I have the exact same feeling/thoughts. They spend a few decades not sharing any of the oil profits, and suddenly they want our cash for a promise (Aramco, everything-Softbank invests in). Especially on the oil business, the sooner it dies out the better it will be for the planet (climate change) and humanity (wars, civil unrest).

I will leave on the side the political (dictatorship) factor.

I guess that manipulating oil price to hurt Russia and Venezuelan, also took a bite of Saudis wallet.
I've read through the comments related to relationships here and a lot of the same arguments were made. One that stood out was "Women are selectors and men take what they can get" (paraphrased) and a few similar statements.

This isn't a bad thing. [1][2][3][4] If you as a straight man are putting some effort into being a decent human being and better dating prospect, in the long term you're far more likely to have a good outcome than a woman of "equal" "value" (subjective concepts).

Where did the made up title for the HN post come from?

While catchy, that line is neither the title, byline, or even a sentence from the article.

EDIT: Ha! A search for the article shows the original title. So either Bloomberg is feeding clickbait titles purely to Google or they switched it after it went live. New title is "Saudi Aramco Needs to Get Realistic About Its IPO".

> does Elm not having type classes is actually a feature that boosted its success

I dont think so. It did help make errors very straight forward and prolly also keeps compile times low.

The author's stubbornness is, in my view, more in that he does not support (actually prevents where he can) making Elm usable outside of the browser (like what Node did to JS).
Do investors know 1) how much oil can be extracted at what levels of cost and 2) how much royalties and taxes will the company have to pay to the Saudi government in the future?

Current cash flow based on current costs, levels of production and royalty/tax payments are largely irrelevant.

Seems risky to me.

In that second passage, I like that Hochschild tried to be clear, she is not blaming these (mostly women) for finding that burdensome, she's saying we should ask "What is up with our society that things that ought to be enjoyable time with and caring for family, expression of love have become burdensome and alienating"? And And, the unsaid next step, what can be done?

> I’m not just saying, “Oh, how terrible to think making a magical experience is alienated work.” I’m saying, “Well, why has it become alienated work?” The solution is not for men and women to share alienated work. The solution is for men and women to share enchanted work. These are expressions of love.

Why is it our personal family life seems like a job?

I can vouch that #974 "quarto di gallone" is actually one among the less common sentences ever spoken in Italian, more probably it is #25896746 in the real world, but it's still better than #541 "am" which is not Italian.

I thought that there's a short-term link (any given more polluted day) was interesting, and follows another recent study (or perhaps it was police analysis) that linked air pollution to short-term rise in violent crime.
> And IIRC, you could go from a 56k modem to another 56k modem.

Nope, the theoretical max between two 56k modems via a normal CO connection is 38k, in reality it usually meant 33.6k at best.

As you sorta alluded to, a 56k modem increases that due to the removal of the ADC on the ISP side, with the ISP having a digital connection to the CO.

Sounds like he's noting that the link found is (as you say) weak to non-existent. Which supports the claim in this Scientific American article: that studies are inconclusive and as such we have no reason to believe the technology is safe.

Also worth pointing out here (as I have elsewhere) that the ACSH link is not from reputable org. It seems to be the only link people are posting and re-posting to rebut Moskowitz's research here on HN.

> It really does give you a bleak portrait of the tolerance for inhumanity within the context liberal Capitalism. California is ostensibly as “wacky leftist” as the US gets and it’s a bleak, cruel place in many regards.

Maybe that means that “leftism” isn’t actually the thing that makes for more tolerance for humanity? Leftist policies haven’t prevented California from having the highest poverty rate in the country, the highest income inequality in the country, sprawling homeless encampments, etc. Many places in the US are considerably less “leftist” but also considerably less bleak. Homelessness rates, for example, are much lower in West Virginia and Mississippi than in California: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/17/us/homelessness-californi....

> By the way we do not even have a social system to speak of. So lucky you!

In what (perhaps small or big) way do you think others could help?

I hope that we can eventually have a social system for anyone. I hope AI will take care of this with good political leadership (one can hope).

However, even the Dutch social system isn't a heaven. It's good, but not heaven.

Good: I have success stories from family members who got their hearing back after a 15000 euro's operation that they got for free-ish (and 25+ years of being almost deaf, so there was a waiting time but also the technology needed to be there). Other family members who got a stroke got access to government housing or free personalized medical care.

Bad: I know one troubled person who is kind, but has a very very troubled mind. I'm honestly surprised this person isn't dead. The list includes almost freezing to death and being on your way to starve to death. And that's only what I know, and I know nothing. For the truly troubled mind, the Dutch social system doesn't work at all. Since all of my family is working/middle class, I wonder what goes on in the lower class families and the Dutch social system. My guess is: it's even worse.

With that said, the "being significantly helped" to "almost death on the street ratio" in my family is about 3 to 1. And since I know almost nothing, I daresay that ratio is a conservative negative estimate in my particular family. Fortunately, most of my family is simply fine.
Stop reading crap that forces you to skim. Start reading worthwhile things instead.
This is the second article I've read on SciAm's _blog_ platform that has disappointed me with its pseudo-scientific tone. The previous was a rant[1] against GMO which prompted considerable dissent[2]. I get that the blogs authors have more editorial freedom, but opinions that stray so far from the scientific mainstream puts the fine magazine's reputation at risk.

Goalposts notwithstanding you have to admit the list is kind of hit or miss. Whenever their job isn't listed they're either retired or were never in a related field. For example you listed Harvard, Columbia, Monash, and McGill above. Half the people from those institutions are either unqualified, retired, or both.

Plus there's places like "ElectroSensitivity UK" which aren't scientific institutions.

PS - I fully admit that there are subject experts from trusted institutions included too. But you're being far too defensive for quite legitimate questions/criticisms.
True... but odds are also that IF civ's get near to Kardashev 1, there's a good chance they ALSO build AI's, which even if they died out, the AI would live on being synthetic and nearly immortal.

I think it's odd we don't see more synthetic ai type signs of life out there, at least.

I think if we do kill ourselves we might have AI before then to at least broadcast to the universe that we were here.

The opposite is true in my experience. Most of that boilerplate is brackets and indentation, which visually frame the interesting bits, drawing your eye to them. This is, of course, subjective, but I use both regularly and at worst this is not a problem for Go.
I agree that Miso deserves a mention. It seems to be very actively maintained.

On the other hand, if you reject GHCJS then Miso is out of the running immediately. And the reason to reject GHCJS (big bundles, as mention in the article) is something you dont have in Elm/PureScript/ReasonML.

I think you are right in most cases, but I find wikis to be excellent for how-to/recipe kind of information.

These can be either technical (e.g how to bootstrap a new repository or how to connect to this database), organisatorial (e.g how to apply for vacation or how to apply for conference funds) or simply office related (e.g how to print something, how to refill coffee-beans on the coffee-machine).
if the ceo can’t figure it out he needs to be replaced.
> Elm is playing the JS world's game (obeying the rules)

I disagree, though the meaning isn't clear. Elm is interesting, but it's not part of the JS world, and it doesn't come close.

Just recently, the Norway Railways described their experience with Elm. It was largely positive, but one of the main two negative points was the difficulty to interoperate with JS libraries. They tried it, and failed hard (many runtime errors). BTW, the other pain point was the restrictions on packaging, which is quite orthogonal with the (npm) JS world.

I think the only thing at fault here is Google's UI. I don't have a problem with companies having two tracks to the front page of Google (organic and paid placement), but the ads take up so much space at the top, and they are so poorly differentiated from organic results.

My analogy is the yellow pages, which is two things: A vehicle for ads, and a reference list of phone numbers. The sections are distinguished, by white/yellow pages for business/personal numbers, and with ads standing apart and looking different on the page. And YP never screwed with alpha order. They can make their money on ads and you can use the phone book for its raison d'être: a list of businesses/people.
> Being a politician is probably a thankless task. I’ve no doubt it’s difficult.

I worked part-time for a backbench MP for a while. There is no time off for a politician: if you are awake, you are on duty. At home? Constant calls and texts from colleagues, journalists and party officials. Out shopping? You'll be interrupted. Celebrating wedding anniversary at a nice restaurant? You'll be interrupted. Walking down the street? Insults yelled from cars. Plus you are expected to show up for everything. Every new classroom, every intersection being repainted, every Northern Districts Cat Club AGM, every school fête, every art exhibition, everything. And you are expected to fix everything, whether or not you are even the right level of government for it: immigration policy, local hospital, the roof of the primary school, potholes, rubbish collection, council rates, parking fines. You are blamed for thousands of things beyond your direct control and outside your legal control.

It is actually a terrible job.

I was in CA last year with the major wildfires going on. Not there this time, so am curious if this approach worked this year.

If yes, I suppose that controlled, scheduled blackouts is a positive move (not a competent one given that this is CA we are talking about) as it avoids a huge loss of lives, property, forest and avoids a ton of air pollution. (The generators are gonna cause it anyways. :( )

On the flip side, is PG&E using this time to improve infrastructure or should expect it to extend the timeline by another decade in 7-8 years from now?
I'm amazed at how many people here actually decline to click on the links in the article, which would guide one to a large list of scientific publications, with links to the original publications themselves.

Yet they are very ready to call "more than 240 scientists who have published peer-reviewed research on the biologic and health effects of nonionizing electromagnetic fields" "wackos" or "cranks with a PhD", call their research "bullshit" or "impossible", call the people "thruthers" or claiming "Russian troll farms" are behind this story.

I don't think I've ever seen so much non-scientific HN comments on a science article.

At the same time, everybody seems to accept that the chance of getting cancer in your lifetime has risen to about one in three for men and one in five for women. And nobody knows why. However everybody who points to a possible answer is shot down without much investigation. Sad, really.
It's performative hypermasculinity.

In the 80s and 90s (and to a slightly lesser degree now still) nerds were generally portrayed as effeminate and unmanly. However they would still retain similar toxic ideas about manliness while dismissing "jocks" or anyone too popular or outside their culture. Basically the "while you were busy partying and having sex I studied the way of the sword" meme but played straight.

This means that e.g. "girly" hobbies might be fine and only earn you some mild mockery but being openly gay or seriously empathising with women could easily render you an outcast because you're disrupting the peace unless you "keep your head down".

The idea of solving disagreements through competition is an example of this. Instead of trying to get to the root of the disagreement and resolve a conflict through mutual understanding and dialogue, it determines a "winner" who comes out on top and the "loser" has to roll over and be humiliated for even daring to speak up.

A "play fight" or a round of Rocket League may not result in physical injury but it's still an aggressive display of dominance rather than a cooperative exchange. It's easy to see how this fits in with other ideas of "bros being bros" (or "boys being boys").

Of course nothing in this has anything to do with manhood. You can be a woman and utterly "destroy" someone at Rocket League or wrestle a man into submission. But not only is this behavior "male coded" (i.e. we're socialised to look at it as masculine rather than feminine) but a woman behaving this way would still stick out simply by being a woman and even more so if she doesn't fully commit to performing masculinity in every other way too (i.e. if she ever isn't playing along as "one of the guys", she'll stick out as an outsider again).

TL;DR: being male doesn't mean you think solving disputes through silly competitions is a good problem solving skill but doing so can be comforting if you feel insecure about your peers judging your masculinity, even if you're all nerds.

Quantum Computing Is Coming, Bit by Qubit
The better way to think about it is that you want to be close to the money. If you can quantify your contribution easily (I was the lead on product X that was a huge success/ brought in $Y additional revenue) you have little trouble getting some share of that success. If you can't (I fixed the tests so that they're no longer flaky and improved the overall product quality), then generally it's a lot harder to get the deserved recognition, even if your impact was actually larger! The trick is to go back to money, when you can (be specific, "build machines are costing us $X/Mo, people used to rebuild three times on average to get a "green status" so just by that I saved 0.66*$X/Mo; add an estimated y% of developer time; add cost of extra incidents/ support tickets if you can quatify it; and all of the sudden you can reasonably claim a larget $ amound that much more will easily get the attention of a high-level manager).
Hm. Sure, some people just point to how the same thing happened with GSM, 2G, 3G, 4G, WiFi... but that's just a fallacy, because we also know that gamma rays, X-rays and UV are harmful, so deductively there must be some grey zone between 3G and hard gamma rays. Since we can't simply infer the health effects with certainty from first principles (let's say from physics/chemistry) we should demand relevant data.

But we have a lot of data (even if not as an enormous pile as about WiFi), and we know that so far the evidence points to no unexpected effects. There are interesting avenues of inquiry about
the effects of 50-70 GHz on biology (heating of insects, interference with bacterial growth), of course those effects are a lot smaller than what we already do from air pollution to manufacturing an dumping lot of chemicals everywhere, heating our cities, and so on.
I was hoping for some security implications....
Asking people to do things without a threat or weapon to coerce them with often doesn't work either.

Just because something doesn't work well when done right, doesn't mean it should be done wrong. There are ways to gather data necessary to inform product decisions without surveillance, or turning your users into non-consenting test subjects.

(EDIT: Nevertheless, I'm very happy about the values they describe and that they chose to store the data locally. It makes me trust the authors that much more, and conversely, if it wasn't local, I wouldn't even consider using it.)
