Stupid Economists, already making your points for you:

> An example of rent-seeking in a modern economy is spending money on lobbying for government subsidies in order to be given wealth that has already been created, or to impose regulations on competitors, in order to increase market share.

> The concept of rent-seeking would also apply to corruption of bureaucrats who solicit and extract "bribe" or "rent" for applying their legal but discretionary authority for awarding legitimate or illegitimate benefits to clients.

What is it about a feudal lord or moneylender that the way they spend money is better than the way the merchants would have spent it? Further, just because the money has downstream effects doesn't mean that it was rightfully earned. All of your arguments could equally apply to pirates or bankrobbers.

> either G.B. Shaw or Ambrose Bierce, depending on your reference point.

I googled it, it's from Shaw's Doctor's Dilemma. (I'm a big fan of both those guys.) Only 3 hits on the internet saying it was Bierce - all 3 are your comments on HN! hehe.
I too am skeptical of the psychoactivity of plain safrole. It lacks an ethylamine, nay, any nitrogen, which is what makes virtually all analogs of dopamine and serotonin structurally active. You kinda need that N-C-C-Ar (aromatic: phenyl, indolyl, etc) moeity to work.

It's probably a misunderstanding by way of synedoche of sass(afrass oil) or safrole being used as the precursur.

Most likely "sass" or "safrole" is MDA.
> Electric cars with large batteries are a much better solution to hydrogen cars IMHO.

Electric cars are still very dangerous when they catch fire though. And the fires are very difficult to control. Especially in multistorey (or underground) car parks. And even more so if there are multiple EVs parked next to eachother.
Why Can't I Reproduce Their Results?
What if the problem statement (what is something like this trying to solve) is:

1. No tracking beyond what the server gets via standard logging
2. Document styling control in the hands of the user agent
3. Navigation control in the hands of the user agent
4. Compatibility with existing web browsers would be a bonus

Points 2 and 3 imply some kind of semantically-clear markup. Would definitely want to think of forward/backward compatibility (something the web has been fairly good at).

Point 1 means no cookies, likely nothing like JS, images need to come from the same server (either packaged in the initial request or forced to come from the same host).

Point 4 is a nice to have and may be possible if this is built on a subset of HTML and HTTP. One possibility is that if the server receives a request that looks like it's coming from a standard browser, it can serve up the page with some JS and CSS that fill in the stuff that would normally be done by the user agent.

IMHO, something built on a stack that looks like that would be a better fit for 2020 than something based off of Gopher's approach.
I agree about the default terminal emulation, although Microsoft's new Terminal application has improved much of it.

But I find PuTTY's terminals to be almost worse. The visuals are seriously eye cancer inducing, and PuTTY's tools don't seem to be built with a terminal-based workflow in mind.

So, I much rather use either MS' OpenSSH port (on Win10) or MSYS 2's (which is included in the Git Bash for Windows, too).
I don't know what it looks like for a certificated system, but syslog records the private key used for login in a fairly vanilla Debian. If you worry about things like that and aren't looking at physical access (as suggested elsewhere), you presumably have remote syslog and audit which you can check.
Do we really need to convert long distance trucks to fully electric? Why not just work on hybrid trucks to increase efficiency and allow them to operate with zero emissions while in urban areas.
If you can afford it, it's very good in the US.
How do you record the key used from that (assuming that's what's required)?
The things you mentioned are almost all inversely related to better healthcare outcomes, to grossly oversimplify a contributing factor.

* Bigger homes means you feel more comfortable being lazy and spending all your time indoors

* Bigger cars means you are incentivized to drive 20 miles to a restaurant in comfort instead of walking over to a closer one

* Bigger TVs means you spend all day "watching the game" instead of going out and playing a sport.

Once again, these are grossly oversimplified, but should drive home the central point that spending on some things can actually worsen outcomes of others.
A big element here is that the free market is being choked out. Consumers walk into healthcare facilities without any idea what they will be paying when they walk out, and therefore have no ability to choose one facility over another based on price.

Because that ability doesn't exist, there is no downwards price pressure anywhere at the consumer level for medical services.

I think we'd see a lot more results if we asked 'why aren't these facilities putting more efforts into reducing costs' rather than asking 'what makes this so expensive?'
The most expensive conditions in terms of direct health care costs are diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and osteoarthritis.
The most common chronic health conditions in the U.S. are hypertension (high blood pressure), dyslipidemia, and osteoarthritis.
Obesity is by far the greatest risk factor contributing to the burden of chronic diseases in the U.S. [1]

Most people in my village are making around E500/month and they are pretty happy ; is that possible anywhere in the US? I think that would explain something; it's basically that people can afford to live happily because the things that really matter are from the gov. Public transport, healthcare and food if you really cannot pay for it (500 is enough actually to get to restaurants here a few time per month and a drink at the bar daily). But if something goes wrong (fridge breaks etc), you don't end up under a bridge.
> but if nobody believed that witches exist then this wouldn't work.

I don't think that's right, you have to consider the possibility of widespread preference falsification. Namely people who do not believe in witches but do believe all their neighbors believe in witches.
The relativistic effects create this standing wave, i.e. the particle distorts the spacetime as it's moving and the relativistic "glitch" mixed with the modulated ds2 creates the standing wave. IIRC, the idea was to apply the Lorentz moving frame transformation to the ds2 x exp() interval to derive some bits of QM. To derive the non time-dependent SE, some bits of GR were needed and to derive the time-dependent SE, more GR was needed.
the supposed need for social interaction is a socialist construct preying on insecurities.

Bingo. I went without TV/movies for years because I didn't want to consume them they way they were made available. Thankfully, streaming became a thing and I happily pay for various subscriptions. I have canceled my HBO subscription, though, a while back; I can't honestly remember what pushed me to do that, could be the Max thing. Ironically, I get Max "for free" via my ATT Fiber subscription, but I haven't bothered to look at it because I can't stream it via Roku.

If you're seeing Gemini as a "distribution channel", it's... probably not really for you? What's there, right now, is a community of people, sharing ideas and talking to each other. Pretty much all the content there was made to be shared with that community. And I very much have the impression they'd like to keep it that way as long as possible.
If you use Zettlr, or any other editor to create a linked graph of text files, you might be interesting in vizel[0]:

It visualizes the graph and calculates some stats. I find it useful to track the growth of my Zettelkasten, but also to find notes and components that are unconnected to the rest of the graph.

I built it to scratch my own itch, but I'm always happy to get feedback.

It's also accurate if you say that hash value H has

-log_2 (H / 2^256) = 256 - log_2 H leading 0s

and allow for fractional number of leading 0s.

The nBits header field closely resembles a 32-bit floating point representation of this number (I say resembles because it's really a floating point representation of the threshold H value).

I'm checking out Cuelang! :) Thanks for mentioning about this. In fact, I have noticed that there are lots of tools around configuration management now a days, though I have not tried any of them really. For example - https://github.com/open-policy-agent/conftest . Let me give Cuelang and others a try and also, I wouldn't try to reinvent the wheel. My aim was just to provide values.json.schema if people want to use helm's feature. Looks like there are external standalone tools that can help with config validation for any DSLs. Nice
As someone who worked at Uber from 2014-2018, I'd like to weigh in with some observations based on my experience.

1). While Uber has been very Bay Area-heavy, it has had a distributed engineering team for many of its core operations for a very long time. For example, many of its core infrastructure was built in Europe. Cross-timezone collaboration hasn't been the smoothest, but of all the large "FANGish" tech companies, Uber actually has the most experience with non-HQ teams building business-critical systems. Even companies seen as very progressive in terms of eng culture, like Stripe, seem to keep the core business close to HQ (this is my subjective observation, and I'd love to proven wrong here, because I think Stripe, as a whole, is awesome).

2). India is a country with many people and many engineers. If there's one strong believe I can state in this post, it's that there are many incredibly talented engineers who are living in India and are choosing to stay there. Uber has experience in building engineering teams outside of HQ. It's not a sure thing, but I think they can do it.

Happy to answer any other questions or comments.

(I guess as a disclaimer, I have zero financial stake in Uber, but I have some friends who still work at Uber, so that may or may not influence my opinion)
Electricity has a transmission problem though - there are some parts of the world with lots of clean energy, which we can't fully take advantage of because we can't transport electricity that far. Hydrogen allows us to use that clean energy to power cars in other parts of the world, since you can produce hydrogen in those places and then ship it to places without much clean energy. Also you can presumably stop and start hydrogen production as electricity demand changes (ex. Only produce it on sunny windy days where there is excess electricity) allowing you to shift the demand curve more easily than with electric cars.

Speaking in the very narrow view of tech, if you work in tech in the US you are likely to make anywhere from 2 to 5 times as much as in Europe, including taxes and healthcare costs.

There simply is no comparison. Switzerland comes second, with the UK or Canada next.

Europeans always mention free healthcare. But when your salary in the US is triple before taxes then the healthcare costs are irrelevant.

The absolute truth is that by choosing to work in Europe rather than the US, you're losing potentially millions of dollars by time you reach retirement (with compounding interest investments) -- as an average individual contributor. If you're a high performer, you might lose far more than that.

Entry level grads in the US can in some cases be paid more than senior developers in the EU.
More than 40 million Americans are on food stamps (govt food support). In reality, many food basics like milk, rice and beans are healthy and affordable.
The lack of inline links is less about aesthetics and more about predictability. When you request a gemini resource you know that there will be two things happening: a TLS handshake followed by, hopefully, the server response (hopefully with your requested document).

Adding images requires more requests and breaks the concept of "one url/document == one request". I love that I know that my client will do nothing I do not tell it to do.

If you want to use gemini and you want inline images I believe https://proxy.vulpes.one does inline images of some form or other.

That said, images have other issues beyond causing page loads/requests to be unpredictable: they are an accessibility nightmare (as we have seen on the web).
I don't like wealth comparisons because they do a poor job of accounting for usable vs. locked up wealth. What I mean is that you could easily live in California and have $200k in counted wealth, but virtually all of it is in your home's equity and more or less inaccessible to you while someone living in a cheaper country with $200k in wealth likely has a lot more of it in liquid form.

Disposable Income is a better indicator of "money you get and can actually use" than total median income or wealth. The US is easily #1 in this category by PPP mean [1], and only drops to #3 by median.

So, I consider myself very fortunate because we have three little kids and it’s been a built-in social dynamic (if exhausting at times).

That said, the garden has been one of the most calming, literally grounding things since this began. We’ve all gotten a lot out of it. Something about taking care of a living thing. The scale could range from a tiny bonsai tree in a container, to a row of vegetables if you have space for it.

Edit: I realize this doesn’t answer the question directly, but it’s been soothing so figured I’d share it anyway.
Do we have good data on what happens if you change the IP laws around drugs to reduce the moat that the developers get?

A common claim by big-pharma defenders is that if you take away the gouging aspect, drug development will stop. Is there some way we can test this experimentally on a subset of the drug market?
Surely you'd have some sort of remote KVM in such cases (like IPMI, as mentioned in another comment). That's critical in the clusters I've run and, of course, the manufacturers' implementation of that critical functionality in IPMI is likely to be rubbish and you can't get it fixed...
One of the HN guidelines is to assume good faith when you respond to a comment.
I found the Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_based_nanogalvanic_...

Saying this ignores basic physics is like saying gasoline engines ignore basic physics. No one is saying that it's free energy. The question is, what is the energy to produce/recycle the alloy? How many miles can you get out of a reasonable supply of the alloy before replacing it? If those numbers are good enough, maybe they'll perform better than battery vehicles. And so I'm asking what's the state of that research.
Even if it were _not_ a physical limit, we still wouldn't get anywhere near it with a real (even fantasy) rocket.

I know it is probably not healthy but I am very much enjoying this social isolation. I suppose that makes me an introvert, but, I love spending time with my young son each day. Someone said 'hell is other people'. Although I don't think that is strictly true, boy, this has been a nice break. I feel fantastic.
That is the situation I see with pretty much all businesses. 2 to 3, maybe 5 large organizations who can outcompete everyone due to economies of scale, especially due to advancements in technology.
SE is just a diff equation that approximates physics well. It's non relativistic in the same sense as the textbook wave equation is non relativistic. The "true SE" is likely way more complex, includes some bizarre math, but is compatible with GR and all relativistic effects.
Causality and Its Harms
> However, I quickly started to miss the small everyday interactions with my co-workers.

I work for a small company, and the coworkers in my office were all pretty anti-social to begin with. So I went from not talking to them in the office to not talking to them remotely.

I do have a couple people I enjoy interacting with from work, but they live on the other side of the country, so it's always been me talking to them over the phone. That's kept up pretty much the same.

As to the rest of the isolation, we had to adjust a fair bit for that, but it's ended up we've just gotten to be better friends with our neighbors. I read somewhere that it's cruel to keep kids from seeing any other kids, which is sort of how I felt to begin with, so it gave us a convenient excuse.

Basically we went from always visiting with people 15 miles away from home, to always visiting people 100 feet from home. It hasn't been too bad honestly.

Plus we've started skyping with family members on the weekends, which has been nice.

The base rate of the profession is around 250k per year. Specialities are not included in that calculation.

Almost all of the software worth preserving is preserved. It may not be openly available (though odds are it will eventually be dumped openly on the net) but you can find pretty much anything you want if you put in some effort. It comes down to you getting access to one of many private repositories that are dedicated to software preservation.
I know it was gutted at launch but I decided to try it anyways with open eyes since there was a 2-month free trial with some free games. I have fiber at home so latency and bandwidth is not at all an issue - on Chrome on Windows laptop the gaming experience was flawless and technically very impressive.

The value proposition of the service is in fact excellent for me. I game only sporadically, so investing in a highend gaming PC makes no sense - the hardware outdates too fast, and I anyway prefer to run Linux on my PC. I bought a PS4 but I prefer to play FPS games on a keyboard and mouse, and frankly most times I actually want to play the PS4 after months offline, I need to start with ~30 min worth of system updates before any game is even allowed to start (thanks DRM..)

With Stadia I pay one time fee for each game I want to play. Google offers for that fixed price always the latest, highest-end hardware and OS to play on. Contrast this to having to keep updating my PC hardware and maintaining a Windows installation just for gaming. If only it was working on Linux as well as Windows I would have certainly continued using it.
