Pricing externalities has become such a common comment.

Does anyone know good examples (family led also, but successful mostly) of pricing externalities?

I mean the alternative is regulation and/or legislation. Those work pretty well when a reasonable (ie production still happens) of harmful processes/methods. Eg banning CFCs in certain products. I know of examples where these were deployed.

Tldr: what is the best, big example of a real, functional price system for "externalities?"

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but it feels like this line of thinking is similar to state "retraining" to deal with unemployment due to economic changes. Very popular rhetorically, but very few encouraging examples.

I ignored that because evs don't operate on mpg. It makes zero sense if coal was the original source or if nuclear energy was the source. Miles per gallon of uranium fissioned? What? Also your sources report is Canadian yet you quote US data. You sourced incorrectly. Unreasonable? Yes.

I'm not a biased person if you clarify the implications of your "us data" and it's sources I can completely reverse my opinion in an inhumanly unbiased way.
EEE refers to formats and later standards, where an MS product would Embrace a format/standard (e.g. Lotus 1-2-3's macros or HTML) so that people who use competitor products will also be able to use their data with the MS product and then Extend it so that people will come to rely on MS-specific extensions - the Extinguish part comes passively from competitors not being able to keep up with Microsoft's changes, Microsoft doesn't actively try to extinguish something (otherwise they'd do that at the beginning) but it happens from people switching to their stuff.

Obviously for this to work it needs two elements:

1. A format or standard that multiple vendors provide and Microsoft implements

2. The other vendors being unable to keep up with any Microsoft extensions

None of the above apply to GitHub. The first part could apply to Git itself, but Microsoft has nothing to gain by doing that as the second part would be very difficult. EEE worked largely because Microsoft's competitors were companies with limited resources and programmers, but it doesn't work when any programmer and company can help keep up with them - see how they failed to apply it with HTML despite trying very hard. Also EEE really relies on network effects (the last E comes because people flock to MS products) and they already have a better network effect with GitHub's social aspect, they do not need to try and manufacture one.

Don't forget Czech refugee András Gróf, who went on to found Intel: https://www.referenceforbusiness.com/biography/F-L/Grove-And...

But in all these stories there's a huge selection effect. We only hear about the great generals, not enough about the disastrous ones. We hear about the refugees who persisted, not the ones who gave up.
Sure, if you really want to know.

To put it into perspective: I live a life most people can only dream of - I have good looks, excellent physical condition and health, a loving family, a partner who adores me, a very comfortable income and circumstances, a job where I am made to feel valued, lots of experiences from travelling all around the world - everything that I can think of that would make one happy.

And yet, for years I have suffered from an underlying unhappiness that would periodically surface into week-long periods of depression. This has been following me for at least 20 years.

I have spent 15 years practising internal arts and they have helped me immensely - without doubt they are the foundation of a lot of the good things that I have listed above. But I still could not get at the root of my problem.

But about 7 months ago something happened. The circumstances around it are too long and frankly too weird to discuss in place like HN, but it led me to re-discover Sadhguru's teachings (I had come across him about 7 years ago but, although I appreciated the wisdom, at the time it did not connect with me).

After 6 months of practice I really feel that finally I got at that problem root and am having a good go at tugging it out and it is me who is doing it, not hoping for someone to come and magically fix it for me. I can't tell you how it feels. :)

Of course it was not just the book - it was a result of all the work I put in before over the years, but it's as good a place to start as any as recommendation for others since, in my experience, the technology there is universally applicable.

OS scheduling requires you to switch contexts between different modes in the CPU. Essentially, the OS has the power to perform operations that regular code does not. Threads and processes are usually built on top of these additional permissions.

Context switching is relatively expensive. The CPU needs to push a lot of application state out of the way to clear the path for the OS code to run, then after the OS is done, push the OS out of the way and retrieve the application's state and code again.

Whereas a fiber remains entirely inside the application code. It never requires a context switch. But a fiber loses some of the powers of the OS: for example, it can't draw hard memory boundaries between fibers that will be enforced by the CPU.

For some things you want processes, for some threads, for some fibers.

The mp3 players of 2001 were so fucked up that keeping your Walkman in use wasn’t uncommon. Not among techies maybe but regular people, many of whom didn’t even have a computer yet. How would they even fill their mp3 players? (And even the techies could sigh - rip CDs? Download mp3 from ftp sites?)

On many occasions it was still easier, even in 2001, to dub a CD to a cassette than juggle the computer gear.

I think we hear a lot of them but don't see them in practice because it would reduce profits. It's like any other solution to a problem of capitalism.

Regarding regulation: something like a carbon tax is arguably pricing-in of an externality, but mandated by the government. That's actually what I think of when I suggest this, because I don't expect captialist actors to deal with these problems without being forced to somehow. In the free market, if an externality can be ignored to gain a competitive advantage, it will be.

Ask HN: How to deal with potentially many founders?
Hey,

I'm about to start a new entrepreneurial journey in Biotech. In the past I made the experience that small complementary founder-teams of 2, maximum 3 people works best.

The current set up already has 4 founders and we could very quickly gain interest of many people from Bioinformatics down to sales that want to be part of it. Which is a really good sign. But as everyone somehow wants to be engaged on a founder-level, I'm wondering what the best setup would be here.

I want to keep the cap-table small and I also want to reserve a virtual stock options pool for hires we need at a later growth stage. So it somehow feels like a dilemma.

How could a company structure look like in this case?
Nice strawman bud.
On the Benefits of Being Average
Beyond not just "not violating your principles," it's necessary accounting. If the public pays for part of the costs of something -- say of cleaning up after extraction or pollution -- you haven't accounted for its costs.

Without proper accounting, unprofitable businesses can thrive and would-be profitable businesses fail.

No economic system can sustain itself without proper accounting.
Assembler code used to be a close mapping of what the CPU does. But it too is now a high-level language with a funny syntax, it's just that the complexity is hidden by the CPU frontend instead of by a language compiler.

Everyone is complicit in everything to a slight degree. That's simply no longer a useful thing to say, nor is it a means to dismiss an argument that something should not be done. It's just a statement that disentangling yourself from the system comes at an extremely high cost, if it is possible at all.
"You can't script this GUI. You can't use Cron with an interactive GUI. You can't parse stdin/out/err"

No but you can script the underlying youtube-dl so with the gui front end you get the best of both worlds.

Re defaults, that isn't an inherent shortcoming of terminal apps. Theres no reason why 'youtube-dl url' shouldn't just do the 'right thing'. I agree it's a common problem though.
That is not an excuse. Non-native speakers can learn to spell.

The Java library developer's aesthetic has traditionally been to make things possible, rather than to make things easy. So you may have to write a lot of code or config to get something to happen, but you will have a lot of control over what happens.

This is the opposite emphasis to, say, the Ruby community, which values a simple, lickable, surface interface with a large amount of opaque magic hiding behind it.
Overall it is slightly better than filling the hole with gravel, since gravel will tend to abrade the edges of the road surface and make the hole larger. It's still a crappy fix though, the only advantage is it's quick and cheap.

Interesting observation.

For me, change happens when I see a real improvement in almost every way possible which is usually determined by building a few things and letting my brain simmer on the technology as a whole so I can look at it with a logical and unbiased perspective.

I remember looking at Node when it first came out and got mildly excited, but that excitement quickly went away after writing a couple of small apps with it. It just wasn't for me. The same thing happened with Go. I didn't see enough wins to switch over to using either of them for building web apps.

On the other hand, for me Rails and Flask stood the test of time. Nowadays I'm working with Phoenix and I'm past the hype phase and it looks to be another winner. But in all 3 cases (Rails, Flask, Phoenix) I typically don't switch away from them for good. They just become another tool that I know. Of course I will gravitate towards the one I'm the most happy writing code with, but it's not a black / white progression from 1 to the other.

I don't think there's really a definitive answer on when to change. Like 3 weeks ago I picked up a Flask contract and it was a pleasant experience, even though I'm using Phoenix to build a side project currently. You don't always need to throw the old thing out. You can use multiple technologies in harmony. You change when you start dreading writing code in the old thing, which is very user specific. In other words, write more code and you'll quickly find out what you like and dislike.

> New growth does capture more CO2

If we cut a tree it seems that the new rings are much thin than the older rings, we could assume that the tree is growing slower each year but this image is deceiving

Is true than the older tree is investing much more energy on reproduction, flowers and (most) fruits do not capture CO2

But the tree's work of a year, a cilinder of wood of just 5cm thick has much more mass than a solid stick of 50cm (young tree), because the diameter of the older ring is 6m and its height 30m, whereas the younger tree is a solid stick of 50cm x 5m.

The older tree can be putting much more mass over its shoulders each year than the younger tree = capturing more CO2.

Second: We don't want faster growing trees to capture CO2. We should aim for slow trees instead. The faster a tree grows, more "spongy" its wood. More brittle and less durable. Hard woods instead are really slow growers, specially when young, but weigth much more (much more CO2 captured in the same space) and this wood lasts intact much more decades. The CO2 capture is much more reliable. The ultra fast tree lives 30, maybe 50 years and then is over, the slow three can live for 500-1000 years easily.
I was also concerned that the messages would be the same for the same keystrokes, but looking into it it seems it also contains a timestamp, so each message is different.

I'm sure it's not bulletproof, but I think a huge improvement over plain text. Also I don't store any logs of sent keystroke messages.
Wow. The two year employment term, and the low pay, are both complete bullshit. Surprised that no one here has called this out explicitly. The 'bootcamp' racket is getting worse and worse apparently.

Which is why tariffs make a lot of sense. Yet there has been this massive movement of reaganite/right wing tariffs bashing for decades now - where the mantra of tariffs causing economic harm is mindlessly repeated. You would think they didn't generate tax revenue (and thus reduce taxes/improve economics elsewhere), and where not easier to collect than many other taxes.

I'm not denying the dangers. I can see how countries could fall into populist/short term positions or get involved in harmful escalating tit-for-tat increases, but this is a strawman when it comes to having moderate tariffs.
That seems to me to be survivor bias: It's cool to claim the one (more quality time), it looks lazy to admit one should have worked harder.

> I have a state-of-the-art digital camera circa 2012

This is a good strategy for anything with a high/quick depreciation curve. My DSLR body is pretty old now, but still works great (a D7100). The tech in bodies changes quickly so even waiting just a short period of time can save significant money. Spend money on lenses instead which hold their value and typically can be used across many bodies.

Cars are similar. My truck is a 2011, and I have no plans to buy a new used one anytime soon.

> Suburbs sort of combine the worst aspects of city and rural life; too many people around that you don't really get space, privacy, or scenery, yet not enough people for there to be any interesting restaurants, farmer's markets, museums, coffee shops, or really just anything to do.

This is interesting. I live in a suburb and my suburb along with many of those neighboring all have good restaurants, farmer's markets and good coffee. I will admit that we don't have many museums, but the city is only a 20 minute drive if you want to do that.

I will say that we have a plethora of nice parks and a great library system. I've noticed that they are all cleaner and better maintained than that of the city too.

> The ability to return values from if expressions and blocks is awesome and I don’t know how I’ve managed to live up until now without it. Instead of conditionally assigning to a bunch of variables it is better to return them from an if expression instead.

The example shown (aside from the fact it's assigning a tuple, which is a different point) would naturally be a ternary in C/C++. Does the awesomeness kick in for more complicated examples where you want intermediate vars etc in the two branches?

Competitors don't kill you because they chose a new tech. They kill you because they can either:

- solve a new problem

- solve an existing problem better

- solve an existing problem cheaper

A new tech MAY allow that, and it MAY be used successfully toward that objective, but even in that case, that's hardly the core of it for most cases. Not saying it does not happen, but there are much more at play.
