> did you see how you turned your crypto into yen (fiat) to get your sushi?

Sure did why is that a problem? I could have turned the fiat into Marriott points and exchanged those for a hotel stay. Does that mean the fiat is worthless because I turned it into Marriott Points first? I just needed to get my liquidity into the correct medium.

FWIW I don't like to think of it as "buying sushi" instead I sold yen for sushis. Maybe I'll use my sushis to buy bitcoin from someone.
Because new housing is typically more expensive than old. And banks usually don't wanna finance you. So you are doubly out of luck and on top of that compete with property investors.

Also that would incentivise investors to build up as that improves their profit margin if it's rentals.

Ask HN: How do you stop forgetting to commit or push?
This happens to me frequently. I hack on a project at my laptop or home computer. The next day I travel to my office only to realize that I didn't commit or push any of yesterday's work. Thus to continue working on whatever I was working on I need to go home, push my changes, and then return to office. Very frustrating.

Does this happen to anyone else? How do you prevent it?

Not sure a source is required when he's simply providing an opinion, albeit assertively.
You have a valid viewpoint.

I think it is more due to the failure of the CS "Intelligentsia" to popularize Computing(theory) and Computer(machines) Sciences for the Layman.

Computers have ushered in a most radical change in our societies and yet they are a complete mystery to most "ordinary" people. There are more popular science books on "Quantum Physics" than on "Computing/Computer Science" which is sad to say the least.

But i think there is hope for the future with books like a) Code by Charles Petzold b) Algorithmics by David Harel becoming more popular.
Can't help with anxienty in general, but what helps me:

- See it as a game. If you don't absolutely need that job it's just optimizing income and stuff.

- Prepare. Might not actually help, but feels good. (a few default questions answers, your own questions, plan how to react to the money question etc.)

- Go to a few of them to get practice. Means to be a tad less choosy, you can always choose after the offer. Good to have a decent offer, even if you don't want to take it anyways.

If ideas of Christ/God/etc. were truly independently reasoned into by someone never exposed to Christianity (as anything else would not satisfy any definition of "independent"), it would really be a miracle. However, it is much more likely to be a post-rationalisation.

Yes, conceptually similar philosophical ideas could be reached from first principles, but those would not come in the same exact packaging as Christianity (and it is packaging that makes many religions not that different from cults preying on vulnerable people).

Well, for nontechnical people #3 is already the standard practice, since outside of STEM it's common to essentially never do any math, we pay our taxes with apps and many don't "budget" so much as "Spend almost nothing on anything that isn't essential", and even if we did budget, we'd use Excel.

#3 also mostly works in programming, where common algorithms are black boxes, but it completely fails the moment you want to get a job that needs true understanding.

Seems like we need an approach that actually gives people a sense of trust that the mostly useless times tables and trigonometry problems they learn will someday help them work at Google or read a scientific paper, so people have the motivation to avoid getting behind in the first place.

I don't know whether what you say about India is true, or what socialist-inspired special interests are given that socialism is about removing class distinction and thus special interests, but yeah I agree that Maoist policies were a disaster and market reforms were an improvement. But that's not a surprise to anybody, including Marx - who very clearly said that capitalism was better than dictatorship (or monarchy/feudalism, the only kind of dictatorship prominent at the time). It seems to me that India is just full of corruption given they have both billionaires and crushing poverty at the same time.

My primary political concern is reducing suffering. Capitalism leads to less suffering than dictatorship, but also leads to things like 996 and Chinese factory conditions, and thus should be either moderated or replaced with market socialism.

Central bank reserves aren’t the only assets that exist. Most countries already didn’t have a reserve requirement. CBRs are mostly required just for liquidity for interbank payments.

Banks that don’t have assets to cover all their liabilities (deposits) are insolvent. Non-delinquent loans are assets to the bank (liabilities to the customers) that are created when banks lend and create money (which become deposits - which are liabilities to the bank and assets to customers).

Only the central bank can originate money without creating debt.

Why does an interested man, on seeing a wedding ring on a woman's finger, decline to make an advance? Because of the "collective delusion of marriage" ?

No. Because the ring stands in for what-will-happen. It's a sign of consequences and expectations which are real, but grounded in the reality of human action.

When taking money for payment, we don't want bread -- bread satisfies my hunger, but not my need for *PAYMENT* -- which is to have *something to pass on* to another person, for what I want later on.

"Bread" is no more a collective delusion of hunger, than money is a collective delusion of trade. All trade is trade with money. Receiving "bread" as payment, isnt a payment -- it's consumption. To trade at all is to receive money, ie., that think which can be passed-on.

Trade is a game of receiving something pass-on-able for something consumable. That we use bank notes for this is a contingency, but it merely a symbol for the underlying necessity -- inasmuch as a ring symbolises marriage, which is that series of actions which will occur if you have an affair.

Money is not a delusion. Trade is not a delusion. People's need for a medium of exchange is as real as their need for hunger.
Marx also saw the potential of sustained economic growth way before anyone else did. He thought that socialism itself would only start making sense and become actionable after capitalism had exhausted its own growth potential; this is what would have made socialist revolution a foregone conclusion, a necessity of history - and an intermediate step towards full post-scarcity, which is what he meant by 'communism'. If he deserves to be called an economist (and I believe he does!) it's for these things. Not really for anything he wrote in Das Kapital.

> I don’t understand why free software always neglects the UI

Because UX is multidisciplinary, which is hard when collaborators are loosely coordinated and even harder when the entire team is developers - or developer, singular.

Also, it requires knowing the users and walking in their shoes. That marketing attitude is absent when the project is about scratching one's own itch. Even when attempting to reach audiences beyond oneself, the change of perspective is hard while immersed in the project's internals.

Non-developers thinking they'll help will have a hard time establishing sufficient credibility for any sort of fruitful cooperation to occur. And that of, course, is before everyone starts getting territorial about it...
Yeah you know being a big fan of British dark humor, i think it's totally unacceptable to compare Kim with Putin.
What surprises me is how society gradually centered on currency and exchange of things instead of spreading knowledge. Maybe long ago, it was an obvious equilibrium, people didn't have time to learn, no means to teach fast and far. But now it makes us dependent. Each wants to ensure his survival by being a requirement for others to the point of obfuscation. And it degrades social links.
About a million years ago, I was a younger buck with an itch for sales.

I got hired at the Times Square store as a floor rep. I had this grandiose design in my head that I'd just sell my you-know-what off and rise to the top.

You needed to be bilingual to work there, and I had just moved to the city from a yeehaw nowhere-town, so I just claimed to be, got the job, and started hustling.

I moved watches. Like you wouldn't believe, sometimes 2-3 in an hour!

About six weeks go by, and I'm brought downstairs into the admin office area, several of the managers (there were like 7 levels of mgmt throughout the store) were waiting for me. The head lady at the time looked me dead in the eyes and spoke a whole Spanish paragraph. Of course, I had no idea, so I was speechless.

She said: "That's what I thought, furtivo." I was no longer welcome in the store, and they even made me take off my store shirt and walk to the train in my undershirt.

I didn't walk away thinking "I'll never lie again" but rather, I learned the difference between bs-ing a little, and outright lying. We all bs a little, particularly on the resume and in the interview, but I make a point not to outright lie anymore.

I visited the store nearly a decade later, and only recognized one person there, someone I had never directly interacted with. Nobody stuck around, anyhow. Hope they all moved up somehow.
Couple of things to note

1) The Pico doesn't have an OS, by default. It's designed to run bits of code people have written in the SDK. There are no guarantees that someone won't write code that endlessly busy-waits checking for a condition, and no warnings that doing so can be harmful

2) It costs about $4. Is there really much to lose if you "risk it" with this software?
I think that classifies as exceptionally well. You get 1000x compression and when trying to send a compressed payload, the issue of "the server may time out the connection" pretty much goes away. 4MB is trivial to send from almost anywhere - to hit the 30s timeout, you'd need to go slower than 137KB/s.
The biggest coming change is raw_ptr wrapper to replace raw pointers stored in structs and classes. Presently in Chromium it is no-op, but soon will be replaced by a non-trivial implementation that will instantly crash on use-after-free.
Yeah, I've been against religion most of my life, but softened the stance a bit. There's good and bad.

We need a modern social construct that fulfills and replaces some of what religion provided. I don't think we've nailed that yet.
It's still a situation with no clear solution.

Either it's a common word that is just hard to spell, and sticking to actual spelling is the saving grace as people who didn't know the spell will have a fighting chance to remember it.

Either they come up with an easier to spell version (e.g. "fuxia", but then those who knew the right spell will have to remember both, and those who "misspelled" the flower will be thinking Google's project name is the "correct" spelling.
The impetus for the switch stems in part from an issue in the helper macro list_for_each_entry() -- an issue that could be alleviated if declaring variables in a 'for' loop header was allowed [1].

It is clearly intended.

One hyphotesis is that this would be the only predicted way - BigData, AI? - to wage a war like this and not endind into an unexpected nuclear interchange with NATO.

Everything else, including several parallel / russian doll style maskirovkas - losing hundreds of tanks because the lack of heavy use of its air forces, momentarily detaining fully predictable corrupt high level staff here and there, throwing money here and there to be stolen by the same corrupt people - would be just to hide the conscius decision process even from his own people, and also, intended.

So a war like this could actually be the lowest cost conflict feasible to achieve the desired outcome, if you want to start rebuilding the Iron Curtain given the current state of affairs (technology, politics, social stuff).

That, or Putin has lost it. But it still looks like he has not.

I hate what video games have become.

I think this is more than anything, an app store sickness.

It has spread a little to consoles and desktop, but I can still buy a 100% offline, single player game, which has the main purpose of entertaining me.

It has a story, a point to it, a mystery often, fun things to do which aren't mining or grinding away.

I pay 80 bucks for the privilege, and am quite happy to do so. It is worth it, giving me many hours of entertainment.

Some boast "oh I finished the game first run through in 8 hours" Really? Such players just ignore all the scenery, don't really explore, don't grasp the full mystery, just... fast fast! Gotta get this over with!

I play and take in the scenery, and games like the Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn are fun, take 50 to 100 hours to play this way.

Just reading things in-games, clues, discovering how these worlds got this way was 1/2 the fun of the game!

So stop playing on your portable addiction device. Its hold is more devious too, as it is always in your pocket.

Ask HN: Software with biggest potential for positive impact in 5 years?
What is 'positive impact', you ask. Well, I'm eager to hear your ideas but I'm thinking software that tackles the big challenges: energy usage, preventing armed conflicts, reducing poverty, STEM training, improving access to sustainable environments, implementing AI, et cetera.

I would argue Wikipedia continues to be a very important software project (albeit with an emphasis on the database on content than the wiki software itself), and Linux as this specific piece of software serves as a platform for many other applications and services.

What do you see?
Well, there are two traps here. The first is to say that we can't trust anything, not even what we see with our own eyes, since for all we know we may be living in a fabrication. In that case, you'll probably just die of starvation, since you have no reason to believe that you have a body and need to eat.

The second trap is to say that everything just comes down to which authority you believe, and it's all just a matter of aesthetics, or personal taste, or perhaps you'll just stick with whatever you were indoctrinated with as a child. In that case, it's an arbitrary choice whether you want to be a Christian, a Moonie or a QAnon follower. There's no right or wrong, valid or invalid. The demands of religions seem suspiciously human-orientated from what I've seen: it's far more likely that they are demands from various individuals or groups about how other people should live. I see no sign of any involvement by an "all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the universe".

I'll stick with science, regardless of what Nietzsche may have said, as the only option that makes any sense for flawed human nature. Science can be wrong, but it's based on generally repeatable observations, and is ultimately self-correcting: it's the best we can do to understand the Universe.
Yeah, I understand that, but I don't understand why you can't execute a state machine in another account/region - assuming the IAM policy allows it. If this is a limitation of the startExectuion resource, I don't see it documented.

> The system is what provides the foundation of success, therefore it should be maintained, hence taxation.

taxation is the system that maintains peace and stability and international commerce that enabled the success of amazon. But they are a product of the peace, stability and globalization of commerce - taxing them more doesn't increase the ease with which new amazons could come about. Taxes are fungible, and gets spent on things that may not help, so a company (or individual for that matter) would not just blindly pay more tax, and hope for the best.

Gov't should firstly set out the policies that they think will allow for the growth of more amazons and such, fund it, _then_ tax the population after the fact. Because tax dollars obtained without any difficulty is often merely just wasted in gov't.

> lumber is a limited and valuable natural resource

I assume this is still true, but a year ago when I unfortunately had to start a large lumber project the stumpage fee, aka the price a tree owner gets when they sell their tree to be logged, was at all time lows. The entire price increase was at the mills due to

- supply dipped because everyone thought the economy was going die and preemptively shut down mills in 2020 but actually the opposite happened

- demand soared as everyone wanted to build houses or do renovations

- lastly, minor labor shortages and covid outbreak induced stoppages
