Do you know why there are left and right-wing economists?
Because economics is not a science.

So yeah, "most likely" is just a wild guess. My guess is that if the price of milk/eggs/notebooks increases, it will drive more people to get cows/chickens/start creating notebooks, thus lowering the price. Hey, its economics, you can say whatever.
I see a lot of HN users living in HN bubble completely forgetting that we are a minority of consumers. Most of Reddit audience is either not educated enough, don't have enough exposure to see the difference or simply don't care. Did we all forgot about eternal September already? So, unfortunately, no - users won't even notice this because they have no idea what's valuable to them and they will buy anything as long as it's packaged nicely. For the same reason they also won't vote with their wallets even when (as you say) "everyone" knows that testimonials are garbage.

It looks like excellent solution for startup: just pay 100% of startup profit to workers by giving them 100% of shares, so they will self-insure themselves and be OK when startup will fail.

My boss doesn't want to pay for a certificate so now all my Windows 10 users (we still have some Win 7 installs out there and even a couple XP) never update my ClickOnce apps.

And this is why out of spite I developed "ClickTwice". It's certainly not as good as ClickOnce but least I ensure they use the latest version of the apps I dev.

Not necessarily. We do some driver behaviour analisys and it accounts for harsh acceleration/deceleration on some speed intervals and harsh cornering. No other tracking is nedded. One could standardize a set of metrics and give the driver a mark. But it's still discrimination by algorithm without any kind of appeal in the end. If you analyse the data from the GPS for instance, any GPS reflection (eg. tall buldings) could cause a jump in speed and trigger false alarms. Same with the accelerometer but on a lesser extent.
If there are structures in place such that the bottom rungs of management are unable or terrified of reporting bad news up the chain, then the problem is not them. The problem is the culture of secrecy and the tools that enable them to silence people.

The CCP is wholly responsible, because they set the standards and they set the mandate (being that societal peace trumps everything including objective medical data).

The CCP is the opposite of transparent, and even aside from the January incident, they took repeated measures to cover up the cases in their country. Additionally, the figures to this day are doubted by US intelligence.

weeell, maybe. I'm relearning a language I haven't touched for years, and while I can apply the high-level stuff to it (I know what an object is, how to declare a class is almost universal, functional stuff is same but renamed, generics are fine) I keep tripping over the small stuff. So yes, "off you go", but rather slowly.

> Oh come now, there are millions and millions of professionals using macOS to do work every single day.

Right, and how many of those are using macOS because they're "forced" to, as a sibling suggests, or simply by force of habit?

Moving from macOS to Linux or Windows (or from any one OS to any other, really) does require some time. It's not necessarily difficult, but it still takes time. Time that the same professionals might find is better spent on their actual professional work.

It could be argued it's a boil the frog situation, but for me that means the incentives to change the OS aren't quite there yet. Maybe if MacOS 10.17 goes too far with restricting what people can run on it, there could be more people switching. But remember, many of those "professionals" are not programmers, they use standard "enterprise" software, like Adobe or whatever. I bet most of those people have no idea what a terminal is. They would probably not even notice such restrictions are in place.
I don't understand your argument. I don't think a business would succeed if it was pushed to precarity, so this is not dealing with exploitation. Exploitation needs to present in many aspects to create business success, it supports the definition of profit. The money made exceeds what it took to make the product or service. To profit is to exploit.

I'm not trying to cast the act of exploitation in business in a judgmental way, but rather to show it exists, because it is universally accepted. It's the other side of the same coin. Yes, it's a weird interpretation of Marxian economics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploitation_of_labour

I want to go to my HR/Legal departament and demand they change clauze 13 in my contract (the part about copyright/IP) to say XX instead (this is an UK contract). What exactly would XX say so it's legaly unambiguous that I keep copyright/IP for all I do outside of work and they keep everything I do during/related to/competing with work?

And I mean it, how EXACTLY have you changed your employment contract to reflect this. I've asked about this before but not received a straight answer so instead of giving opinions about quiting our jobs and go work in a place where this magically does not happen let's all gather here, think about it and write up a convincing clause, then go with it to our employers and demand we have contracts changed, or when negotiating a new job offer. It's easier to give them a piece of text they can review and copy/paste than a vague request of "I want rights", and letting them figure it out for you.

So, if you have a concrete example you have used successfully, please post it below, together with the country. I'm interested in UK specific clauses mainly but write about any country really.

It could work, and it'd certainly give you a good 'ground truth', but there's a couple of reasons currently why it's probably not the best option. Batteries tend to wear out faster when they're deeply discharged, and when they're discharged rapidly. This approach would rapidly, deeply discharge some of your batteries instead of slightly discharging all of them. You could work around it with a sort of 'wear leveling' type battery management system but you'll still be reducing the life of the batteries compared with using the cells all at once.

"That's why minimum wage laws and workers rights are important. "

But ultimately pointless when there are insufficient jobs - which there always are since "inflation targeting" ensures there always will be.

The actual problem is that there are 20 dogs and 19 bones. What we need is a Federal Job Guarantee. An alternative job that everybody has a right to access paying the living wage. Then simple competition sorts the rest out.

The task of the private sector is to eliminate all jobs and replace them with automated capital. Once there is a job alternative in place, we can let the private sector get on with that task.

I don't think that's the case.

Every single instance of genocide in the last 150 years or so started as just some folks expressing a relatively fringe ideology, with plenty of others debating against it vigorously. For whatever reason, that ideology caught on, and then the mass murders start.

People, as a general group, don't evaluate their beliefs in a rational manner. They are biased in favor of the first things they heard; and whatever is most palatable given their emotions and things they already believe.

It's how you can get into a situation where massive numbers of people believe some combination of the ideas earth is 6000 years old and also flat and also that 5G causes covid and also covid was a hoax and face masks are just a mkultra trauma psyop run by the pedophile satanic illuminati cabal run by Hillary Clinton and George Soros.

If people can hold all that in their heads, and not believe any evidence to the contrary; then the idea of suppressing the notions that Black folks/Jewish folks/Muslims/migrants/whatever are the root of society's problems and we should do violence to them starts to make a lot of sense.

I also think that the idea that markets, particularly abstract ones, such as the "free market of ideas" are capable of producing long-term positive outcomes for most participants is, at best, without evidence and at worst pure fallacious thinking.

The power that tech companies accumulate with tactics like this, and the justifications for that power, are strangely reminiscent of autocratic governments: we decide which programs you can develop and run, and we can levy an arbitrary 30% income tax (on top of regular VAT). But don't worry, it's all for your safety and security!

We are fast becoming corporate citizens, for better and for worse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3pkkSNRug4

While there is some truth to the security argument - security after all is sometimes at odds with freedom - good computer security can certainly be achieved without this degree of centralization of power. Maybe you can't protect a determined user from hurting themselves, but that seems like an acceptable price for freedom.
Curious about the container capabilities that enabled them to attack the host network: per the docs [1] containers do not get `CAP_NET_ADMIN` by default, but they do get `CAP_NET_RAW`. I assume that's what allowed them to inspect/inject and network traffic and thus spoof the HTTP response.

So `docker run --net=host --cap-drop=NET_RAW` seems like it might be a good idea. I wonder if it's still needed for `ping` and such in modern Linux?

This is why I always found it odd that Trump would get attacked for setting tariffs.

Minimum wage essentially requires tariffs, as long as the world doesn't have equal income. If people are only willing to pay a $1 for a shirt, but to make it in the US will require to charge $2, but the same shirt in China will only cost $0.50, what will happen? Now instead of having a factory with low wage employees, you have no factory, no employees, no supply chain.

In reality I always liked drawing, I do sketch stuff during meetings and really like visual tools to reason about stuff. But for some reason I never really found the time to improve my drawing abilities.

More recently I did start drawing in the traditional sense, and this is something I do enjoy a lot (and yes, I experience something close to being "in the zone", too).
Assuming you can find a bit of time in your day I think that any kind of drawing practice, even just doodles, can be fun, relaxing and possibly provide other benefits too (like going for a walk helps you work on problems in the back of your mind).

> $100 isn't going to do much.

I disagree completely with this statement. My wife is from India I am "American" to simplify things. During lockdown in India which has been brutal we sent $100 to my wife's mother to at least help with food for families there. She went to a driver she knew who could procure the bulk food. He signed on with the effort procured the first batch. Then soon some of my wife's mother's former students signed on to help. We continued to send more money not knowing what our situation would be in a few months time (luckily I have been able to keep my job) More people signed on to help procure and deliver food to families and people who were migrating on foot away from the cities and back to their villages all in the face of brutal beatings by the hands of the police. It's beyond shameful what has been happening in India during this pandemic. Soon my wife's mother was able to convince other middle/upper middle class Brahmin families to donate to this effort as well. We continued to send more money ourselves. In all we sent $15,000 to help so far. A school field was turned into a distribution location and hundreds of families were lining up every day to pick up food as the government continued to bungle their operations. by that time a network of drivers had signed on who were procuring food and distributing it as well. To this day more volunteers have signed on and donations continue to happen from within the community to keep the effort going. $100 started as a pilot light and through the passions of the people has turned into so much more! You would be amazed what such a small amount can start. Even $10 will make a difference. Discouraging people is part of the problem. Do not do this! I understand there is corruption and the plight of the Indian farmer is unimaginable! Sharing what is happening there is important, no doubt! Just please don't make it harder for the mostly untold stories that happen every day that don't get news coverage or don't get talked about much. This is the only place I have shared this story, but the effort is still going on.
> That just follows from the premise of your question.

That is a bit too simplistic of a calculation, since a tax rate also affects lower and upper class. You might as well end up with way less tax income by applying that simple rule.

And that complete proposal is very weak: only 666 pounds per month UBI, which doesn't even cover rent, and the average full-time employee loses 4.2K per year. If that is the best, ideal calculatio you can come up with, it is very weak, no?
You do not say what this plan is and what UBI you are talking about.

In my example, which is what this trial does, it is plainly unaffordable.

> Home and/or municipal composting adds another level to this, and it'd be great to get to the point where a large percentage of packaging was directly compostable. That'll be tricky -- you don't want the packaging to break down until after the lifetime of the food inside it -- but likely doable as manufacturing advances.

I think we should change our expectations for food shopping/packaging and shelf life. If we move away from an expectation for year-round availability, and crazy long shelf life, we can do away with all of the shipping, warehousing and packaging that is derived from that demand. In regards to carbon, packaging is non-trivial, but I think it is second to the shipping involved.
