Saying that prices rise because of corporate greed is the same as saying that fires burn because of oxygen. Sure, it's true, but it's not helpful because you cannot stop people from being greedy. What is useful is to look at why corporations are able to greedily increase their prices unchecked. That's usually because of some imbalance in supply and demand: in this case, why does the demand outstrip the supply? There are multiple reasons, but one of them is that governments have outlawed the sale of new ICE vehicles for 2035, increasing demand on the small supply of electric vehicles available. This has also caused manufacturers to reduce their investment in ICE vehicles, thereby further reducing supply of these vehicles, thereby increasing prices. Furthermore, electric vehicles are (at least at this moment) more expensive to manufacture.

Fred Noonan was hired as the navigator specifically for this leg of the flight because of his navigation skills, which he proved by establishing Pan Am's transpacific routes, so it's not obvious to me why a navigational error would rest on Earhart's lack of skills in that area.
If your AQ is not good even with filters, you probably need higher performing ones. Check the CADR rating on them to see if they can handle the space you need filtered.
I'm not sure that's really a practical distinction between Typescript and Python. Most of the practical bundling setups I've seen use a tool like Babel or Esbuild, which doesn't do any type checking - instead the type checking is done as a linting/testing check beforehand, the same as with Python. And as you point out, even if you compile directly with Typescript, it will quite happily compile code that doesn't pass the type checks, as a configuration option.

And this isn't just a side effect of the build tools, but a genuinely useful feature. While I'm working on a change, I can run half-finished code and get some feedback before fixing the rest. This is particularly useful for tests - I can test a module, even if I've not yet updated all of that module's usages, to sanity check whether what I'm doing makes sense.

There can definitely be downsides to this separation of type system and runtime behaviour, but it's also very useful, and it works the same in Typescript and Python.

I think the biggest issue that Python's type checking has in comparison to Typescript is just sheer power: Typescript can very explicitly and correctly type real-world Javascript code, whereas typed Python, in my experience, ends up feeling a lot more like old-school Java than idiomatic Python. And it's difficult to sell old-school Java to Python developers.

Man, I spend the money on a carbon fibre bike with an aero wheel cutout because I like the aesthetics.

Sure, but targeting similarity with a previously-chosen hash is a scenario where the birthday paradox doesn't come in. The case where it does would be "can we produce two arbitrary new hashes that are similar in this way?", in which case the amount of work required might be about the square root of what our intuition might suggest.

(although I think there's an explosion in the required space in that case because you need to store information about all of the values that you've already been able to produce, in order to learn whether new values collide with them!)
> Large open pastures producing grass fed meats would be a far better choice.

The vast majority of cows are already pasture raised in the US. Those feedlots with packed pens serving tons of corn feed that most people think of when they think of factory farming is only the last step of the process called finishing that improves the fattiness and flavor of the meat for human consumption.

The corn that's used for bioethanol is actually later fed to cows at those feedlots as distillers grains [1]. It accounts for a significant fraction of animal feed so eliminating bioethanol would make beef more expensive, not cheaper.

Quoting from an RFD co-authored by bcantrill and myself describing Oxide's policies around open source:

> For any new Oxide-created software, the MPL 2.0 should generally be the license of choice. The exception to this should be any software that is a part of a larger ecosystem that has a prevailing license, in which case that prevailing license may be used.

EDIT: I also am confused about why you are downvoted. Are there any major operating systems distributions that are MPL licensed? I can't think of any off the top of my head. Beyond that it's a simple question.
FWIW, early designs for the PS3 also were missing the GPU in lieu of another Cell chip. The end of Dennard scaling meant that they didn't hit the clock speed they originally intended (close to 5Ghz). It was originally supposed to do rasterization in software on that second cell, but relatively in the last minute they needed to strap a dedicated GPU to it. That's why Cell reads out of VRAM are incredibly slow, around 16MB/s.
Indeed. For anyone unfamiliar with the nature of cryptographic hashes, each character increases the difficulty to get a collision exponentially.

~10 characters are easy enough to generate on a single machine so don't rely on a vanity-prefix and the trailing couple of characters only, but getting a new .onion address matching even half of an existing one within the lifetime of civilization is unrealistic even with state-actor resources.

Thanks, I get why you would think that. Apologies for being flippant and not stating things more explicitly.

I was trying to do the equivalent of pointing out that the comment was similar to something like ‘murder is terrible and wrong!’ (which implies it wouldn’t happen naturally), that that is all well and good - but it happens all the time, often even with a LOT of work being done to stop it. At least for any sufficiently large group of people. Murder happens naturally, just like people talking shit about folks they don’t like. One could argue one is just a more extreme version of the other.

So if someone has responsibility for the company (in this talking shit about people example) or city/county/state/country whatever (in the murder context), pretending it won’t happen and so not having mechanisms to discourage it and clean up the mess/minimize the damage will just result in an even bigger and more damaging mess.

Why have rules against something or people to enforce those rules for something that won’t happen, after all.

So having HR rules against these sorts of groups is a good idea. As is having a reasonably short retention rule to minimize damage when someone ends up doing it anyway. (since even firing someone doesn’t get rid of those emails) And paying attention to pending problems on this front to proactively reduce risk. Then it might only happen 1%, or .001% of the rate it otherwise would. Which is good.

But for any sufficiently large group, it’s never going to be 0% of the time. And for a very large group, that can end up costing them many many many billions of $.
>At what point should an acquisition be allowed on the sake of something being able to continue to exist and possibly save jobs? Sure there would have almost guaranteed be job cuts with the acquisition due to redundancy, but would it have been the same amount?

IMO, probably never. I think this would open too many shenanigans of running a possible acquisition into the ground or attempt to lobby whatever government agency would regulate this.

At some point, to make rules easy to enforce, you have to absorb some collateral damage.
Just a thought: If I am working as a project manager in a corporate environment and suggest to my company that they purchase this, I am basically outing myself to have ADHD?

I kinda like the term 'people first project management' used further down on the product page. Maybe have a dedicated page talking about why your software is inclusive with respect to neurodiversity, but it seems counter productive to call yourself 'projekt planner for ADHD people', at least if you want to market to enterprises. Just my 2ct.
Who is the royal "we" here? You don't have to buy this thing if you don't want to. Why are you judging others that might decide otherwise?

Interesting to note: they have higher debt levels than the US ( GDP wise). If GDP would go down, that would mean a vicious circle and they wouldn't be able to "fund" their way out with low risk.

The technology can be sold. As for the people, they entered in a contract with a business. If the business does not pan out, I don't see why they should be "saved". If the failure was due to bad leadership, there will be another company in the same sphere. And the value of these skills is rarely tied to the product itself.
Hard landing on Maui sends 6 to hospital (Airbus 320)
Ehm, why? What you are saying does not make sense at all. I do hourly incremental backups to fast blob storage. If my Mac breaks, I can pick up another one and be back up and running in no time. The other good thing is that it doesn't matter where I buy it or go for repairs, since Apple has great worldwide service.

Besides that I never had a Mac break down when I travel and I've owned MacBooks since 2007 and travelled a lot with them (including years of daily bike rides, including hilly terrain).

My MacBook is one of the products I literally never worry about.
It's arguable, but at this point I'm just going to state that you are going out of your way for a "gotcha" on a reduction to the absurd.

When you mentioned "ethics" as opposed to "morality" I naively assumed interhuman behaviors such as business ethics and the like.

So yes, I believe that anything that can harm a fellow human (and many things that can harm other life) should be civilly actionable. We can argue about some of the edge cases, but non-consensual deepfake porn is not one of those edge cases to me.

A study from 2020 found Edge to be the worst browser when it comes to privacy, in a separate category of privacy invasion shared only with Yandex the Russian browser.

> From a privacy perspective Microsoft Edge and Yandex are
qualitatively different from the other browsers studied. Both
send persistent identifiers than can be used to link requests
(and associated IP address/location) to back end servers. Edge
also sends the hardware UUID of the device to Microsoft
and Yandex similarly transmits a hashed hardware identifier to
back end servers. As far as we can tell this behaviour cannot
be disabled by users. In addition to the search autocomplete
functionality that shares details of web pages visited, both
transmit web page information to servers that appear unrelated

Commercial rated pilot here. It's definitely a bit of a learned skill, but it doesn't honestly take that long to learn, and it works better than any other alternative might. The most important thing is for everyone in the system to be willing to speak up if they don't clearly understand what's been said to them. "Say again slower" is a perfectly acceptable response, and is a required one of a pilot or controller who did not understand what was said.

Controller cadence is a bit geographical - the busier the airspace the faster the tempo, and the more important it is to speak up.

AM simplex radio works amazingly well overall for this purpose, and none of the potential technology that could replace it would be as safe or reliable..

I have countless thought-hours and emotional input in this space. I have an Akashic record in me about my inputs on why I, also, would like to solve this problem.

I looked at the SFDPH homeless stats, (I built services for these folks including being a primary tech designer for SFGH pre zuck)

I have worked with and for home manufacturers, such as Buffetts' Clayton Homes, Wind River Tiny Homes, City of Alameda...

AND - I have attempted to map out the Bicycle industry... I have a ton of input on a topic nobody wants to discuss..

-

I have looked at the behavior of homeless over the last decade as I experienced them, through observation, empathy, [all the emotions].

I built a joke thing back in the early days of the internet when internet advertising was obviously ridiculous which was "Hobo Housing" (cant find it today, but it was along the lines of Cards Against Humanity: Offering Free Hobos Housing in foldable cardboard sheds that advertised Realtor Businesses printed on them.

Or food stipends for Hobos pulling a cart with marketing for a particular brand, high end, like Perfume... (designed a backpak strap for one to pull a shopping cart, rather than push, off road carts, etc)

I did this as to highlight how fucked up our economy is.

I have worked (against) with with City of alameda on municipal Tiny home reformation, their adherence to Corp Media (common.net, comcast) "We sold our media rights to comcast, thus we will never allow municipal internet in Alaameda" <- alameda mayor stated to me.

Look, this Tan person seems unpleasant, but that doesn't mean it's on-topic here. Not everything related to YC is on-topic, and that there's a gap between HN and "YC-the-company" is exactly why I post here in the first place.

Dan unflagged it for the look of things, and I would have done the same, but I resent the accusation that I'm "censoring" things. I told you why I flagged it: it's just a silly off-topic "tit-for-tat of the day" type of thing that could quickly overrun the site if left unflagged because there's countless stories like that every day. Entire sites are dedicated almost exclusively to reporting this sort of thing, and if you're interested in that then follow sites that report on that type of thing.

HN is about "intellectual curiosity". It's not a "tech site" or "YC community forum" or "SF daily news site" or anything else.

It's a common argument but I wonder how much more comfortable a carbon bike can be (I never had a carbon bike). Would bigger tires compensate for a more rigid frame?
Prepare for downvotes and rebuttals if you say anything that even remotely disparages Harvard University on HN.

Personally, I think it's quite scandalous that Harvard gave the world's most famous sex-trafficker his own office. I mean, that's the last person on Earth you'd want to give access to a steady supply of young girls and boys, but that's exactly what Harvard did.

And I've been told that we're not supposed to hold Harvard accountable because nobody knew what Epstein was doing... The heads of one of the world's most prestigious universities were all too naive to realize what was going on. Perhaps they thought the girls at his parties were just really friendly? Or perhaps they don't want to admit to anything they'd be legally liable for?

> employers need to be forced by law to maintain safe working conditions for their employees.

Probably less true in trucking, where the leading cause of worker injury is road accidents. If, say, a roofer falls off a roof, the only damage is to the worker, but if a trucker crashes badly enough to get injured, the truck and cargo are likely damaged as well. Truckers and their employees should be more naturally aligned on safety issues.
So not only did you pull the original comment's assertions out of your _bag of holding_ but rather than citing sources when asked, you doubled down on "well if you know you know" and claim that the (often relatively small) increases to line lengths of type-annotated programs somehow magically increases the number of bugs, again with no evidence.

If you're not going to bring bold numbers to support bold claims, why should any of us bother listening?
That's not how the system works, though. Digital ads in foreign markets are foreign income, which means that there are not domestic benefits. When Google sells an ad in Saudi Arabia, that ad revenue goes to Google's local company and only benefits Google. Even though they're an American company, that revenue is not taxed or repatriated in any way.

There's a current SCOTUS case about this exact question and it looks likely that it will be decided in favor of these companies to repatriate their revenue without paying a single penny in taxes. In other words: they racked up hundreds of billions in revenue and just held it overseas until they can claw it back without paying their fair share.
For the employees at Figma, their shot at cashing out evaporated when the Adobe deal was called off. I know people who were ready to leave Github in the past, but their manager told them to wait a bit, there’s a big acquisition coming and their equity would be worth sizeably more.

So here’s one of those scenarios: you’re working at Figma. Perhaps you’re burned out or just want to try out something different. This acquisition deal with Adobe has been signed and you’re grinding through the days waiting for your chance to cash in on the years of work with Figma that have nearly paid off. Then this happens.

This affects startups similarly. The non IPO exit path got that much less attractive.
