> Patient compensation is intentionally limited to prevent economic incentives from interfering with informed consent; pay people too much and they may participate in research that they would have passed on.

I'm not sure I understand the logic here. How does agreement suddenly become less informed or less consensual because the participant gets paid more? Sure, if they get paid more, they might be willing to accept more risk or do something more unpleasant. But that seems fair, not immoral. Why would it be more fair to say "yes, perhaps this trial is risky, but we only want participants who don't demand to be compensated much for the risk they take"? If anything, maybe that approach leads to less informed consent by filtering out the people who actually understand the risk and would have only agreed to participant in exchange for more compensation!

Should we also be morally offended any time an employer raises wages in order to attract more workers?
More likely they're a newer design, and won't appear in the cheaper airlines until those planes trickle down.

> this doesn't work during a bubble. You could be totally blocked from moving if your home is worth a fraction what you owe on it

Do you actually mean after the bubble has burst? Because during the bubble, why would your house price be a fraction of what you owe on it?
Alternate take: The NYT wants to blame tech bros for inflation caused by bad policy. It’s as simple as that.
I think there is nothing special about tech. Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft are big companies with a lot of market power. They use their market power to maximize their profits (as they probably should) and perpetuate that market power (as they probably also should since they are not charities).

This has negative effects on many others in the economy. For example, Amazon bleeding out small retailers by capturing their supply chains and treating its own workers badly. Or Facebook manipulating teenagers into using its product despite the known negative effects on their mental health because engagement = money.

In such situations, something needs to counteract these companies' market power in order to reduce the negative effects on others. This can be consumer protections, labor laws, unions, antitrust litigation, or other types of regulation.

We've lived with a ton of such regulation that we don't even think about because it seems common sense. For example, we are not allowed to smoke inside a hospital, send our 10-year-olds to work in coal mines, or (supposedly) be forced to work 70-hour workweeks without overtime pay. It is only that the tech sector is too recent and we haven't figured out how to dampen its negative effects.
True, this was the wrong way to phrase it on my part. What I should have said is "they probably aren't a professional investor who knows what they are doing and has access to lots of capital or leverage, and a Bloomberg terminal or whatever people use these days to locate stock to borrow and sell short".
I am not a "sleeper account". I posted a very calm and charitable take on my view, in it explaining that I understand OP's view. Nowhere did I smear the language, or troll, or do anything of the sort.

You on the other hand immediately label me as a sleeper account and a troll, for only mentioning a few links to a webpage. Although I can understand being defensive by default if you get trolled a lot, I don't think this is a good way to win people over. It certainly is off-putting to me.

But anyway, content related: did Xe/Xena/Christine lie in their blog posts at that time? I've read other blog posts by them and those generally seem to be level headed, well written blog posts -- not spam or anything.

Next to checking out the Vlang's website, those blog posts were my only exposure to the language at the time -- as you can imagine for a new language.

-----

>> ...and then got blocked by the V team.

> This appears to be more trolling, and just distortions or lies, as a setup to unload more spam links and misinformation.

Is the image in the tweet in the last post not correct? That Xe got blocked by @v_language? Or is that not the official Twitter account?

You have to remember, I'm just an outside observer -- and all I see is a person testing the claims a language does, finding they are mostly unsubstantiated, and getting blocked in the process.
The point of marriage is because you've found a partner you want to commit to.

And in "traditional" marriages, women absolutely do work. They just do unpaid labor (and often more than the man did, working weekends and evenings as well.) Laundry, cooking, cleaning, childcare, are all work.

And having kids can be emotionally fulfilling. Watching the development of ones children and experiencing the world through their eyes is powerful.

And I agree with you, if a woman doesn't want marriage, great! She should face no stigma for that choice. But your attitude that marriage is somehow transactional or whatever ignores a lot of human emotional aspects.
Do you have any examples of things biased in favor of tall people?
Egad. These stories sound similar to the stories from former/current Tesla/SpaceX (and now Twitter) employees.
> bank must reach some level of capital requirement to make this loan

No, they don’t. We force them to through fiat. But credit isn’t created from money—credit is money. Left to their own devices, financial systems create as much credit as the market will bear, then the market shifts, money vanishes and voila, a panic.
Yes the YoY number is useful for getting rid of seasonal variations. The monthly CPI is also noisy. But when there’s a big spike over a few months (like we had 8-16 months ago) YoY won’t go down meaningfully for at least a year.

This is actually great (if noisy) news. 2 months of 0.4% CPI increase is equivalent to 5% yearly inflation. But the YoY is still high because it was much worse 8-12 months ago.

I hadn’t even considered that people will think low numbers are a lie because prices don’t go down. But of course (sadly) you’re right.
That’s exactly why. It means US interest rates will perhaps not peak as high.

"The ability to recline an airplane seat implies a right to recline an airplane seat" is a very unconvincing argument. If everything unethical must be physically prevented, then what even is ethics? "If I can do it, I may do it" is a rejection of ethics.

Objectively, reclining your seat reduces the available space for the person behind you, who is already cramped for space. Even if everyone could recline (which they can't because of exit rows and back rows), the person behind you would have more space if you didn't.

So you can basically take this two ways. You can be utilitarian and try to minimize total pain ("Airplane etiquette is you only recline when necessary, and if you must recline, just put the seat back a little bit to get the comfort you need without encroaching too much on the person behind you."), or you can be Hippocratic and commit to doing no harm ("If someone is sitting behind you then don't recline your seat").

Either position is defensible, but I can't see any defense of the position that you naturally have a right to reduce your suffering at the expense of increasing someone else's.
I think an even better approach would be to have the concept of fixed tiers of locking combined with evicting the decryption key for any Lock Screen above the basic PIN.

And you can only move down one tier of unlocking at a time. Unlocking SIM PIN moves you down one tier to phone PIN screen.
Note that in its statement, the hospital had nothing to say about the concerns she laid out in the article. The only thing they care about is turnover. I do recognize that was the phrasing of the question they were responding to, but it's abundantly clear how out of touch they are. No mention of breaks. No mention of mental health. Just money and networking.

> We’re told, “You make good money. You chose this career. If you don’t like it, why don’t you just quit?”

That's the only question they can think to ask. The only way a nurse can make any impact in the institution is to walk away. The institution has turned a deaf ear to literally everything else.

Anyone with half a brain can see how to fix this problem. Give nurses a stable and manageable job, and they will take it. It's not complicated.

But the institution knows that they don't have to. Nurses will go through hell for their patients. So naturally, the institution will hold patients hostage to essentially blackmail nurses into maximum productivity.

We can't expect nurses to go on strike. That's asking people who pursued a career of empathy and literal healing to abandon their patients. Sure, we are in a desperate enough situation that strikes are happening, but as soon as they get the minimum amount of progress, collective action will stop.

It's glaringly obvious what we need: regulation. Nurses must be free to step away from work without fear for their patients' health. Only then will they have a voice.

I've personally flown a ton of American domestic flights and have never encountered someone who threw a tantrum over reclining seats. In fact, prior to this post, I didn't even realize it was something some people frowned at.

Anecdotal, of course, but then this entire thread is fairly anecdotal.

Shadowstats is bullshit for a number of reasons - you can read up on most of them on the official articles and publications and justifications on the BLS website -- which are generally written by statisticians with maths or econ PhDs with no vested political interest, unlike Shadowstats which is written by an MBA who needs to sell a newsletter.

But you can very easily debunk Shadowstats by just averaging the ridiculous CPI inflation number postulated by the Shadowstats dude over 2/3/4 decades, and put that compounded rate of 8% into a calculator and multiply it with a wage from 1990 or 2000 or whenever... And see that consumer goods/services can't have increased by that much or otherwise everyone would be destitute...
I always make the "website" / "webapp" distinction. A website would be the landing page to a product, whereas a website would be like the site you posted. To the former i say go nuts, if I'm exploring a product and I land on your landing page, feel free to completely surprise me with web design.

However, if you operate a webapp, Spotfiy, Gmail, Amazon, etc, settle on a "core UI" and don't change it. People don't want creativity in these kinds of sites, rather they want consistency.

I guess it all boils down to, it's all about the time and place.

the use case most commonly cited by government(s) is national security.

for example, the government might suspect a citizen to be an agent of the CCP. Would you defend that individuals right to privacy, vs the nations right to security?
It is a main cause why men of the nation do not marry. Many men do not want to be cuckolded. If being in modern marriage means being cuckolded and having his reputation ruined then the man will not be married and he will salvage and grow his reputation instead as a single man with no marriage.

Short-haul (transit) bus seats don't recline either, but long-haul ones usually do.

I feel that for much of airline travel these days we should just give up the charade that it's anything more than a flying bus (one of the companies is even named AIRBUS), install plastic hose-down seats, and be done with it.

And the same still applies, but you can replace "marriage" with "committed relationship". And most people might not desire marriage, but they desire a partner, and they're facing similar issues, albeit the social status fallout is smaller.

I think the only problem reside in applications that require longevity. Many apps nowadays get rewritten every now and then (especially front ends and Middleware)

The problem is different for database and core systems.
Important to note:

> They are suited to non-blocking I/O with subprocesses and sockets, however, blocking I/O and CPU-bound tasks can be used in a simulated non-blocking manner using threads and processes under the covers.

If you're using it for anything besides slow async I/O, you're going to have to do some heavy lifting.

I've also found the actual asyncio implementation in CPython to be slow. Measuring purely event-loop overhead (and doing little/nothing in the async spawned tasks), it's 120x slower than JavaScript on my machine. https://twitter.com/bwasti/status/1572339846122991617
Seat pitch has decreased significantly since the internet was invented. It's hard to take seriously any discussion that doesn't take that into account.

(Also, a lot more people have laptops than in the '90s. IME it's not possible to use laptops in coach if the seat in front is at all reclined, though I seldom see this mentioned.)

I'm of a similar height and you're leaving out the third option. Fly and suffer. Sit like a GSD with hip dysplasia.

But in all seriousness, you're not used to it by now? Paying more for clothes that fit properly, a car that fits without hair brushing on the headliner or knees in the steering column, air mattresses, real mattresses, tents, bicycles, shoes, etc.
I'd start by digging deeper on their requirement to see if it is absolutely crictial. Then it would be import to know what is really required to comply with the requirement. Can you just have a DB at their location and you'd still host the app remotely?

Assuming the above doesn't help, there are a few sets of questions that should be answered.

Infrastructure and local support resources:
- Will you be deploying hardware to their site or do they already have existing infrastructure?

- Do they have internal resources to maintain either scenario above?

- Will your support be limited to just to your software if they don't have internal hardware support?

- Does the app need to function "offline" from the internet?

- Do they have external users who will need access to the app?

Commercial:
- Will your commercial arrangement be a typical Saas with a regular fee? Or they now expect to have perpetual ownership of a license?

- How will you protect your IP?

- Will they accept a lower SLA?

Good article. To add to your summary: I liked the part about "Overcoming Your Excuses"

As many have mentioned, this is probably very common in every country.

But there is always the next target(s) to go after, to keep in check, in a pop culture sense. So one way is to see this (article and this HN post) as a hit piece.
I’ve wondered about this for a while now with all the social media banning. The FCC requires one to have a license to broadcast over the airwaves and from what I understand these regulations stem from a limited number of frequencies. But I wonder if the FCC would have been created if that physical constraint did not exist. Was the FCC more about the constrained physics or controlled information?
McDonald’s is a very bad example in this case as they have very distinct store fronts and branding and pioneered the whole fast food shopping experience.

What’s misleading about reporting yearly percentage increases in prices? I’m baffled.
I would probably change 4 to "Never buy clothing because of the brand". If someone cares about clothing then buying high quality, well designed, and fashionable clothing makes sense. Unless the clothing is custom made, which is generally even more expensive, that means that the clothing will be brand name.
I think you might be comparing different things and making the wrong conclusion. Before "the modern era and Internet" there was much more place on airplanes' seats. Squeezing every millimetre of space is a new(-ish, it's been what, 10-15 years now) trend born out of low cost competitors doing that and severely undercutting legacy carriers, who replicate. So if everyone reclined 30 years ago, it still probably resulted in more space available for everyone compared to today, even in a non-reclined configuration.
I don’t get why people overcomplexify quantum physics.

Can’t everything be explained by the future holding more data than the present and past? Like if you view time as another physical dimension, you are not surprised by the world when you start exploring what is on let say on your left. The rest of the bed, floor, wall, outside of the house. And if you lose your cat, the universe didn’t magically split in multiple dimensions but the cat state is somewhere on your left. If you consider time just as a 4th dimension already written, you don’t need to make complex theories.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback and questions! The meter detection algorithm is by far the most complex piece of this code, and you're right that it still sometimes generates unintuitive results. I'm always looking for more examples to add to my test suite to make improvements, so I really appreciate you sharing what you tried.

It tends to behave poorly when there's a word it doesn't recognize (like "doll'd"—I hope to add support for more of these poetic spellings just as I added support for spelling words like "dancing" as "dancin'"), so that might be partly at play with some of what you're seeing. But I think there's also something else going on here—it previously didn't ever generate so many consecutive syllables with the same stress, so I probably introduced a regression at some point. I'll investigate and add more tests for that too!

Lastly, a byproduct of my own background and the corpuses I use is that this does work better with "modern" poetry. For example, Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 starts with this line:

> When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes

In the intended iambic pentameter, it would be:

> when, IN disGRACE with FORtune AND men's EYES

I don't know enough history to know if people ever spoke English like that, but that interpretation is way off to a modern reader. If I didn't know it was supposed to be iambic and was trying to diagram the stresses, I'd do something like:

> WHEN, in disGRACE with FORtune and MEN'S EYES

Meter is hard!
There's not really much we can do about this.

Not directly or quickly, no. Fully agreed that price caps and other invasive measures are usually counterproductive.

I was only pointing out that in a market economy led by profit-seeking CEOs, pushing pricing up is expected. Listening to those clips, they sounds downright sociopathic, but it's just another Tuesday in America.

The best way to deal with this is likely ensuring workers are paid a fair living wage. And take the appropriate measures to curb the worst of the inflation.
Ah, that's a nice hack to avoid having to pay your bounties! First report: "can't reproduce, sorry." Subsequent reports: "duplicate, sorry." Then fix on whatever schedule you feel isn't too blatant.
"This mentality is what's being exploited."

There was a BBC article about this recently, titled "The workers leaving their dream jobs"[1]:

"....workers have always hoped for roles that coincide with their interests and passions ... Yet this 'do what you love' narrative comes with drawbacks. Many people find that their dream jobs require more work, under worse conditions. Others discover that the industries they idolise trade on workers' passions to keep pay low..."

Not on Southwest, which I generally prefer for other reasons, but United almost always has seats with about 6" of extra leg room available to upgrade to for 10%-20% more, as an option.

I just don't like the fact that the easy thing to sort over on flight search engines is price and airlines like United now often have the cheapest seats the middle ones.

Fair point that I hadn't considered - currency. Twitter definitely encouraged things that aren't sought after on Mastodon, some of which I hope don't move over, for what it's worth. They can lament it, of course, and mourn it even, but it isn't fair to tell new people how to use something because "it's always been used this way," which is partially why the Fediverse was built in the first place.
