You're right. But denial is a strong force, and in big parts of the west, values that contract to biology have become socially sacred and impossible to contradict. Whatever communities think like this will cling to blank-slateism even as they lose political power, economic power, and ultimately, their standard of living --- because the alternative is, to many people, literally unthinkable.

It's tragic, especially because the stakes are high and advance permanent and self-reinforcing. How likely do you think it'll be that countries are able to catch to the newly-140-IQ first movers establish a lead?
The question was "where [does] the overwhelmingly negative FB sentiment on HN come from?"

No thanks. There's no way you're enjoying what you're eating if you're stuffing more food down your throat even before your stomach has a chance to digest.
How would you come up with that number?

As noted by others in this thread, starting with entrepreneurship is a combination of knowledge, skills and somewhat being financially independent enough to commit significant amounts of time to creating something from scratch and - most significantly - having a network to achieve the latter.

Creating opportunity is a systemic, complex and long term challenge that you can't simply put a $ amount to. Your surroundings and upbringing shape you massively and there is no money which can make up for that and time. When you're 25 coming from a dirt poor community and are the first to study in your family there is such a slim chance you have seized dozens of opportunities correctly so that they stack up to put you in a spot where you are not only able to (aka resources present) but capable of achieving successes comparable to privileged peers. Network and skills are essential. Highly recommend reading "Cities and Ambition" (http://www.paulgraham.com/cities.html) for more context.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the old Chinese proverb "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." is true when it comes to creating opportunity. It's not a "point in time", but a continuous problem.

The author incorrectly states that the k-th Fibonacci number can be computed in O(1) time. Actually the algorithm he describes runs in O(k) time.
Let's assume that's so—what does it matter? The article was interesting for reasons other than its implicit ideology. Making it explicit so as to fight it is stepping into the ideological battle that we don't want here. We have more than enough of that. Everything is implicitly ideological anyway.

Re "avoiding clarity": if you change the subject, that deprives the thread of clarity on the points that actually made it interesting. And if you change it to a flamewar, that just fills the comments with fire and smoke, which does nothing for clarity. It just gets people venting and yelling at each other.

> this "Please confess for less punishment" lie is their only way in actually messing up kid's lives.

There's no indication that the intervention is predicated on confessing. I think you might be looking at this from the perspective of a legal system where plea bargains are a thing. In most of Europe, promising less punishment for a confession doesn't work, because the prosecutor doesn't have the right to interfere with the judge's decision, and therefore can't credibly promise that the punishment will be less.

E.g. the Dutch article I linked in another comment mentions the following case:

The police expected to roll up a large criminal organization, but eventually ended up in a boys' room somewhere in the Netherlands. “We noticed from cyber crime officers that they often saw things like this, in which the young people did not realize how serious the fact is that they were committing. The officers did not know which intervention would be best for them. After all, the perpetrators have done something very serious, but they are still young and often deviate from the traditional perpetrators, "explains Van Dijk.

Dows that sound like petty adults using nasty manipulation to mess up kid's lives?

> So if they were able to succeed so much, does that mean latinos or blacks are just too dumb to do the same?

Yes.

Even in Africa or South America, where the majority of the population is of Spanish or African descent (ie, not as much "oppression" by other ethnic groups), they _still_ can't get their shit together.

However, people (most on HN, I'd argue) prefer to believe in free will and that they are in charge of their life. It makes them happy, so let them keep thinking that...

> Once you accept success as proof of intelligence, there's no end to the 'fun' conclusions you can draw!

Even on self-reported happiness scores, white people are happier than black (eg, Nordic countries). Family values? Asian wins here. Physical health? Again, not black. Make sure to look at non-Western data too.

Untill someone has a better metric of intelligence, we're going to use success, because success (eg, family, financial, physival, mental) is desirable by most of the Earth's population.
I don't understand how climate researchers can seriously have concerns about sequestration technologies distracting us from the efforts to limit emissions. It seems an argument that is easily dispensed with, with a bit of simple math. Right now it seems like even if we max out both efforts, we'd still have to be lucky to get there.

I have a question about these various carbon-buying efforts. Whether it's climeworks, or buying carbon offsets, or signing up for a service with your power company... do these things scale?

I mean, here in Portland I think you can sign up with PGE for having 100% of your electricity come from renewable sources, but I think that only 40% of their power comes from renewable. So really probably only 40% of their customers can sign up. As it is, not enough people have signed up, so they can still say so, but big picture, you're still really only getting 40%. And that's just the electrical part of our carbon footprint, which isn't the whole picture.

Same with the carbon-offset buying sites. I mean, they don't really work past a point, right? Like if every citizen in the world signs up, it implies we'd have the entire problem solved. But we wouldn't really, don't they all have upper limits? So how much do they actually scale? 50%, 10%, 1%?

More likely, it will be abused, come with some unforeseen consequences, and diverse.

Augmentation by combining biotech with electromechanical will happen too.

In response to the criticism of Lewis et al, the keeper of Gould's Tomb—his longtime editor at Natural History, Richard Milner—had some choice comments in defense of Gould (William 2012). Gould acted with "complete conviction and integrity" (that is, with full self-deception). "He was a tireless crusader against racism in any form" (In what way is misrepresenting the true facts about population differences—and then hiding this misrepresentation—a contribution to anti-racism?) And then, fully in flight, he says that any bias was "on the side of the angels". Who of us is in any position to say what is on the side of the angels? We barely know what is in our own self-interest.

Well, (I’m not the project maintainer but) I don’t think the mention of ‘bad design’ in the README is ignorant; It is not what I would call a good design at best to one that tries to embed nodejs inside an app. Everyone has different views on what is ‘good’ and what is ‘bad’; the internals can be (and is) beautiful but the external APIs for interacting with nodejs has grown organically(not really designed).

There are discussions for a better N-API for embedding in the nodejs issue tracker[1].

The author looks like he has studied enough internals to implement nodejs inside the library; he even (helpfully) explained how metacall has embedded nodejs successfully and improvements available in the nodejs part. [2][3][4]
I wouldn’t call that bashing out at it out of mere ignorance.

I never said that anything we can do should be legal. I said that there should be a consistent moral framework upon which all laws should be based. And I think that laws should be defined objectively, not based in intent or outcome, but in facts.

> Shooting people is just pulling a small lever. Objectively speaking, it's not much different from driving a car.

Shooting people is more like throwing stones at them. If you own a gun, you're responsible for knowing that pulling the lever implies shooting projectiles at them.

I think throwing projectiles at someone should be illegal (above some reasonable threshold of momentum. e.g (5 g * 2 m/s)).

Picking someone's lock can be considered handling someone else's property without permission. (Physically) handling someone else's property without permission should also be illegal.

All of these things are physical actions. The state should care about the physical actions of their citizens, but not about ideas, concepts, intent, or arbitrary abstractions. Those abstractions are the citizen's business, and legislating them is arbitrary and unfair.

If I have a mental breakdown every time someone says hello to me, then should we make it illegal to say hello to me? After all, they're causing me severe mental distress and maybe I could lose my job because of these people.

In my opinion, it would be unfair to ban "hello" because one person doesn't like it. It's my problem to have a mental breakdown because of specific messages, not yours or the state's.

Same principle applies to software. If your website has a breakdown every time I send specific IP packets, that's your problem, not mine or the state's.
I think we’re going to need adclickers: similar to adblockers except they put the ad in a sandbox and click it. As long as this registers as a click, someone somewhere will want to be paid and sooner or later the whole ad economy nightmare will implode.

I think there are two hard parts: determining the carbon footprint of most activities/expenditures, and finding the most effective means of carbon sequestration. But, I think it aligns incentives in many good ways.
Economies of scale and knowledge spillovers cause large labor markets to be more productive than smaller ones, and thus not trying to concentrate jobs will be an uphill battle. Increasing mobility in areas with more unemployment will probably be more effective.

There is of course also the opposite problem of having a lot of space but ending up in essentially a house size cubicle without connection to other people.

But it seems like the larger problem today is that it is hard for people to wrap their heads around that when something becomes available, or even common, whatever enables or let's you explore it becomes more important.

It used to be that to be a musician you had to end up in a studio or a stage (or at least in lessons or rehearsals). People would fly across the world for auditions and recordings. Today everyone can have their studio or even stage at home. But that makes your home so much more important. If you don't have the space, the time, if it is too costly, not connected to a community or unstable then it is a lot harder to become a musician.

And that isn't just true for something like being a musician but everyday things like cooking, reading or exercise were we now have more possibilities than ever. Virtual cycling is for example a thing now.
I do not buy the sentiment that self driving car company should leave infrastructure work to cloud providers.

On the one hand, such work has realistic roi, for example, a little foraging into infrastructure tech, allow outsized understanding which translate to outsized benefit. I.e., to have a few guys to work out these details easily help remove common simple defects for a large organization.

Additionally, staying connected with the industry is crucial. Nowadays, your value to hackers can be increased 10x overnight depending on some luck events. And the modern infrastructure is full of holes that a seasoned hacker can easily crack. It’s just a matter of discovering the right entry way. And such entry ways keep changing with the new tech.
But its not like the "rich" could let the "not rich" have that beneficial technology because once you have that technology you become "rich". So it's a meaningless example.

That would surprise me. The only people I know who think about Facebook—the actual product Facebook not its subsidiaries—are those that locked into it during their late teens or early twenties, and have stopped meeting new people. Parents, homeowners, married people, etc.. Granted I'm not part of this demographic, but I imagine if I was, I'd already have it and not be a new discoverer of FB. For casual new connections, it's Snapchat & Insta, maaybe Messenger but those are mostly people who used FB and have just continued using the chat aspect. Otherwise, events are still for some reason coordinated on the website, which is why I don't hear about weddings.

Basically don't consume any food or calories at all, for more than 3 days.

Mostly just drink water. Tea or coffee is allowed but no sugar or milk.

And take the water with some electrolytes. Can be a bit of table salt, or get more complicated by adding other salts like magnesium, potassium, etc.

I guess. I'm a big dude, and I find it a lot easier to fast than to eat carefully on a more typical schedule. Part of it is definitely just acclimating to the sensation of food cravings (and also learning to distinguish that feeling from "hunger"), but also, if I don't eat regularly, I tend not to crave food in the first place. I can pretty sustainably stay on an 18 hour fast schedule without breaking.
There are 3 questions
1. What is the nature of the social economic order.
2. Is the the order we want.
3. How might we change this order.

I think this articles primary objective is to inform question 1.

If your inherent response to 3. Is "no. Why would I" Then it makes sense why you would see this as complaining. On the other hand if you were possessed by the smallest fraction of western social political impetus then I doubt your retort would be so terse.

> The fully burdened cost per ton of CO2 adds up to more resources than humanity has available in its entirety as a practical matter.

What are you basing that math on?

At $100 per ton it's about 4 trillion dollars a year to capture all current emissions.

That's five percent of world GPD. And that's ignoring any attempt to reduce emissions, or to more efficiently capture carbon at power plants.

Even at the current price of $600 if we reduced emissions by half we could afford that.

And for land use, 40 billion / 1 million * 300 acres is 19k square miles, or one sixth of Nevada.

As someone also not coming from money and being self employed I strongly disagree with your view here. I think you romanticise a lack of funds and miss the point of risk entirely.

Is it possible to make a living and be comfortably financially independent with a business even without a safety net? Absolutely.

Is the stuff one does in such a situation "disruptive"? Hell no. It's freelance consulting (low risk, high margin "time for money") or maybe an agency or niche SaaS in 80% of the cases. That is not "risk taking" business.

Look at successful founders - for example Slack - and you'll see many tried several ventures before hitting a model which scaled up big time. And this kind of risk taking - which brings you in the really huge league - is definitely a) more comfortable with a safety net and b) has a higher outcome to lead to success over time. Do bootstrapped ventures go big? Sure, I'd argue significantly less often and doing so in areas where either timing (technology, market cycle) was critically in their favour.
