> They are the roots for growth, where in cities, the marginal value they contribute is a fraction of what they can contribute outside of one.

It sounds like you are ascribing some special virtue to rural living that I just don't see. When I think about work that adds social value, very little of it requires rural living (farming, mostly) and most of it can be done anywhere (computer programming, skilled trades, manufacturing, etc.). Why is a person's contribution bigger if they are rural? What special value is there in doing these things in a place no one lives? Why do we need to increase growth in some arbitrary rural location.

> There is a prevailing political worldview predicated on warehousing people in cities and making them dependent on public services

And ironically, you are arguing that we should be providing these people a public service, presumably because they are dependent on it. I fail to see where the cut off should be.
I think the only module I took that was close to this, for CompSci in UK, was on technical writing.

I think any differences in this are down to how much power is ECU software willing to apply to maintain idle speed.
I actually think the hardware (at least in gen2) is pretty good, and the software has progressed from "OK but a bit rough" to also being pretty good. I can accept the high device price given what a niche market they have, but the subscription prices are a massive over-reach relative to the value delivered. Charging business customers (eg for more flexible isolated/shared storage accounts and other collaboration features) would have made sense, but the current model feels like they just plucked a number out of the air based on what other subscriptions cost, with no reference to the consumer value delivered.
Hmm 250 million a year from Bezos. Who made something like $50 billion in that time-frame.

Can I get the 2% tax rate too, or is it just for Bezos?
For anyone else curious about what exactly Apple means by "track" in the phrase "The Apple advertising platform does not track you": https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/apple-advertisin...

> Apple’s advertising platform does not track you, meaning that it does not link user or device data collected from our apps with user or device data collected from third parties for targeted advertising or advertising measurement purposes, and does not share user or device data with data brokers.

What Apple's advertising platform does do is personalize ads based on your keyboard language settings, device type, OS version, mobile carrier, connection type, device location if you've enabled Location Services and you've given permission to the App Store or Apple News apps, App Store search queries, and the type of news story you read.

In addition, Apple uses information "such as" the following specific features to assign you to an audience segment at least 5000 people in size:

- name, address, age, gender if you've disclosed it, and devices registered to your Apple ID account. If you didn't disclose your gender, "information such as your first name in your Apple ID registration page or salutation in your Apple ID account may be used to derive your gender."

- Music, movies, books, TV shows, and apps you download, as well as any in-app purchases and subscriptions. They don't allow targeting based on downloads of a specific app or purchases within a specific app (including subscriptions) from the App Store, unless the targeting is done by that app's developer, so that's nice, I guess.

- publications you follow, subscribe to, or enable notifications from

- How you actually interact with Apple ads (unclear if "interact" here is limited to view and click, or if they attribute downstream actions to their ads)

Notably, "No Apple Pay transactions or Health app data is accessible to Apple's advertising platform, or is used for advertising purposes."

---

Granted, Apple doesn't use third-party data for "targeted advertising or advertising measurement purposes," and they do not share your user or device data with "data brokers." I imagine not all users would agree that their ad personalization activity doesn't count as "tracking" in the practical sense.
a16z, Accel, and now Sequoia have become hedge funds. And Tiger and other hedge funds have started doing VC investments. Interesting bundling and unbundling of the industry.
Half a billion/year from Google is hardly underfunded. Maybe if they used this money better they wouldn't have to kick 250 engineers last year.
John Von Neumann’s method of creating a uniform distribution of random numbers from a skewed source (too many zeros) was:

“(From a stream of) bits, (take) two at a time (first and second, then third and fourth, and so on). If the two bits matched, no output was generated. If the bits differed, the value of the first bit was output … (this) can be shown to produce a uniform output even if the distribution of input bits is not uniform so long as each bit has the same probability of being one and there is no correlation between successive bits.” (Edited from Wikipedia)
> one needs to trust that Worldcoin is actually doing what they say they are doing

Right, and that's a big part of the problem.

With all of the data abuse that the industry has already engaged in, it's silly to trust any company just because they say "trust us". Worldcoin has given no reason to trust them.
I find it really funny how we talking about socialization like it's just for really young kids when we all have experience dealing with adults that never learned the skills.

College is expensive socialization to be sure, so make sure to go for other reasons as well -- but if you aren't going to parties, making friends, and doing stupid shit then you're missing out on part of the real tangible value provided by colleges which is community. (And to be clear this is something totally separate from professional networking.)
I’m not familiar with compositors, so unfortunately I don’t have a ready answer, only more questions.

What makes a WindowLayoutEngine “a state-holding object with proper structures?” How is it different from “a data tree with proper structure,” except that the former includes methods inside the class instance while the latter relies on functions to operate on the data tree?
This isn't even a solution to wealth inequality so I think your question isn't relevant. Wealth inequality is a complex problem and you can't fix it by just taxing people more.

To actually answer your question, I don't have a solution, but I also don't think the problem is as bad as people make it out to be.

For this article's specific case I'd just patch the simple hole that you can't skip taxes by passing your shares on after you die. As long as the tax basis date isn't reset on inheritance, everything still works. Someone will pay the taxes eventually. It's an easy change and doesn't really change anything for the lives of most people and it makes more rational sense that way. It's basically fixing a bug in the current law.
I think you're confusing cause and effect. The constitution was an agreement between states, and the senate was a compromise to ensure signers would retain power even if their population was dwarfed by other states. It is highly unlikely that it was intended to empower slave states; when it was created, only Massachusetts wasn't a slave state. Same goes for the electoral college.

Also, in 1790 the US was much less urbanized. 5% of people lived in cities (vs 80+% today), and the economy was primarily agricultural. It was not a world in which the rural-urban divide was particularly significant. All states were rural states.

If every political decision in the US before the Civil War was made with the aim of preserving slave state power, why is it the South that left the Union? Couldn't they have just used their power?

I'd like to correct my previous comment. I said that the three-fifths compromise was the only consitutional component of slavery; in fact there were two others. The fugitive slave clause, and a clause forbidding the federal government from restricting the slave trade. I apologize for these errors.
That's an interesting project, however you might want to consider slightly altering the CSS for the homepage: http://rupy.se/

Currently the main font:

I'm getting a manual transfer switch installed - I live in the city (although it's rural-ish where I live) but we get occasional power outages and it's often enough (and long enough) to be worth the annoyance of getting a generator and switch installed, but not enough for me to shell out big $$$ for a natural gas generator and automatic transfer switch to ensure 100% uptime for my house.

That's an interesting distinction. Do you think that maybe the agglomeration you describe is one of the reasons that post-Windows office tools seem to have worse productivity?

I've never used old office software, but I could imagine that each office application being distinct allowed them to focus user interfaces on the exact use cases of each product, instead of trying to build on least-common-denominator metaphors that can be shared between office products of different kinds.
I'm not concerned about wealth. I'm concerned with consumption.

If you have a billion in stock but live a humble life, what's the point in taxing it? You'll live the same way, and sell some stock. But selling stock to pay taxes is not necessarily good, unless whatever the government does with the money is better than whatever the company was going to do. Sure, it could be good, but it's not a slam dunk.

The idea of wealth is just very different in the modern world. If wealthy people were hoarding (keeping a bunch of stuff without using it), then taxing would put that stuff back to use. But wealthy people hold onto money-producing assets, which means someone is still using the stuff. Not always, but often. So it means that taxing it just takes it from one use (say, by a corporation) and puts it to another use (maybe a government use).

I'd much prefer that we tax consumption. It could be a 1000% tax for a Ferrari. Encourages better use of stuff and can be very progressive without triggering as much anger.
The paper shows that the ROI for college in the US is positive for many, but not all, majors and schools. It’s literally the entire point of the paper, complete with data, graphs and the rest.

Not as positive as some might think, and there are a significant number of losers, but only “a few degree programs” being positive is not supported by the data.

Not even close. I can evaluate the likelyhood of my partner being compromised. I can’t evaluate the likelyhood of a gateway I may not even know about being compromised.

The introduction of these gateways makes the entire system less trustworthy.

Honestly I can’t see how Matrix/Element can stand behind this in good conscience. It is strictly a harm to the goal of enabling private communications. I literally found myself thinking it was a joke when I read it, and I no longer think matrix/element are serious.

Ask HN: Package Management for Kubernetes
Kubernetes has been around for 7 years now.

I often think about Kubernetes as a Cloud Operating System (an interface to operate a cloud infrastructure).

Coming from the Linux ecosystem, where every distribution has a package manager (be it apt for debs, dnf for rpms, etc...), it seems weird to me that no such solution exists (AFAIK) for Kubernetes.

So far, we've seen Helm/Tanka which looks a lot like the tar.gz archives you'd deploy on a Slackware and wish for the lack of conflicts. In other words: no true dependency management (even with subcharts).

Same with FluxCD and ArgoCD, you need to write yourself the source and wire the dependencies together yourself. This is like giving you APT without a repository (dpkg?).

I just wish I could say "I have this package, it relies on cert-manager to generate certificates, install it if it's not already".

I wish I could have a `PackageRepository` resource that would act like a line in your APT's sources.list and deploy `PackageDefinition` resources in my cluster.

I wish I could have a `Package` resource that would deploy my application and its dependencies if not already installed.

You would get the following commands out of the box:

- kubectl get repositories -> list the repositories configured in your cluster
- kubectl get pkgdefs -> list available packages in your cluster
- kubectl get packages -> list installed packages in your cluster

The underlying package could be an Helm chart, a kapp-controller manifest, or ArgoCD applications. It does not really matter (it would be like tar.gz vs tar.xz vs ... for your Linux package manager).

Is there work on this subject going on? Is it worth putting time into it (seems a lot of work)?

What do you think HN?
Just so I understand your claim:

My agenda is that I am advocating for the rights of Julian Assange - who exposed various embarassing government secrets for the Bush administration...

.. and simultaneously my agenda is also that I am advocating against Hillary Clinton, the political opponent of George W Bush?

Our local Indian news channel NDTV (which leans left) released a story in 2016 about Hillary Clinton asking her housekeeper Marina Santos to print out classified information. The US Government has no problem with this. I don't think that the housekeeper having access to classified information is in the public's best interests. I do think that the releases made by Assange and Snowden are in the public interest. But the US government has a problem with this.

This is the double standard that I am highlighting - the US government (regardless of who is running it) is demonstrably and fairly consistently at odds with what is in the best interests of the public when it comes to privacy, social media, etc. etc.

Slower growth companies? The piece is about wanting to hold their stake in portfolio companies like Square, Zoom and Snowflake post-IPO.

I really want to call this argument pedantic, but so was mine. And I can't argue against your argument's correctness or validity.

Please don't post in the flamewar style to HN. If you want to make a nuanced point about personal responsibility, ok, but turning it into a big binary polarity and then blaring condemnatory, dismissive rhetoric at the pole you disapprove of is no way to do this.

You say you know it is harsh—that's already a reason not to do it here. Maybe "harsh" can do some good when there's already a strong relational connection with the other person. (Emphasis on maybe, because people who take harsh stances generally are paying more attention to their own ideas than to the person they're commenting on—but no doubt it does happen sometimes.) Here, however, you're broadcasting to thousands of people over the internet, with zero relational connection. In such a context, it's merely provocative and destructive, and one could even say selfish.

Propane and methane are very different, and you should be careful about the differences if you use either. Propane is almost always sold as liquefied propane gas (LPG) at a relatively low pressure, whereas natural gas is almost always sold in its pressurized or compressed gaseous form. The most important difference is that if you have a natural gas leak, it will 'float' in the air, and dissipate; propane will (dangerously) 'sink', and pool around the source, and is liable to explode. Indoor propane installations should always have at least one propane detector.

No, it works fine with any static hosting system, like S3+CDN, Netlify or others. The API feature (FaaS) needs special server handling to run, but they're just Node functions, so other systems also add support.

The main benefit of NextJS is that it makes it very easy to write code once and quickly swap whether it's going to be statically generated ahead of time, rendered on the server, or rendered dynamically on the client. It also comes with a bunch of features you'll likely need for a modern web page like image optimization and a really nice PaaS to deploy it to.
It is a tricky issue, and you might be right. It's also very hard to parse when a conversation goes this mainstream what the true essence of it is. I mean, basically all topics lose nuance when they go this mainstream.

It really doesn't matter to the game theory of the system.

If bitcoin somehow managed to create a system in which general CPUs were the only thing that can be used to mine, it would just mean that we'd have CPU shortages as the people with wealth and power would buy them all up. Or at least, they'd buy up all the best ones and the plebs would get the low clock speed units that can only hash at a fraction of the rate.

The "one CPU, one vote" idea sounds nice to those of us with democratic ideals believing all humans should have an equal vote, but it just fundamentally doesn't work in practice.
Really interesting how the browser is becoming the universal OS

Firefox spent 2011-2016 creating a browser-based operating system called FirefoxOS (for smartphones). I used to think it was a terrible idea and a waste of Mozilla's resources. Now I wonder if I was wrong, and perhaps it was a good idea - but simply too early and too immature?
