> I used to go to college.

College students are your example of poor people? I can see why we're having trouble here.

Poor people can't afford to go to college, unless they have a full-ride scholarship or massive student loans (which they'll have to pay back later). The cost of water bottles is quite irrelevant here, when college is vastly more expensive than water.

> a homeless person with $10 goes to a store

Are we now going to blame global warming on... the homeless? (Going back to the OP: "The worst thing for the environment is poverty.")

Anyway, the homeless are only a subset of the poor.

It should also be said that homelessness is not a result of "kneecapping our economy" (OP) but rather our Darwinistic social policy that allows people to fall through the cracks. We have homelessness even in the "best" of economic times, and often in the wealthiest of places (SF, NYC).

> You're looking at a poor person who has the money to save. I'm looking at a poor person who doesn't.

I'm looking at low income people. Mainly, the working poor. People who have an income, and also expenses, but who are not destitute and begging for spare change on the street. It is possible for low income people to budget over the long term, i.e., monthy, yearly, etc.

> How about "how much does a cheap ICE car cost vs a cheap EV"?

Well, public transportation would be the most environmentally friendly option, and also the cheapest.

You'll usually have a harder time convincing a wealthier person to take public transportation than a poor person.
The EU would like a word...
1. I wouldn't say that capitalism, at its core is a government construct.

2.capitalism is about valuing things to allow / encourage efficient allocation.

There is a cost to pumping co2 into the atmosphere. Capitalism doesn't take that into account. And as that is what it should be doing, failing to do so is a failure of capitalism.

Now the government could (and should) step in to fix that failure. Their failure to step in is a different failure, the root failure is with capitalism, the governments failure is a failure to step in and fix it.

It's like if my house catches on fire and the fire service turns up without any hoses. That is a failure of the fire service. If this becomes a widespread problem and the fire service shows it isn't capable of fixing itself then the govt should step in to fix it. But any failure by the govt to step in is a failure of oversight not of failing to put my fire out.

USB-C iPads already support all of that, and you can already do those things today on current iPhones with an appropriate adapter -- search for "Lightning Digital AV Adapter" for an example.
A complex number is "just" a 2-vector. Instead of calling the two dimensions "x and y", consider them "(unnamed) and i".

For example: the vector <1, 1> is equivalent to 1 + i. The complex conjugate is a reflection across the x axis: <1,1> into <1, -1>, or in the Complex representation from 1+i into 1-i.

Addition of numbers progresses just like addition of vectors: <1,1> + <2,2> == <3,3>. Similarly: (1+i) + (2+2i) == (3+3i).

--------

IIRC, Multiplication of Complex numbers is a rotation across the two axis. The overall concept is pretty difficult to describe succinctly, but it is "obvious" in a simple case.

Multiplication by "i" is just a 90-degree rotation counter-clockwise.

That is: <1, 1> rotated 90-degrees is <-1, 1>. Or 1+i rotated 90-degrees is (i * (1+i)) == (-1 + i).

Rotating again is another multiplication of i, or i * (-1 + i) == (-1 - i) == <-1, -1> in vector form.

Then <-1, 1> and finally <1, 1> again (4x 90-degree rotations == 360 degrees).

--------

Etc. etc. etc. Everything you do in complex arithmetic has a good interpretation in the vector / geometric space.

A lot of the intuition needs to be built from the polar form of complex numbers: r * e^(theta * i), since the use of complex numbers is largely about rotations about the axis.

My experience is almost the opposite but I understand what you say. I use it for note-taking only and it's almost like paper in the feeling. But it hasn't got the downsides of paper as compared to digital media: weight, the difficulty to copy it, the fact that it deteriorates easily, that you cannot erase pen marks easily, etc...

This is what basically removed my need for paper in note-taking. And since in 2022 that was the last thing that I still used paper for, this changed my life and that's an understatement.

Paper went for me from a routine need to something like snail mail (contracts, the few things I really care about and want a hard copy of and very few other uses). I haven't bought a notebook since and I used to do that almost monthly before I had this device.

I feel it's just designed to be a notebook replacer and nothing more. I agree that as an e-reader it's horrible but we have Kindles and tablets for that. Not everything has to be in the same device.

What I am really missing from paper, however, is some color. Even having a way to draw in, say, red and black only, would be amazing. No need for the whole RGB spectrum, just that the feeling of drawing with different pens is something I had unfortunately to give up on.
> Lightning was never a standard.

Yes, it is.

DisplayPort is a standard too. So is HDMI. They're not USB-IF standards, but they're a standard. And there can exist more than one organization promulgating standards in an area, sometimes even (gasp!) private, closed, for-profit ones (like HDMI). Like HDMI is so closed and proprietary you can't even implement HDMI 2.1 on linux lol, it's still a standard.

If you want to make a HDMI cable, or have HDMI on your device, step 1 is opening up your checkbook and writing a big fat check to the single, private, for-profit company who controls that standard. Just like Belkin, OWC, Sonnet, etc all license Lightning from Apple. Still a standard, even if you don't like the licensing terms.

Also, post on your main, you coward. Like did you literally spin up a throwaway to post edgy one-liners about fucking USB lmao

Exclusive content is the only way they (or any streaming service) can become profitable. With recorded music, they have to pay a revenue share to the artists and Spotify's percentage does not increase as they grow. With exclusive content, however, they pay once and as the audience grows the additional listeners are pure profit. So, the goal is to increase the percentage of owned content consumed on the platform and give less of the subscription fees to the record labels.

The exclusive tracks model does not work for music artists because they want ubiquitous distribution. Music is unlike video in that people consume the same content over and over again, and also unlike video in that the artists make the big bucks off of live performances.

This is why SiriusXM can pay Howard Stern $100M per year and still be wildly profitable. It reduces their dependence on royalty incurring content.

Call me old fashioned but if the only benefit of working for a company is their relocation policy I'd rather just get a job I like and pay for myself to relocate if that's what I want to do.
This is just an opinion based on personal experience across multiple companies, but I think many of us can probably agree that companies (large, medium and small) seem to hire up a lot of people who provide tenuous value during the high times, like what's been occurring since post-2008 in the US.

Those W2 employees are expensive recurring liabilities to the companies employing them. This expense can be offset in various ways (R&D credits, cheap money, endless VS cash, public statements about "always growing", other stuff I don't know about I'm sure). However, when the cracks in the system begin to show companies need to accomplish at least a couple of things: reduce recurring expenses and maintain an image of success (publicly traded or not!) despite the headwinds.

Now, one way to accomplish those goals might be to join in with your fellow "biz leaders" and make statements about an upcoming recession and hard times, etc. This allows you to blend in with the crowd rather than be "that one company that is maybe failing". Once the blending in step is accomplished it leads into being able to start reducing headcount without freaking out too many people (it's not just Meta, it's everyone!).

> ...I can't figure out why other than maybe they think it would allow them to reestablish power in the labor market.

Also, yeah, I've toyed with this idea too. After many years of pay band compression recent years have shown (for at least software engineers) that it's possible to individually negotiate up quite a bit. If you are qualified and can communicate that clearly, then you are in for a big raise or three. Until recently, even if you weren't particularly qualified you could still do this. This knowledge has spread pretty widely. Obviously capital doesn't like it when labor can say "Screw it, I'm out. 'Gonna go get a big raise instead of stick around and deal with X". This could indeed be the opportunity that capital was waiting for to readjust those dynamics again.
In Rust, they are not optional though. The semicolon turns an expression into an expression statement.[1]

The language design failure that get/set methods are used to monkey patch around is the lack of computed properties.

If you have an object with properties A and B, but later realize that B can be calculated from A, it would be nice to eliminate the class of "Inconsistent A and B Values" bugs from your software, by making B calculated from the value of A. The problem is, without computed properties, that involves replacing the Object.B expressions with Object.getB() expressions, breaking your API.

So Java developers got in the habit of putting getters and setters on everything.

> One aspect I find interesting about HN is that most of the posters there are involved in adtech, data-gathering, FAANGs, or adjacent businesses, whilst reaping very high rewards for their troubles. At the same time, they have an enduring interest in adblocking, freedom, liberal or libertarian values and so on.

I think attributing features of the community as a whole to individuals within that community like this leads to incorrect assumptions. The HN community is varied. I suspect if you were to put an HN reader who strongly values user freedom and privacy and an HN reader working on adtech in the same room, we would not agree on many of these topics.

There are languages with

while cond1
stmts1
elif cond2
stmts2
elif cond3
stmts3

syntax which is essentially a few if/else blocks pulled up to the enclosing loop level. Makes writing e.g.

while a > b
a := a - b
elif b > a
b := b - a

somewhat more concise. And Rust's "while let" loop easily could have allowed several clauses instead of single one.

And yes, you can express all of that with either "while true: ..." with early breaks/returns or with "while <OR'ing lots of Boolean flags>: ..." with post-processing those flags to determines why the loop has ended... but why not have explicitly named, limited continuations? IMO it would simplify dealing with "there maybe many reasons why the loop ended" kinds of iterations. Putting every loop into its own (anonymous) function that returns an ad-hoc sum type doesn't sound like a much better solution to me, to be fair.
The comment you replied to never mentions handles (their shape, or otherwise).
I would like to see stats on that because the Medicaid asset test excludes $636k of one’s home value.

https://www.medicaidlongtermcare.org/basics/home-ownership-i...

There should be no need to sell a home for almost everyone to receive healthcare or long term care (which would be covered by Medicaid/Medicare). And if people wanted to move to higher end facilities, those cost $10k+ per month, so selling a median house to live in one does not buy you much.

Ask HN: macOS Ventura Kernel Panic, Anyone?
I just experienced the first kernel panic ever on my M1 Macbook Air, running MacOS Ventura. I was editing my app in VSCode, with Firefox open in the background, when suddenly it froze, waited two seconds, and then rebooted. I am mildly annoyed because my workflow was interrupted, but luckily most of my work was saved.

Having ran Big Sur and Monterey without issue, this is the first time that I've had a kernel panic on MacOS (I'm familiar with them on Linux haha). Anyone else experienced a random panic on Ventura?
Depends. If your income comes in 90 days post invoice, but you pay monthly then borrowing some money to smooth over cash flow makes loads of sense. If you need to buy loads of stuff to sell, it also makes sense. Software businesses are pretty weird in the lack of capital costs.

Australia is simultaneously one of the most urbanized countries, with most of the population living densely. Population is denser than some European countries like France or Germany, for example.

The averaging over the total area is a misleading statistical anomaly, as it is with, say, Alaska or Russia.
My resentment with the change from the dock connector to lightning was that with lightning, at least initially, they refused to license the tech to anyone for a reasonable fee so it completely eliminated entire classes of products from the market for newer iPhones. I specifically kept my iPhone 4S longer than I would have otherwise to be able to continue using an external DAC and amplifier for driving high impedance headphones for this reason, as an example. I had no problem with the lightning form factor, I had a problem with the unnecessary and punitive DRM they included within it for /no reason/ other than their greed. I believe it's for this same reason they've resisted offering USB-C, which would mean anyone could make an accessory by abiding by industry standards without having to pay for an mFI chip and certification.

From context, it seems that the "you" in question is "a company that runs a natural gas storage space." As a company with fiduciary responsibilities, they likely can't concern themselves too much with the problem you mention.
He is saying having less available slack increases volatility:

It led to a recent price drop because when gas usage was lower than expected there was nowhere to store the excess supply as would usually be done.

It will lead to a price rise if usage is higher than expected because they won’t want to risk depleting stores too much.
