It's a great question. Unfortunately I think this is a factor of the free-market economy. Products are getting shittier because ultimately consumers accept them. And when better (and more expensive products) are produced, not enough people are actually willing to pay for higher quality even though we all complain about enshittification.

Airfares are a perfect example. Airlines started offering garbage "Basic Economy" and still offered regular economy for a slightly higher price. What happened? Everyone still chose the cheapest no matter what, so Basic Economy rules the day.

We've been pretty satisfied with Room and Board furniture, which is typically made in the US. While a bit more expensive it's not really that different from the $3K garbage price point and seems to last (so far).

I'm mildly curious what qualifies as a high status job, here on HN.
The point is that Johnny Appleseed actively spread apple cultivars over a very wide geographic area (Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and parts of West Virgina and Ontario).

Since these cultivars were no longer connected by breeding, they changed characteristics over several centuries giving rise to an absolutely enormous diversity of local apple types in the US--especially since apple trees from seed are kinda unstable genetically.
My reading is that OVH would handle it.
It's complicated if you have personal but identified channels and are also a somewhat public figure in the context of various communities, including companies and tech projects.

I guess my take is that if you want to have a truly personal blog or social media channels, it should be as anonymized as possible. (Which has pros and cons.) Certainly, there are a ton of things I wouldn't write on a public channel even if I weren't technically violating any company policy because they would bite me.

When I was an analyst, I would absolutely not write anything about a CxO that differed from what I would put in a research report.
Thanks for the heads up. I will never try them (buying a new car soon).
Legally enforced minimum warranties.Prevent mergers and acquisitions. Break up big companies. Make purchase of cloud connected goods and services legally required to have an option to run independent should the vendor discontinue the cloud service, and that they have to refund or replace should an OTA update break a device despite warranty.
H2 storage can also be done by liquefaction, which is a lot more practical than compressed when we are talking longish-term storage. Yes, you will use energy to cool and liquefy H2, but a lot of this can be recovered when you go back again.
So? If you don’t want people using your APIs there are ways to block them. If it’s public, don’t complain.
I don't see how 40 min could be enough. I find with the wrong mattress my back starts to get sore after days or weeks, and I've bought "100 night guarantee" mattresses that started to sag at about the 101st night. It's very hard, at least for me, to make any kind of quick assessment. I'd happily pay a lot but I have no idea what to buy and no confidence that what I do buy will actually last.
The shocking thing is that every contemporary PC and handheld device would place on the TOP500 list in the 90's yet they're still burdened with slow software when doing basic operations.
I am not neither a hindu or jew. Christianism in Europe is larguely cultural, our values shifted a lot
since the Enlightenment times. The US, not much, they have a large sense of prudeness which affected even policitically left leaned people.

I mean, here people it's Christian by name only. Technically, even the Southern Spain with infamous street parades with large walks carrying a big structure with a Virgin, most of that it's just a showoff and a way to say "look how loaded we are, so much that we can build great golden clothes for our Virgin".

If any, lots of lore in Europe it's just paganism with a Christian disguise.

Even Christianism itself it's so-so Christian-wannabe unlike the original one which came from the Middle East; it was largely repurposed with Greek values so people here could assimilate better these alien customs such as not being able to eat pork or nonsense about alcohol when the risk of dehidrating in Europe was near nil.

There are several ways to approach the Tao Te Ching, including the mystical, but I think that there's a great book that explains the underlying approach the Chinese have, called, Treatise on Efficacy.

Essentially, in Chinese philosophy, any given situation has a propensity (water tends to run downhill). It is therefore more effective to work with that propensity, than it is to work heroically against that propensity. This is very much a layer in what the Tao Te Ching talks about.

I swear I'm not being snarky here, but: isn't this supposed to be something the market can solve? Is there no eg furniture manufacturer looking at the state of things and resolving to make relatively affordable and durable furniture? I want durable shit. I want to buy stuff that's going to last. I know I'm not the only one. Is the only option for this to buy top dollar stuff? If you're buying crap every 2-10 years you may as well be renting, but with extra trash going into the landfill/on a boat to be burned and inhaled by children in a 3rd world dump.

I would also like to know what policy knobs to fiddle with that could change this situation, but I think the answer is probably something like "mumble mumble global finance capital".

Northern central U.S. experiences yearly temps down to -20f (-28c). Some years this nightly temp lasts for weeks. It's common to see dozens of cars at an auto store replacing batteries in gas cars. The solution is simple - keep it plugged in. But that's only useful advice if you own a home. Apartments largely refuse to have outlets available. Even ones that physically have them have disabled them to prevent "electricity theft". This is a fancy term to describe apartment complexs owned remotely. Property managers "don't want to deal with it", even if the cases are insignificant it's an easy excuse to eliminate costs.

It is another example of how rent is destroying the Midwest. A democratic society would have regulated that all rentals provide such services.
25 years ago, hypercars were over 4 seconds and that required quite a bit of talent/practice and risking destroying the clutch.

A few years later there were three cars that could do under 3 seconds, one of which was little more than a tubular chassis and drivetrain. Another was a kit car and the third was the most expensive production vehicle in the world (Veyron.) The current Veyron, incidentally, loses to both a Lucid Air and Model S Plaid.

These days a lot of production sports cars are in the 3-4 second territory. The amount of power and acceleration available is insane and completely unnecessary / inappropriate for the street.

Ask HN: How to take side jobs without getting in trouble with my employer?
I'm starting to branch out and take side jobs. I set up an LLC for the purpose, and I'm afraid of my employer finding out and getting mad (I work remotely but do I intend to continue working full-time hours for my employer. I just don't know how they would take it). I have a few ideas of how to go about this:

1. Continue working for my employer and just don't tell them I'm doing work on the side.

2. Same as 1, but tell my employer that I'm doing this.

3. Ask my employer if I can become an hourly contractor instead of a full-time employee, freeing me up from being on their schedule all day and enabling me to take more clients.

What do you think is the best move? I should add that my employer is okay if we have flexible schedules. I just don't know if they're okay with second jobs being the reason for it.
I never said that. I was only arguing against the idea that that was an equal (or more suitable) comparison.
Microsoft can afford to make a less profitable product for search than Google because if Google competes it’s a net win for Microsoft.

I recently had my credit card stolen which is a great forcing function to audit subscriptions because you have to dig them all up to update the associated payment methods.

After combing through my credit card bills to identify all the recurring charges my conclusion was less that I have too many subscriptions but that cost creep is out of control on them.

Ex: I stopped paying attention to my storage unit monthly bill because it was on autopay. Turns out now after 4 years I'm paying more than double the published rate. Called the storage facility and they said the only way around it is to rent a new unit at the new rate and move my things there to start the process all over again.
Oh yeah. Marketing drives a lot of shit. Also I think the trend towards “marketplaces” makes things worse. Used to be if it was in a store, it meant there was a buyer whose job was to vet products the store sells. Cheap products would get returned, then pulled from shelves. Now if you buy online? store tanks. new store with same product with new random 6-8 character name. It’s one if the reasons I still like buying at costco, you can be pretty sure the product will be good for its price point.
I find I am more likely to crash in a Tesla than in other cars because it's much harder to keep a constant speed, so I have to focus on the speedometer a lot more. There are 2 reasons for this. The regenerative braking is hard to get used to, but the bigger problem is the lack of a speed limiter function.

I can engage the cruise control & even autopilot on highways, but on local roads I get loads of random phantom breaking events. The lane markings are not great and often there are cycle lanes, bus stops etc. The car will see a pedestrian walking along the side of the road and slam on the brakes. Or a cyclist. Sometimes it just suddenly slows for no apparent reason. I end up looking down at the screen to see what it thinks it's seeing, and slamming on the accelerator to make sure I get back up to speed.

In my ICE car or the Nissan Leaf I sometimes use, I can set the speed limit to 30 or 20 as appropriate and then just drive foot to the floor and know I'll just drive at that speed. When I have to slow down for a cyclist or whatever I just release the pedal, maybe use the brake, then accelerate again and I am still fine.

I do wish the cars would be able to set the speed limiter based on the current speed limit from the maps in the SatNav. The Tesla can use this for the cruise control, meaning you are unexpectedly accelerated when you reach a faster section of road, and you have to tap the brakes to regain control, cancelling the whole mode you were driving in, and putting you immediately into regenerative braking, even if you just want to keep the same speed.
3 years? My kids will wreck it in a year. EZ.

While there's lot of valid complains about longevity of certain modern products, people often forget the other - more valid and rational - side of a story.

Modern life is different. Things are more dynamic, people have less time to take care of things, move more often. I specifically buy IKEA furnitures because I don't care about then and don't want to worry about them. When kids get older, or new one shows up and we need to re-arrange how we live to accommodate, I want to be able to throw away what no longer fits without worrying about how expensive it is. And when the kids wreck something, I just shrug and can afford a replacement. Passing some heirloom over generations is not on my mind.

Would you mind backing these claims up with the raw data?

Your first claim is DA policies haven't changed, and down-thread you claim "The prosecution rate in SF has been about the same since records began", where are you getting the data to run these reports that support this claim?

Your second claim is: "The SFPD on the other hand has reached all-time-low productivity."

Do you have data to back this claim up as well? if so please share.

Okay, but $3,000 for a couch sounds like a damn-reasonable budget, and apparently isn't? So can you tell me what my couch budget should be for a good couch that won't, in fact, break in three years?

$3000 in 1995 dollars is approximately $6,000 today, so should I start looking at $6,000 couches? Except the problem here is when my parents bought a nice couch in 1995, it certainly wasn't $3,000 (closer to $1,200), and it lasted 10 years.

"Status limbo" is an imaginary affliction affecting those who derive their self-worth primarily from external validation. This is a precarious disposition in general, since their self-worth is determined by the whims of external factors like employment, social media, and other information bubbles. Often it's not even external factors so much as the afflicted's perception of those external factors, which is even more precarious.

Notably, the author of this article never reflects on their definition of "status," and instead simply assumes that it's a self-evident marker that's categorizable as in "limbo" or (apparently) some stable equilibrium. If the author were to reorient their definition of "status" to a more inwardly determined metric, perhaps they would realize it could rarely ever be in "limbo" in the first place.

That's a question for Amazon, which makes the whole thing possible by:

1. Lulling naive or hurried customers who like to think they're buying "from Amazon" into buying from fraudsters, and

2. Paying the fraudsters so quickly that the seller's account is closed before action is taken the fraud, and

3. Vetting sellers so promiscuously that the individual fraudster's cycle can continue.

In this light, Krebs diagram is deficient, because it omits Amazon from the loop. It's not "triangulation", the more accurate word would be quadrilateralization -- but spell-check says that's not a word.
I see the post got flagged, sad to see but if that's the verdict this'll be the last comment on this post.

The title is not "I caught a Russian developer doing bad things during war!!", the title mentions "a cautionary tale", which from my point of view is a PSA through the means of sharing observations and my interpretation, with some speculation to inform the reader of possible avenues which may affect them, if not through this repository, through another.

To close my writing I'll include the content of a comment in response to a different user, which should define my intent:

"My point would mainly be to spread awareness and share an experience and my interpretation of it, not "slander" and paint a target on my back by namecalling and divulging more information which doesn't serve a purpose beyond wanting clout under the assumption that the war does not affect myself and others around me."

Thanks. Have a good weekend.

It's not easy, if even possible.

Mature markets that reach enormous scale transform into a barbell shape, typically, with all the revenue being at the very top end, and the very bottom end.

Take furniture. In a new market you build a nice couch with decent materials that will last, and you charge a price that a middle-class income could afford. It will last, say, 15-20 years. You sell it, make money. Great.

Now a competitor comes along and makes a couch that will last 12-15 years. It's 20% cheaper, and your sales drop off a cliff. Your option is to lower your quality so you can lower your prices and compete, or go up market and _raise_ your prices, so you can stay in business.

Repeat this cycle many times, and you end up with nothing in the middle, because consumers will not buy (enough) things in the middle.

You can try to address this through quality regulation (ban certain materials, or require others, for example), which will raise the floor of the quality (in theory) while raising the floor price along with it. That will price people out of the market entirely, though.

You can place heavy import tariffs on products that are of lower quality coming from elsewhere in an attempt to create space for more locally produced mid-quality goods, but doing that prices out your poorer citizens from access to those goods entirely (and they won't like that, and will probably stop voting for you, eventually).

The problem is that human beings, on average, do _not_ value quality enough to keep a middle market alive.

3. Do not let it affect your performance as much as possible.
Most of my furniture (everything not upholstered, dining table, dressers, cabinets, coffee table, etc) is all from a second hand store that buys estate furniture and refurbishes it. It's all solid wood, mostly from the '40s or earlier, and was way cheaper than even crappy IKEA stuff.
