> insects probably couldn't

I saw something (can't find source right now) that insects don't feel pain. The key observation was that insects with injured legs don't favor that leg at all. The evolutionary explanation is that pain is a survival mechanism to avoid further damaging an already-damaged body part; if the organism doesn't live long enough for its body parts to heal, it doesn't benefit from feeling pain.

The title makes perfect sense. A young woman died. She died because two hackers lied, and she followed those lies. This is the story of how it happened.

So this is how a young woman followed the lies for two hackers, and died.

This is:

"How A Young Woman Followed Two Hackers' Lies To Her Death"

The apostrophe after "hackers" shows that the lies belonged to the hackers. The phrase "Two Hackers' Lies" is a noun phrase, it's a thing, it's the collection of lies told by two hackers.

Does that help?
> This site seems to manage to avoid it.

If we are going to be reasonable a better comparison would be comparing this site to a single heavily moderated subreddit.

As an extreme you have subreddits like https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/ if you look into the comments you will see a lot of "[ Removed ]" threads. https://i.imgur.com/Q7mXkPd.png

Other subreddits are purposefully not moderated as heavily. It's entirely up to whoever runs it to moderate how they see fit.
You're just using different words to describe socialism, which I frankly don't think needs any further arguments against it besides pointing at it's attempted implementations.

Why Ford Hired a Furniture Maker as CEO
Absolutely. It is "cheap" when the median price of a home is $1.5M it is "expensive" when the median price of a home is $150K.

The point though is that it addresses the 'variation in pre-manufactured homes' question. There are people out there building pre-manufactured homes, that mix up the formula with high end amenities.

As I see it, there are two vectors on these things, their shapes, and what you can get inside of them. The traditional mobile home type home is limited to 'single' straight and long and 'double wide' and long. That accommodates and optimizes for the lot shapes that typical mobile home parks allocate for these homes.

Retool hiring in SF for engineering, developer relations, customer support, etc.
Hi — we're Retool, a fast way of building internal tools. We launched on HN not too long ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17725966). We're based in the Mission / Castro district of San Francisco. We're currently hiring on-site only. (Sorry, remote!)

We're profitable, growing quickly, and have raised money from great technical founders, including Paul Graham, John + Patrick Collison, Nat Friedman, Greg Brockman, etc.

The market for custom enterprise apps is huge. And we think that we have a promising shot at capturing much of it: we have a product that works, that customers love (go talk to any customer), and whose usage is growing rapidly.

We've significantly de-risked the business (good signals of early pmf, completed 10+ unaffiliated sales via cold email, are profitable, etc.). But there's plenty of uncertainty left as well. For example: how do we convert early pmf into actual pmf? How do we scale sales? Should we be doing sales or marketing? Should we be selling to technical or non-technical people?

We're now hiring for many roles, including engineering, sales, developer relations, customer support + success. If you enjoy, and are good at the following:

- building things,

- deciding what to work on, independently,

- and getting things done + managing yourself

We think you might be a good fit at Retool!

If you're interested, please email jobs@tryretool.com. Please include whatever you think could help us understand you, your background, and your accomplishments.

Thanks!
Yes. In a perfect information market, this will not work. The people that can do the job for 0.40 will do it directly for that amount or they will get it for 0.60. But information is a scarcity for poor people and that makes the market very very inefficient with a lot of people getting part of the cake without adding any value.
Meh, we have had the same thing as you guys for a long time. FRA (the signal intelligence in sweden) has been recording our border-passing communications for many years. This is maybe not new knowledge, but definitely not that widespread.

The information gathered (oh, they have access to XKeyscore) is then shared within X eyes (nine? fourteen?) program. The extent of FRA's intelligence operations was not known before snowden.

Some of it became more public knowledge in 2008 when there was a new law that gave them permission to do cable interception. It was later confirmed that they had been doing cable interception before the law was enacted, in conflict with the law, but "with acceptance" of the administration.

Sweden is really not much better than other countries. Norway is following suit, but with a slightly "better" law that at least requires secret court orders to store other things than metadata of things passing the border.

Edit: oh, and they are allowed (or at least not strictly disallowed) to do targeted hacking, which they have done in cooperation with other (NSA) intelligence agencies.

But, at least we do not have a secret bugdet like other democracies :) . They got about 1 billion SEK last year, or about 0.1% of the national budget.

Simply accepting you're in the wrong location means moving, and you can't move a factory and all it's workers cheaply. Similarly, no one wants to automate their own job away, as that would result in them not having a job.

Granted, long-term that thinking kills companies, but short term it keeps the bills paid, the kids fed, and the beer cold.

Annals of the Former World by McPhee. It's a geologic history of the United States, from Precambrian time to now, as well as a history of human understanding of geology.

The intersection of billions of years of history, a scale where ice ages come and go like thunder storms, where mountains go up and down in quick succession, with the human timescale of scientific progress, really altered my perspective on a lot of things. We didn't have plate tectonics until the 1970's. My grandfather went to high school and college learning the classical theories of orogenies, and just two generations later, a blink of an eye relative to the movements of our Earth, human understanding of what shapes our world is massively advanced.

It's made me think about every human endeavor differently. Everything we do and are is so ephemeral.

[The Gulag Archipelago by Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago)

>“The applause went on—six, seven, eight minutes! They were done for! Their goose was cooked! They couldn’t stop now till they collapsed with heart attacks! At the rear of the hall, which was crowded, they could of course cheat a bit, clap less frequently, less vigorously, not so eagerly…Nine minutes! Ten!…Insanity! To the last man! With make-believe enthusiasm on their faces, looking at each other with faint hope, the district leaders were just going to go on and on applauding till they fell where they stood, till they were carried out of the hall on stretchers.”
>
>At last, after eleven minutes of non-stop clapping, the director of a paper factory finally decided enough was enough. He stopped clapping and sat down—a miracle!
“To a man, everyone else stopped dead and sat down,” Solzhenitsyn says.
>
>That same night, the director of the paper factory was arrested and sent to prison for ten years. Authorities came up with some official reason for his sentence, but during his interrogation, he was told: “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!”

>“Martin Latsis, writing for the newspaper Red Terror, November 1, 1918: “We are not fighting against single individuals. We are exterminating the bourgeoisie as a class. It is not necessary during the interrogation to look for evidence proving that the accused opposed the Soviets by word or action. The first question you should ask him is what class does he belong to, what is his origin, his education and his profession. These are the questions that will determine the fate of the accused. Such is the sense and essence of red terror.”

Sam, how young can they apply for YC? :)

I know this isn't the place for it, but when she said that, I just had to share. Give her a chance... time is on her side.
I fish on occasion, though at my skill level it's probably better described as "being disappointed next to water". I'm usually going for perch or bluegill. People typically throw them in a cooler of ice while still alive, or put them on a stringer, a line run through their mouth and out the gill so that can sort of still somewhat swim around and live until the fisherman is ready to go home.

Both of those seem pretty unpleasant to me. I tried putting them in a cooler on ice the first time and they flopped around for hours. They were still moving when I went to clean them later. If you watch videos of people cleaning fish, you'll see they are often still moving even while the fish is being filleted. When I was a kid, I once saw someone cut the fillets off a fish and toss the "carcass" back in the water where it proceeded to try to swim away.

The last time I went fishing, I tried the first step of ike jime where you spike the brain. I used a little pocket knife and poked it between the eyes. It took a few tries to find the right spot, but once I did, I do think it was more humane. The gills flare and the fish stiffens for a second and then immediately after it has clearly shuffled off its mortal coil.

I don't know if it improves the taste, but it seems kinder to me than letting it beat itself senseless in a pile of ice or flail around in the water with a line running through its throat.

For anyone who thinks this comment is brutal or unpleasant, I would really recommend spending some time fishing or hunting if you eat meat. It's important to have a real tactile understanding of what it means to take an animal from the wild and turn it into food. It's up to you to decide if you think that people should or shouldn't do it, but, either way, I think it is a real learning experience to understand what that choice entails.

Also, I think we tend to live lives increasingly removed from the physical, tactile, natural world. Fishing is a good way to reconnect with nature and with your own nature as an animal, a predator that eats other animals.
I find "Living with Complexity" equally interesting.

My own idea was that the planet I rolled up hosted a sort of cargo-cult experiment, where the beings that hosted the computing infrastructure were using it for really basic tasks that were easily perceptible to their sensing skills, not understanding what it was, really. Their technological skills included rudimentary large-mass manipulation, and after making a place for this equipment and securing it, they had long since died out, while their "data center" was still flourishing and had stored extremely valuable data.
> I pay $375. And at a different doctor, before I found my current one, I was paying $750.

Most of them are charging more than $375. This is not regional pricing. There is no reason why an infusion in Albuquerque should cost half as much as an infusion in Chicago. In another comment you suggested these experts should be respected.

It is an allegory of the Russian Revolution of 1917. The farmer represents the Tsarist autocracy. In a Tsarist autocracy all power and wealth is controlled by the Tsar (Farmer Jones). This is actually a long way from capitalism. In the end the pigs form what is referred to as an oligarchy.

But attempts to do so have resulted in more suffering and death, rather than less. Maybe we don't need to solve it at that price. Or maybe there's a better solution than the one you propose.
I don't think they're missing out - they probably enjoy a good Indian restaurant as much as we do. But for what they measure, that's tilted toward a certain kind of presentation that is predominantly done by French and Japanese restaurants. It's not just about the food, and how enjoyable the food is. It's about the wine selection, the interior decoration, and a whole host of other things.

Rather than resenting the Michelin system for not representing the kind of restaurants we love, maybe just recognize that it's not supposed to do that, and find other ways to find and measure restaurants that don't fit the Michelin data model?
We have used Polymer (1, 2 & 3), lit-html and LitElement on large production websites for some time now.

Following the progression was a rocky road at times but it really does now provide a very lean base to build from. I rarely find the need to use a framework or some such library anymore unless for consistency within existing projects.

Reuseable components really are easy now and really are reuseable. It'll be very interesting to see where this project goes...
Been using Polymer for the last year and loving it. Happy to do very little to get my element portfolio progressively over to litElement. Congrats to the polymer project team on getting this out there!

Principles by Ray Dalio, completely changed the way I think.

Currently in the middle of thinking fast and slow, and I think it may be happening again :p
I hear what you're saying, but if someone's not paying for the services they're using in taxes, they're a burden being carried by other tax payers. No need to consider land or housing issues or view the whole thing as a zero-sum competition at all. You're bringing in a lot of things that don't really factor into the cost of property taxes at the end of the day.

> Every X number of poor people in a city, represents a subtraction of an equivalent number of rich people

No such logic like this is required - the more people who live in a city but don't contribute their share of taxes, the higher the taxes are for everyone who does. I'm talking strictly about people who are not net contributors - I think you'd be hard pressed to find people in low-income housing projects who are, the housing alone has significant cost and upkeep of it often falls on the city.

That's not to say it has no benefits of course, bringing people out of poverty can be powerful and useful economically, but if I were to state the opposite is true - that we should be decreasing taxes by building more low income housing, you'd look at me like I'm crazy unless I presented some seriously compelling evidence.
As a deaf person, I use https://www.ava.me/ most of the time. It allows me to host a group conversation and have speakers labeled if everyone else uses the app but that's a chore to set up sometimes. It's also quite pricey at $30 per month and some months I use it for less than a hour. It can voice what you type if you want, but I normally voice for myself. I also used to use Keep Notes & the 'mic' icon in a pinch, but that would turn itself off if it didn't pick up any speech in some time.
I had to think deeply about this and particularly about a book changing the way I think about things and how often I think back to things in the book. For me it has to be Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain. It made me realize that I am more creatively skilled than I thought I was — a realization which has enhanced my life greatly. To some lesser degree The Artist's Way has influenced me as well.

Perhaps the most nuts-and-bolts useful of books for me has been John Saxon's Algebra 1 and Algebra 1 1/2 textbooks. After coasting through high-school algebra without gaining any real mastery, in my early 20s I sat down with these two masterworks of clarity and re-taught myself algebra in the space of a couple full weekends. I use this (re-)learning every day of my life.
