Is there a communist government with a robust worker and environmental safety regime? None I’m aware of.

Guess what? The free market didn’t provide one either. It doesn’t actually provide a lot of things needed for a robust society.

It’s almost as if Wall Streets communism vs capitalism is a giant canard to distract from very basic, proven, and effective socioeconomic reforms.
In America, sure. Come over to Europe where successful companies are the politician's escape-goat. "The world is burning, and it's because of the rich, business owners, and high paying businessmen".

Furthermore, the European elite hate the successful american companies with a passion, and they purposely undermine them to help their own companies instead.
If we're code, and it for all practical purposes is indistinguishable from what we consider reality, what does it matter?

Though if we knew, and had a way out, we'd then have a choice to make if we're satisfied with that or want to try to see if there is another layer outside that again.

Of course, if we can't find an "escape" it isn't proof that there is nothing outside.
You must be new to this, because denialist outrage over the "hockey stick" has been the core, or quite honestly the only, numerically base objection that I have experienced.

And despite all this effort, quibbles around minor changes of statistical methods, in the end the hockey stick plot has been vindicated. And then impugned and vindicated again.

This defamation case is a cap on the whole sad saga, but it is completely representative of the whole thing. Denialism has no factual or scientific basis, and the defamation suit shows just how immoral the paid-for denialists are.
Its only treason if you undermine the US economic and industrial capacity with the intent of betraying the United States for the enemy. If you do it for other reasons such as profit then there is no treason. For example there are teachers striking in my town right now, they may be undermining a essential US government function and you could argue that this aids our enemies but because that isn't their intent it is not treason.

> "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

> the Court explained that a person could be convicted of treason only if he or she adhered to an enemy and gave that enemy “aid and comfort.” As the Court explained: “A citizen intellectually or emotionally may favor the enemy and harbor sympathies or convictions disloyal to this country’s policy or interest, but, so long as he commits no act of aid and comfort to the enemy, there is no treason. On the other hand, a citizen may take actions which do aid and comfort the enemy—making a speech critical of the government or opposing its measures, profiteering, striking in defense plants or essential work, and the hundred other things which impair our cohesion and diminish our strength—but if there is no adherence to the enemy in this, if there is no intent to betray, there is no treason.”

Well the generous argument is that the average person isn’t eating out so much, but yeah welcome to Californian water culture. It’s brain dead because of entrenched farming and industry interests.

They also tell you to cut back on personal usage. But that amounts to 10% compared with agriculture’s 40% (used to grow economic crops like alfalfa which we send to China, not food crops) and 50% is lost to the environment.

> Initial water savings came mainly from more efficient indoor plumbing and fixtures; more recent efforts have also focused on reducing outdoor use, which accounts for nearly half of all urban use.

If you put an HTTP3 nginx server in front of HTTP1 applications you get a lot of the UX benefits… parallel requests that make bundling, and to an extent tools like GraphQL and Falcon, somewhat obsolete and in turn applications much less complicated.
There's a comment from people that do not like sky diving along the lines of "why would I jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" The typical response from pilots or mechanics is "there's no such thing as a perfectly good airplane".
could it yes, but that would be predicated on some one with a space agency funding it. NASA, good luck convincing congress to fund it enough to maintain what they have, let alone solve a problem half of congress deny exist for ideological reasons. European space agency smaller than NASA. Russia to busy spending all of their money trying to take over their neighbors, china maybe not holding my breath for the country building more coal plants and that has daily air reports for their capital to do anything about climate change, India to poor.

I mean, that's true, but not relevant at the scale of the CO2 in the atmosphere. Think about breathing from a paper bag - your exhaled breath contains about 4% CO2, and after several cycles of re-breathing the same air, that percentage will increase, and you'll start to notice the effects you described, in the range of parts per hundred.

CO2 from the ambient air you breathe is currently 0.04%, in the range of parts per ten thousand, two orders of magnitude lower than where you feel the effects you described.

No, because this is a civil suit, not a criminal one.

In a criminal one you are correct -- if you try to rob a bank and try but fail to kill a bunch of hostages, you're still going to jail for possibly the rest of your life.

But in a civil trial, the main point is the damages. Yes there can be a punitive element on top, but only if there are damages in the first place. If you attempt something bad but don't succeed, a civil suit can't punish you. It's not like a criminal trial.

Old style Java code often exhibits low CC, and as you indicate this is not necessarily a good thing. The actual logic is often spread out in a multitude of helpers, proxies, deep inheritance chains, and unneeded abstractions. The end result is a system that is very difficult to reason about.

Also, in general terms over use of DRY can lead you here.

In many cases it is better to “risk” higher CC by concentrating logic where it makes sense.
No, the reasons go on and on. China is a f***ing wrecking ball, and Huawei is one of their little puppets into the West.
For the VC elite-types they don’t really live exclusively in the US. Most of them likely have NZ passports already. Look at how all the tech CEOs and rich guys left the US during Covid.

The (former) US wealthy elite don’t have the same strong ties with the US as they did in the past. They see themselves as international citizens free to go where it benefits them most.

Insurance cares more about actual crashes. Of which there have not been a lot.

If anything all this attention should reduce insurance costs, since the planes will now be even more reliable than before.

Insurance does not care about the appearance of risk, or bad press.
> They aren't against repair, they just want to make sure that they make a lot of money from repairs

Last time I went to an Apple Store I asked about repairing the power button of a (then) three year old device and the answer was “buy a new one, your device is too old”. So, I put in doubt that they favor repairs, as in the end new devices make more money.

Needless to say, my device still works perfectly (except for the button) two years after that comment, and probably will do so for several years more.

If someone or some group wants to buy an old theater and try to revitalize it, fine. But if someone wants to buy it and tear it down and build apartments, or convert the space into a restaurant or something else, that should be fine too. Most local theaters are not historically significant, they are just old.
If you personally believe in freedom of speech, then you will give your political opponents a platform to disagree with you and debate them on the merits (if any) of their arguments. This principle of honor is what motivated the first amendment and so people confuse the principle with the amendment.

The Great Man theory is trumped by the "Went to the right schools and my parents have connections" theory. For both C-suite and politicians.
That would only be true if you were trying to change carbon back into energy dense hydrocarbons. Accelerated weathering exposes rock that reacts with CO2 without any external energy input. The reaction actually produces energy, though not enough to be used as a practical power source. You need to do work to expose the rock, but this can be orders of magnitude less than the energy released when the CO2 was produced.
#2 is particularly insightful. I’m an engineer who strongly dislikes social dynamics, so this point resonates with me.

> Cancel the standup and go work on the server.

If someone spent 3 hours on it the previous day and couldn't get it to work, that extra 15 minutes on it are not really critical, wouldn't you agree?

> The standup rarely helps here

The standup is not intended to solve the problem, but to inform. It's to say "Hey, it's down. Tried all day to get stakeholders to work on it. It's still down because X[1]. We may not hit our commits for this sprint (or month, or quarter, or whatever)".

The goal is to keep everyone on the same page, and make a point of sync. They could have emailed this out, but in my experience, half the team isn't going to read the emails. Or they'll read it and forget it immediately because they're busy with Y. As much as people like to say it, I've found highlighting blockers in the SUM more effective.

At the other end of the spectrum, you don't want a "Oh, the server went down 5 days ago so I couldn't work on X" to be followed with "Why didn't you tell us?!" With the SUM, a lot of those surprises go away.

As an aside, in SUM-less teams, I often have seen "Why didn't you tell us?!" followed by a response pointing to the email that was sent 3 days ago telling everyone. With the SUM, if you have a good scrum master (external to your team), he will force everyone not to ignore it: "OK, this person has been blocked for 3 days due to an external team. Can anything be done about it? If not, I think it's time to inform management/stakeholders of the delay in their timelines".

As another aside: The other purpose of the SUM is to prevent someone from doing something wrong for days on end. It's common to have someone say he's blocked because of X, to be told straight away "What are you doing? You don't need X at all! We need to talk" The conversation resumes between the two after the SUM. In Scrumless teams, I've seen people work on the wrong thing for weeks because no on else knew the developer misunderstood the problem.

BTW, I'm not a fan of Scrum. When done well, it's great. But it rarely is done well. However, I've not seen Scrumless teams perform better than one with an effective Scrum. And a poorly run Scrum is often the worst of them all.

[1] X could be the team responsible isn't responding, has higher priorities, are working on it but haven't resolved it, etc.

One of the most distressing parts of the simulation argument, is that I can't really get away from the idea that if we are in a simulation, the most likely simulation to be in would be some broken dev or QA build.

It's always suspect when a big company asks for more regulation-- OpenAI, FTX, etc. It's usually in the name of the public good or fairness etc, but they may actually be looking for legal recognition of otherwise dubious activities, ways to block out new competition, or they could be trying to curtail inevitable regulation by writing the law themselves in the most favorable way possible.

Because nobody has fixed the bad UX yet, I'm still on IPv4, and like 5 million other people, have no incentive to move to IPv6 until the consortium of PMs of IPv6 do some user research (e.g. read HN) and work together to make the UX better or invent a better successor that people actually want to use.

They're all wondering why IPv6 adoption is so slow, I'm telling them right here plain and simple.
Did they not leave a voicemail at least? Article doesn't seem to mention that one way or the other. I at least glance at voicemails from unknown numbers to determine if they're spam or not.

This response is puzzling to me. They know that a foreign government is behind it and their response is, he we'd really like to find these guys? If it had been a physical attack I imagine it would spark a war. Why ate cyberattacks taken less seriously?

What "managed decline"? The U.S. is arguably as strong as its ever been, and China's economy has been crashing recently.

You can always make your own laws.

Whether or not anyone else is willing to go along with it is another matter. Making a law does not automatically compel others to accept it as their law. Indeed, those who believe in the French civil law system, which describes the majority of Quebec residents, are not likely to accept laws that are made outside of that framework.

But they might. The only thing that would try to stop it is other people, but if those other people are also on board then anything is possible.
I was informed in 2020 that COVID can't spread at protests, so it only makes sense to make masking illegal there.
This might sound obvious, but it’s often conflated - make sure you understand what exact business you’re in.

Eg, you say you’re an “engineer” but it sounds like you want to sell a consulting service. Make sure you align your messaging to match what you’re exactly selling. Because many might confuse hearing “engineer” with you starting a product company.

Also, if you’re in the consulting business - make sure you understand what it means to be an independent consultant. Because cash flow, lead gen, etc are all real unexpected challenges for folks in this specific business.

Then, what kind of liability do you need to be a consultant. Are you going to bill based on an hourly rate or fixed fee. Are you doing pure staff aug, or something else.

Again, it all come down to understanding what exact business you’re in.

If we are in a simulation there's nothing but code preventing us from being gods in every way that matters.

Who'd want a "real" existence any way, if you can be in a simulation where control of the simulation would mean you could change your entire physical reality?

If we are in a simulation it also weakens the presumption that there even is any such thing as a corporeal existence - maybe it's infinite layers of simulations.
People need a way to store money. Sometimes, the government-approved ways of doing that have severe problems.

Gold would be worth much less than it actually is if people weren't using it to store money. It is easier to store bitcoin than to store gold. (E.g., bitcoin is easier to hide from thieves than gold is.)
I apologize, I think you may be correct there.

Could you please refer me to a graph showing the relationship between BTC and inflation? Because inflation over the last 12 months is relatively low, at 3.4%, while BTC is very high, at $47,621. Then again, BTC hit a high of $65,000 back in November of 2021, when inflation rates were indeed high at 6.8%.

This seems to suggest a weak relationship at best between BTC and inflation rates.
Consumers like being able to afford things, preferably through increased wages. Since we no longer allocate economic growth towards wages, but instead towards equities, we see the need for cheaper products.

If you look at the history of the DJIA, it wasn't really until the 1980s that it began to consistently take off (https://www.macrotrends.net/1319/dow-jones-100-year-historic...). That money previously went to a wider variety of outlets into American society, like taxes paid to the government or wages paid to workers. When Milton Friedman argued that companies exist solely to return value to shareholders, shareholders fought successfully to see the value diverted away from those outlets and towards them. If your consumers are workers who no longer see rising wages, and you want them to buy your stuff, you have to find cheaper ways to sell things, so the argument was made that the PRC would politically liberalize if the world made its products there. The alternative was to not have all of the money go back to shareholders, and that was, of course, unacceptable.
I don't think it's legally "fraud."

I can't say it's unethical either. Some third party made a place where people can publicly post things and try to make them popular.
