It depends on what someone means by “capitalism”. Some people use a definition which is more specific than just “trade”. So for example we tend to see firms owned by individuals who are materially separate from most of the workers, and some people see this phenomenon as part of what we ultimately call “capitalism”. Control of firms by a small number of people can lead to choices which are good for the leadership but bad for most of the workers. If you have a larger economy made up of firms with this structure, then you can see a great number of choices made that benefit a small number of people to the detriment of a large number of people. Essentially, this arrangement has a tendency to enrich a minority, concentrating capital in a way that perpetuates this cycle. Eventually you end up with a whole lot of people living in desperation barely able to survive while a small number of people are unfathomably wealthy.

One might ask if such an arrangement is good for society if most people are left struggling to survive.

However this is all based on a rhetorical question: does “capitalism” the word include this arrangement of firms? Is unrestricted free trade likely to lead to this arrangement of firms? Would a different structure of firms, like cooperative ownership, alleviate some of those problems? You could still have “trade” in an economy of cooperatives. But would that still be “capitalism” or would this be considered something else?

People are divided on whether it should be called something else. But a lot of people who think we should “move beyond capitalism” do not want to eliminate free trade, just the societal norm where most firms are controlled by a small number of people.
You’re not wrong!
Not the amount of crypto, the value of crypto is the problem. Assuming you invested in Cardano or Bitcoin, now you lost 70% of your money in 1 year. Value crashes because of unknown background trading and shady chinese whales.

It seems likely the number includes production of the car, as your criticism of EVs does.

It does but it has other risks.

Lebanon has problems with power availability so there is that. You need internet access to use it.

Also it protects you but it protects a robber or hacker if they get access to your keys.

It has price fluctuations that might make USD more attractive.

Also you need to convert from BTC
to a regular currency to buy things. Well almost everything.
So long ago - I don't think I bought anything but wondering around as a kid was great
There are plenty of projects that are sold before they are started, and no reason the transaction would have to go the way you're claiming.

As long as at least one person is willing to assign their land claim to the project it could continue without that portion taxed, and acquiring or renting the claims would not have to be coupled to funding.

Modelling land as a fungible commodity that you're allowed to have as much as you want of is stupid and is just gifting a large portion of the productive output of society to those privileged enough to take on debt and those with the magic loan wand. There are plenty of other systems historically and currently that aren't as insane.
Nextdns is pretty great as a cloud hosted pihole.

You don't need a raspberry pi to do dns filtering.
Prisons were and still are expensive, but nobody went around saying "if only we could", either. The justice system then was explicitly retributive, with deterrence as a secondary goal, and rehabilitation as a distant third. So why even bother locking people up, when there are many other forms of punishment of various severity that don't take years to implement?
Why? Everything publicly observable is public. If a human can see your content and learn from it, why can’t the AI?
It might help in this situation, but it's not the best possible solution. Storing it in USD or gold is more stable. You could keep those in a vault or in a foreign bank account. Bitcoin is very volatile and, as you said, still requires exchange, which might also be very tricky in a situation like this.
It's more typically a two step process, collect data and train on data
I often wonder about these websites. You run into from time to time, full of pages with something that could be summarized in one sentence drawn out to several paragraphs, with plenty of links to pages full of affiliate links.

Is there somewhere selling a "affiliate link WordPress SEO optimized site in a box" somewhere that you can use to pump these out and promises you can make a few bucks just by clicking "Go!"?
There are fair use laws, even for copyrighted material
About as ethical as for a human to learn something from your content and monetize this knowledge.

ty for introducing me to the concept of favoriting on this site, I literally had no idea.
These are all good points.

Making corporations more accountable for external costs is maybe the great challenge of our time. I think markets and capitalism are necessary. I can't help but think there must be some more fundamental selective pressure that can be applied that will lead to corporations that take externalised cost into account being more successful over time. I have no suggestions. I'm not sure anyone does. But I can't quite get it out my mind lately. I even caught myself considering going off to study evolutionary economics. The 25 year old me would stare at me in incredulity upon hearing this. I feel like the social sciences have a ways to go still before being able to answer questions like this.
The relatives have zero say in the matter and are usually harmful, not helpful.
> … they kept the local currency subsidized … by just spending the money that people deposited in the banks.

Daniel Amerman argues that something like this happened in the USA to fund the federal stimulus payments during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns.

http://danielamerman.com/va/HollowOutOne.html :

> There are many people who are convinced that it was all "money printing". … there was indeed some money printing going on - but it accounted for less than 10% of the new money creation during the crisis.

> The facts are that the overwhelming majority of the new money - came right out of our bank accounts. Using the Federal Reserve as its intermediary, the U.S. government reached into the bank accounts of the nation, took out trillions of dollars, and then sent those dollars back out to the nation in redistributed form.
Pollution - shipping basic goods around the globe 3 times to make the simples itema creates a lot of unnessesary pollition.

Fragility - one byte from a bat, one lockdown in China and United Kingdom runs out of toilet paper.
I see a few mentions of beginner-level books that have struck a chord with people here and I empathise, as by far the computer book with the most formative impact on me was the Macintosh Bible 4th ed.

Certainly quirky, it was also one of the best attempts to capture why the Mac was different, why UX mattered, and codified for a young me a certain way of thinking about apps just as much as the Hacker Dictionary did for an earlier era.

The personality of its editor, Arthur Naiman, also shone through. I was sad to see when looking him up that he died in 2019. Short obituary here: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/sfgate/name/arthur-naim...

Golang's concurrency primitives work against the grain here, as far as the design of high performance caches. Ristretto resorts to using sync.Pool as a sloppy queue mechanism to log gets, which apparently works but is not part of the official semantics, and may prove brittle in the future. It's also just sadly still far off from what's possible using bare metal techniques in c.

I have a design I'm working on that I think may rival or surpass Ristretto, though it also benefits greatly from immutability. The TL;DR is a power of two choices hash table, where each bucket holds a couple cache lines of count-min-sketch approximations similar to TinyLFU, as well as a few value slots, and uses a bucket local counter reset mechanism. It should run very fast due to minimal contention, but the open question is what negative impacts a bucket local reset might have. My response to this is simple and conservative: I'm oversizing the count-min-sketch vectors and counters slightly for some breathing room.

My point was rather that there’s probably a variety of things you do in daily life that have exactly that effect, but nobody is excited about those.

Probably because cheese is tasty and random chemicals in the air aren’t.
The part that was left out is the fact that conjugating is the group action of a group on itself.

in his example, let's say there's some 3-cycle (123) the cuber knows. But really, the cuber wants to transform like (479).

Conjugation being equivalent to a group action implies the cuber only needs to find a group that permutes 1->4, 2->7, 3->9.

Let's say one is found: (14)(27)(39)...

gTg' => [(14)(27)(39)...](123)[(14)(27)(39)...]' = (479)
In that case, since the ship sailed to China not form China, I find it surprising that the ship arrived full in China. I thought China exports dwarf their imports, and there would have been plenty of times a ship returns below full capacity to China.

I wonder what were they importing on that ship.

Nope. But I'm also not the one claiming a new model I've invented will work and should replace the current system. Your claim would be more convincing if you could point to an existing business or platform that uses the linear payout successfully.
That's about right, as it's only for searing steak for me. Other pans simply work better for everything else, either stainless or non-stick.

Ask HN: Have a code performance-oriented interview Monday. Tips?
I have an interview on Monday, which, according to some advice from previous interviewees and the recruiter, will involve taking some existing Python code and some existing SQL code, and then use libraries like numpy and pandas to 'improve the performance' (for the Python section) and probably just standard SQL performance questions for the SQL part.

I mostly use the libraries in their desired manner and so not sure if it will be like a "terrible performance pandas code" and then try to locate how it is mis-using the APIs, or if it is just plain vanilla python code and then figuring out how to improve it with the library APIs.

For now I am pretty focused on preparing for the Python aspect.

I have a pretty workable understanding of vectorization, but are there any other things of note that you would want a candidate to know specifically in terms of improving the performance of running code in the context of these specific tools in the toolbelt?

What would you make sure to cover if you were the interviewer, asking a candidate to demonstrate understanding of these libraries in the context of writing performance-oriented code?

It’s so far still a small number of people making language models. We could as a community come up with some etiquette for this and potentially expect compliance at least from the big players. There is a difference between “technically impossible” and “agreed upon standard”.

>The main driver deterring PG&E from seeking a 20-year operating licence extension is the 2015 renewable portfolio standard (RPS) of producing 50% of its electricity from qualified renewable energy sources by 2030. PG&E’s model for the future cost of operating Diablo Canyon indicated that the cost per kilowatt hour was going to almost double, since the company would be forced to lower the amount of power it could produce from the plant in order to meet the state’s requirement. Dropping the capacity factor from the current 92% to say 50% would virtually double the price per kilowatt hour since costs are largely fixed.

>The state law which effectively dictates that by 2030 Diablo Canyon should operate at lower capacity each year and buy in power from intermittent renewables has apparently sealed the fate of the plant.
I just checked with my (Japanese) wife, and she agrees that “kissa” on its own isn’t really used. I hear “junkissa” though (純喫茶) … old-style cafes.

I don’t think calling the book “kissa” is a bad idea in any way, though. One thing I’ve learned about Japanese is that it’s under constant change (more so than English) and it’s easy to imagine “kissa” becoming more common over time.
Alooong time ago before this kind of same station exit fee existed, it was very widely know among teenagers that you could buy a ticket with the lowest amount required so that you could exit the station and so what would happen would a bunch of teenagers would buy cheap tickets and then do all kinds of money saving maneuvers such as tail gating their friend or a stranger through the exit gate while holding their ticket in their hand just above the machine etc, so that they did not consume any fare at the far side yet still had a ticket visible and weren't jumping over the gate. It was super widely know and many kids would tour the whole bay area for super cheap on weekends if they had nothing better to do.

I'm just saying this is why they came up with that fee.

Obviously any adult with a real job wouldn't stoop to such antics.
If I understand the core underlying issue (as opposed to downstream result) is a currency that lost majority of its value through volatility.

Who can look me in the eye with a straight face and say bitcoin protects against volatility? That bitcoin "protects exactly" against mismanaged economy and corrupt government?

It's become my mantra but I swear people on HN don't understand how crappy life can get, how oppressive governments can get, how many rights and things we take for granted can be taken away by thugs, and believe a super high tech complicated software stack can magically fix it. sorry if that sounds harsh, but you know what, it is also harsh to listen to hungry angry oppressed people and constantly claim "bitcoin can fix that for ya".
It seems that many forms of fossil power generation are very impacted by climate change. I wonder what the French will do if water shortages prevent them using many nuclear plants.
When I cook with my cast iron, I wash it by hand using regular dishwashing soap and a non-scratching sponge. Dry it and then coat with a bit of oil before storing it away. Easier than caring for my SS where from time to time I need to use Barkeeper’s Friend to bring it back to its original looks.
> Also, in Python integers do not overflow, unlike in Rust, C and other buggy languages.

There is no such thing as a buggy language. Software can be buggy (or language implementation), but not the language. And the reason you do not have integer overflow is because integers are implemented as integer objects of arbitrary size, which is great if you're doing something quick and dirty, but could be disastrous for a serious work.

Ask HN: Use two fingers to move the map”
Maybe it's just me, but I find "use two fingers to move the map" troubling.

1) it means they know what you wanted to do

2) it means they want you to do it their way more than invest in helping you do what you want to do

3) you also "use two fingers" (pinch or spread) to adjust zoom

Is this.. an anti pattern?

Isn't that about when typical EV battery lifespan is meant to expire (10-20 years, but only warrantied for ~8), so it's due a replacement? Did they take that into account? I know battery recycling schemes exist, just not sure how it stacks up.

There's no media coverage on this case because we don't have a proper press thanks to the ACCC, but it's a ridiculous case on the face of it. I use location data covertly stolen from users who've installed various apps at work (we don't do anything nefarious with it but there's no reason someone couldn't). The ACCC doesn't care about privacy or consumer protections unless it involves big tech, as anyone familiar with its history can attest.

You seem to really not want people to confuse DID with schizophrenia, but why? Because DID suffers are innocent victims who deserve sympathy for their trauma while schizophrenics are just born mental and don't deserve such good treatment?

You remind me of those people who get angry about type 1 and 2 diabetes. One is the sufferer's own fault and the other is innocent people who deserve to be seen as higher status.
