Bologna. Customers want to NEVER migrate to a new device if they don't have to. These low-end, piece-of-crap, plastic machines simply do not LAST more than a few years, before the hinge won't hold the screen up, or the keys start falling off, or the battery won't hold a change. My wife complained about the cost when I replaced a busted up Asus laptop with our first MacBook Air. The PC was $500, and lasted 4 years. The Air was $900 (refurb), and lasted 11. Our house is filled with Apple tech now.
I hate to break it to you, but Earth before humans has largely been dead for hundreds or thousands of years, depending upon the exact region you're talking about.
What might even be weirder is if you take modern pigs and let them run wild for just a few weeks they'll start looking very feral. It's bizarre.
I sold a house in late 2020 hoping to beat the RE crash only to see it appreciate about 40% or more in 2021. It’s been a weird ride this time.
> Plastic would just wind up in domestic landfills.

Precisely. That's where they should end up.

In this case, if you want to do your part, stop recycling plastic and start putting it in the trash where it belongs.

> It is asserted that because the COVID pandemic had a huge impact that the cause must be investigated,

This is generally how we focus funds. If things are serious, they get serious funding. I'm not sure if you have seen how many people covid killed, but it was a lot. Plus, humans, despite being really bad at it, love causality.

> There seems to be a fundamental problem with the logic here.

Most of science is wandering into the darkness. I'm not sure why you're just telling us to give up before we even start. There's plenty of scientific works that took well over a hundred years to solve. Giving up before you begin is the fundamental problem with logic here. It is better to improve our knowledge than sit by complicity. Your comment is fundamentally anti-scientific.
He is entitled to his opinion and you may be breaking the rules of HN by starting a flame war. Our technology is built upon the foundations from our predecessors. I am younger too but I do not promote ageism that is so rampant in our industry
> If you are consuming meat in 3 weeks either buy it and freeze it or buy it in three weeks.

Freezing ruins the texture of the meat. Buying it in 3 weeks is more expensive because it's no longer on sale. Given the choice between slightly more plastic and saving $1+/lb, I'm choosing latter every time. Also, you focusing on the consumer side entirely misses the retail side. According to the USDA 7% of meat/seafood is lost due to spoilage at the retail level alone. This is with plastic packaging. Going back to wrapping everything with pink butcher paper will certainly be worse.

This sounds like it has an incredible tail-risk. A sound plan if everything goes to plan but if anything serious happens you might loose big time. Everything is essentially placed on one card. I am not sure how much you can reduce it with insurance (e.g. against renters unable to pay, renters damaging your home, damage from natural disasters or just random repair costs due to unforeseen failure of some equipment etc.) without making the whole calculation turn upside down. I wouldn't finance everything using debt with this reasoning.

Also, is it that easy to rent if you move away?

It's different if you live in it, but casually buying a house and renting it sounds like a huge risk.
Maybe they shouldn't be doing it on houses, either.
So this is the work version of the "the computer kid" at home.
A nicer way of saying that is that it draws in people who are good at working with their hands, but aren’t as good at understanding the Fed and the economy.

I know better than to buy a house in early 2022, but I don’t have the skill to profitably improve a home, either.
I think first you would have to define what it means to be computed in this context.
The number of screens is a little dependant on your use case. In Infinate Office mode i.e. using the built in browser windows or 2D PWAs its all on board, limited to 3 in Quest 2 and idk on Pro. These are stand alone no external support needed. In PCVR mode as a remote desktop with Horizon Workplace/ImmerssedVR/vSpatial then you are limited by the resolution settings you want such that the total fits your Quest screen budget. I do find the PPD calculations interesting since they are right the details are not easy to find published. Color Passthrough is the big win on this Pro headset and new Mixed Reality applications will lead its adoption which is good news for everyone in the XR space including Simula.
The problem is... timing... we've had a 12 year bull cycle. Why should we expect this un-ending growth forever. And the typical 1-2 year recession, is way overdue.

The housing market was already contracting months ago... once interest rates started ticking up. And now at ~7% mortgage rates... housing prices are going to go dramatically down. Mortgage rates were ~3%, just 10 months ago... that means payments are double at this point.

And sadly, we have seen this cycle repeat so many times at this point. Feds put the brakes on the economy and housing sinks. 2008-2009 was classic.
If you watch high-altitude time-lapse photography, human settlements look exactly like a mold infestation. We spread as much as we can, and eventually we'll collapse as we exhaust resources.

The earth won't "care", it'll just be another of the many boom-bust cycles in the history of nature. We're part of it.

It's not going to be pleasant for the humans and animals that live through it, though!

While we have enough individual intelligence to see this is coming, and wish to avoid it, I don't think we collectively have the intelligence to do so. A crowd of humans has its own dynamics and kind of thought, and so far, these crowds are very short-sighted and prone to all sorts of irrationalities and hysterias.

I don't have a solution. I am not sure that there is one. Just don't want to subject a group of people to trauma.
Upstate? I'm not sure it's all that more expensive. IBM is in Armonk. Buffalo used to (and may still) have GM warehouses, with many of their cars made not far away in St. Catherines, ON.

One bulb, one night, once a year wouldn't be enough to select for light avoidance.
Wow. I think your reply demonstrates the crux of the issue perfectly. I can't tell if its satire or not.

It is insane that this level of workaround and hacks is required to avoid advertising and crapware on a £500+ _television_. Normal people have almost no hope for a good experience when you consider something like a Lenovo laptop from the OP.

You have the manufacture-installed adware, windows 10 + edge nonsense constantly nagging you, and then there is just the state of the web itself. Its all just too much.
Yeah, one of the kickers for me was this comment: "users of the software are encouraged to have daily calls with the company on pricing, and are strongly discouraged from deviating from the recommended pricing".

If this is just a tool, as the authors claim, to help estimate best prices, then it's just an estimate. But "strongly discouraging" any deviation from the model sounds very much like "because this number is what everyone else is relying on, too".
In the 80s, most teens could rattle off some measure of nuclear stats, in between bouts of jingoistic refrains. We were more technically literate, and still dangerously stupid.

"Just reiterates how important it is to ensure that weapons of mass destruction are kept in the secure custody of competent authorities. Not only in America, Russia and China, but the rest of the world as well." Given the governments mentioned, the first and second sentence would appear to be in contradiction.
Exactly. An ABM is likely to be more effective against a second strike, which means that the side without them is encouraged to strike first.

>The ancients may have understood negative numbers, but IIRC the concept of zero (additive identity) wasn't understood until Arabic Numbers / Algebra. So "zero" isn't real, at least not to the Romans or Greeks.
The idea of the point as a pseudo-algebraic value was very much prominent in euclids elements. The symbol came later, but of course the concept was very much established.

It is preposterous to attribute to a civilization which, in Archimedes, discovered calculus, that they did not understand the concept of zero. They just thought far more geometrically than most people are used to.

Also by "real" he means cauchy sequences of rationals, or some equivalent definition.
> I simply can't understand how anybody could defend that it is actually good thing for North Korea to be able to send a rocket to Seoul, Tokyo or Los Angeles.

It's clearly a good thing for North Korea; look what the US does to countries that don't have nuclear missiles.
...they'd be deeply confused, and likely revolt at the satire, mistaking it for jingoism.

how do you solve this dilemma?
I disagree with some of your second statement. I'm pretty handy and my dad is a carpenter. My significant other sand I spent almost a year and a half looking for a "fixer-upper" homes with the intent to buy and fix and live. For that entire year and a half almost every time we found a home that wasn't a complete trainwreck, someone would come in (sometimes from out of state) pay cash sight unseen and they would get the home. Considering this was going to be our first home, we couldn't compete.

A few months later, we would see the same home back on the market, with a significant markup and basically some light tile work, and a coat of paint. Not really worth the "fee" IMO.

Further, most of the "flipped" homes we looked at were absolutely done by DIYers. Not to knock people who have the drive to do it, but the work was absolutely not to professional standards and not worth the price listed.

So to say that buyers are free to buy fixers-uppers isn't completely true, nor fair.
> In many parts of the United States, you can buy a whole house for $300k

And you’d likely get anywhere from a third to half the house you’d have gotten in 2019. That’s the point.
GDP growth is not, but GDP per capita is certainly aligned with general well-being. This is well documented.
Security is not choose your own buffet where you get to only think about scans but ignore other common attack vectors. Botnets are common enough that targeted attacks like I described are just as common as scans, so you always need more anyway.

Configuring your host to return 404 on invalid subdomains is just not a general solution, at best it just buys you some time until attackers find the subdomain, ie. kicking the can down the road, like I originally said.
Someone doing a lot of flipping is likely to cultivate a relationship with realtors, government officials, etc. in their area.

> Now, the issue is that RealPage's algorithm will quickly learn that it can raise rents much higher if it controls the market in a city or neighborhood. If they tell one landlord raises rent by 30%, that landlord is likely going to lose most of their tenants to other landlords. If they tell every landlord to raise rent by 30%, then tenants are no longer in a competitive market where they can rent from someone else. Essentially, the landlords have formed a cartel.

Which is I suspect why RealPage encourages calls with software users and "strongly discourages" pricing things differently than their software says. The official line is because it's an "educated estimate", and the unofficial line, I suspect, is "because the number we have given you is one part in a much larger equation that others are relying on, too".
Something like 30 years ago I came across a magazine in which there was a calendar with set of events for each day so that you can have a pretext to drink everyday.
After a while the idea of a similar service came to mind - a program which would figure the nearest "round" number of seconds, minutes, days in hex, oct, bin etc.
So it is more than 20 years already and I'm still thinking it would be great to implement it finally.
I forget the stat but you have to reuse those "reusable" bags like a thousand times before it becomes a net benefit. Even if you do reuse them, you are almost certainly not going to reuse it a thousand times before it wears out or whatever and you dispose of it.
The “Lump of Code” fallacy
Radio astronomy always needs more bandwidth. International arrays like LOFAR or the SKA pathfinders generate a comparable amount of information/second as the entire internet. They could definitely benefit from small scale production of extremely high bandwidth optical networking components.
I'm the author of this blog post. Happy to answer any questions people may have.
They are rent-seeking with the information asymmetry created by the real estate cartel in this country. Many of the flippers do barely any 'fixing up' besides manipulative adds to increase the houses prices over the cost of the improvement. In a perfect information system, that shouldn't be possible. But the real estate industry locks down the information in order to justify insane fees for selling homes.

Flippers, like scalpers, are scumbags who manipulate a market w limited supply. Flippers are worse in a lot of ways because instead of not being able to afford a concert, people can't afford a place to live.
All of those signs out there that say "We buy homes for cash" that are linked to a flipper gets them some info. Otherwise, they actively send out mailers as junk mail to see if there's any interested parties willing to sell their house. They also tend to watch foreclosure auctions much more closely than your average home buyer.

There's many many ways an interested party can learn advantages over your common house hunter.
That's my experience as well. That entire part of my life is just blurred together.
macOS Ventura: The MacStories Review

I think there will be more competition for specific types of cloud needs. AWS, GCP, and Azure offer every service you could ever need in one place. At the other extreme, you can pay a colo facility to rack the servers you own. I think the in-between market has the potential to grow. Cheaper than AWS but without all the drawbacks of true self-hosting.
I've created an offline-first web app which is based on service workers. I've created another one that could be pushed to the back end (like on Node.js) that would be just a straight MPA app. I guess both of them could be pushed to the back end if needed. Since I just use them for myself I don't worry about them not working without JS enabled. But I created HTMF, similar to HTMX but made to be a progressive enhancement from the get-go.

The real competition is globally for California. We think and worry more about competition from Zurich, Singapore, etc. than the places you mentioned.

Those global places have world class universities that are real "threats" to California's university (Caltech, Berkeley, Stanford, etc.) and capital axis (Sand Hill et al) in the way the domestic places you mentioned are not.
This is also in the context of namecheap blocking people in Russia, not just "someone forgot to pay their renewal".

Security. K8s secrets present their data in the clear to anyone who can view it or list or watch secrets. Cloud secret managers provide a separate decrypt operation, along with builtin features like auditing and versioning.

> _for example_, be stored in ETCD differently (encrypted at rest for example).

Cloud provider k8s clusters are deployed with encryption at rest for ETCD now. If secrets were doubly encrypted at rest that wouldn't fix how their secret values are exposed in what should be just a metadata listing.

> From the point of view of the process running inside the container, there is absolutely no difference between a sensitive configuration value and a non-sensitive configuration value. When this value reaches your process it is in cleartext.

This model is desirable for convenience, but not for security. In order to securley handle a secret properly, the process needs to know that it is handling a secret. This can help to ensure secrets are not accidentally logged. For higher levels of security, it also helps to periodically refresh secrets so that they can be given as expiring tokens.
I dislike how mean and critical HN can get sometimes. The article is clearly titled "A guide", not "The guide"! The OP link builds on top of using containerization / docker. Some find it useful, some would benefit from it. Doesn't mean that embrace is "silly", "nonsense", "cult", and whatnot. If you don't prefer something, make that known, that's fine. If there's something to add or alternatives to suggest, do so. One doesn't have to shitpile on a fairly well written, referenced and organized article.
lol talk about human centric dellusions and an example walks into the conversation
But surely you would agree one is obligated to write an uncritical puff piece about someone they suspect is a fraud? -- they could say nothing instead.
The "data engineer" became a distinct role to bring over Software Engineering practices to data processing; such as those practices are, they were a marked improvement over their absence.

Building a bridge from one shore to the other with application programming languages and data processing tools that worked much closer to other forms of programming was a huge part of that push.

Of course, the big data tools were intricate machines that were easy to learn and very hard to master, and data engineers had to be pretty sophisticated.

So, it became cheaper to move much of that apparatus to data warehouses and, as you said, commoditize the building of data pipelines that way.

Software is as widespread as it is today because in every generation the highly skilled priestly classes that were needed to get the job done were displaced by people with less training enabled by new tools or hardware; else it'd be all rocket simulations done by PhD physicists still.

But the technical debt will be hefty from this shift.
The problem happens when the flippers are betting on home appreciation for the vast majority of their returns, instead of home improvements.
> Why so many people, even institutions, kept arguing otherwise baffles me.

I think it was here on HN I first saw the expression "Pessimists get the benefit of being right, optimists get the benefit of being rich."

I generally consider myself a pessimist (well I think I'm realist...) but I somewhat agree with this logic.

What really happens is that (especially) institutions have to make money today. If you're in a bubble, and know you're in a bubble, philosophically it is quite correct to point out that everything around is is built on shaking foundations and will collapse. It can be maddening to see others not understand this.

But if you're the one in change of a fund, and we're in a bubble, you can't simply not participate because their is still money on the table and your job is to grab it while you can.

It doesn't benefit financial institutions to see bubbles or question fundamentals because it may make you hesitate when you should be focused on getting that next increase.
