I mean VW makes $100,000 Porsches and $20,000 Jettas. At some point it’s not economical to make cheaper cars due to materials and workmanship. You can certainly buy an e-bike for half that, I did.

The cost of construction in America is $150/sqft. We’re not even close in cities. Off by an order of magnitude.
I'm not arguing to have code reviews for every commit (or PR). If there's no review with each incremental change, is it still feasible to review at release time?
>The threat of terrorism is massively overblown

There's some temporal sampling bias, here.

The threat of terrorism was huge and salient in 2002, and a lot of NRC regulations were updated at that time. It was less obvious in 2010. Here in 2021 it's hardly a threat at all. If we see another 9/11-scale attack this decade you can bet that will change.
> It doesn't really matter if you add new stock at the top end or at the bottom end, people from the bottom move up, and make space at the bottom for new entrants. Any new stock you add increases supply, which leads to lower prices across the board

I could definitely see that being how it works in a lot of cases, but it seems like a stretch to assume that's some sort of natural law of prices. If I have a market of ten potential buyers, the first who has $1, the second who has $2, and so forth until the tenth buyer has $10, I could put an infinite number of goods for $10 for sale, and none beyond the first would be able to be purchased. Sure, you could argue that it would be silly of me to price in that way, and you would be right, but in reality you don't know the exact financial details of every potential buyer of your whole market. GP is hypothesizing that basically this exact scenario is happening with housing, and I don't know if they're right or not, but your rebuttal doesn't seem very convincing that this is an impossibility.
That's true. There are certain things in cities that are irreplaceable. And to be honest, there are tons of things I miss about living in a city.

I'm not sure that energy costs are necessarily higher in the country, but I suppose it depends on the climate and the house itself. In my case, I'm going down the solar/hydro route and plan to be off-grid at some point.

Climate change is a huge issue, though. Drought and wildfire are existential threats to my current way of life.
That also won’t happen with NPM.

I think people forget just how bad the early 80s recession was, possibly because most of the people affected then are dead or senior citizens now. Nationwide was 10% (on par with the 2009 recession), and in some cities it went up to 25%. Farmers drove their tractors into Washington DC and blockaded the Eccles building. Car dealers sent coffins containing the keys of unsold vehicles. Construction workers sent 2x4s to Volcker because nobody needed them for home construction. The Treasury Secretary publicly undermined him, and the House Majority Leader called for his resignation.

So, I’m 36, and I promise you don’t want a deep recession. Cheap housing doesn’t matter if you don’t have a job. We dodged a freaking bullet economically with COVID. We recovered quickly. Heck, even in 2008 we did better than the countries that tried fiscal or monetary austerity.

And yeah, the real enemy is zoning. It’s fun to blame Blackrock, and they deserve it, but it’s regular homeowners trying to restrict more housing that is the cause.

Yabai is awesome and a complete game changer on MacOS with skhd setup as a hotkey daemon. I set it up to mirror my i3 setup on ArchLinux and couldn't be happier. Switching to that and VIM per "The Mouseless Dev" book sped up my coding speed 3-4 times within a few months. I recommend everyone try to make the switch, but few are brave enough to do so.

It's a win potentially for third party payment processors. As a business owner (I'm assuming app developer) you have no guarantee of reduced overall impact to revenue.

To give Google as an example, they now charge an 11% commission on payments made using third party processors in South Korea.
I think there's two things to consider here.

1) this sets a quantifiable measure on what a carbon tax should be. Which is essentially higher than it would be to remove said carbon. The tax including a convenience fee.

2) We're still on the bottom of the S curve for carbon removal. I'm not sure why anyone that visits HN would be surprised that a new technology costs more. But if we're to survive climate change it is essential that we innovate this technology and make it as cheap as possible. So see $100/tonne as a stepping stone rather than a final product. That will not be the final price, but rather comparable to your first home computers.

Edit: I know I said 2, but a third thing to consider is that we already have too much carbon in the atmosphere. We really need to be net negative, not zero. In addition to this we can't expect developing countries to choose between power and existential crisis. As rich countries we have burden from past emissions. So if we are the ones removing it, that's more equitable. But also probably the only way it's going to happen. If we don't step up, no one will. Though we're also the ones that will fare the best because of our already elevated status. But is that the kind of people we want to be?
That's not true - basically no commercial solar panels contain rare earth metals (the place they're actually used is in permanent magnets in electric motors and generators for things like electric cars and wind turbines, maybe you were confusing that? But there's a lot of interest in eliminating those, e.g. e-motors).

Solar panels don't rely on fossil fuels either - perhaps you're confused by reporting that currently they're produced using a fair bit of energy from coal etc.? But that is reducing and improving all the time as grids get greener.
Why should they ever get to a position where they have no land? Even the worst sea-level rise predictions states that the sea level will rise only by around 3 metres in the next 100 years or so and about 10m by 2300.

3m is just around 9ft. And we are talking about less than 12000 people living in about 25sq.km of land. It would be trivial to increase the height of the land by a couple of metres.
The hardest part for me was finding a good dotfile to base my hotkeys off of, and it's not quite as performant of course.
I am not saying that's a dichotomy, I mean this purely as a function of resources. Sure you can do both but that takes up twice as much time as if you only did one of them. So however much you want to do of either is really up to the project's management goals and what the customer is willing to pay for...
I love my AirPods Pro because I can take them on a run with my Apple Watch and be able to listen to music + do guided runs without having to carry anything else. Glad I bought them just for that.

They suck otherwise. I have these wired earphones I bought 5 years ago for $99 that I use most of the rest of the time. They sound better, fit better, connect 100% reliably, and I don't have to worry about their batteries dying in the middle of something because they randomly decided not to charge last time I put them in the case.

I'd rather have no wires, but AirPods are a significant compromise to get rid of a wire...

I find it's rarely worth it. Only the one use case, actually. Same for the watch.

For the (expected) downvoters, this is a legitimate question, because the easy thing is to quit after benefitting from something you eventually discover is "bad". Real moral principle comes from that extra step, usually of hardship, whereby you have the moral realisation and also penance that must be paid.

Otherwise we should all do bad things for money, and one day stop then say "whoops, guess it was as evil as I thought" while relaxing in our nice houses by the swimming pool that we bought with those proceeds.
Note that this is exactly how countries undergoing hyperinflation operate. Nobody keeps savings in the national currency, and if they do, they don't have savings for long. They keep their wealth in stocks, gold, foreign currency, bottles of alcohol, bullets, or any other durable liquid asset.

The main feature that requires SIP to be disabled is managing multiple workspaces without animating the swap between them which saves a ton of time and is key to the seamless feel. There are some workarounds of course, but there's no way to get around the 1-2s animation without turning off SIP.
The difference in exposure is perhaps part of it, but the reality is that film at the time couldn't accurately represent darker skin tones. It's not even just about exposure, but color itself wasn't accurate.

That's compounded by how much lighting education is based around white people with blond hair.

> which has created high demand for houses

Does anybody have any guess on when that high demand will come down and match more closely to the supply? I don't see anything that will push residential real estate prices down in the next few years.

Interest rates and property values are linked. Selling agents help buyers target a monthly price figure, all relative to interest rates + property values. Rates low? Raise asking price. Rates high? Lower. In the end, same $x/mo payment they target that they know families can afford/shop by.
Yes, we narrowly missed Bin Laden at Tora Bora in 2001. But "just send more troops" and "use bigger bombs" betrays a lack of familiarity with combat in the mountainous and inhospitable parts of Afghanistan. There's only so much air power can do in these places. It's incredibly hard to insert troops into places like these. You need to be able to medevac the WIA and KIA when things go wrong. There were no roads. In 2001, we were often literally using Russian maps. The history of these big mountain operations in Afghanistan is basically one of "let's send more troops/use bigger bombs/etc. etc." and it never got us anywhere. These operations pretty much always failed and we almost never got whoever we were going after.

3x is based on early-80s interest rates (12%). I did out the math [1] for someone on Reddit and it turns out that if you buy 3x your income @ 3% interest, you'll only be spending about 12% of your income on housing. To get to 30% of gross on housing (the other common rule of thumb), house prices need to be about 7x income.

The problem from the manufacturers' perspective is that the gear required to meet 2021 safety, emissions, and fleet efficiency standards by itself almost pushes a new car's price over $5000, and that's without leaving any budget left over to make it a car anybody would want to buy.

They do sell vehicles at that price which get around all of those standards, but they lose two wheels in the process.
> Easy to mispolarise

I've never given polarization any thought and never had any problems, so I don't buy this being an actually a problem in practice.

> not earthed

NEMA-1 aren't earthed, but NEMA-1 sockets have been forbidden since the 60s, so that fails the "unchanged" part of coldtea's assertion. NEMA-1 plugs may still be used on Class II double insulated appliances, which is fine. And NEMA-5 does have a ground.

> not safe when partially inserted.

I've never worried about it, never been hurt by it, and never heard of anybody being hurt by it. This is a "problem" that I often hear described by Europeans online but it's totally alien to me. Please remember that we only put 120V through these things, which is substantially less nippy than 240V.
Three Insights from Dr. Edward Baker's “Scoring a Whole in One”
I (an outsider), think you're about half right. Most photography until relatively recently was just dumb tech. Decide an exposure and go. It just so happened that it worked out well for lighter skinned people, and less so for others.

In that I mean, I don't think the companies were ever purposefully blind to darker skins - just stuck with it and said 'good enough ship it.' It also makes me wonder what if a darker skinned person invented the tech. Would they say it's garbage? Did that give light skinned people an advantage? Interesting thoughts.

Even today this is only accomplished on phones by HDR to the point of making every photo look fake. Apparently photography is hard, it must be if we are still here with this problem... which makes me appreciate my own eyeballs even more.
I get what you're saying, but as someone who spends probably too much time, money, and mental stress avoiding buying from Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Nestle, Walmart, etc. I feel like someone who's second job is just trying to do the bare minimum to feel moral in the modern economy and is still getting hit by "surprise, the company you bought carrots from is literally enslaving people" every couple months.

I'm not really sure what exactly you mean to say in terms of me "taking the bullet". It's not like I think it's my fault that these companies do bad things, but so much of the modern discourse, this article included is about how you should feel bad for having purchased a Vizio TV, or ever consider buying one ever again. The problem is, the more you learn, the more you essentially can't buy anything from anyone you don't deeply personally know without finding out they're terrible.

I criticize corporations plenty. Probably too much in terms of the hours in my day. I pretty much live in a cycle of depression every time I look at my toothpaste or ship something with Fedex. What else am I supposed to do? I kinda need a cellphone to have any amount of social life, but every company that makes them seems implicated in moral crimes. So I own a phone and feel like a garbage human for buying it every single day. It's not really a persecution complex when there's no alternative that isn't reverting to some sort of hermit lifestyle where you consume no media, travel nowhere, and only eat what you can buy from local farmers (that you hope aren't bad people). It doesn't feel healthy for my psyche, but I guess I'm doing something good for the world at large, right? Right...?

Edit: Ultimately, glibness aside, my worry is we've gone too far and "undone the damage capitalism has done" to the point where people are being told they're bad for just trying to be mentally stable in an otherwise crappy world. Like, if you're taking medication to stave off depression, it's not a good time to point out the morality of the company that makes the meds that keep you from killing yourself.

Sure, there's some folks who do too much to take a bullet for a company that doesn't need it, but it's all too easy to extend that to a point where you're condemning people for choices they're making where there's not really a better option that is viable for them. I highly doubt there's a lot of rabid Vizio fans. It's mostly just a lot of people who aren't paid well that want to watch a nice movie to relax after a long day at work and don't have the money to buy something "better". Is it really morally right to make them feel terrible for having done that?
It is cool.

We're all adults and can make our own choices. Few things in life are free of risk (you drive a car I imagine). If I want to do a damn stunt I'll do it. Should we also ban most sports? Those are dangerous too. How about we stop building tall buildings? Lots of construction accidents there.

Also, the kind of accident that happened recently on set is vanishingly rare. There are a ton of safguards in place to ensure things like that don't happen and, in this case, at least one person was severely negligent.
I mostly saw the value from watching Twitch coding streams. I found "The Mouseless Dev" book really helpful in setting up Archlinux with i3 and VIM as a guideline to try it out, then once I saw the value spent some time setting up MacOS with Yabai and similar hotkeys to my Archlinux setup. I'll say, it's pretty much increased my productivity by 3-4x and keeps my mind fully engaged on the coding task at hand.
Tesla simply is not a trustworthy company. I don't know how many incidents have to happen before people actually realize that. In my opinion, one cannot trust anything they say or anything they make, no matter how fantastic their tech is. This is just the nth example. Here's a few more:

I believe the above post wanted to drill down why it was hard for Afghanistan to give him over.

After that the Pakistan discussion can happen if energy exists.
It has some very significant design flaws. The ground pin is connected last, and while a plug is being inserted or removed the connections get all jumbled up and even shorted together. This causes all sorts of hums, crackles, and pops while inserting or removing a plug, which may be only a minor annoyance for headphone users but can be extremely loud and/or damaging when using large amps & speakers. (It's also very easy to only insert a plug partially by mistake, which can take frustratingly long to troubleshoot.) They also typically carry unbalanced signals and are therefore susceptible to interference at high impedances and/or long distances.

Pro audio equipment usually prefers connectors such as XLR [0] (or even heavier-duty cables like Speakon [1] if you need to carry large amounts of power). They're a lot bulkier but immune to all these problems: the ground pin connects first, the connector physically latches into place, and they're typically used to carry a balanced signal over a twisted pair so they're mostly immune to interference. The only place you'll find a TS/TRS connector on a stage is on a "patch cable" for making short-distance connections, like from a guitar to an amp -- and you have to be very careful not to touch them unless the sound guy tells you it's OK, because those pops will be loud over a PA.

Newer (and more expensive) equipment is moving in the direction of avoiding analog altogether and transmitting audio over Ethernet using protocols like Dante [2].
