Best is entirely subjective. ;) I'm quite fond of my own(1), but it's pretty basic and heavily modified/hacked together from a very minimal wordpress theme.

Let's start with the two you mentioned: looking at the source code, one's actually built from a squarespace theme, and the other is likewise built from a wordpress theme, feels like an slightly older one given it's not mobile responsive. That's not a knock, by the way - sometimes you want an audience that don't use phones or deliberately flock to the retro vibe.

I don't know your budget or capability to self-code, but browsing squarespace's themes would be what I would recommend if you have a higher budget, and likewise doing the same with wordpress if you're operating on a shoestring mindset. There's some gorgeous ones on both, though squarespace is far more curated and caters to a more modern/slick looking audience and clientele.

This is great! Hopefully the lambda you're using to aggregate your error logs doesn't have any issues. Though lack of signal is a signal, too.

We use logz.io which is a managed elk stack. It has a free tier with 1 day of log retention. They have a lambda log shipper that sends new cloudwatch logs to your dashboard where you can filter, search, and setup alerts.
There's been at least one Saudi spy found working at Twitter and convicted: https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/ex-twitter-employee-ahmad-abou...

> Saudi citizen Ali Alzabarah, who worked as an engineer at Twitter, used their positions to access confidential Twitter data about users, their email addresses, phone numbers and IP addresses, the latter of which be used to identify a user’s location

Internal data security practices could probably have helped limit his access

GrapheneOS supports installing Play services as a sandboxed unprivileged app [1] where you can revoke its network permissions and manually restore them if needed. I should know, it's what I do :).

What are you claiming? That Rupert Murdoch and his children are Russian sleeper agents?
I just wrote and published a library and CLI (for migrating postgres databases) to NPM using Typescript ( https://npmjs.com/package/nomadic ).

The Typescript itself, coupled with jest TDD made development very pleasant. The hardest part for me was figuring out how to publish the types so when a user installs it using yarn install, they get Intellisense. I think I did a poor job of it, as in the end I just published the source code. Even though I prefer when npm libraries do this ( as I can inspect the source in my editor easily ), I know the pros don't do that. If anyone wants to take a look and knows how to solve this type publishing, I'd be very appreciative.
This is true everywhere tbh. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos all came from families that were upper-middle class or rich.

It's not a bad thing imo since families should strive to improve their situation with every generation, but it's important to highlight that rags-to-riches stories are extremely rare.

There are probably many who also got their visa rejected and were stuck with huge loans for their studies and an Indian salary, or had to move to EU/CANZUK countries as a second option.
This is all well and good until you have to deal with other code and other APIs in your library (results from network requests, localstorage, untyped javascript libraries, etc.)
California is not better for working people because the cost of living is higher, in aggregate -- counting taxes together with everything else. You may be paying less property tax indirectly when you pay 3000 USD/month for a studio that would be less than 1500 USD/month in Texas; but you're paying massively for policy decisions around land use, permitting and zoning.
I added end-to-end encryption to my contact information sharing app, Neucards, because it is a perfect fit for the technology - sensitive information that is useful when shared with friends and potentially valuable to 3rd parties or open to abuse. It took almost a year to add this feature working on my own, but I sleep better knowing everyone's information is protected.
It seems like it should work that way.
Blame Prop 13, a proposition (law drafted by popular initiative) that was enacted in 1978 following rapidly rising property taxes, due to rising property values due to high demand. It passed with a staggering 62% of the popular vote.

Prop 13 leads to perverse incentives where homeowners are disincentivized to allow developments in their area, so that they can "Preserve the Character of the Neighborhood". (Otherwise, they may want to allow development, to reduce demand and thus their property tax load)

This also leads to underfunded local services, like education, which is mostly funded by local property taxes.

A few years back the doctor sent me over to the ER. Had I gone home instead there would have been zero (above background average) risk of dying in the next 12 hours. That doesn't say the doc was wrong in sending me there--I had a kidney stone, the risk was kidney damage and infection, not dropping dead.
> Nearly all of this is accounted for by property taxes and is really only true in specific locales (Austin). Most of the rest of Texas the overall tax burden is lower than you'd have in other states.

Is it?

My understanding is that they calculate the absolute value and then reverse it back into a % of their income (also known as effective tax rate, but in this case your effective tax rate for ALL taxes, not just income tax). The way I understand the data is along the following simplified example:

A person who makes $100k in CA with a 10% income tax, and a $1M valued home @ 1% tax, pays $20k in taxes each year, which is 20% of their income.

A person who makes $100k in TX with a 0% income tax, and a $1M valued home @ 2.2% tax, pays $22k in taxes each year, which is 22% of their income.

Texas is a regressive system because it taxes an individuals total take-home income harder even, and especially, when their wealth (most people's wealth is tied to home value) goes up. The whole state of Texas, even outside of cities, is seeing property values go up.

EDIT: Fixed my math. Posted that way too quick.

EDIT2: While my example illustrates the danger in property values outpacing wages, the crux of the current issue is largely due to excise taxes:

https://itep.org/whopays/texas/

Basically you pay an extra 6% "on all retail sales, leases and rentals of most goods, as well as taxable services" in the state of Texas: https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/sales//#:~:text=Texas%20....
I appropriate the complimentary commentary.
University system is an export. We can't export it if they stay.
My issue with this solution is we do not even allow private entities to build dense housing. So we are breaking a market and then saying the state is the solution. I interact with the government regularly and I do not have faith in their capabilities to get anything done.
Please don’t watch your baby in its bath, everything you see is matched against a database (rest assured for your privacy, everything is done locally in your brain - except if we need to human check - so you may experience slower thinking at times)
Would anonymous sources be more credible? Because they could always be anonymized.
This really shows how inadequate the right/left division is. The NYT is an establishment newspaper - they have a few “liberal” positions like tending to support gay rights or at least some access to abortion, although they’ve published plenty of op-eds from people who don’t - but those are more outliers than a trend. Get them started on classic leftie issues like worker or renter rights, taxing rich people, etc. and they’re about as left as you’d expect the average Yale legacy admission to be. The left/right divide really isn’t the best lens for this.

I put a lot of blame on unpaid internship culture: the national media tends to skew towards people from affluent families because that’s who can afford the early career steps in NYC or DC at way below cost of living.
“Be not afraid”
Given that you understand Twitter ranks based on interests, what's your evidence that this was "suppressed"? Rather than just ranked according to people's interests?

You seem to be saying that people should be interested in this story. I'm not sure I agree, but I definitely believe most Twitter users won't be. Is it a good headline? Sure. But does it have much direct and immediate relevance to their personal lives? Not for most Twitter users.
MSP is Miller S Puckette.
C Sound was the precursor to many of the visual and OO music programming languages, but needed to be compiled and was, well, difficult. Supercollider was heavily influenced by Max/MSP. David Zicarelli of C74 fame had a background in psychology before programming. Kit Clayton wrote the first version of jitter. Autechre are probably the best known artist for using all of the above mentioned software in some form.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. It all comes from somewhere. Texas does a better job of obfuscating and shifts more of the burden to lower incomes.
The ultra wealthy move to Texas to save on taxes, which gives everyone else the impression that they’ll pay less too.
> to claim it's full of nazis and racism isn't really true

Maybe not, but the platform has a history of being sympathetic to extreme right wing / white supremacist causes while censoring leftist voices, reflecting the political views of Steve Huffman aka /u/spez.
It is lazy journalism only insofar as the journalist did not eliminate the blogspam by linking to reddit rather than the underlying study. Which is annoying, sure, but does not invalidate the conclusions, and the root comment seems to carry a connotation that the conclusion is not trustworthy on the basis it came from a public forum and not an authoritative source, when really it's just one degree removed.
Does this account for home assessed value when comparing the property taxes between CA and TX? I know the effective property tax rate is lower for CA vs TX, but the homes are much less expensive in TX.
But the last decade has been especially bad, and the last two years even worse than that.

> I understand a key part of communism is you and your family own nothing

As I understand, a key part is coming to the realization you and your family have already been robbed (or evicted to go back to your example), and then to ask what's next? At least as I understand Marx, particularly in Capital v. III, the point is to construct a world in which poor & working class regain collective control of resources like food, shelter, health that sustain life. The abolition of transfer of private property is intended to end the cycle of extracted (stolen) life-sustaining resources ending up in the hands of the same family (or dominant group).

As a case in point, the theft of Black farm land has been well documented https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-black-farmers-lost-326-b.... The point of communist organizing in Alabama during the 1930's -- detailed in Robin DG Kelley's "Hammer and Hoe" -- was to protect Black small farm owners from theft of their meager lands, and to take actions so that sharecroppers (tenant farm workers) could collectively control enough land to sustain themselves.
What is the incentive for paying off my loans if others are getting them cancelled? I’m happy for them, but I might as well stop sending payments.
Yeah I’m really curious about the methodology here. Property tax is surely higher, but then again property values are a good bit lower. Income tax is certainly lower in TX (hard not to be). Sales tax I’d wager is lower in TX as well, at least on average. Not sure about utilities, but it’s not hard to have cheaper electricity than CA. Gas is no contest.

So what’s the angle here? Things that make you go hmmm…
Slow denials is a feature not a bug of immigration systems. Fast denials with systems that allow retries just quickly get backlogs of people applying again after finding a quick fix to the rejection reason, which makes it harder to give proper time to new applicants who may be more eligible.
Aren't rental prices influenced in part by property taxes. Surely the owner would want rent to cover both their mortgage and their tax.
That seems like a pretty underhanded request (meddling in someone else's affairs that you have no intention in being a part of).
One way to think about this is that color is information. We have a processing capacity for this information that became fully saturated somewhere between 1967 and 1973, and since then we've been creating a surplus that everyone has to filter out as noise. In that context, it makes sense to me that consumers (and marketers, and product designers) now choose simplicity over the radiant chaos of Jackson Pollock, Peter Max, or Ronald McDonald.

Why is it then that it's common understanding that Indian teams are usually bad? Why are they so difficult to deal with and why do they produce bad code?
It's a nice story except that the statistics seem to say something different. The states with the highest homocide rates are actually not very densely populated.

Looks like most of it comes from sales and excise taxes.
Yeah, obviously it's not ideal but I don't really see any problem with passing the card to what is, indeed, effectively a userspace driver (that happens to internally contain a virtual machine and Linux). Some upfront setup effort and lower performance beats not having a way to use the card at all!
When I read about event sourcing, my mind immediately went to how that would map to a K/V database. Has anyone done this in production?

Also - no mention of LMDB? RocksDB and LMDB feel like the ones that stand out in that field - levelDB definitely had a reputation for corrupting data.
Just the kernel is linux, but isn't basically all of the hardware support we need in the kernel?

Sure, we're still out of luck with trying to run mainline kernels, but what's stopping us from running normal GNU userland on top of a working Android kernel?
Very tangentially, the "Snakeoil Salesman" reminded me of a candidate I once interviewed. For an hour and a half they showed a dozen codebases cloned off github, explaining basically what the README.md explained without actually saying anything of substance, while using a lot of trendy buzzwords. Whenever we tried to probe concrete details they'd immediately jump to another project. It was the most infuriating interview I did by far.
> A person who makes $50k in CA with a 10% income tax, and a $1M valued home @ 1% tax, pays $20k in taxes each year, which is 20% of their income.

A person in CA a 50k income will not pay a 10% income tax OR usually own a $1M valued home.
This is not legal -- this is effectively an appropriation of money, which must be done by Congress.
I guess it comes down to income tax (California) vs. property tax (Texas). You have to make a minimum income to pay income tax, and many people don't cross that threshold, or if they do not by much, so "most people" pay more in Texas.
Here's a video of a crew reloading a Phalanx turret. Note how long it takes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk6HL8URIcI

An actual attack intended to overwhelm point defenses would be a single wave, obviously. There wouldn't be any chance to reload anything. Whatever you have in the magazines and VLS cells at that moment would be all you get.
You're also shouldering maintenance which is often not calculated well; the depreciation allowance the IRS allows for rental properties is a rough estimate but it's not perfect - it estimates that the property (house, not land) will be worthless in 27.5/30/40 years, depending on if you take GDS, ADS, or it was placed in service before 2018 - you usually want the fastest depreciation possible but there are reasons not to choose such, involving capital gains on sale, etc.

They're "small" expenses but if you track out the various things and divide them over the ownership period, they do add up.

E.g. - current house, here 5 years, so far: furnace and A/C, $9k, fence, $14k, landscaping and misc, $2k, tools and supplies, $3k, plumber and window repairs, $2k. So about $6k a year, double my taxes and half my mortgage again. And I haven't even hit the big ones (and didn't count appliances as those were "optional" purchases).

Owning is still a good idea for many, and has benefits, and renting will almost by definition be more overall, but it's not a given. You note the main advantage - stability. If you're on a fixed loan (whether it be 5, 10, 20 or 30 years) your payments are calculable years in advance and you get to pay much with tomorrow dollars, which are almost always worth less than today dollars.

But you do have to want to stay in the area for years.
This is a weird take considering most states offer tuition breaks for people that live in that state. If this is really how people felt about these schools you would think they would be boycotting their mere existence considering they cost a lot of state tax dollars to fund.
> Just why would you wade in the shit when there's a lovely clean pool right over there?

this pool isn't filled with shit, and the water over there isn't very clean, thats why.
I disagree. Someone is funding the construction in the same way that someone is paying for the land and keeping it subdivided (rental units) and available.

Tenants are more than welcome to form LLCs and collectively purchase land and build or buy existing housing. This is called Tenant in Common. Maybe that is a business (non profit) idea for you, make TiC easier.
The game of any ecological/political system is to acquire power, the exact system is merely the set of rules you play by to get it.

Anyone who has owned property in Texas, and then sold it, and moved to SF, and bought a house might not concur.

Glancing at it very quickly via Unpkg, I _think_ you really just need to fix the broken `types` path reference in `package.json`.

Right now, your `dist` folder has `dist/index.d.ts` available, but `package.json` points to:

"types": "./lib/index.ts"

Just change that to:

"types": "./dist/index.d.ts"
You can use your GPG key as an SSH key[0], and you'll also only need to manage one key - although that doesn't fix whatever issues you might have with GPG, of course.

it drives me nuts and is completely at odds with the "liberal" values here
You need to read the detail. If your home's value outpaces your wage increases (on an absolute basis, not for a like-for-like percentage), then you could pay more as a % of your income in TX than CA.

Let's say you bought a house for $100k 10 years in a small town in Texas. People start moving in, but you still only make $50k/year. Now your house is worth $500k. That 1-3% property tax still hits your income.
You aren't getting a $200K house with pool anywhere anyone on HN wants to live. The median house valuation in Frisco TX will reach $1M in a year or two.

And that's just a random suburb nobody outside of TX has ever heard of.
With enough data, you can model user behavior pretty accurately. But you can also use the same data to train models that generate valid user behavior patterns.

The ad industry is very profitable, but it seems to hang in the balance. Ads are effective as long as data you use to segment users are accurate. What happens if data becomes corrupted? Something like "This Person Does Not Exist" [0], but for user data. Your user behavior just remarkably similar to your actual behavior, but you can filter out the sensitive parts.

I'd love to see someone come up with a program or little gadget you can solder to the "smart"-things, and actual usage telemetry will train a locally deployed model that generates user behavior data that is indistinguishable from real user data, only it doesn't say anything about you.

I don't believe that the court system in the US has any influence on the legal rights of gay people in Iran.

But even if we ignore the point about the middle east and focus entirely on one nation, legal defenses for majority groups have observably failed to protect subaltern groups for the entire history of the country. I do not have confidence that a strong court system protecting white male misogynists will actually consistently protect black gay women, for example.
