A fun question we kick around and model in a financial forum I participate in is, “How much insolvency occurs economy wide for every 100 basis points (1%) the Fed increases their interest rate target?”

If interest rates go up, real estate and equities prices come down, and US gov borrowing costs increase. Borrowing costs go up for zombie firms and they fail. How much appetite is there for any of that? The same as long term central back interest rate policy: zero.

So basically people in the US voted for higher prices, so that they can keep their job that can't compete on international markets, and they got what they voted for.

How the N-Word Became Unsayable
Ride share companies have absolutely been game changing. Even traditional taxis - as static and entrenched an industry as there ever was - eventually had to start playing the new game with their own apps. You are conflating the very real problems they solved with the dubious way they solved them.
Planned obsolescence != suboptimal life expectancy

On the left hand, you make design choices with the goal of limiting the life expectancy of the product, and on the right hand, you just don't prioritise life expectancy over other considerations when making said choices.

Of course the line is thin and the complexity of design trade-offs in all directions makes it pretty hard to pinpoint where evil actually happened... which is why the "right to repair" is so complicated in terms of hardware.

Software though is another matter: no-one can claim it's "too difficult" or "too costly" to provide users with the information that will allow them to use their device with the software they want.
We inherited them a while back. We also just started the decom process. I would say that all in, its just a glorified ELK stack (the advanced search is a Kibana frontend). They tout their advanced AI/ML/Maths/etc. that is supposed to be the golden ticket to all things security. It is not that at all. We tried and tried to get it to a useful state, even with the help of their engineers, and the tool just couldn't get anything that we didn't already have from our other sources (FW, endpoint, etc.). You can't ingest from other sources so it's not really a SIEM even if they tell you they can. You can't to TLS intercept so you get to rely on IP reputation only. You can't use the dashboard "developed by video game designer" because it's so dang heavy and the graphics come before functionality. I guess I will stop my rant there as its a bit all over the place. TLDR; not a good tool for what you are paying for (or maybe at all). It is perfect for checking a compliance box though, so there is that?

>shared among 4-10 programmers

That sort of thing was common when I was a product manager a couple of decades back. Probably each supported more people than that but they handled a lot of annoying administrivia--albeit as part of much more paper-based manual workflows.
I recently met with a builder who said exactly this: prices are up quite a bit, but he expects they'll be sticky and stay high.

Because it’s literally the opposite. Misattribution is disinformation 101 if you have a solid source you need to protect.

US finds out China severely compromised a system while pretending to be Russia. The US found this out via a compromised Chinese government asset.

They need to fix the system but don’t want to let on they knew it was China and risk compromising their insider knowledge. Best course is to just say, “we found this that looks like Russia and we fixed it”.

There is no reason to assume a public attribution from an intelligence agency is correct. There are far too many reasons for it to be helpful to lie.
For starters, the AppStore is not "good" (from a customer perspective -- it sucks, the search is basically unusable except for exact string matches, and still then it shows you the competitor's ad for almost the whole screen before what you're actually looking for), and I don't even know what "fast" means in this context. Probably not review time, and definitely not "quickness of features" -- it took 5 years just to get demo videos. In reality, the fast/cheap/good thing (while for starters not being some actual "law"), is meant to apply to engineering and not market dynamics.

You seem to have a lot of faith in Apple having performed some secret formula 10 years ago to determine the cheapest price. I guess we don't need free markets for price signals at all! If we all had Apple's formula, we could have a completely government run system that determined the right price for everything. What a wonderful system that would be!

Anyways, I've covered in many other comments how Apple would be better off by allowing alternatives since they'd no longer be forced to balance this fine line of appearing "fair" while "strict":

From: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26796547

> This is one of the tricky parts about AppStore discussions, it's not about being for or against the AppStore. In fact, I wish the AppStore was MUCH pickier about the apps it let in, and I also wish there was an alternative to the AppStore to catch cases that didn't meet that strict bar. Then the AppStore could actually be about curation as opposed to fear-induced isolationism. Then Apple wouldn't have to inadvertently have political side-effects when it disallowed apps like HKMap.live.

> Being on the AppStore could still be advantageous beyond just "either that or you don't get to be on the iPhone at all.” Apple payment processing, iCloud integrations, Family-sharing, etc. could all be tied to being ON the AppStore, so there'd still be a huge incentive to try to ship that way. And side-loading doesn't have to be easy or even on by default.

The bigger issue shouldn't be ramp on up work, but rather, dealing with the time it takes to get paid. The more of a concrete payables policy you have with your clients, the easier that will be.
I’m pretty sure that interest income is taxed, at the federal level, like wage income. In other words, at a higher rate than capital gains.
3b. If want to minimize decision-influencing impacts of the tax make it as broad-based as possible, ex: a consumption tax with no exceptions.
It is true that speculative housing ownership does this, but
the flip side is that many people can't actually afford a house (but can afford rent, eg. due to down payment costs), or don't want to own (moves cities often).

In larger multi-tenant buildings, the average person wouldn't buy, and the landlord provides services, like maintenance (and sometimes in gyms/etc in higher end buildings). Sure those services can be purchased on the free market anyways, but bundling is pretty common in business.

Being "in the game" is a tradeoff. The CEO of Twitter and Facebook undoubtedly wield a lot of power and money. But they're also very high profile individuals because of that power - they have to spend every waking moment making tough judgment calls and answering for their decisions, and they're under constant scrutiny and endless criticism from the public, the media, and all manner of bureaucrats and officials.

Tom managed to hit the sweet-spot of being just successful enough to retire to a life of luxury, while not being so successful that a low-profile lifestyle is impossible.

It would be in the common good if antitrust control were far stronger than it actually is.

If it were up to me, Google would be compelled to provide clearly visible links to other search engines and other Android app stores just as Microsoft was compelled to allow for different browser selection in the past, and Apple would be compelled to do allow different app stores for iOs.
Changes depend on time. Biden is past the early magic 100 days and now members of the house (and 1/3rd the senate) are realizing that they need to prepare for their re-election campaign in less than a year. The longer things go on the more concerned they will be.

The democrats have the government today. The most democrat heavy handed set of bills will ensure that republicans take a veto-proof majority of both houses. Different levels of watered down will have different effects. There is a reasonable chance that no matter what they do they will lose the house next election (even passing bills that the republicans would like to author but wouldn't dare!), but the exact set of laws they pass will have a big effect on both who shows up, and how voters change their votes.
Show HN: Deploying to Cloud Run with Go
This. I've seen several sectors where prices are going up, and everyone always points to narrow causes particular to that sector for prices going up. But everyone seems to ignore the fact that when you add trillions of dollars to the economy one of the most understood results is that it increases inflation.
yes the biggest complaint I have is the no DTS support. A lot of my plex library has DTS audio. I've generally been able to avoid it now, but it took me by surprise the first time my file had no audio.
First, congrats on the launch! Glad to see more products in this space. Now, some questions :)

I've looked at many of the attempts similar to this over the years and while you hear "you don't need to know how to operate K8S" you are in fact operating K8S and when there's a problem suddenly all this complexity is revealed. If Heroku has a problem, it's pretty clear where the responsibilities lie, but with this it's your code but my deployment so I'm kind of on the hook. What are your thoughts on that?

How would you compare to something like app platform at Digital Ocean?

Thanks!
I believe the GP was talking about discrete circuitry vs integrated circuits, not so much supporting peripherals.

> But I suspect there are more strategic options.

Some other suggestions things to think about:

* you'll need a significant buffer (bare minimum 4-6mo) to smooth out income variability. If you are on your own, you will probably always have high variability.

* Having an "anchor" contract before you transition would really help - e.g. 6-12mo with enough time committed to cover your basics. This shouldn't be more than max 40% time commitment, or else you won't get anything else done.

* You are going to become a salesperson. Commit to being decent at it.

* Understand what service you are selling and who you are targeting. You could have a high value, short engagement consulting business where you mostly talk to execs, you could have a higher volume (hours), lower cost, longer engagement business where you mostly provide bandwidth or experience variability to engineering managers. These are not the same business; trying to do both will probably fail.

* pricing is a signal. It's also hard to change.

* billing hourly is easier for you and them at first, but will put you in a box. billing by value will bring in a lot more $ assuming you can a) sell it and b) deliver

* what work you accept and don't accept is also a strong signal, but in the early days there is a tendency to take anything that comes along when you need revenue. Be careful not to pigeonhole yourself this way.

* cashflow issues will surprise you. If you are billing large orgs (especially public sector) you may have no choice on payment terms (but you will get paid). Outside of that, decide some you can live with and communicate very clearly. Net-15 or Net-30 with a proper discount will help you on flow.
> it requires no trusted 3rd party

Or, at least not the same 3rd parties. Instead, it requires trusting a much larger host of other 3rd parties, many of which are anonymous, and likely none of which will provide recourse if you lose your bitcoin due to their failure or malicious intent.[1]

Bitcoin represents a shifting of trust; not an elimination of trust. That's not to say there is no value. It's just that there are significant risks involving trust that are overlooked by most holders.

> Correct. The national median income is insufficient to purchase a home in the most expensive cities in the country. That seems reasonable?

It's not clear if the GP was referring to national median income. My interpretation was that they may have been referring to local median income. Is the median family income of SF ($136k, I think) enough to buy a home there?
Running from home IP sucks for other reasons too, like non-static IP addresses, or lack of public IPv4/use of CGNAT.

I certainly would not risk my emails being delivered to someone else's computer just because IP address changed, and DNS still points to the previous one.

But having the server and data at home is still possible via VPN.
investment happens when you have positive-npv projects to invest in, regardless of tax rate (and a smooth, even tax squeezes out distortions that might otherwise redirect investment into unproductive assets). a tax might affect investments at the margin, but not in an environment where there is excess capital looking for return (e.g., the current stock market).
> VC model that American startups operate under?

Because it’s not tax payer money being squandered. How is that so hard to grasp?

Rich people run out of money making stupid bets. The federal government does not.
Not exactly. The better counter-argument is more broad than that in that it isn't limited to investments but instead any kind of transaction and that quantity of transactions is more important that they size of transactions. This can be argued either way for the point of economics.

For the point of something more practical, like taxation, it doesn't matter if the primary means of taxation isn't based upon transaction frequency. The primary means of tax revenue in the US is income tax, which has no bearing on any transactions.
> Some are but many are not

The more correct summary of the situation is, "some are not, but many are."
Contexts [1] are not a standard nor Phoenix specific. All my Elixir projects that deal with data have contexts.

Context is the practice of creating a public API for your (database) models, opposite to having your controllers access directly your DB and database objects. Gives you better testability, better isolation, better code architecture.

So instead of (in pseudocode):

def change_password(user_id, new_password):
user = User.db.get(id=user_id, is_active=True)
user.set_password(hash(new_password))
user.save()
send_password_changed_email(user)

render(password_changed.html, user)

you'd do:

def change_password(user_id, new_password):
# The Accounts module hides all the complexity and implementation details
user = Accounts.get_user_by_id(user_id)
Accounts.change_user_password(user, new_password)

render(password_changed.html, user)

That's really just it. It's a best practice which is prominent in the Ecto and Phoenix docs, but not necessarily applicable to those libraries only, or to Elixir only in fact.

The market can be manipulated or directed by more than simply consumer choice, e.g. by business incentives of product manufacturers.
Where was a sheet of plywood ever $8? Even a sheet of masonite has been over $8 for years...
Not according to this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/01/20/millennia...

"When baby boomers hit a median age of 35 in 1990, they owned nearly one-third of American real estate by value. In 2019, the millennial generation, with a median age of 31, owned just 4 percent... that gap will probably narrow by the time they see 35. But they’re not likely to reach 30 percent of the housing market — or even the 20 percent attained by the smaller Generation X at the same point in their lives."
What are the specs on this "sheet of plywood" that was $8 any time within the past decade? Maybe some crappy OSB? Or one of those precut 2x2 panels?
It's weird how you read me describing the decisions of the market and attribute them to my opinion/preferences.

Paying for things using a payment card creates records associated with you and requires the permission of third parties.
Unlike capital equipment a business doesn’t pay for the cost of replacing labor as it ages. The cost in the US of raising a child is about $250,000 or about $3 per hour over 40 years. Businesses expect a pool of qualified and educated labor but don’t pay for childcare expenses.

Employees are expected to have reliable transportation to get to the employers place of business but they do not cover transportation expenses. The cost of $400 a month for reliable transportation works out to $2.50 per hour.

Employees are typically required to have work appropriate clothing. In the US this cost has often been pushed to employees. In some cases even tool costs have been pushed to employees.

Employees have wear and tear on joints due to repetitive movements which will eventually have to be treated. Machines need maintenance and businesses are expected to pay the costs but with labor that is pushed back to the employee.

The economics of minimum wage only work short term for people who are young, healthy and with no children where experience gained will lead to a higher paying job in the near future.
Charge an immediate $1k late fee plus 10% interest per month (accruing daily from due date +1) on unpaid balances. This isn't usury because it isn't a loan.

Put this plainly in the contract they agree to and sign up front before the work. Refuse to do business with anyone who pushes back on the late fee or late payment interest rate. This is a huge red flag.

Make sure you have a lawsuit loser pays for both lawyers clause in the contract.

Never quote without a discount (min 15% with 30-50% permissible) and have a clause that discounts are void on late payment.

14 day payment terms in the contract.

Don't accept checks. Specify wire and exclude checks in the contract. No "the check's in the mail" bullshit.

Here’s a few how to style sites that I’ve found useful for everything from small things to big projects:

These are general things that might seem too basic but there are some gems in there. Everyone, even really experienced users, can have gaps in their knowledge of basics:

Julie Evans doesn’t right just about Linux but when she writes a how-to she really puts the time in to do it well:
https://jvns.ca/

DigitalOcean has the best set of how-to docs I know of for a web hosting company:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials

I have less experience with them but Linode seems to do a good job on how to docs too:
https://www.linode.com/resources/

And there’s man pages and the like, too, but man pages can be a bit cumbersome for learning more than some options and basic use of a command.

Any other sites that people think are best for Linux in general, specialized areas like shells and scripting, distro specific sites, etc.? I’d save those sites and return to them first then do a web search if not enough there.
People have different definitions of "affordable." To me, a gross $65,000 household income, less after taxes, is not enough to be able to afford a home within that price range. It's probably closer to below $275,000.

I do agree with you regarding location, though.
The file sizes quoted should be for the resolution of image actually displayed. It would be fine to say a 960x540 image is X bytes with AVIF and Y bytes with JPEG and let viewers judge for themselves whether the two look equivalent. What that page actually does is quote the file sizes for 1920x1080 images, but shrink them to 960x540 before letting viewers compare the compression quality.
