It was only within the past few decades that being a nerd stopped having social stigma and we became elevated to the social status of normal people. But we don't have any real power since lawyers still have a monopoly on that. They fill all the seats in congress, even though they're .5% of the population. They have the power to read our emails. But if you think about it, legal code is really just a primitive form of code that lacks the precision modern programming languages can provide. Modern code has so much more benefit to offer the public, like things happening in microseconds whereas previously you'd have to wait weeks and pay thousands of dollars in fees. So the transition to the newer better technology where legal code is executable and written by nerds is inevitable, but people with power are afraid of losing their power, so it'll take time for society to evolve. Each time the lawyer ruling class does something bad, like build a website that doesn't work, they'll need to give us a little more power in order to save them. Then eventually, we'll win.

This! Since people have limited time, if HN leads more more often then not on some tech goose chase, then it doesn't matter if some tech trend is mentioned early on HN and has interest.

But ultimately what makes something successful is investment in that thing in both time and money. HN is very VC heavy tech crowd and of course it should lead in trends where VC tech crowd creates out of pure effort and money.

Telsa and 3D printing is an interesting example. If it isn't strictly a digital good, HN might not be ahead given the audience.
I have use multiple phones with Indian sim card with no shutter sound.
Yep. I've noticed a couple apps that recently updated suddenly wanted to scan the network. One arguably, if you squint, might have had a legitimate reason; the other obviously didn't.

I assume some surveillance library recently changed to start asking for it, but am not sure.

I deleted both and realized it has been a while since I've watched my phone over an intercepting proxy; time to sweep for bugs again.
You have been infected with Coronavirus before.

Coronavirus causes the common cold, and has been around for at least 10,000 years. [0]

Covid is extremely dangerous in kids.

No it's not. Death rates are less than 1 in 50,000. Death and hospitalization rates are similar to the dangers of the flu or RSV or riding in a car. It's a 100X less dangerous than owning a pool. It's the type of risk we have to be able to live with. And as for long covid, I don't have the study on hand, but there was a study where there was no difference months later in symptoms like fatigue or runny nose in kids that had covid versus did not have covid.

Okay, so your child gets covid isn't vaccinated and you end up finding out when they are in their mid-20s that they are developing some sort of a brain disorder that was brought on by long covid that we are completely unaware of because we don't know what's going to happen with this.

Or maybe they get vaccinated but the vaccine causes some prion disease that does not show up for 10 years. Or maybe a new mutant strain causes ADE in the vaccinated. Life is full of dangerous, speculative unknowns unknowns. But worrying about this kind of speculative, zero-evidence risks is the route to hypochondria.

I don't want anyone to get covid....Yeah we could have an entire year or two of no social encounters or deprived extroverts but think long-term on how we could have a whole slice of humanity that's getting this virus that is basically just messing up how their DNA is going to unfold how all of their proteins are going to unfold basically turning into a whole new research sector.

Based on current U.S. government policy, why is it going to just be a year or two? It's already been a year and a half. What is going to change to make covid magically go away? It's not going away, covid is endemic. You either will have to isolate and wear P100 masks for the rest of your life, or you will get exposed to covid eventually.
If something looks useful, I'll sign up day one. Even if it doesn't pan out. That's how you get early adopter status. Found out about: Figma, Airtable, Stripe, Coinbase, Robinhood, Alpaca. All through HN posts ;)
Remote work was definitely a trend, the pandemic just accelerated it.

Edit: for those downvoting, here’s the data:

Almost 10 years in. One 10% promotion. The new policy at my company is set at 7% raise for promotions.

The funny thing is, they unofficially expect a 13% increase in working hours for that 7% raise, which actually turns out to be a rate cut to fill a role with more responsibilities and expectations.

What platform do you use it on? My default install has a GTK menu bar, tool bar and scrollbars, as well as windows that can be resized by mouse.
Sadly this seems to be the trend of the last few years, that hardware is locked down and you sometimes have to use exploits to have full control over your device
T-Mobile US's LG devices came with unlockable bootloaders as well, but that only helps if someone develops a ROM for it. Even then, more and more important functionality is getting locked behind closed doors. On my Stylo 5, it's not the camera, it's VoLTE. What good is it to run a custom ROM if I can't make and receive phone calls?

Seems like a "modernized" approach to timeshares, likely targeted towards cosmopolitan millennials. But I could be missing something.
Oh boy, I'm huge into trees and boy could I talk about this. Not cutting down trees is way more lucrative than cutting down trees. You can only cut a tree down once, but you can not cut it down as many times as you like. And then, once you're done not cutting it down, you can cut it down and sell it to a sawmill.
I believe the low quality low hanging fruits of my life are being slowly squeezed out by stupid corporate and government policies.

But it’s a glass half full for those aware and able to see it for what it is.

The end game is me sitting under a tree somewhere with a picnic in the middle of nowhere with someone I have a genuine connection with and no technology at hand.
Yes! Wet cat food is so unpleasant to deal with, despite being arguably much healthier than kibble. IIRC, since cats prefer to get their fluids from food rather than drinking water from a bowl, wet food goes a long way in preventing dehydration and associated kidney issues.

I guess the reason we've never seen a wet food dispenser is that the only thing worse than cleaning gross wet food residue from a bowl is cleaning it from an overengineered electric dispenser.
I still don't know how to balance avoiding sun damage, vs vitamin D deficiency (more sun). LMAO.
InitWare (systemd fork) runs on macOS for the first time
I agree with this point. It's hard to know if the OP is talking about title progression, or growth in the same role. Without knowing your organization, I can't say whether or not people are perceiving growth as having to take on management responsibilities?

If we're talking about growth as individual contributor, above comment is on the mark. There are still ways to grow as an engineer. Broader knowledge, deeper knowledge, reflecting on how to improve things, how to better connect the work to customers and the business, etc.

But, as their manager, you can help them tease it apart potentially even advocating for changes to the IC/technical track within the company?
Everytime that comment is referenced, people forget that the rest of comments were mostly positive plus constructive criticism or challenges they'd face.
I do not know how many, but I do not remember that being a popular position. If I recall, the simple answer to someone proposing that was “we will see when they start testing outside of pristine Arizona/California weather.”

> Germany masked, distanced, and locked down better than anyone could expect, and here they are sitting with 4 million cases, 100k dead and are still in the pandemic.

There was never going to be an "easy" way to combat this pandemic, and experts have been quite clear about this from the beginning. A really successful strategy would have required a careful combination of several types of interventions, close monitoring of the situation as well as fast and effective adjustments to policies, and probably also a certain dose of luck.

Germany did a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong (though in certain instances, people might reasonably disagree about which is which), and Germany was also a bit lucky that we had many hospital beds and a social structure that is maybe a bit less conducive to infections (fewer inter-generational households). I think that Germany did well enough to avoid the worst effects of the pandemic (hospitals never got to the situation where they were fully overwhelmed, although it seemed close a few times) due to somehow people getting their shit together at the last minute every time, but I'm certain that a strategy with fewer deaths and less economic damage would have been possible.

The main problem that I see in Germany is that the government (or governments, if we include the regional ones) never had a real plan on what to do. Such a plan doesn't need to be inflexible, it can react to different situations and new scientific evidence, but it still should have been possible to establish some basic principles instead of stumbling through this pandemic almost blindly.

As an effect, we went into (more or less restrictive) lockdowns several times that prevented the worst, but a combination of other measures could have had a better impact: going into stricter, but shorter, lockdowns instead of months of weird "semi-lockdowns" with tons of exceptions (a lot of time was wasted especially last Summer), finding better solutions for schools and universities (such as better tools for remote teaching, and air filters), buying vaccines earlier, forcing employers to allow people to work from home (this was done eventually, but much too late — this was basically only because the industry lobbied hard enough, while at the same time, restaurants and museums had to close down completely), allowing certain lower-risk activities during the lockdown (such as outside terraces for restaurants), etc.

I'm not saying that all of these things would have worked, but we certainly could have tried more (or, in certain cases, earlier).
If you get caught smoking on a train, they can put you on a list of people banned from buying tickets. Very simple; no credit scoring required.

Presumably being on such a blacklist will actually influence individual credit scores once they get rolled out nationwide, but unless I somehow missed the announcement, that hasn't happened yet.
I thought this quote from the CEO of Moderna was interesting : "mRNA is like software: You can just turn the crank and get a lot of products going into development."

But you don't understand. If we do a large scale climate control project:

1) we will make some things worse (just like returning to pre-industrial climate would). From roads in France, life in Eastern Europe/Russia, destruction of trade through the "Northwest passage", ... Some 100's of people will freeze to death in Brussels, London and Paris and most of Western Europe every winter once again if climate return to pre-industrial levels.

I wonder if the few thousand I-needed-heat-so-got-a-fire-I-fucked-it-up-and-got-carbon-monoxide-poisoning deaths will return too. On the one hand we don't use coal anymore. On the other hand with enough stupidity (and leaving something bad on top of it) you can still get even an electric heater to give you carbon monoxide poisoning.

2) it's a project done by someone. So someone will have responsibility. Whoever actually acts will be vilified endlessly for the inevitable negative consequences. Such as those people freezing to death.

3) it will have unforeseen consequences. In other words: despite climate "proof" implying models are complete ... they aren't. There will be big surprises.

4) Nature is good and great and Gaia will save us! We are killing people's belief in nature and/or God by fixing problems by interfering in Nature on a large scale. They will fight any and all attempts to interfere at all just for that reason.

5) it won't stop most of the changes underway. We are in an interglacial. Temperature is rising, just way too fast. But it should be rising. Getting CO2 to pre-industrial levels leaves most or all of the changes we've already seen intact. In a practical example, that means every cubic meter a glacier loses is gone until the next ice age. Ice sheets will grow back more, but not to the levels 100 years ago. Pre-industrial climate generally won't make them grow back.

6) what's to stop some countries from using Climate change as a weapon if they control climate change infrastructure?

So it doesn't really matter that we know of many ways to influence and take control of the climate, and that it's becoming ever clearer we want to do so. The problems are political, even psychological, not scientific (although more research into it would help with more options)
If you tamper with the device it's your responsibility, innit? It's not like they disabled a properly functioning device that uses the original firmware with an OTA update.
It's funny - because we ALSO have folks posting on HN upset that things like tiktok want multi-cast permissions / local device discovery.

In particular, the author complains about "prostrating" themselves, when they actually want to write apps that would run on ANY users device that could have relatively serious privacy implications because instead of providing a specific service they want to do a wildcard discovery.

> So, Instead of convenience I now have to hunt for some urls somewhere.

Well yes.. but usually that is true for npm packages as well when one search for documentation or source code.

> Deno is not a browser

It tries hard to immitate the browser context and does so very successfully IMO.

> From development point of view having to hunt down urls "in slack messages" is a nightmare.

Well, that was just an example. I am just pointing out the concept of decentralization. You don't have to be reliant on npm and their systems.

> In which manner? How does Deno know that a dependency X lives at url Y that was posted in a Slack channel somewhere?

Since each dependency is an url, it will fetch all deps and download them in order to cache it. Pretty much how npm works as well, except that npm in reality only fetches from the npm registry even if I think it's possible to add github repos to the package.json.

You also don't need a package.json which is great especially for smaller scripts.

> Developers arguing that package management is bad is a new thing to me.

It's not inherintly bad. I personally prefer to not be reliant on an american mega corporation which is known for it's anti-competitive practices and woke agenda. Their interest will certainly not align with mine.

> How am I free to change it if a package I depend on specifies it dependency at a url x, and that package's dependencies specify them at url Y

Well in that specific case you would need to download the entire tree and host it yourself. Then you can change the url.

I mean, if you're happy with node and npm. Continue to use it. You don't have to switch to Deno but I am convinced it's the future for server side javascript. It's just... nicer in general.
It's useless in the sense that by itself it sounds scary, but might actually represent a significant achievement in terms of performance compared to the baseline. Or not. In either way though it is being implicitly compared and so is useless for making an explicit connection.
I suppose. Maybe I missed a part where they say they're using a regular stance skater for the sake of simplicity.

Note that a goofy skater could also do the moves described in the paper, but it would be a different trick because he's doing it switchstance.

(Source: the rules of SKATE per Battle of the Berrics, the skater has to declare his stance ahead of time for the purposes of normal vs switch tricks, aka the "Skategoat" (Leandre Sanders) rule)
It's a high trust process in a high trust society. Assuming that most people are honest, it works out well. Verification bogs down the process and may discourage people from applying. Clever fraudsters can probably pass that anyway.

In reply to your first point, the original article discusses credit score, which does not use income in any way. You're talking about applying for loans, which use a credit score and other factors to determine credit worthiness. My points are relevant to the credit score only.

Consider the fact that conflating credit score to credit worthiness (respectfully, as your reply does) as the biggest indicator of the brokenness.
On second thought this is a good point. I think of it as mathy stuff being very deep, while humanities stuff is very broad. So you can stick your feet in the math end of the pond and not reach the bottom, but wherever you stick your feet in in humanities, you'll get it, but you can still wade a long way to places you haven't been.
Well, according to this thread, democracies are not universal because people will die too.

The question about democracy is wether democracy can ensure it's population does not go wrong way to vote in wrong people. Or does it need an oversight to make sure the society stays on track to be fit for a democracy? But if society needs an oversight, is it truly a democracy?
As someone who has worked on exclusively remote teams for around 7 years, the pandemic accelerated the trend. It was already very much headed in that direction.

Maybe related but as a contractor I've noticed that working with EU clients there's so much posturing, pretend professionalism, suit and tie kind of guys throwing around titles, red tape etc. US clients are way more casual and to the point.
> people who have a genuine interest in constantly keeping their skills up to date.

These (wanting to progress to completely different duties vs improving your skills in your current role) are orthogonal though. I don't mind learning a new language every week or whatever it might be. What's being discussed isn't someone who isn't willing to learn new skills. It's about not completely wanting to change career paths (e.g. Engineering into management).
Chain is indeed a wear item. It costs tens of dollars to replace.

$1000 groupsets simply don't deteriorate in the manner you describe. Source: I rode many thousands of kilometers on my gravel/adventure bike, including a 1000km ride around Kenya (very dusty, rocky roads where there are roads). The only two groupset components I needed to replace on this 2016 bike so far were the derailleur hanger and a jockey wheel. The former got bent due to carelessness on my part and could have been straightened, but I chose to replace it for structural reasons. The bearing in the latter got a little sticky and so I replaced the jockey wheel.

Each of the two parts cost the equivalent of US$15 here in the UK.

I think this is a very long way from replacing the entire $1000 groupset, which was what the post I was replying to suggested.
As easy as it is to mock these guys for re-inventing timeshares, it does pose interesting legal questions on...

Nope, no, sorry, I really am trying to come up with a substantive discussion point, but this is literally just timeshares. Timeshares do have value if you truly want to spend your vacation every year in the same place at the same time, but that is such a rare desire that most people end up avoiding them like the plague.

I'm not seeing anything of interest here at all from a business perspective, just a few people re-hashing old ideas and ticking off their neighbors.
It’s not a blindspot for many people. It’s open source and open protocols vs closed source spyware. SCP is far better than Dropbox if you value privacy for instance.

A lot of resistance to things like Dropbox come from the experience of being screwed over by closed source software. If you look at the state of Dropbox today, those initial comments look pretty spot on.
Ok, but can I buy one of these? I would pay money for a cat magic window that's not even my cat!
This is a good start. It does not do much to answer the question of "predicting" trends. You would need to quantify false positives somehow. That is, tech that is big on HN but not elsewhere. I'm thinking of all the JS frameworks of the day, for one. For instance, Meteor JS was the bees knees for awhile.
For one, it requires the inmates to have been convicted of a crime. (Not that I consider that to be just either, for the record.) What the article describes is likely a violation of the US constitution in at least some of the cases.
It does make sense until renewable power, cleaner manufacturing tech and electric vehicles are able to replace the polluters. Would have been easier if more nuclear plants were ready to go.
Yes, I have 10 years in SV and I if I moved back to Stockholm my compensation would be approx 1/5 of what I have now. It’s ridiculous.
The reason I'm keen about pseudonyms is because by detaching real-world identities from credit requirements, we can greatly improve access to finance.

If new pseudonyms are treated with extreme suspicion then so be it, but there should be a way for the pseudonym to progress from there solely through transactional behavior.

Even if the amount of credit the market becomes comfortable with through this scheme is $100, that could make a big difference in developing countries.
$70M ARR with 7 salespeople. Does that imply each salesperson brought in $10M of revenue? Or is there a further nuance?
Just to be clear, my criticism is of the credit score metric, which I feel is disproportionately depended upon for credit worthiness. A credit score does not take into account income.
