How are you making money in travel without be being in hospitality? I can't imagine hotels are colluding in a conspiracy like you suggest or airlines.

You and other commenters are not getting what I am saying. Ignore them does not mean they don't face consequences, it means they don't get attention for it. Like no news headlines, no social media posts and likes,etc... if they have their own fanbase then ignore them too, ban, block, arrest,etc... just don't give them notoriety and fan the flames.

It's like with school shooters and serial killers, you shouldn't mention their names, publish their manifesto or do movies about them precisely to avoid copy cats or to give them what they want. If elon messes up twitter, leave it, don't give him attention for it.
> I corresponded about my trip to Munich over Facebook Messenger. It’s not secure and I knew that

Technically, this is intriguing. Is Facebook compromised, or do you think they compromised her phone, or the phone or whoever she was talking to?
The UK lottery does a lot of good with its funds and should be mentally separated from other betting/gambling firms in my opinion.

If you want to "gamble" its the best option, if you don't you can always wait for the government to inflate your cash away or spend it on Hilton rooms for sailors.
If 3/4 of the voting population agrees, then yes? That's explicitly what the US constitution allows.

Probably not in this generation but there's a theoretical possibility in some future generation, and it also applies the other way, polygamy, incest, etc., can also theoretically be made legal.

It's unlikely for a huge chunk of the population to intentionally lower their own status, but it's not a 0% chance.

It would be more difficult to do in Canada or some other countries, but also not totally impossible.

That's what voting and majorities and supermajorities means.
Meanwhile a 26 year old in the trades has probably been working 50-70 hours/week for the last 7 or 8 years. Has taken a total of about 30 paid days off in that time.

Yes, I imagine employing someone who lives in another country is not trivial. If they were a contractor with payments to a company I think it would be more straightforward.
class="news-button" means that it's a news button and will be styled the way that news buttons are styled. What's difficult about that?
Ask HN: Tips for HR Systems
I am trying to do a favour to a colleague, but I am totally bewildered by the amount of HR systems on the market, and I guessed every growing company has some HR needs so thought I would ask here.

I have used BreathHR before but it gets expensive for 150 staff. They would like more granular permissions too. They are particularly interested in assistance with staff onboarding, delivering contracts, h&s documentation etc. They are 100% UK based. They can't self-host.
This trend goes back far further than that, to be honest. For centuries in the western world's middle and upper class, the first born son inherited the family assets, the second born sons went into the priesthood and any other sons got an allowance and travelled the world to make their own way of things because there were no opportunities for them at home.
I think Angular looks like Htmx on crack but I do remember that Angular was first.

We used it in a project and it worked perfectly. If you have the need to write a lot of logic and changing of most of the UI parts dynamically on the page then React/Vue/Svelte/Angular is better suited. If you on the other hand has page that could be server rendered and some parts or lists that should load new parts into the page this may be the easiest way to do that.

You can also combine it with any backend language instead of us having one framework for C#, one for Java, one for Go and so on. I think this is one of the biggest USPs for Htmx.
(Author here). Yeah, it may be unfair. phx_gen_auth is definitely one of the main ones that I encountered and struggled with (compared to, eg, django-allauth or django-social-auth). Even just the basic approach to working with Phoenix seems to be much heavier on using code gen (`mix phx.gen.`, `mix phx.new.`, etc) than Django. Maybe that's my newness and the books and documentation I encountered, but it seems like a lot more of the code in a Phoenix project ends up being code that was originally generated compared to an equivalent Django project). Even from the very beginning, there's a lot of code generated when you do `mix phx.new`. Eg, this exists for a reason: https://www.phoenixdiff.org/

"so you will be pretty poorly informed if you try to steal land from our people and then build here"

Why insult people that are looking to purchase land on the island? Last time I checked Hawaii was part of America, they are not different people. Plus it sounds like the state is just going to seize the land from the families that own it and dictate what can be done with it? This seems pretty suspect and very much a "lets change the law, remove people's rights so I can look like a hero in the moment to the voters that were not affected and damn the long term consequences and well being of those that currently own the land"
....maybe Hawaii isn't in the best place to negotiate fairly because they just suffered wildfires and are trying to make sure the land doesn't get sold for nothing by the locals who lost everything?

This is the reason there is regulation and not just the invsible hand
I pretty much see adoption of technology as innovation. Not technical innovation for sure, but innovation in the sense of significant improvement over other solutions.

Don't you consider the original Mac adoption of the 3.5" floppy drive as innovation?
I've found the code gen approach to be very positive. Most of the generated code is minimal app-specific modules that in turn `use` Phoenix modules. This gives you a handy place to insert your customization w/o having to resort to dynamic metaprogramming contortions the way you used to have to in Rails.

I also like the philosophy of magical experiences, without magical code. Everything is very traceable. And most of the time you don't even need to use the generators - just make your module, register in the right places, and you're done.
Not everybody can develop such skills just because they wish so.
Same path for me here. In particular, I found unpolys codebase to be of higher quality.

Neopets is finally in its revival era
When I was young I had a friend who bought one Massachusetts (US) lottery ticket a week. I remember he "won" (basically got his money back). When he went to cash out the cashier asked him, "do you want the money.. or another ticket". He took the another ticket and promptly lost. lesson learned. You can't win if you don't play, but 2 tickets doesn't increase your odds significantly.

Where I worked there was a convenience store store. I got to know the owners a bit. One day they were posting a sign "People at our store won $850,000 on the lottery last year". I said, "wow thats a lot". She turned, shook her head and said "I know what they've spent... its not a lot." and proceeded into a mini tirade against gambling, which she promptly stopped when a customer entered the store. Its profitiable. But in the US with sports gambling everywhere, I wonder if lotteries have lost their luster.
If we 1) Eliminate "use it or lose it" restrictions on water rights, and 2) allow farmers to sell or lease their water rights, would they really complain about these two options being added to how they manage their assets? If they choose to stop growing alfalpha because they can lease their water rights to a municipal water supply for more money, or because they aren't going to lose those water rights if they don't use them, that seems to solve the problem, and everyone wins. So why aren't we doing that?
I actually bought it unlocked on eBay. It may be "missing frames" as you say, but I can't tell if it is. It certainly doesn't have lags or latencies all over the place. It works great
> all it does is do simple things by adding attributes to html elements

It’s extending html to make the most of http by adding some simple attributes.

Like all great things - the building blocks are simple, but the possibilities of what you can build with them is vast.

I think this is really well dealt with in the “opportunities” to extend html in this chapter of the Hypermedia Systems book:

I suppose coup-y is a slight improvement over genocide-y. Though I suspect that wouldn't have been much consolation to the native Hawaiians.
As someone who manages many developers who are 26 and younger, they are not "burned out." They are reaching for "burnout" as a convenient, widely-accepted-in-this-industry excuse for not delivering expected work. I've never seen this kind of behavior from non-Gen Z.

> so painting her as liberal

I'm not "painting" anything, she's a Russian person who has just emigrated from Russia on account of this war and who also happens to write in a literary online magazine, so most definitely she's not a conservative Slavophile. But, again, this might be a translation issue, because as I understand it calling someone a "liberal" in the States has become a slur, so that could explain your dissatisfaction with me calling her a liberal.

Bikes are only dangerous when they are mixed with high-speed auto traffic. On dedicated paths, they're pretty safe. More so when the bikes are lower-speed townie bikes (dutch style or similar, vs a "TdF race bike") and helmets are worn.

Cargo bikes exist. Racks and bags are available for most normal bikes. Some cargo bikes have platforms that can be used as a seat (similar to a motorcycle). No such thing as poor weather, only poor clothing choices. Yes, there are people who will never be able to ride a bike and we need to build with them in mind as well.

The US, in general, is terrible at building for an array of transportation alternatives. It's basically cars, cars, cars. Are bikes (or scooters or buses) a 100% substitute for cars today? No. Could they be for a large portion of the population? Absolutely, we just need to push for it. In the long run, we'll be better for it. Cars have massive costs - not just buying the car, but maintaining it, fueling it, building roads, opportunity costs related to parking spaces, environmental impacts, etc.

Even if we get to the point where a typical 3-4 person family has one car instead of 2-3, we'll be better off.

The US insulin market is a regulatory and legislative failure.

If you’re a biotech investor with a few billion dollars to burn, sure, a high-margin, high-volume biologic looks like an appealing bet.

But then you look at what’s involved in the FDA approval process even after Congress added carveouts for bio-similar generics.

And at the end of that billion dollar gauntlet, there’s Congress insisting that, damn-the-market and our own regulatory hurdles, insulin is so important it must be sold at a modest fraction over cost of production. This is a life saving substance, to which many who can certainly afford to pay would ascribe considerable value (this is the “demand” in supply & demand). The result of these price controls will inevitably be shortages, which will be blamed on the same greedy capitalists who are being blamed for the state of a market ultimately structured by this same Congress.
> It's as modern as the style parameter is, and it's as reusable as a moving a dirt pile from one corner to the next.

For most uses, the only thing really wrong with the style attribute is the lack of breakpoints for responsive layouts.
> So you need to bind together a connectedCallback and some rendering library

It's no different than jsx, you just get to pick whatever you want. I honestly believe that 90% of the dislike for WC comes from the name "connectedCallback". If they'd named it "onCreate" or something, everyone would be using it. It's named that because it's the lifecycle method for when a component becomes connected to the DOM, so it's technically correct - a component can be created and function without being connected to the DOM. But people really hate that name for some reason.

It's all the same stuff. You have to do all the same things regardless of framework. You declare a template somewhere, you define the props that will cause a render on change, and you keep track of the internal state of the component. With React or angular or vue or whatever, you still have to do all this, you just incur the cost of a massive framework too.

> So you have to manually wire class properties to manually call render.

Yeah, 1 line of code. And in exchange you get to avoid a whole framework, get much better performance and have real control over your component's render cycle. Also, you still have to do this with react, it's just a different syntax.

> Since you mentioned lit-html, that "lightweight rendering library" has all the "cognitive load" of React, and is getting more complex

Huh? Lit-html is simpler than handlebars. Are you confusing it with LitElement?
Because you moved the goalposts. First you said that it “almost never” happens, then that it “won't actually happen”.
He's correct that this won't happen with the profit motive. Let's hope there's another way that is compatible, or that we can find another way of outpacing commercial research in time.
Coupling energy production success to job creation is a mistake, and the DOE is taking political wins at the cost of long-term energy abundance. Labor inherently puts a floor on the price of energy, no matter how cheap or clean the technology is!

"Cheap, clean energy" IS the consumer benefit, not the bureaucracy and make-work.

We should aim for a world where near-infinite energy production is produced by one guy in DC with a button that says "PRODUCE MORE".
In today's uses, cascade _with_ custom properties (the vars defined within :root ) are powerful and are what I leverage when providing theme-able ui libraries. Dark mode, light mode, large mode can all be solved using custom properties which to me most exemplify the power of the cascade.
It depends. In Hawaii, a lot of the the land is not owned fee simple. ~60% of houses are owned by the banks.
Do we prioritize agriculture or human use, given modern water constraints?

Aren't those basically the same things just at different stages? Where should the food production move to? I ask because there is a strong movement to re-shore everything so moving it off-shore probably won't get much traction.

It's probably a different topic all together but I would agree that most things we produce are not required for healthy well nourished people but there would probably be a diverse range of opinions on what foods those might be. My personal preference would be to nix anything that is not Paleolithic, i.e. get rid of anything that is not meat or vegetable or does not contribute to that chain so we keep the things that feed livestock and stop producing the rest
I personally would want to know who in my local community is doing the beheading, who is supporting it, and what the reason is for the beheading. I am against moderation in the online world. We need to bring it all into the light and be transparent. Perhaps we just have "flag and make this post blurry" button on the post and keep the content as a compromise.

Montana has a massive amount of coal reserves, several productive oil fields, and a lot of refining capacity. If you close the oil refineries and leave coal in the ground, a lot of communities in Montana are going to become ghost towns. The lives of the children of people in those towns is going to suck -- poverty, drugs, and an early death if you can't get out.

The fact that those jobs are offset by growth in solar and energy jobs doesn't help without a centralized wealth transfer, which ain't gonna happen.

The problem with US political-economics right now is that the future of the country depends on making a series of "society wins, some regions win, some regions lose (win-win-lose)" decisions. Because the societal win is net, it could be made into a very attractive win-win-win situation. But everyone knows from the last half century of globalization that taking win-win-lose and turning it into win-win-win is a false promise that won't pan out.
What makes you think tailwind would be hell in the future though? It's just a load of classes on html elements. Maintenance is pretty easy.

I do agree with you on the headline though, of course tailwind hasn't won anything!
Imagine a post-apocalyptic world with fully functional technology that surviving humans are hopelessly locked out from using. The Master-Blaster rulers will be the ones who are, or who control, the hackers.
Web technologies like this take hold because they make producing something more attainable to a wider group of people. Who cares if it's "worse".

I'm a backend developer, who works mostly in python. I'm probably never going to learn CSS but I can produce a user interface that looks like I'm competent by copy-pasting tailwind divs. In 5 years, I'll hire someone who knows CSS to fix it. It'll be cheap because webflow and squarespace are allowing graphic designers to build websites, which is squeezing the demand for CSS as a skill.

From what I'm reading, the problem appears to be growing water hungry crops and then shipping them overseas. I think we can accomplish keeping the price of US produce down by granting lower water prices for farmers to grow crops intended for domestic use while not doing the same for farmers shipping alfalfa to China?

If they were serious about energy from inertial confinement fusion they’d pursue

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_ion_fusion

which could get much better driver efficiency, shot rates, etc. It could possibly function with direct drive and have cheaper targets too. The economics might work for a full-scale power plant but the high energy-per-particle requirement means you need a big machine to do any experiments at all.
It seems like we're still at quite early stages of collective intelligence amplification. It would be cool to have a Community Notes for HN. It would be awesome to automatically find consensus on comments and posts that lack attention. I suppose the votes are currently behind a private API on HN. It would be cool to play with sliders for the thresholds and see what different content floats or sinks. It's great to see Vitalik poking around with this sorta stuff, with less than 200 lines of Python code - I'd love to see it vastly simplified. I'm glad he pointed to Polis also recently. Really interesting stuff.

Edit: Actually it occurs to me, you might be able to use ML to infer cross-partisan support from arbitrary sources like HN comments and posts. Especially if trained on Community Notes. Might need to absorb some HN audience specific preferences / biases though.
It is more general than the west, it is that Good people are naive. They don't understand how many people are willing to lie and kill to get even petty gains from it. The USA is struggling with this asymmetry internally right now too. We are slowly and politely trying to prosecute people who attempted to overturn an election while they incite civil unrest and pass laws protecting themselves from prosecution
These were internally developed tools, so nothing we really marketed externally but yes we definitely could have done a better job at our marketing within the organization. A lot of the criticism to our approach was typically not so much that the ideas were bad, but that they were "different from how everyone else does it" and by everyone else they typically meant Facebook and Google.

For example, global state management approaches like Redux were more or less incompatible with how we approached state management. We thought it was insane to build apps around the idea of global state stores (and I still do) but Redux became all the rage and eventually won the day. There was a lot of collateral damage as people then tried to shoehorn Redux everywhere. I left around that time, but hear that the cycle have repeated a few times since. Redux (and other tooling) didn't work out as expected so wheels have been invented again over and over. It's the way things go I guess, I don't dwell too much on it.

We probably could've done a better job at communicating why our approach was better, but ultimately we had limited ability to force anyone to use our tooling. There's also a hiring aspect in there. As Redux and other libraries that were "the thing" started to make their way into job descriptions it became harder and harder to convince talent that they should join us, because we didn't have that brand recognition and used in-house tooling. At some point you have to make trade offs and sadly top tier financial institutions aren't necessarily known for leading the pack in terms of innovation. It's kind of sad really.

Anyway I'm not particularly hard on myself or bitter about it at all actually. The self deprecating jab about poor execution should be read as tounge-in-cheek really, I'm very proud of the work we did back then.
It makes sense to add it if the content of the submission is time-sensitive and so knowledge of the date makes a difference (e.g. an article about some "new breakthrough discovery" which woudn't be such anymore if the piece was written in 2004).
