Looking at JPMorgan's Liink, there is no proof that this is anything more than a cynical publicity stunt to try to capture some of the money sloshing around in the crypto hype. Most of its touted features are things that could have been done without blockchain and should have been done decades ago if they were willing to invest in modernizing things.

Frankly, that framing is deceptive. I really, really doubt people needed to be "pushed" to use oil and gas over the last "centuries."
So let me get this straight: now, we're not allowed to ask people if they can perform an __essential function of the job__, without being labeled "inhumane"?

I think there's a simple solution to the problem of algorithm testing and Leetcode problems in hiring: every company should run their hiring technical test on their current staff, at random, on a regular basis. If the current staff can pass then the test is a valid one. If they can't then it isn't, and they should update it to be a more realistic task that the current staff can do.
I built a garden reticulation system using a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a relay board and 12v solenoid valves bought off eBay, and integrated it with HomeKit for automation. Compared with what’s on the market, it’s easier to use and cheaper.

You don't need to get rid of "the government" if you control the state and everyone's minds via lobbying, corruption, propaganda and other means.

> Can we agree that that n corrupt and power-abusive Government is far more dangerous than Amazon (or any other corporation) could ever be?

Absolutely not. "The government" is the puppet, the owners of companies like Amazon are the puppeteers. Power comes in many forms. Coercion comes in many forms.

ZIRP may change sticker prices but those are still ultimately determined by ability to make monthly payments.

The unaffordability of monthly payments is the housing crisis, and that stems from inadequate supply.

Population is flat over the last two years, while housing units are up and the construction rate is all time high. There is no crisis, just rampant speculation that ate through active inventory.

The actual data is very clear on this (FRED), despite the word of mouth "shortage" narrative.

Now that the narrative is turning, inventory is skyrocketing as you would expect, and we will be in a glut within 6 months. Look at the "all time low inventory" of the 2000s as another example. How quickly did the inventory narrative collapse back then? A few months

There's not a crisis if you already own your home and are collecting those sweet sweet land rents. And by denying the existence of others' problems, those who own land get to collect ever higher economic rents.

Unions. One of the major set backs for building more in Bay Area and San Francisco is not NIMBYism or zoning. It’s because construction unions have a big say with the counties and they have a big voice during elections.

Anything that involves mortgages and the govt has to necessarily support unions and work with them. They don’t like modular homes as automation will replace union jobs.

For me there's sort of a spectrum from (1) "I want exactly this name brand X" to (2) "I need something cheap that does X". Amazon used to pretty comfortably cover both of those scenarios, but lately I've been leaning more and more towards ordering direct from the OEM for (1), or from Ebay/Alibaba for (2). Amazon still occupies some space in between, but it's narrowing.

It's hard for me to express just how incredibly brilliant this game is and how beautiful it is to play.

What's incredible to me is that the successfully make a game where all of the progress is through information gained while exploring, there are absolutely zero artificial barrier to progress. Once you know the world, you can finish in one play through.

Most games cheat regarding exploration by tying exploration to unlocks in the game. As a huge metroidvania fan, this is can still be amazing.

reuters.com is downweighted the same way most major media sites are, and Elon Musk stories are downweighted the way most celebrity names are.

You're correct that those downweights prevented this submission from making the front page, but that's the system working as it is supposed to. Front page space is the scarcest resource on HN. The default pressure is all towards sensationalism and copycat filler, so we have to do things to keep it more interesting than that. This includes software penalties, manual moderation, and community moderation (e.g. flags). The system is far from perfect, but I wouldn't single out this case as an example of brokenness.

There are workarounds for downgrading microcode, because the CPU itself doesn't actually have non-volatile storage for microcode updates and relies on the motherboard firmware to upload updates on each boot (and motherboard firmware can often be downgraded, possibly after changing a setting to allow that).

Which is probably why Intel has changed to disabling AVX512 using fuses in more recently manufactured Alder Lake CPUs.

That is not at all how the FBI operates. If they suspect you of operating a child porn ring they aren't going to just show up and ask questions, because if you are operating a child porn ring you will have nuked the evidence before they return with a warrant. They show up with a warrant. They will not allow you to touch the computer, because they won't want you to have a chance to nuke the evidence.

In any case, you don't need a clean record, good credit, or a tech job—which would actually be a liability here—to have an account with a domain registrar.

Most people don’t know how to interpret financial information, nor do they know how to value equity (with or without the financial context). You can look at equity crowdfunding to see how completely underprepared most people are for assessing company financials: pretty much every normal person defers to business leaders narratives to assess a business, and if you trust a business enough to join it, then you probably trust the leaders enough to buy their narrative — with or without financials.

> Most US companies will hire remote "inside the USA" but not outside the USA due to potential foreign tax and legal liabilities.

That’s not a unique feature of the USA. It doesn’t matter what country you’re incorporated in. You’re still obligated to follow the local laws and tax codes of any foreign country you hire in. Technically some companies (shady crypto plays especially) will try to incorporate in a weird location and then flaunt laws and pay people “under the table”, but they’re just breaking those laws, not escaping them.
But is there anything else that might have changed over the past two years thay might add some nuance to it? Such as massive shifts in where people want to live, how much space they want, etc.

Looking just at the past two years ignores them past 14 years since the 2008 crisis, from which housing construction is just barely beginning to recover. And houses under construction is not completed house construction rate; each individual build is taking far longer because of supply chain issues, so it looks like there are far more houses in the pipeline, but there isn't actually an oversupply of housing by any means.

If there was an oversupply, we'd see flatter prices, or maybe even declines. Housing prices are quite sticky, but we aren't seeing either massive vacancy rates or falling prices.

>Revisiting that nostalgia in 2022 recently, and I've found the joy from an album isn't really what it used to be

Maybe you haven't found the right albums? You should listen to St. Vincent's first 3 albums - they are really good. More recently, Emma Ruth Rundle "On Dark Horses" is fantastic, or anything by Lisa Hannigan. Recording artists are more and more aware that people are not consuming albums in one sitting, but that's still how music is produced! Vinyl is one reason but another, I think, is that "album" is the most useful abstraction for the artist to think in when it comes to making a thing.

Newborns aren't generally buying houses; the population was growing 25 years ago.
I agree, but I'm generally disappointed with the information the recruiter is able or willing to provide.

Something I've noticed more recently is the standard equity info they send everyone is both light on details and heavy on "here's how much you stand to make if we exit at X". I can't blame them for selling it, but I shouldn't have to ask for shares outstanding, latest 409a or other simple numbers.

That's a given. Nobody's making paper by clearing old growth forests. 98% of virgin paper fiber is from fast growing softwoods in managed forests.
