It seems pretty simple, I can spend money to rent a place, and after 30 years (rent), have nothing to show for the money I put in, or I can buy a house (mortgage), spend money for 30 years, and then have an asset I own.

The article is about a scientist who was pressured into retracting a paper over ideological reasons rather than scientific reasons.

It would be understandable if HN were opposed to posts and comments that "do ideological battle," but that doesn't appear to be the case. If HN's editorial policy is that "ideological battle" may be waged with impunity by one side but may not be called out by the other, that's deeply troubling.

How can there be curious conversation if an honest and frank discussion is disallowed? There's a huge social upheaval occurring, with a large number of people trying to change the status quo to focus on equity in outcome over equality in opportunity. I respectfully disagree with the idea that selectively stifling speech on just one side of that discussion will somehow make discussion more curious and open, instead of less.
Sure, we can compare city to city, but the comparison instantly falls apart, because that peak urban density is still nearly HALF of Singapore's entire density. There is no universe in which 50% is considered a "minor" difference, and that's STILL pretending the rest of Sweden doesn't even exist. That is the definition of an apples-to-oranges argument.

In regards to the suicides, you just referenced an individual's personal thoughts on a potential reason for part of the increase. That's not evidence of anything, especially given that the statistical trend was already rising sharply upward, meaning there were existing issues being exacerbated long before COVID showed up. Even if we pretend that 100% of the 52 additional suicides in 2020 (a death rate of 12.6/mil) were directly caused by lockdowns, that's still a small fraction of the number of COVID deaths resulting from not having lockdowns, as is evidenced by ANY country's statistics.

So, yeah, you are ignoring all of the obvious facts that refute your assertions, which makes you disinformative.
There's no silver bullet to solve this problem. If there were, we would have already done it by now. The government will need to weigh the cost of subsidizing rural residences with that of other policies. The outlook for rural doesn't look great either way, many rural areas will not be able to afford the costs of climate change.

I think it totally depends on the team.

I am a senior IC. I went from Google to FB for L+1. The salary increase alone was enough to convince me. Personally I don't think GOOG is much better than FB (if they are better at all) in all the areas in which people on HN complain.

I heard some horror stories about FB Work/Life balance before I came here. Turns out I work 10-15 hours a week less than when I was at Google, in a much better org, on problems I care about. Beyond my immediate manager (who at GOOG was great too), FB leadership chain is far better throughout my org except for one other person at GOOG. In my GOOG org people were constantly promoted and rewarded for the wrong things.

FB let me go through weeks of trying out teams before I selected one. Google put me on a team, told me nothing about it, and I had no idea what team it even was until the end of the first day when my manager picked me up.

Not really worried about the performance reviews a comment mentioned above since GOOG has the same (actually in my experience worse there).

Having PV above water is something we should do immediately.

In addition to using other forms of energy, you can also over provision. Solar panels still work when it’s cloudy. They just don’t produce as much power. And with a grid you can average cloud cover over a large area.

I believe that's only true if one were to load YAML via the "SAX"-style per-event stream, and not the "object materialization" that normal apps use (aka `yaml.load_all` or JAX-B objects) since in those more data-object centric views, where would one put the processing events for those markers?

I also originally expected `yaml.parse(...)` to eat them as it does for comments and extraneous whitespace, but no, it does in fact return dedicated stream events for them, so TIL

I don’t think this is good advice financially, though there is more to life than money. First, if by “tech salary” you mean a software engineers salary or a product managers, then you should be able to afford a house in a place like Seattle. It might be tight if you are early in your career, but it is very doable.

The main reason this is likely to be bad financially is that your house won’t appreciate like a house in Seattle. I’ve been doing tech for a long time at this point, and have seen people make both choices and how it plays out over the long run. Those that stayed in the big city are basically financially independent at this point, and those that moved are not. The difference in net worth after 20 years is very significant.
There's a world of difference between high interest rates (which are good and healthy) and rising interest rates (which implode the economy).

You gotta look at the derivative.

Rising interest rates are really, really bad. Anyone who relies on revolving business debt, credit card debt, or other non-fixed-rate debt goes bankrupt.

I kinda wish I entered the economy when we still had 12% interest rates. Each time a recession hits, we level it off by lowering them a bit, and we've kinda hit the floor.

I don't think we can get back to 12% interest within my lifetime without some kind of economic collapse or cataclysmic event.
This is a very odd comparison. You’re comparing a past workflow for one service against an existing workflow for an entirely separate service, but only speculating on whether it is actually less.

It’s currently 6 taps to cancel a single subscription in Apple and 2 taps extra for each service you want to cancel right after. I love knowing that I don’t have to figure out what magical incantation I have to do to cancel any/every service I sign up for.

Dounreay The Atomic Dream [BBC 2006 documentary]
This is only part of the problem - and a small part of the problem at that.

The real problem as always is zoning. Houses cost roughly the same on a $/sqft basis, adjusted for inflation, as they did in the 1970s. They're more expensive now because outside of town they're twice as big on average [1] - in part due to zoning rules. In town, zoning rules preclude densification necessary for supply to meet demand [2]. And, families are smaller.

Check out Japan housing CPI - a market where supply meets demand thanks to federal zoning rules, and is also centrally banked. Dead ass flat. [3] This chart alone basically debunks the theory the Fed is solely responsible for lower housing affordability.

Zoning is the issue, not the Fed.

[edit] Yes, the fed contributes a little - monthly affordability of a more expensive house is the same when interest rates are lower, but down payments are not. However, if you want to solve the affordability crisis build more houses. Any houses. Now. Compare the Japan housing CPI in [3] to the US housing CPI in [4] and weep. Housing in the US is driving inflation, not responding to it.

So after I take many more advanced economics courses, I will understand the unexplainable reason why housing prices will never go down no matter how much supply is increased? And why this conclusion is so certain that there is neither any evidence nor any need for evidence?
We have tons of inflation-proof tools: stocks, gold (to an extent), cryptocurrencies.

> Apple doesn’t allow subscriptions priced at less than $0.99. Why not? What if I had a product that i wanted to sell for $0.50 a month?

I’d pay $0.50 more.

I just had the unpleasant experience of canceling a non-Apple controlled service. It sucked. Pages and pages of “are you sure you want to cancel” dark patterns.

You guys did this to yourselves with absolutely shitty customer experience. Could not care less if Apple makes things harder for you. Do not care if I pay more.

Yabai looks very neat, but I've always wondered if it's replacing the window server on MacOS or merely existing on top of it. Does it disable things like the dock and menubar when they're not in use, or are they still loaded and consuming CPU/GPU resources?
The rate of accidental over-dosing is not zero, and pretty fundamentally can't be zero, in both automated and non-automated setups. First, users are manually entering estimates of how many carbs they're eating, and if they overestimate carbs, they'll get too much insulin. This is true regardless of whether there's any automation or not. So in practice, getting a bit too much insulin is a well-tested scenario which every T1 diabetic knows how to deal with; we all carry glucose tablets around everywhere for exactly this purpose. It's still a hazard, but it's not a new hazard. Managing this without automation is pretty hard, so there's a lot of room for automation to be imperfect while still being an improvement.

The second issue is that the continuous glucose monitoring sensors are themselves unreliable, for biology reasons. If a CGM reports high blood sugar when blood sugar isn't actually high, then the system will deliver insulin to try to correct the high, leading to a low. To my knowledge there's been exactly one publicly reported death among DIY loopers, and this is what happened to him. A similar scenario can happen without automation, though: users are supposed to confirm high blood sugars with a fingerstick before dosing insulin to correct, but they often don't.

OpenAPS has a lot of maximum-insulin-amount limits that are, basically, to ensure that it never delivers so much insulin that you can't correct it with glucose tablets alone. I am not aware of these safety limits having ever failed to work as designed (though they are configurable, and the user can set them high if they want).

I did once get a double-bolus due to a bug introduced by another developer on the dev branch, while doing development myself. It was fine; at least two additional things would have had to go wrong for it to have been seriously dangerous.
I actually cut my sysadmin teeth on Windows 2000, and found myself wondering how on earth they could `docker exec` a shell. These were, comparatively, the dark ages of Windows administration, and almost all tasks were done through a GUI.

The implementation is nothing short of genius: they use a Windows version of `netcat` (the common UNIX tool, but compiled for Windows from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit), then use `srvany` (also from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit) to start `netcat` as a system service, but with `cmd.exe` piped to its standard in and out.

Kudos on this solution!

Uhh, no. What the parent comment said is true.

It’s money you have to spend (shelter is non-optional), and mortgage is definitely a better investment than renting (you’ll get at least some of it back on selling, unless it dips very far) whereas rent is guaranteed to be burnt.

And the difference between rent and mortgage as a monthly payment isn’t that far for same-lifestyle, assuming you can put up the standard up-front capital requirements.

As far as I can tell, it’s quite reasonable.
1) Renters are a captive audience. If you have kids in a school, I can raise rents until I hit your utility cost of moving, which can be high.

2) Home owners are more likely to maintain homes well (and efficiently).

3) We have a nesting instinct. I'm more likely to customize my own home. One I rent is a throw-away.
Why was the following flagged - this is a fact:

The US southern border is currently not enforced, thanks to Biden's Open Border policy.

It's expected 2 million illegal migrants will walk across the Mexican border into the US in 2021 - 1.2 million already have.
I think people who parrot this line try to ignore the total cost of their mortgage being quite different from the purchase price of their home, property taxes, repairs, etc.

As a lifelong renter, I’ve done quite well by keeping my rent low (my preference is studio/1-bedrooms in relatively dense urban areas) and putting extra money into the market.

30 years from when I started renting, I’ll have quite a lot to show for it!

Housing is an expense to me, not an investment.

On top of the things you mentioned, the pandemic caused supply shortages, meaning new development was slowed at a time when it should have accelerated. Also, I don't have evidence for this, but there seems to be phycological impact where people really want what they can't have, and are willing to bid more, and go into more debt than they would in normal circumstances.
When I say cancel in one tap, what I mean is I have a list of every subscription I am holding, and I pick that one and it goes.

I do not want any kind of retention, I do not want to be messaged in any way, just stop renewal. I do not want to call in, live chat, give a reason, etc.
In retrospect, it rings true. I think I had my eyes opened during 2008 crisis and FED was effectively buying everything thrown at it. I remember thinking how can government own its own bonds?

>Why is the right answer to increase the population to unsustainable levels, try to make it up with increased density, and then blame the people who want something different?

I did not mean to imply that population can be allowed to grow uncontrollably and still be able to accomplish curtailing climate change. Both densifying and population control and specifically reducing consumption per person, which is part of densifying) are necessary.
> Poor people deserve better. To spend their life savings on human smuggling is a pity.

Economic migrants aren't citizens of the country they're targeting, and they deserve nothing from that country.

In 2021, illegal aliens from 150 countries have entered the US via the Mexico border under Biden's Open Border policy. There's only about 200 recognized countries, so does that mean the US owes something to every person on earth?
When the exchange rates go crazy because nobody wants dollars. That being said, the USD is the key currency of the world so we have been able to avoid that issue. If the US causes the world to look away from the USD, it is game over for the US lifestyle. Screwing the rest of the world by printing USD is a bit like the Norway oil fund - it is an amazing source of wealth that will not last forever and should be spent wisely. The US is doing anything but that.
I don't think it matters much if this is inline or in separate file. If you want to test your tests, "yq -r .run input.yaml | sh -e" works as well.

In fact, if I really wanted to test my tests, I'd say that directly testing the corresponding clause is the more comprehensive approach. For example, what if someone accidentally changes the line to read:

run=/path/to/install-scriptq

? then your test of "install-script" will not catch anything. But if your test runs "yq -r .run | sh -e", then it will catch that error. And you can still forward to a script if you wanted to.

So let's keep inline scripts, they are very reasonable methods for just a few commands.
Ah sure, I suppose I'm talking about what pops into mind when most people here the word 'economy', but certainly there's more going on as you've noted.

When I use the word, I'm talking something a more to do with the systems of trade of goods and services, currency, etc. - the health of such systems are the concern of many anti-lockdown proponents.

> FB's model requires them to be able to hire a lot of really good developers.

It really doesn't. They need to hire a lot of developers, but they don't all (or even most) need to be really good.

They've got lots of stuff to reduce the blast radius of poor developers. Extensive testing and automated regression. Extensive code reviews (although I don't know how effective that is). Lots and lots of layers that make it harder to do things wrong (but also harder to do things period). Gobs and gobs of meetings so nobody has time to get much done anyway.

Some parts of that need really good developers, but you don't need a lot.
Well studio/1-bedroom isn't really an option for families, and rates go up quickly after that point.
The right amount is the least that will keep them working.
There's definitely use cases but they're quite niche. Magnetic storage is still far cheaper per TB than solid state. Also, depending on workload, magnetic can handle heavy writes better. SATA is a dead man walking with no plans for SATAIV or V.

HDD manufacturers get to keep selling their same tech with a different interface. From an end user perspective, a drive like this lets you buy future proof server equipment with the newer interfaces. You can make the plunge to full SSDs once the market's providing what you need.
