A comment consisting of nothing but "got any sources for that?" is certainly "rather unsubstantive". But that is not why I replied to it. Had that been the only thing wrong with the comment, I wouldn't have. It was the following:

> Edit: lol, downvotes for asking for sources? "Hacker" "news" is just full of gems!

... that caused me to reply as a moderator, because that breaks more than one of the site guidelines, as well as being lame. This is routine moderation.

Both the original commenter and now you have given a distorted version of what happened there, as anyone who looks at the original thread can easily see. If that's what you have to resort to in order to come up with examples of moderator abuse on HN, we must be doing pretty well. Better than I'd have expected, in fact, given that we've posted 38,000 of these and no one bats a hundred.

Fresenius charged the Valentines $13,867.74 per dialysis session, or about 59 times the $235 Medicare pays for a dialysis session.
I don't think this a duality in the usual sense. It's just an abstraction leakage. It's not clear to me that this is a large-scale problem. But I can imagine it would be helpful for some use cases. Probably just not helpful enough for such a major change.
For a site like HN you don't need a JavaScript framework. Just pick a popular framework like Rails, Django, Laravel, Phoenix, etc (basically just pick the popular framework for your language of choice) and do server side templates. Most if not all of these can be converted easily into a backend API for a JavaScript framework frontend later anyways.
I view these as the equivalent of a video game company porting its older titles to new platforms. I have no data to support this, but I would guess that the next generation of kids isn't watching the old versions of Snow White, Cinderella, etc—at least, not at the same level. But Disney needs these movies and their iconography to be embedded in children's minds in order for the multi-billion-dollar merchandizing machine built on them to keep on printing cash. So Disney is bringing their back catalogue up to date.

I couldn't for the life of me understand why they even decided on this project. With films like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin they recreated the animated film as a live-action one, which makes sense to me as a worthwhile endeavor, regardless of the result. But here they've just converted one animation style to another, which I don't understand the creative need for, so I assume it's just a money grab.

I'm not sure why Uber wouldn't be successful. After all, taxis were a profitable enterprise for millennia.

Uber faces lower costs, and they have scale which allows them to have better targeted offers, surges, and advertising.

I noticed that they spent $3B in R&D last quarter. Presumably a lot of that is going into driverless vehicles. Exclude half of that cost, and exclude their one time IPO related costs, and they're profitable.
This isn't very scientific, and people living in those countries might disagree, but my sense of the messes in Greece and Venezuela is that they are acute crises, which have to come to and end sooner or later. It might not be a good ending, but one way or the other the situation will have to be resolved. People aren't as likely to kill themselves over a temporary emergency, without aggravating factors like pre-existing mental illness. In addition, Venezuelans can still find a sense of community and purpose (even if that's just "opposition to Maduro" or "opposition to opposition to Maduro"), and community belonging and purpose are strong deterrents to suicide.

By contrast, the "suicides of despair" reported in the US and elsewhere seem to be a response to chronic, secular (as in long-term trends, not irreligious) hopelessness of their situation ever improving, aggravated by loneliness and isolation. It doesn't surprise me, then, that suicides can be more common even in a region where conditions are strictly better.

I think this only works if you consider intelligence only in relative terms. I like to think that humans have at least some "absolute" level of intelligence required to understand that another creature can be more intelligent than us, whereas chimps probably can't grasp that concept. So it'd be easier for humans, I reckon.

Wow what a character, terrific find. I found this to be just amazing:

"Whoever after due and proper warning shall be heard to utter the abominable word "Frisco," which has no linguistic or other warrant, shall be deemed guilty of a High Misdemeanor, and shall pay into the Imperial Treasury as penalty the sum of twenty-five dollars."

and:

"Norton was occasionally a visionary, and some of his Imperial Decrees exhibited profound foresight. He issued instructions to form a League of Nations, he explicitly forbade any form of conflict between religions or their sects, and he decreed the construction of a suspension bridge or tunnel connecting Oakland and San Francisco."

This practice is causing huge issues in Italy. The entire country historically takes off for the week around August 15th. However, this mass holiday causes vacation prices to soar, which means many blue collar workers can no longer afford to go away, and stay at home during their forced vacation.

The government is trying to convince companies to stagger their closures. Not closing would be a good start.

This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I really think some technologies should simply not be developed.

Like it or not, engineers have a social responsibility, and this they should be able to refuse to make certain types of products. In other fields (biology and medicine for example), there is a notion of ethics. We need that too.

I've seem a lot of people build a lot of successful systems on things they don't know every detail of, even when not knowing those details is quite dangerous. That Kubernetes is yet another one of these building blocks isn't an indictment of Kubernetes, it's an indictment of the compulsion to understand everything.

If you are hiring a coder, you need to know how he code and unit test. So around 7 - 8 coding problems, each with unit tests.

If you are hiring data scientist, you probably need data analysis and ML models. So 7-8 data sets.

If you are hiring sale person - 7 - 8 cold calls or hot calls.

Hopefully you see the pattern.
Here's a hot take: you shouldn't be trusting intenet comments written by humans anyway. If a bot comment contains something you should actually listen to (sources, evidence) then you should listen to it, and if a human comment is just a Reddit-style popular opinion dogpile it is just as bad as a bot comment.

As a result of this misguided policy, hundreds of thousands of people are currently marooned at home with cataracts, their lives diminished by NHS pen-pushers callously deciding their condition isn’t life-threatening.

That makes two of us. Of course you're welcome to comment here. All we ask is that you review the site guidelines semi-regularly and work at following them—not because you're somehow deficient but because we all have to do this. They don't exactly come naturally—certainly not to me.

I'm sure it's true you're no zealot. As for propensity to overreact, one trick I use is to set 'delay' in my profile to 1 (it can be 0-10 minutes). That way I'm the only person who sees my comment at first. That gives me time to re-read it outside of the edit box, and I usually notice something I want to change.
That are some bloated classes. it's no different in inline styling everything to me. I really don't see the benefit in doing it this way. Can you use tailwinds and scss to create actual styling rules? No that is something I could get behind.
I think this is an excellent analysis with sources: https://randomcriticalanalysis.com/2015/11/16/racial-differe...

His conclusion is that on a county-by-county level in the US, race is the strongest predictor of homicide rates, with rates of single-motherhood being next strongest. Poverty is a reasonable predictor, but weaker than these and several others.

I read this closely a couple years ago, but only skimmed it now to remind myself of the conclusions. I'd be interested to hear peoples' thoughts on whether his statistical techniques are appropriately applied. I recall it was was convincing to me at the time.

The idea is to direct all of the nanotube-emitted light onto the PV cells, so hopefully you won't see anything. Citing the Rice article:

And the only reason I could come up is that there are a few people who would miss me. Nothing in my life really provides meaning. My job provides meaning to the world, but me.

Life has become Meaningless, and there are groups out there that provide a sense of community and meaning. How do you fix that- when communities are becoming more exclusionary.

Well, you do write CSS classes, but those classes are based on your configuration. This is not a reinvention, it's a framework addressing certain issues in a certain way. It might seem counterintuitive at first, but to me it's a tool. I prefer it over SCSS (since I often rebuild in SCSS what TailwindCSS provides)

OP is not saying China is Marxist. He's saying that some Marxian theorists call what in China "state capitalism." I.e. not socialism, but capitalism administered/mediated by the state.

This is by no means universal though. Other Marxists would call it a "degenerated worker's state" or "bureaucratic collectivism" or just "Stalinism"

Basically the expectation is you bring them to school yourself either via driving them or maybe walking them to the school bus, and then they stay at home or they are supervised by other adults in activities, the school/daycare, scheduled play dates and so on.

The claim is lopsided. @dang implies how the original comment wasn't all that great... but wasn't a real problem, & it wasn't until the comment was edited to include the downvotes that @dang intervened. That the commenter re-raised the issue again here as the reason for @dang intervening in the first place seems to be incorrect, as I read it.
I’m not very bright socially so it’s entirely likely I’m wrong.

With that, you don’t need to centrally ‘decide’ anything. I think folks would generally observe patterns and come to similar conclusions. Honestly it’s probably the same way the ‘blue code’ develops...theres no meeting, just patterns. It’s not an absolute model, police do get called (and fired) all the time despite this.

Doesn’t really matter what i think at the end of the day and im grossly oversimplifying most of it, but it is a handy framework that explains a lot for me.

Seems like a lot of American companies have been working pretty hard to get around the sanctions to sell things to black listed Chinese companies. I would take that as pretty good evidence that American companies tend to be independent of the government.

Also it's just pretty clear in general who has what interests in large American corporations. You can look at the chain of command up to the board of directors back to the shareholders.

There’s also something the Chinese state calls “fusion centres” which is one of the most interesting facets of this intelligence-industrial complex in China.

Essentially the state decides, let’s say high tech cutting edge batteries for storing renewable energy is where they want to invest in. They gather a few companies into a building that can do it or are interested. They then have state representatives who effectively ask “what do we need to know” and “who are the major players in the field.

In a month or so they come back again. They do big closed door presentation for all the companies in the building. Suddenly all the Chinese companies in the space start delivering R&D and eventually products that match some of the best stuff being done in the space. You could almost say they’ve learnt to copy it..

How do they do it? Industrial espionage, essentially, and building an industrial and intelligence infrastructure that allows for maximum impact of the state’s intelligence apparatus into the national economy. In a way it’s kind of brilliant.

I heard it described by an NSA analyst in a very interesting talk. I thought it was fascinating and speaks exactly to your point. The idea that we are competing with “free market” Chinese companies is a fiction that we’ve made up in our own minds. It’s just not how China works. And to be fair it’s been working gang busters for them.

edit since someone asked for it, here’s the talk - https://cybersecpolitics.blogspot.com/2017/04/fusion-centers...

In some ways, that’s what Trump was - he didn’t stick to the predictable talking points and empty platitudes that form the language most other politicians speak in. He spoke much more bluntly and aggressively than we were used to. It seemed to have helped him enormously, even though the things he actually said turned out to be pure falsehoods.

On the other hand, we have had actual honest and realistic candidates, like Larry Lessig. And they were so honest they got squashed by their party apparatus before they ever had a chance.

I think its ridiculous on its face that "Plan A" is telling ourselves we'll grow, burn and bury gigatons of biomass in the back half of the century in order to excuse continuing to mine and drill for it now. Its junkie logic. It doesn't really need refuting because if you just look at it square you can't help but realize its absurd. Silly.
Or, you do the rational thing that many other nations have done and decide that healthcare is a human right, then stop playing hot potato with the ticking bomb of healthcare.

America is the only one with this very unique problem and going further in the direction of a 'free market' won't work. Because healthcare can never be a free market. The insurers have an incentive to not give quality healthcare and give people the bare minimum while hiding details from customers and no amount of freedom would solve this. The end result is that you'd see something like ISP companies where they work together to enforce a regional monopoly and gouge people all the same.
