> Even if everyone is driving electric cars that’s just going to lower the price of gas and people will put it to other uses.

a) There is a floor to oil prices. No one will produce it for less than the cost of production, no matter how low demand falls.

b) It's possible to raise the price arbitrarily using a carbon tax, which becomes much more politically expedient once prices are already lower and fewer voters are relying on oil for their commute.
There's many ways to split a story and oftentimes I would argue that creating a smaller version first makes the code better. Ie writing code that you _know_ will have to change not far off in the future.

A coworker of mine was recently sharing an encounter with an engineer at Quora to me. The gist of it was that the Quora engineer was saying that they've built the best engineering team in the entire industry -- that they're the 'smartest guys in the room'.

Both my coworker and I were impressed by the gall of such a suggestion and then began to wonder how much self-deception and double-think must be occurring, culturally, within a company for its employees to be suggesting such a thing to others.
Yes. Apparently from an 'Idea machine'
Former product display engineer here. Many of those light bulb displays are only meant to demonstrate color temperature, and have completely different power systems on board then an actual light bulb. Usually the AC rectification will be removed and replaced with a DC/DC converter.

This is mostly so that the display can be battery powered, because the availability of AC power on shelf is pretty hit or miss. I wouldn’t trust a display to indicate if the bulb has flicker or not.
Yeah it's probably an abuse of the term, but the effect is similar.

Tax carbon, use the money to fund a UBI. The UBI increases standard of living as much or more than a carbon tax in the same amount reduces it. The carbon tax itself also promotes living closer to work over having a longer commute, which also improves standard of living by reducing the amount of time unproductively spent commuting. (We could also reduce carbon/commuting further by constructing more high density urban housing.) Reducing oil consumption reduces resources sent to antagonistic OPEC member states, leaving those resources here to improve standard of living as well.

This is before we get to the benefits of having less climate change.

I should also mention that biggest technical debate to understand right now is scaling in this space for most part. Smart contracts is not that big of deal at the moment IMO.
These are all open-source developments, adding proven features from one to other is always going to happen over time.

For scaling - you need to read understand a bit about pros and cons of on-chain scaling(ex. bigger block sizes,proof of stake, sharding etc.) and off-chain scaling (ex. layer2/lightning).

You might be surprised to learn that Bitcoin might be the only one or at least one of a couple that has/have the right fundamentals in terms of technology, which of course can still fail.
It's notable that in order to attempt to refute my story you've had to conjure up a whole lot of hypotheticals.

You might consider that over nearly 15 years experiencing pain and distress, I've done a bit of research and tried a few different approaches.

In fact I've spent at least an hour or two per day for pretty much that entire period, trying various ways of getting well, and learning about ways of doing so.

If a new chair was going to make the difference, I would have figured that out by about year 3 or 4 at most.

In fact, I've tried every remedy that you can imagine and many that you can't, and read every relevant book, research paper and internet forum post that might possibly be useful.

I come from a scientific family and work in a scientific field; I understand logic and reason; my career and health depends on it.

I have no incentive to promote or engage in any ineffective remedy; my only incentive has been to become free of pain and illness through whatever means possible, and having now done so I'm happy to share my experiences with others who want to learn from them.

For what it's worth your position relies on some assumptions about physiology that I used to accept but no longer do (or more accurately, no longer can). Most importantly this assertion: "your mind is just a function of your physical brain like digestion is the function of your physical gut". I'm not going to try and educate you on this as there is ample material around for you to find if you care to, but you need to examine this assumption in order to properly grasp this topic.

Having not done much gaming in the last 5 years or so, and never having been particularly competitive, I'm wondering if someone might be able to give a description of what 'boosting' is, and how it benefits a player? My point of reference is something like having a friend grinding away on Starcraft for you until your profile achieves a certain status in the ladder. Ultimately wouldn't that all be for little if you then play consistently against much better players than you, and lose continually until your profile reaches equilibrium again?
This is one of those cases where making a mistake is a big enough deal that it's worth paying for information that is known to be correct, rather than relying on a free service that may or may not be up to date.

> The idea that the family has become such a secondary consideration in modern society, to the point that this mother is advocating to others mothers about the opportunity to vicariously know your own child via the Internet...

Teenagers have been sneaking around behind their parents' backs, trying to assert their own newfound agency and independence, long before the Internet existed. I'm sure parents in the 1960s worried about their 16 years olds "smoking the reefer" and socializing together in groups, late at night, without adult supervision.

I don't think it's unusual at all for a teenager to consciously make a decision not to share every detail of their personal life with their parents, so it's logical that if you want to know what they're really discussing amongst their peer group, look at their social media profiles.

Ask HN: Is it ethical for companies to commoditize open source projects?
Is it ethical for companies to commoditize open source projects (without giving back!) ?

Is it the case that Sagemaker Notebooks (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/gs-setup-working-env.html) are just commoditzed Jupyter?

As far as I know, Jupyter went through a very rough process evolving from ipython notebooks essentially /w giant amount of effort from Fernando Perez and community. From what I can see (Amazon) now decided to commercialize essentially the end effort of a decade of work without ever really contributing back (e.g. http://jupyter.org/about) to the community.

While this may be legal (re: licenses), is this ethical?

vs the various other consulting companies built around an open source offering (e.g. Red Hat) or that also contribute back to core dev while selling an offering (e.g. Cloudera)

When your country is in ruins and barely saved by foreign soldiers fighting and dying, it becomes kinda easy to accept their belief system as your own.

But actually they were quite compatible, come to think about it. Hard working will reward you, be obedient to your elders, your family and your country before you, men decide and women follow, yadda yadda.

Edit: Of course many American soldiers who fought weren't actually right-wing Christian evangelists, but we didn't know it then. Koreans didn't speak good English on 1953: our perception of America (and what it stood for) was warped by whoever was willing to learn Korean... and a lot of them did it to spread the gospel of Jesus, I guess.

I think that just rising the pressure, heart rate and increasing few hormones without moving muscles enough causes inflamation. The reason is not important.

> that I think it's better to consider the possibility that nearly all ailments have physicsl causes.

The brain is physical. Our experience is physical. Our experience can directly impact our other organs. Why else would your heart rate increase in fearful situations?

Point being, "all ailments have physical causes" includes the brain.

> You don't think that you have now skin problems because 10 years ago you ate too many pancakes and had a constipation but now you massage your belly a bit to reconcile that past trauma and your skin problems will go away.

That's not how I read the comment. Seems like he was suggesting that old traumas led to maladaptive behaviours which led to ailments. That's perfectly reasonable.
There's the question of what the cows are fed. AFAIK, grazing isn't how most cows feed these days, and the high methane output may have to do with the feed they're given instead of grass. There was a post here some time ago about feeding cows algae, and that also reducing methane output significantly.

That said, even if grazing does result in a net capture if carbon, that doesn't mean that the problems associated with eating beef like we do go away. There's not enough pasture to produce the amounts of meat factory farming puts out.
The stigma is real, because Tor is actually extremely slow (at least in India) for everyday use. Even when I want to visit sites that are blocked by Indian ISPs, and which do have an easily found .onion address, I don't bother with it - I'd rather use a free VPN instead, despite the lack of transparency involved - Tor is just too slow.

Unless it (somehow) finds a way to decrease latency in the future, it will remain as it is today - filling a useful niche for the masses, and even a daily driver for the privacy concerned - but I can't see it ever being in the mainstream. The average users couldn't give two hoots about privacy - they just want things to work, which is an understandable PoV.

And why would anyone visit HN with it? FB, I can get behind, but what tangible benefits would you get from using Tor on a site which (afaik) doesn't track you, and doesn't sell your data? Genuinely curious.
Every generation has predicted it will be the last. They’ve all been wrong, so far. One will be right.

What terrifies me is that for the first time in human history, inaction will kill us all. Previous credible apocalyptic scenarios either were local (e.g. deforesting Easter island killed the islanders, but not anyone else), or required active action by people to bring about Armageddon. Now continuing the current course unchanged will absolutely bring an end to most civilizations by the century end, and end humanity completely by 2300 or so. This is new, and something we are really not prepared to deal with.

The ones you're talking about demonstrate color temperature. The ones I've seen demonstrate the different light output of different brands and are connected to AC through a dimmer. You can play with the dimmer, and the price of the dimmer (each dimmer is different) and the bulb are displayed.

I can't imagine those are battery powered or that every different bulb on display has been modified.

Partly true.

Strenuous exercise actually made my condition worse. That turns out to be a symptom of CFS/ME, I found out later.

5 reasons why AI will not cost you your job
As someone that uses JIRA for hardware development and hates it, this article really speaks to why it is such a pain point. There is often a lot of moving parts going on in a project, and there isn't much to put down until a task is done, at which point it feels pointless to say anything more than "Temperatures were all found to be within specification. Test report attached." Where something with a much higher level view of the project (maybe deliverables based) would be more useful. When we do have an issue that could be useful to track the status with comments over time, it is such an emergency that nobody documents it until after it is resolved, and you would be lucky to find it in the future with the terrible search anyway.
Again, being able to live a life of leisure exclusively out of your fortune's interests reaches far higher than "living a comfortable line". You can live very comfortably with a part-time job, or even a full-time job that's not too demanding.
Perfect mix of giving them room and still having an open door. I'm not a parent, but I remember being young, and I remember what a difference such a live and let live attitude made. The implicit understanding that I can have my "secrets", that I don't have to pretend to not have any, but that if there's anything serious, I'll say something.

The adults I trusted and the ones I was wary of I could divide roughly along that axis I think: give me room and I'll feel grateful and proud and super grown up and will try to be responsible, or be pushy and patronizing and nothing good will come out of it (certainly when it was just random adults, not my parents or teachers, I could out-stubborn anyone).
There's a slight problem with water, I believe.
Huh, I wonder what causes that. Because I'll watch some of the political comedians (like Trevor Noah and others) and then that takes over my feed for a few days.

I do like viewing new content, but it seems like the algorithm encourages showing stuff I'm not subscribed to (like the above comedies) as opposed to stuff I am subscribed to. I also frequently get suggested videos I've seen before. Like even the same day. And I do have history enabled.
>With all due respect, the main focus of a Christian worship service is "the actual God part", so removing the content creates an entirely different thing altogether.

99.x% of Christian services are morality instructions, which one is free to ponder regardless of any particular belief one might hold.

The why of it in a traditional Christian service is 'God'. That's where many Unitarians (and myself) veer from older religious institutions. But I'm still happy to talk about morality with a regular Christian, in the the same way I'll talk about it with anyone else who has an interest in such things.
Well it is still very young and business innovation moves slow and cautious. Also regulators have not fully decided on a few issues that are very important regarding digital assets. I believe there is a lot going on behind the scenes of a lot of major companies right now though. Mostly in terms of hiring and r&d. Even Facebook is hiring blockchain engineers. I think this will all develop in time.
Same. I end up watching some of the stuff from homepage everyday. Plus YouTube's recommendations after you have watched a video is very effective, at least in my experience.

The issue here is that they're cutting away from what was actually the standard before in order to create something "premium". What used to be "economy" is now "premium economy" with a price hike, and now "economy" is something that was made deliberately worse.
