It's not fricking world war 2, no matter the technicalities.
I was thinking more like partnerships in law firms, but even to the extent that everyone is an equal equity partner.

Each partner would very carefully evaluate if adding a new person is worth it, and contributions would be closely watched. It would not end politics but at least it would be fairer

Coase's original idea was of course that firms had employees because the cost of finding someone to do the flexible changing work out in the market was too complex. But add process automation, industry ledgers and a few other bits and I am pretty sure optimal firm size could shrink.

Add in whatever magic sauce people are talking about here (the ability to measure an IC actual contribution - or avoid it altogether through small enough equity) and form size might have a real downward driver.

I suspect that SaaS will see a shift to open source as well. for example even top tech firms spend a fortune building and maintaining custom code for non-core operations (ie HR and reporting and MIS reporting)

Almost all of this can be done well in oss and well enough that if you change your procedures to meet the code you probably win

So with most companies operating on free codebases, sharing equity to drive out the need for managers, keeping employee numbers low, and being able to program / automate most of their non core work firms sizes might take a dive.
Agreed. While there are of course exceptions to the standard model that may end up being explained with sedenions and higher dimensionality, it's still quite robust.
You're correct that not all relationships last for a lifetime. Not all should last that long. But neither should none.

It varies, because people vary, and you have to both work at it and want similar things.

Fairytales aren't real, but that's also not a reason to just say all marriages won't last. That's obviously false. It's also not the end of the world, as you say, if in the end you've both grown so far apart neither can remember what you're doing together in the first place. You fight for a relationship up to a point, but there are limits.
It takes about the 15 seconds of thinking through these laws before the holes the size of planets start to appear.

What percentage of Americans work exactly 40 hour work weeks. What percentage of those jobs can be economically supported at 4/5 of the hours. The answer is surely in the millions. it's not 0. but that's much different than it being some universal. All of retail is out which is a big percentage of the 40 or 40+ hour a week hourly cohort.

Maybe it makes sense specifically for government employees or something.

Anyway arguing it is besides the point. it's such a poorly framed ask that there is 0 chance of it happening at scale so no need to fight it.

Also, obligatory to point out that Jacobin makes Fox News look impartial. it's an absolute junk source of journalism.
Ask HN: Go-To Web Stack Today?
I'm an engineer who's just left academia where I spent most of my time programming in either Python or C++. Want to develop a web app in my spare time but getting analysis paralysis trying to decide on a stack.

Having looked into it a bit, I was thinking something along the lines of Vue.js / Django / PostgreSQL to leverage my familiarity with Python.

On the other hand, React & Next.js on Vercel seems to be buzzing. Is that just me or is something similar what webdev is moving towards?
After the fact? It’s been in news articles for years.

I agree with your second point - I don’t know what the process should have been but they clearly haven’t followed it
It’s an american idiom. Just means they are hard working folks.
Why not just have all packages go through a central location first, like an office in the city or something, where someone can open them and pass on the gifts? This is already a thing for celebrities/people who get targeted by stalkers/attackers.

You do bring a good point. Maybe outlandish, but see my sibling comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28578832) where the server overhead for rejecting invalid packets which the attacker made for free goes down to performing a hash.
I recommend you take some time to really research how common
that actually is. You might be surprised. The modern world has a way of making relatively small (yet disturbing) events seem like massive wide spread problems careening out of control. It's one of the reasons we are seeing hyper polarization of beliefs. Nobody actually does the research, they just read headlines, and it seems like the world is much worse than it really is.

You're taking this weirdly personally, and ignoring the contextual point about large numbers of pickups that are never used for any kind of work, as well as the other point about older pickups having equivalent amounts of bed space without being so massive.

FPGAs are incredibly closed, outside of Lattice Semiconductor's tiny FPGAs (unsuitable for computers). In all practicality for "openness", any open-source advocate should rather use Intel/AMD than Xilinx/Altera.

Closed-source synthesizers, closed source bootup, closed source loaders, etc. etc. You're pretty much trusting the FPGA software more than any CPU.
I think I ran into this problem while trying to Dockerize ansible to be able to run on ppc64le.

For other reasons, I have a need to be able to run an up to ansible on Linux on POWER. I think due to a lack of an available wheel for cryptography on ppc64le, I ended up having to include cargo in the dependency chain and subsequently a pretty large docker image (over 200MB). Ugh.
Mice don’t get Alzheimer’s, so why test Alzheimer's drugs on them?
Sigh. So true.

Curation is an important part of any retail experience. I don't need a thousand "brands" for a product. I need to know what the top few are, so I can choose well.

I hate the fact that there are a relatively small number of actual manufacturers of some classes of product, and then a massive fragmentation of "brands" that are just the same things, repackaged.

On Amazon, the brand is Amazon -- because there's a small (and getting smaller) chance you've ever heard of the brand before. So when it comes to trust, our trust relationship is with Amazon.

The main thing Amazon has going for it is the liberal return policies -- those transform the lack of trust in the general buying experience into a two-way door.
>Faux immigration like H1B and other guest worker visas cruelly create a second class workforce.

More importantly, it increases the labor pool without giving immigrants the right to vote.

>Multiculturalism works, as exhibited by the higher social capital in major cities compared to the ethnically homogenous rural areas.

The major cities also have significant infrastructure, crime, and affordability issues. Some of them also have major homelessness problems. I'm not saying that's because of immigrants, but saying that immigrants live in cities and those cities are "better" is kind of non-sensical. If anything, COVID showed us that people want to get away from cities.

Is the higher social capital bit really true? My own family immigrated many years ago to the US. From my parents' home country, there are millions of other people in the US. Many of them don't care to assimilate. They have a romanticized view of this home country, and have outright anti-semitic and other intolerant beliefs.

>This will strengthen the security and influence of western powers, giving them also a worldly outlook compared to those with much less immigration.

If you're bringing in the best and brightest minds, sure. The US, for example, is fairly bogged down with a significant, inefficient government apparatus. Taxes seem to go up without quality of life enhancements. I could see an increased labor pool increasing revenue, but how about housing affordability and healthcare? We don't have "quality" jobs for the folks who are already in this country. How do we increase immigration while lifting everyone up?

I am not necessarily disagreeing with your ideas, but I think you're simplifying some very hard problems.

Amazon is filled with cheap junk nowadays. I don't trust them for anything important. Case in point: I recently purchased an air purifier but was worried that I would get a fake product since they are notorious for co-mingling. I ended up buying one from Target online which also has free two day shipping now. For anyone who is looking for an alternative to Amazon, it seems like the big retailers (Walmart, Target, Best Buy) have finally caught up with their online offerings. I don't think I'll ever buy anything important from Amazon again until they fix their trash problem.

When the cameras and processing are good enough, the watchers may also know your heart rate, breathing rate, who you glance at that goes by and which ones raise your heart rate, when you smile, when you frown, your pupil dilation, what items you browse in physical shops even if you don't buy, everything that can be picked out by lip reading, whether you look like you got a good night's sleep; trends in all these factors over time as they see you from multiple cameras across the months and years, and can probably predict when you will lose your job and if you're getting a divorce before you, your spouse and your employer knows these things, and which cancer you have before it's diagnosed (but will use it to raise/deny your insurance rather than actually help you).

Of course it will all be presented only to trustworthy researchers with impeccable standards of ethics who have your interests first, such as the advertising unit, and the ministry of happiness and fair opportunity for all.

All data requests from law enforcement fishing crews, "surgical" tactical vote manipulators, blackmailers, credit reference agencies, insurance companies, pre-crime detection centres, and religious morality police will of course be turned down, as that would be unethical.

On your somewhat off-topic meta-comment about my lack of due diligence: lucky for me I don't need to break out Coq to validate an RFC draft to post a comment on HN, which despite my mushy-gushy feelings has resulted in a productive, curious, and educational discussion, at least for me!

On the point of stolen resources, true, the attacker doesn't care, but I think if we get to the level of resource symmetry in a protocol we've effectively throttled a class of attacks. There are only so many grannies whom a given attacker can pwn. Symmetry is relevant because it makes it that much harder and that much more demanding of your botnet. Besides, like you mention at the end of your comment demanding some kind of additional Byzantine DOS-tolerance is likely too hard of an ask.

I would like a VPN which has pluggable transports, and can, say, look like ssh or http or a game, and route over 20 random servers. I know of shadowsocks etc., but I could never get it to run.

To be pedantic, shadowsocks is a proxy not a VPN but it does what you describe very well, and anecdotally it is better at circumventing the great firewall than wireguard(with its predictable signature it's quickly blocked). Granted I'm not in China anymore and you probably aren't there either, so both wireguard and shadowsocks work really well, but you might want to consider using a proxy over a VPN. If you've had trouble installing SS before, I recommend the streisand ansible script. Connect it to a VPS and it'll install wireguard, shadowsocks with V2ray plugin pointing to github for obfuscation, TOR, OpenVPN and more all at once.

https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand

If you're an iOS user and have multiple shadowsocks server, the shadowrocket app makes it very easy to make rulesets that look like so(don't worry there's a UI for it):

You can get specific like "BBC traffic goes through my london proxy, leave netflix un-proxied, twitter traffic goes through germany, etc."

I also do the opposite of VPNing, where I use home PC as a server too so that when I'm traveling I don't get flagged with anti-fraud stuff when I want to check my bank apps and I can watch American Netflix without every worrying about it being blocked.

edit: looks like streisand got archived at the same time as Ubuntu 16.04 got EOL'd. I didnt know because some of my instances have run for years. You can read the discussions on github for some alternative projects.
What the court imposes is more of a penalty on divorce, than a representation on what a wife costs.

For instance, we used to make a little money when I married my wife, now we make a lot more. We didn't change our lifestyle or spending, nor what we spent on the child. Just savings increased, none of which we planned to give to the child. But now the child support calculator says I owe a lot more after a divorce, which is supposed to be money for the child. If the cost of the child didn't go up, it makes no sense the child support would go up when you earn more money, but it does. It's just a penalty on whoever earns more or doesn't take the child, as societies way of getting even for violating Christian norms.

I'm trying to understand the problem with defining rural and urban areas at a county level. Aren't they looking at per capita fatality rates? Obviously urban centers massively out populate rural ones. I don't really see how rural land around an urban center is poisoning the results here. Ultimately, the authors found that gun violence per capita isn't significantly greater in urban counties than in rural ones.
As someone who's been a customer since it sold books, it's disappointing these past couple of years that I have to shop at other sites for trusted items. The whole point of reviews is to provide insight and lessen risk. Now it's a whole exercise in avoiding getting scammed. I had an experience recently where I wrote a review (which I rarely do) that was 2 or 3 stars for a product (jars) that had glass which cracked in the fridge. They flagged and removed my review.

The same thing happens on sites like Airbnb, where it's trivial to delete bad reviews.

With a system like this, you can skirt ethics by showing only positive reviews, and then you can't exactly be accused of fraud or fake reviews.
Golang went with the bizarre decision of using a specific timestamp as a template for date format strings. So in Go, instead of having to remember impossible things like "%Y stands for year" and "%H is a two-digit hour", I simply need to recall that the canonical time is Monday, January 2nd 2006 at 15:04:05.
Check out --force-if-includes … it works well in combo with —-force-with-lease and ensures you don’t accidentally replace a branch that is not yet merged into your current branch (force-with-lease has a pitfall where if you fetch before pushing, it’ll act like a straight up force push).
Echoing other posters, I no longer can shop with confidence on Amazon. The ease of making a purchase is dead and the fast shipping doesn’t counteract the reality that there is no quality control.

Having to sort reviews by most recent and really study the product and seller defeat the point. That’s why I’m back to ordering online with Home Depot and the like.

Bullshit. Aircraft that can be seen are much scarier to the enemy.

Any chance at&t can be fined for the fraud they commit on a regular business (like keeping phones locked that have been bought outright).
I recently had an experience with a seller that kept sending me new tracking numbers as the shipment got “lost”.
At first it seemed like great customer service because they would send me a brand new item because the shipment failed to come through or waive the shipping fee on my order.
In the end, I got wise to what was going on and on the last day asked for a full refund from Amazon before the appeal time expired.
Amazon gave me the refund but that was close.

This is a really cool idea. I think you could get a long way by finding calculations whose results depend on the chip being used.

Even more interesting would be a generalized version that sought to discover properties of an unknown calculator. For example, working out the internal precision by looking at rounding errors, or you could time calculations on numbers of different sizes and make inferences about the size of available memory. This would be cool because you can then apply it to more general sorts of things, like human brains.

It seems like a throwback to the naive old internet.

Being that it is 2021, it seems absurd to actually believe that some cheap service provider is providing any kind of meaningful privacy. I get the notion of being able to watch BBC or avoid baseball blackouts, but competent content providers block VPNs all of the time… consolidating will only help that effort.

This is how weathering steel works, but for all other cases the instructions are to remove the oxidized layer and apply a protective coat of paint, because rust is typically pourous and provides no protection, but traps moisture.

Also stainless steel has an oxidised protective layer, but its transparent so we don't call it rust
