It’s because concepts are just dimensions of information, they don’t always have a physical representation, you can associate and create different levels of abstractions, have different views, sort of like an OLAP cube. You’re doing this all the time, consciously or not, you’re deciding on abstractions that cross cut problem domains. The author touches a bit on it, where he talked about zooming in and out for example to the right level, those are dimensions of the data beyond 3D, or wanting good code to visually look a certain way is another dimension. So those are possible in his model, but you can imagine needing say a function to be in two places at the same time since it’s related to two pieces of code, but you don’t want to duplicate it or draw lines cutting across the diagram to show this. The mind has no problem with say a function being in two places at the same time but not duplicated, but obviously this is impossible in the physical model.
If you recognize that racial supremacy goes hand-in-hand with the imperialistic expansionism of Nazi Germany and Japan, I think it's fairly apt descriptor of one of the major causes of the war.
"They came for the Nazis and I protested. Then they came for me and it was the Nazis."

Tolerating extreme views is okay as the price for freedom of speech. It does not mean large platforms are obligated to give them megaphones. Some kinds of speech do cause harm far beyond someone getting angry at someone else's views.

What kind of world do we live in where using a free service and agreeing to explicitly documented T&Cs doesn’t constitute acceptance?

“You provided a contract, and I agreed even though I chose not to read it (despite you providing it), and used the service, but I didn’t really mean to agree” is the most ridiculous cop-out, in my view.

I applaud any effort towards deradicalisation, but we need to work towards transparency. My gut reaction to the college board instituting an adversity score, was that it would’ve disproportionately impacted a guy like me growing up, but I’ve since come to realize that I’d prefer one entity with a transparent methodology tackling the problems instead of each institution, like Harvard, having an opaque system of their own.
I feel like this could have profound implications on a macro level, but I’m not sure what.
"Real personal income, adjusted for the effects of inflation, is expected to grow 2.9 percent in 2019 and 1.9 percent in 2020, the economists predicted."

No indication of whether or not this accounts for housing pricing increases. My guess is that it does not, which is a big factor for potential workers here in CA. In many cases, wages are rising, but not actually any faster than true cost of living in places people actually want to live, so the net result is not great.
I'd be willing to say Islamic extremism is worse than white supremacy.
The whole point of the law was to allow the websites an option between "total prevetted lockdown" and "spam and gross out filled anarchy because anything not forbidden by law is permitted". It may have been for prudish intentions but there is a reason that was the only section of the CDA to survive.
So how is this going to end?
I agree and disagree with both of you. There are real, tangible advantages and disadvantages to both.

My approach is to embrace both at the same time, by almost always coming into the office, but arriving before 0700. The first half of my day is super focused, uninterrupted work, and the second half is relatively unfocused, talk to people and be talked to at random times kind of work. I leave around 4pm.

I've had no substantial problems going home so 'early' among the eight or so orgs I've worked at in the past couple of decades.
Remote-first is a relatively new idea, that's why. Sure, there are a lot of companies that offer remote days on the schedule, and some international companies that hire certain branches of the business as remote, but the concept of a remote-first company is new and will take time to adopt.

It's a response to China not fulfilling their promises and not playing fair. IP theft, lack of market access, the benefits they receive of being labeled a third world country, possible currency manipulation, the list goes on.

It may be disagreeable to this administration's approach but there is bipartisan and foreign support for addressing China. Personally, I agree and rather see tariffs implemented now rather than continuing the status quo.
Free speech is a natural right. The first amendment protects that right explicitly from the government, but if they didn't then that doesn't mean you wouldn't have that right. There's a reason why that same idea is encoded in human rights as well.

Platforms like YouTube have basically become the public square. A lot of political engagement happens on platforms like YouTube. Perhaps we should expect them to offer free speech as well? They already have more rights than you and I, perhaps they should get some responsibility too?

Without spending too much time on this:

Incentive - I'm not sure why you dismiss this, as it is an important part of the justification for intellectual property laws in general. Lincoln said "The patent system added the fuel of interest to the fire of genius," a quote that is carved into the stone of the Dept. of Commerce building in DC.

Constitution - Article 1 Section 8 says "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." Identifying a gene and its function would seem to qualify as a discovery.

Social - A key feature of patents that is often overlooked is that they are public records. The idea of a patent is not just to secure a temporary monopoly, but to use that temporary monopoly as compensation for public disclosure of a trade secret. The patent expires and then the idea is public knowledge and free to use. This is in contrast to ideas and information that might be kept secret and never divulged to the public.

Philosophical - Is math discovered or invented? There is not universal agreement on this. Likewise, what about something like a vaccine, which is simply a special preparation of naturally occurring materials that trigger your naturally occurring immune system? Which part was invented, and which part discovered? Ultimately it's arguable that humans are naturally occurring phenomena, and all of our works are simply re-arrangements of materials and energies that are themselves naturally occurring. If the distinction between discovering and inventing is up for debate, it follows that related laws are too.

I don't actually believe that genes should be patentable, but I do believe in being able to articulate opposing arguments for consideration.

The nuisance model on Mastodon is different. Silos push everyone together in the same space, so you pretty much have to fight to protect your own little corner.

People you might like to remove from your experience will tend to congregate on certain instances favorable to that kind of thinking. You have the power to block that instance at an individual level. There isn't the same impetus to deplatform them because you can just break the link.

I have many (but not all) "free speech" instances blocked because they're packed with users who try to force that perspective on me by (for example) removing content warnings when replying. I don't have to appeal to any authority to enforce my boundaries. Only the owners can decide who has the power to make those decisions on centralized social media sites. That seems to be outsourced moderators with little or no understanding of niche or marginalized communities.
Dropped wrappers and dirty cups: the tricks bosses play at interviews
Some sort of continuing education would be ideal, but once you settle into a career and the financial obligations of being an adult, stopping your income and ramping up your outgo to go back to school for a year or two becomes very untenable for most people. A master's degree isn't a particularly valuable credential, either, except in a few cases where it does directly unlock a higher pay grade.

A lot of the industries that do require continuing ed, it's often at best a rubber stamping process, or an excuse for junkets - at least from what I have seen from friends and family in education, law and medicine. What doctors do to get their continuing ed credits blows away even the fat old days of tech shows like Lotusphere.

With software, you can't just stop learning, but I'm not convinced that formal education is of much use. An RSS reader and a curated Twitter list would probably be a better investment of time.

> "NASA commissioned two studies, with the twist that each team had to flesh out the other’s plan. Making the engineers step into each other’s shoes unstuck the debate, and Huntsville came around to Houston’s approach. That one decision ended up saving billions of dollars."

I love this. I find that so many people get emotionally attached to a decision, simply because it was theirs or their teams.
The benefit to me for my MS in comp sci was the networking. Whether you like the concept or not a lot of smart people end up going to these programs and I know people working at FAANG as a direct result. I also got exposed to concepts that no one talked about in undergrad, and it’s nice to have a theoretical focus instead of the practicalities that take over when you start working.

Work experience has been valuable in a different way, and lost income is a big concern. Personally I opted for a 15 month, 4 quarter program to minimize the debt and start earning as soon as possible.
If I choose to only buy magazines with racist/extreme/violent content, its on me. But if I watch it on YouTube its on them?

[Vinegar] works as a contact or burn-down herbicide, which means that it only kills the portion of the plant it contacts. The thistle will re-grow from the roots, and you will have to make repeated applications until you exhaust the carbohydrate reserves in the roots. There is probably a lot of seed present in the soil, and new thistle plants will sprout that you will have to treat in future years.

Just picture yourself doing this on 90ac of hills!

I think it's fair to be worried about that, but conversely, given that I believe Uber is legitimately getting its act together, and the recent Wall Street ratings of its stock, I think now might be a particularly good time to make a bet on it.

Personally, when I joined, I made a similar bet based on what I could gather about its growth trajectory at the time and a belief that corporate scandals eventually get closure.

I'm a bit on the risk-tolerant side, so RSUs two years ago with IPO rumors flying around and bad public perception seemed like good timing. With the current landscape, I think Uber is less risky than two years ago, and I even agree that Square might be more attractive to a more risk-averse person, but yeah, at the end of day, I think it still boils down to personal preferences/risk tolerance.
The advantage of removing (or at least, humans actively moderating) comments is that it pushes discussion back to face-to-face (or at least, more direct and personal) channels and restricts the anonymity of commentary. This has a few benefits, namely:

* Self-moderating: Such conversations require a certain level of decorum, since these are presumably people you interact with every day. The likelihood of calling your desk mate a Nazi, racist, race traitor, etc. to their face are astronomically smaller than when it's cloaked in anonymity, since there may be consequences to your commentary.

* Self-authenticating: It reduces the efficacy of message amplification, since the real world serves as an out-of-band identity authentication mechanism.

* Self-regulating: It's easier, cheaper, and less risky for the hosting site, since they no longer have any enforcement role to play in the discussion itself (beyond the original slant when presenting the information, e.g. by news organizations).

Of course, this doesn't address the problems of sites which are inherently designed to do one-to-many broadcasting and discussion, such as Youtube or Reddit. How would these sites look without comments at all, or with a very strict attestation/vouching system?

Although HN follows a similar model vis-à-vis discussion and broadcasting, the active HN moderation is pretty good, at least good enough to maintain a relatively high-quality discourse and removing very low-quality discussion. However, this is difficult to scale and relatively expensive.

Rough quote from when I listened a week or two ago:

"If I could get someone to ride the bike, there was about a 50% chance I could get them to buy it"

Also rough quote:

"People would ask what would happen if we went out of business. Since it was a subscription, there was an annuity value in keeping the platform going. Whoever ended up with our assets after a bankruptcy could use those revenues to spin up an instance of AWS to host the videos. I had a whole line ready to go about it."

I totally agree, but unfortunately my bank (a major U.S. bank) does block a transaction and sometimes lock my credit card completely when they think the transaction is suspicious. There’s no confirmation mechanism, I have to call them to get the card unlocked. Of course, this usually gets resolved within five minutes (except that one time when I had to renew a .ng domain, and the Nigeria-originated transaction got auto-blocked three times in a row, and eventually the case had to be escalated to override their security mechanism entirely), not 29 hours.

I think maybe the only real way to know what the cost benefit might be for an individual is to just ... go work for a while and then see what you find in your experience and life.

Then you're making a much more educated calculation as far as what you think it might get you, and if you want to go back to school and that.

Just throwing that all on the front end while you're in school seems a bit like gambling.

>2. Bet on a betting exchange, where liquidity is the only limiting factor (which, to some extent, it is with any other bookmaker), and even taking commission into account you're probably at leaner odds.

The vast majority of liquidity is on Betfair, who impose a commission surcharge on customers making substantial profits.

Bookies are obviously within their rights to gub customers, but it just smacks of unfairness. Mug punters generally don't like to think of themselves as mugs and I think a lot of them would be a bit miffed to learn that the only reason a bookie will take their money is because they're obviously a mug.

From the article: 'The new policy will ban “videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination, segregation or exclusion,” the company said in a blog post.'

How to Implement a Python Stack
One thing that always gets lost is this:

Some humans do not think on their feet. They often need time to digest thoughts and new ideas. If you start observing this behavior, you will notice that an impromptu brain-storming session often results in a couple of people talking and many others observing.

It ends up being highly productive to the people talking, and very frustrating to those who are observing.

If you don't see this trend, your hiring practices may be optimized for finding only one type of person - extroverted people who can say things quickly.

Consider that you may be missing out on some very good ideas from people who aren't comfortable with quick context switches and immediate requests for feedback on ideas.

" The French government just announced a plan to power 95 percent of the country with solar and wind energy by 2060. And by doing so, the government would spend about $44.5 billion (39 billion euros) less than it would if it maintained its current energy infrastructure.

To get there, the government would need to cancel plans to construct 15 new nuclear power plants, and instead replace its aging nuclear reactors with renewable infrastructure over the next several decades, according to a new report published Monday by the French environmental agency."

Facebook Was Right Not to Delete the Doctored Video of Nancy Pelosi
White supremacy can be reasonably credited for the Holocaust, but not for the war itself. The usual intervention after a major war was for a few hundred years to carve up the major belligerent into smaller states. This happened fairly regularly throughout the early modern period but curiously stopped being a thing after the Napoleonic wars.

I suspect this is because carving France back up into kingdoms at that point would have left Germany the sole uncontested power of Europe. Wars and nations were just getting too big to fail. When this fear materialized with Germany and Austria-Hungary teamed up to try to take over Europe again, while Austria-Hungary were divided into their constituent nation-states, Germany was expected to pay war reparations and so was kept largely intact so wealth could be extracted.

These war reparations are ultimately what drove WW2, by breaking the backs of the Germans, making them extremely receptive to populist politics.
