matter. If I have 1000 of something and I know that 1400 people MUST buy it by the end of the month, I can be sure that I'll make some money there. Was 400/share reasonable? I don't think so, that was mania and the fact that this short squeeze got mainstream and people had FOMO.
Yes.

If he wants to not be in that "lazy, cigar-smoking, top hat twirling capital class" (as you put it - because apparently hyperbole and gross misrepresentation of an argument counts as "discussion" on Hacker News nowadays), he is welcome to transition his ownership of that duplex into, say, a housing cooperative consisting of himself and the other half of that duplex (or - more likely - a cooperative for the land and the duplex's exterior, and retain ownership of his own unit while putting the other unit up for sale - effectively forming a COA, but cooperatively owned).

Go ahead, bring in the Arab slave trade, im pretty disgusted by that aswell, but the topic is the british.

And how kind of the British, like any major power with an advancing economy, seem to start focusing on human right just about the time slavery is offering more of an advantage to their adversaries. (But I'm not going to complain about that progress).

This section from my previous comment is relevant.

> Do you really want the entirety of your life to be a criminal trial where a panel of judges (or citizens) determine what you ought to think and feel?

I would argue against your point that "lying to the feds" is illegal. I think some cursory research into the subject would temper your opinion (at least to the point where you wouldn't consider it a "gotcha"). But I won't argue it here because it detracts from my larger point: the criminalization of all thought not arbitrated by government censors is a terrible idea and is fundamentally incompatible with the Bill of Rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and common sense.
Very strong mass transit systems, so there are fewer cars on the road.

The cars that are on the road tend to be quite new, which is a result of a stringent mandatory inspection after a car gets older that makes it more economical to export the car and buy a new one. So cars are typically in excellent repair, with a small economical engine. The driving culture is generally conservative. People don't race each other, compete for the loudest exhaust, roll coal, etc.
> What they’re doing here is using some critical timing to reset the video chip every scan line so that it only displays the top line of every character.

Excellent! I've always thought you could do "racing the beam"/Atari 2600 type graphics on early micros - is this working on actual hardware or just in emulation?
Nearly no one, I would venture to guess.
That would be extremely interesting, and yeah I'd put $100 into that bet.
> Let’s state the uncomfortable truth. The future for many Americans is bleak and their lives are going to be nasty, brutish and short. Everyday I see a world where many in my generation have simply given up all hope for opportunity of a family, a house, a stable career and forced to confront an uncertain future in a world that is slowly boiling itself to death.

But why? Why can't more kids get into STEM fields? Why aren't there more decent jobs, say manufacturing jobs? Why are American kids so bad at basic reading, critical thinking, and basic arithmetics? Why is there an apparent bifurcation in the K5 system, where a large number of perfectly capable kids get misled and tortured by craps like Common Core, while a small number of kids are ready for algebra or more advanced maths? Why do we have kids who get straight A in high school yet can't pass placement test in a community college? Why do we have so many kids who ace through high school think entry-level courses like introductory calculus or organic chemistry are too hard? The questions can go on.

And I certainly don't hope that the answers are what Seattle and California public schools have started to teach: https://equitablemath.org/
That's super cool, I've known about OSU for years and had no idea the whole thing was Open Source. I highly recommend anyone who has inclination towards rhythm games who hasn't heard of it to try it out. Very unique rhythm experience, multiple modes, lots of well made free community maps. My only big advice when looking through community maps is to favor ones made in the last 5 years or so, some of the very old maps are a little, stiff, for lack of a better word.

Value is subjective.

For me, Bitcoin has value because it can't be inflated, and I can carry it on my head over any country's frontier without governments harassing me because of it.

Sure, Bitcoin is a means to an end, I can only "use" it by exchanging it for something else, but so is any other currency.
