I considered that, but I can't think of any plausible reason for prominent overlap in viewership of JP's moderate political content and extreme RW content. Maybe Peterson appeals to people who previously thought the only moderate option was quiet deference to progressives? Would be really interesting if this were the case--it might imply that Peterson has a strong moderating effect on RWers and/or that people are being taught a false dichotomy between extreme left and right.
I find my belief that women are equal in talent and ability contradicts the notion that such segregated 'safe spaces' are anything but sexist; how do we reconcile the opinion that women are equal with the opinion that women need segregated spaces (professional-related)?

I’m not sure that this is a natural state. Maintenance of capital is expensive. It must be defended, repaired, furnished access, etc. These costs are naturally distributive.

Consider that in our society, somebody must be paying the maintenance costs of ownership. Who?

It's not about the gold, it's a reductio argument aimed at gaining your agreement that there's some line beyond which inequality is harmful, so the disagreement can move on to the topic of where the line is whether than is inequality even possibly bad.
> If you're talking about the "accredited investor" rules, I believe that those are both intended and have the actual effect of protecting poor and middle income people from scammers (by making the exploitation of them with some fantastical get-rich-quick scheme into a specific federal crime).

Yeah, so the thing is that the wealth of a lot of the people with inherited wealth was made via investments by ancestors for whom a similar investment today would be illegal.

It is certainly true that many people lost a lot of money through bad investments before the accredited investor rules. It's also true a lot of people made a shit ton of money. The issue now is that today, they have the effect of ensuring that only the rich can invest in the most lucrative investments.
> I mean to express distaste for people who tend to loosely throw the terms "privacy" and "security" around, especially when recommending laundry lists of configuration options, patches, extensions, etc.

This is a much, much more useful description. And I'd agree. Usability is a critical part of privacy and security, and recommendations for tools that cater exclusively to advanced users (whether the tool developers realize that or not) can do more harm than good.

I had a 2016 MacBook Pro which absolutely had a lot of issues with the butterfly keyboard. It was clearly a bad product. But they definitely fixed the issues with the 2018 one.

The keyboards. My 2016 MacBook Pro has had issues with several of the keys.

Apple has extended the warranty on the keyboard to four years, but it's not like they will actually give you a working keyboard design, but rather switch out the keyboard for the same design.

They're also being sued for the keyboard issues.
I bought into the hype as well even with every angle of my headphones covered (JayBird for workouts, Bose SoundSports for all-day/work, Sennheiser Momentum over-ears for quality), probably a drunken buy, but it's kind of replaced my all-day pair. The no-wires thing is kind of nice, but really it's how well they work with other apple products that does it for me. First pair of bluetooth headphones that didn't annoy the shit out of me until I just went back to wired.

> Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.
Really good post.

The main thing that sticks out is that the author mentions how referrals are the number one source of leads for basically every freelancer. The problem is that he only mentions it. Ok, that's great. How do I get referrals? The issue is that none of the other stuff matters if you don't know how to get referrals.

The author did a good job with the post, but I can't express how important it is to be a people person when freelancing. In order to get referrals you have to get projects. In order to get projects, you have to leave your house and meet other local business owners. That's very hard for freelancers to do and I think the post would be 100 times better if the author spent a little more time on that aspect of freelancing.
When talking times like that, lots of 2nd-, 3rd- and 4th-order effects become important. Like flexing of the mechanism due to Coriolis forces, or coupling between the magnet and the earth's magnetic field. Heat losses that will stop the motor in years, not millennia.
I have the official wireless charging stand for Pixel 3, and FWIW, it doesn't seem to have problems charging it even if the phone is visibly tilted and off-center on the stand.

But perhaps that's exactly why it's a stand and not a mat - there are only so many ways to put a phone on it such that it stays there.
No, you can't, because if people are unable to speak their mind on one platform, they will move to another or go underground. I would prefer it, if people with terrible ideas were kept out in the open, where their ideas can be debated, challenged or mocked, instead of having them in isolated echo chambers. Such places breed radicals.

Also, "hate" is such a super vague term.
There's a lot of exciting work in graphs right now.

> Outside of the legal system “innocent until proven guilty” is a very common cause of the revictimisation of victims.

Could you elaborate a bit on how that works? I'm not saying you should actively vocalise that you don't believe a victim, just that you shouldn't be piling on to someone or contributing to them losing everything if you don't know whether they're guilty and are otherwise unfamiliar with the victim.
My experience with these kinds of people is they react badly when anything new seeps into their worlds.
At the time I remember being amazed that the company I worked for paid out $$$ to get some SGI machines up to ~160Mb of RAM. This was because the software we used had a memory leak of some sorts and needed such an extravagantly 'wasteful' amount of memory.

Having the sockets to support up to 160Mb was one thing, having long enough arms and deep enough pockets to pay for it was something else. Hence 'unimaginable'.

Nowadays you get a couple of sockets on your laptop, back then whether laptop or something else, a workstation would have lots and lots of sockets for memory, usually with very few of them filled.
What is the implication for all the other wireless charging mats on the market? Are charging mats by other manufacturers smaller than the mat that Apple wanted to introduce so the other mats won't run into overheating issues, or is it likely that the other mats will also run into overheating issues, but their standards are lower than Apple's so they are ok with it?
I find it extremely hard to believe that something like a seizure wouldn't create any changes in the hormones of a person that's about to have one. Apparently it's not that much of a foregone conclusion as I see others have replied saying for them it's just an electrical reaction in the brain (which I can't agree with in principle, that's not how the brain works, most brain activity is chemically mediated).
You can probably reconcile by talking in person with women who use these spaces.
I think it's even more interesting to see the Democrat side:

Why is everybody else spending so much less than O'Rourke? Does his campaign actually have that much more money compared to the other campaigns?
Why did they cancel the product rather than delay it? If they are cancelling the product, either the issues are unfixable and it means that something is very wrong with their engineering, because they are expected to understand whether the product is possible a little bit earlier than some months before production. Or managers are just acting impulsively which is as wrong.
Our mission is to give everyone a voice and show them the world.

We believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share and build community through our stories.

Our values are based on four essential freedoms that define who we are.

Freedom of Expression

We believe people should be able to speak freely, share opinions, foster open dialogue, and that creative freedom leads to new voices, formats and possibilities.

Freedom of Information

We believe everyone should have easy, open access to information and that video is a powerful force for education, building understanding, and documenting world events, big and small.

Freedom of Opportunity

We believe everyone should have a chance to be discovered, build a business and succeed on their own terms, and that people—not gatekeepers—decide what’s popular.

Freedom to Belong

We believe everyone should be able to find communities of support, break down barriers, transcend borders and come together around shared interests and passions.

You are assuming that Apple has great cross-team communication. By many reports, they do not: I've heard that one team does not know what another team is working on, much less the status of that project.
Wealth inequality is the main cause of power inequality, and is thus a major reason why something like UBI won't happen just because it benefits poor people.

There’s no way this group of all groups of people takes mission statements and marketing seriously, unless of course it’s convenient.
Apple has much less consumer friendly return policies in many non-US markets. Take Hong Kong for example: "All products purchased at Apple Store in Hong Kong cannot be returned or exchanged. Exceptions for exchange will be allowed for defective products only." https://www.apple.com/hk/shop/help/exchange_return

I'd have a hard time arguing that the AirPods are defective because the non-bundled mat on the box didn't ship.
There’s a huge difference between the “I’m a young single college grad making $50k a year and billionaires are the reason I’m poor” narrative and literally stepping over potentially dead unsheltered people on your way to the office of a multi-billion dollar company.

> Apple has a 1-week (or is it 2 weeks?) unconditional return policy. It actually disservices them to announce it after since they may now get a bunch of open box returns.

Yeah, but how many people are actually going to go through the hassle of returning them?
> Nonsense

Whoops, I shouldn't have been hyperbolic. I meant that the danger of a busy road comes from the cars, not that a bike becomes inherently more dangerous on a busy road. The fact that 84% of serious and fatal cyclist accidents also involve another vehicle is pretty strong evidence of the danger of cars, IMO.

> Most people don’t drive for convenience, but necessity.

The statement I responded to ("as a driver having to veer into oncoming traffic to avoid them is dangerous") asserts that a driver has no choice but to endanger themselves and others by entering the lane of oncoming traffic. My point is that a driver can also choose to slow down and pass the cyclist when the way is clear, but for their own convenience they choose to endanger their own life as well as other road users.
It is a slimy move to wait a week after the wireless charging Airpods were released before announcing this.

Slimey? Really? Slimey is opening a factory along side a river and then dumping the waste chemicals in the river while touting the number of jobs added to the local economy.

In Apple's case, they announced a product early, turns out they couldn't deliver on it. No harm, no foul... okay maybe reputational foul, but nothing of real consequence.

The lather the Apple tech pundit crowd has worked itself up over the Airpower nonsense (you can't call it anything more than that at this point) is bewildering. If Apple would have delivered I probably would have bought it, my stuff still charges the legacy way, I'll probably buy more Apple stuff in the future, the world moves on.
The interesting bit for me is how she doesn't say a single interesting thing.

What has she actually done in her life, other than writing cheques that total 70 million?

I don't know, and I've read the entire interview.

We really have a crisis of imagination, both on the behalf of the poor and the rich. The poor want to be rich, the rich go to restaurants, buy shoes and write cheques.

This is the sad bit about rich people - they just can't seem to figure out that you can't make someone interesting, by sending them to Oxford, Harvard, etc. They're just bored, or maybe it's just me, bored and grumpy, of reading HackerNews :)
It's a shame when comments like these are downvoted. You're spot on, magnetic bearings certainly have a very small drag, but it's not zero. Going over that reed switch will also produce a tiny amount of drag, it's miniscule by any measure, but it's still additional drag. Even just the fact that it's a spinning magnet passing by that conductive copper is going to induce a tiny drag force.

What would be cool is a version of this but instead of permanent magnets in the rotor make it an induction motor or an electrostatic motor.
Did you not read the context of the article? The "swatter" called the police and told them he had killed "his" father and was armed and dangerous. They were showing up to the scene with that context... It's not remotely the same as you being a random visitor in the country. Don't be ridiculous.
Apple charging mat was unique because it allowed multiple devices with arbitrary placement. I did not see any other similar charging mats. I'm using Xiaomi charger and it's barely producing any heat with iPhone 8, definitely not something that could run into overheating issues.
Maybe no hard cap, but a soft one imposed by way of criminal liability up the chain for a pattern of illegal behavior at the bottom, even where the higher-ups didn't know and purportedly didn't intend it. Complexity and missing accountability and controls is then a direct personal threat to decision makers. Of course, we'd probably get bigger cover-ups.
Unfortunately the issue with inequality is that it breeds more inequality.

Someone born into the .1% will continue to get richer and richer by literally not doing anything while others on different parts of the spectrum aren't in a position like that and many have negative assets.

If the playing ground was equal at birth and people were differentiated based on their hardwork no one would complain. The issue is the playing ground is not level and every day it gets more and more skewed.
When someone has money and spends it, other people benefit. Buying that jet employs how many people? Keeping that jet running employs how many people?

Why judge what people buy with their own money? Isn't hard enough to judge what you buy with your own money?
Does the 4 color theorem count?

The problem with brute force proof is that proofs are supposed to bring understanding. They aren't supposed to just assert that something is true, but also explain why it is true, and by doing so, they open the door for further research. For this reason, a proof is often more valuable than the result itself.

The proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is important because it exposes deep connections between previously disconnected disciplines, not because the identity itself is particularly useful. On the other hand, brute force proofs are inscrutable and offer none of that.

While Goedelian Incompleteness garuantees that not everything can be understood this way, that is not an excuse to use brute force more than absolutely necessary.

> Legal process fails plenty of times, saying that you are morally obligated to believe in its judgements

I'm not saying you should have blind faith in the legal system, but I am saying that I think it's morally better to withhold judgment until it has run its course. Additionally, if you are otherwise unrelated to a certain case, I would still be inclined to have less trust in your own judgment than in the judgment of people who spent far more time on it than you, unless you have specific reason to believe they're especially likely to have ruled incorrectly other than not trusting the process, such as conflicts of interest.
When I was in college, I knew one of the more remote heirs to the Seagram's fortune. I don't know if his father was a billionaire, but they were extremely rich. This guy turned out OK professionally. He didn't have to work, but he found something he wanted to do, and it fulfilled him. I think the company he started did well financially, too.

But his brother. This guy could not attach himself to anything. On one hand, he really hungered for something to absorb him. On the other hand, he seemed to think: what's the point? I'll never earn a zillionth of a percent of what I'm inheriting. He asked me about what I did, and I explained software development. He was immediately very interested, asked lots of questions, asked if he should retrace my steps (BASIC, punch cards, ... -- this conversation was many years ago). And then he never followed up. Years later I heard that he married a vegan (many years before that was a thing), and became quite zealous about veganism.
No, they'll continue beta testing new versions of the same junk on people willing to spend $2K for the privilege. Keeping my 2014 until they figure it all out.
I know that they had issues with the 2016 and 2017 models. I owned one.

But those issues were fixed in the 2018 one. Which is why they haven't needed to extend the warranty at all.
>As a person from the lower classes, I'm fine that people live like kings and I don't

>What I'm not cool with and despise is having the fear of homelessness and hunger held over my head so that I am forced to dance for my rich masters.

Being lower-class is a big part of my identity due to being the poorest kid in my class that I was aware of. Yet I grew up in a relatively well-off neighbourhood in a well-off country. I never went hungry. I never went cold. I even got a few luxeries like modern video game systems from well to do relatives. When I see the "We are the 99%" rhetoric it strikes me how much people focus on the few people richer than then and how little they focus on the many people poorer than them. I've looked at the numbers and in a world with perfect equality westeners would be poorer. There seems to be a lot of self-serving self-victimization with a lot of the fuck the rich rhetoric.

Yet I know that even if you aren't suffering grinding poverty being RELATIVELY poor on a local basis is really hurtful and isolating. It destroys you socially. You can't do what your peers can do and have to stay home. It makes you less attractive to the opposite sex. It hurts your quality of life. It limits your ability to change this. It makes it so merit becomes less and less connected to success.

I know that a lot of people even poorer than me are suffering. I know the people most able to afford to address these problems and those least needing for money are the wealthiest in society. I also don't see the growth of inequality as sustainable. We're at gilded age levels of inequality and things are still getting worse. It's going to lead to more and more social unrest.
