>> I could make $10B. I still wouldn’t reach the top level of class. Maybe my kids kids will.

Is there really anyone wrong with this? If you and your family are happy, and your needs are met, and clearly you have options -- does anyone else's definition of class really matter?

> I think that's true for White and Asian folks.

Race-based generalizations almost always end up leading you in the wrong direction. There's substantially more white people living below the poverty line compared to any other group [1] and those poor white communities are trapped by the same lack of awareness of opportunities as any of the minority groups you mentioned. Whites and Asians are over-represented in the affluent groups, which leads many people to look at things through a racial lens, but on a per capita basis, whites dominate the impoverished population.

That's not general [implementation] inheritance, it's just delegation. The problematic, non-compositional feature of implementation inheritance is something known as open recursion, viz. the fact that every call to an overridden method like .move(...) - importantly, even a call that's merely a private implementation detail of some code in the base class - goes through an implied dispatch step that introduces a dependency on the actual derived class instance that the base-class method is being called on. This creates the well-known "fragile base class" problem since method calls to these possibly-overridden methods are relying on fragile, unstated invariants that might be broken in the derived classes, or altered in future versions of the base class.
This is why I said "starting to." You did notice those two very important words, didn't you? Because this is how it starts.

I agree that decreasing population is desirable from an environmental POV, to the extent that population is more or less directly proportional to consumption. But, capitalism as we know it can't survive it. Here's a good explanation: https://www.axios.com/the-new-threat-to-capitalism-73ff54bd-...

No, I'm saying that there's always going to be some level of wealth that's difficult to achieve. We can all pull a number out of thin air that's just super high, that's tough to imagine people in the bottom 20% commonly getting to in their lifetime.

For argument's sake, let's say that number is a net worth of $500K. (Because that just so happens to be the minimum net worth to be in the top 20% of Americans[0].)

What would you prefer: a world where more or fewer people were able to amass that much wealth? To me, the obvious answer is more.

It does nobody any good for fewer people to be wealthy. Sure, you could look at the numbers and conclude that there's more class mobility, but that's just because more people are poorer, not because more people are making it to $500K.

Ive been doing this kinda work professional now for 15 years now Which has all the PM and corporate stuff that goes along with professional software delveopment. ie it gets tiring at times. So this is purely a passion project.

It would be nice one day to make a few hundred or something a month as bonus play money. Not going to lie, it would be nice. But its not a requirement for me. I built this for me to use at first, I figured I use a bunch of free software others make, I should pay it forward.

But it will likely always be free in one shape or form. Maybe if there were ever a commerical application for it I could do a commerical licensing or something. Tdarr does this something like this. The motivation for that would be to devote more time/money into making it better. I want to get Intel Hardware encoding working. But my unRAID server is running an intel cpu from 2013 so doesn't support it. My dev box is a AMD cpu. I'll be upgrading my server in the not too distant future, but sure patreons or something help that to be sooner rather than later would be nice. But totally not necassary.

But for the average user, I'd like to keep it free. Properly free, not really limited free.

Also I'm not convinced there is a market for it beyond tech nerds like myself.

I also kinda treat it as an only CV/showcase.
“Hear” the Universe: a planetarium show for blind children
I'm not saying any of the people you've described fall into this category, but: there are plenty of people who struggle to pay the bills but not through lack of income. They struggle to pay the bills while always having the latest iPhone, designer clothes, drinking $7 lattes every day, etc.

On the other hand, I know people who spend less than $7 per day on their entire food budget. They receive just barely enough money per month to cover rent and food (and a little left over to pay for wifi and a small savings for computer upgrades) but they don't struggle from food insecurity. I live in Canada, though, so I don't know about the welfare situation in the US.
Happiness is a direct co-relation to GDP. The growth of a civilization is directly as a result of GDP.

For example being in nature brings you happiness. BUT this is only in well developed countries and among people with enough wealth to live comfortably.

Money does not make you happy but it gives you much more opportunity to be happy.
I mean just think for a second. There is a maximum for 4 people for every person in the top 20%. It literally cannot be “dozens” even if the entire bottom 80% was struggling for food.
The elite don't really care if the poor and middle class trade places with each other. They don't even care if the middle class disappears entirely. They just absolutely do not want the poor or middle class joining them in the elite, so they've made sure the system will prevent that.

It seems odd to couch redistribution of income within capitalist systems in Marxist terms like “redistribution in this context is giving value back to the workers who created that value”, as though the funds being redistributed will have been taken exclusively from the owners of the means of production. They’re not. The vast majority of net contributors to the system are workers. These policies just take money from some workers and give them to other workers.
too bad the unifi controller requires the use of a ridiculously outdated version of mongodb, to the extent that installing it to self host unifi on a debian system becomes more of a pain in the ass every year.

ubnt patched this because it's a huge highly publicized hole.

but the software stack that runs under the rest of unifi is a real mess.

people have said to me: "oh, okay, so they're trying to force people to buy their unifi security appliance or cloudkey thing, right?"

but the same very old stuff runs on those as well, if you poke around under the hood
It's hard to convince large swathes of progressive America of this fact.

> Loading and running a java class is only the most absurd exploitation possibility with log4j.

Uh, yeah, the RCE was very bad. And not a thing with Rust due to not having object serialization.

> you can still slurp any environment variables (or other process information) and send it to any host

Yeah, you can write a logger in rust that does really crazy things like adding environment variables through some sort of parsing of a language construct. That would still be a problem, but a lot less serious. It would probably also be really unidiomatic, but that's a separate story.
That's a totally disingenuous comparison because it ignores both prices and the actual shape of the distribution. Don't perseverate over big numbers. If everyone's income doubled overnight we'd have a wider range ... but it would be utterly meaningless if prices also doubled. Likewise, if a trillionaire magically appeared the total range would increase but that would have zero effect on what a quintile difference meant to anyone else. Absolute numbers are useless. Percentiles matter because they're intrinsically tied to the other things that give differences any meaning.
Voting is a package deal and it's quite obvious that westerners outside of the US have close to zero understanding of cultural issues, especially abortion. They'll whine about it but they never understand that for quite a large segment of the group they keep calling stupid, abortion is the wholesale slaughter of millions of babies year after year. This is not a shallow belief. It is deeply held for these people. If you don't view abortion that way, you'll just call them stupid and add it to your list of things you feel superior to them about and continue to not understand them in the slightest. Which leads people to make statements such as the one you did about people making irrational fiscal related votes when that might not have even been in their top five issues. Until you can understand the abortion issue beyond the glib dismissive "they want to control women's bodies" you will continue to not understand the people you are talking about. That understanding might not be important to you but if it is, then you must not reduce them to whatever single variable judgement you want to extrapolate into matching your viewpoint, especially when that single variable might not be of high importance to them.
Correct. Government spending (investment) is a loan we repay thru taxes.
The real excitement will come when it does not require a new $3000 graphics card to run on the home PC I already spent $1500 on...

The price of keeping up with every new enhancement on PC is directly linked to each new engine update, but somehow game releases can be "optimized" for gameplay on ~3 year old consoles... Also why I haven't bought any new PC games since GTA5.

As much as the administration and media seem set on pointlessness in Taiwan and Ukraine, I've yet to find anyone I actually know who thinks it's good idea.

China is not our friend, we would do well to be wary as recent counter intelligence activities have shown.

The enemies in congress and corporations are two sides of the same coin. It's often all the same people moving back and forth between government, NGO, corporations, lobbying, media and then back again.

Corporations use their access to capital to capture market share often at the expense of a local / small business. While 'value engineering' everything until it's shitty.
You're right on. People often think peak oil means no more oil. Really it just means it's no longer energy positive investment.

[1] The EROI for fossil fuels has decreased as the availability of oil, coal, gas has reduced and the cost of production increased. Fracking for oil or gas (as has been done in Taranaki for years) is expensive and polluting. Extracting oil from the tar sands in northern Canada is a similarly destructive process. So, what was an EROI of 100:1 last century is now sometimes little more than 10:1.

I think we’ve collapsed. A lot of peoples lives are an endless hell which I see no escape from, they just trudge along because they have some hope but haven’t fully realized how screwed they are. Many people have chosen to stop working all together. Eventually they may decide to all together stop obeying laws. A Louis Vuitton store in San Francisco was robbed blind recently.

For us elites life is still somewhat good, but the dominos are falling and we just haven’t been hit yet.

Ask HN: There should be a Reddit Alternative (This isn’t it)
I have an idea for a site with a UI modeled after the minimalism of Hacker News, but every user has their own syndication feed, and NO KARMA SYSTEM.

I cannot stress enough how toxic the karma system is. I believe online bullying is real, flag systems, and moderators are necessary. But Karma systems are often abused by punishing users for expressing opposing views. I believe this is part of what sculpts ecosystems into echo chambers. When someone gets downvoted, no matter the reason, they receive posting restrictions, bans, etc.

Why can’t there be a balance where users can post what they want as long as it isn’t bigoted?

Instead of a thousand sub Reddits, why not just 10 to 20 general boards. The user picks which of those boards they wish to subscribe to. No user generated boards so people can worship Elliott Smith and attack people who like Ed Sheeran.

Yes, my idea is basically 4chan minus the bigotry, plus user profiles. But also still focused on users posting links to articles as well as Ask posts like this one.

>Globalism is something that should be reevaluated

The global logistical issues caused by COVID, alongside China's recent belligerence, are seeing to the reversal of a certain amount of globalisation.

>Our capital is being invested into the capabilities of rivals, and it doesn't pay dividends. Americans have been turned into buyers of cheap plastic goods, and we've lost the ability to make our own critical components and wares. Huge mistake, driven in part by these narratives.

This was driven by large US companies seeking profits by offshoring the labour force to where the costs are absolutely minimised. I've believed for a long time that the US willingly and obliviously handed China the keys to the kingdom.

Additionally, the US has managed to dismantle much of the soft-power facade that used to be so well maintained.

There are no "well behaved" countries. Comparison with others is a zero-sum game. Self-analysis is required in order to know how to be better. Denial leads to repeating mistakes.

>Europeans don't give us enough credit. And they're replete with their own crises to always be pointing the finger.

Isn't The Economist a US publication? Looking at the About FAQ, I'm guessing they're US-based since the answer to this question:

Where is your head office?

Contains no reference to a city or country, but a street and a building, thus assuming a fair bit of local knowledge. Such a US trait.

The modern, global version of The Economist was created in “the tower”, as journalists refer to the tallest of the three brutalist concrete buildings that make up the Smithson Plaza (formerly The Economist Plaza) in St James’s Street. Commissioned by The Economist and designed by Alison and Peter Smithson, the tower was our home from 1964 until the summer of 2017, when we moved into the Adelphi, a 1930s art-deco office block on the Embankment.

I'm guessing they're not in Bruges.

Renting cars has always been a bad experience. Terrible websites where you don't know what car you're going to get. You arrive and they try to upsell you on a car. The employee spends 10 minutes filling out forms on their computer before they can rent you a car. Employees multitasking, going out to the lot to do car stuff while you're standing there with your ID and credit card in hand, your paperwork half filled out. Never enough staff on hand. The auto lots are always in an awkward spot that's hard to drive out of.

So I'm not surprised that their theft entry system is something trash. It's probably an Access database running on some Windows 95 node. Or maybe Gentoo.

It's clear from stories like this that Hertz has chosen to double-down on not caring, and make it part of their business model. I mean look at this non-response:

> Hertz declined to comment for this story but has previously said the "vast majority" of cases "involve renters who were many weeks or even months overdue returning vehicles and who stopped communicating with (Hertz) well beyond the scheduled due date."

The only way a company responds like that is when they fully believe that they're a staple and CAN'T go out of business. We'll see about that...

No. They can't. Not without looking like they're dying, which will cause or hasten said death.

"It's more likely that there is some trade-off which we have not discovered yet."

Clearly some tradeoffs are less relevant today than they were to a tribe of cavemen. Even if grandpa is in great shape, he will have a hard time hunting thay wooley mamoth, and having him around too long will be too many mouths to feed.

Also it's hypothetically possible to give everyone a ripped physique without gym memberships, downside of this would be increased protein consumption.
2-5 days? I'm curious, is that because you don't have anyone who has bandwidth to do ops (making end users manually do everything), or something else? Seems to me that most of this should just be installed via JAMF or your MDM of choice, so people can just take the laptop out of the box and be ready to rock once it syncs.

(Of course, the user will still have to get brew themselves most likely so the permissions are right, but everything else can be done on a system-wide level and be zero-touch for the end user.)

edit: Sorry if this sounded snarky, I didn't intend it to be. Everyone has to allocate resources somehow. If you ever have time for a weekend project, I'd look up the cloud version of JAMF ($3 per device per month) or Intune (approximately the same if you have Microsoft services). Couple days of work and you'll have a much easier end-user experience.

> I cannot imagine being part of it.

It would likely be temporary until we find a way to create more space and/or move to a synthetic medium.

In either case, it would be a choice. If you think people would choose living forever over having kids, you yourself are implying that people would find living forever more meaningful than having children, thus not "depriving them of the meaningful aspects of their lives," but rather, introducing something more meaningful: the ability to enjoy life without the Damocles Sword of death.

Bodily autonomy/choice ought to be a part of any society, and that includes dying when you choose to die. Who is anyone to tell an individual when they should die? The best we can do is give them the choice, as it's a deeply personal decision.
Doing hard things can be good. We shouldn’t try to stop people from doing things just because others find it difficult.
Yes, you got it exactly. This is the democratization of AAA graphics. This whole city was made with just a team of 70. (Red Dead Redemption 2 had a team of 1,600.) They relied heavily on Epic’s giant library of game assets that anyone can use. They used procedural generation to mix those assets in to create the map and random procedural generation of the pedestrians. The lighting and physics system are also Unreal Engine features. This whole Matrix project is getting released so devs can use it and base their games off it. The graphics are better, yes, but what this is really selling is the ability to make great looking AAA quality games in less time with fewer people.
I think it is better to speak of uniquely Neanderthal genes. Our genome must have been almost identical to the Neanderthal genome, given that interbreeding was both possible and that the hybrid offspring remained fertile. So it is likely that many people alive today do indeed have genes from the Neanderthal line, but those genes are either identical to human genes or so close that we cannot distinguish their Neanderthal original from ordinary variations/mutations.
