PPP loans had conditions from the very beginning for both acceptance and forgiveness. Additionally, they were a bribe to businesses to not have the government overthrown for the government actions that were going to make almost every business bankrupt. Neither is true for student loans. The "HA! GOTCHA!" talking point of so-and-so took a PPP loan and had it forgiven ignores both of these realities. They were designed from day one to be forgiven and to keep businesses from simply closing down and ending the economy, food distribution, and almost every other part of modern society.

In order to have an email with my own domain I need to own (rent technically) a domain.

Registering a domain requires an existing email. Which is obviously going to be from a third party / consumer email provider whose domain I don’t have control over.

> Ads seeking backend software engineers were up 337% in the first half of 2022, compared to the same period the previous year.

I've predicted in the past that as the economy tightens up, front end roles will be seen as luxuries, with more emphasis on the backend.

Of course the list in the article that breaks things down by technology does list a few front-end related techs, like Typescript, CSS, and "Full stack". CSS is used even in static HTML sites and Typescript is a move away from the free and loose world of JS, with more regimented code (and can be used on the server). "Full stack" is always a loaded term: among developers it seems to imply front-end heavy with just enough backend to get by, whereas for hirers I think it implies very strong skills on the backend.

This makes very little sense. Kind of ironic that there is a sarcastic complaint against ageism when this seem to be quite ageist itself.

Are you saying we should strip old people of political power? Bring back death panels?

Looks like quite a diligence; I wrote an Oberon to C++ transpiler some years ago; here is a C++ version of the Oberon system: https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem/tree/master/CP.... My Oberon+ compiler generates CIL bytecode and C99 source code. Here is a version of the Oberon system which runs on .NET (cross-platform, without emulator): http://software.rochus-keller.ch/OberonSystem_SDL_CLI_Assemb.... And here is the corresponding C99 version: http://software.rochus-keller.ch/OberonSystem_ObxIDE_Cgen_20.... Both are directly generated from the sources in https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem/tree/FFI, using SDL2 for platform independence.
Mmm, not really - that’s more “an eye for an eye” stuff.

This is just calling out the kind of hypocrisy of people like MTG who got $183K of PPP loans forgiven but rails against students
There is- hundreds of people who immediately vote it up before even reading it.
Fair, I don't know what it's actually doing. I just know you can't equate it with anything a human does, and the use of the word "learn" is misleading, or vastly oversimplifies what is happening, to the point that it allows for false analogies.

That said, my main objection to this technology is that:

- The AI's work is based on human artists' work

- Companies are then profiting off of the AI's work

- The companies are indirectly?/directly? profiting off of artists' work

- The companies do not get artists consent or compensate them in any way

- The companies are essentially stealing from artists

Companies should be forced to obtain the creator's consent when using art to train their models.
I don’t think there are many (if any) who understand Ethereum who aren’t concerned around a large percentage of validators running in 3rd party clouds.

On the bright side, if AWS has a large outage or simply shut down any nodes running validators, all of the validator operators would need to set up somewhere else quickly to avoid large inactivity leaks (which grow in relation to the number of offline nodes). The worst outcome would be that people would move from AWS to Azure and simply move the problem elsewhere, but ideally it will solve itself as validators get penalized more for supporting centralization of certain aspects of the protocol.

The protocol has a built-in mechanic to dissuade centralization that hasn’t had an impact yet since there hasn’t been a large-scale outage affecting a single host. Once that happens, people will get a bit more cautious.
They would have to offer the core for free to the SOC designers.
If the idea is to get people to come and buy things in your shop while their car charges then 50kw is far too fast a charge.
Regardless of the morality, SCOTUS will strike this down if and only if a litigant with standing files suit.

The speaker of the house herself affirmed recently that the president does not have the constitutional power to do this, and the court will likely agree. The president is using 9/11 educational legislation signed by Bush that focused on military and disaster victims for this blanket debt cancelation. It is a dramatic expansion of power that was never intended.

However, the court cannot consider the question unless someone can show actual harm by the president's action, and thus prove standing.

That standing may be denied in the trial court, but after a raft of appeals, SCOTUS may grant standing and remand. Then the trial begins, and we will have another set of appeals before us (and perhaps an injunction) when the trial concludes.

It will be a long and bitter road, strewn with disappointment, either way.

With irreversible transactions, no matter what humans do or say, a mistake can't be undone.

With reversible transactions, human judgement enters into it. Human judgement is imperfect and corruptible, but it's better than rigid rules that can't be changed even in emergencies or other unusual situations that their makers didn't foresee (or just didn't care about).
It’s all over the map.

Sometimes you’ll just be a pair of hands and left alone to deliver your your piece.

Sometimes you’ll basically be a “disguised employee” with all of the same politics and team dynamics.

Sometimes you’ll be bought in as the experienced pair of hands to fix a problem and need to get deep into the team dynamics.

Generally, contractors are a little more lonesome than permanent employees, but it’s dependent on the project.
That's crazy if true, didn't they get in trouble for doing something similar with their Amazon Basics brand?
> More money available to debtors means more money to pay for rent, cocktails and avocado toast. So this could drive inflation. It won’t necessarily drive inflation but increasing disposable income of young people without much savings will likely increase their spending and the overall price levels.

Seems like this is the stuff that the economy is built on. The inclusion of "avocado toast" makes me think I know exactly where this guy stands on basically every political issue without looking any deeper into him, though.

> Or it could inflate asset prices as we’ve seen with the $12 trillion from Covid relief.

I'm not an economist (thank God), but there's no way that's what happened here. Asset prices increased due to restricted supply. There's no way that lumber prices tripled in mid 2020 due to "covid relief funds".

Besides, a ton of people were suddenly able to work from home and couldn't go out for fun. That meant saving huge amounts on gas and wear and tear on vehicles (or public transportation) and no more fun nights out to spend money on.
> There is a widespread belief that Advertising serves no purpose to humanity.

It's worse than that. Advertising persuades people to buy ever more stuff they don't need, thereby causing enormous damage to the planet. Advertising is among the top of things we should ban to reduce climate change.

There were a lot of major delays during the pandemic. Otherwise, you can get a new passport very quickly but you might want to pay a visa/passport service to handle it for you--although I'm not sure they add a lot of value these days.

Just to make sure: what is your definition of "a federalized society"?

Also, what would you suggest in its stead?
> Cancelling student debt is a lot cheaper than the F-35 program

What math are you using? From wiki: "F-35 program's expected acquisition costs to $406.5 billion, with total lifetime cost (i.e., to 2070) to $1.5 trillion in then-year dollars which also includes operations and maintenance" [0] whereas there is currently $1.75 trillion student loan debt [1].

1.5 trillion in 2070 dollars is less than 1.75 trillion in 2022 dollars and the latter doesn't include the next 50 years of higher education funding.

> But, I think $10k or $20k is not enough. I think they should have looked at how much the cost of college has increased over the past 2+ decades and forgiven that percentage from every student loan.

Your assumption is they were trying to fix a problem with tuition costs. They aren't. Fix the root problem to stop the bleeding and then treat the existing injuries.

They are produced in the UK. There's something like a £10 fee for the delivery abroad, and it's sent with a typical fast service like FedEx.
Try and contribute to open source projects if possible. There are a ton of good ones out there, pick one that interests you. I am trying to do the same.
I had an opportunity to go to college, and decided to do my own thing. This cancelling of student loan debt plan, although I understand the plight of young people in debt, it is also infuriating.

Myself: Was in college, left, did my own thing, becoming successful, now am paying taxes for everyone else who is getting bailed out. I already have state income tax to pay as well, and with housing prices and inflation being insane, saving for a down payment is miserable enough!

Everyone else in college: Often didn't know what they were doing, get free money that myself and others are paying for. Most people in my college weren't there for STEM.

Anyone who paid off their debt within the last few years: Screw you. Didn't matter if you were eating ramen to pay off that $10K for a few years, we just took care of it!

Future generations: Where is my bailout? They were so lucky a few years ago!

Colleges: Let's raise prices to get another bailout! In fact, let's repeat the cycle, feed the fire, and hope the government just starts handing out free universal college money every year! Then, we'll just adjust prices higher to compensate, the real college price will be basically the same, but our margins will be bigger!

It's bonkers. I don't like the debt, but this is a terrible plan. Why not (for example), just declare no federal income tax on a single cent of earned income for people making under $100K a year who have student loans and pay promptly? Or, let's say the degree I took has not been working out and I'm not getting jobs, maybe after a certain point I can declare bankruptcy on that debt. There are plenty of other methods to help.

That's perhaps my biggest problem with the bailout proposal. It targets the symptoms, not the cause, which makes it a de-facto Band-Aid on cancer.
Cows feed on plants, plants got their carbon from the atmosphere. So all the carbon they emit, technically, got caught in previously. The implication is that cows themselves are carbon neutral, their damage comes from the extra greenhouse effect the carbon has while its methane.

Yep, even from here in Finland regular UPS/DHL express services are normally 1 or 2 days to US (e.g. UPS Express Saver is 1 day to ~NY and 2 days elsewhere).

Though even postal items can arrive in a week as well, with luck.
You don't need to purchase the upgraded version to bypass cell capacity limits. The RV and roaming plans can work as well. Sharing this so others aren't misled by inaccurate information.
Doesn't this presume that we would continue to grow the same amount of feed and then allow it to decompose?

Whereas a reduction in meat consumption would mean a reduction in total global land use for agriculture, allowing that land to be rewilded. Trapping carbon over a longer term and potentially providing numerous environmental benefits.
Wall Stree Journal? no thanks. If you refuse to accept climate change then your opinions on EVs can't be trusted.

Doesn't Tesla have all this built in, and automatically tell you which charger to stop at based on optimal charge time (20% - 80%) and current usage of the chargers?

There's third party apps that do it for other EVs but I thought Tesla had this all tied up in a neat package?
> and the outrageous 800 billions for “defense”. Cancelling student debt is a lot cheaper than the F-35 program

I think you are greatly underestimating or at least greatly under-appreciating the role of USA defense on the world stage. Why do you think EU and other USA allies can get away with spending so little on defense? They are basically outsourcing defense and weapons development to us. F-35 development went way over budget, but actually making one now is relatively cheap and will continue to get cheaper - cheap enough that an ally like Israel could purchase a dozen as a part of their smaller defense budget in the coming decades like they currently do with F-16s. Why is the global shipping industry so much lower risk that it was in decades past? The US Navy protecting shipping lanes is largely to thank.

I'm sure US DoD is worthy of many of its criticisms, including high budget, but it irks me to see the baby so eagerly thrown out with the bathwater at every opportunity.

That's an unrealistic expectation of this phone. If you want thinks to just work you shouldn't buy a PinePhone and they make that really clear on their website.

The sale page of the PinePhone says this in red letters[0]:
"Beta Limited Edition PinePhones are aimed solely at early adopters. More specifically, only intend for these units to find their way into the hands of users with extensive Linux experience."

And their wiki has this to say[1]:

"Bear in mind that the software for these smartphones is very early, with most of the software being in alpha or beta state. That's especially also the case for scalability of applications, their availability and practicability, any hardware function implementations and the firmware. The software is provided as is. There is no warranty for the software, not even for merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose."

Anytime the government spends money on anything it prints money to do so. This is how governments work.

In the US when the government spends on things money it comes from taxes or is borrowed. The Treasury doesn't print money.

Printing money is done by the Federal Reserve, but it is not done to finance general expenditures (bonds are different).
Ah yes, suppressing the use of life-saving technology. Capitalism is going great.
On the other hand, because of AC the American south also doesn’t have swaths of people dropping dead when the daily temperatures rise above 80F. And considering that’s a daily part of living in the US south for roughly 6 months of the year, that’s probably a good thing.
The complaint seems to be that things like raspberry pies are cheap while nutritious food is expensive. The market optimizes for that consumers want without accounting for invisible costs like poor health outcomes from routinely eating calorie-dense nutrient-sparse food. Likewise affordability of healthcare is not optimized for in the US; the incentives in that market drive it towards high but subsidized prices. Someone who is well-employed benefits from health insurance that make prices reasonable-ish, but anyone not subsidized by their employer or government is effectively left out of the market.
This is not a state of affairs where a free market will sort things out. In the food case, the prerequisite of rational agents in the marketplace is not met; people are bad at making good long-term health decisions and will vote with their dollars against their best interests.
In the healthcare case the real transaction is not happening between the consumer and healthcare provider, but between the provider and employers or governments and no party has incentives to change this (except maybe the government following the will of the people). This relationship provides employers a way to attract and retain talent and makes a lot of money for providers.

Between this and open access to federally funded research it seems like we may be in for a slew of common sense executive orders ahead of the midterms. Some minor bug fixes for the federal government, if you will.
I'd be interested to see some non-text super-IDE integrated programming languages. Maybe even hosted in the webbroswer. I think that's interesting territory that can unlock a lot of value.

Ask HN: Should greater good ever override copyright with large language models?
A hypothetical. A thought experiment.

Imagine a scenario not too different from what's happening today. An entity of some sort is able to train super large scale models on language and code. The inputs are all our code on github and elsewhere, as well as all our writing on the internet. The difference from today, is that these models would be released to the public for all definitions of free. Maybe there are even advances which allow these models to efficiently run on consumer grade hardware. No commercial or governmental entity can reserve the models for private gain.

There are currently lots of concerns around the copyright and licensing of the input data for training these models. Should we consider dropping copyright/licensing claims in order for society to leverage some kind of greater good these models might invoke? Would you be willing to do so as an individual? Should societies do so as a whole?
