Literally every tech company does this.

Discovery was different when most communications were in person and company memos we're on paper. Even then companies shredded memos after a while, they're not worth the cost to store them.

Now with computers and everyone working via slack all day it's cheap to store everything everyone has said in your company and the laws around discovery haven't been updated so all of that content now has to be checked at the cost of the one being sued.

It never actually explains what exactly a "profit-price spiral" is. Even if company profits are to blame for inflation, the only solution that central bankers have at their disposal is to increase interest rates to cool aggregate demand. This is why we leave central banking to technocrats rather than people with a political agenda.

There isn't really any problem with them if they are properly compensated. Which isn't to say they are a great idea, but not worth banning if it is a contractual agreement on both sides.

Only 30% of people have mortgages, why should the remaining 70% care, many can even put money in savings accounts again after 15 years of them being basically worthless.

He never said interest rates wouldn't rise either, he basically said they don't forecast the conditions that warrant a rise won't happen until then.

Here's a pro-tip if you took on too much debt under the naive belief that 0.1% interest rates were the new norm, sell your overinflated assets and live debt free.

Interesting, can you show me the video of Zelensky saying the terms are acceptable but the US won't let him accept and are forcing everyone to fight to the death? Or are you just making this up?

Also your focus on the political orientation of a battalion that pretty much fought to the death to stop the Russian invasion is pretty telling. Should Ukraine have told them not to fight? Sorry we would rather lose the war, have our daughters raped, get tortured to death and let Russia keep stealing our kids because our potential allies are racist?

Russia is pardoning rapists and murdererers if they agree to fight for them. But partnering with Racists is worse right?

What the us is doing is more disgusting than the invading Russians, about the same, less?

You don’t even have to read “past the headlines and between the lines”.

The most common estimates I’ve seen are around 120K killed+wounded for Ukraine, which are very heavily casualties.

Not as heavy as the 200K the same sources are estimating for Russia, but still very high. This is a meatgrinder of a war. This is very clear.
Congrats on the release!

Having recently started coding in Zig, in no small part because of Bun, I would like to know: How do you deal with the fact that Zig is not a very stable language yet? I was surprised to find out that Andrew Kelley and his collaborators still consider breaking changes on a regular basis, that there quite a few bugs and, let's call them, unintentional inconveniences that will require further breaking changes to fix.

More generally, how do you like Zig?

Public universities in Germany will take anyone who they believe could pass the course if they worked hard enough. For practical purposes this means you got the school leaving certificate, the Abitur. If you went to a less academic school (Realschule) rather than a Gymnasium, a grammar school you need to take an extra year but you can still go to a university of applied sciences which offer Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees as well.

The only complications to open admission are for high demand courses that are very expensive to teach, mostly medicine. But if you got an Abitur and didn’t get good enough grades to get in your can just wait. I met someone who did a physiotherapy apprenticeship[1] in the three years of waiting.

[1] Yes, what in the rest of Europe is a Bachelor’s degree and in the US a “professional doctorate” is a three year apprenticeship in Germany.
Obviously you know that "demonized" is a loaded word here. What's your point in using it?

All I'm saying is that if there's something where "99% of [...] volume is helping laundering international drug trade money, distributing CSAM" that that is obviously terrible for the world and we should be asking some strong questions about who's supporting it and why.

Ask HN: Living at home while increasing revenue
Hey y’all, I have been building a small company in the esports space and I have some revenue coming in monthly, but not enough to sustain myself. Recently my parents offered me the option of living with them rent free as I explore profitability. This seems like an awesome opportunity but I fear for stagnation and lack of drive once I move back in and get comfortable and am thinking of not doing it and struggling to get by with three roommates as I continue to put the revenue back in the business.

Is my thought process sound in skipping out on the opportunity and instead continuing to shovel away trying to reach profitability without the living subsidy from parents.

For the technological singularity to come to pass, systems must be able to design systems. This is at the "Model T" stage in the form of GitHub Copilot. The progression is towards cloud provisioning, software configuration, software testing, systems configuration management, and SOIC design.

It's yet another example of the gap that always exists between economic theory and economic practice. In this case, what we have is that every player in the food chain has taken advantage of supply shortage to eke out additional margin along the way. And why not? Your products are in demand and there are buyers who are willing to pay more than the theoretical market price. The actual situation is that even if competition does assert itself eventually it is slow to adjust to changes in the environment AND there is very strong hysteresis: those with the opportunity are fast to put up prices and slow to lower them again to the same level even if prior conditions re-establish themselves.

Most of it goes to the lie that is the premise that interest rates are really the optimal way to control inflation, regardless of the source. When inflation is actually driven by consumers having too much money, fine, go for it. But when its driven by external factors all you are doing is causing misery and maybe adding fuel to the fire as people already maxed out buying essentials are in fact going to seek (require) higher salaries when you add to their cost of living.

Yeah, “Dane-geld” was written long before Munich, and references experiences much longer before Munich.

> Wrong - a plant diet without supplementation is effectively a health crisis

Supplementation is not a problem - we're supplementing the animals with B12 etc. anyway, so why not skip the middleman.

> Cooked meat is a necessity

It was, but it isn't anymore. Not in most of the world.

> You are worse for not having it

Not true - plant based diets are healthier. It's a fact.

> plant based diet without supplementation is equivalent to running at a lower efficiency

Nobody forces you to skip supplementation ... everywhere you look it's mentioned as a necessity. And many vegan products are fortified already.

Everything you get from animal products you can get from plants. Those animals did.
If they don't have a Class 41 registration, I believe this is the legal dogma – but if they do, no amount of fair use or parody lets you use their mark on a Class 41 service without authorisation. Fair use / parody is US copyright, not trademark.

I tried to check whether Hotdog on a Stick had Class 41 registration, but USPTO's TESS has got to be the worst trademark search system I've ever used. I've seen more distinct error pages than useful results, and can't even find their Class 43 registration.
It's called a reserve requirement ratio (RRR), the bank must hold a certain percentage of loans as cash. It's mostly a closed loop due to rehypothecation so money supply is proportional to RRR. It keeps getting cut and it's one of those expansionary policies you tend not to hear much about. It's been a long time since I paid attention to it but I think there was talk of using cash equivalents instead of just cash at which point given the fraudulent incompetence of rating agencies you might as well not have a RRR.
All the traits that make someone better at sports make them better at earning money too. Extroversion, communication skills, competitiveness and physical energy almost certainly aren’t worth a much as intelligence but when would they hurt?
A "same dynamic and general shape" argument is a pretty different animal than what I'm addressing.

I agree that tech often acts as a power multiplier, but I think that's because it is typically deployed by those who have power and want more. That doesn't mean that contra-power uses are impossible, which is the claim that I think is pretty suspicious.
Yeah, I wanted to stay with your jokey tone.

I was thinking along the same line as the parent comment at your link [2] -- really, I was too eager to play know-it-all.

Just to explain the difference that may be unclear because of the language: the move functions I linked to call an `each` function which is like Haskell's `map`, only because these move functions all return a list of board states, for the sake of animating the moves in the 2048 game.

These all work in terms of `left` in my code, vs. `moveRight` in yours. So the function that'd cause trouble is `down` instead of `moveUp`, if I'd tried to organize it exactly the way you did, versus just generally basing it on conjugation. I didn't try to golf this version, and I sure wouldn't bet on being able to as much as you did. Respect.
>If bias in information must be fixed and all information has bias then all information must be fixed.

No. It is possible to focus on one thing at a time, or to address similar problems in tandem. It isn't the case that we must remove bias from all forms of information, or else remove no bias from any form of information. And even if "fixing all information" in general was a worthwhile goal, it doesn't place limitations on the effort to identify or address the specific problem of bias in AI.

> That may be the case but you cannot escape the bias of the fact checkers so we will end up where we started?

No. We won't end up where we started. Not all biases are equal to all others. Bias towards racism doesn't have the same effect as bias against racism, for instance nor does a bias towards science lead to the same place as a bias towards religion.

>How do you fix bias without creating bias?

The context you're ignoring in this conversation is relevant to all of your questions.
It was pretty surprising to see the four propeller hubs identified from the photo.

Wishful thinking. Lots of unwarranted assumptions.

'Carriers can deliver more tonnage of bombs' - Yep. possibly. That's a big assumption the enemy of the day will allow those carriers to approach to within the shortish range of carrier-based bombers. Otherwise that large tonnage of bombs will just have be dropped in the sea, wasted effort.

Carriers are as obsolete today as battleships were in 1941. And more so. At least a battleship had the firepower to protect itself most of the time, without having to have dozens of other ships necessary to do that.

That battleships were obsolete didn't stop the US from building battleships for some time after everybody else knew they were obsolete. The same is happening with carriers.

Its called a scapegoat.

The Canadian government massively expanded the money supply and took on a ton of debt giving payments during Covid.

Even the BoC was caught off guard when they said “inflation was transitory”.

Rather than admit it was their own policies that caused inflation they’ve decided to blame industry.

Don't get me wrong, profit is going up for these industries, some of it driven by supply issues. You could argue that higher profit is helping sustain inflation (costs go up -> wages goes up -> costs go up -> etc), but higher profit is NOT the reason why inflation spike in the first place.

Its quite entertaining to see but no doubt it’ll work on most of the population.
