I grew up around a lot of poor people and I saw much of the same.

I wish this article broke down the "food" and "clothing" categories into the specific products they are purchasing.

A little anecdata:

These families would buy brand-name sneakers and jeans for their kids, whichever brand was popular that year, whereas I was on year two of home-sewn or no-brand cheap jeans. I'd go visit friends and see boxes of brand-name Lucky Charms, Apple Jacks, etc, and be envious versus the bulk oatmeal I choked down every morning. Their mothers were getting their "nails did" regularly whilst mine had perpetual dishwater hands.

My parents didn't make much money, but they knew how to spend it wisely. Other poor families, not so much.

Another anecdata:

My father-in-law grew up absolutely dirt poor (far far worse than my parents), but did reasonably well for himself over time. He still has significant debt and inability to manage his money because he has to buy luxury goods regularly as some sort of compensatory mechanism to ensure that other people would never see him to be poor.

At the end of the day, when I look at poor people's spending habits, I see the same thing you do: they are hooked on unnecessary spending. I suspect there is something in the human psyche that makes poor people try to compensate for it by spending to not appear poor, thus exacerbating the cycle.

It's a largely self-inflicted problem.

One important thing about containers is that they isolate the process and it can not access files it is not explicitly allowed to.

If I'm getting this right, WASI is basically just POSIX for WASM. This means that it does not provide some level of sandboxing that - for example - Deno has done. When running a Deno program, you have to actively allow network access or write access to the disk. It uses the built-in stuff from V8 for that.

Any idea why they did not include these kinds of permissions in the WASI standard? It seems like WASI was not designed to be run without some sandbox.

Ask HN: I'm enjoying Apple's ecosystem. Should I be worried?
I own a few iDevices: MacBook Pro, Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad. I don't necessarily use Apple's services (e.g., News, Music, Podcast, ...) but I find the tight integration of Apple's devices so enjoyable that I wonder why no other company has even tried to do that. I like the hands-off feature, the fact that Apple's devices are "aware" of each other, so I can put my Watch to sleep mode and it automatically tells that to my MBP, iPhone, and iPad too. I like the buttery smoothness of iOS and macOS, and the fact that Apple's design guidelines has resulted in a somewhat uniform UI experience across third-party apps, so I don't have to re-learn how to use new apps. I can talk a lot about why I'm so sold on Apple's ecosystem, but the cynic geek inside me gets worried sometimes. Is it all a perfectly designed trap? What's the catch? What compelling reasons are there to "break" out of the ecosystem, say, by using an Android Watch along with my iPhone? As someone who's really enjoying the user experience that Apple provides, should I be worried?

I feel like people get too absolutist about this. At the end of the day, people should be free to do what they want as long as it doesn't interfere with anyone else's freedom to do what they want (aka do unto others, etc).

The problem with "let people do literally whatever they want" with their property is that it infringes on my freedom to live happily/healthily on my property.

If my neighbors blast music until the early hours of the morning and they don't turn it down when asked politely, is it "reprehensible" for me to call the police to enforce my village's noise ordinances? What if they're burning refuse and it spews over into my yard and ventilation? Or if they have an uncovered fire pit close to the property line?

That's not even getting into the long term effects on the community, like if people store or dispose of hazardous waste on their property (we all share the same water table!).

I don't think it's "fundamentally reprehensible." It's part of living in a free society that balances the rights of one against the rights of all.
Hey everyone!

Like many of you, I was excited to play around with ChatGPT when it launched - and quite curious to see what it is (and isn't!) capable of... Being an "Apple guy" who likes native apps that are well integrated into the system, I quickly prototyped a "ChatGPT web interface wrapper" app for Mac shortly after.

The actual chat is, of course, still the original ChatGPT web interface but with a tiny sprinkle of custom CSS and a number of native controls and keyboard shortcuts that hook into the website to make it more convenient to use (IMO). The app window can be quickly summoned and hidden with a global hotkey (my vision for this was basically "Spotlight for ChatGPT").

It can also capture screenshots of the whole conversation in a single image, which comes in handy when sharing conversations with friends or on social media. I know there are browser plugins that also do this (and do it better in some regards!) but for folks like me who just want a Mac app and a convenient way to take, manage and share screenshots this works pretty well.
It's just a hobby project after all :)

After using it myself for a while, I decided to share it with others, hoping it'll be useful for some.
You can download it for free from Gumroad (just enter $0). I originally just built this for myself and didn't even plan to publish it at all, so I'm just really excited to see that others are using it too!

I think think that is borderline dangerous advice. Most people don't have the mindset or proper understanding of the startup world.

A search says more than a 1000 words - and so do the countless questions it produces on just the problem of delamination.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gore-tex+delamination

It might work fine for a weekend hike but the stuff does not hold up to repeated strain. Eventually it'll start to delaminate at the shoulders due to wear from backpack straps, cuffs and other exposed spots. This 'eventually' will depend on what you're doing while wearing the things, as said that weekend hike won't put as much strain on it as does walking the Appalachian trail or crossing the Hardangervidda, let along climbing a few mountains. I like to use material which keeps and can be repaired if needed so for me this is a no-go. My backpacks are between 30 and 50 years old, my raingear between 20 and 30 years, my tents and sleeping bags between 20 and 25 years, my cooking gear is more than 40 years old. It may not be fashionable - who cares about fashion when you're alone in the woods - and it may not be the lightest or most high-tech but I know I can depend on it.
If there are different schools within a field, every one of them might have a handbook (so you might have a handbook on linguistic typology, and on the other hand a handbook on generative grammar - although often the topics are even more narrow), so they still are useful to get a survey of the land even when there are different schools of thought. I also do not at all share your sense that all science is crazy antagonistic and political in the sense that "institutions discourage radical ideas" - maybe that's true of some fields, but definitely not all of them (for example, the idea makes no sense at all for mathematics). Even when different opinions and schools of thought exist that doesn't necessarily mean that there's nothing that people can agree on.

But more concretely, you can just look up the authors that contributed to the handbook and if you do indeed have a degree in the field, you'll probably recognise them and their affiliations and will be able to know (or at least look up) what tradition they belong to and what this implies for the handbook.

Here's what ChatGPT had to say:

why does wealth inequality cause slowed growth

There are several ways in which wealth inequality can cause slowed economic growth:

Consumption inequality: When the distribution of wealth is highly unequal, a large portion of the population may not have the disposable income to purchase goods and services, which can lead to slowed economic growth.

Investment inequality: Wealthy individuals and businesses tend to have more access to capital and investment opportunities, which can lead to a concentration of investment in certain sectors or geographic areas. This can lead to imbalances in the economy and hinder overall growth.

Education inequality: Wealth inequality can lead to differences in access to education and other opportunities that are important for developing human capital. This can limit the potential for economic growth in the long run.

Political inequality: Wealth inequality can lead to differences in political power, which can result in policies that favor the interests of the wealthy at the expense of the broader population. This can lead to slowed economic growth and increased inequality.

Social instability: Extreme levels of wealth inequality can lead to social unrest and conflict, which can disrupt economic activity and lead to slowed growth.

Cool, this is where civil disobedience comes in and they can go through the hassle of enforcing this on me. Next thing they are going to make it illegal to work on my house myself.
Even if you do that, do you assume they have the extra money to pay you in savings? Because the lender for sure isn't increasing their liability for a house they'd lose money on if the buyer skips the first month. Also, this is illegal if you already have a PSA, so I assume you're negotiating before any sale goes pending, in which you'd probably be better off with a regular two-week bidding window and bidding war anyways.

My experience with "why don't they just X" for space stuff is that there's almost always a technical paper on it. This looks like a comprehensive review of different approaches to cleaning solar panels on rovers:

"Cleaning Mechanisms for Solar Panels of Rovers and Other Extraterrestrial Unmanned Vehicles"
https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2019-3452
Solar panel output is remarkably resilient to visible dirt. I have an installation on a seagull rookery. As you can imagine things get thoroughly “whitewashed”, especially since the top edge of the angled array is prime “standing around squawking and crapping” space. They can be covered to the point that there isn’t a clean spot the size of your fist anywhere on them and they will still be putting out 75% of their rated power.

I suspect it has something to do with the non-linear response of the human eye. You don’t have to reflect a lot of light to be perceived as significantly lighter than black, so diverting 25% of the light from the panel to reflected light makes the panel look quite light.

> Graphs from EU data about excess mortality are conspiracy theories now?

Excess mortality, by design, does not say anything about causes. In the USA for example, you can hypothesize a variety of plausible reasons for continued high excess mortality, pandemic-related and otherwise (increased crime, lower incomes, decreased access to non-Covid healthcare, increased highway speeds, et alia), but the excess mortality number itself cannot tell you the relative strengths of those causes.

> The term "master recording" itself refers to the master/slave dichotomy and has been used in the music industry with the explicit knowledge of that.

It doesn't. Audio or video mastering means to create a reference recording that's then down sampled and used as a reference when manufacturing records [0]. It has nothing to do with race. "Remastering" something means to re-release it with a higher audio quality (typically in a different medium) by using the uncompressed source material (the master) and newer sound processing technologies. It's the reason you can watch old movies in HD on Netflix.

The idea here is that the "master" would be what would be sent to manufacturing when producing a release. It's also why many SaaS use "master" to mean the exact version of the software that's in production, because it's assumed to be the one sent for distribution. It has nothing to do with race or the idea of owning human beings.

> Master recordings have also been used by the music industry as tools to assert control over artists. This practice was recently exposed in popular culture by Pharrell Williams.

There's nothing to expose. When signing up with a producer or recording label, it's common practice to exchange a portion of the rights to the master produced in exchange for (advance) payment and promotion from the label. It's just like founders exchanging equity during fundraising. I'm surprised the practice is unknown or even controversial on a board centered around VC and startups. Black owned record labels [1][2] use the exact same deals when signing up artists.

Now, Pharrell Williams is notorious on his own. Does he need promotion from a label or an advance check for his music? Probably not. That's why he was able to re-negotiate his contracts to keep ownership of his masters. Same way a bootstrapped founder won't sell part of his equity for funding. It has nothing to do with race (but maybe Pharrell, having a large audience, tried making it about race to get leverage when negotiating...).

My guess is that the haxors will get paid off by the pwned. Whether "Pompompurin" gets caught after "negotiations" remains to be seen, although the public may never hear about this.

https://www.extremetech.com/internet/341596-hacker-infiltrat...

USDoD says their asking price may appear a bit high given some users’ email addresses, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth are missing from the list. The $50k asking price was supposedly a negotiation starter and not a final offer, according to a follow-up comment on the original post. USDoD says the sale, should they find an appropriate buyer, would be facilitated via the Breached administrator who goes by “Pompompurin.”

The FBI confirmed the breach earlier this week but has declined to publicly comment on the matter, saying only that the situation is “ongoing.”
I'm responding to the point of why people don't ask "why can't I have that too?" The answer is because it's literally impossible--everyone can't be above average. I myself don't think a flat income distribution would necessarily be bad. But I think most people think garbage men should make less than the average income, and doctors or programmers should make more than the average income. We can argue about how much more and how much less, but if you take any level of inequality as a premise, you can't reconcile garbage men making $90k.

And that overlooks that whatever measures would be needed to flatten the income distribution like that would also shrink the overall pie, as in Europe. The fact is that, even accounting for what the OECD calls "transfers in kind" (such as provision of government health insurance) American households have a lot more disposable income than European households: https://data.oecd.org/hha/household-disposable-income.htm (select the "gross, incl. social transfers in kind" drop down under "perspectives").

Americans aren't irrational. The majority is deliberately voting for an economy that produces more disposable income for the top 60%, at the expense of the safety net for the bottom 40%. This feature of the economy is reinforced over time due to immigration. Europeans migrate here to work as programmers, because they can make $500k/year in San Francisco versus $150k/year in Germany. My immigrant mom just came back from a long trip to Australia the other day, complaining how "small and close together the houses were." She said "America is really a land of opportunity. You can get rich here. You can't get rich in Australia." She doesn't care about communities suffering in generational poverty in Appalachia or Baltimore. And she is a party-line Democrat voter!
Yes, exactly. That and I'm a firm believer that laws in our country should apply to everyone regardless of status. I think it's unconscionable that our leaders have no qualms about passing laws that the rest of us have to follow and then promptly exempting themselves from those laws.
