I don't have kids but alot of the people I work with in my tech startup do and they seem to commonly speak (as if this is common knowledge amongst techy/modern parents) about no screen time.

They have no screen time and start this at a very young age so it is not questioned later. Anything with a bright screen is not allowed during certain times of the day.

The most interesting feedback I heard over lunch at work was this: That kids do better with no screen time (complain/argue/fight less) when their parents ALSO abide by no screen time.

If you tell your kid no screen time but sit on the couch perusing your iphone all night but don't want your kids playing games on their ipad, what are you teaching them? Furthermore this example was used by a dad with an 18month yr old girl. He says she is very entranced as any child would be by a bright screen. It's very mysterious and alluring of course. While she has not screen time she is very interested in the bright lights coming from his screen, so now during no screen time he also puts his iphone away.

So my advice is implement no screen time as a standard habit in the house, and also try to abide by it yourself. So maybe the best way to prepare for kids its to start by training yourself to have no screen time. (just an idea, I don't have kids what do I know).
"Those who look/think like themselves" has much more going than just sex/race. An individual choosing another board seat will likely a preference for people who went to the same Ivy League schools, who have the same wealthy family backgrounds, and, most important, share the same concept of how they want to run the business.

Making a law forcing a woman to be on the board won't eliminate those preferences, it will just mean that they'll choose a woman from a well-connected family who went to HBS and would be willing to support the voting positions of whomever is appointing them. You haven't changed the voting behavior too much, just the sex/racial makeup of it.

If the goal is to change how businesses behave, we would want people from entirely different fields. That is, we'd want representation from differing perspectives in the company -- perhaps from engineering or from labor.

In Germany, for instance, there is an expectation that the labor union has representation on the board [0], which would do much more for the people working in the company than having a female version of the male boardroom exec.

> I have the feeling that apart from lobbying USA loves to hate taxes.

Of course we do! Opposition to taxes is LITERALLY the creation myth of the United States.

"No taxation without representation!" -- and we certainly weren't looking for representation.
>I'm annoyed that there is no simple system for the IRS to tell me what I owe, and let me pay or dispute.

How weird is it that this is not the norm? In Sweden, this is exactly the way it works. You get a piece of paper every year saying "according to what your employer and other instances have reported, here's what we think you owe". You can dispute it, but best of all: if you have nothing to dispute, you can OK it cryptographically (look up "bank-id"), or even OK it via SMS, by sending a pre-generated code given to you on paper. If you do, you get your payout (if any) just a month or two later.
This is very neat! I hope I can make use of this :)

Furby was recently discussed in the middle third of this Radiolab episode:

https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/more-or-less-human

If you turn a Furby upside down, it will start saying that it's scared after a bit. So they do an experiment where they ask kids to hold a barbie doll, a Furby, and a hamster upside down to see how long the kid will hold the item upside down before the kid becomes uncomfortable and turns it right side up.

The show goes on to interview the guy who designed Furby (Caleb Chung). He defends the Furby as being alive. He then talks about a dinosaur toy he designed (Pleo) that a review site posted a video of the reviewers beating up the dinosaur till it stops functioning[0]. That left him very uncomfortable. He's now working on designing an animatronic baby doll and is cognizant about how to design it so that it discourages (or at least won't encourage) any type of sociopathic behavior.

This part starts 20 minutes in and is 20 minutes long. The first third of the episode is about the Turing test. The last third of the episode talks about using VR to allow someone to put themselves in another person's body.

I enjoyed the whole episode. Radiolab doesn't publish transcripts, so you'll need to make an hour to listen.

I'm not a physicist, but my understanding is that exotic matter isn't strictly required. They say that because what's needed is a sort of negative energy/mass to cause an anti-gravity effect. But even that isn't accurate. What's really required is a lower energy density than a vacuum. This can be achieved in some cases, for example, in the casimir effect. When you look at it that way, it opens up some possibility, that we could achieve this in some sort if fashion, at least on a small scale, right?

Can someone more knowledgeable than me weigh in on this?

Really appreciate the advice. Especially the reminder that remote jobs get more candidates. I've had a couple local interviews so far, but none with a remote job.

Part of the step down is the allure of having a happier work/life balance. But that could well be a case of the grass being greener on the other side. It's good to have encouraging support to stick with a lateral move...
F-Droid is also vulnerable to signing key compromise. All apps in F-Droid are signed by F-Droid keys. Ifwhen those are compromised, you could be backdoored. (Play Store apps are signed by each individual developer’s keys.)

> Inuit and Quicken subsequently lobbied to end those programs and even bar the IRS from running similar programs...

Is this true or an urban legend?
I agree and I accept the system for what it is.

I graduated college from a small unknown historically black college (HBCU) in the mid 90s, the few people that graduated in Computer Science went on to work at small companies using antiquated mainframes either in the private sector or government contracts.

The only reason I got out was because the year before I graduated I got an internship with a company in the major metropolitan city where I still live with a company that partnered with HBCUs across the state.

When I graduated, because of help from my parents, I was able to take a low paying job that I was overqualified for as a computer operator just to get back to the city.

Another anecdote is that anytime I was able to get someone from my alma mater a job. I did. I got two Black women (really underrepresented in tech) that graduated from the same college a year after I did a job at the same place. That was thier stepping stone. That goes on everywhere you recommend people you know.

I have a younger relative who was thinking about going to the same school I went to for computer science. I recommended to
him and his mother for him to just go there for two years and transfer to a school in my city - it really didn’t matter which one. Just get into the best state school up here he could. Not for the curriculum but for the exposure and networking opportunities.

I don't want to quibble over terminology. Inductive reasoning is wrong. Mistaken. Bogus. Intellectually bankrupt. Utterly without redeeming value of any kind. As likely to lead to correct conclusions as reading Tarot cards (which is to say, the probability is higher than 0, but not by a wide enough margin to have any utility).

Actually, the correct temporal link would not be with elections but with choices you make to use publicly funded roads, breathe clean air due to public funded regulations, etc.

That's the temporal connection that needs to be made.

The idea that there is a whole host of politicians who want to increase taxes is ludicrous. No one campaigns on the basis of increasing taxes. Further, in most of the West, taxes have dropped dramatically over the past few decades. Most politicians campaign on (1) reducing taxes or (2) providing some benefits. The dishonest politicians campaigning on #2 are teh ones who claim you can increase benefits without increasing taxes (which is occasionally true but rarely). It's only the honest politicians campaigning on #2 who add that the benefit will indeed have to be paid for by higher taxes.

The politicians increasing taxes are the good guys because they're the only ones at least thinking about paying for benefits.

You should definitely give it a try in a shop. My partner was for many years using MacBooks, but when he compared the new rMBP keyboard to the latest X1C, the difference is so clear for the ThinkPad that now we have again one Windows computer in the house.

I think the modern ThinkPad keyboards are nice, but when I got myself the T25 I have to say it has the pinnacle of laptop keyboards. I really wish they'd release a laptop with the classic keyboard every couple of years; it'll be very hard for me to replace this. The feel of the keys is nice and soft, there's lots of key travel, it's very hard to write typos and the PgUp/PgDwn keys are in a perfect location.

There was an interesting Planet Money episode about this [0].

Apparently the lobbying by Intuit is actually fairly minor compared to the opposition by Republicans. Some group of Republican legislators came together and agreed to oppose all tax increases, and also agreed to oppose many types of tax simplification. The thinking being that the more painful filing your taxes is, the more people will have a negative perception of taxes in general and be opposed to tax increases.

> I still use the google bang over 80% of the time, but hopefully that goes down over time

I've been using DDG since ~2011 and have found myself using the google bang more today than years ago. Maybe my searches today are harder for DDG? For sure though, DDG has changed. It used to respect weirder search terms much more than Google which made it more appealing to me as a programmer, but now it over zealously corrects keywords, and completely common keywords get left out. Doesn't seem to care as much about keyword order/distance in the results either. It's like they amped the fuzziness beyond what is helpful. I'm proactively quoting half of my search terms today.

> google maps, truly a superior product

I tried a few times to switch to Apple maps over the last 3 years and each time was disappointed. But about a month ago I tried again and have decided that they are really neck and neck. I don't know if it got better but my partner uses Google still and we compare options and sometimes Apple finds something better sometimes Google does but for the most part they get the same results. Some traffic data exists, including construction/accidents (I have no idea how). You lose streetview and I think the dependence on Yelp is annoying but makes sense. After using it consistently for a month I find the UI/UX is actually a lot better too. It has quirks but so does Google Maps. All that said, it's only getting better and the network effect will help! Give it another try!
> Not without developing an explanatory theory you can't.

This is absolutely false as a matter of historical fact; the theory always follows a period of trial-and-error in which you learn how to hit the target by raw experimentation. There's a pretty simple reason for this, which is that the trial-and-error approach is easy to execute.

> Read Deutsch.

Any reason I should do this? "Read Deutsch" isn't exactly a compelling argument against the idea that theories derive their authority from a track record of success, as opposed to something more non-inductive such as divine ordination.
Wouldn't it be useful if they gave you a filled version of the return forms? Then it would be easy to check for discrepancies between the IRS and CPA forms, and you'd easily be able to tell if either of them forgot something. If both independently arrived at the same result, you could be very sure you got it right.
Looking forward to reading both links tonight after work!

> It's really weird being so excited on the one hand and so rueful on the other. This is so cool but I wasted so much time!

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole struggle to create a Python implementation was necessary to get a clear enough picture of how it all comes together, which is why it then was so easy to re-implement it in a much fewer lines of code. That is how learning how to program works in my experience, at least. So don't be too hard on yourself there.

For me, 'good IT infrastructure' isnt for reliability (though that's important!), but got good digital products. I want an iPhone app for my bank that's made my actual humans that know how to make apps.

I agree that may be a factor in more controversial issues where siding with lobbyists doesn't come at the cost of alienating a huge majority of your constituents. This seems different.

Almost everyone (from what I understand) agrees, so it's a pretty clear case where we should be able to call out those lawmakers and say "you're obviously only doing this for the money/job security - you can't even pretend to be against it on principle."

Well, I guess it depends on how you work and the type of work you do.

When I worked as a translator (I had an episode translating books from English to Polish) I would more or less write the final version of the text and there would be very few edits. The plan for the text was set by the original so my job was basically to figure out the way to express it in Polish.

On the other hand, when I started writing my own texts I would spend much more time editing. I would write passages that I wanted to include, but then I would move them around a lot so that they make more sense for the reader, for example.

The same with programming. When I know very well what I am building there would be very few edits. I would start bottom up writing modules and tools and abstractions that I know I will need later and build on it. A website would be a good example. It is not a rocket science. Once you design your UI, processes, it is fairly straightforward to translate it to code.

Again, if I work on something very tricky, there is A LOT of edits. My other project is an embedded controller for an espresso machine. I am building this controller from scratch, meaning I design the board, then I receive PCB from manufacturer, then place and solder all components. The code is for ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller which I am getting to know. I would say most of the code was edited many, many times over because of many iterations I need to get stuff working and then to refactor it to integrate with the structure of the application.

I think regardless of if paper or digital is used, we need an anonymous verification method. i.e. I can confirm that my vote was cast and tallied for X candidate. And if you got your whole community together, you could prove there are no injected or altered votes.

The receipt of a vote could be a UUID that you can then use later to verify your vote, for instance.
