Do you not think it's just a little patronizing, to imply that the native communities... can't be trusted to know how to use money to improve their communities? That they aren't educated enough balance their land against the needs of their people?

Like, I could phrase this more inflammatorily, but the idea that "oh, the responsible white/asian leaders should hold the land in _trust_ for the natives, until they're responsible enough to take care of it properly"... is pretty indefensible, IMO.
No one talks about the cars.

200k drivers. $25k for the kit (car, phone, misc). That's $5,000,000,000 of costs Uber & Lyft ducked.

What other employment requires you to front the boss $25k for the privilege of earning starvation wages?

For years, both Lyft and Uber have said that if they are forced to reclassify gig workers as employees that such a change would have an adverse effect on their profitability...

No doubt.

Respect.

The OP story feels like a metaphor for the Earth's rape, destruction, and, pollution (ecocide) and mass extinction era (terracide) which ultimately leads to death of all people (omnicide), descendants (prolicide), and self (suicide).

If we cannot connect what's done to the planet to our survival, not necessarily that digging up particular tracts of land is the end of the world, but that certain kinds of widespread actions do cause very indirect, slight, invisible, deferred harm.

Exactly, does getting designated a world heritage site mean getting UN funding to preserve it and make up the opportunity cost of not selling it? If not, it's just wealthier countries patting themselves on the back for being such good custodians of world heritage while pushing the actual unseen costs onto the economically impoverished.

If someone actually cares enough about the site, raise the money to buy it up and preserve it however you like.
Focusing on the fact that the guy shot first is way more misleading, as it detracts from the important issue of no-knock, plain-clothes warrants.

A group of people breaks into someone's house at midnight with weapons and it's not a story that someone defended themselves, at all. Bringing it up is a distraction - and this entire HN thread is a perfect example of that.

If the guy hadn't shot, or had shot second, or if Taylor hadn't been killed at all, it wouldn't make what they did justifiable. The fact that their absolute negligence led to a situation where a woman died is just what makes this that much more important to focus on.

It is not moved to another section "for a snappier piece" as you put it in another comment. It is simply not important information, it is not relevant, it does not change the judgment, it does not change that the police are responsible for her death.
I agree. People are people, those in the past didn’t have as much information as we do now but that doesn’t mean they weren’t as sharp.

We do see development in ideas over time, but this is separate to the idea that if we don’t understand what they were doing then it must have been religion. Arguments to religion are a classic trope in archaeology. Although this doesn’t explicitly mention that this is the case, I think it’s worth pointing out that people would have known that all dice were fair, but some were fairer than others.
> At this point, nobody wants to go in for routine examinations or non-emergency procedures. For-profit hospitals (almost all of them are) as a business, depend on providing these non-emergency services/ surgeries/ procedures. Hospitals across the country are laying off health-care workers en-masse.

Nitpick: Over half of US hospitals are nonprofits or government owned [1] though I believe hospitals are vastly outnumbered by private clinics and independent practices. Doesn't change your overall point - even the hospitals run by governments, the Catholic church, and other institutions have budgets and are watching their main incomes disappear without much hope for the near future.

Even Castle Doctrine or Stand Your Ground cannot help you if you are being attacked or harassed by the police.

Ask HN: Resources to Understand Market and Demand
I am at a point where I am good enough to build apps and services but inexperienced enough that the only problems that I can address with said apps are generally things I have friction with.

Do you use any tools to understand what companies are lacking, what they're looking for in terms of software/services, general trends? It is often said that if you solve '1% efficiency' issues in a large but unknown sectors you stand to gain for it. Well, how can you identify these issues, or more generally where money is being spent on by companies? Any public information or way to extract this? Thanks
For context, I'm a Guardian reader, not overly partial to mining and love the Australian outback. The earlier Rio Tinto issue appeared to concern an older and more significant site. With this BHP case, it's hard to get a real idea of what sort of heritage sites we're talking about without details/images. If there were evocative images, I think we'd be seeing them in the article. I wondered if many in this case are not so much caves as people think of them, but very small alcoves you could store food in or maybe lie down in. The areas mined seem flatter than some of the more exciting formations in the northern WA region that don't make national park designation.

I'm torn because if you need to mine somewhere, remote parts of Australia might as well be the place. But on the other hand, once you give over these truly wild areas to development, they're not coming back, especially from mining.

Great job. I am learning to build apps in android. Currently most of the tutorials and even books I come across have quite small examples to follow, usually 2 activity files and 2 layout files. Honestly, the progress to building a substantial app is a bit slow because the projects are so small.

I want to know how you made the jump to 10+(activity and layout) files in a project, what resources lead you to getting to this level?

'Master' and 'slave': Tech terms face scrutiny amid anti-racism efforts
It seems to go in both directions: you can ask for one that has some meaning to you (which you can then potentially get if no one is using it), or you can try to make up a backronym. I don't remember good backronym examples but I know they exist. The stations will also vary in whether they prefer for people to pronounce the whole callsign, or just part of it, or spell it out. (Technically I think the callsign is always spelled out when used as a callsign, but not necessarily when used as a brand.)

In your hypotheticals, the doctors lose their licenses and go to jail, the tellers lose whatever certs they have and go to jail. We rarely see police go to jail for their crimes.

It's spread out across a wide range of things. No specific market segment comes to mind. Personally I encountered it with enough things, often enough that it became a point of frustration, and I started using a gmail address for most 'ordinary' online purchases, which is an inbox set to auto-forward-everything to the firstname@lastname address.

I agree that it's a huge UX problem - one of the reasons why a lot of online checkout processes have you type your email address in two separate fields, twice. Without some guardrails in place, there is probably a not insignificant number of people who typo their email address in a single field, or type a malformed address, and then complain to customer service or their credit card company when they never receive an emailed invoice.

This fact is missing something essential; Kaiser Permanente is a nonprofit but it sure isn't what you think of when you use that term. Also, it's something of a minor nit - nonprofit corporations need revenue too.

My wife is a nurse for Dignity Health (another "nonprofit" hospital here in California) and has been effectively laid off for the last couple months. It's great that the ER is empty, but in the mean time nurses are struggling and people aren't getting their cancer screenings.

Gyms Will Reopen, but Fitness Apps Are the Future
More and more researchers start to believe that the virus (also) spreads as aerosols. They also believe the amount of virus that enters your body affects how sick you get. This might also be the reason that healthy health workers can get sick when they are exposed a lot.

So I have no doubt that working as health worker without enough protective gear is scary when you see healthy collegues getting sick.

But that does not mean that going for herd immunity is a bad thing. We know now that most people even don't know they have the virus when they were just exposed a little bit to it.

And if the virus travels like an aerosol it might even be true that the world wide protests that are going on in the open air won't lead to much more sick people.

But this also means that people inside a bad ventilated building are at risk.

Edit: an example of an article that explains this more in depth: https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200527/aerosol-scientist-c...

To

Breonna's boyfriend fearing for his safety fired several shots at the plain-clothed men who had just broken into his home. These police officers returned fired, striking Breonna at least eight times.

When most people read "Kenneth got into a brief confrontation with John. John then fired four rounds at Kenneth." they will assume brief confrontation means "shouting and cursing match" or "physical altercation" not "fired a gun at".
Well, that's too bad. I always thought this was a cool project. But if you can't dev your way into decent performance for a small alpha project using python/flask/sql, I don't think your tools are the problem. And I guarantee that a graphql isn't the solution.

In England there is a "Schedule of Monuments" to protect nationally important archeological sites. This is in addition to a much larger number of listed buildings, which are protected separately. Scheduled sites can be bought and sold, but any work that could damage them needs permission from Historic England. There are 20,000 monuments on the list, from Stonehenge to the former US nuclear missile bunkers at RAF Greenham Common, alongside thousands of hillforts, burial mounts etc. Doesn't Australia have anything similar?

A few years ago a philosopher wrote an article in the New York Times that suggested that maybe the gods were real in antiquity, on the tacit presumption that belief in gods was then universal, such universality being a consequence of common and widespread divine manifestations that eradicated doubt.

Of course, he was trying to be provocative, but I took issue with the presumption of universality. When I wrote to remind him that Plato briefly discussed atheists in The Laws, implying that atheism among young adults was common, though invariably transitioning to adherence to the local faith as they grew older and wiser[1], he replied with, "Oh, yeah, I forgot."

[1] Of course, there's multiple ways to interpret Plato's argument, including 1) older, wiser people came to see the truth of the existence of the gods and 2) older, wiser people came to see the usefulness of shared belief in the gods, regardless of the actual existence of the gods.
On the undergrad side, the universities are making so much money from foreign students because they're charging them rack rate, whereas most U.S. students get some form of financial aid from the university. If you replaced a U.S. student with a foreign student, the university is going to have to tighten its belt.

For grad students, the tuition waiver costs the same amount regardless of where the student is from. Assuming you could fill the ranks with (presumably less qualified overall) U.S. students, and the same amount of grant money was available, it doesn't make any difference.
