I quite like Jonathan Blow. I think this talk is kind of poor though, I remember watching it a couple of years ago in its full context (linked in the youtube description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSRHeXYDLko).

IIRC it had a bit of a "kids these days" / "they don't make 'em like they used to" feel to it. It's not untrue, but it doesn't really explain anything.

IMO, a MUCH BETTER version of a similar point was outlined by Bert Hubert in this article:

https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/how-tech-loses-out/ - How Tech Loses Out over at Companies, Countries and Continents (Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQccNdwm8Tw)

In short, this goes beyond software; it's in general about why the incentives around specialization and outsourcing/offshoring cause innovation and expertise to die out. Bert Hubert takes the example of toasters, but it's of course very generalizable:

> The problem is that this is not just a toaster problem. This is a continental problem. All over Europe, this is happening simultaneously, where we’re saying, look, we’re not that much into actually building things anymore.

> So we’re just getting everyone else to build stuff for us. [...] We’re just thinking about things and then telling some other people how to do their stuff.

> In the end, you cannot survive if all you create is intellectual property.

What about Finland? Very poor in the 1800s, rapidly industrialised and became wealthy in the 20th century. They did have a civil war but I'm not quite sure that counts as oppression by itself.
That jumped out at me too -- so I looked up what appears to be the source [1] and it does indeed state:

> "Regardless of size, the fees are most merchants’ highest operating cost after labor"

but I'm as incredulous as you are. Obviously things like cost of goods, and also usually rent, are also going to be higher.

I can only assume it's based on some really misleading survey, and I'm honestly surprised to see The Economist, of all publications, repeat something so obviously economically questionable. (To be sure, they attribute the claim rather than state it, but they present it as if it's true.)

I did not have critique in mind when I wrote that comment. I merely stated what I expected to happen without voicing my judgment.

But assuming the 1. outcome is both morally "bad", 2. and a realistic prediction, 3. which happens to be a necessary consequence of capitalism; and also 4. it's safe to assume that moral judgement of the consequences also apply to the cause: Well then yes, if all 4 of these hold, then my post carries hidden criticism of capitalism ;)

My wife's new car, to many screens. My old car, buttons I can touch from memory without looking. The worst part about her car, you can customize the screen in front of the driver but not really. 3 items on the screen - circular thing, status thing, circular thing. There are a total of ~12 versions of the stuff in the circular thing. The information in circular things would work just fine on either side. However for some reason they spilt it 6+6. You want item from right circle to be on left side, nope! There is no reason why. It is a flat display (ie, on flat screen, not 3 screens) and it is just software. No reason for this. It is a display.

For everything that is normal, like AC, etc. please just stick to buttons!

This is the first example I’ve seen of truly what distributed automation can do. Once the “network” reaches a critical mass of participation (think of early Facebook), it becomes exponentially more valuable.

This is the true promise of things like autonomous vehicles too. They’re not just to free up your driving time; once there are enough of them, it unlocks the whole next tier of promise: emergency vehicle access gets way better, whole categories of deaths get reduced, parking lots reclaimed, etc.
It may be fun, yes, but I've found that experienced engineers aren't eschewing libraries like this because they hate fun and learning new things.

Rather, it's because experience has taught them that the looks-cool slightly-magical stuff like this is hard to maintain once a codebase reaches a certain size, and maintainable code is boring and obvious.
That’s a fun example, because while you’re right, that may also be changing. Android’s new Bluetooth stack is in Rust, in my understanding. We’ll see if more vendors provide even more stuff in Rust in the future!

>prone to being embargoed

Most US / global industries wouldn't be going anywhere without PRC supply chains / rare earth processing. Besides PRC is calorie self-sufficient and produces enough raw resources domestically for war economy, and export to west is like... 5% of GDP total, i.e. trivial in total war scenario. Now go look up how much steel, oil and other primary inputs PRC generates domestically... it wouldn't remotely deindustrialize meanwhile PRC military capacity wouldn't just be untouched, it would be allocated the redirected industrial resources to sustain aquisitions multiple times current size.

It's 2022, India and Japan do not remotely have capability to blockade PLAN. Refer to the detailed studies coming out of US wonks recently are questioning the feasibility of whether US can effectively enforce a blockade at all, which btw is an act of war, and in age of networked mutual vunerabilities PRC has options to make US/containment partners to hurt comparably. The amount of oil US produces is not measured in millions of barrels but 130 vunerable refineries and other critical infra that PRC can target in retaliation. Absolutely expect US industrial outputs to come to a crawl, John Deere tractors bricked in the fields, and homes freezing because half the energy grid is compromised in event of PRC blockade. Or that we maybe in or near the timeline where PRC will gain conventional global strike capabilities that places US CONUS at conventional risk.
> I acknowledge these sensibilities are mostly, well, wrong.

The scale of energy in the geothermal layers we can reach dwarfs our consumption and will take time greater than human existence to date to alter in a manner that impacts the orbital scale geophysics.

> And we're dumping the heat into the atmosphere which also doesnt really need additional heating.

The crux of the climate issue is our increase in the heat insulation properties of the atmosphere (now mainly via CO2, more and more by increased methane and water vapor) not so much the "heat" we output.

Vast amounts of energy arrive on the surface via the sun, most of this radiates away .. the increasing amount of "human activity related blanket" has been the cause of change in recent (few thousand years) climate stability.
Can you use the AXFR or IXFR command to list the zone?

Do you have e.g. a bind .jnl file of one of the NS behind the zone, because you can re-create the text form of the zone from the binary zone state in journal.

Do you know how to talk to the Registry, rather than a registrar, because you own the domain, and even under contract for service, its your name, not their name unless you signed a very awkward contract.

Do you have a lawyer? I think you need one.
I really would like to hear the opinion of HN people about the Brazilian system.
Sure, I don't disagree with you here. Climate control should be dedicated buttons.

There's a place for middle ground though: sequences of button presses.

For instance, keying in 1-3-4 to enable this or that feature (where the buttons are 1 to 5).

It can be done purely by touch, but it'd be hard to discover and memorize such sequences without a screen. However, once you discover them, you don't need to look at the screen.

Quick math shows a long range Model 3 has about six times as much battery capacity as a Powerwall. I’m willing to bet more people have Model 3’s than Powerwalls. And I’m willing to bet 16% of your car’s battery capacity will impact you far less than 100% of your Powerwall.

Isn't a power emergency exactly the time you want your battery to be full? Why would someone with batteries want to drain them for a pittance and just be another person without power?
Why would you need to do that? Just put solar arrays at the poles. There might be some practical limitations with power transmission to other parts of the moon, but extremely high-voltage power should be easier to do there than on Earth, since there's no oceans in the way, nor any atmosphere (so no problems with discharge from the high voltage wires).
Your going to pay with some sort of payment card, and credit cards are easy to sign up for and less hassle to use with payments than debit cards, which require you to tap in a pin all the time. Also less fraud protection, etc.

The discussion on theconversation is really good. Adding comments here might well be superfluous. I went browsing, and a lot of things said there made sense. "good intentions" aren't enough when it comes to human habitation, and a lot of design concerns were broken, ignored, or misunderstood in a context of expediency, with a long tail.

It's sad, because this may prevent better re-runs "next time" and by golly there will be more "next time"s a-plenty. I think it's important people try, but they have to try better: This one, it didn't work.

The state run re-homing projects in Australia for the floods here, have been a shitshow: too little, badly sited, really badly handled. In some places (Lismore) they're using demountables and "little homes" which meet spec (in most ways) because we have a huge industry of fly-in fly-out mining work and consequently have a big industry which understands how to make temporary-longlife shelter. The problems are mostly organisational. (not involved, and probably could be corrected on this)

In other places (Goodna) the residents are very unhappy. Traditionally ignored, now feeling really badly ignored, facing buybacks in a market for housing which has gone crazy, to live there they had to be cash-poor, and now, even with support are going to struggle to find "good" homes.

We built quarantine camps (unfortunately not close to these flood zones) which could re-house hundreds, if not thousand(s) of the affected families, but at huge disruption.

We emptied them out of caravan parks, to free up caravans for pre-booked holiday makers, to get the revenue from holidays into the (badly battered) local economy. De-housing locals, to get .. richer holiday maker money. Its bizarre.
> There is nothing intrinsically "western" about human rights.

It would be interesting if you could give an example of similar ideas from seriously non-Western cultures. Say, Asia has plenty of cultures, a number of them with highly developed, original schools of philosophy.
> Which is why California needs to fix the policies that led to its housing shortage. There is no inherent reason for California to be so expensive, it is a deliberate policy choice driven by local governments.

There's a lot of truth in that, but it's also an oversimplification.

There is plenty of cheap land in California, here, have a quarter acre lot for $15K:

https://www.redfin.com/CA/California-City/Princeton-Ave-9350...

Of course it's cheap since nobody wants to live there. If everyone wants to live in San Francisco, it's going to be much more expensive. Building more helps but in the end there's only so much that can realistically be built in 50 square miles. Some people will always be left out so there will always be some unmet demand, so it'll never be dirt-cheap.

So yes policy obstruction is a thing, but there are also inherent reasons why popular places will never be cheap.
They don't charge extra for credit card payments, but they pay the fee on the majority of their payments, so it's baked into their margin. The cash-back arrangement reduces this by ~1% in effect.
How does it work with travellers & tourists then?
Part of it is inherent to the type of account. Ledgers have to balance out somehow, and fraud is going to temporarily be someones problem until it is resolved. Credit is, by definition, the bank's money.

For example, US also has similar laws for debit cards, but, by definition, when a charge is made to your bank account, it is made to your bank account.
This seems like textbook fraud to me. It doesn't matter if there are hints here and there, if the "merchant" is directing you through a flow that will direct funds somewhere other than you intend (or other than they claim), it's fraud.

Do you? I think they're referring to these packages[0].

For me `nixpacks plan .` seems to generate a plain old pip (or poetry) install. The problem with the python packaging ecosystem is that since the start, in order to figure out which dependencies a package has, we needed to run arbitrary python code (setup.py). I can write a package in 5 minutes that declares its deps with `random.choice`. If you're installing from pypi.org, then there's no reproducibility guarantee. Though, I know nothing about Nix or how it works, so maybe you're changing pip's index-url somewhere else..

>I hate the current trend of smearing your business logic across dozens of third-party providers with various business goals that rarely align with yours.
I'm also not confident that the constant churn of keeping up with API changes (if not outright deprecations like this) and costs of the third-party services end up costing you more than just doing it yourself.

I suppose the problem is that it's hard to evalute the total cost of ownership. Migration to a 3rd party and operations costs can be reasonably forecasted, but how do you evaluate business or product continuity risk? Without being able to evaluate that risk, the 3rd party service always seems artifically "cheap."

Can you buy insurance against vendors dropping their services? I've licensed some tech before that included statements that if the company were to go out of business, the code would be open sourced so as to not leave people high and dry.

>There's no technical reason why bank accounts couldn't be similarly protected, but banks have thus far been successful in preventing such laws from being enacted.

My bank's (Chase) policy limits debit card customer fraud losses to the same $50 that the law requires of credit cards.

Not sure about other banks, but while I'm not sad that I have this protection, Chase's anti-fraud measures for debit cards (mostly programmatic, I'm sure) are pretty draconian.

If I travel any significant distance from my home, transactions with my debit card are almost always declined and I either have to contact customer service (a big time waster) or use a credit card.

That's incredibly annoying, although if that's the reason my debit card fraud responsibility is limited to the same as a credit card, that's a trade off that some may be willing to make and some will not.

Given that my debit card has been the subject of fraudulent activity several times and the bank has made me whole every time, perhaps there's something to be said for the harshness of the debit card anti-fraud algorithms.

But it's still incredibly annoying.
so the same thing i did but more convoluted and requires a distro package and a service?

nah.

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].

There is no denying the amount of growth the service sector in China has seen, yet a lot of this growth and development is among a sliver of the population living in better developed regions such as the various coastal prefectures. Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shanghai, etc can be treated as developed, but what about the hinterlands such as Sichuan, Ningxia, Hunan, Guangxi, etc? This middle income trap is not a good thing by the way - I take no joy pointing this harsh truth out because this means hundreds of millions of PRC nationals are stuck in less than ideal economic positions.

Also, if we are talking about the value chain, Brazil is very high in the ONG (Petrobras, Odenbrecht), Aeronautics (Embraer), Automotive, and Defense (Odenbrecht, Embraer) value chain thanks to economic policies in the 90s and 2000s that are comparable to those the PRC has started adopting in the past 10-15 years.
