Do you think the review is false or misleading or do you just think it might be? For a $1500 product often you will have to make purchasing decisions based off just one review.
Or just simple misaligned incentives. At the time communities are formed and lots are subdivided, they're planned out based on the prevailing population densities and consumer desires of the time. People move in because they like how the community feels, and then are disincentivized toward changing it because any change would take it away from the local optimum that they bought into. The people who would benefit are those who don't currently live in the community. Property owners get a vote; prospective property owners do not get a vote; ergo nearly all communities are biased towards the needs of existing property owners over newcomers.

Talking to boomers, I don't get the sense that either racism or property values are the motivating force behind zoning restrictions. Rather, they want to preserve privacy, natural beauty, traffic, neighborliness, and the general aesthetic that they bought into. Racial discrimination, high housing values, and homelessness are consequences that fall out of that, but most people voting for these policies are not thinking about those. It's "fuck you I got mine", but out of apathy rather than malice.

I am glad this website, unlike many other websites and news reports, does not call him "President". In fact, he is not a president in any sense. In Chinese, he is never called a "President". He is the General Secretary of the CCP, the National Chairman of the PRC. He is NOT a President.

By calling him a President, the western government and media is legitimizing a dictator.

Some point out that the CCP wants him to be called as President in English, but the simple fact is that President = 总统 in Chinese, and Chairman = 主席. There is zero ambiguity here. It's just a CCP word game. If the CCP really really really want to call him as a President, try call him as 总统 in Chinese first.
Distributing the revenue is not about compensating for harms. It's about ensuring that you don't have a net impact on people who are using the typical amount of energy. The idea is that the tax captures the externalized costs of economic actions, like emitting carbon. Once the cost of the actions is fully priced in, it is reasoned, consumption will decrease to the optimal level given the harm done by consumption.

The biggest problem with this idea is that we don't really know what the costs are going to be.

In practice, poor people would be beneficiaries of a externality-capturing tax, because by and large, rich people use a lot more carbon. More flights, bigger cars, bigger houses, etc.
I think both are fair readings here.

There's even a strong case for a third problem: copyright itself is a tool fundamentally one-sided and OP.

Three different things can all be true at the same time without detracting from each other.

The problem with focusing on just the police here is that there are any number of circumstances where copyrighted audio will be naturally occurring that the issue will require more than just getting the police to refrain from using the loophole.
Not something I would install to my grandma. Really, she doesn't of course have internet, just the old analog landline phones, doesn't know how to use a computer or a smartphone or anything like that, I want a TV that is simple, just press a button and it powers up on the specified channel.

Next year they will switch off DVB to migrate to DVB-T2, and of course I must buy her a new TV (using a decoder it's not an option, too complex having to manage two remotes controls), and it seems that nobody produces dumb TVs anymore...
How is weakening the state a good thing?
So its not about preventing climate change, just mitigating its effects.
Acer has always been trash, it just turns out trash is a trajectory; it gets even more trashy through the passage time.
The government isn't willing to stop climate change either. I REALLY want to do a large solar panel setup at my house, but it looks like there's no way around paying through the anus for the ground mount "system" instead of buying 2" pipe with concrete set in the ground every 8 feet. Because then I would be inventing it myself.

Yet if I want PG&E there is NO FUCKING PERMIT and you just do it. Explosive results.
Having someone in a hearing and "voicing" your opinion all over the internet has real repercussions when it comes from a public institution that can obliterate your business with a few laws if you don't do what they like. It is not simply voicing their opinion, it's an obvious tactic to get away with shutting down dissenting opinions under the guise of questioning.

Why pass laws limiting speech when you can have your lackey friends in SV do it? It's a coercion tactic similar to what police do since they're in a position of power.

Would you be ok if they brought in the local restaurant owner and asked them why they served transgender people and when they were going to stop them from spreading trans culture inside their business?
People will talk about "protecting property values", but I'm going to claim that's not the underlying motivation.

1. The history is easy, these rules were created originally to maintain racial segregation. The Color of Law covers this in detail. For a shorter form, check out https://grist.org/cities/zoned-out-one-womans-half-century-f...

2. Upzoning a property makes it more valuable. It's giving back property rights to the owner. There's no cost to the owner, but now large developers are a potential buyer. The _real_ selfish move is to demand that ONLY my property is upzoned.

When municipalities consider upzoning, we don't see 2. Instead we get people talking about "destroying" the neighborhood. Renters are referred to as transients. Occasionally the mask comes of and we hear about "those people". When people genuinely think those things are going to happen, they also think their property value will go down.

It's like people talking about the civil war in terms of state's rights instead of slavery. Makes perfect sense if you think of slaves as property.

Edit: To be clear, I think there's a lot of people that think of single family housing as a "lifestyle" that they prefer and are not necessarily bad people. However those with the most visceral reaction that actually become activists tend to be a combination of racist and classist.
What stops a person from creating a legal entity to funnel your activities through to personally avoid taxes? If the corporate tax rate is 0% and the individual tax rate tops out at 40%, the incentives to practice this kind of avoidance are strong.
We entered that age a decade ago with the rise of smartphones and tablets. General-purpose computing devices that allow you to run any code you want are gradually disappearing.

For how long will we be able to run unsigned code on Windows or MacOS? And for how long will 'secure boot' hardware allow us to run Linux?

Soon we'll have to buy very expensive and specialised development kits/development workstations to create content for the other 'content consumption computing' devices
How would this be done? Hardware or software layer?

Why would this be done? People add secondary drives, may need to boot from USB, etc. It seems like a weird limitation.
No, that just increases people's desire for material goods even more. There is no fixed level of material wealth people expect.
One of example: my electric company offers green energy at about $0.15 more per unit than non green energy. If that was it I and many people would go green, but if you read the fine print that is a variable rate and could be much higher in high demand. That green power isn’t worth the real potential of a thousand dollar electric bill.
look at something like Obsidian for modern editor UX
Actually a common reason given for having corporate taxes is they're easier to collect since you collect from fewer payers.

The biggest problem is they obscure tax burden. All tax burden is ultimately born by individuals. If you levy on the corporation instead of the individual directly, then the burden just gets divided between clients, suppliers, owners, and employees, and how it get divides ends up depending upon the relative price elasticity of demand for each of their services. When taxes are levied on individuals directly, how the burden gets distributed can instead be codified in law.

At least in that sense, corporate taxes are somewhat anti-democratic. Politicians and voters are out for blood on this, but what they really want is for the owners to pay more tax. That can be better accomplished by just taxing capital gains and carried interest.

There is, of course, also tremendous deadweight loss in that business decisions are often dictated by what results in the best tax treatment rather than what is economically optimal. The fact that it actually makes financial sense to entirely relocate operations to other countries is itself a pretty big indictment of taxes like this. That's a huge amount of resources being allocated in a way that does not result in any improvement to the goods and services.

But, to the point of this treaty, if they're not going to eliminate corporate taxes and tax owners directly instead, the next best thing is at least make the taxes the same everywhere so the relative change in rates will stop dictating business decisions.
> He isn't responsible for the fact that it is being filmed and shown more widely.

IANAL, but I think this would be a tenuous claim. If I see you with a camera and do something while you are pointing the camera at me -- with the express stated intent of having you film me doing it, no less -- I don't think I would get to (credibly) claim "hey, not my responsibility, I just happened to be doing that thing and you happened to catch me doing it on camera."

Overview of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
In this situation it’s often best to employ what many seasoned consumers call the HUCA strategy:

Hang Up; Call Again.

I’ve used this in many scenarios, with much success. It does mean you might on hold for a bit, so it’s best to plan mindless tasks that can be quickly interrupted while doing this, but for big ticket items where there isn’t much recourse it’s often worth it.

As soon as it becomes clear the person on the other end can’t help say “goodbye” and hang up.

Call right back and hopefully you’ll get a more helpful person.

It’s very possible there is a way to get into the BIOS, and the rep just didn’t know it but didn’t wanna come off as ignorant.
I think you're reaching a little here. There are many, many things wrong with YouTube but just because someone found a hack on attempting to stop things from going viral doesn't mean they are really to blame here.

Also, YouTube is not the internet or the world's preservation archive of video. It's a massive tv station from a massive ad company. I can't imagine there won't be a time where YouTube doesn't start deleting videos that are uploaded to their service just because they are taking up storage. So let's not give YouTube that power.
> Would I vote for legislation that would redirect subsidies from fossil fuels to clean energy sources?

FWIW, there are actually fewer "subsidies" to fossil fuels that could actually be redirected than most people here think. When you read HN articles and comments on the "fossil fuel subsidies", in my experience the bulk of these is "fossil fuel has this and that externality, and users of fossil fuels don't have to pay for it, so we count it as a subsidy". Whether you agree that this actually counts as subsidy or not, it's not like you can redirect it.

> wealthy individuals will always try to avoid giving the fair share to the society

Given that the median US household pays about $10k in taxes per year, and has a net worth of about $120k, perhaps we also need a global minimum wealth tax of say 8% per year, with a tax free allowance on the first $100m of net worth.
Not necessarily, poor people are actually known to be surprisingly generous.

> nothing stopping someone from selling their private key to someone else.

The fact that the original owner(s) can still use the name would prevent resale. For example, the admins could simply shadowban a username if they verify that multiple users have the same key (e.g. if my private key was stolen, I'd report it to the admin).

> If you just want to avoid squatting/speculating, you could make the user IDs be random unique values but associate them with a non-unique human-readable name.

The literal identifier isn't important to account resale value. User accounts include all of the state as well as the literal identifier, including reputation, longevity, and associated app content. This is all valuable to asshats -- they want high-reputation accounts to broaden their spam audience. But in order to make it costly for asshats to gain high-reputation accounts (more costly for them than for admins to shadowban them), we can't give them any shortcuts -- the system should compel them to spend time and energy to earn their reputation like everyone else. So, account resale shouldn't be supported by the system.

> I believe it works by having users meet in person and mutually verify each other as being unique humans. It should be impossible for someone to pretend to be two people in the same place at the same time, so that does seem viable.

This does not sound like it prevents a small number of asshats from just creating a bunch of fake sockpuppet accounts. If creating accounts is a cheap (or cheaper) than shadowbanning them, then the asshats will eventually overwhelm the admins.
I would first evaluate if improved work effort will benefit you. Will you get a promotion and raise? Is it a reasonable trade off for the lost personal time, life memories, and sacrifice of non-work life goals?
It's also one of the best. I'm working on a little game in my spare time. It's built on this platform that you consider to be one of the worst ever invented. If I want people to try it out, I just give them a link and they're in the game in seconds.

There's no other application platform that comes even remotely close to that.

I agree that elected officials shouldn't try to make an end-run around the 1st Amendment by threatening to regulate companies if they don't censor on behalf of those officials.

When they do, shouldn't we should place the blame at the feet of those elected officials, not the companies they're attempting to extort?
