I totally agree with you. Once you're registered and using the site I do provide the entire recipe on a single page. Then when you're ready to cook it goes into the single step by step mode. For the demo page I was trying to show off the step by step mode and didn't even think about how that would come across. I'll have a rethink of how I display the demo. Thanks!

"I also discovered, during my education and early research experience, that you do not have to know that much to do research. With a good background education, one can very quickly absorb the necessary specialized knowledge for a specific research area. I think what Caltech really taught me was to be independent, and to try to go to the essence of a problem."

In some ways a typical(and tragically sad) beginning for Latvian(and other Baltic) refugees at the end of WW2 but quite extraordinary achievements later on.

Regulatory agencies can only say "no". They can only "make things happen" by saying no to other options. That is not good enough.

We have a stagnant government and society built around "no" --- NIMBYism and all the clientelist back-scratching that goes with it. That's not good enough.

I want a state that can do things actually make them happen.
I think the problem is that desalinating water (ignoring the environmental impact of the resulting brine) will produce water that costs at a minimum many hundreds of dollars per acre-foot. This is fine for urban use, but makes many of the current agricultural uses uneconomical. Nobody will pay $5,000/acre for water so they can sell their crop for $1,000/acre. All of these discussions dance around the fact that irrigation farmers are largely turning X dollars of water into 0.25X worth of crops, and the taxpayers are making up the difference. This is true of farmers in pretty much every state that uses colorado river water - if we erased 'water rights' and allowed the water to be competitively bid on, many farmers would either leave their land fallow or switch to less water intensive crops. We're basically giving away extremely valuable water at way below market rates, we're practically guaranteed to have a 'shortage.' It doesn't make sense to add enormously expensive infrastructure just so we can turn around and keep giving the water away.
I would think the silicon valley would be innovating here, but with the exception of a few that's not the case.
It's false advertising whether nannyish or not.
>> Instead, the FTC says Opendoor’s offers were lower than a home’s market value, and the company asked sellers to pay for home repair costs that were higher than what people would typically spend on repairs in a market sale. As a result, most people who sold their homes to Opendoor typically lost thousands of dollars compared to what they would have made if they’d sold their homes on the open market.

I'm sympathetic to Opendoor on this. Are they counting ALL the costs when they say Opendoor customers "lost thousands"?

- Are they counting the carry of keeping [a potentially empty house] on the market for months? (e.g., real estate taxes, maintenance fees)

- Are they counting the 4-6% real estate real estate commission the agent would take that Opendoor customers arent paying? If I sell the house at a 20k discount to Opendoor, but save a $40k real estate commission, that sounds like a good deal.
I really don’t understand how regulation makes it better? you can simply write down codes if you want a way of recovering a gmail account. Most users don’t do this because they’re not educated and they don’t understand opsec. If a government agency had the power to recover any account, it would be abused by corrupt government officials.

Remember scale when thinking of potential solutions here! it’s not just the US that would be affected by this as well. The reality is that google does a better job at identity any than US government institution (ssn, drivers license). How many people have their identity stolen versus having their 2fa protected gmail account stolen?

As far as support, how would it be better if support gave you access to an email account if you complained enough? please consider the abuse side before you suggest a solution.

I agree that those sort of generalizations are unfair and extremely subjective, but I think there is a truth to the idea that some places in the world people care more about food and are more picky about it. If you are well off person and only go to fancier places you see it less, because you are probably always served a baseline quality.

But some parts of the world just have less access to fresh produce, less cultural diversity, etc. That doesn't seem quite so subjective. And there is good food to be found pretty much everywhere, that is not the point.
For sure it’s achievable, but how much does this actually add to the value a firm provides?

Is it more than the cost of a technical person who knows how’s to make the models?

And if you internally automate it, are the results clean enough to show to prospective clients?

And even if the above two concerns are met, is the ROI on this higher than any other prospect the company has to increase customer satisfaction?

The key features that made it fantastically rich were sitting on one of the world's most strategically located ports, building a lot of soviet style housing and a leader with nowhere to run.

Being a city state means it's hard to hide when things get ugly. Having capitals far away from citizenry, on the other hand - like in myanmar or brazil, makes it easy to be corrupt. This is a well studied phenomenon.

Lee Kuan Yew was palpably afraid in 1965 - especially of the domestic communists. That was probably a good thing in most respects - he knew he had to improve living standards or he'd be strung up. He did, partly by following the good advice of albert winsemius.

It also led to his authoritarian streak and his censor happy ways, of course. The fear ran both ways.

1950s america was also a time where elites were palpably fearful of domestic communists. It also combined with fast improving living standards and the largest scale house building to date. That might just all be a giant coincidence though.
Yes, deliberate ignorance pendulum swings too far. Of course "free" information is not very useful because someone else is paying for it, motivated by their interests not yours. So do the adult thing and don't throw up your hands and give up, instead pay just a bit for useful information. That way you know a bit more about who is funding it and why.
Really? I would think weight loss, inflammation, and psychological health measures would at least be affected on a timescale of a couple years, if not risks for things like cancer and heart disease.
Some of you may be too young to remember the context of this. In 1993, an American was sentenced to be caned for what would be considered minor offenses in America.

There was a huge media frenzy in the run-up to the punishment. Then he got caned, had a sore bottom, and life went on.
I'm skeptical that this makes business sense for most companies. Most electron apps feel like they're just checking off a box, rather than crafting any sort of quality desktop experience. If you don't care, why not just slap your website in a webview? Way easier than trying to hire or train developers in a niche technology.

The key is a benevolent "dictator(ship)". A benevolent dictator, from a most utility PoV is better than random search for good government via imperfect democracy.

There is little question that a few countries in Asia benefitted from authoritarianism, some were more kid glovish than others, and obviously some were more violent than others in suppressing dissent. However, they achieved economic success for their people --though not all. The Philippines are an example where corruption as well as high pop growth dragged down progress. China too, initially was too authoritarian and too ideological, till they opened up their economy, or at least removed much of the stigma against "wealth" and invited foreign investment.
Huge difference between $500 extra and $20,000 extra. Most working people can sacrifice and afford the 500. Most literally have no way of affording a Tesla.
Opendoor got $1.9B in funding for this business model. In ten rounds. Did none of those VCs do anything approximating due diligence? Or did they do it and just not care that it was basically an AI-washed version of a very old con? Seems like there was more than one act of malfeasance here.
You're missing the point... they did all that while promising "you’d make more money selling it to them than you would on the open market".

That's the issue.

I was in on AMD at $9. The hype was so real between Nvidia and AMD that I got cold feet and sold (for a decent profit). Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought it would be here. I'd be retired.
Cool, good luck with the project!
Yes! This is exactly my point. Having included something as fluff as "Essential Scrum" on TOP of skipping Beck's "TDD by Example" or Feathers' "Working Effectively with Legacy Code" is very regrettable.
> Are they counting the 4-6% real estate real estate commission the agent would take that Opendoor customers arent paying?

your overall point stands, but Opendoor does have a 5% "service charge" that's on par with an agent commission.
i.e when Ghz stopped being a useful metric (or sole metric) for CPU we switched to other measurements, we did not redefine what Ghz represented.

They really did try to muddy the waters back when CPU clock was the only commonplace metric of CPU speed the general consumer would know about though -- as a couple examples, there was the AMD K5 PR200 which was a 133 MHz part but supposedly (according to the AMD marketing team, at least) competitive with a Pentium 200 MHz -- or the AMD Athlon XP 1700+, which does not run at 1.7 GHz as you might think but only about 1.4.

They did stop short of outright calling it GHz, you're right, but clearly the intent was for the consumer to think that a Pentium 4 1700 MHz and an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ were comparable.
I'm not sure if this is one the parent was thinking of - but there's generally a huge culture of "don't inconvenience others." This can have a lot of knock on effects, like leaving early (really, leaving before others) from work is inconveniencing your peers and your boss.

Also, "filial duty" is pretty strong across a number of Asian cultures. i.e. you should be thinking of your family (parents, grandparents) before yourself.
Hard same. I ended up spoiling myself on the entire plot and the "big concepts" to justify to myself that it's worth it to go see the execution.

The author watched too many "Cinemasins"-like teardowns/nitpicks of books/movies where characters have a conversation about something that wouldn't happen in real life because they would both know it already (but it's exposition for the audience) and thought "Yes, I will have NONE of that."

SO instead there is absolutely zero exposition or world-building. You're just dropped into a heavy jargon filled environment that has a narrator who refuses to explain any of the terms or concepts (which are frequently VERY interesting once you go read some wikis).

It's a great way to avoid being nitpicked by pedantic nerds, but it's no way to write an enjoyable work of fiction.

per the article, they were fined 62 million for (years of?) fraud.

Their 2021 profit alone was 730 million (on 8 billion revenue).[1]

When the fine is less than 9 percent of one years profit, will they really stop doing what they're doing?

edit: a lot of people are saying the company actually lost money. But, and this is an honest question, is it really 'losing money' when the majority of that loss is "primarily driven by non-cash stock based compensation of $536 million"? Looking at previous compensation tables, it looks like the top four people in the company are earning 100+ million in stocks? Is that what's making the company be considered in the red? [2]

Thanks. Is MARPAT what the Canadian soldiers showed up to Afghanistan in?

Edit: looks like the wore the forest green stuff to Afghanistan. The only articles I can find suggests they did it on purpose, to stand out for peace keeping reasons, but that could easily be damage control. Anyone know the real story? GP suggests they just didn't have an arid design at the time (which I would believe).

I don't agree that any of my statements have had any of those implications. USA citizens have the right to complain about any expensive government program. F35 is a $1.7T program, which qualifies as expensive. It's perfectly ordinary to see administrators of non-military programs called before Congress and raked over the coals for spending that seems excessive to some legislator playing to the basest instincts of voters. We recently decided, somehow, that a few billion dollars was too much of a tax credit to justify keeping millions of American children out of poverty. [0] We never see any elected politician complaining about military spending, however.

It's a commonplace that we spend more on the military than the next ten nations put together, most of whom are our allies. That obscures the more amazing fact that over a third of the military spending in the world is spent by USA. Obviously the Pentagon budget should be halved if not quartered, as we were promised before the Saudis dropped the WTC. In such a context, there would be no room for a plane that offers the prospect of more expense instead of more capability. Northrop lobbyists and their employees at think tanks and in the media might be able to dry-lab some "rates" and "figures" to distract from the obvious state of the F35 program. The scale of the disaster cannot be hidden from unbiased investigators. Even if it never makes the evening war media news, those who care to know can consult experts like POGO.

However, if you insist on a criticism in the proper jargon, F35 will never, ever, regardless of how much is spent, be as capable at close air support as the vastly less expensive A10 "Warthog". You can ask any American serviceman who has served on the ground in the last two decades. This isn't the only important role for a military aircraft, but it is an important role.

One advantage of camo uniforms for working utility uniforms is they tend to be effective in hiding things like grime and mud, which consequently means you need to launder them less frequently to keep up the same appearance. If you've got a solid single-color uniform, chances are that these will stick out like a sore thumb. That was one thing that sailors liked about the old US Navy NWU (the one that camouflaged you very effectively if you fell in the water)--really good at hiding paint drips.

With regards to looking good, I don't think it's necessarily that the look good with appropriate materials, but more that they look good only when they are properly starched and the like to maintain crisp lines.
A lot of wrongdoing by the Russian soldiers (war crimes, including rapes), but even the US military did the same things in Irak/Afghanistan, even in Guantanamo, war bring out the worst in people, also the intensity of the conflict is very questionable and could have been avoided

But one certain thing is Putin and his government put to shame NATO, and specially Germany ('no russian gas? fine, we'll get russian coal instead'), and they managed to counter and debunk the active US/UK propaganda

Because of the former, just like with the US, they proved they are not able to bring peace, the US managed to get away with it for some reason, hopefully Russia won't and will be charged for it

This is nonsense. The kind of argument uninformed people who dislike Tesla pick up on twitter and then endlessly regurgitate over every online forum.

The revenue Tesla gets from credit is very small compared to the revenue of cars and gets smaller and less significant with every single quarter.
Not the person you're replying to, but if I ran a chip business (or a country with a lot of military/economic tech dependent on chips-- IE most countries), it would certainly be something you'd want to de-risk if you could. Sure it's not the only possible outcome. But it's a realistic outcome, and one that has a ton of downside if it happens.
The article definetly gets this bit wrong:

> Instead, the FTC says Opendoor’s offers were lower than a home’s market value, and the company asked sellers to pay for home repair costs that were higher than what people would typically spend on repairs in a market sale.

FTC Website:

> Consumers likely would have paid the same amount in repair costs whether they sold their home through Opendoor or traditional sales

Those aren't the same
You really think that Opendoor did not make sophisticated claims to the FTC before settling? Like they somehow forgot the broker commission cost?
Agreed. iBuying is a business and your paying for the convenience of them taking your home as-is. Even though their offering price is lower than what you'd receive from selling with a realtor, you still end up spending 10-15% of your home value when selling the traditional way.

Ask HN: Could React Native lower the moat enough for a third mobile OS?
Purely speculation, but I remember one of the main things that killed Windows Phone was a lack of app-developer interest in porting/maintaining apps on a third, unproven platform. Microsoft played around with making some auto-translation tools, but it never really took off.

With React Native becoming a lingua franca for mobile development, could Microsoft or someone else give it another try at some point? If the OS developers implemented their own React Native target, a bunch of app developers' apps could be compatible almost for free. The OS could even be specifically tailored to integrating well with React Native

Thoughts?
I hate a lot of Electron and React Native based software, but Discord manages to avoid performance, stability, and quality issues that most seem to encounter. I don't know what they do or how they do it, but I think it's very impressive.
