> incentivizing developers to build affordable housing

But that's unnecessary. If developers build more luxury housing, that'll reduce the price of existing housing, such that it becomes affordable.
The writer of the story said only 13% of people worked from home. The real number is 32%.
Why would inflation for the world match the US?

Theoretically, everything can be expressed in dollars - and GDP often is - but I think you're oversimplifying things.
I will say, having spent (wasted) a few minutes parsing some of those issue threads, the attitude of the comments basically trying to strong-arm the author into using GPL kind of sucks, it's approaching a realization of all those delusional blogposts I read in the mid 00's about how the "viral nature" of GPL code is a threat to muh precious code I've written myself. At the very least, tell CE to not use the GPL'ed portions (I mean, from what I found, the actual violations are simple things, one is a script to convert text formats, another is literally a list of op-codes) and have them use something else or roll their own, those pieces shouldn't be hard to self-write.

I'm team free software and GPL code makes it more likely that people will GPL their code, but this sort of mobbing/bullying shouldn't be the way to do it. Let people make the decision because it is technically superior to do so, and sure ask people but bullying like this seems counter-productive.

As an aside for the tcc bits, they're right, tcc is lgpl, but it is odd that parts of it are stamped GPL proper, so I'm not sure what the protocol is there...is that an improper inclusion of GPL'ed code into a LGPL project? That would be tcc's fault then...
Why a fork and not a configuration?
It is also a lot easier to get cancelled and deplatformed. There needs to be the equivalent of a golden handcuff/insurance for crowdfunded content creators.
If people can only get the software by buying it, you are pretty much "asking" them to do something. Just because you are not interacting with them does not mean you are not doing sales.
This is the way in Japan. They drink the soup using the bowl and chopstick to pick up the parts. No spoons.
Yes, but overall the RTSP implementation is absolutely terrible. Wyze cameras are a novelty, but any permanent implementation should use something better.
> And how often do you here stories of viruses from Linux users?

How often do you hear stories of people switching from Windows to Linux? You and I are not relevant, the median user is, and the median user doesn't even understand your comment.

The Android (and others) permission model is more than just an arbitrary constraint, it does bring real security benefits, and plain Linux is just not there yet.

> SELinux can sandbox your app and prompt you for permissions. No one does this because it's just not necessary the way most people use typical GNU/Linux distros.

No one (well, almost) does this because it's a pain and you're not even sure what you get out of it. Compare with the Android installation prompt where the permissions are explicitly spelled out before you click "install", and where the OS can meaningfully take them back eventually.

House prices are greatly artificially inflated by zoning restrictions, and this is seriously hurting western people going forward. However, a smart 18 year old can still work towards making $200k/yr compensation as a software engineer within a few years, even remote, where single family homes on an 8k sqft. lot are $400k across the US.
I use IKEA wireless stuff (which in turn use Zigbee) and, outside of a relatively slim range of products, they work great. Good quality stuff, easy to set up, and continue to work even if my internet cuts out.
Yeah, I do, the last few days, just in my comments. You know what? You came up with a terrific idea, I'll just post stories. I'll need to remove the char limit on my posts though. It's quite relevant to Hacker News I believe, I was super into this forum then, dead set on dropping out of Stanford to do Y Combinator, visited HN every time I had access to the computers, and maybe it can refresh memories.

I don't think he said that offices foster collaboration is a myth. He said (which I agree) is that an office fosters collaboration for some people and it does not foster collaboration for other people and that it is in the best interest of a company's shareholders if they evaluate and consider the opinions of its workers who are on both sides of the spectrum.

This is really cool - the generated config turned out shorter than just my .spacemacs config file which makes it feel accessible. I like it.
Yikes. That means either (a) older people are more likely to think people are guilty despite the evidence, (b) younger people are more likely to think people are innocent despite the evidence, or (c) both. And considering those both include the phrase "despite the evidence", I reiterate my "yikes" once more.

Try the HP “z” devices. They aren’t Macs, but are way better than Dell stuff at most price points. Metal, decent build quality, many are upgradable. They are mobile workstations, but have some lighter options.

Usually if you go for the workstations, they have a longer lifecycle and get some engineering TLC, the CAD/GIS/high end audience usually has its own budget and doesn’t skinflint as much as normal corporate IT.

Lenovo is overrated and Dell sells so many models that you need to do alot of homework to figure out what is good and what is junk.

It's a major component of the supply side of the equation, and one which is controlled by policies. And it's not like you proposed "close borders completely!" or "send people back". There's a limit as it is. How is changing that limit going forward any more xenophobic than blocking foreign investors?

> I shouldn't need to download an app to a smartphone for something that I exclusively intend to use on a desktop.

I see where you're coming from here and mostly agree. However, I will say that as someone who already had the Cash App installed the process was pretty seamless. The only major item I would change is that it would be nice to have some way to import a CSV or XLS file (or even JSON) for the capital gains forms. They offer an online spreadsheet but you still have to fill out each cell individually. If you have a few dozen trades (or more) to report it gets rather tiresome and could even be a bit error-prone.

I suppose I could have scripted the data entry with keyboard macros (via xdotool[0]), but for something I only do once per year it probably wouldn't be worthwhile… and the interface could be different next year.

At my old workplace we had a few multi-TB tables with several billion rows in a vanilla RDS MySql 5.7 instance (although it was obviously a sizable instance type), simple single-row SELECT queries on an indexed column (ie SELECT * FROM table WHERE external_id = 123;) would be low single-digit milliseconds.

Proper indexing is key of course, and metrics to find bottlenecks.

Very ordinary detached family homes in decent shape pretty much anywhere in Ontario are near a million dollars or more. If people could buy a family home for vaguely affordable prices in even the most remote parts of the province, people would flock there. There's plenty of land, but getting permission to build anything in much of Canada is a difficult and slow process, even in remote areas.
This looks interesting but would be much better if it just went with use-package across the board.

You also have not enabled many of the modes that you install which will be a not fun experience for the newbies you are targeting.

Use-package could actually help a lot in your backend generation code I think (ie because consistent data model).

evil-collection would be a good add as well as quite a few evil quality of life items.
Thank you. This is super useful.
The Emacs built-in “Customize” tool is very close to that, and there’s also the built-in package manager. I guess this kind of generator could be implemented inside Emacs itself as a “starter package” instead of a web page, would be pretty cool.
I'm not sure you can draw a parallel between those two things. Is there any evidence that induced demand applies to housing as well?

I would think it might to some degree, but there would be several cut-off points, as living conditions change with more density, and people who previously wanted to move to a place might not like how a place changes as density increases.

With a highway, you can add as many lanes as you want, and the experience of driving on it isn't changed much.

Depends what stage you're at in the pipeline.

One of the biggest problems facing new artists is local live music is dying. I'm talking about music at bars and clubs. It's not completely dead, but it's not what it once was. Now people are happy, or maybe even happier, to have a DJ. Unfortunately the best way to improve your musical skills is to play with other musicians in a live setting - and there's less opportunity for that. There's simply fewer musicians able to even get started.

You've gotten started, you're playing with a group of people, been playing some gigs - now what? You want to record! Get your music out there! I'm not going to go into all the details of recording but let me just say it's neither easy, nor cheap. It's gotten even more expensive these days because while the quality of the music itself may be suffering, the quality of the production is skyrocketing. This is similar to the gripe in movies where people complain the special effects are awesome but the actual story kinda sucks. But people don't want movies having crumby special effects - they want both: great special effects and a great story line. So it is with music. People want great production and great music. Well, you're going to pay to get that great production!

Maybe that's a bit of the modern music biz you don't know much about. The producers get paid up front. So do the distributors. Who pays for it? The musicians. The musicians now have their recording in hand, they've distributed their music to Amazon Music, Apple Music, Google Play, Spotify, Pandora, and a host of other lesser-known platforms. What happens? They get pirated. Most of the time they don't even break even. For most musicians, recording and distributing your music is a net financial loss. If you're lucky it may increase traffic to your live gigs.

Honestly, when you throw in the cost of gear and the years spent practicing and playing to get good enough to be presentable to the public - it's no wonder fewer and fewer people are going into music. That's our loss.

Does illegally downloading songs in and of itself cause this collapse? Probably not. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's the last straw breaking the camel's back.

Thanks for your reply and other people’s replies. I have rethought my position, and have changed my mind. Having a mandated 32 or 36 hour a week work-week has some advantages, including something not mentioned here in the replies: it is healthy having work to do and with more AI and automation, it makes sense to share available work. Most of my family and friends think that I am very wrong about this: I expect a good future for most people. I think technology will fix climate change, and I believe that AI and automation will give most people the opportunity to do human stuff: cooking, sports, fellowship, etc. In my little world view, politics and greed-driven inequality are the big problems to solve.
Hmm, but if we’re suspended in a homogeneous “soup” of Dark Matter, the surely such forces would cancel out?

Do we except Dark Matter to be distributed inhomogeneously around the Solar System? I thought it is only in homogenous at ~galactic scales.
Seriously more people need to realise this. Is there a shortage of interesting problems to solve? No. Then why do we keep spending our valuable energy on trivial things.

What I do is I think about the massive challenges like climate change and then compare it with what I'm doing. Immediately makes me realise what is worth my time and what is not.

Climate change was just one example. There are some things in my personal life that are just as scary as climate change for me. Immediately snaps me out of wasting my time.

I think there's a small error in the calculation. The article is from 2020. So looks like he hit 100k about 1 year after leaving his full time job. Using his current sponsor count of 832 and the minimum sponsorship level of $14 he's making $138k/year.

With all that said. There is definitely some survivor bias here. He found a great niche and a appears to already have had an audience which helps tremendously compared to starting from scratch. Not everyone will have the same success experience.

Hoping I can get a similar thing going in the near future.

No, winning the lottery is the definition of luck, the lotteries spend a lot of money making sure that's true. There's nothing a person could do (besides play more) that increases their chance of winning.

But I believe that long-lived people are more than just "lucky", there's some physiological difference (possibly coupled with environmental differences) that makes the difference between people that eat similar diets and have much different levels of health/longevity.

I'll just never understand how any of this works. I know it is trained on millions of existing images, but when you say "... a bowl ..." in your prompt, how does it decide what the bowl should look like? Does it pick one of the bowls it's seen at random? It doesn't ever quite draw the same bowl twice, does it? Is it somehow "imagining" a bowl, the way a human would, and some all new image of a bowl pops into its "head"?
I think it boils down entirely to pure individual chance. Someone may be a chain smoker and die naturally. That does not obviate the medical fact that smoking increases the chances of lung cancer. It is like rolling a die - you can estimate probabilities but that your dice will land two 6's are purely based on the event. Yet, done over a couple of thousand trials we definitely know it happens 1 per 36 tries on average.

In cases such as your MIL, maybe she's less prone to gastric inflammation. That simple fact reduces her chances of other serious ailments. Its a biological chain reaction after all. Cancer is strongly linked to chronic inflammation.
Great, so every poor person or student or new worker will have to come up with downpayments and bank loans, or be homeless. Brilliant solution.

> I understand you have a next book, but you have to answer this question. There is not a Gen 6 fab. There is not a Gen 10.5 fab. There is not a factory that is making anything that is known to anyone, as far as we can tell. If you had just said, “We are going to make a Gen 6 fab,” I think everyone would have been like, “Okay, where is it?” There isn’t one. The idea that it is the Evers administration, that business climate changed, or that Wisconsin was the wrong choice — which is what you are suggesting right now — that is all on Foxconn. If you chose wrong and should have chosen Ohio because of politics, it is still on Foxconn. If you decided 10.5 was not going to work out and Gen 6 was better, and you could not convince the Evers administration that you were actually going to build an LCD factory. What we have heard from that administration is that you never engaged or told them anything. So where is the accountability here for there not being a factory?

It sounds like the interviewer has already decided what the right answer is. And not to defend Yeung here, but the argument here is pretty asinine. A new administration came in and killed the deal - and it's their fault for not anticipating this? Is he on trial for both helping make the deal and letting it fail?
Esperanto didn't try to eliminate ideas by deleting the words for them. The language you're looking for is Newspeak.
Definitely. As a smallish mid terrace, our house has very little exterior wall space that isn’t already taken up with doors and windows. Air source heat pumps are being pushed by people with well insulated semi or fully detached houses with space for a tank and who have the cash to splash on the work that would be needed to replace a compact combi boiler.

If someone can work out a more compact system that could perhaps go in our loft then that might work, but that would probably require roofing work to accommodate the largish ducting that you would need.

I’m all in favour of decarbonising, but it needs to take into account how mostbof is actually live. For example, I’d love an electric car, but we don’t have off street parking, so can’t guarantee charging up overnight.

> Using "inclusive" as a terminal value for writing means that other values, such as "conciseness" and "clarity" and "beauty" decrease, for the same amount of effort.

Do you have any data that points to this? It's not clear that there is a zero-sum game here, or that conciseness and inclusiveness are diametrically opposite goals with metrics that completely cancel each other out.
Those laws are usually about eavesdropping, and most states (e.g. my state of Illinois) have carveouts for a "reasonable expectation of privacy" (though I found something saying Montana doesn't?). Recording people inside an Illinois hotel room, felony eavesdropping. Recording audio in the hotel lobby, irrelevant. I think you'd have an extremely uphill battle that says a mic outside was "knowingly and intentionally" used to eavesdrop. You would then also need to demonstrate one of:

1. it was done purposefully to eavesdrop (no, it was meant to record birds)
2. it was done to record/transmit/overhear the conversation
3. even if inadvertent, someone used/disclosed anything in the private conversation heard

If all the audio is getting processed to be maybe this or that bird, and the raw feed isn't stored, let alone rehosted, I don't think there's an issue.
