The idea that early adopters somehow are demographically equivalent to the entire population of future adopters is ridiculous.

Technology is becoming more sophisticated so capitalizing on it to generate value requires knowledge. That knowledge requires time and freedom to acquire. Building a business is becoming easier. It still doesn't change that building a business is risky and only wealthy people can take those kinds of risks. These statements can apply to ANY technology created today. ML, Crypto, etc.

I have. It's painfully slow.

But slowness isn't really the problem, the problem is that it's unpredictable.

I wait for the interface to be fully loaded, so I click on a text box and i start typing. Then FU--ING something takes the focus to some other element in the web page and now i'm typing random shortcuts (like reassigning tickets, changing status or whatever).

It's painfully slow but the real problem is that it's unpredictable in its behaviour.

KaithemAutomation(It's on Github), which is an automation system in vaguely the same genre as HASS and OpenHAB, but aimed at minimizing SD card wear, and allowing for doing unusual things with audio.

It is not a "contact us" pricing plan. The Data Center prices are publicly available on their website. It is more than twice as expensive as the Server offering, but still substantially cheaper than Cloud for the same number of users.

And it is the exact same software as Server with some extras enabled like support for multiple nodes, so upgrading to it is as simple as pasting in a new product key.

People don't decide to have heart attacks or get hit by cars outside of a hospital that's in their network. Surviving heart attacks can cost half a million to over a million dollars if care was received out of network. Disability can easily costs millions over a lifetime, too. Price transparency won't suddenly make that affordable.

Yes I agree, Etsy used to make sure you were original or had manufacturing partners. They had some kind of vetting for the partners until Josh Silverman(?) came on board. I think that is when those rules loosened and AliBaba became a legit partner on Etsy. It's been a slippery slope. My segment on Etsy is not conducive to mass production and I think we have simply priced ourselves above it as a way to keep separate . I have started seeing furniture made in Turkey and Poland and Romania that is now beating us up a little on price, not sure how they get the shipping so cheap but that is a different issue

I think there’s a good value proposition for high speed rail when it comes to business travel, which is usually same day. But for non business travel, overnight does seem good. However, there is simply not a culture of overnight train in the US. In India, it is really common and many routes can be quite delightful.
Yea, that doesn't seem like that useful of a number, since Frankfurt is a fairly major layover airport for international travel.

I guess the more specific question would be how many Germans fly to elsewhere in Germany or Central Europe vs. taking a train. I generally have to either do a long car trip or a flight to get around in the US outside of some specific corridors. Presumably most of Europe has the option to take the train instead, but are they?
> I blame Ethereum

The problems all started because of Ethereum. The scams, hacks and rug-pulls across, ICOs, NFTs, Tokens, DAOs, DeFi and now you have web3.

Put all of that together and you have tons of things that can go wrong and duck-taped that are not designed to work together which causes security issues and millions of dollars worth of losses. Now it is not just about payments, it's now complex dApps that are riddled with smart contract vulnerabilities.

Even when the team already pre-mined their bags from the start, it was compromised as a project; everyone relying on and trusting a team and individual. The moment that the DAO hack happened, the chain was forked and the people at the top orchestrated it.

When it goes to proof-of-stake, it will be even more centralized and no different to the other cryptocurrency projects out there.

Flying sucks. Flights are always packed and the seats are too close together for comfort. I wonder if a plane was packed with all first class seats how expensive the tickets would be.
Yes, fascinating to watch, but as usual the hype outpaces the science. Two major issues not discussed in the article: 1. How do you do a placebo-controlled trial? All subjects will know the difference between psilocybin and placebo. And there are often huge placebo effects in depression trials. 2. No one has done a controlled trial with more than one dose. The best RCT so far, done by Compass, only followed patients up for 12 weeks. By that time there was still a numerical difference between drug and placebo, but it was narrowing and no longer significant. Extrapolating from the available data, the drug and placebo groups would have converged after 6 months. So what does that look like for a treatment? Do you have people trip every 3-6 months? How do you structure a Phase 3 trial to test the efficacy of, say, the 4th dose?
I never take the last possible connection of a day, because of this risk.
It seems likely that hydrogen will replace diesel in trains. Companies like Alstom[1], PESA[2] and Talgo[3] are developing hydrogen trains. Germany has already started deploying them on a small scale[4], while Poland is planning to[5].

Totally agree with this ^
Yes. During COVID multiple airlines either almost went bankrupt or suffered huge losses because most of the cost of flying is depreciation of the airplanes themselves. That's why even though the US govt paid for airline employees' wages and fuel costs were 0 because no one was flying during COVID, airlines still suffered big losses.

> I'm a little surprised to learn that I take Amtrak more in the US than the average German citizen takes DB

Amtrak had 31.3 million passengers in 2016 [1]. That's 0.095 passengers per capita. And that's on all Amtrak trains, while the German number is just for the ICE high-speed trains. Amtrak's high-speed Acela trains only had 3.5 million passengers in 2019 or 0.01 per capita. [2]

Per capita is just not a useful number for this discussion.

I wasn't aware the ACA made pooling illegal. Awhile back I tried to form a group with small tech companies in my town to do this, but the insurance companies all wanted a larger anchor company. None of the bigger tech companies in town wanted to participate b/c they saw their benefits as a competitive advantage. This was post ACA, and I don't remember anyone mentioning legality.

Small companies get crushed by insurance. Giving employees extra money in their check and telling them to use it on the ACA is probably most effective for all parties at the moment.
Anything by Rooster Teeth is worth a try for comedy; not to everyone's taste, but if you like the main RT podcast there is a long backlog worth listening to. Skipping back 200 episodes got me through my PhD write-up.

"The ever-rising investments seem to be only enough to keep the status quo of the crumbling infrastructure."

It's quite a while since I've traveled by Deutsche Bahn but I found it very efficient and on time when I did. What do you reckon is the reason for the crumbling infrastructure? There was huge reinvestment after the war to renew war-damaged infrastructure and rail infrastructure usually has a very long life (many rail bridges and viaducts built in the mid 1800s are still in service today).

Was that war reconstruction rushed/not well implemented or what?

Rubygems is slow, the way that it requires files from libraries is by scanning through every gem, for every file, every time. Which is particularly brutal on Windows.

I work on these systems, and if anything my only complaint about the field is the propensity to solve every optimisation problem with ML. I have seen people solve textbook-grade linear, and even differentiable, optimisation problems.

And the reason it happens despite the 'invisible hand' etc is because it still works, it just happens to be horrendously inefficient. I think that's the main area of inefficiency in the industry: not in getting the job done, nor even arguably in accuracy - at least not severely - but in overcomplicating the solution[0] because we've formed a cargo cult around one particular method of optimisation, beyond all nuance.

[0] I mean 'overcomplicating' in absolute terms. Of course the very crux of my point is that, from the data scientist's perspective, it's not overcomplicated - it's less complicated than using e.g. ILP precisely because we have made libraries like TensorFlow so incredibly easy and tempting to use.

You're worrying overmuch about "the market". The US health care system is pretend free market. The government is paying for much of US health costs, and regulating various aspects of it.

What really matters is how the government policies would change when it's moved from employers to people. The government is likely to pay the costs for low income people, which will also mean their wages are likely not to rise.
Ask HN: What's a good list of companies that aren't big on LeetCode interviews?

> I wonder if a plane was packed with all first class seats how expensive the tickets would be.

It's pretty normal to have all lie-flat business/first-class flights between major business centres such as New York and London. You wouldn't know about them unless you were booking a first-class ticket in the first place, so they're not very visible.

I think the prices are the same as normal? Otherwise nobody would use them, of course.

Rail travel here in Sweden is unfortunately not reliable at all. In february only 75% of long distance and 90% of short distance trips were on time. Many departures were canceled due to a myriad of problems ranging from technical issues with the tracks caused by poor maintenance, to staffing problems caused by staff being off sick or failures of the new staff planning system to allocate staff. The problems aren’t uniform, some parts of the country are worse affected.

The train is fantastic when it runs but it takes a heavy toll on quality of life for thousands of commuters when they unexpectedly have to spend several hours a day every week waiting for trains that don’t work. Today my partner spent 3 hours on what should be a 70 minute commute.

Instead of spending much more on maintenance (which has been underfunded and mismanaged for years) to increase reliability the government is spending billions to build a new fancy high speed line between Stockholm and Gothenburg. I guess maintenance and reliability aren’t sexy enough for political campaigning.

The relevant point is that there are no (or very few) international ICE trains. Cross-border are usually slower Euro-city trains that shouldn't be included in the ICE statistics.

This is actually pretty interesting. I can't speak to ETS but Mnesia has replication and you can expose the replication log using something like https://github.com/emqx/mria.

It's also important to point out that taxation in eras like the 60's was very, very different than it is today. The marginal tax rate was still over 90% in the early 60's, versus less than 40% today[0]. The wealthy paid a whole lot more in taxes than they do today and that had major downstream effects for society.

Some of the upper echelon tax rate increases that have been proposed recently and panned as catastrophic for the wealthy don't even compare to the rates they were paying back then. And pushing to reinstate those kinds of tax rates would be political suicide because everyone believes they'll be a millionaire in the next 5 years.

> The only reason American employers are in the business of offering health insurance is because they get a federal tax break

The cost of paying me is also tax deductible, so they get a 'tax break' by paying me more money.

> This makes health insurance cheaper to the employer than to individuals.

I don't think that's the root. Large insurance companies seem to want to sell to larger companies - groups of people - vs selling insurance to individuals. Selling to a group is where it seems some price reduction happens. And... by and larger, if you're selling insurance to people who are already healthy enough to be working regularly/fulltime, your costs for insuring that 'pool' will be somewhat cheaper than the costs of insuring any random individual.

> they couldn't increase my salary enough for me to purchase the same plan myself

If the cost of my health insurance was deductible from my individual taxes, then the entire market would be turned upside down. There are certain thresholds that need to be met re MAGI (IIRC) before health insurance insurance premiums are deductible by individuals. I'm "self employed" so the entirety of my premiums are tax deductible, but for the average person working a W2 job someplace that doesn't provide health insurance for them, it's not a deductible expense, which is a total sham.

> Furthermore you cannot use the exchanges if your employer offers plans IIRC. So your employer can control which plans you have access to.

I do not think this is true. Everyone can sign up on healthcare.gov. Employers will want you to opt into the subsidized plans they offer, especially if you are a lower compensated employee, in order to pass their non discrimination testing requirements, but they have to make the portion they are paying for high enough to make it enticing enough, they cannot force you.

> The subsidies should just be given directly to the person who needs healthcare. There is no need to involve a third party. It just complicates the situation for no gain.

Absolutely. The whole employer tax benefit situation should be abolished, and all individuals dumped on healthcare.gov. Same with retirement benefits. Employers should not receive any beneficial tax treatment for providing benefits, and it would make compensation much more transparent and easier for employees to compare from one employer to another.
