I remember these short 20-30 page math books written for 6th-8th grade students by prominent Soviet mathematicians. Extremely clear exposition. About 30 years later, I still remember the contents of the book on logarithms, which gave geometric interpretation of log as the area under the curve of 1/x, and used that to show why log must satisfy properties such as log(ab) = log(a) + log(b). As a 12 year old, my mind was blown away and I read all such books that I could find, which lead to a lifelong passion for mathematics.
Yeah DJ Hero would be insanely hard to do, the machine vision part would be tricker for all the reasons you suggested. Simulating the scratch dynamics from the peripheral would be tricky too since it's not just a binary switch as far as the game goes but has certain tolerances which you'd need to calibrate. Effects dial you could ignore but I guess it would be easy enough to send a signal emulating that.

Agree that Beatmania would be amazing as a challenge and could build on the Jon Bot Jovi design!
I would recommend Sergei Mihkalkhov's Disobedience Holiday and other children's stories. Soviet children's writing was very high quality and at par with what was being written in the west. Perhaps the Soviet ones had better art too and were well printed and bound.
Even the lush Soviet inks had a peculiarly inviting smell and eye-popping colour.

AppGet was a hobby project, and its maintainer ceased to maintain it, because Microsoft came up with something that doesn't work??? I thought that was that was exactly the thing that made Kaiven start his project...
Thank you for being a voice of reason. Puritanism is so popular on HN.
Most treadmills don't have this problem, they have a basic plastic guard below so it can't suck up toddlers and pets and kill them. It's not expensive, it's not hard.

Your argument is buy this flawed treadmill, which is almost exclusively intended for home use, and never have children and pets in your home. Ever.

On repeated version of game, it pays off to reject unequal deal. So that the other person is incentivized to offer more. So apparently, the desire to punish feeling is optimizing our behavior for repeated game.

Pls, if we are competing in some sense, say socially, then it is better for you to prevent advancement of person you are competing with.
> Most countries finance themselves with the always convenient "future-taxes" excuse, in other words, debt.

No, most countries finance themselves primarily by taxes; they typically also use debt financing, especially (in relative terms) countercyclically in economic downturns.

> Last year, the US collected $3.42 trillion in taxes, but spent $6.55 trillion for a record deficit of $3.13 trillion.

So, even the best single example you could come up with is...financed primarily by taxes, even in the one year you tried to pull as a counterexample?

As a user and as a dev I have strong opinions about PWAs. I'm not a fan. If I want to visit a website, I'll use a browser to go to a website.

As to your other point, yes if Safari started doing anti-privacy things, I would ditch the iPhone and go Android. Right now, they seem to be supporting my privacy.
The point is that even analytics that are 100% anonymous and aggregated, with no privacy concerns, are still pieces of business intelligence.
> If requirements were fulfilled, but you aren't happy with the result, then your requirements were wrong.

Isn't it possible for a dev to fulfill requirements but still deliver a bad result as measured by subjective (but important) things such as code smells, bloat, crappy algorithmic logic, and so on? Or do you think managers need to spec things out in such strenuous detail that surprises (but also, to an extent, autonomy and ad hoc decision making) aren't possible?

There's also the case of R&D roles where it's hard to spec things out exactly in advance, and you're partly relying on the employee's ingenuity.
If this corporate fetish isn't on the same borderline as pedophilia. I don't know what is. I absolutely despise this form of capitalism. Businesses nowadays have no moral responsibility. No ethical responsibility.

What makes this worse, is now even the adults (ahem parents) will have an extra excuse of a babysitter. Out of the lack of effort or just plain ignorance. I am sad for this new generation of kids being targeted from their formative years. Being hooked on social media psychologically. Not being able to form an opinion that is of themselves. Being cogs in the SM machine.

It's almost funny I just saw some startup the other day, forgot the name, that wants to sort of be a LinkedIn network for young kids. I almost lost it.
A game of study for comparison might be Victoria 2. It's a grand strategy set in the Victorian period and has a decent economic simulator that the player can influence in a fair few different ways.

A few different ways a player can effect their nation's economy include: unlocking technologies, conquering territory for resources, expanding a nations sphere of influence for resources and markets, electing parties with different economic policies (planned economy vs laissez faire), playing with taxes/tariffs, encouraging certain industries, etc. The economic simulation isn't super deep, but it is deep enough to be engaging and fulfilling to a player who likes these sorts of spreadsheet simulator games.

You know, managment will become accustomed to that. My first scuffle with US “work ethics” came when I spent a year in a fairly well-known company and yeah, everyone was enthusiastic and passionate and... management expected no less than total dedication and zeal from their underlings.

Plausible literally provides a toggle to make it public in their UI: https://plausible.io/docs/visibility

Sure, someone could send out unique links to random `utm_campaign` IDs and see "did the person click it?" and I agree that's a bit nasty.

But even if you do convince someone to click _your_ link, what good does that do? We can see you yourself clicked that link from Germany on a mobile phone, and that's literally it. We can't get your IP address, or any PII - it's not stored.

You were able to verify what level of information my site is collecting *because* it is public. That is simply better than me spying and recording everything you do and you just having to "hope I never accidentally release it or sell it to someone" as is the case with modern tracking.

>> If I have a way to reduce tax, I'll do so as well.

Please do enlighten the rest of us here, on how to reduce our taxes down to single-digit percentages, or millions/billions in absolute.
Exactly what I was going to say. Governance is social weight, which is exactly what you have if you buy your way to 51%. Proof of person also suffers from this because decentralized collectives can conspire and/or collectively make decisions (as we saw with $GME), but it always guarantees that any person ultimately has exactly the same fundamental weight as any other person.

It is an extremely hard problem and I think it is impossible to achieve true decentralization because many other things are centralized, like human relationships. Mom, dad, sister, brother, girlfriend, boyfriend, best friend, business partner, etc. will always share increased affinity with you when making certain decisions. Unfortunately, I believe the human flaw is that we are more likely to agree with people based on relationship rather than on merit. Humans are corruptible and can be convinced to sway in a certain way, and therefore create gravity wells of centralization.

It sounds crazy, but a classic example is "cliques" in high school. There's the jocks, the goths, the nerds, etc. They are like little planets of centralized thinking, dancing together in the uncertain space of adolescence.
I think the feature that I wish for the most is a standardized git plugin (or transport protocol) that allows a decentralized way to manage issues, releases and project wikis.

Then all the DMCA problems would be immediately gone. It's sad that the gittorrent idea never really took off.

From my experience a buyer doesn't pay if there's already a seller's agent. The standard contract is usually something like 6% is set aside for agents and is split among the buyer and seller's agent if each exist (you don't want the seller's agent representing your interests). Sure, if you and the buyer were comfortable and experienced enough you could go without (you may want a property lawyer instead to look over things). I've never met the other party when buying/selling. I think agents are very good at helping the deal close. Buyers and sellers can get very hung up on minor details--I had a seller bump the price $5k for no reason after we agreed on a price. Negotiating repairs is over 100s of dollars in a multi-hundred-thousand dollar transaction.

While they don't usually pass along properties for sale (since it's faster to research yourself) I have found them helpful when talking about the local area (history, schools, etc). They often negotiate tours before properties go on the market. They'll get the keys and follow your schedule. They've been very helpful in scheduling and coordinating things like inspections in repairs--often being the one on site and letting me stay at work.

I don't trust they have 100% of my interest in mind (they want to close and get their cut), but they have an answer for inspections, repairs, mortgage company, etc. I'll usually go with their people to close and change insurance or refinance later when time to close isn't an issue.

One thing I loved about visiting relatives in India in the 70s was the exciting soviet influence which was not available in the west. "Cosmonauts visit Delhi" screamed a newspaper headline that made me beg to go visit Delhi. I've never forgotten that.

As an adult, I of course realized the Soviet Union was only interesting because I wasn't getting a full picture, but that is true of a lot of things I suppose.
Irodov and Crotov ?
Great. Now do the comparison with vehicles that have equivalent driver populations. Tesla's are not (on average) bring bought by the most dangerous drivers, so comparing them with the average US driver is being deliberately disingenuous.

What's the per mile accident rate for < 2 year old $40k+ purchase price vehicles? That's a more interesting comparison I would argue.
The other thing that is interesting about Codecov is how they distribute their analysis/uploader. You download a fresh uploader for every CI run, even if you're using your CI platform's native integration (i.e. the CircleCI "orb"). I get why they do this -- if they instructed people to download a binary and store it, customers would do that exactly once and never update it, causing them to have to support old versions of their API indefinitely (or annoy their customers greatly). So basically, we took a shortcut that triggers everyone's security spidey sense, and exactly as predicted, we all got burned.

(I will point out that their uploader is literally a curl | bash, but that isn't really the problem here. Installing a Debian package or downloading a statically linked Go binary would be just as risky. Actually, it would have been harder to find the underlying problem.)

All in all I'm pretty disappointed. We trusted Codecov with a shortcut that makes it easy for them to deliver a better product. They didn't have any security in place to ensure that what was checked into source control was what customers downloaded, and now we're all hacked.

Everyone can't just collectively move away from the MLS database. I'm sure redfin is trying to figure it out.

I like to say that the reason you need two agents to sell a house is because you need one agent to convince the seller to sign that contract and another agent to push the buyer.

In an ideal world the seller would hire someone to show the house to potential buyers (e.g. redfin pays a fixed hourly rate to its agents who show the house) and then both seller and buyer hire real estate attorney to close the deal. 3K usd max. This nice plan falls apart when sellers and buyers can't agree where houses will be listed for sale (don't offer craiglist).

We need you know.. Tinder for houses.

The only description of what that $15 per month actually buys is broadband. The idea of a maximum price cap seems kind of ridiculous compared to a minimum service criteria, like a free meal at a soup kitchen compared to a minimum service guarantee.
Looks like you are basing things on Austrian Economics.

A friend of mine who’s a strong advocate of this philosophy said that the reason why Keynes is so popular in the real world (fiat currency, national banks, micro/macro economics) is that it gives politicians something to do.

It’s worth thinking about what economic philosophy your game is following or is biased towards (I always felt that the older civilization games were biased toward “research is good” and against democracy as the senate made it too difficult to go to war. Last one could be argued to pro democracy if you try to bring the lesson out of the game and into the real world. )

But zoning, setting taxes, building infrastructure, police and military are things that no one has really managed to leave to the market forces.

I believe sim city added disasters because they felt players didn’t really have anything to do...
You're talking about completely different thing than what OP was talking about. It's about developer having a different vision than you.

You either need to accept that someone sees the problem differently than you and accept their solution, or if it is something important to you, you need to get better at explaining your vision.

Anyway, back to your requirements, as you pointed those requirements are subjective. If those are important things you should still outline what's expected. You don't have to do it for every project, and can be when person is being on-boarded.
I think you absolutely need to be open to being wrong about things.

But that's independent to building enough credibility to be able to speak truth to power.

Bitcoin is neither good nor bad for China.

The minors are not making USD for foreign reserves to be honest, they are mostly a way to transfer wealth out of the country (buying equipments and electricity and sell bitcoins abroad or not selling it at all). That's why China has banned its bank to do crypto related transactions and exchanges mostly. However, it is hard to enforce. You can find many exchange use Bank Transfer, AliPay and WeChat pay.

Owning Bitcoins are legal in China. Who knows once the digital RMB is out.

Imagine living in 2021 and still thinking this propaganda talking point from 1949 still holds any weight with anyone.

We know competition doesn't work. Competitors get bought out. We know the stock market doesn't work. Money raised gets used to automate away jobs, not expand and increase the number of human beings actually needed by the company. We know pricing doesn't get corrected, at all, because everyone who runs businesses or owns property is so rich they are able to self-sustain and ignore any market signals urging them to adjust prices.

None of the free market capitalist tenets actually work the way they're described, and there's a growing proportion of the population realizing this finally. It's just unfortunate they're being steered towards communism because the communists are currently the loudest opponents of this absurd system built on lies.

How is it good for China to destroy Bitcoin?
This question does not recognize China has over a billion people.

The Chinese government has shut down Bitcoin transactions in China before because it goes counter to their centralized economic control. If uppity insurgents or billionaires who they wish to punish (e.g. Jack Ma) are heavily invested in Bitcoin, they may want to crash it. Alternatively, it may be seen as a way of people to launder money outside of China and their control. Maybe just want to throw other financial markets into chaos.

Why would the miners cooperate? I can think of 7.62 reasons why.
Right, in that case I'm in agreement, if the employee didn't deliver what was expected because they didn't understand (or weren't convinced with) the manager's vision, then that's most likely the fault of the manager's communication.

Chuck is especially critical of the San Jose Mercury News, which he believes have exploited his privacy by publicizing the value of his stock options with a characterization of his face. “That may or may not be right for football and baseball players, but I don’t understand why an industrialist like myself needs to be put in that position. I don’t see how the public is served by having that kind of exposure,” he said. He wonders if such media coverage played a role in the kidnappers selecting him.
