The debate about "lower/higher taxes" is a such a loaded discussion from both sides it's not even funny

Those more on the left treat it as a holy grail as if government spending wasn't historically very inefficient and prone to corruption.

Those more on the right think all the society that was built around them was free and came out of nothing.

I certainly don't like paying taxes but they're needed. I don't like goverment "intervention" but no free market is going to build a road in front of my house, establish a government with fiscal/monetary policy (and a currency - and no, no cryptocrap will solve this) and build relations with other countries.

And in fact old capitalists seemed much more society focused: they built railways, universities, etc. Instead of yet another web app
The cathode is basically just a high nickel cathode like most car batteries. 80% nickel, 10% cobalt, 10% manganese or something along those lines.

The anode is pure lithium metal. The only think you save is graphite.

However of course it is higher density, so less material for the same range.

> Or can these things in theory be made super cheap once the manufacturing scales up?

There are some advantages, like they believe they can remove the formation step in manufacturing.

But the production lines are not very mature at all and making them at modern giga-factory scale will face many problems.

The potential price advantage is from the density increase, not materials or manufacturing itself.

PS: They also have an LFP product, but its the same concept, same cathode, lithium metal anode.
This sounds as if all actors are completely independent, and there is no long-term strategy in their actions.

Henry Ford famously cared for his workers to be well-paid, so that they could afford the cars his company produced.
Well of course they're feasible. The Soviet Union was feasible. Ancient Mesopotamian societies were feasible. The Aztec Empire was feasible. Feasibility is the lowest bar for picking a solution. All it means is that it's not physically impossible to implement it.
That’s not true. “The best” here is simply an effect of amongst other : first mover advantage, already secured liquidity to be a first mover, the network effect, and the money to push massive campaigns to influence a topic. So we are not seeing the “best” in the context where everyone is better off.

I would argue that Europe who have more social economies the everyday person is better off. Less student costs, less medical costs, lots of utilities provided for the people. It took ages to get an infrastructure bill in the US.
Free markets are not a fair system of resource allocation and were never intended to be such, they are about efficient resource allocation. Having eg. a government involved might lead to a fairer outcome but efficiency will take a hit
Of course. Since at least Clinton the Democratic neoliberals have been the party of the 1% and the welfare recipients. The rest are screwed.

Most of the Covid "relief funds" ended up in the hands of cronies, enabling them to buy private airplanes (there is a severe shortage right now), drive up the stock markets to ridiculous heights and use the gains to buy up even more real estate.

(The Republicans are of course also doing all of this, but neoliberalism refers more to Democrats betraying their original interest groups.)
Good advice. But instead of having an entitlements _system_ and API calls passing through multiple different services returning lists of features a customer is entitled to, you can follow basic OOP principles and write

customer.is_entitled_to("feature")

to abstract the logic away to the same effect.
Ask HN: How do you deal with rude interviewers?
I've had an interviewer laugh in my face when I told them my favorite language was Scheme.

Then they just walked out in the middle of the interview without saying a word when it wasn't going well, leaving the other interviewers to continue without them.

At the time I didn't say anything, and just continued the interview as if nothing happened, but in retrospect, I think I should have politely terminated the interview myself, as I don't want to work with rude, unprofessional snobs, but I'm wondering what people here would have done, and how you've faced rudeness during interviews yourself?
Thanks, got it. The article confused me even more. It doesn't go into the details of the case, and talks about "criminalization of women suffering obstetric emergencies" (which emergencies?) in one paragraph and a "Citizens’ Group for the Decriminalization of Abortion" in another.

Calls like execvp() do little more than splitting PATH on ':', followed by repeatedly invoking execve() on ${dir}/${filename}. The fewer elements you have in PATH, the fewer execve() calls need to be performed in the worst case.
It was understood by ancient commentators (i.e., in the Talmud) to refer to miscarriage. This would mirror other laws in the ancient near east that imposed a fine for inducing miscarriages and death for murdering an adult, like the Code of Hammurabi (law 209).

It seems like you're taking one literal interpretation of a specific English translation as the only legitimate reading. There is plenty of scholarship and commentary by ancient and contemporary authors who can shed light on how the text was read (and, in this case, upheld in a legal setting) in the original Hebrew.
> Those countries are more demographically/culturally uniform and are higher trust societies

What does that even mean?
You may be a little overly cynical. The first commercial lithium ion battery only went into production in 1991, we actually have made a hell of a lot of progress since the 1950’s.
Well... don't do that? This is where microservices comes in. In a SOA architecture nothing really tells you when it's a good idea to split things up. Microservices is a methodology to help you avoid this exact situation.

You'd have the same problem in a monolith if you have two different modules working on the same db.
I appreciate that they defined neoliberalism. In Northern California over the last five to ten years, it has been so misused that people who are not very neoliberal, but have been called neoliberal a lot, started adopting the term to describe themselves. And these people would never agre with Thatcher or Reagan on much.
And I’m entitled to point out their awful draconian policies

Other than that: Interesting insight!
This is what I’ve never understood about Bitcoin evangelists. Generally, I’m anti-crypto. But I’m very anti-BTC on the merits. It’s a bad crypto.
Both could be true simultaneously. The relevant question would be: how much more money is not getting raised?
Ramit Sethi has a good course that goes over these specific issues. It’s called Delegate and Done and it includes a guide on how to hire a good assistant.

I’d also suggest reading Michael Hyatt’s Your World Class Assistant.

His Free to Focus book is also quite helpful to map out what you need to delegate away after you get an assistant
This is actually where a shitload of disagreement and misunderstanding comes from. Due to peoples different perspectives, people have varying definitions of various terms. This makes discussing heated topics like politics super difficult because the people with different perspectives fundamentally generally don't understand the definitions used by the other and assumptions are made leading to disagreement

Only if those houses are affordable for the people that are demanding renting. And if rent prices are high, people can't save and can't buy anything.
And there are infinitely more people in similar positions who are completely the opposite.

The fact you have to go back in time as far as Henry Ford proves the point, frankly. It's an exception, not the standard.
> After you do all of that what happens if people still want to buy? Migrants come in, people are born? Homelessness I guess?

Easy, local government pay for new developpements according to their needs, and rent them at 1/20th of their cost (per year, a bit more to account for losses maybe) for at least 10 year, after which the familly/homeowner can buy the rest of the house.
You must be very young, I remember when mobile phones had Ni-Cd batteries and it was very bad (you could even casually destroy your battery by charging it incorrectly!).

Li-Ion felt like a huge revolution, and the improvements it had since its introduction on the smartphone market are incredible too.

My slim and lightweight pocket supercomputer has a battery comparable to a huge power bank I had 10 years ago. If that's not revolutionary, I don't know what is.
The subtlety is that its not about projects not being delivered on time, its about them never being delivered (either cancelled or scoped down until no one has to actually do anything).

I can appreciate this feeling, because I've been living it for awhile. If I can borrow the original author's metaphor, as my career bucket sprung a leak, my other buckets were filled, and I've been just fine with that. As others have pointed out in this discussion, this is really all about perspective. If the career bucket is really important, then you will tend to that (but, again, here's where the metaphor falls apart, at least for the author -- he noticed his other buckets also leaking, but he focused on the career bucket [which, of course, is fine if it works for him]).

Yes, the constantly changing landscape of my work can be a mental strain at times, but, for me, it's the devil I know. I've invested 15+ years with my employer, and I know the domain well. I don't want my other buckets to lose water in an effort to fill my career bucket, at least right now.

tl;dr;

To each their own.
This can’t be true imo because neither absolute could actually ever exist. There’s always elements of all of these things at play in various aspects of society. Despite being grouped & framed as polar opposites they can’t be mutually exclusive if they’re always intertwined with one another.
I talk about services and actors interchangeably because there's no interesting differences between them.
"Today, few political parties openly describe themselves as fascist, and no openly fascist parties are currently in power as of 2022. However, fascism is far from extinct. France's fascist "Front National" won more than 25% of the country's vote in 2014, as did the Danish People's Party in Denmark. Moreover, the ongoing prominence of groups such as the Patriot Front in the United States, Greece's Golden Dawn party, and Hungary's Jobbik testify to the ideology's continued appeal to some individuals. Additionally, smaller-scale fascist movements exist in dozens of countries to this day.

What's more, many modern-day political parties and governments avoid the fascist label but still incorporate fascist ideas into their platforms and strategies. Rhetoric that recalls a time when a country was a great empire but was brought down by certain people enjoying undeserved benefits, or that rejects social programs on the basis that not all citizens deserve them, or that endorses the suppression of certain people's individual rights or civil liberties—violently if necessary—is often rooted in fascist philosophy.

Fascism can be difficult to define and identify. This is partly because it is often modified to meet a specific fascist party's political goals and partly because it has many variations, many of which overlap with and arguably fit better into related ideologies such as socialism. Because of this vague categorization, considerable differences of opinion exist as to which governments qualify as truly fascist and which are instead some other system, such as right-wing dictatorships or authoritarian regimes—which are similar but do not follow fascist ideology."

Yes you're correct also local labour laws. One countries generous holiday package may be below the legal minimum for another.

Most companies I know that operate internationally have subcompanies in each company they have employees in. Any FTE is employed by the sub company for taxation and legal reasons. That's a high admin burden for a 10 person start-up easier just to employee people in the same country.
You do owe them to some extent, because if you deprive them enough, they will revolt, which will be much more disruptive to your life than higher taxes.

Join YC's Career Expo June 8 to meet YC founders and find open roles
Y Combinator is hosting our Summer Career Expo online on Wednesday, June 8th, 4 pm PT. This is a way to meet the latest batch of YC startups (W22 & S21) and learn about open founding and early engineering roles. (There are some design and product roles as well, albeit fewer.)

https://www.workatastartup.com/events/startup-tech-expo-summ...

We’ve vetted these startups to make sure they’re in a good position to hire -- in terms of funding, strong teams, and impactful products to work on. Some notable startups:

- Epsilon3: Former SpaceX and Google engineers building the OS for spacecraft & operations.
- Sieve: AI dev tools to process and understand visual data, from former NVIDA/Scale engineers.
- Kalshi: First-ever legal futures exchange for trading on anything from Lil Nas X to climate change.
- Kable: Former Hulu billing PM/engineer building a usage-based billing platform.
- AstroForge: Mining astroids.

The expo is an efficient way to meet a number of great startups all at once, and not have to seek them out yourself. We start the event with rapid pitches by founders -- like Demo Day, but for engineers instead of investors -- to help you quickly survey the companies. After the pitches, we open up a virtual expo hall to give you a chance to meet founders and early employees, learn more about the domain and technology, and hear about open roles.

Despite the uncertainty in the broader market, we're seeing a lot of early stage startups being well-capitalized, with $2-5M seed rounds. (Some startups in attendance have recently closed a significantly larger round, including Searchlight, Kalshi and Portal.) All startups are hiring selectively to make sure they have a long runway and impactful product roadmap. Almost all of the companies are hiring for US-remote, with a few are back in-person.

We've got room for about 40 startups to present. So if you have other industries or types of startups you’re excited about, tell us in the comments and we’ll do our best to find some and invite them to join us.

If you're open that Wednesday and want a fun, informative and efficient evening of learning about new tech and open roles, please apply to join us:

> the idea of GP is that a house should not be considered an asset to begin with. it should be considered something like a beard trimmer: you buy it because you intend to use it, not as an investment to flip it later.

It should be like a car or a washing machine -- a capital asset that you use to achieve a goal. The minimum value for a house will always be the price of reconstructing the house from scratch. I'm not seeing that price ever be in the range that a working poor person could treat it like a beard trimmer; which means a home will always und up being large percentage of the capital of the person owning it. Assuming a properly competitive rental market, it would be much better if whatever capital could be scraped together were put into something more diversified.
Yes, 8 USD each time. Do you actually know how often people send remittances? Sometimes every day

Do you see the problem or not?
It's not "for existing". Taken collectively, their work underpins the conditions for the lives of those better off.

Remove "the poor" from the equation, and it's likely your quality of life would collapse. The market as operating doesn't recognise that in their remuneration because negatives are easy to externalise, and then roll down hill.
> When it comes to embedding third party content with iframes, you essentially want two-way security and privacy. The embedder can't change things in the embedded and vice versa.

> With webviews however, that model doesn't make much sense: the embedder is controlling the webview and frequently needs to apply or enrich the embedded view.

This isn't necessarily the case - it's certainly often been the assumption, but I don't think maintaining status quo here is a self-evident good.

Common case: I click a link in an email client / social media feed and it opens in a webview controlled by that app. It's a 3rd-party link either sent to me by an email contact, or posted by some private individual using the social media platform: it's not necessarily owned/controlled by the developer of the app, and as a user, I have no strong desire for the app to have direct access to that content.

The iframe comparison fits quite well in my mind, and most of the concerns / ideals hold true.
I remember reading an article about attempts to defeat counterfeiting of native American jewelry in the southwest. I guess people in Mexico were making their own versions cheaper and then shipping them in undercutting the people who made them on reservations. At first it was pretty easy to sort out the fakes but the Mexican manufacturers eventually improved their process so much no one could even tell the difference anymore. Which brought up some interesting questions about what authentic even is in this space.

>>Neoliberalism, which calls for free-market capitalism, regressive taxation, and the elimination of social services,

That first sentence, where neoliberalism is described in a deliberatively pejorative way, doesn't do much for the credibility of the report. Margaret Thatcher (for instance) never called for the elimination of social services. She and the Conservative Party were always in favour of some form of social "safety net".

I'm not sure it's one-click. Visiting a page isn't exactly "clicking" - I'd expect a "click" in this sense to be like a browser asking "are you sure?" and you clicking through, or "play video".

But it's not super clear cut. Like, let's say you had to open up a message on your phone for the exploit to work - you clicked the message, right? idk

As long as 2/3 of all individual actors are honest, consensus can always be reached.

Capitalism acts as a consensus mechanism that solves for efficiency and productivity. To your point, though your take is cynical, it's meaningful to consider the adversarial condition.

In my opinion, what we need is to figure out a mechanism that solves for distribution, which as a byproduct also will solve for well-being (key point: and will be robust even under adversarial conditions).
Sounds like they need fixed for inefficient handling of simple operation.
I love this:

- 'Distribution' is really the hot button this is about, even if I didn't see the word there. "Build it and they will come" is rare. Such product/market fit thinking sweeps that difficulty under the rug, while channel looks at it straight on. The article's notion of 'order' also gets into repeatable selling motion for after a customer is in the funnel -- customer success etc etc -- which can also be tough.

- ex: For us as an enterprise product, we found amazing users who would go as far as spending every evening and weekend to investigate their data. Being a tool investigators love (sec/fraud/social/blockchain... and now commercial analysts like supply chain) means initial product/market were just about there. But..... that didn't mean we just sold and grew. Figuring out the selling process is huge: how prospectives find it, try it, make their decision, purchase it, etc. Especially for 5-7 figure software, getting a predictable (& ultimately scalable) journey can mean figuring out a lot of smart targeted nudges & streamlining between your external channel partners + in internal sales/marketing/success folk.
