Agreed, I'd even argue that the opposite statement is true. The divide between the top and bottom is wider than ever in the UK.

People grow up in insular little bubbles. Everyone thinks they are the bottom rung on the social ladder. They think "if I'm doing fine then everyone else must be doing much better!" and hand wave away uncomfortable truths. That kind of classism is at the core of British society.

Ironically, I don't think it is always malice, but naivety and rigidity. The monarchy and the nationalist sentiments they have spent decades cultivating have become part of peoples' identity, and it's hard to reason people into changing their identity.
It looks like you cut the preview from 46% of this chapter to just 22% of the chapter...
I went back to look for a quote from about 41% of the way through to explain to another commenter why the style is so effective and ran into the paywall earlier than I had my first time through.
Just FYI, the content before 22% isn't strong enough to sell the preview. It has to get to the questions where you're asking for intuitive guesses on the real mathematical expressions to make it clear how valuable this is.

Honestly, you should just be giving away this whole chapter. If you did then I could forward it to colleagues, let them learn this one concept and suggest they get the rest of the info.

As it is I really can't do that. It'd be like giving a friend a flyer that was shoved under my door.

Fundamentally, yeah sure, it can do whatever it wants. It just doesn't right now.
Hm, dunno. Just tried out zoomed in to 150% and switched it back. I like having more text on the page without scrolling. Esp given how wordy people get get here, and as the nesting grows.

But I guess to each their own.

It's a secret, but I'll tell you if you keep it between the two of us. The secret password is "Leonore" without quotes - so don't do any air quotes when you offer the secret password for most illustrious entrances.

Why's that? (I'm intrigued by this idea.)
Because the employer is not paying a sub-minimum wage—they are guaranteeing the minimum wage and provide the employee to make more than minimum wage. If you force the employer to pay a higher rate as a base, you are forcing them to have a greater expense, which affects the bottom line
Citation required. I have yet to see a single reputable paper or study that describes a 'permanent mental change' for the worse, like psychosis, after a single encounter with psychedelics.
I would argue that it is easier to have it in the app. You get streamlined info and can compare products. Not to mention the super fast barcode scanner you get in the app.

> Otherwise, you can get her signal or snapchat or one of the 4,225 secure messaging ecosystems

And that right there is the real problem. There are a lot of messaging apps, but most of them don't interoperate with each other. So if you want to use the same app for communicating with everyone, you either need to somehow convince everyone to install your app of choice, (and in the case of iMessage buy the same kind of phone) or use SMS/MMS. And by not supporting RCS, Apple is effectively crippling that between iPhones and Android.
I'm not sure that you're correct. In those examples you state, eventually the majority was on side. It seems that the majority is more often "live and let live" than a minority who seek power to suppress.

There's also the issue of plurality: 50% + 1 might vote one way but they represent a plurality of views. Perhaps if we voted on every policy then it would be worse? Seems hard to justify.
> The fact that the immediate response to each rejection was "pivot" I think speaks volumes to the founder's goals here

I would go so far as to say this is validation that YC made the right decision in rejecting them. If even the founder’s dons believe in their own idea, why should YC?
I intentionally have RCS disabled (I actively don't want the features it brings), but I still get the texts from RCS people -- they're just converted into ordinary MMS for me first.
How many well recorded and observed anecdotes are required before it becomes recorded data worthy of being considered a replication of a poorly designed and unreplicated academic study?

A wise move indeed, if Blair's record is to be taken into account.
That's what I was afraid of. Kind of disengenuous to claim it's the size of a RPi, when it's only matches the 2D footprint.

It is impressive they fit 2 RAM slots, 2 NVME slots, 2 Ethernet ports, an HDMI, DisplayPort, and 3 USB slots on that thing. Ridiculous in a way that I like :)
So rent control is better because the legislature won't keep paying attention? That's at least plausibly correct.

If you don't trust the legislature, though, you might not trust them to write the rent control legislation in a way where the cure isn't worse than the disease. But you could argue that they only have to get that right once, whereas the subsidy they have to keep getting right. (Though they could plausibly write an inflation escalator clause into the subsidy legislation...)

I still don't think that I agree with you. But you've made a case that made me think, which is about the highest praise I can give to an HN comment.
Interesting. I've only heard of TeaCrine, and I am pretty into nootropics. There are countless supplements that sound promising and that 'increase dopamine' in some way, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Still I'm really curious about trying these out
I’ve seen this happen once when there was an insider attack from within the IT department involving multiple staff.

Instead of trying to figure out who the bad actors were and who could still be trusted, the directors simply fired everybody in the team.

I was brought in as an outsider on the Friday evening to reverse engineer their passwords and basic network info so that they could continue to operate on Monday morning.
For sure; I have to say, while it was expensive (to the tune of $800-1000 euros for a single night, hence why I only stayed a single night), there is very little more thrilling than staying on a crane that still moves in the wind (giving you a new view every few hours), or skinny dipping in a hot tub on the roof of said crane because you're the only ones staying there, etc.

i'd happily get rid of rent control right after we get rid of prop 13, all the nimby-supported regulations, building codes, and zoning laws, and a whole raft of homeowner and real estate investor subsidies. rent control doesn't dampen new construction, because rent control laws typically exempt newer buildings (like 25-30 years) to allow investors to recoup their investments first.

so you're right, rent control doesn't exist in a vacuum, but exists in response to all the above advantage given to homeowners/investors. let's get rid of those advantages first, then we can unwind rent control.
You're correct, but missing a part of the picture. The cost of adding supply (to meet demand) goes up each year due to the perpetual increase in the building codes which must be conformed to.

The title of this study "No link found between psychedelics and psychosis" should really be that "the authors did not find links between psychedelics and psychosis using their survey method".

These survey methods come with huge uncertainty and lots of pitfalls. I would not be surprised if the result in the paper is not reproducible. In fact, "over half of psychology studies fail reproducibility test"[1]

It is absolutely a term used in telecom related commercial real estate when talking about people who ABSOLUTELY FREAK OUT at the idea of a cellular site monopole going up on a 15'x15' patch of land behind some local gas station or fast food place, ruining the atmosphere of their already extremely aesthetically pleasing strip mall + tract home suburb.

The same people, of course, who have a 5-person verizon or tmobile LTE family plan and spend a huge proportion of their waking life glued to their iphone or android phone.

No, I am. Companies just seem to want their web app backend built on a JS stack, and ask for Node devs.

24% coal, 12% nuclear for Germany.

Hardly a smart choice and one that has been generating huge emissions, especially compared to France.
That's fair in a sense but it also looks like they moved the preview paywall much earlier in the chapter, 22% instead of 46%.

Towards the middle of the chapter they start asking intuitive questions about how coefficients in the power-series map to the real-life concepts they've been discussing "childishly" up until then.

It's a major turning point and I wonder if you just didn't get the opportunity to see that shift. It's infantilizing right up until it isn't.
Oddly enough, Amazon keeps sending me requests to review things I've bought, even after banning me from leaving reviews.
I take your point but I think it's more important to avoid bureaucratese.

The number of comments criticizing moderation in this thread is not because I used the word flamebait. I've used that word thousands of times on HN. Rather, it's a function of my screwing up with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32769925. That happens sometimes—usually when I mis-pre-assess people's feelings.

SMS works for everybody. To use a third party app, I'd have to find out which specific app the person I want to talk to uses, install it, then remember which app goes to who.

SMS just works without all that kerfluffle. And doesn't involve me with yet another service provider, as a bonus.

I am skeptical, this sounds like 'trickle-down economics' where the theory is internally cohesive but the conclusions don't actually line up with reality.

Seems like the page you linked is an anti-trasparency advocacy org, what makes you trust them? Is there any data to back up this assertion?
Thanks. I’ll look into this.
good luck convincing property owners that city is going to build 5000 units every year in their neighborhoods. How does vienna defang homeowners from being toxic and selfish.
> I saw a figurehead. Shaking hands and listening but what did she contribute? Definitely not morals or direction.

But that's her role -- as figurehead. The job is to be a symbol, not a leader. Leading is left to the democratically elected politicians, and for good reason. And it's not the new king's job to sway the PM. It's literally the opposite of his job.

And if you don't think she contributed morals? Her behavior was impeccable. She contributed morals leading by example.

I think the proposal of the Strong Towns organization is among the best I have seen balancing between YIMBY absolutists and NIMBY absolutists.

The problem with NIMBY absolutists is obvious -- it becomes impossible to expand the housing supply in areas that need expansion.

The problem with YIMBY absolutists is also obvious -- it's probably not ideal to build a 30 story condo tower in the middle of a neighborhood of single family homes.

(Though, arguably a 30 story condo tower is better than a housing crisis, but the Strong Towns proposal is geared towards never letting a housing crisis happen in the first place)

The Strong Towns compromise is that it should always be legal to build the next increment of housing stock relative to whatever is the most common in the area. Where the increments are defined something like: single family -> duplex/triplex -> row house -> low rise apartments -> mid rise apartments -> high rise apartments. In a neighborhood with a majority of housing stock at one level, it should always be legal to build the next level.

The idea is that it allows neighborhoods to "thicken up" over a few decades.
What's interesting about this to me is that there's no mention of pornography. In an earlier era porn would have been an issue of highest priority, but I guess the world has accepted that people can view porn without harm. Even the "Protect our kids" section doesn't mention porn.
So if we assume you are correct, if we looked at an adjusted cost of housing graph (adjusted for inflation/population), its slope would change primarily when building code regulation goes into effect?
On the other hand if you have absolutely no zoning laws at all you end up with a sprawling urban agglomeration like metro Houston.
Imo, they bent backwards to deny this development referring to ambiguity and trying to follow the intent. The intent of the law is clearly to build more housing and somehow they decided that this intent excludes one of the main types of residential dwelling in the USA. Seems like a conspiracy to me.

> As originally enacted, the statutory definition provided that “housing development project” meant “a use consisting of either of the following: [¶] (A) Residential units only.
...
> This matters because unless we know the full meaning of “housing development project,” it is difficult to evaluate the parties’ central dispute: whether the plural term “residential units” includes the singular “residential unit.”

This is just bonkers.

No one seriously thinks Scotland will leave soon. The energy is moving to a new settlement of the four nations. That will come in the next ten years. We're fine. Edinburgh got loads of tech energy. Glasgow's a massive city with loads of opportunity. We have a large financial sector that needs geeks. Come. We need you. Lived here thirty years now. No regrets. Weather is improving with climate change (ducks).
I watched a video about a guy in Hawaii who did the "lite" version of this. He could only get the zoning approval for a mansion basically, not the modest house he wanted to build. So he submitted plans for an absolutely massive mansion. Complete with a detached garage with a mother-in-law suite. He even gave it owns HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc. All separate from the house.

He built the mother in law suite, moved in, and the rest of the house has been "under construction" forever.
If the message was actually end-to-end encrypted, Apple wouldn't have the plaintext to give to law enforcement in the first place.

It's not like they're excited they get to help people do better CRM, they're just excited they got in, and (not uniquely) appear to have crafted an optimized offering designed to get into YC, which I don't think is YCs (at least initial) intention nor do I think it's desirable. It's a signal that it's "jumped the shark" and it's time to move on to a new construct
Sure but so do plenty of other companies/industries that happily take subsidies
I think part of it is that the incentives have changed. A lot of people don't see Google as "I've made it" they see it as "great, I can work anywhere I want after this." I think we're starting to see that in YC as well: "I'm in the YC network now." It isn't about the business you get in with, it's that you, as a founder, are now part of the YC network and the opportunities that opens for you as an individual rather than what it means for your business.

My read of the post wasn't that they so desperately needed YC's approval to think that their business could be a success, it's that they just wanted to be in YC.
An immoral authority. She paid no taxes, lived a lifestyle of luxury paid for by her so called subjects, has offshore accounts, no public accountability, etc. Very easy, paid for life. Nothing moral about it.
There’s no such thing as evil.
It therefore has no fundamental traits.

You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks of himself as evil. Everyone is the hero of his own story.

Take “the dread pirate roberts” you know it’s a reference to The Princess Bride right? The hero of The Princess Bride?

Now Ross ram a high drug site on the dark web.
Was Ross evil? He certainly didn’t think so. He philosophically disagreed with drug laws. The Silk Road didn’t trade in things Ross thought were evil (I seem to recall from the write up in wires that he banned human trafficking etc). He simply thought everyone should have the right to choose for themselves. I bet he thought he was providing a service.

Was he evil? Not in his own mind. Did he seek fame with his name? Err, no? He was choosing a handle to specifically mask his name (he always planned to play the “it was the other dread pirate roberts the whole time” card)

I don’t think you can point to a single person who thinks of themselves as evil. (Even psychopaths don’t think of themselves as evil, they just don’t think other people are worthy of consideration. —I seem to recall that hitler was a vegetarian. If you asked him he’d say he was a hero of his people.)

And as for criminals seeking fame… probably no more or less than any human seeks fame. Or maybe to say it another way, everyone probably seeks recognition of skill.
Really, you are talking about CBDM (Consensus-Based Decision-Making). That's something that I actually did a presentation on, years ago (a well-known soporific that puts many to sleep).

I like this idea, and I haven't studied the system enough to know how it works, but it will need to come up with a "framework," where action items are derived from proposals or motions. I guess that using the system would mean agreeing to use their framework. Maybe they can have a menu of different frameworks, but each org would need to adopt a framework.
