To take a direct example, in the during 70s-90s some left-leaning families tried to avoid gender specific clothes and toys in order to avoid that the children would fall into typical gender roles. Today the left want gender specific toys, but that toys designed for girls and toys designed for boys should both include professions that are currently popular so that both boys and girls have role models in those. The goal of the first is the remove the group thinking (a very explicit goal, if one read the politics of that time), while the modern left has as a goal that the groups stay distinct and strongly different but that both are included in society in a equal way.

An other example would be collage kids. 30-40 years ago we had the political debate around private gender segregated college vs communal gender mixed college. The argument was that by mixing genders people will be more inclusive and less rigid in their group thinking. In modern left politics we instead see a lot of talk about women only school as an effective way to protect women and get more women into professions that is dominated by men. The idea is that they society should include them by giving them an exclusive safe space.

On the topic of religions I can also see a similar change in theme. Old left were more atheism leaning (through possible less so in the US) and regarded what people did in private as private and not part of group identity. Modern left is more focused in giving each religion equal space and promoting the different groups that self-identify as belong to one. It consider it especially important that society give each group the unique consideration that they need/demand.

The general theme here is that the old left either explicit or indirectly downplayed self-identified groups (gender, religions, and sexual orientation) by simply welcoming in everyone to join in the greater common goal (mostly against money/power in some version or other), and the group that did get promoted was the left movement itself. The right during this time acted in direct opposite by highlighted the multiple "others" in order to strengthen the self-group. Both the old and modern left movement focus on inclusion, but its the method used here and the side effects of those that is in stark contrast between new and old.
They are probably trying to focus on the content first - and the discussion second.

It might be a resource issue, because of all the content publication outlets there are they have to make that the best.

Right now, someone can easily post a Medium article here, or on Reddit, and get two different discussions on the same content each with their own features and community standards - without mixing them or trying to define what it means to start a response thread on Medium.

Because Medium's focus is most likely on being a publication platform, they probably see comments and responses to comments as Medium articles within themselves within the context of that thread. The UI seems clunky in comparison to HN or Reddit, or even Digg, but that may be "the point." If so, I still think they got it wrong, but only because they need to more formally execute against this vision.

Today, authors who understand this paradigm right a "response blog post" and link to the one they are responding to and provide context before making a long form response. I think Medium is trying to capture this, but they haven't yet.

>What's the difference between this argument and "why should I have to pay for the insurance of others who get sick? should we all have to pay because a few can't live a healthy life?"?

Accepting universal drug prohibition is not anything like accepting mandatory insurance. Mandatory insurance results in nearly everyone being covered by insurance. Conversely, universal prohibition doesn't result in people NOT using drugs, it simply results in drugs being expensive and unregulated. Over a century of of strict prohibition has demonstrated this extensively.
> This is different, though, from the case where you are employed as a secretary for a bodyguard company and then work as a musician outside of your regular employment, isn't it?

Not really. If the contract states they own everything you do while you're employed by them, they really do own everything.

As for Adele, she's British. Such clauses are generally null and void in the English Common Law system. Your employer owns what they pay you do to, and what you create using employer tools. But if you work as a computer programmer, and invent a better mousetrap at home, your employer can't claim ownership of the mousetrap.
Working through it as we speak. Computer is finished, doing assembler now.
The digital native is not a myth, he's just going extinct.

Back in the day the difference between a computer user and a computer programmer was, at best, blurry. You had to know how to program to use a computer.

And hardware and operating systems were complicated things you had to study, they weren't the appliances of today that "just work".

I think the breaking point was around the time Windows XP and Mac OS X were released. The difference in skills between those raised before that time and nowadays is mind blowing.

So the digital native exists, you just won't find one without grey hair.
Some people (like me) write programing blogs on medium because it's much easier to get an audience there then on your own domain. It has nothing to do with technical issues. Like it or not, often more people will discover and share medium articles than posts on a no-name domain.

I'd add that obfuscation mentioned in the question won't solve the finding customers problem. It is attractive because obfuscating JavaScript is a much much easier problem than finding customers. The primary problem is not people stealing software. The primary problem is people not buying it.
I meant productively, but whatever you say.
I'm not the person that wrote that. My discord is the state of journalism. This article doesn't inform anything that prevents the business model from working. People also attempted flight many centuries before succeeding. Arguing why the physics won't work or the ROI is not possible would be informative. This is just sad click bait.
> The fact that we've lost faith in humanity's ability to improve things by taking on large, ambitious projects, even if some, even if most, will fail, saddens me every day. It doesn't prevent me from trying to make the world a better place though, and I hope nobody else was discouraged by low-quality, knee-jerk thinking like this, either.

Exactly! The author pick and chose grand ideas from the past that didn’t work. We’re a nation that built the interstate highway system as well as the transcontinental railroad. Both of those ideas were considered impossible by many at the time but completely revolutionized transportation.
Earplugs. I don't like thinking and listening at the same time, usually silence is what I need. I've also found that earplugs make my breathing more apparent, which tends to make me breathe more deeply and regularly, which feels good.

I feel like one could have written this article back in the days of Tesla and Edison. The problem Geoff bemoans - that it's not good city planning, may even be true. That is rarely the only reason why things happen or not happen though, and that's been true as long as people have had cities.

While wanting "whatever is really the best, boring or not, gets done" is a great ideal, it's simply unrealistic for how the world works, and as any city planner who plans on a 50 year timeline will tell you - that isn't going to change without more fundamental changes in what drives people.

Instead, yes, PR, coolness/desire, and will play a significant part in what actually ends up being done. Saying we'd be better off if that wasn't true is not a particularly interesting insight. The more interesting insight would be giving some mechanism for convincing people to achieve that.
Because this article doesnt' do anything real on that front.

The voice interaction aspect may be new, but books and later the web were my go-to sources when I grew up, not my parents.

So to me it does feel like those "new" problems are not so new after all. Technology is just changing the mode of interaction, not the fundamental dynamic that lets kids entertain themselves without their parents.

Hyperloop is such a bad idea on so many levels. Mass transportation is the future: trains, suburban trains and metros. Not cars or "mini metros for cars".

Your approach is emblematic of programming as a culture of production versus a culture of understanding. I don't agree with any approach which characterizes a language as good or bad based on it's ability to read minds and make decisions based on the unknown.

When you mandate safe behavior based on any expert rules-based or heuristic system you have to leave the unsafe option open which is _just_ as bad.
Is the world really better than ever? (2017)
I am sympathetic, to a point - mainly because it is possible to improve interfaces, there's no physical constraint preventing that (there's also no guarantee that a different interface will work equally well for all users, of course). But I also would suggest it's reasonable to expect a certain level of basic understanding. Imagine someone pumping gas into their radiator, because the two holes were the same size. We don't design cars to prevent that, but we also don't expect people to make that mistake.

Yes, but the point was that if you could get to Hong Kong in 15 minutes for dumplings, you couldn't get to Hong Kong in 15 minutes because everyone else was going there, too.

And some of us don't live in New York because of the friction involved.
If we take two lines (one rail and one hyperloop) and compare the number of people that can be transported in an hour, then we can judge if multiple 12 person pods can transport more/less than trains over the same period. I suspect that pods might have a pretty good shot at winning.
When I look at what Elon Musk has done in recent years is, that he improved existing technologies.

Imagine that Musk would build a autonomous tram or light rail system with an induction contact rail instead of an overhead line.

Most of the technology exist, it just need to be combined into one train.

>Grown adults can make their own decisions and suffer the consequences.

Not in any western country. People are heavily insulated from the consequences of their actions by the welfare state. We even subsidize their ability to bring children into the world and (most likely) raise them poorly.
Those were both networks built off of scaling existing technologies (the highway is as old as people, and the railway was ~40 years old at that point).

It's a very different thing than entirely new tech outcompeting old and outscaling it, which is what Musk is attempting.

The question is why don't we have a national high speed rail network and if that hasn't or can't work, what's Hyperloop and Boring gonna do better?
..in theory. In practice, SF, can probably grow it's commuting catchment area (supply) by quite a lot before housing prices start to give. I would predict that you'd just end up with a bigger SF.
The question on the table is what (if any) conclusions can be drawn about the veracity of FAIR's report from finding two critical articles on google. I noted that a survey of 190 articles isn't necessarily shown to be wrong by the discovery of two critical articles on Google. Maybe there's a "there" there, but it's speculative, well short of the conclusion that "TFA just straightforwardly wrong to an embarrassing degree."

Berebo and elefanten both jumped in and observed that you might find similar positive/neutral/negative coverage breakdowns for other companies. Well, you certainly might. But doesn't speak one way or the other to the question of what two critical articles found on Google say about the veracity of FAIR's reporting. In light of this, are those two critical articles found on Google now better evidence? Worse? What's the connection?

Moreover, elefanten's point pulls in the opposite direction of sedachv's. sedachv suggests maybe there is more critical coverage than WaPo is getting credit for, meanwhile elefanten is suggesting that maybe there is a lack of critical coverage, not just at WaPo but across the industry.

You're saying that these observations are "relevant" in some general sense, which is true enough. But I am specifically asking what their connection is to the two critical articles found on Google. And because I'm asking this you seem to think it means that I don't understand their point and am being hostile.
I was thinking the same thing. Armchair critic that has nothing better to do than criticize people who are actually trying to innovate and improve society.
HN really need to add Matthew Butterick's sites to spamlist.
Depends on who is counting and for what purpose and what that person means by 'social media'...but to me, this seems like a question from a context where the answer is likely to be 'yes'.

It must be a truly incredible formula to consistently produce the same results as when serious eats spends multiple iterations researching and developing a recipe and documenting the process.
I recently wanted to move my Tumblr personal blog to Medium however after a few days of nightmare and still unable to setup a custom domain despite having paid $75 fee i requested a refund and closed my account. Their customer service and documentation kind of sucks!
counterpoint: it's also a bad thing because society functioning now becomes more reliant on this transportation method.

It destroys "walkable" spaces and encourages centralization of services, when a more uniform spread of services across space is in fact healthier.

I heard of a study recently that showed that cities in Japan that ended up getting Shinkansen stations ended up almost always shrinking, because people got used to going to Tokyo all the time and ended up just moving there. You see similar centralization in places like France (everything goes through Paris)

I realize your point but food deserts exist for a reason.
I don't understand what you mean. What demo?
You're right. Perhaps it's time to promote Postage. I've opened an issue for it here if you have any ideas:

https://github.com/workflowproducts/postage/issues/337
That's a very rosy view, only looking at the positive side of the coin and ignoring the negative side.

>1. You can live in a less expensive area, (i.e. miles away), and work in a major center.

...causing property values to rise in the "less expensive area" to match those in the urban center minus the cost of transport. Ultimately you're gentrifying the current residents out of their homes, causing more urban sprawl, and increasing land use pressure on agricultural land and wilderness.

>Basically once you have super fast transportation, it relieves pressure to housing prices on the work hubs/city centers

...shifting that pressure to surrounding rural areas. TANSTAAFL.

You talk about "huge economic positive impacts," but it sounds awfully like wealth transfer from rural people (which we're apparently ignoring?) to urban people. Given the audience on HN this bias is unsurprising, but still disappointingly common.

They wouldn't have raised that, if they were "just fine".
Very long time php dev here. What you are seeing is the relative fall from the crowd that moved in after the facebook social network movie. Much of the php hate started around this time. Over the last year people are moving back because of things like Laravel, composer, PHP 7 and issues in other languages. Will take 4 years to reach a peak.

Was it? If Tesla didn't exist would things look dramatically different today?

All electric cars use pretty much the same technology. It's been developed by a variety of companies. No doubt Tesla has moved things along faster than if they weren't here, and they've made some fantastic products, but I think the economic argument for electric cars plays a far bigger role in their development than any one specific company.
That doesn't seem to make sense. If "all rights reserved" is the default fallback, why are they using other people's code? By default, they should respect the copyright and ignore that the projects have additional terms to allow use only under certain conditions.

“Free Coins?” the Bitcoin Cash Hard Fork and What It Means for You
Huh? Transportation technology massively benefits the poor more than it does the rich.

The biggest expense that the working class pay is rent.

If you can cut long distance commute times in half, then that means that someone who works in the city is able to save 50% or more on rent by living outside the extremely expensive city.

Transportation and housing (2 sides of the same coin) is arguably the single most important issue facing the working class.
What doesn't make sense? Someone else got sued for doing something similar and even if they ultimately prevailed it probably cost them a lot of money.
I suppose neither voter is then voting in their own (financial) interests if rural voters tend to vote against rural infrastructure and urban voters tend to vote to subsidize rural infrastructure. Maybe I'm whitewashing this somewhat, but it's slightly heartening that many voters support their ideal vision of a country over their personal interests.
Huge killer mice I presume
Why do you need so many engineers?
The point (at least my point) is that if you could go to Hong Kong in 15m, we would be consuming a lot of "transport," thousands of times more KMs than we currently travel for dumplings or work or whatever. Whatever teleportation technology is responsible, needs to be almost unlimited in its capacity because our demand is almost unlimited.

When supply is limited (teleportation wormhole congestion) and demand is unlimited, something will negotiate the difference. This can be prices or congestion.
Nooo. Open source was always something I really believed in. I don't have projects which are used by the masses, but the random thanks by a stranger when he finds something I made and open sourced[1] as useful is priceless. But that's just me.

Even into the present there are a lot of legitimate concerns about Tesla. The rate at which he wants to ramp up production, whether public demand will be there for the 3, etc etc. It was and still very much is an unknown for Musk to pull this off. Not disagreeing with you, just trying to underscore that Tesla still has a lot of risk in it.

Edit: Also before the S no one had produced an EV with the range/polish to make anyone think they were anything more than a pipe dream at our current stage.
Perhaps it "makes sense" but the problem is it's monstrous. Similarly, summarily executing the homeless would probably reduce the number of homeless people on the street, but I do not support it because it is obviously morally bankrupt.
Bash has a few builtin that are clones of commands (mostly from coreutils). To execute the command instead of the builtin, just give the full path to the command (not sure and cannot verify, right now but this might mean either /bin/ulimit or /use/bin/ulimit ). There are other notable ones like echo, and time where the builtins have slightly different behaviour than the commands.
Do you know of any project that successfully does this?
