The USD as a default reserve currency gives US citizens outsized PPP. If the USD was no longer the reserve currency, there would be pricing shocks throughout the economy.

Reserve currency status allows the US to advantageously print away its debt and more easily navigate global recessions. It's essentially a superpower, and the US won't give it up easily.

While it's true that the US is not a net producer, it has a best in class service economy. Software, entertainment, financials.

Soon China won't be able to cheaply afford to run its factories and it too will be looking to outsource to developing countries. This is why it's morphing into a service economy as well.

Manufacturing hopping from country to country is a great tool for bringing entire nations out of poverty. The lack of low hanging fruit for developed economies makes it harder for the middle class than in earlier generations (midpoint in the S-curve), but bringing manufacturing back won't work without tariffs and a shut off of cheap imports.

While the US could do well to onshore production of critical components (semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, steel, etc.), or to place them in more friendly international jurisdictions (bonus if they're not concentrated to one country/region), the long-term future for production is automation.
I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes, I've been continually self-employed for almost two decades now.

Given that I dislike being around people in general the pandemic has been fantastic for me in that it enabled me to work from home, and I've now managed to continue that with my current employment contract which has my permanent place of work listed as home.

Overall, not having to commute to the office (and pay for trains, fuel, lunches, etc) is saving me over £8k/year, and I still have the advantage of being able to go in when needed (such as if there's a social planned for the evening or suchlike).
Don't forget the rapes! Systematic, state-sanctioned RAPE.

Say what you will about the Hays Code, but I would hardly consider Gone With the Wind, The Great Dictator, Casablanca, It's a Wonderful Life, Sunset Boulevard, The Ten Commandments, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Ben-Hur, Spartacus, Psycho, West Side Story, Lawrence of Arabia, To Kill a Mockingbird, Paths of Glory, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, or, you know, Citizen Kane to be especially "crappy" movies.
Forced curriculum on students, at all, is no different than re-education camps; state sponsored indoctrination that both political parties (currently) support.

All education should be consensual
It won’t render crypto useless because it is still subject to inflation unlike Bitcoins. The idea that Bitcoin protects owners from dollar inflation can be false, but as long as many believe in that notion, eUSD cannot replace Bitcoin.
I have two kids and I’ll be the first to tell people who ask that it’s not for everyone. First, maybe with climate change none of us should. Second, you have to be ready to stick with things even when you don’t think you can, like literally do not see a way through. It will break you.

On the flip side you will learn more about what you are capable of and you will be responsible for this little magical person who will make the world and time freeze just for a moment when they give you a hug and a kiss.

Is it worth it? That’s the wrong question…
This sounds like 1. fantastic fun, and 2. an effective way to find a number of bugs; remarks like "Unfortunately, not every package respects the build options" and "things that expect dbus to be present" (to build!?) sound like there are clear improvements begging to be worked out. (Not that I'm implying that the author, or anyone else, is obligated to do so; chasing bugs and deficiencies in packaging is easily a full-time job if allowed to be!)
What’s crazy about it? And how would contexts by more ergonomic than method chaining? Hard to imagine honestly.

You can always use intermediate variables if you want to.
Why is that bogus? He's just making an extremely loose claim.

We do know with certainty global testosterone and sperm count is going down.
Not to minimize or trivialize these numbers, but it puts what we're going through in perspective.

In 2008-2022 estimated 288,000 Iraqi's died, due to war.

2020-2022 estimated 926,029 American's died, due to covid-19.

I wonder when we will understand the true impact ~1m dead American's had on our nation.
Thanks, I thought I saw the demo before on HN but I was not sure as I couldn't find the domain.

Gone with the Wind is probably the big exception - well done, for sure, but blatant pro-South propaganda...

> Google doesn't want an Internet strong and rich in content: All of it's actions have been in the direction of moving towards the AOL model. Absorbing all the content it can, not paying for any of it,

This is extremely apocalyptic scaremongering & I see no basis in factor for any of this. I see no basis-in-fact for fear of Google becoming a predominant content network, in subsuming media. Google links. They link outbound. Again and again and again. They are the hub that users trust to get to good content, but they don't profit from that content. Such an elementary & grevious mis-perspective as yours harms an assessment as to the real dangers at hand.

Your fear uncertainty & doubt grows only more misleading as we go through your post. Whatever secondary impacts Section 230 has, it's intended effects have been working effectively & to the benefit of both society & competition. Hosting speech online would not be possible without Section 230. Sites could be quickly overrun by dissent activity, forcing them to shut-down as desires. To insist that a site maintain 100% certainty that all hosted content was benign, safe, legal is to insist on authoritarianism. You can either have freedom or security. Your post, to me, shrills desperate alarms for security, but at no point do you acknowledge or accept any trade-offs, recognize what freedoms you consign to doom. Your ask insists on complete & total moderation systems, something few upstart companies could ever have hopes of achieving, and something that would cause countless outer voices to be expunged from the net immediately. Sites also require protection from their users, another huge facet of this article you've disregarded.

I'd like to see some actual clashes with the article. You've made a bunch of alarmist, freaked out accusations. But none have direct bearing on any of the worlds in this article. You've brought new points to bear that, to me, have few bearings on the moral certainty Cato here raise: your points aren't irrelevant, but the moral fabric of society depends far more on the ability to speak, to host, to create a rich, diverse society of views, than it is threatened by some shitty low-grade actions which aren't great, but honestly don't seem that important to me. Your claim that 230 creates a complete escape from liability also rings false to me, another shrill & hollow freak out, scream for alarm, when in fact the world is no where near as on fire as your pleas would claim. I think you do a misservice.
Not needing retraining was a good goal because it improves safety. Sometimes airplanes have crashed because in a crisis the pilot did the right thing for another airplane he was trained on, but was the wrong thing for what he was piloting at the moment.

It's not just a cost saving measure.

MCAS was a sound concept. It's implementation, however, was not sound at all.
Ask HN: What is one book you would recommend everyone to read?
HN produces better book recommendations than any other place I know of. People at HN have recommended such books like Chimpanzee Politics, which are so basic yet eye-opening that everyone would benefit from reading them.

If you would get to recommend a single book for everyone to read, what would it be?
Most stablecoins are indeed centralized.
In this world, the comrades implement UBI in UCPD which seems great for a while but UCPD rapidly lost all its value. GrillBuxx also lose value, steadily, as the corporate world acting as a cartel agrees to starve them out by refusing to repair George Foreman grills or sell replacement parts to ailing church barbequemmunities. The people who depended on GrillBuxx move into the cities, ultimately, reduced to working at intolerably sensitive open offices for Diversynergium. In spite of having a small dedicated community of Conspiracoin barons roleplaying hype and drama with sockpuppets all day, it too crashes because eventually everyone else except the Diversynergium corporate deans and shareholders were too crushed by 90 hour workweeks for sky-high Diversynergium rents to be able to pay enough attention to keep it afloat. The poor workers of many diverse identity profiles and political viewpoints eventually die of asphyxiation when they can only afford to rent suitcases and fridges. The entire 4-segment economy crashes and the surviving descendants use rocks as currency.
I remember always being very impressed with the Japanese/Tokyo rail system being so punctual. But it was not until I saw this video [1] and read about it more that I understood that it was not out of some kind of "let's make this system really great" motivation (like voluntary desire for perfection) that you associate with Japan nowadays.

It was that they could not satisfy the need without it operating really reliably and punctually -- it was simply necessary to have.

[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se1XtS8LAKs -- Japanology, a pretty entertaining series in general, if you're interested in the quirks and daily life aspects of Japanese society. And one thing I like about this series is that they usually end each episode with some touching personal story of how someone relates to the overall theme of the episode (oddly enough, because I generally never like the attempt to create a “people story” on the news or documentaries).
Ah, my mistake. From what I read before I thought they just took it out of the library.
1984.

Yes, I know you've probably read it already, but it's probably time to read it again.
This looks great, and like something I was looking for a couple of months ago. I couldn't find anything, so I created my own [0] (limited) solution. But the Files app looks like it might replace this.

I don't see what is the problem compromising on those issues, it is not all or nothing issues, there is a whole range of possible compromises on most of the issues you have mentioned. For example abortions, you can compromise on the maximum month in which abortion is legal. Climate change, many conservatives will agree to stop subsidising coal power stations because it bode well with the free market views. Covid, you can come to some middle ground on whether to force vaccinations or just encourage it, what type of limitations and many other parameters which were discussed and indeed moved along the scale during the pandemic. Whether the Chinese did it intentionally? it is just an opinion, not really changing anything. Most people are not that extreme and are willing to find some common grounds, and normal people usually have friends and family they like with a whole range of opinions about anything and everything. I don't understand why the bleak outlook, maybe you live in a very non diverse area and see everything as us vs them but that's not the reality for most people.
it's not just you. I stopped reading MIT tech review because of how they like to bring their personal political views into everything.
Popular Mechanics (and Science in 2nd place) were the best and most impactful tech magazines ever. Every issue answered your already existing questions about how a, b, or c works. It inspired and drove me to learn anything and everything I could about engineering, science, computers, logic, physics, etc. Not all of which I use on a daily basis, but it taught me to understand that tools, widgets and inventions are really the secret to making big and valuable things happen. It taught me to live and believe perhaps to a fault the Einstein quote "Strive not to be a success, rather strive to be of value." The feelings of receiving the latest PM magazine (and saving it until a Saturday morning to read and absorb from cover to cover, then again, and again to happy exhaustion) is an excitement and enthusiasm I doubt I'll ever experience again. Understanding how the rear differential worked originally, and then the limited slip differential upgrade, not only makes My Cousin Vinny one of the best movies of all time one of the best movies of all time, it makes you understand how awesome it is to understand. How is a torque converter different from a clutch? What is the difference bt super-charged and turbo? Why is super-charged better than turbo? Why is cool air better than warmer air in an internal combustion engine in the first place? What is lift? What are the three axes of rotation in flight? What happens to airflow and the airfoil surfaces when the speed of sound is achieved? If you aren't curious and need to know these things, you will probably never be an expert in your chosen sphere. Everything has an analogy, relationships, life, death, business, family. It all starts by understanding how things and people work.

Anyway, Pop Mec was the best ever. Miss it more than I can say.
In other words, you're saying crypto really isn't about financial innovation, it's actually about anarchy. Well I want nothing of that.
Not sure if you read my past posts, or this is just a massive coincidence, but I did end up choosing a Canadian University. Hoping to graduate with a decent enough job to get PR and then Citizenship. :fingers_crossed:
Interesting. I've never ask myself this question, but reading your post I have realized that I really don't like solving problem together in person with whiteboard etc. Realizing that this cannot be considered as a good trait from professional perspective I still cannot resist the bitter feeling of hours wasted that way. My memory definitely deceives me - it couldn't always be that bad, but I can't help the impression is still strong.
Presumably he is US-based, in which case you can. I did find the verbiage of "discontinuing" people rather unsettling, but otherwise it's a thoughtful piece that resonated with my experience.
It wasn't followed by the Ethiopian pilots.

> Sometimes I wonder if I should have become an academic.

Really? HN recently has given me the opposite idea.
Yes, I understand some HN readers have this thought. I have gotten similar replies before. However, consider that I only send two to three headers: Host, Connection and (optionally) Cookie. There is nothing unique about the text-only browser by virtue of the patches. The TCP connetion and TLS is handled by a proxy. Sometimes I send the TCP requests with netcat, tcpclient, socat, etc. Then I open the HTML file with the browser.

Perhaps the proxy has a fingerprint, but it is a very popular proxy in widespread use.

Maybe the OS, e.g., the networking stack, has a fingerprint.

Maybe the TCP clients have fingeprints.

But seriously, what is the point of thinking about these things. Who is going to go to such lengths to try to "identify" me. What is their purpose. Am I a spy trying to hide from computer forensics nerds. No. Am I trying to "blend in". No. I am trying to improve the web experience. That involves 1. sending the minimum data (avoid feeding the online advertising juggernaut) and 2. reducing advertising, ideally to zero. I have done a good job of both 1 and 2.

Who is going to try to advertise to a user who is using a text-only browser.

Also, assuming hypothetically, for argument's sake, we tried to get every user to "blend in" by using the exact same browser with the exact same settings on the exact same computer. Which would be easier: (a) users have to copy all the settings and idiosyncracies of a "modern" graphical browser including numerous HTTP headers or (b) users have to refrain from running CSS or Javascript and limit to sending only two to three headers (Host, Connection and, optionally, Cookie) and only send one request at a time. The more points of differentiation one has to worry about, the greater the chance one will overlook something. Needless to say, the "modern" browser presents a greater number of points of differentiation than the text-only browser.

The goal for me is to improve the web experience, including minimising (a) how much data I voluntarily share and (b) advertising. I have succeeded. The use of a text-only browser in lieu of a graphical one for recreational web use is part of the solution. I also benefit from other strategies that help with (b). Attempts to advertise to me online are few and far between. It is a fruitless endeavour.

It is not a goal of mine to try to "blend in" with other web users. It appears this is a goal of some HN commenters. Alas, other web users share heaps of data voluntarily and subject themselves to large amount of advertising. There is arguably a price to pay for trying to appear "same".
Nonsense. Abstractions.are for fools. I count my electrons by hand, just like my grandfather did.
Our company is heading exactly in this direction. As we have people who don't want to or are not able to regularly work from home we provide office space. And as we have people who are either too far away from the main project team or want to work from home our leadership (more or less successfully) tries to create a working hybrid model.

But that is not without difficulties.
Is there somewhere you are writing about this, think yesterday's "Do Things, Tell People" post? This sounds very intriguing!
Of course not. Index PHP contains ALL the PHP, while CSS and Javascript are loaded into the browser for the interface.
Wait, but the case for TOR isn't to hide you are using TOR, but to blend in with the crowd of TOR users. Does my TOR browser give a different fingerprint than yours?
Care to elaborate?
The reason there is an app is so that small business owners who don't have a computer at home like you can harmonize and streamline those processes easily on the go..
It also helps non-business owners to start and set up shop online with a few key strokes for free
This is how my workplace operates now. If you have to discuss something you throw it in slack and anything real-time requires a meeting set up at a specific time. It works very well and no one just barges in and interrupts my work whenever they feel like it.
We live in a post-cultural nation. There cannot be one culture for a nation this diverse. Only the most bland, overly sanitized, vapid, consumerist culture can survive on the national level. Are you a PC or a Mac guy? Do you like Coke or Pepsi? A culture revolving around things because they have nothing to polarizing to say about how we should interpret and live our lives...a post-human wasteland.
> "no fault"

"No blame"

No fault is what we want to achieve.

Also we need to maintain liability of the managers deciding to not do certain measures, for cost reasons.

It's perfectly fine to invent MCAS, to maintain 737 "look and feel" to the pilot. It's not okay to not introduce it properly. It's not okay to only think about MCAS failure modes, symptoms and remedies after the fact. It's not okay to make the business decision (!) To not thoroughly train for potential failure.

There has to be liability at the decision making level.
Living here, the Yamanote Line opened in 1885 and with its current form from 1956 has become "The One Ring (Line)" in that it makes a ring connecting ALL of the major stations in Tokyo, and from which basically all of the mentioned lines in the article depart or go through.

For example, you want to go west you'd go to Shinjuku (station on the Yamanote line) and take the Chuo. North? Either Ikebukuro or Ueno, on the north-west/north-east of the Yamanote line. Shibuya (south-west), Shinagawa (south-east) and Tokyo (east) stations are also within this. And those are the biggest stations in Tokyo, all connected through a circle line (in both directions) with trains that are ~2 mins from each other and completely full on peak times.

In certain combinations it might be faster to go through "smaller" lines crossing Tokyo Station, like from Shibuya to Tokyo I'd get the Ginza Line because it goes straight. But this circle + rays of lines that happens thanks of Yamanote IMHO would have collapsed if there was instead only a single central station in the middle managing these movements between the major lines from outside Tokyo.
