This looks great! I may try this out for a summer trip. We plan trips amongst 3-4 of us. We've used Notion before, but my wife and friend couldn't understand it. We've used a Google spreadsheet and that works OK (using travel planner template). I used a Google doc this time and it's honestly better than the other two, although in Notion I _did_ like the ability to calculate trip cost and budget using tables + calculations.

>Why has the bicycle design survived if it is so bad?

The standard upright bicycle has one major advantage over more efficient designs: better situational awareness. The rider's head is free to turn without obstruction and high enough to see over cars. I choose to ride an upright for this reason. If I lived in a country with good cycling infrastructure I might have made a different decision.
The mistake has already been made. Markets crashing due to raising rates is due to the mistake made last year, and somewhat of an inevitable outcome.

Similar to 2000s, Bernanke raised too fast, but the raising should have started years earlier to prevent the need to move so fast

Otherwise we may very well end up in the 70s part two. There is not a good way out at this point unless the fiscal drag really is sufficient enough to cool inflation on its own. Which is really looking doubtful at this point.

A creative way out would be for the Fed to partner with fiscal policy to enact a new tax scheme or similar which sucks some of the money out without requiring higher rates. But chance of that happening is pretty much 0. It looks like the aim for the BBB has barely changed, and will still be inflationary the way it's proposed.

And keep in mind, long rates are market driven. If the Fed slow walk the rate increases, the 10y will just go up faster and faster as expectations of future inflation continue to go higher. There is no way to stop the repricing of the 10y at this point, aside from inflation coming down or more aggressive fed action to prove they are serious

I've always hated that story, because if you go into a "goodwill" type store and look at the used shoes you'll quickly realize it's not actually a true story.

There are places where it's true - for example short term rent. And buying in bulk.

Buying used is not one of those places. Buying used is the correct thing to do for someone with low income.

Printing money doesn't cause inflation if it doesn't get used.

If the Fed chair hands me a $100T check and I hide it under my mattress then it has no effect on prices. That check has to get put to use in order for it to start having effects on prices. I have to start buying properties and stuff and then the people that I buy the properties from go and put that money to use.

That is extreme but its an example of how money actually has to get used to have an effect on prices.

And we're seeing companies and the 1% and 0.1% sitting on massive piles of wealth. They invest that into safe short-term securities which pushes down interest rates. You see bubbles in things like certain rare baseball trading cards.

What we haven't seen is wage-price inflation, because that doesn't translate down into the broader real economy. We aren't fixing all the infrastructure and potholes in the nation and putting middle class people to work, who would then go out an buy groceries, middle class houses, etc. SWEs, of course, have been the exception to that rule. But the wage-productivity coupling broke back in 1980s when "inflation" (wage inflation) was put under control.

What is strange about the past year or two though is that there's now real upwards pressure on wages outside of tech workers. Don't know how much of that is due to COVID and long COVID removing workers from workforce and how much of that is workers looking at the pandemic and deciding that they weren't going to put up with any more bullshit HR cheerleading. The direct stimmy checks and eviction freeze may have helped with that as well -- although I think the indirect effect there was that many people were able to take a sabbatical and "just learn to code" and therefore hop up the wage ladder. I don't think we printed enough money there to really matter that much, but we gave everyone a 6+ month break so they actually spend some time jumping up the ladder rather than coming home from work too tired every day.

The fact that we now see some hard signs of wage-price inflation in the data is the thing which is going to really freak the Fed out, and ultimately they're going to hit the brakes hard, once enough of the pandemic/ukraine supply-shock is in the rear view mirror. It actually is "different this time" because of the rise in wages across the board. The next crisis I think is going to be due to the Fed stomping on the brakes (and possibly the crypto ponzi imploding). Then they'll flip back to ZIRP again, but I think they may not be able to print enough money to get out of the next crisis (which is the problem of "pushing on a string" which everyone has totally forgotten that Keynes used to talk about).
> Spotify has been publicly advocating for platform fairness

Big companies arguing for "fairness" is absurd and in the long run it will blow up in their faces.

In a society that prioritizes "fairness" over capitalism, Spotify and Google are not allowed to exist.

A vegan roommate used to get really worked up about drinking cow's milk, pointing out that humans were not evolved to do so in nature. He would say, "Can you imagine crawling under a cow to drink milk directly from the udder?"

I won't argue the "steal content" component. Indeed it's unsavory, though I guess I'm desensitized because that's what 70% of social media and reddit is these days.

In the context of this discussion, though, I think the "website" analogy fits just fine.
George H. W. Bush sanctioned Saddam to death instead of toppling his government. From the end of the Persian Gulf war until it was "liberated" it was basically impossible to do business in Iraq.

I guess you don't use archive sites then, either, right? Or search engines? Google creates an unlicensed derived work (their index) based on the sites they crawl. That seems like a silly justification. There's no way Twitter isn't aware of what ThreadReader is up to. If Twitter cared enough, all it would probably take is a cease and desist to stop ThreadReader for good.
They’re not even that efficient.
as far has I can tell the size of the Fed balance sheet is still growing every week. So yes they are still printing massive amount of money right now, at a similar pace than QE2 and QE3, and they have done for most of 2021, when inflation was already picking up significantly.

> percentage of subscription revenue from Spotify on the backend

This is an advantage of Google vs Apple. Google has multiple business relationships with Spotify. An increase in advertising dollars, infrastructure spend on GCP, etc could all offset the lost revenue for Google here.

Even if I can't afford this, it still sounds pretty reasonable to me for satellite Internet. What do competitors charge for similar service?
I really like that too. I personally would like it if the front page were from this day from some random year in the NYT archive.

For example, today you might see the front page from March 23, 1936 today and then tomorrow it might be March 24, 1982.

BTW, in case anybody was wondering, the 31" eink display is $1500. That actually seems pretty reasonable to me.

Slightly OT: It seems to me that a large part of our social fabric is based on chance encounters. Talking to strangers in passing, as you go about your day to day business. With increasing digitalization, especially in the first world, we're quickly losing these opportunities. There is often no longer any need to talk to anyone when buying groceries, running errands, asking for directions, etc. All of these are potential entry points to friendship/acquaintances/romantic partners/knowledge sharing.

There are a few new opportunities, such as message boards, meet ups, social media, etc but it's become very clear to me they are mostly inferior substitutes, lacking in both quantity and quality.

Online dating took off, which is overall a good sign imo, despite its problems. However, other chance encounters mostly disappeared. This could in part explain the modern paradox of being increasingly connected but more isolated, especially in terms of diversity (people of different ages, socioeconomic groups, interests, thought patterns, political leanings etc).
This definitely comes up. Some communities are more receptive to solar than others, and it is important that the local community buys into a project before it gets built. We've definitely passed by signs in the lawns of local residents unhappy about the project being built next door.

We are fortunate in that those sorts of problems are actually largely the responsibility of the solar project developer, whose job it is to finance the project, get land rights, do the appropriate environmental/interconnect studies, and build relationships with the community. The developer lets the construction company (and us) focus on building the project. But it's an excellent question.
I'm in my early 40s, I can't really think of anything, maybe because it's too close to realize what mistakes I might have made, and I don't really believe in that kind of retrospection generally.

FWIW, if you are in a position where you could potentially start a family (and want to some day), consider doing it in your early 30s (or earlier), there are a lot of things that get tougher as you get older. I don't regret putting it off until my 40s because it let me find a person I want to have a family with, but if you have such a person, my advice is do it now.

I think that I am still making a compelling argument on his performance even without the PR issues. I mean the browns just signed a QB with 22 active sexual assault cases, it’s a reach to believe that they would not sign Kaepernick because one time he upset some cops and overzealous fans by kneeling. He takes too much blame for starting that but it was a very popular trend among players afterwards and many players kneel without issue.

The conditions and trust are different. I personally believe that letting Google have my credit card is allowing a kid with no supervision to play with my life savings; While some others will believe Google provides better guarantees than Spotify when you want to unsubscribe. At least competition will allow us to see “who’s better” and what T&C customers care about, and that’s the important point.
>The main "office" building, where I worked, was actually a run down warehouse in the middle of nowhere.

That's nothing, I used to work for one of Europe's biggest semi companies and some of our offices were made of shipping containers lol.

IIRC even the mighty Intel had to completely overhaul their offices in 200? after some Jay Lenno visit embarrassed them for looking like the '80's.

Why is it that SW companies pride themselves with nice offices while semi/HW companies have some run down trailer park offices and see no issue with that?
> as far as I know, Lambda/Bloom actually delivers on their goal of improving their student's employment prospects

The root problem seems to be that most students don't end up finding jobs.

According to leaks, only 27% of graduates ended up making over $50k, which is the threshold where they had to pay back the company. Each student costs the company $13k, with $2,500 in CAC alone. At the time, the ISAs maxed out at $30k, which you'd hit way below the FAANG scale of wages.

https://www.businessinsider.com/lambda-school-promised-lucra...

Let's say you have a cohort of 100 students. It costs $1.3m to train them. 73 pay back $0. Even if the remaining 27 end up in FAANG jobs, you only make back $810k.
The long arc of human civilization absolutely points toward unification of society and government, not balkanization into independent city-states.

As a user, why would I choose this?

I only see a benefit to developers for this, but from a user prospective going with another system is a downgrade.

Assuming google works like Apple (correct me if I am wrong), disabling a subscription should be able to happen from a central location with a click or 2.

If I instead go with the billing through a company not only do they now have my credit card information, but I have to go through them to cancel. Meaning they can send me through screen after screen trying to convince me to stay (dark pattern) or even worse forcing me to call to cancel.

As a user, if you want to offer this fine. But as long as the ability to subscribe through Google or Apple is not removed I will be fine. But if this starts a trend of more and more apps having their own billing that then uses dark patterns to keep me subscribed... I will just end up spending less money on subscriptions than I currently do, and I have quite a few subscriptions.
Yes, and you can even do this quite cheaply. Oracle cloud free tier has a nice traffic allowance: https://paul.totterman.name/posts/free-clouds/ . Add tailscale/cloudflare tunnel/plain wireguard for connecting your home server to the cloud instance.
I don't mean to be contrarian, but thread reader doesn't do that much to improve reading.

It just removes some of the visual noise.

The bigger issue is that we organize our writing into paragraphs.

Threadreader doesn't know how to do that.

Building a half-baked Cpanel clone isn't a bad way to start and fail. Everyone had to start somewhere, even the guys who built Wordpress, Cpanel, Drupal, etc.

Ego wasn't really the problem in your case. It's good to have an ego so long as it's not divorced from reality.

I don't mean to lecture, but it seems like your issue was trying to find a problem in need of a solution and under the belief that's how people make money.

For starters, what did you want your project to do, that all the others couldn't? How did you expect it to differentiate itself in terms of speed, interoperability, new features, or any other variables. What, in real terms rather than aspirational ones, made it better?

I've tried to avoid smartphones.

I've failed, so instead I've tried to make smartphones do less (I have a Moto G8 and iPhone SE2 but in both cases install as little as possible and definitely no socials or similar).

The reason I failed to avoid smartphones is that dumbphones don't do enough - they are missing a password manager and a 2FA app.

On smartphones I use BitWarden and Authy, but I'd consider any non-Android non-Apple non-Microsoft phone that had similar functionality. Until I can get into my online accounts with the help of my phone, that phone is incomplete, even though I want nothing else except 4G (for network compatibility), calls, SMS, and a local music player.

It's the opportunity to take more of your revenue as margin, plain and simple.

Contrary to your suggestion, I would argue that most businesses do not want to predatorily extract money from unwilling customers. It's typically the old, calcified businesses that do not innovate (gyms, cable companies, etc.) that engage in this behavior.

I want more margin so I can hire more engineers and change the world faster.

Google probably sees regulatory pressure writing on the wall, and by doing this they're building evidence that they haven't built a mobile computing monopoly or are backing away from it (insofar as running executions on your customer's devices used to be free in the desktop computing world where two corporations didn't tax all of innovation).

Also, it's a shot against Apple, who is definitely the more egregious of the two.

This is all around good. There might be a company or two that abuse the system, but that's easily dealt with. In an open app ecosystem, you still have measures in place to correct the bad actors.
I was under the impression that they were combining the libraries or you'd get to pick which provider you wanted to stream music from but use the same app. If all this does is give you the option to pay for Spotify using Spotify app or a Google Pay subscription, then it only matters if Google is giving this option to all developers for any app.
