Hopefully we go back to forums, where the format is more conducive to conversation rather than snarky one-liners and memes.

This whole nested comment format becomes completely unreadable once you have more than two people involved in a comment thread, and the fact that submissions can't survive more than 36 hours guarantees that no deeper conversations would ever happen even if the comment format could support them.

On forums, there are discussion threads that last for years and the format makes them much easier to read from start to finish.

I think very differently about this.

I’ve rarely encountered a problem where there wasn’t enough time to consider alternative solutions before taking it to my manager. Also depending on how long a manager has been managing, there’s a non trivial chance the worker have more intimate knowledge of the implementation space than the manager, especially if they’re a developer or worker who has ownership over the task.

Granted it is a personal thing for me. I was told this in ROTC over a decade ago and I’ve never had a manager actually demand this of me. I’ve always imposed it on myself.
I have a bad opinion of churches as my abusive father was quite a fan of them, and would in fact diagnose my siblings as I as possessed by demons and use this as an excuse to slap the shit out of us, torment us until we cried, etc. None of his church friends gave a damn or lifted a finger to help us.

A cautionary tale on how this is likely to turn out:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Foundation

> Part of a reef, normally a metre below sea level at high tide, was piled high with sand and a small stone platform was erected carrying the flag of the Republic of Minerva—a white torch on a blue background. The 'President of Minerva,' Morris Davis, declared at the time: "People will be free to do as they damn well please. Nothing will be illegal so long it does not infringe on the rights of others. If a citizen wishes to open a tavern, set up gambling or make pornographic films, the government will not interfere." Tonga’s claim to the reef was recognized by the South Pacific Forum in September 1972. A Tongan expedition was sent to enforce the claim, arriving on 18 June 1972. The Flag of the Tonga was raised on 19 June 1972 on North Minerva and on South Minerva on 21 June 1972.

My sense is that people mostly just don't want to hear or think about the sometimes messy way that things got to be the way they are (I saw "-2 points" when discussing this a few months ago, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19626519 ).

But it's not, if by that you mean the particular “reactionary” figured mentioned in that paragraph, the criticism of whom in that paragraph is of he same tenor as that of public intellectuals of different political stripes in the paragraphs preceding and following that one (the next begins, “But it’s not just the conservative public intellectuals who are slacking off...” Your thesis seems to be based entirely on taking that paragraph out of context and pretending it is the secret central point of the article, when it is clearly not, and comes off as the kind of knee jerk defense of those figures (particularly Peterson) common from certain corners of HN.

The actual central criticism of the article is made explicitly later, standardly enough in the two paragraph conclusion which also includes a resolution as well as a criticism; the main criticism being not focussed on any one political leaning, “The individuals who have since become symbols of thought — from the right (Christina Hoff Sommers) to the left (Roxane Gay) — are overrepresented in the media, contravening the original definition of their role as outsiders who spur public action against the insiders. In a capitalist system that promotes branded individualism at the expense of collective action, the public intellectual becomes a myth of impossible aspiration that not even it can live up to, which is the point — to keep selling a dream that is easier to buy than to engage in reality.”

For me the opposite of boredom isn't apathy, but more a kind of freeing your mind from any entertainment needs. If the need vanishes then there's also no pain.

> It feels more like a learned helplessness than improvement.

Needing entertainment is IMHO a lot more a learned helplessness.

You make good points. I used major publishers like McGraw-Hill, J. Wiley, Springer Verlag, etc. for the first ten books I wrote. You really give up a lot of control over subject matter. I now use Leanpub, write whatever I enjoy writing about. I pitch the advantages [1] of writing to people I know, and usually suggest writing one or two books with a publisher and after that self publish.

[1] largest advantage is getting to meet and get to know really interesting people. I enjoy writing but being an author also opens up a lot of opportunities.

National Security Study Memorandum 200
Starting with the caveat of “not all churches”, but it is a very common trend.

Churches have a weird entry criteria - you have to believe in their god (which can be offensive when it’s phrased like “you are incapable of handling your own life, leave it to God”). And if you don’t, you’re silently and persistently pressured into making that conversion, with a healthy dose of pity for you and your sinful ways.
The religion itself presents God as doing good; pagan religions don't have such framing, thus the classification "morally ambiguous."
Comparing planes to cars is slightly silly. One cannot drive across the Atlantic and it’s quite possible to fly much farther in a year than drive.

Flying e.g. 6k miles is reasonably easy to do in a year. I think it is easy to not think about the impact as it all happens in a few gos.

Driving 6k miles takes a long time and would be felt more acutely. It is easier to switch to cleaner forms of energy for this travel and one may be more inclined to reduce this energy usage as it is also a huge time sink.
But wait, what about Stripe Radar?

I think there can be an aspect of racism, but I don’t think it’s the main driver.

People want to keep their thing “theirs”.

There are also questions, valid or not, about co-opting and appropriation. If we use some of these metrics then aspects of other minority interest groups can be also seen in a negative light.

In all cases, racism can be an issue with a minority of the people in these groups who make the experience for outsiders (and some insiders) unpalatable to say the least.

I don't think there is a law against eating cheese while pregnant, though. Not even drinking alcohol seems to be illegal?

Everybody is free to google and make up their own mind.

Not sure about the listeria, btw, if the risk is simply higher for embryos, or if the concern really is a general listeria infection like any adult could get?

Maybe you don't hear a lot about listeria infections because for non-pregnant people it is not a big deal that would be newsworthy?

Depending on the parents, even small risks to the unborn may be deemed unacceptable. Like a three in thousand risk of miscarriage? I've seen many doctors recommend a blood test with those risks, and many parents deciding against it because of the high risk.

To me personally, a risk of 1:1000 of dying would seem rather extreme, too. I guess it depends on how you think about unborn life.
In theory you are correct. In practice very few systems are set up so that two different people can share an account without using a shared password.
My guess (pure speculation) is that they won't manually check most social media accounts indicated on the form, but will automatically check the provided info against (and add the provided info to) some intelligence community database. Then they'd manually check any cases where security concerns are flagged by that database or otherwise.
> Firstly, which law would they have been breaking if they had not blocked Huawei, given the subsequent guidance they have been given?

Well, they seem to have reversed the restrictions; but it's not crazy for their lawyers to hold things up a bit while they figure out if what they're doing could land them in trouble. As an IEEE member, I kinda expect them to be a bit careful about breaking the law.

> And secondly, which universe do you inhabit? Companies and organisations break the law and get away with it in this one with monotonous regularity.

So you're saying that... corporations, including non-profits, should knowingly risk violating the law because... sometimes corporations get away with small fines for doing similar? I don't get it. I also don't get why you're being so hostile.
good for you! thanks for sharing!

> As soon as there were raster CRTs, there wasn't much of a technical reason for light on black.

This isn't entirely true; many CRT-based terminals have phosphors that dim slowly. If they used a black-on-light color scheme, the letters would be washed out a for a lot more time than light-on-black. Light-on-black hides other defects more (like a not-quite-centered horizontal and vertical hold) and may possibly use less power (since the electron gun is off for more time).

Yes, because they tend to go straight down the tube because when you socialize gains and privatize losses people don't do more than the minimum they can get away with.
> Unfortunately a lot of the pagan and related spiritual movements are being coopted by white supremecists.

So have other religions. Millions of people use Christianity (especially the evangelical sort) as an excuse for their white-supremacist behavior. The intersection of religious and ethnic-supremacist beliefs even exists among some Muslim and Hindu adherents. I'm sure I could find other examples, despite the fact that most religious people practice their respective faiths with peace and respect toward others.

So I'd say don't feel bad about it. The more counterexamples there are, the weaker the white-supremacists' excuse becomes. If you want to honor your own heritage without denigrating others', more power to you.
