I just received the following email letting me know that MoviePass, an HN discussion favorite, is coming back:

---

We are so excited to announce that we are beginning our launch sequence to bring MoviePass back. For those of you who don’t know MoviePass was sold back in 2017 to a private equity group and due to mismanagement subsequently closed its doors. Last year I, one of the original Founders, bought the company back with the plan to relaunch it. Time Magazine did a great piece that does a wonderful job of explaining the sequence of events that lead to this point.

I want to thank everyone for their support in helping us get here. So many of you have called, emailed and even stopped me on the street to show that you still had your original MoviePass card and talk about how much you loved the service. So if you were a 2012 OG or caught the wave towards the end we look forward to welcoming you back.

We will begin relaunching the service beginning Labor Day - September 5th. But prior to that we are opening up our waitlist to be able to join.

Being on the waitlist will be the only way to be able to sign up for the service in the foreseeable future. This Thursday, August 25, 2022 we will open the waitlist at 9a ET at MoviePass.com There is no cost to join the waitlist. Space will be limited and on a first come first serve basis. The engagement from the waitlist will help us to determine which markets we will open first and thereafter.

Each person who joins the waitlist will receive 10 friend invites that will activate when they sign up for the service. If you do not make it on the waitlist the only way you will be able to join in the future is to receive an invite from someone.

We are very excited to get back up and running and look forward to seeing you all at the movies soon.

Sincerely,

Stacy Spikes
Co-Founder/CEO

That is not tax avoidance, that is tax evasion (former is legal, latter is illegal). Pretty much all states with sales taxes require residents to pay "sales and use tax" on items purchased out of state that have been brought into the state for the amount of sales tax that would have been paid had it been purchased within the state.

https://floridarevenue.com/taxes/taxesfees/pages/sales_tax.a...

Florida used to allow online businesses not based in florida to forego collecting sales tax when shipping to florida (but it was always owed as use tax by the Florida resident recipient), but starting last year, businesses with more than $100k of online sales had to start collecting and remitting sales taxes also.

TypeScript has come a long way, but one of its biggest issues is the complete lack of FORCED sensible naming conventions.

Generics are the worst offender, with people often using a single letter to represent something that's both hard to keep track of and impossible to intuitively make sense of.

Any type should be: `TUser` and not `User`.

Any generic should be: `<GPerson>` and not `<P>`.

Any interface should simply not exist because it's TypeScript, not InterfaceScript. The addition of classes into JavaScript was unnecessary sugar and they should just do away with it. So, `type` for everything, no more `interface`.

But that's a whole different subject.

I've also noticed that people over-engineer TypeScript. I had a team mate telling me he wanted to make URLs type-safe. I asked: "But why?" and he had no answer. There was no problem preceding it. There wasn't anyone asking for it. It wouldn't solve something we didn't know. It would just make the codebase more confusing to deal with because, in his solution, there wasn't a single place where routes were defined. Nope, routes would be inferred from Pages and their use of Page props.

It was genius. But it also was over 2000 (two THOUSAND) lines of code that I didn't feel like I wanted to deal with.

I gave him permission to publish it and get the open-source community involved. Once it's tried & tested over the course of many users and lots of time, we could consider it.

He wasn't happy. He was also not very pragmatic. TypeScript seems to do that to people. The "never any `any`"-crowd is so tiresome.
I'd argue that this percentage is near-zero in high-demand places like NYC and the bay area. Rent is simply set at what the market will bear. For example, during the height of the pandemic, landlords had no choice, but to significantly lower their rents in NYC even if they had to do so at a loss.
> There is a large and growing number of people who support the idea of outlawing renting from anyone other than the government (public housing).

Yes I love the idea, the only thing that will be more efficient and effective than the mega corp, property management companies that cause most of the problems, due to size and bureaucracy will be the federal government. I love this idea, they are always a paragon of efficiency of virtue, they never succumb to politicians and bureaucrats selling out those they serve for political reasons, and of course who could object to the government having ownership of every non-occupied home in America, I see no problem with that. Especially giving the government the implicit right to then dictate all future housing that will be built.

I can see it now optimized for efficiency, compactness, and equality everyone lives in "the pod". Of course since you may move pods and it would be difficult to move your stuff you can't really have anything, but the American Housing Bureau would love to lease you everything you need for a much better price because they don't have to worry about "profit". It will be great we'll own nothing, we'll live in a pod, and of course at that point meat is going to be untenable so we can get protein from alternative sources like insects.

I can't wait for it, I'll live in a wonderful pod, I'll own absolutely nothing, I'll eat bugs and I am going to be so HAPPY!

Never been a "fan" of a personality, but I used to really like Tesla and SpaceX, but after hearing a little about how their critical software is...not developed like critical software...I am very wary of what kind of engineering is going over there.

Who cares about the google user space apps? There are viable open source alternatives for all of them. It's like saying Linux is not open source because Redhat bundles proprietary software with their distro.

Up to a point. As far as nukes go, the main reason for having one is as a deterrent to conventional attacks. Sure, you can try to starve people out, but sanctions regimes often run out of moral legitimacy before their targets do. And countries like Iran or North Korea that are near to or in possession of a nuclear capability are not going to cast it away. Gaddafi did that and look how poorly it turned out for him.
Couple points:

a. Do linux/windows just take it 240/4 address without special attention?

b. Fun time when 240/4 will be released to public in the future it's gonna be a huge headache for them.

"Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!"

They were losing hearts and minds in the Web dev space by waging war against open source. It makes far more sense to co-opt it, as per the Halloween-document strategy.

TBH I saw this coming 20 or so years ago, about the time when IBM started putting on its open-source cheerleader outfit. Open source is formless, shapeless, like water per Bruce Lee. You cannot oppose it with force, it will just get everywhere; but by aligning yourself with it you can direct it. That's what I saw IBM doing and I knew Microsoft would follow suit out of lack of choice. And now here we are.

An example of the syntax, from a version of Dijkstra's algorithm[0]:

The current node is a node that varies.
A node can be found, examined, or unreached.
A node has a number called the total distance.
Definition: a node is near if its total distance is 10 or less.
Following relates various nodes to one node (called the precedent).
The verb to follow (he follows, they follow, he followed, it is followed, he is following) implies the following relation.

It all goes through A&E, which unfortunately is meant for both the life threatening situations and urgent but not leathal ones yet. You have to go in, register and sit and wait - if it is "just" a broken leg yes you might wait a few hours before being seen.

The politicians you vote for can regulate those companies, that is how the system is intended to work. If those politicians takes bribes to not regulate those companies, then the problem is corrupt politicians taking bribes, you don't fix that by giving those politicians more power you fix it by voting them out and voting in politicians who does what you want.

> Guess who is corrupting government

How are they corrupting the government? Is the private sector deciding who gets power in the government somehow? Sounds like your democracy doesn't work then. Giving all the power to politicians when the democracy doesn't work just leads to the same scenario as in Soviet.

Bribing the government isn't "corrupting" them, a politician who accepts bribes or tit for tat deals is already corrupt.

We still use QALYS. The problem is you don’t get to choose how much a given level of health care costs, and I think 1% of GDP is woefully inadequate. You spend about 4% of GDP just on Medicare alone.

As a US tax payer you pay about as much for Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP as tax payers in most developed countries do on health care in total. But then to actually get health care yourself you have to pay about the same again fir private health insurance.

I get private health care here in the UK through my employer. I pay for the NHS through taxes, and that’s actually how I and my family get most of our health care in practice. The private cover is basically a top up. If I use it I can get treatment more quickly, but at no cost to the NHS.

I think this is the best of both worlds. As a nation we get health care comparable to the US at half the cost, it’s truly universal so millions of people don’t fall out of the system. So I fully support the NHS, as a beneficiary of private health care I still think I and my family have got excellent value for money from it throughout my life. Private health care expands health care capacity, and reduces demand in NHS services, so everyone benefits. It may not see, ideal, but in practice I think it works very well, and frankly it’s how well it works that actually matters.

Currently the NHS is in rough shape, but this is mostly down to the flat economy since the financial crisis and the pandemic. Spending levels at the peak of the boom in 2008 were unsustainable whoever was in power.
> That's because it is a deeply rooted culture/attitude of the people in India (or other developing countries): intellectual one-upmanship (i.e.: my "brain" is bigger than yours).

We have intellectual oneupmanship and hustle & grind culture in the United States as well too. And contrary to popular, it's not new, as Tocqueville and Weber had made note of it during their days.

Cause and effect are often hard to disentangle.

In this case I'm convinced that constantly rising housing values is the reason investors buy up housing, not the other way around.

Surely it makes sense that investors buy assets that continue to appreciate more than other investment types?

You answered your own question, learn how typing and generics work and you wouldn’t have had those issues.

The entire article persecuted TS because the author wanted to learn quicker with little effort. Writing TypeScript in a node, app or library makes no difference. It is a language, NOT a framework.
I didn’t get that vibe. I took away that the sum of all those interactions can culturally make some one who doesn’t drink feel alienated. To be mindful of that, and offer alternatives.
> Washington State is suing to block a natural gas pipeline to California, so California will burn filthy coal instead.

California's electric grid has problems, but burning coal isn't one of them. Coal represents 0.15% of electricity generation in the state and 3% of overall power consumption when accounting for power imports.

Also, coal isn't used for peaker plants, which is what California uses a lot of natural gas for. That service will be replaced by dispatchable storage and loads.
It's because they're acting as an emergency care home.

My local 450-bed DGH has over 150 medically fit patients waiting to be discharged into community care that isn't available.

And this happened secondary to central government funding being withdrawn from social care.

So hospitals like this one are actually running at 120% in summer. They do need "MOAR MOAR MOAR" but that more is a place to look after the patients that don't need to be in hospitals.

Actually they remain mired in poverty largely because the US keeps meddling in their affairs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...

So it's more like "they remain mired in poverty because of the United States' predilection for predatory capitalism."
That practically proves my point though.

Education is underfunded, and in California local property taxes aren't contributing much.

Thanks for posting this. Anyone commenting in this thread really needs to read the report as it paints the picture of their security hygiene. When I read things like 30% of all their endpoints have automatic updates disabled, and 40% reporting out of compliance, I'm picturing a real immature cowboy culture of arrogant developers that think they're above security policies, and no one at the helm to rope them into line. Sounds like they have no security culture, just policies. Security is something that begins with the individual.
One way or another using a word processor requires installing the software and an operating system…

But maybe I could have been more clear and said optional office work.
Because many spend so much time moral grandstanding and signaling their virtue they cannot conceive of anyone with a contrary opinion to them having any valid reason for disagreeing, and therefore the only reason for them doing what they are doing must be because they are morally deficient and evil.

This then gets reinforced by a media-industrial complex that is happy to continue to feed you points you agree with to get you to keep clicking.

Disclaimer: I am not saying I support the Republican party or that I agree with them, but that doesn't change that tons of people cannot possibly conceive of someone having a different viewpoint than them being anything other than morally deficient.
Sounds like those points are all ripe opportunities for startups of their own no? Just a matter of identifying market gaps, I'm sure that's why US companies have hired so many Indians, just simple filling of needs and not some other mechanic as to way the world works.
> Yikes. This is how you end up in preprocessor hell. Macros are generally not a good thing.

Not suggesting macros, rather an alternative way to define types.
A function that accepts and returns types. Seeing as typescript has a JavaScript interpreter I thought it might be feasible but I'm just spitballing it.

> Eh. It's not like Java has a "type debugger." Why is this needed? Why are your types so complex? Weird ask.

I don't buy this argument.
Writing any type of complex types with recursion, arrays or ternaries sucks and it will take more than "this is how Java does it" to convince me otherwise. I like to debug with a debugger, not my head.

Take a look at the examples in the article to see some complex types and read some tweets from library authors complaining on twitter. I can find some examples if you're interested.

"FWIW, I've never actually heard anyone complain about state taxes in California or consider moving because of them."

Allow me to be the first - with both a philosophical and a practical critique.

First, philosophical: The highest marginal tax rate in California is 13.3% which, combined with the maximum marginal federal rate of 37%, crosses an anchor point, or threshold, that I mentally hold of greater than half.

You see, I consider tax rates to be largely arbitrary - I cannot affix any particular value judgement on, say, 18% vs 22% vs 27% tax rates. They seem equally reasonable, on principle ... they seem arbitrary to me ...

... until they are greater than half.[1] This is my personal feeling.

Second, a practical critique: I have no problem with high tax rates - provided I get high value for my taxpayer dollar. If the trains all run on time and the power is on and everything looks like Zurich (the Canton) then please, do indeed, subject me to high tax rates. Conversely, if things look like California circa 2022 I'd be reasonable content with (some lower, obviously arbitrary) tax rate.

As it stands, we get the worst of both worlds: relatively high (globally!) tax rates, no trains at all (never mind being on time) and spotty electricity ... among other things.

[1] Cue the misunderstood, misinterpreted retelling of sky-high marginal tax rates from the end of world war 2. These were war profiteering policies and had nothing to do with policies of progressive taxation as we think of them. It is incorrect, for instance, to compare the 95% excess profits tax of 1943 with tax rates in our modern era: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_profits_tax
If debt doesn't matter, then why do any of us pay any tax? We can just replace all taxes with more debt.

Well, IPv6 has 128 bits, so 3,4 x 10^38 adresses. Surface area of the Earth: 5,1 x 10^14 m2. Maybe adressing grass blades could be possible with IPv6.
Once you make any change, even just "add another octet", you're into the chicken and egg problem IPv6 faced until recent years forced the hands of some ISPs. Given that IPv6 now has something like 20% adoption, there's little point starting over with something people view as simpler because of smaller changes to the written representation of addresses.
