Facebook and Google are the worst just due to their size (and thus impact).

There might be smaller, nastier players out there but at least they are confined to the web and don’t also have the privilege of owning your smartphone OS or browser, so overall their negative impact isn’t as bad.
Wordpress blogs are not dead. 30% of websites are WordPress.

Are you sure it's not your reading habits that have changed? For example, I wake up and check my RSS reader (feedbin) where I subscribe to hundreds of individual blogs (many powered by WordPress). Actually this article was in my feed because I subscribe to HN RSS with a "Blog" keyword filter!

I don't have numbers but my anecdotal experience is that more blog articles I read are on WP blogs than not. Ghost is probably the other major platform I see along with static site generators.
Disclaimer: While I do not agree with Jordan Peterson on all points, I believe that in this interview he comes across as highly intellectual, well-spoken, and thought-provoking, if not interesting in general...

That being said, your proverbial mileage (and opinions) with respect to this interview probably can and will vary...
I suspect it wasn't mentioned because any criticism of capitalism or neoliberalism here runs counter to HN groupthink and gets downvoted.

But my dick is still six inches long regardless of how many downvotes I get so I'll just keep on trollin' for great justice. :)
That's exactly it for me too. The Hetzner plan costs about twice as much as my monthly DO bill. Not to mention I'm US based and all of my customers are US based so hosting a site in Germany or Finland doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
The number of people I know who advocate that “blood is thicker than water” and then spend most of our outings at a bar complaining about one or another of those blood relatives...

For years I’ve felt like I’m supposed to report in to my family (my mother in particular) because otherwise I’m assumed dead. It was never reasonable, I was always safe and happy (and not engaged in anything crazy like CIA wetwork, just traveling around the US by myself), but I finally had to do away with it and issue an ultimatum.

For me it was not family vs loneliness. It was family vs lonerness (and happiness). They were “stuck in the mud” and expected me to be the same... when I wasn’t it was out of their comfort zone and they didn’t know how to handle that.

Several months in now I’m happier than I’ve ever been... purely because I don’t have to worry about anyone’s happiness except my own and the people I actually choose to be with.
You broke the first rule of fight club.
It really comes down to the subscription-based model being profitable for people that think paying for something means they'll get a better product. People will find an open source solution and rebrand it for a $5 or $10/mo and have it sync to a server somewhere, and then move on to rebranding another solution. You can find a ton of apps in the app store where they do this.
I noticed that Google has revamped Google Voice yet again after nearly killing it off entirely for Hangouts. Now it looks like they are planning on moving away from Hangouts for Google Voice interactions. Any news here?

There was a Chinese hit movie last year (Dying to Survive) about a patient's illicit business smuggling cheap generic drugs from India, the movie is one-sided sympathetic toward the protagonist so did the audience.

Yet a prior investigative report of the guy depicted in the movie, showed the whole thing was all kinds of fishy, including misleading marketing, entangled business interest, fake company addresses in India, untrue claims and poor quality.

But people refused to believe the report and was cursing the reporter and the evil price-gauging foreign drug companies.

>You don't know the opposite though.

I've seen good and bad products from both public and non-public. So I don't know what you mean by opposite. The worst case was my own friend's brother whose mother pulled him out of public school after he failed the fourth grade for the 2nd time. She said the school was "full of mexicans" and she'd just teach him herself. But she never did anything... He has been arrested many times for selling drugs, which he did because he could never get a "normal" job as he had no ID or birth certificate (his mom lost all that). Thankfully through prison he learned how to read and do math and he was given a prison ID card which can be used in place of a birth certificate to get an official ID card from the DMV. But he's' still not doing too well... But that's the worst case, and his brother that graduated from public school isn't doing much better.

The point I make is, the parents should know what is best for their own children and they should have their children's best interest in mind. Sure, some don't and or can't but they still need to have options. But as a society of sovereign individuals, this is what we allow. To overreach this area through government regulation will just end up with a loss of rights and a poorer ending (that has already been played out in other countries of the past)
This article makes it sound more like Twitter left the relationship because Joyent wasn't delivering on performance and stability.
"An endless chain of causation" isn't circular, that's more or less the definition of life. What's the alternative, a task that a species must complete so that it can then go extinct?
Well, if I were a movie producer I might consider trying to put that movie out immediately. Before we find out who the actual Satoshi is -- assuming we will ever find out.

Because it just sounds like the type of movie that Hollywood can sell. I mean Hollywood loves to glorify violence, and people already think that Bitcoin is mainly about criminal activity.

However I am hoping that La Roux is not Satoshi, or at least that it is never proven. Because the association with criminal activities detracts from the positive effects that cryptocurrency can have in terms of improving society.
Yes, that is exactly right. All of this just boils down to the energy-time version of the uncertainty principle: the more precisely you can measure when a transition happened, the less certain you can be about the change in energy of that transition.

Here is another example of this principle at work:

Well, doubling the labor supply made wages go down so women HAD to work. They no longer had the freedom to choose.
I chose the phrasing because I deemed it accurate for the situation. This script has multiple functions and does a number of distinct things well depending on how it is invoked.

First mistake in the account creation of the bloom app, assuming all people|cultures have a surname...
I've always preferred Option 2; this is not a criticism of all that entails. In fact, it's no different from all the other startups and side-projects that rise and fall. Google's unique problem is it's all under 1 roof and each product has the Google name on it. So the shuttering of products unfairly get more moaning and press. There's a branding problem here where long term products are in the same group as experiments and Google needs to categorize them to correct public perception.

Past approaches were putting things under Google Labs or the Eternal Beta. But it needs to exist separately from the long term survivors like Sheets, GDrive, etc.
Wouldn't it be easy to compare the TrueCrypt C++ code with Bitcoins? Programming a project of that size by a solo developer must have similar patterns and quirks.

I don't think anyone is capable of faking that for long unless they tried to make it as generic as possible`.
> It makes me sad because while they have awesome professional accomplishments, they would have been awesome mothers and parents as well.

I just wanted to point out politely how strange this language reads to me. It's ultimately the decision of each person whether to have kids or not. This being "sad" for them is an overreach, morally, IMO--and part of the fight feminism led was to carve out a space for women in society not to be mothers, if that is their choice.
Ouch! Personally I consider all the TiNi coated scissors and knives to be basically a sham, the coating doesn't make the tool sharper, just harder to sharpen when it begins to dull. Though on scissors it may make the blades a little less likely to pick up adhesive from tape (I have seen some Japanese scissors with a PTFE coating for that too).
Social media and not feminism is the likely root cause of the decline in families. Families are declining world wide including in repressive societies. Social media itself is likely the root cause.

Before social media people had to meet face-to-face in order to date and they had to break up face-to-face in order to end a relationship. This forced people to develop social skills at a young age that are required to form a family.

Now people can date someone they never met and break up by ghosting. They can get to a preliminary relationship without acquiring social skills. There are also online equivalents of a mate that seem good enough if you don't understand the benefits of family.

I try to avoid social media and it makes my life much more sane. It forces me to go out and socialize with people.
Damn, isn't there enough negativity in the world? You gotta bring that in here?
There is also the problem that someday a company might produce a vaccine that was dangerous to the public, and people that find this out might want to tell others. A strict ban on "anti-vax ideas" would stifle that speech.
There are some good ideas in this thread. I spent a lot of lonely time in my 20s living alone and working from home. One thing is to live in a shared house. That is a way to have people to live with. It worked for me to not be as lonely at times in my adulthood.

The other thing is to get involved with social physical activity, clubs, or volunteering. I played hockey and went to a group fitness gym. I made long term friends there. I am into ham radio and the club where I live is pretty good. I used to volunteer at a kids camp and that was great for making friends with the staff members and doing social things outside of camp.

To me, find where your interests align with social/community activity. Currently, I am trying to get the ham radio club to be more out in the community. We are doing radio communications for a running race this weekend. It is exciting.
I don't think we can lay this one at the feet of women trying to escape their compulsory reliance on unreliable, selfish, and inconsiderate men

That's begging the question. Of course, one cannot, "blame the victims of villains," to paraphrase. The vast majority of people are just imperfect, normal people trying to get by. It's the aggregate actions of everyday people we should be looking at, not such outliers.

Most people are alone because they don't prioritize the families they already have

It's like the "Thanksgiving arguments" are engineered precisely to create a rift between generations.

Are there any blog posts/email threads you'd point people to if they want to read more about the work that was done?

I'd love to see and read about some of the things you ran into, and how you accomplished some of those high speed transfers.
Game clones are in a legal gray area. Note that you do NOT have to copy source code in order to infringe copyright: the relevant legal criterion is "substantial similarity". In Atari v. Philips, the court ruled that K.C. Munchkin, a Pac-Man-like game, was similar enough to Pac-Man to infringe because both involved a gobbler eating dots while being chased by ghost monsters -- despite different designs and colors being used for the gobbler and monsters, a different maze layout, different rules, and of course no code in common.

Note again that if you clone Tetris, YOU WILL BE SUED and you will probably lose. Tetris is the most vigorously defended game IP in the world, by a company that, like Oracle, is mostly legal department, and judges have ruled that the shapes of the tetrominoes, the manner in which they spin and fall, and the dimensions of the game board are all copyrightable game elements.
True. But it's great for the economy.

When a family splits, that means 2x everything (e.g., sofa, dishes, TV, etc.) Same goes for the social "norm" that adults above 25 y/o (?) should live alone (if they're not married).

The issue is, not only is this counter to long-established human (emotional) needs, but it is resource intensive as well. Put another way, we're bringing Mother Nature to her knees, and we're too depressed about ourselves to care about her.

What could go wrong?
Yes on the second point, I think there's likely a distribution - perhaps 20% of participants use it as a helpful tool and 80% use it as a harmful crutch. I don't know what the actual ratio would be, but anecdotally I know quite a few young people in the latter group for whom many casual relationships seem to have replaced fewer serious ones.
Surprised you were downvoted. This is a very good point: unpaid labor still exists, it's just not counted, either for taxation or economic statistics purposes. That means that everyone who has an incentive to optimize these metrics (meaning most people within the for-pay, capitalistic economy) has an incentive to favor policies that replace unpaid labor with paid labor that makes the transfer of value explicit.

You see this trend in other areas as well: the gift economy of the early Internet became the advertising economy of today, the open-source economy of the early 90s now has Github etc. offering rewards for creators, the karma economy of early social media contributors is replaced by the Patreon model today, the idea of driving a drunk friend home is replaced by calling them an Uber, the practice of quietly giving a family in need money is replaced by GoFundMe, and so on.

There are pluses and minuses to this: it's certainly been good for the economy, and generates liquidity where previously there was none, but it's done a lot to destroy social relationships and trust.
> Also, why would they want to?

One of these days, they'll fuck up big time for many customers and get sued. They'll survive, but it'll cost a lot of money.

Especially for Google (and other life-or-death services for many people), the solution seems kind of simple: charge for support. Google terminated your GMail-Account because you logged in from Turkey? Pay $50 to get somebody to listen to your story and work with you on proving your identity. Would you rather change your email on all your accounts or pay $50?
Most $10MM ARR startups are running on two medium T class aws instances behind a load balancer at $35/mo plus another small server for accessories (redis, message queue, etc) and then a sql backend. That's something like $200/mo for infrastructure, you never need to maintain the hardware and you have the option to autoscale at any time to support $100MM ARR.

Plus you get access to backups and all the other tools and products that are constantly being released. Not having to hire an IT guy at $1200/mo to maintain your physical server and tend to it's networking rules is a significant savings over a developer-managed aws/gcp instance. Plus all the cloud interfaces are standardized so you can just hire someone to come through and fix/upgrade your infrastructure.

Using a home-spun physical server means months if not years of undocumented tech debt for the next guy who comes along to have to maintain whatever kludges were installed long before he/she ever showed up. I just got done converting a bunch of physical servers over to the cloud and spent a year unwinding seven years of technical debt and now the dev/qa teams can actually spin up a new test environment in under 30 days (closer to 3 minutes).
The reason for doing business with them is because they say they will deliver the service you paid them for. But if they don't, what then? You can switch to another vendor, but without a backup you're starting from scratch.

You should hope they deliver the service you've paid for, but you should never trust that they will. Always plan for failure. That's the entire point of this whole "DO killed my company" saga.
That's a false choice. There are infinite ways to get exercise on a regular basis that do not involving spending anywhere near $2,500/year.

I'm not saying it won't work. I'm saying it's possible to be both healthy and not financially inept.
These are strange times I guess? Maybe I'm a weird one-off, but I have 3 VPS providers for my hobby sites, my own DNS spread across all three (one remains shadow backup) and offline rsnapshot backups that automation can't touch.

I can't imagine doing less for a business. In my opinion, the business model and investment plan should account for all of this for at least the first five years.
They might be there and we don't know about it. However the ability to wage interplanetary war implies are a lot of technology that we would be able to detect. Even if we assume they have the space ships in "mothballs", they would need to test and maintain them - something we can detect - or risk that they don't work when they need them.
Well procreation is essential for all self reproducing organisms. If you don't prioritize it, then congrats, people like you won't influence future too much.

Also bus isn't getting full. The issue is two fold: chain smokers in first rows and overcrowding in back rows.
It seems a stretch to blame feminism when economics has thinned most workers wages to the point that multi income households are a requirement to eke out a life.
The western powers also colonised China, by force. One could say the war in China was over which colonial powers would have rights to trade in China.
> I'm not sure what the answer is,

Drop the implicit assumption that only the mother needs to give up her career to raise a child.

For some reason, nobody sheds tears over successful entrepreneur, lawyer, and doctor men who are unable to make that work with raising children.

A pregnancy lasts 9 months. Raising a child takes ~200 months.
My only problem with Medium are rehosted "personal blog" junk domains. Otherwise uBlock would work without any additional effort.
Is it possible the name Paul Le Roux was left unredacted intentionally? I'm not familiar with Wright's case or possible motives; this is just a public service announcement that you should always look with suspicion at all "leaks."
For some reason the idea that a piece of info came out inadvertently or accidentally is sufficiently distracting that few people will wonder whether that piece of info is true. Which means a viable strategy for anyone trying to make something look true, is to make it look like it was released accidentally.
My biggest take away after reading this thread is that almost everyone seems to agree that there is a very significant problem, while at the same time there seems be a complete lack of universal agreement about cause(s) or cure(s). Sort of unsatisfying that way. :-|
> My understanding is that Joyent is comprised primarily of Sun refugees

This is by far the best explanation I have heard. Suddenly Joyent makes sense to me after all these years. They have been continuing to do what Sun did.

In a very similar way to how Sun followed the fatal strategy of simultaneously trying to make money selling proprietary Unix hardware, while also making their software open source and porting it to more popular architectures, while simultaneously developing Java as a portable programming language intending to erase all differentiation in underlying architecture/OS differences …

Yes: Joyent is (was) a hosting company trying to compete with AWS, claiming technical superiority in the software stack. Yes they also make an OpenStack competitor. And had their own programming language runtime, node.js, which seemed to be an odd implementation choice for their classic old-school unix tech. All of the above.
>I'm shocked how insane and unrealistic the people downvoting this are. I feel so unbelievably bad if any of you have children or vote on any policy that has to do with children. Awful people. Just awful.

If you see people disagree with your opinion and conclude that they're awful people who are unfit to vote or raise children, you might want to spend some time reflecting on whether you're being reasonable.
Much of Turing's work was classified as Official Secret until the mid 70s. Declassification allowed the the publication of The Ultra Secret that first revealed what went on at Bletchley. Two of Turing's papers on cryptanalysis were thought significant enough to remain classified by GCHQ for 70 years. Yet he was still fairly well known.

Obviously after the release of the wartime work his place in history grew.

It was only after that declassification of Bletchley that anyone heard of Tommy Flowers and his work at GPO research. Up til that point even his family didn't know his contribution. Flowers should be far better known than he is, but anyone encountering the Enigma codebreaking story in the last 40+ years should come across his story. I do think it criminal they got so little official recognition.
