I think you misunderstand Brasess' Paradox. It is when adding to a system decreases the efficiency of the system by adjusting the Nash equilibrium to be further from the optimal system wide solution. "Reducing congestion increases congestion" is a not a logical statement.

My comment left the possibility of Brasess' Paradox open in the specific Detroit case, but practically speaking commuter trains are used by most major cities worldwide as part of a comprehensive transportation system. For many cities rail is among the most efficient subsystems of their transportation system.
I love that story. In fact the whole Jargon File is a great source of elder geek lore. Another good source is http://www.folklore.org/ for tales of the original Mac development team.

This seems like a space that could always use an improvement. What are the benefits of a tool like this over something more popular like Airflow?
This feels kinda sketchy tbh... Fresh HN account with just this posted, fairly high rate of upvotes for what seems to be a mundane and vague product, link to a mailchimp page (usually used for email marketing) rather than an actual site, I couldn't find this link shared anywhere else, and as you say, no mention of who made it.

I signed up with a disposable email and didn't get anything. I'm getting slight vibes of someone trying to harvest HN user emails because this product seems so generic lol. Phrases like "Finding trends", "Predict time series data", "Something Awesome is Coming Soon", and "No limits to what you can do" seem... not like phrases an actual AI startup would use.
You are missing the point of the original article. It’s about Facebook censoring content based on words. That is not going to stop people from acting in reprehensible and violent ways.

Quite the dismissive mention of going 'back to the basement'. I work from home almost all the time (self-employed), and have quite a lovely work room setup exactly how I want, with plenty of natural light and fresh air. My wife knows not to bother me, so the only 'forced' interruption is our cat asking to be taken outside. There is no unnecessary noise or distractions, both things which have always put me off co-working spaces. If I want to socialise with respect to tech, I'll go along to a local meet-up or other event.

This might sound terrible, but I don't want to expend each days' stack of valuable clear-minded 'processing time' greeting people or talking about whatever is on their mind. Of course, I acknowledge that as a solo guy I have different needs to the people that find these places useful.

There's no reason the scale needs to be the same when comparing measurements in totally different dimensions.

The weight is roughly a volume measurement while the neck size is a linear one. Also, if the necks were measured in inches, you'd end up at roughly the original chart, even being mindful of the scaling on each axis.

I think the left chart is actually the better one. It does a good job showing the correlation between neck size and weight.
>will be often be outdated and useless in a few years.

Often it's "useless now and outdated in a few years". It's amazing how much software today justifies its existence through a weird self-referential loop that isn't connected to solving any problems outside of itself. Complex tools to manage complexity and so on.
because you can still benefit from collective bargaining power even if you see yourself as personally superior to your peers.

Not to mention that this is a somewhat terrible attitude to be honest. A lot of 45 year olds might have legitimate disadvantages compared to younger workers. Like say children, health issues, other commitments that keep them from being as flexible as someone in their youth.

So this isn't just an individual issue, it's a collective one. A little bit of looking out for each other rather than treating this like a olympic competition probably wouldn't hurt. And it's probably what got us into this situation to begin with.

This action doesn’t have an impact. If one thinks racism will erode because Facebook redirects one to a page imploring one to not hate, then I don’t think one has been on the receiving end of racism at all.

If anything..driving free speech..however hateful..to dark recesses with only a willing or curious audience ...and without the judge mental and opposite view in the public..will only make the situation worse. Nasties multiply faster when they are not witnessed.

On a simple level, think of an ocd monologue about whether your malaise is flu...vs checking with a doctor and he declares you ill(or well). Being witnessed is a huge deal. It affects people’s opinion of themselves.

It is well known that we behave better when we know we are being watched.
I've recently "seen the light" as well. Had been forced to work from home due to an injury - and it's pretty great. The PC setup is what I make of it. My chair is the one I like, not the allocated one. The coffee I drink is of my own choosing.

And there aren't any interruptions or work noise or being face to face in meetings with people I don't like.

Well, of course you're correct. But the market is usually rational, and to the extent that it is not so, it generally corrects itself relatively quickly. Now, it is possible that this is one of those cases where that isn't happening, but we should require fairly strong evidence to believe that. That evidence has not been provided in this case.
>I also wonder how much of the perceived age discrimination is due to expectations of an ever-increasing salary.

Expectations on whose part? Based on what I read here on HN, many employers don't want to even interview older applicants because they are just so sure that any older person is going to demand too much money.

Apparently the Shuttle is one of the most comfortable rides in the world - as there are three layers of suspension (train carriage, carriage-vehicle mounting, and vehicle suspension) between you and the rails beneath.

When I was doing a training exercise in the military, I was talking to an Air Force General who told us that their best cybersecurity officers had undergrads in non-tech fields. They said that computer science and software engineering undergrads weren't good at thinking outside the box because they were used to questions being provably right or wrong with no middleground. Their officers with political science, philosophy, or other humanities undergrads were better at handling big picture problems that needed a "best" answer, not necessarily a verifiably 100% correct answer. They needed more technical training after graduation, but usually ended up being superior cybersecurity officers.
Thank you for sharing this, it highly encourages me to embark on a similar journey.

> Are you suggesting that groups like the daily stormer, the national policy institute, etc. are not organized political groups? The national policy institute is quite literally a lobbying organization.

Facebook's announcements do not specify these groups in particular, and do not seem to indicate that its definition of "white nationalism" and "white separatism" will be nearly as clearly defined as banning recruitment to the Caliphate.

> Like I said, if I were being confused with a white nationalist with any regularity, I would take steps to correct that perception, perhaps by trying to understand why people think such things. Through conversation, directly, with those people, or on my own with research. Not by trying to appeal to some higher ethics that the people who think I might be a white nationalist are wrong.

> Something about everywhere you walk smelling like shit and all.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but calling people white nationalists almost certainly isn't going to change their views. Quite the opposite, all it accomplishes is lessens the severity of these terms and makes it such that people roll their eyes when they see the label thrown around. And it further alienates people like me, who do support immigration and affirmative action etc, but are increasingly turned off by the every diminishing threshold at which terms like these get thrown around. Furthermore, it makes it even harder to distinguish between actual white nationalists and legitimate views that people are trying to make socially acceptable by painting them with the white nationalist brush.

Something about crying wolf and all.

I think you might be misconstruing a "constitutional right". In the US the 'free speech' right has been understood to be political speech, not anything you happen to want to say. Want to complain about government, fine, want to tell people how your previous company achieves the results they do? You can legally be constrained from doing so with an NDA. Failing to do so can result in hefty civil penalties (aka paying cash, not particularly jail time). It can get pretty nuanced and I'm not a lawyer so I really can't speak authoritatively on the topic, but it has been litigated many times and found to be both legal and constitutional.

Most people sign two contracts with Google, the first when they join which says what they agree to not do while employed, and another when they leave which says what they agree to not do when they leave. If you are in a "protected class[1]" you are more likely to see the exit contract than if you're not.

You can choose not to sign it of course, but unless you're really pissed off and planning some sort of legal action, signing is the polite thing to do and it keeps everyone friends. In a world where your friends can help you and your non-friends can hurt you, having more friends is never a bad strategy.

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned policing patriotism. You can be as patriotic as you want. America’s great, I love our nation, it’s people, culture, and ideals.

That’s different from saying things like “get that Spanish off the menu, this is America”, “go home foreigners”, and “immigrants are criminals”.

I’m sure you can see the difference.

Granted, the reaction of my older co-worker has demonstrated (albeit in only one instance) that this assumption does hold true.
I know it doesn’t sound like it but I consider myself a fairly principled person. Ruthless is a deliberately suggestive word I chose to drive home the extent to which I believe it’s necessary to self-optimize. I did not mean for it to imply ‘amoral’ or that a person should devote all their time to the pursuit of money.

My intent was simply that people should never be deluded into thinking that the fluff like emotional appeals, a company’s ‘mission’, a startup posturing as a family, internal propaganda, etc are things that really matter. If you are exchanging your time for money, my opinion is you should always get to the heart of what’s important: “What’s in it for me?” Related questions: “Can this business be successful?” “What are the true (non-bullshit) hard numbers that underpin this business?” “Will I be compensated according to the value I’m creating?” “What’s the value of the career capital I’ll get out of this?” My experience is that a good number of modern tech companies will leave the answers to these questions deliberately opaque.

Ideally you also avoid working for unprincipled organizations that are rationalizing bad behavior. But that’s not always feasible because it could imply a high opportunity cost. For example, having seen it from the inside, Facebook is in my opinion a shitshow. They will do absolutely anything that isn’t outright illegal (including things that would seem blatantly unethical to a neurotypical person) to pad their bottom line. But they pay well and it looks good on your resume.

And that tragic cycle of ‘do shitty things -> make more money -> grow -> hire more people -> repeat’ is the dumpster fire we’ve collectively chosen to base our society on. ‘Hate the game not the player’ more or less captures how I feel about all of this.

We sometimes render different HTML to handle browser and device behavioural variations, including FOUT-management variations in how they load assets that therefore can't be handled in JS even if we wanted to.

Sure they do. They're just slower at it. I've seen plenty of established companies jump on React bandwagon right after jumping off Angular, for example. One year and the "new" framework is thrown out of the window. (But all the software written in it remains and creates maintenance liability.)

Funny thing is, more often than not they don't even need SPAs in the first place.

> Generally from those who have decided that their job is to find ways to be offended by everything.

You know, I never understood why people trot this idea out so often. It's so irrational.

If people were rational, they would say "hmm, X doesn't offend me, but many people say that X offend them; perhaps they have a point."

Instead, only those who are incapable of understanding their own confirmation bias say "All these people say that X offends them; how silly."

I think this is a highly irrational take.

The better take would be: "Some people seem to be offended by everything; other people are not. What are the principal factors of a person that go into predicting 'will this person be offended by X'?"

> Delirium in intensive care units is extremely common

For some people a fever is enough. Somewhere in the region of 39C I start having what I can best describe "emotional hallucinations" or "hallucinations of the mind's eye." There is nothing sensory (auditory, visual, physical) in the classical sense, but I know that something is there and it is terrifying (even though I have always been aware that it's a hallucination).

I had an unknown parasite, distantly related to Malaria, for two weeks as a child. This was just enough to push me into delirium. I "hallucinated" a black hole in my room, not one the size of my room, but real stellar proportions and gravity. I also hallucinated a radio chasing me around. I never saw, heard or felt either of them, I just knew that they were there, and were not there.

I've had wildly vivid dreams ever since. They are blandly authentic. Some of them would probably make great movies. Every night I hope I have one of those dreams, but they are becoming less and less frequent.
"Maybe what's more important, is that the F-15X is being designed specifically to slot directly into the USAF's deeply established F-15 infrastructure, even down to seamless pilot conversion.

This anti-inflationary nonsense is the antivax of the finance world. There’s a huge reason it’s done essentially universally, but nobody alive had to live through the chaos that inflationary monetary policy was borne from.

It’s fine to think that there might be other, better approaches to solving those problems. It’s fine to argue that central banks might not always act with the best interests of the economy at heart. But pretending like those problems weren’t real and that we don’t need any of it—as the financially-illiterate cryptocurrency community seems to do—is absurd.
