This is an excellent point. In my work, the interpretation error I see the most among people around be is to confuse significance with the magnitude of the predicted effect. I.e. if you use OLS to create a model, it is possible to have a statistically significant beta, with essentially no magnitude.

If you look at research on carcinogens, it is frequent to see something like "it is statistically significant that eating chemical X increases your risk of cancer" but when you read on, the magnitude of the effect is "increases risk by .0023%, for a cancer that already has a .6% incidence in the population".

My point is that people who are not statisticians (or people who use statistics), tend to be concerned with the magnitude of an effect, and frequently misconstrue the statistical significance for that magnitude.
This is the whole point of Philosophy of Science. The 'givens' for a scientfic theory are assumptions that everything else rests on. Quantum Physics, in particular, has lots of room for debate on what its various equations actually mean.
That's perfectly fine, he should not convert if minor tips are an obstacle. Conversion is possible if someone really wants to, but is not really encouraged (and perhaps even intentionally discouraged, different branches of Judaism have different attitudes towards this) - in stark contrast to Christianity and Islam, proselityzing and bringing every soul worldwide to God is not considered an important goal.

Judaism is for the Jewish people, and while some individuals may join (e.g. in marriage) the Jewish people, from the perspective of Judaism it's perfectly okay if all the non-Jewish peoples (i.e. most people in the world) stay non-Jewish forever and their relationship with God is different.

I think the debate on abortion is/was on when a life begins.

And not, whether a doctor has a right to perform medical procedure, killing a child at request of a mother.

To make the comparasing work for the debate on 2nd amendment,
I would the suggest, a comparable question should be:

Can a person end somebody else's life in an act of self-defense, within the framework of existing legal system?

If the answer is 'No', the rest of the debate on 2nd amendment would have to rest on decision for its next argument:

This is a completely separate argument made for 2nd amendment: is that it is a deterrent against an unconstitutional tyranny of government. But that discussion, does not have an analog in the abortion argument, at least in my view.

>Decent joinery and inbuilt storage spares residents having to buy flat pack furniture, while the living spaces, which all flow into an outdoor area, are designed to encourage communal dining and social interaction

All of these spaces seem to have in common that they're absolutely hostile to introverts who need at least some privacy and quiet. They also follow a consistent pattern of cramming as many people into a tiny space as possible to milk properties while billing themselves as driving some kind of positive housing revolution.

This is just open concept for housing and the CEO who talks about doing this out of some implied generosity is a comical stereotype of the sociopathic but charismatic SV executive.

If you want to build a community, you need to foster a common, meaningful goal for people to come together over, and it needs to be organic. It also helps if the people have a common culture/heritage. You can't commercialize community as a product to transient weekly renters from random places for any meaningful amount of time, it just comes off as forced and artificial, like corporate propaganda.
I had the opposite experience. A client of ours was souring on us and we invited them to our Slack to try and help them with some issues. Slack was the easiest way to help work through their issues. The ability to quickly and fluidly clarify ideas in a conversational manner as a discussion is ongoing make it far superior to email for technical conversations. Often in emails people seem to talk past each other, as there is too much time between emails and people lose track of the conversation too easily.

Video calling might be even more efficient during the call itself but personally I would spend so much time thinking about the call, preparing or worrying before the call itself that it would be a bigger drain on my productivity overall.

Not to mention that my personal productivity is not even the most important thing. In this case these Slack conversations fixed a client relationship and moved our work with them forward in a way that was far more valuable than any SLOC I could have produced in that time.

Correct, for the most part I don't think that, because it tends to make the threads more generic. For example, in this case the topic was about GDPR and identifiers in real-time bid advertising. It's fine if that leaps a single hop to, say, privacy issues. But if it leaps more than that, to every bad thing that Google has ever done, then the discussion will simply be "Google bad" vs. "Google good", which is far too generic to be interesting. It's a bit like what happens when you blend too many paints together. Everything becomes the same shade of brown. And this problem gets much worse when the things people bring up are predictable, i.e. have been repeated from the past. That guarantees a predictable discussion, which although it may be very agitated, has zero curiosity in it—and curiosity is the whole point of this site (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

How is American internet when taking into account its rural-bias and sheer size? My understanding is it's reasonably good, all things considered (not that it couldn't be improved, especially in dense metros). I remember seeing an apples-to-apples comparison chart a while ago, but I can't find it. I understand we're 9th in the world on average in 2017[1], which I believe is not a bad place to be considering our density. For comparison, the highly dense city-state of Singapore has a non-mobile average broadband rate about double ours. Our speed also rose 40% that year so we may have moved up the rankings.

Well, I can bet your shop's business model isn't raising hundreds of millions in capital while providing a below cost oil change service done by a team of 10 (5 of those being the CEO's buddies on administrative positions) based on the premise that one day the mechanics' labor will get automated and the company will instantly start making zillions per year.
A mall is simply a privately-owned small-town urban core "Main Street". Dead malls are just dead towns, which exist because people move to newer developments when land is cheap. Big box stores still exist.

I like this essay. I'm not anti-Slack, but I'm not much of an "IM" person. Partly comes from the way I work (I get "zoned," and don't surface for hours), and also because I used to work for a Japanese corporation, where IM was worthless.

I like the fundamental ideas he puts out:

• We felt busier, but were getting less real work done

• We knew the clients better personally, but we knew the product less

• We had more superficial conversations, but fewer substantive ones

• We were able to react more quickly, but our responses were less measured and effective

That said, Slack is a pretty cool tool, but there's lots of cool tools that I don't use that much.

Huh? People have been "co-living" in urban areas forever, even though in some areas it is technically illegal. It's technically illegal in the city I live in but everyone does it.

This just sounds like a corporate, rent extracting appropriation of "co-living".

Honestly I'm sick and tired of the normalization of rent seeking. It's draining our collective creative energy.

Somewhat dangerous advice. Might make you too accepting of a place that is just badly run.
The solution to the "housing crisis" is to establish a sensible legal framework that allows dense housing to:

- be owned by the individuals that live there if they choose to do so (renting should be a choice; owning should have similar accessibility)

- have a sensible framework for both renting and ownership that empowers the individuals actually living there e.g. no onerous lease crap or leasehold shenanigans

- actually be built e.g. kill off silly zoning

This sounds like none of those.

In most countries established interests block it. Hacking around it by just deciding that the way previous generations lived a happy life is inaccessible now and everyone should just live in Uber Flats is not the answer, sorry.

I think it's still super premature to assume society will all just shift to EVs, considering the advances being made in zero emissions synthetic fuels, and the utter stagnation in advances for battery tech. Even Porsche who just released an amazing EV to much fanfare is investing heavily in this research, and should it be properly industrialized, it has potential to be highly disruptive to the EV market. All the infrastructure is already there, and altering an existing ICE to run on 100 octane-equivalent synthetic fuel is trivial. If you think big oil is just going to sit idly by and watch the entire transportation industry abandon them, you'd have to be quite naive.

You're dead on, I think. There's a few things to consider:

1) There's a general anti-tech sentiment that is a huge defining part of our zeitgeist. It's only a few years old and I'm already tired of it and articles like this one contribute to the fatigue.

2) The NYT is leaning very hard into this fad for a variety of reasons - good for their bottom line, good for their self-image, etc. There was a very funny one a few weeks ago where the NYT "took down" Google's terrible ToS - until someone (in the comments) pointed out the NYT one was even worse. If you're shouting and pointing at someone else, people won't have time to look at you.

3) Lately, I keep being reminded of the Selfish Gene, which has a few chapters devoted to Evolutionary Stable Strategies. In essence, Tech has gotten so big that being a "tech critic" has become a lucrative (high reward/low cost) position to take, like being a cheater in a monogamous population. Any environment can support a certain percentage of such defectors, though if there are suddenly too many, it stops being lucrative and a new stable equilibrium will be reached. I highly recommend it, it has really helped me make sense of these rapid shifts.

This isn’t a slack thing.

This isn't a Slack thing per se, but it is a "direct line of low cost comms to the team" thing, and Slack encourages that. There's an implicit cost to things like face-to-face meetings. You can literally bill for them, so they don't happen very often (relatively speaking). By using a chat app you can bombard a team with requests for free, and there's an expectation that they're not going to push back because the 'real time' nature of it means they won't have time to carefully consider a negative response. It's much easier just to say yes, so teams do. A lot of clients abuse that.

Managing clients is hard, and it's a real problem.
