>but the reality is it lulls many into a false sense of security and implicitly blesses dangerous behavior.

There's very little evidence of this actually happening. I'd be curious to see your grounds for making such a bald and unqualified statement. Such statements are usually based not on evidence but on stereotyping of gay male behaviors.
> We're becoming increasing dependent on electricity as time passes, almost to the point it'll be difficult to live well without it. If that ever becomes the case, I would want to see a social effort to ensure electricity becomes available to all, just like health care and drinking water.

I think we're already at that point, which is why many countries have subsidized electricity rates for low-income households.
No. They can't give it to their daughter, because it's not their factory: it's in the ownership of everyone who participated, since we were assuming no capital to start with.

If you aren't born with capital, and don't win the lottery, you can't pay people to build something for you.

You can work very hard, together with other people, and build something as a community. This is difficult and almost never happens in practice, as it requires extreme dedication and some alternate revenue stream to be able to live until the thing being built is done and can be used to produce ongoing value.

But when this does happen, the end result is in the ownership of the community, it is not any one member's to give away or sell.

Alternatively, if you are born with wealth, you can dispense with all that effort, and simply invest several fractions of your wealth in things until you hit on one thing that you can collect rent from. Sure, you'll do some work, but the money accumulated by your ancestors, often built on slave labor, monopolies, theft and other nice things, will do most of the work for you.
All the research on set and setting disagrees with you.
If you are taxed involuntary - isn't that stealing? Well technically by law it is legal and enforced for everyone, but it still is stealing.
For example: if everybody is under the immoral law and some people are better than others at avoiding the immoral law - is it morally okay for those people to avoid that law?

Edit: by involuntary I mean if person can't choose. Not talking about businesses
Your understanding matches my understanding, but you missed the point which was the "ah ha!" moment for me. Which is that the front end developer can design their own endpoints without bothering the back end developer.

When a front end developer wants to request a specific shape of data (e.g. All the people with age between x and y who are within a distance of z of the logged in user and just get their name and list of interests) then with REST they have to either compose that data from the available endpoints or bother a back end developer for a new endpoint.

With GraphQL the front end developer can compose the query themselves without knowledge of any back end technology beyond the GraphQL schema.

E.g. they'd write something like the following, using either a schema reference, or introspection-powered autocomplete UI to find out which fields are valid.

query nearbyCandidates {
allUsers(filters{
isTheLoggedInUser:false,
ageBetween:{start:x, end:y},
closerThan:{distance: z, from: [LoggedInUserPosition]},
}){
interests:{
interestName:name,
description,
}
candidateName:name,
}
}

This actual story is a bit of a fairy tale because you'd still need the two developers to interact if the required fields or filters did not exist.

Finally the general theme of the comments here, that there's nothing stopping you using both, is accurate.

> I was giving reasons why I think that.

I am not saying you’re being disingenuous, but you listed stuff without context. A 1% slice of a pie looks tiny, you need numbers to judge these things not lists.

The context is farmers and ranchers still make up 1.3% of the labor force in the US, but globally 28% of the population are just farmers. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/sl.agr.empl.zs Sure, more productive society’s have whither output for everything but agriculture adds up to ~6% global GDP / per capita GDP.

Now, we can argue that today’s food is better, but meat and fish likely made up a significant fraction of the Stone Age diet. So, suggesting it’s more than 6x more expensive using today’s market value seems unlikely. Note, food going bad is irrelevant as the value existed at one point, and food is temporary.

PS: Of course the population is also ~1,000x as large. So total worldwide GDP should be ~100,000x as large by my estimate, if that makes you more comfortable.
I disagree, the numbers of scientists isn't the problem. The more the merrier. There is certainly enough work to be done.

We just shouldn't expect every scientist to publish papers and use that as basis to determine their success and qualification. If you optimize on that metric, you would write on the same topics as your peers to generate the needed recitations that allegedly proove your ablility.

You cannot industrialize science where at the end is a number that determines scientific advancement.

Is is bad enough that research and economic interest are intertwined, it just plainly shouldn't be the case. But we should look for workable compromises.
I am guessing in many cases, there is no money left for humidifiers. You start out with the idea that you want to build a passivhaus. But you still have a limit on how much you can spend. So all the ventilation stuff is being installed, and the humidity control is being skipped. Which leads to each and every individual apartment considering their own humidifier, which probably pretty much kills the energy-efficientcy-idea that started the whole thing.
At least that is what I observed in my limited small world.
Humidity below 30% is cruelty.

> What are the expected changes that actually will help climate change?

When whole countries are denying there's a problem, I think countries stepping forward to declare there's a problem to be addressed is a (sad but) necessary first step.
The most important thing to understand here is that these people are NOT actually that amazing! They are a wide spectrum of coders, artists and musicians of widely varying capabilities.

What people do have is some very PARTICULAR skillsets. You can pick up those skills too! People will help you out if you ask! You can learn all these tricks if you want to. It takes some effort and inspiration, but it is doable for most people. It's not magic, it's just learning things. Things that are often utterly useless, but fun!

There are two kinds of HN comments.

The first is like the one GP made - absolutely sure of themselves and staying with certainty that there are intractable problems with something. On closer inspection you find that they have no personal experience but they’re really smart and can imagine the worst consequences of everything well.

The second is the one I’m replying to. They have first hand experience and give a more balanced take on the situation.

I’m happy that we get to read both kinds of comments.
You can already assist by flagging comments.
Well, we do have a body of knowledge on those problems, as a sister-comment points out, Biology, and Cybernetics which abstracted the lessons from biology and generalized them to all machine-like systems.

It's just that this body of knowledge is not really compatible with the kind of stuff that the hyper-rationalist cult of lesswrong are into, and so tends to be ignored.

In fact, the author here is re-inventing Cybernetics from whole cloth (especially that of Ashby and Beer, in particular, Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety and Beer's Viable System Model), but without any engagement with the mass of existing knowledge.

[EDIT: I've just realized that the original author is being re-posted on lesswrong in this case, and isn't necessarily part of that milieu. I'd still encourage them (if they're reading) to check out Ross Ashby and Stafford Beer, because their intuitions align very strongly with the kind of research done by those Cyberneticians!]
For me the Rust code is easy to read. Personally I don't think it's reasonable to ask programming languages 'easy to read for people not familiar with them' / 'read like English' / or something similar.

This means that a small difference in skill leads to a large difference in sales

That does not follow at all from your initial observation. You could just as easily state that a small difference in exposure leads to a large difference in sales, thereby taking skill out of the equation again, and thus supporting the GP's initial argument.
You will need the resources to build it eventually. You can easily protect yourself from an individual entity stealing your ideas using a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Not always, but in general, a proof of concept prototype (built in parts, at small scale, or simulated) will be an order of magnitude cheaper than a production unit.

Would a white paper for a free energy generator be accepted to a respected peer reviewed journal? Probably not, but there are tons of these truely worthless granted patents out there diluting the system. I strongly believe we need inventors to prove their claims via demonstration, one way or another.
The fact they didn't already is frankly shocking. Imagine turning up at a random house the other side of the world and being scammed.
Senior Mobile Software Engineer iOS & Android / Gloo / Boulder, CO ON-SITE / Full time / ex-Googlers

We’re pretty lucky to work @ Gloo, and can’t wait for you to join us!

Headquartered in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, Gloo has grown to over 100 employees in the last 6 years, building software for purpose-driven organizations who are doing right by the world.

Rich Hickey's phrase for this is "hammock driven development".
You can't escape judgement, as the parent post shows in his own judgement of other's risk taking behaviour. Some people think it's an 'impossible risk' some people thinks it gives life, a difference of values. The risk is a side thing. The focus is on creating what has value in my world view and somebody else's dream is not it.

I don't make any bones for or against a moral 'argument' in terms of other peoples lives, just a stalwart defense of my own and others like it. I don't think any boss gets far hobbling their employees in any capacity. I have a great respect for the work people do and getting in their way is a waste of everybody's time. For those that dream of a stable job I would encourage them to dream bigger, if they are focused on work and not on some social or personal journey in life.

If everybody was aiming at the same thing I did and valued the same things I did, then yeah they would be losers for copping out on what they want. But not everyone is me and I barely have an opinion beyond passing interest about people who live with different values and goals, but are happy to see them succeed. A rising tide lifts all boats.
There was, a simple, elegant, easy to use and modular framework called JQuery, and it had plenty of plugins for sortable tables.

Unfortunately, we're all too clever for that nowadays, so you'll probably have to download and compile half a terabyte of Rust from a proprietary package manager just to get something that only works in the nightly build of Chrome.

I think your goal is impossible. Even in soviet union that wasn't the case. The best specialists (let's say top surgeons) will always have more influence. If you know that your survivability rate is 50% higher at one surgeon hands than the rest - won't you pay/do whatever you can to survive?

If there is a medium for sharing content and communicating then it will be used. With or without monetization. The infrastructure is still funded because you pay for access and hosting.

Then we need to incentivise peer review, pay people to do it full-time, penalise journals that don't retract, etc.

"The war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage" is one of my favorite pieces of understatement.

Running a Go Database in WebAssembly in Browser
It reminds me more of the early days of touchscreen phone apps.

There were a lot of super gimmicky apps (remember the virtual beer app?), games whose sole reason for existence was that they could use the accelerometer (as a crappy steering wheel, etc.). Remember the shake gesture?

Granted this is far from a perfect comparison, but my point is that the content and usage patterns of smartphones have evolved, often in a different direction than people imagined 10 years ago.

Another example, early YouTube content was also very different from today's YouTube content, etc.

If VR is still around 10 years from now, I expect the use cases, UI patterns, etc. will be quite different from the vision that most people have today.
Datadog is the best all around tool with APM and log monitoring built in. I highly recommend it as it will be substantially cheaper than paying for separate monitoring, apm, logs, etc.
The support is also a lot more receptive towards small business owners unlike other platforms such as New Relic.

Also if you send custom stats to datadog such as login activity, you can use their Anomaly detection to find suspicious behavior.

Disclaimer: we use datadog at my company and have tried all the other popular options. Hands down datadog is the most feature rich and user friendly.
My proposal is that no one person is entitled to own vastly expensive items that required the work of countless people to create. Those items should generally be collectively owned by the people who designed and built them. The profits from operating them should go to the people operating them (which includes marketing and sales people and whatever else is needed), in some democratically chosen percentage.

I said nothing about the state in this. I am still talking exclusively about private property.

And as for food, I believe people are entitled to life, and by implication to anything required to sustain it, such as food, medication, water, air etc. The exact means for realizing this entitlement (free food? UBI? I don't know) are not clear, but the fact that you can starve to death in a country with enough food to feed the whole medieval world is a travesty.
But then, what is a "wealth creator"? Is a teacher a wealth creator? Were the parents of Bill Gates wealth creators? Were Elon Musk in need of a heart transplant, would the surgeon performing it be a wealth creator? Would the heart donor be? Would the director of said hospital be one?
InstaREC | GPGPU Software Developer (3D/Qt) | Stuttgart, DE | Full-Time or Contractor/Freelance | Remote or Onsite

At InstaReconstruct (InstaREC), we’re currently working towards the release of our next-generation photogrammetry and scan processing solution. Like our sister company, InstaLOD, we’re enabling enterprise and entertainment companies to create magical 3D experiences in a faster, automated, and scalable way. From military companies building next-generation simulations and data analysis to leading automotive and game developers — our tech plays a vital part in delivering their project.

InstaREC is a newly established startup, that we’ve introduced for the first time at SIGGRAPH 2019 with fantastic reception from all key players in the industry. Everybody is looking forward to getting their hands onto our new tech.

We're not just looking for coworkers but for stakeholders and adventurers – driven product owners that want to make a difference through their work. We’re looking for passionate C++ software developers with experience in GPGPU programming frameworks and technologies, such as OpenCL and CUDA, GPU based optimizations techniques, and modern 3D frameworks. Ideally, you've used the Qt-framework in past projects.

Because everything is still being built, we don’t have a career website, so it’s an excellent opportunity to be part of something new and rapidly growing. All parts of our startup are still moving and you’ll be able to drive and influence the direction of our company.

Please provide an up-to-date resume including sample code of previous work that you can share to Michael@theabstract.co.
Collating Playstore Reviews of Your Android App for Analysis
Reading this and the parent post makes me think that prisons are actually kind of like elementary school except for adults. Same kind of bullying, establishing pecking order, repercussions of snitching etc. Although a lot more dangerous/scary.
There is of course a reason which is well documented in the papers. Constructors, and initialization expressions can have side effects in C++. An invariant of the language is that member constructors are always invoked in declaration order, so if you were to swap the initializers around, the compiler would still have to initialize them in the original order, which would be surprising.

Which does not means that it couldn't be done, in fact constructor initializer lists have the same issue and you are allowed to list them in any order but this is considered a language mistake and most compilers warn about out of order initializer. This mirror the arbitrary evaluation order of function parameters which is also considered a mistake.

In the end there was no consensus to allowing an arbitrary order, but in the future that can be relaxed without breaking any code if a consensus is reached, while the reverse could not be done.

As usual it is always compromises.

Anyway, at last for me, initializers are more about writing more explicit code and be more robust in the face of changes.
Your product doesn’t even come close to what datadog offers....
Nomad Family Presents the Theory of Eight Flags
Every time i need to copy/paste some important text into something, i run it through notepad so it kills all the (meta)code that may be hidden deep inside the text. I know it may not kill the whitespaces, but it's usually the first thing i do when i get copy/paste crap like that.
But on the other hand, you could be spending that extra time reading and learning about things for your own interest or socializing with your friends for your personal benefit and social health.

Ultimately there is a trade-off between spending time at work and for yourself/friends/family. What the OP and other recent posts are increasingly showing is that the amount of time we really need to spend at work (perhaps especially if you are a knowledge worker) is not as much as our normal hours dictate.

Culture is a strong force.
