What do you think Linux would look like today if the kernel team was friendly and outgoing and willing to put on kid gloves and help all the newcomers? What would it look like if everyone's code were "good enough"?

What would enterprise look like if Linus was polite and held everybody's hand who wanted to push code into the kernel? Would Linux be as far along as it is? Would it be the same quality?

I can't believe how much you managed to improve this since that first HN post. You seem to have solved the phase distortion problem completely, and the lyrics are just insane.

A more fully featured UI to eg. align lyrics & append more (temporally consistent) generated music and you have a killer app.

Concerned about the number of lightweight marketing blog posts making it to the front page of HN. It’s like it’s part of the “marketing to devs” playbook at this point.
I'm not a fan of gas stoves, but lack of cooking area ventilation is the bigger problem. The process of cooking emits a great amount of indoor air pollutants regardless of the fuel source. In the US, recirculating fans (AKA "forehead greasers") are very common, especially in rental units.
I don't understand these guys, or at least the VCs that invest in them. For a fusion startup there is one need-to-have and a few nice-to-haves. The absolute need-to-have is the energy out. It has to be higher than the energy in. Everything else is secondary. Nobody has ever come close to the need-to-have, the NIF result notwithstanding. Lack of neutrons is nice to have, but until you have something that produces net energy, it's only putting the cart before the horse.
The only thing I can think of is if they want to share controversial posts while having the ability to deny that they wrote it (as long as they don’t actually create a link to it from their own site).

>This works fine with elections with a turnout measured >30 million people in the UK, which means it works fine for the largest election in the US (California presidential election).

Not necessarily. California will literally have dozens of contests on the same ballot. Here's last year's non-presidential ballot in San Francisco. There are about 24 contests on this, and this doesn't appear to list ballot measures, a California favorite. It's impractical to hand-count California ballots under the procedure you describe given how very long they are.

I read a lot of economics blogs. A lot of them seem to have the joke, "Brazil is the country of the future, and it always will be!"

The meaning is that Brazil should be a more successful country. Great location, favorable demographics, lots of natural resources, peaceful neighbors, large population, mostly stable government. But it just never quite becomes successful. But in could, in the future! But that's what people also said in the past.

Somewhere I read that around 1900, Brazil had the same GDP per capita as the United States. And that was the peak of Brazil.

I'm not trying to pick on Brazil. I have a favorable opinion of Brazil and its citizens. I hope that Brazil proves the economists wrong and becomes the country that it can be.

I'm not saying I'm blocked or blocking someone, I'm saying I'm tapping out. At 4pm-something I'm not going to spend the next half hour reloading the context in my head and getting back to where I had been before the 2-minute (i.e. 15-minute) call, not because I can't, but because I'm tired and don't want to.

If I were working at a hospital and debugging a medical device that somebody needed to have online that evening, then you can be darn certain I'd reload that context in my head over and over until the work was done.

But for shipping widgets back and forth, there's no point in making myself tired and resentful. I can pick it up the next day.

Counter argument: Every crypto coin is, more or less, the same. Sure there's some underlying difference in how they work (proof of stake vs proof of work) but they don't do anything wildly different.

AI companies, on the other hand, ARE fairly different in the products they're offering. So while it can make sense to talk about the crypto world as a whole when on a thread about an individual coin, that makes less sense when discussing individual AI companies IMO.

And that worked out well! When you optimize for reducing costs, not outcomes, the outcome you get is antibiotic resistant bacteria!

Seriously though, if we take a "maximize outcomes" approach, then doctors don't actually need to spend any time with a patient - the computer can do it. Maybe this isn't optimal for wealthy first-worlders, but it will be better than what poor first-worlders and everybody else have now. Many people in the US simply do not go to the doctor, unless it's an unavoidable ER trip.
I agree, and that's what I just said. YouTube Shorts has not existed very long, but it could very well be on the roadmap to add a volume control to the desktop version.

It’s certainly possible there was no cause. I’m just imagining that falling deeply in love with someone and marrying them, only to lose them a short time later could cause one to lose faith in the idea of committing to a single person.

The unfortunate answer is that it’s coming, and in the form of the Web Environment Integrity API, aka device attestation. If/when they manage to deploy this to enough devices, they will be able to restrict viewing to only allow ”blessed” clients. It needs hardware-level support, and that has been rolling out for maybe 10+ years now in the form of TPM modules and such.

The future they’re aiming for is that unless you’re using an approved (unmodified) browser on an approved (unmodified) device, you get nothing. It would basically turn large swaths of the internet into a walled garden overnight.

Node.js – v21 Announcement
There is a very old joke which I will try to paraphrase. A scientist is having a debate with God and he says "I have discovered the recipe for how life is created, I no longer need you". God says "Oh, really, please explain it to me". The scientist says "Well, first you take hydrogen atoms ..." and God interrupts him asking "from where do you get those hydrogen atoms?"

That is, there is some property of the material of the universe that makes complex life possible. It's a bit like saying "I know how to build a computer" because you can buy parts online and put them together. There is a sense in which what you are saying is true - but without TSMC you are not going to be able to build a computer.
That's not true. At least not in the US. It gives legal over sight so that investigation can occur, and places legal responsibility on builders and buyers such that they'd be culpable if they are connected even accidentally to exporting restricted items.

Honestly I think efficient market hypothesis is overreaching here

Is this product extensible beyond SaaS style tiered subscription models?

I love the pricing space, but at first glance, the limitation in your company's scope seems depressingly limited and is essentially hard-coded into the name of your company (Tier).

I have grandiose ideas, hopes and dreams of what the pricing space will look like in the future, and it doesn't involve immutable JSON files.

But I can see why this would be really useful right now. Looks great.

A lot of people are under the impression that these stores can just eat the cost with insurance, which is, of course, an absurd notion because then the insurance company is losing too much money and will raise the premiums. Then Walmart, etc. can't afford the insurance unless they close their most problematic locations.

People engage in a lot of magical thinking to justify theft since it seems like a harmless act. Thieves are just trying to feed their families! Insurance will cover it! Etc.! It's really unfortunate, they're going to learn the hard way as not only Walmart but other retail stores in their areas flee.
It is probably dependent on what type of product you are asking about.

But you don't necessarily need to go to a store. Just call their customer service number and ask them. It has worked for me ;)

Long before Covid there was pushback against these projects, particularly near population centers. Boston University built its National Emerging Infectious Diseases center right in the middle of the city, which was approved by local regulators (https://www.bu.edu/articles/2017/neidl-bsl-4-lab-approved) but strongly criticized by neighbors when they learned that Ebola and Marburg were studied there. Covid research at the center has not followed bureaucratic protocols, either:

But it has become apparent that the research team did not clear the work with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which was one of the funders of the project. The agency indicated it is going to be looking for some answers as to why it first learned of the work through media reports.

Emily Erbelding, director of NIAID’s division of microbiology and infectious diseases, said the BU team’s original grant applications did not specify that the scientists wanted to do this precise work. Nor did the group make clear that it was doing experiments that might involve enhancing a pathogen of pandemic potential in the progress reports it provided to NIAID.

My company is building in the same space as Tier - in fact our offering looks close to identical.

The problem we've faced so far is catching buyers who want to solve this problem, the deeper, underlying issue, rather than the problem that's in front of their face.

For technical contributors, they're usually tasked to throw up a paywall, and you can do that quickly and easily using your billing engine and some lightweight hard-coded logic.

For the business stakeholders, they're usually paralyzed by an inability to decide what the pricing should be, and implementation is an engineering problem. I spoke to one buyer recently who was doing a re-pricing exercise (which Tier and Stage both promise to make easier going forward), but even he believed that this re-pricing would be the last, and that further adjustments would be minimal.

It's nice to see other, credible people enter the space - I think it actually is a problem worth solving, and it's neat to see how their approach rhymes with ours. Of course I don't wish them too much success, since I'd like to have some customers too.
I don't know what you mean by "body shop". If you're talking about a literal car body shop, your analogy is broken.

Again, it isn't "providing unpaid labor to AWS". It's "problem solving and exhibiting talents to others that are in your field". It's showing you have the skill to throw such a thing together quickly. It's a resume builder. And most importantly, what you seem to be missing, it's a fun challenge to some people.

If I stretched your analogy a bit, I would say it's like seeing a body shop do a shitty job on a car, and then buying $30 worth of tools and doing a better job in an hour than they did, then posting the video to Youtube to show all your fellow car enthusiasts.
- prioritize process over product

My most recent position descended into a farce. The company had been reborn from the ashes of the old company. The product was 15 years old and had accumulated a lot of tech debt during the crash-and-burn of the previous company. There was a huge list of things that must be done, or the company dies.

However the new company spent 6+ months designing a top-heavy set of processes. After that, critical tasks from the "must be done" list that should have taken hours turned into a 2-6 week ordeal of following the process, meetings and busy-work. Generally a two week sprint to research, then put it on hold for a planning session, then another 2 weeks sprint to do the task.

When it's something that must be done no matter what, and as quickly as possible, then this is sheer lunacy. I'm talking about existential risks to the company.

I found out how the other engineers are coping with this. Just about everyone is actively deceiving management in order to get things done. It goes something like this:
1) just do the work during the research/planning sprints.
2) when the work is complete, write up your proposal and estimate time retroactively.
3) the engineers rubber stamp each other's estimates
4) during the time assigned, work on the next task instead, and commit the code at the end, right on time, exactly as predicted.
repeat.

The company pivoted from producing a product to producing arbitrary process. People's performance was measured on the accuracy of their estimates, so the engineers designed their own process to hit the mark perfectly.

Unfortunately it's a good way to burn out.
Remote work is more productive. Office work is more valuable.

I’ll explain. Remote management is a lot more one-way and top-down tasking. It’s possible, but very hard to do it any other way. In-person teams do not require explicit tasking, and they will find consensus on good and bad directions much faster, but the actual work goes slowly.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

You can’t have both. Measuring productivity of individual in-person employees will fail, and measuring value output of remote teams will also fail.

What exactly do you think gain of function research is for? In order to determine how viruses behave in a safe and reasonable manner, gain of function is one of the ways we do so. For example, modifying a virus that normally only infects humans to infect an animal, so we can examine how it works in a lab and in turn design better vaccines or treatments.

Some of these fears and comments reminds me a lot of comments around the nuclear accident in Japan. The actual issues stemmed from poor safety measures and protocols, not nuclear itself. That's assuming that the lab leak theory is even true and not just a convenient tool for politicians to use as a wedge.
One could say he was giving the owners a chance at recovering some value rather than nothing. Also, it’s probably a more apt analogy for modern US hospitals: when you’re having say a heart attack you can’t exactly “price shop”.

I do not see Brazil under the Wikipedia section for implementations of land value tax. I tried to look myself, but did not see a definitive answer. It sounds like there is a property tax, but a property tax is different from a land value tax.

Also, 2% is in a similar range to many existing implementations, and has been shown to be too low to prevent speculation.

Your comment about "it's gone" shows that you do not understand the intent here. I would recommend you watch the following: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h59se33UCK4

In short, the land is not gone. The profits you made if you rented it out are not gone. However, any hope of increased value through speculation will be diminished based on how long you held the high value asset prior to sale... which is the exact intent of this policy change.

At this point I can't count the number of times I've heard someone say the equivalentof "VCs hyped toothpaste and orange flavored gravy. And now they're hyping sliced bread - they're the same thing!"

Stop deciding if something is good or not based on VC hype. Evaluate if the actual tech is good or not - if it does promise or not. Stop following VCs whims.
