The only way to get around these cultural/institutional barriers is to found your own business. I started a pharma company and ran it like a startup (bc it was a startup). Paid decent salaries, worked really hard (literally, one of our contractors complained, “you guys work so hard”). Exited before our phase I/II completed.

A parallel way is to start a company that only does one part, say a software based part. Pharma will pay more for tools that solve their problems than they would pay for a couple of FTEs to solve their problem directly. The problem is your customer may not know how to put your product to use, or even understand its value. So sales is no slam dunk.

I loved my time in the pharma business but was happy to go back to what’s called “tech.” Culturally the life sciences CES are full of some dreadful pathological practices, and I prefer the pathological practices I’m familiar with :-(.
My favorite part of this incredibly bad piece of “journalism” is this one:

“At the time of the announcement, Facebook said the money would be used over the next decade. Construction on the teacher housing has yet to be completed.”

They end the section with that sentence clearly trying to build up some kind of “Facebook cares so little they still haven’t finished it 2 years later” impression which is pretty a pretty scummy way to present a company building a bunch of low income housing in one of the most expensive parts of the world. Two years in the best of times wouldn’t raise eyebrows for a real estate project and the last two years have been some of the worst of times.

(Disclaimer I hate Facebook but hate what journalism has become more).
In what way are those statements supported by a factual basis? What do they mean, specifically?

As a simple factual counterpoint, the distribution of income and wealth varied widely between those periods. Also, the choice of years omits WWI, the Great Depression, and much more.

Again, any basis in fact?

>and a large portion of the population has student debt because of how expensive tuition is.

Student tuition does not fund research (at least in STEM in the US). DARPA, NSF, NIH etc. fund research. Professors at research institutions are to some extent evaluated based on the the size of their research grants.
I really like how the TOTP Yubi Authenticator app works. Just saves my secret to the Yubikey and I can save that secret to multiple keys. Then put a printed copy of the QR-Code in the vault in case I get hit by a bus.

This covers destruction of phone, destruction of office, destruction of Yubikey, destruction of me.

I would like to use U2F, but some companies (looking at you AWS team) only allow 1 MFA method period. And that just doesn't work.

But, also, I was able to find a PDF download through Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=95559247038477495...) -- for whatever reason the HTML link provides me with a "Download PDF" link even when in incognito.
I think Google actually allowed you to just use your phone number to recover your account, so it was effective 1FA. In that case it would be less secure. They might have changed it now though.
Don’t understand these generalizations regarding generations. Makes no sense. I met plenty of open minded “boomers” as well as closed minded millennials. Needless to say, everyone is built and wired different. Every generation has its share of scums but humanity moves forward. Technology moves forward. The world moves forward. All toward equilibrium.

Anarchism is one flavor of libertarianism, but it’s not the only option or even the original one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism

“Libertarianism originated as a form of left-wing politics such as anti-authoritarian and anti-state socialists like anarchists,[6] especially social anarchists,[7] but more generally libertarian communists/Marxists and libertarian socialists.[8][9] These libertarians seek to abolish capitalism and private ownership of the means of production, or else to restrict their purview or effects to usufruct property norms, in favor of common or cooperative ownership and management, viewing private property as a barrier to freedom and liberty.”

That said, anarcho-capitalist still wants the rule of law they just don’t want to call it government. Rothbard's anarcho-capitalist society would operate under a mutually agreed-upon "legal code which would be generally accepted, and which the courts would pledge themselves to follow".[11] This legal code would recognize contracts, private property, self-ownership and tort law in keeping with the non-aggression principle.[11][12]
Epic is certainly not anti-monopoly.

And Apple is actually trashing them in court because of that.

For example Apple lawyer asked if Epic would have accepted a deal where Apple maintained the current ecosystem but let Epic have an exception... Epic said yes.

At another point Apple asked difference between them, Xbox, Switch, etc..., Epic said that because consoles are sold at loss they having a monopoly is fine... so that is a bad argument if you are trying to prove you are anti-monopoly.

And this goes on and on...

Then there is the fact Epic paid 1 billion USD to developers not sell in other stores, including in some cases to break contracts to do so (for example kickstarted games, that promised Steam delivery, and then told the people that paid them that it would be Epic only and there would be no refunds).
Before Amazon, if I needed a specific electronic component, my options were Radio shack or a specialist hobby shop. Both were incredibly expensive and often didn't have what I need. Ebay and Amazon have been an absolute game changer and I'll be happy if I never have to set foot in a hobby shop again, which anecdotally had grumpy staff that seemed annoyed by my presence.

We can restore the post but I'm not sure what an accurate title would be. What are some options for an accurate title? (Edit: I've pinched tyingq's from upthread for now.)

"I sell onions on the internet" is a fine HN title; it's unusual and intriguing without being overly sensational. "How I made $XXX per year" is not a good HN title; it's extremely common and $sensational $dollars are $sensational. But don't worry—it's far more important that the article itself be good!

> Good question. I think all ages have some decadence in them, but it depends on how widespread and to what degree.

For most of history that is probably an unanswerable question. There aren't any archaeological or forensic methods I know to statistically count sin.

Decadence, like most subjective qualities we try to give history are unscientific and in my opinion should be ignored.

Edit: Also, the sixties were a time of rising drug use, riots, political assassination, teenage pregnancy, prostitution and murder. It's one of the few times we can say with some certainty was worse than now.
> Fourth, at the risk of offending HN folks who self-servingly believe everyone wants or needs side-loading apps, most people benefit from the filtering of apps. Side-loading and unrestricted third party payments would simply be another attack vector.

Yes, but those people can still stick with the App Store. That's not a good reason to take that freedom away from others.
In my personal opinion it's not very advisable to run binaries "from somewhere". Some views regarding flatpak: https://www.flatkill.org/2020

I can't really do that in windows.

I realized how great Aws and co was when I took over the tech lead on a small startup.

That well defined setup with load balancer, multiple VMS, snapshotting as backup, von/ipsec and vlan was something I couldn't have build and maintained by myself and doing other things 15 years ago without cloud.

The worst is that a lot of "specialized" people are actually not experts at all. They are just there as support person's.

From 3 DB admins one was really good and the other 2 sucked (other company again). The one you never saw comes to you, starts thing on an oracle shell basically blind and does complex things and the other two you tell them what they forgot.

As an admin your job is seldomly to optimize queries etc. But more adding and removing users, configuring backups, playing back backups, upgrading etc.

At least for me it opened up what I can do as a single expert and faster and in better quality.

I would highly recommend normal companies who think they are not an it company (everyone is one today) to run in the cloud only.
It depends what you mean by discoverable: option+mouse action is a pretty standard macOS convention for alternate behavior and “double-click == drag all the way” isn’t unreasonable. The behavior of option+double-click is discoverable by simple composition of these features.

This is still worse than going to amazon and doing a quick search, seeing a ton of different products that satisfy your needs, and reading reviews from people that bought them. Then when you purchase it arrives in a day. Fake reviews aside, this is vastly superior.

It was a kind of weird closing of the circle for me. I'd seen the TV movie (jeez, 1992, my guess was way off for when that came out) as a young teenager (perhaps 13 or 14) and the story stuck with me, but I absolutely could never remember the name. Being pre-Internet (for me, we went online a few years later in our house) there was no easy way to find it again. Then I discovered Le Guin's writings after another TV movie (Lathe of Heaven (2002)) and started reading her fiction works. In 2014, I saw the Ishi books on my girlfriend's (at the time) bookshelf and realized that was the name I had been trying to recall for 20 years. Borrowed them, read them, then found out (because it's non-obvious, Kroeber and Le Guin are not the same name) when doing a bit more research that the author was her mother, and her father was the man who worked with Ishi. It made a lot of her writing (especially the Hainish cycle) more interesting to me as I realized it all possessed this anthropological bent in how it explored the worlds and their peoples.
> BUT, with the new talk of raising taxes on $400k/$200k annual income (depending on whether Biden means family or personal income) treats this couple like they're filthy rich

97th percentile household income is filthy rich.

Now, its true, they are still outside of the capitalist elite — because their cash income comes from work, though they can expect annual gains more than quite a lot of household incomes on their real estate, which will get the same favorable tax treatment when realized as the capitalist elite get on most of their income, so they don't completely miss out on the favors granted to the top.

“I traded short term comfort and affordability off to get a shorter commute and higher expected real estate gains over time, so I have to defer a bit of my ability to live like royalty compared to the vast majority of the country on my stratospheric income” is a pretty weird cry for sympathy; on about half that household income in a slightly less expensive part of suburban California, and also very house-heavy, I'd be ashamed to make that cry myself. That ks some serious entitlement and lack of perspective.

It sounds to me like Amazon is not better at every aspect, you've identified one aspect right there. They are competing on, "Would you rather live in a cookie cutter franchise strip mall or a mom and pop commercial area?"

I don't think we three necessarily disagree; we are alleging that the system causes people to be afraid of intellectual pain by virtue of its structure. Students feel the pain of schooling, in the form of shame and suffering, and assume that that is what intellectual development feels like, and that smart people are simply people who can endure more of it. Compare impersonal mass calisthenics to team sports workouts; both are painful, but the calisthenics are also mind-numbing.

As a college instructor at a community college, you're teaching math to people who likely have spent their whole lives watching other kids easily ace exams that they struggled with, who have never spent any of their genuinely free time doing math, and who just want to be let out of school. They are products of the system.

> Could your need have been satisfied with another product available locally? Was your need for that exact product really only created by browsing online?

You raise wise and excellent questions!

In short, no. My desires were not readily met with things available locally. My need was not for a particular product or model, but for a product from a reasonably general category of things with a couple of attributes. There are a variety of products available in the broader market that would have done it for me, only some of which I was aware of. Talking to an array of local small business owners got me a circular set of pointers to other shops to try.

In your example, imagine going to local hardware stores and finding that none had anything that would meet your needs. They'll happily sell you a selection of hoses and send you to another hardware store that has a fine selection of wrenches, but nothing helpful in meeting your needs.
And then possibly ending up with a counterfeit.
