I think the sad fact of politics is that demonizing and misunderstanding the other side is quite deliberate and purposeful, and getting at the truth is the least important of concerns.
Most CEOs earn less than the average dentist. When you refer to "some CEO who makes 100m/year", that phrase describes a minuscule fraction of CEOs - it's less than a dozen people, none of whom you're likely to have met, heard of, or shared freeway space with.

For instance, the 2012 Forbes list of highest-paid executives found only ONE CEO earning over 100m - his name was John H Hammergren.

The average CEO in the US makes 164k, which is almost identical to the salary for "Senior Software Engineer" at Google. Including options and benefits, a (senior) Google engineer is almost certainly earning much MORE than most CEOs.

There should be a word for this - is there? It runs like a red thread in all sorts of dubious endeavors in the public sphere.

It seems to be a thing in various continental European regions. I'm most familiar with seeing it done in French. From Wikipedia:

>Capital or small capital Roman numerals are widely used in Romance languages to denote centuries, e.g. the French xviiie siècle[26] and the Spanish siglo XVIII mean "18th century". Slavic languages in and adjacent to Russia similarly favour Roman numerals (XVIII век). On the other hand, in Slavic languages in Central Europe, like most Germanic languages, one writes "18." (with a period) before the local word for "century".
Should be noted Nintendo invented region locking as well (with the NES), although the situation is complicated by the fact that PAL and NTSC consoles required different display hardware and timings, Japan still used NTSC and famicom games still didn't run on North American NESs.

Keep in mind with things like the C64 PAL/NTSC games still ran on the other consoles, just faster/slower than intended.

It bums me out when I see articles and online discussions about democracy in the US (the article mentions both the US and the world) and I CTRL+F "republic," only to find instances of the word "Republican" and zero mentions of the fact that the United States of America is NOT and has never been a "democracy," but rather a federal republic.
A lot of these "adaptations" take the name, the cachet, and a handful of the character names and throw them into a blender.

Like World War Z. The screenwriter perhaps looked at the title of the book for inspiration, but that much could be coincidental based on the movie.

The problem is that a movie's fundamentally different as a storytelling method. You can't give the same insight into a person's mind. You can't reveal things about a character or situation that are intrinsically visual by describing them later on. Film is visual, it needs to show, but it's also not engaging in the same way a game is.

You can give people a taste of surviving in the wilderness, on a far-flung planet, at the bottom of the ocean in a film, but these films are at best a few hours long.

A game can take forty or more hours to complete and you're that much more immersed in the world. To replicate that experience in a two hour movie is impossible.
This has some interesting numbers in it, but I live in a high rent part of the country and these statistics that throw around national averages leave me cold.

In similar conversations you can encounter rhetoric about how we should tax people worth a million dollars. This logic doesn’t consider that a $million for a 40 year old dentist in rural Ohio is very different than for someone who just retired in New York. That’s all they have for the rest of their life.

Financial policy decions need to consider money in terms of cost of living and also age of the people. Especially in a world where pensions are barely a thing now. Going after numbers without context ends up attacking the middle class.

So for instance the $20 an hour would make more sense to Reason if it were restated as a multiple of minimum wage or the poverty line. Because if Ubuntu is concentrated in metropolitan areas that could mean most of their drivers are near the poverty line. Not as incendiary as $3.50/hr but still quite damning.

What a bunch of bull crap. It seems like everyone is very quick to dismiss the idea that some kind of actual attack occurred since that is a provocation that would require a diplomatic or even military response. Meanwhile, you have some lab techs (how do I get that kind of job where I can just experiment all day?) who demonstrated how two different signals can be crossed at the right point to create the sort of potentially painful noise that was experienced and yet everyone still states how fanciful this all is.

With so much money being spent on technology by various intelligence agencies worldwide, why is it such a leap in logic to think that someone has devised a technique for conducting sonic attacks on people? I bet it's even possible to send the signal directly at a target's head and track them while they're in range such that they are the only one experiencing the noise/pain at any given time.
Love doing projects like this, I like the project presented above, I think we'll try it with the next old hen to kick the bucket.

We find the hardest part of homeschooling so far is that a lot of the infrastructure for homeschooling is christian. There might be a market for a startup that caters to scientific-minded people who home-school. It seems to be a growing trend.
I think we can let our emotions get away from us whether we suffer from mental illness or not. Many people exhibit the behavior in the article despite being of perfectly sound mind.
Far right being edgy and rebellious is only the case in a narrow segment of the world that happens to be overrepresented on HN. The right is rebellion for young, affluent, educated white men that attend liberal universities and work in tech. For everyone else being far right is either how things have always been or not in your own best interest.
No offense, but you took my words, turned them into something else, then attacked that argument.

I said, "If you can't fathom the other side and where they're coming from..." meaning, you should "seek first to understand", also known as Habit #5 from Franklin Covey.

> Your line of thinking is very dangerous and not safe, it enables very bad people by making good people assume they are terrible people themselves.

It is always healthy to examine why one is convicted about certain beliefs. Is it rooted in fact, or fear of the unknown? Since you brought up White Nationalism, this is one of my favorite success stories from a man that sought to understand the very people that hated him: https://www.npr.org/2017/08/20/544861933/how-one-man-convinc...

self-congratulatory ring?
Right now I'm about to start my first job after college, and have been struggling for a few months before (by some unrelated reasons). Now I find I don't need trying to be successful for its own sake, I treat it as a journey to find my own value. Instead of fixating on a single, true way to succeed (which often depends on a lot of factors outside your control), I keep multiple scenarios with "true" and "flexible" ending. While I will work for the true ending, ending up at a flexible ending suffices.
In communist countries, hot water was sort of free i.e. the cost was shared. People were having open windows during winter in order to have fresh air and heating in order to have warmth, also heating outside as a by-product :) . Hot water usage went drastically down in building where capitalist rules were introduced and water meters were installed per flat.
Are you sure this sentiment is universal?
They can coexist.
When are we as a society going to clearly point out that psychology and related disciplines are not science, and that young people shouldn’t confuse them with science?
In complicated systems this just leads to literally everyone being unhappy: You get vocal users who's weird combination of settings lead to edge case bugs, leading to devs getting stretched thin playing whack-a-mole and neglecting the needs of base case users.
No, it's been shifting more _liberal_, which is different. The effects of British and American McCarthyism still put Marxist (and also any associated leftist) thought very much out of the mainstream.

You can easily observe this on politicalcompass.org

They analyze voting records, speeches, etc. and use an objective test to score each party leader on where they stand on certain policies.

Here is a general yardstick for you, you might not agree with it, but this is the scale that I tend to use: https://www.politicalcompass.org/images/axeswithnames.gif

As you can see for America:

2004: The candidates are evenly spread around the map (https://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2004)

2016: Almost all of the candidates are on the right-hand side of the map (https://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2016)

One of the problems in US discussions that I've noticed as someone from Europe, is that Americans tend to talk about "leftists" and "rightists" to mean people who are respectively "less authoritarian" and "more authoritarian", regardless on where those people actually stand on matters relating to the left/right divide. I would say this is one of the biggest problems in US politics, as it causes the most misunderstandings when two people enter into a discussion.

As for the UK, you can see here that historically there is and always has been a right-wing bias, which fits with the (more or less) three party system that we have: https://i.imgur.com/yI0QXpL.png

Scenes from D-Day, Then and Now (2014)
The reflexes and attention on the self-driving car are going to be dramatically better; if there is a safe opening, the self driving car will be much better at exploiting it than a human would.

I hope this will overcome the "advantage" that humans gain by exploiting unsafe openings.

I mean, as is, I'm not a particularly aggressive driver; I lose some car-lengths because of that, and personally? I think that's okay.
You have to be careful in how you define “success” and recognize that you cannot achieve it by aiming for it as an abstract goal unto itself. Instead, you have to introspect and work toward your personal values. For an extended discussion, listen to this podcast:

Not a problem. That's not even a niche case and would be easy to train. The simple examples you're coming up with are the 99% situations that are readily trainable and have been. Literally the only thing stopping Waymo from production is the 1%... the situations that are so niche and unique that the Waymo AI hasn't seen them.
>just because a certain configuration of it was used by someone that our circles of friends dislike.

I'm going to stand on the side of this issue and argue it's more than that the configuration of "Make X Y Again" was used by people circles of my friends dislike, it was a rallying call, a point of campaigning, to cause a deliberate division of people at the expense of individuals whose mere presence makes America less than great according to some-on deeply superficial grounds.

But yes, not really relevant to the discussion.

I will ask this though: In what ways is Medium difficult to read? Personally speaking it's one of the easiest sites to read, just curious what that experience is like for other people, clearly it's pronounced enough for someone to make a browser extension. Just wondering.

Edit:
I do hate the amount of clicking that has to go on just to read "Network" responses, however.
Do you know the reasons for their beliefs? Can you articulate them? If not then you are conflating your own beliefs with the standard for rationality. You will also be really ineffective at convincing them they are wrong. Not because they aren't smart enough but because you are unable to communicate effectively to them.
Correction: much easier to maintain irresponsibly. That binary you just downloaded and stuck somewhere some time ago - when was the last time it was updated? What about all of its underlying bundled static libraries? How certain were you ever of their up-to-dateness? Did you ever check what version of zlib it was using?

Distributions attempting to package phantomjs properly had one hell of a time trying to reproduce its builds reliably. Most gave up.

Distribution from author as binaries is a whole bundle of fail from the get-go.
Certainly true as well.
I can guarantee you they wouldn’t notice, and if they did, they wouldn’t care. They aren’t that insecure.

If "sex" is a social construct, and women can do everything men can do, and there are no differences between the sexes, how come women have yet to break the 4' barrier? It's at 4:13 now. Is it because of oppression?
But the brain doesn't work like that. It's a bit like telling someone who's depressed "next time you feel down, just smile!"

I understand what you're getting at, but I don't think it helps.
I like this title as it’s short and sweet. Actually, most threads in HN have negative messages such as this on.

Every single thread. Some new kid makes a small little app and it gets crushed with someone pointing out - usually obvious - short comings or how unnecessary it is. Let’s all be supportive for once.

Not saying OP is not supportive; OP is just communicating their frustration. Just using OP as a conduit to explain the pattern I usually see.

The article makes the point, quite explicitly, that you should not even call a vast conspiracy a “vast conspiracy”. Not because it’s “not PC”, but simply because people on the receiving end of such diatribes have come to associate certain terms with cranks.

You can disregard such advise, and simply launch more and more over-the-top screeches against the MSM trying to silence you. But you’re not going to change any minds.
I've gotten so used to right clicking and removing the offensive parts of websites in ublock origin that I always find it shocking just how bad the web is on a new machine. So many banners, so many subscription lists, so many useless social bars.

It's also kind of silly that I have four different extensions just to shield myself from how bad the web has gotten. I feel like I'm going under red alert every time I want to check my email.
Sheesh, why do we need tools for user-hostile layouts?

There are other languages that operate within the same paradigm, such as J, which do not make use of the specialized symbols and so are somewhat more accessible. /u/Godspiral is a Reddit user who moderates the /r/DailyProgrammer sub, and he occasionally posts solutions to the challenges in J [0].

A few comments:

- Your index page is missing. (I can't see your marketing angle.. so I'm not going to comment on the actual pricing... let me know when you fix it)

- you're following a freemium model, but it's not obvious enough. The first plan on the pricing page should say "FREE". Your index page (which I cant see), should say free signup & no credit card required.

- That's a lot of plans. Compare to Maxmind, they have 3 plans depending on what data you want (Country, City, Insights) + a free trial.

- In the faq, it says I need to email you to update my credit card or change my plan. I guarantee you some user will email you their credit card number. This should all be available from their account without emailing you.
I’m 37 and have recently started a role as head of product.

Although my background is in design, I’ve spent the last 15 years variously doing design, ux and web development. I got into it as the previous person left suddenly and I sort of took over and was doing it a while before it was made official.

Product management is a mix of ux, development and business, so it helps to have an interest and understanding of these things.

For me the biggest change has been going from solving problems to finding and articulating the problems for the team to solve. I’ve had to hold myself back from getting stuck in to finding answers so that I allow the team autonomy and also don’t accidentally short circuit the process.

The LEAN Startup is worth reading, as is Designing Products People Love by Scott Hurff, and The LEAN Product Playbook. Strategise by Roman Pilcher has some good stuff on business strategy and innovation theory. I signed up to a free trial with Safari Books Online and read everything I could in the time. Lynda.com/LinkedIn Learning has some good videos too.
Playing music was how I got myself to do these things. It's a really fresh perspective to hang out with people who don't give a rat's arse about your job, and are better than you at something else.
Are any of these videos below inaccurate?
They show Azov logo as a combination of 3 fascist symbols. (Keep in mind, the mainstream media (CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS, PBS, etc) is very anti-Russian and it's only independent media that uses the word "Neo-NAZI". Mainstream media in the US repeats the press releases of the Republicans and Democrats with little investigation into their claims.)

It's very hard to avoid tech debt if you're under constant and severe deadline pressure. But I don't consider it at all hard to avoid otherwise. To me, avoiding debt can be summarized as not taking shortcuts. This shortcut would save time right now, but you know its a hack that makes an abstraction leak? Don't do it. You know an approach is going to cause problems down the line, but you just can't think of a better way? Again, don't do it. See if something comes to mind later. Wrote and tested a bunch of code that seems to work, but there's an itch in the back of your mind saying you haven't thought the problem all the way through? Don't check it in. One might think this sort of approach is paralyzing or something, but in my experience it's extremely empowering over the lifetime of a software project.
