I agree with you except I don't think it's that binary. There's a lot of hiring going on at YC startups, so "everyone now knows and agrees on this take" is a considerable overstatement.

Here's where I do agree: (1) the impact of FAANG compensation is enormous, to such an extent that a lot of people (including on HN) simply refuse to believe what they hear about it, because it breaks their model of the world—even though those things are often true; (2) startups need to adjust to this. I've felt for years that the equity shift that took place from investors to founders needs to be followed up with a comparable shift in favor of early employees.

On the other hand: while this shift has been happening somewhat, it's surprising to me that it hasn't taken deeper hold yet, which makes me wonder what I'm missing. I would have thought, and it sounds like you think so too, that startups have little choice but to make this shift quickly or die from starvation for top talent. It's not playing out that way. Startups continue to thrive, even though there haven't been massive structural changes yet. (I'm looking at it through YC-colored glasses, which is a privileged position, but not one that's so dissociated from the larger ecosystem as to change this point.) It may not be thriving to the extent that FAANG is, with some exceptions—but that's because nothing is.

Bert for Query Expansion in Information Retrieval
The great security against a gradual concentration of the several powers in the same department, consists in giving to those who administer each department the necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others. The provision for defense must in this, as in all other cases, be made commensurate to the danger of attack. Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions. - James Madison

No. It's a problem of excessively-corrupt, under-regulation of individual greed that only a professional, more "angelic," functional, legitimate, ethical, and sensible human social structure (government) can and must limit fairly to prevent a few individuals from hoarding treasure and destroying others. When a few rich individuals effectively own the government in all but name, they own enough power to make it do their bidding and block anyone else from challenging them. They will never relinquish such power willingly because they "need" it to protect themselves and their greed and entitlement makes them believe it's theirs alone. Revolutionary communism probably isn't the answer, but revolutionary sensible something else might be. There is no other way except extremely clever chicanery to remove the influence of billionaires.

Nothing has changed in the principles or human nature; only the culture, fashions, laws, power, technologies, income, and wealth distribution... and especially that nearly all of the controls have failed pertaining to the regulations of gaining and amassing excessive wealth (taxes and such), and purchasing influence (campaign finance reform, etc.). Thankfully, there is not yet an Emperor who decided to not leave after their term, so some controls on power related to government are operating as designed (but for how long?)

Revolutionary communism or similar without full control would simply assassinate one billionaire after another until they understood the message clearly: that their personal survival depends on them returning a large fraction of their looted treasure and all control back to a government independent from corporate influences.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, Apple refuses to make laptop docks for their own "Pro" line of laptops, which means you have to resort to 3rd party docks. And I'm not using cheap docks here. I've tried several $200-$350 Thunderbolt docks and I've had this issue on every single one of them. Meanwhile my significantly older Dell laptop has no issues on any of them. It's hard to give Apple an out on this when they won't even make an overpriced dock that I would still purchase just to retain my sanity and have the ability to easily work on a 3 monitor setup without random reboots.

SpaceX ISS Docking Simulator Autopilot in Elixir
I'll try to explain the terms I think apply here - I'm not an economist but I find the subject very interesting and so read about it a fair amount.

I think what you call "value creation" (growing the total size of the pie) is what economists would call "productivity", and it doesn't include zero-sum wealth capture. The idea that productivity is ultimately what makes a country prosperous and not money or gold I believe dates back to Adam Smith's "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations".

If you look at the shortest intro to modern macroeconomics that I know of [1], productivity is still basically the first thing mentioned.

The opposite of growing the pie is rent-seeking [2] - trying to get a bigger piece for yourself without growing it. Businesses that face a lot of competition have trouble just unilaterally taking a big piece of the pie, so the focus on this is businesses that are monopoly-like (or at least have a lot of market power). I think some of the courtroom arguments in the ongoing Apple vs Epic trial are essentially about value creation vs rent-seeking.

But these two factors tie in to many aspects of public policy - when making projections about the effect of corporate tax rate changes on growth, economists are probably estimating what percent of profits are due to monopoly rent. The reason for doing infrastructure investment is long-run productivity growth. Some countries have implemented a land-value tax because it falls on rent instead of value-creation.

The more I learn about economics, the more I feel that our (economic) problems don't really stem from a lack of effort on the part of economists to understand things - I think the obvious things have usually been considered already (although many things are hard to measure). More often the problem seems to stem from sound economic advice just getting ignored by our political processes.

If they use AGPL, how would they get companies to actually use the software before extorti^w shaming them into paying some money for a product they are licensed to use for free?

Developers: think long and hard about the license that's right for your project before you push out to the world. I can't help but feel that free/open source software has become a lot less altruistic in the era of Github. We gained quantity and quality, but lost something else that's difficult to express: innocence? Not every project needs to be a job/startup/foundation (cue Left-Pad LLC). I daresay, not all projects ought to be monetized, period.
You can track tethers on the blockchain. The ones owned by Tether itself are stored in the treasury account while the rest are mostly held by exchanges. Generally there's not much (<$5B) in the treasury at any time.

Note that in the initial email spurned on by the actions of the company, the concern with them using the paid service to generate a free service is not mentioned at all. Just a sales pitch for a product. He is lucky he even got a response.

A proper email would have directly addressed the concern the author actually had. But he didn't do that. He didn't say "you guys are using my service to provide it to others for free" he said "hey I see you guys use my product, want to buy it?" And then when they didn't he wrote an article about how they're basically stealing from him.

True, stating that they were mercenaries is a big leap that needs further proof (some compensation for their efforts beyond any sense of duty as citizens from extended colonies).

That "background check" service would be a joke, and out of business almost immediately. Let's say it was a lease application. I certainly am giving my real name, previous addresses, real phone number, real email address, real age, etc. So I enter my SSN with an off by one digit (human typing error, oh my) and this "service" doesn't know my real SSN, a list of every other SSN I ever entered, and 300 other data points about me, in a few milliseconds? That is a rather naive view of the personal data industry, at least in the US. Just the targetable list of items Facebook knows about you (whether you have an account or not, shadow accounts and all that) is rather impressive. The shadow data aggregation industry knows tons more, because all the websites and Visa and everybody is sharing behind the scenes. I'm trying to imagine any adult in the US today coming back with an "empty" background check. Maybe the Unabomber, living in a cabin. Normal people, not so much.

Software Carpentry community [1] has a few very good tutorial guides and workshops for those who are new to R. Their main aim is for teaching basic laboratory skills for research computing. Others who are already proficient in R can utilize and adopt these materials for their own training and workshops.

The first guide is for clinical settings, doing data analysis for inflammation in patients who have been given a new treatment for arthritis [2]. Another is a general introduction to R for non-programmers using gapminder data for reproducible scientific analysis [3][4].

Oh noes, a kid brought a banana to school. Call the hazmat team!

Edit: The BER of an average piece of 25% U glass is about 1300 bananas.

If it were possible to extract and enrich K40 from say 100 million bananas, you could kill everyone in the vicinity of it with a LD.

40 lbs box = 120 bananas at $13. So say $0.10 each. For a minimum investment of $10 million USD, you could have enough radioactive K40 to do some damage.. buried in tons of regular potassium that is expensive to enrich. Instead, for $10k / g, one could buy 1 kg of K40... if they could prove it was for a legitimate purpose.
Yes absolutely. From day 0 everyone should already know how to do data modeling and perform migrations. If you don't and call yourself and engineer, you have no business starting a company.

Software Carpentry: Teaching basic lab skills for research computing
Kinda, but I didn't ask for a discussion atm, I stated my opinion of what should be, and re-stated parts of it to make clear what that is.

In order to express a desire for a specific change, you need to have normative ideas. At least a conception of how things should be (or shouldn't). So it comes down to, do you agree that judges should not just handle out death sentences, for starters, without any negative consequence on them if they get them wrong?

But note that if my request was normative (it was), the response: "Because their 'performance' is to perform their part best they can" is even less than a normative statement: it's a tautology.

"relentlessly productive" really resonates with my view of Erlang/OTP. I do Elixir which sits on top of it but that remains.

I think Erlang is an uncommon language in that it seems to be foundationally constructed to build things. The FP isn't a philosophical experiment or a research project so much as a necessity to wrangle state reliably in distributed actors.

It is a language and probably most importantly a runtime/VM that was born out of industry and it has some very powerful properties.

I keep returning to this on beamrad.io, I'm impressed by the pragmatism in Erlang. And I think the also very pragmatic but much more marketing-savy and dev experience-focused Ruby culture feeding into Elixir is a pretty sweet mix.

Pretty much exactly the same here but a little before Elixir came out (might have been easier via Elixir). Erlang itself serves a very niche purpose and occasionally people will try to misuse it. The principles behind its design, however, are readily applicable to a lot of problems related to reliability and scalability.
