The problem I see is that wildlife don't pay property tax.

It seems more and more trees are being torn down in my city to make way for new buildings—houses, stores, etc. And I thought about why it might be happening and I stumbled on the idea that buildings increase property value, property value increases property tax, cities (in the US) often run on property tax.

Perhaps some wildlife areas can have economic value, such as tourism, but I struggle to see how leaving certain places wild and untouched fits with the incentive of property tax.

Any suggestions?
> or at the very least, there should be a waiting period before you can comment.

That wouldn't work that well for sites like this one where reading doesn't require an account. The moment one wants to create an account will most probably be the moment one wants to reply to a post or comment with a salient point; making it impossible to reply unless the account was created with forethought would just lead to the account never being created in the first place ("I would create an account to reply to this, but even if I create an account I cannot reply, so why bother?").
Not in all cultures. When I work with some I need to "hello", "hi", "how are you" and so on for small talk before we get down to business. Some people are down to business, some will decide you are impolite for not making small talk first. This type of thing is important when you have international conversations.
Toyota has radar and ultrasonics and I’ve been perfectly satisfied with the number of bells going off alerting me of cross traffic and pedestrians. The PCS has stopped by from rear ending someone in traffic but will grant that it waits til the last minute, but I chose a car whose automation is based on informing me and saving my ass vs taking control of all the decisions like a Tesla

edit: also most Toyotas are not in the price bracket of 8-camera vehicles but all the safety equipment is standard, so I might argue Toyota is doing more for public safety by making these systems affordable, whereas tesla is making the public less safe by beta testing self driving software on city streets.
The completely serious answer is that some have turned this into a religion. GPL software is simply impure to them, so they won't touch it.

Oh well.
The rav4 Prime is sufficient at nearly 50 miles of electric range, but it sucks that it took 2 decades to get there when even GM had the technology basically perfected a decade ago with the Volt.

It’s literally better than their hydrogen vehicles. Even if you had to synthesize the small amount of gasoline they might use.

Longer range plug in hybrids plus electrically synthesized liquids beat pure hydrogen vehicles in cost, refueling ease, and overall emissions.
No idea how Android does it but Apple has recently moved message parsing and preview generation into a heavily sandboxed process.
I am not surprised at all. Technical debt, periodic refactors or security analyses are very low on the list of things that get rewarded, and shiny new projects are high. That's until a security incident takes place, then people are reprimanded and things will be okay for a month or two.

Until that's fixed, things like this will keep being commonplace.

I think it should be required that when a person downvotes a post or comment, they should need to supply a comment as to why. That would have multiple benefits. One, it is maddening to make a comment in earnest and get downvoted but no feedback why it was downvoted. Two, it would reduce the number of people who downvote a comment simply because they disagree as they would have to expose their own opinion and risk their own downvotes.

I have no problems with people disagreeing with me and it can be enlightening if I learn something from the exchange. With a naked downvote I learn nothing.

Most people could not live their daily life without a Google/Facebook/Apple account. In social media has become the de facto place to reach and be reached by government officials and the information there is more up to date and well organized and targeted. For all practical purposes they are public utilities.

Also the owner of Wired is Advance, which own Reddit. They have a vested interest in not seeing that kind of legislation pass.

You often have to build a domain reputation first. Certainly for Microsoft hosted email. I for instance show users with a Microsoft email a plain mailto:support@domain.tld link on my contact/support form. This way the first email is from them to me which helps building reputation and minimizes the chances of my response going straight into the spam box or worse, silently dropped. Regular users can fill in a proper form and submit it from the support page.

A cornerstone of the Kanban manufacturing process is that QA is done all along the manufacturing process, not something that is just tacked onto the end.

It doesn’t mean no QA is done at the end. It’s just less overhead to also do it along the way.
The second lie listed was to a NYT reporter, on an article titled "How Much Herd Immunity Is Enough?"

The question is kind of a wish for certainty about an uncertain thing. Even if 80% are immunized nationally, what if you live in a town where only 60% are? What if your town is 80% immunized but the other 20% all attend the same rally and get covid? Of course there cannot be an answer to such a question.

Between that and the ridiculous anti vax crowd my sympathy is with the public health folks. The fact is that to the best of our knowledge the vaccine works great, and if people are too dumb to get it despite that and endanger others, what choice is left? They can't force you to take it, so we get lies and $1000 cash rewards instead..

It's perfectly valid to believe Fauci lied and also believe the vaccine works. Some people are just never going to get the vax until they personally see friend/family dying from covid, and blaming fauci is simply convenient excuse for it.

I believe this is more of an optimization layer to be utilized by libraries like Tensorflow and JAX. More of a simplification of the interaction with traditional CUDA instructions.

I imagine these libraries and possibly some users would implement libraries on top of this language and reap some of the optimization benefit without having to maintain low-level CUDA specific code.
The HN downvote is also for disagreement

> a shared echo chamber is replaced with multiple echo chambers

So you mean a variety of opinions?
Lol, you don't really need to selectively breed dogs to chase animals. All dogs have what's called a "prey drive," to an extent, which is essentially their inborn desire to hunt other animals. It's left over from when they were wolves. Different breeds have higher or lower prey drives, so it's not at all uniform from breed to breed or dog to dog.

Given the heavy handed way that lead was removed from fuel for passenger vehicles, I'm still perplexed that a tiny lobby has managed to keep it around basically indefinitely. If I were to build an aerial vehicle that sprayed a toxic substance everywhere it went, the environmental groups would basically go nuts. But somehow because it is in a plane, nothing ever really happens about it.

The logical thing to do with 100LL is to ban it, like was done with passenger fuels. Existing planes serving a public good (basically just bush planes at this point) can continue to operate on it indefinitely. No sales of new planes equipped with engines that operate on 100LL would be allowed either.
A couple that might be worth considering:

This reminds me of a Slate Star Codex post, Epistemic Learned Helplessness: https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/06/03/repost-epistemic-learn...

Essentially, this essay argues that sometimes it is rational to ignore attempts at persuasion altogether – there is always someone more adept than you at arguing their point, and since they are so convincing you are incapable of distinguishing the truth, so you fall back on your Bayesian prior.
Article seems to be spot on - it's good to remind people about it once in a while.

When I was a kid I jumped into a semi-empty pool, where depth was more or less equal to my total height. Bad judgment on my part.
I couldn't swim so all I could do was bouncing of the bottom, gasping for air with each bounce. That was the only thing I could think of doing.
Lifeguard was there but he didn't notice drowning kid, nor did people around me in the pool.
Fortunately my father was more aware, and jumped in, fully clothed, to drag me out. I don't remember if it lasted 30 seconds or 2 minutes but I do remember the scared face of the 'lifeguard' when we were walking past him.

edit:grammar, at least what I've noticed
I used to use Hughesnet, we had 25 gigabytes of data that we got for the month (costed ~$75/month), and then paid $15 for every gigabyte over the cap we went. At it's fastest (high priority, recently reset data cap, night usage), it started to approach half of the 25/4 figure that the government was pushing so hard for.

I use Starlink now, and I feel horrible that I paid for such shitty service for so long. Please, if you're anyone in a rural area: do not support Hughesnet or Viacom. Find local options, look around online or talk to people. You'll almost always get a better deal when you search, and that's exactly what these incumbent powers are lobbying against.

There are sooooo many boring coding jobs out there. Just keep looking. Don’t attach your happiness to things out of your control. Honestly, who gives a shit if you work for a FAANG? Most of those companies sound pretty bad for the average engineer (at least from what I’ve read on HN). Find happiness outside of work and your salary, because at the end of all of our lives it doesn’t matter how much money we made or if we worked for Facebook or Apple. It’s the memories you had and the memories you instilled in others that remains. (And that only remains for a few generations)
Nice work, looks like a lot of effort would have gone into building something this comprehensive.
But what are the problems you are trying to solve, as far as I can see that forma is a mix of few things - it offers google for works features and then some other tools to automate processes. But does it target any specific problems? I think the tool might be too generic for SMBs. From my limited knowledge most popular tools focus on one or two problems, before expanding.

> 3 major problems none of the EV evangelists are addressing about with EVs are

This is straight up false. These same points are addressed again and again and again and again by EV supporters but I guess (if I took your claim seriously) no one actually pays attention? (See the sibling comments for folks responding to them.)

I mean, you might still disagree with what they have to say, but you CANNOT claim they don’t address those extremely common points. Is it okay to just repeat a lie like that for rhetorical purposes?

Quantum Information’s Revolutionary Origins – Charles Bennett
There aren't enough IPv4 addresses. It's not difficult arithmetic. It is possible for someone to be hoarding and someone to be wasteful and there not to be enough of something to go around. Those aren't distinct ideas only one of which can be true for a namespace.

Let's try a little thought experiment. Abe, Carol, Emma, Gerald, Isobel, Kate and Mark are at the place. Everybody is hungry. Three pizzas are delivered. Each person will be able to eat about half a pizza, or else they'll still be hungry.

Carol and Isobel announce that as Vegetarians they ought to have the two veggie pizzas. Carol eats half of hers and says she's keeping the other half "to eat later". Isobel realises her pizza has red pepper on it, she doesn't like red pepper and so she throws about half the pizza away as "contaminated". All five other people are left to share the Pepperoni pizza, they all still feel hungry after dividing it equally.

Was there hoarding? Yes Carol hoarded half a pizza. Was there waste? Yes Isobel wasted half a pizza. Was there not enough pizza? Yes, three pizzas is enough to properly feed six people and there were seven people eating even before Carol and Isobel announced they were keeping the veggie pizzas to themselves.
Downvotes matter because they often tie into visibility. On HN, a few downvotes make the post fade out so it is difficult to read. On Reddit, two downvotes collapse a post so that its text becomes hidden.

This means on these platforms downvotes are a weaponised tool wielded by someone who can destroy the effort that went into post with but a mouse click.
That's moving the goalposts quite a bit from "...absolutely be voted all the way down."
Sounds like my hounds. One of our dogs has an arrangement with a deer who got hit by a car a couple years ago, she and her fawns can hang out under the dog's favorite oak tree, but any other deer gets chased off with much noise.

However, I can't say we've noticed any reduction in the deer fecundity here because they get chased around. They simply learned to tolerate the occasional chase as a cost of living in our valley, which is evidently not too burdensome on them.
Interesting observation, and this very much was likely the case for private practice psychiatrists pre-COVID. Now, we are seeing that more mental health practitioners (high-quality included) have become comfortable providing care over video because care quality is actually the same (several studies show this), no-shows are reduced for the psychiatrist (equals more revenue), and patients really prefer it.

Furthermore, psychiatrists who take insurance or who are affiliated with a hospital/telehealth/other health care institution (i.e. not in private practice, plus these are the health care companies that are our customers) are more likely to bill for extra appointments because rates are lower than in private practice (although equal regardless of in-person or over video due to government mandates) and because the customer is less price-sensitive anyway as insurance is footing some of the bill. Therefore, these (still high-quality) folks just have different behavior patterns based on payment and based on response to COVID. I hope that helps.

> I still think Plato invented Socrates.

No, he was an actual historical person. Plato of course wrote a more literary depiction of him, not a direct transcript of his conversations.

> If Socrates was so wise, why did he get himself killed in such a dumb way?

You should probably actually read the dialogues (at least the Apology and the Crito) and you'll understand what happened. Socrates explicitly chose not to escape prison and to go through with the execution, and he gives his reasons in the Crito.
People often try to eliminate emotions from their lives, whether some specific ones or all of them.

It's called "repression" and it can really mess you up.

I don't mean that emotional responses are automatically good - I mean that emotions, as abstract entities, are inherently good.

I'm not so sure I'd call "hate" an emotion, so I'll try a different example.

If I'm angry at someone because they told me I wrote a buffer overflow (and I actually did), that's an unreasonable and unhealthy response. The fact that I feel anger over it should impel me to introspection and working out why I'm angry over useful technical feedback. From there, I can move on to personal change so that I'm no longer inclined to be angry about good, helpful input.

If I'm angry at someone because they sexually assaulted my wife, that's a healthy anger response. They've mistreated her horribly and my anger on her behalf should push me to protect her and seek justice.

How exactly I act on that anger matters, though - physically intervening so they cannot continue to hurt my wife then calling the police would be good.

Pulling out a pistol and shooting them would not.

Does that clarify my thoughts at all?
Completely agree and basically proposed the same system last month here[0]. I also made a comment matching yours about topic based communities[1].

An analogy I'm beginning to understand for this problem is Depth-First-Search Vs Breadth-First-Search. Right now most communities are BFS, where the entire community can only make one step at a time.

With the current system of BFS, you can only meaningfully affect public opinion by making arguments in the Overton Window of the community that you are in. If it is beyond the Overton Window, even if it's ultimately correct like Galileo, it will be down-voted and thus not seen.

Small communities on the other hand can bubble together in a DFS space. They can go way beyond the current understanding and hopefully reach results that they can bring back to the non-geeks of that subject, once they reach some meaningful and testable conclusions.

So we need both BFS and DFS. With HN we get a more focused BFS, but it's still BFS. With Twitter we get an unfocused DFS that dives head-first into other opposing DFS communities. There's a balance we need to strike but the nuance is going to be tough.

I made another comment[2] that Google is accidentally building these 150 person Dunbar communities with their Google FLoC project. It would be really exciting if that were to be open-sourced and allowed to be built into a social media site.

This topic has come up on HN several times before and it never ceases to unsettle me. I'd never had a personal experience with it before. It's even more chilling after having had an experience with it.

My 8 y/o daughter recently attended a "pool party" w/ sports teammates. One of the mothers, fully clothed and there only acting as a chaperon, jumped in to pull out one of the girls who was in distress.

The distressed girl's mother had commented, just a few moments before, on how the girl was "fine" and "just playing" as she flailed about in the water. My wife said the girl didn't look to be in distress, per se, but was kind of "jumping around".

I found out later that the mother who rescued the girl she'd been a lifeguard. She recognized the girl was in distress. There were 8 to 10 other adults present and no one else, in or out of the pool, was thinking too much of it. It's absolutely chilling.
> Moreover, PCR testing during the covid epidemic, which he was not alive for, has clearly been working well. High cases later correspond to high hospitalizations and high covid-19 deaths and high excess deaths across many different countries.

In the case of Covid, "hospitalizations" are largely defined as "in the hospital with a positive PCR test", so this is a truism. Deaths are predominantly downstream of "hospitalizations", so again, this is a truism.

Any pathology in PCR testing would equally affect "hospitalizations" and "confirmed deaths".

That is probably just a side benefit. Your two largest ISPs pushing IPv6 are Verizon and Comcast, because they're also (including wireline and mobile) the largest ISPs. The number of IPv4 addresses they'd need to meet their customers needs would be astronomical if they didn't find any excuse to go IPv6 only where possible.
It's insane to think that just the 6 countries mentioned are ~44.4% of the world's population - but the whole of Europe (~52 countries) are only 9.45%.
