> IPFS has no blockchain, and the overhead of transferring files is incredibly low thanks to lib-p2p.

Filecoin does, however, while you'll note was proposed as part of this. The problem with IPFS is the general one with P2P: there aren't enough people who are going to use their storage + network capacity to provide a CDN for strangers, especially with the personal legal risks to do so, and it's slower than a high-quality professionally-managed service like YouTube or Vimeo. That means that if you care about long-term availability, you need to pay for hosting and that likely will also require paying for bandwidth if the content becomes popular and/or you want to provide a competitive experience rather than simply pure archival.

> > Similarly, an NFT doesn’t prevent everyone from accessing it so you can’t force people to pay for the cost of their access and it doesn’t protect your ownership — that’s done by copyright laws enforced by the government.

> By itself it does not, coupled with other mechanisms, it can.

Yes, but that's like saying that if you buy a chainsaw and a loaf of bread you can make sandwiches. Either way you need to build and operate a system to store the video and provide authenticated access so the NFT is simply making that more expensive and adding additional failure modes.

> Access control to personal files is very much removed from where I expect government to exercise their own control.

This is like saying you don't expect the government to control access to your house. That's technically true but only if you define the problem so narrowly to omit the fact that the government provides the legal framework and enforcement which allows you to do so reasonably. For example, if you're trying to get paid for content someone will likely try to snag a copy and present it somewhere else with their ads; blockchains can't prevent that and will limit revenue only to the extent that the viewers care to validate an NFT. What does work is that you can send something like a DMCA request and get a prompt response from a hosting service because they know that the penalties for not doing so are enforced by the government rather than just your personal clout.

> The East India Company controlled about half of global trade. Amazon has less than 10% of the retail market in the U.S. Amazon is at least 2 orders of magnitude away from the East India company’s share of global trade

Amazon indeed has a much smaller share than the East India Company had, but I think you may have exaggerated a bit with "at least 2 orders of magnitude". It should have been "at least an order of magnitude".

• 2019 global trade was $19.0 trillion [1]

• 2019 US retail was $4.85 trillion [2].

• Amazon 2019 US retail was $0.22 trillion [3].

• Amazon 2019 global retail was $0.35 trillion [4].

I'm using 2019 because the US retail Amazon data at Statista.com [3] requires an account to view the graph but the visible text on the page includes the 2019 numbers.

That puts half of global trade at 43.2x Amazon US retail (1.6 orders of magnitude) and 27x Amazon total global retail (1.4 orders of magnitude).

Bad quality, leather, on the other hand, disintegrates within a few months.

I was at the Apple WWDC, where they passed out those leather jackets with the big blue "X" on the back.

Mine didn't make it to the next WWDC, and I took great care of it.

I think that they may have had a couple of versions of the jacket. I saw it reappear, for quite a while, on the bodies of Apple favorites (I wasn't one), for many years.

What's interesting about longevity medicine is because of these ethical considerations there aren't billions sloshing around fully occupying all interested researchers like there would be for something like Alzheimer's research. This makes the field more interesting because there aren't the usual big players funding research and vacuuming up all the talent.
That's why you also need to take money out of the top to counteract this.

Blacksmith wasn't a major job until the 1800s when industrial revolution made the job possible. In the 1800s a blacksmith should made nothing: everything was made in a factory and the blacksmith just did the final fitting or repair work. Sure they could and did do some custom decorative stuff, but only the rich could afford that.

Before then a city might have a couple in employee of the noble to make armor or swords, but the common person did without, or handed down tools until they couldn't be used at all. In a village a blacksmith was a side job of a talented farmer, but it couldn't pay the bills as nobody could afford to buy much custom made metal.

> There are stories in the newspaper every few years about a corner stop selling cheap bootleg alcohol that has caused someone to go blind (or die) because it contained too much methanol. I for one am quite glad that alcohol production is well regulated.

Can you find a case of methanol poisoning for beer or wine brewing where the maker hasn't deliberately added in something extra that contains methanol (e.g. from fluids sold for industrial use)?

I find when the news reports stories like this, they bury in the story where the methanol poisoning came from so the general public are led to believe that all alcohol brewing is incredibly dangerous, including making non-distilled drinks yourself.

For example, the first link from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_methanol_poisoning_inc... is https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-06/grappa-poison-william...:

"Man pleads not guilty to manslaughter and grievous bodily harm following home brew tragedy...Mr Meredith said Lynam bought methanol to use as industrial weed killer and confused it with ethanol when the home brew was made."
At t=0 you rarely have 0% of the information and usually you can get more information ahead of starting to jump into the water. The problem is that stakeholders often pressure for early results which prevents enough planning and information gathering.

Of course you can also waste too much time on planning and information gathering, but that's not something I have ever witnessed. Usually time is wasted by starting to develop without making a proper plan.
I think this is partly due to the "feature saturation" that happened in the 90's & early 2000's. As a knee jerk reaction to that, software became "lean" and very "do one thing & do it well" (Basecamp era).

IMO now we're going back to feature saturation. Notion for me is the perfect example - great piece of generalist software that doesn't do any 1 thing particularly well. New GitHub issues too & the new Trello features too. Jeez, even Basecamp nowadays.

Petty theft proliferates only because people are willing to let it.

I live in a city that is stereotyped with rusting factories and falling down houses. We don't really have a petty theft problem because there's still political will to not tolerate petty theft. The police resources to proactively go after it don't really exist but they come if called. The thieves here are really clumsy and tend to break ribs and get black eyes slipping on ice in June or falling down one stair so that tends to dissuade people from making a regular income stream out of it so you're just left with opportunistic theft. When the police do happen to catch a thief they prosecute.

Blaming the majority of social problems on it is just plain silly. Take any given time period n from present day t - n and expand it into a stasis for decades. It wouldn't evaporate social problems if we were stuck using dos, let alone the majority of them.

The actual stressor that gets fixated upon and scapegoated appears to be something ironically very old and unchanged - memento mori. The Eiffel Tower was called hideous and something to tear down to those who knew the city long before its placement. For those later it was a part of Paris and tearing it down would be sacrilege. Beyond a certain point in life everything new becomes a marker of your obsolescence as you personally remember how things were before. Those after you never would.

>could be diluted by including non-minimum wage jobs

Wouldn't there be a stair-step effect eventually? For example, licensed vocational nurses are typically in the next tier up, with ~$20/hour entry level pay. But it's hard work. If you aren't paying more than the jobs that used to be minimum wage, but now aren't, you won't be able to hire anyone.

Then rinse and repeat that for the 3rd tier.
Show HN: Honest Math – Simulate Your Financial Future
We're a small team building professional-grade financial planning tools for everybody. Our aim is to democratize the powerful resources traditionally made available only to financial advisors.

The financial independence movement is popular and growing, and folks have more resources available to them than ever before. Unfortunately, some of the most popular "Retirement Calculators" online are flawed and misleading. We'd like to give people better tools.

We recently launched our MVP: a powerful Monte Carlo portfolio simulator with "fat tails" and "Black Swan" features. It's entirely free to use.

We understand that making an account is a pain and seems unnecessary. But here's the skinny: we're scaling this with Amazon Web Services. Since we're new and growing, we sincerely don't know how much it's going to cost to keep everything running 24/7 in the cloud. The affordability is looking promising, and we'd love to give folks free and powerful software. But until we get a better grasp on the potential overhead, we need a way to filter for usage abuse and other shenanigans. Having folks make accounts is the best way for us to monitor this for now. We plan to soon add Google and social media log-in options, too.

For what it's worth, we never share or sell your email address, but we understand the skepticism, and we want folks to use the tool in any event. So, if it's a dealbreaker, we encourage you to use a temporary/disposable email address. The only downside to this approach is that we won't be able to alert you when we've made updates. And we've got some cool things coming.

We'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions.
> No, by definition. Do you see a stream of water back to the beginning of waterfall in any waterfall on the planet? Nope.

The cure exists, it's just not politically acceptable. Society would rather pump you up with crazy meds like remicade or chemotherapy like methotrexate than just do the cure. It took me years to find the cure because politics has poisoned the entire subject. The general advice given for crohns is literally not helping, and in fact probably making things worse.

> Self hosting is not something a normal person can just learn overnight and manage

Not self-hosting, as in having their own bare metal server in the basement, but most people can go to a VPS/cloud provider and click a few buttons to get their own instance running whatever software they need.

Not only this, but people have always been self-hosting without having any technical knowledge. For a long time, kids ages 14 or less have been running their own websites, forums, game servers, etc. And today it's a lot easier and cheaper than back then.
This article advocates logging performance timings. You can’t track someone with that.

Firstly, yes you can - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2441386_Timing_Atta... - but that's not the point here.

Secondly, web perf testing benefits from user tracking. It is very common for perf and tracking to be used together. In fact, I don't actually know of a time where I've seen perf metrics being used without tracking. I'd agree that it's possible to track perf metrics without tying them to a specific user, but even then you still need to be sending user data back to your server. I'm not in favour of that for something as trivial (in most case) as just making a website load slightly faster.

Site owners should start with the assumption that they don't actually need data and then only track things that are critical to the functioning of their website. There will be very few cases where knowing how fast the page loaded actually meets that criteria.
I found this to be many words with little information. It largely boils down to "when Amazon increases wages, other employers follow suit, to varying extents."

There was almost nothing about the myriad of other effects, including things like inflation, effects on already higher wage earners, effects on automation, and more.

They touched on the increase in unemployment from competitors, but that was it.

If I understand the post correctly, it's still native compiled code in the end, and it won't run through WASM. The goal of the approach sounds more like a code sanitizer tool to ensure the external library they're using isn't making calls outside of it, or requesting memory beyond the region its given.
