In this kind of scheme, you don't get what you paid back as cash, you get something more like a dividend of the revenues (possibly just as a non-refundable income tax rebate or something, or as a dividend check given to all adults, depending on the particulars of your region's tax aversions).

So you're actually incentivized to consume less, because you get more out of it if your tax payments are less than your dividend.

Obviously there might be some perverse incentives to like.. causing a global increase in emissions while keeping your own small somehow but those are probably hard to significantly profit from.
I'm not sure population is too important here, that stat would just make dense countries look 'better'. In reality if you want to ship something from California to DC by Rail, it really doesn't matter that 95% of those 3000 miles have almost no one living nearby.

We're talking about Semi Trucks here, so clearly this conversation is in regards to cargo.
Most of the highest-impact charities wouldn't score highly on a “what happens to the money” metric. Think of the good stuff the Gates Foundation has been doing, or the GiveWell top charities. It's a good way of measuring the benefits of cash injection, but that's all.
It is just a nuanced semantic distinction. You are immune in the sense that you never notice the virus (in some cases) or have no severe impacts (in others). But you are (never?) immune in the sense that you literally never have the virus replicate in you at all.

I am reminded of the recent twitter thread posted here by Dan Luu about how communicating nuance at scale is impossible.

Semi under 12 tons can go up to 110km/h in France, and I think most of them drive around that speed.
I can't believe no one at any step of the process gave them a warning about flat roofs, huge glass windows, having a pool, etc. in frigid mountain areas with tons of snow. I feel like there must be a lot more to this story, like cycling through different architects and engineers until one would finally not tell them the idea was bonkers.
When I moved from Windows 11 to Linux, the first thing I looked for was an audio player as simple, fast, full featured, and with small UI that won't occupy a large portion of the screen. I ended running WACUP with Wine and haven't looked back. The compact and stackable UI of Winamp is still the best after all these years, and it just works.
Streaming services leverage playlists, and they insert ads into those playlists.

Not meant as an attack on the parent comment but I've been interested in the concept of judging things by inputs versus outputs. I see aspects of this in many controversial subjects; particularly homelessness. Different groups of people seem to focus on one side and ignore the other side of the equation when making arguments. These groups just end up talking past each other then and don't make progress towards a consensus.

I'm curious what kind of research (or keywords to search for) there is around this topic. Is it just a morality thing or does it go beyond that?
how did you get started in this?
Please don't take HN threads further into tedious flamewars. Those have nothing to do with intellectual curiosity, and are therefore off topic here.

'In the beginning, only about 25-35% of CAR-T cell recipients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia experienced a complete remission of their cancer, says Porter.'

Things like rust-analyzer are exactly what I think lead me to believe... what if code was designed to be imported by a "database" and then changes could be made there and serialized back. Not too dissimilar to how unison lets you select functions to edit, but drop the cli and text files requirements. Create an API/UI/etc. to edit the "code" in the "database".

I used webex only for conferences but, unlike Teams it could do full screen display of the shared screen. In teams it is very important that a rectangle with the initials of your conference partner occupies half the screen. It's almost hilarious that Microsoft things that auto hiding things in Word or excel is ok (scrollbar, ribbon) but in Teams you are literarly forced to see every crap without the possibility to hide it (a big title/ menu bar, big rectangles with initials of conference participants). Teams is the worst screen sharing program i have ever seen.

> Momentum is not helpful the moment the kid is not in direct view.

Assuming things still exist for one or two seconds after losing sight of them isn't a difficult task. It's still a pretty basic momentum calculation. It's not about modeling the mind of the child to know if they'll continue: the dumbest option says motion will continue and gives you the safe result here.

Because they're not cautious around cars and/or wait for the last second on purpose? Switching to the perception of the thing getting hit is a very different context.
Agreed, but they are the ones that peddle that way of viewing things to their own population to get what they want, and they should be called out for it.
>Were the 2008 bank bailouts done because it was the morally right thing to do or because they felt like it was important to secure the value of the economy

Both. It was done to preserve the value of the overall economy. That impacts everyone at every level of society and therefore it was the morally right thing to do. You can argue that the specific action taken wasn't the most effective approach, but the goals were noble in 2008. The goal here is that these rich people don't want to lose their investments.
The purpose is not to control people's behavior over the next several thousand years. The purpose is to behave ethically with respect to people over the next several thousand years.

It is very common for stocks to significantly rise or fall after the release of earnings reports. If stocks always went up after their earnings report, it would make sense to buy the stock beforehand and sell immediately afterwards. Conversely, if the stock always went down after earnings, it would make sense to sell the stock right before the report was released and rebuy afterwards.

I noticed that often times these dips lead to sensationalist headlines like "Apple shares tank 5% after abysmal earnings". When I looked into these headlines, I often noticed that the stock often "plummeted" to the price it was at a week or two prior.

To counter this, one metric I use is, "When was the last time the stock was at this new price?"

Today Facebook shares are trading at ~$238. The last time it was trading at this price was June 2020.

OK, I actually know about garbage disposals, because I looked up data on them to use them as an example of something you would not casually hook up to the internet. (The CPSC tabulates reportable injuries on all kinds of consumer products).

About one person per month has a reportable injury due to an unfortunate encounter with a garbage disposal. Most years no one gets their fingers mangled. Also, they don't grind your hand to a bloody stump like you'd imagine from horror novels and movies.

The overwhelming majority of these injuries involve fishing broken glass out by hand. A significant minority of them involve dropping the disposal on oneself while installing or removing one.

So no, they're not "perfectly safe" with the power turned off.

The two options are dismantle the masts for passage under the bridge(it appears a poor design to have a sailing ship with a mast that can not easily be repaired) or dismantle and reassemble the bridge and you can bet that Bezos is paying the city of Rotterdam to preform this passage action.

But as you can tell from the fervor of accusations here "Jeff Bezos pays the city of Rotterdam to temporarily dismantle the De Hef bridge for passage of his new superyacht" does not make a good headline.

Of course the Iliad has an original. It's a poem written by Homer [1]. Feel free to read the original yourself [2] if you don't believe me.

I suppose you might interpret "Faust" as possibly referring to the general legend of Faust, but OP was almost certainly referring to Goethe's Faust, "considered by many to be...the greatest work of German literature" [3].

Ask HN: Team spends all our time fixing CI
I work at a large tech company, I’ve been on the team a few years. We’re building a Kubernetes based service and spend an incredible amount of time on CI related issues. One team member in particular is constantly making tweaks to the pipeline, pushing for improvements and talking about it constantly. The build is broken most of the time. I feel pretty dejected as we don’t seem to deliver much user value. As it’s a big company we just seem to fly under the radar. Anyone else have similar experiences?

At the rate things are going, in a few more years I wouldn't even be able to afford the home that we got into in 2016. It's already "appreciated" by 60% with no signs of slowing down. Every home that sells in our neighborhood today sells inside of a weekend and for "record-breaking" amounts. It's hard for me to even describe the way that this makes me feel. I suppose that I should be happy because, wow, look at my "investment" go! But, I don't. I feel afraid for my family's future, especially so when it concerns my very young children. I imagine that this is similar to how people felt during the run-up to the 2008 crisis.

> Canada promised to do that and the proposal was still wildly unpopular and abandoned. <...> I've concluded that any consumer impacting carbon tax cannot work in a democratic system.

We have a carbon tax in Canada and it's probably not going away any time soon (it is, in fact, scheduled to continue going up), so I'm not sure what you mean here. The provinces can do a rebate/dividend if they want and/or run their own system designed that way but I'm not sure if any have.

I'm not sure if your first statement is just saying we abandoned a rebate, but your last statement implies you think any consumer carbon pricing is impossible regardless of that, while your example says otherwise.
Ah I wasn't aware of that. So Jump Trading has a relationship with Tether..?
Anecdotal regional issue:

I had an AirTag on my AirPod Pro's case that was stolen. I immediately notified Austin's police (APD) as I could see where it was going. Unfortunately, due to understaffing of 100-200 police officers and detectives, most calls unrelated to imminent threats of injury or death aren't being handle for days or ever. So, it's open-season on packages and property because APD can't or won't do its job, even if you tell them where stolen property is located. As long as a crime is nonviolent or the threat of violence has passed (with the exception of rape), ATX has the security measures of a third-world country. I met a UT campus police officer who refuses to live in or bring his family to ATX because of the risks and de facto lawlessness.
NSO, while having the blessing of a nation state, is still a private company, but has access to some very high-end exploits that would almost certainly require a very large team to develop and to keep ahead of the fixes. It is just more likely they are going the cheaper route of buying the exploits and copy/pasting them into their system. This way they can outbid most others as they are reselling the exploits multiple times to many different nations - the other potential buyers, e.g. intelligence services are buying only for themselves and are limited in their budgets.
Google Maps is one case where I don't think it's frivolous. It's often used as an in-car guidance app, and driving at night you really do want more than just turning down the brightness.

That's a solution that seems to work for every other app I use, and the phone does it for me. I try to avoid custom modes of anything as much as I can. I prefer the default-case experience, which is usually the best optimized and least likely to get me into a situation I can't get out of.

The impression I get is that developers are noisy about it, and since they're the ones in the room, their voices get heard. Other users who want different forms of accessibility don't attract as much attention and so it's not top of anybody's backlog.
YouTube music offered to import my personal music library (on my phone). I declined, because the last time I allowed that to happen on Google Play Music (now retired) it was covertly deleting music from my library, and carefully picking which songs to play every time I used it.

You simply can't trust free apps any more. Probably can't even trust many of the paid ones because making people buy the same thing multiple times is more profitable for opportunistic individuals.

I think there's a double standard here, and people bifurcate on which standard they think should change.

On one hand, businesses fight to reduce their opex liabilities by paying people as little as they can to fill the role. On the other hand, some workers fight to reduce their time liabilities by doing as little as they can to satisfy that role.

I think it's hard to denounce the latter while maintaining that the former is fine.

The moral lens we use for businesses is very different than the one we use for people.

For example:

> you're basically taking advantage of someone's ignorance to scam that person

This is arbitrage in a nutshell, and people don't usually have an issue with it when businesses do it. Dropshippers are doing pretty much exactly this.

To me, it just needs to be consistent. So long as there remains an adversarial relationship between employers and employee, employees should be allowed to take advantage of the same tactics. If employers want to try to reduce their liabilities by paying as little as they can, employees should be able to try to reduce their liabilities by doing as little work as they can.

Also, a lot of people (maybe most of us here) are not paid for the time they put in, because they're salaried (again, likely to the employer's benefit). I don't get paid more for working 50 hours than I do for 40.

> If you tell some granny that fixing her toilet will cost her 5k€ because it will take you a month, and you do it in a day, you're basically taking advantage of someone's ignorance to scam that person.

Just another tidbit on this (sorry it's somewhat out of order): you're taking advantage of the granny because no one expects her to know what it costs to fix a toilet. I think there's a reasonable expectation for a company to understand it's labor needs and costs, which makes it far less objectionable. If they want to buy X, and they buy from a dropshipper for twice the price instead of direct from the manufacturer, has the dropshipper done something wrong?

Or what if they want a widget, don't specify the material, and the manufacturer makes it out of plastic even though the per-unit price is high enough to afford metal (presuming metal is better)? Is it on the manufacturer to cut their profits as low as possible to sell the best product, or are they allowed to simply comply with the requirements they were given and pocket the rest?
Yeah until they have family tie in I hardly see the point.
I don't see how this is an indicator of that. They didn't put in USD. They put in ETH. Which is a thing that has no requirements to be backed by fungible legal tender reserves. So, they're not actually putting up cash as a replacement. It's more like they're putting up assets as a replacement, but it's not even that concrete really. They're not the same thing.

They're trading in chits, not money, when things like this happen. At least that's the case for as long as you can't regularly and commonly transact in ETH. The spot price/value of ETH multiplied across all the ETH that exists doesn't seem to be a description of total USD (or EUR or whatever) reserves available to convert ETH to USD, et al. as far as I can tell.
