Yes. The reputations risk on a company level from a local taxi company is much lower than Uber.

Have you ever had to worry about paying a penny more than you were quoted by the Uber app? Have you ever had to worry about whether you could use your credit card?

And anti competitive how? The taxi companies were horrible and they deserved to die
That's disingenuous. I don't believe you would pick something just because someone likes it. Almost everything that has been built is liked by somebody.

> Amazon is full of counterfeit or cheap products.

It's trivial to select who you want to buy from on Amazon.

I've been using their retail service for 25 years and have had only a few orders out of hundreds be messed up. And they always correct mistakes and make it right.

Stop selecting terrible sellers to buy from. Buy from Amazon. It takes seconds to switch over to them as the seller. That nearly entirely eliminates the problem you're describing with minimal hassle.

Barbour is the main one. Then Belstaff.

Barbour traditionally made "oil coats" for fishermen. Then later waxed cotton jackets for farmers in the UK. They last for generations, you can rewax and repair them.

Belstaff made waxed motorcycle wear.

Both do amazingly high quality, if expensive, modern waxed and oiled cotton or canvas jackets and clothing.

Being open about drug use, as long as it's not the hard drugs, I could see someone getting a pass for.
> There usually isn't a lot to walk off of, but its rare that the base model will be available at all!

That isn't true for much of the US. The base model 3 is readily available, even in inventory. At the end of the quarter, it is available with discounts as well.

Not only that, but because of the way the battery supply chain works, there are advantages to Tesla for you to buy the base model. The base uses LFP cells, whereas higher trims use 2170s from either NV or imports. Selling the base model in its current config frees up higher energy density cells for higher trims.

> This part is always lost on the "legalize everything" crowd.

These types of generalizations are usually built of straw and mud, but I'll go ahead and respond as someone in said crowd with a "no it's not." There's an implicit assumption here that increased usage is worse than the effects of prohibition, but that's at minimum highly debatable. I tend to think increased usage of a regulated and taxable substance by a well educated and supported populous is significantly preferable to prohibition and scare tactics, to say nothing of the wide swath of wide reaching knock on effects the latter has like powerful cartels/gangs, militarized police actions in response, people being groomed as convicts for their use, etc.

I'm not at all inclined to sweep the dangers of hard drugs under the rug, I'm all for looking at their effects and impacts head on, and indeed I think the legalization route is the best route to do so. I think individuals should be given sole stewardship of their own conscious experience, by endogenous or exogenous means, and society's best chance of maximizing those individual choices is through well thought education, regulation, and support (which is likely to all be cheaper and more tractable than prohibition is).

Not really a lie, but most of that wealth is on paper. Those people do not have $10M cash, they $10M in investments at today's fair market value.

Some amount of property appreciation is due to lower interest rates allowing home buyers to roll up their equity over time as they buy bigger, more expensive houses. That works when interest goes down, but the inverse...should be predictable.
Just to put a dose of reality here, Prop 13 property taxes reset on sales (there are exceptions when selling to children of the owners but generally they reset) and property turnover rates in California are generally in excess of 10%. What that means is that pretty much all of the taxes are reset every 10 years or so. This is more true of "desirable" places to live (Bay Area, LA, San Diego) than say "less desirable". I have encouraged (without success so far) the County Assessor's office to publish the "net" tax year (average, median, and mode) for the county to help people better understand this.
I recall some years ago a discussion we had with an environmentalist at a time when the rules governing the use of PVC insulation in household power wiring were being changed in that PVC was being replaced with another plastic that was usable but not nearly as good as the PVC.

During the discussion the environmentalist said to the effect "we're working towards eliminating (banning) chlorine from the planet". We were so shocked at what she said that we decided never to mention the element by name again and only referred to it as element 17.

This experience was a salient lesson what can happen when ignorance and popular notions mix. No doubt PFAS-type chemicals have been grossly abused as were CFCs and they need tight regulation but as we saw with the Montreal Protocol simply banning most CFCs outright rather than introducing strict regulation caused many problems. This led to certain chemicals becoming unavailable that had no effective but 'safer' equivalents and this has been problematic. Even now, I know of people who still have drums of CFCs which they almost guard with their lives—they won't even part with an ounce of the stuff for love nor money because when gone it's the end of the line.

It doesn't end there, in recent years we've seen certain CFCs being released to the atmosphere from illegal manufacturing in countries where monitoring isn't strictly controlled. Like illegal drugs, if there's sufficient demand people will supply them. Banning over 12,000 chemicals outright without a full and detailed investigation is certainly to cause similar problems.

We should learn from the CFC experience and take a carefully measured approach. Careful and strict regulation is likely a much better way of dealing with the problem..

I wonder how long it will be before we'll have to start whispering 'element 9' in hushed tones for fear of those who would wish it banned from the planet.

time travel debugger for Java, since we worked in financial domain where Java was predominant. We couldn't debug on remote machines for the lack of access.

There's a joy and generosity that the films have towards people, animals, and even food that you don't find in much media anymore.

It’s the monopolistic companies aka mega corps that really restrict individuals and stifle innovation.

In the small-mid sized space, there are shitty actors but they’re easier to avoid, and don’t require resorting to living in a cave. They are competing with each other in the traditional sense of the word. They’re not on a mission to extinguish.

This is not unique to tech, it’s everywhere. Private actors that become the size of countries switch to playing zero-sum games, by acquiring and consolidating. It’s always bad for the consumer.
It's not at all obvious to me that it's more risky than some of the BS that gets hundreds of millions of dollars in VC funding.
Well, nevermind the potential fallout then, if you, the individual is happy.

Consumerism really did kill "us" for "me" didn't it.
The problem here isn't with decriminalization-- it's with lack of commitment to what they originally replaced enforcement with. From that article:

"Experts argue that drug policy focused on jail time is still more harmful to society than decriminalization. While the slipping results here suggest the fragility of decriminalization’s benefits, they point to how funding and encouragement into rehabilitation programs have ebbed. The number of users being funneled into drug treatment in Portugal, for instance, has sharply fallen, going from a peak of 1,150 in 2015 to 352 in 2021, the most recent year available.

João Goulão — head of Portugal’s national institute on drug use and the architect of decriminalization — admitted to the local press in December that “what we have today no longer serves as an example to anyone.” Rather than fault the policy, however, he blames a lack of funding."

It was working great while they were committed to funding treatment programs and pushing users towards them.
Sometimes the subject of a person's concerns exists beyond their own ego. This is perfectly normal and surprisingly common behaviour.

Correct on the first, wrong on the second. Stockpiling issues doesn't work in U.S. politics: it's how you get primaried.

The truth: there are enough Democrats in competitive districts where legalized marijuana would lose them the next general. It's a majority of the minority problem. Not anything strategic.

I agree that the line is fuzzy, not sharp. But either way, how do you precisely determine the parameters of the line or gradient experimentally? It's my personal belief that a salmon is conscious, but less so than a dog, and that a preying mantis is conscious, but less so than a salmon. But these aren't beliefs handed to me by science, they're just my guesses informed by some casual knowledge of how complex the brains of these animals are. I assume that anything with a brain can have the experience of consciousness and that this has some relationship to the complexity of the brain, but I can't confidently say much more than that. How does an octopus rank against a dog? I have no clue, their brains are structured very different so it's hard to compare the two. Octopus seem to be very smart but their subjective experience could be very different. That's not something I have insight into. Are orcas more conscious than humans? Their brains are bigger and wrinklier, so I think the answer is definitely maybe! There's a distinct possibility that in the mind of an orca the orca is more aware of itself than humans could possibly ever be, but how can we really know that for sure? I can't experience what an orca experiences, so I can't directly compare the orca mental experience to my own. Studying the behavior of orcas can reveal interesting facts, such as their use of language and complex social relationships, but as evidence of subjective consciousness these are indirect at best.

Maybe some day we'll have scientific instruments that will allow one being to 'psychically link' with others and experience the other's subjective sense of being. But until we've got something like that, I think the matter is effectively closed to empirical inquiry.
"OVERHEIGHT MUST TURN" is almost comical in it's dangerous ambiguity. My first parse is "if you were over height, you would have to turn", not "you, yes, you! Stop! Now!".

>Higher resistance means more of the electrical energy is converted to heat per "time".

This isn't really accurate because increasing the resistance of a resistor in a given circuit will actually decrease the amount of heat dissipated.

W = IV where I = V/R plug that in we get W = (V/R)V = V^2/R

So Watts = Volts^2/Resistance. Increase resistance, decrease watts.

Its better to just say that resistance converts voltage to heat, and leave it at that. Also is why in the orginal paper (and other superconductor work) they measure voltage drop across the conductor. No voltage drop(loss) = no resistance.

Just because you could operate superconducting qubits at high temperature doesn't mean you would. By far the biggest problem for qubits is noise, and raising the temperature would increase noise. I won't claim a high Tc superconductor can't help... but my gut reaction is that it's irrelevant to the actual engineering issues as they currently stand.

This may be a hard pill to swallow, but science isn't a "more is better" game.

It ultimately requires being embedded in a culture that, to quote Popper, "seeks truths that are difficult and interesting". From that view, the problem for US scientific efforts is entirely home made, but it's also a problem that's much more pronounced in China.
Ask HN: How feasible is changing jobs right now?
Long story short, the company I work for is kind of in flux, current project isn't going well, I fear that sooner or later I may need to look for work elsewhere.

How bad is it right now? I have a degree from a top 10 CS University, 3 years of full time experience (about 5 years total experience if internships/part-time is counted), and my only hard requirements are that the position is fully remote and pays somewhere North of $65k a year.

I think I'm decent at interviewing - in mid 2022 I passed the Google coding interviews with zero preparation, but didn't end up joining because all the teams I spoke to demanded relocation/RTO. But Google also shut down their entire hiring pipeline later that year.

Can anyone speak to how good/bad the job search would be for me if I were to start looking in the near future?
