Yes I agree, but I think you miss the point. The reality is folks buying bitcoin are also indirectly betting on the failure of our globalised central banking systems. This was the pitch in the early days and it remains a key value proposition. Think of it like this how much reach does a USD have? It’s limited by some factors but all things equal the reach of a USD is pretty good. I can use USD in most African and Asian countries. However the USD in China has limited reach. I’m using the word reach to loosely describe how usable the currency is in a foreign country. The sterling pound has a very limited reach if I were travelling I would convert it before. So one day in the future when the SHTF and no one wants to trade there will be a currency that is decentralised that has an unlimited reach. The reality is we need to get serious about the predicament of our financial systems or the folks with the BTC will be holding all the cards. I own no crypto and am just a interested observer wanting to share my perspective.
That'd probably do a lot of damage to their brand, as silly as it sounds, since people wouldn't want to be eating something used as a meat substitute in dog food (which has historically been not very safe/good for humans).

This kind of thing might never hit mass-market (read Facebook-level) appeal, but I think if one branded it as an open-web network for creators (as opposed to Facebook, which is for mere “consumers”) you might reasonably avoid the hosting problem.

A “creator” will figure out how to host, be it a Wordpress.com site on the casual end, or something more specialized for the savvier creator.

Think about it. Cows release carbon based green house gasses. Where does that carbon originally come from? Plants absorbing carbon based green house gasses. I'm not saying that they cancel out, but there must be some consumption of carbon from the atmosphere in order for cows to produce carbon.

If you're an environmentalist trying to convince people to support your cause, you aren't going to talk about the carbon that raising cows removes from the air. You're only going to mention the carbon that gets put back in the atmosphere. That way, the problem seems like a bigger deal. This is not a slight on environmentalists -- its just politics.
This is a really strange argument.

The repeal of Section 230 would mean more aggressive and large scale moderation, not less. Remember that the copyright liability incurred by DMCA and other copyright laws didn't kill YouTube, instead it directly led to the creation of ContentID.
Yes. Buried deep in the paper "The matches allow only the thrower and skip player without sweepers". So the video showing sweeping was misinformation.

Also, the "top" teams it was playing against were two women's teams and a handicap team, so they won't have been the actual top - probably just chosen so they can use the term "top-ranked".

If they'd called it a "wheelchair curling robot", it would have been accurate.

A positive point though is that South korea has nearly the top ranked women and wheelchair curling teams in the world. So they didn't just choose some shitty country's national players to call them "world-class".
So it's not about cancelling, it's about who you want to work with. Fair enough.

The problem with electron is not the implementation - after all it is a bundled web browser and those are really really performant and written in C++. They pretty much make displaying a HTML document with complex CSS and running JavaScript as fast as possible (or at least close to it)

The problem is the abstraction level, instead of a locally running program manipulating objects that are turned into render instructions basically in a one-to-one fashion, there is a whole added indirection with generating and parsing HTML and then converting the dynamically created DOM into renderable elements.

<strike>Ellis act</strike> Owner movein is for moving yourself or a relative into the unit so you can live in it. Condo conversion is separate from Ellis act and Owner* Move in, it has to do with splitting off units to sell them independently, for example turning a TIC into a condo.

Units that have been Ellised* or Owner Occupied* find it much more difficult to do a condo conversion, as there are laws about how long you need to wait and where you go in the lottery that determines if you get to condo or not. That lottery is itself a complex affair that involves giving more tickets to houses that failed in the past, and for all I know now, giving extra tickets based on victimhood points or something. Although right now I am hazy about the laws. SF housing laws are a labyrinth of absurdity, micromanagement, and graft. They are not even funny.

That's one key advantage of dynamic types, but it's not the only one.

Again, this is why regulation exists, in many markets. It’s nothing new and as far as I know how the majority of states operate. As a society we don’t want the vulnerable to be looted in times of need. Equating that to communism, is well, plain stupid, so I’ll refrain from commenting further.
I think the key thing with rent control is to have reasonable limits. If you limit rent increases to something between 5% and 10% annually, it provides stability without causing a significant distortion except when prices are rapidly climbing for several years in a row.

This is the same issue with Prop 13. The idea isn't bad; it's useful for people to have bounded future expenses. The problem is the bound is too low, and it distorts the market.

You decide to cite an advertisement for savings accounts that defines "savings" as having a savings account? Americans don't have savings accounts because they serve no purpose, it doesn't imply they can't pay an emergency expense. Furthermore, the survey asked how they would pay, not if they could pay.

That's like saying most Americans don't have a means of transportation because you've defined "means of transportation" as "owns a horse".

If you actually look at US Federal Reserve data, instead of advertisements, the percentage of Americans without the means to pay an unexpected expense is around 13%.
> This statement is meaningless without knowing how many black employees were eligible or applied.

I would like to know the denominator as well. It’s hard to really mean anything without the number of L8s in total, how many L8s were hired, etc

It’s actually odd that the press release doesn’t include this info. I expect that it’s hard to get and they have to sue to get it, or the numbers aren’t in their favor so weren’t reported.

Race is really hard to “eyeball” since it’s not necessarily clear. For example, I was working on a team studying this and we surveyed a group of a few hundred people and asked what a fair distribution by race should be. It was interesting that many people overestimated how much their race should be represented, overestimated how much of the population their race makes up, and underestimated their race within coworkers.

It kind of makes sense as not many people know even basic demographic data. It made communicating with data hard because when sharing that 25% of positions were held by African Americans and 20% of leadership, the most common feedback was that these percentages needed to go up to match population distribution. Which is odd because AA is like 12-15% of population.

So even with these numerator and denominator numbers it’s hard to understand what’s ok. Hopefully the lawsuit will result in an investigation and if there is discrimination, to have it corrected.
I am really baffled. Ok, opening or not opening businesses is a big topic with a lot of economic ramifications.

But Masks? Why can't people extend this simple courtesy to the rest of the population? People follow traffic rules so as not to kill others or themselves. Wearing a mask is at best an inconvenience. I don't understand this at all.
Sorry, but I don't understand your original comment. The person above you suggested a donation, because obviously this thread has HN readers thinking about how to prevent suicides (if you don't understand why, you may research Aaron Swartz). A donation is a common way for people who care about an issue, to indirectly have some effect on it -- by empowering others who directly devote time to it.

Certainly, one may choose to research the institutions they donate to, if they don't trust them by name. That is not unique to suicide prevention, therefore it's an unnecessary qualifier in the current discussion.

Likewise, perhaps it's expensive. But even a single ad that reaches someone in need, leading to that person seeking professional help, is something.

If you think that deflationary monetary policy is a good thing, you are welcome to vote for politicians who promise to implement it and convince everybody else to do likewise.

The reason monetary policy is inflationary is not because there's a shadowy cabal of evil people who want to make your money worthless. Inflationary monetary policy is necessary to incentivize commerce and investment.

If money increases value at rest, then everybody will just hoard it, which is exactly what happened during every deflationary period of American monetary history: the economy ground to a screeching halt because everybody with money to spare stopped spending.

I feel like the bitcoin speculation bubble has led enthusiasts to forget what currency is supposed to be for. No, the purpose of money is not to be a number on an account sheet that goes up and makes you happy.

Well...for those who are not actually displaced, yes. But the ones that are displaced are often essentially banished by a dysfunctional housing market.

Rent control is not targeted towards the poor and elderly, and there are many others who benefit in the short-term (but then, again, are unable to move because the market rate has skyrocketed, though of course not just because of rent control).

But if you're intrigued by the idea of hacking on ESP32s, WiFi, BLE and/or e-ink, as a wearable hackable dev device, Watchy can't be beat. It's a lot of fun. Think of it as a wifi/BLE-enabled Arduino on your wrist.
I don't think this is scientific denialism since the people involved have a pretty big stake inn the policy. After all they will get to stay in the city. The problem with rent control is that it is very populist and selfish.

However, I have seen some comments and articles that talk about how building more housing in the bay area will drive up demand, somehow ignoring that there is an overabundance of commercial real estate that is driving the demand in the first place. It also ignores housing pressure, namely the concept that people increasingly live with room mates or adult children keep living with their parents. These people are already in the city and are looking for an opportunity to move out. How is giving them a place to live a net loss? If anything parents might move to a smaller residence and thus free up supply for larger families that truly need a single house.

I don't know why people believe that the laws of supply and demand don't apply to the housing market. Maybe they are misapplying the idea of induced demand which is really poorly named or at least the name is not directly putting the spotlight on what is actually happening. It's basically the phenomenon that as you increase roads people will switch to their preferred mode of transport even if it is grossly inefficient. Cars carry fewer people than buses or subways so it basically has a neutral impact on traffic. The problem with applying this to the housing market is that developers actually control their plot of land. A street will just let any vehicle drive on it. A developer will instead focus on building the most efficient housing possible because he wants to optimize his bottom line. So no, he wouldn't buy a plot with a house for 2 million only to rent it out, he would try to upzone the plot and build a duplex or triplex since this will result in greater profits. The street on the other hand is fully subsidized for the people driving on it, so they end up using it wastefully.

> Indeed, the vast majority of increase in housing prices is because rents are so high that 7% YoY returns are possible. Without these returns, then there is no way to justify inflation in housing prices for simple homeowners.

The market is constrained by supply, which is constrained by regulation. If you want to see how this works without any rental market, look at Oslo. The prices are truly something else.

Hi Nelson

I’m not an agriculturalist so I’d have to ask a colleague about the most dangerous pesticides in use in Australia. The most common herbicides used in the regions we work in are glyphosate (i.e. ‘Round-Up’) and 2,4-D. These are also the most likely culprits of damaged crops from spray drift events.

Spray applicators can be fined now (and in the past) if they are found to have breached spraying rules. Spraying rules involves suitable weather conditions, as well as things like droplet size, boom height, nozzle size etc. Spray applicators need to keep a log/record of all their spraying activities and the current weather etc. They can likely be sued by the affected farmer, but I’m not sure about how often they end up having to pay damages.

Long-distance spray drift (common during an inversion) can be impossible to identify the source(s)/culprit(s). Until now, farmers may have unwittingly sprayed during an inversion or some rogue farmers may have taken advantage of the fact that no-one could prove that it was inversion. Because of our mesonet and real-time data, this is no longer the case. Spray applicators legally MUST adhere to the label directions (do NOT spray during an inversion). And the public nature of our website and data mean that anyone out spraying when the mesonet indicates hazardous conditions will face community backlash – this is also a strong driver for behaviour change / practice change.
This is my first time hearing of Sandstorm!

Their page https://sandstorm.io/how-it-works writes:

> For example, when using Etherpad – a document editor app – on Sandstorm, every document lives in a separate container, isolated from the others. The front-end and database for that document live in the container. The container has a private filesystem for storage. JavaScript running in the user’s browser can talk only to the document container for which it was loaded, no others. All of this makes up a single “grain”.

Right now Athens works directly with the filesystem (and therefore filesync services), not a REST-ful/HTTP server. I'm not sure how Sandstorm apps "talk to the document container." If they allow read/write access to the filesystem from the web app, it could work, but I'm not sure how Sandstorm works.
