Much of the cost of renting a car now is insurance. If the car can drive itself, it could be quite a bit cheaper.
the premise of your first statement is what's being discussed and challenged here. The problem is that Qualcomm contracts are lopsided in violation of FRAND -- in this case, Qualcomm not only refuses to license their patents, but, in Samsung's case, also dictates to whom Samsung can sell their products and where they can do business. This isn't clearly about reducing their royalty payment as Apple is doing.

You can change companies, and the hiring tech companies are willing to do the paper work. Small startups might not be willing due to $$$, but they won't pay well if they don't want to do that.
> Is this a good or a bad thing? it actually doesn't matter, because it is what it is. It is a social norm.

So basically "that's how we've always done things". That's a terrible justification for anything, particularly anything to do with sex and it's history of persecution. It wasn't long ago that being openly gay went against the social norms.

> Can it be changed? Sure, maybe.. But you will only present yourself poorly if you think that telling people their concerns don't matter, or are "bullshit" is the way to change this.

What concerns? I don't see anyone listing concerns or discussing the consequences of being more open about sex in the workplace, just a lot of statements that you can't or shouldn't do it.
Expanding free school breakfasts as well would really help some students whose parents tend to give them sugar cereals and too much fruit juice.
To me, the distributed version of this idea is the really exciting development here. With a decade it will be commonplace to have a totally automated bookshelf looking appliance that you do nothing more than put in your backyard, give soil+seeds+water to, and use as your own personal Grocery Store. And when it happens, we'll have companies like Farmbot.io and the other 3d printer folks like Adrian Bowyer to thank for it.
Though any carbon feedstock can address that. For a materials standpoint, there are substitutes.

Natural gas as feedstock to the Haber-Bosch process and coking coal in steel production, for reducing ore, are both much more formidable. They account for a large fraction the consumption of both (15% in the case of coal), and substitutes are difficult.

The story of where Earth's crustal iron comes from, when, and how, particularly as banded iron formations, is another interesting story.

That's a bunch of handwaving and "physics woo", not evidence. OK, you can make an argument for it, within at least some interpretations of QM. That doesn't mean the position is correct, though, and certainly doesn't mean that it deserves the degree of certainty with which you stated it.

I want to go to the bank, the post office, the home improvement store, a home decor store and the grocery store.

How many times am I stuck waiting for a car to arrive, and how many times do I need to make an unnecessary trip back home to unload my gear before getting back in yet another car?

Certainly there are times when I get into the car for one thing. But you know what? I walk outside and I start the car and drive off. I don't have to schedule anything or wait for anything.
It varies from area to area and case by case, ranging from servants who live in nearby shanty towns who are payed "technically livable wages"; To live-in servants who are paid what we would consider unfair wages, but compensated in food and board.

Even among the live-in servants there will be huge ranges in the fairness (or in this case, existence) of the wages they get, the amount of respect they are given, the quality of the food/board, the amount of free time they get, and the amount of rights they are allowed to express.

Horribly compelling story.

When Ulysses S Grants father-in-law died a few years before the civil war, he left them his slave. The Grants were dead broke, Ulysses had failed at farming and the slave was worth a lot of money, they could have worked him or sold him to make the their life instantly better. Instead Ulysses took him to the courthouse and made him a free man.

There can be bug in a microkernel service (and as it is distributed, it is actually guaranteed it will crash unexpectedly at some point)
Note - This is a modern tale, and the title is accurate. This isn't about unearthing stories from the 1800; this is by the son raised by the slave in question.

This was very much worth the read. It's touching and troubling and a human story.

ok, but nobody was arguing that they are data points?

The parent was literally saying that he wanted to convey a different story to the ones commonly heard, in order to give a more balanced picture. Nowhere does that suggest anything about data points, just people sharing stories with different view points.

It's good to have a reminder that "anecdata" != real data every now and then, but in cases where you have a poster clearly acknowledging all that, bringing this up seems like little more than an out of place trope.

A lot of people are only capable for extrapolating current trends indefinitely into the future. China has been growing, why won't it continue to grow forever?

I think the material point is that Rome wasn't built in a day. So why would any other city be built in a day?

I think it is unreasonable for people to expect a city to be built in a decade. Not only is that sort of building not sustainable, it also leads to flat out bad long term planning with respect to infrastructure and logistics.
And besides having no morals, you seem to think that China, an overindebted nation with massive pollution, no military prowess, no innovations, crashing economy, hostile neighbors, declining standing with Americans (remember that Trump was elected on China stealing jobs and destroying manufacturing), and its riches fleeing the country, will somehow waive all that problem away.

You're delusional
For one or two people, a car like an Elio would often be large enough, basically a motorized tricycle with a body. If you are renting the car on demand, you should be able to right-size it.
I'm apparently old enough (just 44) to remember this exact same narrative spoken about Japan, and then Korea. I just don't buy that $NEW_DEVELOPING_COUNTRY is going to eat the world, for all the reasons that it didn't happen before - as countries develop, it gets a lot harder to grow, and cheap labor stops being cheap.

China has a massive population climbing out of poverty in a single generation. For every steel worker who loses his job in the US, there are thousands of human beings going from subsistence life to one that you and I might merely consider unexciting. I think this is pretty healthy and I wouldn't call it a "negative effect of globalization" - sure, it's not a pareto improvement but it's clearly positive overall.
This is the YouTube channel of a South African vlogger who has been living in China for quite some time, I think most westerners have a pretty antiquated view of what life is really like in China.

When this story hit HN earlier today, I was taken aback by how so many of the responses basically were of the hand-clasping, oh-what-a-touching-story nature.

This is fucking slavery. There is nothing to admire. Treating slaves-in-all-but-name nicer after the fact does not make it any less repellent.

One human being owned another, and had final say regarding all aspects of their lives. It is abhorrent in all forms, and should called out as such. This isn't something that a sad-face emoji or hashtag campaign fixes, and isn't something that should wait until a more convenient time lest anyone be offended.

Jesus Christ, this may be one of the most vile things I've ever seen on HN.
I suspect GitLab's customer niche right now is teams that want private/on-prem source control but aren't willing to pay for GitHub enterprise. If that is in fact the case, I don't think it's surprising that they're lagging behind their competition on features and UX, since the cost-conscious customer doesn't value those things as much. (Or, more likely, the person holding the purse strings is not the one suffering from those deficiencies.)
the article raises a couple interesting points, but it utterly lacks a coherent argument (and basic editing). it starts with a tantalizing quote: "It enriches industrializing poor countries, impoverishes the semi-affluent majority in rich countries, and greatly adds to the incomes of the top 1 percent on both sides who are managing the arbitrage." and then goes on to blame globalization, as if it caused the greed that led us to the situation we're in. no, globalization was merely one of many convenient mechanisms to exploit. globalization is simply beside the point.

so why does it point the finger at globalization? just like immigration, attacking people in far-flung countries spares us a painful inward reckoning. our own greed let us overlook the looting of the middle class, in the secret hopes that we could each become part of the looting class. we let capital get a decisive leg up on labor, and its greed decimated our overall prosperity.

the genius of capitalism is that it channels greed for the greater good, but we forgot that it needs to be actively channeled and molded. let's institute laws that level the playing field and guard against economic looting so that we have a functioning middle class again.

Your whole post is disingenuous and full of logical fallacies.[1]

>Take a homeless person and let them sleep in your kitchen in exchange for mowing your lawn -> moral hero.

This is a flawed thesis if you're still trying to argue w.r.t. lordnacho's post.

>Take a homeless person

First off, there's no reason to believe that that person was or was not homeless prior to the situation. This is called an "Argument from ignorance"[2]

>let them sleep in your kitchen in exchange for mowing your lawn

This premise is really a False analogy[3], and explicitly ignores the other warning signs in his post that would indicate that this is not what the situation truly is.

Also, in most developed countries, there are very specific labor and tenant laws. "I'm letting him sleep on my couch if he mows my lawn once a week" is not a legal agreement. It is also not equivalent to "I have a live-in maid" - which also has a buttload of legal protections.

All of your other statements are riddled with half-truth bullshit and I'm not interested in explicitly explaining the rest to you. If you are, in fact, serious about being able to "rationality ground your morality" then I suggest you take a look at some of your statements and think about how grounded in reality they truly are.

I don't think people are arguing that it is bad this woman has shelter and a place to sleep.

I think people are arguing that the treatment of said woman, between the infantilizing phone call to wake her every morning to insist she doesn't "get too comfy", and her sleeping on the floor in a house that sounds like it had more rooms than people to live in them, is unnecessarily demeaning at best.

High contrast at short distances, indeed, is the problem for one of the above two points - sleeping on an open space on the floor when everyone else has their own bedroom and bed is at least one tier beyond "just" wanting to put yourself above those you employ to help in your home.

The other, though, is possibly the more damning to me - calling someone every day to insist they be awake at the same time even while you're out of town? At best, that sounds like an overly controlling homeowner trying to make sure the staff are keeping the house up, but that dynamic would usually imply (to my mind) a trusted person in charge of the staff in their absence, to contact, not the two persons combined in one.

The whole situation leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it implies that the people whose home this is do not think it necessary to treat this woman well, and that does not, in my experience, bode well for how they treat others whom they have no obligation to.

Truly remarkable story.

One thing that struck me is that Lola did so much of the work of a traditional mother's role: raising the kids, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and even providing emotional support. The mother had to take on a traditional father's role in bringing home an income. And the actual father - well, he did neither role and seemed to just freeload, gamble, abuse, and finally disappear.

All of the work in a traditional mother's role, well it's usually uncompensated too. Sure it's a "labor of love" but it's also just a huge amount of work, for decades. An argument could be made that the entire capitalist system is built upon uncompensated labor. Just ask your mom.
Indeed, grocery stores in NYC generally have terrible produce.

However most of the costs for urban farms have to do with replicating things that rural farms have for free. Instead of using the sun urban farms have to pay for electricity, lighting, wiring, etc.

* Sunlight: electricity costs and capital costs for lighting
* Water: even with an efficient hydroponic system city water is more expensive
* Growing medium: either dirt or a hydroponic system, which requires maintenance and a capital outlay
* the farm building itself: unlike fields, buildings cost money to build and maintain

An efficient urban farm could theoretically use land more efficiently (by growing more crops per square foot) and use less water, but those inputs are cheap. Transportation would also be less expensive.

Iowa farmland is less than $9,000/acre[0]: in Staten Island (the cheapest borough) land prices are $37.62/square foot[1] or $1.64 million/acre: so yields would need to be over 180x better to break even on the land alone!

Absent some huge breakthroughs on the pricing of all of the inputs (or astronomical increases in transportation costs) the economics for generally don't work for crops.

Blocking virtually all VPNs and VPS IP ranges is not the most pleasant practice. I realize this is likely a Hollywood demand, but absent any kind of other information from them, it sure appears that they are complicit in it.

Further, they make it essentially impossible to to create a local routing rule to bypass the VPN for them alone. You're stuck whitelisting the whole of AWS.

"I feel that's a common misconception"

I don't know. It would be interesting to know what the research says. I lived in poverty for much of my younger life and we wouldn't buy a lot of health foods because they were expensive. I remember fruits and meat were a rarety you got exited about. And I was lucky because my parents still tried to feed us healthily - we had a garden and chickens.

Its also probably true that you don't need as much variation and nutritionists say - you could probably live healthily off of potatoes and eggs.

I've also lived off of what you suggest and its not that pleasant. If you want fresh salads and vegetables the price starts going through the roof, so you're basically stuck with the cheapest canned/frozen stuff. Sure you can do it and I have but its not surprising people don't stick to it long when most of the tasty alternatives are either too expensive or just plain junk food.

Ah, I see where you're going wrong.

That paper is measuring parental income, but it's comparing e.g. a person who makes $30K against a person who makes $70K even if they both work the same number of hours. Obviously the second person will then be better off, because there is no opportunity cost for the extra money, even if they lose most of it to government and other costs. There is no additional transportation expense or childcare expense or anything like that, it's just comparing janitors with lawyers, and on top of that not even accounting for parents with marketable skills passing them on to their children.

And it's measuring averages against instances. There are people -- especially higher income people -- who don't lose as much of their additional income to costs. If you already make a lot your real marginal tax rate is lower because you already don't qualify for income-based assistance, and you would have bought a second car either way, you would have eaten in restaurants either way, etc. And at the other end, unemployed single parent or two unemployed parents vs. one parent with any job is going to be a huge difference.

But that isn't the question. It isn't that it never makes sense for both parents to take a job, it's a question of whether it ever makes sense for one parent not to. Because if it ever does, that affects the average.
Total content is likely closer to 100 PB. The "25% of consumer bandwidth" is a proxy for how heavily Netflix is used.

They run a 5000 node Cassandra cluster.

They can failover an entire datacenter in 27 minutes.
OK, so they didn't do the rat study where they only changed the carbonation (still vs carbonated water), but later it appears they did this for the human subjects and measured the hormone level. It would be interesting to see a study with only that one variable changed to see actual weight gain in animal and human populations.

Anecdotal, but I changed from carbonated soft drinks to carbonated water and noted a marked difference.
