I'll admit I was a bit snarky but my thanks was genuine - I enjoy learning why people believe the things they do.

Anyways, my final argument is if an individual asset of a company doesn't directly generate revenue yet increases company profit, would it not be "un-capitalistic" if that company were to extinguish that asset? It seems to me that throwing away profit would be antithetical to that definition of capitalism.

The $30k espresso machine in the Google office does nothing to generate revenue, however it helps Google become more competitive in the labor market which (at least they think) increases profit. None of these situations are edge cases, they are just natural outcomes that exist when people are free to compete. If it is expected that a decision will lead to a profit, it seems straightforward that one would make that decision.

It was fun discussing this with you, I hope you have a good day.

What is the difference in accountability and ability to get to the bottom of who's responsible, between AI and someone just hiring an offshore content farm to write crap content?
Thanks for the update on that. I went back and checked and you're correct ESPN+ is there for Live TV. I just also happen to pay for Hulu Live, so it gets a bit buried. But it is in fact there.

I then went and checked Disney+ and you're also correct. Some of the Hulu content is now on that app. But yeah, its almost like completely random content was moved over, so it seems like its just easier to go to Hulu for now. But it's been clear for a while that Hulu is dying slowly.

For a while it seemed like Hulu was the path to killing Netflix but that floundered out years ago. And now everyone has their own service, so it seems very unlikely its worth trying to rebuild off Hulu at all. We'll see how Disney deals with the more adult/dark content on their platform but that seems like a better problem to solve than having 3 different platforms for streaming stuff. I do wonder if they will care at all about live streaming though; it costs a lot of money and idk how good the margins are.
I mean, sure, I'll sign up for the whole shebang: smart device, subscription for consumables, automatic service. Whatever. But it has to work, dude.

If you're in the business of selling a dishwasher, you are going to suck at the business of selling dishwasher tablets / month. It's going to be more costly, you're going to miss dates, you're going to cock it up when I change my credit card.

There is a serious trust issue with these people. I don't think they can do this other thing. I really don't. They lack the organizational expertise. Plus the software they have is shit, so I don't trust them there either. They probably make a damned nice dishwasher motor and nice rotor arms and they can put it all together, but I don't trust them with the other stuff.
Can weigh in here, we use pgtyped heavily at work and it’s really good. There are some constraints with the type inference on complex queries, but it’s a decent trade off IMO.
oh thats sick! let me get in touch with the team. looks like a fun project
A little assertiveness can go a long way. "I was not made aware of this fee, so I am only paying X" and walking away should work.
I am currently in Serbia. It is not a part of EU, so there is no smoke ban at all (neigbour Bulgaria is EU and has at least some restrictions). There are no such things that "smoke or non", the whole venue is usually smoking. There are some places with zoning (usually those that has children in mind) and very rare ones totally non-smoking (expats are keeping a registry of those on Google Maps). It is quite shocking and makes me doubt libertarian ideas.
For reference, I think npm does this too, and IIRC, they just symlink the utility name.
I have a lot of respect for someone doing that. I really tried to make my CV work in latex and failed. But for anything I do latex in better than the alternatives I have tried, word, markdown, html+css, powerpoint. All of these might be better in 90% of cases, but the last 10% is where latex delivers and they don't. Still, I almost always agree with latex haters. I do not like using it. But until something comes that can do all that latex does, well there is latex or nothing.
Thanks for your work - found out about cal.com a few weeks ago (don't remember how maybe HN or a random cal.com link just wondering what it is [initially thought it was uc berkeley related]) and it seems to work well for my intended purposes. I'm just curious what the intended use case is for a payment adaptor - it's not something that's come up for me yet. Edit: Is it just having folks pay for the meeting time or more than that
Care to elaborate? What activities or policies from Eurasia/BRICS+ are you referring to?
Yes and no. In case of changes to the runner environment and complex pipeline with many manual jobs, expiring artifacts, etc, it's easier to make an empty commit than to go around deleting what is obsolete and trying to find a working sequence
Ideally, moral value would be signaled by market-based price discovery. Economic progress is one of creating markets for more things, not fewer. Markets for some things but not others reeks of special pleading.
Power centers have to contend with the largest source of power, the human population of the world. They go to great lengths to prevent it from being coordinated by dividing populations, and they do exercise true power, but at the end of the day they still have to react to what people want and do. If people begin to use bitcoin and the like, they'll find a way to preserve what they can of their power in that environment. They're not omnipotent, they don't win every fight they take on.
Also again, this is not a scam against me. I am tech savy guy, I know who this person is, sometimes accidents happen... They are not asking me to send them extra money or anything, just to reverse the original transaction.
You're right - I should have said founder or business owner instead of CEO for that option.
Very true. I think I'm hung up on the discrepancy with animations around this topic I eventually came to realize were extremely exaggerated. Like I think I saw a cartoon where like a chunk of the earth was removed like a lobotomy sort of thing, a huge sector of mass.

I realized much later that these bombs simply do not have that kind of power as terrible as they are. I also later realized that asteroids can do some major serious damage on a whole other magnitude beyond nukes. The size of an asteroid crater is way beyond the crater size of nukes

Good to know if true. I ran into that particular issue only about 6 months ago, so I'm not sure about long gone. I'll definitely double check when I have the chance and I've updated the prior comment to reflect that it may be outdated.

edited for brevity. You can't edit the recordings of the black box but you could certainly doctor recordings from either side. It mentions that in the article that it doesn't mean anything nefarious but rather just a matter of fact. If they were edited before release, its probably to cut out silence or something. I wouldn't go conspiracy theory here.

> So I needed an insurance policy.

This is the root of it. Those who wish for greater state control of speech feel that their perspective is ascendant to the point that their own core values are protected, and they can do without the expensive insurance policy. For a given set of core values they may be right. But I think the resulting level of authoritarianism will exceed most of their expectations. That makes me an insurance salesman.

I don't know what they did exactly, but it sounds way, way better than regular Wine. Like, it's a coin toss whether a game works in regular Wine at all, and another coin toss for whether it works well. Even the Steam client is ultra glitchy in Wine. Which makes sense, it's really hard to emulate a Windows environment.
Or perhaps making a microwave believe it's a steam oven?

So, eliminating markets for people was a bad thing?
You can only do that if paying cash. And if you do, what will effectively happen is that the money you intend to leave as tip will go toward the fee instead.
I have newer GE washer/dryer w/wifi and it's handy to see notifications popup and stats, but it was a hassle to setup. Download app, create account, sign into another app that doesn't like to retain your id/pw, and spend 10-15 minutes per machine while it figures out how to connect. Manufacturers fail to show people with a single sheet of instructions or a QR code linked Youtube video how to get this setup.

A local restaurant tired a wellness fee (it was actually a small %) in my area (Midwest USA), got a ton of bad press, traffic when I went by looked like it had dropped off significantly. They survived but according to the manager I spoke to only because they were owned by a restaurant group that had income from other restaurant without a wellness fee.

They made a big public statement, emails, flyers, about reverting the fee and so on and eventually recovered.

This also doesn't reflect my experience. I have very minimal issues with the Nextcloud instance that I have been running on a small fanless computer at home for several years now.

It has even passed the non-technical spouse test, which is important!

It is used for files storage/sharing, backups, photo backups, recipes, calendar (caldav), contact (carddav), todo lists, bookmarks, webmail (rainloop to an externally hosted imap provider), and other stuff, all from Linux, Mac OSX (spouse) and iphones.

My biggest complaint is that there isn't an LTS version, and since you can't skip versions when upgrading, I feel like I need to make sure I update every 3-4 months, even though it isn't publicly available on the Internet (it is on my local network which is always available on all devices thanks to wireguard)

Yes, we do have to worry about excessive writes.

I had a Samsung SSD - chosen because Samsung flash storage is generally better than most - connected to a SATA to IDE adapter, which was connected to an IDE to SCSI adapter, installed in a VAXStation 4000/30 (AKA the VAXStation VLC). It has 24 megs of memory.

https://twitter.com/AnachronistJohn/status/12947258190387527...

In less than a year, the SSD was dead, and I'm sure the reason was that I was compiling constantly on that machine, so writes to swap were constant.

I now have a spinning rust 500 gig SATA drive, and it has been fine for the last three years without problems.

In "real" science, ie stuff that has been proven by experiment, when new understanding is obtained the old stuff remains valid at laeast as a special case (otherwise it would never have been confirmed by experiment in the first place).

So, while we now know that Newtonian physics breaks down in some circumstances, where relativity and quantum mechanics are needed Newtonian is still good enough for most everyday and a lot of not so everyday applications (like sending probes to Mars).

Ask HN: Can someone get Kindle to use position rather than page count?
Sorry, but I think I've reached the breaking point on this :-)

I am beyond bothered by the fact that the Kindle app can't figure out that if I use one font size on the reader, and a different font size on the PC, and yet another font size on the mobile device that the page numbers are not going to work out. It SHOULDN'T be using page numbers - it should be using character or word count to establish the back-end marker of my progress.

Well, typically, I'd say, "A proposition P(x) of first order logic describes a particular number iff, for all numbers x and y such that P(x) and P(y) are true, x = y." Then, your system of description is exactly as powerful as your system of logical axioms. But I think you're correct in that you can construct a number where it's undecidable whether it has such a description. That doesn't mean that the set of undescribable numbers is ill-defined (relative to your axiom system): it just means that you can't always answer whether it contains that number.
exactly.

Just yesterday I was playing with chatgpt and found an error between the code it generated and the explanation of the code. It contradicted itself.

However when I caught the error I asked it to further explain since it appears to contradict the code it generated. It then came back with an apology and it did state it made a mistake and was able to understand the error and fix it. Although I was specific about the mistake. I might try again later today to do the same test and see if it learned or generates the same error again .If it does I will ask it to confirm that its explanation and code match versus pointing out the error.

Strange, I see other sites list the US recidivism rate as one of the highest.

> An estimated 68% of released prisoners were arrested within 3 years, 79% within 6 years, and 83% within 9 years. (https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/measuring-recidivism)

Norway is often claimed to be one of the lowest in the world at ~20% within 5 years.
Since I'm already in the Google ecosystem, I purchased a chromecast instead. CC's sport apps for most major streaming services, a decent ten foot interface and if you don't mind telling Google what you're up to, a voice search option. Although I wish it spoke wifi 6e just to get the device out of congested frequencies, many chromecasts also support ethernet. And you can of course dedicate a network segment or vlan to IOT devices and lock down their access however you like.
"I switched jobs" lets you plan, eg a small gap in unemployment to reduce missed paychecks or to minimize chance of needing COBRA.

"My employer laid me off" doesn't and adds on the implications of a lay off in your field of work, so you get to start your search after being unemployed and possibly in a field with many others looking for jobs.
> Hosting is commoditized; if your host becomes a problem you can migrate.

Not so when you are using custom offerings from a hosting company. OP specifically mentions "Nextcloud office suites". How will he migrate that?
Thanks for the insights!

> It's hard to say. I would argue that yeah, that baseline tip %age is creeping upwards in the US at least, though the rate at which is hard to quantify.

I misread this at first and thought that it was saying the recommendation was to tip at a percentage equal to your age, which I found intriguing. It's certainly a lot easier for me to afford a 29% tip right now than it would have been ten years ago when I was 19, and that trend probably holds for most people, but age isn't _that_ accurate a proxy for wealth given that everyone gets old, but most people don't become rich.

> I wish we in the US could collectively agree that this culture of tipping is (imo) a net negative for everyone involved. But with an economy looking over an uncertain horizon, and the recent bottom-to-top wealth transfers facilitated by the chaos of covid, I think the simple act of throwing a few bucks to the service worker will remain the average American's daily act of "helping the little guy" regardless of how real that benefit truly is.

I strongly agree with you that tipping is overall worse for both workers and customers compared to guaranteeing proper compensation and then adjusting prices to reflect this in lieu of tips, but even as someone looking to "help the little guy" it feels like I don't have any significant ability to improve the situation, and I ultimately don't think it's right for me to withhold tips to try to pressure companies to pay their workers better. It just doesn't seem like it should be my choice to weaponize someone else's misfortune, even if I think it might help things in the big picture.

I don't think its quite that simple without knowing who specifically was laid off, tenure, specialty, for what reason, etc.

I cant imagine anyone would hire people with the intention of laying them off, so I can't agree with that conclusion.

I'd guess they hired with the intention of growing the company and for a myriad of reasons that didn't happen. Expansion and contraction are normal cycles in a company.

It's actually really easy to verify someone attended/graduated. It's easier than an employment reference since there's usually someone to answer the phones in the Registrars' offices and this is exactly why they exist.

What's a bit trickier is verifying the University exists. There are fake colleges where you pay for a bogus degree and subscribe to their bogus registrar service for a period of time so when employers conduct a degree check they answer the phone and lie for you.
