I agree, but the current political climate has made consensus appear as weakness.

That’s a practical way of looking at things that works well until it doesn’t. And it doesn’t work more frequently than we imagine. People ask me what I do and I say I’m a product manager. This is an immediate perception - it says so on my b

Please read the article. It isn’t a call for a government takeover of the internet.

Please read the entire article before assuming that this is a call for a state takeover of the internet.

As a product manager I appreciate this take. Lots of bureaucracy is caused by a few base requirements for compliance/governance required by laws or customer need. It’s a huge time suck for PM and engineering, but I don’t know if this i

What about a transpiler that added a ^ operator that made a variable actually an Arc and inserted unwraps, clones, etc as necessary?

Get some new IRL relationships. I find volunteering for a cause an amazing way to make new friends. Source: I am in a tech-oriented urban environment and I know nobody who is into crypto.

My interpretation of the comment was that tons of business are just clumped into the “lifestyle” category just because they don’t aim to maximize valuation.

I agree quantitive easing is problematic. Also agree that production isn’t zero-sum. But those with capital can extract value from production through investments, making capital accrual a compounding advantage.

To be clear, I’m not defending the study, but rather the notion that the situation is zero-sum. > I don't know what "the wealthy have [...] advantages that make the system far from zero-sum" I list examples of two positive

Sure. I’m not going to defend the study. My critique was aimed at the idea that the concept of a non-zero sum situation didn’t exist.

In an imaginary situation where the total money supply is distributed (unevenly) across all citizens, then yes, the situation is technically zero-sum. But that’s not really how things work. Between investments, purchasing power, ability to

I use computers for media production, Chrome, and VS Code. Considering macOS is a Unix with a UX that is more or less targeted to creative types, it means that I don’t have to do anything other than installing a few apps and homebrew to ge

This solves part of the problem, but not the whole problem. An important aspect of any general identity system is the ability to associate an ID with a specific human for cases where you need to hold the human accountable. DNS relies on ban

The Oracle problem is defined as the inability for blockchain solutions to validate their data with the real world. In this case it’s that any specific ID is actually a singular human, and not a bot, sock puppet, etc. Note this means any on

A proper identity solution is impossible. I see three requirements: 1. Uniqueness: Exactly one ID assigned to each human 2. Irrevocability: nobody may invalidate the ID except it’s owner in the case of replacement 3. Anonymity: The owner of

I’ve been hearing the term “low intervention” recently… not sure if that’s better or worse.

I had a similar reaction. As luxury goods go, their quote of ~$30 per bottle natural wine isn’t all that expensive. But then I read: > The trend is now in full swing worldwide, and in my area, you can order a “natty” at most good small b

This is such a great idea. My only feedback is to try and add non-technical stuff too. How are you collecting sites to include in this?

I think the game dev community would value this. Could be as simple as an HN clone with images…

I wonder if some combination solar and mechanical storage, e.g. pumped storage hydropower could be engineered to outperform nuclear. PSH is pretty inefficient, but solar is getting cheaper and cheaper…

There are several studies that show that a significant portion of Americans hold a more conflicted view of driving than you believe here. A quick search gives me [0] which is cited by a ton of follow-up research. While I think this is a soc

To summarize my post, _urban_ residents would likely prefer not to have cars. Someone in an earlier thread also made a good point that I should have written “high density urban”. Some people want cars. Some people like cars. But everyone is

Are you critiquing the luxury goods market or am I missing something?
