And rightfully so. Look where not paying attention has led to.
Stellarium is such a beautiful product. I used it back in college and shared it with the astrophysics majors, and they all loved it, too. Stellarium helped me play around with a telescope I had. There is so much joy in playing with a digital, interactive patch of the sky, then being able to look up through a lens and see the real thing a minute later.

As for Stellarium, I fell in love with the countryside aesthetic and how they really went for a VR-type feeling before VR ever became a buzzthing. My favorite features are zooming in and speeding up the clock. Stellarium put a surprising amount of detail into their product, I suggest pushing all of those features to their limits. You will be pleasantly surprised with how far they go.
You continually make the grave error of framing the criticism as if I had proposed it. I am clarifying what is plainly stated in the article, by Callender, but somehow has escaped the narrow focus of individuals like yourself.

> It doesn't make any sense, they aren't equal, they aren't proportional.

That's not relevant. You increase one, you increase the other. [1]The equality symbol is not a literal equality. In a macro sense, it's a relationship that is directly correlated as opposed to equal in any sort of specific calculus.

> The first error is that at some point you use that the volume is "equal" (proportional?) to the entropy, but this relation is wrong.

You missed the point, which was initially:

> Here’s another way in which the analogy falls flat.

> So what do we make of all those thermodynamic relations that include volume, like Boyle’s law

Callendar was making his core argument that the entropy of a black hole is not expressed as a function of volume in one sense - because there's an assumption of quantum mechanics that take over, as you say it's "wrong" following the unproven "black hole thermodynamics" models ... but in another sense (Bekenstein–Hawking) there is a paper describing how surface area is a function of entropy. So this looks like a dichotomy since the surface area (which can tell you the entropy) can tell you the volume of a sphere, but volume of a black hole sphere isn't used to correlate to the entropy...so there's a dichotomy that is related to breaking laws (equivalence doesn't mean anything and it's all nonsense). Basically there's an assumption that beyond the event horizon we assume that the rules of physics break down into something new, although the black holes (theoretically per Bekenstein–Hawking) exhibit what a classical physicist would expect. Why not treat the black hole as if it has entropy as per the classical physics models, since it exhibits that quality already and see what insights that yields, rather than a whole new branch of thermodynamics that are necessarily exotic theory?

> now you are removing and exponent, not a multiplicative constant

I have rephrased the position and I think maybe you should have a talk with the originator (ccallender@ucsd.edu) if you are still confused.
For every good thing a company does, there’ll always be a HN commenter ready to explain why it’s exploitation.
Some suggestions:

1. If you need healthcare you get it for free or almost free.

2. If you make billions of dollars, you pay a lot more taxes.

3. Workers have as much power as their employers.

4. Everyone has access to food, water, and basic shelter.

5. Everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

This seems like a good start.
Maybe that's Hanselman's ploy. Run mind games on you to make your imposter syndrome worse. Muahahaha.
It does. From the linked World Bank article: "The Bank uses an updated international poverty line of US $1.90 a day, which incorporates new information on differences in the cost of living across countries (the PPP exchange rates). The new line preserves the real purchasing power of the previous line (of $1.25 a day in 2005 prices) in the world’s poorest countries."

Your statement about trains is not correct. US rail is optimized for transporting goods rather than people and overall does a good job. It is also quite profitable. For example, the Union Pacific 10-K shows a healthy profit for FY 2018. [0]

One recent stat I found claimed that in the US 43% of freight travels by rail whereas in the EU it's only 10%. [1] European highways are consequently choked with trucks, something you notice pretty quickly if you drive in countries like Germany. It's easy to overlook, though, when traveling in one of their nice passenger trains. :)

They were psychiatrists from the 1950's. It was around the time the first antipsychotic was introduced and people naively believed psychiatry was this miracle. There are chemicals that make people impressionable, they're administered at hospitals and available in liquor stores.

IMO the most interesting (and impactful, powerful) stuff is just plain-old psychology, like what is read in therapy books. You can apply it in nearly any situation in so many ways.

It adds on to intuition you'd feel normally, the really complicated social behaviors we act out on into concepts and frameworks. You can choose how you interpret and use it.

Another way of looking at it is that two of richest countries in the world from 300 years ago spent the most of the past 300 years with most of their citizens in extreme poverty. Now that those countries are catching up again, we're seeing these reductions in extreme poverty.

In other words, these improvements are not the result of a valiant effort to fight poverty, but a regression to the historical meaning happening because the effects of colonization are beginning to fade away.
Why is exim running as root at that point? At least that is the question in my mind. Once it has bound to the port it should setuid() or seteuid() to a less privileged UID, unless I'm mistaken.

Granted, there will still be the possibility of remote code execution as a non-root user, but at least you're not handing an attacker root privileges by default.

And it's not just money. Very tangible measures such as mortality before age 5 have greatly improved.

From https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality#global-decline-of...

In 1800 the health conditions of our ancestors were such that 43% of the world’s newborns died before their 5th birthday. These estimates are shown in the visualisation below.

In 1960 child mortality was still 18.5%. Almost every 5th child born in that year died in childhood.

Over the last decades we have seen a very rapid decline of child mortality globally. In 2015 child mortality was down to 4.3% – 10-fold lower than 2 centuries ago. You have to take this long perspective to see the progress that we have achieved.

I agree, such a positive tone encourages complacency. And the reality is that we could do so much better:
https://www.jasonhickel.org/blog/2018/8/30/the-moral-egregio...

"We shouldn’t be looking at the cost of ending poverty as a percentage of total world income, but rather as a percentage of the income of all the people who are not poor; say, those who live on more than double the poverty line. In 1990, it would have cost 12.9% of their total income to end poverty. In 2013, it would have cost only 3.9%. According to this measure, our capacity to end poverty has improved by a factor of 3.31."

It’s really handy for astrophotographers, too - I use Astroplanner to chuck together a list of potential targets for a given night or set of nights, then check them out in stellarium, where I’ve imported my actual horizon from my site, and my scope and camera combinations for framing - means I can ensure I’m not wasting time trying to image something obscured by trees or terrain - I’m in a Y shaped valley with a horizon that goes from 10 to 50 degrees which makes this impossible to sensibly automate.

I disagree with this, somewhat.

I think the problems of poverty and extreme poverty are undeniable when you look at the examples gates gave. OTOH, in terms of political discussion^ it is a mistake to avoid including positive trends in a discussion. Trends are a huge part of understanding. Does the world need a break from the processes ongoing or do we need to double down and continue/accelerate the trend?

The idea that good news is bad because it distracts from the bad news that still needs attention is shortsighted... and common in change oriented politics.

^id argue when arguments like deflection and staying on message come into play, it's a sign that this is a political discussion
The problem is that every system is doomed to fail if it is based on pure ideology, be it capitalism or communism. The reality is that you need something in between. One which rewards effort but ensures a safety net, and provides the means and opportunity. Where one draws the line in balancing the good of capitalism and communism is the spot where wisdom lies. Communism obviously failed. Capitalism of the kind you have in the US also appears unsustainable as does the socialist underpinnings of countries such as India - just too much ideology involved. Of course countries ridden with extreme corruption have no hope whatsoever until the corruption can be reduced.

Yet these statistics don't matter to individuals for whom life is mostly suffering. We're together in our happiness, but alone in our grief. The Gates note here recounts such stories, and even they haven't captured the deep anguish and helplessness that consumes individuals when they have no money to eat (and worse, to feed their children), and when they can't treat family from curable ailments.

Often people seem to use ideas in Factfulness (Rosling) to assuage the guilt of living well and free when there is suffering all around. This is fine, but this also seem to give ammunition to others who argue that people's fates are in their hands alone, minimum wages should be abolished, and being a rickshaw driver is fine - because they need jobs, and it is as good a job as any for people "like them". The reasoning from "things are improving" to "society don't owe individuals succor" seem to be illogical, but reoccuring nonetheless.
The comment further up the chain (with the wikipedia links) was referencing the "importance" of 33 and 42 because they show up in quite a few fields -- assigning importance to certain numerical values is a kind of watered-down numerology (the fact that 42 was interesting in this problem doesn't necessarily mean that its "interesting-ness" transfers to the number itself).

(But I didn't bring it up, someone else did -- I was just responding to the argument that "there might be something to it".)
I can't speak for everyone in the comments, but when I say the world's improving, it's a reaction to either defeatism ("we can fix the problem so you shouldn't stop trying") or calls for revolution ("don't flip the table over when things are getting better").

It's not that things are improving so we don't need to do anything else, it's that current efforts are working and we should keep going.

I think a fourth particularly important tribe is missing ... the Modeler.

This a programmer that models systems (real or imagined) into working computer applications. I suggest that in many cases, the other tribes largely exist to support the creation of these systems.

This includes the systems that track and support your money, taxes, utilities, services, scheduling, reservations and insurances amongst others. The systems that enable you to purchase and consume things and have them delivered within the context of a whole supply chain.

It also includes the modeling of control systems, from the software that runs an elevator, to an airport baggage handling system, to an automated warehouse.

Typically in these, the challenge is in abstracting the problem domain under consideration - the determination of what to produce, rather than how to do so.

...because it's a thread about people living on $2 per day. Would you say the trend is irrelevant if it was negative and things were getting worse? How is talking about poverty trends irrelevant deflection?

I totally disagree with the sentiment that being change oriented means avoiding positive news.
> Why does a decrease in world poverty matter in a thread about living on $2 a day

Because if the population living in poverty has decreased by 1 billion in 25 years, then were clearly doing the right things to reduce poverty. If you think reducing poverty is a bad thing because you’d only accept a solution that eliminates it instantaneously, then I’d question your priorities.

I did this in college for a week as part of a $2 dollar a day challenge for a student microfinance club.

I had $14 and I used most of it to stock up on dry beans. I think I ended up with around one and half meals a day, basically of nothing but beans and rice. I didn't last the full week.
