Anyone could build such applications that they might hope become the biggest in the world, but there is still a conglomeration effect. You have centralization, but anyone can become the center. This is displayed by your "biggest in the world" winner takes all perspective. For decentralization, the graph of connectivity has to not have these large communities. There would be no single Twitter (unmoderated or otherwise) that is the biggest by far.
> a) Web3 doesn't prevent centralisation. Look at NFTs and OpenSea and how it manipulates the output of the blockchain to flag/hide stolen NFTs.

No one, including OP, is arguing that web3/blockchain/whatever is "solved." It's obviously very new tech with tons of flaws. Why can't we have a frank conversation about the flaws and work on solutions? Instead on HN we get brainless vitriol against ANYTHING blockchain related and arguments that decentralization is unnecessary (just use a database, duh! Just trust Google, duh!). The whole thing is frustratingly dishonest.

> b) I don't use Facebook and Google only for search engine. So those aren't walled gardens for many people.

Facebook, Google, and/or Apple control your life. You can't even operate a phone without one of them.
I'm using overhive, that uses tmux+Procfile and seem to do the job. mprocs seem a little bit narrow but if somebody adding such a function to the project from scratch, maybe worth looking.
I’m not sure the question of “will k8s save me time” is particularly easy to answer.
"Contra" means "against" or "in contrast to"[1]. The author has a position that is against Wirecutter's position. It is a Latin borrowing.

In all it’s bluster, this article forgets to add the fact that the Wirecutter actually tested the IKEA device, and didn’t just go by theoretical specs.

> Tim tested the Förnuftig in his 200-square-foot spare room, using the methods described above. But rather than focusing on its performance on 0.3-micron particles, he noted how well it removed 3-micron particles from the air. (IKEA confirmed that this was the appropriate size to look at; it’s the closest to PM2.5 that our TSI AeroTrak particle counter can measure separately.) The Förnuftig disappointed, even when we considered that the test room was larger than the machine is meant for, as it removed just 85.2% of 3-micron particles in 30 minutes on high and 73.6% in 30 minutes on medium. Its performance on 0.3-micron particles was, as expected, worse: 64.5% removed on high and 53.5% on medium. Compared with our budget/small-space pick, the Levoit Core 300, which removed 97.4% and 92.6%, respectively, of 0.3-micron particles and virtually all 3-micron particles on the same settings, that’s very poor.
>But in Florida there is a law now saying teachers can’t talk about gay people in school.

If only you weren't misrepresenting the Parental Rights in Education bill[1] you'd have a point. There's no reason why a teacher needs to discuss sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. with kindergartens, be that heterosexual or homosexual. That's a private matter that has no place in a classroom, less so in primary grade levels.

> I do think radicalism individualism where you just can't comprehend doing things that benefit your neighbors over yourself because a cooperative society is stronger as a whole is somewhat uniquely american

My neighbors are American. I'm not sure how you don't see the argument you're making is just the globalist version of mine.

A lot of your argument seems to be rooted in idealism. I don't want my country to collapse because we were so arrogant to think we could save everyone.

> You do this because if you don't get your own mask on you'll pass out and then both of you will be fucked.

Yes, that was my point. What do you think will happen if America is trying to help it's allies while it is bleeding out?

I completely agree. I don't expect everyone on the team to be like this but having seniors that are is very important. This subdivision of tasks does result in an "over the fence problem" and people need to work both sides (all sides might be a bit much but having people work at least partially beyond their title is something which is overlooked)
After waiting 20 seconds for that page to load for some reason, I scrolled all the way to the bottom without being told what it does.

There are far too many web sites like that. Not just crypto-related ones. The ones with a flashy design, a blank for your email address, and far too little useful information. I refer to this as "the giant sucking sound of the onboarding funnel".
As of 2019 California had domestic out-migration for under-100k earners and in-migration for >100k earners. Plus overall immigration.

That might look different post-Covid, but that was a recipe for an affordability disaster even without growing faster than the US as a whole.

(I think the high-asset crowd is overall at least as responsible as just the high-income crowd, though. Billionaires gentrify the millionaire neighborhoods, the millionaires displace some of the 500kinaires, etc, etc.)
Most likely, your offer is just too low.

Senior developers almost by definition have experience with their own market value and plenty of offers from their network. If you're going to offer less than what a friend's company offers, you'll need to have insanely amazing tech to compensate. And I'm always assuming that companies pay badly if they are cagey about naming the salary. I mean you also didn't say if you were offering $100k or $300k annually.
As just one example, Most of the USA's building codes mandate double staircases in buildings over 3 stories for outdated fire concerns which increases cost per unit mainly by reducing the number of units that fit in a given site and the arrangement of those units.

VR elections next. Can't wait to chose between Jack Johnson and John Jackson.
I opened a business account and had this happen instantly. It asked for my age, which as a company was 1, so I put that and it instabanned me for being underage. It also didn't help that the website signup didn't work well and lastpass kept trying to autolog me in every step of the way making me look like a spam bot.

I had to send the same pic of me holding license thing, it was intrusive. It took a few weeks to get through and eventually the replies just started coming back in Bangladeshi, and I could tell from the signatures where the support was taking place (as if the translate wasn't enough). I have an account now, but what a bullshit experience. Why not be more clear on requirements (i.e. age) and not even allow someone to put 1?
Some ways to use zero knowledge proofs for privacy
1. Android also has a browser. It is an important platform with many users.

2. Building an editor is so complicated that most organizations want to do it only once. They build a web editor, and wrap it in a native app. The shell like file browser, sharing screens, etc are “native” but the editor surface is a webview. This is how Quip, Dropbox Paper, Google Docs, Notion, etc work. Even iOS worked this way initially for all editable styled text (per https://twitter.com/kocienda/status/1400484473540513792?s=21...)

3. If you are going to bet the core competency of your business on a framework, it’s important to understand the motivations and limitations of said framework.
> Javascript is cool but no websites really need it. You could build a website without javascript. There's really no reason for it to exist other than to enrich the pockets of consultants. It's not solving any problem on the internet.

That was a perfectly reasonable position to hold until, like, Google Maps. Meanwhile we're 10 years and counting into the crypto hype and still zero legitimate use cases where it adds value.

Well, no, it would work way better if he had no bias. Otherwise you have to trust that he's aware of his bias and is somehow capable of separating his opinion from reality. Otherwise how does it help anyone make a financial choice?

Many people said it already but actual good seniors have networks they get offers from and won’t/don’t do homework. I can see myself apply to your offer, but with decades of enterprise experience, up to date skills and such I cannot see where homework fits. That is why, as a senior, I do not apply but get asked for things and those jobs don’t have homework or tests as they are referrals. I would take a look at your concrete offer but I do not know the actual offer or company; feel free to mail me, I have a lot of highly skilled friends who might be interested, minus the homework.
All valid criticisms, especially the slowness and heavy page sizes. Another perspective on 3 of your points though (and a free quality-of-life tip!)

> For a while, we had tickets in done states that just roll over to the next epic, like they were still open. Nobody knew why, and it went away with nobody making any fixes to anything.

I almost guarantee someone forgot to set the resolution field when creating a workflow transition, noticed and went back and fixed it.

Agreed that the UI is jank AF, but it works reliably on the order of tens of thousands of tickets at a time.

Almost every operation you want to do this for can also be done by right-clicking and “move to.” There’s “move to top of backlog”, “move to sprint x”, “move to top of column”, you can also ctrl/cmd click (or shift-click) to select multiple issues.

Why would it be identical? If one's in a better school district, then that would be a good reason for one to be of greater value than the other. That the one in the other school district has sufficiently higher demand that it has ten times the residents as the complex across the street further suggests a higher land value and therefore higher LVT.

Where are you getting the idea that half the cost of constructing an apartment is a result of energy efficiency requirements?
Label-as-curator is definitely a thing until the label gets too big. There were a few times in the nineties and noughties where I bought a sampler CD from a label because it had a track by an act I liked, and it would introduce me to other acts on that label who I went on to buy more stuff from.

If a label owns subsidiary labels it is probably too big for this to work any more. If any of those subsidiary labels have multiple imprints of their own then it's definitely too big for this to mean anything, "Warner Brothers released this" tells you next to nothing about what to expect.
Dictionary definition of contra: "against; in opposition or contrast to"

So "Contra Wirecutter on the IKEA air purifier" means that it is an essay in opposition to the opinion of the Wirecutter.com website regarding the IKEA air purifier.
I tested a pair of Harbor Freight calipers on a set of gage blocks at work, and they were accurate. They don't always drive exactly to zero, as one other post mentioned.

Something I did notice is that the newer Mitutoyo calipers at work have a much faster display update, making them considerably easier to use. They also had more smooth motion, though this is subjective.

For home use, bike repair, etc., the cheapies are good enough. Given that my colleagues prefer digital, I've got the cast-away dial calipers and am perfectly happy with them, plus an old Mitutoyo vernier at home that I use, just because.

Because unions could increase wages, stop the scams companies like to pull with options, and push back on under-staffed expectations of the impossible.

Companies benefit by taking as much of the profit for themselves as possible, rather than doing right by their workers. Some of that pressure comes from VCs or shareholders, but even in private companies it takes a rare founder to put a worker's interests ahead of their own.

> It is centralised in the hands of a few companies but that's because people trust those companies.

You trust them. I don't. Now what? Are you saying I'm forced to trust them, because you do?

For every story of crypto projects going awry we can find a story of Google shutting down someone's account without any recourse, Apple abusing their App Store position to ban reasonable content (commentary on sweat shops or even mildly adult content), or Facebook accidentally toppling an entire democracy.

The reality is that these centralized systems aren't some panacea and you are frankly naive to be so happy about using them for the rest of your life.
> Who do you think? Who wrote the article? The word 'my' might be a hint.

I am challenging how someone arrives at that conclusion if they are the judge (which seems implied). Sivers gives nothing at all to indicate - not even anecdotes - as backup for the improvement. His statement is general and broad.

Let's say he was instead describing writing he did for school or for work. So before he applied his technique he was rated or judged a certain way (grades, reviews). Then he started to use the technique he describes. He then gets better grades or reviews. In that case he concludes 'it improved my writing more than anything else' (and I might still ask 'what are the other things you tried that did not work'. But in this case all he says (again) is a very broad and not in any way backed up 'it improved my writing'. And he claims 'advice to anyone who writes' he can't be serious using 'anyone' in that 'polished' sentence other than to get people worked up over a blog post and talking about it (which to be clear is a technique that bloggers use)

> Would you give him permission to describe one practice he adopted while writing without describing every single step he's made in learning how to write since he was a child?

People read what others have written and critique. My guess is that if he read my comment he might think that someone thought a certain thing and wonder and then maybe he would learn and/or make an adjustment. Not the reason I made my comment but there is nothing that indicates he should not be criticized or that others can't learn from the statements that I made whether they agree or not with what I said.

> It's suggesting that you write one sentence per line, polish the individual sentences

Again he is not even indicating when his technique matters. I write every day (for sales) I get very good results (judged by replies and results). In my case I don't have to polish every sentence I write enough and have enough feedback that I find that sometimes you don't even want to care that much because that in itself (in certain situations) telegraphs something.

You don't think starting a post with this is a bit to broad:

"My advice to anyone who writes: Try writing one sentence per line."

Seems very clear to me 'advice to anyone who writes' seriously 'anyone'?

In Australia, I have been unable to find _any_ dumb TV's over 40" for sale any more.
I've checked a variety of stores online and none offer them anymore.
I managed to pick up a 50" 4K TV from 'Kogan' a few years back and was hoping to get a second (ideally larger) one. But alas. That's not an option.

As alternatives. I believe it's possible to get sinage/display TV's which are still dumb (but much more expensive) and one could look at getting a huge 'computer monitor' as well.
It's good never to underestimate your enemy out of pure spite, it prevents loss in battle and war.

I also think you entire missed the tense of my answer, which is that they are _getting experience_ in the present, while staying freshly rested. Like it or not its a fact. And ever since the first week (when they arrested 450 officers of various ranks for a litany of failures), you haven't seen mass desertions on their part.

So yes, compared to the Ukrainian Army they are fighting, their morale is actually very high.

And as for repairs and maintenance, spend some time on Russia propaganda channels. Among the voluminous thrash you can discard, you'll see vids of the various large field repair centers where yes they do replace on the regular artillery cannon tubes and a lot of parts for a lot heavy stuff they have, not including their own ghanima.

Also, in regards to maintenance, see above commend about arrests.

Moreover, according to various unconfirmed but western sources, 4500+ mechanics've reportedly been hired by the Russian MIC last 3 months. They gotta be working on something don't they ?

And again, Ukraine, if look the large amount of defeatist interviews of western and ukrainian leaders (including their chief of staff), is completely unable to do any of that, and is losing badly.

Modern wars are as much wars of industry as wars of logistics.

> Unless one company could find a way to produce goods with less energy than their competitors, or obtain its energy from cleaner sources, perhaps by investing in solar power.

Sure. Let’s take that solar power investment: under your proposed regime, the cost of the supplies and materials and electronics of the R&D employees would be bear a carbon tax. The electricity to power the lightning and electronics would beat a carbon tax. Any transport they use will bear a carbon tax. The food they eat will bear a carbon tax. The mines the materials for the panels will bear a carbon tax. The transport of the materials will bear a carbon tax. The equipment for extraction will bear a carbon tax. The factories which produce the panels will bear a carbon tax. The intermediaries that ship and handle the panels will bear a carbon tax. The infrastructure to connect it to the grid will bear a carbon tax. And I’m sure I’m leaving out several thousand items, but that’s probably why the serious proposals say to just do it at the plants and refineries, I.e. increase the cost of energy directly.

Taxes are not a cost in the way supplies and materials are and a carbon tax doesn’t make the “cost of the good” more real, just higher. They are a fiat cost, hence the need to tie to something real: the cost of governance. Consumers do not accept lightly increases in their cost of living, as you can see in the present moment with the current price of fuel in the US and the likely parties to suffer in upcoming elections.
there is this deeply unsettling thing about innovation: it's historically been driven by people who did not need to work and had free time to explore.

Is it?

I would guess that I need a computer that has graphics acceleration to run the mighty client at a reasonable speed. I need at least enough memory locally to run the mighty client + the base OS it runs on.

My experience of using Zoom, Youtube, etc has been that video streaming is much more intensive than rendering text webpages, like hacker news, in a local browser instance. Maybe they're sending down local draw commands instead of actual video, which maybe helps some?

I wouldn't be surprised if the system requirements for Mighty are almost identical to the system requirements for Chrome with <150 tabs and an adblocker installed.

In reality, the $30/mo for mighty is on top of a computer, not instead of one, since you still need a computer _anyway_ to use Mighty.

I don't see system requirements listed on their website to compare chrome vs the mighty client, which honestly seems like a bit of an omission for something that talks so much about performance.
