It's not semantics! This is the refuge of everyone who says something is what it's not (or isn't what it is). "Well sure, yeah, I guess if you use words to mean the things that those words mean, then you have a point!"

You can just say that the public subsidy for insurance distorted the market in problematic ways. I totally agree with that. I don't understand why you got attached to saying that it isn't a subsidy.

But no, it's not as simple as "change the incentives so fewer people move to the very hazardous parts". This already is, and is only going to become more so, an existential problem for insurers, throughout very large swaths of the west.

The recent LA fires weren't in any particularly hazardous place. The hazard levels are higher than people can bear in more places than policymakers can bear to let private insurance markets sort it out. It's a real and giant problem. Just trying to hand wave it away with "foolish policymakers just didn't do the obvious thing" is convenient, but unhelpful.
That phrase is darker and, alas, more apt than commonly understood:

Low earth orbit is in space ('outer space'), so unless they have been to other parts of space not sure it's more correct - perhaps more specific, but I think the more general correct claim wins out.

If they'd previously been up in sounding rockets, or high altitude aircraft, or like a Blue Origin sub-orbital hop we would likely have an interesting discussion here - I will take anything that has surpassed the McDowell line as being 'in space' but think making orbit is more impressive.

Not really. What cats did they return to bags? The cats/cars are still out there, prowling around. The car limited urban centres are still surrounded by suburban areas. I used to live in Copenhagen and we were the only people in our little suburb without a car. We had the most cats though.

What you're describing is just dealing with the cats being around. Personal motorised transport isn't going away because there are areas where it looks different (electric bikes, for example). And I think that's the point - we have LLMs now, they're not going away, so we have to live with them one way or another.
> Here's what I'd want from accounting software; a credible exit strategy that if you go bankrupt or decide that you need to tweak your pricing too much, I can take my data and run it on my own infrastructure.

This is so, so critical, that I hope the founders consider it their number one priority. When you look at tools like Figma or Linear, they are often brought into a company by an individual designer or product manager for use by one small team - sometimes as an official pilot, sometimes not. It then has the option to grow organically within the company before the company switches over to it whole hog.

Accounting software obviously doesn't have that luxury. Companies absolutely need to know it will be around for years, as once the decision is made it's incredibly difficult to back out of. OP talks about this being their third pivot - my guess is that some of their original early adopters of their previous products were left a bit high and dry when they pivoted. Not at all blaming the founders for this - that's the nature of business, but also highlights why many small companies are reticent to go with an untested accounting product

I actually think the number one feature the founders should build is export to QuickBooks. For better or worse, that is the standard for small business accounting, and knowing there is a data export to QuickBooks would go a long way to assuaging a lot of potential customers' fears. It's a tactic Microsoft took in the 80s when they introduced Excel. At the time Lotus 123 was the spreadsheet standard, and they made sure Excel files could be exported to Lotus 123 so customers were less concerned about creating spreadsheets that other employees couldn't read.
I don't know about recently, but people were asking about them from the first announcement in 2009; and got the answer that they were "under consideration"

To be fair, it's a significant advantage of go that they have been strict about keeping it's feature set small.

> Somehow the prices are still high enough that it's cheaper to buy a cheap used car and drive it instead.

Cars benefit from enormous subsidies that are typically even greater than for public transit.

This obviously true for the monetary value of building all the roads and highways a city has, but it's even more true in terms of land usage. Cars in US cities tend to be allotted far, far more land than space reserved for walking, biking, or public transit. Since land use is mostly zero-sum, this is an extraordinary amount of investment that cars receive as a mode.

And of course, it's not just the roads. Mandatory parking minimums in zoning codes in most cities require businesses to allocate huge amounts of space for free car parking. This is a large de facto subsidy that also inhibits every other mode.

OpenAI doesn’t have the pre-existing business, relationships, domain knowledge, etc to just throw AGI at every possible use case. They will sell AGI for some fraction of what an equivalent human behind a computer screen would cost.

“AGI” is also an under-specified term. It will start (maybe is already there) equivalent to, say, a human in an overseas call center, but over time improve to the equivalent of a Fortune 500 CEO or Nobel prize winner.

“ASI”, on the other hand, will just recreate entire businesses from scratch.

Some of these results could be because the 1st dose of the vaccine doesn't provide 100% protection, so the increased incidence of illnesses could be a side-effect of COVID infections, not the vaccine itself. Different vaccines provide different amounts of protection against different strains, and we know that the strains have varying effects including some of the observed illnesses.

At least it's still Latin. In places like Korea, the roads are often only in transliterated Latin alphabet, so if you read the local language (and know places in that language) you'd need to transliterate it back to know what it's saying.

No it wasn't. It's based on visible logic, as everybody knows this, well at least everybody within the 'space domain.' People outside of the 'space domain' don't realize how absurdly dysfunctional things like the SLS or Artemis are, and generally have a completely erroneous impression of NASA.

If you want to see this in action search for pretty much any article on SLS or Artemis by him. The one I offered with the former NASA administrator was to clarify to people who might want to claim he was just speculating or whatever. NASA is the posterboy for making bad decisions under political pressure, and not just in contemporary times...

If you go back up the thread, you will notice that I originally (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43407532) brought up the point that restricting who Americans can vote for is a bit silly, and that includes banning them from voting for foreigners. If the voters want a foreigner, they should get a foreigner. (As long as the foreigner is willing.)

I have no issues with foreigners. I think voters should be free to vote for any willing candidate, and people should also be free to move and work wherever they feel like, as long as they find a willing landlord (or house seller) and as long as they find a willing employer. I myself am a foreigner in my adopted home.

Now to your question:

In this subthread we were looking at the question of any actual examples of foreign born leaders causing trouble for their host country.

In the interest of intellectual honest, I have to admit that a US-style banning foreign born leaders might have conceivable stymied Hitler's rise to power in Germany.

Especially because by the time Hitler entered government in the Weimar Republic, the economy had already started to recover, unemployment was going down. So any roadblocks and delays might have conceivably gotten us over the limited time window where inviting the extremist to share power was even seen as a good idea to try.

Now obviously I could argue against this point; or argue that Hitler would have just put a local-born puppet to be his front man in government, etc.

But that's a more nuanced and fragile argument than the one I would have liked to make: that the US-style ban on foreign leaders is silly and never ever hindered any would-be bad guy.

Is that explicit enough for you?

To me the foundation of those rules - not eating pork, non-scaled fish, shrimp, etc - lies in the practical aspect of what happens with food in warm climate without refrigeration.

Lean meat, scaled fish more probably dry than rot. Whereis fat meat, non scaled fish like sturgeon, shrimp, etc. will sooner rot than dry. Getting for example regular fish dry salted is easy, where is attempting to get sturgeon dry salted you'd more probably end up with rotten dangerous to eat fish. The similar about mixing dairy and meat - dairy in warm climate is easily gets populated by bacteria which gets nasty if added with meat.

Some of what Trump cut is problematic - like research relating to climate or certain medical research. But other research like those relating to DEI or gender were ideological and wasteful. Europe may end up attracting a lot of researchers who were performing the more activist research caught up in these political battles. If so, I doubt it’ll make much difference in terms of useful research produced in the US versus Europe.

I do wonder how they’ll fund this though. European countries aren’t exactly wealthy enough (nor is the US) to spend money on enormous new research programs. How will they decide how much funding to redirect away from other government agencies to this? How will they decide which researchers and which areas to fund and which to reject?

>so why can those chemicals only come from things that were living?

Because food is a way to consume order. In Schrödinger's terms, the food chain is "life feeding on negative entropy". As you go up the food chain more and more complex organisms need to consume more low entropy things to maintain their more and more sophisticated internal structure. There's more energy in the matter of a rock than you'll ever need, but you can't gnaw on the thing to sustain yourself.

That said "life" doesn't necessarily mean "sentient animal". You can certainly expend energy to create artificial food sources but they'll always be lifelike, that is ordered for the reason Schrödinger lays out.
IMO the best file format for this set of requirements is SQLite. It's the world's most widely deployed database engine, the file format is simple and the spec is public domain.

TN self sponsorship is not allowed. However, it's not immediately clear to me that she would meet the standard of self-sponsorship as laid out in the law:

>> A professional will be deemed to be self-employed if he or she will be rendering services to a corporation or entity of which the professional is the sole or controlling shareholder or owner. [0]

I did quite a bit of digging to see if I could find corporate entity filings that might indicate if she is a sole or controlling shareholder. My initial findings suggest that she's not, but with low confidence.

Her product's site lists a mailing address in Illinois. I noticed the first line was "My Crew Doses"[1] (side note: lol - I guess this is a pun and a double entendre for "microdoses" but also "my friends dose"). I checked the Illinois register of corporations for that entity but came up short. I noticed the email listed on the contact page was "jeremy@enjoyholywater" and searched for 'Jeremy Holy Water' and came up with this guy [2] who lists himself as "Chief Scientific Officer" and a Co-founder of Holy! Water. I noticed he's in Colorado and checked the Colorado corporate register and bingo, came up with this: The corporate entity for My Crew Doses[3]. Not much info there but it lists the home registration of the entity as Wyoming. Going to the Wyoming register, we find the listing: [4]. That lists "Brian Mccaslin" as the sole corporate officer (President) with an @enjoyholywater.com email address. Cross-referencing his LinkedIn, it seems to be this guy: [5]. He also seems to go by BJ.

Now, assuming that this is the corporate entity for Holy! Water, I find it highly doubtful that the subject of the article is a controlling shareholder. We don't know what the ownership breakdown is but the fact that she isn't even listed as a corporate officer or a director is to me a strong indication that she isn't a majority shareholder. My hunch is that she in fact would be eligible (or at least not disqualified under this rule) for a TN visa.

In your view, the government should’ve not funded the research that resulted in, say, the internet, because who could’ve known it would be valuable before it was done? Is that right?

Then there’s this weirdly pervasive (on the political right) attack on researchers that supposes they’re all just out for funding, damn the actual science. Is that a reflection of your values, projected on people you don’t know? Is it in actual, widespread evidence? Are you just begging the question for fun?

These are basically nonsensical objections that, I’m guessing, have no basis in reality as no evidence is given. There are a whole lot of listed studies available - it seems like it would be easy to find examples of things that shouldn’t be funded.
