His point was that in a country where there are, say, two extra men per ten women, then a large number of those men, no matter how hard they work or try, are destined to be alone for life.

If we are talking a country of a billion people, we are talking a multi-hundred-million-person imbalance developing. When young men with poorly developed decision-making skills get it in their head that nothing they do along traditional paths matters because they will never woo a partner, they begin to take less “traditional” routes to fixing their personal problems, like war and crime.

The answer to your final question is almost always money. The English-speaking upper echelons of Indian society are a significant presence on the internet.

What is intriguing is the fact that twitter in India is dominated by the elites or those at the top of the wealth pyramid i.e. the richest 5% of the population. These people have tremendous power in Indian society and hence their current right-wing regime is paranoid about this section being publicly critical of the government via twitter.
If Google Books were creating new books, that would only help their argument. Transformativeness is one of the four parts of the fair use test.

Copilot producing new, novel works (which may contain short verbatim snippets of GPL works) is a strong argument for transformativeness.
Copilot just suggests code.

This applies to Open Source software just as well. Why rely on documentation when you have the actual code?
One view would be that copilot the app distributes GPL'd code, in a weird encoding. Training the model is a compilation step to that encoding
The word "pandemic" ~didn't exist prior to vaccines; arguably, it's too early to say whether every pandemic or no pandemic has ended.

This is a perfectly reasonable approach.

You're both an employee and an owner of the Corp. And are entitled to benefits on each side.

Dividend distributions are a common means of compensation to share holders. You are an investor in the company.

Your usage of "scheme" is interesting and probably one of the many reasons why people like Bezos bring up so much vitriol when discussing taxes.

I see this approach as a perfectly legitimate, thoughtful structure to the issue of division between employee and ownership compensation. You see it as a "scheme".

Why wouldn't Twitter trade their employees for money? There's no shortage of potential employees in India to replace any that the police might arrest. As long as it's the employees suffering most of the consequences while Twitter receives most of the benefits, they're going to do what all profit first entities would do and let the employees suffer.

> the prescribed methods offered for solving the problems laid out in The Communist Manifesto haven't been successful

It was written about 170 years ago, so it'd make sense that the methods would no longer work now. Even if we count the inception of the Soviet Union as its first actual use, it was already pretty old to be relied upon as a manual.

The productivity gains I mentioned are a very important step in that direction. Capitalism and free markets work best on an economy saddled by scarcity, to the point many scarcities are engineered to extract labor from the scarcity gradients a bit like a Stirling engine extract mechanical work from a temperature gradient: you don't need an iPhone 12 (I know I don't) or a 64-core desktop (I could use one) and a lot of people will work so they can have the things they want, but not necessarily need. As the tangping prove, after you reach a certain level of abundance (a low one for them), capitalism ceases to be able to extract labor because the price of wanting more is too high for them.

These people who refuse to participate in this system are willing to live a materially constrained existence in exchange for more free time and a simpler life. I think we all could adopt a less radical position and still live with a little less and enjoy a life a little bit less complicated.

> We already know vaping causes popcorn lung.

Not true. The data we have shows that it was being caused by Vitamin E acetate, which was used by off-brand THC cartridges. None of the major nicotine vapes used this chemical.

Also, this attitude of "oh we don't know" could be extended to any new product anywhere, including the vaccines we are using now. All of the current data supports vaping to be significantly safer than cigarettes, so let's proceed with that data and if the data later changes, we can update our guidelines.

Otherwise, you are killing people in the meantime.
> In some places there is tendency to still mandate homes to be heat traps to save energy, which could also lead to really bad outcomes in very hot conditions.

Agree, but I mean, that's probably good too though. If you don't insulate homes well, they waste more energy (and emit more CO2) on all the days they aren't under an insane heat wave. And if you are Air Conditioning a house, that same insulation helps keep the place cool.

Even places that "never get cold" and therefore "don't need it", should still be reasonably well insulated both ways anyway. See the Texas Cold Snap earlier this year, and all the damage that caused (even though that weather would cause zero issues in Michigan). See the recent extreme heat wave in Seattle + Portland tearing apart roads and such (even though that weather would cause zero issues in Arizona).

Homes probably need both to be well built. They need to be able to heat trap and to quickly/efficiently cool + ventilate.

And in general, the concept of "building to match local climate" is probably going to have to be a relic of the past. There is starting to be no such thing as predictable local climates anymore. If you want something to last, it's going to have to be built as if it could get anyone's weather at a moments notice.

I work for electric utilities, and we've been looking at hydrogen carefully this year, but it looks to remain a niche technology for energy storage.

Hydrogen production (electrolysis, etc.) is only about 30% of the full system cost since you've also got storage and generation components. It's not likely that hydrogen will become competitive with battery energy storage since the full systems costs are very similar now, batteries are rapidly dropping in cost, and hydrogen storage and generation tech isn't getting much cheaper.

There could be a cost-competitive niche role for hydrogen through injection into existing natural gas infrastructure. But that infrastructure is already facing cost pressure from renewables.

Decide-ability here means "Can we come to an answer in a known amount of steps". If you have an algorithm for type checking; then that answer is yes! You're _always_ able to come up with an answer that is yes or no.

For example the following algorithm is for typechecking is decideable:

typechecks :: Program -> Bool
typechecks _ = false

We always come to decision. There is no "semi" here. Just a clear yes/no answer.

The algorithm is even sound. It rejects all incorrect programs.

However it is not complete. It might also reject correct programs (In this case it rejects all correct programs).

Of course you want a as little conservative typechecker without getting into trouble. But it's always conservative to some extent. Preferably you would both be sound _and_ complete. But the problem is that any reasonable logic system can't proof its own consistency.
Hence we can't have both. However we can get "as close as we possibly can".

Google Books is a commercial site which incorporated the snippets of millions of copyrighted works. And of course, sitting in thousands of Google servers/databases are full copies of each of those books, photos of each page, the OCRed text of each page, and indexes to search them. Even that egregious copying without a license or permission was considered fair use.

If anything, the ways in which Copilot is different aid Microsoft/GitHub's argument for fair use. Because Copilot creates novel new works, that gives them a strong argument their system is more transformative than Google Books, which just presents verbatim copies of books.

> Making money comes first in this world

In the past year virtually every major economy in the world shut down to try to ward off a virus that, even unchecked, couldn't kill a fraction of the people or ruin the world the way climate change might. Google tells me that it'd cost anywhere from $300 billion to $50 trillion to end climate change, however that'd work [0]; the amount we've collectively spent on COVID, somewhere around $10 trillion more than half a year ago [1], would at the very least take a big dent out of that.

Clearly, there's a point where we can put money aside for other things. It's not just greed; it's short-sightedness and stupidity too.

> Aren't these deductions built into the tax code? They are there to take advantage of and these people are using them. There is no political will to change the tax code

You have to ask yourself: how did these deductions get into the tax code in the first place, and why is there no political will to change it? I mean, they didn't just appear there. So who put them there and why?

The tax code was just changed in 2017. There was plenty of political will to pass a $2T tax bill that sent 80% of the benefits to the wealthiest Americans and corporations. That happened. It included all kinds of benefits for the wealthy, including lowering the estate tax and corporate tax rate. The corporate tax cuts were permanent, while the individual tax cuts we all got will expire soon.

If Congress can do that, isn't there any political will to allow me to deduct my children's day care? If I had a billion dollars, I'd send a pack of lobbyists to DC just like AT&T and maybe they could muster up some "political will" to change the tax code too.

In short, when the wealthiest Americans use their wealth to leverage Congress to perpetuate their wealth, it's not enough to say "Well, what they're doing is 100% legal, so I guess there's nothing shady and illegal going on here." If "legal" just means "whatever money can buy", then what's even the point of law?
The problem with the theme that the US went in to 'save' countries under a repressive state is that it's simply untrue. Why would the US just go in to save people? Given its war crimes exposed by Assange and its crimes against its own people by Snowden, it's clear the US doesn't operate with angelic purposes. There is always an economic and idealogical benefit to the US when the US invades or goes to war. Whether that's to benefit senator's private war industry, or to install a US-friendly puppet, history shows us it's definitely not due to pure altruism.
How is that a threat to India's sovereignty or security?
Modi is infamous for having caused, by his actions or inactions, the Gujarat riots that killed 2000+ people. Hell, he was even banned from entering the US, till he became the Indian PM. There is blood on his hands and lots of it.

> Yeah, especially on HN there's lots of whataboutism. As you can see from other responses you got, a lot of people get really defensive for China and are very eager to carry water for them - for apparently no reason.

I was arguing with someone about a fringe website the other day, and I think I finally understand the thought process a lot of these people have. I think many are people who are strongly and habitually opposed to something (in this case, US injustices) have that opposition warp their perception of other things (especially things "opposed" to the US). Sometimes that means they see discussion of other injustices carried out by US adversaries as a distraction to be fought. Other times, that means denying and defending against accusations of injustice against a US opponent. In extreme cases, it means starting to explicitly support those opponents, even through they're arguably worse on almost every value axis these people started with.

tl;dr: anti-imperialists who oppose the US imperialism can sometimes become defenders of imperialism done by US adversaries.

This is article that helped me realize this:

https://newpol.org/against-the-grayzone-slanders/:

> During the Vietnam War, opposition to the United States and support for national self-determination for the Vietnamese among young activists sometimes developed into support for the Vietnamese Communist Party and its leader. One often heard at the protest demonstrations, “Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh, the NLF is Going to Win.” While this drift from opposition to the U.S. government to support for the Vietnamese government was understandable as a gut reaction to the horrors of the U.S. war, it was also very problematic. Most people chanted this slogan naively, but some gradually became supporters of Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese Communist government, and of the Soviet Union that was backing it. Few in the movement pointed out that Ho and the Vietnamese Communists were Stalinists who had murdered their leftist competitors and strove to construct a Soviet-style state in Vietnam, which is eventually what happened.
