This reads like a design manifesto. Reminds me of texts from the early 20th century (post-WWI, pre-WWII).

The logic seems cohesive up to about #7 philosophy and government. Maybe the digression to the authors other works is better made in a footnote?

I can take the conceit of ‘markets are square’, but only to the point where you show us something new that solves the problems described. Othesrwise, I feel the same as another commenter, the article descends into ‘faux-profound gibberish‘.

I don’t believe the narrative thrust gets past it’s shortcomings,

- the author’s facile contradiction ‘governments should leave people alone’ AND ‘nation-state was inevitable‘

- the author’s assumptions about fractals as complex and sophisticated. It’s been demonstrated that surprisingly few rules can lead to great diversity. Fractals are exactly this phenomena, but at a conceptually large scale. Makes the fractal argument seem like a McGuffin

- I don’t believe the Amazon org-chart is the best we can do (‘the map is not the territory ‘).
The library index only indexes the information that fits on a card catalog card. That's extremely unlike a web search engine.

If you'd like to see an experimental discovery interface for a library that goes deeper into book contents, check out https://books.archivelab.org/dateviz/ -- sorry, not very mobile friendly.

Not surprisingly, this book thingie is a big centralized service, like a web search engine.

The point to a 27" 4K monitor is two fold:

- More stuff on the screen. Some people can see all the pixels of a 4K display.

or

- More detail on your stuff. Some people really enjoy crisper lines.

There is no point to scaling one 1080p-sized-pixel to be represented by four 4k-sized-pixels, à la a digital zoom on a camera, if that's what you mean.

Someone who advises / tutors in improving efficacy rather than mental health, isn't typically referred to as a "therapist" but as a "coach". Writing coaches exist as a specialisation of coaching.

Of course there may also be mental health issues that interfere with, or are caused by a person's work, and to some extent therapists deal with this, such as in "career counselling".

In Buckinghamshire, one of the few places in the UK which still has selective state education (ie they test children at the end of primary school for broad academic ability and then send them to different state-funded secondary schools based on the results‡) they call most mixed or girl-only schools that you'd get to if you did "well" on those tests High Schools, with boy-only schools often named Grammar Schools although other combinations do happen.

‡ This causes an interesting phenomenon. Suppose you're a pair of moderately successful young parents, you _could_ afford to send your children to get privately educated but it'd mean money was tight and also you'd get called on it all the time because you're socially liberal and theoretically don't agree with private education. Well, Bucks Grammar Schools and High Schools have an excellent reputation, but the state pays for them. So, when the kids approach school age maybe you move to, say, Beaconsfield, a very nice town in Buckinghamshire where your kids would qualify (if they pass selection) for these schools. So immediately this drives up housing prices in Bucks.

But then later at selection age the options are all _terrible_. Unless you got very lucky your kid isn't smart enough to be 100% certain of getting in anywhere they want. Do you pay tutors to try to get your "not quite bright enough" kid over the line and pay off on this investment? Imagine if they spend the rest of their school life being the slowest kid in every class. That's not going to be a lot of fun, or a good psychological experience. Or maybe you decide to stick by your beliefs, and let them "fail" into a non-selective school, now they'll resent you. Perhaps you decide to spend money on private school if they "fail" - now they're the kid who was so dumb they're only at this school because they failed a test AND you're still out the cash.

And this choice comes up for each kid, if you are inconsistent they absolutely will know about it. And they're probably _all_ going to resent you both for it. And then you can argue among yourselves about whose fault this all is. Brilliant.
That is literally what the game looks for.

It offers the player the option to tweet "The Mainstream media is one massive conspiracy". It punishes the player if they choose options not in line with ethical journalistic behavior (as defined by the game). So, things like questioning the events of 9/11, vaccines, and other taboo subjects affect your score.

questions were framed as tweets from legitimate news organizations that did not include any attempts at misleading the audience.

It will be interesting to see what the data coming from this research and what Google's response will be to this week's Google employee insider reporting that Google controls online narratives.

>I'll never understand why lawmakers think that fruit and other flavorings for tobacco are aimed at getting kids hooked.

Because the companies themselves have admitted to marketing towards this demographic. [1]

The market was wildly unregulated and it was printing free money for these companies to target kids and sell these pods in retail stores. Heck I even remember going to a gamestop and seeing video game style vape pods.

I'm not going to comment on the ban itself, but I think it is reasonable to assume that these companies have very big incentives to target minors and create brand loyalty early on since regulations can be quite murky regarding e-cigarettes.

If we're listing PA Semi, then I'll add Fingerworks. Their first-party products (e.g. TouchStream keyboards) vanished, but their multitouch technology heralded an entirely new age of touch-based UI. Like PA Semi, it took Apple to realize the potential we've now seen from that tech.

That should be illegal also, and is in some countries.

In France, for example: “Le vendeur doit clairement signaler les rabais proposés par rapport à un prix de référence réel. Il est ainsi interdit d'augmenter le prix d'un produit avant la période des soldes, dans le but de faire croire à une offre promotionnelle plus importante qu'elle ne l'est réellement.”[0]

My translation: “The vendor must clearly indicate the discounts offered relative to a real reference price. It is thus forbidden to increase the price of a product before the sales period, with the goal of making people believe that a promotional offer is more significant than it actually is.”

This sort of practice shouldn’t be considered normal. It’s one of the many ways in which low-level corruption is widely legal and accepted in the US.

The problem isn't search engines per se.

The problem is closed algorithms, SEO, and advertising/marketing.

Think about it for a minute. Imagine a search engine that generates the same results for everyone. Since it gives the same results for everyone, the burden of looking for exactly what you're looking for is put back exactly where it needs to be, on the user.

The problem though, is you'll still get networks of "sink pages" that are optimized to show up in every conceivable search, that don't have anything to do with what you're searching for, but are just landing pages for links/ads.

Personally, I liked a more Yellow Pageish net. After you got a knack for picking out the SEO link sinks, and artificially disclose them, you were fine. I prefer this to a search provider doing it for you because it teaches you, the user, how to retrieve information better. This meant you were no longer dependant on someone else slurping up info on your browsing habits to try to made a guess at what you were looking for.
Also, "Hey monitor, are you there?" "Yes, I just got power, give me another 100ms for the backlight capacitors to charge and your content will be visible"

Also, "Hey monitor, here's a frame in a new resolution" "Right away, ma'am, I just need to wait 30ms for the next refresh and your content will be visible"

Modern display management is... well, it's just absolute garbage. We don't tolerate it when our storage devices or graphics cards take 3+ seconds (seconds!) to respond. Why are we OK with the display? I mean, some amount of delay and synchronization for some things is inevitable, but this subindustry has just gotten completely out of hand.

I think one issue you are overlooking is cost of the panel itself. There's a huge difference in price between a ~200-300ppi panel that's 4.7 diagonal inches vs a laptop display (13-15 DI) and a "standard" size desktop monitor (22-27 DI). Add in the requirements of acceptable brightness and it gets expensive fast.

In 3 dimensions, the sieve/strainer/colander is an object that's connected with itself despite having holes. There's material that goes around the holes.

In 2 dimensions, the membrane is essentially a line (or a linear sequence of objects) - if that line is interrupted in one space to let stuff through, then it's not connected anymore, it's two separate lines with nothing linking them, it's broken with no possibility to connect "around the hole" because any connection around the hole requires the third dimension, and any connection through the hole closes that hole.

This brings to mind the Viterbi algorithm that calculates the most likely sequence of events in a hidden Markov model (Markov model itself is just a state machine on a graph with weighed edges, where each weight on a state transition is represented as a probability of that transition).

It's essentially bases to the same algorithm: you can eliminate sequences if they lead to the same event that is already part of a solution, but with lesser probability. The amount of paths would be exponential, but the ability to eliminate them keeps it polynomial. That really brings forth the beauty of dynamic programming.
That's not quite a slippery slope. I didn't say that people like you are going to become murderers. I said that, by the standard you are using to choose to not have kids, that would be a good thing to do (and therefore maybe your standard is less reasonable than it appears to you to be). But you seem to find it comforting to have a glib dismissal to use, rather than actually interacting with the point.

Now, you did kind of answer it in a way. The only way my murder point actually makes sense is if reducing the population (or the environment) is your only value. You obviously have other values as well (as you should). But just as those other values rule out murder and suicide (though that might benefit the environment), they could also allow a child.
The less in-your-face ones I might trust. The low stock notice on Amazon, the "X of this early offer left" on KS, and so forth.

It is the in-your-face, ticking down occasionally (or even regularly) as you look, ones, that are an automatic turn off. I don't even check those these days because every time when I used to they were obviously not real.

What extreme is that? As far as visiting when it's packed with Japanese tourists, I didn't see any downside aside from (obviously) some long lines and lots of people in the gardens.

Sure, Japan has some issues such as too much overwork in their culture, but America has that too. How many Silicon Valley engineers only work 40 hours? And how many poorer people have multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet and they still can't afford health insurance?
I can't imagine what model of the world people have who think that people wouldn't want things they don't need if it weren't for advertising. This is a view I see a lot, and it baffles me how anyone could think this having met any humans or read any history. I'm not endorsing it as salutary, but it's fundamentally human to want things that are unnecessary; that restlessness is what's what's driven our history as a species, for better or for woes.

Even if the OS supports it, many apps still write their own UI primitives and won't scale with the OS scaling, or when they do, it's not uniform so the text is either obnoxiously huge, or the UI affordances are way too small.

Working with a larger screen without scaling makes this problem go away. I personally have 2 x 4K monitors at 32" and find it quite ideal.
