Thank you!!

And thanks for the feedback!
We are building 2 things to address this:

1. A learning tree to progressively learn more complex words or verb tenses.

2. Word density options, so you can decide how much brain power you want to put into learning the language during each day.
Monopolies granted by the government lead to disasters for consumers. Even when such monopolies were originally granted with good intentions.

> I will continue to hope there is some kind of subscription to Google search without tracking and all.

This would be ideal as Google Search has the best results for me. But I don't see it ever happening.

Although I'm sure many people would pay, it'd be a drop in the ocean compared to all people that wouldn't (and hard to justify dedicating resources to it when you're already making tons of money with the ad-supported free version).
>Good job! $0.01 has been credited to your Google account.

If anyone should be paying me it should be Brave for pointing out their weak spots.
Those are sometimes actually well written though.
+1. I think they use Poppins, which IMO is one of the most overused Google fonts and also more of a display font.

I don’t know why they couldn’t use something more optimized for reading small characters like Inter or just use the system font stack.
This is easy. Offer a target membership for $100 a year. Pay employees who live nearby to deliver. Easy.
I haven't used Google for many years, so I can't speak to whether it shows personalized results today. But, I recently switched to Whoogle Search (https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search) which shows Google results but without the tracking. I am happy with it, that I have completely ditched DuckDuckGo in favor of it.
Some people believe alternative facts.

Interesting question really. Who should receive minimum wage? I would probably think of unskilled unskilled labour. That is only the labour starting in those unskilled positions. A few months should have already improved their productivity compared to peers just starting.

I just wish I could configure google to not show certain domains such as W3schools without adding a complex search query or installing plugins
What that really means is that the software has bugs and there's a hope that these will get fixed before they begin to be distributed. Note that there's more software in it than just Android.

Wait for a full review before hitting that buy button.

And we should appreciate journalists who disclose what Embargo is enforced on them.
About the tracking part, you may like to check Whoogle Search - https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search It's Google results without the tracking, and it can be self-hosted.
> "Explain how the development of new text editors seems to be talking up a significant chunk of available volunteer manpower? Even Emacs and vim couldn't possibly take up such a large chunk of the available manpower, since they are hard to even use and let alone hack on."

Kate? Kwrite? Kakoune? NeoVim? Featherpad? Gobby? Yudit? aoeui? Searching Ubuntu package descriptions for 'text editor' finds 98 of them. ( https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=bionic&searchon=all... ) Then consider all related things on:

These aren't springing out of nowhere, these are all massive amounts of duplicated human effort reinventing wheels over and over.

> "2) "hundreds of Linux distributions" is a myth and has been one for a very long time. The fact of the matter is that nearly every new user only needs to try three major distros"

Distrowatch tracks at least 276 different distributions and those are likely only a subset of all that have ever been created and released. It's bad enough to consider the duplication of effort, even worse if you only three matter.

All that wheel reinvention while important things were just crying out for available effort, right?

> "There's certainly no such thing happening broadly today. We want easy to use software, because that means we can get our parents and grandparents off of Windows."

Even while denying it, your own example is that easy to use software is for people who can't use computers. It's not for the likes of you. It's like a construction company that thinks power tools are for grandmas and handtools are for workers, it makes no sense at all.
Simple thought experiment.

You have 1 million job seekers, and 2 million jobs. Say there are two companies each with 1 million jobs.

How much does one of these companies have to pay to fill all of its jobs?

Of course in the real world, Labor force participation rate can change, or immigration can fill gaps. But how many who dropped out did so permanently?
There is a point in your life where this will all be put away, the longing, the regret, the desire, and the complexity.

I am beyond that event horizon. Looking out from a "Schwarzschild radius" on what other people choose to suffer, I remember being on the other side.

I am not going back.

There is a story about one who goes back, Avalokiteshvera.

That is not me, for now. None of us have the bandwidth.
No, as of 1 year ago the stock market had already recovered and exceeded its pre-pandemic levels. But sure, let's look at a few other intervals:

Compared to 2 years ago, the S&P 500 is up 51%, and the CPI is up 6.8%.

Compared to 3 years ago, the S&P 500 is up 63%, and the CPI is up 8.7%.

etc. Even if you think the CPI is somewhat underestimating inflation, it's clear that stock prices have been rising much faster than the value of the dollar is falling.
That's just not what I took away from the article. Out of sincere curiosity I would happily re-read it if you provided some quotes from the article that led to your interpretation. Maybe I can try to see it from your perspective if you highlighted parts that stuck out to you--I may have glossed over some parts that you read more carefully. My intention is not to gaslight; I'd like to keep an open mind, and of course I'd like to understand viewpoints currently counter to my own. And again, please hear me when I say this curiosity is sincere.

As I said previously, what I appreciated from the original slate article was the focus on amicable disagreement.
The average absolutely won't. The average dev misuses new language features.

Not in the US at least. But elsewhere, yes. The world as a whole? I agree with you, not close. But really that's fine.

If you're using uBlock, you can one-click block remote font loading from a domain in the badge popup menu (or write custom rules using the no-remote-fonts: or *$font syntax). This will force a fallback to system fonts, which should be perfectly fine.

This hardly the "best" solution, but, everyone has uBlock installed, and it's literally a 5-second hack.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s just me being worse at using keywords to search for what I need but I’ve noticed that it’s so much harder to find things that are actually helpful via google on stackoverflow etc.

Most annoying thing is when I restrict keywords and they still show up on the search results.

Now when I can’t find something on Google, instead of refining keywords, I give DDG or Bing a go first (both not always successful but half the time I find more useful links).

GoDaddy is a disgrace? It's shady shit?

C'mon, get some perspective.

I have been using GoDaddy for, well, I forget how long, maybe two decades. I have run websites for multiple companies from their servers. I can't remember a single issue. Not one. Even hosting and managing email. Frankly, I don't know what you are talking about.

I have also used Linode, AWS, Dreamhost, Rackspace and a bunch of others for different kinds of work. Not sure where the hatred for GoDaddy comes from.

I also know a bunch of people using GoDaddy servers. I think people repeat shit just because they think they sound "cool" and yet have no clue what they are talking about. Also, GoDaddy support, on the rare occasions they are needed, has always been top notch. So, yeah, no clue what you are talking about.

Compliments on a well communicated, insightful, and data driven look into a opaque industry that I've been curious about for a while!

I'm curious what you think about the relative price comparison to hostess work in LA outlined above. Either you're charging too little, or.. there's some.. interesting implied conclusions about the low relative cost (from the worker's perspective) for sex work! Or there's not enough information liquidity in the market? Or...

I Am Not An Economist, but... I can't shake the feeling there's a mispricing somewhere. Possibly a juicy topic for a paper, blog post, or Planet Money episode.

Also, that gonewild post is genius. Thanks for the laughs.
Ask HN: Is there a forum where people discuss problems instead of solutions?
I've found HN (and Product Hunt) to be great places to discuss technology based solutions. But I rarely get a sense of which problems are troubling users currently.

Is there some forum where people discuss problems and pain points, instead of new products and technologies?
From the article,

> Bezos said the company prohibits its employees from using data on individual sellers to benefit its own private-label product lines.

I could see someone hearing that and not realizing that per-SKU aggregation, or even clustered similar products, wouldn't break this rule.

we have some really scary laws. a spook is allowed to force an employee of a company to spy, collect data, install malware on their employer's computers and of course they can't talk about it to anyone.
no No NO!

Your parent posts are right. The definition of M1 changed. The "omg so much printing in the last year" folks are literally taking two different definitions that are $16 TRILLION dollars apart due to the change in Reg D and conflating them.

>Are you aware of the requirements needed to be a licensed, bonded electrician?

Yes. I'm also aware of their average income in the Bay Area, and it absolutely did not justify the price.

>Also, most electricians make more money doing new construction, especially condo or apartment buildings.

Barely any of that in the Bay Area.

>I can guarantee they just didn't think your project was important or worth it (and they're right). They see someone who can afford an electric car, and they know what it's worth to you to charge it.

Not where I live, need a city permit and a licensed installer. I'm leasing so that's what the home owner requires.

He talks about it in interviews. While he was at Facebook, he started an investment fund outside of work. Now I do not want to get sued for mischaracterizing what he did. You will have to listen to those interviews yourself.

Ask HN: How to write a convincing financial projection with little evidence?
I'm the co-founder of an early-stage startup and we plan to raise our seed round at the beginning of next year. I'm currently struggling with the classic 3-5 year business case/financial projection which includes numbers like earnings, growth, costs, cash flow. Obviously, investors want to know how fast and how big a startup can grow, but at this stage, it feels hard to come up with convincing numbers.

- How should we project our growth rate? The idea was to take our existing sales pipeline and anticipate a realistic closing rate of e.g. 30%. But what would be the growth rate for the following years? Should we look at the industry average?

- Does it even make sense to do a 5-year projection? would a 1-year projection satisfy seed investors too?

Any advice is highly appreciated!
Why mention stimulus when fiscal policy has nothing to do with money supply?

The money supply changes when the Fed decides to print money to acquire assets, which has nothing to do with congressional legislation.
I don't know, I like being able to see the mountains from Pasadena today. That wasn't possible in the 1980s.
Okay so let me be clear what I meant in the first line. I meant MBP users only wanted the ports to be fixed and keyboard since 2016. Getting the M chips that are this goods was a lottery winner for macOS users. I am saying this in a positive tone not negative (though I could have worded it wrong).

The second part is where I say that even if Apple has worked on ARM chips for their phones for quite some time tuning it, macs are still significant product and even if the chips are in house its still a gamble to completely shift a product from what was basically an x86 monopoly. What I meant is that the way Apple pulled it off is rare in the business.
I have personally found that when searching for developer documentation, as you mentioned, unfortunately nothing beats Google. I can always find what I’m looking for very quickly. But when I try DuckDuckGo, it’s a mess of irrelevant or weak pages.
I hate how smart it tries to be.

Sometimes you need to search an intentional misspelling, say, "Aple" (just an example), Google will helpfully try to correct you with "did you mean Apple?", and even if you put the word in quotes you still get results for Apple, not my intentionally misspelled search. Listen to what I'm trying to tell you, dumb machine.

They've tweaked it so it only respond to what it thinks you want to search, not what you've asked of it, and there's no way around it.

Computers are so much better when they take your input literally.

This is such an easy optimization that Google has to have tried it and seen their ad revenue fall.

"Permanently remove this site from search results" seems like the absolute easiest "personalization" to implement.

That’s funny because that’s not far from what Amazon argued for 24 years while they didn’t charge and pay sales tax between 1994-2017. They think they are special when it benefits them and think they are the same when it benefits them.

As someone else said, Docker introduces yet another level of crazy to having to deploy a Python/Django app. I've looked into and used all of these technologies. We have developed internal "How To" documents on how to deploy different types of apps into a variety of environments. Reading through the Python/Django "How To" is a sobering experience.

This coming from someone who would truly like to use Python/Django exclusively. I hate, hate, hate telling people to just use WP or go a different route. I do not enjoy touching PHP. And yet...
You’re comparing apples to oranges. Inequality is not the same as labor vs. capital. There are many rich laborers (surgeons, investment bankers, software engineers) and there are many poor capital holders (pensioners, widows, orphans).

Inequality has primarily increased because the wages of high earners has pulled away from median wages. Returns to capital have if anything declined, in contrast. And no, these high earners are not all or even majority executives. CEOs of public companies only make a very small fraction of wage earners in the top one percent. Far more common are physicians, attorneys, tech workers, financial managers, and other professionals.

Nor is it an issue that these are high earning workers are “not paying their fair share”. Almost all of their income is taxed as ordinary income at high marginal rates. Many live in high tax states like California or New Jersey and are paying well over 50% marginal rates.

Once you account for post tax-and-transfer income, inequality in the United States has not increased at all in the past 50 years.

> Why mention stimulus when fiscal policy has nothing to do with money supply?

Why, indeed. (More explicitly: I'm pretty clearly critiquing to an implicit conflation of the two, not positing one.)

> The money supply changes when the Fed decides to print money to acquire assets, which has nothing to do with congressional legislation.

Just to be pedantic since this whole thing 40% defies any presumption of reasonable numeracy... this is entirely irrelevant to the bat-shit insanity 40% claim.

If the Fed changed the statutory definition of M1 to now include $11 trillion that definition 100% existed previously but wasn't part of the formal statutory definition of M1. So M1 "increased" in one immediate massive instantaneous step change by exactly $11 trillion. Shocker! Again, not because anything real changed in the actual money supply. But because a bunch of money that definitely did already exist previously but wasn't part of a definition denoted by "M1" was added to the definition of "M1".
My AirPod Pros with transparency mode enabled and set to max volume and treble don’t provide as much gain as my MDHearingAid pair ($400), and the external sound quality isn’t as good.

Apple has a real opportunity here, and they are slow in seizing it. I suspect some kind of an arrangement with the hearing aid manufacturers regarding iPhone-ready hearing aids.

The name of the game here is to allow people to dial in their own preferred level of compression (amplifying soft sounds more than looks sounds) and equalization using their iPhones.
There is also startpage.com, which gives you Google search results but with privacy. But my problem is finding relevant information.
Intelligent Tiering no longer has the 30 day and 128KB limit[0], but it does still have a "monitoring and automation" charge of $0.0025 per 1,000 objects[1] for the objects larger than 128KB. This may be significant if you have a very large number of objects. Potentially you could pay more than Standard if your objects all end up staying in the frequent access tier.

So I hate to be the "econ 101" guy here, but unfortunately this is an egregious case.

Jobs are not these floating vacancies that exist without workers or wages. Rather, a company will say, at a wage of 50 cents, want 5 million jobs. At a wage of $1, want 1 million jobs. At a wage of $2, want 500,000 jobs. At a wage of $3, want 200,000 jobs, etc. In other words, as wages go up, various activities that employ labor become unprofitable and the labor is no longer demanded at the higher wage.

In other words, there is a schedule, or function, relating how many jobs the firm wants as a function of the wage.

Similarly, there are not 1 million job seekers at any price. For a wage of 50 cents, there may only be 100,000 seekers. For a wage of $1, there may be a million, for a wage of $2 there may be 2 million, etc. Thus workers are not willing to work for any wage. As the wage goes up, more people enter the labor market. How does that happen? People delay retirement, or they postpone taking some time off for other reasons, or they switch from a part time job to a full time job or even take on extra hours. Yup, people respond to incentives.

Sometimes there is a news article pointing this out, and some commenters here react as if this is some profound revelation that poses a challenge to capitalism, etc, rather than just basic supply and demand. Want more workers? Increase the pay.

Now one of these is an increasing curve, the other is a decreasing curve, and thus there is some market clearing wage at which both the jobs demanded by firms is equal to the workers desiring to work at that wage. Therefore "in the real world", the number of jobs equalizes to the number of workers assuming workers are allowed to enter/exit the labor market and assuming that firms are allowed to adjust the offer wage.

This is the basic stuff. Once the basic stuff is understood, we can add various complications, like a search market, information asymmetry, transition costs, downward "stickiness" of wages, occupational licensing making it illegal for workers to enter, expectations, etc. One can cook up odd situations in which one of these curves is backwards bending, resulting in two equilibria, one "good", one "bad", etc. But all these complications merely add second order adjustments to the Marshallian scissors.

But if your simple thought experiment is ignoring curves and thinking there are just two numbers "workers available" and "jobs open", and one may be too big for the other, so there are "too few" jobs or "too many" jobs, then it's a bad thought experiment.
