You are putting words in my mouth and starting to get personal at the same time.

My conclusion was that the idea of profit share sounds good on paper but the math does not check.

The reason I say that is because math does not care about my feelings, what you or I want or what the idea suggests. It has to work.

If Kagi had $300M /year extra, and shared that money with 10M websites, that would be $30 /year or less than $3/month to a website owner. In my opinion that is not how you make impact and the cost of distributing this money would be more than what is being distributed. It is a terrible idea.

Now what can make impact is you take $300M and invest in something that can scale.
"The appeals court ruling notes Altstatt contested the city’s code enforcement actions that year. The city sued him in 2015, and he has battled the city in court since then, recently acting as his own attorney." (emphasis mine)

So he has an idiot for a lawyer. No wonder he lost.

Cryptos have value because their investors all agree that they do. That’s where it ends. If those investors stopped believing that, their value would drop to zero because there’s no underlying material value supporting it’s market value. They’re shared delusions, and arguably self-perpetuating high-control groups.

What I’m calling “real material value” are things like physical assets and profit generation capacity. Companies own things, and they use those things to generate profit, which in turn filters down to investors. This dynamic doesn’t exist in crypto.

Gold has real material value as a useful product, not simply a store of value.

I’ve only worked in finance for 6 years, and only on the technical side, so forgive me if my vocabulary doesn’t meet your standards.

If you’re actually disagreeing with the point that I’m making, and not just being pedantic, please let me know who you work for so I can be sure to avoid their services in the future.
I'll take a look at Counterpart! I heard the TV adaptation of The City & The City was pretty boring.

I'm reading The City and The City now and there are moments and plot lines where it feels like DE is the game adaptation of the book.
Just guessing, having few operable or inoperable tanks on the backyard would be ok, because of 2nd amendment ;)
omg...
> A neighbor complained, and the city cited him, claiming all the vehicles appeared to be inoperable. It also issued violations for other backyard items — car parts, generators, propane tanks and fruit that had fallen off his orange and grapefruit trees.

Cited for fruit that fell off of your own trees into your own yard. Absolute insanity.
Needing to argue about that, possibly in a lawsuit, with the tax office, would certainly negate any benefit of incorporating abroad to avoid some unspecified overhead.
This startup had a 2 year runway after factoring in their office lease. Dropping the lease (since no one was coming in anyway) would have extended that. But you're right about PPP. They got PPP money a few months after the pandemic started.

Prove me wrong. Show me the stat for housing units per capita.
Housing units per working age person is an all time high.

Show me the stats for housing units per household. Hint, it's the same as the year 2000 and in line with historically normal levels. 1.1 housing units per household

Show me the stat for rate of construction relative to population growth. Hint, it's at an all time high.

Show me the demographic trends? Hint, it's towards flat or negative population growth, with most boomers dying over the next 10y, and each successive generation being smaller than the last.

Where are your stats? Inventory, which has nothing to do with actual supply? What happened after the generationally low inventory of the 2000s?

Anyone holding to that peg as confirmation of anything is in for a rude awakening

I noticed this too, and I have a couple theories about it. Since the actors only contribute a voice performance, including a musical number might be easier to do in animation than in live-action. There's no on-screen talent that has to learn choreography or whatever, no difference between drawing the show's usual sets and whatever outlandish one the musical requires, and so musical numbers already fit the production of animated tv. The other thing I notice is that a musical number allows a single premise to be mined for multiple jokes and the dialog passes more slowly as its sung. I've wondered if writers sometimes run out of ideas and think it would be easier to write a couple verses of parody lyrics rather than new jokes.
Hmm - at some point we'll have to think about how fund further development, but the current plan for the github action is for it to be open-source (under a BSL-like license) and free to use!
Insanity. How on earth can anyone, let alone a judge with a law degree, think that this is at all reasonable (precedent or not). California really needs to clean house and get some fresh perspective in its legal system. Sidenote: I really do wish the US followed the doctrine of abiding by the "spirit of the law" rather than the "letter of the law" in trivial civil determinations such as this.

Because no one has created a good enough one yet. Maybe you can. I am in desperate need for something like that and often just write diagrams on a piece of paper for code paths I am trying to understand or debug. Many things were just ideas for decades until someone figured out the right way to do it. This is one of them. You'll know you're close when coding with the diagram is faster/better/easier than without.

Ask HN: What are some counterintuitive things in life?
I recently came upon the realization that doing some-things in life would actually bring the opposite of the result I was intuitively expecting.

I was wondering If anyone had a similar experience where they realized that doing something often leads to the other manifesting?

I recently got an equity offer that is a personal promise from the founder to do X in the future if Y happens. Sounds good to me. Because frankly, equity compensation is a total lottery anyway, so why not have it also depend on the trustworthiness of the founder too.

The tides are already transferring energy from the Earth to the Moon, making it go higher over time.

I suspect that adding more drag to the tides could either boost this process or reduce it, depending on the timing of the energy harvesting.

You aren't going to lose confidence in a company that has "whole swaths of items I won't buy" because of personal experience with being shipped expired food and obvious fakes? What would it take for you to lose confidence?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that are difficult to source outside of Amazon, so while I avoid any company whose co-mingling policy pretty much guarantees fakes, sometimes you just have to take your chances. Day Two can't come quickly enough, as far as I'm concerned.
I recently bought ~$2000 worth of various purchases due to moving into a new home, furniture, home goods, food, etc.

There was a window, from about 2007 to 2013, where basically any decently well made indie game that came to market would be financially successful. But the trick was, to get your game to market you had to establish a relationship with Microsoft, Valve, or whoever controlled the platform you were targeting.

Around 10 years ago the platforms started to open up and it got a lot easier to get a game into the marketplace. Seeing the success of the previous wave of Indie games and lower barriers to entry, people started to make a lot more indie games. Competition got more intense and finding financial success became less certain.

The worry of the "Indiepocalypse" is that as this trend continues, it will become harder and harder to make indie game development a viable, sustainable business. Which isn't suggesting that people will stop making indie games, it's suggesting that they will mostly be made at a loss and it won't be a viable business for the vast majority of developers.

The degree to which this worry has come to pass over the years is debatable.

This approach exploded fairly spectacularly in the UK for many of those deemed by the tax office (HMRC) to be using it purely as a device to attempt to avoid being "on payroll"

Even BBC presenters were setting up "personal service companies" to try and avoid taxes (allegedly at the urging of the BBC) and ended up owing the tax office a bunch of back taxes.

Sure, but the point of HN is to be interesting (specifically, to gratify intellectual curiosity), and unsubstantive comments undermine that no matter how many people agree with them. Actually, the larger that number is, the worse the effect they have.

Hasnt been good value for a while now. Shop around and you can always pick up a better deal. What Amazon sells now are mainly no name chinese brands of dubious quality and reliability. They're making plenty of room for other retailer to come in and snap up their market share.

All of this is true, but...housing markets are extremely regional. In the SF Bay Area, for example, despite much more new construction, there is still not nearly enough housing being built to satisfy demand, and as a result prices are driven extremely high. In other parts of the US, there is much more housing supply and relatively low demand, making housing more affordable.

Nationwide stats hide a lot of regional realities.

The issue there is that there is 20-30% chance of being disappointed. That’s far to high to justify for most people, I would estimate my threshold for confidence when purchasing something needs to be >95%.

I now only ever buy from Amazon if I’m stuck for time and need it quickly / don't have 10 min to shop around.
Working on a car on grass is an environmental issue. Oil and coolant are toxic.

Owning property lets you do a lot of things, but not everything i.e. making such a mess or danger that you affect your neighbors, like never cleaning up dog shit causing a fly problem, or making a neighborhood unseemly by turning a house into a junkyard.

I’m sympathetic to the man, that’s a massive fine, but it seems self inflicted when he could have obeyed the ruling, and sued the city at his leisure, avoiding the penalty costs.
Do they do any development still? I haven’t seen a single useful feature come out from the team during past 3 years. Their single tap feature is absurdly bad. For some reason, shuffle is never truly random and keeps playing same old songs. I know people have been complaining about this for years. There is no easy way to merge duplicate playlists. There is tons of things to do but I don’t think they have any development team anymore. They rode on popularity, founders cashed out, bought private islands and now they probably only have small maintenance team to keep the lights on.
Ah yes, my children being slaughtered in a school by a gunman while I stand outside listening to their screams and cries. "Fun and games". It's a horrible situation that no one should have to be in- but this is the nightmare scenario that our policies have created and sustained.

> - Why isn't diagram generation automated as part of the build process (UML or otherwise)?

This is very hard. And since it's hard, it's not automated. And since it's not automated, it goes out of date very quickly. I think that's the fundamental issue: keeping around evergreen documentation is a lot of overhead. There is no connection between the code and the diagrams, so it's too easy to change the code and not realize that the diagram needs to be updated too.

Another thing is that it's really the most useful for new members. If you've been working on the infra for a while, you already know the structure and you don't need the diagram. So teams tend to just avoid the diagrams altogether.
That sounds like an unhealthy paranoia.

No, lol.

That's what the world needs... More plastic garbage
There are a bunch of retro inspired games (ex Shovel Knight) that do the retro inspired thing. More interesting is a game like Celeste, where it has a 3D level select but during the actual gameplay, the characters move in integers and the screen buffer is still fixed at a low resolution.
That is a terrible batting average!
Let’s say it’s spurious and seemingly resource-dependent; data shape issues etc. would be apparent from the result data and maybe not need that much debugging.

Speaking from experience, a migration is also a pretty buffered operation (especially over a network), and stopping the migration at a breakpoint before the failure occurs will almost certainly give all layers enough time to flush this and that so that the problem magically disappears.
Aaaaahhhhh I’ll play a bit of the Devil’s advocate here and say: you don’t live next door. It might well be the case that living next door to this guy is hell on Earth.

>This is silly. Every system has a current noise floor based on whatever the thermodynamics of the system are.

Each fixed system has a noise floor, but there is no noise floor forced on all systems. You can design a system to have as low of a noise floor as you desire, digital or analog. Physics experiments routinely do it to detect extremely rare events.

As to thermo, it's almost like you ignored that I already wrote this, which I repeat: "both can be run easily down to thermal background radiation noise floor, then both need things like liquid cooling and other techniques if you want to go below". In common audio, thermal noise is often the biggest component of the noise floor in a system.

Hence the point to cool them. There is no floor except zero if you want to engineer such a system. And it works for analog and digital.

>If you can push the artifacts of your output below that then they will be indistinguishable from the noise.

Nope, you can signal below the noise floor using many techniques, such as spread spectrum techniques. This is used routinely for military and other covert operations. As usual, this is even Wikipedia level knowledge: "Signals that are below the noise floor can be detected by using different techniques of spread spectrum communications, where signal of a particular information bandwidth is deliberately spread in the frequency domain resulting in a signal with a wider occupied bandwidth." [1]

Heck, even everyday GPS signals are vastly below the noise floor, yet we use those signals all the time with cheap hardware. "The strength of received GPS signal transmitted from a satellite to the ground users is about −157 dBm below the noise floor of −138.5 dBm" [2]. This is all common knowledge among people doing even basic signal processing. Tons of everyday tech signals below their respective noise floors. It's not a rare thing to do.

You make many claims that are not true.

So, as to your claim that "the noise floor of a digital system is still way lower than what’s achievable with an analog one" - have a citation in a paper stating this? Have a theorem in a textbook? I'd like to see why you make this claim.

That attitude makes sense if you come from a low-trust society where the state apparatus thinks it's running an empire. Especially if the country is large and actively trying to reshape the world.

Things look different in a small high-trust country with multiple political parties. Because the country is too weak and insignificant to change the world, the government tends to focus on administering the country. Because there is a lot of trust in the society, the people who want to serve in the government are usually ideologically motivated to serve the best interests of the public. It's not a particularly lucrative or high-status career, so people with other motivations tend to go elsewhere. And while people may disagree on what exactly are the best interests of the public, there are many viable political parties to choose from.

Private firms are allowed to be evil in the sense that they can put their private interests ahead of public interests. Most of them are. And because they are private, the public has only limited means to regulate them when they misbehave blatantly. They can't, for example, vote the directors and shareholders out and replace them with people who promise to serve public interests.
