It's 50-50 for me. Half the restaurants tell me to just order through Doordash/UberEats/etc. Clearly they are busy in the restaurant and don't have time to translate my verbal commands into some terminal.

Ok, so full disclosure -- Austrian monetary theory makes sense to me in a way that no other form of macroeconomic theory has since. I'm open to being convinced that monetary inflation is a necessary or good thing, but I haven't yet.

Most of the arguments I've heard seem to take the form of -- we've been doing this thing (increasing the money supply) and if we stop, everyone who has debt is suddenly going to be in a lot of pain. I get that, and I agree, it makes sense.

Maybe you or someone can help me out here -- what I don't get is why we need to keep increasing the supply of money in the first place. Forgetting the situation that we're in at this point (where we don't want to stop increasing the money supply), what bad thing would happen if we had said from the start: here's the number of dollars, that's it? If we have more people, those dollars will get more valuable, because more people will want dollars. If we have more goods, those dollars will get more valuable, because they'll be scarcer relative to the goods.

I've heard and understand the argument that people don't like having their salaries cut, and that's something that would have to happen sometimes if money kept getting more valuable. But I don't see how that's really a big issue. Companies that paid their employees too much, and ran out of profits, would simply go out of business, no? The employees would then look for jobs elsewhere, and the market would be paying a bit lower. After a certain amount of time, I expect business owners and employees would get used to the reverse of the current situation -- you get a pay cut every year, unless you're increasing your value to the company, in which case you keep the same salary (or maybe get a small raise). It feels like the whole sticky wages argument is kind of based on claiming that the average citizen is like a child that thinks that water in a taller, thinner glass is more, which, while I'm sure is true for a few folks out there, doesn't seem to me like a good enough reason to do something as drastic as deciding that we need to continuously increase the money supply. People very clearly understand that with inflation, you may get a raise and still be poorer.

If "sticky wages" were the only consideration, maybe it would make sense to increase the money supply, sure. But I think the Austrian economists have a good argument that doing so adds an external factor into economic calculation that makes planning for the future harder -- you now not only have to try to predict how the prices of goods and services and so on will change due to supply and demand, you also have to factor into your prediction any distortions due to the central bank's changing monetary policy. Keeping the money supply static turns one big variable into a constant.
I'm a non-techie so my opinion is automatically discounted...but I'll tell you what I truly think..I think it's so hated because it solves so many problems for the folks who really needed those problems solved and who were being ignored.

Techies hate poor people, people who don't look or think like they do and people who really need the tech to work and not just be some fancy, sounding gobbley-gook to impress specialty bankers (ie: VCs). Starving Afghanis who need money to buy food don't care what "tech stack" it's built on or what College you went to...they need to buy food. Africans don't care if "Timmy" reminds the lead VC of himself during his college years, they need a seamless, cheap way to transfer money across vast distances. Africa-Americans don't care whether or not you knew them at the Country Club, they need a way to store their savings without being accused of theft, be insulted at banks or murdered in the street.

Additionally, they hate it because the Japanese coder who gifted the World with Bitcoin proved he's a better coder than they are by orders of magnitude. Most want to say "it's not very interesting, it's boring etc." But the World and the real use cases, which are not NFT or gaming related, like Ripple, Corda R3, and
VeChain say otherwise and drive them mad because the two week coding bootcamps which were enough to help them game the system and get vastly overpaid...isn't enough to buy vision or foresight and you need both in order to see just how far Crypto and the Blockchain will take us.

I am glad things got straightened out. OP is one of the good guys. Very intriguing posts on Raspberry Pi over the years.
The breathless fanboyism in this piece really hurts it, and made me unable to read through to the end.

If this were written 10 years ago, when MOOCs were the poster child for "technology will solve everything including thoroughly non-technology-centric human problems", it might be forgivable. Right now, this is kinda like evangelizing Zuckerberg's "Metaverse", in a 100% serious vein. If it were written a different way, I might have mistaken it for satire.

With no discussion of prior failures in Education Technology, with not even a nod to the challenges that permeate any meaningful progress in this space, the writing came across like it was a "39 minute write", not a "39 minute read".

For those interested in a more balanced and nuanced take, I urge you to skim some posts from Kentaro Toyama's blog:

One of the benefits to running a bridge rather than a regular relay is that unlike running a regular relay, running a bridge only benefits the good actors. All that a bridge does is hides from your local network the fact that you're using Tor, so bad actors have nothing to gain by using bridges rather than just connecting to Tor normally.

> The react paradigm is FP.

https://reactjs.org/ homepage writes "Build encapsulated components that manage their own state" That's a textbook definition of OOP.
I mean, like I said most people only have access to expensive (but readily given) credit, because they have nothing to secure a loan against. Low central interest rates make the risk/reward of handing out high interest credit cards to high risk customers slanted towards the reward, as we saw in 2008. Some of that got clamped down on, obviously, but the basic incentives haven't really changed.

I think the immediate issue for this question is the same as it's ever been, but made worse by the growth of asset value. For most of the 20th century, since "everyone should be able to buy a home" became a government meme, the way out of that trap was to leverage yourself into asset ownership with a mortgage.

Now that's becoming increasingly out of reach to people in an economy largely built on service jobs that pay poorly on one side, and an asset bubble that they can't pop without blowing up the economy on the other.

So imo it's some combination of "people have no idea how to use it" and "even if they do it may not be possible for them to pull it off unless the stars align now."
The settlement just said that they could call themselves founders. Equally, a settlement could've also been reached that said that everyone involved could call themselves "buttholes".

What doesn't change regardless of that settlement is the fact that Musk didn't actually found (or "start" if folk wanna get all nitpicky bEcAuSe SeTtLeMeNt SaYs So) the company, invested a year after it was founded, and didn't become CEO for another four years.
Domain knowledge is very important. In the real world however by the time you finish this type of process the competition will have had the product out already. It may not be that perfect castle in the sky but it will work and if you have revenue you will have time and means to improve.
> how have major journalistic networks not written about this bill in the worst possible light?

I was originally going to ponder if it was because today's generation of journalists aren't privacy preserving, freedom of speech maximalists. While there are some that seek to limit freedoms as long as their "side" is on top, I don't think that's it.

The last five years of political discourse has worn us down. We're tired of the back and forth, constant everyday existential crises of democracy. If every day the world is falling apart, then something like this just looks like business as usual.

We're tired. Frankly we wasted energy on stupid things and lost sight of the war. And now they get to ram this horrible, freedom rotting legislation through.

The difference in price between two Chipotle dishes, a barbacoa bowl and a sofritas burrito, that I priced a couple days ago through a delivery service that shall not be named and Chipotle's own website was almost 8 dollars BEFORE delivery charges. These companies are gouging the crap out of consumers and tacking fees on top of that.

There's a market there for a takeout-only site that charges a flat fee per order.
>> eventually legally declassified and discussed openly

> That's the idea, and by and large the system functions as intended.

What makes you say it largely functions as intended? It sometimes functions, but that is different. Also, we don't know what we're missing.
You don't understand. This is not what FP programmers are arguing about.

What FP programmers are arguing about is that all code becomes shit if you do OOP. It doesn't matter how good you are.

They argue that if you do FP your code is much less likely (note the word likely) to be shit.

The analogy to carpentry or craftsmanship is bad. Programming is about managing complexity to a degree no one can fully hold in their head or understand. You can't just be a "master" craftsman and write an entire OS with zero technical debt.

The argument here is that if you use FP over OOP your code will have magnitudes less technical debt.
I like my job. I mean, it's not necessarily my _passion_, but I care about the cause and believe I contribute directly and significantly to it. And while there is a lot of plumbing to do, I also have freedom to explore news ideas and learn new things.

But "anything I do for work" was my first thought when I saw this post.

What it comes down to is that there's only so much I can do to help my work's projects succeed. There's just too much out of my control. Decisions have already been made; contracts are already being signed; the clients believe they've done enough testing.

I can pick up the slack, go above and beyond, and do other people's job. But the project can still fail to get user buy-in, fail to make any notable impact, fail to make or save money, or just outright fail for reasons I can do nothing about.

That doesn't mean I don't try. I just don't care if these projects succeed. If we did what we could and learned things we can carry forward, I'm satisfied.
I found Simon Kuznets multi-volume piece on economics (including cycles) really interesting ~35 years ago. Many U.S. university libraries have a copy if/when You want to peruse it - it greatly expanded my thinking about those systems regardless if I am a "True Believer" or not.

Those volumes can be pretty challenging at times, but extremely in-depth. Fascinating intro to cyclic theories of economics for a person who tires of business/econ literature not having an engineering perspective (if it's correct or not, at least it's defended - make up your own perspective on the material presented).

FWIW, a minor comment by Paul Hawken, writing in CoEvolution Quarterly (Best Periodical Ever in my opinion), is what alerted me to Kuznets.

Edit: Adding that Kuznets is a major influence on Austrian economics, and has influenced U.S. economics at high levels.

The other reactors at Chernobyl continued to operate for years after the incident at reactor 4. The last reactor there closed in 2000, and only as a result of being strongly incentivized by the international community. All the RBMK reactors were retrofitted with additional safeties after the incident. They're not really a risk.
This is unrelated on so many levels but I was today years old when I learned that it wasn't Rod Stewart that sung "Betty Davis Eyes"

Correct. Complains against OOP is like complaining a hammer not suitable for a task which you should have picked up a wrench in the first place.
Absolutely correct. Its why there is no correlation to inflation in the monetary aggregates. M1,M2,etc.

Sure, the legitimate client doesn't do that. But unless you do a full audit of 1Password's JavaScript every time you visit it to log in, an attacker who breaches their servers could switch out the legitimate client for an identical-looking malicious one that does do that.
With regards to the MOOCs prediction, it is true that most education has switched online

The Apple policy on your device ratting you out is abominable and anyone telling you otherwise is trying to sell you a brand.

They discuss the importance of engagement, something CS50 gets right - so how does that have anything to do with short-form content? I think the beauty of things like CS50 is the engagement, but also the longer format of it. A lot of shit just can’t be broken down into a tweet or a 10-second video. I wouldn’t call anything that I’ve seen from TikTok “engaging” - the videos are over before my attention span has time to decide whether to focus on it or not
>The core problem is the blurring of the lines between a framework and the underlying technologies of the web (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript).

I believe the core problem is that we've switched from a static document model to a dynamic application model, yet kept at the center of our focus the idioms and technologies meant for the former.
Take any Object-Oriented language. Then modify its definition so that any class can have just a single method (as opposed to any number of methods).

You now have a new language which you could call a procedural- or functional language based on the set of features that were present in the language you started from. But it is no longer an Object-Oriented language.

To make it more concrete start with Java compiler but modify it so it only allows max one method per class.

You now have NOOP-Java. (Non Object-Oriented Java).

Are you happy? Is this NOOP-Java somehow better than the plain old Java? If not really then removing the OOP-ness did not really help did it?. OOP is good. You want to keep OOP, not remove it.

OOP lets you have multiple functions associated with a data-structure the details of which you hide behind those functions (a.k.a. methods). I think THAT is the essence of OOP. You can have multiple functions attached to the same data-structure and only those specific functions can read and write that data-structure.

Isn't that something that really is so useful that getting rid of that feature, getting rid of "OOPness", would be crazy?
But, if words, hate and disinformation cause what we refer to as harm, don't the ends justify the means?

The collective shout from the new generations is a resounding Yes.

Sadly it's as historically uninformed as it is privileged to believe that words do harm.

I have around 10 airtags installed in various places. The amount of peace and anxiety relief it brings me is priceless.

And none of these problems are airtag specific. You can buy fairly accurate GPS trackers for about $30 that don't even have the android scan feature.
It doesn't. In fact, to the contrary, these forms of communication don't lend themselves to certain types of topics and deeper thinking critical for education (read Neil Postman's Amusing ourselves to death for a great exposition). True, they have an important place in education and I'm excited for the changes they can bring, but they are only a small piece of what the future of education will look like.
Understandably so because I'm not sure Twitter wants their platform to end up looking like MySpace. Furthermore, these visual customizations are very hard to translate to the plethora of other clients users use to consume Twitter.

I think Twitter has massive opportunity though with their power users. Many of them are definitely willing to spend $100+/mo just based on the value they get out of it alone if they can get access to power user analytics, insights, data, or better tools to engage with their audience.

Assuming 1% of their users are power users, that's around 3M users with a market opportunity exceeding $3B annually.
It's a little sad that it takes a HN post to get the right visibility for these issues to get resolved. Maybe they need a better issue reporting tool.

Recruiters are the fastest way to build top of funnel. Work with recruiters to screen for you on the basics. A lot of recruiters have a deserved bad reputation but not all of them. Ideally find a good retainer based recruiter, they aren’t cheap but if you are hiring multiple roles it is far cheaper.

Other hints. Streamline your process, but don’t follow big tech hiring strategies. It is moronic for a small startup to act like Netflix or Meta or Google. Most startups lose good candidates because of the process being poor or disrespectful of the candidates time.

I run a simple process and can get candidates through in a matter of 2-3 days usually, assuming they can make the time too. Recent example, first call on a Thursday, tech interviews on Friday and offer on Monday. That’s how you compete against the tough market conditions and larger startups who can pay more. And even then it isn’t perfect, we lost that candidate cause he had offers higher then we felt we could pay for the match. Good for him, but his feedback was very positive to the recruiter about us and the process.

As I am interviewing for remote jobs, while I am in a remote job, I have been considering it. But it really does not seem worth the potentional issues and complexities. The money would be nice, but it also doesn't feel like it would help me grow as a person in my career. Instead, being a good freelancer or consultant to multiple clients would likely achieve the same, with better long term prospects.
A typical example is a chat application served over HTTPS: your communication with the server is encrypted, but the messages sent between you and your friends are passed through the server in the clear (through databases, logging, caching layers, etc.).
