You’re starting from a premise that doesn’t really work. In a common law system, you can’t completely “understand” the law. You guess at what the law requires, the judge evaluates the law in the context of what you did, and renders judgment based on everything from other judges’ opinions to statistical studies to the judge’s moral sensibilities. For example, we are currently debating in the US whether our workplace discrimination law covers discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Erudite analysis has been written espousing both sides of that issue. Can you say you “understand” that law? Yet, people are expected to follow it.

The relevant distinction is between what sources are binding and what sources are not. The statutory text is binding. Case law in the same jurisdiction is binding. The annotations produced by a private company, or private scholarship published in a treatise, are not binding.

How, exactly?

Why have we ended up here? Do you think it’s because the general population demanded cheap crap?

It’s the other way around.

Cheap crap is more profitable, hence a lot of its manufacturing have been off-shored decades ago to those willing to do it cheaper.

This cheap often unneeded crap is marketed as a dream and sold to an irrational population incapable of escaping evolution.

I keep saying this “collection” of what we call money is like a hoarding disorder.

Why keep collecting when I have enough that it cannot spent during several lifetimes?

Not sure what you mean by online. Do you mean distance courses?

I am based in the UK, and we have the Open University. I am currently taking a Mathematics and Physics degree with them.

The content is not directly equivalent to an undergraduate degree (probably around 40% of a normal undergraduate here in the UK). But they have lectures, assignments and examinations and you get a proper degree certificate at the end.

I have friend who is Spanish and he has been taking a distance Mathematics course with a Spanish University. That again seemed to be an excellent course (he is heavily into Category Theory).
> Secondly, if it were the case that Google would surface Zero Hedge over WSJ purely because of popularity is that ok? Is that what should happen?

Yes.

Obviously discard any SEO trickery. But if Zero Hedge is being cited more frequently, being chosen from search results more frequently, etc. then people have found it more helpful, and presumably other people would find the same.

The whole premise of democracy (both the form of literal governance and the general philosophy) is that most of the people are correct most of the time. There exist other algorithms to combine human opinion, but they are wrong more often.

Yes, most political pundits were wrong in predicting Clinton wound win in 2016. But I don't think it makes sense for Google to try and "manually" curate that.
Sure. My following question would be how do we then differentiate between healthy advertising an unhealthy one?

We can't abandon and block ads completely. If we did that, we wouldn't even get to be aware of products which might really make our lives better. How do we figure out the healthy balance out? I would argue that the current laws around advertising are pretty decent but they could be made better and adapted for social media platforms.

> If you get people fighting over straws which are some exceedingly small amount of overall ocean plastics and pollution, then no one's gonna pay attention to the real villains.

Plastic straws are a negligible fraction of plastic pollution, but they represent much more than that. Viral attention on plastic straws serves as a convenient lever by which the broader topic of environmental stewardship is pushed to the forefront of peoples' minds, indirectly achieving the goal of cleaning up the world. At least, that's what I hope, not what I expect.

Sure, some people will react with supercilious contempt at the hordes of selectively ignorant masses signalling virtue with their social-media images of strawless drinks. It's not like their personal choices are saving turtles, let alone the oceans. But this misses the point: the anti-straw campaign reminds entire populations that people collectively throw away too much plastic, and that things need to change -- at all levels, from the individual upward.

Struggling to understand the use case for this. I stare at my grocery receipts like everyone else, but it's to verify the prices I bought them at; sometimes I pick up an item that I think is marked on sale, when it's actually the adjacent item that's been discounted. As a whole, the bubble chart doesn't tell me anything. Meat costs more than an equivalent amount of fruit. Unless you're looking to go vegetarian for financial reasons, you're not going to learn much from that chart.

Splitting up items into a taxonomy is somewhat useful, but not when it only exists on a printed receipt that will go into the trash. It's also not that useful if you make multiple trips a week, as single people often do.

Finally, it's not useful at all if the categories are based on the company's SKU/ERP nomenclature, as opposed to a human-centric approach. If one brand of Ice Cream appears under "Eggs & Dairy" but another under "Confectionery/Bakery" what value do you get by having that itemized on a receipt?

Email already works as a decentralized identity, and basically de facto is our core decentralized identity platform in 2019. We've just failed to make some of the core experiences easier. The last best attempt at that was BrowserID/Mozilla Persona and that failed some key bits of buy-in and was shutdown.

The problem doesn't seem to be decentralized identity, but over-complication. Looking at the architecture diagram for this ION project it just looks like a labyrinth of cool tech for cool tech's purposes. Is the complicated labyrinth any more likely to gain user support/interest or solve user needs better than today's piecemeal solutions around email setup and verification?
I don't fully understand. Are you saying that in Switzerland it is illegal to have a group plan?

This is something I felt would actually help the US move off of Employer based insurance for a while now.

If every person is charged the same amount for insurance regardless of being in a group then we can more easily break from employer based insurance. Especially when I can see X job offers me 100,000 but pays 500 a month for insurance. And Y job offers me 110,000 but pays 0 a month for insurance. I can do the math on which one is better if both plans are the same.

Anyway I'd love for the US to ban group plans completely. In the digital age it should be easy enough to administer a large plan with individuals instead of a group plan. I can see why after WW2 a group plan might have been better to administer, but I think at least most of those benefits no longer exist.

Counting links isn’t a meritocracy, it’s a popularity contest. Those are not the same thing.

There is a reason that publications in Nature aren’t decided by Reddit votes, and it’s not because nobody can figure out how to integrate the two.

It’s a great way to see what the majority echo chamber wants to hear, but that’s not really a good way to have a well-informed population.

I find that it is usually the opposite. Devs who don't use big IDEs like visual studio are much more likely to know why things fail in a build pipeline etc.

If you can only build a project by bumbling through menus and pressing a big green button at the end, that is worrying.

If you can only debug by immediately jumping into the debugger and single stepping that is also worrying.

Devs who reach for the tools appropriate to a given situation inspire much more confidence in their abilities.

Why aren't average consumers in a position to evaluate the choices

How could a consumer be in a position to evaluate their physician (and the entire health care process)? The knowledge required is huge. Moreover, once you have an adversarial market situation where the competitors use any means available to present themselves well, the ability of the consumer to do these evaluations will further decline - after twenty years of ecommerce, determining if a random thing I buy on Amazon actually has value is still hard, still a crapshoot (I don't mind having to be careful buying a random thing on Amazon, that's reason tradeoff. For something that could threaten my life, it's not a reasonable tradeoff). But bad health care products and services can kill you.

The usual answer is "we'll find a third party to do the evaluating" but unless that's actually the state, at which point things pointless, you will still have all the corruption of today - insurance companies are the evaluators and aggregators of health care services but they ultimately can't control prices (they can limit services provided but aren't really limiting the price for the services - they don't have an incentive to do so since they take a cut of the services).

> Buy less stuff, travel less, turn down your heating/AC, eat less meat and dairy.

I'm going to repeat this again -- the vast majority of emissions are from industrial processes. Optimising the industrial processes to reduce emissions (as opposed to reduce costs) will result in emissions improvements.

Yes, in theory if the entire planet reduced its meat intake by 50% this would be a massive improvement -- but so would killing 50% of people. If your proposed solution to the problem is not viable from the outset you aren't proposing a solution, you're just deflecting blame.

Also -- contrary to popular belief, personal transport like cars (or commercial planes) are far from the largest emitters.

> Airline companies don't burn kerosene for the hell of it, they burn it because people keep buying plane tickets and keep shipping things by air freight. If we stop buying plane tickets and air freighted goods, they go out of business and so they stop burning kerosene.

Planes are actually more fuel-efficient than cars per-head. And planes are far from the largest polluters in "transportation" -- that would be trucks (especially older trucks that are under-maintained).

> The blame game over climate change is just blatant buck-passing.

You are buck-passing by arguing that it's the sole responsibility of the public to solve this crisis. Not corporations which knew about the effects of climate-change in the 60s and tried to hide it from the public and government. Not governments which are placating their donors by passing (or abolishing) milk-toast regulations to fix the problem.

I do my best to reduce my carbon emissions but that is not going to make any palpable difference.

If we wanted to go to war, then it would be the government's responsibility to organise the war effort. But if we want to stop humanity from going into war due to resource shortage all of a sudden it's about "personal responsibility".

This is a hugely important point. Google’s algorithm was genius at the size they were 10 years ago.

Today Google is the tail that wags the dog and a purely popularity based algorithm is more concerning.

However it’s also unquestionably true that Google results are not purely a popularity contest, and then the question becomes whose hand is on the tiller and which way is it steering?

Clearly in this case it is steering towards mainstream media outlets which all slant a particular way. This does not have a small impact.
