Why on earth should blue collar workers pay federal income tax so graduates can better afford their insane NYC or Bay Area rent?

One similar example would be people without kids still having their taxes go towards funding public education.

Because we want to prioritize overall education across the country.

You could argue one reason loans have become so prevalent is a failure of the government to properly subsidize and provide for higher levels of education for citizens.
His primary goal is to be a good interviewer. He acts as a blank slate so the guest can bounce whatever their thing is they have to talk about off him.

But even so, I wouldn't say he never challenges people, especially if it's something he actually does have a strong opinion on, like MMA and fitness stuff. There's a (in?)famous episode where he interviewed Adam Ruins Everything and they had a pretty big debate over some of Adam's assertions, like the idea that alpha males don't exist, or that men only seem to be better at sports because the sport was designed for them to be better at it.

No, it's not only conservatives who are criticized. You just notice it when they are. Your brain has a finite capacity for keeping score on this kind of stuff; this is one of the tricks it plays on you to keep you from being anxious about that.
> At some point just being "dumb" and listening to every rando person makes you susceptible to / a target of a bunch of horrible randos with bad ideas ... An open approach is admirable, but not learning along the way is not.

I don't know what show you're listening to. I'm not a regular listener, by any means, but I hear Rogan routinely bring up things that he learns from other/prior guests. Often to challenge whatever he's hearing in the moment.

It really feels to me that people are just looking for reasons to attack him because he "platforms" voices they don't like. That was fine when he was just a comedian with a podcast, but now he has An Audience (tm), so it's Bad.

Rogan has certainly had some cranks on his show (IMO), but I'm comfortable enough with my intellect that I can listen to these (or not) without having my brain turned to mush.
What would be better if basic stuff like this was part of our public education system. We need the equivalent of "shop" class but for basic medical needs. Wilderness First Aid would be a good start

I think your perspective is really sharp and hits the important points. I think you might be right but I also think we are witnessing a sort of merger between an internet history and physical history. It’s playing out in a lot of ways but mostly through the impact of social media on civil discourse. We are watching technology collide with the real world.

It just feels to me like the internet has arrived in a way that can best be expressed in an Adam Curtis documentary.
I think CRTs let your brain do some antialiasing so free details. I have some old 600mb divx rips that still look pretty damn good when viewed on a CRT.
The problem is that you need to prove intent. That's hard to do when pool covers are a thing (for non-tax evasion purposes), and it's not entirely implausible for you to buy a non-blue pool cover. Same applies to other countermeasures, like using different colored tiles so the pool doesn't show up as blue. Did the accused do it to evade taxes, or did he do it because he didn't like the color blue? Good luck convincing a court of that beyond reasonable doubt.
> Not sure if this is what you're pointing at, but I feel similarly about those who very much enjoy talking about new and different ideas/ perspectives, but are loathe to test out, live out, and integrate new and challenging ideas into their belief systems.

This sounds very much like philosophy. In general, readers of philosophy enjoy looking at many frames without privileging any particular one.
I dropped Amazon (again) a while back. I'd gone back to using them during the plague, and got lazy. What jolted me back was multiple delivery failures in a row followed by a shitty "give me my money back" experience.

Right now, Amazon combines the honesty of flea markets with the reliability of a stoned teenager.

I'm back to shopping at physical stores, and am enjoying it, at least at the moment. And when ordering things, I try to go direct or find retailers who care about their reputations.

Downvotes don't feel much different to me than they did in the beginning, but HN is definitely much busier now, and voting can only ever be probabilistically accurate, so you're much more apt to see a janky vote now than you were in 2009. Give it time; the votes usually even out.

I'd think there would be so much coordination and onboarding overhead that it wouldn't be worthwhile unless it was so specialized/unique that your own staff doesn't understand it--and then why are you using software you don't understand and can't maintain.

Where I've had the most experience with using consultants and agencies for short-term/part-time are things like the following:
-- You have a specific problem related to, say, ball bearing design and you really need to consult with an expert specialist.
-- You need a speaker for an event and want a name of some sort
-- You need a discrete project that you could probably do in-house but an agency specializes in that sort of thing
-- You need a fractional share of some specialty (e.g. public relations)

This is basically happening and is definately easier than space based solar. Morocco doesn't have much fossil fuels, so they're wanting to roll out renewables. They also connect to the European grid already and Spain connects to France so I'd guess in Winter there will be some movement of power in a northerly direction.

Currently I think the power mostly flows in Morocco's direction.

There's at least one british team looking to directly link the Moroccon power to the UK via sea-cables, skipping Spain/France.

At the other end of the Mediterreanean I think Cyprus and Isreal are linking up power giving another European grid entry point.

Twitch is an arm of Amazon, which is maybe "consumer-focused" but hard to argue that it isn't a usual SV tech giant or it isn't a "monopolistic monstrosity finding new and creative ways to steal your info".

Sure, it was an acquisition, but so was YouTube. Since acquisition it has gained near monopoly power over the streaming industry, defeating both Mixer (which was an independent startup, similarly acquired by big tech, and then spun down) and now Facebook Gaming. This doesn't seem healthy for gaming to me to have only one provider left standing for game streaming.
You are not arguing against his point though, you are shifting it.
His point is that it has been paid and you are saying the same thing. His argument is not about who paid the bill (if it was you or the bank) the argument is that it was paid and you seem to agree with that I think?

€ A different way of putting it is to imagine you had 0$ and a job that pays you in two weeks. Now you cannot take any credit since that means the bank pays for you (so the money comes first then the work).
What do you do now to survive two weeks? The answer is that you need money to be able to work, not the other way around.

It's interesting that you basically just made Andrew Yang's argument for Universal Basic Income -- that we need to redistribute the wealth of automation to all of society.

This is the perfect example -- with a UBI the apprentice no longer needs to get paid to learn. They can live off of the UBI while learning, until they are good enough to charge for their services.

There's a term for this in marketing. It's called cashing out brand equity. You take a hit to your rep, but you get some liquidity out of the brand by cutting corners on your product/service. Venture capital firms are infamous for using this as a business model. They take over a company that is struggling and they cash out the brand equity and every other kind of equity until nothing is left.
Sorry if this is obvious, but it's $250k for what percentage?

I have something that might be the type of startup (integrating AI into algonfts.art) except it's not a very popular niche and probably wouldn't make back the $250K. Although that reality doesn't seem to stop most people.

As with the rapid evolution of AI txt2image tools, the notable stories, milestones, data points, are coming too quickly to keep up with.

Jackson has its own specific problems, and they aren't drought-specific as others noted ITT;

but the story is nonetheless a useful addition to the growing list of examples of where our institutional and structural response to ecological and climatological challengs is grotesquely inadequate.

As in Kim Stanley Robinson's fantasies, hope seems to lie in something which today seems as unlikely as our current headlines did a few years ago: an intervention of some kind which puts actual decision-making power in the hands of policy makers and scientists who understand what is happening and the scale of response required to ride it out as a civilization.
I think, the suggestion to use irregular pool shapes with non-blue painting (mentioned somewhere else) would fare better, but only slightly.

Radar satellite imagery like the one coming from Sentinel can see surface water (like seen in all the orbit shots of the flooding areas), so could be used as an even better source of information to find even partially obscured or "misshaped" pools.

Plus, with the tarps you can't use the pool anymore. After all, it's not like you can see the satellites passing overhead
Theoretically the safer you are the riskier you behave. Then if you’re in a car meeting a cyclist, you will have a propensity for road rage because you’re in no danger of a fatal collision, you’re shielded from attacks, and you can speed off and end the conflict at a moment’s notice. You have an egotistical feeling of power in your car because it’s true, you have the power. Roll the numbers a few hundred times for every car you see on a typical trip, and you’ll be accosted every time you take your bike out the door.

A bicyclist’s life is not always worth much. It is common in NYC for a bicyclist to be killed by an SUV or truck, it happens on average every other week. It is just as common for the driver to walk away without so much as a ticket, because the bicyclist will have been found to have violated a minor traffic regulation, nullifying the driver’s culpability. A sad state of affairs that leaves bicycling for only the daredevils in most American cities.

What it can't do on iOS is to create regular Backups (which it can on Android).

I think it has something to do that Signal won't trust iCloud as Backup target.
Part of the point of having a moderator is to give the community a mechanism to make quick determinations and to keep tendentious meta-debates out of the main threads (meta-stories like this being an obvious exception). If you want to debate the moderators, mail hn@ycombinator.com.
NGL, I did find MV3 harder to implement against. Not because of the declarative model alone, but because the declarative model's rules are under-documented.

Can you replace an image URL fetched remotely with an image stored in the extension itself (via rewriting the URL from a remote fetch to a file fetch)? Maybe? No, because redirection from remote URLs to file URLs trips the resource fetch security model independent of anything else, except a developer has no reason to believe that security model applies also to extensions?

Testing against the declarative model feels very wild west and since it isn't just JavaScript, I can't just slap the debugger on it and introspect all the data going back and forth.

I don't know about Google, but where I work we have essentially one single technical line and people are expected to contribute to both development and making architectural decisions (and operations, etc, etc). Obviously, higher ranked staff are expected to make more architectural decisions vs. development, but it is a gradual growth process, and there are no positional distinctions.

Was there really an apprentice level for digital artists before AI models? I know somebody who does a lot of digital art as a hobby. They have spent years and years working on stuff for their own enjoyment, and to hear them tell it they're only now reaching the point of marketability.

What's the market for mediocre art today? I long ago worked on tech for magazines, which would sometimes use adequate commissioned art to jazz things up. But that was before the rise of vast stock art collections that were instantly accessible. Looking at some popular web-based magazines, it seems like the still commission the occasional original illustration, but that it's mainly stock photos or photo-composite illustrations.
By indigenous I am referring to before the british colonial era. Reckoning deals with mindset and history, it is an understanding of how to come to terms with all that has passed and what is happening now. You do not need to revive old institutions, but neither does a people need to be effacing their own culture, self-awareness, and history (which has already occurred) and feel inferior.

The way land ownership was stratified, martial races, playing off of groups of ethnicities and religions, how one humbly starts writing a letter, the present arrangement of nations in the Subcontinent, feudal land ownership, government structures into parliaments, these are all examples of colonial legacy that affect the present day. The challenge is for people and societies to find a way through all these; integrating some, discarding some, fusing some, ignoring some, embracing some, etc.

In some ways, there have been successes, in other ways, the legacy of being submissive to Western foreign powers remains. It is for charting a path as a traumatized people.

True, but "a three-dimensional torus" is a doughnut.
Civilization (the topic at hand) is temporal, but even if it was whatever it is you think the afterlife looks like, then both “and history proves we can't” and independently “by His grace” would be sufficient to show that particular set rules are not, in fact, sufficient.

(That grace thing though, it’s not even vaguely coherent as an argument for you. It is a “get out of jail free card”: anything which could do what you’re trying to argue divine Grace could do would obviate any need for Jesus, or the thing with Moses on the mountain, or the flood, or departure from the garden of Eden, and the existence of asexuals is a demonstration that the whole spiel from Jesus about “looking at a woman with lust is adultery” could just have been avoided by design).

Also, neither Jews nor Muslims regard Jesus as the son of God — the former regard Jesus as, IIRC, “that heretic”; and the latter, IIRC, as the second of the three prophets.

As a side note: I was slightly amused to realise that according to the Bible, “Then he [Jesus] ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.” But hey, reading the NT is why I stopped being Christian.

> They are not my rules.

That’s nit picking, my use of that sentence is entirely valid regardless of who came up with the things.

Which version of the ten do you follow? The first commandment as given in Exodus (as compared to the slightly different phrasing later, but Exodus says this version is literally the word of God) is vague enough to allow polytheism just so long as “I who rescued you from slavery in Egypt” is put at the head of the table.

Of course, you don’t have to take the book literally — most Christians don’t (but then, parable of the sower), and some even consider literal interpretations to be blasphemous.
Being a researcher in social sciences, one thing that puzzles me of medicine is that a single timepoint analysis leads to major decisions. I understand you perform analyses every 1-2 months, is there data indicating that the sweet spot for maximising information from testing is there?
> Any organization where the developers are also the architects are just flying by the seat of their pants and again, aren’t doing anything at scale (yet?).

How did you reach this conclusion? Both Amazon and Google don't structure their software engineering teams around an 'Architect' title.

I also searched the Google Carrera page for Architect positions and the great majority of them are customer facing roles with very few Architect positions assigned to specialized fields.
Throughout reading this whole article, I just couldn't shake the feeling that the question is much more broadly applicable than this. The article works exactly the same down to the small details for so many groups.

gay people

Why do some people have so much hate for people who aren't causing them any harm and are just trying to exist in the world?

> "People can behave aggressively towards cyclists because they see them as dehumanised"

Yeah, if that isn't the problem right there in a nutshell I don't know what is.

And holy smokes, just like for all the other groups, the proposed solution is for victim to dress differently so they don't stand out. What about a movement to eradicate the cult of dehumanization? Where's that program?

As someone who lived in the country during both the beginning of the PC revolution as well as the start of the commercial Internet this really resonates with me.

I remember paying an obscene amount of money to access dialup Internet which was always a long distance call. I lobbied AT&T for an ISDN line and literally was laughed at by the tech who said it would be 25 years before they'd install it.

Two years later I got cable Internet at a whopping speed of 5 mb and it opened up the entire world to me. People in Lansing and Grand Rapids only had the option of buying their own T-1 if they wanted broadband at the time.

I tried to convince the city fathers of the small town I lived in to invest a little in an empty storefront and build out offices for startups with broadband as the lure. I told them they should exploit the small window that existed before everyone in the state had broadband. Sadly they looked at me like I was absolutely stark raving mad.
