It's not like the bug was in their allocator, which sounds like nothing more than a free list of small fixed size objects sliced from larger chunks allocated using the system allocator. That's not a complicated thing, and it can have a significant performance impact.
Wow. Um.. I don't think I acted indignant, certainly didn't feel it. "All that matters is that it riles up those you see as morally inferior to yourself. You chose that analogy because you get off on the reaction it gets, plain and simple." Wow, going to stop reading right there. That kind of hate and unsurpassable bad faith doesn't deserve to be read, let alone answered.

Does it? Are you sure this is the case for America? Maybe growth internationally, but I never understood how people in poorer countries are able to be monetized as they are in more developed countries.
Generational self-definition is not the only effect, in my experience.

My early teen does not see the point in FB but spends hours on YT if left to her own devices. It’s not a reaction to her parents - she doesn’t care about that (yet?). She likes the relatable people on YT, and the topics they cover - from Minecraft to TED.
Yes. Aside from events, I also find Facebook groups useful for discourse and networking. I've made great friends from fb groups: startup founders and high level executives who've helped me expand my professional network, recruiters, professors who have now become my mentors, travellers and backpackers whom I get tips from and at one point I've shared a journey with, etc.
Is there actual evidence that such content causes harm, or is this the usual “think of the children” FUD ?

I know it’s a sample size of one, but being exposed to violent & explicit content as a kid doesn’t seem to have ruined my life in any way.

Finally, any kind of “filter” would be ineffective; as kids will still find ways of exchanging such content offline. If anything, making the content forbidden would make it seem more appealing.
OK but then we're not talking about the real world where teenagers are able to access anything on the internet (regardless of filtering), but a hypothetical world where adults have total control over teenagers.

I guess what I'm saying is that the premise is false.
It's not just economic; it's a combination of great expectations and poor results. Millennials have been lied to, nonstop, for their entire lives. They are a resource to be mined, not citizens to be valued as they were always told. Maybe some of them have realized it, but many seem to be just locking up. It's similar to what I saw in people my own age in Japan around 1999-2000. Sure they might be materially more wealthy than e.g. a subsistence farmer, but no one ever told the subsistence farmer that student loans were a sure path to a great career.
Except that the degree itself may not be worth much in practical terms. For example, as a working student (paid computer nerd by day, student by night) I quickly came to the conclusion that much of what I was being taught in the CS program just wasn't going to be useful out in the real world. For example, at one point I was taught the detailed in and outs of two's complement arithmetic, but that's something that I've never used in practice, and I've only even seen it referenced maybe once every decade or so, if that. (See the following link for a very recent drive-by encounter with this stuff: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p090...) Meanwhile, pretty much anything that's been of any real value to me on the job I've taught myself on a just-in-time basis.

As more recent examples, a few years back I took all three of the original free MOOCs from Stanford. In the ML class, Andrew Ng at one point said something like "If you've ever taken calculus then you will recognize this particular equation as being a derivative; otherwise don't worry about it because that's not really important." Later he said something similar about linear algebra and matrix multiplication. And indeed I had taken both calculus and linear algebra back in the day so I recognized what I was looking at, but it just wasn't important within the context of that advanced class.

I also took the Database MOOC, and during that the instructor taught quite a bit of formal database theory. (I forget the proper name for it.) But despite having worked with databases for decades now I've only seen such theory referenced maybe twice, and that just in passing, so it's hardly the "critical, need-to-know" stuff that the instructor insisted that it was.

Meanwhile, in the AI MOOC almost everything taught there was new to me, despite my having taken several AI classes back in the day; so basically zero overlap between then and now. (I did recognize some of the statistical stuff, though, from my statistics class way back when.) But will any of the new stuff ever be of any practical use to me? Probably not. Interesting certainly, but probably not at all practical.
Making Functional Machines in Elm
The days of having multiple implementations does seem to have waned heavily. In large, it seems companies taking ownership of languages destroyed this mindset. Though, I confess I have not made an official study of the topic to back that claim up.

I notice that a lot of your comments are declared as absolute truths, often applying to large demographics, without much to back those claims up.

It feels like you've got strong opinions (that's perfectly okay!) and think your view of the world is shared by many / most other people (this, not so much).
That's exactly what the US does to folks (e.g. Putin's friends) when they do stupid, I'm surprised that no nations have considered doing the same with Donald and his friends/family.

"Beijing granted Ivanka trademarks, Qatar invested in one of Jared’s office towers, and Ukraine, with Slavic candor, simply wired half a million dollars to the President’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen."

From the Maclean's article in the top comment.
Too bad you're being downvoted, despite the chorus of anger over the Trump tariff actions, what we have is not free trade by any stretch of the imagination and it is long over due for some course correction.
In regards to your conclusion, I'm not sure this is really entirely true.

While Japan is a disaster right now, their situation (by my understanding) was made massively worse through bad economic choices when their economy first started slowing down.

Germany and South Korea are two examples of extremely robust economies that have had terrifically low birth rates for a long time now, Germany has had fairly high levels of immigration, but South Korea certainly hasn't.

There's also the fact that countries like the US and the UK don't have particularly bad population pyramids but are still strangling the youth to some extent, it's more a political problem than a fundamental outcome of low birthrates and welfare states.
Sure, if it’s important enough to you. But it probably shouldn’t be important enough to you. It’s generally best in life to detach oneself from things out of one’s control such as politics. [party you think is evil] probably isn’t much different from [party you think is ok], you’ve most likely been brainwashed to think it’s a big deal.
> Could also use tariffs to try and hit the states that voted for Trump the hardest

"The European Union will hit back at the heart of the United States, slapping tariffs on products like Harley-Davidsons, Kentucky bourbon and bluejeans, if President Trump goes ahead with a plan to place tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, the president of the bloc’s executive arm vowed on Friday."

The talent pool in professional sports is actually a closed market that runs on the rules of the market operators (i.e. the MLB/NFL league administration). The capitalism/socialism comparisons are easy but wrong.

True natural monopolies are exceedingly rare and usually short-lived — most monopolies created by government[0]. What we observe with startups and venture capital is no exception: the Fed's continuous monetary expansion policy has driven more money into more volatile investments as investors try to achieve 'escape velocity' on their returns, and success has a natural compounding effect.

The problem isn't the computers, it's the people. You put HR-bots on the task of listing the job, and they don't know Atom from Adam, so they list all sorts of silly requirements like 15 years of SAP experience, 15 years of Ruby on Rails, 15 years of COBOL, and all for a $20/hr entry position, or a list of certifications that no human could ever accumulate. Then what happens is applicants start keyword spamming their resumes just to get noticed, and now as a technical person I get a stack of resumes that are absolute trash.

Two years ago I was hiring for a sysadmin. My HR department put my requirements up on Indeed. I got 70 resumes that passed their screening. Of those 70 I found 5 that I wanted to interview, 3 that showed up, and none were hirable. I left a company several months ago, couldn't deal with the management anymore, and the past few months of job searching have been excruciating.

We need more technical people screening resumes and comparing to actual job requirements.
> Likewise, these hedge funds offer the ultimate opportunity to make a change that is good for investors at the expense of employees.

That is true with or without hedge funds. Investors will always take actions that benefit themselves, no matter the cost to employees. Employees will always only benefit when that is a by-product of the investors benefiting.

Protecting employees is something that is important, but preventing hedge funds from buying companies is not how you protect them.

This is why we must eradicate proprietary software from our general purpose computers, because computers are the single most powerful weapon we have for freedom and self-improvement.

I understand what you're getting at with the fallacy (lets call it 'winning by not fighting'), but I don't think it applies here. There is too much difference between ending your life and choosing not to create another. Also related is the difference between not having children (logical end: no more humans) and having one child fewer than you would under better circumstances (logical end: decrease in population until circumstances improve).

That said, I'm biased because I don't want any kids right now. If I had one, suicide would probably follow anyway.

Kim’s position is that the city isn’t currently driving a hard enough bargain - that restrictions should be tightened to allow even less construction than the status quo.

No one is proposing public funding on a level that would build the hundreds of thousands of homes needed. It’s not a choice between a public and free-market solution. It’s a choice between setting a different goal for the regulatory climate (maximize units vs. preserve small-town character) and implementing token feel-good measures that help a couple thousand people at most.
Nice to meet you too! It's a pity that so many people insist on taking extremist positions then pigeon-holing everyone into one of them. I just got called equivalent to a climate change denier, that's how pervasive the tribalism is.
Thanks for the feedback on the AMH language. We are always trying to find the best way to simplify the science. In regards to AMH, great question! AMH is known by the clinical community as the best marker for ovarian reserve. I know everyone doesn't have access to peer reviewed journals so here are a few quotes: Podfigurna et al 2017: "AMH level is recognized to be the one of the most reliable markers of ovarian reserve [60–65]. AMH is mainly produced by granulosa cells of the pre-antral and small antral follicles and AMH levels decline with age. AMH level, especially in comparison with FSH level, was considered to be very stable across the menstrual cycle, but more recent studies have shown a slight decrease in AMH concentrations in the luteal phase [56,57]. Moreover, unlike other tests of ovarian reserve, such as AFC and FSH, it has sufficient specificity and sensitivity [58]. AMH concentration correlates with age and AFC" // Leader and Baker 2014:"Hundreds of clinical studies confirm that adding serum AMH testing to a complete ovarian assessment provides a powerful tool to help provide better healthcare for women. The benefits of this testing can optimize fertility treatments; help lead to earlier diagnoses of PCOS, POI, POF, and certain autoimmune conditions; provide the opportunity for better planning for procreation and menopause; and allow for better medical decision-making by monitoring ovarian damage from exposures to medical or surgical therapies. Although challenges with variability in AMH results make the provided practical steps a prerequisite for appropriate interpretation of the testing, the clinical benefits of testing more than justify this additional effort." We have a great post on the science behind ovarian reserve testing here: https://modernfertility.com/blog/ovarianreserve/
US was industrializing throughout the 1800's, there are empty/converted factories all up and down the East Coast from these. In New England, it was a lot of textiles, metalworking, shoes, parts, etc. What tariffs protected that growth? To me it seems to be a rising production due to rising demand for those products, as factories/mass production wasn't common prior to 1800.
Are the people you know single or two home owners? I’m talking about multi home owners in the Bay Area (4+) with property in the most expensive cities in the world. That’s a very different social class than a Bay Area home owner.

"I'm curious what ways you would argue Canada has a significantly lower standard of living."

I'm Canadian.

Our GDP/cap is usually lower.

I work in tech, my salary is less than 1/2 what it would be in the US (not just Silicon Valley).

Most goods are more expensive here.

We do have Universal Health care, and generally good schools and Unis, it's generally safer, cops are more low key etc. etc.

It's hard to compare societies, and I think the US could learn a lot from our system, but in most 'individual metrics' Canada is just poorer, economically. (Though I'd hate to be poor in the US.) There's just so, so much more economic activity and points of prosperity in the US sometimes I find it mind-boggling, again, it's a lot of Apples to Oranges admittedly.
Interesting that it's perfectly legal for foreign nations to pressure folks into voting one way or another by punishing them for voting in a particular president (and possibly hurting his/his party's chances of re-election), but it's not if they run ads to try and pursuade voters.

It's almost like indirect election influencing vs direct election influencing (Russia in 2016). Somehow one is bad, but the other isn't.

It should very much be possible. Anecdotally, India has huge number of people who don't eat meat and the vegetarian food is pretty delicious. But perhaps its just because I grew up eating that food.

The problem is probably that innovation in non-meat based food hasn't happened very much in the US. But I do see that changing with Amy's kitchen and all the vegan/veggie restaurants that are springing up.

My personal feeling is that lab grown meat and meat substitutes are probably the best way to get around this rather than moralizing about it, which never works.

Disclaimer: I'm definitely a meat lover, but do try to eat less meat whenever I can.
"As I’ve pointed out before, the President can be successfully engaged, and countries like Ukraine, China, and Qatar have demonstrated this. When they want something from the United States, they skip the State Department, and even the White House staff. Instead of approaching their problem state-to-state, they go state-to-man. These countries focus on what Trump wants on a personal level – to enrich his family. So Beijing granted Ivanka trademarks, Qatar invested in one of Jared’s office towers, and Ukraine, with Slavic candor, simply wired half a million dollars to the President’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen."

From this article: https://www.macleans.ca/opinion/trade-sanctions-against-amer...

Also China's loan for Trumps indonesian project and the rumoured Russian financing/laundering and Trumps positive behaviour toward Russia/Putin.

While possibly coincidence, there certainly seems correlation between countries that are treated favourable and helping Trump family business interests.
Thanks for the reply. It sounds like your argument is "we should minimize the pain in the world" which could make sense when it comes to humans eating animals.

Two counter questions come to mind though:

1. What if you could kill the animals painlessly (e.g. euthanize them) in a way that still left them fit to eat? Would that be okay

2. Would you consider it immoral to feed a dog or cat (and perhaps we should just kill them instead)? The pain that dog will feel from being killed once is probably much less than the combined pain of dying experienced by all the various animals that the dog will eat in it's life. That would minimize pain in the world
Donald Trump is objectively (ranked by presidential historians of all political parties) as the worst president in the 242 year history of the US.

It will be work to get back what we can of what we've lost.
Tariffs can be good for big companies and other special interests in a country, but never for the country as a whole.

So when you ask if they result in "better economic or social outcome", you have to be careful to think about "for who?".
