How about when every single company rewrote their frontend stack in React after angular.js was done, circa 2015? Or when everyone moved to k8s within 2 years around 2017-2019? Hell, now even companies that definitely wouldn't benefit from anything related to k8s are diving into it.

What I am trying to show by these examples is that things can move fast, very fast, and that in our industry there are no such thing as well-entrenched tools. Yarn got adopted within a year above npm, the "default node package manager". Everything is always up for grabs, if you can show the benefits, however small they are. And the history aspect of Jira isn't an unsolvable problem, pretty much every single issue tracker in the world offers a Jira import, and losing issue history is far less damaging than it was losing "commit" history when everyone was moving to git back in the days. If a company can show that their alternative to Jira solves a percentage of common complaints against Jira, while offering the same capabilities of scaling that Jira does, people will follow. Nobody wants to deal with crappy products. Especially since the ones suffering the most from Jira are usually the ones in charge of setting up the very processes that Jira is supposed to help with, and to procure the tooling.

> slap a 100% capital gains tax on any property that is not owner-occupied

This is backwards. Such a tax will be a strong incentive to never ever sell since the seller would hand off all gains to the tax man. Who would want to sell?

Instead, you'd want to actually incentivize selling if you're not living on the property. Make the capital gain tax very low, that makes selling it off the most attractive option.
Theres a couple things wrong with regional transit in the US

* it's rarely the fastest way to get to your destination, wherever it may be, so doesn't attract passengers

* to build on the above points, the suburbanization of jobs in recent decades has reduced the ability of transit to compete, since transit mostly performs best heading quickly into congested city centers; suburbs are also diffuse, which make them hard to serve with frequent transit

* labor productivity in US transit is really low. as a general example, in the US most commuter rail systems still check individual tickets on every journey, which is very labor intensive. EU systems tend to use proof-of-payment, which basically means most of the time you're on the honor system, but if a roving inspector catches you without a ticket you'll get charged a punitive fine worth several months of fares. transit unions are probably one of the few US unions with teeth left, and they fight anything perceived as cutting jobs.

* US systems charge flat rates as a kind of social policy for the poor, which is good for them but bad for the balance sheet

one thing to note is that pretty much all the North American agencies on the list, unlike most of the Asian and European ones also on the list, integrate bus operations, and bus operations pretty much never make money due to the lower passengers per driver and high fuel costs.
Completely agree with your take.
When I think of the problem what I see is the compiler pretends to be fast by forcing the programmer to deal with the problems. Bonus the solutions are inherently fragile and bug ridden. Which the programmer gets smugly blamed for.

How I Almost Did Not Graduate from Stanford University
As a reader, if I had to generalize; Dynomight is a SF-rationalist-substack-adjacent blogger with a good understanding of statistics. The 2 closest popular bloggers I associate him with are SSC and Gwern; both pretty popular on HN.

I particularly loved his blogs on the homelessness[1] and drug[2] crisis in the US. He? digs deep, does the statistical due diligence and usually finds conclusions that richer-academics-media houses have yet to find. I have found his arguments to be in good faith and are generally unencumbered by the political repercussions of said findings.

Luxury relative to what, exactly? I think people in America are generally accustomed to one-bedroom-per-child; that's the standard our popular media promotes. I grew up in a family of 5 with a 3 bedroom house; meaning two of us were always sharing a bedroom even as teenagers (we switched up who was sharing every year, meaning none of us had a fixed bedroom.) I think by American standards that was not entirely atypical, but certainly short of luxurious. But you seem to think 3 bedrooms qualifies as luxurious, and don't seem to make any consideration for family size.

In some countries, cultures or communities, a family of ten might be living in a single bedroom. Maybe anything more spacious than that should be your standard for luxury. Or further maybe; any shelter that keeps you dry is the bare minimum. If it keeps you dry and warm, that's luxury. Why not? If you get chilly you can use a blanket; furnaces are luxury. Do you really need anything more than a primitive FEMA tent? Running water plumbed straight into your home is a luxury, you can bring a water bucket to a community spigot every day. If you think that's too much work you're just being entitled.

> This is a gross misunderstanding of web3.

Literally everyday there's an article that is posted that completely misunderstands cryptocurrencies and the related ecosystem. The most common critique I see on HN of this is that NFTs are garbage and rug pulls suck.

Thats like saying the modern web sucks because a couple of shitty websites are live and you got your CC stolen by phishing e-mails. It just makes no sense as an argument.

Crypto has a long, long, very long way to go but if folks truly do not believe that transferring something that we believe to have some value (i.e bitcoin, or USD, or whatever) without the need for a middleman, while also keeping your funds truly safe from external control (i.e banks, governments, and the like) then cryptocurrency is simply not for you, full stop thank you for considering it.

In the first world, the full value of such decentralization and trustlessness will never be understood until they get burned like Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Cyprus, and other countries with massive hyperinflation and complete loss of wealth (temporary or not). The daily fluctuations of BTC are literally nothing next to the hyperinflation of the Turkish Lira, the Lebanese pound, the Zimbabwean dollar, and so on.

As a side note, its getting kinda tiring to see these boring, lame takes on crypto which seem as half assed as they are uninsightful posted on HN. Lets get some moderation done on this front IMO.

The dirty secret is that "affordable housing" is usually a certain number of "dwelling units" in a new development (think apartment building) and so they dump as much as possible of the entire cost of the building into the cost for the "affordable units".

If I am building a building with 50 high-end condos, I won't bother making cheaper ones for my affordable units, I'll just designate some as affordable and maybe skimp on the trimmings, but even then probably not much because of the hassle.

Comedians already know this from day 1. It’s incredibly difficult to say funny things for 5 minutes straight, let alone a whole hour special.

The people trying to limit the speech of comedians aren’t the same people who are going to comedy shows usually. That’s the core of the issue. The people who don’t like comedians having free speech typically aren’t into comedy at all.
If you're having this problem, your first step is to get the recruiter out of the process. Start screening all resumes yourself.

I've had some bad experiences with recruiters, both in-house and otherwise, and I feel they usually get screenings wrong. But there's an even more important reason for you to take over this process now: you don't know where your dropoff is.

You need to get familiar with what's going on. Are you not getting any good resumes? If so, then the problem is your outreach. Are you getting lots of great resumes but they drop off after the first call? Then the problem is your sales pitch on the call.

If it's your responsibility to fill this position, then it's time to get your hands dirty in the data and figure out where the problem is.

Without more data on where you have dropoff, these are my takes on your process:

- The other commenters in this thread are right: the 4-hour assignment is likely a huge issue. I'd be shocked if you didn't have a huge dropoff there. There's no incentive for senior engineers to do this type of thing, because so many companies want to hire them. It's better to take your chances on someone who seems good, and be prepared to fire them if it turns out you're wrong.

- You should put a salary range in the job posting. You said "benefits and salary are good", but literally the only reason to not list these things in a posting is if they're not actually that good. You may need to pay more for someone very senior. They may be expecting more -- even substantially more -- than the person who just retired.
If you feel like you have lawyer-up just to go to work, that’s probably a signal you shouldn’t be working there.
Ask HN: BeReal Shows Who Takes Screenshots with No Notice to Users
I've been enjoying BeReal recently, the new social media app that promises to not waste your time and encourages authentic expression. Most of human life is boring, ugly, and unfiltered, which is exactly what I see in my BeReal feed.

However, I think it is pretty sketchy of BeReal to not tell people about screenshot notifications. It turns out that if you take screenshots of BeReal photos, that person can see that you did it. It can be embarrassing to save someone's photo, on purpose or accidentally, and not realize that they will find out. There's no warning or confirmation process, so you might take a screenshot without realizing that someone else will know. The developers haven't written a blog post on this topic, don't mention this in their "Warnings" in the app store, and haven't answered open Reddit threads even though they clearly included this feature as a growth hack.

I think that BeReal should tell users explicitly that if you take screenshots, the person will know and see who you are. I believe this because I think your behavior in an app should be considered private unless explicitly stated otherwise. What do you think?

When some absurd cure comes along, and you question it's veracity, the common and often immediate (even vitriolic) response is to find some extreme edge case where the cure is effective.

This approach demonizes the questioner while justifies the cure for any and all ailments. Therefore shutting down any rational discussion on the merits of both the cure, underlying disease/problem and any concepts of prevention.
You're exactly right about software being exploratory, but I think the whole notion of fixed, up-front requirements is part of the problem.

In the lean analysis, the problem isn't changing requirements, which is a natural consequence of changing circumstances and people learning over time. The problem is building up a large inventory of poorly-tested, underinformed plans and then doing a lot of work based on them without taking advantage of the opportunities to learn.

Especially here on HN, we know that startups don't succeed because they come up with a fixed initial plan and then spend years marching to it. Instead we have all set of techniques for releasing early and often so we can see what really works for users. A key competitive advantage for startups is how their fast OODA loops allow them to run rings around larger companies that slowly drift into being very plan-based.
Etc is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Racist, homophobic, sexist, and transphobic jokes are really what we're here to talk about. Was it an intentional omission or an accident? Just curious.
The problem is that when you write the functionality yourself, you’re likely to be subject to the same number of, if not more, bugs per 1000 lines as mentioned in the article, especially if the project has a deadline to meet. Using unnecessarily bloated libraries might be a bad choice, but in general I think it is indeed a good practice to use libraries that are widely adopted and well rated in the community.

Also not sure if the Java world and JS world are that different to the rest, though in the community of Elixir which I work with, “bloated” libraries are practically nonexistent, which I think should be similar for most functional languages.
There are certain kinds of problems that don't allow you to overthink. If you are on a tight deadline and you need to get something done (e.g. fix a bug, add a feature) then the situation forces you to make _a_ decision and move on. You can only overthink when you don't have hard deadlines. So as an exercise, try to pick challenges that have deadlines (ideally external to you). It helps to work with other people, take up on some responsibility and commit to delivering.
anyway, it seems it takes 5 steps to get to the offer.

I am reminded of a thing I had an Accenture a couple years ago where they kept passing me along to people and the last one came with an offer and it was too late, I had just taken another offer.

Malnutrition death rate in the US is something like 1 per 100,000 per year. It's likely a large fraction of those are mentally ill people or neglected children.

Joe the Waiter buys a house in a rough neighbourhood with his partner Lance, who works a hospital caregiver job, and together, their relationship becomes a community fixture that makes that neighbourhood a little more desirable for other families, who move in, and leverage their property to send their kid to college, who in turn become engineers and lawyers, etc. Eventually, Lance dies, and Joe lives on his remaining pension in the house they had together, in a neighbourhood they invested their lives in and made it desirable and safe.

This hypothetical couple took a risk by moving into an area that was blighted by related naive policymaking the OP was advocating, and a LVT just penalizes them for their rapacious capitalist gentrification of a progressive policy failure.
Assuming I don't drop this computer and smash it to bits, I'll be able to keep it as long as my last MBP (a 2015 I bought new). So conservatively, let's say 5 years.

At $30/month, Mighty would be $30 * 12 * 5 = $1800 over that time period.

I paid ~$2500 for this computer, and use it for:

1) Browsing
2) Coding
3) Video and photo editing
4) Graphic design

So all things considered, while yes it's literally cheaper in terms of direct dollar and cents comparison, in terms of functional ROI, given that this computer runs a browser instance with zero lag or latency at all, it's a no brainer to just invest in the good laptop vs going with Mighty.
I mean, you've basically done nothing with the device. How can you claim it's not any good when you haven't even seen the fair-to-middling parts (Say nothing of the actually good parts)?

> color is fully and solely determined by the wavelength of the light

The incorrectness of this assertion is pretty much the first (and most fundamental) thing you will find in any book about color science. Then the rest of the book is spent elaborating about why this statement is false and explaining the technical details.

If you want a definitive definition of color, you can find one in the CIE’s International Lighting Vocabulary. But here is Mark Fairchild of the Munsell Color Science Laboratory at RIT, one of the world’s leading color scientists:

http://markfairchild.org/WhyIsColor/Questions/1-1.html

> Our eyes sense the light from the world around us and start the process of seeing color. You might think the light on these eyes is colored, but really it is your very own eyes and brain that are creating that color from the light coming from this picture.

> Color is a human perception.

> We see color because our eyes and brains respond to light present in the world around us. That light comes from light sources such as the sun, light bulbs, or even televisions. Sometimes that light interacts with objects before reaching our eyes and the objects allow more or less of the different types of light to reach our eyes. This makes different things look different colors.

> Color is part of our sense of vision. It is similar to how we respond to other aspects of the world with our other senses such as taste, hearing, touch, and smell.

If friends/family are already there, and as I said the restaurant is keeping me waiting at the door for more than 20 minutes? I'll freaking leave and SMS my friends to see them somewhere else.

Shit, if I HAD a job interview in said restaurant, the interviewer was waiting for me there and the restaurant blocked me from entering , I'll just call the interviewer to tell them the fact, and maybe even recommend the taco stand in the corner.

No freaking service is worth it. Not even Google, and I have all my emails since 2004 and docs in gdrive there. I'm a heavy FB user, but the moment they font want my data/usage to show me ads, I wont shed a tear.

Or even proud of sitting on extremely absolutist statements like 100% of all of it is going to be wiped out, or even the other side suggesting that everything is going to take over the current system.

Both outcomes are simply not going to happen and those supporting either of those outcomes will be disappointed.

Co-existence with the current system is the most highly likely outcome with some cryptocurrency projects staying around and meme-coins, tokens will disappear even after regulations coming in.
One solid argument I’ve heard from people who dived into NFTs is royalties. In this case, we discussed music royalties and how complicated they are.

With NFTs, there would be a huge boost in productivity in terms of licensing content (song for a movie).

I haven’t seen this mentioned in other threads nor is there a good current system, from my understanding.

(P.S. I know nothing about NFTs — just sharing a perspective.)
