Well said.

It seems to me those who came first, benefited the most. At the cost of everyone who follows. (if you think longer term). Eg; open land, develop it, live a grand life from the large profits. Subsequent years will have the property market determine the financial benefits from those who come and go. But then eventually, the natural loss starts to become a problem. And then everyone suffers. Everyone who is still around. This is just another kind of debt, just like "kicking the can down the road" wrt finance/national debt/money printing is.

Not only can those much further into the future not "benefit" (financially) from the ability to "cheaply" obtain undeveloped land, but they also sit with the problems due to the natural resources having been depleted (development of land does not only negatively affect tree...)

The whole concept of land ownership as it is, imho , is a problem.

I suspect sarcasm, as paying some list for a higher ranking, is cheaper than paying loads of people for a higher ranking.
For someone to say that being "single, full-time working people, especially in tech" is a matter of privilege is such a sign of our excuse-seeking times. Literally, every single one of those attributes are (or used to be before you made certain decisions) 100% within your control.

I have to wonder how people will look back at the current period. I really doubt we'll compete with the WW2 folks for the term "the greatest generation."
>They tried. Unions have a hard time stopping the supply of free labor. We have a first amendment which limits their legal means to passing laws that other unions have. We also don't have the safety dangers of plumbing or electric that give laws restricting supply some legitimacy.

I think the bigger hurdle is that the people they'd need to convince, politicians, are by nature of their profession, very well versed in public messaging and "journalist adjacent" skills and deal with journalists on the regular and therefore very likely to say "lolno" to any request for a moat of regulatory capture.

Plumbers and electricians would never have been able to get the regulatory capture they have if the people they needed sign off from had been equally well versed in their skills and exposed to dealing with them.
Well, it needs electricity. For most of history, we didn't have electricity. And, we didn't have cheap electricity until electromagnetism was understood and electric power could be made from rotating machinery. After that, there needed to be found a chemistry that would allow aluminum to be made directly, rather than from sodium or potassium reducing aluminum compounds.

The actual physical amount of energy needed to make aluminum would have been available since forever; it's the form of that energy that wasn't there.
The author of the piece seems to be taking the tweet about half the journalists under 40 living in that area pretty literally.

I don't know if the author of the tweet intended it that way (and if he was speaking figuratively I wouldn't fault him, it's just a tweet), but I don't quite buy that anyone could really estimate the number of journalists in an area drawn by someone else by eyeballing a map on Twitter. I also don't quite buy that half of the journalists under 40 live in a specific part of New York City, when Washington DC, Los Angeles and (for nerds) San Francisco also have their own share of that population.
At least as of two years ago, Honda pushed back against touchscreens dominating the center console: https://www.thedrive.com/tech/32797/long-live-buttons-hondas... But looking at the 2022 HR-V, it seems like they've given up on that design philosophy:

>The automatic climate control system offers a high-tech touch-screen interface...

https://automobiles.honda.com/hr-v#interior

I'm of the opinion that the only touchscreen that belongs in a car is a barebones non-networked Apple CarPlay / Android Auto pass-through for sound and navigation. All other controls are physical.
Why are they not doing some epic awesome global mesh or new web browser or hiring 100 paid researchers for the highest voted topics?

Shouldn't they have their own educational TV show? A bird call and plant identifying app that takes you to the article?

If they're as secure as people think they are, why are they not doing all kinds of random stuff like that?

If Wikipedia is doing fine, there's a lot of other places where a "Bring free information to the world" would benefit everyone.
It's all about the marketing. I can see it now. The title of that Nature's article should also be the name of the new Lady Gaga's world tour where everybody would be doing lots of nitrous oxide. Plus maybe drag racing as a sideshow so as to compensate the taste differences.
There is certainly the potential for an argument that they didn't do the hack, that someone else was more involved, that they were small players in this, etc. but it's highly likely they were involved in some way.
A bit hyperbolic, perhaps intentional, but I agree. It's compounded by the fact that I'm just not cut out for true adventure travel. Sorry, I need some modern conveniences. The result has been that over the years my travel preferences have become decidedly more milquetoast.
When I bought my last car (Honda Fit), I was stuck with the base model because it was the only one without a touch a screen.

I test drove the upgraded trim package. It was nicer in every way but the damn touch screen, which was a non-starter. I had to wait three months for a cheaper car to come in, instead of buying the upgraded package on the spot.

At some point a manufacturer will get wise and start selling manual controls as an upgrade.
Fine, I'll be direct. Why does it appear that SpaceX failed at risk management in the presence of readily available data to suggest delaying launch?
The "external monitor" phrasing makes me think you're using a laptop, which probably has its own microphone. Typically that microphone is accessible even when you're connected to an external monitor (even if the laptop is closed).

You may want to visit your control panel/system preferences/whatever to see how things are configured and perhaps explicitly disable/mute the laptop mic.
Journalism is going to dirt because it isn't practiced. Or to put it in a more honest way: newspapers don't want to, or cannot afford to, pay for it anymore. Easier to just repeat press releases, or report on the latest twitter nitwitting.

Marcy Wheeler is an independent journalist. She's paid over a $1k just to access court records in the last year, out of her own pocket. Investigative journalism is expensive.

You're conflating the ideology capitalism uses to justify and maintain itself with its actual material reality. It's not a surprise, considering this ideology (liberalism) is fundamentally idealist and not materialist.

Have you actually read Marx or Engels? You'll find a holistic understanding of capitalism and its roots, its upsides and its downsides.
> This is good logic.

Definitely better logic than bringing unrelated business models into the conversation. Do you take a subscription, when you enter a restaurant? Will they refuse to stop charging you after you stop calling at their fine establishment?

I expect the NY Times bullpen would be disappointed to know it has such poor defenders among the public. Surely their material helps develop better logical skills. Then again...

> So two wrongs make a right?

More like two can play the market game. Except they have access to better capital markets than most, so there is a natural power imbalance to correct.

> So when it comes time to pay their server bill, office rent, employee payroll, etc. etc. they will just forward goodwill

No, they will forward the money of their wealthy and influential old-money owners: https://web.archive.org/web/20201101011614/https://www.vanit...

In other cases, it will be the money of new-money owners, Russian oligarchs, cult abusers, etc etc. But not to their interns, of course - for them it's goodwill and love all the way, I bet.

> journalism isn't free.

Indeed it isn't - in most cases you're paying for it every day through the political choices that these privately-owned media channels support and legitimize.

> What would it do to the incomes in your field if people were able to just take your work product without paying?

It depends - when the value of my product is indeed that it gets in the hands of everyone that matters, regardless of whether they paid for it or not, there are many ways I could leverage this influence into other stuff behind the scenes. Which is indeed what most of the media-supporting barons tend to do.

One of the best tricks the devil played on people is convincing them that conservative media like the NYTimes is a bastion of progressive society.
This is a great example of how categorizing the content isn't a great solution.

If someone is sexualizing something in the workplace, the problem is the person's behavior, not the thing they are sexualizing.

The situation we find ourselves in came from setting boundaries around content instead of behavior. Our society treats nudity itself as if it were the act of sexualization, assuming that people have no control over their own behavior.
The lack of RES when browsing Reddit. But that's more about the developers' choice to discontinue support than Safari (which, as I recall, was about the lead time of getting extension approval, not the browser itself).

Overall, as a user of Safari, I appreciate that it lags behind the bleeding edge. Stability, battery life, and privacy are important things to me.
Regarding Minidisk: Back then, you could speed-transfer digital files from a computer to the recorder (I doubt that there's still support for this) and there was also a long play mode (with suitable quality for podcasts). Especially the Sony device in the image had both of these features, mind the "Net MD" series and "MDLP" logos.

So it would have been suitable in the '90s, but with manuals and supporting software lost it's a questionable effort in the 2020s.

How is this possible? Maybe I'm missing something, but the satellite parts have to go somewhere
There is a deeper reason for slowing perception of the passage of time: mindfulness. When you travel or do a unique experience you usually are fully committed to living these experiences. Practicing mindfulness has worked great for me to achieve the same results in my everyday life (granted, I have the chance to live in the countryside with a garden). From the outside I don't do much and live a very mundane life, but for me everyday is very different and time has slowed down. Like watching how birds or insects behave differently everyday, trees grow, and more generally how every microscopic bit of nature change slowly day after day to cycle through the seasons.

Travel can still be an enjoyable experience but there is nothing more meaningful I'm searching for.
What you are saying rings more true to me for domestic travel. Do you have this experience (or lack of it) for international travel as well? Even for countries that are more different from the one you live in?
Also, why can't we just have a fucking shelf or a bracket.

Ever since radios stopped being a standard rectangle, and the dashboard was filled with kevlar sacks and explosives there's nowhere to put anything down.
I think it's more secondary school textbooks which are the racket, as schools buy up the new versions of the textbooks when they come out without care for the prices. It depends on the course and subject but I find that professors often recommend books which aren't so difficult to get cheaply or second hand.

I think high prices for textbooks are fair (although compared to the field Pearson et al seem to have extortionate prices), they contain high-value knowledge. I think it's more ridiculous that universities don't provide students with textbook copies, given the incredible cost of degrees.
The real reason is to stimulate the national electrification capability by increasing the demand. This article is just typical marketing.

Like I said, I'm not paying for bla bla entertainment. Whether that means I read a free news site instead, or I circumvent your paywall, it's the same to you because I'm not paying. That's the same reason piracy doesn't cost publishers anything, most people weren't in commerce in the first place.
I don't have to pay anything to publish code I wrote. Peer review only happens in Linux distributions.
Please stop with the straw man shit. I do trust lived experience of people that have an ADHD diagnosis. Why would you think otherwise? I do trust people with medical expertise. I do at least have a little experience with people that have ADHD diagnosed so I know some things about it but I never claimed I was an expert. I explicitly wrote that I was not a doctor.

Fuck you too, though.

I know the argument against term limits is that it puts power into shodow structures of the government, but man oh man regardless of what side you are on I think that everyone has been in power too long.
From what I've heard, another part of why the government struggles to get good IT workers is that the processes for getting anything done are Kafkaesque, even compared to large enterprise roles.

There are other things governments could do though.

Coming from a US perspective, the biggest one would be to pass some kind of law that employment contracts can't prevent you moonlighting for the government. I'd probably be willing to pick up some contract work to do on the cheap, but I can't because of my employment contract.

Another is that the government already has access to a lot of things I don't, and I'd be willing to trade my time for access to some of those things. Free flights on army cargo planes would be a great perk. I would totally do some work if they'd let me drive a tank for like 30 minutes and fire the cannon down the range a couple times. They probably have access to HPC clusters that would tempt some (I don't have the skills to have the interest, but I'm sure many do).

Government pensions are another option, although they'd have to require less than 40 hours a week of work to qualify. It might end up being more expensive than just paying more.

Tax breaks are another option. Someone would have to figure up the demand curve, but a 10% cut to my effective tax rate would be tempting depending on the amount of work required.

Free education would be another option if they could offer it for part time work.

I don't feel that the government has gotten particularly creative in trying to attract talent. The pay is bad, the job is a bureaucratic nightmare, and the perks kind of suck other than the pension.

The downside is that a lot of those are likely to piss off the rest of the government employees.

Because Intel is / will no longer be a x86 / Chip company only anymore. They are pivoting to Foundry. Just like Andrew Grove pivoted Intel from DRAM to microprocessor.

I expect them to be at least $400bn to $600bn market cap by the end of 2030. Which is 2x or 3x of today's price.

Not exactly super high growth, but if you are a money manager with too much cash ( which is often the case today ) it is not a bad investment.

Yes, I read the entire post in detail. He clearly mentions that there’s significantly increased risk of parkinson’s with long term medication use.

I don’t believe anything blindly without reading both sides of the argument. Don’t know about HN crowd, but I don’t want to commit to lifetime of stimulant medication without researching the potential side effects first.

STEM covers a lot of ground. Undergraduate biology and mathematics degrees probably don't confer any great employment advantage other than as a generic degree that demonstrates you have some facility with technical stuff--which isn't necessarily that much better than an English-adjacent degree depending upon what you want to do.

I don't think reading cryptocurrency jokes posted on HN is the best way to expose yourself to other cultures.
Is it attacking people like Elon Musk to point out that he wants others to not be able to benefit from the same sorts of government assistance his companies have benefited from or is it simply pointing out he isn't being consistent?
This type of shit happens all the time unfortunately. The perpetual news cycle is what's to blame.
You missed Match. Peloton is a streaming dating service.
LTE is not required. I use my non-cellular Apple Watch on runs and listen to either music or audiobooks. You sync your Apple Music music to the watch via the iPhone's Watch app. Audiobooks are similar, but since most of mine were from Audible I use their app to sync to the watch.
Aren't we at the point where most large scale infrastructure projects require huge outlays? Unless geothermal is an order of magnitude more expensive per MW or GWH than say nuclear, is it a point against it?

I want to follow up on all the Mastodon remarks here to also consider trying Pleroma. It's also ActivityPub but much lighter and with more features!
I don't know the technical details of how it's encoded, but digital radio stations can embed metadata in their signal that the car radio can display. That includes text, like the station name, and also images, like a logo, that's usually shown next to the station name. I believe it's part of HD Radio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_Radio.
> This seems to be only about writing jobs. I don't think of those as "high status" apart from the wages, but maybe I'm alone here.

You and I don't think of them as high status. However there is a proportion of people that do pay attention to writers, these maybe TV, films, media, politicians that are all within the "Cathedral". You see this a lot of Twitter. Politicians pay a lot of attention to Twitter and tbh I doubt many normal people ever pay attention to what people see on twitter.

Those writing jobs are seen as high status because you can be influencing on "important" things. If you ever watch clips of corporate news talking point shows they end up inviting a lot of the same people on. Many of these are writers for smaller publications that are safe enough i.e. inside the Overton window to present "balance" or be presented as "experts". Simply being on TV for a few minutes is seen as a big deal (especially to older people 50+).
This reminds me of one of the most epic episodes of Money Heist where $character, shortly before dying, says something that resonated a lot with me:

> Mucha gente cree que en la vida solo hay un gran amor, lo que no saben es que se pueden vivir varias vidas. […] Hoy acaba algo pero es el día de tu siguiente vida. Tienes que vivir muchas vidas […], muchas...

(English translation: https://www.deepl.com/translator#es/en/Mucha%20gente%20cree%.... )

I like to think that this can be applied not only to love (like here) but also to switching jobs, careers, places, … anything really that causes a big change (a diff, as you say) in life.
This article is extremely on pointe with respect to insight... But missed the mark to the Northeast by a few hundred miles.

Replace "New York" with "DC" and "writer/conspirist" with "legislative aid/lobbyist" and you begin to comprehend the true scale of this horror. Reporters are relatively insignificant by comparison.
Please note, my original comment was simply correcting the notion that JS is popular because it was especially well suited for working on the web. I see projects like Fengari[1] and would _love_ to use something like that but I recognize I can't impose an extra 300kb on end users just because I want to write in a more pleasant language to develop. I accept that JS is what we have, but I won't pretend like JS was the cream that rose to the top.

Yeah, like I haven’t heard these things. For someone who’s diagnosed and asking questions to understand the disorder better, it seems to me there’s a lot of thin skinned people on HN.
My last internship was working on a textbook publishing tool. The whole reason I took the job is that it allowed authors and small teams to create beautiful books, publish them independently, and push updates rather than sell new editions. It did not take long for the big publishers that were partnered to cut off independent publisher access and continue rereleasing small revisions as new editions that had to be purchased at full price. * Some speculation, but this was the optics.
Burned up on entry, rendered down to heat, gas, and ash. Debris would usually be considered chunks of the original, so ash doesn't count.

In this context it also means none of that is left in orbit either, which may be the more significant advantage of their procedures.
