So does selling the apartment to future homeowners, which can be boosted by providing mortgages to young families. If the company needs finance it can produce corporate bonds, taking out loans, the state could provide funding, etc.

What is the basis for claiming any more funding is required for their construction and aquisition? This 'investment' only drives up real estate prices, and as a result ever more money will be required for future land aquisitions. It is literally a system that easts itself.

Certainly. The habit changes are just my anecdote. The anecdotes of others such as the mentioned photographers. They are two different perspective (consumer and creator) so I'm sure there are different experiences.

The consumer notices changes of their friends, who is posting what.

The creator notices changes in their impressions, how many is viewing what.

Melting lead in a can over a open coke fire: bliss!

We did learn you shouldn’t pour lead into an old bullet casing/cartridge: some residual gunpowder or primer blew molten lead everywhere. The splatters lasted on the roof until the house was sold much later. Christchurch, New Zealand, so not rural or nothing.
1. You are both correct and incorrect. The most well written about musicians are the most popular by definition within the group of people who write about musicians. A) This does not mean that those musicians are popular within some sizeable portion of the general population. B) The preferences of the people writing about musicians (that wikipedia will accept as a source) are not guaranteed to be representative of the population at large, in fact I'd wager that essentially guaranteed to be not true at different points in time and for different genres.

Wikipedia is choosing to conflate the popularity of an artist amongst the writing group and the popularity in the broader public. And when the two groups disagree, they are choosing to go with those who write rather than with the broader public.

2. This isn't about "the sources provided shot that he's popular", it's do we acknowledge that their contribution is defined as popular. Dragon Ball Z is/was an incredibly popular and influential anime.

I guess all it takes now is for someone at WIRED who loved Dragon Ball Z to publish an article or two about them and they suddenly become notable.
How do you think humans should incentivize R&D without allowing for those who successfully deployed R&D to protect their ability to reap the fruits of their efforts? I’m sympathetic and am very interested in the idea of the government creating public goods out of intellectual property on a national level (ie instead of rewarding copyrights/parents the government would buy out the creator and make it free for citizens to do what they’d like), but that could work because the government has sovereignty over its territory - how do you prevent international free riding on R&D?
How would slashing corporate taxes fix inflation? Corporate taxation encourages companies to reinvest into their own businesses: hiring more people, increased capex, etc. Cutting taxes just causes companies to either hoard cash, or return capital to shareholders through dividends or stock buybacks. Neither of these things helps the economy, or helps the average person; it's just wealth transfer from all taxpayers, to elites.

Check out what airlines did in the last half of the last decade. Check out what kinds of companies benefited most from the COVID-related handouts, and see what they did with that money.
For certain legal written uses. The claim that the King was also the monarch of France was only dropped from the official titles lat in the French revolution. Then again, the charter of my high school was signed by Charles I and is written in English, like all the other colonial era official documents I've seen (a small number!) were.

But as a spoken language, there is plenty of evidence the other way. All the Tudors and Stuarts were English speakers, for example.

I have heard that French was the vernacular of the late Romanovs, about which I am…dubious.
It depends on the assignment. In some areas, the CIA officers are openly recruiting such as in the “internet freedom” space.

Often they are unofficially under cover as U.S. State Department but they don’t make much of an effort to hide it.

Example: if they think it will impress you into joining them as an officer.

Worse example: if they want to make you into an asset, they will toss out threats like candy on Halloween once they have dirt on you.
The most useful tool is the academic citation graph, e.g. via Google Scholar.

Start with a couple keywords. Click through the "cited by n" links on the top few papers. For papers that don’t have PDFs freely available, find DOIs and put them into Sci-hub. Books can often be found at the Internet Archive, Google Books, or libgen. At the start, skim skim skim.

Look at what links forward and backward from the papers you see. Hunt for new keywords to try. Go a few hops all around the graph. It often doesn’t take too long to get a rough lay of the land.
>Big difference between a mechanical fault and what appears to be regulatory capture

You can't call Airbus's design decision to average the inputs a "mechanical fault", somehow that got approved by regulators.

You are damning Airbus with the same attack you are aiming at Boeing.

The 737-MAX crashes are absolutely horrific and how the FAA responded was terrible. The design was shit and should have had better review, same for Airbus and what caused France 447.

Those are music picks I regularly update... It would be really cool if there was the ability to standardize the format for small web sites like this and then be able to follow others with similar interests... Pretty much reviving the old Myspace in essence, but with independent micro-sites for hosting curated links and other content from each user.
In the above context it seemed to be used as a derogatory term. Perhaps the more neutral “jargon” would have been less loaded and more accurate, since marketing jargon is not, in-fact, a creole
That's the weird thing. 100 years ago I'd have doubted that. Some people would have been sure it was 100% accurate and others that all medicine was just nonsense.

And we're in the same place now.

Because people 100% believe things based on zero evidence.
A wiki "is" its maintainers. Separate editors — separate wiki. Wikipedia stops where the interest of Wikipedia's editors in maintaining pages stops; which is usually where the interest of another, distinct group of editors in maintaining those pages starts.

That other set of editors could all just be Wikipedia editors, but then they'd have to play by Wikipedia's rules. They'd rather play by their own set of rules, and more importantly, have the ability to define their own rules. Autonomy. Sovereignty.

Now, in theory, there could be some "hierarchy of wikis" all maintained within one system, where different namespaces are maintained by different groups of editors (similar to e.g. Reddit with subreddit moderators) — but, because the goal would remain the creation of a single cohesively-presented encyclopedia, this would result in terrible inter-group conflicts about things that don't fall crisply into the magisterial domain of one group of editors or the other — e.g. rules for when a wiki page in one namespace, should link a topic of a wiki page in another namespace, and how that citation should be done.

(Imagine if editors in namespace A believed that a page in namespace B really should exist, and so kept linking to it, despite the editors of namespace B disagreeing; and the system hosting all of these constantly bubbling up the non-existent page to the attention of the editors in namespace B because it received new external links.)

The solution to this is decentralization. No hierarchy, no shared system, just reusable open-source software and federation through hypertext linkage entirely controlled by the origin. Which is exactly what you get when each wiki is its own website.
> ive even driven him to a substance abuse program a few times.

I’m sorry.
Yes, but if the step-by-step procedure is known, it can be programmed manually and does not need to be machine-learned from examples. It doesn't have to be the same person who writes the manual and does the coding.

An approach like the one in the article above would be useful if it could derive a procedure we don't know how to code manually.
Whenever I see an argument like this I'm confused by how hand-wavey "just achieve societal change" is. Like, sure, there's various issues with various technological approaches, but it's not as if the kind of broad social change that'd see private cars outlawed develops overnight.

If anything, the last couple of decades demonstrate pretty convincingly and depressingly that putting together real momentum (read: won referendums on things like carbon taxes, _not_ push polls) is capital-H Hard. It's absolutely true that various bad actors play a factor in that level of difficulty, but they're not going to shut up and go away if we clap our hands and wish really hard either. Consider [1]: this is in a constituency electorally dominated by one of the most avowedly socially-liberal cities in the US and year after year it goes down by similar margins, and that's incredibly anodyne compared to straight-up getting rid of private cars.

Conversely, supply-side energy mix changes have, over the same timeframe, made drastic improvements in emissions-per-capita without requiring much/any self-sacrifice. Martyrdom doesn't really scale in the same way.

So: what's your plan for gaining the power required to implement your scenario, taking into account the apparent ineffectiveness of decades of messaging? "just ban the cars" would be sensical if you were emperor for a day, but failing any miracles it seems to me that the real distraction is this sort of utopianism.

The reward of a novel invention is enough to keep it going. Look at science. All ideas are published and shared and you don't have this freeloader issue, because the rewards follow innovation even when those innovations are pubically shared. Also take a look at your own work. Chances are you are freeloading on someone else's ideas with everything you do, and there are huge chunks of process that you are only able to do because someone decided to make those ideas freely available to other people.
Shell have committed to being net zero by 2050, including the products they sell and have some kind of a plan in place to make it happen.

There's bits of their plan that seem dubious to me, like mentions of carbon capture but overall, since I believe that the problem of climate change wasn't "oh no, we can't do this, because it's impossible" but rather "we're not going to do this", that commitment and plan is all I'm really looking for.

It would be like the USA implementing a carbon tax. Is it instantly going to solve all the problems tomorrow? Will it magically fix all the previous carbon they've emitted. No, but it would be a really smart thing to do and just based on their size, would have a massive impact over time accelerating the transition.

They only killed universal free lunch, not the means tested part. Poorer kids are still getting free lunches and now the richer families have to pay for school lunches. They ended welfare for the wealthy.
Kanye has done this. Multiple times I believe, but notably with different versions of "The Life of Pablo" on music streaming services.
I thought there were plans to force Tiktok to sell its American assets for peanuts and no data leaves US (only US corporations are allowed to spy on US citizens).
Yes. The grains that somebody produces are their private property. Why does the government have to force the owners to sell their own property?
The one time I had my car broken into was in a nice quiet town with low crime. But I was on a not-so-great street. Crime is pretty localized. Most criminals don't go very far out of their way.
Not sure if you're being serious with these numbers, but we've had 1,000,000 covid deaths in the U.S. So we'd need 25% unemployment to match... And people are still dying from covid.
I read this a long time ago, too! It's great.
Yeah, the classics are evergreen. Beyond Roads' Computer Music Tutorial, his Microsound is also a classic of the genre and IMO one of the best treatments I've seen of time-based artforms, situating compositional practice in between the Planck time as the lower bound and the age of the universe as the upper. :-)

Allen Strange also wrote a manual for programming the Buchla Music Easel synth:

Minus the patch storage of the original hardware, you can work through it using Arturia's Buchla Easel standalone/plugin software:

This is true for large digital integrated circuits.

There's also analog fabs, MEMS fabs, LED/photo/laser fabs.

Places like Analog still have smaller fabs like that.
Those fabs also seem likely to create technological progress into the future, and so the US should be funding those too.
Wikipedia may be a good start if you're completely clueless about a topic. But, academically-speaking, it doesn't last long. You're not going to be able to produce anything more insightful than a fresher's last minute sunday night essay using wikipedia.

There's a good reason these litography machines and other CNC equipment have GPS sensitive tracking. Even a slight deviation renders the equipment non-operable and dials home immediately if they lose connectivity.
I switched to Carbon Collective recently. Very happy with their approach and their transparency. A lot of ESGs are greenwashed, so it's nice putting my money somewhere I can actually feel OK about.
> It's worth thinking about alternate policies you could set up

A reasonable alternative would be for the notability requirement simply to be that the general public may run into the topic/person (and presumably therefore be interested to know more) OR may ask a question to which the article would contain the answer.

Anyone who’s creative work is published or included in a movie or whatever should automatically be included under such a rule.

It would also be sensible for the default in the case of dispute to be to keep the article unless the actual content itself is completely unverifiable, as long as there is some half way plausible argument for doing so.

There should be no sense of achievement for or gratitude towards anyone removing facts from an encyclopaedia.

Any editor who makes removing articles on notability grounds their raison d’etre demonstrates only arrogance and smugness.
King!
Yes, I am very familiar with that phenomenon.
You're smart to think of how it could be gamified.

However, the product is tightly regulated and has stiff competition. The brand name is a huge driver of sales. Anything that could impair the brand image, like dilution of product, would cause more long-term value destruction.
> Companies raising prices is not inflation

Given that we base inflation numbers on CPI, inflation exactly is companies raising prices -- well, companies that produce the goods that are included in CPI, anyway.

Yes, we still have to consider the reasoning behind why they are raising prices. Personally, I believe it is more because of supply chain shortages than COVID fiscal policy (though the latter certainly contributes), but I agree that's up for debate.
Server side GTM (and similar devious tactics) should be what gets legislated (since that's the thing that adblockers can't protect us against).
Yep, the algorithms are all geared towards serving company revenue, not towards finding the best content contributors... What you see on most platforms is now override by who pays the most to boost their posts. There's a whole bunch of smoke and mirrors goin on.
The dog also doesn't come with an off switch in case you have an important meeting with your CEO, taking it in your home office and there's a squirrel running around...
Apparently the market was basically expecting this, and Facebook now is priced like IBM in the early 2000's.
Profits matter, though! We need them to pay people to do the research and development, which people will not do for nothing - our dependence on food and shelter makes this necessary. If an American firm absorbs all the costs, but gains none of the benefit, it will not survive as long, meaning the research will also disappear alongside it.

China, on the other hand, can spend those funds elsewhere while also poaching the work of the American firm, which would put them at a great competitive advantage.
> The usage of both D and Rust is notoriously low in the industry

Rust usage is not "notoriously low" (don't know how you came to believe that) and it's growing very rapidly. The fact that it's a major supported language at Meta is evidence enough to the contrary, not to mention the plethora of post titles on HN that end with "in Rust", or are about rewriting in Rust (some of these are personal projects but many are company blog posts). I haven't seen any for D. Also just looked at the 2022 June Who's Hiring thread and ctrl-f "rust" found 23 matches, though admittedly that doesn't mean there are 23 jobs using Rust there.

I wouldn't trust Indeed, personally I've found it to be pretty bad for programming jobs, and definitely not representative of the industry (especially estimated salary, it's been wildly off for every company I've been at).

I just tried searching for a few language popularity studies, any that I found did not even include D. The StackOverflow 2022 dev survey says that Rust is both the most loved and wanted language: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#most-loved-dreaded-and...
Everytime I get on Facebook, the navbar seems to have a new combination.

Watch, Gaming (Streaming), Dating, Marketplace, "News" Feed, Shop, Groups, Home, etc... These could all be different applications under the same login.

Kylie Jenner is right (for once)... Nobody knows what Facebook or Instagram is for nowadays.

Reddit - Communities and memes

Snapchat - Sending snaps and watching stories of your actual friends

Tiktok - Fast paced entertainment (Short videos)

Twitter - What's happening right now?

Instagram and Facebook is trying to be all of those at the same time.
There are many ways of proving. The Quran is a huge proof. The fact that it detailed lost knowledge that was not available elsewhere at the time (one example[1], and there are more similar to it) is another proof. Also, check out provingislam.com.

You might as well try interviewing, you have nothing to lose. Maybe you want to revisit the anecdotes with an offer in hand.
This looks like an appeal to nature, concerning a form of conduct that could just as well be conditioned in individuals.

It also seems to place the government in direct opposition with the wants of consumers, without acknowledging at all the fact that markets are just as often made unfree by the actions of its private actors.
Because their in house lawyers tell them they need a custom made one.

Ask HN: Interview prep area with a greater focus on soft skills?
I'm unemployed and having trouble getting a full-time developer job. My job history is dominated by freelance work. My time as a freelancer and working on personal projects is more isolating. It hasn't allowed me to grow the "office" skills such as working on teams, collaborating, advocating for yourself and others, etc. I'm pretty sure that in many places I interview with, they reject me because I'm seen too much as a lone wolf and won't fit in for that reason.

Every single prep website or course I can find regarding tech jobs, is only focused on tech questions. That's obvious you might say, but I feel that's only half the picture of winning the interview. Especially since I feel I would benefit more for improving my soft skills and navigating a workplace with many people.

I took a course before, it was paid and mostly focused on tech skills. I learned a couple of things on solving certain tech problems, but after a year of follow-through I still haven't found a job because of them. (which I now owe lots of money anyways, even though it was supposed to be deferred payment and still have no job)

What I would like to find are either prep guides focused on the soft skills needed to navigate work politics. Especially since I don't know if my future job will stick with 100% remote. Or perhaps workplace-oriented team-building setting that exists outside of work, as I'm currently out of a job.

Or perhaps something like a co-working space that's very casual and does workshops? Know of any places that provide this kind of practice that can help unemployed developers looking to boost their soft skills? I'm having trouble finding local ones tbh, they're all still recovering from the past lockdowns.
Its pretty pathetic that american companies cant compete with tiktoks social media dominance (because they are too busy optimizing for maximum ad engagement over user experience) and so are trying to engage in a xenophobic propaganda campaign instead of just giving some product managers the power to override decisions by the ad dept.

Instagram has a horrible ux, and they accept that because they'd rather chase dollars than user satisfaction. There is no moat around tiktok, it's just stubborn hubris.
That’s why SpaceX took off, they won contracts.

Can you elaborate? How was Boeing subsidized in this instance and SpaceX not? It's my understanding that it was closer to the other way around. Both Boeing and SpaceX won commercial crew contracts, but Boeing (at the time) had a stronger track record. It was a strategic move by NASA to not put all their eggs in one basket and it worked out well by subsidizing the early dark horse (SpaceX).
