What kind of economy is this that a supplier can afford to pay meaningful sums to their customers? You'd think in a functioning system, the flow of funds should only go in one direction; from customer to supplier.

The fact that such moves might make financial sense says something about our underlying financial system.
We use cloudflare workers + mailchannels in production. Yikes.

We were already sorking on migrating away from cf workers to real servers, and now also we'll also have to move away from mailchannels I guess.

Security risks aren't worth the convenience.
As I said, the idea I posited _is_ impractical. It works fine if your band is playing small clubs and the like, but it admittedly falls apart at scale.

I see plenty of technical solutions being proposed. They might even work. Except each one seems to be exclusionary in some way or another at scale. Or they stomp on the tender feelings of libertarians, but I repeat myself.

I fail to see how making toilet paper cost hundreds or thousands of dollars per roll would ensure that everyone who needed it would be able to get it, since many of those who desperately wanted to wipe their ass were unable to work and going into record amounts of debt just to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads.

Producers and sellers were already fully incentivized to sell their goods, as they always have been. They know people want their product and will pay them enough that they can turn a profit. There's no reason to turn toilet paper into an luxury item which only the wealthiest people can afford leaving the majority priced out.

Price controls and rations have their place. Like all tools, the key to is make sure that they are used correctly.

I was relieved it was what I thought it was, too. Learning equinox means 'equal night', and solstice means 'sun still' will remain stuck in my head for the rest of my life, though.
Fun article, I actively encourage people to not pursue anything related to Hollywood and the "industry", whether it is in front of or behind the screen.

Why? Because it's a nepotistic *hit show. If you're in front of the camera, you have to literally suck someone off to get there (me too was only scratching the surface, both men and women are abused by it). The people that do have talent , of which there are many, are a dime a dozen. If you are already not a prodigy at your craft or have an industry in by the time you get there, you will waste your time.

Behind the scenes, it is only marginally better. You will end up working with some of the most insufferable people in the world who are so passionate about working in entertainment anything that they will work for free.

The industry is also on a precipice with AI which will absolutely decimate both on and off camera rolls. I tell kids all of the time, the entertainment industry is run by some of the most cut throat executives in the world and AI has given them the biggest gift in the world: the ability to gut the biggest expense in their balance sheets: labor.

And honestly, seeing Hollywood shrink is a good thing. It has ceased to be a good place both creatively and spiritually. This article is a prime piece of the general attitude of the industry.

I look forward to the author getting out competed by chatgpt. They all think they're safe, until they are not.

Edit: the downvoter really can't handle the truth. Everyone you see on screen has gotten there because of a favor either nepotism or sexual. I have too many friends who have revealed the dark truth about it. The place isn't to be admired and it's one of the worst industries on the planet.
If she was talking about very high Q then it wouldn’t be a major issue, but she was specifically referring to the regimes where it was important. Aka energy breakeven and minimum economic viability.

It also explains why Q is formulated in terms of energy added to the plasma vs energy gained from fusion which she didn’t understand. This formula for Q ends up being a term in the equation for economic viability, but she attacked it as if such a formulation was misleading.

Basically the total energy spent on the facility including cryogenic cooling, pumps, etc matters + Q as defined by fusion experts + fusion output energy + conversion energy lets you find the total net energy gain which you then compare with the cost of the facility to find economic viability. Roughly, [ (Fusion energy) * (1 + 1/Q) * (conversion efficiency) - (Total energy use by facility) ] / (cost per hour of operation) = energy per dollar.

There are other ways you can calculate that same number, but they require a lot more details.

> The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, a state agency that says it aims to protect the state's human and natural resources consistent with sustainable economic development, is reviewing the proposal and seeking public input.

I mean this truly: stop asking for public input.

This is one of the biggest problems in America, responsible for soaring housing costs, preventing us from making quicker progress on climate change, it is among the reason we have horrible traffic, it's reducing all of our incomes, and in general is making life in the West suck.

The public has no idea at all. There is no scenario where public input is useful, outside of maybe a jury.

We've got to rollback this stuff. The public should not be consulted on anything at all.
Drupal is the one piece of technology that I did 1 project in and would never work with again no matter what the pay was.
We were in the same boat. Our local schools looked great at the start, our kids were doing OK, but as soon as the pandemic hit, everything went into the toilet.

The online learning was abysmal, leadership seem to go out of their way to antagonize parents, teachers for the most part, we're OK, but some became really condescending. We pulled all four of our kids out and put them into a homeschooling group. Now they are in private school, which we pay for, and have much more control and direction over our children's education.
They are not 2 sets they are two diagrams, depicting the same set. You can present it like this or in the way you mentioned.
> People will tell you loudly and intently that you must do something in way X, but the reality is that the professional advice would be way Y, and for your situation, way Z is also OK.

The way I've heard it (I _think_ from Sanderson), people are generally quite good at telling you where something is wrong but _awful_ at telling you how to fix it.
Studies show that the biggest indicator child economic success is having two parents. Yeah, there's a lot of indirect measurements and selection bias, but it still says overwhelmingly: 2 parents is better than 1.

It sucks, but having only one parent is a huge disadvantage.
IndieHackers has more on this, they have a forum but their podcasts especially are the real value [0]. But most people on there are tech people, not marketers, so you'll still get a skewed version of reality.

I've found great insight through following actual marketers though, such as Jordan Platten on YouTube who builds a social media marketing agency from scratch via cold calls [1]. Now this is, in my opinion, what programmers should be doing, not learning the latest new Javascript framework to make their MVP just right.

On Reddit, there is similarly /r/sweatystartup [2] which also has a website with more podcasts and articles [3]. But the gist is that it's more about boring industries like lawn care, plumbing etc than shiny tech businesses. One of the best things you can do is to take a look at [2] and call 100 local businesses in a niche you pick (lawn care, etc), ask them about their problems then either start a competing service or start creating software for that niche. Nick Huber, the guy who started the subreddit and site, did both and has a ~$25 million business now.

The above is basically what I'm doing, I'm looking into making software for the boring industry of social media marketing.

I'm pretty sure there are lower hanging fruits than trying to pack as many people
as you can in one space to optimize carbon footprint. I find this argument to be a far fetched way to guilt someone who works remotely at best. What's the next step, why have homes or apartments that generate excess carbon emissions when you can pitch a tent in the open space inside office buildings?

There was a classic study that showed what we humans might intuitively think how brains and vision should work was wrong, at least with frogs - TLDR - their eyes do processing/filtering (one channel - is this thing in field of vision possible prey?) on input before sending some higher level signal to the brain

You're confused. Just because there is an advantage in one area that does not make something optimal. Moms and dads are great. What actually matters tho is that children are exposed to men and women who love and support them so that they can learn from them and from the dynamics of their relationships.
It doesn’t, but on average it does.
These articles write themselves i guess. If it weren't a negative article about the dod using ai, it would be a negative article about why isnt the dod using ai.

"The bitter lesson of machine learning is that building knowledge into agents does not work in the long run, and breakthrough progress comes from scaling computation by search and learning.02 This applies to domains where domain knowledge is weak or hard to express mathematically. The rapid progress of ML applied to LQCD, mol.2 dyn., protein folding, and computer graphics is the result of combining domain knowledge with ML."

This passage says that the advantages of scaling a certain kind of learning are especially good when .. two conditions.. but a side-effect of that statement is, when knowledge is well known, and maybe straightforward to express, these kinds of learning systems, not as great.. this is true.

without taking on big other topics, I think this "bitter lesson" is unspecific enough to include some self-serving utility.. just tell the other camps to give up, you lost. that sort of thing.
The article shared some interesting facts, but equinox is still basically what I originally thought.

So IMHO the title is a bit clickbaity.

> We went from cultural conventions dating back to the Roman empire at least and upheaved them in large part.

Reading well regarded works such as The Roman Family (1992)

https://books.google.com.au/books/about/The_Roman_Family.htm...

strongly supports that in Roman times, just as today, there was no single concept of family. While the “nuclear family” was central, divorce was common, as was remarriage, resulting in blended families. If a parent died, a child was sometimes fostered by extended family.

It appears that one of the greatest differences between classic Roman times and modern US customs might be the extent of extended family support, that difference perhaps also seperating modern US customs from many other modern countries.
Aren’t the HDPE Nalgene the original one carried in the 90s, then polycarbonate came out, whoops BPE then transition to Lexan?

I loved the HDPE and appreciated it was likely the most inert (aren’t milk jugs HDPE?), but my family says it imparts a taste so we have a ton of Lexan.

Sure, but the company that made the transistor radio (and not necessarily even made it, but the one that made the best version of it), Sony, is now rich, while the organization that made the transistor, Bell Labs, is now essentially defunct.

> Nothing that Dropbox does (or did? is it still around?) is technically innovative. I guess it's nice for that rich guy that he identified a user-friendly box that people would pay for.

Technology is a tool for people, there is no value to technology (and it doesn't matter how "innovate" it is) if people don't use it.
Why isn't the limit more like 3 per month or even year? Maybe with a way to apply for an exemption after human review. I have a hard time seeing how anything even remotely approaching 3 per day would be legit..

I suspect the answer is that Amazon doesn't really care about AI books, as long as they sell. But the longer term damage seems inevitable: trust lost for all self-published books.

I can't possibly imagine that is accurate, and even if it was that wouldn't be ethically viable anyway.
Netherlands: besides one friend of a friend with an autoimmune disease, I'm not aware of chronic health issues in anyone else under 70 years old. Unless you count things like obesity, autism, or often having a headache at the onset of menstruation. Only among my grandparents (>70yo by now), it's indeed common to have something like a wound that doesn't heal or memory issues.

Maybe my value is under the statistical average, but "almost everyone I know"? That sounds very odd as well. Do you know of a genetic-related issue in the family, or do you live in a place where vaccinations are not available or mistrusted or so?
[Hi from Argentina!] The Spanish version is better than what I expected. Anyway, it seem to be too fast, perhaps it's because different languages have a different natural length and all must be pasted into the same video. But the annoying part is the pause between sentences, it's slightly too long.

I guess this is good enough for "employee training" because it's mandatory, but I think it's not good enough for "marketing".

Have you tried "translating" videos from English to English to know how they feel? Do you speak any of the other languages?
You can make a scarce good cheap, just not for everyone in the market... hence the entire point of the discussion.

I like to look at it the other way: if a single person can make so much on their own, how much inefficiency must there be in big companies? Even at the medium size VC backed startup (~120 people) I work for, the amount of inefficiency I see on a day to day basis is sometimes unbelievable.

Also I'm not sure banks are a good example. Over the course of my mortgage, I will end up paying more than I borrowed in interest.

I got a bill for a 7K$ CT scan. Medicare paid 1.5K$, and 5.5K$ was "contractually adjusted" out. My share was $46.

Believe me, I'm all for living in a more considerate and empathetic society. However, I think calling it "a mandatory requirement of all human interaction" is not true and is the seed of the paradox of tolerance. As the author says, "you put me in this spot where my only option is to acquiesce to your demands or be the bad guy."
The biggest difference I've noticed is that the newer episodes are targeted to a younger demographic, which makes it seem very dumbed-down compared to the old stuff, but it means younger kids can keep up and learn from it. My 3yo learns a ton from the recent episodes, whereas the older sesame streets are just a little too complex for her to follow. I'll try the older ones on her once she ages out of the recent ones.

The Grateful Dead comes up now and again on HN. They played 522 shows in 1972 alone, and averaged 100 per year from the mid 60s to mid 70s. In the 80s and 90s the average was somewhere around 80 per year. They sold a lot of tickets and consistently sold out. Anyone remember the system they used, as I recall we just called it "mail order". Of course there was scalping, but as I recall the system generally seemed to reward the diligent.
Realistically these rebates are a fraction of the cost of Intel products. Intel wasn't paying their customers (not counting the Atom contra-revenue fiasco); they were charging slightly less.
Yeah, there is a reason HN has a certain reputation, and Twitter has a different one, and Reddit (or certain subreddits, rather) has an entirely different one. At some point, by comparing the aggregate trends, you definitely can put communities into different camps.

Is this available as an AMI I can use when launching an EC2 instance? If so, how do I specify which container or containers it should run? Do I paste a docker-compose.yaml file into the User Data field in the EC2 launch wizard? Do I send configuration to a certain reserved port with a specially authed HTTP POST? About the only thing I know atm is that I can’t use ssh until a container is deployed.
An alternative could be online untransferable but voidable tickets, with in person payment.

Basically try to make it so money changing hands is inpractical and bears considerable risks.

Now you've got me wondering, what kind of technical expertise do different insurance companies possess to understand risk in these niche industries? Insuring Viasat's Visasat-3 for example. How do you quote for something like that without just pulling a number out of thin air and hope it doesn't bankrupt them. Do insurers need to sign off on technical specs?

It's unforgettable to admit, but a teeny tiny row in a database somewhere has a huge effect on people's wellbeing. When the government is doing (relative) austerity during a downtown, and household balance sheets get weaker, it's not mass psychosis, people really are squeezed and employers have more power, real power.
I'm not sure, with only brief consideration, that that's easier in practice, but it's a clever idea that I'll explore further.
