>tweets are great. It's the only way I've been able to connect to airlines immediately (once after waiting on hold for 4+ hours)

That is true, but has less to do with the platform and more to do with how few people are on it, compared to how many dedicated social media person(s) there are responding.

In other words, so few people know how to send a tweet (vs send an email or make a phone call) that you are competing for more attention with less other customers. If your grandma suddenly became more comfortable sending a tweet than making a phone call, that would change.

I believe there are two important reasons two to listen to people with opposing or extreme positions.

1 - Those oppinions _may_ have a single grain of truth. And, as reasonable beings, we cannot allow that truth to be buried or silenced.

2 - Regardless os the validity or truthfullness of that opinion, we should try to understand _why_ that person holds those opinions. This helps us understand why and how some ideas and opinions still persist to this day.

> The food is very good, but the instructions are written by someone who (a) seems to have a gourmet kitchen at their disposal and (b) doesn't do dishes after

I got exactly the reverse impression; the recipes go out of their way to minimize the number of pieces of cookware required (both per recipe, by reuse, and across recipes), which both caters to those without a well-studied kitchen and minimizes the work of dishes.

They are obsessive about mis en place, which can use a few more prep bowls than strictly necessary, but prep bowls are easy cleanup, pots and pans are the time consuming items. (OTOH, mis en place is pretty much the secret key to efficient meal preparation, especially with multiple components, that many home cooks overlook. It's better to be slightly overboard with it than the alternative.)
One thing that matters a lot is the behaviour of the people.

I used to work in a small open office where one guy would constantly hold debates with everyone. It was pretty hard to stay out of it, and very distracting.

Now I'm in an office with a similar layout and staff, but it's like a library. There's the occasional group discussion or banter, but not enough to bother.

I've worked in finance my whole career, so it's all open plan, lots of screens. Never had my own office, people always needed (well so they say) to be accessible.

Totally with you there. I've been oscillating between smoking and vaporizing, and running and not running lately. I feel best, by a gigantic margin, when I am vaping and running >4x / week.

You can complain about Wikipedia, but you missed the point of me mentioning it. Here's a question I want answered because otherwise he might as well present as such:

Otherwise, its basically a "just one goat" situation, except he done like 7 goats. the day to day things are just not gonna stick out as much as the big things so what he says on his podcast isn't enough to change that perception.
> But congestion? That's going to get a lot worse, it's not going to be the utopia that people here seem to expect.

Some congestion, but other congestion will get better. Parking shortage is a form of congestion that will get better when cars can drop you off rather than needing to find a parking space. Also, circling and searching for parking when there's little available causes congestion. There's few more frustrating driving experiences than being stuck behind someone going 10mph while looking for parking.

I can imagine one of the initial big selling points to self-driving cars will be a "go earn money" mode where, instead of parking your car, you tell it what time to come back and pick you up and it goes to drive for Uber/Lyft in the interim and accepts any ride that doesn't preclude it from returning in time.
I agree with the idea of feedback on how far you've progressed - though a linear graphic might not be possible. I assume we are navigating a tree whose depth varies greatly with your answers.

After a particular selection you might have tree of max depth 10, but with the other selection you land on a tree of max depth 5, for example.

Personally, I've love to see a list of the conditions whose probabilities are increasing and decreasing with each selection. This may not be suitable for the average consumer, but it would be very educational! And also fun.

For me personally, the value proposition is not having to think about cooking _until I start cooking_.

I just come home to matching ingredients and can start cooking at any time (which I mostly enjoy doing and is relaxing). It also saves time that I would need to decide on recipes and make lists and go shopping (all of which I don't like and stresses me out).

Its not about saving the maximum amount of time, but getting rid of the unpleasant parts around cooking at home. And eating out is much more expensive (where I live, maybe except the junkiest of junkfood), so this is an acceptable compromise.
Ok, let's assume we find a warm, watery planet like Earth's within ~20 light years, and we figure out a way to travel >= 50% the speed of light, making it somewhat reasonable to get there. If the planet's gravity is greater than 10% different from Earth's, or its Day/Night cycle is much different from Earth's, wouldn't it still be a nightmare to live on.

Anatomically modern humans have lived on Earth for 200,000 years, and the creatures we descended from have lived on Earth for 541 million years. Stuff as dumb as the moon cycles affect us. How are we going to live somewhere that isn't exactly Earth?
Problem is deeper (and simpler). IBM does not look for clients, but rather victims. We clients end up being caught in an internal upsales fight.

> But I've come to realize that a lot depends on the layout of the office

A lot also depends on the people that work around you.

If everyone respects one another, then it's usually OK.

However, there is often at least one person who talks and talks and talks for most of the day (and somehow keeps their job), and at least one person who talks VERY LOUDLY on the phone all day (because they're far away, so obviously you need to shout to be heard?!).
Hearing distances like 12 light years makes you think if it is ever possible to travel there.

It's interesting that you never seem to hear complaints about the underrepresentation of women in the less glamorous/more dangerous professions, like fishing, mining, logging, commercial diving, cleaning out sewers and so on. Nor do you hear anything about how we can improve health and safety in these professions with the aim of reducing death and injury. Its seems like there is clear disregard for men's safety, and that the focus is not on achieving equality for women, but in fact ensuring them a privileged position where they have preferential access to the best careers, and the burden of unpleasant jobs falls squarely on men. I've heard it described as feminism until the life boats come out.
Yeah I don't understand this enthusiasm for autonomous cars. It seems like the HN-crowd seems to wax enthusiasm for solutions that don't yet exist, and absolutely reject alternatives (bikes, public transit) that already exist and work. With new solutions comes new problems, and I can see congestion being a big one.

I guess it's not sexy to implement the tried-and-true, but it's a lot more sexy to dream.
There are a couple of things about this study that are puzzling to me.

First, I'm a little confused about how to interpret the finding that hypertension related deaths increased, but not stroke or heart attack; I have not been aware of hypertension as a common direct cause of death. For example the textbook "Cardiology Explained" states that: "If untreated, hypertension has serious consequences, including renal disease, myocardial infarction (MI), and cerebrovascular accident." Most general literature that I can recall reading seemed to similarly characterize high blood pressure as a risk factor for other causes of death.

Second, the author of study states "Support for liberal marijuana use is partly due to claims that it is beneficial and possibly not harmful to health." Who is supporting "liberal marijuana use"? Support for "liberal use" is not implied by support for decriminalization.

I hope that press release has left out some sort of context or attribution for this, because it is making it hard for me to take the study seriously.

Here is the meat of the abstract, and a link to the full text of the study:
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/2047487317723212

"Method:
We linked participants aged 20 years and above, who responded to questions on marijuana use during the 2005 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to data from the 2011 public-use linked mortality file of the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Only participants eligible for mor- tality follow-up were included. We conducted Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to estimate hazard ratios for hypertension, heart disease, and cerebrovascular mortality due to marijuana use. We controlled for cigarette smoking and other relevant variables.

Results:
Of the 1213 eligible participants 72.5% were presumed to be alive. The total follow-up time was 19,569 person-years. Adjusted hazard ratios for death from hypertension among marijuana users compared to non-marijuana users was 3.42 (95% confidence interval: 1.20–9.79) and for each year of marijuana use was 1.04 (95% confidence interval:1.00–1.07).

Conclusion:
From our results, marijuana use may increase the risk for hypertension mortality. Increased duration of
marijuana use is associated with increased risk of death from hypertension. Recreational marijuana use potentially has cardiovascular adverse effects which needs further investigation."
There was previously a free website called notakeout.com, which has since gone under (there's currently something else on the domain that's completely unrelated).

What they did was provide daily dinner recipes for fancy-restaurant type meals, with instructions, wine pairing, and shopping list. If you're an omnivore, you could simply print the day's page, stop at the grocery store on the way home, and cook whatever it was.

It seems to me that this represents about 80% of the value of Blue Apron at no cost (I think they had a for-pay email service, or something?).

Just because there is science and studies that indicate that women and men are "X", on average, it does not mean you can immediately dismiss people's grievances with the fact that some people are under-represented in one area or another.

My wife certainly does not fall under what the studies would deem a woman to be on average (nor that of which the author of the blog describes). Therefore, she would most definitely protest any notion that the reason why she is not "X" is due to her biology and scientific studies and take issue with anyone in the workplace trying to frame her current position as "she is in that job role due to her biology."

>WSWS is a political and a ideological advocacy site

I'm always a little amused when people use "ideology" in this way. Marx said that ideology promotes "false consciousness" about political power structures; by this measure, that which exposes false consciousness is anti-ideological. So by this measure, WSWS is non-ideological.

On the other hand, Zizek claims that for someone to actually be captured by ideology, the ideology must be first presented to them as non-ideological. Can you see the conundrum? Ideology isn't an illusion, rather, to be rid of ideology may be to put on the glasses rather than take them off, to use Zizek's example in the film They Live.

>with a non-mainstream interpretation of world history

Perhaps it is the mainstream that is ideological, because it's true ideology that holds the most power!

That's not high tech. That's literally just a device constantly emitting a high pitched beep.

As you grow older, your hearing degrades. Especially if you subject yourself to loud noises or loud music (e.g. almost any live concert). The beep the device emits is just outside the hearing range of most adults (kinda like the hum old CRTs sometimes gave off).

Unless it's extremely loud it won't cause any damage, and it's less harmful if you can't hear it (because not hearing it means your ears can't pick it up in the first place) but I wonder if there are concerns about noise pollution.

Clearly, he's never used Blue Apron, since they have you do the chopping work.

Takeout requires me to leave my house; that is often less convenient than Blue Apron.

Delivery is arguably more convenient, though where I live the non-pizza choices without hefty delivery fees on top of restaurant prices are limited.
I'm pretty naive on the subject of Bitcoin so I might be missing something here, but can someone explain to me how it's used right now? Aside from treating BTC like a stock that is. The value of it fluctuates so much that actually buying/accepting it seems incredibly risky. The price can go down just as fast as it goes up.

As a someone looking make purchases with BTC; if the value of a BTC is going up, why would I use it to buy anything? It's gone up $700 in the last week; up $200 in the last 24 hours alone. I'd feel incredible silly spending bitcoin in a growth phase.

As someone looking to accept BTC for purchases, how do I do so with confidence that when I accepted $3400 today that by the time I cash out it's not worth $2700?

My confusion really comes from the buying/selling of legal goods; I can see the risk being worth it if you're operating outside the law. But really; if I'm selling something then there's a pretty good chance I'm buying my supplies with a fiat currency. I have hard and set costs I need to cover. If I accept BTC, there's a chance that when it's all said and done the BTC isn't worth what I paid and now I'm losing money.

Are businesses just expected to accept that risk? If so, how many businesses are actually willing to accept that risk? Or do we have to wait for the price to settle down before seeing more widespread adoption?

It's inevitable that even good faith counterarguments will occasionally mistake exactly what the original argument was. Especially when the participants start with such different viewpoints and on topics that they obviously feel strongly about. The way to continue the argument (if that's what you want to do) is to point out what the stronger (and perhaps more correct/original) version of the point being countered is and how it differs from the version that was countered.

Simply dismissing counterpoints without engaging to make sure you understand them runs the risk of falling for the exact thing you're criticising.
