I don't really get the appeal. We don't term limit anyone in any other job, generally we believe tenure and experience corresponds with competency. Would you accept a term limit for a software engineer? Of course not. Your value to an organization, your ability to be effective, to do good work, increases the longer you stay. You're good, you stay.

Term limits feel tantamount to demanding a lawmaking body comprised entirely of amateurs - instead of professional public servants.

The problem is incentives. It should be illegal for lawmakers to receive any money or other in-kind support for their re-election campaign from anyone other than the Federal Election Commission. Everyone who gets more than a few thousand signatures gets the exact same budget.

This way, everyone has the same war-chest, and has to run on their own merits - not on raising capital - and they're measured on their ability to succeed. It also instantly nerfs the allure of lobbying.
I'm sure the alternative would go over well too. "This guy used a throwaway account to report a problem! Seems a little suspicious. What are they trying to hide?"
> You're agreeing to not sue them again for the exact same violation.

I hope exact violation means that particular unsolicited text message and not the exact violation of sending unsolicited text messages.
I wonder if another element could be improvements in resolution and quality as well, both on displays and in our fabrics/materials. Simplicity/flat design looks clean in high res screens and materials. It looks boring in low res screens and less fine materials.
Film--even a whole trilogy of films--is a different medium from books. Books are in general much more tolerant of diversions that don't move the story forward. Bombadil was pretty much a diversion.

The films also had to deal with the fact that the LoTR books had a lot of material after the ring was destroyed--and that's not even counting all the material in the appendix of RoTK. Say whatever positive things you like about LoTR but the narrative structure of RoTK in particular is a bit of a mess.

From what I recall there was a fairly long period pre Volker where there were very half hearted attempts to get inflation under control without going for the kill so to speak.

I think the Fed knowing that history will try to kill it dead first time, because if they don't they know they'll likely have to go even higher with interest rates at the second attempt and the higher they're forced to go the more danger there will be to US financing operations as you say.
This raises a question.

"Don't overestimate how dumb they are" is logical and correct. However, because "how dumb they are" is in the sentence, it emphasizes, well, that they are dumb, which is not what the OP intended to say.

Writing it as "don't underestimate how smart they are" is more readable, although logically, it's stating the same thing.

Even better, I would have written it as "don't underestimate how smart they can be."
So should all politicians receive money exclusively from lobbyists/donors? Or I guess they should go get paycheck jobs somewhere?

Where does a politicians money come from? If they exclusively received their money from stock trading as opposed to lobbyists/donors, how do you think the policy decisions would change?

A person has an inherent right to justice, this is an individual right, one is induced to delegate to an organization, jury, etc.. etc.. to ensure a transparency meant to insulate the individual against claims of trespass during their pursuit of that justice, but ultimately, it is an individual right, and if the system society encourages you to delegate that right to, fails, you still retain the right to seek justice on your own.
I also thought it was funny that a page about readability would have three different floating things on the page.

Don't know that book, but do read Non-Stop by Brian Aldiss. The Wikipedia article contains spoilers.
CS came first. At the end I had a small internet business at home that chained me to the computers. An alarm about a defective RAID just as I was starting a short vacation triggered the career change. I couldn't see myself go back into a cubicle and I always liked to drive so I decided on the spot to become a trucker. So I sold the business, took a course, pass the license and here I am 15 years later, 100 pounds lighter because I'm no longer behind a desk getting fat. I'm doing local and regional deliveries with a 53ft and have a 20km bike commute. I probably make 1/3 of what a computer job would pay but to me money is not everything. To tell the whole truth, I was simply burned out. I just came back to programming on personal projects just a couple of years ago and I love it.

As for comparing industries, I don't know, how can you compare when one has really small margins, has no technology besides tracking and logistics, is really change averse and has basically an un-educated cheap labor force and the other has hopefully good margins, a well paid skilled labor force and creates technology.

One thing for sure, a good or a bad boss is the same in both industries lol.

The STOCK act passed 96-3, so while congress might not tend to be keen on regulating themselves, it's not completely allergic.

Interestingly, one of the 3 'no' votes on the STOCK act was later engaged in some of the fishiest trading I've seen around the start of COVID. Here's a visual I made on it:

Well, in literary fandom generally, anything other than faithful transcription from page to screen often generates outrage.
Not just Europe—price controls (de jure or de facto, the latter via e.g. establishing a monopsony) are, as best I can tell, the main unifying factor in healthcare systems in the entire OECD except the US. Those systems differ a lot, but at some point and on some level, they all fall back on price controls, apparently to good effect.
As long as people recognize hierarchical governments and their claims to authority, this will always be the case.
This distinction is needlessly pedantic. While social media companies might not have initially sought to promote toxic content, they have long since known they are effectively doing so and have done very little to stop it. In practice, "content that increases the engagement rate" so frequently means toxic content that it's not a useful distinction.
Browser should behave in the best interest of the user. The best interest of the user in 99.99% of cases is not to see ads (which also come with associated tracking, invasion of privacy, using your bandwidth - all things that the user did not ask for).

What the user wants is content.

So there are two scenarios:

a) content is worth it so the user would pay to access it (for example $0.01 aka micropayments which browsers refuse to natively implement and automate; we can argue why in the light that all three mainstream browsers are directly or indirectly ad-supported and micropayments are an anti-thesis to ads)

b) content is worth it and it is not behind a paywall (this is what most high quality content on the web is actually nowadays - wikipedia, hacker news or your own blog and blogs of many other people are examples)

In the event that content is not worth it (which is sadly true for most ad/affiliate/tracking monetized content on the web today) the user should have these two options:

a) not read it (probably best for them)

b) have their browser block ads/tracking, to at least make it consumable and privacy respecting

In other words the websites wanting to monetize their content should totally be in the position where they need to make that content good enough to be worth something to someone, otherwise why would humanity care about their existence?
They are not mixed signals, the data we use for signaling is flawed for the modern area

Take for example the U-3 unemployment number that you cite, what is missing from that is Workforce Participation, we have a pretty large drop-off in Work force participation which is leading to the false belief that employment is "fine", and the quote "mix signal" of being in a recession while still having lower unemployment.

Completely absent from most of these older metrics is the "gig-economy" which is really screwing with the data IMO.

Then you have U-6 Unemployment increasing while U-3 is dropping, I think U-3 is just a few months away from reversal and will start increasing soon

>>GDP has long been criticized for being a poor metric for the economy.

yes by MMT supporters that want to ignore the classic model of economics in favor of monetary manipulation for political purposes
Agreed! This is why I love retool - it's like all those great things that OP mentioned but re-geared for a web-first world.

Having said that, the commercial model of Retool doesn't work for my use-case so I use Appsmith now which is also incredible!
The article also makes it pretty clear that it would be illegal (in the US) for Google to offer a version that is legal in the EU, barring some major technological and algorithmic breakthrough, or changes to the law.
I can't because I work at a research institution which _researches_ the use of open source software I'm government etc. It would be a little ironic, actually that's the whole reason why they want to move from slack.
> I use Traefik for reverse proxy so that each docker-compose configures the proxy for the application

I've used traefik v1 and v2 and I did not like it. This is of course a personal opinion and I know it has its strengths. The fact that the config is though labels in docker-compose was putting me off, as well as some other things.
But I know it is good and used a lot.

Caddy is a web server that works great and has a well-thought configuration (especially v2). It is not dynamic by default (but there are some images that bring is dynamism à la traefik, and a REST API)

> Each app should run it's own self-contained everything. App, DB, Redis, you name it.

It depends on the setup. In my home environment, running several backends such as MariaDB, PostgreSQL etc. is too much. Yes, it is the right approach (including the fact that you do not have dependencies) but the mileage varies.

> Democracy has never been in better health

By which metric?

Governments around the planet are increasingly becoming more autocratic.

This 'engagement' that you speak of is not just taking an interest. It's actually radical polarization and is not healthy. There's a difference between subscribing to a particular viewpoint versus outright rage against the other 'camp'. It fractures countries and allows for populist opportunists to fester.
....They get a salary?

It's not huge, by rich-people standards (which is a legitimate concern, as it does lead to very rich people being more able to take politician jobs than regular people), but, what, you thought they relied on graft to buy their dinners??
Because for better or worse, while some other countries have purely formulaic recession criteria, the US doesn't. This can swing either way - the US never experienced two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth during the 2001 recession, for example. No one is denying that real GDP has shrunk for two consecutive quarters, they're just correctly pointing out that that's not how the US government defines a recession.

My impression is that layoffs have been mostly isolated to tech at this point. I do know a couple of recruiters (outside of tech) who've been laid off lately, so that could be the canary. But my impression is that all of the quantitative labor market indicators we have are still strong - likely stronger than we've ever seen in a recession.
Virtually all debate is "bad faith." You've ever seen the Presidential debates? Shapiro doesn't do anything differently than any liberal pundit. The only difference is that he's really good at it, and liberals disagree with him.

Is that polish, or is it just the moving target of low-end machines catching up to the system requirements? I recently tried Ubuntu 22.04 on a computer with minimal graphics hardware and experienced extreme graphics lag until I switched to XFCE. I haven't tried other DEs on that machine so the story may be the same, but I still wouldn't use Gnome on any but my newest machines.
Topic drift, but remember that the business model for streaming series is different from traditional television. Netflix makes them to get you to buy a subscription. There's little new audience coming on board after two or three seasons of a show; the better proposition is to start up a new series instead. It's not like the traditional broadcast networks where every installment generates more advertising views as long as they can keep making it. This is also why streaming "seasons" are ten episodes or even less, compared to twenty-plus for traditional TV. Their motivation is minimum cost to get a subscription, not maximum supply to engage you.

FB did do a lot IMO. They got into IM, into VR and really brought it to the mainstream. Other parties did too but FB really put in the investment to put it on the map.

I don't like FB as a company because of their privacy attitude. But I don't think they did anything wrong business-wise. Just morally.
Seems like these gig sites have a lot of jobs of a very dubious nature. A bit depressing to see.
Funny. That's not how life works for most people.

Most people earn what they can, and live off it as best they can. If that means single bedroom apartment with 10 family members eating beans and rice, then that is what it is.

People on HN tend to be out of touch with how lower income people actually live.
>So should all politicians receive money exclusively from lobbyists/donors? Or I guess they should go get paycheck jobs somewhere?

Am I mistaken? I thought most political position are paid positions. Currently north of $150,000 USD for members of congress, I think?

This is stated most explicitly in the China-WHO joint report (page 42):
https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/who-con...

"In the first days of the epidemic in Wuhan, cases were identified on the basis of clinical features, including fever and acute respiratory symptoms, radiology and epidemiological features. An association with the Huanan market was identified among some of the earliest recognized cases and, for a short period until mid-January 2020, exposure to the Huanan market was included in the case definition. It rapidly became clear, however, that there were cases without a link to the Huanan market, and this element of the definition was dropped a few days after being introduced (Annex E3)."
I was mainly irritated that the ents had knees.

That the whole Sauron business was a local and temporary nuisance seems central to the roles of Tom B and the ents. The ents' complaint was, in the end, only with Saruman.

Yeah, my guess is they would say “oh, we can just do an ACH debit and save you the trouble. What's your account number?”
Doesn't address the first-past-the-post issue, nor that third parties are sometimes promoted by one of the major parties as a spoiler (questionable effectiveness).

Things are just a lot more complex than the article wants to deal with. Do you focus long term and try to promote third parties despite their success being quite rare? Do you focus on the immediate issues that divide the main parties and therefore ignore third parties?

I don't like saying a third party vote is 'wasted', but it certainly results in little direct influence of the political process.
Honestly, I don't want to be one of elites. I believe in different values than being rich or powerful. If that is your goal in life, then sure, democracy could look like theater.
> It also happens that those automakers are American automakers, like Tesla and GM, while many foreign automakers still have access to the credit.

While the Bill language goes into further specifics; this strikes me as interesting callout as many German (BMW, Volkswagen), Japanese (Honda, Toyota), and Korean (Kia, Hyundai) car brands in America have a larger US manufacturing base than GeneralMotors.
I expected that, but it's highly likely that Neanderthals and/or Habilis would also qualify as sentient (old definition), whereas it would be confusing to say that they are both "sapient".

It might be that more recent cars retain their range better after 10 years, but then they may also retain their price.
Politicians don’t receive money directly from lobbyists and donors. Doing so would be a violation of rules against taking bribes.

Lobbyists and donors give money to campaigns, which require untold sums of money these days, and a congresspersons power within the party is directly correlated to their ability to fundraise for the party.

As to their actual personal means of a congresspersons wealth, they’re paid fairly high salaries (close to 200k per year, which, despite the expectations of this forum is quite a bit for the US) and yes, they have the ability to engage in their own investments and business dealings on the side. Not to mention their incredibly generous pensions.
See, that's the best part. It's what makes people "fall into" Middle Earth. That there was whole parts of the backstory that don't get explained. That there are periods of history you get a glimpse into to believe there is a huge depth to it. That the way we see the continent now is not how it always was. Who were the barrow wights? Why were they cursed?

As a kid first reading it, I feared the barrow wights as much if not more than the Nazgul.

The whole aside was to show that the hobbits had truly "left the Shire" and that perils lay along the road in any direction they might turn. But, again, there were allies or, at least, guides all along that road as well.

Bombadil and Old Man Willow are a foreshadowing of the Ents to come.

Yeah I agree with you that peace is not always possible, but there could be steps towards finding peace, the problem is that I find Zelensky too much idealistic in his view of integrity of Ukraine, and a bit not practical, while his people are dying on the battlefield, so he has to compromise I think, and the guilt that I find in US is that they keep giving all the weapons, without any restrain to force him to compromise, he is a head of a country that wants to join NATO (its in his constitution) and Russia is a power that has beef with NATO, the Russians would feel unsafe to border with a enemy entity, would you imagine if Russia would put its influence in Mexico or Cuba? What would the US do?

So I think the only way to let Zelensky think about making compromise, is to shrink gradually the amount of weapons supplied, because this war can't go on forever on european soil, and we need to get an end to it. The issue is: US doesn't any any interest touched by keeping this war, so the EU and US interests are not matched, and that's why I wouldn't consider them allies right now.

While peace is not always possible, if we balance the amount of support, to compromises, then we can get there, and I think Biden is sucking at making compromises at the moment
A long time ago, I was at their offices and I asked them about this. If this is a limiter for you, I'm sure you could get a customized pricing plan from them if you reach out.
