> Well one difference is that the people who work in the government bureaucracies are still citizens, and are able to vote for or against the leaders that manage them.

While technically true, this seems laughably inaccurate in practice. Government bureaucracies are almost entirely composed of unelected employees.

"There are 542 federal offices: President, Vice President, 100 U.S. Senators (two from each state), 435 U.S. Representatives, four delegates to the House of Representatives from U.S. territories and the District of Columbia, and one Resident Commissioner from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico."[0]

"Federal Civilian Employment ... Total, All Areas* 1,869,986"[1]

Yes, the latter number includes Dept of Defence civilian employees.

Examination of the situation in a state of your choosing is left as an exercise for the reader, however I suspect the ratios for state employees vs elected officeholders will be similar.

And the way for this to happen is for people who want it to happen to start their own companies to do it. That's how free market competition works: if there is a genuine market need that is not being filled, someone starts a new company to fill it. You don't sue existing companies.

In the case of fossil fuels, this already is happening; there are plenty of companies working on alternative sources of energy. (And the "Big Oil" companies are among them.) As far as using government and the law to help, the single biggest impact ordinary people can have is to make it clear to our elected representatives that nuclear energy is a thing and we need more of it.
I wonder if prebiotics are a better choice, with fecal transplants done for when you have a real issue.

For what it’s worth, and doctors obviously don’t suggest this, you can easily do a fecal transplant at home. By “easily” I mean that the process is simple, not that it isn’t super gross.

The answer to "massive corporations" isn't another massive corporation. These unions operate in the same manner as corporations but produce nothing. The ones at the top get massive bonuses and get filthy rich from your paycheck.

Also the amount of corruption within these organization is insane. They also lobby like corporations (just ask biden) They ARE "corporations" masquerading as a good cause, does that remind you of any tech giants?

One can reasonably take positions such as "you can tell me to go fuck myself, and I'll appreciate if you articulate why" and "I don't mind being catcalled". I would expect someone describing themselves as a "free speech absolutist" to take such positions.

One nitpick piece of feedback: I immediately exited the website after seeing a 'Create Your Google Account' screenshot, assuming that I needed to tie this to my google account. It's a really minor point and most people probably won't be as hasty, but I'd recommend changing the video's thumbnail.
That person was not a boss or coworker, he was a stranger who had insulted him.

I think that enough institutional and retail investors have foresworn oil and gas companies for non-economic reasons that they will have excess returns going forward. I intend to benefit from this -- one simple way is to invest in the XLE ETF.

Since hydrocarbons make our comfortable modern lifestyles possible, I have no qualms in investing the companies that produce them. Studies have found that global warming may cause a loss of 5% of GDP by 2100. That is about 2-3 years normal economic growth and can easily be managed.

The contents of the letter quoted in that article are all moral allegations, but not new ones, and not presenting novel evidence of any wrongdoing. Whatever Musk has done, or whatever kind of person he is, it's all well understood and settled from a business perspective. Despite his antics, Musk hasn't gotten fired — far from it — and won't get fired for old news. So, their letter (at least what's quoted in that article) amounts to: "yes, but the CEO's behavior is not to our liking, somebody should do something about it." What would possess someone to believe that would work? It feels like the kind of thing that, ironically, might work on Twitter, but not in the real world.

You're talking about the https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection... section, right? That's only for sites that are already using third-party cookies for advertising, has to be specifically enabled, and doesn't seem very applicable to our "know how many people visited my website" discussion?

Reminds me of a day I was fishing from a pier at the beach some time ago. Older dude came up to me and started talking and got into his "time in 'Nam." He pointed at some apartment buildings across the bay, "we'd call in an airstrike and they'd make one pass and everything would be gone. Those buildings? You'd just see some bricks and rubble left behind." To 25 year-old me that was a pretty sobering thought.
How can a public square be privately owned?

And why doesn't Twitter have the same rights that you outlined in another comment: the right to not have to tolerate a private citizen, the right to prevent someone from saying whatever they want on your private property.

Basically, why doesn't Twitter have the same association and private property rights as Musk?

Of course. People like to point out the man's hypocrisy. He claims to feel that people shouldn't be punished for the things they say, but has a long history of punishing people for the things they say.

He makes it so easy, and everyone can tell by his personality that it grates on him.
Maybe I've read to much history, or maybe I just need to pay more attention to Musk, but I'm pretty sure he isn't anywhere close to the category of "Terrible Human Being" I have in mind - even for the West.
My comment has nothing to do with the letter. It’s about people using a false idea of what Musk’s position on speech is to score easy points.
Most recipe sites include a microformat for recipes, so are trivial to strip of the fluff. Lots of recipe apps can do it for you (I use Paprika 3—browse to the page in the app's webview, hit "add recipe", works like a charm 99% of the time, no further effort) and I bet there are browser extensions for it, too.

There’s a difference in private and profit-motivated. The author is referring to the latter while you’re referring strictly to the former. The "private" actors of the early internet were not motivated by profit and conducted a lot of research with no clear product goal. Xerox in particular had a hugely influential research division but directly profited from none of their contributions. In fact the only reason we still use Ethernet is because its inventor pushed Xerox towards giving up its trademark and creating an open standard.

HN tends to have a lot of insight into tech topics, and a high level of hubris when it comes to non tech topics.
It was a mistake to participate in this absurd analogy to begin with. You can just stretch it until it becomes convenient again. There is simply no comparing the power dynamic between you and an independent contractor to that of an aerospace company and its highly specialized workforce.

It's a simple fact that SpaceX chose its CEO's public image over its mission statement and reputation. I hope future prospects realize that there is no stability or long-term personal growth to be found there unless they can keep their heads down and kiss ass.
In a war that threatens mainland USA, nowhere on Earth would be safe. Perhaps in a nuclear bunker in New Zealand, or on board the ISS.
Musk tweets accuses random people of being pedophiles on Twitter and is legally not supposed to tweet anymore about certain topics without getting prior approval. He also exhibits paranoia and often a lack of being grounded in reality.

I didn’t say he is Howard 2.0 Hugh’s, I said he’s teetering on the edge of it. If in a few years he goes full Hughes would anyone actually be surprised?
Good question. Finding that out would take a lot of on-chain analysis.

I have no love for these firms so I really don't care if they are solvent. For those that took major risks with leverage and mismatched their risk on duration, let them fail. Some in this thread seem to be saying that having humans involved in liquidations is preferable because it prevents contagion. To me, that sounds like letting someone get away with bad decision-making and safe-guarding them against the previously defined consequences. Sounds like the same kind of philosophy that makes some firms in traditional finance "too big to fail." This kind of thinking kicks the can down the road instead of addressing the problem and feeling the pain now.

I say liquidate them. Maybe that's easy for me to say because my only exposure has been through defi protocols that I interact with directly and with risks that I've considered. These Cefi companies take retail money, use it to take risky positions in defi, then take a large cut of the profits. Works great until a market downturn and people start asking for the their Eth back and, whoops, we don't have access to it until 6M+ post-merge (Celcius). That's called piss-poor risk management and I don't want these kinds of actors in the market long-term. I feel bad for the retail that is getting screwed in all this but in the end, we need regulators / DOJ to come down very hard on these companies. If we clean house now, the space will be stronger in the future. Yes it will be painful in the short term.
On the contrary, I think Musks use of interviews and twitter has only helped him and his companies every step of the way. If you have been following him you have seen that he recently announced that he would be voting republican for the first time ever due to the change in the party stances of democrats and to expect backlash from announcing so. It funny that we are seeing exactly that backlash. Not two weeks ago people were also complaining that Musk wanted to reduce the work force by 10 % and have people work from the office, although those may have been separate things, I believe the 10% reduction was a leaked e-mail. The backlash there also seemed unusual, and I only attribute it to his political stance, as his company has lost around 50% of its value on the stock market, along with most of the other tech related stocks and it was almost as if he correctly predicted the further decline of the market in general we have seen lately. His responses to that seemed incredibly reasonable, a reduction in workforce and costs and measure to improve productivity. And yet as I said the response was not well taken in the media or online, it seems in my opinion to have started once people were made aware of his political stance. A stance which he says has always been consistent whether voting democrat or republican, it’s just that the parties have shifted in certain ideologies a I think we can all remember when democrats were the free speech party and now that opposite appears to be true.
They primed the pump, stimulated the economy, people had a bunch of money to spend, no where to put it. But aside from that, we're seeing MFGs tell their suppliers to slow their parts deliveries as demand is cooling.

Their hands are in this. Corona has a role too, but so does the Fed and the admin. If instead of Biden and it were the Repubs, or, god forbid, Trump, imagine the headlines and finger pointing. we'd be getting --they'd probably be overshooting with their blaming, but we'd definitely see more blame at the foot of that administration and the Fed.
We need to be building more housing in general. The low density housing in cities is certainly an issue for cities but not everyone lives in (or wants to live in) cities. At the end of the day a housing unit is a housing unit and if you make SFH cheaper then people who don't really want MFH but only live there because it's cheap will move.
Another idea I saw on yt a few months back:

More seriously, though, I am not far-sighted. I do not need corrective lenses to read books, newsprint, magazines, or labels at the grocery store despite the possible genetic predisposition baed on the need for reading glasses by my parents and siblings. I often have to read very fine details on nautical charts, sometimes in a seaway, sometimes at night with the use of a headlamp.

Exhaustion definitely changes my eyesight. I'm coming off of two days of kayaking and camping with high school kids followed by an intensive four hour lesson teaching rescues. (Imagine ~3600 boat-poses per hour, then subtract a few hundred and replace them with pulling swamped boats out of the water and across my lap to empty them, climbing out of the water and into the boat to demonstrate a dozen types of self-rescue.) I tried to read last night but my eyes could not focus; I vaguely remember making my way toward bed but woke up twelve hours later downstairs on the floor.

He risked Tesla's value on a Twitter buyout, tanking them both. If his companies go under because of his immature trolling, the employees have nothing to be "grateful" for.

>They are code files managed by a different set of people (translators), not generated artifacts (as they explain elsewhere in this discussion

Translations do not look like code to me. Rather human generated artifacts.

What I understand is there is a strong tie/match needed between versions of these translations files and the code itself, so I believe this is where having all in the same repo would make sense, having the translators update those file when code has been modified...

they were using the HAM-D instrument to measure impact. The probiotics group appears to have initial +2 HAM-D (19 vs 17), and have -1 at follow-up (7 vs 8).

This is for relatively small N (21 completed probiotics course, 26 placebo), and the fact that the difference is smaller at the end vs at the beginning says 'within the noise' to me.

results section also notes probiotic group had twice the drop-out rate of the placebo group (30% vs 13%)

"General," specifically enterprise, software has to deal with changing requirements, external integrations, and multiple stakeholders, whereas games are relatively static, have a single stakeholder type, and have limited and defined external integrations. To put it another way, LOCNOC tools work great for things that are largely isolated and don't need to change much over time; they're a disaster otherwise, to the point that I've literally never seen a successful LOCNOC project, despite literally millions of dollars of project investments in them.
I asked the same thing a while back

Some good discussion here

One thing to keep in mind is that it’s not actually “no code”

I’ve worked at a big studio and if something was pretty complicated, performance critical, or just not supported by the engine it would be written in C++ and exposed via a new “block” that can be dropped in.

So one reason it works is because most projects you still have programmers on hand to abstract the hard stuff

Ah, yeah, I agree. But I don't agree that that position is tantamount to "supporting mass immigration", by the normal colloquial meaning of that phrase. I think that wording, unqualified as in your original usage, implies antagonism toward the position you're describing (though, as I mentioned in another reply, "mass immigration" might have a domain-specific definition I'm not aware of? Sort of like how "obese" technically refers to a much lower weight than the way we use the word colloquially, and how "mass shooting" can technically mean a victim count as low as three, depending on other circumstances, again contrary to what the typical colloquial threshold probably is in most cases).
This is interesting, but what details are actually being concealed or obfuscated with this, given modern cameras? Seems more just like a fun tradition than anything else.
