> give the police temporary access to track it, til they catch the thief and get my stuff back.

I don’t know where you live, but as somebody who previously lived in San Francisco, do you really think the police are going to actively pursue theft claims? It’s why car break-ins and petty theft are out of control in the bay area. The police don’t enforce laws, and certainly don’t actively track down stolen property.

I think we should be going that direction,where a meal in a simple place is expensive enough to support normal wages with benefits and whatnot. Because right now, whenever someone brings up an argument that people don't get paid adequately, there's always the same 'but but the customer won't pay'. We all seem to love to have cheap meals, cheap uber drivers and cheap cleaners, while at the same time expensive office workers, expensive lawyers and doctors. It doesn't need to be so extreme on either side.

Zawi Hawass deserves a lot of criticism for being a fickle, controlling gatekeeper of archeological work in Egypt in his former role as Egyptian Minister of Antiquities. He often seems more interested in glorifying himself and promoting revenue than the scholarly exploration of the past.

That said, he no longer holds any official position with the government. The Ministry of Antiquities has continued some of his bad policy. He still probably has some influence. But the people in this thread seem more upset with his dismissal of crank theories that contradict the consensus chronology established through dendochronology, radiocarbon dating, and correlating written records. Hawass was not responsible for creating this chronology.
Concentrated vs diffuse costs:

Execs and managers have inherently social jobs, so not having everyone in the office is a concentrated pain point for them compared to it being a minor inconvenience for most individual contributors. Conveniently for the execs, they also have concentrated power to decide this for themselves and ICs, whereas ICs have little collective power.

Return to normal:

Companies that don't return to office as soon as the pandemic recedes will have a much harder time justifying the move later (see Yahoo!). So if there's a time to dig in and fight, it's right now as the extraordinary situation of the pandemic ends, since whatever policy is in place then will likely stay in place for years after.
That was entirely my point. I was responding to a comment that says we have precedent in accepting % revenue models because Visa has one. I'm pointing out to them that in finance, percentage of dollar amount is normal and orthogonal to the App Store model.
I think the problem may be that many companies increase their prices to whatever the traffic will handle for needed items. For example, the $600 cost of epi pens.

"$100 in 1980 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $321.45 today, an increase of $221.45 over 41 years" - Source:https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1980
This is a 68.89% decrease in spending power.

For comparison, the minimum wage in 1980 was $3.10, and minimum wage today is $7.25, and increase of 233.87%.

By rights the minimum wage should be able to keep up, with that big of a disparity. The problem is that purchasing power figure takes into account an average over all things. The ten cheapest cars in 1980 all had a base price under $5k (source: https://blog.consumerguide.com/cheapest-american-cars-1980/). Then ten cheapest cars in 2020 were, other than 1 exception, all below $17k (source: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g29414710/10-cheapest-...). That's a decrease in spending power for cars of ~70%.

For median family single home in 1980, $55k. In 2020, $300k. (source: https://dqydj.com/historical-home-prices/). A decrease in spending power of 86%.

The majority of the US is facing a huge discrepancy in the decrease of spending power amongst big ticket items, the increasing lease-economy, and unprecedented debt. There is also a sense of entitlement at avoid certain menial jobs in some. As a result a $7.25 minimum wage is not going to cut it, as that's only $14.5k per year, well below the poverty line of $26.2k for a 4 person household (2020). Double it to $15k/hr and you still are just barely above the poverty line, forcing both parents to work full time, or one parent to work two jobs.
I completely disagree. I have a Roku-powered TV, Amazon FireTV, Chromecast Ultra, and have used quite a lot of "smart TV" interfaces. They all suck compared to KDE + VLC + Firefox (with uBlock Origin). Smart TV/device interfaces aren't even in the same league!

Example: By the time the Netflix app is open in Roku I will have already found the show and have it playing on my Linux desktop in Firefox.

Not only that but the apps are severely limited in functionality compared to what you get on the websites for the same provider. Even just scrolling through shows/movies is a bazillion times faster and good luck trying to find a specific place in the middle of a show using a regular remote control! haha. With a mouse I can just click right in the middle of that progress bar and be done.

Then there's things like Funimation: Their apps all suck so bad that the website seems like a dream in comparison even though the website is so awful it makes web developers visibly gag. The benefit the computer has is that it's trivial to load up those same shows on pirate sites when Funmation stops loading/playing videos again (on any given day you could have about a 5% chance of a Funimation video actually playing).
As many other comments have mentioned here, the mechanical community keyboard is mostly focused on aesthetics (visual, audio, and tactile) over functionality.

Regardless, I've been able to build far more functional keyboards because of the community. I'm not aware of a single commercial device that has all of: ortholinearity, concavity, tenting, split halves, and thumb clusters - let alone the ridiculous features of qmk[1], all of which provide ergonomic value (at least in theory) - and I was only able to construct this keyboard because of the efforts of the mechanical keyboard folks. I'm not complaining (:

Do you think that would last? I know I wouldn't be able to sit on my ass and just play video games for very long, even if I got paid or won the lotto, or whatever. My wife wouldn't either (though, we tend to marry our equal - or I hope we do). I'm generally curious as to what percentage of the population would actually sit for their entire lifetime and be stoned, play video games and make nothing for the long term. I realized that there is a percentage that would do this, but do you think it would really be that large? Are my friends group that skewed of a sample?

> like working in an Amazon warehouse....

They (humans in Amazon warehouse) too are being replaced by robots. Not sure how many people know that Amazon has a robotics division [1]

Like any modern corporation, Amazon is continuously looking to reduce cost and warehouse automation is the next obvious place, by automating most of pick/pack work.

Even in shop experience is getting massively disrupted. At the one end of the spectrum there are self checkout kiosks that are super convenient and popular in the Netherlands and at the other end Amazon Go and similar with zero or minimal personnel running a shop.

These types of jobs are popular among middle to just below middle class youth (high school goers) in order to earn a few bucks and reduce financial burden on their parents. With these jobs getting automated, at least in the developed world, I wonder what’ll be those stepping stone type of jobs which are low on skill that need manual labor.

I'd second this. Too many developer-facing products focus on the call to action being to curl-bash something, without showing them what it is.

Showing off the product with clear screenshots is a real differentiator for me - I can understand far more quickly what you're offering from that visual.

Making that interactive (in a minimal sense) would be a great next step - demo accounts are nice, but a working demo in the actual page itself would be really powerful - someone looking at the screenshot wondering if it has X option can click it and see for themselves.
Right, the percentage of Apple's cut isn't the key part of this EU case.

Certainly doesn't help that it's the current 30% but it being 15% won't change the fundamental issues being argued - whether Apple is abusing its market power and shutting competitors out of or subjecting them to unfair practices in its iOS ecosystem. E.g. unfairly favoring its own Music app.

I think it's a fairly straightforward case similar to Microsoft's antitrust case for bundling the Internet Explorer in its Windows OS a couple of decades ago. The argument then was that Microsoft favored its own browser and crowded out viable competitors like Netscape. If anything, the case is more obvious here since you can't even install any other music streaming alternatives on your iPhone if it's not in the App Store - in Windows you could download and install another browser (even if most users didn't).
Microsoft has pretty much solved this with WSL/WSL2. I hate the obsessive stalking and much of the redesign of Windows 10, but at it's core, it's better for many general consumers.

As a developer, I run into Windows' superior dealing with low-memory situations quite often. My work dev machine has 16GiB of RAM, but my full-stack development work is pushing my system past the 16GiB mark easily now. Coworkers using Windows have similar problems, but their system slows down whereas mine completely freezes for 30 seconds at a time while the system struggles to find some free memory.

For the people who would tell me to "just get more RAM": it's out of my hands, and 16GiB should be more than enough for this type of work anyway. Most software written these days, especially tools aimed at developers, seems to think everyone has 128GiB of RAM and that bad memory handling can best be solved by buying more hardware.

With Gnome 40 and systemd 248, the Linux experience will become just a tad more friendly for both general users and developers, but there's a lot of improvement that can still be made to the Linux experience.

Oh, the stones will survive. It's just that nobody will care about those particular stones.

And your observation about the long term effects of our actions (which themselves are accelerating in frequency and impact) on climate, the world in general and human structures and concepts is spot on, it is a special kind of delusional that declaring a couple of stones special will have a long term effect on those particular stones. At the same time, it did lead to some interesting insights so in a way the value has already been delivered, even if the stones are lost tomorrow.
The tax case takes so long because they have a participating government on their side, and it’s far to be clear cut on a legal perspective. The app store issue is in many respects simpler.
Branded phones have been a thing for a very long time, and not enough people are interested in them to make any of them successful.

When I was born all electric and electronic appliances came with a complete diagram in the box. I don't understand how disclosing the schematic has any negative impact of any sort.

Why are you surprised? This is the common pattern of tech activism: start with a kernel of a legitimate grievance, grow it into a whole crop of outrage, and harvest that outrage to make new rules that actually make everything a bit worse.

Designing for repairability has costs both monetary and functional. Why should everyone have to pay these costs on the say-so of a few people whose main claim to legitimate authority is their social media follower count?

I believe this push for repairability is bad and that it will lead to bad outcomes for consumers. The market ought to be what tells us what product features are really important.
but much of that temporary.
I love the short term thinking here.

They won't immediately abandon ship once we force them back to the salt mines, so there's no problem.

Even if they come back if the resent the company for economically forcing them back that isn't a good situation for morale or productivity or retention.
The domain signing with DKIM still doesn't get you a valid IP reputation. It may help to gradually build one if it's the same IP over and over, but it's still a brand new IP suddenly sending mail from $domain. If it weren't an amazon IP it'd certainly get refused or at least marked as spam and hidden after acceptance.

Just another example of one set of rules for human people and another for corporate people. Either pledge yourself to a corporate feudal lord (amazon here) or suffer.
Same. I have no idea what the joke is.
People almost only talk about the missing features on Safari and while that's true that they are blockers in some areas (like PWA for instance, that's not a coincidence...), the main issue for me is that Safari is a very buggy browser engine. It's hard to emphasis how a massive amount of small details aren't right at all, you will encounter Safari bugs even on a basic website.

Safari feels like it's in "maintenance mode" at best.

> Instead, pick a book or a course that teaches ~100 well represented problems. And don't pick a book or course that has only problems. Pick something that teaches you to think about them.

The site doesn't actually list any books or courses that do this. It just states that bouncing around is bad in https://leetcodetherapy.com/interview-prep-today, but it gives no specifics for the right way of doing it. Maybe the reason that guy is bouncing around is that there IS no resource that steps through "100 well represented problems."
Yeah, was there some thought behind that or did you just pick a number that sounded nice?
Flip the question around and ask yourself: How would you start teaching someone else about the most complicated topics in your wheelhouse?

The answer is almost always to start with the basics. Trying to shortcut past the introductory level topics and skip straight to the hard stuff results in a lot of pseudoscience and false understandings.

Realistically, no one is going to understand cutting edge neuroscience or quantum mechanics by reading pop-science articles. If something looks interesting, pick introductory texts in that field and start working your way up.
Apple Pay IS Apple. In app purchases are also subject to their % cut.
Who knows? Maybe intelligence can be tied to handedness, gingerness (heaven forbid!), or body symmetry. A tricky thing to measure given difficulties in testing, lack of twin studies, and the like.

Admittedly it would be interesting to take a million people, give them various sorts of cognitive tests, do a DNA sample, feed in biographical details, and let 'er rip on a big ol' computer. There might be outrage and a need to twiddle knobs on the AI or there might be nothing noteworthy. Some Chinese researcher will let us know soon enough.

> so it creates a disincentive to work

This framing can make it come off as though the wages were fair to begin with. The consensus seems to be that they were never fair. And people in the US are largely tired of the government giving handouts to businesses over people. It's time for those who reaped disproportional benefits over the past 40 years to eat some costs instead.
Sorry, have you seen on the internet? There is no requirement of professionalism: write a catchy title, get people to read what you had to say.

HN isn't an academic publishing track, it's a reflection of what the world actually posts on the internet. You're free to not like the titles some people use to get eyeballs on their content, but this was clearly not clickbait warranting removal, and it's certainly not HN's job to police page titles on the wider web: we just upvote the cool content, and if enough people like it, it hits the front page.

So really, you're complaining that not enough people on HN mind catchy titles enough to downvote a post based on its cover, rather than the book it links to =)
> It's a big clear fault line that regulators can see from outer space

Nothing in the world of regulation is a clear fault line. You're just creating different points for regulators and lawyers to fight about. How are you defining "market power in any market?" Is it just if a company gets 20% of a market? 50%? 70%? 90%?

This also gets extremely sticky in markets that are still developing.

Take Saas for example. Mailchimp arguably has "market power" in email marketing (70%). Should they have been allowed to get into the social post scheduling business? Using your argument, you could call that unfair competition for social post schedulers like Buffer, since Mailchimp already holds market power over one area of the marketing stack.

But what if it's more efficient for all businesses to keep their email marketing and social post scheduling in one tool? Are you going to force everybody to be inefficient and use separate tools for everything because you think it's better the for the "social media management Saas" market?

Should that even be a market? How granular are you going to get over what's a market and what's just a product feature? Social post scheduling is both a feature, and a market of companies. This solves nothing and only creates more micromanagement headaches for regulators.
The market appears to be subexponential, which is a worse class of distributions than the exponential. Just as a technical note.
I haven't had any lag issues with it and my HTPC is running a 12-year-old processor with a 10-year-old AMD GPU. Maybe it's an Intel or Nvidia driver issue?

I'm running KDE and have it configured to disable the compositor when an app goes full screen. Maybe that's your issue? Try turning off desktop effects and screwing around with your compositor settings.

Edit: I want to point out that since my GPU can't handle 4k the desktop resolution is limited to ~2k (whatever the highest was that it can handle at 60Hz--I forget now haha).
How do you "miss" 10 days?

Unless you are a day trader (aka gambler), "normal person investing" is about trickling cash into an account slowly over time into low-cost funds/etfs, covering the grid, and pretty much never selling until retirement. Maybe a rebalance here or there over the decades, but you're never "out" unless you're paranoid and liquidate into a cash position, but refer to point A.

This is the strategy myself and many of my college friends took when we graduated in the late 80's. And we're all pretty comfy right now. We had a few buds that went all day-trader and they lost their shirts, with one and only one exception.
