Whoops. I wrote "OP" when I really meant "Post author". I'm a bit rusty with HN notations.
100% of it is a scam, the only reason you said 99.99 is because blockchain as a technology is worth something. But crypto coins themselves have no value at all in the real world.

One pizza place here, and one bitcoin ATM there does not make a difference. As long as you can't trade real goods and services for crypto coins it is absolutely worthless. And that is why any association with crypto makes intelligent people scared. Because it's inflated by confidence, like a true scam.

The only real goods and services that have kept bitcoin going is a black market of illegal goods and services.

I got my (pharyngeal) tonsil removed without anaesthesia, in 2001 I think, as a kid, in the Czech Republic. It didn't hurt at all, but I still remember the loud crunch of the cutting and the whole setup — I sat on one doctor's lap, he grabbed me with his arms around my whole body AND my arms, so I couldn't move at all, and a second doctor did the cutting. It only took a few seconds, there was a lot of blood, but I got many cold drinks and ice-cream in the next few days, so that was good. But I can definitely see someone getting traumatized by this.

Interesting thing that was common in, at least Yugoslavia, was for companies to own bungalows and vacation houses near the sea and then allow workers to use them for a time for vacations. Didn't think it strange at the time.
Young people being naive is nothing new. And it's hardly surprising that young people are more aware of the atrocities that their own societies systems have wrought than those of a historical system that is no longer used.

Of course, what we really need is the discourse to shift from "capitalism vs. communism", to recognise that both are extreme ideologies in their pure forms, and to start working out what a "best of both worlds" system looks like.

In Mexico, there's a hotel scam. You can book one room only to be told it was "sold out" or "unavailable". There is a quiet "discussion" room to haggle to make other arrangements. You can be Mexican from "real" Mexico and it will still happen even if you "confirm" the room (which is meaningless) because it's a money-maker by holding your vacation hostage by testing your patience and enjoyment through brinkmanship. It's a classic bait-and-switch.

I encourage you (barring safety concerns) to travel to countries whose governments are considered illiberal. Some of my most enlightening trips were to DPRK, Russia, China, Turkmenistan, Brunei. You learn a lot about how the western media tends to exaggerate for political ends.
Maybe that explains some 'word-salad' speeches by our VP. She really is sending a hidden message to somebody who has the secret decoder ring. Then again, maybe not...
That plug-in helps if you're a Minecraft player and want to play with your friends who play on a Minecraft: Java Edition server with that plug-in. It doesn't help if you're a Minecraft: Java Edition player and want to play with your friends who play Minecraft.

Basically, it just further solidifies Minecraft players as the first-class citizens of the community and Minecraft: Java Edition players as second-class.

Vercel (then called Zeit) developed NextJS themselves. I believe swyx meant React when he said "framework", even though one can argue that's technically incorrect it's been commonplace for some time to call it a framework.

In some localities it is illegal to do this.

Also, schooling for younger children isn't exclusively about the obtaining of actionable knowledge. For some children, it can be disruptive to yank them out of school.

Other families might have a problem that this teaches their children the lesson of "rules for thee, but not for me" --- that it can be okay to ignore rules just because you don't want to follow them. That isn't something that everyone is okay with.
It's a market. If you don't like your job look for a better one. I mean I agree that our system isn't perfect, or even that good, but no system is. Planned economies consistently lead to famine and tens of millions of people starving to death.

If the labor market is a monopsony, as it commonly is in small towns, the government should step in.

It occurred to me probably years later that there were a ton of things my parents did with respect to my brother and I growing up were, at a minimum, quite unconventional.
Unless you believe in overlords or secret societies the quality of government is more or less a direct result of the ethical constitution of a society - at least for a sovereign nation.

The difficulty is that it is a collective phenomenon - as you can establish fairly easily by picking somebody from society X and embedding them in society Y.

Ofcourse there is no collective without individuals, so ultimately it is aspects of individually adopted ethical codes and behaviors that it is responsible for a poor collective organization.

A standalone computer that operates reasonably but is connected to other computers via a broken API's will lead to overall broken network operations.

There is also something we might call a society's "intellectual constitution", the collective ability to execute required changes, devise institutions and tools etc. But this is subordinated to the ethical dimension (where there is a will there is always a way).
in US its not people who have government they deserve. It is Corporations have the government they pay/lobby for.

only in the US there are voters and political donors/lobbyist.

Other developed countries only have voters decide on election outcome & policy.

Wonder if they've bled the YouTube influencer well dry, where every one of them just loves that NordVPN lets them circumvent geo-blocks on streaming services while they travel.

For as dumb as geo-restricted content is, there's a certain irony to the fact that the new form of TV is sponsored by talking heads telling you how to get around content restrictions of other forms of TV, and shilling for that is part of what it means to make it big.

There’s a lot of magic with Vercel, but I think the true “wedge” was clear to many people: DX. The trick was really the execution, which they nailed. They realized early that there was a whole class of developers out there, many of them quite talented, who couldn’t stand SSH’ing into Linux boxes, configuring htaccess files, installing SSL certificates, etc. Many of these developers also worked at big companies, and held sway.

They distilled the entire deployment process into a few clicks and boom, you have a real, functioning, fast website. Then they added templates, good marketing, and doubled down on React. The rest is history. It’s a well executed vision and I give them a lot of props for that.
> If your job is so stressful that the aforementioned six weeks plus sick days is not enough vacation for you to recuperate, you're likely underpaid

Many people would prefer to be paid less and have more vacation time. Vacation time isn't just for recuperating from work. It's free time for people to live their lives as they wish.

It always feels that way in a small business, but then all of a sudden a key employee needs to take a three month medical leave and somehow the business survives.

You just have to plan well, and I'm sure there will be devoted employees who answer the odd emergency email during their sabbatical.

I've heard that Bard has become very good at coding with a recent update and beats GPT4.

I'm sure Google is sitting on a lot, it's about making it cost effective and scalable to the masses.

OpenAI have massive investment and are not one of the big tech companies, so in order to get into the field, they have an advantage were they are happy to burn through cash to gain fame, it's working for them currently, but I wouldn't be surprised for some of the big players to pop up and be more relevant when the tech really starts to take off.
Day job (contract): Massive overhaul of an antibody workbench for drug discovery.

Evenings: Building out a concept for a "YSQL" bringing CRDTs (Yjs) to SQLite and Postgres. CRDTs are great for real-time, but also awesome for offline async collaboration. Using the same CRDT for both front end data structures and backend database merging seems to me to be a good combination. The plan is to build out some simple primitives first, then layer a SQLite (WASM in browser) <-> Postgres sync system on top for local copying and modification of datasets.

Proof of concepts:

Many many cultures do not share the US's "unfettered freedom of speech".

Even within the US, we talk a big game but - have you ever felt it wise to "exercise free speech" with law enforcement?

So yeah, it's complicated.
>its more popular than ever among young people

Its only popular as an aesthetic. On both left and right, most politically inclined people don't have the reasoning skills to talk about politics effectively, nor would the actually enjoy living under their hypothetical best system of government.

Most political discourse is used as a signal to show what kind of person you are in conversation. And generally, there is a trend of people who basically have nothing of value to demonstrate about themselves attaching their identity to politics as a way of giving their life purpose.

>simple European-style welfare state with universal healthcare

You make it sound very simple. Its not. It sure would be nice to have if you could just will it into existence, but with realistic means, the amount of issues that you would have solve for, given the people doing the solving, its not guaranteed to turn out well. Id rather see EU adopt a more competitive business strategy and immigration policies to attract money and workers so that anyone wanting to benefit from the EU policies can immigrate easier.
I somehow don't think I'm the one with the delicate little worldview in this conversation.

I think the delicate little worldview is the folks who consistently refuse to accept that performance just doesn't matter that much.

When performance does matter, it's usually because the value provided by the service is SUPER FUCKING LOW.

like say... twitter, or facebook. Which both are so worthless they can't reliably get users to pay for the service at all, and instead are selling ads to users and need to optimize the time they spend on the site.

Basically - if the difference between a customer choosing your product or not is latency measured in ms/seconds... you sell a fucking shite product.

Guessing you sell a fucking shitty product?

Hi! I'm a full stack engineer with 5+ years of experience. Looking for my next opportunity to collaborate with a fun and motivated team!

I recently created an open-source load testing framework designed to simulate WebSockets and HTTP traffic at scale (~200K virtual users) with a remote team of four. It's written with Go and JS and deployed to Kubernetes. Read our case study here: get-edamame.com/case-study
Serious question, are there locales with a consistently good track record on this? I have only seen news stories of when it goes wrong and it's difficult to calibrate %s for each region. Like the US is often good for rule of law, but there are a lot of notable counter examples. In this article, around the UK, it's difficult to get a sense of how often this sort of thing is happening especially relative to other western places.

I suspect that virtually every country does this sort of thing regularly and the incentives to stop have got to be much more severe than tourism and conference hostings, there is just too long of a road from that to domestic voter outrage to actually endanger lawmakers jobs. We have to get people to care about it through arguing I think.
You will get better customer support from Vercel. Cloudflare gives almost zero customer support if you are pay-as-you-go plan.
> I'd be willing to bet half of them you'd find in any online aggregator could end up communicating more judgementally

Whilst I do support the idea that "fit" is important, statements like these about unsupported statistics pulled out of thin air are damaging in and of themselves. It's sentiment like this that put me off seeking help for my mental health for twenty years because it just seemed like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't". The reality was very different.

Chatbots may never tire of you, but neither will a video game. Both are shallow and not a representation of reality, nor a solution to a problem.

Here's the thing: professionals are professionals. For as long as a patient sees them, they are paying their bills.

Exhaustion in non-professionals is because people trauma-dump and expect someone to be their guardian/protector/shield, if they're friends with them, they're statistically likely to be trying to manage their own problems already. In the pre-digital era, people would otherwise "need" a support network if they didn't have access to professionals. We didn't have a theory of psychology or professional therapists in the past. The early tribe/clan either took care of each other, or they let people suffer. Different peoples did different things with their mentally ill, elderly, physically ill, or unwanted female children.

Ego-centricity is a trait of modernity, not necessarily something reflective of the past because we can just replace the human gears in the system now without much hassle.
this has got to be the most reddit thing i have ever read
It's one of the reasons I heavily use the HTML (hypertext markup language ;) <abbr> abbreviation tag [0]. I think it's useful for reminding the reader what the acronym/abbreviation/initialism means so they don't have to backtrack to where it was originally referenced. I know how it feels to read something with unknown abbreviations because I've read comments here on hackernews about machine learning.

Very much this. The only area where I felt uncomfortable was in Xinjiang, as two friends in that region have effectively been “disappeared”. While I am skeptical of much of what has been written on this topic, due to its obvious use as propaganda, many of the tours I had there reminded me of those in DPRK. There was an obvious level of orchestration designed to show you a face of Xinjiang which lacked any warts.
Is there really a point? If you fold the iPad in half, put it in a garbage bag with a bunch of food waste and throw it away, I think there's a 99.999...% chance it ends up in a landfill. Nobody will grab it out of the trash because it's folded in half, obviously ruined, and covered in gross food waste anyway.

The scenario in which this fails is the FBI/etc are already watching you specifically very carefully and are going through your trash carefully. But if this is the case... good luck man. I don't think any amount of drilling will get them to give up and leave you alone.
I'm building a robot from scratch. It's pretty cool to see how processing at the edge (one might even call it AI) lets even lower-power microcontrollers like the Jetson Nano perform tasks that even 10 years ago would have been impossible or needed serious compute/power to perform.
He's getting the literal minimum paid time off required by the EU (20 days + national holidays). Maybe in the US this is considered too much time off, but this amount would just be a basic right for any worker in Europe. Maybe you are the one who needs introspection?

Personally, I get 6 weeks + national holidays + 2 family days here in Denmark.
I really like it too. It happens more often than you think.

My wife and I went on a cruise once when we were still dating, and it was one of the ones where they assign you a table to eat. Since we were a young couple, they assumed we were newlyweds and seated us with a bunch of other newlyweds. It was fun to hear all their stories (one was a Mormon couple who had just had a very traditional Mormon wedding for example). Then 1/2 way through the cruise they switched it up and we ended up at a table with a large family from rural Oregon, who were sad at the lack of meat on the menu. Normally at home they would sit on the back porch with rifles and shoot animals that would walk by and then eat them. Which was just a really interesting thing to learn about, given that we had always been city folk.

And on another trip we stayed at a small place in Costa Rica that offered local tours each day as a planned activity. We ended up touring with a bunch of other Americans that were staying at the same place. Connected with them on Facebook and we're all still connected to this day, occasionally commenting on each other's posts.

In fact two of them were a young couple like us who were just dating and also traveling with their parents. We both ended up having kids around the same time and have even met up with them when we were in their home town.
The base level of knowledge for computing is poor because computing is new in history.

How do I know what you personally trust is trustworthy? Some people use Protonmail trying to avoid lawful prosecution, thinking they're protected, and they will tell you they know what they're doing. A lot of the time there is too much noise for the common human to make an informed decision.
Things aren't binary though. No one is saying the US isn't "real capitalism", they are just specifying what type of capitalism it is. But that's a very different than saying there's no true Scotsman. There's a reason one is a fallacy and the other isn't.
