I completely and totally agree. They have been replaced as the gatekeepers for public "information" and are now seen as a sloppy middleman with a penchant for lying and pushing absurd narratives people with common sense wouldn't buy in a heartbeat. Its why trust in these sad institutions are near a record low:

From some Google Searches...

111,000 pounds of methane, multipled by factor of 80x, equal around 388M tons of CO2.

A car produces around 4.6 tons of C02 per year. So this makes the emissions equal to about 84M cars driving around for a year. Google says there are around 1.46 Billion cars in the world.

So this amount of greenhouse gas is around a 5.7% increase in our overall car emissions.

Velo3D | Backend Engineer |Full-Time | US | Velo3D.com

Velo3D is a metal 3D printing technology company. 3D printing—also known as additive manufacturing (AM)—has a unique ability to improve the way high-value metal parts are built. However, legacy metal AM has been greatly limited in its capabilities since its invention almost 30 years ago. This has prevented the technology from being used to create the most valuable and impactful parts, restricting its use to specific niches where the limitations were acceptable.

Velo3D is seeking a Back-End Software Engineer to join our team and help building revolutionary quality control system.

We are looking for someone with 5+ years of strong programming experience:

This is a lesson most people don't learn till they are older (if ever). It's hard to convince someone in their 20's that they shouldn't be spending money on status things in order to gain friends or a romantic partner. When you are older and settled down it's much easier to not care what other people think of you.
How much can I pay for the ability to follow a twitter link and easily see who is replying to whom and where I am in the discussion thread ?

It's a tough engineering problem but surely someone could solve it ...
Well if the options are:

1) Try to improve what we can and hope others follow. Outcomes are either a global improvement in emissions or significant adverse climate effects.

2) Don't do that. Outcome is significant adverse climate effects.

What's the argument for choosing 2)?

Okay we might be at an economic advantage for 20, maybe 50 years? But then what?

PS: I agree with your last statement. But I don't see how reducing excess methane emissions prevents us from pursuing those solutions as well. Nor would I categorize that as an emotional "feel-good" solution.

Because I am not a heavy enough Twitter user for this to affect me at all, so I'm just curious to see if Musk's gamble works. He's gambling that the network effect is as important for Verified users as it is for non-Verified users, which is not a bet most other creator-based social media sites have made. Judging by the number/temperature of comments you've made about this topic over the last two days, I think you're a lot more emotionally invested in this topic than I am. I'm just here with popcorn.

Those regional differences are hardly limited to healthcare just look at a 1,500 SF apartment in Memphis TN, vs NYC. The important bit isn’t a question of bargaining power it’s choice. Someone with a broken leg would very much like medical treatment, and had a surplus or leverage with an insurance contract to pay for it. The fact they got ripped off is no more relevant than someone paying full price for a designer handbag or whatever.

As to bankruptcy, unpaid medical bills aren’t part of the GDP. It’s a measure of output so they also exclude things like buying a house for 1 million and then selling it for 1 million.

> As you already know, this is typical for "enterprise" software due to the idea that potential customers will immediately click away if the price seems too high, so you need to let your customer know what value is in your software before they immediately walk away.

That’s one way of seeing it which is not necessarily generous.

Another is “You and us both know there is no one size fit all standard solution here so we can’t give you an off the rack price. Call us so we can take your measure and we will start talking about how this bespoke thing might cost.”
Some is self inflicted, but not all. They have stricter fuel policies that reduce what can be imported, not enough made in state, and high gas taxes. But it’s also cut off by 2 mountain ranges, which means it gets the majority imported by boat through the panama canal, so it’s always going to be more than Texas.
Perhaps Alex Jones is a bad example then.

Quoting here but;

Methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere. Even though CO2 has a longer-lasting effect, methane sets the pace for warming in the near term. At least 25% of today's global warming is driven by methane from human actions.

The overall conclusion of the study is "We observe negative relationships between alcohol intake and global gray and white matter measures". But if you look at Figure 3, it is consistent with a J-shaped risk curve with risk equal to nondrinkers around 16 grams ethanol per day, like the 16.9 number found for 40-64 year old males in https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6.... So I would say this study adds another reason to not overdrink, and confirms that current drinking expectations are too high, but isn't a reason to abstain entirely.

It's not about food production, it's about capitalism.

If artists could simply ask for food and be given it from the overflowing cornucopia, then yes, this wouldn't matter and in fact would be a net benefit.

Unfortunately though, artists must sell their art to get money, then exchange that money for food. Now, if a robot produces free art that's almost as good, most of those buyers won't pay those artists anymore, and the artists will starve (or stop being artists).

I do believe that job automation will quickly eliminate scarcity for basic life necessities, while also displacing more and more jobs in our economy, and that therefore UBI or some equivalent will be imminently necessary - but that's a much larger topic
My suspicion is that the name on the payment method will be the verification, eg f you use a credit card named John Smith, your 'full name' will be uneditable and reflect that.
I'm thinking more the professional services / support. "I used to work for $foocorp, pay me $money and I will help you install your software and support it better than $foocorp offers."

Another example is Epic's "not quite a non-compete" is that they won't release the certificates(?) that an employee got for supporting their software (as part of employee training) for a period of time after separating from the company. I'll admit to being hazy on this but (I believe) that this is to make it difficult to start a consultancy for installing health care software right after leaving as you wouldn't be able to demonstrate the certificates that you got while working there (and getting them again is costly).

Though, if you want an example of "recreate the software" (though not with IP infringements), look at Dave Hitz and James Lau from Netapp and that they formerly worked at Auspex. I'm sure that they dotted all the 'i's and crossed all the 't's with leaving a company and starting a new one that became a direct competitor - but that sort of thing happens too. I'm not sure what California's non-compete laws were like in '92.

---

The "you can't work anywhere using a computer" as a non-compete is certainly something that isn't reasonable. A "you can't start a competing company and try to get former clients to switch to you after selling your old one" is enforceable.

So where does the "you leave a company and then start a consultancy that competes directly with the professional services, consulting, or support of the previous company" fall? That's a question I haven't found an answer to.

As to the bit on some things being enforceable: Blue Mountain Enterprises, LLC v. Owen ( https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/2022... )

> Primary Holding

> Court of appeal upholds the enforcement of a restrictive covenant against a former employee who had sold his ownership interest in the company while concurrently agreeing to the covenant.

And we've got an example where a non-compete / non-solicitation agreement was enforced, appealed, and found correct.

I'm not sure what nation you are referring to. I was also not proposing my nation was the leader so I'm confused.

I would say the the US is one of the largest polluters on the planet and leadership in the US would change world wide pollution levels. Leadership is just that, leading. It's very easy for other countries to just point at the US and say "they don't practice what they preach, why should we do anything". And they are right. Why should they do shit when the richest country in the world isn't interested in changing their behavior.
Ask HN: What business pain points aren't being addressed well today?
I'm evaluating business pain points in search of a problem to solve with software. What software do you wish someone would create to solve a problem for your business? Do you see an underserved market that could use some attention? Is there a pain point that happens once a quarter or annually that no one has bothered to solve because manual processes have been working up to this point?

Bonus: Any suggestions for lists or sites (such as https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/13-startup-ideas) that catalog business ideas for software?
My point is that businesses aren't even necessarily against this kind of regulation. The reality is that controlling methane requires a lot of unsexy followthrough and monitoring, and international deal making. This is a political failure.
Sure, but that small number of people are already famous outside of twitter. YouTube and TikTok creates new celebrities, twitter doesn't.
Not the GP, but my phone is almost always on my desk (when working), on the coffee table (when at home), in my pocket (when out and about), or hooked up to my car giving me music. I only rarely miss a call even though, other than when it's connected to the car audio system, my phone only vibrates when I get a call or message. It's pretty hard to miss. A ringtone would only help if I kept it in a separate room, which only happens when I forget it in the basement gym.
I mean they will pay them if you escalate to legal but you won’t be able to do business with them again.
It's not just Gen Z. I'm a Gen X'er, approaching 50 fast, and I think I've had my phone on silent since 2011. More or less the same with my friends. The sound only gets switched on when expecting a call.

Of course productivity plunges when people return to offices.

The #1 reason are incompetent middle managers who doesn’t know how to manage people without constantly interrupting them with endless BS meetings and unnecessary status reporting. There are companies where 80% of developer time is spent in meetings.

Another reason is that people are now exposed to arrogant and toxic co-workers who will drain your soul by their mere presence. A toxic manager/co-worker can easily destroy your motivation.

JWT is already a thing, as is X.509, OAuth/OpenID, WebAuthn... Just use a combination of these that best fits your use case.

You can’t really judge other cultures by their outward happiness. That’s really just a US thing. I think what it all comes down to is the probabilistic numbers game - how many clever people do you have hacking at various problems. Some % will succeed, and the larger the population the more results will emerge from it. That’s China’s fundamental advantage. They can still fuck it up though with poor political structure, as they did for several hundred years up until the 2000s, and may yet revert to under Xi Jinping. But they’ll have to really screw things up to lose the numbers game.

The issue is that this methane is not being oxidized. Burning the methane as it is released is an easy solve. Yes this increases CO2 at the ratio your specify (~1ton Methane to 2.75 CO2) but that is still much better than releasing it as Methane gas.

Methane gas in the atmosphere causes 80x the greenhouse effect that CO2 causes.
The 2nd comment above pretty much debunks that IMO. If you're paying money and given more visibility to your comments vs. non-paying users, this does the exact opposite.

This might be my own bias here, but "the rich generally do act rich" seems tautologically true to me. IOW, however the rich act is definitionally how the rich act, which is what I think GP might have been getting at.

Whether the way they act is congruent with the way the average person thinks they act is the question. From knowing a few "never going to have to worry about money in this or the next couple generations" families, they mostly fly private but go to great lengths to not post or boast about that.
The difficulty is not about joining large structures airtight. otherwise we would have trouble with building commercial aircraft.

the problem is when you want to make something out from the absolute minimim weight possible due to economy of putting things into space, then you can't do with any connections whatsoever.

This could solve a problem I’ve been stuck on for a long time. I read so many interesting things and I make useful connections between topics and concepts, but I don’t revisit it later and forget much of what I have learned. I’ve experimented with journaling about all of the things I’ve learned and read in a day but it ends up being a chore. Maybe this would prove useful to help me literally “recall” what I’ve learned.
Shopping in particular seems iffy for me. I used to use Google shopping to find deals, but increasingly the results are full of scams. I bought a baratta encore grinder new for what looked like MSRP with free shipping off a site highly ranked in Google shopping. It never arrived, I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company, and the site disappeared a couple of months later.

Now if I search "nvidia 4090" on shopping, the top organic result is a card at "Orvamini" that claims to still be in stock at MSRP.[0] I don't believe it after clicking around the site, they have all kinds of high end electronics that are sold out everywhere, at or below MSRP and I have never heard of the brand. For example, they could easily sell this card for over $2k, or 50% more than the below-msrp price they have currently listed, on eBay or stockx.[1]
