That’s a political view of religion, most religious I know are simply asking ‘why something instead of nothing?’

Ah yeah I guess I shouldn't have said it that way.

We use A LOT of Property-Based Testing at Auxon. It's both a fantastically practical addition to existing testing methods as well as a pretty viable on-ramp to the way of thinking about your software/systems that more "formal" verification approaches require of you. Earlier this year one of my teammates wrote a little bit deeper dive into the practice, rather than the premise of PBT that I thought was quite good. Granted I'm almost certainly biased, but in case anyone wants some further context and caveats from someone who's extensively used PBT "in anger" in multiple programming languages, then I think it's worth taking a look: https://blog.auxon.io/2021/02/01/effective-property-based-te...

Bloomberg wagging it's finger at the workers of the world, such surprise.

"Lie Flat" is a totally understandable phenomena in China, where tech (and other) companies not only want to gain an advantage on the backs of employees working 80+ hour weeks, but also want to skirt laws prohibiting overtime, and the government closes their eyes, Xi forbid productivity goes down.

Forcing employees to do long hours without pay has it's consequences, and no sensible employee will go on doing this, especially in the era of social media, even when Chinese state censors constantly fight to hide "Lay Flat" posts, and Chinese denizens constantly finds new ways to communicate their fatigue to their peers.

Some companies in China are changing and are being sensitive to the needs of their employees, but examples are few and apart, for now.

In the States, companies have similar issues, trying to make it in a competitive market, by forcing productivity through luring employees with stock options, salaries, amenities and so on, but it's both very transparent that they don't give a damn about burnout, and also very obvious that they have no plans to keep you around after your stock options mature.

It's ok to take a break, start a new career, go somewhere where greedy corporate overlords cannot reach you and you can live like a king on very little money.

Bloomberg can shout all they want at the people fed up with long hours, overtime, on-call and so on, but the gig is up, and this whole generation of people looking out from their gilded cages are learning that it's not always worth it.
One of my hobbies is to study the "ancient philosophy" if we may call it this way.

One of my favorite pearls I've found so far is one saint's thoughts on the nature of reality and the power of numbers. He said something along this line: every thing has a number, chance is just the lack of knowledge and time is a sequence of numbers, one is the number of spirit and zero is the number of matter, so together they form 10 which is the number of existence and the origin of duality.

Apparently, the concept of super determinism and simulation was known well before Christianity was a project.
> Kind of the same as all those "free" to play games.

Free to play isn't a scam. They're free to play. You can choose to spend money if you'd like.
As for fair:

There is little thought given to how much the individual house is worth, rather it relies on comp sales in the area. For example, a fully renovated house might go for $500k, but another in the neighborhood with the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms in a less desirable location (say the entrance to the neighborhood) might only be able to sell for $400k.

It is also very common for the adjustments upward to be far quicker than adjustments downward.

Then there are definitely examples out there of the city appraised value being driven by desired tax revenue and becoming detached from the reality of sale prices.
The thing is that dns and static web servers are serving an absolutely minuscule amount of data while a single video on youtube is several GB in the higher qualities. No one can compete on video hosting because it is constantly at the upper limit of what is possible. It will be forever before all videos go 4k and when they do, there will be a push to have it all at 60fps and then at higher bitrates and then at 120fps.
> They're hardly the same, except in a very strict "person with the same name as then" sense.

In terms of identity that is correct, but don't forget that when we refer to a particular person we are really using a label to point at a specific continuity of experience and agency through time, and unless qualified somehow (twelve-year-old Bob, Alice last year, you committed after yesterday's meeting, etc.) the default time point is either at the moment of reference or a moment just prior (the rest of the 4D 'worm' is incorporated transitively), and (again, by default) the 'now' pointer is thereafter updated continuously (at least in casual conversation in natural languages such as English).

It is pretty rare for continuity of experience (and agency) to be broken, and outside of science fiction physical continuity never is, so it isn't too surprising that English (and other natural languages I'm familiar with) largely elide the point-in-time qualifier by default.

We - both individually and in groups - are all of us Ships of Theseus, passing in the night.
The problem is that unless you have experience digging such artifacts out of the ground and an extensive familiarity with the provenanced material others have dug out of the ground, such impressions aren't worth much. In the context of looking at listings on Etsy and eBay to learn about looting of material culture, there's plenty of stuff I've thought was fake before an archeologist set me straight with dozens of links to similar material in museums. Likewise, there's plenty of stuff I thought was real that turned out to be an obvious fake to people who know better.
This was my thought too. I have written a number of apps available in the App Store, and I’m amazed an app like this could pass review.

Your second paragraph is completely at odds with your first paragraph. Founders coming from upper middle class families is not what a society with stable elites looks like.

Zuckerberg for example did come from an upper middle class background. His father was a dentist. His grandfather Jack Zuckerberg was in the Air Force. And his great grandfather came here as an immigrant to Ellis island and worked as a fruit peddler and tailor.

Show HN: CRM for Social Consumer Apps
Hey HN

My friend and I wasted hours reaching out to potential users by cold DMing them one-by-one on instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.

So, we thought about building our own internal extension that allows us to gather leads from all the channels in one centralized place.

This helped us save hours of time and while having customer data all in one place instead of handling multiple spreadsheets.

Thought we'd share this with you:)

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Looking forward to your questions
A large amount of small creators do this today only because YouTube is a free service. A lot of people will use their free time to make videos, but not if a portion of their disposable income has to be dedicated to hosting them.
Tell HN: YouTube has a spam problem, and it's getting worse
I've noticed a ton of crypto scams on YouTube recently, many of which are using the names of legitimate channels (like SpaceX), re-posting content from those channels and promoting scams – usually in the form of "send me [Elon Musk, Jeff Bezoz, etc] BTC, and I'll send you 2x back".

It seems reasonable to expect one or two of these to slip through the cracks now and then, but over the past few months, I've had YouTube "recommend" these to me, again and again, multiple times per day. I've often reported them as spam, only to have YouTube recommend the exact same video to me a few minutes later. I don't know anyone who would fall for the scams in the videos, but they've become so common now that it's getting really annoying.

You can't tell me that they're too difficult to distinguish from legitimate content. Any human being or half-decent algorithm would be able to catch these with no trouble at all (heck, I could write a couple of regular expressions that would do the trick and have 0 false positives), which leads me to wonder: why is YouTube promoting these videos? At this point, it feels like they must have some incentive not to shut them down, because it would require deliberate effort to have any form of spam control while also somehow letting these through.

Am I the only one noticing this?
That makes no sense. You set the price according to whatever gets you the highest profit.
You then pay the tax on the profit. There is no room to adjust the margins of the product based on your profit expectations. By that logic my profit expectation could be 1 trillion and I just set the margin based on that since prices are infinitely elastic and the consumer will always pay whatever I charge. No, a competitor will steal your customers and you will end up making less money.

What the corporate income tax may do is encourage the company to defer its profits overseas and wait for tax holidays or tax cuts. It may also discourage investors from investing in your country. Those are pretty huge downsides but they have nothing to do with product pricing.
And your comment shows a disdain for the elderly that is very much reflected in the treatment of the elderly in Sweden overall.

We put our elders in nursery home and visit them once a year if lucky. I think that is why the response is regarded as a success in Sweden. Older people dying is just a relief.
FWIW, one of the primary complaints of heard about Elm is that there are no escape hatches, so if it doesn't support your use case you just straight up can't use it. I've seen several reports of people avoiding it for future projects on that basis.

In contrasts, TypeScripts success seems to be in no small part due to the fact that it's trivial to drop down to the full flexibility of JavaScript as and when needed, and that it has the full JS ecosystem available to it.

Everyone has a choice. They choose their actions, they choose who to listen to, they choose what to believe. They choose to be open or closed minded. They choose to listen to new ideas or not.

A lot of people are choosing wrong and suffering for it. They had a choice. No one can take that away from them, they always had a choice.

Propaganda only works if you choose to believe it.

Property caretaker

A property caretaker is a person, group, or organization that cares for real estate for trade or financial compensation, and sometimes as a barter for rent-free living accommodations.[0]

I thought Ant is fantastically profitable, because it takes a 30% cut from the profit generated by the Yu'e Bao fund (used to be the largest in the world), with the money coming from the remaining balance of all the Alipay accounts.
It's hard to pay proper attention when a nearly-good-enough L2 system fails. They work just well enough so you're not paying attention and then the car hands you control without warning.

I have the basic autopilot (not the paid FSD) and trust it very little. I love traffic aware cruise control where I'm still steering, but normally don't ever use autopilot. I turned it on briefly today for a km on a long, straight freeway so that I could more safely switch audio sources while on a multi-hour drive. Switched it right back off once I was done fiddling.

Google studied driver attention and decided advanced L2 and L3 systems were quite dangerous because drivers simply are not ready to take back over right away when needed. That's why they jumped right to L4.
One of the factors is ISPs that install these boxes have limited space and many companies that want to place hardware there. If Netflix can push more traffic in less space, that makes it a better option for ISPs that want to reduce external traffic and thus more likely to be installed benefiting their users.

If what I found is current, Netflix has 1U and 2U appliances, but FB does a 1U switch + groups of 4x 2U servers, so starting at 9U; but I was looking at a 2016 FB pdf that someone uploaded, they may have changed their deployments since then. 2U vs 9U can make a big difference.
No, there is a huge difference. Your company passes on VAT, sales tax, the income tax needed to hire workers and other taxes.

The profits of the company are only relevant to investors, not consumers.

In the video streaming world, yeah that is true. These platforms are not just hosts, they are discovery platforms and if there isn't any content to discover, it isn't a good platform.
> I tried to connect to freenet last year and I literally couldn't work it out.

Sorry but that must have been a bug or misconfiguration on your machine:

It should connect to the network by default without any tinkering.

Perhaps you didn't pay close attention to the first-time wizard and told it to only connect to manually chosen peers instead of connecting to random strangers? If you then don't add peers manually you won't have any connections.

> The GUI didn't make much sense, I couldn't work out where I was meant to go to browse content.

The default feature is browsing HTML content just like on the regular web.

By default it ships some bookmarks to "index" sites, i.e. sites which list links to plenty of other sites.

Those bookmarks should be right at the main page of the UI at http://127.0.0.1:8888

I downloaded Freenet during the post-Snowden privacy craze since the concept of a decentralized anonymous network interested me. Here’s my experience circa ~2014:

1. Installed Freenet

2. Clicked on the site directory from the Freenet home page to see what sites are out there

3. Saw links to child pornography sites on the site directory

4. Uninstalled Freenet

I hope this has been addressed, it’s sickening how the network seemed to be mainly used by pedophiles.
I have mostly good experiences with respect to the quality of products that I buy from Amazon. However, I think this is because I don't take recommendations at face value.

Instead, I look at multiple products, research them, and evaluate reviews. I don't weigh reviews equally. Instead, I look for thoughtful reviews.

In today's information manipulation landscape, you either do your own research or outsource it.

>That they have to censor their thoughts and hold in their feelings rather than talk about them with others for fear of it being determined to be 'wrong'.

But that's how our society is. Might as well teach them early.

You cannot verse a large swath of sentiments and personal feelings in most large group settings (especially work settings where we increasingly spend most of our time). I don't need to give examples, most of us have felt this way at least once in the past few years.

This is how all societies are. Everyone has some kind of "blasphemy". Every society seems some relatively harmless things as egregiously wrong. It just varies based on where you are and what time period.
That was probably true in the U.S. even 40 years ago. But that time has passed.

Good on your Grandpa! Lots of historical systems only work because the whole system is trustworthy. I imagine it would take some serious courage in any of Cambridge's 800+ years to rub a petite bourgeoisie's nose in their attempted bribe.
> What? CEOs (example from the paragraph before, along with doctors, judges lawyers etc) want socialism?

Quite often, yes. For example, that's how we got universal public education in the US. The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto is a reasonable look at how it happened.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Case_Against_Education looks at research on retention and finds it to support you on this point.
Some things that some people view as mistakes are not necessarily large mistakes. For example, people swear all the time, and yet some schools might expel or suspend the child if the child is caught swearing.

Having such a reaction to something so minor is a problem.
It's always been like that for me. Even the lowest quality videos struggle to play.
If there's not, it would be less than a day's work to change a few constants in a 64 bit core and add the corresponding equivalents of the same 10 instructions that were added to go from RV32I to RV64I.

If it hadn't been done then it's not because it's in any way difficult (in emulator, FPGA, or SoC) but only that no one has needed it yet.

My smart TV uses a proprietary SOC that no one has reverse engineered. It’s a few years old and someone recently managed to get into a 2017 model from that line. It’s the same problem that hinders open source firmware for cell phones: proprietary chips and no community desire/funding for reverse engineers.
