I think Capitalism is too simple or broad a term. It really encompasses a lot of ideas into a single word, and some of those ideas are natural and admirable while others are generally counterproductive.

You could say that someone who performs a dance well and gains positive attention from an audience is expressing capitalism. The idea that putting work plus talent to get appreciation (in monetary or other forms) is not necessarily bad.

I think what we currently experience as capitalism is a skewed, min/max version which loses sight of the main value and focuses too much on simple financial return.

Your comment was abusive because it crossed into personal attack as well as breaking other site guidelines. Plus it's particularly abusive to post the same provocation three times. You shouldn't be copy-pasting comments to begin with, and you were obviously stoking a flamewar in this case.

The HN guidelines don't say that nothing political should be allowed - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4922426.

Yes and No. I have a lot of sympathies for that argument, but also for the view that individual votes don't matter.

I feel like a lot of these awesome curated lists would provide more value if the curator added some notes. "You probably want A unless you need to do X, in which case you should choose B or C. D isn't production-ready yet but is making rapid progress so keep an eye on it." As it is, most of these lists aren't much more useful than a web search would be.
Well-written modern browsers suspend tabs. Barely uses any RAM.
On my work laptop, I have 152 tabs open right now. I use a Firefox plugins called Panorama tab groups to organize them by projects. These are long running projects where I have web documents, references, reports and action tickets for each project. There are pages that I reference multiple times per day every day. I don’t want to be closing and reopening them. That is a lot of work and sometimes context and state would be lost. The plugin lets me see just the tabs for a given project at one time. I can switch projects and then I am only seeing the tabs for that project. I could do this within separate windows but that would require managing up to 10 windows in the browser and that’s a lot of work. Also it’s too easy to close the browser and lose the windows.

Most of the tabs are not active at any given time and tend to be swapped to storage so they don’t clog up the RAM. If were to try to just close everything every time I switched projects, I would be spending way to much time and mental focus just managing tabs. This works for me.

That's not even remotely related to what he says.

It's also untrue
The mainstream conservative argument for the second amendment would be that it reflects our history and tradition; our forefathers adopted the second amendment based on their experience building a free society and it’s the law of the land until the proper procedures are followed to change it. But I don’t think I’d rile up any conservatives if I pointed out that say Japan has a different history and tradition, and that it’s not a violation of any “universal human rights” for them to restrict firearms ownership. They might assert that our way is better than the Japanese way, but few would deny that the Japanese have the right and the prerogative to restrict firearms ownership if that’s what they choose to do.

That is not to say that conservatives don’t believe in “universal human rights”—for example those who believe that a society can’t permit abortion because it violates the right to life. But conservatives don’t deny that they believe in a God we can’t see that makes rules for the world.

“Universal human rights” tends to reflect in practice the individualistic quasi-religious beliefs of European-descended liberals. In an international context it functions as a form of cultural supremacy by people who claim to reject such ideas. But isn’t it curious how on everything from the nature of marriage, to familial obligation, to sexual morality, to criminal justice, to when it’s okay to extinguish nascent human life, societies run by white people have figured out the correct “universal” answer while Bangladeshis, Nigerians, and apparently even Singaporeans have got it all wrong? This is a harder road to hoe for people who claim not to believe that their society is chosen by God to be a shining city on a hill.
Unrelated to Disney but related to mosquitoes: Singapore's Wolbachia-Aedes suppression technology is very interesting, but specific to Aedes mosquitoes. The government releases male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes that suppress the Aedes aegypti mosquito populations.

> Male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes are released regularly at NEA’s study sites to mate with female urban Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Their resultant eggs do not hatch and no offspring are produced. Continued releases lead to a decline in the urban Aedes aegypti mosquito population, and therefore less dengue transmission.

Downvoted with no replies... does that mean "it's true but I don't like to read it", or does it mean "it creates a cognitive dissonance that I can't deal with, and I don't know how to respond... so I downvote and hope it goes away"?

> At least around here, condos/apartments will … so 208V is the "rule" rather than the exception

Yeah, didn’t mean to imply it was unusual, just explaining for others that it’s not a quirk of condos/apartments specifically.

> Where it gets a little funny is that the Canadian standard for "industrial" power is 600V, not 480V

Speaking of 480V, you ever dealt with 277V much? That’s a real “fun” voltage to be around when something goes wrong. :(
A similar problem occurs on the big questions too, like when choosing an employer or university. On big questions often times much of the differences are unknowable.

Big decisions are often like icebergs. Most of the important stuff is hidden below the surface. No matter how much you analyze the tip you still have an essentially 50% chance of getting the decision wrong. It's really hard to make a major decision knowing that you have a 50% chance of getting the decision wrong, but over-analyzing the tip of the iceberg is not going to improve your decision making.
Pretty sure I was your coworker.

The interesting thing about that company is how badly it failed at filling executive roles with promotions from within OR experienced hands.

Fundamentally, the CTO failed because in their previous success, they built it from the ground-up. They had zero experience trying to take over a large org, came in like a bull in a china shop, and worst of all, made a lot of very costly, morale-destroying mistakes.

But see also the Chief Product Officer who left in disgrace or the quasi-COO who also left in disgrace. They were both promoted from within well past their level of proven competence.

The common thread? The CEO who made all of those decisions. Executive hiring requires a CEO with the ability to reflect on their personal shortcomings and those of the team. And then, they need the ability to attract and evaluate candidates. And even if they do that successfully, they need the ability to meld a group of these execs into a highly functional team.

Our CEO only had the ability to hire people he saw as junior versions of himself.

i find that when i execute a saccadic eye movement while a dlp or similarly color strobed projector image is in view, at the end of the movement i'll see a brief artifact where the colors will briefly separate on certain edges. i've always assumed that this is probably the result of the inhibitory masking lifting with different response times for different rods and cones on the retina.

i suspect this is related to saccadic masking as it does not occur with smooth pursuit movements. (only darts to new targets as opposed to smooth panning)

>self diagnosed

I was listening to a cbc program about autism on adults the other day. One person being interviewed stated she "identified as autistic". She had done some online test that said she had 70 out of 100 autism traits or something.

I was incredulous. Are these people for real?
No. The recent FEMA guide on response to nuclear weapons gives a good idea of the consequences. If all nukes that Russia and the US have were detonated on cities then there would still be quite a bit of habitable land in both.

There would be a global famine and economic contraction that would lead to untold suffering and wars. Society would slip backwards for the first time in hundreds of years. It is really quite unlikely that it would be the end of history.
Why not MINIX?
No. Otherwise we wouldn't be having so many problems to replace them.

Having substantial on-track experience I think I understand. For example, I definitely use throttle steer to navigate something like the large sweeper at Big Willow while doing 140 mph. The wheel is not a good input for subtlety at speed.

I don’t want to dump on NASCAR too much. I know there’s challenges and strategy. The culture of watching the races for the crashes is absolutely deplorable. Part of me can’t help but think that NASCAR reinforces the stereotype of the lazy American. Everyone sits around an oval stadium while consuming thousands of calories and watches the “race” for the carnage. I just don’t like it. Then again, I come here from a different culture. I don’t like what Americans call “football” (sorry, it isn’t). I played and I am into both rugby and real football.

That is to say, there might be a cultural element to consider.
In Singapore, we just have employment laws that aren't as strenuous on the employer, so there's less need to 'game the system'.

Oversimplified: legally everyone is already a gig worker in Singapore.

Seems to work out fairly well.

This is also closer to how the system worked in eg the US until a few decades ago, when it was easier to get a job just by walking into the shop and asking and also work your way through college etc.

I remember, Slatestarcodex had an article about the dangers of outsourcing your social welfare to employers.
The HN forum pushes through many "articles" around improving "productivity", while all the solutions are in plain sight. We justify our bad habits-social media because work colleagues are there (so as not to miss the water cooler conversations) and YouTube because there is a lot of "educational content".

We forget that our actions determine outcomes. The imperative to act lies solely on the individual. Most notifications systems have been designed based on UI/UX dark patterns to "maximise" interaction. Instead, I see the younger generation slipping into a complete lack of concentration.

My way to handle the onslaught of notifications is to keep them switched on for family instead. Work colleagues get a different tone (I use Telegram) because it's cross platform and inherits notification settings from the main applications.

This way, it helps boost my interaction. It offers me tabs to organise my intake, and all high post channels are archived, which I rarely check. I use Inoreader extensively; use Twitter lists to follow specific accounts (that add to my knowledge base) instead of following futile "success stories" or "collaboration" or "publications".

I was just explaining how the invention of the automobile really wasn’t much of a leap at all. Carl Benz is credited with inventing an automobile, but who wouldn’t have thought of taking the steam engine off the rails? And if you look they’d been trying to do this for a long time. In fact, the idea predated steam locomotives even. It just took a while for tires and internal combustion engines to come to be.

Agreed - I think one could argue they enjoy reading it, but in a practical sense 99% of news is largely useless, especially from feeds, since there's no real reason to expect news from the feed to be relevant to you. Arguably the same goes for most things (eg HN too), with an occasional relevant article showing up every so often.

In general, I think reading news/forums is more for enjoyment/addiction than practicality, though.

Small problem; that doesn't reinvest money into California's economy.
Musk didn't even create Tesla. Or PayPal. Or SpaceX. He just dumped daddy's apartheid-diamond-mine money into them, and then sued the founders to get an injunction against the founders being able to claim that they were the founders instead of Musk.

Edison is a spot-on reference point for Musk.

(Okay, PayPal actually bailed him out, so I guess he didn't put money into them, they put money into him).
This is because of the chip shortage. It’s really a shame.
Am I a bad person for occasionally liking it when burritos get assembled the wrong way? Like, yeah, they're better when the ingredients are mostly mixed.

But sometimes you get happy accidents where a hot-ingredient segment and a cold ingredient segment are right next to each other and you get that really nice mixture of texture and temperature in a way that can't happen if it's assembled correctly.

But yeah, how hard is it to layer the ingredients properly? If you're gonna have a job, you should try to do it well.
