> I'd like to see a cooking teaching app that allows users to work through a recipe in varying levels of detail. For example, consider a Lasagna. A lower level recipe may use ricotta for a quick and easy version, a higher level might explain step by step how to make a bechamel, and the "hardest" level may just say "make a bechamel".

Can you hear that noise? That's the noise of a million Italians crying. Because of you. Learn to make 'mother sauces' straight away guys! They're simple and flavorful.

> In a world where we pay for stamps, why didn't bulk unsolicited mail go away? Why would it work for telephones?

Different situation. Bulk mail is not illegal, in fact the USPS subsidizes it. Spam calls ARE illegal. Hopefully phone carriers will not give discounts for explicitly illegal uses of their networks, but we can deal with that later if it happens.
This story has some interesting ideas, but suffers greatly from being a Mary Sue[1] fanfic; the protagonist is a vastly overpowered author self-insert.

The issue with all of this is that we're allowing actions against property while not respecting the rights of the owner. The FBI/cops can and should raid a place being used for crime, but it does not mean the cops should get to keep all the property that is seized. A much more mundane situation: Dad shouldn't have the family car auctioned off because his kid's friend decided to shoot up in the back seat. This civil asset forfeiture thing is insanely unconstitutional.
Why stand with the direct democracy? It's not like people decide anything that matters.
There is and always will be a fundamental tension between law enforcement and people wanting privacy and security (when from law enforcement).

A simple illustration of what might trigger people to thing of the other side of this might be "Why is it so hard as a U.S. citizen to get an offshore bank account that the U.S. absolutely completed can't get access to no matter what?"

The U.S. government thinks they have very valid reasons they should be able to see the details of the accounts of all U.S. citizens regardless of where those accounts may be. For the most part I agree with the concept, because as an entity responsible for collecting and running off of taxes, allowing otherwise is antithetical to their existence, and I'd rather the U.S. government continue to run. That doesn't mean I think they should have access to everything about all accounts, but they should have access to some information. At the same time, I don't think they should access to nothing about certain accounts, for similar reasoning. Both extremes are unacceptable, as is often the case.
I'm betting your first book deal (could be ghostwritten) would more than make up for the discrepancy. You might also invest in a hotel down the street and suggest foreign dignitaries stay there. Or employ your kids who can do the same! So many good ways to more than make up the salary drop.

> Doesn’t a Fed typically lower rates during a recession?

Recessions have weak employment (that's one of the most important factors NBER looks at to determine recession, among the key reasons they have declared two of the last three recessions without two consecutive down GDP quarters, and one of the key reasons the present two consecutive down GDP quarters is arguably not a recession.)

The Fed dual mandate relates to price stability and full employment (it doesn't independently consider recession per se.) It typically lowers rates in a recession to nudge back toward full employment.

Employment remaining strong and inflation remaining high, thought, it raises rates, even if some people think it may be a recession.

The point is you can still write memory safe code and avoid all the double free and user after free bugs if you just use smart pointers correctly and standard namespace constructs. You can be extra safe and use unique pointers and transfer ownership.

Sure, there are some things that Rust makes nice, like compile time checking for errors, however with C++ codebases, they will just result in runtime errors rather than usable exploits.

If students would always look carefully and critically at the relevant sources Wikipedia cites, assess their authors’ biases, compare multiple sources, etc., before ultimately picking what to cite, that would be one thing.

But what happens instead (in people’s published journal papers! not to mention news articles, etc.) is authors lazily crib material from Wikipedia and then either cite nothing or randomly pick works from among Wikipedia’s sources to cite without ever looking at them.

If you are writing a paper you should cite where you got the information. If the only place you looked was Wikipedia, that’s not great research practice but you should still cite Wikipedia. Honesty is an even more important part of scholarship than diligence.

Why the word 'move'? Is there a historically, deeper or technical resin to use a word, that to me, doesn't mean what is getting used for?
This is a terrible view of humankind, society and the people around you.

What is "stupidity" other than a concept vague enough that you can just throw it at anybody to, in part, immediately raise yourself to some level of superiority, and essentially defame without actually having to argue anything? Obviously they are stupid, and since you realize that, you are obviously not, so what's there to argue, right?

Human intelligence, if that's what "stupidity" is supposed to be about, is many-dimensional. Even within a single dimension, most actions, opinions or expressions of such are not clear-cut more or less intelligent. Often you just happen to agree with one or see problems with another one. But it doesn't immediately mean somebody is "stupid". And it also ignores the "why". Maybe somebody is lacking education in a certain field, perhaps because of a lack of funds or opportunity because they grew up in a disadvantaged neighborhood. Or because of a medical condition. Or maybe they are just tired. Who knows. Oh right, they are "stupid", that's what they are.

And finally, even if somebody does something "stupid" .. don't put yourself on such a high horse. You likely also do "stupid" things. All the time. You don't realize it though, you'd otherwise stop doing that thing. So, if the conclusion is that we are all "stupid" in some way, they yeah, we can claim that there are "stupid" people all around us, but that's not a particularly meaningful statement.

Honestly, this was a very sad read.
Yes! But that's something you can teach! Ricotta isn't traditional at all, but that's a trade-off you can choose to make. I think telling people that, presenting the options and trade-offs, and teaching each level, makes it all so much more accessible while still helping people appreciate the traditional side!

A good example is carbonara. So many people learn to make it with cream etc because they think it'll be easier, or the person they are learning from believes it's easier to make, but when you look at the differences it's actually barely easier to do than the traditional, or even harder in some cases, so why not just learn the traditional.
I think another key factor to happiness in California is the weather. It's hard to find a place in Europe that is top-tier economically and has nice weather year-round.

David Wallace-Wells addresses that point immediately following the observation:

[Energy independence] hasn’t proved quite as useful as you might think: Because energy prices are set on global markets, domestic production doesn’t mean Americans pay less at the pump. But thanks in large part to fracking, the United States has become the world’s largest producer of both oil and gas.

And as the following 'graph notes, the real financial cost has been immense:

from 2010 to 2020, U.S. shale lost $300 billion. Previously, from 2002 to 2012, Chesapeake, the industry leader, didn’t report positive cash flow once, ending that period with total losses of some $30 billion, as Bethany McLean documents in her 2018 book, “Saudi America,” the single best and most thorough account of the fracking boom up to that point. Between mid-2012 and mid-2017, the 60 biggest fracking companies were losing an average of $9 billion each quarter. From 2006 to 2014, fracking companies lost $80 billion; in 2014, with oil at $100 a barrel, a level that seemed to promise a great cash-out, they lost $20 billion. These losses were mammoth and consistent, adding up to a total that “dwarfs anything in tech/V.C. in that time frame,” as the Bloomberg writer Joe Weisenthal pointed out recently.

My understanding of "privileged luxury" would be precisely what Wallace-Wells describes: operating a commercial concern in an utterly unprofitable and financially unsustainable manner to the tune of billions of dollars.

Fracking itself has done little to lower energy prices --- it's a high-marginal-cost operation (well, if you'll allow negative profit as a definition of "cost"), where oil prices are set at the marginal cost of production. Fracking is a response to either actual, or anticipated, high oil costs. The fact is that once committed to a course of operation, that is, developing and fracking a well, the only option for operators to minimise future losses (rather than generate actual profits) is to operate the wells to produce some revenue offsetting financing costs, at a net loss. The low-cost oil extractors (e.g., Saudi Arabia) bank that revenue in excess of costs as land rents (look up David Ricardo), laugh all the time. Further, Saudi can weaken not only the frackers but the entire US financial system (over-leveraged on fracking investments) by incrementally increasing output, and driving down prices, because as Wallace-Wells notes, oil trades globally.

Yours seems to be an exceptionally selective and counterfactual reading.
Fast food is pricing itself out of the market. I think it's a great example of a sector that failed to innovate and is now incapable of providing a product worth buying at prices that are profitable.

McDonalds et al. probably should've been investing a lot more in automating their kitchens. The fact that a huge percent of locations -- and all drive-thrus -- still use humans for the ordering process is, similarly, inexcusable.

Unless the US massively increases its low-skilled immigration quotes, robotics firms will be the FAANG equivalents of the 2020s-2030s.
There is a weird bug on your "What do you want to learn about first?" question.

I am able to select both "Cheeseburger" and "Greek Salad" but not "Greek Salad" and "Spaghetti & Meatballs". If I tap "Greek Salad" after first tapping "Spaghetti & Meatballs" then it deselects the "Spaghetti & Meatballs" and selects "Greek Salad" (even with only 1 item selected).

Anyway, cool concept.

Have you stopped to use your own logic for a second, and maybe conclude that encouraging smokers to quit via vaping (if they cannot otherwise) would be a good thing? Because they have very large differences in the degree of bad?

I've been told that some national borders make it clear about the difference attitudes toward the environment. That is, one side of the border is filled with trees and the other is denuded by a population that doesn't think in the long term and simply trashed the environment.

That kind of difference might be visible through one of these telescopes, especially if the border is long.
Facebook reports drop in revenue for the first time
Easy solution: The telco automatically credits 75% of the tax to your account. They then attempt to collect 100% of the tax from the caller.

At that point, the free market gets to decide if it's cheaper to eat the cost of the call (remember, each subscriber sets the amount of the tax), or secure their infrastructure.

>Go back 100 years [...] they made so little money that taking bribes was how they kept afloat financially.

Hell, even today that's still the case in many countries with a large number of underpaid public servants - specifically China, where extorting bribes is considered a perk of the job.

Contrast to Singapore, which pays its members of parliament 3x the median household income and is tied for second place on the (lowest) Corruption Perception Index.

possibly as in ancient Greece at times - by lot. We have a similar situation with lay judges. For each district, exactly the same number of electoral districts and thus seats in parliament will be allocated. The remuneration will surely be interesting for many and who does not want can refuse. Draws will be made among all people living there. Including children (represented by their legal guardians in case) and illegal immigrants, former inmates and GAFAM CEOs.

Admittedly radical, but if we want to have a representative cast of the parliaments the most honest approach.

This line of argument is exactly why I think intention (mens rea) should be abolished from the legal system completely. Outcomes matter, intentions don't matter. If you don't want to put someone in danger, don't do the thing that may put them in danger. It's up to you to anticipate the consequences of your actions.

> Users have very widely varying amounts of money.

I really do not understand this argument. This is a fact of life.

Isn't the price of gas affecting poorer citizens? Should we subsidize the gas with ads in you car? Isn't the price of housing affecting poorer citizens? Should we subsidize houses with ads on your walls? How abot having ads via an electrode in your brain 24/7 to get food for free? Where would this lead humanity?

Having a price point is how 99% of world's economy works and it is completely normal that everyone can not buy everything, and that people have to budget and prioritise their expenses based on the perceived value they are getting. I am pretty sure that people would give up on 99% ad-supported content on the web quite easilly if it had even a $0.01 price point, because it is simply not worth it for most people (and not consuming it would arguably improve their lives too).

> I have yet to see a good micropayments proposal,

Or the simple answer is just unwillingness to implement because of conflict of interest. We went to the Moon in 8 years and micropayments are objectively a simpler problem.

> Hacker News has ads (paid links on the front page for job openings), and Wikipedia has fundraising banners (which many adblockers block).

I was not aware you can buy an ad on Hacker News. Source?

Wikipedia example is different from what we are discussing, because for Wikipedia user=customer so they are selling their service to their users, for Google Search, Chrome Browser and most ad-supported websites user!=customer (customer there being an advertiser, introducing conflict of interest).

> My blog is funded just by me as a hobby project, yes, but most of what I (and I suspect you) read on the web isn't.

Most of the content I choose to read does not have ads. I do this consciously as I know that the content with ads will be lower quaility and probably not worth my time. This includes almost all news. "We are what we read" [1] and I am very careful about what content I put in my brain, like I am careful what food I put in my body.

They sterilized the market as a containment protocol for SARS-CoV-2, which eliminated the evidence.

With SARS-1 the market was still fully operating when they went looking for the origins.

Once the human pandemic kicks off and you find some civets or whatever with the virus, then how do you prove they had it before the humans unless you have lucky lab samples drawn from civets who were infected prior to Dec 2019? You'd need to do something like find civit-adapted SARS-CoV-2 which could be genetically dated to prior to Dec 2019 because there were simply too many mutations to have been backspill from the human pandemic. If the spread in civets started very shortly before the spread in humans then that would likely not be possible at this point. If you could find a virus in civets that was 5 years of genetic drift away from SARS-CoV-2 that would probably work, but that may never have existed. What remains is finding the persistent bat reservoir.
