Ask someone for £3 for a full vehicle check to know if it's been stolen, crashed, written off, still on finance (basically major headaches) is way too much of an ask.

An example that I have is my project that does the above. 300 free checks and 5 premium checks 6 months later, I still scratch my head at how people are scared of buying 2nd hand cars but literally do nothing to protect themselves.

Crypto is exciting.

There is the price argument which I think will remain , given how historically inflation scares people.

But it's just exciting as a social enviornment. All the young kids who are into crypto today...they might move on tomorrow, but the connections you can make while you are in this amazing melting pot will last forever.

And it's not like they are dumb connections either..

Well, how will that public policy and enforcement come about? We live in a democratic society, so the only way the government will enforce anything is if people demand it. And for people to demand it they need to be aware of the issue and what's causing it.
Does anyone know which cheap toy Casio would refuse to play more than two keys at once? That's the one I had as a kid.

It would be like consciously going back from touch typing to hunting and pressing one key at a time.
A lot of the problem is longevity. In the 8 bit, and to some extent the 16 bit era too, the memory constraints were so great that games were often pretty short. So the difficulty bar was set as a method of ensuring longevity.

There was an actual slang term for this used by western developers, the name of which I’ve forgotten, but it directly talks about how games should take longer to complete than your average rental loan.

This is according to Steven Sinofsky, who was very much in a position to know as he was one of the people taking the beatings.

I had trouble finding a good FI planning and simulation tool that could model things in enough detail to finally ditch my spreadsheets... so I decided to build one: ProjectiFi

https://projectifi.io/

A while back I posted a very early version here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26969173), and just released a major overhaul with loads of new features and enhancements, many inspired by the initial HN commentary:

- Monte Carlo mode with customizable simulations, variables, probability distributions

- Backtesting on historical data

- Multiple data persistence options for subscribers: cloud synchronization, localStorage only, or manual import/export

- Stock/bond allocation curve over time

- Improved support for international use cases (currency + locale selector, custom options and contribution limits for financial goals)

- Ability to quickly switch between deterministic and probabilistic modes

- Many new event types to model a broader range of scenarios

- Better support for married filing jointly / couples planning (perhaps still not perfect, but definitely better)

- Redesigned landing page, additional UI improvements

- And more!

If you feel like checking it out, I would love to hear what you think. Most of the functionality is free, but for anyone interested in upgrading to Premium, you can use coupon code "HN-15" for 15% off all plans :)
I can't speak for the mainstream libertarian position, only my own beliefs on what is consistent with human rights and what ruleset would likely be conducive to economic evolution towards greater functionality.

There is nothing wrong with state-owned corporations in principle. They need not violate any one's rights. How they are funded, and what laws are created to assist them, can of course be problematic, as can the general inefficiency of the state sector.

But if the funding sources for the state subsidies are not based on violating private property or contracting rights, there are no laws enacted to give the state-sponsored enterprise a monopoly over a market, and the subsidies address an externality to produce significant positive economic returns, then it would be fine.

This approach to government intervention is less risky, as failure of government administration will only waste the resources expended on the state-sponsored enterprise, while leaving private citizens with the private sector alternatives. Regimenting an entire sector with top-down rules risks destroying that entire sector if the government chooses the wrong set of rules.

With 2GB or RAM I'm talking about the maximum amount possible in a number of machines in use here. Sure it is possible to buy new machines but why would I when there is no need? They work just fine as is with those 2GB, the only restriction is that they can not be used for ZFS since that needs more RAM. Since ZFS is a means to get to an end and there are different means to achieve the same end I just chose one of those - problem solved.

Anything higher makes no sense/difference, even if you print it at A3. And my images are 8-18-24Mpix.

i'm not a pro-foto but somewhat of an old pre-print school - Your level of pickiness may vary :/

Effectively it is like 4-8 times down - Total went from 150Gb into 30Gb - that's about 40,000 images.

I have a "fine print" section on my CV. The first entry is that I refuse to work for anyone who tells me I can't work any side gigs.

As long as you're not in direct competition with your employer, it shouldn't make a difference. If they tell you otherwise, get a different job. Good developers don't grow on trees.

Ironically given the anti-GOP slant of the story, that amendment was introduced by.... Harry Reid. Which, of course, NPR conveniently neglected to mention, instead crediting a GOP house member for "shepherding it" (its approval was unanimous, and needed less than 30 seconds debate).

I have been working as a contractor/consultant/hired gun for a decade now, and before that as a programmer since 2004. I do not recall ever signing a contract that said I couldn't do open source work or side projects.

Now, there is often something that says I can't work for, or as, a competitor in the particular market they're in. Which, to be honest, is only fair. But I would not sign an employment contract that said I couldn't do side projects or open source work, generally.

I wanted to get that in writing but I wasn't in a strong position to negotiate; regardless it was never a problem.

A bit toothless. The financial sectors should fear the word equity, because that basically mean participation of everyone. That would include capital and capital distribution of course. Do these problems get tackled? No? Then I don't anyone has to take the call for equity too seriously in the first place.
It's not an abuse of power if a) it's contractual and b) it's private property. One doesn't automatically become a victim, incapable of provide genuine consent to the terms offered, by virtue of the party offering the terms having a service that they badly want or need.

If you believe otherwise, then I challenge you to convince a court of that. Courts, under common law, will invalidate any contract where the parties to it did not provide informed and genuine consent to the terms contained in it.

Resorting to legislative intervention suggests lacking the confidence in the validity of the allegations that premise it to use the judicial free market track.

>>as someone living in a country with multiple nation wide and regional state owned television channels I think they are terrible idea because they are extremely inefficient compared with private ones and also degenerate into propaganda machines for the political party in power, and the longer the same party is in power the worse.

Two points:

a) you think the polity is incapable of managing large organizatons competently enough to compete with shareholder-run private enterprises, yet you think this same polity can craft effective cookie-cutter rules that will affect millions of interactions a day. It's not a coherent model of the world.

b) the state is not limited to organizations under its direct management to support its policies. As I explained in a response to a sibling comment of yours, the state could still tap market forces to bring about public squares that abide with its guidelines, by providing subsidies to private parties developing such platforms, in exchange for the parties entering into an irrevocable covenant that requires them to follow the state's rules.

Yet another option would be the state funding decentralized open-source protocols that are capable of entirely replacing centralized parties in many markets. The state, being publicly funded, is the only entity capable of cost-effectively funding non-profit initiatives like this that produce public goods.

My larger point is that the state should not be monopolizing industries. It should provide alternatives to the private options. If it fails, the public still has the private options. If it succeeds, it did so by providing an option superior to those provided by the private sector. This imposes accountability on the state, by leaving it with competitors to act as a yardstick, while ensuring its interventions only impact the market to the extent that they improve it.

The main difference between the supercar makers and Toyota is that Toyota has enough scale to justify automating the retries and implement an inventory system that lets them flash the ECUs before they get to the line and then pair the right ECU up with the right car.

Bigger automakers don't magically have smarter engineers or access to magical materials and chips (despite what internet comments may lead you to believe). They just have to do some things differently because of the scale they operate at.
NYT has become closer to state-run media in the past 5 years than I ever thought possible. But that more likely reflects my own naivete and lack of imagination about what the NYT is and represents rather than a major shift in its content (excepting all the idpol stuff, that's new). The assumptions by NYT writers and readers about who 'the skeptical public' is and what they believe, and the nature of 'misinformation' and what it would mean to 'clean up the platform' are absurd projections by the 'paper of record'.
I won't link to projects to avoid the perception of a shill, but the keyword is "decentralized oracle". To be clear, I don't think this is a solved problem yet, and as always with crypto, just because a project claims that they've solved a problem, doesn't mean that they have.
