The problem is the huge role government has had in this, which means regular market mechanisms won't work for a while.

1. The Western governments have spent a decade demonizing fossil and nuclear energy. For that whole time, big funds have divested, and investors punished. No major fund is going to touch this sector, especially not if the intent is a capital project. Nuclear is just seeing a turnaround as some governments regain their rationality (e.g. Japan), but others seem to be utterly hopeless (Canada, Germany).

2. The above means that schools stopped offering the programs necessary to train the workers for the industry. There is an entire generational gap now in oil and gas trades, from the roughneck to the engineers.

3. The government's incompetence has caused rampant inflation which, affects these industries too. Suddenly you have to deal with the labour shortage, there being no raw inputs (the year supply of anything from pipe to mud was sold out in most markets by Q1 of '22), and you have no idea what great ideas government will pass by next quarter so you have to price high to build a buffer. All of this leads to huge uncertainty.

The worst part in my eyes, is that we're only really seeing the beginning of this. Governments are still on their ESG-above-reality stance. Approval from their UN SDG and WEF cronies is still more important than their constituents well-being.

I honestly feel for the Europeans that saw this coming and voted accordingly - but more for the Africans and Asians who will be bid out by Europe and be faced with starvation of freezing. They had no say in this and they will pay the steepest price for Europe's ESG hubris.

One of the most common ways to do that in Finnish is talking about how "One (did something) and the other (did something else)"... With the only tiny little problem being that the Finnish for both "one" and "the other", in this context, is "toinen"!
Put solar panels on your roof and contact your energy company so they can be hooked up to provide power onto the grid and give you energy credits. Not every area allows this but from what I understand some folks make money in the summer and then that offsets the costs they spend pulling power from the grid in the winter.

You really need to do a lot of research to figure out if it's feasible and if you have enough sunlight, area for panels, etc. to make it worthwhile. There's a lot of upfront costs too with the panels, meters, and extra protections necessary for when you're interfacing with sending power onto the grid--a lot of folks need to run their system for 5-10 years or more before it breaks even and starts making them money vs. all the initial costs.
Turkish prisons are famous for abuses: https://stockholmcf.org/gross-human-rights-violations-contin...

Better example would be Norway or Netherlands: more expensive prisons, but least prisoners per capita: https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2014/04/the_netherlands_has_ex...

The point of prison system should be rehabilitation not keeping prisoners down for life.

Cool to see this here and people talking about it. I volunteered with the American Chestnut Foundation during my summers in high school. Usually spent a few weeks on the Meadowview research farm collecting catkins off trees, “processing” the catkins to bottle the pollen, bagging trees to prevent uncontrolled cross pollination, and pollinating trees by hand.

My uncle and I also usually took hikes in NC to try and find remaining trees with pollen in the wild. From what I understand, the pollen from these few remaining living trees is used to help re-introduce regional biodiversity into the backcrossed American/Chinese hybrids.

Highly recommend going and helping out on the farm if you can spare a week or two, or joining your state chapter if you’ve got one - or sending your kids!
Ask HN: I am looking for a reply to me and can't find it
I have a serious medical condition and have noticed that when I do stuff, two days later is MUCH harder on me than the day after. And at some point someone on HN said something to me along the lines of "Oh, yeah, runners all know that two days after a hard run is much worse than the day after."

I don't know if it was under this handle or under my old handle of Mz. I've been searching for terms like "48 hours" and "two days" and this handle and finding nothing but outrage fuel that I have no desire to continue wallowing in.

If you got nothing better to do, you can consider this to be your good deed for the day.

Please and thank you. (Yes, I'm in a bad mood. I feel awful today and it's part of WHY I am looking for this old comment.)
Exactly, why should you replace your roof to save the planet?? Screw the planet.
Marx was a political scientist, not an economist. He thought about how greed effects decision making and power corrupts. He was interested in a political revolution because he believed capitalist systems are unable to solve market failures. Economics is generally less interested in the politics of how to implement solutions and more interested in what the optimal solutions are.
It’s relevant because part of the reason that number is so high is recidivism. And part of the reason recidivism is so high is because of policies like these, explicitly designed to make it that way.
Or being put on a prison hulk with up to 30% yearly death rates.

Also at least in Britain the number of capital crimes increased almost exponentially in the late 17th and the 18th centuries. So I’m not sure that’s quite right.

The trouble with Hossenfelder isn't so much that she rejects string theory, lots of people do that. No the problem is that she's pivoted into declaring the entire enterprise of cosmology and particle physics pointless, when she says

"""How about you wait, and we talk again in 10 billion years."""

this is not so much a joke as a thinly disguised a deeply held conviction. There's no need for a secret cabal to explain why someone who clearly thinks the job should not even be done has trouble finding further employment in an extremely harsh job market.
(1) applies to pretty much any kind of historical argument, and historians who emphasize contingency are by no means immune to (2) (I'd say this is a weakness of humanity generally!). (3) is a reasonable argument, but the converse can also apply. I think we should be open to the idea that some historical developments hinge on individual human action, but others don't.

Not sure what I could buy that will heat my home (waiting times on solar panels are measured in months and wind turbines in years), and cash itself doesn't burn that well.

But I also don't see this as being that big a deal. Even if we had to turn off fuel for 2/3rds of the homes, people will just go to a home that can be heated and stay warm together. We'll survive and probably make new friends doing it even if we'd complain the whole time.

Or people learn to heat themselves up instead of the whole room, which uses less than 10% of the energy. We're an inventive species and in Europe we certainly have the means, we just need the motivation.

If the "wrong" side seems malicious and it is clear-cut who is right, the "right" side shouldn't need to abuse debate.

They can go meta and debate the goals first, then use logic to reason what they suggest objectively works. If the "wrong" side is unable to provide equivalent reasoning for their points, then it's obvious?

And if the "right" side is unwilling to go about it systematically and wants to engage in warfare, perhaps that speaks for their confidence in themselves.

There is video, there is evidence. I'm juts wondering why the evidence isn't accumulating many times faster now that everybody has a cell-phone and they have good cameras in them?

They are not the best possible equipment for taking pictures of UFOs, but surely they are much much better than what average person had with them 20 years ago. So that means in my calculation that the quality and quantity evidence should be much better now. So really my question is, is there any evidence that the evidence about UFOs is much better now that it was 20 years ago?
d'oh you're absolutely correct. And it's in the blog infographic.
You have to read this so that when inodes come up at your sysadmin/devops social gathering's scintillating conversation you don't have to run to the bathroom and google it on your phone and try muddle your way through without your face turning red.

(inodes just strike me as one of those weird little things like SQL, except for much smaller/easier to learn--just something critical, always there, and for some reason, not understood by a lot of sysad/devops types. I forgot the detail until rereading this book recently. I imagine you can expect the details to vary widely on modern filesystems, but ext4 (descending from and backwards compatible with ole ext2) probably has the concept, and BSD's ffs/ufs, and the idea probably gives you some hazy idea of this general area of the world for a lot of filesystems

I also find the treatment of some old topics kind of illuminating, like the stty command when I do obscure stuff like use serial terminals or try to use a text buffer as a tty--interesting that you can still tell the kernel "hey, do this dirty hack for my terminal when handling characters and things. Thanks.")

Erm, what? I disproved his point. He claims because us being in this unlikely universe is proof for a design. No, it's a logical fallacy as I outlined in the example of flipping coins. The video presenter is the guy who flipped 10 times heads and claims "See! God made this happen!" Can you please point to the exact time in the video where he mentions multiple tries? That would contradict his own point about the low chance and hence design.

He assumes there was only one "flip of the coin". There is zero reason to assume this and so his whole argument falls because when his assumption does not apply then mathematics tells us there is absolutely nothing special about finding ourselves in that "unlikely" universe because actually when taking a step back it isn't unlikely, it is pretty much guaranteed - completely without anyone designing it that way.
Countless murderous(sic)...go free.

Of course that's just your opinion, with no link to back it up. I tend to follow the information where I see police abuse, the abuse of rights by the courts/prosecutors, etc etc. You want to blow your mind? Follow a guy named Greg Doucette on the bird app. He routinely lists the violations of civil rights by authorities. It might open your mind.
What's baffling to me is the idea that nature manipulates numbers but not irrational ones.

Reminds me of something Karl Popper philosophized about. I'm completely butchering it ofcourse, but it goes along something like this - Every scientific theory is waiting to be falsified by future generations. He concludes that everything in Empirical sciences cannot be proven, but instead they're only falsifiable.
> Maybe universe expands, then contracts again cyclically?

It's possible, but you're going to have to come up with a theory for why whatever 'force' is driving the expansion goes from negative, to positive, and back.
The underlying work you guys have done is great as a proof of concept, and after playing with it for a short while there are some obvious flaws and improvements which basically just come down to user experience.

As it stands, everyone's inputs clash.

The main issue is there's a single mouse pointer and keyboard input that all users control. It's quite chaotic as people scroll, click, select, etc. Provide some mechanism to nominate control authority or vote on interaction and it might be usable.

> Could you elaborate on this? I'm still on the fence about even having independent dotfiles in a separate repo.

I'm not quite sure what specifically you want me to elaborate on, but I'll write about how similar my work and personal computers are.

My USPTO computer is almost entirely independent of my personal computer. I run Linux on my personal computer, and the USPTO computer is Windows. The repository for my tool, plint, is on both my USPTO and personal computers. With that being said, I make all the commits to the GitHub repository on my personal computer.

> If I may ask yet another question: if your tools make you more efficient, does that impact perception of other examiners' "KPI metrics?"

plint doesn't seem to have any effect on how I am perceived or how other examiners are perceived. I've told some examiners about plint. Some don't seem to be interested, others like the idea. I don't know of anyone else using plint on a regular basis.

Also, using a tool like this doesn't necessarily make an examiner more efficient in the KPIs that upper management cares about. The most "efficient" approach would be to ignore 112(b) problems unless they are particularly obvious. In fact, I think that's what the incentives encourage: doing the bare minimum and moving on to the next application. However, a tool like this makes quality examination more efficient. I'd like to do as high quality a job as I can given the absurd time restrictions on my work. USPTO upper management gives a lot of lip service to quality, but quality isn't rewarded like "production" is. (Again, all this is my opinion and I don't speak for anyone else.)

I didn't understand your reference to a state park the first time either, what do you mean by this? Is that the only place you think has EV chargers?

Charge at the supermarket, or the mall or the library or at the gas station, at your friends or at work or wherever works best for you.

It's entirely possible to own an EV and not have access to home charging. It's really nice if you can, because your car is going to be parked there for hours and you can usually get cheap power at night but it's not necessary, and there is no compulsory visites to state parks required.

Economists talk constantly about implementing policy that neutralizes externalities. Carbon tax and LVT are among the most cited policies they want to implement. Economists don't write the laws though, and people generally aren't interested in paying their externalities so it doesn't happen.

A corporate tax rate that increases with revenue would naturally disincentivize such monopolies/oligopolies (by making it easier for small companies to compete against them) without requiring the government micromanagement of deciding what is and what isn't a monopoly.

>> Macro is literally no better than astrology,

Macroeconomics:

"Macroeconomics is a branch of economics that studies how an overall economy—the market or other systems that operate on a large scale—behaves"

Astrology:

"The divination of the supposed influences of the stars and planets on human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions and aspects"

Astrology is irredeemable. If current macroeconomics is no better than astrology, that is an opportunity.

>> Micro can be pretty useful to individuals

This is the crazy part. Micro relies on assumptions that just aren't true. Micro is much closer to astrology than macro. If you build an extensive mathematical framework on top of assumptions that are not just false, but sort of crazy, you've got nothing.
The reason expansion yesterday is plausible if we see expansion is simply that's it's far more plausible nothing so special happened yesterday as to change the motion of the entire universe.

I wonder what percentage are in jail for gun-related crimes. The easy availability of guns is one thing that distinguishes America from other advanced economies.

> A simple way to state the proposition is: in any language there are things you cannot write in the language itself: they have to be supplied by your interpreter (or the compiler generated code which is “interpreted” by the CPU). For example you can’t write OR because if the first case is true the second case is not evaluated — you can’t write that as a function.

This isn't strictly correct. The problem is a function call that always evaluates its arguments on function entry.

However, this is NOT a fundamental axiom. Tcl doesn't do it. John Shutt created a Scheme-like language called Kernel that doesn't do it (see: https://web.wpi.edu/Pubs/ETD/Available/etd-090110-124904/unr...). The very early Lisps all had FEXPRs which didn't do it.

The issue is that you have to be able to also pass around the environment (lexical, dynamic, etc.) in which to evaluate those arguments if you don't evaluate them on entry. If you do that, you can have a consistent language that bootstraps itself with only basic support (see: Kernel). However, it doesn't necessarily optimize well--you're almost working as an interpreter continuously.
