88913527 1 hour ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: Toxic gases connected to Ohio train derailment cause concern > I think we as a society need to come to the realization that growth demands can't always be met by piling more costs and work on people. Much of that rock has been squeezed dry, we need to start looking and managing expectations based on growth from new innovative process changes, technology, or shifts in cultural expectations as far as growth goes, at least that's my opinion for whatever it's worth. Not that I disagree with you, but me and many others are planning our retirements accounts around assumptions of 8-9% growth. Stock market returns and real economic productivity aren't the same thing, but I think it would be deeply challenging for us to change course. Low growth creates a lot of new issues which are debatably worse than the axles-on-fire problem, but this is a conterfactual argument. reply

elif 15 minutes ago [–] As someone who has only worked in "right to work" states, it always strikes me as absurd that people seek "job security" through a 3rd party agency rather than by individual performance and developing personal relationships. Honestly a big part of why I quit my last job was too many unproductive/unreliable coworkers. Am I just Stockholm Syndromed? reply

sashank_1509 1 hour ago | prev | next [–] The obligatory LGBTQ nonsense, “Rust has more trans and queer coders” is so tiring. Is there some 4chan-esque programming language that actually discourages queer people from using their language? In fact, is there any programming language forum that’s not friendly to “n00bs”. My guess is every language is friendly to “n00bs” in the forums and this doesn’t make Rust any more special than other languages (Note this has nothing to do with whether the language is actually easy to pick up, only whether people on forums are friendly to beginners) reply

established pl forums inevitably have a bunch of experts who’ve thoroughly internalized all the random language jargon and want to argue endlessly about pretty obscure stuff, often with an eye towards influencing the future of the language. that’s naturally balanced out by newbies showing up and asking embarrassingly simple questions (that are often really revealing). the experts can easily answer the newbie questions but it takes real work to get them to just do that instead of making biting posts about how that specific question was most recently answered on july 18th 2021. when the language goes into decline and the newbies stop showing up then the experts take over and really grovel in being utterly impenetrable but scala specifically was always full of jerks

kragen 3 minutes ago | next [–] naloxone was patented in 01961 and known to prevent death from opiate overdose by 01971 how many people have been killed in the usa by its prescription-only status over the last 52 years for that matter, how many opiate overdose deaths would be avoided if you could buy pure, safe heroin of known concentration over the counter instead of depending on organized crime not to put too much fentanyl in it reply padding years with a 0 has to be one of the most bizarre but completely HN behaviors I've see

Edit: currently this question is at -3, as though it’s obvious to everyone the difference between valuable writing and not valuable writing. To me it’s a worthwhile question, particularly because the more precisely we answer it the more precisely ChatGPT will become able to produce valuable writing a couple releases from now.

jfoutz 14 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] Let's set aside that it's Meta for a moment. Any company with multiple rounds of layoffs is unhealthy. Think Chrysler in the 70's pre Iacocca. They face troubles that leadership is incapable of handling. Companies like that get sold and broken out for parts. Or, some have major shakeups with leadership and come back as something else. Meta, of course, is different. Leadership made a few mistakes, sure, but they're more than ready to cope with changes to social media in the face of tools like ChatGPT available to everyone. Facebook and Instagram will continue to provide excellent paths for advertisers to target consumers. And you can be sure they're innovating behind the scenes. Surely we'll see powerful new products and innovations in the coming months and years. reply
