Internet companies of all sizes can do all sorts of things to identify you. Instagram could also do things server side to link your accounts without any scripts from other origins. The fact a script from FB.com is loaded tells you zero information about account linkage.
Hi, apologies for the invasiveness. I'm glad you are impressed with Sourcegraph and we're working hard to make the experience better.
No, that doesn't address the use case for subscriptions. (In fact, I'm struggling to understand why anyone would use it in its current state.) The sender of a Sablier "stream" has to set a fixed start and end time for the stream, and deposit the entire value of the stream up front. None of this makes any sense for a subscription application, where the merchant wants the subscription to recur until cancelled, and the subscriber doesn't want to make a large payment up front.
Can they make that moat? This analysis from a few days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28132830 suggests there are tougher times ahead..
It doesn't seem that much harder. The difference between normal car driving and that seems to be a much lower speed, and a much higher tolerance to get close to pedestrians.

Route finding will be a bit more difficult, but other than that, it could probably be approximated as "if (closest_obstacle_in_front.distance > 30 cm) { drive(SPEED_SNAIL_PACE); } else { honk(); }"
> I don't see how a payment processor is "being associated" with the content

They are literally facilitating the transaction.... Handling payments which determine access to the content is very much "being associated".

> Deciding whether that sort of thing is happening really shouldn't be their purview.

That is their purview. Who they choose to process payments for, and the various rates based on content and risk, is the entire purpose of their business.

FICA is a payroll tax, not an income tax. You don't pay FICA on dividends, capital gains, interest, rental income, pensions, Social Security, etc. But they are subject to the federal income tax.
Many of the things that haven't been automated are unsolved challenges. I'm sure restaurants would love it if you could fully automate their cleaning, answering the phone, or fixing the broken milkshake machine, but we only have partial solutions to those sorts of activities.

Which means that if consumers do get pushed to alternatives, it might be getting a frozen pizza instead of a restaurant pizza.
as always the real elephant in the room is that inflation is not bad per se, except for those whose wages don't grow as much as the inflation. And wages for low earners will rise. Thus, we are not really talking about inflation but more concretely about redistribution of wealth, only this time the low earners are getting more from the pie. Not the ones with the capital or the ones who don't work (anymore).

As for America, this can only be good imo because the inequality has long been way too high. Nonetheless, I don't agree that America will see long and sustained inflation and there are things that will stay too expensive even with rising wages (e.g. healthcare) so these effects will probably be short-lived unless the government policies will change something more substantly (and with the new stimulus packages coming, it could happen).

this may work well for teams of 2-5, I simply don't see this working at all for any larger teams or any team with formal development processes.

The whole idea of merges/PRs etc is to be able to formalize this stuff, track it, keep history etc in a way that is open and can be used with multiple tools.

Using some kind of proprietary, or even open source, web backend SaaS completely defeats this.

And the whole 'real time google docs for code' is going to be incredibly intrusive for most experienced devs. People dont make a habit of micro inspecting every line of code someone writes, no one has the time for that. The whole idea is to have good design practices, unit tests, CI/CD etc, good APIs and interfaces.

Sturdy sounds great for small startups who are all basically working on a single shared file and everyone is doing some sort of massive pair programming. That simply doesnt work for other models and is a nightmare. Learning git (or any other vcs) is a tiny tiny part of software development, its not a barrier like its being presented unless you are a junior dev starting out.
I don't know this author, but the arguments that increasing wages will cause inflation, independent of their economic accuracy, are also perfectly tuned messaging for a specific group, the owners of businesses (and the high-level managers). That could be coincidence, but if the beneficiaries are paying attention - and that group is very sophisticated politically - it's probably not.

Openly opposing wage increases for workers is political suicide, especially given the context of decades of flat wages and income inequality, and of the pandemic and essential workers, and given that it displays brazen greed and self-interest at the expense of the rest of the country.

But if they convince enough people - not everyone - that wage increases cause inflation, while they also stoke fear of it (remember during the Great Recession, fear of inflation was a tactic against Obama's policies), they can reduce the wages paid and keep more profit. It takes convincing people not directly affected by the issue, such as white collar workers who are already highly paid (ironically) and retirees, which IMHO is easy and often done. It also takes convincing people directly affected that their own wage increase somehow harms them, or that they should sacrifice for the country; that's harder, but as we've seen, many people vote against their economic self-interest and even risk theirs and their family's lives for political movements. Remember, they don't need to convince everyone, just enough people.

If inflation risks significant harm, and if wage increases are a significant factor (which I don't believe), I think suppressing wages is the last thing we should consider, if we consider it at all.

Imagine if they said, 'SV company pricing is causing inflation' or 'wages in SV are causing inflation'.

I feel like a lot of this is the bottom catching up to the top. It seems high net-worths are exploding, driven by a rise in public stocks. Real estate is also ballooning. The natural minimum wage rising so quickly is the natural finish to an inflation whip.

> There are many with crypto who struggle to get the normal banking system to touch their money [...] 99% of the banking system hates crypto

The current top comment says "cryptocurrency continues to occupy more and more ground in the financial world. Cryptocurrency continues to expand and grow by every conceivable metric".

It feels like cryptocurrency advocates flip freely between positioning crypto as embraced by the mainstream financial system, or as a foil to the that system, whatever serves their purpose.

This isn't a personal indictment, it's just an observation reading the comments, especially since I shockingly "remain skeptical" per that same top comment.
I thought the “time to retire csv?” thread was tongue in cheek satire, but it seems real people think it can happen. Maybe my thinking is too static, but I feel like as long as a delimited string is a thing, csv will remain ubiquitous. Everything is meta data and also not meta data.

So we're currently built on Hyperledger Fabric which allows us to insert permissions to the data. So certain parties can't see the private data of others on a construction project that they shouldn't. When needed, we can guarantee the accuracy of data without exposing a customers. This means you know the data comes straight from the source and isn't tampered with but not the identity of the user.

In the future, if/when me migrate to a public chain, that functionality will be there as well with implementations like ZK Snarks and other zero knowledge proof solutions.

Its a tacit admission that the economy needs us to have money, but also seems bizarrely to need to distribute it unequally to get where it wants to go. If the economy needs us to have money but distributed it equally, the 'value' property would become really moot.

Its also a tacit admission that most 'jobs' have no relationship to productive labour, or even necessarily create value. But, I'm a believer in the labour theory of value, so there's that...

Can you elaborate on how it is redistribution of wealth for low earners? Genuinely curious.
Wow all 5 people who want to do this will be stoked. In addition to the company who will get a nice stock bump from idiot investors who buy anything crypto adjacent (they were a meme stock and are followign the scam protocol set in place by gme,amc et al). And crypto investors are ecstatic in hopes it'll bump prices. so as usual all hype and greed and zero utility.

Until the cell signal goes black because of the same fire and they all die in their waymos. Considering you call people "meat" I think this conversation is over.
There was all kinds of nsfw (including porn) stuff on r/all this morning for me.
Totally agreed. That youtube channel op linked to was my main source of following waymo until he stopped. There's close to 100 full driverless rides and nearly all are normal. The one that has a hickup got maybe 1000x more coverage than any other ride but that's how it goes. I liked how the guy, despite clearly being a waymo fan, makes sure to show an unvarnished view at the state of the tech in contrast to some enthusiasts who mislead or overhype the tech they cover.

I think you'll have to more clearly define what you mean by "key-value" pairs.
So, here is the core problem: if you want to do this on mobile... how? You can't do the actual payment parts securely using just a web browser--if you think about it that kind of undermines the whole concept for a lot of people: you would need to host that website somewhere--and then crypto wallets that support dapps and payment processing tend to get banned by Apple, because they provide a way to bypass their cut for services using an app (even if that app is just a browser) :/.

You're slicing the baloney pretty thin if you agree that the government has taken action against these same financial institutions, with respect to their processing similar payments, but it's completely unrelated to the current situation, and that the financial institutions should act as if nothing's ever happened before.

Their stock price hasn't appeared to notice - so I'm guessing that investors (like the majority of us I'd assume) are cotinuing on with the theory that even outright identifying a company as a monopoly isn't going to result in any serious anti-trust legislation in this modern world.

Obviously Facebook itself is going to try and play it cool throughout this entire proceeding - but the investors will usually jump ship if they're concerned.
Instagram was 13 people when Facebook acquired it for roughly 1 billion dollars. It had 30 million users.

Plenty of us have excuses for why our companies are not worth 76 million dollars per employee. Some of us don't even try. The point is you're right: It doesn't take a lot of people to create extraordinary value.

Apple provided a pathway, however unintentionally, to greater power. And those in power used their existing authority to gather even more for themselves, as they always do.

https://playingfordoubles.substack.com/p/the-coffee-can-port...

This article references something called The Coffee Can Portfolio. The idea of a coffee can is simple: You try to find the best stocks you can and let them sit for years. You incur no costs with such a portfolio, and it is simple to manage.

Robert Kirby, the Portfolio Manager who first introduced the idea recognized that most professional investors in the stock market focused on preserving capital as opposed to growing it. As a result, when their portfolios became “unbalanced”, that is, their winning stocks started to become large portions of their portfolios, they trimmed those positions and transferred capital into their “less successful” investments, the ones that had gotten “cheaper”.

Although that might sound prudent, what is really happening is that money is being transferred from the most dynamic companies, to the least dynamic companies.

This idea helped me become a longer term investor, and as a result, a better investor.
Even more annoyingly, US pharmacies often refuse to accept leftover medicines for proper disposal. They'll hand out packets of stuff that makes opioids unusable to addicts, that's all.

There is literally 0 market desire for mass transit. Mass transit is not viable on the free market functionally. It doesn't mean we should not build it.

Before the first automobile suburb, cars were already in sufficient concentrations to require infrastructure to be taken away from other modes of transport and onto cars - the first example was in the 1910s, MUCH before Robert Moses designed any suburb - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaywalking#Origin_of_the_term

This is simply an a-historical take on reality. Cars got infrastructure by being enough of a nuisance to force the government to build around them. And it started in the city, not in the suburbs. Not that suburbs are good, but it's important to get these things right.

Things can scale without scaling enough. Cars did scale, they just did so unsustainably. Since we're being pedantic anyways.
I am the author, and my argument is in no means against rising wages. In fact, I think it’s about damn time that wages are rising. The $15/hr living wage movement has fought for this so long, that now $15/hour is barely a living wage anymore.
My argument is actually that the economy is built on the backs of underpaid workers, and now that these workers are demanding their fair value we will either see inflation or the failure of many businesses. I don’t believe a business should be allowed to survive if it can’t afford to pay its employees a living wage, so if my argument implies that it is truly not my intention. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions to clear this up in my article.

I threw out a rough number. And I agree digital advertising takes time to learn. But with a rough number of $15k and spending less than $75k total you absolutely can get help to run some proper ads. You may not be profitable immediately, but you can get the ball rolling growing your social accounts, growing your email list, and generating some sales. Then you can snowball off that. My point was you can spend much less than half of the asking price to build a similar company. In this case it’s probably better to build vs buy. That’s the only point
