Are you sure about this? I believe you would prefer a share value increase of $1 instead of a dividend of $1, as you are taxed on dividends as income (income tax) but stock appreciation is capital gains (lower tax than income tax). This is in the context of American taxes.
Yeah, that is fair. For that problem, from an admin perspective, killport becomes a bandaid for not fixing the bug of poor behavior when the laptop lid closes. Instead of finding an automatic technical solution that does the right thing, every developer must toil by running operational commands to resolve their hung server.

If you have a "cargo cult" culture rather than an "understand the problem" culture what happens is that you hire a new dev and teach them that when the lid closes, you run killport to get it running again. The environment takes 10 seconds to set up and that's fine. By the time you are 100 employees you have 100 employees killporting their dev server and now taking 2 minutes to restart.

If you're lucky you get an altruistic hero dev who says "screw this, I don't want to deal with this any more" and they solve it. If you're unlucky, the behavior gets scaled out to 1000 employees your dev server takes 10 minutes to initialize and your developer tools team is under resourced and has higher priority stuff to deal with since "dev server hung" already has a solution. That's a little hyperbolic, but I've seen similar things.

Maybe what you really want is a cron job or supervisor that health checks your environment and restarts it when it's hung. Maybe there's a place to shim open/close lid behavior. Maybe spinning disks are being used instead of SSD's. Maybe the problem is local dev environment instead of remote. Most of those suggestions are automations or mitigations. The real solution might be as simple as a configuration change.

It seems like a very solvable problem.

> now cant boot my dev server during local development

Why?
The carbon pricing slider is very powerful in that simulation! (also surprised me the effects of deforestation and afforestation)

It really seems like the straightforward solution to me, even more than carbon credits which seem to have some issues (I believe you can get paid for 'not emitting' in some cases, which of course can lead to almost-fraudulent behavior) -- taxing emissions is much more concrete and verifiable.

Also deforestation and afforestation are shown incredibly powerful. It really seems to me one of the most important aspects, since it means we also get "for free" the security of our forests and habitats that are collapsing (and even expansion of wild habitats hopefully!).

Ask HN: Have you been affected by the macro changes?
In talking with engineers across the industry, it seems that many are struggling. My read on the root cause is that an increase in pressure from the top is causing more toxic behaviors from employers. In the past two months, I've heard everything from "the market is flooded with talent we should cut the bottom 20%" to "let's force RTO as that's a good way to get 5% to leave".

It's easy to step back and say "these are terrible short term decisions and that these companies will suffer in the long term". Yet, the impact on people and morale is devastating to watch. Many that have been laid off are struggling to land interviews with the average staff job positing receiving 1000+ qualified candidates from FAANGs.

So two questions: a) have you been affected by the macro changes b) what can an I, or an any individual, do to help?

Just "Reduce conversion of natural ecosystems" is the second biggest GHG impact, after solar and just above wind (though at a slightly higher cost), according to the IPCC:

Reforesting, afforesting and ecosystem restoration are nearly as impactful, but listed seperately.
> We can say with nearly 100% certainty that a human being cannot thrive without regularly eating meat, or at least dairy or eggs. This is evidenced by human beings having eaten meat for millions of years.

Uh...your second sentence is evidence that you can thrive while regularly eating meat, but not evidence that you can't thrive without it.

Meanwhile, your first sentence entails that there's no such thing as a thriving vegan.

Maybe eating meat is natural, and healthy, and moral, but you might want to limit your arguments to those that don't deny basic observable facts.

Actually lots of people are now talking about the problem of too few babies especially in Europe. Many countries are looking to their populations halving by 2100. A recent report says there are 79 countries with fertility rates (mean=1.59) below the replacement level rate (mean=2.08).

[ The means are my calculations on dataset in https://www.pop.org/simple/countries-with-below-replacement-... ]

There are some negative consequences or at least difficult questions to wrestle with. Where is the tax coming from in a massively aged world? Who pays for healthcare for the elderly and who looks after them? Will retirement remain an option in those countries and will those folk get a pension? Others can comment on the positive aspects of declining fertility.
I think every major car manufacturer has some kind of remote unlock capability these days - people want an app.

You could design one of those apps to end-to-end encrypt all comms with the car, but I don't think most people would appreciate the usability hit.
The main reason why I'm eliminating these kinds of things from my life is self-protection rather than trying to get companies to change their behavior. As you say, getting them to change outside of effective legislation is impossible.

> for some companies, like Google or Facebook, it's pretty hard for a consumer to actually give them money in the first place, nor is practical [0] to not use their products.

Well, the only Facebook product I use is WhatsApp, and that's to talk with one person in Europe who only uses WhatsApp. The only Google product I use is YouTube, and I only use that with an account that is not used for any other purpose, and on a tablet that is not used for any other purpose.

So my experience is that avoiding these companies is entirely practical. All you give up is a small amount of convenience.

US companies, led by VC's, have mastered the art of "shimming" themselves into every consumer interation possible, and then expanding that shim until all we can do is give up and say, "I guess that's just how it is," cede our privacy to yet another 3rd party, and pay $X/mo for the privilege. It's exhausting. Meanwhile, it seems almost everyone in Congress is making BANK on insider trading, probably cooperating with private equity doing this sort of thing, so there's no chance to implement regulations to prevent people from boiling more frogs. If there's one app or service that I use which isn't doing this, I don't know what it would be. Maybe Sublime Text? It's the only thing installed on my computer that I trust to not be transmitting telemetry. I guess that means I should join a VC firm and convince them to do a big investment in it to make it a be-all-things-to-all-people golem like VS Code, and include telemetry and a monthly cost model.

Nice work, well-written and easy to understand, and with lots of real-world applications.

The key insight is that if you reformat each row in your tabular data as a string of text (e.g., "income is $50,000, college education is True, age is 30 to 40, ..."), you can tokenize the text, feed it to a pretrained LLM, and finetune the LLM to generate synthetic records that are statistically similar to the real ones.

I think it's important, as people who eat meat, to fully acknowledge the deep and societal harms that meat causes. It is well-studied that slaughterhouses are uniquely bad for a community and uniquely bad for the people who work there. Meat as a food can sometimes be bad for people, but meat as an industry is definitely bad for people. Knowing this can allow us to make more responsible choices even if we still end up eating meat, such as selecting for small, ethical farmers that also limit the trauma of themselves/those who do the slaughtering of their stock.
I use Trello for a lot of things. I'm not saying notion is this thing, but customizing the dessign to the workflow works better than One App To Rule Them All.

My go to example here is grocery lists. Most "productivity" apps have a checklist feature, but thats super bare bones. I used to use Cinnamon, but its been taken off the store (anylist is a my current meager replacement). What made it _good_ was that instead of "done/not done" state checklists offer was that it modeled an inventory flow. Pantry -> Buy List -> Shopping cart -> Pantry.

The shopping process is simple and repeatable. I start with the Pantry list, which describes all the stuff I expect in a well-stocked pantry, and step one is to confirm I have them. Anything I don't have (or need more of) I move to the buy list. Later, at the store, the Buy list is my guide to what goes in the shopping cart.

This is very similar to the original intention of Kanban, but:

- the UI is much smoother than trello. Just swiping, no drag and drop. And there's an undo button
- the metadata is customized to the process, and can decorate the UI with info. Prices forecast your total at the checkout register, grouping by aisle or location makes it easier to grab the right stuff and confirm you've grabbed all the stuff in one go.
- after a period of inactivity all items in the cart move back to the pantry automatically

Trello, at its core is designed for team project management, with many tasks occurring in parallel. The UI is designed to visualize the amount of work being done and where the bottlenecks live. It's very good at this! It even lets you design custom workflows to model the exact work being done. But there's always going to be a tensions in place working against it -- making apps that work for everything usually end up great at nothing, and its product market fit seems to be agile software development, so thats where its UI and feature set lean towards.

So IDK if you switch as much as slowly add to the pile of apps.
Yes, sorry, I could have been more clear.

I see a huge difference between the ability to physically break into a car and having a datastream to a company that can be used to unlock the car. The latter is much more problematic -- especially if I can't choose who does or does not have that ability.

This is all a subset of the problem that modern cars are surveillance platforms.
Agreed, I suspect we are closer to being on the same page than it originally seemed.

I’ve seen it fairly broad and wide, not just city kids but there is a concentration there.

It’s most apparent to me in the debates downstream of the “whole earth” movement. The eco movements of the previous few decades seemed to be fairly unified because tech wasn’t at a place where we could reasonably attempt to fix some of the problems humans had manifested.

Now that this tech is starting to shake out as viable, we are seeing a hard split in the eco movement.

One faction is advocating for humans to “just stop.”

The other is advocating for humans to try and solve the problems.

You see this in the de-extinction movement where eco-advocates are trying to bring back extinct keystone species that humans drove to extinction, in an attempt to restore the ecosystems we disrupted. You see serious eco-advocates shake out of the woodwork fighting the de-extinction movement on anti-human grounds.

To be fair, there are valid arguments against the de-extinction movement; but these aren’t the arguments I see most frequently.

You see the same arguments shake out for carbon capture, green energy, rocketry, colonizing other planets, etc.

I think the core of this split is that there were two currents of thought in the eco-movement that were so similar folks didn’t realize they disagreed until recently when “bringing extinct species back” became viable. One current of thought was that what humans did was bad. The other was that humans were bad.
Nobody said this was going to be easy.

Hey I recognize that name. He's the guy who wrote a book about some new cosmology he came up with from making a small modification to relativity that he claimed, among other things and IIRC, explained the Ganymede Mass Anomaly, that black holes were time-reversed white-holes from the other (time reversed from us) side of a hyperspherical universe, that the expansion of the universe is an illusion created by the curvature of said hpyersphere, and probably some other stuff I don't remember.

His work is attractive to laymen like myself, but any rational person has to wonder why, if his claims have any validity, he has been ignored completely by the wider physics community (which is to say, people who actually know shit, unlike most of us).

Your call to "watch the video and you'll never talk about galaxy rotation curves again" sounds a whole lot like similar statements made about such nonsense as "There are no forests on Earth", so if you honestly believe this guy should be taken seriously for some reason I would suggest a change in approach.

You're still missing my point. Let's consider murder. Of course "murdering a murderer" is less morally culpable than "murdering an innocent person", but it is still murder! We're not comparing the cost of one to the other, we're suggesting that there is no morally clean way of fixing the issue! Either we allow the murderer to go free (bad!) or we murder the murderer (also bad, but possibly less bad? Objectively, we've increased the murder rate!).

You keep suggesting that I am saying we should take no actions. All I am saying is that one cannot engineer society without committing at least a few sins.

Society cannot be rightly compared to a sports game. There is no referee in society. You may assume that is the state, but you would be incorrect. There are only players in this game.
Easy way? No. You can create a weird workaround though, on both mac and ios you share the link invite yourself, and then in share options you copy the link and then paste it in your note.

However, I don't really recommend this as now you have a bunch of icloud links littering your notes and can become confused easily trying to determine which notes are actually shared and which ones were just shared with yourself.

It's one of the biggest weaknesses of Apple Notes, and the only reason I (tried) searching for alternatives.
I mean, even if we were at peak oil that would still give us a still a ton of carbon left to extract.

When was this? AFAICT currency was issued by centralized bodies and those bodies had audit rights over almost anyone who used that currency. Seems to be the case since currency was invented, and is sort of implied by e.g. monarchs’ faces being printed on the currency itself.

> After all, Gaben’s primary product is essentially a DRM platform (one of the first online DRM platforms for that matter!), evidently he believes he can’t compete with piracy on service quality alone.

He absolutely can. Steam is DRM but it's the least shitty DRM implementation I've ever seen. I get very angry when corporations start rolling their own shitty stores instead of just using Steam for everything. I have games on my account that used to be sold on Steam but aren't available anymore because the corporation made their own store. It's hard to describe how aggravating that is.

Back in the day I'd buy games I already had on Steam just for the convenience of having them on Steam. There's a reason people don't remember what PC gaming used to be like before Steam and it's because Steam made them forget all about stuff like downloading multiple 500 MB incremental patches just to play online. Steam is essentially the Windows package manager.

Moon bricks. Ship regolith and dust into orbit from the moon, mix with water to make a moldable clay, form into bricks, bake inside the mother of all solar kilns and then drop them down on Earth. The water should be recoverable if the kiln is air tight. This would greatly reduce fuel needed on earth for construction. You could even make the reentry vehicle out of baked clay, only parachutes would need to be added. Extra points if you can make the whole thing buoyant and land them in the ocean.

--I like the tabs.

Tabs let everyone see the indent width they prefer. Some people get eye strain with indent width 2. This is why spaces are evil.

--I like the tooling surrounding it. LSP server. code formatter gofmt. Build tools to X-compile for anything.

--I like the C-style error handling. Doing a check after every action with the potential for failure. Probably the biggest turn off for most people becuase errors bleed into the main flow of the program. Maybe for things like CRUD apps it's not ideal. But for really critical fundamental things error handling should be a first class part of the flow/logic, not just something that's chucked off, hidden away. Trade offs in all things though.
Hi, I'm seeing a lot of people misunderstanding and/or disagreeing with your points so I just wanted to say that I agree with you. I've always liked the taste of meat, but the older I've gotten, the more the idea of killing something, and then consuming it, has increasingly bothered me. It has led me to try stretches of vegetarianism over the past couple years.

I definitely wouldn't be able to kill an animal with a knife, unless I was starving.

I do agree that part of the problem is that the eating of animals has become so abstracted away (i.e. chicken tenders) that most people aren't even truly aware of what it is they're doing. I like the knife + license idea.
