Between my wife and I there is no stress about money.

Emotional positives are stronger than the negatives. I think my work is meaningful. The people are nice.

I learn things I can't learn at work through doing side projects; interestingly there is a lot of synergy in that my side projects have taught me to be stronger at my weakest areas at work (visual aspects of UI) at my own pace.
For that reason I trust 1Password in the non-SAAS version. The password vault is stored locally and then snchronized between devices via iCloud. So there is no single point. First there needs to be an exploit for iCloud and second to the 1Password vault. The benefit of this is, the vault is a simple website by itself that can be loaded into any webbrowser without the app.
You're classing essentially nonprofit Linux community efforts as "3rd party" then you're comparing it to one of the flagship products of one of the largest tech companies in the world. Are you even listening to yourself? This is absurd.
Japan's population has also been flat since 1993. It's quite a different situation. Many countries have struggled to maintain sufficient new housing development to keep up with rising population numbers.
I'm still a big fan of making all elected officials wear NASCAR inspired suits with the patches of all of their corporate sponsors so we know who's actually talking when the elected person's mouth moves.

Publicly traded banks have an obligation to their shareholders to make money. Nobody wants to be the first to abandon a profit center. A classic multipolar coordination trap that, theoretically, governments are here to fix.
I've tried AndiSearch over the last several days since seeing it mentioned in an HN discussion. I've tried this search engine with a great variety of search terms, technical, bland, obscure, common and it performs better than DDG and as well or better than Google. As a plus bonus, there is an option to return search results in HN formatting, which I find incredibly easy to parse.

Note: This was an unsolicited post. I am just really impressed with this engine.

Journalists who deal in sensitive material should not trust any of that to any third parties to the greatest extent possible. If I were Chinese intel or the FBI, otter would be one of the richest targets imaginable for some of the most prized information on earth, i.e. high-value intel targets spilling secrets in "full-confidence" and divulging information they might never reveal even in court. otter also transcribes medical/psych convos and legal discussions as well, bringing the sum total of what they could "know" about any human, willing or not, to scary levels.

Journalists who are casual or reckless with this kind of data shouldn't be in the business, and companies that don't make these kinds of risks apparent to their user base, or go to lengths to disguise a clear conflict of interest as bad support should not be in that business either.

I understand what you're saying. But I don't understand why the tax needs to be based on value minus mortgage balance to be considered a wealth tax. You get use of the entire asset even if you still owe the bank money. And the tax goes up (or down) with the assessed value of the property.
I've had great success doing transcription on-prem with Speechmatics: https://www.speechmatics.com They offer both a VM and a Docker image that you can run behind your firewall, and even license offline if you really need to. I use it for generating closed captions of videos, but you could build a transcription tool out of it as well. Their engine's accuracy is the best I've found out there, too, which is a nice bonus.

You don't need to trust them. I use "pass" (https://www.passwordstore.org), a simple CLI password manager that operates using a GPG key you control (which I have on a Yubikey). Then, you can upload the GPG-encrypted password store wherever your want in order to sync-up your passwords.
> I think the real answer is even simpler: I think dang (or whoever is on duty that day) asks themselves "is this topic going to lead to an interesting conversation, or will it devolve into a shitshow?" Shitshows generally get canned, no matter the subject. It's benign dictatorship at work.

You're not wrong, I suspect....but as always, I am fascinated by how Dang and most people here seem to have utterly no curiosity about why the big brains at HN News re unable to engage in conversation about ~politics without it melting down into chaos like you'd find on most any other forum.

We often have these "serious" discussions about the dangers of climate change, fake news, etc, how it's super duper important that humanity gets its shit together, but is humans being able to communicate with each other in a skillful manner about difficult topics not plausibly a prerequisite for accomplishing these things that we talk about humanity "must" do? And if we not only can't do it, but refuse to even consider discussing the matter, then what shall become of the world?

I have been sternly warned about this message before, which I believe illustrates the validity of my point.

The surviving craftsman homes, which weren’t average for the time time due to survivorship bias, are more likely to be built in higher density walkable environments closer to urban cores. Real estate in those areas is more valuable in general.

The average D.R. Horton home is built further out on lower density, less valuable land.

There’s also an element of scarcity here. There’s a subset of people who find older homes appealing specifically because they are older. The supply of older homes can’t increase, but the supply of D.R. Horton homes can and does.

A PayPal hire who got $200K in RSUs last year now has $80K
Basically an exclusive agreement like that would (I think) mean that for a rental agency R, and cable companies A and B, the rental agency could agree that only either A or B would be able to provide marketing materials (for example, pamphlets, e-mail mailing list offers, coupons or deals) to tenants of R properties. The competitor would not be allowed -- according to the deal terms -- to provide those to the same tenants.

Those kind of agreements are, in some ways, only slightly less pernicious than the exclusive revenue-sharing agreements mentioned in the article that the vote does intend to ban (where R could receive a cut of the ongoing customer payments from the cable company that they enter a deal with).

And because it's 2022, almost all of the communications provided by the cable companies in either of the revenue/marketing situations above would be carefully crafted so as to (try to) avoid arousing the suspicions of consumers that they've been entered in a non-competitive environment to begin with.
Once upon a time Philips was a world renowned brand in electronics, extremely innovative and their gear was top notch. How it all went to hell I still don't fully understand, but in the late 80's or so their quality started going downhill and they seemed to make one bad move after another.

This stuff is from various eras but not all of the designs are theirs (though all the gear prior to and including the 'spendex 50' was in house design work.
I'm so confused here. You asked for a breakdown of what technologies needed to be developed (invested in) and I gave you the exact breakdown.

You doubt that investment wouldn't accelerate the development of those areas? So HTS discoveries and mass production fall out of the sky? No, they take money. Given money they, demonstrably, are developed.

HTS is the sexy success story because it has been critical path, but other areas of engineering research have been known and the critical path for development has not changed in 50 years.

Also, PPPL's 1976 report is a report to the government and public. It was not written by bureaucrats.

In my experience, the more the word "community" is used the less of an actual community exists. I grew up in a fairly religious household and the religious community I was a part of growing up was the most tight knit group I have ever been apart of. Even if I don't practice it anymore I can show up at the religious center I grew up in and can see people I have known since I was born (I'm in my 30s now). One woman I see always tells me that she was the first person to feed me water. Many people never really get anything like that and it's a shame. Because people are so starved for some sense of real community, it's become a marketing buzzword.

I do like that hacker news does have a set of rules, and people try to enforce them (i.e. avoiding divisive topics, down voting low value comments, etc), but this alone a community does not make.
Otter.ai, collector of potentially incredibly sensitive user recordings, despite perhaps having a good privacy policy, has...

81 employees and no cybersecurity team from what I can tell.
linkedin[.]com/company/otter-ai/people/?keywords=security

Security and privacy isn't a tool, it's a set of tools in a logical stack and used according to correct processes. This is why focused newsroom security teams are so critical, but NYT fired their rep a few years ago and WSJ had or has generic security hires double-timing in that role. It sucks that Khashoggi wasn't more of a watershed moment for this.

I wouldn't worry about privacy, I'd worry about threat actors popping otter and it's 0 security team to expose sources.
I think the article is extremely interesting: As I kept reading, it eventually dawned on me that what had disturbed the author and gotten their attention at all was really just that a customer survey used the same title they had used when saving the interview recording file. The title was the name of their informant, and I think they were shocked Otter played an informant's name back at them.

It seems like they never before considered the implications of using the service and sending interview contents off-device at all.

If this is representative of the trade, I think as tech we have a lot of education left to do for everyone's safety. And if it is, good on the author for making it transparent. I feel like they learned a lot researching the article and basically put their own inadequacies on display for public scrutiny, which many others may not do.

Consider this next time you update your company's Privacy Policy and wonder if it's understandable, to who, can be discovered at all, etc. Do your users understand what of their data you have and how you use it?
I feel like almost everyone is working on some variant of digital garden/zettlekasten/digital slip box since the pandemic started. At least that's when I found out about it.
I'm sure some people will return to cities, but I feel that many will remain in the suburbs. To me, one of the pieces of this surge in prices is due to millenials reaching prime homebuying age. But millenials are also at prime ages for starting and raising families, so I suspect many will prefer to keep the larger size of their suburban homes.
A software engineer might not need to impress anyone to advance their career. But I think some careers do require a person to first look successful in order to be successful (sales(real estate), management, law, many kinds of consulting). I don't know how much someone has to spend on appearance in those situations but maybe the people themselves don't know either and so over-spend just to be sure. Maybe the $1000 jeans would help your friend impress the truly wealthy and maybe they wouldn't.

Which isn't saying that some people don't compulsively and unnecessarily spend. But in mid-level careers, determining how much is over-spending may be hard (which increases the temptation to spend, naturally).
Anything south of Orlando is basically drained swamp. The bedrock is eroding due to over development (which causes the land to sink) and salt water has encroached on the fresh water aquifer. Miami spent half a billion $ a few years ago on a pump project that is already being overwhelmed.

I would be stunned if Miami survives as anything but a billionaires island 20 years from now.
We do ban such accounts, and I've personally banned god knows how many of them. You're always welcome to email links to hn@ycombinator.com if you want us to take a look. Keep in mind that we don't see everything that gets posted here—not even close. For outrageously bigoted comments, the odds are high that we just haven't seen it yet. Any sufficiently large open forum is going to get those, and given that we don't know how to write software to detect them, there's an inevitable time lag before they get dealt with.

Outside that extreme sort of comment, though, the problem is not as simple as it sounds, or feels, because there's no consensus on how to define or interpret these terms. That means any particular moderation call is going to end up feeling wrong to a sizeable subset of users—good-faith users, not bigots or trolls. Put a few of those data points together and pretty much every reader is going to find a pattern to dislike. It's literally impossible to avoid this, even if we could see everything.

One consequence is that we/I regularly get lambasted with every horrible label that exists in polite society (a clarifying example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22941387), because most people misinterpret a sequence of bad-data-point experiences to mean "the mods must agree with and support this kind of thing".

I wish I could get across to people how these perceptions are unavoidable given the stochastics of the site (HN is a statistical cloud) and how our brains deal with randomness (by strongly overinterpreting it). I've been writing about this for years - a lot of which shows up in these links: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... and https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... - but it doesn't really land. Even if one knows these things intellectually, it doesn't change how they feel, and the feeling determines everything.
I agree that it's not a big issue, but it's certainly something I would like to see addressed. If I'm paying for protection from crushing costs by buying insurance, then I would hope that would protect me from any cost associated with lifesaving actions that would bankrupt me, and have tools to ensure the less urgent stuff is going to be covered.

Of course sometime to comes down to people making medical coding issues on a bill. I've been dealing with that for 6 months now.

I'm very low tech : I use a small paper notebook (see link below, I don't know the proper term in English). It's absolutely unhackable unless someone breaks in my house which I'm not too much concerned for (my security profile is "random Joe").

I would not trust something in the cloud.

But at one point you have to trust something, learn to let go or do without.

I'm too lazy to work on the "memory palace" thing, but it might be the best solution: portable, secure, free.

According to [1] the G6 at least measures skin temperature, but it is unclear if it measures air temperature as well (which the Libre does). I also found a reddit thread [2] that indicates it's quite common to get drastic changes in readings during hot showers with Dexcom (probably G6 version based on the date), so you might be an outlier in that regard.

> if you want employment, you have to use it.

I'm not referring to employer-owned hardware, where you have no ownership power over the hardware.

The vast majority of personal, privately-owned computers, are unnecessarily subjected to this garbage, it's those I'm referring to.

If you must for whatever reason, then use them isolated in a disposable VM like any other potentially hazardous software.

Surrendering control over the freedom to use your computer however you wish to these proprietary systems has predictably negative long-term consequences. These are for-profit businesses which will inevitably leverage their increasing control for supporting increased growth/revenue, it's only a matter of time.
Very true. We have faced this and we know friends across different cities facing the same issue. Houses in previously affordable neighborhoods are so expensive that even with 2 tech salaries people are barely able to afford. This is great for people who already have home whose prices have doubled but I cant imagine how anyone is able to afford a home let alone good homes near good schools (this may be specific to the US). I am personally really hoping for a real estate correction.
I can't imagine that it's legal anywhere in the world, but I love it. It's the stuff of modern folk heroes, like a corporate Br'er Rabbit.
Anyone know if there is a database for converting GPS elevation to local peak- or mean-high-tide elevation? I live in a coastal city and would be interested to know which areas are SOL...

We'd love to hire a few senior java devs, especially folks who want to go soup-to-nuts (front to back end). We were trying to hire in Denver, CO, USA, but eventually expanded to all of the USA because we weren't getting the candidates we needed.

When people talk about how far one country is from another, chances are extremely unlikely they are referring to how far their central points are from one another.
I went from those to a basic HomeAssistant setup, and really enjoy the fact that my light timers can be "30 minutes before sunset" instead of a fixed time that needs to be adjusted throughout the year.

On the other hand, the fact that everything stops working if wifi goes down is a real bummer. I can't for the life of me understand why these "smart" plugs don't just use powerline ethernet. I guess I should just be thankful that their API could be reverse engineered.
It isn't that they're in denial. They know full well what is happening. It is just that they are selfish. They're going to get theirs while there is still something to get in the hopes that they'll be able to weather this disaster until they are no more.

It's not relevant for a toddler, but for future reference, another thing to look into is inhaled insulin (brand name in the US is Afrezza, not sure if it's available elsewhere or under what names). The big benefit is that its onset is very fast and duration very short, so you don't have the inject + wait 20-40 minutes cycle. And if you accidentally take too much, you're not dealing with hours of lows because the duration is short. Most people I know who use it wait until after they've eaten (or maybe in the middle of he meal if it's big/long), based on readings from their CGM. It's not perfect, but it's a good tool to have in the toolbox.
Now imagine what it's like for someone with T1D to live alone, if you haven't yet been to a funeral for that. Every single time you go to sleep is a roll of the dice.
A little nit pick from my side: there was a few episodes where this format was changed a bit in various ways.
I'm in this boat too. It feels like a line was drawn sometime in 2020 or 2021: either you bought before then, and now you can enjoy your appreciation and relatively low mortgage, OR you're currently desperately trying to grab onto the last rung of the ladder as it gets lifted above you.
Even in their public forums they typically vet those allowed in. Donors don't have much of a problem talking to them.

They forget they represent everyone, not just those who fund them.
Hey, thanks for your comment, just curious, do you think the author of the article is uninformed? If so, could you briefly explain how so?

Genuinely curious, since I generally agree with what they said. However, I've been recommended that book before with the same sentiment and am quite curious about opposing opinions, just haven't found the time to read it yet.
No, because TDD (at least as defined) does not have you spend months to years up front just writing tests. You write them at the same time as (well, in strict TDD just prior to) writing the code and (possibly) other artifacts. Waterfall says, "Spend a stupidly long amount of time coming up with detailed requirements and specs and a hyper-detailed, and likely wrong, development and test plan. Then don't receive any feedback until you test, which is verification and conducted after the development is done, and deliver, which is validation." TDD at least has you do the verification part throughout the development process.
Flood insurance is immaterial to the arguments here considered. You buy it year by year, not in 40 year contracts. They will stop selling to you once your house is about to go underwater. Who would insure a house at the bottom of the ocean?
I’ve given up on any hope of meaningful emissions reduction and have f switched my work to climate repair, specifically methane removal.

It seems that we will have to bite the bullet and seriously work on repair, despite heavy opposition. And because of hysteresis, even when we get the climate back preindustrial levels, clean up the oceans, etc humans will have to continue to actively curate the climate, likely forever.

And it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
I don't think my expectations are unrealistic, or perhaps it's better to say that our current reality is broken. I actually don't want a large house, it's wasted space that costs more money to build and consumes more environmental resources just to be a bigger pain to clean and maintain. My ideal home is less than 1800sqft, which is smaller than almost all new builds today because home building in the US is optimized on how quickly a house can be constructed and on square footage in the lot space so that they can get the highest ROI for the builder/developer.

Upthread somewhere I said my budget was $1.25M and I was having trouble finding houses that are even bordering on acceptable. I don't expect a house to exactly match my wants if it's not custom built for me, which is exactly why I'm resigned to likely needing to custom build (and surprised by how cheap it is compared to buying, when it used to be a luxury). The issue I have, and most people have, is that low-grade cookie cutter homes are MASSIVELY overpriced relative to their actual value as a place to live. Nobody in their right mind would be happy paying $850k+ for a KB Homes "starter home" in a suburb that cost less than $60k in materials to construct and was built to the absolute minimum standards they could get away with.
