Once someone can "own" the forest, that be a bit of a cheat around the whole idea. I'm thinking out loud here, but I think all of you're examples are actually valuing the financial mechanisms rather than the forest itself.

The carbon credits are given economic value, its just not a physical resource like lumber so its harder to distinguish that the credit holds the value rather than the forest.
I am stating the position that the ability for governments to block part of the Internet rather than it being all or nothing is a net negative for the world.
Totally a mischaracterization. On one hand an imperfect crisis response, on the other hand, a brazen, unforced error.
If they think that they can be as economically productive in a different country without American citizenship, then they should indeed do that.
How does that work with so many people being worse off? I.e. most of my friends can't afford a home, avoid going to the doctor, can barely make ends meet in dead end jobs, etc. Maybe, the measurements they are using for inflation aren't measuring the right things?

how about a far target of doing anything possible against China? Abandoning EU (thus pushing them to ramp up) and seemingly siding with Russia if needed.
An annual rise of 1.6% means income doubles ever 44 years.

Again: These number are already adjusted for inflation.
It's a good question. I suspect that some of these will remain empty for several months, at least.
That's just not true, Russia is short on tanks, Ukraine is reaching artillery parity, and Ukraine has a permenant manpower crisis whereas Russia has deep reserves it can pull from for training if given time. Western countries would stop aid flows to Ukraine during a ceasefire while Russia would be free to rearm. A temp. ceasefire would not help Ukraine.

Moreover, why would Ukraine want to negotiate a temp ceasefire? If they can snag security guarantees they have better odds of a long term peace.
>Ok but they’re creating a good product,

Debatable.

>in their “own” space, not bothering anyone, and they increase competition which benefits the entire ecosystem, so to be frank… who cares?

Sounds like White supremacy and Neo-Nazism. Why not say that about every other project that leftist enter and try to push their religious beliefs?

>Lix is a net win for everyone.

Most definitely not, fragmentation and religious proselytizing destroys projects.

>It would behoove us to stop taking pot shots at them

The truth shouldn't be hidden, regardless if they're "pot shots" or not.

>want nix to succeed, the presence of Lix is a net positive.

The Lix team are the ones that destroyed the nix community with their totalitarianism, leftist/woke ideology, and subversive actions. They are a net negative.

Well spoken. Creating space is a necessary first step.

One thing I disagree with personally is that being medication free is always a useful goal. I take medication and therapy and I see both as a way to _maintain_ a healthy mental state. Sometimes there is not going to be objectively less shit; you cannot always change external circumstances.
Without security guarantees against Putin, it is not a good deal. That was what Zelensky was there to secure.
My exact thought as well, simply point the user to a well established and proper channel for auto updates and then the dev simply needs to upload/release to said repos when a new version is put out. As an aside: Chocolatey is currently the only (stable/solid) way to consistently keep things up to date on the Win platform in my book.
this is cool, but holy crap that's a lot of work for a seemingly-simple type of feature!

European leader are desperate because they realize obvious truth - US will soon implement regime changes all across Europe... European elites are simply not up to task of dealing with this new revolutionary era.
The flip side to this is that if you come to depend on a companies AI, then if you leave or are let go, you are leaving a significant part of yourself behind that you cannot take with you.

This is a real problem companies need to address before I even begin to trust or rely on these tools. It's going to lead to massive growth of shadow IT.

Diabolical! But I think the occasional humans that I falsely identify as a bot will not appreciate this.
> I’d imagine my emails are stored somewhere too, as well as the notes I wrote via Google docs.

These aren't the same. It's been many years since I worked there, but it was well known that by default, email was automatically deleted after a while unless it was overridden for some reason (as sometimes is required for legal reasons). If you want to save something, Google Docs would be a better choice.

> I don’t know whether they do this or even what their policies are; I’m just trying to use my own experience in the corporate world to speculate on what I imagine will be a much bigger issue in the future.

Yeah, okay, but when speculating, you should probably assume that the legal issues around discovery and corporate record retention aren't going away. Logging everything just because it might be useful someday isn't too likely, particularly at a company that has been burned by this before.
There is one thing missing from this article.

Yes housing cost has many secondary effects, including the fertility crisis, it is in fact by far the main driving factor, all other are either downstream cultural adjustments (cope) or correlations (highly educated are attracted to large cities, where the housing cost is the highest)

But having said that, and looked at the financial and regulatory effects, the main driving factor is simply supply and demand, that is demographic density.

For most goods, when demand increases, supply will follow, but housing is a peculiar kind of good because value is following a power law around a few hundreds attractive centers, meaning that supply is highly constrained, at least given current transport technology and cities structures.

The solution is obvious: let the fertility crisis unfold, that will self correct the housing cost and the fertility crisis at the same time. But we'll have to build a different social redistribution system, we can't expect a pyramid scheme to work forever.

Classic Emacs syntax highlighting is based on regular expressions ("font-lock-mode"). Of course, the grammars of programming languages are usually not regular languages but higher up in the language class hierarchy (hi, C++!). But you can get a surprising amount of things right just through the context in which a token appears.

For instance, the example of this article (`type` as a keyword vs. `type` as a function) would probably have worked with font-lock-mode as well because you could distinguish the two cases from whether or not a left parenthesis follows the token. But, of course, without proper parsing, there's always the possibility of edge cases that you cannot resolve correctly.

The interesting cases arise anyway when whatever you have in your buffer does not adhere to the grammar, i.e. you have a syntax error: how does then your syntax highlighter cope with that?
Dunno exactly but there has been WW3 talk from the start. eg https://www.ukrainianworldcongress.org/world-war-iii-has-beg...

A bit overdone in my opinion.
You can tell Russia whatever you want, but you can't threaten the existence of the Russian state with American military might backed by the credible threat of nuclear weapons. That has a significant chance of provoking a nuclear Russian response.
USDS has been co-opted and they don't want competition. I would expect nothing less. 18F and USDS used to have some very smart, dedicated people, and it's sad to see these agencies go this way.
The VAST majority of developers I've encountered aren't interested in building sustainable codebases. Mainly that's because that's not what their bosses want so it's in their best interest not to care about it. I could see the same happening if the economist's bosses don't care about sustainable economies.
Quite the opposite. I've just come to the realization that discourse with individuals arguing in bad faith is more harmful to society than any fleeting chance I may have of convincing the individual their path is the wrong one.
It seems to be using the CPI. The basket of goods & services the CPI is referencing is determined by the extensive Consumer Expenditure Survey, and reflects to a fair degree the actual spending habits of Americans.

Obviously, if you give more weight to housing, you're going to get different results. But it would distort the actual change in expenditure.
Hi! Did you get good results? Is this dataset worth collecting?

> Why do you feel like you are more informed than them? Could it not be your bubble that you fail to see?

Because facts, opinions and slanted headlines and stories that support the prevalent bubble of one side are heavily featured. The facts that support or negate those barely even show up on the front page, and comments referencing those are usually downvoted or flagged. This happens with a lot of topics that don't fit the preferred narrative of the site.

I consume content mostly from the same bubble that is prevalent on HN, but I also look at the opposite side with an open mind while checking possible misinformation and my own biases, which appears to be sorely lacking with people.

> Gotta say, neither of these happen to me

Maybe it's because you're in the same prevelant bubble as most of HN is in? Try posting facts with good sources that don't support the narrative and see what happens.

That's hilarious. Many languages have a specific term for US private equity investors that rush in, buy up entire countries' corporations, then try to squeeze out every cent of profit.

Especially after the fall of the Berlin wall and the iron curtain this became a massive issue. See also https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuschreckendebatte

Every American - even the demographics that typically support Trump - has benefited from this.
It's simpler than that. Government just has to legalize building housing, and the people will make it happen.
it’s a great trick and even some schizophrenic people can use cameras to ground themselves. I trust the computer, and it will never lie to me.
They're career professionals and career professionals might be loyal to the state instead of the dear leader.
They didn't reliably side with Trump and Putin on all matters. The goal of the Trump administration is the destruction of the US government in order to dismantle it and offer it to billionaire buddies.

Government employees reliably wanted to serve the American people. Their non-partisanship is the entire problem. Please please stop being naive about Trump and thinking they or DOGE is doing anything above the board.

If you don't setup any access rules in Firebase, by default it'll deny access.

This means someone setup these rules improperly. Even if, you're responsible for the tools you use. We're a bunch of people getting paid 150k+ to type. It's not out of the question to read documentation and at a minimum understand how things work.

That said I don't completely disagree with you, if Firebase enables reckless behavior maybe it's not a good tool for production...

While OpenAI is certainly in trouble (zero Hinton students, partnership with Azure is straining, while Brin is back at Google!), its demise is still uncertain. They are still absolutely amazing lab, pushing both product and research. Execute. And make all these naysayers obsolete ;)
“Entrenched bureaucracy” == a government not run top-to-bottom by political loyalists, like every administration in the modern era has had to deal with?

We got rid of the spoils system because it fucking sucked.
I'm sorry but these are the word games that drive the right. In essence, no one gives a shit. You are only signaling to other liberals and accomplishing nothing. Why not focus on a fight that matters.
Open AI has a brand, it has talent, it has some really solid models, and it has the compute to serve inference at scale. They stand as good a chance of covering their inference costs as anyone else.

The compute for training is beginning to seem a poor investment since it is depreciating fast and isn't producing value in this case. That's a seriously big investment to make if it's not productive but since a lot of it actually belongs to Azure they could cut back here fast if they had to. I hope they won't because in the hands of good researchers there is still a real possibility that they'll use the compute to find some kind of technical innovation to give them a bigger edge.

Sure, but you are forgetting about compliance and adopting the same standards org wise across thousands of projects spanning hundreds of teams and jurisdictions, and separate industry standards across. Thats what adopting something like Auth0 is for.
“The people” (local voters in the places that have the lomits in place) are the ones who want rules against building housing, not some external-to-the-people government.

No. It decreased massively and then went up again so now we're back at where it was back in 1900.

This significantly challenges the
"if America’s rich families in 1900 had invested passively in the stockmarket"

e.g. the equivalent of S&P 500 if adjusted by inflation was in 1982 was well below it's 1929 peak. Almost all growth happened after that.

Certain industries now are at a point where they are paid a ton. Jobs like the trades, piloting boats or planes, that sort of thing. Your schedule might look a bit irregular, but the path to say a quarter a million a year is far more realistic today for someone who is a pilot vs someone who takes a white collar job.

That phenomenon was not always apparent. Growing up, I was told specifically to avoid those sorts of jobs and go for white collar, informed by a generation where those sorts of jobs were a lot more dangerous and less compensated. In some companies over the last century we went from say building floors of modestly paid draftsmen and a few highly paid white collar classes managing them to floors of modestly paid white collar people fiddling with excel and a few highly paid certified engineers doing the actual technical work. The dynamic has changed.

Yes, and rust belt cities have lots of infrastructure that could be reused. Jobs are probably a limiting factor. Less so with working remotely.
It absolutely blows my mind that people swallowed "AGI is just around the corner" hook, line and sinker. We don't understand human cognition despite literally thousands of years of thought and study, but some nerds with a thousand GPUs are going to make a machine think? Ridiculous. People were misled by graphs that they were told pointed to a singularity right around the corner, despite obvious errors in the extant systems.

Concentrated capital is truly a wild thing.
I have heard it said that landlords are willing to take losses on some properties (leaving them vacant) if it means they can continue to justify their other property valuations. If they drop rents, that lowers the valuation of that property - and others like it - which can have a cascading effect of their entire portfolio. Would love to be corrected here if someone has a more detailed understanding.

HN's approach to political stories has been stable for many years: most are off-topic, but some are ok; but only some.

'Stable' here means stable over time. The proportion of political stories goes through pretty big fluctuations (mostly in response to macro social events, e.g. elections), but HN's principles remain the same, and the swings eventually subside*.

If you (or anyone) want to read about what those principles are, I've posted about that many times. Here's one pointer into those explanations: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

* perhaps ironically, this 'stability' includes the phenomenon of users complaining that HN is turning too much into a political site. For a glimpse into how far back that goes, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17014869.

Hmm. GitHub being big enough gives some leverage for payment method fees? Seems a bit absurd that PayPal can take more than 10%.
"ever increasing" - no. People die, billionaires tend to stay that way for a few decades then die. In the grand scheme they are nothing, zero. Death aside, look at all the billionaires currently running to kiss the ring of Trump - a populist elected by the people of the US against the will of the so called elite. No one is in control, no one has very much power. It's a story book idea.

Firefox should make it clear that Firefox (browser) will not collect, transmit, nor sell user data beyond what is technically required for interaction between the browser and other computers over networks.

> He’s heavily invested in SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter.

You make it sound as though he put a lot of his own money (somehow obtained from elsewhere) into these companies.

But that's not true at all. It is correct English to say that he is "heavily invested" in these companies in the sense that his wealth is paper wealth based on the perceived value (stock price) of these companies.

But he is not invested in them the way that a typical person has their retirement funds invested in a company or mutual fund.
I’ll be honest, I think both sides are being manipulated in the sense that they each see the other as less over time.

On their whole I think Democratic policies retain more sense at this point but a lot of bullshit snuck into Democratic thinking. The intentions of that thinking were good but the result was obvious division.
Westing House and Hitachi to some degree, too.

Just because they have nuclear weapons doesn’t make them a reliable partner in global geopolitics. Trusting Russia in any sort of alliance is a foolish move if you’re familiar with history.
Bookstores and things are desirable to local residents but are less profitable than other prospective tenants once the area has high traffic. The bookstore can't afford the higher rent but a Starbucks or something can. The landlord is willing to take a short-term vacancy for a long-term higher paying tenant.

Therefore, if you want local bookstores you need enough supply of commercial real estate to keep the rents at a level the bookstore can afford, or they'll get replaced by chains.
You can't compare London from back then to London today though. In terms of its place among cities around the world, it's a different place now.

There certainly would have been locations where your dad would not have been able to afford property, and conversely there certainly are places where you can afford property.

And how long will that last when Trump messes with dollar as reserve currency?
Also the 'agent' features. Our company has been blocking all agent features from regular employee access because they don't want random users building their own automations. This kind of stuff requires care and an eye for regulations like GDPR.

To permit this as Microsoft wants would lead to a lot of shadow IT. Which will be really hard to get rid of. I compare it to lotus notes which beside being an email client was also a competent database. Over the decades we used it users built up a huge library of hobby tools, many of which wormed their way into critical business processes. Making it really difficult to move away to another solution because the people that knew how it worked were long gone.

I suspect this is exactly what Microsoft wants. Us being locked into copilot so they can charge ever more for it. This is kinda their business model anyway.

Under the hood it's really not that special, it's just ChatGPT. Some special sauce to make it talk to office 365 but that's about it.
Content marketing died already many years ago.
Does that dependency spark joy?
Fair call. So much of this stuff is simplified for us laypeople, but yeah - when you look up what so-and-so molecule does and find out how many different binding sites it interacts with as an agonist/antagonist/catlyst (and sometimes they've only measured interactions in rats) you realise there's a heck of a lot of stuff going on.

I also got slightly weirded out when I found out something I was taking interacted with the mu-opiod receptors even though it wasn't an opiate.
