The Haifa daycare study can’t be used to extrapolate much. They fined parents (IIRC) ~$3 per late pickup. Rerun the study with a $300 fine and let’s see how it pans out. It’s an interesting finding, but that then people take it to mean that

Very hard for me to believe Musk didn’t overpay for Twitter. So whatever he saw, I don’t think was there. Hard to know completely for sure given it is private. But I strongly suspect that money definitely would be making him more in passive

A paper being peer reviewed is a good sign, but I feel like the signal is usually over interpreted. Peer reviewed does not mean the findings of the paper are established fact or scientific consensus. It does not mean that the findings have

Bold of you to assume Democrats are going to be allowed to govern again.

Not sure Iran was doing that, but for sure Maduro wasn’t. Not sure it affects the outcome.

I don’t know if it is “unstoppable” or a “force,” but nepotism is a natural behavior, selected for in humans by kin selection. Likewise, I think public choice theory would probably argue that corruption is a predictable outcome in politics

So I guess the lesson is that ideas can turn into successful, profitable businesses even if there are a lot of legitimate criticisms of those ideas? Or maybe it is that HN tends to correctly point out flaws in ideas, but maybe doesn’t also

A government bailout of OpenAI would be a regressive redistribution of wealth to some of the least needy people in all of society, which is a horrendously poor use of government funds. But that has no bearing on the fact that calling high

I’m sympathetic, but I think this idea seems pretty clearly a political non-starter. “Good news voters! You now have to pay for your email, search engines, and social media accounts.” Privacy and healthy digital habits are issues dear to my

Except the first one, every job I’ve ever had, I’ve found while holding another job. No one has ever commented about it. And from the other side of the table, it also seems fine to me if a candidate has a job. I think if you regularly chang

GLP-1s are miracle drugs that (to my mind) seem one of the great accomplishments of medicine along side things like vaccines and antibiotics. They are a cure for all manner of metabolic conditions. How are they a “gamble?” For patients, the

Would better zoning have a bigger impact? Of course. But it would definitely make an impact. If you are driving a Honda fit, there is no distance at which you can’t see my kids. In a ford f-150, the driver probably needs to be at least a do

Ok by why does the code officer enforce the zoning code in residential zones but not the commercial ones? It’s not like anyone doing their job in good faith could confuse a business patron and someone camping out in a parking lot. Seems lik

Where do you live? Where I live, the overnight occupancy limit for commercial zoning is 0 people, so (at least here) your comment makes no sense. I think commercial zoning that allows anyone to live on the property is basically rare. So if

I think you’re just confused. There is no place in the world that is zoned for homeless encampments. Zoning is stuff like residential, commercial, industrial, mixed use, and so on. If you are talking about homeless encampments, it’s not a z

It’s the same man. 1) the business owner has to operate a business behind the camp 2) the business owner tanks the value of their own property 3) what code? The building code? If we can apply a “code” to a home, then we can apply it to a bu

What if a neighbor allowed homeless to camp in front of their house? Seems like the issue is the store owner (i.e. the neighbor), not the fact that it is a store. When I lived in Houston I used to jog past a house where the front yard was a

I mean define "work." Restaurants are a famously good way to light money on fire. IIRC something like half of restaurants go bust within the first five years. So I don't think anyone is going to be celebrating if the message

I don’t know much about Matrix. Maybe in this case the key is money. But having worked at various startups and enterprises, it is very common for lots of money and resources to thrown at projects and for little or no progress to be made. Mo

I’m fine to share a car. I’m less keen on dying in one. Riding in a car is easily the most dangerous thing I do in my daily life and my subjective impression of how well uber/lyft/taxi drivers drive is not great.

I mean if people had to pay $9.99 per application that would drastically reduce spam applications. So the mail proposal still has a good effect here.

Well, presumably your business charges something to mail out job applications to companies? Like an application fee, that charge incurs a cost to applicant which will do something (presumably reduce applicant volume).
