For those old enough to remember, it's exactly the reason why Google took Yahoo's place back when.

Many of the workers in these factory jobs decided it was a good point to retire, decided it was more worth it to stay home with their kids, found a calling in a different career, went back to school, etc. This all had had ripple effects throughout the supply chain, making for less goods available. Combine that with low unemployment, hence many folks competing for those goods, and it's easy to see why we are where we are.

Folks feast like kings when the cheap money is flowing, failing to realize that eventually the tab comes due.

It's what you're seeing happening in Silicon Valley right now.

Usually a reality check occurs every decade or so, bringing heads back down to Earth, but I think too many felt that the COVID lockdown lows in the markets were that reset. They then went right back to their old habits, after a brief pause.

Just thinking about how long it took to recover from 2000, 2008, etc., it's obvious that we didn't truly have that reset.

The lockdowns fundamentally changed a lot, but few people seem to want to acknowledge it. The effects of the lockdowns will been seen for a long time, I honestly do believe.

Just my take on it all.

I think the current situation makes a convenient argument for a class war running amok.

I think fewer folks are willing to talk about what lockdowns did to the supply chain.

That's because people are still not shedding the mentality of hoping to get top dollar. The market is going back in the buyer's direction. You need to be looking at recent comparable sales and pricing at or below surrounding current inventory if you want to move it quick. The mania did a number on people's perception of how the housing market should work. It will pick back up just as soon as the Fed officially backs off on rate increases, or even makes a slight cut, likely soon here.

Inventory is still below demand in most places. People are just freaking out because the mania has subsided. I'd call this current market about normal.

This is one of the first posts in a year to trend in the HN Top 10 for popularity.

I think it's 100% safe to say OpenAI has a hit on their hands.

Does Docker reserve the namespace of deleted accounts/orgs?

EDIT: I seem to have answered my own question... https://forums.docker.com/t/how-can-i-delete-old-previous-ac...

This issue bit me on Gmail.

I feel like once you have registered a namespace you should always be able to reclaim it using the same communication medium in use when it was active.

Maybe I'm not thinking deep enough on the issue though?

He gives the best breakdown on things. I saw he referenced his older article, which I commented on one of the bank failure posts on HN.

The worst is when DownDetector goes down though...

Checkout Hilton Head Island, if you haven't already. It's pricey, but very nice. I've also heard the praises sung about Edisto and Jekyll too.

Xbox Game Pass is close to that.

I think part of the problem is the game studios and publishers have enjoyed immense profits, that have continued to grow. Nintendo just upped their base price to $70. I don't think they will let that level of profit go easily.

It can be quite lonely and frustrating having any centrist views, for many of the reasons you mention. Many assumptions made merely on the basis of hearing but one view. The hive mentality is two sides of the same coin, but I don't think anyone is incentivized to change it.

The shades of gray are blacks and whites living in unison in many rural parts of the south in the time period in which these pictures were set. They lived together in poverty in many of these rural areas.

The historian I spoke of mentioned this. He could back it up with pictures of them co-mingling extensively.

Is it to say no racism existed in that time period? Hardly. But far too often I've seen it painted that the south is deeply racist to this day. Generally I only tend to hear it from people who have never been. I say this as someone originally from the north.

I think many people would be surprised by how many people lived this way into the late 90s.

Even now, venture to mountainous regions of West Virginia and you can still find households without electricity or running water.

I think in this modern times people assume all such folks want those amenities, but are too poor to afford them, when really some of them couldn't be any happier to live as they do.

I think this discussion is a losing discussion, as history is recast as being strictly only one way. I could speak of the stories I heard on Thursday from a historian down here, but people would instantly discount it. It very much reflects our current times, where all is seen as either white or black, but nothing seen as a shade of gray. Polarization has benefitted no side, in any debate.

I could very well see that being the case. I could see it being somewhat of a reminant of their old start-up days.

I was just surprised crypto hasn't caused more carnage in the banks. SBF had more or less made that small bank his and was pumping massive amounts through it. I feel like that couldn't have been the only bank tied up with crypto.

Isn't this the regular story of Google though?

"Let me give a half effort on X product. Oh, see, nobody likes it. Well, guess I'll go ahead and shutter it."

It's a shame that products with so much potential have all the resources put into them wasted with their behavior.

"Cloud gaming is the next big thing." --Links to Stadia shutdown notice

OP, I appreciated that bit

I'm surprised the top comment wasn't focusing on this bit of the statement:

"We are also announcing a similar systemic risk exception for Signature Bank, New York, New York, which was closed today by its state chartering authority."

I should add: apart from 2008, bank failure has historically been quite rare

Call me crazy, but for a problem folks seem to imply has had everything, including the the kitchen sink thrown at it... why do I have yet to see a single email that has the unsubscribe button at the very top, front and center, the absolute first thing I see?

Indian culture is vastly different from American. I actually kind of envy it, as it seems to have much of what America is lacking. A friendship with Indians has a strength it's almost hard to comprehend as an American. Once you are welcomed into their community you truly become a part of it. For me a big bonus is they always want to make sure you're well fed.

I don't think the Boomer generation led Millennials to turn out too poorly, short of perhaps failing to teach them parenting skills (which we see in some of the problems Zoomers are now having).

Many of the Boomers are still together, despite the social stigma of divorce being gone.

I would agree it is a different world, but I also think the stigmas of divorce back when forced many of the Boomers to work together to overcome their differences, similar to how arranged marriages work out.

Arranged marriages actually tend to work out quite well in India. People might be quick to say it's because they're forced into it, but studies have actually said otherwise. It forces a couple to actually learn to work together, rather than being immediately blinded by love, then the flame quickly dying.

I don't think the issues in modern relationships are isolated to only one sex, it's both that have some soul searching to do if they wish to "have the kind of relationship their parents had."

Remember the site "Hot or Not," and how everyone labeled it so shallow? Then Tinder came along and suddenly it was okay to quick reduce somebody to only their appearances. I think that's the real problem with dating apps: it makes it too easy to focus on superficial things, and less on things that truly matter in a relationship.

I think it's a fairly Bay Area-heavy term, as many startups prefer to pay out in equity over cash. I read an article about the site called Blind, where it is not uncommon to demand "TC or GTFO," or something to that effect.
