> I get mostly annoyed with how expensive some old cameras are because branding.

Regarding branding, I'd say you're half-right: In the same way that a Leica or Contax 35mm camera costs more than a Nikon or Canon 35mm camera, and the Nikon and Canon cameras cost more than a Yashica or a Konica (or even lesser known brands), so do the more luxurious medium format brands cost more. If you've never shot with (for example) a Hasselblad and a Kiev 60 (a budget Soviet knockoff of a Hasselblad) then you might be missing an understanding of the literal quality tradeoff, but brand names do command higher costs regardless. This is the same now with new cameras as it is (and always has been) with old cameras

> I mean the medium format box cameras are literally just a box with a hole for a lens and a bit of mechanics to move the film and shutter.

Every 'old' camera - SLR or rangefinder or viewfinder, 35mm or medium format, etc - is a box with a hole for a lens and some mechanics to move the film and shutter. New cameras are just boxes with holes for lenses and a lot of electronics.

Part of the original cost of camera bodies has to do with the fact that you're buying into a system; it costs more for a company to exist that builds good camera bodies as well as an extensive lens and accessory lineup, compared to a company that only has a few or poor-quality lenses to pair with their camera bodies. Some camera companies invested a lot of money into their ergonomics, or their materials and finish, or durability, or new viewfinder and shutter technologies, or autofocus, and so on. These companies typically charged more for their products.

Making cameras and lenses in a larger format format compounds all production costs. They literally have bigger viewfinders and mirrors and film transport systems and more glass in their lenses.

> There's no reason for them being a thousand dollars still.

Nobody is making them anymore, which makes supply-vs-demand an issue. You can only repair cameras so many times, and some are very difficult to repair at all.

Nowadays, you pay more for a used film camera if it's extremely popular, and usually it's the best performing, best handling, best looking cameras with the best used market for lenses and accessories that command the highest premiums.

None. SPF, DKIM and DMARC only affect outgoing mail.

Incoming mail is handled entirely by your mail server which is pointed to by your MX record.

This is actually where a lot of the confusion comes from. When you buy a domain, it doesn't go anywhere until you point it to specific web servers by adding A or CNAME records in your DNS. Same thing with your incoming email, nobody knows where to send a message until you setup your MX records. You can setup a web server that will serve any domain you want, but until the DNS points to it there's not an easy way for people to find it.

Outgoing mail had no such check though. Any server could send a message claiming it was from your domain unless you took the time to specify where your mail is coming from.

And no, this won't hurt you at all. All it does is tell the receiving mail servers that for an email from the domain to be valid, it must pass a DMARC check. If you subsequently setup something like Google for your domain's email, you'd just update the record by following the instructions Google will give you. For example:

"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

This let's Google manage the set of IP addresses. Google will likely also give you instructions to setup DKIM by adding a couple of additional records. This will ensure anything sent by Google for you domain will pass both SPF and DKIM, allowing it to be properly validated and delivered.

You'll notice that "~all" instead of "-all" as well. When you're actually sending email from the domain, it's best to use "~all" instead of "-all". The "-all" can sometimes be over zealously strict and by using "~all" instead it will be enforced but let you defer to the DMARC policy for the enforcement of failures (such as forwarding or list serves that DKIM would still survive but SPF wouldn't).
Idk man it’s all preference. I’m way more comfortable in the terminal than in a gui editor. The flexibility I get from my shell, nvim and tmux is unmatched by any gui solution I’ve tried. If you don’t like the terminal that’s fine you can always just use git!

It’s lightweight, fast, and works on any machine. After years in VScode I got fed up with Microsoft lock in for things like syncing configs and remote editing extensions.

Your point about windows may be true, but I’ve yet to work somewhere that hasn’t let me use a MacBook.

Also I’m a pentester at work, so I don’t have to write production ready code…I can see why developers might want all the shiny features/integrations that come with a language-specific IDE.

And, the worst thing is there has already been one bad incident in Apple factories, in India. The workers were treated so badly, given shit food, bad place to sleep and were given no salary, they started to strike. I hope such ruckus will make us consider how the "bigtechs" exploits people life for profit.
Apple has a store in India:

https://www.apple.com/in/iphone/

iPhone 13 is listed as ₹69900.00 (920$) vs. $799 in the USA. The former includes taxes, so its only fair to add $80 to the latter (taxes in my state are 10%), so it is still around $40 difference, which isn't bad.

But it appears that the iPhone 13s sold in India today are already being produced in India. If that is the case, any secondary resalers on Amazon are going to take a loss if they imported the phones the hard way (though they could have just smuggled them in).
But as we all know, it was just a pretext; the idea behind the invasion was to make Ukraine part of Russia, which is evidenced by all these talks about Ukrainians being Russian people.
I have a giant Spotify playlist with 5000 songs added to it. I frequently scroll through it randomly to be transported to certain times in my life. I don't really categorize music, and prefer one massive list.

As for other ways of listening to music: I have downloaded loads of 'binaural beats' for concentrating when coding, and lo-fi or ambient music for focus too. I got those with YT-DLP[0]. I downloaded because having a browser with Youtube open gets in the way of webdev. I prefer to have VLC in a separate process playing downtempo music.

So not much categorization in general.

switched to vscode from neovim in tmux a couple years ago, which used to be my weapon of choice for more than a decade (vim before neovim for the purists). practically haven't looked back. it really is amazing.
I'm not sure why Cochrane's so obsessed with using taxation (oh - he's an economist. OK.)

Most fossil-fuel burning is going on in power plants. By diverting power generation to renewables, you remove the demand; fossil fuel prices fall, prospecting falls, extraction falls.

Yes, I know, there's flight, shipping and personal transportation. But power generation is most of it. And I'd just like to see less flight, shipping and personal transportation.
What's the point of prime?

Seems like the free shipping and 2nd day shipping is all but a thing of the past.
Yes but you asked me when was the time when NATO trained on the border with Russia, now you move the goalpost? I think Russian invading Crimea is despiseful and the referendum is fake because there was no campaign or anything, but I also understand that superpowers earn different treatments due to the fact that they can cause nuclear blasts and end the world in minutes. Russia invaded Crimea when the political sentiment in Ukraine started considering the sentiment of joining NATO/EU, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_Dignity#United_S...

I think the issue is that US has been involved in the political environment of a EU bordering country, without any opposition from European leaders.

Ask HN: What do you do for a living?
I've always been curious about the demography behind this social network. After all, not everyone who's a "hacker" is in a tech startup or cybersecurity, right?

So, what do you do for a living? Is it the culmination of a series of interesting jobs all over the map, or have you had a Steady Eddie job for a decade or two?

And, more abstractly, what do you want to do? Are you living the dream, are you chasing a dream, or have you given up on chasing that dream?
I wanted to do that. But EBay has decided my account was hacked (I haven't done anything in 5 years and suddenly want to sell something - I understand the red flag). This can only be resolved by calling them at a phone number they will not give me.
I think that wide acceptance of IPv6 is the next big thing. A lot of ISPs still don't have it.
If Finnish land helped Russian national interests, it would have been taken in 1944 or 1945. By early 1943, Russia was pushing back Germany, and Finland would not have been a problem.

Finland would be in more danger if it joined NATO, not less.
One of the biggest reasons for the Russian military offensive is to establish borders that Russia considers defensible, which always indicated that Russia would push up to the Carpathians because it vastly narrows the attack surface on the northern European plane. Ukraine anchors Russia in the Carpathians and a loss basically opens the entire south up to Volgograd and Moscow. Just conquering Donetsk and Luhansk has fairly limited military value.
Your link doesn't say anything about spuds and/or clay, something I'd consider deeply dubious. AFAK tater toxins take considerable heat to denature. A reference would be very interesting, thanks.
That 24-hour response time seems easily gamed by just replying with just "we'll get back to you ASAP".

Indeed, Etsy even helps you with that; from their FAQ:

Not Lomo cameras, but not much better in quality. I mean the old Agfa Clack and Agfa Isola cameras for example.

Not only that, cars, no matter their size, going as fast as geometry allows it, are an inherent fixture. ... However, since this is not in your value system, it does not occur to you. ... You cannot even imagine these other solutions

You're making so many baseless and incorrect assumptions about my value system and thought process that it's very hard to assume you're arguing in good faith. You're welcome to try again without making assumptions about my beliefs or capacity for imagination.
>There's nothing Christian about it

My point was maybe this had something to do with why it "didn't really catch on." Given how viciously the idea was attacked by the Roman Inquisition as being heretical it was probably not the first time the church encountered the concept.

IIRC, monks were the predominant scribes in the western world pre-printing press. If intellectual ideas didn't conform to religious canon they could've theoretically been nearly completely erased via censorship only to be "newly discovered" by Copernicus etc.
There's a "System V" joke to be made there, although it's a little late (in Mac OS versions) to quite make sense.

Wow.. Yeah that's a great example of exposing what's actually going on!

Btw, is there a specific reason you're not listing the "yellow issues" from a packages dependencies on its front page? For instance https://socket.dev/npm/package/mongoose doesn't really show anything on the front page, but if you go to "dependency issues" you get "uses network, eval etc.". I think it'd be necessary to treat "dependency issues" the same as the packages own issues.

Main political parties in Finland are now supporting NATO. Public is supporting it as well. Top officials are busy travelling to meet heads of other member countries to make sure there’s support for membership. Likely they are also discussing about getting security guarantees during the membership process as Russia has put out certain threats.

We finns are in general quite confident with our military, but war in Ukraine has shown that potential conflict may not be ”a fair fight” between armies. In Ukraine there has been attacks against civilians and soft targets with missiles. This is not something you can easily defend yourself against. There’s strong feeling that we need some backup to reduce the likelihood of such attacks.
Perhaps. But I don't think I've ever seen just a "Did you read the article?" on it's own eg as a single - "Did you read the article?" rather than a "Did you read the article? Because it clearly said/stated/made the point that .....".

Have you ever seen a "Did you RTFA?" just as a single comment with nothing else?

Honest question because I've never seen that but may have missed some.
Did you do any of those things, or are you just pointing fingers at people for not doing the same things you did't do?

Make no mistake, the government's job, first and foremost is to protect itself. This means state, local and federal. The only reason we're even seeing any resolution on this sort of thing is they see it as a systemic problem. "Defund the police," and some local government's willingness to put it to a vote put a lot of fear into police departments. Over time, they will revert back to their normal behavior, so it's something we have to be diligent about.

Yes, I wrote my mayor, city councilman, senators, the president and congressman. Nothing really happened until defund the police became nationalized and the state / local / federal governments were forced to act out of pure self interest and self preservation. Bad, murderous cops got away Scott free for decades before that.

One of the saddest parts is good people become police to actually do good for the community, then they are met with this sort of nastiness from their departments and bosses. It's gotta be a real gut punch.

Here's a recent example of a cop trying to pull a sergeant off of a perp. Sergeant was threatening to pepper spray a guy handcuffed in the back of a squad car. Other cop pulls on sergeant's belt to stop what he was doing. Sergeant freaks out and puts his hand around other cop's (female by the way) throat.

My wife's 96 year old grandfather still has a driver's license because he passes some ridiculous vision test with 1 of his eyes. He can't read a newspaper or see a television well enough to enjoy sports (previously his favorite thing). He says he's memorized the vision test at his doctor's office and when asked the doctor refuses to file a report (or whatever procedural thing is required to remove his driving abilities). He totaled his car(s) every ~6 months for the past ~5 years. Luckily for other drivers, always doing something like hitting a concrete light pole base in a large parking lot. Although him and wife have been hospitalized each time as 1) age 2) sometimes happens at >35MPH.

All to say, the roads being safe as a core assumption is completely false. I'd gladly share the road with beta AI versus other drivers like this. Being an occupant in beta AI is completely optional.
To me there is a big difference in finding issue with that, and finding the SEC to be the proper authority to do anything about it.

It's interesting to think that right now, at your son's age, most people have friends that are dictated by their classrooms and just the people forced to be around them from 9-3 every day.

I noticed as I finished high school and post secondary school, my friends became people who I actually wanted to hang out with. I had complete freedom to find others to socialize with that were more similar to me.

I guess my question is, how much of an impact does not having a smartphone when you're a teenager have when you reach adulthood? Based on what you've described with your son, it seems like he's benefitting more from not having one.

Let's not exaggerate. There is a large middle ground where Finland bets on that the EU defence clause will deter Russia, that we can build an EU army or that the war in Ukraine will cripple Russia.

But yes, your main point is correct. The Finnish and Swedish defence strategies have been primarily based on knowning that we will lose to Russia but making the invasion too costly for a sane Russian leader to consider an invasion. And Putin's stupid invasion of Ukraine just reduced confidence in the idea that we can rely on a sane cost benefit analysis from the Russian leadership. Which does increase the appeal of a NATO membership.
I would mention also (although it didn't have much success in the end) the Borland database, Paradox for Windows:

It's interesting that we have no popular qualms about the Monroe Doctrine, which we've abused to interfere with and overthrow legitimate governments in South America for decades, but when Russia takes a Monroe-Doctrine-esque position with a country on their border it's out of the question.

I see basically 3 possibilities. Ukraine agrees to neutrality, Ukraine resists neutrality and has its country destroyed and is eventually forced to agree to it anyway (what is happening now), or the western powers start a hot war with Russia and risk WW3/nuclear holocaust. Given those options I'd go with the first.
Ask HN: Do you find “writer” somewhat pejorative? or is it just me?
I don't remember where I picked up this association, but I think, at least in some circles, "writer" seems to imply someone who writes articles for online magazines or any kind of publication in a sort of "lowest common denominator" way (similar to the connotations that come with "blogger" sometimes).

Anyone know or heard of this usage? Or am I just making it up?

Maybe for this reason/bias, I've never felt comfortable calling myself a writer, for fear of being mixed in with this association, like someone who just "writes anything". I take pride in writing essays and feel aversive about writing articles meant as "content" for general/mass consumption (damnit I sound like a douchebag).

I know many people who proudly call themselves writers, so I know it's not a universal thing. And I know PG calls himself a writer/programmer (don't remember the exact source, but probably a tweet), which never made sense to me because he strictly writes essays, so I would've thought "essayist" would fit him better.

I know I shouldn't care about labels or whatever, but I find it hard to shake. I don't know, maybe I'm just thinking too much (sorry this got a lot more personal than I had originally intended). What do you folks think??

EDIT: Did some digging, I think this article explains what I'm talking about:
