> Sure if you classify all deep thought as philosophy then any argument against philosophy that is deep is in itself philosophy. It’s just meta games with words no point in bringing it up.

I did not classify all deep thought as philosophy but a very specific subset of thought: answers on questions of the form „What do we mean when we talk about X?“. Reflections on our own concepts if you will. The point of bringing it up is that as far as I can see you are taking a self-contradictory position.

I agree that you can answer the question „What do we mean when we talk about X?“ with a definition. That is one way of understanding the question. Yet we judge definitions to be inappropriate when it doesn’t capture what we _actually_ mean when we talk about X (just as your rhetorical question suggests that defining Wikipedia to be a „philosophy web site“ is inappropriate). So there is obviously a second meaning to the question „What do we mean when we talk about X?“, one that is not asking for a definition of X but for our concept of X on which we judge definitions to be appropriate or inappropriate. It is this latter sense in which I consider philosophy to be concerned with that question.
You would not be wrong if that was the first year. But it follows a multiple years long trend. The only reason the population of California kept increasing was because births were offsetting the net lost of migration until 2018.

Personally, and this is just me, I stopped reading this article the second the author said that the comic was too inappropriate for their child and that it could deserve an R-rating for how snowmen are treated. That might be the single most ridiculous thing I've ever read in my life.

I don't know what they were going to go on to say, and the fact that they were writing an article about this in the paper implies that they're clearly a big fan of the comic, but I just couldn't read past that sentence.

> it’s not PTSD what they suffer from for there was no trauma. It’s shame, guilt and disgust.

Given PTSD manifests in people who have never killed and is not restricted to soldiers (e.g. victims of sexual assault and traffic accidents [1]), this claim is unsubstantiated.

> we held Saladin in the highest esteem for the way he conducted himself in war

You’re transporting values from a zero-growth world, where war was practically the only route to advancement, to a positive-growth one. War was honourable when it was necessary. It is no longer necessary. The era of celebrating our enemies has long passed. (That is why everything is now framed in terms of defense.)

If the issue is cutting CO2 with a power generating solution that’s highly, highly reliable, renewables like solar+wind have an uphill battle to fight. Their load factor is abysmally low, and storage tech at scale just isn’t here to sustain daily demand for 72 hrs. Supplementing with hydro instead of gas/coal to pick up the slack probably implies some massive “three-gorges” style damming projects. How feasible that is varies by region. What do you think about the feasibility of building that much hydro capacity in a way that can sustain Europe’s daily need for three days running? If you had that, why even bother with solar+wind except maybe as localized off-grid solutions? Somewhere out there is also a question of hardening generating capacity against kinetic attack, but that’s a whole separate thing. I only think of it because dams seem pretty vulnerable, especially massive ones.
>I am not saying that inflation or interest rate rises are impossible in the future but I am suggesting that those who suggesting these are anything but very temporary phenomenon have to explain why the trends of many decades are going to reversed now and for what reason.

Because the neoliberal economic model that includes a stratified scarcity principle (keeping wages as low as possible so consumer demand keeps prices down) isn't built for a sustained global economic downturn.

The very fact that the Biden administration harpooned the very minimum wage increase that they advocated for in the campaign should indicate to everyone just how seriously they are taking inflation.

Right. I think it's a good explanation.

I am very hopeful about Ethereum 2.0. But as the article says, it seems that if it really starts to have high transaction rates that make it compete as real money or even see things like distributed autonomous organizations take off, governments will probably protect their turf.

Here are a couple of fantasy scenarios. First, maybe government will just not be able to effectively ban Ethereum, despite trying. And a new era of decentralization and effective and fair international cooperation flourishes.

Or two, maybe instead of WWIII, countries decide to work together to create a new international system, based on a shared currency built on Ethereum and tied to a comprehensive decentralized resource tracking system (possibly bringing in other distributed protocols). Designed to ensure food, housing, sustainability, and security security for the global populace and cut back on runaway inequality. It will be a new type of economics, more sophisticated and based on sustainable practices rather than infinite growth.

Well I did say they were fantasies.
> you have the philosophy of animism sitting side by side with metaphysics as if there’s some meta category that encapsulates the two.

Sorry, what are you referring to? Where do these things sit side by side?

> Yeah I can meta the entire universe together

Metaphysics is very specifically about the underlying assumptions of physics. It always has been, even though the meaning of the word physics has changed wildly over time. The current meaning of "physics" dictates that it is a metaphysical question whether, for example, quantum theory or string theory are correct. This is metaphysical because it is about underlying assumptions which cannot yet be tested experimentally.

You seem to be taking anyone who uses the word "metaphysics" as actually doing metaphysics, but no professional physicist or philosopher believes this. Some people may well call themselves "physicists" and then talk about ghosts, but it is nonetheless widely understood in the profession that physics is in no way about ghosts. This is similarly true of metaphysics and animism.

When we speak of historical beliefs that are no longer current in civilization, then sure, animism might show up and be presented as "metaphysical", but so what? Newton was wrong about corpuscles being the fundamental unit of matter, but that doesn't mean he wasn't doing physics. It just means he was wrong about part of his system of thought, which is always to be expected when looking at past thinkers.

Einstein explained gravity without action at a distance with general relativity theory. I wonder what would Newton thought about that one since about his own theory he said "so great an Absurdity, that I believe no Man who has in philosophical matters a competent Faculty of thinking, can ever fall into it.". So this action at a distance was solved but certainly not in the way that could revive mechanical philosophy.

Edit: There were a lot of mechanical explanations of gravity in 2 centuries between Newton and Einstein. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_explanations_of_gra...

In my experience, being a salaried employee doesn't really give you skin in the game at all. It's often illusory, as owning a sliver of equity or profit sharing translates to practically no upside or downside. Salaried employees and contracts are equally likely (or unlikely) to be invested in the success of the company. Misusing contractors or mismanaging salaried employees is a failure of management, and ultimately a failure of ownership. Garbage at the top, garbage at the bottom.

Not sure if the OP is in this situation but workers on work visas are often held captive in such situations and is nearly impossible for them to escape. I know a guy who had to go back to India, he could not take it any longer.

Are you sure you never spread information that isn't true? Really, really sure? I'd say with high confidence you have false beliefs you unknowingly pass on. I know I have in the past and assume I still do.

People continue to pass on the whole "frog in a slowly boiling pot" anecdote over and over again even though there is no truth to it. It's simple common knowledge no one has thought to question.

Well stated. The only part you are missing is that taxes on the rich dont stay there. Income tax was sold as a tax on the wealthy as well. As government spending swells to fill the new revenue it becomes necessary to tax more to continue peddling programs that keep politicians in power.

Unpopular opinion: I am not sure if I come to the the same conclusion (that Twitter is user-hostile). Even if you see "complaint after complaint". It could be actually true that the complaint ratio is going down, because the # of users or engagement is actually growing. I am not saying I know the rate, but I don't think we can rule that possibility out.

As a thought exercise, if you assume there is 1% chance of someone complaining about something that went wrong with their account. And there is a billion users using that service. You will have to have a super high accuracy to not end up in a world where there isn't a dozen+ people being affected each month. I believe that Twitter (and other services) actually do try very hard to avoid this, but it is a very hard problem.

To this, some HN users believe that they just should have say 100k+ humans moderating everything, but it is very hard to have 100K humans consistently moderate and not introduce biases.
> I for one think it's great that people are willing to make things a little more accessible for more people.

This doesn't achieve that. It very clearly does nothing.

Human beings as basic pattern matching engines have been hacked by things like twitter to amplify beyond reasonableness many concepts and ideas which they are shown as related and then regurgitate and spread.

Whilst this in particular may not be "important" it is certainly but one minor example of a very serious trend that is demonstrating a very low latency mechanism at play for creating fast paced change in western society that undermines the strengths of slow change that made it so successful.

Now you might be the kind of person who might have a desire to see those fundamentals undermined under a guise of faux altruistic reasonableness, I don't know, but the overly simplistic acceptance of it indicates an avoidance of any of the reasons why people might be resistant to it. Thus why i question your motivations here.

There are tax related benefits to taking a loan (in fiat currency) using your cryptocurrency as collateral. You may also be betting that your cryptocurrency goes up in value at a higher rate than the interest you're paying on your loan. So if you'll end up paying less interest than the amount of taxes you'd pay by selling and the amount of appreciation you'd be missing out on, then the loan makes sense financially.

Most companies that do this take custody over your collateral, and often times lend it out (pocketing some or all of the interest earned). This is called rehypothication, and is very risky. I do know that Unchained Capital is one company that let's you take a loan using your bitcoin as collateral without giving them custody of your coins nor rehypothicating them. You have a 2 of 2 multisig wallet where you hold one key and they hold one key.

Bitcoin happens to be a handy money sink. Governments did nothing to deter the real estate bubble because it helped/helps to sink excess liquidity.

Salute for long term thinking there; but what about the shorter term? If we straightened the earth's axis could we eliminate winter and condemn the dwellers of the bereft nightlands to eternal cold; and gain a lack of winter for those of us with sense to live where the water is liquid?

I'd love to do it but the planet as a unit is too squishy to apply that much energy to it. I'd like this to happen before next winter; but apparently it'll take centuries if we add the "and dont kill all life on the planet" as a requirment.
