Insurance works best when it's something that appeals widely (eg: all drivers must carry insurance) but is used rarely (very few drivers will have an accident at any given time). MoviePass was offering a service with narrow appeal (avid moviegoers) that used the service frequently.

Try to imagine a reasonable policy rather than assume the worst possible policy and then the outcomes that follow.

One can imagine that public charities or government assets for example are exempt from such a scheme (since they don't pay tax anyway usually).
> I think electric aircraft need another doubling or two in specific energy to become feasible, so another few decades

We have plenty of fossil fuel so if most of the world stops burning gas we can run aircrafts on fossil fuels for centuries. Even emissions wont be a problem as cheaper energy on ground can be used to capture green house gases and store them someplace.

> I think electric aircraft need another doubling or two in specific energy to become feasible

My trucker friends loved the electric semi trucks but what they were upset about was the charging time. Every hour the truck is idle you are basically losing money, losing rhythm of driving and so on. I think with aircrafts it is going to be an even bigger issue.

Does anyone know what stops us from building tech where batteries are rapidly switched ?

I think if I'd instead written "This is what people mean when they say 'Crime is a social construct'" it wouldn't have been downvoted from the outset. "X is a social construct" is heavily associated with a certain viewpoint that HN tends to reject. But I quite like the symbolism of being downvoted "superficially" until I edited to explain in more detail.

I somewhat regret upgrading my system, which is pulling data out of InfluxDB 2.

— categories now have "_value" in their names, I can't find how to fix this without adding hundreds of overrides.

— two-axis line charts have merged into a single axis and I can't find how to revert this. One series shows the CO₂ level and the other one shows the particulates. They have very different ranges. The PM line is now unreadable. I guess I'll have to split them into two separate charts.

— the time series chart seems to be a rewrite of what was already working fine — but now I can't easily reorder the Total, Min, Max, and other columns without removing and re-adding them; and they don't seem to be sortable (you could sort the legend in the old line chart and it remembered your preferences across page reloads)

— the legend rows can't be clicked with my vim-like navigation plugin (vimium) anymore. If anyone from Grafana is reading this, it's very easy to fix and should help with accessibility:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/A...

On the other hand, the "Connect null values" feature is a lifesaver. My data sources are very unreliable (and I can't fix them because they are provided by a third party) and there were huge gaps there that were filled with meaningless interpolated data. (If it were +20°C outside a day ago and now it's +30°C, that doesn't mean that it was +25°C in the middle of the night when the sensor wasn't working). Now they look like proper empty gaps. Huge thank you to whoever came up with that feature!
Small business owners take out loans in order to build up their company. Making that harder seems like something HN would implicitly dislike.
Wouldn't it make sense to just pay more taxes and also give away money to charities?

I mean, even if the tax rates are raised it's not like that money will universally (maybe not even majority) be applied to "good" programs... so once the tax rates are raised you're going to be funding more bombs and all that too. It's not going to just go to welfare (not using this term negatively) programs.

It seems to me if you want to reduce wealth inequality you could do something like pay for a few people each month. Kind of like a patron. Why wait for a government program in which some of the money will be siphoned off for bloat, some of it will not actually go to the issue you want to address, and even so you won't have much of a say in how the money is spent in the first place?

I actually run a non-profit. (Site is down at the moment b/c I didn't want to pay $300 for another year of Wix so I am going to redeploy it on S3 - where art thou time). I see a lot of other non-profits in my space who seem to be siphoning up money for not-so-great ideas and projects and general government contracts. Feels like nobody is really great at this stuff.
The reason conclusions reside at the end is that they draw from prior content.

If the lay-public cannot follow the linear steps and context of research, then how will they understand the conclusion? It would be no better than an authoritative appeal. "I called this research and formatted it like so, nevermind the methods or data, therefore you should accept this conclusion" is about as far from the intent of science as one gets.
I am curious, and I'm curious for many others commenting in these threads; did you read the entire email thread was that posted on imgur (and referenced as "technical details" from the post), or just the content of the original blog post?

I only ask because there is a 3-page (in my opinion, aggressively worded) email response in between "I feel this is unethical" and "legal action". I could see how the content and tone of that particular email could be interpreted in a way that could escalate the situation.

Again, I do not agree with the response here, but it's not as if there wasn't a long email with a fair amount of context in the middle.
Sure, one executable is nice, that might be enough of a payoff for some people to overlook the rest. I think you may be underestimating the amount of choice that's out there though. For documentation alone there's countless options that don't require a centralized online thing. Three I'd use over Fossil again are 1) simple project doc/ folder with .md files inside (which you can render locally to look just like github with https://github.com/joeyespo/grip) 2) Doxygen or a language-specific equivalent if it's better 3) libreoffice docs stored either in the same repo or another one (perhaps a submodule).

For project management I'm less familiar with the options out there but I'd be surprised if there was nothing that gives a really stellar offline experience. I'd give a preemptive win to Fossil on the narrow aspect that your issue tracking changes can be synced and merged automatically with a collaborative server when you come back online, whereas if you stood up your own instance of Trac for instance I'm not sure if they have any support for syncing. If you're working by yourself, though, then there's no problem, Trac and many others work just like Fossil and stand up a local server (or are dedicated standalone programs) and work the same whether you're offline or online. But when I'm working solo I prefer low-tech over anything that resembles Jira (and I don't even really dislike Jira) -- I've played with https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue as another offline/off-platform option but in my most recent ongoing solo project I'm quite happy with a super low-tech issues text file that has entries like (easy to make with https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-table-mode)

I think here what will make or break it will be if it manages to reach a critical amount of early adopter to justify making games for the platform, otherwise it's going to end up like the Ouya, hipster version.

Personally I think it's cute and I'm vaguely interested by it, but at the current price point it seems like a tough sale. For literally $20 more you get a Nintendo Switch Lite (admittedly without games).
Two questions:

1. How much of the wealth (and/or income) do they have?

2. If they paid their taxes like the rest of the population, what would this number be?
>In every instance we were able to check — involving tax filings by more than 50 separate people — the details provided to ProPublica matched the information from other sources.

So we know it was at least 50 data points and not all of them were public. It was likely many hundreds of data points since it would be trivial to check more than one number if you already had 2 copies of a tax return pulled up.

If we take ProPublica's words to be accurate, then how would a state actor know exactly which 50 individuals ProPublica would have access to given that they would have a vast network of contacts and can and did ask the individuals involved to review the information they received and point out any inaccuracies.

Either these are real tax returns, ProPublica is lying or the state actor has a crystal ball.
That actually seems like a great idea. Not 10 minutes of jail time, but some form of liability. If orgs are incentivized to increase shareholder value, and those shareholders face no liability for wrongdoing done to increase their assets worth, then the incentives are out of whack. I don't know what kinds of liability makes sense, but some form seems like a great idea.

If you own one share of amazon, and it gets some penalty, then you face 0.00000002% of that penalty in some way.
Things have changed since you last used it 4 years ago, so it's probably unfair to judge the tool now based on how it operated then. Most of these pain points (code reuse, state management, more robust HCL features) have been addressed. The one major thing I'd like to see are better LSP bindings for IDE support.

Terraform has been a great tool and it's always surprising to me to hear people hating on it.

Kind of, but the insurance business depends on the costly events being rare and mostly independent of the customers' choices (e.g., getting sick is the event for health insurance, getting into a car accident for auto insurance).

MoviePass is the opposite. It sells/sold a product that is frequent enough and dependent on customers' choices. The MoviePass product is pitched as way to go to the movies whenever and as often as you want, thus maximizing the frequency of costly events (i.e., paying for theater tickets).

While promising I still don't trust people to self medicate with these things.

So much FUD on this thread. If a doctor can identify something fishy on a x-ray OF COURSE an appropriate machine learning algorithm can do it as well. It's just a question of gathering the right dataset and experimenting with different architectures.
> Any moral dilemma slightly more complicated than 'is killing wrong' is a tradeoff

Even killing is a trade off. Every country has a military of some sort. Every village has some form of police that can kill (some are much more likely to kill than others, but eventually all police forces can bring on death if the situation is bad enough). There have been cannibal societies in history (not very common from what I can tell, but they did exist) that would give a different answer as to what killing is moral than most of us.
What?

Not only is microdosing a thing, shrooms can be used recreationally with none of the cliche shroom effects.

I have a very adverse effect to alcohol, so if I'm seeking a mild buzz or want to enjoy social events more -- or just want a mental vacation -- a <2g dose (dried cubensis -- this is way beyond microdosing, but just on the topic of "not all shroom experiences are space walks") yields just a nice feeling and experience that lasts for many hours. I'm more in the moment, relaxed, and seem to enjoy experiences more, without hallucinations or altered judgment.

Obviously I need to disclaim that this is my experience. Other people might become murderous psychotics or something. I don't encourage anyone else to do anything based on this. However there is a pretty common advocacy of microdosing.

Though this submission is utterly absurd if it's seriously positing that the public at large is microdosing rather than taking walks.

Do you have evidence of them buying laws that allow them to not pay taxes until a capital gain is recognized? Because that’s the crux of this whole article, that they’re paying a small percentage of their “wealth gained”. As far as I’m aware, capital gains have never been taxed on eg company stock in the US before a sale triggers it, so it can hardly be considered the work of this group.

It gets substantially murkier, too, when you consider that much of the nominal valuation gains on their assets might be attributable to the dollar being essentially devalued vs hard assets.

I thought I was just terrible with using my password manager….

This happened to me at least a couple times back in 2016 when I was seeing 2+ movies with MoviePass. I would get to the movie theater and all of a sudden be locked out. I would need to reset my password standing on the curb waiting to get a damn email over 500kbps LTE.

Good to know it wasn’t my fault and that the public in general is now aware of this behavior.
This is one of those little echo chambers. If you go looking for people who microdose then you’re going to find people who microdose and extol the virtues of it. When everyone around you is doing it because you went looking then you think it’s the norm.

Having attended a bazillion completely random things on Meetup in the last few years in London of all kinds, which is a hobby of mine, yep walks in park it is. And not one microdoser.

On the original topic, walking anywhere is the best therapy for me as well. Especially when it ends in a pub with good company.

I played a little bit of Disco Elysium, which is a super interesting detective who-has-lost-their-memories, & wakes-up-in-a-run-down-city game, and one thing that just blew me away right away was picking skills as I was building my character.

One of the example skills that blew me away, that put a pin on a set of ideas & thoughts that were floating about but un-named, was "Inland Empire". I struggle to describe it, but it's kind of the inner reserve of imagination, resounds very much with the hyperphantasia extreme described in this article. The game's full skill set is semi-viewable from here[1], & Inland Empire is a psyche skill on it. There's a lot of other fun amazing good skills, most a bit more classic in nature, but Inland Empire shored up & defined how I think of the Mind's Eye in a big way.

It was a mistake not an accident.
When you make an accident, test safety checks can save you.

However although you don’t intentionally make a mistake, you do intentionally carry it out.

In that case, no amount of safety checking will stop a human being from implementing bad logic.

We consider these awful because of tradition.

The land tax advocates would say that people who own valuable real estate should sell, they are hoarding valuable property.

My scheme (which I’m not too serious about) would not force bankruptcy in the stock options scenario because you could give up some stock options to get your money back. Or possibly get a very low interest loan since it would be fully collateralized by the forced savings.
I am frustrated that we continue to have the death penalty for individuals that commit heinous crimes, but we do not have the death penalty for corporations.

I feel like when you manage to harm a billion people at a time, the penalty should be that your company is dissolved, it's assets auctioned off, and the trademarks and domains blackholed.

And then, since I don't support the death penalty for individuals, the C-levels investigated for their knowing involvement in any related schemes, and if proven aware, given prison time and forbidden from ever operating in a management capacity at any corporation ever again.

The problem with corporations is that there is no meaningful disincentive to commit crimes. You succeed, you get rich. You fail, you take your severance, live like a king for a year, and then get hired to do the same at another company. If executive pay is going to come with outsized pay, it should come with outsize risk: Jail executives for their choices when running corporations. For the millions they make, they'll still be lining up for the job.
Unfortunately last I checked, pulumi only offers state locking with their paid service. If you want to self-host you have to implement it yourself, which seems like a non-starter for a lot of people.

The taxable amount would be the loan amount, not the value of the property. The loan is trivial to value. If the property later sells for less than the loan amount then it would be a capital loss that could be carried forward from there.
I think the population of folks who care is too small to do that.

And honestly a good chunk of that population will still just complain anyhow / might not be persuaded. They already kinda made their call.

Only smaller ones are, and they can still vent hydrogen in some cases. All sealed lead-acid batteries have shorter lifespans as you can’t add water to them to replace water lost to hydrogen gas production.
You can follow this logic all the way down:

- tax on wealth

- tax on growth

- tax on capital gains

- tax on dollar deposits

- tax on spending

- tax on value-added

- tax on labor

Oh wait, that doesn't work at all.

- no tax

Which is the correct answer that ends up in everybody paying for the economy in proportion to their benefit from it. We're already operating like this: https://www.sifma.org/resources/research/us-treasury-securit...

I think BR's advice is more generally applicable than PG's.

PG has always been about the grind: the enormous work and outsized rewards of tech startups. Very few people are or ever will be successful startup founders using PG's definition of success (which ends with a billion dollars minus whatever the VC's take). I admit it's interesting to read sometimes, but it will not resonate fully unless you're all about the business.

BR is more about the individual, their potential, and the life of the mind. None of his ideas valorize about money and status.
