It would help, thank you for that. I was expecting an actual example, which what was my problem with the title. It was more subtle than that so I read the whole thing but kept wanting to know what the damn line was.

The downvotes that I am receiving actually reflects the same conceptual problem that you are outlining in the article. People are nice. They don't call out bullshit early on, and companies end up with nice-but-incompetent that can't deliver quality (but apparently can downvote on HN thinking they are doing right in life following the echo chamber). This doesn't plague many other licensed industries. Either you reach a level to get your license (and lose it if you are incompetent), or won't be doing your professional job at all. There is no "nice" in law, medicine, architecture, etc, where professionalism is concerned.

It's conflicting. Should we be altruistic, promote teaching, but also promote being not nice? Or shall we be selfish, keeping quiet and ensuring our personal job-security because we can fix messes afterward.

Overall, I think your blog is in the right general direction. Best of luck.

I get that you have an axe to grind here, and are going to have at it with a will, but let's not be intentionally obtuse. The act of being the President itself is an existence most people can't really experience. It is inherent in the office. It would be absurd to suggest he immediately resign from the office of representing the people because he instantly is no longer one of the people. It's an inherent issue with representative democracy.

I'm sorry if I've been unkind. That wasn't my intention.

But insinuation? I think I've been very clear and explicit about my criticisms rather than insinuating anything. Is there something about which I can be more transparent that will increase the quality of this and similar discussions?

I also don't mean to condescend, and I can understand from my writings how my tone might be interpreted that way. But what is the right thing to do in these situations? Discussions on HN of security and the political ramifications are dominated by the volume and aggression of this person and s73v3r_ and others of similar style, and it is taking a toll - people who are quiter but more knowledgeable (and to be clear: I'm not saying I'm either of those things) are being shut out. Can't you see it?

It reminds me of far-right AM radio. I don't want to find myself just tuning out of HN entirely, so I'm trying to be a little more proactive.

On the other hand, I certainly don't want to respond to vitriol with vitriol, but I do want to try to find common ground so we can all learn from each other instead of bark about who's right and who's wrong on these minuscule, mundane points.

Again: Although I think I've been quite explicit rather than lean on insinuation, I apologize for portions of my tone. I'm not a mean person; I'm just trying something new in an effort to change the direction of these things.
I did the same last month. I was pressed for a number in the in-person interview. I dropped my inflated public number (which was $30k more than my walkaway), and lo and behold, they offered it to me!

Thanks for putting together this summary of the book "A Philosophy of Loneliness" by Lard Svendsen and adding your reflections on it. Lots to think about there. I especially liked the picture of the person with the guitar by the seashore.

And the David Foster Wallace quote you requoted was insightful: "Lonely people tend, rather, to be lonely because they decline to bear the psychic costs of being around other humans. They are allergic to people. People affect them too strongly."

You write near the end of your review: "The book clarified for me an important point, though: Solitude is something that we actively seek, while Loneliness is something that we try to escape. Apart from that, they are exactly the same thing: being alone (which in turn is something that happens quite often - in fact, humans are "alone" most of the time)."

Given that, what are your thoughts then on the phrase "alone in a crowd"? For example: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-introverts-corne...
"We know loneliness may or may not be related to being alone. Introverts can be perfectly happy alone, or terribly lonely in a crowd. But if introverts are at any particular risk for loneliness, it could be because we set a high bar for friendship. We desire and require deep connections and would rather be lonely alone than in a crowd. But realistically, those deep connections are not easy to find, and if we get caught short and our only choice is superficial socializing or nothing, we can get lonely."

Also, you say the book suggests: "Another of the prevalent journalism theories (internet and social media will result in an increase of individualism and loneliness) seems not to be supported by empirical studies: those who use social media report having a more active social life and more frequent personal interaction with other (outside of social media itself, of course)."

I wonder about that, given the notion of narrowly focused "supernormal stimuli" and how super-fascinating (anti-)social media can potentially displace more holistic human interactions especially over meals. But websites that arrange meetings of people with common interests can counter that trend, so obviously that's not a black and white thing. A related book on that if you are looking for something to summarize next: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernormal_Stimuli
>Prolonging life artificially? Sounds like Einstein had lost his mind at that age. Or did he never get vaccinated, take medication for his ailments, etc?

That's irrelevant, since he got those when he was at a still relatively healthy life.

He (assuming it was Einstein who said it) obviously meant prolong it when it's not worth it anymore (and towards the end), not in general.

And even if wasn't Einstein who said this, many top minds ill at similar stages in their life had said more or less the same.

>You'd think someone running one of the top tech companies in the world or the de-facto expert in physics at his time would have more of an appreciation for modern medical science based treatments.

Just talk to some people of old age (or sometimes even younger) having undergone several "modern medical science based treatments" in some hospital, what they think of the prospect of getting some more...

Not everything is like getting in a hospital for a few days to cut an appendicitis...

Before criticizing this, consider what your responses would be to some procedures that might or might not work, after several previous procedures, with chronic pain, various systems failing left and right, not being able to see, walk, etc as good anymore etc...
Anecdotal note (I'm in my early twenties)

What personally amazes me is how many people treat their social profiles with the same rigor and attention as a large PR conglomerate. Everything photo took dozens of takes, every post rewritten to maximize the number of keywords. Personal Branding has taken the 'social' out of social media a la Black Mirror (nosedive).
You’re applying it in a non-rigorous way. Like I said, it might work, but it’s not a valid explanation of why it works.
Sure, he has access to money—-no argument there—-and his life will always be comfortable.

On the other hand, how can you say that he’s not shunning riches, or at least their trappings? They live in Plains, Georgia. Their big Sunday dinner is casserole and one Solo cup of “bargain Chardonnay” with the neighbors. They turned down living quarters in favor of a pull-out couch in their office. It’s not at all the stereotypical lifestyle of someone with millions in the bank. Hell, parts of it make my lifestyle (academic scientist) seem opulent—-we at least have IKEA wineglasses!
Unless the job is something that literally anyone could do I’d be very hesitant to accept an offer without an on-site interview or two.

> You can ask for whatever you want in your next interview. It's nobody's business how much you made in the past.

That's only true in California. For the rest of us, it's perfectly normal to be asked how much we currently make. It may not happen at the beginning, but after your first counter-offer, they will almost always ask where you're at now, and then say something like, "that's quite an increase from where you're currently at. How do you justify that?"
> clearly you just don't like Go, which is fine.

Well at least you're not trying to defend the indefensible, even if you refuse to be honest about it.

> When I wrote python we were constantly using pip to pull from repos, so moving to Go I liked their repository centric view.

That is a rather peculiar situation, I believe in the 15 years I've been using Python I've had one dependency (and a rather outdated one at that) I had to pull from a repository.

> Just because python recommends pip, doesn't mean junior devs don't totally botch dependency management with it. Dep management and git are core skills developers need to learn well to produce good software.

I obviously agree with that complete platitude, the question is whether you think people learn better and are more likely to do so if you trick them and lay down traps for them. And whether you think your amusement is worth some out entirely.

> software is hard and being good at it means taking the time to learn some core tools.

And how is making those core tools harder to use and more likely to be misuse conducive to that?
I couldn’t agree more. I just wanted to also add that this is something that you have to always keep in mind for every growing org, not just new ones. I’ve seen situations where Management has decided to pursue new product directions by hiring a whole new team, but without looping in their existing tech teams. It unfortunately had the same expected result.

I was asked once (and in a 15 year career, only once) in an interview "How much do you need, and how much do you want?".

This question was almost devastating to my otherwise composed and in-the-moment mindset because it was so shockingly frank and signaled a sense of authenticity coming directly from the owner I had never seen before interviewing for tech jobs. I gave them both. He in turn gave me something in the middle, but much closer to the 'want' than I expected. What was more unexpected was how quickly I gave him numbers-they weren't just random numbers, it was a range that I had decided for myself would be the moonshot salary and "thanks but I'll pass" salary floor.

It was definitely a first being asked such a critical question in such a tactical way-I appreciated it for what it was.

That job lasted for four years until acquisition. We all walked away happy with the accomplishments made, that owner and I are still great friends to this day.
By not going in to a business that requires development unless you are one, or know one.

I wouldn't assume I could start a restaurant or run a medical practice, why do so many people with no technical background assume that they can start a business centering around software?

>In simplest terms psychopaths are people who do not "get" the particularity of human relationships.

Well now, I'm pretty sure you can't use this as a definition for psychopathy, as many other types of disorders fit this definition.

In my comment I was thinking of the definition given by this article, and the list of traits it provides.

So going by that definition I have to disagree with your argument: "...that people might think is a big deal but is really not and eventually will just be sort of normalized."

If someone checks all the boxes from the points raised in this article I would really hope that that sort of behavior never gets normalized because these traits are the exact opposite of what people should strive for in their lives.

I'm a daily user of Mastadon. But... People were saying this on newsgroups and gopher, then on message boards, then about Friendster and all of the social platforms that followed. If the platform becomes popular enough to reach some sort of critical mass, then that mass will drag along all of the Facebook/Twitter/Instagram stardom with it. Some people actually like their celebrities and they expect to see those celebrities on their platform of choice. And, inevitably, the marketers will follow.
Property rights haven't stopped airports near residential housing, loud music or all those software developers moving into the neighborhood.

There is nothing to suggest that with treating water like property we wouldn't also end up at the same kind of tradeoffs, pollution legal limits or "allowances" where some ill defined external influence infringes on your similarly ill defined property rights.
Before the EU and Schengen etc. we (Dutch people) could officially be asked for our passports at the Belgium border. In practice you didn't really notice crossing the border while driving on the highway. No checks, no cops, no customs. Only the roads got worse. (this is a ancient joke between Dutchies and Belgians).

Same applied to (then) West Germany. No border controls really. Now, East Germany (where coincidentally I live now) was a whole different story.

And this is why commercial social networks tend to be so much more user friendly. They actually put effort into acquiring me as a user, because they can then monetize my eyeballs.
And one of the main reasons Canada wants a border with the US is that gun control policies between our countries are widely different. But EU countries also have widely different immigration and gun control policies, yet somehow they managed to form a union. I am sure these are not irreconcilable differences.

I missed a "not" on the first quote there.

I believe they are related because it is harder for people to develop trust in government if the good intentions of government workers and the governmental system in general is not apparent.

Conversely it is difficult to have a large pool of well intentioned potential governmental employees if a large portion of citizens have been brought up to think that the government is evil. These citizens are much more likely to try to exploit government positions than to treat them with the responsibility for the people that they require.

I’m so curious about the state of mind it takes to acknowledge you need to hire expertise, while simultaneously seeing your own need as being a favour to someone else.

It feels resentful, I can’t imagine a bigger red flag than someone who resents having to hire. They’re basically saying they would never even consider approaching you if they had a choice.

You’ll never get a respectful deal out of that, never mind a healthy work culture.

There’s nothing pathological about simply seeking and obtaining social acceptance online, if that’s what you’re saying, and social acceptance is part of the self-worth equation, according to the article.

Needing people to like you has little to do with acting for the common good. It’s literally about what you can get rather than what you can give. The first think to do if you want to truly focus on others’ well-being is to stop caring what anyone has to say about who you are and what you do. Living authentically is going to make some people confused or uncomfortable. A lot of people are super judgmental and are looking for validation of their own tastes and choices.

This case hinges on three facts. First, displaying housing ads that exclude protected classes is illegal. Second is that Facebook built tools that allowed advertisers to create said illegal ads. Finally, Facebook had no oversight process to reject potentially illegal ads. The fact that Facebook created tools that allowed advertisers to effectively cause Facebook to break the law in an automated fashion isn't really much of a defense.
