> I like to see people working hard, I work hard myself

Yeah, see, this right here is the problem. There's this belief that people objecting to current norms and standards around work constitutes "not working hard," which is a non sequitur.

In my experience most people want to work. They just don’t want to do it on the terms currently laid out for them--terms that employers like to pretend are inviolable laws of nature, not choices they make and are responsible for.

"Absent" landlord here. I pay a management firm to handle repairs. If I find out they aren't responding to tenant maintenance requests, I'm going to start looking to replace them with another firm.

But I love my management firm. They get me discounts on appliances, repairs, carpet & paint because they have agreements with local suppliers. If I had been the one to call for a quote to replace the air conditioner, not only would it have been much pricier, I would have gone to the back of the line (because of COVID equipment shortages...) to get the work scheduled. Instead, it was replaced in only 2 days, they did a great job, and it's more efficient - saving my tenant money on their utility bills.

Are there slumlords out there? Of course. But you're painting with a pretty broad brush here and it's unfair.

That's like saying crime is much less common amongst people who aren't in jail.

If people follow the rules, and also try to be civil in general, and just enjoy guns, you get a combination of foresight, expectation and planning.

Usually, when something goes wrong (be it 'being the baddies' or just accidentally have your children shoot themselves because you keep a loaded firearm in your nightstand) I'd expect it to be unplanned, unexpected and a lack of thinking. And therein lies the problem: we cannot assume everyone has the same skillset, same mental capacity and the same outlook.
Sorry, I probably wasn't clear enough --- the only reason there exists an arithmetical difficulty in the first place is because we're materializing an intermediate value we don't really care about with any kind of precision and using it to compute a value which needs perfect precision.

The proposed solution is to never mess with division in the first place when computing P&L; operate on "total" values: cost basis, total profit, ....

Edit: and as a super minor point of contention, I don't think it's wrong to call it a technical difficulty. You can represent the involved quantities exactly with a decimal ratio type, and the existence of a technical solution indicates that the problem is at least somewhat technical in nature.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Economies of scale mean that you're more productive with more consumption.

> while indeed we can’t simulate the whole of neuron, why would we want to do that? I think that is backwards. We only have to model the actually important function of a neuron.

Yeah so I think this is where we fundamentally differ. It seems like your assumption is that neurobiology is fundamentally messy and inefficient, and we should be able to dispense with the squishy bits and abstract out the real core "information processing" part to make something more efficient than a brain.

So if that's your assertion, what would that look like? What would be the subset of a neuron that we could simulate which would represent that distillation of the information processing part?

Because my argument would be, the squishy, messy cellular anatomy is the core information processing part. So if we try to emulate neural processing with the assumption that a whole neuron is the base unit, we will miss a lot of that micro-level processing which may be essential to reaching the utility and efficiency achieved by the human brain.

I'm not against the idea that whatever brains we happened to evolved are not the most efficient structure possible. But my position would be, we're probably quite far in terms of current computing technology from being able to build something better. I would imagine we might have to be able to bioengineer better neurons if we really want to compete with the real thing, rather than trying so simulate it in software.

>It would be interesting if a spike in sales also came with a spike in training, range usage or gun safe sales.

Anecdotally, I'd say yes.

The three ranges in closest proximity to me have hour long waits for lanes on weekends. Everywhere, dealers are consistently sold out of "beginner" type firearms: ruger mark iv's, 10/22s, sr22s, etc. It is a similar story with magazines for these types of firearms, and I doubt demand for these is being driven by existing gun owners (who likely already have them).

I also happened to order a new safe recently, and every dealer in my metro area had zero inventory on hand. The best you can get is an order allocation, or buying one of the safes they already have on order with an expected delivery of 1-3mo. Part of this is certainly supply chain disruption, but I heard the same story over and over again that demand was through the roof.
> Marijuana trade is already federally illegal in all 50 states and territories…

Interesting fact, the Federal government doesn’t have the power to make marijuana illegal, so instead the federal government taxes it, you just don’t see them offer very many tax stamps for it. That said the federal government does in fact grow and distribute marijuana to select individuals they approved under a compassionate care program. Few patients under the program are still alive, but one patient I knew received 300 pre-rolled joints from the federal government every month for over 3 decades.

>It's within federal jurisdiction to override the California law to permit California people to buy non-CA-compliant pork from Iowa.

That is a big legal “maybe”. The federal government can usually set regulatory minimums and the states usually have the right to set higher standards. If the federal government can show California’s law effects interstate commerce then the federal government might have supremacy under the commerce clause, but these cases are typically always decided 5-4 by the Supreme Court (and if the learned Justices can’t agree it is unlikely we would make much progress here on HN). Not coincidentally the commerce clause is how the federal government finds its power to regulate marijuana too.

I read these stories much more literally.

One of the things the human brain does is project an honest picture of your self. This is your soul, it's whatever you perceive is your true nature. It's not nice stories you tell about yourself, it's your honest bottom line appraisal.

"Selling your soul" is doing something that you know will inflicting trauma on others in return for rewards to you. This is going against "God" where "God" is defined as the sum of all forces in the universe which heal trauma.

If you do this repeatedly, it makes irreparable changes to your self image. It gets harder and harder to see yourself as part of the movement to heal trauma, and you start to see yourself as part of the non-healing world, which includes "The Devil"—defined as the sum of all sentient forces in the universe which inflict trauma, either delighting in it or by suppressing normal emotional responses.

Alongside this, Christianity points at "seeking forgiveness", or asking for (external) trauma-healing forces ("God") to change you... with an earnest desire to be changed. That forgiveness, when granted, can then repair this self image in your brain. So that's the opposing side of this process.

Where you "soul" gets "sold" is just that the more you engage in trauma-for-pay, the more distance you put between yourself and the flock of trauma healers in this world. And the harder it is for you to believe any interest you might have in forgiveness is earnest. Eventually you get far enough out there you need a Jesus-level counsellor to bring you back into the flock, of which there are VERY few in the world.

That kind of person goes and finds the people with the most damaged self image, and is skilled at uncovering an old self image and healing their trauma. In Christianity, these are "saints".

But that's the long shot. The "don't sell your soul" directive is saying, don't head down that path because it's hard enough to maintain a positive, honest self image as it is.
