> I don't think I've ever heard of a politician even talking about that though

You have to consider that legislative members tend to own property and tend to be baby boomers. They are far removed form the experiences that younger generations have to deal with - from their perspective, their home value can go up 20% in 2 years and that will be rationalized as a normal market. They are not talking about it because they are benefiting financially, and talking about may make them hurt financially. This will change, baby boomers cannot live forever even though they behave as though no future generations exist.
But then, it's probably FB that facilitated that kind of behavior, so more mixed feelings.

It was one of those "by continuing to use our service(s), you are opting-in" t&C's updates.

It’s fun and interesting. What other reason do they need? You’re latching on to the premise that a show or movie based on a book must strictly adhere to that book or else it’s not good. It doesn’t. It can be loosely coupled or tightly coupled.

You’re disappointed because you have set expectations on what they should do. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad. I got over the “it must follow strictly” mindset a long time ago.

I found it much more helpful to find people's own Nix setups and learn from them, by the way. Mine is at https://github.com/Smaug123/nix-dotfiles - like all such things, it's a WIP, and I'm definitely still a noob, but bits of it may be able to help.

> Why do we keep expanding highways when it is proven that it does not help?

Expanding highways increases throughput almost everytime. Certainly, it rarely ends congestion. It often reduces congestion, but that depends on how far the capacity is behind the actual demand.

In most places I've lived, road expansion is a response to increased demand from increased population, either through density or sprawl (but usually both). If you let population increase without increasing tranport capacity, you get congestion. That's true for roads and mass transit. Ideally, as the population grows, you expand both. But, expanding roads is often simpler, as you can do it in parts, addressing bottlenecks one at a time, whereas mass transit isn't very effective with piece-wise solutions; I can't easily drive to a highway transit station, take that 10 miles, then drive to my final destination, I need at least one of the local trips to be on transit/walkable and have parking available or have favorable conditions for biking (weather, physical ability, room on transit, managable hills).
Unless regulation is brought, they're going to do it anyway. The companies are absolutely going to be doing facial recognition and use that data, they just will be doing it without exposing the use of it to us.
The fella who invented lithium ion batteries invented:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_battery

https://spectrum.ieee.org/john-goodenough-glass-battery-news...

Quebec hydro is actually developing it to go to grid scale. They have much better performance and none of the problems. In fact the early evidence is that the batteries somehow get better over time.
But why does it have to be that way? They ship off-the-shelf RAM and SSDs in the Framework fully or partially assembled kits. They released CAD files and drawings for their module system. They actually sell replacement parts for other components, much like an OEM automaker does. If my touchpad dies I'd rather be able to swap it out with a new $100 part than buy a whole new $1500 laptop.

It's a new company and have not been tested yet in terms of backwards-compatibility and ongoing inventory. But just because you can't swap parts in most laptops doesn't really imply that you shouldn't be able to.

Yup, exactly. Most used seem to be loans to buy more crypto.

With centralized lenders (Nexo, Celsius, Blockfi) you sign over ownership of your crypto to them and hope they will meet their promises.

In Defi it’s programmatic. I am less familiar with the mechanics there. I figure there is massive risk when I see 20+% yields but do not understand the system.
2021 is the “let’s bring back normal stuff” year, after Apple restored USB, HDMI, Magsafe ports and the F1 keys ;)

What next, moving back from the Cloud, data ownership, Youtube having chronological ordering instead of “We chose what you should watch because we want to influence your political opinions” ???
in my experience 8 years professionally as a dev fullstack with front end focus. the highly competent often lose their eagerness to contribute over time anyways OR they go elsewhere and work in a new area where they dont have competency from the get go. so instead of being an asshole "with talent" eventually they end up just being an asshole whos very slightly better then the next guy. Either that or, more likely they learn that collaboration is more then just producing code they want and they become not an asshole.
When it comes to bandwidth, supply is largely fixed and the suppliers (ISPs, AWS) are corrupt or would rather just collect rents. It's incredibly difficult for a new company to make inroads as well (even for a company like Google, which seems to have paused its Google Fiber rollout)
Show HN: Frej – iOS weather app as analog clocks
Weather apps nowadays seem to be less and less about data and just about looking nice. I was frustrated by this so I wrote Frej (from the Norse god of fair weather). https://apps.apple.com/se/app/frej/id1566974295?l=en

You can instantly see the weather for the entire day (24h) in two circles of 12h each. A yellow arc shows when the sun is up. A blue arc when present shows rainfall, with a thicker line meaning lots of rain.

Weather data is supplied by Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com/) which I found out about via a Show HN.

The source code is on Github: https://github.com/boxed/frej
This was the approach that made the most sense to me.

Purchase a house where you can afford the 15-year fixed mortgage, but take out the 30-year fixed mortgage. Pay it off as if it were the 15-year fixed (ensure that your loan has no penalties for prepayment or extra payments, and that 100% of extra payments go toward the principal).

If things go smoothly for you, you’ll pay a marginal amount of additional interest (because your % will be higher as a 30-year than a 15-year). However, if you run into cash flow issues, you have a good amount of reduction in mortgage payments that you can make while keeping the bank completely satisfied.
> COVID, defund the police, rising crime, suburbs more attractive with work from home, etc.

If there are any cities for which this is true, it’s cities like Seattle and Portland. Theoretically, they are not desirable to live in because of COVID, very high crime rates, not idea for working from home, huge public safety problems, etc.

But rent is higher than it has ever been.
1. Entropy (time taking its toll) in terms of corruption at every possible level of material, culture, liberty, biology, political.

2. Inter-generational discounting (you can't make the next generation care about what you cared about) driving a lack of upkeep for essential yet invisible infrastructure.

3. Threats from space: Coronal mass ejection, cometary impact, meteor impact.

IMHO neither AI nor Global warming are as much a threat to human civilization. They could really suck, but they're not going to send us back to the bronze age or extinct us. We're pretty damn clever and resilient.
Apple machines still needs constantly updates, and worse, they keep nagging you.

My only macOS installation is a Catalina one, and Apple keeps wanting me to upgrade it to Big Sur, that I don't want for some reasons. However, the only workaround I found to stop the update badge from appearing (that is really distracting since it confuses me if this is something important or not) is to set some strange flag and kill Finder. If I open settings for any reason, the update badge reappears and this is really infuriating.

My system with the last amount of maintenance is my NixOS installation, where any workaround that I need for software/hardware issues are forever described in my dotfiles. So yeah, I need to find how to fix something once, however afterwards it will just work. Also different from Apple I can do upgrades when I want, they're atomic and I can also do rollbacks, so they're pretty much safe from a user perspective.
CentOS most certainly was shut down, and replaced with CentOS Stream, which is a similar product that went from at least as stable as RHEL and not having ABI breakage, to the beta for the next RHEL and having ABI breakage. Close enough for many uses, but not the same thing.

Increasing Value of Action Oriented Personalities
Opening them doesn’t mean it’ll be taken up. Everyone had a commandore so there was enthusiasm for it. This is another generic very niche laptop that has no defining benefits over others and so will find it hard to convince anyone to make some niche parts that doesn’t have a large install base.
Agree, although it seems to me the definition of hypercar will change some of the parameters to measure them. ie acceleration may not be valid anymore, one of the fastest production cars is now a sedan, the Tesla Plaid, that costs ~140k and is comparable to the multi million Rimac models.

I get that for people from IT it sounds surprising, but from a hardware perspective I would say it’s a good change.

Instead of having a SPI flash memory with the firmware they’ve gone ahead and merged that into a single flash memory.

It’s weird because we are used to see disks as independent modules, but for these devices that’s simply a useless distinction, something that we keep for legacy reasons, not because it provides any meaningful advantage.

Finding packages is not the hard bit :P the hard bit is learning how to do anything. The Pills teach you how the language and "runtime" works, but nixpkgs is gargantuan and requires a whole lot of extra learning, as is home-manager, as is nix-darwin.
In my experience, this is also good advice when thinking about distributed systems. If an algorithm doesn't make sense when imagined with people in an office, it usually also doesn't work in a computer.
In practice, exhausting NAND write endurance is usually not what causes SSDs to fail in the field. It is especially unlikely to be the underlying cause of unexpected and seemingly premature catastrophic SSD failure.

Also, it is not possible for an SSD to decrease your usable storage space over time. That would break any partition table format or filesystem that expects an ordinary block device. It also wouldn't win you any significant increase unusable lifespan, because when your drive starts retiring large numbers of blocks, all of your blocks are on the verge of failure. (Though keep in mind that "failure" here is defined as "only able to retain data for one year" for consumer SSDs).
In all fairness, the author is not a product manager by title or training. He's only sharing "product management" tricks or techniques that's helped him during his own development. If you've done these things for a while, may not be much to take away here, but for junior PMs or junior engineers, this is probably enough to shift their thinking a bit.

I agree that 2.6b is chump change relative to the US housing market. In fact, it’s not a large hedge fund, regardless of what they’re trading. I think the real concern here is if this model proves to be profitable and that 3b increases by several orders of magnitude across a much larger set of firms and funds. I’m not saying that will happen, but that is an alarming potentiality.

Thank you! We're basing it off the price of other website builders. (For example, Webflow's Basic plan is $12 without their CMS feature). From what I know, Carrd only give you 1 page per site. (We're also building our own CMS feature right now :D)

And yes, it's the editor itself that is our biggest selling point, and we did have users who preferred to use the editor as a software, and then export the code and host them anywhere. Would love to get your thoughts on this approach! What kind of pricing model would work for you if we offer this as a software package?

Sure that makes sense, they thought they could power through not putting in the sweat equity and they were wrong. Thats definitely a reality.
Yup, assumptions of less than 100% connectivity and designing for that would really change the world.

While I know everyone likes to hate on Lotus Notes here, once of it's key architecture features was that it assumed a seldom-connected and replicated data model - the clients and servers would contact each other at intervals to get updates, and otherwise everything was local.

Decades later, I still miss this functionality a lot - just force and update/replicate before you go somewhere (either office-home or a trip across the world), and everything is the same. No worries about connectivity quality; if it was choppy, just give it more time to handle the retries/ecc, and get the good updates. (of course, many system managers/admins/devs didn't really consider that much of a feature and treated it like any other network app, so not taking advantage of it, but those who understood it's power...)

I really wish others would think in such a seldom-connected model, as the network is becoming increasingly brittle, and working in that model was such a joy.
There are many things where relative value is more important than absolute value. In questions of mating and evolutionary selection, for example - it doesn't matter how much you have in absolute terms, it matters than you have more than your competitors. And questions of mating and reproduction are some of the most basic and fundamental (and important) to any animal/human, no matter how many abstractions we put on top of that.

In a capitalistic society, money is power - if a generation has 3% of the wealth they necessarily have less power than a different generation that had 22% of the wealth in their time.

The average house in America is not a very useful statistic today since a lot of those houses are in areas with no economic opportunity because of decisions taken to offshore labor - they used to have opportunity ~50 years ago, but that is now gone. You have to look at houses near urban areas (since those places retain the opportunity that was more spread out before). And then you'll see that costs have actually gone up.

It's not nearly as simple of a comparison.

From the abstract:

"
We document that some dimensions of noncognitive skills are productive at school, and some dimensions are counterproductive at school but still valued in the labor market. Action-oriented traits predict low school performance but high labor market performance. School-oriented traits, such as dutifulness, deliberation, and achievement striving, predict high school performance but are not independently valued in the labor market after controlling for school achievement. We further document that the labor-market premium to action-oriented personality traits has rapidly increased over the past two decades.
"
I would imagine the repetition benefits the listening audience since there is a chance they may not hear something or may miss the significance of something the first time it is spoken.

The question is: should we be closing nuclear plants and filling the gap with natural gas and coal before we get there?
Not true. I sold a condo to Opendoor recently and it was unlisted, just a private transaction. They overpaid very generously too.
> Or is there some voodoo by which the ANSI sequences get stripped from the output when redirected to a file?

Not quite, but programs in general use some voodoo to detect when they are being redirected and won't output ANSI codes when they detect that.

Often there will be a flag to enable/disable color, or let it detect when color is desired. On Linux ls accepts the --color=WHEN parameter, where WHEN can be always (`ls --color=always > ls-with-ansi-codes.txt` will output color codes), it can be never (just don't output ANSI codes, no matter whether you detect output redirection) or it can be auto (will show colors when you execute `ls --color=auto` but not when you do `ls --color=auto > ls-without-ansi-codes.txt`).
Ask HN: How to stop AI scrapers from using my content as training data?
Let's say I have a blog(or a site like Stackoverflow). I have content being generated on a daily basis. How can I make sure that this content does not end up as training data for some big language model? Is there a specific license or legal terminology I can use? In case someone wants to use my content for training maybe I can ask them to pay me instead of using it up for free.

Its probably because Facebook finally realized when government etc ask for data they need to give them otherwise you know ....... Also this is also good opportunity to green wash. It doesn't make a single dent on their ad revenue so why even gather more hate by doing some futile task?
> We need to weigh the positive use cases for facial recognition against growing societal concerns, especially as regulators have yet to provide clear rules.

Disclaimer: I have never owned an Apple product, and I haven't used Facebook for roughly a decade.

Apple have been doing face recognition for a while now, arguably at a similar scale, but their use case is pretty straightforward. With FB face recognition is not the real concern, it's the fact they have been caught misusing personal data multiple times.
It's ridiculous to suggest young people don't know anything about downturns. People who are now in their early-mid-30's were some of the biggest victims of the 2008 GFC because they bore the brunt of unemployment and delayed entry into careers (and other life milestones) as a result. If you're an employer, why would you hire a new grad when you could fill all your hiring needs with experienced hands? You wouldn't, and that was the reality in many industries back then. New grad unemployment reached nearly 15% in the period from 2008-2012, significantly higher than the overall unemployment rate. Then there was something like 20+% underemployment, with college grads working as baristas just to have some money coming in while they waited for the economy to thaw so they could start their lives.

Many young people had no opportunity to pursue a real career after taking on four years of educational debt through no fault of their own. "Go to college and get a good job" was revealed to be a complete farce. A few years later as things picked up, there was a fresh crop of new grads behind them without any awkward employment gap or strange jobs to explain. Even those who managed to make their way into solid careers missed out on the stock market and housing asset boom of the last decade because they did not have the deposits and credit history needed to contemplate buying a home until fairly recently when prices went vertical.
