If you think its reasonable to use Poland, Romania or Greece as your benchmark for Europe, i think its reasonable to use Puerto Rico, Missisipi and Lousiana as the benchmark for the United States.

>You should also cosider wages and disposable income.

As one would consider purcasing power, healthcare costs, student debts, good public infrastructure, public spaces, physical safety, quality of water, quality of air, amount of people owining firearms, amount of conspiracy nuts, reliability of things like heat and electricity, the level of institutational racism, human rights, freedom of speech, etc. Lets not even dive in the fact that healthy high quality food is so much more expensive in the US.

In the end, the list of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_livable_cities does not contain many US cities at all.

This notion that you are rewarded better for the same work in the US is just not true. You have to work more, you have to put up with more abuse, you have to spend more time travelling to work, your roads are shit, your public transit is none existing. If you get into a small car crash, you have to worry for a bit if the other person will drive on (stucking you with a bill), or bring a gun (because they might just be angry and armed!). Your kids live in a cage in suburbia and after working all those hours, you will have to drive them around for them to go anywhere except their own house.
Conclusion: to solve all our energy problems, we just need a sufficiently large compost pile.
a) Their work load - whether they will burn out or become a lazy bum. Neither extreme is good.

b) What the next job level entails and how to get there. Whether to take the career path of being an individual contributor, manager, architect, tech-lead manager, etc.

c) Compensation, equity, and how RSUs, ESOPs, etc. work.

d) Alternate, overlapping fields of work - in case of software developers, how can they explore product management or running tech programs.

I do agree in principle regarding trust level, and regarding pricing.

But that can quickly become impractical. I run a bunch of small personal web sites (different domains) on a single IP, which a certificate is tied to (since HTTP "Host" negotiation only happens after the encrypted connection is established). I think there were changes to allow this negotiation to happen before encryption, but that loses some privacy.

I also use a couple of registrars, so coming up with a solution to this existing complexity is extra hard. Maybe with IPv6 where I can cheaply use a bunch of fixed IPs instead.
I wouldn't assume they derived theirs from the trash company logo. As a concept, a star made from letters is not extremely creative.
I have one of the Phillips alarms [0]. Do not currently use it, but regularly did for a year or two.

I don't feel it's bright enough to mimic true sunlight, but it is much brighter than typical light sources. Especially at full brightness on a nightstand.

I've never had problems waking up, so can't speak to those who do. But I would absolutely say it made the experience of waking up smoother and more pleasant.

I'd describe it as a normal waking being jarring, even without alarm, where I have a brief moment of confusion as my brain snaps into consciousness.

Whereas with the light almost every morning was a smoother transition, where I rose to consciousness more gradually, while still sleeping, and then basically opened my eyes already awake.

If you declare too many things to a "human right" it removes wiggle room for good policy making.

Also, the US already has stronger rules against vehicle pollution than the EU (in terms of pollution that directly damage health like NOx and PM). If it's going to become a "human right" then countries who propose it should be leading it in the first place.
China has been denying people human rights daily, what does the UN do to them?
At a few bucks per hour, people could leave their kids until 9pm and go out for a quick dinner and movie. That'd be the cheapest babysitting in town.

As said elsewhere, I don't think it's ever enforced, just as backup in case they have someone repeatedly taking advantage of them.

I've often arrived in the last 3-5 minutes. If you are late, staff are forced to hang around, cleaners potentially can't complete their job, etc.

I think this article is really misleading. It is the strongest glass not counting “glass” that uses ion-exchange chemical strengthening process like the “glass” on your phone screen. Practically speaking this breakthrough is irrelevant from what I can tell…
Even today, the word for “cloud” is “sky” in both Danish and Norwegian.

While the primary meaning for “sky” is “cloud”, a more rarely found form, “i sky” (literally “in cloud”), means “in the sky”.
Generally we shouldn't be glad when inhumane laws are enforced, yes?

Even if you supported anti-pornogrophy laws (I know you aren't saying that), another reason why this should be challenged is because it's going to be enforced in gender-biased ways. Primarily women will share a disproportionate burden of scrutiny for this law, particularly so in the case of revenge porn or deepfake.

It's important to advocate for treating women fairly, even when that comes at the cost of cultural insensitivity.
I mean this as an honest question: why does that matter? Diplomatically, why would any other country care about a genocidal dictatorships pronouncements of hypocrisy?

That already happens, and it already doesn’t stop sanctions and other consequences, from my limited understanding of geopolitics.
Its not so much dis but the whole concept of an OS built on top of a VM. This means the entirety of user space is portable across platforms. There is no way to run native code.

It is possible to port wasm to inferno and replace dis. That could open up some interesting possibilities. You could write code in any language, spit out wasm and run it on any cpu/OS via inferno.
Can be installed with `pip install horology`.

Recently I released stable version 1.2.

> A side note, I really don't get why Napoleon is seen in such bad light.

I’m really surprised that he isn’t more often seen in a bad light. He started a gigantic war, mobilized millions to expand an empire, crowned himself emperor, etc…

When do we draw the line? I think as a society we are very hypocritical and nonsensical in who we venerate. People were having serious discussions about how “offensive” the Lincoln Memorial was… yet nobody is clamoring for removing statues of Napoleon? I’m just not following the logic in any of this.

> Ah, the "a republic isn't a democracy" trope. That debunked so often, I won't even go there here.

Debunked in what way? The founding fathers (to their shame in my view) were explicit in creating a republic system and gave only certain people such as landowners and men the right to vote. Republicanism is a form of democracy, but it stands in stark contrast to what the person you are replying to is talking about which is a “might makes right” 51-49 wins kind of democracy, which if you look at Congress the founders set up explicitly to counteract. Now, the OP may be making a mistake in terminology, but it’s very clear that the founders were against simple majority. Frankly, I have to say I am too, because a 51-49 kind of country quickly falls apart. You can see elements of that at play today.
China is a disgusting bully. They’re intentionally rattling people in Taiwan by flying war planes at them to “stress them out”.

The UN is a joke. Something should be done.
Not all plugs are created equal.

I've found loads are total garbage. The only brand I have found that reliably works into brick and plaster are Fischer plugs. If I buy something that already comes with plugs, they go straight into the bin and I use my own screws and matching plugs.

Fischer has a lot of technical information freely and publicly available on their website for their screws too (e.g. https://fiproductmedia.azureedge.net/media/Certification%20D...). This is pleasing when you are mounting something that needs to take a lot of weight (shelves, large mirrors etc) and you want piece of mind.

Highly recommended - I've basically chucked everything else out and now have 3 different sized Fischer plugs and a variety of matching screws (pan head, counter sunk etc) to meet all my needs.

I am not a pro - just a DIYer who has had multiple failures in the past from cheap-ass plugs and screws who initially blamed themselves. Turns out you CAN blame the tools (well - fixings in this case) since quality fixings solved my problems.
I feel like we are watching the stability which makes the USA the place for business erode before our very eyes.

If it's not threatening civil war then it's playing chicken with the stability of the US government and economy.

This is all terrible for business.
It looks like the validity was reduced in 2020.
This sounds odd, but who am I to disagree?

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Seriously though, I can attest that it seems to do something for sleep/dreams, though it's hard to pin down what. Either I remember more dreams, or maybe it makes dreams more distinct as opposed to merely "things you were thinking of as you fell asleep".
Just ask yourself why the UN lacks the power to do anything without permission by the big players.

The problem isn't the product. I was going to compete with Steam at one point and we had objectively better systems and a better client.

The problem was the critical mass issue - no users, no publishers, neither want to join without the other.

Amazon will definitely get publishers but will users join? That's not a given.
not sure I follow, we can't create new ecological rights because some countries might do better on them than the US, so the only legitimate rights on the planet are the ones that extend the political power of the United States?

Because you know the exact thing you're afraid of has actually been done in the name of civil liberties and political rights, how many small nations have been crushed in the name of freedom and democracy in the last half century?

As one wag said about a famous politician many years ago, "That guy's got a hundred ideas a day! But only one or two of them are worth a damn" So yes, I got some ideas.

I hate going so far down in a thread. I will try to be as meta as possible.

I think the type of work we're talking about, identifying the problem and making progress here, is meta-analysis. That is, I think the first thing to do is to describe the categories of things that are creating the systemic interlocking dysfunction. It is definitely _not_ to look more and more closer at the current problem. The only thing you're doing there is subtly reinforcing the problem in everyone's minds. As Einstein said, you can't solve a problem like this using the same old ideas and terms that got you here.

So you get a small number of literate, smart, and historically-minded people. You try to come up with half-a-dozen or so similar systemic dysfunctions that existed and were resolved throughout history. That's a conversation. Probably will take a while. Based on that conversation, you come up with 3-7 overall concepts that seem to categorize the types of misconceptions that exist in all of these examples. As an example, perhaps you decide that definitions of incentives, mission, conflict, and identity are areas in which in each example participants had one idea on one side of history and another on the other (as the dysfunction was resolved).

Once you've got that group of commonly-incomplete assumptions, then and only then can you take your mental blinders off and come back to the present situation and bounce what you've learned up against what's happening now (and the tech involved). At this point you'll have a framework for looking for behaviors and tech that might make a difference. That may be as far as you can go because of the before-after problem, but it gives you places to explore and support and some idea of the types of disruptions to look for that might break us out of this.

E-mail or IM me if you'd like to talk farther. As much as we love to gesticulate, rant, and moan about this problem online, actually making progress is real work and not just something we do with a morning cup of coffee typing into a text box into the void. :) (Although that's a lot of fun too!)
There is fair use exceptions? I'm no expert here but Google says,

Since copyright law favors encouraging scholarship, research, education, and commentary, a judge is more likely to make a determination of fair use if the defendant's use is noncommercial, educational, scientific, or historical.
well not if the big one is a margherita pizza.
Ooh that is cool. If you look at the etymology, it seems like the word meant both black and blue at some point and became fixed to one of the colours in each Baltic language, just not the same colour. So, despise it seeming odd, there is a sane explanation, and it is technically the same word as the words are cognates.
> That’s sort of an absurd comparison.

Making the comparison would be absurd only if the difference in payoff wasn't so absurd.
It matters as much as recognizing anything as a human right formally matters. U.N. is not good at enforcing human rights really, but it's better than nothing, and diluting it further is a step to "nothing" in my opinion.
Maintaining your own web server costs more than that.

Translation: USA and Britian are big on globalization, and they don't want to be held accountable for any collateral damage.

That is, for example, the Beijing smog, well those countries own a fair percentage of that. Off-shoring manufacturing isn't only about cost of labour. It's also about less (environmental) regulation.

The USA is fond of highlighting it's progress on the environment, but it consistently fails to mention the problem wasn't solved, but most often simply off-shore'd. We also love to present as taking the high road on human rights. Something like this would ruin that (false*) narrative.

* The USA's incarceration rate comes to mind.
I agree. Even if you keep it within ecology, entities (companies/countries) have been allowed to focus on CO2 emissions while downplaying particulate emissions, water contamination, etc. “Look at my slick PR campaign. We’ve been buying carbon credits! Just don’t test the water downstream from our Chinese factory. “
This is an underrated comment. Many who believe we have a right to be safe don't understand that it's impossible to achieve without sacrificing other fundamental rights (i.e. privacy, liberty).
This article is weirdly devoid of relevant information about the objections. They mention legal concerns from Washington but don’t explain them for some reason.

I’m also very confused about this line about halfway down the article:

> The United States is not currently a Council member but is vying for a seat and can still join debates as an observer.

Are they saying that the US isn’t even a voting member of the council making the decision? It seems like a huge exaggeration to say the US is interfering with the resolution when they’re not even voting yes or no on it.
>Honestly, if a brain implant was proven to be as safe as vaccination, and could get me to be happy while working 3 jobs in a mine and eating bugs. I probably would sign up.

Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is a setting based on a very similar concept, it'll probably be an old hat to most here on HN but I strongly encourage everyone to read it if they haven't already (along with The Doors of Perception). Huxley makes a lot of very good objections to why this "technology to make people happy with their social status" is actually a deeply dystopian notion.

Like the Savage, I don't want to live in perfectly happy world where government writ forces me to live my life on rails set for me before my birth, a world where people can only colour within the lines drawn out by the elite and are completely incapable of even conceiving a world outside the one they're born into because they're medically engineered to love their social station and be perfectly happy in the caste they were born into. In the Savage's words: "I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin". I'd rather be authentically unhappy than artificially happy because someone else told me I have to be or I'm defective.

Obviously in the case of depression and other mental illnesses it's different, you're aiming to treat a disease rather than make people slavishly compliant with a socio-political establishment. I don't object at all to the former, but I very much object to the latter if there's no way out for people who'd rather not be manipulated into social submission.

The thing with Twitch streaming is that you can do it from almost anywhere. So, $50k is maybe a bit high for a living wage.

Plus, Twitch is probably just one source of income for many content creators. For many it's not their primary source, but just a side source. YouTube, Patreon, OnlyFans, outside sponsors, or even esports may be where they make most of their money.

A political party in the USA needs an engaged, interested, reliable representative for every single county election commission, at the very least.

The Libertarians don't have that. The Greens never bothered with rural areas. The Perot believers and the Tea Parties had boots enough but no co-ordination.
Generally the rules are stronger and the (post sale) enforcement is weaker (because turning the screws on the poors over a check engine light isn't as tractable for us as it is for Europe, generally speaking).
Whatever suckiness Plan 9 has, it's either incomparable to other systems, or it is not worth caring about, or if it is, something can most likely be done about it with relatively little effort, and if not, you can always run multiple operating systems in parallel.

I disagree on the reason for polarization. Your reasoning is more a symptom than the cause, which is the media/information sphere. Most people are silo'd into increasingly polarized and misinformed information diets. Fox news, huffpost, Breitbart, donald.win, rush Limbaugh, the young Turks -- we all know people who have fallen into these types of news sources and are unable to moderate their views. They see entertainment as truth and triggering bait as news.
Mmm... well, if you're received what you consider to be toxic interactions on twitter, reddit and even here, but not on 4chan, have you considered that the common factor is perhaps not that all of these platforms are toxic...

...but that your views are considered problematic by quite a lot of people?

Perhaps that could be some cause for self reflection before you universally declare the entire platform here hostile and toxic.
I really can't see how multiple small parties teaming up helps anything. Maybe you can clarify? For as long as the big two are considered the big two, any number of additional parties act as spoilers.

It's an interesting angle, and if combined with whatever makes a places known for their service become popular (I don't think it's just the service), I could see this making an impact.

There is a real pain point around using digital services that are basically utilities, and knowing their customer service is a 4 option robot. The more important the product paired with the more worse service, it creates companies people really hate.

A two examples are Chick Fil A and Ticketmaster. A blend of things took Chick Fil A to its popularity, and service is definitely part of that. Ticketmaster, which more or less just does not have a phone number to talk to anymore and a few day email delay to interact with. Have a problem with this ticket, at an event coming up very soon? Tough luck.
There's also the issue that IRV is persistently biased against moderates, who might be almost everyone's second choice even if they're almost nobody's first choice.

> The reliance on a three button mouse, which makes it impossible to use Plan 9 on a modern laptop without finagling with modifier keys

Some modern laptops which have both a touchpad and a trackpoint or similar have two sets of mouse buttons, with the top one (for the trackpoint) having three buttons. The Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackpoint) has a list of models (note however that, for some models, it's optional so you can have it either with or without the trackpoint) and a couple of pictures of these laptops with two sets of mouse buttons.
