When we were kids, my brother got chastised by the police for getting hit by a car while riding his bike 'dangerously' along the non-stopping direction at a 2-way stop.

It's a pretty good way to impress upon a kid that the police are operating on some other end than simply enforcing the law.
Basically, MoviePass' existence means that the current $12 price may not last, whether it be because MoviePass will control so much volume that they'll demand a discount, or because if MoviePass goes belly up, then the users who have been conditioned to "pay less per movie" than the face value will now go to the movies less than pre-MoviePass times.

If the consumer no longer pays $12, or fewer consumers are willing to pay $12, there will be some kind of reckoning higher up the chain between the theaters and the film companies in splitting up the decreased topline revenue.

The money flow for Social Security is taxes -> senior citizens -> Walmart (and other stores) -> suppliers. The money flow for basic income would be similar. How stuff gets produced isn't magic; it's much the same as today's economy.

If the paychecks stop coming and nothing replaces them, consumers stop buying and you get a recession or worse. The key is to keep the money flowing from companies to consumers in some other way. The clever bit with the "Great American Share" idea is that the money gets collected via dividends instead of taxes.
Commute is a pretty big thing. If SV had proper public transportation (which is virtually non-existent) it's be much easier to live a bit further. But I don't think it's feasible - maybe with self-driving cars it would be?

But then, for 90% of tech jobs, you don't do anything that needs you to be physically present in the office anyway. We should just learn to work remotely better.
I had a lot of issues with Sam Altman's post-

* He really doesn't seem to understand the difference between free speech and being free of consequences, and as a result he's in danger of suppressing free speech. He wants people to be able to say controversial things without there being blowback, but the only possible way to accomplish that is by suppressing the free speech of people who disagree. You're either for free speech- which includes the right to criticize ideas- or he's arguing that specific people's speech (the person with the "novel physics idea" for example) are more important than others.

* His example of China, one of the worst human rights violators who has been known for violently suppressing free speech, is just a continuation of that. He's happy because as a privileged person with money China is super excited to hear his ideas, but he's also ignoring the fact that China literally jails and kills people who speak out with ideas that their government doesn't like.

* He completely ignores the damage done by hate speech. Just completely ignores it. If you were to read this blog as is it seems like he thinks people being driven out of companies, schools, education programs, and development communities by bigotry and sexism were never going to contribute or that their losses aren't as important as the ideas being lost to people uncomfortable being called out for bigotry.

* The blog seems to put a higher value on innovation and corporations than it does people.
The whole point is to judge the ideas presented not just attack the person and say "you're a ___ist and I'm going to do everything I can to ruin your life because I feel morally superior"

Labelling everyone who does that "1 MB maximalists" is a little extreme, and is probably why people are irritated with BCH's marketing tactics.

To view your statement in a different light.. maybe people don't care for it trying to succeed based on another coin's name, rather than trying to stand on it's own merits. Bitcoin Gold (for all it's problems) doesn't try to insist it's the real Bitcoin. And 90% of the coins out there were confident enough in their tech to not prefix "Bitcoin" to their name.

The page you link states later:

> In 1971, philosopher John Rawls concludes in A Theory of Justice that a just society must tolerate the intolerant, for otherwise, the society would then itself be intolerant, and thus unjust. However, Rawls also insists, like Popper, that society has a reasonable right of self-preservation that supersedes the principle of tolerance: "While an intolerant sect does not itself have title to complain of intolerance, its freedom should be restricted only when the tolerant sincerely and with reason believe that their own security and that of the institutions of liberty are in danger."

> In a 1997 work, Michael Walzer asked "Should we tolerate the intolerant?" He notes that most minority religious groups who are the beneficiaries of tolerance are themselves intolerant, at least in some respects. In a tolerant regime, such people may learn to tolerate, or at least to behave "as if they possessed this virtue".

> Thomas Jefferson addressed the notion of a tolerant society in his first inaugural speech, concerning those who might destabilise the country and its unity, saying, "...let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it."

I believe we should tolerate the intolerant, for we may get them to change their minds. If we push them away, they won't get any closer to tolerance.

Swagger is a de facto standard for automatically generating JSON descriptions of REST API and for generating UI for invoking/experimenting with REST APIs. Swagger codegen is good but not terrific. Alternatives would be welcome. I recommend layering your code gen over swagger.

I did, in the post. I'm not sure why you are making a big deal about the money I lost. I am certainly not. It is about the mechanism by which it happened and how they didn't take it very seriously.

I don't understand the advantages, could you clarify?

- In what way are RESTyped definitions lighter? A Swagger definition is just a JSON or YAML file and can be used without shipping any additional code (e.g. by https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-js).

- Swagger only requires a build step when the definition is used to generate code. Definitions can be distributed via NPM (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/appveyor-swagger).

Edit: I realized you were talking about RESTyped being lighter/nobuild compared to Swagger Codegen specifically for TypeScript because it is written in TypeScript. Seems reasonable.
I certainly err on the side of agreeing with the thesis that we shouldn't tolerate intolerance, which is Anil's point as well, that said the source material I linked to (wikipedia), gives attention to both the argument and its counterpoints. I do find it interesting and relevant to this conversation that we have both been downvoted for our points.
Let’s be honest: both the original post and this rebuttal are basically long form tweets, not intellectually convincing arguments. They are so vague that you can read almost whatever you want into them
> Speech is the one thing that can equalize rich and poor, and has the ability to evaporate decades of work and reputation.

I feel like this is a bit of a passive way of saying this.

If someone says something, _they said it_. It evaporates their reputation because _they did something_.

And when saying things, it's to communicate the idea to others. I don't really think that speech exists in a vacuum. If you know saying something to somebody could offend them, you're kinda signing up to the criticism.

It feels like a lot of the essay is trying to say "we should listen to other people with controversial opinions." We were doing this in another domain for a while, with sexism.

A lot of us have just nodded and grimaced when our coworkers would make "those comments". When we'd see the berating of female colleagues. Even the words already had such an obvious effect.

I'm not saying "ban bad speech", but I do think as society we should be reinforcing the fact that words _are_ important, especially in this political climate. And that people are responsible for what they say. And... you can always apologize and change! And the world will be better for it.
That may well be true, but those same millennials face higher rents and also higher state taxes (in the Bay, not Seattle obviously). They also missed out on the post-2008 stock market boom that the boomers 401k's got to ride.

do you have the impression that Sama's essay has anything to do with government? why bring up china's government?
I used sonic.net. They advertised (and still do) $40/mo internet, but turned out it's $40 plus phone taxes (they sell only internet+phone, no option to decouple) + equipment rental + other stuff, so first it was $55/mo and then they raised it to $65/mo - 2/3 higher than their advertised price. I switched to other provider as soon as my contract lock-in expired. Oh yes, and they dinged me for another month as a parting gesture, because apparently you can't just cancel with them as with other providers, you have to wait a month to be able to cancel. Nope, thanks, never again. I've heard a lot of horror stories about comcast/at&t, but neither of them tried pull such tricks on me.
> He really doesn't seem to understand the difference between free speech and being free of consequences

This is silly. He's not saying you can't criticize ideas, he's saying don't assume ill-intent.

The examples were clear. If someone wants to extend life, you can't assume they don't care about the environment. If someone wants to send a rocket to Mars, you can't assume they don't care about poverty.

China was used as a counter-example explicitly because of their lack of freedom of speech. The entire point is that when people feel more free to discuss ideas in China than in San Francisco, we have a problem, because China is not an exemplar.
He said that they are literally leaving because people couldn't take arguments against life extension.

I think life extension is great, but I think leaving because people disagree with that is close to the definition of "unable to take it".

The first link is an article from Stanford Medicine on the overwhelming evidence for the evolved biological cognitive differences between men and women, how this shapes their interests and average cognitive strengths. It's not a paper, it's a comprehensive review of the research presented to inform the public. Did you even read it?

> There was too much data pointing to the biological basis of sex-based cognitive differences to ignore, Halpern says. For one thing, the animal-research findings resonated with sex-based differences ascribed to people. These findings continue to accrue. In a study of 34 rhesus monkeys, for example, males strongly preferred toys with wheels over plush toys, whereas females found plush toys likable. It would be tough to argue that the monkeys’ parents bought them sex-typed toys or that simian society encourages its male offspring to play more with trucks. A much more recent study established that boys and girls 9 to 17 months old — an age when children show few if any signs of recognizing either their own or other children’s sex — nonetheless show marked differences in their preference for stereotypically male versus stereotypically female toys...

The second link is about the advantage men have in mechanical reasoning and how it likely contributes to their representation in STEM fields. It's the title of the paper.
Because Sam brought it up in the first paragraph of his essay?

> Earlier this year, I noticed something in China that really surprised me. I realized I felt more comfortable discussing controversial ideas in Beijing than in San Francisco.

It's entirely relevant that stating the wrong 'controversial ideas' in Beijing can get you killed or imprisoned.
It seems weird to turn over responsibility for policing hate speech and intolerance to VCs. They are not public servants by any stretch of the imagination.
I'll concede the rebuttal is literally a long form tweet.
Altman's original essay is about how there is too much criticism of ideas in San Francisco right now. That people are saying things and then having other people mock them, or complain about them, so much that they are going silent.

The reason that his essay sucked was that this isn't about free speech. Free speech protects you from the government restricting you from saying something, and he never once cites anything about an American government[1], it's always complaints from other regular old people. Other people judging you and finding you an asshole[2] is totally consistent with free speech.

If someone says something bad about gay people (or women, or black people, or...), then by all means make them feel bad for saying something like that. Try to make sure that they never say something like that again, because they are so socially embarrassed and isolated. One of the lessons I've learned over the past two years is that people feel emboldened when they hear other people say something bad about some minority, and so if you make a big deal about one person doing it, you prevent other people from even trying to say something similar.

Money has always been able to amplify or suppress speech, even before the supreme court rule that it was speech. Toilets, death, pant legs: these are among the things that equalize the rich and the poor. Speech is not and has never been one of those things.
2 MB blocks (Bitcoin Classic) don't affect decentralization, if you support SegWit. SegWit blocks can be 4 MB, and that is 4 MB of data that has to be transmitted over the wire and stored unless you weaken your security model.

In fact, SegWit negatively affects decentralization because it is much harder to build and maintain your wallet because of all of the complexity of SegWit, pushing people to crowd around existing solutions.
Disagree with Anil.

(Writing this with an expectation of backlash) (irony?)

Everyone expects the judgement of their peers for their controversial opinions, which is one reason why people tend to have like-minded friends (as much as possible). Or at least friends open to a discussion.

The issue is judgements on controversial opinions turn into all-too-public smears on a person's character and that character is conflated with (over-the-top) negativity, which misrepresents the original context (sliding). Naming any such example bears the risk of the same thing happening to yourself (you know what I mean).

Anil is guilty of it himself, calling Sam's position "actually dangerous". When in fact, that labeling is the exact thing Sam is arguing against. Perhaps Sam isn't dangerous, but just opinionated?

TLDR: Controversial opinions lead to ad hominem attacks that use conflation with extremely negative topics to attack even the possibility that the position is debatable.

A MIME type can be spoofed because spoofing doesn't only apply to certifications (e.g. IP spoofing, caller ID spoofing[1], etc.). Spoofing merely means "tricking" or "lying" -- and this can introduce all kinds of complications. There are literally dozens of bugs (in all browsers, not just IE) that exist due to the fact that MIME types can often be misleading[2][3][4].

Neither the community nor the core devs wanted 2x in the first place. That's why the original pre-segwit 2x fork didn't work; then BCH was created as a protest; and then (for some reason) the same group of people tried to push Segwit2x to get 2x into BTC yet again.

The last one (Segwit2X) had it's reference nodes so poorly coded that the mining nodes didn't even manage to mine their first block; due to 3 separate off by one errors that even basic testing would have revealed. Shoddy coding like that is yet another reason why the core devs (and the community) wanted nothing to do with the 2x team. And given how it took them months to fix BCH's difficulty algorithm, I'm not really convinced that they've improved.
