The consensus, even among tech people, seems to be that this is a good thing. Sure, lots do argue it shouldn't be maintained by Google, but ultimately such list itself is fine.

I personally don't agree with, as I think modern browsers (not just Chrome) already do way too much handholding to a point that neutrality is inevitably lost.

I would go even further and say I don't like ideas like Firefox's/Brave's "Enhanced Tracking Protection" which blocks certain services with a handpick ruleset. Don't get me wrong, I block these trackers myself in uBlock Origin, but I don't like idea that a browser maintains an arbitrary list itself of what to block for the users.

Where and how do you get your food?
Yes it’s true it didn’t work, and as someone who grew up in Stockholm I used to be very sour about the situation, still am to some extent. However, it’s worth pointing out that the transformation of rentals into condos (and a couple of other deregulation efforts) did lubricate the market, but only to a limited degree, and now we instead have these massive “investments” where the rest of the economy is held hostage due to everyone having huge loans. In short, there are massive red flag issues in all market forms, in a place like Stockholm.

Which leads me to this crazy idea that what if the problem is instead a… lack of total amount of housing? Sweden is incredibly slow, expensive and bureaucratic to build new housing in, yet we’re urbanizing just as much as anyone else. To me, the government should have a clear policy goal of having housing supply keep up with population growth, at the very least. Now, I care less about HOW (everyone can argue about that until eternity) and more about just ensuring it happens, and not lagging behind decades. If politicians drag their feet, it should automatically switch over to dropping all non-essential regulations (that would put a blowtorch to their asses).

In either case, I’m not in Sweden atm and I don’t feel particularly hyped about the coerced gambling I’d have to participate in if I were to settle there again permanently. It’s a shame, because it really destroys our ability to attract international talent in the startup world and so on.

I have to assume other young people, like myself, want a mostly furnished place because dragging a ton of furniture around is very annoying. Especially when you're forced to move around every few years because the rents keep hiking up.

And I don't think the adverted price are representative of how much you'd end up paying in just rent. My current place went up £200/mo from £1800/mo advertised, because the agent went back to us (and the other applicants), telling us other people's offers, and goading us into increasing our offer.

Anecdata: I share a 2 bed in Ealing, £2000/mo in just rent, council tax band D which adds about another month's rent a year.
If I weren't working in finance and paying more to make up for my housemate's lower salary (my ~70k/yr to his ~£30k/yr) there's no way we'd be able to afford this place. We'd have to find somewhere in a worse location, with poorer quality, or both.

The increase in density will cancel out the increase in real estate cost (land). In fact, capital investment in increasing the output from a piece of land is the correct way to profit from real estate, not just squatting as people profit in current markets.
And then you quickly determine how horrible an idea it is. It allows people who are completely unprepared to hike in difficult terrain. They get in trouble and then call for help putting the mountain rescue people in danger. There are dozens of rescue missions like this every year in the Tatra mountains.

No asset class can both “drive wealth” (in a predictable manner) and be available to all. Exclusivity is fundamental to privilege.
Harmony Korine did an entry as well

> It is the first American film to be made in accordance with the Dogme 95 cinematic manifesto, and just the sixth overall to be recognized by the Danish movement since its inception in 1995. According to the strict filmmaking guidelines under this movement, known as the “Vow of Chastity,” the “supreme goal” of a Dogme 95 work “is to force the truth out of my characters and settings.” Through sourcing all props on location, eschewing a traditional score and dedicating the film to his own schizophrenic uncle, Julien Donkey-Boy is entrenched in a harrowing realism that reflects on Korine’s own connections to the film’s subject matter.

Also, farmers don’t have to disappear for more housing. It seems the government does a great job pitting a lot of its citizens against farmers by lying that they are holding back new housing development, while the real issue is a lack of builders, too stringent guidelines and a lack of building materials.
The best thing about Starship test is that Elon will (hopefully) shut up about Twitter and focus on the important things instead of garbage.
What's even worse is that Firefox, Safari, Vivaldi, Brave, Instagram, other Google services (like Gmail and Search) all rely on this list in some capacity, though their delivery method may differ. It's got far bigger reach than Chromium alone.

Sneak in your competitor onto this list and they'll lose all of their traffic for as long as it takes them to convince someone at Google they've made a mistake.
Some things are worth protecting against, but most of the blocking I've seen has beeen sites that just don't conform with google's prefences. Given that there is a conflict between google's preferences and mine, there is a problem.
I'm in London, and don't recognise most of this.

Like, I live in Zone 2 with a rent of £1600/month, including heating. My previous place (only a few months ago) was £1450, also in Zone 2. My company is revving up hiring, and we've definitely not seen salaries decrease. If anything, we're prepared to pay more to basically anyone who isn't a new grad.
A large portion of this community has had resentment towards FAANG and FAANG engineers for a long time.
Whiteboard interviews, high pay, not invented here syndrome, memes about coasting in big co, stereotyping people based off which FAANG they came off of, trivializing the work, saying it’s detrimental to a new engineer’s career to join FAANG etc.

All of this is fine. But let’s be real, part of the community resents another part and has for a while. It is part of some people’s identity to hate on FAANG engineers. And they let you know.

The solution to this is of course land value tax, distributed to citizens in a dividend. The gains from the land value go to the citizens of the country, not the private speculators who add nothing.
You can easily put money in your pension and avoid the tax.

So if you’re making 125k and put 25k in your pension, you will only pay taxes on 100k.

Take advantage of tax wrappers and UK tax is kind of okay when comparing with other countries.

Seems like a way for elites to maintain control.

Much like unpaid internships, the paths and positions of power are made unattractive to intelligent and hardworking people who lack generational wealth to work for free or far less than market value, especially when cost of living is so high.
The british government has a parasitic relationship with consultancy companies. They hire consultants for £1,500 per day from PWC, Deloitte, etc.

https://youtu.be/ycVBoWsGLJs

There are 3 kinds of consultants - experienced civil service employees that were poached because they were underpaid - so now the consultancy pays them 80k instead of 50 but charges them out for a fortune.

Or they are generalists working for the consultancy, and are about as skilled as the civil servants themselves.

Only a small fraction of consultants are really so specialised that you only need the expertise occasionally and should be contracting them

Yeah, just finished that one (Dream Machine) myself, excellent book. The other main one I know of is Dealers of Lightning, which centres on PARC specifically. Also quite a good book.

Another is Fumbling the Future, which discuss the apparent failure of Xerox to capitalise on their computing research (as you'll know from having read the Dream Machine, the reality is a bit more nuanced than that). Haven't read this one myself, not sure how good it is, seems well-received though.

Finally, Alan Kay is quite active on Quora these days, and often talks about PARC-related material: https://www.quora.com/profile/Alan-Kay-11
(At some point I recall him mentioning the Dream Machine being one of the best accounts of PARC's history, btw.)
It's significant and a good excercise to keep looking until you find it.

Reduced losses is why HVDC is greatly preferred over AC transmission.

Research in general is good exercise, I see you've already learnt that copper cables aren't used for AC transmission at scale.

As for beamed power, if you compare the ~ 100 year history of industrial scale HVDC distribution to the (?) history of similarly scaled beamed power .. uhhh, well, that's telling.

I don't think that's the case - looking at levels.fyi, London pays more than anywhere outside the US and Switzerland. Definitely more than Australia, despite a lower cost of living.
"How the hell are we ever supposed to build up some savings, settle down and have a comfortable life?"

The idea is, you pay so much rent, you never will have enough money to buy something. So you have to spend all your money the whole life just for rent and still own enything when you are old.

Western Canada alone is absolutely stunning and wild af. You won't find a wilderness like that anywhere in Europe anymore. It's not for the faint of heart at all. While I am a pretty experienced backpacker I stayed away from most remote areas in western Canada. Even a day trip would take me on a peak that would be hiked just a few times per year. Zero cell service too.
I started looking for houses in 2005-2006. The outlook sounded similar, constant prices going up and missing out. House flipping was booming and I was priced out of all the desirable areas. What I did was start near where I work and move down the line farther out getting to less desirable towns. 2008 hit and at that point mortgages dried up. I finally got a house in 2009, in an area where schools were not as good and was not as desirable and prices fell for the next few years where I felt like I over paid. With all the money I put in , being a fixer upper too, I just assumed if I sold I’d simple take a loss and move on with my life. Now, a decade plus later the area has moved from less desirable to decent. In the end it worked out. Once again today though the same areas I couldn’t afford are still the desirable area. People want the cute down time I was priced out of 15 years ago. There are still towns that are more affordable.
Nice strawman. I never said otherwise, but it's a fact that very few (if any?) countries pack so many diverse landscapes in an area as small as France.

I think this kind of screening is probably a good thing. Do you really want to entrust hundreds of lives to a pilot who struggles to concentrate? Or one who has depression and might be looking at that nearby mountain and thinking “I could just crash this plane into it and it would all be over”. I’m not sure these things ever really get cured, all it takes is a few bad life events (e.g maybe their spouse dies and they stop taking medication) and you’re at risk of a relapse
I pay £1550pcm in a fairly new build in Stratford/Olympic Park, ~60sqm. Used to pay the same (until January) for ~55sqm in Canada Water, but for an older build. These are 1 bed flats I'm talking about.

I do have to say, though, the process of finding them was quite stressful.
One thing that's often overlooked in statistics like this is roof top solar because it's just not that easy to account for. In places like Australia, where double digit percentages of homes have solar and where building codes are actually being changed to require solar panels, this is a non trivial amount that is putting a lot of pressure on energy suppliers to adapt. Effectively whole states are running on solar when the sun comes out (which it does a lot over there). Whether they like it or not, demand for grid electricity drops a lot whenever these panels are producing. And of course a lot of people are installing batteries as well. That must be happening in the US as well and it must be having some impact.

https://www.seia.org/solar-industry-research-data This article seems to suggest that the amount of installed solar has doubled in the last four years and that the pace is accelerating. Also it states that the solar market expanded by 40% last year.
I do wonder why we decided to reuse the maritime nomenclature instead of coming up with a new one. Why would a space armada be considered a navy?

Forget global warming. Of course it will not be stopped. All fossil fuels will be burnt till full exhaustion of reserves, until the remainder is completely uneconomical to extract. But then the nations that were the last to start switching will find their economies too inefficient and expensive to run with the fossil fuels while everyone else is using much cheaper renewables, and will probably no longer have money for the switch, ending up in a major predicament.

That was brought over to the JDK six months ago. The JDK can now spawn millions of Erlang-like processes ("virtual threads") per second.

Erlang is a great inspiration and it does incredibly well with the development resources available to it, but it's hard to compete with the level of engineering investment in the JDK and its state-of-the-art GCs, optimising JIT compilers, and low-overhead in-production tracing and profiling.
Absolutely. The 60% marginal rate will still kick in somewhere though, with the recent increase in annual pension allowance I guess it would be 160-185k, which would actually make it 65% as it'd be on top of the additional rate.
I've lived in Croydon for 20 years, after living multiple other places in London. While it has some real shitholes, it also has plenty of great places. Most of Croydons reputation is down to places most people who live in Croydon never see.

The 1100/month flats I saw were in calm, green, solidly middle class areas with walking distance to several large parks, shops, and great transport links.
Sorry, my mistake. I meant to say most places are not 'non-recourse' as far as I am aware!

Twitter wasn't in that bad of state. If anything, it just needed tweaking to unlock the value it should have had given it's place in the media. Now, Twitter is in a terrible state financially given the debt Musk loaded onto it for the purchase.

The problem is Musk is learning the hard way when taking something over is that the old crew is never as dumb as he hoped they were, and he wasn't as smart as he thought he was.

In reality, it barely makes a difference if you want to avoid hotlinking (and that has other bad privacy privacy implications, now all your users load bad content).

Anecdotal, but I’ve found many people who complain about abusive managers are doing a terrible job and are looking for any excuse to be a victim or explain why their crap work is not appreciated.

Misunderstood genius syndrome.
And also, a datacenter causes way more pollution per square meter so how is that more efficient? They don’t pay much taxes and they don’t have many employees. Even the buildings are off the shelve imported from other countries.
Agreed - my ex has spent her whole career in the public sector and the benefits are indeed insane. IIRC the pension was especially lucrative (from my POV), it was something like min ~20% employer contribution but I could be remembering incorrectly.

I wonder why they don't advertise all the benefits more explicitly in public sector job listings.
I don't think this has a lot to do with the open source spirit but the fact that competitors like Bambulab are eating their lunch. That seems to rub them the wrong way.

I also see a lot of FUD from the Prusa community regarding that particular brand, where you can't claim it's a 1:1 Prusa clone. Even the remarks from Josef Prusa about speed or noise are targeted to the X1C or P1P printers while if you want to talk about clones and copying there are brands out there that fits the bill better e.g. Sovol 06.

The part where you can only sell "consumables" that must be verified by Prusa also has zero to do with open source or freedom.

A previous HN thread on SoftRAM: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21768268
Question must be - in a country where population doesn't grow at all and haven't been for a generation+, and housing is not being torn down on a massive scale so supply of it probably still increases a bit, why is there a need for any new housing at all? Basically, why can't people on average just live in their grandparents' apartments once they die? Housing construction standards have been decent for at least 60 years so these apartments are good and are probably better located than their parents' just because of city growth since.
What is shocking/offensive about that?
Yes! When you think, that these resources each cost you 80000€ a year, you want to use them really well and get some serious output.
