Try any economics textbook, and common sense. I couldn't care less what you believe. This stuff has been written about for 100 years, currency is susceptible to the laws of supply and demand like any other commodity; over supply affects prices.

Oh, really? What's the right amount we should give to people then? Please bring data.

You sound like the MMT folks, who endlessly told us printing money didn't matter. Until it did. Then "real MMT has never been tried!"
Very few wealthy people keep their wealth in savings. Maybe now with interest rates up it is higher, but any prudent wealth advisor will steer most of that money pile back into the economy.
As a general rule, "if you don't like this rule we're adding, don't take advantage of it" is a pretty terrible argument. It's absolutely fair to say that a rule shouldn't be implemented while also acknowledging that if it is, it is the best strategy to take advantage of it if it is.

For instance, imagine if the NFL decided to give up to two extra points after a touchdown for how stylishly the players celebrated, as voted by a panel of judges in the end zone. This would be a terrible addition in most people's eyes. If it went through anyway, though, you can bet that every team would start dancing their hearts out after each touchdown.

Unfortunately

- It's almost impossible to actually hold anyone with significant money accountable for anything

- It's almost impossible to hold any company accountable for anything

- It's almost impossible to get good laws passed, because the companies pay to get the lawmakers elected
Not the PP, however it seems Foundation is one of those series both the audience and the actors themselves must sort of adapt to. I didn't read the Asimov original books (well I started like 40 years ago but gave up after finding them boring in contrast to short and non SF stories by him) so I didn't have any expectations, and was mostly satisfied with the series that appears getting better and better with time. Definitely not a masterpiece, but quite good.

> But if you’re going to build an app for professional content creators, it definitely helps to be using the framework that powers Autodesk Maya and many other tools that they’re already familiar with.

Qt isn't that sort of framework though, it is just a GUI toolkit[0] and there is nothing special about it that makes it better than Gtk for an application like Krita.

The reason Krita is so successful is because of what orbital-decay wrote, they connect and listen to the users, not because of Qt. Obviously Krita is built on the KDE frameworks and the KDE frameworks are built on Qt, so Krita relies a ton on Qt to the point where if you consider on replacing it you might as well just rewrite the program from scratch. But Krita could have been written on, say, Java Swing, wxWidgets, Gtk or whatever other mature GUI framework and it'd still be as successful.

After all keep in mind that many other popular digital content creation tools use custom toolkits instead of Qt (e.g. Blender which is way more popular than Krita).

[0] ok, it has more functionality than GUI, but that's the main functionality and everything else can be found in many other libraries
In what sense is it "free as in speech"? I don't understand this analogy.

Freedom of speech refers to not having to fear retaliation for speaking. By that definition, Autodesk Maya is free as in speech, as in Autodesk doesn't get prosecuted for selling it (under all-rights-reserved license, EULA, and yearly subscription).
Or lobby/advocate for establishment of new laws that might be needed now, which may not have been needed in the past.

Humans are inventive and creative (and often greedy). Once we find a loophole or a point of advantage, we tend to exploit it.

For better or worse, the US legal system is slow to change so it takes a long time of people exploiting the system before the legal framework catches up.

This morning I was reading some outrage post in a local facebook group for my small town. Everyone is up in arms about a new apartment complex being built. Then someone chimes in on the thread asking where everyone was when the permits were approved (hint: no one complaining attended the meetings to voice their concerns). TLDR: get involved in local politics. Too many people assume someone else will do it (or other people will vote so I don't have to), and rarely is that the case.

Having rented a single family home from a "small" landlord, and rented an apartment in a large building owned by a corporate landlord, and having had far worse experiences with law-breaking and exploitation from the "small" landlords, I really have no idea at all what motivates this thinking.

At least the corporate landlord isn't going to control the local planning process to block housing, like small landlords and homeowners residents do.

But to me, a corporation owning a home and renting it out is no worse than anybody else renting it out, and given that they likely are more rule-abiding and knowledgeable about the rules, it's often a big win.

Yeah, just adding, in Rust, there's three main levels:

1. no_std (like no libc + no malloc in C)

2. no_std + alloc (like no libc + malloc in C)

3. std (like a full libc + malloc in C)

The difference between 1 + 2 is like three lines. The difference between 2 + 3 is a change to the entire standard library. ATM only ESP32 devices support option 3 (they build a standard library implementation on top of FreeRTOS/ESP-IDF).
Very interesting! Cool project

Oh jeez that does sound brutal. I do not experience those issues on my Deb 12 desktop. The lockscreen/dimming/etc stuff specifically works well for me. It’s very responsive to return from lock, if I catch it in the transition I can abort. Wondering if it’s the underlying platform you are on, or a third party plugin or module that could be doing this.
I don't think that engineers must design product only because of "why not doing it if we can do it". There is a ethical value to what we design and produce. Some technologies are better than others.
That is so disappointing lol, all this time I thought it was running on the actual pregnancy test hardware.
I think CD quality is a good analogy to 4k, 1080p is mp3 128 and 1440p is mp3 320. 1080p isn't quite human level perception, but no one will notice if they aren't trying. 1440p is essentially exactly human perception, and 4k is slightly better.

Personally, since you can't really buy 1440p TVs, makes sense to me to keep 1080p TV if you have one, but buy a 4k if you're getting a new TV.
It remains to be seen what even the US can do in the Red Sea.

Will playing whack-a-mole with Houthis help, as long as their backer Iran is left alone? (Not saying attacking Iran is a good idea, mind you! These things are complicated.)

The Red Sea will have to be pretty calm for a long time before shipments are routed there again. The Houthis need to strike only very occasionally to deny shipping.
Disagree - I think computer tech is notable for its absence if you read the book carefully. From memory there's the "megabytes of RAM" throwaway, a paragraph-long description of the Ono-Sendai deck, and not much else. I think it's because Gibson's focus wasn't the technology, it was the medium that the technology created. He was writing at one level of abstraction, and us geeks were reading at another, much lower level of abstraction.
thanks for the explanation! I'm thinking of creating this just as a project and for me

We wouldn’t let a private company buy all the drinking water or food so they can profit from it, and we shouldn’t let them do it with housing.

Only humans should be allowed to own residential property and we should limit how many so there enough to go around, and so they are affordable.

Housing can not be simultaneously affordable and a good investment.

Clearly, they are doing this because it’s a good investment, which means houses are unaffordable for people who need a place to live.

Are we all not bias in some way. Anymore, just an opinion counts for that.

In a conversation with a father that allowed his daughter to choose her pronoun I mentioned that is as dangerous as a parent that allows their child to eat only cake for dinner - he instantly labeled me as a conservative.

In a conversation with a stranger about a friend that cannot hold a job I mentioned how I wish there was some sort of UBI program that would allow him to at least live a basic life - he instantly labeled me as a liberal.

Are not our opinions now considered biased just based on our opinion... so we just should not have an opinion.
As noted in the article, one of the three is publicly traded (Invitation Homes, NYSE: INVH), so you can invest easily if you think they're raking it in. (Annualized return over past 5 years was around 8.3% capital gains plus about 1.5%-3% dividend yield.)
What are peoples concerns here?

3 companies owning 11% of the single family homes available for rent in a metro area doesn't seem like a massive concentration of ownership. Some people prefer to rent rather than buy. Some people don't have savings for a down payment. Someone needs to own the houses that these people rent.

There are probably economies of scale to managing rental properties (e.g. larger companies can hire full time maintenance staff). Some people prefer to rent from small-time landlords, but those can have there problems too.

Is it the maze of LLCs? That does seem problematic.

I agree that Apple is surprisingly good at sci-fi, but I'd disagree about the genre being shunned for years. It seems you can't throw a rock these days without hitting some lame, sci-fi-flavored TV show that has no internal consistency. I think Apple's doing well because they're doing the work (and paying the cost) of getting well-done sci-fi shows made.
I hope it is less expensive.

Cost savings often benefit sustainability. You probably heard the "reduce, reuse, recycle, in that order" thing. The "reduce" part also reduces costs.

Here it looks like there is one less part (the silicone ring), which I believe makes it cheaper to build, cuts on supplies (no more need for silicone), and improves recyclability, which is good for the image and maybe some regulations. I don't know how good it is at delivering ketchup, but if it is as good or better, then we all win. Granted, it is still disposable plastic, but I don't see why that design would be unsuitable for a reusable bottle.

Exactly the kind of R&D I like.
Of course not. I identify cronyism as an inherent characteristic of representative democracies but I don't advocate for it. I follow the non-aggression principle so no matter how rich or how poor nobody should have rights over others or their property. I'm in favor of going towards anarcho-capitalism and stateless societies.

I'm sure I would be slightly happier with a modern 4K TV (as long as I could avoid getting a "smart" one), but I'm still perfectly content with my 720p TV from 2007. My main gripe with it is that it doesn't play nice with some kinds of HDMI input (it doesn't have good support for adjusting overscan), but even that is no more than a minor nuisance.

It's definitely not worth even the ~$500 we paid for this TV to get a new one just at the moment.
How does UBI avoid encouraging excessive inflation on basic goods? If there are more people to afford them, then surely demand will rise and supply will decrease, driving prices up until UBI must rise to compensate.
does that mean that the only viable wearable is smart glasses? you can say the same thing about necklaces for example (they'll be covered).
I use a more compact theme (QtCurve, at least with Plasma 5.27, I'm not sure if it's going to work with Plasma 6). IMHO if I have to disable UI elements to make an application usable, that just means they're too big. That's not a good design.

It was completely rebuilt from a coal to wood burner at the same site because the site has good transport links and is at a powerline nexus. ( The picture in the article is way out of date - the cooling towers were demolished years ago ).

In theory burning wood is sustainable, if the forests are replaced at the same rate as burning. Whether that's actually practical/economic I guess is another matter.

> In the pull-based system, more work in the end is required (when should Alice query Bob? Also Bob needs to respond to the query, though thats super easy as it is static responses), but the work is better distributed, lowering the maximum amount of work someone has to do (in this case, Bob).

I don't see how that follows. Yes, work is better distributed temporally (since consumers hopefully poll the feed in a randomized way independent of new posts appearing), but the baseline load of these polls will in the end be larger than that of having to do the push fanout per post – at least for people posting less frequently than the average poll rate.

Generally, the push-vs-pull discussion seems like a red herring: For every pull system, we'll want some push mechanism for efficiency reasons in the end anyway; for every push system, we'll need a pull way to catch up with posts potentially missed initially.

To me, the practically relevant differences between Mastodon (push) and e.g. Bluesky (pull-ish, with aggregators) seem to revolve around the actual ease of self-hosting: As the author notes, setting up a Mastodon server seems roughly as complicated as self-hosting email (i.e. possible but practically almost nobody will do it), but I don't see this as a limitation of the protocol (Activitypub), but rather its implementation.

Decoupling identity resolution from hosting an entire server would also be a smart move: Webfinger is way too complicated for this; DNS TXT records would be ideal.

In a just society, why would anyone own a house? Wouldn't we all be renters, and the rent would be reasonable, and we wouldn't be saddled with worrying about major home repairs, and we should have strong protections from being evicted, and we would be able to move to some other house without going through a huge real estate deal?

depends who you ask and I know here in HN, people mostly care about their privacy.

however, I personally don't care as long as I'm getting value out of it, and I'm sure this goes for others as well.
The discussion pertains to a political position, and all political questions are fundamentally normative ones, on the "ought" side of the gap. Both intended aims and ethical limits are defined by what you're calling "ideology".

The "is" side of the question defines the empirical constraints within which those aims are pursued, but that's an instrumental question: it bears out the means, but has little to say about the value of the ends.

In other words, "is this course of action likely to produce the outcomes we intend?" is a question to be substantiated by evidence, but "are these the ends we wish to pursue?" and "are these ends worth the cost and/or risk to other things we care about?" are normative questions for which subjective values ("ideology") determine the decision criteria for all parties in the debate.
"We don't have a solution to fix it so let's try the solution that makes it worse" is not a very compelling argument.
Do you know where I can rent a good pitchfork?
I’m on Bluesky and tried to get my friends on there too, but without much luck. I don’t find myself using it often.

In my opinion, the problem with Bluesky is that it assumes people want old Twitter/social media back. Beyond their protocols (which the vast majority of social media users do not care about), there is little innovation in the UX or platform. Old Twitter had its moment, and was relevant for a time. But the ship of the last 20ish years of social media has sailed, and people either want something new and different, or they’re ready for it to go away entirely.

> Many apps offer push-alert functionality because it gives users a fast, battery-saving way to stay updated, and few users think twice before turning them on.

I don't remember ever having to turn on one of those things. I have to do the exact opposite and go into the settings of almost all apps and disable notifications. This is not even related to privacy, as much as annoyance as all the apps want you to be "engaged", from chat pings (which are sometimes essential), to pushing ads through.
it was quite easy for a small team to crawl and index a good portion of the internet, enough to become the de facto gateway (talking about Google).

it was similarly possible for a relatively small team to crawl a good chunk of the available internet and train some of the most sophisticated "algorithms" we've seen on them (talking about Open AI).

if there is an incentive, this problem can be solved. if this was actually a hard problem, most current social media companies wouldn't put so much effort in restricting crawling to force everyone through restricted API access (look at Twitter, Reddit, Instagram or Facebook, as examples).

Yes. More generally, this will enable implementation via crazy-cheap bit-wise ops in binary hardware, and possibly, maybe, via crazy-cheap trit-wise ops in ternary hardware that manipulates ternary digits, or trits. Note that any binary op over trits has only nine possible (trit, trit) input pairs and only three possible trit outputs. Maybe ternary hardware for AI will become a thing?
The core of CSS absolutely has changed. Unless you're building a mobile-only site, you're likely using media queries today to target multiple viewport sizes, which wasn't on anybody's radar in 2006.

Much of these changes in CSS have simply beeen obscured by improvements in cross-browser compatibility and use of layout frameworks that hide all the complexity behind simple class names.

In the 2000s, sites were built with the <table> element to simulate a grid.

In the 2010s, it changed twice, first by using floats and CSS reset methods to create responsive columns. Then that went away in favour of Flexbox and Grid, which now have wide browser support.

If you're building sites for IE6 compatibility, then things probably haven't changed much.
