> There are a billion things that produce no net social value but are ignored.

Was going to reply "name three", but I see you covered that in your other post - well, two out of three; "Ferraris for show-off producers in LA, or Hello Kitty backpacks".

But those other things don't have a superlinear growth in energy consumption baked into the fundamentals of operation. A Hello Kitty backpack doesn't need schoolchildren to keep burning electricity just to secure its contents.

Most things are O(n) - O(n log n) in energy use to general utility provided, and top out at some point. Proof of Work chains need that just to keep the network working, regardless of any utility provided on top (which arguably is near-zero for any legitimate use case).

But I agree with the general point - pricing in full externalities of energy use would go a long way towards fixing things, including Bitcoin's existence.
your definition of "good investment" is not a workable definition because you're basing it a priori on the future outcome that you don't know yet: "if that appreciation increases in price faster than wage growth or inflation it's a good investment"

What is a house's expected appreciation compared to inflation? that's all bound up in the "crowdsourced" current market price already.

It's something else that makes a house a good investment, rather than your definition, and I tried to illustrate that in my first answer by pointing out that stocks are good investments without knowing precisely how individual stocks will perform in the future.

There is also something of a "wicked problem of wicked problems," which is that wicked problems are very hard to talk about---one of their survival traits is that they're unappealing to talk about, because by definition you can't "solve" them easily.
FWIW: Java was originally released in 1996, it had no generics, and didn't gain them until 2004 - 8 years after the language's creation.

Was Java "total trash" before 2004? Not really, it was still useful in lots of use cases - it just didn't have any generics.

Go at least has generics for its built-in collection types (maps, slices) - which, in that respect, arguably places it ahead of where Java was for a whole 8 years.

You can solve for human nature. 3200 years ago we were all in a Prisoners Dilemma stuck at backstab backstab (literally killing each other). And then Moses came down from Mt Sinai and said Thou Shalt Not Kill, and lo, the solution to the dilemma was coordinated by shared principles. I think the solution to today-era social problems will probably look something like that.
That joke was made precisely because it's difficult to measure results from advertising. Sure, online banner ads can be precisely measured for click rates, but having spent money on things like billboards, magazine ads, etc. It's difficult to consistently capture the particular ad or place that someone heard about a business. It's difficult to know how many exposures it takes to make an ad effective without going overboard (you can oversaturate, as Bloomberg has proven).

Also, IQ is no defense for persuasion techniques. If you're not keen on the biases influencing your decisions and filters on the world, no amount of intelligence will save you. I think that requires practicing skepticism, both of yourself and of others.

Unrestricted social signaling games absolutely have runaway costs and zero net social benefits; if we're going to address those, we're right back to "charge for externalities", which was the solution anyway, and completely unspecific to Bitcoin.

Edit:

Rahm Emmanual was indeed initially in Obama's cabinet, but he didn't last a year. Perhaps his politics didn't fit with the tenor of that administration.

> I think drastic steps including quarantining US cities are warranted

Do you expect whole cities, such as Seattle and San Francisco to be able to survive when people are not allowed to go to work? People such as grocery store workers, restaurant employees, Uber drivers, and so on?

Who will pay their rent?

The United States, at present, is not prepared, at all, for handling a month-long quarantine of any major city. The poor people in that city will suffer, hard, and the fall out will be worse than the 2% death rate in those cities.

Ask HN: What are you doing to prepare for Covid-19?
Last night friends and I [who work in tech in the Bay Area] had a 90 minute conference call to compare notes and discuss plans for anticipated COVID-19 impacts of various kinds. Topics included prophylactic measures and preparation–and where we thought the line is between prudence with paranoia. (And, how to stay equanimous and productive.) TLDR the consensus is things could get Real Bad in the US. How are you preparing, personally and professionally?
It's a much deadlier flu that nobody has an immunity to, that we can't vaccinate for, that China managed to contain at grievous economic cost, and that the United States is failing to contain.

That should be pretty alarming. I understand that a 20-something-year-old with no medical conditions may not give a damn about this sort of thing, but as a public health problem, this one is incredibly serious.

"What we will note is that Ampere de-rated both the AMD EPYC 7742 and Xeon Platinum 8280 results by 16.5% and 24% respectively. This was done to adjust for using GCC versus AOCC2.0 and ICC 19.0.1.144. Ampere disclosed this, and it is a big impact. Arm servers tend to use GCC as the compiler while there are more optimized compilers out there for AMD and Intel."

If I read this right, they reduce their competitors' benchmarks because they have better compilers? Can anyone justify this?

"If you insult virtually everybody, they're going to throw the shit back at you."

Assholes tend to walk into a room looking for something to bitch about. Of course, if that's what you're doing your always going to find something to bitch about.

Years ago I started telling people that were being assholes "Shit flows both ways". The intent was to make them realize anyone can be an asshole, and that if they didn't stop I would demonstrate this to prove my point.

Most assholes deny anyone can do that to them. They tend to think they're perfect and have no faults, make no mistakes, and are far superior to everyone around them.

But being an asshole is about the easiest thing there is to do so I'd just keep an eye out for an opportunity and jump on it when it arose. It doesn't take long to find something and depending on the circumstances I would either do it in a public or private setting to give them a taste of their own behavior.

They'd either hate me or apologize afterwards but they always stopped being an asshole to me after I proved that point.
The criticism of an unrelated study by Prof. Rogoff were politically motivated as well. No one is free of political bias. And no study, especially in economics is beyond criticism. As the article notes, the authors freely acknowledged and also responded to criticisms which they believed were unwarranted. But all that is not related to the points addressed in the article. As it happens, Ken Rogoff's accomplishments, which are considerably more extensive than the brief bio at the end of the article, are more than sufficient to rebut unrelated criticism. Regardless of your political views, discounting or ignoring Ken Rogoff's views on economic matters is a mistake.

I mostly agree, but you're forgetting an important part of the tech presence: a lot of those companies hold public parties with free beer and food.

A common adage is that the best service a brokerage can provide is to cut the phone lines during a crash :)

Regardless: Robinhood is aimed at individual consumers, not sophisticated investors. It's not uncommon for prosumers to have several brokerages, but of course you're limited in the size of the moves you can make (probably not a bad thing for the median Robinhood user).

If you cared this much, you probably had IBKR.

> 1) It fully stopped all the PR coverage of the Hong Kong protests,

Coverage of that was already dwindling as the months went by and there was no major action by the PRC. In addition, the more extreme protestor actions, like destroying the subway and other infrastructure, made it harder to write about.

I think once some of the protesters became violent, such as setting a bystander on fire, and killing that janitor by throwing a brick at him, coverage decreased significantly.

One thing interesting about the coverage of the Hong Kong protests is it overshadowed the protests in other regions, like Kashmir, Iraq, Venezuela, Indonesia, France, and a bunch of other places.
The most recent study I could find is here:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.28.20028068v...

"The mean incubation was 8.42(95% confidence interval [CI], 6.55-10.29) days... COVID-19 course was approximately 2 weeks."

Fairly small sample size of 55 patients, which means the reliability may be debatable, and giving figures to two decimal places is meaningless. (In fact any decimal places are meaningless, unless someone times the exact moment of exposure.)

That aside - it seems very unlikely that 24 day incubations will be common.

Broadly it seems most people who become symptomatic will show symptoms within 10 days and will recover within two weeks after the symptoms appear. A small percentage - mostly older and unwell - will become seriously ill, and an even smaller percentage will die.

Meanwhile the presence of untraceable infections strongly suggests that a significant number of people - possibly a majority - either don't develop symptoms at all, or don't consider them serious enough to require medical attention.
Hmmm... maybe there is an opportunity here in replacing all the Unix tools with simple versions.

Ask HN: Why French auto manufacturers are not present on U.S. market?
I have just read about PEUGEOT 208, a nice-looking city car that has recently been awarded the title 2020 European Car of the Year. In addition to combustion engine versions (gas and diesel), the manufacturer also offers a fully electric version (e-208) with a range of 217 miles and relatively fast charging (0%-80% charging time of 30 min.). With this in mind, I'm curious about your thoughts on why major French auto manufacturers (Peugeot, Renault, Citroen) are not present on U.S. market (though this Quora thread sheds some light: https://www.quora.com/Why-are-Renault-Citroen-Peugeot-and-Dacia-not-sold-in-the-USA).

I kept a journal for a few years before I started reading what I had written. The reason I didn't read what I was writing was the same as yours. I did eventually start forcing myself to read what I was writing, though, and even though it can feel uncomfortable or embarrassing, I think it has had a profound effect.

I actually identified certain behavior patterns in my life by reading my journal, that I was not explicitly aware of when I was writing those entries. Depending on the length of your entries, you could read months or weeks of entries in one go, and have a bird's eye view of your own time that you would never get otherwise. You might also get some insight into your own perception of time; one thing I noticed is that events that happened around 2-3 days ago feel like they "just happened", to me, while events ~4-5 days ago feel much further in the past, and I am more likely not to have the experiences of those days at the front of my mind.

tl;dr: If you power through the discomfort and read your own writing, the result might be interesting enough to offset the discomfort.
