> Japan had deflation and as a normal person it was great.

BS.

Deflation means that (on average) people can't afford to buy goods. They simply don't have money to do that!

Japan has essentially zero GDP growth since 1990-s as a result.
Keeping a website afloat is far less capital intensive than running a car maker. If you are building cars, you have to have a continuous massive amount of investment into development. For running a social media website you just need competent staff and cover hardware costs.

You can free-float X to a certain extent, just make sure neither users nor advertisers run away. If you are building cars and a model completely falls flat you are easily down billions of dollars.

> somehow, I would happily pay for that

When I was in my 20s, I found all of the "pay" dating services to be rip-offs.

Everyone who was on (pay dating site that I can't remember) was also on OkCupid, so it didn't make any sense to pay for a smaller net.

Table For Six (advertised on the radio) turned out to be a scam when I went to the interview. I should have known to walk out, instead of haggling, as soon as "twenty nine, ninety nine" was $2999.00. (I later met a fool who signed up for the service, turned out they had so few suckers that only a few people showed up at the events.)
German "Grundgesetz" (basic law/constitution) as Git repository
As a European I prefer the way we do things here, but I do envy the amount of publicly owned land in the US where citizens do have freedom to roam. e.g. National Parks, BLM & Forrest service land. We have less space, most land already owned by a private citizen since Feudal times.
Are you using Blazor Hybrid or are you going native? I've been trying to learn Avalonia and already moved away from ReactiveUI in favor of MVVM. My server application is built in Blazor, so kinda wondering how well concepts transfer over.
> I think you're referring to the fact that genetic differences between individuals within a group are larger than differences between groups

But that's the rub though: How do you define that there are groups in the first place? There is no way to land at our socially-defined set of races via objective means.
Yes, the future is hard to predict. Why bother?
IMHO, this article isn't very substantive and reads like FUD for clicks.

I'm inclined to believe that Microsoft is doing fairly well amongst Fortune 500 and cloud companies. Not perfect, but fairly well.

Am I offbase?

Edit: I guess I am. Thanks for clarifying and augmenting with more evidence, repliers.

And if you do find a community you like, make sure you support it financially. Hosting isn't free and banner ads don't pay like they used to.
I learned to program with BASIC. My first program was one to balance my Dad's checkbook. I copied it from a manual and added some extra PRINT statements for flair. I was in 4th grade. It was on a Timex Sinclair. Then I tried to draw a smiley face and ran out of RAM -- it only had 1K.
First of all, the headline is pretty clickbaity -- from the article it seems quite clear that this was a case of competing buyers, and the 8-foot setback is some spurious justification for why one of the buyers didn't move fast enough.

Second, many commenters here are arguing that perpetual clauses like this ought to be disallowed. It certainly makes sense to me that clauses like these ought to be converted to regular zoning laws that the city can then adjust as future generations deem necessary.

But third, this particular clause makes sense! You wouldn't want to get rid of it. All the buildings on the block have façades that are aligned with each other, to form a continuous "wall" of buildings. The last thing you want is for some random property owner to get to jut out 8 feet in front of all the other buildings. Ensuring some minimal level of architectural consistency on a dense city block is a good thing.

So keep the eight-foot setback. It makes perfect sense. But just convert it to be a city zoning regulation. It should be decided and modified if necessary via democratic means, not private contract.
Would love to see what would happen if governments put some interesting tax policies in place. Taxing Non-primary residences at a higher rate. Taxing empty units at a higher rate to prevent price fixing due to artificial supply control.

And when I say empty unit, I would include commercial in that list. Land that is sitting unused, that is zoned to be commercial, industrial, residential, should be taxed at a higher rate to encourage it's sale and/or development for it's zoned purpose.
It is going to be difficult proving the causation.

Intuitively, the turmoil likely causes the decrease.

Let's say we have 3 groups:

1. Support Palestine
2. No strong opinion
3. Support Israel.

Before the Hamas massacre, the 3 groups already apply to Harvard.

Now that Harvard showed to support Palestine borderline Hamas. It alienates Number 3 and partly Number 2.

Number 1 already applies to Harvard therefore doesn't increase in size.

To be fair, I think everyone underestimates the difficulty—including managers, the people that hire them, and the people who org companies to "require" a large number of people with these scarce skills.

While I agree ICs underestimate the difficulty, I think what ICs are usually responding to is that the managing isn't good. Whether that's because managing is difficult or because their manager is bad is in some sense not what matters. Those problem are the managers' job or the managers' managers' job.
>It is commonplace now that young people at the workplace produce 5x as much as their older colleagues.

Is this commonplace? This doesn't match my experience, not in tech but in finance departments.
Competent companies tend to put a lot of effort into building data analysis tools. There will often be A/B or QRT frameworks in place allowing deployment of two models, for example, the new deep learning model, and the old rule based system. By using the results from these experiments in conjunction with typical offline and online evaluation metrics one can begin to make statements about the impact of model performance on revenue. Naturally model performance is tracked through many offline and online metrics. So people can and do say things like "if this model is x% more accurate then that translates to $y million dollars in monthly revenue" with great confidence.

Lets call someone working at such a company Bob.

A restatement of your claim is that Bob decided to launch a model to live because of hype rather than because he could justify his promotion by pointing to the millions of dollars in increased revenue his switch produced. Bob of course did not make his decision based on hype. He made his decision because there were evaluation criteria in place for the launch. He was literally not allowed to launch things that didn't improve the system according to the evaluation criteria. As Bob didn't want to be fired for not doing anything at the company, he was forced to use a tool that worked to improve the evaluation according to the criteria that was specified. So he used the tool that worked. Hype might provide motivation to experiment, but it doesn't justify a launch.

I say this as someone whose literally seen transitions from decision trees to deep learning models on < 100 feature models which had multi-million dollar monthly revenue impacts.
I don't think its logistically possible to negotiate with every relevant party in Brooklyn, or even within a half mile radius. It's effectively impossible to change, without resorting to the legislature, if that's a mandatory requirement.

What does imploded mean here?
Agree 100% with this. I have found over the years (even when I was younger) that crunching or putting in a lot of extra hours generally results in subpar work.
BASIC was my first programming language. Of course I abandoned it for Fortran, C, C++, etc. But when I was considering developing D, I thought about string manipulation. It was so easy in BASIC. Why was it so terrible in C and C++? So, so many bugs in string manipulation code. So much time spent on it.

A major goal of D was to have strings work like in BASIC. And they do! Very happy about that. Thank you, BASIC!

A kind of radical belief that I hold is that basically everyone would benefit from working as a planner for a year or two, especially if you can spend a good amount of time away from your desk and out on the floor. The lessons you can learn by trying to coordinate a production floor are simultaneously very general, very practical, and oddly difficult to learn elsewhere.

You're wrong. There have not been serious attacks on any jews. There have been a handful of scuffles between counterprotestors, but nobody is being targeted. As someone who is at least ethnically jewish, I am entirely convinced that antisemitism is a red herring. There are far more jews amongst the protestors then there are victims of anything.
The claim about pay is a complete lie. Musk doesn't demand money, he demands control.

The alleged money he asks for does not exist, it is just shares in Tesla, which are currently owned by the company. It's bizarre how misinformed these Journalists are, the real story is far more interesting then just Musk being greedy.

Totally, working hard is necessary but not sufficient to being extraordinarily productive.
When using line numbers you wouldn't go from 1 to 2 to 3 etc, but from 10 to 20 to 30 so that you can always insert a line (e.g. 11) between 10 and 20. After a while when the numbering became to messy, you'd issue a RENUM command to renumber the entire program, e.g. RENUM 10 would make the first line 10, and then use increments of 10 for subsequent lines. At that point you start over by re-inserting new lines between the others.

The term "gigacasting" is just made up by Tesla right? It's just casting?

The news uncritically letting a company just invent a new branded term for an existing technology and parroting it in their reports comes across as very weak journalism. Honestly it means I have no trust that the journalist is bringing any insight/analysis/critical reading etc.
Well, you conveniently ignored half of my point. Even without ssh depending on systemd (dependency introduced by distro maintainers, not systemd, mind you), a backdoor in xz can still exploit your system in a myriad of ways.

And secondly, I would say even if nobody is going to blame me, I would still secure my systems. Why? To protect my data of course.
The LLM isn't being perfectly reset. It chooses words randomly; internally it should be slightly different every time. That's the whole point of temperature.
Also, I get the feeling Elon's trip to China and the deal he made was out of desperation. Watch for self-driving technology, that's bug for bug identical to Tesla's, to start showing up in the Chinese EVs.
Not an endorsement for deflation but this week I discovered this [1] because the Argentinian president mentioned that. In that context it makes me thought that the president cherry picked that work because his government economic measures are in that direction now.

SEEKING WORK | Cambridge, UK | Remote preferred (occasional travel OK)

Offering hands-on software development and technical leadership services, I specialise in:

• Mathematical, scientific and engineering applications

• Software for hardware (IoT, embedded, lab equipment)

• Challenging presentation (custom UIs, data viz, multimedia/video)

I have over 20 years’ experience developing software, mostly working with smaller organisations. If your situation looks anything like these, I could probably help you:

• A scale-up struggling to overcome early tech debt and transition to more sustainable development

• A hardware start-up looking to outsource software development to a multi-skilled freelancer

• A software start-up that can’t hire permanent senior+ level developers fast enough to hit targets

• A research group needing a professional to implement models and visualisations in good code

Every project is different and will be treated as such, but recently I’ve been favouring TypeScript or Python for web development (with React or Vue for UIs) and Python, C++ or Haskell for more mathematical or hardware-related work. I have experience with a wide range of target platforms from AWS to embedded ARM.

If you have a project that I may be able to help you with, you’re welcome to get in touch. My contact details are in my profile.

I get what you're saying, but this is an HN thread. I see people from companies I use to work at post in these threads sometimes.

It's less a formal post and more like "Hey I'm on a team hiring, here's what the job entails, email me (or recruiter) if interested!"

Yes it might technically amount to a job posting, but being pedantic and making this forum a hellish place probably isn't a good idea :)
It depends on what options sudo us built with. Notably `--disable-env-reset` option.

I don’t want unexpected people on my property. I shoot guns sometimes and can now safely assume there is not going to be anyone on my property that can get injured. My kid wanders around the woods we have by herself, I don’t want the possibility of some random person lurking on the property. I don’t want someone coming on to my property and potentially doing illegal drugs that I may or may not liable for. If I had to exaggerate the danger, you could have someone show up for a day, set up a tent, cook meth on your property and then leave knowing full well that if law enforcement shows up they could just run away.

I’m going to get downvoted for this but Europe is relatively community minded and frankly a little naive. The US is hardcore when it comes to individualism and will frankly exploit everything up to the very edge of the law. You would have tours of private lands set up within the week especially if you have anything interesting on there. My last point is that Europe is a relatively small place so there isn’t a lot of land to roam but the US isn’t like that. There is plenty of public land to roam so we don’t really need this law.

> “…which has the potential to do as much harm as good.”

I find this is one of the more difficult things for people to learn to fully integrate into their psyche. Many people never learn to truly care about this and everything it means. They go on forever primarily caring about what’s good for them personally.
Doesn't your argument that this should be converting to a zoning regulate kind of negate your point that we should want to ensure some level of consistency on a dense city block?
You most likely are going to need more services like cloud object storage and a managed DB. Running all these services by yourself will be hard and should be avoided unless necessary (e.g. compliance).

DigitalOcean is okay-ish although, I don’t feel like their services can handle high amounts of traffic. Their offering is rather complete though as they have an object store with free CDN support, managed DBs, managed app deployment platform (or nodes you can manage or kubernetes distribution) to run apps.
Passive TCP/IP fingerprinting might tell a lot about the device. You could probably easily tell apart an iPad and a router. But if IMEI checking catches 95% of plan cheaters, it's probably not worth implementing more checks (more checks = more cost and infrastructure to maintain, is it cheaper than the lost revenue?).

This said, I find it insane that there are such plans. The cost of a connection should be the same whatever the device behind is.
Show HN: I built a web app to help you save money on groceries
Hello HN, hope everyone's doing well.

If you live in the U.S, inflation has made groceries and household necessities alarmingly expensive. Cue to me being addicted to TikTok videos showing how you can save money by "couponing" or stacking multiple discounts to save money on products within a time period. I was blown away by how much money can be saved.

The challenge I noticed, is that it can be difficult and time consuming to find the optimal deal for certain items and to do so across multiple stores.

I built this MVP to share this with everyone and to get feedback and thoughts! - I know the UI is horrendous I'm just recently learning frontend :)
Very cool. One question: Can Pyinfra create container-like objects and objects inside them? Example: create an RDS database, create a user inside that database, and assign the user a role.

Terraform cannot deploy such a configuration in a single config, since its planning stage requires that all containers already exist. Terraform crashes when planning the user and role changes, saying that the database doesn't exist. This is a large pain-point when using Terraform. How does Pyinfra handle such deployments?
There is probably a small area where it's difficult to measure, so I would not expect billing to be exact to the byte here. But billing for the requested range if not the entire range was actually transferred is just not correct and not acceptable.
I remember reading that up to that time there had only been two protests by Caltech students.

1. When NBC cancelled Star Trek in the late '60s a group of Caltech students went and protested with signs and chanting outside the NBC offices in Burbank.

2. In 1973 people from Dabney House hung a big "Impeach Nixon" sign on Millikan library. There's a picture of that here [1], along with a copy of the letter that the President of National Oil Company then sent to the students of Dabney informing them that he was cancelling a $1 million dollar donation because of that sign. (That would be about $7 million today).

There was an on-campus sit-in about Gaza a couple of days ago [2].
