Meh. Our first world consumption habits are more than adequate to destroy the planet. Just saying mining produces lots of CO2 with current energy generation sources isn't a good enough argument on its own.

Internalize the cost of carbon pollution and let the market price out wasteful usage. Demonizing specific energy usage is a waste of time and mindshare. It's little more than moral masturbation.

White collar crime has always been enabled at the highest levels of governmental authority. The Panama Papers shed some light on the most recent incarnations of this.

Governments are inherently the largest criminal actors, they have a monopoly on the enforcement of law. Corruption is a natural consequence of a world governed by profit. What happened when whistleblowers stepped forward on the true extent of international financial crime? Nothing.

The question is not how a government can hold itself or its citizens accountable for white collar crime, the question is why and how these structures exist.

Look at the money laundering records of the largest banks, their cooperation with organized crime. Look at the slush money and criminal activities of federal law enforcement, military, and intelligence agencies.

The answer is that profit governs our global society and holds the greatest sway in political power structures.

As long as our world is governed in this way, then the world can be looted and plundered without consequence. Money laundering is just a vehicle for legitimizing these activities.
The point is that you start to think how your words could be taken, not just assume people magically know your intent. Yes people should consider your intent as part of how they parse your words, but you are the one talking, it's up to you to do your best to make sure that your communication is clear and as free from the possibility of misunderstanding as possible.

The reality is that there are people out there who say things with the intent to create hate or to hurt people, they then claim that "I was misunderstood". That is not good enough and this law makes that very clear, You are responsible for what you say, if you can't speak without being misunderstood, then maybe you should do everybody a favour and keep your mouth closed.
Why the bitterness? You could blame the politicians just as well for the climate disaster, or the corporations, why the wealthy?[1] What do you know of their family life or love of dogs?

Right, the regression test appeared early (soon after Pwn2Own) and the patch was developed based on that.
The F35 is the result of a very dumb decision to do two big things at the same time in the same vehicle:

1 - build a new multi role airplane (that itself was probably overly complex)

2 - build a new networked electronics infrastructure for the airborne military (Air Force, Navy, & Marines)

Car makers figured out not to do this years ago when they started coming out with a new engine before updating the rest of the car. It minimized the number of changes in any given mode year to a level that was manageable and quality increased.

The military should have taken that route and developed these two separately.
Your bulldozer would need to have a chip installed that can connect to Ethereum and read off who the current authorized operator is. The operator and the owner would have to have cards that contain keys that speak a protocol that the bulldozer understands. Once the loan time runs out, the bulldozer locks out the renter.

The GP is describing a system kind of like Zipcar - you go online, you enter payment, and Zipcar allows your card to operate a car for a period of time. So, you might say, so what, we already have a Zipcar, why replace it with the blockchain?

Because if Zipcar goes out of business, all the cards and hardware on Zipcar cars are defunct. If all the hardware talks to contracts on Ethereum, there's no Zipcar to go out of business - you buy the hardware once, but the operation of the system happens on Ethereum, not in Zipcars' SQL database.

Everything doesn't run on AWS. In Europe where a company might only sell to one country, like Sweden where I live for example many won't see the traffic required to scale beyond a single box, those same smaller companies might also not want to pay with their kidneys to host that one VM. Cloudflare is making this possible, so for smaller businesses and sites one could argue that Cloudflare is the real monopoly (entirely different markets).

Now companies like Shopify is enabling people to run a shop without any ops for peanuts.

Or smaller SMB it environments, we run a small datacenter at my company running VMware software to run our customers domain controllers, erps, fileservers and such, though this is decreasing, we used to run Exchange too, but migrated every customer to Office365 because it's cheaper than on-premise licensing, and we have 0 ops. The fact that we're local means we can offer dark fibre to many customer sites, giving them 0ms latency to us, making even the chattiest shit system run like things were on their premises. I guess we're "computing at edge" :p

Not saying you're wrong that AWS is a cloud monopoly, but everyone isn't purchasing in the cloud market (the majority of the worlds money doesn't flow through startups going global). And there's also Azure which is growing at an incredible rate challenging AWS at migrating legacy workloads to the cloud.

Oh, that's completely unnecessary. When I said, "Don't know what you're getting at," I was hoping that the commenter understood something that I didn't.

This is a good illustration of why the guidelines are there in the first place. Comment #1 was the weaker argument, comment #2 was the stronger comment. If you have a discussion with someone, you can get from comment #1 to #2 and beyond.

Telling me that if I had written comment #2 first is... not helpful! Because the process of writing comment #2 involved reading replies to comment #1!
Overvalued, maybe. But comparing last year production of cars is in my opinion a bad metrics to compare Tesla to other automakers.

First Tesla is growing fast so that $50k will drastically go down in the coming years.

Tesla is more vertically integrated so you have to include the valuation of all the dealerships, parts of their suppliers, the charging network, ...

And third there are the “other” businesses like the battery storage, solar roofs, software revenue, ...

So overall the numbers of cars produced is probably too simplistic to compare them.
It's not a loan because you're not getting use of something before you've paid for it. You're paying for something as you use it, and getting a discount because you agreed you'd use it for a year.

You have to pay back the discount if you end up not using it for a year, as it should be.

I think I didn't make my point quite clear. Let's consider the case where version 3.1 needs to return something different than version 3.

A good (IMHO) early-return pattern would look like this:

if (version >= 3.1) {
return "result_3_1";
}

if (version >= 3) {
return "result_3";
}

// ...

...but in the wild I often see it developed into something like this:

if (version >= 3) {
if (version === 3.1) {
return "result_3_1";
}
return "result_3";
}

// ...

...probably because people like to see major version numbers packaged together in blocks.

With the switch-true on the other hand I could make good use of this 'stepping through ranges'-problem and could even make use of the fallthrough, in case it should fall back to a different value:

switch (true) {
case version >= 3.1:
return "result_3_1"; // just comment this out if you need the result of version 3 instead
case version >= 3:
return "result_3";
// ...
}
Well I have — haven't owned INTC for a long time and don’t own much Intel hardware now either.

More to the point: I would like Intel to succeed but they face long odds. Looking at localized data like top line revenue ignores secular shifts that have been moving against them, and to which they have so far been demonstrably unable to respond.

Looking at just the top line is like deciding how your journey is doing based on your current speed. It’s an input but tells you almost nothing on its own.
I think white collar criminals should be punished with prison time, but in the end how would it look - I guess the criminal sentences would have about the same deterrent effect as harder sentencing has on violent crime, drugs, burglary or whatever else. People would commit the crimes hoping not to get caught.
Exactly. Why do you think it's lower for option 1?

Yearly commitment. Longer term commitments give you benefits in a lot of places and have checks in place to prevent people from gaming the system. Not very hard to understand.
I don't think anyone is suggesting problems can be solved with money alone. What's very obvious is that a capable person without resources will struggle while a much less capable person who has the safety net of a wealthy background can still be successful. No one is suggesting it's guaranteed though.
Or possibly not. I'm reminded of Sarah Flannery's idea that matrix multiplication might be a good one-way function for crypto. Turned out that in that context, there was a cheap inversion that wasn't immediately obvious. Her memoir/math book about this (and learning mathematical cryptography) co-written with her father is a good introduction to a lot of mathematical cryptography ideas: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565123778/donhosek

But what about for esoteric subjects, or unresolved questions like whether Assad gassed his own people? Or tripling elephants from Colbert?

That's the classic "you shouldn't give money to poor people, they are just going to spend it on alcohol, drugs etc." argument.

> If 90% of the population had a (sustainable) lifestyle of current dollar millionaires, and the remaining 10% had a (sustainable) lifestyle of dollar billionaires, there would be lots of inequality, but it wouldn't be problematic.

You are looking at this from a world where that isn’t the case. Money would be worth less in that scenario, and that 10% owns 99% of the wealth, which is still going to cause problems.
The creation and adoption of new technology has created a lot of new wealth. This has increased inequality just as it has done in the past. This creates power disparity and envy.

The creation and adoption of new technology has decreased the wealth of people obsoleted by new technology. Additionally, our system has grown many oligopolies including healthcare, education, utilities, etc... that increasingly leech off the system.

Poverty not only makes it harder to become wealthy but can also be debilitating. Some poverty has been alleviated by the social system but poverty's effect is lives long.

It is possible to retrain people who have been obsoleted by technology but in many cases people will end up with a lower pay than before.

I don't trust either side (this writer or Paul Graham) to come up with good solutions because both are partisan. The wealth redistributors focus on redistribution but actually cause wealth to be destroyed since they disincentize the creation of wealth for all. The other side does not spend enough energy on eliminating misery and dysfunction.

Ask HN: What's your willingness to pay for climate change?
I often hear people say that they would like politicians to do more against climate change. As the next question, I ask them: "what's your individual willingness to pay for that problem" (on a monthly basis). This question often hits them hard and the typical first objection is: "if it's only me, I am not willing to do this." That's a fair point and exactly the kind of problem that kickstarter was made for.

So, then I am asking them: "how much would you be willing to spend per month as a climate change subscription if 1,000 or 100,000 or even 10,000,000 million people would join you and the subscription only starts if enough people joined".

Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

PS: For now, let's not focus on how we spend the money. There are enough potential alternatives and we can figure out the best allocation after we solved the initial funding problem. In the end, this is more about starting a movement where politicians and other decision makers can see that there is a large and growing number of people who are willing to spend their hard-earned money on that problem! This is very different from just lip-service because it's easy to say "I would like the climate to change" but then not put your money where your mouth is.
Indeed. But they are not the company supposed to make money of that project. They start to dominate several markets by cross financing and therefore need to be broken up.
Inversible hash functions (such as murmur) are only related to cryptographically strong hash functions in that they share the words "hash function".
I'm in the camp of "this seems fair", though with the caveat that I would prefer it if they only charged you the total discount you received.

e.g. if monthly is $10 and yearly/m is $8, and I decide to cancel after only 7 months, Adobe should just charge me $14 ($2*7).

I actually want to move away from celebrity culture and privately owned platforms, means of distribution, and audiences, and towards platforms based on collaboration, where people have to duke it out and address all serious arguments before the public sees it.

I did plenty of drugs too and am doing just fine as well. Not a million or billionaire, but that is a pretty tough standard to meet.

That being said, only drugs I ever did were weed, acid, shrooms, MDMA, and trying the odd pharmaceutical. Never any opoids of any sort, never meth etc.

And in terms of broad advice, I think not doing drugs is still a fairly consistent rule for good outcomes.
