It couldn't have come at a better time for me. I have just started looking for a better mic to sound better to my colleagues. Thanks for the wonderful write-ups and suggestions
Played a lot of Age of Empires 2, fantastic game. Been spending more of my time playing 'Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance'[0]. It has a community lobby system over here[1] that's pretty active (over 1400 simultaneous players at time of speaking).

I got infuriated by some of Age of Empire 2s limitations (e.g. limited selection size, awful pathfinding, games tending to stalemate). The extra ~decade SupCom had seems to have helped.

The Steam version often goes on sale for a few dollars once a month or so[2].

The whole economy feels like nonsense now. There's a massive overabundance of both capital and labor required to meet actual needs, so we keep creating ever more useless games to play with capital so that we can create more capital that the world doesn't need or actually use. In the meantime, massive portions of the population are struggling to make ends meet. I don't know where this ends but it can't be good.
You're only "stuck" if what you need is to inflate your wealth at the expense of someone losing theirs.

Ohhhhh man I feel like a kid in a candy store. Math is just so wonderful, no matter what half-baked thought you've been playing around with there's a massive goldmine of already completed thinking on it.
Value creation is only one part. The next question is how much of the value you create, you can capture for yourself.

Nurses create a lot of value, especially during a pandemic, but they receive only a tiny part of it. Competition can force you to give most of the value you create to your customers.
True; it's a better description of Javascript.
I suspect Bezos would have a more nuanced view.
There's another important bump in 10->11 which removed all of the bundled J2EE, so you have to add external copies of the removed libraries (if they exist; for instance, IIRC the CORBA stuff was removed without an external alternative). In my experience, these external copies have small subtle differences to the former bundled copy, which can cause some issues; though the biggest issue IMO is to find the correct external library name and version for each bundled J2EE library you depended on (and sometimes even which J2EE libraries you depended on, some things are loaded through reflection so it only fails at runtime).
You used to be able to store your own filesystems on google's databases [0]. No idea if this still works, though.

No experience with the building codes in Berlin, but a least the N story limit makes sense to me. It would totally destroy the look and feel of many parts of the city of this wasn’t in place.

What I think is a bigger problem is the countless vacant lots all over the city. Even centrally there are tons of them, e.g. with only a one story supermarket or parking lots (as mentioned above) or sometimes it’s just overgrown. I wonder what the deal are with those. My guess is that the city already sold them in more dire times and now owners just sit on them until the real estate prices makes the time ripe to build something there. Can’t find another explanation for it.

This also has the [side?]effect of preventing unionization: If you you have a different workplace every x weeks, it's hard to build meaningful relationships with your coworkers, which often are the basis of organizing for better working conditions. Other companies already implementented this more overtly for this reason, e.g. DHL (at least) in Germany.

There is a definite benefit to giving good faith customers confidence in their ability to return something if they aren't satisfied with it. If the majority of customers are not acting in good faith (meaning never intend to keep the item) that position becomes untenable for the business and as you state the terms are changed. The alternative is to drastically increase the price so that customers who actually want to purchase it can subsidize those that don't.

I'm not sure whether there's an ethical problem with acting in that way, but it resembles a "tragedy of the commons" situation. Or, "this is why we can't have nice things".
I've not had a single hardware issue in the more than decade I've been using MacBooks.

I've literally never wanted to replace anything in a laptop myself in the multiple decades I've been using laptops.
Yes Hong Kong has had that since iPhone 4 or 5 if I remember correctly. A few years later Apple said the problem were people abusing the system, basically buying iPhone, taking out some component, or even the Screen, replace them with other parts and sell those official parts for profits. Then returning the iPhone to Apple.

They also raised the price of latest iPhone by $100 since iPhone 5 because of China reselling. So if you exclude VAT or Import TAX, ( which HK doesn't have ), It would be the most expensive iPhone with the least amount of services.

Mac and others products are normal though.
The problem isn’t the forcing you to handle it, it’s the horrific API to handling it. It feels like all the OS representations were haphazardly bolted onto the core string API which is already kinda janky.

Rust just needs to sit down and make a good API for the whole set of string-ish types they have.
That's the biggest problem with crypto exchanges. They need to be brought under the same rules as other broker/dealers. The Know Your Customer rules are applied when you open the account, not when you withdraw.

Fails to process a withdrawal within specified time limits gets a broker in serious trouble. Institutional clients stop dealing with you within hours. See Drexel Burnam Lambert for an example. Then FINRA lands on you.
Many people don’t have the time or desire to become an expert at every little DIY task.

Studies are being designed to reduce the possibility that a patient just didn't respond well to one medication but instead shows a general lack of improvement from antidepressants. The goal is to know that the patient improved from psilocybin, specifically. One other problem with this stacked definition of treatment resistance is that doctors are going to be coerced to always try multiple antidepressants and guinea pig the hell out of patients. Doctors are going to refuse initial psilocybin treatment and only use it as a last resort because the studies are going to show that treatment resistance is necessary. Even worse will be if doctors are coerced by regulators and medical institutes to strictly follow their protocol. And this only includes doctors who agree to add psilocybin to their treatment programs. A lot of doctors will resist using it, claiming "unearned wisdom is dangerous wisdom" and so forth. The "unearned wisdom" claim is based on the indoctrinated belief that a patient must undergo many hours of therapy and slowly peel layers of experience in order to truly understand, whereas psilocybin offers a shortcut.

For these reasons and others, I believe that the vast majority of depressed people who haven't healed from traditional methods ought not pursue clinical studies as a viable pathway to psilocybin-assisted therapy.
If they're using external speakers, the only reason you're not hearing echo is because it's being software-cancelled. Different systems are better or worse at this software-cancelling; phones are good, Apple computers are good, otherwise YMMV.
I haven't used an ORM for some time (back when I programmed in Rails), but my experience and understanding is that an ORM largely replaces hand written SQL for a number of CRUD-style queries to manage object relational mapping for a persistence tier, and addresses a different issue than native vs SQL based operations in tabular environment such as as Pandas or R-dataframes.

What I'm talking about is this:

https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/getting_started...

I personally am not especially interested in recreating relational set operation using pandas operations. There are things I'd much rather do in pandas (such as summary statistics), and some things I'd much rather do in SQL elaborate JOINs and aggregations. I do admit there will be a grey area.

Interestingly, there are a lot of people who absolutely can't stand SQL, whereas I (and a lot of people) vastly prefer it.

As for ORMs - I actually did like them back when I did this sort of programming (managing the back and forth between objects and tables was honestly very boring), though once I was into reports, I often went straight to raw SQL. I no longer do that sort of work, and almost all code I now write is for analytical purposes, so I don't do any CRUD.
I think it's the "1$ = 1 vote" is the issue here.

There is a phenomenon of minor celebrities making a porn tape to cash in on their 15 minutes of fame, but sometimes they hire an actor to stand in for them, and it is clearly a different person. I wonder if one place where the displayed person will consent, is using deepfake technology to better make the actor look like the celebrity.

Wealth is a human's worth under capitalism and arguing against riches of any kind while the number goes up is a philosophical attack on what we believe in as a society. At best you're looked at as an idiot, at worst you're the enemy that threatens the system. Fortunately, this too shall pass.
>I really don't understand this sentiment, as if a professional gambler would not gladly gamble with novices...

There are a few cases I can think of immediately where this applies - gambling with novices in Blackjack, for example, is not ideal. They'll screw up the flow of cards and can cause your math to go haywire. The same happens with Hold-em or Omaha Poker - you want people to have enough skill to play the game properly, but if you're looking to fleece them not enough skill to play the game well.

Of course it is. The topic is hip-hop livestreams, not race war. The article contained a phrase that some people found provocative—does that mean we should change the topic to the provocation and have a big argument about it? On HN, the answer is no. If you've read the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), that should be obvious.

When I happened on this thread, it had been upvoted to the top and was choking out all discussion on the smaller, more obscure topic. That's a failure mode for HN.

When an article contains a provocation, flamewars don't start themselves. Someone has to import the provocation into the thread and start reacting to it here. From an HN perspective, that's the original sin - not the provocation itself. If we just left it in its original habitat and ignored it, nothing bad would happen.

Online discussion tends to gravitate to the few hottest, angriest, and most generic themes. Something about the mind gets stuck on those and wants to repeat them over and over. This is exciting in one way but it's not interesting in HN's sense of the word. Therefore it's off topic here. Threads like this one should be like a spaceship traveling to a little-known planet that hasn't been visited much. For that, we need to steer clear of black holes.

I kinda wish that there was a timelapse for Google search. Search seems to be heavily biased towards stuff popular right now. It seems older things disappear fairly quickly.

I've been in a position where I wanted to search for a website that was popular in 2012 without having the exact name, and having to find an old forum post that linked to it to find it.
The US did the same thing with the USS San Francisco after it collided with an undersea seamount in 2005 and nearly sank.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_San_Francisco_(SSN-711)#Co...

"In June 2006, it was announced that San Francisco's bow section would be replaced at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard with the bow of USS Honolulu, which was soon to be retired. San Francisco is four years older than Honolulu, but she had been refueled and upgraded in 2000–2002. The cost of her bow replacement has been estimated at $79 million, as compared with the estimated $170 million to refuel and overhaul the nuclear reactor of Honolulu."
Last I looked in Gothenburg those seem a joke. Only about 50 apartments in the whole city and an average queue time of 10 years or so.

I think one of the limiting factors is Android, which is still stuck with Java 8. So if you're developing a library, which in theory may be used in Android app by others, you have to stick to Java 8 to make it compatible.
> In the US, we have a thriving culture of shaming people for anything and everything, so companies can have generous policies and lean on the social norms interpretation to keep people in check.

Consumers in US can buy a product without the anxiety of not having read the fine print, knowing that the seller will honor the return policy. Sellers also end up selling more because most buyers like the product they buy. Society wins overall.

I have lived both in India and US, about two decades each at both places.
Pretty sure it's fear of it being added to anti trust complaint.

It is really frustrating as a user, and undoubtedly Google knows this. So an impending lawsuit is the only reason I can see for them not blocking nyt/other sites that do this.
trying to stop the trades is the wrong fix. The right fix is remove their ability to affect markets. Getting to choose winners and losers will always create opportunity to abuse this privilege.
2% is entirely up to local regulation. EU has capped it to 0.2% or 0.3%. Which I would guess that cash doesn't do too much better.
Bill Gates covers this extensively in his recent excellent book: How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. Even if all the rich world countries went to emissions zero, that wouldn’t be enough, because the developing world needs to continue to develop. This is a good thing but it is a problem of progress, and underscores how complicated the solution is
This is a great point. Not to mention the world owed the US a bunch of money due to the Lend Lease Act.

It's like watching mold spores growing.
This is a straw man. There are absolutely people who are concerned about both overpopulation, and individual overconsumption.

I am one. I limit my personal carbon footprint. I do not own a car (and hopefully never will). I rarely eat meat. I live in a cheap, inefficient apartment because I'm living on a student income, but I keep the heat low to try to limit my energy consumption.

I probably won't have kids, because it wouldn't be consistent with my concerns about climate change to bring another high-consuming American into the world.
It seems the issue was in how OpenEthereum handled access lists introduced by EIP2929/2930. They were adding built-in contract addresses to access lists in blocks before those addresses were activated.
> A small proportion of a big pie can be much more filling than a large proportion of a small pie.

This is for sure. But with regards to pure "increasing one's net worth while sitting on the couch" then deflationary is always better than inflationary.

Of course there are other considerations. For sure there is a currency more deflationary than USD, but such currency doesn't give you access to the US equity and bond markets. So what you lose on the inflation side you recoup with the use side.

> Having said that, and speaking for at least myself, the (in my opinion) misguided narrative around deflation and 'store of value' that is common in bitcoin core world makes me much more interested in bitcoin cash and ethereum commmunities where niche economic philosophies I don't agree with are not as common as in bitcoin core.

I think if we are talking price prediction, then the only people who invest in crypto are the ones who embrace a "misguided narrative around deflation"

Those who have an academic view around deflation won't ever invest.

Those who don't care and stick to predicting price such as myself will invest in moderation to trade on the true believers we just mentioned.

Honestly, I don't think the problem can get worse. Or at least, it won't get worse because of more information. The capacity of the human mind for rationalization is already essentially infinite, people are manipulated because they want to be manipulated.

It's pretty much to be expected, the world is really quite complicated and without a drive for consensus independent thought would lead you astray a hundred times before leading you to water.
Our comments and questions along these lines don't seem to be too popular. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up in the industry I'm in with my own locally unique thoughts and conclusions. It's very tiring.
> and having rich white people telling you you're a bad person.

While their predecessors done exactly the same.

Rich people become gatekeepers. If everyone could be rich, then they wouldn't be so special anymore. That's why they lobby for high taxes (with appropriate loopholes, so they don't pay them, but anyone who starts from 0 won't get rich), excessive regulation (so that poor man's company will never be able to compete) and other measures to keep population "in check".
> For example, Pelosi in Dec 22 was against more stimulus. Her husband buys deep ITM TSLA and AAPL calls that day. December 23rd, she is suddenly for stimulus again, with those same companies ralling 5%, giving her an instant +30 return.

> Congressman Gottheimer is absolutely an incredible options trader. He’s been selling calls at peaks on $MSFT all 2021, & seemingly buying back the contracts on dips. This in blocks of $250,000 - $5,000,000, which is incredible size given the amount of $MSFT shares he owns. For ex, on 02-12 he sold 500k $MSFT $160 strike expiring 06/18/2021. On that same day, he bought deep ITM calls of $1M-5M at $145 expiring 03/19/2021. The whale caught both of his movements as well.

This is fucking unreal.
What trial, what research? I have spent 20 years in psy festivals still have no depression even after these lockdowns and people I know are free of depression too.

The problem is that Hollywood doesn't understand "commoditize your complement."

Having more than one streaming service isn't a big problem, assuming they're priced reasonably. Going from one service with everything for $15 to ten services with a tenth of everything for $15 each isn't really that, but that's not the root of it.

Their problem is that people are going to want a single interface to view everything through. If you actually subscribe to three different services, you want to turn on your TV and see everything available to you.

The companies in the best position to do this are the likes of Google, Apple, Sony, Microsoft. Hollywood isn't too stupid to realize the dangers of that, but they're missing the obvious solution to it.

Publish a standard streaming API, so that anybody can make a streaming client, the same as anybody could make a VCR. Then the dominant consumer of the API won't be a big monopolistic corporation that will then be able to use its power against the movie producers, it will be a zillion different companies selling dirt cheap HDMI dongles with WiFi who each individually has no power at all. They'll all end up running whatever open source software somebody publishes to consolidate all the different services into one interface, which Hollywood could then improve themselves the same as any other open source project. It competitively atomizes a third party middle man that they don't want.

But it's basically the opposite of DRM. Security through clarity -- make everything open so nobody powerful can insert themselves between you and the viewer. Because big tech companies are more of a threat to them than The Pirate Bay. And they have to realize that before they're willing to do it.

This is why we need a plan to build enough cities in the United States for a billion citizens and swap land in the “global south” for a free home and prompt citizenship. We can’t just let the world’s lungs be cut down by the logic that we made the same mistake 200 years ago.

Progressives tend to idolize complainers more than creators. Labor gets more credit for the 40 our work week than the employers who popularized it like Henry Ford. Civil rights activists get more credit than judges and lawmakers who risked their careers. This isn't to diminish the accomplishments of labor unions or the Civil Rights movement as it certainly takes a lot for disenfranchised groups to gain political clout. The problem is that it feeds to the illusion that simply complaining about things as loudly as possible about every single perceived injustice will somehow make the world better.
