Very cool. Is this open hardware? That is, something public you could download and 3d print? My mind is already buzzing with half-baked ideas of how I might utilize this in my garden.
> Everybody is pampered now with swiss army knife languages

Wow. Who's sneering again?

> Many of the HN crowd will sneer at the idea of this sort of low level coding but it is still important in many domains

Yeah, we do. Because developer-cum-interviewers for companies writing marketing-optimized CRUD apps use these as filters (or to make them feel superior, take your pick), and sneer at people who can't bark out the proper magic incantation for reversing a linked list on demand.

And let's be honest. Unless you're in an exceptionally specific field with exceptionally restricted resources, using the "swiss army libraries" will create more performant code than a human can. Because those "pampered languages" have been optimized to ridiculous degrees.

Very readable / pretty UI / makes me wana think hard about stuff Im too subconsciously oppressed to think about.
Sorry, but I somehow fail to see what made this idea particularly original in the 1950s. I am aware of at least one publisher that started printing affordable paperbacks of classic books already in 1867 - Reclams Universal-Bibliothek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reclam, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taschenbuch#/media/Datei:Recla...)

What we need is for HTML to get going as a hypermedia again, to make the hypermedia architecture viable for a larger set of web applications. It's been stalled at anchors and forms (with only GET and POST!) for decades now. It's astounding how much we got built with just that.

I'm trying to show where it could go with htmx:

https://htmx.org

Hypermedia (in particular the uniform interface) is what made the web special and there's no reason HTML can't be improved as a hypermedia along the lines of htmx/unpoly/etc.

We don't need something new. We need to take the original concepts of the web (REST/HATEOAS/Hypermedia) seriously and push the folks in charge of HTML to do the same. Sure, browsers as install-free RPC client hosts works and is occasionally called for, but there is a huge gray area between "applications" and "documents", just waiting for a more expressive hypermedia.
The problem with "one client to rule them all" is a massive lost of consistency, speed/responsiveness, and usability when it comes to documents. On the web, documents can come in anything ranging from the form of a tiny text file to a gargantuan "app" that weighs tens of megabytes and spins up your laptop's fans to render. It also means that the browser isn't nearly as smart as it could be because it has to be a general purpose jack of all trades.

A dedicated document browser would likely almost always blazing fast, regardless of the machine it was run on and the network over which the documents were transferred over. It could have features that would make no sense in a web browser but greatly enhance the experience of reading and navigation. It could reasonably cache nearly everything the user visits (since it's practically all read-only and small) to reduce server load and increase speed. In a nutshell, it could be far better at specifically working with documents than a web browser ever could, even with a laundry list of extensions installed.

Additionally, it would actually be possible to write brand new competing document browsers due to the vastly more simple specification, which is something the web will probably never have again.
Regular ass HTML and CSS works just as well as ever. Application frameworks solve problems that are convincing at hyper-giga Google scale (where an infinite number of participants and data models need to be consolidated) that aren't as important when I am trying to display words, pictures, and video to people across the world. For instance, if you're talking about advanced sharding, granular caches per data-field, or scaling microservices with the load on different parts of your application, then maybe you need something more complicated.

I like simple, and I like to be able to see changes I make in real time. React makes a lot of things more simple, so I use it often.

I dabbled in competitive programming a bit (~20 years ago) and can confirm this. Since everyone was talking about leetcode recently, I went and did a couple questions there. Smart people with some CS background but without specific training can reasonably expect to find medium challenging but not impossible. Hard usually requires some specific knowledge of the tricks to do those types of questions -- and these tricks are rarely used outside of specific niches. Solving leetcode type problems are generally kind of fun for me (might be considered an "acquired taste"), but I don't believe all programmers/software engineers need to grind them to become good...

I've personally never really applied those competitive programming skills in my 10+ years career (outside of interviewing...) Those who have done so are probably in the minority (and I suspect, probably over-engineered the solution a bit).
Facebook will be off that list soon
(The)Facebook used a sneaky trick to create scarcity by requiring you have an educational email address. It was an elite club, compared to the normies who had to use MySpace.

The force of FOMO that built up behind that wall, once removed, flooded the population.

You can say it was their style or whatever, but I think it was that one move.

> WTF? This must be because of willful political sabotage?

It's not sabotage, it's the fact that the government wants a leash on you. I had an experience in the past with the CA DMV where simply forgetting to "de-register" a broken, non-functional motorcycle resulted in the state levying my bank account for hundreds of dollars in registration fees. The FTB had the money debited right out of my account, no different than if someone committed wire fraud.

Well, forms aren't easy on any client toolkit (e.g. iOS/Android).

Forms are hard because they are (1) pure user input—often textual—, thus inheriting all fundamental difficulties with user input, and (2) arbitrarily reactive such that changing one value may arbitrarily impact other values, e.g. bidirectionally, and (3) you are at the mercy of the platform supporting the input UX that you want to build and you quickly find yourself off the rails otherwise.

This means that even though forms seem like they should be trivial, it's just as hard to generalize over forms as any other UI concept. Or rather, it's not a solved problem for the same reason UI in general isn't a solved problem.
Pluton seems like the next evolution of the TPM which has been around for many years. Many (most?) modern CPUs have a TPM built into the CPU already (Intel PTT and AMD fTPM) so it's not a huge change from the status quo as far as I can tell.

There is plenty of marketshare that will buy Bitcoin for plenty of other reasons (store of value, protection from governments, criminal transactions, etc.), such that a lot of those reasons would have to be painfully clear to a majority of capital for it to go down dramatically (e.g. LUNA-style). What is clear to one of us may not be clear to other market participants.

Case in point: look at Gamestop stock, 15 months later. Still detached from reality, despite nobody -- even the buyers -- truly expecting the company to generate commensurate value.
That is entirely the problem. This false dichotomy is a predicate for the Hacker News “well I may as well sell myself to Facebook or Raytheon and make bank” mindset. In my experience, this does not reflect how people think in the wider world. Well, people privileged enough to be able to take ethics into consideration when choosing employment.
The structure ensures that individuals within the working class choose individualized forms of resistance over collective ones. They do so not because they fail to recognize their interests, as theories of false consciousness or cultural hegemony would have it. Both of these approaches insisted that workers in some way failed to understand their immediate material interests. Actually, it is because workers accurately perceive the risks and costs associated with collective action. Hence, they typically opt for individualized forms of advancement over collective ones. But to opt for an individualized strategy is nothing other than to accept the dominant position of the employer—and of capitalists as a class. It leaves unchallenged the employer’s structural power over the worker and seeks simply to maximize the worker’s welfare within the latter’s parameters. It is a tacit acceptance of the rules of the game, rather than an effort to transform or even challenge them.

Bingo. I hate the game, but I'm not willing to break it in favor of a game that might be better for everybody else but not necessarily better for me. I'm looking out for myself because I can't -- and won't -- count on others to give my welfare the slightest consideration.
Maybe if they got payouts on the same scale for their effort that the top bosses and VCs got, they’d work those extra 45 minutes a week. Since neither Musk nor a VC can accomplish a thing without the people who do the work, maybe they can change their tune. Those that are parents are probably proud that they give their family a high standard of living, even though the kids are pure cost center with no resale value. They could be proud that they made so much money and enabled others to live well too.

At least Musk hasn’t yet slipped and said that work makes you free.
You know, everyone seems to say this but the reality is that once you get in that room--physically or virtually--the hazing rituals and in-group tests begin. As an industry and a culture we need to accept that this is the reality at many/most companies and that those companies need to stop saying "Oh woe is us, we just want to hire someone!"

No. In the US standard housing purchase agreements are drawn up contingent on financing - and standard bank financing has a lot of hoops and procedure to go through - it usually takes at least a month and of course it may fall through. During that time the seller is basically sitting on their ass and can’t advertise the property.

An all cash deal means the seller does not have to wait once the parties have a mutual purchase agreement.

The prices of Luna and Terra remains disconnected: their market caps should be equal, but right now, Terra is worth a lot more (on paper) that Luna. So the obvious arbitrage opportunity is to buy worthless Luna, swap it for Terra, and cash out.

The problem is that it's increasingly hard to do any of those three necessary steps, because exchanges like Binance have delisted the lot and the Terra blockchain itself keeps being halted (so much for being decentralized!).
And nobody is forced to pay their taxes in Bitcoin.

Or just use Firefox. I've been a Chrome-ish user for decades, bouncing from Chrome to Vivaldi and then finally Opera (with a brief stint on Edge after it switched to Chromium).

You are not decoupling anything. A minor correction in the real life markets caused huge parts of crypto to implode. You are leveraged, not diversified.
Good question! That bit of legalese just says we can't recommend specific stocks (and we don't). We can, however, recommend tax strategies, employer benefit optimizations, general investment allocations, credit cards, savings accounts, loans, etc.
Like how these sites have blocklists in China/Russia/other countries, what if they provide an "allow-list" for content in Texas? So stuff gets flagged / banned as usual, except in Texas the bans don't apply.

If they really want to they could require users go through many hoops to prove they're in Texas, and then add things like latency issues, so that they "technically" comply with the ruling but not really. Kind of like what Apple does with their App Store (not latency but other stuff, like allowing dating apps in Sweden to use custom payment, making custom payment have all these requirements, etc.)

Bonus points for ensuring that the front page gets filled with spam, because that's what you get with "zero censorship". Even though artificially down-weighing content isn't the same as censoring it. Oh, and they also secretly unlist the conservative content the bill actually aims to protect anyways.
I have a naive, old-style viewpoint. I view myself as a professional and approach my job that way. In return, I expect to be treated like a professional. As Max Weinberg said, “Show up, do a good job, and give them more than their money’s worth.”

You’re right. Netflix is a for-profit organisation, with employees. “It’s capitalism, so employees get no right to exercise any discretion” is a uniquely nonsensical and frankly American take. If this is truly a fringe issue that nobody cares about, it can be ignored by everyone, including you. Yet here we are.
Uh, no. The 40% number is completely wrong. We only topped 40% during WWII. We've been very consistently around 20% during non-recession years where it goes up largely because GDP goes down. We topped 30% for 2020 during a massive contraction and countercyclical stimulus. It will be back down in the low 20s for 2022. We not only are not on a runaway spending trend and we have survived shocks really, really well. Fiat has served society incredibly well. I'd sooner take a year of 8% inflation over bread lines due to deflationary spiral.

Georgists divide into two categories. They define land differently, or emphasize different aspects of it.

1. Left wing georgists. Land = resource needed for human life. Humans cannot fly, therefore land is a life necessity. Food grows on land and nowhere else, therefore land is necessary for life.

2. Right wing georgists. Land as a monopoly. Electromagnetic spectrum (5g, wifi, radio waves) cannot have too many owners of a band otherwise you get interference. Google.com domain can be owned only by one entity otherwise you get mess. For actual land (geographical parcel) you hold exclusive use rights, that others have to respect, otherwise you get fights for territory. All of these - geo area, name system, electromagnetic spectrum - constitute a form of land. There are grades of it which differently priced and only one owner can operate it at a time.

Land is still the most important section of economy. Real estate is mainly land speculation. You can observe billionaires investing in real estate and land when there is nowhere else to invest, so it definitely is not piece of worthless nothing that only had value in 19th century when majority of population was still employed in agriculture. Except homeless, 100% of population is invested in real estate. Only tiny portion of money is spent on stocks comparatively.

Georgist philosophy lives completely ouside of the current left right spectrum, both on the political and cultural level. However, if it become the next societal paradigm, you'll see this divide again. It is becoming a real possiblity it'd become the next paradigm because after zero interest rate policy, quantitative easing, helicopter money and debt amnesties, the only choice is between a war and georgism.
That isn’t what they’re asking at all. They’re asking about a pre-cellular life like virus that evolved into ours that was then outcompeted.
> What if I want documents with a slight bit of inactivity?

Then you use Adobe Flash. See, we used to have a decent technology for when you want "a document with a slight bit of interactivity". It worked very well for this exact purpose. More than 10 years later, browsers' native capabilities, that are supposed to be a replacement for what Flash offered, have still not quite caught up. Moreover, Flash defined a clear boundary between the document and the application parts.

Did the particular (Adobe's proprietary) implementation of Flash player suck? Yes, sure. Could this have been done better? Yes, sure. Is it possible to reimplement a Flash player from scratch within a reasonable timeframe with a small team of developers? Yes, sure, Ruffle[1] is a thing, and it's being actively developed.

I miss Flash. I hope it makes a comeback eventually.

40w max output @ 28 miles/hour windspeed.

12,000 mAh internal battery

There's no mention of voltage but it looks like it uses USB connectors, so let's assume 5v.
This turbine running at full-load (with NO losses)

40w @ 5V = 8A (maximum theoretical)

8A * 1.5hrs = 12,000mAh (1.5hrs minimum theoretical time needed for a full charge.

Now divide everything by 1/3rd for better 'real-world' (aka pessimistic) numbers.

13w average output

13w / 5v = 2.6A

2.6A * 4.5hrs = 11,700mAh

So really not that bad, but most of the time I'm camping the trees block 95% of the wind. On the other hand that other 5% does seem to happen more then 5% of the time. =)

This is coming down to vendor control. My industry uses adobe more than I like and adobe knows photoshop is something people will try to pirate as long as it is a distributable application.

Will be great if anyone familiar with the tech start up market can chime in here.

There are a lot of companies still calling themselves startups but are almost a decade or more old that didn't go public. I wonder what happens to them. Instacart comes to mind.

Then there are actual startups that appeared really promising like Tide, Sivo etc. Am curious how they fare as well.

Is there a noticeable change in available startup funding?
>Why does it have to be so siloed? What if I want documents with a slight bit of inactivity?

You aren't allowed to have that, because it's not profitable for the web developer crowd's bosses. So your "slight bit of interactivity" becomes "several megabytes of surveillance and advertising".
Lobbyists, PR professionals and the people who pay them own lots of property and pay property taxes. They're far harder for the wealthy to dodge than income or capital gains taxes. Of course the public has been trained to hate them, like they've been trained to hate estate taxes, and in some years public polls would show near-majorities against progressive taxation in general.

edit: it seems obvious because of the thread topic, but property taxes are the most easily and intuitively justifiable tax. People with more property use more public services.

>> there is nothing of worth backing it

Every day people say this as if it's a new insight.

There are many things that are valuable that don't derive that value from some other asset "backing" it.

Money is a social construct that is valuable because people agree it's valuable. When people decide it's no longer valuable, then it's not.
