I do the same thing, with a different mix of services:

- A database to support a web development project.

- A web server to support a web development project.

- An NFS server, for data backups.

It accrues value specifically because people don't use it.

Currencies don't skyrocket in value because it cripples the economy if that happens. In currency terms, it would yield a deflationary spiral. What happens is people save their currency instead of spending it, which causes retailers to lower the prices to incentivize spending. This in turn means they have less money to pay their workers, and they have to cut their pay and lay them off. This means the workers have less money to spend and the cycle continues.

Even without a deflationary spiral, there's something called the paradox of thrift. [1]

Something like 80% of Bitcoin hasn't moved in the last year.

If we set aside the influence of USDT, the narrative you're pointing to would be that people are valuing Bitcoin more highly because of its utility as some form of currency - maybe, one day. In reality, due to its fundamental limitations and incentive structures (2-3 tx/sec), it cannot be a currency. It will always be the currency of the future, forever.

Actually eating oneself to death doesn't really have a net negative on society. In fact the opposite. We don't HAVE to allocate money the way we do, the eating problems aren't the cause of bad monetary policy.

In fact, there are signs that suggest the "bad monetary policy" is beneficial, since we've opted to keep it that way.

People have trouble coming to an agreement with their neighbors — and here you are asking for all countries of the world to decide how they are going to legislate multinational entities like Visa in simple, straightforward, and mutually fair way. And United Nations is going to ensure that no country can forbid Visa to operate on its territory.

Each country is surely going to legislate within its borders, but outside it's quickly turning into the international law territory. And the great secret of international law is that there isn't any.

Bitcoin at least provides actually internationally enforceable operation framework. You cannot unilaterally alter the deal.

Honestly, as a pedestrian and cyclist myself, wearing closed-backed, ear-obstructing, or noise cancelling headphones as a pedestrian, cyclist, or driver, is pure insanity as far as I'm concerned.

The government already regulates what you have for breakfast. Think about how many federal organizations are out there regulating every aspect of food production. The fact that you don't realize this is indicative of how unfounded your fears are about government over-reach.

Additionally, the Free Market provides health insurance companies with the power to charge extra who smoke, don't exercise, or otherwise practice unhealthy habits. I have to upload fitness data, get annual physicals, and do a bunch of other little things not required of people on Medicaid.

Anti-government people forget that they have a lot more influence over government organizations than they do private ones. If people are pissed at the government, they have elected reps with the power to solve the issue. If they get pissed at a private org, there's not much that can be done unless what they are doing is illegal (even then, it will take years to remedy).
This is the answer really. Wealth accumulation and powerful enterprises lobbying and dividing societies in their own interests. Whether its BP making you believe your own carbon footprint offsets there or social media giants playing to one-side in an election to keep favourable rules in place. You won't see this common sense in politics though as it would open more competition if they weren't able to using lobbying to support their own reelections.
Obesity is driven by consumption and consumption drives the US economy.

We know that obesity and age are two of the biggest factors in COVID outcomes. We obviously can't make ourselves younger, so I have been genuinely surprised that there hasn't been any push for diet and exercise over the last 20 months. Instead, all we see pushed are pills and shots, sold as working "just like magic", instead of any kind of actual work on the part of each individual. But what president is going to go on TV and tell everyone to consume less when they view the economy as their ticket to reelection?

There are no bank fees in the EU? In the US, most accounts need to maintain a minimum balance, otherwise they get hit with a monthly fee.

Sci-hub has a Nano address set up, but then the issue is they still need to redeem them into a more usable currency at some point and the work to do that is barely worth the bit that they have received.

It didn't go from $0 to $1. It was always "$0 to most, $1 for those that really didn't care about paying because they knew that anything else would have much higher real costs"

Hell, If WhatsApp ever got to say "Facebook wants to buy us, but we are also considering changing to a pay-what-you-want model to avoid selling out", I'd easily give them $10/year without batting an eye.
That would be a wealth tax, which seems to be verboten in the US.

That is a 5% tax estimate on total wealth, if you take the percentage of actual wealth increase then it is much higher.

To be honest a fixed percentage tax would then be better because it will force them to invest, too big percentage and they will have to take risky investments, and forcing people in that corner is not good.

Aside from "rewrite in rust" debate that I was unaware of, there seems to be this pervasive attitude among the HN hivemind that the end-goal for all projects, side- or main-, is "launch", and therefore needs a market analysis to decide the "worth" of such an idea, and it ends up being rather silly.

> The key here from a government standpoint is Obesity impacts the life of the obese person only.

Not at all. There's a cost to society as a whole and an important cost: it blocks beds in the hospitals, it blocks doctors and an obese person, I take it, does consume more food etc. All these have a cost on society as a whole. Now I'm not saying people shouldn't have a right to smoke, drink alcohol or be obese: that some officials are so dumb they believe the cost of obesity is only to the obese person, I don't doubt it one second. But they're totally wrong.

There is an obesity epidemic both in the US and in Europe. The number of obese kids in Europe keeps going up and up. In the mediterannean countries there are up to 21% of the kids of 6 to 9 years that are already obese (Spain / Italy / Greece / Chyprus etc. When I go to Spain it really shows. It's scary. And it's scarier to see what the parents puts in their basket at the grocery store).

If you then take into account the fact that something like 92% of the obese kids stay obese their entire life, you understand why it's a very serious public health matter.

And if these kids are obese I do believe society, as a whole, has a responsibility. They're being fed junk and hardly anyone cares.

Cars are getting safer by the day. The obesity problem is getting worse by the day.

It's apple to oranges, but if priorities have to be set I know where I'd set them.
It's hard to reduce pedestrian-vehicle contact, in my opinion, when you have vehicles where the drivers are just so much more powerful than the pedestrian. Part of the reason people even buy those is to sit up higher, and be bigger than the others, and there's no way to reconcile that with pedestrian safety imo. Especially when speeding and reckless driving is so damn common in America. People feel untouchable in them, and that means there's an increase in the contact rates regardless of whether pedestrians have right-away or not.

Internet Law
"Actually, I feel that driving safety is probably one of the top issues that politicans legislate on (in the form of drunk driving legislation, speed camera legislation, distracted driving, safety requirements, etc etc etc)."

This is really not a top priority for politicians. I don't see them running on a traffic safety platform. There are very few updates to driving laws. Most of them have nothing to do with actual safety either. Red light cameras are mostly about revenue, for example.

The number one thing they can do to enhance safety is to make the testing more strict. The current test is a joke. I haven't noticed any candidates supporting this.

The reason this, and others, are shrugged off is that people see value in the things to be regulated (driving, soda, junk food, etc) and don't want government involvement in their lives to increase without a clearly defined benefit. They want to see that it won't negatively impact them while providing a benefit. That's hard to do for the whole population. Not to mention many of the proposals have pretty terrible value propositions.
I don't know, I have kept my camera on for the last 6 months during my current project and it is exhausting. Its not like a regular in person meeting, your face is magnified. Every flaw is made larger, if I have not shaved or had a chance to shower yet (we have very early meetings to accommodate offshore teams) its obvious. Keeping the camera on means that people are seeing your house which is far more personal that meeting in an office. I have kids that regularly wreck the place and if I don't have time to clean up after dropping them off at school it can be obvious. In addition camera being on means I have to face it and it limits my ability to work during the meeting. One might argue that I should not be working during the meeting but I have work that needs to get done regardless of how many useless meetings I am dragged into every day (lots). I decided today that going forward I am going to keep my camera off. If someone calls me out on it I will reconsider but going forward I am going to be comfortable. Working from home already means I am always at work, I am going to attempt to claw back some of my independence.

We should not interpret this to mean TP makes you better at entrepreneurial thinking. It means you are more likely to try to start a business without a sound rational basis.

Occasionally, a business without a sound rational basis succeeds: Pet Rocks made certain people lots of money. (Yes, really! Look it up.) But it's not the way to bet.

Infection with TP caused men to become reckless drivers, and (incidentally) less attractive to women. It affected women the opposite way: they became more risk-averse and conformant, and presumably more attractive to those men who seek that out.
It's a bunch of crap, as stated, not matching even what's claimed by the less-reputable sources I could find. Here's an OK-ish source that uses the same numbers as even worse sources:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2015/10/01/epa...

However, the story is 1) old, 2) overblown crap, and 3) I can't find any other angles on this to fill in gaps—I'm wondering in particular whether some of their choices of vendors are due to requirements to spend X% of their non-wage budget with US companies, or other, similar pressure.

Regarding #2, once you work your way past the deliberately-bad use of math required to make this look like "news", it amounts to, "the EPA spent ~$600 per worker per year on office furniture and expenses related to office furniture like storage and moving fees"—which seems... entirely normal? Even low? The story only looks like a story at a glance because they intentionally misrepresent what's going on. All the pieces are there to figure it out, to their credit, but once you work through it it's not newsworthy whatsoever.

This is, as they say, fake news.

[EDIT] the piece also seems to rely on people not generally knowing what it costs to buy furniture that'll last 10+ years under heavy use. Even cheap large conference room tables are not cheap, actually. Now, if they're buying these then throwing them out after a couple years, and it's not just the political appointees at the top doing this, then there's reason to complain about the agency itself.

The easiest way on the Pi is to install the HomeAssistant plugin, but it's quite easy to set up on a Linux too. Generate two keys, copy paste them in a five line config, same thing on the client.

This sounds like a design choice that was made decades ago and permeated everything else in Linux. I don't think it's changeable at this point, if they wanted to.

I think it's pretty cool that video is getting such a performance boost, however there are more developers than video editors out there that could have used few more general purpose cores on the silicon.

One (small) consideration is weight. Both version weigh more than previously - so if the previous 16" was already pushing what you find comfortable to carry, then the 14' might be a better choice.
Java is not usually considered to be a statically-typed language and I was not implying that it was. And the definition of dynamic typing is somewhat vague to me, although allowing unspecified type inference is somewhat dynamic, even though one cannot reassign the variable to a different type at a later point.

And my point about was that Java was designed to be verbose, except that now “var” breaks this verboseness. I am sure there was plenty debate on this topic already, but I thought it would be interesting to reason about how this changes the character and perception of Java.
Personally I've never heard anybody utter something similar.
> The key here from a government standpoint is Obesity impacts the life of the obese person only.

This couldn't be more wrong. Maybe you have a source for your claim? Doubtful, but maybe.

Per the Harvard School of Public Health: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/obesity-prevention-source/obesi...

"Excess weight harms health in many ways. It increases the risk of developing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, and some cancers, to name just a few, and reduces the life span. Treating obesity and obesity-related conditions costs billions of dollars a year. By one estimate, the U.S. spent $190 billion on obesity-related health care expenses in 2005-double previous estimates. The enormity of this economic burden and the huge toll that excess weight takes on health and well-being are beginning to raise global political awareness that individuals, communities, states, nations, and international organizations must do more to stem the rising tide of obesity."

"Days missed from work are a cost to both employees (in lost wages) and employers (in work not completed). Obese employees miss more days from work due to short-term absences, long-term disability, and premature death than non-obese employees. They may also work at less than full capacity (also known as presenteeism)."

"Employers pay higher life insurance premiums and pay out more for workers’ compensation for employees who are obese than for employees who are not."

It sure sounds like obese folks affect more than just themselves. I'd prefer that my health insurance premiums don't rise more than they have to due to your love of ice cream.
> Pedestrian fatalities have increased by over 50% since 2010

It's a bit misleading to say that; you're not accounting for population growth, for one thing. According to https://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/states/statespedestrians.aspx, the numbers are:

year killed population fatality rate (per 100,000 people)
2010 4,302 309,322,000 1.39
2019 6,205 328,240,000 1.89

So fatality rate did increase, but not by 50%. And in fact, it's down to 1.89 in 2019 from 1.95 in 2018, to give some context as to wiggle room. Also, the rate varies wildly by state (anywhere from 0.48 to 3.96)
