I think it isn't a case of "nobody knew" so much as "everybody was in deep denial". Black lung was long known along with the effects of poor air as not good for your health.

I have noticed a chain of rationalization cropping up a lot with preventable human health crises - often on a generational time scale.
The sequence seems to be similiar to an ironic reshuffled subsection of stages of grief.

1. Bargining: "Yeah it is bad but is better than the alternative." (It makes money/keeps us from freezing to death.)
2. Acceptance: "It is a neccessity now." (Most of our industrial and personal exonomy is dependent on it.)
3. Denial: "It can't be harmful!"
4. Anger: "How could we know that it was bad?"

right - except you can do this outside the database also, in code. But there is something about the rigor/pain-level of writing the in-DB functions that tends to make them change less. It is equally possible with external code, but the mental modal has to create expectations for your environment.
This honestly strikes me as getting close to doable. For Amazon to do next-day and same-day shipping with reasonable efficiency, they clearly have gotten good at this on a statistical basis, as the stuff needs to be in the warehouse in advance of shipping.

A plausible next step to me is something like the Amazon Corner Store, where they have neighborhood caches of goods. I go to order something and they say, "Hey, we figured you might want that, so it's just down the street if you want to pick it up now, or we'll drop it off later today." Or once self-driving improves a little more, maybe a mobile truck-sized warehouse with delivery bots, so they get delivery times down to 10 minutes or so.

And for the future, they have huge historical baselines for a lot of customers; I've been using them for more than 20 years. Most of the day their software sits in my pocket, so it wouldn't be hard for them to start collecting the sort of sensor data that gives them a very good idea of my activities and metabolic stats. It seems entirely believable to me that they could know that, for example, colds are going around, that sensor data indicates I'm going to feel the symptoms soon, and to dispatch a delivery robot with a package of tissues, OJ, and Nyquil.

Working with circles seems weird. I would have computed a Voronoi tessellation with Fortune's algorithm (also n log n) and colored the result with OpenGL triangles. Even better would be to estimate traffic density of the roads based on road type and some measure of centricity/connectedness and also weight the resulting values with that. A small central spot sourrounded by small streets may be calmer than a large peripheral one right next to a high way.

UBI is substantially different than just handing out cash. The basic premise:

1) It is sufficient to provide a "basic" level of income
2) It is more efficient than targeted welfare programs (medicare, medicaid, food stamps, etc)
3) Community outcomes are improved by way of economic (retraining / small business starting), health (less stress / more treatment) and poverty (less stress = smarter financial choices)

So far, I haven't seen any experiment actually test any of those things. I don't know of any where participation has been contingent upon giving up other programs (so we don't know if it's better than targeted welfare), and none have lasted long enough to know if any behavior changes were influenced by the knowledge that the cash was going to be cut off in the future.

As such, I haven't seen much "success" in the way of UBI experiments.

I don't believe in the numbers the nuclear industry publishes.
As long as you don't drop dead inside one of their reactors, they don't count nuclear energy as the reason (not surprising, if i were in their shoes I'd probably do the same).

By the way, why are solar panels and wind turbines missing in the list? It's awfully misleading.

Without the real-world applications a lot of this could seem dry and boring or irrelevant.

Many years ago I went through teacher training, and one of the biggest things you learn is to always make material relevant to students by linking abstract concepts to real-world applications they actually care about.

It is true that in writing an article like this, you need to be very careful with your wording to distinguish between things that "appear like", "are similar to", "suggest", or even "is a first-order approximation of", versus stating that this is the model of epidemiology, forest fires, etc. (which needs citations, etc.). But in this particular article, the examples seem fairly straightforward as first-order approximations -- curious what sentences you're specifically objecting to?
Exactly what I was thinking.

I'd expect it to be quite high (deaths per TWh) while the technology is new or advancing fast, both because the energy production will be low, and because there must be more risk in newer industrial-scale technologies.

Deaths per TWh in Offshore wind vs Onshore wind production would be interesting to see too.

In fairness, 5-cent coke came about because of an unwise contract in which Coke promised syrup to a bottling company for <5 cents, under the impression that bottled drinks would never take off. The ad campaign followed, from coke (not the bottler selling the cokes), as an attempt to keep the bottler from raising prices, because at that point Coke only profited from sales volume, not increases in retail price.

This only hurt them after they managed to buy back bottling rights, but the 5 cent coke ads had become deeply entrenched.

I am in the same boat. I have called and begged and pleaded and escalated to get Amazon to stop using USPS but it just doesn't work. Here in Brooklyn if anything is unusually large they just punch in "attempted delivery" a couple days in a row and send it back. They don't even bother trying, I'm pretty sure it never even leaves the regional sort facility and gets on a truck.

I'm not sure I blame them. Amazon once used USPS to send me half a dozen office chairs. I called Amazon as soon as I saw the shipping update and said there's zero chance whatsoever they will ever reach my door. Nothing they could do. I just ordered from another vendor the same day and waited the inevitable 2-3 weeks for the Amazon order to work its way through the system and back to Amazon without delivery ever attempted.

It's one of a few things that perplex me about Amazon. Like why can't I just flag a shipping method as unusable. Why can't I search for stuff only sold by Amazon. Why can't you fucking stop selling fake chargers and headphones?

But what do I know about running a multi billion dollar business right?
The headline is click bait. It's not "most of the plastic in the ocean", it's "most of the plastic in the ocean that comes from rivers". And that long rivers from more densely populated areas would contribute more is hardly surprising.

Iirc, most of the plastic isn't even from rivers. It's from the fishing industry, illegal trash dumping and the wear on car tires.

> The causes of anthropogenic climate change are extremely well documented and easily measureable, and "reduce the amount of carbon put into the air and recapture carbon already in the air if possible" isn't very complicated, just expensive.

An honest question: If I were to go about convincing myself of anthropogenic climate change and possibly that these changes would lead to a horrible future for humankind, where should I look? What should I read? Which videos to watch?

The mainstream media portrays the science as settled, i.e., anthropogenic climate change is real and horrible consequences will follow, even though it isn't difficult to find disagreeing opinions - both from people on the fringes and from Nobel-winning scientists. I hear convincing arguments from both sides.

I should mention that I am extremely sceptical of anything the state does, so I am biased against any solution involving the state. I fear that the fight against anthropogenic climate change is just another tool to increase state power, like the war on drugs or the war on poverty.
Translation: we're not going to be able to significantly increase production volumes soon, so may as well stop leaving money on the table.
Because your comment is not contributing.

Linksys produces and advertises a "best of the best" router with inbuilt alternative NAS feature that not only is so poorly maintained that it's insecure but also unusable by modern OS.

Some people find that appalling because they want a basic NAS without breaking the bank and more "stuff" lying around, expecting a high end router to cheaply fill that gap.

Some other people will find it appalling because it shows how little Linksys actually cares about the product and security as a whole.
Aside from actual numbers those are very different businesses. Manufacturing vs service.

For a manufacturing company cutting costs is hard. If they reduce production they lose lots of scale effects. Supply contracts become more expensive etc.

Uber can to some degree easily pull out of competive markets and focus on high margin markets. At some point they damage their brand, but zu there is room.
> This tool is based on strong mathematical theory of patches

Is this a good thing? What practical problems does a strong mathematical theory of patches solve that git doesn’t? And what’s the difference between a commit and a patch? Aren’t git commits stored as patches?

I’m a math lover, but my gut reaction to that idea is that it sounds off-putting. I don’t mean that as a judgement or insult; I’m admitting my own assumption and bias here, jumping to unwarranted conclusion, not saying anything is wrong with pijul. But when the elevator sales pitch is “strong math”, it immediately makes me assume it’s too technical for a normal programmer and focused on academic ideals rather than getting practical work done as easily as possible.

The FAQ even says, “Pijul is trivial for whoever knows category theory.” Is that question really asked frequently? Words like that might convince me to never try it. ;)
Are you actually getting one day deliveries in a day? I always got two day deliveries on time before the switch, but so far the vast majority of my one day shipping items are coming late. It's not a big sample size, but 7/9 were or are currently late.
I believe it. A lot of people don’t care in the slightest what the price of the car is. All that matters is the monthly payment. I’ve talked to people who had no idea what their car cost. I had one memorable conversation with someone comparing cars. They asked what mine cost, I gave the price, and they said, no, what’s your payment? I had purchased the car outright and so we had no way to compare, besides trying to reverse engineer financing numbers.
Which to be honest they should have flat out stated that inflationary pressure had led to raising it and just ate the bad press which would bled off much quicker than forever acting apologist not to customers some of who may move on but instead they were always reacting to influencers and you can never win that game.

I own a LR TM3 and am still happy with it to the point it really sleights my point of view to any gasoline powered vehicle or item. I still think they make the best EV at their price point.

tl;dr

Just be upfront with the price increases and eat the bad press once and quit reacting to influencers and people trying to short the stock

Why do western countries try to reduce plastic waste? Because they want to take their responsibility in reducing the amount of plastic that ends up in the oceans. Of course other countries should do that too, with help if necessary, but only pointing at other people isn't going to fix this; you need to do your own part too.
I really dislike their headline "It goes completely against what most believe, but out of all major energy sources, nuclear is the safest" because it ignores solar, water and wind energy which is likely to be the safest and far from insignificant today and in the future.

Ask HN: How can I generate side income?
Hi HN,

I work in a company with very low income. I find myself often struggling to buy any luxuries/pay off debt after my paycheck comes in.

I have free time which I just spend surfing YouTube, Facebook, and watching videos. I need to turn this fun time into money time.

What are some ways I could turn my time into money?
The current iPhone 8 is at $599 / $699, assuming Apple drop its price by $100 this year to $499 / $599, replacing the iPhone 7 $449 / $569 ( While lifting the entry level price yet again by $50 ). How well would this compete with Pixel 3a? I believe A11 Single Core will still be faster than the flagship current Qualcomm SoC. But its Camera and Design are quite dated.

>The Pixel 3a packs a slower processor and plastic construction, among other changes, to bring the price down a ton.

I don't believe Metal casing makes much difference in BOM Cost. The processor is at best, $50 Dollar different? POCOPHONE F1 can be had for under $400 ( £ 329 in UK inc VAT ) with a more powerful SoC. So I assume Google is still making some decent margin at this price.

It is no wonder people are questioning Apple's pricing. The price Gap has never been this wide. I hope Google does well with its 3A.
> I never said that.

Understood. (: I was mostly going on a tangent there, where I was responding to the kind of comments my OG comment in this thread responded to.

> If you are powerful, because your people work hard and efficient, why do you have to invade other countries?

Perhaps because a country is funding terrorist attacks against you and/or preparing nuclear weapons or ICBMs to attack you with?

> Because they are a threat to your prosperity, because they don't sell you their ressources at a price you want?

I'm very against force retaliation for things that are not force initiation. That's not what I meant so perhaps I should elaborate, although it's a red herring away from my main point: what is included in acting like an empire is anything that expands a nation's influence and domination. That doesn't specify the use of force. So something like having trade wars with countries that refuse to stop ignoring copyright and subsidizing their own products in a dubious way, would be included in acting like an empire. And since those countries are leveraging state power to control the market, why shouldn't the US be allowed to retaliate in kind, since that's apparently OK?

(Side note: I don't think we should have started the trade wars, personally. I think it's an unfortunate circumstance for the economy. But I think doing that kind of thing, once again, is an inevitable necessity for a state because it has to prove it can't be taken advantage of).

> Note that many people think, that terrorism is the answer because their land was exploited.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean here.
