A former workplace of mine mandated that no-one was allowed to use re-usable coffee mugs at all. This was done because of the mass of dirty, moldy cups that seemed to fill every kitchenette in a multi-floor building.

The business was a media organization and it seemed to me like reporters were the worst culprits.

The company provided styrofoam cups which were consumed at a enormous rate, and this was deemed to be a better solution than trying to get journalists to rinse their cups.

Annoying how the article is illustrated with different Instagrammers than those cited in the article.

This Instagram thing operates at different levels, I live near a popular photography spot for selfies due to the awesome view. That isn't going to ever become unpopular. However, 5 - 10 years ago you wouldn't have had people doing selfies there with the posing that goes with it. People would have once taken a picture of the view, not a picture of themselves that just so happens to have the view in the back. This is what has changed with Instagram and social media. What was people's outlet for this casual narcissism before?

Humans have historically had an inherent bias in thinking that we as a species and everything around us is somehow special, only to later discover that it was never true all along. For example, for a long time we've thought that we are the only species that have intelligence, language, emotions, morality, culture, ability to use tools, etc. Also see tribalism, racism, nationalism, geocentrism, or the fact that a significant number of people until a few years ago (when we finally were able to get evidence) didn't think that there were many planets in the universe (i.e. our solar system was special). Or perhaps they thought that our planet was particularly unique in the universe due to having its orbit in the habitable zone. I'm sure most people thought that our sun was special too (they didn't think think that stars were suns), until a few centuries ago. I wonder if there is a name for this bias (I bet there is but I can't recall ATM).

> Allowing people to drive like crazy until they get into an accident is a formula for normalizing very unsafe behavior.

No, it isn't, because if they get in an accident you hold them responsible, and when their insurance company finds out the accident was the result of driving like crazy, they either drastically raise their rates or terminate their policy altogether. Plus it would be perfectly reasonable for the state to revoke their driver's license if they caused an accident due to driving like crazy.

The problem with the system we have today is that (a) we punish people who have not caused harm, and (b) when people do cause harm, we are hesitant to hold them responsible to the extent I described above. Lose your insurance and your license because of one accident? Wow, that seems really harsh. Do they really deserve that? My response is, if they really were driving like crazy, then yes, they do deserve that, because they should have known better. But our current system doesn't seem to like taking that position.

> Nominally "perfect" hardware support

With the decline of Apple hardware, this is less true, and modern Linux hardware support is, at worst, no worse than what other OSes provide, in my experience.

> Navigable by non-experts, even when things turn to shit

I think the "Closed Box Philosophy" of Apple either defines or disproves this: Non-experts can't be tripped up by having to fix things... because nobody outside of Apple can fix things, eh? Can't screw up something you're not allowed to do.

That's not true. That is, if you're talking about the HN software, it does nothing like that. Ranking algorithms don't look at karma. Karma is used for things like spam filter exemptions and turning on flagging (at > 30) and downvoting (at > 500).

Trained staff, health inspectors and dishwashers solved all of this.

Some friendliness on the part of the establishment as well as good judgement on the part of the employees are enough to gloss over size differences in cups. Most travel mugs you see are going to largely conform to your typical to go cups, and nobody really bats an eye at filling a 14 oz cup and charging it as a 12 oz instead of a 16 oz, but if you fork over a 48 oz monster sized mug, you’re probably going to be charged for more than the large cup size and should expect it. How much more depends on the establishment, but at my old job I probably would have charged you for two 20 oz cups and not given a crap about the spare 8 oz, and if I had to answer to my boss, then most likely he would say he would have done the same.

It’s more important to cultivate good customer relations than to nitpick about exact cup sizes. You want repeat, regular customers giving you a constant revenue stream and you’re not going to get that by interrogating them on precisely how much coffee fits in their damn travel mug.

Tell me about it. I can usually find name-brand running shoes for under $80 on clearance, but many models are just garbage that will fall apart after a few dozen miles. La Sportiva or New Balance? Mostly good. Salomon? Hit or miss.
I use a keep cup. Its similar to a gas station coffee cup but pretty easy to clean and is light weight. It has a nice little lip cover to prevent spillage when I'm carrying it around. Its also helped around the house with dishes. Its my coffee cup and its easy to move around. I always keep it close by.
So let's say I purposely choose to avoid living in areas that don't have a large percentage of a certain minority on the basis of very alarming statistics.

Am I an evil racist for putting my individual life and my family's over the ideal of equality?

Note I've been homeless before and that experience exposed me to how people act without a system of 24 hour media propoganda to skew the view of such behavior. It doesn't mean that I paint bona fide individuals with stereotypes but when I'm dealing with aggregates...well call me an evil racist. I'd invite you to put your ideology to the test in a situation where it gets stretched to the point of counter-factual absurdity.

> The problem to solve is that no one wants to carry a cup around for longer than necessary. Buy, drink, dispose.

This is a cultural problem. Women carry around handbags that are jammed to the brim with junk. Men don't generally carry handbags at all. There is no place to put a cup.

In Japan there are virtually no trashcans and people are culturally taught not to litter, so everybody has to carry their trash home with them. There is even a movement to disallow workers from using trash bins at work! When I worked at the local high school, I was forced to take all my trash home at the end of each day.

In that kind of environment, you naturally start to carry bags to store stuff until you can get home. Now I have a handbag that I carry with me everywhere. Usually it contains my wallet, my cell phone, a cloth shopping bag and any garbage I happen to have. It's pretty normal here, I think. If reusable drink containers were available, I don't think it would be long until all bags had "cup holders" in them.

But first you need to have a "take your trash home" culture. It's taken Japan decades to make that work. It's not impossible, but it takes time.

"whenever inequities get addressed"

The whole point is not that people are upset over 'inequities being addressed' - it's that they do not necessarily feel that their are true inequities.

The choice of your words kind of indicates the bias in perspective, not that it's wrong, but those words might be 'talking past the other' in the issue.

From the article: 'a picture of a yellow person was still interpreted as white'. Well, so what? Is that really an 'inequity'? Who was perceiving it, why, and does it actually matter? Maybe it does, but there's a good chance that it does not.

A 'yellow man in work outfit' - this is gendered, surely, but we live in a gendered world. Is it sexist? Possibly but probably not. We could put a woman, surely, but then what about non-binaries? Intersex? Transgender?

It's probably worthwhile to have the discussion - but I'm afraid this discussion will not end. Case and point, a Guardian article I read recently demanding an end to the notion that 'family is two people with 1+ children'. Reasonable. So then how do we integrated this into emojis?

The line has to be drawn, and wherever we draw it, it's going to be a little bit arbitrary and exclude some.

We're all a little special and irrespective how how normative we may be in one context, we're not in another and that's that. (Saying this is a waspy male who's been an immigrant/minority in a few places including where I live now).

We see portrayals of people every day - it doesn't mean that these portrayals are politicized or represent anything.

FYI - the article refers to kind of a reduced concern among pop culture, which I think is partly what I'm getting at - this venture is getting a little pointless to most people, even 'allies'.

We can be nice and reasonable people and still move on without being in a permanent culture war.

All those points are fine, but they're all yes-buts.

— I mean, first-party GNOME applications are as consistent as

Straight-up disagree. It all depends what your threshold of UI/UX consistency is. Unfortunately most open source enthusiasts have a low threshold. It is difficult to convey the importance of a thousand subtle details, each one impossibly trivial, but the sum total moves mountains.

— I'd like an example, not really sure what you're talking about here.

An example: If my aging father's Mac turns to shit, he can hold down R, boot up the computer from the recovery disk and restore from a Time Machine backup that he himself set up with no assistance required from anyone.

— The graphics drivers on macOS are very poor.

That's really a marginal opinion. Maybe if you're an OpenGL developer. Apple provides an excellent framework (Metal) which works brilliantly. Yes it would be great if Apple delivered first-class support for Vulkan, but complaining about OpenGL is last decade's problem.

— colord works just fine for me

It's increasingly robust at handling the basics, yes.
I wonder how their feelings might change when the maintenance costs come home to roost, when their frequent driving involves them in an accident their insurance company refuses to cover (because they have personal use insurance), and now they have neither car nor job, etc.

Basically, it seems to me that there is a lot of deferred cost and risk and that people are, in general, very bad at assessing. Perhaps the job is not worth it if you factor in these long term factors, but most people have not yet had to factor them in. (As our OP said, data would be nice here. When do these costs come home for drivers? What do they say then?)

One thing I will say. Professionalization and licensure certainly brings its own hazards, but one thing it almost always does is drive up wages for the licensee. The taxi market in NYC is wacked out, but taxi drivers can usually enjoy a decent standard of living in major metros with licensed taxi systems.
That's what I was afraid of. Thank you, though. I do feel super bad about it now.
> what a bad idea the phone charger thing was

The correct approach there would have been telling the industry to get their shit together and agree on one standard (and then mandate that, not "that or an adapter" like what they let Apple get away with), under the threat that otherwise they'll make a standard for them.
It's a shame how true this is. My wife went through three pairs of Nike shoes -- all of them were over $100 and they caused bruises and wounds on her feet. I have a pair of Nikes as well that is one of their higher end shoes, and even they are extremely uncomfortable to wear for walking.

As an aside, Payless Shoes also has bittersweet memories for me. When I was young, I didn't fully comprehend what shopping there meant because I was in my own filter bubble -- growing up in the American midwest. Now, I feel conflicted and judged and out-of-place after having a few lucky breaks that enabled me to break into tech and live in the Valley. It didn't even click to me until recently the real connotations of shopping at these kinds of places. I really appreciate being able to shop at Nike, and wish I could go back in time and keep some of my original self-confidence of being able to wear Payless Shoes in a tier-one city free of judgment.

Popular music had its moment like this in the sixties, with albums like Sgt. Peppers— suddenly all that activity in the studio became less about reproduction, and about creating _a_ production. The final audio that was listened to by consumers was not something that had ever been performed and might not even be performable. All that filtering and multi-tracking might or might not constitute inserting "imperfections", but it's definitely creating something well above and beyond what was actually played live in front of a condenser mic.

Nowadays we take all this for granted, when even rom-coms go through extensive computer work for colour correction to change the time of day, and other digital additions/removals. But I think at the time it was a big deal.

I think it's mostly this.

(These are a few of the stereotypes anyway.)
