Let's put it this way: you've put people into buckets. Great. Science says: if these buckets represent something inherent about the person, then you should be able to predict using this information.

Maybe you can predict the likelihood of someone getting depression? Or of having a high paying job? And those predictions have to be better than random guesses, and hopefully better than existing tests for those things.

So, where is the scientific evidence for Myers-Brigs? What exactly does the typing predict about a person that we can't predict better using other methods?

> unambiguous scientific "rejection"

Given that we have scientists reject man-made climate change and Darwinism, and, for the longest time, mainstream belief was geocentric, I would guess there is no such thing as an unambiguous scientific rejection of anything, and in fact, such a rejection would be - in itself - unscientific
My comment was specifically about Facebook.com and acknowledged that younger users are moving to instagram. I didn't say younger people are leaving all Facebook-owned subsidiaries.

Similarly, I referenced my circle of friends—who are not hacker news people—as not using Facebook either.
> "The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.” – Patrick Henry [1].

The citation given is incorrect and the two quotes are from unrelated debates. It is not at all clear that "everyone" here refers to citizens at larger rather than members of the state militia, that is, the duly constituted state militia, not the ad hoc militia of able bodied men.

> “The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.” – Samuel Adams [2]

This was in the context of a proposed amendment to the body of the constitution, that was rejected. And even here the caveat "peaceable" is thrown in, which is a loophole big enough to throw a whole busload of bans through.

I'm not going to pick through the remainder, which I assume are similarly ambiguous.

Either way I think this is a fruitless approach (namely attempting to clarify the preamble) -- the preamble to the amendment is clearly the motivation of it, but the body of the amendment carries the force. In the interests of public safety, the courts have reluctantly allowed the right to be infringed, and frankly, this is what everyone, including the NRA, wants. If courts rules that it was illegal to restrict the ownership or bearing of arms in any way, there would be a new amendment to supersede the second in a week.

Top 1% of capital owners are just mostly very old people with comparatively little income.

Indeed. Someone who bought their house in the 70s or 80s and has now paid off their mortgage and also been contributing to a pension fund for a 40-year working life could easily retire with a “net worth” of $770k. It would be a stretch to count them as “rich”.
I think we've already seen the shift with cellphones.

I think consumer facing performance processors will fade.

Data centers will continue to push for more performance. It could mean less rack space, less power consumption, and less to manage.

Cell phone/tablet focused processors will become powerful enough to handle the majority of daily tasks while enjoying extended battery life.
I've also used Myers-Briggs quite a lot in my 20s as well.

It helped me a lot to understand why and how some people function differently than others. Instead of thinking "this guy is an asshole", I began to think "I understand this guy does not behave correctly when dealing with this kind of stress" and I could improve the way I communicate with different types of people quite a lot.
Also, what people on HN seem to be missing is that with dating, I don't care where I get my "leads" from. I can be using every single dating app at once, so what do I care about clicking "enable dating" on Facebook?

Facebook gave me a notification to try FB Dating the other week. I clicked it, chose my pics, and was on the meat market immediately, receiving phone notifications like "Karen liked you" just like any other dating app. I click it, view their profile, and start messaging them. Being linked to Facebook profiles, I also have more trust in the other party which is how Tinder started out.

HN rants so consistently about dating apps that I think it's mostly just ranting about dating in general.

Facebook is ubiquitous in Mexico where I live. And when I go back to the States and meet people 20-35 downtown, I have yet to find people who aren't on Facebook. I think HNers vastly overestimate the exodus from Facebook, if there is one, just because we like to cover FB's privacy issues here on HN.
Segment actually does a pretty fantastic job onboarding new personnel and funneling them through security training. Recently gave a great talk here at the Bay Area OWASP meetup about how they've gamified security awareness training with an internal leaderboard and random CTF challenges.
You're supposed to put it back _at the end of the reservation_. Not every time you lock the car.
Probably to prevent accidentally taking the key. If you've ever used a zipcar, the key is affixed to the steering column. I assume they have an ignition interrupter that requires a proper unlock signal because otherwise stealing one would be matter of jimmying a lock or breaking a window.
I have the same issue. My complex installed very bright lights outside my window so I put up blackout curtains. It's great for sleeping but in the morning I have no clue what time of day it is, and I miss that "gentle wakeup" from the morning light.
Yeah I just saw it on HN homepage, By the timing of it an alert about -segment- or just a segment employee watching this comment thread might have forced them to come clean sooner than they were planning to?
Which is why I shared the opinions and behaviours of my brother, who is 16. He's that next generation.
You will be charged quite a bit if the key is missing at the end of your reservation. They do have your ID, driving license, and credit card on file after all.
> the battery may have died because it couldn't find a cellular signal.

I had totally overlooked this myself, thanks. If Zipcars without service are constantly phoning home and running down the battery, that could make the issue way more common, and explain why regularly-serviced cars still die on people pretty often. It would also escalate ZipCar's role from locking the car when the battery dies to actually killing the battery.

Beyond that, I do wish the social tie-in hadn't just been a line about networks failing us, but a more substantial look at the limitations of relying on power and data access. It's not just a sharing-economy issue; wholly-owned IoT devices, keyless-start cars, iPhones earbuds, etc. increasingly lack analog fallbacks. They're not just neglected when designing cheap IoT goods, they're being stripped out of existing products like phones and keyfobs for sleeker design.

It's a topic that's been on my mind a lot; whenever I travel abroad or to remote bits of the US, I notice that an increasing fraction of both services and products aren't viable. Beyond my inconvenience, it makes me wonder what will happen in 10 or 20 years. It's not uncommon to go somewhere remote and see everyone using the previous generation of products, either bought used or sold off cheap as they aged. But that's going to be increasingly impractical as those things demand nonstop data access.
People don't understand Myers-Briggs. The scientific experiments all test against questionnaire results, which are admittedly pretty useless. But the theory posits internal mechanisms, and nobody has determined a reliable to measure this yet (except expert-guided self-assessment - which is pretty reliable, but generally disregarded by researchers). And most of the studies don't even use this model, and fallback to a frankly ridiculous trait model.

The two fundamental distinctions made by the theory are introversion/extraversion and "judgement"/"perception" aka rational/irrational which remarkably similar to Dual-process theory's System 1 and System 2 thinking (as popularised by Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow).

Both of these models have a ton of experimental evidence validating them. Myers-Briggs just needs a reformulated hypothesis that removes all the Jungian jargon, and explicitly puts it in these terms. When that happens, and with advances in neuroscience, the flood gates for evidence for Myers-Briggs will open.

I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on this topic, and I'm vaguely planning to turn it into a book at some point.

In short, we humans seem to not completely like ourselves, or, rather, tend to see our own shortcomings. (Which is good.)

This is why a design that exploits human nature to the fullest also exploits the parts of the nature we don't like in ourselves but have trouble fighting, like greed, or laziness, or selfishness, etc.

So I suspect we'll see a rise of "ethical design", which pushes us to exercise our best qualities (as designers see them) and tries to downplay and suppress the worse qualities (again, based on the designers' view of ethics). Ironically, a conspicuous use of such ethical design could also be fueled by virtue signaling, a negative trait from the (designers') ethical standpoint.
Never have a down round! This must really hurt. SoftBank just put in $5bn at a $40bn+ valuation. Imagine how that cash just loses half it's value (from an investor perspective) instantly..
Here in Finland it seems (to an expat) that the baby is the one getting handouts, not the parents. The social program is about making sure every child gets what they need, regardless of the ovarian lottery.
In other words we have actual investment fraud happening here, because the only way you agree to -50% re-valuation is to admit you grossly inflated the valuations to begin with.

If I lied to a bank that I had assets worth $x as collateral for a loan and it was later revealed to be a lie, I would be headed to the slammer in no time. These guys had every intention of dumping this garbage onto the public markets for the rest of us to be left holding the bag.
Yea the ceo seems a bit of an egotistical guy, and felt we work was so awesome the “retail” markets would look past the shenanigans. He was wrong, and he’s back pedaling to salvage it.

Whereas tinder, instagram, and others value add is from their content, the value of Facebook (the platform) has always been the network.

Facebook as a company has always been chasing after content. This is because content has a direct and clear monetization strategy whereas helping people make use of their network is difficult to make money from. Well, it shows - $40bn in revenue, 80% of it in ads.

Helping people to use their network effectively is basically charity work to Facebook. How are you going to at-scale monetize that out? The answer: you don't.

But with some irony, after chasing content for over a decade, I think Facebook is now in a position to do some charity work. Similar to Google, who saturated their ad team's return on value and has it's employees working on moonshots all day, Facebook can now afford to sit on their content engines and attack problem spaces that are harder to monetize and solve but provide more meaningful value.

Long story short, I think it's the right time for Facebook's hayday to sneak up on us because it can quietly focus on adding real value via our networks without chasing after money from them.

I really like the idea of Facebook Dating, because 1) it already has the network and doesn't need to build it, and 2) it doesn't need to make money.

Most dating apps suffer under the pressure to make money and grow. For a dating app to grow it has to focus on building cohesive user bases that find value in each other and eventually creates its own ecosystems that damages the experience for others (i.e. hookup culture). While Facebook Dating might still have some of that, I could see it ending up as a more serious dating platform because it doesn't need to focus on user growth.

How would you monetize Marketplace? Facebook Dating? The answer is: you don't care that much, throw some ads on it and let it cover costs. 7-8 years ago when people were searching for Facebook's killer money printing machine, these projects would have a lot of pressure to make a lot of money. Nowadays, sheltered by the content engine that Facebook has amassed, these projects can focus on providing immediate and strong value through Facebook's core benefit (it's network) and hold off on how to make money for a couple of years.

That movie, like this sentiment about facebook, is now 9 years old.
If I look at who I know that is still using fb it is almost exclusively older people. I'm 33 and deleted my fb account, almost every person I know younger than me either did the same or was never on in the first place.

I see this being huge for older adults who are divorced or widowed, those are the people still using fb and I think would be happy to use this service.
> People trying "to hold on tighter to their already disappearing lifestyle" is a very important factor that needs to be taken into account for any calls to action.

This is what concerns me, calls to action that require our better nature to override our immediate self-interest require thoughtful and inspired leadership.

We have a real leadership vacuum right now: Boris and Donald, lightweight leaders in many countries (my own country, Canada, included), rise of Dictators and Fascists. We are not solving this problem with this team.
How do liquidation preferences work when a company goes public? Presumably shares are then just shares, and have a market value... Or are they converted into preferred shares?
In all the SaaS type applications I’ve ever developed, the privileged “Admin Panel” functionality is always on a private network accessible only via VPN access, which is authenticated via a password + private key. Then the Admin Panel itself has its own separate login, which is username + password.

Ideally the private key for the VPN is a hardware token, but I will admit in most cases it’s simply a file on the drive.

The Admin Panel has zero third party JavaScript nor client-side analytics.

I’m not sure this buys quite as much security as it might appear, because there’s probably any number of ways to piggyback on a valid session.

For example, there was a bug bounty Tesla paid out when a researcher was able to establish XSS by mangling their car name, which was read via the API and showed up in an internal dashboard as unescaped HTML.

So I think the biggest attack surface for Admin Panels remains a hostile client seeding XSS into unescaped fields, and CSP helps a great deal with this, but at the very least I don’t see any reason why these panels should be on a public URL.

You can say, well, they should have MFA on the panel, but I can’t shake the feeling that these simple measures avoid a huge number of attackers looking for low-hanging fruit.

It’s like putting SSH on a non-standard port. It’s theoretically meaningless but practically it’s a huge improvement, if only because it helps attack signals stand out against the script kiddie noise.

In Lisp world, you start your DSL with a simple defmacro, and iterate from there. Lexer, parser, type checker and compiler is already handled for you, you only need to add some code where the rules differ. For a DSL you create within your codebase, you almost never need to do extra work here.

My company switched from HipChat to Slack around 2015. I won't say hype didn't play into the decision, but IIRC there were two other motivations: 1) more reliable performance, 2) better integrations with Google Docs.

At the time it was claimed that this was really a whole new way to organize data and work. In practicality, not that much changed from HipChat. Pinned items and the ability to rifle back through conversations saved my bacon a few times, but looking back on it, I don't think they outmatch properly-organized documentation and wikis.
In my opinion, it might actually prove to be better than letting people decide based on super superficial attributes on dating profiles. Online dating completely sucks, guys have no choice, girls have too many bad choices.
After reading all your links, I'm still not sure why or where Differential Privacy is needed.

1) How could aggregated data (means, average, min max) be used by attackers? Aren't aggregated data already private? For example, the Google postgres extension returns aggregated data, why is DP required here?

2) In the case of sharing entire databases, if all the PII are removed, why does it matter that we can match two records from two databases? Yes we can do correlation between 2 databases, but if PII were not gathered and stored at all in any database, there would be no privacy issue in the first place.

Another thing to look into and try out are the "Clifton Strengths". Now unfortunately, you have to pay to take the test, but you can just buy the companion book and get a code along with it.

What I like about clifton strengths is they are more targeted, and you can more easily use the information to actually better yourself. You can focus on improving your strengths, or recognizing how they can or cannot be used in your profession.

For example, my #1 strength is adaptability. I do well under pressure and even look forward to emergency-like situations. I had always wondered why all the engineers would freak out when we would get hacked, or get DDOS'd, etc. and I would immediately spring into action and handle things, and even enjoyed these ugly situations. As a manager, if you know your team's individual strengths, you can better set them up for success.
