Mortgages are not just leverage. They also lock in your cost of housing.

For example, people who rent in major cities have seen their rents increase by 30% or more over the past few years. Housing prices have also gone up by that much.

On the other hand, someone who bought a home a few years ago has not seen their monthly payment change -- and it will not change for 30 years if they got a fixed-rate mortgage! In the next few decades, their mortgage payment will be increasingly smaller in real terms due to inflation and will eventually be substantially lower than the rent for a similar home.

2 people earning $120k each have a monthly pre-tax income of $20k. They can easily afford a million-dollar home, and the property tax (~11-12k per year), in the San Francisco area. The problem is, a home that cost a million dollars 2 years ago now costs $1.3 million.
The wording might be, but it's hard to convey the tone, and in my opinion, my co-founder's tone was both forceful and polite. I wouldn't have been able to pull it off myself.
I agree 100% with your statement. I see a job interviews as dating. It has to work both ways, you will be spending most of your day with them, you need to determine what you expect from them and what negative behaviors you are willing to compromise based on your needs.
> behaviour betrays a lack of technical confidence.

Yes agreed. I've seen this in interviewing and in teaching. People who are insecure make it about how smart they are, people who are confident make it about helping others.
Is there any evidence that North Face's actions "backfired" other than the creation of this video and the loss of a microscopic corporate customer?

This also seems similar to the actions of one of North Face's customers, Patagonia, when they stopped doing co-branding with some VC firms: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19558512 (2019).

Not the poster you are asking this question of... but yes, that was true 15 years ago.

However these days, app stores have proven their massive profitability, so web tech on par with native apps threatens that income stream.

Offering reasonable functionality via web can be a huge win for certain app categories (anything with IAP or subscription) because it is easier to offer payment options that bypass app stores and their mandatory revenue slice.
Apple's online WWDC content has very good production value, but a bunch of well-produced videos dropped over the course of a week don't really make it a "conference".

Microsoft, with their BUILD conference a couple years ago, actually had the best implementation of a COVID-era virtual "conference" that I've seen-- lots of actual live content (and live chat interaction), and to some extent some of the content was actually superior to a real-world conference because the online format (taking questions via chat) makes Q&A more feasible than it would be in person.
Actually I do have to agree on the demonic entity assesment.

Oil and Gas conglomerates actively colluded in fabricating fake science to descredit the impact of GHG. As well as withheld information from the public and governments on their own data showing severe projections on climate change. [0] [1]

This is short term profit at the cost of _literally_ Human Survival.

Considering that Climate Calamity will be the major threat to Human life in large chunks of the planet by the time my children come of age, it looks pretty demonic in my book.

This is the true face of the EU. Anyone who opposes it will be branded as a child molester. Even if the parliament rejects this proposal, the next power hungry authoritarian can simply try again, until eventually one parliament will pass it.

Two things:

My parents were given, as a gift, a wool blanket in 1963, and it was on our beds when we were children, and I have it on my bed now. It’s durability is like something out of a science-fiction story, an incredible substance that can take decades of use without showing signs of wear. It is not frayed or ugly; it is still in good shape. Im almost baffled how it endured. Good wool is amazing.

In 1989 my mom bought me my first real backpack, a NorthFace. Over the next 32 years, I travelled all over with it. I hiked the Appalachian Trail with it. I hiked mountains in Colorado with it. I took it on bike trips. I took it all over Europe. The quality was amazing. Finally, the zippers gave out. I gave up on it last year.

I bought another NorthFace backpack. The quality is terrible. After 1 year it is showing signs of wear. Everything about it seems cheap and badly done. I am very disappointed to see the shift in quality in NorthFace over those 32 years.

I'd try to hire Katelyn in an instant if I had an appropriate role. Her reputation precedes her (I knew of her from multiple social/technical circles long before I knew she was even on HN) and honesty, when you've gone out of your way to try to fix a problem and it's made you blow a proverbial tire in the process, doesn't bother me.

You, on the other hand, are slagging her with personal attacks in multiple comments in this thread. I wouldn't hire you after knowing you wrote them and I don't think you'd be saying the things you are with your name on them.
FWIW, your entire comment is an ad hominem fallacy. You must ignore the person and focus on their argument in order to argue rationally.

> doesn't affect you in the scheme of things.

I have subsonic hearing and I live in a rural area, not particularly near any small or large airport. What drives me nuts are diesel school buses (something about the low frequencies) and those really slow single prop planes that seem to want to linger around my airspace, sound-polluting the entire area with harmful low frequencies. And for what? Entertainment and entitlement. We need diesel school buses right now and until electric buses become available to school districts, so I'll just deal with that. A vehicle gets you from point A to point B. Most of these planes and flights, nearly all of them, leave and return to the same airport a few hours later. They're not traveling anywhere, they're just bored. While I can empathize with boredom, I really don't tolerate being victimized by the bored. It isn't just me. Wildlife and Mother Nature and gravitational potential hates small engine planes.

It looks like Vessel is a web browser extension that acts as a cryptocurrency wallet. The key words here are 'cryptocurrency', 'non-custodial' and 'web3'.

Meaning, this is a wallet that you can access from your browser that will keep your private keys local to your machine (the 'non-custodial' part) and allow you to send and receive cryptocurrency as well as allow you to log into websites that allow you to authenticate via a local non-custodial wallet interface/extension.

Some alternatives in this space are Temple [0], Kukai [1], Spire [2], to name a few.

To all those asking "what does this offer", ask yourselves how easy it would be to log into a service like Google mail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, PayPal, Tumblr, etc. without an established phone number, bank account, or extra email address. With 'web3' the authentication takes place through the wallet (via the browser extension and presumably standarized-ish API).

Once a wallet is setup, the login process is a click of a button. From my own personal use, it's night and day compared with doing the login dance for the various 'blue-chip' companies I log into (GitHub, GMail, Twitter). Instead of a username/password dance, I can just click 'verify' and be logged in to a 'web3' website.

The wallets have, presumably, a primary purpose of keeping your money, so they act as a kind of 'real world wallet', where you're not expected to keep too much money in it but you can use this money for online transactions with little friction. The idea being, purchasing digital services is much easier because the friction is so low.

For me, the main point is friction. 'Web3' wallets like this provide an order of magnitude less friction to use online services. Whether you agree or disagree with cryptocurrency, think it's not needed or scammy, the 'strong-man' argument for wallets like Vessel and others is that it offers an order of magnitude less friction to authenticate and to use digital funds for digital services.

Now, in particular, Vessel doesn't look to be all that open (as in libre/free/open source) so I would be hesitant to install this and would rather use one of the more established wallets that is libre.

Are there any games like Civilization and Master of Orion where the number of units and choices in the later game don't get so overwhelming? I usually lose interest at this point but enjoy the early game.

It's not the same kind of game or as grand in scale, but I really enjoyed Into the Breach because each turn you only have a limited number of choices and units each turn, and each choice feels important.

I had flight lessons, and after a few hours of training (most of which were unrelated to landing), I was able to land on a short runway, about 2000 feet long.

Landing on a long runway (10001 feet / 3048 meters [1]) as was done here is much easier, as long as the plane doesn't malfunction and visibility is good. So I'm not that surprised that some people would be able to do this given good instructions over the radio / phone. Especially so if the person doing it has witnessed landings from a cockpit before, which may have been the case here.

With such a long and wide runway, if you can direct the plane to fly over the runway and then cut off power, that should be enough to land the plane somewhat safely I would think.

"My software engineering salary buying less of car/house/food than it did last year is a reflection (in an abstract sense) that my total share of "value" is relatively smaller by comparison to the factory worker, farmer, etc"

That's true if that factory worker or farmer is also getting a raise. It can still be true if those workers are getting raises higher than inflation even if you as a dev gets an inflation adjustment. The thing I was saying is that I should get inflation adjusted and those other people should be getting more than inflation adjusted by moving up the floor.

"it's a lot less convincing than "I'm 11% more productive"."

It can still be convincing if the company is able to charge 11% more for the same output you are producing.

"Now of course, the reality of the situation is that a lot of productivity increase went straight to the top instead of improving compensation. But wage-inflation for all doesn't solve that."

Not entirely, but maybe a little. The fact that the top are absorbing the increases while the workers absorb inflation is the problem. If wages are inflating as they are now, the at least puts pressure on the top to stop sucking up the extra to stay competitive. Maybe. I can't imagine how good life could have been if real wages hadn't decreased for the past 50 years.

"I'll take increase costs relative to my personal lifestyle if it means less people with essential jobs living paycheck to paycheck."

I'd rather make the top pay. I don't make all that much.

> If you've ever tried to use 802.1x / EAP on Android then you've already had a taste of this issue. Android makes importing and trusting a new root certificate authority very difficult.

Good lord don't get me started. In worked at a NOC in college part-time and a significant part of my job was helping users onboard devices to the network and determining where there were gaps in our onboarding process. After a random security update, all Pixel phones just ... stopped being able to connect to our network and we eventually determined that you needed to go through a new, non-obvious path to import a CA for our EAP-TLS certificates. I'm not remembering the details but unless you connected _exactly_ right on the first try, it would delete the CA certificate and you'd have to start over. There's a lot of other details here but it ended up taking us almost a month to find the exact path to get things up and running.

We also paid a vendor (SecureW2) for an app to enroll devices on the network, but Google removed the ability for users to edit configurations generated by apps. Our network required disabling MAC randomization at the time (which Google provides no API for apps to disable). Before the change, users would enroll, and then disable MAC randomization to complete setup. However, because users were no longer allowed to edit these configurations after the app had gotten everything else configured, they were left dead in the water.

On the flip-side: Apple makes this very easy and provides a "profile" mechanism that users can download and get everything set up in a few clicks.
Hyundai and Kia max out around 230kw, Taycan maxes out around 270kw but can't sustain it for very long, but Lucid is actually able to hit 300kw.

Tesla is maxed out at 250kw for all models (3,Y,S,X) but they are working on increasing charging speeds on their V3 superchargers later this year: rumored to be 325kw. So I would say they are very much competitive with the rest of the industry and their better drive-train efficiency means you still get more added range per minute than all other EVs (except Lucid)
I have zero experience flying planes (or being near people flying them), but I do have ham radio experience. Sounds like that might actually help a lot. I've even spent some time listening to the ~120 MHz AM aviation bands.

Eating habits can change with stress. If I eat certain types of wheat, my back hurts. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy that came back normal, but I had some inflammation spots in my stomach, likely due to consuming some bad wheat or something else. These changes can come about from the state of gut biomes.

Cleaning up my eating habits and consuming probiotics seems to have helped a lot. I can eat limited amounts of gluten now without my back hurting, or my stomach complaining about it. I still struggle with cravings of sugar and cream at times, especially when I'm fighting depressive events. Eating things the body craves is an easy out. It's limiting those actions with mind, when it is not so healthy, that challenge many of us.
That would be a valid explaination if it checked out. However, real wages have declines for the past 50 years. We also see way more inflation than deflation.

Pollution occurs in many ways, not just burning. The whole "microplastics" thing is largely due to apparel made from petroleum-based synthetic materials. Activewear and outdoor wear are rarely if ever made from natural materials anymore. Not to mention all the energy needed to process crude oil into those materials.
Sometimes the ground service people are allowed to move the planes on the ground for repositioning, when no passengers on on board. It's not uncommon for them to at least know how to turn the systems on and move it. And if you know that, takeoff isn't incredibly more difficult. Landing, on the other hand, is more difficult, but that didn't seem to be among his objectives.
Exactly right. I was using the voice dictation and it didn't type the short form.

From wiki "McCullough has contradicted public health recommendations ... by suggesting that healthy persons under 30 had no need for a vaccine".

How many people do you knew personally under 30 and dead because of covid? According to official statistic in my country, it is 0,0048% dead people under 30 with positive PCR (not necessary dying only because of covid). 48 dead people under age 30 in 2 years of pandemic. So this wiki text is irrelevant and McCullough has data for his statement.

You're welcome to request your data from Facebook and see if they have this data (assuming they are following the law, which I assume they are). I've requested my data from various companies and they did not have anything even close to this level of detail. That makes me think that if they do store data such as keystrokes or mouse clicks or whatever, it's being stored in a highly aggregated way, which doesn't bother me very much. But I also imagine one of the reasons they are storing data in an aggregated way is: 1) they don't need it at an individual level and/or 2) it's not cost effective.
The limiting factor here is that you need your lens to shift focus. So if you wanted to take a-la five simultaneous shots for focus stacking you would need five separate lenses at different focal distances. Since five lenses can't occupy the same physical space you're going to end up with five slightly different perspectives. It might be possible to computationally correct the perspective between them to a certain extent, but I'm not sure how good the end result could theoretically be.
Not-quite right abstraction also can accumulate minor differences where it is forced on use-cases that fit poorly.

It is better to under-abstract and keep some duplication than over-complicate and miss. Complexity snicks up on you (it is a time bomb).
Years ago I had the opportunity to "fly" an A320 simulator (the type they use to train pilots) at Miami International Airport. Yes, with instructions, I was able to successfully land the airplane, and found it easier to do so than with Microsoft Flight Simulator. It was just setting a few controls, and on a small monitor in the middle of the dashboard, keep the plus sign in the square.
