>Scientific knowledge usually goes into the public domain through patents and other information-sharing techniques. We didn't lose Newton's, Einstein's, and all our other scientific forebears' knowledge because they died. Come on.

But if I use it it is unfair. You said to be fair, I quote, "the success of any individual would only depend on their own actions and work." That means I can't use Newton's work because that is not my own action or work. If I use it my sucess depends on his action and work too.

> If one of your children takes all the candy away from their siblings, and you redistribute the candy to your other children, that's a type of coercion to enforce fairness.

I don't follow how that is fair. One child just robbed another child, that seems the essence of unfairness. This is even more apparent when I say "one farmer worked hard and bred 9 cows while the lazy farmer barely fed his one. I took 4 cows from the hard working farmer and gave them to the lazy one so both had 5."

> instead spend it while you're living on your children's education

But that would be unfair as the child would benefit unfairly from my success rather than solely his/her own.
How do you suggest the removal of a dictator should occurs? A stern letter?

The language used is interesting - eg "an invasion of bandit formations trained from abroad".

Is ‘bandit’ a common translation that gets used, or some state propaganda that’s being parroted?

It could be both I suppose.

Broadly speaking, I agree with you that lack of housing can lead to increased mortality, whether from greater exposure to violence from other transients, heat or cold stress, greater drug use caused by stress, making it harder to get attention to medical issues, or other factors. I also think some of the population is homeless because of medical issues, such as severe mental illness, and those are a risk factor that lead to early death and contribute to the statistic you cited.

At the same time, I continue to think it is unsurprising that a group of 5 specific people with existing cancer (brain cancer no less!) and severe kidney issues died, and suspect they would have died regardless. The 5-year survival rate for people with a cancerous brain or CNS tumor is apparently 36%; in an elderly person on medicaid (if anything), whether housed or not, I suspect it is less.

In other words, I don't think we disagree, but think that this is a bad group of 5 individuals to use to advocate the issue...

Yes there's less distinction between the church and the state, that goes in almost every ex-eastern bloc country.Happens here in other countries aswell.Every country has it's shit hidden somewhere, in EE it just stinks more because we don't have money to spray some perfume. The Media is owned by politicians entirely and guess what: that still doesn't do much.You have western[to be read: foreign-imported] rhetoric everywhere, and that makes people still support these 'evil' politicians.So in retrospective you're kind of wrong, because democracy is exactly the thing that put in power the people you don't like.It's a Streisand effect mainly in response to foreign influence that keeps these corrupt politicians in power, because more often than not the alternative is a puppet who knows even less.[By the way is not an excuse for them being corrupt & scummy, i'm just giving a quick rundown to establish these things are not artificial]

Also if you want a free advice: you don't "beat" PiS or any other party that's well-established by crying out corruption, because that's just a lost cause.[You can look at the figure representing european justice right now -- who's from EE -- who correctly stated that there's no difference between EE/WE corruption]; You beat it by recognizing the policies you advocate them don't resonate with the people, and make compromises where necessary.

Sometime back I read a blog post by an early Amazon employee. I am not able to find that blog now, but the title was something on the lines of "The best decision I ever made." In that blog post the author narrated an incident at Amazon involving himself. When that incident happened the author had just joined Amazon. After a few weeks of working there, the author realised that his manager was taking credit for all the work his team members were doing without giving any credit to the team members who actually did the job. So he decided to raise this issue in the all staff meeting. At that time Amazon was a very small company. Jeff Bezos use to conduct the meetings. So when the author raised this issue(without naming the manager) in the meeting, Jeff Bezos replied that life is too short to work on or work for someone where you will not be happy. It is better to keep looking for the things that will make you happy, here or somewhere else.

The author left Amazon in a few days. Driving back home, stopped at a place not knowing what to do next. Decided to do his own startup, and after few false starts finally became a successful entrepreneurs himself.

Just thought of sharing this story here.
>And with credit, money lent out is money that doesn't actually exist until made real by repayment which must come from extracting value from this planet at ever increasing unsustainable rates.

You couldn't be more wrong here. Credit creates new money. The money doesn't get destroyed again until either the credit gets paid off or the lender defaults.

The Earth's resources don't magically spring into the air when someone takes a loan. If consumption is indeed unsustainable, it's because that's what people want. Industrialization is what's destroying the earth, people who lived in countries with bad economics like the Soviet Union wanted to industrialize just as much as capitalist nations, if not more so. They drained half the Aral Sea just to provide their textile factories with cotton. It just happened that they were so bad at industrializing that they polluted and consumed less. People caring about the environment is only possible in world with enough surplus to worry about it.

>Credit creates money out of nowhere, effectively imposing a tax on everyone and making them poorer so that banks can extract profits

Again, complete nonsense. Alice takes a loan for Bob to build a home. The value of the money created with the loan comes from the new home that Bob built. Banks aren't extracting profits from diluted money, they get paid for providing financial services. Sometimes, they offer financial services for bullshit, but just means that the government should implement better policy.
But why is that an issue at all ? Having boost and other utilities is great. And since it's all templates there's in practice in your binary no added cost if you're using folly::foo or std::foo or boost::foo, you can pick and choose the exact data structures that allow exactly what you want (or write your own if you think that you can do a few percent better than folly of abseil in your specific use case).

> Why exactly is cannabis packaged and flavored like snacks for young children?

Fwiw, I have a strongly contrasting opinion here. I'm 30 years old, hardly a young child, and I still like the taste of candy and fruit juice. In a parallel universe somewhere, a version of you is advocating for banning Mimosas because its juice contents obviously increases the chances that kids will drink it when they shouldn't. Can't we just admit that adults like sugar too and knock off all this "sugar means targeting young children" crap?

Truthfully, just to give a perspective, since while I trust you, this has been the total opposite for me. Case in point of writing this comment; were I at work, the stress and fear of being watched kept me honest and FAR more focused, and helped give good reinforcement cycles to the patterns of behavior I wanted to maintain.

What you say about distractions/focus was absolutely present, to be clear, and required conscious balance to where I sat/had my field of view to have "the right sort of interruptions" but without too many such that I lost flow every time someone walked behind me

WFH and removal of office culture has been absolutely brutal for my mental health, ability to focus and work velocity, not to mention oddly orthogonal things like sleep cycle (I'm EXTREMELY routine driven, and having no differentiation in my day obliterates that. Have tried going for runs etc but it's not the same, coworking spaces as well but they're a bit of a double edged sword without many of the benefits of a true team environment.) and overall happiness.

The really funny thing is, I was, and continue to be, one of the most vocal supporters of wfh/allowing wfh, but this other extreme has been so much harder than I ever thought it was going to be at the start.
> But if I use [scientific knowledge] it is unfair.

No it isn't; everyone gets to use it by nature of it being public knowledge.

> You said to be fair, I quote, "the success of any individual would only depend on their own actions and work."

I said no such thing.

> I don't follow how [redistributing candy among siblings] is fair. One child just robbed another child, that seems the essence of unfairness.

Usually, when a child gets all of everything compared to their siblings, it's because the first child got it unfairly in the first place. Redistribution in this case is correcting for the original unfairness. Note the fact pattern I stated: one child "took the candy away."

> This is even more apparent when I say "one farmer worked hard and bred 9 cows while the lazy farmer barely fed his one. I took 4 cows from the hard working farmer and gave them to the lazy one so both had 5."

So what you're telling us is that you don't actually have children and this whole thread is just some libertarian claptrap. Okay then.
I take it you agree with the calculations, then, but disagree with their implications?

Increasing electricity production 5% would not mean mass starvation. China increased electricity production 5% every six months throughout the 02010s. The US did it every year in the 01960s. It's not some kind of impossible obstacle to "maintain[ing] anything like our current lifestyle".

Yeah, it's only applicable to processes that are repeatable and have some amount of measurability - hence the natural application to manufacturing.

I'm not surprised that managers in non-manufacturing/technical areas picked up on it, since it's easy to understand at a glance. However, it's difficult to implement well.

Morally, I find it much more acceptable for governments to use non-coercitive methods like hacking instead of coercitive methods like subpoenas requesting user data.
They didn't get flipped off for having bad drivers. They got flipped off for having closed source off-tree drivers.

The NVIDIA driver on Linux is extremely good and in my experience of better quality than AMD, but sorely lacking in modern features such as Wayland support. We still don't have decent hardware encoding nor raytracing support on AMD, the champions of free software, while DLSS and NVENC have been running on Linux for a while now.

I run AMD GPUs now but I'm quite done with the NVIDIA hate boner the Linux world has.
But that happens everywhere in the world where there’s public television. In Spain that even happens with private television since they’ve been giving them money as some sort of “pandemic relief”, making sure they never speak ill of the measures put in place. Public television shouldn’t exist in this day and age.
Though this is one reason why we can do better than RSS: the implementer (or HN commenter) isn’t the one that should get to decide what I primarily or secondarily use my “feed reader” for. In this case, my local post-RSS feed reader is absolutely a way for me to store content for consumption on my own time, not just a notification service.

I don't care what you use it for. You can use SMS messages primarily to make a phone stuffed in your underwear keep vibrating, but if you want to complain that it's an inconvenient teledildonics protocol and client, that's on you.

Though, if you think you can code up a "smart client" that doesn't use puny RSS, but can "handle all websites" and will work better at tracking and delivering content to you than RSS does on zillions of websites (including new ones), you open up your editor and get at it, then. Have fun.

> I get informed all the time on HackerNews that I cannot negotiate certain things. But I can, and do it all the time.

That's different, and yes, you should absolutely negotiate! Their policy has them offer you below what they are happy to pay, well below what they are willing to pay. Do some research first, pick comps like a realtor picking houses. Understand you're on the sell side, so pick defensible and high comps.

Most likely, they didn't really pick comps, because the people who set their pay bands don't know that the consultant market data about tech jobs includes your uncle's other nephew that fixes computers at home, and a lot of other classes lumped in by job classifications, so the numbers they think are true are .. half? .. what you could make at a good shop. So again, choose well and defensibly.

Now the tables are turned, information asymmetry is in your favor. If they were lowballing, they'll come up easily. If they were stuck in a pay band, you're enabling them to get unstuck, which helps them and you. You have a valid pay scale, it's not about whether they evaluated you well during interviewing, its about whether the company is hiring well. In this situation the hiring manager probably has gathered their HR team is trying to make them under-pay, you're probably the nth candidate asking for more than they were told to offer -- but you're the first to bring them the proof points. They now go have an internal fight, better armed, and get you paid. Maybe.

But to be clear, YES - NEGOTIATE. :-)

For what its worth, this also works of course at the car dealer, but also at, say, BestBuy, or retail clothing stores, or most anywhere incentives can become aligned.

PS. Contrary to your characterization of my thinking, I never thought like you used to think (wink), as I came of age in Africa myself. All prices for anything in both directions were fluid and dynamic. So I came back to the US and just said "here's what I'll pay" and it worked.
It's not "most Poles". It's realistically a quarter, maybe a third of the population. Thankfully, the turnout increased from 51% in 2015 (when they won the absolute majority for the first time with 38%) to 68% in the second presidential election vote in 2020 (when they also won, but with a pretty slim margin).
I agree, but I think you and others are missing the primary point of the quote, or interpreting it too literally (which is fair, that is what the quote says after all).

The primary point is that agriculture, as it is currently practiced on a large scale, is extremely dependent on non-renewable resources and the energy in those resources. It's not just natural gas used for nitrogen, it's also things like phosphate mining.

Yes, the amount of calories in the final product largely comes from the sun, but it is the energy in those (currently) petroleum products that unlocks a plant's ability to photosynthesize in the first place.
one is more or less based on matlab's plotting procedures, the other is an attempt at a cogent implementation of a OOP implementation. However, the OOP paradigm just doesn't seem very good for plotting.

Personally, I like plotting in R way better than in python. It has a lot better developer UX.
Vanity metrics don’t have to be high numbers, they can be low numbers too. The author is just swapping high head count with low head count as a vanity metric, using low headcount as an efficiency indicator. Without knowing what the people are working on/achieving, headcount is useless either way.

Your rebuttal is outrage at the number of children I have?

>No it isn't; everyone gets to use it by nature of it being public knowledge.

The definition of fair presented on the thread we are on specifically said, "In a fair world, the success of any individual would only depend on their own actions and work." If you want to change that definition then why are you arguing with me? My whole point was the absurdity. Newton's work was performed by Newton, not you or I or any other living person.

>Usually, when a child gets all of everything compared to their siblings, it's because the first child got it unfairly in the first place

That's far from a given. I was an only child but had best friends with a lot of people with siblings who commonly had scenarios with winner-take-all for certain goods because of chores they did, gambling, won a game, whatever. But it's true, unfairness does exist in the world. I never said unfairness doesn't exist at all.

>one child "took the candy away."

Yes it is unfair to take away things that one obtained consensually, like to take away someone's inheritance.

>I said no such thing.

Sorry I was quoting the original quote we both responded to above, I didn't realize you were actually disagreeing with it. If that was not your belief then you aren't really even rebutting against me because my rebuttal was against this statement I replied to and then you replied to me.

[reproduced here ]
In a fair world, the success of any individual would only depend on their own actions and work. Inheritance acts against this principle.

>No it isn't; everyone gets to use it by nature of it being public knowledge.

BUT THE PERSON I REPLIED TO SAID, "In a fair world, the success of any individual would only depend on their own actions and work". What do you not get about that? You're AGREEING WITH ME that by the OP definition using scientific knowledge is "unfair."
