I keep telling myself I'm going to do this, but it becomes a huge pain in the ass. First I half to find a half dozen vendors to buy stuff from, because I like multifaceted projects, but no one else stocks all the pieces I need. Then I have to manage accounts across 6 different vendors, and put my credit card info in 6 different places.

Then once I've ordered, I have to track 6 different packages. If anything goes wrong, I have to track down which vendor, and how to contact them, and hope that they have a good policy of fixing things like this.

What we need is a replacement for Amazon. Federation could solve a lot of my pain points. Just give me an interface like Amazon that is connecting to hundreds or thousands of stores, where the orders are just dispatched to the store you ordered from. It doesn't fix shipping speeds, but it does give me:

a) a sane way to order from multiple stores

b) an easy means of tracking what I've ordered from all the stores

c) an easy way of tracking the shipping for packages I've ordered

d) a single point of entry when I know I want to buy something

Amazon cornered the market, not on prices, but on convenience. If we want them to stop being so dominant, that's where you want to kick them.
I’ve been able to hide the modal wall via the chrome DOM inspector (right click on parent element in markup view, click “hide element”). Not a great experience but if you really want to see a tweet it works.
Neither Elon Musk nor John Carmack are engineers, certainly not rocket engineers. Musk is a businessman, Carmack is a programmer. Both are world class in their respective fields.

But they are also pretty good at roleplaying engineers. I suggest watching the latest Tim Dodd videos when he tours Starbase with Elon Musk and you'll see Musk engineer character. No nonsense here, no Mars colonies or hyperloops, just the practical considerations of rocket building.

As for John Carmack, my preferred example is that short discussion with Elon Musk on Twitter. https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/536277962803650562

I think I read too much into deep. Certainly I'd expect any non-junior dev I work with to understand those concepts! But I wouldn't assume someone who published several papers on knot theory is any better at development that someone who hacked together a couple startup side-businesses, except in very very specific domains.
I personally use my PC as lab for building applications. I tend to run a bunch of VMs and one thing I am always short of is memory. CPU cores were more of a problem in the past but now there is a plenty of cores available. I am currently using 128GB and I would definitely wish more, but probably I wouldn't know what to do with 1TB.

But that doesn't mean there aren't others that may have different use cases.
There is also i.reddit.com, which is more mobile friendly than old.reddit.com.
I actually did, from a Reddit thread that guided me through the process step by step. I’m having trouble finding the exact link at the moment, but it starts with slowly breathing out the letter “Q”.

It’s not a loud, booming sound or anything, but I went from blowing soundless air for 20-odd years to actually whistling.
How long before your creditworthiness determines your eligibility to vote? Don't laugh, or Texas will find a way to use it! (as a Texan ashamed of current moves against voting)
That was my first instinct but I'm not sure it's actually true.

If my priority is to know about interesting topics so I can be informed on them when they take off then this is the right methodology. HN might be a bit inefficient in time, but this suggests that new tech trends will generally not arrive without having had some advance warning on HN. This is what I need - as a consultant it's useful to know what the client is talking about when they bring up something cutting-edge, and useful to know about cutting edge things to recommend as relevant.

I'm guessing it's kickflip, heelflip, bs shuv, and fs shuv.

Your definition leaves out varial heels and inward heels.

Edit: On second thought I'm still not sure, I saw this in the paper, and I'm guessing they're classifying both direction shuvs as the same, and kick/heelflip as the same

Below we list these four tricks with their corresponding residue class in Z/4Z.

0 ↔ Ollie

1 ↔ 180 Shove-it

2 ↔ 360 Shove-it

3 ↔ 540 Shove-it

Another interesting choice of representatives is given by a combination of the shove-it
and the kickflip.

0 ↔ Ollie

1 ↔ 180 Shove-it

2 ↔ Kickflip

3 ↔ Varial Kickflip
What I've noticed is a few of the newer things breaking on it (unsurprisingly). I think over time it'll get to a point where there's enough of these new things where they'll just pull the plug, which is really too bad. Also love it much more than the "new" experience.
A good exercise is to ask where the failure or fault was in this system. There will always be businesses looking for ways to cut costs. There will always be people with flexible ethics willing to exploit others for their own gain. There will ways be vulnerable people without options and unable to advocate for themselves. We must take that all as a given and still find a way to prevent these abuses.

It comes down to what we as a society permit via our laws and courts. If we do not do the hard work of building and maintaining a just society, it will not exist.
We would need masks for pets though, and wild deer…
I agree with you - As long as the barrier is genuinely complexity.

My issue is that Apple (and many other manufacturers, this isn't really Apple specific) add complexity solely to act as digital locks on what is otherwise a fairly obvious and achievable task.

Take your ROM example - Why should I even need to rip it off and replace it? I know damn well how to flash ROM. I have the software tools available. I have the image file with all the drivers I need/want. The only thing stopping me is digital locks in the device.

Are the locks themselves evil? No, clearly not - I lock my house when I leave, and I'll probably leave my phone locked most times too.

Are the locks evil if I don't own a key? Pretty clearly yes.

Can I rip the whole device apart, interface directly with the ROM, and flash it? Probably - assuming I buy some much more expensive hardware. But that sorta defeats the point of having the device, yes?

Just like it's not reasonable to sell me a car without a key.

- Congratulations - you own this brand new car you just bought!

- Great! Thank you so much, can I have the keys to drive it now?

- No, no... of course not. When you want to drive it, you phone us up, and we come unlock and start it for you

- Wait... what? That's bullshit - I just bought this car!

- Well, you're welcome to break a window and hotwire it to drive it. But do be aware we'll report this as theft to the police, and depending on what you tinker with we might also throw the DMCA at you
What are the chances this is the same person that allegedly secretly recorded a customer showering when acting as a Geek Squad technician in 2007? [1]

Well my company took initiative to supply ivermectin to all of their employees, to the point where it feels like a requirement to take it.

I don't know whether it's bad or not or if the boss consult with medical personnel first, but the dosage is strictly applied.

I treated it as medicine against worm, since it's been years since I took one, so I don't really mind that. Otherwise, I wouldn't take it.
Thank you so much, I love this. Going to try to make a Python script to automatically put links in it and run it.

My parents did a similar model with 3 other families in CO in the early 2000's. If the model works for you - great, but you don't need a VC backed startup to organize and manage it for you.

The key to these "co-share" models is liking your other partners in the LLC. Pacaso's model seems to restrictive and expensive for their target market.

4x64gb is already a lot of RAM for a consumer during the ddr5 generation. Even with a 16 core processor with SMT that's 8 GB each for 32 threads. Any larger and it starts to really hurt latencies that consumers actually vie for.

(Typical) servers however have no problem with memory latencies as long as you throw in more channels to compensate with bandwidth. They don't care if the primary task gets done asap they care that 1000 tasks can get done asap and that the db is all in ram.

Omnissiah or Machine Spirit.
You jest, but I find it easier to visually parse code organized using parentheses, quotes, commas, and brackets compared to code organized using parentheses, parentheses, parentheses, and parentheses. The latter approach is simple and elegant but makes it hard for me to read someone else's code.

I think the first reason is that the distinct characters provide a kind of visual checksum which makes me (slightly) more confident when initially matching a closing character to the correct starting character.

The second reason is that each character has a conventional meaning which makes it possible to form an initial guess as to its purpose.

Having said this, I freely admit this opinion may be colored by my only (paid) experience writing Lisp which was for a sprawling 20 year-old AI codebase mostly written by professors and graduate students who were often learning Lisp as they went.
For me, to make a timeshare-like thing work, I think I'd need to be the owner with someone taking the hassle out of renting out access parts of the year, and repackaging financing around that.

With respect to the toothbrush in your getaway spot, I sometimes wonder if there'd be a market for someone arranging picking up, storing and delivering luggage on demand.

E.g. I might give up on owning if I can pick a flat to rent in a region I'd like to keep coming back to, and step on a plane with no luggage, knowing that when I got there, a chest with whatever I left behind last time had been cleaned, packaged up and stored and brought to the next place.

Coming somewhere and having my clothes ready and waiting, and not have to thin about packing would be fantastic.

You can get people to handle forwarding of your stuff from home, but that's complex and expensive. Of you come back to the same area or city regularly, then storage for a cubic meter or so of luggage with local-ish pickup and delivery a few times a year might well be reasonably cheap to operate.
Are you familiar with cancel culture? Free speech does not apply in private companies. Post something stupid on the inter webs, and you will lose your job and have no recourse.

Where I live, there are various discounts on property taxes and transfer fees if you buy a house as an individual. If a corporation buys the same house, it pays much more. IMHO if this type of ownership isn’t desired, local governments just need to tweak the taxation to make it at least be much more expensive.
So, if I buy every share in one of these house LLCs, can I do what I will with the house? (I.E. ending the relationship with Pacaso, doing major renovation, changing the terms of the agreement).

If so, what happens if I just buy 51%?

It seems that the argument against being a timeshare is that it is structured in a legally different way, where Pacaso itself does not own the house anymore, they just collect a monthly fee similar to a condo association. This seems like really, the ultimate in rent-seeking. I'm going to sell something and force you to continue paying me for it, until you sell it to some other poor sucker.

It seems like the obvious move would be to acquire a controlling share and vote Pacaso out, then start issuing new shares with your controlling ownership to pay for maintenance fees or any other incidental costs of the house. Continue issuing shares until the other owners are diluted enough to own like, < 1 day a year, buy them out for cheap...

It seems like the only way for Pacaso to guard against this would be to retain a controlling ownership, at which point they are much closer to being a time-share.
If only there was a way to transmit my voice to the company to place the order.
Curious, any reason why you think it might be different later in life?

I think it just takes a lot of practice and patience

My father, an ex-Navy man, pointedly asked me once: “why do you want your own country to lose?” I don’t! I want us to be honest in our success, not smug while saying “if it isn’t illegal it must be OK!”.

I've also heard that the German banking system is much more geographically diverse, with many smaller banks giving business loans to businesses in their immediate geographic area. If that's still the case, it would make sense that there would be less concentration of capital and therefore entrepreneurship.

Every prediction I see is: a crash is coming but we know with 100% certainty that no one can predict when. It might be tomorrow or 3 years from now.

Framed that way, it's less a prediction than a statement of the cyclical nature of economies, but it can still grab headlines!
It seems like that could be solved by having a cleaning service visit between each stay to inspect the property and prepare it for the next guest.
> Of what? Vaccines?

You respond as if it they were all the same. No.

> It's like all of a sudden there's these spooky and mysterious "but what about the long term effects!1!" without any scientific justification.

Are you being serious?

Without studies about long term effects of anything, there is no information about long term effects of anything. The scientific justification for looking for long term effects is to look for long term effects, so we know if there are any!

Stop being unreasonable.

Wouldn't a better solution be to encourage more things built of wood? Cut the trees down and use them, while replacing with more.

E.g. Encourage more wooden houses and your not only capturing carbon but storing it separately so more can be captured in that same place.

While there are probably many better solutions, you would think whatever they are we need something that can continue to capture carbon ongoing. A forest, as great as they are for a plethora of reasons, is fairly finite in terms of carbon capture.
> Because it seems to me that the price difference is so large, sometimes by a factor of 10 or more

The approval process is O(1%) of the total cost of development.

> I also think if there were drugs that only exist because of high US drug prices that we would hear about them

Maybe. I've grown wary of reading too much into the relative popularity of different phrases and arguments; it turns out people are complicated and prone to prioritizing points you might not care about, and even when those arguments are being made they often get lost in the noise of 8B other people.

Humira probably isn't a bad example in any case (though without being inside a company it's hard to know for sure since you don't know if, e.g., they would have prioritized international approvals and sales if the US market couldn't be lucrative). Total international sales only eclipsed total R&D in the last few years, despite the drug having been around for a couple decades. I personally think the current level of price gouging for Humira in the US is excessive, but AbbVie would also have had to take a loss on it for nearly 20yrs without some level of price gouging somewhere.
>It's not even as bad as those landlords that run Airbnb flop houses.

The market I can see for Starlink has probably increased after 2020: affluent people living outside of major cities where internet service is spotty or slow.

If there is some real movement of people in office jobs now working 100% remotely moving to the countryside I can see how Starlink would be a good proposal. It's a small increase in internet costs with a much lower cost of living than in a city.

Of course second homes aren't essential.

But purchasing a second home still makes it a home; you'll still live in it some part of the year.

This article is about rotating out who is living in it, making it no different than short term rentals or timeshares from the community perspective, and that's what I'm referring to. People don't want homes being owned and operated as rental businesses in their neighborhoods; they want people living in their neighborhoods. As evidenced by the exclusion zones, HOAs, etc, mentioned in the article. This is an attempt to circumvent those. So, fundamentally different than partial ownership of a boat as compared to a rental of a boat; no one is objecting to renting a boat on the UK canals.

A common flaw I see with "Save our X" type campaigns is the lack of knowledge of the history of our places. We all tend to remember a place the way we first encountered it. And conversely we also tend to fetishize how people lived before us.

A short anecdote, I live in the PNW. There are plenty of places that are 3rd generation logging sites. I live in a neighborhood that since the 1800's was logged, homesteaded, reforested, logged again (possibly 2x?) and in the last 30-40 years has become an attractive semi-rural place to live. I've been in the area for about 20ish years, my partner her entire life. People who have recently come to the community and complain about new development don't understand the history of the place and that the homes they live in are new development to us. What they see as old growth forests are 50 year old sick and polluted monoculture tree stands that were abandoned by the forestry industry.

There is great depth to how humanity has impacted our planet and this article touches on some of it. It's easy to forget that humans bring change to places, even 5000+ years ago. I think your comment also points out some of the longer term impact humans have had. What state of planet earth are we trying to lock in? What are we trying to save? Humans are part of nature. How do we find balance to participating in the world?
