I've been hearing the same exact thing for 40 years now, about how the economy is going to burst. Sooner or later, someone is going to be right.

I predicted it, too. I saw it coming the exact minute the government starting giving out stimulus and unemployment checks when the pandemic started. Shouldn't I be getting all the credit for realizing this was going to happen a few months into the pandemic.

It doesn't take a genius to figure this whole thing plays out. Burry is just stating the obvious, there's no great amazing calculations made to figure it out.
> I cannot go into the office nude

Welcome to the finish sauna located inside the office.

It always context dependent. Organizations and companies in particular have cultural filters. I know people who find it toxic when people mix alcohol and work, while other find it useful to grease the professional relationship. Personally I find having a work get together at the sauna more suitable then the bar, but I am pretty sure 99% of HN belong to cultures that disagree.
That's a lie you've been told for a long time. "Trickle-down economics" never worked. Mango Mussolini's trade policies and disastrous handling of the COVID pandemic have probably more than wiped out the tax cuts even for the richest companies, much less the average citizen.
What we need is before and after microscopy to see just what effect stropping has. It seems like an obvious idea to me, but I haven't found any.
+9000. This is a ridiculously good post! I knew PP was a bad actor, but not this bad. This step: <<They have, or have had literally 90% of LU lawyers retained>> How did you discover it?

Luxembourg seems like an even shadier place than Switzerland for money laundering -- the "legal" kind. There is a stock exchange in Luxembourg that is used for all kinds of back door listings to avoid regulation in other jurisdictions. It is is /similar/ to money managers using Caribbean Islands (Cayman, BVI, etc.) for their business registration.
Thanks, appreciate it. Fixed!

This looks really great, I will check it out.
Some parking spaces may be designed for bursting loads, and the wires actually do heat up if used continuously. They may still need upgrades for EVs, but overall should be only a modest cost.
That happened to me a LONG time ago when TV shows proliferated, I stopped watching movies etc, with pop music etc.

When PayPal closes people's accounts and keeps the money, in what percentage of cases do you think the people eventually get their money back?

My guess is far fewer than 10%.
I actually want to be technically senior without politics and bureaucracy. Technically capable like GeoHotz, Dean, Caramack, RMS, etc. The management part of the role can come later!
"Adequate" is less vague than most other ways you could describe levels of funding though.
You can easily enough define a base set of requirements that all educational institutions need to be able to provide (independent of any proposed goal such as combating entrenched discrimination against particular minorities) and establish what the minimal funding necessary for that much is. And if after doing so, given a reasonable span of time of ensuring those requirements are met (let's say 10 years), there's still no measurable (relative) improvement in educational outcomes for those you're aiming to help, it's fair to say the theory is falsified - or at least, you've proven that adequate funding for all education institutions regardless of location or ethnic make-up of students isn't enough on its own. Which personally is the result I would expect to see, for various complex reasons - while I'm not a fan of policies that explicitly show favoritism to individuals based on ethnicity etc., I don't have a problem with accepting that it costs more to provide effective education to students from certain socio-economic backgrounds, and therefore there's an argument for allocating taxpayer funding accordingly (esp. in parts of the world, and it's certainly the case here in Australia, where even public schools rely on a percentage of their funding to come from the community/parents).
I'm a nobody, and fiercely proud of it. And I pity the NSA employee who has to monitor my Internet usage, they're going to see an awful lot of Javadoc, programming blogs, websites about plane crashes (and I hope they read some AdmiralCloudberg on Medium for themselves), and websites about rocks and faultlines.

In reality, as mentioned by other commenters, I'm not anything they're interested in, at best I'm a datapoint that advertisers try to categorise into a demographic (male, 30 - 50, doesn't give a shit about cars, into tech).

And anyway, they're already doing it, but impersonally.

It's the person who is very personal that I'm not enthused about.
What do you mean by "better"? I know some people are technically better than me at making music but technically impressive doesn't always mean good (by good I mean something I would like because it's all subjective). Music I make is some of my favorite music because I'm the only person who knows my taste best so it makes sense, I can make exactly what I want to hear. And I don't like sharing it with random people I mostly just show it to my friends. But the main reason I make it is because the process feels so good and when I'm done I have a new favorite song to listen to.
"How xxx Corrupted Advertising" is a really strange titlre.

It seems to assume that Advertising being corrupted is a new thing?

And that the Elon guy is somehow a genius for noticing a part of the problem?

The whole history of advertising seems to indicate that in fact Advertising was designed to make us buy things we don't need, not designed to talk to the better angels of our nature.

Edward Bernays, aka Freud nephew, was a pioneer in Public Relations (called Propaganda at the time, they were not afraid of the word) and one of his greatest success was to convince women to start smoking en masse. He did that by branding cigarettes as feminist "Torches of Freedom"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays

If that's not corrupt, I don't know what is.

I mean the whole industry would look really really different if they had to give up misoginy. Think "Cheat On Your Girlfriend, Not On Your Workout” (Reebook) and 42.000 other examples
> EVs are definitely going to remain a first-world item for my lifetime at least

I disagree. iPhone remained a first world item. Smartphones are being adopted even in the poorest countries.

I'd argue that it's in the third world where the advantages of the EV are particularly important. Lower operating costs, simpler maintenance, local power sources.

Most of the developing world is where there is a lot of solar radiation. Solar PV has already the lowest generation costs. It's already the power source that requires the least capital investments, and works the best in the regions with underdeveloped infrastructure (see stories about Afghan farmers).

Yes, 50K vehicles are too expensive for countries with a GDP of < 10K per capita. They are even too expensive for most of the EU. But eventually the cost parity will be reached, and at some point it will be more economical to produce budget and low margin EVs than to support a legacy supply chain of ICE vehicles.

Even the bleakest estimates predict EV cost parity in 10 years. 20 years for nearly complete fleet replacement. So in 30 years or so an ICE vehicle will be like a steam engine. TCO parity will happen sooner, and most vehicles are replaced after 10 years, so the majority of the cars will be EVs in 15 years or so (in high GDP countries). And if the majority of the cars produced are EVs, and they are less expensive, the developing world will switch too.
It will also fly so no need for roads anymore, just green fields everywhere.
Going from "not the best" as a high schooler to "not the best" as an adult is... fine? Its no major difference.

That's my point. I already accepted my middling skill level in Chess, Starcraft, Drama, Music (Trumpet/Piano), martial arts and sports. Even years of effort in these subjects puts you as simply mediocre, and the sooner you realize the amount of effort it takes to just be "fine" (let alone "good" or "the best") the better it is for your psyche.

"Winning" isn't the point of... most of these hobbies? I wasn't really aiming to be a world-record holder in the 800-meter or 1600 meter by high school, I was already just aiming at something that satisfied myself (which was a ~6:30 mile time and a 2:20 800m time). Nothing crazy good, but something that made myself proud of my own efforts.

Same same as an adult. My mile time isn't as good as when I was younger and healthier and more time to run. But other skills I got, like Tetris, 40L sprint in 1-minute, is acceptable to me. Sure, stronger players can so it in sub 20-seconds but I'm satisfied with 1-minute 40L sprint?

-------

And you really don't have to work very hard to find an unexplored, useful profession. In particular, programming skills are a a fractal. You can probably become a "world expert" in Cobol in less time than I spent learning Tetris 40L sprints (and certainly less time to become a Cobol expert than to get a 6:30 mile run time). Assuming of course you're proficient in the base level / bachelor's level of Comp. Sci.

There's only one subject you need to be world-class in, and that's your profession. Heck, arguably you don't even need to be world-class in your work. Plenty of money in just being a "fine" programmer.

This comes down to the insanity of burning WOOD for power. If energy is a ladder[1], nuclear power is at the top, then natural gas, then coal and wood is the first rung.

Civilisation is a story about climbing this energy ladder.

Decentralized decision making is usually better because of the local knowledge problem. But not always. It's the wisdom of crowds vs madness of crowds dichotomy. That's why it's good to have constraints on democracy in the form of Constitution-type documents, and why representative democracy can sometimes be better than direct democracy. There's also the inescapable incentive conflict of 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. It's not really a just or perfect system, it's just the best one we have, to recycle that old cliche.
Really interesting comment. I've amended the title to include self-hosting for relevancy here. You are right, power in small form factor has increased to the extent that Pis with some additional storage can suffice. The setup can be arduous though, I've spent countless hours just trying to get something up and running and no better than hosted experiences. Sometimes I don't really know what I'm accomplishing by doing it. I think a lot of us who used to tinker with building PCs, etc, eventually moving to just paying for prebuilt things that served the purpose. It was the same with bikes and cars before that. I really enjoyed building myself but eventually the cost/time of maintenance was too much.

What you said about email is also really true. I think it means your sending really has to go through reputable origins rather than through your own IPs. So the relaying/sending part needs to be decoupled from the actual storage.

All of this points to, where's the drop-in solution.
Project Management Tool for Freelancing Designers
I am Kevin Lu, a 12-year-experience graphic designer from Taiwan. I studied graphic design in the BFA program back at San Jose State University.

After years as a freelance graphic designer, I noticed that most of my clients couldn't distinguish a good design from a better one! I interviewed my clients, and 90% of them told me the only way they could identify a designer professional or not wasn't by their work but by their project management and communication abilities.

That was the A-ha moment in my graphic design career because most freelance graphic designers were not good at managing projects, designing, and sales simultaneously!

It's why I started dotBRAND, a project management tool specifically designed for freelance designers. Starting from survey templates, we will extend more features like scheduling, reminders, and team management in the future.
I invite you to sign up at https://dotbrand.design/users and please give us feedback!

Any time a resources-based discussion related to motor vehicles comes up, I point out that the total iron ore that goes into a modern vehicle costs something like $400, plus minus a few hundred dollars depending on the typical factors.

Find me a car where, say, doubling the cost of that iron would materially impact the affordability of the final vehicle.

You won't be able to, because the price of all modern vehicles is dominated by other factors: design, certification, manufacture, shipping, taxes, etc...

Even batteries. Elon Musk pointed out that it's the lack of cell manufacturing capacity that's holding things up.

Even if all of the input materials for a Tesla was suddenly free, its cost wouldn't decrease significantly.
HPy [New C API for Python]: binary compatibility and API evolution
Adam, we hung way back I was working on an on device search tool called Orbit that could’ve used Ultralight, I think at bespoke. Been keeping tabs on it since, congrats on the release.

The steps WebKit have made the last few years have been incredible and your further parallelization and optimization work would be so slick, can’t wait to try it out.

I’d love to use it with Tamagui and Vite running all bundling for RN. Silky smooth desktop app, web apps, sites, and mobile apps all easy to design together and deploy nicely to their respective platforms.

I'm going to link this fragment of a documentary on the Belgian artist Sam Dillemans called "Madness in the detail". He talks about his work and his struggle to get to that elusive point where he finally reaches his artistic vision, as well as his impressions on how the rest of the world approaches art:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsZ5pmZfIc0

Clearly, everything else is subservient to art as far as Sam Dillemans is concerned. That's who he is. That's the mind space in which he operates. It's his innate personality.

Do you have to be like Sam Dillemans? Do you want to be like Sam Dillemans? Sure, there are aspects of him that everyone recognizes within themselves. It's up to you, though, to figure out what you want to take from that and how far you want to take that for yourself. Everyone is living their own unique, personal experience of life. There's only one Sam Dillemans living the life of Sam Dillemans. Trying to become Sam Dillemans is futile.

Trying to become yourself, well, that's what it's all about, isn't it?

Could have sworn petroleum was important too. Like https://www.petroleumhistory.org/OilHistory/pages/trucks/WWI... :

> The outbreak of WW II in the early 1940’s on two fronts (Europe and the Pacific) put an incredible demand on the oil refining and transportation capability of the domestic United States. Practically every means of transportation of crude and product was pressed into a magnitude of service heretofore unseen in this country and equally so in other countries that had oil production and refining plants.

Software is infinitely more complex to civil engineering (this isn't a good thing). Because it can literally do almost anything.

In civil engineering you have a bridge from point A to point B over a river. Points are on such and such soil. It needs to support X amount of traffic and gets inspection/repair every Y days.

In software you have a bridge, but we also need it to launch a space shuttle, and it needs to work as an air ship. It goes from point A to point B but soil is periodically changed (sometimes it's diamond and sometimes gravel or marshmallow). Oh and river can sometimes turn to molten metal or solid oxygen.

As companies grow it becomes harder and harder to maintain a good culture, healthy team and high productivity. Google, Twitter, Facebook all have a reputation for some teams not doing a whole lot. Interesting how Microsoft, Amazon and SpaceX seem to avoid it.
If I'm giving this sort of question, I expect you to solve it in an obvious way, write the code for it, then talk about potential improvements. Writing it twice while having an epiphany between the first and second is simply not reasonable. And selecting for candidates who have studied these problems well enough to already know the optimal solutions is not going to get you good developers, it's going to get you leetcode champs. If you're building a competitive leetcode team, then great. If not, you're just focusing on the wrong hiring bar.
>you can't dangle a cable from your house to your car (which may not be outside of your house).

That must vary between countries, because I've seen tons of outlets on the outside walls of homes in Finland. They need a weatherproof extension cord, but it comes in handy for a lot of tools. Though most homes have at least a driveway, cars are generally shorter than homes, so they fit close by.

The cost of free parking and where to park should really be reconsidered in cities though, as with your image, those exist here as well and are really bad places to drive in. IIRC in Japan they require people to prove a car has it's own dedicated parking space before they're allowed to get a car
Exactly. You see the motivation now.

I imagine that each additional page presentation is exponentially less likely to be reached and considered a 'reputable' result by someone normal.

If I'm looking for a specific issue I'll sometimes try out things as deep as 10 or more pages of search results if nothing on the first 100 ish hits selects the issue, but then only if I can't think of any keyword variations to use that might get me a better result match. I don't expect the average user to go even remotely that far.

This is kinda like saying if we had electric vehicles that can charge instantly and have million km range then everyone would switch. Sure, that's correct.

A kernel that rivals Linux in its feature set and is formally verified is even more of a bonkers proposition.
