None of that listed technology comes from building reusable rockets.

The rest of your statement only indicates that Starship is indeed a fat pig when it comes to budget. This “boom” is all private for profit companies spending investment money. Not a “boom” in the sense that any man can get involved and benefit in the tangible future.

Pretending that everyone is going to be better off because of this space dream delusion doesn’t really answer my question.
The secretary of state also publishes this data.
At the end of the day, children have no right to free speech. No GOP policy has ever prevented parents from showing whatever to their children. The only thing sought to be regulated is what set of books any child can pick out. I'm honestly shocked this is controversial.

Do I agree with all the curatorial decisions? No of course not. However, it's not censorship, it's curation of material for children's consumption.

On the other hand, Amazon's censorship is targeted at adults. You're correct that Amazon itself is only 50% of the marketplace. But Amazon is not just Amazon the company. It's also a marketplace where other sellers are. Altogether, those sellers constitute 40% of the e-commerce market. Again, a significant portion. Their decision to not allow those selling 'controversial' books on their market (and keep in mind they will sell you all kinds of depraved pornographic material. You can even buy Mein Kampf on amazon [1]) is basically greatly limiting the distribution of the book. That is un-American.

Censorship is not just about government. At some point people need to get that. It's just like redlining. Businesses cannot decide to en masse deny the market to an entire group of people or ideas.

[1] adults should be able to. Children may be not.
That does no good. Good people don’t need it bad people don’t listen to it.
I don't understand what this is, have you been saving that link for 3 months so that you could say I-told-you-so to a comment that wasn't directed at you and which you didn't reply to at the time?
my implicit point was that most people don't want monorepo; when they talk about monorepo they talk about consolidating a project together, that can span many different repos and technology.

I'm not convinced that making completely different teams work on the same repo is making things better. In the case of cascading dependencies what usually works better than a convoluted technical solution is communication.
Isn't the problem with deflation that it de-incentivizes investment (why accept risk when you can just stuff your mattress with money and grow your wealth risk-free), which tanks the economy?

Lowering prices sounds nice, but my understanding has always been that it would come at the cost of less actual wealth overall.
> which clearly

There are plenty of theories of what happened. For example, Harris did target the center and the not-convinced-by-Trump republicans a lot, which is probably what alienated her voter base more than saying something that was already said during Biden election and did not alienate them.

I really doubt you can seriously pretend that the Democrats would have done better without their share of lying. Maybe yes, but maybe no, and concluding one of the two is just as valid as the any other conclusion. One may can even argue that they did not lie enough, as the lies on the Republican side did helped them a lot (unless we consider that republican voters are intrinsically more morally bankrupted than the democrat ones, and that republican voters like lies while democrat voters don't).

As for the fear/hatred, it's a funny thing. If you put one liar and one honest person in the same room, one will say "the other one is the liar" and the other one will say ... "the other one is the liar". It's funny that if you put someone who want to use fear and hatred for their own profit and someone who don't, the first one will say "if you vote for my opponent, it will be very dangerous because their are pushing for fear and hatred" and the second one will say the same.
Sometimes not even a rehearsal. Chuck Berry was famous for just showing up minutes before he was supposed to go on and using whatever musicians happened to be around. Apparently, lots of not-yet-famous musicians were in Chuck's backup band at one time or another, Springsteen among them.

Huh. Last time I got an IDP from AAA, I don't think the lady behind the desk even really looked at the photo. She just took my $20, copied the info from my app to my permit, stapled one of the photos to the permit, and handed it to me. It was like less than three minutes total.

Sort of; at medium scale you can blue/green your whole system out of the monorepo (even if its say 20 services) in k8s and flip the ingresses to cut over during release.

Of course k8s not required, you can do it in straight IaC etc (i.e deploy a whole parallel system and switch).

It's still "mixed fleet" in terms of any shared external resources (queues, db state, etc) but you can change service interfaces etc with impunity and not worry about compatibility / versioning between services.

Throwing temporary compute at the problem can save a lot of busywork and/or thinking about integration problems.

This stops being practical if you get _very_ big but at that point you presumably have more money and engineers to throw at the problem.
Ah yes my favourite thing to have to do, rolling my own deploys and rollbacks.

It’s stuff like this that’s just a thousand papercuts that dissuades me from using these “simpler” tools. By the time you’ve rebuilt by hand what you need, you’ve just created a worse version of the “more complex” solution.

I get it if your workload is so simple ir low requirement that zero-downtime deploys, rollbacks, health/liveness, automatic volumes, monitoring etc are features you don’t want or need, but “it’s just as good, just DIY all the things” doesn’t make it a viable alternative in my mind.
Agreed. Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Florida..... visited all of them in the last 12 months during various seasons.... they ALL have significantly better roads than California. HOW!!!!!! HOW!

Stimulus spending can cause inflation, but doesn't do so necessarily. A cursory look at deficits and inflation charts will tell you as much. Biden got inflation under control and got the economy to bounce back very quickly -- a feat very few people believed he could pull off.

"Reducing prices" means deflation, which doesn't happen outside of a depression. Triggering a depression intentionally is absolutely bonkers in terms of policy.

> The US military is the largest socialist jobs program in the world and is the single greatest creator of skilled labor for our economy.

This sounds an awful lot like the broken window fallacy. Wars are destructive and any amount spent on that destruction is lost from the economy no matter how many people you hire in the process. Surely funding schools would be a more direct way of creating skilled labour.
Apologies, Dang. I wasn’t trying to spawn an instance of the Internet’s Oldest Flamewar by choosing as my example of Trump voter interviews in the late twenty-teens a paraphrase of the ones I remembered best, which happened to be the statements of pro-life evangelicals.
> Democrats are very much pro-ownership, and have no interest in weakening the capitalist class in any ways, shape or form.

While Marx believed that was necessary to see post-scarcity, it very well could be that he was wrong. This may come as a surprise to you, but he wasn't an all-knowing genie, just a feeble human. At this point in time we seem to be going down the right road without needing to do that. As before, I think we can agree that American innovation has brought us closer to post-scarcity than anything else the world has ever known.

If you are trying to say that Harris isn't a Marxist, then sure, that's fair. But we're clearly talking about "communist", not "Marxist". That these words happen to share the same last three letters does not imply that they are the same word.

If you are trying to say that Harris isn't a member of the Communist Party, as an earlier poster seemed to mistake, that is also fair. Clearly she is not that either. But, again, we're talking about "communist" not "member of the Communist Party". It is possible for a communist to be a member of the Communist Party, just as a liberal may be a member of the Democratic Party, but being a communist/liberal does not imply alignment with a political party. For our Canadian friends, being a liberal does not imply support of the Liberal Party either. Ideologies and political groups are quite distinct from each other.

> Communism is not about post-scarcity, to the contrary. It's an economic system that seeks to distribute finite resources equitably

Perhaps you just phrased it poorly, but communism is more of a lack of a system. It doesn't even have a state to administer a system! Those things go away when you have post-scarcity, naturally. Communism is not about post-scarcity, but you need post-scarcity to allow it to happen. You fundamentally cannot go stateless, classless, and moneyless without post-scarcity. Hence why communists seek post-scarcity. It is the change that ushers in communism.

> So arguing that any of Harris or Trump have anything to do with communism is either very dishonest or coming from a place of deep ignorance.

Or just boring old semantics. That is what you seem to present here, offing that Harris is not a communist simply by redefining communist (granted, it appears as though you may be struggling to get out what you are trying to say, so it might just be that).

Regardless, I spelled out my definition. Even it is not the same as your pet definition, it is the one that was given. The context is set. Under that definition, how is Harris not a communist?
The biggest hurdle I've encountered is cross-stack resource sharing, especially in case of bidirectional dependencies like KMS keys and IAM roles.
What should they have gotten?
I think Canada had a poorly determined policy which the country couldn't handle the incredible surge of immigrants - especially those who came from south asia through the diploma mill college route and added limited value to the country. Also in Canada the more people come the worse the socialized services if it isn't properly managed (which it hasn't been).
I think a common argument is that it is to offset externalities but in reality I've never seen a sin tax that is based on the cost of the externality.

The tax on cigarettes is not pegged to the expenditures on COPD and other diseases and etc.

Afaik, all sin taxes go into the general coffers so they can't really be based on externalities. Plus the fuel tax doesn't even pay enough for road repair never mind any externalities (especially considering there's often no sales tax on fuel).
The criteria says "Two original passport pictures" ; it does not say "recent".

Regardless, the photos are recent (<1yr) and my driver's license has a 5 year validity and passports 10 year validity. As an illogical person, I sometimes change my appearance over a given 10 year span.

When I renew my US passport by mail, they don't actually know what I look like at the time of the renewal.

I worked at a liquor store when I was 21 and lived in a midwestern bible-belt state. We had flyers at the counter educating customers to vote against a raise of sin-taxes (alcohol, tobacco, possibly adult material, I don't recall) to offset a budget deficit (specifically upkeep of roads and highways).

It's not right for my vices to pay for your infrastructure. Tax tobacco to fund cancer research. Tax alcohol to advance treatment of liver disease. Tax porn to fund, I dunno, therapy for people who can't view it in moderation.

On a similar note, I do NOT have a problem with paying for schools even though I don't have kids. It raises property values and that's a benefit to me and everyone in the district. Plus, educating young people benefits society as a whole. I'm not some "don't tax me" guy because taxes are good. They just should be limited and targeted and not levied unfairly against those with bad habits for the benefit / relief of all.

That said, I apologize for quitting drinking. Research into treating cirrhosis of the liver will have to take a moderate hit and that's my fault. /s but only sorta

Show HN: QABuddy – Test your mobile app flows with natural language and AI
> We need a team of economists to rederive the relative elasticities of various design choices and boil them down to a new set of design heuristics for space system production oriented towards maximizing volume of production.

Hi HN! I’m Luigi, the founder of QABuddy (https://www.qabuddy.io), a platform designed to make mobile app testing faster, more reliable, and smarter with the help of AI. I started building this because, as a former mobile engineer, I found that mobile testing often became a bottleneck in delivering high-quality apps quickly.

What QABuddy does:

QABuddy uses AI to automate end-to-end tests on mobile apps.

The software can navigate an app as a user would, and I created a dashboard where you can write test cases in natural language. The QABuddy agent then executes these cases, checking for bugs, errors, or adherence to validation criteria.

How it works:

- After subscribing, you’ll gain access to a dashboard where you can create any test case you want in natural language, specifying environment variables (like login credentials or feature flags) and special conditions (e.g., clearing app data before running).
- You’ll have access to a CLI tool via Homebrew, which lets you run tests locally. The AI interprets the natural-language prompt and executes it, staying consistent through UI changes or unexpected pop-ups.
- The dashboard provides comprehensive test reports, allowing you to see which tests failed and understand why they didn’t pass.

Why I built QABuddy:

I know the pain points of mobile testing firsthand. I’ve worked as a Mobile Lead Engineer and Mobile Freelance Engineer since 2014, building apps across domains like e-learning, IoT, and delivery. The main challenge has been testing app quality from a user’s perspective. I’ve tried everything on the market—from checklists and manual testing to instrumented tests for both iOS and Android. Now, I believe AI offers a powerful way to make testing more efficient and rigorous.

Who it’s for:

QABuddy is ideal for mobile app development teams frustrated with the need to balance manual testing with automated tests that constantly need updating. It supports iOS and Android, with compatibility for all frameworks (Native, React Native, Flutter, KMP, Ionic…), and runs locally in simulators and emulators.

Where I’m headed:

I’m working to make mobile testing even more intuitive by implementing continuous learning, so our AI refines test cases based on previous runs. We’re also adding cloud-based testing to support CI/CD pipeline integration, and we plan to cover web apps soon.

I’ve been developing this product as a solo founder for a few months, and I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any questions you might have about QABuddy or the problems we’re tackling. I’m here to improve, and any suggestions from the HN community would mean a lot to me!

Thanks for reading,

Luigi
I'm in a long-distance[1] situationship[2], and my significant other has bpd (we believe) as well as other difficult co-morbidities.

I'm also trying to be supportive and help, but I'm often at a loss over how to help. A lot of the time I listen and nod along with "yeah that sucks." But it feels like all I can actually do is try and find the optimistic side or solutions to problems, and most of the time I get shut down as they can only see the negatives. I can't blame them, but what else can I do?

I'm trying to be caring, but also stay partially detached in case the worst happens. The election results are not helping.

I may be oversharing, and I don't know if you have any advice to give. But I have not met anyone in a similar situation. I wouldn't even know where to find them, or if that would even help.

[1] Started off in the same place, but we both had to move back to our home countries.

[2] We are young and it doesn't seem right to plan our lives together so early. Especially since it would involve moving countries, potential career ramifications, a lot more caretaking, etc. We didn't start the relationship thinking we would be together as long, but at this point breaking up with them would feel like abandoning them to their situation.

I was mostly trying to point out that 18 years old is pretty old for something that sounds... existential. If a "kid" has tried committing suicide twice before their 16th birthday, I would feel bad telling them "but you see, you can't really tell us how you feel before you're 18".
Most people who make a living as a musician these days do so by being a "renaissance man" of sorts, where they make their money doing a multitude of different things. This includes playing live, but some other examples live sound, stage tech, lighting, promoting/booking events, instrument trade shows, and composing music. You can think of this as being "T-Shaped" in the software industry, except the difference is in the music industry, you need to be "T-Shaped" just to survive, not simply to excel. The "long part of the T" is what you generally want to do most of the time, and it's usually how people identify their job when asked. But really, most of us do a combination of many different things to get by, almost none of these jobs pay enough or are regular enough to do it on their own.

This was, and still is, a HUGE shift in the way I live my life after moving careers from software development into music composition...

Even as a film scorer, who has jobs that last for a long time and include many personal conversations with the film makers, you're not guaranteed to get back-to-back gigs, so when you're done with one score, what's next? It's not like there's always someone handing you jobs if you're doing this by yourself. But that's my preferred angle, because the jobs do last longer and there's a more regular (and higher) payout. It just takes a lot of back and forth with the people making the film, in order to get the vibes just right.
