does wealth inequality cause asset prices to go up? and what would the consequences of that be?
It is possible for wealth inequality to contribute to higher asset prices in some cases, as those with greater wealth may have more resources to invest in assets such as stocks, real estate, and other financial instruments. When demand for these assets increases, it can drive up their prices.

However, it is important to note that there are many factors that can influence asset prices, and wealth inequality is just one of them. Other factors, such as economic conditions, interest rates, and market sentiment, can also play a role in the movement of asset prices.

The consequences of higher asset prices can vary depending on the specific context. In some cases, rising asset prices can be a sign of a healthy and growing economy, as they can indicate that investors have confidence in the future prospects of the economy. However, if asset prices rise too quickly or become disconnected from underlying economic conditions, it can create asset bubbles that are unsustainable and can eventually lead to a sharp decline in prices. This can have negative consequences for those who have invested heavily in these assets, as well as for the broader economy.

Depends on your goals though I think. Since ride quality and feel is a factor, it's not objectively true that carbon is better than steel. Just that it has better stiffness. Do you want better stiffness? Well it depends entirely on what you are doing and what you want to experience.

For example, in a touring bike, you might prefer steels robustness and softer feel for long hauls. Some people might prefer carbon for it's lightness. It's all down to choice, neither is objectively better.
So if I say <any language> is in go's niche, it's your burden to disprove it?

Look, this is getting ridiculous. Go offers easy+fast tooling out of the box. Any JVM language, compiled or not, will never be anywhere NEAR go's tooling in those terms. The extra compilation layer just makes it actually much worse.

And I don't even find go particularly appealing.
> I have experience on this, and let me tell you

I also have experience on this, and let me tell you: neighbors' rights end at the property line (laws otherwise notwithstanding). I don't give a flying fuck about your resale value.

It's certainly not neighborly to be asocial but there's absolutely nothing wrong it and I'm glad you learned quickly that your new neighbor doesn't want to be disturbed.

Again, I don't care about your home's sale value. But demonstrate to me that something I'm doing on my property affects your safety and I will take action to rectify the problem. If I don't then you certainly have laws that can help you.

Yeah and its developed by Adobe which creates a walled garden around there products making file format interoperability very difficult.

Obsidian on the other hand uses open formats with open standards. The difference is NIGHT and DAY.

And if the goal is taking freedom away from the people who are using your product, or to artificially keep people using your product because you know you are making the world a worst place to live in, making that type of propriety software is not OK, even though there are plenty of misguided organizations and people who do it.

They already celebrated their earnings in the past, people got bonus or raises or promos on their "performance" using the fruits of their bad behavior. Probably there is different leadership now. The new leadership can use these things to explain any slow quarter, then they try to write off any problems they have now and combine it with this problem (and blame the old person).

You see this cycle again and again. Until companies are killed or leadership is fired, and loses their potential for future employment/mayhem, goes to jail - if there is no immediate serious personal repercussions or the company might die, then there won't be much change.

It can run "anything" ... so long as someone has set up that project to correctly compile to a wasm target. "docker build" lets you build a package out of any software, without having to know much about it. "setting up a compiler for a new project, given the source code and maybe a separate toolchain for some other target that works", is a much more involved task.

There is no world where people are just grabbing an existing app and saying "hey, I'm gonna drop this into my wasm runtime real quick"
Or unless, you know, they just don't like you for some reason but now have an excuse they can use to go after you.

The desire for velocity isn’t the part being criticized, Musk's proposed approach to that uncontroversial goal and the evident conplete lack of understanding on which it is based is.

It does, given that he is very hands on on the tech decisions and has proposed handing over the CEO job while retaining control of “Software and Services”.

It's not like it was ever a safe assumption to blindly dump core to a process' CWD. It was just a convenient option in a developer-centric UNIX mindset, in lieu of anything better.

Sometimes daemons run with a CWD changed somewhere rarely if ever written to at runtime, and presumed to primarily contain information intended for sharing. It's not hard to imagine a security-conscious daemon that's done both chroot() and chdir() into a path intended for publishing information out of, and not generally intended for the daemon to write into except by privileged users/publishers.

When that daemon spuriously dumps core into its CWD now you have potentially sensitive information sitting in the published tree, e.g. maybe the credentials of the privileged users are in that core file.
That’s a sunk cost. You can’t change the past and it shouldn’t affect your future decisions.

> Why must wisdom always be squeezed out of a rock?

Dictionary says there are 3 components to wisdom: knowledge, experience, and good judgment. Machines can help with the first requirement, knowledge, to an extent but leave you frustrated (as you note). They can even help you dig out wise chestnut buried somewhere (as you did) but then you hit the other two.

This is how it is supposed to work: armed with knowledge, you apply this and gain experience, and after a few close calls the fortunate also develop good judgment, informed by experience of application of knowledge.

You want all that squeezed out how?
thanks. I'm aiming the laser dot at the stone, near the flame but not AT the flame.
New Idea: Android tablet connected by wire (PoE?) with tap-and-pay NFC giving out a unique Wifi QR code. And that will give you pay-per-use-or by-minute internet at every booth.

The lawn care equipment noise complaints are so common, that for example in NYC you have a dedicated portal to filing just those complaints.

https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01101

Edit: just to illustrate how stringent the laws can be I’ll paste from the link:

“You are never allowed to use equipment that makes unreasonable noise.

If a park is 300 feet or more from any residential buildings, park staff are allowed to use equipment between 7 AM and 8 AM.“
"Vague and abstract" and "a warning" are the minimum-effort responses. Therefore they will be found in the greatest number.

With the amount of incorrect comments I see on HN, definitely not. I'm not saying that I'm not included in that group, but I think we all are
Discretionary enforcement is often selective enforcement. Biases are very hard to overcome. With as many laws as we have on the books, clarity of law and unbiased enforcement is a worthy goal. Maybe you never get to 100%, but we should not be okay with not trying for that ideal or setting that expectation.

Would that legislators considered it their job to curate the law books, meaning removing and trimming laws, not just adding new ones.
That's true.

I definitely like the shorter line, but the reduced friction from not having to unpack your bags with laptops, take off your shoes, and walk-through scanner instead of pose-for-the-scan-then-wait scanner is worth it alone, even if you do have to wait in the same line.
I end up using the bags I get (from food delivery, shopping for fruits etc) as garbage bags or dog poop bags. So I reuse the ones I have. But they still last 1000 years in our environment to save me a minimal amount of convenience.

Still you only offer money and not your body like the victims of your money will lose. Again, it is easy to espouse aggression when you are not privy to physical harm from the consequences.

Furthermore, this point has nothing to do with being an apologist for any country. Both Ukrainians and Russians (and others around the world) will suffer more based on what you and the foolish leaders of NATO desire. It is based on ignorance, greed, and simplistic thinking, which are all poor reasons to promote more death and destruction for the people you want to help.
> that coupling became the downfall when the computer hardware moved faster than Amiga software could be brought along.

Both hardware and software moved ahead while Commodore invested in the wrong things. Amiga was late to adopt VGA monitors and PCs quickly surpassed its capabilities. When I mentioned porting AmigaDOS and Intuition to 2/386's, it would be to keep the OS compatible at the C source level as much as possible, with workarounds for hardware when it's different, but always at OS API level so that non-game software (or non-Amiga-like games) could be ported from source.

I don't think it'd have saved Commodore or the Amiga (I think the Sun deal, where Sun would sell 3000/UX boxes was a better bet for that, or maybe not ditching the CBM 900 but, instead, building Amiga with Coherent instead of AmigaDOS).

Anyway, it'd have been fun.
Have you ridden aluminium bikes in a way that lets you compare? I have a steel and an aluminum frame, but they have different applications so I can't compare. I do feel more harshness in the bars on the ALU frames, like sharper peaks in vibrations.

I have seen personal blogs where any post that's older than some threshold automatically gets a banner tacked on the top that says something to the effect of "hey, this is an old post, things might have changed since then". Adding something like that to a Wiki seems like a reasonable idea.

yes. Those still exist; still free.
That's a fairly long response not to answer a very simple question.

> when someone says they’re a doctor in the middle of giving medical advice, they can’t play the “but I have a PhD card” or “free speech” because the recipient of that message would reasonably assume due to common colloquial understanding that that person is a licensed medical doctor (unless the PhD somehow clarified this in a reasonable way).

I don't see why in this scenario the burden would be on the PhD to offer clarification. Again, the meaning of the "D" in PhD hasn't changed in the west since the Middle Ages.

Medical Doctor can simply state his affiliation to his licensing board; to me some organization claiming ownership of a term in common usage singe the Middle Ages screams first amendment violation.
I’d be careful calling this a disease.

The fact is, for many people having a home that they build equity in is the closest they’ll ever get to some kind of “savings” account. When the home is paid off in 30 years they no longer need money saved up to buy a retirement home because they will have full equity of their house which may have gone up substantially in value. They could then sell this property and downsize and continue to live off the proceeds from the equity they sold.

If homes weren’t investments, it means people would have to be a lot more serious about saving and investing money for the future, and frankly that just isn’t going to happen at scale given human behavior.
I'm sorry you are so triggered by this.

This didn’t affect someone whose phone was working perfectly. It changed it so your phone got slow instead of crashing.

> The idea that large corporations are rampant tax cheats is completely false.

And yet, large corporations, especially banks, are continuously caught with blatant abuse of the tax code (e.g. the "cum ex" scandal in Germany, where banks outright looted the government) or their customers.

The problem is that the fines are way too low. What does a large corporation care about a fine of even a billion dollars? Spread out over the time of the violation, that's petty cash, and as long as the execs don't have to go to jail, D&O insurance will pay any personal punishments.

There may be a disconnect between HOW the stalker found the vehicle, but it's pretty hard to claim he isn't a stalker, and the stalking didn't precipitate the twitter changes.

From the Washington Post (which hates elon and self admittedly didn't publish all the stalkers crazy claims):

"The car’s renter, Brandon Collado, confirmed in interviews with The Post that he was the person shown in the video. He also provided The Post with videos he shot of Musk’s security guard that matched the one Musk had posted to Twitter.

In his conversations with The Post, Collado acknowledged he has an interest in Musk and the mother of two of Musk’s children, the musician known as Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher. Boucher lives in a house near the gas station.

In his communications with The Post, Collado, who said he was a driver for Uber Eats, also made several bizarre and unsupported claims, including that he believed Boucher was sending him coded messages through her Instagram posts; that Musk was monitoring his real-time location; and that Musk could control Uber Eats to block him from receiving delivery orders. He said he was in Boucher’s neighborhood to work for Uber Eats." [1]

>If you're asking why they don't add them I've provided some speculative reasoning based on my experience in adjacent industries.

See, I don't see it that way. You didn't state it as "here are some possible reasons". You formed your argument as "this is why what you are proposing is wrong". Without actually being an authority on it and knowing if that's true.

Neither am I. But we should be able to discuss hypotheticals and come up with ideas as to possible solutions and their drawbacks. I'm sure there are very good reasons why they don't include them. But, having worked in the aerospace industry although nothing to do with NASA or spaceprobes, I find arguments about budget or building just to the mission unsatisfactory. I'm pretty sure there is an engineering challenge that makes it unworkable or unpractical and you and I are just ignorant to it.

There are obvious benefits to the ability to clean solar panels on Mars. And Space probes tend to be more over engineered than people give them credit for. Yes they are built to extreme margins to optimize capability for low weight. But that capability is great. We are talking about the same engineers who replaced the perfectly workable airbag solution for the skycrane which was far more complicated a solution because it promised to land the vehicle softer and give it a better chance of making it to surface unbroken.

So I can only conclude that there is some kind of engineering problem that prevents it. Maybe Mars dust is more like Moon dust that dirt on Earth and its akin to tiny razors? Brushing it off could damage the solar panels.

That's just me spitballing.
Since Shelly v. Kraemer in USA it's illegal to write zoning code that explicitly excludes poor/black people from an area. The main way it is enforced now is by writing code that prohibits anything but single family homes in an area or setting a minimum lot size to indirectly force prices upward. Residential zoning isn't all bad in theory but it is still an effective tool for creating housing areas that are segregated by class.
The yaml for my home test cluster takes up more lines than the full orchestrator and config I wrote at one of my past jobs to manage a 1000 VM cluster. Kubernetes might well make sense "at scale" but for anything of moderate size I can't help but feel it's massive overkill.
This is exactly what contractors are supposed to do. The whole point of contracting is that it is a market for labor. The only bad part of the story is that the guy needed two phones, he should have been able to do it all on a single phone.
