Side note, a good portion of the HN crowd has turned its back on crypto. Honestly this site doesn't feel like it used too, there is very little hacker spirit around anymore.. mostly rigid-minded corporate types finding ways to rationalize their defeatism or enable their escapism.

> All I did was comment and say, "Hey, we did this and it worked for us" and you replied with the equivalent of "Go fuck yourself, I don't want to hear it"

No, that's absolutely not all you did. You said:

> A bit personal maybe, but my wife has never been on birth control, we don't use protection, and have never had an "oops" baby. We had kids when we wanted kids, and haven't had kids when we didn't want kids.

> It's really just... not that hard...

Do you see the part where you went from "Hey, we did this and it worked for us" to "Therefore everyone else for whom this doesn't work is stupid/incompetent?"

And then you doubled down by accusing everyone who doesn't think what you do of ignorance and hubris:

> I personally think it is a sign of modern hubris to assume that effective family planning didn't exist prior to 1960s and the advent of birth control.

So if you'd like to admit you crossed the line and adjust what you said to, "Hey, we did this and it worked for us", great, that's a much more reasonable thing to say than what you actually said. But everyone reading this exchange can see that's not what you actually originally said.

And I was entirely justified in comparing what you actually said to faith healing, because at a societal level teaching people non-contraceptive means of birth control has historically been about as useful as faith healing.

I'm emphasizing at a societal level because you left that out when you quoted me. Please at the very least when you quote me, quote full sentences: you're only quoting me out of context to try to twist what I said.

You don't get to rewrite history so you can play the victim here.

Just look at the difference in taxes on salary between France and the US. Half of what is payed by employers to workers goes to social protection (this is in addition to the company taxes). If you add VAT and income taxes the amount of disposable money is a fraction of what you would get in the US, nothing magic.

Good for them. It's called unemployment insurance for a reason. I could pay my whole life for the insurance and never cash in. If given the opportunity, I would extract every cent out of it I can. I would rather slowly look for a job than jump at the first mediocre/underpaying opportunity.

Note that the question was basically "which of the following influenced your decision to turn down a job offer", not "what was the primary reason you turned down a job offer."

Respondents could select more than one reason; it could be that many of these people had a more important reason for turning down the job like "child care obligations" or "the job didn't offer enough hours of work", but also selected "I receive enough money from unemployment" because that was one of the secondary factors they considered.

They also only polled 463 people and are extrapolating the 1.8 million number based on the fact that 13% (~60 people) included "unemployment insurance" as one of the factors that influenced their decision.

as others have noted, the house stuff is wrong.

- compound interest should be the default.

- when asked rent and house expenses as a percentage, is it a percentage of initial cost? current value? future value? It doesn't really make sense as a percentage. I don't charge a tenant X% of my cost, I charge market rate which may be more, or less than my actual expenses.

- same for taxes. it's a nearly fixed amount that increases over time, but trying to do it as a % calculation of actual dollars is often incorrect because that's not how it's calculated in real life.

Exactly. There's no reason to suspect this number is being over-reported, but it's very reasonable to expect hesitancy (both to polling in general and this type of polling specifically).
That's fine as long as you are willing to forgo the benefits of the things that other people have collectively paid for.

If you want to opt out of taxation you should surely also be morally obliged to opt out of using roads, internet, mobile telephones, clean water, sewerage, police, fire brigades, etc.

I know that it is possible to opt out of fire services in rural US but most of the rest might put a bit of a crimp in your lifestyle.
The is interesting!
That number was 13%, and that was the #3 reason

The largest groupd said child care, followed by COVID, and 4th was health limitations are keeping them off.

Also almost as many (at #5) said "I was not given enough money to return to work", which feels like the same thing?

And way, way more people had other reasons like "didn't allow remore work" and "required too many hours" (which also kind of feels the same?)
Sorry but I can't say I agree. Cannabis has a noticeable effect on intelligence and cognition. This is scientific fact.

It's not just about ordering, but well-ordering. Which says not just that you can put them in order, but that you can put them in order with a first element (one that's always less than all of the others).

So you can have a set like "all real numbers greater than 0". It doesn't have an obvious first element, even though you can always compare any two numbers and say "this one is less than that one".

There may be a non-obvious first element, i.e. some strategy for picking a first element that applies to all sets. That's the Well-Ordering Principle. Which feels false to most mathematicians, but it's equivalent to the Axiom of Choice, which feels true.

What percentage of the total currently unemployed population is the 1.8m in this headline? I know there are various ways to measure unemployment in the US. I wonder which unemployment classification group they come from.

* U-1 Persons unemployed 15 weeks or longer, as a percent of the civilian labor force

* U-2 Job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs, as a percent of the civilian labor force

* U-3 Total unemployed, as a percent of the civilian labor force (official unemployment rate)

* U-4 Total unemployed plus discouraged workers, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus discouraged workers

* U-5 Total unemployed, plus discouraged workers, plus all other persons marginally attached to the labor force, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force

* U-6 Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force

You're really not if it's in a forest. It decomposes, and lots of other plants start growing from it, including other trees.

CO2 from a forest isn't really something we need to worry about. A 25 year old maple will sequester 400 pounds of co2 in it's lifetime. It can't emit more than that over the years that it decomposes. An average commuter car will emit that in 2 weeks. That's what we need to worry about.

I'm really not sure why you think a blanket prohibition would be more difficult than taxation. If we can define what advertising is well enough to tax it, then we can define what advertising is well enough to ban it. Arguing for taxes versus fines is almost semantic--but I think there's a social element where things which are taxed rather than fined are "normal".
> Nobody is arguing its "purely" caused by climate change

The article definitely takes that position, at least implicitly. Half of the text is about climate change.
This is not a good thing. The government (funded by tax payers who work and produce) is paying people while they are not producing to the economy. Someone pays for this, through taxes and lowered value of the dollar/purchase power for those who do work. There is no free lunch.

Also - you say 2 million is OK... what if it were 20 mil, 200 mil who got paid while not working. Who would pay for this?
I clung to my AirPort Extreme for years, and then an Eero Pro 5 almost 10x’d my peak bandwidth. I felt like an idiot for not changing sooner. A set of three is like ~$250 on eBay now. I don’t think the 6’s are necessary unless you have/need a 500MB/s connection.
It's technically a different thing because this attempted coup was domestic, and I don't think the whattaboutism accomplishes much... there's no hypocritical rhetoric in the thread you're replying to.

The US has certainly inflicted coups abroad, and I also disagree with those... but I suspect you weren't commenting to get my opinion on the matter.
I don't get the following quote:

> The main idea of the non-compete agreement is that employers want to stop people from walking off the job and taking trade secrets to rival companies. If companies weren’t able to secure those protections, they’d need to pay lower salaries, and we’d all be worse off.

If employers lack such "protections" (i.e. non-competes), wouldn't they need to pay a higher salary, so that their workers are not poached by rival companies?
Suddenly workers have leverage and corps don't know what to do about it. That's why I think a UBI would be a good idea. It would give leverage to individual workers without a union, now that unions are so weak.
Or maybe that is a more convenient answer compared to "all the jobs I tried/can get pay like shit". To be clear, I'm all for remote work.
> The US backed a coup that put Fulgencio Batista in power
Source? Not even Cuban propaganda have said that ever, read a little bit of history.
What the underpayment of the lower end of the workforce signals to me is that we have a massive amount of unrealized inflation coming in. Clearly we have to adjust wages up and that’s the consequence, adding to the fact that the way official inflation/CPI numbers are calculated seems to keep them artificially low.

I was just talking to someone about their father in the 70s having two cars, a 3 BR middle class house, and annual vacations as a postman. The bottom has dropped out of the buying power of American wages in the last 50 years.

I wonder if somewhat incorrectly calling it a benefit is part of the reason it's so controversial. It's insurance, not a handout. Are people not going to call their car insurance if in a wreck? Are people not going to use their home insurance if someone breaks in and robs some expensive item? Use what you pay for, people! This goes for public utilities. Go to your library. Call your representative. Sign up for food stamps. Demand better roads. This is your stuff you pay for.

I would guess the deeper reason is that the sky is blue. That makes it more useful to have good vision in red and green.

If we needed good resolution everywhere, we might have had eyes optimizing for different colors, four eyes, etc.

Also, it isn’t as simple as this article describes. The human eye can vary its focal distance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(eye)) over a larger range than the effect of color aberration, so the eye _could_ optimize for having optimal focus for blue light or vary that over time.

The link you provided says this website lists some studies which don't meet its methodological standards. I understand that can be problematic, but that doesn't make them 'spam' sites.

What is your source for the 1 billion estimate? Because that seems completely, non-credibly *low* to me.

The point is to use regulation to preemptively prevent the proliferation of the infrastructure and tools that will be used to overthrow you.

So long as you do it on their terms. And their terms include barriers to entry which tend to prevent the parts of society with the least to use from participating.

If there's not a bunch of people with little to lose sitting around with the means to revolt it's much less likely that there will be a revolt. And making sure people don't have the means is a lot easier than making sure people have something to lose.
Looking forward, that may change. The two new consoles have shipped a pipeline that allows the GPU to read directly from storage, and the same pipeline will be shipping to Windows 11.

This is how the game of capitalism is played. Workers sell their labor to employers based on who is bidding the highest. If the government is paying better than employers, people will and should go with that. If employers need more labor, they need to pay better. Simple as that.

Business owners (who are usually ardent capitalists) will whine about how that's not fair and sprinkle in some nonsense about how good hard work is. To them I say, "If this is the game you wanna play, then play it."
