I made some aggressive investments in crypto this year, and they are paying off nicely… for now. I’m willing to pay the short term price of anxiety for getting these ridiculous returns, but there’s no way I’d recommend that someone put their meager savings into this stuff. I’m willing to take extreme risk, but I can also “afford” to lose the money. Even though the returns are technically passive, worrying about when to take my money out of a full time job. Sleep-at-night passive income only comes from making smart moves over time, along with inheriting money & getting lucky.
The advantage is you can fly from wherever your constituency is in the EU to Frankfurt and then connect on to Strasbourg, and do the same on the way home.
But it's true. If people don't buy it they won't make it. We have all the power, not them.
If we can talk about “Techno-Feudalism”, then we surely can talk about Chinese or Indian feudalism. And if you want to gatekeep the term “feudalism” for Middle Ages Europe, then surely you wouldn’t say that we live in a neo-feudal system. So that looks like a bad faith argument in the context of the post.
I don't think the article was attempting to say there are only two choices, just that some choices are pretty shitty compared to some alternatives that exist and that it's gotten harder and harder to access some of those alternatives.

I think this is good news, even though I bought a Chromebook last year and expect to use it for at least 5 years before replacing it. Linux containers are a very nice feature for development and having more CPU cores and general power is a great thing.

My Chromebook, at $300 is a great deal, compared to my new large iPad Pro (just the magic keyboard is $350, pencil is extra - both included on the Chromebook).

Is your position that it should be mandated by law or just the right thing for a business to do at their discretion?

I grew up in an area where Canadian currency often made it into the money supply and most vendors would just accept Canadian quarters at the US rate without a fuss. I remember the weird looks I got the first time I tried to do the same in a state further south. I feel like both are reasonable approaches but I would hesitate to legally mandate one approach because they are context dependent.

I appreciate the writing style, but this article is shockingly naive to me.

Convenient consumer products tend to sell better than less convenient ones, even if the product is worse. That's the entire story. People have finite time, so when they receive more income they will tend to spend it to reduce the time they spend doing things that they don't care about.

I for one hate spending time doing all the things that the products in the article make more convenient, and happily pay more so I can spend my time on other things.

* I don't like shaving, so I optimize for razors that get the job done faster (more blades, easier to swap a new blade)

* (nespresso) I actually enjoy the ritual of making espresso, so I use a real espresso machine
* I bike every day to and from work, so I take it a step further and buy an E-bike with no shifter

My experience is that almost 100% do sign up. Signing up is not a barrier. Funny statistic I had in a game was that while almost 100% did sign up, only 50% of those entered the game. After highlighting the "enter game" button, that 50% went up to something like 85%. But the takeaway is that almost everyone do signup almost automatically.
Don't blame Franklin, the founding fathers set up a great governmental architecture with plug-in support via constitutional amendments, a legislative body for authoring new code, and a judicial system for integration testing our code of laws.

They foresaw that there would be much they could not foresee and gave ample means of updating the constitution. Just now it's been 250 years, it's rife with feature bloat and spaghetti code where small changes have unforeseen consequences, and our legislature is afraid to touch the code despite our many, egregious, surmounting problems.
PHPStorm natively integrates xDebug and profiling, really handy to be able to just kick off a debug or profiling session from your IDE. xDebug also handles remote debugs, so if you're super stuck on an issue that only happens in production you could remotely debug the application with xDebug (often without affecting the application for other users)

I think it's fair, given that GP mentioned "There is no constitutional right to privacy in Singapore so they did not actually break any laws". There's a long history to the debate of whether there's a constitutional right to privacy in the US; it's not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution but it's a fairly common interpretation nowadays, so whether or not the courts in the US would consider it legal if the US government did this is not a sure thing either way.

That's not quite what I said. I said the article's insinuation that D-Notices are some mysterious gag order and are being used as part of the UK Government's campaign of terror on Assange is wrong. I might be reading too much into the implications, but I don't think I am, feel free to disagree.

What D-Notices are is effectively a polite request not to publish certain sensitive information. Editors at newspapers can decide whether or not to comply with the request. Have a look here: https://www.dsma.uk/how-the-system-works/ and notice the explicit "DSMA notices have no legal standing". The very idea that this is a secret censorship conspiracy is laughable.

I think there is an interesting question arising from the Assange case as to who can claim to be a journalist and what protections this provides, but I do not think D-Notices fit anywhere in this. They're not even a law.

Great questions! My tech stack is a bit unconventional. For example, my primary db is Baserow - basically an open-source Airtable. The app was written with a combination of Swift and Objective-C, so iOS native, though I also plan to release an Android version. For the UI, I prototyped in Figma and storyboarded it (not a huge fan of writing interfaces).

Probably one of the biggest challenges has been collecting enough data so that users in most locations can log on and see food trucks near them.

Given this is HN this could be an unpopular opinion. But if I'm procrastinating about doing something, I just don't do it. In fact, I just try to forget about it because I'll end up in a horrible loop of guilt and self hatred.

If it's important, it will eventually get done. If it's not, it will get done when I feel like it. This strategy has worked well for me because I've still managed to produce cool projects in my spare time without stress.

I also find that it helps to identify the source of procrastination. For me, it's usually anxiety in some form. If you can figure that out, find a way to cure it and move forward.

Gradual culture mutation is different from sudden culture importation. There is a narrow neighbourhood in the space of possible cultures that is reachable from any given culture in it, this is the space explored by ordinary mechanims of culture change like cultural exchange and new generations.

Mass immigration explores the space very differently, in a way that is sudden and discontinues.I think it's reasonable for people to worry that they're being replaced, because that's actually what's (more or less) happening.

The majority of cannabis legalization has occurred in the last few years.

The paper you linked uses decades old data and provides statistics on overall incidence of schizophrenia with varying durations of prevalence.

Bayes rule applies here - not everyone will go buy cannabis and use it daily. Unless a study is accounting for these factors, it's useless in making a determination on the connection between psychosis and cannabis.

Your own point applies, frequency must be adjusted for, by an understanding of priors.

You know those help wanted commercials Amazon floods media with, "We pay $15 to start, blah, blah. Start a new career."

I just assumed they were always hiring because of consistent growth.

According to the guy (forget his name. Wears a gold chain.) representing the union; Amazon fires a lot of employees. Many for no reason.

(I once read a restaurant success book. Everything he recommended made sence, except one, and it does make sence, but it's weaselly.

His recommendation to restaurants was to fire all employees every six months. Turn over the semi-skilled completely. His reasoning was a new employee didn't complain, didn't steal (this was before companies had cams everywhere, gps tracking, and wrist movment counters), and worked harder.)

I believe this is Amazon strategy.

It's usually a bit harder to fire union workers for no reason.

Fire them before they can see the inequities in the company.
I eat the carbon equivalent of about a half pound of plastic a day, the result of which either ends up in the atmosphere or in the ground. Whatever packaging I do use (and I don’t go out of my way to avoid it) is a rounding error compared to what goes through me for basic life.

To me a more reasonable explanation than any in the article is that after losing the vote, Amazon looked into the warehouse and decided part of the problem was that the managers were making the situation worse. This could have been that the rsi injury complaints were true and unaddressed promptly. Or that the managers came off as cold in communications. Or 5 other things they could have done better.

> As for why people would choose to live in more egalitarian forms

The question is not why would people choose to live under supposed egalitarianism, but why would that be the default system. It relies on non-betrayal behavior across multiple actors in whom power is vested, which depends on many non-intuitive cultural innovations in thinking about your peers and social responsibility. Feudalism is at least straightforwardly plausible as the point towards which high entropy systems descend. Conversely, it's very hard to see how democratic communalism would just spontaneously emerge and maintain itself without consistent effort and cooperation, both fragile dependencies.
That's really messed up. Is this bye-bye to net neutrality?

I find it strange you can’t show me actual support for that then, after my repeated requests — are you sure it’s not a widely held dogmatic belief?

> I would ask you to explain why you think "policies which abuse the young" are what people have in mind, or why they are needed, when obviously what has been shown to work and is popular is raising living standards.

Surveys of young people point to financial distress as why they don’t have children.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/05/upshot/americans-are-havi...

The entire system is set up in a way which is crushing the middle class (in the US and likely other developed nations), causing them to choose not to breed. The evidence suggests that people aren’t having as many kids as they would like due to policies which harm them (eg, high taxes) — policies which people support here despite knowing that they’re driving those outcomes.

> I already know the answer: it's much easier to argue for perpetual population growth if you can pretend the only alternative is "abuse the young to the point they are too distressed to breed".

This is you creating a strawman to avoid recognizing the negative impacts of your own policy and the harms it’s causing to humanity.

> To my knowledge they're only poisonous during manufacturing (ie. the precursor chemicals) and when they get too hot.

This really bugs me. We have a product, designed to be used over heat, which leaks literal poison into your food when it gets "too hot"... WTF is that? What does "too hot" mean and how can you expect anyone to know which of their burner settings (which often have no guidance at all as to temperature beyond gradients between "low", "medium", and "high") will be hot enough to leak poison into the food they feed themselves and their families. Non-stick coating seem like the kind of thing which should be banned at this point until it's proven to be safe under typical conditions. None of the chemicals which have replaced teflon have been proved safe. They just haven't been shown to be dangerous yet, which isn't saying much considering the decades it took to prove the dangers of teflon and the efforts the manufacturers went to hide those dangers from the public they poisoned.

> smart TVs are cheaper than dumb TVs because they're subsidized by ad revenue.

I've never seen that proved anywhere. Costs have gone down over the years, and the amount of ads and data collection have increased but I haven't seen any evidence at all that there's a 1:1 connection between the two. Companies seem to be perfectly happy to charge you the most they can get away with while still collecting your data and pushing ads in your face. By limiting the availability of dumb TVs you don't even get to vote with your wallet on this one. Currently I'm recommending people replace their TVs with computer monitors, but "smart" computer monitors are the new thing and will push out the dumb models too.
Cast iron becomes very low maintenance after the seasoning is started. I don't even usually wash mine. Everything slides right off at the end. Just let it heat up before using it, use a moderately high heat but not too high, and it's a nonstick pan without the carcinogens.
The 808 in particular has an additional twist. The transistors used in it were out-of-spec rejected parts as a cost savings measure. So recreations and repairs can have difficulty recapturing the signature sound if they go only by part number.
