I mean....yes. Yes, your carbon footprint is smaller by travelling slower. But you need to be in an extremely priviledged position to be able to afford travelling this way, both financially and time-wise. Cross-atlantic is obviously quite extreme, but even within Europe a train is not really a viable alternative for a lot of people, when I go to visit my family the choice is either a ~£100 Ryanair ticket for a 2 hour flight, or around 40 hour long train journey that will cost at least £500 one way. I just don't have the money or the time to travel this way. I don't know what's the right answer here - I suspect it is "just don't travel then".
Sure. But that's a very weak excuse if it's one at all. I sometimes jaywalk, does this justify me mudering someone? I mean I can't be perfect right so why even try?
> He is allowed to have and has employees.

An article that was posted to HN last year [1] profiled several convenience store franchise holders who, it sounded like, weren't making enough money to afford employees.

After all, if your country has 1.5 jobs per job seeker, raising wages; and you're only making $20 an hour of sales on the overnight shift, you're going to be losing money on that shift.

Of course, you might argue that a business that marginal should just close down - but if you spent $$$$ setting up, stocking and advertising the store, which might have seemed a good investment before another store opened nearby cutting into your sales, the decision to close down might not be an easy one.

It also says that 7-11 has an "area-dominant strategy" where, essentially, having a high density of franchise stores is their business strategy. That's in contrast to many franchises that include an area of exclusive territory, so there's one successful franchise rather than two struggling ones.

"For as long as I can remember, AMD-powered laptops’ potential have been intentionally shortchanged by OEMs for any number of reasons – perceived lower value, kickbacks from Intel, or sometimes legitimate performance limitations."

Seems to be a reason missing from that least - very-low demand.

There are clunky low-end intel laptops just as much as there are AMD laptop ones. If enough people show they are willing to buy these than high-end AMD laptops will sprung up a few minutes after.

The Iranian government recently murdered at least 200 (according to the UN and Amnesty International) and perhaps over 1000 (according to US officials) unarmed Iranian civilians. Many were shot in the back as they ran away. [1,2]

How can Iranians still support that government?

Sanctions are probably the wrong approach - they tend to hurt ordinary people far more than the government - but if I were Iranian, living under a regime that's willing to shoot me in the back, I'd hope for regime change.

"Bro Science" is product-market fit. The market is people obsessed with success and prestige, and bro-science is ideas (and products) marketed at helping them think they have it.

People who self-define as "rational" are harder to sell to upfront, but once you're past the defenses and hooked into their identity they'll actively defend what you've marketed to them.
A bit of a "meta-question" here: is there an comprehensive source about the approval process for this kind of products (or is it considered "as safe as anything else" since it's basically processed plants ?)

Would there be a different process for "lab-grown" meat ?

Does anyone know if such approval processes are substantially different on different sides of the Atlantic ?

I don't think it's disconnected from reality at all. This kind of "underprivileged class" description echoes my experience, but my experience was largely rural poverty rather than urban.

In our case we got to know our neighbours better because we'd borrow things from one another, my parents couldn't afford childcare so I stayed with those same neighbours after school.

It's good you don't understand it, because it wouldn't be better. It be much worse, because as unaccountable as central banks can be they'd be more accountable than that.

But that simply isn't how Bitcoin works. Bitcoin developers have no such authority. People with no special power beside respect and goodwill, write software on their own as they're free to do just are you're free to do. Other people voluntarily chose to run it. If people don't run it, it's completely inert. They cannot force anyone to run it. Subject to the limitations of public review, they cannot make hidden changes. The software has no automatic updates, and the developers have a long history of being extremely vigorously opposed to automatic updates.

Because whatever effect the software has on the network could only be slowly realized as it's deployed (short of something like a crash bug or an RCE or similar) there is ample time for the public to review a new version -- even if they chose to ignore the open development process -- and sound the alarm against running it if they judge it to be adverse.

If you don't like software put out by one developer, you can run software from another. You could create your own (or pay someone to do it) from scratch. You could run an old version. You could take a version you don't like and make modifications until you do...

Moreover, the biggest community of developers in Bitcoin makes their software all free software, develops it on public lists/websites/irc channels, and has taken considerable efforts to maintain compatibility with other software specific to maximize your ability to choose to not run it without feeling too much conflict or hesitation-- You can happily go take Bitcoin 0.8 from 2013 or and years old copy of knots or a number of other forks or alternative implements... start it up and it will sync and come to consensus with the network. (I wouldn't necessarily recommend running something that old exposed to the internet-- due to vulnerabilities-- but you could and it would work fine.)

I would say your freedom is like your freedom with free software, but it isn't quite: If almost everyone else chooses to run something incompatible you can still keep running your original, but you might find yourself on a separate currency from everyone else. Since money gains it's value from network effects you might fine that less than ideal. But that's the limit, and it's also why the Bitcoin community is cautious with incompatible changes-- essentially never having intentionally made one. Faults in version prior to 0.8 make them self-incompatible, unfortunately. If you want to run a version prior to 0.8 and come to consensus with the network today you'd have to patch a database handling bug in it.

I think this is better. It's certainly very different properties than a trusted third party, and even if you're not sure it's clearly better-- perhaps you can agree that diversity and choice is useful and that you're better off for having the opportunity to use it should the need arise.
I actually did some paid technical writing on the side in 2019 on top of my full time job as a developer.

It helped a lot that the company I work for started a technical content agency as a new division of the company and was okay with me doing extra paid work for them outside of normal work hours.

If you're a developer who is also a decent writer, maybe something like this would work for you?

I actually found technical writing to be a nice change of pace from my day job. If I'd tried to do extra paid software work on the side I think I'd have felt burned out rather quickly.

If its interface is not simple and elegant, I don't see how you can call git simple and elegant, since it's how all users will interact through the interface. And personally I prefer a VCS with less ways to shoot myself in the foot than git.
I look at this from the opposite perspective, the person who doesn't care much for success and prestige but has to deal with the toxic side-effects of those that do.

I grew up an only child in as single parent household where I was taught that it's better to quietly build a stable secure foundation for your life, rather than to put yourself "out there" and hope for the best. My mothers attitude was that it is better to have a boring stable job that provides enough for you and your family than to be rich or famous. For example she implored me to study for a fall-back manual trade in case the computing degree thing didn't work out.

Recently, I decided to go self-employed and do my own thing in my own time. This was driven by the fact that having worked for a few startups I couldn't deal with the success at all costs approach of some of the founders and managers. For example being forced to push out new features before they are ready, knowing that the technical debt is mounting and that it will come back to bite me one day. Trying to explain why stuff like this was a bad idea would be met with a response implying I didn't care for the company and didn't value success. I also got frequently reprimanded for refusing to do overtime on a regular basis, preferring instead to be with my family. Plus all this was usually coupled with some horrific "Fake it till you make it" promotional activities that we'd get roped in to.

One of the founders went out and got himself a Porsche 911 and put an email around the office showing it off and telling us if we worked hard to make the company a success we too could afford a similar car. Lord knows how he paid for it as the company was losing €3million a year at that point.

All the while I would be acutely aware of the fact that the founders had already churned through four or five failed startups. They were trying out ideas in the hope that one was succeed and make them rich and famous. If another failed they wouldn't care for the people being let go as they would just move on to their next idea.

Having ambitions is good, but I think we as a society are pressured in to setting those ambitions far too high. I am worried by the rising suicide rates in many places, are we pressuring people to chase unattainable life goals until they crack? I think that is part of it.

Absolutely. Purchasing real estate (or even a Tesla, etc) is out of reach for people like me, and likely will be for 10+ years from now.

Say someone makes 150% or more of what I make (ergo are valued 150% superior in a fair labor market) and they can save far more and build a their net worth significantly faster even with a more luxurious lifestyle.
Realistically it does have to have a computer, but not necessarily a visible one. Power motor control is tricky - it requires monitoring the phase angle between the drive currents and the motor position, as well as things like overcurrent protection and the ability to switch to regenerative braking. Oh and you'll want traction control in there because the torque is highest at zero RPM, unlike petrol motors.

Even electric scooter size motors will have smart controllers. They're a big market for microcontrollers, e.g. TI: http://www.ti.com/solution/dc-input-bldc-motor-drive

I think that this will depend on the actual performance of the CPU.

While apple is a huge manufacturer, MS did choose to use them in their surface laptops. And as much as I wanted the previous mobile ryzen cpus to take off, most of the reviews were against them in the battery life tests while the performance tests weren't enough to make up for it. The same was true for any amd powered laptop, not only for surfaces.

If you think those taxes are huge it suggests that you don't understand how you could be paying less overall for the above mentioned things if you had a consolidated population driving costs down. or that your comfortable with inequality as long as you get yours.
