"Need" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

I live in London, UK. We have lots of public transport. About half of my journeys can be done via public transport, about half of them can't.

By can't, I mean that they are significantly slower, would require taxis on one or both ends, or simply are not possible due to one end being semi rural or rural.

The half that can't represent far more mileage, emissions, etc. They also frankly are most if not all of the fun ones.

Public transport works if you live a solely metropolitan life. If you do anything else, it just doesn't scale at all.

This is of course ignoring the fact that in my own car I don't have to experience feral beings.
> (a) May not retain personal identifying information used to verify age once the age of an account holder or a person seeking an account has been verified.

That's good for the people being verified. But it means the companies can't retain proof that they did, in fact, verify age. So how do companies accused of this defend themselves, especially if they're in the right? That's a bit scary in a state where the governor used his power to retaliate against the largest employer in the state for expressing their view of a law that affects their employees.

Imagine if engineers at Intel were told: design circuits that an electronics novice can understand!

Sometimes, the novice doesn't understand the problem that the code is solving, no matter how the code is written, and even if it is documented in detail.

Now, sure, if people who easily understand what the code does have trouble seeing how the code does it, that could be a problem. Especially if the code uses a paradigm that they already understand.

If code solves a problem they understand, but with some unfamiliar paradigm like logic programming or functional programming, that's their problem, though.

"Don't use logic programming or functional programming because some novices don't understand it" isn't very good general advice. In situations where it makes sense, it's not about the quality of the code but about programmers being easily replaceable with novices off the street.

I don't see why any programmer should, as a matter of habit, write any code that can be maintained by people less knowledgeable or skilled than he or she. Unless it's stipulated as a contractual requirement. In whose interest is that, anyway?
I used AI to summarize the article for me, before deciding whether to read the whole thing. I came here for the comments instead.
My first reaction as well. His bio [1] does seem to support the assertion, and I've heard of his work on prediction markets and the term the Great Filter, but that same bio is also all sorts of red-flaggy to me. He has "1100 media mentions?" You need to put that in your university bio page?

Voting should be compulsory in my opinion and I don't really care all that much for politics.

Here in Australia it is and it's a fairly normal thing to do and because it's mandatory you don't just have people that are mad about or have the most extremist ideas going to vote.

Voting should be mandatory, the person sitting at the top step should be there based on the votes of the people and those people should be voting. Regardless of how the vote has been cast in their minds.

It's not a question of are you going to vote but who are you voting for.

A country like the US that in my view is so patriotic and whose elections span the attention of the globe, it surprised me to see that voting wasn't mandatory.
Several comments here suggesting that using password managers for TOTP defeats the purpose of TOTP as a second factor. I don't agree.

I strongly prefer other factors (U2F/FIDO(2)/WebAuthn/Passkeys/whatever) but unfortunately TOTP is still extremely prevalent. Worse is when only a single secondary factor can be registered, in which case even if something other than SMS or TOTP is available, I slightly bias away from hardware security tokens in order to have a clear recovery path. I can at least back up most TOTP keys.

I agree that having a second vault for TOTP seems superior but from a UX and recovery perspective it's not so clear. Are both vaults available on all devices? Are they usually unlocked simultaneously? Is it likely that one vault but not the other would be stolen? Or you have a separate device or air-gap and now the usability adds friction. It seems like diminishing returns.

Conversely a single vault still offers significant protection from many attack vectors, including keyloggers and phishing. Even if access is obtained via MITM'ing a TOTP, the blast radius is often limited to a single session. Many services have poor session security, once established, but many do not. And in my experience it's still nearly impossible to get rid of SMS 2FA.

TOTP is almost always strictly better than SMS 2FA, and storing your TOTP keys alongside your passwords doesn't really diminish the effectiveness of TOTP very much at all. Unless you have the keys themselves exposed, they're still closer to "something you have" than "something you know", at least from where I'm sitting.

Their main weakness is that they can be backed up or copied at all, as well as MITM'd. How I securely store them doesn't have much impact.
You are aware of your emotions by their physical impact.
Emotions are in fact sensations, bodily sensations.

Observe those, step back from those, try and control those.

Observe your mind as well.

Slow your pace on purpose.

You may notice some body tension. Consciously observe and release those.

When breathing, you should feel the air going from your nostrils to the back of your throat (larynx).

If there is no reason to feel anxious but you still are, go find what is making you feel that way in the depth of your mind and make it stop. Look at what is happening in your brain, take some distance, and often it will stop on its own. Be patient until it does.

> utility companies are not embracing transmission expansion. They don’t want their power plants to face competition or their regional alliances to lose control over their networks

Utility monopolies are both vertically integrated, and horizontally integrated over a geographic region. Although this made sense in the 1920s, when this system was devised, it’s causing perverse incentives today. A healthy energy system may still include utilities, but in the 21st century they will not be able to be completely vertically integrated. We are going to need to see them give up generation and cede that to markets.
If I may ask, what's Perspective - couldn't find anything on a first google search.
I don't think that's the reason. First, airlines don't own airports. So they don't benefit from your spending there. Second, they pay to airports directly (as in gate/landing fees) and indirectly by having to hire staff at the airport.

Flights with connection may cost less for various reasons. I'd think route optimization and price discrimination (direct is shorter and more desirable) would be the most popular ones.
The argument has another side, equally preposterous: That because of the increased productivity we should all be wealthy, working a few hours a day to do the "same" work, or being rewarded proportionally more (of course, inflation adjusted) for working more than that.

It's preposterous because relative wages have stagnated relative to productivity boons, but oh man has standard of living increased as you say. A person would have to work lifetimes to get an iPhone-equivalent luxury (if it existed) back then. Now basically anyone working (and a bunch not) have them.
Please re-read the comment, thank you.

In addition, there are single-threaded and thread-per-core executors with different future bounds. It is that Tokio puts more requirements on Send and Sync because it is a proper implementation with worker-per-core (configurable to be otherwise) + work stealing.
I have a circa-2008 Dell Precision M4400 with a similar 15.4” 1920x1200 display. Still looks pretty solid by modern standards!

16:10 was pretty common in laptops until the HD marketing craze kicked in, which plagued us with those infernal 1366x768 panels that can still be found in bargain basement laptops to this day. It started in consumer laptops but eventually business/workstation laptops succumbed too, with the only big name holdout being Apple (which only ever made one 16:9 laptop, the somewhat-maligned 11” MacBook Air).

Heck it was common in desktop monitors too. For a long time Apple and Dell’s flagship monitors were 30” 2560x1600. This category unfortunately has yet to escape the 16:9 curse…
An alternative perspective: https://www.nrcm.org/programs/climate/proposed-cmp-transmiss...

A majority of Mainers opposed the transmission corridor for a variety of reasons(1) for years until they finally lost to the business interest, who in this case were the ones “profiteering,” not the ones fighting it.

(1)

A)Won’t reduce climate-changing pollution, and may actually increase it.

B) Cuts 53 miles of new transmission lines through undeveloped forests in Maine’s North Woods, harming brook trout, deer, other wildlife, and the tourism economy.

C) Jeopardizes the construction of new in-state renewable energy projects and creation of clean energy jobs.

D) Generates billions of dollars of profit for CMP and Hydro-Quebec while offering very little to Maine people and businesses.
Funnily, that's what JSON is for Javascript.
There is a real risk in assuming that prescriptions, rather than access to medications, means a person has a higher quality of life.

That is absolutely true for some, but for some of the most common medications the underlying conditions themselves may be avoidable. Being able to get prescription drugs for short term ailments is extremely beneficial, but short of a truly permanent condition I have to assume quality of life would be better if the drug wasn't deemed medically necessary (meaning it actually wasn't needed, not trying to parse medical diagnoses).

I learned these lessons the hard way.

I have, through my life, oscillated from one extreme to the other - at school, this manifested as an utter indifference to lessons, preferring to read under the desk, yet a week of frantic learning in which I would absorb the year or term’s lessons. I was mostly time drunk at this point.

Come graduation, I had an urgent need for income, to support both myself and family members who suddenly found themselves in a hard place. I worked a day job, a night job, two side gigs, and burned the candle fiercely for four years.

One of the side gigs grew, became a business. Ten more years of utterly relentless and increasingly miserable grind. Lucre, too, but at a steep cost.

2016. Burned out. Health so bad I earnestly thought I would probably soon die. Quit.

Three years of time drunkenness. Travel. Drugs. More travel. More drugs. Lots of time staring into space and wondering who I was. Nothing was fulfilling, even doing things I knew I once dreamt of one day doing - the memory of desire was there, but the actuality, absent. I had utterly internalised the idea that my labour was my identity, and that I was without want or need. It seemed intractable, and no amount of r&r found me any improved.

Then, we moved off grid. Seemingly the last step in a spiral, instead found me suddenly very much occupied with the basics of modern life. Water. Power. Shelter. Floods. Fires. You name it.

That, and therapy, have finally found me at a virtuous mean. My cycles are no longer decadal, but hourly. I work. I play. I learn. I waste time. I use it well.

I find myself with a child now, to boot - and she is the virtuous mean embodied - work and play, all in one.

Anyway. These lessons are easily spoken, but hard earned.

> It's unfortunate math.

True, but only in the sense of "the math" itself being a big McNamara fallacy. Not only does GDP have some potential pitfalls, but "more people working harder" doesn't necessarily mean working toward success or future globe domination etc.
It absolutely is a bad thing. We only have educated guesses on long term side effect of prescription drugs, especially when we combine multiple drugs. It also means our average adult is unwell enough for prescriptions drugs to be deemed medically necessary.

Some of the most common prescriptions will actually get you deemed unfit for military service. That's not great if the worst happens and we have to stand up a large army.
Why merely compare ourselves to the most mismanaged places in the world when we can imitate them under everyones' nose[1] by directly importing the model into an oft forgotten small patch of American soil in the middle of the Pacific that's out of sight and out of mind, then entrap hordes of Chinese sweatshop laborers at slave wages, brutal hours, and deplorable living conditions to manufacture garments labeled "Made in USA" for a portfolio of popular household brands?

>Lisp is constantly evolving and keeps influencing other languages, like Elixir, Julia and others.

A language doesn't have to be alive to evolve or influence other languages.

>Clojure - a language that many big and small companies succesfully use in production.

This sounds less dead, but Clojure can get away with being semi dead due to its interopt with normal java libraries. No one at my university or the people I have worked with have used Clojure, so it is at most niche.

>People building their Hammerspoon, AwesomeWM and Neovim configs with Fennel.

These are configured with Lua. They do not support Fennel by default from what I can tell.

>Researches keep publishing papers, experimenting in Racket

Researches alone can't make a language reach mass adoption.

>Even writing books about type theory, which may sound strange since most Lisps are dynamically typed.

And such languages produced in those are incredibly niche and likely dead.

>Nobody stopping anyone from writing a Javascript transpiler/compiler that emits Elisp code to configure Emacs.

This misses the point. Javascript is the most well known language among developers. Emacs should be making their extension platform attractive to developers, allowing people to use a language they already know is better than forcing them to learn a new, unfamiliar language.

>>Compare JavaScript vs Emacs Lisp on Google Trends.

>What's your point?

The probability that a developer knows JSON and Javascript is much higher than that developers knowing Elisp, or even a Lisp at all.
I'm not even advocating for socialism, or any system of economics. The disagreement is more fundamental than that. I'm advocating for having some compassion and empathy toward human beings.

There are very reasonable arguments to be made that capitalism is the best way to achieve compassionate and empathetic results. But you're not even on board with that more fundamental goal, you're just dismissing it as socialism.

And I AM moralizing here, and I AM personally criticizing you. If you see someone advocating for basic compassion and empathy toward human beings and all you can think is "socialism = fail", you're a bad person. Being able to have compassion and empathy towards others is at the core of any ethical system I can imagine.

Grow a conscience.
All good. I have nothing to add to that. Real life people who know you, would have more to say.

I hope it works out.
Virtually all airport schedule signage (arrivals, departures) tells the time.

Which is to say that clocks are integrated into the most salient signage furniture.

The pervasive televisions also show signage, and at ticket desks there are often clocks which show international time in major destinations.

people in single-family homes are still quite sensitive to gasoline powered leaf blowers starting at 7am, motorcycles with straight pipes, and cars with ridiculous sound systems, though those may be more of a problem with US culture than in Japan. Fair point that you can just use more insulation, but the problem is, again, cost, so it doesn't happen unless it has to, eg Minnesota winters, but that's for temperature. Sound reduction is a nice benefit and not why they're spending the money.

Or simply that I'm not old enough to have been over the Monte Bello's test site when it was live, whereas we were contracted to fly radiometric surveys over the Pokhran-II test site on the day of the first explosion, and crew were detained until after the completion of the Chagai-I response.

If it helps, I've flown over many a former test site, many a tailings pond for a uranium mine in many parts of the world. It's a dull fact that the Pokran-II site is the only such place that went 'live' on a work day (in my experience at least).

I don't know if I'd be able to characterize the places I've had bad managers at by the existence of them, but some common elements among those bad managers are that they're anxious, passive, stressed out people who go from IC to Director, but can't then stay out of the kitchen, and aren't great communicators.

The best manager I've ever had engaged me on a technical level and asked for my help outside of my immediate responsibilities just frequently enough, had been through the same shit code I now had to deal with and left me to it, and was forthcoming, transparent, and collaborative during 1:1s.

The worst manager I've ever had tried to repeatedly trick me into admitting fault regarding some inane pet issue they were clearly stewing on, failed to identify any kind of clear success criteria for any given task, and possibly just put me on mute during 1:1s.
>And since population growth in Japan has flatlined and gone negative it's not a big surprise to me that they don't have a ton of demand for new land/housing.

This is a myth. There's tons of demand for housing in Tokyo, and other large cities. There's no demand in small, remote towns, and the population is moving from rural areas to the big cities, plus there's more immigration, so demand hasn't fallen.

Ask HN: I never managed to have good feelings about my managers, what can I do?
Especially when they are the kinds of people who only care about money, which has been always the case. Our CEO for example always repeats "It is all about cash." and never asks if we are happy with our work or not. Vacations get rejected because it doesn't follow the rules even if it doesn't make any sense, if an employee doesn't have any tasks to do and wants to take a day off at the end of the week, they can't, it has to be after two weeks. We are being asked to submit 40-hour timesheets every week, no matter what happens, to the point that some employees started lying about the numbers.

The world seems to go crazy and it would be nice if some managers noticed that and tried to help the employees through these stressful times, but no, it is like they insist that this capitalist thinking that doesn't make anyone happy should continue no matter what.

Now, I always feel as if I am in the army tbh.
Not everyone should need a generator and a fuel store. Not everyone lives in housing which can even accommodate storing these safely, or operating them safely. These are exactly the issues I'd expect a well functioning government to actually solve, not "let natural selection work it out". What a horrible take, please can we not make light of 246 people prematurely dying across 77 counties in Texas, or imply somehow those 246 people were at fault?
