Because if everyone raises their prices, the wage increase then effectively makes no difference.

If everyone raises wages, they have to raise prices. For the restaurant, this means they have to charge more for the same service, and they have to pay more for their supply chain (because they also increased their prices).

For the worker, that means they will pay more for things and services they need/want, because every other business will suffer from the same issues and be forced to raise their prices.

All this to say, the worker's purchasing power decreases if everyone raises wages, and that is the definition of inflation.
Ask HN: Can you carry on conversations in your head?
If so, how do you solve the frustrating problem of people talking over each other to make incorrect responses line up with unrelated statements?

edit: Alternatively, can someone recommend a forum where people talk about stuff like this?
Of course you have lower rates of people collecting unemployment when you end unemployment extensions. You can lower it to 0% by killing the program altogether.

You'd be better looking at rates of employment.
It also doesn't help that Rust has this addictive nature and once you tasted your first major Rust program and tamed the borrow checker, you will want to keep using it everywhere. And that's the reason why people keep looking around to rewrite something in Rust. It's in the same category as any other banned drug :)
As I said elsewhere, that might be true for Starlink. But the first corporation that discovers it's cheaper to pay the fine than making it so they're not visible to the naked eye will do it without a moment's hesitation, and nothing will happen to them and then the night sky will be ruined for everyone. And more will follow suit. It's a conversation that needs to be had now, before that happens.

> It doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand.

To the contrary, it provides an intuitive model that produces correct predictions. That is inherently valuable and extremely relevant.

Strongly disagree— See further discussion[1] under my original post for support.

Sure, there might be other theoretical concerns beyond just getting to “uneconomical”, but they are all basically irrelevant compared to the fundamental economical problem that you do not spend $1M to force the attacker to spend $10M, you spend $100M to make the attacker spend $1M. We need to start by improving systems by 10,000% to fix that problem before worrying about minutiae like relative willingness to pay.
Leinengen vs Maven dependency resolution is pretty distant to my concerns. I may be in the minority there, but I don’t think I am. I guess the thing I’m struggling to understand in the build tool differences is:

Leinengen’s (defproject) takes a series of keys and values. It is declarative. You can probably get into dependency hell if your config is complex enough, and I’m almost certain it’s doing more than I understand under the hood. (like why doesn’t it just take a map instead of being a macro?)

tools.deps OTOH appears to need both a bunch of top-level definitions in a namespace (instead of a map literal) AND a hand-rolled build.clj file with custom functions to do most of the things that leinengen considers to be boilerplate. This does imply that you have much more flexibility with tools.deps, but it also raises the bar for entry, and it doesn’t appear to be as data-centric.

If I want to do ANYTHING meaningful with Clojure, I need a project environment to start with. I am not confident about how to do this with clj, even after reading https://clojure.org/guides/deps_and_cli#_writing_a_program
Maybe I just haven’t found the right guide, or maybe clj wants me to commit more to working REPL-first than my dev environment (VS Code + Calva) has good support for.

What I’m wondering now is, if the gains that tools.deps provide are worth the entry price, does it make sense to have something like “create-react-app” to generate a project directory with sane defaults that can be customized if/when needed, if your project doesn’t fit the 90% case? Does this already exist?

‘dustingetz linked the Simple Made Easy talk. I get the distinction between the two, and I don’t want to swallow the hairball. I’m already sold on the Clojure paradigm.

But I ALSO still want to “get this instantly and start running it in five seconds,” and I don’t understand why I’m not allowed that if I choose tools.deps. I don’t think the two goals are more than accidentally orthogonal.
What if Elon started putting telescopes on the back of every starlink satellite and provided the raw live data as a public service? I think there would be plenty of bandwidth to spare for this sort of mission enhancement.

This is a highly dynamic market: from rapidly (in some geographies) developing charging infrastructure to EVs becoming nicer, cheaper and with higher range. Two recent news in this regard are quite notable: a) Elon Musk announcing opening Tesla's Supercharger infrastructure to non-Tesla cars later this year and b) Chinese EV manufacturer Xpeng pricing base model of their new sedan P5 at less than $25K (beating Tesla at bringing the price of a solid EV down to that critical level).

The introduction of win+"stub" in Win8 was pretty great, but with Win10 this has been polluted by "search the web for my program" appearing just a fraction of a second before the program itself. Sometimes it even brings up the installer .exe that's still sitting in my downloads folder before it brings up the program itself.
Change my mind: "slashdotted" > "hugged to death"
"Psychedelics should be legal, and most people should stay away from them until we have high-quality research on them and someone with credentials in psychiatry or medicine instructs otherwise."

I'm not convinced that having to have permission or advice from the medical community is the only legitimate way these substances should be used.

There are strong cases to be made for their religious or spiritual use, and for simple cognitive liberty -- the right of everyone to alter their consciousness how they see fit, for any reason they like, without needing to get permission from anyone.

On the religious/spiritual side, many of these substances are sacred to a lot of people who are otherwise healthy and who shouldn't need a doctor's permission to exercise their religion (in the widest sense of the term that is closer to "spirituality", not just in the narrow sense of being an organized religion similar to the Judeo-Christian faiths).

There are already religious exemptions for religious use of peyote and ayahuasca, and I see no reason why every other psychedelic couldn't get similar exemptions. It's possible psychedelic mushrooms will be the next substance so exempted, though I'm unaware of any serious efforts currently under way to do that.

"These drugs are very powerful and can make permanent and potentially severe changes to your mind."

This is absolutely true (though usually the changes are temporary -- most people fall back in to old habits before long, even if they've had a very powerful experience).

Everyone should definitely educate themselves as much as possible about any substance they take, and about how to do so as safely and constructively as possible (which is usually also the most enjoyable way to use them too).

However, we should also acknowledge that driving a car can also make permanent and potentially severe changes in your mind (though, unlike psychedelics, such if such changes happen they're almost always negative). Yet people drive all the time, knowing they could get in to an accident and suffer brain damage or death, which many do.

Skydiving, scuba diving, parachuting, pretty much every physical sport has a risk of brain damage, injury, or death associated with it, yet most people play all but the riskiest of these without giving them much thought.

Despite occasional accidents and risks most people don't obsess over or try to ban participation in them. Instead we try to focus on ways to make them safer.

> I make a measurement when I show you the color of a ball

You “make a measurement” well before that, when you say that you have a red ball and a blue ball.

The point of entanglement is that until you make a measurement they don’t have a color. You could measure something else than color and you would also find a correlation.

But if they have a defined color the entanglement is broken. Sure, one is red and the other is blue. But if you measure anything else (a non-commuting observable, that is) there will be no correlatiom.

And not knowing which one is what (already defined) color is not a superposition. It’s just a mixture.

Even if it were in the properties of a file it'd be something. Or treating the file like it does a compressed directory. Or any indicator at all.
Lagom underneath uses Akka, it seems like a neat way to create microservices and provides good frameworks to stand up a microservice in a short time and provide some good practises. While Temporal is more focused on Workflow/Service Orchestration part, it can help making sure different calls to different microservices are reliable and processing states are persisted so service downtime wouldn't matter much as system can resume to its previous state without restarting from beginning and wasting resource. In short, Lagom is helpful when creating microservices, Temporal is helpful when creating system that orchestrate multiple microservices.

I think "PGP WoT but hopefully actually usable" is a good way to describe it, but the system is at least blockchain-adjacent. As the user guide[0] says:

"BrightID and IDChain itself use DAOs on IDChain for governance."

and:

"IDChain (IDChain.one) is a proof-of-authority blockchain where validators are democratically elected by BrightID-verified unique humans."

Haha! Good one. Definitely not a revolution.
Maybe my reading comprehension failed me, but my takeaway was that the article was very much not in support of it. "Why does the New menu even exist for creating new empty files? What’s the point of having a New menu anyway?" Supports my view, I feel.
Math has only two results: right or wrong. Under the proposal, mathematics is flexible with no right or wrong answer. Ergo the two are in conflict, which means we must consider the factual record: math DOES have a right or wrong answer, therefore proposal is incorrect on its face and as we all know, mathematical inaccuracies lead to VERY bad outcomes.

All wages increasing is better than only the elite wages increasing and leaving service workers in the dust. They are the ones paying for the lunch.
Key points:

The challenge for a startup is four fold:

1. Screen out folks with negative productivity in the interview process.

2. Avoid screening out potential employees who have great strengths in addition to some obvious weaknesses.

3. Attract, hire, and retain enough strong players from the start to complete your first product in a timely fashion.

4. Fire anyone who made an initially strong impression but who is actually negatively impacting the performance of the team (more broadly: identify and eliminate sources of negative productivity).

This last category, the “Plus Minus People,” are only truly dangerous if you don’t have the ability to detect and acknowledge that you have made a mistake.

Joe Kraus has argued that it’s better to be completely conservative and avoid any “false positives” but my experience has shown that allowing some leeway with a contracting or probationary period to make a final assessment allows some ultimately strong contributors to also be recruited who may have made a negative impression on some members of the team. There is also a value in having folks with diverse backgrounds and perspectives on the team (Doug Hall states that leverage diversity is the second law of capitalist creativity in "Jumpstart Your Business Brain," observing that “You exponentially multiply the power of stimuli when you seek the ideas, opinions, and judgments of people with diverse perspectives.”

You are always better served to select a candidate who has made a strongly positive impression on most of your team over someone who has unanimous but lukewarm support.

If Superdeterminism is true, we can't help it if we believe in it or not.
Yeah, saying I think you're likely confused, as I did, is not remotely the same as calling subjects that interest some people "insane drivel", or "utterly ridiculous nonsense". You definitely need to recalibrate your scale IMO.

"To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly worlds, will separate between him and what he touches. One might think the atmosphere was made transparent with this design, to give man, in the heavenly bodies, the perpetual presence of the sublime. Seen in the streets of cities, how great they are! If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown!" – Emerson, Nature, 1836

"I've seen people on psychedelics do things they never would have otherwise done. Just one example: Jumping from a third story balcony. He was lucky to only break both legs."

People do stupid shit like that (and much worse) on alcohol all the time.

Yet most people are rarely as worried about alcohol availability as they are about the availability of psychedelics... why is that?
So long as Tesla correctly explains what FSD does to its paying customers, then it is not fraud. It is inconceivable that anyone could go through the Tesla buying process and check the box for "FSD" without reading the clear description of what the feature actually is. This isn't like installing iTunes, it adds $8k to the purchase price of the car and it's not optioned by default.

It's true that some people who haven't purchased a Tesla vehicle might be misinformed about FSD. But it's not fraud if they aren't customers.

I don't like the FSD name and I think Tesla should change it. But I can see how people can come to different conclusions about it. The word "full" can mean very different things depending on how you think about the word and the context of its use. The two extremes:

MAXIMALLY NARROW — "Full" self driving means the car can reliably control the vehicle perfectly in all circumstances, on all road surfaces, at all times, in all conditions. This is something that most HUMANS are incapable of, by the way. So under this definition, most humans aren't "full" drivers either.

MAXIMALLY BROAD — "Full" self driving can perform the "full" set of driving tasks, imperfectly, in certain circumstances, on some road types, only at some times, only in some conditions. Doesn't even mean it can drive in these limited situations well, only that it can drive them.

Most people would agree that a realistic definition fits somewhere between those extremes. But there's no question that FSD satisfies the maximally broad definition.

The excuse given in the article however just seems like rewarding bad behavior, and explains at least one reason why the Windows GUI is such a disaster (at this point, it's just years and years of junk accumulation as well, but even in 95 there always seemed to be at least 3 ways of doing the same thing).

I had the experience of implementing an idea successfully. I had a lot of fun with it, it had a degree of popularity, and then one of my community's members went off an implemented the exact same thing on a competing website.

Mine was just a hobby and was never going to make money. What was fun about it was that it was original, and I was the only person doing it, and it had a fun little community and it got some press, too. It was rewarding in a social sense, a fun hobby.

That other guy probably thought there might have been a little bit of commercial benefit to it, or SEO benefit. He launched his site - the same system, just "his" instead of mine. It seemed like the community started getting quiet - they felt awkward about the new site since he was a prior community member. The whole experience soured me on the idea and I started losing interest too.

I eventually took my site down. His site is still going and he's since updated it to generate its content automatically, but it appears to get zero traffic, and has zero community. It's a weird feeing, kind of like being replaced by something soulless.

I don't know what my point is - you could definitely argue that that's just the way it goes sometimes, that I got some fun out of it, and people are always free to try and implement the same thing you do, it's not like I had a patent. But I also feel like the other site contributed to me losing motivation to keep mine going as a hobby, and his site didn't go anywhere either, so overall it feels like a net negative to whatever tiny bit of culture was living at that time.
Gosh. Thanks this actually forced me to review the literature and actually yes you’re right and I was wrong. Turns out some pop econ articles I read recently where deceitful. The thing I did read about and seemed to hold up was rent control and construction - the effect there was small or minimal.

Inflation is a factor, but it's not perfectly fixed to wage increases. E.g. if min wage goes up 30% we're not going to see 30% inflation rates.

I think this quote is fundamentally wrong and intentionally misleading. The equivalent question would be "can we find any cracks on it?" Which makes complete sense. And in fact it is frequently asked during inspections. Just like the security flaw question should be asked in the same vein.
