Here's an interesting article from 2003 about microtransactions that argues the main issue is actually mental burden of paying for hundreds of tiny things every day, ie. "mental transaction costs".
https://web.archive.org/web/20031202032448/http://www.shirky...

The concept seems to first appear in Nick Szabo's paper in 1999:

Things like Brave's Basic Attention Token seem to solve this problem in the sense that it's completely automatic based on the amount of time spent on each site. But then you have to use Brave, and you have to use BAT...

In my case, most of the money would go to YouTube, Reddit and HN. (I think Brave actually has a way to send the money to individual creators on a site rather than to the site itself. But I haven't used it personally.)
It's the NYPost. They're going to stir the pot anyway they can.
Actual title: Scraping apartment offers to show them on a map

(since the current title just conveys some general topic of apartment need, with no indication if it's about "my partner died and it's interesting to notice how large a whole house is" or something)
I will also second Fastmail as a Google alternative. Does what I need well.

I have encountered a couple minor bugs with the calendar but nothing I would classify as a show-stopper.

First, once in a while when you load the calendar page an event doesn't show up. Refeshing fixes it. Never had issues with events not showing up on mobile, though.

Second, I sync external calendars and sometimes events show up as also being on the external calendar. Weird, but easy enough to ignore.
You must live in the suburbs. Even in slow transit San Francisco, taking the bus is always faster, never mind Paris.that’s not counting we’ll never meet our climate goals with suburbs.
> a kind of non machine specific "virtual machine" (called the Visi Machine) that all applications were written for. Only the very core of Visi On (called the Visi Host) was machine specific... Sounds kind of like Java or .Net doesn't it?

Sounds kind of like 1990s Microsoft Excel.

Your comparison in the 1800s about horses vs bikes omits consideration of the condition of roads - it wasn't until very late that cyclists started succeeding in getting roads more paved. This development was also of course welcomed by motorists who also demanded more paving. Now both are competing for space on those paved roads.
People are allowed to have differing opinions and styles of writing. Please stop calling everyone you disagree with a bot. It helps no one and dumbs down the public discourse.
> If someone doesn't have a government ID, the state probably doesn't even have current contact information for them, know whether they're a resident or not, or perhaps even know they exist.

That's why I was saying like the census. The idea is cover all individuals by canvassing all the places they could reasonably be living. All the collective levels of government certainly have near-complete records of that.
> nothing changes for them

People who don't live in cities still go to cities occasionally, and most anti-car proposals negatively impact this use case the most.
Hey, if they don't like it, they can get a job somewhere else, no need for authoritarian governments preventing people freely entering contracts with groups with much more power than they do individually.... wait, this reminds me of something?
Only in suburban America are those sizes conceivable.
HOAs get a lot of hate, but they were the only recourse I had against neighbors who became hostile when I tried talking to them politely about their 24/7 barking dog in the adjacent lawn.

It’s weird how socially acceptable it is to have a pet noisemaker in your backyard, and how socially unacceptable it is to have an issue with it.

Have you considered switching to Commento [1] instead of Disqus? It is way more lightweight than Disqus, has spam filter and allows importing from Disqus.

Power Query / Power BI is pretty much that, treating spreadsheets as one source among others, with transformations and analytics on top.
A question for all those in favour of street parking: If parking right in front of the store is so vital for business, why don't they do it in shopping malls? Why do you have to park your car somewhere else and then walk to the stores?

I've never even gotten an answer, just silence.
You can make this argument for any change that would improve cycling and transit though. Take street A, a street that right now is hostile to both; it only has car lanes, traffic is fast enough that it's intimidating to bike on, and buses get stuck in traffic. You'd like to get to street B: a street that people feel safe to bike on (protected bike lanes) and that enables transit to be fast and reliable (dedicated bus lanes or streetcar right-of-way).

Now how do you get from A to B? At some point during that process, you'll have to take away space from cars. This might mean removing travel lanes, and it might mean removing on-street parking, but regardless, that is a necessary step to get to street B.

That point is where people complain, "you're making driving impossible!" But you can never get to street B if you never make that step. And at the point you do, there generally also won't be that many people biking or taking transit, because you haven't changed the street yet.
Get blood work.

Check your testosterone, fasting glucose, insulin, estradiol, cortisol, and CRP.

If any of these are out of reference range, or close to the boundaries thereof, fix them.

If you're fat, lose weight.

Chronic lethargy usually has physiological reasons, the two most common ones being insulin resistance and low testosterone. Get them checked.
Also, how do you reproduce even the demo software from a paper that’s been out for a year (an eternity in software maintenance time?). Git repo might be gone, some dependency broken, or maybe they used some system that isn’t around anymore.
> Americans in particular go to Europe “wow it’s so awesome here I could totally live here!!” And then it’s like they land back home and their mind is wiped clean.

The "tourist" vs "working" views of a city to the side, I think the big solution isn't revamping existing cities at first, it'll be creating pockets of new development with different goals.

And there's lots of weird things that affect American suburbs - minimum road width is often tied to service vehicles (specifically fire and garbage trucks); these could be overcome with some thought.

I've often wondered if a "carmpromise" city could be built - let's assume a ten minute walk is half a mile. Imagine a strip of city a mile wide where cars are effectively banned. Parking garages at the edges provide car access for those who have them, and the rest is entirely built around walking/biking. Perhaps a tram line runs through the middle. Then those who want cars (basically everyone) can move in without fear, and if some? most? eventually realize they're not using them they can save money by eliminating them.
If you are talking about hierarchy copying the Catholic Church, well the church also copied the Roman government, that appeared mostly naturally from the existence of an imperium.
Sorry, I had no idea that there is a paywall. I use the extension[1] that removes majority of paywalls.

How does that allow them to make more money? I can see the factory could be a little smaller?
I dread the idea of moving back to .ca from .nl for exactly this reason. Hellscape is right.
I don't think that contradicts what GP is saying, or perhaps I misunderstand them. 5 directs per manager. So 10 engineers = 2 managers. But at 25 engineers you have 5 managers, and now you've maxed out their manager.

Either way, my experience has been 5-10 directs as the sweet spot. 12-15 is fine but really pushing things. Beyond that, you need more structure.
This list should be expanded with brands so consumers can help the companies make the right decision.

The article establishes that business owners are not the most reliable source on the impact affecting themselves.

> Haskell even has problems coming up with a single string / text interface.

That's orthogonal to the claim that if everyone used Haskell we'd have better code reuse.

> It's not some magic bullet for code reuse

Not a magic bullet, but makes code reuse much easier than any other lanugage.

That can be attributed to a focus on sound abstractions, referential transparency, and laziness[0] mean that code is much easier to reuse.

0: Yes, laziness helps composition and code reuse!
They exist, and it seems silly to suggest that they don't with n=1
The whole Haxe ecosystem flies under most people's radar, partly because it evolved from what was once the Flash ecosystem. It never really qualified for the kind of "NEW SHINY THING" announcement that creates hype elsewhere. A lot of people who have written loads of games are peripherally aware of it but have never actually gotten hands-on with it.
PSReadline – bash inspired readline implementation for PowerShell
I'm in the same boat as OP, and Migadu is on my shortlist of replacements along with mxroute.com. They both charge for a bucket of storage instead of per user, but MX Route is in the U.S. as opposed to Migadu in Switzerland, which may be relevant to some people.

Question for everyone: Are there any other services with similar pricing where I don't have to pay more to spin up an extra address?
My current Haskell job and previous Haskell jobs disagree. Also I'm not academia since I don't even have a bachelors degree and am a professional Haskell developer.
Because 100% of people don't want something is hardly "reason" to create a law and just because a majority wants something doesn't make it right. There are plenty of examples of that in history.

Is the role of government to maximize social good or individual liberty? I'd rather the latter because the examples of the former are abundant and dreadful. Anyone who thinks this isn't a race to the bottom where lawmakers trade "happiness" for votes at the cost of liberty is lying to themselves. Let's not kid ourselves, a 40 hour work week is not the same as child labor in the coal mines; such laws exist only to win votes. When will it be 20 hours a week? 16? At what point do we descend into the madness that embraced Rome where the role of government became appeasement of the populace to keep them from revolting?
Cars need roads and parking space, those take away other people's chance to have a quiet, safe, pleasant city center just as much.

It's not a matter of one side being authoritarian, there's conflicting interests.
>You could probably gaslight your girlfriend with it, if you are incomprehensibly evil.

I'm honestly a bit more concerned with people gaslighting courts.

The technology isn't going away, unfortunately. Society will have to adapt to these new invasive norms, as they already have time and again in the past.
Well then don’t live on a farm? I mean I’m not sure what they’re expecting. If anything there would be fewer cars on the road and less traffic.

Maybe we should buy the land surrounding their farm and just place apartments and Wal-Marts and tear down the trees? They can live next to the city they wanted. Oh and that way I can go visit a farm whenever I want, easily and conveniently and feel like I’m on the countryside. Similar to a farmer getting to feel like they are part of the city or town. This cuts both ways.

“But Eric this is already happening”

Yea because we build suburbs, and have to spread everything out.
and how much all that will cost vs buying in bulk.
It’s not even logically consistent with itself. The article starts by saying that we have a “massive car addiction”, then talks about a village where only 4% of business customers arrive by car. If true, this leaves totally unaddressed the question of where all the car addicts are actually driving to, and what to do about it.
Oh I don't actually disable WASM. Those are just different scripts that can apply to pages when a filter matches. I disable sendBeacon everywhere with `*##+js(disable-sendBeacon.js)` but the others I don't use or only use on a specific site. I believe I added the WASM removal just to test how a particular site's fallback would work when it wasn't present. That said, disabling WASM probably reduces your browser fingerprinting bits. I bet fingerprintjs[0] uses it.

UBO already has a built-in set of powerful scripts[1], but I just wrote my own for fun. I think I could have done this by just using the built-in ones.

edit: This filter does the same thing just using the built in `set` script, but won't log to console:

*##+js(set, navigator.sendBeacon, trueFunc)

When I was using Skype, branded emoji would come and go. I assume some marketing budget was involved; if not dollars, then probably product placement quid pro quo.
Shopping malls often have attached parking garages?
Unions having the power to force employees to join is what's authoritarian. If I want to work for a company, and the company wants to hire me, we should be free to enter into a contract. A third party shouldn't have the power to say "you can't unless you pay us dues".

And before you say "well not if the company and union entered into a contract that said the company would only hire union workers", that's not how it works today. The laws we have today give unions the power to unilaterally say that without the company agreeing, and this is what's bad and needs to go away.
This messes with my chronology a bit —- where did you get the mouse to work with this? Did it come with the software? Were mice prevalent on PCs before the Mac and Windows?
You're neglecting the decades of government policy that built out infrastructure for cars specifically, and neglected other modes of transportation. Of course people are going to drive if the government is pouring billions into making driving fast and convenient while transit, bike infrastructure, and dense housing are either neglected or actively undermined.

I wonder if Pandoc gets used as a shared library much... I think it's usually shelled out to honestly.
It really depends on the context of the building imo. If you have a grocery store with like a few spaces that are always full, vs one with a bunch of spaces, someone who is planning a big grocery load will probably opt to drive their car for two minutes to the big lot one vs walk 10 mins to the one without parking and walk back with a gallon of milk and all their groceries for their family of 4 for a week.

What you find in other countries that are denser is that people not only buy less things per trip and take more trips, but they are also cooking fewer meals at home than Americans and tend to eat out more for their meals. I think two things need to happen for that behavior to happen with Americans: shorter commutes so you actually have time to run to the grocery store more often than once a week, and more buying power from wages so you can actually regularly afford food you didn't personally prepare. Until those things happen, most americans will continue doing their errands once a week when they finally have time, and saving money making things at home vs ordering more prepared food and having a therefore smaller need for so many groceries in the first place.
A vertical taskbar is particularly useful when running on a screen with few pixel-equivalents (bad eyesight, or low angular view), a lot of software tends to break when going under 720 or even 768 equivalent-lines, this makes it less likely for important bottom buttons to end up "outside" of the screen.
> I’m not sure what you’re talking about w.r.t Europe. Even if you have friends that drive everywhere that just is not how most people live day-to-day.

I'm european and I've lived in several european countries. It's definitely how a huge percentage of the european population lives day to day.

Not even 40% of the european population lives in cities. 30% is towns + suburb and 30% is countryside/seaside/mountain/rural.

That's 60% right there where car is the de facto daily way of moving.

And even in cities like Brussels or Paris you have those who do use their car on a daily basis, for short trips (like going to drop/pick the kids at school a few kilometers away). Insane statistics (x% of all car trips in Brussels are for less than y kilometers with both x and y being very low: although I forgot the numbers).

I guess it depends on who your friends are but around me, in the various place I've lived in Europe, the car is totally king.
Unlike you, I don’t give two shits about Tesla. We could put Musk, Bezos, Putin, and a random Saudi prince in a line and shoot them all, execution style, and I would not give a fuck.

What I do care about is truth. I worship truth. It is my god. And you are a liar. You have an axe to grind against Tesla, and will pursue it in bad faith, by which I mean regardless of what facts are presented to you.

Tesla does not advertise. This is a truth. You are obsessed with Tesla. This is also a truth. But know what? You’re my project. I’m a zealot when it comes to the truth. It is, as I mentioned, my God. I want to do my holy duty. I want to fight some fuck stick on the Internet. So please continue to bring it on. Continue to use your rhetorical tricks, shift blame, and all the other tiresome tactics that trolls like you resort to.

Tesla does not advertise. They promote their products, but not through advertisements.

By the way: Ford uses WPP as their ad agency. Toyota uses Saatchi & Saatchi. Target uses Merkle.

Which advertising agency does Tesla use? For these advertisements you swear exist somewhere?
> I've learned products designed to replace spreadsheets have a huge hurdle because the people who use spreadsheets treat operating the sheet as their job. Replacing them removes their autonomy and control over an information process, and subsumes the value they bring to their employers - so they will resist products that threaten that. Excel is a complete management subculture.

Spreadsheets are better because as you say the owner is their job to maintain it. If you replace with an IT process the new "owner" is likely a below-average developer that probably is uninterested in the business. A few years down the road the usefulness of the replacement will suffer.
Title on HN doesn’t match the article’s original title, which is VERY different:

Fed-up managers declare WFH is over, as 77% say they’d fire you or cut your pay for not coming back to the office

Nothing about middle managers becoming irrelevant, moreso highlighting the dynamic between trying to bring workers back in office and worker leverage.
When I've seen 15 min time logging it's always been when time is billable. Have you seen cases outside of this?
Car culture is industry-engineered, not at all natural.

"go far, with little effort, directly where they want, independently" is bikes and public transit when the infrastructure is not car-centric.
In practice I think it's more Google now has another policy reason to banhammer prolific and irritating blogspammers than an arms race Google has a chance in.

Google isn't yet effective at detecting blogspam generated by naive scripts that simply swap words in the source material for other words in a thesaurus. I don't think they're going to start picking up continuity errors, factual errors or "weirdness" in GPT-3 - which often satisfies human readers - any time soon.
> And, why hasn't the EU shut off all oil and gas purchases from Russia immediately?

Because they let themselves get too dependent on foreign energy, so doing so would have meant letting their own people freeze.
It sounds like your suggesting that every team is made of high-performers. In my experience, it's only high-performers that can self-manage.
Why would you not want basic feedback loop built into a control system so it is not high maintenance?

Adding a say simple laser distance measurement sensor to make sure the piece is at the distance it is supposed to be is not difficult, computer vision and AI maybe overkill but a simple sensor ?

Also a lot of inspection seems to done by hand, while good inspectors can be smart about finding issues , Why not scan the entire car and see if there are abnormalities over accepted range ? it is like manual QA, I rather have automation suite rather that inconsistency of a manual process.

I am sure people are already thinking about it, Musk certainly was making a big push for more automation (and ran into a ton of difficulties )
I read those but was hoping for some more concrete questions. When I have a bug I just introduced, i usually already have telemetry in place. Obviously there's something wrong with my system view, since i expected to be testing a working system. I've heard of the scientific method but perhaps I should google/duckduck it to pimp that skill.

Really liking this editor! It's incredibly performant on Apple silicon for Go development. I'm not sure it is mature and feature-complete enough to take on Goland, but for a v1 release it looks promising.
I said I'm not using npm.

With my calculator flatpak I only have to trust one person and to a much lesser degree, because they declared that the calculator can't access my personal files to begin with. The same app in my distribution repository has full read-write access to all my users files, network access and much more. So yeah, I trust it more.

Distribution maintainers are nothing but a middle man, which don't even audit the code they package, so there's nothing I gain from them.
If your kid draws a picture for you, do you tell them it's terrible?
Why would it be? International workers have the same labor rights that American workers do.
Sounds like there's no other choice in Kyiv. In any US city there are hundreds of buildings with parking that people could choose to live in if that's what they want.
Sorry but global remote work didn’t need to prove the Dilbert principle and Gervais rule. I’m willing to bet more people will leave jobs purely because they feel stuck behind an incompetent manager. Who wants to waste years of their life not growing?

ICs have virtually the most power in most companies at higher levels of seniority. The demand demonstrates that, but more importantly, more people should stand up for themselves when they have a shitty manager. Life isn’t long enough to be a doormat.

There are good managers out there. They are very rare. If you have one, keep them. If you don’t, look for one. Your mental health will thank you later.

It's probably a telemetry thing.
