Unfortunately, some of us consider listening to music to be a big part of who we are, and 10 songs a month is akin to suicide.

With newer labels, it's much easier to stream from bandcamp, etc. but with older music it can be hard to find what you want, in the quality and quantity you desire, while staying above piracy.

I find it very hard to tell a poor person that they do not get to listen to as much music as me, or of the same quality (streaming is still sub-320kbps) because they were not born into a richer family.
While I agree in principal, in practice this type of post gets far, far more attention. The more controversial / edgy you can be on social networks (and yes that even includes HN) the more hits and comments you can get.

The bad behavior gets reinforced and continues. Not sure what can be done to minimize it either.

I don't understand why this is so shocking or surprising.

If you're really hard up for space or money, resistance bands offer one of the best tradeoffs. The modular sets scale up to high weight and will last a while.

The issues that I think hit most people are not really with equipment, though, but time/motivation/energy. For that, it takes ordinary habit forming and logging progress.
My not particularly informed view is it wouldn't be great. Overfitting would be the biggest problem, as well as the fact that people design trading software specifically to exploit other trading bots these days.

On the plus side, less human input in trading software may greatly reduce human biases which make us suck at trading.

What do you mean? The government creates money all the time. They love it -- they get to spend money without raising taxes. The only downside at all is that in the extreme it causes too much inflation.

If we made it harder for banks to make loans but then created correspondingly more money and used it to lower taxes on people so they would have more money and not need to borrow as much, what economic difference do you see other than interest not being paid to banks?

It may be easier to imagine if you think of the government as a bank that makes interest-only loans at 0% interest.

> This would cause massive devaluation of currency.

Bank lending already does that. Look at housing and education prices (where the inflationary effect of lending is strongest), or even the general value of the dollar over time. The dollar has lost more than 90% of its value since 1950 and far more of the increase in the money supply has been due to banks than the government.

$1 in new loans and $1 in government-created money cause the same amount of inflation. If you replaced one with the other the only difference would be that no interest would be paid to the bank.
There are no prices listed -> they are targeting big enterprises, right?
Each person chooses the person they give their dollar to independently.

Most Chrome extensions need to interact with content, so if you want to do that you have to run code inside the content context. Adblockers can intercept any requests you make, even if it's to extension content (i.e. not over the internet, not to an ad/tracking server). This goes so far that they will silently block attempts to open a popup window (in this case, in a click handler to open extension-specific UI for the user.)

The content was under chrome-extension:// and was just an html file. Incidentally I use ublock. I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot this if it's possible to fix the issue.

> Both of them are engaged in minimizing the amount of exercise they do to get the greatest benefit.

Absolutely! I can only go full effort lifting for maybe 45 minutes. After that I'm just going through the motions.

Another thing to remember is that gains do not come while you're in the gym. The gains happen during the rest periods between workouts, so resting is just as important as the workout.

I've always wondered whether attachment style is not so much a function of the individual, but a function of the interaction between two individuals, where each party plays a role. I can think of many people that I am "secure" with, and others who I am "avoidant" with.
I think timing is something you can actually reason about though?

"Lots of people have tried a similar thing before, what's different this time?"

Maybe it's that now there's millions more mobile users. Maybe there's a new regulation that got removed/got put in place. Maybe any of a hundred other things. But timing goes to an actual underlying reason.

I'm kind of pushing this point as it's something I've screwed up a number of times. I'd write off some startup as doomed while really the problem was that I wasn't considering everything.

My very first job I noticed a similar phenomenon with drinking coffee. I didn't smoke but also didn't drink coffee. I just didn't like the taste.

I started drinking coffee so I could make that type of small talk with a common interest that's mostly harmless and had broader appeal. It's crazy that if you weren't a smoker or coffee drinker you missed out on a lot of interesting rumors and tiny bits of institutional knowledge.

Even in consulting I make sure to hit up the (coffee) watering hole at the client just to see people I don't see often. Instead of just getting water I find the time it takes to do things like mix creamer and sugar give me time to strike up a decent conversation with someone.

The capital costs for setting up scrubbing CO2 from a natural gas plant may be similar to coal but you get about twice as much energy per amount of CO2 from natural gas as you do from coal. Sequestering 1/2 the amount of carbon should cost quite a bit less in energy and dollars. Reducing the amount of CO2 release into the atmosphere definitely should be a high priority and a carbon dioxide release tax is probably the best way to do that.

Another thing about natural gas that makes it better than coal is that the hydrogen in natural gas reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to form water. This actually reduces the total amount of the atmospheric gas and therefor reduces the greenhouse effect. I have yet to find a scientific paper that describes the magnitude of this effect and I haven't found where this phenomenon is taken into account in climate models. Most people don't realize that the pressure of the atmosphere at the surface is a more important factor for "greenhouse effect" heating than its composition. The surface of Venus is so hot not mostly because of the high % of CO2 in the atmosphere but the surface pressure is 93 bar as compared to Earth's 1 bar.

"Travelling frequently in Europe, I’ve had the chance to use two approaches to the underground/metro/subway, the Paris Metro and the U-bahn in various German cities."

The author failed to understand the actual cultural issue driving the two approaches: In Germany you don't need a gate to have people pay the ticket, most people will do it anyway. In Paris, most people won't pay and just ride for free, and tragedy of the commons ensues.

So by his own argument, DRM is a product of the culture of a people.

"Dollar studies" is perhaps the second bullshitest part of psychology after "infant-looking-times studies".

Artificial cartoon-like setups and biased interpretations cannot be considered scientific or even accurate.

Babies are merely confused and overwhelmed, dollar studies are over-simplified and sterile and does not take complex emotional and hormonal patterns (which are much more powerful than rationality biological driving forces in real life) into account.

Snap-judgements, jumping to conclusions, escaping from emotional pressure and reduction of cognitive load is what derives people's behavior. Any sales or ad professional would confirm this.

Don't bother. You aren't going to enjoy yourself as much long term by surrounding yourself with high-ego people; there'll be too much needless conflict and it won't be worth the emotional effort after the fact.

Instead, go for high energy but less ego. At the start deflate your own for their benefit, let your guard down; essentially "putting yourself out". Come down to their level for the first few outings.

Once you have their trust you can back off (slowly) so you don't seem fake or patronizing; if they say something or notice a change in their behavior be honest with them: explain how it's been difficult to make friends with shared interests. Hopefully they will trust you enough to look past any perceived slight and continue the friendship.

You may still need to be conscious of your ego or energy level if there's a big group disparity, you don't want to be singled out because they perceive you as difficult and them have the rest bond over that.
Depends on what kind of programming or reading. Writing out boilerplate code or just skimming text don't seem to require much brain power. Neither does a task which one is so used to that it becomes "effortless".

How much time (hours per week) are you spending with female friends, especially one-on-one? And do they have other strong friendships? And are they getting their romantic/sexual needs met elsewhere?
For the sake of argument, I can think of a few reasons. One may believe that everyone in a common society is interconnected, so there is no such thing that only affects you. Another reason is that humans are such mimics of each other, that anything you do is likely to make it more likely other people do it. (See suicide rate studies that compare it to media coverage of events.)

People are busybodies and like to exert control over each other. It's a power trip.

Copyright isn't a right. Intellectual property is neither intellectual nor is it property.

The only point I concede is nobody should have the right to sell or distribute counterfeit, tampered, malicious items (such as Microsoft Windows) as authentic, genuine, and untampered. We don't need intellectual property for that. We have existing laws outside of intellectual property that covers this use case.

I know this can't happen overnight but our goal should be the end of this madness.
