Yes, it is facing the wrong way but it is a tad complicated.

You see, eons ago, caste in Indian society was not right, it was your job (warrior = Kshatriya, scholar = bramhin, trader = baniya, labourer = shudra).

The first three called themselves upper class and the last one was the lower class.

Among the first three, the first one think that they're upper than the other two. The second one thinks that they're upper than the third.

But this was never hereditary. if you were born to a Bramhin (basically any person who had the brains to be a scholar) and if you didn't have the knack of being a 'scholar' you could become a warrior if you had the skills, or a trader, if you had those skills. If you had no such skills then you were the labourer.

But what happened is, centuries after this tradition started, it was made hereditary. So only sons of Bramhins can be scholars, only sons of Kshatriyas can be warriors, only sons of Baniyas can be traders and all Shudras were forever shudras.

The architect scholar and almost superman historical Dr Ambedkar was a Mahar aka Dalit aka Shudra. This guy graduated at the top of LSE, has written extensively on India and almost all of his writings were 100% spot on (his thoughts about why it was good that Pakistan formed for Indian Army's balance or what'll happen when Hindu nationalism will rise etc)

But he was treated as shit just because he was born a Mahar.

Now the tragical thing is that Mahars were warriors in Shivaji Maharaj's time (he was a Deccan King who was kinda democratic and not cruel like Mughals. Even actual Gods are below him in my state, people, including atheists like me worship him, not in temples obviously. It is like you can insult Gods and it'd be fine but if you insult him then you are done)

During his reign, Mahars were fierce warriors and had their own regiment in his army. But his descendents weren't exactly great and in the 3rd generation king's army, only 'higher caste' khastriyas could be warriors and others were treated as literally shit. there has been documented evidence (thank God for the documentation) that at the end of the Peshwa rule, the lower class people had to attach a broom at their backside so that they'd sweep the land they walked on because they were considered 'filthy' (not physically). No lower class man or woman or child was allowed in upper class wells, temples. they were not allowed to have horses in their weddings etc. Some of these practices are still rampant in India where upper caste privileged people are blind. you can see quite a few in this thread who are either blind or racist.

basically this was just like slavery without higher caste people owning the lower caste people.

> it exacerbates the issue of voting being highly tactical.

No. Approval voting has been extensively studied by game theory experts like NYU political science professor Steven Brams, and found to be one of the most resistant to tactical voting. Computer simulations show it performing exceptionally well even with highly strategic voters.

https://www.rangevoting.org/BayRegsFig.html

https://rpubs.com/Jameson-Quinn/vse7

There's even a mathematical theorem (proof) that, given plausible strategic behavior by voters, approval voting always elects a beats-all "Condorcet winner" when one exists. This is mild (some would say GOOD) reaction to strategy.

> Checking approve on someone I believe to be more popular than my favorite candidate lowers the chance my favorite candidate wins.

Yes, this is beneficial not harmful. The alternative is that the voting method must ignore all preference data about the relative support of X vs. Y as long as the voter prefers X to Y. That causes big problems.

https://medium.com/@ClayShentrup/later-no-harm-72c44e145510

It is precisely why ranked voting methods like Instant Runoff Voting are so vulnerable to tactics. If I prefer the Green, my general best strategy is to tactically rank the Democrat in 1st place, thus "burying" the Green and making the mere appearance of un-electability a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The major moral of voting theory is to AVOID RANKED VOTING METHODS, favoring RATED voting methods like score voting, STAR voting, and approval voting. Here's a presentation I gave in 2015 to the Colorado League of Women Voters explaining more.

I would also recommend the 2008 book "Gaming the Vote". Full disclosure: I'm in it.
I can't find reasons why would this be immoral. I'd say it's rather aggressive and won't earn you good reputation for sure. But it's sort of fair game. Compared to many business practices (lobbying, forced arbitration, patent trolling, DMCA, price dumping etc.) this is extremely mild one.

New Virtual CMO Marketing Advisory for Small Businesses
How can they profit from the unproduced value of the land when they had to buy it? It seems to me that you're assuming landlords owned the land since before high property values in SF or wherever were a thing. It seems unlikely this situation accounts for much of the real estate.
Atkins diet: "Start at 25g of carb, and increase it slightly over a period of time"

Local variation: "Never eat more than 25g carb"

"Drink lots of water. Eat a tablespoon of butter with every meal."

"Passing out is normal. Your body is detoxing itself."

"Soy sauce contains sugar. Substitute all your sugar with these substances."

"Yes, keto is expensive, but you can save costs by eating eggs and drinking lots of water. I eat 10 eggs a day and I'm just fine."

"If you want to further accelerate fat loss, here are some pills you can get. They're not approved by the health ministry, but the health ministry is bought out by Nestle and trying to get you to eat sugar and carbs."

Anyone who goes outside this norm gets bullied and banned from the community. It's really tempting to just blindly agree and let people kill themselves if your salary is coming from such a community.

There's a saying that users don't buy drills, they buy holes. The 'hole' here is that a keto dieter wants to lose 20kg in 2 weeks. Many are willing to die to achieve it; there's lots of stories of people who are crash dieting for a wedding or whose husbands have left them.

Keto diets are misleading too. A lot of the weight loss comes from water, not fat. The rapid fat loss gives the diet credibility, especially when someone has tried other things and only lost about 2kg with exercise and reduced calories. Once you've established that credibility, you can tell them anything. It's nice to have a business where people will blindly agree to buy whatever you sell them, but I don't want to deal with that kind of responsibility.

Blazor and 2D game development – part 1: intro
India is the worst in the world (since 2014 right wing govt came to power) for internet shut downs. the current government is a ultra right wing majority and they shut down the internet in areas which protest.

then their minions try to drown the voices of dissent online and offline by abusing dissenters or plain beating them up.

then the ultra right wing government arrests those who are beaten up under sedition, act of war against the state, keeps them in jail for 90+ days without filing an FIR and when they are released after 90days according the the law, they're arrested again on trumped up charges!

"Resistance to tactical voting" is a dumb, essentially nonsensical, concept. What we care about is how well the voting method performs given there is some amount of strategic voting. I made a simple chart here to visualize this fallacy.

Oh it is now anti Modi. I remember back in 2014 when every other comment and post was 'wow Modi will transform this country, Mumbai and Delhi will become New York'

I used to get banned just for asking 'how will he get the money to do so?' or for asking proof on past experiences as the PM's CM term of the state of Gujarat wasn't exactly as promising but /r/india had lost their mind worshipping Modi and hating Congress.

They now hate both Congress and BJP :D

Isn’t CreditKarma trying a free alternative to TurboTax et al?
No, because when police have a search warrant and storm your home, they can't seize the private conversation you had in bed with your partner a year earlier. They can't suck the memories out of your head. Technology like mobile phones and messaging have become an extension of us, they are used for private conversations and personal memories. Breaking encryption on these is not like search warrants of yesteryear, and not like wire taps. In traditional search warrant they would not be seizing communications. And in wire taps they would only get conversations going forward, not years in the past that they can search through, and even with conversations going forward they sometimes wouldn't be allowed to listen to personal conversations.

The Bill of Rights (first ten amendments to the constitution) is all about protecting us against abuses of government officials. It presumes people in government could be bad, and we need protecting from them. By allowing a government official to seize all our private conversations it could allow a bad government official to go fishing and find things things that they can use against their enemies. There are many, many laws. Many of them aren't enforced, but could be.

For example in some states adultery is illegal, even a felony in some states. Not just in small states, but in New York, Massachusetts, and Michigan. In Massachusetts there hasn't been an adultery conviction since 1983. But if law enforcement was allowed to decrypt an iPhone, and find private bedroom things, it could be used as an attack on a political enemy.

It isn't only "bad people" that should be worried about the government. I think pretty much everyone agrees Martin Luther King Jr. was a good person. But the government at the time didn't think so. When he was killed the first people on the scene were the police officers who were doing surveillance of him from across the street. That is the kind of government we need to be protected from.
This is not how things were. Maybe a few micro-actions were like that. Like turn on a C64. But then it was doing nothing sitting there.
Let me tell you my experience that's etched in my memory.
While learning image processing, we were suppose to implement a low pass filter in a 512x512 color image. That's a 1MB image.
It took 20 minutes to make a modification of a single character. 20 minutes to compile the (C) program. And 20 minutes to run the program.
The VAX we had in 1988 had 4 MB of RAM. We were 3 teams going through the cycle. So the machine was constantly swapping.
Today it will take me less then a few seconds to change one character in my program, compile it and then run it.
To the best of my knowledge, GraalVM native images are probably slower at runtime, due to the hotspot vm being unavailable.
First, I'm not "trying to score points with hyperbole on HN by likening centrists to Nazis and Communists", nor "playing semantic games". The meanings of terms we use are important, as they carry latent bias.

> That's not what "conservative" means in modern political discourse, at all. And I'm sure you know this

I honestly don't know what "conservative" is supposed to mean in the modern political discourse, besides simply referring to people who support the red team. Therefore, I think it's instructive to fall back to its general abstract meaning. For example, current Trump supporters are in no way actually conservative. Hence seeing ideological conservatives distancing themselves from that populist-reactionary ship of destruction.

> ["centrist" is] probably what you use too when you're talking to people in the real world

I've never heard the word "centrist" in the real world. As I said, it seems like a mainstream media term shifting the Overton window towards authoritarianism (away from libertarianism), following the idea that increased centralized control can be used to solve societal problems. I apologize for using this word that you are reacting strongly to, but I've yet to hear a different straightforward technical term that refers to ever-growing government involvement.

Custom solutions for disabled adults and children. Conditions like cerebral palsy, ALS, quadriplegia, etc force otherwise healthy people into isolation. Steven Hawking famously had a custom program that gave him his voice back when he lost it, but how many other people with similar conditions don't have access to that kind of technology. Every person's condition and relevant challenges is different so most solutions probably wouldn't scale.

It depends on the fuel capacity. The article says

>That mobile [7.2kW] welding shop can run for 32 hours continuously on a full tank, making all-day, heavy-duty work possible.

F-150 has a few capacity options. Per a 2019 tech sheet[0], 23gal standard, 26gal on SuperCab or SuperCrew, and 36gal for extended range.

7.2kW for 32 hours is 230.4 kWh. Therefore it's either 10.0, 8.9, or 6.4 kWh/gal.

I would expect the efficiency to be a lot better than a two- or four-stroke portable generator, since the engine design is overall vastly superior.

The caveat is the 7.2kW system is only on the hybrid model, which presumably drains the hybrid battery before switching to generator power, which would imply there's a 7.2kW generator under the hood, which isn't even an option for the non-hybrid model...needless to say I think these are marketing wank numbers and probably have a big but associated with them.

Low interest rate is driving house deals these days.
Comparing land to capital misses some important differences, that economists have recognized.

Land is a scarce resource with a fixed supply. If I want to rent land in SF, I don't too many options. And the demand is increasing, since everyone needs land to exist, and the population (at least in cities) is increasing. This gives the landlords a monopoly (see the law of rent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_rent). In the case of loans, if I don't like your rate, I can simply go to a different lender.

Secondly, can you point out what we lose if the landlords doesn't exist?

If lending doesn't exist, there's businesses that would have started, but can not anymore, since they may not have enough capital to get off the ground.

If landlords don't exists, the land is still there, and we lost nothing, since land can't be created or destroyed.

> Let me introduce you to some landlords who went bankrupt in 2008.

My point is not that being a landlord has no risk. Rather, I'm saying that the returns from land do not come at all from the value that the landlord provides, which is not the case for lending, or other productive activities.
It's unironically called the fallacy fallacy.
> Automation in almost every case costs substantially more, but frequently results in a lower cost per unit.

Which is why you amortize the up-front cost over the expected number of units adjusted for time value of money. In which case the automation often still results in lower overall costs.

> Comparing variable numbers is algebra but this is a calculus problem.

Calculus still leads to comparing numbers. Businesses know how to do calculus.
As cool as these Vic-20 and C64 clones are, I think it would be even awesomer to have a small MCU with HDMI booting into a micropython IDE. Of course, this mostly loses some luster when the hardware isn't as completely open/documented as the C64 (or later, Amiga and Atari ST). I guess an ESP32's openRtos is pretty open but also mighty complex, and there weren't dirt cheap completely open audio/video systems available last time I checked.

The RPI is great as well, but it's just much "bigger" and harder to fully understand (like you could understand a C64) for a young 'un.

Were your ancestors among the brilliant minds who drafted the ideology of this state to become a secular republic and not fall in the dictatorship trap like all ex British colonies except India have fallen into?

Who exactly do you think you are to distribute certificates of nationalism?
I'm a co-inventor of STAR voting. I explain it as, STAR voting is score voting on a 0-5 scale followed by an automatic ("instant") top two runoff. Whereas approval voting is score voting on a 0-1 binary scale. STAR voting performs a tiny bit better in computer simulations of voter satisfaction, but approval voting has the practical benefit of being super simple and requiring no voting machine upgrades. Both are superior to IRV.

Here's the first email I received from Mark Frohnmayer where he discussed STAR voting, following my speaking at his conference at University of Oregon, that gave birth to it. :)

>Land doesn't rise in value because the landowner put in effort to raise the land value

Let's have some perspective - that's why there are property taxes. Now, maybe the property taxes are too low, but the fundamental issue is recognized by society and the mechanism exists to balance things.
this is what we've seen as well. it validates that whatever price, promo, shipping and taxes you've put into your feed is what ends up in the final checkout and there's no bait-and-switch going on between the feed and reality.

it's rather annoying because it creates dozens of "abandoned" carts per day which we have to continually clear out (based on Google's known ip address ranges) so our reps can go through actual abandoned carts.
Hard to collect more taxes if you're dead.
Your site is rad.

Here's my idea:

P2P grid compute + storage that is actually cheap and can drive down the cost of computation significantly.

Can be achieved with unikernels, homomorphic encryption, ipfs. There's a lot of compute and storage available all over the world, idle, waiting to be used. A system like this can utilize it
