Yes, and the technocrats don't always get it right, at all.

Democracy works because nobody actually trusts the technocrats. Just like nobody trusts the investment bankers, politicians, real estate developers, police, lawyers.

However, Australasia has had a remarkable run of success via eventually doing what the technocrats tell them to do.

The will of the people supports the technocrats.

The whole premise - that double negatives don't work for humans - is invalid. Natural languages have and continue to make use of double negatives and double positives (and in some cases, the positive-negative).

Obviously if your specific language doesn't make use of it, or makes use of it in a different way to ruby (e.g. is your natural language treating the second negative as a negation of the negative, or an intensifier of it?) then ruby's grammar will seem unnatural. But that's going to be true for anyone who's trying to map their natural language onto a programming language whose grammar is different to theirs.
But you're going to "well actually" someone's comment based on the second definition when they're using the first, rather than actually communicate. Makes perfect sense.

Yes it is a lightweight thread or “green” thread. Coroutines that are scheduled by the languages runtime across a pool of multiple OS threads and are implemented using an event loop that resumes a coroutine whenever the IO it was blocked on is available, sort of like if in Node all the async/await keywords were implemented for you automatically on every IO OP.

Some languages (Erlang, Go, Haskell) have green threads with preemptive scheduling on CPU loops (though Go only preempts at function boundaries IIRC) but Pony does not, actors have to cooperate.

I don’t really want to use a 3rd party AppStore, but I’m glad they will now exist.

What I hope is that competition makes apple up their game a bit on the AppStore.

1) I hope they fix search. AppStore search is a joke, just awful.

2) Their 20% cut is too high

If they’re competing with 3rd parties I can see both these getting fixed ASAP, whereas currently they have no motivation.

I find the root cause is not so much size... and more so younger sibling syndrome.

Australia/New Zealand have a... very, very, very deep-seated feeling of inadequacy, comparing themselves to large Anglophile nations.

There's a genetic urge to "impress Mother England."

For Australia, also a deep seated desire to prove they're not an island of criminals.

For New Zealand... a deep seated desire not to be left off maps.

It's not so much size... there's just a culture of needing to be a better place to live than America. To stop people moving away.

Edit: root cause. Not benefit.
I've been using Macs since before OSX was a thing and have zero desire to switch to Linux as a desktop/laptop. I use Linux on servers without reservation and have since the late 90s.

While I can recognize the improvements Linux on the desktop has made over the decades it's still not in a place where I'd want to use it every day in that role.

1. I can't actually get keyboard shortcuts to act consistently on Linux between different applications and the desktop. Windows has developed a similar problem over the years. I have work to get done (or want to relax after working), the extra cognitive load of remembering if copy in the current application is Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Shift+C is maddening to me.

2. The same issue exists with gestures. Even if I somehow get a trackpad working sanely in Linux I can't get gestures to be consistent between apps. Between keyboard shortcuts and gestures I can do a significant amount of navigation of the system with one hand without thinking too hard about it.

3. Neither the macOS nor Finder's UX is perfect but it's largely self consistent. Third party applications almost always have a base level of consistency. I don't have to go hunt for application menus and I can use the window title at to drag windows around. It's the rare app that shits on those conventions on macOS where it seems every graphical app on Linux has wildly different UX. Looks are not the end-all of UX, too many apps/DEs on Linux focus on looking friendly without the underlying consistency to make for a good feel.

4. I've never had a laptop running Linux where I felt I could trust sleep. I'm sure I could buy the perfect system that had great Linux support. I don't even have to think about sleeping a Mac (desktop or laptop). It's been truly exceptional times where sleep hasn't worked correctly.

While I definitely have a bias towards macOS from using it so long, my main issue is I don't want to have to think about using my computer. It's a tool I use to do things. Linux as a desktop requires too high a cognitive load for me to be comfortable. I can use it and mostly configure it how I want but I don't want to do any of that.
> Without the desire to explore and expand there would be no America. If the Spanish and Portuguese would have waited to solve all of humanity’s problems first and then set out to explore new worlds the world would be a different place today.

Of all the examples you could have picked, you picked the one that was most explicitly not about desire for exploration. Europeans were not exploring the world for exploration's sake; they were stridently motivated by the promise of loot. The Spanish in particular explored the New World primarily to find new cities of gold to plunder, destroy, and loot, as was done to the Aztecs and Incas, with these entradas funded by people hoping for a share of the loot (unfortunately for them, there was nothing else on the scale of the Aztec or Inca Empires). Later, other countries sought less to actively loot the place but instead monopolize control over raw resources (beaver pelts being key in North America).

Better examples would have been, say, the Polynesian migrations that settled isolated islands in the Pacific Ocean, which the navigators would have had no reason to believe even existed.

Well Paypal and vemo are unregulated in the US, so they can do whatever they want. I think there has been some halfhearted attempts to regulate, but a after a few campaign donations, the pols pretend they never tried.

And this is why I don't suggest PayPal to anyone. I work with physical goods in a local trade industry. High value but low risk stuff. We need cash flow and Paypal is too high risk as they hold funds too frequently.

Stripe has been great to us.

> if you don't want to use lua.

But people do want to use lua. The advantage of julia is mostly speed but the disadvantages of huge runtime, long compile times and weak GC mean it isn't realistically going to be used in games much if at all. luaJIT closes the speed gap by a huge amount and is small and compiles extremely fast.

> but if you need raw perf C is right there

LuaJIT (and julia actually) have very easy FFI integration, but why not make everything in C (ignoring that actual C would be terrible idea compared to C++ for something non trivial)?

Any embedded language is embedded for a reason. I'm not sure what point you are making here.

I don't think what you describe is functionally equivalent. I suspect the main benefit of non-competes is not that you can move around from bigcorp A to bigcorp B (although that's also useful for spreading know-how and utilizing talent efficiently), but rather that ex-employees of bigcorp A form new startups without fear. Would you either fund, found or join a startup if you knew that the threat of a non-compete hangs over you or a founder?
There's just so much here in your small comment (you've burned through "nearly 10+ jobs" and you're giving advice to people?!) I can't really address this but to say you're completely wrong that it hurts people to know what they'd get paid for a job, and I think that's pretty obviously the case, as do most folks, including the good people of New York who passed a law requiring it.
A daily life parallel: You can use a lighter to put a small amount of energy into a bunch of wood to extract more energy than you put it. In the case of fusion, this energy is coming from fusing hydrogen atoms, rather than a chemical reaction.
Sketch thing is that perhaps they're try to design an hydrogen bomb that doesn't require a fission primary. Use a laser to ignite the first stage, which ignites the next and so on. What if you can get 100X boost per stage, three stages gives you a gain of 1 million.
We are significantly faster? :-) Also, block-level dedupe, scalability, perf, visualization, mounting, etc.
I have invested exactly as much in this thread as you and everyone else have.

I don't have any investment in the topic. I don't care if companies post salaries in their job postings. I just pointed out that the OP made a couple of accusations, including the implication that YC was allowing their companies to break the law in HN job postings. OP did not provide any examples.

> HN is completely capable of responding to any accusations properly.

Exactly, that was the point I made above. If OP thinks HN is complicit in something illegal, take it up with them. I didn't post unsourced accusations on HN. If I had an actual concern about YC allowing (OP's word) their companies to break the law I would contact YC about it privately.

If someone posts in a public forum that some (unnamed) companies have broken the law (without any supporting facts), and that YC maybe allowed that because of their financial interest, making them complicit, I think that person should expect pushback. Either back up the claim or back off.

My personal reasons for commenting make no difference. Questioning my motives or "investment" amount to ad hominem, and don't address the issues raised by the OP or subsequent comments.

European govermnents often have international regulations specifically to make this sort of stuff work more smoothly.

For example, a person living in Germany with German citizenship employed by a Dutch company will have to pay income taxes in The Netherlands. Similarly, they are granted social security under Dutch laws.

In some cases you fall under the employment laws of the country of residence, in other cases under those of the country of the employing company. In some cases it depends on where the work is actually done, and sometimes it even ends up being split between countries.

Fun fact: due to COVID in some cases work done in (for example) Belgium was legally considered to be work done in The Netherlands - as doing otherwise would have some nasty tax implications.

It is also not uncommon for companies to pay taxes in countries besides the one they are legally located in. For example, a webshop in Europe is required to pay sales taxes to the country and according to the laws of the country of the buyer - not the seller.
>for a balloon heated to 100 degrees (C) is roughly 1 kilogram per cubic meter

That doesn't sound right. Dry air at STP only has a mass of 1.225 kg/m^3. An 80 K temperature rise shouldn't reduce density by that much.

Other sources give a more modest value of 0.26 kg/m^3.

I'm interested in this idea as well. Seems like it would be useful for detecting unusual issues assuming you have a large enough data set of "normal" runs.
