Alone? No. Wrong? Yes.

The concept you're describing is known as moral indulgence or moral self-indulgence: When a person refuses to do the right thing because they want to keep their hands clean. When you're standing at the switch you have agency and should be prepared to own your action. "Five people were struck by a trolley because I lacked the moral fortitude to save them."

You guys have been predicting doom since the 70s
I'm in the same boat as you, and I got out, and I have / had the same opinions as you.

My sister still is in the poverty cycle. Got pregnant at 16 and have been having to deal with child rearing (along with a partner, and later, 2 more kids) which I'm starting to appreciate the difficulty in her getting out of the mess

(I have a my own kid now, no time for life improvement! I've got to work and then clean and make dinner!)

Not only that, but her partner is abusive, they have smoking and alcohol habits, and the only refuge they have is spending some paycheck on getting a new Xbox for the kids, seeming they broke the last one.

Not only that, but their real estate agent is literally saying "send us a extra $1000 for water bill this month or we'll kick you out" - so they just pay, even when I tell them not to because there's no legal requirement if there's no invoice to say what you're paying, and it's not on the lease agreement.. they don't have the time to understand the law and get help..

This is all to say, it can be tough for people. Yes some/most of it might be their own doing, but they have more to undo, because they made silly mistakes earlier, and it's very difficult for people to think of anything past second-order effects, let alone first-order..

That being said we're on an upward trend for her :), I'm helping her out even if she gets annoyed at my lecturing (some of it is sticking, and the kids are definitely staying in school at all costs! :)
Nice, but I prefer something slightly more Powerful like the Unihiker with a Rockchip 3308 (https://www.dfrobot.com/product-2691.html, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmBhBfV3Kfw) or the Funkey S (https://www.funkey-project.com/) with an Allwinner V3s... or even the non open X-Boy Plus (https://github.com/hsinyuwang/X-Boy) with Allwinner T113-S3.

I'm still keeping an Eye on these device types because someday I hope it will be possible to create my personal Audio Player / iPod Nano clone with Wifi and long battery life by putting a buildroot based image (https://github.com/FunKey-Project/FunKey-OS) and Running a C# or Flutter UI on the framebuffer (https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/guides/deep-dives/running-o...)

My post is about the cumulative cost over ten years, not only the purchase price. And naturally it depends on the condition of the car you're comparing. You could find a broken civic for less than 1k!

I chose to compare a 2016 Civic with ~60k miles to the 2023 Bolt with ~0 miles. The market price for the Civic is ~18k [0], and the lowest for which you can realistically get a Bolt is the EUV for ~32k [1]. I also considered 12.5k in state and federal tax breaks, which decrease the purchase price of the Bolt to 19.5k.

Here is a cumulative vehicle cost calculator https://afdc.energy.gov/calc/ It makes a graph, from which we can look at the value for year 10.

Add a 2023 Bolt, and a 2016 Civic. Change the price of the Bolt to $19.5k, and the Civic to 18k. Choose your state for energy prices. You may also change the gas price or the number of miles you drive. Click Get Results.

My results are Civic: 52k, and Bolt: 45k. That's assuming that the ratio between gas and energy prices doesn't change in the next ten years.

[0]: The site itself pulls a value of 18,640 from somewhere, but my 18k value came from online listings. My wife looked for these, and I think she mainly used KBB.

[1]: The Bolt EV cannot be purchased, only the EUV. I called about 20 dealerships. After 3 weeks I had gotten several offers to buy vehicles for 32k and higher, but none lower.

If you mean literally, absolutely yes. Even Palestine has a life expectancy of 73 years, unless you start doing heavy crime or are very unlucky you will survive until you get old.
The Internet is on a death-spiral as much as Western Civilisation is on a decline.
Since a CPU is the end-product, much like a binary compiled from open source project would be, open hardware is closer to "you can build it yourself" rather than "trust the already compiled version"
Can you point to where in my comment I asserted that hallucinations are equal to other sources of errors, or even compared them? Because I tend to agree with you. I tried to point out that info found externally always has to be cross-checked, no matter where it originates.
Orthogonal to what? :) Loyalty schemes, staff reduction, staff deskilling, foisting unpaid work onto customers, etc etc are all perfectly aligned.

I'd disagree with your point about effective nagging. A human might get the message, particularly if they know you. An automated checkout never will, every transaction is identical.

Obviously my perspective is very "bah humbug". However, there are several major issues in modern western societies, including social isolation, spiralling cost of living, and the ongoing death of the highstreet. I see automated checkouts as another nail in the coffin. Melodramatic perhaps, but there it is. I'd happily exchange an automated supermarket for a string of corner shops run by flawed humans.
This is exactly the distinction that needs to be drawn:

Relative time is only useful within the next or past few hours. For pretty much everything else, the absolute time is more informative and clear.
Desktop to mobile was also a big shift from the perspective of wanting to offer the "continue your journey" experience + having the same experience on both. Which initiated moving features from being done locally to "log in and sync in our cloud", or dumbing features down on desktop, or downright removing them so that "it's the same on desktop and mobile".

Which IMO is related to the next thing in chain:

- It was really easy to subscribe to an RSS feed in 2000s; if you had a proper meta tag in the website header, the browser UI would show up a prominent RSS logo in the URL bar. Firefox had this built-in. Apparently Chrome too [1]. At some point this was killed. Perhaps due to mobile gaining traction, lack of space on mobile, and Chrome's annoying minimalist approach? Or perhaps because Google wanted to promote its own (R.I.P.) Google Reader, (R.I.P.) Google Wave, (R.I.P.) Google+?

(Having said that, I must admit I have declared RSS bankruptcy at some point, after subscribing to _way_ too many feeds).

- I remember there used to be a lot of blog platforms and discussion boards, people would write a lot of good stuff there, each of those platforms would create a de facto community.

Then, Google managed to make Blogger/Blogspot UX terrible; and most of other platforms died and got replaced with Facebook and Twitter. (I'm still not sure why many of those seemingly thriving platforms have died).

- Facebook and Twitter over years slowly change the algo, to not show you stuff you subscribed to, but random viral crap which optimizes "engangement".

How does it make logical sense? People are not numbers. What right do you, or anyone else, have to decide who shall live and who shall die?
Reducing people to numbers is a logical fallacy in itself.

"Search results plagued with ‘clickbait’ would have been an understatement 20 years ago.

The parts of the open web you access from Google/search (most of it) is almost entirely made-for-google' ranking algorithims.

The situation is worse than it is on closed social media, including Google's YouTube.

Professional YouTubers are also making content for rankings above all, but the fact that it's their own face/voice keeps some of the rot at bay.

Google is literally content made by uninterested copywriters exclusively for Google rankings.

I was recently looking for general travel advice on Google. I found it completely impossible. The content is all written by people (or ais) that had never visited. Everything reads like a middle school essay.

I often resort to searches in a smaller language, where economic incentives are 100X smaller than English.

Google created incentives for littering the web with garbage. Then they took away incentives for anyone else to even bother.

Google killed the thing that gave them life. They gave Vince Serf a sinecure and a hows-your-mother for the rest.

Thieves.
If you have enough reputation within Google Maps, your edits are applied immediately. I'm a "Local Guide" in my area, and I've made dozens of edits that all went through without question. If you build your rank high enough, they send out gifts occasionally (socks, gift cards, etc.).

You don't necessarily need to know who the video's author or uploader is. It may be sufficient to see what is depicted, when, and where.

The cookie law isn't stupid, it even says that giving consent should be as user-friendly as possible - a browser setting even. The problem with this (for the ad-industry, not for the users) is that there is no such thing as blanket consent, so they have to harass anyone for their rotten business model to work and to piss people off, they made these modals as obnoxious as possible out of spite.
But doing so, at least on an Apple device, requires me to explicitly say I trust the USB port I’ve plugged in to. Maybe some people would do that, but I’m sure as hell not going to blindly approve that when charging my phone on the bus.
Cookie law is seriously underrated in how much damages it has done. No visible gains for privacy either.
> How could we possibly know the such things as 'Nazi snatch squads' even existed

Even setting aside the description "Danish woman working for the Gestapo saw an order for Bohr’s arrest and tipped off Bohr’s brother" from this account, we can look at other accounts, like the chapter "Escape" from his biography at https://archive.org/details/nielsbohrmanhis00moor/page/300/m...

"Many years later at the Nuremberg trials it was revealed that the Nazis had intended to arrest Bohr on the day martial law was declared. There was, however, a dispute about it, and the decision was made to put off his arrest and deportation to Germany until the Nazis began their roundup of the Jews. In the general excitement, they thought the arrest of Bohr would attract less attention and the furor would be less."

The contents of the chapter are mostly aligned with the linked-to account, though the chapter says the beer bottle of heavy water was not true:

"The prosaic truth was quite different. Heavy water was used in the institute's accelerator. When the supply had to be replenished, someone remembered that Bohr had once had a bottle the Norwegian manufacturer had presented to him. The institute men were unable to find it and sent an underground query to Rozental in Stockholm. Rozental sent back full instructions about where to find it and pointed out that the bottle was unlabeled." - https://archive.org/details/nielsbohrmanhis00moor/page/308/m...

> Basically every paragraph is like this.

That is not lost on anyone. From the second page of the book chapter I linked to, "Bohr and Margrethe, feeling like the principals in a spy melodrama, as indeed they were".
I don’t think the thing about Safari naming tracks at all. Keep in mind that Safari has existed since 2003, during which Apple was in a very different place — back then there was no App Store or even any hint that such a thing might exist at some point and OS X was going all-in on open standards compliance, with things like RSS support being major touted features, and WebKit was quickly approaching Gecko in being a top class web engine (as opposed to the dominant Trident and Tasman in IE and IE for Mac, respectively).

As for in-app webviews, they’re not all made equally. Most apps use SFSafariViewController, which is an out-of-process Safari tab with its own app-specific cookies, local storage, etc that’s designed to give the user an opportunity to see if the page is really something they want to access and helps keeps their main browser’s tabs clean while also breaking several types of trackers. Of course though some notoriously nosy players like Facebook and TikTok don’t use this and instead implement their own which is chock full of tracking crap… this is probably an area where Apple could stand to be more heavyhanded (ban custom browser reimplementations except where those add demonstrable value or the app itself is a browser).

Also, web app devs aren’t blameless in user preference for native apps. For every web app done right, there’s three more that are shoddy and frustrating in ways that native apps generally aren’t (think breaking back button, scrolljacking, etc), some that are just plain badly built, and many that are unrepentant resource hogs. Often this applies even to web apps that have no counterpart native apps because their companies chose the web solely because it’s cheap to do so (resulting in cheap bad web apps). Are there crappy native apps too? Sure, but they’re somewhat less common and generally keep the crappiness somewhat bounded.

My grandfather was conscripted into the German armed forces as an engineer during WW2 and ended up in the belly of bomber planes, manually detaching bombs while hoisted above the open hatch. He refused to set foot on another plane for the rest of his life.
In my experience working in large Java shops for over a decade this is almost never true. Many Java developers are mortified by JavaScript and typically prefer Angular framework because it imposes a bloated OOP MVVM model that Java developers find more familiar. CSS is like fatal kryptonite (Superman poison) to most Java developers.

This could be why that employer is not happy with the quality of candidates. They are forcefully imposing Java with an iron fist and wondering why people aren’t thrilled to work fullstack like that, when most people are not thrilled to work fullstack like that.
The new generation knows mostly the web through jailed devices called "smartphones".

HN bubble strikes again.
Love the concept!

Let's hope it attracts some audience.

Btw: seems to work when you drop the /news at the end (just the site name). Perhaps make that a permanent feature? (unless you plan to have other content on that site of course). Or use a subdomain like HN does.
> BUT, they HAVE to be micro-fees. Because of the fact that, EVERYONE uses the internet now. Literally almost all of humanity. To charge 30$ per Month (like ChatGPT does) for such a basic service, would bring an Incomprehensible amount of money in the hands of a few providers, which would make them even more dominant than they already are, I'm afraid. Technologically, we have now 0 problems to implement a solid micro-fee system.

It's worth pointing out that facebook makes on average $16 per month per US user, simply by selling ads to show them. And it makes $3 per month per global user.
> Many people are actually vehemently against this reality. They wish to think of morality is a higher plane of thinking with internal logical consistency. They are wrong. Morality is an arbitrary set of inconsistent rules that directs human behavior for the sole purpose of survival. All else is illusion.

I agree, but the number and calibre of modern thinkers who have objective moralism leanings is interesting.

I suspect that it's because if you give up objective moralism you also risk giving up some amount of power/influence/purpose.
I disagree. Didactic code doesn't have to be complete, just clear enough to teach. Nor the teacher is not responsible for lazy students.

It's lazy and quite ignorant to criticize teaching material because it doesn't cover all possible corner cases, and because it doesn't account for a reader that just wants to copy the code without understanding it.

I like how it also references the other Fat Man, which raised plenty of similar philosophical questions about its use too.
Who? The people paying thousands of dollars for locked down mac devices they never modify, the ones giving all their data to social network and clicking on ads or the ones sending money to the NPC streamers to watch them licking an imaginary icecream?

HN is the opposite of their market.
The person that wrote this article is a good writer. I wonder he couldn't use this skill to get a better paying job? Maybe as a technical writer? There are loads of software and hardware products that need documentation, but programmers and engineers generally hate writing documentation and aren't good at it. And many people who can write have no technical chops. Maybe it is something he could start doing 'on the side' if he has the spare capacity? Perhaps some on HN could start him off with a small side job?
This is a lesson nobody should learn. Blind disobedience ~never leads to anything good, and if you can be imprisoned forever because you were afraid of the rain, maybe it's society that is wrong.
Bear in mind that prior to desktop publishing tools (which arrived circa 1986-88) laying out a magazine/large format book like WER was a time-consuming and labour intensive job; typesetting was a photographic process using a phototypesetter to etch the printing plates at best (digital phototypesetting was around but very bleeding-edge), and printing was also a mechanical process. Even with a streamlined workflow, allocating an entire month to the production process would make it a tight fit. Then add another month for distribution around the US (most likely via railfreight to intermediate wholesale warehouses before bundles were shipped out to bookstores). Finally note that the date on the cover of a periodical is when the store clerks take the item off sale and strip the covers to return them as evidence of destruction in return for credit (any sold -- no covers provided -- copies must then be paid for, to the wholesaler and ultimately the publisher).

If that sounds like a stone-age process ... well, it's the way publishing used to be done: it predates computerization and containerization by some decades, and it was only beginning to change in the 1980s.

To make matters worse, the writing/editing process would be mediated entirely by sending drafts back and forth via the mail, so you can reasonably add a couple of weeks to the process of writing and then approving a draft compared to what it would take today.

Upshot: this issue was probably finalized 3-4 months before the date on the cover. Microsoft Word was quite possibly not available to reviewers in time to make it into the magazine.

(Source: I used to write software reviews for Computer Shopper -- the British version of the title, not the same as the US one -- in the late 80s to early 90s. Smaller country, different tech by then, but it was still a tedious back-and-forth with printed drafts in envelopes with stamps on them (and sometimes floppy disks!).)

Very dinner party of you. Deftly avoiding addressing the ethical considerations of the trolley problem, while discussing the style of the essay!--much like you say the paper does in your criticism of it! Hahaha! :)

I guess that's one solution to the trolley problem: avoid it completely! Haha :) Tho as I learned just now from another comment here, that's call "moral indulgence", the desire to keep one's hands clean.

I'll show my cards then (otherwise it seems unfair, tut-tutting you for avoiding the problem while avoiding it myself! :)), if I imagine I'm facing this in real life right now, here's what I'd do:

I will save the many and sacrifice the few. I'd feel bad about it tho, and apologize to the family of the life I took, and try to contribute to their lives in an attempt to make it easier on them, knowing that nothing could make it up to them. Eventually, I'd probably move on with the understanding: I don't know if it was the right thing, but it was necessary, and I did it. I don't feel good about the life I took, but I'm happy about the ones that I saved. Mixed-feelings, that's life.

It is scary tho to say what you'd do, because you feel someone's about to judge you. Oh well...I suppose that's one of the points of this :)
It actually is closer to 5 years by my estimation, but that's pretty much it.

If you start with completely empty land, at first you will have increase in biomass, but after some time for new trees to grow you will need to have some other ones to die. The trees might keep exchanging CO2 to O2, but you will also get steady increase in emitted CO2 either through forest fires or microorganisms or animals eating and decomposing and literally breathing the CO2 back to atmosphere.

When things are in balance, forests do not actually remove any CO2 because any CO2 removed is balanced out by new CO2 emitted. Only planting a new forest on a new land binds some new CO2, and that only temporarily until the forest matures.
> The lesson it's supposed to teach is to be helpful to others, and that disobedience can lead to punishment.

Unquestionable obedience to the company owner under the threat of immurement is not a basic part of parenting.

I also question how formatting our children to unquestionably accept fighting and dying in armed conflicts as being healthy and in their best interests.

The Fascist motto was “believe, obey, fight.” It is in line with the ideas you're trying to pass off as good parenting.
