Obviously a person doesn't want to be killed. But most people who posts about killing people online don't actually do it. Of those that do, very few would be detered if they hadn't been allowed to post about it beforehand. So this speech doesn't cause people to be murdered, at best it predicts it.

But then, most hateful speech could predict a later killing. Someone who thinks gays should go to hell might decide to help them along, as it were. The difference between the two things you have quoted, then, is one of degree: saying the second demonstrates more hate than the first, but it is the same brand of hate.
Sprint OEM Android phones had Carrier IQ installed which logged everything. That was years ago too.
I think when a ton of people move into a place you call home all at once, you can't blame people for being upset about their habitat right? Anti-immigration sentiment at the national level is just Trump enforcing our current immigration laws plus some other hateful stuff. SF residents prior to 2012 has seen what they turned into their habitat transform into this overly crowded tech land full with prices for all sorts of goods going up. Once again just playing devil's advocate I feel they have every right to be upset.

Me as the techie and SF native do feel like they are using their oligopoly for selfish personal gain and would love to see more people go out and actually vote on these zoning laws to allow more complexes to be built
I agree. When working on products that have the potential to directly maim or kill people, we should involve domain experts and subject them to rigorous testing.

The consequences were not very bad, at least for the 60s guys.

This is the problem with using the government to enforce any kind of grey aria social issue. We all have different definitions for sexual deviants, or reasonable drug use, etc...

I don't have much familiarity with the blog itself but another post says that the property cost $389k[1].

They claim they could've paid cash for it but chose to get a mortgage - so they don't own it "free and clear". Unless they've ended up paying off the mortgage early. Assuming a 25% down payment that's a $310k mortgage. You'd need annual household income of around $80k to qualify for a mortgage that size, which also seems within the reach of a dual-earning household of white-collar/skilled trades professionals.

A household earning $80k annually could save up the $90k down payment for that property in about 3-4 years, assuming a 40% savings rate. I'll admit it's aggressive and ambitious by most people's standards, but not actually impossible.

Now I don't think it's actually a good idea to buy property worth nearly $400k if your annual household income is $80k but it's not an entirely outlandish idea.

I assume the Frugalwoods had annual income well in excess of $80k before they "retired". Their savings rate is also correspondingly huge - 71% according to the article. A brief skim of some other posts suggests they're going to be renting out their current house + putting the new property to revenue-generating uses. They clearly know how balance sheets work and the numbers make sense for their situation.

Pulling back a bit I think we should acknowledge that the Frugalwoods are people who have optimized the heck out of the very good hand that they were dealt. We should be applauding that rather than trying to pick at their story and point out why it doesn't work for everyone. I might not have Michael Phelps' swimming genes but following his workout routine would probably improve my health, even if I never become an Olympian.

It's obvious that having a higher income makes it easier to frugal your way into early financial independence. The vast majority of high-income households don't take that path even though there's not much stopping them.

That proposition exists as a protection from homeowners being screwed by the government being unfair about the value of their land. Yes I agree many homeowners are paying less taxes than what the land is actually worth, but hey, does property tax really even make sense? This person PURCHASED the land but still has to owe the government taxes even though they own it?

Secondly, it is really important to think of real estate as an investment more than a physical asset. These people got in the market early and their investment is giving them great returns. I think that is fair. They purchased these homes maybe 40 years ago when SF was full of crime and property was worthless. Their "penny stock" or whatever you'd like to call it popped off because tech decided to be in the bay area. I think it is right that they are rewarded greatly for picking a great investment.

The Internet contains information, not education. Even the free academies are not as good as community college.

>I mean, horses to water and all that, and it's a matter of choice.

No, it's not. Claims like "education" should be based on reliable expectations of effects, not "possibilities" that ignore actual human behavior. The Internet has not actually made people more educated, with few exceptions.

Food and shelter are more important than Internet access. Having a house and a steady income in the 1970s is wealthier than sharing an apartment with roommates and working irregularly in the 2010s; we know this because people prefer it, which is the only actual measure of economic anything.
Because we live in a global world. Why would you build a startup to only be capable to NOT work in EU. When building a company and you want to have any dealing with EU companies. And there are a lot of those it just makes sense to adopt the most strict framework and deal with it.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

> My understanding is that was illegal, and people are mad at why Facebook made it that easy to lie and get away with it.

Can you explain how you know specifically why people are mad, that it's not the ability for people to get their hands on this data at all, and not what was done with it, but actually at a nuanced difference in one step (between obtaining the data, and using it for election analytics)? I've read numerous people on HN stating with extreme certainty that they know precisely why people are mad (and why they are not), and how this difference in step 2 makes a comparison between the two situations completely invalid, but I don't follow the logic of either claim at all.

I take issue with prostitution in the US, but not for the moral reasons you’d think; it’s under the guise of free will, when someone shouldn’t have to prostitution themselves out of economic necessity (or in a lot of SugarBaby cases, to pay for college or student loans).

If we’re going to crack down on exploitation of children in the sex industry, when do we expand that to adults who have no other choice? It’s not free will if your only other option is homelessness or to starve.

TL:DR Exploitation must be protected against. Not against sex work in general.
Alternative would be a different track layout. Universal opened Volcano Bay last year with an aqua coaster where it's pretty much impossible for the raft to come up because it, surprise, uses upstops to prevent it from going airborne.

Good points. I think there's a good chance that there will be a changing of the guard at some point.

But social media within a given sphere is a winner take all game. Then the winner in the biggest sphere will try and buy all adjacent social media companies (see Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp). The only hope I see is either 1) somebody has a large enough ego to think they can take on the dominant player (Snapchat/Evan Spiegel), or 2) the government gets some sense and decides that it's not a good idea to let the dominant player buy adjacent companies. So maybe Snapchat wins eventually as their demographic grows older. But then we're in the same position we're in now, just with a different company on top.

At least, that's how things seem like they will play out to me.
Is it? We already have people living in very cold conditions and very hot conditions today...we have insulated housing/air conditioning/clothing...what's going to big the difference 30 years from now?

How to Systematically Improve Your User Retention

> The question is how to solve this problem.

1) Pass a law forbidding it, with severe penalties.

2) Actually enforce that law.
- no local dependencies^
- 'unable to resolve x, arbitrarily picked 1.4.3'
- no lock file
- nuspec file configuration hell
- nuget v2 and v3 feeds arbitrarily going down
- installing a specific nuget version on anything other than windows.

Basically, it 'just works' for simple senarios, its just not very good for anything else.

If you want a comprehensive guide to why its not awesome look at the 'packet' website, they cover the issues quite clearly.

^ you can actually use local dependencies, but its irritating and poorly supported (still uses the global system cache, forcing a cache flush to update).

A u2f key protects you better from phishing, but unfortunately the number of sites that support it is very limited. Luckily it includes google and facebook, so you can harden these two, and use social login where u2f isn't supported.

As for the security key, you should check the support for your devices, ios is generally more problematic (keep in mind that even if you have an android phone, but you have an ipad, you prob need support for ios too).

I will call out hypocrisy wherever I see it, whether you and your ilk laugh or not. It's not OK for either side to do this stuff, yet it is celebrated when the left does it and demonized when the right does it. It's either right or wrong, pick one and stick with it.

The fact that you are "laughing" at an issue this serious simply because it hurts your side, by the way, is one of the reasons that you lost the election.
The diagnosis.

Normality puts bias mainly on the WHAT in "what you're after". The streetlight-effect is about the idea that you think you'll find what you're looking for by looking at the available information.

The concern is: a complex human being with a ton of influences and factors cannot be diagnosed in ways we don't know how to diagnose. So, diagnoses represent the street-lit areas of knowledge, the stuff we understand somewhat. It's possible that the deeper insights come from places that we don't understand well and don't know how to diagnosis (so are like the dark areas where it's harder to find what you're looking for, but where the thing you're looking for might actually be).

The point is: if a diagnosis really is the insight you need, then great. But it's not NECESSARILY. So, it's not true that getting the diagnosis is always worthwhile. There's a cost to spending time getting diagnosed for things and it might be at the expense of not spending time elsewhere. And in SOME cases, the diagnosis doesn't even approach the area where the real issues are.

In short, the street-light-effect says: "if we figure out how to measure something, we can risk ignoring the enormous significance of all the things we don't know how to measure".

The "streetlight effect" isn't about the light it's about the searcher being silly by looking only where things are already lit up even though that's sometimes not where the thing they are looking for is.

While in general safety features can require a competent user, e.g. the brakes in your car, in the case of amusement park rides that allow children that does indeed not make sense.

But... I would argue that this is just evidence of substandard design of the speed control system. There is ample evidence of a history of injuries due to excessive speed.

>The simulation hypothesis is fun, but not what this article is about at all.

I get that. I was answering your question about a specific version of a reality being "real"..

> The input to our senses is real - they originate from outside the mind.

Is there any proof for this?

>The sensory input is simply generated directly by God. But again, if you follow this line of thinking it doesn't actually change anything. Reality is still just as real.

Not sure. Then isn't there a level of reality where God resides?

I have another Idea. The only thing that "exists" is consciousness, which is an entity that is outside the scope of time and space, and hence does not need a realm to exist. It is just there. The whole universe is somehow encoded within this consciousness. Every conscious brain has somehow access to a part of this super consciousness. This ability to access the consciousness in such high detail as possible by the human brain, created a tremendous evolutionary advantage and caused the human beings to emerge as the dominant species in this earth. And also, the sensory input is not "generated" for individual consciousness, but is just a result of the being being inside/part of this universe.

I have equated God = super consciousness. Because that simplifies a lot of stuff and does not create another entity of arbitrary nature (apart from consciousness itself).
> Young people might be able to adapt to new technology quickly, but they also have some of the strongest social pressures to remain on the technology all their friends are at.

I live in SF, having been in the Bay Area for nearly a decade. I like it here and don't feel a desire to move (and I've lived in Texas and Chicago before, so I do know what it's like outside California). I have many friends here, but I don't know if they qualify as "serious roots". Am I "batshit crazy" because I really enjoy the area and want to stay?

Respectfully, I would like to suggest that there can be many valid reasons to choose to live in one area or another. It's fine if you don't like SF, and I think it's great that you like where you live, as Chicago is very nice! I like where I live too.
