I tried decrypting my password on the search page using a malicious search payload, but it didn't work. Somehow, the cookies contain hidden characters on the search page causing the getCookie method to fail. The getCookie method tries

OK, so use your example. The Empire State Building was 2/3 the price, took 1/3 the time, and hilariously, from Wikipedia: "The magazine Time found out in August 2013 that the Bank of America Tower used twice as much energy ov

Perhaps I should have given a different example, but I don't think that your objection affects the substance of what I wrote. Sure, the projects are totally different. Still, an extremely advanced building at the time cost a tiny fract

I'm saying that even if the measure they use is imperfect, I wouldn't be surprised if "real productivity", however you define it, is also down.

by three14 10y ago
Naively, I'd say that there really is a lot of missing productivity. The Empire State Building took a little over a year to build, while the Freedom Tower took 8, if I'm reading Wikipedia correctly. On the one hand, the safety pre

Sound and well-accepted are very different things - in the area of parenting, appealing to the authority of experts is really asking to be wrong. That said, I do have a bunch of kids, and in my personal limited experience, the particular ad

One might argue that giving "no food or drink" is simply a crueler version of assisted suicide. With a lot of these stories, I get the impression that the goal is to reduce the medical professionals' suffering, which may or m

The article didn't say that it's safe at all - just that the measurement of THC in the blood doesn't tell you if someone is impaired. If someone knows they are high, they're probably at much more risk than the people w

They asked nicely. And they don't seem to be able to tell if they've fixed it, so they really have no choice but to beg.

Certification is a red herring; assembly line workers have skills that I lack. I'm really only interested in jobs of that could be filled by the people who used to work in the Rust Belt, whatever you actually want to call that type of

None of this really answers the question. Of course technology eliminates jobs. This has been happening since before Ford was founded and before all those automotive jobs were originally created . See https://en.wikipedia.org&

Pressure, yes, but I want numbers - what percentage of jobs have disappeared over, say, the past 20 years, and could increased demand realistically replace those jobs in other sectors? You can't simply say "manual labor is over, b

This is exactly the taboo I'm talking about. Police, health care, mining, teaching, and surprisingly many others aren't going overseas right now. A lot of jobs are disappearing, and a lot aren't. Why assume that e.g. the Am

One taboo on HN is pointing out that even though software is a huge lever, there's no sign of the end of raw human labor. In every industry you can point to jobs being lost to automation, yet you still need many, many people in healt

There's a difference - software also has unplanned obsolescence. For instance, I've been working on a non-profit website that has a fair amount of QuickTime video from way back when that was a good choice. If you don't do som

Is there still any reasonable way to upgrade from XP? I intended to upgrade to Windows 8 a few years ago on an ancient machine, only to find that Microsoft had eliminated the upgrade, and now you seem to need to buy a new copy of Windows fo

They're arguing that the Xen developers shouldn't code in a way that makes it so hard to spot, not that they should have spotted it as is.

This is one of those occasions where it's worth checking the poster's profile. Danielle Fong is "cofounder, chief scientist, lightsailenergy.com" and probably does know a lot of people in SV working on energy tech.

I didn't see the documentary, but the book does build a single case, but it's mostly saying "please consider the many, many complex effects of the environment" rather than "don't consider other things."

Do you have any specific criticisms in mind? That abstract implies that the paper doesn't actually argue with anything in GGS itself. Rather, "environmental determinism" sounds like it's a dirty word in their niche of academia, and they n

The top of Upper Manhattan to Brooklyn can be an hour and a half by public transit vs. 45 minutes by car. Queens to Brooklyn can be worse. New York City has transit that is good enough, meaning you don't have to have a car, but it's still

Traditional Jewish sources would translate that as 25% . It does say one-fifth, but it's a fifth in the sense that you pay 125%, and 25% is one fifth of what you pay. There have been shifts in a lot of mathematical concepts over time and

And like many philosophies, it sounds good until you get to the details. E.g: A) Why is "threat of force" an axiom? What's wrong with force? You just don't like to be forced? I don't like having to work for a living. Maybe I can center

So how do you know DHH doesn't meet that threshold? (I don't think it's clear either way, but still "most common young nerd mistakes" is pretty dismissive.)
