Agreed 100%. The fed has been trying to create inflation for 30 years and has not been able to do so. Its about time to admit that monetary policy doesn't work the way it supposed to according to the Monetarist School. But, I will take it a step further, by saying this: raising interest rates can perhaps can have an inflationary effect. How is that ? Well the federal government is a net payer of interest. Interest income flowing into the private sector from the government goes up when rates go up. So maybe the fed is actually stepping on the gas pedal rather than on the brakes when they raise rates.

This is why we call them dismal scientists.
Funny. Industry? Just curious.
No, just read here:

I think their benchmark is a 100% business/first class ride with every seat having business/first class prices. The idea being they can beat that for long distance. Also time is money arguments as well. As most airlines actually make the majority of their money on business/first class seats for long distance international flights, which is used to subsidize the economy seats. This starts to make long distance flights uneconomic for airlines versus Starship.
Wow I haven't heard Jay Freeman's name in the news since the old iPhone jailbreaking days. Glad to see he is still at it.
Wow that takes me back. I was the backend tech lead for menupages after it got acquired by NYMag. I built that site!
Scientists have built a school of robotic fish powered by human heart cells
Flying from Los Angeles is $1000 round trip, so $500 one way, which is $250k on a 500 passenger airliner. If Starship can carry 1000 people for $1000k, it would be twice the cost per passenger.
> if we could just start thinking in terms of stuff rather than money

Well, there are good reasons for thinking in terms of money instead of stuff for ordinary everyday affairs. It's a lot easier to keep track mentally of transactions if there is a common unit of value to assign to lots of different kinds of stuff.

The issue isn't money in itself but the supply of money, and who gets to control it. Ideally the money supply would be fixed by something that nobody could manipulate. But no society in history has been able to actually achieve that ideal.
We did that once, it was a kids pool.. we thought it would be great for our large dog to lounge in during the summer. When we got it though, it was literally about 9 inches in diameter. It was a like a pool for GI Joe dolls.
My mother became an accountant by being a secretary (administrative assistant) first. Her path went from secretary -> doing data entry -> employer paying for her to take accounting classes at night -> becoming a certified accountant. I know many other similar stories.

> The entry level job for being a CEO

Very few people are CEOs, it's not relevant when talking about jobs that uneducated people can do with potential upwards mobility

> attorney

A female assistant going from secretary -> paralegal -> attorney is definitely a thing.

> software developer

Is a rather specialised job in the grand scheme of things.

The point is, there IS NO entry level white collar work available to uneducated males. And all white collar work offers potential socioeconomic mobility.
The target of these laws is not kitchen knives. Pocketknives (manual blade, less than 3") of most kinds are legal.[1, see exceptions] Bans of this kind are fairly common (for instance, in California, there is a ban on concealed carry of fixed-blade knives; in Los Angeles, the ban extends to openly carrying a "knife or dagger" defined as "any knife having a blade of three inches or more in length".[2] These laws strike me as very reasonable.

However, content creation is not free, even the most well intentioned sites may need ads to keep the lights on. Alternative would be for authors to keep it behind paywall like substack or something
The statistics worked for me too, just the streak was reset.
Useful metric!

"Does this job provide the funds for my hobby?"

Some time ago, I tested all RSS / aggregators, but I couldn't find any suited for me.
They were ugly (most RSS clients) or with defined sources (without ability to add my own), so useless to me.
That’s a big reason why 1Password recommends using native clients, not the Web interface. Page 68 of https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p... covers that in detail, but the gist is “Use (code-signed) native clients as much as possible.”
For as controversial and catastrophically dangerous nuclear power has been over its history, it still shows signs of being one of the best power sources out there. There is plenty of opportunity for better designs, the introduction of thorium reactors vs uranium. This week MIT announced a major breakthrough in fission technology. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-60312633

In an ever growing power hungry world, nuclear shows the best promise in moving the world to a reliable power source that isn't reliant on geo-politically sensitive fossil fuels and eliminates greenhouse gas issues dramatically.

I'll add that wind and solar get a lot of hype, but being cyclic and weather dependent doesn't make it suitable as primary wide-spread grid power source.

If this were polarized, it would mean that no senator could risk offending their base by opposing it. They wouldn't budge in the face of popular outrage.

Since it's bipartisan, it means neither party's base badly wants it to pass (which we would already suspect from our own personal experiences).

My father played Battlezone and Red Barron. They had realistic controls and vector drawn images. It was fun.
ai is a complex number and an imaginary, but not all complex numbers are imaginary numbers (like square/rectangle). a+bi is a complex number, but not an imaginary number. And a is a complex number and a real number. Which is the problem with trying to reduce it this way, you lose the ability to distinguish (by name) the two components of a complex number. What are the two parts of a complex number called if we drop real and imaginary?
The world Strong Towns wants is emotionally unsustainable. Maybe there are people who can handle it, but I would go insane in the dense cities it suggests.

Let the people who like dense towns live there, and stop trying to tell the rest of the people how to live.

Strong Towns also tries to creates cities where no one from the outside ever comes in, since there's no way of getting there (no parking, not enough roads).

People in large cities also like to "get away" during the summer - but there will be nowhere to go in his world.
Do these apps do any sort of aggregation? Like if 10 households in one neighborhood order from 10 restaurants which are clustered around downtown, will the app just send one delivery driver around to fulfill all the requests?

That would seem to be useful. If they are just doing single transactions, one at a time, then it smells to me like the main value they provide is circumvention of local labor laws...
Yes. What you describe is where I started out and I watched it devolve over the last 15 or so years (why I decided to take a swing at building Joystick—it was getting too ridiculous to keep entertaining). I think so many started out in the chaos that they don’t know what the “before time” was like and don’t have perspective on how complex it’s gotten (it’s just normal to them).
Well on the same site ethernodes.org, the majority of Ethereum nodes are running on AWS at 45% [0]. Due to this announcement from AWS [1], it is going to become even more centralized.

So the claim of 'extremely decentralized network' is somewhat of a myth and a falsehood.

Law enforcement is mostly concerned about corporate servers rather than home ones. E2E encryption puts those servers out of their control, hence the pushback.

Pretty much all of my "side project" stuff falls into this category in a sense (the sense where "success" means something about "making money").

Some of these things I work on with the hope of making money off of them someday, while others I never really had any financial interest in to begin with. But in either case, I really look at the true value of the projects as being the lessons I learn and the knowledge I gain from working on them.

In the end, I figure I learn something from everything I work on, so in the sense that learning is the real goal, all of my projects are ultimately a success to some extent. It's only a question of degree.

First, there's a difference between bringing someone onboard the day after incorporation and the timeline I mentioned. Second, what are you bringing your friend onboard for? Were you collaborating on this idea with them before you incorporated? Or did you bring them on because you realized you needed more money (eg, Musk)?

Early investor is what he was, along with chairman, then CEO, but it's disingenuous to call him a founder. The settlement you referenced is really just dick swinging.
My cats use reflections to spy on and stalk each other, which seems to me a way more significant sign of intelligence than looking at themselves.
I don't know what the third one entails, or whether a distributed ledger actually enables it without also having a centralized legal entity, but the other two seem like they already exist without a distributed ledger.

The limited edition art is really just tracking receipts - you can do that over email if you want and it really doesn't have to be public. Non digital art does fine with private receipt tracking. You can also have a dedicated database that charges art owners a maintenance fee, and tracks who the current owner of each art piece. Basically free tier AWS.

For 2) forever art already existed without any ledger. People store copies of pictures they like because they feel like it. Not being on a ledger doesn't mean Nyan cat will disappear. The ledger might attempt to guarantee that unpopular works stay available, but I don't think you can guarantee that any particular ledger will continue to be active "forever".

They could do a hard fork that prunes out the unpopular art to save on space, and migrate everyone to that one, leaving the old one unhosted. Long term, you're not going to force people to keep spending resources to maintain stuff that nobody cares about
I like the prompt. Something I started a few years ago was writing about unintended consequences: https://unintendedconsequenc.es/
I was best at this when I truly didn't care about success. I took a diversion into trying to intentionally make it successful and now am back to not caring if it succeeds. But it's a win just because I've learned so much working on it. It also brought me to lots of people I never would have met otherwise.
I've been reading about this same omniscience-lust of our corrupt republican representative democracy since the early '90s. I had thought that it simply sought to become more subtle, more refined over time. However, like any patzer, it is merely satisfied to give check where it appears.

Are we drawn in bitter impasse, or is there some intervening move to which we can avail ourselves?

The best I can muster (other than amassing a Bezos fortune and simply buying every shyster for sale) is to buy every elected shyster for sale (i.e. some rough approximation of five nine's worth of elected officials). My local newspaper reported on a school bus driver who was shot in the head, for which there is a go-fund-me effort. Every such mutual aid stop-gap is an indictment of our benighted society.

Maybe Hobbes[1] had it right, but then again, waiting for a messiah is tantamount to resigning.

He chortled something on the order of "bullshit" or "humbug" and turned to the prior page: and so on and so forth to the first page where he could find no quarrel. The story is surely bullshit itself, but smells none-the-less so sweet.

Sure, at the time, the authors of battlezone wouldn't have been aware, since it predated BZFlag (and SGI) by 15 years. As did this article, written when battlezone was still current.

IEEE has had this bad habit of recently republishing some old era articles as if they were current. I find it nostalgic but also disconcerting.

My interpretation then is

“I really love rust. I’ve picked up on the fact it’s cool to shout about rust from the rooftops. I thought I’d do a tropish rip on another language tribe to strengthen ours.”

Which sadly meant I didn’t put as much effort into really reading about rust if the author had instead titled it as

“My experience and observation implementing and executing advent of code in rust, plus a pointlessly contrived timing comparison for giggles.”

The total benefits chart they provide is more accurate than just looking at cash compensation.

Non-monetary compensation, like health insurance, still costs the business a lot of money.

First-class messaging implies "encapsulation". A message can not directly modify its target. Its target must INTERPRET the message somehow and then decide what to do about it. A message can not modify its target. Only the recipient who receives the message can access its own data, which means its data is "encapsulated".

It is as if you sent me a letter by "first class mail". Great I can read your letter. But your letter can not directly alter the arrangement of furniture in my house. Only I can do that. And perhaps when I read your letter I decide to take such action. Or maybe I decide not to.
Looking for an IT solution suggestion: multiple users documents management
Hello. I am new to IT. Need your help find a solution: My company has multiple workers scanning documents into their own PCs (not on LAN).

Any software solution suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.

Equality isn't a central tenet of Christianity (for some sects, probably it is), and even if it were, many Christian socities have certainly not practiced that. Christian societies have tendencies to be militaristic and exploitative. I do think that is in part driven by their religion, to convert others.

You are are oversimplifying, cherrypicking, or getting the facts wrong.

Of course it is. It's a cynical power play. That's what happens when we spurn universal ideals like freedom of speech, hence "the end justifies the means". My opponents are so harmful, such a threat, that anything must be done, and nothing, including principles, should stand in the way.

Ask HN: "Best" cross-platform disk encryption software to use?

What software that's cross-platform (Linux + MacOS at least) and allows encrypting mount-able volumes/images (not necessarily full-disk encryption, more for very important documents like keys, etc), and possibly putting them in the cloud (for backup, and maybe on Dropbox) would people recommend these days?

VeraCrypt seems popular on the web, but searching HN for past threads about it shows (even despite previous audits) people aren't completely convinced by it.

If I was Linux-only, I could likely use dm-crypt, but I would like multi-platform support for long-term confidence and convenience, and it's not really clear what other choices I have.

> He also has a deep understanding of how important government assistance was to getting SpaceX where it is now but that hasn't stopped him from trying to stop others from benefiting from the same.

That is false. The only companies he has objected to are ULA which was getting a 1 billion dollar a year retainer (effectively a subsidy) from the US government, which is rightfully bad, and Blue Origin which basically wanted NASA to bankroll it's entire development program with little of their own money spent. SpaceX spends a lot of it's own money on things and then is thankful for the little bit on top that NASA has provided to them for portions of development. In no case that I can remember has SpaceX investment on a project been less than 50%, and it is often 100% but with a guaranteed government customer.
This the most wholesome thing I've seen so far this year!
