Scientists behind ‘sci-fi makes you stupid’ study refute original research
Being perceived as an unintelligent individual can lead to social rejection, and as with all things that pose the risk of social rejection, it will be avoided at all costs. When one feels that the group accepts them on their other merits, this reaction is defused. None of this seems particularly surprising - we humans have been avoiding social rejection for a very, very long time.
It takes one blow from a bat to the head to die. Yours is asking someone to risk death death, not a beating.

Were it simple fists I’d wonder what lack of training these officers have. Weapons are another matter.
We would call that "China," and the Chinese system presents its own social problems.
> The earth is a finite space with finite resources

All important resources that are either non-exhaustible or substitutable. While there are certain theoretical limits, there is no limit to economic growth. This is the cornucopian position.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornucopian

The Malthusian position, held by many scientists who do not actually understand what economic growth actually is, has been shown to be wrong time and time again.

> Do you really think we can get 8b people live like the average US/EU citizen ?

I believe we can get 80 billion people to live at a standard that far surpasses our current living standards. In due time, that is.

> What's the end goal ?

I don't know. Fully-Automated Gay Luxury Space Communism? Why does there need to be an end-goal?

> We all have cars, amazon same day drone delivery, eat meat 3 times per day and go on vacation every 3 months ?

We'll all have space-cars, same hour drone delivery, eat meat every fifteen minutes, and go to work for a week every three months.

> But at least I can sleep at night knowing I'm not actively trying to make things worse for future generations.

No you can't. What if future generations will think of you as "one of those fucking Malthusians" that held back human development by supporting austerity politics? What if you're completely wrong about all your beliefs about the future, just like Malthus before you?

Here's my story about looking for a co-founder for Polar:

https://getpolarized.io

I'm basically trying to build an integrated reading environment for people like researchers and students. You can kind of think of it like IntelliJ or Visual Studio but for books.

I shipped an MVP on Hacker News and right now we have about 5000 MAU. And our users LOVE us.

I just found out that Roger Craig. One of the Jeopardy champions used Polar to win Jeopardy.

https://superorganizers.substack.com/p/how-a-jeopardy-champi...

Now, being a solo founder is tough. A lot of VCs will hold it against you. However, one of the number one failures of a startup is having a bad co-founder.

My strategy has been to be VERY conservative here.

I identified five co-founders but just haven't had a good fit.

I think my biggest advice is to trust your instincts. Unless it feels perfect and you've been working together for a while don't pull the trigger.

My plan now is to have sort of running co-founder search and bring them on more as a senior hire with adequate compensation if I'm successful in finding them.

It's hard though. I'd go so far as to say it's harder than finding a wife.

They need to have your back at all times but unlike a marriage there's no actual love backing the relationship.

I may be misunderstanding what you are saying. Are you saying Ungar needs to to win more than 50% to profitably call? That seems incorrect. There is no situation between 2 players where you need to be right more than 50% of the time. Even if there was only 1 chip in the middle and your opponent bet 100 chips, you would still only need to win slightly less than 50% of the time. If there are 100 chips in the middle and your opponent bets 100 chips, you only need to be right 33% of the time.

Testing to see if I'm shadow banned again. Dang is a pussy.
True, but that means 25% of the power is in non-white hands.
NY has EZ-Pass, which is an automated toll-collecting system. Things aren't as efficient as they could be, but you are being misleading.
The obvious connection is who pays makes the rules. The US federal government uses access to Pell grants to motivate private educational institutions to do what they want, it can use access to any other funds to get Harvard to do what it wants, if it wants to.

Obviously it won’t, because if banning ROTC from your university doesn’t get your access to federal funds cut off affirmative action certainly won’t but they could.

> what I would love is a Kafka-like "event store with MQ semantics", which is in turn backed by an object store.

I use Druid for somewhat of an off-kafka store with object store flushing. It is not an MQ log, but the ingestion flushes to object store as each segment gets finalized.

And it will directly pull off Kafka & keep the data ready to be sliced/diced easily.

I set my Druid segments to get flushed out every 24h and the Kafka queue to be kept for 7 days, which means if I lose my Druid, it will rehydrate from Kafka on startup (and I can scale the real time ingestion nodes for a faster start, because "cloud" means money is time).

Though, I've been poking about Pulsar[1] and Pravega[2], which are not exactly Kafka, but red wine/white wine in choice.

That said, there's a fair bit of ZK in it, I'm starting to tire of ZK related issues in general (like you need to declare entire ensemble before JVM startups). Also patching it is harder than usual, since the devs have gotten used to saying "No" to FB asks from ZK. It doesn't make any progress, because patches sit on an "are we sure" pile.

It’s not a matter of ascribing good faith to any particular person’s arguments, but considering the trajectory of a movement as a whole. If you asked someone who supported the ACLU’s challenges Establishment Clause challenges in the 1950s whether the wanted to see a systematic erasure of religion from every aspect of public life, they wouldn’t necessarily have agreed with that outcome. But that was the result.

This is not an abstract concern about slippery slopes. It’s the fact that now only a minority of Democrats have a positive view of capitalism, and a majority view socialism positively. It’s the actual stated principles of climate justice leaders who have launched a broadside attack on capitalism, trying to associate it with everything from climate change to racism to colonialism. It’s based on things like the Green New Deal concededly using climate change as a pretext for massive economic restructuring.

Regardless of your views, you can’t help whose driving the bus you’re on.
How do you work with an individual who _insists_ they understand how it all works? Even when faced with hard evidence that contradicts their assessments, I'm still told I don't understand or I misinterpreted their words - basically gas-lighting me.

Arguing leaves me unmotivated and frustrated. Giving in is the wrong path. Going to others doesn't seem to move the needle.

Help.
It should be noted that Stockfish chess heavily prunes its searches because it too plays a "loser's game". Instead of searching for the best move, Stockfish narrows its search and simply tries to prove that the move it does pick "isn't bad".

Ameatur level Chess is about figuring out a good "trick": a powerful pin or maybe a fork that the opponent didn't see. So low-level chess is a "winner's game".

High-level chess, at least computer chess, is more about making fewer mistakes than the opponent.

---------

Bogey Golf is another one. Playing for +18 leads to a score of ~88 after a round of golf, solid for an amateur. Not good enough for the pro-leagues. You get onto the green in 3-shots and only have 2-putts.

Pro-players of course take big, aggressive hits. Tiger Woods in his hayday would get onto the green in just 1-shot (throwing out his back and knee, it certainly wasn't a healthy swing). But a typical player who tried to hit that hard would end up missing their shots, whiffing the ball, or just straight up sending the ball out of bounds.
Breaking the site guidelines like this will get you banned on HN regardless of how wrong another commenter is or you feel they are. Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here? We've had to ask you this more than once before.

It can be helpful to remember that when you go way out of bounds like this, you discredit the position you're arguing for. Assuming you're right, that means you're discrediting the truth, which helps no one.
I grew up in the early 90s in the pre-Internet days, so my idea of "punk tech" came from the old greybeards who wanted to hack on hardware, software and everything along the way. I think that spirit still jumps around by curiosity and idealism, usually through some new technology (like Mastodon, or cryptocurrency in the early days) or is satisfied with goalless explorations of tech, like tilde.club or a lot of the early hackathons and maker trends (3D printing, drones, battle bots, etc.)
Survata | Sr. Front-End Engineer, Sr. Data/Infrastructure Engineer, Sr. Full Stack Engineer | San Francisco | Full-time, On-site (Remote for the right candidate)

About Survata

Survata is a YC/venture-funded startup building the Brand Intelligence Platform. We offer a comprehensive set of tools that help our Fortune 100 clients understand and improve how they’re perceived in the marketplace, how aware consumers are of the value they provide, and how much consumers trust them to provide the value they promise.

About the Role

Survata has already built an excellent backend system for gathering and statistically analyzing data on consumer sentiment. But our revenue and client list are growing fast, which means we've got to adapt to new levels of scale in our data pipelines. We also are building out a suite of interactive, visually compelling, self-serve analytical tools to help marketers ask and answer sophisticated strategic questions (and visually communicate their results to internal stakeholders).

We need experienced technical leaders to work on our data pipelines, our Web API, and our React/Redux-based data visualization dashboard.

> underemployed

I don't get why we use this term. You're either employed or you're not. Just because you got an education in something that is no longer valued by society doesn't mean you're entitled to a job doing whatever you're educated to do.

Society rewards those that provide some good or service that is wanted/needed.

Furthermore, employment by others is not the only option. You can also work for yourself (except when the state forbids it through licensing and permits)
$46/kg, or $21/lb. Probably not worth a gym membership, but it would be the most money I ever saved taking a dump.

Not directed toward you specifically, but people over index on benefits when choosing between contract work and full time. Every benefit has a dollar value that you should you use when determining an acceptable hourly rate - that includes health, PTO, holidays, 401K matches, etc.

Companies don’t generally hire contractors to save money, they hire them because it is a lot easier to get rid of them. You should be able to charge a premium as a contractor not make less.

But then you better be damn good at budgeting, networking and keeping your eye on the market.
Do you honestly think that if you put this to a poll:

"In your view, is the purpose of addressing climate change: (a) to address climate change as an end in itself, or (b) a means for advancing socialism?"

that most Democrats in the US would choose option (b)?

FWIW, I'm a white person who used to think of affirmative action as unfair discrimination. That was true until I spent time volunteering teaching technical skills to kids in poor immigrant neighborhoods. Now that I have had an up close experience with these communities, I'm here to tell you institutional racism is real and we're far from it making sense to end these programs.

There simply is not a quick easy solution and those who are not oppressed simply have no real frame of reference to understand the problem. I encourage every person who feels these programs are unfair to spend time volunteering in poor minority communities.
I feel like there's a lot fewer SKUs involved in store frozen pizza than varieties available from a takeaway pizza store, and the volumes are also a lot higher.

So the trick might not be "cheaply and reliably automate making a fifty thousand a day of the same pizza" , but in the detail of "cheaply and reliably automate making a pizza, composed of any combination of the basic ingredients, but only amortised over a hundred an hour for a few hours each day".

Cloudflare | Austin, TX | Security

I'm looking to fill two roles on my team. We have a great security team and work in an environment where we are kind of in the middle of everything. Everyone at the company loves working with us and we have a huge amount of momentum.

Corporate Security Manager.
We need someone to help shape our IT and Corporate Security roadmap and the future of our corporate security postures. This person will have a ton of ownership and influence over the way our company works.

Senior Product Security Engineer.
I'm looking someone who can own the security of our newest products, coming out of our product strategy team in Austin. This person will work closely with our engineering teams things to securely build things like Warp, Cloudflare Workers, etc.

Feel free to email me directly. My first name evan at cloudflare's domain.
First, I get there's a lot of people supposedly looking for work but I've spent a solid 20 years now in a "we are constrained on labor" environment across a few industries. I think this is a problem more of what work people are able or willing to do rather than the existence of jobs themselves.

Second, the concept of "means of production" is now not just about the factory the workers work in but the factory that makes things on it's own. We have to accept that if someone else owns something, if they have property rights over it, it just isn't mine no matter how much I want it. If I own a breadmaker machine and it makes me bread anytime I want, I still don't owe anyone my bread no matter how much they want or need it. They can ask. They can't take.

A person might ask "why can't they take? what goes wrong when they have a right to your bread?" The answer is that without strong property rights, we fight over who gets to own eachother's stuff instead of making new stuff for ourselves. Making new stuff instead of trying to take someone else's stuff is how we have more stuff. And before anyone says we don't need any more stuff; If you don't need any more stuff, don't take anyone else's. I disagree; I want more stuff. I want a space ship. But I'm not going to try and take bread from another or a space ship from another. I'll have to find a way to buy or build my bread or space ship.

The five demands:

1. Withdraw the bill - which finally did happen, after much stalling.

2. Independent investigation of the police intervention.

3. Not classifying the mostly peaceful protests as riots.

4. Release of the many arrested protesters. (Who could face very long prison sentences because of previous point.)

5. Democratic elections of the HK government - which seems wildly optimistic but is apparently in the HK constitution.

Simply not true; the average oven installed these days costs more than all the cabinetry combined... cabinetry is cheap and easy to reconfigure.

The first result in Google for 'ovens US' even has it in their blurb...

I think there is at least one way forward that at least reduces the intensity of these conflicts. Increase the admission numbers of people at Harvard.

Stop treating it like an exclusive club that hands out occupational licenses for an elite class of the well connected few and give as many people as you can a quality education. With the money that these universities receive that should be possible. If increase in the amount of students would have even remotely kept pace with funding we wouldn't have the need to treat this like a zero-sum race game.
My current role has me interacting on a regular basis with the CEO and several VPs of a Fortune 500 company.

Now, don’t get me wrong, each of them have definite skill sets, but when it comes to business strategy, they’re just guessing like the rest of us. Of course their guesses are more informed than mine, but they are still guesses.

What I’ve noticed makes for a very effective senior leader is the ability to ask the right questions - they may have little to know domain knowledge, but they still have a good ability to smoke out a bullshit story.
