OP is obviously promoting his software, so extra points for making a great post which is genuinely value add, but which also breadcrumbs back to what looks like a pretty cool product ;-)

Onto the advice though, commenting on other people's posts on LinkedIn is a great way to non-intrusively connect with prospects. The poster wants visibility, commentary is expected and encouraged, and so long what you say is on topic and not overly direct to the point, it's got a great chance of landing well.

yeah, that's, colloquially, fed-speak for "don't make me turn this car around, I'll do it, so help me god".

What he's saying there is they're willing to crank interest rates even if it slows the economy down and pushes unemployment sky-high. The Fed's dual mandates are price stability and full employment and they've just signaled which horse they're gonna back.

This is the first time in living memory that we've seen a market where labor is valuable and has the upper hand in negotiations and the wealthy absolutely will not abide that.

Most of the problem is still pandemic-related supply shocks and supply chain bubbles, plus energy going nuts from the russia thing. It truly is transitory and not based on changes to long-term market fundamentals. But the needle was starting to move up on worker compensation/etc and they gotta put a stop to that, can't let the plebs get a taste for financial stability.

I mean convergent evolution lead to different species with very different DNA looking similar.

And evolution doesn't choose what to do, stuff (mutations etc.) "just happen randomly" and some things propagate more then others.

So for me two unrelated people with rather different DNA happen to look extremely similar seems to be quite reasonable.

Through some unrelated people having rather similar DNA is as reasonable.

Inflation can exist without the printing of money so I'm not sure it qualifies as the root. Supply and demand seems more likely to be the root, which can be affected by the printing of money and by other things such as supply chain constraints.
Not when the alternate lander options don’t even have enough performance to land and take off the moon if the astronauts mass is included.

The lower payload requirements mean Starship HLS requires fewer fuel replenishment launches, so an apples to apples comparison makes Starship slightly less risky, especially as the other landers rely on launchers far less developed than Starship.
CSS suffers from the lack of composability and organizational features found in modern high level programming languages. If your excited about modern css features like "is" or "has", then you agree it needs more functions to keep up with customer demand.

I wrote a bit about this problem from the perspective of a clojure and clojurescript developer on my blog. https://drewverlee.github.io/posts-output/2021-8-26-css-opti...

The reason, clojure and clojurescript is relevant is those programming languages can easily compile to css, allowing users to easily add pl features that don't exist in css and not force devs to learn the same concepts twice. It can do this becuase as a lisp, turning clojure native hashmaps into classes (or attributes if you prefer) is like pouring water into a container. We numerous libs to do this in the clojure ecosystem, here is a reddit discussion around the newest one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/w56tg8/shadowcss_c...

Though i would personally opt for the slower page perf and faster dev performance of just using cljs compiled to inline-styles solution, as i suggest in my blog.

Of course there might be performance benefits to coding at the lower css level directly, but on average that's not a good tradeoff for most teams i have worked on. s

It might be helpful to frame any cloud-based scanning of user activity or files as akin to mass-testing in health. While it sounds good in principle, there is always a background rate of false positives. And being incorrectly diagnosed can have negative consequences. There has been a large amount of examination of the consequences of mass-testing for various diseases without indication.

Here's a good example of the snobbery associated with this book. Implying it was "difficult" like it was over my head. It wasn't difficult, it was tedious, boring and meandering.
We hear this a ton from our friends at big companies, but... surely most of them use Linux? Or Git? Or x264, OpenJDK, GIMP, or VLC? Or (if you include LGPL) the WebCore portions of Chrome/Safari/Edge, which originated in KHTML/Konqueror? Or GTK, Cairo, ffmpeg, or WINE?

It's a little hard to believe the "GPL" is that much of a problem to the industry given how popular *GPL software remains in most places.

GPLv3 I realize is a different story, but even then, the companies seem to find a way to hold their nose when they want to. (When we first released Mosh as GPL 3+, we got a call from Apple, who were unhappy that their employees were using Mosh to connect to servers because Apple apparently doesn't want employees to be installing any GPL v3 software on their company-owned Macs. On the phone call, I told them that (a) I didn't think they had anything to worry about in terms of actual problems from the GPLv3, and (b) if they really disagreed, we're open to the conversation, but it would cost them a lot of money for me to want to think about what it would take to give them Mosh under a different license. Somehow they ended up concluding that the GPLv3 wasn't that bad after all...)

I'm not a music theory expert, just a guy who has played guitar by ear for 28 years.

Equal temperament is definitely a compromise .. I find myself constantly trying to "sweeten" the tuning of my guitar strings relative to the song/key I am playing.

You can tune your guitar with the most accurate guitar tuner in the world (I have strobe tuners by Sonic Research and Peterson), and some things still just sound out of tune.
I would argue that it is often relevant for the technical employees to have an idea about how business is going: who wants the product, how they (intend to) use it, and also who discussed a partnership and eventually did not go with the product.

As you said, not everyone can be into business. Which also means that not everyone can be technical. Who says that the business people are good at translating requirements from potential clients to technical employees? Isn't it likely that the technical people know more about what is technically possible?

If you share too much with your employees, what's the worse case? They leave with that data? So what? If the whole value of the startup is that the founder knows a bunch of business numbers, anyway it doesn't sound very promising.

However, if you don't share enough, maybe you miss very good solutions that they would come up with if they had access to all the data. Worse: if your interpretation of what the customers want and what is technically possible is slightly wrong, maybe you will send your whole startup in the wrong direction. All that just because you thought you knew what your technical people needed to make a good product.

Sure, and doing so commercially and without attribution, especially when the code is not CC licensed, can be problematic. SO code is implicitly CC (and furthermore, contributed under the expectation that it will be used by anyone) so it’s not problematic to copy-pasta that code IMO. But copying blocks of code from a GPL-3 project would be, for example.

To be clear I don’t think learning from (but not cloning) a GPL project is problematic. That is just what normal students do.

> 3: Governments will rather use tricks to lower inflation. Change the definition.

That is an unsophisticated view. Lowering inflation by 'changing the definition' is like trying to lose weight by switching from pounds to kilos. The measurement is not the thing being measured. Do politicians play around with highlighting different measures? Of course they do - but that is a (ineffective) solution to a political problem not an economic one.
And it's Ginni index will go up post merge, which is already worse than most countries.
The fed is going to try to put the economy into a recession by jacking up rates in the hopes that it eviscerates demand which will (maybe, but I don't think so) bring inflation down by balancing supply and demand. Fun times.
Up until Covid we had low and stable inflation dating back to the 80s. It was not going "up and up" except to the extent that we consider moderate inflation to be desirable.
Why though? Scale in and of itself isn't a bad thing just because we can't do it with our puny human minds. I'm open to the argument but I don't see it.
It doesn't look like supply issues will sort themselves out though.

Many of the current shortages (industrial plant failures, food shortages) are due to climate issues. Putin isn't helping, but even without the Russia sanctions, we'd still be facing all sorts of shortages (PVC, microchips, olive/sunflower oil, wheat, mustard, water shortages blocking the Panama Canal, etc, etc).

The root cause of all that is climate change, which is worsening linearly with time, which means the backlogged impact on the economy is increasing quadratically.
> I'm surprised people care about the syntax... that's pretty much the least important part of the language.

Eh, I don't think I can agree. There are definitely more important things about a language than syntax, but a language with a great syntax can be a lot more enjoyable to use, particularly when reading a lot of code. Prior to learning Ruby I would have agreed with you, but since Ruby and Elixir, the syntax adds much to my enjoyment of working with the language. When I think of ES7 v. ES5 I feel the same way as well. You can do everything in ES5, but in ES7 the syntactical sugar makes it so much more enjoyable.

1) Humans learn from existing art, but they mainly draw on their experience and perception of the physical world when creating new art. AI doesn't have access to the real world, so it's art is 100% based on existing work, not just inspired by it.

2) We still don't know exactly how much the models memorise. I'm sure you'll agree that something like Google image search retrieval doesn't qualify as original art, and copyright is still an issue. If you photoshop two images together, you probably also still have to give credit to the original images. We have to draw the line somewhere on the scale from "100% derivative to 100% original". It's not yet clear where AI image generation falls on this.

I've seen some epic flame wars over the peanut restrictions in schools. They tend to catch my eye since one of my kids has a peanut allergy. People assume that these rules are created by pearl clutching "concerned parents".

I've never seen parents advocate for peanut bans in real life. It has probably happened but it seems like the "preachy vegan", more of a myth than a reality.

I suspect the real reason many schools have put restrictions in place on peanuts is that it simply makes their job easier. When you have to deal with hundreds of unruly kids it's hard to keep an eye on individuals. Sending kids to the ER is a bad look. Dealing with insurance stuff or lawsuits is a pain. Eliminating a source of headaches and shoving the inconvenience onto the parents is a no-brainer.

> Whether the increased monetary supply is spent on "good" or "bad" things is up to more general policy choices made in other parts of the government.

If we want to "make money" and "increase GDP" - lowering interest rates does appear to do that.

But there's no reason you can't "make money" and "increase GDP" and also actually lower productivity and living standards.

Imagine an economy where 90% of the economy is people buying land from each other on debt.

If suddenly the price of money drops 50%, and people can afford to pay 50% more for land (and do) - all things being equal - GDP increases by 50% * 90% = 45%.

If everyone realizes how much money they can make doing this instead of whatever the other 10% of the economy is - say actually working the land to farm apples - then real productivity can drop 100% to 0 - and you still "increase GDP" and people still "make money".

At the same time - maybe everyone dies of starvation shortly thereafter?

I'm not arguing this is actually happening - especially to this degree - but it is easy to see that it is at least possible*.
Which I think makes the argument that the Fed might not be the right entity to fight this. Powell literally says in this speech that the Fed needs to weaken labor market conditions (4th paragraph) to strengthen labor market conditions (3rd paragraph). But if the goal is strong labor market conditions and he already notes "the labor market is particularly strong", what are we all doing here? Congress should probably be the one tasked with addressing supply side issues instead of the Fed because the demand side issues aren't actually a problem that needs solving.
Other than someone buying it for the prestige, I doubt that HN is worth much in itself. Other than email addresses, there is no data of value to mine that I can think of.

The only way to make money without digging the site's grave is to give a boost to posts advertising something. It has to be done infrequently and in a very subtle way so the users don't notice, and they will have a hard time finding advertisers without people finding out that they do it.

So yeah, I don't think its really worth it.
> I suspect that our largest improvement would come from investment in transportation infrastructure for goods -- all of that is super choked right now and it affects everything.

Just an FYI, any remaining supply chain issues are not really transportation related at this point. We ship several containers a month from Asia to the ports of LA/Long Beach and we haven't seen delays on either side of the Pacific in a while at this point. The other major issue we faced in 2021 was getting containers out of the port complex and on a truck to their final destination. Those delays have also been resolved at this point.

We're also seeing transportation prices come down. Trucking is still expensive because of fuel costs, but ocean rates are way, way down. The most we paid for a container from Vietnam to LA/LB last year was $22,000. Right now we're getting quotes for $4,600.
