It sounds like a local bike shop isn't really what you're looking for. Under $800 a Decathlon/triban road bike is pretty decent.

There are commuter bikes for $100 but it's just not worth servicing them because telling someone it'll be 40% of the original bike price in labor + parts to fix something not major is hard for them to accept.

> low maintenance, comfort, and ruggedness. Apparently that's totally uncool and biking is all about ultralight and ultrahard--feel every crack in the pavement through the hard plastic saddle!

Carbon is more comfortable by reducing the vibrations that you'll feel compared to aluminum.

The reason why they stock shitty parts is because they appear to service really cheap bikes and for people who buy cheap bikes, that's what they want. I know many shops who wouldn't service cheap bikes and I know many shops where they would but I wouldn't trust them with my more expensive Trek road bike. So it's strange that they also stock carbon frames.
There's also a key difference between WW2 and the war on terror, which is fiat money created in the 70s (around Nixon's time). Right around the start of the war on drugs.

If I could short stock in this idea, well, it would be like getting in early on crypto.
It's very reasonable for someone new. It's batshit insane for anyone who's been in the industry for about 20 years. But that doesn't matter. The only thing that does matter is finding tech that you're productive with, and you've found it, so everyone else's input is pretty moot. In addition, it sounds like you've found the right idea anyway which is: avoid complicating work.

It's a real tangible accomplishment to find a tech stack you're productive with and don't have to change or update frequently. So, congratulations!

The last major real revolution on the backend in my eyes was Sinatra, not for Sinatra itself, but how it changed how everyone wrote web servers. The last real revolution on the front end was Angular.js (v1.x) and then shortly after, React.

There's a lot of change year after year in the real world, but a majority of it you can ignore.

People tithe 10% to God. Taxing 37% of income is usurious taxation.

You would be sorely mistaken if you believed that people paid 94% of their income as taxation. The tax code is entirely different today from then.

> For too long, Apple has evaded public scrutiny. The truth is that for many Apple workers -- a reality faced disproportionately by our Black, Indigenous, and other colleagues from minoritized racial, gender, and historically marginalized groups of people -- the culture of secrecy creates an opaque, intimidating fortress. When we press for accountability and redress to the persistent injustices we witness or experience in our workplace, we are faced with a pattern of isolation, degradation, and gaslighting.

I'm not hip on the trendy ritual formulas, but I think they'd have had a more powerful statement if they dropped the whole parenthetical.
I knew someone would say that :-) ‘Slower’ is super subjective. What is the actual performance requirement? And remember that the OP thread is talking about an extremely high-performance RPC system. Sure, it may not be as fast as C++, but again, what is the actual performance requirement. You don’t go around just throwing ‘Eh, not as fast as C++’ at everything you come across :-)
Yes we have to add that.
Yeah high-end cafe seems like a tough sell. A cheap cafe to go to during group rides sounds great for having people learn about your high end service shop.
Possibly, but it was also not a large storefront, and it's been replaced by a boutique donut shop. It's down the street from a creperie, a wine bar, and some other bistro thing. There used to be a health food store on this block.

Basically just saying that some combination of floor space, rent and other fixed costs, etc etc led to pursuing a higher-end business model and it didn't work out. There may be lots of reasons for that, but one of the principles here is that you need to be able to bike to your bike store— it's not fulfilling its purpose if it's in a power center plaza that you need to drive to.
My wife kept wanting to get that for our kids. I told her no, because all it would do is increase her anxiety. So far we are 3/3 kids and all of them have been fine without it thus far.

It's obviously perfectly fine for you to feel that way about Covid, but in my opinion the correct thing for you to do would be to isolate yourself and try to minimize the chance of being infected instead of wanting further damaging restrictions to be forced on other people (I don't mean relatively non-intrusive measures such as mask wearing, but any form of lockdowns).
The historical top rates were subject to a lot more deductions than we have today - effective tax rates were in the 40% range. Effective rates today are certainly lower, so your point stands, but the difference isn't as stark as just looking at marginal rates would presume.
What? This is one of few papers I’ve ever seen (on this kind) that can make a causal claim. The visa lottery essentially makes it a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), the gold standard of science.
I don't think this comparison is very accurate.

VScode is at least free as in beer (with VScodium being free-free, if a little less convenient to use). Lightroom is a paid program that requires getting into Adobe's whole subscription mess.

Darktable still has a GUI. It isn't nearly as barebones or discovery-hostile as vim (I love vim but there's a learning curve). I used darktable to touch up some photos, and was able to stumble through as a complete novice.

IMO a better comparison would be Blender vs <insert your favorite proprietary 3d modeling tool here>.
In the bike-parts and other speciality manufacturing businesses, there's a fourth barrier to entry for new competitors: reputation for quality.

Quality matters a whole lot for the kind of products PNW makes. Not every cyclist has the ability to figure out whether a part was manufactured correctly (no cracks or voids in castings, etc etc).

Maybe they outsource them. But finding contract manufacturers who do a good job is a highly skilled business.

And cyclists depend on stuff like this to work. I once had the top of a cheapo seatpost break off on a road bike, in the late fall, far from home. Cheezy metal manufacturing. Cold couple of hours waiting for a rescue. Happily I didn't crash.

I learned my lesson. Now I buy stuff from my local bike shop, or sometimes REI if I'm far from home. The possibility of counterfeit parts is frightening. I know I can trust the local bike shop to source decent parts.

LA never felt like a city to me because of the sprawl. I remember driving into downtown from the airport, and thinking to myself, “This is a suburb with tall buildings in the distance”. I chalk this up to me being from the East Coast and going to NYC a lot as a kid, and therefore seeing a “city” as something that’s dense and walkable.

>> That is The Pot.

> It's not a pot, its a stream; using the available flow isn't draining it

WRT PAYGO style government spending this is perfectly accurate.

WRT debt-financed spending it's closer to correct than "The Pot" but still off (spending now doesn't drain the stream, but does reduce future flow for a fixed period of time).

WRT a massive war it distracts from the enormous second and third order effects.
Interesting to see that only Apple fanatics are taking offence to this, when even former Apple employees know that it's true. So you're 'not allowed' to make jokes about what someone 'did' in the past and to them it is considered blasphemous and hateful to commit such an 'offense'. /s

Confess your sins for offending our iGod. /s (Even though I see lots of other businesses making jokes about what some dead people did whilst they were alive with no religious cult reaction like this one here.)

I usually get the "Bad? Rate on our own feedback page" "Good? Rate on the store" scam.
I think it's always economically advantageous to ignore the health of workers and let them birth and raise more workers and then die at a fairly young average age. See the history of slavery, factory workers, miners, etc.

I would be very surprised if any pandemic intervention that focuses on quality of life or especially lives saved is going to look positive by most economic metrics.

Specific to the article; the traditional analysis with fixed value per life concludes that lockdowns were positive. The "preferred analysis" with a sliding scale from infants valued at $24M and 85-year-olds valued at $500K is negative.

The total costs also look screwy; there's a line item for "lives lost from economic restrictions" with cost of $4015B. Divided by $7.8M per life would be over 500K people, which seems absurdly high. Yes, if one assumes as fact that almost as many people will die from economic restrictions as from Covid then of course the lockdowns will look bad in almost any light. I can't find any reference to how that line item was calculated.

Thanks!

That the thinking I had when I started taking medication.

Do I need the meds? Irrelevant, and I already got through several decades of my life without them.

Do they make life easier? Absolutely.

Do I have a reason to keep making my life harder? Nope.

Another thought: all the resources and energy (including mental efforts) that are solvable by other, easily implementable means (from medication to changing the way you do things that works for you) — all that time and energy is stolen from your loved ones and people you care about.

Is the time spent doing Boring Difficult Task more valuable to you than time with your friends and family? Perhaps not. Then why choose to maximize the Boring Difficult time?

Fidget, walk, exercise, drink water, take breaks, take Monday off, hire a maid, order takeout, get therapy, get the right meds — it's your life, and you want to spend the most of it on things that matter.

And the time you spend trying hard to do things that are difficult for you is time and energy you can recover by taking the pain out of the process of doing them.
The one thing that still bothers me is that we don't yet know how quickly this coronavirus evolves, and from what we know it very likely escaped from a gain-of-function laboratory that specializes in quickly mutating viruses. I didn't see Delta coming. I want to believe that this is the worst of it. But this coronavirus has so far kept us on our toes so it may well have a few more surprises in store
I feel like high end bike service in general is a tough sell unless you have a huge local club-ride community of people whose time is extremely valuable.

I know someone who operated a Velofix van for a few years, and I used it a few times, but the minimum cost was basically $100+. For that much coin, I would just walk my bike home or take it on the bus. Particularly if it was something like a flat tire where I know I can fix it myself at home for a few dollars.
It's been terrible in the last year.

And the examples of OP are all too accurate (Business Insider, Bloomberg, Forbes, Medium, virtually any platform).
The down side of the bike industry moving on has been the explosion of tools you need. Once there were two standards for bottom brackets and largely common tools for dismantling them. Now you need a specific tool for your bearing housing and good luck if it is press fit instead of threaded. Fork bearings are almost as bad.

Traditional steel frames with the old standards are almost infinitely serviceable but the modern bikes seem deliberately designed to be thrown away when something wears out. Is your through axle frame mount worn to the point where the wheel won't stay centred? Chuck it because it can't be repaired. The old slots and skewers will work despite wear and tear.

Did your fork bearing fail? You can try hammering out the press fit bearing but oh sorry frame is now cracked, throw it away. The old style quill bearing system doesn't require destructive force to fix.

HN SS? Just like with ExpertsExchange, whitespace matters.
When I was younger I swam a little over a mile a day, five or sometimes six days a week. While there weren't that many distractions, I didn't find it as easy to daydream. I usually got bored. I would count the full laps, and because I was bored I would be thinking things like "12 more laps and I'm over 50%" or whatever, but I never had the free-roaming thinking that I associate with walking. Maybe because I only had so much time before I had to turn around yet again.

I don't recommend swimming that much a week, btw, because I eventually started losing stamina and had to stop completely because I got to where I couldn't do even a quarter mile. That was where I learned the power of resting.

Yes, because that's a marginal rate, not a effective rate. There's a big difference between the two, that many people are quick to gloss over.
That is the point. Funny how these things tend to call for the same cure. At least for that one we got a movie narrated by Spock, detailing how we were all going to freeze to death.

"The one thing you do not get in an office meeting room is horizon. You might get milestones and goals and targets, but horizons? They're for making you wonder what if, asking what's over there, dreaming enough to go and look. Facebook's answer is an airless, corporate, unmitigated office. There is no horizon. There is no escape. There will be no dreams."

> When a real world business bans you on a technicality you don't really have recourse either.

But there are vanishingly few real world businesses that have the kind of editorial power Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have over what information people consume. The only other industry with that sort of power is the news industry. And they (at least used to) have very strict legal codes and professional ethical codes which hold them accountable to society. It’s not ok for journalists to slander people or give bogus medical advice. But somehow we think it’s fine if a witch hunt is trending on Twitter, or YouTube patiently convinces people that the earth is flat, or vaccines don’t work.

You can talk all you want about the sovereignty of businesses and I get it. The problem is, when those businesses are so big and form such an essential part of how people connect in society, we (society) collectively depend on those businesses to be responsible actors.

Not all governance is bad governance. Where did you get the idea that governments can only ever be part of the problem? There are plenty of people doing good work in the US government at every level. And plenty of world governments that work well. And plenty of historical examples of fantastic US public policy measures - like the space program.

And if government isn’t working properly, you think digital feudalism would work better? A world some rogue AI at Google is able to shut off your online life because they don’t like the contents of your email or Google docs. So they brick your gadgets and shut you off from the world.

Admittedly I’m not citing actual numbers (but then again neither is anyone else here), but subjectively based on past experience, I highly doubt that. The OCaml compile is super parallelizable, with no forward references i.e. potential dependency cycles like in Java. My feeling is it blows Java out of the water.
Linux has nothing to do with Node, though. Most of the Linux world (and the Windows world, and the OSX world, etc) wishes it would just go away forever. Javascript is unadulterated pain.

As for Linux package sizes go... why are you installing so many packages that you don't need just to complain about it?

On Debian and Ubuntu, `dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | sort -n` will tell you the install size of things sorted by worst offender; for me, on one of my development machines, is git, followed by Perl packages required by the system, neovim, and then a bunch of normal things expected on any install. `df -h` minus `/home` is a hair over 600mb.

git, being the largest thing, has an install size of 38 megs. Indeed, I cannot tell you why git is 38 megs, there may or may not be bloat here.

As a comparison, Windows uses around 6GB of space, and a MSVC install that has a common set of toolchains may take up to 20GB and... arguably does less than my <1GB Linux install (when it comes to dev work, anyways).
The smug confidence when the outlets assert these things is one of the most galling parts:

> Babies and young children study faces, so you may worry that having masked caregivers would harm children’s language development. There are no studies to support this concern.

https://twitter.com/AmerAcadPeds/status/1425857041457942542

There are "no studies" because you can't do studies like that on humans! I guess absence of evidence = evidence of absence now. What about on monkeys?

> The face-deprived monkeys and control monkeys were scanned by fMRI when they were six months old to measure their neural responses to faces and other visual stimuli.

> Control monkeys had face patches by the time they were six months old; the face-deprived monkeys did not. Patches for other visual categories that both sets of monkeys saw equally, such as hands and bodies, were roughly equivalent between the two groups.

Product market fit isn’t just building a cool product. It’s when that product meets an audience that values and pays for it.

Distribution IS part of a startup idea. It’s an essential ingredient. Don’t think about idea and distribution as separate things. If you can’t find your target audience to validate your idea with, you have an incomplete startup idea, by definition!

If you are unsure how to find your target audience today, building your product will not fix this problem. Speaking to real users should be a higher priority than building or planning features.

For advice on speaking to users I only recommend one short book - “The Mom Test”. In that book you will learn why “excitement” is a very misleading signal. There is a good reason why YC partners constantly recommend it.

The vaccinations both reduce the likelihood that you will get COVID, and the likelihood that you will end up requiring hospitalization. For example, while the Israeli study in another HN article found that two shots of the Pfizer vaccine is 39-41% effective against infection of the Delta strain, it is 91% effective at preventing serious illness and hospitalization.

The goal is to reduce the load on the healthcare system. Expanding ICU capacity to always support COVID peak would be expensive, both from the infrastructure and staffing perspectives.

Since the Delta variant is making kids sick, and we don't have a vaccine for kids who are 12 and under yet, we're going to see more kids end up in the ICU.

Also, the Delta variant is 2-3x as transmissible as the COVID strains we've seen before.

The claims that vaccines put evolutionary pressure on the virus to create more virulent strains don't seem that credible when you consider India is seeing new strains develop with a 6% vaccination rate.

A rebuttal would be that we should get vaccinated so we don't die while taking up scarce resources for no real reason.
