That's not what I said. Please don't put words in my mouth.

Regardless, it's Economics 101. Supply and demand. And that products can and do price based on what the market will bear.

It's naive to believe we went from mainly single income households to dual (or more) and there were no side effects, no unintended consequences.
It's because we write the numerals in the same order as the longer form: May 10th, 2023 becomes 5/10/23.

If you grew up with $50M+ and lived a luxurious life, but lost it all, would you not have children over worries they may not have the same standard of living that you did?

If you could be born in America in 1925 and live until 2015, would you? Or would you decline because the standard of living dropped right away with a Great Depression followed by a world war?

I agree with you that if I knew, with certainty, that my children’s lives would be filled with nothing but suffering, I would make the same choice. But a fear of a theoretical drop in a standard of living, and which may not even impact an American over the next 100 years all that much, does not seem to me like it should reach that threshold, and I suspect it is starting to for others because of the media playing into their anxieties. There are people living that lived through the holocaust and are still happy to have lived and, over their lifetime, have had fulfilled and happy lives. I suspect your children could likewise carve out a happy life, even if their standard of living is somewhat reduced.

I agree you have no moral duty to have kids, and if you don’t want them, don’t have them. But if you want them, but are not having them because you find that to be cruel to your unborn kids, I question whether that is really a rational choice.
This is not a solution in a system where your position can be cut after you've sold your house but before you start your first day. What you describe is that a main way to get a promotion used to be to move. I doubt that is really the case for most people anymore. Additionally, if you move to the wrong place you will be moving again when the CEO runs the company into the ground doing buybacks instead of growing the company.
I didn’t stay in the US, I’m not optimistic about the future of the US. I do work in statistics / machine learning, it’s mainly the work of economists that I have a problem with. I’m surprised that anyone still takes them seriously given how terrible they are at predictions which is a core part of their job. I’ve run my own numbers and have my own results but unlike many economists I don’t have time to argue my point, I’m too busy with work.
If I can do it on a train in ~6 hours I'm pretty happy. If I have to get on a plane I'm miserable. DC to Boston (or Portland ME at a stretch), London/Paris/Amsterdam, etc. come to mind as comparable regions.

Ask HN: Need to Unlock a DigitalOcean Account?
Hello, I'm getting desperate here. Our DO account was suspended due to non-payment. The bills were going to an old email address for which we no longer control the domain.

As a result we're locked out, we can't update the billing info. We've opened support tickets hours ago but we've received no replies. Is there any escalation path we can take?
You certainly can. What you can't do is patent and be 100% sure that it won't ever get invalidated in a challenge. But that never happens, because the incentive landscape makes it more attractive to licence: a company licencing instead of challenging passes the buck to its competitors, and even more importantly to potential future competitors. Patent troll companies are effectively offering moat-as-a-service and those moats perform just fine even if they are just imaginary moats.

I think it also promotes a culture of "bullshit patents are good, just pay up and move on." Which aligns very well with large companies' large bullshit patent portfolios.
It's bad for OpenAI to go after a blank website, which could develop into anything, not necessarily related to their GPT product. Other than that, this is exactly how trademarks are supposed to work. OP should just calmly tell OpenAI that they are not infricting on the trademark, because it's not in the same business domain.

I get that people have a negative attitude towards the company because the "open" in its name basically turned out to be massive bait. But this is business as usual and trademarks exist for good reasons.

This is another fallacy. We can't compare individual things between countries in such a simple way. If you want to dive into the detail of how the whole of "being a landlord" and "being a tenant" works in those countries, and then figure out the differences and potential improvements holistically, then that's great. But this is so general it's impossible to say why it might or might not work.
OP, did you use OCR or find/replace on this email? Every occurrence of "OpenAI" in their message ends in lowercase L, as in OPENAL (with an amusing exception of the name in quotes). That includes the email to reply to.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can't claim trademark infringement for an empty page and a domain made of generic words, because trademarks are limited to context.

It was certainly an attempted launch. Attempting to launch the largest rocket in history is different than launching the largest rocket in history.

Of course the dictionary doesn't decide anything, but they are often consulted when discussing the meanings of words.

You could say they have gotten quite far in testing the largest rocket in history, but the end result of their most significant test to date was a loss of the vessel, it didn't launch into orbit.
I too from from that era of computing. That ship has sailed. There is no comparison in terms of the architectural complexity between then and now. You can decry all the layers of abstraction, and they have indeed brought amplification on the amount of memory and cycles necessary to do "simple" tasks. But they've also brought with them capabilities so far beyond what we did then.

I worked in the Chromium source tree. It is indeed massive and complicated. But I can assure you that none of us were ever "wooo let's just chew memory and CPU cycles" -- it is written with efficiency in mind all over. It's just cumulatively quite complicated what it is doing.

Can you write a GUI toolkit which throws away 99% of that cruft? Yes. But it will lack so many creature comforts that we've become used to. What we had back then.. it lacked vector fonts, it lacked GPU acceleration, it lacked transparencies, it lacked multiple DPI support, aliasing, subpixel rendering, etc.. It lacked accessibility. It lacked multiple keyboard layout support. It lacked proper multiple language support, it all predated unicode and nobody even thought about right to left text flow, etc.. Obviously no touch screen and gesture support. Hell, the Amiga widget kits barely had standardized components of much variety at all.

And that's not even bringing up the VM that runs JavaScript. Which you can bitch all you want about it -- but back then many of us salivated over Smalltalk-80 (another garbage collected dynamic late-bound OO language) but our machines could not handle it. Turns out to do that kind of system well and at scale, you need resources far beyond 80s and 90s computers. We're there now, but it took a long time.

All of this costs in software complexity.

Finally, memory usage is also a lot more complicated than it used to be. Firstly, we have so much more of it than before so we can do a lot more trading off memory for speed than we did back then, when memory was stupidly expensive. Secondly, buffer management and allocation can have all sorts of subtleties esp in the context of virtual memory. Something can show in top as using X memory, but the actual mount of memory pages in physical use and currently paged into the application may not be anywhere close to that. In a virtual memory system, memory accounting is a tricky subject.

Shit is not out of control. It's just a lot more complicated on the surface than you're willing to admit.
> Pensioners comprise the biggest creditor in the world.
Are you sure you want to tax people who've worked all their lives, saving up money, who are now living off the interest payments?

Yeah, and I say that as someone on the wrong side of forty.

The relative growth in wealth from pensioners to working groups in most Western nations is completely unsustainable, and will end very badly eventually. Trying to flatten the curve now is preferable to the alternatives.
There are other things at play here. It is important to understand that the average human is unbelievably limited and delicate (in the modern era, they don't understand any of the systems that sustain their lifestyle and have skills of only marginal use). There are multiple systems in place to take all these delicate humans and set them up to live comfortable lives.

The first layer is the makers, but after that there are a couple of layers of assessors and distributors before ideas and products hit the masses. For someone in a community that makes things, criticism isn't so useful. In the other layers that are there to work out what ordinary people should do armchair criticism is a lot more useful. Still not very impressive, but more useful.

The armchair critics aren't at all interested in making things. Their self-appointed role isn't to make things. They are part of a community that generates chatter to help guide the conversation of the people who actually decide what should happen at the mass-market level.

I think the key distinction here is that those are valid concerns to have when you have a device/service that starts getting its own agency.

In your example, if I was buying a car that had agency in the form of full-service drive I don't think it would be unwarranted to have disclaimers that it would follow all applicable laws and wouldn't nonchalantly take out pedestrians.

Paul Wilmott Introduces Quantitative Finance
Cold mix, also known as “blacktop repair”, will repair potholes. I’ve worked with it before, I recall the packaging claims it will last 5-10 years. This is slightly misleading: if you cut the pothole edges square, make sure the base of the hole stays dry, tamp it well, don’t turn a car wheel on it or brake on it for two weeks, and it’s a driveway that gets maybe half a dozen uses a day, it will last 5-10 years.

From the pictures in the article, it looks like these vigilantes were not cutting the potholes. For keeping it dry you’re at the mercy of the weather. Tamping, let’s generously assume they used a pole tamper, which still does a mediocre job compared to actual machinery. These are public roads where you can’t control who uses them and how, so people will be braking and turning on the repair within a few hours. And again, public roads, these will see hundreds or thousands of uses daily. Given all these conditions, I’ll make an educated guess that the repair will last maybe two months, certainly less than a year. There’s a road near my workplace that two large businesses share, it’s at the bottom of two hills so it gets a lot of water running through, it’s an exit off a ~50mph road so it sees both heavy turning and heavy braking, and it supports approximately 1500 trips per day. Potholes there got really bad, repairs were made with cold mix because the local council was lazy and wanted to shut up complaints. They cut the holes and tamped with a tamping machine (looks like a beefy lawnmower, sounds like a dying motorbike). The repairs lasted less than two weeks.

(Eventually the council relented and did a hot mix repair - essentially cut out and dig up a dozen yard long section of the road and re-lay hot asphalt, as if building a new road - the road was closed for a few days, but that repair is going on a year now and is in better condition than the surrounding road. This repair required a back hoe, an asphalt truck [basically a concrete mixer truck with heating], and a steamroller.)

I think it's a little of everything, if you ask me.

Obviously the low birth rate and population drop means there are just straight up less people, especially in the countryside, but also obviously there's still enough people to make Tokyo among the most population-dense metropolitan centers in the world.

Japanese society itself strongly eschews individualism in favor of uniformity and conformity, and there are many social etiquettes and mannerisms that further complicate human interactions and relations. Depending on how social and expressive you are, it really can be tiring enough that you might want to avoid extraneous interactions.

Japan has also been fond of mechanical constructs since time immemorial. In ye olde days it was karakuri ningyous (mechanized puppets), and in more recent times it has been robots ranging from the cute (Doraemon) to the super (GaoGaiGar, et al.) to the fantastical (Evangelion, et al.) to the "real" (Gundam, et al.) to really advanced vending machines and companion robots (eg: Aibo). Japan simply doesn't share the west's fear of machines (read: Terminator, HAL, et al.).

In short, while the west holds human interactions and relations as absolute necessities for a proper society, in Japan they entail a lot of social baggage. A lot of Japanese happily prefer the warm glow of a vending machine to a cashier, as sad as that might sound to many here.
> For example, offering a 4% rate to anybody holding a 2.5% mortgage would be a huge win-win for both sides.

Why would they do that when the US government is paying 4%+, and is much more creditworthy than an individual?

That is why a 30 year fixed home mortgage is ~6%+. Individuals have to pay a premium since they do not have the power to print USD, and so more default risk has to be priced in. Plus the labor expenses of underwriting and issuing a new loan.

Good idea, but mortgages are bundled together. You cannot split one off.
Fair, I will do that. I had just become jaded over the years(almost 15 years now) spending time explaining the same point in tech forums and then later it's just even more and more comments from others confidently stating the same wrong things again on every tech immigration related story(a bunch on this story including the couple of parent comments in this thread I was replying to). This creates a feedback loop with others assuming the same.

For a while I did not engage with such stories because it feels like a losing battle swimming against the current even though tech forums are generally filled with smart folks.

As another sibling comment said, the requirements for placing ads etc. are for the first step of the green card process, aka PERM, and are not required for a H1B visa.

>> to compete with others in the workplace, I need to work >12 hours/day, can't do with kids or will be laid off

The Bureau of Labor Statistics in the US tracks this. Average weekly hours worked as of April of this year is 34.4, or 6.9 hours a day: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t18.htm.

For IT, that would be under "Information" on that chart, so the average was 36.3 hours, or 7.3 hours a day.

In addition, the number of hours worked per day has been falling historically in the US. So if a high number of hours worked was negatively associated with birth rate, birth rate should be higher now than in the past.

As far as being laid off, the unemployment rate is as low as it has been in over half a century.
It might be better said that remote work is better for the remote worker's economy. In regions where remote workers moved to, people with money in the bank found themselves homeless as there was nowhere left to live.
They're a god send for me. They're so flexible and re-mappable I simply couldn't recommend a device in the same form factor without them.

Games like minecraft (java, not bedrock) make no concession for controllers but are flawless experiences due to the track pads giving precise, accurate mouse controls for the crafting interface. They can also be configured as flexible rotary menus or button grids directly in Steam.

They're great for emulators too, which have a lot of complex controls for things like save states. I've played a bunch of PS1 games through and found having all the controls for the emulator I would ever need in one sub-menu on the left trackpad.

They're IMO the real selling feature of the steam deck. The rest is just a computer to run the trackpads.
