HN represents a wellspring of deeper reading than is generally afforded by the current entertainment cruft portals of the web - reddit, FB, insta, USA today, financial times, etc etc down to the SEO hellholes of recipe sites, youtube product placement; you get the idea. Let's appreciate HN for the quality of reading material and its curb on our drift to the rest of the 'popular' web. And I don't think I'm alone in always keeping an eye out for the next serious hub of real reading material! llol matti fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Dec 18, 2021 |

mojomark 58 minutes ago | undown | root | parent | prev | next [–] Fully concur. I recieved stock appreciation rights (SARs) as a bonus at one company for a few years. CEO drove company into the ground that effectively wiped out all of these SARs. I was bitter at the CEO for making stupid decisions, but not at the fact that my bonus was in the form of SARs. If I'd have stuck to my guns more, the company would have probably succeeded and the SARs could have had significant value. Bottom line, with stock payment, you have a say in their ultimate value. Do good work, company value invreases, you enrich yourself.

zo1 1 minute ago | root | parent | prev | next [–] Am I the only one that sees the beauty and simplicity of a world that allows drug research companies to pay giant piles of money to people for them to agree to be test subjects for new treatments? The equalizing effect this could potentially have over wealth inequality across generations is arguably staggering. Some days it feels like our nobility and pride and respect for life are just ideals we claim on paper but end up just being huge shackles that keep us from preventing suffering in the now. We allow huge amounts of actual suffering and denigration of life to happen right under our noses.

vikingerik 1 hour ago | root | parent | next [–] If you reward something, you get more of it. This creates a black market of arranging kidnappings for the tax break. The original topic about stolen property is the patch for the same kind of loophole. Without this rule, you could arrange to have something of value stolen in order to avoid a taxable transaction. Imagine your employer giving a bonus by leaving an envelope of cash conspicuously unguarded.

i just want to post this peak-hn saga iPhone camera app replaces person’s head with a leaf in photo (twitter.com/mitchcohen) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29739235 hundreds of comments arguing/incorrecting each other about the details of camera phone image sensors and AI or whatever and then: Update: iPhone Camera app did not replace man's head with a leaf (twitter.com/mitchcohen) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29750660 there was just a leaf in the foreground that the photographer didn't notice

they thought that a leaf was moved in from elsewhere in the image (or from a different image) by an ai that somehow thought it was a better picture of her face. the blur around the leaf (actually because the background/face is out of focus) kindof suggests that. except that’s implausible even by the lax standards of ai, because there’s almost no test data that an algorithm like that wouldn’t do something embarrassing to. even the most optimistic researcher would be like, yeah, this is garbage
