>Also in this case abolish the TSA.

People fail to realize that TSA is just the nationalization and standardization of the system in place pre-9/11. It wasn't new or unprecedented. Instead of a Wackenhut (now G4S) contractor making $17k scanning bags it became a government employee making $21k.

You are remembering a past that never existed if you think things used to be better.

Things are better now, unless you are 90 years old remembering the 1960s. A spate of communist hijackings of airplanes led to bag and bodily inspections in the early 70s.

Here's security officers hand-inspecting every single carry-on (and frisking every single passenger) in 1973: https://imgur.com/a/n2HRbtE

Here's the film Airplane 2 lampooning airport security in 1982: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCkagYixpuc

I started flying internationally constantly for work after Lockerbie. For years I had to remove and power on every single electronic device I carried (and I carried, for the time, many) to demonstrate no components had been replaced by explosives. Not only in the US but also Europe and Asia.

Today is better than any time in the past, again, unless you're on death's door remembering flying in the 1950s and 1960s.

Put your bags on the conveyer, walk through the scanner, done. Based on my observations the people who have problems with this are those unfamiliar with the procedures needed (like removing the Mr. T-style amount of jewelry they're wearing) to make things move smoothly.

Much better and faster than staff with nylon rods poking around in every bag and frisking every person.
Artificial wombs are nearly feasible. I think, in some horrible future, your genocidal thoughts could be applied to either group.
I think we just need to be real that, there are environmental externalities to many many things. Even when we take a good faith look at various issues it's entirely reasonable for other factors to trump environmental concerns. (Moral, economic, social, cultural)
I don't think making Youtube videos go at 4x speed will result in more interest from the cats, but I'll test it later.

Of course the TV thing was just an example, cats don't pass the mirror test (If you put red dye on one part of their face they show no interest in how their face looks different when looking in a mirror).
Off topic, but the way you used "in the least" made me do a double take. That's one of those phrases that's perfectly correct, but is so often seen in the opposite context (i.e. "not in the least interesting") that I had to stop and reread it.
Passwords being transmitted over a voice call does not equate to a weak password. You can very easily communicate 4-6 English words outside the 10,000 most common to produce a password with 49-83 bits of entropy. And most people will have just as easy a time remembering 5 words as 5 alphanumerics, if not easier.

If not, does there exist existing FOSS that does conference calls on a P2P network?

On the contrary. Reading it would have been my loss.
I think you are both onto something there.

Of course nobody in telepathically able to figure out what goes on in some buyers' minds. I don't know if/how many buyers would really consider it in a "let's bid $20.000 below asking because the neighbour three doors down has a broken car in his driveway" or "because the lawn isn't a golf-green" way.

What I do think many buyers will consider is whether to buy at all. And that's not about being able to quantify it. You can see from just a few of the other replies here that people do consider that, whether you like it or not. Many buyers will not even consider to buy your house, if the neighbour's yard is overgrown. Like the difference between this being your neighbor: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PGgOiHH_4Sk/maxresdefault.jpg vs. this https://fthmb.tqn.com/bUupIggP7-_Duha--avqVcXqLqc=/960x0/fil...

Now both are overgrown but one screams neglected, possibly even abandoned. The other, while not everyone's cup of tea, seems intentional and lively.

Or to take cars. This to me looks ugly and abandoned. Don't want to live next to that person: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ub_p4acppHE/TWv_24yosLI/A... but this is awesome https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c9/81/97/c98197ac689cdef00eb5... and that tractor definitely needs repairs from time to time.

The problem comes in when trying to do something about one without affecting the other. I don't know if that's possible via a law at all as there's so much nuance and personal opinion and aesthetics in it. I bet in this large HN crowd you'll find someone that even disagrees w/ my opinion that the second yard I linked to looks awesome. I'd buy that house!
Package management in Python is mostly solved to me with conda+conda devenv+conda lock.

Sometimes I still need to get packages from pip in that scenario, but conda makes package management a lot better than pip+alternatives for me.
It's still useful for now, but it will get less and less so. The tornado cash dev is in jail for writing code that made such efforts easier. Since coins can be marked by "good" actors as having been involved in illegal activity, they can't ever be used again.

Let's say a US company gets ransomware attacked by a Russian national and demands payment in bitcoin. US company pays in bitcoin and later reports crime. All accounts get flagged. Anyone helping that address offramp the money will be in trouble. So there has to be a Russian exchange dealing with Russian banks that's creating a track record of provably aiding in crime. It's either going to be such a small amount no one cares or the Russian companies involved will be sanctioned.

Because of the public permanent record, the utility of ETH and BTC are decreasingly useful. Things like instant international settlement, fast payments, and the alike can always be better done with tradfi. Privacy and avoiding regulation was the only real utility ever.
Gotcha. Thank you.

IDK about including a full HTML into a QR code (how would you even open it? Wouldn't a reader get confused expecting a URL or plain string?)

But...

You can publish portable secrets on your website (just make sure they aren't advertised/linked/crawled) and then create a QR code of the (secret-by-obscurity) URL.
Definitely. Spearheading EV's and solar energy. Medicines that rewrite a patient's DNA to save their life. Concrete plans for a moon base in a decade (is it?). Micro chips with dimensions in the single digit nanometres. The US is definitely in decline.

NB the US may not have been soley responsible for all this tech but definitely had at least a large hand in them.
Speaking as someone that grew up poor, people hoard any fixable backup cars they can in case their primary ride breaks down forcing them to invest in a weekend getting another beater running.

Not everyone has the luxury of keeping all the cars they own in running order at once.

The fact you clearly do not understand this is exactly you have have no business making rules for other peoples property.

When you make laws to restrict behavior like this, you are really trying to get rid of the poors.

If you want to help discourage this type of behavior long term, vote for better public transportation.
This myopic "but government" fearmongering is itself a cause of the disease.

The "hard asset" value of a house is a very small component of its total value. The majority of the value directly relies on the government policy of overwhelming monetary inflation dumped into the financial industry. That policy can be changed much easier than bona fide entitlement policies, and perhaps it has even started changing already.
Statistically, high wealth disparity correlates with reduced happiness and well-being even for the very wealthy. Historically, high wealth disparity seems correlated with unstable societies.

I think it's a casual factor in societal instability, not merely a correlation. You can only drive one car at a time, live in one house at a time. At some point, money mostly just becomes power, not usable wealth in a real first-person daily experience kind of sense. Then, you have upper and lower classes...the upper, in some sense, even the best of them, exploiting the lower class because one pair of human hands can only make so many goods and so have unfair and disproportionate capture of wealth created due to the synergy of society, and the lower resenting the upper class for obvious reasons.

Wealth disparity is also useful, but it can get out of hand, in my opinion.
Why would they dismiss this?

IMO there is a missing middle level here : Between Information overload and (real) wisdom, there is synthesised knowledge. I don't believe AI will be "wise", But AI will definitely solve/assist synthesis, which is a big part of the issue discussed here.

This of course does not solve any of the underlying causes (incentives structure..) or the "real" wisdom scarcity itself. How do you solve these in a society where quantity reigns supreme? You can't.
When you create a medium that invites fraud and theft, and it isn't regulated properly, there's too much crime to expect the proper authorities to be able to handle in a timely manner.

If regulating the new medium the same ways as the old medium, for the same reasons, destroys the value proposition of the new medium...then the value proposition was only ever evading regulation to start with.

That is to say, crime.
You are right, I'm conflating 2 issues.

I drove hundreds of miles hands-free in GM, Ford, Tesla cars here’s how it went
Because for everyone to make what they want to make is, as of current year, a pie in the sky fantasy until scarcity is solved, and perhaps not even then.

There are 8 billion humans, the world doesn't need another hundred thousand programming languages or web frameworks or game development platform or even indie games or fiction or music or film, produced every year when the whim strikes someone's fancy. Even if we could, who can even consume that much content?

Being a cog in a machine at least means you're probably doing something of value to someone instead of writing another book that nobody reads.

As of now we have no better solution to coordination failure except to create the AGI that will save/doom us.

Jami is more or less completely peer-to-peer. Other than initial bootstrapping all conversations are synced between participant devices without any central servers. I don't know much about Session, but Matrix requires a homeserver that is basically always running to operate which provides a single point of failure for any particular user (as opposed to Jami where each of a user's devices can sync independently) and is easier to use (you don't need to find and pick a homeserver, all you need is your device).

Jami has also been around a long time. It had other names in the past like SFLphone and Ring.
And a really good steel frame (or titanium that has been butted to ride like steel) is even more enjoyable still, at least for a lot of folks. A hand built steel frame is luxurious and will ride like a dream.
> People should have to pay for their externalities.

I think this sounds nice in theory, but you open to door to neighbours expecting payment for positive externalities as well. "I just renovated my driveway and slightly increased your property value, pay me."

It also seems absurd to manage relationships between people living meters from each other by the same mechanisms we manage the operations of multi-billion dollar corporations. What next? Charging your kids for services rendered after raising them?
Ha. Nope.

Microsoft Whiteboard doesn't work for me. It is extremely slow on computers, which is frustrating, but the dealbreaker is that the iPhone version apparently isn't included with Office 365? Not sure why, but I couldn't get it to run.

Miro is simple to get started, can be used in every browser for free, and is really nice for collaborative brainstorming sessions.
I think what you are talking about are what a few hundred years ago you called prophets. Some people can pass on wisdom but it’s a very rare skill, and followers can often exhibit the cult like behaviour that’s so repulsive to others. Probably because they can’t pass on that wisdom to others.

Also, many so called prophets can easily exploit this skill, which they might well do if that’s their personality type.

Just typing this out has made me think it’s almost like passing on wisdom and the religious experience are probably inseparable.
So legislate the next step then. "No dumping or releasing toxic chemicals" it's not that hard, and the fact that that's not what's legislated, but it's what is used as an excuse for totally different sets of rules tells me that's not the motivation here.
Perhaps it is legitimate to hold that view. I mean, the concept of non-binary requires holding the irrational, non-empirical belief that men and women are loosely defined as a set of sexist stereotypes, rather than sex.

They've taken a socially conservative ideal of what women and men should be like (per whatever culture they're in), assumed that this is what actually defines women and men, and decided to carve themselves an opt-out in the form of an extra category. When they probably should be taking a step back and wondering why they hold these rigid definitions of men and women in the first place, and applying some critical thinking.
> It ain’t the activists fault society has been so vile to those populations

This is true.

> that they had to turn to extreme public instigations

This is false. Activists don’t have to turn to an obviously incoherent ideology, nor do they need to harm people who are not harming them.

> to get any attention and subsequent respect

They have attention, but they haven’t gained respect. In fact they have reduced it. Activists don’t represent anyone but themselves, and through their actions are harming the very communities that claim to support.
This was a fun read!

https://binaries.templates.cdn.office.net/support/templates/...
I think this because these modern search functions use a data structure called "trie" for auto-completion. So when you want to search for a term and enter the first character, it looks like a tree-like structure to narrow down what you want to write.

I can never find what I want to search if I write the first letter incorrectly. And this happens a lot if you use a Turkish keyboard. In Turkish, the i letter is different from the I. There is also a capital I and a capital i. i cannot even search for instagram or ikea even on my phone without pain.

Who are you referring to? You use the past tense, which means you're probably not pointing a finger at china - which is hardly communist, making huge strides in cleaning up their emissions, and their emissions are largely the result of making stuff for the rest of the world. Which means you're probably talking about now-defunct communist countries, i.e. the soviet union?

So your argument against capitalism driving pollution in the hundreds of countries around the world where it appears to be driving pollution is a single example? A country that did most of it's polluting during a rapid industrialization with the stated goal of "catching up with the west". Meanwhile during that same soviet period not one but *two* rivers caught on fire in a single year in the USA.

Which is all to say that I'm unconvinced. It really seems like the driver of most of the pollution in the world has been capitalism. Perhaps communism is worse, but that doesn't let capitalism off the hook - it's not a two-choice binary system here.
Can I ask the rough scale of the company you work for?

Grids are great. But just think of systems like Venice, where you get a building number + district for an address. No street names tied to the buildings at all. Just a number and the sestiere (there are six).
This is what initially confused me about comparisons between Docker and wasm, as someone who's long been a fan of both.

As far as I know, wasm won't let me apt-get install a bunch of stuff, set up cron jobs, glue together miscellaneous bash scripts, and magically run it without containers or VMs on any host architecture. That's the use case I'm most familiar with for Docker; wasm as I knew it was just a neat way to run untrusted native code on arbitrary machines with reasonable performance and security.

I think the disconnect is that Docker is also used as essentially a glorified package manager (sort of like Snap), combined with a runtime/interface that makes it convenient for devops purposes. From that perspective, I suppose there's not much difference between running a standalone binary inside its own dedicated Linux environment, and compiling it to wasm to run directly on the host OS, so long as the API remains unchanged.

It's just needlessly confusing to go as far as to call wasm a wholesale replacement for Docker. It's like saying Java is an alternative to Windows.
> guessing what is SomeAPIResult

I disagree. It’s not a guess, it is precisely what it is, where the variable name is free to betray me. A sane IDE/linter will tell me if my local assumption is incorrect, where a variable called result_SomeAPIResult relies on an assumed, possibly ancient, state of reality.

I don't know what the percentage is, but I am finding articles dating back almost every year back to 2016 saying that Tesla does stack ranking, whereby some percentage of people with the lowest performance reviews are terminated.

It may not be 10% all in one shot, but these articles seem credible and also consistent with Glassdoor reviews, which also state Tesla does stack ranking.

The whole thing about being “a wholly separate entity” in the context of binance and ftx us/intl. is such legal line to distract people.
SBF in an interview mentioned ftx us and intl. have different “principal addresses and everything” for the two companies.
I started a business a few months ago (details not important here) and hire a registered agent service to also serve as my principal address (details not important really but I rent and cannot use my residential address for these business purposes).
So yes legally they’re separate entities but that really doesn’t mean much in a functional sense.

I remember calculating the cost efficiency of adding a sun tracking mount to some panels. It turned out that the increased power would be about the same as adding an additional panel and one panel was cheaper than the mount. The mount also would only help half the year and the extra panel would help the whole year.
What exactly do you want to fight against?

People pay for access, convenience, and improved service in many areas of life.

Better passes at Disney World. VIP concert tickets that get you access to abundant restrooms, better food and drinks. I’ve seen some restaurants in S.F. that seem to have moved to a model where depending on which part of the restaurant you reserve you get different menus and service (I forget which, but saw that this summer).

Honest question, I’m not sure exactly what it is you want to disallow - can you elaborate?
Short answer is none.

Long answer: some early or critically important employees will receive grants after a round to offset some of the dilution.
