This is all by design.

You seem to misunderstand and think those people that promoted those things are already dead. They aren't. Its why they continue pushing for the bailouts. They've held onto power, and the cohort is starting to crumble.

You can't fire anyone in government, its a longstanding structural issue with why it underperforms in just about every way.
Depends on the locality, but as far as I know, most cities in the US have a "transfer tax" that is some percentage of the home sale price. It varies quite a bit in different cities and can also be 'progressive' in some cities, where more expensive properties have a higher tax rate.
> The biggest failure in this architecture was sharing sql queries as opposed to sharing service calls

noob question but what do “sharing queries” and “sharing service calls” mean?
Existing customers will flee as quickly as they can, and new customers will look elsewhere. In reality, they'll never charge more than their public rate card, and that rate card has to be competitive with the competition.

Always neat to have lost sources show up eventually. Librarians rule.
Amazon’s Kindle Scribe is an E Ink tablet for reading and writing
The <100% pay differential between California and somewhere in the Midwest does not explain the >500% difference in housing prices. You are leaving out numerous factors including demand, supply, and local regulations.

Alright, you dismiss my first three examples. Care to explain the fourth example I provided?
In addition to the advertisers, there can also be an outflow of users. Most users don't actually like unmoderated forums: they rapidly fill with the most unpleasant and obnoxious voices. Users fleeing will also reduce the rates that advertisers are willing to pay.

Especially if "disable moderation" also means turning off spam filters -- and I'm certain that spammers will try to use this ruling to force that.
The question is wether you really need to be literate. As a software developer I cannot write correct assembler code ( with aligning rules, red zone and what not), but at least I can read it. I would guess most programmers cannot do even that. But do they really need it? Isn’t that the advance?
Serious vulnerabilities in Matrix’s end-to-end encryption are being patched
Which brings us full circle to the whole question of government and local government in particular; Californians in general and certainly Santa Crucians would be directly opposed to Texas voting to redevelop Santa Cruz into a highrise metropolis - so who has the say and who gets to make that decision? Obviously the people who want to live there don't live there, but should it be a county decision? State? Federal? World?

Even many of the people who are rabidly pro-transit will be at least mildly against "transit right through my bedroom"; most people don't like being eminently domained.

This usually results in the solution being "motion" of some sort; a city that is run down or out of the limelight begins to modernize and upgrade, and it becomes the new center, and the towns that don't chance ossify and eventually die off.

It may be that the "California problem" is solved because everyone eventually moves away.
Don't hold back.
My wife and I have been waiting for this for a few years now. We live in a college town in the South and the prices here are fairly delusional. I imagine this will allow for some market correction and we’ll be able to get into a bigger home.
Yes, exactly this.

At what point do you have the time/money/confidence to invest goodness knows how much in a data centre with space to grow, to purchase an enormous amount of capital to have it all installed etc. the building alone could eat that first years saving easily.

How many people are now needed to fault-find bad hardware/software/networks, to be on call for any problems? How many calls out to the Electrician to fix some power issue?

How much to setup and run a large air-con system for the data centre. Maybe not much in the US where aircon is common but much more expensive in Europe.

The fact they could afford to do this over such a short time period speaks to having a decent amount of cash on-hand.
It's weird, right? Like... who is paying these crazy prices?
A few states/regions have this, for instance Pennsylvania I believe has a 2% transfer tax. Overall it is not common.

Edit: Based on [0] more common than I thought, though there is a really wide range in values with some of the rates quite small, e.g. 0.1%, even 0.01% in CO. This reference is 25 years old though.

Why should we look at a period 20 years in the past for predictions about the future? 20 years ago Facebook didn't exist nor did the iPhone. For the last 10 years rates have been below 6%. It seems a strech to call a decade "recent."
Yep! I find that many of them can be played with children by just ignoring the scoring; the process of building and expanding is fun enough. At some point, they will naturally start to notice that their line is longer than their brother's, and then you can introduce scoring.
DEX was and still is a thing. There newer were plans to remove it. The only thing that was abandoned was the full Ubuntu VM support. But majority of that capability can be replicated with termux
While it's not at all surprising, it was a fun read. Having used Elance/Upwork in the past, I was pretty sure quite a lot of off-shore (Indian, Eastern European) companies do a similar scheme. At least some of them definitely pretend to be a single developer and/or let one developer with better skills (communication and programming-wise) do the interview and then throw cheaper "resources" at the actual project.

The surprising part was that Maris/PND seems to have a pretty good command of English himself, so he could have easily done this without involving other people and thus mostly avoid being caught. Though maybe he runs a larger operation and he simply needs more people to do this.
I don’t get the struggle with types people have. It’s not hard to use a knife instead of a hammer to cut stuff. What’s the struggle with types, specifically?

After watching what happened in 2008, I swore never to get an adjustable rate mortgage. Now I'm quite happy with my 2.99% 30 year.
As with most things in the US, it depends on where you live. I’ve paid anywhere from a flat rate of a couple hundred bucks to 2%. It’s generally called a real estate transfer tax. Note: this is different than points, general property tax, agent fees, etc.

> PowerBall winner start with no nothing, it's the same thing.

Check how many of those remain rich and you will discover some insights compared to people who make fortune from their own work.

> Absolutely not, the Pension funds will install new CEOs which are MBAs who'd be happy with...

Idk the full story, but putting new CEOs happy with money that most of us cannot get, I do not see the problem. As for how it works, this is how a business works, not how all business work.

> It's a free meal

No, it is not. To reach there you must work for it first unless you were born rich. And if you were born rich, in a couple generations you can leave things bankrupt. Most of the capital generated comes and goes and there is a lot of evidence of this.

> If millionaires and non-billionaire rich people are even half as smart as you say

It is not being smart only. It is a set of habits. The temporal choice , for example, which is sacrificing immediate pleasure for hard work to have a bigger reward in the future is one of the traits that helps. And you do not need to be extremely smart, sometimes it is work attitudes, or how you keep your wealth and reinvest it. I cannot blame people for managing well their resources. In any case I would blame people who cheat to accumulate them.

> Extreme luck has always been punished

Idk whether it has been, but what I am sure of is that I am not willing to punish lucky people or stealing people who make their own wealth in fair ways. The equivalent for me would be cutting a leg to the fast one or smashing the face of a good-looking person. It just makes no sense to me.
Exactly. And they pretty much have to make a deal because if they don’t it’s mutually assured destruction.

There’s so seller like TSMC and no buyer like Apple.
Like most things in the US, it varies wildly by location. In Seattle, there's a 0.50% real estate excise tax that the seller pays (theoretically it doesn't matter if the seller or buyer pays it, but practically speaking it's better for the seller to pay since they're the ones with cash in hand.) I'm fairly certain that WA can't have graduated rates because our state constitution prohibits anything but a flat rate for nearly all taxes.

The list of all of the rates for WA: https://dor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2022-05/84%200013_Jul...
This was my feeling. I use bitwarden now, because I can run it myself if I want to (honestly I trust them to secure things more than me, as my copy would be mixed in with a bunch of other services on the same machine).

I think for some people it's probably pretty great, or for storing not-website-passwords it's probably also good, though there are probably simpler to manage tools for "terminal/server" use like `pass`.
Thank you for bringing up the engineering cost. People always look at this as just AWS > Bare metal or whatever, but there's so much more to it than that.

If they saved $800k per year, and they have to hire four additional ops engineers to run it at a cost of $400k per year, then they actually saved $400k. Which is still substantial and, all else being equal, sounds worthwhile.

If they saved $800k per year, and they have to hire ten additional ops engineers to run it at a cost of $1 million per year, then they've actually gone and burned $200k on something that provides no additional value to the business or their customers.
That number would actually be the opportunity cost of developer time.
Damn!, this is much better than I expected it to be.

It actually provides interesting answers, I was expecting it to just go in circles from my previous experience with AI chatbots.

Elasticity is a gamble. You're betting that you can save more money investing in an elastic/on demand stack than what you'd pay for static resources. Judging by how much the cloud providers push this, the unknown cost to create/maintain auto scaling infra/apps, and how intricate the pricing gets with elastic resources/spots/faas, I still think the cloud providers are coming out ahead vs folks using static compute.

From what I saw, the dollar was significantly gaining on the pound. It could potentially slow down the pound in the interim. It will most definitely increase inflation further at a time of stagflation.

They probably justified that they had to do it because once you get into a deflationary cycle it feeds on itself. There have already been a number of policy mistakes worldwide (ECB did the same thing early on). This is just a drop in the bucket.

In practice, the set of historical philisophical works considered vital doesn't grow quickly, and tends to gradually discard works even as it gradually picks up others.

Part of the trouble with this paper is that it acts like the only qualities that keep works in the common set that most or all philosophers will study, is that they're old and that they're influential. As if the set is not heavily narrowed by other criteria, including quality of the writing and arguments, and that they've been widely observed to be improving to study over hundreds of years. Works that are simply wrong and have no other redeeming qualities tend to be discarded except by specialists deep-diving into a niche, even if they were very influential. I don't think most philosophers read much more than excerpts of a handful of famous arguments or passages from the whole centuries-long scholastic movement, for instance, unless they're very specifically Christian religious philosophers or apologists. Or the Neo-platonists, et c., et c. The ones that stick around do so because they are repeatedly, generation after generation, found to be useful, having endured through the aforementioned narrowing process while dozens or hundreds of once-vital works have fallen into obscurity.

I suppose it at least narrows the points of disagreement? So that, e.g., economists will agree on a _lot_ of stuff, even though their points of contention are so magnified that it appears they agree on nothing?

The HN example is interesting. The one topic that comes up consistently on HN that I feel like I have expert-level knowledge of (bitcoin) reveals mostly tribalism / religion couched as rational discussion. It was the most visceral illustration for me of that construct (can't remember the term) about how you read about some topic in the newspaper where you have expertise and say to yourself: this is such crap, they've missed all the nuance. And then you go on to other parts of the newspaper and believe it un-critically.
> I have no idea who is buying houses at these prices

Only the most richest parts of the US have homes that start at $1m. And only a fraction of the people rich enough to live there can afford to purchase.
to be fair these are usually 30 year loans that we're talking about.
Syncthing (and probably other sync utilities) allow versioning and keeping deleted files in separate directory.
I forgot to mention, it's even worse! There is still a perfectly usable, unused button available to be a play/pause button! There are two knobs, each press-able. The one on the right does nothing when you press it. It SHOULD be the physical play/pause button and I have no idea why it's not.
You can save even more if your app uses richer formats than images.

Microservices are usually a solution to an org. level scaling problem before a technical scaling problem*. It's easier to coordinate development resources around small codebases than it is larger ones. It's a human problem, not a technical one.

Independent auto shops deserve the right to repair your car
I don't agree. A society where prostitution is welcomed and celebrated is very different than one where it's not, and it's entirely reasonable for me to say I'd like to live in the second kind of society. You mention cars, so I'd point to muffler mandates as a good analogy - an un-muffled car won't rob anyone or burn down your house, but because they're loud and annoying they've been prohibited.

As an aside, this is why I love HN (no /s). I have absolutely no idea what a posit is, and here is a community of experts nitpicking it, discussing it at length and in detail on this thread. No matter what the subject, SMEs always pop up out of nowhere and give the rest of us a crash-course education :)
Here's my real life example:

I bought a house in 2009 @ 3.75% for 480k fixer-upper 1922 craftsman home in East Los Angeles area. My monthly payment was about $3200 because I could only afford ~4% down so we had to get PMI. At the time I made $110,000 and wife made $60,000. We put in about 50k into the house using my dad who is a general contractor (basically only paid for materials).

In Dec of 2021, we refinanced for 2.75% and our fixer-upper was valued at 750k which meant we could get rid of PMI and now our monthly payment is $2500 (including taxes). It's a massive drop for us now that we have a baby.

Literally none of this is possible right now. It feels like we've won the lottery. On top of that, we had a ton of help making this place a home because of my dad. For most families in the major metro areas, this is just totally out of reach now.

Well said. The idea that we could tell who did this by analyzing the poker faces of the various suspects is pretty fantastical.

So little real information...

So the team is now responsible for backups, hardware ordering,.forecast etc?

How big is the team now compared to before?

Does it scale?

If you price it correctly and keep the free tier small, I would either talked to AWS for better pricing or moved to another cloud Provider.

S3 on AWS is a total no-brainer, minio on bare metal might mean much more work and a bigger infra team than business actually wants.

I would also love to know what optimizations are already in place. Does cloudflare caching work? Are the results compressed on rest? Is geolocation latency relevant?

Why even Cassandra? Are websites not unique? Wouldn't a nginx and a few big servers not work?

But who knows? The article doesn't tell me that :-(
Sorry, didn't see your reply.

`xcrun safari-web-extension-converter <extracted chrome extension directory>`

It'll create an xcode project and you can run the mac app from there. Safari will need the "Allow Unsigned Extensions" from the Develop menu set before it'll show up in the prefs page. No idea how it all works if you want it on iOS.

I don't think so. This was the default GNU style in the 90s, but even they started using CSS at some point.
You didn't even list the two most popular platforms LG WebOS and Samsung Tizen.
Minor correction, but you probably mean Blackrock-type firms. Blackwater was a private military company.
I sort of doubt it will correct very much. I assume a fair percentage of the homes are rentals. Landlords won't care to lower prices. They have a client based that's geographically constrained to the college and able to get easy money from the government.
I'm sympathetic but this is turning to a get off my lawn rant. Things weren't easy too depending on what it was. Forums and irc were just like discords in that you had to deal with insular culture and often serious verbal abuse for being stupid enough to ask for help in a forum meant to get help in.

That said, I do see the sentiment. It would be nice to have the old convience of being able to look up old forum posts (especially with summaries in the OP via edit). Stackoverflow often fits that role now although I dread the answers even worse than old forum posts. I guess what I want is my cake and the ability to eat it too, I dont know why we can't just have the ability to search forums and have the general kinder attitude that modern media tend to have, they shouldn't be mutually exclusive.
LOL. Okay...
I would submit that they actually aren't that good on an absolute scale. Relative to other widely available chain wings, perhaps, and I suspect that's why they have such a strong following.

Yep, the cloud was always about flexibility and convenience, not cost.
After living in Amsterdam for about a year I can definitely say leasing bikes makes far more sense than owning. Less hassle, less worry regarding maintenance and in certain cases far less worry about your bike being stolen or having to deal with the fallout.

I'm surprised someone hasn't created the killer "lease combo" of "unlimited charging" at certain charging stations coupled with a bike lease.

Having lived in America before, even in cities like New York - I vastly prefer a bike + transit system than solely a subway and poor bus infrastructure.

Driving is such a wasteful activity but unfortunately the way cities are designed is sort of integral to whether or not getting around by car or bike makes sense. Have to mention the NL climate is also nearly perfect - forget trying to "bike" anywhere somewhere like Austin most of the year (even if they actually had bike lanes / paths everywhere). Also, biking in the dead of winter is something I'd never do - know too many people who've gotten concussions from ice.

Hello, I’m Michael, I work at Lago (YC S21).
We did not listen to YC’s advice (do things that don’t scale) and built a design system from day one. It was one of our best decisions, and even help pivoting.

I often get questions about it, so I’ve laid down the backstory here: https://www.getlago.com/blog/how-soon-should-you-have-a-desi...

I’m also curious to hear about other companies: how early did the design system come along? When did you hire your first designer (part time or full time)?
Prerender as I can see is founded by Hungarian and most employees are Hungarian.

Even if he hired 2 FTEs in Hungary to maintain (which I doubt), it would eat 200k at most (probably much less), so they still saved 600k.

For 800k he could probably hire 10 more people, to improve development, sales, marketing, support, and that would be better investment instead of burning money on AWS.
