yes, but I can only see "points" on my comments..

Like, I'll have some slightly controversial comment and it will oscillate between +1 and -1 points, and I know there's a lot of interaction with it, but I can't know how much, It'd be cool to see the total as well as the points.

As far as I know, I can't see the amount of upvotes or downvotes on my comments?
> whenever I check the comments on a post the top comment is like "ackchyually..."

I attribute this to the quality of the source material. there's a limit to how much the linked article can reasonably convey while still being an introduction to whatever is being talked about. Very rarely, if ever, is a website article posted that requires prerequisite reading of a different article. So nuance usually gets shafted a bit, and in-depth research postponed, to keep the article easy to read.

it then gets posted here and inevitably someone has something to say about the nuance

Reddit Basic Income FAQ Wiki
I understand all that perfectly fine.

I didn't say that I would decrease public land, simply that these organizations should focus on making the conserved land public. Often times land is willed to the trust and then the trust sells it. This keeps it in private circulation when it could be made public access.

Why would a private individual go through the legal risks of opening their land to the public? I highly doubt these lands will become public access in the future as there's zero incentive for it, despite the joke you stated.

Land is finite. By placing the restriction on some parcels, that makes it much less likely to find unrestricted parcels due to the demand. Also, people don't live forever. Putting a restriction on future generations is not something of their choosing.

My experience with these land trusts has been negative. A friend bought one that permits agricultural use. They wanted to put down gravel in an area for that purpose. The trust said that couldn't do that because it's impermeable... perhaps we can go to the desert and leave you there for a few days with 5 gallons of water poured on a gravel pile. If it's really impermeable, then you'll be fine. The point is, you have to deal with idiots like this and risk getting into legal battle that will exhaust your resources to enforce your (limited) rights on the land.

If effect you end up with extremely powerful organizations that have rights over an increasing amount of land, while the "owners" have to bear all the costs and comply. Sounds a lot like being a serf or tenant farmer to me. Is there some choice in there? Not much if you want land. The vast majority of people can't afford real land in the areas where these trusts (and billionaires) are operating, pricing them out due to the constrained supply.

This is a bad way to look at it.

We should ask how many more people would die each day without cars.

Somehow, this basic analysis is absent in all of the car-hate posts.

Not considering pros and cons fairly is a not an honest approach.

You can’t claim to be objective by just looking at negatives and proclaiming cars are bad overall. You need to sum up the negatives and positives (assuming an utilitarian view).

Otherwise, just accept all car hate is based on subjective emotions.

It is not like car users are cackling evil Captain Planet villains. Most of us are not rich enough to live near work and schools.

That brings me to a related issue car haters miss:
Bike-friendly cities should be designed for everyone, not just for wealthy white cyclists

As with all technology, any obvious military use will be taken and exploited to the max. How long do you think it took to exploit sticks, rocks and fire as weaponry? The discovery of making hands into a fist was weaponized way before even then.

There is no technology in history that has ever been exempt from weaponization, and it is unfeasible to think there ever will be. We can't not see an object's weapon potential, for life itself dictates the existence of adversaries.
If I've learned anything from watching "Idiots in Cars" videos on Reddit, it's that you can go from "driving normally" to "in an accident" much faster than you think. Most people have very little experience reacting to imminent accidents on the road. Overall that's a good thing, but it certainly seems naive to think that simply being an attentive driver is enough to keep you out of accidents.
This is also why you should not agree to do coding interviews.
I mean, the macro-organism does, in fact, die. It's an unusual way of recycling biological matter, but not a ticket to immortality. It would be akin to if we humans started budding fetal organisms when we died, which would then split off as the rest of us rotted away.
Not to derail but the lack of control of self driving cars could be one reason there is a big reaction when someone dies as a result of an accident.
It does, but as Strong Towns is wont to do, they do so in a way that aligns with their agenda in a borderline disingenuous way.

Every traffic fatality is documented and investigated by a trained police officer. The techniques are trained, data collection is standardized, and transportation planners have access to the information and use it to guide engineering processes.

Does the NTSB investigate car accidents? Mostly no, but they have the authority to investigate bus accidents and other livery vehicles like limousines. And the USDOT/FHA extensively regulates motor carriers with a scientific approach that removes bad operators. That’s because of the law and resource limits - but that doesn’t mean society closes its eyes and ignores everything.

For all of the vague critique of transportation departments, they are evolving and improving safety on the roads imo. There’s no question that the roads I drive on today are safer by any measure than the roads I was driven on as a child in the 80s.

Strong Towns is like the EFF. They have a compelling message, but slather enough bullshit to undermine it.

> It's only zero sum because people like you claim it's zero sum and create the perception that it is so

It is by definition zero sum. There are a fixed number of college acceptance spots at prestigious colleges each year and by the nature of prestige it must stay so for the colleges to continue being prestigious. There are (roughly) a fixed number of jobs in prestigious fields. There are a fixed number of C level positions in Fortune 500 companies. When you deliberately reallocate these spots on the basis of skin color instead of merit, you doom the nation to eventual failure as it's outcompeted by nations like China. Science does not care about your skin color, it only cares that you're right.

You might notice that current Democratic policies only advocate for raising income taxes, and not substantially raising LT capital gains taxes. Not only that, but you can still deduct huge amounts for real estate ownership and business ownership.
Depends on how you use the exchanges. If you just buy and sell BTC and keep your coins off-exchange, there is little reason to care about whatever schemes the exchanges are doing. If you start playing with leverage, you will be putting much more trust at stake, and it is your individual decision to do that. I have been involved with BTC community for many years and most Bitcoiners I know do not trade back and forth, do not buy that much shitcoins and do not store their coins on exchanges, so these schemes do not affect them.
That's great, honestly cool stuff, but the question you purported to be answering was:

> Why did pterosaurs get so much bigger?
I think the reason this happens is that when you start looking for washing machines, you start getting ads for them. Then when you buy nobody tells the ad companies that you just bought a washing machine so they still send you ads because they think you’re still looking. Even if you just went straight to the model site and clicked “buy”.
If you apply the cognitive biases model to algorithms which have superhuman performance in various games - like AlphaZero, DeepBlue, Pluribus, and so on - the natural result is to conclude that these models are predictably irrational. The reason you get this conclusion is because it turns out to be necessary to trade off theoretical optimal answers for the sake of speed. The behavioral economic view of human irrationality ought to be considered kind of dumb in view of that result. But it is actually so much worse than that for the field, because the math shows that sacrificing optimality for speed would be something that even an infinitely fast computational intelligence would be forced to do. It isn't irrational; it is a fundamentally necessary tradeoff. In imperfect information games your strategy space is continuous, EV is a function of policy, and many games even have continuous action spaces. If you thought Go was high branching factor you thought wrong; Go is an example of a freakishly low branching factor. It is infinitely smaller than the branching factor in relatively trivial decision problems.

If you've never looked at cognitive biases through the lens of performance optimization you should try it. What seems like an arbitrary list from the bias perspective becomes clever approximative techniques in the performance optimization perspective.

I often think about why this isn't more commonly known among people who call themselves rationalists and tend to spend a lot of time discussing cognitive bias. They seem to be trending toward a belief that general superintelligence is of infinite power, doubling down on their fallacious and hubristic appreciation for the power of intelligence.

I say this, because when you apply the algorithms that don't have these biases - the behavioral economist view wouldn't find them to be irrational since they stick to the math, they follow things like the coherence principles for how we ought to work with probabilities as seen in works by Jayne, Finett, and so on - they either don't terminate, or, if you force them to do so... well... they lose to humans; even humans who aren't very good at the task.

>There are some really good (free) AI logo generators out there you can use to generate logos very similar (perhaps even better) than this. In recent years I've used them almost exclusively to generate some initial logo ideas then either made minor alterations myself (where needed), or paid someone a little to do it for me.

I've tried AI logo generators and didn't like the results. Last time I tried was 3-4 years ago, so maybe they've gotten better.

>Similar things can be said for web templates. There are some really good customisable templates for simple sites like yours out there today. I don't know why you'd pay someone for something so simple, especially when the design is so generic and forgettable (no offense).

Even with a template, there's still a lot of work. Someone has to sift through all the templates to find a good one. Then I still have to pay developers to adapt my existing content to the new theme. And in my experience, template code tends to be pretty bad. Tons of inline style rules so that the page looks good in exactly that configuration, but it's not flexible.

If I had to do it again, I'd still rather work with a freelancer than search for a template and adapt it to my site.

Which demonstrates the important of distinguishing gender identity from biological sex (i.e: woman from female, man from male).

When deciding what pronoun to use, biological sex clearly doesn't matter, when talking to a doctor, it may well matter. We can use the appropriate thing at the appropriate time, just as we do with, say, an adopted child, where most of the time you don't need to distinguish, but when it comes to inheritable disease it clearly matters. Likewise, saying "that female over there" when talking about a trans man is utterly useless to me because it doesn't help me identify them without pre-existing knowledge. Man/woman referring to gender identity clearly makes sense for casual conversation, someone's biological sex is none of your business in most cases.

Of course, our increased understanding also says that dimorphism is an oversimplification: the reality is that sexual traits are varied and it is much more of a spectrum, and better understanding of this medically should lead to more personalised medicine that is more effective.

This is especially true when it comes to trans people, if the issue is, for example, linked to oestrogen, then HRT can be more relevant than the chromosomes someone has.

This is something I know a little bit about, I gave a more detailed explanation in the parent comment. I'm not a fan of this bait n switch practice either. As you pointed out one reason it's done is to increase access and/or reduce costs while maintaining quality. I don't know to what extent that's true, it's just what we are led to believe.

In your example, the hospital very likely billed the same services and charge amounts. This is standard practice. Also, captured on the claim form they submit to the payor is who rendered the services and also other modifiers/adjustments that indicate you were seen by a mid-level provider that was overseen by a physician. Regardless, what ultimately matters is the negotiated rate. As a general rule of thumb, payors reimburse mid-level providers (nurse practitioners/physician assistant/etc) at 80% of the physician equivalent reimbursement. So if a doctor gets paid $100 for a wellness check, then a PA would get $80 for a wellness check assuming everything was the same.

This all can get a little hairy / confusing as each state has different laws around what nurse practitioners and physician assistants can or can not do (which then impacts billing). Some states allow little to no oversight by a physician, where as other states it is more strict.

I have no idea about other tradeoffs (quality, access, etc) regarding the use of mid-level providers in replacement of traditionally physician services.

> Especially not after 50 years of climate science only being wrong about how bad it was going to get.

Dead wrong to an astonishing degree. Not worth the effort of debunking a claim so damn daft.
Interesting. This is one of those things where experience just really helps. A friend of mine is a Creative Director at a firm and I asked her for advice for a startup I funded and she explicitly advised against an agency at the stage it was at. I'm pretty sure she'd advise against this as well. Instead, a single contract freelancer is probably a better play than an agency for this.

Over time, I have come to value my network very highly. Definitely helped me avoid a lot of missteps.

Of course, the lede is buried exactly where expected. How novel an idea it is that the the system is separable from its components and that utopia is indeed achievable if only the rest of the world would wake up and learn to serve your idea of a higher purpose. The inevitable counterpoint is that the system is responding predictably and efficaciously to a change to its environment: more undergraduate funding leads to more students pursuing graduate degrees and a greater deal of competition in the academic space. The "problem" is self-correcting. It turns out science doesn't need happy scientists.

I don't think you can really compare HN to Reddit and Twitter, because HN has essentially one experience for everyone (or at most two experiences for everyone, if you count /newest as a separate experience, which the article discusses), whereas Reddit and Twitter are what you make of them, especially Twitter. You decide which subreddits to read, you decide which Twitter accounts to follow (and whether to use Latest Tweets or "Home"). The Reddit or Twitter experience for one individual can be entirely different than for another individual.

It's all too easy to take the worst parts of Reddit or Twitter and claim HN is better, but Reddit and Twitter have a lot more self-curation than HN.
