> Energy? Is not scarce. I'm not even in the top 25% of travel for people who have been in an airplane one time, and I've done the equivalent of several circumnavigations.

This is a terrible bar. By even being on an airplane just once you are already in the top 20% of the world. If you’ve done several circumnavigations you’re outside of the category of flying once or twice for major life events which puts you in the top 1%.

> Even the desperately poor can afford the energy budget to split a cell phone with the rest of their family, and lately they can have a small solar panel and light as well. That's not scarce energy

This is a really uninformed view of the energy requirements to sustain human life. Transportation, getting people food/water, and HVAC dominates this. Enough energy to run a cell phone is a joke.
Now it's down to the individual States. Need an abortion? Drive to California.

It's kinda true, it's just a monkey's paw, careful what you wish for sort of way.

We could absolutely give everyone on earth the median standard of living. If we divided everything up equally (84.71 trillion [global GDP] / 7.753 billion [world population]) we are talking about something like 11 grand per person, per year, total overall spending. That's housing, food, healthcare, fire, police, roads, schooling, etc.

For most people on earth that would be a big raise[0], although virtually everyone in the west would be dramatically poorer.

I'm tired of people always jumping on the latest technological hype-train. O.K Typing is great but I used Speech successfully for decades before it was deprecated and I'm not going to jump on the latest trend and change my whole workflow and tooling just because young devs want to add the cool new tech like "Typing" to their resumes.

Words are semantic units, they are by definition and purpose: meaningful.

Speech is also:

* Synchronous

* A faster form of communication than the fastest typers

* A much much faster form of communication than the average typer

* Has incredibly good built-in features for communication like:

* The ability to see who's currently talking

* The ability to communicate a thought almost continuously rather than discretely

* The ability to be interrupted to provide new information when necessary

* Built-in styling features like tone, feeling, volume to emphasize important information

* Built-in synchronous next-speaker negotiation

* Privacy respecting and non-binding which is incredibly important in heavily regulated industries where everything recorded must be very carefully thought out because it might come up in discovery 10 years later
We develop a large OCaml application and find the error messages are fine. Changing signatures is an advantage when refactoring because it identifies all the places you need to make changes.

this is true and any individual person can choose to assume that "they" are the only being in the universe that's actually sentient. the rest of the universe and everything in it can be a seemingly vast simulation all targeted at the one consciousness that's inside of us.

I realized this when I read the first (second?) Hitchhikers Guide when i was like 14. Zaphod Beeblebrox was given a universe that was entirely made for him, which is how he survived the (I dont remember what it was called but it showed you all at once how insignificant you were in the universe, unless of course that whole universe was tailor made just for you!)
A base class should only exist where there are implementations -it needs to be plural. Otherwise just fold the base into the child, or better yet use composition not inheritance. I generally do not count any form of test double (mock...) as a an implementation, since only rarely is the real implementation something that you should mock.
Driving prices to 0 is not incentivized at all, in fact quite the opposite. The current system incentivizes driving prices as high as humanly possible in order to allow the investors to take get as much of a return as they can.

That's part of what's driving inflation. And that's what inevitably happens when sectors consolidate towards monopoly or small enough oligopolies where company's convergent interests can align and they start competing on things other than price.

This is part of what we see driving current inflation. There's a lot of talk about how the labor market is driving inflation, or pandemic shocks are, and both of those are true. But corporate profits are still at record highs and rising. If supply shocks and labor prices were truly the main driver, then corporate profits should be near zero. They're not. Companies are taking advantage of the fact that inflation is already going up and that they have convenient scapegoats to raise their prices far more than they need to in order to cover labor increases or increase supply. There are reports of executives bragging about this to their boards. [1]

Edit: To follow up, these ideas that the Capitalist free market system and competition incentivize innovation aren't actually founded in empirical research of any kind. It's pure theorizing and it's theorizing based on a house of cards of bad assumptions.

One can zoom out and look at history and see that the standard of living for people has steadily increased, and humans have steadily innovated. But there's no empirical evidence to support the idea that it's a capitalist free market driving those advances.

Yes they advanced further in free societies, most of which have up until now employed some version of a Capitalist free market linked to more or less social democracy. But you could just as readily theorize that those advances are just down to an innate desire in people to make the world a better place for everyone, an innate desire to innovate. And that authoritarian societies squash their opportunities to do so, while freer societies leave enough opportunities open that they enable them. But they don't necessarily add incentives for that innovation in addition to the innate incentives.

50 years ago, half the population of the world lived in extreme poverty. This percentage and the total number of people in extreme poverty have made extreme declines since that time. https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty

This is one of the great achievements of humankind, and while we have much more to do, it's good to recognize the progress we've made.

And while I'm also skeptical about the amount of resources organizations use to maintain themselves, any organization or organism or community that does not have a primary goal of keeping itself alive will in short order cease to exist. If you think your organization has a long-term beneficial purpose, you better design it to be self-sustaining, and with a large margin of safety.

Chrome-only non-standards that both Firefox and Safari are against.

Can't be bothered to check others, but off the top of my head, but most of other standards that you just dumped without understanding fall under the following categories:

- Chrome-only non-standards with multiple issues that have multiple objections from both Safari and Firefox

- Originally proposed by Safari

- Have specific technical objections from Safari, and specific reasons for not implementing

- (very small minority of specs) No idea why they haven't implemented these yet
There are several different versions of the model which you can reach by following the link at the bottom of the page. The simplest one (which is not the HN link) is purely random. The more sophisticated models add other factors like investments. In the most complex model, the inequality is very dramatic indeed.

>Democratized access to money means that I can move my life savings as a refugee from a war torn country

This has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies, blockchains, or "democratized access" at all. What you're suggesting is simply for people to use foreign banks. If your local money is being destabilized by war, I can't see why you'd want to put your money into an extremely volatile offshore casino, which is what cryptocurrency is.

Hey - thanks for using Collabora Online (COOL) - we're doing a chunk of work to accelerate interactive editing, and lots of that starts to land in 22.05 - time-based document change compression (deltas), improved JS, reduced latency of event handling (particularly in the browser where handling websockets related to rendering & the DOM is a bit too 'exciting') - with lots of wins recently. Hopefully you can enjoy them in our next release coming soon.
>For example there is plenty of food to feed the entire world, but some people still go hungry.

This is because having a reliable food supply everywhere is not the same thing as growing enough food, on the aggregate, to be able to feed everyone. That's not even half of it. Distribution and logistics are key, particularly making it robust to all sorts of shocks (droughts, conflict, etc). A lot of areas experiencing famine/hunger are places with very bad governance and infrastructure. Fixing that is Hard and Expensive, and once you do they'll never go hungry again because existing food available for sale elsewhere in the world will make its way there, either always or when needed.

>I don’t have the answer. But I know there’s more to it than technology and innovation.

The answer is in social innovation, and half the issue is letting go of ideological baggage. Socialists need to stop having pavlovian responses to the word 'capitalism' and 'markets', and economic liberals need to stop treating markets as a sacred cow and instead think of them as one tool in a toolbox. Most importantly, we need way more experimentation.
> Seriously, this meme about blockchains being "uncensorable" needs to die.

Agreed. Cabals of crypto exchanges maintain blocklists of wallets. Eth did a hardfork to recover the stolen DAO money. Most blockchains mempools are an unincentivized piece of infrastructure that if not properly decentralized could censor transactions.

In fact voting on hard and even soft forks is a form of blockchain transaction censorship. Every node/miner/validator/walletapp — every actor in the system - decides whether a transaction is “legal.”

Not to mention most if not all crypto is incapable of running a full node or whatever is necessary for full network participation on phones, so if you are using crypto for mobile transactions you’re probably talking to an intermediary API that can censor your transaction.

For most users, crypto has can be functionally censored by a wide range of actors.
Uncensorable digital currencies are being used to facilitate illegal transactions, and amongs all the blockchains, only ONE of them started with the intention of being a currency of some sort. Yes, there is a distinction between "blockchain" and "blockchain-based currency". Most of the other bullshit blockchain could not be used for that purpose.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people dismissive of blockchain, even on HN, would agree that the world is probably a whole lot better if Bitcoin is the only blockchain exist. It is a bit unfortunate that technical issue might prevent bitcoin of ever be a functional currency, but that is a different topic.
Doesn't Safari have superior baterry life?

People have different priority, most end user gives no fuck about the pile of garbage APIs that just keeps growing in modern browsers, they just wanna read some stuff. When developers cry about their "api", some kid in africa isn't able to access knowledge on ther internet because sites have to use look behind or whatever.
No, I'm certainly not operating at 100% for 40 hours. Maybe 25 good hours. I wonder how many hours Glascow City Council is hard at it currently? Maybe they could go down to a half a workday per week with no noticeable loss of productivity.
That's not refuting my argument. My argument is that the general problem of being able to transact freely across the globe with radically reduced risk of government interception is a legitimate problem for many individuals now and in the past, who live under governments with unjust laws. Plucking one very obvious form of immoral criminality out of that gigantic pool of use cases is misleading at best. I think many people in the West forget how lucky they are that, on average, the correlation between the morality and legality of economic transactions is fairly decent.

If I were interested in breaking somebody's defenses gently I'd ask questions in the following order: (1) What do you think about the immediate environment? (2) Tell me about what you're passionate about (3) What were you like when you were a kid?

Personally I would always ask type (2) questions because they usually put people at ease but also they give people many opportunities to self-destruct and show bad character.
I have issues sleeping sporadically. I am a naturally hyper person - and found that if I do not make my body and/or my mind very tired, I cannot sleep deeply.

So I must complete heavy workouts every 1-2 days to make my body want to sleep. Maybe start heavy exercise when you feel you're getting near that point.

For me - it is a weight workout (lifting or power lifting). I can do a 1-2 hour cardio workout (or sprints) to get a similar effect.
That depends on whether you are a collectivist or an individualist. Selflessness is not a default, psychologically speaking. It's not very well selected for, in evolutionary terms. Why should we optimize for collective availability of life's necessities? I'd rather optimize for my own outcomes, and judging by their behaviour most other people feel similarly.

Forcing someone into a collective against their will is indistinguishable from a degree of slavery. This by far the greater sin for those who believe in the primacy of individual will and choice.
I got a bunch of fake Supreme, Gucci and Versace one time cause I thought it was hilarious and I needed some fresh threads after sweating out most of my clothes being at the beach that weekend for the same night. After I got all these compliments from people on my clothes when I returned to North America like wow isn't that shirt 200$... Someone STOLE THE FAKE SUPREME SHIRT!!!

Like... I got that for 5$ at a bus station in Latin America and all those shirts fell apart within a year anyways.

I also remember going to a club wearing that supreme shirt and this other older guy had a fake supreme shit that just said "millennials" in the red bar instead which was great. He just kept on giving me the stink eye. His shirt was admittedly 10x better
“Both Hitler and Obama were disliked by millions of people”

Same energy. This ruling today has more in common with Dred Scott (reduces citizens back down to property because of founder intent or something) than the overturning of it.
Post scarcity should not imply that people live in material luxury. It should mean that people have their fundamental needs met, both materially and psycologically (e.g. having enough food is insufficient if there is no food security, say due to droughts).

People can still lead a good life by focussing upon social rather than material facets. We do not need communications networks to socialize, nor do we need overpowered silicon chips to entertain. This is not to dismiss the positive roles of those technologies. Better communications and computation certainly help in everything from agriculture to medicine. It is just that using them as a proxy in applications where they do not contribute to human welfare can be tremendously counterproductive. The same thing can be said for space exploration, perhaps even more assertively since it is a huge drain of resources with a disproportionately isolated gain.
Can a lawyer please explain what the word "overturned" means in this context? This wasn't an appeal in Roe v Wade was it? I'm super confused.

Generating e-books from public sources[0]. I wanted to read the “Stormlight Archive reread” from Tor.com on my Kindle so I generated EPUBs. It kept going forward from there to almost a dozen books now. The most popular is the Google SRE book, but I also wrote code for JK Rowling’s Ickabog, which was published online (and taken down since - I switched to Internet Archive).

Needless to say, I’ve barely read most of the books that I’ve compiled, so it sometimes feels like wasted effort.

However, I’ve since put a lot of the learnings from these projects to use, such as while building pystitcher[1].
