What do economists have to say say about the living conditions, healthcare, lifespan, and overall societal contributions of people paid less than minimum wage? From what you said it seems they're fine with lawless favelas as long as the strawberries get to the markets the economists shop at.

Your position that people are hurt by not having access to what is essentially slavery, because that is precisely what you're advocating for here, hurts people is absurd. Minimum wage laws put a floor on just how much you can abuse your staff. The fact that you don't understand this shows that you take your considerable privilege for granted without even appreciating it.
Similarly would appreciate links. The only bad stuff I’ve personally seen is really stupid arguments for Capitalism from Graham and Calacanis.

Why Calacanis still has that embarrassing “reasons people are not rich” tweet pinned is beyond me.

This is a big topic, so you really can't expect someone to do your homework for you if you actually want to understand.

Long story short Facebook had already shown themselves to be duplicitous and untrustworthy on the user privacy front for more than a decade, then various other dark sides of social media made themselves most evident on Facebook, and Zuckerberg has done a poor job at responding to those challenges.

Show HN: Web tool to find trading strategies for free
This is a free tool i created on my own in the evenings.

It basically tries couple strategies to determine best price levels (prices for limit orders etc). The strategies include a basic distance from the last close price (like: enter the market if the price is prev_close_price + 1%) but also bit more complex strategies (distances from high/low, highest high and lowest low )

To start you just need a csv file from MT4 (so the data of some market)

If you dont have such a file by hand, try mine: https://filebin.net/90fyxmmrtr6iqa6a

Once you see something you like you do need still write the code or "trade" it manually

I just watched a video about this, that basically goes over all your points:
"Air Cargo's Coronavirus Problem" by Wendover Productions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2oPk20OHBE

A summary of the video:

- Passenger flight belly cargo used to be responsible for 25% of air cargo capacity, so capacity is severely reduced.

- PPE emergency logistics has caused a huge spike in demand, since PPE allocations are currently too volatile for anything except for air cargo. Air cargo prices are high.

- Government funding for airlines require pilots to remain on salary, so there's no additional marginal cost of labor.

- The biggest marginal cost of a flight, the cost of fuel, has understandably also become very cheap.

The end result is that even though it's still quite inefficient as compared to dedicated freight planes, the perfect storm of circumstances makes passenger-planes-as-cargo-planes momentarily profitable.
Well exactly, it is a borrowed money and everyone will have to pay it back in some way, for example through taxation or more likely via inflation (things will get more expensive, so people will be able to afford less). The weakest, poorest will experience the problem the most, but it will affect everyone. As I mentioned, maybe there will be some great advancement in productivity and it will not be as severe. But it is a gamble and not a wise strategy for the nation.

The debt can be written off. But it will have consequences. It means no more living on debt, because no lender will be willing to lend anymore. It will be very bad for the economy, at least in the short term (who knows how many years). However, it may lead to a more sound economy in the long term, assuming the capitalism survives.
And that’s a good thing.

Eliezer Yudkowsky explained it nicely[0]:

This just in! The Fed will allow schools and hospitals to use its $1.5T repo line, letting any school with $1B in Treasuries temporarily exchange them for $1B cash for 3 months. "We have no idea why you wanted this," said a confused Fed. "Are you sure you know what we do?"

Probably some software VP got a directive from higher up to see to it that their browser/software penetration stats are increasing, and opportunities for tie-ins with other products too, so this is what you get.

The fact that none of the usual group of experts haven't been all over this despite all the "evidence" being right there in the open, and neither of the links I found are authoritative in their authorship and presentation, I'll leave any judgement of veracity up to you.
Google does exactly that in other ways. Hats off to Micros~1 for fighting fire with fire.

@jason on Twitter said so explicitly in the last 24 hours, pg said so on Twitter some time ago.

The rest of your comment just illustrates my initial point: abstract statements, ad-hominems and proof-by-assertions.

That isn't to say that the media doesn't have biases or get stories wrong. The problem is that the elites try to use those facts to discredit all accurate reporting that is harmful to their interests. The honest and convincing way to discredit an inaccurate story is to point out concretely how it is wrong, doing anything else suggests that the story is accurate.

Its an Covid Dashboard for India. Recently I added district wise 3-weeks trends for all districts in India. This feature was a result of personal necessity of checking daily cases in my district.

I plan on adding more features like 5-day moving averages and trends on testing stats.

Would be happy to hear some feedback from HN community.
Yes, YouTube's opaque system where you cannot easily tell what is the algorithm, what is systemic moderation, and what is personal channel moderation is a good example of why it's so important to have strong regulation.

It will definitely not work to expect everyone to show exemplary good faith behavior in public interest like Twitter. Even though they don't appear to be doing enough to handle astroturfing.
There was a period during which Medium was a signal of quality, probably because it was a niche platform only known in the tech circle and I believe it was invite-only for a while as well.

Now that every marketer, "growth hacker", "entrepreneur" and their dog are on there it's the opposite. Medium is now a signal that some idiot is trying to build credibility in an unrelated field by rehashing basic facts/existing content and peppering it with stock images and "sign up for my newsletter" forms.

How did you go about porting the database code to something more sane? (just assuming you did)

I imagine if this database system is contained well enough, it shouldn't be so difficult to swap its internals with something else. Especially if it's all just JSON-like.
> I'm pro basic income, but definitely don't support paying more to be unproductive than productive.

I never understand this perspective. Supporting UBI is a statement that all people deserve a bare-minimum existence, even if they don't or can't work. I would expect that UBI would create a less productive workforce in the same way that 40 hour work weeks and environmental protections make a less productive workforce.

If you think the only path to righteousness is through a lifetime of toil, then it /might/ make sense to judge poor people's merit as a function of their 'productivity' (i.e., ability to make someone else money), but that is a pretty old-school stance in my opinion.

If they don’t agree, perhaps they can agree to disagree and we can encode that fact instead.
That Microsoft is going this way now is pretty interesting, because the parallels to Internet Explorer seem pretty obvious - IIRC they really considered putting a FUD messsge in front of the Netscape website (uncertain about this, please correct if applicable). It looks like they have gotten too comfortable again.

They have probably calculated the backlash and decided it was worth it because most people actually just don't care.

It's going to get so much worse without proper regulation, the trend has been clear for years.
> A _large_ proportion of worldwide freight is ordinarily carried in the belly of passenger aircraft.

This is absolute nonsense. I don't know how you can claim this with a straight face. Almost all freight goes by sea, rail, and road, not by passenger aircraft.
Typically we find that without further adjustments, there tends to be a substantial domain gap between the synthetic data and the real world data.

We're building something that helps us narrow or completely eliminate the gap between synthetic data and real data at Creation Labs and will have some exciting things to show in the next few weeks on our website (creationlabs.ai)
Those are good all good ideas. This was not what she built though. She had a chat bot that was supposed to talk to depressed people. The idea really did not appeal to me at all.
Yes, the real reason was in fact terrible. Doing something because you feel pressured to win a race against another country is a really bad reason to do that thing.
Paulchap literally said "as long as it's within the legal bounds of the ToS".

Discrimination against race or another protected class falls outside of the "legal bounds of the ToS".

Sorry, the startup was named Chemdex (later Ventro). One article summarizing its downfall: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-jun-24-fi-14133.... There were others like ChemConnect, but Chemdex was the most high-profile.

If the article is correct, high costs for building and maintaining the "Amazon for chemicals" were the primary cause of failure.

Many great ideas are a matter of when, not if. Knowing when to launch is as critical for entrepreneurs as is knowing when to buy for investors.

A modern Chemdex might thrive like the modern Webvan (ie Instacart) because if costs were the cause of death, a cloud infrastructure would address this issue.

Obviously, this is a very different model from the ARM model.

Hopefully one of these comparisons can offer helpful insights.

I told Amazon's AI to go kill itself, not their employee, which part of that do you not comprehend? There's quite a distinction there and you're being quite disingenuous.

Comedians are no different from regular people, they use the same words as the rest of us. It makes no difference whether you're paid or not to say things. If a comedian tells racist jokes they're still a racist and a bigot regardless of their job.

So a case of "I am not in acquainted with this field, so I'll believe it, but boy did that other journalist completely mischaracterize MY field"?

Based on what I hear, many biblical scholars (like many in other fields) are looking to be "edgy" by denying this or that claim and then build entire stories out of thin air based on the consequences of that denial. Meaning, a lot of the biblical scholarship that tries to be "original" ends up suppressing the best explanations in some way simply to get proverbial clicks. Like Reza Aslan.
I have sometimes read manifestos of perpetrators of similar incidents because I was trying to understand what possesses a person to do such a thing. The most common conclusion I have made from that is they were mentally ill. They have varying levels of rationalization. Sometimes they have touching stories of their childhood or their grievances, even though they are actually insane and the grievances don't make sense.
> it has a relatively recent negative connotation in Europe & US

Seventeen million people died in the Holocaust. That number is larger than the dollar amount that many of the companies on this website raise. That's more people than you'll meet in your entire lifetime, perhaps more than you'll _see_ in your lifetime. This is the population of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston put together. Those people were physically destroyed by folks identifying with that symbol.

It's really, really hard to say this symbol doesn't carry hate universally—even if a Buddhist practitioner were to use it—because putting it on your video game car on _a global game_ whose audience is ~100% folks who are well-aware of nazism (and, in fact, people whose histories are tainted by the effects of the Holocaust). But more to the point, the confederate flag _was invented_ to represent hate. It had no established use before the confederacy. Pedantry about whether swastikas are universally racist or not is pointless, because the topic at hand is about a symbol which is universally recognized as one of hate.

The UNIX philosophy would call for a service that does one thing well. CloudFront is a CDN among other things and, in this case, a TLS termination proxy. I should be able to stack something onto S3 that just does the latter, because I may not need the costs or the hassle (to invalidate caches) of a CDN. But hey, it's a free county with lots of competition and Netlify and I think Azure lets you do this.
I'm sitting over here in my rocking chair thinking, "You damned kids don't know how good you've got it."

There's a Simpson's episode where Homer has a business that Bill Gates wants to buy, and he refuses. So Bill tells his bodyguards to 'buy him out' and walks away. They proceed to smash all of his equipment to bits. You don't get done by Matt Groening like that by simply bundling software.

As the other user said, I don't believe we could get the political muster necessary to pass a law taxing meat heavily any time soon. Meat is popular! Nobody wants to give that up.

Also, you're absolutely correct that dairy milk is less efficient by a long-shot, I was just pointing to it because I know a lot of people I personally know are moving to it and away from dairy as though it's a quality alternative. It's better, but still not great.

Hmm, you're right that non-reputability likely means something different than non-repudiation. The problem is I can't find anyone actually using non-reputability in that other meaning.

What I do find is various places using non-reputability erroneously as a synonym for non-repudiation.[1][2][3] So in fact I now think that EncroChat actually made 2 errors: said non-reputability instead of non-repudiation, and also misunderstood non-repudiation as meaning repudiation.

Custard Apples, which are native to Central America, were thought to have been introduced to India in the 1500's through Portuguese contact. A few years ago, they found a custard apple seed carbon dated to 1800 BC at an archaeological site in Northern India [1]. Researchers still have no idea how it got there.

You are right. It is becoming too difficult for me to control myself when I read something written by someone being ignorant. Maybe, I should do a better job letting it go vs. attacking. I have been working on it - but I do hope that you are noticing that the frequency of my tirades are going down.
I think police should have better procedures in place to try to prevent shooting dogs. It definitely happens more than it should.

That said, bites are incredibly dangerous and not something to downplay. This is pure ignorance. No infectious disease doctor is likely to agree that dog bites are always a "minor wound." People are hospitalized, lose limbs, and die from infections caused by bites. Puncture wounds should always be treated by a doctor.

Even a small dog can inflict a dangerous wound. Kicking a dog is a good way to get a bitten on the foot. Restraining a dog without injury is extremely difficult.

Police should employ pepper spray against dogs, or maybe there's a better technology available that they should start using.

But, when there is a legitimate case where a police officer reasonably fears that a dog is about to bite them, they should be be free to shoot. This is basic self-defense against great bodily injury. Every American has this right, not just police.

It's on owners to do their best to prevent police from interacting with their unrestrained dogs. That doesn't mean it's always the owners fault if a police officer is forced to shoot a dog. Sometimes it's just a bad situation and no one is really at fault.
Maybe it should be combined with something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_Pj2GI6-xc

It's a perennial source of amazement that so many Americans don't realise that literal political symbols are actually, you know, political. Flags, anthems, pledges, coats of arms, etc - these are (benign) nationalist symbols and displaying/rendering them is inherently a political choice.

Here's a fun quote from the article about the design of the second flag

>On April 23, 1863, the Savannah Morning News editor William Tappan Thompson, with assistance from William Ross Postell, a Confederate blockade runner, published an editorial championing a design featuring the battle flag on a white background he referred to later as "The White Man's Flag."[6] In explaining the white background, Thompson wrote, "As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause."

I agree, most news sites are awful about it. I don't hold The Guardian to a higher standard, because their reporting is often — but perhaps less so than most — just as questionable.
