"Mainstream economics is in "disarray."

It ignores the reality of power, it neglects questions of equity, and its policy recommendations can be "little more than a license for plunder."

In other words, economics is not about social justice, it's about optimal allocation of resources, how markets set prices, and what makes economies grow or not, productivity and efficiency.

So economics haven't placed marxist clads struggles at it's center, therefore it is in "disarray"
Declines in global fertility to transform global population patterns by 2100
Almost three years ago, but the last time we used database as engine for Laravel’s queue subsystem it exploded due to some database table locks under high load. We switched to redis and things just worked well.
Ahh - side deal licensing.

“Redis will continue to support its vast partner ecosystem – including managed service providers and system integrators – with exclusive access to all future releases, updates, and features developed and delivered by Redis through its Partner Program. There is no change for existing Redis Enterprise customers.”

I wonder how exclusive this actually is. Did Microsoft pay a boat load of money to freeze out Amazon?
Redis is still 'free as in beer',
unless you are operating a bar and want to profit off of the free beer someone else produced,
then it's not 'open source',
but somehow you can still get the source as it remains 'source available'.

Did I get it right?

Well... It's clear that the modern city, the modern Fordlandia, today named Telosa, Prospera, Arkadag, Innopolis, ... is just a farm of humans that works just to pay services they can't live without, ending up in owning nothing and NOT being happy except happy in the Canon idea of happiness: https://petapixel.com/2021/06/17/canon-uses-ai-cameras-that-... RTO policies are because of that.

If we start en masse to realize that we can live in homes, spread enough to have the ideal density for today sane economy of scale, modern surveillance capitalism, modern "sharing economy" fails. The biggest that have craft them and profit on them will fail. A new economy will emerge and they can't switch quick enough.

Money in the modern world are extractors of value from the 99%, given it to a small cleptocracy, this cleptocracy need humans like Ford model workers in Fordlandia. People who live to work in a factory they do not own, in a hierarchy not a democracy, trapped by economic genital lace, conformism, habits.

That's why most try to push RTO and SOME "slaves" help them fearing the change, unable to realize that changes happen anyway and try avoiding them means suffer them letting others decide and direct the change.
Fun fact, Hackernews itself was "hacked" by a user doing exactly this. A user realised they could successfully guess the key-space the server used to encrypt it's user cookies. Had it had a greater source of random it wouldn't have been possible.

I hoped something like this existed, but are there any competitors or open source/self hosted solutions? I feel like requiring upstream support for smaller clouds could make this hard to use, vs something where companies could contribute new providers themselves.
Every pre-modern wagon had a big old bucket of grease hung at the side of it. It was needed to keep the axle continuously lubricated. (Sayings about wheels and grease are preserved to this day.)

Theoretically, a two-wheeled transportation contraption could have been made, but having to carry the grease with you would make it pointless.
as it stands - not as it should be or as i'd like things to be - i think that suicide is becoming a valid and reasonable life choice. suicide is unnecessarily emotionalized and moralized in my opinion. it is okay to decide that the party is over and take the consequential steps. but i think it should be a personal decision. i find it despicable when the government starts to incentivize or encourage it as it seems to be the case in canada. but i also think it's just as despicable to criminalize it like in germany.
> It is hard to set up.

Really?

> You have to configure every server to use the certificate

A couple of lines in apache/nginx/other config? The same lines each time. You probably don't want your dev box to be doing things required for LE renewal (allowing external in for HTTP(S) validation, making public DNS changes for DNS01, …) but I have a small container doing that and other boxes pull the resulting cert from there (a small cron task, again the same in each instance).

> and every client to accept the certificate

> external devices, such as iPads. How do you [get] your certificate onto them?

I suggested using a public name and an LE cert or similar. Clients will trust without extra effort.

> We also use IPs instead of domains

I did say “more devs don't” not “all devs don't”, there will of course be special cases. Though using addresses rather than names just feels broken.

> And then your IP changes and all is lost again

That is an argument against using address based config rather than name based config, not an argument against using HTTPS!
You don't necessarily need to move anything other than eyes. It's the default input method, but it doesn't require it. It's a computer, it can connect to other devices or use APIs.
Ok, but when you look at the forecast, and see an expected loss of 90 million, maybe the CEO should say, perhaps if I was paid 90 million less then we will be in profit, and I would still have enough money to retire in excessive luxury.
I think the richest criminals are an order or two magnitude larger than that. Wachovia and Nauru banks fined for laundering tens of billions, recently 2B of laundered assets seized in Singapore but belonged to a gang of people.

Still 2B on a single person is pretty crazy, she claimed they money was from bitcoin mining, seems pretty unsophisticated
I have a Mormon neighbor who did his missionary work in Thailand. My wife is Thai, so he came by to chat with us once with some missionaries who had visited us. I spoke to him for a while about his experience in trying to evangelize to a country that is 90+% Buddhist, and in which Buddhism plays a huge role in Thai culture. What I found fascinating is that in Thailand, a Mormon missionary was pretty much on a level playing field with any other Christian missionary. If a Thai person was considering a flavor of Christianity, the Mormon church isn't particularly "fringe" in the way it might be perceived by a Christian who is listening to a Mormon missionary in the US.
> They don't want to pay US rates if they can avoid it, and it's possible that their company would be unprofitable if they had to.

Ha, ha, ha. No.

Let's see, from Wikipedia. 2022 data:

- Number of employees: 73,090

- Net income: US$27.67 billion

Which gives us: 27.67e9/73090 = 369,407.57

So, just looking at their net income (which already takes into account the salary costs of said employees), they could afford to pay every employee US $370,000 a year before being unprofitable.

Between US $50,000 and US $370,000 there is quite some margin for improvement. And clearly, the low wages they pay have nothing to do with the risk of being unprofitable.
Reddit mods are quite far down the list of "people I have sympathy for". Arguably (?) they play a role in keeping out spam/off-topic posts, but there's a reason reddit is often referred to as a hivemind. Mods play a big part in that.
Amusingly, I had pointed out that HN was vulnerable to such an attack about a month before that user did it. And I was also involved into setting up Cloudflare's Lava Lamps.

Synology uses btrfs on top of classic mdadm RAID; AFAIK they don't use btrfs's built-in RAID, or even any of btrfs's more advanced features.
CSPRNGs still need to be seeded with random numbers.
Then you remember they called Ukraine in NATO an existential threat, and wiped their butts with international treaties that were supposed to be much more set in stone than some half-official nuclear doctrine.

However, this is all playing chicken. Whenever they were facing actual opposition, they backed down.
For all the people saying this is security theatre, no, it's one layer of an immense level of paranoia that makes CloudFlare great at what they do.

Fun fact, HN itself was "hacked" due to bad random once (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=639976).

> What? Like wind hitting the extremely aerodynamic surface of the car designed specifically not to catch the wind?

Like the sound of a hundred cubic feet of metal displacing the air at 40 MPH and leaving vacuum in its wake, yeah. That they're designed to be aerodynamic is the reason they're not that loud.

> That roar you hear standing a quarter mile from a busy highway is not wind, it's the tires.

Now you're talking about highways. People don't typically drive at highway speeds on city streets.

> Again, this contradicts everything I've read and/or is just willfully ignorant.

People have agendas. They need some reason for electric cars to be bad.

The Model 3 weighs around 4000 pounds, as do the Ford Taurus, Chevy Camaro and BMW 3 series, all vehicles of approximately the same size.

Some cars are lighter than this. Some are heavier. In general the existing production electric cars tend to be on the heavier side because premium car buyers prefer longer range to less weight, and that's the trade off. But there is nothing inherently requiring that, and in fact electric cars with smaller/lighter batteries would be cheaper, so that's likely to be what happens as more affordable electric cars become available.

> You can't make EVs superlight by stripping down the body, for example.

If you have an electric car with a 1500 pound battery and a 300 mile range, there is a fairly obvious way to make one that has a 100 mile range and weighs 1000 pounds less, and it doesn't require changing the size of the cabin. You might even get more than 100 miles of range by doing this, because now the car weighs 1000 pounds less and requires less energy to accelerate.

> EVs aren't the savior of the environment, public transit is.

Public transit is inapplicable to any place without enough density to support it. More than two thirds of Americans live in suburban or rural areas. We could build millions of new high density housing units and the majority would still live in suburban and rural areas -- and that's unlikely to change, because housing is scarce and only a fraction of those units would be converted specifically because of how many more units you can put on a lot for high density housing. If you build 20 units to a lot you could double the number of urban housing units while only reducing the number of suburban/rural units by 2.5%.

All of the people who live there will continue to need cars.
Since they mix it with other entropy sources, it really doesn't matter. At best, you have a cool marketing gimmick. At worst, the extra complexity from this art installation introduces some vulnerability in the future.

Yeah; they're probably thinking of New York City. If taken on its own, Manhattan is one of the densest cities in the world; the rest of NYC brings it down a lot.
> also the shadows behind them. The alcove is lit by daylight, so the shadows cast by the swinging double-pendulums will change depending on how sunny it is or, more usually in London, how gloomy it is.

Wouldn't that result in time based patterns matching the daytime/nighttime cycle? Then again, I guess this would only happen during continuous use over a number of days and perhaps that's not the use case.
Every article I read about this topic, whether advocating for RTO or against it, is black and white. The policy, whichever way the article prefers, is good or bad. No in between.

If your job is highly collaborative, being in one place is so much better. Videoconferencing sucks, if your work requires collaborating with teams that do not share the same context as yours.

If your job requires long periods of sustained focus, working from home is better.

What I do agree with is that most companies and their leaders have no f*cking idea about how to think about remote or in-office work properly. They got with their own personal preferences, anecdotal evidence and authorative bullshit (if I don't see you working, I don't think you're working).
That’s very funny satire!

A lot of love here for A Fire Upon the Deep (predicted fake news via "the net of a thousand lies") and A Deepness in the Sky (great depiction of cognitive enhancement, slower-than-light interstellar trade), but less so for Rainbows End, which is perhaps a less successful story but remains, after almost two decades, the best description of what augmented reality games and ARGs might do to the world.
I've noticed a trend of pay-walled articles lately on HN. Nothing wrong with journalists being paid, but I'm beginning to think that they are self-promoting rather than bubbling up organically.
No. The problem is that we live in a society where everything anybody does needs to have a financial motive, otherwise you get fucked. And you drank the big corp kool-aid in gallons if you truly think defending a dude that just earned $193M on a public forum is something sensible to do.

I found a text/plain copy of A Fire Upon The Deep, and read it in a single sitting. I later found a paperback edition in a second-hand bookshop, and bought it. I've since re-read it at least twice.

I usually do:

1. Start a "song/artist radio" from one I like, listen to the artists I don't recognise.

2. When I find something interesting I add it to a playlist (my playlists are a bit thematic with genre/feeling, if it doesn't fit with any playlist I have an "inbox" one to sort later)

3. When I have collected a few songs (5-15) in a playlist, enable "enhance" and listen to the recommendations from artists I do not recognise (used to do it with "playlist radio" but it's been removed in favour of enhance/smart shuffle).

4. Rinse and repeat with other radios (artist radios for the new artists I found, song radio for some songs/tracks I gelled with).

Been doing that for many years, discovered a lot of music this way.
What a great mind - the concept of computer archeology from "A Deepness in the Sky" is something I often think about looking at legacy code and maybe something our children will think about even more often.
This does not give me faith in YC's selection criteria...
I think you have it right. Unfortunately much of the "OSI is OS" commentariat misunderstands the SSPL which aims to confer freedoms to use with no obligation from there (and even deliver as a public service where the machinery that does so is also made open source and hence free for others to use).

If the OSI calls the AGPL open source, surely the SSPL is as well. A lot of people seem to lose the forest through the trees on "free as in freedom" vs "free as in beer" to the extent that copyleft offers a sustainable road to free as in freedom for the community... Unfortunately zealots have shot themselves in the foot without realizing they're doing the strip mining hyperscalers' bidding.
Science Fiction - the literature - is so different from all other media forms of SciFi there needs to be a formal separate of Science Fiction Literature from SciFi films, live action and animated series, games, and comic books. These other forms, SciFi, are the cartoon abbreviated to something else that is fun, adventure but is not Science Fiction (Literature) and the existential examination of how Science Changes Reality.

Yeah, too deep to keep watch over I think, unless they went for air in shifts. There's also the issue that if you're on land, gravity means you don't need an airtight container to cook/smelt/etc. But underwater it would be hard to prevent things from leaking to the sea.

I think mermaids could do fish kebabs over a gas vent (though they'd lose a lot of food), but they couldn't use it as a kiln.

It's all about financial performance now more than ever. Crappy electron and whatnot apps that takes GBs of your disk and RAM, firing good people, implementing AI for every shit, just for a manager to have a better quarter and get his bonus, you’re the last of their priorities as long as you’re hooked and pay. Personally, I’m using what gets me a free month or so when possible, and from time to time I pay for Apple Music because of their Lossless and Classical on iOS. For home I’ve built an audio station with a Raspberry Pi 4 and Moode Audio and listen to Radios mostly.
> Gotta cash in on the AI hype while you can

Reddit is among the most-trafficked websites on the planet. Its value has little to do with AI and everything with attention.
Not being paid plays a role in that. A person willing to spend countless hours on unpaid volunteer work is likely to have some other motivation. The common ones are flexing their ego or being ideologically driven.

Some genuinely like the topic they're moderating, but they often get burnt out by how shitty the job is.
I'm curious about something: I suppose Salvatore still owns the copyright for most of the code? The old license does include his copyright, up to 2020: https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/7.2/COPYING So I think this change couldn't have been done without his explicit consent? Or did he transferred his rights to RedisLabs or a foundation?
Random numbers have always worried me. Hence the Lava Lamps etc. at Cloudflare and the fact that I predicted that attack on HN about a month before it happened: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=640213
I'm not on a team. I have never been to Honduras and have no strong feelings about either side. The whole article is just a journalist describing a conflict between two groups of humans, while constantly using morally and emotionally negative language against one group and never sharing their perspective, while doing the opposite for the other group. This journalist doesn't even accurately describe the origin of the conflict, which the top comment here does. It's a fun mental exercise to read the article and count sheer number of Russell conjugations.

This is not the kind of document you write to inform your reader about the state of the world.
> problem is that we live in a society where everything anybody does needs to have a financial motive

But it doesn’t. Exhibit A: Reddit moderators. (Exhibit B: this thread, and this comment.)

If you find value in moderating, moderate. This is purely a problem of sour grapes—Reddit never pretended to be an Altman-esque non-profit.
If the SSPL is more aggressive than the AGPL why don't companies just adopt the AGPL. This is an honest question. I'm familiar with the AGPL but not with the SSPL and wondered before, why the AGPL is used so rarely.
Funny story I've told on hn before. Post office bond draws were using "ernie" which did randomness from thermionic valves. My dad helped build "icce" at imperial college in the 50s (something like the 5th public computer in the UK, noting many fine secret ones) and wanted to test their RNG. The post office refused to cooperate with a feed from Ernie, concerned imperial would detect non-randomness and undermine the integrity (or PR) of the premium bond draw.
The argument stands.

Forget O&G.

Nobody wants to pay for full electrification, despite having readily available tech. You can't argue the opposite with a straight face.

FWIW, the author conflates CO2 storage as enhanced oil recovery applications only.
IMO we need new terms for that kind of stuff. New licenses such as SSPL, BSL FSL are becoming more and more popular, and for very good reason (the conditions today are vastly different than they were 20 years ago when there was no AWS to resell your FOSS to the whole world). They are not "open source" because of the restrictions, but the next closest term that can be applied to them is "source available" which means something different - source code is technically there, eventually, and is not reflective of the reality of those relicensed projects. ElasticSearch, Sentry, etc. are still developed in the open, random people not affiliated with the project can still submit PRs, and anyone not trying to compete publicly with the company behind the project can still do whatever they want.
Probably on the same percentile as the number of people that understand how the Otto cycle works to power their car, or how differentials in the axles function to apply said power to the wheels through turns, etc.

Understanding the physics is not a requirement to operate the vehicle.
