This sounds like just the opposite of a capitalist monopoly from the other side. Why would I want any party to control the way a market works? You'll get stagnation both ways. see many historical examples where both monopolies and unions refused change and were overturned, leading to failures. i.e. Detroit

I want a functioning competitive market where workers and firms compete and have to adjust and innovate to fit what people want. Neither side should be able to lock down and define the way things must work.
GH also prefixes them and undoubtedly scans for and invalidates them.

I don't think I ever cringe as much as HN threads with people clamoring for backwards steps for security.
That's quite possible but then I don't understand your critique. Investment driven demand appears to result from the already raising prices. I don't know who could possibly manipulate the market if it has been naturally declining, the capital requirements for that are insane.
They have 1.0303 points for every comment compared to your 1.0407. That's not a difference to be boasting about. What you might want to criticize instead is how young their account is (first comment was mid June).

My Experience Modernizing Packages to ESM
The way I'd do it, each user gets their own type of coin and then they form webs of trust such that tokens flow along paths of transitive trust. In a highly connected part of the web, everybody is treating everybody else's tokens as interchangeable.

Things would differ from traditional currency in cases where users are not well connected. Imagine a newcomer, flush with tokens from a disconnected or distantly connected part of the network. They may not be able to find any locals that will accept their tokens. (This sort of hygiene discourages Sybil accounts and makes difficult the kind of bank-driven shenanigans that were typical of US foreign policy in the 70's). If you want to do remote business you should have to gain the trust of the locals first, and you should have to fear that they'll revoke that trust in response to bad behavior on your part.

The value of a loaf of bread, as expressed in a conventional currency would then be a function of whether the baker had needs that weren't met by the local economy. Communities that are highly dependent on the global economy would have a great need of conventional currency. Self sufficient communities, less so (this is to prevent the formation of the overly complex, and therefore fragile, supply chains that we see today).

So yes, I expect that the structure that you describe would emerge, with densely connected hubs etc. The UBI token would only make sense for use within a hub though. You'd probably use a strictly-scarcity-based currency like USD or whatever for inter-hub commerce.

This is because if the goods are coming or going a great distance then you don't really need all the trust stuff since you're unlikely to be in a position to care about the externalities of their manufacture/use anyway. By contrast, if the goods are coming from your neighbor's back yard then you probably want to be using something besides conventional currency, something that lets you threaten to revoke trust if their operations are poisoning the drinking water or whatever.

Mostly this design is inspired by how CirclesUBI does it, but there's a few tweaks I'd make of I were going to try to build such a thing.
His whole thing for a while was how it was going to be cheaper to dig tunnels by using new techniques etc, that would equally apply to subways - but a feel like it was probably bullshit.

Given the dark pattern around email, I immediately assumed your monetization was going to be via selling ads or personal data - I see that might not be the case, however I think that not making this very clear from the start is consumer unfriendly, particularly when your customer base is a self-described sleep-deprived individual who probably has mental health issues (which describes me, FWIW).

For me, I was in good shape in my 30s. Then the weight started to creep on.

Now I've been having my first meal after lunch, exercising more by walking and snacking less. Too early to tell how it goes long term.

I'm trying to be a little flexible. So if it's 9am and I'm hungry, or I know I'm heading out the house for a busy morning, I'll eat fruit or vegetables. But no bread.

Hurd is over 30 years old. It didn't get support for SATA drives until 2013. It still does not support USB devices, at all. Working on such an OS doesn't seem like it would be a good use of my time, especially when that time could be spent working on Linux, or a BSD.

Maybe a solution is for someone to sue the next time a car is navigating to the wrong place or otherwise misconfigured, there’s a passenger in the car, and the car won’t let the passenger fix it.

(Almost every modern car knows when there is a passenger in the front passenger seat — they could feed this knowledge to the infotainment system.)
How are they cheap in the big picture? Average cost is a billion per mile in the US and the latest numbers out of New York are more than 5 billion per mile.

Vegas hyperloop was <30 million per mile, so somewhere between 3% and 0.6% the cost per mile.

Reportedly, in this expansion, private companies will carry the entire cost.
We are still in the process of improving the survey, so your feedback is super valuable. So far, we have been over-indexing on helping our users figure out the severity of their insomnia and their sleep habits so we can create a personalized program.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of information will be helpful for you? We thought of including a flow chart showing what you'll be doing each week (e.g. dealing with a racing mind, cognitive restructuring, stimulus control, sleep restriction etc.) on the program, and also some of the information in https://stellarsleep.com/science. Do you think that will be helpful?
This is a little silly but I don't see a problem. No one lives in these areas, so no one will get the subsidy. People have lived there in the past; this isn't a random patch of wilderness. It sounds to me like people in this area would qualify if they existed. Now they're pre-approved.

If you have insomnia, get checked for sleep apnea. I used to sleep more than the recommended 8 hours until I discovered that I was actually running on fumes and adrenalin most of the day and couldn't sleep at night until early in the morning whereupon I overslept. Now, I can fall sleep at a sane hour and sleep the recommended amount of time.
Yeah, I'm 'overweight'. I run a lot and generally in pretty good shape. But I could absolutely lose 10-20 lbs of fat. Just because you're a little overweight doesn't mean you're unhealthy.
Gosh, whenever you find the world you want to live in, please let me know because I don't want to live there.

I'll keep the smile and the clean trucks, thank you. A lot of good manners are "fake" and simply a social convention that people follow even if feeling miserable inside - "Good Morning", "Excuse me", "Thank you" etc.

In a world filled with hostility, disease, death and danger, good manners and social conventions such as cleanliness help signal safety.

I'm not going to respond to your comment directly (we've already solved all the problems you've mentioned), but I thought I should mention for the sake of the other readers of this thread that you work for Redpanda which is a competitor of ours and didn't disclose that fact. Not a great look.

Mounjaro works...even better than gastric bypass but without the potential complications from invasive surgery, and also people with bypass often regain the weight gradually as the stomach expands and old eating habits resume. Mounjaro however fixes the underlying food addiction problem at the brain-gut level, not by artificially trying to make the stomach smaller . the drug and similar ones is the future of solving the obesity problem in America and worldwide. It is a big threat to the fitness and wellness industry, which is dependent on selling overpriced and largely infective dieting and coaching programs, hence the resistance to this drug and alarmism over alleged muscle loss.
I'm excited to see what happens with Micron in Clay and seeing how far they're committing (and putting their money where their mouth is already) gives me a lot of hope to see it through.
I think was less than a year ago that OBS got support for webp. Just about the same for Photoshop. Plenty of software still doesn’t support it or support it well. Glad your experience has been good.

Personally, the fact that it was Googles idea means I’m going to hold it at arms length, if not avoid it entirely. The web should be built on open standards.
> the leadership was mocking China's capability to build their own domenstic supply chain

Well, ASML is primarily and rightly very concerned that once "China" has their machines they'll attempt to reverse engineer them, ignore any western patents and IP and try to build 'Chinese chip machines'. It's happened to many industries, from Lego to fashion to hi tech. Hell, apparently there's even Chinese Knock-off Movies.

So, above everything else, there's a legitimate concern for ASML that once they move or deliver too much into China, they'll enable their own competition.

While I have some sympathy for the policy makers attempting to do this they do appear to be oblivious that to the outside world, especially their allies, the meta-lesson is any critical industry will eventually be onshored by the printing of hundreds of billions to price you out if necessary. This isn't a recipe for long term peaceful co-operation.

It's ridiculous to criticise China on one hand, and then emulate every move they've made ten/twenty years later.
The significance of being a Stanford MBA or YC founder is entirely arbitrary and meaningful only to a small number of people in certain circles. I grew up in the Midwest. No one cares about such things there, and it may even be seen as a negative. It’s not some objectively significant measure of success, it’s only worth whatever weight you want to give it.

I have seen this line of thinking play out with several friends in the Bay Area: if you’re unhappy because of these of similar reasons, you’re being eaten alive by capitalism. It’s consumed your mind. If it’s to the point where you’re suicidal, you need to leave the bay (or wherever else you are that is making you feel this way). The rest of the world does not think like this. The way you are thinking is not reality. But it’s difficult to see through it when it surrounds you.
I've been here with this and having logs also emitted by application/web servers is critical too. If you only have it at the gateway, and it emits a 503 or 504, did the request make it to the web server? Maybe? You have no signal. Seeing a timeout at the gateway/load-balancer and the web server log that it serviced the request successfully but took 45s tells you very critical information. If you didn't have the web log, you have a missing signal that tells you critical information.

Despite having to managed TBs of logs per day and sift through them at times, I'd rather have too much logs. However, we did not alert on any of them. All alerting was symptoms based via SLOs (error rate, latency). Logs were only used for debugging.
FWIW, Apple (and other's) leaked password check algorithm is a big mainstream adoption, but it's hard to count Private Set Instruction when it's a fundamentally easier problem and minimizes the "multi" out of MPC.

This whole fear of being labeled a "conspiracy nut" for exploring less trodden paths needs to end

People get called conspiracy nuts when they make big claims with no real evidence. That is the opposite of 'science and exploration'. The difference is always evidence. Go on a conspiracy site and ask for hard evidence of anything and they will get very upset.
As someone who is involved in compliance in these industries, I would be surprised to see CISA having anything close to the impact you described.

All I see are watered down checklists that can be verified by any human being who is semi-literate and may or may not have any relevance to security best practices. They probably were influenced on some level by CISA guidance if you're talking about .gov or commercial entities, but is nowhere near the level of impact you mentioned.

Do you have any examples of CISA guidelines having a meaningful impact on business operations?
> This is such a weird American fixation. Here, take my money and hand me my burger and receipt, there's no need for a conversation or a fake smile. You don't care how my day is going, I don't really care about yours. Let's keep this transaction professional and solely focused on this exchange of money for burger.

As a Canadian cousin over here, if you can't tell the difference between a smile/a polite "Hi, how can I help you?"/a "have a nice day", and an actual conversation involving smalltalk, then you clearly don't know about what you're criticising.

In our part of the world, is there a social/cultural difference in expectations of the interaction with people around us, including workers in the service industry?

Yes, absolutely.

Is there something "weird" about that? No, absolutely not, and you can put down the superiority complex.

The GDPR page of Zoom is just a joke: https://explore.zoom.us/en/gdpr/

They basically claim that the customer (the one who signs the contract, not the Zoom user) who hosts the meeting is responsible for GDPR compliance by defining the right account settings. So if you are invited on a call you basically have no rights.
Yep, very odd, my guess would be this was sent to the reporter by their comms contact at Softbank and they literally copy/pasted it.

For context, here’s the full paragraph. The positive framing (“a GAIN”, and “significantly less…”) makes me think this came from someone spinning on Softbank’s behalf.

> For your piece, the Vision Funds actually posted a GAIN for the quarter of $0.8 billion, including shared assets such as its ARM holdings. Stripping out shared assets, SoftBank’s Vision Fund 1 and 2 and its Latin American fund together posted a quarterly investment loss of 13 billion yen ($91 million) — significantly less than the 2,919 billion yen loss a year ago ($20 billion).
Judging by all the construction I see at the fabs around me, the people I see moving in to get the new jobs working at the fabs or related businesses, I'd say its pretty real to me and those around me.

No, the reality is we're not getting reproductions. You're doing the same thing the upthread poster is and demanding that in the absence of evidence, we believe the most interesting assertion. But no, that's not how it works, and that's what the tweet is trying to tell you. It only seems "tone deaf" if you're invested in the argument.

Show HN: JavaScript UI Tool Making HTMLElements Based on Template Literals
I frequently make quick and small JS projects which do not need a complete React + Redux + Webpack environment (too heavy, bothersome to setup, re-learn and debug when it goes wrong).
Until now, I was mainly writing in them simple utils on top of native HTML API like `document.createElement` and `Element.prototype.textContent`.

However, on a recent project, I just hit a spot where I began to have a lot of nodes, which made this call-based syntax hard to read.
After wondering if I should use React and its nice JSX (leading to a whole setup) or learn another generally-complex UI framework with a nice syntax, I wondered if I could not just implement a solution that would both be readable yet very simple to setup and understand.

So here we comes! It's a very young and simple project (meant to be low maintenance), I may have missed some HTML peculiarities and I'm sure its share of performance gains.
The code is in the `main.mjs` file at the root of the repository.
I guess I'm old school and just have this built in belief that "stuff on the internet" should be free. I have never seriously considered paying for techcrunch or the information or the nyt or the atlantic etc. I just go around them and find the story somewhere else.
