> Am I given a bit of the emissions of the supply chain that delivered it to the store from the manufacturer?

Yes, you would have to use some of your carbon credits to pay for the delivery and manufacture of the shoe. The product would have both a monetary and a carbon price. If you don't have enough credits, then you can buy some on the spot market from someone who isn't using theirs up.

This would incentivise repair of the shoe, as it may require fewer carbon credits.
You can't socially outcast your kid like that. Seriously, any problems you thought they'd have because of Instagram are nothing in comparison to being a social outcast that never develops skills for making friends and forming relationships because their parents felt the need to kneecap that communication method which is so modern.

Teach your kid about the dangers. Use the systems in place (ie Screen Time on iOS) to help shape the way they use the technology, and be open and honest about what worries you. If your strategy for helping the kid is predicated on "I told you so"s, I may have found the reason why they keep breaking security systems.

If search and autosave worked well in Confluence, it would be fine.
It has to be some kind of money laundering scam, or other fraud, right?

Surely, no matter how out of touch they are, these old investors understand that not a single teen and college studens actually watches Ted Talks every day, reads Vox, listens to the NYT Daily on their way to classes, and has the Open Society Foundations RSS feed on their phone, right? They understand no one actually gives a F** about "media companies that challenge the status quo, shake things up, and go deep on the issues that matter most". Come on! The most "media" they watch is Linus Media Group, the Daily Show, and John Oliver. Only slightly exaggerating. It's impossible for them to be this out of touch!

Just wait. The company that brought you Kik and Whisper and Genius is now the proud owner of Imgur and all the fabulous images and data contained within.
> Look at standardized testing in the USA (SAT, ACT) - there is tons of coaching and preparation specific to the test that isn't training anyone on the material. Instead, we know how much time to spend per question, how to quickly eliminate possible answers on a multiple choice to improve odds when guessing, what patterns in the language a question exist, etc.

I wonder what's the value of all that coaching. How many extra points can someone score thanks to coaching?

Also, the SAT is extremely well documented, especially when test prep books are available for almost free.
The difference is that someone pirated another person's software and tried to get away with it. Then that person's fan club wrote a bunch of nonsense to distract, deflect and cloud their malfeasance.

Attribution may not be a concern for career criminals but FOSS tries to stay on the side of the law. Otherwise, projects risk being "tainted" by copy-pasted code that could lead to even larger legal repercussions. ReactOS had its development shut down in 2006 because of mere allegations; they had to prove all their code was written by themselves

I don't know why talk like this gets a reputation as being straightforward and no-BS. It would be more straightforward and have less BS if it just said, "Image sharing made simple. Like imgur, but without he bullshit."

Not a long ramble about being ashamed (why?) about an image board I never even think of.
I think the author commented on this view in their FAQ:

> Listen, this is half service, half art project. I made it in two days because I needed one and Imgur is an embarrassing husk of its former self, and I had nothing better to do. If you're expecting professionalism, call Oracle and ask for a quote of Oracle Advanced Image Sharing for Hadoop or whatever crap they sell, IMGZ is awesome but what you see is what you get.

Eh, it isn't too far off from the "I created an image hosting service that doesn't suck." language used in the announcement of Imgur on Reddit 12 years ago.
Unfortunately you will not get any speed boost in that case, in fact it will be slower having to fetch all the remote side data for small file changes.
Sounds like the metric should account for how hard an item is to handle.

Personally I would want to know if my uploads were going through some scanning engine from one of the tier-1 Internet gatekeepers who I would have to trust to not keep/forward a copy.

My birthday is literally already on my Facebook "about" page though, and shown to all my friends whenever it comes around, so they can post on my timeline.
TBH, I find the following from that site as "being a bit of an ass":

> You are a guest here. You can use IMGZ, and it'll always be great, because I'm great. I've even open-sourced it.

(in particular, due to the "because I'm great.")

> It's super cheap. Like, $5/yr. And that includes bandwidth. There's even a free trial because I'm nice.

(same theme: "because I'm nice")

past that, the honest talk is nice to see, IMO.
The medical regulation system is so broken. This is absurd.
It’s a pretty weird place these days. There are a few friends who get like 7 trillion likes if they post that their baby farted, but many many other friend posts have literally 0 or very few likes.

At some point I stopped commenting or Liking any post which already has more than ~10 Likes or comments. In some sense it feels really strange to me that people bother to engage with content where their engagement is essentially invisible within the crowd.

Hm, the site uses CloudFlare (and that's about it), is that what you mean?
This issue seems to have been tiptoed around and many governments have tried to "play fair" about some aspects of critical infrastructure.

If the strategic importance of a company like ASML hasn't taught western governments how much is at stake when it comes to getting a technology edge then I'm not sure what will.
You can justify any decision with "with the knowledge at the time", it's the same as "just following orders".

There's a middle ground that isn't "amazing journey" and isn't "i'm an asshole but i'll let you use my service, I guess"

From my perspective the latter associates itself with volatility which isn't fantastic for any kind of hosting.
Ask HN: How much Slack do you give a recruiter?
I’m (almost) at the offer stage with a company that I really like. The engineers that I’ve spoken with are great, the work sounds interesting, and the industry is exciting. My experience with the recruiter (from the company) has been wanting. They had email problems, it takes a long time to get responses, and they told me an offer was coming more than a week ago. I had to reach out to find out what was going on with the offer (it’s still coming)

I feel like once I get in the engineering group, things will be fine, but the delays with the recruiter are making me have second thoughts about what otherwise was a very exciting prospect.

Is slow communication indicative of bad communication throughout the company, or just a fluke? Should I be worried?

Im actually looking into this myself. Adding facets isn't that hard to what's already there, and for smaller sites I imagine this could be a very inexpensive way to add search, albeit with slightly higher cost to add or remove items.
I think there's a cost to taking money from thousands of people vs taking the money from an investor or advertiser.

First off there is tax compliance, if you want to be global it will cost a lot for accountants and lawyers that understand how this should work "anywhere" in the world.

Second, I know some people that will just cancel credit cards because they don't want to make the next recurring payment for a service. Coming after these people is not worth the effort but hurts the bottom line.

Third, you need to hire employees to look after customer accounts and billing if there are any questions.

I think there's other reasons and I know payment processors like Stripe and Square are attempting to make this seamless, but I'm guessing a single source of funding is still desirable.
There's a huge amount of false "conventional wisdom" here.

> Sure these companies are notionally private but the people who own them exist because the CCP allows them to and the price for that is loyalty.

The government does not by any means micromanage or control even a tiny fraction of companies in China in the way you're implying. The government could theoretically exert pressure on companies for various reasons, but that's not at all unique to China. How tightly connected is Silicon Valley to the US government?

> the wholesale theft of intellectual property through "partnerships"

First of all, these partnerships were not theft. Be careful about making these sorts of accusations. China made a pretty simple deal with foreign companies: you get to access our massive pool of cheap labor, and in return, you transfer some amount of technology to a local partner. I don't actually see anything immoral with this. It's a fair trade.

Second of all, these requirements for local partnerships have been phased out over time, and are limited now to certain sectors. For example, Tesla wholly owns its operations in China.

> Western companies won't "win" in China because the CCP won't allow it to happen.

Western companies have been "winning" in China for decades. Not only have they been able to exploit cheap labor, but they have conquered many sectors of China's internal market. VWs are ubiquitous in China, and as of last year, Tesla was the top-selling EV car manufacturer in China. China is one of the largest markets for Boeing and Airbus. Qualcomm gets 2/3 of its revenue from China. I could go on, but you get the point.

> That is, if Western companies aren't given fair access to the Chinese market

American and European brands are far more dominant in China than the other way around. If anything, the story of Huawei shows that once Chinese companies try to move beyond selling low-value-added products in the West, they are viewed as strategic rivals and face discrimination on poorly explained national security grounds.
Somebody suggested me cubeupload some time ago. Is there anything wrong with it?
To save others looking it up: `.la` is the ccTLD of Laos. They're using it here to mean "Los Angeles", of course, but I hadn't seen that one before :)
The US has never proved that there is any kind of Chinese surveillance going on with Huawei equipment. Lying and anti-market strategies seem to be the tool of choice of the US government to block the advance of societies that are not deemed to be part of their empire.

Wow, now not using Instagram is child abuse? That's a reach by anybody's standard.

Not being in the 'in crowd' is not crippling. It will not result in stunted social skills.
What's wrong with Imgur:

Imgur started as a way to share images on Reddit. Imgur was even a great way browse all the images in a subreddit at once. Eventually Reddit implemented their own image uploading and hosting and added the new layout, which makes images bigger when browsing feeds. Imgur pivoted into being their own social network, and use cases like yours began to be ignored because they generated far more abuse than they do revenue.

Even if you once paid for Imgur, like I did, the non-social features are completely broken. I can't even view my own images using https://statico.imgur.com/all, and I can't get to my old albums of images.

We're trying to maintain the puritanical simplicity of the internet, didn't you hear?

On a more serious note, I tend to agree with you and would add one more thing: I have several friends who have explicitly asked for more websites with this paid model. My friends want to pay to not be advertised to or have their data sold. It also happens to be the case that those same people all express their opinions in a very similar style as this website's copy.
Funnily enough, my reaction was the opposite. This is blunt, honest, and makes fun of all the crap marketing and fake sale pitches of other services.

The first link only has the abstract available, that contains no such examples.

The second link gives me an endless captcha.

The closest to an example that I could find in the very verbose third link was the 'okay' hand gesture.

Is that the kind of expressions you want banned? What about, for example, a website that catalogues black-on-white murders, and ignores white-on-black murders, would that be allowed, or is it harmful?

What about the reverse?

The third link also says anti-immigrant speech should be banned. Does that mean "I believe immigration should be reduced" gets censored? If anti-immigrant speech should be banned, does it then follow that anti-non-immigrant speech is also not permissible? E.g. statements disparaging the local majority population?

When you say "harmful" speech, implicitly you mean "harmful to my values". Others see harm in speech that you find agreeable. But you are confident that the enforcers will share your values, and the speech that ends up banned won't be, for example, undermining the territorial integrity of China.
The UK provided key expertise to the Manhattan Project, so to say that they were "spying" is not fair. The UK bomb project had been going on for longer, and making it a joint US/UK project sped up development.
I'm happy about this. The EU wants to have its cake and eat it too by making trade deals both with the US and some really terrible regimes. One of Merkel's final desperate acts on her way out was to try and push through a mega trade deal with China which was thankfully shot down by other EU members over Xinjiang. My own country, Denmark, gleefully agreed to push Nord Stream 2 pipe through its waters.

The EU may commit the fewest atrocities but they sure do love putting money in the coffers of those who commit them.

Here's what we can try doing instead: build more nuclear reactors, stop funding our democratic oases by throwing money at autocratic regimes, and stop pissing in each other's milk so we can become a real global power that doesn't have to kowtow to the awful to make ends meet.

I find my Boox Note Air pretty good. It runs Android basically every app I've thrown at it works although the fact that's eInk means stuff like Netflix, games etc. is obviously not a good experience. Some apps take a little fiddling to get working well on eInk like filtering out page turn animations or page refresh settings but once that's done it works well. The stock reader is very good at PDFs and passable at ePubs but you can just download another app so it's no big deal.

Remarkable seems like it's still a little better at writing feel/writing latency but the Boox line is very good as eInk tablets.

Lomborg's argument rests entirely on his uses of William Nordhaus's DICE (dynamic integrated climate-economy) model.

Nordhaus is smart, but there are people who think DICE is enough wrong that it is not useful.

For example, although agriculture is a small component of the economy in developed countries (single digit percentages), it's difficult to run an economy if agricultural harvests are 50% impaired, even intermittently. DICE ignores this, to the best of my knowledge. I also believe DICE underestimates costs and durations involved in recovering from large-scale adverse events. It would be interesting to see how well it models the world's response to Covid-19, for example.

Early papers based on the model overestimate the economic cost of emission reductions. For example the costs of wind, PV, and batteries have decreased much faster and to a greater extent than they assumed.

Others point out that DICE doesn't capture things that we value, despite them not having a direct economic value: mostly-inaccessible wild ecosystems, for one. Losing these non-economic things diminishes our future range of choices.

Lomborg also treats all actions to mitigate climate change as a deadweight cost on the economy, when many of them are worth undertaking for health reasons or other economic reasons. Renovating subway systems, for instance.

Finally, his argument in the WSJ opinion is ... subtle? "Because governments and others will take action to mitigate the effects of climate change, governments need not bother to take action to mitigate the magnitude or effects of climate change. And young people shouldn't pressure governments to do so."

> Their search results used to be great before they started doing this

Google is in an arms race with SEO --- one Google is gradually losing. Removing relevance signals will make search results worse. That Google was able to deliver excellent results ten years ago is irrelevant today: the environment is different and if they went back to what they were doing then, results would be far worse now.
That sounds like a lot of work. Why not just push my screenshots to good ol' NNTP?

It's absolutely in Facebook's interest to allow this kind of viral garbage. It feels like engagement, gives people a way to engage socially in seemingly harmless questions. (I'm not at all convinced these are some dastardly data gathering scheme - many of the viral questions don't have meaningful answers.)

It would be so, so simple to stop these. Just de-prioritize posts with too many replies, or replies from people you don't know, or.. anything. The virality of these things sticks out like a sore thumb. Facebook is choosing to not stop them.

Then again as we learned recently Facebook is choosing not to stop all sorts of things on their platform. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28512121

The US exerts a lot of pressure on US companies for geopolitical reasons, so this puts them in the same level as the Chinese government. Everybody knows that the US compiles "avoid-lists" of countries they want to attack, and companies have to comply or suffer huge penalties. This absurd push to remove Chinese products from the market is just the latest example.

1. Again, death is not the only significant outcome variable.

2. COVID is among the top ten causes of death among children (https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/covid-19-continues...). At some level it doesn't matter if it's lower than is the case for other age groups. If you could significantly reduce one of the top 10 causes of death among children with a vaccine, wouldn't you?

The lengths people will go to defend the FDA failure to prevent harm to children is surprising to me.

The US wants IP laws so it can protect it's innovation. The rest of the Western world agrees. The US is also more likely to maintain human rights, which China absolutely does not care about. I would much rather the US be top dog than China, even though it has plenty of issues and has made mistakes.
