I interpret this post as primarily saying that the UI's display (as in what is fed to our input) should only be 2d, not necessarily the other way around.

However, doesn't facebook already optionally ask me where I live, birth date etc ? Come on, those are enough info to classify me as student/working/revenue/ etc, and these I give with my consent.

Here is a crazy thought I had. If you're poor and save a bit money you get less aid. So saving is meaningless. You are stuck in a feedback loop. But if you buy lottery tickets as a way of "savings", you either lose and get full aid, or you win big to achieve poverty escape velocity.

I'm not saying this is true for all poor people, but I wonder if it could be true for some.

Anyone have a link to some more detailed specs?

I do carbon fiber related design & fabrication, from molds to final parts. I could find a version of these immediately useful in my work in several ways, including logging work progress by camera/video/hyperlapse, logging notes with voice-text, quick lookup of material specs.

With some development, I could see display of correct sequence and orientation of layers, and really cool would be recognition of key points and dynamic display of exact placement of next layer of pre-cut material.

Good to see continued development.
My anecdotal experience agrees with your point. I'm a Brazilian living in UK, and have worked for 2 different big American companies (Dell Computers and Ford Motors). It's very obvious that, comparing to both Brazilian and British cultures, Americans appear to value confidence far more, to the point of coming across as bullish when you're not familiar with it.

Again, it's just my experience.

Radiologist here. Sorry to hear about about your wife's complications. Most radiology departments do participate in a peer review process as part of internal quality assurance. Not every report is necessarily peer-reviewed, largely due to time constraints (radiologists can read hundreds of mammograms in a day), and not all modalities are required to participate (I believe mammography is optional).

> given the rapid advancement in machine learning...

No trollin' -what do you see as the rapid advancements in machine learning? Like, say, in the last 2 years?
In SOLID there is S for "single responsibility", which in turn gives us simplicity on a component (class/object/file, depends on language) level but lead to complexity due to number of components. 100 tasks gives us 100 components, then software grows to 1000 and even 10000 tasks.

But then comes letter D for dependency inversion. This principle gives us back simplicity due to abstracting away any set of those components as meta-components like repositories, queues, services, factories and so on. This is about integfaces, e.g. contracts, as you call them.

My zealotry comes from about 30 years of writing and SUPPORTING code. SOLID code is harder to write, but much more easier to maintain. All those war stories about "business needs that feature week ago" comes from unmaintainable code, when you just cannot add new features by any other means except spaghetti with epoxy glue and nuts and bolts all around.

Business wants to move fast and break things. Our mission as software engineers is to create and maintain codebases solid enough (pun intended) to sustain years of development, pivots, M&As and whatnot.
> What is the percentage of influencers in the entire population of (active) users?

To an extent, everyone is an influencer: if you tell another person about an experience you had, you were influencing them. In other words, influence is an analog scale, not a binary switch.

As for how influence is distributed, influence is a secondary property of a person, that is to say that one's success at being an influencer is dependent on other secondary properties (skill at writing, photography/videography skills, etc.) and primary properties (sexual attractiveness being a big one).

Since it is a secondary property, the distribution will look like a logarithmic distribution (it may not actually be a logarithmic distribution, but the general shape will be correct, as opposed to a Gaussian distribution, for example).

Humans have extremely skewed perception of risks and rewards. As such, "more confidence" doesn't necessarily mean "overconfidence", but might actually mean "less underconfidence". For example, talking to strangers and/or crowds carries almost no actual risks, and has a lot of potential benefits. On the other hand, driving is quite risky, but we don't think twice about it...

But psychologically, most people have their perception anchored to the average behavior, so things that are actually rational (meeting strangers) appears as "overconfidence" and things that are actually quite reckless (driving, not exercising, eating sugar, drinking alcohol) we think of as "normal".
> they took an init system that was (mostly) written in a memory-safe language (bash) and rewrote it in a memory-unsafe language (C++)

While Bash is memory safe, it is also very error prone to write and the potential of shooting yourself in the foot with it is rather big, especially with bigger scripts and considering these are executed mostly with root privileges, bash is not an ideal choice either.

I'd prefer if systemd was a Rust project for sure, but they went with C, presumably to remain consistent with the kernel, GNOME and most lower-level Linux system software, (also, Rust was pre-1.0 at the time).
I've had a weird ride in my lifetime from upper-middle class => poor => lower middle-class => finally working my way back to upper. From that perspective, I wouldn't agree with either statement.

I wouldn't say I was ever discouraged from entrepreneurship, even at my lowest. But it did make the math a hell of a lot harder. When you're poor, there's always something more you can lose. Choosing between investing in your business or what you eat that week is a difficult decision.

What I would say is that those circumstances give you the motivation to find the clever, efficient solutions, and to make wiser, less risk-adverse decisions. I never wanted a startup that burned money just to get acquired. I wanted one that could make me real money from the very beginning.

Being poor raises the bar on the quality of the business you intend to create, because failure is worse for you than anyone else.
I apologize for my hostile tone before, I think you and I are on the same page. There does seem to be a lot of hand wringing about the ways thing are changing and little direction on what to do about it.

I am not a systemd skeptic, but I'm also not somebody who cares that much. (Which might seem at odds with this thread, but I'm in a lot of meetings today. ;) I use it and it gets out of my way. For me, it's fine.

I'm not qualified to judge the quality of the code in systemd directly; I've browsed it a little but I am a middling C++ programmer and while it hasn't stood out to me as smelly I would defer to more knowledgeable heads. I get the drive for very rugged underpinnings, and I'm on board with that; in things that aren't C++ I frequently am the one with the scalpels making criticisms similar to yours, so that totally resonates with me. I am not, however, convinced that any of the alternatives that currently exist are materially better, so I kinda shrug a bit? Further, it seems to me that the generally modular nature of systemd (regardless of how coupled one believes those separate modules to be) suggests that a determined programmer could probably build a drop-in replacement--Rust? Where's my Rust Evangelization Strike Force?--that plays nicely with it and grows to replace poor and soft design.

The social aspect you bring up is, to me, the most compelling argument against systemd (because monocultures aren't great in general, etc.--I think most people agree on that). Thing is, though, I think that that bottom-up consensus model was doomed from the start. I don't think it was ever going to be tenable as soon as there's any money in it. Red Hat wants consistency, their stuff is going to have consistency, you can use it or go off-roading.

I don't think there's a great solution aside from "build your own ecosystem and don't let it get capitalism.txt'd to death." Which is a deeply unsatisfying and impractical answer. And to be clear, people who feel strongly about it should do that. I'm not being snarky when I say that. I'm a pragmatist--if it's better, I'll use it, too, and submit patches if needed and when I'm capable. ;)

> Idlewords is arguing for legally enforced privacy rights, rather than consumer-led boycotts (or worse, non-organized individual picking and choosing of which privacy violations to tolerate).

The context seems consistent with that being the intended thrust of the argument, but its literal wording (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19962410):

> This is like saying in 1950 that companies will take the lead out of gasoline if we all stop driving.

seems to claim, not just that enforced regulations rather than consumer-led boycotts were the right way to address the issue of leaded gasoline, but that boycotts wouldn't have worked.

If your gloss is the correct one, then I find the argument much more plausible than a literal reading suggests.
> in most cities there are poor neighborhoods where rent is under $1000

Average income is about US$11000 a year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28no...

And most people make less money than that, because the distribution isn't symmetric.

The fact that "rent under $1000" seems low to you indicates that you live in a bubble.

It has to be a mix. Fully open isn’t great because you can’t make your space your own. You have to consider the entire rest of the floor or building. Give everyone private rooms and everyone works in isolation. This might look productive but I would argue it’s not: everyone has a physical barrier around themselves, they don’t even need to set boundaries any more.

But if you can give your teams a group space to themselves, they get the benefit of an open collaborative space between them without polluting the dynamics of other teams.

Rather than one open space, create that hotdesking area, then your large team rooms, and then scatter your generic meeting rooms and video call booths around so you can still opt for privacy.

This takes more effort but it is worth it. Your teams will generate subcultures of their own to make it easier (and more enjoyable) to work together. Give them that space.
I quite curious about your motivations and product, as I work on custom hotspot which is bigger enough that current offers are outside scope but also we have just the basic features and adding things like facebook login support and marketing info capture with the gpdr in mind are difficult to prioritize. Anyway, a full rewrite is always a complicated task as always are more things that what one thinks ahead, but good luck with it!

Rubio's not up for re-election until 2022, so he can push these left-leaning ideas to try and pull fringe leftists into the party. Later on near election season, he'll take the hard party line every time.

Most of this was historical in nature, which is fine but largely uninteresting to me at the moment. But I did perk up when I recognized one of the issues highlighted by an open floor plan in your home - noises not being contained to one area. For example, trying to watch TV while someone wants to get something done in the kitchen. My spouse and I do this to each other all the time. Someone wants to grind coffee, grab a snack or wash some dishes, but it makes hearing the precious TV so much harder!

This is true retrospectively, for anyone who it turns out really has the disease.

But studies show that prospectively (when you don't know if somebody actually has a given disease), the cost of preventative care - including follow-up tests and unnecessary treatments - exceeds the benefit that you outlined.

I'm from the UK where British politics is dysfunctional and rotten to the core. Politics is overstuffed with wealthy "upper class" individuals of breathtaking incompetence and a nasty, dishonest, duplicitous nature.

Well, that’s part of why there’s constant research into what risk factors / predictive factors are. These aren’t mutually exclusive activities.

“Data” implies something neutral. Nothing about lab tests is neutral. Without contextual information and studies on how to -interpret- a finding, it’s just potentially terrifying noise. And terror usually results in action. Poorly informed action is often harmful. So... we are trying to prevent harm to our patients.

We are earnestly working on all fronts to build the studies to better interpret these findings. But we just aren’t there yet.

Autonomous cars are part of the shift from cars, because they don't need street parking and can "loiter" offsite.

Urban plans for alternate modes of transit (scooters, bikes, etc) will massively benefit from street parking elimination. It's where the lanes can be safely placed.

Autonomous driving will revolutionize public transit. Uber isn't wrong about that, it's just that they are too evil to be trusted with it from a monopoly standpoint. Autonomous can solve last mile problems and centralize transit stations so that you don't really need bussing, and can concentrate on fast high capacity trains with "coarse grained" stations.
Good. Now perhaps China can't steal IP, and will have to come up with their own.
They won't try because the consequences for them could be disastrous. It's not even about how much money is in your bank account, though that obviously helps. It's more about how stable and reliable your support structure is. Without that the consequences of failure can be devastating.

I think it's dangerous to encourage people to gamble their lives on a low probability outcome if they don't have a strong network of friends and family to fall back on. If you have that, then go for it, but don't pretend that anybody can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and do what you did (I'm using the royal you here). That attitude is what the criticism is aimed at.

Conservatives use to be supportive of free market capitalism. But since the rise of Trump I increasingly see that their main platform is white nativism and weirdly argued protectionism.

The thing is -- you don't install printer drivers at all for Macs if they support AirPrint. Most consumer level printers do. Macs and iOS devices find printers on the network automatically and you can just print to them.
