I'm saying crypto should be held to a higher level of scrutiny by everyone, and if you are the president of a country you should not involve yourself in crypto without thinking it through a bit. You might disqualify yourself for runnin

Thank you, exactly. Anyone who isn't holding crypto to a higher standard cannot pretend they are well versed in economics.

I do have to admit more and more Friedman seems like he is more intent on building his subscriber count than actually asking tough questions. I can't say I feel like his fact checking is worth anything if it ever was. I should have kno

I really appreciate your comment. I'm being totally sincere. I did see the news reports about him with a chainsaw. He seemed like a nut when I saw that. And I then watched the Lex Friedman interview and read the profile in the New York

Sorry, when you are the president you don't get that leeway to make mistakes and then correct them by saying "sorry, my bad!" No way. If I'm just a blogger on Twitter, then sure. It is hard to tell whether the US preside

You are right, I assumed he was principled and dedicated to the good of the country above all else. Should I reconsider that? Like I said, I read positive things about him and thought was a sincere person. If you have something else I shoul

In all honesty, I've read a bunch of positive articles about Millei, and watched the Friedman interview with him. He has multiple economics degrees and really seems to understand economics in a way that Trump does not, IMHO. And, so th

Ok, I'm glad you mentioned that you have used it in the past. I have not, have only done RN and plain Android using java and kotlin. Your comments are spot on. Thank you.

I agree about RN. But not about flutter. I just used aider to code a brand new flutter app from scratch. It has Google login. And a webview on a second screen. It looks gorgeous and is performant. And deploying it to my android device from

Lots of threads lately about power utilities making bad decisions and barriers to starting public utilities, indirectly which can lead to fires and home loss. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42971311 https:/&#x2F

I do think you make valid points and I'm wrong about the way I categorized them. And, I did put public in quotes because these utilities, while privately owned, do benefit from regulatory capture that seems out of place with a privatel

I'm glad you stated that. It certainly wasn't my takeaway of the way they handled it, however. By my reading it seems like the local officials begged them to turn off the lines when they saw what was coming. And, that the executiv

You are right. I'm confusing State Farm with Allstate, via McKinsey (I'm reading the book "When McKinsey comes to town"). Berkshire Hathaway owns Geico and has taken a similar path, however. But, this Oregon utility has

These formerly "public utilities" are now often owned by PE or Berkshire Hathaway. Whenever I see the folky wisdom of Charlie Munger or Warren Buffer posted on HN, I can't help but think about their firm's work in transf

It's so great how he has created enormous success for himself on substack. Everyone always says jazz is dead and there is no audience; his writing proves the naysayers are wrong.

Not a surprise that this comes from at least one person involved in dabbledb twenty years ago (later acquired by Twitter). Avi Bryant, now sponsoring very interesting work.

(See my comment about using RSS in another thread...) I think filtering by HN front page, and then filtering out the items you want in an RSS feed is a good combination that makes it easier to filter out the noise.

I'm trying to do less browsing and more intentional reading. RSS works great for this. There is a bit of overwhelm for me in filtering out the right things in a RSS feed. But, generally the work is filtering out posts I don't want

The problems aren't with React itself. The problems are external to React. But, that's a huge problem. You need to use a separate library for CSS with React. Svelte has the best way to deal with CSS built in. Which CSS library do
