Ask HN : is there something of _incredible_ value that we're really missing on because of a lack of marketing ?

I'm more pessimistic. I think the reason we're not drowning in great stuff is that there isn't that much great stuff, and it does not stay in the shadow for very long.

And that's okay ! The proverbial "99% of everything being crap" is a feature, not a bug ; producing lots of different stuff and being able to label it as "crap" is the only way to organically find good stuff, eventually.

Still, what do you think we're really missing ? What is John Carmack thinking about when writing this tweet ?

But if you know of an hidden gem, I'm interested !
Looking at Jamie from 10 years ago, he looks like he has a lot of visceral fat, as well as a smallish pair of man boobs.

If he doesn't seem overweight to you, that might just be because we have so many people these days who are actually obese.

Take Jamie to China and people would probably call him fat.

> Also, I have ADHD. This is probably relevant, but I haven't quite figured out how.

Definitely relevant but likely more a by product of your unhappiness. If you're being tasked to do things that aren't interesting you'll have every incentive to not pay attention.

As some one with severe ADHD I strongly recommend a high fat + high protein breakfast and limit the caffeine. For high fat I usually take fish oil. For high protein I usually eat eggs with cheese and grain bread. Also, no coffee after 11AM as it has a pretty long half life.

Get into a good sleep schedule, also. Sleep more then you need. Try to wake up at the same time every day.

Last bit: ADHD isn't a curse, it can be a blessing - you just need to manifest it right.
I subsidized a rather large solar installation on my farm by mining with the excess electricity. This installation drastically lowers my reliance on the grid.

Academic freedom of teachers teaching a 2nd or 3rd grader how to read? Or of teachers of 6th graders learning geography.

This is where we get into politics and agendas. What happens when teachers want to introduce political ideas / ideologies to impressionable minds without them realizing it (they are kids)? What happens when parents disagree with those ideologies?

If everyone involved is free thinking and capable of evaluating things it's one thing. That's something that's possible at the college level. Dealing with young children is entirely different.
> Academia is now a political race, rife with fraud to gain advantage, odd conflicts-of-interest, and extreme biases. You get tenure by sucking up so you have strong letters. From there, the elites are extremely over-capitalized, which leads to financial fraud too (my alma mater has an endowment of around $30M per faculty member). NDAs and non-disparage agreements are used to shut people up (at least below tenured-faculty level) who step out-of-line and to cover up fraud.

That all seems like an argument for academic freedom. Protect people who speak out against the system or politics. Just because academic freedom has deteriorated does not mean is should be given up on.
Forgive me if the assumptions I'm making here are incorrect, obviously or belittling. It seems you're an engineer trying to help a PM here. Ideally they can get mentorship from a more senior PM inside or even outside your organization.

I stress finding mentorship because what you're bringing up speaks to this individual not quite getting one of the key pieces of a junior PMs job - controlling scope. If they don't understand that and iterative development they likely need a larger education in the job itself and how to be effective at it.
I'm not trying to complain on behalf of myself; I'm trying to paint you all a picture of "what it was like." Social and cultural spaces were different back then.

What you're doing is trying to isolate and relate what I was going through, but through your own lens and you can't much do it that way.

For example, I was fortunate to go to an Ivy League school and as a black person that felt like a huge privilege, one that I damn sure was going to stay within a certain set of behaviors to keep. You can't measure "academic freedom" without that kind of context.

Again, maybe I/we misread and perhaps had more room to speak than we thought. Probably did. But again, just painting the picture for you.

I assume OP is referring to the complexity with recurring payments from Indian customers. Since April 2021, India has rules that makes it really hard to accept recurring payments. In addition to the 3DS authentication at setup, the transaction has to go through 3DS authentication every month for transactions over Rs.15000($190).

To simply explain the flow, every month an email would need to go to the subscriber and the subscriber has to approve the transaction via 3DS. Only then the recurring transaction will go through.
Why is this too often? We already need to update tzdata continuously.

I don’t know this Charles Morton. But, with all due respect to the guy, I bet his colleagues would have pointed out the weakness of his argument…

Morton must have known about the existence of South America (and the vast tracts of unexplored N. America) as well as Asia and Africa.

Surely he wouldn’t have expected to have found treatises on bird populations written by Incas and Zulus, Chinamen and Mongols, in whatever collection of writings he had access to.

I think he may have really wanted to believe in the moon theory.

Perhaps thats the lesson here… not so much missing data, as a blind spot for fallacies when you have a cool thing you want to believe in.

That's because gentrification in America displaces lower income but gentrification in developing countries is more mixed and brings growth. Make some restaurants near a poor area in Mexico, the poor are happy to earn and not have travel 30 miles for work. 5 years in, they will leave to a cheap suburb or rural area.

FB is not making the mundane argument that we should pick one time system over another. They are literally proposing that the world should redefine UTC to be TAI with a permanent fixed offset, which is functionally equivalent to just using TAI.

That is effectively proposing the deletion of the most commonly used time system of the three primary time systems from existence and forcing everybody and all existing systems that use it to convert to what is effectively TAI.

That is not mundane. Mundane is arguing that everybody should use TAI. Arrogant is arguing that we should force everyone to do it by redefining their dependencies under them.

Yeah this is not really how you do the math (and your salary should count as expense for the Gewerbesteuer no?)

You should calculate the end % of tax. The 45% is the marginal rate. Also the solidarity tax has a ceiling

(And not everything is charged the full VAT rate)

And in the end, that number doesn't mean much? Switzerland for example had much lower tax, but your cost of life shot up. Some other places your income tax might be lower but sales taxes are higher.

It's all relative

Edit, as an example for 200kEUR in Berlin your tax will be ~ 43% (Cat I) - for 1MEUR/yr you're paying 46%

(this is not so much about Berlin or Germany - the math is the same everywhere - it's about people thinking that the rate means they pay that % of their salary)

That's true, but if you can find a well paying remote job and a nice place to live you'll have a good life in Italy. Just don't rely on the state and you'll be fine.
But the people who argue with climatologists largely don't argue that the world isn't warming up, so that's irrelevant. They're mostly interested in whether the modelling is accurate (because if it's not there's no real problem; all concerning scenarios rely on modelled feedback loops), in how much of it is created by humans, in how expensive reduction is vs mitigation and so on.

There are people who argue that there have been pauses in that increase, but they're citing official temperature datasets from climatologists to show that. Usually satellite or weather balloon data because the surface temperature dataset has diverged from it, largely due to continual 'remodelling'.

"Or ask why we keep on beating heat records in the last decade."

We keep being told records are being broken but this is often on close inspection not really legit. Old data gets ignored, or datasets get altered such that years that supposedly broke records later get re-declared as not being record breaking after the fact so the same record can then be broken for a second time by the same temperature, or the record breaking temperatures turn out to be taken by weather stations at airports i.e. where they're being blasted by jet exhaust and hot tarmac.

If you actually go engage with the people criticizing the IPCC, which includes a fair number of climatologists, it's that kind of detail oriented thing you'll see being discussed. And these are important points. It's meaningless to talk about temperature records being broken if climatologists edit the historical record every few years, creating warming trends where previously none were visible.

I think it's just the general trend of portraying intel as incompetent (particularly in GPU).
To clarify, the thing one eliminates is typically a molecule or a food group--the most common are probably (in no order) added sugar, gluten, fried foods, processed foods, dairy, and red meat. One can eliminate any or all of those, typically for a month (gives your gut time to change), and then, if you want to, experiment with adding things back in.

A nice thing about the gut microbiome is that it's self-reinforcing, both psychologically and gustatorily--as in, once one's body realizes a food doesn't help, one tend to both think "why would I make myself feel like that?", and to find the experience of eating/drinking it less pleasurable, alien, or even disgusting.
Both sentiments seem true.

Absolutely, there is plenty of high-value stuff out there that people are unaware of. And marketing is how you'd bring awareness. But real value is irrelevant to a capitalist market; perceived value is all that matters.

When customers have a diminished ability to assess value (i.e. consumers who cannot reasonably thoroughly evaluate every purchase decision), optimal marketing becomes a game of illusion and misperception. And modern marketing has evolved to the point where it's incredibly effective at hijacking known human biases and weaknesses to create perceived value where no practical value exists. In this way, the net-effect of many marketing campaigns is increased profits for companies, with no net value created for the community.

The clothing industry is a prime example: Marketing pushes that their products are cheap and stylish, with the underlying implication that consumers will be happier and save $. In reality, though, they'll spend a lot more in the long run, and reinforce social insecurities.

The issue is that all timekeeping is going to be an approximation of our messy Solar System. The only question is, "How accurate is accurate enough?"

Currently our calendar goes off by one day in 3236 years. If the history is calendars is indicative, in about 10,000 more years we may change our calendar. (Or, being multi-planetary by then, maybe we'll consider it a quaint relic of our origin.)

Our clocks predict astronomical time of day to less than a minute for a human lifetime. And both DST and timezones demonstrate that we're happy to live with the clock and Sun disagreeing by an hour or more.

My position is that both are currently good enough for the next couple of thousand years. And we can let our distant descendants sort it out when the time comes.
Given that one of the languages that historically used the same syntax for array access and function invocation since day one is BASIC, I would dare say that it's not a complicated concept.
> Every six months is simply too often. If it was switched to an adjustment made every 2-10 decades with at least a decade to update the file then the problem would be greatly lessened.

You seem confused. It doesn't happen every 6 months, it gets announced 6 months in advance – since we know there won't be one this year, it will have only happened twice total in the 10 years prior to December this year.

That's hardly an enormous and constant disruption – turning it in to a multi-minute disruption "every 10 decades" would likely be more concentratedly disruptive, leading to more calls to put it off to avoid the immediate pain, leading to ever-more accumulated error.

Spreading the pain out into a leap second every few years feels like a much better and more sustainable solution. This keeps processes in-use and up-to-date rather than long-forgotten-and-everyone-who-knew-them-is-dead.
>Some people have made their political ideology the foundation that they build their ego on[...]

This remind me about the idea of "holy wars" in "The denial of death" of Ernest Becker.

“Since the main task of human life is to become heroic and transcend death, every culture must provide its members with an intricate symbolic system that is covertly religious. This means that ideological conflicts between cultures are essentially battles between immortality projects, holy wars.”

Also something along the lines of preferring to annihilate the other before they risk to be symbolically annihilated, like if we prefer the physical death before than the death of the symbolic. For both the other (when is an ideological opponent) and ourselves. We may be physically death, but symbolically immortal.

That’s a good question. My guess is that research clustered people around that point.

Bigger vehicles pollute more (engine, brake/tire particulates, and both engine and tire noise), the design and poor handling ensures that crashes are more likely and more lethal when they happen, and the size means that the median driver has issues fitting their vehicle in standard lanes and parking spaces. I live in a city where many ostensibly two-lane streets are now one-lane because oversized vehicles are so common.

What this viewpoint always misses is the labor market. That's a real market with real consequences, and when monopolies roll up entire industries, that's market power that gets used _against_ workers and their wages.

I don't think it's worth ignoring that or the loss in real innovations in the name of being deferential to established business and the imagined value of the quality products they create.
