I think there is no single right answer for that.

I hate boring common things. If I had an unusual name I surely would have been bullied for it, but I was bullied anyway for my own innate behavior. And those are facets of me that I own and love, and did even as a child. As a very ypung kid I didn't consciously recognize the potential value of standing out, I just mean I knew the things that made me different were good things that I was not going to change.

I love being distinctive and interesting. I wish my name was special. I have very common first and last names so it's hard to prove I would have liked living with a weird one, but I have a somewhat uncommon middle name and I actively incorporate that into my identity. I include my middle initial everywhere I write my name, and I use f.fullmiddle.l as my gmail etc. Those little things mean it gets remarked on and every now and then I end up explaining it to someone, and the relative it comes from who I admire.

This is all just to say that different people react differently to the same inputs. There probably is no safe default for everyone. That which was bad for you would be good for someone else, and the reverse is also true, that which would have been good for you would have been bad for someone else.

For some people, the very safeness of a safe choice is itself the harm.

In the end, life is a dice roll. You don't get to choose your parents social standing or your genetics or country of birth, and as a parent you can't know ahead of time what decisions today will turn out to have been the best. Today I wish I wasn't circumcised, but I don't hold it against my parents because in the US in 1970 I think it was just plain universal, and my mom especially is not the weird-loving eccentric willing to buck the system that I am. She had to make decicions the only way she could. There is physically no other possible way to do it.

Louis Rossmann: EU hands Amazon win over small businesses with VAT policy
Qualcomm can beat Apple M1 chip, says CEO, thanks to ex-Apple engineers
Agree. The worst are the little vendors. I want to support you and all because I love your small batch popsicles, that's why I'm paying $7 each. But, you just took it out of a freezer and handed it to me, this is a pure retail transaction at this point. It's like going to 7-11 and saying, I need $20 on pump 8 and here's $5 for your trouble...
I had to change the title since it was too long to post on HN. The actual title of the video is "[RANT] EU hands Amazon HUGE win over small businesses w/ horrible international VAT policy"
What is your point? That if the US wins a war with China then China looses by loosing? What is surprising in that?

The point is that a war won by the US will destroy the winner too. Did you just downvote and comment without even reading the post or what?
> This is more or less how it should be. If Amazon isn't going to offer a good enough deal, then companies shouldn't move packages for them.

Not really. These companies are basically committing suicide, because Amazon is in such a dominant position. The way is should be is that they could have put pressure on Amazon much earlier, instead of being forced into such extreme action.

Nothing will change. Amazon will just shift to exploiting a different group of suckers through Amazon Flex, or go back to UPS for awhile until the lessons learned from this dissipate. It's not like there's a club of past & future delivery company operators that meets regularly, to keep the knowledge of how bad it is to work with Amazon alive. As the saying goes: "a sucker is born every minute."

This is a retort I see online a lot, and it is not a good one.

When people say how its dangerous to voice opinions nowadays, they aren't using medieval Europe as a reference point (where it was also very dangerous to voice unpopular opinions). The reference point people use is their own experiences online from ~10 years ago.

People used to be able to say whatever they wanted online, and now doing so is dangerous. You may think that is a good thing, but it is still unequivocally true that voicing unpopular opinions online is more dangerous than it used to be.

Making some snide remark about history is completely missing the point.
"The ideology of individualism is dependent on a denial of the past as relevant to the present… Individualism denies the significance of race." -- Robin DeAngelo

Robin DeAngelo, is a frontrunner of 'white guilt', CRT, and other strange sides of the woke movement.

This quote pretty much sums it up, they want to put group identity first, above individualism.
That is you reading something in it I didn't write. The point is that a won war will utterly destroy the winner too. Sure, the looser wil loose. That isn't surprising and I didn't think it needed saying.
Fair enough -- in that case, you should definitely use either a decimal type or an integer.

Yea maybe. The ones that are at our mailbox don't really bother anyone - they're just grabbing pollen. I grab my mail from the box everyday. Though one thing I didn't think about was someone potentially allergic to bees, but I'm not willing to accommodate everyone.

> However, women have to fight an in-built discrimination. While men are more forced into work because our gender role expects it of us.

I’m very skeptical about this. Firstly, the popular studies that purport to show bias against females are variously flawed (including using old data from other fields) but also because women have done very well in other fields at other times which were much more hostile to them (medicine and law, for example) than tech. Similarly, women do well in tech in countries that have much more gender inequality than we have in the West (indeed, there’s an inverse correlation between a country’s gender equality and its female representation in technology). All of this suggests that discrimination isn’t responsible for as much of the gender gap in tech as we suspect.
Yep, Copilot is insanely poorly thought out. Astonishing they'd release something as half-baked as this.

Which words in that statement are contemptuous?
Yes, we do both and yes honest working poor people think about it often. All debt cancellation is regressive. Only wealthy people and children (who are still used to having wealthy parents) support corporate and other “million dollar” bailouts.

If it’s not “million dollar”, just $10-20k or something it wouldn’t require a bailout.

Bailouts are for rich people.

> if you made a naïve assumption of 3-4 packages per delivery then it's a similar workload

But you're still just making an assumption with 0 evidence. I would love to see a distribution of how common multi-package deliveries are, but we don't have that information, and I highly suspect that it's overwhelmingly one package per delivery.

It seems like an exceptionally bad assumption that Amazon is regularly shipping 3-4 items individually rather than bundling them up. After all, they are basically a logistics company at this point.

If we're just making assumptions here, you may as well assume that most Amazon deliveries are to apartment buildings, where the driver just leaves everything at the front desk, there are 200 packagers per delivery, and the driver is only making 2 stops per day.

Loads of folk use just webmail though, and SMTP/IMAP is usually disabled until they generate an app password.

If you do enable SMTP/IMAP: sure, it's correct. But that often doesn't apply, so I don't think it's a "trick" or "sleight of hand".
That's a really good point.

Google Inbox was fantastic, I miss it. Still, not as good UX as Inoreader for reading newsletters.

Also, I find it healthy to keep things I *have* to process (email, to-do lists) separate from things that I scan for interesting stuff when I have a moment to spare (RSS, Twitter, HN, Instapaper).

> I think there's about 3 or 4 regular newsletters I tolerate.

Maybe you'd be willing to tolerate more if you kept them out of your inbox ;)

If the headline of this had been "Embedding rPi Zero into a 1989 Laptop Chasis" then I would have though oh cool and checked it out rather than being annoyed that clickbait made it onto the HN front page.

The key ingredient in a "race to the bottom" is not resource sharing, it's competition combined with a feedback mechanism. Resource sharing figures in a lot of examples, because "consume most of the resources" is a common way to win a competition, but it's not necessary; for example there's no resource being shared in the classic prisoner's dilemma.

Anyway, you're right that this a competition for corp tax money, and that it could be bad in theory if there was no competition for it, since e.g. we could all collectively agree to set the corp tax rate too high, which I agree would be bad. But there's no ratchet effect. All we have to do to avoid the "taxes too high" problem is be aware of it and decide not to do that, whereas we cannot avoid the "race to the bottom" problem by being aware of it, we need an agreement like the one described in the article.
I am glad InfoGalactic exists and try to tell other about it. It grows tiring, the character assassinations of right-wing biographies on wikipedia, for example controversies are presented in the opening paragraphs instead of being a sub-section. For example from the opening paragraph of Vox Day:

>>Theodore Robert Beale (born August 21, 1968), also known as Vox Day, is an American far-right activist,[2] writer, musician, publisher, and video game designer. He has been described as a white supremacist,[3] a misogynist,[4] and part of the alt-right.[5][6][7]

Now I would say InfoGalactic is politically neutral, I have not seen them applying bias against left-wing individuals. But even if they were right-wing that would be fine, even good. Mainstream morals/culture have been captured and manufactured in the image of a modern international leftism. And as someone on the right, it would be nice to see right-wing intellectualism go on the offensive for once and reclaim a sphere of influence.

Cheers, I hope you enjoyed your InfoGalactic-dive, seems you liked it fine until Wiki told you not to.
You say you don't need discrimination to explain it, but your explanation assumes discrimination ie. you have to be really damn good in order to even have a chance as a woman. There is another explanation, the distribution of IQ between men and women:

> Another factor affecting perception may be distribution of IQ ... Although [men and women] are on average the same, the people at the very top and the very bottom of the IQ bell curve are more likely to be men. That is a pattern that we see in the university setting, with men either being at the very top of the class or at the bottom.

I think a judge could be persuaded that a list of every known human does not constitute a valid attribution of the actual author, even though their name is on the list. The purpose of an attribution is to acknowledge the creator of the work, and such a list fails at that.
They aren't. For the most part, everybody who ever would already does.

Entire states livelihoods basically depended on said conglomerate for some time, even if it was an honestly fairly shitty livelihood. Like... you know how Utah is basically a Mormon/religion state? Well, the O&G industry is just about an all encompassing religion for some other states. Decades of time, generations of families, and billions of corporate dollars went into brainwashing these people into thinking O&G could do no wrong and anybody who said otherwise was effectively trying to take their religion from them.

It is likely that nothing is going to change this any time soon. Psychology on a mass scale is insane. Just look at the Texas recycling campaigns.

I think you’re right that they just have to stop asking for payment but I assume those payments were included in the budget. The shortfall will need to be made up somewhere. Either higher taxes or fewer services.
Giving more power to the IRS is not the answer. The Fair Tax is a far better solution.
> That's why we need to bring these "few bad apples" to the forefront.

I don't think you can unspoil the culture by just removing a few individual apples.

Culture is hard to change.
While I can appreciate where this is coming from, I can only help but thinking that this is a very poor short term solution.

By debt cancelling I expect he means the government / the central bank will pay the lenders. (If not then we will have a massive homeless retirees problem as they are generally the lenders).

As an economist, the issue with that is that it will continue incentivize the function of the underlying economic system and the problem will re-appear even faster.

In the economic area mentioned by the author, housing, eduction, utilities, justice, it seems clear that if people need to get over-indebted to get basic services, there is a pricing issue.

The problem come mostly because usual market arbitration forces are not applying in those areas because of asymetric needs of buyers and sellers. The average renter generally cannot avoid paying or use a subtitute and is generally forced to bear a price augmentation.

If the government simply pays the sellers of those services, they have no incentive to provide them at a lower cost.

So I believe it's really a pricing issue and only its resolution will allow to resolve the symptoms, debt and poverty, that it creates.
