> it's far more relevant and filtered than email

Huh? More filtered than email? Where in most cases you used to have sieve level server side filters and any kind of filter on the client side (in the real, desktop email clients era)?
The capabilities of email filtering have been diminishing for many years, so I may even believe this is becoming true these days, but it certainly is shocking.
I have been thinking about this a lot too. My solution is more low tech.Humans are designed to live in communities but modern communities are very isolating. My indian friends in America live in a close knit indian community and live next to each other. I've noticed that they don't suffer from same social isolation as other americans do.

My solution is to scale this to everyone, A housing colony with community kitchen and hangout areas. More like a less intense urban co-op. This is probably also a solution to healtcare crisis in america, healthy food + social belonging == well being.

You can see a few tricks in my project here: https://github.com/naasking/Dynamics.NET

You can use static classes to cache information about types. That project caches delegates to perform deep copies, to invoke constructors, to check for deep immutability, and whether a type can contain any cycles. This is all done structurally via reflection, but the results are executed only once and cached in static fields by exploiting runtime types.

The cached delegate trick can be used whenever you need to some efficient dynamic dispatching. I use it here [1] in another project to cache the Dapper methods that would be invoked so I can easily compose smaller queries into larger ones that return very complicated objects.

A more complicated example would be the fastest immutable dictionary available for .NET in my Sasa library [2]. Generic methods and types defined on structs are JITted separately, so the dispatching overhead is low. I exploit this to create a very efficient hash array mapped trie.

> why shouldn't their constitutional rights extend onto that site?

Because their involvement with Twitter is at will, because Twitter is a private institution, and because privacy is scared to our freedom. But mostly perhaps because twitter has not yet been designated a common carrier by the government, which many people are suggesting. I don’t really see twitter as a good fit for that, but then again, I’m not a legal scholar or lawmaker.

I’m slightly biased here, but I think you shouldn’t distinguish non-techies from yourself. Mostly because you’re secure only if they are secure, and in addition you can learn a lot about their issues if you’re using the same products.

Can I ask you what are you using, if anything, and why you’re not ok recommending that? (I’m genuinely interested, I’m working on a pass manager that’s born in a very tech niche and we’re expanding to less tech people.)
Most of the things you mention are considered anti-patterns in OOD nowadays anyway:

- singletons

- getters/setters everywhere (but not in favour of public fields, which just as much introduce tight coupling, but 'tell don't ask' style which allow to localise functionalities prone to change)

- introducing interfaces upfront - it goes against Reused Abstraction Principle or Rule of Three (discover rather than design abstractions, apply interface only when you have at least 3 classes that would adhere to it)

Both OOD and functional programming try to reach loose coupling and composability by different means. All these 'patterns' have usually some more sane general architectural concern standing behind.
It would be interesting to know whether old school procedural approach allows you to achieve all those architectural benefits in large scale applications.

I had no clue what they were talking about on the front page.
That's exactly it, I think. Not long ago when I was still in high school, many of my peers worked incredibly hard to be able to go to college. I'm not sure that many of them knew exactly what they wanted to study while in college, but I know that many of them went away and then came back because it "wasn't for them"; whether that means they were lonely as described in this article, or realized that what they were studying and where was a mistake for them. Either way, last I checked, many of my peers are back at home in familiar territory.

As I'm not a parent, I have no idea how the modern child is raised or how the modern parent is "expected" to raise their kid, but I get the feeling that, on the whole, creativity and exploration aren't encouraged in young children; rather their lives revolve around structured activities where the agenda is decided ahead of time for them. That's a great way to keep kids busy, but I'm not sure if or how it develops their brains and senses of independence... But I have no actual proof of that claim, just anecdotal evidence from seeing my aunt and grandparents raise my younger cousins.

Yep. No problems with dedicated phone number, dedicated im address, dedicated email, etc. Group chats, group discussions, mailing lists, git commit messages, wiki edits, etc - those are the ones that can be very hard to follow, especially if you're involved in many.
Because it explains the mechanics but not the intent. Once you intuit the intent by reading more, you can go back and read the mechanics and get it. But in general, it's hard for readers who have no context to pull intent from mechanics. It also helps to acknowledge up front what's different, rather than first presenting the abstraction for that difference ("bureaus"). Something like: The intent of our project is to remove screens from modern computers. We explore presenting information only through physical printouts, and input only through barcode scanners.

There's an experience I had in undergrad that's always stuck with me.

The computer science department and the careers office jointly brought in some startup founders to talk about founding or joining startups and take questions; it was really quite a good idea. Someone asked about degrees and majors - do you need a Master's, which degrees are 'relevant', and so on. The first few founders hemmed and hawed, said "technical skills from any degree" and "undergrad is enough" and so on.

The last founder didn't play the game. His answer was: "I'm not worried about your name on a sheet of paper. If you're good at what you do, I'll hire you."

Cue nervous laughter from the moderator, and a gentle prompt: "but of course it's worth finishing up school for the people who are already here, those are valuable skills, right?"

Founder: "I guess I was unclear. If you drop out today, I will hire you. I recommend it."

The next year that panel wasn't repeated.

The main problem with this paid content as far as I see it is that I'm not paying $3 per creator per video. That basically means I can watch 3 paid videos per month for the same price I can get a Netflix subscription.

In general I abhor pay-per-content models. A subscription service that gives me access to all the content means I can forget about money when I'm watching stuff instead of trying to do the mental arithmetic to see if a purchase is worth it.

We've already forced people to cut down on their lifestyle choices in multiple markets in order to help them stop killing themselves and others. Smoking. Drunk driving. Trans fats. Seat belt laws.

Driving was the 12th leading cause of death, and 7th in terms of number of years of life lost, in 2011. This is a major health concern in the US. Is it worth it to kill 36,000 people a year so that they can have the "freedom" of a particular "lifestyle"? I'm sure those who own cars can rationalize it, but if we were talking about motorcycles they would probably be banned from public streets within a year.

There's certainly good to come from making existing choices less harmful, but in the face of no better choice, and the choice not getting any better in the perceivable future, removing the choice is often a good idea.

Moreover, this lifestyle choice has not only negative health effects, but actually lowers local economic activity, to say nothing of worsening income inequality, upward mobility, and debt. Even if you brought the cost down by half (which would seem incredibly odd to me, as you basically have only one or two providers of some of the essential parts needed, so why would they not charge the prices that the market already bears for these products? case in point: car prices have never gone down) you still have all the other negative aspects of cars - death, parking, traffic, pollution, inequality, etc. EV only solves one of those things. The rest have zero practical solutions.

You can also look at it this way: the technical progress does not stop just because cars are taken off the road. You can still improve batteries for a variety of uses, the existing tech is still documented and can be brought back, and when self-driving cars are stable, you can look at whether they are even necessary for auto-lifestylers with a well-funded national public transportation system. Certainly they wouldn't be needed in the numbers they are today.
It was actually quite clean, and the environment was extremely stable. The trick is, every commit was "self-contained". Reverting it would go to another previous stable version. Creating a self-contained commit can be done many ways, and rebase is one common tool used to do it. Another is the use of git merge with --squash and a cherry-pick.

That's interesting. Cheap 15% efficient solar panel produces 0.75 kWh per square meter per day in "average US location" [1], whatever that is.

Let's assume average parking space area is 10 square meters (it depends, but it's close [2]) - so that's 7.5 kWh per day.

Average energy consumption of electric cars is 11-16 kWh/100 km [3], let's assume 10 kWh/100 km - that's 75 km range for a day of standing in sun.

That's actually not bad, and should be enough for driving back home from work. Actually, why not just put the solar cells on the car and do away with the batteries (car already has them). It would be less area, but even 20 km of driving for free would be enough for many people.

Hell, I use a car maybe twice a week, usually to drive for less than 10 km. Such a car would basically drive for free for my use case :)

I'm trying to understand their logic here:

```Iodine is good. Therefore adding iodine to something makes something else that is also good.```

Is that right? Why not add iodine to anything other than salt? Iodized pepper, iodized milk, iodized iodine... Why salt?
My wife is trained as a sommelier. In my understanding sommeliers generally figure five glasses to the bottle. (When we're pouring for ourselves, it's four glasses, because then we don't have to fight over who gets the extra glass.)

A bottle is 750 ml, so that's a 150-ml pour (five to the bottle) or 187.5-ml (four to the bottle). As the article says a typical glass holds about 450 ml now.
Sorry again, you're not understanding my point. Git revert is of course used... but i'm not worried about the mechanics of the revert itself.

Not how to do a revert.

But that replacement doesn't need to happen quickly, cars won't get replaced sooner well... than the cars are replaced, which is, about once in 15 years. Even if market share of electric cars in dealerships is 100%. So grid requirements will evolve slowly through about 2050, not overnight - which is hardly faster than its normal renewal rate.

> In many places, like Japan, people get iodine from seafood, seaweed, vegetables grown in iodine-rich soil or animals that eat grass grown in that soil. But even wealthy nations, including the United States and in Europe, still need to supplement that by iodizing salt.

Where did Western people get iodine before it was necessary to add it to salt? Has our soil been so depleted that iodine is no longer present in the vegetables grown in it?

"Another aspect of contemporary screen-based culture is the constant psychic conflict often referred to as the 'Attention Economy'. In just trying to watch one YouTube video, a typical user is confronted with dozens of other appeals to focus somewhere else: comments, ratings, related videos, advertisements, video responses, etc. Because screen-based interaction is premised on temporal immediacy, we are, as users forced into a state of hyper-attention where we must constantly fight against the, largely commercial, attempts to make us look at something else. When we remove the screen (and by necessity, simplify the interface) we introduce a new form of temporality, where the speed of interaction might more accurately reflect our ability to perceive and understand information."

Indeed, but the art component (as in: relevance within the zeitgeist, social commentary, emotional message etc.) of these movements, while subversive, didn't hinge on the express illigality of the act itself.

Grafitti is beautiful vandalism. Paradoxical, controversial, illigal yet defensible, vexing and captivating at the same time. Under the protection of the law, only half of these remain, leaving grafitti with the artistic content of the common tattoo. Illigal, controversial and vexing now replaced with vulgar, crass and stupefying.

Solar roofs are just fancy solar panels. And they wont help it there is no sun.

There are two ways of making sure you still get power when there is no sun for your panels: storing power locally and using the grid. For storage, you can have enough batteries to deal with the day-night cycle, but a week of overcast weather in the winter is likely to be prohibitively expensive. It means that the grid is necessary, and it has to be able to cope with peak load.
