I guess I confused the issue by referring it as the "radeon driver", but I meant to implicate the radeon.ko kernel module, not the radeon(4) Xorg driver. The servers I'm talking about don't even have X installed (they're Ceph OSD nodes).
Not to mention that it is quite clear why both companies have loads of cash.
Increasing housing stock doesn't imply sprawling outwards (e.g., replace a detached house with an apartment/condo complex), and anyway housing stock is probably a negligible contributor to climate change and habitat destruction (presumably forestry, agriculture, heavy industry, fossil fuel energy, etc are far larger culprits).
Most of those internal combustion engine maintenance parts simply do not exist one electric vehicles. You still need maintenance to fix / replace them, and that does not exist for most of those. The transmission on say a Tesla is a single speed and significantly simpler as a result.

As an example, the tesla model 3 warranty is 4 yr/50,000 mi basic, 8 yr/100,000 mi powertrain.

By comparison, the BMW M4 warranty is 4 yr/50,000 mi basic, 4 yr/50,000 mi powertrain.

Now the powertrain warranty being twice that of BMWs tells me they expect it to last at least that long. Perhaps I'm misreading something here?

The oldest teslas with the most miles are primarily taxis. I'm not sure I'd call a taxicab a "babied" vehicle.

Why this focus on list price?

In a hot market with little supply, a list price is a marketing tool to get people into the door, and for a selling realtor to be able to brag about how good they are.

That’s it. It has been like that for years. It doesn’t make sense to post a list price that is too high or accurate (unless you don’t want the hassle to deal with multiple bidders.)

1500 sqft houses in my formerly middle class SV neighborhood are listed at $2.5M and sell for $3.5M within a week. Everybody knows that this $2.5M is imaginary. If you want to know what a house will really sell for, just look at the sales of the past 2 months. It’s a much better indicator.

The web3 stuff sure does look like fads to me.

Early 2010s tech boom, while it involved a lot of money, felt like it was directing money at generally useful things. Cloud, Big Data, AI etc. were “buzzwords” but were generating real value for companies that used them correctly. It seemed like VCS had learned from 2000s.

With web3 we see a lot of vaporware and pyramid schemes. It is unlikely to pop like it did back then considering how entrenched technology is today but it would still wipe out a lot of value and further entrench the bigger companies.
Damn. That's a bummer. I want a 3rd screen but I am pretty spoiled by 120hz now. It's so easy on the eyes.
Pretty much any collectible could be called a pyramid scheme. It doesn't really matter in the long run. Humans like these things because they attach value to them as irrational as it might be.

Why instead start thinking about a damn really spread infra?! Or why the hell doing WFH against a central infra instead of having a spread one?

Surely demand a big infra change, but it's a nonsense working in a distributed manner with a non-distributed infra/tools.

Don't think so, there's an absurd amount of money in the world, mostly owned by a few rich people, and rich people aren't just going to let it sit idle without trying to invest it in something.

> Labour party antisemitism goes way beyond criticism of isreal, including support for hezbollah and hamas.

corbyn famously laid a wreath on the grave of a hamas fighter[1]. an interpretation - more in line with how corbyn has historically treated war and violence - reads:

> "They insist Jeremy Corbyn was at the service to commemorate the Palestinians who were killed in an Israeli airstrike in 1985"

i'll leave "support for palastine is equivalent to antisemitism" argument to the side here, needless to say i don't think i'm unique in thinking that this isn't the case.

> Jeremy Corbyn faces fury after praising ‘brilliant’ book which claims Jews control world banks

if this is in reference to the hobson book foreword, then, this would be very similar in nature to calling me misogynistic for recommending the 1st edition K&R C book, because it presumes the programmer is a man.

the book in question, Imperialism, is a treatise on how capatilism causes imperialism. which does sound like something corbyn would be interested in. i implore you to read it and tell me how antisemitic it is.

> Corbyn also backed the artist behind the mural clearly depicting evil jews controlling the world like a board game:

look at the damn mural![2] where is the antisemitic message? it's literally called "freedom for humanity". it seems clear to me that this is a complaint on the power the rich have over the rest of us.

every single one of the threads i've ended up going down over years has always been a variation on: corbyn, or the labour party, is decried as antisemitic for something. this "something" is rarely made clear or obvious when it gets media coverage. surface level investigation makes claims of antisemitism look not particularly strong.

in the meantime, i need to learn advanced memory keeping techniques to keep track of conservative government scandals from the last 6 months.

> The excusing away of this behaviour on HN is crazy, it's not just about isreal. Not by a long shot.

if corbyn is antisemitic, then let me be clear: fuck him. it would be at odds though with his otherwise radical socialist and humanitarian track record: views on which he has been remarkably consistent on for the majority of his political career. somehow, even today.

the only thing that seems crazy to me is just how effective the campaign against him was.

You should probably first assess whether or not your organization is open to that kind of structure. Smaller companies sometimes opt toward looser development practices since it’s easier to know who did what, and, the flexibility of looser systems is nice.

TLDR adding structure isn’t always the answer. Your team/org needs to be open to that.
It's popular on HN because it's VC-backed, and VCs regularly "pump" their investments by writing articles and posting them to HN. Here's one from A16z about the idea of monetizing passion projects:

I'd wager it's also popular on HN because of the current debate about free speech online and 'cancel culture'. Substack is the upstart here against the stodgy big media status quo, so that will always pull in some level of ideological support.

Supply and demand isn't going to change. You can build up instead of out, but I think the point was there's insufficient supply.
Yes, but unironically.

Societal and cultural understandings of what "tech" is has shifted dramatically in the last 20 years. Home computers were still pretty niche, constant connectivity via pocket size computers was a work of science fiction, and we didn't have an omnipresent internet retailer that could bring you nearly anything in a few hours/a couple days.

The possibilities of the internet and tech companies were still in their formulative stage with regards to the general population. It's now so engrained in our daily lives that it's taken for granted.

I suspect the bubbles that will actually burst are going to be incredible niche. Even then, things like NFTs may survive due to a cultural imagination that allows ideas to live on longer than maybe they should.
I hope others feel the deep irony in not considering Tesla, a company whose technology has revolutionized the transportation industry, a "tech" company, but every mobile-app-of-the-month company somehow should be.

There is enough vacant housing in China to house Spain. Prices are going to drop, probably.

It’s better to look at this from China’s vantage point. Truly, enough housing to house Spain is not enough. Perhaps for Spain it is, but we’re talking about housing China - 1bn people.

As for tech, I don’t think we’re even close to saturating the globe with technology. We’re in such an infancy that we literally need something like Starlink to get everyone connected.

We’re nowhere close to it.

The difference is that the graphical watermark on e.g. a photograph usually isn't there when you've paid for it.

> There is enough vacant housing in China to house Spain.

This sounds bad off-hand but you have to consider the scale of China. Spain's population is roughly 3% of China. 3% of the US population is 10 million, which is less than the 16 million vacant homes in the US (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/10/realestate/vacancy-rate-b...). And that's still a generous comparison since more than 1 person lives in a home.
Someone on twitter once posed the question "what percent of the profits from profitable tech companies come from revenue from non-profitable ones?"

I've found in looking at problems in general it helps to try to take a systems perspective. If you only look one step back everything makes sense and is fine, but when you start looking at the larger flows of everything is when you start to think that maybe the accounting doesn't all work out.
I suppose the main issue here from a legal perspective is the definition of a goal that can even be verified externally in case of disagreement, for instance by a judge. Hours of presence, on the other side, are quite objectively measurable (although becoming harder in a remote-work setting).

I would like to add more subjectively: as a company, I would also be afraid that contracts defining payment based on piece work result in an army of quasi-consultants. This might push the company towards: optimize your efforts against some agreed-upon metrics (see the previous point about goals), and go home. I suppose there is some benefit for a (software) company if its employees spend time at work "slacking" such that they might actually find useful things to do that none of their managers might ever notice.

On a more serious note, I would have counted the Russians in the group of competent armies. Maybe they were during the cold war, Afghanistan is not really a good measure. Maybe they were not, no way to ever find out. All being said, I'm happy that we never found out so far. Because one thing is sure, finding out involves turning whatever region is used to find out into a war zone.

> What doesn't happen everywhere and every time is a rogue nation attacking their neighbors and killing civilians using laughable pretexts while the real goal is to take control of a very resourceful and industrialized area (Donbas) to be used to help the already poor Russian economy.

This is one side of the story. The Ukrainian side. There is another side to that, in which the pro-Russian part of the Ukrainian population was silenced. Before Maidan 2014 the biggest party was pro-Russian (30%) and after Maidan they were forbidden to exist. The people of the Donbas have been terrorized by Ukrainian military. Ukrainians who have nazi training camps for children (there is a whole documentary about them from The Guardian on YT).

> The enemy is the Russian government and the rich oligarchy behind it

Same with the Iraq wars, Libya, Vietnam, Afganistan and the US. Let call out all oppressors.

But then the Kiev government since 2014 also needs to be called out for the atrocities on the Donbas.

You don't need crypto for that. If your answer is incentive, I'm not so sure you need that either.

The UI and experience is generally pretty good, and it feels quite a lot like what Medium could have been but failed hard at. It's simple and does what it sets out to do well, which is pretty rare considering how bad most content-driven platforms have become. If you want to subscribe to the content of a specific writer, it's an easy and direct way to do that.

As a platform it's host to a lot of the kinds of semi-philosophical writing of the sort that the hacker news audience tends to rate highly, which is why you'll see it pop up a lot here. The "pro-freedom-of-speech" or "anti-censorship" stuff you'll probably see in the responses is a little overblown generally – but since it's an individual publishing platform for writers (rather than a distinct media presence in its own right) you're more likely to see views that more mainstream publications don't want to promote. Again, something that the HN crowd is pretty hot on.

(I will say generally that a Hacker News post from a Substack domain at this point has become a bit of a negative signal for me in the same way that Medium has – except instead of suffering through a terrible React tutorial you'll be sitting through a contrarian middlebrow essay. But of course exceptions abound and YMMV).
