Basically what I want is to have some clauses like the following:

13.8. $COMPANY and any Group Company will not attempt to claim copyright, intellectual property rights, nor patent right to any creation done outside of working hours (also known as employees free time), outside of the premises, and not using any $COMPANY facilities, as long as any such creation does not relate to the employees current responsibilities, and as long as it does not directly compete with $COMPANY business model and business activities.

13.9. As long as you do not go against clause 13.8, you are not obligated to disclose to us your creations.

Also I might need to change some of the existing 13.* clauses to reflect that clause 13.8 exists and is an exception to the reach they claim in them.

How does this sound?

I'm against it, because it promotes consumerism, which is the root of environmental problems, the most likely number 1 issue of the current and next decades

People should have minimal essential/vital needs rather: home, water, electricity, (organic) food, healthcare.

I spend less than 50€/month on food, because I forage it (even if I live in a city) (figs, oranges, medlars, persimmons, grapes, ..), and I buy some vegetables at a local producer and some rice at supermarket, and I'm pretty much full with this

We need high-scale changes, less cars, less consumerism, less pollution, less useless activities, more (public) fruit trees and vegetables
It would be ridiculous to assume the Deaths/World Population figure is the risk for yourself.

That's similar to claiming that, because only 93% of all humans ever born have died so far, your risk of dying is 93%. It may be mathematically sound, but completely ignores the context of the problem: That for the living/not-yet-infected the result is still outstanding.
This life cycle analysis paper shows that 90% of co2 output from fertilizer is offset by increased biomass production. This is important nuance.

While 30km is certainly on the long end, it's not uncommon for people to commute such distances by bike here as well (Netherlands).
More like sports bikes don't have fuel gauges (saves weight, amirite?) and make do with low fuel warnings instead, which serves the same purpose as a reserve tank without the need for a switch.

Neither my MV Agusta nor my BMW S1000R have fuel gauges. The BMW does the odometer trick itself though to estimate remaining mileage. It's often way out of course, depending on throttle usage.

(It's possible the BMW has a meter but it doesn't present a level, only miles remaining. I still think it's a style thing - something you don't put on sport bikes.)
Most of the methods I see here involve a ritual used to change your mindset. A ritual can be anything, as long as it has to be done in a particular way. For example, taking a shower then changing the room lighting can be enough of a ritual to get you into "play" mode. The ritual needs to take some amount of time to do, a 10 second ritual probably won't work. The longer the ritual is the more reliably it may work. Meditation can work also. It's kind of like an open ended ritual that can continue until you get to where you want to be.

It makes complete sense to start using the mouse, and to keep improving our own workflows over time. Take the Mac interface: it's built in a way that allows users to just use the mouse, but everything is accessible via keyboard shortcuts. One of the key features of the Mac is the constant feedback the user gets, and the fact that this feedback is always the same, whether the user uses the keyboard or the mouse. Animations, selections, menu highlight when invoking actions... It's a very well-thought experience that makes things better for all kinds of users.
They're competent enough to install software, they just don't explore a lot in the UI. If they can't figure out how to do something with what's in front of them, they have a tendency to assume it can't be done. In other words, if they click on an app and the only options are "Move to Trash" and "Cancel", they're going to assume that their only options are moving the app to the trash or cancelling

This common knowledge enough that this does not need a citation. Its not just the addiction part, votes get caste on whether the candidate will hand out some free alcohol, a color TV and some cash as a one time incentive to get their vote. The thing is that this works in many states of India. Since getting the votes is so easy (although there is some arms race among the candidates) it should not be a surprise that after being elected these candidates are after their own interest (wealth grab) than do their job of representing the people.

The problem is much more deep-rooted than addiction. There is a large class of people who have not benefitted from the democracy in the ~60 odd years of independence. The way they think is, "I am not going to get anything out of this anyway, neither did my earlier generation. This way I will at least get a TV and some free booze"

Marx didn't actually claim that labour should "get all the profits" - in fact he went to great lengths to explain his criticism of the contemporary socialist movement for demanding that (in Capital, Volume 1). Instead he differentiated profits from surplus value, the latter also containing the share of profits needed for reinvestment, further capitalization of the company etc. He criticized the 19th century socialists for demanding all profits should go the workers, because that would mean the inevitable failure of the company (the competition would reinvest, furthering productivity, and in the end outcompete the company paying out all profits).

Instead, Marx argued for worker control over the profits.

Here in Finland the agroforests (99% of all forest coverage) generally do get some biodiversity in them but then the entire plantation is clear cut and the forest floor is raked clean and sterilised of all life. They take everything but rocks. The end result is a massive biodiversity loss.

Okay, this is where the analogy breaks down: one can totally have a non exclusive app store where people are guaranteed a certain level of quality, and a reasonable expectation of not downloading malware. For instance: Steam.

The only thing non-exclusive stores can't do is protect people from themselves. And even then you could still have the kid gloves on by default, yet let people take them off whenever they want. For instance by displaying some mildly scary warning about some program not being verified by the OS vendor, and then still let people click on the "install anyway" button. (The "Windows protected your PC" popup would be like that, though I think it overshoots to the point of dishonesty.)
Sounds like some companies got it right, then. I wwould advise figuring out which company one is in before agitating for policy change though.

"It's a feature, not a bug"? ;-)
I think it's interesting to consider that, increasingly, third-party APIs are becoming first-party tools. While your interpretation would also be correct, if the API is doing the generating [0], is that one line of code or "an integration"? What's the delineation between the two if the APIs behave as a native developer might expect a package to behave? Stripe famously launched with the "7 lines of code" tagline. :) [1]

> ... in part because of its laissez-faire approach to letting the user install anything from anywhere.

This comment makes it seem like installing software outside of a curated store is responsible for security issues, but this is exactly what Linux and other like OSes do. You can install apps from anywhere and I'll wager you'll find less malware, adware etc. for them in the wild, than the Mac. Granted usage of these platforms as a Desktop is way lower making it a less attractive target for bad actors, but much of it owes to inherent OS design.

> And if an open source application wants to become popular for the masses - not the HN power user crowd, which represents only a small percentage of potential customers - they have to conform to its rules.

Open source applications have been popular with the masses way before the curated store app store model came into place. Publishing on an app store has a good chance for increasing outreach, but it should not make distribution and installation of applications in the classical way more cumbersome, should the user so desire.

Road conditions would be rather … different though.

While I was in Kanpur, which is a prominent city in another prominent state, I would find cadavers of every kind, some road kills, some not, excrements of every kind, recklessly driven thundering trucks that could run you over, elephants waiting at street lights along with shiny imported cars. Its quite surreal if you think about it.
>Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if we just said "that sucks" and required a full postmortem instead.

I think this way of thinking is crucial. Ultimately, these projects start to take this shape at conception... long before the failures are realized. The heads-i-win-tails-you lose games. The liability avoidance. The negotiation of guilt for the expected failures down the road.

It's a similar game in the corporate world, like with enterprise software. Everyone knows that an ERP project will blow the budget and timeline. Lots of lawyerly hours are spent creating liability frameworks for it. The result is always ambiguous, pinning failures on specification failures, changing requirements or whatnot.

Systems respond to incentives in many ways, but institutional (government, commercial, NGO, charity...) response to liability is rarely a positive sum game.

Not saying I have the answers, just that the obvious ones have been tried and failed.

This isn't a marginal issue. As it stands now, there is are huge categories if things we need and can't have... because the systems for getting them are horribly ineffective.

If trains cost 5X what they could cost, we effectively can't have new public transport systems. That's not sustainable.
