I agree. If we can’t collectively fix our planet we’ve destroyed, our natural birth rate declines seem to be a natural response to overgrowth. Seems like a healthy mechanism at least.

Love this too!

Wyze Smart Deadbolt. $79, secure, and convenient. You never have to worry about losing a key again. I live in a cold area and it works reliably. The auto lock is so nice so you don’t worry about if you locked the door. Also great to allow guests or contractors in if you can’t go home to let them in. Makes my life so amazing.

Yeah, smart locks are nice. I have Nuki 2 and am equally happy. Even though it disconnects from the wifi, get huge latency on notifications and battery lasts only 2 months at most, the autolock and opening door with fingerprint is total addiction and works flawlessly. If all other features worked as promoted for that price, I would buy it for all the doors. A friend of mine wasn't so lucky, his Nuki blocks constantly and drains battery after a couple of days...

I was always behind an open door during the day until I bought Nuki. Now I am always locked and surprisingly, after only 6mo of usage I am very uncomfortable when autolock is not enabled.

Not needing a key but still having a backup in case it stops working is awesome.

It is expensive though, Nuki without fingerprint reader and dor sensor is less than $200 but with everything price is around $450

A degree is just a filter. If you get 200 applications for a job listing, you are going to prioritize those with relevant degrees.

A huge number of jobs have no relevant degree. What's the degree for being a management consultant? Or a pharma sales person?

The number of jobs that are just "general business role" is enormous.

A college degree is a filter that someone is reasonably diligent, socialized to some level, and compliant enough to play the game. Most employers don’t want some self-taught “I learned the same stuff for $1.50 in late charges at the library” type. If only 1/3 of people attend college, and 1/3 have a high GPA, employers get a filter for the top 11% of compliance & diligence without much effort.

To add, I'm pretty sure ransomware groups provide tips on how to beef up security and how they got hacked in the first place.

Like dentistry, you can pay a little upfront for a better toothbrush or you can pay the dentist way more to repair your teeth later on.

Yes I agree. It's difficult to switch to a new code base (government) because the legacy system (current government) also has authority (most citizens recognize government with the most enforcement), incentive (lawmakers want to keep their power), and power (military) to keep itself there indefinitely.

I wasn’t able to find another post on HN regarding their announcement

Oops I never saw another post on the YC forum regarding this

This isn't just a deli. This is a financial engineering firm.

You sound like you work for Stratton Oakmont.

Fine! I'll take you off my list of successful people today! - Seth Davis, Boiler Room

It sounds like the owners of this Deli did!

Yes Amazon is one of those institutions that you only see once in a lifetime. While they have had faults, they've always 'relentlessly' worked to improve. There is no doubt that Amazon may succumb to the same late-stage effects that have decayed those mentioned organizations.
