Mining booms don’t tend to have longevity, leaving behind a broken town and damaged environment.

And With an international mining company, The wealth isn’t staying local or even likely in America.

And as tax payers, the public is getting shafted too. If the lease actually had American tax payers seeing a fair share in return for their land being damaged and the wealth used up, and there was also an amenable compromise with the native Americans for whom that site is sacred, then yeah it could be okay even if it would be temporary jobs.
I'd hazard to guess that some scifi writer had writtern about this even earlier. Why is it a surprise that a guy who sold personal computers in the age of personal internet access envisioned ecommerce, remote work etc?
Resource use is still lower at higher density, across all of the axes you’re discussing. Most of the water usage in western states is for farming, not individual use. It is vastly less resource-intensive to get water to someone living in downtown San Francisco in a condo than to get them water in Phoenix in a house - and that’s very commonly the trade here.

Overcrowding is a word that doesn’t really mean anything. No Western US city is nearly as dense as most of the major cities in the world.

When you say infinite economic growth and density, in the same sentence, I think you are ascribing a bunch of values that aren’t really related to density. To get to a steady state of resource use would require us to live in far higher density than we do today.

While all of these seem on their face to be good faith arguments, and you certainly employ them in good faith!, they have relatively easy answers, and yet they are propagating the same way all misinformation does.

For reference "Differential & Integral Calculus" by N Piskunov (Two volumes) [ https://www.amazon.in/Differential-Integral-Calculus-Vol-Pis... ] are very dear to me and have taught me quite a lot.

They are good enough that with a companion algebra book, one can self learn Calculus to quite an advanced level.

Sorry, I figured doctor prescriptions were not included. My view is that they should be a controlled substance, the way they are now. You'd have to show amazing cognitive effects for an illness to legalize it for prescription. I don't know the science here though.

By 'absolute ban' I mean they should be controlled, and classified as an illegal drug. This is not something people should self-medicate. Those using without a prescription or worse, distributing, should be jailed.

That solution is absolutely horrible. Now you’re asking a moderator to decide what has merit and what does not. Who are they to decide? If I down vote something, I don’t want someone coming behind me and saying you know what this down vote doesn’t have merit, so I’m going to ban him. Imagine if we did that in the workplace. Your disagreement doesn’t have merit so I’m going to exclude you from now on from these meetings. The older I get the more I feel that the people who are upset about their comments getting down voted, somehow need their opinions validated, or maybe it’s anxiety, but there’s something deeper going on beyond just a comment on a message board. What you’re suggesting is completely counter to a democratic society.

> But even if psychedelics were a causative risk in some mental disorders, shouldn't we as a society entrust adults to determine their own risk tolerance

No, because such allowances are made with the assumption that people act reasonably. GK Chesterton said we should tolerate all thoughts except for the thought that stops thought. We can tolerate all kinds of insane thoughts. The only thought we cannot tolerate is the thought (the will to take LSD for 'fun') that has the potential to stop all thought. LSD, and other psychedelics, cause the breakdown of rationality that is the very reason we allow adults to make their own decisions. It is completely incoherent to allow LSD while also using adult cognitive skills as the basis of adult freedom.

Everything is political now. Remember a year ago when you couldn’t wear a red hat in public without fear of someone attacking you physically? People are being canceled, fired from their jobs, ostracized in their communities, because they dared to have an opinion that differed from the mob. It’s all political now, and there’s not much we can talk about that someone isn’t going to try to make it political.

Some managers where I work tried to pressure people to have their cameras on. It was later implied this was based on personal assumptions about what the "big boss" preferred.

Google Ads is so deep into tracking that it defeats its own purpose.

I search for Product A on Google or Amazon and am immediately inundated with ads for the same product on every page I go that has Google ads

What is worse is that the ads continue even after I purchase the product / service. So I get ads for a mobile phone I searched for and bought in Amazon (and all its accessories) for months after I have already purchased it.

My mind automatically ignores every ad.
Yeah thats why I said to use it!

Good grief. I don't even have to click on that to know you've misinterpreted or the paper is garbage. We've measured 600k US deaths (with a real count somewhat higher, excess death metrics usually overshoot that by 20-30%)? You'd need 400M+ Americans to even make that work. What's the contention here, magic unmeasured multiple infections? People dying more than once?
Thanks. For sure. Please send me a Hi on aditya@getswipe.in and we can take it up from there.
I suspect that (knowing how paranoid delusions work as I observe in my daughter - and also, how I process anxiety); that the anxiety is often triggered as a physiological reaction, a hormonal signal that physically jacks up your heart-rate, and adrenaline. This sensation is often processed as fear. And our intellectual coping mechanism for fear, is to try to UNDERSTAND it, to figure out if there's any action that should be taken to prevent harm. And in the absence of any apparent rational explanation for the fear, the mind MANUFACTURES a rationalization. Sometimes it's a completely silly nonsense rationalization. But if it relieves the fear somewhat, (not the anxiety), it becomes an adequate coping mechanism. A healthier coping mechanism is when something triggers inside that helps you to realize that what's happening is a physiological reaction, and there's no actual real reason to be anxious. You can still come up with a silly rationalization, but you will realize that it's not real. I think that's the hairline that separates insanity from a person who's just having a hard time coping with an anxiety attack.

The fed has a dual mandate to provide full employment and economic stability. If the Fed’s policy caused mass bankruptcies.. then the Fed would be failing part of its mandate.

IMO the scary part of this for the fed is housing. Housing is appreciating to substantial multiples of incomes due to low interest rates and restricted supply. If the FED raised rates and crushed the housing market the majority of Americans will feel the pain.

I'm only speaking for myself but I need to go back to the office. I have hobbies and friends, but most of my friends are busy with their kids as I am with mine, my hobbies are solitary and to be blunt, I miss the social aspect of the office and co-workers that frankly are also my friends with whom I can have fun conversations at lunch, coffee breaks with and such. I've actually entered a bit of a depression and I think that it's from working from home. I know my sentiments are not those of the majority, or at least if we are, we're not vocal about it. Also my cat stares at me all day.
Life went on after the Great Depression, but it left its mark on the people who lived through it. Isn't that kind of a cliche?

The US has mostly escaped things that affected people more in other countries, like, say, WWI and WWII. So to some extent, I think saying "you'll get over it" is assuming the US will continue to be fortunate.

If you don't believe in divine providence looking over "fools, drunks, and the USA", it's not logical to count on it in the future.

TheRegister gives more details [0], including this very important snippet:

> The standards specify energy consumption targets that cover four non-active usage modes – short-idle, long-idle, sleep and off-modes

So, the PCs can take bajillion kilowatts when actively used.. but when idle, they should not take much power at all. This may be pretty reasonable requirement, depending on definition of the "idle".

On the other hand, "100 kWh per year" is just 11 watt continuous -- if this is "power off" mode, this is OK, but if it is some sort of 0% CPU usage then this seems too little, unless PCs suddenly became very good at power savings.

So many absolutist opinions on remote work, but as someone who spent years doing both before the pandemic, I can say with some authority that there are pros and cons—it's not a one-size-fits-all thing. The biggest barrier was companies willing to go all in, as mixed on-site/remote meetings are terrible. So now that the we've broken the ice on this, the market will sort it out. Basically we're going to see a bunch of remote first companies dominate the war for talent, and we'll see some companies leveraging the strength of still being in-person. But individuals will have much more freedom to find a working arrangement that suits them. The landscape will shift in aggregate as a result of where this balances out, not as a result of arrogant op-ed writers who think they know what's right for everyone.

That just shows a lack of understanding on your part. There is a human being on the other side with the same feelings and subjective experiences as in person.

You may argue that team and culture is reinforced by doing activities that intrinsically require you to be in person (e.g. board game, sports etc.)

But I don’t quite follow why you absolutely need to be in person to find mentoring someone worthwhile.
moricons.dll (and a lot of the stuff you'll find in shell32.dll and elsewhere) is a compatibility relic; those icons are no longer used by Windows itself. There are still some lingering old icons in the UI, though.

Also, many of the DOS applications with icons in moricons.dll probably still run in 32-bit Windows 10. NTVDM and DOS application support don't exist in 64-bit Windows, but they're still alive and well in 32-bit Windows (albeit an optional install, because MS would really rather people not still be using DOS applications in 2021).
The regulation being discussed is fair and stable and applies to everyone equally. Most appliances in your house are energy regulated; it's actually odd that computers are not. So, if anything you're arguing for the regulations discussed.

"Letting the market decide" is not a form of regulation.

Learning in India is a misnomer. You don't learn, you cram up. I had an economics teacher who explained the concepts of economics, then she went on pregnancy leave. The replacement teacher came to the class everyday and literally dictated the stuff that we were supposed to note down. Exam time - kids got better marks with the new teacher. Guess who got to brag about being a good teacher.
Though I agree that new is not necessarily better, and programmers should absolutely try to stratch their own itch with the existing tools (bash, sed, awk and the likes), some new tools are a great improvement and should be granted as such when due.

FZF, for instance, is a major novelty in terms of interface, and it really follows the UNIX philosophy and shows immense composability.
Well Apple engineering involves (for some divisions) access to exorbitantly expensive capitalized equipment.

WFH for folks in engineering labs with millions of dollars of shared instruments doesn't make sense.

That was the fundamental reality inside Apple engineering that I lived, anyway: the millions of dollars of instruments for digital design and test can't be repurchased per engineer.
You know, you make a good point.

I think the problem with your argument is equating the covid vaccine to medical experimentation as considered in the Nuremberg Code. That code was written as the result of the Nazi experimentation of human subjects.
The covid vaccine is technically experimental under the FDA definition only because it hasn't received full approval yet, but it has already gone through trials that (to some extent) have proved its safety. I don't think "medical experiment" has used in the code is the same as in the case of the covid vaccine as of today.
I'm curious about the vocal disdain for 'managers' here at HN. I know it's just a subset of folks voicing these opinions but I'm intrigued by the level of vitriol and consistency of the message.

I've been filing taxes since 1988 and I've only had one or two managers that I would say are truly incompetent. I would say most of my managers have rusty but relevant technical skills, have been open to my input, are generally willing to negotiate through disagreements and, my favorite, leave me alone. I've had a handful of legendary managers, a word I am tempted to put in quotes because they inspired me, helped me grow, and left me in a much better state than they found me.

Having managed multiple teams myself, it can be a fuckin' slog. There have always been one or two extremely high maintenance people on the team, conflicts to resolve, bullshit HR stuff to take care of, commitments to defend, bullshit to block, misses to explain and some amount of time tending to vestigial organizational dependencies that somehow are impossible to shake. And that's without immigration to deal with...that's an entire mess of its own.

That is all in addition to actually developing some type of relationship with each member of the team. Trying to get a feel for their communication style, pull(!) out from them some idea of what they see on the horizon, continuously observe their interaction with the team and overall performance at their job. Look for recommendations to help them improve in areas that need it and then run that through what you've learned about them in order to deliver it in a way in which they will be receptive. Mine progress for evidence of efforts from the underrecognized and let them know they are seen.
Plan for promos when the time is right, begin evangelizing your employee early on, work on promo package with them, mine your network for support as you educate your employee on what is needed to get it done.

Then you have the periodic dumpster fires that 99% of the time are entirely avoidable. Intra and inter-team fights, liars and cowboys breaking shit, last minute disclosures of untenable delivery gaps, HR-issues, extra curricular issues, etc.

It's not a particularly easy job and I would say that the combination of technical and interpersonal skills that would be required to meet expectations I see voiced here and elsewhere are in extremely limited supply. I know I have and will continue to fall short of that standard many times.

Dunno, maybe I've just been lucky.
Seems like there might be another way forward, one in which we all muddle along with an ongoing pandemic that doesn't wipe us out but keeps evolving and infecting and killing significant numbers of people. We continue opening and closing economies, rushing out experimental vaccines, and begin seeing larger numbers of long term effects of the disease and attempts to mitigate it.
I think fzf is still a useful recommendation (better fuzzy matching for Ctrl-R). Or just Ctrl-R for reverse search in bash/zsh is a good thing to know.
