Respectfully, I think this misses the point a bit.

Roser himself says that there could very well be valid criticisms that Hickel is correct on and he is incorrect on. The criticism that Hickel recently raised and that you mention here (regarding the validity of pre-1981 data) sounds like it could be one of these.

But productive dialogue between them was largely precluded by perceptions of bad faith and aggressive language ("mansplaining", etc) going back to before Allen's paper.

Now, regarding the specific criticism about pre-1981 data, I found this[1] and this[2] which seems to claim that the older data is adjusted for non-market income. Although, I haven't digged into it properly, so I can't comment on who is correct here.

"we want to emphasize is that those estimates of poverty do take into account non-market transactions such as subsistence farming.

[1] https://ourworldindata.org/poverty-home-production-and-consu...

"Yes, over the last two hundred years, there has been a major shift from people farming for their own consumption towards people working for a wage and purchasing goods in the market. But historians know about history and where non-market sources of income make up a substantial part of total income, it is very obvious that money would represent a rather silly indicator of welfare.

Just as we need to adjust for price inflation, accounting for non-market sources of income is an essential part of making meaningful welfare comparisons over time. Estimates of poverty and prosperity account for both market and non-market sources of income, including the value of food grown for own consumption or other goods and services that enriched the lives of households without being sold in a market."

Needing the equity payment from your acquisition, untaxed, to put a down payment down on a house is not what the vast majority of people would think of as desperation.

You're going to get enough tax breaks and subsidy for buying the house anyway.
With corporations paying more for labour, they start looking for cheaper labour costs. They look for jurisdictions where there is a greater supply of labour and lower labour standards. This reduces the negotiating power of labour in regions with higher taxation, resulting in the stagnation or reduction of wages. In turn, this results in lower tax revenues which results in higher taxation or cuts to government spending.

Whether this is good or bad is a matter of perspective. Some people are all for lower government spending (sometimes for justifiable reasons) and labour in the lower tax jurisdictions may benefit. What doesn't change is the balance of power: the wealthy will virtually always benefit it. The people at the bottom have very little autonomy since they have to roll with the punches to simply survive.
I'd love to see that "debunked" evidence, sadly there's more than sattelite imagery, such as survivor's testimonies and on-the-field images. The most incontrovertible evidence is: if there's no genocide, why don't you allow a team of reporters free unmolested access to Xianjing.

Of course, you know this. Why you seek to deny it it's anyone's guess.

Ask HN: What's your preferred approach to answering advice based questions?
It feels like there are two categories of answers - the Strong Opinion and the Nuanced Answer. Which do you prefer?

The Strong Opinion seems to answer directly given only the context of the question. The Nuanced Answer seems to answer indirectly by providing more possible context under which the asker can make a decision. I usually like "Strong Opinions, Loosely Held", however conversation with strangers about advice isn't really the place to loosely hold opinions, people will agree or not. Nuance at depth > 1 isn't an option. Therefore, I personally tend to respond with more nuanced answers, adding either my personal context and experience to a question or asking follow up questions and assuming a variety of answers for which I provide advice. The problem in this case is that agreement or disagreement from the peanut gallery is usually for or against the additional context, rather than the ensuing advice.
Police do not prevent violence. The right wing often touts the reason you need firearms is because the police aren't close enough to save you. The left wing obviously is the who is pushing to defund the police because again the police don't prevent violence. Police in supermajority are about issuing you tickets for having a busted light or making too much noise or driving too fast. Police are 99% about easy summary judgement misdemeanors. They are about revenue generation for the government and social control.
While this was certainly true for C# that was written a decade ago, that is no longer the case with frameworks like .NET Core. Hate it all you want, but no other language does async/await as well as C#. Its ubiquitous in C# unlike all other languages out there. It's surprisingly easy and concise to write but doesn't come with the performance penalty associated with languages like Python. It also runs without any hiccups on Linux now. The only thing that seems to work against it, is it's reputation.

> A lot of growing companies have US taxes that are quite low because they lose money for a long time while they're investing in growth. When they finally become profitable, they're allowed to roll forward those losses (within limits) to offset their profits.

Human beings cannot do the equivalent. Spend the entirety of your 20s making very little money because you are investing in growth and then make $800k as an orthopedic surgeon at age 30, and you’ll pay the top marginal rate. You don’t get to go back and use all the unused 24% bracket income from prior years. You also can’t deduct the interest on the loans you took to finance that growth.

> Your comment sounds like a rationalization from a middle/upper income person.

In most countries that I am aware of, the tax rate becomes essentially flat at, or relatively close to, a median income.

If you tax people on a lower income at that same rate, then that is highly punitive and is likely to put people into poverty.

It's immediately advantageous for governments to set a "progressive" lower tax rate, to avoid paying the cost of resources dealing with poverty.

Aside from this, governments are continuing to tax people up to and approaching median incomes at the highest rate that they can bear.

It's only once you get significantly above median that the tax rate doesn't continue to be punitive - for example, in terms of young people being able to access security of housing.

I'd argue these [existing tax schemes] aren't therefore progressive at all. It's just a different mechanism to provide minimal/essential support to people in poverty.

Not American, but I would argue that his greatest contributions weren’t necessarily in exploring the fundamental laws of physics but in making physics more accessible, easier to understand, and more pleasant to study.

The fact he got his Nobel prize in part thanks to a way of representing interactions between particle is quite telling.

His books, and even more so his BBC interview (have yet to dive into the Physics lectures) completely changed my perspective on science.

I liked it, and wanted to love it, but watching him talk about fire and photosynthesis finally made it all click together.

Those weren’t abstract formulas, or curious and amusing concepts. All of it was deeply tied to everything around me, and somehow managed to make it all much more fascinating. I didn’t know the formulas, or the exact rules, but I got a general understanding of each of these processes and, feeling like a child once again, actually wanted to know more.

It was suddenly so obvious, and yet... why did it take all this time? And why couldn’t anyone else help me realise that earlier?

I certainly could blame the French education system, which isn’t really fond of making itself likeable or giving meaning to what it teaches, but still... it seems much more widespread than that.

So... I wouldn’t be surprised if he is both directly and indirectly responsible for many other physicists actually getting into research and developing this "intuition" that comes with truly understanding.

Edit: Also, his explanation is the first satisfying one I’ve ever gotten to "What is fire?" since I started asking the question over a decade ago.
Where I live and based on what I can find, train is cheaper per km and per personkm that get traveled.

Roads outside of shops is a small minority of all roads, and we are currently undergoing a change in how city planning is handling commercial districts, with movements towards the edges or online.

There are however major problems with train networks, one being that lack of redundancy. With road maintenance you can shutdown a major highway and redirect traffic temporary to smaller roads with significant reduction in speed. With trains you either have the option to go around the maintenance, or you replace the train temporarily with road based travel.

A second big problem with train infrastructure is the lack of an obvious upgrade path. With roads you build a new highway when security, air pollution and noise become too severe for smaller towns around the old road, and the better road also adds higher capacity and faster allowed speeds for transportation. There are so many incentives to upgrade old roads, and with an increasing population it makes traffic heavier for old roads, speeding up demand for better and bigger roads that runs outside the towns.

For rails, there is mostly just an economic argument in favor of building more. The reduction in car travel is not significant enough compared to building a new road outside the limits of the smaller towns.
I don’t see much risk of deflation in that scenario. Falling prices would lead to less production to match. Who is going to keep producing if you can’t make a profit?

If you cross a threshold from 20% to 40%, for every £1000 made over that threshold you pay £400 instead of £200. Sure you are still making more money, but suddenly you don't have that £200 that you could save or invest.
These systems in my country are still used a lot. Go to a store, look behind the counter and you will see Windows 10 with opened only a maximized window of a green/black terminal connected to an AS/400. I've seen it even on store opened this year! And as they tell me programmers are even well paid since more and more retire every year and the young one doesn't know these systems.

I'm not clear why you are blaming SGD. Maybe I missed the point. In principle SDG might well find the global optimal. The problem is this optimal is achieved only for training data. It could certainly perform worse on the test set. Maybe you are referring to the entire training process? The general idea is from the days of SVM's where the optimization method was convex.

Though personally I do find a lot this modern "experimental" research quite hokey. I don't think this is something academics should be getting research funding to pursue. This is engineers building intuition about how to tune their product.

What are the thruput measurements on OpenWRT when compared to ER-.. stock firmware, with hw accel or with DPI..?

I have an ER-4 to be able to use the entire wan connection, but on stock firmware I must disable DPI to enable hw acceleration (otherwise the thruput floors). I don't use DPI atm, so no big loss.

Can you utilize the hw accel in openWRT too?
Exchange to conventional money like USD and Yen. These can be made illegal. USA has precedent for doing this with gold when it threaten their money supply creation ability. If there is no legal ways to convert all these digital coins to fiat currencies, their value will collapse to niche market valuation. It won't disappear completely, just enough to make it small like say total market valuations for baseball or pokemon card collections. Bitcoin technology depends on 1 fundamental flaw that is exponentially increasing demand on energy to hash. Essentially it is inflation of "energy money" to "digital money" for hashing "nothing". The demand is not triggered from population itself but the #1 increasing tech capability, and #2 algorithm itself that double the difficulties of hashing rate. Think of demand of toilet paper, that people need to buy not because they need it but the toilet consume more at a doubling rate whether you poop or not. And then itself become valuable when your neighbor willing to change it for fiat currencies. The moment government make it illegals, the value drop. Black market will exist but then law enforcers specializing to catch "digital exchange criminals" will be established.

That's a good point, and I think that to a varying degree the relevant parties - Max Roser, Steven Pinker, and Noah Smith - all agree with it.

I'm new to this controversy, but after reading these comments for entirely too long it appears in this thread that Hickel is writing numerous scathing articles misrepresenting the views of Max Roser, Steven Pinker, and Noah Smith to make this point. It's unfortunate.
I doubt they'll opensource anything even after exiting the market, which is unfortunate. Millions of devices will stop getting updates in a few years.

That's unnecessary since your sectional (map) has most of that.

It's a really strange argument to make, since pilots are responsible for see and avoid, which means looking out the window, even with an IFR clearance.

Since you're writing basically GPT-3-level nonsense, are you actually a pilot?

Is anyone doing anything akin to a direct drive system for HOTAS force feedback? That would be incredible.

I have TM's Warthog system which is presently collecting dust due to lack of triple screen support (Nvidia Simultaneous Multi-projection or SMP, AMD has nothing) - in my space/flight titles, but hopefully not forever.

It's not anywhere able to convey forces affecting the plane in the way my DD steering wheel system does for driving. The feedback I get there combined with transducers is truly sensational, especially once you've had the time to become attuned. I'm becoming half competent now and it's an amazing thing to be able to do from the home.

Whilst there might be limited stuff to simulate in higher end fbw planes, for anything hydraulic there ought to be some options. I once had a Microsoft FFB joystick but considerable time had passed since.

Because people are people and not math proof generation engines.

Someone worked hard, achieved an intermediate goal that they hoped was going to move them one rung up the economic ladder only to find out that taxes took a much larger bite than they’d hoped or previously considered. So, they’re naturally discouraged to read about some big company somewhere paying a much lower overall rate while comparing it to their own.

Perhaps the real question is why the authors of these articles don’t put everything into terms more directly relatable to the people reading the article? That’s because doing so makes for less outrage-sharing of the article.
The way Asp.net encourages inscrutable code through spooky action-at-a-distance dependency injection patterns is one of the things I actively dislike about working with C#.

The question I'd ask is whether they're up front about it. It's one thing to ask and see whether someone knows how to check if a number is odd or even - for that matter, it's one thing to use it as a programming quiz! Probably better than Fizzbuzz, everybody knows that one anyway. That's fine.

What would not be fine is to just quietly have that attitude and assume without checking that no one who uses Node a lot has any idea how to do basic things without relying on a library. It's not terribly uncommon for people to think that at least here on HN, I suppose, although I have yet to run into it in an interview or an engineering culture. But if your engineering culture is host to such attitudes, it's best for all involved to be open about that. You'll avoid wasting both candidates' time and your own.
We’ve got a similar setup. To add to what you said, PHP scales horizontally remarkably well because there’s naturally no cross-request state, so when you hit a certain point you can just throw another identical server into the mix.

We run autoscaled ec2 instances behind an AWS load balancer and Aurora but manage to keep a pretty simple PHP app serving millions of students a day.

For some of the more CPU intensive work we have a couple Go micro-services in the mix. Go is well worth anyone’s time to learn imho, it’s a very nice mix of powerful and easy to learn.

TypeScript in strict mode also keeps your JavaScript honest which I appreciate.

> Roughly 36,000 traffic fatalities in US each year. ... Why FSD isn't a societal priority is shocking

Full self driving isn't necessarily safe. What you want is full self stopping. Full self stopping has the potential to dramatically reduce road fatalities.

Rudimentary versions of FSS are fitted to many vehicle models (e.g Toyota Camry) already. Edit: such things as autonomous emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert (and reversing auto-brake), blind spot warning and lane change refusal if there is a vehicle in the blindspot, pedestrian avoidance -- all these and more are available today and all are better than nothing when it comes to reducing accidents.
