> AirBnb is basically another mean of accruing wealth in the hands of landowners, while people who don't own anything are now in an even harder situation, so I'm happy someone is stealing something from AirBnb, they negatively "disrupted" the lives of milions in order to create their market.

Wait, in whose pockets did tourists's money end up before Airbnb? In the pockets of non-landowners? No, in the pockets of hoteliers, so still landowners.

Airbnb took a chunk of hoteliers' market (so good, right?) but also created a new market. A new market in which people who previously couldn't rent (because not enough capital to be a hotelier) can now do it and thus new market for tourists who previously couldn't travel (because less competition and possibilities).
I talk little bit about that in my introductory post[1]. Basically my interest in Emacs, Rust, and interpreters came to together and I decided to see what I could do. I was also inspired by the remacs project[2] and I think Rust has a lot to offer as dynamic language backend. I don't know where this will go, but I am going to continue to work on it.

They should probably check for translation issues across books because one of the cities listed in the graphics is “Providencia RI” which is most likely referencing “Providence RI”. I assume it’s not a popular literary destination, but it appears that none of its references are in English or the books are actually referencing a Providencia Island, which there are a few of, but none of which are in RI nor the US?
LISTA DE 1000 GRUPOSDE WHATSAPP COMPRA VENTA PERU

Based on the post, he was on his 4th year, and his current number of monthly paid subscriber was 810 for 4$ a month (thus less than 40k$ a year)...

I got a feeling that he just didn't see an opening toward making this viable against YNAB. An important fact is that YNAB increased their pricing recently, which caused quite a bit of stir up and an exodus to competitors. Everything was in his favor, cheaper than YNAB, people were freely advertising his app. As he mentioned he started to try to implement Plaid, I guess he did the math and found out that he would get too close to YNAB price (for sure it's going to be a few dollars a month)...
The average person actually exists. They should have reality based skills and knowledge in self sufficiency.

Low effort consumerism, freedom to, takes freedom from others.

Freedom to be yourself cannot cost others freedom from the same. We’re a caste system that uses concepts like net worth as the measure instead of religious sigils and totems.

Freedom to sit at home on a laptop takes freedom from others in measurable ways; making less for work laptoppers want to avoid but need is kind of a joke system.

Remember millions of real people are being pinched harder and harder. That’s never ended well in human history. You can’t simply point at a philosophy and demand well understood biology to deal with it forever.

What’s hyperbolic is a defense squishy meat bags very much like passed squishy meat bags aren’t just larping the same old. That somehow magically it’s all different.

Keeping stats in the right place just makes truism out of political bias.
Ghost of Kyiv dies in battle ‘after shooting down 40 Russian aircraft’
There is data on excess mortality and the answer is, a lot. This is also why the with/from covid debate is pointless. If 100.000 people have died more than they would usually die, then no matter if they died due to covid or their condition was aggravated by it, that's 100.000 more people dying than in a year without covid.
Redb – An embedded key-value database in pure rust
This isn't progress, it's exporting the work that has to be done, someone has to grow potatoes. We have exported that hard work to poor people across the globe at horrible cost. Cost to the environment, cost to stability, cost to geo-political safety. Someone has to have their hands in the dirt, we act like it's progress because it's cheap and fragile because we don't have to do the work. Is it progress to pay artificially low prices on beef or bananas because poor people in the global south are destroying the rain forests to raise crops? Cause that's the only way the modern JIT system works right now.
Yep once you lose the trust, it’s over. There’s plenty of players out there that can offer the same.
But people write "low-effort attempts" at exception handlers all the time. So using exceptions instead of error values doesn't actually change the situation.
SafeButler (YC S17) is hiring a digital marketing associate
It seems obvious, but I'll accept disagreements as a way to learn. While we aspire to build anti-fragile systems, there are real sort term incentives to building efficient fragile systems. Capitalistic incentives exactly like evolutionary pressures, have no responsibility to provide solutions which match our views on how the way the world should work, what's fair, and what's just. I find it personally difficult to assume that a business owner when faced with the a series of micro-choices each of which impacts profit could not choose to maximize profit the majority of the time even at the expense of robustness or anti-fragility. It's this garden path optimization that leads to catastrophic outcomes like supply chain paralysis or bankruptcy.
So the person who decides what chips to buy is now everyone's friend.
The price is where I am finding myself hesitant to switch unless I find something that has a life changing feature (like features for couples).

Copilot had a price hike to $9 a month (or $70 a year I believe) but grandfathered everyone who had a subscription for $3 a month "for life" (as long as you have an active subscription).

I do keep hearing great things about YNAB and I don't mind paying for it, but if they are being that aggressive on raising pricing that is concerning.

Exactly. I've used Terraform, Ansible, Chef, and a couple of hybrids extensively and my current opinion is that for simple use cases a strict DSL is great, but as soon as you need to something higher (usually some sort of looping over a complex data structure and populating fields from those values) it gets real painful.

Terraform is getting better at the loops and stuff but I still have a bunch of code from older versions of terraform that are erb templates that output terraform files, thus allowing to use Ruby functions. That was/is probably the least evil solution I've seen. The worst is when the infrastructure or devops team (or someone else) decides, "we need to abstract this away with our own tool."
interview with the parents: https://text.npr.org/2022/03/24/1088446883/remembering-ukrai...
That's not a claim I made in my comment.

OP said "you're not entitled by law to take a hammer back if it doesn't work as you expect it to" and that's false, if it's sold as a hammer it needs to serve the ordinary purpose of a hammer, and that is covered by law in most jurisdictions (US/EU at the minimum).

Whether you could argue that a post-sale EULA (or EULA change) that renders the device inoperable for its ordinary purpose invokes merchantability is an interesting argument though, and that really gets back to "how much money do you have for lawyers", "how much are they willing to try and test their EULA's validity", etc. Tractors are probably an interesting example there (don't remember if it's been brought up here or not).

I think the big problem there is that merchantability is a claim against the merchant, and while you'd probably get your money back if you disagreed with the EULA a week after the sale, what happens if John Deere pushes an update a year after you buy the tractor and it's de-facto bricked at that point if you don't agree? The situation with software makes the whole thing so much more complicated, and the law is different there around ownership in general (you don't own the software, you have a license to use the software, but the tractor doesn't work without the software either).

It's shitty and the "ownership" situation with software really needs significant reform (that will never happen in the US). Ownership of a software license needs to be brought closer to ownership of a physical good, but that will break the business models of a lot of companies who will lobby to make sure that never happens.
Nothing for Gettysburg? Really? I am certain there are many books set in Gettysburg.
Well they haven't tested any of their assumptions in the field and their atmospheric chemistry cycle diagram has some bullshit reaction mechanisms so it is pretty much shit.

Also the following statement surprisingly lacks any mention of anything related to atmospheric or earth scientists:

This is splitting hairs. You are forcibly invested in social security so you have to pay it even if the numbers indicate you won't be able to get anything back out from it. If the distinction between this and a Ponzi scheme is having the information it's a mighty fine distinction when you have zero ability to act on the information you have.

> Why would anyone buy them? They will -> 0 like everything else.

Agreed that generating token demand is one the main challenges. It's going to be very hard. After reaching a certain level of adoption, token value should become partly self-sustaining, and then newly minted tokens have value - this is how fiat currencies work (which have the benefit of being the only way to pay taxes, which we don't).

But how to get to that critical mass? We have several solution directions, and will probably need a combination of them to work. We'll elaborate this further in the draft whitepaper soon. One of the solution directions that could be key especially in the early stages is a social movement of people that buy (and start using) the token because they agree with the mission of the project and want it to succeed. Adopting GLO is one of the most direct ways for individuals to contribute to a pro-UBI cause. This will only ever be a fraction of the total demand, of course, but can be a solid base to help solve the cold start problem.
That sounds like a non-solution. Especially the reference to "the" free market, such a thing does not exist. You can't just take whatever market we have, with all its imperfections and then slap the label "free market" on it, it doesn't work that way.

If something is unfair, you shouldn't call it fair because of ideology.

For example, my primary objection to the idea that we have a free market is that we are mortal and are born with basic needs that must partially be acquired from the last generation. If people need land to live on, and land is owned by old people, then the young must appeal to the old to be allowed to exist on this planet. At that point, any attempt to call the market we have "free" becomes completely absurd because the term "free" now refers to the freedom of letting someone else take your freedom away.

In fact, most "free market" attempts are entirely about sweeping the problem under the rug and pretending it doesn't exist, which only makes it worse due to negligence. Just drop the damn "free", in Germany people just talk about the "market" in general. They just say "market economy". In fact one of the most common sarcastic phrases is "Der Markt regelt das", "the market is going to fix that" when talking about market failures.

In theory I agree that a free(=freedom) market would be good for everyone, but the amount of people that want a free(=freedom) market is incredibly small. Capitalists don't want a free(=freedom) market for example, because that would be the end of capitalism. They want a free(=without cost to capitalists) market, which is inherently against the idea of maximizing freedom and self determination.

Take Say's Law for example. If we postulate that Say's Law is correct and involuntary unemployment is impossible, then for our market to be "free(=freedom)", we should make it impossible to let the economy reach states that make involuntary unemployment possible. That means the ability to indefinitely defer spending shouldn't exist beyond the point that people agree to let someone defer spending. That would immediately break the idea of endless capital accumulation. Capital accumulation would have to stop at some point and that means the end of capitalism.

Who here is ready for the end of capitalism? Does anyone want to live in a market economy that isn't capitalism? Just a regular market? I doubt anyone is.
Money is fungible but how its accounted for isn’t. I’m not an expert in the regs around margin accounts but have worked in other spaces where my company was holding money for others.

It is usually strictly regulated. In some jurisdictions you must hold it in specific accounts that have particular attributes and you must have dollar for dollar parity between the account and the money you collect. In almost every situation where you are holding money for someone else you aren’t allowed to use it to pay your own debts. And in this case the collateral obligation is on Robinhood not on their account holders.
>> I think it's more likely that Robinhood's rapid rise was fueled by COVID boredom.

Agreed. The half dozen people I know who were kind of on the back end of this before they locked up trading made some money off it. Not a lot, but nothing to sneeze at either. Once the whole saga went nuclear, they decided to close out their accounts. Most waited for everything to settle out, sold off all their positions and cashed out.

They haven't been back. It feels a lot like a normal trading cycle. I'm sure the same thing would've eventually happened where people found something else that caught their attention, but the whole GME saga I think speed up a lot of people into other things.

COVID had a weird effect where people found a lot of things to do they normally would not have been doing. Now that things have subsided somewhat, people are moving on from those things and going back to the activities and hobbies they were doing pre-COVID.
In Germany you may want to consider that the employer pays another approx. 20% on top of your salary, by law. So if your salary is EUR 100k, your employer actually pays 120k to keep you on board. Money that your employer could otherwise add to your payout as he’s paying all off it anyway _for_ you, right?

Now with 42% income tax of a 100k salary, there’s a net of 58k arriving at your bank account over a year.

Given that your employer pays 120k, you have actually “lost” 62k (not just 42k) to the government and insurances. With that maths, the _net_ tax (incl. insurances) is actually close to 52%. That is a whopping net +10% taxes from the math in the parent post.
>Despite a generally higher cost of living in Europe, salaries across the board are lower.

I was more responding to that idea: everything is more expensive, and everyone is making a lot less (not just the top quintile). Seems like a bad trade, but that's just my $0.02

I don't think it's necessarily the HN moderation team's job to tell us what we should and should not find interesting. It's a crowdsourced news aggregation site and discussion forum, not a magazine with an editorial board.

That's fundamentally not how HN works, though. It's neither just crowdsourced nor just editorially curated. This thing ends up being a dupe fairly straightforwardly, it's not some weird edge case. Any big front page discussion naturally has a lot of people interested in keeping the discussion going.
This website, which doesn't list any information on their funding or background, does claim the right to sell all your data to anybody should you be stupid enough to buy their merchandise, is a blatantly obvious right-wing content farm.

Searching for reclaimthenet.org on Google lists HN on the first page of results even when I'm logged out. I guess this is disinformation that hits all the right buttons for this crowd.

What I don’t generally get is why Go when there is Java already? Like other than the somewhat smaller memory footprint that is not inherent to the language, but the runtime — in what way is Go better that could not have been a Java library? Hell, with Google’s resources one other GC/mode could be added to OpenJDK that prioritizes memory footprint (at the expensive of throughput - there is no free lunch).

Sure, Java has some warts but it is a very easy and small language, the reflection-based frameworks are not at all mandatory, Java can be quite expressive without those as well and it is extremely performant. Once value types get included it will be really hard to get ahead of Java.
No, in those manuals (from around 1965) there was nothing about archaeological discoveries.

Moreover, the use of skis is not the same with organized skiing competitions and special training methods for them.

Also, it was not enough to claim that all kinds of ancient inventions were due to Russians, the claims were that they were due to Russian peasants, because of course nothing good could have originated in Russian "enemies of the people", e.g. aristocrats or bourgeoisie.

Used YNAB4 + 5 for several years and it never really took. I use Tiller.com now - puts all your data into a Google Sheet or Cloud Excel sheet.

It has a bunch of extensions that you can use for budgeting, emailing daily transactions, reporting, optimizing debt payoffs using various different methods, etc.

Plus it's just a spreadsheet, so sorting/filtering etc just work. And it's as fast as having a large Google Sheet. So pretty darn fast.
Because someone has to know how to grow the potato or raise the cow or plant the corn. Right now we (modern first world countries) export that to fragile processes far away. Generally at great cost, environmentally and to the people/countries we export form. See the Amazon rainforest, slave labor in China or Africa, or un-controlled overfishing.
>Is it also an entirely different instruction set? How does it compare to x86 and ARM in terms of performance?

It's a bit of a mixed bag. I'd say if macro op fusion turns out to be viable, it can become the fastest of the three, if not, it will be somewhere between ARM and x86 due to its unique compression scheme. This obviously depends on your particular chip. Apple is way ahead of Qualcomm on the same ISA.
I think the quote marks were there to indicate that this was walking through a hypothetical thought process that someone might go through. (It proceeds on to the next line after that, where you see the closing quote mark.) The gist of the whole thing was basically to say, "Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good."
1) These people are not adding value by padding their recipes with self-absorbed prose. There will always be tools to strip away the superfluous ramblings, the bloggers should adapt to what people want, rather than lament the fact that no-one wants to hear about their faux-Proust recipe genesis stories.

With that out of the way, I’ve thought of the same website model as OP. I came to the conclusion that recipes would have to be contributed by users. It’s not right to scrape recipes from others blogs.
Density is not a panacea though. Density reduces revenue per capita as you end up with property tax from the cheaper housing so as you build it you see declines in services. Most notably education, if you ever wondered why suburbs tend to have much better schools than urban areas a big factor in any jurisdiction where schools are paid for in part through property tax is that the suburbs have more property tax per student.

Roads are also an issue as it is seldom viable to build more of them and there is limited ability to widen the ones we do have. The net result is a substantial worsening of transit infrastructure to levels far worse than ever intended for those neighbourhoods.
