Three Proven Strategies to Monetize AI Features in SaaS
You nailed my intent here, although I wasn't really advocating for it either. More just reminding HN readers that we aren't representative, and that (as the replies here confirm) we seem to forget that.

The world is filled mostly with people who read below the 6th grade level. Those people have average life expectancies, average local jobs, and will retire with average savings if they retire at all.

I'm not judging those average lives, just trying to encourage the high achievers here to consider the way the 24 hour news cycle impacts the average, barely literate, person who just wants to survive their day without falling down either slope of the bell curve.

The author of this paper is the same from the book The Rise and Fall of American Growth:

> The book describes the 100 years following 1870 as the "Special Century", a time of exceptional growth and prosperity, which it claims has been flatlining since 1970, marked by growing inequality and insecure working conditions. Gordon considers that the apparent increasing economic growth since 1970 is just a faint echo of a great wave of economic growth between 1920 and 1970. The first half of the book discusses the change in the American standard of living pre-WW2, with the second half dedicated to the remainder of the 'special century' and the years post-1970.[3][4]

Which caused a bit of a stir in another thread:

His general area of research seems to be looking at economic growth:

> Robert James Gordon is an American economist. He is the Stanley G. Harris Professor of the Social Sciences at Northwestern University and one of the world’s leading experts on inflation, unemployment, and long-term economic growth.

Amongst other roles:

> From 1995 to 1997, he served on the Boskin Commission to assess the accuracy of the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI), having written the definitive criticism of CPI inflation overstatement in 1990.[4] He was also a member of the Business Cycle Dating Committee of the NBER, which determines when recessions start and end, for more than three decades.[5]

I don't know much about Oregon politics, but I think you're focusing too much on individual donors and individual election winners. The point is that whoever wins is beholden to their big campaign donors. Some faction of the upper class is always in control of policy, and the vast majority of voters are just there to decide the competition between those upper class factions. The non-wealthy almost never win, in terms of getting policy that's beneficial to them.

One thing to consider is taking these numbers and diving them by number of votes. Which in sense is what is the goal for spending. And looking at the number. Sometimes one needs to wonder if world has gone wrong somewhere looking at it.

And if just sending check to each voter might have been more productive.

Show HN: fzf-make – a command runner with a fuzzy finder for make, pnpm and yarn
I built a command line tool that executes commands using a fuzzy finder with preview window for make, pnpm and yarn.

If you use fzf-make, you don't need to remember the names or contents of the commands because it displays them for you.

fzf-make also remembers your execution history. So you can run the command you ran previously easily.

Now, fzf-make can be installed via Homebrew, cargo, nix or paru. For more details, please see the Installation section in the README.

I would appreciate your feedback.

Can you easily consume the takeout data?
Ok, so let's check that quora link. The answer is by some random web designer. Their source is this:

https://web.archive.org/web/20120116201141/http://code.googl...

And what does that page say? Right at the top:

> Here are some members of the Developer Relations team

It's not the Chrome engineering team. It's some part of just the team doing developer outreach (not necessarily even the entirity of that team).

You keep finding these obviously incorrect references to support your arguments, and presenting them as facts. And by obvious I mean really obvious. There is no way you can read that page and mistakenly think it's the Chrome engineering team. At this point the best case is that you're not actually reading any of these sources, and just randomly pasting them here. The worst case is that you've noticed that your sources are bogus, and just don't care.

Neither of those is arguing in good faith.

> Ask your dog about their intelligence, and they will reply

If your dog replies, you either have a truly exceptional dog with human-like vocal cords, or need to see a psychiatrist.

That we are more intelligent is nothing more than an evolutionary decision - our ancestors decided to lead lifestyles where trading base energy consumption for higher mental capabilities made sense.

Other creatures are not on auto-pilot, even if their thought process ranges from simpler to outright primitive. When dolphins endanger themselves to chase away sharks to save humans they go against instincts and self preservation (and thereby anything you'd consider autopilot). On the other hand, humans are the ones that have turned averse to danger and anything out of the ordinary, preferring to stick to "auto-pilot" for safety.

In fact, I'd argue that the supposed response from your dog sounds quite like a human: as long as you keep paying me, I'll do the same mindless daily routine without question.
> Well, the highest bidder lost the election.

The highest bidder was Elon Musk at $242.6 billion, and he won.

In any case, I didn't say the highest bidder, singluar, wins elections. I said that our government is for sale to the highest bidders, plural. In other words, whoever wins is beholden to their wealthy campaign donors. Some faction of the rich always win and implement their policy. The non-wealthy almost never win, regardless of which candidate they favor, even if they elect their favored candidate.

We each get one vote, but when a few of us can spend millions of dollars for special access to and favors from the politicians, that's not democracy.
What are these details? I'm curious to know what to focus on and what not to.
> It’s a religious drive if you believe that a CEO should be the sacrificial lamb for the systems politicians have set up.

The system wasn’t set up by accident but at the specific behest of the affected companies. When the prospect of Medicare for all was being discussed a decade and a half ago, look at where all of the money decrying it as socialism came from, and who was funding the politicians talking about things like “death panels”. That proposal was estimated to cut U.S. healthcare costs almost in half, which sounds great as a consumer but represents hundreds of billions annually which is not generating profits for the insurance industry and large providers.

The exact same story played out in 1993 when President Clinton tried to pass healthcare reform, down to the year-long advertising campaign featuring actors pretending to be normal people concerned about bureaucracy which only made sense in a parallel universe where people weren’t having even worse experiences with private bureaucrats every day.
Great for a text terminal browser!
What about the hypothetical regulatory reality where companies can cite “20 years of clinical practice / OTC marketed sales in another country X” as justification enough for considering a medicine to be GRAS until proven otherwise (similar to how most medicines that preceded the creation of the FDA got grandfathered in as GRAS until proven otherwise)?

There are currently several hundred medicines sold elsewhere in the world and considered essential in most places in the world, that no US company is willing to go through FDA trials for, because there’s already an existing foreign patent on the drug, so it’s not worth it because all the US company would end up being able to produce and market is a generic. (US doctors still supply these drugs clinically from time to time; but to do so, they must get special one-time FDA exceptions to import them, and then use them “investigationally.” This usually takes months of back-and-forth and has extreme labor overheads. It also is vulnerable to foreign-market supply shocks.)

The way to cut this Gordian knot is to just not require trials for these drugs. They were already proven long ago to the satisfaction of some other drug agency; and even if the FDA doesn’t trust the standards of that agency, with at least 20 years of existing use, they can simply refer to longitudinal studies conducted in that country that recorded all-cause mortality of patients on the drug vs not.
You're conflating the parent's message.

In this case, the bidders are the donors buying politicians, not the political campaigns trying to influence voters.

> My impression is that it has been stuck in bug fixing/dependency churn for a long time now

I don't think it's just your impression: it's exactly what happened. Depending on Qt for the rendering engine means the browser has been tied to the painfully long release cycle of the whole of Qt. Quickly fixing bugs or implementing new features is hard, they have to hack around limited APIs, beg for more and continually fix new bugs introduced by upstream (both Qt and google).
I suspect a lot of people in the US use credit card generally to mean card of some sort because credit cards are so common.

This seems like a fairly standard practice used in a lot of systems.

Quite a few times I have bought something somewhere as a guest with my email, and then later signed up with that email and all of my history was suddenly in my account. With no confirmation of my email. This doesn't seem that much different in practice.

Admittedly there are a couple of odd things here. Them refusing to do anything about it and not contact the original purchaser, giving the last 4 digits of the purchasers credit card, and some other things probably should not be the case.

I would assume they have a process for "Put in the wrong email address at purchase", but maybe that falls apart when that email address is associated with another already registered user?

That seems the real problem here and not anything about privacy (and I am generally lean on the side of privacy here) when it all boils down to a mistake on the person there made the reservation and accidentally giving someone else their information.

This is giving too much credit to the competence of the same political leadership that has spent the last 30 years dismantling the European war machine(that was pretty solid up until the mid 90s) while Russia and China has been arming themselves to the teeth.

Hehe literally the first sentence of that first article: “Job hopping is nothing new.” The standard advice when I graduated college was to move around every 2-3 years if you want to get promoted. I’d be willing to bet it was a common story 60 years ago.

Furthermore, all three links you provided are talking about all jobs, including labor and minimum wage jobs, not software engineering jobs. Hopping in those jobs has always been common, and it demonstrates very little about software engineering or even white-collar jobs in general.

Here’s hard evidence that job hopping in all jobs has been going on for many decades: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/nlsoy.pdf “Individuals born in the latter years of the baby boom (1957-64) held an average of 12.7 jobs from ages 18 to 56, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.” That puts the average job duration at less than 3 years.

“Although job duration tended to be longer the older a worker was when starting the job, these baby boomers continued to have short-duration jobs. Among individuals who started jobs between the ages of 35 to 44, the average individual had 25 percent of their jobs end in less than a year, and 61
percent end in fewer than 5 years.”

1.) is cherry-picked post-pandemic data and seems to contradict what parent claimed (rates were just as high in 2006), 2.) you’ve overstated (a decline in rates does not mean it “no longer happens”) and 3.) proves nothing. I’ve never in my life been asked to sign a training agreement (never even heard of them, and they are definitely not “standard” in tech companies), but as you pointed out: the contract is there to prevent people from doing expensive training and then immediately job hopping, which would be a crappy thing to do. If you take the training and stay there for more than 3 months(?), 6 months(?) then you get training. And BTW you can’t complain about 2.) and 3.) in the same breath, or you’re contradicting yourself.
What? The contention is that jobs had booms and busts before HN. Starting off the low base of 2008, of course the graph shows growth. It does not show the 80s, 90s, or the dot com boom, or the dot com bust.

Exactly! That's what I dislike about popular approaches - they focus on direct translation from L1 to L2.

My Vocadapt takes a different approach. While reading, you simply mark unfamiliar words or collocations you encounter. Later, VocAdapt injects these same words/phrases into different contexts, allowing you to naturally deduce their meaning without translation.

What do you think about this approach? It seems to differ from what you're describing...
