The ethics of creating descendants at all are sketchy. Once you've gotten past the fact that you are inflicting a possibly-unwanted life which will definitely include suffering, and certainly end in death, onto a soon-to-be-conscious being who is not yet capable of giving consent, the specifics of where that life takes place are not so significant.
Great site, love this idea. I use reddit for my search queries far too much.
I've got a suggestion for that - offer to send a text message simultaneously when the chat window is active. The thing is, we all switch tabs, move away from the computer, etc. We may even forget about it, if the wait is very long. But these days we generally keep our smartphone at our side even if we move into another room to do laundry, etc. Potentially even allow the chat to shift over from the computer browser to the phone browser, as well.
Taxes solve the buy-in and the problem of getting everyone to collectively agree on which money to standardize on, but fundamentally any token which the issuer agrees to accept in exchange for a debt is "money".

Forget about NCG. Suppose you move somewhere without any government. Heinlein ran through this example as a thought experiment in _Time Enough for Love_. You open up a general store. Nobody has any money to pay you, so whenever someone wants to buy something, they have to trade something. You can't set prices because there's no currency unit (numeraire) to set prices in. So what you do is you offer to let people buy things on credit, knowing that they will later have stuff to trade you to satisfy the debt. All this requires is a book to track debts. That leaves you having to haggle at time of repayment what that thing in the past they bought was worth, in terms of what they have to trade for it now.

So, you as the owner print up "notes" and give them out to people, typically for larger projects, with contractual promise of repayment later. These can be called loans. They don't have to be for projects, though. You could give everyone some "notes" every month and keep track in a ledger that they owe you that back with interest, or maybe no interest if you think people using your notes will give you an advantage over your competition, the general store in the next valley over that everyone is sick of bartering with. Whatever the reason for handing out these "notes", you can then set all your prices in terms of the numeraire on these "notes" you hand out, so the person you loaned money to can buy stuff from you. The people you loan to can also buy stuff from other people using these "notes" as long as those other people also want to buy stuff from your general store.

Maybe the loanee starts up a farm with the loan. As the farm produces food, they sell the food to other people, and maybe they accept the "notes" back as payment for the food. The loanee can use the "notes" they received from the food they sold to pay back their debt to your general store. With interest, of course.

Trying to balance money supply with economic activity — and only the activity of people willing to use that type of money — is a challenge in such a small economy like that, with privately-issued currency. However, no taxes are necessary.
Is this satire? Surely this must be satire. Because every point you just listed is wrong.

> Everyone on both side gets unblocked full vista. There are no other buildings blocking the view or the sun.

This is meant to be 500 metres wide! Only the few on the outside get the view.

> Navigation is super easy. No getting lost in the city.

Navigation is really difficult if there's a blockage in your way or your destination is really far! You could also get lost - on foot! - in a three dimensional urban jungle.

> One single public (or private) transportation line (Metro, Bus, etc.), no criss crossing complicated routes. No calculation for what is the optimal route between two points in the city.

This is also reallllllly fragile. If there's a blockage, power failure, accident then you have real trouble.

> Same holds true for essentials like water, electricity, sewage etc. One straight uncomplicated pipe infrastructure - easy to lay, maintain.

See above, also getting water into this... thing... is far from uncomplicated in the first place. No rivers, no natural water. And if it's all supplied through the city (as in, through 170km or whatever) where's the redundancy? What if the water pipes break? What if the sewage pipes spill?

> Incase of emergency easy and super fast evacuation, everyone simultaneously 'spills out' of the walls on either side. No long travel through city, getting blocked due to traffic jams.

Great, you have successfully evacuated everyone into the desert. How are you going to keep them alive? Evacuate them? Which scenarios is this a benefit? I can think of - maybe - a fire? But then fires in high rise build are already extremely deadly and this is a big high building, so it's not going to help

> With proper planning of shades, HVAC, etc. climate control could be more energy efficient.
Forget shade, there is none. Climate control - this is a 500m x 500m x 17000m building. This is never going to be efficent. EVER. Transport - distances between points have been absolutely maximised so it's also incredibly inefficient. Water? How do you get water in Saudi Arabia with NO RIVERS NEARBY? A massive desalination plant presumably - so again, NOT EFFICIENT.

> I'm just not sure how this would work with SSL.

Hmm, you can terminate the SSL connections on a proxy. Some colleagues at work (but at a different location)maintain such a setup (i.e. I never set it up myself) but the relevant search terms are "reverse proxy" and "SSL termination" on that proxy. Only the proxy needs a proper certificate then, but that's where Let's Encrypt helps.

> Everybody has known all along that renewables generation is intermittent

That doesn't mean it's made clear in statistics. I've read plenty of people say "X generates as much as Y", where X is intermittent and Y is suitable for base load. Certainly enough to disagree that everyone knows it and is able to discern that from context-free statistics.

> Navigation is super easy. No getting lost in the city.

But your maps need to be inherently three-dimensional because of the verticality. Usually getting around in a city only requires a two-dimensional map until you enter the building at your destination.

In other words, a single vehicle breaking down can take down the entire transit system.

You still need to branch out from the single pipe in the same way as in a conventional city. Also, "one straight pipe" is a really bad idea because of the same issue as above. Good engineering is all about avoid single points of failure.

I agree with your basic diagnosis, "Many people are spending most of their lives doing stuff that they don't want to do". But I want to add: most of their lives doing things they find meaningless and pointless. (See Graeber on "Bullshit Jobs" for just an instance, not exhaustive).

So I don't agree with your next conclusion, I don't think that's leading to "shortcuts instead of trying to do things the right way." To do things they don't want to do the right way? To do things that are meaningless and pointless, but do them the "right way"?

I agree with, I think, the OP, in that what you are suggesting is metaphorical "get better at eating frogs, why are you so lazy about it?"

But I agree with your basic explanation. My interpretation of why people might engage in office/politics is: to try and find some meaning in life. The politics seem meaningful because politics (of both varieties) are actually core to what humans as humans do.

The problem is not "How do we figure out how to force ourselves to do the meaningless boring stuff we don't want to do the right way?" The problem is: How do we find meaning in our lives that have been structured so we spend most of them doing meaningless things we don't want to do, and are not sure how to live otherwise. And, with regard to harmful or unhealthy forms of "politics" or "drama": In what ways do our attempts to find meaning backfire?
Where i live in the suburbs we don't even have sidewalks ffs. I live about 3 blocks from my kids' school, yet they are driven or take the bus to school because kids are not allowed to bike or walk to elementary or middle school, unfortunately.

wow, didn't realize so much of EU can afford electric vehicles. They are more expensive over here in the U.S. - especially compared to a decent used car. Is this a function of the cost of fuel being much higher over there? Or are there subsidies for purchasing electric or something else?
Definitely a cool use for this sort of thing. I've been playing with SD for the past couple of weeks on my home desktop. It's not at a stage where you'd necessarily use its output directly as a print or certainly a tattoo on your skin.

The time of innovation is over, the time of cashing in and preservation has come?

I think of the automotive industry.

Big tech will start to diversify, start banks, buy appliance companies, buy suppliers/vertical integration.

I believe that happened to Auto in the 60s and 70s, about 20-30 years after the boom.

If we (irresponsibly) use that timeline, we should expect dark days for the next 20 years. Most innovation will be outside the US. Then comes the 1990s where tech companies will sober up, cut the free food, and become competitive again. By 2010s they will be innovating again.... 40 years from now.

Sorry for the doom prediction, I just saw a pattern.

Show HN: Phoenix, a no-loss brokerage for active individual investors
Do you like actively trading?

If you do, chances are you lose money. 85% of active individual investors lose money, for an aggregate loss of around $1trn per year.

Several major causes of this are outside the control of investors:

1. Wall Street has a large informational edge.

2. Wrongdoing towards individual investors goes unpunished by the government and regulators, with a revolving door between these two and Wall Street.

3. Short-term frictional costs eat into a short-term trading style.

4. Brokerages now have a business model of selling customer trades to financial institutions. This is rife with conflicts of interest and abuse, with limited transparency.

5. Brokerages are incentivized to push a bad trading style on their clients and do so, in order to maximize their own revenue.

Phoenix seeks to provide better financial outcomes for individuals actively trading markets, with no potential for trading losses for any participants, but a real chance for big gains.

We aim to reduce the $1trn loss of active individual investors by 98% (we plan to take the last 2% as our revenue), and to build a new community and product for them that has the core focus of improving investor outcomes. Every other individual investor brokerage product we’ve reviewed ultimately has the goal of exploiting them more, or in a new way. We’re taking a radically different approach.

How does this work?

Our core product doesn’t involve any interaction with real financial markets or institutions. Instead, we simply ingest market data into our app, and all customer trades are virtual based on these real prices. This means that investors trade in exactly the same way as they would in a real brokerage, just with simpler liquidity, algorithmic derivative pricing, and no real consequences if things go wrong (like margin calls, taxes on unrealized gains, or debt from losses on margin). This also means there are no deposits or fees required to participate in Phoenix. Investors who do well don’t make trading profit, but instead earn rewards based on their ranking on our leaderboard in each day or week.

We generate the money for these rewards by taking subscription revenue in exchange for a variety of premium features that we offer associated with our ecosystem. This revenue feeds the value of a crypto token, which then automatically distributes rewards based on the ranking charts.

Meta is effectively funding a top junior engineer to work on something the find interesting for 1/10th the in-house price. Not a bad deal for them.
This especially sucks for CS since a nontrivial portion of incoming CS students have programming experience but a large number have none. Using a 101 course as a weed out has the effect of stratifying these two groups. As one would expect, men are disproportionately likely to have prior programming experience so this process contributes to gender imbalances. CMU found that reorienting its curriculum to not place so much emphasis on prior programming experience in intro classes had a significant effect in reducing the number of women who tried CS and then left.
It is a tradeoff. You can buy into the C# ecosystem and get a lot of benefits (like reusing all the libraries already written in other languages). However, if you build software for real-time embedded microcontrollers, like Blech does, that these advantages are not worth it.
> because different people have had different experiences with him

This is true, but also highlights an important asymmetry. Somebody who is an asshole only to some people is really an asshole all the time. They're just a smart asshole, aware of the need to secure others' cooperation or more generally manage others' opinion of them. By contrast, a nice person is no worse than neutral to (within epsilon of) everyone. They don't need to manipulate others into being allies.

> Everything exists in a shade of grey.

Both sides, eh? Even grey has different shades. Yes, we should consider all the information and reach nuanced conclusions, but there's nothing wrong with recognizing that someone's "default setting" was to treat others poorly and that others should not try to emulate them. The "brilliant asshole" archetype, of which Jobs was very much an exemplar, has done immeasurable harm to our industry, and a few stealth-PR "revelations" don't change that.
I had a similar experience which, when combined with my academic background, pointed toward a particular corporate need that (to my surprise) was mostly received as unpleasant. It’s a decision support role starting with a risk-based statistical model of products, then devising for hypothetical competing devices the best selling points. The test was useful to decide which frog, reminded me of the movie Brazil.

>This seems extremely overblown.

I used the wiggle word of potential because the severity of these feedback loops is debatable, but I don't think it's overblown at all.

If a tipping point does in fact exist and we pass it, it means we will be on an irreversible course to indefinite warming of the planet. To make matters worse, a positive feedback loop implies an exponential growth, unless some sort of negative feedback loop kicks in to counter it.

It is estimated that we have warmed the planet by 1.21C so far (as of 2021) since pre-industrial era[1]. In the worst case scenario (RCP8.5), temperatures will reach 2.5-4.9C by 2100[2]. It's worth pointing out the impact of temperature increase is exponential as well, i.e. 2C global temperature increase will make severe weather events 4 times more frequent than a 1.5C global temperature increase. Some studies estimate that all of earth will be uninhabitable by humans if the global temperature reaches 12C above pre-industrial era[3]. I don't think it's overblown to say this is possible within the next few hundreds of years, especially if these feedback loops turn out to kick in and start rapidly pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere than we do.

Agreed. Last year, for instance, I tried Svelte. I had a great time for a while, everything was fairly simple...but then I hit a specific scenario. I can't recall what it was, but it led to me digging as deep as I could into their docs to try and understand how Svelte was doing that whole $ thing. I nearly melted my brain trying to understand it.

That's not to say hooks are much better, but I find the overall mental model to be fairly simple to understand, and I don't often find myself bumping up against React's edges.

You can't. But my g'parent comment in this thread was because my Python module needs the OpenMP library, or compile-time detection that it wasn't there, to skip OpenMP support. The latter is done by an environment variable which my setup.py understands.

Then orf dreamed of a day where you could "describe what system libraries I may need without having to execute setup.py and find out, and express compile time flags."

The link you pointed doesn't appear to handle what we were talking about. By specifying "gfortran", I hoped to highlight that difference.
