> Making friends takes work, and success is not guaranteed;

That's the gist of it.

In our society, people think human relationships are obvious, should be natural and self evident.

It's a concept that is reinforced by the medias, but also by the childhood memories where it kinda was.

But in the adult world, there are many social contracts and artificial boundaries you have to overcome, and connecting with people IS work.

What's more, it's work a lot of people are not trained to do anymore. And it's work with important consequences, good and bad.

I lived in Africa for a while, and there, you HAVE to connect to people to live. In some countries, basic informations and services can only be obtains by direct contact with another human. So the locals have no problem with loneliness, they make and break relations with ease.

Our modern society are making us kinda handicaped in that mesure, providing so many ways to avoid human contacts: delivery services, text informations everywhere, listings of things, etc. You don't have to ask where to find a product, what it contains, the price, then negociate it. You go to the shop, read, then pay, sometime even to a machine, or order it online.

It clicked, going back. I realized how easier my life was, and what a "cheat code" it is to just be able to talk to a random girl or joke with the guy next to me in the waiting room. I don't miss my times of being an introvert. It had zero benefits for myself.

We may mock Japan, but we are not making progress ourself.
I'm in a similar situation with Python and deployment that has no internet. We have a solution that works well.

The philosophy is to think of Python as a compiled language and then everything works.

The CI system make the "image" and that gets pushed. In our case we make a virtualenv but you could also use pyfreeze.

Works like a charm.

> When Facebook was getting going, I had these people who would come up to me and they would say, 'I'm not on social media.' And I would say, 'OK. You know, you will be.'

I think the tide has been steadily turning on this. I never did use social media beyond creating an account for work or curiosity, quickly getting bored and abandoning. Sure there may have been a time where I felt a little less connected, but those feelings have diminished over time.

The "workarounds" available for those not on social networking are abundant, and more importantly to me, much simpler and time effective for me to use.

The difference is, though, that the human driver is always capable of pressing it, and you have no way of proving that they certifiably never do in any situation.

If a self-driving car isn't programmed to ever use the horn, though, then that's a different situation. It's easy to prove that it can't ever use the horn because it isn't programmed to do so. That's more akin to a normal car having a horn in it that isn't wired up.

> Sellers just have to assume a 10% loss of gross margin due to issues like this. It's not the end of the world, but that's where the cost is.

This explains why individuals selling individual items, or a small number of items, can get so burned too. You need sufficient volume to cover all the inevitable bullets you have to swallow.
> A Switch is definitely worth less than the cost of having an attorney prepare even the initial legal complaint against you, let alone setting foot into court.

Small claims will be submitted to a collection agency, which will handle the legal posturing in a fully automated manner, i.e. Nintendo sells the claim for, say, 20 per cent of expected return and has nothing to do with it any more, ever (since the collection agency basically gives up if the debtor contests the claim, so they take a calculated risk that at least one fifth of claims will be paid uncontested).
Perhaps. But only because the mapping I've defined has so much symmetry.

Instead of the range [X-25 ... X+25], assign to each sex a random one of the 200-choose-50 (4.6 * 10^47) possible groups of partners sexes with size 50.

It would be impossible to completely describe the set of sexual compatibilities without simply enumerating them, and therefore necessary to treat the sexes as a set of discrete entities.
I cancelled my prime account after a string of issues, the worst of which I’ll summarize.

I bought a $1300 camera, received a $500 camera. Easy error, easy fix. I wish.

I had to call twice to initiate the return, call twice more to find out why a moth later I had neither a camera nor my money. Turns out the return was silently rejected. Why? “Wrong item returned.” No kidding! Had to call a fifth time to finally get this resolved, but at the end of that call I realized I was paying amazing $100 annually to fix issues that they caused.
In this case, it was a low-speed incident and the trucker was at fault. If the car didn't have the option to move backwards or avoid the incident without damage or injury, staying put is the best option. I don't see a problem here. Unless of course the truck was out of control and would've crushed the car.

There should be an emergency exit option on cars like this though.
You're wrong in your broad, abstract argument in a really obvious and shallow way:

It doesn't explain why the predominant strategy of life at all scales is mutualism and synergy between scales and kinds of life.

In no particular order, your "technical" argument fails to explain: eukaryotic structure, multicellular life, the interplay of fungii and roots, forests (which are more than adjacent trees), and really just about anything we see in the natural world. (Ed: I've thought of another 5 or 6 examples if you want to protest those -- mutualism is pretty easy to pick out in nature.)

And that's because you've failed to account for localized regions of stability able to ratchet themselves to greater and geater levels of stability -- and these metastable systems are the model we see on every scale of existence. Life does this as well, which means that we always see stable collaborations outpace competition (and unfairness) on an asymptotic scale. You literally failed to account for how life does work in your argument.

So I still don't believe you're advancing either a genuine observation (ie, it doesn't match fact to say it's unfair in general) or a principled theory (ie, it doesn't actually seem an internally consistent model -- at least, if you believe in physics).

I think you're trying to build a post-hoc justification for the human system being as it is.

Nah, I switched to Swift at v1.0, the transitions have been relatively easy. Right now our app has 90k lines of code so Swift 3 was a day of work, but mostly automated.

Swift 4 is automatic. The trick to making the transitions easy is to not abuse the language with too clever code. Write clear, straightforward and easily msinatainavle code and it will rarely be broken.
Hm. I thought using auto was the recommended, modern way of writing C++.
> How about having a decent society

Everyone wants this. An end to bullying would be great. Social expectations, roles, and conformity is harmful when it leads to groups ganging up on individuals.

And it doesn't end in school. I have personally had job interview in which the lack of popular social activity outside schools hours resulted in me not getting the job. Every time I see a studying looking at appearance and conformity to social expectations and norms I see a global phenomenon where society rewards conformity and punish non-conformity. Faking conformity is not a solution, but I can't say there has been much progress in removing the underlying issue. From my view there was progress until about mid 1970, in which the trend reversed and now we have a polarized world in which you either must conform to a naturalist or purist view (The Chromium Fence).

> When I worked in a hospital, I was constantly amazed at the idle chit chat relatives made with people who had very short time left.

Measure the stress levels and I think you would get a interesting correlation. There were a study done on parents to cancer sick children, and there were some direct correlation between behavior and stress management. In short summery to what I recall, suppressing the idea that the child was sick gave short-term stress reduction but that had a major price to pay when reality crashed in. Those that accepted reality early and gave themselves some room to exercise control (like making sure someone was in the room, that the nurses read the right bed-night story, and so on) generally faired better in the long run. It is not a fun study, but it is a good explanation for human behavior.
My rule of thumb is "the type has to be stated clearly and unambiguously at least once on the line the variable is declared.

Maybe:

No:

The thing is...by nature humans are a group species. If the group is using facebook, you will be compelled to use this too, either for social validation,feeling of belonging or whatever. You will always be weakened even if you don't need facebook. This is the hack. Even if you don't use it because "I value my real-life interactions. I value the moment. I value presence. I value intimacy.' you as an individual will always lose power in the group and will always be looked as weak, because in nature, humans are a group species.

One thing I wonder about is - why would it evolve to make the ants go away from the anthill?

Surely it would be best for spreading the fungus to make them go to the anthill and die there?

It seems more like a quarantine mechanism from ants POV. The fungus would spread faster if the ant continued as usual till it died, or stayed in the anthill.

But it also helps the fungus in a way - if the ants died in the anthill the whole anthill would soon die and the fungus with it.

So - maybe the ant reaction to the infection is actually a coevolved compromise between the fungus and the anthill, that lets both survive at the cost of individual ants?
I would guess that it's not a tricky question at all for the company, because the public reaction to a driverless car being hit while stationary is very different from the public reaction to a driverless car being involved in a collision while moving. People accept the former as a cut-and-dried situation but treat the latter as a he-said, she-said situation where they're free to project their own biases onto the situation. (Was the computer really not at fault? Like the globalist media would ever tell it straight when it comes to robots putting people out of work. Tech companies are never held responsible. Et cetera.)

Also, this kind of story is new and interesting right now, so people will pay attention to the details, they'll make up their mind how to feel about later stories that they won't bother to read because it will be boring by then. It's amazing luck for the company to get in a "hit while stationary" story right at the get-go to help groove the narrative that driverless cars are safer than human drivers.

From a public perception standpoint it would be so helpful (dons tinfoil hat) that you could almost imagine them arranging some accidents of that kind. I think it would be a dumb chance to take, so I don't believe that's what happened, but I bet they're fist-pumping over their good luck.
Is there a non-paywall version?
In the utopian driverless future, the truck was also driverless and the two had communicated their intent minutes before the incident so it never happened in the first place.

> Respect is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!

Uhm, no. Respect is something you earn, not something that you're entitled
to.

> Career Path / Advancement is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!

Well, yes, because nobody gives a sh&t about your career. Though creating
appropriate and attractive career prospects is in management's jurisdiction.

> Professional Growth is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!

Again, yes, because nobody gives a sh&t about your professional growth. Though
the growth doesn't happen on trainings and courses, but in the daily job, and
allowing employees to work on something to learn new skills is again in
management's jurisdiction. Employees can only do so much to learn on their
own in the work time.

> Money Earned is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!

WHAT!?! Except the fact that you can negotiate before accepting the job offer,
all the rest (raises) is management's jurisdiction.

> Personal Growth is EVERYONE’s Responsibility!

What's the difference between "personal growth" and "professional growth"?

> Everyone is responsible for seeing to it that they are challenged. If employees do the same thing day in and day out, they will get bored.

It's mainly management's jurisdiction to assign people to tasks.

Moses won't come down the mountain with stone tablets telling you what Instacart's "real" topline revenue is. You as a potential investor have to decide what you care about and how you want to compare it to other companies. Imagine Whole Foods sells an apple for $.70 that it bought for $.60 and paid a shipping company $.05 to ship it to them, and Instacart delivers that apple, with the customer paying them $.75. Whole Foods will count that as $.70 of topline revenue; the shipping company will count it as $.05 of topline revenue. You can see Instacart as being like Whole Foods, for $.75 of topline revenue. Or you can see that as Instacart being like the shipper, for $.05 of topline revenue. Neither of these is the objective truth; you have to judge which is more reflective of Instacart's future potential, whether their business is more like a seller or a shipper.

A manager's perspective:

Safety can also mean avoiding / swerving / reversing.

I've had motorcycle lessons, one factor in those things is that their braking power is less than that of a car (less wheels, less stability, etc), so besides the emergency stop, you also learn how to do an emergency swerve - using the motorcycle's superior agility to avoid an accident. Just an anecdote. In this case, damage would've been avoided if the car had a horn and/or was more visible and/or had backed up and/or the truck had sensors.

It's funny, because I actually had this happen exactly once. I had ordered an iPhone 3G for delivery on the first day of its availiability. I was out of the house and rushing back to meet the UPS guy, but missed him. Very disappointed, I called UPS and they said "ok, he will swing back around in 15 minutes, does that work?" I remember being astonished, because as you point out, this never happens. I chalked it up to Apple putting pressure on UPS to deliver all the phones that day. Maybe even providing monetary rewards if over x% of the phones were delivered that day?

I was with you until recently. Don't like it, don't use it. I log in once a month. Never felt strongly about FB one way or another.

But lately, I flipped. I think responsibility needs to correlate to some extent with power, to be useful. FB have power now, big power. They are not some site, they're a core social and political institution of society.

In some circles, FB's just a very common way to conduct part of your social life. In that context, complaining about FB is like complaining about your local town square. It's noisy and filthy and making our social time suck. I consider this an appropriate complaint, considering what FB is and does.

"Go start your own social network" is a red herring. It's like saying "if you don't like this country, leave". At least, I consider these similar.

On the news point, I consider this a seperate point and a bigger deal. This is what flipped me. FB is the world's most important news outlet. I think this is undeniable in 2017. They have tremendous power (and responsibility) in this role. News/journalism is an institution of democracy and political life generally. FB decide who sees what news, and this is a huge deal. If they peddle crap quality news, the overall quality of journalism in society deteriorates. The quality of news (taken as a whole, including the news bubbles and everything else) on FB is terrible. It's a valid complaint and we should be louder about it.

>working horn but a driver who never presses it?

Driver needs to have the ability to press it. More correct analogy is driver with some physical defect that renders him incapable of pressing the horn, which would be illegal. They ask you to press horn in drivers exam .
The owner of the vehicle of course like anything else.
They may then in turn be able to sue the manufacturer for selling them something unfit for purpose.
> The difference is, though, that the human driver is always capable of pressing it, and you have no way of proving that they certifiably never do in any situation.

Why should that make a difference though? Imagine e.g. a truck backed into a car when the (human) driver didn't press the horn. Is the car driver liable? Whether the driver might have pressed the horn under other circumstances doesn't seem like it has any bearing on that question. We're judged on what we did, not what we might have done - shouldn't it be the same for the software?
