>I'd just search Reddit.

You forget something. Reddit's search engine has historically been absolute dogshit. In fact there was a short time period it just opened a google window back in the day because they struggled to get it to work. It's gotten better in recent years but it's relatively meh compared to just having google search the reddit domain. Lol
For starters, tents shouldn't be allowed in the downtown area, which is the heart of business, shopping and tourism in San Francisco. It is one of the most expensive areas to live, so just like most residents cannot afford to live there, it is only fair that homeless people don't live there as well.
Copyright issues aside - which can be quite thorny for software this old - I imagine the people who created WordStar must take great pride in the fact that more than thirty years later, people still make good use of their creation.
If the inflation is strictly caused by "corporate greed", and not by an expansion of the money supply, then yes, the prices would drop.

If the inflation is caused by an expansion of the money supply and "corporate greed" is merely the proximal expression of this, and central banks do not decrease the money supply as quickly and as much as they expanded it by, then no, higher prices are here to stay.

Time and reality will tell, no need to argue this out here with people who've already emotionally made up their mind and cannot be reasoned with through rational conversation.

How could it come from Intel when Intel wasn't a fab for hire back then? It was most likely TSMC who said that not Intel.
Lol, no google isn't out to get you rightwingers.

Their only "agenda" is quite leaked at this point, it's to push ads. The more you have to dig, the more ads they get to show you. The more times they can show you ads, the more times they get to charge advertisers those pennies per show.
How do we transmit culture when it cannot be put into words? Essays
It has an incredibly high surface tension and "sticks". It's actually quite hard to apply. I see no risk of leaking.
> You don't seem to understand that what you see as problems to be solved are seen as features by half of our politicians, who would rather have people not vote at all.

I understand because we had the same problem until 1912 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1enz_Pe%C3%B1a_Law that the problem was solved with secret obligatory in person elections. It was not easy. The 1930 were weird. All the last century was weird. This century is weird too, but at least elections are quite transparent.

> And people in charge of elections in Texas make sure that urban neighborhoods (which are likely to vote for the other party) don't have enough polling places to go to.

That's weird. I'm not sure how we ensure everyone has a good site to vote, because I expect some provinces to use all the dirty tricks that are barely legal. It's a good question. My guess is that elections are obligatory here (nobody really checks that, but there is a threat of a fee or something if you don't vote). So people wait outside the voting locations until they can vote, and if the queue is too long they get angry, and may start a small riot, and get the TV, and the federal government may decide to do something like investigating the local corruption.
This "armchair critic" was an engineer at VisionAire Corp. in the late 90's and watched a truly innovative aircraft and company be consumed by the red tape and outright corporate protectionism of the regulatory bureaucracy. Not only have I considered it - I lived it. What relevant experience do you bring to this discussion?
I'm imagining hordes of 20-something engineers living in the Mission with a 15 minute flat bicycle commute to the X office now having to grapple with getting to San Jose. Probably pretty rough news for a decent amount of people.
That was quite naive. The problem is there is little motivation to do that. The designs can't just be scaled down, they need to be recompiled from scratch with the target process' standard cells and verification. That work is expensive as fuck. Then there's packaging and managing the supply chain and data around it. Why bother when demand causes prices to go up? Just pocket the money and wait. If you spend that on more capacity and reengineering you just burn the money.
Evolution isn't smart, it's just a hard worker that's extremely open-minded when it comes to results.
Yes, the debt weighs heavily around their neck. If it eventually ends up in bankruptcy, will Elon Musk lose control of his beloved x.com domain name for the second time?
Fair enough, and in retrospect I largely agree. The app is currently in development, so we are trying to raise funds to build.
>Isn't this just a little bit irrational?

Completely rational in my mind.

>It's caused by the fact the bank of Japan put up their interest rate by 0.25% last week? The second rate hike in years.

Certainly connected and related. They did the opposite of what they should be doing, but why didnt it crash in march? This is certainly not the whole story.

Why would a 0.15% increase to bank rates in Japan cause all of crypto to crash the same?

Also, why did lockheed martin just do a 52 week high? All rational.
It's his personal blog, and he allows the plebs to post comments.
But even if, as you argue, calling for violence against people is part of right wing ideology or culture, it still seems reasonable to prohibit that. We do have to draw a line somewhere even against things that may be ingrained in a particular culture and which may have a disproportionate effect on that culture.

But we should examine these choices in a principled way. Still, prohibiting calls for violence doesn’t seem like a gray area…
Uhuh.

I guess intel lays off another 15% of people because of ... 'FUD' and 'people who have no idea about the semi industry'

Yea.
I recall seeing some stories years ago was that one issue with Twitter (and most Bay area tech companies at the time) was that due to the presence of an on campus cafeteria, surrounding areas never got much benefit from Twitter's presence.

That is, workers would show up to the building, and then essentially never leave (and spend money at nearby businesses) until the day was over and they went home.

Good thought. Familiarity and muscle memory are a big asset. As a long time emacs user, I feel the same about my tool of choice. It's not always about being the absolute best tool there is, but about being one that you know inside and out - you no longer need to spend a lot of time figuring out how to do something, you can just do it.
> So I'd imagine a single billionarie could fix SF's situation in a blink of an eye, no?

There's no money in that though, and there's lots of money in keeping Americans divided.
> And if those "Terms of Service" heavily aligns with left-wing ideology?

First, they don’t - if they had, you would be able to provide an example rather than confabulating about imaginary scenarios.

Second, private companies are generally not obligated to provide you services on your own terms. If a bar kicks you out from screaming threats at other patrons, your rights are not being violated - go find a place which welcomes you.

Third, it’s not 50%, although I can understand why you’d make that up, but a fraction of a percent. Almost all conservatives were not banned because they didn’t repeatedly violate the terms of service. The ones who were kicked out were given warnings, chose to ignore them, and had the promised consequences.
I don't think it's a resource allocation issue. SF government alone spends almost a billion a year[1] on trying to improve the situation. That's not including the non-profit spending. Money won't buy the city out of this situation as long as there exist people who don't want to live in homes and play by the rules.

Remove them. It is an abuse of the commons that creates a vicious cycle that will only exacerbate the problem. And for your next question, San Fran already spends $141k per year per homeless person. That’s 7x LA. It isn’t working because of the lack of accountability and oversight in the use of those funds and San Fran’s lax (even favorable treatment) of public drug use, public camping, and general lawlessness. Send them to a shelter, treatment, or jail. “Harm reduction” doesn’t work. Full stop.
The latter half has a lot of criticism of allegedly boneheaded management
(from the perspective of the writer and researchers they quote).
It allows them because of a court case that said they can't take them down unless they can provide shelter, and they've refused to build enough shelter space.

The supreme court invalidated that decision, and so now they are allowed to tear the tent cities down again without having to actually find people shelter space. I imagine a lot of these encampments are going to be torn down (which will just cause them to relocate until they end up at a place where no one cares).
> What makes 2022 so unique

COVID was the omni-excuse. You didn’t have to say “we’re raising prices because we want to make obscene profits.” Instead, you could shrug sympathetically with the customer and say, “well, you know, times are tough. It’s hard to get the things you need, and we’re trying to get this at a price as affordable as we can… oh, also, hit the tip button on the screen from now on because our staff are working so hard through the pandemic and it’s so hard to find help (at the price we want to pay).”

Never underestimate a good story.
Exactly. There's a reason an IFR GPS navigator costs upwards of $10K. It's incredibly expensive to make certified avionics.

"(an aviation grade GPS can cost upwards of $10k, but it’s the same hardware as in a $20 consumer grade GPS)"

No, it's absolutely not the same hardware as a consumer grade GPS. And this misses the entire point of why it costs so much.
> Thanks for pointing out another vulnerability of in-person voting that mail-in voting doesn't have, due to its distributed nature.

If they implement something like that here, I expect in some places that people is ask to go to the local party office and left the ballot/envelop with the code. It is easier. Voting chain is a trick to avoid the in-person checks.
If the problem were literally that "these people want houses and just can't afford them," I think that'd work. But that's not the issue in San Francisco.

I doubt it. With WordStar/WordPerfect, the original developers and vendors are no longer in the game.

If Microsoft did that, they would be admitting, basically, the last 20 years were mostly wasted on useless gadgets. Some users, of course, would argue that, yes, they were. But Microsoft's management and stockholders would not be happy about that.
"No fatal airplane crashes in my back yard" is probably the easiest NIMBY to justify of all time.

So true. And next to the 675,000 lines of business logic that you describe, you'll need an additional 133,700 lines of boilerplate code that:

- ensures all operations are atomic. You can't just post to an API and then insert something in your database: that's a guarantee to have payments in one place and not the other.

- has some way to retry on failure: your average job-queue with exponential backoff is quite certainly still too naive.

- has full, secured and guaranteed audit logs. That have all the data needed for an audit, but also not too much. You chose to not go for the Event Sourced Architecture because of Reasons? Good luck bolting it in now.

The hard part isn't generating some pain.001.001.03 (yes, that really is the name for the SWIFT Payments Initiation in iso-20022) format. The hard part is everything else.
It's just lay off season. Wait until all the other companies go "oh hey us too" in a few weeks.

Also look at the market tank. What's the usual reaction to that? Trim costs to improve shareholder appearance.
Ask HN: If Local LLMs Are Possible, Why Not Local Web Search?

Ah, that would do it. I've just been reading some of his posts and watched his podcast with Chris Williamson[1], and he seems like a rather smart, earnest guy trying to do his best to help out the country. He did mention the whole bureaucracy is rather dysfunctional and the general feel of this post[2] was that a catastrophe was another Tuesday at 11am, so maybe he just didn't know there was a fire to put out?

Twitter has always skewed older, in terms of not having kids on it, but it's still mostly people in their 20s and 30s. And there's far less 50+ yr olds in 2024 than FB according to statista:

Twitters largest demo is 25-34yr olds = 36%, 18-24 = 34.2%. While 50+ yr = 7%

https://www.statista.com/statistics/283119/age-distribution-...

Facebooks largest demo is 25-34yr olds = 24% followed by 35-44 = 19%. While 50+ yr = 24%

Intel has cranked up its dev support and market cornering machine in the past. Let’s see if it can do that again without a near-monopoly market status.
A lot of scientists and journalists have not moved to other platforms. I tried to use instagram instead but the algorithmic injection of content and a terrible UI make it unusable for me.

I find using Twitter in the "following" mode, as opposed to the default "for you", I get a lot of value content and almost no noise.
With VIM:

ma
Now do what ever you'd like.
v`a

The shortcut "ma" sets mark 'a', and "v`a" selects from whereever you are to mark 'a'.
That probably works when people have no money and no place to go.
I used to live near Portland OR, and in that case many or most choose to be there, they wanted drugs and ANY house they lived in would soon be trashed.
But boring stuff has low margins. Intel has been living in a high-margin world at least since the 8086. They currently don't know how to survive on low margins. I'm not sure they can learn.
You are saying that a more complicated setup and harder to learn tool is superior. Not sure i get your point. Parent has a point with the number of keystrokes.

“This is why interest rates are an effective tool for lowering inflation”

Increasing interest rates just increases government transfer payments but the money goes to people who already have money, and they happily spend it.

Any reduction in spending is matched by an increase in a different demographic.

Once the central bank starts increasing interest rates that’s what drives inflation.

The real reason increasing interest rates is a popular response to inflation is because of academic capture by right wing libertarians, all to benefit the wealthy.

After all, if there are inflationary pressures it’s the creditors that lose out unless they can charge more interest.

Politics. You have a leadership and public hostile to public transport, simple as that.

I have lived in some cities where things are not like this. Where public transportation is amazing and getting better by the year.

It’s a shame every time I read people ignorant how a modern city can function with a pedestrian/bicycle/tram/bus/train. Where it’s quiet and calm.

But how do you convince people who have only seen the insides of cars that public transportation can be superior?
Huh, Netflix has ads? Has this only rolled out in stone regions?
There may be premature shutdown but no buiness plans to run servers for free forever. Ongoing server costs will be part of the business plan from the start.
You should check out my book then. I realized that everyone was starting to, not write books, but that they were writing instructional books teaching about how people should write books. I said to myself, "well let's teach them how to do THAT instead". One step more metain the game. Anyway, my book is about how to make videos to teach people how to write books, things like marketing and profit-maxxing. There's a lot of great pedagogy in there.

Also what kind of name is "100 rabbits". Reminscent of "50 blessing" from hotline miami
> "A well functioning engineering team needs a well defined hierarchy".

This is the exact opposite of what most skilled teams would say. Defined hierarchies stifle technical innovation, and build friction when they don't match the reality of people's talents. In reality, the technical teams will self-organize around the actual skills and leadership of the members, regardless of any formal hierarchy or org charts. Scrum lets that happen, deliberately.

So yeah, Scrum sucks. It truly bites. But not for the reasons posted here.

I don’t know the answer, but I have noticed something clearly rather odd going on in the grocery sector/industry, an industry that was probably the least affected by the lockdown command economy than any industry and by far margin.

There is one niche but growing discount grocer that effectively has prices similar albeit elevated, from pre-lockdown prices, while other larger, mainstream general grocers have far higher prices, as measured by staple goods like eggs, milk, beef, chicken, etc.
> As companies that do heavy financial management refresh their architecture and move to modern web servers and the like, they'll likely need to rebuild it from scratch. This is what iso20022.js plays a small part in - if they're building on Node this is a convenient library for them to use.

Are companies do heavy financial management refreshing their architecture in node, javascript and typescript? And do they then rely on a library with one sole contributor?

Sorry if this sounds dismissive. I am actually afraid by the answer, because, having worked in fintech, I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is "yes, certainly some".
I think it's mainly corruption. A significant amount of budget (hundreds of millions) is allocated to "deal" with homelessness in SF, so efforts to actually solve the problem are going to face significant challenges from existing beneficiaries.

Put another way, everyone in Germany except the rich are forced to pay for a full-price family plan that includes coverage for spouse and kids, and do not even have the option to instead opt for a much cheaper individual plan that only covers themself?

That sounds like single people are indirectly subsidizing the healthcare of families by paying full price without reaping the full benefits. This sounds less fair to me than the American system where an individual can opt to pay much less in exchange for coverage only for themself.

Unless I am misunderstanding and such an option does exist in Germany?

The smaller sizes are more expensive (as are much larger), it seems like 0.75 is around the cheapest per metre. However it's a lot heavier (0.75/0.125)^2 = 36 times) so less useful for this purpose.
