An absolute claim that is easily disproven by doing even a modicum of research into the space.
You _say_ that, but this wouldn't be the first player in this space to say they have billions of dollars to cover everything, when they actually had $0 after having siphoned all profits along the way.
Doesn't that boil down to the argument "oh but look at the jobs!".

Where I live, we have the same argument when it comes to the oil and gas industry, the military industry etc. etc.
My 2015 Tesla S 70D (AP1.5) does just this for Autosteer by adding an icon in the instrument cluster to say that the car thinks it could do it. I wish it had an optional chime for it though as I really don't want to spend much time looking at the instrument cluster.
Rather than substituting vegan alternatives in traditional meat meals (like mushroom burger instead of hamburger) I'd personally rather be exposed to more great vegan/vegetarian recipes that were intended to be vegan/vegetarian by the cultures that have great veggy dishes like in South Asia.

One way I've gotten more exposed already is watching Rick Stein shows on Amazon like Far Eastern Odyssey and India. Before watching that I thought things like curries were too hard or annoying to make. On the contrary his simple approaches made it clear some of these spicy veggy dishes are the easiest and tastiest to make with whatever veggies you have laying around.

Isn't signal deep in debt at the moment?

I know I got to start learning to pay if I don't want to end up with another FB or GOOG in the future.

$5/month for a communication app, that is in essence a daily driver, is reasonable for most European/North America users.

Having said that, no-one in my circle uses Signal :/
Can you say more about the crypto payments you use? I was under the impression that crypto payments had a very high transaction cost so am curious about your setup.

It would be sad to see the HoloLens project dying. I have used a HoloLens and developed something on it and as far as I can judge it's the only headset that really actually works and ist not just a huge pile of wishfull thinking of marketers. And I would say it works incredibly well. Sure, FoV and image quality are suboptimal but everythin else is just incredible. Nothing feels half-baked. The docs and tools are also stellar to work with, even for beginners.

This is the field of study called Logic. For a good page with resources see:

Often when that decision is made it is taken away from the user. For example when "There are decent sounding arguments for both" it is often exactly the right choice to leave the option available if it doesn't come at too much cost.

Often used ones aside options are generally so hidden away anyway and thus the choice of a sensible or popular default can be made regardless without complicating the main UX.
For me, the service just works and I would get good value out of it at twice the cost. So it’s a good deal.
That's a pretty mind-boggling number.

And to rub more salt into the wound I'd bet almost every single Facebook employee is all-in on Apple hardware. So they are literally empowering the very company responsible for tanking their stock
This is what I was thinking as well.

I find bookmarks work just fine for me in Firefox. However, it only works well for the 10 bookmarks that I use weekly.

If I bookmark anything and I don't use it soon after, it inevitably languishes. I have dozens of bookmarks from years ago for lectures I wanted to watch, tutorials I wanted to follow, games that I wanted to play, blog posts that I wanted to read. It was a list of things I wanted to be or do, but haven't taken the time.

A bookmarking tool can't change whether I have follow through. It's a tool to keep track of things, but I have to spend the time.
My evidence is what I saw with my own eyes. Specifically, I used a pack of canderel, if anyone would like to repeat the experiment.

It's funny, I've been a professional python dev for 8 years or so and I can't remember a single instance of whitespace having caused a bug.

The closest I can think of is:

if something:
...handle something..
elif something_else:
...handle something else..
if other_thing:
...handle other thing...
elif yet_another_thing:
...handle yet another thing...
else:
...for everything else...

If I had a frustration with python it would be the prevalence of "who needs types when we have dicts". This situation has been somewhat improved by dataclasses but lots of our code predates them by many years.
Wether a house is rented or owned by the person occupying it doesn’t effect the basic supply/ demand dynamics of the market. Punitive taxes on landlords isn’t going to cause housing prices to come down because the cause of high prices is a housing shortage. There is no indication supply is being artificially depressed by people letting houses sit unoccupied.
That's a symptom of the poor signal-to-noise ratio in the space, not that it's a correct assertion.

The cypherpunk thing is happening now, not in the 90s like you might have hoped. It's startling to me how poorly received it is on HN from people who would ostensibly be a part of it otherwise.

Is tech/computer science the only STEM field that had boot camps?

medicine, nursing, electrical engineering, civil engineering, physics, biology, environmental science, etc.

Going through a list of stem fields in my mind, I can't think of any other fields that have boot camps.

My buddy went to hairdresser school and it was longer than a lot of technology boot camps.

Just feels unusual that in the industry, a 2-month boot camp competes with a 4-year computer science degree.

Facebook (Meta) is still the biggest competitor. WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram DMs.
I have no doubt that people will use bots on this, but what you're describing doesn't actually sound like anyone is cheating. Because of the way the game scores, there's not really an advantage to taking your time, so it quickly becomes obvious that the best strategy is to use the same first 3-4 words on every game, and then pause to try and get the actual answer.
I never said macro price changes were driven by desirability changes - my point was almost exactly the opposite: The macro price is irrelevant. The top 5% of homes for sale will never be available to 50% of buyers. Price differences at a point in time signal relative desirability of homes. Over time, prices may go up or down, but the top 5% of homes will always be significantly more expensive than the median home.
Web2.0 for all of its buzzword bs did actually represent a fairly major change in the way websites are designed and used. Web3 is just an attempt by crypto bros to legitimize their scams. Just like the Metaverse it means nothing and consists entirely of hot air.

I may have misunderstood. These statistics are generated by the government checking vehicles after they've been in service for 3 years by an end consumer? And only after the dealer gives it an immediately preceding check? If so, that invalidates my point.

If it's just the results of regular dealer maintenance, it's fuzzier.
Agreed, it helps reduce the cognitive load and context switching by a decent margin. If you can't achieve co-location, at least structure the directories the same way or name related files the same thing.

If you have a partial/catalog/product/buy.js file, have a partial/catalog/product/buy.scss file as well. Finding the CSS for the buy.js component inside add-to-cart.scss is very lame.

>That Mississippi of all places legalizes marijuana means that it will probably be legalized in all 50 states within a year or two.

I highly doubt it. And at a Federal level it will never be legalized. The Biden administration has no plans and the folks involved are just playing games and never had any intention of fulfilling their promises.
Which crypto payment processor is that? How do users interface with it, can they use their debit/credit cards in your store?
If a non-profit organization like Signal (whose goal is to protect free expression and privacy) were to offer a service with integrated messaging, contacts, and calendars that synchronize reliably over devices , I know of multiple teams that would love to leave their existing provider of those services -- and they are willing to pay a nice annual fee per user.
The most reasonable position is that for some purposes intrusive ads perform worse and for others significantly better.

In a sense ads can measure a few axes of a buyer, if your critical axes correlate well with that noisy signal then it will perform well.
PC is a tool and you can play games on it, just like your mobile phone is a phone/pocket computer that you can also game on.

The way I see VR right now is a niche version of a gaming console with high barriers to entry and bad image. Gaming consoles took decades to get widespread adoption.

I really like my LG OLED tv but I knew this kind of shenanigans would be something they did when I bought it. Also I've always found the built in "smart" functions on any tv to be slow, clunky and not customizable.

From day one I've never put it online. I use my Nvidia shield for all the smart functions because it's 5 years old and still super fast. I side load apps, I can root it, I can use the android ndk to compile binaries to run natively on it, etc...

It's unfortunate that the state of our electronics as a whole have become such as they are. All of them are just bad with these smart functions, and wait until they stop updating it and a bug is encountered that won't be fixed because it's out of warranty.

I just wish the consumer base as a whole would wake up and stop putting up with these shenanigans.

Since repair schematics are available for the hardware on these things, I sincerely believe that the software they run should be released similarly. Especially in the case where the warranty has expired, software, tooling to install, etc... Must be released in to the public as either public domain or under a license that allows modifications and redistribution.

> Unfortunately, no one can help you with the other hard problem: naming.

I have a guiding principle here: If, a few minutes after naming something, you want to use the thing and (without looking it up) your first attempt at writing the name is correct, it's a decent name.

If you name a function processFoos and then later in your code your first intuition for what it was called is createBars, then there is some disconnect (and possibly some missing conceptual clarity) in what this function is supposed to accomplish. Is it more about accepting foos or is it more about creating bars? I find it very productive to, in such a case, dive a bit deeper into these differences (which may often also reveal something about different perspectives between caller and callee).

So TL;DR: If you don't have to look up the name of what you wrote minutes ago, it's probably a good name.
A couple of weeks ago a friend sent me a link to /r/Overemployed, basically it's a bunch of people (mostly CS/tech types) working 2,3,4 full time jobs doing just enough work to not get fired. Per the sub founder:

"Overemployed is a community of professionals looking to work two remote jobs, earn extra income, and achieve financial freedom. Be free from office politics and layoffs. Instead, negotiate a severance and invest in your life."

I've read every thread in the sub the past two weeks and... just wow. Per the admission of some they/people they know have been doing this as far back as the 1990s. Are you aware of anyone doing this? I'm curious how widespread this is.

Personally, this feels extremely dishonest to me, last year I worked over 450 hours of overtime just trying to keep freight moving for my company and the idea that there are people out there drawing multiple full time incomes for doing 5, 10, 15 hours of work a week between their multiple jobs (that's what people are claiming in the sub) just makes me sick.
Seeing an ad for a product or service makes me less likely to buy/use it. Luckily for advertisers I block as much advertising as I can so I may still accidentally become their customer.

I don't think any of those roles you mention help me understand what is being sold. It's true they're bringing it to my attention but they'll also be lying about it to the maximum extent permitted by local laws.

Guilty as charged! I'm building my own 'unique' take on bookmarks[0] (really it is unique ;-) .

I think the reason this comes up is that people have more and more stuff to keep track of, and more and more of peoples stuff is accessed in a browser. Not so long ago there were standalone apps for email, word processing, spreadsheets, group chat, bug tracking, CRM etc etc. Now all of that stuff is inside some web app I get to in Chrome - me all all the other billion+ knowledge workers using Chromium. Thats why everyone has 50 tabs open at any given time.

When almost everything I want to track has a unique URL it opens up possibilities and the browser builders have not been keeping pace.

> : if Silicon Valley residents woke up tomorrow morning and discovered 5,000,000 new homes on the market, would that be predicted to influence the price? Of course it would, and that impact would be that prices would immediately plummet.

It might also plummet because quality of life would go down as resources that cannot be replicated have to be divided amongst many more people. Same as tourist hotspots. Why would people already living there want more crowded trails, ski slopes, and beaches?
Yes, many things bookmarked are things that we just want to instantly recall, in conversation for example, but bookmarks don't accomplish that.

Unless we have amazing memory, or put in work to build something like a memory palace, nothing accomplishes that.
Facebook through influence on audience has power to wreck political and humanitarian situation in any country in the world right now. TikTok potentially has that power 5-10 years from now. Whatever solution you find to Facebook will also mostly apply to TikTok.

While I appreciate that these tactics are used by large business (including Facebook) to manipulate people. As the author of the comment you are replying to I'm speaking from experience as a small business owner. We have seen this impact directly and I can attest to it being true. So, yes it does impact small businesses and yes I am asking for people to sympathetic to them and their employees.

My theory: the larger your bookmark collection grows, the more indistinguishable it becomes from Google. It basically becomes a curated search index. The closest I have come to using bookmarks is through Firefox address bar suggestions from my browsing history.
> I reduced a portion of my ecommerce store checkout fees to <1% by using a crypto payment processor > stripe's highway robbery of 3% per sale.

This is misleading because it moves all of the costs to other transactions: Your users have to get their money into exchanges (credit card fees occur here if using a card), buy the cryptocurrency (exchange fees), transfer it to you (transaction fees), and then you need to transfer the cryptocurrency somewhere else (more transaction fees), and exchange it back to another currency (more exchange fees).

Then you have to account for exchange rates, which fluctuate constantly. If I need to buy something for $100 from your store, I need to buy at least $101-$102 of cryptocurrency in case the exchange rate slips while I’m going through all of the above steps. That extra $1-$2 floats around in my wallet forever if you’re using some obscure cryptocurrency that I’m not going to use again any time soon. At best, I now have yet another account to maintain and track and do math on whenever I need to buy something.

It ends up being far, far more expensive than Stripe’s checkout payments. It’s just misleading because the expenses are spread out across so many different touch points.
I am fundamentally not interested in managing monthly bills for things. You won’t win me by asking for recurring donations. Just ask me for ten bucks for some one-time symbolic upgrade.

Also I’ve recently been back on the App Store for the first time in a long while. WHAT IS GOING ON?! The gall for simple, offline only apps like a little piano keyboard to want monthly fees for continued use. There isn’t even an illusion of continued feature adds or some recurring service.
That would be true if the lot size were the same as the high cost locations and home inventory could be created overnight.

In reality, as we are seeing in Idaho, despite large swaths of undeveloped land available, the homes are still skyrocketing in price due to lack of inventory.
Wow, I saw a few threads involving people claiming 4 full-time jobs too. Interesting to see it here on HN.
Please continue to contribute to Wikipedia. It's one place in the internet I can go and not be bombarded with ads.
When buying a house people consider how much the monthly rent is. They don’t care how much interest they pay over the life of the loan. Everyone (except those off the grid so to speak) pays a monthly rate to live in a dwelling. The mindset of buyers is to buy a place with an affordable monthly payment and hope that in x years they can sell the house for a profit or live long enough in the house so that their monthly payment is much cheaper than renting a place.
Yep. Me too. The network meta-data is always present (IP, src, dst, date, time, etc.). Law enforcement could use that to find criminal actors committing crimes on the app.

But having such an app would allow law abiding individuals to communicate privately and securely without disclosing their personally identifying data to anyone.

> no barrier to entry except knowledge

That’s fundamentally it, there’s a barrier to entry, and it’s knowledge. Other sciences may require specialized instruments and time, but math is also subject to the problems of knowledge not being instantaneously transferable. And I imagine, although I’m not certain how prevalent it is, that many branches of mathematics are also dependent on instrumentation these days, in the form of software.

And we all know how software can be…
