That's quite naive consequentialism.

The so called enshittification of the internet.

Fair enough but it's not as uncommon as you might think and a lot of people are fine with it as long as consent is required, a bit like open banking. There are quite a few apps in the UK that leverage exactly that, here's one example: https://www.patientaccess.com/

Hi everyone,

This open letter, addressed to European political leaders, builds upon an earlier article, ["European Accelerationism"](https://www.santiago-martins.com/european-accelerationism-eu...), which garnered positive feedback from both entrepreneurial and political stakeholders, and was notably mentioned in FT Alphaville and Marginal Revolution. Additionally, this petition aligns with the spirit of blog-driven policy making, which has seen recent successes, as detailed in an article from The Economist: [How to Change the Policy of the British Government](https://www.economist.com/britain/2023/11/30/how-to-change-t...).

Given the recent European elections, these proposals are particularly pertinent as they offer a timely opportunity to shape policy agendas that can drive significant and meaningful progress across the continent. These proposals are selected based on their robust evidence base, their capacity to garner cross-ideological support, their foundation on successful precedents, and the existing political momentum behind them.

Fascinating article.

Second, we reveal the “Where’s Daddy?” system, which tracked these targets and signaled to the army when they entered their family homes.

This sounds immoral at first, but if proportionality is taken into consideration, the long term effects of this might be positive, ie fewer deaths long term due to the elimination of Hamas staff. The devil is in the details however, as there is clearly a point beyond which this becomes unacceptable. Sadly collective punishment is unavoidable in war, and one could argue that between future Israeli victims and current Palestinian ones, the IDF has a moral obligation to choose the latter.

Fourth, we explain how the army loosened the permitted number of civilians who could be killed during the bombing of a target.

This article below states the civilian to militant death ratio in Gaza is 1:1, and for comparison the usual figure in modern war is 9:1, such as during the Battle of Mosul against ISIS. They may still be within the realm of moral action here, but the fog of war makes it very difficult to assess.

I’m unsure why the UN + Arab Nations don’t take control of the situation, get rid of Hamas, provide peacekeeping, integrate Palestine into Israel, and enforce property rights. All this bloodshed is revolting.

Nice, I run Kamal on Hetzner with Cloudflare.

Thanks for this!

Thank you for suggesting DuckDB. Looks brilliant!

I thought laying people off was basically impossible in Germany.

There are big tech companies in the UK and they've done layoffs just like in the US. Plenty of companies still hiring though and overall tech workforce is much higher than pre-pandemic.

Is there any actual data on this? I'm yet to see executives back up these requests with evidence of their claims. It's a thinly veiled way of driving "unregretted attrition" without having to announce layoffs.

The great thing about free markets however is that companies that offer remote working have a great competitive advantage by virtue of that alone.

Orion was extremely buggy for me which is a shame, I was looking forward to the extensions and being able to use touchID.

I use Waterfox on Mac and it is great. Safari is slow in comparison and the only thing that leads me to use it is integration with TouchID.

Weirdly I was just looking for this data today, thanks.

I’m more surprised there are actually people on Mastodon

I think this is a promising avenue: https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/06/22/1004218/how-gree...

Hey HN, thought I'd share my newsletter on here in case someone else enjoys it. It's pretty much what the title says, and themes range from economics to science, to interesting visualisations or simply websites I stumble upon.

It's currently at 120 subscribers and in the latest issue I shared a study showing an unexpected overlap in the demographics of the BLM and anti-lockdown protest participants in the USA, the U-shaped relationship between income and fertility rate, and a mapping I did of per capita income vs average working hours per year in select countries.

https://interessant3.substack.com

I post three things I find interesting, once a week. Very simple and to the point.

I’m at just a tad over 100 subscribers at time of writing. In the latest issue I shared some research on the “Pink Tax”, a blog sharing MacOS command line tools, and a Twitter thread demistifying a lot of the debate around water quality in the U.K.

For more long form content you can find me on medium: https://medium.com/@duartem where my writing has had over 25,000 reads over the years.

Alternatively I also have a (Jekyll) website at https://www.Santiago-Martins.com

Looks great. I really hope a Firefox plugin becomes available soon!

Not sure what their “moat” is..

Is there a similar endeavour for Ruby?

The link is below, not sure what HN does with the original submission links but they appear to change.

The BBC just had their label corrected..

I have an electric Brompton. If they were lighter they’d be a dream. At the moment they’re very limiting.

Brompton lets you try before you buy.

Yeah and these can be bought on eBay already.
