You're completely correct! Real life analog communities, light neighborhoods and schools, can force a person to live alongside and deal with a wonderful diversity of people.

However, is it perhaps possible that I may have explicitly considered this kind of purely physical analog community? Maybe that I could have even been thinking explicitly about such examples when commenting that all kinds of communities are echo chambers?

One of the common characteristics of communities is that they enforce norms on the people who are their members. Physical neighborhoods and cities and schools are not different in this way. They are echo chambers too, generally reinforcing a distilled version of regional thinking, and the main lesson they teach tends to be how to bite your tongue.

The big difference between these analog communities and most digital ones is that in the case of the latter, a person can generally search for communities with amenable norms.

You're completely right! Communities of interest are very different from non-optional analog communities. It's just worth considering that despite this major difference, it may not significantly affect their echo chamber nature.
that's a huge presumption on your part. What you're essentially saying is that you know what the internal motivation of Alex Jones is, and that his metaphor is definitely what he actually believes. I don't think even he knows what his internal motivation is, and to suggest that you know he's secretly harbouring these murderous thoughts is ridiculous.

plausible deniability is clear in cases where someone makes an actual argument for something then pulls the "haha I was only trolling" argument, but to say for example to be ready for battle, in the context of politics, should not be immediately taken as a call to start tying the lynching ropes. People use references to war, battle, fighting and so on all the time in the context of political conflict.
Indeed. Google short-cutted this problem by never giving a controlling majority to the shareholders. It's interesting to me that solution seems unique to only a handful of companies.
The easiest way to end up with "servant leaders" is for a worker owned co-op to hire management, as opposed to the neo-feudalist corporate structure to common today.

A "servant leader" who just decides to rule^H^H^H^H manage that way out of their own "enlightened self-interest" is incredibly patronizing to employees.

It's kind of sad, this state that interviewing has become where people spend months to prepare to pass a rather arbitrarily selected coding question that is supposed to tell the company whether they are good enough to go onto an even more intense, rather arbitrary in-person interview. And now you have companies popping up to offer you practice in said problems. It's worse than the SATs. Facebook even now has started having online webinars with an actual Facebook engineer that tells you how to prepare. Whatever happened to just fizzbuzz?

What they mean by that comment is that it doesn't have users in the sense that mysql, SQL Server, etc have.

The documentations says that it works well for websites. For client server, you just need to make an API that handles the interactions with the database.
My introduction to window functions (and the best write-up I’ve seen) was through the SQL Cookbook (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596009762.do). I highly recommend.
In some senses, yes. For example, the original developers got to sign their work -- a way to say "We ourselves have achieved it!"

No software project I've ever worked on let me put my name on it.
I've set up several Hackintosh machines in the past (bare metal / no hypervisor), but lately I've been using QEMU/KVM almost exclusively - specifically through Proxmox (I tried ESXi for a while, but I prefer the flexibility of QEMU/KVM). Most of the details from the linked guide can be adapted for Proxmox fairly easily.

For me, the killer advantage of using a hypervisor is the ability to easily create and restore snapshots. This eliminates the worry of macOS updates making your system unbootable, and allows you to test Kexts and other configuration changes (with any Hackintosh system, you're likely to need some trial and error to get things working after major updates) without fully committing and possibly getting stuck with changes that are difficult to reverse.

It only takes a few (dozen) times booting into single-user mode and trying to revert configuration changes to realize that snapshots are incredibly awesome :)

Hardware compatibility is still important, though it mostly boils down to needing a CPU with VT-x or AMD-V enabled, along with a compatible GPU for pass-through. I've had good luck with NVIDIA GeForce GTX and some older AMD Radeon cards (AMD cards needed a DSDT tweak). Audio over HDMI can be a little tricky, but I've gotten it working with every GPU I've tried. Those challenges are mostly the same whether you use a hypervisor or not.

Performance-wise, it's been pretty comparable to native performance, at least for general every-day use as a home computer for the family (streaming video services, casual gaming, some web/app development, etc).

What the quoted paragraph doesn't show is the hiring process, "servant leaders" will only work if you hired the right candidates and provided initial guidance on expectations. Right candidates for the job at hand is _the_ hardest part.

My current workplace hired junior level developers who came through with very limited coding skill and but talked their way into permanent positions. They quickly hired consultants to "help" them with projects, and settled to become requirement gatherers and use the consultants to code all their stuff.

My point is, if you were to walk in as new manager in your group, kicking butt and firing people, and NOT be a servant leader, might work better.

Disclaimer: Woefully ignorant here in cognitive sciences but the mirror test has always seemed ambiguous to me.

How do they determine that the animal is not just...well apathetic about seeing themselves in a mirror?

For worthless anecdotal example my dog (and per that link dogs don't pass this test at least officially) when she was a puppy did react to the mirror but now never does as an adult.

Why does that not just mean she's...well not particularly vain?

Edit: Just saw the extensive section in your wiki link on "false-negatives"...which is my entire post so...it's a thing after all.
They don't do this as a matter of course, but they do look at the question that was asked various factors surrounding the interview. They certainly can and do throw out interviews that don't generate any signal.

> Working class Americans have lots of skin in the game in the market through 401k's, retirement plans, pensions, traditional investments.

No, they don't, this is a common misunderstanding. Including all 401ks, IRAs, directly-held stock, mutual funds, etc., the bottom 80% of Americans own less than 4% of all equities. The bottom 60% own 0.1% of all equities.[1]

I was under the impression that shareholders can and do file lawsuits against directors and executive leadership. A cursory Google search suggests that this is true.

I'm certainly not suggesting that shareholders can't file lawsuits. Anyone can file lawsuits.

Do you mean lawsuits specifically because companies didn't seek to maximise shareholder value?

A cursory google search also suggests it's not true.

US Supreme Court opinion: “Modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not.”

and so on.

Now, it's true that laws reflect society, and if enough people believe something to be correct for long enough, the law will change. It's certainly true that in recent years we've heard more people, more loudly proclaim, that shareholder value is the whole point and should be the law. We've certainly seen legals cases exploring this. Nonetheless, companies have a number of obligations and responsibilities, and those they hold to their shareholders are but some among many.
I think it depends a lot on the thing involved. If it's just, oh hey, there's a norm of being kind of an asshole, then, fine, maybe it's not ideal, but go with it if that's what you have to do to be effective. (And I think that's the situation we were talking about originally, w/r/t "civility" in language.)

On the other hand, if it's something like "hey we're gassing the jews" or "we're bombing schoolbusses full of children," then hopefully you're doing everything you can to fight against it (though, emperically, most of us will just go along).
> I don't buy the fact that in the Internet age, you have to be some reporter to write against the government policies.

We don't need reporters anymore because we have the internet? :)

I won't engage further. You're free to believe what you want, but here's what I would like to say
- You can interpret the current situation however you want, but others might disagree. And, anyone that disagrees with you or criticizes the govt, isn't necessarily the opposition or the enemy.
- The govt is not a victim of opposition's hate, opposition and press are free to and supposed to criticize the govt, and they always have.
We're talking $1 billion+ in sales per year corporations, per the article, most of which are public. Obviously you are correct that companies need people but I don't see "how on earth" it's invalid to suggest most companies getting $1 billion revenue/yr exist as they are because they received some kind of outside funding. Very few companies are 100% bootstrapped.
I am allowed to read articles at work, it is tangentially part of my job, but independent.co.uk just put me in an awkward situation, and not for the first time.

My boss walked by and made a joke about what I was reading. The physics of carbon is a perfect valid thing for me to read, but what caught his eye was the plethora of sidebar/sponsored content on independent.co.uk. Does every add have to involve sexy models? I've got a blonde schoolgirl pushing something about investments, a redhead with something to tell me about kindles, and a athlete in bathing suit pushing some other clickbait. Sure, this is a work computer and I'm sure the advertising spies know I'm male, but I don't want this crap on my screen at home either.

My mistake: I just tried to highlight one of the sponsored content headlines ... which was actually part of the underlying pic. So I just 'clicked' the redhead with the kindle. My bad. I guess I'll need to cover my screen every time I want to read about graphite.
Rodney Brooks: steps toward super intelligence
I've soured on these sorts of behavioral study generally. They're so rife with statistical problems and publication bias that I think they pretty much amount to throwing darts at the truth, and as a result, whatever opinion you happen to hold about the right way to do $X, you can find a "study" to back you up. For or against pair programming? For or against open offices? For or against Agile? Oh boy, the literature has a study for you! (Or, if you're into nutrition, you can find studies for and against keto! Or for and against eggs! :Eyeroll:)

This kind of nonsense is what I like to call anti-knowledge. It tangles our decision making and it'd be better if it didn't exist at all.

1) As of the Great Depression (approximately), it's understood the Fed's interstate commerce regulatory authority extends to intrastate commerce, on the grounds that the economy of one state impacts the economy of adjacent states---i.e. if Idaho discounts potato sales from Idahoans to Idahoans, and as a result depresses the potato demand from the farms of neighboring states, the Federal government can intervene on what is a completely Idaho-internal policy. It is under this theory that the Fed prohibits certain drugs (even if the drugs were manufactured and sold completely in-state).

2) Given that corporations exist only as a legal construct, I'm pretty certain that the government has a great deal of lattitude in what it can compel corporations to do or refrain from doing. It's worth noting that the US law also treats corporations as people; however, it does so because of the law itself (1 U.S.C. §1); modifications to that law can alter the nature of corporations in US law.
I can't stand the phrase "servant leader". You can have a "good leader" without any other adjectives. The word "servant" is a loaded word in a way.

And, has anyone heard of a "servant" that works just under the "servant leader"? Kind of a meta-slight against any group to be blessed with a "servant leader" instead of just a good one.

Edit: Consider flipping the phrase, "Leader Servant". Now hopefully the silliness and almost meaningless title this really is.

Also, I've heard this used by leadership to justify their abusive behavior as well, so titles mean nothing, actions mean everything.

Sarah Jeong and the Question of “Context”
Companies have always basically been about shareholder value.

History seems to disagree, and given that companies predate shareholders, that's not really surprising. In the early modern era, companies were about a convenient way to group together people engaged in a common business endeavour. [0]

In more modern times, shareholders are one responsibility amongst many. The idea that shareholder value is the number one priority always is new, and it's an idea that has done very well over the last three or four decades.

However, according to some, that consensus is already crumbling [1]. Perhaps we'll see the idea vanish over the next couple of decades.

I usually try to explain this using a sporting analogy, because the people who treat this as a "nerd problem" usually understand and relate to sporting analogies.

Why can't you hit a hole-in-one on every shot on a golf course? You know exactly where the ball is, where the hole is, how far it is, which way the wind is blowing. All you have to do is hit the ball so it goes in the hole. It's definitely possible, there have been hole-in-ones on every green, so why can't you do that for this shot? Are you an incompetent golf player? Are there super-competent golf players who can do this on every shot? Why not? This does not seem difficult to me (but then I've never hit a golf ball in my life). Can you explain why you can't do this, but other people have done it before?
Age has nothing to do with experience or capability. Time on the job usually does indicate some level of skill, but can be misleading.

I have worked with insanely talented devs that introduced more bugs per module than intermediate skilled devs did. At the same time they moved the product forward faster, better and more consistently. So we would support them with some intermediate to senior devs to follow up on their work and to "productize" it. My point being is bugs doesn't always mean incapable, just sometimes people are better at one part of the job than another. Those same devs would never be able to cut it building vital systems or doing maintenance and they shouldn't cause their skills would be misused.

Assuming these people aren't in the misused skills category, the best thing you can do is not to approach it as they are a problem. Instead if person X introduced a new bug say, I'd go to him/her and say can you walk me through your latest fix/code as I am trying to understand your thought process (and how you tested it). Essentially a code review with less formality. The idea is not to be confrontational but to let him/her walk you through it as you ask questions, especially when you get to what you think is the root problem. Doing this either they will get better, you'll learn something or you'll find a way to maybe help the team manage their work product better. At a minimum, after doing this a few times you'll have a solid understanding where the problem is and can help articulate that if needed to those who need to know.

Also, using the above method, you may also find out that they were tasked in a way that was faulty so their assumption was bad. Or they didn't ask enough questions to understand the task for any reason. An easy way to help someone in that situation is to ask detailed questions if they aren't asking them, this way you (or someone on the team) makes sure they have a full understanding.

The asshole way is to say Bob your code sucks and you are introducing a ton of errors making us all look bad, all your code has to be checked by Susy from now on. This may be something that has to be done as part of a performance plan eventually, but it shouldn't be the place anyone starts.

Well yes and no. A wayland compositor has to blit the images of the applications which need to draw themselves into buffers. At least that's my understanding of it. The compositor isn't supposed to draw anything, it just copies things to the frame buffer. I would hope a basic compositor could be done with not too much code.

And I am a firm believer that most of these people do not have the resources or know-how to even begin doing this. Most are living paycheck to paycheck.

And I'm amused at the idea of loosening regulations on financial services industries ever has any effect other than a massive transfer of wealth from the lower classes to the wealthy.
