I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It's a very pedestrian friendly city, and frankly it's a pain to drive because of how freely people just wander into the street and cross with almost no regard. The law is pretty clear that pedestrians have the right of way and I see people stopped for not yielding to pedestrians ALL THE TIME. It's nice, especially between classes when hundreds of people may be trying to cross a street, that we are able to get to class on time and the one person in the car isn't going to mow us all over.
At bigger intersections there are walk lights, and people obey them for the most part, but the majority of campus and the city has crosswalks with stop signs or "yield to pedestrian" signs.
It's a path that pre-dates the EU. We're a crowded continent with a huge amount of diversity and a long and bitter history of war. We have learned through bitter experience that, while free speech is a precious right, it is also an extremely dangerous one in the wrong circumstances. Germans in particular are acutely aware of the disastrous consequences of allowing incitement to go unchallenged.

Free speech is not unconditional in the US; there are many things that an American could say that would see them brought before the courts. European nations have simply drawn the line in a different place, for entirely understandable historical reasons.

The best proxy for "interest in politics", specifically, would seem to be voter turnout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_the_United_St...

That data shows only modest changes since 1940, and no discernible decline in the last decade or so. If anything, turnout was lower in the 80s and 90s, slightly higher in the 60s.

Right, so let's get the news people, that already spread fake news, to verify whether it is true or not.

Don't worry. You can trust them.

I know I'm being sarcastic, but having news organizations decide if news is trustworthy is like a doctor trying to work on his own cancer, right?

I totally want that process to be in the hands of CNN, the same company that tried to dox a teenager over a Trump meme......
Well, being approachable is a benefit too. You don't want people thinking that you will take them through crazy interviews like Google does if that's not what you're doing, so again I'd say the answer is revealing more information about what your hiring process looks like.

Similarly for work hours - if you publish an uncommonly good salary range you better explain what you're expecting in return, in terms of work hours, vacation, etc., or else I might think you will work me to death especially if you have stereotypes going against you (east coast, gaming, finance industries, etc.)

---

Speaking of platforms and getting in front of the right eyes, consider presenting at relevant tech events and conferences. Your dev team will probably be excited to share some cool things that they're doing.

---

It is also possible that your offer is not as good as you think. Could your target candidate get a job at Google with significantly more pay, vacation, etc.? Consider offering them something that Google won't - remote work, 4 day work week, autonomy, etc.

---

Also, the platform you choose to advertise on has a lot of impact on how revealing more information is perceived.

For example, something like AngelList treats job offers like house listings, letting applicants filter by compensation, technology, industry, etc.

On a platform like this where it's routine to see compensation published, putting up a range that is 30K-50K higher than your competitors is exciting, not intimidating.

> Has anyone on HN attempted anything similar? Any advice on what worked well and what failed?

I used to be on the board of a local Hackerspace for couple of years. Hackerspaces are sort-of similar places, they encourage a lot of smart people to get together and tinker with stuff. However, in context of interdisciplinary exchange, due to the technology and community focus, there's way too many programmers and way too little beer involved.

And now they will. Both are at fault. Both have blame. But we're saying "Don't turn these kids into criminals. Push them to use their skills in a way that can help our society (ie: security researcher). They're still young enough that they can change. These aren't hardened criminals we're talking about. We're talking about kids.

tldr: Kids aren't adults. Who knew this was such a controversial topic?
Embr is a savage third-degree burn on the gig economy
The Republican party typically has been the party which favors the interests of businesses; governmental regulation of various industries (expensive and needless interference from their perspective) is anathema to them. Well, a law forbidding any of the various things protested under the banner of Net Neutrality does amount of the terrible bugaboo of Regulation. Therefore, It Must Be Stopped.

This is a bit of an oversimplification and the principles behind it are a bit more nuanced than presented here (regulatory capture is a thing and it can suck), but it's a good first approximation.

On a serious note, I played a lot of pinball growing up, it'd be nice to find some old favorites and new tables to play on.

My family actually fixed up pinball machines/arcade cabinets and resold them while I was growing up, so we had a bunch of them in the house.

If I had the space, and demand was still there, I'd probably have started doing it myself by now.
I remember reading about measuring stars with something other than light.

I think the accepted terms are "open source" (free software that may or may not be "copy left", eg: gpl, bsd, mit) and "source available" (proprietary, you can see the source, but not redistribute etc. This is a spectrum from old qmail ("no forks, verbatim copies ok) to tarsnap (code available so user can audit) and code available under strict NDAs (I believe Microsoft provided source to dod in order for dod to consider windows for secure systems, for example).
During the press conference, they said photographing the M87 black hole was like shooting a hibernating bear, and photographing the Sag A* black hole of our galaxy like photographing a quickly moving toddler. Something about the speed making it much harder. It is also much smaller, but that's less of a problem because it's much closer. All in all apparently making it about the same angular size. But it sounds like they'll get to it, it's just harder.

"It doesn't have to come together with an open development process, necessarily."

I think the amount people agree with this varies wildly.

There are plenty of people who consider it an attractive nuisance if it doesn't.

You don't have to look very hard in hacker news threads to find google/MS/etc getting blamed for occupying a space by doing this.

I really don't think you want to push the ethical angle - vscode was definitely not open sourced for ethical reasons as part of some grand altruistic gesture and to push forward a great ethos.
I was told that directly by the people who started it and made those decisions.
That isn't a statement that it was a secret evil scheme (it certainly wasn't), but those were just ancillary benefits, not the main goal.

I will leave alone the fact that your argument does not seem to have convinced MS in a number of places where there is no perceivable user benefit (see, e.g., the C++ extension) and it runs directly contrary to your claims, since you want to speak in a non-official capacity :)

Bottom line: I think this is a fairly simplistic view of the tradeoffs.

I'm certainly not exactly elucidating it in huge detail, but that's because i'm surprised people want to believe these are fairly simple issues amenable to a few paragraphs of analysis.
Logan Arcade has become a mecca for pinball/arcade enthusiasts as well.

The article proposes reasons such as interference and generally being nice to neighbours. I actually do this just to reduce RF radiation at microwave frequency in my environment due to potential long term health consequences. Research on this has lot of contradiction with most governments saying there is no impact but some saying there is adverse health effects due to long term RF exposure. Why to take chance when you don't have to?

Hell, I'm not convinced other people have the same thoughts and desires as me. They frequently express their desires to do different things. That must make them non-sapient, right?

On the other hand, my cat is quite capable of expressing his desire to be fed or have the window he likes to sit in opened.
The article summarized: Basically, for any given event, there may be two or more "whys" which feed into it, which in turn may have have two or more "whys" which feed into it.

We see this pattern in databases, where there are 1..n relationships out of something, or, in reverse, n..1 relationships into something.

The "5 Whys" described whys only as having a single cause feeding into each successive cause. This article describes the problem with that, which is simply that in the real world, a single result, a single "why", might have multiple (1..n) causes feeding into it, and multiples into those.

Now... get ready to have your mind blown... Here's the "problem" with this article (I know, this article makes more sense than the "five whys" alone, but hear me out!)

Think of "The Five Whys" as level 1 reasoning and this article as level 2.

Level 2 is smarter because it considers more.

So what's level 3?

Level 3 then, which I think will be discovered (or at least expounded upon by some person vastly brighter than myself), is using the level 2 method, and expanding that set of predecessor causes even more to everything in life, which theoretically should result in the observation that everything is circular.

That is, all events, causes and circumstances -- eventually feed back on themselves! Some to lesser degrees, some to greater degrees, but I think it will be discovered that all causes move in circular loops, even though the cause->effect->cause chain (or chains) might have thousands, perhaps hundreds of millions of elements...

I think the ancient Greeks (well, some of them, the enlightened ones anyway) had an understanding of this. I think that Shakespeare and Dante Alighieri understood this, at least in terms of the human character.

Consider Toyota... If Toyota is asking "why" some failure occurred and tracing it back 5 levels, then one might ask "Why does Toyota have to make cars in the first place?", because that sets the stage for all other "whys" that come next...

Eventually, with enough "whys", everything has to be circular... You just need to go enough why levels "deep" to see this. And some causes feed other causes to lesser degrees, some to greater degrees.

And I believe that people in antiquity who were men of great learning... somehow knew or intuited this... while not provable, it seems "logical"...

Loops inside of loops inside of loops... all with different loop lengths...

Similarly, for an evidence based investigation into routine 'scale and polish':

> Objective 1: Scale and polish versus no scale and polish Only one trial provided data for the comparison between scale and polish versus no scale and polish. This study was conducted in general practice and compared both six-monthly and 12-monthly scale and polish treatments with no treatment. This study showed no evidence to claim or refute benefit for scale and polish treatments for the outcomes of gingivitis, calculus and plaque.

I think it's the other way. If you pay a lot of money then you sort of can expect to get a degree at the end. When I went to school in Germany they made a lot of effort to weed out people. If it's for free you can't really complain but if you already have paid $100000 it's harder for the school to justify people failing the course.

He makes pretty good coding tutorials.
Actually not. M87 is a 1000 times farther away than Sgr A* but also a 1000 heavier and thus a 1000 times bigger in diameter. (Diameter/radius scale proportionally with the black hole's mass.) Therefore, the actual angular size on our night sky is the same for both black holes and, from this point of view, both would be equally difficult to observe.

However, as they mention in the press conference, Sgr A* moves a lot faster relative to us than M87, so it's much harder to take a still image. (In the press conference they used the example of trying to take a photo of a toddler with an exposure time of 8 hours.)

"I have a theory that news occurs with a far lower frequency than people think, far lower than even when people try to account for their knowledge of the 24 hr. news cycle."

I gave up Reddit for Lent, and I've been shocked how little news actually happens in a day. I compulsively check Apple News (I know, baby steps), but without all of the Reddit commentary, wise cracks, trolling, and mutually reinforcing outrage, it all just seems very repetitive.

"Yep, Barr still hasn't released the Mueller report."

"No, the House still doesn't have Trump's tax returns."

"Candidate X is too progressive/too moderate/too male/too old/too young to be the Democratic nominee, even though it's still almost a year before any Democrats can vote on them."

"Still no trade agreement with China."

"Trump makes hyperbolic claims about an action he might take, but doesn't actually take any action."

That seems to be the daily news summary every day for the past few weeks.
I already got your argument on why Amazon shouldn't get the "amazon." domain, what I still don't get is how those arguments don't also apply to "amazon.com."

> So when you say Amazon, a private company that won't be around forever, should get the amazon TLD you are creating a very weird situation where Amazon the company has cemented itself not as a company but just a thing that can be used to encapsulate other "things."

Right. And when one says Amazon should get the amazon.com SLD, we are creating a very weird situation where "Amazon.com Inc. P.O. Box 8102. Reno, NV 89507" has cemented itself as the only entity who can encapsulate all commercial activity in the world under the term "Amazon".

> Even despite the fact that Amazon the company named itself after the Amazon River which was named that way because of the amazon warriors.

Exactly. And the river has had plenty of commercial activity long before "Amazon.com Inc. P.O. Box 8102. Reno, NV 89507" came around. Why is it OK for that to be subsumed by "amazon.com." anymore than the rest can be subsumed by "amazon." ?

> Maybe, just maybe, amazon the private company shouldn't get to own that category? Since principally there is nothing to further classify the amazon TLD as belonging to amazon the company, and not say the amazon river. That's what .com is for.

But there's no "amazon the company". There are many, many companies called Amazon, or using the Amazon brand. If it's ok for a single specific instance of "amazon companies" to get "amazon.com", why is it not ok for a single specific instance of "amazon" to get "amazon." ?

> TLDs are for things, categories, high level groups. Not for trademarks.

Why should only TLDs be for that? Why shouldn't second-level (or even third!) domains be for that too? "Amazon.com Inc. P.O. Box 8102. Reno, NV 89507" could get "amazon.retail.com.us", for example. That would be more in line with how trademarks actually work.
That's a separate problem though. The solution for that isn't to do something at the level of the individual experiments, it's to do something at the agglomeration level where the trivial individual harms are actually accumulating.

If you have some food which is infected with salmonella, you don't pick it apart with a microscope at the level of individual cells and try to separate it back out, you just throw the whole thing away and eat something else.

In this context the contaminated food is Facebook.

The problem with this approach is that it does not generalize. You might think that if pilots just had this one piece of information, it would be obvious what's wrong, so let's provide that information. But if you apply that consistently to every system, the crew will be buried in notifications all the time, most of which are perfectly normal, and most of the rest are normal responses to the abnormal conditions produced by the actual fault.

Even in a space shuttle, the flight crew did not see most of the data, and NASA had a room full of engineers following the telemetry.

When you have less than a minute to save everybody, the last thing you need is something like an SQL explain result.

As far as I can see, people like the KKK and other White Supremacists have been and still are thoroughly discredited. The only countervailing force to that in 2019 is outrage driven media, produced by other extremist counterparts. If one's business is based on outrage, then you want an enemy to play off of, to generate a vicious circle of outrage and reaction and counter-reaction.

Do most people actually think of the "Ok" hand sign as a Nazi signal? Absent the media spamming this idea, I highly doubt this would ever have been considered anything more than a stupid joke by the mainstream. The reason it spreads, is precisely because it acts perfectly as viral outrage clickbait.

Also, the counterparts on the Far Left also seem to demonstrate the truth of this, through their use of smearing tactics and de-platforming. If anything, they seem to fear the disinfecting qualities of sunlight, the most!
