Well that's a bit different than your earlier statement that we should "ruthlessly tax" capital gains.

Capital gains get a favorable treatment because we want to encourage investment that creates economic growth, but comes with risk of loss.
Why not, there's no ethical reason to oppose that. There was a guy who got his limb amputated and served the meat as tacos to his friends. That was completely legal and not unethical to do.
I read Plato's Republic in three weeks at 14.

It was a lot more interesting than anything else at school because it actually talked to you instead of talking at you. If you're going to start anywhere you might as well start there because ethics is an area everyone can understand and the republic is written in a way that anyone with a working brain can appreciate.

For those on Linux you can do this with:

f=$(mktemp);man -t "$@" > "$f" && ( {some-pdf-viewer} "$f" ; rm "$f" )

... replacing '{some-pdf-viewer}' with whatever PDF viewer works for you. There is probably one that will take the document on stdin, but I am not aware of one.

I realize I'm late to the party here, but thought is was worth posting anyway. (edited for typo)

I totally agree. Everybody who thinks game UIs are somehow good doesn't play games...
Yep: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/using-native-node-m...
But a city needs different buildings with different uses, no? However, IIUC, a LVT would tax a plot of land by what use it could theoretically be put to in order to make the most money. And this is evaluated individually for each plot of land, with no regard for what would actually happen in reality if every single plot of land would actually be put to use in the most money-making way. Would a LVT not force a monoculture of, say, only lofts, where previously each landowner might have opted to allow things like nightclubs or the occasional park or other forms of variation and whimsy? If you tax every land owner as if they have the maximum possible income, do you not essentially force every landowner to implement that way in order to acquire it?
Taxation isn't thievery.
Housing first doesn’t mean free housing for life.
What I wrote was confusing.

Heisenberg says that we cannot know both position and velocity with arbitrary precision.

This is inherent to any wave-based system. BUT, this only means we cannot know (as in theoretically prevented) all of the variables to arbitrary enough precision to accurately predict the outcome.

It doesn’t mean, however, that there aren’t any initial conditions even prior to measurement.

Nor does Bell’s inequality doesn’t negate this. Note Lso that non-local does not imply that causality is broken (you cannot transmit information FTL via decoherence).

In fact, one of the more interesting (and unexplored) possibilities is that the boolean-logic law of excluded middle is wrong.

This is because Bell’s derivation is pure arithmetic and logic. It’s the one bit of QM that any student can follow.

Lest this is handwaved away, know that there are entire branches of constructivist mathematics that do just this.
If you’re referring to her spat on Twitter with Yann LeCun, I am aware of it although not particularly well versed in its details. Certainly not well enough that I could claim it was “toxic”, although maybe that would be an accurate classification of her behavior. Regardless, her toxic behavior elsewhere is not an excuse for toxic behavior here.
My favorite genre as well. Found this one riveting and hilarious: Wireless Nation: The Frenzied Launch of the Cellular Revolution by James B Murray.

a long time ago, Chrome's whole profile system, all your data, was synced via a system atop XMPP. there used to be a demo server one could host to DIY it themselves.

the failure of us all to exercise, to make use of this, to make more systems for ourselves, resounds as one of the defining failures of early 2010's. i'm not sure how we failed to take something so close at hand, so available, so ready to go, to build more, to build further. but we all did, all of us who were around, interested parties: we did not seize that possibility, back when it was ready made for us to play with. one of the defining sadnesses of my life.
So this is the crux of the problem right here.

The government of Quebec fined a comedian $30 000 for making a joke about a handicapped person.

I think the issue is that 'Freedom of Expression' ought to exist - it's #1 in Canada and #2 Ammendment in the US, but there's no such thing as 'unrestricted' speech, and, institutional controls are going to have to be in place.

If you're plotting with your buddies to walk into the post office and murder someone ... well I'll bet most people think your Signal channel should be snared.

If you want to call a Female Trans person a 'He' because that' what they are biologically, even if they present themselves as a She ... well, most people think that should be legal, but there are absolutely people with power who want to make that a form of hate speech.

On Twitter right now, I'm thankful that they are adding notes to indicate that specific actions of election fraud.

But they have also indicated they will ban you for 'dead naming' or 'misgendering' a Trans person.

So you know the Actress 'Ellen Page' is now trans, so 'he' is now 'Elliot Page'. Fair enough. But if you literally use the term 'Ellen Page' or refer to them as 'She' - you could be banned. Which is ridiculous.
Perhaps those who object have more to lose or have worked harder. Everyone has had different challenges that shape their perspective. We can never assume to understand another person’s motivation or understanding.
Do you really think that a person can misinterpret a fire alarm with the huge cloud of smoke? Of course, you can assume that others know something about it. But then the logical thing to do is to ask for this knowledge, the knowledge that contradicts yours. Demand a proof, solve your inconsistency. Maybe you're hallucinating. Following blindly is not a reasonable choice, if this contradicts your own feelings.

There is no reason to investigate something if it doesn't contradict your knowledge. It's reasonable to investigate the "Dead End" sign only if every other driver goes under it. Because this is inconsistency. And not to drive just like others, but ask for an explanation first.

Yes, those "heuristics" may be good enough in a lot of situations. Just like instincts, they can be useful too. But we can't let instincts rule over our rational mind. This doesn't work. There would be no civilization in such case.
Here in California, we have huge budgets to tackle the homeless problems, which are paid for from taxes. Yet the homeless situation has not changed anywhere here that I can see. Where is that tax money going to?
This is false equivalence.

Whilst the media can influence people, including politicians, there is very little in common between the lead up to the Iraq war and the mass murders the parent poster is referring to.
I think I've been lurking for almost 8 years. I only recently started an account.

Hacker News has helped me learn to be a better programmer in mostly two ways:

1) Be enthusiastic and write honestly about what interests you. Keeping notes is helpful.

2) Hacker News is a community. The dialogue is mostly good for the topics I'm interested in. It is easier to do things and learn things when you listen to people.
That’s a great point regarding a false positive / compromised server acting maliciously.

One problem is that even when using a security setup like the one I’ve implemented, it’s still a one-to-one relationship.

Do you know if there’s a shared data / collective approach so for example, you and I could connect our traffic data to a shared fail2ban implementation for example?
> Is Bill Gates degrading or improving the lives of people on the whole? Same question for Elon Musk.

Only part of Bill Gates' wealth is attributable to the value he created. At least some of that wealth was due to establishing and protecting monopolies on desktop operating systems and office suites.

Yes, quite a bit of harm was done as a side effect of protecting those monopolies, not to mention from extending them into other markets. The simplest and most direct harm was an extra $50 tacked onto the price of every desktop PC purchased even if you didn't want (or already had) a copy of Windows.

As for Musk, it's early days yet, and his companies are still in "Blue Ocean Strategy" mode. We'll have to wait and see what happens once SpaceX and Tesla are defending an entrenched position.
It's really a pity vendoring & static linking has become so widely accepted, so prevalent.

It allows such drift from upstream, freedom from responsibility to maintain yourself as something modern. It increases both the size of what you have to distribute, and the memory profile. And it means that when a security update is necessary, each library consumer has to be responsible & on-time with delivering updates rapidly.

It feels like it was created out of such petty, small needs & wants. It's convenient to be able to copy a binary around anywhere, & have it just work. It's convenient to stand off, on your own, ignorant of the world you exist in. But it's so contrary to me to good healthy engineering practices, enables such radical irresponsibility & divergence. I don't see a lot of push back to static linking, but it feels like a modern & popular plague to me. Go, rust, the whole world software development world seems to be increasingly less interested in systems, & more interested in itself.
No, I'm sorry, the high horse you're trying to ride here just isn't going to hold the weight of the ideological argument you tried to make. Timnit Gebru was severed from Google because of a conflict between her and the research practices at Google. Moreover, the story begins with her offering an ultimatum and Google preemptively accepting her resignation. No part of this story reasonably involves the "gender differences" and "difficult truths" you're invoking.

Dropping boilerplate ideological provocations onto unrelated threads isn't good-faith conversation. Whether you mean it to be or not, it has the effect of trolling, and on HN, trolling is a strict-liability offense; your mens rea matters less than the outcome.

Please don't do things like this on HN.
Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting Hegel and Nietzsche, but Heidegger and Nietzsche.

Hegel, however, was clearly influential, so he shouldn't be left out of a list of influential philosophers. I'm just personally not a fan of his at all, and were it not for his significance I would skip him.
Not "web" but the "attention economy" which tries to lure users into echo chambers and raise outrage in these chambers, so that the users spend more time there and click more (political) ads.

Stay away from the outrage machine. Be polite. Assume your partner in a dialogue is neither a fool nor malevolent. Quench flames. Try to understand, not to prove you're right.

Sounds easy and obvious, doesn't it?
AC Grayling edited a pair of introductory volumes on philosophy, aptly titled Philosophy I and Philosophy II. They are meant as a guide to the subject from a modern, Analytic perspective. Each volume contains extended, self-contained, essays on philosophic subtopics and history.

Why AC Grayling's Philosophy I & II instead of the Stanford Encyclopedia: It is 2 volumes, so much, much shorter. I have no idea how long the SEP is in print, but I imagine somewhere near an order of magnitude longer, maybe two orders of magnitude. It is meant to be useful for philosophy grad students and professors. You asked for an introduction.

Why AC Grayling's Philosophy I & II instead of his History of Philosophy. Actually, they are pretty similar. The History is a single volume, so it has the advantage of brevity. But it is more idiosyncratic and Grayling is more out of his depth. Russell's History of Philosophy is worse still in this regard. Scott Soames has a history entitled The World Philosophy Made, which is even more Analytic in outlook.

Why not primary sources: Why not? It is how I went along in the subject. Just start with Plato. Apology (who is this Socrates character anyway?) -> Meno (What is knowledge anyway?) -> Republic (is it better to do injustice or be injusticed?). That will be enough to start. There are plenty of other good suggestions here.

Why not an introduction to Continental philosophy: Actually, I can recommend one. Robert Pippin's Modernism as a Philosophical Problem.

(My credentials. I was a philosophy major at the University of Chicago, which is an Analytic program, where I tried to pursue Continental philosophy, and I have a master's from The New School, which is a Continental program, where I tried to pursue Analytic philosophy.)
Dynace – Object-Oriented Extension to C
I disagree. Designing ergonomic interfaces is too often too far from designing playful interfaces that support the gameplay. Game designers != UX designers. UX designers already are the "game designers" of applications. And unfortunately they are not that often part of game development teams.
The reason for giving capital gains a preferred long term rate is inflation. If you invest in business for 10 years and double your money, you've made a 7% annual return. But if inflation averaged 7% during that time you actually made zero economic gains.

A better way to restore progressively to capital gains is to index them for inflation, and then you can tax them at ordinary income rates.

No, they buy the land underneath your house for $50,000. They can then charge you a use fee for the land. If you don't want to be charged a use fee, you publish a higher price for your land.
I'm personally much more a fan of Seneca. I find his On the Shortness of Life and many of his Moral Letters to be far more eloquent, readable, and profound than Marcus Aurelius or any other stoic.
This still gives you something to work from, since the mortgage (or appraised value) - improvements = land value.

Wow, people talking about getting a 512gb SSD in their laptop for $2.5K as a good deal is kinda amazing- I think my $450 HP Pavilion with a 1050 and AMD 3500H might just be faster in every single way (but it definitely has lower build quality...)

> That’s why few modern fundamentalists own slaves or stone disabled people who enter church. Perhaps you can ding them for inconsistency....

I don't know of any religions which require adherents to own slaves, so it is not inconsistent for a fundamentalist to not own any. (In particular, Christians are commanded to obey the laws of their country[0], in general, so owning slaves would be inconsistent).

Also, I don't know why you think churchgoers would have a problem with disabled people. Jesus healed the sick, and didn't stone anyone. Perhaps you're thinking of the story of the woman caught in adultery, whom Jesus saved from being stoned.[1]

To answer your second question first, The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand started me down this path. The sheer brazenness of the title made me pick it up: what I read over the next few days broke me. Or the old me.

I've long left Rand behind, but she's a good start for a bare-knuckle punch to the teeth regarding altruism, egalitarianism and the beliefs of the political Left.

Later I picked up the usual suspects: the Greeks, the Stoics, the modern philosophers. Read the classics of the East and of India, read more modern mystics, read the pragmatists, the existentialists and the Communists. Read the economists (Adam Smith et al.) Read Popper, Wittgenstein, Sartre, Heidegger, Rawls, Kripke, Kuhn, Habermas, etc.

I guess if I were to recommend a starting point, I'd start with Book One of David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature. Be sure to heed the title of the book--it's a discussion of human nature, not of the world as-is, as-was or as-will-be. And the first book explores how we understand the world (i.e. ideas) and the limits of our understanding. Note it's a little daunting due to the older language (e.g. connexion vs connection, lots of 'tis, 'tho', 'twill, lots of apostrophe-d) and some of his arguments are initially confusing (skip and come back later,) but it will give you a firm grounding on which to consider later philosophy (and much else besides.)

After that, it won't matter too much which books you start with. If you're young, I'd recommend sticking to fiction for a while, pick up some of the old stuff (Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Dante (Inferno,) Rabelais, Cervantes, etc.) Add some new stuff, too (Camus, Tagore, Yoshikawa, Flannery O'Connor, Colson Whitehead, Colum McCann, too many to name.) Once you start hitting thirty or so is when you might pick up some philosophy. The benefit of reading the old stuff first (e.g. Aristotle's Ethics, Plato's Symposium) is that later writers reference them. Even today, were you to read about, for example, the writing craft, teachers still quote Aristotle's Poetics (e.g. all stories have a beginning, middle and end.)

As for personal philosophy, experience will shape you more, especially if/when you have kids, pay higher taxes, buy a house, suffer a sudden medical condition. But understanding the why of it--that's where the philosophers come in handy. Putting your human self--the same human self that is shared by humans from 5,000 years ago--in the context of humanity, of the human community.

(P.S. As a bonus, if you're really itching for philosophy, try out Machiavelli's The Prince as translated by Tim Parks, or for just a little philosophy to start, Rashomon and 17 Other Stories by Akutagawa, esp. "Rashomon" and "In a Bamboo Grove". Another little bit of philosophy can be found in The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov.)

I need to look into this further - because I have set the firewall rules in Cloudflare to block Russia but then Sqreen is still picking up these IPs - I suspect there is some sort of spoofing going on to get through the Cloudflare firewall so I’m not sure how genuinely effective this strategy is...
After analyzing the benchmarks I have a suspition that the apple compiler does some automatic parallelization and issues some instructions on the GPU, since the GPU shares the memory coherency with the CPU. That's why roseta2 performance is slower, as optimizing loops on the binary is harder. If they are not doing that, they should, as it will be something like an AVX512 for the poor energy budget. Just lunching a debate, as the wide decode with long pipeline smels like a Pentium4 crap or a miracle.
They absolutely are, but I think that link demonstrates the difference I was poorly describing quite well actually, the front page was diverse then too - by design - but how many of those links are sharing things at someones expense in the r/trashy sense? Not to put the content of that link on some sort of pedistal, but how many of those links would make it to the frontpage today?

It's a differnet site today than then, but if it were current that type of content is still broadly more interesting to me than the present frontpage. Having a read of some of the comment threads too it's really quite different to today, Sure there were in-jokes but it was more than same tired memes getting voted to the top time after time.
You're selling the land underneath your house, not your house. And you wouldn't have to move: you'd pay some use fee to the new owner (though there'd probably be some kind of option to revaluate after a bid to prevent a whole lot of churn).

Just a correction to point away from want to write. It's 書きたい (kakitai) for want to write (and it's probably not want to buy 買いたい).
It seems to me that people misunderstand how ultimatums work. I guarantee you that you maintain a number of unsaid ultimatums with your employer; for example, one of them may be “pay me or I will quit”. Once an ultimatum reaches the point where it is nonverbal it is difficult to classify as a straightforward resignation or firing, because at that point it is clear that communication has broken down and pressure is being applied from at least one side. Without knowing who the “victim” is here the argument could go either way: “you made me issue an ultimatum”/“you put us in a position where we had to accept your resignation”.
Teach them financial literacy. Upskill them. And encourage girls/women to practice safe sex. Large families without stable jobs/income end up living in the fringes of poverty and will eventually fall without a safety net. Time and again, low rates of literacy and teenage pregnancies and poor household income are correlated.

Why would a government not raise expenditures to the level of its budget? Perhaps to pay off debt, but that's only useful in limited circumstances.

On the other hand, certain parts of the political spectrum are very emphatic about wanting to reduce both budget and expenditures, and sometimes manage to do so.

She directly said stop writing these documents. They are not effective for doing the job. The data shows this. She doesn’t say stop doing your job. In one example she gives job is to increase diversity in gender and lamenting that all of this talking has had no impact yet Samy seems to have done it with no incentive (I’d like more of the backstory on Samy).

The job is to increase diversity and inclusion, not to write documents. Programmers get this in other domains (the job isn’t to write lines of code, but to provide value to customers), but suddenly become naive when it comes to things like this.
