< Government can easily get rid of bad employees

At one point my wife worked for the state and she had many friends that also did that I spoke to. My wife's job was intense, but a number of her friends would talk about the shows they spent 20hrs binge watching at work in the past week. I've been at privileged tech jobs that were somewhat relaxed, but nothing close to that. If someone is so useless that you don't notice when they're screwing off 50% of the time... Even if the government can fire pathetically low performers, they often don't!

As someone fairly familiar with the medical world-- IME HN is generally very far off the mark about medical related issues. They don't understand that regulations in this industry are written in blood, and they often fail to realize how incredibly complex these problems are. Another issue is people also need to be able to trust healthcare-- if people felt the way they do about Facebook towards makers of antibiotics we'd have a huge issue(moreso than we already do with the current number of medicine skeptics). The Doctors running these trials can't afford to make these mistake, nor do they want to considering they generally do have a lot of face to face time with their 'customers' unlike in tech.

1. The parent was talking about a plug not vehicles.

2. The parent of that parent was also by zzzeek, talking about trashing vehicles. And that was a top level comment.
Ask HN: What do you use to communicate data analysis?
I’m really curious what people tend to use to communicate the findings of research, analytics, ml experiments, infra costs / errors / usage etc.

Do most people use Google Slides? Or write a doc in Google or Notion? Or send around a notebook?
Your example is George Floyd.

* He was accused of passing a counterfeit $20 bill, we still don't know if Floyd created the bill or even knew it was counterfeit. For all we know he might have been an innocent victim of someone else. https://web.archive.org/web/20220409101419/https://www.nytim...

* Floyd did not die of the results of fentanyl overdose: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/04/16/fac...

* He died because a police officer knelled on his neck after he was already in handcuffs for 9 minutes and 29 seconds.
https://web.archive.org/web/20210410114811/https://www.start...

* They had him in the car but then pulled him onto the ground and started kneeling on him. There were 4 officers present at that point. They did this despite calling for EMS. They did this despite Floyd saying he couldn't breath. They did this despite bystanders pointing out that he couldn't breath. The position continued even after he was clearly unconscious. They only got off his neck when EMS arrived and told them to. With EMS on site and asking for Fire Department help, the police didn't direct the Fire Department to Floyd, delaying their help for 5 minutes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vksEJR9EPQ8

This behavior was so shocking that these officers were convicted of crimes for their behavior. It is VERY rare for police officers to be indicted, let alone tried and convicted for killing someone. I seriously doubt that they would have been tried and convicted if it weren't for the shocking video showing them kneeling on his neck for a long period of time.

I find it impossible to reconcile police refusing to do their jobs with a VERY rare conviction for misconduct that is so utterly shocking. If you don't want what happened to those officers to happen to you, simply don't kneel on someones neck for a long period of time. Carrying out a search warrant for a laptop is unlikely to result in that sort of situation. Simply because there's not really a good explanation for any of the behavior that resulted in Floyd's death on the part of the police.

Maybe they choose not to do their jobs for the other reasons you gave. But the facts of the George Floyd case do not support your conclusion.
Personally, I never hear poltiticans say "we need to make IDs easier to obtain." They complain loundly but never pass laws to fix it, preferring instead to weaken election integrity rules. So I suspect ulterior motives

Bugs grow linearly when writing them, not after they are written.

> divide a large codebase (in the case of superlinear bug growth).

I do almost exactly that when approaching a problematic system: refactor aspects of it as pure components or separate services in order to isolate behaviours from each other.

Even just what you describe - breaking a large codebase into two smaller (working) ones - exposes an interface that can reveal failed intentions. It's just usually an incredible bitch to do, unless you initially refactor the parts to minimize internal state and the types of interactions the two parts have (ie - make them more 'pure').

Decidedly super linear, IME.
This post conveniently ignores the long line of 20th and 21st century banking and finance disasters, which occurred under the watchful eye of Congressionally appointed regulators.

One could also argue that the presence of regulators and regulation creates the very problem it tries to solve through moral hazard.

As long as there are schmucks with dollar signs in their eyes and little patience to read history, these disasters will continue - with or without regulation.
Bad, obviously. All else being equal, the better the coder, the less code he needs to write to achieve the same effect.
> Really? I don't think ADHD is a thing in Europe;

ADHD is a thing in humans, not countries or cultures.

It’s honestly still very early days in terms of research and understanding, as for the longest time they thought people grew out of it. You don’t grow out of it, you just get taught by society how to hide it—unless you’re lucky enough to put the piece’s together and get diagnosed.

> I know plenty of people (including) myself that would struggle to focus on things their genuinely want to be focusing on.

ADHD isn’t really an issue with focus. We can spend a day wanting to focus on something, but not. And we can spend a day fully focussing on one thing and forgetting to eat. It’s an executive function disorder. Deploying focus is hard. Switching focus is hard.

Everyone struggles with focus from time to time, especially when the world or life gets stressful.

We’re currently in (hopefully) the tail end of a global pandemic, watching what may be later referred to as WWIII, going through the second major economic downturn in as many decades, and watching some western countries’ democracies under threat.

I know there’s always a lot on in the world, but recent times do seem more stressful than the years before. So it’s reasonable for everyone to have issues with focus, and yep I agree with you that’s not reason enough to suspect ADHD.

> Sometimes, though, I won't wash the dishes because I just don't feel like it.

I just want to point out, as someone with ADHD when I don’t wash the dishes it’s almost never because I don’t feel like it.

Rather, I might be doing one task when I notice the dishes need to be done but doing them at that moment would involve an expensive and painful task switch.

Then when I’ve finished the task, I have a good chance of forgetting the dishes, and might only catch them again in the middle of another task.

I always watch something (often a tech talk from a conference on YouTube), because even with meds dishes a woefully under stimulating.

I wanted to add this context because those with ADHD are often blamed as being lazy, but that not the case. It’s more like you and your mate are going for a run, and you’ve got an invisible 100lb rucksack on and you just can’t keep up. Meds is like someone removing most of the weight from that rucksack.

The post has now 76 points in 40 minutes, so an average of (76*100+50)/40/60 ~= 3.2 that is close to your 4.9. But the peak may be much higher, like the 20/s reported by other users.
When operational, this facility consumes billions of cubic feet of natural gas [1]. They take gas make it liquid, put it on a boat, ship it.

If they have cracked pipes, they are less likely to reopen.

Not reopening, not going to consume the gas.

Less demand for gas.

Price drops.

Sure, mortgages are the most common example of leverage for non financial pros. But that's also a reason not to use it as an example. Because even if they're levered 9:1 nobody thinks they're wiped out if their house price goes down 10%, they'd think they just need to hold on to it till it recovers.
If Twitter’s policies do enough economic damage, one would expect Congress to hold committee meetings and consider modifying or removing Section 230 protections. It’s not terribly far fetched.
> I don’t deny that supply shocks can trigger inflation, but without excess money supply the effect is limited.

Since 1970, only supply shocks have caused inflation so idk why you’re so confident that it wasn’t the case this time.

Volker doing what he did while oil prices tanked really fucked with the economic understanding of a whole generation of people.

Like, you’re literally saying “hey, the occurrence of X in 2008 doesn't count, and when we did X again in 2020 with Y that’s when X really mattered, but yeah Y is marginal. Also ignore that when Y happened without X in the 70s it happened too.”
For B12? You do know that animals don’t produce B12, but microorganisms (that can be found in soil and untreated water) and that farmed animals eat B12 supplemented food?

So no, people don’t need meat. Not for B12, or for proteins or for iron or for anything else.

Do people want to eat meat? That’s a different story.

May Twitter collapse further and blow my mind with its shrapnel and dust.
You have somehow misinterpreted pretty much everything I have said: and not in a small way. Please reflect on how you read well-intentioned peoples' sincere comments and interact with people. It's ok if we disagree on values and ideas, but at least let's be on the same page about what we're disagreeing about.

> You are defending calling Trudeau a Nazi

My comment to you specifically stated that I'm against using that kind of language. I'd call Trudeau a hypocritical authoritarian and have many other potential labels for him, but would never compare him to a Nazi.

> trying to pretend that anti-vax is significantly different than anti-vac mandate

Favoring a medical treatment and favoring forcing people to take it against their will are two completely separate concepts.

> claiming the Ottawa shutdown was an example of a normal peaceful protest

I can't recall if there were any fights or property damage at those trucker protests, but as far as large-scale protests go, the violence and property damage seemed greatly limited compared to other protests that I've seen. I'm not Canadian and wasn't there, so please educate me if my perception is mistaken. Thanks.

> and that promoting Ivermectin is just people's rights.

I'm not 100% sure what Musk said about Ivermectin or other treatments that you object to, but given how you misread much of my commentary, I'd bet money on you misinterpreting what he stated. I asked you for a citation up above, if you wish to provide an example.

> I think you should work as a Russian military PR spokesman's, you'll do great telling me the Russian special operation in Ukraine is going completely as planned.

Russia has nothing to do with any of these comments and other than partisan thinking, I'm not sure why throwing that around as an attempted insult makes sense.
The interest is largely contained to that issue and its forum and you've already had the issue itself discussed in a recent post (beside the other recent posts).

The overlap between advocacy and interesting conversation is not zero but repetitions diminish it a lot. And just generally, even if it's not the intent, posting project bug trackers on HN (which is much bigger than most bug trackers) tends to have effect of brigading the particular issue which is not great for the project and not great for HN.

"Working Hard is not the same as working smart"
https://steveblank.com/2016/09/07/working-hard-is-not-the-sa...

[Steve] pointed out to [the CEO] that what he was watching was that his entire company had bought into the “culture of working late” – but not because they had work to do, or it was making them more competitive or generating more revenue, but because the CEO said it was what mattered. Every evening the VPs were waiting for the CEO to leave, and then when the VPs left everyone else would go home. Long hours don’t necessarily mean success. There are times when all-nighters are necessary (early days of a startup, on a project deadline) but good management is knowing when it is needed and when it is just theater.
Isn't it true that the price for gas in Europe is very inelastic at the moment (meaning they will pay pretty much any price to get it) and so any shortage of it will cause dramatic price increase? Also, Europe can't easily switch to another source of gas because they have maxed out everything they could.

This is basically the reason why OPEC restricts oil production, it is just here the same is happening unintentionally by LNG terminal malfunction.

Besides, looking at that graph it looks that the "plunge" is on the order of normal price change noise. Just look at the history from before the "plunge". Clickbait.

Man, that's not even remotely close to my experience. I used that station (and 16th st) regularly and saw:

- frequent drug use
- frequent drug sales
- congested and filthy station entrances/exits
- zonked out naked dudes starting fights on the platform (yes more than once or twice)
- liquid poop on station stairs

I wish I was exaggerating but... this is just how it is around those stations.
It’s an animation that shows how works the app but it seems not working on mobile for now.
No one thinks “hey every place should not be safe”. That’s obviously what everyone wants. However, given that in practice we have huge swathes of places that are in bad condition you need to start by prioritizing. And it obviously makes a lot of sense to prioritize a public transit station, which not only has much higher usage than a random sidewalk, and is far easier and cheaper to keep safe because it has a much more limited geographic footprint and the major sections are not wide open easily accessible spaces but are controlled by gates that require tickets, than it is to do a wide open sidewalk.

It obviously makes sense to start with the space that gives you the most return for the lowest cost and that would be any public space that has the highest usage and density, such as public transit stations.

Even better, imposing safety in those transit stations will also have a significant effect in improving safety through the length of the actual BART train ride because access to the train is limited to the few stations.

This is not true of a random sidewalk.
I'm interested in this. I use a mac for work, but not personal use, and have a hard time remembering some keyboard shortcuts.

One thing I'd want is a legend for key symbol -> key name text. I use an external keyboard without any ctrl/alt/option symbols on them. I get the symbols mixed up quite a bit. They're not how I think about those keys, and it's always frustrating to me to have to figure out which is which based on a symbol.

Also curious if it works with jetbrains products?
I worked in IT and was very thankful I had a manager that wouldn't put up with any bullshit from customers. Any kind of disrespect to the IT people would lead to the customer being chewed out and banned from getting our help. The manager gave us an open form to submit any such issues. We were encouraged to be transparent with customers about the issues, if the problem was out of our hands, what the delay is, etc. no bullshit. It made a shitty job a little less shitty I guess.
I’ve recently started research construction costs due to a desire to build a custom house. Not sure what it’s like in other areas of the country, but in California, everything is negligible compared to labor costs. You would figure that means we get to use all sorts of cool materials and techniques here because the costs of materials are marginal, but no, in fact it’s the other way around. Unless you’re willing to put up with the cheapest and lowest common denominator combination of materials and techniques, people look at you funny and assume you’re okay with your costs blowing up by 10x because now the labor involved is not standard. With the million dollar (and easily higher) house construction costs, instead of the best, we get the absolute worst. That includes using the bare minimum amount of concrete in our shallow foundations that would be a laughing stock anywhere else in the world.

It would be like if every programmer only does 90s style PHP because software developers are expensive enough already and you asking for the latest Python or JavaScript is a desire to pay space rocket numbers.
A more fun one: https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/998165/e...
Is that worth the complexity? I like the way Go does it. The runtime is managing the actual threading and async IO as it schedules go routines, but to the programmer it all looks like normal synchronous code.
Surely we can think of other reasons they might want to avoid TradFi?

Maybe the payment is related to, say, Cannabis, so companies like Wise would refuse to facilitate it [1], legal or not.

Or perhaps they've heard the stories of PayPal seizing funds with no explanation or recourse (e.g. [2]), and don't want to roll the dice on that.

Maybe they want to exchange currency at the actual market rate, rather than PayPal's 3-4% spread.

Or they might not want to wait forever for a two-sided ACH transfer (usually the cheapest option with e.g. Wise), or pay wire fees and still have to wait until Monday morning before a US bank will consider processing the transfer.

Also, "almost all people" have never heard of Mastodon, and will never hear of Mastodon.

I also think you're forgetting that most people had no idea what "The Information Super-Highway" was, and had no understanding of what an "ISP" was or why they needed to pay a monthly fee to access free content. And tie up their phone line.

People who were on AOL thought they were on the Internet. And Compuserve. Delphi. Prodigy. GEnie.

This is not a new problem.

But it's not like you could just make an Internet account, and just pay them. You HAD to use a federated ISP. And some of those ISPs tried to be Walled Gardens, with a weird side-door that ALSO let you get to "The Internet," but that was mostly porn and weirdos.
The futures price is for US. The terminal is for export. So terminal failure pushes more supply into US market.
i haven't called you profoundly ignorant even once. please do not lie about what i have said; there is no point in doing so in any case because anyone reading this thread can look half a page up or click the 'context' link and see that you are lying

i said that people who don't read long things are profoundly ignorant, at least within the sphere of book learning, though often not in other ways. that's not a personal attack on them, it's just an obviously true statement if the phrase 'book learning' refers to anything at all

you haven't said even once that you don't read long things, so there was no reason for me to even suspect that what i said applies to you, even if it were a personal attack (and, well, some people are sensitive about being ignorant because they're used to being criticized for it)
