Not sure I agree with your first point. Next can output static sites easily, I've used it for some tiny marketing sites recently and I think its fine for small sites. You get auto routing, and can use react components without any hassle.

And 'sufficiently dynamic web apps still will want a SPA' doesn't make much sense to me because you can just use nextjs in full SPA mode and its just as 'dynamic' as any react app

> It makes my flesh crawl to see college reduced purely to ROI, but at least they're honest that that's what they're doing.

This comment is coming from the position of privilege. And I cannot possibly agree to it.

Gone are the good old days of cheap/free college in the US. As parents, it is our responsibility to help our kids to avoid these "new" financial traps.

These kids will be robbed from their own future if we let them be enslaved to large debts. Not to mention a lot of other complex issues such as jobs disappearing due to automation, greater wealth gap even between the middle class, etc.

The kids are too young to understand these traps. We should help them.
> Them using an Element bridge is no different than them using an extra device you didn't know about.

It is different in a big way. That extra device would most likely only transit this one user's messages. The Element bridge transits a ton of users and as such is an attractive target for mass surveillance.

> That device could've well been [..] hosted in the cloud.

The capability of self-hosting is very niche. Only technical people could pull that off. Element is working hard to make using this bridge so easy that your grandmother could do it.

Fauci is dragging his feet because it's about power. The evidence is painting a very different picture from what power-hungry commentators on the internet or mass media are trying to say.

Everyone should pay their fair share of taxes and to overburden a group of people because we don't like what they do (smoke, drink, etc) or who they are (poor) not only puts an undue burden on people already suffering for our moral objectives (quit smoking, quit drinking), but allows others (non-smokers, non-drinkers) to pay less taxes than their fellow citizens.

Wealthy people certainly can afford to smoke and drink all they want, it's just the poor people who aren't allowed with sin taxes. Just doesn't sit right with me.

I feel as if I did that.

This is exactly Japan's lost decade - lots of government debt and only deflation - mainly in the 90s.

I think the difference is Japan is a a country with all its needs met. People already had enough money to spend on basic needs (unlike post WW1 Germany or Zimbabwe recently) so additional money didn't change that but there was a housing bubble.

Maybe we should get rid of the payroll taxes? The operating assumption underlying all of your arguments is that bigger government is better. I do not agree. It seems to me that government has passed the tipping point where it's primary motivation is to sustain it's own growth. It may be better for society to rebuilt the reliance on local community and family vs continuing to make bad investments in growing our mega bureaucracy.
> Propane and methane are very different, and you should be careful about the differences if you use either.

Also be careful to note that "natural gas" is mostly methane but with a significant mix of heavier hydrocarbons too.
Wow that's amazing! Basically a community-sized thermal battery. I find the design curious; they use insulation around the outside, but still bored 144 holes on the inside, I guess the bottom is just left alone as solid rock.

They heat it with solar energy, and pull out heat during the winter. I wonder how well this would work to provide both AC/cooling during the summer and heating during the winter in climates that experience both, like the midwest US. Perhaps using the pumped water as a stable, biased thermal source for a reversible heat pump.

Not in my experience. There was a fire in the third floor unit of a building I was living in (one floor up and one unit over). It was a three floor building, so that was a roof unit. The firefighters cut vent holes and were able to contain the damage to that unit.
That’s putting it mildly. Developers who don’t know about Oracle and enterprise-scale databases are like car designers who haven’t heard of Ford.

This is why HN teems with NoSQL database nonsense and ideas like 100K rows is a scaling problem.
If you don’t control the fusarium from time to time, the tomato plants will look great but give no yield. One of the other commenters mentions a new technique for winter cover crop to avoid rotation. I’m not really sure how much of a risk fusarium is for a home garden, it might be as much as our farm or perhaps minimal.

Nitrogen is necessary for proteins so you can get larger yields, but if some other nutrient is missing then nitrogen alone won’t help. K and P also need to be present in good quantities, as well as a mixture of iirc 17 elemental trace elements. I’d use a well-rounded fertilizer like 7-7-7, and if it wasn’t growing then assume there was a disease or pest at play.

Fair enough, but couldn’t a ban on people who do not have the vaccine be considered as discrimination ? Since when does an ice cream shop ask you if you already had your flu shot ?
To be fair, I think it's less about control than about naked populism- vaccine mandates, and many other covid measures are wildly popular. It's basically mob rule. Liberal democracy is supposed to have built in protections for this, but when they get ignored, all bets are off. Right wing populists ignoring liberal democratic norms was the big fear a few years ago, and now it has swung far to the left.

There is some element of control as you say, but I think it's more in the "show you're a member of our religion" sense than in the government or corporate control sense. This is a war people are waging on themselves.

> Basically, liquidity goes to the banks. Anyone having a relationship with banks gets access to this liquidity and benefits.

Ding ding ding. This is a key issue. If you want to bail out the economy, you need to do it to increase aggregate demand, and therefore the best way to do this is to give money directly to the people. The programs in place since 2008 (1) benefit people with capital (2) leave the poor and the working class in the dust, and (3) are paid for by milking the taxpayers directly, or indirectly through inflation.

Banks are leacherous middleman in normal operation. Theoretically they are providing a valuable service of evaluating risk and allocating capitable to the most profitable ventures. But in practice the incentives are totally misaligned, since they do not get accurately punished/rewarded for doing a shit job. Not to mention old-fashioned corruption, understood as giving undue benefit to a party/parties due to their personal connections.
I'm not saying that they go out of their way to make it inconvenient; I'm saying that making it more convenient is probably not going to give them an ROI of any sort .

> I _could_ go to each of my contacts and explain why I don't want them to do things like use the cool new Element service with Signal.

Yes, I totally agree that this would be a huge hassle. But what's your proposed alternative? Reaching out to every programmer in the world and convincing them to never write any software that can act as a Signal client?

You are generalizing. Plenty of people do want to take drugs and aren't addicted. There's also plenty addicted to legal substances. While some recreational drugs have higher harm profiles 'they 99% don't want to use' is way off and you need better statistics to make decisions on what and how should be legal/decriminalized/whatever.

THIS! Thank you for bringing this up. Few people talk about this coming death spiral. This is really going to mess up a lot of countries incomes and may have severe worldwide political ramifications. In your opinion when do you think it will trigger? It feels like when it does actually happen, its going to happen quickly. From my vantage point in the US it still seems like the majority are not realizing what is coming. Hell Companies like Ford are still introducing new vehicle platforms in ICE configuration only (Ford Bronco for example) and people are buying them up without any consideration as to the future so I suspect it won't happen this decade.

I don't know enough about the economics of the fossil fuels supply chain to make a reasonable calculation.

In terms of your other calculations your targets seems very reasonable. Its amazing at how Tesla is iterating so fast on things like Battery and Motor design. Its super sexy to see the new stuff they keep pumping out(even if the founder seems like a jerk)
Another problem of predicting the movement of other players is that if they stop before you can see them, the trajectory would be interpolated further such that you can see them around the corner for a split second, knowing they are waiting there.
I understand your point, but having worked with Rails and now working on a React + Flask app, Next.js is the closest thing to Rails we have so far.

And, having worked on a Rails + React app a few years back, I can safely say that is about as complext as a Next.js full-stack app.

I do love Rails and I still think the React + Something on Backend environment is still not there yet (at least not like Rails 4 and 5, which were the ones I used), but Next.js is getting there.

When you factor stuff like Redwook.js and possible Remix.js when it gets open-sourced, for me it gets pretty clear that the trend now is to try to make the Rails of the JS world.

And I would love that. Honestly, people complain about Node and JS, but working in Python/Flask can be just as frustrating. Issue for me is more lack of conventions than language.
Similarly, over the years I've read the novel in my mother tongue (multiple times), watched Lynch's movie, read the original and finally listened to the audiobook. I have seen Dune today in IMAX 3D and I simply loved it.
