That all plays out, but I think there is more. For example, in school, you're not competing with anyone. You and everyone else are like brothers in arms, struggling to get through the same challenges. At work, you compete with your colleagues. You compete for the jobs, the roles, the positions.

When you struggle through challenges with others, like in school, that's already a great way to relate and bond. When you compete with others like at work, you can't be close, you need to play smart, don't goof around, be serious, present yourself to others always with your strongest and smartest stance.

Then you mention parties, ya you can go to a party as an adult, though they're rarer. That said, you have less incentive. A lot of parties in college are motivated by people looking for romance. Love and attraction plays a huge role in bonding. Ya, even for friendships.

I guess it goes to ask, what are the ingredients to a deep relationship? For me, it has always involved being vulnerable, showing my true colors, being goofy, trying things, failing, struggling, making a breakthrough, succumbing to my desires, being playful, etc.

If you manage to do all that with someone else, and grow comfortable, and feel safe. That will be a deep and meaningful relationship.

Grown up work life seems conductive to none of those things.

I highly doubt that was the intent. You have to look no further than Shays' Rebellion.
> House price problems are down to landlords being able to earn a living by doing nothing other than owning land.

Only 21% of the UK rents. I rented for ages because houses were too expensive to buy. Then I inherited some money from my grandmother and was finally able to buy the fourth cheapest flat in the set of all in every town, city, or village within 45 minutes cycling distance of work. This was only a few years ago, and I moved out because of Brexit and became a landlord myself because the alternative was selling and I still don’t think I understand enough German to know what my responsibilities would be as a property owner here in Germany.

Rents are exactly what the market bears. Charge a million a month and nobody rents your place, charge a hundred a month and you fire your estate agent. House prices follow rather than lead rental rates: follow, because if it’s cheaper to rent then people are less interested in buying (and vice versa); not lead, because rental rates are always and solely
about maximising revenue and therefore influenced only about what the competition charges, not how much the assets are “worth”. Build more houses, get more competition, rent and prices both go down.

On the other hand, speculative house purchases and people who buy with the expectation of selling for more, they did raise house prices; indeed, that’s pretty much what “speculative bubble” means.

If you absolutely must approach this with a false-equivalence (or "fake-balance") mindset, the WSJ and NYT are two much better sources, and have a better claim of being equidistant from something approaching a political center (CNN, at least when I used to watch it, was nowhere near as insane as FOX at the time).

I you don't have much time, just read the NYT. It's the pinnacle of journalistic integrity, and, despite repeat assertion to the opposite, they are better today than they have ever been.

5x increase is an outlier no matter how you look at it.

5 years ago salaries in SF for an SWE were already around 150k base at least, won't you agree?

So if GP was typical, you'd expect the a average base to be around $750k now.

Obviously it's not.

Overall SF is higher than most places, but maybe 25% higher. Not 2x higher, let alone 5x higher.

It strikes me that, if we are ever to expand the Internet into space on a universal scale (a la Vint Cerf and "delay tolerant networking", as an example), the inherent physics problems involved with distances and connectivity in space would probably make decentralization an absolute requirement. I mean, it seems it would not be uncommon for there to be a "local net" and a "universal peer-to-peer or mesh network net".

We're obviously a long way off from colonizing space and needing the Internet to spread, but we still have the physics problems here on Earth.

I'm not convinced that centralization in its current iteration (cloud operators controlling huge infrastructures) is the best long run. As we saw with the recent Azure outage in South Central US, even the huge infrastructure can have problems too.

Secure decentralization has seemed like a panacea for a long time - for all things that resemble a public utility. Even things like the power grid.
So what? You can just move again. The ability to put down roots as long as your job holds is better than no ability to put down roots at all.
I'm gonna give the answer you don't wanna hear, and that is incredibly unpopular on HN and really any left of center arena.

Israel has not forgotten the humanity of the palestinians(1). It has not striped them of their human rights(2) and it has not passed laws that "could affect minorities."(3)

(1) Israel takes great care to protect all human life in any conflict and tries especially hard not remove the dignity of or prejudge people who are bent on murdering its people. When rockets are being launched from hospitals and "army" headquarters are in the backrooms of pre-nurseries innocent civilians and children will be caught in the crossfire, whether it's mortar misfires or drone counter attacks. Anyone asking about the imbalance in death counts is really just a dog whistle for "why don't more jews die". When you have an entire city refusing to give up the names of the people responsible for the stabbing and cold blooded murder of a 1 year baby in it's crib (along with the rest of the family) or the kidnapping and murder of 3 teenagers, it may appear like the Israelis don't care about those whose house they are turning upside down but in reality they could just raze the city in a matter of minutes like Assad does in Syria, or SA reacts in Yemen. the fact is that Israel does its utmost to avoid loss of life while being stabbed from behind by Hamas and being led-on by the PLO who do not want peace and are doing everything to destabilize the region at every turn.

(2) The laws here are not so clear cut, but at the very least Israel is not responsible to give people living in what is essentially another country free access to its own services, if that means 3 hour long lines because a visa process has been proven ineffective at preventing terrorist attacks then so be it. I'm not really sure if you have anything specific in mind here but until you can show how Israel is stripping people of human rights I don't know what else I can say.

(3) This law is no different from many laws that exist across the European and Asian continents. If you would like to argue that all those laws are racist, I wouldn't agree with you, but by singling out Israel for special scrutiny and failing to mention them on a discussion that in fact is about the rise of racism in European countries, you do appear to be guilty of at least some anti-semitic sentiment.

I'm not arguing that Israel is faultless but the way you've tried to frame the argument appears at least ignorant or else decidedly malicious.
From the article:

"...when your information went to a third party and when the government went to a third party, the existing privacy Supreme Court precedent was that your privacy interest was essentially zero," Kavanaugh said Friday"

This is a perfect example of the problem. The fact is that this metadata is collected without our knowledge, or is out of our control to limit its collection.

Just because a third party has metadata (obtained however, whereever and whenever), does not really give someone else (eg any government body or other private organisation) the right to claim that our privacy is null and void.

There is something fantastically wrong about the way internet economies operate. In the same way so many other sub-economies panhandle, in exchange for absolutely nothing.
May be a bit philosophical but I feel real decentralization can only be achieved if it’s created by not human. Like air , no one controls it and its free to breathe. Blockchain started this way to be totally decentralized but as we know if someone gets control of the 51% of the mines then its game over.
What's the use you see for the distinction? In practicality?
That's what we thought last year.
Malicious lies can very, very, very quickly turn into innocent falsehoods spread by the ignorant and credulous. Which is perhaps closely related to the fact that more large-scale evil is done through obedience to authority than through malice itself. For every psychotic true-believer Nazi or Communist, there were thousands of ordinary people, just like you and me, who didn't want to rock the boat, let other people serve as their conscience, and quietly did as they were told.
>I think there is a natural system of balance found in a true free market.

This is not borne out by the examples we've seen thus far of deregulated markets. It's important to distinguish between a free market and a deregulated market, as pundits often conflate the two so regularly.

The benefits you state, a system aligned with "the psyche and desire of the people" does not, in fact, naturally emerge from deregulated markets. Every entity participating in a market would benefit by being the only participant in that market, so they do things like externalize costs, acquire competitors and leverage network effects to grow their share of that market.

Once that state is achieved, the people hoping to have their various desires met by various participants in the market will have but a single option.

A deregulated market devolves into central control.
You'd be surprised. It's definitely being sold on as an opiate to addicts in UK prisons, both from being smuggled in (small, easily concealed, innocuous looking pills) and diversion from maintenance scripts (although I would have thought in a prison environment they would simply stand over you and wait until you swallow, or force you to drink a glass of water, since unlike someone on a treatment program voluntarily there are no issues about personal liberty etc. From what I've heard, the 8mg tablets are crushed into powder, divided into eighths and sold as 1mg doses for snorting (maybe injecting, but works in prison are pretty dodgy...)

Interestingly, although the treatment center I'm with offers both Methadone and Subutex/Suboxone I was never actually given the choice between the two, or informed of the pros and cons of either. I asked, and basically I was put on Methadone treatment because I happened to mention it in one of my admission interviews. No idea if this is policy driven due to pricing or something else?

Actually, I suspect it may just be a lack of training due to low funding levels, poor compensation for staff which leads to high turnover and lower quality. Thanks, NHS.
Stop saying 'commit suicide', urge celebrities and campaigners
This isn't a rigorous scientific forum.

Definition of "cure":

verb
1. relieve (a person or animal) of the symptoms of a disease or condition.
"he was cured of the disease"
synonyms: heal, restore to health, make well/better; archaic: cleanse
"after a long course of treatment, he was cured"

I'm referring to the colloquial usage of "cure", which is all anyone cares about in this context. Who cares if the DNA is there if the symptoms are completely gone?

> remember that slow is fast in engineering

Coming from an academic field myself... be careful with this one. Depending on your personal habits in academia, you might have to learn the opposite - your code doesn't have to be perfect, it has to work.

Be careful not to end up overthinking the code/design and under-delivering on the timeline. Missing time estimate once in a while is usually OK, missing it consistently and by a lot might become a problem.
I have 18 years of experience in software development and engineering. Due to my concern that I wouldn't make it doing anything else, I've stayed stuck in the technical path.

Let me just say that after at least 10 years of routine 10-12 hour days and occasional weekend work, I think maybe you made a better decision than I did.

I make less than industry rates working for a large corporation and you'd be shocked by how much pressure and technical responsibility I have as one person. And no matter what I do to try to get help, the burden stays on me because it's perceived that "I can handle it".

So again, maybe you made a better decision.

Out of curiosity, what do you do instead?
If public blockchains prevail then everything is already public and traceable to a single individual. Search wouldn't even be necessary. As long as financial gateways are tied into decentralized web, AML/KYC will prevent total anonymity so there is always room for forensic services.

Opinion: Why Facebook Will Never Be Free of Fakes

The hosting cost for things like Facebook and Twitter are a pittance compared to the cost of employing all of the engineers/designers/etc who enhance and maintain those services. That IMO is the biggest economic challenge facing decentralized applications.

You can make some nice proof-of-concepts with a group of volunteers, but the effort required to provide a UX comparable to centralized services is going to take more than a handful of people working evenings and weekends.

Decentralized services generally do not afford the same monetization opportunities as central services. Decentralized proponents consider this a feature rather than a bug, but it leaves open the question: Who is going to pay for all of this?

Indeed those things are both homeless shelters and provide other societal benefits.

The fact that there are homeless people living under bridges, does not take away from the value that the bridge provides.

This is not the case for libraries. For the ones that do act as homeless shelters, you may as well just throw away all the books, and everything, because you aren't going to be getting much work done there.
Be patient with yourself. You have talents that are quite useful, but good code design and architecture are rarely thought about in academics. Realize that while you spent 4-6 years getting your PhD, your coworkers were becoming better engineers. That doesn't mean you can't do good work, but for a while you'll mostly be learning from others.
there's the politics of 'getting ahead' and work for the promotion that "everyone" is after. then there's the politics of ... getting along with coworkers and getting projects done (time mgt, priorities, etc). To me, they're different, and I was speaking mostly of the former.
I wonder if part of the problem is that democracies don't really work well when for example Americans care about only themselves. One classic example is NIMBYs in cities. Of course, the debt-based economy only compounds the problem.

Hmm. Strange. But I'm sure there was something in the later chapters about the later mankinds. I've only read it on paper but I see no indications that the Project Gutenberg version is different from the printed book.

Perhaps it would be worth adding a To Don't list? I mean, it's not the To Do List that makes or breaks us, but doing things we shouldn't be doing (that pours sand in the gas tank of productivity).

That said, and perhaps this is outside your scope, what kills me is social media. I know #duh :) let me finish :) For example, I'll be stuck on something semi-pressing so I'll post it on SM. That leads to checking back for answers. Or having something to share to SM and not wanting to forget about it later so it becomes a now thing.

Much of agism is actuulay moeny related too.

While allot comes from the belief that "young people are just smarter" (as opposed to whites or men as was the "common sense" in the past).

Much of the discrimination is because it is assumed that after a few years, technologists actually know how much they're worth while the fresh college graduate etc is awestruck by a wage that is barely over bay-area poverty line: There's an assumption you can't get a bargain hiring the over 35 set.
Would it not be possible for an OS to implement a push receiver service with an open port. With IPv6, after registering through an app with a server, the server can just send a UDP packet to the open port? Maybe you could do an "hmac firewall" like in OpenVPN to avoid processing nonsense packets?

> Maybe allow moderation at the sub-community level (as Reddit does with its subforums), but no centralised censorship

Reddit most definitely has centralized censorship. They have additional subreddit censorship left to the discretion of subreddit moderators.

Reddit, like most social media sites, have been slowly moving from intermediary platforms to edited platforms.

> 'Cause I think the likes of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter… would rather choose the "intermediary" path than risk taking legal responsibility for their enormous user base.

They prefer the intermediary position, but are pressured to act as editors by politicians and the news companies.
BlackBerry cracked push like this years ago, though it wasn't open. The phones used to connect over the carrier's network to a private APN (over VPN or leased line with to the carrier), so they always knew your BlackBerry's IP address. If you were out of range they'd do the whole storing it all up and when your device came back into coverage they'd send it all down. No hanging connections, the device was directly exposed into the BlackBerry network.
Indeed, but for some purposes, maybe? Also, they offer airmail.cc (innocuous) and tfwno.gf (not entirely obvious).
