So instead of a fuel truck you have a battery swapper.

You'll have to ship the batteries somewhere they can charge/reprocess, but you also need to ship fuel, so it's a 1-to-1 tradeoff (you can ship the batteries by land).
I like the idea of knowing who has read an article in full and who has not.

That said, I don't mind some noise from people who scanned (or less) the article. Random and wrong is still fuel for my thinking. Which is why I'm here. I don't have intimate connection with individuals here so much as the group as a whole.

To respond directly to your suggestion, I'd like ANY (even honor system) notation for people who have read the article (RL1, Reading Level: 0-3).

I like the Q and A idea for myself so I can review the article mentally and recapture elements and think more deeply on the subject for retention AND for better participation in the conversation. I would actually like that on my browser - "quiz me on this page" - anyone want to collaborate? Not that I'm a chatty Charlie on the boards here, but it is nice to be more confident in one's ideas before sharing.
This has long been Michael Shellenberger's viewpoint— basically that conventional "green" advocacy/politics is mostly about erecting arbitrary barriers and preventing people from doing or having the things they want.

Which is all well and good when it's a rich country setting aside slivers of land as national parks for the common good, but it's pretty unfair when it's rich nations telling the BRIC what they can and can't do with the same kinds of natural resources that the now-rich countries happily strip mined from themselves and have plundered from elsewhere for the past century or longer.

Anyway, I don't agree with all of it (particularly his total dismissal of wind and solar), but a lot does ring true, especially when basically the end conclusion is that the route to saving the planet is to get everyone as rich as possible as fast as possible, because that's how to get them to care. And the route to that is cheap energy, and that means nuclear— not vapourware tomorrow-nuclear (thorium, fusion, whatever), but today's nuclear technology, en masse.

He's given a few TED Talks on this, worth a listen.
Your definition of hedonism leaves a lot to be desired. There's a decent argument that even stoics are hedonists using your definition since they enjoy being stoics.
The article had a totally random name, that's why google won't be able to find it. Thanks for trying tho.

Perhaps “no immediate threat to flight safety” just means that no aircraft with the defect have been delivered or are in service?

The phrase "Boeing said 787 planes already in service do not need to be grounded" kind-of implies that there are aircraft with this defect in service, but it need not necessarily do so.
You'll have to go back a very long way to find stable families that didn't have children leaving because they were bored, ambitious, abused, angry, or - in royal families - literally wanted to kill either or both of their parents and perhaps also their siblings so they could take over.

One difference now is freely available contraception and a much lower birthrate, combined with more economic stability. (At least for the boomer gen.)

When parents have two children and both are estranged, it's a tragedy. When parents had ten children, five of them made it to adulthood, and two decided to leave, it was acceptable attrition.

The other difference is the absence of extended family and friends who can step in with childcare help. So parents + kids going through adolescence under the same roof becomes a pressure cooker. No one gets much of a break for 4-8 years.
Thanks for replying, Daniel, but your team seems to have a major culture issue regardless and I think the defensive and somewhat random/rambling tone of your comment clearly reflects that.

I run OSX/Tenacity, not a Linux user looking for idealogical purity - just a long-time user that sees a lot of red flags on the wall with your acquisitions. Your comments in the musescore-downloader project after the legal threat were simultaneously the first red flag I was made aware of and the first time I had heard of the "Muse Group".

For a director of strategy, your strategy and how you deal with the users and fans of the software/good will you've purchased seems less than ideal to this outside observer. Good will was generated by a long-term interaction between the community and the open-source project and you've managed to squander it and apparently continue to do so.
>and barter to money

>Of course I'm an engineer and know next to nothing about anthropology.

You're probably wrong here.

>There is no evidence, historical or contemporary, of a society in which barter is the main mode of exchange;[32] instead, non-monetary societies operated largely along the principles of gift economy and debt.[33][34][35] When barter did in fact occur, it was usually between either complete strangers or potential enemies.[36]

This is what happens in an Electron world. Lots of experts around to make some JS+CSS notification boxes because they keep reinventing those for every SPA anyway, but.. integrate with the native system notifications? They don't even know how Electron works so how would they begin to do any of that.

Many people would already consider HN to be a bay area-centric echo chamber. Based on the examples you listed, this seems to be an argument to explicitly enforce that echo chamber so that nonconforming posts are blocked outright. At that point, why even bother allowing users to discuss things at all, if posters are only allowed to agree with each other?
I have had two entirely separate dentists tell me to avoid mouthwash, except as something to cleanse the mouth with quickly after a coke or to freshen my breath.

The first dentist suggested that it may make plaque worse, but they never gave me an explanation.

5 years later a different dentist told me to avoid mouthwash and instead to 'mouthwash' with the fluoride foam from brushing my teeth, before spitting that foam out and then not rinsing with water.

ridiculous quote of $/kWh of batteries, poor analysis of degradation which is way more complicated than they assume, also you should understand that soon carbon will have a price, airlines won't have a freeride forever
Unless you know of a way to do moderation 100%, liability for user-generated content is infeasible.

The fulfillment of this fantasy of forcing platforms to abandon their efforts will just lead to all of social media degenerating into cesspits as they fill up with porn and swastikas and all normal people leave.
It's technically true that you could find some way to dye your skin a different colour, but I don't think most people would find that to be a realistic solution to anything.
Is there any evidence that the specific type of fluoride salts added orally via the toothpaste actually provide anything beneficial? Asking because I have seen some biologists get into arguments about this very topic specific to the type of fluoride solutions. [1a][1b] Just curious really. Fluoride has some interesting properties. [2] Apparently some cities have blocked water companies from adding it to the water supply. [3][4] 74 cities. Some foods naturally contain fluoride. [5]

Repeating annoying phrases that casually dismiss suffering seem to be human nature. It likely irritated Voltaire so much he wrote the tragic novel Candide in 1759. In that book the phrase is "everything is for the best in this best of all possible worlds" is thoughtlessly repeated during times of unspeakable cruelty and horror.

>Humanity has never been served well by institutions when those institutions attempted to influence the distribution of information. It just shows how fragile and desperate those institutions are.

Fixed it.
So, "social absolute" is a concept that you invented, which allows you to use absolutist language while claiming otherwise. Is that about right?

> what is typically considered a serious crime

How often do you suppose the emotionally abusive behaviors described in the comment that you orginally objected to rise to the level of criminality? I'll give you a hint if you need it.

I notice you didn't answer any of my other questions. Would I be way off-base to assume, therefore, that your sympathies lie with the abusive father I described?
Whether or not Twitter the platform has some technical feature in common with the public squares of olde is missing the point. The concern is that a significant volume of our national dialogue (and indeed the dialogues of many nations) is hosted on Twitter, to the extent that many people (including the very same people who think Twitter's "censorship" is a Very Good Thing) are concerned that Twitter is a vector through which foreign state actors can and have indirectly influence democratic elections (if state actors can do it indirectly then that implies that Twitter the company can do it directly). Even if you aren't convinced that Russia used Twitter to game the 2016 POTUS election, there's a larger umbrella of concerns about the outsized influence of social media companies (for example, the various arguments levied in The Social Dilemma).
Yes. It should absolutely become less agile, over-regulated, more expensive, and less convenient.
My parents...are a mixed bag. They weren't or aren't abusive. At least, not physically or sexually or anything like that. Emotionally...that depends on how you want to interpret events and what your perspective is.

But.... there's a gigantic cultural (rural vs suburban), generational (Xenial/Milennial vs Boomer), political (die hard Republicans vs Greenwald-esque progressives) and religious (baptist vs atheist) divide between us.

To complicate matters - they, especially my mother who's suffering depression from chronic illness, can be quite toxic and stress-inducing at times. They're judgemental, my mother can be a tad manipulative - nothing is every enough. I could call every day, i could see them once a week, they freaking moved within a 20 min jog of my house ffs. They're pushy.

To quote Kill Bill Vol 2: "Because he's a very very very old man. And like all rotten bastards, when they get old, they become lonely. Not that that has any effect on their disposition. But they do learn the value of company."

And that's the conundrum of them. They are characters and they are a lot to take in and a lot to ask my wife to habitually tolerate.

But on the flip side, they're incredibly thoughtful, giving, will stop anything at the drop of a hat to help with problems big and small, physical, financial, you name it. (though i never take them up on the $$). They... were incredibly flawed parents and i didn't walk out of childhood without issues.

But man, does being a parent change things. It makes me hypersensitive to just how i'm going to fuck up my kid, what kind of an annoyance i will be to him. The bond i have with my child is already something i can't explain to people who don't have kids and even to a few who do. And the idea that one day he'll just be too busy for me, or even being a teenager and being too cool for me.. it depresses me.

I didn't have him to burden him with me. but it's a relationship that i value higher than anything else.

i'm getting older - i've had medical ordeals, watching my mom suffer medical problems and it's just hit me how short and temporary all this is.

And i dunno. I understand a bit more now, and am tolerant a bit more now. I'm more grateful for what was done for me and less judgmental about differences. Life is hard, life is fragile, relationships are hard but... they're worth the extra effort (on both sides).

I don't have a lot of friends. I just never fit in anywhere. But whether i did or didn't, it really strikes to the core of just how important family is, looking down and up generationally. No one wants to die alone.

No one wants to pour all that effort, love, attention, money, heart-ache, struggle to doing the best you can for a kid, just for that kid to be like "fuck off" (for whatever reason, sans abuse). To dedicate 18-25, sometimes more, of your life to someone and them to just ...be too good for you now?

I was that kid at 25. At 40 with a 5 year old, i am not. And i will not be.
I second bookmarking. It's bad that they don't export it on the data export, and you can't scroll down after a certain limit, but at least it's private. And they seem to be planning on adding API support for bookmarks, so in the future we can just export it that way
The problem of political will seems to me to be one of money. Many if not most governments are already funded substantially via debt. The massive outlays required to make a real difference will be nigh on impossible to obtain unless the average voter starts to see tangible, daily consequences. And then the economic consequences of so much money creation would be hard to manage. Ironically, the system itself is threatened by collapse, so trying to operate within the system to get the problem solved seems like folly...if you could get everyone to agree, perhaps we could simply wipe the "debt" away somehow. Find some other way to "pay for it". But our financial constructs are so fundamental to daily life, it's hard to imagine what that would look like.
>Malthus was right!

Oh no he wasn't in his main hypothesis, roughly what wikipedia has as

>Populations had a tendency to grow until the lower class suffered hardship, want and greater susceptibility to famine and disease, a view that is sometimes referred to as a Malthusian catastrophe.

It ignores that people can think and fix things. Re the current situation, world population is predicted to peak shortly and solar is cracking along.
Sounds like barely more than a captcha.
I am completely behind this as a person who technically might seem like a stereotypical radical to "one side".

Empathy, the "Message of Christ", the Buddhist quest to end suffering, this is the fundamental goal and idea that drives my beliefs. The true revolution is to care for others with love.

IMO the crisis of the USA is that there is so much selfish lack of awareness or empathy everywhere.

Yes, Republicans are more famous for being psychopathic and heartless but if you think for a second that manyyy of the woke are not needlessly creul to others and uaware of certain aspects of reality than you're not seeing the full picture.

I also think we need to abandon most all labels in favor of descriptive beliefs. The label is only 50 percent effective unless it comes with 100 other labels. We are truly never even one of them in our individuality.
We need a better 'Open Stack' for cloud stuff.

So that you can just run a bunch of your own servers, lay over the 'Stack' and then get nice Lambdas, provisioning, and other things.

Imagine if you could just buy some hardware, and have some regular IT guys reproduce most of Amazon without the Amazon?

That would be a 'reverse revolution'.

National Regulators could also support strategic investment in the sector, i.e. 'financial ops have to be backed-up in-nation by a local provider' i.e. some kind of forced local diversity in the system by regulatory fiat. As an idea.
I am both terrified and in awe at the technical prowess it takes to discover these vulnerabilities, let alone exploit them. Meanwhile I sit here fumbling with writing custom hooks

That really depends on your definition of "successful".
Do it. I lost both my parents in my late 20s. I didn't have the level of contact with them the last few years that I wish I had, partially because I assumed I've have time for that when they retired. They didn't make it.
The big takeaway I have here is that security is a balance between usability and safety. In this case by having malicious links that were obfuscated (behind HTML?) to appear as legitimate LinkedIn links, the target clicking them was compromised.

If mail clients were to open a modal for each link and say "Are you sure you want to go to https://LinkMeIn.com/totally-legit?email=victim123@gmail.com" would this cut down on these attacks?

Taking the idea too far: A system like this would probably link to some sort of cloud database eventually to catch "emerging threats" (novel URLs that look malicious) but then would that in turn threaten end-to-end encryption of email by sending links in emails to a cloud tracker?
Sure, like this wasn't just a grab at the quick growing market of social voice chat apps like clubhouse last year. What a bullshit org.

Twitter management is synonymous with incompetence.
> If a website does not honour legal request, it'll get blocked

If that is happening, then the architecture of the internet needs to take more evolutionary steps.

If the state can censor the internet, there's nothing 'inter' about it. It's just a network, subject to the whims of its flailing predecessor.
Do you believe that a central part in how many people interact with the internet doesnt have any moral responsibilities?
Sarcasm?

Ted Nelson is pretty consistent here and has put thousands of hours into it.

Yeah for aesthetics, go crazy. I guess the PCB design is also a lot easier for an ortho.
> Yes. The government already does this and it's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, this sort of thing is ubiquitous and quite tolerable.

I'm glad to see this, a lot of the anti-censorship people are, surprisingly, anti-regulation. I'm not quite sure how they balance the two.

> I know we aren't going to agree on this, but I dread the idea of my human and civil rights being dependent on Capitalism. And I'm a supporter of Capitalism! The exercise of civil liberties should not be dependent on their profitability.

We actually agree here, and it sounds like you may be a bit less capitalist than you think you are. I'm definitely capitalist, but abhor things like price gouging, scalping, and predatory loans. They exist because there is a market for them, gained through what I would consider a lack of morals.

The free market is great, until it isn't.

As for censorship, it needs to exist in some form or fashion. The reason why platforms such as Parler failed was because they were unable to moderate their platform. If you have a bunch of people posting child porn, planning attacks, etc (edit: and you, as a platform, do nothing about it), you will become toxic and nobody's going to want to work with you. I think that the disagreement that you and I have is where that line should be drawn.

It's been pretty obvious for a long time there's an overabundance of humans on earth that is simply unsustainable in the long term. WW1 and WW2 along with the Spanish Flu and others relieved the earth of hundreds of millions of humans.

Covid didn't have much of the same affect as we exerted our dominance over nature - there's absolutely nothing that can eradicate the plague of humans we have today (aside from other humans, it seems)

So something's got to give, and whether for good or worse earth is for humans by humans, unless we cull our population significantly that's an uncomfortable but true reality.

I'll be surprised if in a decade or two the "Amazon" will be a thing.
Grand-grand…grand-son of Cranage Brothers here. The Cranages worked for the Darbys in their furnace (around 1760) and invented a new process for converting pig iron into wrought iron. Quakers themselves like the Darbys, one of their descendants founded a school in Wellington (the Old Hall) where my grandmother was born.
And so reading these historical notes reminds me of the narrations from my parents and grandparents about the steel industry and our family, very strange and nice discovery here on HN!

In some cases (e.g. Jews, Amish) the lines between race/religion/national origin become pretty blurry. I agree that it's the most ambiguous of the classes, though.
The Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains
It's interesting - because if you work with really rich / spoiled kids, they are sometimes being sent on these summer / camp type programs as a punishment. So some kids have been mowing lawns to try to pay for the program (thinking of it as something super special - which it is), and other kids are being sent as punishment.

Reality is underneath most kids are good. Get them out of the environment and if you can get peer pressure going the right way, they'll drop right into it. Seriously, their parents wouldn't recognize them (cooking, cleaning, being very physically active etc).

But early days can be a shock to the system. If you've been jetting to paris to shop on weekends, and then are being asked to eat a meal cooked by other kids (no meal choice at all - just one big something) and/or need to cook it, it can really feel like something way out of comfort zone.
Religion is a protected class to stop zealots from waging wars on each other, got to nip it in the bud before tension builds up. It is a very rational reason even if the protection shouldn't be needed in theory.
Well, pedantry is quite popular around here.
Much of what seems to have held parents and adult children together used to be grandchildren; with fewer people having children of their own, and waiting until later in life, that might be a lot of cause of the estrangement. Anecdotally, I've noticed a lot of people in their 20s or 30s get much closer to their parents when the first kid arrives.
