So school busses aren't a thing in USA? Where I live it is hard to find a home that is more than 5-10 minute walking distance to a school, nobody with kids would want to live further than that from schools. Even stand alone single family houses are within that distance of schools, since they are built close around denser suburban centers. If you live in an apartment you are almost always within 5 minutes walk of a school.

Of course there might be places where you live close to these amenities in USA, but you have to pay premium for them since it isn't the norm. In Europe that is the norm and you expect to get it basically no matter where you live, even in the dirt cheap areas. Only exception is if you choose to live in the woods or something far away from other people, I know some who does that but it is a choice. If you live in a small town with a few thousand people you will still be able to walk to buy groceries and to early school. Later school uses the same buss/train system as adults so kids gets to use that.
My favorite part is tied between the paragraph where he argues that Trump supporters are the most oppressed group in America, and the part where he says "If they accuse you of being a racist, simply say yes, just for laughs." Sure, buddy, just for laughs.

An important function of pride flag logos and the like is to make people like the author reveal themselves so that others can avoid them.

There’s at least some disincentive to doing this with card networks (have to talk to someone, do it too many times and they’ll cancel your card , etc). Automatic, no questions asked unarbitrated disputes would collapse the system very quickly, it’s an unlimited free stuff hack.
When you know someone’s bank account number you can only send them money. This issue simply isn’t possible.
Luckily, this is an opt-in system. If you wake up and your car/wall is drained, that's on you for saying you're okay with that possibly happening.
No because this works through Tesla software.

And even if you could I doubt with fuel costs, the cost of the generator and cost of operating the generator you are not making much profit off $2/kw.

But the real reason of course is that from CA’s perspective they don’t want to incentivize cheap generators to burn diesel fuel in residential areas and try to feed that garbage power into the grid.

No, but it will be priority #1 for Apple, which is why they're opening other plants and not whoever you thin "us" is.
More like colossal wartime spending.

A fighting army (and navy, and airforce) is one hell of a market; they almost always would like more than you can manufacture.
The thing I don't understand is that a huge portion of the Americans who drive pickup trucks do not live in the big expensive cities, but in rural areas with lower costs of living, yet the prices are so high. Pricing pickup trucks at half to 2/3 of the cost of the house mortgage for customers just seems... stupid. They're pricing them at double the gas models in some cases and acting like they're luxury cars. If anyone were willing or able to cut back on automated touchscreen gadget headaches and offer a solid EV utility pickup, then EV adoption could be vastly accelerated in the USA.
BOE got caught trying to slip sub-spec panels into the pipeline and got spanked for it.
I agree with you. But we are already doing ton of things.

I know it doesn’t show on co2 concentration yet.

Solar, wind power, batteries, EV are all on exponential growth curves.

In 10 years we will be in a much different place.

At this point, a Fuss is all you have. if the web lets you "add a nameserver" there's a path out where you get a nameserver somebody you trust runs, to get a copy of the zone, and use "bind" journal de-compile tools to see it in plaintext

Depending on how long you have had the zone, re-delegating it through another registrar may be timelocked. Its a bit of a shit-show.

> 10%-14% back on hotels (Amex Hilton Aspire)

> This doesn’t count hotel and airline loyalty points.

Can you show your calculation for this? Hilton pesos get devalued on a daily basis in my experience, and they even nerfed their free weekend night with the Aspire credit card so that it is only useful for “standard” reward nights and not “premium” reward nights. Of course, all the nice hotels like Waldorfs and Curio will require premium reward nights.

I have never seen Hilton points worth more than $0.005 per point.
> you don't have to be a union activist to recognize that exporting american manufacturing jobs has been disastrous for our domestic working class

You do though. The reality is that "exporting" these jobs means cheaper products for everyone, and no one in what you call the "working class" wants these jobs to be in the US if it means they need to pay more for everything.

The US consistently manufactures more every year despite hiring fewer manufacturing workers because improved automation competes with US labor at lower costs.

> Households that bring in more than $135,000 a year recoup in points or perks around 0.6 percentage points of the interchange fees they pay.

This is bizarre to me. When the Citibank Double Cash credit card exists for no annual fee and pays 2% back...

why does anyone ever use any card that provides less? The only cards I use besides that one are the ones that give me 3% or 5% back in special categories.

The idea that people average only 0.6% back is absurd to me. Am I missing something here?

And we're not talking college students here with no credit history. This is households making more than $135K a year. Are people just not bothering to pick up free money?
Neither. 4chan is best.

Thanks for sharing your experience! My living situation is changing in such a way that I’ll be able to sing to my heart’s intent very soon.

The reason I’m thanking you in particular is that your story confirms a lemma in my pet theory of how human intelligence emerged. Humans are capable of interrogating their boredom, and not only observing but interjecting themselves in their subjective experience. What came first? Primitive language or rhythm? What came first? Complex language or music?

It’s obfuscated by modern technology and culture, but we can sing like the birds. More expressively, in some ways. Slaves sang in the fields and workmen in the mines. It’s the original smartphone, and perhaps the original way the human animal passed the time in a way that could be experienced and shared with others.

Idk, I’ve had a second glass of wine tonight, but your comment has brought me immense joy that I usually don’t find on anonymous sites, even HN. I didn’t even really explain my point in this comment, just rambled around and outline. Regardless: Keep singing, fellow baritone. Thanks for keeping the music alive. The experience of being an individual human being is all we have, and singing is one of those magical or amazing things that makes it, by all accounts, special.
For this specific example the problem is that the handleClick callback is using a stale/cached onImageDeleted callback (which indirectly has old state). If you add onImageDeleted to the handleClick dependency array, it beings to work as you expect.

Net settlement is a useful abstraction. Instead of a fully meshed network with every bank account in the country that was active that day having to be settled against each other, you can reduce the number of nodes to “just” the 14,000 banks and credit unions in the USA. Even that is simplified by running interbank settlement through a central clearinghouse at the Federal Reserve.

As long as operating a connection between two accounts has a non-zero cost and resolving consistency problems has a non-zero cost net settlement will be cheaper and easier.

This. Energy can take many forms. You don't have to store all in a battery.

Another idea: assuming you have an electric water heater, when your battery has been fully charged and you still have excess generation, use the excess to heat your water heater up to a very high temperature like 80 degrees C. You'll then be using very little hot water in the evening for showers and dishwashers, etc, and the water heater basically won't need to turn on at all.
Aah so am I not actually using it? Like I said, no idea. Most consumers don't.

What actual value does this provide the buyer or seller? All of these blockchain solutions throw out a lot of buzzwords but after over a decade, I'm still yet to see any kind of benefit being provided.
Not to go too far in this, but a lot of cultures aside from the soviets are complicit in this hunt, The icelanders, the japanese. The further back in time you go, the more there are.

Soviet whaling was "central" is important, and the book would be fascinating but its central.. to a group of economies. It wasn't solely responsible. What the soviet union needed was protein. It bought fish from as many sources as possible. I don't like the lies told, about their catch rate to the IWC and I don't like the pressure they put on open markets to source this protein, irrespective of catch limits.

This is something the Chinese economy has to do as well. They over-fish far and wide. This has to be actively policed inside each maritime nations exclusive economic zone. It's a big deal, and its a big cost keeping the boats which do this at sea continuously.

Japan over caught wild tuna for decades. I personally believe the parade of IWC theatre, was being used by the Tuna industry to mask the real story of their rape of the sea. Whale meat was a manufactured demand, Tuna was endogenous. (we read of huge frozen stocks of whale, and whale being offered below cost in school meals) I really do think the omygodwhales reaction, allowed the tuna over-catch to "sail under the radar" for a long time.

(The Article explicitly calls out the UK, Japan and Norway in this story.)
I use hooks for animation, which requires setting up and tearing it down. I can do that with an easy hook, while if I had class based components, I'd have to keep track of every single time I want to use an animation, which is duplicated effort. Now multiply that by many different types of hooks, like querying for state, using a network connection (and not forgetting to close it down), etc.
Maybe USA-specific, but I've been AMEX-only for around 20 years, and have no regrets. They handle fraud and chargebacks with almost no effort or followup required. Very infrequently, I'll run into a cheap-ass merchant who doesn't take AMEX, and I will either not do business with them or just pay in cash.

It absolutely can be, in Australia we have several players involved and from what I understand, integration is dictated by the network operator. Eg, provided the battery used supports VPP, you can join under a number of different providers offering different contracts. See here [1] for a comparison table.

>Yet, median income [0] and HDI [1] both at the macro level and at the prefecture level are comparable to Brazil [2][3] and lag behind both Russia [4][5] and Mexico [6][7].

This is the present. It does not mean China is a middle income trap nation. It continues to grow and advance in innovation.

Also, China's GDP PPP per capita has already surpassed Brazil. GDP PPP is a much better measure of stand of living than GDP/capita.

The biggest factor in whether a country stays in the middle income territory is innovation.

China is innovating. In some areas, it's already leading.

There are also a bunch of people sitting on the sidelines, waiting for a regulated network.

Since all of these things are basically just printed money based on the faith of the people, and since ETH is number 2, I think it will survive centralization and regulatory capture, since most of the populace could care less about these things. It just happens to be that the ethos of crypto libertarianism isn't that important to valuing the network.
cool idea, but those images are so... un-text-adventure? I guess they feel like they should be more low res? I guess too "real" removes imagination from the text adventure equation
The reasons most people are leaning towards absolutes is actually quite simple

1. From the employers point of view: If your company is not 100% remote, then you need to pay for one (or more) offices + all the associated costs.

2. From the employees point of view: If your company is 100% remote, you get complete freedom, you can choose to live cheaply. You can choose to live peacefully in the countryside. You can more easily manage your time. You get rid of commuting. Knowing you will get 100% WFH you can invest in a nice setup, start planning for it. If you company allows it, you can even travel, possibly to different timezones. None of that is easily possible with semi WFH.
oh it's certainly not free money (queue the seinfeld episode of kramer telling jerry to "write it off") but the discussion is about taxes or lacktherof. In no other investment that I know of are you allowed this double write-off: you can write off both the investment as it depreciates and the costs to make sure it doesn't depreciate.
> At some point we should outsource our armies and perhaps even governments.

Funnily enough, this was how war functioned in Europe between 1500-1750s. Armies were too expensive to maintain, so states hired mercenaries. The problem was that mercenaries wouldn't have any incentive to risk themselves to end things quickly. And when you inevitably run out of money to pay them, in the best case they'd just pack up and leave. In the worst case, they'd loot your city on the way out.

Introducing Vultr Managed Databases for MySQL
That's hard to argue with, though Java isn't known for convenient UI development either.
Have you considered that after seeing how the US handled Manning, handled Assange, handled Snowden, handled Ellsberg, handled Martin Luther King Jr, handled the Vietnam war, the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war, Guantanamo Bay, and the countless other shit just in the last half century, I might have a hard time putting them squarely into the "good guys" bracket?

That isn't to relativize in any way what others are doing - which is often even worse, no argument there - but I'm not grading on a scale where you get a passing grade at 40% just because China and Putin - and others - are even worse. Being the lesser evil doesn't make you "good".
Thankfully your little ranty response doesn't change the thesis at all.

If a war broke out between Taiwan and China - Vietnamese operations would be able to continue irrespective of Foxxcon's ownership. Which is the whole point.

The Indian foreign minister's comments are irrelevant in this context, and he's foolish to not contemplate the gravity of the war in Ukraine which has rattled the entire world economy. Actually, not 'foolish' just greedy: he wants to support Putin buy buying cheap Oil, and needs Russia to not be too close to China.

India, politically, is turning into a vile place, which is sad because there's been so much hope for them. Maybe they'll come back.

Russia->Ukraine is an invasion of the 2cnd largest Army in the world, of a relatively modern (if corrupt), large nation in Europe, directly connected to the EU, that has geopolitical implications the world over, as we've seen. Russian Defence Minister has declared that 'The Soviet Unions is Back' and their intentions to expand the Russian Empire into other countries. They've been trying to disrupt NATO nations (i.e. Latvia) for some time, and of course have their eyes on the Georgia and the 'Stans'. That affects everyone.

There has not been a war affecting major powers in a very, long time. Iraq and Afghanistan (and are not) geopolitically very important. Neither was the Iran/Iraq war.

Those wars could happen while the world watched and tried to figure out 'what to do' i.e. 'intervene' or 'not take sides' etc. but those wars are not going to spill out into the world economy.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is existential, just like a war between China and Taiwan is a 'hugely significant war' that will rattle the global economy like nothing we've seen in decades.

It will involve the US likely directly meaning world's #1 and #2 forces, both nuclear and huge trading partners, and likely include Korea, Japan, Australia, maybe Canada as well. Possibly Europe.

The result could shift the world order in the same way that Russian/Ukrainian invasion is i.e. Asians will be forced to pick sides in the cold war: USA/Japan/Korea/Australia/Europe ... or be Chinese vassal. Or try to fanatically figure out an in-between path, which maybe only India has the power to do.

Those with foresight would have seen this impending reality 10 years ago (see: Kevin Rudd, former Australian PM leading the Asia Society in US) but only now it's become very evident. And FYI it's actually quite rare that we can predict a war so early on - only when you have a kind of foreign policy that's really consistent over time is this going to happen.

And so: big companies realign. Those who don't are likely to pay a price.

China's #1 foreign policy goal is to take Taiwan and they are going to use all of their resources to try to do it.
Trust is the wrong word.

Confidence in the results is only possible thru mutual distrust. Meaning all belligerents recognize and honor the count.

The gold standard for our Australian ballot (private voting, public counting) style system is paper ballots cast at poll sites, tabulated using optical scanners, with results posted publicly the moment the polls close.

With postal ballots, the higher volume jurisdictions use image scanners. Think fax scanners with OCR software to identify the votes. Adjudication is done electronically, by updating the database.

Further, many jurisdictions scan postal ballots as they are received, before election day, running daily summary reports. The fiction is that "final tabulation" is the final report.

For postal ballots, signature verification is being automated. Computers automatically compare ballot's signature with voter's recorded signature. Back when I studied election integrity (20004 thru 2010), the error rate was ~10%, with no independent auditing or verification.

For postal ballots, 1% are lost in transit. What the USPS calls UAA (undelivered as addressed). Meaning a fraction of voters are being silently disenfranchised every election.
I'm a bit concerned that Manjaro is getting a bit of hate recently, and that this might impact the morale of contributors.

I'm glad Linux has a diversity of distributions, and I trust that users are selecting distributions that provide value to them, and I'm thankful for the work that goes into the development of Manjaro.

Let the rough collaboration/competition play out.
It really, really, really depends on the business.

Most places still accept cash as well so they still have all the expenses around cash management, that's not going away. And most places also have records/safeguards to see if employees are skimming -- bars are one of the few exceptions where it can be trickier, simply because almost no cash-paying customers want a receipt and it's dark and busy.

And when you factor in the fact that cash income can be hidden from the IRS in a way that credit card income can't, you can see how certain businesses might really wind up "paying" a lot more than just in credit card fees... ;)

as a Vietnamese, we just laugh when we read about those things, so out of touch with reality. It's very condescending as well, the logic is that developing countries are stupid so whatever deal they negotiate for themself must be at a disadvantage and bad for them. When I read criticism of China in Africa I could not help but asking myself, if these developed countries care so much why don't they invest in Africa so that Africa has choices other than China? The fact is China (and Vietnam mind you) are the very few countries willing to invest in Africa at their own risk. I would not be surprised if one day it's "communist Vietnam"'s turn to be the scapegoat.

> Same, I also wish there was a way to just block all calls from numbers not in my address book.

Depending on your phone/dialling app, you can already do this.

For me on a Pixel 3a, using the default Google Dialler I go to the Dialler app (where you dial numbers from), tap the three dots, settings, Blocked Numbers and there's a toggle "Unknown - block calls from unidentified callers".

iPhone has something similar, and I think Samsung's dialler also does too.

From the Parent Commenter:

> my phone helpfully lists a lot of spam calls as "Scam Likely" but I've yet to figure out how to make it just send those calls straight to voicemail

Similar to my other reply, you may be able to do this with the right phone/dialling app.

Again, for the Pixel 3a with the default Google Dialler: tap the three dots, settings, Caller ID and Spam, and there are three toggles.

See Calller and Spam ID. This shows if a caller is suspected as spam.

Filter spam calls. This rejects calls from suspected spammers (your carrier's normal rejected call handling then applies - i.e if you normally reject a call and it goes to Voicemail, then this is what will happen)

Verified calls. This allows companies which participate in the Verified Caller program to send the business information/reason for calling to your phone when they ring.
