Ooh, since this I've had another thought - instead of open/closed networks, 'just' have a third option for how to share a notification - "my approved list" or "people who follow me and I follow back" or something along those lines, just less awkward wording.

I reject the idea that humans should make mosquitos extinct; they are a key part of the food chain.

If that's not a good enough reason, I have a dumb hypothesis that mosquitos have played a part in evolution for millions of years, based on the premise that they spread viruses/retroviruses and retroviruses are capable of modifying DNA. They also spread other diseases which may cause certain genetic lines to survive over others. This hypothesis could be complete junk, but who is going to be able to run a scientific experiment that would take 10,000 years or more?

The food chain reason is immediately obvious, but is anyone considering the impact over massive timescales?

> we spend way too much time reading text that isn't really saying anything, and/or failing to find meaning in what we read

Absolutely. It helps make clear that the function of words isn't always what we think. It's the sort of window into the machinery of the mind that helps us reverse-engineer what's really going on.

It reminds me of the Oliver Sacks essay "The President's Speech", which Wikipedia describes as being "about a ward of aphasiacs [people who have lost the ability to understand words] and agnosiacs [here, people who understand only the words, as if reading a transcript] listening to a speech given by an unnamed actor-president, 'the old charmer', presumably Ronald Reagan. Many in the first group laughed at the speech, despite their inability to follow the words, and Sacks claims their laughter to be at the president's facial expressions and tone, which they find 'not genuine'. One woman in the latter group criticizes the structure of the president's sentences, stating that he 'does not speak good prose'."

Glibness has a purpose, but it's not really about conveying information. It's for something else.
No, negative value. LinkedIn is a huge privacy concern and I don't really understand why more people are not bothered by it. If I know your name I can find out where you live, your current employer and position, your job history and a bunch of your employees at a minimum. I don't use social media, but on FB this level of data was not often exposed publicly and could be limited to friends by updating your privacy settings.

In an era where almost anything you say and do that someone doesn't like can be a fireable offence I have no idea why someone would publicly expose so much sensitive data about themselves to strangers online. I've had a couple of people cyber-stalk me through LinkedIn in the past. Nothing serious, but in both cases these were people I was not close with an did not want to expose much information to who revealed themselves to know far more about me than I was comfortable with. When I asked how they knew so much about me, both times they said they looked me up on LinkedIn. I'd be lying if I said I never did it myself, but it's kinda weird and I don't think it would be the norm.

Ask HN: Ideal US Tax Structure
It seems like half the HN community believes that any tax increase at all will destroy the economy and turn the United States into a post apocalyptic hellscape and the other half believe that any tax reduction will result in decentralized-robo-feudalism.

There also seems to be disagreement on where taxes should come from (VAT/capital gains/ wealth/income/spending/land/etc)

Obviously this is to big a topic for a forum post but in broad strokes I'd love to hear the pros and cons of different systems.

So how would you structure the US tax system?

Speak for yourself - I use more ink for art than writing :)

Realistically, though, this still happens when writing. The thinner ink puts out a thin layer of ink when you write: The gel ink builds up a little bit. You can make little lines in a pool of gel ink in ways you can't do with a regular ink pen. Different ink moves differently, even when it is in a pen.

I'm from France and it was relatively easy to boycott Amazon for a lot of things, even after years of being a big prime user. I agree there are no good direct replacements, for me the solution was different consumption altogether (going to local food markets for food, buying less crap, going to specialized physical or web shops for board games, books, music, electronics, even if it means paying a little more it's great for socializing, etc...). Buying on Amazon is highly correlated with buying plastic from China for me, so it's a double or triple win. But yeah I still go to Amazon for tech.

Yes, but the answer that it is a massive organization does not satisfy my curiosity regarding what they are actually doing.

Hm, or would they? It would make a pretty big dent in the total amount of persons in that field in our country.
CV Partner | Senior or Lead Software Engineer | Oslo, London, Stockholm, Copenhagen | REMOTE (full or part-time in Norway, UK, Sweden or Denmark)

CV Partner is the leading SaaS tool for any company that provides CVs when bidding for work or responding to RFPs (think consultancies, professional services, lawyers, architects etc).

Since its inception in 2012 the main codebase has been a Rails app that’s become large and unwieldy. Over the last few years we’ve found the limitations of the system and have started to move to a microservice architecture based around event-sourcing and CQRS.

Along with the event-sourcing platform we’re also building new REST and GraphQL APIs to drive the React-based frontend and provide easier integration for our customers.

As a senior engineer you will help us build out our platform and develop functionality in new microservices. We’re fairly open to which technologies are chosen and have a variety running in production (including Ruby, Rails, Rust, TypeScript, JavaScript, Clojure, React and Vue) so you should be comfortable picking up new languages and frameworks quickly.

We have been writing more and more new code in Rust due to the language features and compile-time guarantees it provides.

We're looking for:
Experienced developer with knowledge of multiple languages and frameworks (some Ruby or Rust would be beneficial)
Comfortable with full-stack, whole-lifecycle development
Full or part-time remote from Norway, UK, Sweden or Denmark or work from one of our offices in Oslo, London, Stockholm or Copenhagen

Make a big difference in a small, profitable, non VC-backed SaaS company

> I’m not absolving Amazon here but this article contains nothing damning.

Pointing out a company that plays by the government’s rules and minimizes tax obligations is a reliable mechanism to get people emotional and result in clicks.

It is funny to me, though, on a forum with otherwise “knowledgeable” or “discerning” people, that finance topics invite a considerable portion of forum members to disregard their skepticism and join in emotional manipulation of the article.

As opposed to learning what the causes for low tax liability are, discussing if it’s reasonable policy, and what changes to tax law need to be made, it’s just a bunch of comments screaming “tax evasion”.

You're right. We should reduce consumption, the global population, and do quite a few radical changes to our culture _IF_ the end goal is to minimize ecological damage.

Thing is, most people are less concerned with the environment and more concerned about things like accumulation of wealth, social status, and in many places even things like clean water, access to healthcare and food on the table. If you want to convince all those people to prioritize the environment over everything else, then you better have some kind of magical way of convincing people to listen and act here and now. "Bad stuff will happen in X years" simply isn't relevant enough for people to care.

If you don't have one, then all we can hope for is to limit the damage in a way that is acceptable to as many as possible, and hope that's enough.

Author here. No offence taken at all, everyone is comfortable with their particular stack and it should be allowed to choose it. In my past I have suffered some employer that forced me to use a particular stack and I hated it. I just didn't feel at home.

The main point I wanted to express is that we are (more and more) forced to choose some evil that we MUST accept because there are no alternatives or because alternatives are even worse. And this is sad.
The UK at least tried to impose taxes and the US threatened us with sanctions. I am not aware of the exact details but its clear there is some will to change it but there is a lot of strong opposition to it as well.
The Mess We're in (Joe Armstrong, 2014)
> But is it good writing? No, not really.

agree. I'd say it's impossible to solve. Where would we even place our yardsticks:

Has society been able to get any better (than we used to) at assessing and categorizing what "constitutes" great writing? If so in what relation could that be measured to our past performance especially that many no longer read today due to our loss of attention span? (most won't even read this comment because it's way too long).

People are terrible at spotting some of the best writing when it happens. History is full of writers who's work could only be understood and appreciated after their death.[1] Death makes their work a finite commodity. There is no more chance asking the author "what they meant". Others get shunned because they were too radical, (or too ahead of their times).

Great writers as in "a radical new style" or as "for their radical ideas" get only credited after decades (if not centuries) post mortem. When it's too upsetting (because it's true) we need the distance of history and later generations to appreciate it[2].

Even "what" we comprehend and then appreciate changes over time, and within the same person with every time we read it[3].

[1] 6 people centuries ahead of their time https://www.oxford-royale.com/articles/6-people-centuries-ah... <- there are hundreds of wrtiers like this (it is just the top result google gave me). How would an AI spot it when all AI was created "in our image". And if it did spot it how would the AI be able to convince us that this is worth a closer look instead that we need to destroy the AI?

[2] The Last Messiah by Peter Wessel Zapffe https://philosophynow.org/issues/45/The_Last_Messiah <- say something mediocre to ensure you get published and ranked in "best new books". But saying something profound can potentially get you ignored (at best) and killed (at worst). This ties back to[1]

[3] James Joyce Dubliners https://archive.org/details/dubliners00joycrich / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubliners <- there are hundreds of examples like Dubliners but they are all different books depending on who reads them and when. the retrospect and integrating what we read (and then re-read over and over at various stages of our lives) into our own reality is what is makes it great. yet even if some minority of people does practice this, it's still highly subjective. how would an AI provide us with value (e.g. if it can the value it creates would only benefit itself but never others)

__

I'm not saying AI is incapable of better writing than AI is now, but it would only remain mediocre and never outperform humans. Also the writing can't stand or be judged by itself. It can only be valued and appreciated through human mind. Art (and many books are art) has the same problematic relationship with AI. John Berger's "Ways of seeing" talks about this (but so does a lot of philosophy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pDE4VX_9Kk

This is just my two cents, but if you break it down into two components - frequency response and latency - then it's easier to imagine. With the latest modelling techniques (neural nets etc) it's possible for solid state amps to get very, very close to the frequency response of pretty much any tube amplifier in my experience. Expensive modelling amps and plugins are really nice.
The second issue though is latency - when players say it "feels" different playing through a tube amp, my hypothesis is that they are noticing the latency (or lack thereof). Any kind of digital processing is going to impose some kind of delay compared with a tube amp which is a direct electrical signal. I'm aware that the delay will be on the order of milliseconds (sound travels roughly 1 foot per ms through air) and the effect could be replicated by moving the amp further away etc. It would also help to explain the change in sympathetic vibrations within the instrument. Shorter delays and high SPLs could have a non-trivial effect on the resonance of the guitar body for example.
I had heard about that in passing. I didn't realize it was actually a team of AIs, that is more interesting than I thought!

What I did hear was that the AI was very sensitive to whether it gets its pick or not.

They need to operate AWS in Europe in order for AWS to be competetive - you can't run a cloud just in the US. It could be unprofitable indefinitely, but so long as the US business makes enough to cover the losses, it's fine.

As for retail - generally their retail segments start out unprofitable but eventually turn a profit. Amazon is in it for the super-long game, they didn't make an overall profit for 20 years and Bezos is against paying dividends to investors when the money could be reinvested.

Yet there is no discussion of the system, only mindless finger pointing at Amazon. It would be more productive to discuss the changes that should be made to tax laws.
I think that people who automatically frame every disagreement into a narrative of “two extremist parties making false dichotomies out of every topic” are profoundly confused. Specifically in issues that are actionable (as most issues are, as this one is), there is a true dichotomy with relevance to action: you either do something, or you don’t. There is simply no middle ground.

What’s so extreme about disagreeing with releasing genetically modified organisms into the wild? Even if a person believed that some combination of both options should be done instead, that person would still, by the end of the day, decide to disagree with releasing genetically modified mosquitoes in the wild as it is currently being done precisely because it is not how they believe it should be done. The extremists-fighting-over-false-dichotomies narrative is honestly so tired and lazy, IMO.
If you think getting rid of invasive species is good, then you should have no problem getting rid of this invasive mosquito species.
Great app! If you want to keep distributing it, you'll have to find a less "Bose-sounding" name. I am not a lawyer, but as far as I can tell: a) they can't prevent you from implementing a reverse-engineered protocol, b) they can take legal action against you for trademark infringement / damages.
That makes no difference: while I am not a layer and you absolutely should contact your lawyer before doing something like this to get your ducks in a row (and generally you would thereby be a fool to use what I say as "legal advice"), the relevant fair use here comes from legal precedent and even explicit exemptions required to ensure "software interoperability", not some concept surrounding "non-commercial use" (which I think is highly unlikely to protect you in almost any situation).
You don't need hate to be built up. You just need to provide effective solutions. Or at least some kind of solutions, so it can be discussed. What you're doing now is just saying "Amazon bad". That won't solve anything.
Not necessarily, it depends on their strategy for the future.
