I don't think I could see someone defending Linux exclusive monitors, then why are some people defending apple's inability to make a monitor this expensive behave as such ?
I first played Colossal Cave adventure on a terminal in my mom's office in the late 70s. She was a FORTRAN programmer for a defense contractor, and would take me into the office on school holidays when she could not find daycare. She'd plunk me down in front of the terminal, and I'd play text based games all day.

I think this is what got me into computers and is basically responsible for me choosing my major and later my career..

That's where I draw the line: if someone has responded, I should stick by what I wrote and address any "edits" as a followup comment. If there are no responses then I feel like it's fair game.

Correcting simple typos and misspellings is also always fine.

Interest rates are gonna remain rock bottom forever , and be raised very very slowly even as inflation and GDP rips higher. this is incredibly bullish for stocks cuz it means all fixed income is yielding negative in real terms, so the only way to not lose money to inflation is to own stocks or real estate. Crazy.
I agree 100%. I have been lucky enough to not have to live in a ground-level apartment, let alone a basement, for my adult life so far, and I never will until I buy a house. The boost to quality of life from having nice windows and a view is immeasurable to me.

> proprietary network

The statement was protocols, not networks. Not all protocols involve networks. But let's assume you did mean protocol here and not network.

> it seems clear that for "chat, video conferencing, file sharing" (as well as social media), proprietary networks [protocols] are more much much more popular than standardized protocols.

No that's categorically false. HTTP came into existence in 1989 and HTTP/1 was fully spec'd out in 1996. The three major protocols for emails: POP3, IMAP, and SMTP: 1988, 1988, and 1981.

HTTP is used for communication and social media. So is HTTPS. Want to use an SSD for your operating system to load programs off-of for your games and communication? That requires SATA or NVMe. Want to play games that require non-trivial graphics? That requires PCIe.

Want to use Discord or Zoom or Slack Huddle or your own in-browser (or "desktop" [really a browser] app variant of those)? That's WebRTC which uses TLS and SCTP.

Where is the proprietary here? Where are you pulling this information from?

It's the right thing to do in an acute situation where financing locks up.

I would argue it's obviously the wrong thing to do for years and years while all assets are mooning in value, and 1m jobs being added per month.

The Fed chairpeople we've had since the financial crisis have been spineless about normalizing the balance sheet because they always optimize for the short term. Pretty sad tbh.

Need somebody who actually cares about the future generations in there. Nobody wants to be the guy that makes your stocks or house go down in value, but that's exactly what's needed to give future generations opportunity, and not just a huge asset bubble that will inevitably burst some decades down the line.

Covid monetary policy will go down as an initial success that snowballed into a huge failure.
Kaepernick [edit: almost] had a ring. You think the Browns couldn’t have used him? The Lions? The Bengals?
Your point is also moot when a former NFL exec confirms he was blackballed for his protest.

https://sports.yahoo.com/in-light-of-george-floyds-death-ex-...

>Colin Kaepernick was not bounced by NFL team owners because of his skill. He was not bounced because of salary demands. And he was not bounced because he wanted a starting job. No, he was rejected by NFL team owners because he became a financial liability, kneeling for social justice and igniting a telling firestorm with President Donald Trump.

You can sit here and argue all day about whether or not they’re within their rights to do it, and frankly I would probably agree with you. They are a business, they have to make business decisions. But to pretend it’s about his skill as a player is blatantly dishonest.
> Blockchain is also nearly useless at transferring money or money-adjacent things.

We'll probably have to agree to disagree there. I could send you $5 in Bitcoin right now no matter what country you're in, what bank you use, and without knowing who you are. It would cost like a $1 which is high for a $5 transaction, but that price wouldn't go up for a more significant amount of money.

> But we're talking web3 here, not money, so whether it's good or bad at handling money is irrelevant?

I think you have a misunderstanding of what exactly web3 is. All the apps with any traffic (loans, gambling, NFTs, insurance, derivatives) are using the money transfer capabilities of blockchain. It's the whole point.
It would be better, but it might also be borderline impossible or at least extremely difficult. Since Node is open source, anyone is free to try to solve. Maybe it is trivial!

In the meantime this is a practical, acceptable solution.

Don't all these new online banks (Wise, Revolut, etc) get UK bank license and then operate in the entire EU (although UK is no longer in the EU)?
Simply because the credit system is _in my opinion_ imperfect and punishes people harshly. It encourages borrowing. i.e. if a person is responsible and chooses not to open a credit line, then their credit is considered bad, and banks would consider them risky. That's just one example.
hmm those both look like B2B things of one kind or another (Social media building block and NFTs for social events). Is there something I might like as a consumer? could be literally anything that I could try. I'm just curious about the user experience.
Excited to see how this pans out. Myst and Riven (and to an extent, "7th Guest" and Gadget) 3D-ified text adventures and were very successful. Riven III was node based but provided full 360 degree viewing, but the game sucked. With the Williams' at the helm I don't think they'll let a substandard game through. Although I'm curious to see if they can add any more depth to it than Robyn and Rand Miller could squeeze out of the engine. IMHO I don't think there has been a single novel advancement to 3D games in decades, as I don't consider goggles to be novel.

I had already played all the Infocom games before discovering Crowther and Woods' Adventure (remember this was pre-internet). It came in the box with a Mockingboard speech synthesizer I got for my Apple in the early 80's. The novelty was that the mocking board text-to-speeched the game, which was neat but unbearable. Not to mention it didn't know how to say "xyzzy" correctly.
Thank you for the pointer, the example image restoration looks incredible. Happy to know more about different ways media fakes are being created nowadays.
You're basically saying you don't understand probability lol. The probability of Google going under is less than the probability of some random startup. If you disagree with that premise then we're at such fundamentally different points of view there's no point discussing further
It depends on the response. If it's an agreed error, it makes sense to fix it in the post, acknowledge the edit, and the reply may be deleted, condensing the thread.

I found it back in 2017 and I had no idea what YCombinator was (other than the funny website name) until I started as an engineer for a YC S19 startup. I was coming here daily by them but I’ve got a new found love after discovering what the actual company does (and I now know and understand the actual name and that makes it even better.)

I’m on my second company now (YC W21.) Here’s hoping to 20 more…

Definitely not spending any time on the internet soliciting business, you can check. Either the product speaks for itself or it doesn't, that's up to you - I have zero desire to market any wares. I read hn from time to time and saw a folding bike posts at #2 and thought I could enrich the discussion as there was no mention of Helix. If you're into folding bikes or cycling, why not find out about what else is available?

Also not avoiding any questions or intentionally lying. At the time I checked I missed the lower cost bike from PlanetX. Aliexpress would be cheaper as well, so I concede.

I did some contract work for them in 80s and asked why they were letting Microsoft and Apple blow up the universe..the response (from senior, or should I say Sr. ) management was that they were waiting to see which one won and would then “sue the winner”. Somehow they wound up suing Apple and famously lost on statutory grounds. (For the under-40 crowd: Before Apple ripped off Xerox and Microsoft ripped off Apple for the Graphical User Interface, they both were ripping off CP/M that, in turn, was a ripoff of RSX-11, which followed norms established by IBM, some 30 years earlier! The passage of time has shown those companies couldn’t research their way out of a plastic bag —2022 and we get the same UX with all kinds of smoke and mirrors to explain how cool Taiwan’s new 5nm fabrication is.)
So just because they’re often bad at it when done nationwide suddenly it doesn’t count?
Give me a break.

They’re literally banning books in multiple states. But let me guess, “doesn’t count”?
I was disappointed by this piece. It's very short-sighted.

Tech that's currently on testnets solves all the "problems" mentioned. It doesn't mention any of these solutions.

Also, use the right tool for the job. Storing a 4MB file on the ETH chain is probably not the right tool for the job.
> all interest rates are endogenous: determined by fed policy or future expectations of fed policy based on macro variables

The Fed frames its policy response in terms of the somewhat nebulous natural rate, which implies that there is some exogenous component to rate policy. Additionally, rates have consistently trended downwards for 500 years, well before the invention of central banks [0], supporting the notion that rates are driven by exogenous factors.

I know I'm being too literal but I kinda hate quips like that which rely on turns of phrases. They are completely devoid of any basis.

I'm sure there are languages that don't have the duality of gift/present as well as a coincidence in meaning for the word meaning "now".

I mean, sure, it's "aunt cute" or whatever but other than that it has not meaning.

People have been complaining that Hacker News is going downhill or "turning into Reddit" since the beginning. Here's a decade old comment from pg about staving off the site's decline[0], with the earliest "turning into reddit" complaint in 2009[1] and the newest (that I could find) from a month ago [2]. It's so common for new accounts to complain about it that it's specifically called out in the guidelines.

Doubtless every time, there were also people who thought they were in a "golden age" for Hacker News. People see what they want to see, and they're all subjectively correct given their individual perspectives. If you avoid certain subjects and certain threads (or certain times of day), Hacker News seems like a bastion of civility, intellect and gravitas. Elsewhere, it's a dumpster fire. Turn showdead off and follow dang's comments if you want to see the other side of the coin here, although I wouldn't recommend it.

Last week was rough, but generally it's not bad to do 3 pomodoros every day and usually I'm rolling during the day so it's fine to slip in the 4th.

Same with the evenings, and then I'll get 5 in which is a very productive day. Normally it doesn't really require any less sleep or even that much less time spent doing other things, I think the trick is working every day.

A federal minimum wage is preposterous. The cost of living between states is astronomical. Any federal minimum will create waste on one side and want on another. The "living wage" in Alabama is $13.77, but its' $18.62 in New York.[0]

Honestly, even statewide minimum wage is fairly ridiculous. Within the state of New York there are counties with a living wage as low as $13.23 (Wyoming County) and as high as $21.77 (New York County). This is a "problem" to be solved at the county level exclusively.

I have genuinely no clue what that is. I don't think it's the same thing as Open Banking, though. The FCA did just fine NatWest a quarter of a billion for their blatant money laundering.
Yesterday they had two.
Except it's not a standard. It's "everyone has a different API that is broken in another way". But you can threaten legal action if they don't fix it or help you, which gets stuff done.
It seems like we haven't had a non-robot status update on the status page in days since this what seems like daily occurrence. I figure at this point we'd get something of why this is happening.

I also don't appreciate our builds freezing, unable to be cancelled and then eating up hundreds of minutes.
Great anecdote, thanks for sharing your dissertation ;)
I'm sorry, but what an absurd comment.
Is it? “Free software” was the strict one, to my understanding, but I freely admit I’m likely wrong.
I've liked the new features too, especially after so many years of not many features. Maybe they've moved too fast now
That's the point. These things cost only ~$40,000, yet are highly effective at destroying tanks that cost many times as much. Single-shot kill rates of over 90% have been reported
That makes sense. I think the reason I was confused is that when you first open the app, it shows the preference windows, so I tried to set the brightness below 0 in that window. It didn't work, so I checked Allow brightness to reach zero. I then tried the keys and it didn't work due to me having checked that option. I then unchecked it while trying to figure it out... And eventually saw the screenshot on your site where the user is interacting with the icon in the menu bar) which is how I got it working.
Looks like they really want to get a PR deployed, but there's still not enough duct tape on it.
I'll be interested in this remake when it's done. I don't know what it is about Colossal Cave, but the descriptions of the caves were pure magic to me when I played this many years ago. Perhaps it comes from the real experience caving of the authors. I also loved the Magnetic Scrolls games from the end of the 80s, like Jinxter - they had some great humour (but difficult puzzles).
Each market is different; even when UK was in the EU it wasn't like you could for e.g. apply for a credit card from Bulgaria - the supervision responsibilities for UK customers fell onto the UK based Financial Conduct Authority. If you try and purchase an Apple item on credit in the UK, the loans are provided by Barclays even.
I downloaded the PDF and went to the links, but I did not find easy pricing. Is it somewhere I am missing on the site? How expensive is it?

Side joke: For hobby stuff, I jokingly price a new endeavor in the number of Starbuck's tall lattes, which I don't drink, but is handy for my acquaintances who say they don't have the money for hobby projects, and then proceed to buy 2 or 3 of these a day at $3 or more a pop ($180/month based on 20 working days - I allow for weekend indulgences!).

It's been years since I looked into this stuff. I remember a story about someone with locked-in syndrome using eye-blinks to communicate letter-by-letter, or with yes/no answers. I remember they purportedly wrote a book.

Was that also discredited? Is there any standing evidence of communication by the locked-in?
I feel like if it was supposed to be at a specific valuation it would be listed. My guess is that it's a commitment to invest a million but the amount of equity might vary over a range as large as from X% to 2X%
