Did they study the long term impact? What happens if a large group of people wfh for a long time? Does it increase their stress levels? What’s the impact on productivity long term? IMO without proper studies I wouldn’t normalize WFH

Do you think the outcome of the war matters when evaluating the actions of the international community in Ukraine? For example, if millions of people die in Ukraine as a consequence of war that was only possible because NATO decided to arm Ukrainians, will it be justified, because they were fighting for democracy? What if Ukraine loses anyway?
I believe one of the other issues with compostable packaging is when it ends up in landfill, rather than being composted. It breaks down significantly quicker than other packaging in an anaerobic environment resulting in a spike of methane emissions.

Obviously, many landfills now collect and use the methane, but many don't and it contributes to greenhouse emissions.

Like many innovations to go green, it's complicated and often hijacked by corporations to sell products.

Compostable packaging isn't the solution, reusable packaging is!
That's not necessarily true. Shipping (via ocean) of finished expensive small products is cheap and quite low carbon on a per device basis as long as you don't mind the delay. One of the reasons china is the place to manufacture is that the electronics manufacturing _inputs_ are now concentrated there, as is the know-how.
I missed that, sometimes the threads get long on here!
Oh wow. I had the same thing, I hadn't actually heard of anyone else with the same issue. Basically got a panic attack/heavy anxiety/vertigo feeling sometimes when sitting down at the computer to work. It was a year ago, luckily I'm doing better now. Or well, I now hate technology, computers and programming. Shame to lose what you once loved like that. I hope you are well.
The article specifically discussed the income EARNED by the evil landlord. Which is taxable income. The income generated by property value is taxed when sold.

In most states there are annual property taxes based on it's value. Those go to schools, roads, and whatnot.

Here in California we have statewide rent control, in LA there is a seemingly never ending eviction moratorium...

Hell, I sold my house a couple of years ago to RENT in a better area because it's cheaper and easier! Let the evil landlord deal with all of the headaches. It's a pain in the neck I don't need.

Rentiers are taking on great risk and responsibility, especially in socialist states like California. They deserve the reward. Often, rentiers that own large complexes like those discussed in the article are groups. Not single individuals. It's a stressful business. Have you personally dealt with code enforcement actions?

What good is wealth if it's just on paper?
This is what I said to my wife. She got some new pans that called themselves green and healthy because they weren't teflon. They made our food taste like plastic chemicals. I said to her that the way this works is that teflon was proven to be bad, so they just move onto some other compound that hasn't yet proven to be bad. At a certain point I'd rather say better the devil we know, or stainless steel and cast iron.

Twitter Finagle: Backoff.scala
Yea this pains me greatly as someone who lives in BC. I work for a fully remote bay area company and I get paid less than someone who is a full job level below me living in Kansas.

I once worked it all out: if I was located in Seattle instead of BC I would be making over double for the exact same remote position I am in. Not only would I receive a 40% pay bump, but I would also not pay state income tax, and housing is cheaper in Washington than British Columbia. On top of that almost every single good/commodity is cheaper in the USA than in Canada.

All in all I would guess my purchasing power working in BC is around 35% of what it would be if I worked in Washington.

If I wasn’t happily married to someone who is very against living in the USA I probably would have jumped ship and moved to the USA like many of my Canadian peers. The TN visa is easy enough to get as a software engineer.
Art is whatever you want it to be.

Cheers all the way to Kansas, I hope you have a rich life despite the loneliness.
You do not get free nursery, gyms or car parking in UK public sector...
Those should be fine since they don't have teflon and teflon-related materials: they are non-BPA plastics with silicon seals. Just don't microwave plastic (There are a lot of "ifs" and "buts" around that, but it is better just to not microwave plastic and be safe.) Granted, you are still throwing away plastic once the snaps break. They also make similar types with bamboo lids and a silicone seal.

(Hopefully if I'm wrong someone will shout me down with the correct answer :)

Used to do the same. Thankfully there are glass splatter guards out there, some of them with plastic handles on the outside. More expensive than you would hope though, I suppose because it's such a niche use, but it's not as if you're going to be buying many glass microwave covers in one's lifetime!
I haven't read it yet, but Tools for Thought: The History and Future of Mind-Expanding Technology by Howard Rheingold looks very promising. The MIT Press edition [1] contains an afterword, in which Rheingold interviews some of the pioneers discussed in the book, and as an exercise in what he calls "retrospective futurism," he looks back at how he looked forward.

5.1.2.3 only binds conforming programs. Programs containing UB are by definition non-conforming.

I hadn't considered the C++ standard here, but 1.9 is much more clear than corresponding C verbiage. 1.9.5 is exactly what's described upthread, where any "execution [that] contains an undefined operation" has no prescribed behavior. But the note to the requirement immediately before that (1.9.4) doesn't use that language and instead "imposes no requirements on programs that contain UB". If they had intended only to avoid specifying semantics for programs that hit UB during some possible execution, they would have used the same language as 1.9.5.

> an issue that is completely gender neutral

It's not completely gender neutral.

For example, women tend to get more intoxicated than men by the same amount of alcohol.

Also, women tend to be more physically vulnerable than men in situations involving alcohol intoxication, for a number of reasons. (One of which is that the penis tends to be largely non-functional sexually when you're passed out.)

Marcel, you've always emphasized the physical differences between men and women, but you seem to ignore them here?
Really though, the phones? To blame it all on phones and social media, is the classic “duh isn’t it obvious just look at what they are doing” moment.

This perpetuates the narrative of the “coddled mind” AKA dysfunctional generation who are glued to their phones and unable to cope with the “real world” requiring “safe spaces”. How we are all victims to radicalization from social media even though research has not been able to link the two.

It also completely ignores the fact that women are much more likely to be abused, men under-report depression/anxiety, our diets consist of shitty process foods, we don’t exercise as much, the economy has favored the rich again and again, the several research studies which suggest reverse causation, parental abuse etc.

Some readings.

> The CDC’s 2022 report found 3 to 4 times more teens reporting parental abuses (55%) than its 2023 report found for school (15%) or cyber (16%) bullying, even though the agency’s definition of parental abuse is narrower than for peer bullying. LGBTQ+ youth again suffer the most. They are 4 times more likely to be violently abused by household adults and 3 to 5 times more likely to have attempted suicide than non-LGBTQ+ youth.

> Given the transformative effects of social media, Haidt insisted, it was important to act now, even in the absence of dispositive evidence. “Academic debates play out over decades and are often never resolved, whereas the social-media environment changes year by year,” he said. “We don’t have the luxury of waiting around five or ten years for literature reviews.”

Gabor Mate has more weight in my mind on explaining the rise of mental illness in western society. His book “Myth of Normal” is great and does not contain new information so much as it ties things we know together.

I really don’t believe it’s impossible. And providing a way out of poverty for someone’s parents also necessarily lifts that child out of poverty. Even a thousand dollars is a life-changing amount, and we shouldn’t overlook the impact that extra resources can have on someone’s life. Buying breathing room to make different choices is one of the most powerful things we can do to lift people out of poverty.

“It’s simply a matter of the human race deciding…”

You misread what I said. I never said it was a simple problem, I said it was simply a matter of deciding to solve the problem.

The Apollo program, for comparison, took 400,000 people a decade to get to the moon, and 2.5% of GDP.

https://www.planetary.org/space-policy/cost-of-apollo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_program

If we agree the problem will be solved, then it’s just a matter of deciding to do it sooner than much later.

And along the way, fewer people die. So, if we try to do it in 10 years, but it takes 20, we still win.
Someone made the effort to string together the info on all the connecting trails and figure out where to bivouac, etc., and started a non-profit association to continue the effort, so they're charging.

Also worth mentioning that there is some level of controversy over how much of this work involving mmap should be attributed to jart vs slaren. Slaren originally authored a PR using mmap which some people are claiming was the much better implementation of the feature (including not needing to change the model format) and jart basically re-wrote it so that she could take credit for it.
What I'm saying is that the completions are Python code, which is then run through a Python interpreter. I keep reading stories about how this is the future of development, meaning the number of transistors to get 1+1 executing on a computer is astronomical today.

Used to be that you could program a computer with everything in your head. Then you had to use the Internet, a global network of information, as a resource because it got so complicated. Now it's so bad that you also need an artificial intelligence that can interpret the information on the Internet. All so we can, what... serve more ads? Invade more privacy? Wage more wars? Earn more profits? What are we even doing with this technology?

> Packaging manufacturers typically don’t reveal what’s in their products

It seems crazy to me that they don't have to disclose this.

If it's in contact with the food, it will leak into the food and then in our system. We have food ingredients listed on stickers, why not packaging materials?

I can understand keeping secrets about the manufacturing process in the name of competitive capitalism, but at the end of the day the material ends up in our hands (and mouth), so we can always send it to a lab and get its composition.

We could skip this whole "let's do studies to analyze what we were eating daily for all this time" if the industry had to give us the list. If they don't know either, have them do the studies before releasing the product.

I tried too and had the same experience.

XUL always felt like it was just made for Mozilla. It wasn’t but when you don’t provide documentation, stable APIs, and good tooling, that’s the message that you give.

As a user, you also know other users will have trouble too and that just tells you that it won’t take off.
Pick your poison. Micro-plastics or PFAS. All consumption has a trade off. Some are worse than others. Micro-plastics are causing major endocrine system disruption in youth. Testosterone levels and estrogen levels are getting all our of whack and causing gender related diversification issues that will grow exponentially over time with micro-plastic consumption levels increasing.

I would pick PFAS.

3 to 6 months is interesting, it almost exactly lines up with my experience of leaving work for a bit. at around three months, i mostly stopped feeling like shit and angry about some of the things that happened. i felt like i was a baseline. at around 6 months i started to feel actually good.

also at 6 months im trying to get back to work and the interview process and job market sucks so im feeling miserable again haha
Thank you for your comment! It spurred another thought of why high income != rich - high new income usually is associated with high loads of debt in US, e.g. a mortgage to buy a house. Such leverage puts the recipient of this new wealth (compared to generational wealth or even an outsized exit in tens of millions or higher) into an even more precarious position and ups the dependence on the employer. Which of course matches with most financial advice to watch the lifestyle creep.
That's a reasonable position. And don't get me wrong, I understand there are situations and reasons as a client to want these tools available.

But networks often block them for security reasons, and it's their network and prerogative to do it as a condition to use the network.
How do you know that's too much money?
I know mlterm is one that supports modifyOtherKeys.

Fragmentation is unfortunate, especially since there's no termcap/terminfo property that indicates which form(s) a terminal supports, and so many terminals already identify themselves as ‘xterm’ without being remotely close to xterm-compatible.

I'd say this is the right answer. A Mac or Windows laptop aren't great answers to the dad's situation, instead you need to reduce the moving parts and cognitive load. A chrome book and a very very basic phone, dumb phone.
> And you stroll into whatever town/city/village with your income that barely meets the cost of living in NYC/SF/LA and destroy that housing market.

There's a lot of truth in that.

The ubiquity of remote work has made this much worse. It used to be that one could move to a cheaper area (as I did) but it still had to be within orbiting distance of a source of income.

Remote work broke that constraint which is causing a lot of disruption in very remote areas.

I have experienced a culture shock after moving to the US and looking at prices for some items. The best summary I have is "in USA, the thing is worth as much as people are willing to pay for it", unlike the previous mindset I had, roughly "take the cost of producing something and add X% markup" where X is not too high.
Spain tried something similar and reversed course eventually.

> Winning a lottery makes you much wealthier relative to other people, it puts you in maybe 10-20% richest people of your country. You can't fit everyone in those 20%.

The average lottery winnings this paper is looking at is equal to ~$140,000 USD. According to wikipedia, Credit Suisse says the median net worth of individuals in Sweden is $95k USD. And the paper says the wealth effect on Swedish males is greatest among unmarried men with low incomes.

This is a one-off gain. It is not the continuous gain of a high-paying job. So this lottery win can provide immediate stability and opportunity, but it cannot, in itself, provide longevity of income gains.

You are making the claim that gains relative to population are most important. While I can see this as being important in supply-limited countries, I am not sure that Sweden is such a country.

> Country is miserably poor compared to Sweden and they still reproduce like they win lotteries all the time.

Which is why you control for experimental factors. If you want to see what factors boost marriage rates, marriage stability, and reproduction in Uzbekistan, you want to study Uzbekistan. This study was about Sweden.
Any links of the websites you are referring to ?
> That’s misleading framing.

Your original claim was that the independence referendum results suggested Crimea wanted to stay in Ukraine and not Russia. I agree, that framing was misleading as they were never asked that question.

> Now, those are obviously not strong results, but it also doesn’t immediately suggest the handover was a mistake. The split is even.

You are listing the Yes and No percentages while ignoring the low turnout. Only 37% of the electorate of Crimea and 36% of Sevestopol voted yes. The next lowest Yes vote was 64%, a clean majority.

> It would not have been sensible to ask “would you like to join russia” as Ukraine was already part of the USSR at the time the question was asked.

Ukraine was part of USSR, not Russia. I don't see why it would not have been sensible to ask Crimea if they wanted to join Russia. If Ukraine has the right to self determination, why doesn't Crimea?

> My point was, to come to the framing that this was “Kruschev’s mistake” one needs some preconceived ideas about how things ought to be.

After witnessing recent events, one could also look up the history of the region and conclude that Krushchev made a mistake.

Everybody has a bias. But you are pretending your particular framing is neutral.

Ask HN: I've built an ethical pornsite, should I make it open-source?
I am currently building an ethical adult streaming platform that allows only verified independent content creators to publish videos and series. With Peach (the name of my company), I am trying to do things differently than existing platforms in this industry by prioritizing ethics and safety.

Right now, I am considering whether it would be a good idea to fully open-source the platform and backend. The only things that are currently blocking me are the fear that a competitor might use our technology without respecting licensing, and that bad actors use a zero-day breach to access customer data.

I would like to get your opinion on the idea. Would you do it? If so, what license would you choose?
