This kind of argument is always a cesspool, but this argument is just outrageously spun, and frankly you should be deeply ashamed to have made it. You're taking a technically true fact about one loan and using it to imply that other competing manufacturers didn't receive comparable government assistance in the same time period, which is beyond laughably wrong.

I mean, come on, GM was literally insolvent in 2009 and exists today only because of a government bailout!
This is done all the time when pieces of businesses are bought and sold. It gets a little complex when the businesses are related (like Amazon Advertising and e-commerce, as opposed to Amazon e-commerce and AWS which are more fully independent of each other).
I've left negative reviews and they tend to get removed.

I was once even warned by Amazon that my account could be deactivated for violation of the ToS after posting a review that pointed out all of the other fake reviews on a particular product. Apparently the ToS allow fake reviews and disallow shining a light on it.
I am currently using only virtual. With IAM supporting only a single MFA per account, it created a huge risk to involve a HW token that could be lost.

I am transitioning many of my accounts (not just AWS) to hardware tokens and away from TOTP, but it is important to have > 1 token enrolled in case of loss.
My primary use case for a VPN is staying relatively secure while connected to wifi in a coffee shop. Maybe I am just basic though.
3D printers have exited the hype cycle and now are in two categories:

People who bought them as a cool consumer gadget similar to VR. These printers are gathering dust because there ultimately isn’t that much interesting plastic junk to print.

Silently churning out hundreds of rapid prototypes a month for engineers & makers. In my circle it’s just become an assumption that you have 2-3 printers running when prototyping a project. 3D printers have just become a background tool rather than something that you actively tinker with + improve. I got mine down to decent print quality and haven’t upgraded it in years, but print daily!
Although I get where you're coming from, it seems that this just renames a DSL as a model specification language.
It’s probably safe to assume the truth is mundane. Tesla stock is definitely overvalued (at least it was a few months ago. I haven’t checked recently) and the Tesla brand will likely just become a staple car brand (ala Honda, GM, Ford, Toyota, etc).
oh hm, do you think the issue was that you're on Debian or something else (different layout that you refer to)? We'll be sure to test on a Debian machine in the future. Thank you for the feedback and kind words!
I think the README could be a little more clear. What exactly is a Pokemon Emerald Randomizer? That doesn't tell me too much about what this software actually does.
Frankly I only figured out what this is for thanks to the link izietto posted.
> And if there are people getting rich by tricking consumers or lobbying the government for anti-competitive regulations or tax loopholes, then let's stop them. Not because it's causing economic inequality, but because it's stealing.

If we did that Bezos&co wouldn't have nearly as much money.

A big part of the wealth of these individual is tax evasion or """optimisation""", taxes which are supposed to be used to fix these inequalities... Again, these people don't exist in a vacuum, these massive companies became what they are by squeezing as much as they're legally (and some time not so legally) allowed to squeeze, it's our collective job to set the boundaries. Not doing anything is letting them decide and their end goal is squeezing us and the planet dry

You don't "attack poverty" with good intentions and nice speeches
It was pure conjecture, idle speculation, a haphazard guess.

While most of us in this forum probably appreciate drive, technical mastery, and the creation of great things, etc., the reports on Musk's management style don't make for a compelling recruitment pitch.
Certainly thankful as well. There's no other resource like this. I only hope this quality of moderation keeps it up for a very long time.
right nobody ever gets ejaculated into by anyone they didn't want ejaculating into them, nobody ever ejaculates into someone when doing well and then loses job, child has problems, one of partners dies and not able to take care of child etc.

A person is in some way a sort of god that has complete control over the world and can only be brought low by making a 'bad' choice.
You misunderstand me. I am strongly in favor of abolishing all intellectual property restrictions. Here is me arguing just that two days ago:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33697341

But I am absolutely not in favor of keeping IP restrictions in place and then letting big corporations scoop up the works of small independent artists for their ML models.

Think of it in terms of software licenses. The people who write GPL protected software are leveraging existing copyright laws to enforce distribution of their code. They would probably be in favor of abolishing the entire IP rights system. But if a big corporation was copying a project from an independent creator that was GPL licensed, they’d sure as hell want to prosecute.

I believe strongly that IP restrictions are harmful. But keeping them in place while letting big corporations benefit from the work of independent artists who don’t want their work used in this way seems wrong to me. As long as artists wouldn’t expect anyone else to be able to copy their works, I’d like them to be able to consent to their work being used in these systems.

No, while it supports a number of big-box cloud provider storage systems it also includes smaller providers and various protocols. Protocols like HTTP, FTP, SFTP, SMB, local filesystem, and things like "S3 compatible".
Why, luminiferous aether of course!
I had a couple of OCZ drives. They were pretty flaky and unreliable. The Intel X25–M drives were really the first production ready consumer drives that I ever used. I still have one going to this day 13 years later. My Intel hardware in general has been as bulletproof as hardware gets. I actually believe Intel is underrated and underappreciated. Their quality assurance while not perfect, is the best. My current system is 100% Intel and Samsung.

> He wasn't born in the US, so he can't run for president.

It's "natural born citizen", not "US born". cf [1] which says via a Congressional Research Service report,

> it appears that the most logical inferences would indicate that the phrase "natural born Citizen" would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "at birth" or "by birth"

Hence e.g. Ted Cruz being eligible for President even though he was born in Canada because he has an American mother.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause_(U...
Yes.

1) Technology has always helped Top Performers. So, it is natural that the impact of high performers will grow faster than average performers.

2) American CEOs now also increasingly service the rest of the world. So, naturally their Total-Addressable-Impact have grown significantly. US Management Innovation are adapted / copied quickly unlike the rest of the world

3) Musk, Jobs, Bezos, Nadella have demonstrably added Trillions of Dollars of value to their firms. So, it make sense to award a %age of value they create
I wonder if AppleTV's atrocious single-line onscreen keyboard fits into this picture of making things less discoverable, or if it's just an extreme of form over function.
When Amazon had a market cap of $1.7T, $1T of that was from AWS. I don't remember what the source was for the estimate.

Oh having though about it I agree, I just think we're probably a minority.

As others have pointed out the line has been blurred between search and maps so far that maps has search embedded, and search has maps embedded. A lot users of Google search likely expect results to be location aware without realising what privacy has been eroded to enable that.
Makes me think of the “delayed gratification” experiments. Someone who is of means probably has an easier time delaying gratification because they have the means to figuratively “break the fast”. They also know that they have the resources to get somewhere in life. But what if you don’t? What if that “instant gratification” is all that you can expect to get for a good while?
Is the OS itself written in VBScript? (You're going to make the fair complaint that it's hard to tell where the OS stops and something "non-OS" starts. And I get that. I'm guessing (because I don't work on Windows) that the folks who support the OS don't code, for the most part, in VB.)
From the article:

“The chairman of FBH is Jean Chalopin, who, along with being a co-creator of cartoon cop Inspector Gadget in the 1980s, is the chairman of Deltec Bank, which, like FTX, is based in the Bahamas. Deltec’s best-known client is Tether, a crypto company with $65 billion in assets offering a stablecoin that is pegged to the dollar.”

That tells you everything you need to know.
There's plenty of journalistic value in interviewing him and the audience will be very interested in hearing it.

I'm not sure what being outraged over his interview is going to achieve Signalling you disagree with what he did? To protect people from his hearing his dangerous words? To punish him?

IMO hearing his rationale, seeing how he convinced people, the lies he tells himself, etc should all be analyzed and publicly scrutinized. It's not like he's promoting some new venture or something.

This is ridiculous, and also it's my favorite comment of the day, and also I'm definitely going to try it.
I remember using it. Pretty fast and accurate. My only concern was its failure to deal with verbs used as adjectives, like "bleeding edge" as VRB NN
"Capital allocators are always paid top dollar."

That seems to be unrelated to the subject matter. I could just as easily say, "senior employees are always paid top dollar over junior employees".

Presumably, "capital allocators" were paid top dollar in 1978. Somehow though, their wages have grown 1460% relative to the people who actually put the capital to work.
It's the STOCK PRICE. Say you get 100 shares of a company at a value of $100/share every year you are CEO, that's a pay of $10k/yr. Now say the value goes up to $1000 because you helped get your company there.

And now all the people come out of the woodwork to tell you how greedy you are.
I'm legit confused as to why this is a thing. Crimping ends is dead simple with pass-thru style RJ-45 tools. I don't think I'd trust these "repair" connectors for anything important.

For price comparison a pack of EZ RJ-45 (Cat6 rated) is around $20 and a pass thru crimper is about the same. Even cheaper if you go old school.
The graph of CPU density, clock speed, etc has a kink in it a decade or two ago. So, yeah, at least what we thought of as "Moore's Law" is dead, and has been for a while.

Dennard scaling broke down around 2005 or 2006.

Are we one discovery away? No, probably not. Leakage current isn't a "one trick" problem, especially as the features continue to get smaller. It's a fundamentally hard problem, and as you go to smaller feature sizes, it keeps getting harder. As we go to 3D approaches, thermal issues probably aren't "one trick" away either.
Rclone is great! I used it in a CI/CD pipeline to sync a files from a git repo to S3 for CDN distribution.
I recently bought a Prusa Mini+ (self assembly kit) and it is truly a fantastic product. The documentation is phenomenal. The step-by-step guide makes it very easy to assemble, and the best part is that when you are done you know every part and understand where to open it if eg. the filament gets stuck somewhere.
I still don't really get the benefit to this. The price per barrel they pay is going to be calculated in dollars, now it'll just be gold worth that amount of dollars. If they were sanctioned I would understand but schemes like this almost always result in a bunch of corrupt intermediaries making a lot of money. Recall the Oil for Food scandal, St. Petersburg in the 90s, etc.

We have brought 2000 muskets and 1 tank to war. We find the musketmen are not very effective, so we have chosen not to pay them very much. They just deserve less.
Could you quote where I called them lazy? Or perhaps you're responding to the wrong user?

The alternative is that you're being intentionally dishonest, I would hope that's not the case though.
Sounds like you invented your own Turbopack (by Vercel) [0], which basically does what you're talking about, it hosts a remote cache that parallel build servers can access, cutting down compile times by quite a lot.

>Meanwhile, little to no progress will be made developing techniques and frameworks to build apps that are actually better for the end user.

If thats part of the criteria then I'll take the bet provided I am alive and solvent at the time.

My reasoning is that Spatial Computing is going to substantially progress the world of open web UI using WebGPU & WASM in ways that are not connectable to your assumed native primacy of scroll bars and menu elements as stated.

While similar arguments exists between Web and client side XR applications based on FPS & polygon counts, it doesn't mean that WebXR can't "build apps that are actually better for the end user" and do it better than with existing web frameworks. That even remains true if Apple ends up being a lone immersive web standard unto itself, intentionally hobbled at the knees to promote either Experience Quality or App Store lock-in. Not ideal but not removing the ability for WASM & WebGPU to run some novel XR workloads everywhere else in which case I'll be interested to see what $1000 looks like adjusted for inflation in 10yrs although a lawyer might argue the language points upto 2041, the technical end of the next decade.
I know we don't have free speech. I just said that! It's nothing new.

The past 3 years have been rife with disinformation. Mask don't work, then they do, then they don't. The vaccine is 99% effective, then you need a booster, then you need a 2nd booster. If you get the vaccine you won't get Wuhan Pneumonia, then you do get it. The virus was definitely not made in a lab in Wuhan, then maybe it was, then maybe "we'll never know".

If you disagreed with the government line then you got censored by "private companies" collaborating with govt agents. If you gathered with others to disagree then the government would silence you with force. If you traveled more than 1km from your home the government would tax you 1500.

If the government had had enough security apparatus they would have done what we see in China. Locking people in Ikea, in an iPhone factory, in their homes.

Furthermore I noticed you jumped straight to that from "disinformation". I wonder if I should read anything into that. Better not.
I would withhold judgement. For all we know the interviewer (who is going to be much more prepared and informed than people here) is going to press him in front of thousands of people why he stole people's money and lied about it. Let's see.
> I'd also argue that being sold at a big box store is not really indicative of much in the 21st century.

If you haven't already, I'd recommend spending some time reading about what it takes to get a product on the shelf at Wal-Mart/Target/Costco. When a companies reputation relies on what it is selling, the bar becomes a lot higher.

You also don't attack poverty by randomly trying and failing to lash out at everyone who isn't in poverty

How about we talk about actually attacking poverty? Coincidentally, the way that Gates, Buffett, Bezos, etc seem to be doing with all their money and time
Might have to due with the fact that the typical company is a lot larger than they were in 1978.

Largest company in 1978 was GM they did about 53b in revenue, and 4b in gross profit.

Largest company in 2022 is Apple they did 400b in revenue and 170b in gross profit.

The list of people that can run and manage Apple is one, Tim Cook.
The list of people that can work at Apple is millions.
They’re just big, no real ulterior motive.
No offense but a significant proportion of HN readers and contributors (me included) are here for the tech news and don’t think much of PG as the essays you quote brightly illustrate.
GitHub is notorious for this. If you happen to accidentally press "e" while viewing a file, it will not only drop you into a clunky web editor, but it will also fork the project to your account in the background!
I think most understand violence to include things like intimidation, emotional abuse, and imprisonment. The expression "physical violence" is a reflection of this broader understanding - there wouldn't need to be clarification, otherwise.

I think of violence as the use of force or implied force to limit the agency of another. I'm not sure I'd call this violence but I can see where they're coming from.

Maybe ask for clarification instead of being rude and dismissive, or simply leave your sneering judgement unsaid. You may be find this view uninteresting, but I find your snark exhausting. I could just as easily say, "oh you're snarky, good for you?" Additionally GP added to the conversation, and your snark detracts.

It uses a cryptographic hash of the _inputs_ to the compiler, but there is no way to verify that the cached artifact matches the _output_ of the compiler without actually compiling it yourself.

I think it's a careful balance. You need the ability to take decisive action, but at the same time the decisive action might just kill the company. I think the solution is supposed to be that you have multiple companies and when one dies off due to stupid missteps another is there to take its place. Unfortunately it appears that companies keep consolidating and gobbling each other up, which I don't think is healthy for society.
Your version of hell is my version of paradise.
Obviously Amazon's e-commerce division is not worthless, but it often happens that conglomerates are worth less than the sum of their parts. Many activist investors have been calling to split AWS from Amazon.com, but the ad business can't be split from the store that brings it eyeballs.
Didn’t take long for the words oil or dollars to invoke the usual dog whistles.

What’s happening here is that a small country is destroying its own currency via spending and corruption which yields the inevitable inflation or hyper inflation as the government decides that this whole economics thing is overrated. They have gold reserves which may or may not be worth anything, so they’re trying to use that because they are currency is in the middle of a quite predictable crush.

There is no secret New World order that is forcing yhr United States military to go to war anytime anyone thinks about not using the dollar.

Not discounting any of the stuff that FTX has done or will come to light, but this practice of supporting “both sides” is a very common, by-the-book strategy for any special interest group or organization looking to buy influence and is flushed with money.
We use Rclone as a "disk in the cloud" solution for the otherwise stateless docker images. Works perfectly well. And the best thing is - it supports transparent end-to-end encryption.

Among all the cloud storages we've tried to use with Rclone, Azure Blobs turned out to be the fastest so far.

The bitter part of the story is that I did not know about Rclone existence until a recent year or two. I still feel ashamed about that.

At a general audience level, "Index" is on my list to read. It covers the invention of the index up to digital search engines. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/09/books/review-index-histor...

"Introduction to Information Retrieval" is a textbook which is available online https://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/ Here's a review: http://glinden.blogspot.com/2009/02/book-review-introduction...

Another textbook which IMHO is a bit lower level is "Information Retrieval: Implementing and Evaluating Search Engines". The book website is down for me right now, but you can find it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Information-Retrieval-Implementing-Ev...

Another commenter linked to "Relevant Search", which is great if you want to learn how to effectively use a search engine to improve relevance (as opposed to how to implement a search engine). It's old, but another book in that vein that was really helpful for me earlier in my career is Lucene in Action: https://www.amazon.com/Lucene-Action-Second-Covers-Apache/dp...

The more noise fills news and social media, the more I end up consuming HN instead of any other source. With GPT3 generated content now flooding the web that applies even more so. I’m going to eventually convince my non-engineering friends to join in as well. Maybe HN can apply some tagging on content so they can filter for the less technical stuff that is more accessible to them.

Thank you HN and thank you Dang and YC!!!
