I totally disagree with the statement "I don't think you can get much clearer than having each advertisement say "Ad"." If you want much clearer, just look at Google circa around 15 years ago, where ads had a much greater visual distinction with a blue background color, or in the right gutter.

And, of course, Google knows this. The past 10-15 years has seen a sea change where ads look more and more like natural search results, and as they've taken up more and more real estate. It used to be you could compete with having good SEO positioning, but now SEO positioning is almost irrelevant for any commercial terms (except for how it affects your AdWords bidding positioning), as basically everything above the fold is just ads now.

Genuine question: with all the great quality, super fast, and incredibly cheap PCB fab options available now - what motivates making PCBs at home?

I totally get that it's a fun process (and back in the day made plenty of boards with toner transfer + sharpie cleanup + ferric chloride), but if there's an interest in better quality product, the commercial solutions are going to be lightyears better and designs meant for them are far easier for others to replicate.
> Speciation does not occur in human timespans.

I'm no biologist, but surely that is a Pandora's Box of a claim. There isn't even one clear definition of what a 'species' actually is [0].

I can't find a source, but I'm guessing most species are small, short lived creatures with a lifespan of ~1 year; such as mice or insects. That is 70+ generations per human lifespan - 70 generations probably is long enough to get a new species if there is evolutionary pressure.

The chapter "Some Examples of Useless Contriving" is pretty neat:

> In 1893 a Hartford man patented a bicycle fitted with a large cylinder, borne on either side below the
wheel centre, for compressed air. Having previously filled these, either by a foot pump, which takes the
place of the usual pedals, or by a curious rotary hand pump carried under the upper tube, the rider
climbed to his place, opened a convenient throttle valve and sped along gayly. On a down grade he could
use the momentum to repump air, getting brake effect by so doing, or he could use the air pressure to work
a brake direct; as the gas tanks carried two little wheels on spiral springs underneath them, the rider could
step off and leave the whole construction upright, leaning down on one of these stop-wheels.

> Mr. Hansel, of Zeitz, in Germany, only recently rediscovered and patented the idea of driving by the
rider’s weight. There are two saddles, each on its post, arranged to slide up and down see-saw fashion,
and geared, no matter precisely how, to a very big pulley belted to a very small one on the rear wheel, the
gear ratio being evidently enormous. The rider gets up on the seat which is at the top, slides down with it,
thus starting the wheel; then he is to hop off that to the other seat (which has meanwhile gone up) and so
on. Expressive silence may be left to “muse the praise” of this invention

Wickham doesn’t say to be “skeptical about the default position”, which implies being skeptical of the status quo. He seems to be saying be skeptical of what the data purports to be, until you understand its origin and collection process and etc.:

> But until you’ve understood the process by which the data has been collected and gathered ... I think you should be very skeptical. Your default position should be skepticism.

This seems reasonable to me. Data is inherently a simplification of the reality it purports to observe and store. Not adequately researching and challenging the data is taking too much of a leap and faith.

It's fascinating to watch comments like this get downvoted.

Everything you noted is accurate, and is reflected in recent high-profile hires at NYT (Sarah Jeong the most recent). All organizations can go through preference cascades like this, where hiring for certain views becomes self reinforcing to the point where the organization doesn't even realize it has a bias toward them. It can be especially acute when the views are activist in nature, and signaling alignment with them is how to achieve in-group status. Frankly this is kind of a boring observation - it's basic organizational psychology, which Professor Haidt notes on several occasions.

Fox News in the run-up to the Iraq War is another great example of this. Every single talking-head they had on aligned with their internal bias toward invasion.

There are plenty of animals with at least rudimentary forms of language.

North America used to have massive locust swarms back in the 19th century. But...

> The Rocky Mountain locust ranged through the western half of the United States and some western portions of Canada. Sightings often placed their swarms in numbers far larger than any other locust species, with one famous sighting in 1875 estimated at 198,000 square miles (510,000 km2) in size (greater than the area of California), weighing 27.5 million tons and consisting of some 12.5 trillion insects.

> Less than 30 years later, the species was apparently extinct. The last recorded sighting of a live specimen was in 1902 in southern Canada.

The most interesting is page 233:

> ELECTRICITY AS POWER.

> Electricity comes next in the list, and is now limited for production of current to three forms — the power station, supplying current by a trolley and motor; the primary battery, carried on the vehicle; the storage battery, also carried on the vehicle. The first may be impossible commercially, but it is not at all so mechanically. Given the lines and some workable device for insuring that the carriage shall not be too often “off its trolley,” together with provision for some minor difficulties which need not be pronounced impossible (since in an inventive and pushing Republic the impossible is the thing which becomes possible), and the thing is done. Leave this method to the future, meanwhile noting that a trolley automobile is already reported from Nevada as having been built. The primary battery, to be taken along, seems out of the practicable list in the present state of electrical development.

Especially this note:

I have the Linksprite engraving machine[1], there are a bunch of companies selling the same design if you search for "CNC 1610" on any of the major e-tailer sites. It's called 1610 because the build area is 16x10cm, there are larger versions called 2418 and 3018.

At the price point it's obviously the bargain basement model of the CNC world and the quality is not great. But it works fine for PCBs as long as you don't need super narrow traces, the backlash is surprisingly not terrible thanks to the preloaded nuts.

Default skepticism doesn't mean verify everything every time. It means that when confronted with a new claim, a claim you've not decided yet its validity, you should abstain from taking a position until you have enough evidence to accept or refute the claim.

In the case of your example, I gather you've bought rice before, you've probably bought at that store before, you've used money before and you've eaten food before. By the looks of it, you've probably cooked before with that same kind of rice. Hence you are not evaluating the rice and all its production line from scratch every time you buy the rice. You already evaluated that claim and you've found that the store and their products are acceptable to you and that is why you probably bought the rice.

In that case you abandoned long ago the default position because you already had the required evidence to take an action. Which is the only purpose of the default position.

The default position is not the forever position.

> Then try to come up with better tools!

Who are you addressing this to, end-users or UI designers? The debate seemed to start off asking "why do people prefer text UIs" and now seems to have morphed into "why don't OS vendors innovate in text UIs more".

I don't know the answer to that, but it's not really relevant to the initial debate; text UIs, for all their lack of innovation, are still dramatically better than GUIs for many use cases, which is why I use them.

I do not want to go off and spend years designing and implementing the theoretically perfect OS and toolchain before I can do other work, I just want to use the best of what exists today.
The author appears to making the common functional programmer mistake of using "Category thoeory" to mean "formal mathematical language", likely because they usually encounter category theory for the first time when they see Haskell's "monad", shortly before they see all the Haskell typeclasses named for other non-category-specific algebraic objects like monoids and morphisms.

Rest assured, you absolutely do not need any category theory to be an effective functional programmer.
Everything is a category because category theory is the most general formulation of algebra.
But you don't need to know categories for any of it. Not even for monads.

It's like trying to use calculus of variationsnto find the area of a triangle. You can so it, but it's pointlessly overcomplicated overengineering. Chasing after ever-higher abstractions when you only have one concrete case to abstract over, is the functional programmer's version of OO architecture astronautry.

I think if you dont have a strong opinion about it, this is exactly what they are trying to achive with Zircon/Fuchsia kernel.

A micro-kernel, with a linux virtualization layer, being abble to run Linux executables as if they were native.

My hunch is that in the long term, Google will probably use Zircon as the 'first-level' kernel, and run the android apps using some emulation layer.

Maybe it could be the answer for what you are trying to accomplish, without having to create a whole micro-kernel OS from scratch, while at the same time benefiting from whats already there.

I bet that with such a thing in place, the Linux kernel could totally go away, with only a emulation layer in place if you want to.

Generally defense contracts pay very well, and pay hourly. Benefits are usually generous. Work is generally 40 hours a week, but if it is more for some reason, you get paid for each extra hour. If this is not your deal, you're working for the wrong company.

Age discrimination is generally much less, but can be a problem on certain contracts. Sometimes the government thinks they'll save a bundle by getting less experienced people to do the work. They usually repent of that the next time a contract comes out. The experienced / good people can always find another contract to go to.

I've seen all manner of processes from very well done agile, to poorly done agile, to waterfall, to no process at all.

On call depends on the contract, but is not typical.

I'm all for protecting dogs and other animals from cruelty, etc, but elevating their rights to that of a person? Come on.

Despite the many similarities we share with animals and regardless of your opinion of how bad and destructive humans are, we always will be qualitatively different from animals in a way that gives us rights that animals should not have. If we grant dogs the right of personhood, then they should be able to vote, marry, go to school... reductio ad absurdum.

I'm a dog lover myself, but this (American) societal tendency to blur the delineation between humans and animals is a slippery slope to absurdity.

During my career, defense contractors have generally paid a lot more with much more generous benefits (I've seen fully employer paid 401K plans to the IRS maximum), and have been a much more stable employer. Since contract work hours are billable, you generally get paid for each hour you work, unless you are working for the wrong company and only get a salary. This naturally limits extra hours to those that are truly needed, and leads to a good work/life balance.
