During college, I participated in medical trials at AstraZeneca as an easy way to make money. They almost exclusively asked for male test subjects.

One of my female friends also wanted to earn money that way, and called them asking why. Their response was essentially that medical trials are very expensive, and men are a cheaper resource. I.e., women have ovaries and a set amount of eggs, and therefore would potentially be more adversely affected by complications from the experimental drugs, so the insurance was a lot more expensive.

> Many people rely on cars and, especially, utility vehicles for their livelihood and mobility. Slapping an extra tax on them without a viable alternative does not reduce emissions,

It is far from this simple.

In the 2010's when a barrel of oil jumped to over $110 USD and gas prices spiked, people drove less and changed their purchasing habits to favour smaller vehicles.

When the prices dropped, those behaviours reverted.

That natural experiment shows us that there are a wide range of adaptations people will engage in that allow them to adjust to higher fuel prices while lowering carbon emissions.

> it only makes people poorer.

And this is why well-designed carbon tax programs include rebate and subsidy mechanisms to help relieve the financial burden and support the transition to EVs.

We've also seen some governments shift their tax burdens around. e.g. lowering income tax and applying a carbon tax. This helps get more money back into peoples pockets while still sending a price signal that leads to a change in consumer behaviour.
I’ve had the same experience too.

A side project is interesting, shows initiative, and if it comes down to you and another otherwise equal candidate - it may well be the deciding factor in a hiring decision.

On top of that, hiring aside: the skills and expertise I’ve gained from a side project have been invaluable, and even for this reason alone I’d say it has been well worth it.
That's what I was paid in a high cost of living area. It taught me a lot about being broke and all the different types of leverage. E.g. if you can rent the 2bdrm in your name and then rent out a room you get more leverage. Too be honest I couldn't make the salary work and had to fund via credit cards and student loans as well.

I thought it was a scam that the university paid so low... that and their anti union activities.

Drugs are very much not liberalized in the Netherlands, even growing Marihuana is illegal.

We're just not arresting drug users, that's it. But it's still very much a criminal enterprise to create the stuff.
You are harmed by the drug trade. You live in a society where a totally unregulated industry allows bad people to get very rich and exercise illegitimate power through violence and corruption.

You live in a society where young people become addicts and rob and harm the people they love and then die prematurely.

> It's true that the rich emits more, it's true that the rich can adapt more easily, but in the end, the rich will also lose income because of a carbon tax. I'm not sure that "carbon inequality" is very high (even though air travel seems to really increase that carbon inequality).

Can you elaborate on this, and in particular on "rich emits more"? Do you mean per individual? If so, that may be the case, but absolute numbers matter more in this problem. The inequality is a social problem. Climate change does not care if the CO2 came from rich or from poor. I'm by no means trying to excuse the rich. What I'm saying is we should be careful to not distract ourselves from solving the actual problem here.
It was already out of favour in the early 80's, hence C.A.Hoare turing award speech against it in 1980, but then UNIX took over the world anyway, and the FOSS wave with GNU Manifesto helped to take it further.

We all benefit from global economic activity. Do you earnestly not believe that part of the capital generated in Brazil (and of course all of other parts or resource extraction across the planet) eventually ends up as a dollar in an investment fund that a VC is going to use to fund the countless startups that employ HNers? Where do you think all the capital that drives our economy comes from?

On top of that destruction of environments around the globe is what allows us to have such wonderfully cheap products here in the US (and Europe). Those cheap solar panels that everyone is excited about are because they're being built with energy from burning coal in China (the biggest factor in the price drop was going from minimal solar pv production in China to 80% today).

One of the best methods of estimating CO2 emissions at an individual level is dollars spend. Highly paid technical workers getting paid from and buying goods from Amazon.com have an indirect but real relationship to the destruction of the actual Amazon.

It is also worth noting that the HN community has aggressively flagged and remove many of the climate change article that have made it do the front page. I used to immediately upvote any articles I found and just wait to see how many minutes they would last.

Not that placing blame does anything to solve these issues, but collective blame is appropriate if you really look at the systemic nature of all of these problems.

The rule applies to new cars, fuel will still be sold after 2035. Of course, at some point gas stations will begin to close and the price will begin to rise, so there will be more incentive to buy a new car. Weigh that against the fact that EV fuel is much cheaper per mile than gas, EVs require less maintenance and that by 2035 will be cheaper upfront than a similar ICE car.

My usual metric is 3 years: only when I feel it has legs after that I continue a little bit. And by legs I mean that it has interested investors, breaks even or someone want to buy the company.

I have a project now that I started over 3 years ago and was completely dead until 2.5 years in about. An investor contacted me and said this is perfect timing (yeah, well, it was not 3 years ago... but it is how things go) and now he wants to jump full in: he started sending money as a token of trust.

We haven't legalized the production of drugs in the Netherlands, so our 'gedoogbeleid' does not help against organized crime. It does help on the health side of the debate though.
Down-voted. Twitter has built a platform which has allowed me, a nobody, to connect with people who are famous or experts in their field and directly interact with them. Earlier efforts to use e-mail had 0 success as most likely my mails would go to their spam.

It has allowed me to discover people who would find it very difficult to make themselves heard if there was no central platform where they could post their views and allow any random person on the internet to follow them. Using Twitter, I have discovered a lot of communities which I did not know even exist.

It is probably the only useful platform in existence today. Just because some people use it for hate means nothing to me.

It's another point to negotiate.

At my last company, I listed a bunch of things as my prior inventions and got explicit approval that I could continue working on them. Then I pushed to expand that to being able to work on any project that wasn't competitive to my current role/projects. I framed it as "this is one of the ways I learn new things and bring useful concepts into this role" and have had zero pushback.

My message to the 20, 30, 40 years olds currently living their comfortable life in the West:

You are currently enjoying what is an unprecedented apex of progress, wealth, security, and wellbeing of the Western society which only been there for a mere 40-30 years.

On a reasonably modern historical scale, it's very uncommon not only for the West, but much of other countries in the world.

It's hard for you to fathom a life other than this. You take it as something given, while it isn't.

Bad times can come back.
Not only are your examples UK-centric, they are also Sikh-centric.

Your first example was a British Christian woman wearing a visible cross "so that other people will know that Jesus loves them." Wearing a cross this way is not a requirement of Christian faith. And a company can prohibit employees from proselytizing, even if that is part of their faith.

Your second example, a Norwegian Christian woman, wore a cross for fashion reasons, not religious reasons. It doesn't seem relevant.

The only other non-Sikh example was that Irish passport photo guideline "You can wear a head covering for religious or medical reasons."

You have a problem with this because .... why? Passports are international documents. It would surely be odd if a Philippine Catholic nun, or American Hutterite woman (as two Christian faiths that require headgear) were allowed entry into Ireland when an Irish Catholic nun or Jewish man aren't allowed their photograph with veil or kippah, respectively.

As you correctly point out, many places have been blown up "for religious reasons". This includes blowing things up in the name of Christianity.

By your logic, you should therefore agree with the first two rulings.

Even small-scale is illegal. We are not as liberal as our reputation. The conservative and christian parties have been in power for several decades now, and drug policies have only become less liberal under their governance.

Ironically, some of the US states are now among the most liberal and forward-thinking in the West - the Dutch are becoming more and more backwards (I live there).

Its a good idea to offer an alternative download for your app on your website for authenticated users. The users will have to uninstall the app to side load your private version but with a small user base this is manageable.

I got caught a bit last year when I released a version that had a terrible bug in it, then google play were taking 7 days to review apps due to covid.

I wish there was a way to make your private app the same as the google play app so it didn't require uninstallation despite being signed with the same key, but that results in an installation error.

I am sure google have some handwavy security fable around why this doesn't work, but their processes can be a massive risk to your business and you need to manage it somehow, so uninstall and sideload is unfortunately all that is possible.

I don't know anyone that thinks that reducing is the solution. But, as our technology is, for now, it is part of the solution.

The hierarchy of the three R's is 1) reduce 2) re-use 3) recycle. That's for a reason. No need to manage consumption that never took place. Like the agile mantra, maximise the work not done.

There are several reasons why people focus on flying:

- 2% globally, but distributed very unequally over population
- much of flying can be prevented, most of it is elected (you can video conf that meeting or go on holiday locally, you can't not heat your house)
- flights are trending up, when we should be trending down (and are managing in other areas)
