This is a video about the "21e8 index". I have never heard about that. There seem to be one scientific paper about it, by Provides Ng, "21E8: Coupling Generative Adversarial Neural Networks (GANS) with Blockchain Applications in Building Information Modelling (BIM) Systems" from 2021 which does not have any other citation. Also Google does not really provide any information on 21e8.

How is this a representative example?

>First, a waitress is often a little bit of a salesperson so yes, she can up her skills to be more valuable.

This is true on an individual level, but I don't believe that there has been much efficiency increase here that has permeated through the industry. There has been no shovel to digger moment that has improved the ability for most waitresses to do their work much more efficiently. I think it's going to happen with self-checkout though (you will still need someone to staff self-checkout).

Hi HN! I'm one of the co-founders of Tuple and the author of this article.

Happy to answer any questions (and receive any criticism!).
Right, but they _just_ decriminalized drugs, so we haven’t seen the impact. What you’re describing in Vancouver is the result of the existing policies which criminalized drugs.
I'm really not cut out to work for a big corporation.

Even if they charged $0.50/per user, that would be $5k/month. I could go as a consultant and charge half of that to setup vaultwarden integrated with their AD for maybe 2 lazy days, and offer a support contract for $500/month. It's not even that much of rare skill. I'd guess you can randomly selected /r/selfhosted users and I'd give 10% of odds to find someone who has done it already and would even offer to do for less.

Yet, I think that most managers would simply prefer to go through all the negotiation meetings, all the internal procurement process just so they can justify the big boy expenses.
I don’t live in the US. But I’m wondering: Is that a function of inflation, or is it a function of overspending? (Or, third option, a function of high paying jobs beyond geographically clustered in cities where living expenses are especially high.)

Can we do something about money then? I know people who have spent years of their lives arguing over pointless differences in specifications that end up going into the trash bin because it pays them more money than something useful. Lives and years down the tube.
Anyone can live paycheck to paycheck if they let lifestyle creep get past their income.

Looking at the difference in my income now vs 10 years ago and the difference in my savings rate, the savings is less than it should be in comparison. Inflation is part of it, sure. But it's a lot more that my lifestyle has changed. I choose to have a nicer place vs back then while living in a HCOL area, a nicer car. There are purchases I make without a second thought that would have been a big deal back then. And I make a conscious effort to monitor lifestyle creep. Plenty of people don't think about it at all and go all in.
One word: rents. My rent is going up by 40% next year. I will have to take it because comparable places will be at least just as much, probably move and it will cost me a couple of grand to move.

Did you also happen to hear of the "success in crypto coins" where no on even pretends to be working on anything?
I've long been enamored with the idea of learning from analog computers to build the next generation of digital ones. In some perspective all our computers are analog, of a sort - today's computer chips are effectively leveraging electron flow through a carefully arranged metal/silicon substrate, with self-interference via electromagnetic fields used to construct transistors and build up higher order logic units. We're now working on photonic computers, presumably with some new property leading to self interference, and allowing transistors/logic above that.

"Wires" are a useful convenience in the electron world, to build pathways that don't degrade with the passing of the elections themselves. But if we relax that constraint a bit, are there other ways we can build up arrangements of "organized flow" sufficient to have logic units arise? E.g. imagine pressure waves in a fluid -filled container, with mini barriers throughout defining the possible flow arrangement that allows for interesting self-reflections. Or way further out, could we use gravitational waves through some dense substance with carefully arranged holes, self-interfering via their effect on space-time, to do computations for us? And maybe before we get there, is there a way we could capitalize on the strong or weak nuclear force to "arrange" higher frequency logical computations to happen?

Physics permits all sorts of interactions, and we only really use the simple/easy-to-conceptualize ones as yet, which I hope and believe leaves lots more for us to grow into yet :).

Kubernetes and co do not reduce the amount of work - it’s just shifted to the next abstraction layer. Before when DevOps meant „you build it - you run it“ we removed dedicated ops teams to which the code was thrown over the fence and to reduce the animosity and friction between dev and ops. This was great but now all the hips companies have dedicated ops teams only that they are now called „platform teams“. Instead of code artefacts it is now containers that are thrown over the fence and now the ops part became so complex that separating dev and ops again seems reasonable. Luckily for me I managed to keep the good old DevOps of working, developing code and running it or bare metal servers with FreeBSD and Jails - even converting an existing Kubernetes setup back to bare metal. In my opinion the platformisation of the internet infrastructure isn’t a desirable state, monocultures are too and for the vast majority of projects kubernetes is overkill as they won’t ever reach the scale that would justify a kubernetes setup. It‘s like the milage fear for EV cars - but I guess everyone wants to hit facebook or google scale and that desire misinforms the early infrastructure architecture. That is just my 40 years old grey beard view which you can happily ignore whilst flying amongst the clouds :)
Reasonable does a lot of heavy lifting.
This is nice until you consider the network effects. People can often get away with the $5/user/month plan, until they need SSO, in which case it always becomes $30k a year.

SSO seems like the only way SaaS companies can make money, and what this HN post tells me is that even enterprises with 10k employees (!) still find that to be a little out of their price range. The state of the industry is kind of crazy, but that's why people are looking for an enterprise 1password account. Cheaper to pay them once than to pay 1000% markup on every SaaS you use.
It sounds like they would repaint the entire terminal on every single change, but that is not what the alternative to VDOM is. They could have skipped straight to the list of terminal commands without the overhead of diffing for an even faster result and that's of course not as easy as it sounds, but that is more or less what lit-html attempts to do with the strategy outlined on https://dev.to/thisdotmedia/lit-html-rendering-implementatio.... This of course comes with a different overhead, so the option to change a `style` property directly should still be considered an option that beats all these strategies if you are doing it sixty frames per second. The problem with VDOM is not with the technology, but with the marketing that has made us believe that such an approach is problematic and slow.

Read the cited sources. They were grandfathered in.

(GitHub is a good example of why the policy exists. They borrowed liberally from Git's brand; conflated Git and github.com in the minds of tens of thousands of people, maybe even millions, registered a trademark for "GitHub"; and began going after people who do the very type of borrowing that GitHub themselves did. They ultimately ended up causing issues for the Git project when it sought a trademark, since the GitHub trademark already existed at that point.)
Navigating the Downturn
There should be tremendous benefits to companies who share wealth with their employees. Like an employee-wealth matrix that informs the tax burden of an enterprise.

That way they can make a greater socioeconomic impact while still upholding their corporate and shareholder responsibility.

Of course the first cut would be the deepest - penalizing companies who exploit labor. Good luck with that.
>I lost count of the number of "I", "me", "my" in your comment

That's the kind of insight that's valuable to a productive debate and sets the right tone for it. /s
Pattern matching in a function definition is a great way to get good runtime error reports (I'm thinking of Elixir here, not sure how Ruby does it), but it does not help the developer during development. I don't want to look at a function's definition to understand how to use and shouldn't have to. It totally breaks the point of having a function in the first place. When using a function, I want the name, the name of the arguments, and the typespec, whether it's in a statically or dynamically typed language. Anything more is cognitive overhead that is unnecessary and even likely to create improper use, two things that introduce bugs in a system.

In a dynamically typed language, I'd wager that 95% of the code doesn't need to be dynamically typed. In that, almost all of the time, you have code that could easily be done in a statically typed language and modeled well with custom types and type aliases like what Elixir provides with `@type`. The choice of using a dynamically typed language provides some freedom at the boundaries of programs. In functional languages like Elixir and Erlang, these happen when side effects take place like file I/O and also in message passing. The choice to use a dynamically typed language does make things a little easier here, but the tradeoff should be that you should think and program the rest of the system as if it's a statically typed language. Given that something like Elixir is not statically typed and especially does not have type inference, the tradeoff is that now you need add typespecs to your code. This is to help prevent type-related bugs and to help communicate the code to yourself and other developers.

> New developers joined the project, mostly junior. After five years no new code has @specs AFAIK.

I'm not sure what your point is here, but that sounds like a negative direction. Dynamically typed code without typespecs increases developer cognitive load, increases the likelihood of bugs, and increases the difficult of on-boarding new developers.

You should absolutely read it that way, and, you should go even further and point fingers at the legislation itself. In my decade of public service we had five different ministers of “digitalisation” (they had other titles because IT doesn’t win votes) that all put effort into making our laws better suited for digitalisation. I think we even had a prime minister get into it, and every prime minister throughout my entire life has had an ambition of making laws less complicated.

Well, let’s just say that while you’re completely correct, I don’t think we should wait for our countries to become less Kafkan, which is why I’m a fan of simply banning the automated decision making. Maybe if you hurt the bureaucracy where it matters (cost) we might actually get some officials who deal with the root cause of the issues.

You must either really mean Manhattan or you must not have ever looked, because $1200 isn't the bottom for a bedroom. I make software eng. salary and lived in hip parts of Bushwick for 4-5 of the past 6 or so years and paid 875-1100 for a bedroom, and Bushwick is a 'cooler' part of Brooklyn. 30 min to 14th St. Union square in Manhattan on a subway. You can look on Streeteasy right now in Bushwick and see 4 bedroom apartments that net sub-1000 dollar bedrooms. These aren't roach infested, lead paint units, a fair bit will be shoebox sized rooms but modern renovations. If you were to look in an actually poor neighborhood in an unsafe area, or were to push your commuting distance to 45-60 minutes parts of Brooklyn and Queens, you could find cheaper.

But it's still true that the poor are being priced out and doing it with a family (with any semblance of privacy / not living 4 people in a bedroom) would be horrid.

Yep, remote working is perfect excuse ! :) I hear there is new Zoom function to simulate trousers or something :>

As for harsh form of that sometimes boss needs to be harsh. There are limits and buffers to almost anything in that reality.

And as for remote working security: it's very, very hard ! What tools you can use ? Zoom, MS Teams/Skype, Signal, vpn ? Nothing is even close or even far from working in company place.

Team/company building and cooperation and gains from that ?

Remote working could be allowed for some less important and well defined work. But IMO it should be less paid, because it's less important, etc. Of course almost everything vary.

And there is no doubt that remote work allows to pretend better to do actual work. Don't agree ? Make some scientific study that will, somehow, contradict that common knowledge and sense. Remote work allows and makes more peoples to pretend more.

Until you are an artists :) But also check story of that ex-importand man from Apple...
The voices that predicted wars if NATO is extended were numerous. Even worse, those that ignored these voices and did push through the extension now blame the "appeasers". They should not be listened to in any capacity because they take part of the responsibility here. Maybe the opposition did not believe Putin would take that last step in this escalation and therefore were not adamant enough to oppose such steps. That could have been a mistake.

Maybe also keep interventions within the political structure of Ukraine to a minimum. That would have shown convincing respect for the sovereignty of the country.
While I like Jared and the ideas that he puts forward, I can’t help but feel that in reality they would fail abysmally.

Half of this country (US) denies that Sandy Hook happened, they deny that the election was fair, they think that every mass shooting is staged in an attempt by the government to seize their guns. Why would these people want to join a social group and only post through that group? Also, why would it limit misinformation? Aren’t there already communities of these like minded people who are even more extreme?
I wonder how many people here on hacker news live paycheck to paycheck? I make significantly more than 250k and spend all of it (single income family of four) and my savings are my equity.

Inflation is a function of an overheated economy running with a tight labor and commodity market. If you're positing a 2008-like crisis followed by a deep recession, it's virtually certain that the economy will become deflationary, as people hoard cash.

You don't have to take my word for it. From 2007 to 2008 inflation crashed from nearly 5% to 0.1%.
My view of it is that they basically lost the SEO spam wars. Without the ML pipelines, the top results would all be dominated by the smaller, highly skilled, SEO manipulators. They didn't find a way to cleanly excise that spam, so they resorted to a very imperfect hammer...giving a lot of SEO weight to large corporate entities. So basically, a different kind of spam dominates now.
I really don't get this line of thought. There's nothing "special" about precious metals in this regard and they only have value as long as people agree they have value. If we found an asteroid rich in gold and managed to capture it, would gold still hold its value? How is gold different than other rare earth metals with a (currently) limited exploitable supply like neodymium?

The only limits on the gold supply are technological ones. If one takes an optimistic view of the future where we become a space-faring species the future supply of gold is effectively unlimited.

Edit: As much as I'm a huge crypto detractor, at least Bitcoin's supply is limited mathematically, not just circumstantially. I would argue this is a bad thing, but if you're looking for something that will hold its value due to scarcity a durable commodity we dig out of the ground seems like a bad long-term bet. What if we discover a massive gold deposit?

> In a nutshell, CSV isn't a format. It's a family of formats, and it's not even a well-specified family of formats.

There is RFC4180. Though by 2005 when that came about there were already so many different cases around that it became just one of a great many possible variants.

I try not to push back too hard about CSV, for fear of “well, there is this XML format that is supported”! (bad enough in itself, but sometimes the “XML format” is even more poorly specified than the client's CSV edge cases which we are expected to guess).

JSON is nice as long, as you say, that strings are real strings and numbers are real numbers.

Oh, and dates/times are in an RFC3339 (or ISO8601) numeric (no localised month names, etc.) format either in UTC or with the timezone always specified, as strings (though at a pinch I'll accept a posix time_t for datetime if based on UTC). Not specifying how to handle dates/times/both is the major problem with JSON in my experience.
At some point (maybe version 3), I'd like to integrate Python to allow users to make their own commands. This would give them access to entire rows, columns, ranges, etc.
>All commodity prices are ultimately labor cost. No one else than people get paid!

This isn't true. You had to pay somebody for the land those apple trees are grown on and when you do you're not paying them for their labor, you're paying for their status as a land owner.
