Since many people in the thread have already raised really good objections about the myopic nature of focusing on GDP growth to measure social progress, I'd like to add a comment on the final paragraph of the post:

> These are huge numbers. The worst estimates of climate change are 7% of GDP in 2100. And those are surely overstated (see the excellent new paper by José Luis Cruz and Estban Rossi-Hansberg) You may admire the NHS for saving money, but even if the 20% of GDP we spend on health care is totally wasted, we're still ahead. Lots of people admire the European model. Just how far Europe is behind the US is remarkable -- and getting worse.

It really bothers me that the guy casually waves away the problem of climate change, reducing it to at most a cost of 7% of GDP by 2100 - this is a major error that many economists make. If the worst of climate change happens, there won't be much of a GDP left to count - you just can't capture catastrophic changes with macro-economic time series forecasting.

It's also astonishingly simplistic to do back of the envelope extrapolations of GDP growth and healthcare costs and conclude that the US will 'come up ahead'. What people admire about the NHS is not that it saves money, it's that it delivers good healthcare to everybody (also more cheaply than the private US system).
I think you’re being very, very generous in your interpretation of roles. You don’t just risk “innovating” when human lives are at stake, and in this case the danger was very well known: the engineers knew exactly what, and how, it could fail, due to the temperature being way out of spec.

Launching under freezing weather was no particular achievement. They could have delayed the launch for better weather with no loss of “big milestones”.
I think right now, the plan is to escalate tensions, not reduce them.
There is a certain total of income for salary available in a country; e.g, the US is spending about 44% of GDP on salaries/compensation[1]. The difference in income for software engineers is partially (and possible mainly) because the US is very income-inequal - ie, because there are more poor people to prop you up. If you look at income inequality before taxes and transfers[2], the US is the most income-inequal of any of the OECD countries. If you look at it after taxes and transfers[3], Chile, Turkey and Mexico manage to do worse.

I don't think many other people are panic buying at the moment, so doing it now won't hurt other people by creating a localised shortage.

Hello everyone!
http://30daysoftailwindcss.com/

Here we have another challenge. This one is about Tailwind CSS, I was astonished it wasn't already existing so here we have it up and running.

You can also follow an optional path with 30 challenges, from super basic to a bit more challenging, like to create a whole UI, why not, right?

You will see it soon as you land.

For references read Tailwind docs.
- tailwindcss.com

If you need inspiration, you can find it in codepen.io.

Anyways, if you have any feedback or questions, just do it right here or on twitter.

Yes, got killed pretty quickly.

Take a look:

Specifically:
"any activity that places a burden on our servers, where that burden is disproportionate to the benefits provided to users (for example, don't use Actions as a content delivery network or as part of a serverless application, but a low benefit Action could be ok if it’s also low burden); or"
As someone that is the food mostly spice trade prices have started going up in the last 2-3 weeks though prices have not even reached pre pandemic levels. Black Pepper prices have jumped 20+% in the last 20day that price is still 50% cheaper than what it was 4-5 years ago. The largest problem is not availablity of goods rather shipping. I would advise investing in shipping companies if you are active in the stock market. As now days they are charging 3-4 times the freight and still hard to get space so they probably rare raking it in
Yes, I can beat it.
Nice play though.
People keep making this argument, but if you go out and try and get an Android phone, it’s more likely to be Samsung or one of the Chinese brands. Even with enthusiasts Android is a commodity phone. You min-max price and features more often than not because there’s no lock in to an ecosystem.
I recall this being broadly the same during the first lockdown as well pre brexit.
Losing UC as a subscriber is a huge own goal for Elsevier. Researchers will get used to:
1. always posting preprints,
2. always looking for preprints first,
3. using scihub to get older papers,
4. citing and sharing material using links to preprints or scihub by default.

They will spread these habits to their students and colleagues and as they move between institutions. UC is huge across all the constituent colleges and many parts of it are extremely prestigious, so UC grad students are the sort of people who will often end up as professors in other institutions.

Is this self-confidence, making you feel you know what you are talking about?

Or do you think it convinced/conned the audience by using such as a dubious visual prop?
Within the same data center, a network call doesn't need to have significant performance overhead; it can be on the order of a read from main memory. Still overhead, but for many SLOs it's irrelevant.

The inherent cost of microservices is conceptual and organizational complexity, not runtime performance (though you can certainly build slow microservices, you can also build slow monoliths).
Here in Australia, some food prizes are up because the farming industry relies on cheap backpacker labor.

Borders are shut so no backpackers come in, so a lot of fruit died on the field.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/02/world/australia/agricultu...

It should be noted that the entire industry is notorious for doing every dodgy thing they can get away with, wage theft, rent theft, extreme conditions, so local workers stay as far away from these jobs as they can.

Other industries have done OK though. Wheat grain, for example, is predicted to be pretty average: https://research.csiro.au/graincast/wheat-yield-forecasts/
HI ending was kinda expected. CGP Grey seems to be a guy who is trying to minimize his personal public presence and the show was going from general internet culture discussions between two creators to Brady the Interviewing Genius trying to get Grey the Reclusive Weirdo to say something interesting. That dynamic is obviously not sustainable.

Compare that with Cortex where Gray can talk productivity systems and his unanswered love for Apple all day long. Endless content there, as you can never overthink it too much.

Closed borders, no students/backpackers, farmers unprepared to pay minimum wages to Australians is resulting in a lot of produce being plowed back into the ground. I just don't know how this economy keeps rolling.

The difference is you don’t need 20 years of training and multiple post-doc diplomas to join the army. Every loss there is insanely expensive in terms of human capital.
The opening example this article gives is preposterous. Who would make an HR complaint over one ill-considered remark? Who would want to work with a person who would? I agree with Google here that you should assume good intent coming from other people until they prove that wrong, and I don't think that standard was applied here.

I think you are having a very idealised vision of society and families. You would be surprised to see what lies beneath all those "functional" families of the past. To my experience, having an active sex life (not talking here about carelessness) and multiple partners, even one night stands, could be quite helpful for someone and help them open up and experience life.
Well, there is Dylan.

Turns out lockdowns aren’t free, even if you just don’t compensate businesses.
> How is that relevant? you claimed things have changed since then, show me the money.

This is what I said:

> US needed China against Russia, that's no longer the case.

US no longer needs China against Russia... There's your money... What's hard to understand about that?

(USSR is gone, communism is gone, Russia is no longer the superpower it was although it still is a major threat)

Now, comment above was with respect to:

> US still haven't established formal diplomatic relation with Taiwan, like all UNSC countries, your argument is simply invalid.

Even though they haven't established formal relations, they still guarantee Taiwan, straight from the horses mouth in some cases -> see Reagan/Bush/Trump
Clearly he's not out there doing the surgeries himself; he hires people to do that.

I know that Eastern Europe is "killing it" regionally by a mix of good policies, EU funding and geoarbitrage - I've lived there - but European Union as whole is slowly declining.

Yes, we are still the world leader on lifestyle and culture - I don't want to create roots anywhere else - but I don't believe this will be enough to guarantee a bright future for my children.
I find it funny how the stats get skewed by developers or people coming from HN (83% from HN at the time of viewing).

Windows, the most used OS in the world is listed under "Other" when looking at the Platforms pie chart. Pretty funny that in the HN community Linux is more commonly used than Windows, at least from the people that clicked on the link.
This sort of news makes me want to panic.
> The price of food has slightly increased since brexshit, whereas its availability has plummeted: the number of varieties of vegetables stocked by my local Tesco, for example, has plummeted, and the stock sells out almost immediately after delivery.

Zero problems in any of the major supermarkets in my area in the South East. My food bills haven't increased notably either, if anything, looking at my bank statement right now, they seem lower over the past 4-5 months than the year before.

The only anecdotal thing I have noticed, is that there a few new brands on the shelves that weren't there previously, but that's probably just observational and confirmation bias, because I was looking for something, I saw it.
Interesting..

As a Finn this keeps me up at night.

According to the World Bank data our GDP per capita was roughly equal to that of the US in 2008 (even slightly higher for a while) [0]. Since then the recession hit us a lot harder than the US and our economy still hasn't recovered.

I don't have a good explanation on what happened and why we haven't been able to recover. The conventional answer is some mix of failed austerity based politics in the early 2010s, a bloated public sector, stiff labour markets and structural problems relating to an aging and shrinking population.

On top of the facts mentioned above (or maybe because of them) there's a weird sense of fatalism in our society that I find deeply unnerving. We did a decent job of handling the pandemic, but apparently completely suppressing the pandemic was determined to be "impractical" for what ever reason I still can't fathom. Now we're postponing our state/municipality elections because of not being able to keep the virus in check.

I'm feeling angry about my own country in a way I haven't before. We're still doing ok, but I'm frustrated that no one is really demanding that we do better.

Give people more money, and you will see the price of everything rise without seeing the amount of stuff they buy go up.

In the specific case of COVID in the UK, people have been given money to replace the money they would have earned. The people don't have extra money. The system hasn't changed except for the fact that the money is coming from the government instead of the their employer.

Retro video terminal experience at the Slovenian Computer History Museum
I agree. Lately, I try to refrain from using the term 'best practices' in favor of 'good practices', 'common practices' or even 'my practices' for several reasons:

- True best practices mainly refer to standards, and this list is very slowly updated, unlike the number of false ones;

- It's often used for marketing purposes, which works well, but doesn't always imply quality;

- Since this spreads fast, we often have things at the places where they do not fit, but squeezed into, because it's the best, so we must have it;

- Forms a wrong mindset to rely upon someone else's experience instead of learning and gaining own understanding.

In the end, we have tons of inapplicable or controversial information to filter, which doesn't make things better, in my opinion. Sharing is great but we should do it responsibly.

It's also a bit funny to watch how the best practices suddenly become the worst.

Possible? or are you in a different parallel universe? do you see a war currently happening between mainland China and Taiwan?

That's the actual reality my friend.

For about a year now i buy food in bulk. Mostly because its really nice to have everything at home. However i likely buy more food now too as i never experience the 'nothing nice to eat better go to sleep' situations any more.
I wouldn't bet on my phone's processor being functional in the XXIInd century, but this code will likely still be in EVM, ready to run.

ChartUP – Visual Data Representation
I was really interested in this as an easy way to help people get to grips with the intricacies of Pandas and working with dataframes, but after looking over the source code that's published on Pypi I don't think I can ever recommend this package to anyone due to the degree of tracking that's present in the code.

There's no mention of the Segment tracking in the docs, and I don't see anyway for the user to opt out of it, which I think is an immediate GDPR issue.

Given that you are logging metadata about the dataframes in use along with the user email and name of the logged in user, I can't see this ever being used in an environment where sensitive data is being processed, since it could potentially leak PII that's easily tied to a given company via the email address.

This is a great idea, and I think if you can go with the BSD license and provide a way for people to opt out of tracking (or ideally flip it and allow them to opt in) this could be used in any number of industries. As it stands currently I just don't think this will ever pass a data audit at any large company which is a real shame.
imo that’s worse than python’s largely solved dependency management issues. Most people just use conda and it’s good enough. Is it as good as competing languages? No, but it’s still better than VBA’s ecosystem (including your solution) by miles. That said, I think it’s awesome that you’re still supporting VBA veterans since MS left them out in the cold.

It is indeed "panic buying" by the definition, but it need not be panicked. It is prudent to have a few months of supplies on hand if you know you're going to need them.
The problem wasn't the immediate explosion but the huge cloud of hyper-radioactive fallout it would have produced.

Chernobyl still managed to poison large areas of Europe, but the effects were mercifully localised and temporary.

A steam explosion would have increased those effects and the areas they affected by some orders of magnitude.
Not explicit but Ser Meryn comes to mind.
No, it should prevent someone else taking the code and starting a competing service with said code without opening its source.

If it was GPL, you'd be forced to open your source if you distributed your software to others - it does not apply to a web service where the software is always ran in the owner's computer. So I could take your GPL code, build a service running on my server (without ever distributing the actual software) and not open my source. AGPL tries to fix that loophole.

So if you are a user of this service, license has nothing to do with your own project, you are just a user of the service. But if you grab the source and create your own analytics (or something else) service from it then you have to open that source even if it runs on your own server(s).
In many European countries you can be "poor" (i.e. have low or negative wealth) while still maintaining a relatively high standard of living. The most expensive asset most people own is their home, so if you rent all your life or have a very long mortgage that you don't necessary intend to pay off (which is not uncommon in some countries) you might have very low or negative wealth. And you might not need to save as much due to socialized healthcare, social safety nets, etc.

Looking at the median wealth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_pe...), a median person in Spain is 3 times as "rich" then someone in Sweden and Germans or the Dutch are more "poor" than Slovaks or Greeks etc. But this is largely a result of relatively low home ownership rate in most North European countries.

However if we disregard average people and look just at the top 10% or even 1% Sweden is still Remarkably similar to the US:

Wealth Share of the top 10%/1% *

United States: 75.9% / 35.4%
Sweden: 75.3% / 37.4%
Netherlands: 68% / 26.6%
Denmark: 66.6% / 29.3%
Germany: 65.1% / 30.2%
Norway: 65% / 32%
United Kingdom: 59.3% / 24.5%
Spain: 55% / 23.8%
France: 54.6% / 22.2%
...

* according to https://www.credit-suisse.com/about-us/en/reports-research/g..., see page 168 in "Global wealth databook 2019" fro the full table
No. And No.
I am surprised how pervasive is the idea that most of the applications has to be written in TC languages (I suspect it's more a historical accident, due to "eternal September" of people who came into IT from home computers; before that, there was a pretty strong divide between system and application programmers). I think when they talk about paradigm shift, this could be a paradigm shift. Using TC languages only for tools, but write the application logic (and systems configuration) in non-TC languages.

(Also see my earlier comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26248362)
There's an additional article that was on here the other day, that says there's a world-wide shipping problem.

Many containers are abandoned in countries that aren't on major routes because they took PPE to those countries, but never bothered to bring the empty containers back.

Also lots of boats moored off the US East and West coasts, plus Europe, waiting of loading/unloading because of delayed supply chains due to COVID.

It's a butterfly or ripple effect of high optimized supply chains being affected by small changes caused by nature/the government throwing a virus shaped spanner in the works.
// just a nitpick: advertisement is just one 'd' so, as far as I know it should be ads
The article blames transportation cost due to Covid, and an increase in raw food prices for the rise in food cost.

In my little bubble, in the Bay Area, it feels like plain old greed, and opportunity, but not price gouging.

When the government tells me where I can shop, along with my fear of how certain stores have dealt with Covid precautions, my buying habits don’t take price into account like before.

The first few months; I bought transportation, and raw costs, but now I’m not so sure.

My local Safeway has raised prices on everything. At first, they looked like they were trying to be fair. Now——it looks like they know people can basically shop fir food, so why not raise prices on everything while they have you there?

Same goes for Homedepot. Yea, raw wood prices, and appliances have gone up, but it looks like everything they sell went up.

I haven’t been into Whole food because my local store has had too many sick employees.

(While we are on prices, Mercury Insurance refunded me $6.46 on a $600 policy, and that was last year. Why hasn’t my insurance gone way down? It just seems like accidents would be down? My policy is minimum I can legally get away with. I was going to switch to an insurance company that bills per mile, but my old car does not have a computer that Tye “honesty” devise can plug into. I would be happy to send the company a picture of my odometer monthly, but that is not an option.)
