>Someone in the prediction market might agree that free higher education reduces inequality but might also think that it will increase the government’s cost of financing its spending. The latter is what usually gives politicians trouble with financial markets. How would a prediction market resolve this issue?

One approach would be to have multiple markets, that track endpoints like inequality and interest rates separately for any given candidate policy.

In the best case, prediction markets could give you accurate forecasts on a large number of candidate policies, and you could select a policy that the market thinks does a pretty good job according to lots of relevant endpoints. (My hunch is that our current system is bad at searching for such win/win policies, preferring instead the drama that comes from clashing over win/lose policies. For example, you mention free higher education, but how much does the average college grad really use or remember from their degree? I'd argue there is a lot of territory in apprenticeships that is currently unexplored, and smart policy could facilitate this -- especially if we start with small-scale experimentation.)

You're absolutely correct that the market can't help with moral questions such as how much government spending is justifiable in pursuit of reduced inequality. Robin Hanson proposes eventually moving to a system where the job of elected officials is to manage metrics related to what voters want out of government policies, and markets decide the rest. In slogan form: "Vote on values, bet on beliefs." https://mason.gmu.edu/~rhanson/futarchy.html

I hate this comparison because it implies that humans are somehow legally the equals of an AI algorithm. I don't think that's the case at all. For example, watching a movie or listening to a song has never been considered copyright infringement even thought on some level you're creating a copy of the copyrighted work in your head.
I wish there was more interest in getting acceptable WiFi and Bluetooth performance from any BSD. Even FreeBSD lacks anything but a half-baked 802.11n implementation :/

What if instead of you and a team of six developers there were just yourself and one other who did all of the development as well as product work? And what if the tools you were using for development and even the language itself were geared specifically for your domain? What if you have computer engineers who worked on the language and tools so you could focus as much on the customers and the product? People use Google Sheets without having to know anything about how Google Sheets is written or deployed!

My theory is that a lot of management is there in an attempt to make up for all of the organizational inefficiencies and that meetings are mainly there to make up for inefficiencies in communication because of the divide between the "what" and "how" at the same level of abstraction.

I'm perfectly fine with top-level management keeping all of their programming confined to a spreadsheet but even there I see room for improvements to their tooling!

To expand on the point, stupid, ugly, short, and disabled people exist.

We know that exist. Learning why they exist doesn't change this fact.

Our belief that humans should be treated with dignity and respect should not and is not contingent on our ignorance of the reason.

Knowing why Bob and his children are stupid should have no bearing on how Bob and his children should be treated.
So the main methods of deploying openstack right now are Openstack-Ansible and Openstack Kolla, Both use Ansible to deploy everything and get the cluster up, but you /really/ have to dig into how things are setup if you are going to get a complicated install online. adding a new node into Kolla isn't too bad but can lead to the stack exploding at times. Upgrading is a huge PITA and I do opt to just wipe and replace most of the time.

This sort of thing is why I intend to never write a mobile app for Google/Apple/other devices.

https://devdocs.io/ exposes a huge catalog of indexed and searchable collections of documentation for a wide variety of languages, libraries, and subjects, including HTML, JS, and CSS – though, the only GL I see is WebGL – and _all_ of it can be downloaded to an IndexedDB for offline use.

It's been a very handy tool in my toolbelt.
And I guess you're going to invoke some vague connection to angular momentum to do so? We're talking about empirically derived properties. The math certainly predicts the empirical results but it does not give an accurate conceptual connection to concepts that we, as humans living and interacting with a classical world, can actually understand.

edit to add a bit more: I should also point out that no one introduced a fallacy except you. You are, yet again, stretching other peoples words to build straw man arguments for yourself. I don't remember ever making the claim that the math explains ""what spin is"".
The double helix was found in 1953. Modern genetics is very new. You can't compare it to "science" done 200 years ago. Also eugenics is not 200 years old (not that you explicitly said otherwise). Studying genetics directly solves the nature vs nurture debate: not immediately but over time as more and more of the brain will be solved, until you can get tested for your inherent ability with high accuracy.
Equally common I think are engineers who care where and how things run, but are either disincentivized from or even disallowed from working on those aspects of systems.

I've read some debates held between MPs in Hansard. I can't speak for any sizable portion, but what I did see on the topics I was interested in is a shockingly low form of discussion abound with fallacies, name-calling, and soliciting the opinions of unqualified individuals to inform the law.

Sure, they may run circles around you or me when it comes to debating some aspects of policy. But not around someone who's invested time and energy into a specific topic, which I think ought to be the bar for whether we consider these people 'well educated' and 'intelligent' when they are running the country supposedly on my behalf(!).

> naked resentment and hatred that seems to be all we have left in the USA

The question I have is which came first, in the US? Regular citizens in the US harbor the same naked resentment and hatred for their fellow Americans based solely on political affiliation. We used to hide it better, especially around family, but that barrier has mostly been broken down too. Did our politicians turn us this way? Or did we just elect politicians that say the things we want to say? Did the news media whip up this resentment with biased stories, or did we voluntarily filter bubble our way into incentivizing that behavior?
If you're NOT super rich and work in tech (aka can leave), I do not know how you sleep at night paying those ridiculous taxes knowing they are getting pissed away on projects like this.

Thank you for your perspective on this. In my locale, this type of thing is hard to imagine, we'll feed anybody who can hold a fork here. We have almost zero resources for indigents here, so homeless and others without are a bit rare.

What are the resources (aside from this restroom) afforded to those without, near SFO? I'm tempted to think about this time when a local made a habit of feeding the deer, eventually they went from not being seen to no longer fearing people and would walk right up to the porch expecting sandwiches and RC Cola. Is it possible the abundance of resources exacerbates the situation where those seeking them arrive?
I apologize, I should have included more context. While the quote by Gould is obviously true in a literal sense, Gould himself was in the business of debunking "biological determinism" [1]. In that light, the quote is an admission that he does not care about truth, that his research is a mere means to, or foundation for, a political end. I.e. Lysenkoism.

[1] Calling it "determinism" sets up a clever strawman by giving the impression that only genes matter, and environment has no effect. Strengthening the strawman case is how his book on the subject devotes many pages to debunking 19th century science. And doesn't even get that right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mismeasure_of_Man#Reassess...
I have run multiple datacenter automation teams. Essentially providing the plumbing for provisioning bare metal.

We looked at open stack several times and never had a team large enough to justify trying to run it. It’s just way too complex and requires too many machines to get the full stack running. We could manage 5k plus machines with just 5 relatively small hosts and keeping the stack extremely simple.

Now you are going to say that we don’t provide the same features and that is true but the few cases where it would have been nice didn’t justify it.

I can write a datacenter automation system from scratch that i know won’t be causing me alerts at night faster than I can get a resilient openstack setup running. Unless that changed why would I use it.
Zen's idle performance is absolutely atrocious due to the I/O die that constantly draws 20 watts. Pretty sure Intel's stuff in total draws less than half that.
Then they have to raise money?

You can't operate a chemical factory without paying for adequate measures to prevent spewing toxic waste into common resources like air and water, so why should you be allowed to run a facility that spews toxic hate into societies without establishing adequate protection?!

If there is one thing that made the internet so toxic, it was services labeled as "free" that in reality were nothing more than avenues for advertisers to shove ads down our throats, with the cost being our societies breaking apart as a result of all the lone village nutcases suddenly unifying themselves and no one paying for the virtual equivalent of the police to make sure the nutcases don't create chaos.

This isn't Mullvad's fault -- it's a challenge with the VPNs-as-a-privacy-service architecture generally, something we wrote about here: https://invisv.com/articles/relay.html

VPNs are great when the network you're on is less trustworthy than any other network you have no visibility into, such as in places where the network is heavily censored or otherwise restricted. They're also widely used for evading country-level streaming restrictions. But VPNs aren't really the right architecture for privacy more generally.

It is also definitively a hierarchical culture where the justices are the absolute top of the chain.
It is more nuanced. I care, but my skillset demands I spend more time on the Development side, so Operations must take the backseat in my mind because of this incentive structure. Asking one person to do two (actually three) job functions is a scam.

Most developers have to do Frontend, Backend, and Ops. These have wildly different mindsets and feedback loops and not enough time exists. Don't hate the player, hate the game. The orgs are fucked, not the workers.
LOL... I can see Apple developers saying something like this while theu write about it on their even more limited and lockdowned devices.
This largely mirrors my experience. You know how people talk about addiction, and how they are "drawn" to their poison, like by some force? The polar opposite of that is what I felt with homework. Like trying to push two identical magnetic poles together.

Evil OIDC server for SSRF testing from Doyensec
We've released an OIDC server written in Go to help testers find SSRF vulnerabilities! Hope you enjoy :)
You're right. I used to work there. Hated the experience, but I can see why it's like that.

SF was always dense. At some point, all these tech companies moved in, and it became what I call a "commuter city" where a huge proportion of people there during the day don't actually live there or necessarily want to be there. It also shifted the culture, probably for the worse. Of course many living there beforehand might not like that. Yeah some people own property, but generally big business stands to gain the most from the influx, not the residents. I wouldn't be happy in their shoes either, and the only reason I wouldn't be NIMBY about it is I'd just leave. The NIMBYs basically lost; the city grew anyway.

And it comes from every side, not just a "left or right" thing. People with nice houses don't want their neighborhoods to deteriorate. Renters don't want rent to go up. Even the stereotypical SJW people against gentrification... that's NIMBY.

Also, being a dense, very wealthy area with relatively fair weather, SF is naturally a place for homeless people to congregate. Besides the obvious squalor that brings, businesses don't trust just anyone off the street. No public restrooms, no chairs in Starbucks, covers on everything in Walgreens, ID requirements to enter stuff, you get the idea. There's no obvious solution to that.
It's easier to setup a mongo HA cluster?

Having used both, I personally would never choose mongo over Postgres, there are just too many conveniences Postgres offers that are a pain with Mongo.
https://hsh.sfgov.org/ And that's just the resources from the city. There's a bunch of non-profits and a generally permissive public attitude.

As to that question... it's a difficult one to answer. My understanding is that it's both difficult to study and politically sensitive.
So you would agree at least some actions taken by the U.S. are not that different? In particular, the U.S invasion of Iraq seems to be pretty much the same thing Russia is doing, but with even less justification.
If you're going to try to be concise, perhaps include the bare necessary details.

Curious why there's a cut off in the photos corners. Is the field of view smaller than Hubbles?

Either way I was waiting for this photo. Ever since I learned about the Webb telescope, I've been eager to see its take on the Pillars, which is one of my favorite photos ever. It did not disappoint.
We have <meta name="referrer" content="origin"> in the header. So the search terms are not broadcast. I mean it is a bunch of tradeoffs. We lean more towards speed and low costs. DDG for example may be even more private, but it is slower and needs a bunch of ads to pay for the higher server costs.

Generally Swurl is super private compared to visiting 99% of all other websites out there. But please let me know if there is anything you think I should add/change to make it more private for you, without hurting speed and costs.
It also goes to show that much of what passes for "reasoned, non-emotional discourse" on HN can be written by people that don't always hold true to that stance when stuff they care about is affected.

Ben Thomson should hire somebody to run his social media. Admin work of any kind will comes with hassles. A tech thought leader writing so childishly over a hiccup makes me question the value of his insights. But then I was never really sold on his writing to begin with, as it's a little too Economist-y. Nicely written, 30k ft view stuff for the managerial classes.

> Many of the politicians insulting each other in the chamber are on quite good terms outside of it.

At least up until recently, this was true in the US too. On camera, in front of a microphone, and they say the crappiest things about one another. Then a few minutes later they're shaking hands, slapping backs, and laughing about the whole thing. Hasn't even been that long since the President schmoozed with politicians from both parties as he made his way to the podium for the State of the Union. Now it's "YOU LIE!"
> What will benefit the world more?

> I'd say allowing to train

If we widen the conversation a little, I would argue that it would benefit the world to publicly release the source code of Windows 11. Not only would Jr. programmers get a huge real world code base to learn from, but I'm sure many exploits could be found and fixed in short order. So why are we limiting the discussion to violating just FOSS copyrights?
Currently 10m limit, but I’ll be testing more.
This is the unintentionally-funniest comment I've seen on here for a while. Thank you.

That model includes "dark matter"

Yeah, I meant that if we “turn a blind eye” on dark matter in GR, then no universal formula can cover it. In the same sense that universal jet aerodynamics formulas don’t account for trees and mountains.
