I imagine I’ll take heat for this, but the first answer that comes to mind is A Thousand Plateaus by Deleuze & Guattari. It has been justifiably criticized by many people on many grounds, but as with OP and Freakonomics, certain of the concepts in that book frequently appear in my thoughts 20 years after I worked through some of it. I don’t associate it with truth; but some of the mental models have really stuck with me.

Edit: also Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse. It’s slim and user friendly to a fault, and would be easy to underestimate at first glance, but imho contains great wisdom and beauty.
There is an entire subreddit devoted to people falling for onion headlines on social media.
I imagine it'd be easier to do it in a place with a nice year-round climate and no mosquitoes. And you could put up some outdoor shade pretty easily if you have the space and not have it count against your indoor square footage, and effectively get a living room that you can use most of the time.
Studio McLeod and Ekkist create balloon-powered flying houses concept
"I had to learn, out of sheer necessity, the tools to create unity and direction for teams. This is a skill that is so powerful and fascinating it eclipses all my technical skills."

"No matter what has happened in the past, now is the time to own up to mistakes, and set new standards for going forward."

The familiar delusional narrative that it's their fault is easy to see.

In addition, passion about turning around failing projects seems intrinsically psychotic; it's a job, not a struggle for one's life.
A lot of those things are conscious choices... I suppose getting good grades is tough if you are not intelligent and were born with a bad brain, or paying attention might be tough if you had ADD.

Some of it may just be a result of having decent parents that instill good values in you, like warning you about hanging with the wrong crowds or teaching you right from wrong or showing you interesting stuff.

I guess if one is looking for an excuse for their shitty upbringing, your parents are the first place to start, not society. Maybe if someone is a shitty parent we should be more aggressive about taking their kids away, instead of letting them reach maturity in their sorry state where it becomes increasingly harder and more expensive to get them back on their feet. Maybe people shouldn't be entitled to raising their kids automatically if they can't demonstrate they'll be a good parent. It may be the only way to solve the problem of poor and underemployed people breeding out of control and creating more poor and underemployed.

There's no graphic images. It's not a "shock" or "gotcha" link.

The TL;DR is that the head can stay "alive" for some time after decapitation. The nominal example (see the URL) being Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier who was guillotined during the French Revolution and committed to blinking for as long as he possibly could after being decapitated. There are also more modern examples "thanks" to ISIS.

Exactly this! We got rid of out dinning table because we were always eating in front of the TV or the PC. We got rid of the couch because we were always watching TV from bed. We didn't see the point in keeping these only to very rarely have people come over. We can meet outside or they can deal with the no table no couch setup, I won't live in a more crowded space for them.
Of course not, but a state is not a country. Germany has 16 states, for example, and the statistics don't count people from different states as immigrants.

However, a person from a neighbouring country (e.g. Mexico) would count as an immigrant in the US.

Just because states are massive in the US doesn't make them equivalent to different countries in Europe, which all have their own language, ethnic background, and culture. A German person moving 350 miles to Italy (from Munich to Venice) is definitely an immigrant, with a completely different background, even though the distance itself isn't even enough to go between Austin and Houston in Texas.
Seems like a reasonable use of it as long as the sensitivity is set so you have a reasonably low false positive rate (or have a human in the loop).
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky - introduced me to the rationalist movement

The First Immortal by James Halperin - introduced me as a sixth grader to things like cryonics, nanotech, etc. Got me thinking about a realistic ambitious nearer term future for humanity, rather than a more fantasy-like one in the other sci-fi I'd read at that point, like Asimov and Heinlein

As a Man Thinketh by James Allen - gave me much greater agency in life. Made me realize “You are today where your thoughts have brought you;
you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”
Sushi dates back to before the invention of the fridge. It originated as a series of techniques to preserve fish. Sushi with fresh fish is a relatively modern take on it.

Old style sushi is sometimes called edomae style sushi, and it used various ways of preserving fish such as salt curing, ageing, smoking, braising and whatnot, all to extend the shelf life.

I have a theory, that the reason older engineers are into embedded development, is that the scale of technology is similar to what they were using ~30 years prior. It's very different, of course, and there are many new things; but the kids these days consume terawatts of cloud compute to apply deep learning to cryptocurrencies, and it takes a very different mindset to "squeeze" code into 1MB flash and 256kB RAM. I'm happier down there, I'd rather twiddle bits than learn a new front-end framework every other month.

Eastern countries too, unless they're too totalitarian to hold votes.
For me, it’s How to Lie With Statitics. It opened my eyes to how much lies are in numbers. Also, another good one is 1984. It really made me think about my online life depending so much on Google.
How about “Wehrmacht conscript?” That’s extremely precise and accurate.
“The Design of Everyday Things” changed the way I see literally everything. You’ll never look at doors the same way again, and prepare to forever be frustrated by poorly designed objects, and delighted by incredibly well designed ones.

There is no better book on the philosophy of UX, imho.
That's the point the GP is trying to make: those services rely on property taxes, not income tax. So more people in the same area means either lower revenue per capita for the local government, or much higher taxes for the existing residents. Usually, proposing the second option is political suicide.
Mine would be "Why we get fat and what to do about it" by Gary Taubes. Not only it changed my life (overweight to my healthiest ever), it also led me to challenge everything about our dietary dogmas. I further read "Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living", watched a lot of lectures and saw studies which question our current notions. Overall I am more skeptical of studies which have links to those benefiting from it commercially.
Exactly. While the newest Earthsea book can feel like they're getting a bit heavy-handed, for the most part she just wrote the characters, and they happen to not be "white dudes in space", but you might not even notice.

It's notable, I think, that a lot of white people (me included) didn't/don't even pick up on the color of the characters in Earthsea. But the descriptions are there, black on white. Le Guin herself wrote about that after the TV-series:

> I think it is possible that some readers never even notice what color the people in the story are. Don’t notice, don’t care. Whites of course have the privilege of not caring, of being “colorblind.” Nobody else does.

But that also speaks to the fact that didn't write stereotypical black characters, or stereotypical women. She just wrote people that happened to be black, or women, and sometimes the color of their skin or gender is just casually mentioned well into the story. Only when it is essential to the plot (like in Left Hand of Darkness) will she make an point of it.
Generally, sushi grade fish is frozen to kill any potentially harmful parasites.

The FDA recommends -4°F or below for 7 days ( which any freezer today can do ).

https://www.fda.gov/downloads/Food/GuidanceRegulation/UCM252...

Also, most fish used for sushi are those that a generally less likely to have parasites that harm humans ( like tuna for example ). Wild fish like salmon, cod, etc are rife with parasites. The japanese historically never used salmon for sushi until farmed salmon became available. Farmed salmon do not have parasites because their feed is controlled - similar to how modern cows, pigs, etc do not have parasites as a result of farms controlling their feed.

https://www.norwayexports.no/norways-introduction-of-salmon-...

People love to attack farmed fish, beef, pork, etc as being unhealthy, but they don't realize that farmed meat has helped wipe out a significant portion of harmful parasites from the west.
But what defines “offensive”? If you used a “profane” word, I’d likely not even notice. But if you said something negative about me or my family, yes, that’d likely be offensive. Even that isn’t fool proof, a friend saying something negative about me might not be offensive (especially if a truthful statement), but a stranger it would likely always be. There’s so much nuance here that I feel it’s a losing battle.

Oh, they can tell you're weird. In a way where you take the bad things in life, and convince yourself they're good. Likely because growing up you were a little weird, so to hide it you made weird your thing and became a lot weird.

Here are some things you can't do, which I am sure you have replaced with other things, and convinced yourself you don't want to do them:

1. doing laundry while you're sleeping or your baby is sleeping. I like to load a basket into the washer, take a shower and brush my teeth, then move it to the dryer and go to sleep. Fresh socks in the morning.

2. cooking curry dishes and not having your whole house soak up the smell

3. watching porn while the wife is home. let's face it - if you got a newborn, she's not super-sexy right now.

4. have friends over, let them vape inside, have them sit not on your bed

5. have only one person lose sleep when the baby is crying at night.

6. take a nice long hot bath

7. work out at home. I mean a real one with weights and an elliptical - not push-ups

8. I could go on, but there's clearly no point, since you know all these things.

That was my first thought looking at them. And depending on how the binary values are indexed, probably much more efficient for inserting into a primary key than a UUIDv4.
Well, for example, the U.S. federal government was designed to cope with that problem: the Senate represents the states equally, regardless of population, and the President is elected by the electoral college, limiting the ability of large population centers to overwhelm the rest of the country. It's not a perfect system, and there will never be one, because humans are humans. But these problems are not new, and people were dealing with them a long time ago. Did the design of the EU not take them into account?
The NLG companies aren't parsing the data from financial reports. They're getting clean, structured data (and context) from specialized data providers like Zacks, and its equivalent in other industries:

It says he held all the money in an account and the bank accepted his explanation that it was there for testing. It seems likely he was waiting to see if problems surfaced or he was just collecting interest, but it seems to me 10 1/2 years is pretty harsh for making transactions at a certain time of day to exploit what is actually a ridiculous problem on the bank's end, especially considering he was able to give the money back.
Intel's floating point coprocessor may have been out of reach for most people in the early 90's, but there were clones available. My 386 had a Cyrix I believe.
Like I said to the other guy, depends on what you're working on. If you're building a product for users, there's a chance you have never implemented this. If you're building a product for developers, those chances should be lower. For example, I doubt anyone writing business logic for an API thought "time to implement a linked list!" instead of just importing a built-in linked list or a third-party lib.

Someone writes those libraries. Not you, apparently.

Long and boring necropost, but still I want to add some PoV from inside.

By numbers provided by Rosstat Russia looks somewhat stable, but in reality internal economic there is going to break if it would be treated the same way as for now. Some of the problems:

The real inflation rate is way higher than salary grow, especially in 60-th percentile and below which means 60% of active workers who already have income lower comparable to China are become poorer each day.

Whooping 11+% rate for loans on housing: with quick calculations a family of two working parents who can't apply to a subsidized loan (less than 2 children or both are older than 35) would have to pay 61% of a single average net salary each month for a 2-room apartment outside of Moscow or St. Petersburg and 10% for housing expenditures, so they both have to live on $729 in current exchange rate, which would be not enough to raise a single child.

There was a historical event on the 3rd of December, 2018: average price for Regular Conventional gas in US went below the correspondent mark of gas in Russia and is still lower. Why? Russian oil companies (there are only 3 of them as of now) haven't heard of work efficiency and ROI, but can make citizen pay to them.

The two biggest expenditures in budget from 2017 are military (with other secret parts) and current pensions, the latter is a 20-year of fkups in pension reforms, currently each worker indirectly (employees pay these to government in addition to wages without any reports to employers) sends 22% of their salary to pay current pensions and that covers 30% of them.

Social welfare spending? Education and science fundings were cut twice last year.

Would provide sources if someone asks, I just don't have enough time to lurk back on them to get the links and most of them would show you texts in russian anyway.

Interesting. In the UK we have (or had) a 'hard shoulder' (extra lane unoccupied at all times) on our motorways and some trunk roads for this purpose. The government have decided to get rid of this by moving to what they call 'smart motorways' (repurposing that to a new lane) but without really properly implementing a similar rule change.
This. Network and stick together.

Keep in touch with peers and do similar stuff, be around! Even better have a company together and aim productized consulting.
I'm having trouble finding a more recent source, but as of 2012 that wasn't close to true. It's actually a larger gap than I expected. I'm going to keep researching to see if I can find more recent numbers. Do you happen to have a more recent source?

Strongly disagree. The geographic determinism theory of GG&S is frustrating and ignores significant factors in the rise of the West.

This review is something I generally send out to people after they've read GG&S, and strongly recommend Eric Wolf as an author. He puts many of the points I would make significantly more eloquently:

No, you need to enforce the immigration laws in this case. Increasing the 'incentive' to use illegal immigrants is increasing the incentive to break the law. Typical thinking I suppose. Don't go after the people that break the law, let them break it and create another law to penalize them. This makes no sense to me. And don't say "they're doing it anyway" - that's bullshit. Fine these businesses and arrest the owners for that.

There is no need to tax the rich more even tho this is the penalty du jour. This will do nothing to fix any of this. People need to stop taxing the rich and work to getting rich themselves (taboo here on HN of course).

Your flipping burgers job or grocery bagging job or ditch digging job should not be a career. Because of the fact that those are not careers firstly, and secondly, because they will be automated away. You need to use that as a stepping stone to something better. It is not easy to get rich - it is a long road. But it is one that you should use to better yourself so you can achieve.

There is no incentive with universal income. None with welfare. Sure, let the government provide a minimum safety net, but (as I have learned the hard way) your family and close friends are the ones that should be helping you out. Not the state. Minimum wage is a state imposed artificial penalty pushed on businesses. As a business owner, costs are my enemy and while I offer to provide fair wages for those I employ, having the state impose an artificial cost make business harder. If it continues to get harder, it cannot be maintained.

So, if your goal is to put businesses out of business (who employs you then?), then min wage and tax increases along with cost increases will keep doing that. I'm not talking about mega corps, I'm talking about real businesses. More people need to start their own businesses to see how clear cut all this is. There's a reason companies flee states like California - because the costs to run a business there along with the high taxes make it a difficult place to live. And that's the truth. Just ask anyone who has left..
