> If you have the money to outright buy a rural property and build a house there

That's if there are available builders. It took my mother the better part of a year to get her roof replaced, because there was no one available to do the job. I'd also argue that the place she lives in rural VA is pretty awful in most respects other than having space and she's not all that far from a town.
I do find it annoying, probably because I know people who think remote work isn't work. I've caught myself accidentally using "return to work" as well and I appreciate when people catch me.
Can someone explain. From their definition it looks like the credits and debits column in their example transaction table is flipped e.g. the first "debit" to the cash (debit normal) account increases the value, while the "credit" to the equity (credit normal) account also increases the value.

What the article does not consider is US police expenditure. In many major cities policing is ~30% of general fund expenditure. If US police expenditure was a country’s military budget, it would astonishingly rank 3rd worldwide.

Hiring more police is not the simple solution, there needs to be a fundamental cultural shift among American police away from militarization.
The opinion piece is from an author of book on the same subject. I am not agreeing or disagreeing with the opinion. Though I have to consider that the statements have been well researched enough to publish in a book, not only this newspaper publication.
VS Code users are generally pretty junior or solo. Once a developer gets serious they'll usually need to go to a full IDE and that's either a JetBrains product or Visual Studio (xcode for Apple).
I often watch architecture videos with houses from australia. Lots of properties built more or less to look like contemporary style stock photography. No wonder your houses are expensive, they are built for luxury investment
What gets me is the dramatic language. I don't think home values would "massively" decrease with a few multi-family residences in the area. What's funny too is that even if they did, the Andreessen family is one that could easily afford to eat the loss.

Meanwhile no one blinks twice when home prices increase 20% over just a few years and put housing out or reach of even more families.
I’m probably extra sensitive to it; I’m both an amateur photographer and do computer graphics professionally (i.e. study the physics of reflections). Physically, reflections will always align vertically given a horizontal mirror surface, so the very first image in the article is a really pretty extreme example of incorrect reflections. It hit me immediately and pretty hard before I even had a chance to scroll and see the rest of the images. The cloud in the reflection is in the wrong place and the reflection has a big underside shadow that doesn’t exist. The mountain peaks don’t match, especially visible on the peak on the left, and the sun-lit unshadowed parts of the mountain don’t match. Once you start to see these things, it becomes second nature to recognize them and hard to unsee them. :P I used to have a kids book with an illustration that had a reflection of the moon clearly in the wrong place, and it drove me nuts.

How is that different from the present? Why are these "AI-transformations" different from what a compiler can do?

My argument is for stronger private property rights, the elimination of state-enforced zoning, fewer regulations, and the right to build whatever kind of housing you want on property you own, which can be characterized as "communist" to the extent that words have no meaning.

Your position is that the state should use central planning to determine which kinds of economic activity are allowed on which parcels and then restrict property rights accordingly. The call is coming from inside the house.
To follow up, fengning is on an existing river, uses an existing lower reservoir, has favorable geography, cost between $1.8 and $3 billion somewhere and stores 40GWh with 3.6 GW power.

This makes it better than existing batteries for ~1 day time scales and roughly on par with the upcoming generation of things like sodium batteries.

It's not a clear indicator as it's obviously optimized for power, but these all seem to be big advantages specific to the site which would indicate that an artificial reservoir would have trouble competing even against batteries.

Different sources have figures that differ by a bit (presumably projections vs actual) and most seem to have some mistakes. Here's one. https://www.nsenergybusiness.com/projects/fengning-pumped-st...

I could believe that you might improve storage/cost by a factor of 10 if you found a suitable reservoir by reducing power, but that seems to back up my initial assertion that you need specific geography and to significantly change the ecosystem fairly well.

As such it seems like it is not much better than a battery for displacing fracked methane, oil, or nuclear for mediating seasonal variability (which is what synthetic denser-than-hydrogen fuel is for as it is optimized for approximately zero cost per capacity at the expense of the highest cost per joule with competitive cost per watt).

Plus batteries still have a 10-20% efficiency benefit.

Unless you are constrained in space to a single ITX case as in this example, you can get whole x86 machines for <$100 with RAM and storage included.

There is a lot of choice in the <$150 range. You could get eight of these and a cheap 10-port switch for any kind of clustering lab you want to set up.

Ask HN: Why isn’t there a high quality self guided audio tour app?
With smartphones and GPS, it would seem that self guided audio tours would be a no-brainer. With all this focus on augmented reality, why isn’t there a bunch of high quality apps targeting this market? Detour tried a few years back and failed, but every day people continue to spend money on travel and tour guides, so what gives?
Yeah indeed I should have specified that the whole "mainline linux compatible" is mostly because the Pinephone and the Librem don't use Qualcomm (or worse Mediatek) SoCs.

You’re ignoring depreciation recapture which can have significant tax implications even with a 1031 exchange. It basically claws back the depreciation you used to offset rental income.

Yes, if you take on the debt after the inflation it does you no good.

But if you take loans in 2015 dollars and repay them in 2022 dollars, you are better off in terms of repayment by having a lot of inflation during that period. It doesn't matter what purpose you took the loan for.
> Maybe I wasn’t as clear as I could have been. I’m not making any assumptions about elasticity. If supply increases, I’m saying that the extra cost of solar doesn’t matter (yet) so long as the pool of buyers is large enough that the supply can be consumed by buyers who can afford the extra cost for solar.

Simple econ stuff: add a $10k per-unit "tax" to producers; the cost is borne by the suppliers and consumers according to the elasticity of the supply and demand curves, and quantity decreases.

https://www.reviewecon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/excise...

The shaded regions are, of course, slightly different when you're imposing a cost on suppliers that results in some value to the buyer. But the intersection of the supply and demand curves moves left, which means quantity falls.

The only case that quantity doesn't change is if there's no elasticity.

Mostly agree. I recently caught up with Peter from Journey.io for an interview and he mentioned exactly this. Something along the lines of "the era of janky MVPs is over." There's certainly a balance of shipping an MVP and shipping crap. I think if you routinely ship crap, or things that are subpar, for the sake of speed, users will start to associate all of your work with crap.
The "three on the tree" manual column shift is the ultimate anti-theft device these days. There aren't many of us left who know how they work.
It’s absurd that our insecure voting system is not only dependent on proprietary software, but on proprietary software developed by a foreign company. Why is a company with offices in Serbia and Canada responsible for the security of US elections? Forgive me if I won’t blindly place my faith in the motives of the programmers or the program’s correctness.
If you are still demanding an apology, that is an answer to my question and an indication that you don't see the same ethical problem I do in pricing otherwise healthy people out of lifesaving medication.
For those of you who like the blockchain, think of that as triple entry accounting -- you put one charge as credit in one column, debit in another, and a public record on the blockchain.

Probably the #1 most popular, mature, and likely-to-actually-work-on-your-machine cross platform UI framework today is Flutter. And there are very few programmers out there who would otherwise be touching Dart (its implementation language) with a ten foot pole.

I understand that Hacker News is a place where "... written in Rust!" is often a sure technique for making a post reach the front page. But the reality is that implementation language has very loose coupling with real-life success.
I find it funny that I agree with you in some ways that others might not.

For example, I agree people should ditch the dumb super hero movies and do something better. Maybe garden or learn to weld or something.

But I completely disagree with you that humans are destroying the planet in an unsustainable way.

Sure, there are huge challenge and excesses, but the human spirit should also bring solutions.

Particularly in the face of both energy and water shortages, we should be building coastal nuclear plants.

Not only do they provide clean energy, but they basically function as desalination plants.

That and it's pretty glib to make people "uncomfortable" so they don't procreate. Especially when here in the US we barely even have population growth.

I mean with VM-leaking things like Spectre (not sure how much similar things affect ARM tbh) having physical barriers between your CPUs can be seen as a positive thing.
I was actually surprised at how good the reflections are, given that the model has no "understanding" of what a reflection is or of the underlying three-dimensional space implied in each image. There are peaks that don't quite match up (the first example is probably the worst, with an entire extra peak), but overall, it's remarkably accurate for having no concrete ruleset for the domain it's working in.

This appears to assume that the whistleblower would have to leave the company afterward, which may not be justified given (a) the strong anti-retaliatory protections, (b) the highly-regulated nature of Wall Street, and (c) the nature of these settlements.

While I draft an easy prompting for complex YubiKey SSH MatchHost (not yet git-pushed), I’ve got this OpenSSH configuration tool based on user-prompting of many other OpenSSH-related configuration settings into sshd.conf/ssh.conf file using /etc/ssh[d].conf.d directory holding many setting files.

Each setting file has a full comment page on how to use its keyword, a commented-out default setting, and a CISecurity-recommended setting.

Each setting files are named (via numeric prefix) to be in execution order, which enables for easier thinking of “how deep” it goes into the SSH protocol.

As a default, the config files are written into a local build/etc/ssh subdirectories for perusal before being implemented manually into /etc

Plus, I code-review OpenSSH regularly.

Leveraging other people’s work doesn’t invalidate your own work…

Even if assuming the ‘leverage’ is of overriding importance, Isn’t it fairly obvious that in this example the general could also make the wrong decision which will also leverage the work of millions, missile builders and so on, to a very negative outcome?

If that occurs, do the millions of folks who worked directly on some aspect bear collective responsibility? And the general’s decision then becomes inconsequential in the mass of millions of other decisions?

Your line of reasoning leads to an absurd conclusion in which no one’s decisions can have a disproportionate impact.
The equivalent to rental income is "with dividends reinvested". Dividends are the cash flows from owning a stock, just like rent is the cash flow from housing. So the 10x capital appreciation from housing is equivalent to the 37x capital appreciation from the S&P 500.

You and anovikov reach different conclusions because you're looking at different time scales. You're citing returns from 1870-2015; he's citing returns for the last 40 years, 1980-2020. The comment and paper you linked itself explains why: housing and equity returns were very comparable from the period 1870-1945, but equities significantly outperformed from 1945-present. I would bet on suburbanization as the cause: the U.S. embarked on a massive homebuilding project from 1945-2000, which kept supply high and prices relatively low during that period. Returns to housing since 2009 (when the bottom fell out of the homebuilding market) have much more closely matched equities.

Yes, and by 2030 [0] between China and the US/NATO-aligned

To compete in the first half of the 21st century, China must solve two issues: 1) Oil 2) Semiconductors.

1) China's domestic supply is woeful and they already import nearly half their oil. They are then constrained by the Straits of Malacca and all the myriad other channels into the South China Sea. NATO-aligned countries border much of that area and have very good strategic situations already. NATO-aligned countries and the US can effectively close off these routes at a moment's notice. Their only other option is pipelines through Xiangang and the Uyghurs to the oilfields of the Caspian. Both areas are under heavy development by China currently.

2) 1.5nm chips are another form of constrained resources, especially in the 21st century. Nearly every one is made in Taiwan. And nearly every chip fab is intentionally near the best landing sites during a potential invasion[1]. If Taiwan and NATO-aligned countries want to shut off or decrease the supply of the latest generation of chips to China, they can do so at a moment's notice. Imagine the chip issues we currently have with Ford and GM, but over the entire economy of China. It would hurt China quite a lot and the foreign source of chips is an outstanding issue for China's security, as Javelins have proved in Ukraine.

China must solve these issues by 2030 at the latest. If they do not, then they allow for the NATO sphere to completely run away in capturing these two critical resources of the 21st century. Very recently, the US was allowed to produce to last generation 3nm chip fabs in Texas, a giant issue for China. The window for China to compete with the NATO-sphere is quickly closing [2]. If China does not act fast to secure the 1.5nm chip fabs in Taiwan and solve it's oil fragility, it will forever be at the mercy of the NATO-sphere.

[0] Dear God, I hope I'm wrong

[1] And, no, you can't just spin up a fab in a few years. They are extraordinarily tricky things to create and there are literal decades of closely kept trade/national-security secrets that the Taiwanese have.

[2] I would say it has already closed, as Ukraine has demonstrated with Russia
Does MacOS really have that finesse they try to emulate? First thing I noticed when I started using a mac is that double clicking the Finder titlebar only expands it vertically while every other app expands both vertically and horizontally. Second thing, when I close a window and then press Cmd+tab, the icon is still there, and if I select it nothing shows up. There's more of these everyday things that work sloppy so I wonder why does the mac have that image of finesse when I don't really see it.
This is a good take, but easy to misunderstand.

The main problem is that MOST "programming" languages/environments are not made for business apps, (or for other niches, btw).

Python? Ruby? Julia? Delphi? all fail to work to make(or solve even small cases of) business apps.

By a long mile.

I have personally made an ios+android react native app that used native maps functionality (google maps from google cloud services in android and apple maps in ios). Not even using expo
all the app was 100% react native EXCEPT the maps
it was a bit awkward, but not really a HUGE issue (note this was in 2016, it seems it is easier now to integrate native code and expo today exposes a lot more functionality without needing native code). The main problem is that, for the very specific parts you need to do native you do need native developers (I did the android native part as I was a bit experienced with android native, but we had to get help for the ios part)

Honestly the hard part was making ios and android maps feature-compatible. We wanted heatmaps and apple maps and google maps have completely different algorithms to render heatmaps

This model is used to construct a "Fund flow" representation of how money should be moved. One of the essential concepts we use to verify that money is moving through the system is "Clearing", where we add up all of the edges and the balance should equal 0 - that is money reached its intended destination.

General-purpose buttons whose action changes with context are just as bad as touchscreens. The whole point of tactile interfaces is that the buttons and controls have a consistent action regardless of context. A button that sometimes does one thing and sometimes does another depending on what is on the screen is no better than a touchscreen, since it requires active attention to operate.
looks like we are in disagreement about this.
Looks interesting but no E2EE (OMEMO) makes it currently a no-go for me.
