It is not complex per se, but it is unnecessarily confusing.

For instance, Japanese い (i) is similar in pronunciation to the letter 'i' in various Germanic languages (e.g. Dutch, German, Swedish). The romaji reflects this similarity.

Enter Wanikani's (Tofugu's) explanation:

> い is pronounced like the ee in "eel." To remember this kana, just think of a couple of eels hanging out.

Like I mentioned, this is probably useful for L1 English speakers, but it is not worth having to go from Dutch 'i' to English 'eel' in order to finally go to Japanese い (i).
I'm starting to have flashbacks to Griddy and the $9,000/MWh wholesale pricing I had to dance around in Feb 2021. The novelty of accounting for small appliance usage in dollars per hour wore off pretty quickly for me.

I was able to get my sustained electricity consumption under ~800w (including central furnace blower) after some extreme compromises. Only had to pay about a thousand dollars for that incident. I know of people on Griddy who had 5 figure bills that month.

In retrospect, I think variable rates are the ultimate solution to these problems. I am not usually very price sensitive, but $9/KWh is a monster rate if you aren't paying attention. I was forced to adjust my behavior to accommodate the available supply.

For better or worse, we still can't store electricity at scale in most markets, so forcing the consumer behavior may be the next best option.
I've noticed that the good subs tend to feature least two of the following traits (or at least minimum overall parameters): active moderation with a clear focus, a relatively low population, and topics that are inherently less motivating to psyops in the first place.

/r/askhistorian's population is fairly high in absolute terms, so they make up for it with scorched earth tactics and a specific culture that has evolved over the years. And while it's true that history is juicily controversial, marketers and trolls have opportunity costs to take into account, so they largely stay away from such a tight environment.

The problem you mentioned about steering bias is not in fact solvable. By definition, just having the site be in English and its audience be anglophone already dooms it to hopeless levels of bias. But the fact that the sub is attractive to a wide range of actual historians providing quality content means that they've more or less achieved what could be realistically achieved. 21st century academic culture in the anglosphere is what it is and we can't escape that. We can however cultivate the best version of what it can bring to a lay audience.

If this compromise is not tolerable, the solution is in fact to stop using the platform altogether.

The attributes between the universe and The Creator would need to be differentiated.

In other words, the properties of that which is uncreated would need to be defined so they can be distinguished from something that is created. These properties have to be understood and accepted as an exclusive set that cannot be "distributed" or "shared" among other beings; in order to dispel the notion that there can be multiple uncreated beings or beings that are created that share attributes with The Creator.
>Why has natural gas become more expensive when it has not become more expensive to produce?

Price is a function of supply and demand. Supply was massively reduced by sanctions and war, so price goes up, simple as that.

>This is price gouging.

If electricity producers had enough pricing power to set the price to whatever they wanted without competition they'd already have done so years ago. Again, price is a function of supply and demand, cost of production is only one component.

Hardwood floor installation is sped by flooring staplers. Though the real time saver has been carpet, linoleum and lately vinyl plank.

Trim is largely installed with finish nailers.

Siding and roofing nailers exist and are ubiquitous in those tasks.

Drywall itself is a time saving innovation over lathe and plaster.

Equipment installation though, generally hasn't gotten much faster and people want more of it to boot.

I can describe to you something you've never seen and have no idea about, yet you'll be able to imagine it and reason about it from my description alone.

It's a uniquely human trait among all life forms we're aware of.
From what I've read, in Spain there was for a long time (may still be?) pretty effective/expensive legislation against installing solar panels anywhere. Reason? Regulatory capture, with energy companies lobbying hard against anything that might weaken their position or profiteering opportunities.

Ask HN: Are those who live in UTC+7 to UTC+10 hard to get any remote works?
Hi, I live in Indonesia (UTC+7), this is just something I am thinking (feeling) currently, is getting remote US works/contracts/jobs in these timezones hard (harder)? Especially when looking at some remote works, you either have to be in US, EU, or some non Asian countries. And if there are any, well, admittedly, the job may not fit with my rates.

What are some obstacles that prospect employers face when they can't hire someone from these timezones?

That assumes the company is actually doing that kind of analysis on rejected resumes, or even less likely has a human with judgment reading them all. If you believe (as I do) that tech hiring, at least the initial filter/funnel, is largely an automation-driven random-chance numbers game, then it would be better to give yourself a 1,000/11,000 chance than a 1/10,001 chance.

I'm not sure I yet believe in the "networking and personal connections" mysticism. I feel I wasted a lot of time in my life going to networking events and having networking conversations, and after all those theatrics, when it came time to get a job through this network, the response is often "Cool! Here's the hiring web page--get in the funnel and slug it out." You hear myths about people using their powerful network to bypass the normal interview hazing pipeline, but it's hard to find more than anecdotal examples.
I was starting to wonder the same. Are prices essentially going up, filling state coffers, so that politicians can promise subsidies to voters? What a weird way to make cash flow.
There are regular train/truck transports with much more dangerous and volatile chemicals than lithium.
the current crisis, for most european countries, is totally due to the failure of the EU energy market. The electiricy prices are set by the highest generator, which currently is natural gas. So , eventhough southern countries use less than 20-15% gas, their prices soar because they are determined by gas.

Spain and portugal are the only countries which managed to get an exception to offset this mechanism months ago, by effectively capping the gas prices and not allowing it to go bonkers.

The rest of the EU should explain itself to its citizens. These levels of prices do not represent the cost of energy but the stupid continuation of a supposedly free market in time of war.

HN moderation will [dead] the content. Different mechanics, but same effect - basically kills its distribution.

Of course, there are valid questions about prevalence of that, and there’s likely a point where moderation becomes publishing. But if that point was mere existence of moderation, every single platform is a publisher.
The US government also actually tends to do a bad job* about things like this (i.e. evacuating citizen’s from foreign countries). So you have to pay the taxes but probably can’t count on the government to help. Now, I actually think all US citizens should pay their taxes, but it should be far more fair and reasonable than it currently is (we are basically just creating massive PITA for people while probably not catching offshore millionaires/billionaires.) The fact that you are forced to pay taxes but then will have to try to hitch a ride out of the country with Canada is unacceptable.

"Good" is a bit tricky to define, but I take your meaning broadly.

I think maybe the biggest obstacle to getting anything productive done in society is that we seem (in an almost fractal way, from like a nation-wide election down to an HN comment section) just so fucking committed to pretending that mechanism design doesn't work. It absolutely, 100% does. People as individuals, organizations composed of individuals, fucking viruses, the whole show: these things respond to incentives. Even the "higher" stuff is easily modeled as slightly more abstract incentives.

These 2022 S&P 500 corporations are stupidly, absurdly, Ronald Reagan-spontaneous-hard-on "good" at cranking "shareholder value". Which is precisely the job we've set them and the executives tasked with running them. They're doing their job.

That goal happens to align only coincidentally and peripherally with a more abstract goal I like a lot better: something like "the broader social good".

Yes, my comment doesn't assume a uniform sample.

In fact, it's predicated on there being a substantial filter applied to legal immigrants, such that they are highly successful in their destination country.

The performance gap between legal immigrants and natives is sizable, implying that marginal extra immigrants from loosening this filter would still outperform natives.

And the marginal extra immigrant outperforming the median native means that claims of a global meritocracy are farcical.

> while touting their support for (limited) immigration of high skilled, well-heeled immigrants as evidence of that they aren’t simply against foreigners.

As mentioned, your comment isn't too related to my point. But to follow the tangent: This perspective seems like a consistent and defensible worldview? Wanting a Canada-like system that prioritizes economically-productive immigration is absolutely evidence against a bias against foreigners per se.

(I don't share this worldview. I think borders are something close to a crime against humanity. But I'm aware that mine is a radical position. The anti-immigrant boogeyman you describe sounds like a fairly logical extrapolation of a general belief in borders)
The evidence points to the contrary, you acquire a language as an adult faster than a child can. This is because you have more complex mental faculties available, and can have complex topics explained as analogies to a language you know.

As others have pointed out, ESL learners ask questions about English articles all the time, and it helps them understand how the language works faster than if they had to brute-force the patterns.

There is no "natural" way to learn, there's just ways that work and ways that don't. The fastest way to learn a language is by having comprehensible input, and more input becomes comprehensible with directed, structured study.

I used to think similarly about various "laws" but if you think about it for a moment, laws in what I suspect is their oldest usage refer to governance from a society laws. Those laws aren't immutable even though we pretend they are, they flex quite often. In some countries like the US they're designed to be inherently mutable. Laws can change, drop, be invalidated and so on. So it's not too inaccurate to call fairly solid theories that seem to behave in a stable manner as a law because laws are by no means absolute, either.

It was clear not long after Moore's law that it likely wouldn't continue indefinitely unless we could work at the quantum scale somehow, there was no path for scaling beyond that. We could extend that to Planck scale if we wanted to reach absolute limits of understanding but you can only double density so many times unless we don't understand space and matter that well.

There's one market for grid delivered electricity because within the grid, electricity is mostly fungible. There's details of course, but if I need X kW @ 240VAC to run my house, business, or factory, my equipment doesn't care if it's from wind, solar, nuclear, or lemon batteries, as long as it's within the specifications, well synchronized and continuous.

There's some amount of market preference for different generation types, but that's a small portion of the load, so it's handled outside of the grid operation marketplace. It's also true that grids with limited interconnection have separate markets.

You could run a grid on a cost plus basis, but you lose the benefits of market economics as well as the negatives.
wouldn't Moore's Lore rhyme a bit better
No, the EU wholesale market uses a marginal price, that does not reflect the cost of generation (supply), but the highest cost available at any moment sets the price for everyone (at least as far as i understand). It s a free market but prices are set by a very inflexible rule.

Great. Raising awareness.

At the end of the day, it's open source, so, a dice roll away from a toxic crapshow, because it's just people doing people stuff. The reality is that commercial entities built empires on this stuff without contributing back and are content to continue to look the other way and pretend this is acceptable, and so open source projects remain as amateur endeavors. At this point, the pragmatist probably stops and asks whether the help channel fulfils its core purpose of dispensing help to those who seek it.

Anyway, maybe you should advocate for a code of conduct for the project?

If that were true the price difference would be quickly arbitraged away by energy traders. They would buy this "cheap" energy you speak of and sell it at the "inflated" market price, thus converging them to the same price. And yes, they would find a way to bypass the "mandatory fake price".

Bytes are relevant when I have to allocate memory otherwise some definition of "character" is often more relevant. Even if I trim text to fit in a buffer I don't want to trim inside a "character" but get the most number of fitting "characters" Now "characters" are of course complicated as grapheme clusters are what is useful the most for human interaction ... but those are quite out of scope for a "simple" string library ...

> Economics is about explaining things after the fact, and incapable of prediction.

I would expand on this a bit.

The problem with economics is that it's the study of a type 2 chaotic system, where predictions about the system themselves feedback into the system and change the outcome. Contrasted with a type 1 chaotic system, like weather, where predictions are extremely difficult but can be made without affecting the outcome. Economics is chaotic because conscious actors are extremely unpredictable and change their behavior based on new information.

This is something you have to bear in mind whenever you hear an economist or government official make a prediction. The very act of making the prediction public often becomes a self defeating prophecy, because masses of people and money make changes to their future behavior based on the prediction. Also called the Prophet's Dilemma, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-defeating_prophecy. A close relative of the Preparedness Paradox, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preparedness_paradox

This is why some of the best predictions are never made public. The best traders don't sell you their strategy. Because as soon as their prediction mechanism becomes too public, it gets absorbed into the system and arbitraged away to worthlessness. That's also why you always must take what government officials say with a grain of salt. They're often not telling you what they really think is going to happen. They're telling you what they think is going to motivate the population to behave in the most productive way given the current environment.

Making economic predictions is a grand game of "I know that you know that I know that you know". It's a game of mass manipulation rather than a technical pursuit of simple measurement.

It's an art, not a science.

I think we had metaphors before that?
In idealized concept, all participants must be free to buy and sell their goods and services to all other participants. A market where buyers can only buy from certain sellers or sellers can only sell to certain buyers isn't free regardless of whether the constraints are government mandated or privately decided. For example, if the owners of all the food production refused (on their own accord) to sell to certain groups because of their ethnicity, that wouldn't be a free market. Also in the vast majority of cases, the employee has much less negotiating power than the employer. So 'voluntarily ' here has the same meaning as voluntarily giving your wallet to mugger pointing a gun at you. In this analogy the gun is potential homelessness and starvation.

Medievalist movements in England, Germany and Japan, among other places, were the window dressing of racist, nationalist political movements in those countries.

They called to mind a simpler time when the Folk were pure of heart and blood, the elites had a natural right to rule, and everybody knew their place. They justified the sentiment that We are pure and blessed by the gods, while They are mongrels fit only to be slaves.

The United States is too young to indulge in medievalist fantasies, but Southern minstrel shows were directly influenced by the fad for medieval minstrel shows in England, and were conceived specifically as a native American alternative.

Minstrel shows served the same political purpose in America, presenting a vision of an idealized archaic South where the established social hierarchies, including those of master and slave, were presented as natural, fitting and just.
