Definitely a fun project and great read! I only worry it may catch on with the hipsters and we'll be hearing the rotary bells in cafes soon.
It confuses work ethic with fairness. It works because we incorrectly associate good work ethic with positive outcomes. This is a particular to our current time and place in society and we should be very cautious when attempting to universalize it.

It would be good to reframe it with consequentialism in mind to reveal the unspoken truths of the examples.
You can show with fluid mechanics is that all you need is a container, molten glass, and a steady source of rotational motion while the glass cools into a parabola climbing the walls of the container, give or take a factor of two on the final shape depending on how you feel about density.
Some of the originals used the word "journalism".
News as a term is rather abstract and can be interpreted in infinite ways. I mean, if you want literal translation you can easily find it in dictionaries. If anything, I feel like post is quite sensationalist.

From my personal experience, I don't find general news helpful at all (doom and gloom happening on other side of the world most of the time), you usually want to find various specialized news sites that focus on specific areas.

Also, one thing I noticed quite often is that you rarely get to comment or see other people's comments on many news sites. I am quite thankful sites like Ars Technica and HN exist because you can usually find some extra info related to the original article from those comments.
I will agree with parent comment and add a personal anecdote that perhaps provides some models for you to consider.

I am a farm boy. There was one night many decades ago where I said to myself: "You can either wrap your head around DiffEQ, pass the course, and graduate with an engineering degree, or go home and clean hog barns for the rest of your life." I chose option A. While this makes a good story, it is also the literal truth. The point being, I grew up in farming and understand it, but have little desire to manage a farm myself. Same goes for my wife.

Eventually with the passage of time, we inherited farm land. Our path has been to rent the land to farmer operators that we have good relationships with, and manage the leasing ourselves. If course, with the advice of an attorney and an accountant that are both local to the area where the farms are and who do a lot of farm-related practice. We feel we understand farming well enough to engage with farmer-operators and negotiate fair rents, get soil-conservation terms in our lease agreements that we desire, negotiate capital improvement projects that are mutually beneficial (some of our farm land had drainage tile installed a few years back, for example.)

If you go this path, you will want local legal and accounting advice. You should also understand enough of the "big picture" items like the ebb-and-flow of the pricing of the commodity in question, how that impacts rents, the rent models used with operators for that particular commodity, and any farming practices that you with to enforce, such as soil and water conservation, appropriate use of pesticides and herbicides, who gets the rent from pollinators if that applies, etc.

Option 2 is farm management companies. My farm land is in Iowa and Minnesota, so hardly coffee country. It is corn (maize) and soy bean country. There is a corn-belt farm management company called Hertz farm management that is one of the large, reputable farm management companies that many people in our situation use. You might be able to find an equivalent firm. This is a good option if you want something more turn-key, and don't feel that you have sufficient expertise be a landlord-with-a-clue.
All of those businesses that sell cannabis are in violation of the Controlled Substances Act. They are, quite plainly, operating businesses that are illegal under federal law. The reason you don't see too many DEA raids (anymore) is that the feds don't have any money to enforce it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohrabacher%E2%80%93Farr_amend...
California’s population shrinks for third straight year
Births outnumber deaths in California, and yet the U.S. Census Bureau says the population shrank again as more than 300,000 people moved out of the Golden State.

The federal agency released these new numbers Thursday showing a third consecutive year of decline.

In 2020, California’s population contracted for the first time in state history, a drop that contributed to the state losing a seat in the House of Representatives.
I meant the major breach before this one, I believe that was the one that gave attackers access to their dev environment, which they used to steal the developer credentials they used to make this attack.
state legality and federal legality are two different parts of the equation. A store is licensed by the state, the bank is overseen by the federal jurisdiction, which has no reciprocity with the state for marijuana.
I'm not saying this can't be real, but there's nothing here that convinces me it's not a scam.
> Two hard working people are born in poverty. They each work hard and reap the rewards of their success. They both pay income tax on their gains. One of the people spends their lifetime of accrued wealth on themselves, buying a nice car, a huge house, and luxury goods they don't really need. The other person is concerned about the future of their only child and lives well below their means, when they die they will their estate to their child who immediately stops working and never works again. Is that fair?

Ten generations later, the descendants of the first person have all been able to expand their wealth purely due to the wealth that their ancestor had. None of them have had to work hard for generations, but they all vigorously defend their right to give their wealth to their kids without taxes so that they also don't have to work hard. Meanwhile, the descendants of the second person are unable to acquire wealth due to the advantage that people like the first person have in controlling capital, and they all work menial jobs for people like the first person. Is that fair?
Not sure practicality is the goal--Being inconvenient might actually be the intent.
It’s not misleading. It reflects the lived experience of most Americans. That it’s “technically illegal” under federal law means nothing to anyone except — as the article points out — for the industry itself.

And since when were national laws made by consumers? Federal legalization will happen when a big industry partner wants it it be legalized and not before.
You think recognizing the ill-effects of TikTok is just Luddite-ism? How nice for you. I mean, the evidence is on the Internet; here is one study[1]. I also think it is pretty clear that consuming TikTok regularly by children has a direct consequence on attention span, I don’t require the Cleveland Clinic to tell me that. I think there is a difference from mindlessly consuming TikTok than programming a C64 or playing an MMORPG with complex leveling/crafting/etc systems. Realizing that fact is not anti-technology.

Mix of hits and misses, as you'd expect. Scoring as of now
#1 All data in cloud - basically true
#2 Just Android & iPhone - sounds right
#3 FB big success - No
#4 3D displays popular - No
#5 Better AI. Kind of. We have ChatGPT, but low-level insect intelligence is not common
#6 Even bigger crash - No? Of course there was a big 2020 crash, but I think smaller than the Great Recession
#7 Healthcare - Yes and no. Health care still broken, but Obamacare made things better. No big bio-tech treatments like he describes
#8 Drug war ended? Still going strong
#9 Energy problem solved - Hard to score. We do have cheap solar, but that's not enough to meet all needs.
#10 Rise of political outsiders - Big hit, with rise of Trump.
Yes, but taking photos is expensive, fingerprinting online is cheap. Also, there's a difference between taking a photo of the eiffel tower and taking a photo of a bunch of other tourists there (legal), or intentionally targeting and photographing an individual and creating a database of those photos (illegal in most countries).
> The conflict here is very weak

Yes, and the ethical bar for the judiciary is supposed to be super strict. It's not even enough to avoid conflicts of interest: one must also avoid the appearance of any potential conflicts of interest.
Your point about the inability to change your email address with certain institutions resonates with me. Some companies have no consideration for the possibility that one of their customers might need to change their primary email address.

Last year I was notified by Audi that my email address had been compromised in a data breach. As the spam volume to that mailbox increased, I decided to change it. I discovered that I cannot change the email address associated with my Audi account. When I contacted their Technical Support group, they advised me to delete the whole account (which failed), and create a new one.

The sale page is pretty explicit about what you’re buying and has this note:

> The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.

Also, at this point, my experience with the FSD package in my 2020 Model 3 is that it is not misleading to call it a “FSD beta”: in specific predictable situations it has problems with maneuvers but, over the last month or so, it’s continuously gotten better at making full trips without disengaging.
The curvature combs are confusing to me.

Is this equivalent to saying that Apple’s rounded corners have a continuous second derivative while naïve rounded corners only have a continuous first derivative but a discontinuous second derivative? Or am I misunderstanding this?
> non-programmer manager without a clue telling them what to do?

That is not a problem. In fact, the single thing that make a manager a good one is that a good one let the skilled do their job, and communicate back-and-forth with the rest of the people in a good way.

That is all.

And because this, the fact he can't understand most of I say not matter: It just insist to me to explain it like anybody can, and let the details to me.

I have this people before (some with actual skills). Nothing get closer to just the people that can do let them do it and not care about details but just outcomes.

And BTW: I work for "boring (but never actually!)" CRUD apps, and customers that are not only clueless about software: One of the biggest one was a guy with near zero formal education, coming from the street, that have invented his own things that is a bastardize attempt at accounting/financed with the most obtuse jargon you can imagine.

And the manager make it work well...
Regardless of your perspective on the morality of it, cannabis is still illegal nationally. Which is the point of this thread

To say its legal is simply wrong
I think l the reason is that it means that they don’t trust or don’t want their users to know what they are doing on your machine. To me, that is already a malicious premise. Even if they aren’t trying to exfiltrate my data or anything.
Good point. The points I made apply more to Software Engineering. I should have clarified "good programmer to work with". But as you say, this is in the context of a job. There are no managers in amateur/hobby programming.
My experience has been similar, I think it depends way more on the individual than whether they are technical or non-technical. I do suspect those with non-technical backgrounds are at a disadvantage though.

When I started my career I had a manager who couldn't even type, but just approached his role as I want to keep an eye on what's going on, and when I see friction or blockers I'll jump in and start working on removing those blockers.

I've seen a technical manager get promoted, from IC to VP of engineering within just a couple of years, and treat the VP role as his job is to tell everyone in his employ what to do, no feedback allowed (didn't treat those in his employ with trust as you put it). I don't know that I've ever seen a worse leader and had a litany of problems with them, and ended up deciding to leave within weeks of this person taking over. I don't even know if it's this persons fault, as the org didn't like hiring leaders externally, so basically the entire engineering org was just ICs with basically no leadership experience.
I think you should go back Patterson’s book. The benefits of Moore’s law ended and then what happened? I think what you are trying to suggest flies in the face of all conventional wisdom of computer hardware.

it very clearly says "youtube.com" for the source, not sure why you also need [video] for that? Also is it HN policy to edit titles from the source even if they are clickbait? Genuine question. As much as I love Coffeezilla, it's definitely a more clickbaity title thanks to the YT algo.
Is that really a lot in the scheme of things? I don't have CFL backlit LCD TV info handy since they've been supplanted by LEDs, but I looked at Best Buy (a big US seller of these sorts of things) and found a popular $500 65" and their most insane 98" $15,000 Samsung ones, 190 and 360 watts respectively.

I'm old and by my family's standards 65" diagonal would be questionable at best, so I checked in the vicinity of 48", 43" and 50" only gets you down to 120-5 watts. Add probably not very many watts for whatever's supplying the signal and it doesn't sound like a big deal, although of course everything adds up.
I read OP's post as a change from an absolutism to pragmatism. Absolutists on any matter are at risk of behaving like paladins* or tyrants. The change I imagined from it was from "Any speech is good regardless of consequences." to "Yeah, sometimes there are better (such as, less hurtful, or more productive) ways speak, and encouraging that is sometimes helpful."

* A paladin attitude: "Anything which supports my view is Right; any fallout from trying to enforce my view is Good; anything that doesn't support my view is Wrong; anyone who is against my view is my rightful enemy upon whom any harm is Righteous."
I’m part of a food coop. We’re about 150 people that essentially share the costs and output for a (very) small farm. Everyone matters. Sure, we can survive the loss of one, even 5 parties. 15 parties that leave for good with no replacement? Trouble. So yes, your choice matters, surprisingly much.
There are also lots of references to being "raided by the feds" which I don't understand. Is it still a federal offense even though it is legal at the state level?

I can't fathom how a software dev could not "care about users".

Like, what, are you building software in an ivory tower for yourself? It's such a self-centered attitude.

What do you care about other than 'tinkering'? Surely you have to care about at least delivering the bare minimum of results, or you wouldn't be valuable on a team.
> Successful launch of a shuttle

the country launching it is advertising their result, their adversaries definitely would like to cancel it, making it newsworthy.

example: Russian propaganda around Sputnik, seen from the US side.

> Breakthrough in physics

> Discovery of a unique occurrence of artifact in history

the way the media treats these arguments resemble much more clickbait than news. see: nuclear fusion or the coverage on Musk's bs about anything remotely science related, but there are times when this can actually be news, even though it can be more often closely affiliated to advertising to attract tourists.

For example the real archeological breakthrough discovery presented in "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity" barely made the news. In this particular case, many archeologists would prefer it never happened.

But mostly is reporting the progress of something that's been slowly going on for decades.

> Election results

there are definitely many people who would like to not see them published, every time an election is held.

edit: anyway, that's not what the linked article is about, the poster simply tried to track the origin of the quote.
I hadn't heard about that, found more info here: https://thehill.com/policy/finance/3782514-marijuana-advocat...

>It passed the House seven times — receiving a whopping 321 votes last year — and had enough GOP support to reach 60 votes in the Senate.

>But it did not have the support of McConnell, whose opposition kept it out of the spending bill.

>McConnell first blocked the SAFE Banking Act’s inclusion in the defense bill earlier this month, arguing that it would make the U.S. financial system “more sympathetic to illegal drugs.”
Why should they have legal liability in the first place for small amount of cross-contaminated ingredients?

Regardless, listing ingredients they aren’t willing to affirm aren’t in their products is helpful. It identifies products that aren’t for sure safe which is what you want.

Coca-Cola would be an odd choice, since they don’t deal in this kind of market already. I think a better question would be, “What if Philip Morris got into the pot business?”

It would be fascinating and good for consumers because they could be held accountable for regulating an industry that is badly in need of it.

That doesn’t change my opinion of Philip Morris (or parent company Altria). Evil sons of bitches through and through.

What is rssCloud exactly and why should a long-time blogger care about it? I ask this not to be facetious. It's because I read your blog post with interest, but by the end, I still wasn't sure. Your second paragraph, which defines rssCloud, gave a kind of technical description (the "what") but not the user benefit description (the "why"). Unfortunately I found the Wikipedia article to be much the same. Basically, I couldn't really figure out "what's in it for me". For context, I'm a long-time programmer, I have blogged at amontalenti.com since ~2004, via WordPress since ~2005, and I even work for Automattic. So, if I'm confused, I bet a lot of people with less context are even moreso.

From the article: "The CER modelled the performance of a “doppelganger” UK – if the nation had remained inside the EU – using data from other advanced economies similar to Britain prior to Brexit, including US, Germany, Norway and Australia."

Comparing against similar countries is not much affected by situations that affect those other countries.

Blame media campaigns about the issue. I keep bees and most people I speak to about it seem to think it’s a noble defense of our insect population. I get to tell them how they should be worried about native bees and other pollinators including wasps and flies.
There are lots of really big businesses that sell it too.
