> if some topic at hand is “what should we do about increasing automation [in the future]?”

If that's at hand, the answer is to let the rest of society catch up before increasing automation.

I agree some form of government intervention is needed because it's the government's fault in the first place. I'm just saying something that should not be controversial at all: throwing money at the problem is crazy.
> So much for "this is the only country where this happens".

Which isn't what was said. What was said is this is the only country where this regularly happens. The U.S. comprises 5% of the of the world's population yet endures 24% of the world's primary school attacks over the last 20 years.

Worms will come, and multiply, all by themselves. IF they have stuff to munch on.

The great thing about worms is they mix & aerate the soil without disturbing its overall structure. Unlike tilling (which imho should be avoided as much as possible).

From the (limited) gardening I've done in my life, some lessons learned:

1) Try to keep something growing at all times, even if it's just grass, a cover crop, or fast growing in-between like lettuce. Even weeds are better than bare soil (imho).

2) Organic material! Don't remove any if it's not harvest, add more if possible. Wood chips, twigs, fall leaves, straw, grass, organic kitchen scraps, even cardboard, as long as it's clean (100% "cold" compostable, no plastic bits etc) it's welcome. Not in the least 'cause it gives the worms something to chew on.

This is one of many ways where modern agriculture fails: harvest = entire crop cleared in 1 swoop. And sometimes the waste (like straw) also has uses so often that's removed as well. Leaving very little organic matter in the field. Not to mention repeated destruction of the soil structure.

Funny things is science knows the soil below our feet about as 'well' as deep oceans... Many of the critters down there only classified by family, relatively few by individual species. Let alone their lifecycle or feeding habits. It's a free-for-all but unknown world down there.
They're good, trust me.
A bit of false advertising since it does not support 5G standalone, only the "fake" 5G NSA which is actually 4G.

GPIO is doable on a mini PC. For example, there are Raspberry Pi Pico firmwares out there that present as a normal gpiochip. I recently set up a pico with 3D printer firmware (Klipper, specifically) so I could control power to my actual printer, which actually works surprisingly well.
In previous posts, commenters from Australia, Pakistan and India replied how cheap their solar installations were, 1/3 of what it costs in US.

The ethics discussion in the neighboring threads aside, this approach has some nasty surprises, and I think it's borderline deceptive that they aren't mentioned more prominently.

It's not that rare that my REPL sessions e.g. in Node are

> perform expensive computation

... result ...

> transform result

... transformed result ...

With this approach, the REPL slows down quadratically with session length, and any expensive command at the beginning is executed over and over again.

Also, better don't do any file I/O and then continue the session unless you're prepared for the consequences.

>>> It also revealed some interesting things about social contracts, about who is really essential for the functioning of a society and how little we value them. A friens of mine is kindergardener, and he came close to quitting, as his illusions of what his job is were utterly shattered, as it became clear that many parents did not care about the safety of their own and other kids or about the staff. People just wanted to get rid of their kids and they hated being alone with them as much as they hated being alone with themselves.

> That was not the motivation the teacher is talking about, and it's more something we can now understand better. During lockdown, parents just wanting to get rid of their kids part-time was the issue.

The framing in this thread is pretty uncharitable. Kids, especially young kids, need a lot of attention. It's a full time job, and most parents weren't in a position to quit their jobs in order to focus on it. As I understand it, pandemic parenting was basically trying to do two full-time jobs at once. Most parents want do do right by their kids, but their capitalist bosses were unlikely to accept a major drop in job performance. Basically, they were stuck between a rock an a hard place.

Our two income household society is setup to so parents absolutely require childcare. It's unfair to change that into a moral failing of parents.
Agreed, and during those decades legislation and execution thereof sorely lacked.

Besides using The Google to find a piece of trivia, I hardly see anyone living in the browser to the extent that they are treating it like an OS in and of itself. If anything, the browser is seen as antiquated. The decision of browser makers to expose so many non-document APIs seems to not be closely connected to direct consumer demand for them.

> It's not the planet that's using fossil fuels

When people say "it's bad for the planet", we need to assume that "it's bad for the humanity". The planet does not really care about CO2 emissions, humans suffering/dying from them probably do.

> If fossil fuels were so bad for the humanity, nobody would use them.
> Seems like we're near a tipping point in that regard, if we haven't already crossed it.

Sure... As long as the army is following the government it's a non-issue. Billionaires are political/industrial/&c. power if you want but they're one "go get them" order away from disappearing forever. It just so happens that for now their goals are somewhat aligned with the gov's.

And even if the gov falls a lot of US three letters agencies are already semi or fully autonomous, and from the few things we know about them they don't fuck around.

Corruption exists, probably on a large scale, but it's not a single coordinated effort, it's more like an army of rats fighting for the crumbs. If even Mexico didn't completely fold against their drug cartels it's not the soy boy Musk & lizard man Zuck dream team who'll destroy the USA

While overall I agree with your points, the reason I think they might settle with a smaller constellation is that they could sell it as an AWS service with direct integration with their data centers. For example, as a lower latency low bandwidth interlink between continents. It would be similar to how Starlink integrates with the networking at Google datacenters, but made explicit as an AWS service.

It's certainly profitable to me to be employed, I get money. It's one way you can "profit" from an activity. You can also profit via other things, but it's a wider meaning of "profit" than the financial one.

>Bruh, if you're gonna make statements like this, your argument needs to be stellar to back it up.

Well, for starters, did you actually look into the studies you cited or did you just take the first parts that confirmed your bias? For instance, the study that claimed European cars are safer in front/side crash tests admitted that the distribution of safety differences contains zero. It's important to understand the limitations of null-hypothesis testing. This means you can't discount that there is no actual difference between safety. This is why data literacy is important rather than just reading the abstract or conclusion and running with it.

>The US rural population is tiny, it's less than 20%

Again, this belies ignorance. Did you just grab the first Google result that confirmed your stance, or did you actually take time to understand the nuance? There is a massive disparity between what the census defines as rural vs. what is colloquially understood as rural. The census considers any population over 2500 people as an "urban cluster". That means US urban areas range from 2500-19.5MM. With that level of variance, you have to acknowledge large variance of “normal” use cases.

>Your focus on safety as the root cause is also pretty dumb

Please point to where I said it's the "root cause." I've only been advocating a more nuanced perspective. Also, see the HN guidelines for appropriate comments.

>Please provide your sources

The average round-trip commute as 55.2 minutes according to the US census and over 40 miles. Maybe you misspoke when you said "20 miles per day" and meant one-way?

>Yes it is indeed.

No, it's misguided and lacking nuance at best. Have you ever driven in southern California during rush hour? Your average speed is easily 30mph or less because you are essentially in a parking lot for huge periods. But that doesn't negate the need for a car to be able to reach highway speeds. Remember, the context was about safety of cars that are capped at 50km/hr, but now you're moving the goalposts and acknowledging the need for faster speeds just to maintain your position.

It's pretty clear you have your mind made up and prefer to argue rather than have a substantive and nuanced conversation.

Profit is an accounting term, so ambiguous. To be actually clear, it would be useful to qualify it as "taxable profit" or "investor profit," for example. In practice, these are two unrelated numbers for most big companies. Each one is defined by who you are communicating to, and what the rules are for this communication.

You might also have "management profit," a catch-all term for unstandard & unregulated metrics. For example, A business graduates from "cash accounting" for tax and investor purposes... but it's still useful for the old management to track the old definition of profit. Maybe because habits. Maybe because it tracks cash flow or is useful some other way.

It's one of those pomo problems. The SEC, IRS or bank manager will not stand for "SEC Profit." They want "real" profit. It's like a naive local politician demanding to know what the hospital "really" cost the contractor.

Anyway.... like the SEC, IRS and such... author is using terms from their own perspective. When they say "Open Source does not win by being cheaper," "open source" specifically refers to an open source business modeled after MongoDB or similar. So yes, investors, growth goals and such are implied.

He clarifies himself on this point and there's no real point taking it into semantic growling.
If for no other reason than you will encounter code in dynamic scripting languages in your job, statistically speaking.

In my own experience, people who only know one or the other often end up with gaping holes in their skillset. One I see a lot even yea verily here on HN is people who only work with dynamic scripting languages do not realize just how slow their languages are, and pour vast amounts of ultimately wasted effort into speeding their scripting language up when the answer is to stop using them. On the flip side, people who know only a static language, and it's often only one static language, tend to have serious tunnel vision in general about software engineering; I would almost say it's like they don't so much know how to "program" as to drive their IDE in that one language. These people are often the worst about whatever the dogma is in their particular language and will end up driving themselves mindlessly off a cliff, even in their "native" language, when solving problems their dogma doesn't work well for. Example: The thing we've almost all seen with Java codebases that have patterns freaking everywhere, but where they aren't actually doing anything; the factoryfactory that only ever constructs one type of thing in the end, the template code pattern that has only one thing in the code that uses it, etc.

Having at least that much diversity in your language toolkit helps you escape the sort of thing Dijkstra was talking about with how BASIC was ruining people. The effect he was really observing is that in general, if you only have one language, and especially if you spend too much time in that one language before branching out, you tend to start mistaking the details of your language for the foundational reality of computing, and that causes all sorts of "difficult to characterize well in an HN post" problems for you. In Dijkstra's day, that happened to be BASIC, but today there are many languages that can cause that problem. Perhaps Javascript is the leader, not because of any specific characteristic of the language itself but because it is relatively easy to be a "web programmer" and never end up branched out into anything else. I see the negative effects of this from a bunch of people who think that the JS solution is the only solution, and can't even process the idea that if another language does it some other way, there may in fact be reasons for that and it may be a better solution in some ways. I wish that were sarcasm, but it really isn't, it's experience from helping people online.

The biggest help we got was meeting directly with our customers and asking them “What would it take for you to login everyday to view this dashboard” and they clearly provided metrics and trends they care about but have a hard time getting access to the data. Also don’t get fancy with our visuals. Lots of big metric kpi visuals, tabular visuals, line charts & bar charts. They should be able to glance at the visuals and immediately known what’s going on and get sense of what the visual is conveying.

Another thing customers love is the dynamic ability we give them to be able to switch how certain visuals are grouped or what value is being displayed. We can’t for see all the different ways users will want to slice and dice the data so giving them that ability was huge.

This concept of "the science" we've converged on a culture really doesn't make a ton of sense. What does it mean to say "the science" is against a position that many relevant experts hold? To the extent that there is such a thing as "the science", the book the author is advertising (https://shakenbaby.science/) is pretty frank that its goal is to argue against it: there's a traditional medical consensus in favor of SBS/AHT, but it's become more controversial, and if you read this book you too will be convinced that it's wrong.
Sorry, there's no way for us to interface with SEPA at this time. It would not be that hard to setup a way to just receive money via SEPA (probably using Wise's multicurrency account system), but integrating it into the rest of our payment system would be gigantic, because of the totally different interaction model inherent in SEPA-based transactions (i.e. a bank would have to notify us of a payment). While I'd love to do this as a matter of principle, we think it better for our users that we focus more on features and bugs in the software.

We explain why we use PayPal over here: https://ardour.org/faq.html#why-paypal

The other well-known payment processors do not have the footprint nor the features that PayPal offers.

If there's a market for it then it will exist. No one is stopping distribution warehouses from existing, it would be making warehouse real estate compete with everyone else. If it means shipping costs on Amazon to a particular region has to increase by a couple cents so people can buy a house in an area that's $50k+ cheaper (or at all) that's just basic competition of resources which we don't get up in arms about in any other situation.

If housing prices are still unnaturally high (putting pressure on other industries) then solve all the other issues beyond zoning: pro-NIMBY municipal policy, fire any politician/counselor who uses the phrase "rent control", eliminate height restrictions, streamline inefficient/byzantine development regulations and licensing, modernize and reform unions that slow housing development to preserve the original intended societal benefits of unions without the legacy cruft generating all the negative baggage, etc.
There is already an abundance of free and open source software, so much that it would take a lifetime even to catalog it. (One of the most inexplicable things to me is how people prefer to pay for proprietary software rather than learn to use free FOSSoftware. "Bigfoot lives on Endor.")
