In western societies, this debate is relevant and I strongly side with the poster you replied to. That being said, reasonably unbiased filtering should probably be allowed in some form.

Raise the dues by about $5 and pay for GSuite? You aren't going to "advocate" much against real estate developers without paying tens of thousands of dollars to a lawyer anyway, so maybe you should revise your cost structure even more dramatically.

Source: our neighborhood's HOA spent $53K on legal fees to disallow the construction of a 4 story retirement home right across the road from us. This took 2 years and we lost: the other side can just wait you out. Yearly dues were raised from $300 to $450 to pay for this fail.
"Stuff like this" you mean walking/biking/public transport? It's already replaced cars in many places, including what's in the OP.

I don't know if the personal automobile is one of the best inventions...it's built on the back of climate change and has led to less efficient infrastructure and less efficient society in the name of slight convenience. If carbon was priced properly based on its negative externalities, cars would be a LOT less attractive.
aye - but given that logic wouldn't it be beneficial to expand the talent pool of founders and innovators by building more efficient capital distribution mechanisms? A brilliant but rational founder may not be in a position to work without pay for years until well into their 40s, and by these statistics the top 1% of workers would lack capital to invest in their own businesses until they're in their 50s.

We now understand that a program that can secretly take screenshots at will can spy on all your conversations and steal your credit card number. That isn't quite as bad as root, but, honestly, for most users it's pretty close.

Wayland is absolutely doing the sensible, conservative thing when it comes to screenshots.
The problem with the analogy to the phone system is that conversations via phone are transient and private. There is no place with the AT&T logo on it where you can go and see that awful thing that person said. The internet itself is a much better fit for the phone company analogy, and indeed internet service and backbone providers have pretty much entirely been able to stay out of this.

A better (though still imperfect) analogy really is media: TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations. And indeed you see similar problems there as the online media companies are facing now. The biggest difference is that traditional media companies were forced to make editorial choices because of physical constraints - physical space for print, airtime and spectrum for TV and radio - so this question of whether you could just let anyone say anything in your publication or on your broadcast just never really came up.

Nobody is questioning the convenience of cars.

However, if you have ever had a no commute life- whether it be full remote, or a walkable commute- I think you may just happen to flip your tune. It is a simple delight. If we could build a world around this I think we could be doing something really meaningful and beneficial for society as a whole.

Think grocery stores, doctors, etc all within walking or public transport distance. Imagine if you only needed your car to go visit friends that were far away or to go visit some place that's hard to get to.

I have experienced the full spectrum. I've had a super commute from Olympia to Seattle. I've biked to the train station and ridden with my buddies down to Kent. I've walked 8 minutes to the library where I was an intern. I currently work from home. Cars are a burden on society- one I accept because I occasionally like to take the dogs to the beach or go hiking, but believe me, life is better the less car you can involve in it.

I also happen to enjoy having a cheap old truck as a hobbiest activity. Still, I only drive it on occasion and I love every minute of it. But it is amazing to not depend on it.

Seems like a stretch. We suck at swimming (compared to bears for speed or distance). The breath thing seems unlikely, polar bears for instance seem quite adept at swimming underwater. Hair doesn't seem an issue either, hair (assuming it's not knotted) doesn't easily catch on things, and hairy bears seem quite adept under water. Sure whales used to be hairy (and has some residual hair today), but that's more the lack of need than any lethal hair+water problem that kills them off before they reproduce.

I've seen numerous speculation on the finger wrinkles, possibly an adaption.... or possibly just happenstance. Sure today's fingers prune significantly, not sure they would do the same if heavily callused by a decade or two of hunter gathering for all your food. In any case it's not unique to humans, macaques have similar and I suspect it's noticed because they bathe. Couldn't find any information on other primates.

[edit for minor spelling/grammar tweaks]
But the spears and bows did not come along until well after the walking upright. We know that from the fossil and archeological record.

Of course, it's still possible that those who could walk upright could throw stones better I suppose? So the fundamental idea of tool use has merit. But the tools would have been far more primitive than spears and bows. And still, the walking would likely have happened before the stone throwing, so there's still a little uncertainty even with the idea that it helped us with primitive tool use.

I think it's probably more that you could see predators better and get a head start for the tree. But I have no data to back that up, it's just my gut hunch.

Nice article, I'd be curious to know if/how their engine abstracts the complexity behind multi-currency transactions, or whether they rely on the accounting model to handle multi-currency.

We built our own double-entry accounting engine at my previous company, and while the engine was not as fancy as what Square describes, the real challenge was building out the accounting models that manipulated the engine's primitives.

To this day, I have yet to find another resource on multi-currency that is as solid as this one:

In some, ways, it seems like Yvon's trying to undo the damage Patagonia did in its earlier days. Like... some sort of good act to absolve it and him of his "environmental sins".

But, this is too shallow, and too pessimistic, to be true. YC is a bouldering and climbing luminary. He put up some hard climbs and boulder problems, some right in LA (Chouinard's Hole at Stoney point comes to mind, but it's an easy, fun one). His attitudes have permeated down into the bones of climbing culture today. It's a "nut up or shut up" kinda sport. Maybe that's why it attracted him.

As another commenter said, he smithed his own tools and hardware. Little known fact: the company Black Diamond was created by a group of people that bought the department from YC/Patagonia as it transitioned to soft goods more.

It's awesome that he's still around, fighting the good fight, trying to save our little globe. It's awesome that he's transitioning his company to ever more sustainable practices; and pushing suppliers to do the same. I can see it in other outdoor gear companies, too. They've seen what Patagooch is doing and they're jumping on the bandwagon. Sustainability has never been sexier. Just check out REI's website. They're hardcore pushing these principles, too. Interesting, too, that the outdoor industries are rapidly growing.

I also think it's great that YC and Patagonia are unabashedly involving themselves in politics. It's great to see a company...well, "nut up or shut up" regarding climate change. Glad they're putting money where their mouth is trying to oust climate-change-obstructionist republicans.

If only they still made climbing hardware. I'd buy it just to see my money go towards good causes, like getting republicans out of office.

In the early 90's I gave something like $20 to the Sierra Club or a similar group. After a deluge in physical mail asking for donations from around the political spectrum, I never did it again.

> There is a time and a place for "constructive discussion" of certain topics and that place is apparently not Google

I'd agree with you if he wasn't discussing it in direct reference to how Google approached things like hiring from a strategic perspective. However what he discussed was in the context of how google approaches something.

Secondly from what I've heard Google provided a space for precisely these kinds of discussions, so suggesting he should have known better than to discuss seems pretty unfair to me.

Even if what he said was wrong, wrong, wrong, it really seems to me like he was trying to engage in good faith and people didn't respond to it in good faith at all
it's a joke. I'm an animal who would drop if I ran 9 miles.
Valid point. The counter-points I most often come across are:

- Estate taxes: the government wants its pound o' flesh

- Squandering: the wealth is generally gone by the 2nd or 3rd generation. I remember this from The Millionaire Next Door (W. Danko), which is from the 90's, but I haven't come across anything to date stating that the trend has been reversed.
I don't post on m.d.s.policy or any other standards or community organizations, both because I think all of these sewing-circle groups are a net-negative for security (we'd be better off just letting Ryan Sleevi call the shots), and because not a single one of them them would be better off if I was there mouthing off. I feel like more people --- I can name specific people --- should consider following my lead on this and getting the fuck out of the way on task-oriented forums. There's plenty of other places --- like HN --- to say what I think, and synthesize what I've learned from other people.

Don't mistake any of that for me not keeping up with these groups. Your arguments still have to make sense to succeed; you do not in fact have an "I post on m.d.s.policy" card to play here.

No. I’m saying just the opposite.

You see patterns like this from “architects” who want to avoid “lockin”:

- A DBFactory that creates an instance of an OracleRepository that they access through an IGenericRepository interface just in case later on they decide to use a different database and then they don’t take advantage of any Oracle specific features for fear of “lock in”.

- A StorageManagerFactory that you call to create a S3StorageManager that implements an IStorageManager just in case later they decide to move from S3 they can “migrate easily”

You’ll find people who will spin up a bunch of EC2 instances and host their own logging, queueing, messaging servers to avoid using AWS specific services. Now they are spending more for hosting than just going to a colo and spending just as many man hours babysitting infrastructure.

I’m saying that once you choose your foundational infrastructure pieces, no matter what they are, it usually makes sense to go all in instead of creating layers of abstraction.

The workplace has always been an extension of society. Humans are not robots and what's happening in society will impact how they work somewhere.

If that's not the case with you I apologize. But what happens with politics 100 percent impacts me at work and I should be able to talk about it.
That's because that talent isn't allowed to own anything. Imagine you know what to do and how to do it. You go to YC, present your idea and ask for some funding. And imagine they'd tell you that "Yea, we can pay you this fixed salary and see if your idea works. No, we get 100% rights. No, we won't share profits, but we'll up your salary if things go well. No, we can't tell you by how much." Who in their right mind agree on these terms? That's why employees don't share any really interesting ideas: they go to YC, get money and retain 93%. Google has the right people, but it's not really interested in any changes because ads work really well. Afaik, they even cancelled the 20% time.
The world is. There is no engineering reason why it’s so expensive to move numbers around in a bank.

In comparison the search engine market is 170 billion. If a google sized company or decentralized network could reduce the 2 trillion global spend on payments to 170b, that would be fantastic regardless of how much it spends on preventing double spends.
It's my operating hypothesis that people's abilities are generally limited mainly by their ways of being. Except for the few with physical and biochemical disabilities. And with general human limitations.

I mean, we're all familiar with "math anxiety". And the argument that women have generally been conditioned to think that they're bad at math. Or bad at spatial reasoning. Or that men are less empathetic, or better with tools, or whatever.

Consider scientific thinking. Based on my admittedly limited experience with young children, I believe that they're all scientists. For children in the "why phase", when I've actually taken time to help them consider how one might answer their questions, I've consistently been impressed.

Also, it's clearly not so much about having answers. Indeed, focusing too much on answers tends to stifle creativity.

I'm not an expert on advertising, but I suspect these concerns are often overblown. There are YouTubers who get demonetized--presumably because their content isn't "advertiser-friendly"--who still manage to get individual sponsorship deals. If these companies were serious about being a "common carrier", they would invest more money into developing an advertising market where advertisers could pick and choose the content they wanted to advertise and less money into demonetization.
Telegram Aims to Delay Ton Launch Deadline Ahead of SEC Meeting
Just because the universe is expanding at c doesn't mean everything inside it is getting bigger at c. Due to the way mass curves spacetime, mass stays more or less the same size (in comparison to the rest of the empty universe, anyway) - it is mostly only the EMPTY parts of space that get stretched out at c. This means that distances between things are getting bigger all the time... BUT things are still able to travel through space, so they get further away even faster.

Imagine two people (which are galaxies) walking in the same direction on a travelator (which is spacetime). Ordinarily one person would reach the end, and then in a predictable amount of time so would the other.
But if the travelator is expanding evenly in both directions, then the distance between the two people will increase, even though they're walking at the same speed.
> Your assertion that hiring more women will lower standards is premised on a belief that men are inherently better. Isn't that embarrassingly obvious to deduce from what you say?

Not at all. Consider:

- You have a pool of 100 men to choose from

- You have a pool of 10 women to choose from.

- You need to hire 20 people.

So, you choose the top 10% of the men and 100% of the women in order to achieve gender parity.

There is no premise that men are inherently better, only that the talent pool is so much larger that you can more easily distill high quality candidates.
From dictionary.com:

1. a vocation requiring knowledge of some department of learning or science: the profession of teaching. Compare learned profession.

2. any vocation or business.

3. the body of persons engaged in an occupation or calling: to be respected by the medical profession.

It goes on, but the rest have to do with "profession" in the sense of declarations.

So, you can make your claim all you want that you have the correct definition of "profession", but you seem to be mistaken...
