It's hard to rebut your arguments when you don't really explain them, instead relying on scarewords that don't fit at all.

Who are the "additional investors"? The children? In what way would parental leave had been a horrible misstep if they do not show up? Seems like a wash.

Or are the additional investors individuals and families who won't ever need paid leave, don't care about their neighbors, and don't care about the next generation of residents? If so, Ponzi schemes are when market participants indirectly spend money on things that they don't 100% agree to? So, like, every interaction in life outside of the household that one individual might fully dominate?
At least in my case I've had an interest in deconglomerating Old Media for a while. When you start finding out how more than half of the work journalists do gets thrown into the can for content/narrative/audience engineering purposes, it's time to reevaluate the incentives of the folks running the presses.
Ah, thanks for this! I was going to ask if someone could run `strings` on the binary.

I get back:

},
"test_endpoint": "ausyd2-edge-bx-006.aaplimg.com"

I can't pinpoint the semantic value of `test_endpoint`. However,

- .../small gives me 0 bytes

- .../large gives me 4 gigabytes (!!) which I presume I am expected to range-request parts of

- .../slurp accepts input and gives me some stats back.

I had the Jaybird X2 headphones and they always fell out with the silicon tips and the foam tips made it so I couldn't hear anything in my vicinity and they still fell out (especially while running). Also they felt kind of bad in my ears.

I now have AirPod Pros and I have none of the above problems. I waited a long time before buying them and was really surprised how well they fit (because of my experience with normal iPhone headphones and the Jaybird headphones).

I guess experiences differ depending on your on your ears and it's probably best if you try them first if you can.
Congrats Kevin and Guru on the launch. Happy to see this on here, I was wondering when you’d do your Launch HN. These are real problems that a lot of data teams have and I’m glad to see this making it into the wild!
The speed of doing this is astonishing for sure, though the article also states that many people were excluded because they didn't have (or refused to have) the newer voter ID cards (issued after 2018) and also because they had to physically verify the cards due to fraudsters misusing lists obtained from polling stations. Exclusion is a larger issue that negates claims of equality or non-discrimination.

Tangentially, and moving a bit off topic, what was surprising to me is that biometrics wasn't mentioned (but I'm sure some influential people, companies and "banks" would soon push for it). In contrast, even though India has large (on paper) programs of direct cash transfers and subsidized food supplies, they're all tied to the exclusionary irrevocable/non-changeable biometric based number (called Aadhaar). That the poorest people would be living and/working in conditions that support destruction or rapid change in biometrics has been completely lost on all bureaucrats and politicians. On paper, alternative identifications are to be legally accepted, but practically nothing moves unless biometric authentication succeeds.

I think it is simple because it is uniform over the surface of optical element. In optics things get "complex" when they are changing over the area of the optical element. These tend to be a real PITA because it is difficult to produce anything that is not uniform to astonishingly exact specification as they tend to be in optics. They also tend to require separate design for every optical system.
> Mexico has 12 weeks. And Greece has 40.

And Sweden has 480 days. Poland 1 year. Switzerland 20 weeks. Ireland 26 weeks. UK 52 weeks. Canada 50 weeks. Norway 12 months. Denmark 52 weeks. France 16 weeks for mothers and 4 weeks for fathers. I can go on. There's 120 such countries in the world.

BTW that leave is on top of 20-30 days of paid vacations each year and unlimited paid health leave in most of these countries.

Notice that most of these also have free healthcare and free or cheap university education. Which is also "impossible" apparently :)

Also notice that some of these countries have higher or similar GDP per capita to USA. Also ALL of the countries I mentioned have lower gender salary gap than USA. And most of them have higher women workforce participation.

Somehow the argument used against paid parental leave turns out to work in favor of it :)

If you choose to ignore almost all developed countries other than USA (that have 20 weeks or more of paid paternity leave ) and cherry-pick Mexico as your counterexample - you should at least be aware what you're doing. You are searching for excuses to keep your ideological delusions going.

This isn't complicated, it works everywhere it's been tried, it's a simple change, the costs are marginal compared to benefits, even countries with GDP per capita one tenth of USA can afford it.

You sound exactly like this: "8-hour work week can't be done, the argument that other countries do it means nothing - in USA it won't work. I prefer to work 12 hours a day 6 days a week in USA than to work 8 hours in Wenezuela after all".

99% of the time I use corded headphones, it doesn't matter that they're corded. They are simply better in every respect outside of the cord. I've owned at least 5 pairs of mid-range headphones, I loved my Sony studio monitor headphones so much that I bought a second pair. I also bought some DT 770 pro headphones recently and I am enjoying those quite a lot.

A second layer transaction does not involve the Bitcoin network.

When Katy wants to pay ₿3 to Billie, Katy just sends a key (via email or some API) to Billie which enables Billie to withdraw ₿3 from the account of Katy. But Billie does not do that. Billie just keeps that message like you keep your login to your bank account.

When Katy wants to pay another ₿5 to Billie, Katy sends a key to Billie which enables Billie to withdraw ₿8 from the account of Katy.

Now Katy paid Billie ₿8 in two transactions. All via email, letter, telephone or - most likely - API. Nothing at all happened on the Bitcoin network.
What's the political take? Calling it unlawful? How is the mandate doing in court so far? There are numerous videos over the last 1.5 years of high ranking officials saying the federal government doesn't have the authority to force vaccination. We're also way past it being an emergency and they've had every opportunity to get a law passed, but they haven't. Legislation by fiat is a poor substitute.

That said, everyone should get vaccinated, please. The numbers and the science aren't even close on this one. The mere reduction in harm to the person getting vaccinated is enough to justify this. The added benefit of reducing the spread is also beneficial to others.

At the same time, we shouldn't be cheering on the government to extend its power and to inflict things on the people we don't like (both the mandate, and the $1 mil fine fall into this).
The thing is, I don't respect most of those "great minds" you would cite. Augustine? Plato? Why would I respect people with such disgusting philosophies? That their metaphysical ideas are obvious garbage is just another reason to ignore their political ideas, in my opinion.

Plenty of movies does not lose anything significant on the small screen. Why does it offend you that a few directors make movies designed for the big screen experience?
One problem is these areas are adding jobs but not housing. SF added 10 jobs for every house they built in the last decade, that gaurantees people want to live there and there wont be enough houses, ergo price increases.
The key points from the article for explaining this phenomenon:

> The exit values in VC have increased significantly over the last decade leading to escalating entry values. That makes sense. But the two things that have not changed materially over the last decade are the dilution from seed to exit and the power-law distribution of outcomes in an early stage portfolio.

And a little before that:

> If you believe your top-performing investment, out of 100 investments, will end up being worth $100 billion, then the numbers change a lot. You end up with a 13x fund instead of a 1.3x fund, before fees and carry.

So, VCs are still just doing the math like they always have. The rate of $1B companies being created today is 10x (? I don't know) higher than it was a decade ago, so the rate of $100B is probably going to be higher. A single $100B company in your portfolio of 100 companies makes it all work (really work). Still a lot has to go right from seed to $100B, but that's no different. There might be more money available in VC today. Feels like pop culture and society in general is much more interested in start-ups, VCs, etc. Maybe that's my bubble, though.

When the climate turns against you, efficiency is the one trait that helps you survive with limited resources.

The problem with efficiency is that when you have more than enough resources, you get obese very quickly. Like chickens and modern humans. :)
> Anyway I suspect if we change the meaning of "poor people" from African centric to West centric results may be less clear.

> In 2009, when Michael Faye co-founded the New York-based nonprofit GiveDirectly, whose mission is to alleviate poverty by providing unconditional cash transfers, skeptical development experts and philanthropists told him the sums would be misspent. But in the following decade, evidence has accumulated that in many circumstances, cash improves the life of poor people more than equivalent spending on aid programs or goods.

Did you miss that the evidence from GiveDirectly's efforts isn't African-centric? They operate on a global scale, including programs that run within US borders.

> GiveDirectly is the leading global NGO specialized in delivering digital cash transfers. We’ve worked in challenging contexts across 9 countries, from Houston after Harvey to the most remote parts of Uganda, and launched 15 experimental evaluations (RCTs) with independent researchers documenting the impacts on recipients and on the local economy.
The opensea link in the first tweet works, so I guess it was restored some time in the intervening month.

So, it's apparently to protect the hospitals. While I've no idea of the situation in Austria, in most Western European countries ICU occupancy is largely unvaccinated people and severely immunosuppressed people.

So once you're close to ICU capacity you have three options:
- Ignore it, likely leading to a lot of deaths.
- Full lockdown
- Targeted lockdown of the most vulnerable population (similar to 'cocooning' of elderly in the early stages)

Obviously, none of these are great options, but they're the choices a number of places are now facing.
Hybrid Work Is Driving a Shift to Identity-Centric Security
Treasury made loans with repayment schedules to specific businesses. The Fed purchased certain kinds of assets to hold temporarily on their balance sheet.

They both filled different roles - one was meant to manage inflation and the other to secure the stability and function of the markets. The Fed's dual mandate is to maintain maximum employment and low, predictable inflation rates over medium term. Spotting Ford in a rough patch doesn't fit the mandate.
>The developers can offer to pay the people who stand to lose property value, until the proposition is profitable for the Nimbys.

That sounds like the exact opposite of what you should be doing!

The fact of the matter is the city has taken without compensation the right of people to build whatever the hell they want on their properties. And your solution to this theft of a private right onto public hands is to not just formalize said theft, but to re-distribute such right to those who never had it in the first place, and who stole it via laws and regulations?

No.

The free market approach is to not interfere in what people can build in their properties. And if a community feels they must interfere, they are welcome to offer the owner of the property payment to purchase that right, which the owner may freely accept of reject.

That is what a free market solution looks like.

Not theft and subsequent redistributing of the proceeds to the thieves.
In part because we have used regulations to require you to be rich.

In India the cheapest new street legal car is the Tato Nano, around $2500 (maybe small electric cars from China even less). But the cheapest new car in the US is the Chevy Spark at $13-14k.

Building codes and zoning regulations mean there’s a minimum price you have to pay for housing in the US that’s around a factor of 10 higher than in much of the world (less than $100/month for a single bedroom apartment in a city in India vs around $1000/month in the US in a city… median is currently around $1200/month). And if you can’t afford that, and try to live in a tent even with the permission of a landowner, you can be arrested because sleeping in a tent is illegal and against code. It’s illegal to be poor.

Luckily we at least have some social programs. But we make people jump through hoops to get access to them. A time tax and something that becomes a lot harder or next to impossible if you have literacy problems or aren’t good at forms.
I think it's important because it sounds incorrect, but in reality it works out like that. In my experience most people think that if you give a poor person money they are just going to spend it on things which make their life worse, like drugs. It's one way to justify not giving a few quarters or a dollar to a homeless person on the street when they ask.
To me, the fact that bitcoin is so inefficient means that a government cannot coopt it because it would be politically untenable. That's trading a bad thing for a good thing

Ultimately though, side chains with various insured instruments (aka banks) will prevail due to their ease-of-use, and most real-world transactions will use unstable side coins (aka fiat currency).
> The "old ladies" argument was just a cover for the real reason, and you've been duped.

The comment I replied to was literally about making old people pay more for the houses they already paid for.

Of course you can. Ever been inside a commieblock in a former Soviet Union country? They're actually pretty sustainable and efficient, and were relatively cheap to construct. They're also ugly and lack natural light, and the stairwells reek of cigarettes etc. etc..

We haven't been tearing housing projects in the US down because they aren't sustainable, but because people don't like living in them, and they tend to have high crime rates. Since the Reagan administration we've decided the market can provide better options, and essentially banned new public housing. But has it provided better options? Does it feel like this is working?
I dunno, is looking to "One of the World’s Poorest Countries" for economic advice really the best start? Even if they've done this well it seems risky to start trying to learn from the "successful" programs of poor states on the theory that maybe the things they are successful at are holding them back.
