This works only if one accepts that philosophical problems (itches) can be dissolved by analyzing ordinary language use to find out where philosophers, scientists or lay people have abused language to create the problem. One example the article gives is of failing to notice the disanalogy of people hiding thoughts behind the curtains of their faces.

> Then someone reports what he thinks, he is neither describing what he thinks, nor is he describing anything he sees.

So what is the person describing? If I was thinking it would be nice to take a break and walk around, and you ask what I was thinking, so I tell you we should take a break to stretch our legs, am I not telling you what I was thinking? This sounds like a denial that I was thinking anything at all in order to block objections to the private language argument that we do have private thoughts and feelings we can tell other people about.

Maybe the "disanalogy" came about because people do have thoughts which are only made public upon telling others. We're not a telepathic species, and I'm as sure about thinking as I am about anything else in experience, including the world and other people.

Something, something, game theory, and especially the subset of games that have a cooperate/defect dynamic.

Left to themselves, individuals want to defect and get a free ride on the backs of those who cooperate. But if a critical mass of individuals cooperate—by choice, force, or persuasion—everyone wins.

—

It’s intellectually fine to be a libertarian and say, “even if the overall good is served by cooperation, there is a higher value in having the freedom to defect.”

But you are correct that on the balance, it takes a society working together to achieve certain large-scale good outcomes that demand widespread cooperation.

Whether those large-scale good outcomes are worthy of having less liberty is what certain debates are really about, even if people try to frame them otherwise, e.g. “Individual good, government bad.”
I was pleasantly surprised to see the appropriate NixOS configuration in the middle of the article. NixOS stream-lines the whole configuration process to a couple of lines of configuration which can be copy-pasted without changing anything.

You don't need it, but it certainly helps you know what your environment is so you can upgrade/patch one piece at a time without affecting everything. Need a new libc for your database? Feel free to upgrade it without worrying if your webserver or plugins will break. Also, you can more exactly replicate your production environment on your local development machine or replace production if the machine dies.

Relates to the usual debate of whether the language ought to remain in the form that was crystallized at a given moment, or accept the transformation contemporary users are making.

I used to not care, but having read some Chomsky lately, it seems that some of those semantics transformations are made to serve an agenda - and now I feel that battling for stability has some sense.

Kind of like trying to use the language as the unit for ideas, you might want to have the language as a stable reference frame so that everyone understands those ideas.

It's probably better for their health and stress to get the divorce and continue a failed marriage - I wonder if we'll see middle aged divorces go down over time as divorce in general becomes more socially acceptable allowing it to occur earlier in life.
Maybe, but the effect has to be considered together with the proposed "hybrid approach" to rent control. Los Angeles rent stability ordinance (which lately caps rent increases at 4% since this year) only affects apartments built before the 80s, and rents are on average up 6% since last year. Using a moving free market window and a lower cap may have a different effect.
Physics exchange has a calculation. Bunch of articles about it accessible from google.
I don't think the problems are meaningless because words might have different meanings, but because problems are often posed as if the words can't have multiple meanings so questions are often arranged in a way such that any reasonable solution will end up contradicting the meaning of words in the question.

IMO, the best thing to take away from Wittgenstein is that he understood how words acquire meaning -- through usage in context -- and that two people can think they are talking about the same thing but if there is any difference in how they use the terms, or any variation in what contexts they consider them appropriate, then they cannot be talking about the same thing, because they aren't using the words the same way in the same context.

Learning language is like learning a certain kind of morality: which words are 'proper' to use in which order, situation, etc. (And you can always find stark disagreement where any moralities diverge.) The wisdom of all this is to instead focus on where people have agreement, by establishing shared definitions, axioms, or even participation in activities. These kinds of things are 'meaning multipliers'.
The big problem with 'just work', is that is all that seems to be necessary for a viable product in many markets. You could spend a lot of time and effort getting it right, but in few situations is there adequate competition for that to significantly change the profitability of the end product. Even full blown data theft and remote command injection rarely cause the economic impact that demand market change.
Hence the need for more data points. 2003 and 2004 were still peak deforestation years despite the left being in power.

I think the local culture needs to be taken into account. Suppose I walk onto your porch, see something I want, and take it with me. That's pretty plainly theft, right? Now suppose I am eight years old, taking candy from a bowl left out on Halloween. That's pretty plainly not theft. To somebody unfamiliar with the cultural practice of trick-or-treating, they might assume that it is theft.

The internet has different cultural norms than physical space. One-to-one analogies are useful for exploring those differences, but not for arguing what they should be. If I have a WiFi connection, leaving it without a password is implicit permission to use it. If I have a server that provides HTTP without authentication, that is implicit permission to access the contents.

That is not to say that people should take advantage of these social norms. If I find a bowl of car keys left on a front porch, even if it is Halloween, I should inform the owner of the house that they probably don't want to do that. If I find incremental IDs that lead to other customers' personal information, I should inform the company, and the other customers if necessary.
Unless they communicate via a hidden service, in which case there is no exit node, so that particular problem is easy to avoid.

They are not overpriced. When eng with 10 years of expirience can make 250base + 500k in stock per year (or 4 years can get 1M in pre IPO lyft stock), it is hard not to see why Bay Area houses are so expensive. Area with money coming in will become more expensive to live in.

Not impossible but likely ever impossible to prove.

I have read a theory that in the earliest days before impermeable cell walls formed, all dna (or whatever it was then) was being madly swapped around because horizontal transfer couldn't be stopped. No lineage then, but an amorphous glob of all life. When life got more sophisticated it then differentiated, because it could block horizontal transfer. But again, who knows.

> He can't just sell it tomorrow but I could easily choose another rental.

At worst, the landlord loses money. At worst, the tenant is on the streets. Emotionally, finding a new tenant is business (maslow level.. 4?). Emotionally, finding a new home touches on your core safety and wellbeing (maslow level 2). Switching tenants means a new contract and new risk to lose money. Switching neighbourhoods means losing your neighbours, your area, any ties you have there, and having to build it all anew.

And since we're talking about areas where rent control is necessary, a landlord can quite easily find another tenant and a tenant has a hard time finding another house. But as you can see above that's just a "bonus".

Economic analyses tend to discount emotional factors, by their very nature. Make no mistake about it: landlords have a massive advantage in any negotiation with a tenant.

What the hell does "third grade company" even mean? Tinder probably respects your privacy more than Google.

Unless you're referring to worries about giving out your payment information to "random sites"? If so, that's dumb because it's 2019 and there are tons of dedicated secure payment processors out there. Very few companies would even be willing to process payments themselves.

I assume the GP is referring to something like this:

https://equilibriabook.com/an-equilibrium-of-no-free-energy/

> What about houses? Millions of residential houses change hands every year, and they cost more than stock shares. If we expect the stock market to be well-priced, shouldn’t we expect the same of houses?

> The answer is “no,” because you can’t short-sell a house. Sure, there are some ways to bet against aggregate housing markets, like shorting real estate investment trusts or home manufacturers. But in the end, hedge fund managers can’t make a synthetic financial instrument that behaves just like the house on 6702 West St. and sell it into the same housing market frequented by consumers like you. Which is why you might do very well to think for yourself about whether the price seems sensible to you before buying a house: because you might know better than the market price, even as a non-specialist relying only on publicly available information.

In this case, since the GP is referring to rent increases, the only members of the market are you and the landlord, and the landlord can leverage the large burden of moving to increase rent to a higher price than one that would be competitive on the broader market.

If you were a perfect rational decisionmaker you could perhaps have priced this risk in at the start and said "$1000/month is too expensive because I know the landlord will increase it 25% as soon as I finish unpacking". But in practice, people budget according to the price they're advertised.

Sadly this isn't going to help. Have lived in Portland for the last 25 years, Portland was for a time, was the unpopular rainy big town. Now, Portland is known for all sort of things.

Well, mentally ill people sometimes do break into houses and do harmless things, like making a sandwich or taking a shower, and this generally has severe consequences for them even though it was not malicious, and is of course experienced as a shock and/or violation by the owner who discovers it.

That, or universal basic income. No need for unions if workers can simply say no to a job and live humbly instead. Amazon simply wouldn't find anyone willing to work for them until they improved.
At least. Robots will (and are) reducing the number of employees, but humans are incredibly flexible components to stick in your pipeline. Fully eliminating the use of them will take a long time unless there is a large external motivator (i.e. politics/unionization making it untenable to continue hiring humans for the tasks).

Underwhelming Funding for Female Founders, We Ask VCS Why
Lately I've started using DrawExpress mobile app. It fits your description. A bit finicky, but I've adapted to its quirks. Swiping keyboard on phones is a quick way to enter a bit of text on node, and it fits well with gesture-based interface. The only problem, I find myself spending too much time manually arranging node positions.

Regarding structure, I agree with you that directed graph is most powerful. But for visualization and editing I would propose shaping graph into a tree. This reshaping can be done many ways, it's like a query into a DB. Here's a quick mockup made in yEd: https://i.imgur.com/LGTNbuz.png

While directed graph is necessary for internal data representation, tree structure is a perfect fit for many specific cases: categorization; argumentation (like this HN thread); tagging/grouping; lisp s-expressions. Trees capture those things beautifully, while enabling easy navigation with arrow keys or finger swipe.

Reshaping into tree allows for some neat layouts. For example, by scaling geometry down with each child, your whole graph can fit inside predictable area, without any node overlapping. See more here: http://treevis.net/

One could add a reactive capabilities to each graph node. The node would respond to different triggers by changing it's attributes, or relations to other nodes. The graph/tree can be built step by step via triggering specific node responses (add child, delete node, connect/disconnect). Responses could also change node attributes, to bring interactivity and ability to simulate mental models.

This is what I'm working on in spare time, but these days the bread-bringing job drains my energy away :( \

Great thread, BTW.
Unfortunately I should have guessed I would have someone miss the entire point I was trying to make (How the media constantly mis-represent things to the point that the public doesn't trust even if they accurately present the truth) because I was trying to be objective and politically neutral about a successful politician.

You just did the very thing I was complaining about!

They are claiming that how an image was cropped and where text was placed somehow indicates racism. You are concentrating on nonsense and not actually making an argument against any of his policies or any of the assumption of the advert.

As for my descriptions of Farage. They come from other Journalists such as Brendan O'Neill (runs Spiked!). As for the rest of my description they are fairly objective.

> Sad to see this rubbish on HN. Farage plays to the same racist tendencies as Trump and Bolsonaro do, with constant dog-whistling.

When someone says "Dog whistling" that is the same as when someone runs out of arguments and says "Well you know it true and you aren't admitting it". It isn't an argument of any sort.

You just did the very thing I was complaining about, and I don't think you even knew you were doing it.

Fair enough. There are parts of the country for which it is definitely true, though.
