The market thinks higher profitability is a no-brainer, yes. It is more profitable to build an apartment block and collect rent from thousands of people than it is to build maybe 30 monoplexes on the same space.

It is even more profitable when developers don't have to waste space to accommodate massive amounts of parking, or follow any of a dozen other needless zoning laws.

Rome was not built in a day. The market won't solve everything, but in the limited circumstances where it very obviously can, we should abolish the laws that forbid it.
The problem of thin columns is the scrolling in my opinion. Currently the writer can't restrict the column height. So readers should scroll down and up if the post is long.

If browsers provide a CSS descriptor to limit the column height so that the page contains multiple columns and, if overflows, the overflowed content is shown in the downward direction (not horizontal direction), then maybe I can try this.

Yes. I now have a post-Maytag Maytag washer and dryer, and I've had to replace the washer once, because the seal at the base of the tub sprung a leak. This is such a common problem that there are multiple Youtube videos and repair kits for it. But it's a huge pain; you have to take the machine somewhere you can turn it upside down and disassemble it from the bottom.
The intent of my statement "all these randomly-generated things are ugly" was not "all aleatoric art is ugly", it was that all of the randomly-generated NFTs I've seen look like the results of hitting "randomize" on a mediocre Picrew except for the part where someone's trying to convince people it's worth more than I pay for rent in three years.
Artificial scarcity is, however, a prerequisite for it, at least with that kind of margin. Otherwise you'll get competition bringing the price back down toward production cost + overhead.

The French have a streamlined regulatory framework including standardized reactor designs and limited public comment that helps to reduces their costs and timelines.

(I don't know how much you know about electronics so sorry if I'm stating the obvious here)

9V batteries sound and look like they should last long, but putting 6 1.5V batteries in series should last much longer.
9V batteries have a typical capacity of ~550 mAh, 1.5V batteries (even rechargeable ones) have a typical capacity of 2000~3000 mAh.
Which is great, but we're still seeing a large influx to ICUs which will cause problems allocating ICU beds shortly (unless the trend reverses). To get that trend reversal high incidence districts are getting more restrictions again.

Ironically we also had a reduction in ICU capacity during COVID because working conditions didn't improve so people reasonably resigned instead of being continually exploited. There has also been a huge increase in hostility towards nurses, doctors and medical personnel in general (mostly driven by the small but aggressive anti-vaxx "community"), which certainly doesn't help retain people.
The SRE/DevOps space makes a lot of use of structured data (yaml, json) etc.

You're bending over backwards to misunderstand.

The original author said: "I don't want the NSA to perform domestic civilian law enforcement functions"

In other words, the FBI (and police, etc) perform domestic law enforcement, following criminal procedure. The NSA, CIA, etc handle non-domestic (foreign) threats, in whatever manner they see fit.
You've used the word "shooter" in order to cast Rittenhouse as the aggressor in the situation. If he really was defending himself in the first two shootings, that definitely doesn't give a third person the right to execute him, no.

People choose to be offended or not, it doesn't matter if it's conscious or unconscious, it's still their decision and there nothing we/I can do about it. I could be having a good day to the point of verbalising it and a person next to me who happens to hear it can be extremely offended or not.

Thus since it's completely out of my hand I do my best to just not worry of think about it. What I do think about is how I would like to see people interacting with me, due to my physiological configuration I never received any compliments and because of that I've been trying my best to give as many genuine compliments as I can muster, I give them with only good in my mind.

Sadly some people still get offended to the point where they feel the need to express they don't appreciate the compliment.

Which makes me think what kind of a life they must have lived and are living, to be in a state where you first start looking for negativity before anything else...

I don't have social media accounts except the one for Facebook's Messenger. There are benefits of course, mostly in decrease of induced sadness but it is annoying not having accounts because I made the Messenger one to be able to speak with classmates, but now that I've switched classes my new classmates are using Instagram's Messenger... I decided to just not participate in that messenger as all of the important things are supported via mail. I do wonder what will the kids use after Instagram though, since from what I can see they prefer using Instagram over Facebook and Twitter because there's less reading and you get pictures, but what's next?
In countries like New Zealand and (to a lesser extent) Australia, cost of living is Higher while local wages are lower.

This may seem like a pedantic point, but companies don't base compensation on anything as 'fair' as CoL. It's all about market rates.
Selling may be a win for the business owner, but since the parent commenter refers to the business as an "employer", they might be looking at it from a different point of view. Like that of the employees.
A search engine isn't Instagram... When I tried searching, it was just totally overwhelming to me, since you get a full screen wall of text, not one easy to digest image at a time as with Instagram.

The design looks amateurish/inconsistent, the information was overwhelming, and I felt compelled to leave. You really ought to think more before dismissing your clientele.

> naively expect from a company engaging in billion dollar takeovers

Unity's current market cap is $48B. Doing a levered buyout of another company that is ~1/30th of your size is stupidly trivial to do with cheap credit and an asset value that size.

For the uniformed - this is essentially how firms like Goldman Sachs make billions of dollars. Massively simplifying this, but they loan a portion of the $1.6B (let's say 50%) just like you would do on a house. The collateral is the stock of Unity in case they default on the payments.
Maybe, he'd certainly have a claim to it. Probably a harder one to defend since he chose to pursue instead of retreat and that Kyle chose not to fire despite having the opportunity to do so until after Grosskreutz had pointed his weapon at him. This all being on video.

Do you think the DA would have pursued charges against Grosskreutz for first degree murder?
I just paid for your Android app and had a play with it and left a review. It is more polished in-game than I expected from the Google Play listing; the icon for the app looked a little bit 2009. So I was pleasantly impressed with the game itself. Great work!

>In what sense is Japan "internationalist"?

Japan has scarce natural resources. It's also situated on an archipelago. Without international (and, importantly, overseas) trade, it ceases to exist as an industrial civilization. The necessity (and, yes, in contradiction with the traditionally collectivist and exclusive character of its people's culture) of international relations to the survival of the 21st century Japanese state is well-known, and the source of no small amount of consternation on the part of those concerned with the notion of a Japanese identity. I'm not educated or familiar enough with their cultural dynamics to say for certain, but I can imagine the exclusivity of Japanese identity being partially a reaction to its precariousness.

> Germany loves importing nuclear power

Each and every nation connected to the European supergrid imports when needed and exports when possible, because it is much more efficient than trying hard to maintain autonomy. The is eases balancing production (which may originate from anywhere) with consumption.

Here Germany often acts as a provider for Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic and Switzerland (which also may provide it to other needing nations).

Germany export surplus (physical flows) is positive for years, albeit it decreased (from 34 to 18 TWh in 2020).

Assuming a constant decelleration, the mean speed over the braking period is 100 mph. Multiply by 4 seconds, and the distance covered is about 587 feet (180 m).
So governments should fine them if they don't block enough of the wrong opinions, and maybe also fine them if they block too many of the right opinions?

But what happens if the staffing level needed to implement this is so high, and the costs so great, that only the biggest platforms (with the most eyeballs) can afford it? Or what if even they can't afford it?

Either the government needs to ban online communications platforms altogether, or it needs to pay for its own moderators to implement its own censorship system, paid for out of general taxation. The government would find out at the next election how popular such policies are.
That is incredibly dismissive of legitimate feedback, and you should honestly be ashamed of your response. I personally find your attitude in these comments to be absolutely reprehensible, and will never use this site -- or anything you're involved with.

You're apparently not even aware that every browser has the ability to add a keyword to the search engines, so that users could type "you: search phrase" and it goes to your site. Being oblivious to this is a huge red flag, and betrays that you really haven't thought this through.
The easiest way to learn unity (or any other new framework/engine/language) in my opinion is to recreate the project that you've already built. And you have one.

Ask HN: Trial&Error vs. Getting things right the first time
Senior developer here. This is kind of a weird question, hopefully somebody has experienced something like that and has any suggestion.

I realized that on my daily workflow I make a lot of simple mistakes, sometimes syntax errors, or entering the wrong value of a constant,... the kind of problems I cannot just catch by running a linter. That's never been a huge deal as I usually can test things locally and fail fast before sharing my work with other people, so I just got used to work in a tight trial and error loop.

Recently I started a new position at an organization where even deploying to dev environments requires an approval process and I can't test or reproduce things locally. In this scenario my silly mistakes are costly in terms of time and reputation, as I have to frequently resubmit the PR and start the process again.

So basically I'm looking at some ideas or tips for "getting things right at the first time".
In theory yes, in practice...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)#Flamanvi...
Meh. I think folks under-estimate the variety of economies in the US. I could move to WV and live very comfortably on about 60K a year. I could very realistically take a 10x paycut (not that I would bother working for someone else in software at that point... "my engineers/scientists might leave and create the start-up that kills me" is definitely upward pressure on wages at least for a certain class of tech worker)

(FWIW, I don't really have a horse in this race; my skillset is unique enough that everyone who competes with me for jobs qualifies for special visas and there's a 10:1 or maybe even 100:1 labor shortage with a 6+ year ramp-up time. But I've worked with off-shore talent and seen the comps... my general impression is that Americans over-estimate the cost of living in the cheapest parts of our country and MASSIVELY under-estimate the cost of living in urban cores of other countries)
Backwards compatible as in old code still compiles? Can you explain why that would be hard? I'm not asserting it wouldn't be, just missing something. Don't you just need to add allowable syntax that would previously raise an error?

Thanks! That is really interesting. I wonder if it still uses the filesystem as a database (I often do that myself, especially for rarely-read or config data.)
I was a child of that transition, and part of a family that worked and fought for that transition. Don't decry the efforts that led to it having the broad support it did. Did some people want to remain in the past they'd been conditioned to? Sure. Some East Germans did too. They're victims alike, but not in proportion. Wanting to consider the nature of the people as evil, we end up applying the fundamental attribution error, but on a group, which is far worse.
And in this case, they're one-sided dumping their frame of mind on me, (which can be downright abusive) and anything I say either way, supportive or non-supportive can be held against me, pending interpretation.
Great and detailed feedback, thanks!

- UI has always been my weakest point in the sense that what seems logical to me might be puzzling to others. I've been taking notes on what's confusing to players and will implement improvements on the next go-around

- Floating aliens are just...that. I've thought about making it more obvious that they are part of the environment or just removing them altogether

- The score HUD needs to be improved if it's not giving players the satisfaction of keeping a streak. Will test a few things.

- The regular planets give you more turns and they are more present in the lower levels. I might reduce the amount of allowed turns. But in the higher levels, you'll need them if you want to rest a little bit because most of the planets will allow 3 turns at the most or only 1 turn.

- I agree that the multiplier probably needs to be more prominent.

- Autopilot gives a countdown about how many auto jumps are left. The incentive there is that it's entirely possible to keep your streak going if you're paying attention.

- LOL @ the last two options. I'll tell you the story about that. We tried to keep words to a minimum because we have a multilingual option and some terms just don't translate well.

Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed the game despite some moments that gave you pause.
It's odd that I almost never encounter people pronouncing it like the English abbreviation, "et cetera". I suppose it's more syllables -- "ee tee cee" versus "et set err uh" or "et see" -- but not that many. I've never met anyone who pronounced /home "aich oh em ee" or /dev "dee ee vee".
I would, personally, call something I've already signed for "something that I bought", not "something I'm planning on buying".

But maybe that's not standard in the business sphere.
I don't know about this company or if it's profitable, but in many small startups, saving money decreases the burn rate, which extends the time before the company runs out of money, can become profitable, or needs to close another round of funding.

Ask HN: Which type of security focused roles pay FAANG level salaries
Hi HN Community. I used to be a developer and I am currently a member of a support team for a biggish company.

I have recently been getting a lot of exposure to admin level security work like dealing with Active Directory/ SSL etc. I am not sure if becoming an expert in this field would pay off long term. I have read from other posts on HN that security field pays well but its a vast field with many diverse roles and it is not clear what these roles do and what they get paid.

I will be extremely grateful if someone can throw some light on which security related roles / skills are desirable to have and would make one attractive to FAANG companies.
If you have done any typesetting, say for a book, you'd realize that there is a sweet spot between the font size and the number of characters in a line. This has changed little over the hundreds of years. I think some of that effect is what we're seeing on the screen here in this post. There is a lower limit though, if you set the line too small, you'll be scrolling very often as the other comments have pointed out.

Keys to a successful Exam Day:

Run the “Computer Requirements Check” at least a day before the appointment

Disable your pop-up blocker

Click “connect to proctor” to begin

Be alone in room

Have a clear desk and workspace

Be connected to a power source

Your mobile phone and headphones must be out of reach

Have your government issued ID ready

Be prepared to perform a room scan

You must be in the webcam view throughout the exam.

Same dystopian bullshit. A room scan?! What business of theirs is the contents of my room? What if I live in a studio and it's my whole living space? (it is) Massive privacy invasion that is completely unnecessary.

I have been watching the trial live, and The Federalist's perspective seems quite accurate. Just like with the Zimmerman case, people watching live are seeing the prosecution's case fall apart in real time, while most media outlets are presenting it as a fait accompli. I guess they'll get lots of clicks when the jury returns a "shock" not guilty verdict?
> German consumers still don't do that, despite paying the highest electricity bills in the developed world (almost twice of what the French pay).

No (France .32, Germany .19), and this comparison isn't sound because the financial models differ: Germany finances its transition by taxes on energy, and France mainly finances it thanks to other taxes (the consolidated tax burden is way higher in France).

Prices: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

Moreover higher prices are a way to moderate consumption and entice energy-saving approaches.
