Finally! A potential solution to the housing crisis. Newly VC-infused and rehabilitated Adam Neumann. Yes yes yes. The world needs more of this.

This is also a good hedge against the crypto pyramid starting to slow down. Leveraging peoples' willingness to try to get rich quick to create a pyramid was profitable, but once people lost their money and crypto lost its luster, they wandered off and were no longer easy victims^Wcustomers... but imagine if VCs could also control your housing. Wandering off is so much harder! Built-in market protection.

Brilliant.

This is particularly irksome on the Macbook when playing Minecraft because you can't just CMD-Tab back in (because Mojang's UI competence is on par with their optimisation competence) - you have to click out of the not-visible Minecraft and then click on it in the dock. (CMD-Tab only works when it's not fullscreen.)
Appreciate the reply, Tailscaler.

That makes sense and seems like a legitimate line to draw. Being a little bit of a pain, I would point out that the Google Play store and Google's components for Android are not open source. If you're willing to make Tailscale available via Google Play, and open source the client, maybe iOS can as well? And while we're at it, macOS apps can be installed out of band of an app store, so maybe that can be open, too. It could even share a codebase these days.
I'm not a fan of Mensa (I have issues with the general ethos of the organization), but this article smells a bit like a hit piece.

Rural Vermont. The story is worthy of a screenplay.

Small town starts to tax a family for the commercial water line in a general store that closed in the 60's, that happens to be on the property, because, small town. Family has visions of a B&B, vineyard, wedding venue. Everything down the drain in the end, because lawyers are expensive.

Still there to this day: worn out stencil on the window of the 'general store'. "Sorry, we closed in 1968".
Agreed. Plus you can upgrade the PC over the years, but not the console.
The presence of small amounts of lead in a niche motor fuel product in a country that doesn't have a corn industry to speak of in ethanol subsidy program is irrelevant to the point of dishonest when the subject at hand is US corn subsidies.

The only leaded fuel you can buy in the US is aviation fuel. You can't buy it at a gas station and the only reason it still exists with lead in it is because that is necessary for compliance with government rules that regulate what fuel can be sold for that specific purpose.
> Better paid, much less stress.

I wish, honestly. A lot of business/safety critical software is written by developers around the world that are paid less than the average web developer.

All the way up to extreme cases like https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-28/boeing-s-...

Admittedly, that's an extreme case, not the average, but you get my point.

Compared to most industrial automation, flashy and colorful stuff is overrated and overpaid.

> revolutionized the second largest asset class in the world — commercial real estate — by bringing community and brand to an industry in which neither existed before

This sounds very disingenuous. Starbucks was arguably the first 'community brand' where people would associate one with an informal meeting place rather than to drink a coffee. Even in Silicon Valley, there are cafe chains renowned for this meeting vibe.

And then there are country clubs, which are newer and more bourgeois.

Even the neighborhood newspaper kiosk in historical European cities did a better job of bringing community and brand to real estate than WeWork.

E4 Bc4 Qf3 Qf7#

There is no check there until checkmate is delivered.

If the enemy is then allowed to play 4 moves to capture the queen while the king is in check then that implies illegal moves are allowed in the intermediate moves.

But if illegal moves are allowed then white can open with 1. Qxd8 Qxa8 Qxh8 Qd1 because once illegal moves are allowed then the whole game devolves a step further.

Accurately encoding the rules of games in a manner that does not allow for loopholes is a really hard problem. Just look at golf. A simple game in which you hit a ball into a hole in the shortest time yet the "official" (R&A) rules run to 230+ pages and has frequent updates to fix issues.

Cricket appears to be a far more complex game yet the laws of cricket as published by Wisden actually comes in at a slightly shorter 208 pages.
I’m fortunate in that I live a few hundred feet from a branch library with access to an awesome inter-library loan program.

To me, the ability to pick up a book and just start reading is amazing. Also, my wife is excellent at picking books for me, (better than me!) so it’s a sort of family activity.

I found that book a little disappointing. Some other books focus on macros and metaprogramming techniques that are unique to LISP (say Graham's "On LISP"), but despite all the differences between CLOS and Python all I could see was "look, I can draw a line between this function in the metaobject protocol and that function in the Python implementation of objects and get something very close to an isomorphism".

"Meta objects" are significant in many areas of programming where you embed objects from system A inside system B (as opposed to translate native A objects into native B objects). This ranges from "script a Java object in Python" to systems like COM and CORBA as well as UML, MOF, object-relational and object-MOF mappers, etc. Alternative "meta object" systems can expand the capabilities of a single object system.

I'm not sure if anything really good has been written about that topic, I think people aren't so interested in "objects in general" today but alternately we have had 30+ years experience with real-life object systems that can be consolidated.
Finally. This kind of freedom of choice was sorely missing in the JavaScript world.

Not only I will be able to choose package manager, frontend flavour, backend flavour, build system, unit testing framework, now I will be able to choose which runtime to pick as well. I can't wait to see how productive my team will be when this ships.
Lahars from Rainier might bury Renton, but definitely not from Baker :).
Qt more or less requires you to write C++ though, so it's understandable people don't want to use it. Even if you use QML you'll still write most of your app in C++.

Plus, customising the look of Qt apps is way way more difficult than web apps. QtQuick is better than QtWidgets but it's also waaaaay less mature. For instance you can't make custom scenegraph widgets containing text.
I'd love someone with more CV experience to explain why this fails on my use case?

> A 10% change in income is really worth an unqualified "avoid these states" recommendation

10% of a Tech company Eng Mgr salary could be 20-30k gross or more. All other factors being equal, this could be a deciding factor. Its one thing to look into, but I'm not the one looking so if I were, I would do more research than my anecdotal data and things I know currently. The other end of this is to find out from their employer if they will force a pay reduction because SF might get a "location bump" in salary.

I don't think anyone is qualified to know the tax laws of 50 states inclusive of the county/city/school taxes. Its a suggestion to the OP to factor in the tax burden of wherever they have narrowed their search. My main point was they could pick nearly anywhere in the US to get what they want, there are lots of small towns outside mid-sized cities that give you a main street feel.
The Importance of Compliance in DevOps
Yes, but those are still the exception. The rule is that higher order consequences are small or nonexistent.

The problem is that, there are so many of them that for any decision you will get many of those exceptions worth looking at.
Additionally you teach the kids to distrust everything and that monitoring like this is normal. They aren't as stupid as yesterdays adults that made these decisions. This is a failure of principals as well, they would not be collateral damage, it would be very necessary damage.
If the “blub” thesis were merely about choosing the right tool for the right job I’d agree with you (I think). But that isn’t his thesis. His thesis is that not choosing the language PG would choose (most likely, a lisp) means a programmer is a bit gormless. The entire point of that essay was a giant broadside ad hominem against a huge population of programmers and engineers.
There's some painful truth in this comment.

Not to mention - email is very easy to branch in order to more safely secure that record. If IT owns the email server, and IT is fucking up... very easy to BCC/Forward a copy of the whole chain to my personal email for my own records.

Give me a break. The world functioned fine before any and every random job required a university diploma and would be better off if people stopped asking for them. You would think on a site worshipping the famed hacker-without-a-degree this opinion would be absent.

That started in Q1 2020, not Q1 2022. So no, it's not that. Birth rates were unaffected throughout the worst of lockdowns and the economic crash.
It's notable that there are no references in this article. We actually have a 9 month supply of new housing now (which is a lot, that's up from a low of just a few months). Population growth in the US continues to go ever lower (but isn't going negative). Here is a nice data-driven video overview of this current economic situation and also about how this likely indicates a worsening recession ahead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6JBX8Y8XQM

It would be nice to see this data explored in a more localized way. I know there are excesses of new housing in some places and shortages in other places. I also don't know how much of the current excess housing supply is due to houses being built in less desirable locations.
Have you read it? What were your criticisms.
Cool looking

This is the most important part of Puppertino! […] In any case, coolness, it's my main focus with Puppertino.

So, looking cool is more important than adhering to the Human Guidelines? That seems kinda antithetical. In particular since the desire to “look cool” is a major reason why usability is often being neglected in practice.
Unfortunately, This scammer 'Adam Neumann' hasn't failed and still was able to exit out of WeWork with a ton of money. So he is not entirely a failed scammer and was able to get away with it and try again.

There is a huge difference in how you will feel when the tool that might put you out of work shows up.

Keep your comment somewhere. Come back to it when you look at a new tool that promises to merrily trample on your entire field’s income and provide an endless source of “usable, I guess” substitutes. Let it provide solace as you stare into a future with no room for the craft you’ve spent a lifetime honing.

I agree but not for the reasons you’ve stated. The rules you have complaints about seem to have straightforward interpretations.

On reaching the last row it’s the same promotion rules as pawns.

Re castling what they’re saying is that you can keep castling with rooks provided your king has never left the home row (ie the rook would have to leave to let you castle with the other one). A7 implies the king has left the home row and can no longer castle.

I do agree that there is ambiguity to clarify though:

* where is the castled position when the rooks aren’t in their starting position?

* what on earth does en pessant mean for kings?
> add unique convenience to the checkout process.

Why not just use something like Swish?

The transaction is finished immediately. No need to de-select any "Pay later" options etc. No need to install their app on your phone.

No need to share your purchase history with some third party with an yet unknown (undetermined) monetization model.
Swish is owned by your bank, and you already trust them with your transaction history.

Seems more convenient to me.

We'll have custom registry support. For local npm packages, that would be nice to have, but probably something that will be implemented later. It could actually be done in a hacky way with the existing implementation of this we have, but it would be better to have something specifically designed for this.

I take exception to the slack comments. It seems a tool that is very heavily used by developers and the tech industry, which of course is massive, but in Google Workplace, their chat does an adequate job for lots of inter company comms.

The most exciting thing I have seen in the last few weeks is getting emails related to comments in a google doc related to notes users post and either tag or ask questions. I love the ability right in the email to respond, in context, to what the users want to know.

I have to believe this will evolve and become more commonly used in email, which somewhat reminds me of the old Google Wave, of which i was a fan. They were onto something.

Properly focused, email is a very very powerful tool. Thanks for the post.
Well happy to recommend things to do. Kids seem to love City Park.
For a less cynical take, efficient use of resources is important as well. Theoretically every bridge should just be a solid wall going straight down to the nearest bedrock beneath it, but you can build a lot more bridges with the same resources if you use various other techniques. :)
Now sure what to make of "I live in a ~1000 pop town" yet can be in a bigger town in 10 minutes via car (in the East), and "I live in a ~1000 pop town" and it's 45 min to anything (in N. CA and the west). (Have lived in both.)
The reality is that fame (even the notoriety version) gives people the ability to summon literally hundreds of millions of marketing for free.

All things being equal, that makes them a pretty good bet.

Flow probably will have a far easier time getting PR than almost any other startup this year. Same goes for inbound CVs, follow on investment, and basically anything else that makes startups tick.

So it's not that surprising that he can raise from an S Tier investor with a smile and a landing page that's literally just a logo.
China builds world’s 2nd most powerful magnet, and it’s tiny
It is always interesting to read about how in the 19th century (and I'm sure some commenters from the developing world will say that this is still the case in some places) the defining feature of the middle and upper classes was the ability to employ servants -- note that that even when reduced to (at least to a British person) abject poverty, the woman is still able to retain one servant, albeit a child.
I'm not sure what the parent uses but I really enjoy using my Comandante Mark IV (which solves some issues with Mark III had, namely around body design). It's high quality, reliable, and consistent, and also easy to maintain since there's only a few parts that need cleaning. There are also a range of colors if you want something more eye popping. For me the only downside (besides price, it's around €275) is that I find the large logo on the side a little gaudy, but in practice it's not that bad.
Hydrogel that outperforms cartilage could be in human knees in 2023
Many of the top VCs still see themselves as the 'weird outsider' despite being unfathomably successful, and shovel money at moonshot projects led by charismatic charlatans.

Listening to Marc Andreessen talk about Web3 use cases was eye-opening. Despite being the guy that made web browsing mainstream (Netscape), he sounds like your typical crypto Youtube shill, all buzzwords all the time.
I see a lot of confusion over why anyone would want to take a stake in an Adam Neumann biz. Some guesses…

VCs are looking for return, and quickly, which is why they have glommed on to crypto projects. In the old model, you invest money, wait 5-10 years, and get a payoff when the company goes public or gets sold. With crypto, there is a much more immediate payoff with unregistered securities, AKA “tokens”. And then maybe a second payoff in 5-10 years.

There are no details from a16z or Flow on what this actually is, but I am guessing tokenized rent payments on a blockchain in some fashion, promising some sort of equity to renters, and quick returns to a16z. They came out with a splashy investment and a high valuation, and are hoping to make their money back on the unregistered securities, AKA tokens, and who knows, maybe more in 5-10 years.

Never underestimate the cynicism of a16z.
Their answer to this today is a strong subscription model for either console or PC. For "lifestyle" gamers it's probably the most attractive option.
One note on small towns: most of the people there aren't transplants, so you get their culture with them. American cities have a reasonably standardized culture, courtesy of hundreds of daily direct flights to each other. Small towns are still highly regional. Not saying there's no difference between Seattle and Miami. But most people on HN could find a social group in both.

Not so for Muleshoe, Texas.

If you're from the east coast, you might find the perfect physical scene in Oregon. But be prepared that west coasters are different from you, potentially in important ways that affect your ability to find a sense of belonging. Ditto if you're from California and looking at Georgia. Northerners and southerners, of course, look sideways at each other for lots of political and cultural reasons, but there are plenty of reasons to feel like you do or don't belong in a culture that aren't historically, culturally, or racially charged.

Most functioning communities consider themselves to have "good schools." Do you share their bar for that? "Good" for what?

Important questions. Climate isn't he only thing that varies by region. If you don't know the regional culture in an area that interests you, go stay a while.

(I've lived in the Pacific Northwest, both urban and rural California, both urban and rural Texas, Chicago, and New England, and spent substantial time in NYC and the Deep South. Trust me. It's not all the same.)
I think that's 3rd order, actually.

Discover or other banks/credit card companies will not just handover credit card numbers to Amazon. This would be a serious banking violation.

What you're describing is credit fraud. Amazon has no idea who authorized users of the card are. It's not required that the name on the card match the name of the person using it. Many places want it to match to prevent fraud as often times the end business is left with the loss of money and product but there's no legal or policy requirements. It's only that a person has been authorized to use it

CC numbers leaked from hacks that happen all the time. If this has happened twice in a row now, most likely the leak is on your side somewhere. Someone may have access to your systems or it could be a restaurant you frequent or any number if things. Amazon isn't the one to contact about fraud, your credit card company is the one to contact.

Their department has access to all the charges and fraud reports. Credit card companies do correlate fraud reports between them. One of the most simple and basic attacks is simply copying credit card numbers down at restaurants or any other place where your card may be out of your site for a few moments and it's totally normal for that to be the case.

You don't have any legal recourse against Amazon because they didn't do anything wrong. Unless of course you can show that they were the ones that perpetrated the fraud but them simply accepting a card it is appropriate for them to assume it was authorized to be used. Any legal recourse would be against your credit card company but in my experience I have never had to go the legal route with a credit card company. They are excellent at reimbursing for fraudulent charges and reissuing cards and tracking down the source of the fraud. If discover has not immediately reimbursed you for the charge on your card then they are the ones you need to talk to and point out these are fraudulent charges and the fraud happened twice. There should be no need for legal recourse because you have suffered no damages.
