But all in all a nice feature
One company I was with had a rule that former employees couldn't be re-hired for 18 months after they left. This was to stop employees getting pay rises by via the hiring process rather than the standard review process.

At another we had somebody from the helpdesk join our team, he rapidly skilled up but the company had a rule that max pay-rise was 20% annually and he was on half what everyone else was on. Problem was escalated until an exception was approved by senior manager and he got a big 1-off payrise.
No I don't believe so. Inequality is a metric that you can apply to any system. A communist system could have high inequality if it rewarded some skills with a big imbalance. Capitalism as an economic system doesn't really say much about the political system other than that you have the freedom to invest private capital. That could be under a democracy or a dictatorship of various kinds, it's just easier with additional freedoms. Further, capitalism is only saying that all or some of your economy is free from central planning, it doesn't say that your profits from capital are free from being taxed to distribute wealth, and it doesn't say that you are free from regulation that might do various things to improve equality, including wage laws.

Some of the things in our system are specifically unequal and anti capitalist. For example, classes of investor: you need a certain level of income to make some investments.

The time frame could probably be reduced if the demand was that high :)
> I wonder if we could even build a hub like that today, with property speculators and NIMBYism blocking anything short of grabbing a cornfield in Iowa and declaring it our new national manufacturing centrepiece.

Why is that a problem? Isn't that what "building" a hub means?

> If you are not happy with your 3% COLA, will 5% really mollify you?

Most of the jobs I had didn't even have a COLA. So yes 5% would be fine.

> New hires get paid more because they are worth more to the employer

Anyone who manages a company should put their money where their mouth is and fire their whole team, and hire a new one. Those new hires are worth far more than the existing team was. Except, we all know it's BS, and existing employees are what keep a company in existence.
Never underestimate the desire of existing systems of control or power to self-propagate.
This feels like something I could read on Wikipedia about Erlang, how does this add anything to the topic?

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

> Despite the 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza, the United Nations, international human rights organisations, and the majority of governments and legal commentators consider the territory to be still occupied by Israel, supported by additional restrictions placed on Gaza by Egypt. Israel maintains direct external control over Gaza and indirect control over life within Gaza: it controls Gaza's air and maritime space, as well as six of Gaza's seven land crossings. It reserves the right to enter Gaza at will with its military and maintains a no-go buffer zone within the Gaza territory. Gaza is dependent on Israel for water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities. The extensive Israeli buffer zone within the Strip renders much land off-limits to Gaza's inhabitants. The system of control imposed by Israel was described in the fall 2012 edition of International Security as an "indirect occupation". The European Union (EU) considers Gaza to be occupied.

This is how it was possible for Israel to cut off millions of people from the internet as it starves them to death.
What makes you think that having the focus on the search box vs the code area in VSC constitutes a different mode in the same way as vim normal vs insert modes? You haven’t explained what you consider a mode to be.

I think there is something very clearly different in vim, as first time users must have it explained to them that typing `j` when their cursor is at the start of the code area will do very different things depending on the mode they’re in. It’s a paradigm not present in editors like VSCode.
This difference is usefully characterized as “modal”.
I’m not saying AI won’t impact jobs. However, IMF is wrong more than it is right. Just look at the recipes they have for countries in financial trouble and they tend to make things worse almost every single time in long term.

Job market like lots of other things is complex and not linear, and has direct dependency on macro conditions. AI might reduce the need for lots of roles, but opens up a lot of new opportunities that are not conceivable by even almighty IMF researchers today.

It’s perhaps analogous to “cars will remove the need to lots of jobs” back in 1886.
i cook a decent amount, because it's easier to get bulk stuff that fits in my combo pannier-backpack from the grocers, than say frozen pizzas or boxes of cereal. even eggs seem to have less spoilage due to transport by bike than via car!

i live in Minneapolis, so when it's hot i just take it a little easier so as to not work up a sweat, and in the winter biking is shockingly warming (i am consistently surprised to be able to bike in subzero temps with my normal jacket, jeans and long underwear on)

as for automobile drivers, it's kinda a combo of defensive driving tactics, along with knowing bike lanes, bike boulevards, and parkways. (bryant ave and the midtown greenway are pretty nifty for all cardinal directions of travel)
that's brilliant! i'd assumed it was monoammonium phosphate. i'd much rather cover my electronics in sodium carbonate than in phosphoric acid
Imagine being able to make in app purchases for boosting your posts, or ad campaigns, facebook marketplace items (think meta brand items just like amazon brand items) or tiktok shop items.

Now imagine those companies paying a percentage off the top for app store in-app purchases when there is an alternative that doesn’t involve that percentage.

Facebook and Amazon have both tried (and failed) to make their own phones. That’s how much they want to control the entire UX. Of course they would funnel people to their own app stores.

Hell, app stores themselves are places to sell ads and other apps, Apple has proven that.

So why wouldn’t a company with the developer resources and monetization potential of Meta or Amazon create their own app store?

There are numerous points of failure in any grid. the big power generators and transformers are hard to hide targets.

A big surface area of solar panel is much less dense in terms of power generation per square feet. So you would need a lot of ordinance to meaningfully decrease its output (except at transformer points, but that’s like in any grid).
> it's difficult to change while keeping compatibility

Actually, it is trivial to change. Just embed a ReentrantLock into every object and rewrite all calls to "synchronized"/"Object.wait" to use that lock.

Unfortunately, this would result in a bit of performance regression (increasing per-object memory footprint). To solve that would require turning ReentrantLock into a magical intrinsic, fully integrated with lock bytes in the object header. Which is actually not that hard either — other runtimes like Golang or Android VM solve problems like this on daily basis. Oracle, however…
It means basically that Apple won't let these App store channels to work outside the EU.

Their strategy is to reduce the economies of scale that you can achieve, and thus make them less attractive since as a developer you could not sell as much on those app stores.

Very cool! Technically this is a reed organ (as noted in the original video), since the sound is produces by a vibrating tongue instead of air resonating along a pipe. The horns on top, which look a bit like pipes, are probably just there to improve the tone a bit.

This reed organ still sounds pretty buzzy, but a full-size one isn't so bad. Rodney Jantzi's website https://www.rodneyjantzi.com features some pretty great recordings, as well as pictures of reed organ restorations. Earlier this evening I finished re-covering the reservoir of a 120-140 year-old reed organ, so reed organs are pretty near to my heart right now.
On the scale of things you can wrap in rice, Onigiri is a 2/10 for me. I can understand it for kids, its cheap, easy to make and relatively healthy, but the filling could be so much more creative. IME the Chinese fan tuan (饭团) is so much better.

So, effectively, there was... no rule.
Some might, many I think you're dreaming: but that's a market to study.
End of the day, americans might want to use their money for more important things than origin of manufacture, and they'd be smart to throw the paper money the government prints at Chinese underpaid labour giving them actual toasters in exchange, rather than give it to each other.

Don't forget, when you buy a toaster from China, you're basically making them bleed and sweat on it for nothing more than your currency they can only use to buy back stuff from you, if you'll allow it. It's a very good deal, so good US consumers should increase their chinese imports rather than decrease it. Or next thing they know, they'll be the ones sweating in sweatshops soldering around toasters for capital-rich Shanghaiese.

Fair enough. Vivek put in a phenomenal effort but it wasn't in the cards for 2024. Now it's Trump vs Biden, unless the latter croaks or the former is assassinated.

In capitalism, resources are distributed based on the successful operations of organizations that can turn a profit. The value provided through demand for goods and services is itself the mechanism for distribution. Profit is the motivating factor to continue to provide these goods or services.

The fact that someone can screenshot something does not make deletion not real. Deletion is still valuable for many threat models and day-to-day situations humans run into.

As someone working on a p2p app that has done a lot of user research, I see it as a really good sign when a federated/p2p systems prioritize deletion, because I know based on my own research that it's something users care about and ask for.
American consumers think that “made in the USA” is a sign of quality. The regulations in the USA that weed out poor quality products are a big part of that. You buy such a product without being afraid that you’re going to injure yourself when you plug it in because the safety regulations are working.
Show HN: Hacky fix to add free custom domain to website published on framer.app
I have an awesome moonshot idea for my MVP, let me buy a domain.
Cool! I bought moonshot-idea.com.
Now, I will quickly build a website, let me use website builders like Framer, Wix.

You remember it's MVP, pace matters, bla bla bla.

Ok! I ended up with a website like moonshot.framer.app or moonshot.wixsite.com. How do I
replace that with my purchased domain. Wait what, I will have to pay for hosting for
custom domain or I'm stuck with the suffix. That sucks!

If you have damaged kidneys and you're a bodybuilder umm that's not a good combination as your kidneys can not break down creatinine like a normal kidney does. So protein shake sounds to me like a bodybuilder.

Curious what is your interest in this subject? Do you have CKD, a researcher, a doctor or ?
If you're saying that it should only be a consideration that doesn't impact the process as a codified step of the process, I don't see how that's any different from what's happening already. The people making the decisions will naturally already see what gets public attention and what doesn't when there's enough of a groundswell. If you're saying that means that stuff with lower public attention won't get the decision makers to see how much attention there is, you're saying that there needs to be an official step to make the decision makers see how much attention there is. That codification of the official step would then have influence and then strategies around developing and weaponizing that influence would be in play. Better to not have it in play so that it only remains as outside noise. Sometimes the noise will penetrate the process anyway, but there is no need to welcome it into the process officially.

GE isn’t up 1290% in 2-3 years; the split adjusted price was $70-90 during 2021.

GE’s all time high share price (split adjusted) is $377.68 on 8/28/2000. It has lost nearly two-thirds of its value in the past 23 years, and that doesn’t account for inflation.
because they're doing different things.

Web page: Wait for data from server, update page to match, this usually happens at most every few seconds. (or if it's server based) Fetch data, format into html, set to browser

Game: For 10s to 1000s of objects, run some code for each one at 60 frames a second. That code is usually one or more finite state machines and/or co-routines per object (or some hacked together code that effective does the same). This code updates a bunch of state for each object, and then other code displays the current state.

They're doing different things so they take different approaches.

PS: I get the above is over simplified.
I agree that we can greatly reduce our reliance on cars in the next thirty years, but I'm certain that cars will still be a significant fraction of our transportation by then. Not everyone lives in a city and many cities have too low density to be practical for public transport and small electric vehicles alone. Changing that takes a lot of time.
Saying that VSCode is a modal editor because of the search dialog is like listing cars among USB peripherals because they have a USB port.
Very true. Most of these things can be contracted for, there are people like me that do these things. But it's not cheap.

It's become somewhat of a litmus test for me. If potential clients are are surprised by the time, cost and effort if these things, it's usually a sign they're not a well thought out venture, and therefore not a great client.
Yeah, I think Vivek did it well. He can always come back next time. As long as he doesn't say crazy shit or get bitter from here, I think he looks strong, and he did a good job. I don't think Trump would pick him as VP because he sees how ambitious Vivek is, not to denigrate Trump it could just be an issue. But he could fade, or help in background both would be OK.

100% agree with you. You can allow the illusion of a delete, and also allow messages to be signed using a keypair. When you build the merkle tree you stop linking to the deleted post and link to the next best non-deleted post.

BUT, if the content is already out there in a distributed system then you have to expect all of the nodes to respect your delete and not optimize for it.

> If noise gets into the pre-amplified signal

Nah-- it's about high frequency noise getting in via the speaker lead, and coupling to the negative feedback of the amplifier stage, and getting rectified and amplified.

Yes, most interference is via line level inputs, but it can easily be via the "output" as well.
There is a bigger reason why the end of open source AI might be close: as soon as training data becomes licensed, that’s it for open source AI. Poof.

I wish I could be more eloquent on this point, but I’ve mostly just been depressed about this seeming inevitability.

Hopefully it won’t be the case. But how could it be otherwise? Hundreds of thousands of people are mad at openai and midjourney for doing exactly what open source AI needs to do in order to survive: fine tune or train from scratch.

As soon as some politician makes it a platform issue, it seems like the law will simply be rewritten to prevent companies from using training data at will. It’s such a compelling story: "big companies are stealing data owned by small businesses and individuals." So even if the court cases are decided in OpenAI’s favor, it’s not at all clear that the issue will be settled.
A lot of great comments already but I'll add my opinion on search volume for 'toasters made in usa'. My feel is that a bulk of it is people looking for old fashioned toasters like showcased in this link; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfxlSG6q5Y

There's also scikit-build (https://scikit-build.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), a wrapper around CMake, like how meson-python is a wrapper around meson, and enscons (https://github.com/dholth/enscons, which is by the original wheel creator), which is a wrapper around SCons (I'm not sure how much maintenance it gets though).

It's interesting that the original post (https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2023/01/15/how-to-improve-pyth...) complained about there being too many options (whilst missing the "scientific python" and rust backends, and including wheel (which is part of setuptools now) and venv (which is primarily a library)), when much of the original push to standardise packaging came from the scientific python community (see e.g. https://pypackaging-native.github.io/), and the need to get away from a distutils/setuptools monoculture (given previous attempts at improving the situation e.g. bento).
I applied for a company, nailed the interviews, received an offer Friday and they told me they wanted a decision by EOD Tuesday. I asked for a one day extension I could compare another offer I was receiving tomorrow, and the HR recruiter began trying to manipulate me with reasoning as to why he could not extend it. I ended up declining the offer because of how the interactions went.
Thermodynamics prevent you from turning low grade heat into electricity with anything resembling reasonable efficiency. Moving the heat around on the other hand it reasonably simple.
Making complicated things may only be cheaper initially.

I think the problem is that to learn to make simple things you first need to learn making complicated things. This is my story and pretty much the story of every person I ever talked to that learned to make simple things. Some people get it faster, some get slower and some never learn to appreciate simplicity, but everybody first had to learn to make before they learned to make simple.

So now realise we were through decades of exponential growth of the number of developers and at any point in time people with experience were greatly outnumbered by people with little experience and the answer becomes easier to formulate.

Simplicity isn't something that is easy to teach. The best ways to do it I found is by mentoring and working with people, but there are so many people you can meaningfully mentor on a daily basis. People with experience are so outnumbered (and also promoted up if they are any good) that it is very hard for an average apprentice programmer Joe to be able to find his master.

> Should why, though? You didn't explain why they should have this expectation, rather than any other.

Because if we agree that I pay you $X/yr, that's just a placeholder for a certain amount of value per year. As inflation rises, the nominal salary I pay has to increase to maintain that value. A CoL raise handles that.

This is all theoretically true, but just not how it works in practice. See: this post and all the comments lamenting it.

That isn't a comparison that makes sense. It's sort of like confusing stocks and flows, but market capitalization isn't even a stock.
