I don't necessarily agree with the comment to which you are replying however one concrete step is the newsfeed algorithm. As someone mentioned, Facebook becomes a bubble; I have a few hundred 'friends' of widely different politics and interests, yet my feed is populated with an echo chamber of my own inadvertent creation. I like stories I find interesting and agree with however that then results of me seeing more of the same so my feed now consists of probably a maximum of ten people's content, so the "inventory" of shareable content from my feed gets more and more focused to the point where there is no longer much diversity in my feed and thus the things I share.

For example: I "like" Mises posts, I like my "real" friends's music posts and I like the occasional post from The Paris Review.

However I follow a ton of people from interior design and architecture but I rarely see posts from those people/subjects. So my feed looks like a very narrow focus on Austrian economics and electronic music.

My point: the content isn't the problem with Facebook, the problem is the feed algorithm that decides the content I see. I would prefer no algorithm at all: just show me everything my 'friends' are posting. If I get tired of someone, I unfollow them. Facebook has made a conscious decision to behave as a de facto curator of content. I get it, it's my own fault for "liking" things. But I am a relatively sophisticated user -- I am aware of the echo chamber I create; but for hundreds of millions of users the newsfeed is their 'news' and it isn't transparent how their past likes are creating this environment.
"If people think they are atheistic, it means is they are unconscious of their gods.". No it doesn't. Atheists merely reject the various vacuous and frankly ridiculous concepts of 'God' put about by religious authorities (folk whose word we are supposed to take on trust) simply because the evidence for these abstractions amounts to no more than that for fairy stories. Atheists are not stupid people unaware that they are subject to 'unconscious imperatives'.
> I have just received bad advice before from a psychologist

Exactly. It doesn't take much Zen magic to figure out when someone is useless to you. (OK, maybe sometimes it does, but nevertheless it doesn't.)

Plus it's doubly off-putting when they are being useless while feeling good about themselves because they think they are helping. I have a gut feeling that some psychologists are driven by their own insecurity about being useful.
Looking at the differences of emoji "styles" across different platforms / systems, I wonder how many misunderstandings happen every day because of this.

It's clear that a lot of times, people (me included), rely on very tiny details of an emoji to express our emotions accurately - this is lost by a huge margin once you have different interpretations of the same emoji. Heck, even when Apple changed the look & feel of the emoji on iOS >=10, I had a hard time using some of them, because they would not express precisely the same emotion / meaning that they used to do.

we practise time in, instead of time out when you leave the child by themselves and they don't have the maturity to realise what they have done wrong, we remove them from the situation and sit with them and explain what the issue was after they have calmed down - as talking to them mid-tantrum will not have any effect as they won't be able to process anything we say

What's more likely--that you understand children better than people who spend their entire lives working on that, or that you have misunderstood the advice the article gave?

The point of the article is not that offering a binary choice is a panacea. The point is that you have to model the behavior you want, and reinforce it with praise. Just saying "no cookie" does not give the kid a positive action they can take. Offering a choice of what they can have gives them something to do. And the few times they do it, you have to be ready to make a big deal about how great that was.

Of course a kid who wants a cookie is going to be diappointed if you offer a banana or an apple. No one can change that. What you can train the kid to do is better manage disappointment. As they learn to do that--through positive reinforcement--the drama goes down. That's what the article is about.

Top tips for protecting your business
OK, I'm not sure what past performance you pulled off these companies websites. But for your portfolios you seem to be claiming you have a 90/10. So I am guessing you are relatively young, in your 20s maybe early 30s. Are the numbers you got from the other websites the same portfolio? If not, I don't think it's fair to put them side by side like that.

If you want to use a 90/10 you can but something for a more typical portfolio or a way to adjust the buckets seems to be a more common practice. One reason is if a person visits a site and just sees returns from a 90/10, that would be misleading if this person needs a totally different portfolio with a different risk profile (maybe someone a bit older who needs a 60/40). More text can help clarify what is going on.

I clicked on the Acorns portfolio and it's not even technically 90/10. It's 30% real estate - it's biggest holding. This isn't your fault as many people can and do call REITs stocks because of them being traded on stock exchanges. But really they are trusts investing in real estate. So if someone already owns or is about to buy real estate and they want to diversity their other future savings into stocks and bonds, then calling REITs stocks is not helpful.

Quote from Vanguard REIT website: "Appropriate for helping diversify the risks of stocks and bonds in a portfolio." If REITs are stocks how are they appropriate to help diversify the risk of stocks....Can be confusing to someone new to investing. https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/snapshot?FundIntExt=I...

One more thing to keep an eye on is how you show returns if you are going to. Averaging annual returns or annualized returns can be tricky.

For example. If the last three years returns are 8%, 8% and 8%. Are the average returns 8% or 8.7%?

This gets more extreme with real numbers as just in the last 10 years stocks have been as low -37% and as high as +32%. Whats the average return for these years -2.5% or -8.4%. Big difference.

Just to be clear I think it's OK to compare products side by side and show historical returns. But I would be really careful that you're disclosing the necessary information and making sure you are comparing the same things apples to apples.

A real-time OS/app wouldn't benefit even with a 5 cycle Crit-section. Most, if not all, "true" real-time OSes require "real-time" data coming in from IRQs.

I found it well worth reading. In particular, I thought the following paragraph expressed my own beliefs better than I've previously been able to:

Do you believe that society should draw the line at all when it comes to limitations on hate speech?

No. Hate speech laws are wrong. The question – not a question, but THE question – is ‘who gets to define hate?” That’s not to say there’s no such thing as hate speech – clearly there is. Hate speech laws repress, and I mean that in the psycho-analytical sense. They drive [hate speech] underground. It’s not a good idea, because things get ugly when you drive them underground. They don’t disappear, they just fester, and they’re not subject to correction. I made these videos, and they have been subject to a tremendous amount of correction over the last six weeks. I don’t just mean from my public response, but also partly from the university’s response, partly from a group of friends who have been reviewing my videos and criticizing them to death. This is why free speech is so important. You can struggle to formulate some argument, but when you throw it out into the public, there’s a collective attempt to modify and improve that. So with the hate speech issue – say someone’s a Holocaust denier, because that’s the standard routine – we want those people out there in the public so you can tell them why they’re historically ignorant, and why their views are unfounded and dangerous. If you drive them underground, it’s not like they stop talking to each other, they just don’t talk to anyone who disagrees with them. That’s a really bad idea and that’s what’s happening in the United States right now. Half of the country doesn’t talk to the other half. Do you know what you call people you don’t talk to? Enemies.
Didn't know that. Surely some people tried steganography? Or is there too much noise to try something like that? (and thanks for the antenna book recommendation)

Another post-Trump FUD piece about tech companies. Urgent call to "fix" something that has been broken for many years and no one in the media minded one bit.

Firstly, I don't get many of the mentioned autocomplete results, so the very premise of the author (that Google actively peddles this stuff to neutral, well-meaning users) is made-up. Go into private window mode, try it for yourself. No, really.

Secondly, if you do search for "are X evil" you will get what you asked for: conspiracy websites and low-grade propaganda. This is not restricted to the few Xs cherry-picked in the article. If you query is shaped for getting biased results, why shouldn't you? That's the whole point of search engines.

This is not to say that Google is doing a great job at filtering out SEO-d garbage. It's been getting worse in this regard for the last decade. But the article's "analysis" is awful. It jumps around, it anchors, it uses name-dropping. (Ironically, they name-drop China, which indeed "solved" the problem with bad search results.)

I'm glad that there are people standing up for common sense, despite the danger to their reputation, careers, and possibly, if insanity goes unchecked, freedom. There are some disturbingly authoritarian viewpoints that are becoming chillingly widespread in our supposed bastions of liberal free-thought.
> 'In any normal election year, we’d compare the two presidential candidates side by side on the issues.'

You're lifting one sentence out of context. The rest of the paragraph reads [1]:

"In any normal election year, we’d compare the two presidential candidates side by side on the issues. But this is not a normal election year. A comparison like that would be an empty exercise in a race where one candidate — our choice, Hillary Clinton — has a record of service and a raft of pragmatic ideas, and the other, Donald Trump, discloses nothing concrete about himself or his plans while promising the moon and offering the stars on layaway."

The president-elect's walking back on so many of his promises since the election seem to be vindicating these comments.

The context was:

In a sophisticated religious system, there is a positive and negative polarity. Ideologies simplify that polarity and, in doing so, demonize and oversimplify.

I think you've over interpreted the sentence you've quoted.

The same could be said of TV networks, Spotify, Twitter, Google photos.

We are the catalyst that turn stories, music, photos into emotional reactions. We control the dials. Facebook makes it incredibly easy to step outside our bubbles. Click the Like button on a Page that challenges your beliefs, interact with that information and you'll see more of it.

If we're not seeing it, it's probably because we don't want to.

Facebook is not a window to the world. It's a mirror of ourselves. Perhaps there should be guidelines on how to consume information - and I thought school served that purpose - but to expect a social network (a blank slate that you populate with your interests) to provide one a healthy dose of diverse opinion is to deny ones agency and responsibility.

I bet if Trump and Brexit lost the internet would be totally fine.

These articles are only to drum up support for FB and Google applying a Guardian-like bias. It's not an article about all the ways Google is biased, it's an article specifically about the instances in which google is biased against their POV.

Seriously, if you can't convince people that jews aren't evil, just give up your position as an editorial writer because you're totally incompetent at your job.

Of course the media's position is not that we make weak and ineffectual arguments, to people who have tuned them out long ago, it's that Google and FB are biased which is why no one believes their POV.

If you're losing a debate it's likely because you made crappy points not that the the debate stage is biased against you.

Jesus fuck Lincoln won an election 150 years ago being against racism, and you can't win against fucking Trump and Farage 150 years later, and you think it's because Google autocompletes, 'jews are' ... evil?

If punishment changes behavior, why does anyone get more than one speeding ticket? Why does recidivism exist at all?

If the world evolved in linear terms, you would be right. However, the rate of scientific advancement has multiplied exponentially over the history of mankind: our scientific understanding has advanced more in the last 100 years than it has in the previous 10000 combined (nuclear physics, quantum physics, molecular biology, information technology, astronomy/cosmology - you name it.)

The emergence of the 'regressive left' wasn't something I expected either, but I think it's important to remember that ideology and methodology are not the same thing.
For example, I've noticed in the last decade or so a lot of people ( many friends ) embracing established science as a religion; no attempt to understand the material, and no interest in the progress of science or it's methodology other than as a stick to try to beat up the perceived opposition to their group.
