Well they didn’t wear masks and grab people off the street and shoved them into unmarked vans under previous administrations.

Maybe I’m missing something, but why can’t it be true? If I’m a PhD deciding what to do with the next few years of my life, the fact that government jobs currently seem very unstable might make PhDs hesitant to choose this path. There’s pro

I find this comment baffling. Apple needs a new CEO because their products come in lots of colors? And they have (gasps) two series of laptop chips?

I like what you’re saying but if I had changed jobs every time my employer set $10k on fire, I guess I would have pretty long resume.

Well, those numbers economists are working to make bigger are often things that help the average citizen, like the median household income income, the median life expectancy, or the literacy rate. Sometimes economists are studying how to ma

There is basically no overlap between the things that economists generally say are good (free trade, carbon taxes, cap-and-trade, immigration, land value taxes, organ trade, congestion pricing, etc…) and the things that populists of either

Wasn’t Cathedral and the Bazaar originally published in 1999? Who was paying thousands of dollars a year for an OS in 199? And I think GCC was already widespread by then, no? I didn’t start programming until a few years later, but for sure

Want to be more specific about your argument? I’d consider a government good if it is serves the people of that country. “Iran murders and tortures it citizens by the thousands, and impoverishes them by the millions through widespread corru

Yes, the US is not the center of the universe and there’s lots of room for different perspectives, but there is nothing good that can be said about the regime in Iran. China, for sure there a lot of good that can be said about the Chinese g

Uh have you met Republicans? Anyone not fully onboard that had even half a spine retired or got voted out. The rest either love it or just fall in line so they can collect paychecks.

I think it is true that many policies of this administration are only supported by a small minority of Americans and this doesn't seem at all strange to me. The US is (with various state and local exceptions) a first-past-the-post demo

Houses are expensive because supply is constrained. This new rule would do nothing to increase the housing supply. In fact, quite possibly it could do the opposite because we’re softening the demand signal.

Well if the government raises more revenue from tolls, they can raise less from other regressive taxes or just redistribute that revenue to lower income brackets. During covid the IRS sent everyone a check. No reason this also can't wo

But has there ever been communist societies that achieved equality of outcomes? The levels of inequity in the USSR were staggering. Likewise in China.

What existing regulation are you accusing the FTC of not enforcing? Is it illegal for a rich person to buy a company? It's not like he's cornering TV news or something. He's a minority player by any measurement (revenue, view

Sorry what regulation in particular are you thinking about here? There’s no logical anti-trust angle I can think of. I mean of course I think the outcome here is bad, but I’m struggling to think of a kind of regulation that could have preve

Polls would be just as inconsistent as the comments. Individual contributors would be consistent, but different polls would select for different contributors.

Ok, but can you give me an example of even ONE specific commenter who has made inconsistent comments on this topic in different threads? “HN” is lots of different people with lots of different opinions. Different threads select for differen

I see similar dynamic (though not as extreme) with many public sector unions. For example, the pensions for public sector in Illinois are crazy generous. People can retire at 55 or 60 (with enough years of service), and get 85% of their fin

Any tips on "destroying" my local police union?

I’m fine with the right to collectively act and bargain in some abstract sense. In practice, I observed that police unions, for example, seem to be too effective at protecting their members’ interests at the expensive of the public’s. They

So what? Mandate that AI can’t be used to do jobs? That will increase the cost of everything (relative to the world where we are allowed to use AI) and that cost will be bore by everyone in society. Compare with something like unemployment

I don't think technology is a linear progression towards more and more capital intense businesses. Software businesses in the 2000-2020 era were famously capital light. Much more so than the technology businesses that came before them.

I do think RSC and server side rendering in general was over adopted. Have a Landing/marketing page? Then, yes, by all means render on the server (or better yet statically render to html files) so you squeeze every last millisecond you

I feel like most things I use existed 5 years ago, but now they are just better versions of what they were 5 years ago. TypeScript, Rust, JetBrains IDEs, Firefox, Slack, iTerm2, Sublime Text, Apple iMessages.
