The Soviet Union saw expansion of heavy industry at the expense of suppression the progenitors of long-term industrial expansion, which is human capital.

Wages plummetted throughout the 20s to meet the central government's industrial goals:

https://www.marxists.org/history/etol/newspape/ni/vol03/no03...

>At 306 kronen, which are equivalent to 15 gold rubles, the present average Russian wage is about 68% of the average wage of the Russian factory worker under Czarism.

That's not a successful industrialization by my criteria.

Japan was had a very liberal economy post WW2. There is much evidence dispelling the mythologized account of MITI's role in the expansion of the Japanese economy through industrial policy:

https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc1/JapanandtheMythofMITI.h...

The article notes much more foundational properties of the 50s/60s Japanese economy, like a smaller portion of private sector output being taxed to support the public sector, as more likely causes of its growth:

>>"The fact that the tax burden is unusually low by the standards of other developed countries may alone be a significant factor in the explanation of the high rate of private saving and investment in Japan." From 1951 to 1970, while Japan's real GNP was growing at an average of 9 percent per year, total national and local taxes (excluding social security) fell from 22.4 percent of national income to 18.9 percent. This left more money for people to save and invest. Compare Japan's situation with the United States, where the proportion rose from 28.5 percent to 31.3 percent. Interestingly, Japan's two decades of greatest postwar growth were also its decades of lowest taxes. During the seventies, as Japan's taxes rose to 22.8 percent of national income in 1980, real GNP growth declined to only 4.8 percent. Higher taxes weren't the only reason for this deteriorating performance, of course; oil price increases also contributed.

This graph demonstrates that Japan had the lowest levels of social welfare spending as a percentage of GDP among the advanced economies.

I do agree that crinkly candy wrappers and noisy chips in a movie are annoying, but not extremely so.

But I do get irrationally angry when people talk during movies - to a degree that makes it impossible for me to watch MST3k[0] at all. I like the premise, the jokes are funny etc - but I just can't tolerate people talking over a movie :D

These do not have a HUD.

You can use them for voice commands, or to take pictures of whatever you happen to look at. That makes them very limited even just as cameras - a fairly large proportion of the pictures I take involve moving the camera (my phone) into
angles I wouldn't get my head into with comfort.

If cheap enough they could be fun as "I want a picture too fast to get my phone out and happen to have my sunglasses on" cameras, but that's not exactly something you'd expect to get you huge use. If they were cheap enough and they didn't upload everything to Facebook (which they apparently do; EDIT: someone is saying elsewhere this is optional, which makes it marginally better if I trusted Facebook not to change that down the road), it might be something you'd think is a fun "nice to have" you might not use very often, but hardly something many people will go out of their way to buy at a large added cost.

Well... maybe they aren't particularly useful to the average person? I get the feeling that Meta might be ignoring the possibility that this isn't actually a sensible product. You still need to carry your smartphone, the camera isn't as good as strapping a GoPro to you head, many won't be into the idea of varying sunglasses non-stop. It's a cool demo, but what's the use case exactly?

I can see them being useful in a professional setting, like a plumper or a mechanic who needs to be able to show an issue to a customer. I just wouldn't make them into sun glasses, nor would they need the Ray-Ban branding. The reality of products like this may be that they are primarily useful in work environments, but that's not a sexy market to be in for Meta. Maybe they should have teamed up with Black & Decker or Bosch.
That's true, but superconduction would change things from being planar to being cubic and that alone would give a huge boost to speed. Because one main limitation is to be able to get rid of the heat and building 'up' makes that very hard right now.

You either use Firefox, Edge (fork of Chrome), or Chrome today. Serious companies and the average person only use Chrome or Edge. Anyone serious about privacy is using Tor. Hipsters acting like they're serious about privacy are compiling Firefox or Chromium from source.

"Selling users off" only matters to anyone trying to push some unheard of and less-secure forks of Chrome or Firefox. Nobody notable code-reviews theses browsers, you're at the mercy at some random person or small group to play catch-up with upstream browsers, and you're ultimately still locked into somebody else's decisions.

I use Firefox because double-clicking code one-liners from my wiki doesn't add a newline when pasted into Terminals on Linux, which I use on desktop for the challenge of it. Windows Terminal on Windows doesn't have this issue from any browser and I'm free to use Edge or Chrome there.

My "dual booting for occasional games" Windows for some reason stopped working, and it was quicker to figure out gaming on Linux.

Yes, but our ESG scores are impeccable.
There is a problem unique to linux. The linux don't have a stable userspace runtime environment agreed by all parties. Every distro decides their own. This is both a gift and a curse.

The pros of deciding your own runtime environment allows you to customize the system more and even run Linux on machine that has very strict resource limit.

The cons is that it is almost impossible to run a software everywhere without bundle literally anything you use into own binary. The steam itself do it(steam runtime), but I don't know if it is even close to a complete resolution because it don't really solve the problem for softwares outside of steam.

What I am suggesting _is_ to have a speedy investigation, that is up-front paid by the accused employer. Force the employer to pay for hiring/engaging people to quickly investigate the case.

And no, I have no problem with forcing employers to prove their innocence instead of the other way around. There's no reason to treat business and natural persons the same way.

Well we'd need cheaper panels for that. Currently they last like what, 30 years and take 3 years to pay off the energy it took to make them? That gives them a roughly a 9x return on investment. You need at least 30-40x to maintain our civilization as-is. Crude oil provides about 100x return. Luckily offshore wind is almost over 30x.
Not sure what part of my original comment implies that. In fact, I explicitly said it applied to both genders.

In many parts of the world (China, Thailand, Vietnam etc just to name a few), chastity, monogamy etc are considered desired attribute in a partner. Only in Western Hemisphere (influenced by American Pie type of subculture) you see monogamy and chastity equalized with “lack of experience” or even “loser” characterization. The campus frat party culture obviously make it necessary to tie every kid of age 18-23 how “desired” they are with how many partners they had sex with.
Look at all the comments in this thread of the HNer in question. They are free to have an opinion on who to marry, or even of people. Nonetheless, I can also freely have the opinion of someone being a shitty human based on his beliefs, especially when that belief is objectifying women.
Hello World – Official Image
Disagreements about the meaning of the English word "marriage" arent even political disagreements. No more so than any other disagreements about what words mean. Disagreeing that marriage can, by definition, include homosexual relationships isnt "treatment" of anyone. You dont treat someone differently by saying "I think you should be able to have a legally recognised relationship but I refuse to allow language to be actively and deliberately manipulated".
I don't think the issue is necessarily "sloppy seconds" but more the fact that people have a tendency to compare experiences...

That can put a strain on relationships.

You shouldn't be made to feel you have to compete against their former flings in all the different aspects.

If you think the Q-adjacent populist right is scary now... wait until governments actually make serious attempts to deal with CO2 emissions. Like, beyond the soft incentives, mild carbon taxes that do little, and the subsidies for electric cars etc? Like, real "we're gonna shut down large parts of the oil & gas sector" or "we're going to ban coal mining"...

Riots, revolts, assassinations. Secession attempts from oil producing states and provinces. Wars. And not revolts in favour of carbon caps, but against it.

The metaphorical ground has been covered in ideological mines by powerful energy sector interests, and the living has been too "easy" and the needed transition too "hard" (unprofitable) for some people to bear the change. They'd rather things go up in flames while they still hold their piece of the pie.

Sorry to be so bleak, but I'm angry.

That's problematic for zooplankton.

Also, a big issue is the west Antarctica glacier. If sea ice sheets stay this swallow until next summer, that might accelerate it's demise. Artica is done and we can't do anything about it, but most of the ice is sea ice and the Groenland glacier aren't that big (compared to Antarctica), and the sea level rises caused by Artica melting won't be really high (1 to 3 meter max). If the west Antarctica glacier melt (or slide), it will be 4 to 5 times that.
It's not just about transmission losses, though over time those add up. It's also about the cost of the rest of the infrastructure, which is in part because you're dealing with very high voltages and the various step-up/step-down requirements depending on what you're trying to do (long haul, local grid, last mile).

To be fair, this is an application, so the score might be more grounded in reality. The CVEs I encounter as a developer are always insane and generally massive overreach from security to product design.

What seems to be made up?
“The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”

“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.
“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.
Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”

It's also worth mentioning that room temperature superconductor "discoveries" happen a lot, and have always turned out to be a disappointment.

It's been considered to be within the same bermuda triangle of scientific vaporware that demarked by quantum computers performing useful tasks, fusion power generation, that sort of thing. Always just around the corner and dude trust me it totally works in my lab. It's basically a meme in physics.

Room temperature superconductivity is not demonstrably impossible like a perpetual motion machine, but mainstream press picking up on yet another set of amazing claims in this field tends to (deservedly) lead to a lot of eye rolling.

The consequence is that if you've made actual progress in the field, you'd better be very sure you are right and able to back it up.

The government, through JCAHO, also helped create the opioid crisis, with their push for the healthcare system to treat pain as the "fifth vital sign". Note that while JCAHO is supposedly a non-profit, JCAHO accreditation is a requirement for receiving medicare and medicaid funding from the government, which makes it a pretty big stick to beat the healthcare system with. Of course, now that large amounts of patient harm are recognized as a result, the regulators and bureaucrats are extremely quick to dodge any responsibility, summarized well here with quotes from various JCAHO publications in the past:

A lot of the criticism comes down to the fact that the ideas seem objectively terrible. I don’t mean for a design standpoint. Look how awful smartphones have been? Wearables, at least currently just seem like even more intrusive, physically uncomfortable smartphones. Especially when Google or Meta are the ones designing them. I just don’t see a world where a Meta wearable is anything but terrible.

> I haven't answered the phone in years.

I’m not trying to sound snide, but maybe you’ve not had many major life events during a few years?

If you move to a new house or apartment for example, you might quickly find that the luxury of not taking any calls quickly leads to missed appointments and extra paperwork. I know this because when I moved last time, phone calls started pouring in from electricians, movers, landlords and who knows what else. The entire project would have been impossible without answering a regular phone call.
