> "service economy" was always a meme being sold to the gullible masses, manufacturing capacity is the only thing that matters for an economy.

Service economies work great in places where food and housing are free, so money is only needed to buy luxury goods. They only work poorly in the US because capitalists have leverage over service workers.
I also want to highlight the need for not just open software but open data as well.

>In this model crypto is like ... an emergent antipattern of networked civilization, where the network starts to waste every economic resource that it can "see" and provably waste.

Exactly. As I've said to a number of people I've discussed crypto with, I'm happy to advocate for making PoW systems illegal. They'll happily gobble up a Dyson sphere of energy and a solar system of hardware in service of running a payment system with a tiny fraction of the throughput of any credit card company or bank.

They are a complete waste of resources, energy, and human endeavor and society would be better off without them. I'll reserve judgement on PoS and other non-PoW systems until they're more widespread and I actually understand them better.
I've thought about the same kind of thing. I registered Dirigibuilding.com several years ago because of it.

One of the best things I see about dirigibles vs other aircraft is that volume is plentiful. Because you want to minimize weight vs size, larger rooms are better. I imagine a floating mansion rather than a floating van.

> you may have to put aside some preconceptions to get the point.

"Preconceptions" is a rather unhelpful way to describe the actual situation here, which is you using a different definition for real numbers, that is not even remotely equivalent, without making that clear from the outset.

You said:

> But there is a countable list that DOES include every possible real - you just can't always figure out whether things on that list are reals!

Which is pretty clearly incorrect using the usual definition of real numbers.

The fact that you don't like how real numbers is usually defined is not sufficient justification for you to start confusing a discussion by mixing in your alternative definition without making an explicit distinction.

You've defined a set that can certainly be the subject of interesting investigation, even in a context where the usual definitions about real numbers and uncountable infinities are still accepted. Choosing to inject a naming conflict is counterproductive and suggests you're more concerned with making smug claims about being able to do things mainstream mathematicians consider impossible, rather than having a productive discussion about how to construct most of familiar mathematics without allowing uncountable infinities.
Everyone's security is awful, as the penalty for failure is less than the expense required to make it secure. Until the former becomes higher the latter will guarantee insecurity rules.
Thanks. I noticed Bellman's book in a local bookstore; what do you think of it as an intro?
I don't really feel like there's much quantity, either, though. The stuff they're doing is just so very stylistically homogenous.

I guess it's down to how you frame it? Some people see 100 different flavors of ice cream. I see 100 different flavors of chocolate ice cream. Both perspectives are accurate. Which one is more useful to you perhaps depends on how much you like chocolate ice cream.
I mean you can disagree with me, no problem with that. I would bet I have more knowledge about shipping major search engines than you do. I have worked extensively on both Bing and Google's search engines and now work on a third very large (O(exobytes)) search engine. 7-10 years is a really aggressive estimate IMO for something like Google or Bing, and I gave that estimate because I don't think people would believe my "realistic" estimate, even for Apple.

They could buy another search engine, but again getting Duck Duck Go to scale Google scale and relevance is still honestly a massive project.

I think they would risk losing people to Android phones as well. If tech-illiterate people suddenly start seeing that the "search engine" in Apple is terrible compared to Android they could lose customers. Better to just keep taking money, have a great search experience, and focus on other things.

Unvaccinated people are still allowed to interact and be in public places where 'they' are a threat, and where vaccinated people are too -- to them.

So, no -- I do not have to accept the hypothetical, strawman consequences that you fantasize about.
As much as the title "doesn't work" is true, it's also just a choice between two things: either you have market rents in a city and you accept that only rich people live there.
Or you have rents controlled and a black market, long queues etc - but you have some chance of not gentrifying the city entirely. Neither of these is attractive. Neither really "works".

While there could be an effect on construction, the area where there is a lack of supply is central Stockholm, which is also of course an area where you can't possible build any significant number of new houses because there simply isn't any land.

Market rents could be a very good idea in some smaller cities where there is a shortage of supply because rents are controlled at a too low level, but at the same time there is land available to build on. In central Stockholm, one could remove the queue over night if rents tripled - but it wouldn't create any supply and therefore not address the underlying problem.
I don't know if this is still the case, but in the past when I changed a line to a different SIM on T-Mobile an alert about the SIM change was texted to me, on the new SIM. :/

It didn't inspire much confidence in me regarding their security practices
Would the government banning subletting for a premium rate on leases going forward not be a good start? (where subtenancy leases signed from today onward be considered legally invalid).
My issue with renting has always been the ridiculous upselling for quality. Advertise 4.99 for a movie, but oh, you don't want the "standard definition" that hasn't been standard since 1996? Well then it's 8.99.

Edit: Just gave Play Movies another chance and it looks like perhaps they've finally stopped doing this.

"As of August 26th, 2021 Yahoo India will no longer be publishing content."

https://in.help.yahoo.com/kb/account/SLN35842.html?impressio...

Effective August 26, 2021, we have ceased publication of content in India and have shut down Yahoo's content operations in the country. The content offerings closed include Yahoo News, Yahoo Cricket, Finance, Entertainment and MAKERS India.

We did not come to this decision lightly. However, Yahoo India has been impacted by changes to regulatory laws in India that now limit the foreign ownership of media companies that operate and publish digital content in India.

Yahoo has had a long association with India and we're really proud of the premium, local content we have provided our users here for the last 20 years. Once again, thank you for your support and trust in our brand.

I'm also free to give all of my money away to the poor, but that's not going to help solve poverty in any major way because my influence on society as an individual is limited. There can be a much greater benefit in coercing everyone to follow a rule that isn't realised by allowing individuals to choose something.
That's up to your distro technically. DNS queries that use glibc (so everything basically) parse /etc/nsswitch.conf and follow the path of NSS modules which can do whatever they want to produce a name.

The resolve module provided by systemd talks to systemd-resolved but the dns module parses /etc/resolv.conf and does the resolution itself.

Show HN: Build This Simple Wire-Twisting Tool
When soldering 0.1" ribbon cables, e.g. for a guitar pedal, the wires get frayed and you can't simply twist them to straighten them out because they're so close together. So I invented this simple wire-twister based on a shish kebab stick!

It only takes 5 minutes. You drill a skinny hole, e.g. 0.6mm in one end, then use a countersink to make a cone around the hole. Then you can twist individual wires and they fit right into PCBs!

"Speech" is a really shitty interface element for computing. We don't even really talk about the same things when speaking of "speech" between humans or "speech" to a machine.

The audio portion alone is incomplete, even voice communication between two humans over say a radio channel is fraught with misunderstandings, even in the face of special mitigating rituals like phonetic alphabets.

The desire to speak to our computers is a small part of a wish for our computers to be more human, or at least, more alive; which is just a continuation of psychological hangups evinced in classic works like "Frankenstein" and "Maximum Overdrive".
That part isn't necessarily related to the human rights (though there is the matter of data being carried off to where-ever is liked, which counts IMO), but a suggestion that they are trying to use a little bit of good news (less pop-ups) to distract from bad news, of which there is a lot ATM:

- Bad decisions wrt handling the Afghanistan situation

- The potential weakening of workplace safety laws (starting with the relaxation of rules for lorry drivers, so they can be worked harder to fill the current gap instead of pay/conditions improving to attract more workers) and other employee protections post brexit

- ...

It is not unlike the tampon tax thing. They made a big deal about those no longer being subject to VAT on “brexit day” when in fact that had been agreed by the EU more than two years earlier and could have been implemented there and then (so women kept paying the extra for that time just so the government could claim a cheap win at the end of that part of the process).
Interesting. US doctors who billed for Lyme disease were called quacks until recently, and some had their billings denied. Yet now there's a vaccine. Hmmm.

Having been on the PR and PA agency side of things, comments like yours are vastly overestimating the agencies' capabilities and incentives.

Are you, as a senior consultant, going to sell your team's time to a client at £750 an hour per person to astroturf on reddit? How do you plan on quantifying the benefits, vs the same budget going to the same team to influence traditional media and lobbying?

Heck I'd love to know any half-decent agencies that offer these services.
There are few mechanisms through which rent control can hurt.

Rent control discourages building more units. The more you can make from rental, the more companies will invest in new construction projects.

Rent control can decrease efficiency of living situations. You can imagine an old woman living alone in a 3 bedroom unit with rent control because it would be more expensive for her to move to a smaller unit. Or someone who gets a new job far from their current rent-controlled apartment but won't move out because the rent is so much cheaper.
The problem here is that if there was one single company that wanted to exit the standard approach and create less engaging content they would be more likely to fail.

The companies that are creating content which optimises to the most engaging content will drown out the one "healthy" one.

Disk space is cheap, particularly when we're talking about libs that consume a few hundred kb each.

On the other hand, software distributions should continue to rely on shared libraries, for their own software, but third-party compiled apps that are intended to be cross-distro/cross-arch should try to bundle as much as possible.

This is why I prefer /opt over /usr/local for third-party compiled apps.

I am always in favor of programs which make education more accessible and straightforward. I've never used your platform, but it seems like it's a move in that direction.

I know that YC has also funded Lambda School, which offers a data science course, but their payment model is based primarily on ISAs. Did you consider ISA payment plans, and if so, why did you go with the flat fee? If not, do you think you would want to move to an ISA payment system as you scale?

Congratulations on the launch and best of luck!
I had a consumer subscription platform with ~12k paying users from 2016 until July 2021.

I chose the stack I knew best that allowed me to iterate the fastest, and that was Rails.

I wouldn't have chosen anything else because using what I knew best allowed me to have less time playing guessing games with my stack and more time talking to customers.

It wasn't the fastest for my use case, and there were times where I hit some bottlenecks in terms of IO, but that was solved with scaling hardware — cheap, in comparison to learning an entire new stack.

It will go down as with any unconstrained leader figure: at some point they'll have some stupid idea (see; the great leap forward, cultural revolution) and no one is there to stop them. And of course there will be purges. Never forget about the purges. In the end, all that's left in the leadership hierarchy will be survivalist spit-lickers with barely any expertise besides in clinging to power and in not being purged.

> but that comes with the obvious drawbacks of having a higher barrier to entry.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Many governments even raise the barrier of entry artificially for dangerous activitys by requiring licenses or training to operate heavy machinery, handle dangerous chemicals, install electricity etc. Using technology sometimes requires knowledge about the inner workings so users will not accidentally hurt others or themselves. Imo developers shouldn't infantilize users but give them tools to work with. Of course this naturally works better with FLOSS since there (more often than not) is no monetary incentive to get absolutely everyone on to use it.
I can conform this, because I want through the same process.

I don't know if this is actually a good argument, but the way I view it is they're willing to give out the content for free to many sources, but then restrict it fairly arbitrarily. For example I'll often get paywalled based on the specific device or browser I'm using, which is basically just nonsense in my view. If they're giving the content away for free to archive.is, google caches, etc. I don't really feel bad looking at one of the places they willing give it away to.
They could actually paywall the content fully, and some sites do this like the Financial Times. For those, I just don't read their paywalled articles and move on with my life, but for the sites that do give the content away for free sometimes I don't really have a problem. I also do subscribe to some sites that I find particularly valuable where I want to read the truly paywalled content.
I think it would be more like piracy if they actually restricted the content and someone who paid for it was re-sharing it. Curious to hear alternative views as well though, as I said I don't actually know if this is a reasonable argument.

My dream is to use carbon capture as 1/3 of a full plan to fix climate change. Once you have the carbon, rather than pumping it into the ground, I would love to use off-shore nuclear reactors to convert it into gasoline. It might sound a little strange to turn it into something which is just going to get burned, but I firmly believe carbon neutral gasoline and natural gas which was cheaper than drilled would drop carbon emissions much faster than anyone can afford to sequestrate it.
There is an interesting discussion to have around whose behaviour is of an higher priority and/or which group has more blame, but regardless of that individuals can still contribute.
If your first paragraph is about rejected energy, then there's not a lot to say here except that rejected energy doesn't mean what you think it does.

If not, then I don't know what it is supposed to be about. No one builds power plants in places where there is no demand for power. Electric power can be carried over pretty large distances though with very low losses, so having say a few hundred km between a hydro-dam and a large consumer is not a major problem.

According to your post the best result would be that Bitcoin farms are powered by renewable energy plants build in places where nobody would have any use for that power anyway, because they're too remote to connect to any consumer. Even if this happens (and from what we're able to tell, it is not, instead we see coal and natural gas plants being ramped up to power bitcoin farms), it's still a net negative because building renewable energy power plants (as well as bitcoin farms) causes a significant amount of emissions. In normal use of e.g. a solar panel, this makes sense because it displaces non-renewable energy sources with higher emissions, so net emissions are reduced. In your scenario, there's a bunch of solar farms in the middle of the Saharan desert mining bitcoins, which - at this point - yes would not be able to displace non-renewable energy, but still represents a net-negative regardless because of the effort required to put all that shit there in the first place.

The simple fact of the matter is that there is no free lunch and there is NO ecological way of randomly wasting energy.
