There are two ways to solve this "problem" (if you consider it to be one). Either cut the benefits, or raise the minimum wage (or pay above minimum wage).

Personally, I'd rather have people dicking around, hunting and playing video games and having fun, rather than working at a soul-sucking mimimum-wage job and still be on the state's teat (getting food stamps) because the minimim wage is too low.
He did not "refused to acknowledge racism as a concept could exist in companies", he said "We don't live in a white supremacist culture."

Consider the phrase "We live in a democracy culture":
You can practically assume that everyone the conversation believes democracy is the correct way to govern, and NOT believing that would be considered very far outside of the overton window. Even as Democrats and Republicans fight over voter ID laws, both sides claim their view is more true to democracy.

So similarly, while racism exists, we do not live in a culture where it is the norm to openly state that "White people are superior." Yes, white nationalism exist and it is a nasty idealogy, but the fact that they have to airbrush their ideology in "ethnostatism" is a sign that openly expressing white supremacy is an unmarketable idea.

This is what I take the phrase "We don't live in a white supremacist culture" to mean. It is a very different claim from "racism doesn't exist". However, I think a more empathetic thing to say would be something along the lines of "White supremacy doesn't define our culture. We live in a nation where this ideology is openly condemned by the vast majority people on the left, center, and right. However, that doesn't mean it is completely absent, especially in our past, whose effects still linger on today."

First, we don’t know the specifics of that original agreement. Further, they can change the pricing to dramatically reduce the value. I personally know someone who effectively lost control of their company and with it any real equity in a company that’s now very very large, and I’ve seen it be attempted with another friend as well.

When I worked on a semi-similar problem (a realtime-ish feed with lots of numbers), we found that it was better to just eat the extra RAM costs.

Once you have variable width values, it gets much more expensive to answer questions like "Here's a file with every stock price, we know that Berkshire is the 1,000th one in the list, what is their current price?" Instead of being able to jump straight to the relevant bytes, you end up needing to parse (potentially) the entire file. Even with better CPU support for variable integer sizes, you're still essentially turning an O(1) operation into one that is O(N)

Wow, I came here to say that this was possibly Paul's best essay ever. There is so much to learn here. Completely surprised by the negative comments and so many of them :). Specially on an essay that is essentially asking to not being critical right away.

In my short startup life, I have had the opportunity of meet many founders, VCs and also get solicited and unsolicited opinions from friends and family. Most of the VCs, friends and family members were critical of my ideas or simply didn't spend the effort to really listen. I see the same thing happening to other founders and startups. Specially fun is meeting VCs who have never built a startup themselves or coming from a non technical background be overly critical and share their strongly held opinions on how my startup could fail. I ran out of fingers counting how many ways.

Ofcourse a startup can fail. Thats why it's not a company yet. There is a saying that it takes many miracles to make a startup a success. Most founders know that already. We are already scared.

Paul is suggesting a different approach. A more positive one. And given the statistics around Paul's and YC's success versus other VCs, you would think that the HN crowd of all people would at-least pay attention.

P.S: My startup was rejected multiple times by YC. So not a fan exactly.

Yes I agree.

My point was more about companies embedding Javascript on their sites and "did not know they were sharing data".

Sadly European data protection agencies are vastly understaffed. I've filed some complaints, and have been waiting for an answer for them for years in some cases. I regularily get letters sent from agencies which say "we're still on it, but it takes more time".

One complaint was about an UK company ("Boden") filed with the Berlin data protection agency. Then they transfered it to the UK, then back to Berlin, it currently is in the Netherlands.

>Despite the vaccine not being available to many people in the UK (people aged 16-40) that a greater percentage of adults in the UK have received at least one dose.

Most countries have prioritizing giving one dose to as many as possible first and delaying the second dose, believing that doing so is preferable to prioritizing second doses when the goal is the most widespread (as opposed to optimal per person) immunity possible. The US hasn't had to do this because it bought enough vaccines last year for every American from each of the countries working on a vaccine, leading to the current luxury of being able to schedule second does at the recommended interval. The UK is in better shape than the EU or Canada but does not have as much as the US, leading to its strategy.

>Some of that can be attributed to lower rates of vaccine hesitancy

Vaccine hesitancy in the UK is unusually low, I agree, based on the YouGov data I've seen, but overall anti-vaccine sentiment is higher in Europe than in the US. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshuacohen/2021/03/08/covid-19...

>but some of it is surely related to the NHS being better at outreach than the fragmented healthcare system in the US.

There is no evidence of this. In the US, it is impossible to go anywhere without hearing or seeing vaccine offers. In addition to government- and hospital-run mass vaccination sites, every chain pharmacy offers vaccination at every location including Walgreens. Meanwhile, Walgreens' UK affiliate Boots only offers vaccination at 17 locations (https://www.boots.com/health-pharmacy/covid-19-information-p...). Superdrug offers it at a handful of locations as well. (https://www.superdrug.com/corona-update/faq)

If we go to the considerable length of sending actual human researchers to Mars, we shouldn't cheap out on equipment: mass-spectroscopes, microscopes, electron microscopes, ... you name it. That would give us lots of opportunity to examine samples and compare that to what we know from Earth.

That's assuming that we are not contrained by mass or volume on the mission which seems reasonable with a SpaceX Starship-style mission because if we were then we shouldn't be sending humans at all imo.
Often, functions call trait methods internally and const traits aren't ready for prime time yet iirc.

It's about storing T pieces to allow B2B TSD to be performed safely, without the threat of 5-10 lines of garbage coming your way. In general, I fall on the side of those who like it because it opens the game to more variation in strategies. Removing hold would also be a buff to strategies that aren't particularly fun to play against like 4-wide.
I'm not sure I buy that. It really comes down to the question of why do small, local US news sites care about the GDPR at all? I can think of three reasons:

1. They are actually all owned by a multi-national entity that is scared of the GDPR because it also operates in Europe

2. The news sites and their owner(s) aren't bothered; but the ad networks are. Maybe it's a "cross-contamination" issue. So they say something like "to keep using us, block European visitors, we'll provide that capability", and the news sites are probably fine with it because European visitors are a tiny fraction

3. It's a political statement, not an actual GDPR issue
> What are you calling for?

I call for a trend that results in mega corporations publicizing internal procedures that have a meaningful, lasting impact on the public. This information would allow us to better understand how we're being affected by their policies.

I also call for folks banned by Twitter to embrace capitalism and build their own competing platform. This seems a more reasonable approach than having Govs mandate speech.

> Do you like the status quo?

I do not like the current trend of Gov officials, of both parties, to try to gain more power over speech.

> I don't want them to be able to ban political dissenters or candidates simply because they disagree with them.

You can want that. It is unconstitutional for Govs to mandate they carry certain speech, however.

> I want transparency.

Me too. I believe my top remark here addresses that in a principled way.
Just to add a little data from personal experience... About 4 years back I ran a small study in grad school where I was trying to find some alternative to ads. For a survey I basically asked "how much would you be willing to pay to view websites without ads".

I bucketed the responses to something along the lines of greater than $1, $.75, $.5, $.25, $.01 or nothing.

What I was (secretly) hoping was that people would be willing to pay something like a cent for a page view, since I was building a prototype for a more user friendly anti-adblocker, seeing that many websites started to deploy their own back then, and hating that there was no middle ground.

However, what I found was that people were unwilling to pay anything for a page view. I think the author actually mentions this as a failed alternative model.

Point being it really seems like people have decided/agreed that they prefer the ad model to anything else. Even if it means that the cost of serving ads is actually higher (in terms of bandwidth) than what it would cost to just pay a cent or two cents or whatever for pageviews.

> Different things are mashed here. Public square implies public (Gov owned) property. A Gov official that posts a comment on my blog wouldn't transform my blog into a Gov owned entity. It would be a disaster if it did because it would become trivial for any Gov offical to seize my entire blog.

The argument is the government is mixing in with these social media behemoths, especially Twitter. It's more than some official using your blog.
If you are kicked off one or any of these networks you basically lose access to your government officials and companies that choose to do their business there.
There are no legit alternatives, these social media behemoths are so big they are becoming a town square for communication. They should be regulated as such.

> There's a reason that 1948 convention uses the phrase "physical destruction". That phrase was deliberately intended to distinguish the intent from physical, bodily destruction of the group members from the intent for cultural destruction.

There is also a reason that the Convention uses that phrase only as defining the additional required aim in the definition of one out of five separate acts that, when ”committed with
intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as
such", constitute genocide, and not in the description of the overall aim which makes any of the five acts consistute genocide.

In fact, the stark contrast between the language of general rule of intent in Article II and the specific rule for the individual act defined in Article II(c) underlines that the intent qualifying the other four acts as genocide is intended to be much broader than the physical destruction called out in II(c).

> Using the West's modern ethical vocabulary one can easily interpret the 1948 convention otherwise. But that's ahistorical.

No, what is ahistorical (and defying the basic structure of the document) is trying to promote the definition of the specific offense in II(c) as applying to and negating the broader language of the common portion of Article II when interpreting the offenses described in II(a), II(b), II(d), and II(e).
My first gut reaction to this initiative is a bit negative. There are handful astronauts in the world for a reason. It is probably the most challenging environment where you need to be at your peak both mentally and physically.

I am all for inclusion but as article states only 550 people or so went into space. That's an insanely low number. For comparison world wide on average there are 3000 deaths due to car crashes A DAY. Everyday 6x time people die that went into space ever.

I hope this program will not push out people that are a safer option for an astronaut in favour of a PR stunt. And that we are not wasting money on enabling someone's apex dream.

My bank mandated some “phone code” for a transaction; only problem was that it didn’t arrive. So I tried again and again. 20 minutes later, like 7 of the things arrived all at once on my phone. The bank locked my account for “suspicious activity”, and it could only be unlocked with a phone call. Then I call them, the minimum estimated wait is 50 minutes (oh, and the estimate got worse each time I tried later; and they are not open on Sundays). It ended up taking days to fix something caused by THEIR unreliable mechanism.

I also had an issue with an account that had a 2FA option but via an app that proved dangerous because I accidentally forgot about it when switching phone devices (same number) and just about locked up my entire account trying to get it working again.

If you mandate 2FA, it has to work and it has to leave the customer better off. If not, why bother?
