Although Wikipedia admins are generally pretty diligent about vanity articles about firms or individuals, anecdotally, I think people have a lot more luck astroturfing within legitimate articles. There are so many niche articles about some general concept with a weird section plugging an obscure product toward the end.

This hypothesis presupposes the "manna from heaven" concept of wealth, which isn't how it works. Wealth is what people want[0]. There isn't a real limit to what people want, so there's no real limit to what wealth can be created, either.

Even on a deserted with five people, there isn't a fixed amount of wealth that can be divided over those five people. A fixed amount of land? Sure. Maybe a fixed amount of rocks and trees? Okay. But there's no fixed amount of the ingenuity and labor that is required to convert those natural resources into things actually desired by people, like a roof over one's head or warmth during a cold night.

And some people are more industrious and clever than others and therefore are better at meeting people's needs and being compensated for it.

This shouldn't be dismissed out of hand, and I say that as a queer person myself. It obviously shouldn't be presumed true until disproven either, but if/when it gets dismissed it should be for conclusive scientific reasons rather that fear of offending.
The economy is "booming" while the average American's quality of life is in decline and they're struggling to afford basic things like food, rent, and utilities. I'm super happy for all the extremely wealthy people who are doing so well in the stock market, and for all the corporations who have been pulling in record profits, but for the average person the only thing "booming" is their household debit which is at record highs.

While it's a good thing that people aren't having too much trouble finding work, the jobs they have clearly aren't paying them enough. Eviction rates across the US are rising and people are being forced to pull money out of their 401(k)s in record numbers now too. None of that is a great sign for the economy. If amassing record amounts of debt and taking money from pension accounts are the only things propping up the "booming" economy, it's bound to crash hard eventually.

You forgot a big asset on this hypothetical balance sheet: the individual's (your) productive output over their lifetime. Until we get to a point where all existing, and all possible, human output can be done by machines at no cost to anyone, the 'indenture' is more of a reciprocal arrangement where you trade your output for others'.

The scenario you outlined is one of unimaginable privilege for most humans living today, and arguably most humans and non-human animals through history. A climate controlled, personal living space in a safe society, varied and effectively limitless food/clean water, modern conveniences like a car/internet/telephone, access to healthcare by highly-trained doctors -- completely free of drudgery and effort (i.e. work).

You can always rename to something that makes sense later.
According to this source[0], the bottom 50% of income earners who paid 2.32% of all federal personal income taxes collected in 2020 comprised 10.18% of the share of income. So yes, it is more.

Are there HN metrics available that include voting behavior and viewing behavior?

For example, is it more commonplace lately to comment without upvoting, than it used to be? (Upvoting the post and/or the parent comment.)

And how has the comments-to-pageviews ratio changed over time?
This will continue until the population becomes comfortable with extra-judicial violence against those in power.

(Also, look at how old my account is and consider whether or not I care about your downvote. Reply with something that directly refutes the point I'm making so we can have the vibrant discussion this website used to be known for. Downvotes are simply pathetic attempts to silence correct views. Intellectuals have discussions, not censor their opponents. Only the most indefensible and mediocre positions depend on censorship. It also explains why the most unimpressive people depend on it.)

You're equating giving money to the government with contributing to society, which is not the same thing. Politicians will give your money to any cause that will get them reelected, be that vanity projects or cronies that contribute to their campaigns. That's not even the worst case, they can spend it on the military killing people, spying on the populace including you, or distributing it in some other unjust way.

If you want to actually contribute to society you are better off investing it in some productive way or giving away to people in need as directly as possible. Government is a necessary evil, don't give it a dime more than what's absolutely needed as it can get out of control with little room to escape.
Odd not to note that it was clearly created as the design equivalent of the engineering- centric HN.

In general I found the discussions pretty shallow and anemic compared to HN, even during the supposed golden age.

Both can be right. Depends on the organization culture.
If your ISO/RTO isn't coordinating activities to add power generation, you owe it to yourself to move -- and pronto.

Every competent ISO/RTO in the US has already factored additional electricity growth required by EVs and other needs in their mid/long-term plans.
A public beta does not and should not allow major breaking changes like this. Would you be satisfied as a manager or PM if this was released to the public under your watch? You’d be fired if this wasn’t an intentional change. If it’s not patched immediately then it’s a good assumption that this is an intentional change.

This is a fair use case for LLMs. "Read this article and decide if it meets this criteria". There will be some false positives and some false negatives but it will probably have a 95%+ success rate out of the box, which is more than good enough for a project like this.
We don't freeze vote counts. What made you think that we did?
My old boss was looking to hire some more people for entry level positions. He had me review his write up before he posted it. For some background, at this time I had been at the job for over 10 years. I started at the bottom and worked my way up to the top and then out of that team. I did nearly every job at some point and worked all the shifts to know the different jobs on those different shifts. I wrote 90% of the docs, I defined a significant number of the processes, I wrote all the tools, wrote all the training, interviewed countless people for jobs on the team at all levels, and personally trained dozens of them (across the country and globe). I was also told I had carte blanche to speak for the VP and the team, and could basically do whatever I wanted. I was very qualified to be on the team by pretty much any measure. In many ways I defined what the team was and how it worked at that point in time.

Reading the job description, I had no idea what it was asking for or talking about, felt under qualified for the job, and wouldn’t have applied. I didn’t think I knew anything it was asking for. I told my boss this and he ran with it anyway. I’d encourage anyone to read the job posting for any open positions on your team to see how disconnected from reality they are.

You’d think that experience would make me take other postings less seriously, as the level of BS was off the charts, but I still have trouble applying for anything where I can’t check off almost every box.
Maybe all of these victims can get their wish of Wikipedia notoriety on a page called “List of victims of Wikipedia article scams”
> Words have different meanings in different contexts

Well define it then.

Nobody is complaing that there might be an alternative definition of chemical.

The complaint is that you're not using any widely known definition of "chemical" and not providing your own definition.

You can shut everyone up by just defining how you are using the word. I doubt you will since i think you are lying about there existing some other definition that makes sense in the context you are arguing, and you lack the knowledge/ability to make up your own definition that would fit your argument.
Yes, HN is a moderated/curated site and always has been. Here's 10 years' worth of me explaining that: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

What people maybe don't realize is how many constraints there are on HN's system. There aren't many degrees of freedom for us to change things that wouldn't lead to a massively different site, and most of those outcomes would be worse, because most of them would be closer to internet default.

It's easy imagine "HN, but without the things that I personally find annoying". But try to generalize that for a moment and the problem quickly becomes intractable.
I went to grad school with that guy. He’s a riot.
There's no reason to think there will ever be a sustained demand for VR entertainment. The experience is novel (for a time), but it's not qualitatively better than other delivery systems. And then, of course, the transient novelty never quite justifies the expense. VR's perception simulation has an uncanny valley-like effect. It's a bit too close visually (with the inevitable nausea), but it also calls attention to the absence of other forms of sensation.
Your comment isn't dismissive, but I do think users have a right to know where they've been moderated.

I’ve had such fun making interactive educational visualisations like this. My life’s work is going into an interactive simulation of the USB protocol. Unfortunately I’m yet to bang it out over a weekend.
Not really. I think of it as git’s undo button. I don’t criticize my word processor for being so complex that it needs an undo button.
Its simply if you think about it, because a country can just decide not to pay back the debt. Just as they can just print money. So a country like the US can simply build up a huge amount of debt, that it could pay back in theory, and then simply decide not to do it because its easier.

Both are a way to fuck over the people you owe money to.
ggplot2 is not the best visualization solution. It is simple, easy to learn and provides majority of plots you will need. But it cannot do everything and is not best in everything.
Yeah, you're just wrong. I have several people in the Philippines and South America who help me out with misc things (VA-type tasks).

All of them have asked me if I could pay them in crypto (USDC on AVAX Chain).

There's tons of people who use it for day to day. You're just in a bubble.
I'm not saying using git blame is hellish, I'm saying always needing to do it because of all of the things you described sounds hellish.

The original comment was that you should always do it, for every line of code.

> The vendor specific ad hoc mechanisms for extending DNS in a site local context are not well supported

DNS is one of those things that OS vendors think should be extendable and configurable. It allows VPN apps to redirect DNS only for certain subdomains, for example, which enables proper split-horizon DNS. I think this is totally reasonable behavior, and it’s undeniably useful. If a particular programming language reimplements DNS on its own, you lose guarantees that the OS is striving to provide to the user.

You can make the case that OS’s shouldn’t make these guarantees, and we’re free to disagree on that, but from a practical standpoint it is a very useful feature and it sucks that pure Go apps don’t work with it.

Does that mean this doesn't work in a freestanding environment? Yet another reason to assiduously avoid global variables. I suppose that's why I never ran into this issue.

Show HN: Oh My ZSH Aliases
Yeah, not really looking for an answer. I have a decent idea, and I could guess. It's one of those things where when I find myself in that state, it means I messed something up. I google, read a few sentences, remember what it means and how to get to the state I want to be, and then move on with my life without committing the details to memory. It's one example of the confusing scenarios I find myself in with Git with more frequency than seems necessary. I'd rather debug a Kubernetes cluster.

About:

I'm Janki Gajera, a user-driven Senior Front-End Engineer with an M.S. in Computer Science, specializing in Interactive AI. As a UX engineer, I love to focus on improving user experience through thoughtful designs, interactive data visualizations, and intuitive user flows. I value user feedback, and take pride in the iterative, continuous improvement of my work.

Recent favorite projects include prototyping and implementing the UI of an AI document chatbot (React, Figma), data visualization for private equity and public portfolio liquidity modeling (React, Highcharts), and the implementation of a user bug report and feature request workflow (React, Microsoft APIs) to organize user requests from any given internal application into a centralized location.

Although I am really interested in finance and the investment/asset management space, I am open to any industry where I can make a difference, help people, and learn something new every day.

If you think we're a fit, please reach out!
Actually all the mainstream news outlets including the biased Ars Technica adamantly REFUSED to mention software update in the headline and in the first paragraph. What could possibly the reason? Not enough space for headline?

Instead we get headlines like "Tesla recalls all 2.2 million vehicles in the US amid probe of Autopilot crashes - WSJ"
You are confusing related to correlated or complementary facts. Meta and Apple shares are independent of each other and both are practically independent of Reality labs and Vision Pro.

The news headline is comparing two complementary business and so is valid.

> "Meta shares surge despite major losses ahead of Apple's Vision Pro launch"

This would have been a click bait as it is trying to relate independent events.
And watch out for weird pseudo-USB-C chargers. I’ve read about some cheap power tools being sold with “USB-C charging”. But they merely used the plug as a selling point. The AC adapter was a bog standard one and always sent 12V to the USB-C plug. So you’d fry any normal USB-C device you plug this into.
Perhaps I’m just getting old and weary and the scales are falling from my eyes, but the number of assholes in the world who are willing to destroy some valuable resource or community for a small benefit to themselves seems to be increasing, and also increasing their efforts and their effectiveness.

We do redirect to earlier posts that had the exact same URL. But most dupes, in the sense of repeated posts about the same story, don't have the exact same URL. What do you do then? That's a hard problem. It would be great to have an automated solution to that but I don't know of one.

> Whether it's fair or not, I believe that people of a certain age that are still "generalists" in their own estimations give off vibes to management or senior engineers that they aren't disciplined enough to "specialize".

Fun fact, the original meaning of "jack of all trades", even before "is a master of none" was tacked on, meant someone who couldn't master a trade so they tried everything (and given the context of referring to criminals, "and kept failing, so turned to crime"): https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/jack-of-all-trades.html
Wait are you defining all open calls for genocide in Gaza to be the strictly verbatim phrase "I am openly calling for genocide in Gaza"? You are out of your depth here.
Or they’re looking for someone with a few of the listed skills.

I’d be totally on board with job ads saying “the team’s tech stack includes A-Z. No one is expected to be an expert in all of these but if you have experience with some of them or equivalent tech, we could be a good fit for each other.

Depending on circumstances, the ad could go on to say stuff like “we’d love to boost our capabilities in these particular skills” to call out anything that’s an area they want to focus on improving with the new hire, if there is one.
This turns into "BFFE" (backend for frontend) in my experience, and that's not even the dumbest possible decision.

This is the kind of explanation that makes sense when the association happens to come to mind—in this case, something like: HN -> YC -> Sam -> Helios -> nuclear -> obvious conflict of interest -> QED. But such chains of associations rarely have anything to do with what happened to a story on HN. The explanation is almost certainly much simpler.

In the case of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39095738, it just set off the flamewar detector, a,k.a. the overheated discussion detector. We sometimes turn that penalty off, but in a case like this we wouldn't do that because "$Celebrity says $thing about $common-subject" is almost never a substantial story. It's essential to HN to clear such stories off the front page in order to make room for more interesting, less sensational things. If we didn't, the front page would consist of little else.
