I had the great fortune to meet Mark Weiser when I was an intern at PARC in the late 90s. He was an amazing visionary.
And by unattractive, they don't necessarily mean "ugly" but rather geeky, asocial, with niche interests, no fashion sense, little in common with most women, etc

Young men and women in their 20's usually don't have a very good self awareness of their own inherent attractiveness. There's that which Iain M. Banks termed, "the elegance of the newly matured." By that, I mean something which is natural, and of the natural world and natural beauty. That cat over there might have a slightly squished face and a weird toe, but hell, it's still a cat. You don't have to have much in common with women/men. Dress neatly and be well groomed. Genuinely have fun with something and genuinely be yourself. Do socialize, but don't limit yourself by thinking that bros or sociopaths need to rule your life. Do try dancing and see if you genuinely have fun with that. If you do, then know that it's very potent, but you have to be in the moment to let the real magic happen. Actually, that last part applies to everything else as well.

Most 20-somethings, males and females, are too mired in their preconceptions and their contention in the social hierarchy competition to have a full appreciation of their own natural beauty. (And often, each other's.)

Surely they could do an overlay like what channels already put in with their logo, with a couple-pixel discrepancy (an 8x8 pixel shape with only 10% opacity or something) that translates to a user ID. Forums have been doing similar for close to a decade to figure out which user leaks info (we do it on some EVE Online forums).

I suppose the “early on in React’s life” part is relative. The era before Redux, though, was far worse. There were so many flux implementations with very different answers for even the most fundamental questions (like where to put data fetching and side effect code), and none of them developed a community large enough that these answers were sufficiently documented and discoverable.

Competition is good, obviously, and we certainly still have that, but I much prefer this era where there are a relatively small number of competitors in the space, each with (mostly) well-baked answers to common questions and mature and active communities.
If the Republicans dont have a monopoly on anti-science ideas, what is just one anti-science position held by Democrats?
What is "Semiconductor Capital Equipment"? I looked at your link but there didn't seem to be a reference to that term.
I agree with OP mindset but not saying there is an unique answer, just different mindsets. Personally, I enjoyed when thinking in a specific problem, improvement, algorithm, etc could last forever. The point was enjoying the moment and connecting the brain with strong feelings about progress and microachievements. I could rewrite the same app from scratch without feeling exhausted, just for pleasure.

I also think specialization works against this idea. In the early 80s a computer game was a job of a single or few developers: they were moving a few pixels, using limited colors, and with very limited sound capabilities. Now it is very difficult to impress ourselves or others working in small groups. There are exceptions like computer security, demo scenes, etc but the participants are outliers and not the common denominator.

I understand - I usually don't like to have to talk to people either. Since most of our projects are with large companies, we haven't shared pricing, as each one tends to be pretty different. But we've also worked with smaller teams who just want access to the software, and that's fine too. We start at 399/month for those types of projects and that's for unlimited everything for up to 100 people. You might consider playing with TinyCast which is our free, single question prediction market and see if you like it and people participate. If you/they do, that would be a good indication they'd likely do a full blown prediction market. https://tinycast.cultivatelabs.com

The problem with bookmarking is there is no guarantee the page will still exist when you reopen it and tabs are easier to to sort than bookmarks.

> transparency into your own habits

Truth. This is why counting calories works for dieting, too; most people aren't aware of how their perceptions differ from reality. There's a huge difference between "I check HN a couple times a day when I bored" and "wow, Rescuetime says I spent 2 hours and 38 minutes of my workday on HN."
Why the rush to increase the population in a water-poor, earthquake prone region? It seems crazy to me, and “money” seems an insufficient answer. California as a whole seems less than sustainable over the next 50 years, so maybe planning should aim in another direction? Instead of inducing people to live there, build competitors in less seismically unstable regions that have access to fresh water that isn’t just about gone.

I appreciate that every place is subject to some kind of disaster, but massive, regular earthquakes liquefying soil is second only to massive floods for destructive capacity. It’s also true that if for example you live near a Great Lake, you have water. In terms of risk to people and infrastructure, tornadoes are pretty minor compared to earthquakes and drought.
Sure... but do you think it really makes sense to compare today to 1760 or 1860?
Right but that would be my worry. If I die and nobody knows how to get at my assets, that really fucks over my heirs. With traditional financial institutions, the courts know how to figure out how to disburse your money after death.
Tesla releases new video with mystery car, new next-gen Roadster footage
YOu're right, this is indeed a challenge. But the benefit is often they're not getting screwed by bad planning, over promising, etc. Afterall, those are the kinds of decisions that really burn people out. Instead, they finally get a chance to have a say. Also, I'd argue all the information you're talking about that is potentially decreasing morale is already out there, it's just not being officially recognized/aggregated. At least this way, it's surfaced, and management understands what the perception is out there and can address it head on.

Bottom line, these aren't for everyone. One of the first questions I ask when someone expresses interest is what their culture is like and how humble their leadership is. If they're ready for it, prediction market can be transformative. But if they're not, they can fail - and we've surely had plenty of those projects too!
Absolutely. It is a great example of a digital interface to a stubbornly analog world.
Designing Data-Intensive Applications[0] by Martin Kleppmann. There's a previous HN thread about it[1]. Helped me understand a bit more about databases and systems. The book is also very approachable and has the perfect blend of application and theory at a high level that anyone approaching the industry for the first time stands to gain a lot from reading it.

The Architecture of Open Source Applications[2] series is a good one for leaning how to build production applications and you can read it online. The chapter on Scalable Web Architecture[3] is a must-read.

I've lately been thinking about the relative healthiness of my hobby, in which failure could definitely bleed into the rest of my life. I go climbing and mountaineering, where the negative consequences for a mistake can be disastrous. Part of the fun of this hobby is the risk assessment with consequences, so I wonder how it skews with your definition. There are similar edge cases with other potentially dangerous hobbies (racing cars, mountain biking, wingsuiting, boxing, etc) and this also brings up the nature of consequences as a delineator. Where you draw the line is very personal--I also tinker with electronics and, as part of that, have messed around with mains electricity.

Not saying you're wrong, just throwing a wrench into the works because it has been on my mind and I'm curious what the hive mind has to say.
I believe users should have control of their data. I don’t have any issue with the GDPR in that respect, and that’s not what I’ve taken issue with. When you say “no thanks”, that’s a user exercising control over their data, and is an action which necessarily involves no governmental body.

I take issue with this specific stipulation that — even with clear and upfront user consent — a business simply cannot operate in ways that are A) not opposed to the safety or health of their users and B) potentially necessary to succeed in the markets in which they participate.
That’s fine, but it should be made way more obvious what this is and what it isn’t. This goes against expectations.

It's a problem for HN if the threads fill up with disgruntled comments, but it doesn't say much about the world at large, because of sample bias. People are more motivated to comment if they feel strongly about something, especially strongly negatively. Here that means they've self-selected for the quality you're talking about.

Fortunately we're also getting comments from men who enjoy talking to women at work (shock!) and don't have an ideology about it. Those comments take longer to appear because they only emerge as a reaction to the first kind of comment. Why would you bother to post such a thing unless some other comment denied it?

You know what is a huge security loss? Being forced to use your email password to log into your computer. Your stinking email account! The keys to the kingdom these days. Responses from google forum - “google is really good at protecting your account”, “oh just use two factor or yubikey” and other stuff that the average joe is NOT going to do. How many chromebook users out there probably have 4 letter passwords?

Incentivizing people to use crappy passwords for their email and making it harder to use password managers sucks. Saying that it doesn’t matter because Google thinks it is pretty good at protecting my account(because they constantly monitor me) also sucks.

I would much rather run gallium OS on my chromebook.

Many (not all) activists would prefer to block everything than compromise.

And not everyone realizes that some of these (air quote) "activists" are really NIMBYs and are bad-actors, claiming to be really aggressive pro-affordable units but so aggressive that nothing is ever good enough. They claim to want to compromise on things like percentage BMR, and then haggle over that for years, knowing that the ratio BMR they want is economically infeasible so the other side won't go for it, but they get to claim a highground under the guise of "trying to work with the other side" that never reaches a compromise.

Meanwhile, they get what they really wanted: everything blocked and no building at all.

The good will and intent of true activists is actively exploited by NIMBYs to cause "delays" (because delays, such as environmental impact studies and community engagement, which take massive amounts of time, are enshrined in law). NIMBYs can claim to be concerned about a bunch of different things that all result in the same outcome: delays significant enough that nothing gets built for a long enough duration that the end result is indistinguishable from explicitly not building anything.

> It's not proven that " constitutional democracy" is the ideal. The "foundation of modern government" says that a Black person as no rights, but counts as 3/5ths of a person for their master's voting rights.

Great point; I agree that I shouldn't have used the word "ideal", because it's not at all ideal. Constitutional democracy sucks; it's just much better than any alternative. (I think Churchill said that.)
Yeah, automation vs. amplification is a perennial issue, not sure it maps that well to companies.

The difference is control, whether the task is sufficiently predictable and well-understood.
Similar to how much of a task can be hidden behind an API - the specific usage determines acceptable performance metrics.

autocomplete/suggest is a T9/Clippy offspring, the latter by MS, and closer to automation.

BTW: to be fair, when Steve Jobs demoed the iPhone, he used it to prank a cafe for 2000 lattes. Whereas Google pranked a business automatically.
You're still arguing with your imagination. GP did not complain that women aren't attracted. GP complained that because GP is unattractive, GP is destined always to be "creepy", which presumably entails a variety of social difficulties. Why don't you care about those difficulties? I really don't know! Privilege was merely the most charitable explanation. You're free to correct the misunderstanding. What you can't correct are the literal assumptions you typed about "intentions". We can read.

Any ethical person knows that no one is entitled to affection. No one has suggested otherwise.
Has there ever been an online discussion about a productivity method that didn't have someone come along to post the completely useless advice of "What's the big deal? Just do it."?

If you're one of those people who can work at a high-level of productivity on complex knowledge work without getting distracted or interrupted or losing focus constantly, congratulations.

Most people aren't like you.

And your advice is useless to them, at best.

Most people have a hard time with this and it's getting worse [1]. We didn't evolve to do the kind of work we do today [2], and beyond that, people's brains work differently. Many people with ADHD who started taking medication after years of struggling with focus issues describe it like a light switch in their brain. Why is it so hard to believe that it's a spectrum and that many without a diagnosis of ADHD find it harder to focus than you do?

Those of us who struggle with focus and productivity have heard the vapid advice of "just do it" hundreds or thousands of times. Not only is it worthless advice, it's often actively harmful.

Also, not to point fingers, but some of the people with your attitude (not all or even most) aren't actually all that productive and could stand to take a look at some of these methods.

I'm not convinced they are in disagreement, they are both making related observations. A good public debate should feel out points of agreement between participants.

A great way to grow a community is to take any excess resources (proxied by money) and reinvest locally. However, if all the members bank with a multinational bank then the money (hence resources) will probably end up in a city in another country. The community won't grow.

If there was a systemic bias (beyond economies of scale) that favors big banks at the expense of community banks, that might squeeze the life out of small productive communities that the banks view as 'high risk' through a lack of knowledge about their circumstances. That would be a problem, but that issue is not related to this thread.

If the foreign cities are just more productive, then hopefully the community members will be better off because they can import enough to make up for the lack of local infrastructure.
> "liberal" democracy

I see this as a matter of terminology, not meaning. Here's what I know:

I've seen "constitutional democracy" used by experts, though not often enough to say it's a term of art in that field. Certainly I've seen experts say that the basic formula = (democracy) + (constitution that protects minority rights and limits government).

And certainly "liberal democracy" also is used to describe that form of government. Those liberal principles are enshrined in the constitutions; I don't know if that defines "liberal democracy".

> Any dictator can write a constitution and derive authority from it.

That would omit an essential component of the 'formula', democracy.

Sure, but limiting speech in your private forum isn't squashing free speech.

Unless you have effective monopoly control over what constitutes the only viable platform for a particular medium. It's entirely disingenuous to claim that YouTube is now simply a "private forum." What if Amazon declared that black people couldn't sell on their "private" infrastructure. Would that really seem fair?

Not inviting a friend for lunch because of their annoying Taylor Swift obsession is, by that definition, squashing free speech.

No, the proper analogy would be the de-platforming and demonetization of Taylor Swift and her fandom through underhanded and non-transparent means.
Right, but the assertion was "You can't have a city without gas stations, they're just as essential as housing", which is a very, shall we say, suburban view of things.

I have a pet peeve whenever people bring up the old "Billion dollar mistake" quote. Calling it a mistake means that it could have been avoided. But we couldn't have avoided null pointer errors (or some other name for the same thing) any more than humans could have avoided the bronze age. In the 60s and 70s we didn't have the "technology" to avoid null errors. By technology I mean production-ready languages with a static typing layer sophisticated enough to implement a Maybe/Optional type. Those languages weren't production ready until maybe around the 80s. And most of those compilers were themselves implemented in unsafe-null languages like C.

But anyway, that's history, now we have nice languages that have safe nulls, so the interesting questions moving forward are: why are people still creating new languages that have unsafe nulls (looking at you Go), and why are people still choosing to use languages with unsafe nulls?
> we’re going to look back on smart watches the way we do digital watches: as an odd fad that noöne will be able to explain later on

I think you've achieved that rare state of being both right and wrong.

My experience with smart watches: great for showing reminders, glancing at the weather before going out to work/lunch, seeing/feeling messages that I didn't hear on my phone or while I'm standing at the urinal etc, tracking my fitness, controlling the music playing on my headphones or home stereo.

But...these functions will move from the wrist to a different interface that we'll wear. So yes, it'll be a fad if only because the next phase is a non-existent form of wearable computer. It'll be a fad in the same way that a traditional watch is - a set of limited functions that can be migrated to a more advanced multipurpose device.
