In the pre-regulatory system, you could sue the manufacturer in those cases.

I believe that this is Pollan’s article from 1997, related to the main post here:

Very interesting, thanks!
This is actually where I've drawn the line.

I am willing to pay to watch your movie/show/series, but if there is no way to do that then I will pirate the show.

Only reason I got a month of Netflix was Inside

Only reason I got a month of Disney+ was to check out Loki

Neither will be renewed.

I tried to search platform where I could watch the new Rick & Morty, but I wasn't able to find one in EU. I'm sure it exists, but if Google can't get me the answer within resonable time (like this time it failed to) I just downloaded the episodes (actually I was able to watch the S5E1 from AdultSwim's website) [BTW if someone knows EU streaming site where I can watch these as they get released I'd like to know so I can pay for couple months]

When I say things like that to my Canadian friends, what I mean is: “I am not confident in the ability of the government to implement a reasonable single payer system. I am concerned that regulatory capture, small government politics, and special interest groups will result in system that is worse than what we currently have.”

You had mentioned hospitals being incentivized to reduce costs. They could do that by avoiding sick patients. Or not treating sick patients.

Some “providers” already have this business model.

Also, it’s all but guaranteed hospitals would seek to increase revenue by providing non medical services at high expense.

$2000/meal. $500/night parking. $500 for a hospital gown.

America needs to address its weak administrative state, underfunded and under-qualified civil service, and overall shitty public sector before taking on a massive project like this.

Mid 40s. I get about 3 per week. A few years ago it was a lot more. But I can’t blame my photo, since I haven’t changed it since 2008. Out of ambivalence, not cunning. Perhaps it’s because I’m specific about the somewhat niche area I work in (not web) or perhaps those resume gaps I’ve always been cavalier about are finally catching up with me. Or maybe I should drop the 1990s era from my resume since that gives my age away.

I wouldn't bet, myself. England's horrid habit of passing backward, which I have seen for over 50 years, may still sink them. As my late Dad used to say, you want to play your game in the opponent's half.
This is spot on! I think sometimes if you do same thing 3 times it is already better to script it, unless you are sure that no further modifications will take place. Scripting will ensure reproducibility and it is invaluable when you can follow your logic later when you already forgot how you come up with that chart.
There are fundamental problems with international laws; whoever has the power, enforces its version of law. In fact, the state is founded in Law, whose enforcement depends on the monopoly on violence. That's why the State has monopoly on violence; and it takes different forms, through prosecutions, through imprisonments, etc.

Instead of talking about legal perspectives or of interests of Ethiopia or of Egypt, one can talk in terms of 'reasonableness'.

It is reasonable to use the water that drains off Ethiopian watershed; here, Egypt can't use some colonial era treaties unless it wants to colonize Ethiopia. No reasonable person will accept the claim that 95% of Nile water should go to Sudan and Egypt.

You also raise another reasonable point: "It is how long does it take for fill the dam and make it longer so that it reduce its negative effect". This is something many people agree with. However, this can't be solved using the historical outflows to the Nile. Just because 95 percent of the water went downstream to Sudan and Egypt for the last 900 years, one can't expect Ethiopia to release 95% of the water this year. This is where the real dispute lies, and that dispute manifests in terms of "how slow one has to fill up the dam". Maybe, both Egypt and Ethiopia can put percentages: Egypt can say "just release 80% this year, decrease 5% every year until it reaches 50%", or Ethiopia can say "we will release 10% every year until the dam is full". That way, one can see where both parties stand.

Law without violence(enforcement) is useless. Colonial powers had that power when they assigned most of the water to Egypt and Sudan. One can't expect this now.
"Do you have any good reading on the idea your postulating?"

I'm not really postulating an idea.. just expressing my own skepticism.

But, for more discussions about this sort of thing I can recommend taking some philosophy courses on ontology, metaphysics, the philosophy of science, and the intersection of philosophy and theology.
Reading that story, I feel like you were sabotaged at every step by a CTO that was so insecure that they were afraid to succeed, and would rather fail on their own terms.

You might have been able to improve some small aspect of the mobile demo that would have prevented the crash (ie: error handling on that field), but your C-team was obviously playing Russian roulette, and if the demo hadn't blown up, then attempting to productize it almost certainly would have.

In a way, you should feel better about the outcome you got; your CTO was obviously trying to bluff the investors that there was more product maturity than actually existed. If he had succeeded, he would have burned through a bunch of other peoples' money, and the outcome would have still been failure.
Instagram had 10mn users and a one week old Android app at the time it was acquired.

Their ad system was pretty much ported from FB, one assumes, and their ads were sold by FB reps as part of a package.

I honestly don't know if they would have made it independently (and we'll never know, I guess).

The snapchat thing was different. Snap had a policy of focusing on iOS, while FB, IG and Whatsapp (all of which cloned their core feature) were available on Android. I personally think Snapchat shot themselves in the foot with bad product strategy.

And look at TikTok. They are definitely the biggest competitor FB have ever faced, so I'd imagine that the future competitive landscape for them looks much more difficult than the past.
To me it seems, it aims to be something like Adobe Animate (formerly Flash), which is really something we need OpenSource.

But there would be lot's and lot's of work to be done, to really compete with it(I cannot find any drawing tools as of now). But it looks good so far, I think.
I just mentioned the pollution aspect because of the irony. The real problem in my opinion is how this new space race and the new focus on manned space missions and space colonization distracts the public and some very bright people from acknowledging and working on solving the real global problems that humanity is facing due to our unsustainable lifestyles.

I used to work in a software factory when I was young. Only one guy in the sales department used to approach us (developers) when he was preparing a demo for a big client of a new development. He wanted to know what to avoid, what not to do, which dataset worked better for the demo. Today I remember him as the most professional salesperson I met.
In principle I agree with this but you have to have a certain baseline level of privilege yo even get the choice of choosing D/R in the US. If you’re a minority or marginalized group [1] you’re basically stuck huddling around the Democrats regardless of how you think of their broader views. I’m a super liberal person so it works out for me accidentally but I have libertarian friends who would for sure vote Republican if it wasn’t for baseline existence issues like BLM or gay marriage.

Like all actual policy discussions happen within parties because of this. It’s easier to get the Democrats to be a little more conservative than get Republicans to support trans healthcare.

> thousands of dollars probably.

> How much value do you extract from belonging to a Facebook group? It’s probably a million dollars per person.

No idea what you’re on about. The average person doesn’t buy Apple products, they have a small percentage of market share. You’re just throwing absurd numbers around.

You’ve argued my point: people value socialization (millions, according to you) more than they value privacy (mere thousands, again according to you).

Nobody forces anybody to use Facebook. Yet billions use it. It boggles my mind when people feel they should dictate other people’s personal choices.

cigarette lighter adapters are usually pretty good. Especially when they don't need to filter whatever crap is happening on an automotive supply (lots of EMI).

They'll regulate output to 5V and a smartphone won't be harmed by it. Too much current won't be a problem for a smartphone, it won't take more than it can handle.

Newspapers in the US collectively had $19.9B yearly revenue in 2020 [1]. ($8.8B advertising + $11.1B circulation.)

With a population of 331M, that's $5.01 per person per month, or half the population paying $10/mo.

Now obviously you're not going to get half the people in the country to pay, but if you call it $20/mo/household, and compare it to the average $100-150/mo/household people pay for cable TV, I'd news absolutely could survive on numbers like this. It's not "tiny" at all -- it's ballpark.

One of the principles of public health is that you can't just look at one disease isolated, you have to look at public health as a whole. With lockdowns there's been a lot of collateral public health damages: Cancer treatments and scanning that were not provided, worse cardiovascular disease outcomes, diabetes not being properly taken care of, tragic mental health situation, education of kids going to school, and other unintended side effects. One of the things known from the beginning is that, even though anyone can get infected with covid, there's a 1000 fold difference in the risk of mortality.
"The law of noncontradiction does not restrict God. It comes from God. It is a characteristic of God."

I get messages from recruiters based on the very last thing I'm doing, even if I just started doing it in the last 6 months. I got the impression recruiters rarely read the LinkedIn profiles.

I assume that either most of the people decline right off the bat, or they have a very low cost of processing candidates, because that surely doesn't seem to be a very precise way to look for the right people.
The food analogy is shitty because you know what I do when McDonalds takes burgers off of their menu? I go to the grill next door to get my burger.

With movies/shows the problem is that there is no alternative. If I want to watch Startrek I can't just put on the Simpsons as an alternative and if I've purchaced a streaming service explicitly because of Startrek then I'm going to feel like I was cheated.

I tend to find people who don't like emoji to be slightly racist. Given emoji started in Japan, they get this "ewww, who wants the foreign shit in my text". Even HN is slightly racist on this front. The fact that an entire culture embraced them and that you reject them is not racism with a capital R but is arguably in the gray area of, probably unintended, micro aggressions. You're basically telling an entire culture to go F themselves.

If you don't like racism tag, then how about sexism. I'm pretty confident women use more emoji than men and I've seen plenty of female engineer's tech blog posts showing lots of emoji in their terminal prompts etc. So, assuming I'm correct, not supporting them is arguably sexist since you're effectively telling women "sorry, your preferred mode of expressing yourself is disallowed."

I get that the blog post is about not using them personally and that's of course 100% fine. But if you're judging people on if they use them or not, or if you're making systems that don't support them, please reconsider.
It is somewhat more better than internet points when one of my posts gets a “why is this on HN?”

I don’t think HN will ever be overrun by original artworks. Partly because like most things on the internet most original artwork trends a bit forced. Mainly because nothing dominates HN. Not even Lisp.

Now I want to read "Cities of Salt" again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cities_of_Salt

I'm not even going to click through to any fricking article or video: Just reading the comments here gives me quite enough claustrophobic shivers.
When they signed up for said service, was there an implicit agreement in place that said they would show whatever show he/she wanted, when they wanted? While I agree that the GP has the right to be upset that their expectations weren’t met, it doesn’t make the unreasonable expectations right. I’d argue that Netflix, or whoever, not carrying a show or file for whatever reason, save them explicitly stating that they would do and failing to do so, is unreasonable.

That would be, to me, entitled.
It would be kind of neat if that could be layered so that one could not only verify that their source-provided copy is legit, but also that the underlying paper itself has also not been modified.
Idk, if you bothered to read the study that you are pointing to in your coup de grace, you'd would realize your cited sources admit that EV's create no more particulate pollution than ICE engines. Your cited study actually states that EVs do reduce particulate pollution but only by a couple percent, which is opposite of "creating more" for those who prefer evidence based positions.

It's almost as if regenerative breaking reduces break wear and compensates for the marginal increase weight as many other people have already pointed out?

While the technical term in philosophy is "The Problem of Evil", it's really more about suffering and imperfection than it is about the loaded term "evil" as such.

It can be reduced to the general question "if god is perfect, why is the world imperfect?"

Or, to narrow the question a bit while still avoiding the use of the word "evil", we can ask "if god is omniscient, omnipotent, and benevolent, why does suffering exist?"

We can agree that hurricanes, earthquakes, other natural disasters and diseases cause suffering, without getting in to the question of whether they're "evil" per se.

Such non-human causes of suffering don't seem to be necessary in a world created by an all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfectly benevolent god.. yet they still exist. Why?

Couldn't such a perfect god have created a world without all this suffering?
To a degree - I get contractor reluctance. Most people don't care to spend more to do better, so they're never going to have much of an install base to build knowledge from. So they're probably estimating high because of unknowns, and also partly because bidding on higher-end packages just isn't as competitive.

I'd really just like to order my own equipment and pay an HVAC company's "day rate" to come out and install it, and I'll deal with surprises or warranty issues.
I saw Dean Martin in the Wrecking Crew when I was a kid. As hard to believe now he did three movies where he played an American James Bond and they were quite popular.

What I was surprised to learn now is that his lady friends in that movie, unknown at that time, later all became famous. Elke Summer was the exception, she was married to Sammy Davis at the time and was in a lot of movies.

Sharon Tate who soared to fame in the late sixties and married the director Roman Polanski. She was pregnant when she was murdered brutally with her houseguests by the Manson Family.
