> What if they put that money into better technical education facilities, or tax credits for Ohio residents paying off student loans. Increasing services so that people working remotely will want to come.

Well, a few issues. This is money that has to be collected and spent - more taxes or a change in the budget. Not collecting taxes on new construction isn't money the state has to spend, it's just money it isn't collecting. The alternative, at least in this case is that this factory just isn't built in Ohio. It wouldn't affect doing other things to attract residents. Frankly, I think we should create large-scale corporate subsidies to relocate jobs to the state. If you build your facility or office here, no corporate tax on that entity. More jobs and more money and revenue from other taxes will be enough.

> I feel like a place with a low cost of living that attracts highly talented people for a variety of reasons is a better long term investment than a treadmill factory.

Well, the cost of living isn't all that low, and where it is low no talented person without connections to the state wants to live here. Why live in Ohio when you have the exact same thing almost everywhere else in the country, from Oklahoma to Iowa, to Indiana to Michigan. There aren't many unique reasons to locate a business here, unfortunately. There are plenty of talented people here, though many leave for other locations.

> If I was looking to open a satellite office, I can tell you that proximity to a treadmill factory is pretty low on the list.

Sure, but you're also generally not opening a satellite office here unless you have a very good reason, and that reason would have nothing to do with the existence of a treadmill factory. In other words, Ohio is very low on your list, so if you have a reason for being here it's a very good one that this won't affect.

> Tax breaks like this are tactical, state and city governments need to be strategic. While tactics like tax breaks can be part of a strategy, it doesn't seem to be a great one since it doesn't build "moats", and all it takes to be defeated is the next state over offering something slightly better. Ohio of all places should know that manufacturing facilities can be closed on short notice for reasons they have no control over.

Yes. We should grow a coastline, build some mountains and ski resorts, and have great weather instead.

I agree that state and city governments need to be strategic, but you're paining a mutually exclusive picture where one doesn't exist.

Personally I think the only thing we can do is create walkable neighborhoods with mixed-use development - make Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and other towns and cities more like places in Europe where people would actually want to live. Otherwise Ohio is pretty indistinguishable from most of the country.
This is already happening[1] to smaller creators, and people still buy them because NFTs don't offer any guarantees of authenticity beyond what you'd see on eBay.

The situation in the US with budget airlines is not comparable to Europe. Europe has very strong consumer protections.

From just a small percentage of cancelled Ryanair/WizzAir flights I am actually not far from all-together free flying after they paid out the compensation.
Do you know what happened to them (and/or some of the other companies/projects/initiatives that launched with the same goals)?
Why I No Longer Use MVC Frameworks (2016)
Two seconds to process a tiny text file enters well into the realm of "completely unusable" in my eyes.

It wouldn't be so bad if the Julia developers acknowledged that this is a valid concern (that they are not dealing with it right now for whatever reasons) and that the ecosystem will not be considered complete until this fundamental problem is solved. But this is infuriatingly not the case. Instead, they tell you that you are "holding it wrong" and that this is not really a problem, that your usage is "niche", that the interpreter is alright as it is, and that the time to first plot is unlikely to ever go below a hundred milliseconds. I find it really depressing for the language itself is incredibly beautiful. My only hope is that an independent, fast and unix-friendly implementation of the language arises, thus freeing the reference implementation of the efficiency burden and allowing it to be simpler. Something like the lua/luajit split.
Sure "testing your code is like flossing", but letting "everything must be isolated from the DB" tie your code in mock-knots is like assuming that you need to get false teeth so they're easier to floss.
We’ll see for how long.

Shopifys success is largely due to the fact that they were willing to do the messy dirty work of making a Ecom CMS that works and doesn’t run on Wordpress.

Tech has changed and is catching up. With stripe handling the hardest part about ecom, other companies will sneak up behind Shopify because of better tech and replace traditional websites

A large investment like this is likely a strategic move.

Perhaps it is a corporate wide move to stop contributing to Linux. Or perhaps they plan on displacing Linux from the computing world.
This. is. going. to. be. HUGE!

Lots of companies Stripe has replaced because of this. I can see new areas of businesses being launched because of how easy Stripe has made it to be paid online, all with no-code!

No more third parties or complex developer integrations or a cut, only get paid with a link with Stripe, That's it!

I welcome this!
I find the clustering approach in A510 very intriguing.

Why run the low power cores in pair? Is this because android _really_ struggles on single core due to the way it was designed? So you basically need two cores even when mostly idle?
A common misunderstanding of NFTs is that they give you some level of legal rights. NFTs do not inherently give you rights. That's why a comparison with a deed is fundamentally flawed. A deed is a legal construct - inherently it gives you ownership. So even if it were sold, without the institutions notarizing the transaction it would not be a valid sale and could be easily reversed by the original owner.

I could sell an NFT to your comment trivially because it doesn't mean anything. You can think of it as the digital equivalent of me taking a screenshot of your comment and selling that - sure it doesn't give the purchaser rights to your comment, but that isn't what was for sale anyway.
I would have paid for YT but they have demonstrated that they will shit all over independent creators, and smear them to justify it, while at the same time prioritizing the mainstream garbage I was trying to avoid by going there.

It is suffering from the problem of social media at large: to be a platform or a curator of content? Moderation is tough and largely unsolved, I get that, but it started as a platform and then it flipped over to heavily curating, effectively abusing their influence they built with the help of little channels.

Independent creators are the future of media (not just social) in my opinion, and I feel YT has betrayed them by constantly siding with mainstream legacy media, and doing so in a sneaky way... they pretended to be fair and after huge global success they flipped and have no problem manipulating the attention of the masses.
This website has been making the rounds on social media for a few days - it's not just a HN sample.

I agree it is still a heavily biased sample though.
Or just convinience.

When the goal is, to support a broad range of devices - and the vast majority of hardware manufactors are not into open hardware - it is probably easier, to convince them of supporting Fuchsia by writing firmware and drivers - if they do not have to deal with the GPL and the kernel driver integration, like it is the case with linux. They just write their driver once against a stable API.

That makes things easier.

And google are not driven by free software ideals - but rather buisness pragmatism. But I don't see this design choice as an attack on free software.
That's one way to get biodiversity, but you can also generate more diverse populations in the lab and plant them in the field. You can also seek out natural reservoirs of variation in the form of wild or land race cultivars, and introduce favorable traits into your elite commercial cultivar. I work in this field. This is where our food supply is going, where it has to go if we are to feed ourselves in a century, when changing conditions mean the crops being planted today will not achieve the same yields in the future.
Agreed, but I think as a principle, I would want YouTube to dictate less on how I can monetize my video. If I am influential and brands want to do product placement with me, it should be upto me.

The ideal scenario is, YT takes a fee like they do with Premium for hosting and discovery. The content creator can choose to take a cut if he wishes or can just do his own monetisation. It is upto him, whether he does no monetisation, puts merchandise links in description or outright shows the product in between a video. YouTube can make other integrations for content creators to monetise but they should have freedom of their own as well.

The good thing about competition is, if some content creator is being obnoxious with promotions or product placement, users can find someone who is doing a better job.

In the past some YouTubers have noted that they get more dollar return from a premium viewer watching their video than an ad one, so content creators can choose to forego on promotional placements and compete on a better experience.

I don't care. Worrying about such long timescales induces a sort of paralysis. The solution to uncertainty about truly fundamental questions of existence is to work on fundamental math and physics, to figure out where matter comes from, whether other dimensions exist and are accessible etc. If you just feel discouraged by the pointlessness of existence, that's just a sort of vertigo or cognitive overload. It's better to pick something you like and scurry around exploring it rather than being stuck in intellectual catatonia. The best cure for this is to engage in something you find physically enjoyable; rebooting your sense of physical autonomy helps to shake off the cognitive paralysis. Go for a walk, jump around to loud music, eat some of your favorite food, or amuse yourself with comical imagery so as to alter your mood. The seeming futility of existence doesn't matter because it's on too large of a scale for you to experience or impact; the feeling that it overrides all other considerations is just a feeling.
I force myself to use the Nebula app, even if if glitches, freezes, the sound is sometimes off, etc. because i suppose that at the very least the number of views is used by content creators, and they probably get paid on that basis.
Well by that logic if you have nothing, there's nothing you can do to it, so you will always have nothing, which reconciles quite nicely with multiplying numbers by 0 resulting in 0.
Did the NAACP have anything to do with this at all? I rather get the impression that it's something WASPs in left-liberal tech companies and news outlets came up with. Which is why I'm surprised seeing this language in The New Yorker.
This way of looking at human suffering might be counter productive:

“oh, those slaves in [country] only cost me 0.03$/year, no big deal.”
Galen’s Prophesy: Extraversion or Introversion
Cities typically don't collect income tax, so their ability to derive revenue from 'job creation' is limited. Especially if the people working those jobs are living/shopping in the next town over.
I think they also got confused with the differences between communism, socialism, social democracy, and democracy. Granted we often conflate these terms but there are differences, especially in authority and where that power lies or who it belongs to. Orwell strikes me as a person who was afraid of authority and how power corrupts, or how quickly it can corrupt. Seems like a good reason to criticize communism. Seems like also a good reason to be afraid of the status quo. But you can also be critical of authority and think some is necessary. I think many for a long time have sought to find the balance of authority and democracy. I don't think anyone has found the solution, if one exists.
Google doesn't control Linux.

I guess a microkernel is pretty cool though, the academic ideal.
NPC is a meme. Your link to urbandictionary is particularly interesting if you look at the contributors history...

NPC left is a term specifically to fuzz anti-progressive animus through 'memeing' language. This type of coded language is a common tactic of white supremacists [0-4]. You may have done it intentionally or not, but it is what it is [0,1,3]. If this is unintentional, you should be aware that that language is created specifically to play with this irony and ambiguity and draw people in while taking a stance that enables everyone involved to claim [4].

I knew I'd probably get flagged for this, and I'm sorry for devolving this thread. A close friend's child was severely maimed as a result of this defect, so when someone with nothing at stake shares an opinion that "nothing is wrong", it struck a nerve. Only sending love.

Edit: This is the first time in over a decade on HN that I've posted an apology and been downvoted for it. Is this kind of followup against site guidelines or discouraged? I'm trying to understand what I've done wrong here. This feels incredibly toxic.

I hate ads. But I do pay. And my views end up being worth about 20x that of a comparable ad view.

Absolutely worth it, given how much entertainment it provides.
I think this is a really funny analysis, and I do agree with the author's conclusions that men tend to overreport and women tend to underreport due to cultural norms.

Here are some non-lying based explanations for the discrepancy:

1. A lot of the surveyed men are non-heterosexual, so there are a lot more edges between men.
2. The survey was not a true random sample, the chaste men and promiscuous women were excluded in the study.
Thanks for responding. I understand it's all about threat modelling but would this necessarily be too much of an issue for a government to gain access to? The will would still describe how to bring all the information together.
Speed, efficiency, and reliability have nothing to do with whether you use a stock or custom UI toolkit.

As an example: the GNOME file picker is computationally inefficient, ergonomically inefficient, and feature-poor. I'd much rather use some third-party developer's superior replacement (if it existed).
Morales was the President of Bolivia. Thought experiment -- if a country like China or Brazil forced Air Force One down to search, how do you think the Americans would react?

It was really rather close to an act of war. There's a reason the Austrians rushed their president out of bed to go have tea with Morales while he waited.
It must have been all those fiery (but mostly peaceful) protests.
One of John Carmack's maxims is "Fight code entropy." As simple as that is it carries a lot of meaning imo.

Neither OP or GP have it right - Fuchsia isn't a "3rd OS", it's a kernel, like Linux, except MIT. Maintenance is most certainly rewarded, at least in the 5 years I've been at Google
> The reason we suggest logging in with your work email is so that you can share shortcuts and completions for internal CLI tools with your team.

I guess I'm still missing something, as I don't get why the domain of my email address is relevant for who I share things with? My (hopefully constructive!) feedback is that by asking specifically for a business mail, you send certain signals to the end user.

Are you honestly saying that emails won't be used for sales purposes? (that might sounds a bit adversarial, but it's a genuine, non-judgemental question!)

Shopify's moat is its ecosystem of developers and apps, for many of the same reasons WordPress still powers 39.5% of all websites in 2021. Shop Pay also provides many of the same benefits of Stripe -- global one-click payment across all their stores and more. I run into Shopify sites while shopping all the time and am always pleasantly surprised that I don't have to fill out anything to check out, it already knows me. Then those orders magically show up in the Shop app on my phone for order status and delivery tracking.

Here's a screenshot. I did not make an account with any of these completely independent websites. Yet I checked out on all of them without typing my address or payment info. And all my orders appear here with tracking.

What... the Epic store is the BIGGEST example of this. It is a shoddy game store compared to Steam and GOG. Epic paid for massive exclusives to make inroads into the PC gaming space and their product is full of dark patterns.
> I think that the issue people are having is that (a large portion of) the content on YT also does sponsorships. Also, 'like and subscribe and bell'. So you might pay for YT, but I don't think that the quality of the service improves that much (say like Spotify).

To expand on what you said, a large proportion of YouTube's content is just clickbaity garbage as well. The whole platform is designed, from the ground-up, as a mechanism to shove intrusive ads in your face. Simply removing the ads and putting in a subscription fee doesn't address a lot of the other noxious effects the ad-centric focus has had on the content environment, the UI, the recommendations, etc.

I would much rather subscribe to the YouTuber offshoot services, like CuriosityStream or Dropout or Nebula. They have a clear offering and the services are designed around a clear subscription model.
This is pretty great, but I think some people are overestimating the significance of this - PayPal.me has existed for a while and it hasn't exactly killed off small payment providers.

Good questions, and I don't know the answers, but it is kind of odd (particularly given the pace of change in other areas of computer tech) that the world's most popular operating system was designed so long ago, and it seems like there is so little going on in this area.

Of course, Apple is hard at work on iOS, but we don't know what sort of under the cover innovations that might good.

So. I'm glad to see something new.
Well, of course, there was the ruling class, the party members. They are quite fond of the good old times when they ruled based on connections, politics and favors.

They hate with a passion the current times when people are able do better themselves and achieve their dreams on their own however they wish and wherever they wish, in freedom.
Exactly right.

I don't actually fully understand what Greenwald is trying to do, here.

This article reads as an attempt to justify the actions of Belarus (as opposed to criticizing the actions of the US and the EU, of which there was certainly no shortage back in 2013), which I find utterly astonishing and makes me further wonder what the heck is going on with Greenwald these days. In the past he never really struck me as an apologist for a dictator, but something has clearly changed.
If not YAML and JINJA, then just normal programming language. Ansible and Terraform are trying so hard to invent a language for describing an infrastructure, but there are already hundreds of programming languages that can do the same thing even better, without so many limitations that HCL, Yaml and Jinja has.
I think the best example is... Epic Store itself. It is full of overpaid-for exclusives and has a huge feature disparity with Steam
Its not my place to do that on hearsay from friend's kids. At best it's up to those friends to do that.
I got premium maybe 6 months ago now and can't imagine going without it, now. I partner it on desktop with SponsorBlock (fantastic free, open source browser add-on) to get rid of the sponsorships for a classic experience. I started contributing time-blocks as well when it hasn't been done for something I watch. If I'm not mistaken the Premium viewers give a better revenue-per-view to producers than just watching with ads which pleases me as well.
The ideal future is Peertube or simply chucking video files on Cloudfront and slapping the standard HTML5 video tags onto a web page. Creators of videos should one their own web presence, letting the internet be distributed as intended instead of siloing large swathes of content in the hands of a few large companies.

If you’re producing videos as a business, depending on a third party to provide a free service, you’re going to have issues sooner or later.
Seems more like an innocent mix-up by the social media PR person, who likely isn't familiar enough with the properties to notice the mixup between Hackaday and Tindie at the end there.

Or they could have been referring to Hackaday.io rather than hackaday.com.
