I get where you’re coming from, but I’d argue that design requires both formal and embodied empathy — personas let you manage the complexity around a multiplicity of viewpoints, whereas embodied empathy (informed by ethnography) gives you the ability to understand those viewpoints at a visceral level. Every design choice means tradeoffs between user desires, so personas are useful for “lensing” those decisions and ensuring that everyone gets an equal (albeit virtual) seat at the table during description and definition phases (just as actual users get their seats during prototyping and UAT).

Having said that, I know some designers are downplaying personas or even omit them entirely (at the risk of Alan Cooper rising from the sea to take his vengeance on them), so I’d be curious to know your experience in working without an archetype net for clients, especially with journey maps and similar high-level deliverables. There’s nothing sacrosanct in the discipline, and if we can find better ways to get to the end state faster, so much the better for all of us!
Show HN: Zero Student Debt Initiative – Change for Freedom
https://rounduptozero.com/

Today's our soft launch as a bootstrapped startup!

Round-Up to Zero™ is a platform that allows users to round-up their daily purchases and automatically contribute the change to their linked student loan account.

Those without student loans can sign up as a supporter to match the Round-Ups of family and friends.

By making these monthly contributions users have the unique ability to reduce their principal loan amount automatically. The result is that these small, incremental payments greatly reduce the lifetime of your loan and the amount of interest you pay over the lifetime of the loan.

We have a long to do list, but wanted to share in the excitement of what we've accomplished so far!

Feedback would be appreciated! Our calculator gives you an idea of the impact small transactions can have over the years.
I disagree with this.

From a rational standpoint, I generally subscribe to the selection bias you (and Scriptor in a separate reply) raise as #1. However, for the sake of discussion, let's operate under the assumption these sightings are legitimate/noteworthy.

Personally, I grew out of bothering ant hills when I was about twelve. Nowadays, I pleasantly observe from high above. So why wouldn't aliens do the same?

In this case, your second theory fills in the gaps. But, one would assume some species capable of this technology would also have cultural norms about not interfering with less developed groups. Much the same way we (generally) try not to interfere with primitive tribes around the world.

I suppose, then, that the comparison could be made to the Sentinelese firing arrows at aircraft out of fear and suspicion. The aliens (in my opinion rightly) assume we would do the same to them because they are so foreign to us.

I'm having a hard time explaining it concisely, but it should be pretty intuitive once you figure out what I'm babbling about.
For me it was entirely diet and exercise. Once I got my ‘house’ in order everything got a lot easier. I still have ups and downs - that is human nature - but the range between those extremes is much tighter now. I also make sure to get 7.5 - 8 hours of sleep every night.

Food and sleep + healthy eating and regular excercise. Sounds simple but most neglect one or more (or all) those aspects and wonder why they feel the way they do.

Edit: I forgot to include philosophy, it’s good to have some beliefs to ground you too. For me that is stoicism.

I’m not sure. For me the point in college was to learn a lot, or outscore other students on the curve, so I didn’t really care about TAs or textbook costs. At work my point is just building a career, to which most coworkers are just incidentally relevant. If coworker is an asshole I’m lucky so far to usually treat it as an opportunity to learn how to deal with assholes, and learn how dodge their moves/move in the right direction anyway. But it’s easier to do this the easier your life is in general perhaps.

Actually, yes, some newer aircraft have high-def video cameras mounted on the tail and on the belly of the aircraft, and the video stream is streamed into the aircraft so that passengers can see the "outside view" on in-flight entertainment systems. The only thing is I believe the the cameras often get turned off in the middle of the flight when the boring part is going on..

Here's a YouTube example of a tail camera on takeoff:

All I'm getting out of your argument if YouTube is using these arguments they are trying to say that they do so much business they should be allowed to skip rules, and that they are potentially violating orders of magnitude more copyright than other industries.

Should we allow companies to skip out on laws just because they scaled their business up?
No, the CDN doesn’t matters.

It is happening with Google’s services as well.

I worked with some consultants who did this sort of thing for companies, and their main spiel was...

Sometimes a company’s owners have no one to pass their ownership down to (not having kids or their kids not wanting to take on the family business, etc). So they either sell the business off or do layoffs and liquidate and move on.

There have been instances where companies that employed a good amount of people in a town shut down due to this.

Making a company employee-owned is one way to keep it alive and operational. Sometimes it’s a better option than selling the ownership to a third party.

But then again that was just their sales pitch.
It was fine when they were blocking the readers, however the whole outcry started because Apple started bricking these phones with error 53.

I think quite the opposite, I believe they wanted the current leadership to stay, consequences and means of enforcement and human rights be damned. (it's also contrary to the US's wishes, for right or wrong). They want the status quo, cuz it's their only navy base on the Mediterranean.

Define that because I feel like everyone who complains about this is just mad they cannot pay netflix prices and get ad-free content to everything everyone has ever produced. News flash: that content costs a lot of money to product and at least in the US, I don't know of any content I have ever been interested in consuming that wasn't available for rent/buying on places like itunes. Is it more expensive than netflix, yes, but that's because it costs a lot to make. I bet I could make and license a streaming service that had all content ever produced but you would then complain about how it would cost like $200 a month to afford all of those licenses.

I remember in the 90s tuning into "space night" on a German satellite channel when I got home from the pub. Just continuous video feeds from low earth orbit with electronica/chillout playing over the top. Was really relaxing to have on in the background.

I can imagine working from home with something like that on in the background and occasionally looking up to "see where we are now" - would give me some sense of travelling and seeing something new, rather than just feeling like I've been stuck at home coding in front of my laptop all day.
Is being present on Uber Eats really necessary for a restaurant's survival these days? If so, why? Is it because Uber Eats has become how customers find restaurants? And if so, how has it done so? It wasn't just by having a lot of money and setting up a website. (See pets.com for a counterexample.)

Uber Eats provides value to (at least some) eaters, who therefore use it to decide which restaurants to patronize. (I can't tell you why they do so; I don't use it myself, and I don't understand why anyone would want to.) The restaurants then have to be part of Uber Eats (at a cost), or to miss out on those customers who use Uber Eats. If Uber Eats charges more than it's worth, then the restaurants won't sign up.

> It's not investments that are the problem. It's the way whole professions are "enslaved" by investors who simply make a pile of money, scale things up and build a portal, which then becomes the new market leader.

You don't become a market leader by having a lot of money and building a portal. You do it by providing something that people want enough for them to use your portal. Otherwise you get ignored.

The problem with hustle porn is really how little emphasis is put on luck. They show a grind that translates directly into results, not really talking about dealing with failure due to things outside of one's control. Yes hard work gets you primed for new opportunities, but luck still plays a role in which opportunities you come across.

The transcript above refers to the object banking and climbing. That sounds a lot more like a secret military vehicle than falling space debris.
It's part of the deal though. Anyone who willingly participates has a goal where the end justifies the means. Albeit, a sell your soul type of deal at times, but nevertheless the problem is more a lack of self-awareness for why one might be hustling. That self-awareness is also understanding why Hustle Porn beckons.

Separating a pocket of space-time from itself, then moving that. Which would also effect inertia.
I suspect that moving space-time around itself would introduce totally different shearing effects but maybe those could be mitigated using special non-physical(or physical) geometry, like aerodynamics but for space-time.
Interestingly, the style of art and writing is very similar to that of Hokusai Manga. Which is considered as the one of the predecessors of today's Manga and Anime.

It's bizarre to think there are rules in wars between countries but no rules in civil wars. In a civil war every party is still liable to the world as they're in a conventional war. If they use chemical or nuclear weapons they know that it's entirely possible third parties may get involved just because of their dirty tactics. If you're in a country where the West doesn't give a shit, and nobody bats an eye when chemical weapons are used (e.g. Syria) it doesn't make much sense to think that the same wouldn't apply if this were a conventional war (say, Syria vs Iraq). Obviously nuclear weapons are a bit bigger deal than chemical weapons, but what I'm trying to say is that similar dynamics are in play both in civil wars and conventional wars. If you're in the belief that a nuclear civil war can happen when a rogue party can shoot nukes, why wouldn't they shoot it to another country if they come to power? If you think "well then US would get involved so they obviously wouldn't do that" then why would US not get involved nukes being used in a civil war.
I mean, that's true as well. How is it (in your eyes) dishonest?
> we know eating red meat is bad for you. We know that a balanced diet favoring vegetables is good for you

What do we know, exactly? Because we've known lots of stuff that turns out to be bunk. And I am seeing increasing evidence that a one-size-fits-all diet isn't healthy - some people will need more or less of different things, or to abstain entirely from categories.

Not saying this is a good idea - but It's hard to say to what degree it isn't.

OK, so how does any of that get easier with any other language? In what other language do SIMD instructions, floating-point edge cases, or fused multiply-add map neatly back into HLL constructs? The unwinding stuff is an even clearer example of other languages - notably those with exceptions - being further from the hardware. I was already aware of all of those things when I said "as close as you can get" and they only reinforce the point. Thanks for the help.

This. It's easy to hustle, and hustle, and work hard, and hustle.. when you've found that product-market fit, or you've found that profitable niche, or you've found that market opportunity. Otherwise, the chances of you succeeding is nil. It's like you're playing World of Warcraft, or Diablo II and can't find that loophole to farm new items. Once you've found that secret, you can then hustle.
There's nothing wrong with hard work.

But there is a lot wrong with the idea that you need to work until your health is impacted to succeed; if you need to work that hard, something else is off - the idea isn't good enough, you're attacking it in the wrong way, whatever.

To me this ties into the gross, pervasive trend of wantrepreneurism. Shark Tank, Zuck, Elon Musk - being a founder has never been sexier, never been more interesting or lucrative. In the wake of that, WeWork and GaryV and a whole bunch of people are selling the idea that regardless of how bad your idea is or how unfit you are to be an entrepreneur, all you need is access or hustle to succeed. And that's awful, awful advice.

As income inequality continues to grow, I expect this to get worse and worse.

This reminds of the that NY Times "intellectual dark web" article, with such obscure figures as Joe Rogan.

The man has one of the most popular podcasts in the world, but still can get the times to write an article about how he's some underground thinker.

If you dig deeper into these kinds of complaints from these kinds of people, it usually turns into "The people _I_ want to like me do not". They expect universal admiration, and when they don't they yell about some sort of conspiracy.

The fact that everyone even knows about the popular people making these complaints disproves the thesis that they can't get out there and make their arguments.

It just turns out that none of these alternative thinkers can handle any sort of criticism against their ideas, and think there's a mass conspiracy. Ocamm's razor suggests otherwise
This is a good article, and the final paragraphs about the Norwegian model are welcome in a world where so many articulate criticisms fail to offer any positive suggestions.

I am not sure about the following paragraph though:

> For example, rich parents may pull special levers to get their kids into hyper-select schools, or elite internships, or exclusive entry-level jobs. In so doing, they—in effect— snatch precious opportunities away from the less fortunate.

> Parenting doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game, but it often is.

I find the zero-sum assumption here a little concerning. In terms of classical economics, it is a good short term assumption (there are only so many Internships or select schools) but a bad long term assumption (high profits will incentivise more school to open up; though I haven't thought about Internships enough to say either way).

Is there any evidence that these opportunities are relatively inelastic in the long run? Or that the equilibrium is relatively zero-sum? i.e. that rich families find a way to take advantage in a way that puts others down long term?

That’s the American way though. Individual success, socialized failure.
It requires is that everyone be able to split the line into segments, such that they think it would be fair for them to receive any of their segments, i.e., such that they would rate all segments as equally valuable. This allows people to have different preferences than each other.

But I'm not sure what a multidimensional preference is. If your utility for a set of candy is, say, a pair of real numbers (which I presume is the sort of thing you mean by "multidimensional"?), what does it mean for two sets of candy to have equal value? Would both of the real numbers have to be equal? If so, this method isn't going to work: in general you wouldn't be able to split the line into segments of equal value.
I'd argue that we do need all of those things. Their persistence throughout human history suggests so.
