HN is the closest thing there is to a news aggregator with civil, open discussions. If there’s one closer, I’d love to know.
I was under the impression that manufacturing moved to China for the bottom price first, but higher value manufacturing remained there because there's infrastructure symbiosis now.

If you're a absolute lowest-value-add manufacturer (think cereal box toys), yeah, you could put that anywhere plastic stock could be delivered. But as you start to make more sophisticated products, supply chains get way more relevant. If your cereal box toy acquires a blinking LED, a coin cell battery, and a screw to hold the battery box closed, it becomes compelling to manufacture the main casting in China because all the other parts are already made there and the logistics will be cheaper and more responsive.

This seems like the same play as early Silicon Valley, and Taiwan in the era of early PC clones.
> if you're only going to use a portion of a server, why buy an entire server?

Unless your compute needs fall below those of an Rpi Zero, it is almost always cheaper to buy physical hardware once that doesn't have a monthly bill attached.

Sure, scalability is a real value proposition from the hyperscalers that isn't the same with physical hardware, but is scalability worth paying 10x+ in OpEx for what could've been 1x in CapEx? For most businesses, I have a hard time making financial sense of that one.

> I've tried to get interested in much of the mainstream rock and popular music and much of it does nothing for me. I simply cannot understand why I like classical music and why so many others have no interest in it at all.

This resonates with me. I got hooked young and it has stuck with me through the decades. There are vast swathes of 'classical' that I won't listen to but just about everything I do listen to fits within the 'classical' umbrella.

> Except for a tiny percentage of oddballs like me, classical music is essentially dead.

It is possible to be more optimistic if one looks at South Korea, Japan, and China. There are superb young instrumentalists and ensembles coming from there and they have enthusiastic audiences.
I've bought a few boxes of wine in US grocery stores. It's just a plastic bag in the box.

It's handy for people who want to drink 1-2 glasses of wine a day, because the wine spoils slower than in an open bottle.

I haven't bought one in awhile because I prefer beer.
My aunt - one of 9 kids, and the only one who assiduously avoided alcohol and tobacco - died at 60 from cancer on her tongue. It took about 6 months from diagnosis to death.

You never know when your life will change. Death is possible anytime, but also an accident, injury, death of a loved one, it can be anything. I had an early-to-mid-life crisis in my early 30s where my own mortality became much more real to me and it altered my thinking and behavior.

I honestly can’t say if a quick, sudden, unexpected death is preferable to a long, drawn out, terminal death that gives a long time for careful thinking and study. I think I would prefer the latter despite the indignities and pain that you succumb to, as the author clearly shows. The idea that you can be walking down the street and have a heart attack or aneurysm is deeply disturbing to me, although I know people who died this way and it is a fairly likely way to die.

We should always, always, always be thankful for what we have. If you wake up and you can walk, if your children are healthy, if you have food to eat. So often today we let small grievances and petty issues ruin our happiness. In reality these problems are nothing compared to true suffering.

A friend is a hospice worker for dying children, who helps assemble their memory books and plan their final events and wishes. She does this work week after week with multiple children at a time. Imagining the slow death of my own child, planning memories, explaining to them about heaven, it is an astronomical amount of suffering that I cannot force myself to follow a logical thought experiment to conclusion.

I have followed along with this brave man’s story. It can happen to anyone, at any time.

One idea that comforts me is that every single living creature that existed before me has died, and every creature that exists now will die, and everything in the future will die. You cannot have the gift of life without the curse of death. While we all die alone, we all experience death - it is only lonely in the actual experience but it is something that all of us will participate in.

> Pilots must request waivers from the FAA for a number of medical conditions, including mental illness, some cardiac issues, and substance abuse. But the wait for those waivers can take months in the FAA’s understaffed medical certification system, one reason pilots say they limit what they report.

Months? Hah, that's rich. You'll be waiting at least a year. And out several thousand dollars from all the tests. And don't forget you have to see a very tiny list of FAA approved examiners and psychiatrists. Then you get to go through the process again and again for the rest of your career.

Oh yeah, and if your medication ever changes, you get to start the whole thing over.
I guess you could say I don’t disagree but at the same time Musk is so wealthy that it’s hard to say it’s foolish.

It also boggles my mind how these investors give money without doing ANY technical due diligence.

I think you may have missed my point.

The actual length of a nautical mile only makes sense because we have this weird way of measuring earth (based on how we measure circles).

NM's were obviously defined using that weird numbering system - 360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes in a degree, 60 seconds in a minute - so it shouldn't be a surprise that they 'feel real' within that system.

Given a quarter of the circumference of earth is ~ 10,000km, it seems ripe for using base-10 and metric units ... but for the fact, obviously, that these arc-based-at-6-thousand-km-from-the-centre measurements are highly variable and not hugely useful.

> The point of calling nautical miles 'real' is that you can do easy mental math with them to express a distance in terms of latitude and longitude.

And that's not true either.

At best it works for latitude -- even a small way from the equator you'll suffer the effects of longitudinal meridians converging.

But at that point, why not just do your mental math in minutes rather than (yet another) mile variant?
I haven't thrown out any dubious security advice. I made a point which seems to have gone over your head, and that you've turned into both a strawman and discussion of semantics. Absurd. And you don't get to dictate the terms of any discussion.

All your comment is showing here is that you need to have the last word and want to argue for the sake of arguing. So have at it. You're no longer worth my time.
I’m surprised that there isn’t GPS coordinate system which is just kilometers. Instead of 360 degrees uses 40,000 km. The real calculation would use the real distances but the approximation is close enough. This means don’t have to do any conversion to distances, at least for metric folks.

One problem with degrees is that hard to convert to useful distances. This tricks help a lot, but it would be better to have no conversion.
Well, it still applies in aviation, as distance and ground speed used in navigation are measured at sea level irrespective of altitude.

> Bond yield collapsing as in returns. China 10-15 index is making positive 5% returns, vs US long dated treasuries collapsing by -15%.

That's because US interest rates have climbed, depressing the value of existing bonds at low interest rates. Interest rates climbed because of inflation and an overheated economy. China interest rates are dropping, keeping bond yields high, because their economy is stalling. I'm not sure you could paint that as a good thing.

> There's good and bad deflation.

No, deflation is generally viewed as bad because it incentivizing savings and further depressed economic activity.

> PRC is potentially high income this year if not already

I mean sure, high income as in $13,000 per capital GDP, which is 5x smaller than USD GDP per capita. It's certainly not going to be in the league of highly developed countries any time soon.

> The incentive for the PRC is to stay statistically middle income for as long as possible due to WTO perks and rhetoric with the global south.

That's a ridiculous statement. Countries want low growth because of WTO perks? Really? What is the point of WTO perks other than increasing wealth?

> PRC is basically the 2nd least trapped country (after US)

You're talking about a different kind of trap than middle income trap if you're throwing the US into the bucket.
I think HN is indeed special because it's noticeably less full of shit comments than many other forums. I might even go so far as to say shit comments typically make up a minority of the comments here instead of the majority.

That said, I wouldn't want to stop anyone who wants to use this tool from using it. I'm just not convinced it's necessary or helpful.
> He talked about other less popular libraries so it’s already popular enough to make the cut. [0]

This implies that you think he'd have known of your library because it was bigger than others he included, and left it out (for some reason??)?

I think you're being a little rough towards Theo in that video, and also to people in this thread like Swyx (basically trying to discount anything he said by calling him a vercel shill).

The CSS video was literally "this is where I used to be (in this category), this is where I am now (in this category), here's another category that pretty much everyone used to be in. Here are a couple other libraries in those categories in case you wanted to compare where you're at, and whether where I'm at would be a good usecase for your team."

It's really just a subjective opinion piece, and he states that he's happy where he's at, so I don't see why he'd go out of his way putting time into a library he has no plan on using in the near future (tamagui) even if it may be a better fit. It fits into a neat little bow tie of the theme of his channel and that is "these are the tools I use, and I want to talk about why I use them" and sometimes those tools give him money when he does it.

Not raping people is "an ideal" for you? That's really useful to know. A lot of people would prefer not to be around someone with an admitted propensity for violent crime.

I don't think most of us have such a hard time refraining from hurting people for kicks as you appear to. Honestly, I can't even remember the last time I committed a felony due to sexual frustration. Usually, I just take care of business myself. But perhaps I'm old-fashioned, don't confuse sex and rape, or lack your terrifying sense of entitlement.
My elementary school was one of those that switched to the bagged milk in the 90s. It was a pretty radical change, warranting a puppet show to ease us into this eco-friendly future. I doubt I'll ever forget they (the puppets) only gave it one thumb up, since the other thumb had to cover the straw hole when you plunge it into the milk bag. We were, uh, more enthusiastic and regularly gave two thumbs up.

>You still go to a models page and get blank images with no potential preview to know what you're getting unless they allow free subscriptions. It's always a gamble. Just feels performatively sketch.

Yeah, that's why I prefer Fansly if I can help it, unless the model has other social media with proper "previews" of their work. Fansly can still do that, but AFAIK it's not the default behavior. Or at least, the canonical method is so ubiquitous that it feels like the default.

But I guess I'm not too surprised. The genius thing models do that no other website gets away with is having 2-3 tiers of funding. So it's normal to not only pay for a subscription to see anything, you constantly pay to see even more individual content. It's not uncommon for a model to charge $13/month for a sub and then charge $10 for what could be a single picture (one that may not necessarily be different from what you could find on Instagram, mind you).

And that's not even talking about how you can post "fundraisers" or other misc. kinds of money raising on those sites.

And I guess the demand there was enough to succeed. Takes the best of both worlds of premium sites and webcam tipping and requires less effort than either of them for a single model to be successful.

I wonder if that's a reflection of how frustrated the current youth are in their (lack of?) sexual escapades? pumping out a sub and per post money's to see what could be as tame as an instagram feed, but at least they message you "directly".
Just starting to record food in an app made a huge difference for me, I was working out pretty aggressively and making progress on lifting/biking but my weight wasn't moving until I started recording calories. I still have days where I go over by a lot, but grazing was the number one behavior that improved out of just laziness. Recording 8 Oreos, one at a time across a day, is annoying. I've lost 27 pounds across the past two years, pretty consistently/slowly (with a few backslides).

My average calorie deficit on a daily basis is probably 100-150 calories max which is barely noticeable (I'm never hungry) but the app does prevent erasing that by eating 2 cookies at 1 am when I'm not actually hungry.
Nope. Boy scouts, not cub scouts, so a lot of us were closer to adult stride than kid. If you measure a typical adult pace (same foot to same foot) it's probably just under 5 feet unless they're deliberately pacing to measure something. You get a feel for what it takes for your own pace to hit 5 feet so you can repeat it.
That sounds a little annoying! But in general it sounds like a decent scheme.

People are slowly getting trained to take their own bags to grocery stores/supermarkets here in Aus and in the UK, as the old single-use plastic shopping bags have been outlawed and they charge for paper or good quality re-usables. (Is that happening in the US?)

I'm not sure if I could see it taking off for containers in general, but maybe for milk it could.

> I agree with much of what you say, but I think you overestimate the effect reducing population would have on the environment.

I don't think I estimated it anywhere, so I don't think I am. And in fact I was not just talking about CO2 emissions and climate change, to the contrary I explicitly said actually that climate change is one of a long, long, long list of massive environmental problems we're facing. That's the thing, even if we do "solve" climate change somehow, we're not remotely in the clear.

Reducing (or just not growing) population makes everything easier. CO2 emissions. Land required for food, lithium and other minerals and metals required for cars and computers and batteries and buildings, farming and housing footprint, clean water. Everything. No other measure is as staggeringly effective in reducing the human footprint on the environment as not increasing population.

> It's one of the slowest ways to reduce our carbon emissions. If by 2070 population (in some country) is 30% lower than today that's a dramatic change. But the effect on the environment (land use, carbon emissions etc) is likely not more than 30%, and that's not much!

It's compounding and it certainly is an issue. US CO2 emissions peaked 50 years ago if population was stable.
