They basically have to.

I get the notion than it doesn't seem fair, that no person is using a $300m share of the state's resources. But math just doesn't back it up.

The US federal budget is somewhere around 4 trillion dollars. A quick google suggests income tax is 47% of federal revenue. The US has a population of about 323 million. Plugging these all together gives me a federal revenue of about $6k per person, per year.

The alternative to it being "fair" to ask a lottery winner for $300m tax, is for it to be "fair" to tax every man, woman and child that $6k per year.

That almost sounds doable, but that's $6k per retiree, $6k per one-year-old. $6k per unemployed or student. There's a lot of people you simply can't get that money from - so it has to come from somewhere else.

It isn't fair, it's reality.

(For the lottery in particular, there's a simple solution. Lottery winnings aren't taxed here, the ticket is. Not only does this mean no $300m tax bill on a $500m win, but it also means all those silly little wins are taxed fairly too.)
Its also a narrow topic subreddit with a specific goal.

That kind of moderation works under those environmental conditions - similar how some drugs work on certain types of body types and fail in others.

Other topics which are broad and have little general boundaries tend to get a lot harder to define.

Classic example would be where does porn stop and art begin?

In forum terms - politics, general opinion topics have more subjective moderation.

---

Overall though, I agree - manual moderation is pretty much the best way to go forward.

I believe the $2999 price is for licensing Zwibbler so you can have it on your own site/app. For example if you had a company that made custom t-shirts, users could create their own designs using Zwibbler on your site.

On the other hand, if you just want to draw some pictures using the Zwibbler demo to put them on your blog, you don't need a license, and it doesn't cost you anything.
> My view increasingly isn't that there are things, but interactions or behaviours. A thing isn't, but is what it does or how it behaves.

The "belief in things" is itself a cognitive simplification we make, probably for the sake of efficiency. To use a programming analogy, toxicity as a concept is a function of at least three arguments - toxic(what, to-what, context) - but we attach it as a label to the first argument and store it there.

Compare e.g. with beauty, itself a function of at least two arguments - beautiful(what, to-whom). But we usually assume to-whom = "human like me", and stick the whole thing as a label on a thing, because 99% of the time, that's the correct thing to do (incidentally, the quote "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is literally a reminder that the concept of beauty is a function of multiple values).

Confusing the "arity" of concepts seems to be the cause of quite a lot of misunderstandings between people.

Its job is to allow the creation of sub-communities that can be moderated in any conceivable way. Most moderators aren't interested in reducing reactionism, they're just interested in reducing whatever they or their community doesn't like.

Hey Andrew, cool product! I appreciate the work you all have put into it. I have a few things that crossed my mind:

If the TOS can be summarized into a shortened version that is understandable and readable, then was the original TOS too long and complicated to begin with?

I wonder if summarizing can really distill that which the TOS covers. I further wonder if someone reads a summarized TOS and then violates a part not covered in the summarized version, then who do they blame?
I disagree. A signifier gets into semiotics, but more explicitly. e.g. the word "push" is a signifier, but a large bar that makes it seem like you can push it is a perceived affordance.

You better name the part of China you visited. Because China is too big to draw a broad conclusion.

When the gov announced their war on pollution, I was very much skeptical and wasn't expecting to see a big improvement in such a short time. Lots articles circulated in wechat were talking about moving to the south and immigrating to foreign countries two years ago, the high of the air pollution. Everyone was complaining. I think the Air pollution was on the verge of becoming a bigger problem that could harm the country stability and the party ruling.

Then, We see the pros of authoritarian government in play, to echo another poster.

From what I have heard, lot of factories got shutdown, or gone through mandated facility upgrades to meet the standard, cities are shamed by publishing the the worst polluted list in the national news. Air pollution became one of the local official KPIs.

Beijing's air quality has dramatically improved this year. There were way more blue sky days than I expected.

Granted, there are bad days like the passed few days in Beijing.

But If the Gov keeps at it, I am hopeful that clean air is coming soon.

> Free speech is also problematic, when taken as 'all speech is equal.'

Free speech is not problematic, as long as everyone has the right to speak and falsehoods can be debunked - there should be no "safe place" for the exchange of ideas, whether they are good or not. Starting by saying that 'free speech' has a problem is a very, very dangerous place to go to.
Ooh! Instabuy.

I have 3 or 4 of these little t60 vintage thinkpads, and they're still the ideal road machine, 10 years later.

You can pick a used one up on eBay for less than $200, then spend another hundred or so dropping in a new keyboard, 8gb memory, and a TB SSD. Then you can stuff it into the bottom of your backpack and sit on it while taking the slow boat up the Mekong.

Whenever I head off somewhere sketchy enough to worry about the safety or smooshability of the $2500 dev machine, I'm on eBay grabbing a new one.

Now I have a new final step in the process.
Make the messages immutable. Then the message passing is blazingly fast. You can argue about whether that’s strictly “shared-nothing” but practically it works.

Ofc, in Rust you can safely send mutable messages and transfer ownership.

This theory has long since met with reality and lost.

I mod - and it turns out that trolls target groups of people.

So for example seeing a bunch of posts targetting women, or minorities, is going to go ahead and affect people who have been abused for being parts of those groups.

Indiscriminate massed assaults are extremely hard for people to deal with - and even if I am not the target I would expect myself to step in, or some authority to step in.

So yes, in a very real way they have power over a large number of people, just the same way you have power over someone weaker or more vulnerable than you.

Thanks for the straightforward answer, and the clarifications too.

Starting at the end, a DSP is definitely what I mean by "application" (the reason I used the word 'application' is to exclude a straightforward 'hello world' copied from the exercise book.)

For example, have you gotten any audio processing application to work ta you've written, or anything like that?

I'm surprised you mention CRUD web apps, as I didn't think Rust was used in that domain much. (i.e. on the server side like php or even Go might be.)

Safety is usually not a design goal for low level APIs. You rather want it to be minimal, functions to be orthogonal, clean abstractions and only promise necessary semantics.

And this might be already the reason. Win32 is geared towards the broad range of developers whereas Unix comes more from systems thinking.
That may or may not be true that they are expecting doomsday of sorts, but there are a lot of conspirologists which predict imminent doom literally for decades, and when it never comes they aren't bothered by it even a little. If that day will never come - and most likely that's exactly what would happen, if history teaches us something - there wouldn't be no other harm done than a bunch of folks wasting a lot of time on the internet talking about stuff. So far mob violence was a rather rare occurrence in political demonstrations, actually - and one that happened lately was mostly driven by antifa. That's pretty much the only movement right now that openly uses mob violence and achieves some political success by it - cancelling speeches, shutting down events, etc. Are there any other examples?

I see a lot of explanations - especially on the left - how expressing certain views is akin to violence. If we had tons of actual violence happening - or clearly imminent to happen - we wouldn't need any speeches about how words are similar to violence. It would be clear to us that there's actual violence and there would be a lot of pointing to it instead. So, I take it as a sign that there's actually not much violence to be pointed at, if we are pointing at words instead.
Trouble begins when you try to define “harmful” content outside the most egregious cases. Politics inevitably creep in. Worse, these days some people think that “words are violence”, that being offended gives them any rights (and thus creates the vicious cycle of being offended by more and more inane things), and that everyone who voted for Trump is a Nazi. How far are you willing to go, as a private company, to please your advertisers? And how far will your user base allow you to go before deserting en masse?

It's not unfortunate; click bait has reached a point where it achieves the opposite of its desired effect. It's getting the treatment it deserves.
In Australia, we intentionally collapsed most of our vocational schools into our public universities a couple of decades ago. I guess that was fairly unique because it was such a conscious decision. Universities in the modern world _are_ in fact vocational schools for many professions. Class sizes and student numbers alone often show this.

And while big companies can train their own workers, many choose to off-load that competency to the universities as well. In Germany, many of the largest export employers have a symbiotic relationship with local (to the factory) Universities. The companies help determine the course structure and syllabus, and in return the graduates are offered good living wage jobs straight out of university with continued training and certification.

Australia is a long way off of the German model, so all I know is what I've read in the Economist and a couple of other publications, but there are certainly murmers of moving to such a model in Australia as well.

"University" just doesn't mean what it used to mean.
There are many remote areas in the South Island that are hard to get to. For example, West coast and particular the Haast area, wasn’t connected to the rest of the country until late 1980s. That is, 130 years after Western people started colonisation here.

Previously the only way to get to these remote areas is via light aircraft and helicopters. “Flying doctor” and nurses weren’t uncommon. (Our midwife used to fly in, deliver a baby and fly back home for tea.)

Public transportation, especially long distance ones, are poor. (Comparing to Switzerland and China.) Dunedin is only 100 miles away from Queenstown but it usually takes us 4:30 to 5:00 to get there by car.

So if you see this news from these perspectives, you’ll see why it’s so cool and why the downsides aren’t that bad at all.

The problem isn't with the universities, it's with the lack of vocational schools with any depth or rigour for intellectually-demanding fields like software engineering.

Sure, my local vocational school does offer a certificate and diploma of software development - a 2/3-semester program which teaches a couple of Java and C# courses and how to use a database. Which is to say, it teaches you the bare minimum you need to know to become the most junior level of applications developer in an enterprise IT department - vastly, vastly underqualified to go into many of the kinds of jobs that expect CS degrees.

The other problem is that, well, I actually liked the theoretical and conceptual side of doing a CS degree, learning from lecturers who were researchers in the field. I, and most of the good software engineers I know, would have regretted just going to a vocational school.

IMHO, there's a third option worth considering. Here in Australia, lawyers start off by obtaining a law degree (a Bachelor of Laws or a Juris Doctor) from a university. However, before they're admitted to practice, they have to obtain a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice - a 6-month course which focuses on the practical skills of being a lawyer.

I don't see why there couldn't be a similar type of program to teach practical software development workplace skills - obviously, not as some kind of mandatory licensing program, but as an optional extra.

Screening Site for Programmers – Hackerrank, Codility, QuodeIt
I have been using Hackerrank tests to screen candidates before calling them for interviews.

I use a month-to-month plan which gives me 15 invites for 300$.

15 is not enough for me & they do not have any other plan except an enterprise plan which is very expensive for my needs.

I was looking at other sites like Codility & QuodeIt.

I want to know if someone has experience with these - how do they differ from hackerrank?

Codility costs half as much as HR & QuodeIt is even cheaper. So I am looking for opinions on these.

While this will be significantly louder than a drone it will also be much lower pitch so might be less irritating to the human ear. Less like a mosquito on steroids! Still far worse than silence of course but perhaps not much worse than road traffic noise unless you are directly under a common flight path?
Thanks!

While this is true, those languages have stuff Rust doesn't as well. Take Ruby, for example: Rust doesn't have method_missing, or eigenclasses, or inheritance. "How do I know which method gets invoked" is much more complex.

Why should we care about developers’ character? The management company is the one you have to live with as a tenant, and workmanship/safety are regulated and inspected. We have little social housing in this country; essentially everything that exists was put there by developer greed. It was okay for capitalism to build your apartment, but not mine?

Standards have only risen over time (at least since WWII). If anything we should want more structures to be recent.
That's why you see "Kolmogorov complexity" being mentioned all around this thread.

The "parsimony", the "simplicity", the unit in which we count entities - is that of Kolmogorov complexity. "A dozen different forces and laws and variables" is significantly simpler, Kolmogorov-wise, than a thinking entity. There is orders of magnitude less things to specify about the former than about the latter for a complete description.

I do think Rust has some inherent learning curve, but I also don't necessarily agree with this framing. Simpler languages aren't always simpler to actually write software in.

> And yet we need to do it

Who are "we"? And what is "it"? Do you just take on yourself the mantle of decider for the whole world who is worthy and who is not? Or how is it determined? Who is worthy to wear that mantle? I don't think any human is.

> I'd claim that this is a problem

Maybe human nature is a "problem". But what you're going to do, replace humanity with better species? Do you have one in mind? Beyond that, I don't see how declaring it "a problem" helps anything, unless there's a fix to this problem. History teaches me that all attempts to create a "new, better human race" didn't just end badly - they ended so awfully terrible that when people point at it, other people get offended that you dare to compare their ideas to that. So, we have to deal with what we have now - and had for millienia. Given what we did with it - well, not ideal, but certainly there have been some improvement.

> it would be great to incentivize the kind that leads to a more stable, more just society

How do you know what leads to more just society? Maybe rants would lead to more just society faster? As for stability, stability is only good when we're at the optimum. Are we?

> I feel we need to try and walk that fine line, if we want to have a society that's better than just random.

Which fine line? Everybody has their own fine line, that's the point. You could maybe find a bunch of people whose fine line is similar to your own, if you don't look too far into the future (and if you do, what you get is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WboggjN_G-4) - but pretending there's some line that's good for everybody is just willful blindness. And out of all possible ways of building a better society, I don't think dismissing people that have different views as something that doesn't matter is the best one to start with.
