The amazing thing is there is next to no coverage in the US press (as of right now, there is one article in the NY Times, from 2017).

Trump threw out TPP, which was designed to isolate China, and in doing so managed to do the opposite, isolating the US economically from the entire Asia-Pacific region. This is going to massively favor China in its fight for economic dominance with the US for the next decades, and probably the greatest failure of policy in the last 50 years, yes, even worse than the Iraq war. India is the other great loser.
OK but let's pretend that volcano has a really nice view of the ocean, and a super stable climate all year round! All of a sudden that one crazy guy building a home there becomes thousands, they become millions. Now let's give this volcano a name, something random like "California".

At what point can the "if someone wants to build on California, just let them" be squared away against the inevitable humanitarian disaster of thousands of displaced families in our hypothetical location?

At what point does the government step in and say: we'll the first guy was dumb, but we let him do it, then other followed and now we have thousands and thousands and can't ignore it anymore.
I'm curious: how does one know such things?

Note:

- your first statement references the entirety of HN; it is plausibly likely that you have not consumed (and comprehensively perceived with complete accuracy, and remembered) the entirety of forum discussions on HN

- your second statement involves events in the future - as far as I know, the ability to accurately predict the future in a multivariate scenario has never been proven

If I am incorrect on either of these two items, I would appreciate any corrections you may have.
I just don't think that the UK has announced any sort of substantial public investment that would enable what you're saying in 2030 to actually be a reality. The free market is not going to deliver an EV infrastructure that works for the average driver by that time period given current levels of investment; ergo, without public investment, a 2030 ban is unreasonable.

Engine braking is an important part of driving safely because it avoids losing control of the steering wheels and can be used to drive at constant speed or slow down on slippery surfaces (snow, ice, water etc.)

There's a reason if trucks are still mainly manual and even the automatic transmission in trucks is not the same used in cars (it's much more advanced and it's more a computer activated gear than simply automatic)

- read literature/fiction/prose more and less of the bottomless-eversamey noisy oceans of opinions/facts/nonfiction if "more joy, less hectic nervosity" is desired from one's reading times in life

- analog hobby classics like drawing or instruments (without online sharing for likes / follows / thumbs etc) allow self-paced slowly-but-ever-slightly-improving journeys of exploration, experimentation, expression in a meditative/contemplative restfully-quietly-alert-at-peace facilitating (with some care) prolonged times in absence of judgments (the own "inner tormenter" gives up soon enough, being impatient with everything and everyone and the self) / milestones / levels / ranks / career possibilities (aka worldly or abstract hopes/fears).

Both have in common: no instant gratifications but constant littler ones (if creative sudden ideas / surprises tickle you a bit each time they pop up out of seemingly nowhere) --- not gamified / skinner-boxed --- no social signalling or group dis/approval considerations drowning out your at-heart innermost spirit.

Apply a known safe encapsulation process to one of the vaccines that works and make it shelf-stable. That's worth a billion.

Some of the vaccines are a fragile messenger RNA molecule with nothing to protect it. That's good, because it's the minimal molecule that will do the job, reducing the risk of side effects. But it has to be kept frozen at dry ice temperatures before use. The "user friendly" version needs to follow.

I have a suspicion that a complex voting system (like, anything more complex than "most votes win") would spread greater confusion and distrust, that's just my pessimism.

I would be happy if we could have a national popular vote to choose the president, that reduces complexity. I'm wary of anything more, though I do like that there are now some experiments here and there with other systems.

Edit: I've recently come to the conclusion that the real value of elections is as a national show of force.

It is absolutely a poverty problem first. Racism is much harder to maintain when the evidence in front of your face is of <member of group P> doing just fine, and where continuing to be racist costs you something. Capitalism got this right.

On one hand, European culture is indeed hypocritical to throw stones at the US over racism. Quite staggeringly so, actually. If I may, it's also an excellent demonstration that skin colour really isn't that important, and the US obsession over it is a bit weird.
I mentioned M1 and specifically excluded it since it is unreleased. Is that fully released such that I can buy it right now? Apple site says 17th Nov. Can't know if it breaks things until it is released.

I also said 'architecture change' so by your count that would be 2. But Rosetta was only for PowerPC to x86 wasn't it? There seems to have been emulation for the 68x chips but was it seamless without breaking anything?

I mean any company could change architecture but rely on a customer using an emulator that isn't really not breaking things.

So by my count, 1, but if I am wrong and the 68x translation was equally as seamless and breakless than 2.

But to say it was unheard of you need to reference all the other companies that transitioned architecture and broke stuff. I can't think of another general computing supplier who did that but I might be wrong - can you give an example?

The fact that it's marginally faster is almost irrelevant.

What really matters is that it's using about 1/3 the power of a comparable Intel chip while doing it, and that Intel routinely has a 60%+ quarterly profit margin (probably much higher on PC chips) that Apple now gets to keep.

The important thing to note here, and something I questioned before opening the article, is that their second wave includes hospitalizations and deaths.

So it’s not “sure, they’re not immune, but their exposure to it isn’t anywhere near as deadly for their population”, etc. Instead, they’re experiencing quite a lot of death and hospitalizations, which seems an unfortunate result in their experiment.

I hope they recover from this and many lives are saved from here on, for them.

> it effectively nullifies the argument for more nuanced voting mechanisms such as Score Voting.

I'm extremely confused by this statement. All the systems the parent is talking about still use plurality. Substituting in another voting method doesn't change the fact that each state works slightly differently (and really every county).

I'd also say that if this was your goal then you'd want something besides plurality. RCV/IRV would probably be good because it is highly inefficient because you have to do many different rounds whereas systems like plurality and condorcet (exception to STAR, which has 2 rounds) are single round methods.

I should mention Ireland and Australia does hand counting with IRV (Australia has had IRV for 100+ years). I don't think the hand counting is really a major factor, though I will still contend that ordinal systems are needlessly complicated when we have cardinal systems available to us (which also give higher fidelity).
I think it's unlikely. Once you fully unchain the beast of partisanship like they have, then it's very hard to releash it.

Wish I could give this 100 upvotes.

HN of all places should be a place where people understand that domain models matter, that precisely specifying them for either purposes of automation or legal formalization is going to involve significant descriptive effort, possibly even volume, and even apparently simple things -- from trade and health care down to how the arithmetic you think you're used to -- have a lot of complexity underneath them.

I've heard this POV many times but it seems very hard to believe. Especially with the internet, the knowledge gap is closing or already closed. Capital is now generally available for good ideas, and access to electronics and computing hardware in many Chinese cities is better than in the US.

With 4x the population of the US, many of whom now have access to the whole of human knowledge via the internet, hardware and cheap manufacturing for rapid iteration, how does this not result in change?

The parent comment was responding to the grandparent comment's apparent claim that a green card is equivalent to the whole developed world. There's no dispute that a green card is valuable.

A more useful correction to the parent comment: GP probably just meant that the green card was what currently gave them access to the whole of the developed world, not that it's the only way to access some of the countries in it.
I bought a core memory board in a Philadelphia tech junkyard in the late '80s. It probably cost around $5. It's my favorite artifact from the era in which I became a software developer.

The Charisma Myth book has plenty of interesting research and content, but by far the most important things are the exercises. At a basic level they are about being very aware of your internal state and then learning how to change it. When I first started going through the exercises, it kinda felt like I was learning a new language, and it opened a whole new world of possibilities.

Btw, if you just want to test it out before buying the book, check this summary[0] out and follow the "Three quick tips to boost charisma" mentioned in the second bullet of chapter 1.

Your perspective is absurd. Of course the court has a left wing. It's just not radical enough for your liking and, similarly, the court's right wing isn't radical enough for David Duke's liking.
That's the trouble. The supposed anti-dumping measures seem to have very little to do with any actual dumping and everything to do with Australian politicians daring to criticise China - but because China is a totalitarian dictatorship with no free press, it's impossible to prove it. So letting countries like China enter into FTAs effectively gives them more economic leverage to force democracies like Australia to fall in line, since the whole point is to increase the amount of trade and economic dependency between the countries.

I do not consider nuclear energy a viable alternative to the hydrocarbon economy. I have considered it and I have dismissed it. You will not change my mind unless you can produce it off planet. I have dismissed it as a non-viable option (apparently the "non-viable" part is inconceivable to you.) This dismissal is not tied to my need to coddle and protect my identity as an activist.

"It highlights the very important point that activist groups will quite often ignore viable solutions. This is usually because they wish to keep on being activists and keep on continuing the fight."

This line dismisses .. pretty much anyone advocating for change. "I proposed a solution that works for me. They don't like it. They must wish to protect the identity." Pure poppycock.

I wonder if our pop culture and awareness/focus on unicorns and startups is leading some people to think they have a high chance of success when in fact it's like playing the lottery.

Seeing all these TV shows, movies, HN posts about people starting their own company, etc. I think people greatly overinflate the chances that you make it even somewhat mediocre big -- if you even have an idea that's any good.

Like one of the big logistics companies advertising that, hey you can be a truck driver in control of your destiny -- when in fact, it's paying up front for the training, taking out a loan for the truck, and being in debt for years. Or kids enrolling in music school hoping to become a celeb.

Except here, you do it to yourself through hopes and dreams.

TPP is DOA.

It has been demonized by the conservatives, or anti-globalists from both parties, here in US. With PA/WI/MI being the king maker in past 2 elections in US, I dare any president would go that far to agonize the voters in those states, even though it might be strategically right choice to stabilize US's influence in Asia.

>I'm worried that insurgent candidate like those in 'the squad' were only allowed to succeed as an olive branch to the left-populists for the purposes of maintaining a coherent anti-trump coalition.

I don't buy that but happy to be proven wrong. I was following AOC's race closely before she won her election (any before anyone had heard of her). They went out of their way to work with and endorse her competitor. It was AOC's hustle and innovative techniques that made up for her huge money disadvantage (~300k at the end of the election vs ~3mil) as well as the fact that her rival was appointed the seat through a loophole (and so never really learned how to run a campaign) that resulted in her win.

The opposition spent 10+ million trying to unseat her since then.
The countries who had strict lockdowns are having second waves. The countries who had lax lockdowns are seeing a second wave. With the exception of island nations and those who imposed restrictions that are not legally possible in most of the west, the virus will spread until immunity is reached. Either through vaccines or naturally.

The only sane response is to continue as close to normal as possible while protecting the vulnerable and reducing risk via masks and distancing.

Somehow _this_ is the controversial opinion.

> how is it that you are able to read this story and frame it in your mind within the larger context of vaccines, but others aren't?

A) I didn't know the information from the link in the first comment you replied to, about older and newer polio vaccines.

B) I'm able to because I'm already better informed about vaccines and vaccine safety than most people. I am by no means an expert. And, not to dance around it, I'm also smarter and better educated than most people; I'm above average in those areas and I assume you are too.

> editorialize and push a point of view

Editorializing is offering an opinion. Including salient facts about different polio vaccines or vaccine safety is not editorializing.

Everyone has a point of view, that's not contrary to doing good journalism.

> You clearly understood that this polio outbreak does not mean all types of vaccines are dangerous.

And yet there are instances of this story being used as "proof" that vaccines are dangerous. It's confirmation bias on their part and it would be more difficult to make that mistake if this story had more facts about vaccines for context.

Growing distrust in all vaccines and science in general is a huge problem so while I wouldn't choose to include information in this story about how this isn't bad news for possible COVID-19 vaccines, I would understand the choice.

I do think stories that try to stick to just the narrowest facts do a disservice to their audience. For instance, good-faith context for extreme weather stories should routinely include information about how human-caused climate change is a reason for increased frequency and severity.

My understanding has been that the need for statins has been over-stated. The gist being, Big Sugar paid (off) a couple Harvard researchers to implicate fat and cholestoral; given sugar a free pass.

Yes, absolutely, high risk individuals can benefit from statins. But higher counts are not necessarily synonymous with risk. Family history is often a better signal than simply _a_ person's counts via a given blood test.
