What’s your control? Do other schools in or out of the top 3% have earlier or later start times? How do you account for confounds like socioeconomics and demographics? If you don’t, what you have is an anecdote, not evidence. Others are pointing you to studies that look at real data and apply statistical rigor. You are arguing that your knowledge of a single example outweighs that evidence. That is precisely what people mean when they accuse you of using ‘anecdata’.

There are more level-crossings, which are less of an impediment since traffic is much less constant on railways. Similarly, there tend to be a lot of under and over passes. These are generally easier since railways are less wide than roads.

As such, railways are less of a dividing barrier.

I can even go along your last point. But it's a different argument to say "going through google is more efficient" or to say "you can't not go through google".
Frankly, they're using their market dominant position to force free developers into a distribution model that serves them as the payment processor. I'd not go so far as to argue those are separate businesses, but it's really a blatant abuse of their power.

I'm not sure I agree that modern architecture ruined social and architectural fabric of cities.

Yes, and the tech industry is already several decades old and multiple generations have come and gone, but today's tech consumers seem to be even less confident of poking behind the surface than those of the yesteryears.

And do note that there was a point in history when even basic literacy belonged to a small few who argued in exactly the same manner than tech people do today, i.e., that most people will never be able to understand basic science and maths, and we cannot hope for any better than to be benevolent dictators. Later history proved the hollowness of those claims. Today the majority in most of the developed and some of the developing countries are basically literate and what their grandparents couldn't imagine doing, they do effortlessly today. I don't see a single reason why computer sector should be any different. I'm not talking about a deep understanding of computers, just basic literacy that would obviate the excuse for tight, walled gardens and locked down devices.

This is/was generally waived as a matter of policy for a first offence.

That isn't an Immigration Law, that is a criminal law. An Immigration Court wouldn't have jurisdiction over those cases. Whether you are a citizen or non citizen if you illegally enter the country thats a crime, and in either case you would go before a criminal court not an immigration court. Again immigration status is not a crime.

>So immigration order might not be 100% accurate, but it's no more wrong than calling it a court order.

Federal Immigration Judges would disagree, Immigration Court is a...Court, and Immigration Judge's issue Court Orders, subject to the same penalties as violating any other court order.

Therefore economist created their own award and pushed it as 'nobel' price in economics. Quite hilarious .
I remember when the way to get people to "wake up" on creationism was to unite sub-groups and pump out loads of content that rationally went over all the scientific evidence against it and trusted people to make up their own minds, including all of the debates between atheists/anti-creationism and pro-creationism speakers.

Despite there being very little hope in rattling an entrenched belief like that, many people began to think outside scope of their religion and creationism is not as widely accepted as it once was.

I hope that in the future the new generation of rational believers on climate change can adopt a similar non-violent mindset instead of letting their passion get the best of them.
> This is the right way to do it

Might be convenient and great for Googles revenue, but it's the wrong way to do it if your priorities are to reduce the projects platform-dependence and to support the project with your full donation.

Usually, once I decide to contribute money to a project I want them to be as free as possible and I want them to get as much of that money as possible. Independent from the specific app store I pulled it from.

I think it's wrong that the Google Play Store treats donations like purchases.

Have ER considered teaming with an organization dedicated to digital freedom (like the EFF) for cases like this? Because just coming into a new space, pressing your own demands and ignoring pre-existing efforts looks very unprofessional (IMO at least).
One thing that amuses me - you can provide the very simplest tools (such as an issue tracker report) and some managers will still utterly refuse to use them, to the point of open hostility, because it somehow undermines their position to open a link and read an online report as opposed to asking a subordinate to read it to them instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> A bad manager will always make your life hell, regardless of what measuring tools they have available.

Correct. That's why developers with bad managers strive to make as few measuring tools available to them as possible. In other words, if you're a manager and your employees seem to resent and fight against more ways of measuring "velocity" and the like, you should probably consider that your usage of this data and how you express the results might need some work.

There is a time and a place for "constructive discussion" of certain topics and that place is apparently not Google. It might be regrettable that he (supposedly) does not understand it, but really it is not a surprise to me and should not be a surprise to any working individual that your workplace is not a space in which you discuss things of a sensitive nature (especially not if it is very visible).

Apart from: how to manufacture processed food, or resort to cannibalism, I was watching some documentaries the other day, where some guy just washed the toxicity out of wild berries, made some bread out of it and ate it.

During an event where we have zero vegetation and zero animal cover, the situation can get quite grim indeed.

We should start tackling the food problem more seriously. I, for one, support giving away some of my indulgences to feed the poor, even if I did 'earn' it. And eventually paving way for their employment and self sustainment.

This is one of those things, IMO, software engineers should think about - as people used to solving problems at scale.

I agree with the idea that "great evils are often the product of thousands of small steps that individually seem innocuous or trivial".

What I take issue with is these sort of insidious analogies (which, no surprise, tend to be analogies to Hitler or the Holocaust) where none exists except in the most circuitous of ways. Of course we need to be vigilant and, yes, the Holocaust stands out in our collective memory as the best proof of that. However, there is a vast difference between people going to the border of their own volition (put aside the question whether they are doing so under tremendous duress and exigent circumstances) vs the Jews during the Holocaust who could do basically _nothing_ to escape persecution. Immigrants could avoid whatever treatment they are receiving at the border by not going to the border altogether or going by other means. What exactly could the Jews during the Holocaust do? Nothing.

None of this is to say there aren't legitimate criticisms related to what's happening at the border. But drawing an analogy, however loose it is, just weakens the argument and serves to seriously understate what happened during the Holocaust.
How does one eat that?
The original post did make a very specific analogy between ICE and following operations performed by the Reich:

- Identifying citizens who practice Judaism or have Jewish blood for purpose of asset confiscation, ghettoization, deportation, and extermination

- Efficiently transport Jews out of European ghettos along railroad lines and into death camps

while I agree with what you wrote to some degree, I think the article's writer did mean the above specific analogy.
I agree, but it only takes only one really desperate person to start bombing refineries. If peaceful protests continue to have no effect, I fear that there will be someone willing to do something like this.

> Our job is to provide them safe tools, not teach them about tech.

But, you can't really provide them safe tools without fixing some of the behavioral components, can you.

"Don't try to lick the sharp parts, especially when running the machine" is an implicit and important (albeit obscure) part of the safety to operating, let's say, a band saw.

The current migration towards more sandboxing also helps.
