Agreed. My 3 year old daughter wants to play her PBS games on my computer, but is still frustrated by the mouse control. This could be a generational thing too, as the more intuitive option to her is to touch the screen where she wants (like the tablets and phones do). There's definitely a level of abstraction with the mouse that most of us have long forgotten.

Depends what it's aimed at. I started a business and was very productive the first few years. That set me up for less work later.

I'm extremely happy at my past productivity. And, at the time, I was also aware I was building something, so I generally felt happy, or at least with purpose. (There was a lot of stress then too)

If you're just productive at....whatever and it isn't really driving towards something valued, I'm sure it feels very different.

> This site simply doesn't allow discourse anymore. Not unless you already agree with somebody. Shame.

Hi, I really like discourse. Especially with people who have strong opinions in a field I'm learning about. Notably, 'functional programming' is such a field, and you seem like such a person.

However, statements like the above kind of turn me off from discourse. It heavily suggests there will be friction in the conversation. Thus, I would ask you to leave out the comments. Your points will still be made, and made more concisely. Moreover, it improves the chance someone will actually reply.

This is doubly so when responding to downvotes, rather than responding to negative replies. Because downvotes don't look nearly as aggressive as negative replies. Moreover, the person reading your response is probably not the one who downvoted.

How does that get around the problem of mandated reconstruction with the insurance payout?
It’s not just about the money.

I’ve worked for product companies and was forced to interact with government clients.

Bureaucracy, bureaucracy, bureaucracy. No risk taking, no point in standing out, promotions based on time in service. You could offer me quadruple my salary to go and work for the government and I still wouldn’t take the job.

Just supporting the government clients on a part time basis made me want to quit my job just to get away from the government clients.
It's striking to see that there is a full section of Troubleshooting and test procedures, over 250 pages for the PC manual, as if it was supposed to fail by default.

Can someone explain why the deal caps carbon output to a set amount per country and not per capita? It seems like it heavily benefits countries like China who have many more times the population of smaller countries who are currently trying to increase their population size.

It seems difficult to reduce carbon, while adding carbon based lifeforms that breathe carbon, eat things that create more carbon and use electricity which creates more carbon.
As other people have said, the money isn't just going towards replacing the Amiga. The school system wants to upgrade to more modern HVAC systems, which is good in the long run as they'll be more energy efficient and probably more effective.
It's really sad to see such a trite "kids are obsessed with video games" article on coming from ArsTechnica. What's especially irritating is how he admits to dropping out of medical school due to playing video games but insinuates that Minecraft is the root cause of his child's issues because it's more advanced. These moral panics started with Space Invaders in the 1980's [0]!

Any "addiction" without a strong physical component (alcohol, weed, sex, video games, etc.) is often just an outgrowth of an underlying mental health disorder. But since stigma is attached to mental health disorders, we are very quick to blame anything else. Unlike video games, it appears parents haven't gotten any smarter in past 40 years.

Not necessarily. I’ve worked with an “architect” who started at the company as the only developer and as it grew became the dev lead just because of seniority. He kept making the same mistakes and was the definition of an “expert beginner”.

He ran away everyone who was brought in to bring some outside perspectives. The only people left are those who gave up and go with the flow because they can’t find a better job without moving (small city with only three major technology employees) and those who don’t know any better.
AWS didn’t actually originate with Amazon’s internal infrastructure. It was years before even trivial services were moved to AWS. It was an entirely new business plan based solely on accumulated expertise at data center management, nothing else was shared.
>> Companies who produce such drugs have almost carte blanche to make any price they want

That's not really right since it's not open competition.

MHLW sets a price for orphan drugs, which all companies must follow. In practice, the Ministry tends to use global prices as baseline in its negotiations with orphan drug suppliers, through their trade group representatives.

While I like the idea very much, one has to ask what evidence is there that the corporation behind this is actually structured in a way that it will be solvent to pay for hosting over the course of 100 years and to pay for the technical staff as needed to adapt content to whatever future network and hosting technologies may exist. (Web technologies have evolved tremendously from HTML 1.0 in the '90s; I can't even imagine what the Internet might look like in 2118.) Whatever that cost might be, I'd imagine that it's a lot more than $99 unless the site reaches Facebook-like scale.
Feedback given:

"Looking at the first question, with female athlete crossing legally as default vs male athlete crossing illegally:

- Both options should involve honking the horn loudly and flashing emergency lights, which might get the humans to run away. There's no guarantee of death either way.

- Are there passengers in the car? If not, it looks like there's an "island" in between the athletes that has traffic lights—big metal poles sticking out of the ground—which the car could crash into and help stop itself. For that matter, can the car drive itself off the road instead?"
Precisely, that's why these calibrations are so important.

You can start from the assumption that the natural C14 to C12 ratio is a constant. And from there you can measure the actual ratio in the present time for a sample. Using math you can estimate how long ago the material was part of a living creature, since in the meantime the ratio would not have kept pace with the natural environmental ratio and instead would change depending on the half-life of C14. However, the assumption of a constant natural abundance of C14 is incorrect, there are lots of complex effects (like solar activity) which impact the ratio, which in turn affects the estimated age of an object. The more data you have on ancient C14 ratios the better able you are to calibrate radiocarbon dating.

In the past ancient trees and lake/seafloor samples have been used because they have many individual samples from separate years, each of which can be independently dated (separate from radiocarbon analysis).
Your sentiment has merit, but it reminds me of the bit in Huckleberry Finn (I think?) where a traveling scam show comes to town. Every night, a crowd arrives, pays entrance, and is treated only to the scammers persuading them to keep quiet about it, so that the next night's crowd gets taken for suckers too. And of course, misery loves company, so the people do just that.

Virtually all methodologies like this boil down, in the end, to an attempt to codify "be smart and do the thing."

When I was younger I (foolishly) derided software engineering as 'a way to get code out of people who aren't smart enough to program'. Now I see it like any other power tool - something which lets you do work that you wouldn't otherwise be able to tackle. No matter how smart you are, there's always some problem that's out of your intuitive reach, but which you could solve with a structured approach.
I do feel like people need to stop putting the word "Millennial" in titles or treating that word as an actual definition of a group of people.

I feel grouping groups of 18 to 40 year olds (or any other arbitrary starting and ending age depending on the definition of millennial we're using) as one category called Millennial is one of the most confusing terms. You can't even use it as a scientific classification or categorization or even define a person properly using the word Millennial because definitions vary and the person could be 20, 30 or as in this article, 36.
That was the immediate benefit I thought of.

Find something that fascinates you and research it. It's an amazing time for learning now, with introductory through to really deep knowledge and supportive communities available throughout the internet. Youtube itself is a goldmine, with some extremely well produced content exploring different topics. Then of course there are books and documentaries, forums and papers. Topics could include:

- History

- Science, Tech & Futurism

- Motorcycle, Automobiles & Engineering

- Art & Art History

- Philosophy

- Religion

- Geopolitics

- Economics

Now if you are like most people, this will kill a few hours but you wont quite "get into" the topic. Or you may feel excited about a topic for a few weeks/months and then loose interest. However, eventually you may find something that really interests you and take it further, until it becomes a hobby or a career. And if you don't, well you'll still more knowledgable than when you started.
see also langsec.org

non-Turing complete languages, formal grammars and context-free parsing are fascinating and the current state of tooling is really sophisticated but sparse. So much boilerplate code and adhoc parsing exists in my code and I never really appreciated how much until I asked myself if I really needed a Turing complete language to tell me if an input really is an integer or a string of 4 chars, etc.

I'm terrified what would happen if a fuzzer ever went to town on my python code.
You alredy said it better than I can, but anecdotally, when I stopped counting 5+ years ago, my license plate / id was being logged by the government at least three times each way to and from work. Since then, my friends and I have been victims of numerous property crimes that could be solved with a database query or two over those logs, but they’re not available to the people that investigate crimes, apparently.

On the other hand, I can name all sorts of ways technology is used to shake people down for committing victimless crimes...
> Also how is improving hispanic voter outreach remotely a matter of controversy?

Well hispanics mostly vote for democrats, so by increasing hispanic turnout you will get more democratic votes. If google cared about democracy, why not help everyone get out the vote? Why are they specifically hiring busses for hispanics in swing states unless they are trying to help the democrats?

> The US has universal voting rights. Their job is to connect people with information.

Yes, and im telling you they were not connecting all people, but focusing on connecting certain kinds of people to vote.

> Complaining about it strikes of the Dotcom Freudian slips of bribery in complaining about him making music videoes with rappers

Huh?

> That is downright saintly compared to lobbying and media conglomerates giving blatant editorial pushes.

So i don't get your arguemnt other than something about kim dotcom and rappers and because of that it's actually a good thing?

How would you feel if facebook ran a campaign of "getting out the white vote" that paid millions of dollars in adds and hiring rentals and drivers to get out only white people to the polls? Or just replace white with democrat or republian.

I don't see how anyone sees this as "saintly" rather than exactly what it is, a company in it's position of power trying to influence the results of an election. I have no idea how anyone but a radical capitalist sees that as a great service.
Intuition about fairness is not a useful guide to questions like this. It's all about the incentives and the outcomes they'll produce. I agree that the difference in outcome between executive and worker should be smaller, but how you get there matters.

One obviously wrong approach is to print money and hand it to the workers until they are all getting the same millions as the execs. This simply gets you inflation. Prices will reflect that retail clerks can now afford hundred-thousand-dollar t-shirts, and executive compensation will soar accordingly.

A more subtly broken approach is to regulate wages, so that you cannot pay an executive too much or an employee too little. Blocking the transactions that would do so destroys value. In this particular case, if Sears can't get anyone to administer a controlled descent and recovery, it will crash and burn. Then a worker's risk of layoff goes from likely to guaranteed. You could imagine something similar if we heavily penalized layoffs: less risk-taking, fewer positions available in the first place.

An economist would tell you to steepen the progressive tax curve and expand the EITC, or even run a Negative Income Tax that isn't conditional on work. This isn't free either, but it's generally regarded as the "least worse" option that achieves the social goal while minimizing perverse incentives.

The idea of a paternal responsibility from corporation to employee is intuitive and emotionally resonant, but not necessarily useful. You can say we are socializing the costs of business's risk-taking. You can also say we are purchasing flexibility as a public good, and making a profit on the value it creates in the tax base. I'd like to see us go even further into this "corporate welfare" by eliminating the employer's healthcare obligations in favor of a public option.
> Of course there are innumerable examples of brilliant people who become titans without a formal education, but you're making it awfully hard on yourself.

Using a file storage service like B2 or S3 as a file system is a bad idea anyway. You won’t be able to use features such as deduplication and incremental backup.

It’s better to use an external tool such as Restic or Duplicacy. So moving 5GB file is just a matter of changing a few KB index file.

SFP rates are equal to Amazon MF rates, which are better than public rates but certainly aren't Amazon's own rates being passed through.

Being as my info comes from multiple talks with people shipping hundreds or thousands of packages a day I'm quicker to assume there's something confused about your claim rather than Amazon making a change and it not reaching me through any of the sellers that use SFP heavily I network with.

Interestingly, the city determined a few years ago that the house was not a historic resource: http://citypln-m-extnl.sfgov.org/link.ashx?Action=Download&O...

Although the owner clearly exceeded the scope of the remodel permit issued by demolishing the house entirely, it's possible that the permit had authorized the removal of everything short of the wall framing (commonplace for "remodel" permits on non-historic buildings in SF.)

I've been using the Countour Design Unimouse for just over a year now and it has completely eliminated the wrist discomfort that I had before and I also think it might have lessened back pain that I suffer from. Wish I would have switched earlier.

> A 3-year professional degree that eliminates all general educational requirements seems like a pretty damn obvious win though.

Eliminating the only part of a university education that's useful? We already have coding bootcamps and they don't take three years.

If I had to choose between a person (with natural aptitude) who took this 3-year path you describe and the same person, but instead they took only the ~2 years of general education requirements, and spent zero minutes studying engineering in the classroom, I would hire the latter without hesitation.

It's a lot easier to get natural gas to burn down to CO2 and water than it is to get diesel to do so. You might be conflating 'clean' ( = minimal harmful emissions) with 'renewable'?

Agree that electric is the way to go for both goals, though - EVs are as clean and as renewable as their power generation method.
>Also, can anyone identify a useful idea that philosophers have come up with in the last 50 years?

What are you counting as useful, and to what extend must the results from one field be useful in another for such a field to appease you? In mathematics, the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem isn't very useful, but various attempts to prove it opened new branches of maths. I also question whether usefulness should be an end in itself.

Your "realistic scenario" can be reasoned with, and that reasoning is called philosophy. But the other aspect of philosophy is critically examining what we think is obvious. Your statement assumes various ideas of metaethics (that there are good and bad things, and we should strive for the good), ethics (i.e that saving someone, no matter who, is a good thing) and political philosophy (that the state should have the right to demand knowledge of the car's position) and leads the way to questions on the philosophy of law (to what extent one's rights to property and full control over a car coincide with the aims of civil society).
