That gives too much credit to Google strategy. Remember, it is the same company that sometimes doesn't shut away from being projects.
It's really sad that in the age of unrestricted access to information public discourse is self-restricting to avoid wrong-think and dissenting opinions.
If you look at the history of intellectual progress, much of it was exactly due to unpopular opinions.

Now by having one you're risking your entire career and sometimes more. This is truly the dark age of the information era.

Yes, I agree with you. Specifically is the idea of considering the car a monthly cost instead of a capital investment is all in favour of financial and car companies. You will get a new model if your monthly cost does not change. In my experience, all of my cars were a great value if you own and hold onto them for 10 yrs or more (the first 10 years cars need almost 0 maintenance)
Unless your credit score is absolutely perfect, the APR on a used car loan is easily 8-10%

That's a pretty big chunk of change to spend to boost your credit record

Yes, and most consumers outside the tech space just want to access the content. 95% of my friends have no clue what a cookie is - they just press the green button and get on with their shopping. It's not an education issue either - they just don't particularly care.
The Culture series by Ian M Banks has an interesting take on this, if this kind of sci-fi interests you!
You're making my point for me. You say "How can you trust these people! They're hiring people who used to work for the CIA!", I say "If I want accurate reporting about the intelligence community, I probably want to have some qualified perspectives". It doesn't mean you have to accept their party line. but if your argument is that CNN shouldn't be hiring people who've worked in the intelligence community, you're arguing for CNN to do a bad job.

Your second citation is pretty funny, are you really telling me Americans don't trust their media because the UK FCO sponsored pro free media content in Russia?
The high number of upvotes and low number of comments here says something, I think...

* In 2020, the U.S. had over 23.2 GW of capacity in energy storage compared to 1,100 GW of total installed generation capacity.

* Globally, installed energy storage capacity totaled 173.6 GW.

* 1,355 energy storage projects were operational globally in 2020, with 11 projects under construction. 40% of operational projects are located in the U.S.

* California leads the U.S. in energy storage with 215 operational projects (4.2 GW), followed by Hawaii, New York, and Texas.

"Two of the planned 10 MW batteries are up and running already, with a total of 10 expected online by year's end, Vavrik said. That means that BRP and Key Capture are running neck and neck for operational capacity in Texas. The title of biggest battery operator in the state could change hands repeatedly based on the order in which those companies' projects wrap up.

The broader story is that multiple experienced energy investors are converging on Texas simultaneously. The interconnection queue contains more than two dozen batteries that are each larger than 100 megawatts; some go up to 300, 400, even 500 megawatts."
I really want to love types. But type errors so so get in the way of getting to something testable - it's all "satisfy the compiler" which either requires writing out close to my whole program or writing a lot of temporary lies.

I used to program with annotated type languages (Pascal, C++, Java) for a couple of decades. I spent a decade plus with dynamically checked languages, and whenever I try to go back (to Java or C++) or go to something harder (e.g. Haskell) the type checking is very much in the way of initial development. Maybe dependent types are sufficiently expressive that this problem isn't there. However, every time the promise has been made in the past, it's turned out (IMO) that the person advocating is used to working around the weaknesses of strongly typed languages and neither is used to exploiting the strengths of dynamically checked languages nor is used to working around the weaknesses of dynamically checked languages.

Unfortunately this is not so simple. I am using Qubes OS with disposable virtual machines and my fingerprint is always unique. Have a look at the corresponding discussion if you are interested: https://qubes-os.discourse.group/t/is-your-browser-fingerpri....
Totally agree with you there. I have a medical condition where it's a really bad idea for me to compromise on sleep or exercise, I'm also caffeine-sensitive, still have a shitton of chores to do, have hobbies that are central to keeping me in a positive mental health state, and I'm tired of people taking pride in staying up all night and drinking energy drinks for work because "passion".

edit: To be clear, I actually do have passion for my work, but that does not mean I want to be doing it for 60 or 80 hours a week. In fact overworking and turning the rest of my life upside down is a good way to lose that passion.
> As a percentage of their income, yes that's true!

And (potentially) straight up dollar value. "Rich" people can afford to purchase items in bulk at a discounted rate. "Rich" people can shop at Sam's club and buy a years supply of toilet paper at once than someone living paycheck to paycheck that buys 1-6 rolls at a time.

Other basic costs like laundry. For a poor person, they need to drive/bus/carry their laundry every week to a mat and pay $5/load. A rich person pays the upfront cost once and enjoys discounted in-home laundry for the life of the appliance.

If items cost less for rich people, then the tax on those items would be lower as well.

> make sure people can still afford the basics

One way to make the basics more affordable would be to not tax them. :)
Do half of the money really go to the co-founders, or they have something like a "four year vesting with one year cliff"?
Amazon and Amazon Prime have been very valuable recources to date. Perhaps, one of the reasons they have grown to such immense size. However, not to suggest I am enough alone able to influence them to speak up but better this tack than joining the undue or cancel crowd. Open mic is better.

Show HN: Fable – Spec as the Source of Truth
Hi HN!
We're Aravindh and Alex of Fable. We're excited to launch the Fable Google Docs Add On on Hacker News (https://tryfable.com/docs-add-on).

I've been a product manager at large companies and startups, and at every single place there was always confusion around what the source of truth was. Is it the Google Docs spec? Is it the Jira ticket? What about that one decision we made in the hallway?

We're building Fable to help solve for this. We're starting off with an add on for Google Docs that syncs with Jira. PMs can tap a button to turn user stories in Docs into Jira tickets. If changes are made to the Jira tickets, we'll pull that back into the spec as well.

In terms of what's next - we're building a web app that provides a richer experience to create specs (embedding user data, richer user stories, etc) and a quick way to capture & communicate all the decisions that are made while you're building the spec.

Would love to hear your feedback in the comments - looking forward to the discussion!

Yes. Miami needs to move a few meters straight up. This is quite possible. Galveston, TX [1] and Chicago [2] did that a century ago. Miami Beach is raising some main roads, finally. Here's Miami's flood zone map.[3]

Worldwide, cities on river deltas face problems. Mostly in Asia. New Orleans is the only US city built on sand flatland at the mouth of a huge river. Asia has several of those.

New York is building a seawall around lower Manhattan. The West Coast isn't that vulnerable because the coast is mountainous. Even in areas of LA that look flat, go a few blocks inland and you're up 10m or so above sea level. The parts of SF built on fill may have problems.

This isn't the end of the world. But some cities will need rebuilding.

That's a third of what a free personal Google account would get. I think emails alone would equal that for many faculty/staff, especially if you "archive" everything and only delete spam.

I agree that there will be a lot of people who minimally use the services, but email would likely be the highest space waster. Tons of people across the domain getting the same HTML-heavy newsletters, transactional emails, etc, would add up to a lot. Plain text emails are rare these days.
You didn't tell us the elephant in the room Greenwald failed to report on?
Off-topic, but one thing that puzzles me is the rather widespread believe that setting up a colony in Mars will somehow save humanity.

IMHO, exposing humans and their descendants for life to different conditions of gravity, radiation and overall ecosystem, will make them evolve in ways that will generate a totally different species in very few hundred years.

So it will be just a matter of time, until an orange-colored man with the slogan "Let's make the Earth great again" will want to build a wall between the Earth and Mars (and put it on Mars tab, of course) to avoid that immigrant Martians steal Earthlings jobs.

So a colony in Mars maybe preserves intelligent life with roots in the human species, but I do not think it will preserve the human species as we know it.

I find it almost funny how the media/culture/etc. seems determined to build a group of people that will react negatively to so-called "cancel culture." They seem to think that people will gladly follow the ever-growing list of arbitrary rules indefinitely.

If I were a betting man, I'd predict a resurgence in punk attitudes in about 2025 or 2030. At some point, the dam will break and people will stop caring. I already get a sense that the 13-19 generation is a bit tired of it.
And because a merchandising push in many games may be another 10-50 items, the first couple times the % increase is high but the magnitude is low (.5s to 1s) and by the time you're up to 1000, the % increase is too small to notice. Oh it took 30 seconds last week and now it's 33.

Boiling the frog, as it were. This class of problems is why I want way more charts on the projects I work on, especially after we hit production. I may not notice an extra 500ms a week, but I'm for damn sure going to notice the slope of a line on a 6 month chart.
Isn't that what pen-names are for? They can use a new pen-name if they want to write on a topic that might not be received well and only reveal themselves after it's well received. Has something changed so that this isn't as viable of a strategy anymore?

Elon Musk is really shooting for a self-sustaining city on Mars and SpaceX is his part of working towards that goal. He really is happy for competition and wishes there was more of it. He has stated that he is sometimes concerned that SpaceX has too many of the best people. With these other rocket companies doing well and drawing top talent, he is probably less concerned about that at this point.

We are also hiring for field engineers all over the world, as well as a documentation lead - https://www.solo.io/company/careers/
Although bond is held by the RTBA (or whatever it's called outside Vic), it's pretty common for landlords/property managers to try and strong arm tenants into giving up part of their bond for "damages", most of which are either resonable wear and tear, pre-existing, or not the responsibility of the tenant. For poorer people, who need the money sooner than later, it's often easier to agree to get half your bond back than to apply to VCAT (not to mention a lot of tenants fear they'll get blacklisted if they do) and possibly get all your bond back several months later.

I'm currently in the process of trying to claw my bond back from my previous landlord, it's been over 3 months now. Luckily I can afford it, but I know a lot of people who can't.
The reality is humans wouldn't believe the AI. They'd spend literal centuries arguing that the AI's parameters were wrong or the training data was bad if it meant they could protect their financial interests.

Maybe don't use services that are abusing you?

There are way too many people that tolerate absolutely pathological software vendors for trivial reasons. Don't be part of the problem.
This is happening in all professions I'd imagine. Everyone is so scared that they are violating some social framework - which is constantly shifting in what is acceptable or not acceptable.

To me I think it really slows down progress we could be making in multiple areas. It's kind of like a mental brake being applied to any freedom of thought. Almost like working in an old fashioned company where there's weeks worth of meetings and bureaucracy in order to get a change deployed to production to make sure everyone is okay with it, even those of whom it doesn't even impact.
Maybe the rest of the "Make something people want" poster says "...then take it away"?
Private Delivery Networks (A 2030 Survey)
DemandStar | Senior/Lead Full Stack Engineer (with initial emphasis on backend) | Remote (US only) | Full-time | https://network.demandstar.com/careers/ | email resumes to careers@demandstar.com, or questions to zcohn@demandstar.com.

Governments buy things. Companies sell things. DemandStar is marketplace that connects governments and suppliers, resulting in more competition and taxpayer savings for the government, and more opportunities with more discoverability for suppliers. We have almost 600 active governments and over 100,000 suppliers on our network and are growing quickly.

About the company: Have revenue, recently raised a $2M growth round from VersionOne, Advance Venture Partners, and Forefront Venture Partners. 20 person company, 6 person engineering team. Strong belief in building a healthy culture where people aren't working 60 hour weeks.

We're looking for a senior or lead fullstack engineer to build massive new features along the procurement lifecycle and engagement hooks that will directly impact the growth trajectory of the business. We have a strong team of frontend engineers today, so this role will initially have a heavy focus on the backend. We're building a collaborative engineering team that tackles big problems together.

Tech stack is React, migrating toward typescript, .Net backend, migrating to Node, and hosted on Azure. Open to introducing new technologies as opportunities arise, but good candidates should have some overlap in the existing stack.

We are building a team whose diversity reflects that of our users - local communities made up of all sorts of people all over the country. Our company is 40% non-male, our product and engineering team is 30% non-male, and geographically we already have team members in WA, OR, CA, CO, MD, GA, NJ, DC. We're building a distributed-first company for the long term (not just during COVID).
