Ask HN: How often do you get insomnia? How do you deal with it?
> from my view the theory is fairly straightforward

But as you've stated it, the "theory" is on-face wrong.

Money isn't created when the government spends because it borrows from private credit markets when it spends, taking money out of circulation.

Money is created by monetary policy, not fiscal policy.

I don't necessarily disrespect MMT, I just have trouble tying people down to making a specific claim. Either they are saying something obvious and not at all contrary to mainstream economics, or they are making claims that I think are wrong - but I have trouble pinning down any particular claims.
Yeah from description sounds like Oracle just with smaller companies.

They probably juice vendor locked SMBs quite hard on all fronts. Then as they go over what companies can pay for they shut down that venture of theirs and distribute profits over the network to not pay taxes but CEOs, board members get their pay day.
My understanding is that YouTube will even interpret a dislike as positive feedback. It’s all about engagement as you said.
my old school used this old as hell system using two solaris servers that we would connect to via thin clients. i got root creds to everything in our school district and on my very last day at that school i decided i'd do everyone a favour and at least update the system from firefox 3 to firefox 12. well, shortly after installing the package everyones clients stopped responding and that's the day i learned about dependencies. everyone kind of knew it had to be me that screwed everything, but nobody said anything and they were grateful to have gotten rid of that horrible old system.

Unfortunately they decided to replace it with windows now, but my little brother is doing a great job keeping the people managing that new system on their toes ;)
That's good to hear. I did not mean to say these are actual problems, since I have never used these tools, only that a new approach needs some care. As long as you don't take over routing most problems fall away. Once you do, it becomes harder.

Examples like multi-level routing with tabs/subtabs. If I "open in background tab" the "Performance" tab inside the "Mobile" tab, will it work (e.g. send me to myapp.com/admin/mobile/performance)?

Just out of ignorant curiosity, if I "open in background tab" from a LiveView app, will I get the same server state session or a fresh one?

Maybe the size includes pdf/docx/ppt notes. Maybe there are a few decades of accumulated copy+paste+modify code chunks. Or maybe it really is just complexity -- but at the end of the day that's what matters.

The instruction pointer is hardly the only state here. Doesn't the __SM__ structure (and the mess that came before) cascade into a bunch of configuration? It seems to me that it really could look like keeping a bunch of drivers around.
There are some users who were banned because the repeatedly broke the guidelines but continue to post, and that they got banned doesn't mean that all their comments are bad, just too many of them.
These have been implemented in a lot of places extensively, such as Germany. There are also some implementations in the US. One such that I drove on often is when I-70 eastbound runs into the beltway at Baltimore, MD.

The only problem with zipper merging (much like roundabouts) is a lack of education around how they work and WHY they work. Adjust the education we give new drivers and over time our roads will become more efficient.
Ok, so just nonsense then. Thanks for clarifying, if that is what NFT's is then they are even more of a scam than I thought. If they could loosely be tied to image rights it would be something, but this is just nonsense.

There are zero reasons for a site to have an NFT tied to what images you display in your profile on that site. Having a market for images for that site is fine. But if there was a huge demand for such sites then they would exist before NFT's. Their massive explosion in popularity thus must be that the space filled with NFT scammers with little to no real demand.

I would love to see him go toe-to-toe with every government entity, when the law does not reflect what is Right or Just. There is too much tyranny and not enough people willing and able to withstand the resulting blowback to take the matter all the way through the courts.
I operated this way for years, and it's why I became burnt out. It was weaponizing anxiety against myself to overcome the inhibitions of AD(H)D, instead of properly addressing it with a medical professional.
In real life there is a limit on how hard you can go or how serious you're insults can be without physical conflict or being ostracized by other players. Not so in a video game.

IMO this is a good use for prisoners. If they will never be released from prison again it’s better that their organs be donated to others that need them. Even things like blood donation should be more frequent. It is the most direct way that I can see for a prisoner to give back to society.

Everyone should be an organ donor anyway.

And I really don’t understand the downvotes, people get hung up on consent as being a universal right even for criminals, but did the victims of criminals consent to having their own lives torn apart? Not to mention many of the organs being taken away are from prisoners that are already dead anyway.
Also worth remembering that depending on how you value inflation, $700 in 2008 when the iPhone 3G launched is somewhat over $800 now.

A more interesting question to me would be how the average buyer's cellular plan has shifted over that time — people tend to focus on the phone prices but not the greater monthly service charges.

AWS bill is a concern. I put alerts on billing but they do come with a delay.

I was thinking Digital Ocean. Or Heroku for the current project, but ended up with a design with quite a few serverless pieces using lambda. Which has a great free tier and is very useful for my use-case.

Would not say that AWS is too much complexity though.. When you go over things at least once and understand how thing fall together

As you say, they created a bunch of money. But also, we have less stuff (because when all those people who weren't working, they weren't doing whatever they normally did, and so there's missing output in the economy). So, more money and less stuff, and what do you know, we have inflation. This is my complete lack of surprise.

But, if we stop creating more extra money, and if people can return to work, then it should be transitory. I don't see reason why we should expect 5% inflation every year going forward.
>A physical store presence has way more positive effect for a society as a whole than online shopping has.

Yeah, but not for the planet.

It's incredibly inefficient for people to drive their car to a store and pick up items that take up like 5% of the total space in the vehicle; the ratio of fuel burned to goods shipped is terrible. Maybe grocery shopping isn't so bad, but going to the store to buy one TV or a few linens for the bedroom? What percent of the fuel burned was actually used to move the goods vs. to move the car? Not even 1%.

Compare this to filling up a diesel delivery truck to ship goods around town, optimized by algorithms for maximum efficiency.

The reason this keeps coming up is because Ethereum has not taken any concrete steps in its governance process to make it so that either DAO-like rollback will not happen again, or if it does, it happens with the measured consent of all stakeholders. Hard forks are still a regular occurrence in Ethereum, and most of them change the ETH emission rate (which makes it really hard for anyone who wants to park capital in ETH long-term to make informed decisions). Also, hard forks are executed entirely at the discretion of an in-group of core developers, whose decision-making powers stem from an inscrutable who-knows-who social graph (as opposed to the consent of the governed). The best assurance they seem to be giving that the funds they manage are in good hands is a statement to the effect of "trust us, it won't happen again." Forgive me if I'm not so willing to give them the benefit of doubt a second time.

Here are a few things Ethereum could do to reassure the world that the DAO disaster won't be repeated. I think that even if only a subset of these measures were adopted, it would at least demonstrate that the project has learned something from the experience.

* Create a representative "hard fork board" in the core developers group that procures and shepherds all future changes to the codebase that could create hard forks. Hard forks may only originate from this board, and membership in this board is decided through regular free and fair elections by individuals in the ecosystem (there would need to be a KYC-like process to verify that these individuals are actual, real Etherians).

* Make it so any hard forks proposed by this hard fork board can only take effect if a large amount of the total circulating supply of ETH to vote for the upgrade. This serves to allow the anonymous masses to check the power of the board.

* Involve miners (or block-producers in ETH 2.0) in the vote-to-upgrade procedure, such as by giving them veto power if they can muster enough mining or staking power. This ensures that developers can't make changes that would boot off marginalized miners/block-producers.

* Involve users in the vote-to-upgrade procedure. Make it so exchanges cannot vote with their users' funds; the users themselves must vote with their keys.
I've noticed that the language inspires how people write code, and the community.

Sure you can write functionally in Python with generators, first class and higher order functions, but its not really how the community writes (all the time).

Scheme isn't pure functional, it is mutable, but people write _as if_ it is immutable.
If we're getting technical:

CANSPAM doesn't cover account/privacy/ToS notices -- it's not a marketing message (falls into "other content").

I didn't "upload a mailing list manually" -- the emails are all attached to user records in my wholly-owned database. I send them from a queue on my own server, not through Mailgun's mailing list product (which queues a message to every email on the list instantly and doesn't allow you to ramp it up over time).

"Newsletter" is easier to type than "new content and product updates," but again -- these go out to existing customers and account holders. There's implied permission there from the fact that they signed up for an account. Opt-out is easy, and I don't feel guilty about emailing people who signed up for an account.

I would send this to the whole list if deliverability didn't go to hell after about 50k users (or maybe I just need to write better emails to keep people engaged/opening).

I’d argue that’s 3d printing’s niche.

Bricks are either expensive or require very long wait cycles to get the right parts from remote vendors (mostly China). They are also relatively big, which makes tight builds difficult, and they require a decent amount of expertise and building technique to make anything non trivial (that’s putting aside the mechanical knowledge that would be need whatever the material used).

For purely mechanical prosthetics it’s less of an issue, but adding electronics is also a PITA if size/weight matters in any way.

As an example, this youtube channel (https://youtube.com/c/BrickExperimentChannel) has some pretty advanced builds, and it often comes down to bricks as a frame/skeleton, and custom parts for the critical core.

In comparison 3d printing has a way higher upfront learning curve, but the people trying to build these contraption aren’t doing it for fun and would arguably be motivated to invest time and effort to make things better in the long run (they’d have to do it anyway even with bricks).
I agree, but I think for the purposes of this conversation it fits...laws emerge from the philosophy. simply making an effort to change the laws won't change the philosophy, it will just be an anachronism standing against the dominant philosophy.

Cultural moderation/curation like the one at HN leads to more discourse. After participating in online forums for 20 or so years I always feel more inclined to partake in forums in which the tone of discussion is friendly and level of discussion is high.

Free-for-all or laissez-fair moderation leads to a race to the bottom in the quality of posts.

Thanks for keeping HN a nice place everyone.
I’m considering a spin-off of NFTs which cryptographically proves that you dont own a link to a real or virtual object.

Of course it won’t prove whether or not you do own the real or virtual object, but that’s a tired old argument by people who don’t “get” the technological advancement.
Ok, so your claim is that a particular analysis of teacher compensation is invalid because it does not include factors you think are important but for which you offer no evidence in terms of significance or quantity other than a Gates Foundation self-reported survey in which the claim of 10.7 working hours still acknowledges that the "average required work day for teachers is 7.5 hours."

On the other hand, the comment with summary numbers cited Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers combined with an objective overall measure of productive working months of the year.

If the majority of teachers are so inefficient that they spend 44% additional hours to accomplish their daily mission then there is a much larger problem than compensation. That this occurs in a well-unionized occupation is bizarre. It's as if the unions were aligned against the workers for some reason.

Just a couple of days ago I was thinking on how a really decentralised AWS would look like. I think something on top of STORJ, GolemNetwork, IPFS and similar distributed technologies could work. One of the missing links is compatibility with current services. Storj already has S3 compatibility, but something that allows you to setup a "virtual machine" a la EC2 with specific allocated RAM/CPU/HDD would be an interesting use case.
Thanks for your insightful comments.

Something for me that falls under the rubric of "normal reciprocity" is an explanatory apology.

I remember past conversations with you where you claimed that EU's bureaucracy should get credit for changes that would've happened naturally on the market. Here as well you are arguing that bureaucracy is the reason to Japan's "peace", when there are plenty of possible alternative answers.

Just as an example, you could have at least try to attribute Japanese/Scandinavian/Swiss "peace" to the relative homogeneity of their populations and their cultural oikophilia (which gets often mistaken for xenophobia). It would be a much simpler explanation for the commonalities among different people, independently of scale and independently of any silly distinction between "external" and "internal" aggressiveness.

But instead of just considering Occam's razor, you start with a conclusion and then you try to build a narrative that gives some kind of support to it.

More about how some subs ban the hell out of dissenting opinions.

Look how r/politics morphed in the last 6 or so years. A few regional subs I frequent are the same way and are completely unrepresentative of the actual region. The Alberta (Canadian province) sub for example is basically just a bunch of kids who've never left home that think communism is a great idea lamenting why the rest of the province does want to leave their homes. It's such an un-representative sub it's actually hilarious, these days I basically only go for the Covid updates.

Yes, some subs are OK, I mean, Reddit's model is that each sub is its own world and moderators can more or less do what they want. But on the whole, HN has more (respectful) dissenting opinions versus Reddit's most subs are echo chambers and the rest are anarchy.

A big part of it is not just hardware based security, it's virtualization based security (VBS). Essentially adding a hypervisor layer under Windows that manages access to sensitive processes like lsass, which handles credential material. This is a huge improvement in the Windows security model, and even if there are bypasses, they are non-trivial and consist of more than just elevating to admin/SYSTEM as is the current case.

That's the point, you can't. That's why I believe that softer interventions like this would've reduced the number of people who turned hard against this as they wouldn't have nonsense to point at like that guy who got arrested for being alone on the beach or whatnot.

The resistance is proportional to the force used and the polarization of the populace. I'm trying to reduce those factors. Look at all the non-polarized states and you see that people aren't trying to manipulate each other into doing what they want, they're trying to help each other.
