'Amazon will go bankrupt': Bezos keeps talking about Amazon's death (2018)
All good points, but given the prospect of getting a building essentially for free (minus tax/maintenance) and having substantial one-time costs... that sounds like a pretty good deal.

Many office towers have much higher ceilings than typical apartment buildings. Pretty sure a 12" subfloor would solve many of the issues you raise. And many office towers are designed to support multiple tenants per floor.

I'm not dismissing the difficulty, just saying that the scale economics seem very attractive for a high fixed cost, low variable cost, long term annuity investment. I'm either wrong or ahead of my time, but it's not like I've got the funding to put money where my mouth is.

I don't see how that's relevant. The shift to WFH is global; these problems/opportunities are just as real in London or Sydney or Shanghai.
That's the average? There's no way to measure it, but that's around five times the US median household income, at a percentile of 97%. It could not be close to the median for HN just by probability, and it's a rich man's income.

Afghanistan has suffered greatly under the Taliban. Ask the women there how their lives are... As for Iraq, ask Iranians how they feel about Saddam? Or the Kuwaitis? Or the Kurds? Or the many dissidents that Saddam murdered...

And Ukraine didn't ban opposition parties, it's obvious you know nothing about their politics. They literally only banned parties that were ACTIVELY helping the Russians kill their own people. All the non-treasonous parties are still there. Also, every western country has special wartime laws. And considering Ukraine has had 3 different parties in power from the last 3 elections, you could argue they're among the most democratic countries...
That all sounds reasonable, except why would Polish operating costs and warranty costs to be much higher than UK?
This law was insanely helpful for my wife as she tried to establish pricing for her own small business. Going from a drone to your own boss, it's hard to wrap your head around how much more you should be charging. It's a lot. Like, multiples.

It’s $1000 to collect some semen and have it frozen for a few years (Reprotech is a cryoprovider I can recommend)). Vasectomies are cheap (<$1000 but free in a handful of states). Bank the tissue and get snipped is my advice.

Ah ok had my timelines a bit off, so it was the year they launched in 2014 :D I just remember I somehow heard about it, maybe on HN(?), then started looking through their backend codebase and was impressed by it.

One feature in particular I learned a lot from was their permission system, which I had never built before. It helped me reason about how to build permissions into an api.
Loved this article! Yes, I think this accurately described 90% of my consulting engagements!
That's where basic income comes in, hopefully.

That said, it is no by no means a certainty that increased automation will reduce the overall number of jobs or rate of employment. It has never done so in the past.
Not a problem, I think I was a little too subtle.

As is common in these discussions, I’ll reference the French system as I experienced it.

If you have to go to the hospital, that’s not billed to you.

If you see your GP, they charge you up front. There’s no copay as in the US system, the doctor just charges what they want. The doctor doesn’t keep any significant medicine on prem. If you need a vaccine, they write a script that you take to the pharmacy and return with. In either case, you submit your paperwork after the fact and get reimbursed. For office visits it’s 80% of the “reasonable and customary” changes. For medicine it’s usually 50-60%.

You can purchase additional insurance that covers more of these costs, but I didn’t see any value in it for my situation.

When I left, French insurance companies were setting up US style networks with doctors. If you saw an in-network provider, you were reimbursed more.

Only the truly indigent get “free” healthcare under the French system.
I'd expect the majority of people's encounters with big medical bills from hospitals before old age are either emergency, or childbirth related, so those are the two things you'll see young and middle-aged people complain about.

But the biggest bills are probably near end-of-life, and mostly not emergency care.

So, never having bothered with Apple hard-/software I am a bit confused... A developer can't just set a price for something? But then out of the first 10000 natural numbers, Apple semi-arbitrarily select a set of 900 "known-good" numbers that work well for prices? Like, as if the other numbers are somehow bad prices? If you charge someone $7,43 for something, the ghost of Steve Jobs will start haunting you?

That's, like... I don't even know. Feels infantilizing to me. Or what am I missing?

I doubt there can be a group more perfectly self-selected for seeing TradFi, media and the government as corrupt than today's crypto community. What they are experiencing is conformation bias, affirming things they always "knew" to be true all along, based on gut feel more than any real knowledge of how long investigations typically take.

It's kind of astonishing how much deceit the US public has to put up from our own government. It puts such an astonishing lack of trust and stability in the state for most people. And suddenly everyone's shocked that rabid conspiracy theorists have regularly started infecting "normal" politics. It's like the intelligence community kept putting a band-aid over a massive infected wound, and now a limb is about to fall off.
Probably because the US healthcare system has been so corrupt for many years that, sadly, people are taking it as the default/normal state. Going outside the US and seeing how other countries handle it is an eye-opening experience.
Genius way to harvest lots of business ideas!
The studied COVID outbreaks on planes show that this still isn't sufficient. I'm also pretty sure I got sick from the kid sitting directly behind me on the plane when I got influenza.

You can site all the statistics and propaganda in the world about plane ventilation. It clearly isn't enough to prevent viral spread (I don't care about air changes per hour or cfm or anything else, the only endpoint worth discussing is viral spread--I give precisely zero fucks about how fast the air is moving around). I'm using n95s on planes from here on out.

It’s useful to call back because if you did well but they picked someone else recruiters can often send you to some other interview with a different team. This common because a team will often say we want person X, but Y is also acceptable if X declines.

>it's a numbers game — you have to reach out broadly to get any leads

A caveat to that is that it's a little bit like job hunting. On the one hand, you don't want to stake everything on getting that feature article in The New York Times. At the same time, that doesn't mean you have to blast out the same low quality generic pitch to every email you can get your hands on.

The good PR people I know have relationships with journalists, tend to know what things I'm interested in, the type of coverage I do, etc. You're still going to drill a lot of dry holes, but there are certainly PR folks that I'll listen to if they reach out even if I ultimately decline.
>Police unions

Public unions seem to be a special case and, while I generally support unions, I can understand the perspective that public unions bring about specific problems.

E.g., a strong bargaining chip for a union is the right to strike. The idea that a public service can strike creates problems. As another example, I witnessed changes in competition and economics force auto unions to compromise for the business to remain solvent; in the public sphere there is not the same competitive pressure.

That was just a hypothetical example to illustrate how much power browser vendors have over the web; they wouldn't need to literally migrate to a different DNS root in order to effect change in this space, but I maintain they absolutely could go that far (again, hypothetically) if they all agreed and there were a sufficiently compelling reason.

Browsers always had full control over CA root programs, it's just a question of how willing they were to actually assert themselves in that fashion. I agree they've become more bold about that over the years, but what Mozilla just did to TrustCo was always an option for the major browser vendors, both legally and technically (or at least since automatic updates became a thing). DNS is also effectively a browser feature these days, as evidenced by all the browsers suddenly supporting things like DNS-over-HTTPS despite host operating systems lacking support. Given a sufficiently smooth transition path for users and website operators, browser vendors could collectively decide to alter their DNS implementations in pretty much any way they want.

> I think we disagree of the relative complexity: operating smart contracts is way harder and less proven than what I described, I think the smart contract vulnerabilities described on https://web3isgoinggreat.com/ show that well enough.

It's not really about the complexity, it's about the fact that finance is about ecosystems. How things integrate. Just like it might not seem that hooking computers together is going to get you that much, in fact it does.

By the way, the majority of crypto horror stories at the moment are straightforward fraud and corruption, of exactly the kind of thing that goes on in tradfi the whole time. There are very few that are genuinely about bugs in smart contracts.

Flash loans are zero counterparty risk, zero credit risk for the lender - because if the transaction succeeds then the loan was returned, if it wasn't returned then the transaction didn't happen. This would be possible in a closed ecosystem (but much less valuable - limiting what you could do with the borrowed money), but the number of institutions you'd have to get to agree to support a cross institutional transactional API means that it's not practically possible for tradfi to offer an equivalent kind of product.
How do you get the devices made and shipped to customers? Do you ship them yourself or are you paying someone for that too?

Regarding wash trading at least, it's easier on central exchanges, since they can do it without cost. Nobody can avoid Uniswap's transaction fees.

Version 15 of Angular was recently released.

I never worked with Angular 1.x., but try running `npm install` on an Angular 9 project and watch the deprecation and security warnings scroll by.

I'm in the process of upgrading a complex mono-repo from Angular 9 to 15. The biggest issues are not Angular itself, but all of the other tooling built around it.
That's an example of an expensive one. 4,000 for it.
I've worked with both Hadoop/Spark and Greenplum. Hadoop for pre-processing and Greenplum for analytics. There was way too much time spent on the platform and optimizations. The use of both didn't improve our workflow either, it was substantially more complex and looking back would think that full rack of Oracle Exadata would have been better. This was a bit over 10 years ago and if I could do it all today I would stick to what we are doing now with dbt and Snowflake.

All the promises of the power of these platforms was lost in the additional effort in managing the complexities. Developer productivity for the work that I've been doing is way more important than hw/sw costs. I can't think of anytime that this trade worked better where I had more focus on the sw/hw costs rather than developer time.
…and given this choice between continuing to work for free, or abandoning his life’s work, it’s not entirely unreasonable that he decided to go for the option of reneging on the perpetual license mistake, even if that is distasteful.

For the people who don’t want to pay for a new license, the outcome is the same as if he just shut mIRC down: no more updates.

So from that perspective, they’re no worse off. And the people who are happy to pay another $20, they will be able to continue to enjoy the software.
I am a bit puzzled by these comments. "It is an inspiration for many media," sure, for historical television programs, certainly not for the everyday clothing of our times.

Let's take men's suits.
They were made of heavy wool (today heavy wool is demodé, and rightly so because it is very uncomfortable), with three or four buttons (today 3-buttons are rarely seen, and rightly so, except for the 3-roll-2, which is not a "real" 3-button, 4-buttons are nowhere to be seen), the buttons were very high (the Neapolitan suit has high buttons, but much lower than the buttons on the suits of the early 1900s), and the shirts had high paper collars, which are nowhere to be seen. And the hats?

There is nothing current that recalls the clothing of those times.

The clothing in "Peaky Blinders," which is a decade older, is something like a fedora nowadays, please.

This is the next big area of research in social sciences. You must research this for national security reasons. Early research came in with the idea of mirror neurons but it went further.

Statistically you're always going to have 'hot spots' for suicide. # per capita etc. So governments trying to help setup suicide hotlines. Not much uptake on this. So they advertised the suicide hotline and suddenly has mass suicide problems.

Been replicated/reported many times, even on Canadian reserves. Cultural, racial doesnt seem to change anything.

Then you have the general crisis in mental health where suddenly lots of people think they have some sort of disorder. Lots of OCD, when really they dont have anything. But it came from advertising and awareness campaigns.

Do the flipside, how about all the motivational speakers who abuse this same mechanism but in a good way? Same with mentalists.

How about people who are being radicalized into violence? How about all the kids suddenly becoming trans? All the same umbrella which social sciences is working on.

While what you say is true, in many countries the prices for many kinds of surgeries are fixed and known in advance, even if the work of the surgeons can indeed vary from case to case, so they are presumably based on some kind of average work.
It’s simple, their finance team’s would be made significantly more complicated and costly - eg now you get to do extra FX management on your stores local sales for VAT.

I am big fan of Gpt and not a fan of restricting its usage, but i think this decision is completely correct.

Considering that, stack overflow is definitely one of the source materials for Gpt training, and probably a very significant one for like Codex.

If i ask on SO it’s because i want a human answer. What is the point of getting a Gpt one?

If I wanted the Got opinion, I can __just ask gpt__ (and btw I already do it always, now).

So the decision is very reasonable.. If anything, it’s sad that i cannot see any way in which it can actually be enforced
Agreed. On a related note, I use these smart bulb dimmers all over the house: https://www.lutron.com/en-US/Products/Pages/StandAloneContro...

I am just saying many of these things are subjective, and just because someone says "it's baggage" doesn't mean it is for everyone.
In addition, banks don't precisely lend out "money they don't have." They lend out cash they don't have against outstanding loans that are rationally expected to be repaid. If those loans are bad and the bank conceals it, or if they misrepresent the amount of those loans, then that's fraud. (IANAL)
