> You won't convince someone to build a new apartment building if they can't make money.

This is orthogonal to the investment value of the apartment building as an asset. Surely you generally build rental properties to make a profit via rent, not to make a profit on the land & building - thought you'll factor that into your models.
For comparisons to other productivity software systems, it's actually comparable to Evernote at $7.99 USD/month, with similar functionality (except the drag-and-drop from tasks to a schedule).

In contrast, Todoist is around $4 USD/month, which matches Notion's Personal Pro plan.

Lol what? They are literally a buyer and then a seller for a house. So yes they are competing with other buyers and sellers.
Outreach | Seattle, WA (preferred) or Remote (US) | Full Time | https://www.outreach.io

>> You really think that Opendoor did not make sophisticated claims to the FTC before settling? Like they somehow forgot the broker commission cost?

The letter, which I quoted on my comment, was pretty clear on the trade-offs or iBuy vs traditional. You're trading dollars for upfront pricing, immediacy, and certainty. The letters doesn't mention anything about that. The letter acts as if "price" is the only cost, but in real life there are many costs include hidden costs like carry.

I'm also saying that the US regulatory apparatus right now is very strange and openly antagonistic to tech firms while turning a blind eye to traditional businesses are often may be far more extractive.

Example 1: We're told WhatsApp is "bad" because supposedly competition. Except as a consumer, it costs me nothing, has no 2-yr plans, no mystery fees, no $90/mo bill. On the other hand, the same regulators wont say anything to a mobile phone company.

Thanks, I hope so, I really don't want to go back :(

I'm taking 150mg (currently Waklert, but they're all generics) a day, right after getting up.
Meanwhile here I am on Chrome using a Python script which kills all Chrome instances so that it presents me the "restore tabs" option upon startup when I decide that I want to continue the last session the next day. I do this because my default settings are to load some predefined pages which I use very often.

This is on Windows, which I power off every night. When I send it to sleep for a couple of days in a row (in order to "persist" my Chrome windows and tabs) it suddenly stops working. The entire machine stops working. Well, I can still use it, but I can't start new processes (I do have 32 GB of RAM and a lot of it is not used then).

Only a matter of months until I switch to some Apple product, I'm so done with Windows.
I'll add to the chorus of "only?"

I have abut 300 right now across three Macs, an iPad, and an iPhone, plus Safari Tab Groups (i.e. tab groups shared between machines) with 11 groups of (on average) about 15 tabs per group.

Before Safari Tab Groups, I had some Bash & AppleScripts setup to give me menu access to all tabs via SwiftBar and some Syncthing syncing of tabs metadata.

I also actively bookmark (in fact, one of my 11 tab groups is "To Pinboard" which allows me a space to thoughtfully write up certain links for my link blog[1]) and I aggressively close tabs.

But I'm in a lot of projects, some stalled, some periodic, some active, some tiny, some technical, some more blue sky-y.

I'm always reading the book that is the internet - tabs are all pages.

I don't really get overwhelmed by it since everything has a place and I don't have to dedicate mental energy to it, knowing my system works.

> OSX lets me remap caps lock to control without digging in the registry or playing "find where they moved Xorg.conf." It's just an option in the preferences.

In Linux you just have to add 'include "capslock(escape)"' in xkb symbols file and it works on any Linux distro. I just set it up in my dotfile installer in 2013 and never had to fiddle with the interface since.

I never have to wonder "where did they moved the option in the interface this time?". It's just a script I have to run when I set up a new distro install.
I think Michael Pollan might be actively engaged in suggesting some options there...
Not only that, but there are so many ways to get newer versions of software on Debian Stable when required: backports, Nix, pkgsrc, Docker containers, Appimages, flatpak, snaps...

Debian Stable tends to hand pick the latest LTS version of packages everywhere applicable, so it's actually a good base to standardize on. Packages might be a bit older but they are reliable, predictable, and kept secure by a constant roll of security updates.

In other words, if it doesn't work on the latest Stable, you're probably moving too fast for a good part of the industry. Lots of customer and production stacks are not in the "move fast, release early, release often, and link the crap to the very latest bleeding edge dependency" bandwagon.

FYI Lee Robinson/Vercel just did a nice video demo of Docusaurus.

https://twitter.com/leeerob/status/1554211061284364290

1 minute: it's what it takes to init a new Docusaurus site and publish it to a prod url with https.

2 minutes: you are already submitting your first doc PR, review it and merge it to deploy to production.

For me, this is simple. I understand this might look complex to you if you come from a different background, but nowadays, frontend devs are used to such workflows.
So, if you don't know the reality, why pretend or even give a shadow of a doubt of good faith? You've lost me man. They can do more to be transparent, but they don't. This is not a technological blocker, its a deliberate decision. Don't act like they can't show the reality of moderation, they simply choose not to. We already established in this scenario they chose to do nothing after manual review by a human. What more evidence of failure do you need. It's not working, period.

Framework Computer Inc | Senior Full Stack Engineer, Marketplace | REMOTE (US, Canada, Netherlands, Taiwan) | Full-time | https://jobs.lever.co/framework/1d6559b2-ccf9-4391-bded-6303...
(Note that this position doesn’t involve hardware/firmware development - just looking for an awesome full stack engineer with some Rails experience! Saying that upfront as the name of the company sometimes scares away web developers.)

At Framework, we believe the time has come for products that are designed to last. Founded in San Francisco in 2019, our mission is to remake Consumer Electronics to respect people and the planet.

Our first product is the Framework Laptop, a thin, light, high-performance notebook that can be upgraded, customized, and repaired in ways that no other notebook can. Alongside this, we've launched the Framework Marketplace to enable an ecosystem of parts and modules.

We are looking for another full-stack engineer to join our Marketplace engineering team building our eCommerce platform with Ruby on Rails and Solidus/Spree Commerce. This position will report to our Head of Marketplace and will work closely with our development partner based in Europe and our quickly growing internal marketplace development team based in the US for the design, implementation, testing, deployment and maintenance of all marketplace features. Like Basecamp, our frontend is 100% server-rendered HTML over the wire. No JSON APIs, no GraphQL, no React - just form submissions and links.

We look forward to seeing your application!
Cost aside I’m curious for examples where someone actually switched to serverless and it didn’t work (not a hypothetical).

With things like Cloud Run and long running functions it seems most of the initial drawbacks have been solved.

Money seems to be the main constraint these days from my research.
Not their morale; their behavior.
It’s not an assumption, but a conclusion based on the evidence. I’m not aware of any Asian, African, or middle eastern country where freedom and democracy led to prosperity. There’s lots of democracies in these places that haven’t been able to translate that into prosperity. On the flip side, China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore are all examples where authoritarian rule has led to prosperity. I’d include Bangladesh these days as an example of that also.

If the country you’re using as an example is in Eastern Europe, I think you may be overlooking key differences. Fareed Zakaria addresses this in his book “the Future of Freedom.” https://www.amazon.com/Future-Freedom-Illiberal-Democracy-Re.... He explains that many of the foundations of liberal democracy were put in place during autocratic regimes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Future_of_Freedom. Eastern Europe had many building blocks of democracy in place hundreds of years ago. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossacks.
I'm equally curious about the board and the C-level staff.

I'm like you, I try to keep my number of "tabs" small.

And call me insane, but I managed to visually remove the tabs from the web browser I use (Falkon) and I just switch between them with Ctrl+<0-9>, Ctrl+PageUp or Ctrl+PageDown. I have a silly idea for a tabless browser interface (managing and visualizing all of them via the "magic" URL bar) but as I am no developer can't do much.
There's an old exposure rule that is probably next to useless now, but worked pretty well for film cameras when you didn't have a light meter: exposure of a subject in sunny bright conditions is an aperture of f/16 and shutter speed set to the film's ISO. So a starting place for a bright, sunny day when using Kodachrome 64 film would be f/16 at 1/60th of a second (or an equivalent aperture/shutter speed combination). From there an experienced photographer could estimate exposure for other lighting conditions. Of course, negative film (either color or black and white) is more forgiving of exposure errors than slide film. These days if your exposure meter isn't working, it means your whole camera isn't working...
Sounds like a strong argument for delaying hiring exces till your larger. Unless they have contacts you need to tap.
Eh, I'd say the differences go deeper than that. Secure Enclave doesn't appear to have any special access to other resources on the system (like memory), it's initialized by the operating system, not by pre-boot firmware, and the rest of the system works perfectly fine if you leave the SEP uninitialized.
Yeah we’ve already entered marketing land when it comes to this years ago.
I don't really understand this. Work is usually prioritized. If it has low stakes for delivery into production then it should have a lower priority than other activities, but that doesn't make it a side project.
> With thermal imaging, do snipers still rely on camouflage?

Does everyone on a battlefield have thermal imaging? Even if there's a technology X that can defeat Y, if X can't be deployed widely, then X can still be useful.
Four kinds of people. My desk is always a mess, but I close my tabs every day.
I ran a test and the feedback score was 1 after answering all the questions. Not sure how to change that.
Also in the future I guess you will have to work with the person right? have some sort of connection? as right now I left a comment on a random friend.

Also does it have to be an extension of chrome?

I like the idea and the site is pretty intuitive. Good job!
Agree. I have a handful of pinned tabs. My email, messages, and, depending on the machine, a few tabs of research for either my current work task or game I'm playing or project I'm working on. At the end of each day I close all non-pinned tabs. Stuff that I access regularly but not constantly gets bookmarked into some folders.
> They aren’t competing with buyers or sellers

They literally are, by acting as both a buyer and a seller.

Their publicly claimed business model was that that is incidental, and that they are really a fee-based facilitator, but... that also apparently was knowing fraud, so, maybe it shouldn't be given much weight.
Thanks for the comment anyway!
Rabois is a founder and on the board of an unethical, scammy company? Surely you jest! He seems like such a great guy!
Are you all replying to something the parent said or something? I am not talking about something so simple as the term "open source". In my eyes open source is free software just in a shinier package. (We do seem to be largely in agreement you and I by the way)
> with someone saying essentially that the lab leak theory must be true, because China is denying it so hard.

The Chinese media often denies rumors that turn out to be true, for example, a week before Beijing instituted a car plate lottery, the local media was busy denying that it was going to happen (since everyone was rushing out to buy cars). If they took the time to deny something, then there has to be something to it right?

But this is more like given a conspiracy theory some life by vigorously denying it. If China were more western media savvy, they would just ignore the claim as too crazy to comment on. IF the USA did similar vigorous denials (since it has been suggested that the CIA engineered the virus in the lab in the USA) did the same, I'm sure people would be talking about that also.
We never started because we realized how silly it was. A clustering solution is a great thesis, but nobody has "done it right" yet. K8s was over-designed from the get-go and missed what actually causes issues in scaling.

We feel the same about Docker. People have no idea what's running when they download a docker image. Stuff can be buried deep deep within an operating system image. Security should be simple, transparent, and minimal so it can be reviewed easily. Reviewing a docker image is impossible. I'm convinced the correct place for isolation is systemd. This guy wrote a great starter for hardening the crap out of your services: https://docs.arbitrary.ch/security/systemd.html Systemd offers a bridge too with nspawn if you're not ready to undertake ultra minimal hardening of services.

Scaling is a "sexy" problem to have though, and software "engineers" love to think that their SAAS product with 100 users is going to take Google scale workloads; thusly what could be done in a LAMP stack on a single DO server, is inflated into a fantasy that will never come to fruition.
Pulley | Real Estate & Construction | full-time | remote or in-person (SF) | withpulley.com

Pulley helps real estate developers break ground sooner and build more housing by securing construction permits 10x faster. Today, permitting takes months, is different across 19k+ jurisdictions, and involves dozens of forms and thousands of rules. We’re building the first software platform for developers & builders to get permits for any project type, in any jurisdiction, faster.

We’re hiring for founding engineers & founding designers. We work in React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Nextjs.

We’ve raised $4.4M from Susa Ventures, BoxGroup, Fifth Wall, Nat Friedman, Ryan Petersen, & Zach Weinberg and we've been profiled in Techcrunch. Our founding team hails from Amazon, Google, Procore & AngelList. We’re working with top developers in Texas and growing revenue quickly.

Both roles are great for folks that are hungry for broader scope & faster pace, enjoy the ambiguity and challenge of building 0-1, and want to help define core products & teams.

If interested, reach out to founders[at]withpulley.com or see my email in my profile.
Thanks :) that's more fair, but I admit it's still too much, and we are definitively looking forward to improve the amount of JS needed in the future!

Some new features in React 18 (and upcoming releases) like Server Components are going to have a great impact on Docusaurus

Repression is a set of vicious laws that strictly punish people who step out of line, not a vibe. It's alright to enjoy a repressive culture, but odds are it because the laws are directed at people who are not you, to keep them from bothering you. That's why a good sign of repression is presidents-for-life and political dynasties.

You didn't need the laws unless you had a population who wanted to do the things.
Adeptmind | Senior Software Engineer | Remote worldwide (partial US business hours overlap) | https://adeptmind.ai
We're an AI Search company with a proven track record to close and deliver on enterprise deals. We have a great engineering culture. Our founders have had a successful 9-figure exit on their last rodeo.

I've co-founded startups in the past and led teams in large enterprises including AWS. I jumped back into a no politics environment at this startup as I see how I can help 100x its size.

I'm seeking a self-starting senior engineer to help me in building a new product offering. We're already getting early traction in the market.

Our tech stack includes Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Next.js, ElasticSearch, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka and more.

Here's the JD. Contact me at: seb _at_ adeptmind _dot_ ai.

I think this is a brilliant remark, although it likely will be taken the wrong way.

I've personally come to the conclusion that us humans aren't designed to take on the misery of the entire human population, and that we should stop projecting this assumption.

If there's no difference between caring and not caring, we should be quite a lot more humble in virtue signaling, or best just shut up.
I'm curious about the results, but remember that this article is talking about the type declarations files that tsc has to read (.d.ts files), not the JS that winds up in your bundle.
Wow - TIL. I really hadn't ever seen that, but RBC clearly lists a 25 year fixed. I struggle to imagine someone so risk adverse they'd lock in at 9.75% vs a 6% 10-year, but it is definitely there. I signed a 10-year early on in my career, and have run variable ever since.
Chrome crashing and losing all the tabs was the only way to keep them under control, now with bugs fixed and a session manager extension, I can always get them back.

Just in case people don't realise: HN has a built-in anti-procrastination feature. You can set it in your profile. I have mine setup so that I can spend 10 minutes on HN every 2 hours.
I have about 500 between the two computers in my room atm. Probably 50 on my work laptop.

My tab count only resets whenever my browser crashes irrecoverably.

I started doing it back in the Opera days (presto engine). It could sustain hundreds of tabs consistently at a time everything swapped on spinning rust.

I treat tabs as "urgent" bookmarks : stuff I want to read later, but in a more palpable time frame.
After a certain number N, which is < 20-30, the number of open tabs are inversely proportional to your productivity.
I'm hopeful that Opendoor can make home buying/selling as quick and easy as Carvana has made buying and selling cars.

I think key to that is to ensure they minimize the amount of time they hold any property. Don't try to make money on the long term movements of the market. Just buy the house at a slight discount by saving on realtor and closing cost fees and do the same on the buy side - turn it around fast, low profit margin, but at national scale.

That could be a recipe for success, but yea they need to be honest that there's no guarantee their offer is better than the open market because you never know. It's up to the seller to make that judgement call. I have many friends who were able to sell quick with Opendoor, full well knowing they were potentially losing some money in exchange for convenience. That's ok if we're all honest about it.
Many good points, but I'd like to nitpick a bit:

> Singapore has way better clubs than SF or LA. If you want to party hard until late at night it's got plenty of options. Vs SF/LA where there's a 2am curfew your options effectively end at 1:30am.

> Try getting food in LA/SF after 11. Your options becoming Dennys and that's about it.

In LA, go to K-Town (Korea Town). Many good restaurants, lounges, and karaoke places stay open all night long. The party doesn't stop at 2AM.
Well, core is clearly the place to start, otherwise anything above it in the lib hierarchy would be on non-verified ground anyway. I think it would then be worthwhile to at least start on the alloc crate. A lot of the datastructures use quite a few unsafe concepts for optimisation and getting around the borrow-checker without having to resort to runtime checking. Formally verifying Vec, Hashmap and friends would obviously pay huge dividends across the entire rust ecosystem in terms of overall safety, and should be perfectly surmountable(at least modulo the behaviour of OS memory management). And there's no reason you couldn't do it module by module.
