I’m not sure how charging taxes on landlords is spending public funds that they would have otherwise had if that tax was not present. There’s no loss of public funds here.

I’m also not sure how government policies that deprive people of the ability to own their own home (since they are priced out of the market by landlords, and landlords now own way too much of the housing stock) is a good thing.

Right now in NZ about 1/3 of people rent [1]. It’s an all time high across all age groups.

I’ve got nothing to back this up, but seems reasonable for people given the choice to own their property vs pay someone else, that they would want to own the property. Yes there are some that want to rent but i seriously doubt it’s anywhere near 1/3rd of the population. I also suspect a significant number of people who prefer to rent would not have this opinion anymore if house prices were not so inflated. Maybe 20-25% but no way the 1/3 of all Kiwis that we are seeing now.

Also does 1/6th of all residential property NZ need to be owned by someone with 20+ properties under their belt? [2] Is it good use of public funds to allow such behaviour rather than say encouraging (non residential rental) businesses to grow and expand

I’m not calling for elimination of rental properties, just a fair limit on them. In my opinion it’s more important every person is able to buy a single home than every landlord be able to buy as many homes as they want.

Why is helping employees get government aid bad? Isn't that what government aid is supposed to be for?
I'm quite happy not to be contacted about what I say on this forum. I have neither the time nor the inclination to engage more deeply than I do by commenting here. I've been on HN for most of a decade now, and in that time I've had people figure out who I was a couple of times. They were quite polite about it, not creepy, but I prefer being able to disengage from this forum completely and not have it intrude on the rest of my life. This is low-effort recreation for me. I have a job I love and friends to match; I'm not out to find either on the internet.
> I have never been able to get an eink screen at any cost approaching the Kindle - continually, everywhere, the cheapest way to get started with eink is to jailbreak a kindle and just load your own images onto it.

That's true because of volume. I would never expect to be able to get a raw panel in volumes of under 10,000 units directly from a tier 1 supplier, I'd have to get it from a distributor and they'll mark up based on the volume of that specific model. If I wanted a 32" OLED display, the cheapest way for me to get it would be to buy a OLED TV and then extract the panel. If I tried to ask Samsung Displays Inc, they'd be laughing me out of the building. For niche or exotic low volume displays, the markup the distributor would apply would be large since they're holding stock for a long time. And yes, displays do go bad in storage because of accidents, soaking, wetting/corrision due to condensation, improper storage.

> A 7" b&w non-backlit eink display would cost several times over that of a 5-6" kindle, which doesn't even account for the wireless chips, display board controller, or anything else, even for a loss leader.

That doesn't sound right, how do you actually know the costs ad loss leader subsidy? But anyway my original question was about this so called eink patent hell that HN commentors keep talking about.
These issues, like "it almost breaks physics" and "it breaks the social contract," are pretty vague.
I don’t understand what you’re referring to.

What does hand in hand?

Addressing the specific example in the article we can do a lot better (without protocol oriented programming).

For most cases you aren’t going to even need PoP. And I would argue it REALLY depends on your usecase, and business requirements.

Strong arming and shoe boxing business requirements into specific architectures is the wrong approach, should be the other way around.

>Amazon doesn’t.

They need warehouse space though.
I don't know where to put this in the comments, but I wanted to say that a lot of stuff on Amazon is not cheaper than at your local retailer. Especially the kind of stuff you'd get at a grocery store or pharmacy. Most of the times when I price something out, Amazon is 30-50% more expensive, which makes sense given the shipping costs involved. So you are paying for that convenience and selection.

This happened to us on an update submission we made. We hadn’t changed anything with the sign in screen and they suddenly rejected us for it.

The more complexity introduced into a system, the more likely the event of failure. This is true for airplanes, fission reactors, and monetary systems.

Humans are the ultimate complexity, and indeed central banking relies on the decision making of a powerful few. Will the interest rate go up or down? Will a flood of money buy bonds and mortgages? Those decisions are made for us.

From your article:

> Each of the squad has complete freedom to choose their agile methodology. So some squad uses Scrum sprints, some use Kanban and some uses mix of scrum and kanban. Sometimes to release early, squads apply the Most viable product (MVP) technique too.

The Spotify model is not related to Scrum. It organizes people. How those people manage their work is not related to how the people are organized. An article explaining the Spotify model in terms of Scrum isn’t a counterexample to that.
Now to be fair to Apple, I develop for android too and good lord, they are even worse if your app happens to get caught by their "Artificial Unintelligence".

With Android, at least you can always just post the APK elsewhere and have your users get it from you directly; no such choice for Apple (unless you count the tiny number of jailbroken users.)

In a union, the leadership is negotiating for you. So the person in charge of your employment that the union is replacing is you, not management. They could negotiate things like more PTO, better conditions, or a larger bonus instead of a straight base pay. But as the employee you might want straight up higher base pay. Or maybe the union gets a promotion process that values seniority more than performance. It might save you from a political process or having to play the game, but can hurt other people.

The idea is that unions help the collective and will get a generally better deal then you might get on your own. But again the isn't going to get everything from management and they have to decide what to prioritize. So if your priorities are different than union leadership your wishes might get left behind to help more other people.

Expanding from fire a bit, and stretching the idea of culture from what we think of it as now to something more like learned group behavior, this gets us to Jungian ideas about the collective unconscious. We today have myths and patterns revealed by the stories we tell in cultures across the world which are older than Homo Sapiens and maybe even older than Primates entirely.

People say our collective myths about dragons--flying fire breathing serpents--come from some ancient amalgamation of innate fear of large birds (which would have been predators to small mammals from which we evolved) combined with fear of snakes and other reptiles (same), and all with a healthy dash of the danger and power of fire.

We've been social animals living in (albeit small) social groups for 10s of millions of years with all sorts of accoutrements including functioning hierarchies, acting in ways suited to our environments, knowledge to be able to find food and raise young and so on.

For reference here, homo sapiens is from about 200kya, diverged from our closest relatives (chimps/bonobos) about 8000kya, and primates have been around for 80000kya. And that's just primates.

This stuff is crazy old, unfathomably old.

The law is usually on the side of IP protection. But fighting some of your most enthusiastic and creative fans seems bad for the franchise, community, and hobby in general.

If they encourage unofficial, non-commercial fan fiction, fan art, and fan comics, why forbid unofficial, non-commercial fan animations and films? Not to mention that one of the most obvious and fun uses of model kits and miniatures is stop-frame animation! Changing existing terms is also a bad look.

Next up: Disney sues people who stream Star Wars miniatures, board game, and tabletop RPG sessions (all of which are clearly unauthorized adaptations and public performances of Disney/Lucasfilm's IP.) And Lego Group is presumably liable for encouraging and inciting unauthorized adaptations (and potentially public performances) of the Lego Star Wars movie and game IP in living rooms all over the world - in fact profiting from such infringement and doing nothing to stop it!
With the correct arrangement of holding companies, etc… in various countries around the world, corporations usually get away with paying virtually no taxes themselves. They might have to collect local sales taxes or some such, but going through Ireland, the Netherlands, and various other tax havens, the company itself pays effectively no taxes.
And that’s assuming they choose to make a profit. Amazon intentionally makes virtually no “profit”, because they take the revenue that would otherwise have become “profit” and spend it in a way that counts as “re-investing”.

So, Amazon shows billions and billions of dollars of revenue, but relatively little profit. And it’s only profit that would get taxed at the federal level.
I don't object so much to the segments as the way they were edited into the episodes in nonsensical ways.
That’s the all clear after an alert for the local area asking people to stay indoors to avoid toxic smoke, so presumably things where worse and have now improved.

Concentration makes the poison and the threshold for noticing smoke is very low. Assuming significant distance from a one off event this could be noticeable but effectively harmless right now.
I don't want a return to having to go to a million little overpriced stores sending me stuff with 2+ weeks shipping in the name of competition. Seems like Wal Mart is gearing up to compete with Amazon anyway.

That is a bit harsh. I haven't once experienced a virus, or malware, with Apple.

>But it was him not Bakshi that pushed that adult style onto mainstream television

We have vastly different memories of Mighty Mouse. Ren and Stimpy definitely took it a few steps further, but it's not like the asshole suddenly started making weird shit after working on Mighty Mouse.

And I've admitted several times that the nineties were more influential for adult cartoons on TV. I just think that has more to do with the growth in cable and the rise of outsourcing animation than any pioneers suddenly wanting to make adult cartoons.

According to stories I heard from people who were in the room, the W3C was on the verge of adopting Tcl as the preferred browser scripting language, when Java suddenly and unexpectedly got popular and Netscape decided they could use it as a network system language to challenge Microsoft. JavaScript came shortly afterwards, developed and named purely for marketing reasons to bolster Java uptake.

Then came Microsoft's ever-so-slightly incompatible Jscript, and the next ten years of web history was a fight to see who could lock the most web developers in the trunk.

No room for alternative languages in that scenario.
