> Just think the minimum wage with current day inflation for 1968 is just less than $15 an hour.

Less than 2% of people make minimum wage and the few who do wouldn't be making significantly less if it didn't exist. The primary effect of minimum wage laws is to eliminate internship opportunities. The primary effect of raising them to the point that they applied to a non-trivial percentage of workers would be to accelerate automation and offshoring.

This is why workers keep getting screwed. People ask for the wrong things.

> Reading most of your comments. You support treating works terribly by rejecting work life balance.

These are individual choices, and this is the problem with most feel good regulations. If someone is working 12 hours, maybe it's because they can't otherwise afford rent -- but then instead of doing something about high rents, you want to prohibit them from working enough hours to pay their bills.

> Deregulation and push for top 1% profits and shareholders has pushed wages down over 50%.

Younger generations are struggling because things cost more, specifically housing, medicine and education. These all have regulatory causes.

Zoning rules, licensing rules and building codes inhibit housing construction, keeping supply low and prices high.

The law promotes employer-provided health insurance, preventing employees from choosing not only where to get healthcare but even where to get insurance, since that's chosen by their employer. Then we pretend this is a market-based system even though we've disconnected choices from costs through the law, and wonder why Americans pay more for healthcare than anyone else.

The government promotes student loans. It doesn't pay for tuition, it subsidizes loan interest and prohibits the loans from being discharged in bankruptcy, allowing colleges to raise tuition into the sky without losing students. Then people have to repay that debt for decades, instead of using the money to buy a house.

"Deregulation" is a nonsense word with no specific meaning. If the state government passed a law removing local zoning restrictions, is that regulation or deregulation? It doesn't matter. What matters is that they haven't done it and now housing is unaffordable.
When do you do this? After an hour? A day? A week? There's been cases it's taken me a few days to write a comment or PR message because I was still working on things.

If you set it to short (hours) it'll be pretty annoying and confusing for people. If you set it too long (more than a day), scammers will just keep generating new links.

It's not that simple to fix, certainly not with these kind of timeouts. The only solution is to not have a "trusted" URL like that.
There are a lot of ideas (virtually all of them) for which I’d give up 2-3% for $0 to go through the YC process and network even if I intended to bootstrap or think of the $500K as getting them the “other” 5% (or an ~$10M valuation).
I actually full source bootstrapped a Linux distribution from zero recently. Most distros have a lot of dependencies you do not need.

In this case you only actually need curl, openssl, and busybox. Those depend on at least a small libc implementation and a kernel but those are certainly already present.

Coreutils or busybox is probably already installed too. Still, I will grant the requirement of musl and a linux kernel since we are being pedantic or maybe talking about an embedded linux use case, so 5 deps total to boot from metal and get a cert.

To be fair I would never actually ship openssl or busybox in a real embedded project. Would probably write a simple standalone binary using the standard library of Go or something.

I think the idea is that a foreign-owned major media company might be directed by that foreign government to work against national interests. Which idea is not so far-fetched.
Author here. I have no idea what you could possibly mean with this comment. The coroutineBinding implementation correctly uses the coroutines API for parallel decomposition of Result bindings, exactly how the Kotlin Coroutines guide tells you to, backed by a Mutex[1]. The coroutineBinding isn't even the main selling point of the library, you can use it without using this feature entirely.

Please could you elaborate on what "looking thread safe" means to you? The only portion of the library that supports concurrency *is* thread safe - the unit tests[2] prove it and the use of concurrency primitives such as Kotlin's Mutex[3] are indicative of this.

I truly have no idea how you've judged the entirely of the library on whether it's "thread safe" when there is a single function (in an extension library, not the core one) that's related to concurrency and it is very clearly using concurrency primitives as intended.

With regards to "being cautious using it", you don't need to be. The maven central statistics suggest its being downloaded 300,000 times per month. If there was something wrong with it, it's likely somebody would have raised this already given how frequently the project has been adopted over the last seven years.

I was thinking exactly same.
JSON is literally key=value, just nested. Which you can do with shell variables.

The question was "What's not to like [about JSON output from cmdline tools]?" and the answer is that it's cumbersome to read in a shell and all but requires another pipeline stage.

I didn't even recommend shell variable output and made it clear this isn't today a reasonable solution so I'm not sure where this hostility in the replies comes from, but I assume from recognition that it's a more practical solution to reading data within a shell but not wanting that to be so.
Censorship meaning entire narratives in the news like hiding involvement of state or corporate actors in illegal activities, not a moderator/GM abusing power in a chat.

Moderator abuse is a problem too, but tiny in comparison and not actually illegal if you agree to their terms.

Been a lot of high minded "strategy" like that. Hasn't really been working out. I don't think China's influence was growing, ours is just shrinking, you can only lose so many wars to farmers before people stop taking you seriously.

I've read (and engaged with) everything in that issue, but I still don't understand the vague 'well the tag is just too loosely defined' argument.

I mean, sure, there is some ambiguity around the exact limit of this tag, i.e., is it only meant for ways dedicated to rapid transit bus routes, or is it for ways dedicated to any bus performing a public transport role? That is a valid question (of the kind which tends to get answered in the OSM project with the passage of time and observing the actual usage of the tag), but, and at the end of the day, ways tagged with highway=busway are undeniably:

a) roads;

b) used by buses;

c) unless otherwise indicated, not accessible to general traffic.

Absolutely refusing to render even a simple line after three and a half years (despite two PRs provided) is hard to explain as anything but antagonistic gatekeeping behaviour.
This is exactly what I have been doing since the pandemic. I have two issues that cause me to do this. First there is Netflix with no way to evaluate all their content inside their user interface. You need to browse on another device at NYT, Tomatoes, and other reviews before deciding what to watch. Netflix of the past had APIs that let 3rd parties access the titles which gave Fanatics the opportunity to comment, review, blog, etc… Netflix killed that, and they have failed to create an internal community area where fans can discuss content. So the best is to only watch the 10% of content which they promote, cancel the service, and then come back in 3-6 months.

Second reason I do this is streaming services like Apple, simply do not have enough content to continue paying every month.
Not sure I understand. You’re raising a case in ON, distinct from the OP article discussing BC, right? Regardless, there are surely cases where one governing body delays a decision until action is taken by another governing body, or until a study is finished, or whatever. I’m talking about the claim that the delay is to give time for the issue to be “considered”.
I have definately and frustratingly seen GPT3.5-Turbo do a bunch of anticipation in the outputs.

Basically it will create pre-conditions so that the final output aligns to some bias. In my specific case it was the bias to provide an answer to a question. This is noticable sometimes in chain of thought intermediate outputs. I ended up having to create some space between the entangled decisions in the chain of thought output.

If you can't simply upgrade while your program is running, you would fire up a redundant server containing the latest version and take the one you are upgrading offline.

His comparison to the military is weird. It’s well known that from a strict money to time exchange it’s not a great deal. But the target market is also 19 year olds who don’t have social capital, not Harvard undergrads. So yes, improving your future options and skills is a greater value than cash.

That’s true of YC too.
> because driverless cars will eventually eliminate the jobs of thousands of drivers.

This isn’t really plausible in a time frame usually relevant to electoral politics.

Safety issues are real today. You can argue the risks aren’t too elevated, but you can also do the political calculus …
Both of the following can be true:

- A lot of companies and startups can get by with a few modest sized VPSs for their applications

- Cloud providers and other infrastructure managed services can provide a lot value that justifies paying for them.

Edit: also why the obsession with dedicated hardware and so anti vCPU? For the vast majority of people this is an implementation detail that doesn't matter at all. A lot of that dedicated server is sitting idle.
Someone ends up paying Apple either way. On the App Store, that person usually ends up being the developer. With the new framework (stupid as it may be), developers can choose to externalize that cost to users and make an example of how ridiculous it is. With high-demand apps like emulators, it's easy to attract users and directly expose them to the limits Apple imposes on them. That's a great vehicle for change, and I fully expect Apple to backpedal on the Core Technology Fee once it attracts broader scrutiny.

It makes perfect sense to me that paying $99/year for the App Store is cheaper than $0.50/install. But you shouldn't have to pay anything to install Free Software in the first place, so I can also see why some people would consider protesting Apple's policy to be invaluable.

Ok, here are two examples on the top of my head, of fairly trivial programs that are a pain to do right in Java.

1) A program that copies all data from standard input to the standard output. Try to write this without Googling. Simple enough, eh?

2) A program that serves as a middleware between servers and clients, both of which are behind NATs so they connect to your middleware, using gRPC methods. Servers use gRPC streams to maintain a connection, send their ID as the first message, receive request messages, and send reply messages. Clients send ID and request in a message, and receive reply message.

I hope you're willing to show me how wrong I am by writing the code :)
I find this notion completely alien. Paraphrasing (with some exaggeration): "it's outrageous we are paying people working at hospitals/schools/non-profits high salaries, they really should be doing it from the goodness of their hearts. The only people that should be earning big bucks are the engineers devolving the tech to keep us addicted to social media, the ad tech that extracts more value from every person and the fiance people to extract the maximum from the general economy to funnel it into some rich pockets! Really people working on things that are actually good for society, should be happy with that and work for free! "
Well, I wouldn't say we are "in agreement" on this. The reason I commented initially just on the number of nines, is because that was a clear cut thing, which I thought kind of amusing.

Certainly I agree that one cannot really mentally keep thinking long-term about each individual person one encounters That would take too much time.

Yet, see Matthew 25:40-45 .
Unless VLC is one of the historic cases, F-Droid builds apps from source themselves [1]. They are more like a Linux Distro than an app store in that way. VLC hasn't had a new stable version tagged since 3.5.4 so that's what F-Droid ships[2].

VLC is a fine player, but it's very slow with new features. How come a project this big has to rely on donations?

The extension API is terrible. One of my pet peeves are the subtitles. You cannot take screenshots without subtitles when it's on, because it's rendered on the same overlay as the video.

Please put the subtitles on an overlay... If the audio volume can be on an overlay, so can the subtitles be. VLC needs to ramp up development and UI efforts, because PotPlayer is a much better, feature laden player, although it's Windows only :(.
To be fair, here, Signal's whole original differentiating feature was cryptographically guaranteed forward secrecy (with non-interactive message delivery). Signal therefore uses "ratcheting keys". If you let the current version of your keys, or even your chat history, get into a backup, you've ruined the main point.

I do tend to agree that that kind of forward secrecy isn't actually important for very many people, and most of those people have other, bigger leaks to worry about. I don't use Signal myself. But it's still the big thing Signal was originally created to offer.
They are, but they still need to communicate with the browser process to do privileged tasks and that code can still have errors. Also, a crash doesn't necessarily mean a vulnerability, it could be a purposeful crash due to an invariant being untrue, so Chrome will crash out of caution.
> Does anyone really think [there is an] honest desire for more time to "consider the effects" of something?

Sometimes it might translate to: "We don't want to be the experimental guinea-pig, let someone else try first..."

"... So we honestly desire more time to consider the effects that will have happened to them."
I didn't downvote you, btw (I upvoted you). I think MLK Jr's problems with the government weren't traditional spying, they were more harassment of government employees acting on their own because they were bigots. The organized government actions that did happen, IIRC, were in places were the local government was highly corrupt and infiltrated by the KKK.
> They are in fact not widely used.

Ah, as a fact it presumably has some form of evidence that demonstrates it. Would you mind sharing that evidence?
Nonsense. Using a structured format means all tools are using the same format, instead of every tool making up their own (usually broken) system.

Look at how many flags `ls` has to feed filenames into other programs without breaking.

Also, using a proper format like JSON makes it actually robust. Most ad hoc pipelines break if you so much as put a space in a filename.
In Switzerland, Delta Emulator is not available in the App Store since Riley made it an AltStore exclusive in Europe.

Are you the author?

I noticed you've been adding additional information in response to many comments, which led me to believe you might be the creator of this doomscroller. However, I didn't see any mention of you being the author.

Typically, on Hacker News, when the original poster is not the author and the author discovers that one of their works is trending, they promptly join the discussion, usually starting with "author here.."

This isn't a strict rule but more of a best practice or convention.

Anyway, excellent work!
Typography is a bit of a thankless profession. If you do a good job, nobody notices because your job is to make type unnoticeable. It's only when someone messes up that you suddenly notice the type and start thinking about it.
Unfortunately that means you're more likely to think that typographers don't know what they're doing (whatever the application); it's the only type you really looked at.
Which US companies has China forced to divest their holdings?
Thank you! So it's the "stickiness" of DC causing these problems, eh? I wonder if there are applications where the DC could temporarily be converted to AC or turned into some kind of oscillating DC temporarily to use more hardware.
I am, yes. Alpine is not full-source-bootstrapped, often imports and trusts external binaries blindly, has no signed commits, no signed reviews, no signed packages, and is not reproducible. It is one phished git account away from a major supply chain attack any day now.

Alpine chooses low security for low contribution friction. It is the Wikipedia of Linux distros, which granted it a huge package repository fantastic for experimental use and reference, but it is not something sane to blindly trust the latest packages of in production.

It is one of the reasons why I made stagex, which in most cases is a near drop-in replacement.

I'm not saying that they don't need to check auth by repo. They can still check the auth when they look up the metadata for the file. Just don't include it in the URL.

The auth difficulty may make moving the files to a different domain more difficult, but same domain path shouldn't matter.
In the US it’s usually randomised as well
I think OP is quite right that insurance drives tests and costs up because contrary to what we think it is good for the insurance companies if the doctor bill is high because then people buy more expensive insurances and thus higher revenue for the insurance company.

If the cost would be low there would be no need for an insurance.
> Blizzard didn't "work with" NetEase, they basically gave them the IP and ability to sell the game in China as well as ownership of all servers that host Chinese players.

My dear bro, this is called "working with".

> Microsoft did the same thing with their Office suite and Azure cloud services... because they aren't allowed to independently operate in China.

You're the one actually being manipulative with words here: Microsoft is allowed to sell products in China and they do, by independently operate you might mean "ignore Chinese laws" some of which include the fact that Microsoft is required to share data with our government on a regular basis. Beyond ethics and ad tracking, why would another government allow US-based companies to effectively spy on them?

> They don't allow foreign competition. This creates an uneven playing field.

Again not true, you just have to follow the laws of whatever country you're operating in.

Being myself in somewhat similar state couple times I suggest more wholistic examining of your life and other aspects beside work.

I concur that the system works.

The point of the article is who does it work for?

Personally, I agree with you. If you're just coming out of college this is a great way to get a couple years of salary and a chance to work on whatever you like. Give it a few years, if it doesn't work out it hasn't really cost anymore than a post-grad course in terms of time.

Basically you can view the whole program as a simple "job" with pay, with a 1% chance of going big. That's probably worth taking a punt on.

99% will fail, so frankly I wouldn't spend more than 5 years on this path, but if you're young you can afford that time.

Honestly this approach seems a lot more attractive than putting up my own life savings to start a business. Or working without income for a year or whatever.
When they do it, it's totalitarian. But when we do it, it's merely sensible policy.

To operate in China you need to partner with local businesses and give up 50% of the local business. Also many American businesses are simply banned and were effectively forced to divest to recover funds.
