If we want to set the time for machines instead of people, that would work great... but wait, machines already use UTC.

People could already all be using UTC now. They don't, because it does not meet our human needs for clock time.

> I'd hypothesis that the difficulty for most isn't making friends (meetups or shared interest groups like dancing, knitting, boardgames, kickboxing, group instrument lessons, etc), but in partnerships.

I've mostly seen the opposite. People whose social lives were centered around dating and meeting people through that, who then settled down, and now don't know how to make just "friend" friends.

Would the two have the same root cause? That's an interesting question - many claim that "tech" (in the abstract, or in the specific eg "facebook likes") are responsible for both, but I don't really buy it.

I don't know what historical rate information we have, but there have always been some loners. They have an easier-to-access platform today, does that skew our perception?

> fight for privacy is futile

See I always disagree with these sentiments. Again like everything in America it's about political action.

Problem #1: Not enough people vote.

You can break that down into, I see it, 3 buckets.

1. People are content enough with the way things are going, and trust they will keep going so they don't waste their time, or rely on the "wisdom of the crowd"
2. People are lethargic of the issues happening around them and complacency has fully set in.
3. People are so underwater with responsibilities, debt, and pressure from stagnant wages and rising costs, their primary focus is survival, feeding family, and paying rent.

I am a firm believer that people get the government they deserve. It's not enough to wish a government into existence.

Having said all that, call this a gross oversimplification or whatnot, but I think it comes down to
not enough people feel threatened or inclined to take action by the current privacy situation. That's it. Plenty of people love to talk about it, bikeshed about how things should or should not be, play the contrarian, whatnot, but if there's anything life has taught me: if people really want something, they do it (not saying want thing that thing is a good or bad thing)
I do wish we had the wild and free festivals they had in the 70s and 80s, but that's pretty much impossible now with all the regulations for legal festivals and the fact that organizers are legally responsible for any accidents that happen. An example of this is EDC Los Angeles 2010 where a 15 year old girl died (after sneaking into the festival and taking pills of ecstasy):

http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jun/30/local/la-me-rave-dea...

Lawyers made a case of negligence against the organizers, they had a lengthy trial, the organizers settled with the parents outside of court, and the festival was never held in Los Angeles again. As a result of this tragedy and similar events, tight security is introduced, rules are put into place, and we get sterilized events in an attempt to tame the beast. But where do we draw the line?

Reading this article felt like the typical Coachella-hate circlejerk because it was more about Coachella than any other music festival, but a good point they brought up was the RFID chips on wristbands that allow them to track your location 24/7. Sure it helps with logistics, but it also lets them track you back to your hotel, where you ate for breakfast, what vendor booths you visited, who you were with, etc. This in combination with the required Coachella phone app would allow them to accrue a pretty large amount of personal data.

okay, but could you give some example to back up your judgment? I don't want to read huge long things like this that are bad nor to let "it's bad" comments be enough to sabotage my potential reading of something.
> Also quite surprising that Google even bothered to defend themselves in the first place

Uh, they settled. There was no case defended in court, they cut a deal. That's what this is about. The settlement paid off the named plaintiffs and their attorneys, and gave money to some groups working toward this particular issue as non-profits. And everyone involved thought that was OK.

But the plaintiffs in this suit say that this was inappropriate and the damages should have been paid to those harmed and not to charities that claim to represent their interests. But the challenge itself is not filed on their behalf either.

Fundamentally this is an attack on the privacy groups, and more broadly on the idea of a class action settlement at all. Those are political goals. This is fundamentally a politically motivated suit.

But it's an interesting legal question nonetheless, IMHO.
"Not to mention that they never get dragged into internal company politics or loyalty games."

This hasn't been my experience. Those games can just as easily involve whether or not to renew someone's contract, or whether to terminate it early.

I correlate individualism with having a backbone, which means if you're not happy you go and do something about it. So maybe it's actually the lack of individualism that is the problem?
My relationships revolve around my activities. Football friends, business/programming friends, weight lifting friends, party friends, etc...

The only person that shares the same ideas universally is my wife, and that took a decade to find all the overlap.

I dont think there is anything wrong with individualism, but it makes it so I have many friends, but few close friends.
Hadn't seen that RFC before. We were doing almost exactly that on a large API project a year or so before that RFC was published. Backend guys hated it, front end guys loved it.
I often check the job listings of competitors to see what they are up to, so using this as part of a "what are these companies up to" (patent filings, job listings, various updates) would be good. It's a hard problem because some companies generate a lot of noise (unenlightening press), or some companies are large so have lots to talk about in areas that don't matter to me, but typically most startups generate so little noise that simply sending me 100% of new news, website changes etc would be useful.
It absolutely is the right to speak at any private forum that allows you to do so, AND it is the right to be heard by people who are purposefully choosing to listen.

Yes, if a private forum chooses to not let you speak, you can't force them to accept you. But if they DO choose to let you speak, then you do have that right.

Also, this IS about the government attempting to censor people.

It is the Internet Archives freaking website, that they own!

The point is specifically about parallel vs sequential programs. Legacy C code is sequential, and the C model makes parallel programming very difficult.

I met a guy back in college, a PhD who went to work at Intel, who told me the same thing. In theory, the future of general purpose computing was tons of small cores. In practice, Intel's customers just wanted existing C code to keep running exponentially faster.

He did more than that, but painting a wall, or other manual labor that doesn't require concentration, gives time for deep thinking. I'm sure he didn't mind it.
I agree with what you have said but there's also no denying that the amount of time at formative ages spent on social media and the internet is unquestionably greater than past generations.

I have trouble believing that hasn't contributed to some idiosyncratic issues that weren't seen in other generations (as well as benefits)
As an aside, just grabbed a copy of your book - looks like an interesting read, and I can definitely relate :-P

I think if you force yourself to 'go out' and join activities you enjoy, its easy to meet new people.

The next step is following up with the new people.

My advice- Be okay with failure. Most people will not follow up, but the ones that do are keepers. 9/10 people will let you down, find the 10%.

> Well, chasing money and success as ultimate goals, glorifying individualism, being hell bent on branding oneself and selling it, valuing consumerism, and closing into comfort zones etc., comes with a cost.

No, it's not about a single storm. Do you agree that if that single storm is a classification more violent and part of the set of more frequent (and more violent) storms then it is indicative of climate change?
Having card on file is not a big difference - a lot of sites like Amazon or Yelp record cards, that doesn't mean Amazon sellers or Yelp business are employees on Amazon and Yelp. Ability to choose specific service provider is much more of a difference. But Uber could easily fix it (though it probably would raise some discrimination concerns, for example).

Hong Kong Says Crypto Crime Not Bad
I'm not at all qualified to read this sort of decision, but, it seems to me like if you're clearly an employee of company 2, then you're definitely neither an employee nor an independent contractor of company 1 and this test doesn't even apply.

(I'm not sure if/how this breaks down if company 2 exists solely to provide people to work for company 1 and has no meaningful independent existence, which ... is probably the case for many Uber drivers now, so that's a relevant question.)
Exactly. No matter what, the Earth is round and the sun rises and sets at different times for different locations. We coordinate our schedules with this wherever we are. Moving to a single time everywhere just exchanges one set of annoyances for another. It doesn't fix anything.
