From ownership economy towards economy of usage
I got interested what does functional economy entail and how it differs from its current form. It was the following – instead of buying and owning everything we need for our daily lives such as cars, electronics etc. we lend them out for a certain period from public depots and return them same place when we don’t need them anymore. This in turn makes production, distribution and recycling much more optimized processes. Contrary to the now where we are piling up goods at our homes until it’s all full and then we get rid of them gradually in this new form of economy we don’t keep stock of anything unnecessary with us since we can always get it nearby anytime needed. Simultaneously since every product has been developed for reuse rather than one time personal use planned obsolescence doesn’t make sense anymore. Every item is designed so that it can last its maximum lifespan and cycles of use since we don’t buy it. More importantly – these goods were no longer produced by the mighty mastodon corporations of the past but by their transformed entities which were flat local cooperatives and autonomous single units. The most fascinating fact was that indeed there was no pricing. You simply go, get, use and return to the same place anytime you wish. I wondered how are resources managed when there are no prices. It turned out that the aforementioned single contract for global unconditional cooperation and mutual aid guaranteed common ownership of all resources on planet Earth and free and equal access to them.

Whether or not you wear earrings is highly heritable. The number of fingers on your hands is not. People like the author use the word "heritable" in a way that strongly suggests they mean "IQ is genetically determined", but heritability statistics are just a way to ask that question, not answer it.

Also: that's not how the ad hominem fallacy works. It's not a religious law against criticizing groups of people; it's a logical flaw in a particular argument --- the commenter you're replying to didn't make that particular argument (in fact: they made the opposite kind of argument), and so you can't invoke it like a magic spell.

Interesting. I use fonts.com which apparently is also Monotype. The illusion of a competitive market.
And Linux/Android is the most popular OS in the world and all of its included fonts are free (not using Monotype fonts).

The article is conflating “where fonts come from” to imply meaning all fonts. But it’s really meaning where all PAID fonts come from.

Free fonts like Roboto, Inter, Open Sans etc are used significantly more than any single paid Monotype font.

Back to eye glasses, I don’t know anyone making free frame & lens at mass scale. That industry is all paid product.
No. Trades happen because people disagree with the value of the company. One person thinks the value is higher, other thinks it's lower. They are arguing and they're willing to put money behind their opinion. Faster the argument, the faster the price discovery is.

An analogy would be operating Hacker News by publishing all the opinions once a day like a print newspaper. The back and forth arguments would take weeks... you post, some responds the next day, you respond the third day. Not good.

Wanting a sell at a certain price doesn’t mean you want to sell at a lower price. The desire to sell is often directly correlated to the price. If someone offered me double for our families house, I’d sell. If they offer me slightly over market value I’d just hang up the phone. For most people there is a price, it’s probably not what an average buyer sees as a reasonable price if it’s not on the market.

I’m a long time Plex user (bought a lifetime pass for $75 some number of years ago).

I periodically try jellyfin, usually after plex does something else annoying to its userbase, and keep coming back to plex.

Jellyfin’s menus experience, particularly the cover art and metadata matching, seems to be worse than plex’s and I haven’t bothered to figure out what the difference is.
I’ve found something similar: to fall asleep visualise something vividly. It could be a scenario (a daydream as you suggest) or a scene.

The steps go something like this: be still, relax face, stop thinking (or distract self with audio you’re heard before), vividly picture, wake up.
Their Apple TV app is pretty bad compared to Plex, and that is like 99% of my usage.

I never heard of reshade before but that is quite crazy. The only explanation I can think of is that the backend they connect to implements TLS 1.3 but in a broken way (because the client crypto lib would otherwise fall back to TLS 1.2 on its own) which really makes you wonder just how broken the crypto impl on their servers is and how many vulnerabilities they’re wide open to.

I really don't like the idea of the lump sum for 100 years of service upfront.

(Put loosely, what if they blow it all on executive bonuses the first few years of ramp-up, run out of suckers, and then have no funds to actually provide the service for the next 97 years. I'm not an accountant, but I'd guess not a lot of businesses would want to have 97 years of obligations without recurring revenue, and actually intending and able to honor those obligations.)

What about treat it more like a life insurance policy: you pay monthly/yearly premiums as long as you're alive, and the "lifetime" only kicks in when you die? And the dotcom company covers the "lifetime" part with its own ample insurance, from some company that's been around since the figurative stone age, and won't likely fail until the next stone age?

That spreads out recurring revenue for the company into something plausibly sustainable longer, increases the pool of sales prospects who could afford to buy into this (sales is a different matter), and increases the chance that this service will actually be provided in the end.

(Assuming that they want this to work, and it's not a PR tactic to promote a visionary CEO image.)

> US is mad that Bangladesh and India are continuing to work with Russia

At least with India, the response is annoyed, not mad. Washington wants New Delhi to counter Beijing more than it cares about Russia, especially since Putin’s own goals in Ukraine. In a cynical calculation, Indian industry building up—even on Russian oil—is a net gain. (America and India are also fundamentally aligned on a lot of values, both good and bad.)

Bangladesh doesn’t have similar military potential, so the calculation is less clear. But given its size, its primary value is in respect of its effrct on India, so the same logic (with a bias towards stability at all costs) ports.
The problem is that once you say that something has a strong genetic component, two different genetic groups having the exact same distribution of that attribute would be really surprising.

But while we are fine with different genetic groups having different incidences for hair color, nose shapes or skin pigmentation, and are slowly coming to grips with different genetic groups having different incidences of various illnesses, and sometimes different reactions to them, the idea that different genetic groups could have statistically significant intelligence differences feels wrong.
Incredible that pointing out the sympathies of the poster lies with the party responsible for Hindu genocide during the 1971 Bangladesh liberation war makes it Hindutva.

Does pointing out that someone's sympathies lies with banned pro-Hitler speech calling for the Holocaust in Germany makes one a Zionist?

Let's leave aside why being a Hindutva or Zionist is wrong.
“Efficient market hypothesis” is probably one of the most misleadingly named concept: this result has nothing do to with market “efficiency” (by any common meanings of this word). If market prices were purely random, then nobody could ever “beat the market” either, but a market that give purely random valuation to assets is the least efficient market possible: it means that price is just completely useless as an indicator of anything.

Other than this, this is just a collection of bad takes based on flawed understanding of topics (inheritable ≠ innate, GDP ≠ well being, etc.)

I'm sorry but this is a self created and imposed concept. People promoting the NPC trope are just observing known psychological and sociological traits and phenomena but assigning new and scientifically unsound meanings to them that's apparently based on video games?

Sounds like owning nothing and being happy.

Once you remove ownership people have lose interest in looking after the object. It rapidly degrades and then the cost to clean it up becomes too expensive for the rent seeker.

I'm also in the rural 'my ISP is a WIFI ISP' boat.. I pay for 10/2! While they do burst its not uncommon for my speeds to dip down into single digits. Sometimes I have to tune my video streams down as low as they'll go. Packet latency can frequently be so bad that playing online games is VERY DIFFICULT so I mostly play single player, downloads of new games often take 24 hours+.

My ISP when I talk to them about their speed issues "Well, 7mbps is all you need to stream Hulu", which is.. a terrible response. Want to do something else while streaming? What if _two_ people want to stream? What if I want to stream a video while my partner is playing a game online?

Ads are simply a _HUGE WASTE_ of my bandwidth, so I filter as much as I can.

Like all things in life there are more shades of gray than just black and white. You think it is as easy as setting a law. Your law would not only have unknown consequences. It would also most likely have negative consequences as the market would quickly adapt.

I understand your point, but LLVM-MOS is a bad example. You gain LLVM’s language optimizations, as you point out. But LLVM’s assumed architecture is so different from the 6502 that lowering the code to assembly introduces many superfluous instructions. (As an example, the 6502 has one general purpose register, but LLVM works best with many registers. So LLVM-MOS creates 16 virtual registers in the first page of memory and then generates instructions to move them into the main register as they are used.) It’s of course possible to further optimize this, but the LLVM-MOS project isn’t that mature yet. So assembly programmers can still very much do better.
The Greeks knew the Earth was round because they could look at ships appearing over the horizon and observe that the tops of their sails would appear first. Eratosthenes was further able to calculate the radius of the Earth to a decent first approximation simply by using the shadows cast by two sticks at reference locations. If they could do it, you can do it too[0].

The idea that you "cannot verify" is a very pedantic comment, and using flat Earth as a basis only makes it more comical. Of course you can't know anything "with absolute truth", but nobody cares about that. The relative distribution of evidence strongly disconfirms some hypotheses, there is already a culture of strong distrust and independent verification in the hard sciences (see the LK-99 saga), and you can rely on the long-term output of that process in the same way you can rely on your GPS to just work without needing to independently launch your own satellites. Needing to be your own scientist now is like needing to be your own farmer: completely unnecessary for most people.

[0] Yes, flat earthers claim these results are spurious because of optical illusions caused by hot air or the like. But the relative distribution of the evidence for _that_ hypothesis is pretty darn slim, which only furthers my point.
A few points...

If you've got a Raspberry Pi 4 as your proxy, aren't you already struggling to pump more than 600Mbps over your network? Even if so, are you really pulling down more than 300Mb/s over a single TLS connection?

Even in that scenario, AES encryption/decryption can be parallelized (https://github.com/gurupunskill/parallel-aes).

To me, it seems like a pretty narrow set of scenarios where you'd not have the processing power to decrypt/encrypt at the speed of your network.
This article kind of reminds me about the opening scene in Spirited Away with the abandoned amusement park.
But... can you do it at 1Gbps on a single core of a Raspberry Pi? You have to both parse and then reencode it. 1000Mbps = 125MBps. 125MBps/(2MB/message) = 62 messages per second.

62 messages per second means that you have 16ms to do 5 things: decrypt the TLS, parse the protobuf message, filter the message, encode the protobuf message, encrypt the TLS traffic. If you take more than 16ms, you cannot achieve 1Gbps.

We've already established[0] that you can't even hit 1Gbps with just the TLS traffic. The protobuf messages might be fast to parse... but they will still slow things down even further.

Im so sick of these bike nazis. Im sorry but not every town and city is designed so everyone can ride a bike 5 minutes from their house. Some of us live many miles from where we work or where the nearest store is, some of us are crippled or elderly so doing so would not be feasble anyway.

It’s not rare. Ubiquiti is very popular for setting up point to point links getting a single internet connection shared amongst a bunch of rural homes.
There are a lot of things that really should be designed for non ownership. Things you use rarely like boats rvs and special equipment would be best shared. For some reason the boat share model doesn’t work as well and that might be a consequence of unhiding the true ownership
I have asked this question repeatedly every time someone mentions inspecting TV meteor requests via a LAN proxy and never received a satisfactory answer..

If there are known exploits for the TV (a bunch are now running old and unpatched Android), the answer is easy enough (root it and do what you want - though that opens different and maybe easier options for ad stripping), but I’ve heard of it on Apple TV where jailbreaking isn’t so easy. Perhaps MDM deployments?

> Turns out Vercel are trying to kill solutions like Tamagui

No one is trying to kill Tamagui. Why would we want that?

> the higher ups there are investors in Tailwind

I don’t know any investors in Tailwind at Vercel. I’m certainly not one. I don’t think they’ve even taken outside investment. And it’d be against our ethical and fiduciary responsibilities to favor one solution over another on that basis.

> are trying to consolidate styling around it for their own ecosystem benefit

Tailwind is a great solution that’s earned the hearts and minds of the community, and that’s why we include it as an option in `create-next-app`.

It’s an option because you can bring your own styling solutions to Next if you’d like (like yours: https://tamagui.dev/docs/guides/next-js)

Maybe your perception is backwards? Large parts of the ecosystem are consolidating on Tailwind, and it’s our job to provide sensible defaults according to that.
Same thing for me, especially the 'Mars terraforming' link to his own blog, among the others.

I don't say his calculations/estimations are wrong, but Mars not having magnetic field always seemed to me a no go for terraforming.

> If you've got a Raspberry Pi 4 as your proxy, aren't you already struggling to pump more than 600Mbps over your network?

The Pi 4 is capable of a full gigabit connection, unlike previous Raspberry Pis. So, no, not fundamentally.

> To me, it seems like a pretty narrow set of scenarios where you'd not have the processing power to decrypt/encrypt at the speed of your network.

The whole scenario was set up by the comment at the top of this thread: "I'd be really surprised if MITMing TLS on an RPi 4 was actually infeasible, even when using RSA cryptography purely in software."[0]

I consider it "infeasible" if it is a significant bottleneck on the network. It could be infeasible for multiple reasons, as you're alluding to, but that only strengthens my argument.

> Even in that scenario, AES encryption/decryption can be parallelized

An AES implementation that no one uses is not a very compelling argument, except as a hypothetical. Do trusted AES implementations do the encryption in parallel? That's all that matters, IMO.

If the reason to not go into the office is to not risk some accident out in the world, then you might as well also not go to stores, out to restaurants, or movies or shows. You shouldn't even go to a park, and certainly never travel just for fun. Just stay in your house at all times.

That sounds like a horrible way to live to me. There are other reasons to prefer WFH, but fear of the world shouldn't be one of them, IMO.
Ask HN: Does Your GitHub Repo Need a Landing Page
There are over 28 million public Github repos. Most of them don't have landing pages.

The README is great for explaining how it works, but it is not doing a great job to express the value proposition for potential end users.

I can see the value of a landing page. It opens your project to a wider audience, explains it in simple terms, invites users to engage (maybe through Discord invite) and possibly open monetization opportunities.

It is interesting to see what AutoGPT is doing on their site: https://news.agpt.co/

What do you think - is it valuable to have a landing page for a GitHub repo?

I wrote more about it in my blog: https://aisuperfounder.substack.com/p/why-your-github-repo-deserves-a-landing
Full anonymity is indeed cancer. But pseudonymity and what I call “train seat conversation” are still different from full disclosure. E.g. I’ve discussed many things on trains and on forums that I wouldn’t discuss elsewhere. And it wasn’t any sort of -ism or matginal topic, just something that opens up a little more about you than your official image at some circle does. Another example is my HN account. It is what I call “absolutely normal”, but tbh I’m a little nervous about showing it to someone I know, because it feels like sharing a diary, even if it isn’t one. The idea that you can just scroll through my written thoughts is very uncomfortable (but strangely okay if HN fellas do it). For that reason I avoid logging in or visiting this site like at work or near people I know.

I’m not disagreeing, just had something to add, basically unrelated to the context.
