The alternative in past observed experience was going to a doctor for back pain and being prescribed pills that turned you into a pill addict that needed to be weaned off of them.

Personally, I know the adjustments work, but I’ve seen the alternative scenario with guys I’ve played hockey with they were hurt, and even if it were all in my head, it’s still a far superior outcome frankly. I’m pain free and drug free.

On the other hand, NASA ends up with people who really care about space, whereas FAANG have a lot of employees whose hearts are not in the mission. Money can do wonders for motivation, of course, but it has its limits.
> But California is trending down economically. This has been increasing for a decade and accelerated due to covid.

Is there some sort of higher-information content article or video you can post than that YouTube video? It's a slow roll out of rather basic history with some unsubstantiated claims thrown in in the first 6 minutes, and I'm not going to waste any more time on that.

Particularly when it's talking about an "economic downturn" without stating any support for that. I know this video was made 7 months ago, and that sort of unsubstantiated claim gained lots of traction with right-wingers, but it was a completely false rumor. California's economy is killing it, and our largely income-tax-based government is swimming in an unprecedented surplus because of how incredibly resilient California was when other areas were hurting.

That leads to the second egregious unsupported claim in the first few minutes: "California was particularly hard hit by the globally economic downturn"--no it wasn't and that was a preposterous statement to make, even 7 months ago, California was doing great and there was absolutely no reason to think it was doing worse.

California is not a perfect paradise; we are weirdly focused on keeping people out of the state, which means that people without land or without high incomes are continuously forced out. But the economic engine continues on as we do this.
Then you end up with an ecosystem with mixed conventions. Not good IMO.
That investment is likely cheaper and more feasible than geo-engineering the globe's climate.
One thing people don't often bring up is how great nim is for writing DSLs.

DSLs really matter in the hardware and digital design space - a space that
seems to be completely devoid of innovation when it comes to tooling.

A couple languages that try to bring RTL into the 21st century
are nMigen-Python and Chisel-Scala.

I'm currently writing an RTL in Nim.

Nim's macro system allows you to do really cool things like instantiate
named RTL wires and create custom operators like `:=` for Signal assignment.
Really excited about tier 1 BigNum support coming soon - which will make
it easier to simulate arbitrary width integer signal arithmetic.
There is only one relatively easy, safe, cheap and responsive way of reducing atmospheric CO2 left to us: oceanic seeding with iron.

Phytoplankton represent 80% of the carbon cycle, in terms of converting CO2 to O2. Problem is, they are resource-constrained via a lack of iron in the water.

Seeding the oceans with iron is easy and cheap - we already have all the tools to do so, and almost all are last century’s tech. It would be as simple as flying slightly-modified retired airliners a hundred meters over the ocean, out and back again, while releasing the dust.

Seeding the oceans with iron is safe - it has been done before, and the only known knock-down effect has been a massive increase in the health and fecundity of the entire oceanic food chain (salmon runs for the following three years were the largest in the prior half century).

Seeding the oceans with iron is responsive - unlike almost any other form of terraforming, iron seeding needs to be done constantly, as the life cycle of phytoplankton is so darn short. The iron either gets recycled very quickly, or ends up descending into the benthic layer when the phytoplankton die without getting eaten. Any seeding program can literally stop on a dime and go back to zero effects in less than three years - a blink of an eye, geologically speaking - if something negatively unexpected starts happening as a direct response to the seeding.

No other terraforming method has this level of ease, safety or responsiveness, making it the most appropriate method to use on our home directly.

And with 80% of all oxygen transpiration is done by phytoplankton in the oceans, we ALREADY have the largest oxygen-sequestration machine at our fingertips. We don’t have to build it. Why are we not maximizing its effectiveness?
They do not compete with each other (potential competitors just get bought out), and already do lobbying in vast quantities. And there's nothing about inter-country communication which requires Facebook's data mining, inasmuch as there are already network links between them which Facebook uses.

Are you asking about humans or civilization? If you look at the habitable range of humans today, obviously a change in a few degrees is not going to do much, some previously habitable land will become uninhabitable and vice versa but large swathes will remain.

Civilization is a lot more fragile and dependant on the pace of change, not the absolute magnitude. The problem with civilization is it's like a Jenga tower, you can continue building higher and higher up the complexity ladder and gradually knocking out supporting pegs for a little bit of time and things will seem fine, but keep knocking out just a few of the wrong pegs and there's no halfway state of falling, it's either intact or severely collapsed.

Thing that trips me out is that I've always thought of that book as being just a book about Silicon Valley

Which means everything I ever heard about it

from this site, HN, or The Internet, generally, or Wired, or wherever -- never mentioned that it had this crazy anti-woman stuff in it.

which makes it seem like, anyone who complains about rampant systemic all-encompassing misogyny in The Valley or Tech or the workplace, is probably onto something.
Why would EU (government) care? It's not like EU citizens would leave EU. Especially given that the government is preaching that this is protecting citizen rights.
The least affordable are the places with the most comfort, hours of good weather per year, natural beauty, amenities, and jobs.

The most affordable are the places with the worst weather, pollution, etc.

Doesn’t this just translate into ‘valuable things are more expensive’?
Not to mention, many parts of Miami are already built on artificial land. My uncle's place is in East Fort Lauderdale, which is an artificial network of peninsulas. sort of like this [1] but connected to land. New houses are build higher. Realistically I think accommodating rising sea levels is going to be accommodated incrementally by new development.

If you dig deeper into it you would probably find that this is not a black and white issue at all. After all there is reason why it is called "Republic of China".
Can you give an example?

Generally speaking, it seems to be clear that accusations of "antisemitism" have become a way to shutdown discussion and make someone you don't like an untouchable. It is a form of ad hominem. (A small historical note: the term "antisemitism" comes from the 19th century and refers to a racial prejudice against Jews, whereas the traditional antipathy toward Jews qua Jews was largely theological, moral, and social in nature, but certainly not racial which is a later development.)
Most humans just adapt and accept their circumstances.

It's not strange at all, you just didn't understand the point. Libertarian theory has all kinds of bizarre reasoning about human nature, which doesn't translate into the real world. History, on the other hand, does provide a guide to how large numbers of actual people have behaved in the past, when cast on to the scrap heap of life. Human nature doesn't change rapidly.
I'm not taking your bait (never raise minimum wage), but it's important to be aware that, at the margin, increasing the cost of any business input will result in business attempting to substitute that input to the extent possible - i.e. fewer jobs.

>TikTok doesn't autoplay anything -- it repeats the video you watched. Do you mean you scrolled down?

I click a link in WhatsApp, it opens up Safari in iOS on my phone, it plays the video, then at the end it starts playing another video.

I'm using a content blocker, so I presume TikTok does not know anything about my personal characteristics, so I assumed the videos that autoplay are the ones they autoplay by default.

PS I will forever harbor resentment to people around the world for putting up with video players that lack the ability to skip around the video or even see the length of the video.

Why do people always take the IDF at face value? Just two days ago they admitted to lying to the media about a ground invasion as a military tactic, what makes you think they would not lie about this? They've provided zero proof for targeting all this civilian infrastructure. Even some of the videos they try to use to justify the killing of civilians are 3-4 years old. The IDF can not and should not be treated as the end all of the truth, they can claim anything is a legitimate target and get away with it.

I can forgive almost anything Apple chooses to do with its app ecosystem. I'm not going to use it, it's none of my business.

Safari? That's where they are doing real harm to the economy. It's 1000x worse than IE ever was. At least you _could_ move on from IE when it stagnated. Apple won't even allow real browsers on iOS. It crosses the line between limiting consumer choice to strangling it out to keep users trapped in their walled garden. The market can't solve the problem, the government needs to step in and twist their arm IMHO.

I've always felt that these type of tools shouldn't have a traditional home page with sign up, sign in, etc. If you go to Excalidraw's website, it immediately launches the application for you to start using it. If you need extra features, only then you go to a page that provides details, pricing, etc. This is a beautiful pattern that makes these type of tools a daily habit for people to use. I don't want to create an account to try the app or use it in its most basic form.
Isn't the main function of Facebook to allow users to upload or enter contents for others to view?

It seems like people here tend to think of ad profiles as the only data that matters, but Facebook "collects" messages you post and photos you upload, just like most email services "collect" all your emails. This kind of data is far more sensitive than your ad profile.

Yeah, so what's the problem lol
Yes it's a left vs right issue here. This interpretation will seem very biased, since I am very left wing, but it really is this way:

The left see benefits or welfare as a right, and as a very important way to help people who have found themselves in difficult situations. Here in the UK, left wing people often view those on benefits as victims of their situation or upbringing. They do not think of them as of low social status.

The right see benefits or welfare as just a necessary evil to prevent mass death. Here in the UK, right wing people often view those on benefits as leeches and criminals, who have made the choice to be ineffective at achieving and maintaining a high enough income. They think of them as of low social status.

Sweden is very differently politically to a lot of countries, at least I've heard you have far less party politics. The UK is absurdly polarised on these issues.

For your cancer treatment thing, that's not how it works here in the UK at all. While we do have universal healthcare, unfortunately it varies drastically based on where you live, and if you live in a poorer area, you are much more likely to get overwhelmed and struggling hospitals. So really a hospital in a richer area will give totally different care to one in a poorer area.
The different scenarios are not constructed to represent the probability distribution of likely outcomes, and the "intermediate" scenario does not represent the "highest probability model".

Indeed, given that unpredictable human behaviour is the main driver of the response, it is very difficult to construct a "most likely scenario". Instead, what can be said is "given an emissions scenario (or range of scenarios), these are the probabilities of different outcomes". The sea level rise scenarios themselves only describe the outcomes, and do not correspond to the probabilities.

The mapping between emissions scenarios and outcomes can be found in Table 4 here [0]. You may note that for low emissions scenarios the exceedance probabilities don't look too bad, but there is still considerable risk.

That's exactly what it's like. The strategy is to keep users engaged and entertained, while keeping them dumb. Talk about Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, the Indian border conflict or a ton of other topics and you might find your content shadow-banned or your account gets suspended. Since they try this as much as they can get away with, you can be sure the recommendations and trends are manufactured based on what ByteDance/the CCP wants you to see.

Correct and it was also following a scathing interview Medhi Hasan had conducted with an Israeli official on Al Jazeera.

I don't understand how anybody with their brain switched on can live with the delusion that Israel is somehow some sort of bastion of democracy and western values in the middle east.

Not only do they actively discriminate and commit war crimes against Arabs (and this across all religions, whether Christian, Jewish, or Muslim) but they also provide arms and training for far right groups in South America for the expressed purpose of suppressing unionisation of workers and democracy. This includes some groups (and this is hilarious) with pronounced anti-Semitic views. Then again, it should not surprise anybody that far right groups tend to support each other (provided that they are at some distance), regardless of the particulars of their respective nationalities.
I heard a theory that college towns are desirable because of the educated population, but also they're designed to be compact and walker friendly, which is rare these days.

This is not true. The new universal credit rules allow you a certain amount of savings.

Ok so among the "most affordable" are: Flint-MI, Detroit-MI, Gary-IN

Oh boy

Affordability is one thing, viability is another.
This study is meaningless because it considers only the cost of buying a home, and not the total cost of housing or the cost of living. Specifically, it omits property taxes, state income taxes, and state and local sales taxes.

Several of the "most affordable" cities are in Illinois, yet here in Illinois we are losing population rapidly. The reason is that the tax burden is the highest in the nation. Property taxes in particular are out of control. That's why houses are cheap: buyers have to take into account the fact that they have to pay a significant percentage of the value of their home to the government every year.

Across the border in Indiana, there is a 1% property tax cap. In Illinois, property taxes average 2.5%, and there are some communities where it runs as high as 10% (mostly south-side Chicago economically depressed townships).

My advice: don't come here because you think housing is cheap. It ain't.
I had my suspicions about this analysis and Flint and Detroit ranked highly definitely speaks to the limitations of ranking based on an income-cost coefficient.
Where did you move to if you don’t mind me asking?

Are those numbers really comparable? Agriculture can use more or less any kind of water, can handle sporadic supply and is spread over a wide area. Fabs need very large quantities of highly purified water in very small high density locations and it's an industrial facility so can't handle interruptions well. It could easily be that there's a shortage of water affecting fabs whilst agriculture is fine.
Climate change has been shown in many studies to increase food production, because carbon is an input to photosynthesis.

I wouldn't really call Boulder a suburb of Denver - it is definitely in the Greater Denver/Denver Metro area, but it is geographically and pretty culturally distinct.

Boulder has (or maybe more correctly, had) that same liberal college town vibe that places like Ithaca and Burlington are known for. It is nestled directly against the foothills of the Rockies which provides great recreation options with hiking trails literally starting in town (Denver is ten or so miles east of the foothills). Boulder is home to a pretty booming tech scene, so there are some very high paying jobs to be had, too.

As I understand it, the zoning regulations designed to keep the "small town" feel prevent much development. These zoning ordinances paired with Boulder being a highly desirable place to live mean that demand far outpaces supply, and home prices shoot up.
