The Crown Estate is not the personal property of the monarch, it's essentially just government assets. Who is the Crown Estate going to pay taxes to, itself?

Show HN: Find Projects to Buy and Invest In
Heyo!

My name is Arvind, I'm an indie hacker and maker of this app I've been working way too hard on my side projects and few of them actually worked. While building the projects, I realised that if I could get some support from the community, I can bring many more ideas to life and earn some money.

I lacked business knowledge and because of that I was not able to generate enough revenue from my side projects/startups and ended up selling them to someone who has near to no knowledge of coding, and we both messed the product. I thought if someone could help me with the sales and I can work full time developing the product. This is the main reason I developed SideInvest (https://sideinvest.io).

Here you can find people who are interested in buying your business or invest in your business and provide you proper guidance, and in return, you can offer some equity of the business.

I hope you will find potential buyers and investors for your next business.

Thanks,
Arvind
Given the amount of right-wing tripe I find in my twitter feed, I'm going to say that Twitter doesn't ban people who don't agree with progressive politics. I think the only ideology they really have is money.
a big benefit, like quality housing for everyone, is worth everyone contributing a little.
civilized should have taken out the "sea of words" swipe and you should have edited out the swipes from your comment here, as well as in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28819420. Someone else breaking the site guidelines doesn't make it ok for you to do so. Please do a better job of sticking to them.
Guns are even less intelligent than robots. They are still terrifying when someone points one at you.
But when I'm dead, the wealth I generated isn't. Of course many people would benefit from cannibalizing the result of my work, but calling it "public interest" is disingenuous. If property rights are not respected, nobody wins in the end. Look at [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0IvTwBWUpE) for example of what happens when mob can take your wealth at any moment. Even the poorest people with no capital win when there is strong protection for the results of their labor.

It really worries me how a bunch of people in this forum promote marxist ideas, with absolutely zero first-hand knowledge of what ends up happening, and hint: it's not in public interest whatsoever. "Democracy" doesn't mean free-for-all.
I’m trying to figure out how productivity rates could possibly be construed as the only important metric for what constitutes “the future.” Doesn’t that sound like a paperclip maximizer kind of perspective? Am I missing something?
I don't understand the argument of people who partly justify affirmative action in college admissions with the lack of a perfect meritocracy. So just because the ideal of a perfect meritocracy is illusive, decisions shouldn't primarily be based on merit anymore?

I was under the impression there's a large exemption for inheritances under a few million and then it's still a number lower than income tax on the rest.

Philosophically, you don't own anything after you're dead. Someone else, alive, is getting income in the form of an inheritance.
Whether the promise of “housing as a human right” is fulfilled depends on your likelihood of actually obtaining one of these discounted homes when you’re eligible. In US housing discourse there’s an implicit assertion that because you’re denied discounted housing by a “fair” lottery or waiting list system, instead of the “unfair” market, that’s somehow better. It’s not better! The thing is whether or not you actually end up with a home. And that is mostly going to be about whether construction is keeping up with demand.

Again, misunderstandings seems to run rampant in this thread...

No, Docker doesn't maintain systems, it handles applications. No one runs systems inside of Docker. People run applications with Docker, and Docker itself runs on systems.

And no, Nix doesn't "do this differently and better", as what Docker does and Nix does is wildly different. Nix is for machines, not applications. Sure, a subset of features from Nix can be used like Docker, but that doesn't mean Nix and Docker is the same, no matter what you think of markets or whatever.

I've heard it used for bird ecology for sure. The 100th meridian is the general cutoff between eastern bird species and western bird species. I think it holds true in other areas of biology.

I've driven back and forth across it a lot. Obviously it's a gradient and not some magic barrier the great-tailed grackles cannot cross. And we do get western kingbirds a couple hundred miles east as well as western meadowlarks. It's still a handy boundary so that you know more or less what to expect in a given area ecologically.

“If total factor productivity had continued to grow at its 1957 to 1973 rate then we today would be living in the world of 2076 rather than in the world of 2014.”

I grew up watching the original Star Trek series in reruns in the 1970’s.

2021 is not what I imagined.

Back to the Future 2 took place in 2015

Blade Runner was 2019

So, I’d say we all expected quite a bit more.

The world changed much more in the 50 years before I was born than 50 years after

> a lot of software use node based UI

Yes, and as pointed out in another comment, it does not scale well.

It's nice for the "tweak" phase of - say - finalizing a shot in a CGI movie, but when you start to get more than a few thousand nodes in a setup, it's very hard to do anything.

There are mitigation solutions, such as grouping and collapsing of nodes, but that only goes so far.

Another annoying thing with node-based systems:

- collaborative work is hard
- version control is hard
Yes. And to a certain extent a **-swinging contest between DevDiv and the base team
> Professor van der Hilst, after broadly consulting his community

How often is the community broadly consulted on MIT climate science lecturers ?
I think you are right. Its really up to our generation to let go of a lot of things we were told are guaranteed in our life. We really do have the technologies and labor force to fix the problems in the world in a matter of years, we just need some good leadership and discipline, but, of course, the human condition...
The government, by definition, holds the monopoly on legal violence. This is the fundamental difference. It isn't a big corporation.

But firing the guy because he said X is where the free speech line is crossed.

There are people who argue employers have the right to fire anyone for any reason because of their own rights. The current reality in the US is that people are routinely fired for even mentioning the concept of a union in the workplace. I agree that is against the ideal of free speech, but not the law as it exists.

The thing I have noticed over the past year is that many of the same people who think it's great to fire people for collective action suddenly get very imaginative about free speech when it happens to people they agree with.
Have you ever had a job where you did nothing for years and nobody found out?
Google will kill this in about a year, if that. They'll realize they actually don't want anything to do with RSS again.
I prefer the original RSS, thank you very much. Wonder what Aaron would say about this implementation?
interesting. never realized that tsocks hasn't seen an update in nearly 20 years. i've never had an issue with it, although i suppose i haven't had to setup my own tunnels in quite some years now.
Of course not. But that’s what the wave of woke left wing Twitter mobs (and the likes of AOC, etc.) are pushing for. You have authoritarians on the left and authoritarians on the right, and an ever shrinking center. Not sure how we get out of this predicament.
I haven’t read the law but usually these bans are announced ahead of time and are bans on purchases of new equipment. So they do result in gradual phase outs.

I read the article. The ban goes into effect in 3 years. And there is a carve out for zero emission gas ones too.

Seems entirely reasonable. The state of corded and even cordless tools is pretty solid these days with lithium ion and 48V batteries etc.
Sure, he said that, but only one of the complications are actually IN his social circle, the rest are two or more steps removed.

"My dad's coworker" - 2 steps

"my wife's brothers" - 2 steps

"My daughter's bf's friends mom" - 4 steps

"A friend" - 1 step

He might have a small social circle, but even a small circle is going to explode exponentially when you start hoping outwards. By the 4th jump, you're going to start seeing extreme numbers regardless of how small your personal social circle is.
iPhone Macro: A Big Day for Small Things
I don't disagree with you ... I am simply noting that this is a problem area that seems generic enough to apply to a lot of situations, but there surprisingly seems to be very little research going on to solve the problem properly and in a general manner.
It's banning the sale of new equipment
I'm very skeptical that the attitude can be isolated this way. There's a lot of people who genuinely do feel uncomfortable when authority figures don't share their political views, and that discomfort won't go away just because you're no longer in "outreach mode". If you shape your outreach efforts to target them, and you successfully convince them to apply to MIT (or enter the broader field), won't they expect their lecturers to be held to the same standard?
I imagine, one day when we finally break the factoring problem, we are going to have a bunch of these prime. This is one of the things I prat to see in my remaining lifetime.

Cranking on the current best known algorithm for testing for Mersenne primes does nothing to advance the state of the art for other algorithms, though.

It’s like saying, we have a project that keeps sorting larger and larger sets using quicksort because we believe it will help advance the state of sorting algorithms. ‘We just sorted the largest ever set!’

It only applies to California-based retailers and is specifically related to grouping some (but not all[1]) toys in gendered aisles. The explanation from the lawmakers is that it specifically applies to children's perceptions of toys, not parents.

Amazon doesn't have aisles, and small children don't buy their toys from it, so applying this law to them would seem to belie the stated goal (avoiding seeding children's minds with the gender biases of adults).

Cheap solar combined with the electric transport revolution (courtesy of better batteries), and the likely implications towards the architecture of our future power generation and storage.

It costs money, but it's now possible to live a first-world lifestyle - sports car and all - without burning any fossil fuels. Houses can be made self-sufficient. The biggest impediment to turning that into a massive distributed green power grid is regulatory.

We'll need that grid, so I'm confident the walls will come down. Electric cars are widely accepted as the future, with many countries attempting to ban ICE cars completely within a relatively short timeframe, but nobody seems to be strongly considering how on earth we'll charge them all. There's going to be a rocky period of power shortages, but that will incentivize the construction of off-grid homes, which will incentivize ways of arbitrating their surplus power. The future of this space looks interesting.

An offshoot of all this that's exciting from a social perspective is the rise of personal electric transport, like e-scooters and e-bikes. We're well on our way to eliminating fossil fuels from our cities, and that makes me happy.

Thanks you too, I think this has actually been the thread with the least sloppy Nix hate yet!
The ban is for new sales, not for existing equipment.
You guys are both putting too much energy into commenting about the "you" at the other end of the discussion. Not only is it leading you to break the site guidelines, it makes the discussion noisier and more tedious for everybody else.

You both have interesting points to make. If you'd stick to making them substantively, thoughtfully, and respectfully, the thread would be much better. "Respectfully" generally includes avoiding telling people things about themselves that are not likely to land well. There are times when that's necessary, but talking to strangers over the internet is not one of them.

> we basically stopped inventing shared protocols after that point in the 90s.

This is incorrect but educationally so: there are many new distributed protocols (RSS/Atom, XMPP, various things around blog interactions like FOAF and ping backs, GraphQL, OpenID, etc.) but the ones which successfully saw adoption were adopted by a few large companies who saw advantages from doing so. Being open or distributed not only wasn’t enough to be competitive with the centralized platforms, it often prevented that since you needed to coordinate improvements across a range of competitors while Google or Facebook could just ship an update.

Consumers didn’t value client decentralization, especially when that meant incompatibility, lower performance, and fewer people they know using a service.

Putting things into a blockchain not only doesn’t help with any of the real problems but makes all of them worse: performance and reliability are completely out of your control, everything costs money (good luck getting users when the competition not only has better features, perform, and social graph but also doesn’t charge them to sign up or send messages!), and since you centralized onto a network run by finance companies the only way to get traction on any of that is to have enough money to be taken seriously.

I am excited about dedicated servers. Yes, dedicated, not cloud servers in AWS or something like that.
I am interested in running my own server for decades, but nowadays, since about 2 years, you get extremely powerful and reliable servers for already 40 bucks a month. That is amazing. The power you can deliver today compared to the costs reached a very good ratio. This was unthinkable 5-7 years ago and open a lot of possibilities.
Well, Hooke's law describes force, which isn't really a meaningful concept without inertia.

Reminds me of the Kairos retreats popular in Catholic high schools. I went to one and it was pretty intense and not in a forced way. Basically 4 day group therapy.
I don't think it would be as trivial to fix as you think. I can't just say, "This is Gibbs's position, not mine" because I don't actually know that to be a fact. This happened 12 years ago, and my recollection could be wrong. It's entirely possible that this was actually my position at the time and I just don't remember. So before I can confidently attribute this position to Gibbs I'd have to verify that this was indeed Gibbs's position at the time, and that seems like a non-trivial undertaking.

I'll tell you what, though, if you can find a reference that this really was/is Gibbs's position I will make the correction.

True, though you end up with things like:

The estate tax does not apply to the first $11.7 million, the children will be fine. If you're wealthy enough for the estate tax to be relevant to you, you're wealthy enough to do estate planning that factors in the taxes due.

The robber barons you're thinking of lived a long time ago and very few of the wealthy today inherited their wealth from them. We should be more concerned about the robber barons walking around today and how our policies benefit so few winners and fosters income inequality.
It doesn't. But my contacts correct for my astigmatism much better than my glasses do (which may or may not have any astigmatism correction, I'm not sure). So the vision I get out of my contacts is sharper than my glasses, but my glasses offer blue blocking. Tradeoffs.

Productivity is basically a measure of how much stuff we get per person. Obviously stuff isn't the only thing that matters, but once upon a time, everyone had to spend all of their time growing food. Now farming is 1,000 times more productive, and most everyone can do something else. The same with making clothes, furniture, etc. If we want a world where everyone can spend all of their time doing whatever they want and have enough, we're going to need a much more productive world.
A relevant quote from Feynman's Nobel Lecture used as the epigraph in the preface to Visual Complex Analysis:

Theories of the known, which are described by different physical ideas may be equivalent in all their predictions and are hence scientifically indistinguishable. However, they are not psychologically identical when trying to move from that base into the unknown. For different views suggest different kinds of modifications which might be made and hence are not equivalent in the hypotheses one generates from them in ones attempt to understand what is not yet understood.

OpenSCAD style thinking is CSG (constructive solid geometry).

It may be worth reading this article to get an idea of what feature stores are and how they are used https://feast.dev/blog/what-is-a-feature-store/
If I understand it correctly, a feature store is an API that serves data obtained through some sort of (materialized) view. The feature logic can be partially implemented outside the database (which is either stored in memory or on disk).
Some of the language in this article is a little breathless: it makes the claim that this instance is "quantitatively different," but the instance is the same kind we've seen before: a professional or academic having dislikeable views outside of their field.

It's also not clear whether this man (whose name I honestly can't remember after reading the article) has been "cancelled" in any meaningful sense: he now has an article in a leading liberal magazine defending him, written by another highly titled and positioned academic. Oh, and then he ended up speaking on behalf of MIT anyways, except not in a public venue where inviting him could be seen as an endorsement of him qua person.
I agree with all of this simply on grounds of noise pollution. My neighbor had been running a fucking 2 stroke pressure washer engine all weekend. I'm sure he thinks he's being helpful cleaning all that concrete that people drive on, but it's hell to live next to. At what point do you get to call the cops on someone for this?
