So, my mental model of American conservatism (I'm not American) was always that they were _relatively_ thick-skinned as right-wingers go; George W took a fair bit of public criticism, say, without seeming to get particularly upset about it. Trump didn't react well to criticism, obviously, but he's kind of a baby, and a bit of a special case; extremely privileged and not a career politician. I've got to say I'm kind of surprised that the rank and file are so sensitive; I kind of thought this was largely _gone_ in western democracy. Feels very, very old-fashioned (or, as mentioned, Soviet).

I sometimes wonder if I'm missing something fundamental about how Americans think. This behaviour would be interpreted (beyond being anti-democratic, but parts of the right wing won't necessarily care about that) as showing extreme weakness here. Like, to the extent that a politician wouldn't do it, even if they _could_, because would be very politically damaging; "my opponent is a weird baby" is a stupid talking point to hand to your opponent.

Why quite sad ? There's nothing like crawling a collection of physical records or books and remind "Oh, I remember when I used to listen to this like crazy" and being able to simply put the record in a player and listen it"

That kind of serendipity is just not possible with digital collections, especially when records get deletted from services without notices, or you have to browse deep in a .mp3 collection you afforded not to lose by not backing it up.

Quadrant

Well, there's your problem - it's not a science or anthropology journal it's an unabashedly conservative wank fest for overly educated private school chums that utterly hate the proles and Australian aborigines.

> According to University of Michigan professor of anthropology Aram Yengoyan:

Who has spent how much time in Australian aboriginal societies?

> Contemporary European observers of nomadic, tribal Aborigines were in apparent agreement that about 30 per cent of new-born Aboriginal children were routinely killed.

Again, no surprises there - there's an extremely long list of things that early European observers agreed upon about aborigines ... and most of them were garbage, worthless save as justification for having repeated massacres of local groups upset about being pushed from their lands.

> According to Samuel Gason (1845–97), an early settler of the Flinders Ranges, writing of the Dieyerie tribe of the Cooper’s Creek area between South Australia and Queensland, “about thirty per cent are murdered by their mother at birth”.

These are the same early settlers frequently associated with poisoning water holes and killing the very people they spent some time defaming as barbaric.

The problem with all these accounts is that many aboriginal groups continued through until recent times with their traditional practices, in the Western Desert [1], far north Queensland, remote Kimberley regions (where I'm from) etc. and anthropologists didn't find much in the way of actual baby eating.

What you have in the Quadrant article is a collection of all the European "Aboriginals are heathen scum" gossip of times past bundled up and presented as fact.

Your second link, the paper on scihub by Collishaw (1978) is, umm, kind of long winded and noncommittal - it passively rejects the 30% figure thus:

both reported that 30% of the children were killed at birth.
These contrast with other reports from S.W. Australia of infrequent infanticide.

and then never really commits to a frequency figure other than discussing at length the kinds of things that happened at much the same frequency in European countries at the same time - deformed children were often killed at birth, in hard times with not enough to eat weaker children would die to allow stronger children to survive.

It's an odd paper that has a few sound sources (Spencer .. good source, but unsurprisingly had a strong European point of view) but largely appears to repeat a lot of settler gossip.

> It's well documented that the word salarius is derived from salt, it's just very unclear why.

It’s not unlikely that the connection between these were was already merely etymological by that time and made barely any more sense to the Romans as it does to us.
Not necessarily disagreeing with this approach - but an interesting other side to this that should be considered: what about candidates who look great on their public profiles - real achievements and credible expertise - because they focus more on their public profile than their main job?

Completely anecdotal and probably another extreme of the coin - but I'm curious if folks have some experience with this and how to spot this case.
> Do you already own all of the music you are going to listen to for your life?

Probably not, but given that I spent until the end of the CD age to collect music I do have enough to last me for several lifetimes. I'm a bit strange in that I will listen to music over and over again until I have it internalized, and even after that. I don't need something new every day.
> Is the service forever? Nope, probably not, but that's an issue for later me.

I don’t want to fuck over later me, so I’m still buying music. Probably not saving money, but I also get some music not on streaming services.
Pacific Bluefin Tuna (and all bluefin tuna) should be avoided. IUCN isn't really the best forum for advice on this as it takes into account government and industry interests - by the time they mark a food species as on the red list it's very, very late.

The Monterey Aquarium seafood guide is the best that I'm aware of and they recommend avoiding all bluefin tuna:

Milwaukee is a weird town (disclosure: my home town, but left awhile ago). If it wasn't so close to Chicago, people would talk about it like Seattle or Portland. It's quirky with a world-class art museum, the largest music festival in the world every summer, a very reasonable cost of living, world-class universities, and amazing outdoor opportunities sitting directly on Lake Michigan and being a 30 minute drive from tons of massive state parks.
Molten salt reactors manage to be expensive for perfectly normal engineering reasons though. The salt is highly corrosive, meaning you need tons and tons of extremely expensive piping that can withstand extremely high temperatures and extremely corrosive environments.

There's a reason none of _those_ have been built either. No amount of red tape would make them unviably expensive if the end product was cheap enough to run, but it isn't.

Also I should mention, part of what makes them passively safe is there is a plug at the bottom that melts if the reactor overheats. This is easy to bypass, put something over the plug that won't melt.

No, GP is correct.

Advertising Standards Authority:

> The alcohol section of the Codes applies to ‘alcoholic drinks’, which are those above 0.5% ABV. Drinks at or below 0.5% are, for the purposes of the Codes, considered to be non-alcoholic.

https://www.asa.org.uk/news/advertising-zero-alcohol-product...

You're right about this though:

> There's another rule that says you can't sell a drink that has the same brand name as an alcoholic drink to children, so children can't buy alcohol-free Heineken (which has 0.05% alcohol), for example.

and it's 'worse' - you can't buy 'no-secco' or 'apple fizz' or whatever they're marketed as, even though they're absolutely nil alcohol, not removed, it was never there. But obviously other cordials and carbonated soft drinks like San Pelligrino, Shloer etc. are fine, just because they're not made to look like a sparkling wine bottle.
> The greatest thing about technology is that it will ultimately enable superabundance.

We already live in a world of superabundance. It's just not spread evenly.
Is this not inevitable?

No corporation is going to push Reduce and Reuse over Recycle. It’s incompatible with growth (in a narrow sense).

So Nvidia is going to pretty much corner the market for a long time? This bit I expected but was still sad to read. Surely we would benefit from competition. It would probably take a lot of investment from AMD to make that happen, I imagine.

> AMD GPUs are great in terms of pure silicon: Great FP16 performance, great memory bandwidth. However, their lack of Tensor Cores or the equivalent makes their deep learning performance poor compared to NVIDIA GPUs. Packed low-precision math does not cut it. Without this hardware feature, AMD GPUs will never be competitive.

Edit: what about Intel arc GPU? Any hope there?
> Malthusian ideas kept coming back of course—they still surround us—but the growth genie has been out of the bottle ever since and the mindset of abundance has been a part of our culture. Never again can the concept of progress be dismissed as impossible.

Mathusian ideas are to the current concept of Planetary Boundaries and the need for a sustainability transition what Aristotelian physics was to modern physics: A flawed but directionally correct early recognition and internalization that in material terms (and for the foreseable future) we (homo sapiens) form a closed biosphere system that must satisfy certain constraints.

The constraints that this ground truth puts on the human condition are variable, technology dependent and still somewhat poorly understood (e.g tipping points) but they cannot be eliminated.

Unhinged "free market" enthousiasts, technosolutionists and assorted economic growth-uber-alles ideologies are decoupled from reality and (given this mind set is the dominant political and decision framework globally) increasingly terminally dangerous. Their simplistic agenda hiddes fake and unsavory axioms such as trickle-down-economics and being relaxed about destabilizing inequalities that if further aggravated will be the primary path towards a new dark ages.

A certain form of abundance is logically possible. We can obviously have in abundance anything that is compatible with long-term biosphere equilibrium and that is quite a lot.

The missing catalyst are social technologies that will help us collectively create and enjoy what is plenty and equitably share what is not. The ideology expressed in this article, the adulation of past social inventions will never get us there. To use the physics analogy again, it is akin to Newtonian physics (it did solve many problems within its domain of applicability) whereas we actually live in a quantum mechanical and relativistic universe. The toolkit needs to be replaced or expanded as appropriate.

Unfortunately there is no hint yet that we are in the process of inventing new and adapted socio-economic and political systems that will get us to a sustainable abundance phase. The world is run by vested interests that will gladly sacrifice the future to maintain current privilige.
All things equal, I’d rather hire plumber who has a blogpost where they tinker with some plumbing systems.
The hole in revenue in the early 2000 was because pirating was the only real option to get music online, you had no other choice.

The music industry was too stubborn to consider selling online and preferred to keep selling CDs, they were very very late to adapt and lost some revenue because of that.

Some claim "primitive" people only needed 3-5 hours per day (https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_affluent_society), I expect perhaps less in times of great abundance. Leaving plenty of time for knapping - if that's what you want to do.

IMHO abundance solves itself, as population grows past carrying capacity, leading to famine, war, conquest and death. (The cycle being eventually broken by TV then reddit).

Division of labour is only necessary to create time in an economy detached from survival.
> attempt or willingness to try to solve the problem first on their own… indication of where the problem comes from, why it might be interesting

None of that is required to ask questions on stackoverflow. For details, read “How do I ask a good question?” and “What types of questions should I avoid asking?” help articles. You’re inventing arbitrary restrictions.

Another thing is, “why it might be interesting” is subjective. Personally, I found the question interesting, that’s why I have answered it. You probably think otherwise, but note it only takes 3-5 votes to kill the question. Any question at all is guaranteed to have at least 3-5 people on that site who find it uninteresting, opinion-based, need more focus, duplicate, etc.

> Two very big and different problem, asking the audience to do them both.

Two big problems don’t have solutions which can be both explained in 3 short sentences. As you can see from my answer, the problem formulated in that question has such solution.

> I already showed more willingness to try to solve this problem than OP

You have not. However, you have demonstrated willingness to delete interesting questions based on arbitrary and subjective criteria, despite the question is perfectly in line with the stackoverflow guidelines. Which BTW is very on-topic, because I think that’s the main reason for the fall of SO being discussed here.

I would call your take 'jaded' rather than pessimistic. And I don't mean to be critical in saying that; it's quite understandable that people get jaded in this industry. But I think there are still very much hacker cultures out there and green shoots still sprouting in not highly visible corners. You have to have the enthusiasm and idealism to go searching for them; both things that we tend to have more of when we are younger. Or you have to have been very careful throughout your career to have only worked in places and on things that you believed in and were enthusiastic about, and thus kept your enthusiasm and idealism alive.

Well, none of what Alex says here is likely relevant to this discovery, because you'll need to build gigantic defect-free crystals to drive large load through and we have no such tech. There are likely other show-stoppers but I'm not expert, so that's the thing I've noticed.
Ask HN: How do you utilize flexible work hours without feeling guilt?
I work in a tech startup remotely and I have flexible work hours; meaning I can work whenever in the day without anyone batting an eye.

This, among other things, means that I can do a lot of things in the day + get stuff done.

I could get up early, hike a mountain, eat breakfast, put in some work, go for a run, put in some more work, go grab lunch, a coffee, and so on. But I always feel constrained by "working hours" and always feel guilt if I'm not inside my home office during daytime.

Can anyone give tips & suggestions? How do you utilize flexible work hours without guilt?

Cognitive Biases in Software Development (2022)
As someone who is also on the spectrum, the following common behavior in a company baffles me.

The company will exhibit the following behaviors at the same time:

- they will organize a bunch of social events, full of drinking and games, fly colleagues from all over the world to some exotic location

- will refuse to increase your salary to match inflation citing lack of funds (which were somehow available when flying 200 people to AUSTRALIA)

- will work on deadend projects to further the career of X-middle manager/whim of CEO due to something they read. Will overhire people for said projects. At same time, main parts of business can often be underfunded and understaffed

- will cut off full departments when said deadend projects reach their inevitable dead end

- will, at random holidays, give away branded bags, pens, socks, usbs and chocolates, but still have no budget for a salary increase

- will be having a great financial year with 15% growth and send emails of the type: "Good job Team!" but salary increases will not happen or be confined to the 1-2% range.

After some time the cognitive dissonance becomes too much and you simply stop caring.

If anything cassettes served as a music discovery service before we had the ability to share links online. Pretty much everything I ever bought I discovered because someone borrowed me a tape or sent me one from abroad.
CDs used to be crazy expensive. They cost much more than what was reasonable. Today I have access to untold thousands of records for €10 per month. That money (non inflation adjusted) would have bought me only a single record back in the day.

One could argue that the current price of music is too low. But the price they tried to extract back then was completely unreasonable and I think those excesses contributed heavily to the current situation.
The gold standard was far from stable - just look at the US’s economic history - it was continually swinging between inflation and deflation with regular crises, panics, recessions and depressions.

The question you need to ask is “would there generally be a relationship between the amount of gold on hand and the amount of money required in the economy?” There is no reason why the answer to that question would be “yes” over an extended period of time - you can set up some kind of sensible exchange rate at the start but it eventually (and invariably) gets out of whack.

It’s the same with fixed exchange rates, pegged currencies, etc. - these things tend to exist for a time and eventually don’t - because they’re ultimately not sustainable.
I remember a similar read. I think it also helped that armies become more disciplined, could march longer (coffee was a stimulant vs. alcohol), also the workforce had fewer errors. Any chance that somebody knows the reference?
This kind of attitude is absurd and counterproductive. There's a long history of people demonising particular food groups and it gets in the way of developing actually healthy food attitudes. It used to be fat, now it's sugar.

Sugar is not "literally poison". What it literally is is the body's primary energy source and a requirement for survival. The fact that eating too much of it is bad for you doesn't make it poisonous. Everything has a median lethal dose (LD50), including water.

You can perfectly healthily enjoy a moderate amount of sugar as part of a varied diet just like you can healthily eat a moderate amount of any food as part of a varied diet. Extreme diet fads and the demonisation of entire food groups work against moderation and variety which are what we actually need in our eating habits.

None of this is to say there isn't a huge sugar problem in modern society, ofc. What I'm saying is the problem is excess, not the consumption of it at all, and demonising it as "poison" and attempting to eliminate it entirely is not the way to bring about moderation.
