I absolutely sympathise and struggled with this myself to some extent. One thing that has worked for me is one-by-one adopting particular tactics that I see socially successful people using. And I mean I consciously note and incorporate them individually into my interactions. Eventually they get almost automatic. That may sound crazy and that it would look contrived. But I have never been called on it, no one has ever accused me of imitating another, and as far as I can tell it has been strictly beneficial. Of course, the tactics that work for me might not be the ones that would fit for you. So shop around! Watch other people and try some on.

Just for some examples of what I've adopted:

(1) When you first enter into a conversation, whether with a single person, or a group at a meeting, come in with a big smile. And actually, the worse the situation, the bigger the smile should be. I got that from my boss's boss. Likely does no apply at funerals.

(2) When listening to someone explain something, when they pause, repeat the last few words they said and nod. Like if they say, "We can't add more labor to the Jennings account, because that would pull from the Labowski project and THAT just can't happen!". You (nodding understandingly): "can't happen."

(3) When talking to non-technical people, never say the word "no". Get the idea across, and be just as clear as needed that something is not possible, but do not actually use that ego bruising two-letter word. This grates like hell against my technical mind that prefers clarity and actual reality. But I've found "no" sets business people off like startled chickens.

There must be literally 10+ free/$1-5, high-quality, "don't break the chain apps" on the market. Why would I pay a monthly recurring fee for one? What makes this app special?
Welp, guess I won't be purchasing the mustang I wanted. This has got to stop. Like the final paragraph states: If I pay for a vehicle in cash, I damn well don't feel like paying with my privacy and data, too.

This is the very same reason I'll never use Windows. Telemetry is an invasion of privacy. It's also why the "right to repair" is such an important issue. Owners of cars (or any device, for that matter) should be able to go into the software (including breaking encryption) and disable or remove components that report data to external sources.

If I want cheap services in exchange for data, I'll go with Lyft. Fuck yourself, Hackett.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. You, and I, as well, don't happen to agree with this one. After Asimov, RAH is my second favorite SciFi author, having read his entire catalog, many, multiple times.

Tumblr is to child porn what LiveJournal was - the site's admins made a very deliberate choice in what they filter and don't filter (courting a user base that likes pornographic depictions of characters that appear to be children) and it's not surprising to see a reaction from more mainstream folk.

I certainly didn't mean to imply that Communism was the cause of the famine.

I meant to instead do what you seem to be doing - pointing out a bit of economic turmoil that lead to great loss of life. Mine just happened to be accounting for on the side of the ledger labeled "Communism".

Does it make the Great Famine any less an economic blow to Communist China that there are also historical examples of large famines in capitalist societies?

I'm not sure it does.
> Silicon Valley is the show most startup founders will refuse to watch.

So, so true. I tried to start watching it when I was running my startup but it literally felt like I was watching the same place and people I was spending 9-14 hours/day at the startup accelerator I was in.
It's unfortunate that so many are drinking the disaggregation koolaid.

FACT: you cannot disaggregate CPU from memory. Of course, that's the component you most want to do. Disaggregating IO devices is no big deal (and obviously doable with a monolithic kernel, since we have pcie hotplug today.)

Why? The fact that DRAM latency has been around 50ns for a decade is probably the most important performance limiter on any systems today. Exchanging 50ns local DRAM for 600-1000ns network access is profoundly stupid. Caches? Sure, they're great, but we already have very large caches that hardly ever take non-compulsory misses.

In other words: bandwidth is easy; latency is hard.

This is not news, but it's why your datacenter won't have racks of ram and a racks of memory-free cpus, and a racks of storage.
The reason they all look sort of alike is due to energy efficiency and safety laws making cars indistinguishable due to a global optima.

...with Tumblr being forced to mass-wipe things they're deleting both sfw and nsfw content. Most likely based upon reports, which in Tumblr culture are typically fake.

It's true. It was uncanny just how balanced the game was. And there was a meta-layer where the drunker you get, the more awful it was to reinstall Windows 98. We had two computers going to cut down on install time.

I think once we mapped a Thrustmaster snowboard to the mouse and had to use that to navigate. It was awful.
I've not been a fan of visual programming in the past (and I'm not a huge fan of SSIS) but I did a project recently that included both Microsoft Flow and Azure Logic Apps and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly you can build something rather powerful.

The key as far as I can see is not to allow things to get too complex and call out to "real" code components over a certain level of complexity.
> throw away enough spoiled food to feed every hungry mouth on the planet

In Somalia, we shipped containers full of rice and much of it was stolen by warlords. Yet, if we send troops, you'd scream anti-war. If we don't send troops, the rice gets stolen and people starve.

Perhaps inconsistently, you complain that there are too many people, but then decry us for not feeding all of those people. You complain about carbon footprints, yet somehow, excess food in San Francisco needs to be sent to people in Bangladesh. How does that happen? On a ship perhaps? Maybe sailboats? We'll need refrigeration. Solar? We could shanghai a battalion of fat people to row it across the ocean?

> 90% of us just need to immediately cease to exist

Other than mass murder, what do you propose we do? You're anti-war, so we can't use that to reduce the population. You complain about people starving, so clearly that isn't a means to handle the issue. I'm at a loss. Perhaps mass sterilization of undesirables? I think we tried that a while back and that didn't turn out too well. Birth control? Maybe, but most humans actually want to reproduce and have families.

Various links related to this have come up in the past few days, and I think they mostly betray a lack of understanding of the weaknesses of text-based programming, and a lack of imagination as to how visual programming could actually work.

> ok, here's a citation: Google made this change to their rules in the first place because a bunch of their employees got angry and shamed and criticized them publicly, which those employees were encouraged to do by the past 1-2 years of public criticism and shaming of rapists.

No, where's the citation that this all this shaming in criticism causes things to become illegal? Google is always in the media spotlight, they're more likely to pay lip service than others.

> I know companies generally follow market incentives. That doesn't mean those are good or should be excused as acceptable human behavior which is what your original comment serves to do.

I'm not excusing anything, that's a really unfair allegation. I'm saying you are naive if you expect anything else out of the rules that are in place and that the rules need to be changed. Of course big companies yield to PR campaigns, that's a market incentive in and of itself. Yet, these arbitration clauses remain pervasive. Companies can just wait out some harassment suit that may never happen and then apologize and maybe change something.

Two things:

1 ) I'm unfortunately not surprised. For my girlfriends and I, Tumblr was basically effectively a place to express our lesbian-ness and effectively collect 'tasteful' nudes.

It wouldn't shock me in the least to find teenagers doing a similar thing, which, of course, would be illegal.

While others are saying that Tumblr was sort of picked on unfairly here, I'd argue the percentage of NSFW content that's easily-accessible on Tumblr is, in my personal experience, much higher than that of many other social networks.

2 ) That folks are still using Tumblr is a surprise to me. It seems as though many of my friends and I had a mass exodus about 4-5 years ago.

Arrays and Objects and trees and everything else in an AST (including the AST itself) are shapes.

Shapes are better built with our hands. They're often filled with text, which is more easily said than written.

Someone can already use a visual programming language to simulate the ocean in UE4 in 2018, in 20 years we'll have a mainstream general purpose visual programming language. More people might be using a visual programming language to make their AST than a keyboard, which is as comparatively cumbersome to gestures/talking as punchcards are to keyboards.

This is not 100% real programming, because it does not include sensors, but you do create constructs that interact with the environment and accomplish goals. It's close enough to show what's possible with certain interfaces.

There have been much fewer resources allocated to the development of these concepts. Mostly for historic reasons.

The sad reality is that both critics and proponents of visual programming are often uninformed about prior work, user studies and related research rooted in cognitive and developmental psychology.

Copenhagen is wrong to the degree that any theory can be called wrong. It posits specific physical events (collapse) which are not only unsupported by evidence, and not only contradicted by evidence (delayed choice quantum eraser experiments), and not only logically self contradictory (when it is not too vague to make concrete statements about the phenomena it is explaining, it is circular-- our theory of electrons cannot include scientists (or the macroscopic world in general) as a fundamental element, when scientists themselves are explained in terms of electrons), but ontologically inferior to many worlds, which explains all the same phenomena without adding any new suppositions (and no, the extra worlds are not extra suppositions, they are natural predictions that arise by simply following well verified quantum laws to their natural conclusion, by treating the environment as a quantum mechanical system of particles).

Are these tips, apart from the Chinese name part, actually a good idea? They sound like ways to stand out and be flagged by algorithms as interesting as quickly as possible.

If I (a foreigner) enter the country and don't check in to a hotel to sleep that seems like it should be a red flag. If the authorities are tracking every usual way of traveling from point A to point B, and I move from point A to point B without using one that seems like a red flag.

Assuming all these collection processes are going to a central database somewhere, both of those things seem to be very easy queries to make.

teachers and firefighters are middle income, and are the core of that bracket who have demand inelasticity. Store clerks do not enjoy that, so they just lose their middle-income jobs.

Is there really a point to being this strict about child pornography? I'm still uncomfortable with the implications of certain configurations of numbers being illegal, and it's unlikely these laws/bans protect any children, unless there are people who exclusively rape children to distribute the resulting images and videos, which seems dubious.

I can understand individual sites taking down such images, but anything further seems like overreach.
