Germany has the strongest unions there are (at least in automotive), and yet Tesla set up shop here. France has a sizable amount of industry as well, as does Italy. When setting up plants in Europe, unions aren't much of a factor - wage costs and infrastructure are more.
Tofu has even less!
That's a possible solution but the fact it hasn't happened yet makes me wonder if there's a hard problem with even that.
Roiland's old podcast is forty times what it takes to lose any job in the world.

Ask HN: Would you watch a P2P YouTube replacement?
Imagine there is an app where you host a stream or upload a video and peers on the network automatically use a small amount of their bandwidth to mirror it.

There are also no ads. No tracking. Traffic is anonymous by default with onion routing. Has a good working GUI instead of a buggy slow JS page. And no censorship. And you can subscribe to crowdsourced filters for each type of content you don't want to see (such as spam, misinformation, low quality, etc). And there are desktop and phone versions that integrate fluidly.

Say it actually took off and had as much content as Youtube.

Would you actually use it? As a consumer, not a creator.

To make this fun, let's ignore technicalities like, "well all programs are crap now, you can't make one better", or "well the filter won't work for this reason". Just imagine it works. This is a thought experiment.

The question is simply one question: Would you use it? As a consumer, not a creator. Why or why not? Would you view the cryptographically verifiable news outlets? Would you use it to download or watch music and movies? Would you use it to watch tutorials? Would you use it to get angry about political happenings? Would you use it to work out? Would you use it to watch pro game streams?

Very cool, thank you for the insights
This is elite class war, it’s turning the low income against the high income to the benefit of the wealthy and elite. Software engineers are no doubt better off than the vast majority of people, top 3% easily when looking at income but most of them are still “wage slaves” and their luck can turn. Pitting us all against each other is the goal.

The ones that have stood the test of time are masterpieces of storytelling. They shine insight into a facet of life. They have a strong throughline, a message without moralizing. The best ones ground an experience to make it tangible to parent and child.

Where the Wild Things Are - a fever dream about rebellion and unrealized sexuality, hero's journey into the latent world and back.

Green Eggs and Ham - picky eating works on its own, or can stand in for just about any other unpleasant experience. The repetition mirrors the real-life experience of getting used to something you don't like.

Can't remember the name, about fuzzy little monkey people living in a hut? -
really cozy, about the warmth and safety of being a cuddled-up tiny person without worry.

There's no throughline in this one. The prickly porcupine stands in for a stressed mom. The fairy stands in for a child who messes up the kitchen. The solution is play all day and leave the kitchen dirty? Doesn't hold together.

I'd take out the filler "journey" bit, add in some conflict between the mom and kid, and make the ending more realistic (fairy uses magic to make icing for the cake?). That might bring it up to library-filler tier book.

To me, the art looks really impressive though. Again, no throughline - I'd expect a progression that goes from lonely porcupine -> in the wilderness -> sharing the stage -> back at home but happy
This is actually great advice, even if it seems like a disposable recommendation. Why try to get wisdom from HN comments when you can plumb the depths of the wisdom of those who have been to hell and back to get that wisdom?

Hard to find more mundane details, interested in how they power it. Do they PTO off engine with big alternator as 50 kw is about 67 hp. I would guess some kind of buffer battery or capacitors. A small lithium bank could do 50 kw for a short period then get recharged with lower powered alternator.

I believe lithium jump starters are typically around 30C discharge rate, so for a 50kw short laser pulse you would only need a 1.6 kWh battery which is about the size of two Ebike batteries. That could do a couple minutes of laser time.

This is assuming the 50kw is input power not output power, its probably output power so probably need much more input power, wonder what the efficiency of this kind of system is.

Show HN: AskJD – AI-powered, human attorney-verified answers to legal questions
Testing a new idea:

AI advancements will allow lawyers to dispense advice more efficiently by auto-drafting text-based responses for attorney review. This has the potential to dramatically reduce the friction and cost of timely legal support, but incumbent players will be slow to adopt these solutions for many structural reasons. “AI-native” legal providers will be the winners of the next decade and beyond.

Looking for feedback on this idea. Please share thoughts or better yet, test the free live beta by submitting a question.
Is the implication here that antibiotics are more commercially viable, but phages are the real solution? I'm unfamiliar with phages, but a quick lookup revealed "virus that eats bacteria" and it's like, yeah… let's do that to combat bacterial infections. I'm guessing alignment between phage/bacteria is crucial.
I saw a quote from him a few weeks ago where he did say they were overpaid.
To shed some light on this question, which we all have at some point in our lives, I recommend reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. It provided me a completely different way to see life, and whenever I forget, I go back to this book.
They're only "widespread" as a result of the last couple years, when their effect on human populations was studied at large and in the wild. They weren't widespread before 2020, when they'd barely entered human trials. "Some of the most widely used and studied vaccines in existence" is gonna need something to back it up, because we've been studying classical vaccines for decades and using them on cumulatively far more people.

It's perfectly reasonable for someone to decide that they don't want to use a novel therapy. What's weird is when other people claim that that decision means they're anti-vaccine.
Maybe a subjective thing then, as I remember enjoying the joint character development of e.g. Ai and Estraven in Left Hand of Darkness.
Do founders actually retain more equity in startup studio model as mentioned in the post?

Isn't founder in such a place just another employee?
It's all a layercake.

Everyone enters the layercake at different layers depending on opportunity/privilege/luck/etc and the idea is to ascend the layers. Not everyone chooses to play, not everyone wants to play, but the opportunity to is get as far up to the top as you can.

The higher the layer you are on, the more you get to benefit from the foundation created by the layers below and benefit from the opportunity above you.
What actual problem about writing would this solve?

This is like coming up with a plot idea and having some hired writer write it. This already existed before computers. So you're essentially using GPT as a ghostwriter, only (unlike human ghostwriters) it has no way to come with something innovative, it just regurgitates whatever it's already in its data in some way or another.

"But," I can guess you'll object, "human (ghost)writers are already writing derivative crap, what's the difference?". Exactly. We already know how to hire humans to write derivative crap, and the truly good stuff is out of the question for GPT. So what is this solving?

But what about children's bedtime stories? Well, there are tons of really good bedtime stories, lovingly crafted by good authors. Do we need automated ones written by ChatGPT?
Let's be honest, a big part of the goal of the fed action and these layoffs is to even the playing field between labor and capital. Silicon Valley type engineers especially were getting dangerously close to escaping precarity (and did in a lot of cases). Now the FAANG club gets to the join the rest of the precariat in the "I'm constantly worried about losing my job, probably shouldn't be too ballsy with my vacation or ask for more money" world. Obviously the $ values are higher than a lineworker at Ford, but lets be honest if you are a mid level dev with a family in silicon valley your standard of living is the same or below that line worker in the 70s.
I watch deer wandering past my property and their goal is to just EAT something and not be killed by something.

We're basically that with video games so it's more fun.
Interesting bits from the reading:

Communication devices lost contact.

The first turn can only be done by an experienced pilot.

No distress calls. Or passenger attempted cellular communication when they became within range.

Flight path matches similarly to Pilot’s in-home game simulator.

If an explosion occurred wiping out communication devices, it was only a matter of time before they crashed. The plane was on radar and tracked going south for several hours.

Due to the many turns, someone had to be in control of the plane in some capacity after the first turn.

It leaves me to two conclusions.

An alien parasite froze everyone. Made the pilot turn off communications. Made the pilot fly a flight pattern that closely resembles the one at home.

The pilot picked that specific flight as his last. Why he didn’t just nose dived immediately will be answered in the remaining hours he was on that flight. It would be inhumane to keep crew/passengers alive to witness their own demise. Thus I believe he was alive and alone heading south.
You are totally right! My point is that the industry’s culture encourages you to make your work your identity though, and no one wins for ridiculing people who were laid off (not saying you are, but other comments here are).

This is a great opportunity to change the industry and how workers view their job.
I used to think programmers didn't need unions.

Then that massive no-poaching collusion amongst dozens of the top tech companies in the US surfaced.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...

It wasn't just "Adobe, Apple Inc., Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm and eBay", the practice spread to "dozens" of other companies:

> Confidential internal Google and Apple memos, buried within piles of court dockets and reviewed by PandoDaily, clearly show that what began as a secret cartel agreement between Apple’s Steve Jobs and Google’s Eric Schmidt to illegally fix the labor market for hi-tech workers, expanded within a few years to include companies ranging from Dell, IBM, eBay and Microsoft, to Comcast, Clear Channel, Dreamworks, and London-based public relations behemoth WPP. All told, the combined workforces of the companies involved totals well over a million employees.

https://web.archive.org/web/20210912195239/https://pando.com...

It's actually pretty insane what's revealed in the documents, they knew exactly what they were doing, they were completely ruthless.

Anyway, now I think that we do need unions, or something, because these folks are clearly willing to do anything they think they can get away with.

Infinite amounts of bullshit generation, in an already infinitely-bullshit world! You now need defenseGPT to wade through this limitless datacreation that even IQ85 can utilize to make now-120IQ-level output. Just needs an editor.

99% will not get called, but having worked in hotels, guests have to be contacted all the time. Maintenance issue, plumbing leak, dog is barking too loud, overbooking, room type change, and the list goes on.

At franchised hotels in the US, which is almost all chain hotels, the employees at the front desk do not have the ability to email you, or even know your email address. The phone number is often the only way to reach you.

Hilton does have the chat app, but I do not think it works for hotels trying to reach customers with time sensitive information.
Great post! The thing with people that "keep defending monopolistic lockout" as the GP put it, is they can see the bigger picture here.

Did he, though? Accusations are not evidence.

I think it is universally a mistake to read accusations by the criminal justice system uncritically, given what we know about their incentives.
I’ve no doubt many billionaires are happy, but thinking you can outsmart the grim reaper is a tad sad. It doesn’t matter how rich or poor you are, we all have to learn to accept the inevitably of death. I learned to cope with death a long time ago, we all have to at some point.
Then I agree with you. Rational employees should not want to associate with unreliable employers. This ought to drive up the prices corporations are forced to pay. It should cost them actual money to disregard people like this. If employees feel pressured to associate with them despite their behavior, then it is not free association at all, it is forced association and its causes must be identified and remedied. Usually it's a lack of leverage leading to worse negotiating positions.
This kids story is too wordy and the sentence cadence is uneven.

I am a business owner as well, and share my experiences on a number of channels - social media, YouTube, and HN.

Social media and YouTube optimize for clickbait, and many people have figured out how to game these platforms. While it's possible to find useful content in a video or a tweet thread, I find that the insights here are the most unexpected and valuable, with true subject matter experts contributing in the comments.

If your goal is to build a personal brand, then you probably should be on YT and social. If you want to help other like-minded people, HN is one of the best places to do it, IMO.
They actively discourage its use: "Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gastroenterologie, Verdauungs- und Stoffwechselkrankheiten (DGVS) rät davon ab, Stuhltests zur Untersuchung des Mikrobioms zu nutzen."

In my opinion there being no evidence in either direction does not mean that you should not try it, especially if there is no downside and you have a chronic condition.

I assumed lack of evidence + non mainstream opinion = alternative medicine. Maybe there is a better word for cases like this where there is some evidence but no clear indication of causality.
Only thing missing from this is a fake demonym. Like "Farglers" or "Chairistans" or "Doughfolx."
The comment you replied to doesn't look defensive to me. Many people view the world through their own perspective and don't understand that what they might feel like a drag or depressing is enjoyable (or not a big deal) for others. You should try to view things through other's perspective.

So far longevity escape velocity appears to still be infinity. We are not making any visible progress towards an easy and real age-reversal method. If we were then we would expect to see some incremental progress with at least a few people living significantly longer. But the age record of 122 years set back in 1997 still hasn't been broken today.

You can do pretty much everything within Postgres, from ETL to Authz to serving HTML templates and GIS apps. However, that doesn't mean you should, or that anyone is seriously using it in production on a large scale (after evaluating alternatives).
Yeah the gut microbiome is the next big thing for sure. It should be easy to study. Food logs, mood logs, medication logs, next generation sequencing and maybe some metabolic profiling and we should be able to find interesting correlations.

In general, if you use your database domain (classes) in your business logic, you will have pitfalls when working with your database. This either leads to the N+1 problem (when you use lazy loading), or data structures where a relationship will be null when you try to traverse it.

(Basically, if you use lazy loading, your code will be slow and may require major refactors late in the project life. If you use aggressive loading, your code may have bugs when expected relationships aren't populated.)

I should point out that this isn't purely an EF core limitation! The "correct" approach is to always copy objects from database domain (classes) to business logic domain (classes); but this is often more effort than it's worth.
That's true. I guess what I have in mind are ORMs like Active Record, which adds all sorts of magical layers on top the query building, but still somehow gets the some of the basics wrong, like being able to select arbitrary values easily, or making OR queries an intuitive mess.
I dodged that, started getting serious with rails 3 and ruby 1.9+

No,there are still many undocumented breaking changes. I recently upgraded an old app from Rail 4 to 7 that used minimal non-rails stuff and was shocked by the corner cases.

If it's only available to a few people then those people will be rich enough to not care about any of these things. If it's available to the masses then people will get used to a portion of the population looking young.

Summer's End: John Van Stry

Teleport: Joshua T. Calvert

SOLAR STORM: Moon Base Delta Gerald M. Kilby

New genre for me. Space hard sci-fi, Well teleport was more just sci-fi.

All authors have many other books.

Correction: Summer's End was not a series, but it was clear this was written as a book 1. This book has publisher.

Looks like two of the three are "self-published". Well do you call it "self-published" if you own the publisher? I would.

The endings where professional, not cliffhangers, but just wanting for more.

Looks like I make a mistake with the first one, but three times in a row I sat down expecting to read a book that I can't.

For all I know all three of you are on HN... Yiks, As I am writing this I am know I am going to be shamed into buying the pre-orders.
Probably. But my question is a bit broader: how does making advertising more competitive actually help the average user/citizen?

If we introduce competition, and it works like it is meant to, then:

* Ads will be cheaper

* There will be more Ads

* Both the free cash for AND willingness to spend on a load of things Google gives away for free (gmail, maps, drive etc) goes down so they vanish

How does this help anyone other than people who make ads? 99% of us will be worse off if this succeeds right?

Another poster has made a decent point about privacy (since 5 mini-googles would all only have 20ish percent of the data one big one has). But that's the only prospective upside I see so far.

OP if you watch this, don’t take it too seriously (it is a joke, but with kernel of truth). But generally if you’re feeling that way it might be time to step back and focus on other parts of your life (family, friends, hobbies, mental and physical health, travel, etc).
I’m a bit confused why antibiotic resistant bacteria is so scary.

My layman understanding is that antibiotics gum up the mechanism to produce the cell wall.

Sure, bacteria may develop where the mechanism works a bit differently and is not affected by a certain chemical. But it seems like “disrupt cell wall production” is a huge target and we could probably disrupt it in many other ways. Humans lack a cell wall entirely, so we “just” need to avoid side effects in some other system.

Is the concern that studies to confirm lack of effects will take too long? Not that it’s a difficult engineering challenge? Couldn’t we be doing this research already, of finding other ways to disrupt the mechanism?
