Would they? If 90% of users stay on apple App Store, they won’t.

It’s all about value they can provide, both sides.
There's no question that we've seen some sort of Great Awakening, with politics becoming a de novo religion, and that this activity is almost entirely concentrated on the left (perhaps because of greater competition from established religions on the right).
Love it! Better than other news I get to read these days. Some of it rings..like the bluebird suing the cat.

There is a lot of negativity in this thread; so here are some points supporting Intel.

1. You can't expect perfect drivers before the first generation of a product is fully launched.

2. The launch in China is not a full launch, but intended to be OEM only.

3. ARC works better on DX12 rather than DX11 [0] which is a reasonable engineering decision.

4. Performance on DX11 games given in the graphs are still reasonable for a low-end card (assume resizable bar works)

Wow this writer is bitter.
you could start by using actual data

your 80:1 stat seems pretty dubious -- do you have a source for it?
Getting feedback from users... And looking at statistics (what they don't tell you will show up in quantity analysis)
Ask HN: How are you planning to adapt to climate change?
Not how you're trying to prevent it, but what you're doing, or will do, because it's happening (faster than expected).
> source: 30 years working all sorts of jobs, from warehouse and retail jobs to executive and board roles.

Do you mind answering a few questions? I am kind of in a "should I stay or should I go?" dilemma with my current employment, and I have no idea what I want to do (I know more about what I do NOT want to do).

You've been working almost longer than I have been alive, and I am curious what you think (and others).

1. What job made you the happiest, and Why?

2. Did you happen to find any positive or negative correlation between life satisfaction/happiness and the amount of money you made?

I'm just your average, run of the mill developer. Nothing special about me, and that's okay. It's just a job for me, and I enjoy the work. I have no desire to be some Big N programmer. I could chase dollar signs considering what is out there for us devs, but I am not sure the juice is worth the squeeze when I am already living comfortably.
Doesn't this presume that all property is taxed at a flat rate? Wouldn't the answer be to split the property based on what the city wants to accomplish? Then empty land can be taxed at a different rate to property with a residence on it (or whatever priority the city would apply).

Check out all the different tax rates that Wellington, New Zealand applies to a property [1]. I count 50!

Ok I will bite. I randomly checked one company called "MotorK" [0] and I found this line in the job description "Work remotely from any of the countries we operate in". So thats not work from anywhere in the world. I am sure devil is always in the details. I know this is 1 example but I doubt a company will hire from anywhere in the world and pay the same salaries to you. There always will be restrictions.

Ok now I am more curious. I looked at another company "Expensify" [1]. They actually want you to ideally relocate to one of their office locations :). So again, not fully remote anywhere in the world. I think employers say it casually but in practice, it is extremely difficult.

Why would I pay the same salary to a good developer in NYC vs India/Thailand. If that's the case, why would I hire from a totally different timezone and not to mention add legal, HR and compliance issues.

A. People aren't dogs. We are of a much higher level intelligence and self awareness. That's why psychological studies of rats, or even apes, as human analogs is ludicrous.

B. The happiest people on the planet are extremely ethical, have a good moral compass and have a will to help others. They have goals and attain them. And they especially don't blame their environment for their shortcomings. They find ways to adjust their environment to themselves and not the other way around.

Someone who is content with a simple life is still following that maxim. Their goal is to live each day in relative comfort according to their own standards.
SomethingAwful still keeps running along although site activity is probably nowhere near its peak. But that may be better off given the remaining users tend to offer higher signal to noise ratio in post content and the members have mostly matured into not being as horrible people for the most part.
Is this a stealth add for Amazon that not even they, when handed a warrant, can decrypt your Wickr data without Big Brother forcing a biometric unlock on you (or cutting you a plea deal to unlock the app so you can rat out the rest of your militia/gang/activists)?
If you disincentivise individual ownership of expensive land and buildings, building dense housing becomes more profitable. Also, you can pay for social programs with the tax revenue.
I don't think it's a rules update thing. It's more like review didn't uncover this behavior. (In the past Uber had gone all the way to use geofencing to evade reviewers and regulators.) Maybe this could've been only uncovered through long-term testing by reviewers who actively use the app day to day. Maybe they need such a process that does that.

> Sounds like a success story, imagine the alternative scenario where there was no review process and Uber could get away with this entirely.

It'd say 60-40. The 40% downside is that Apple deigned to go through with actually pulling Uber from the store, even just for a few days. Do you think they'd do anything even remotely similar over the notifications permission leak you cited?

> How does having more granular alerts actually solve this issue?

More restrictive and more transparent handling of permissions. Maybe this mechanism was caused by Uber bundling some sort of library that led to permissions leak. Perhaps the OS could expose that permission being triggered.
That is analogistically opposite to my experience as an iOS device user. When are my friends being blocked? Who are these dodgy salespeople you speak of?

I use an iPhone because I value the managed experience, somewhat more like an appliance than a computer. I already have enough computers in my life. I don’t want more of them.

I’ve literally never had any issue transacting with businesses through my phone. I can download the food delivery app and get dinner. I can download the transit app and get to where I’m going. What are these scams you speak of? Who are the dodgy people that Apple would allow through my hypothetical door?
Ok, let me quote exactly what I just said:

"We're talking about if they were ever claimed to be 100% effective....if you overpromise at the beginning, you lose your credibility, and then you get cheap shots."
Because we are a union of states. States should have more power, not less. Each state has very different problems, and local politicians care far more about local people than DC politicians. It's more interesting anyway, the more freedom states have to do what they want.
I think of wall street, google and others hiring the brightest minds to assure their revenues...

Meanwhile, if a small fraction of those minds worked on a more efficient toilet, or desalinating water the ROI for society would be significantly higher.

But I guess market forces are at work. and they make it possible for people to be paid for growing food or building infrastructure in accordance with demand.
> but I worry that we end up in the situation where if you need to use a particular app, you can only get it from a third-party store that you don't trust

I often hear this argument but Android has had third-party app-stores and 'side-loadable apps' since day one and I can't think of a single major app that needs its own app-store.
You need to do the math on a deduction v credit.

If you are spending .30 and deducting .58, you need to multiply the .58 by your tax rate.

You can’t simply say .58 - .30 is .28 and that is a profit of .28. Deductions don’t work that way.
> Realize your crystal-clear design has in fact plenty of holes, and user will curse your name if you release now

If you're a designer working with some web folks... don't be too proud to take their feedback as well. I've lost count of how many times I was given a set of mockups that were confusing. When I raised the point of "this is confusing to me - I don't understand X"... sometimes it's taken to heart and we converse and iterate. Sometimes it's not, and I'm pushed to "just do it like this", which almost always leads to ... a big delay in getting the exact same "this is confusing" feedback from people weeks or months later.

To be fair, this hasn't happened to me as much in the last... 3-5 years. And there are times I really do not know the domain very well. What's confusing to me is 'industry standard' (labels/names/workflow/etc) - sometimes there's even regulatory reasons for doing things a certain way. I learn from that.

The other side of that is... I've worked on systems for 6-12-18+ months, and know how the system is currently providing value. "Designer X" coming in and making radical changes without any ability to give them feedback - at any stage of the game - is just really bad.

If someone has more experience in X, and tells you "this is confusing/wrong", they might just be correct, and everyone can save a lot of time by addressing the confusion earlier rather than later.

> Even if they called it a calender, they wanted a task list.

I've hit this exact one a few times, from both angles. Wanting a task list, but calling it 'calendar', and wanting a calendar view, but using "schedule". Takes some digging and sometimes side by side comparisons of 2 or 3 different visualizations, but eventually we get there :)
The alarm bell and lights were set off. When the police recovered the bike, they found that the thief had duct taped over the lights and speakers.

Interestingly, both incidents happened in busy areas in the SF Bay Area. I guess that the bystander effect was strong.
The person you're replying to isn't arguing against land value taxes in the abstract, they're arguing against an implementation of LVTs that would force most homeowners to decide between overpaying taxes by a wide margin or suddenly losing their home.
So much for hodling.
It hinges entirely on who the military and police decide to listen to. Hanging Pence wasn't the only, or first, option that day—getting him to maybe, kinda, technically, if you tilt your head and squint legally overturn the election was one attempted strategy. That's far more dangerous, and there sure seem to be chess pieces lining up to take similar sorta-maybe-technically-legal shots at the principles of democracy in the next election or two.

How the military and cops will react to orders coming from someone who plainly stole an election according to every norm we have about how our government is supposed to work, and who sure looks like they're sending us toward single-party dictatorship on fast-forward, but maybe is kinda, sorta, technically doing all this legally, or at least has sown enough confusion that you're not sure whether they're legitimate or not, is anyone's guess.

> I have been living and working at a FAANG in UK for past 2+ years now. I came on the now Global Talent visa, so in next 2 years I can become a UK citizen.

No, you need at 5 years for ILR and then another year for citizenship so it works out to 3+ years at a minimum (in reality longer because of application and waiting times).

> I hold an Indian passport.

> My primary market targets will be UK, US and Europe,

Having British citizenship is better in your case but from a quick search India doesn't allow dual citizenship - are you okay with giving up your Indian citizenship?
StereoKit and MRTK are currently part of the same team, so these people are my co-workers! :) We swap techniques, code, share design docs, etc. StereoKit joined the MR Middleware team towards the start of this year, and over time you'll likely see StereoKit move much closer to the Microsoft MRDL (Mixed Reality Design Language) and pick up similar features.
FWIW I've used mine to duplicate both of our car key fobs (middle 2000's Mazda and middle-2010's Jeep) so it'll probably be very dependent on make/model/age as to whether it uses rolling codes.
It's aggravating and kept me away from it for a while too. Try out small isolated parts of it like nix-shell and the flakes version of it nix develop. You can play with that stuff without having to dive in and commit moving all your existing home and other environments to it. Basically just get a little sandbox going to experiment with until you're more confident in doing more with it (or you might find you don't need it and didn't waste much effort/time).
Some jobs, would you clean latrines if that was somehow the only job we couldn't figure out how to automate,
> Also, you can be sure that the driver doesn't live in poverty [1] or works ridiculous hours.

You absolutely can't. Taxi drivers are independent contractors in most european countries too, with no minimum wage protections or enforcement of hours worked.
Not entirely surprising. Minecraft gets to maintain full control and custody, including extracting rent from any marketplace and assets selling on its platform, and at the same time look like the hero to the game community that so fervently hates NFTs.

I think if you can prove that you tried to cancel and the merchant screwed up you should be fine. Hopefully you have a paper trail of them admitting its a “bug in Billings”.

Aside: One of the best things about AMEX is their customer support around chargebacks and I agree I hope they stay super friendly to this.
> A recent study by SIFT found that nearly one in five consumers who have filed a chargeback dispute have committed first party fraud by submitting false claims in order to get their money back on legitimate purchases. In fact, according to the NRF, the losses from friendly fraud totals over $25 billion a year.

Yes, this is a problem and so many merchants are getting their accounts and funds locked up by being unable to fight these friendly fraud disputes that have been taken advantage of by the consumer.

This sort of fraud hurts both the consumer and mostly the merchant as the bank which doesn't know any of the context of the payment takes 3 seconds to see the dispute and 98% of the time, the merchant loses and the bank forcibly takes the money away and gives it back to the customer, especially for digital subscriptions. Instead the consumer should contact the merchant directly to resolve the dispute.

At least VISA knows it is a problem. What is Mastercard doing about this?
I was there too and I remember a distinct malaise about pointless tech companies that would make up for per customer losses with scale. There were a lot of companies whose only product was eyeballs for advertisers. (Ok, that part is the same.)
It’s not 100% foolproof but just a rough guide because demolition and waste disposal costs are non-zero. For someone else to use the land my house sits on someone would need to deal with the asbestos likely in various walls. Additionally, things get tricky if the land is found to have historical / archeological relevance which can stop development indefinitely. Commercial developers carry an insurance policy for this I believe.
We need to be smarter about co2.

We don't price in the real cost of Bitcoin.

Every co2 we put out there without it doing specific work before like smelting or transporting critical goods is co2 we need to remove which we wouldn't otherwise.

It sure is better for Tesla to make cars out of it, calling this whole story a net benefit is just Missleasing.
The problem is once you start making complex rules people will start finding loopholes and ways to work around it.

Like you pointed out vacancy taxes are very difficult to actually enforce.

If taxes are based on how long you have owned the property maybe instead of selling the property I give you a transferable 20 year rent to own lease or create a corporation that owns the property and sell you that corporation so that the ownership never changes.

If taxes are based on how many properties you purchase in a year then maybe you create a separate corporation that purchases each property. No single entity has purchased more than one home.

I am not a lawyer and these examples probably aren't that good, but I think you get the point. The simpler the rules are the harder they are to work around.
> Europeans who know their markets better could compete if they wanted to

This is not realistic.

When amazon noticed diapers.com, they were basically forced to sell out.
because amazon was already selling diapers at a loss and was ready to drive the price "down to zero".

No body can compete with that.

I just browsed to Facebook and the top banner takes me to the Play store.

I would be VERY surprised if facebook forced users to go into the special apps access settings page and enable installing apks. That's a power user feature.
Where are you getting your data from?
There's a community port of NixOS to WSL2, complete with systemd support, plus Docker Desktop support and some other goodies: https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL

Nix also works on other WSL distros, provided they're using WSL2.

Nix supports cross-compiling Windows binaries as well. I know some people use it for that.

There is no 'native' support— you can't use Nix as an alternative to Winget or Chocolatey on Windows. Right now a lot of important stuff in Nixpkgs depends on a POSIX shell and Unix coreutils implementation for the basic build environment, and that's shared between many operating systems. Trying to fit Windows into that doesn't really make sense, and there's not really any momentum behind the idea of using any particular other runtime environment (could be a scripting language instead of a shell + coreutils) for those basic builders.

But it's conceivable that some day, one or more companies using Nix on WSL might see vaiue in taking that extra step and put together a Nix-based package collection for Windows and help get the Nix Windows port out the door. It also seems possible that a motivated Nix developer could take it somewhere on their own, since at least one has a workable PoC IIRC (but they didn't want to create/maintain a separate package collection).

For now, it works very well with WSL2 and that's the way to go for Windows users.

Show HN: I built an all-in-one virtual production platform for indies
After being frustrated with the budget and learning curve requirements of the big names in the Virtual Production field, I decided to create my own all-in-one platform designed with beginners and less-technical folk in mind.
It takes complicated tasks in other engines (tracking, compositing, floor plans, etc.) and makes them two-click solutions. And, with the free companion mobile app, you can track cameras, scan your sets, and (coming soon) do full body motion capture!

There's a ton more features that I'm super proud of, and I'm open to any and all feedback!
Thanks!
I think the methods of propagandists are enduring because it takes each generation a while to catch on. By the time they do, they're too old and uncool for the new kids to listen.
You actually are your company. Not the articles of incorporation with Delaware or wherever, or anyone particularly influential, but you are it in the same way that a piece of your spleen is you. This is what Mitt Romney got right when he said "corporations are people" (not the part he thought he got right). So if it's not changing the world for the better, it really is on you. Like the candy wrapper you let flutter away in the gentle breeze that you could have gone after but chose not to, or the car engine you left on for 20 minutes while chatting with your neighbor on their porch, you are an insignificant but definite contribution to the pollution.

It’s true that there are many better ways to do it. If a nation state only had this option, I think they could pull it off though.
Which makes it odd that HN, a forum ostensibly all about deep, intellectual discussions, has so many features that seem designed to suppress discourse at length, due to the fear of entropy leading to the Eternal September effect.
You think that we need people doing stuff they don't want to do in order for the world to function.

Ok. But how much?

For example, somebody needs to clean the sewers. But does anybody need to do that 40 hours a week?

How about 4 hours a week?

I dunno about you but I could do any horrible job if it's only 4 hours a week.

And then I could spend the rest of my time doing my fun job and/or whatever I feel like doing.

That would be pretty close to doing only what I want.

How does that work for you?
