Abstract:

> Economists frequently make judgments about economic welfare, but there is today little discussion of the foundations of welfare economics. It is assumed either that there is unanimity of interests, or that there is general acceptance of utilitarianism. This means that economics cannot address many key policy issues and that important differences in ethical views cannot be recognized. This paper argues that it is a legitimate exercise of economic analysis to examine the consequences of different ethical positions, taking case studies of employment as a macroeconomic objective, and the role of capabilities in the measurement of economic performance.
Absolutely this.

I had the exact same reaction: "mind" as in "mind-body" for me refers to things such as reasoning, qualia, intentionality, the fact that neural patterns somehow receive "real meaning".

The mind may or may not be immaterial. This age-old question has not been resolved in any way, not even close.

> I am realizing something that Companies do not seem very welcoming towards entrepreneurship

I'm not a HR person, but I do interviews. If someone introduced themselves as an "indie maker" or "solopreneur", that'd be a major turn-off. These terms are very easy to interpret as "unemployed person who tries to stay busy" or worse "unemployed person who tries to misrepresent themselves". Staying busy is not a bad thing, but is obviously unimpressive when compared with folks with actual work experience. Calling that "enterpreneurship" may even come across as lying to yourself or being deceitful. It's not surprising that "companies don't seem very welcoming towards [it]".

Maybe focus on the skills you got out of it that are relevant to your job prospects, or better cut it entirely from your resume and just market yourself as a junior dev; or whatever position/level you can aspire to based on your non-solopreneur work history.

A bit about the author:

> A student of James Meade, Atkinson virtually single-handedly established the modern British field of inequality and poverty studies. He worked on inequality and poverty for over four decades.[3][4]

[…]

> Atkinson's work was predominantly on income distributions. But he also worked on a wide field of other economic and social questions including taxation, wealth distribution, the economics of the welfare state, health economics, and poverty.[14] In his long career he published over 350 research papers and authored 24 books.[15] Characteristic for much of his work is a combination of theoretical and applied perspectives.[16]

The judge has a history of actual censorship, here's a case that the NYT wrote about, where he got a Brazilian magazine's news article deleted for "fake news" for writing a true article about the official who promoted him, as soon as he got powers to censor without due process or checks and balances.

> To run the investigation, Mr. Toffoli tapped Mr. Moraes, 53, an intense former federal justice minister and constitutional law professor who had joined the court in 2017.
> In his first action, Mr. Moraes ordered a Brazilian magazine, Crusoé, to remove an online article that showed links between Mr. Toffoli and a corruption investigation. Mr. Moraes called it “fake news.”

> Mr. Moraes later lifted the order after legal documents proved the article was accurate.

That article is from 2022 but has a lot of details of overreach by the judge, like search raids on the homes of businessman who just happened to be in a group chat where someone was joking about a coup.
It was likely created by an act of government/royalty/etc.

The UK law formalizing the structure of LLCs didn't really come around until the 1800s. Think of how many institutions in the UK are older than that (e.g., Bank of England is from 1694).

Or for something that is a little more distinct from the government itself--Hudson's Bay Company in Canada was formed in 1670. Canada didn't exist yet and the laws weren't on the books. It was created by royal charter. It's currently owned by an American private investment firm.

How CrowdStrike Stopped Everything
We had this problem at my last job - ended up building our own system cause nothing really fit.

Some tips from what we learned:
1. don't use shared spreadsheets or docs, way too easy to mess up
2. need granular access controls + audit logs
3. automate onboarding/offboarding as much as possible
4. rotate creds regularly, especially for sensitive stuff
5. use SSO where you can to minimize password sprawl

There are some decent enterprise password managers out there, but they get pricey fast as you scale. We ended up using a combo of 1password for team passwords + a custom system built on top of vault by hashicorp for machine creds/api keys etc.

One thing that worked well was having "password owners" for each system who were responsible for rotations, access reviews etc. helps distribute the work.

If you want something more turnkey, you might want to check out hoop.dev - does a lot of this stuff out of the box, including automated access reviews, just-in-time access etc.

Whatever you do, just please don't use a shared google doc :)

> Updating HDD firmware is something you do to resolve a very specific problem, not ... just because it's available.

It is important to check if there is an update and what has been fixed. Like with any software, it may introduce new bugs, but blindly suggesting to "not touch, if it's not broken" is harmful too. Some time ago Samsung rolled out SSDs that were self-destructing after very short period of time and fixed this in firmware. If your SSD breaks or start having problems it is already too late to update, you have to be proactive. And hardware vendors doesn't release firmware updates for nothing, in most cases there is very good reason for that.

At my age I've learned the core factors in decision making driving many errors are emotions & politics. Never underestimate the power of these.

As such - lay down the information such as mentioned in this article is fantastic, but always take into account intangible elements.

Such as in Poker - bluffing is an integral part of decision processing, so make sure you get similar variations and variables.

The best on paper decisions are sometimes just not good - code, life, products... whatever pros and cons you've put forward.

I'm not sure I understand. I'm referring to the assailant crow that allegedly flew around the building and up to the balcony while the original poster was indoors ascending to the eighth floor. I'm not sure how it can be known, given the details in the post, that the assailing crow wasn't a third crow other than the two on the balcony.
Seems a particularly bad strategy for restaurants, seen countless restaurants that started as one location with queues down the block, to two locations then eventually they're at 5 or more and you go and the food is awful, like the ingredients might all be correct but the way its prepared just tastes gross compared to what it used to be because the process or the passion hasn't transferred correctly.

The odd one manages it but too many just end up with low talent, low invested staff slopping out bad food that has none of the implementation or taste that funded the expansion and the whole things slowly collapses in on itself.
The thing is, as a consumer I can't tell any difference between the technical solutions of Netflix vs Disney+, HBO Max or basically any other streaming service at this point, which proves that it's not actually that hard of a problem, at least today. I'm sure they were very innovative when they pioneered streaming but this is 2024. I'm sure their tech is better in multiple ways, but not in ways that actually lead to an edge, or is even noticeable to consumers. Now it's all about what content they have.

For comparison, I can tell a MacBook is better than a Windows laptop in 100 different ways. I can tell that the touch screen UI and self driving features in a Tesla is 15 years ahead a Toyota, but I cannot tell Netflix is better than its competitors.
We have several legacy products still running on CF, all running rock solid, but also all ported to Lucee these days. I still like CF but I'm an old fogey that started with it in the late 90's Allaire days. I often wonder if it had been open source from its inception if it would have grown faster than PHP. It really was a 'swiss army knife' of web development. It's still around here and there but mostly in larger corps that don't blink at Adobe's crazy licensing fees. Most everyone else in the communities I talk to has jumped to Lucee.

OLX is basically a second hand flea market. Only form of protection you have is the price: should be so low as to not hurt you much in case the product is defective and seller ghosts you.

My brother bought a couple of brand new smartphones for like 50% discount and they were genuine. It works more often than not but there's always the risk.

I have no dog in this race, but basic logic says if the linux kernel contains rust code, then a linux kernel dev will either need to learn rust or avoid doing things that require changes to those parts of the code.

I don’t know how you can wave this away as “technical nonsense”.

As you appear to be aware per the prefix to your question, this is the nature of all subscription software... what alternative would you choose if you were the author? Requiring the personal use edition to phone home once a month probably increases the potential sale price of the business by at least one order of magnitude.

It would be more interesting to know the plans for tracking down commercial users abusing the personal license, maybe Oracle VirtualBox Extension Pack reverse IP address lookup style. The ins and outs of software license enforcement doesn't play well on HN, though I'm guessing there are few complaints about OrbStack requiring a subscription because they offer a free personal use license and the entry level commercial use license is so cheap vs. the value provided.

It's actually exciting to see a dev tool where the developers have a sustainable business model, but this usually means there will be plenty of offers to cash out.
You can use the MCCs of each tx, then generating a zk-proof that shows none of the MCCs in your account match restricted categories.

What do you mean by "better"? There are several aspects to consider.

Indeed the advantage of your photovoltaic solution is versatility in the face of clouds and lower mechanical costs.

But the drawback is the larger panel area, higher panel cost and probably shorter panel lifetime.

Photovoltaic efficiency is about 20%, while even low-cost mirrors reflect 90% of the energy.

It really depends on the specific application and the answer does not seem so obvious to me.

Scratched my own itch and built something
Nothing super crazy -- a very simple tool to find Global Entry Appointments.

A couple months ago, I was struggling to find Global Entry Appointments in my area. Being a developer I naturally opened up the Network Tab to see how the Scheduler on the website retrieved availabilities and to my surprise it was an open endpoint. I built a script around it to notify me of availabilities as they opened up. I was like yo why not just build this as a service and see if people find it useful

Upon doing research I was quick to learn what I was doing nothing new but had been done others as well -- but my main goal wasn't to make money. It was to scratch my itch and just build a product around it. Even if I could make a few bucks, I would have been proud of myself and that what I wanted to validate.

I spent hours dissecting the API, built my own API Docs around the endpoints, hosted it on Notion so I can refer to them and eventually launched Snapslot. Through this process, I got very familiar with:
- Next.js App Router
- MongoDB / Mongoose
- Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI

I've gotten a few online customers from complete random strangers which is a rewarding feeling and now I think I've caught the indiehacking / project bug. Thinking of writing a full featured blog in the future on my experience to cover all technical and marketing efforts.

My Lessons Learned:
- Just ship it. Who cares what happens. Through this I learned that the lessons you learn will just compound on your experience and you'll be able to ship faster. You'll also run into other problems and if the initial idea doesn't work out, you can go back to your those problems you solved and maybe productize that.
> Yaak will add a plugin system to its closed-core model, achieving the benefits of open source without the burden.

In what world does having a plugin system even come close to achieving the benefits of open source?

> This means it's often quicker for the maintainer to just implement the feature themselves.

This is an argument to not take external PRs, but that doesn't require being closed source. For example, SQLite.

> Transparency doesn't just mean code, however. There are many ways for closed-source projects to be transparent as well.

But none of them are even close to as good. That's like saying you shouldn't ever wash your hands because there are many other ways to stop the spread of disease.

> It's possible for users to audit the code of an open-source project and disclose any issues. The key word here is "possible." I don't actually remember this happening

But "impossible" is strictly worse than "possible but hasn't yet happened to my knowledge".

> Imagine working at a company that hired anyone who applied. It would quickly fill with people bringing irrelevant experience and misaligned incentives. This is the unfortunate reality of open source

But that's not what open source is. That would only be if you had a bot that accepted every PR with no review.

> It's hard to deal with unappreciative or rude feedback
It's hard to manage long back-and-forth feedback cycles
It's hard to say no to most things once the project has matured
It's hard when a good contributor leaves
It's hard to feel good about 1000+ open issues
It's hard that it never stops.

But all of those things are also true of closed source software.

there used to be a standard size, but as i understand it, the price pressure the article is about has induced some makers to introduce larger-sized panels. somewhat surprisingly, lower-efficiency panels (such as polycrystalline types) don't cost much less per square meter, and so they seem to be gradually disappearing from the market

I am building in the mortgage origination space and have these sorts of enhancements on the drawing board... you hit the nail on the head that the bottleneck will be in QC and legal review, as 3rd-parties (especially regulators) may want to manually see the data you used to reach the conclusions you did. Although I'm still digging. You'd be interested in what we're creating btw, it's a crypto-based mechanism that enables instant digital mortgage origination, we should chat!
A large portion of this consistency is not making executive decisions about parsing ambiguities. The difference between "the language is implicitly defined by what the parser does" and "the grammar for the language has been refined one failed test at a time" is large and practically important.

> For Classen, these judicial duels help illustrate complex medieval gender structures that, in many ways, echo modern ones. Despite centuries separating us from the Middle Ages’s judicial duels, our modern legal system still echoes the past. Rape cases continue to be notoriously difficult to prosecute and the onus of proof still too often falls on victims of sexual violence

I agree that cases of sexual abuse in general tend to be very difficult to prosecute because they typically happen in private.

However, what isn't special is the notion that innocence must be assumed until guilt is proven. That is one of the pillars of any reasonable justice system, and it applies regardless of the alleged crime.
