Paid services diminish circulation / market / network size. For mass consumer products, advertisers seek higher readership. That's a conflict which dates to the Penny Press of the 1830s.

That's a strange comparison. Nearly every doctor in existence recommends exercise for a wide variety of reasons. How many recommend homeopathy? It's more than a little surprising to me to see several people in this thread who are explicitly skeptical about the value and potential effects of exercise.

I just think it would be unfair for someone to read these comments and then think, "ah, see, there is no reason I should try regularly exercising," and give up before they have started. Do you think that is a good outcome? Even you said you are a proponent of exercise.

Nope. Let me explain :)

Consuming (i.e., food, clothing,fuel,etc.) is the "energy" that drives The Matrix. Humans are mere consumers. That's how they're refered to. That's how we refer to ourselves.

The fact that we're choosing ro over-consume to the point of killing ourselves and killing to planet is about as dystopian as it gets.

qira is cool but it doesn't scale. It singlesteps the program, recording the effects of each instruction in a fairly naive way. gdb's built-in reverse execution is similar. It's roughly a factor of 1000x slowdown and requires massive storage.

I dont think you understand the economics of debt related to mortgages.

If there were no morts, you would have to amass wealth for a long time to be able to purchase a home, which means ur capital becomes tied and you cant invest. Mortgages increase the amount of circulating money enormously.

Everything is exponential in finance, both debts and house values. Also income and investment returns. The exponential nature of debt is not an argument against anything. Rental also has an exponential opportunity cost.

Overpopulation is its own kind of mutual assured destruction.

Countries keep growing in numbers of people because other countries are also growing in numbers of people, and this correlates to their economic and military power.
These people are going to work and pay a fee to live in a place every month, and rarely is the rent for the same size house better than the mortgage. You're overthinking this.

To most people, the debt is just a magical number on a paper and means nothing to them so long as their daily activities remain unhindered. And indeed, if things go wrong what then? Same thing as rent vs. buying, you lose your place you file bankruptcy whatever. Makes no difference to the buyer.

The only conceivable alternative that you might like is not having to pay for your basic needs, but, that's not going to happen ever in a capitalist society. So good luck with that fantasy.

The author seems to have the forgone conclusion that high concentration of wealth is bad but doesn't put any real effort into explaining why. It's going to make people who agree it's bad feel supported and people who disagree feel frustrated at still not having an answer.

The best reason I've heard is that is leads to violence. People (specifically men) can't cope with knowing they can never succeed in the competitive race to be the richest so they turn to other ways to gain power - like intimidating and beating people. But that seems to be more the fault of those individuals not the people they're jealous of. Maybe we should educate kids to not feel jealous of rich people and that would solve the problem.
The Secret Power of Book Summary Apps
MediaWiki locks the whole article (or just a section if the user happens to explicitly choose so), and has no way of doing conflict resolution. It only detects it.

Actually, the way MediaWiki works was what inspired me to better study the problems of version control and concurrent editing in the first place.
I will believe http2 can efficiently replace a module bundling step when I see it ... unless esm also magically replaces the small module mentality of the npm ecosystem there will remain a ridiculously large number of small packages in the module graph of apps using npm packages ... turning module import into an async operation without a bundler is going to require a ridiculous number of round trips ... somehow dynamically building the bundling mechanism into n*m server layers sounds like even more of a nightmare to me than webpack ...

Also — even if you make every module import async — why would you want to get rid of the ahead of time bundler? Walking the module graph ahead of time is enormously useful for static analysis ... it seems to me like asynchronously loading a module is a special case file size optimization not the normal usage of a module in a program ...

Do people really see mjs and http2 as removing the need for module bundlers? I ask because I’m honestly extremely concerned — I thought that javascript modules were eventually going to grow a new syntax for async module loading not turn every import into an async operation. I don’t understand the vision being pursued here ...

>legal protections allow police to post abuse material

It should be noted that Australia has a lot of history with this sort of legal protection. The reason for this is that Australia does not include its armed/police forces in its democratic institutions - i.e. the armed and police forces do not answer to the public, but rather to the sovereign (the Governor General, who answers to the Queen).

For example, its legal for Australia to commit war crimes as part of the Coalition - in fact, Australian armed forces are in the Coalition to "do the dirty work that other countries cannot do". Australian Forces can bomb innocents with relative impunity - relative to the scrutiny that the American forces must operate under, that is. Whenever America needs something dirty done, it comes knocking on the ADF door...

But u have to consider that the house wouldnt be available without the mortgage, and u would pay a higher rent somewhere else, and the owner might still be amassing the cash to buy it.

Mortgages have a low interest rate in comparison to regular credit, so money that is not put on the mort and into the business economy is an exponential gain.
Common misconception. You need to think not of only the initial sale, but, as the entire future ecosystem of that stock's purchase history as a kind of... pressurized plumbing system. If nobody bought the stocks from there on out, the original sale would have no value, it would be like capping a water spout at the spigot. All of that future trading acts as a low pressure vessel allowing the initial purchase to exist at all.

Incidentally, secondhand markets work the same way. When you have no possibility for a secondhand market you get a race to the bottom in value. Need evidence? See software markets, compare physical video game sales vs. mobile app store video game sales. The alternative we got? Consumable nothing. People convinced to spend money on literally nothing. Paying for the privilege to flip bits on a flash drive. Easily one of the worst markets to ever exist.

So yeah, stock sales are good for the initial investment needs.

I don’t know why the downvotes. Everything else being equal, more body tissues can only mean higher cancer incidence (even if the increase is small, I’m not saying it’s the main driver in the results reported).

A link between cancer incidence and height has also been reported in the past. There may be several factor at play (higher exposure to growth hormone, higher caloric intake) but it is not unreasonable to think that cell count is one of them. For things like skin cancer, it’s hard to justify that size doesn’t matter.
Up until relatively recently we had a perfect solution to this problem: 90% marginal tax rates as an acceptable idea, amongst other things.

What the economy needs is for massive wealth accrual to be met with equally massive backpressure. Allowing for much higher taxes at the very high end of income/investment returns acts as a kind of non-Newtonian fluid in the flow of wealth, keeping it all from going away from those who haven't even had the opportunity to get some yet.

B J Fogg, who gets brief mention in this article, teaches his students to cause behaviour by making the behaviour easy and then delivering timely triggers [1]. If you find yourself behaving in ways you don't reflectively endorse, your basic approach should be to flip the Fogg model upside down – avoid triggers and make it harder.

In my own case, that's meant disabling notifications and blocking websites and apps. I also hacked a Chrome extension which applies the "avoid triggers and make it harder" idea to Gmail [2]. The extension has several thousand users, many of whom reclaim 30-60 minutes of focussed work each week which would otherwise be lost to compulsive inbox processing.

As noted multiple times in the article, the unethical design we’re seeing in popular apps and services today is largely a result of the widespread use of advertising as a revenue model.

This is an appropriate time to show appreciation and support for the companies who are trying to demonstrate successful revenue models which are NOT based on advertising:

Medium - the replacement of “Recommends” with “Claps” was to allow Medium to better understand how much authors should be paid (with the money coming from the paid “Medium Member” plan). [1]

Patreon - probably the most popular service for paying independent content creators today. If you are a regular consumer of a content channel who’s creator is on Patreon and you haven’t already set up micro payments, then please part with a few pennies and help show the industry that an advertising revenue model isn’t the only option.

Wikipedia - Ad-free since its inception, and the web’s most popular encyclopaedia which is completely free to use for all. If you feel like you have the resources to part with a few dollars per month to support Wikipedia, and haven’t already done so, then please do. [2]

Please let me know if there are any others I’ve missed out.

It depends. If your role is "generic, replaceable developer" then you could risk outsourcing. If you're in a specific kind of project, or in a specialist position, it's less likely.

im not so convinced of this grim scenario. It is often that rich people lose their status. Index funds outperform most hedge funds.

Where difference investment options shine is, as you mention, being able to skirt taxes, or have access to information, or state regulation.

In the tech sector, the requirement of being an accredited investor to be able to invest in startups has the following effects: increases investment returns for investors. Reduce amount of founders and their payoff and lowers wages because they cant trade their stock freely, showing captivity.

On taxes: it is dreamed that better tax policy might nake the rich pay what they owe. But that mindset is what got us here. Id say lower the taxes on the common, and that might not solve it, but would vastly reduce the exponentiality.

On information: in this I part with milton and say that all income of any kind should be public. Society will take a hit on privacy, but this information is too valuable to hide. Knowing that everyone woyld not need to speculate on how the rich make money, and given freedom might even compete with them in the same assets.

Game is rigged, unfortunately, by the people that think they are fixing it.

> When someone "buys" something using debt, it must be paid for many times over.

You are comparing amounts of money at different points in time without discounting them to their NPV. That is nonsensical. Ironically, if you go to get a mortgage at a bank, they sometimes use the same arguments to steer you to their preferred mortgage (look how much more you would pay in total at the end of the ride for option A vs option B, without take the time value of money into account).

>I don't buy the idea that smartphones are extinguishing the life of the mind.

That's might be because of thinking of first order effects only.

>Sure, smartphones provide access to almost unlimited trash. But they also provide access to Wikipedia, perhaps the most successful encyclopedia ever developed by humans.

Well, who said access to Wikipedia is something good in itself? For one, it might (and I say it does) reduce the number of deeper study on a subject, because of "I can look it up in Wikipedia". So, people that get interested in something don't need to build a deeper connection with their subject, buy books, follow it over time, connect with other people studying it, as a basic (and often crude) summary is always at small distance, and is perceived as enough.

What's worse, there's a whole new entitlement and arrogance about topics, from people who have just cursory experience with them from Wikipedia or some other such source, and feed as qualified on them as actual people who've studied them/experts. Wikipedia feeds the "Read 1 lemma for 5 minutes expert".

It's even worse when the source of their knowledge is not Wikipedia, but random web BS pages -- from conspiracy theories to homeopathy pages to alternative diets, to plain old bad journalist/click-baits.

>They can show you newspapers from across the planet. They let you read Latin histories of the Norman conquest of Southern Italy in the middle ages.

Both quite irrelevant to the discussion (which is about mass effects), as only a tiny outlier group will ever read those anyway.

It's not the internet/smartphone that is the real problem though. It's that as a civilization we've relinquished control to structures whose only motives are profit-making.

Their "we're changing the world" lip-service always has that ("to make more money") proviso -- not "for the better".

Ank HN: going paperless with android?
I'm looking for an app with the following requirements:

- make photos of documents

- automatic OCR (output preferably a PDF, but image and txt would be OK, too)

- no cloud

- batch photographing multiple pages

- touch to focus for half-empty pages where the cam refuses to focus in the center.

---

So far I have found nothing good among the 13(!) apps I tested.

Cloud infested: Abby FineScanner (even though they sell a mobile sdk for ocr, their app doesn't use it), Adobe Scan, the Google thing, Ms Office Lense

And the rest has various faults:

- Bad OCR (only letter by letter, not language assisted, so loads of typos, especially for german (ß/B, u/ü)). Sadly within this bunch while otherwise my best candidate: Scanbot.

- weird focusing or flash

- auto capturing out of focus

- a manual straightening step (I'd even build a shoe-box rig for scanning if I have to)

- no flash vignette removal (can't be that hard and would improve the OCR a lot, though here again a shoe-box rig with led strips could work )

90% marginal is dumb. It will surely be avoided.

What a catholic idea, that people should commiserate and suffer for the better of others.

Thankfully human kind is resourceful and since time immemorial will always weasel out of situations they dont agree with.

To the very least it would reduce wages and increase stock granting, which making them more obscure it has other negative effects.
Poor people pay interest, rich people collect it.

This creates a situation where the same $1 has less value to a poor person because it has interest paid attached, and $1 to a rich person will have interest/investment gained attached. It is that difference, as well as starting funds/wealth for investment, that creates the exponential growth for wealth and the enormous advantage wealth gives to market actors when inequality is high. Wealth grows at like O(n log n) or better, while poor wealth shrinks sometimes at less than O(1)

Combine that with rich people on average spending less of their overall wealth into the consumer economy (not just investments or hoarding it during down markets -- a problem that exacerbates crashes) and you have a system that will get much worse. Policy is failing currently at getting money to move to all parts of the economy and the velocity of money has fallen off a cliff and is in a freefall due to the hoarding/inequality that has grown since 2000 intensely [1].

Quick disclaimer; I'm pretty close to being a hard money advocate. I agree, and sympathise profoundly with the 'like I'm crazy' part. I sometimes feel like a madman for not holding personal and mortgage debts.

We have a system that is set up based on exponential functions; and we know that most people will intuit linear.

It is very frustrating watching friends people take up a position on the wrong side of an exponential function because they live in the here and now. Doubly so trying that they don't realise how big a financial gap they are creating to where they could be.

I flat out don't believe that most (ordinary, no maths training) people taking on debt understand whether they are making a good or bad decision. If they make a good call, it is luck.
