"with Chief Executive Elon Musk touting that the electric car now carries the long-promised $35,000 price tag—when including discounts and gas savings."

How do gas savings reduce the price tag of an electric car?
That’s only how it works in theory. No city actually has a blinded lottery system for equitable pickups. In practice, drivers just discriminate on who looks likely to tip more when demand is hot, and this is very hard to police.

Price controls rarely have this ideal outcome.
This just sounds like bullying to me.
I really like the phrase "anti-consumerist undertow!" but I also visualized it in the opposite way - consumerism as the undertow, and "Tidying Up" as the "swim parallel to shore until you're out" advice.
EVE is just the name of an area in the game where humans came through into this "new world".

it differs by local municipality, but generally taxis can be hailed on the street and livery/ride services can't.
Our economy and intellectual progress is massively predicated on specialisation of labor. When I consider any single aspect of our life, even something as "simple" as how elevators work, it's astounding the amount of complexity that goes into it. Complexity that we can handle because we divvy it up amongst many many people who are completely specialized in understanding and fulfilling that task.

Gradual increases in population don't really scare me. Technological progress has always scaled with population, and technology can free us of natural resource constraints. But in a world of shrinking population, entire fields of practical human knowledge and know-how can be lost forever.

That's interesting. I've heard the exact opposite opinion somewhere, that the education of women doesn't have as big an effect as anticipated by the models, especially in Africa.

This graphs shows it

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/womens-educational-attain...

For some countries like India or China, the effect is very strong. Just a few years of education drastically reduce the number of children, but for other countries like Uganda or Zambia the effect is much smaller. The original source where I first heard this (which I sadly can't find again) claimed this was due women wanting almost as many children as men in these countries.
The easy: Drink more water. Stretch regularly.

The habits to change: Eat breakfast. Cherish loved ones.

The difficult: Empathize with your employer; understand how they (don't) value you. Contemplate the evanescence of your work; it will all someday fade away, and you must come to terms with this fact.
Bart Ehrman is not the most conservative scholar. He's also been known by peers to have two faces, depending on who he's dealing with, whether his audience is academic or pop.

Bruce Metzger is a far more reliable (and recognized) guide, regardless of religious inclination. At worst, you will have a more balanced perspective after reading Metzger, and at best you will see where Ehrman has let you down.

"Over 100s of years and many errors" is pseudo-science. It makes for a Dan Brown novel for the uninitiated, but it doesn't fit the facts. Few mainstream scholars today would deny the accuracy of the New Testament documents, nor their 1st century authorship and dating.
RV toilets work well, thus flush into a tank with a cup of water. The tank will hold a few days worth of waste. If you know what to look for places to dump are all over. Camping websites often have lists. Many rest areas have a dump station. Camping/sporting stores will have a place to dump. Many cities sewage departments have a public dump... If you are not looking for a place to dump you won't see all this, but if you are looking there are plenty of places.
I think considering it an actual belief in "free speech" is giving them too much credit. It's a shield the hateful hide behind, that's all. The people screaming loudest about free speech are more than happy to shut down the rights of others.

Several years ago, I got over my burnout by changing my work environment. I left a demanding job with equally demanding coworkers for a job which I was slightly overqualified for with coworkers who appreciated me and what I do. Completing simple tasks that I could do quickly resulted in positive reinforcement which reconditioned my brain to associate work with positive outcomes. Getting things done felt good again.

There's a lot of different kinds of burnout, so this might not apply to every case, but going through this episode taught me the value of positive reinforcement.

I think the most recent flashpoint was the deplatforming of Sargon of Akkad (Carl Benjamin). He accused white supremacists of acting like "white niggers" on a youtube livestream. In context, I think he meant this as an ironic insult. According to Patreon, this violated their rules on hate speech and they closed his account.

This caused a backlash; some believed the account closure was politically motivated (Sargon is an anti-feminist, pro gamergate commentator). Some have also found it alarming that Patreon has essentially decided to police their speech in general (e.g. comments made in a youtube video, in a tweet etc.), rather than just on their own site. A number of prominent content creators have closed down their accounts in response, stating they can't trust Patreon to not deplatform them in the future for some perceived infraction. Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson are probably the most prominent of these (13th and 16th highest patron counts respectively). Here's what Sam Harris said:

"As many of you know, the crowdfunding site Patreon has banned several prominent content creators from its platform. While the company insists that each was in violation of its terms of service, these recent expulsions seem more readily explained by political bias. Although I don’t share the politics of the banned members, I consider it no longer tenable to expose any part of my podcast funding to the whims of Patreon’s 'Trust and Safety' committee."

And here's a NYT article on the issue: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/24/technology/patreon-hate-s...
> I would say that's less fundamental than answering "give me the exact state of the repo at time t"

This is indeed a very important question when you're working alone, but the notion of "at time t" changes when many people work in parallel. This is why Pijul has two notions of time:

- Patches, which always commute when produced in parallel.
- The sequences of patches applied locally to a branch.

Alice and Bob working together can have the same patches and a different application order, what matters for the contents of their file is the set of patches only.

> Of course the hashes won't be the same but does that matter?

It does matter a lot sometimes, for instance if you cherry-pick, solve a conflict, and cherry pick again from the same branch, the fact that Git changes the hashes will make the conflict reappear the second time you cherry-pick.
I think the old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" rings true here.

You're 100% right and as an American I'm proud that you can't be jailed for saying something stupid. Free speech has several restrictions in the US, and anyone who says it is "totally unrestricted" is simply showing their ignorance of the actual restrictions in place.

Inciting violence with your speech is a crime, and all the free speech in the world will not protect you from the backlash from private citizens and organizations. It just means the government can't lock you in a cage for saying something idiotic like "the Holocaust never happened."
> And yet.. quantum mechanics managed to break the most certain of all principles.

That's false. Quantum logic satisfies the principle of non-contradiction (the logical property described in the quotation from Aristotle).

The mistake you're making is misinterpreting the superposition of p and ~p, which is a combination of being p with some probability and ~p with some probability, with the simultaneous possession of p and ~p with certainty in both cases. Quantum mechanics doesn't say the latter is possible.

I had a company that seriously wanted to hire me and had me chat to a VP after a few other employees. They said they would let me know next steps in a few days, it's been over 30 days now. Ghosting happens all over.
>I was fortunate enough to attend a ruling class college a long time ago. I graduated from a high school where the required history course was simply propaganda. The teacher never asked for the slightest bit of critical thinking. That's 2019 me reflecting on the experience of 1969 me. 1969 me thought it was over-the-top boring.

It hasn't gotten any better. I went to highschool a couple decades ago. My brother went to highschool in an adjacent state. I later found out that I got a version of history where the state where I attended school was portrayed as a utopia from the nanosecond the first European set foot on it. He got something that was more nuanced (to put it charitably). It's quite frankly disgusting how much is left out of history curriculum because it's inconvenient to the ideology of the average person on the committee that determines the curriculum.

I think the word "quietly" has now developed all kinds of insinuations and borders on editorializing.

My recommendation is to read the academic sources, not the guy who simplified materials to an extent that things are lost in the translation leading to misrepresentation and misunderstanding.

Also, always read the negative reviews. Sometime, they are bunk, but they sometime can be very informative.
I’m somewhat surprised by the tone of surprise in this article/interview.

While I still frequently see references to “out-of-control population growth” among laypeople here on HN or on Twitter, often in reference to Africa, I have long gotten the impression that the scientific and political communities have turned to models showing drastically lower birth rates coinciding with increased development.

Lower infant mortality, access to birth control, and social safety nets that do not rely on immediate family are obvious factors here.

This is umabigoulsy good news, unless you posit a harm from not being born. In any case, it’s unlikely that humanity is going to disappear of its own choosing.
People can also be polite and professional up until they completely stab you in the back.

The company is just made up of people, and so while some of those people can be your friends, oftentimes others have completely selfish aims.

From a position of power you can give and take, but many people pull the bullshit "We are a family" bit to eke out that extra work for no extra pay.

Not sure what timing attacks you are talking about.

Having traffic analysis in your threat model is an extreme choice, typically it means your adversaries include law enforcement agencies or state-level actors. Sending DNS over VPN might just mean that you don’t trust your ISP and think they might intercept the request and forge a response—something which does happen, and I’ve personally observed it at two different ISPs.

> Inciting violence with your speech is a crime

Only if you go ahead and openly shout "kill that Jew", for example. The hidden ways to incite hatred in the masses with speech are perfectly legal, most of these even in Europe.

> It just means the government can't lock you in a cage for saying something idiotic like "the Holocaust never happened."

Denying the Holocaust is not just idiotic, it is an outright denial of provable facts and an immense disrespect to all the victims of the gas ovens at Auschwitz and the other KZs.

In Germany, Holocaust denial is expressly forbidden by law for the latter reason.

Politics is not a truth-seeking exercise. It's no science, law or even journalism. It's an allegiance & authority forming exercise.

This is partly true. Politics is - by definition - an allegiance-forming exercise. Whether it informs authority depends on existing power structures. But I don't see how that contradicts the section you quoted. Do you disagree with the prior premise "people lacking facts are susceptible to manipulation" or the latter "independent access is sufficient defense against manipulation"?

Personally, I still agree with the former, and regarding the latter I think that independent access to information is a required but not sufficient defense against manipulation.

The second requirement, as better explained by my sibling nerdponx, is having the skillset to independently evaluate that information. For me, this is where the education system has been systematically failing us (btw I'm European, and I don't believe Europe fares much better in this respect. We're lagging ten years behind maybe, but heading the same direction).

Then there's the third requirement: time. In order to have a healthy democratic society, every citizen needs information, the skills to analyze that information, and the time to analyze and incorporate that information. To me, this is where our attention-stealing economy is failing us: every media interruption, every six-second soundbite, every screaming ad brings us further away from a healthy society.

And it's not as if I have any solution for that, other than pi-holing every aspect of the modern web and disconnecting most consumer media offerings. But my personal solution will not change the world.

When a question is political enough

I'd rephrase that as "when a question is emotional enough". The reduction of politics to emotion is very much a modern phenomenon, and, I fear, one that will ultimately bring down our society. But not all of politics is emotion, and it certainly isn't the politics we should aspire to.
I'm a little disappointed that the piece highlights unusual work environments like Google and Facebook and cites them as examples that things have changed in the last twenty years. A big part of what made the film work for me was that it took on the common case, not the exceptional. I understand that a lot of developers work for these top-tier companies but I suspect the majority work in environments that, even today, still look a lot like Office Space.

The gist of the article is that little has changed and I am tempted to agree. My work environment is better, but not everyones. My partner reports to an ineffective manager and a VP who emails over the weekend, expecting to see work product early the next Monday morning; there is a clear implication they should be working during the weekend. A friend of mine was complaining recently about a manager asking them if it was "good for the company" to be upgrading various software products on a schedule or if it was more about making their own job easier. And so on.
It's a little harder to wrap your head around for sure.

But the benefit is tighter encapsulation of functionalities. No longer do we have to spread a feature's logic across multiple lifecycle methods that may share that space with logic from other features.

As soon as people start rolling out "free speech" in a conversation about business policy the entire conversation is lost.

Free speech does not apply to private business. Enforcing free speech to a private business is closer to a form of government oppression than it is freedom.

The United States has done a great job of brainwashing its population to think that "freedom" is universally the best thing. It's not. In many scenarios freedom actually comes from oppressing someone else (and it's no surprise that oppression is basically the cornerstone of the United States).

There are just about zero websites out there that adhere to truly "free" speech because it's nearly impossible. Doubly so if you want to make a profit. Even 4chan has rules about what you can say there, believe it or not.

Tech companies sometimes demand signing a non-disparagement or other legal agreement in exchange for severance. Companies with the fake "unlimited vacation" policy give you nothing for that.
The bitstream is an important milestone but it normally takes years of optimization for a codec to really hit peak quality. There are many decisions to be made during the encoding process which have an impact on file size, quality for specific content types, required decoder resources, etc. The first generation implementations often produce files which are notably larger because they're doing the simplest, most conservative encoding process and subsequent tools may have far more sophisticated optimizations.

If it's more familiar, think of it as similar to saying that the x86 or ARM instruction set has been finalized: the first generation will work but over time every component will be optimized to improve certain areas and there will be tailored versions for specific applications (e.g. video codecs used in chat have hard latency requirements while Netflix can afford a LOT of optimization time for a file which will be streamed a billion times).
