I have seen projects where devs are completely behind a wall, and that's fine, but I don't understand make something for people to use, free of charge, get angry at when lots of people use it and have questions about using it.
However, a lot of open source projects are, frankly, extremely rude to users. Instead of some copy-paste "kindly please direct your question to this resource over here" the users get "GET THE @#%% OUT OF HERE STUPID N00b" and this is from people directly with the project (e.g., domain email address).
If you think this doesn't impact your donations and recognition, please rethink that a little bit further.
What conspiracy is promoted in the video?
Influential because he ran Microsoft.
Does this mean I should accept the solution to all ills is a massive tracking apparatus forced on me through governments because Bill Gates says so? Or even that I should accept the vaccines paid for by government manufactured by Bill Gates under a system where he has no product liability?
Don't these seem like reasonable questions?
The fallacy of appeal to false authority is applicable here.
There are notable strange things around Gates. He doesn't promote things like clean water or refrigeration, which has long been among the very biggest problems in Africa (aside from horrifying levels of corruption). For the current crisis, he doesn't promote living a healthy lifestyle. The clip of the creepy conclusion of Melinda Gates and the reporter that the obvious problem in Africa is too many children. Somehow the only feasible technology to solve all mankind's greatest problems (like too many children) is a massive tracking apparatus. His being presented on every media outlet as an authority on anything without a single question as to why he is such an authority.
At the very least, label a post that has js so I don't click it, if you are going to require the site to function with js.
Is it really necessary that every link opens in a new tab?
How much do you hate me if I spoof email addresses?
Is the source published anywhere?
I noticed a minor typo in the header:
8 <meta name="author" content="Podesta Pizzeria, LLC
9 ">Also extremely minor to the point of being negligible, I notice in Firefox on a 1200 pixel monitor the bottom row displayed is 30 and I roughly cut in half while standard (actual) HN row 30 is about 2 pixels above the bottom.
Is there a discussion page demo, but with actual discussion?
People in occupations that could work remotely have not been looking for remote work positions.
Increase in demand for remote workers will not increase price paid to remote workers.
For example, I submitted Pizza Hut's archived original web page [1], but it wasn't added.
Even for a search engine exposing niches, updating a directory manually will likely be too slow, unless the directory is maintaining a single nich (e.g., unladen airspeed of every species of swallow), but then we end up with some insane number of search engines and how to select which one?
If you are an adult, showing your naked body to a minor is considered in most western societies to be immoral.
> I think in 99% of cases it's just a feeling - that the decline should have been bigger given how bad the economic impact seem.
As you are suggesting, prices are simply what they are, whether or not someone views them as being "too high" or "too low" the only Goldilocks price is the one you agree to.
However, the markets can be distorted. The Federal Reserve, through policies such as lowering interest rates to zero, eliminating reserve requirements, and announcing purchases of corporate debt, has all but published "we will not let the stock market crash under any economic circumstance" as their official policy.
I'll bite.
So, I find the Austrian school Economists best at explaining the impact the Federal Reserve has on markets. I consider several individuals who claim to be from that school to be my preferred experts when I want to understand what is happening with the Federal Reserve.
However, I would not proclaim these experts to be the "country's top Federal Reserve experts" simply because there can be no authoritative source for this claim as there are other experts in the field with very different (and equally well supported) positions on Federal Reserve activity.
I see this with nearly every mention of Fauci. In my experience, there is never a "top" expert for a broad topic such as "infection disease".
And, obviously, a lot of those kids are older and still engaging the same juvenile behaviors.
These seem to be people who were already known personalities.
OnlyFans massive creator growth is likely largely going to be from "normies".
> I can completely agree with this if Boeing is nationalized. While it's not, if they receive FED money, they would just use it to keep operating, come back to profits in a few years and distribute dividends then. This is a capitalist behavior.
> I wouldn't generalize the fact that financial issues can't impact engineering decisions because I've seen that happening in the past. In the case of the 737 Max is evident: they adapted the 737 with a new engine that was too big and because there was no space to put it, they placed it in an odd position and compensated with Software that was operating silently. They did this to avoid developing a new plane, which would cost them time and money.
Agreeing that the Federal Reserve system is anti-capitalistic but things under it are capitalistic is a nonsensical argument. You seem to be applying "capitalism" to anything you don't like. This is poor argumentation and makes for very poor discussion.
Every engineering project has some sort of budgetary constraints, no matter the source of the funding. Even under ideal conditions, poor engineering decisions have been made. Attempting to just blame everything on a singular cause that you happen to not like does not result the important critical thinking required to uncover and correct actual causes of actual problems.
I wish there were one for 70s/80s album art, but last time I looked at these projects they are still out of reach for hobbyists. I could stare at those all day.
> It’s like saying a farmer is wealthy because he owns a tractor and a plot of land. Absolutely asinine.
These are all assets that can be liquidated for something. The renters have no such assets.
The landlords are just as capable of going and getting a job as anyone. Most landlords are not employed full time simply because there isn't enough work to be done as a landlord to justify 40 hours of labor every week, at least until a substantial number of units are being rented out. The income the landlord receives is typically declared after all costs of ownership, which include any mortgages. So, the work of the landlord results in a greater share of their asset ("equity").
The jobs their tenants have likely do nothing to increase the value or share in an asset.
> This comment represents, unfortunately, what's wrong with capitalism and, at the same time, what makes it work. Bankruptcy is used by companies to get rid of debt and refocus their business, which is good. In the case of Boeing, an eventual bankruptcy comes as a consequence of a decade of buybacks to fill investor targets and lousy engineering in the case of the 737 Max. But hey, with infinite FED money, Boeing is not going down that easily.
The Federal Reserve system is anti-capitalistic because it removes choice and agency from the market, which are critical components of capitalism.
Bankruptcy is also used by creditors to take possession of the assets of bad borrowers, which typically is not to the benefit of the borrowers.
Financing issues rarely impact engineering decisions. If there is something outside of Boeing influencing this, the more likely culprit is regulatory capture effectively blocking innovators from entering the market.
