When people are talking about debt as a problem, they're not talking about < 1 month credit card debt, they're talking long-term debt where you're paying a significant amount of interest. Debt that you pay off, and don't pay interest on, is not a bad thing. Heck, even debt that you do pay interest on, is not a bad thing in certain cases—mortgages in a healthy real estate market, for instance.

That's just a 'bonus'.

We don't talk about politics or religion at work for the same reason that we use money instead of barter.

If we only used barter we could only trade when we could find matching goods/services between trading partners, by using money instead we avoid the matching.

If you discuss politics at work you risk a situation where some people cannot work together because of incompatible views which are essentially irrelevant to the work being performed.
Keep in mind Popeyes is not really fast food. Unless you're ordering fried chicken, everything is cooked to order. They are bound by physics as to how fast they can cook a piece of chicken while keeping it delicious. Add assembly time, and even when it's empty, the cashier will tell you "it'll be 10 minutes" on a sandwich order.

Other things that a non-patron of Popeyes should know:

* There is a daily special (Wednesday is sandwiches in my region, it may be different in yours).

* There are coupons on the web site

* It is more expensive than fast food

* Being slightly mis-treated is part of the Popeyes experience. It's sort of how Chickfila is known for being incredibly nice to all patrons . . . well Popeyes is the opposite. If you don't leave feeling somewhat slighted, you didn't quite get the full experience.
When I worked at Google, we made a prototype of a non-grid spreadsheet-type thing. More graphical than tree-like, but the same underlying engine could be used for other purposes.

There is nothing 'evidence based' here. There is nothing wrong with the comment, no evidence it is an attempt to 'discredit valid arguments or derail conversation'. That's just a completely baseless accusation and, again, the site guidelines ask people not to do that. The user's affiliation is listed right in their profile, to boot.

[Edit: mistook you for the original commenter and fixed that up]
> "hereby ordered" = "hereby ordered"

Furthermore, doesn't "hereby" mean specifically "this thing that you are now reading/hearing/seeing is the instrument of the order?" In other words is he issuing an order via a tweet?
Probably because our datasets are just as valuable as the neural network topology and weights, and as the founder of several companies that use deep learning theres no way I'd let our datasets go out to machines we don't control

Coincidentally, this kind of "modelling the question" is what IBM's Watson is/was supposed to be uniquely good at. It seems like Google hasn't even really considered entering the same space. Maybe each query has too high a incremental cost to run for them to be profitable right now?
I use Spotify but something I do not enjoy about their playlists is they redefine genres. I noticed that all of their house genres are filled with auto-tuned singers and cheap sounding music (chainsmokers, swedish house mafia). This isn't the kind of house that is played in clubs or is remotely reflective of the genre. You have to look for things like "housewerk" to find actual music that reflects the state of the art in this space that djs themselves enjoy listening to.

The same thing has happened with some rock genres, I've seen Spotify build playlists of pop bands who've taken the image/art of a hardcore/heavy rock band to create this really confusing situation where you are expecting a raw rock sound but you get a heavily produced pop sound.
> There's a significant difference between an ideology and an identity.

I suspect that many Muslims consider that to be their identity, not just their ideology.

> Why—whenever the question of hate comes up—is HN so quick to rise to the defense of the hateful?

Because I'm hateful (to at least somebody). And so are you. We don't defend the hateful because the hateful are so wonderful. We don't defend them because we agree with them. We defend them because we're defending us some time down the road.
It's not selective enforcement.

HN users get to vote what shows up on the front page. A certain ratio of votes-to-flags triggers removal. It's no more censorship than voting for a politician censors their opponent.
My empathy is reserved for victims. I don't see how siding with antisocial actors and taking a permissive stance on crime is supposed to improve society. I literally can't understand the mindset of such a belief other by applying hipster contrarianism to morality.

This is precisely why these discussions should be limited and isolated to groups who need to specifically work on them for products.
Personally I don’t like ads not just because of the tracking but also because most advertisements are trash or malicious in some way (scams, malware, etc). Truth is, most people already have good products and those don’t need heavy advertising - only trash does.

Also, even if we assume these ads are benign aren’t they still an inconvenience? And if so, isn’t this totally normal that people will find ways against it? Isn’t the whole point of computers to make our lives easier by automating away boring tasks?

Because the OOP concept doesn't map to how a computer actually operates on data, and FP does much more. It's certainly much easier in a Functional language to optimize for the CPU cache and to support concurrency and parallelism.

Find me three examples of actual white nationalists or child pornographers on YouTube. Every time someone makes this claim, I challenge them to substantiate it. Most of the time, people don't respond and the rest of the time people provide links to generic conservative channels that are anti-immigration, do not believe in the mutability of gender, etc. but are nowhere even remotely in the realm of believing in the supremacy of the white race or supporting the expulsion of non-whites from the country.
This is why nothing gets done.

- Dealing with petty crime that makes everyone miserable is insensitive to the homeless/addicts/etc who are stealing people's stuff and selling it.

- We should send people to provide garbage pickup to people occupying spaces that don't belong to them, but make sure that they aren't disturbed.

- We should be housing first, but not with housing projects.

But I also care a lot about the politics of Google employees insofar as they exercise a tremendous amount of influence over both elections and people's ability to broadcast their messages to the world.

I don't have a link, but you can trust me when I can say that I've had discussion with white-nationalists on Youtube.

They gather around conspiracy-related videos. The "discussion" is mostly in the comments / private messages, not actually in the videos themselves.

Its been a long time since I've actually hunted down white supremacist groups on Youtube, maybe things have changed. Follow enough conspiracy theorists, and you eventually get to comment-sections which are almost entirely composed of white-supremacists talking about nonsense.

------

With regards to child-porn, its less actual porn and more compromising positions (links to child gymnastics, children playing in pools with wet shirts, etc. etc.). Not actual porn, but its clearly sexual in nature (even if not originally intended). I'm sure you're well aware of the problem however, its been discussed to death. I'd rather not revisit that subject personally.

In any case, the COMMENTs are the goldmine for child-pornographers. Its clear that they are sharing child-porn off Youtube. They just use Youtube as a methodology to find each other and communicate.

Youtube comments are practically unmoderated. Youtube practically has no moderation on comments what-so-ever.

------

That's the thing about Youtube's recommendation engine: its really good at preventing people from seeing some groups. But if your Youtube history matches a profile (ex: child porn or white-supremacy), you actually find those groups rather quickly.

It takes some effort to actually pull yourself into those groups however, and you taint your Youtube account history while doing so. So its not really something I like to do on a whim.

Details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O13G5A5w5P0

I know Youtube changed some stuff this year (fewer comments on gymnastic videos, high-school wrestling competitions, etc. etc), but its all automatic. Without actual moderation, the problem will only arise once again.

Playing devils advocate a little with some of the comments, I think this is a long time coming for China. The trade imbalances, current manipulation, and other elements of Chinese governance that has allowed them to get away with so much, for so long, has reached a zenith. If previous administrations of all stripes had done more to protect American interests, perhaps the strong measures of today would not have been necessary.

“Widely debunked” is too strong. They’ve released a new study where they double down on that conclusion: https://journalistsresource.org/studies/economics/abortion-c...
The U.S. business community decided years ago that manufacturing should move overseas. Ever since, the entire U.S. economy has been centered around the assumption of cheap imports, with the exception of one key product: microprocessors, a product where the U.S. has long retained dominance. This dominance provided an opportunity for balance in the U.S. trade relationship with China, but the leverage was never really used to truly demand changes to trade practices. Now, the U.S. is starting to wonder if moving everything to China was such a good idea, but due to Chinese microprocessor advancements, the U.S. lacks that key trade leverage item they had to realistically negotiate, and many of their traditional 'negotiating' techniques won't work with China.

The U.S. can't go to war with China.

The U.S. can't ban Chinese imports.

The U.S. can't overthrow Chinese Government.

Just as U.S. has built their whole economy around imports, China has done the same with exports, they need to put people in jobs and keep the exports flowing, so they have no real incentive to rework a favorable deal.

So really the U.S. is relegated to performing a Symbolic Trade war: Declare China a Currency Manipulator, Stir the pot in Hong Kong, Requesting Companies return to the U.S.

All the while, the markets are pretending the Trade War is real, delivering massive swings for large investors capable to profiting from the volatility.
There’s a decent chance this centuries old authoritarian method, which is more like millennia old, is actually the best way of dealing with it.

Humans are more or less the same as a few millennia ago. Our technology is more advanced, we’ve more or less covered every corner of the planet, we have birthed billions of humans and built millions of organizations of every stripe, and dealt with as many management issues as there were and are people.

We haven’t significantly advanced in our cognitive capabilities, we’ve just learned how to outsource more to experts and computers. If there’s one difference between us and us a few millennia ago, it would be that there are so many more humans on the planet that we probably don’t have a role in society for everyone. Under, e.g. a feudal System, every person had a functional role, and those that didn’t could at least point a spear in more or less the correct orientation. Vagrants of course were prosecuted and often pressed into service doing something somewhere for somebody.

In 2018, Google had ~99K full time employees. That’s larger than most cities, and historically, most countries. At that scale, you eventually need to tell most of them sit down, shut up and fall in line. Check their problems at the door, and if they really really need to fight about something, do it off premises on their off time without company resources, just to keep the peace.
I lived in all three of those places in the early 90s (as a UW student and with my aunt near Alaska Junction in West Seattle). No, at least then, they weren’t as bad, or bad at all.

It doesn't need to be a specific TODO file.

I have a dev log in org mode. Any thoughts about what I'm working on go there. Including TODOs. It's always open, so there is no open/save/close process.

Of course, I have to update it. But it's just one more file that gets updated. It's not onerous.

Plus, I'm not destroying documentation about my development process. I have used this method since I started developing professionally 15 years ago. I can go back over a decade and look into why I did certain things for a piece of code and how I decided to break the work apart.
A better way is let the content speak for itself instead of relying on the person's identity.

How to write good OO code: write it like it's supposed to be Haskell. Avoid state, favor composiblity, prefer static functions, treat classes like types, throw errors to enforce type safety. All the fancy OOP design patterns and SOLID stuff just enforce or implement the principles which are provided by the semantics of strongly typed functional code. It's easier to be a bad programmer in Python or Java than Haskell, but being a good Haskell or Rust programmer is no more easy or difficult than being an equally good Python or Java coder, IMHO.

> Didn't Apple take a sales hit because their stuff is too expensive

I don't think so—or at least, other phone manufacturers don't seem to think so, because they're offering up even more expensive phones. For instance, the Samsung Note 10+ is launching any day now starting at $1,100, and the 5G version starts at $1,300.
There are also a lot of U.S. citizens who make a living working in roles that are part of that china->U.S. supply chain. Lots of potential unforeseen consequences that I'm not qualified to assess. But if you had an ideological desire to, for example, roll back a half century of increasing globalization in an attempt to bring back the halcyon days of stable, high paying U.S. manufacturing jobs then you might in your private views be willing to accept a couple of decades of suffering to get there. Of course you'd also have to believe that restoring U.S. manufacturing would bring back those production jobs, and not just sell a lot of robots.
