All of the wealth has been taxed before, often multiple times. Adding another layer sure seems like overkill.

Here's another thought: why not charge less? If he's giving away all of this money, the firm is definitely profitable. Charging less for job ads means more job ads. Making it easier to advertise can mean more employed people. (Obv

Not about quotas? It's pretty well-known that the DEI committees don't review the statements blindly and somehow manage to choose people with the skin color they want. For instance, in the past Berkeley's DEI committee let on

It was rather disappointing to listen to Jodi Kantor of the New York Times come up with reasons why, well, it's different this time.

I agree that there are issues, but won't kids find other places to congregate? Maybe in educational sites?

I think the victims were helped quite a bit by the runup in crypto assets. So even though some was lost, the run up in what was left ended up being quite a bit.

And if management decides we don't need those 6 hours of human work, will everyone still be complaining?

Could this headline be rewritten, "Employees of X ask Government to Stop Competition?"

Alt=old in German, but Alta=high in Spanish. And vista is pretty much a Spanish word. A high observation point is a pretty good metaphor for a search engine.

I think the point is that they weren't "forgotten" but deliberately repackaged. And this action is going on today. Scroll down to the dead posts. There's one that gives a very factual account of how some suffragettes joi

Science is hard. It was easier when Newton was dealing with bigger things like apples. Now just a tiny bit of contamination is enough to skew things.

You're right that some parts of life on earth are cheaper. There are plenty of counties, but are they near the net backbone? Do they have power to spare? And remember that the semi trucks still have bottles of explosives that may not b

The most interesting argument I've heard is that in space there are no NIMBYs to protest or local (or state) politicians to extract donations. Yes, there aren't many slots for geostationary orbits, but in most other cases there&#x

I don't know what happened here, but if someone told me that a manager fired all of the dev team and replaced them with cheaper overseas replacements, I wouldn't be surprised.

The population is very hard to count, believe it or not. In many places, the birth rate is well under replacement and in the others it's dropping quickly. Furthermore there's widespread fraud and deliberate miscounting which also

I remember the MIT press release. I wonder if they've found any commercial success.

Go read the story that Richard Feynman tells of betting an abacus user. He used his knowledge of some strange numbers. It's in _Surely You Must Be Joking_. I suspect his facility with numbers and his knowledge of tables like this reall

Uh, this is the authors' choice. They don't have to cut any deal with the publishers. If they want to hold out for some big (or even small) payout, they have every right to do so. But they don't. Why? Because it's the be

Now that RAM is getting more expensive, I hope the OS builders will rethink how they use so much memory. An OS that's lighter weight lets us save money on RAM.

This is actually good news for society as a whole. There are way too many people who spend time in grad school only to discover that society doesn't have a job for them. Yes, it's not nice for the people who don't get in, but

I know some kids who had a really bad time in school because some teachers treated them badly. Yes, it's not as bad as what the cops can do, but it was still pretty life altering.

Why do we arch the panels over the water? I've heard some say they need to send boats down the canal for maintenance. Okay. But why not just have lower panels that can be lifted in case of trouble? They're less likely to get blown

Nationalization often happens when growth ends. The Pennsylvania Railroad was private as long as the profits were rolling in. But once growth ended (because of cars and planes and buses and ....) the company went bankrupt. Then we ended up

Does asking people on HN count as "research"? It does in my book. It's not perfect, but then nothing is.

Disaster? I remember when they would print up big books with everyone's address and telephone number. Then they would distribute these to everyone. While this wasn't exactly the same as the voting list, it was usually pretty close

I'm not sure how this is any different from before. Each person gets one vote. And if the district has a different number, that doesn't mean the voter is cut out of the races. The headline doesn't make sense to me at all.

What about auto tune? I know it's probably not officially AI, but it has the same effect of creating something that's not real.
