Your entire argument is based off cherry picking historic examples where the majority is wrong.

>My point is that once again, you are now in a position where a minority of people believe that some ideas are truly evil and not worthy of any merit. You are sympathetic towards these ideas, or unsympathetic to their opponents (just as many who disapproved of Jim Crow laws but thought MLK was too radical)- so I hope you can at least realize that statistically speaking, you're in a position where it has traditionally been very difficult for people to determine right from wrong.

So what are you suggesting here? Should we automatically crown the minority's opinion as the "right one" because they challenge the status quo being accepted by society? Yes, you have examples of Jim Crow and MLK, does that mean every time someone writes off an idea his argument is automatically as valid as MLK's and his opponents are automatically the KKK?

> so I hope you can at least realize that statistically speaking, you're in a position where it has traditionally been very difficult for people to determine right from wrong.

My point is that it doesn't matter whether we can determine right from wrong. I can't do that easily, and neither can you. So let all sides debate and engage with each other and make history judge the outcome. You do not get to jump through this step.

Remember, Fascism and Communism rose to power by being the "progressive minority" at first and claimed morale high ground against their oppositions and shut down all forms of public debate soon after.

If you think the majority is bad at judging good from bad, what makes you think the minority is better in this case?

Dr. King's speech started with "I have a dream", not "I'm right and you are wrong and is not even worth my time to debate". Unfortunately, Social Justice Warriors today are no MLK.
It's "Active Record" style ORMs like Hibernate that are the culprit, and the way many developers utilize them to avoid any contact with the realities of RDBMs which leads to data access antipatterns which lead to poor performance (multiple needless queries per request etc.).

Another thing people need to really give up on is the pipe dream of switching databases -- you're not going to do it. I've never seen one single case of people actually utilizing ORM to actually change RDBMs they store data in.

Not all ORMs are like that and the best solutions are the ones like Knex/Objecion where an ORM (Objection in this case) is nice abstraction for single-object access/writing and underlying SQL builder (Knex) is fully exposed and used for everything else.
What do you like better?
I suspect Ferris's move is secretly more to do with house prices and cost of living. Unless you are actively working in the valley there's no reason to be there because you can cut your living expenses significantly if your work is location independent anyway. I suspect Tim is on the proud side of admitting this.
Yes, it definitely takes time. You're right, it requires that you "change how you think". From my experience, the easiest way to do this is to surround yourself with people who have traits you admire. They'll rub off on you!
so, i think #3 is less useful for switching out the actual DB server itself in an ongoing project, but i’ve found it immensely useful in a couple of ways:

- replaced the DB driver mid way through a project to a slower, but more complete implementation. this went flawlessly, because it’s all so generic and in the end the same DB under the hood, so a simple change (unless you don’t use an ORM where i could see it being a nightmare)

- started a new project where i had to use MSSQL, which I’d never used before, but i’m a big fan of postgres/sqlalchemy. other than ODBC oddities, it was really simple to write the new app with all the same patterns i was used to with things like update on write, lazy joins, constraint deferral, and i think most importantly would be MIGRATIONS! huge help to have the same migration framework that i was used to

His "stupid decision" shows a complete lack of judgement. I would never trust anyone with my life if they are capable of doing something as absurd as this.
Interesting take. I interpret "against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties" as saying that the penalties are explicitly extrajudicial (exile or censure of some kind, presumably). I'm totally open to the possibility that I'm wrong though!
The city does a lot of things I don't really care about and doesn't directly affect me. Is it fair to use my tax money to provide library services when I haven't stepped foot in a library in decades? If the library was completely supported by people that use it, that would be awesome.

Was listening to a talk on the radio while driving home today by a couple of psychologists/college professors, Southwick and Charney, and it was specifically about resilience but has some applicability to this topic - and they had suggestions for judging your quality of life and how to improve it, and how to make you or your children more prepared for challenges in life. Found the website about it and they recorded it in 2013:

> Traits: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Stability, Openness

Obviously these traits can change. Although for extraversion it is questionable (extraversion is not a merit, it's more like a gender kind of a "trait"), development of agreeableness, conscientiousness, stability and openness is what defines a character maturity of adult/adolescent person.
There are several such tools, which are specialized and thus tend to perform a better job than orms (who try to do everything)

But I would recommend writing, reviewing and deploying migrations by hand, esp for critical parts of the schema (automatic tools are almost guaranteed to get something wrong, with locking etc)
The OP is talking about extreme views like racism (or in their case hating trans people).

You are talking about listening to Democrat opinions.

Very very different thing.

I am quite happy to be friends with people with different political opinions or who vote for another party.

I am also happy to know who is spouting racist, sexist or crazy drivel. This allows me personally to avoid them.

Others may choose to engage with the extremists I choose not to waste my time. This is a matter for individual free will.

NB once again listening to Democrat/republican media when you are voting for the other party is just normal and has nothing to do with choosing not to associate with e.g Klansman.
Interesting insight. I wrote my concern while living in Denmark as well.

About 10 years ago, I read a paper from an Institute of Transportation in Australia about the use of low power microwave transmitters along the lanes of the highway which can "guide" the intelligent cars along the highways and also the idea of a car mesh that can communicate learning( as in I found a pot hole here that wasn't in our map, be careful!)
That sounds a very practical approach of course with the government investment on roads. After all, it is the government's charter to build public infrastructure! The car companies need to work with public policy and not try to make something within their bounds.
I think it’s quote extraordinary the way opinions are currently imposed at large scale by mob rule, enabled by social media and other technology that made this much more feasible. It’s tech that is used to identify, research, shame, coercing corporations into punishing, and as a tool for spreading the word on the action to any other that might hold that opinion.

In the past, as far as I know, the only way to do this was to impose through the judicial process because of limits in organizational capability.

Those are good points too, but it's so much more complex than that.

(Un)fortunately there are things that are written down in standards, like the LED blinking behavior, that the manufacturers can not change if they want to legally sell the devices.

You can get a smoke alarm with 10 year battery life to reduce the likelihood of this happening. When all are purchased in one batch, you can then pretty much replace them all at once -- if first battery goes, next ones are soon to follow.

I got some unconventional looking ones from Jalo Helsinki [1] for my house. They work well and look good. However, I know some people working at Jalo, so my opinion is biased. There are several other long battery-life smoke alarms on the market from different manufacturers to choose from.

But that's a completely orthogonal problem — the point made (way) above is that you need to understand SQL whether or not you use an ORM.
I've owned two WRXes (05 and 07) and stock, they do have quite a lot of bass. :-P I usually take the train to work every morning, so thankfully I haven't triggered a neighbors car alarm. Yet considering the sound that comes out of the stock muffler, I can see how this happens.
Hopefully they lose anyway if it's that unpopular.
I think I follow. My understanding of your point is that in the past due to limited tools for organization and communication, this level of mass public shaming or mob-based response wouldn't have been feasible. Is that a fair characterization?

If so, while it's true that the scale was more limited, there are certainly ample examples of extrajudicial responses for unpopular ideas and actions, from simple social ostracizing, up to getting tarred and feathered (which happened to British loyalists during the American Revolution).

Many of the comments here seem to miss the context of Ferriss's quote, possibly it wasn't clear in the business insider article.

Ferriss indicated he doesn't want to be involved particularly in startups anymore, negating that advantage of living in SV, he was NOT claiming that Austin is a good or better place for startups.

As for close-minded, I believe he is saying something very similar to what Sam Altman wrote in a recent essay; just so everyone knows what to disagree/agree with.

I, a New Yorker, have zero opinion on either place.
That doesn't make it relevant or a substantial point in this thread. You could pick any link to make any point that way. Moreover your GP comment was baity to the point of trolling, so please just don't do this on HN.

Most ORMs have way too write raw SQL. Furthermore someone using an ORM well will understand how their queries are mapping to SQL.

Your scenario happens with people that either don't know or don't care. They will write crappy queries with any tool.

Democracy is not dead. But you're hundred percent right about Billionaires. Think Tanks are all 100% biased depending on who is funding what. Whether it's a company or a billionaire. Economists, professors, public figures, Historians, everyone is being paid.

The one tool we can wield in this information or rather misinformation age is critical thinking. I no longer follow any pundit. I have nowhere near their knowledge in their respective fields, but I can think and ponder whether their views make sense. Robert Reich, Krugman, Brooks, Shields, Shapiro or whomever. See what slant they are coming from, try to understand if they make sense. Immediately afterwards, read about the same topic from someone on the opposite side of the spectrum. Don't get lost in the doomsday world is ending, other side is evil BS. Then hold an opinion, but don't stick to it. Allow it to be malleable and change and try arguing from the other side constantly. I feel like our own ego is partly what let's us join each tribe of thought and we further reinforce it from reading similar viewpoints because we want to be good and right. Sounds simple, but it's so easy to get caught up in it without taking a step back and just thinking about that thought process.

So, that's how you keep democracy alive. Not through simple education where you reiterate facts, memorize or follow directions, but through improving critical thinking which is slowly worsening in college and high schools. In a conversation with a classmate, we reminisced how in 3rd grade we learned how to spot bias in news articles, practicing for months. I feel like that's disappeared too.

> To not waste the 24W on the 12V I will probably use the DC/DC converter in the pictures and go from 12V to 5V for efficiency reasons...

The more common converters "burn" the voltage difference times ampere. So 14W will be emitted as heat by the converter, a matching heatsink would be somewhat important.

Instead of 24W wasted it is now 14W wasted. I am not sure if this is worth the effort.
It isn't more efficiently. Command economies don't work. A monopoly has no reason to innovate.

It's gone downhill since they built the 360 Parkway bridge. /s (it's something different for everybody). I think when I left they started building a Walmart on 2244 at the end near Bee Cave and there was one subdivision between Austin and Bee Cave besides the Barton Creek intersection, and I assume by now the entire road is lined with either subdivisions or businesses now.
Yes, that is my point. Technology acts as a large amplifier to extend reach and increase effectiveness.

Previously you could at best expect to impose on a relatively small geographic area around you, and it was much harder to organize and needed a majority to agree with the action. It seems like the mobs, like before, are comprised of a minority while the quiet majority is trying to avoid the crosshairs.

Unfortunately that quiet majority voted Trump when no one was looking. In the same way as belittling your partner rarely leads to anything good, doing the same at scale in a democracy does the same.

Most of the value contributing to millionaire net worth is going to be in 401ks and home equity, neither of which you could reasonably access to pay a $500 expense.

It would be pretty weird to have <$500 in checking at the same time as 5-6 figures in retirement + home equity, but possible. It helps that 401k is a payroll deduction and there's really no bargaining with yourself on whether to pay the mortgage this month (whereas it's easy to splurge instead of saving extra cash).
