> It's a much smaller step from 2 to 10 than from 1 to 2.

But here, you're already starting with 2: C and assembly. Besides inline assembly, a small but very important part of the Linux kernel is written in assembly on every architecture: the system call entry point (entry.S) and the kernel entry point (head.S). And if you consider each architecture's assembly as a separate language, it's more like 10 languages than 2 languages. I'm always impressed whenever I see changes to for instance signal handling or thread flags which touch not only the common code in C, but also the entry point assembly code for each one of the many architectures Linux supports; whoever does these changes need to not only know the assembly language for all these architectures, but also have at hand all the corresponding tooling and emulators to compile and test the changes.
At my former job, we lost excellent team members because of location-based pay adjustments, and it hurt every time. The person would decide to move to a different city (or country), they’d be told they were getting a pay cut, and they’d look for (and find) a new job instead. Often they wouldn’t even bother negotiating. I can’t blame them, it’s just rough, even a little humiliating.

When you have an employee who is performing well and wants to move cities and you cut their pay, you’re basically telling them one or more of:
- I don’t trust that you’ll do a good job remotely/in your new location/timezone, so I’ll pay you less.
- I value remote work less than in person, so I’ll pay you less.
- I am paying less or intend to pay less in the future people in your new location, so I have to pay you less too so that it’s “fair” to the other employees in that location.

In short, you’re giving the employee an really big push to shop around for other jobs, and that never ends well for the company. As an employer, why take the risk?

And that’s looking at the case of an existing employee who is moving. But even with new hires, I’ve been told all kinds of bogus reasons for why it’s the best (or only!) system, when there is only one reason, and that is saving money. Same reason companies have their customer support in Philippines or their sneaker factories in East Asia. Leveraging differences in market prices in a global environment. But it’s just cold economics, it has nothing to do with fairness.
That’s up to the people occupying California at the time.

Humanity is doomed. I’m not saying we should accelerate it by leaning into YOLO.

But along with accepting our own personal mortality we might consider it’s time to socially accept our species mortality.

We don’t need to solve this problem right now and any work towards a solution isn’t guaranteed to last beyond our lifetimes, for numerous reasons outside our control.

Science provides the best model for understanding what economic activity our environment can sustain. Maybe it’s time to be the exceptional and gritty people we tell stories about being and rather than solve California’s eventual problem, try to hold it off by reducing or eliminating markets for bullshit.

Or we can pretend we’ll engineer our way out of a problem we have no idea how much time we really have to solve and cross our fingers like it’s a football game and feudal market economics thinking we’re simulating chaotic reality when it’s obvious political collusion and protectionism are occurring.

I wonder which way we’ll go

Maybe in your imaginary utopia but property rights and land ownership are fundamental freedoms in the West.
Observation: China, a few years back. The train system has been going from a paper ticket approach to a ID-based approach. (You've had to show ID to buy the paper tickets anyway.) They also work on a system where you scan your ticket upon leaving, also--it catches someone who rides further than they paid for.

At the time some cities were fully converted and were willing to accept (with some difficulty, the scanners were picky!) our passports others only had the local ID readers. (The local ID has embedded RFID, you just touch it to the scanner plate and the gate opens.) However, others were not--a couple of times security simply let us out without doing any sort of check.

Depends how licenses are going to work and how corrupt government is. There is a space in the market for everyone, unless regulation makes certain ways unprofitable. What I am trying to say is that they'll find for sure customers willing to pay for premium outdoor growing organic 70s cannabis.
Really fantastic news; their previous rules were allowing only local, concentrate/edibles. There was loads of excess flower biomass.

Colombia (Ecuador, Peru) have been more open to regulated cannabis. It's pretty exciting to watch the change.

Across Africa things are changing as well. The southen part is already seeing mutli-nation companies forming and pushing those governments to allow exporting of cannabis.

It took a farily concerted BigCo effort to make cannabis illegal all over this planet -- glad we're finally moving back in the right direction.
IMO Musk is more like if Ronald Wayne had joined late and started being called founder through a lawuit settlement over something bad he had done, then took over and bailed out his cousin's company he had a financial interest in using a fraudulent merger.

Not sure why the hyperbolic headline, when the article itself just says, paraphrasing, "there might not be any causal relationship between schools being open and suicide attempts, and that goes against the prevailing anti-closing narrative".
> proposed phasing out internal combustion engines by 2035.

Has there been any discussion about the impact of EVs on less wealthy people on the basis of their lifecycle cashflow due to battery replacement?

My partner got a very inexpensive used Nissan leaf a couple years back, with us full in the understanding that we would need to replace the battery in a couple years, we priced the battery out at the time and were happy with it.

Come time to replace it earlier this year we found that Nissan had substantially increased the replacement battery cost, so much so that for the price of the replacement we could get a much newer used leaf for less. Worse, the replacement was still just the original battery with limited range (about 80mi).

Fortunately, we found that with some hacks it was possible to replace the battery with a newer model year one and managed to get double the range for about the amount we originally expected to spend on the battery, so that ultimately worked out.

But I think back to the first car I bought-- which was $800 (back in the 90s, so maybe $1400 in today-dollars), and then I just had to spend incrementally on gas and maintenance. The car served me fine for many years.

Back then having to make a periodic outlay of thousands of dollars at a time would have been ruinous for me. (Whatever maintenance costs I might get surprised with wouldn't be worse than whatever it cost to just replace the whole car with another similar one.)

So even though an EV could deliver better $/mile the greater portion of the operating costs showing up as big battery replacement costs seems like it will create serious cash-flow problems for people who aren't wealthy. This might also increase their dependency on usurious-rate financing, and harm their economic mobility.

I haven't really seen any discussion of EV cash-flow lifecycle, anyone have any pointers?

I think it's market effects and nothing else. Schools teach first and foremost the skills that are easily employable. Hence why most schools teach either Java or JavaScript these days. Whether or not something is nice to read (btw, what does this even mean? Your lack of experience is not an indication of how "easy to read" something is) has pretty much nothing to do with it. I hope this is not the attitude you teach children with, because if you think something you do not understand is by default ugly, you have bigger problems than my small blog post.

I also do not write my blog for children to read. In fact, I don't even have a target audience - it's all "I had a problem and this is how I solved it", and perhap some Clojurian finds my posts on Google and finds it interesting. I certainly know there are Lisp-likers here on HN, as well.

> The figure you quote, aggregated at the global level, entirely results from a comparison of city lifestyle with pre-industrial countryside lifestyles in developing countries.

Literally pre-industrial [1]. Last numbers I saw from the UN estimated 2 billion subsistence farmers as of 2015, all living without the benefit of modern agriculture except the occasional bag of fertilizer or engineered seeds. The future is very unevenly distributed.

Well, that's not necessarily true for current existing documents that are already available. I believe they're pinned on IPFS nodes, and so are available through IPFS. So if you did clone their front end and index you should be able to continue operating the system, at least with current availability.

What would be nice would be a distributed table that functions as an index specifically for these documents, that way researchers with access could pin to IPFS themselves and add the keywords and content hash to the table. This would be basically unstoppable.
My guess is this has something to do with the Mapillary API updates. Whilst v3 is still active (shutdown is mid-Aug), all my OAuth applications we're nuked by Mapillary last month which caused me a similar (authentication) issue.
I don't know about commercial, but a few years ago it seemed half or more of the new construction condos sat empty because they were investment speculation, foreign investment/hiding, and other real estate shenanigans.

The Persians were just as much descended from Indo-Europeans as the Greeks were and they were squarely in the Near East by any Greek account. If anything Indo-European ancestry is what can point out commonalities rather than be a source of categorical division.
I'm not quite sure I see the difference.

You pass a law:

- Requiring vaccinations, or a $800 fine

- Permitting private venues to verify vaccination status by looking at vaccine cards (e.g. employers, concerts, etc.)

- Make it a crime to forge vaccine cards

- International travel already has yellow vaccine books, and it's well-established to check vaccines upon entry to/from high-risk countries

You don't implement any infrastructure to track vaccinations. I show my vaccine card when I enter a concert, same as I do when ordering alcohol. No one records anything.

The bar for intentionally breaking laws is much higher than not getting a vaccine. I think most people will follow laws voluntarily. Most of the ones who don't follow the law won't get caught, but a few will.

> Not really, Norway reducing Oil production will most likely not affect the climate change, it might even make it worse due to less environmental friendly produced Oil and much less reinvestment of Oil money into trying to reduce the Oil consumption.

I find it interesting, this argument of "If we don't do it, someone else will." It can be used to justify any kind of unethical activities, from arms trade to factory farming, and somehow in that logic the Norwegian oil becomes friendly for the environment.

The article's comparison is only an "absurdly extrema leap of logic" if you buy into that kind of magical thinking that can make responsibility disappear.

Imagine me grabbing your wallet out of your pocket and arguing: "If I didn't steal your wallet, someone else would've done it, and they would've been far less polite about it than me, so in the end you're better off with letting me keep it." I guess you'd be okay with that.
Ok, but why not just say that then? Even “zinc lobby” would have been better.
This is one of my main arguments for why we need to fill the gap of both turnkey disk arrays and data replication. Family photos, especially of kids, should not have to be in Instagram or Facebook, if you have three members of the extended family with any basic technical chops at all. You should be able to self host a triply redundant copies of the family photos, complete with bandwidth aggregation.

People in my parents’ generation all have stories of some grandma’s house fire eating the family hoard of photos, including the only copies of Great Grandpa Frank as a child. We don’t want Uncle Steve losing those pictures just because his house is in the 100 year flood plain.

The argument is pretty thin, but it seems to go like this: Penrose and Hameroff have speculated that specifically quantum effects (i.e. those for which classical physics does not give a close approximation), arising within supposedly fractal structures of neurons, may be necessary to explain consciousness. The experiment demonstrates some specifically quantum effects in a fractal structure. This, therefore, can be seen as supporting evidence for the Penrose-Hamerof hypothesis, but only for an uncontested part. No advance in understanding consciousness has been made here.

Everything is obvious once you know the secret. This went under patent protection in 2000, which is decades into the hunt for PV improvements and decades into gallium doping silicon substrate (which started in the 50s at the dawn of transistors.) Papers from the early 2000s talk about this improvement and about open questions regarding the cell lifetime and mixing gallium and germanium ratios, so it does not appear to be as obvious as you suggest.

“ In writing this, I have found the surprising reverse correlation between suicidal behavior and time spent in school—both prior to the Covid-19 pandemic and during it—gnawing at me. Could it be that the pressures around school itself are among the most important stressors related to suicidality among teens? If that’s so, the underlying reasons could be related either to academic or social pressures. Regardless, no one would argue that we should do away with in-person learning just because more time spent in the classroom appears to be associated with increased rates of attempted or completed suicide.”

One could argue that in person schooling should be an option moving forward.

I think the law (generally in western countries) gives you some liberty to express how you disagree with it.

The issue with having as you mention guidelines in line with the law, is that it prevents people discussing it. Which is an absolute necessity for lively democracies.

You're going to tell me that you can discuss the law without breaking it. But that's a very debatable point. Generally the law moves because of pressions from interest groups that would be beneficiary from a change. So banning them would in effect ban the most vocal proponents of changes and those that really understand the fine details and issues and that can meaningfully make the debate progress.
