US companies operate under US jurisdiction, which means US can charge and convict the specific people involved in the illegal activity in US courts (instead of shutting down the company). Since US courts don’t have Jurisdiction over China, one has to rely on harsher but indirect methods like these.
Do people get paid for energy injected into the grid? If one consumes X kW/month but generates 1.5X, what happens to the 0.5X difference?
You have a point, even though I disagree in the long view. It is a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation. Making transit really good is very hard until cars are deprioritized. And until transit is really good, deprioritizing cars screws a lot of people over.
Given the testing involves mashing them up, I don't expect the volume of ticks to be a particular problem. Given the average incubation period for most diseases of concern is less than two weeks, we're talking about at worst a dozen or so ziploc bags, and that's if you're taking ticks off yourself every day.

Two other notes: I'm highly skeptical that "thousands" of ticks is your average outdoorsman, especially given the seasonality of ticks, and the reported volume of tick bites in forestry workers, which wasn't that high and my colleagues did consider appalling.

Second: "The South" which you keep mentioning is not made up of just farmers and outdoorsmen. It's also made up of major urban areas with large forest fragmentation issues.

Is subsidizing local debtors at the expense of local creditors really the way yo further the public good?

That looks like a complicated question that does not have a single answer. And a government can spend money with much finer granularity than it can tax or regulate, so it is very likely that letting the banks concentrate (up to reasonable levels) is the correct answer.

If your whole team is otherwise local, sure. If your team is dispersed across both US coasts, intermediate US states, and Europe - as mine was for much of last year - I see no reason why the company would especially prioritize paying the extra office costs for a worker who preferred remote in an acceptable location.

We stayed in a kind of cabin/camp ground near Bretton Woods in New Hampshire a while ago.

I was talking to the owner about how we was going remodelling the cabins. Turns out he did all the electrical, gas fitting, plumbing, building, excavation work...himself.

Coming from a country where we have a pretty full on regulation and inspection regime, I found it quite incredible.

You can want something yet fail to achieve it, that's fairly obvious, no? Compare: fat people who want to be not-fat.

Of course, the blatant counter-argument would be that those just don't want it enough; this entire train of thought seems rather damning to me.
I recently wrote a blog post in which I described the various lock-in effects that are at play. This statement from above has little to do with my personal experience (I'm almost gone from Facebook, although not completely yet) but with actually understanding how crucial Facebook is for most people.

Here is the relevant part:

- The need to supplant emotional labor with Facebook (read Sarah Jeong’s essay on how she tried to stay away from Facebook and really felt bad about it. For many, not having Facebook means an extremely weakened social support network)

- The need to use Facebook to get required information (such as parties, events, gossip, personalized news).

- The need to use Facebook to run a business/make a living (Read: Emerging Markets Can’t Quit Facebook)

- The need to use Facebook for work-related tasks.

- The need to use Facebook to maintain and reach a personal audience (particularly relevant for influencers and people from the fields of media, marketing and communication, politicians etc.)

- The need to login to 3rd party sites with Facebook credentials"

Not everything applies to everyone. But I bet that almost every active Facebook user would recognize themselves in some of these. And unlike what the general tenor at HN suggests, most people are not willing to accept any sacrifice in order to remove Facebook from their lives.

The location requirement can be covered by the bid proposal of the developer. The can say the development requires certain features. It will be in their interest to make this as broad as possible so they create the maximum competition between communities for the development.

For example developers could make the conditions so tight that only one location met all the requirements pushing up the cost since that community would know this was the only site and so hold off bidding. Alternatively, the developer could set the conditions broadly so that more communities would bid lowering the cost.

The nice thing about this is the friendlier the developer makes the proposal to a community the lower the price they will have pay. The community gets development that maximises their returns while the developer is encouraged to create community friendly developments.
Umm, it says right on the article.

> Assuming the average Facebook user visits the social network once a day, that would suggest an average of about 43 million less users during that month. In recent months, Facebook makes about $5 per user, per month -- i.e. some $215 million in potential lost revenue.
This was my initial thought reading this post, that logic has developed quite a bit the past few thousand years, with different logics able to evaluate different types of values (e.g. Kleene's logic). But I feel the author's better point is that different languages evaluate unknown/null/nil/none values differently, or in an illogical way. Like, ideally if a language were to use a null value, I feel that such a value shouldn't ever evaluate to, say, 0 or an empty set, because it's making an unwarranted assumption.

What you seem to be suggesting is that everything a corporation may or may not do is a political question to be decided by lawmakers nominally guarding the “common good”.

If it increases undesirable things like gridlock or noise then even renters suffer from development. While developments should lower rents (all things being equal) it does still have external costs to renters.
As you well know local market rates are very much tied to cost of living, so you deny believing in cost of living but in effect are adjusting salary based upon cost of living.
Yes, creating a company from scratch is hard. It's a lot of work. Part of that work is taking care of yourself and your cofounders.

If you want to create a successful company, there's no room not to do those things. At best you'll burn out. If somehow your company survives, you probably won't like the culture you created.

To be clear: I'm not saying "don't work hard". I'm saying that if you think you can make it by cutting out all personal time, you don't have the stamina you think you do. Almost nobody does, you're not the exception, and even if you are, you're gambling your company with your own life which, in startup lingo, is what we call a "dumb move".
I really want Firefox to succeed, but I got this behavior since Quantum was launched. I'm still hopeful to see it solved.
> ...local regulations used by homeowners to block new development.

If the YIMBYs want to win they need to realize their opponents are not just homeowners. Low-income renters have issues with them too. YIMBYs are generally in some form of denial about that.

They like to believe that they are fighting the progressive fight against rich, old homeowners. They like to proclaim they are fighting for "poorer, younger, and (frequently) non-white people" (Stripe).[1] But when it comes to explaining why poorer and non-white renters aren't always on their side, YIMBYs are caught flat-footed. If they're not careful they end up sounding condescending. Like, Didn't you guys take economics? Supply and demand, bro!

That's probably why the bill failed. There were significant amendments added to address the concerns of low-income housing advocates, who see a greater need for BMR units among other things. But these were added only after substantial protest.

One low-income housing activist said it best: "The YIMBY movement has a white privilege problem."[2] They are kind of in denial about the effect of development-stimulated gentrification on rents in affordable neighborhoods. They like to think that young tech workers are in the same boat as minimum wage earners, all in need of "affordable" housing. They really don't like to think about things like induced demand, where adding capacity can actually create more demand.

In the long run even the tech industry needs affordable housing for service industry workers to support its continued growth. It's not just about economic justice or turning back gentrification. Quite simply, if cooks and teachers and artists can't afford to work here it's not going to be as desirable a place to live. If the market alone can't solve that -- and many low-income housing advocates believe it can't -- then we need to fight for BMR and other strategies to create and protect truly affordable housing.

I would start by determining what you goal of the patent is. Do you want it:

1. for marketing purposes (to advertise a product based on patented technology)

2. As part of a larger portfolio for future licensing

3. To protect yourself from another company from competing with you.

Your answer to the above should guide you on how much to spend on your patent.

Case 1, it doesn’t really matter how “good” your patent is a long as it gets issued. Your customers likely won’t bother looking. So maybe try to save so cash and file yourself.

Case 2: you want the patent to be as broad as possible. Plus include as many alternate but less optimal solutions. Get a good attorney who is familiar with your field. They may charge $3-600/hour but it ma be worth it. You can often get a jr attorney to do a lot of the tedious parts under the guidance of the Sr partner.

Case 3: patents don’t prevent others from infringing. They only give you the right to litigate. Would you be able to afford to litigate? That will cost way more than the patent itself. If the infringer is a large company, they can just litigate you out of your bank account. On this case? Why bother with even filing?

The process that works well for me is I write a detailed description of the invention and draft claims. Then hand it over to my attorneys to make better. They tell me my method works as a good data dump and that it saves them a lot of time.

Good luck!
How does that analogy fit back into decentralized social networks?
I addressed this issue up thread - the developer just makes the conditions for the bid part of the bid documentation. It is in their interest to keep it broad so that they get more bids.

Buses works great as a middle-class transit option in lots of places. When I lived in Barcelona I used the city bus as my primary method of short- to medium-distance transit, as did, I believe, the majority of middle-class residents.

Taking the bus doesn't have to be the terrible experience it has devolved into in many US metro areas.
GraphQL Person. It does. But GraphQL is not a silver bullet. It adds a decent amount of complexity on the front end (assuming web / mobile app) that I don't think is worth it unless you're really making use of GraphQL's feature set.

Perhaps you are right --- Amazon would not be punished in this way.

But likely you are right for different reasons than you think?

US government can put US executives in jail. I'm sure it would put them in jail. You have to remember what happened here: ZTE was caught, paid penalty and promised to be nice, then they reneged on their promise, lied about it, and got caught again.

Feds in fact just recently put VW executive in jail for even lesser offense. US government has no such jail-time leverage with Chinese companies, there is no extradition agreement, so the only leverage US has, it used.

> now Chinese industry is advanced enough that we will see innovation coming from China

People have been saying this forever and we're still waiting for any sign of it. People love to over-simplify economics and make the big assumption that the historical progress seen in the west in previous eras is a repeatable system on a simple arc trajectory of advancement. But I personally believe it is as much a product of the local (work) culture, politics, and economic systems... not simply just a side-effect of the creation of a middle class.

Just look at Japan. They had a great period of innovation within a particular period of chaos where the old cultural rules weren't being imposed and whole new industries were developed. Which later became crippled by a variety of forces, including most notably culture and how 'elders'/successful companies are treated like gods, while upstarts became marginalized as the larger firms became politically entrenched. Now that the systems are in place the creative class has largely been stamped out.

That had little to do with Japan's particular position on some growth model but a variety of distinct local forces.

This type of thing is also not just a product of industry but also academically, which we've also seen a lack of larger sweeping innovations coming out of China, instead mostly just narrower progress within existing western thought. It's entirely possible that what China is best at is these type of things, mastering these individual existing categories, optimizing them, and working harder than anyone else at them. Rather than developing the more creative innovations which bring together disparate pieces from other areas into new ones.

That too seems to be a result of cultural and economic system... not simply their position within some predicable growth model which worked in the west.
they have a problem with low-income housing activists more so than actual low income people.

I just want a fair shake.

I don't want Fees, while giving me 0 interest.

I don't need a physical location, but would like a place I can sent a check to. Just an ATM? Forget the fancy office no-one goes in anymore? Oh yea, technological security would be appreciated. Never understood why they don't sent an email everytime I use a debt card?

I don't care about the loan because they will never give me one. I get it. This is America. The place where the poor get one chance, usually a high interest credit card.

(This is what most America's want. Most of us are barely getting by, and I believe banks have colluded on fees. And they are still redlining. Loans--well it's so much more than good credit, and pay stubs. It's basically dad signing away the family house in order for most of us to get a decent loan, and some of us would never take that risk.)
Be careful that you don't mistake outliers from the norm.

Just downloaded your app, as I was looking for a more curated solution that what OP provides (I don't know enough about art to make my own selection).

One quick question I had was if it is possible to have Artpip only apply a background to one screen. I have an external monitor and I'd prefer if the two didn't always show the same wallpaper. Additionally, I have one personal wallpaper I particularity enjoy, and would like if I could keep that permanently on one monitor, while simultaneously running Artpip on the other.

I know we have this desire for a single task list but in practice I don't find it that useful. My task list at work would get in the way when I go to the shops. My task list at home is only needed there, I need to be reminded to pay bills when I'm at home and not when I'm at work. Even between different projects at work and home different task lists can be good.
