Oh man, I assumed he explained it in the interview and was just leaving out the details for the purposes of the comment. That was me being dense.
Lots of people here focusing on the cost of the drive without factoring in:

- For home use, it is likely a once-or-twice-in-a-lifetime purchase (try saying that about any other kind of media)

- You don't have to buy a brand new drive of the latest generation at sticker price; used last gen(s) gear from the enterprise works just as well.

- Perhaps most importantly, what's your data worth?
I don't know about you guys, but I've got photos and documents that are irreplaceable.

Tapes beat all other storage media on $/GB, reliability over time, and arguably durability, all of which are the most important factors for offline backup.

$500 comes out in the wash over a decade or two. That's the kind of time scales we're talking about. Yes, it's not cheap and easy consumer electronics you can buy off the shelf at Walmart, but it's not unreasonable either.

1. userbinator was discussing the impact of exceptional people on society, and you're citing average behaviors of a people in one narrow educational sphere. Nikola Tesla has zero relationship with the middle of any curve.

2. Children are quite literally extensions of their parents. Their intelligence, beliefs, genetics, et cetera are a product of their nature (100% parental) and nurture (varies, but usually significantly attributed to their parents). Giving your child tutoring is no more cheating than when you pick up a book for yourself. Your children are you.

3. userbinator was in no way criticizing the opening up of opportunities to achieve equality by elevating all people to genius status. He, and most people here, are critical of handicapping the gifted/lucky/affluent/whatever in order to achieve parity at a lower level. The fact is it doesn't matter if you learn AI programming because you're so gifted the knowledge just flows into you easily, or if your parents spent $1mm a year teaching it to you. We need AI programmers, and having none because you thought it was unfair for people to get that education when others can't is nuts.
Anything that hasn't happened yet is "speculative" I guess, but in this context speculative means you bought it because you think you can sell it for more tomorrow, as opposed to buying it for its intrinsic value.
I don't want them watching porn at the public library either. It ruins the experience to have to witness a homeless person jacking off at a computer station, and not something I want my taxes paying for.

After all the child belongs to the parents so they get to make these decisions.
Yah, Yah. I hear that so often. Maybe I'm colorblind, and you are all tetrachromates, but I don't see any color-misrepresentations here. And I've tested that.
I think that painting the edges of books served as protective function. Particularly with that stiff gold paint. When a book which has that golden coating is closed and packed into a bookshelf, the coating presents a surface that is likely harder to penetrate for pests like moths and worms. Possibly mould spores and such too.
Hacker news comment of the year
While people are constantly under surveillance of street cameras.

While people are constantly under surveillance by their own phones and all kinds of apps.

While people are constantly under surveillance during any internet activity .

While most people agree to have computers that are not completely open which means no complete inspection of firmware and software including OS which means zero privacy by definition.

While most people gladly give up any privacy for big corporations and store in their clouds what ever one can imagine .

The same people seriously discuss if it is ok for photographer standing openly in the street to take some pictures?

I should check the dictionary for definition of insanity because it can help to describe the situation.

How about freedom of art expression? What have happened with respecting that?

Isn't it a right of any person to see the world they way this person perceive it and express it in any art form including photography?

Isn't the alternative is toward oppressive society? Would people disrespecting street photography prefer to live in oppressive society where all art is under complete control?

Or they mean all art can be free except photography? Well also except drawing because who knows what one would draw. And songs because who knows what one could sing about. And sculpture. And movies. And computer games. And books. And music creating wrong emotions. And dancing which should be proper. And may Web sites. And well with current tools of surveillance ... anything is fine except 'wrong' dreaming?
> But what does that really mean? If I am sick in hospital and tested every day, is each positive test considered a case?

Why should anyone do this? The goal is to either track cases of infection with SARS-CoV-2 or symptoms, hospitalisation or death caused by it. This goal is often not attainable in practice, which leads to approximate measures such as counting deaths in which a SARS-CoV-2 infection might, with high likelihood, have contributed or something like that.

You can certainly criticize details, but counting each test as a new case is obvious nonsense.

> Likewise, if I was in a car accident and tested positive for COVID-19, despite being asymptomatic, is that considered a case as well?

Again, what do you want to count? If you want to count infections, yes, this would be a case. If you're counting deaths, why should anyone count this as it's obvious that covid doesn't cause car accidents?

Or if I'm double vaccinated and have a breakthrough infection (which is increasingly common), is that also a case?

Why should this not be counted as a case?

> the "unvaccinated", which, in my experience is people who've recovered from COVID and have natural immunity. My authoritarian government refuses to recognize natural immunity as a thing

Maybe in Turkey, I can't say that. At least in Germany, recovered individuals are tracked separately and are treated equivalent to vaccinated. However, like with vaccines, natural immunity weakens with time, which is why booster shots are recommend for those as well.

To my knowledge, there are various studies describing how immunity acquired through different means weakens.

> even though research on this is slim-to-none.

Is that so?
It sounds very nice but if more than half an indie game's revenue comes from Nintendo Switch then you need a low friction way to get your .java files running there. You also need a proven audio mixer stack so you can load background_music.mp3 and play bang.wav and boom.wav without any popping or leaks. Right now Java seems sort of iffy on consoles, as in, you could maybe spend a ton of time and/or money to get an effort like GraalVM production-grade working there, but no one has bothered to do it yet. It seems to be much lower friction to just use C#/MonoGame, or SDL2 with your scripting language of choice that compiles with a C/C++ compiler, or a proven game engine.
Value can be created without it being “taken” from anywhere.

In China and Russia they give you a party membership if you manage to steal such an amount from a Western individual or a company.

In Dubai, that is an US ally, they just do not care. You can march to a shop with $2M cash or Bitcoin and buy a lambo. Just move to Dubai. They have financial regulator compliance, but it is just on the paper and in real life you get away with anything. Dubai is for crooks and shady money. These is no extraction treaty. The lifestyle is bling bling, good for crooks that want to flash their rolexes.

You need to be really really stupid getting caught in Dubai, but it may happen if you are too outrageous:

This is a common misconception that originated from the inflation in the 70s and 80s where wages increased with the inflation. Actually the inflation WAS salary inflation (caused by rising interest rate when most money was not debt) much different from todays energy inflation (and debt as money).

If your salary does not increase with the inflation, you don't get the additional 4.5% in salary and then you are NOT getting 2% real returns.

Combine that with all energy costs going up and you have a real problem because the governements cannot raise interest rates (without crashing everything), that leaves banks to compensate for energy (which you cannot print) which means people are going to get hurt (the interest spread, the difference between what a bank pays to the central bank and what you pay to the bank, is going to grow until things get out of hand).

My prediction is that house prices cannot increase more than general inflation now since the margin of the central banks is now permanently zero (we have had official zero interest rate for some time, but not for the banks, only last year did the central banks remove the spread for banks to borrow money from or hold money at the central bank, but now they cannot increase the incentive to borrow ever again for this civilization) this means the debt collateral (it's not an asset if you have debt on it) wont be able to appreciate either!

And energy inflation is VERY deflationary for housing because you need to buy heat, water and food before you pay rent/interest.

One easy way to see this trainwreck in motion is to watch the state of houses that need repairs, the second you cannot borrow to repair a house the music stops. In fact, that you can borrow to do maintenance in the first place should have been enough warning.

We're living through the biggest margin call possible right now (a margin call on money itself, or as you should call it "housing backed debt" because thats 99% of it) and there is nothing anyone can do about it!

The end game is that there is a split between debt money and non-debt money in terms of what interest rate they have, and again the spread will increase until things get out of hand, they allready are; in some countries you pay negative rates on your savings above a certain amount and at the same time the loan rates will increase in the other direction!

Spreads and margins!
You can certainly have a monolith in a monorepo.
The bidding up of existing ones is a side effect that happens however central banks are more about controlling investment in new ones than the price of existing ones.

Higher prices of houses means there is more incentive for them to be built (or repaired) and for the builders to be paid well. Central banks stimulation is meant to make sure this happens to a sufficient degree, just not so much that builders (and workers more generally) are paid too well that it would drive inflation too high.
The F-22 has done air-to-ground strikes, its problem is just being too expensive.

Cash-flow producing assets become more valuable during inflation.

The rich own assets, they financed these assets with debt. Debt becomes less burdensome with inflation, increasing their equity.

At the same time, lendors lose with inflation. But who are the predominant lendors now? Life insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds, household / nonprofits, state and local govts., etc.

All of these institutions seem to be an aggregation of middle-class / poorer people vs. elites.

If you're Elon Musk you own Telsa. You're main source of liquidity is likely cash from a revolver[1]. During inflation, your debt becomes relatively smaller to your Tesla equity. Your net equity becomes larger.

I think this just leads to more inequality, more corporate control, and weaker labor bargaining power.

We'll see - hope its ok.

Right; with the notable exception of value provided by governments, which largely comes out of the pockets of the working class.
> how many users it has, how many transactions it facilitates, ... how many countries are adopting it (or likely to adopt it)

By these metrics, isn't fiat currency vastly more valuable? Yet even when a new fiat currency is created, you don't get a rush to "invest" in it.

> what kind of new concepts it enables, the usefulness of un-censorability

These are extremely squishy and any measure of value here is extremely subjective. Plus the latter property is not yet proven. Bitcoin, in particular, makes it very easy to trace the source/destination of a transaction. The same anti-money-laundering KYC practices that allow taking down drug dealers[1] could be used to censor someone from receiving donations/payments.

A fair few pension funds and charitable endowments have wealth locked up in property. Not saying that alone justifies protecting asset values, but it does have societal significance worth bearing in mind.
In the US, defense spending is ~700 billion, whereas the level of social care spending is about ~3000 billion.

Given the relative effectiveness of US healthcare and education, vs the US military, I’d sooner call US social spending a racket.

> It means the flight computer for a plane that took twenty years and a trillion dollars to develop can't detect that there's a fucking cover blocking the engine.

Of course the computer "could" do it. And maybe it did. That doesn't mean that precautions were followed, or that some sort of lock out feature for this would even be desirable design feature for a war machine to begin with.
It doesn't matter if it is a 100 year old artillery piece, they aren't exactly complicated, just large breach loaded guns. The only thing modern guns and artillery have over old guns is accuracy, which doesn't really matter when you have enough of them firing down range at a massive target.

Traffic is horrible in the Bay Area. Is the answer really “more people”? If it is, it needs to be coupled with infrastructure investment.
In the world of hardware, which I realize is a parallel universe to the one in this thread where "product" apparently means "app", the answers are "all the time" and "no", respectively.

If someone didn't take the time to do actual "engineering" - which is to say, using mathematics to formalize design requirements (again, possibly a foreign concept to the app-building class) and just YOLOed the design based on intuition, you can end up with something so fundamentally broken in concept that "fixing" it requires a bottom-up redesign starting from fundamentals. A child's drawing of an airplane is not progress towards a blueprint of one!
"The House of Lords held MGN liable by majority vote, with lords Nicholls and Hoffmann dissenting. Baroness Hale, Lord Hope and Lord Carswell held that the picture added something of 'real significance'. The court engaged in a balancing test, firstly determining whether the applicant had a reasonable expectation of privacy (thus determining whether Art.8 ECHR was involved). It then considered whether, if the claimant was successful, this would result in a significant inference with freedom of expression (balancing Art. 8 with Art. 10). It was held that Campbell's right to privacy (ECHR, Sch 1, Part I, Art 8) outweighed MGN's right to freedom of expression (ECHR Art 10)."

So there is a specific legal cutout for those cases.

The legal system is not usually made up of complete idiots.
They have validated the idea for you. Congratulations! And I can't imagine they are the be-all-end-all solution with no room for alternatives, are they?
i just have trouble understanding this angle. i grew up in the suburbs and moved into the city during year 2 of my career. i rent a home with 3 roommates even though i could afford that SFH you’re describing. why does a person desire to live in the city for any reason besides for the density?

“jobs”, “good food”, “nightlife”, “dating” and “social opportunities” are all things i hear. the last two are a direct result of density. the first 3 are only possible as indirect results.

anecdotally, the price per sqft of townhomes exceeds that of detached homes in several Seattle neighborhoods. several confounding factors, including the year of the building, but in general that suggests a preference opposite to what you claim. or at least, that, in the face of constricted supply we can’t really tell where the preferences truly lie.

This is really cool. I saw they emphasized that they were a winner of the "Red Dot Design Award" so I looked up the Red Dot award to find more cool products.

However, the Red Dot website shows 16,844 "winners" in the Product Design category over the past 10 years (Source: https://www.red-dot.org/search ).

Then I looked at their Fee Structure page, which shows registration costs betweene 300 and 650 Euros. You also have to send them the product (for free, of course). If you "win" you have to buy the 3950 Euro "Winner Package": https://www.red-dot.org/pd/participate

Not a bad business for them. Kind of funny to brag about this pay-to-play award on your website, though.
Agree 100%. If I cut the Ethernet to my router with garden sheers, none of my automations run and I'm left with a bunch of normal light switches and locks, like any other house.

And I have about 20 ZWave devices. They've been super reliable, but, it's a small house, so I can't speak for what would happen if I quadrupled. My Caseta stuff has been just as reliable.

What you're saying is that a critical piece of the 3-2-1 rule is a piece that isn't actually prescribed by the 3-2-1 rule: that you have "a backup which isn't accessible from the same system that it is backing up (i.e. offline backups)." Another reason that I don't think this "rule of thumb" as useful as it purports to be.

Presumably the rule was invented before ransomware was a thing, so perhaps it gets a pass for not anticipating versions, but yeah: the rule of thumb for the modern world probably includes something about backup versions.
Can you give examples of these "hacky domain specific scripts"? I love hearing about niche custom computing.
This seems like it would be taken care of fine by formalizing some remote training, mentorship, and pair programming activities. Something that better work environments already think about, remote or not. Not sure why this would be some sort of unsolvable problem.

In Michigan it's against the law to fertilize crops with human waste. Actually knew a farmer in the seventies who got caught and was fined for doing it. The reason is because it can spread disease causing pathogens to the crop.
