location, location and .. location. These overview numbers are as real as having 2.5 children! Here in the San Francisco Bay Area -- poster child for terrible outcomes in housing -- nothing stated above rings true. The whole State is gridlocked in anti-building systems. specific example: when a massive 2017 fire burned more than 3200 homes in the Santa Rosa area, more than a billion dollars eventually was paid out in settlements, yet now five years later, less than two thousand homes have been rebuilt. Is that due to more than a third of the all owners choosing that? hardly likely..
Thanks for your answer. I partially agree. I was born and raised in a small town, where jobs were few, but there was this BigTech office. I started there as an intern, became a full time employee and stayed for around 2 years. I left it to work at a cooler project with better pay, but it was a 3h drive from/to my place - moving wasn't an option because I was taking care of my parents. I left after 1y due to the commuting time, and joined a startup as one of the first hires - stayed 2y there but investors pulled the plug, the business wasn't growing fast enough. So out of a job I decided to move to a bigger city and got a good job, was promoted to lead a small team after 1y and really liked it. After 2y there a colleague also new to the city offered me a position at another BigCo paying 2x and leading a bigger team, so I accepted. Turns out the company had a horrible culture and I got burnout, depression and anxiety attacks, and I still have nightmares of execs yelling shit at me. Finally, I left so here I am, 6th company, it's going well and I got a raise after my first year.
That's just to say I may have made junior mistakes and then some bad life decisions but it doesn't mean I or people with similar stories don't have soft or managerial skills. Technical skills that are only obtained after multiple years chewing the same product are another thing, though.
In feedback like this I filter out the useful information. No need to hurt your ego, or go on the offense, if you instead respond by asking questions that show you do care and understand you will often get a more humble response.
For example, by not allowing one to create a parametrized method. `func (self SomeNonGenericType) Foo[T any](param T) T` is not allowed, best one can do is `func Foo[T any](self SomeNonGenericType, param T) T`.

Mobile data in NZ is pretty good nowadays, for NZD $60/mo we had unlimited/unthrottled 4G broadband good enough to play FPS games on. In Canada the best we can get is CAD $169/mo for average to middling speeds with pings over 180.
Simplifying makes learning easier. But there is a limit. The problem starts when the simplification removes critical functionality.

> With all the countless ways a deal for anything can fall through

Except there's a very limited number of ways for the deal to fall through, and the contract is public.

https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001418091/e61e437...

The question is now if the law applies to Elon Musk or not. I hope it does, because laws only work if they apply to everybody equally. There's no part of the contract that says Elon Musk can leave because he messed up his bot calculations.

Maybe Twitter blinks and decides not to fight a billionaire over the issue. But if that happens, then we're in a situation where we tacitly agree that billionaires don't have to follow the law (because they figure they can leave any contract they sign unilaterally)

There are a few tiers of fake products. The same is roughly true for sneakers, handbags, etc.

(A) Real products that are being sold on the black market, think of these as stolen from the factory. They're cheaper because nobody is paying the royalties.

(B) High quality knock offs that are made at the same factory with the same materials and tools. These might be slightly less well made.

(C) What you think of as fake. Just junk.

Most people encounter A and B without ever knowing it.
> The entire operation (warp speed, building and funding multiple vaccines at once to only keep the working one at the end) was something the government designed _decades ago_

That’s just not possible. Rapid-response vaccine platforms didn’t exist.

And indeed [1]

> The idea for Warp Speed was hatched in early April, says the official, a scientist, who was given permission to discuss it with Science if his name was not used. "Looking around, it became clear that without a really heroic effort, none of the existing efforts to produce vaccine was going to lead us to have vaccine to prevent what looks increasingly like a second wave that could sweep come October, November."

Someone will read a blog post about slow generics, ignore how it evolves, and tell every coworker for then next 10 years that go generics are slow
I'm hopeful, but the blog post doesn't say "Go generics have room to improve", it says "they're not bad". And they kind of are right now. I can see a road to how they can get better but it's not really very honest to present just this example as indicative of how they work.
My basic assumption is that with online marketplaces, you inevitably get scammed. As a seller you get scammed out of your item, as a buyer you get scammed out of your money.

The platforms hide behind an EULA, the police are both disinterested and powerless. I've reverted back to good ol' "Meet me at $place, bring cash." Preferably picking a place like the police station lobby.
Wow!

Thank you so much for this, I will for sure try and play around with this.

It's incredibly implausible that it's what he's saying on face value because a million other people seem to understand what Twitter was referring to around monetized monthly users or whatnot, and the idea that he didn't at first and then realized this other number was actually make-or-break is ludicrous.

Like, you can sign up for free. What's gonna prevent fake accounts in that case?
What I'm saying is that installing an alternative OS should be as simple as plug in the USB stick, reboot, select "bloody well install this", enter your username and password, done. OEMs, with pressure from Microsoft, are making this harder every year. Of course OEM install is the gold standard, but I suspect we're ~[MS budget]/[all Linux businesses combined budget] years away from that. In the meantime, let's move on from 90s UX[1] and actually make the process easy on users.

[1] UEFI GUIs are an improvement, but they still have 95% of the same usability issues of text-based BIOS: 1000+ settings with no hint what each of them means, XTLAs only understandable by hardware+kernel experts, unfamiliar interaction patterns like not having a big friendly button to just save and reboot, and so on.

Scalability from day 1???
No sir, that is how you end up with premature optimization, k8s,microservice architecture and 3 deployment tools, abstract classes and factories for all those future usecases and dao's

You probably should focus on really understanding the problem your software is trying to solve first, your next few versions(iterations) will be to adjust your solution you thought would work. But you usually only understand the problem and the shortcomings of your solution (software) after the first few version.

All while you probably haven't even considered product-market-fit or talked to a few customers.

Focus on scalability day 1, definitely a big no in my book !
As usual, it depends on what you mean by my development side projects. You will need to be more explicit on your use case if you want to get helpful suggestions. I own an M1 MacBook Pro and I can do any programming projects I'm interested on it.

> You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater.

I am so tired of seeing this overplayed urban myth. The precedent you mention was set by Schenck v. United States in 1919, but it was partially overturned later in Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969 [0]. Which is the part that people who bring up this myth every time conveniently forget about.

So no, you can yell "fire" in a crowded theater or whatever else you want, as long as it doesn't meet the legal standard for imminent lawless action (e.g., a riot). And the legal standard for imminent lawless action is much higher than you think it is.

Ask HN: What kind of setup does HN have?
Checked HN’s official Twitter status page and it said there was issues with failing disks and such. But can we go into specifics here? Does HN’s servers use RAID? I would hope so.

I would hate to think this site is a fragile affair running on some low end box in a server closet with minimal attention to backups.

Read a few people joking on Twitter during HN’s downtime that HN should use Kubernetes and the latest cloud infra.

What setup does it have?
737 has had a digital cockpit since the NG launched prior to the turn of the century. That was a big deal at the time as they had to strong arm Southwest into taking it as-is and not creating a steam-gauge one-off. I guess DCAC/MRM was good for something after all.

An interesting perspective I heard recently from a housing developer: rising interest rates may cause housing to get more expensive, not less.

Getting a loan now for developing multifamily or single-family properties is significantly higher than it was last year. That means fewer projects are starting. Rent has already been rising, but may rise even faster next year as new supply dries up.

Single family houses may go down in price -- but we all know that isn't really what people care about if they're buying. They usually care about their monthly mortgage payment. And, obviously, that is likely to go up with raising rates, unless there is a very significant downturn in home prices.

The Fed's primary tool is interest rates -- but while we could use a cooling of investment into bubbly areas (like, maybe tech equities and crypto) -- we still desperately need more investment into housing. It's a shame that they will likely move in tandem and we'll just get less investment in everything.

Yes they knew, and they've been saying so for ages. They disclose it in their SEC reports. It doesn't matter.

What matters is that Elon has a bad time when he goes on Twitter because he is bombarded by bots and spam.

If there were only 3 bots on Twitter, they would all be bombarding Elon. If there were no bots on Twitter, he would still be bombarded by spam.

I guess you can't really use "I'm tired of my personal experience being terrible on Twitter" to raise money to buy Twitter, or to keep your fanboys engaged, or whatever Elon is thinking.

Personally, I think "I'm tired of my personal experience being terrible on Twitter" would have been a very honest way for him to approach the whole matter.

I also think that it is very natural for people to feel a threat or emotion or anger and then pin that on an external actor or actors, when it's something that they feel inside themselves.
Twitter says it’s going to sue Elon Musk for trying to back out of the deal
Like "fraught". Fraught with what?

But leaving it unsaid is more convenient all around.
What makes you say this? Ie that they have been misrepresenting the number.
For a typical suburban American home, 80% of the cost is labor and 20% is materials. This rule of thumb even applies in small cases - replacing the floor will likely cost you 5x more to have it done for you vs what the materials cost at Home Depot
> I’m sure Rogers will be forced to do a post-mortem for large commercial clients where contractually required, but I highly doubt we will hear a word from them about the cause of this or what was/is being done to rectify it. They probably have an ETA but feel no obligation to share it.

I'm sure there'll be industry wide participation in a post-mortem. Translation for non-Canadians... The head of the CRTC will book a tee time for him plus the CEOs of Rogers, Bell, and Telus.
Lion's mane mushrooms are one of the most easily identifiable mushrooms in my area. No dangerous lookalikes around here, YMMV. Unfortunately the only times I've found them are in provincial parks, so no harvesting allowed.

I highly recommend finding a local mycology society and seeing if they do any tours. Lots of interesting things to learn from them.
I'm increasingly getting the sense that SpaceX is the anomaly here and otherwise Elon has been steadily failing upwards his entire life. Is that just me? Obligatory joke: this is the only time Elon has pulled out (if you know you know).

Tesla's peak market cap is ~$1.5T. It's still sitting at just under ~$800B. Tesla sold just under 1M cars last year putting one metric at (currently) $800,000 per car sold in a year.

How does any of that make sense? Just watch as traditional auto manufacturers ramp up EV production. The Ford F150 Lightning is in my mind a bellwether. From what I've seen it's been incredibly well-received and that's only the beginning. Compare that to the often ridiculed and clearly beleaguered Cybertruck.

I really wonder if Elon's attempted acquisition of Twitter is just a symptom of him becoming increasingly unhinged (eg his screeds against the "far left"). I really wonder if this hwole thing wasn't motivated by the perceived injustice (according to him) of Trump being banned in particular and the idea that conservatives are somehow being silenced.

But maybe this is 5 dimensional Chess. One can argue this hass done a lot of damage to Twitter and Elon may be on the hook for more than the $1B breakout fee (which he will of course try and weasel out of). This may actually drag on for years.

Personally I'd be happy just disappeared into a lab in a remote location where he can build rockets without distraction. I can but hope.

I honestly think the skyrocketing valuation
Bad example. Australia is even more fire prone. The planning rules which say "sorry you can't build here now" have a solid scientific basis. Building fire resilient is hugely more expensive and not building to code is stupid.

I get that there's a lot of anger about Californian building regs but post fire lower build back levels isn't the peg to hang this on.

> Trademark violation should be enough for the moderation team I would assume, for most of the junk apps.

For clear trademark infringement or license violations, sure.

However, it'd be permissible, as I understand it, to build re-label-ware (not necessarily malware, but simply low-effort software built using FOSS foundations) using MIT/Apache and other permissively-licensed software and to publish that on app stores with price tags attached.

I have to admit: I'm not familiar with the types of apps that the policy intends to handle in practice -- but re-label-ware would seem like a rational opportunity for developers to pursue in a payment-enabled marketplace without rules to prevent them.

> The only way to solve this really is proper vetting of each app before it is accepted on the app store

That sentiment doesn't sit right with me somehow. Computers can run software, and attempting to gatekeep that process (in an evolving and culturally-diverse world) seems like a path fraught with problems.

Having transparency about what software is intended to do - and perhaps system-perimeter observability that helps users (and, with their knowledge, their friends and colleagues?) to monitor what it has really been doing (to inspect whether that matches their expectations) seems like a potential space for opportunity.
I'm genuinely curious now how you access HN.
And independent bookstore doesn’t even mean much to you because the whole reason to care that it’s independent is because it functions as a community space. All but a tiny sliver of the book profits are still getting slurped out of your community by the publisher anyway.

If it’s not more convenient or cheaper, and you’re not getting value from the space existing then you might as well just buy from Amazon.

It’s like some people got “buy local” hammered into their brains without any thought as to when doing so is actually beneficial.
My general feeling is that commerce has jumped the shark. You can make so much more money with scamming, the honest businesses are few and far apart. And nigh impossible to identify.

It doesn't feel like a platform problem, more of a societal fabric unraveling.
Do those happen before or after the beer drinking with the regulators?
Is his “financing secured”? It just seems like an incredible (and incredibly risky) long shot to me: a judge actually ordering a sale to an unwilling buyer (and Musk, of all buyers!) is a long shot and the big banks going through with funding such a big deal to an _unwilling_ owner is a long shot. But _even_if_ both of those two unlikely things happen what happens when the judge orders specific performance and Musk just... doesn’t? (Not usually a risk you have to factor in but with Musk I think this is absolutely a real possibility. Maybe even the most likely possibility.) Will they issue a warrant for his arrest? A daily fine for contempt? That would be the deal of the century for Musk.

I don’t know the right answer when you’re dealing with a megalomaniac like Musk but I really don’t think specific performance is it.

I am cautiously optimistic that whatever it is Musk is up to will eventually give rise to some cool new federal securities laws. Maybe even some new federal crimes! (Who am I kidding, a crime that only the wealthiest of the wealth would even be able to commit? Not in a million years!)

These stories make for interesting reading but I'm more interested in the crashes per miles of these cars and how they compare to other vehicles. Are they safer or are they not? Or are they getting safer vs previous crashes?

Given all the cars and all the distracted driver, there will always be crashes. The fact that this car got in a crash is not that out of the ordinary. It's likely to happen again. I just hope they become very rare.
But couldn't it just as easily lead to increased profits instead of decreased prices?
