A Genius for Being Human
Step 1. Move outside the US
Step 2. Watch your kids's CO2 emissions get divided by 3 by pure magic.

The lifestyle the US society pushes on you and your children pushes you to have much higher CO2 emissions than really useful (airplanes to go everywhere, higher salaries and higher consumption, ...).

So the key is giving more kids those opportunities. Not just some kids.
I found this one too, and registered the .com - lol!
You could increase adoption drastically with the restrictions for example of Beijing. You aren’t allowed to enter the city unless the car is registered in Beijing. You aren’t allowed to drive on certain days depending on your license plate. You can’t just register a car, but it enters a lottery and you wait until you are one of the chosen ones. Though a lot of people buy two cars to be able to drive on any day of the week, an electric car is probably cheaper.
For reference, a 2007 era Apple laptop would be one of these:

- https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook...

- https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-cor...

And you'd be able to run up to 10.11 (El Capitan) on the Pro or 10.7 (Lion) on the MacBook.
Does using multiple cores on a single NIC actually speed up a network connection? If you're doing gigabit with 1500 byte packets, you get 12 ms to encrypt and process each packet -- I'd expect any cross-CPU synchronization to easily blow through that.
Yes I wouldn't wrap a Hashmap or anything I can write myself in less than 100 lines. Particularly if it has a simple and familiar interface.
Yes the systemic cost is the real problem. As our population becomes older, more obese, and more sedentary the costs will keep increasing.

Ultimately I think we're going to need some combination of legislated cost controls and care rationing based on QALYs. Otherwise healthcare will collapse the entire economy. This will all be hugely unpopular.
Cool, just tried it a bit, on firefox it was very slow.
I programmed a chess game for my final for last semester lol. I might just program an AI for it, and submit that as my final, because my teacher said we can add on to our last final and do that for our next final. Do you know any books on chess AI or AI in general that are good?

Yes. No one can know what happens if you start moderating, except unusually inquisitive users or other mods.

> believing conspiracy theories

Not all ideas are equal - and not all brains/people are equipped to deal with them equally.

Your mod team will soon get polarized or even subverted if faced with the kind of crazy work these facebooks mods have to do.

If you are actual community mod, life is slightly better, since there’s more context.
Probably the best result would be a soft leveling off rather than abrupt stoppage in reproduction anywhere.
Interestingly, some historians claim the Black Plague in Britain/England caused a disruption which later on cascaded in such way to allow the the transition from feudalism to more capital intensive economics (same wealth distributed among fewer heirs).
The term "pilot error" is outdated, and suggests blame. "Human performance factors" is usual way to describe such mishaps.
>If you're unsure? Have children. Someone's bound to survive the apocalypse. Maybe it'll be your genetic material.

Huh? What?

... I don't really understand why I would care if my "genetic material" survives a future apocalypse vs some other rando's "genetic material?" or anyone's "genetic material" for that matter.

This is an especially bizarre reason for having children.

This is [unfortunately] correct. If you marry your company's destiny to AWS, their managed products are far more cost-effective than using them as a datacenter [no doubt this is intentional by Amazon]. If you're just using the EC2 services, much like owning the hardware, unused CPU and RAM is wasted money.
> there will be tons of people who will never touch it

Having spent some time in the southern central U.S. in the past, this is right on the money. Preserving the cornerstones of the culture they grew up with is orders of magnitude more important to some of these people than just about any other criteria.

However, their children are increasingly realizing the ridiculousness of it and making smarter choices. This results in them doubling down, further entrenching themselves and becoming more alienated from 'outsiders'. Eventually it will stabilize down to a handful of freaks left with their little collection of hobbies they manage to get a tiny fraction of folks interested in every generation, and the rest of the world will have long since moved on.
I disagree. The article itself may not have much meat to it, but the discussion it has sparked is definitely worth the time to read.

There is a lot of back and forth in the comments about software design and workflow practices. I think this kind of discourse is extremely valuable.
TradeLens: Blockchain for Shipping by Maersk and IBM
See, this FEELS like a simple choice - but think of the implications of what you're saying.

If existing is flat out always better than not - and I want to note this is NOT about suicide (ending existence) but about creating the existence in the first place) - then you're saying the moral thing is to have as many children as possible. For everyone.

Taken to a hyperbolic extreme, this is clearly ridiculous. But this isn't a strawman argument - the point is not to say "I'm right", but to find what we're really valuing. If we can all agree that drowning the world in babies that live short lives of misery is laughably ridiculous, then where is the serious argument? Finding a happy medium where we should have as many people as we can sustainably?

Is creating distinct human existences REALLY something of inherent value? Are those of us choosing to be childless for whatever reason immoral?
It's quite clever, too, as it likely encourages setups that are pretty inefficient on long-term AWS spend.
Better yet: a whole pile of microservices, preferably in node.js that tries to re-invent supervision trees and of course on Kubernetes.

If you want to re-invent the whole Erlang eco-system you should just switch and call it a day, the chances that a company that needs to get a job done will be able to pull this off successfully as a side project are nil.
Why JSXBelPack when you can

import { html, render } from 'https://unpkg.com/lit-html';

const benefitTpl = ({name, desc}) => html`
<dt>${name}</dt>
<dd>${desc}</dd>

render(html`
<lit-rocks>
<dl>${benefits.map(benefitTpl)}</dl>
</lit-rocks>`, document.body)

And updates are fast without any VDOM overhead.
I'd add, if the API is meant to implement a protocol but doesn't implement it quite correctly, you may object to the misimplementation, but if your code has to work with the implementation, you have to adapt to their bug. It's not even a matter of undocumented behavior.

Experienced recently as a consumer of an API when letsencrypt made a breaking change to implement the protocol correctly. Broke my code which relied on their original incorrect implementation.
I get your point, but it's much more complex than that.

Leaving aside the issues with directly comparing plant milk with actual milk, the economics are not what you lay out. Oat milk is really yet another industrial corn product. The caloric content isn't cloudy stuff squeezed into water, it's fructose from corn. In the quest for price stability, corn subsidy is one of the main knobs used by USDA from a subsidy and policy standpoint.

I haven't done a deep analysis of this, but I do buy milk from a farm with a smallish herd and a direct-to-producer model that allows the farmer to actually operate his own dairy and sell milk at a profit. Even with the small scale of the operation, milk costs about $6/gallon. When you buy milk from a scaled dairy operation, the economies of scale are massive... you have 1-2 processing plants handling the milk of tens of thousands of cows.

The plant milk phenomenon is all about allowing massive agribusiness to take over a big product category that has remained regional.
lit-html is great!

- no build step

- ergonomic

- fast

- flexible

- useful whether alone or in a library/framework wrapper (see LitElement, https://lit-element.polymer-project.org/, Haunted, https://github.com/matthewp/haunted, et al.)

Getting just about all the convenience of JSX with the ability to have your templates run in pure JS in the browser, with no build step is pretty rad. Even if the difference is just a few seconds here or there, multiply that by the amount of work I'm supposed to be getting done in a day, and it starts to add up.

It's also nice to have control over whether to work with attributes or properties. A level of control that is mirrored by having direct access to event binding (rather than an abstraction of it) so you can pin down whatever custom events you might be passing around your application.

Maybe that's my favorite part, you get control. Whether via the time you get back, the say you have over your templates, the interoperability of your code, you have it with lit-html in a way that JSX hasn't really allowed me to in my experiences with it.
Second, the bill would regulate the prices that the hospital could charge for its care, limiting the fees to 150 percent of the Medicare price or the average contracted rate in the area, whichever is greater.

Seems like this will start to solve the chicken and egg problem. Hospitals charge more because insurance will pay more. Insurance costs more because hospitals charge more.

Shameless yellow journalism!

The text of the article says the actual quote is "And it does lead young people to have a legitimate question: Is it OK to still have children?". Which is sympathizing with an audience rather than contemplating decrees. But then it's written up as a strongly polarizing narrative, entirely tangential to the context of the original quote!

I'm not trying to defend Ocasio-Cortez here - in fact, I actually dislike her... but I'm willing to admit that my current opinion has been "informed" entirely by these baseless bullshit headlines! I am obviously not wed to this opinion, and I will have to do my own research some time - the point is that many won't.

It might be interesting if HN completely changed its policy on titles. What if rather than trying to be true to the "original" title (ie optimized to enrage), the goal was to make a passive description of the subject under discussion. Perhaps even one longer-lasting thread per topic. We sit here talking about the sorry state of online discourse, yet even here the clickbaiters get the substance of their bait directly embedded on the front page - and every time it's clicked-through, it validates the strategy.
The problem is two-sided. Yes the costs paid by the hospital, and the cost of the techniques and tools used by the hospital are all too high, because the system does not properly incentivize finding lower cost solutions that may be equally effective and safe.

In this case the problem is exacerbated by the way that privately insured patients are being exploited to subsidize publicly insured patients;

“A hospital spokesperson initially told Vox that the hospital’s focus is on serving those with public health coverage, even if that means offsetting those costs with high bills for the privately insured.”

It should be illegal to charge two different people different prices for the same procedure at the same hospital. At a more granular level, it should be illegal to price discriminate on anything that can be itemized.

The middle and upper class patients are exploited to pay for publically insured patients who get service below cost which the hospital can’t legally turn away.

Cancer is a class of well identified diseases. Like a bacterial infection.

There are many types of cancer just like there are many types of bacterial infection. But they are both well identified. We can see the cancer cells and bacteria, and when they are gone, the patient is cured.

Mental illnesses are more like the "flu-like syndrome". The causes can range from leukemia to heroin withdrawal to a wide variety of viral infections like AIDS, the common cold, and of course, the flu. You can treat the symptoms with Tylenol but we can't really call that a disease, more like the symptoms of a yet undiscovered disease.
Hello!

I thought it would be interesting to play with some of the incentives underlying social content aggregation.

The idea is to measure content by its value to users and to enable contributors to be rewarded for sharing high-value content.

I tried to cater the design to mobile devices and one-on-one interactions.

Because of the dollar barrier, the vast majority of posts and replies won't have any votes. Content that actually generates activity should hopefully be interesting and different from what's surfaced by unqualified popularity.

Other notes:

- replies are just posts

- accounts are optional

- light/dark theme (click the arrow icon)

- Vue SPA + Firebase with plans to move to SSR (Nuxt)
The top earners are addicted to easy return on investment and can't envision a world where they can't rely on growth to deepen their pockets.

Given their already tremendous wealth, they are powerful enough to brainwash the rest of us into helping them (hence the song above).

When I joined a particular startup 4 years ago I was surprised that they owned their own servers mounted in racks in a rented colo. I was all, how retro! But then the head of IT showed me the cost savings over AWS and how he orchestrated it all using VMWare images, and I saw he had a point. He saved more than enough money to pay for his full time salary to keep it all going, even dealing with hardware maintenance. What was unique was that the company had a predictable load that didn't change much. If we had needed to change capacity level drastically over a regular cycle then AWS would have started to make sense.
I objected to it at first.

Then I learned how much nicer Javascript is with Babel.

No worrying about browser compatibility, Babel just makes it all work.

If I see some stage 3 proposal that I want to use, no problem, drop it in.

When I wanted to start moving over to Typescript, one line in Babel and I could start writing .ts files.

While learning what in the world was going in with regards to Babel was a bit of a painful start, now that I have it up and running, life is good.

I wish Hypercard had managed to survive as a default install on Macs. It's the perfect first development environment for kids IMHO. You can learn the basics by reading the source in any stack (including the home stack) and there's enough depth that you won't get immediately bored with it. Plus your applications (stacks) are graphical right from the start so it doesn't feel like you're back in the 80s and being amazed when it scrolls out "Hello World" indefinitely.

Making the Roadmap agile is quite difficult in some orgs.

Also, there are budgeting committees that tend not to think of themselves as agile, or take kindly to being told what to do or how to operate, and they put constraints on the whole thing.
> namespaces have no such a simple model. How can I run program from other user but give it some special rights to access this git-repo in my home directory?

In Linux terminology, launch the program in a new mount namespace with a rw-bind mount to your home directory. You can do this with firejail, bubblewrap, or minijail easily and without a config file.

My grandfather, who was an ophthalmologist with a passion for inventing, has shown me schematics for this kind of glass. His idea was that you could put it in places that are sunny but not warm (like a mountain hotel) to allow for indoor sunbathing.

This. If you can predict your workload with some accuracy, and have someone who knows how to design systems- you can save a lot of money. AWS' value is that "we can do everything except write your code for you" which you end up paying a lot for.
Obviously not? Looking at your brain is not the same as executing it. You'd just be looking at pictures.

It'd be more like calling a function that reformats it own source code.

My personal preference is Surfshark. It's a relatively new VPN but over several months it was improved a lot. They released native apps for all major platforms, unblocked Netflix and other streaming services for various countries. Went through an audit by Cure53 to test their browser extension security (got a good review at that). The only setback I can think of is the number of servers, 800+ so that's not a lot comparing to some other providers. Overall IMHO it's a high quality software.

> How is that possible.

Because we view the right of free political speech as vastly more important that peoples feelings.

I'm not saying people don't get their feelings hurt over political speech, they do. I'm saying that it doesn't matter and the speaker doesn't have to change what they are saying as a result. Per typical western values anyways, you are of course free to disagree. That doesn't make people racist, it has nothing to do with race (or nationality/political association/anything else).

> Well, if you are not from China, then do not doubt how I would quantify the impact.

No. This is wrong in a few ways

- Accepting a random internet persona's statements as truth without evidence is obviously ridiculous - particularly when there are known to be paid actors influencing the discussion.

- Lack of first hand experience does not mean you can't make reasonable inferences about the situation.

- One persons on the ground experience does not generalize to a billion people.

That said, I don't really particularly care to debate whether or not a substantial number of peoples feelings were hurt. I don't think it's important and I don't think it's a discussion that is likely to result in any useful progress in anyone's understanding of the situation.

The Wright Brothers developed a wind tunnel and many models on their way to first flight. Same concept for getting to the moon.

Those large scale projects were not done in a Waterfall fashion, they were done iteratively with models/simulations/prototypes produced along the way.
FWIW, I've never actually seen that in real-world React code-- neither in libraries I've used, nor in my own code. It's more common (and much more natural) to see JSX Elements passed as children to other components, like you see with a react-bootstrap Panel, for example:

<Panel>
<Panel.Heading>Foobar</Panel.Heading>
<Panel.Body>
Panel body contents
</Panel.Body>
<Panel>

Which is itself just passing the Panel.Heading and Panel.Body elements as an array to Panel's children prop, but it's much more natural than having some arbitrarily complex hierarchy of elements passed in another prop.
If you look at her projects, a lot of it is very MAKER / IOT / ARDUINO focused.

She is pretty awesome and has a significant following helping people with fun projects.

I don't think the stream would work as well if she was a C++ developer at a giant company just streaming her day job.

I've streamed some Wordpress Development I've done, and its surprising the amount of people who hop in and ask questions. Usually because they are wanting to create their own plugin for the first time, or have a specific problem that they are hoping the streamers project will give an insight on.

Anything that touches Dates and Calendars seems to get an audience really fast.
