There are (very) good arguments for it, too long for me to type right now (HN search it, they're there). But I disagree with the arguments, I think it should be included.

That being said I think there is also a measure called "asset inflation" that I think tries to measure things like the cost of investment goods where you'd find houses included. The idea being that inflation is a tide that rises all costs, including stocks. You can't really say the market or a security is doing well or not if the underlying unit of measure (the dollar) is being debased.
In opposite direction: after WW2, Grumman and other airplane manufacturers had a bunch of manufacturing capacity with little/nothing to make. This is why there is a large stock of aluminum canoes all around the country where there had been none previously.

You are right about focusing on tiny niches is more profitable. The trouble is that this is corrosive to our society. Our extremely multicultural nation historically depended on popular media to create a homogeneous base from which to build our interactions upon. This product is advancing the corrosion of that base and separating us further.
This was one of the more useful things Heroku ever seeded, though the maintenance in the intervening decade has certainly eclipsed the initial effort (https://blog.heroku.com/postgresapp_the_easiest_way_to_devel...).

These days I tend to use "asdf" for my Postgres version management. It's not as friendly, but I kind of like running my services (where n < 5) in the foreground myself so I can see errors in the console with ease, and I like that asdf handles all the tools where I have exacting version requirements consistently (and even a few I don't).
First obvious question is "do many Americans actually believe that"? How many Americans believe the moon landing was fake, and is that number a big number?

I suspect what you are seeing is that a very small number of people have been given a very big megaphone, making them look like a much bigger group than they actually are. Plus you will always have a group of people who will say outrageous things "for the lulz" without actually believing any of it.

how about changing the marketing from "netflix for a black audience" to "netfix about black people"

that means, this channel intends to highlight stories from or about black people, but it doesn't suggest who should watch it.

saying "it's for black people" is patronizing because it is claiming that it is not for me, whereas, if it is "about black people" then i feel welcome to watch it, because i happen to be interested in that.

I'm not sure such a big conspiracy is needed. After all, the reason "nothing to hide" memes are so common is that a lot of people believe them enthusiastically. It seems entirely plausible to me that a core team of passionate crusaders could have driven this project to completion by just making it too awkward for anyone to object. For a sample of outside perspectives (https://www.npr.org/2021/08/06/1025402725/apple-iphone-for-c...):

> Meanwhile, the computer scientist who more than a decade ago invented PhotoDNA, the technology used by law enforcement to identify child pornography online, acknowledged the potential for abuse of Apple's system but said it was far outweighed by the imperative of battling child sexual abuse.

I'm using Linux for development, but it has the disadvantage that I'll have to port and test it on Windows later (I no longer support MacOS).

Windows is a well-working operating system, but I wouldn't want to use it for important data or work. I only use it for gaming and hobby audio work. The risks of failure with updates and the risk that Microsoft may suddenly change something important or force me to watch ads, etc., are in my opinion just too high. Also, the advice on official Microsoft forums when something goes wrong tends to be horribly bad. Their standard advice seems to be to completely reinstall the OS. It's also very complex under the hood, with a bazillion of complicated troubleshooting options in case something goes wrong. It took me 1 1/2 years until I had enough information from public forums to figure out why the XBox gaming network was not working! And people say Linux is complicated...

Wow this is a seemingly well reasoned & data driven piece with accompanying citations, thanks for sharing.

I'm honestly a bit stunned at some of the references & findings:

- "The real world data has shown that the death rate among the vaccinated, if infected with COVID, can be 3 to 5.7 times higher [1] than the death rate of the unvaccinated."

- "In the UK, which is tracking variants, reports [2] that among Delta variant cases, those vaccinated with two doses died at a rate of 0.0078 per infection and those unvaccinated died at a rate of 0.0014 per infection. The death per infection was 5.7 times higher among the vaccinated."

That said, I can't seem to find any credentials or publications by the author of this piece "Dr RollerGator PhD".

Can anyone provide citations to peer-reviewed publications that confirm or contradict his statements here? At face value the math appears to be correct, but perhaps there are more elusive errors in his reasoning.

That argument does have nothing at all to do with the content of critical race theory...which is pretty much exactly like most arguments I’ve seen “against” it recently. Probably has something to do with all the right-wing rage mongering about that term being attached to things that have nothing to do with CRT, and about keeping teaching it out of domains where no one is even interested in putting it.
Building bridges between communities is good, but it isn't the singular goal of storytelling. There are plenty of stories to tell that aren't wrapped tightly around the mission of making Black people seem cheerful and unthreatening to America, just like there are plenty of stories to tell about about Irish people that are about the complexity of Irish people just as human beings with human stories that happen to feature distinctive aspects of Irish culture.

I'll watch a movie set in Scotland just because I think Scottish culture is super interesting, regardless of whether that movie aims to make Scotland seem charming or "well integrated" with my own culture.

But the thing is, nobody (at least in America) expects a show about Scottish people to shoulder the burden of holding up a bridge between Scotland and the world. But there is a sense (at least in America) that the cultural success of Black stories is to be benchmarked against the Cosby Show. Which is weird, when you think about it.
Its simple really, the cultures in America are very diverse, which may not be the case in your country.

Indian Americans regularly consume music and foods that most other Americans don't.

Hispanic Americans mostly are bilingual with Spanish/English. There are more spanish only speaking hispanics than there are english only speaking.

America has a history of racists laws (goverment) and bylaws (corporations, institutions, universities) created directly to disenfranchise non-whites that shaped present day distribution of races in different states, neighborhoods, socioeconomic status, cultural values and more.

As recently as the 60s, blacks were expressly banned from many colleges so in order to fill the gap, HBCU (Historically Black Colleges & Universities) were created because black people had no good options.

Most media in America is created by whites and the stories are based largely on white American culture. The Indian and Chinese Americans are another group that have a very hard time finding tv shows and movies that resonate with their culture. BlackOakTV looks like an attempt to offer more content representing the real differences in black American culture written from the perspective of those who actually understand it.

We are using tanka [0] and are failry happy with it. The jsonnet language allows nice layer of abstraction while still allowing to directly generate kubernetes resources when necessary. We wrote in-house library to map (very) simplified .jsonnet file to kuberenetes deployment; after all, 90% deployements are mostly same and differs in minor details only. Seems to work reasonably well.

I confess slightly more complicated light switches would be convenient. We have some that have an LED in them when in the "off" position as an easy night light/indicator of where to turn lights on. That is quite nice.

Would also be cool if they were more "push toggle" style so that if I have two sets of switches on the same lights, I don't have to accept that four switches all in different "positions" are different states. (That is, Up Down Up Up, but all off.)

All of that said, most of that does not need any sort of "smart" additions. Basic circuitry has come a long way.

Energy is heavily taxed. On all stages. Upstream royalties, licensing, retail gasoline, retail electricity.

Around 3% of GDP is taxes to fossil energy.

Assuming a yearly GDP of 70 trillion for the G20, that's more than 10 trillion USD paid in taxes since 2015, from fossil fuels to the governments.

A sweet deal for governments!
If you want numbers, it's sadly more like Stewart's "I know it when I see it" comment. But I think we're also talking about reaching different bars.

My comment was in reaction to jolux's assertion that those exploring other solutions to safety are acting in an irresponsible, unprofessional, and unethical manner. I've been digging into Zig and Ada on the side for personal projects, and thus spending time on their respective reddits and forums. And dealing with the Rust zealots trolling these communities is verging on intolerable. Like you point out, "Why Reddit is like this" is a whole other issue, but there's a reason people are reflexively defensive. This issue comes up in the content of the podcast under discussion as well. So my bar in this case was the point where we should converge on some single solution, which I don't think is representative of Rust's official stance, but it is an issue with Rust's larger informal community. Or maybe it's just a problem with Reddit and HN.

The bar I suspect you are talking about is more along the lines of should people be using Rust in production, and clearly Rust has reached that point. People with far more at stake than I have are successfully using Rust in production, and that is a necessary step forward to things like a formal standard and multiple implementations.

Your point around the outward facing marketing is interesting. It's a shame and I don't think it speaks well of us as in industry that we tend to be so tribal around discussing the deficiency and comparisons of our tools, but I can see where the idea to focus on what your own project can do is more effective messaging. Its interesting how that kind of ties back to this post https://steveklabnik.com/writing/rust-is-more-than-safety in which you dig into some of the issues marketing Rust.

FWIW you now have me wondering the same question of why does Zig deserve to exist when Ada exists as well and start to see if I can put together a decent comparison to understand the spaces they all function in.
End-to-end encryption is not a complex issue. That's what governments would have us believe. The truth is they just don't like how encryption in general subverts their power. That's why it should be standard in every single messaging platform. Consequences be damned.

LMAO, you're really reaching for those grapes. The courts ruled that "cakes for straight people" meant cannot be sold to non-straight people, which is in fact discriminatory and also illegal. I don't think BlackOakTV is requiring photo identification as proof of Blackness to sign-up. Stop it.

Edit: For clarity, the Supreme Court actually ruled in favor of the homophobic cake shop in Colorado strictly on freedom of religion grounds, however religion is clearly not the factor here. And for your argument to be effective, you'd have to agree that a homophobic cake shop can't get away with discrimination simpliciter.
I'm part of a subculture and every instance of "representation" that MSM throws our way is radically off, horrible in every way. I'm not looking for more of that.

If I was in a more predominant subculture, maybe I'd be interested in accurate representation, but expecting a lot of that from entertainment doesn't seem wise.

Accepting entertainment for what it is, and not necessarily representation, feels like a more manageable remove.
I wonder if that actually works that well. Especially with black roofing tiles which get quite hot. Compared to the hopefully shaded by the plants themselves soil. If your plants are sometimes shaded by trees depending on time of day the sponge will also probably fail you because your roof is more likely not to be shaded at all in many places for fear of overhanging tree limbs or roots being a danger to the house over the long term. Though it would be good for saving on cooling costs/energy use but then the sponge stays too wet vs. the soil.

I'd go for a soil moisture probe. That checks whether the plants really need the water, not whether a sponge with a "different reality" than the plants is dry.

Weather report data is cool though. Though you can't trust the weather report only, you can nicely combine the data from a soil probe (a "multi zone" system with a probe per zone would be great, probably easy to program with a Pi) with expected rain but an override via the soil probe if it actually didn't rain.

Since the OP said sprinkler I'm sort of thinking lawn though which I think should just never be watered at all ever. Waste of water just to look nice. And yes our town actually prohibits watering of lawns in summer. And for plants drip irrigation is better than sprinklers but hey, if you have a sprinkler system already go for it.
"Neflix for Protestants" and "Netflix for Catholics" would be considered similarly unhelpful.

Thanks for your comment. I enjoyed your article. Deliberate practice is something I’ve thought about before in the context of programming and it’s hard to nail down. Especially because of how some of the skills are not programming at all. E.g. How might you deliberately practice skills like requirements gathering or managing stakeholders.
I think it’s much more common than you might think. Anecdotally, I’ve met many people who shared the assertion when the topic came up in conversation - and it’s not a common topic, either.

We’re in a unique position to track this effectively as consumers. We have the tools, the data, etc. It just needs a bit of impetus, which is a big ask, I know. But tracking product price per day unit should be doable as well as standard sold package sizes for brand products.
Congrats on the launch, but you are attacking a difficult market, with a strong 'political' risk/factor as we can see in this thread. If I remember correctly there was a similar startup in YC S15 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9903229) that shutdown 2 years after (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15292534, https://techpoint.africa/2017/09/22/afrostream-shut-down/).

In streaming content is king and over priced this day due to the ongoing war between Netflix / Disney / Amazon / Hulu ... and if you read through Afrostream postmortem, the main issue is that new subscribers consume all the content relevant to them in three month (so you always have to acquire more content). I read that you plan to commission indie content, but how do you plan you be able to keep up? Will you focus more on content that is fast / cheap to product : live shows / reality TV, or do you have an other idea in mind?

An unsolicited advice : If I was in your shoes, I would look at how to use deepfake to transform some content to fit your platform. For example, by trying to change some old cartoons, where licensing cost can be reduce, to match your niche taste. This will put you in a good position for the future of content war, if it ever go the way of fully generated content.
Yes, I often feel like 'refactorability' is way undervalued. The focus is on writing abstractions that can be easily extended to handle more cases but as soon as some case doesn't fit, it will be hacked in because the code is abstracted in a very narrow way and cannot be easily refactored to accommodate this new case 'natively'.

Do that for a couple of years in a single codebase and the beautiful abstraction design has changed into a state machine with a transition between almost every pair of states
