If the gold is mixed or chemically bonded, you are delivering rock, and there's plenty of gold in the rock beneath your feet, it is just not worth the cost to extract.

In spite of our individualism, most Americans still stop at red lights and wait for--sometimes inordinately long--lengths of time for it to turn green before proceeding despite there being no cross traffic and no practical reason why they should. They do this even if they know there is no enforcement or traffic camera.

They do this because they are educated and have the value inculcated in them very early on that "red means stop and green means go." They also learn that behaving in compliance with this rule is critical for the orderly functioning of society. Interestingly, when people are out of their cars, suddenly their ideas about the iron law of traffic lights get way more loosey-goosey. Part of this is because they sense, deep down, that the traffic laws aren't designed with non-car road users in mind, so cyclists think it makes more sense to treat red lights as stop signs and pedestrians resent not being able to walk wherever and however they please.

But a bigger part of it is that all the social conditioning is based on driving and not on walking. So that deep-down sense of "This is wrong" that keeps people in line doesn't exist once they're out of their cars. This guidance even applies in the car for signage that isn't common. Stop signs and traffic lights are explained to you from when you're a child. But Yield signs and 4 way stops are not always and, consequently, you see a lot less compliance among drivers on this front.

In places like Japan, it's not some property of the "communitarian culture" that magically makes people more likely to pick up after themselves. It's drilled into them from childhood. Kids are expected to tidy up at home by themselves. It's a standard part of the pre-K and early childhood education to clean up your spaces regardless of who made the mess. And when the cleaning staff comes by to do the deep cleaning, the children are generally told to THANK THEM for their contributions rather than taking them for granted.

Culture isn't some exogenous force that falls out of the sky or is bred into our genes. It emerges as a consequence of how we socially condition ourselves, what we teach our kids, what we expect from each other, and what we are willing to put up with. To put up with shitty aspects of our own cultures rather than adapting or changing is a choice we make.

>We have a pretty good idea of which people are trustworthy (or capable, or dependable, or any other characteristic) in our daily lives //

We really don't. People get surprised all the time that someone had an affair, or cheated, or ripped someone off, or whatever. "But I trusted you" ...

It's actually relatively easy to fool people in to trusting you, as many red team members will probably confirm.

Look at someone like Boris Johnson, people are trusting him to lead the country knowing that he's well known to betray people's trust and that he even had a court case lodged against him based on his very blatant lying to the entire country. You can even watch the video of him being interviewed where the interviewers says (paraphrasing) "but we all know that's a half truth" and BoJo just pushes it and pushes it and refuses to accept that it's anything other than absolute truth.

>If we need to get information from someone we don't know, we form a judgement of their trustworthiness based off of input from people we trust--e.g. giving a reference. //

This is domain authority again - trust some domains manually, let it flow from there. If that domain trusts another domain then they link to it, trust flows to the other domain, and so on. Maintaining such trust for a long time adds to a particular domains trust factor, linking to domains not trusted by others detracts from it.
This seems significantly laborious. Not sure that the utility of this kind of network recommendation scales to incentivise participation beyond a few people. i.e.: We already have user groups on sites like reddit, FB etc, where experts or enthusiasts answer questions when they feel like it. But this is a slow process that relies on a group that contains enough distributed knowledge, but isn't overwhelmed with inquiries. As a counter example, the /r/BuildaPC subreddit long ago exceeded the size where it could answer a significant proportion of build questions, and most remain unanswered despite significant community engagement.

Not convinced any kind of formalised 'question answering network' could replace search. It would be both slow, and require an enormous asymmetric investment of time, for a diffuse and unspecified reward.
I'm so glad you ask. I certainly have an "agenda". That agenda is to give a balanced view on what currently is a completely one-sided criticism of Huawei. Since Trump started the trade war on China, every piece of US media coverage of Huawei is negative, portraying it as the greatest evil on earth. That sounds very coincidental and suspicious, does it?

If Huawei has been such a bad actor, how come there were hardly much coverage before Trump trade war. It's been around during the Obama administration, during the G W Bush administration, it was already a rising tech startup during the Clinton admin. How come no one noticed it's spying on its customers and other "terrible" behavior? and no one took issue with it?

So, answering your question, having follow HN for a short while, I actually feel there is a hidden agenda in the many of the comments here in HN, and that agenda seems suspicious aligned with the Trump administration foreign policy.

I think it would be more constructive it Firefox would include a better visualization of the extend of web tracking.

Mozilla had already tried something like this with an extension, it's called "Firefox Lightbeam".

With the next Firefox version, statistics about the number of trackers blocked will be included in Firefox, and I think a better version of Lightbeam (more lightweight, visually showing the difference between tracking protection on/off and excluding subdomains) should be included as well.

What makes marketplaces work is the "saddle" shape of transactions.

Alice wishes to buy a house. She narrows her choice down to three candidates, and is looking to pay the lowest possible price for one of the three.

Bob has a house for sale. After showing it for a week, his agent puts it up for offers, and he is looking to accept the highest possible price.

If Bob's highest possible price is also Alice's lows possible price, they both win.

So it is very possible for one party to sell for the highest possible price, while the other party is buying for the lowest possible price, even if both have the same information about the market.

---

So yes, Apple could have paid the lowest possible price while simultaneously--and you would be correct--they sold for the highest possible price.

Obviously a naïve web directory isn't going to cut it.

What would make the approach viable is if there were a nice way to automate and crowd source most/all of the effort. Maybe that means changing the idea of what makes a website.

How to Charge $546 for Six Liters of Saltwater (2013)
Click bait language aside, this is an interesting question. How much should we seek to preserve a particular species in a particular place? Is it alright to wipe out a species in one area _because_ they exist somewhere else? It seems totally possible we want to do this, though it isn't the way we usually think about it.
One thing confuses me in this discussion: are businesses free to lie?

It sounds like businesses might lie, and the consumer is responsible for detecting that, and the only consequence for the business is that enough people “kick back”. But that would still mean it’s rational to lie when it causes a net increase in profits.

Not good for society. Isn’t this something the Federal Trade Commission is supposed to help with?
Excellent advice. Always read and think carefully about claims on either side of the mind divide.

While that is a common statement, it isn't really true. Most stock holders have figured out that long term profits are important as well. Companies that only focus short term go out of business quickly and so are worth less than companies who will be around longer.

Not a bad comparison, but you're overlooking one big difference: There are many more sharks than there are mountain lions.

If you're swimming at any beach in Florida (for example) you are likely to be within 20' of a shark at all times. At some points in the year you will be near dozens if not hundreds of sharks:

I have flown in a Cessna low over very popular beaches and there are so many sharks visible that it gets boring to count them.
By 1996, phones were already being subsidized, so you could get a “free” phone, but we got paid a commission based on the total price. The non subsidized price was around $300-$400.

This was a typical cellphone circa 1996

>Iceland tire of tourists trashing their nature

Rightfully so!

My city recently opened up a direct flight to Reykjavík.

Sadly, I've seen how people treat our national parks.

I hope Iceland use the increased tourism revenue to up their ranger presence and fine and/or deport the offenders.

To Iceland if you're listening: we're not all bad, I promise :)
It's not just Iceland. My wife and I typically travel for the outdoors and we are extremely impact conscious. I've noticed a significant growth in outdoor activity in the last ten years or so. Along with the that growth I've noticed more trash, more people going off established trails when they shouldn't (I'm not 100% anti off-trail travel), more disrespect for others who are trying to escape into nature, more people who are unprepared for somewhat serious activities (particularly rock climbing in remote locations, I've had to do a few rescues at this point), more trail braiding and erosion, and to get away from the people getting away, one must go deeper and farther into the backcountry.
Iceland was beautiful, but the best places on the island (imho) were often places we explored that were relatively unknown. It's a tough issue that many people in the outdoor community are scratching heads over how to deal with. I want to think that it's a solvable problem, but the cynic in me says it's a societal issue manifesting itself in this form and can't be easily fixed.

Android NDK development was been quite painful since ever, to the point sometimes I miss Symbian, and Symbian C++ patterns were not to fall in love with.

Not sure about you, but for me it was felt like a 20% project that someone on the Android team does something when they happen to be free of work.

If it wasn't for JetBrains coming up with CLion we still wouldn't have a replacement for Eclipse CDT, multiple reboots of NDK build tools, no real story on how to share libraries between NDK projects, native APIs are C wrappers to C++ code that we wrap again in C++ for proper type safety, permissions or file access require JNI, no AndroidX/JetPack like libraries and the list goes on.

The IO talk was more of state of nation than anything else.

Apple and Microsoft platforms are definitly more C++ developer friendly regarding the overall tooling, and mixed language development support as well.
After reading countless stories about companies big and small, I came to conclusion that if you want to build a company that has a mission and/or a moral compass, under no circumstances you should ever give any degree of control to people who are not in on the mission or do not share the same moral direction. From this follow at least two rules:

1) Never ever go public.

2) Never ever accept VC money.

Problem is, you'll likely get outcompeted by companies that do either or both of these things.

That still just sounds like regular extinction to me. "Event horizon" or some other "cliff" type of nomenclature is fair too in light of the inbreeding effect of very small populations. But "extinction vortex" sounds like they wanted to pick a scary sounding word for hype.

For "vortex" to actually be fitting I'd expect some kind of circular process: perhaps a feedback loop, wherein some process is causing extinction which increasingly leads to more extinction. Like how melting ice leads to warming, which leads to more melting ice, etc, might be fair to call a "warming vortex".

Intentionally planning for emergence is sort of a lost art these days. The most famous example is the Manhattan grid, where at its conception there were no zoning limits and it was lines on a map with no infrastructure built, it just kind of filled in by itself and constantly changed over the years (Midtown, for example, was originally a low-slung wealthy neighborhood for people escaping the crowded downtown area)

Part of the “problem” is that we demand so much in modern services which need to be placed ahead of time; this is not the 1800s where you could hoist up a tenement with no plumbing and electricity, no fire, police, hospital or schools to be seen.
