Well, in part because agreement about what is better is hard to come by. More single family housing? Townhouses? Small apartment complexes? Large apartment complexes?

You could say "well, how about all of the above?" but that just elides the tension between sprawl-based development and increasing urban density, which is also not a matter of widespread agreement. Many people don't like sprawl, but they also don't want dramatically increased urban density (or at least, not near them).
Well then don’t bait and switch.
Insightful take on it. Yet to be seen whether age halting/regression goes the path of HIV medication or the perpetual motion machine that humanity has likewise spent significant effort to attain.
HN isn't just for technical discussion. That ought to be clear both from the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and the front page every day. HN has had articles about this kind of thing pretty much since the beginning and there are often interesting details and twists to discuss. Moreover, the ongoing NSO/Pegasus story is one that a lot of the community has been following with genuine interest. So I think it's ok (I admit I didn't read the article though!)

Most importantly: no matter what the topic is, it doesn't make it ok for commenters to break the guidelines. Just the opposite, in fact—that's why we have this one:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Your comment obviously broke that, as well as several others, which is why I replied as I did.

The workers, unlike capitlists, earn a fixed salary. Inflation makes this salary have increasingly less buying power. This way workers are forced to negotiate a raise every year just to keep up with inflation and don't become poorer.

So, to be able to save, workers are forced to buy real estate that they don't need, making it less affordable for people who actually need to buy a house or get exposed to stock market risks.

All these problems caused by absence of hard money.
Valuations are just the price one person is willing to pay for something and the other party is willing to sell for. I wouldn't over think it too much.

Maybe there is some industry standard valuation method based on organic traffic, but at the end of the day even if it spits out some valuation you'll still need decide if it's a price you're willing to sell for. I also doubt whether any organic traffic valuation model would be particularly useful in practice. The valuation of something like this is going to depend largely on what keywords the site is ranking for and how monetisable the content you have on the site is. It could also depend on things like the domain name and the buyer's interest in the purchase to some extent too.

Just go in with a price you'd be very happy to sell for and if they're interested they'll come back with a counter offer. For what it's worth, my guess is that it's worth somewhere between $1,000 - $50,000 based on my limited experience of this market, but a killer domain and 2.5m clicks in a hot market like crypto would significantly increase the value.
The article was about a big drop in an hour. A constructive comment would be people discussing large transactions that occurred causing the drop or the market mechanisms of leverage and short positions, and how levered bets have to be unwound when the price drops, exacerbating the initial drop.

What's the most recent leverage policy of most exchanges? Who offers the most leverage? Are those exchanges the ones that get hit first as positions liquidate? Did all exchanges drop approximately the same? Is there a whale that unloaded?

There are a million things interesting things that could be discussed and I wish someone with more in-depth knowledge could comment. But instead I see these low effort 'cryptocurrency bad' posts.
Hey, thanks for engaging and challenging my thought experiment. I think I could probably come up with a solution to that, but your point is made: this system will get arbitrarily complex very quickly. And require cryptography experts.

I definitely wouldn't do this for a Real Web App.
There is no evidence these changes are instigated by regular employees. This sort of stuff is usual driven by the the owners with larger stakes.

Voting with your wallet has worked in several isolated instances where there is a clear divide and an ability to coordinate large groups of people. Meanwhile it has failed in areas with obfuscation and unclear understanding of complex processes (most of the companies/organizations in the world). Technical understanding of Bitcoin and crypto in general is so limited it certainly falls into the latter category.

Nothing which responds to interactions with humans operates outside the whims of any group of people.
You can go work for a company that permits discussion of salaries? That is the actual free market. And if no such company exists, you can start one. Surely you would attract all the workers from the other companies because they would prefer to work in a company with transparent information?

I don't think this "information asymmetry" thing will work out well for the workers. What if there are some people who are more productive than others, but have the same job title? Do they really want to hear "yeah we pay you less because you are less productive"? Or vice versa "yeah, you work twice as hard as Simon, but you have the same job title, so he still gets the same pay, sorry". Those social actions all sound very good, but I think people can sour on it quickly when they realize they are the ones who effectively pay for their unproductive colleagues that can't be fired.

I don't think that will go down well, and will just make things more difficult to run.

And the impetus is still "socialist", equal pay for everybody, businesses are exploiting people and so on, those are socialist talking points.
Why not? There's a ton of people unable to live their life fulfilling due to their exploitative jobs. If we could remove some of the necessity of their job, then wouldn't their lives be improved? And isn't that a good thing?
It isn’t hard to conceptualize because it doesn’t exist as you imagine,there are great service jobs, and calling them all bad is prejudice and shows a lack of experience with any good ones.

I know college graduates that work as servers and hosts/hostesses, they love the social life, the tips they make are more than their college required job, and they made a rational decision.

The service industry isn’t a monolithic evil.
In particular, the business could sign the version it sends to the consumer, and the consumer wouldn’t even have to know about it (pdf’s support attachments).

I get the feeling this whole business could be wiped off the face of the earth by an open source hobby project and an enterprise sales team.
Depends on the change specific EIP brings...
Its probably more appropriate to say that they are one of the most powerful lobbyist groups simply because it’s hard to quantify and compare power.
Right now big tech just acquire all threats. If anti-trust starts to get more teeth, and shifts towards regulating scale and power more directly with less focus on ham-handedly trying to regulate specific outcomes based on political fashion or poor analysis of feasibility or second-order effects then we will likely see the lawyers come out in force. Which is okay if we can find the right political leader, because the facts on the ground for small business is hanging right there for a savvy leader to craft a killer narrative. The problem is democrats have completely lost the thread on what benefits real people, and the republicans are still hungover from an era where facts were meaningless so they really have no platform or principles at all anymore. I do have hope that a grassroots leader can emerge though.
How do you do a cryptographic signature in Apple Preview?
Now depending on your viewpoint you might say that wage labor is inherently exploitative
Looks pretty factual. They've been quite clear that it's a 'reasonable assumption'
it's not that weird. no one talks about raising taxes for the people who would see a net benefit from more public services.

> Use cases like storing the history of a car on chain, transparent supply chains, public voting...

What you'll tend to find is that adding computers and cryptography can't solve this problem. Because it still relies on someone to truthfully put data into the database. The sketchy used car salesman can still swap the sticker saying "look for the blockchain under address 123456" with one saying "789123" like they do today, or just lie about the sales price when selling it off. That's the fraud that happens today.

Similarly, supply chains: it doesn't matter where the supplier entered "2,000 bananas", whether it's a database or a blockchain if an empty box still shows up on your doorstep.

Public voting? There's no way to tie an address to an identity; what's preventing someone from doing a Sybil attack? DAOs try to work around this with "one vote per dollar", which is not a voting structure everyone thinks is useful, for hopefully obvious reasons. If you can tie an address to an identity, you have to be careful not to lose the pseudonymous property: you might not want your boss to know which way you voted.
Was not enough.

On family wage income, yes. However, moving that stuff offshore also reduced wages as service jobs became the norm. For many, buying power dropped.
I’m super into shipping containers, so when I see job ads for that shipping logistics YC business, it makes me smile.

I’m not really invested in what Jerry or BuildZoom do for their business, so I gloss over them when I see them.

I don’t think “Jerry is hiring” is meaningful when the company name is Jerry. Like, I can work out that BuildZoom must be some kind of property mumble something, and that Flexport is doing “port” work with shipping logistics, but I honestly can’t imagine what Jerry does.

I think, then, that my objection is that “Jerry is hiring” is a bad headline, if that’s the actual headline they used. They’re not informative, they don’t explain to me what’s unique, they just say “hiring”. Yay, I guess, but not really the right spirit. Frequency isn’t the problem, useless headlines is.

Here’s an example from two minutes that talks about this:

“Meticulous (YC S21) Is Hiring #2 Founding Engineer in London”

None of this is “curious”. I mean, sure, it’s useful to know, and it makes their job add stand out from the pack of job ads. But HN isn’t a pack of job ads.

What does Meticulous do? Why do they matter? YC must have invested in them because of something, but that’s absent from this headline.

I looked them up and from their search blurb, here’s a made up headline:

“Meticulous is hiring: We analyze browsing sessions to find website bugs”

Is this a fully accurate summary of Meticulous? No. Is it enough to tell me whether I want to consider working there? Yes.

What does Jerry do?

EDIT:

Here’s example downthread of a zero-curiosity headline:

“Why Hive Is Such A Uniquely Dope Place To Work”

It’s clickbait, sure, but my point is that it doesn’t tell me why Hive deserves customers, and without that, I don’t know how to evaluate whether I’m a good fit for them. Especially compared to what I remember from a Flexport headline, reconstructed from memory:

“Flexport is hiring: Help us solve the shipping logistics crisis”

That tells me what they do, and why they deserved YC funding. That lets me consider whether I would be a good fit for their business. It’s absent from most hiring ads and so I openly ignore most hiring ads.
His plan was for Greek government debt to be restructured (so it can be paid at some point in the future), for many reforms to be implemented and to reject "bailouts" and strict austerity that would only increase debt and decrease ability of Greek government to service the debt.

The plan for "parallel" currency of IoUs was made so that Greece could continue functioning in case European Central Bank forced banks in Greece to be closed.
Sounds like printers improperly accessible by internet.
Not really. It’s more of a “how do you eat an elephant” problem. Answer: one bite at a time.

We’re doing that, even without the anti-aging label. E.g., things we now call “preventable deaths”. Even within that label, there’s a lot of opportunities that are far more tractable than others.

This is interesting not because of accuracy but because thinking of counter examples is really interesting. I don't study businesses much, do you know of any counter examples?
No it's not. The more a virus spreads, the more it mutates. The more it mutates towards more transmissible and less lethal, the more it spreads. Thus it's a positive feedback loop. Of course it's not a given though (there could be a more dangerous and more transmissible mutation), but the logic is clear.
> how to get the public IP and geolocation with `dig`

Yup, I wrote a DNS server that does just that. So, to find your public IP, you'd type the following:

`dig @ns.sslip.io ip.sslip.io txt +short`

It'll return your public IP.

On the other hand Netflix always had a much smaller rate of hiring than the others. If it was just about high pay Renaissance Technologies could have been included. It is best understood as high pay and large numbers of hires. In that view Netflix looks like a mistaken inclusion.
The original DNS implementation (called JEEVES) was written by Paul Mockapetris to run on the PDP-10, which is why the zone file syntax is not very unixy. The ; comments are one example: and backslash escapes are decimal rather than octal, line continuation uses () instead of escaping.
I don't know if "% of total returns" is a fair metric. As a percentage of market cap, they still dominate the S&P500. Not to mention every asset manager has to own them otherwise they risk looking stupid. They're today's bluechip, for better or for worse.
Why not an iPhone? I suspect a lot of others will have one and he'll appreciate being able to use iMessage.
I keep wondering how the pandemic will affect public opinion. I think it’s an opportunity. Excess deaths and total death rates are being reported to wide public for the first time. Czech Republic is one of the worst affected countries, it has at times doubled it’s monthly death rate. If people mourn and are angry about the half that died from covid, will they be more opposed to the other half dying of other causes (most related to aging). Covid of course is linked to aging as well.

I wonder, but I’m not sure. The “death is a natural part of life” is an extremely strong narrative, a coping mechanism really.
MANAMA? do doo di do do
I agree, my point was it depends on industry. You can’t build a modern Fab for a 100 million it simply takes billions to be competitive. Further, you need a pipeline of Fab’s to afford the R&D etc. At the other end a McDonalds franchise can be as profitable as their corporate restaurants.
Scripting with Babashka on Alfred
I honestly tried to read this page, but I just cannot get past the schizophrenic formatting. It seems like every one of the brand names involved is a combination of bold, italic, and normal text. Some of the parenthetical comments are a light gray color that is hard to read while others are not. Acronyms like HTML/CSS/JS are outlined in light blue for some reason. The comparison after the first videos has randomly smaller font size. Every usage of the common verb "sync" is bold and accompanied a service-mark superscript ("sync℠")

edit: In the spirit of trying to not just complain: an HTML playground with bidirectional sync of code state <> dom state is pretty cool! I look forward to seeing the open-source core :)
Depends who you ask.

I agree that it is unlikely that cryptocurrency replaces fiat currency entirely. What is more likely is a return to fiat money backed by an asset. A Bitcoin standard as opposed to the (relatively) recently abandoned gold standard.

Fiat currency as the world is experiencing it now is just as grand and uncharted of an experiment as Bitcoin.
Thanks- I haven't read that paper - or, to be fair, any of the MYCIN papers. I only knew this from ... word of mouth, I think? Let's put it down to "lore".

I'll read the paper and revise my knowledge- thanks again!
~~I would imagine so. To my knowledge it's an FPGA with their core IP running on it. You could probably get away without any kernel blobs but the firmware at the very least is going to need a binary blob to load their IP.~~

Edit: I stand corrected and should have read more into the product spec for this release before speaking. They have a proper ASIC now so I can't quite say without reading more into their docs.

Note: ~~ is strikethrough text but apparently that doesn't work on HN

IBM was a much bigger and more domineering monopoly at it's peak - there was a time where you effectively could not have computers or a datacenter without paying IBM money, directly or indirectly. I wouldn't qualify most of the FAANGs as monopolies (at least not yet) - reasonable substitutes exists for all of them.

The modern market does favor a handful of large players for each market - this is true in almost all sectors though. This not a monopoly though; as long as the top players change over time it is still a working market.

Steve Jobs: You pay to download songs, stop paying your library goes away
That’s plausible, but there might be trade-offs involved. There’s a theory — not sure how serious it’s taken by experts — that at least some of the mechanisms involved in aging have other benefits. For example, the fact that telomeres limit the number of cell divisions might also be a defense against cancer. A mutation that increases lifespan at the cost of this mechanism could be a net negative, from an evolutionary point of view.
I've used google hangouts and then Meets at my work and it's fine. It does not require any special training to use, it works as you'd expect, and basically gets out of your way.

I've used Zoom for online classes (as a student) and don't see any difference or advantage between it and Meets. You still click a link and and a window open ups, your camera turns on, there is a chat box, etc.
I have a personal preference for `nslookup`, too. But I don't want to fight about it--different strokes for different folks.

My favorite thing about nslookup is it's clear which server it's querying to get its information.
If the “best” way to do it is via a method which would discourage us from trying at all, we should change the definition of “best” to one that does not result in PTSD.
Because nobody owns anybody else a job.

The proper reaction if somebody makes you a bad proposal is to reject it. Plain and simple.
If you consider a certain threshold of match interchangeable then it makes sense. You're going to have bad hires no matter what. Complaining about fixed-pie replacement because one is a minority is not acceptable. The hiring committee probably worked hard to vet them, but things still go wrong, particularly if the organization trashes the person's incentives.

Furthermore, a large part of most orgs is fixed-pie.
As a CMU grad, I can report literally no one I've ever met outside of academia has heard of CMU, despite it being mentioned in passing in several blockbuster hits including: The Core, and The Happening.

Fun fact, the bookstore wasn't allowed to make shirts that said CMU for some time because Central Michigan University had a problem with that. Eventually they came to an arrangement and now you can buy CMU shirts at Carnegie Mellon.

sigh that's not "compiling" as programmers usually use it. PyInstaller merely packages uncompiled python programs into a self-extracting archive. Cython, on the other hand, can truly compile python3 into gcc object files which are then linkable.

I think what you are doing is an overkill tbh. Google provides a nice little wrapper around their APIs via Google Apps Script, which allows you to use JS to interact directly without much overhead. You can use a JS eml parser [1] for this convert it into a single file dependency using esbuild [2], which will allow you to easily work inside the App Script environment

Not really. Longevity research is about significantly extending the healthy lifespan. What we’ve done so far is increased the likelihood that an individual will live as long as the longest living human. But we haven’t meaningfully increased the lifespan of the longest living human. Theoretical human lifespan is about the same it has been thousands of years ago.
