yes, i totally agree - as much as i like the terms of my license, if i came across an interesting software that used the license, i probably wouldn't try it out just because the cost of understanding any new license is too high.

i've more or less given up on the software that I intended the license for, but i mention license here in the hopes that one of these open-core companies will create, vet and popularize a license with similar assurances

Seriously, the ranking of HN comments in organic Google results is a little bit off-putting in some cases.

Someone dialed up the weights on HN comments way past where IMO a potentially throwaway remark should be scored.

And I say this as someone who tries to make substantive and significant HN posts on the regular.

The text doesn't go into detail, but I think the GP is right. You can model this as cooperative vs preemptive multithreading.

In a preemptive model, each process just does its thing until it gets interrupted by the scheduler, and then then that process does its thing until it gets interrupted in turn. This is the "church of interruption" model. Its the responsibility of the other (scheduler / person) to signal to you (via an interrupt) when your turn is over.

But in the cooperative multitasking model, its the responsibility of the speaker to hand the baton back. It is vulnerable to a single person / process dominating the whole space by talking / running forever. And this is totally what happens when the two cultures meet - I have a friend who is 100% church of interruption. I came back from a retreat feeling calm and peaceful. We talked on the phone for a few hours the next day and I patiently waited for him to be done before I replied - which took about 3 hours. He was vaguely confused / annoyed at me for doing that. Apparently it simply didn't occur to him that if he wanted to know my thoughts he might need to ask me for them.

In the cooperative multitasking world, the golden rule is that all programs should run for a short amount of time then yield back to the scheduler so it can run something else. Its not so cut and dry for humans - I think "speak briefly" is a lossy summary of the rule because it often makes sense for one person to do most of the talking in a conversation. But in the "strong civility" culture its the responsibility of the speaker to be aware of tracking that, and usually do so only with the blessing of the group. Taking all the air in the room is a faux pas.
Maybe so. I guess that we'll see.

> thinks they know everything, but really doesn't have a clue

This is a somewhat separate problem from whether someone is an interrupter or not, though conversational style can have an influence on when miscommunication is likely to happen.

> They don't let you explain critical detail about something because 'they got it they got it'

Well-meaning non-interrupters who “think they know everything but really don’t have a clue” can just as easily miss critical details, when the speaker wrongly assumes they understand something but never stops to verify that. At least the interrupter typically makes their ignorance obvious, giving others a chance to prepare some response/workaround.

In my experience it is entirely possible for both interrupters and non-interrupters to be (or not be) empathetic, perceptive, conscientious, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, humble, presumptuous, judgmental, aggressive, ...

Reminder again to never hold gift cards. I had a family member who was gited a $3,000 travel voucher with an agency - I told them to exchange it in for flights asap as you can book up to a year out, change the tickets later and it's better to be a creditor with a national airline than a likely-going-out-of-business-because-of-online travel agency
it is a commercial license, though it differs from any other commercial license that i'm aware of in that it offers limits on the terms that the owner can dictate, eg price limits and right of resale

Allow me to explain the many faults of this license, using the original Greek Hippocratic oath as an example:

> I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrong-doing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.

The original Hippocratic oath, even if it's not in vogue today, explicitly defined physician assisted suicide and abortion as "harm". I'm going to take a flying leap here that Ehmke is probably pro-choice rather than pro-life (not sure about Ehmke's stance on physician assisted suicide, but the general read one has of progressives is they're generally in favor).

> The software may not be used by individuals, corporations, governments, or other groups for systems or activities that actively and knowingly endanger, harm, or otherwise threaten the physical, mental, economic, or general well-being of underprivileged individuals or groups.

Under certain people's definitions (certainly Hippocrates', or at least whoever was responsible for the text of his oath), using software with this license in any activity related to furnishing abortions or physician-assisted suicide would be a violation of this license.

In other words, great, you don't want bad people to harm vulnerable people with your software.

Now please define "bad", "vulnerable", and most crucially, "harm."
Easy enough to make the content authenticate itself, instead of repeating cryptographic work for each viewer.

E.g. every 64k block contains a SHA256 hash of the next 64k block. When a user seeks, you provide the hash of the first block they'll be receiving over a trusted channel. (It already can exist at start of stream RSA signed or whatever).

But that's probably a pain when you have so many different devices to support.

(It also makes it harder to figure out what content people are watching... Though I think they use variable bitrate encoding which will fall to traffic analysis).

I don’t even know what agency in the government did this. Or that I was part of an investigation. Or anything. Different people at different positions in the bank would say the same thing “the computer says your account is flagged” “the system says your social security number is flagged” etc. When I would ask what “flagged” means they would just repeat nonsensical shit. All they would really tell me is that they had no control because a government system had flagged it.
I feel like I'm getting worse at communicating as I get older.

My former partner kept telling me I don't listen.

Which resulted in my thinking "What, what does that even mean?".

To this day I am still trying to learn how to listen.

I am also very much aware I am an interrupter. I know how bad this is and even so it is still hard to stop.

I also interrupt when I am excited and enthusiastic and when I like the person I am talking to.

I think the two are connected. One is less inclined to interrupt if one is actually truly listening.

Interrupters aren't having a conversation with you. They are having a conversation with themselves and not listening, just waiting to talk.

The findings are multi-layered and complex. But it is clear that some products/devices actively share data about consumer behavior to 3rd parties for analytics. It is part of the product design (and revenue stream). TVs appear to be worst offenders. Most consumers of TVs don't have the wear-with-all to understand the impact to their privacy and make effect product choices based on that criteria. Much less the motivation: Consumers want the latest technology at the best price.

Sounds like 2 cultures, and the adaptive person realizes who they are speaking to, and adapts to that culture to have better conversations.

I was raised as a 'civil' person, but learned that in some groups, you get a better result & energy as an interrupter.

Another dynamic is high overt conflict & emotions vs low overt conflict & emotions cultures. High overt will seem like they are arguing passionately about something and they will never see each other again, and 10 minutes later are having tea like it's no big deal, because the emotion level isn't really a big deal to them. The same emotional display in a non-overt culture and you can be fairly certain that the conflict is a a fairly big deal, and 10 minutes later, it won't recover.
I find it unfortunate the apparently real prospect of having "a full and complete in-person conversation using only acronyms" a la that scene from MASH [irony realized] has moved from aware comedy to ridiculous in-person reality.

Only if they can issue the money at will. If the issuance of money is controlled by a distributed transparent cryptographic algorithm, then the power from issuing the money is not in the hands of the issuers (miners, in the case of cryptocurrencies). And that's a good thing.

Getting a charter plane has been quite difficult since the 737MAX grounding.

Any excess capacity has been soaked up.

There have been lots of unusual chartering by airlines that don’t usually charter. Air Canada had been using some, and it’s exceptionally rare for them to not use AC-branded planes.

mission-driven, autonomy, ownership, etc that most top-end software companies prioritize

“Top-end software companies” like say Google? Once again you look at the real world and find that companies find a reliable means of attracting and retaining staff is high pay.

What if you got paid your bonus not in cash but in paid time off? You could use that time for more self-actualisation. But (pretty much) zero companies offer it and no employees demonstrate a preference for it. In the real world money is what people want.
"You're not listening" depends on the context. In a calm conversation...well I've never heard it in a calm conversation. In a heated conversation, it can be you misunderstand or just as likely they're poorly communicating and growing resentful at not being understood.

On your point on interrupters not listening: a big point of this article is that a skillful interruption moves a conversation along by allowing swift communication of understanding, so time isn't wasted repeating shared knowledge. A poor interrupter, a Barker, is as you describe - just throwing their own mess out there. If your interruptions cause irritation, it is because they aren't properly tuned or else you're dealing with someone from the Church of Strong Civility.

You can still paint with 200ms of latency, it just isn't very pleasant. Atom adds an average of 50ms of latency, people still use it: https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/.

As far as pointing devices, people are apparently habituated to the 50ms response time, and massaging of the lower-latency data only showed effects above 16ms: https://wp.cs.ucl.ac.uk/sebastianfriston/wp-content/uploads/...

I think artists are more interested in pen/display combinations though. There's a study of touch dragging, where the average is somewhere around 6ms: https://www.tactuallabs.com/papers/designingLowLatencyDirect...

It still seems like it's mostly about having the bandwidth to drive a 240hz or higher display though. The ongoing computation required for painting is minimal. Unless Wayland or X are doing a lot of IPC on every frame there's no reason to write a new graphics stack.

I had a team mate once who would go on and on and on explaining the same point over and over and elaborating a million different ways and it was extremely frustrating because not once would there ever be a break in his speech to give others the chance to ask questions (so he'd explain what we actually didn't understand) or to reply and move the conversation along. It was quite frustrating.

Many of us resorted to talking over him until he noticed, stopped, and let us reply. Surprisingly impervious to interruption.
Not anymore you heathen.
The other way of solving the problem is to let people kill each other fighting over dwindling resources as the planet dies and becomes sterile, because we're not smart enough as a species to find and maintain a sustainable state of equilibrium with our environment. This scenario is apparently the one we're choosing, by default.

Human industrial/economic activity is what's killing the planet. The planet cannot sustain the side effects of an economy of 7 billion people. It doesn't matter what you think, it doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter if you recycle, or drink out of paper straws, or vote for the green party, or switch to hydrogen cars, or bury your head in the sand. If you want to solve the problem, but don't want to have less children, then figure out another way to reduce the population by billions of people. I can't wait to hear it.

Because it's standard inflation drivel. It's almost word to word the standard spiel that your old cranky uncle writes in their FB page. You can see the same logic with almost sentence to sentence several times a day in reddit discussions. Incidentally both left and right ideologues use the same reasoning.

>> money is transferable debt
>> Crypto currency view of money is that money is a store of value. Money is far more subtle and interesting than that.

I would say, modern money is debt, transferable or not.
It is interesting in a sly way as the true nature is hidden from the populace at large so that money as a system of control remains effective.

I think the major problems we face w.r.t money are due to this dual nature of money. You cannot simultaneously satisfy both the creditors and the debtors.
Cool tech and good use of NLP. but isn't the privacy policy system entirely broken? It's like driving on unmarked, unpaved roads, why don't we have a global template that's list in the beginning a checklist that is human understandable/comprehensible quickly like

Etc

Without something like that the problem is the companies could change the wordings and the neural net could not detect until trained again which is potentially more dangerous!

Why do these travel companies always go bust in a way that leaves people stranded?

Surely the management must have known a week or two ago that the company was about to go under. In that case, stop anyone flying out but still bring people back. By the time they actually cease trading there should be few people left abroad. Some managers in Thomas Cook must have known that people flying out were going to end up stranded and they just let them go.
It's only implied, but surely the idea is that "CSC" oriented people expect conversations to swap speaker-listener roles through the current speaker yielding rather than through an assertion by the current listener.
