No, I don't write like that. I'm fully aware of lack of choice and societal pressure. It is not strictly relevant to the "compensation" question. The imposition of the social order doesn't mean there isn't still just a set pool of tasks that have to get done, and each person does some of them. My partner can't cook and go food shopping to plan out meals. Not in their skill set. I have little choice in bearing that responsibility for my household. That still doesn't make me "uncompensated" for the task. The situations you speak of are just a matter of degree in that way, not a difference in kind.

You appear to be conflating value with compensation. Unfortunately society often seems to value the work done by the at-homeartner less. That is a different issue than compensation. The issue of compensation is personal to the relationship. To say one person is uncompensated completely ignores the fact that it is a partnership with a pool of resources and a pool of responsibilities. Sometimes there's more or less choice in involved in how those responsibilities are distributed, but dividing things into one person does this and gets this etc., acts as if there were two separate systems. There aren't. It's a relationship, a single system.

> Ban talking about politics and religion at work. Illegal in Norway as freedom of speech is a protected by government.

I'm all for freedom of speech, but there are certain policies that make me uncomfortable. Like talking about sex should be freedom of speech, but is taboo in the workplace.

It's all about protecting everyone's rights to feel comfortable (by banning topics that enrage people.).

> Criminal background checks.

This is common practice as people don't want to hire workers who will steal or cause other issues.

What's wrong with that?

Sure, that's pro worker, but not pro business. If someone isn't doing their job, they gotta go. Not 2-3 months. Now.

Most UK doctors will be doing further training after the foundation programme, pretty similarly to the US residency scheme. For example, it takes 3 more years training in the GP scheme to become a GP (family doctor) [0]. Other specialities can take longer.

The British doctors will have spent a year longer hanging around hospitals by the time they are qualified to hang up their own shingle, but the overall timeline is pretty close.

Edit: also, you get paid, both as a trainee doctor in the UK and as a resident in the US.

Salt Lake City is not very dense though. Even downtown is mostly relatively low-rise buildings, maybe 4-6 stories. A few skyscrapers would do wonders for housing capacity. Based on the time I've spent there, SLC is actually a very nice place.

The only thing that concerns me is that the Great Salt Lake is slowly going the way [1] of the Aral Sea [2]. One of the things that makes SLC a bit more interesting and hospitable than the surrounding desert is the snowy mountains all around it and the moderating effect of the big nearby lake. Replace that lake with a dust bowl and you end up with something less compelling.

I see a lot of comments on HN, and elsewhere along the lines of "America is so terrible! Look how the police treat their own citizens!"

The difference between the United States and many (most?) other countries is in the article's title: The word "sue."

In America, aggrieved citizens have the right to correct their government. It's not always easy. It's rarely quick. But it can be done, and it has been done hundreds or even thousands of times in the past.

America is a work in progress. Deliberately.
Ok hold up. I actually live in Portland. There is definitely underplaying of the criminal activity going on by the media, but these are NOT riots.

Now I am not sympathetic to those who claim that Police aren't justified in declaring many of these unlawful gatherings, but I am also not sympathetic to those calling it riots. What is actually happening from my local perspective is that there are mostly peaceful protests with a minority who are engaging in criminal activity. And this is coming from someone whose building's lower windows are boarded up and has seen a rash of attempted break-ins to facilities like our mail room.

But regardless of the gray area of how local Police are trying to walk the line between shutting down criminal activity and respecting the majority's freedom of assembly, it is NOT ok for Federal Agents to be acting in any way besides securing Federal properties. Border Patrol is not local law enforcement. Federal Protective Service is not local law enforcement. Neither should have authority to do anything related to local law enforcement and they most definitely should not be doing anything off of Federal property. It's not their job to police Portland and no one wants them policing Portland; no matter what your views on the current state of unrest that much should be true.

So let me be honest, these aren't riots. Take it from a local...but also note that this local is not a participant so my perspective is from an arm's length at best.
Utah is the most equal state in the US, based on Gini coefficient: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_Gini_co....

California is 47th.

Moving from Utah to California is moving from one of the worst states for equality to the best. There is no trade-off needed regarding inequality, and I doubt there is one needed for safety nets either, Utah is unsurprisingly progressive in that area.
I'm curious what would have to happen for you to consider "the year of the linux desktop" to have happened? I'd say it arguably already has happened.
If anybody enjoys this and wants to take it much further, you might want to check out https://os.phil-opp.com/. This is basically a book-in-progress that shows how to build an OS in Rust OS from scratch. It shows how boot up an OS, and it goes on to show how to set up basic drivers and memory management. He does a great job of explaining each step as he goes.

> The onus is on the content creator

But again, hidden behind that is indeed an air of entitlement. It implies that you are owed content from the creator, and if the creator decides to put it on Youtube, then they are giving away their rights to be compensated by you. And you still don't really acknowledge that what Youtube (not the creator) is providing you should be compensated either.

If you found a shortcut for getting food from a store without paying (let's say a big store like Walmart or McDonalds), do you think it's a fine thing to do? Do you think it's ethical to get the hard work of others for free, just because the company providing said work is rich?
This is only barely waved at in the article, but this guy’s business is a site that helps you find cheap parking near airports. It’s not surprising that he started having a ton of cancellations and chargebacks as people started cancelling trips they weren’t going to take.

I mean if we start seeing other people chiming in that Stripe is making them hold a huge reserve in businesses that are not being made completely impossible by the pandemic then maybe I’ll give some credence to his accusations that this is all Stripe covering their ass for their VC obligations. But “every single travel-related business we serve is having huge jumps in their chargebacks right now and we are making you keep a much larger safety buffer because of that” sounds eminently plausible to me.
In general, yes. But we haven’t before seen what happens when that government has total data and communication control on every individual citizen.

...A very special story arc.

Reminds of of the "fasten your seatbelt" campaign. I can't find a source, but I remember that line being inserted into movies before action sequences as a bit of a PSA. There's a lot TV shows and movies can do to educate people about things, to the point that the way diseases are shown in media should be researched and taken seriously.
> Clinton isn’t incompetent with a long list of failures behind her name.

This is subjective and necessarily highly speculative.

> I despise her but to think that she wouldn’t have been better at handling the pandemic response than Trump is delusional.

Predicting or thinking (about) that is perfectly fine and reasonable. Mistaking subsequent predictions for conclusive facts is what is actually delusional. There are many examples of such delusional behavior on HN every day: mind reading, future predicting (and stating the results as facts), you name it. I think it is fairly true to say that conspiracy theorists (for example) and "smart" people differ more in degree than in kind, although we do not have the means (or ambition, or epistemic skills) to determine the degree to which this is true.

Most of the time, what we consider to be true, is actually unknown.

Any thoughts on the secret police snatching Americans off the streets and disappearing them? Or mostly just mad about rioting?
> 28 days seems pretty definite.

Paraphrasing to give the sense of the original phrase: “until further notice (i.e. indefinitely), as new funds come in we will withhold 25% of them for 28 days (rolling).”
This still leaves the core problem - how does anyone (or anything) experience anything at all?
The power of propaganda is that it's easily digestible. Spending 8 hours reading propaganda requires far less effort than the 1 hour to read something informative or challenging.
> I don't think the parent was claiming that "racism and sexism" were equivalent to "intellectual diversity"

Right, but you don't know because the OP was (in my opinion) trying to score crude rhetorical points rather than intellectual ones.

My point is that the parent, rather than coming right out and stating their point, made some un-useful noises.

If you've got something to say, say it, and say it well. If you just want to "pop off" there are plenty of places online where you can do that: Twitter, etc.

- - - -

Also, I don't agree that "having an ax to grind" is pejorative language. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a sharp ax? I'm trying to encourage the OP to grind the ax boldly, for better or worse. I grind my own axes here on HN regularly.
It is clear from the article that he was told thermoscans of whatever would track the progress of the cancer, and showed that is was being defeated. There is a huge placebo effect on mental outlook of a sciencey test like that. It seems clear that if he had had regular medical scans that showed a growing tumor he might have changed course.

The alternative medicine community it complicit in many avoidable deaths. It's a testament to the power of self delusion that they can sleep at night.
It's a perfect Kafka trap, by resisting arrest by secret police in unmarked vehicles you can be labeled as a "domestic terrorist" later, justifying the arrest post-hoc.

It's especially concerning they have no ID or agency badges, as right wing extremists have been using the protests to dress up like soldiers.

Yeah, it’s probably only 95% accurate.
DHS is like that youngest kid that gets to do a lot more and get away with. Assume that what happened is legal and this type of `snatch and go` is a valid way to detain someone. Does it make it right? It doesn't sound like they were grabbing someone who had an arrest warrant against them. The state seem to not know that these detention were being made. Hard to know who is making the arrest. Hard to know what was being done during detention. Was their phone copied? Is that okay? Maybe more than just the local police have a bit too much power than they need.
Mormons in Utah had access to free education and cheap housing. These things are huge. I know a bunch of Mormons and Formons (former Mormons) who moved there because of a free Brigham Young University education and stayed to work at (and help found and build) local startups because housing was cheap.

Edit: perhaps not "free" education but as-near-as, for any American. That free education was only available to Mormons.

> I counted: a point, a line, a plane, a solid, a solid at a point in time, a solid that might exist in some possible future, and a solid at a point in time that might have existed if our past had been different.

A solid in some parallel universe.

A solid in some fictitious parallel universe.

A solid in some non-cannon fictitious universe.

A solid thinking of another solid in some parallel universe derived by combining one of more non-cannon offshoots of a particular fictitious universe combined with our own but also exploring and deconstructing revisionist history themes.

All of that, but also the main character is revising her schema to be in fifth normal from.

That's kind of arbitrary, but I'm sure it regularly happens on fanfictiction.net

Just because picturing geometry in more than three dimensions is hard, doesn't mean we can't grapple with dimensionality or abstraction. We're pretty good at it.
Yeah but when you imagine a point, you're not really imagining a true point. You most likely think of it as a tiny sphere. Even if you are imagining a true point in a mathematical sense, you can't imagine the point without imaging what is around the point. So it has to have a location in x and y at least. You could even say the z dimension is there since when imagining this point, you are imaging it in your mind's eye as an observer would. We are completely trapped in our viewpoint of the world of it being at the least in three dimensions probably even four because of time.
The first point is the key one, but I’d go further, no ammunition sales without passing the new regulations on gun ownership. You can keep your gun, and any ammo you have now, but no reloads until you’re properly authenticated.
That's true. Saying "anything" was a bit sloppy. I meant to say "any regulated/controlled substances".
There's a very common form of reasoning that humans tend to do. I'll call it reductionism. You can also call it abstraction, or simplification. This is our drive to find a one size fit all solution, a clever trick, something really easy and simple that consistently works.

We all have this tendency, it manifests itself due to the limits of our own intelligence. As humans, we're not intelligent enough to understand, reason, and keep track of complicated things.

Understanding the limits of your understanding and intelligence is really hard, and in my opinion, that's the true sign of knowledge. It is very rare to find someone knowledgeable enough to have a good grasp on those limits.

Diet is not something we are smart enough to understand. Most people will not understand the complexities related to dieting and understanding it. That's why you'll have people parroting simple solutions grounded in beliefs only. It's too complicated to explain why it works, and too complicated to experiment with. So we can neither understand the principles of diet, nor can we try things and see if they work or not.

This is the current state of dieting. Like I said, all complicated things we try to find simple solutions that consistently works. So what can be more simple than say... limiting ourself to a particular food group? Try cutting out all meats. Try only eating meats, maybe cut out all sugar? Maybe eat only natural fats? Or don't eat any fat? Etc.

And the sad truth is, the limits to our intelligence is why people will believe in all kind of stupid things. Until someone actually figures it out, the folk tales will keep coming and the battle of beliefs and idiocy will rage on.

What smart people generally do when faced with limits such as those, is they turn to math and computers to help us reason about things that are out of reach of our own abilities. And until clear breakthrough are made, they take a statistical approach, where you do what at any given point seems to be the most likely model, knowing that it could be completely wrong still, but that's the best you can do to win the odds.

I would blame the CC and banks. Charge backs are expensive, and if the merchant can't fulfill them the payment processor is suddenly on the hook for a lot of money out of nowhere.

It's a defense mechanism to make sure the customer earning you 1k a month in fees doesn't go under and leave you with a 50k bill. All payment processors do it for that reason.

The temple that I belong to was founded in Japan. The honorifics we use to describe our High Priest and other priests are never used by then to describe themselves. That posture is consistent in Japanese society in general, not just the sect of Buddhism I belong to. So this does seem very strange to me.

Of course not. No one wants to potentially risk arrest and or be seriously injured in the political process. What we're seeing is the last resort of people organizing against a broken political system.
You'd have to go in deeper. What does it mean to experience something?
We are conscious because it is critical for moving in our environment. You'll noticed that sleeping and anethstetized patients don't do that very well. The brain is for moving. Abstraction and self-consciousness presumably have similar explanations in terms of survival advantages.
