Except there's no point I can recall in the history of strategic policymaking where anyone has concluded "yes, having our manufacturing base be outsourced to foreign powers is a sensible decision with no serious impacts on the actual or expected availability of defense capability".

This is pretty much an obvious problem: if you don't have your own arms facilities, then you've got a problem. If the facilities aren't across a land border but across an ocean, then you've got a bigger problem. And if you can't reasonably expect to be able to expand capacity by internal policymaking ("we need to open 5 more factories") then you've got an even bigger problem.
I think it would be nice to have a Chinese style removable battery that you can drive to a station and they'll swap it out with a fully charged one. Say enough to give you 50 miles of range and get you home.
> having a strong consistent supply increased demand

This is a very pronounced effect across all sectors of the economy. It's really not that surprising. It's similar to the old traffic engineering adage that expanding highways expands traffic in equal measure - such that it is often futile to add extra lanes to existing congested roads.

When something becomes cheaper/easier to use, demand often rises to the point that the new equilibrium is similar to the old one, as new opportunities open up to use X product that were previously unexplored due to constrained supply

Let's hope it's not something laughably simple as adding indexes to their tables! I mean, that's like something I'd forget and I don't even play a DBA on TV
Seems like it might be possible to add WebRTC(or some other peer-based live system, I don't know the performance characteristics of WebRTC) to get realtime writes. Those edits would then be added to the WAL, and every say, 10 minutes anyone who has been active for 10 minutes could checkpoint and push the changes to github.

It's slightly more centralized than perfect, but man do you get a lot for a little.
Can you elaborate? I was recently thinking similar to what the article mentions and wonder about differences?
You basically use one single anecdote while YouTube has literally made more millionaires among independent content creator than mainstream TV did in all its existence. The reason they can produce the content they do is that they can take have copyright protecting their work. The notion that copyright is "a tool for oppression of any form of self-expression" is false just on its face.

And if it weren't for for copyright most of programmers wouldn't have a decent salary and open source projects would have less protection.

There are certainly reforms needed in IP, but abolishing it completely is just throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
I have a friend who used to travel to a remote region of Ghana pretty regularly. After the first couple of trips she concluded that it was better to just risk/get malaria, and treat it afterwards, than to take the prophylaxis drugs. At least for her, the side effects of the drugs were worse than those of actually getting the disease!
Why can I not upvote this more than once!
I usually see it when people are comparing two tools and can't come to an agreement. In that context, I feel it ends up being tautological in a way that stops people from digging into the real differences that make something the right or wrong tool.
Electricity where I live is about 13¢/kWh residential, but large property owners may pay commercial rates for their garages which is cheaper.

In large cities, a parking space in a garage is about $150/month. So still much more than electricity.

And I don’t think people would drive a lot more if electricity was free versus 13¢/kWh. At that point, electricity cost is a small part of the cost of driving.

Highly patented!
> Wanna explain to me why? From what I've seen, a driverless cars within the next 10 years is feasible, and a driverless car within the next 20 years seems likely.

Weren’t they saying the same thing 10 years ago. As an example this Google video is just a little over 10 year old:

Driverless cars are a classic example of last 10% taking 90% of the time.
Ask HN: What is the best resume you have ever seen?
Of course the question is subjective, but what is the "best" resume you've ever seen, for whatever criteria "best" means for you. For any kind of position or job.
Taproot is essential as it will enable “scriptless scripts” which means transactions can accomplish complex code without appearing any different from normal transactions. Use cases include better mixers, cross-chain atomic swaps, and more efficient transactions.
Also .mp4 files. The format is designed for seekability, and browsers take advantage of this.
The inflation rate is increasing in the chart even though the article claims it is decreasing.
This article states downright untrue information about bitcoin:

False: "Everyone in the crypto world believed that this virtual coin would one day change how we use money. It will free us from governments and banks’ control over our financial system. But that goal no longer exists in the crypto world."

False: "The circulation number [of bitcoin] is not enough."

False: "As of this moment, Bitcoin mining is not profitable anymore, including the Bitcoin rewards."

I'm sure there is a lawyer somewhere that is counting their percentage from when they win the rain maker of cases that takes the industry down on this fact alone. If only Grisham would write that novel.
> I want my taxes to be automatically by some computer without having to deal with a human that's more prone to errors.

This is already in progress in New Zealand. The government simplified taxation rules and everything is fairly automated now, the payments and the end-of-year. I got an email this year from our IRD (≈IRS) telling me that my annual tax return was already completed by them (electronically) and I just needed to login to confirm/authorise it.
> A lack of a colon is clearly an oversight.

You mean {"k"}? That's PostgreSQL array syntax, not JSON. It's correct. ('{"k"}' could also be written ARRAY['k'].)
Aren't their algorithms all designed to optimize for engagement? Isn't engagement just the measure of how much time you spend on and interacting with their system? Doesn't that mean that they're not deciding what to keep feeding us, but rather that we are?

It seems like what they've done is basically automate, "Give the people what they want.", as it were. We produce the clickbait, we click on the clickbait, then we get fed more and more of what we click on.

I tend to think that this probably boils down to rent-seeking via exploiting self-destructive human behavior/biology, so I'm not too fond of it for those reasons. But, that doesn't seem very much like Facebook censoring things as it does them feeding everyone exactly what people indicate to them with their clicks and comments they'd like to be fed.

I suppose there's an interesting discussion about what lengths companies like Facebook should go to save people from themselves, but to me they're basically another form of vice monetization like cigarettes, alcohol, etc.
Brave post! Seems whenever you imply on HN that developers should follow some code of ethics, and be held responsible for the ethical impact of the systems they make, people look at you like you have a horn growing out of your head. “But what if my manager TOLD me to write that evil code??” “Hey, I’m not making the requirements, I just implement them!” According to a lot of replies you will get, we are just helpless developer drones, with no say in what we are building.
Their argument is that the rate of inflation itself goes down over time. But then they claim that makes the coin "deflationary", which isn't true.
I'm sorry but the things you describe as selling points of the platform are merely byproducts of the argument you are replying to. Every gated and hyped community that gets a touch of the right people talking about it will feel very friendly and "high quality" for a while. The circumstance basically postpones the need for moderation.

It's something that was never going to last, and as far as I can see it is already over. Yes I gave Clubhouse an honest try after it was all hyped up at my workplace, what I encountered was overwhelmingly 1) Get rich quick scammers talking about how to get success like "Rich Person XYZ" or 2) Celebrities (of varying degrees) talking to/with their fans (or rather: bathing in their narcissism).

Hardly what I would describe as magical. And from what I can see even this artificial hype is already starting to die.

It is something everyone who ever played the closed beta or alpha versions of an online game before knows, those are cool, friendly and brimming with interesting encounters too while it lasts.
Do you honestly believe the feeling and special community you describe is something that is still around on there or will be still around in a month or two?
Google's captcha is orders of magnitude worse.
Yes, Dogecoin's inflation rate decreases with time and eventually hits zero. The crypto community thinks Dogecoin embarrasses them and it's become cringey watching them react so severely to it. It's a fun thing no more risky or silly than NFTs.
I did not decide if I submit it there yet, but my current, and more common annoyance is with random, unwanted and unneeded items added to my cart sneakily at the end of the checkout process. Edible arrangements, flower places are the worst with this kind of behavior.
What? Who? Apple? Please point me towards apple directly upstreaming code to Linux to support M1. Your comment makes no sense, IMHO.
Imagine you run a community college and want to identify students, but wish to do so in a privacy-preserving manner. Keep in mind you need to identify them from the high schools or other colleges they are transferring from as well as you'll need to identify them to the colleges they transfer to after.

DIDs allow for creating network wide identifiers that can be digitally verified. They work great in conjunction with verifiable credentials. So now you can keep and share records on students using their DID. You can create a unique DID for each student, even a unique id for each record which maps back to the student's DID.

It may not seem like much, but it forms the basis for creating systems where identity can be kept private, even from the individuals administering the system.

The difference being, before there was no paperwork, at all. In such an automated system, the checks, balances and oversight all still exist. They're just invisible to the human eye rather than libertarian style just gone.

Same in asia too - out of money, poor financial forecast and no allocation of funds/resources to build.
>no one is going to be bounced out the door for occasionally straying out of bounds.

1/3 of their workforce couldn't accept that and took the buyout instead. That's why it was important to do it - they valued their politics over their continued employment. It wasn't to purge people based on their politics, it was to purge people who couldn't limit themselves to 'occasionally straying out of bounds' - 1/3 of the company undermining the other 2/3 to push their politics.
I have uBlock Origin installed, and can seem to read the article just fine. Nothing from advertising.com is popping up in the asset list.
I think an extra almost 50% cost for parking would be a pretty big deal.

And most people in apartments aren't paying that much. I am sure for luxury apartments with high rents and parking fees won't notice the difference, but most apartments aren't like that.
Designed for crypto nerds is the wrong way to describe it.

It's designed to be a fundamental building block that can be configured and built on top of in many different ways, some of which will be ease of use for a non technical end user, though that will still take a lot of work.

It might be the case that self custody of coins is just unavoidably hard, and only those willing to go to some abnormal effort can realistically "be their own bank". But no crypto has solved this. Self custody is just intrinsically complicated and riddled with pitfalls.
One reason to use a company like Apple to concentrate your online subscriptions I’d possible - terminate there and it’s done.
I think u block origin displays the blocked urls without the intermediary like advertising.com which you can copy and paste directly in the browser
Then go a step further and get ensemble negotiation bots that aggregate the negotiation providers. Or meta-negotiate the best deal among the negotiation AI providers.

Could you provide an example of server that does not?

AFAIK, Range is supported by all major CDNs, so not supporting it in web server would be a death knell for it's real-world adoption.

This is pretty brilliant.

> Mexican avocados are generally far superior to those from California

Maybe that's true for the ones shipped eastward.

Here in the SF bay area, I find California Hass avocados are superior to those available from Mexico and Peru. They're easy to peel and the flavor is fantastic.
Zero cost to them perhaps. However, those costs often prove quite high for others.

Right now increasing numbers of things are, "works until it doesn't" and that imposes risks and costs to everyone.

Perhaps those get high enough to warrant legislative solutions.
If as a company you have outsourced too much. No good engineer will still want to work for your company.

This is the root of the article. The bell companies got so bad at technology (in part due to outsourcing to every consultant on the planet) that they can’t hire smart engineers.

There are lessons to broader companies too. How many large non-tech corporates learned this the hard way? And in an ironic twist, it appears that IBM (the outsourcer) can’t hire engineers on their own either, so they have to buy the RedHats and Turbonomics of the world.
For apartment complexes, they would just raise the rent for everyone to cover installation, maintenance, service fees, etc. even for the people who didn’t use them, turning them into a profit point.
Yes, it's such an obvious question that's not addressed in the article. I was thinking about why they don't pinch the plastic tube closed at the point where the ink stops being filled. The following statement in one of the patents[1] seems to confirm your explanation:

People still hold dollars even though its inflationary.
>o, just as I wrote, in your opinion not jewish enough to know technicalities.

No, now you're strawmanning. I didn't say 'not jewish enough' - I said there's a difference between people who study the laws 'religiously' and spend huge amounts of time on it, and people who are largely culturally jewish and haven't invested the same time.

It's not a question of 'jewish enough' its a question of time spent acquiring knowledge.

>I had very secular friends friends who read gemara for fun and in order to argue about fine points of religion with religious people.

My bet is even then, they put in less time then someone for whom it guides their entire life and who is interested in studying it.

>Which is most of the time pointless, because unless person learns it they just follow whatever "rabbi of the year/synagogue/etc" says them to do without actually understanding "technicalities" of it.

That's not really how it works.

>What you are doing here, it's just a classic orthodox gatekeeping of Judaism which causes many people completely turn off away from it.

No, what I'm doing is differentiating between different levels of knowledge. People who are jewish are jewish. This has nothing to do with that. There are jewish law experts at the vatican who can probably do a lot better job many orthodox jews. It's a question of knowledge and time spent acquiring knowledge. Knowing the limits of your knowledge and not claiming expertise when you have none is a pretty fundamental character trait to me.

Should colleges report how much graduates make?
Having been on the receiving end of a "How cute", it's extremely condescending and obviously violates HN guidelines. (the entire comment is just a "shallow dismissal")
I’m not the commenter, but I agree.

Inflation shows how much prices have risen in a given year, not how many new dollars are in circulation.

You can measure inflation in the US economy using any currency - gold, USD, BTC.
No need to play devil's advocate.

I agree with you. It's the job of the greeter, regardless of title, to provide anything needed because the candidate is not allowed to wander the halls.

In addition, she should have introduced herself as the manager.

This woman set up a candidate, and then gleefully laughed when they spilled coffee on themself?

Just imagine reversing the roles and hounding a female candidate out of the office for requesting coffee.
When most mathematicians use the world "algebra", they mean abstract algebra. It's not so much a research area in itself but there are many interesting subfields. For example, algebraic geometry is in some sense just the study of solutions of polynomials, but there are algebraic analogues of many interesting geometric notions you encounter in plain old Riemmannian geometry. Then there is algebraic number theory, the studies of modules (generalizations of linear algebra), and then you have questions about representation theory, you can ask questions about moduli spaces of curves defined over a field, of vector bundles (or rather "coherent sheaves") defined over a field, classification of m-dimensional algebraic structure up to birational equivalence, resolution of singularities, etc. All of these have purely algebraic analogues and are topics of interest without needing to resort to the real numbers or any analytical techniques. Talking about "algebra" is a bit like talking about "analysis". It's more of a dividing line of techniques than a specific field.
What happens to grain crop production when the Ogallala Aquifer is depleted?

What happens to the “miracle in the desert” in California and Arizona if climate changes significantly reduces snowfall in the Colorado River watershed?

IMO, we face risks that are real, and short term economic forces and incentives will affect our ability to adapt. I live in the Northeast, and it’s important that on a regional basis agriculture is an industry that is vital and can grow.

I am surprised that people still think Cardano is a vaporware. The code is there, the smart contract pioneer program just launched, people are enrolled in it. The Africa deals are there. The NFT capability and NativeToken capability is there. What is vaporware about it? There are easier ways to scam people than just building those stuffs out.

And yet we laugh on flat Earthers. Look at what I found here.

> These thickeners can range from particulate silica, alumina, titanium dioxide, or even powdered clay.

If it were any of those, I imagine the stopper would be hazy, unless the refractive index of the matrix were very close to the aggregate. Curiosity abounds, the mind boggles.

Might be a silicone (polydimethylsiloxane) based grease, with various silicone oxides and/or polymers as thickeners. Now I wanna take one apart.

It’s really a disease. I see a lot of conversation about falsities flying around on Twitter and Facebook, but Netflix documentaries are extremely bad. Even the super famous Tiger one when the pandemic started was extremely lopsided and omitted tons of context and facts.
Rules were made to be broken. In this case, dang themselves has commented on the matter[1]. Complaining about paywalls is off topic and discouraged, and linking archives is tolerated.

I disagree with your sentiment vehemently. Firstly, law is not morality; people break the law all the time, every day, at their own discretion. It was made by humans and is not infallible. Secondly, I can’t just do a few GET requests to Netflix and get the full movie, yet this archive.is scraper has no trouble. So I guess it wasn’t very protected to begin with.

The internet giveth, and the internet taketh away. They can get their better protection by not serving full articles publicly. They presumably do not because they would like to eat their cake and have it too with regards to indexing.

This is hugely off topic so apologies but there is a reasonable chance I am not replying beyond this point.

Is that really the problem? When in history did people get their news and information from a large and diverse set of sources?

For as long as there's been national news, it's been dominated by a few headline sources. Before that there were lots of local sources, but nobody was reading the local news from both Connecticut and Colorado.

I don't know what the difference is today. Maybe there isn't a difference, we just prioritise modern problems over the same problems in ages past. But I really don't think the answer is a narrowing of sources, unless your point of comparison is something like fifteen years ago, for the small subset of the population who were mostly getting their news online at that point.

I've seen this mentioned before, but what I don't know(and am genuinely asking) is, aren't the transfer fees for bitcoin really high? like, 23 bitcoin? What happens when the transfer fees are orders of magnitude more than the value being transferred?
Because the easiest way to cause significant inflation is to increase money supply? No one really uses doge for anything else, so that seems like a very good proxy. If compared to M1 or M2 doge would actually fare much better.
