Your article and body is completely unrelated to deposit insurance, which is the case you were trying to make.

As for the bailouts you were alluding to, they were managed at least in the US by the treasury, not the fed, and they were loans, not grants - that have since been repaid yielding $100B in profit, with more to come.

Fiscal policy and monetary policy are different things managed by different entities. Any new money that was created to support the stimulus was unrelated (after all the treasury could have apportioned any money) and has since blinked out of existence as the loans have been repaid.
That's all that matters.

Why can't we have a consumer organization that protects us from having to buy stuff that we don't want.

Wouldn't it be great if any product sold in mass quantities would have to pass a consumer/environment protection committee first?

The most likely route of getting something like this going would be to add cancer screening status to the NHS App [https://digital.nhs.uk/services/nhs-app]. The NHS app already provides access to a patient's basic medical history and prescriptions.

There is also quite a lot of work going on in this area that might be of interest: [https://www.nhsx.nhs.uk/key-tools-and-info/digital-playbooks...]

> someone is talented and driven and charismatic and a sociopath, then they are probably at an advantage compared to someone who is missing one or more of those characteristics.

As I wrote above, people seem drawn to the fantasy of sociopathic behavior. They fear it and thus try to master it, following its feared power. We fear it, and the sociopaths (of course) try to amplify that - because they are weak. Look at Vladimir Putin or Saddam Hussein. All it takes is one person to stand up to them.

Have no fear. The world isn't perfectly just, evil happens, but humans are much more powerful as social, not sociopathic, creatures. Good is more powerful, really; we vastly outnumber the sociopaths. No dictator's dominion has ever even approached the heights of democracies based on human rights. George Washington, Ghandi, Churchill - they weren't sociopaths. Putin is; Zelenskyy is not.

But good people do need to believe in themselves, to act, and to act courageously. That's almost all Gandalf did (in the books), is to remind good people of their power and courage. Right now, we are only missing a leader.
This article tries to put the blame partially on Ukraine. These media outlets are just extensions of the democrat party. The amount of money printed in the past 2 years, along with Covid shortages, are causing inflation. Stop blaming someone else, own it, and fix it.
I expect "free speech" advocates who claim that companies enforcing terms-of-service is censorship to lose their minds over this. First, by their definition, Truth Social is censoring their using. Second, Truth Social was explicitly going to allow free speech without the so-called censorship done by companies who enforce terms of service. Based on (1) and (2), this is exceedingly hypocritical of Truth Social.

Or maybe it's just that "free speech" and "censorship" and "enforcing terms of service" mean something that nobody has ever made explicit to me. Could be that, too.
This is the exact case that I have been in the last two years or so. As a greenfield project being one of the first in the newly implemented Agile work. Everything was amazing in the beginnig with quick decision making. However as soon as we 'went live' and were forced into the established change control workflow development grinded to a halt. We now implement features at a snails pace compared to before.

Research into this topic does not require watching porn, & definitely not disgusting black topics. There are enough victim reports and videos that show how bad the problem is. Those reports alone turn your hair white.
You said we don't know why we bother.. I figured you meant we should stop. The literal answer to that is we keep printing them because people keep buying them
My point is:

1) This is currently limited to a pretty restricted market (people who drive Teslas, which is a small subset of car drivers). When used more widely by a wider set of people, it may have a worse track record.

2) It isn't clear that such misuse has reasonable mitigations that will continue to make it attractive to use.

But it's all speculation at this point.
Ah cool. I use a Yubikey for macOS logon, BitWarden 2FA, and GPG secret keys. All of my passwords and TOTPs are in BitWarden.
> Most engineers when "empowered" and left to their own devices without much accountability go off on their own side quests that often add no value to the business, but scratch that engineer's curiosity. These side quests also tend to not contribute to business aligned goals.

The way FAANG fixes that is to make "impact" the first metric of their engineer evaluation process. Basically, you're quite autonomous to pursue your ideas, but need to be able to justify that you contributed the project in meaningful ways.
Well I feel it was successful on my old team. We weren’t micromanaged and owned our own process. We story pointed and those metrics were only ever seen and used by us. We got tons of value out of retros (had loads of difficult conversations with high levels of trust). We didn’t have a scrum master—everyone knew how to run all meetings and process. We worked closely with our customers doing rapid prototyping as to not waste time building features they only thought they wanted. We showed progress to the org via demos. I feel like it worked really well and really enjoyed it.

As far as no true Scotsman, I didn’t mean it like that—I don’t care if people don’t want to use scrum, but I do take light exception when people shit on it an go on to describe a process that is alien to me. Though I guess what my teen was doing was a bit more of a mix of scrum and XP.

> a correction would imply that housing prices are inflated by artificial factors, rather than actual demand.

One of those Silicon Valley house buying companies, forgot which one, took a $500 billion haircut a few months ago for their algorithm driving up prices above actual demand.

Haven’t heard anything since but I can guarantee they didn’t dump those houses at market prices, they said they were going to bundle them up and sell in bulk but don’t know how that’s working out for them.
My webOS TV has been online the whole time and it has just sat there in silent service without any stupidity at all. Hardly seems worth the trouble of jailbreaking it.
If you want to 'save the planet' by massively reducing road travel, you need to relocate the masses into very dense cities, places where public transport can work, where life without cars is practical.

As an added bonus, they're all now crammed into tiny apartments that don't require much carbon emission to heat or cool, and where they don't have space for many physical possessions (less consumption of physical resources, more spend/profits on digital/virtual products)

Meanwhile, the elite can have even more massive rural estates, and drive their luxury EVs on a near-empty road network to and from their private jets.

The problem comes when all the forced-city-dwellers want to escape their urban prison at the weekends... With real travel unaffordable if not outright prohibited, I guess that'll be where the 'metaverse' comes in?...
> One piece of advice that I think is actually quite bad, or at least I've had extremely bad experiences with, is asking people for something. I've often cold-emailed artists, programmers and other hobbyists asking them to make their work libre/free (artists CC-BY/CC-BY-SA/CC0, programmers GPL, hobbyists some type of OSH or CERN license) and I don't think I've ever gotten a positive response.

In case you’re interested in constructive feedback, what you’re doing here sounds more like advocating for someone to provide some social good, but couching it in passive language.

With you not knowing these people, the ask itself is extremely presumptuous and the approach you describe of using passive language likely lands on them as a passive aggressive maneuver. Many people find that that approach to be manipulative and offensive.

If you’d just like personal use for free, you should ask for that directly and maybe share why that would be helpful for you, so that they can approach it as an act of sympathy or charity.

If you are invested in the principles of free/libre works, then you should advocate for that directly explain why the principle is so important to you that you’d engage with a stranger about it.

In both cases, you’re still likely to get a lot of closed doors and hostile responses, but you would at least be doing these people the kindness of being direct about what you want and why you want it.

Unfortunately the NHS is [broken]— — — —[sub-optimal] (choose where on the spectrum you wish to stick your pin) “architecturally”. I dont mean technically, although yes there are problems there. I mean in the way the various parts of it are arranged as a whole and regionally. To fix this will require another major reform and since the UK has (foolishly IMO) collectively decided the NHS should be the national religion… nobody in power is going to reform it. It’s like the 3rd rail of British politics. Touch it and you die. A real shame.
If this original post (and thank you again for it) pops up on the HN homepage from time to time, it may be worth it if you have the time and bandwidth.
To be blunt, it doesn't really feel like a real world war unless there's substantial fighting in Europe. Other places as well of course, but particularly Europe.
Wow, this is a talk from June 1976. After this talk he published it as “The early development of programming languages” with Luis Trabb Pardo as a Stanford report in August 1976 (available online e.g. https://archive.org/details/DTIC_ADA032123), then "for real" as a contribution to a 1977 encyclopedia, and the definitive version collected as Chapter 1 of his "Selected Papers on Computer Languages". When that collection came out in 2003, he gave a talk at the Computer History Museum, under the title "A Dozen Precursors of Fortran", available here: https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/10262213... as a .wmv file; I've also reuploaded to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGt86UHRAXY

Talk description:

> The history of a subject helps us not only to understand how the important ideas were born but also to appreciate the amount of progress that has been made. The history of programming languages is a striking example, because basic concepts that we now regard as self-evident were by no means obvious a priori; many years of hard work by brilliant and dedicated people were necessary before these basic principles were learned.

> This talk will discuss contributions of Zuse (1945), Goldstine and von Neumann (1946), Curry (1948), Mauchly et al (1949), Burks (1950), Wheeler (1951), Rutishauser (1951), Böhm (1951), Glennie (1952), Hopper et al (1953), Laning and Zierler (1953), Brooker (1954), Kaminynin and Ljubimskiy (1954), Ershov (1955), Grems and Porter (1955), Elsworth et al (1955), Blum (1956), Perlis et al (1956), Katz et al (1956), Bauer and Samelson (1956), Melahn et al (1956), as well as the prototype of FORTRAN developed by Backus et al from 1954 to 1957. At least a dozen of these efforts will be illustrated by showing how a particular procedure called the TPK algorithm might have been coded at the time.

It may be interesting to watch this 1976 talk and the 2003 talk, and see if anything has changed in the history. :-)

"Linear and Geometric Algebra" by Alan Macdonald.

It's definitely not the norm compared to many of the other listings in this thread but it definitely gave me a better understanding of many algebraic properties and helped build an intuition around spaces, vectors, products, etc.

It doesn't have a ton of graphics, to which you might snub your nose at it (you mentioned visual learning), but the graphics it does have are incredibly useful for building a geometric understanding of what linear algebra concepts map to. The subsection on quaternions and pseudoscalars is one of the best descriptions of such in my experience.

Every year the passes in which prices go up means having to buy at a higher price. After a certain point, even if the market does correct, you may still never have a chance to buy at the original price you wanted but waited. It's not like gold or bitcoin, in which prices can crash and take forever to recover. Housing prices tend to be much more stable and recover from crashes faster, so this means fewer bargains can be found. You have to hold your nose and buy at a high price, often.

That... will require a significantly greater commitment from Nato allies, or the US.

Until Nato makes a greater commitment, the Chinese will (correctly) read this as a sign that in the event of a Taiwan invasion, the US will provide military support, but stop before committing troops to enforcing the status quo in the Taiwan strait.
>The fact that the entire thing can be automated, makes the entire thing pointless in my mind.

Hold on, so we should stop running tests in CI too?
It is a people problem. In a typical enterprise with multiple teams involved in every small thing, it is expected to see teams having their agenda and justifying their place/time. Kubernetes is an elegant platform to do just that, because it is so extensible.

As part of my job, I see thousands of small and medium businesses happily embracing kubernetes. They do not have separate devops or security or infra folks. A few engineers do it all. Yes, there are challenges with so many moving parts and rapid releases with breaking APIs. But expect that to be fixed in coming years.

Why so many DevOps jobs? Are you noticing the jobs being eliminated, or are you just seeing more DevOps jobs being created?

That only makes it even worse.

People just love this fantasy! Think about it: Do you have any basis for it? Some research?

See my response here:

Except people are incredibly bad judges of character. Naming the traits is the easiest part. Realizing these traits aren't binary and not as easy to judge in the open as they are in a vacuum, not so much. Meanwhile, the people in charge are all to eager to pass "not a team player" judgments over something far more complex than "not nice".

This also needs a fair reminder, people suck at communicating.
I think it's much more likely prices will continue to march higher for years to come. Don't see any reason for things to change. Still huge demand for certain area/neighborhoods.
I'm not sure what you're looking for. There's a lot of info out there about fossil fuel subsidies and fossil fuel lobbyists. If you have some particular subsidy in mind then you can research it yourself.

Your claim

> Capitalists never advocate for subsidies.

was very broad and absolute, going beyond any particular industry or even the present day. I'm really not sure but maybe you meant something like "advocating for subsidies is not a capitalist thing to do." In any case I'm not personally interested in whether there is a "capitalism problem" or "socialism problem" going on.
That's interesting when there's wiggle room for that.

I've led projects where there isn't (in defence). Specifications are prescribed exactly and in detail, deadlines are fixed and the ICs job is to implement and that's all.

It was a sad state of affairs, but one caused by software being a small cog in a massive machine that isn't software driven.

Outside FAANG and software centric businesses, the landscape of responsibility and the availability of autonomy can look very different IMHO

Less like craftsmen making fine furniture and more like an assembly line for IKEA furniture. Processes like Scrum form that assembly line which ... like it or not as an IC ... is appropriate in some businesses and industries.
I have enough of a model of people to understand why there's pushback but at the same time the leap from "asking for something" to "asking something for everyone" doesn't seem like a big one.

I also find it confusing how people can use clips from movies, songs etc. not in the public domain or use public domain works outright but not see how contributing to the commons benefits society.

I appreciate your comment but my feeling is that a closer understanding is that the overton window is such that fair use, public domain and old work enriching the commons are so taken for granted that people have forgotten how important they are.
I'm a writer. I was pretty insulted by their view that they could just give away books. The book stores were open. The digital delivery systems like Kindle were open.
More important to me than lack of “smart” features (as long as it is functional without using them or connecting to the internet) is responsiveness to user input. I just want a TV I can quickly turn on/off and change volume and input.

My current Vizio is extremely sluggish for some reason.

Maybe that’s correlated with smart features…
Exactly, the most important metric/question is whether it improves overall safety compared to the baseline.
I am pretty sure the channels are safe to use with multiple producers and multiple consumers (mpmc). But somehow I cannot easily find any official doc clarifying that.

Go doesn't do anything to help you with memory safety around concurrency. And the design of the language is also not helping you avoid logical bugs.

After using Rust, all other imperative languages feel like using an angle grinder with a wood saw blade and no guard. Sure you can do really good if you are careful. But thing will go sideways remarkably quickly. And with the constant urgency of shipping for yesterday. It makes sense most programs look like the aftermath of The Boys show.

Ask HN: Which iOS browser makes it easy to copy text?
One of my favorite pastimes is browsing the Web and collecting snippets of text into my pasteboard.

On iOS, I am often frustrated by the process of selecting and copying text. It is difficult to select text, and then the Copy menu doesn't appear, etc.

Sometimes it can take an entire minute or two just to copy a paragraph.

Then there is the pasting... I select the textarea and watch the Paste menu appear, then disappear as the keyboard slides into view, followed by several more taps inside the field...

Select All seems to have been removed as a feature altogether at some point.

Is there a browser out there that will, for example, show me just the main text segments from a page and let me toggle-select them, and then copy?

Any other ideas for my use cases are also welcome, in case I'm creating an XY problem here.

M1 added a lot of headaches to that... some older libs don't support newer Nodes running in native Apple Silicon mode :(

I debated between smooth scrolling and a more accurate pixel style, but the parallax effect without smoothing made everything really jarring :(
The idea that Management is a discipline in which one can be effective, independent of who or what one is managing, is silly. But it is a very convenient conceit for Managers of all stripes.

Your scale (50,000 VMs) is way too high for small and medium sized business :-)

Is my observation correct that unicorns start to see that scale?
I am pretty sure only dunning-kruger/kinda smart but very inexperienced developers write unmaintainable software like that. The best developers I know prioritize ease of shipping + maintainability and only make things hard when they need to be.

The type of person you're describing I have run into a few times but usually they are not considered highly talented at FAANG, more like the type of person to quickly hit career wall because they overly focus on coding instead of business objectives.
Nah, I can just make a task and make whatever UI tweaks I want. I mean, someone will probably complain about it eventually if I make some crazy change to the UI, but there's no process stopping me from doing so. Other than the handful of clicks it takes to make myself a task for the work.
