The big money. Basically it is all the same, from Medium to Roblox, who builds the biggest hole for user generated content wins. Recently I read on HN, one blogger was happy that is not self-hosting and shared that there is no way to have discovery without a big platform as Medium.

As a sole investor you can't in modern day value stocks more accurately than their current market cap.

Any difference in valuation you come up with compared to the market cap would simply mean that there's something missing in your calculations that makes up the difference, as the stock and its market cap is coming from thousands of times more complicated methods for valuing the stock than whatever few metrics you were able to consider.

Essentially by using some sort of method to value a stock, you can only fool yourself to think that you know what you are doing and are skilled beyond luck. Because you are competing against institutions with state of the art tools, researchers and experience.

People bring this point up every time C++ is criticized, but no, not all C++ shortcomings come from its age. In fact, most of the shortcomings it is criticized for today are new. The committee just keeps on adding new ones: initialization (mentioned by another reply to my comment), std::optional & std::variant (UB), concepts[1], std::thread (good luck debugging where the std::thread which crashes your program in a destructor came from), std::random_device()() being allowed to return 0 every time (which e.g. won't show up when you compile for your own machine, but will when you cross-compile) and probably many others which I don't remember off the top of my head.

But back to the point, my original comment wasn't about C++ being a bad choice. It was about STL. You can use C++ without STL. I pointed to one alternative: abseil.

I put my Netflix on hold all the time. If it was hard, I’d cancel forever.

Not sure what the OP is talking about with the Apple system. There is a Subscriptions section in your Apple ID.

But I like going through Apple because it’s all in one place and the content provider has no chance to try and dark patterns on me. Even if the Apple subscriptions is a slightly worse experience, if I can get all my subscriptions in one place and have the ability to cancel at will I’m going to chose that.

I can’t imagine what kind of minor benefit I’d get from using multiple cards and different subscriptions that would make it worth more than easy management.
If it's a pain to unsubscribe you'd think about it before subscribing again.

There is also people that might be put off if the process is notorious for being unfriendly or cumbersome

How much this affects subscriber numbers is a different story altogether.

9/11 changed architecture and urban design forever
Which has never been standard until it became commonplace. And it only became commonplace in the past 10 years or so.

Just to quote Wikipedia:

== start quote ==

CdTe and CIGS solar cells contain cadmium, a toxic heavy metal with a tendency to accumulate in the food chain. Solder used in installation also contains lead. Leftover PV panels can contaminate soil, as it happened in 2013 when US-based Solyndra solar farm bankrupted leaving broken panels on site. IRENA 2016 study estimated the amount of PV waste at 78 millions tons by 2050...

A 2021 study by Harvard Business Review indicates that by 2035 the discarded panels will outweigh new units by a factor of 2.56 and cost of recycling a single PV panel by then will reach $20-30, which would increase the LCOE of PV by a factor 4.

== end quote ==
This is where regulation should step in.
If this turns out to be true I wonder if it'd be practical (given the financial resources) to have pressure sealed rooms that you spend a lot of time in at home (e.g. your office). These could be precisely controlled (O2, CO2 levels, pressure, …) and possibly both increase current and future performance. The main problem seems the time needed to exit because an abrupt loss of pressure would be hazardous. But if you have a well-structured day it might work. This could be very interesting for high earning knowledge workers imo.

Just because you can't rely on the compiler to tell you, doesn't mean memory errors exist. There's this weird idea Rust programmers have that since C++ doesn't force you to write less performant code by bowing down to a borrow checker that isn't smart enough to handle e.g. single threaded futures and locking properly, that it is IMPOSSIBLE to write memory safe C++ code.

A piece of code without memory errors is, by definition, memory safe. This whole idea of "every piece of code has bugs" is some new-wave tripe coming out of code camps and the web development scene.
> The great thing about being a permabear is that eventually you are right.

No guarantees. Even if a significant crash in the future happens, there's no guarantee it would even remotely reach the level we are at now.

I'm not saying "this time it's different", I'm saying it's always possible that "this time it's different".
These pitfalls really aren't that bad. An extra copy here and there only matters in the tight loops. Some of the examples in the talk are really contrived. Am I going to insert the empty string many times as a string in a hash map? No, in most cases I am going to make sure that almost all of the keys that I generate are different. Sure, google can save on its electricity bill by doing micro-optimizations. For me trying that would be a bad trade.

Every language has its pitfalls and I tend to prefer C++ pitfalls to some other pitfalls. Lately I having been doing some python. Turns out a python -m venv is different from a virtualenv. Turns out pytest some/specific/test/file.py is different from python -m pytest some/specific/test/file.py. I am wishing quite hard this code base consisted of all C++. And of course mypying this is still on the TODO list so the type annotations that are there might well lie.

IMO browser is a tool, just like operating system. The ultimate praise of a tool is "it works". For browser this means rendering every web page correctly, and for OS this means working on every hardware configuration correctly.

So if we already have a working tool, why do we want to spend the redundant work to invent more tools that solves the same problem, or to maintain the other tools so they are all standard-compliant?

Of course, it's a different story if the existing tool is monopolized by a commercial company. But Chrome is open sourced, and there is a committee steering the future Web standards.

So imo we don't need another Chrome, just like we don't need another Linux.

> WTF why porting a project to a memory unsafe language

Because proper handling of memory is actually quite easy to achieve in C++ assuming you're doing all the right things. We also have great tooling for this a la sanitizers and valgrind.

Also, C and C++ remain to be more performant than Rust in the general case, and don't require rewriting everything into a completely different paradigm.
There was a tool called PulseEffects that provided a lot of useful audio effects for PA, but when PW got more stable the author dropped support for PA in favor of PW, and the name was also changed to EasyEffects.

> But a couple points strikes me as not accurate

I'm talking about my personal experience with Apple subscriptions. Maybe I am remembering something inaccurately, but that doesn't really matter. The only thing that matters is that I prefer other companies payment systems, and I really don't like that Apple tries to force their service that I don't want on me.

> On macOS it's under System Preferences -> Apple ID -> Media and Purchases -> Subscriptions: [Manage...] button.

I just tried that, and it didn't work. Just showed a spinner for a minute, and then opened the App Store home screen. Everything related to Apple ID is slow and unreliable for me, I don't know why they don't just have a simple web interface like every other company. (On a second attempt it worked.)

> Hm. That's odd. Apps could be pretty deceptive and even outright scummy, but at least on iOS the system payment UI (the one where you have to double-tap the power button) was always very clear about how much and when exactly it would charge me.

The system UI was accurate. The button before was not. For some reason I thought that the system UI showed the price AFTER the trial, so I confirmed the payment, thinking I could still cancel it for two weeks.

Even twenty years ago, nicotine was so vilified (for good reason probally) scientists didn't do non-biased studies.

I remember Dr. Dean Edell always yacking about this.

(antidotally--I have know smokers, who didn't eat much, never seemed to get sick. My best friend of twenty years never got sick. I used to say, you smoke 4-5 packs/day. I don't get it. I even had him go in to check his Coronary arteries because I just assumed the worse. His arteries were clean. He practiced calorie restriction, but not on purpose. He just didn't eat much. And yes--at that much tobacco, how do you eat? He made it to 65. He died do to smoking. His lungs finally gave up one night. Now--smokers who ate a lot seemed like they were always sick.)
I'm not a linguist and I don't even know any greek (other than the alphabet I've memorized once), but if "epi" means "above" and "ousia" means "essense", then the meaning of "epiousios" trivially follows.

I know we're not drawing from a random distribution here, but presumably, the number of environmentalists has also risen dramatically in recent years.
I'd think this and everything Buffet used to do is obviously outdated. Any simplistic indicator or metric won't be more accurate than what a current market cap for the company is as financial companies, with state of the art tools, researchers and experience can determine what is accurate with far more efficiency than Buffet or any simple metric ever could. If they realise there's inaccuracy in a market cap somewhere, and there's reason to believe that the market cap will change in some direction, they will take the profit from it until there's nothing to take and market cap will be accurate again according to their calculations. Even if in some cases they might be wrong, they will be more accurate in the long run as any usual metric due to law of large numbers. Essentially when trying to use any indicators or metrics here you are playing poker against people who have far more information about the cards compared to what you have.
I am new to the using Firefox, but I hope they get some of the features that Chrome has. I know progress will be slow, but they can and should market themselves as a "privacy first" browser. Brave keeps spamming me with ads for the same thing.
Of course for Firefox to achieve that, they need would need some capital which I am not a 100% sure they have.

Ask HN: What has happened to the quality of docs.microsoft.com?
This isn't meant to be a clickbaity question but I'm finding more and more that docs.microsoft.com is, well to put it mildly, garbage!

This is for .NET, I have no idea what it's like for C++ or anything.

When I search for anything, or highlight something in VS and press F1 the docs don't tell me anything more than intellisense does! The links on the page to methods and properties are exactly the same.

I seem to remember MSDN having way more examples that I could use: now it's just the absolute bare minimum. In fact, it's just XML docs from what I can see.

Is it just me?
Ok so you don’t actually remember the UI but are certainly quick to criticise it. I don’t often subscribe/unsubscribe from apps either but I just then decided to try it myself to see if the UI is truly as dark as your post suggests. So on iOS the steps I took was:

“Let’s try the settings app”
“Ok at the top I’ve got my name and it says, ‘Apple ID, iCloud, Media & Purchases’
“Hmm purchases, let’s click that”
“Ok a list of options, fourth says ‘Subscriptions’ let’s try it”
“Oh hey here’s my apple one subscription, not so bad!”

Overall that seemed pretty sensible. Perhaps if they added ‘and subscriptions’ to your card at the top it’d be a bit clearer but it’s certainly not some horrible experience.

I think he is perfectly on point. While some movies were enjoyable to see in 3D and the tech came a long way, the focus problem is probably the most glaring issue.

Maybe some day with eye tracking and cameras which can eliminate depth of field to a sufficient degree for conventional movies.

On the other hand VR doesn't have that problem and it still isn't too successful yet.

What's lost from requiring that Apple's system is an option without banning others? If needed, add some language about how you can't make it difficult for someone to cancel, and cancelling service effective immediately (as opposed to at the end of the billing cycle) requires a pro-rated refund. I'm generally pretty critical of what I would call Apple's paternalistic attitude, but I'm perfectly fine with something along those lines. And we'll see how many people are willing to pay how much of a premium for the Apple experience and guarantees.
Actually, the article is not 100% clear - they first write about polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are contained in cigarette smoke and are likely to be the "active ingredient" which decreases the coronavirus' ability to enter cells, but later they write that the scientists used "cigarette smoke extract" (CSE) for their study, and it remains unclear what this CSE contained exactly. But apparently it is the PAHs, because these can bind to and activate aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AHRs), and two drugs which do the same have the same effect...

Perhaps you mean "recounting"? (You could have meant either)
The UK coal industry was destroyed by the labor movement, so I don't see how you imagine the coal company shareholders won that. Had contract liberty not been destroyed by the UK socialist/labor movement in the decades prior, the coal companies could have fired the strikers, and survived. That would have been better overall for UK workers.

The disappearance of UK Coal, and much of the UK manufacturing sector, played no small part in the stagnation of UK wage growth since the 1970s.

When Adam Smith's maxim, that contract freedom not be infringed upon by government, was in force, in the late 1800s, unions could not single-handedly bankrupt industries, and wages, alongside industry, grew at their fastest rate in both US and UK history.
Yes, seriously. Number one failure in sensationalized reporting is base rate fallacy: they point out a high absolute number, implying something strange is going on, whereas usually the denominator - which they neglect to mention - has rose proportionally, meaning there's nothing newsworthy there.

I don't mean this is the case here (I'm yet to read the article itself) - but this failure mode in reporting is so common that it's a good habit to immediately look for / question lack of base rate data.
