The way you implement a carbon tax is by refunding all of the money to the citizens. The average poor person comes out ahead, because they have less living space requiring less heating and drive a smaller (more efficient) car or take public transit, so they already use less carbon than average and the dividend is more than they pay in tax. Also, some of the tax is paid by corporations but all of the dividend goes to individuals. Nobody starves.

But it causes electric cars that avoid the carbon tax to have a market advantage over gasoline powered cars, so more people buy those. It causes non-carbon power generation methods to have a market advantage, so more people build those. As the infrastructure gets built to replace carbon, the amount of the dividend declines, but only because people are paying less in carbon tax because everyone is burning less carbon.
> I wasn't laughing before but I'm laughing now, because you skipped the part where you pull something from the article and dispute the claim ... let me know when you disagree with a part of the actual article

The claim that most bullying occurs "among peers" is the central claim in the article. That's the claim I'm disputing. I'm not sure why you somehow think this claim isn't made in the article.

For example, the second paragraph in the article states: "“To the extent that this is true, we should expect them to target not vulnerable wallflowers, but their own friends, and friends-of-friends, who are more likely to be their rivals for higher rungs on the social ladder,” said Robert Faris, a UC Davis researcher on bullying and author of the paper “With Friends Like These: Aggression From Amity and Equivalence.”"

The claim is reinforced in the third paragraph of the article: "Faris, a professor of sociology, said friends and associates with close ties to one another likely compete for positions within the same clubs, classrooms, sports and dating subgroups, which heightens the risk of conflict and aggression. This paper is the first known to show that those rivals are often their own friends."

Then the fourth paragraph of the article continues explaining the claim: "This differs from some common theories and definitions of bullying, in which the behavior stems from an imbalance of power and is mainly directed at youths in the lower social strata in school or community environments who possibly have physical, social or psychological vulnerabilities."

...you want me to continue? You want me to literally copypaste the entire article in the comment field and say "this part right here is the where the claim is repeated for the 11th time, and I disagree with this"?

I doubt that a larger school has more bullying per student. In large schools the students tend to subdivide into non-intersecting groups (e.g. nerds, jocks, rednecks, punks, etc). I went to a medium/largish high school and there were kids in my graduating class that I had never met, did not know their name, etc. Kids in these differnt groups largely left each other alone, because they did not compete for the any of the same things. Fights were usually between members of the same group.
Hub airports tend to have large departure banks where all the flights arrive, hold, and depart within a certain time frame, for ease of connections. So this isn’t strictly true.
It's hard to square this comment with the simple fact that property crime is, in the United States, currently much less common than it has been in decades.

For example, household burglary dropped 56% from 1994 to 2011. https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=4657

Theft and motor vehicle theft have had similar major drops (figures 10 and 11): https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/mpcncvs.pdf

This data is from the National Crime Victimization Survey, which directly asks respondents if they have been the victim of a crime, and is not based on police reports or prosecutions.

The same decline has also been seen in violent crime, and is actually one of the major unanswered questions in modern criminology: why has crime declined by about half since 1990? There are many theories (you've probably seen the theories involving lead or pollution exposure) but no definitive answers. But whatever the explanation may be, it does not justify brutal punishment, since (a) crime is declining, not increasing, and (b) I'm not aware of any substantial evidence showing a major deterrent effect of severe prison sentences or even capital punishment.

How is that for some perspective on Apple's security?

Yeah, the central bank only has a hammer (interest rates) but its supposed to do jobs that require screwdrivers. That's why it gets dumber and dumber. At some point you apply so much force on your hammer that it can drive screws. That's the idea behind negative interest rates.

Yes, dividends count as a valid source of income and that’s a reason to own Coca-Cola. However, appreciation of a publicly traded stock is fine too, better even. When a publicly traded stock goes up, you can sell some stock and the money is just as good. Furthermore you’re paying less income tax since it’s capital gains, and you get to decide when to pay taxes on the gains.

This is why stock buybacks are better in some ways than dividends for returning money to shareholders.
.. has everybody forgotten the massive protests over the police killing peope last year? Or that the US already imprisons more people per capita than any other country, including failed states like El Salvador and dictatorships like Turkmenistan?

The solution is not more violence. I suspect the problem is that the police have failed at the basic business of connecting crime to punishment, so they roam neighbourhoods looking for people they deem suspicious and dishing out punishment. So you get injustice and crime.

It's a basic competence issue.

I was listening to a discussion on Clubhouse about censorship and social media, and all I think Facebook and Twitter should not censor anyone, it’s still a private company. They can make the rules. If you don’t like the rules, the answer is not “go make your own social media“ it’s that don’t use the product at all. If you want to use Facebook and Twitter, you’re going to have to submit to their version of what speech is. It’s not right, but that’s the way it is, and it seems disingenuous for someone to say the government should be the one to step in and force a private company to let them use a private service to say whatever they want. I guess I just don’t want the government telling a private company what it can and cannot do, and what speech it must allow or disallow. Ever. That pathway does not have a happy ending regardless of who is in power

I was imagining that it was informed of the number of copies that would be made beforehand . Also, that the different copies couldn’t tell by the results of their choices, whether they were in the original environment or not. So, there is some best strategy in each env, but because they can’t tell which env they are in, they can’t actually have different strategies.

Saying there is no chance involved is like saying that if John rolls a fair 6 sided die under a cup, and you and Jane don’t know the result, and Jane offers to bet you at some odds that the die is showing the number 4, that there is no probability involved because the value of the die has already been determined. Ok, sure, it is already determined in the world, but one should still assign probability 1/6 the the die shows a 4.

What definition of bullying are they using? The article doesn't say. The actual paper [1] sidesteps the issue: "Accordingly, we sidestep the conceptual morass of bullying and focus instead on the broader term of aggression, which refers to behavior with the intent to harm, injure, or cause pain. We focus on several forms of peer aggression, including physical (e.g., hitting, kicking), verbal (e.g., name-calling, threats), and indirect aggression (e.g., spreading rumors, ostracism)."

Bullying used to just mean beating up people physically. That's changed. The US Government site on this says "Social bullying includes: Leaving someone out on purpose."[2] That's overreach. The US has freedom of association as a First Amendment right, and that right is not limited to adults.

The article conflates socially competitive behavior with bullying. So of course they find it as associated with friends or near-friends.

What are the rules of social competition? This is a classic subject. See any of Jane Austen's works.[3] Few people are taught this explicitly. Women used to be taught it in "finishing schools". It was part of the task of Oxford tutors to teach it. "My job is to make you a better bastard".

Right now, there's an anime running which teaches this: Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun.[4] It's also a regular theme in country and western music.

Prices are likely part of it. My electric is $0.098 per kWh, natural gas is less than $0.02 per kWh.

I don't use anywhere near 5000 kWh of electric in a year, but I have several months of high natural gas use for heat, where making the building 2x as efficient would save a few hundred dollars a year (which I'm implying is not a huge incentive; this event in Texas certainly has me planning to reevaluate for easy improvements).

As far as the high usage in the article, one reasonable explanation would be an electric vehicle (but it's not clear that is the case either).
You're describing the deep dissonance I was feeling a decade ago when I first stepped into AI research. I just kind of always assumed that studying AI would necessarily have a strong focus on how biological intelligence works. And boy was I wrong.

Knowing a bit more now, this gap makes some sense:

1. Neuroscience is really, really hard. Even with the unbelievable recent advances, we're still years away from having a clear understanding of the mechanics of learning and memory.

2. The drift between AI and the broader cognitive sciences started in the 70s, seemingly borne out of pragmatism and the difference in goals between engineer types and scientist types.
The parallels between Forth and Lisp seem painfully obvious to me, but I’ve had knowledgeable programmers here tell me I’m hallucinating when I say that. I really need to spend more time with both.
Funny thing, in Texas there is variable pricing and some people had to pay thousands over the five day freeze[1] in addition to rolling blackouts. I experienced neither as my power was out for 3.5 days.

There is a lot of great tech behind Swift and LLVM. I really enjoyed learning a bit (no pun intended) of Rust a few years ago, but it didn't stick for what I need. I really like Swift, but I have only done one SwiftUI app, all the Swift stuff I do is on the command line with swift build/test/run with a light weight editor. Apple's pre-trained deep learning models are very useful, and an edit/build/run iteration is just a second or two.

I wish Rust had been around 30 years ago when I loved doing low level programming. Between my C++ books and gigs, C++ was good financially but Rust is just better (apologies to people who love C++).
Exactly, to think that Bitcoin is the final crypto invention is like thinking MySpace was the final social network.
> I didn't mean celebrity but more like knowledgeable people.

That's my point though. A celebrity like Torvalds will likely get upvoted, but in my experience, non-celebrity knowledgeable commenters often get downvoted by people who are much less knowledgeable.

I don't think any system guarantees betterness. :-) But random seems to be at least pretty fair and least subject to abuse.

> Assuming some part of twitter tweet section is random, does that inspire confidence that such a system might work.

There are different parts of Twitter. The Twitter timeline is definitely not random. It's either reverse chronological or "algorithmic", depending on your settings. But any given tweet can have any number of replies, and I don't know how Twitter determines the order of display of replies to a tweet. But it's overall a very different format from HN, so comparisons are difficult.
Hello HN! This is a static website with a big interactive list of nonfiction books that have been reviewed in Science, Nature, and the LSE Review of Books. I like looking for nonfiction reviews in places such as these to get an idea of how well researched a book is, but going through their old posts is a bit of a pain.

The site is generated using 11ty from a couple of JSON files containing the book data, which I collected with the help of a few Python scripts. I used lozad.js and Isotope for lazy loading and filtering respectively.

I'm not a dev, so please forgive the cludgy code! This is not a product or service of any kind, but simply a hobby project I made in my free time this week. I'd appreciate any feedback you can offer :)

Some things I learned:

- I should try using LESS and SASS as my css file is a bit of a mess.

- 11ty deserves all the hype it gets in the SSG scene. The docs are a bit sparse for a novice like me, but I found a few fantastic third-party tutorials that I didn't know about when I first mucked about with 11ty.

- Install node and npm via nvm if on Linux to avoid permission errors

- Web dev is hard

Some issues I'm aware of:

- Background scrolls when moving the modal (can't figure this out).

- Some tags are misspelled and should be grouped further.

- The book covers are pretty awful quality.

- The site is quite large (~4 MB); I need to learn to integrate minification into the build process.

Edit: List formatting

I think the other practical issue is that a "bubble" can go high enough where a 70% downward correction could still land above where you originally decided to cash out. I made this error back in 2016 thinking that Obama had juiced things for 8+ years and there'd be no way for Trump to keep the party going. And that taught me a hard lesson on the foolishness of trying to time the markets.

The other issue we are dealing with now is also asset inflation, where the number on the screen does not reflect any intrinsic value, but moreso the ongoing devaluing of the dollar we hold in our pockets.

I personally think this whole "modern monetary theory" is a game where the smart folks at the Fed realize that rather than have people watch the number on their savings and 401ks obliterated in a crash, they prefer to keep that number appearing the same and bury the "cost" of the bubble into a deflating dollar. It keeps the masses happy because they see the $s in their savings account still going up, which retains confidence in the system. Who knows when everyone will catch on, but it's been working so far.
You may very well have statistics, but these statistics may very well be false, especially when it comes to including figures that represent quality of life (i.e. how anxious you are on a constant basis with respect to your property or being assaulted).

Yes, home burglaries are usually reported and tracked in data. But, as it says in this very New York Times article, package theft goes completely unreported and is therefore not part of your statistics. Likewise, sexual assaults in subways are only very recently being tracked in New York. Why did you choose, by the way, to assume I was only talking about property crime? The types of crimes not tracked by NYPD is vast, and such crime I have seen escalating year over year.

Stats are stats, but if you live in New York, you notice how 10 years ago people didn't rob Walgreens, and now they rob it all the time practically on an on-going basis. You just take what you need and walk past "security." See some boxes inside a vestibule? They're yours. But it's not just property crime, it's all crime.
If by GCless you mean affine types, the only thing that Rust did was bringing affine types to the masses, which is already an achievement, agreed-

However in the big context of application programming, and how Swift is used on Apple stack, any form of garbage collection alongside memory ownership is much more productive.

Long term adoption for Rust will be places like where MISRA-C and SPARK are used nowadays.

If I have to spray my code with Arc, Rc and RefCell, I rather let the compiler type them for me.

I'm sure Metallica doesn't really care, but it's ironic given that a large part of the mess we're in today (with the large platforms fearing copyrighted works showing up for 1/10th of a second) stems directly from Metallica.

I did however see a video by Tom Scott recently about how the copyright system is broken; and it's not the platforms fault.

Interesting, but complicated. It would be easier to just get your amateur radio license and build out from there. Granted you’re getting a license from the FCC to operate, which might upset certain preppers, but in terms of cost and availability of equipment, the amateur radio route is much more direct and cost-effective.
Please consider adding "in Rust" to the title.
