Has it occurred to you that Soviet and Chinese primary sources are less readily available? Far less, almost to the point of impossibility. It's not like those governments were forthcoming about anything for decades afterward. Also what, exactly, would adding those change about his essential point regarding the horrors of war and how they're portrayed? Did Chinese or Soviet bodies blow up differently? Immediacy and authenticity were essential to the themes he was addressing, so he used the most suitable sources available to him. What's wrong with that? Turning this into an argument about "credit" for who "won" the war seems more than a bit distasteful (especially while war is being fought over the very ground you're so quick to treat as a game board), and also beside the point.
One of the worst decisions by the current administration. This a ridiculous debt transfer.

> We already don't know where to put the nuclear waste.

Most of the time people who wrote this argument have no concept what nuclear waste actually looks like.

Have you actually seen what nuclear waste looks like?

It is a solid substance, it doesnt go anywhere. Waste is compact, It fits in a small warehouse. Its in a radiation proof container and doesnt kill anyone who isn't trying to eat it. Of you leave and come back in 100 years thos nuclear waste will be exactly where you left it.

Instead of generating this nuclear waste that we can store, transport, or handle in any way we please.

We have replaced nuclear capacity with coal and gas.

Generating billions of tons of CO2. That cannot be stored. There is more CO2 produced ina year that we could fit in every gas canister himanity has ever produced. Also a gas canister doesnt stay sealed for very long by itself. Every attempt at economic carbon capture has not produced very much so far.

> transferring the debt from people who graduated college

One correction: Student loan debt is incurred regardless of whether the debtors graduated and received a degree.
It is not. That I can think about my thinking doesn’t help at all with the question of why I can think.
If this is true, I suspect it is only true because most people can do arithmetic despite having taken high school math
As someone whose partner is bogged by student debt — unable to find a job in their industry due to the recession — this is such a relief.

Those arguing this is a debt transfer, have some sympathy. Things are difficult out there, especially for new grads in this economic environment.
The feds have the power to issue money. It does not really matter what they get rolled into as long as sufficiently high marginal income/sales tax rates and estate tax rates exist so as to keep the income/wealth gap within a certain range.
Well that does make a sense, I don’t see the problem
Plenty of people have student loan debt and never graduated college.
You must have assumed I was against it - I am not sure why.

I am just pointing out that there is no forgiveness, the education expenses incurred by college graduates is now being paid by blue collar workers, and its the most regressive tax we have ever had. That doesn't mean I am against it.

I just want folks to know that the person paying your college off is a guy who wishes he could have gone to college.
I agree. I don’t really understand the point in being a terminal maximalist. Yes, I do 90% of my work in vi or ssh and that’s what I prefer.

Checking my email or chatting though, why bother? The company pays for outlook and slack, I’d just be making my life pointlessly difficult.
It's amazing to see Modula-2 still actively developed. Never programmed in it, but I have fond memories of Turbo Pascal ih high school. How does Modula-2 compare to the likes of C and Free Pascal today?

This is, in essence, transferring the debt from people who graduated college to people who - on average - did not go to college.

That would only be true if everyone paid the same amount of taxes. We don't. College graduates pay significantly more taxes than non-college graduates.

This is largely a wealth transfer from the haves-college graduates to the have-nots college graduates. I'm not sure how you've missed the mark so wildly.
Maybe I’m optimistic, but I believe within a decade full and rapid reusability of launch vehicles, i.e. Starship (if successful), will radically change what is economical in space, to the point of collecting/deorbiting space debris.
It seems needlessly provocative to use human neurons to do this. Presumably they could have had the same effects with neurons from another species. It’s like they want to provoke a backlash from religious people against scientific experimentation.

> And if my kids response to that is anything like mine to my mother's music, they will barely ever listen to any of it.

I think this is more of an issue with headphones than with the inability to inherit digital files. (Which, as you note, doesn't exist.)

When I was small my mother would play CDs on a home stereo system. So if she was listening to music, I heard it.

This means that I'm familiar with and like some of her music. If she left me a pile of CDs I'd never heard, I would most likely not bother listening to them.
Interesting. I perhaps nearly singlehandedly torpedoed one of these a few years back. I think I'm glad I did.
If you’re just jumping in, you can’t beat starting with lunarvim or astrovim and then customizing further from there if you need to. Neovim is fantastic, and the best way to edit code IMO, but getting it set up to a point where it has the features of vscode/IDEs can be a project in itself.

As time has gone on the less sympathetic I've gotten to labels like "ADHD" and the more I've thought we should just make amphetamines not require a dx, although they should probably still require a doctors supervision.

The whole concept that a doctor has to say there's something wrong with you to get drugs I find to be very patronising. If somebody has trouble focusing, they can just take some drugs and fill out some planners, they don't need to be labelled using an acronym.

I'm not convinced ADHD is an illness either, but this isn't really specific to ADHD, I'm pretty sceptical of the entire DSM model and our need to give people a label or a combination of labels. I was diagnosed with ADHD in the aftermath of the most extreme abuse of my life because I didn't focus in class. I think a lot of the point of the label was making the adults feel like they were "helping me with an illness" rather than making an abused kid swallow strong drugs in order to keep up in this unforgiving world. In the entire diagnostic process nobody so much as asked me what had happened in the previous year.

Even when I hear arguments like this, it's pleading practicality and nessecity. We need the label so he can get these drugs. We need the label so we can do X and Y. Only the label can give me true understanding of who I really am. But the label is incidental to all of this stuff, there's no reason you actually need this specific label. I'm almost certain the main reason we have these labels at all is so present the labelled as pathetic enough to be worthy of insurance coverage.
> it essentially boils down to "but it sure feels like there are qualia, so there must be"

no. The argument is that "it feels like something to be me", and then to ask "how can it be possible to feel anything?"

qualia is a term from philosophy that is essentially a synonym for "having an experience" or "it is like something to be X"

nobody says "it feels like there are qualia". the closest would be "i have experience, and we call that qualia"
Numbers on the purge victims indicate that Indonesian Chinese weren't a main target, but like happened in Malaya what started as "get rid of the Communists", could easily be turned into "And all the Chinese are Commies, right?" - they also often happened to be successful businesspeople, so bonus if you owed them money.
I am probably going to get 10K forgiven. Unshackling people from debt is awesome. Hopefully they figure out how to do this regularly. Sucks if you don't like it! Hopefully I can redirect the money to more fruitful enterprises... like anything else.

The massive increase in college tuition is totally out of proportion based on wage growth and honestly it's not healthy for the middle class to be forced into an infinite debt cycle forever, growing, like clockwork.

Thankfully you are not in office!
Li's network was too decentralized for that.
Eisenberg wasn't the first person who described the disease we know now as ADHD. In anti-ADHD circles he's called the "father of ADHD" or some other such epithet, and he clearly made significant research in the early days, but he was not the inventor nor the only one working on it.
If you want a comfortable developer experience without having to "develop standard functionality," choose another language. C is the "now code the rest of the owl" of programming languages.

And yet we forgave PPP loans which was $742 billion forgiven vs $400 billion for student loan forgiveness.

This is, in essence, transferring the debt from people who own businesses to people who - on average - do not own businesses. The _actual_ most regressive invisible tax hike we have ever had but sure. . . yay.
While this is better than nothing, I would rather have my tax dollars paid for free higher education with oversight on the quality of the education and how the money is used. Blanket forgiveness would encourage bad actors from offering useless degrees at high cost imo
It seems he didn't do much travelling (from his blog?). Many people on HN would have done more. It also seems that he wrote off an entire continent (Africa) which is the cheapest to travel, has the most to experience and probably is the best adventure out there for travelers.

He has biases and he is travelling to confirm his biases; not to change them or let new ideas in. He is using a bit of a rough language to attract readers and collect up-votes.
If you want to invest in education then negotiate deals with universities as a government instead of handing blank checks to institutions that are charging $60K/year for tuition that’s somehow offered for 1/10th the price at similar institutions. This is pouring one bucket of water on a house fire but that bucket of water was someone’s only drinking water. It doesn’t solve the problem at all but now you’ve also pissed off a bunch of other people.
Are you comparing loans given to businesses to stay afloat during a government mandated shutdown of an unprecedented scale where those businesses were forbidden by the government to do business, to the free will of students taking a loan understanding very well the consequences of their decision?

>A software-based translation of that article from German to English does describe Dr. Eisenberg as the “father of ADHD” and report that during his “last interview” he said something similar to “ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease.” However, when one allows for the vagaries of translation from German to English and reads the statement in context, it’s clear that Dr. Eisenberg wasn’t asserting that ADHD isn’t a real disorder, but rather that he thought the influence of genetic predispositions for ADHD (rather than social/environmental risk factors) were vastly overestimated [...]

But thats all they can do - suppose I want to fins out if a Samsung phone is more reliable than Fairphone or Huawei - how would I find out? Will their salesmen tell me the truth? would customer support? Does their marketing department publish mean time between failure or statistics for repair?

There is very little hard data where anyone took thousands of appliances and measured their reliability.

Complete nonsense, there's no tax increase for anyone to fund this work. We're buying like 10 less missile systems from Raytheon on a tab of defense spending 100k items long to fund stuff like this. It's a complete nonissue and you're just trying to make some bizarre emotional appeal.
I’m always suspicious of “one engineer did this” projects. There are probably quite a few engineers, product people and other employees who are simply unattributed for this.

About method chains and Lisp: in Clojure you can write code very similar to that using threading macros:

(-> (args)
(skip 1)
(next)
(unwrap)
(length))

I really do think that for long "Java-esque" chains like this, Clojure has the right idea, I think it's very readable.

This isn't really related to the Lisp to Rust transpiling thing though.
Hydrogen. However electrolysis is still an immature technology and has massive energy losses in every step of the procedure. You can negate that somewhat if produce and store at the same location of the intended use, like providing electricity to a building with hydrogen tank, hydrogen that is generated by solar panels.

However this is of course not enough to run industries with high electricity demand, what people tend to forget is that one factory (like melting of aluminum) can consume more electricity in one day than an entire city in a year. For that you need nuclear power or hydro.
This is the thing that gets me.

We collectively invest in a large number of things that may not directly benefit us. My tax dollars fund programs that primarily benefit people that need the money due to choices I personally never would have made.

But that’s the point of a social system.

The moment that collective investment is about education or healthcare, people seem to apply an entirely different ruleset.

Probably different accounting treatment. I believe the student loan program is run by issuing treasuries, so the subsidies are the main expense.
Crass, sure, but true. Humanity is the reason certain animals are even capable of continuing existing. For example, chickens, pigs, cows, etc. The populations (and genetic diversity) would be far less if they were allowed to roam naturally all the time. With farmers releasing cows to free range, as well as keeping and breeding cows, the cow as a species is guaranteed to survive.

It's a complicated subject but the simplest answer goes back to the circle of life. There are two survival strategies of a species. Either becoming a predator, or become very useful prey. Which, in crass terms, basically means that if humans don't buy it (don't eat it, therefore don't insure it's survival), it will die out (e.g. it's "worthless") if it cannot evolve into a predator species.

I experienced a set of symptoms that makes it harder for me to stay focused than most people. It would make it difficult to do my job, as it was to succeed in school before I was medicated (it's no surprise to me that I flunked out of high school at first).

Adderall ameliorates these symptoms drastically without major side effects. I don't seem to be addicted as I frequently (if briefly) stop taking it for reasons of avoiding tolerance. Please explain to me what's wrong about this? Should I stop taking Adderall, to hell with the reduced quality of life, because someone on the internet says a chemical substance meant to treat my symptoms is not "medicine"?
Vaccine obligation is less of an issue for me than the actual social dynamic at play. What bothers me most is every TV channel, every news site, all of social media telling people to think the same thing, do the same thing, and attack anyone who disagrees like a bunch of white blood cells

Not only this, but the sort of sadistic, authoritarian tendency that this brings out in people. I can only imagine how much more extreme this is when a country is trying to send people off to war.

I don't think the problem is private ownership, I think it's herd mentality. For some reason whenever people get into groups they get way more aggressive. I remember reading Freud's little book on group dynamics and minus the Oedipal BS it rings entirely true to how people are

Just look at past historical examples, e.g. the Salem witch trials, slavery, the Holocaust, any genocide period. If people are capable of doing this, who's to say they won't do it again?

There are dozens of such reservoirs in the Sierra Nevada range in California. None of them will take as much water as Lake Mead, but they don't need to.

Sweden has lots of high mountains that may have shallow reservoirs built cheaply on top of. Reservoirs with earthen dikes are radically cheaper than the sort of dams needed for traditional hydro power, and may be placed almost anywhere, because they do not need or destroy a watershed. Lots of small ones, placed close to users, are better than one big one like Lake Mead.
