You get investors to give you money so you can pay to hire capable people. Or else you realize that the world doesn't owe you workers to generate profit for you to skim/scalp. If you have 'an idea' the first thing to realize is that ideas are worthless. Utterly and completely worthless. The only thing worth a cent is execution. And execution does not consist of expecting others to execute for you for no compensation. That's begging.

Yes, it is illegal for unpaid interns to do ANY work that has actual value to the business. Full stop. Unpaid interns are supposed to be about the company giving back to the local community and providing training and the laws are such that if they perform work that is used by the business in any way, the business is breaking the law.
If only we had a profession which studied different cultures so we could get some idea of what it means to "treat people as people", instead of treating others as reflection of one's own culture.

Perhaps we could call it "anthropology", from "anthropo-" for "man, people, humanity" and "-logy" for "the study of".

Then we could let anthropology researchers figure out the best way to handle these sorts of issues.

While I understand Russian propaganda in the US election is disconcerting, I feel like the fury over it is very reactionary.

There's nothing stopping someone on US soil from exercising their first amendment rights in the same way to subvert an election. In fact I expect the next presidential election will be dominated by the same tactics from local organizations.

The susceptibility of Americans to shitty lies, conspiracy theories, and a lack of numeracy is a vastly greater threat to the integrity of the US government and much more difficult to fix.

A dozen things? Temperature, hunger, 'nappy', burps ... there's nothing else a baby ordinarily cares about.

Also it's not formulaic, a key thing IMO that those caring for infants need to realise is that babies cry. They don't decide to cry, they sometimes just cry.

Ever have a day when you feel sad/happy/emotional/excited/whatever and you don't know why? Babies do too, and what they do is cry, because they can't write posts on social media yet.

"They cry all the time, I'm doing something wrong", are they failing to prosper (put on weight after the initial dip), then it's highly unlikely the crying has anything to do with you at all.

Stick your finger in the nappy elastic to see if they've dumped, you now know if they're too hot/cold too; give them a hug and a chat, offer them milk.

IMO you need to learn to read your baby rather than treat like a car with a service schedule.

"Normally they wake at 3:13+/-12, not 3:50; and their median time to evacuation is 80mins, not 115; ..." you're going to stress yourself out. Babies are not machines.

It doesn't matter, twitter. Delete the bots, ban the people making them, use ML to find out how they make so many and look so convincing to Americans, be transparent about how many people vs. bots you have. Or go home.

Right, you can't do any of that because then your shareholders would know about your hugely inflated growth numbers and your stock would collapse. I wonder, Twitter is so much worse for society than anyone ever knew, and they have been so quiet and complacent in the Russian takeover of the USA, that maybe they have acted illegally? Is it possible Twitter has been lying about bot account numbers and inflating their userbase counts to increase share value?

Okay, kick off the ads made by Russian enemies of the USA, that's a good move. But why did you allow it in the first place? Because of the money, and because nobody thought at Twitter than Russians buying political ads is a bad idea? The purchased ads weren't even the main issue - it's the millions and millions of bots echoing racist and hateful things to divide and wreck the US.

Fuck twitter.

This isn't enough. Apologize for the Russian takeover that you let happen. Don't donate that money to some cause about civic debates in the future. America is under attack right now. Give that money to someone who can stop the Russians because it's not you or your civic debates.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but fundamentally HEPA is about removing tiny particles whereas other approaches catch larger particles, and organic fires mostly release larger particles. HEPA filters for your house are extreme overkill, it's like living in a medical lab.

Not only that, but B12 isn't actually produced by any of the animals which make up those "animal products" which allegedly have "plenty" of B12 in them. The animals, if they have B12, get it from eating vegetables which have bacteria on them.

These days, however, many animals destined for the dinner table are pumped full of antibiotics (which may kill those B12-producing bacteria), are fed other animals or sterilized grains/vegetables. So it is quite possible that the animals themselves aren't getting adequate B12, and as a result even animal eaters might have a B12 deficiency.

My own doctor recommends all his patients, whether or not they're vegetarian, take B12 supplements.

Of course they're capable. That's apparent. But a strong capital base does not fall into a nation's lap simply because its people are capable.

The Chinese had very little capital, then over the course of the 80's built it up. How? Through direct investment. They were given the investment because investors recognized that Chinese commitment to property rights and stability.
If someone posts a link to their GitHub on their resume or makes mention of it during the interview process, I take that as "you are giving me free range to look at your code and potentially make a hiring/advancement decision based on what I see," and I definitely peruse and ask questions.
It was exactly the opposite where I studied. All exam results were public, albeit anonymized where each student had an identification number instead of their names. This didn't promote unhealthy competition, but rather fostered seeking help from students who outperformed you.
Terminal illness can't really be hidden and does affect your spouse and family.

A better analogy is infidelity. You shouldn't tell a partner if you've been unfaithful because it benefits no one. I think this quite by the Australian author Bettina Arndt says it best:

"That's the amazing thing. So many people end up confessing to an affair, which strikes me as the ultimate stupidity. Sure, you may believe you are confessing all to preserve honesty in your marriage, or because he/she deserved the truth, but the reality is that this 'telling' business is all about people not having the backbone to live with their guilt. Telling doesn't right the wrong; it adds to it."

I thought it was going to be perfect since it's much lighter and thinner than a Surface Pro 4.

You need a remote server for this to work, since you won't get access to the underlying shell without jailbreaking. Depending on reliable networks was mistake #1.

Also, while Panic was a good enough terminal emulator, its redrawing was unreliable when switching from app to app. This might have changed with iOS 11, but it bugged me to no end before.

Lastly, I learned that much of the web (and some apps in particular, namely Remote Desktop) still thinks that you have a mouse. I used Cloudcraft when it first came out to draw some diagrams for an interview. I straight-up could not do it without a mouse, and iOS (stubbornly) does not support mousing. This on top of buggy CMD+TAB functionality and some apps straight up not working without a mouse ended the experiment for me.

I don't know about theoretical physics, but math professors usually have almost no burden to produce grant money. My observation is the same - they are very relaxed.

In my school, the physics department was part of the College of Engineering. They had the usual 80 hour weeks because their evaluations depended on the amount of grant money they brought in.
Had an accident several years ago, I was 100% sure that the other car ran the red light. Of course the other driver lied and nobody was determined at fault since there is no evidence nor witness (midnight). Later in police report I saw the other driver is DRIVING WHEN SUSPENDED, NO WONDER WHY.

So I bought a dash cam. I recently bought a new one that acts like a rear mirror (it also has a rear camera that I didn't use). I think it's pretty cool so I don't need to stick it to my window and fall off due to day/night temperature change. No accident ever since but it makes me feel safe :)
> The susceptibility of Americans to shitty lies, conspiracy theories, and a lack of numeracy is a vastly greater threat to the integrity of the US government and much more difficult to fix.

This susceptibility is likely not particular to Americans. It's this difficult-to-fix nature that necessitates taking an indirect approach to solving this problem.
Of course not everyone can be directly involved with the allocation of resources, however as with all scarce resources decisions need to be made from time to time on which usage would best benefit society; in this case, I'm an advocate for democratic management of such resources. I don't think that power only comes with information, the power comes when people are given extra abilities to deal with that information (such as using personal preference to dictate allocation) so I think that protections are needed.

I think the problem with central planning stretches further; the goal of the Communists is to avoid alienation from one's labour, the non-commodity of labour-power, however having labour being externally imposed (whether by the capitalist and the "market" within capitalist society, or by the central planner within Socialist society) is alienation by definition. Therefore some change in the method of planning is required. Marx wrote that there are four forms of alienation, one which I think is important here is alienation of the worker from the act of production; the Communist movement aims to reject this alienation through making the whole productive capacity of society available to all such that the worker can in almost all cases direct his own labour, all production is social therefore, as all workers contribute.

So the kind of planning in higher stage Communism is much past the idea of a government planning, rather, as Marx wrote (to what some consider a contradiction), society regulates general production. To quote,

>For as soon as the distribution of labour comes into being, each man has a particular, exclusive sphere of activity, which is forced upon him and from which he cannot escape. He is a hunter, a fisherman, a herdsman, or a critical critic, and must remain so if he does not want to lose his means of livelihood; while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.
I would argue that while there's nothing wrong with digital and I still do plenty of things digitally, there's something to be said for the analog as well. Digital still doesn't offer a few things that can be valuable: in-person social interaction (pretty much by definition), flexibility (I can write literally anything on a piece of paper, it doesn't have to conform to any particular structure or require I load a drawing app to make a diagram, etc), and having a physical artifact of your efforts.

I used to make a bunch of attempts at keeping journals digital only in the past, and in the past year I started keeping a physical design diary where I recorded all my game design ideas. It's hard work keeping up with it, but seeing the result of those efforts is very much worth it to me. Then in addition to that I spend a little extra time digitizing it (basically when my brain is mush and I don't want to think about things), so I have both the artifact and a digital copy of it for reference on the go.

I have a gazillion files on my hard drive, and all those things can easily get buried into archives or deep nests of folders and become 'out of sight, out of mind' for me. But I can pick up the diary, browse through it, go "Oh yeah, that thing! I should think about that some more", and if I happen to die, I bet most of my digital files will be completely overlooked, whereas people will see the design diaries and potentially do something with them.

It is a lot more work to write everything physically though. I seem to be perpetually a month behind on recording in it nowadays.

Secondly, I used to work in video games, and I really got tired of everything I worked on eventually being unable to be enjoyed by friends because it was trapped on an old platform, or the company no longer supported it, it disappeared from an app store (sometimes after only two years), the format stops being supported (in the case of my old Flash games), etc.

Meanwhile, most of my board game designs are all cards, tokens, etc that are completely self-contained, don't require system or platform upgrades, and can easily survive 50 years or more (I know, because I own board games still in excellent condition that are that old).
There's also the small problem of an ever-increasing percentage of traffic coming from mobile browsers with no or limited extension support.
Thanks anyways, I see peoplewindow has pointed out some important issues around my question!
"off-board"?
I don't think the comments suggest that the FBI thinks the complaint "probably doesn't meet the standard under the law." They indicate that some specific posts are maybe a stretch under the law (e.g. something like it "comes close to the line"). It's embarrassing as hell, but that's about it.
That concept of surety we cannot grasp with the observation tools we have available, but it's also not necessary to grasp it; the assumption that the 1 element was changing rather than the 111 only becomes functionally "incorrect" if it contradicts some other observation we make.

Beyond that, the grand truth of what's actually happening becomes a bit uselessly murky. The real function of Occam's Razor is to allow us to simplify models for our own benefit (because simpler models are easier to interpret and use), not necessarily because the simple answer is the Actual Truth(TM), which we can't know outside of observation.

There's a thought experiment in college philosophy: how do you know the universe wasn't created from nothing precisely six seconds ago, with all matter and energy in the universe arranged with the precise concentrations and momenta they would need to become the present universe in precisely six seconds?
Seems there's an angle of trust that includes Zipf's law.

Given that attention is limited, if there are some n services, any one individual's awareness of the ith service is likely 1/i. And the general population awareness will also fall with 1/i. If trust is a function (among other things) of familiarity, then there's simply limited trust in a universal-service market (that is: no subpopulation-specific grouping of service, e.g., by geography).

So much this.

If you aren't generating profits, and want someone to work for you, either:

* borrow the money in your own name

* borrow against your house

* don't bring them on

You're the one creating the risk. You've gotta eat it.

Anything else is massively unethical.
Thank you, thats brilliant
That susceptability is borne, perhaps rightly so, from mistrust of our government - just look at the election, both sides were going to great lengths including speaking to foreign powers in order to try to get dirt on the other, and one went as far as to use federal law enforcement for political gain.

Once our government learns that the consequence for subverting the trust of their citizenry is chaos, things will get better. But not until then. These people work for us, not the other way around.
Yeah, as much of a fan as i am of decentralization, i have to acknowledge that certainly - and unfortunately - any challenges to wider participation are not merely technically, but do consist of "soft" challenges, such as those related to behavior, incentives, and such. Its a tough nut to crack, no doubt. I'm sure early adopters of other similar systems like email brought up similar questions back in the day.

Although, one has to wonder, do the folks leading the charge for these decentralized services really want each and every single person on facebook to over-night migrate to the new communities? Maybe; but i would gather maybe not. Maybe it started with some programmer simply scratching their own itch, and offering others to "come on over and have fun at our party"? It's fun and encouraging to hear recent popularity with some decentralized platforms. And my being a fan of such platforms does bias me; triggering delight in me when i hear such news. But I don't believe that the default (or only) goal of any decentralized social service is to amass the maximum number of users. Wouldn't that be more of a goal for a centralized silo, or a shiny, new startup? If i set up my own Gnu Social server/instance and my family, and i use it to post fun stuff for ourselves, maybe that's my only goal.
