Hard disagree; companies should be responsible for harm caused by their products regardless of whether it's "legal". This is "loophole thinking" and it only benefits bad actors.
The increasing probability that humanity will become desperate enough to stave off climate change by pumping sulfur into the atmosphere follows from our ongoing failure to stop pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

What the rational on stablecoins? The Howey test requires an expectation of profit which I think isn't even debatable there (also an "investment" which seems dubious, but at least debatable if you don't define an investment as also requiring an expectation of profit).

> Nobody has control. You cannot control the people sitting next to you, or their children, or the security line, or the prepackaged sandwich options

I was just saying this two days ago to my girlfriend while we were sitting at a bar in a casino where I lit a cigarette: This place is the exact opposite of a hospital or an airport. I love this place because they want me to enjoy myself. I'm still under some kind of control, but unlike a hospital or airport, I'm not likely to die here, and as long as I'm within the boundaries of reasonable behaviour I probably won't even be assaulted. What I hate about airports and hospitals is that they now force you to relinquish total control over your own sphincters in order to be there; that, I think, is why so many people die in hospitals. The loss of control.

In attempting to regain that control, we drink; thus airport bars (and lounges and rewards cards).

Other than that: Flying causes gas. Drinking helps reduce it, and makes it less disgusting when everyone around you farts.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you said the company would be sold off in individual parts to pay the debt.

My point is that selling it off as a complete company or mini companies doesn't really impact the liability. Both would be possible. What matters from a debt or liability perspective is the terms of the settlement.

In reality, the company is probably worth more as a single entity, sorry I wouldn't be surprised if it stays that way. That would maximize the recovery of damages and repayment of debt.

This post screams classic Friday afternoon news dump to me. But at this point, it doesn't really matter. I'm beginning to grow very tired of Reddit. When I signed up almost 9 years ago, it felt like a community where I was surrounded by others who were genuinely curious, helpful, and smarter than me. Now it feels like a slightly better Facebook, even if you exclude the constantly interjected political comments. The HN community feels to me today what Reddit felt like 9 years ago.
Most people right now are just trying to prevent nuclear reactors from being shut down. Despite being 30% of US energy it is 50% of our zero carbon energy. The west coast has done a good job decarbonizing without nuclear, and those numbers are more 10%/20%. Shutting down Diablo Canyon won't do much as the reactor provides <8% of Cal-ISO's energy portfolio (but <1% of emissions) and the change to gas has already been made but if you look at places like TVA (South) it is more 60%/80% (with hydro storage accounting for 80% of the green emissions). Mid-ITSO hasn't replaced their nuclear with renewables, nor has many other places.

Even if you don't believe nuclear is the way to go (which is fine) there is no doubt that when the plants have been decommissioned they have been replaced with fossil fuels. This is wild to the nuclear people. But it is why many (pro and anti-nuclear) people have started to advocate for a "fossil fuel first, nuclear second" strategy. After all, aren't we after carbon emissions? If that's our goal, then the conversation is just if we should build more or if renewables are enough. That's mundane, nuanced, and nit-picky. In this case the two groups shouldn't fight. They should form a coalition, at least for now, and be united against the fossil fuel industry (maybe there's a reason they fund Sierra Nevada). But if we're after cheaper electricity and don't care about carbon, then yeah I do think it makes sense to go after nuclear now and prioritize it. We just need to be clear on what our objectives are. Maybe we forget our actual goals because there's nothing "to do" when we agree and only when we disagree. But we shouldn't ignore our similarities. I for one am more concerned with the climate than a few dollars a year on my electric bill, as I know I pay far more than that for the carbon contamination.

Philosophers seem to delight in the idea that the common good is hard to define. I'm an economist. I don't see much wiggle room. The wiggle room that exists is:

(1) How much do you care about whom? In particular, do you care equally about everyone, or are you a jerk?

(2) How do you weight the relative value of things like money, health, longevity, entertainment?

(3) At what rate does the marginal utility of such things diminish?

Okay maybe that's a lot of wiggle room. Still, under any reasonable set of weights, making millions of people sick is not worth the money 3M made.
Being flush with cash doesn't take away from an engineering hole. They announced the Cybertruck quite a while ago, and the problems described in the report are not just a matter of fine tuning.

The rule isn’t “never use an API”.

If you’re a search company you shouldn’t build your business on the Google search API, if you’re a compute provider you shouldn’t build your business on the AWS API, if you’re a payment provider you shouldn’t build your business on the Stripe API, etc. So the pedantic version of the rule is like, don’t build your business on just repackaging another company’s API, I guess?

No, it requires energy to be added to the system from outside the system. Which is precisely what you cannot do with the universe as a whole. That's what makes such thought experiments meaningless for the universe as a whole.

I remember reading somewhere that there was a single writer behind most of the distinctive, weird setting of Morrowind (and I think the first two Elder Scrolls, too?) and he didn't work on IV and V. The person or people who replaced him didn't have that kind of creativity, or weren't allowed to express it, so we got Generic Fantasy instead of all the delightful weirdness we should have (some of the early lore about other parts of Tamriel is nuts, I wish we'd gotten to see more of it).
They also store them without any distributed software supply chain integrity. One compromised person and the whole system fails.

I wish they were less concerned with where they artifacts are stored and more about how nixpkg can prove they are authentic and who authored them.

Nix has so many innovations over other other distributions but the massive step backwards in supply chain integrity still makes it too dangerous to use for any system you would not trust strangers with ssh access to.

France and Germany had a lot of trade in 1913. Russia and Ukraine had a lot of trade in 2013. Every civil war ever fought, was between sides that did a lot of "trade". The Opium War (no small conflict) was fought over trade policy. The U.S.A. and Canada/UK did a lot of trade prior to the War of 1812. Napoleon's invasion of Russia was done despite the fact that the two sides had a lot of trade. Trade has never been a very reliable deterrent to war.

To the extent that there is any relationship, it is that countries sometimes try to avoid depending on trade with someone they may end up at war with soon; the causality works the opposite way.
Reminds me of a tactic I tried with telemarketing scams when on paternity leave. I got so many calls like "Your Social Security Number is about to be revoked" that I developed an entire persona with a name, address, SSN, income, debts, and other factors. I spent several baby-naps looking up jobs, apartments, car loan interest rates, and other factors to make the persona as realistic as possible. My wife talked me out of buying a $5 Visa gift card with cash so I could give the scammers a credit card number and keep them talking longer.

> I don't see why e.g. a YouTube content creator shouldn't be able to have "a Reddit"

I've been building a platform to target this specific thing. It seems like the biggest asset that creators are creating are the communities that form around them and their niche. In order for a creator to capitalize on this they currently tend to leverage a combination of different platforms like Patreon, Discord and Reddit with their community often times spread out amongst the different platforms. What we've done is combine everything into a singular place to allow them to offer their communities as a product alongside their content.

NixOS is not for the impatient. Maintaining your system configuration is an exercise in software development like any other - if you lack rigor or discipline, your codebase will become painful to work with. Nothing is ever one shell incantation away - it has to be carefully architected into the existing system.

That being said, once you get the hang of things, you reap amazing benefits:

- You can clone your system to any machine, and immediately have an identical environment

- You can share system configurations as code (declare the means for hosting a website in its repository, for example)

- You can use a fully-fledged programming language to configure any part of your system

- You can make use of an extensive ecosystem of easily composable, prebuilt NixOS modules

- You can seamlessly integrate with Nix, allowing for ephemeral development environments and shells with packages, eliminating much of the need for imperative package management

- Everything in a Nix-based system must be derived strictly from (lockfiled) inputs, making the reproducibility guarantees incredibly strong (barring any network errors or resources being taken down)

- The declarative nature of anything Nix-based means that every change is documented - your system never shifts from the source of truth, compared to other distros where discipline is required to maintain reproducibility

- Nix is so robust that you could even nuke your filesystems on every log out, if you'd like

>90% of apps are people that played around with the API a bit for fun or run a small hobby-bot or something. Of course those stay below the limit (and for many of those, 100 qpm is indeed quite generous). It's also entirely irrelevant to the small number of apps that non-dev end users use.

I love this article, but I’d like to add that it is in fact possible to reach the “keep” as the author has called it through emotion.

Emotion is very important to memory and steering thoughts as many studies have shown. [0]

For example: Advertisers, sales people, politicians, coaches, military leaders, charismatic leaders, etc. all use emotion to change minds, create memories and influence behavior.

For an interesting look at the power of this approach, see the documentary “Century of the Self” by the BBC. It’s very interesting and perhaps even eye opening.

> When, for a couple of months in 1992? There are always a few people who dislike new ideas but that one was popular from the beginning because it was so easy to understand: just like ordering from a catalog but you get your stuff a week earlier and in most cases can see more info about it before buying.

I think you were in a pretty distinct milieu if you thought this was a popular idea in 1992, or any time before, say, 1998.

> I worked at a web development company in the mid to late 90s and businesses were all over this concept. It saved them money having to pay people to answer the phone or open envelopes, let them do things they couldn’t afford with printed catalogs, and avoided a whole ton of problems around payment.

Yes, I imagine that the companies you interfaced with as an employee of an webdev company in the late 90s were all over this. That is not the same thing as it being generally popular.
I don't pay a lot of attention to things like revenue and the amount of active users, but I think that by those metrics Huffman has been a pretty successful CEO. It looks like he regrets selling Reddit so cheap the first time, and has had growth as his main objective since returning as CEO. I guess taking in a lot of venture capital pretty much forced him to do that as well. New Reddit and the official apps has brought in a lot of new users, while changing what the site is. I don't think they value their old users particularly high, there's probably not a lot of them compared to the whole user base, and getting rid of them is a calculated move.
