I had never considered that older might die purely because doctors may not see the need to dig in and diagnose them purely because they’re “old” and would “likely die soon anyway”. The older you get, the less medical intervention. With how much poorer we’re all getting it’ll probably only get worse.
Great point. Harvard could charge $500K per year and easily fill out their classes, but they never will because their value proposition epends on being perceived as the smartest, not the richest.

We’re not on StackOverflow, you can’t just post 2 links that mention Threads and say this is the same question.

I’m asking because I live in Europe, where Threads isn’t available so it’s hard to gauge how alive it is. And I’m interested in HN’s point of view specifically.
It’s funny though because one of the first examples is a cool product called proof of presence protocol. To make an analogy to video games it’s like badges for doing a raid but more like a badge for going to a conference that’s saved in your digital wallet. These kinds of products are also used to “feature gate” other real life events or products or services. Kind of like a member card but it can be used pretty dynamically and it’s product agnostic.

You can do dynamic pricing. Have a reasonably strong identifier ticket app that is tied to a device, ip address, voice print id, and phone number. Have people put in bids for the ticket (with a minimum floor price), weigh each bid by some determination of "fan strength", like willingness to travel larger distance to see a show, then select winners based on a bell curve distribution of bids.
Very true, but very annoying for the person that wants to attend the concert. You can pretty much flush your chances of getting tickets directly from Ticketmaster right down the toilet.

Any video that tries to condense all of economics into 16 minutes is going to be wrong to a certain extent, but I think anyone without a strong negative opinion of capitalism would get the point she makes.

The answer is that it’s sparse. It’s still very early. Scammers and grifters were dominant on the Internet for decades, massive businesses were built on spam and popup ads, something every user universally hated.

I could give a few examples but I think it’s still at an early enough stage that they won’t appeal to the general public any more than internet chat did to the general public in the mid 90s. It’s still too early. It’s fine to ignore emerging tech that you find annoying or useless. I just tend to be attracted to it because it’s quite fun to be along for the ride to see it become more mainstream and useful. Not everything succeeds. :) prime example from my previous time in web2 SaaS: box subscription companies were a popular growth and acquisition model but ended up not being sustainably aligned with what people actually wanted: consistent and reliable products they love.
Well, I mean there's no way I can prove this but I think it has more to do with the fact that compared to email verification ($0.002/hotmail address), CAPTCHA ($0.003/reCAPTCHA), it substantially raises account creation costs because real US/EU phone numbers will be at least a couple cents per verification.
Not happy about this sort of terror talk for extreme cases. It's like launching yourself into the sun and then writing a piece about the extreme temperatures in excruciating detail. Most people do not interact or engage with the sun in a "launch myself into it directly" way and therefore mentioning such stories in a fresh landscape that will invariably become baseline pieces in search sequences, is something I'm not thrilled with. It is an amazing molecule and we should be working to research all the miraculous benefits possible at small quantities (we concentrate soap, why is it surprising that concentrated medicine exists).

Can you be more specific about how how her viewpoints create problems for you as a science educator? (I am speaking specifically about her content relevant to physics/particle physics/cosmology.)

Generally, she is careful to point out when she is voicing views based on her own preferences, speculating about things that have no observational data to back them up or giving personal hot-takes on various topics.

For everything else, aka, the things she accepts provisionally as true, she appears to favor the least speculative among current solutions/theories/approaches in physics. Much of her popular work is focused on critiques of the many speculative musings of physicists who, in her opinion, have moved into a kind of post-science research program.

Her acceptance/popularizing of the standard model and of general relativity as humanity's current best models of the universe indicate that her viewpoints tend to be highly conservative and evidence-based.

Again, most (all?) of her musings about things that might be true or things that might be interesting directions for research are clearly called out as such.

TL;DR: It's taking the standard premise that there's no such thing as dying from old age, and applying it to examining treatment for elderly patients. The current conception of a human lifespan is within the context of a world where medical interventions are preferentially given to the young instead of the old. Thus, a doctor might not recommend a course of treatment for a 100-year-old (who may be much younger, biologically) because of an incorrect belief about human lifespan, the 100-year-old dies soon as a result, and the cycle continues.

There are a lot of stats here that point to their conclusion very strongly, and my own experience in healthcare has mirrored that, even though I never thought of it that way at the time.

This has given me a lot to think about.
I'm the author of this framework. Version 0.5 is under development right now and there are a few things I'd like to point out about the project's current state:

• I was developing an example Telegram client where components would run on sandboxes to dodge some attacks (such as the recent bug found on WebP that is used for Telegram stickers).

• Creating sandboxes using Linux namespaces (available from emilua 0.4) proved to be too cumbersome.

• I'm developing support for new sandboxing technologies that I hope to be easier to use.

•• Landlock (Linux): already usable from branch 0.5.

•• Capsicum (FreeBSD): in development.

• The lack of an (emilua) ecosystem is a real problem for new (emilua) programs, so I'll develop something like <http://lua-users.org/wiki/LunaticPython> that also translates Python promises from Python3's asyncio to fiber suspension/wakeup in Lua land and customizes the Python3's asyncio event loop to use the same Boost.Asio instances. This support will depend on <https://lwn.net/Articles/941090/> as there would be 1 Python subinterpreter for each Lua VM.

• I plan to do something similar to the previous item to NodeJS as well.

• Version 0.5 is mostly ready and I expect a release by December. The focus of this release is refactoring stuff to make it easier to develop a package manager for emilua.

> to look the other way when stubhub commits illegal acts?

Scalping is only illegal in certain jurisdictions (usually state level, iirc). Presumably stubhub intentionally does not operate in those jurisdictions.

They could sell to people in those jurisdictions, but you could make people sign a thing saying that they actually bought the tickets from another area. Someone could probably come after them, but there's enough plausible deniability to keep it tied up in court for a while, and nobody is going to do that for low level scalping offenses.

Depends on the project type and part of the lifecycle. Also depends on the team composition and office structure.

In my career I've generally been on teams spread across 3 continents and sit in open floorplan offices surrounded by other loud teams. So I commute into the office to be collocated with at-best 1/3 of my team, surrounded by unrelated noise.

In some ideal state where we were 100% in the same city, sat in a dedicated pod area without so much commotion & distraction, in-office might be great. I've never experienced this.

Even in that ideal state, it may likely turn out ideal team productivity happens at 3-4 days in-office, as there's time for coordination and then time for deep quiet work.

The top-down, C-suite level dictates are not based on what's most productive.

Inflation in Australia is measured using what’s known as CPI, but is weighted with other goods, and is widely but not universally thought to downplay the effects of property pricing in spending.
I feel like Perth exists in a little alternate universe of its own. It's a city of approx 1.6 million, bigger than Phoenix or Philadelphia, with Western Australia having a state GDP-per-capita 10% higher than the US. Property is also 15% cheaper than the South-East England (excluding London) region.

Median house price is US$396000 / AUD$615000 and there is a very long list of skills shortages for immigration to fill. The property boom in Sydney just passed Perth by, and it's now significantly cheaper.

Vacancy rates are at their lowest in years, and rents have risen recently, but that's off the back of eleven years of zero nominal house price growth 2011-2021. We are only now getting 10-15% above 2011 levels in nominal terms.

I'm not saying people can uproot their established lives in Melbourne/Sydney, especially when the main industries are quite different in Perth, but I really don't understand why Perth is not a more popular destination for immigration from around the world.

As a British economic migrant to Australia myself I'm just surprised there isn't more of a stampede. My 2023 Perth salary is 3.5 times higher than my UK 2010 salary, and the quality of life in Perth is far higher than the UK.

My house is 4 bed 2 bath on a 4300 ft2 block 2.5 miles (9 minutes on the bus) from the city centre and it is 3.8 times my salary as an engineer (my wife is unable to work so we are single income)
When a studio apartment costs $600,000 and a 2 bed apartment in the same building costs often double, there really isn’t a pathway to ‘step’ between them. The same is true of houses, where the gap in prices between apartments and houses has never been wider.

It also doesn’t take into consideration that the would be homeowner is usually renting while saving their deposit, and that currently requires a larger share of their income than basically ever before.

> Also, it isn't limited amount of time. This has been Costco's MO for decades.

Have they sold chicken at below cost for decades with no stop? Really? I think you mean they have sold small portions of their wares at below cost, not that they have sold a specific thing at below cost for extended amounts of time.

> Whether you have 100 chickens or 100 million, if they cost you $6 and you sell them for $5, that's below cost.

Yeah, but the store as a whole isn't selling at below cost, and on average since those chickens aren't sold at below cost all the time they still make money from chickens. Those things means that on average the store is net positive, and them selling chickens is a net positive. Hence overall they don't sell anything at a net loss, its just for short periods of time they do it and those can be hand waved away. There are a lot of laws surrounding limited time offers that they have to follow.
I think there is a lot of inertia with social media. The 20% that use it all the time, invest in it, and make it a part of their lives (personal and professional) will jump ship to the next thing. The rest will mostly stay. Threads won't survive on that 20%, not if the 80% does not follow, because then there is less reason for the first 20% to stay.. Same with Bluesky. Both are clones of Twitter with something from the past added in to make it seem new, but neither are giving the 80% attentus populai a reason to switch their habits.
Pepin: Probabilistic Approximate Volume Counter
You're right, the future looks grim. Who knows how many layers of the reseller parfait you have to go through just to get a ticket? At some point it becomes prohibitively expensive and there won't be enough people that can afford to attend events.

I wonder how much of this could be alleviated by selling a certain percentage of tickets at the box office only? I worked in operations for a pretty large concert venue several years ago, and the Jonas Brothers were going to play there (this was at their peak). I remember a good chunk of tickets were only sold at the box office and there was a limit per person (maybe 5 or 6)? I know it's annoying to drive somewhere and wait in line for hours, but I'm sure there are folks out there that would prefer to do that instead of paying a 500% markup on the original ticket price.
Economists aren't really experts, though, as demostrated by the very fact that there's a 42-58 split.

Firefox 117 with adblock and noscript (nothing allowed).

Again, this is much preferable over the site not loading. I am not that familiar with web development but it looks like something that isnt initialized correctly (likely set afterwards in js?). Its really not worth putting in the effort to try to debug it if its not obvious.

Its pretty clear that its a side effect of the blockers so you shouldnt be worried about bad impressions. I took it as a very good sign that the page just loaded as is anyway, especially given that you are working with quite sensitive information. Anyone with a similar setup will likely take it the same way as they are used to sites not working.

This way i was able to look at it, which i wouldnt have if the site required any additional scripts. That should count as a win and a job well done.
A Letter from Burning Man
It think the general rule of thumbs is that accepting money to help other companies monopolize their markets is fine as long as you don't try to monopolize your own.

Personally, I think that all the stuff like this should also be illegal, even without a monopoly. Exclusivity contracts and stuff with that goal should be illegal.

However, we'll have to pass new laws to get there.
Can Cells Learn? Can Molecules Communicate? What We Are Learning
I don't think that it's the energy of the acting that's jarring. I think it's the frequency of the cuts. This could be to cover up mistakes in diction (you only need to remember less than a few seconds of your lines at a time!) or just to hold the viewers attention with unnatural movements.

One example of what you describe is GreatScott, a videomaker covering DIY electronics. He has definitely developed a more intense style, but he still gets through a paragraph of his lines without a cut. He doesn't need to turn his image upside-down to be engaging.
You mean pyrolysis?

There has been talk about chemical recycling by pyrolysis since at least the 1990s and the story is some combination of: (1) the energy consumption is high, (2) the output is a mixture of low value products (“mixture” is a bad smell in uneconomical energy tech such as Fischer-Tropsch) , so… (3) the economics wouldn’t be great if everything went right, but… (4) environmentalists fight to stop it because they think it is dirty, and (5) they struggle to get the plant working and stay working.

Also pyrolysis in general is one hell of an el dorado in the energy industry right up there with the liquid metal fast breeder reactor. Look in the literature in the 1970s or early 2000s and you’d think the world would be full of plants making clean low-cost energy from coal or biomass but there have been few projects and when they do happen they wind up like…

https://www.technologyreview.com/2017/06/29/150681/clean-coa...

so anybody who is advocating for this kinda has to explain why this time will be different.

I think the processes talked about in the article are lower energy and produce higher valued products, people do have them working in the lab but commercialization is even further away than pyrolysis.
There are allot of assumptions in your line of reasoning. It can be argued that it is just as likely—if not more likely—that the only people watching this video that came out of it with a positive opinion on capitalism, are the people that already believe these assumptions to be true, don’t need any evidence to further believe them—may even reject the evidence showing the contrary—and already held the faith that capitalism is good.

Either way it was a bad video, and not at all to par with the scientific standard she sets in her previous work, in the field she is an expert at.
You’re right, we should continue to teach the Copenhagen interpretation forever just to make life easier for educators. Let’s also talk about free will to make sure physics has a hint of the spiritual in it. Otherwise how would we ever find God through then study of his marvellous creation!?
