You seem confused. The problem here was deregulation of safety standards.

This deregulation was thanks to lobbying, and strike breaking; _not_ regulation.

Hope this is clear, and not setting off your 'smug' trigger; because what I feel right now is fury, not smugness.

I don’t have much faith in legislation solving this, so from a potential-homeowner point of view, the solution seems to be: move to places that aren’t “hip” and fly under the radar of the investor class. Move to the Midwest, the South, the Rust Belt. Get away from the Austins and Atlantas.
No, it's just shifting the cost of dealing with waste (pollution, sound) back to the producer rather than allowing them to make it someone else's problem. The cost isn't high, it's what it needs to be to run the operation in a way that's agreeable to the everyone in the area.

If you don't want to operate a business that deals with those costs, move or don't build a data center.
Pretty sure Kicad Services Corp is a big factor in the tighter release cadence. Seth Hillibrand and co have done the best job of “Red Hatting” Kicad and becoming a professional services org that supports Kicad users for a fee.

Also helps them guide and drive development of wanted features. I’m convinced there’s no way ODBC support would have happened without it. That’s a feature no hobbyist or maker would care about- it’s specifically geared towards people who collaborate with other engineers and component sourcing departments.

How much of that 5k is you paying amortization though? If you're just patiently waiting for your mortgage to naturally end itself after 20+ years instead of actively making extra payments to reduce how much money you'll pay to the bank in the long run then yeah, it's just renting with extra steps.

(Note: This might differ greatly depend on where you live. I'm in the EU, not sure how this scenario works in the US.)
If you secure a loan for or lease a car, isn’t insurance mandatory for completion of the transaction? If so, how are most people still driving Kias off the lot if they can’t get insurance?

Ora are people getting insurance and finding their policies unrenewable?

This is only happening because our long term commitment to highly restrictive building zoning, building codes, and local ordinances has greatly limited the amount of housing available. If the amount of housing available were around what is necessary to generate what is known as market clearance where there is plenty of supply for demand at all levels then this would not happen.
Seriously, as a kicad dev this is a neverending nightmare of subjective complaining. There was even an old-timer going on a rampage recently on the kicad forums about how PADS was the most superior EDA tool in the world, why aren't we a clone of PADS??

> Definitely not hundreds. But yes, they need to be tested

Most likely hundreds. Each individual external service will easily have tens of conditions (a multitude of invalid input states, a multitude of malformed response payload states, a multitude of expected upstream error conditions, network interruption, port exhaustion, expired/invalid certificates, failed authentication/authorization, timeouts, etc., etc.) and when multiplied across them it won't be long before you have hundreds.

> Tests are not written to document behaviour, but to validate that your program does what it's supposed to do

A common misconception, but no. Tests would serve no purpose if you had no reason to document expected behaviour. Correct that tests also allow the machine to validate that what the documentation says is true, solving for the problems of the past where documentation and implementation would regularly fall out of sync. That is, indeed, the value proposition over writing the same information in Word instead.

Your documentation doesn't end there, of course, just as the documentation provided by a static type system is not the be all and end all of your documentation. But documentation it most certainly is.

> Existing testing practices all but enforce writing useless tests

The invented practices you have presented throughout the discussion no doubt lead to writing useless tests. It is, however, not clear why you hang on this invention of yours – outright ignoring what you are being given. Is it some kind of defence mechanism to protect the methods you have developed for yourself?

> The cleaning fee on AirBnB is actually one that has some logic to it.

Yes, but a common phenomenon lately is you arrive and not only is there a significant cleaning fee, but there's a list of chores on the "house rules" you're required to do before leaving that should be part of that cleaning fee.

People have occasionally been asked to mow the lawn.

This is the purpose of "Code of Conducts", to silence dissent. They are sold to you by people who say they'll only silence the bad sort of dissent, but lo and behold the definition of 'bad' isn't locked to the seemingly reasonable scenarios with which CoCs are promoted. Try to oppose the CoC now that you see what it's really for, and the CoC will be used to silence you as well.

Honestly, I'm kind of drawing my own conclusions about the financial system based on what I've read. I'm also almost embarrassed to reveal my reading list, as it reveals me as a dilettante, with an undergraduate-sophomore understanding of economics. However, I am very happy and presently financially secure with a good life, so at least my choices about spending aren't completely stupid.

I would say these are the sources from which I draw a lot of my opinions about the financial system:

- Max Dama on Automated Trading (57-page PDF written by a quantitative trader)

- Out-Sourced Profits: The Cornerstone of Successful Subcontracting by Dr. J. L. Hart-Smith (memo written by a Boeing employee about why Boeing was failing to make money and simultaneously driving down quality in the airliner industry)

- The Big Short by Michael Lewis

- Hipsters on Food Stamps Parts I-III by The Last Psychiatrist (blogger whose blog, "The Last Psychiatrist", is my favorite source of writing and whose advice I orient most of my life and behavior around. Many of his other articles touch on the credit-based financial system)

- WTF Happened in 1971? (Website showing trends in American life after the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, it's not necessarily well-researched and they draw a lot of conclusions that more experienced researchers would contradict)

- Wikipedia (some great reads on the history of the joint-stock corporation, dollar, credit card, 401k, home loan, auto loan, credit score, etc.)

There's a lot of other things I've read, but they're not explicitly about the financial system. I feel very strongly about the structure of civilization and the process of creating engineered goods, and I find that most of my complaints about problems with those two things in modern times resolve back to "the people incentivizing work to happen in modern civilization are amoral, corrupt, and actively destroying the historical incentives that people had to work towards ends that could be described as 'common good'". This leads to my constant sniping about the credit system and 401ks.
I don't understand how AGPL is a good fit for the first stated use case.

>Case 1: You fork our code to build your own billing system at your company. It’s awesome and we would be grateful if you could take some time to share your code as well, as it could help other companies. This is _strongly encouraged but not required_, as we understand not all companies can afford to do this.

And later in the quoted explanation of AGPL:

> "If you run a modified program on a server and let other users communicate with it there, your server must also allow them to download the source code corresponding to the modified version running there."

If you fork the project, your company's customers are communicating with your forked code. So are you required to publish your forked changes? Only required to share the fork with paying customers? Or as your desired case states, not required?

(In any case, Lago looks very cool. Thanks for pushing forward the conversation on open licensing!)
I definitely still get beat up most of the time. Also, within black belts there can be a lot of variation. But to your point, you have enough tools now that if you execute properly and lead a high belt down your path, you could catch them. That simply would never happen until 3-4 years in (and I'm not counting life long wrestlers who show up with 'no' BJJ experience).

A big turning point for me was when I would lose and could walk backwards the whole roll in my head and see the root error. BJJ is a lot like chess in this way. When you start you just get beat and see the move that beat you. As you get better you see the chain of events that lead to the finish.
> The biggest mistake Cox has made is assuming people would at least read the three blog posts and debate the topic as presented.

Yes, I agree he was perhaps a bit naïve about this. On the other hand: I also don't really know how to do this type of discussion better. Russ obviously went out of his way to come up with a nuanced solution, which one could reasonably disagree with, but I have the impression many people didn't bother reading it, especially on HN here but also in the Go discussion about it. This thread is full of basic misunderstandings, or, if we want to be less generous about it, misinformation. I don't think most people do it on purpose, it is what it comes down to in the end.

One of the really great things about internet discussions is that anyone can join in. One of the bad things about internet discussions is that anyone can join in.

Ah yes, It has a blue checkmark. We can safely disregard good ideas, strong philosophy, and objective reasoning. Humanity is screwed if your delineation is whether or not someone wanted to make their profile look stronger. Now if they don't have a blue checkmark, we can safely assume whatever is said by that profile is gospel so long as it aligns itself with my ideological positions. It is wonderful. We don't even need to think for ourselves anymore when we have thought-leaders thinking for us.

YC video about launching and launching again.
Public developer to the rescue.
It's like "leave when the free soda disappears" - people who have "been around long enough" learn to notice the signs that tell them it might be time to start looking.

Others (and this is entirely valid in my opinion) see and notice and decide to ride it down all the way to the ground; this can be valuable also as a dying company is likely to promote anyone who remains; title inflation is a real thing.

Or another way to look at it - it's kinda extreme that a single straw would break a camel's back.
Watch the video again. She offered solution. Look into papersthat expound necessary to current model not keep on making science so complicated. If any of tbose papers are real and correct, they would discovered something. As of now...that records stand at ZERO. It burns away useful research grants that would be better put into useful paper research but alas, big names in particle physics dictate more money need to fund their hypothesis because around the corner they will make the discovery....if not....who cares.

Zero accidents.

My issue isn't about the accident.

My issue is that there is a group trying to use the accident as political leverage, which is totally fine, except that they are being completely dishonest about the magnitude of the disaster.

That's almost certainly why the original post got pulled, there is a focused campaign on blowing up this event to "great 21st century national tragedy" when in reality there are hundreds of environmental disasters on this scale annually, and you don't hear about it because the actual environmental impact isn't that large and it's not a politically charged event.
That's interesting to hear. Is it only certain teams that can do that? It thought Microsoft it's doing some interesting things but I didn't think I could work there because I'd be starting to from scratch with Ms tech, like even having a workflow on my own computer
Twilio to Lay Off 17% of Staff in Second Round of Cuts
I got laid off right after 9/11 and I was lucky enough to get an offer from the CEO at a very small company who I knew from prior work--and didn't get so much as a nibble anywhere else. Never earned as much as my relatively modest comp of the prior decade. Then 2008 rolled around and that didn't seem the best time to be beating the bushes for something else. But finally landed something new with someone else I knew in 2010 and that set me up pretty reasonably.
This is just justification to charge higher rent.

> In my humble opinion, having used Twilio extensively for over a year, it is an awful service.

> They will happily take your money and report that SMS are being delivered when they're not.

This is an industry issue. You can request SMS delivery indications, and the carrier can send you delivery indications while dropping the messages. Or an intermediary might do the same thing. There's no way to ensure you only get delivery confirmations from the phone, so the delivery confirmation doesn't mean much. (Often, requesting confirmation results in better deliverability though)

If you can track delivery yourself, because a user is expected to use the message right away (verification), you should really be running multiple providers and picking the provider to use based on success and costs.

All the sms providers will tell you that they have global coverage, only use direct routes, and that they're the best. But they're all lieing. I ran a global SMS (and voice) verification service with 5 SMS providers, and when a major provider had a big outage, their success graph went to zero, but every other provider's graph dropped significantly too --- they all had some routes through that provider.

"Random hypotheses (here particles) are not good science."

One of the points I expected when she was showing the graph of predictions and how they shift as we get more data is that while individual theorists may be making testable predictions, the sum total of the field and all the various predictions on offer ends up combining to produce a prediction of essentially everything. The net result is that you don't get much more than that out of the whole process. That's not 100% true; there is still an aspect of exploring what the math landscape permits. But it's much closer to 100% true than we should be comfortable with.

Especially with the repeated history, the very repeated history, of some specific hypothesis being falsified (such as SUSY) and the reaction being to just move the goalposts. Again, individually, each such action may be justified, but taken as a collection of all of them, it becomes difficult to distinguish from the way that you can easily justify breaking the world into earth/air/water/fire elements; every time an observation seems to contradict a previous theory you just adjust the 4 elements theory to fit. It's the same basic procedure that kept such theories aloft for centuries when we now easily recognize them as just absolute garbage. Not just because we have better theories, but because when approached with a modern scientific mindset such things can be annihilated easily, being obviously wrong and false even if you don't have a better theory immediately on hand to replace it.
The level of ignorance around stablecoins in the comment section is outstanding. Paxos issues BUSD and USDP both of which are heavily regulated by the state of New York. It’s extremely transparent with regular, high quality audits. The standards of Paxos is much higher than USDC or USDT. For blockchain users, it was the only way to hold a coin that was directly backed by bank reserves.

The reasons for this move have nothing to do with lack of backing. It’s because Binance holds a lot of BUSD, which it then uses to issue Binance-Peg BUSD which is a completely different token and does not have the same degree of transparency or auditability. More seriously for regulators, the smart contract for Binance-Peg BUSD does not have a method for blacklisting accounts, unlike BUSD’s smart contract. This meant that actors on non ethereum chains could access stablecoins backed by BUSD but without the risk of being blacklisted by regulators.

I'm not sure how you measure investment in computing "as a whole", but I'm pretty sure this prediction is demonstrably wrong in any metric you choose. Imagine comparing a modern economy with that of a country that had not invested in computing at all - maybe Cuba would be the best example?
Probably not. There are efficiency loses when you make things too much dense in time. Our brains just do not like a lot of focus for long times.
I'm assuming you want to go back to lead pipes?

This is dangerous because people that has no knowledge of the science would blindly trust whatever it summarizes.

For a long time I was confused about bronze Chinese mirrors of that time frame. When seen in a museum or on the internet, almost always all that's shown is the ornate back[1], which as a child I took for the reflecting surface and would try to theorize about how they could function that way. Only rarely is the actual obverse shown, heavily tarnished by age and unusable. This[2] is the only photo I can find of a bronze mirror actually used as a mirror.
