I enjoy Aaronson's blog/interviews, but he is not an "underrated scientist", he is perhaps an underrated science communicator. Being a science communicator, however, is somewhat unrelated to being a scientist. Looking at his actual scientific work, he is in fact doing good work, but he is not in the same league as, let's say, Peter Shor.
I fear the answer is yes.

I have absolutely failed to convince anybody that they don't need an SUV. Doesn't matter. They want an SUV. Not a hatchback of same practicality but better turning/braking; not a Minivan of comparable bulk and price but hugely increased practicality (for a large-family north-american suburb lifestyle; everything is relative:) - a large heavy SUV with tiny brakes is what they want.

(And when I say "They", that includes my wife and now we have one too :-< )

I have tried to convince with equation of "chance of being in accident multiplied by chance of dying in an accident", with the idea that you can work on either of the variables to decrease the total; and indicated that maaaybe in SUV you are safer if you crash, but with a smaller more nimble better visibility car you are less likely to crash. This makes no progress - most people's attitude is "When I crash", not "If I crash".
So you maybe want to nationalize app stores? Getting european app store, managed by EU. Then US store managed by US government...

But government sucks with managing money :/

The difference here is that the oncologist doesn't just observe.

The oncologist deals with the consequences of the observation: communicate with the patient, gives advices on treatments, makes a therapy plan, deals with families, answer to their questions, takes the hit when the relatives think that the solution is not good enough or an Indian shaman could cure everything with snake's poison.

The hardware could support a physical interlock, like Chromebooks and developer mode, that causes the machine to be unable to make attestations that it's running in its default trusted mode. It's not as if trusted execution systems are required by some law of physics to also exclude owner control complete. Just make the mode switch between owner-control and manufacturer-control one that assures that untrusted state can't be maintained when the mode switches back to manufacturer-controlled.

re: the business model - Put a price on flipping that mode switch. That solves the business model problem too.

> I really did have hopes for the Democrats, but they just can't quit on Biden

Biden’s polling in the 20s, occasionally breaking into the 30s, and he's running low on money. Sanders and Warren have much bigger warchests, and there's a lot of votes to be picked up as minor candidates fall off, which it'll be hard to compete for without funds. He's in a weaker position than the early frontrunners that ended up not winning in basically every Democratic primary in a generation without an incumbent President or Vice President in the race. (EDIT: Yes, 2016 was an exception to this, but Biden has nothing like the DNC backing Clinton had, nothing like the office-holder backing Clinton had, and nothing like the DNC rules that magnified the effect of both of those advantages.)

It's likely that we would see an increase in quality and variety of content across the web if it was more rewarding.

I have removed ads from most of my websites. I have a Patreon account and I take tips.

It's a problem space I've studied and thought about for years. Ads pay very little and can introduce a conflict of interest.

For example, trying to write about alternative health tends to attract ads for products like colloidal silver. I am not for the use of colloidal silver, but my audience may not realize that. They may see the ad on my site and infer that I am advocating for its use.

Alternately, making money off a product I do advocate for can be misinterpreted as a conflict of interest. People may be suspicious of a product I actually think is genuinely a good product because its sale makes me money.

The solution to both problems is the same: If my audience supports my work by paying me to create good information, then I don't need to be a shill for some product or other while my audience wonders why I really suggested it.

Ad blockers are here to stay. You don't need to combat them to help foster good, independent content. There are other ways to pay content creators that have additional benefits, such as combating conflict of interest.
My website has one affiliate link to Amazon page and a PayPal Buy It Now button (implemented as a form). Chrome's console message suggests I add 'SameSite=None' and 'Secure'.

The issue is that those in power can seize power from the people without the people knowing as long as there isn't some huge mistake. Once there's a mistake/catastrophe/whatever, those in power come under scrutiny of the public, and changes get made.

So my fear would be that everyone continues on in complacency, and one day we wake up and realize we live in an authoritarian state, where mass catastrophies can occur and no one can do anything about it.

I don't want people to get hurt or die, but I also don't want power to be quietly seized by the few.

>Any software that wastes my time begging me to market for them gets uninstalled, period.

I hear you. I really hate prompts to post to social media myself, but companies do it because it is hard to get people interested in your product.

I'm passionate about this issue because I faced this problem myself many times when trying to generate reviews for my Amazon products. It is hard, if not impossible, to compete without breaking any rules.

The bottom line is, customer acquisition costs are high. In most free apps, it seems you are losing money until / unless you can reach critical adoption rates that make decrease those acquisition costs below your customer LTV. A single social media post could save the publisher $5-10 in customer acquisition costs.

---

So what can be done to fix this?

One idea is making reviews mandatory. There could be an optional prompt that can only be dismissed after a user has left a review. It could be a requirement to leave a review on a previous app before downloading another.

Any strategy to shape how or when users leave reviews will have the potential to be gamed, and I by no means have the answer.

But I think the solution to the review begging / social proof demands needs to be solved at the app store level.

As it stands, established companies have a massive, massive, advantage over indie publishers.

---

I could talk about this all day, so I'll leave it here, but I'm interested to here others thoughts on this:

How do you balance the need for businesses to generate reviews with customer convenience?

What would you change to fix this problem?

Is there an opportunity for a third party fix this?

Because honestly, it's just a single click to say "no" and users are already invested in that particular app.

A lot of corporate communication is people copying other people’s style. Around 18 months ago people at my company started calling people “resources”. Now everybody does it and doesn’t even notice how weird this is. Things like “I have talked to that resource”. Then there was another time when all managers suddenly said “I want to challenge that”. That lasted two years and then it went away. Another one was to ask ”are we aligned?” Lasted maybe a year before it fell out of fashion

I am sure the “impressed” thing will go away too in a while.

It's interesting to watch this video of San Francisco's Market street from 1906:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q5Nur642BU

Cars travel at walking pace, and cars, streetcars, horses, etc all coexist -- pedestrians seem to cross the street at will, not following any signals or staying in crosswalks.

I think the reason this chaotic system works (aside from the lower speeds) is because street users expect the chaos, no one relies on a traffic signal to tell them when it's safe to cross, they know that they have to pay attention or they'll be run over (or will run over someone else).
For reference (because I didn't know the comparison):

Either approach, the way it's written or the exclusion of the citizenship mention, is forcing a viewpoint into the narrative. It is very technically hard to write in an actually neutral manner, but this line was something that an editor should've cut out since it is clearly slanting the expression.

All that said, I think it's quite reasonable to favor the viewpoints of the dis-empowered, as the opposite approach would serve to reinforce any existing tyranny. The government is a large organization that has quite a lot of resources at it's fingertips - a private citizen... not so much.
From a naive perspective, pedestrian avoidance seems like one of the easiest problems to solve.

That's not the only, or even original definition of "too big to fail."

Boeing as a company is so critical to the defense industry that the US government wouldn't let it fail. There are things Boeing does for the defense industry that literally no one else is capable of providing.

Even Chapter 11 restructuring is very unlikely as it would be too disruptive to vital industries, unless it was somehow limited to just the civil aviation part of Boeing.

One of my favorite writings on the matter is Teach, Don't Tell, by Steve Losh: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2013/09/teach-dont-tell/ , including a rather savage takedown of wikis as a documentation mechanism. A bit idealistic, perhaps, especially for open source or single-person projects, but a good north star for doc work IMO.
It was much worse than a lack of training.

Prior to the first crash in Indonesia, MCAS was not mentioned in the formation to the pilots. Boeing has asked the FAA to remove it from the documentation. The FAA did not know that the MCAS was totally different from what Boeing had initially planed, so they agreed.

After the crash, Boeing published new instructions that mentioned MCAS. But they were of no use for the Ethiopian crash. As you wrote, turning off MCAS also turned off stabilisation, and manual control was not possible because of the excessive speed. The pilots did understand that, so they enabled the electric trim again. Unfortunately, this activated the MCAS which send the plane downside 10 seconds later. They had no way out.

As I've said before, the Constitution and our current legislative models were devised in a time of very slow travel and communications, when it made sense to hold periodic elections and have legislators travel to a central location for terms.

There are no technical barriers to putting our entire legislative code online, dispensing with most legislative organs, and allowing people to edit it directly - a Wikiocracy, so to speak.
Are the amendments really meant to be inserted at unspecified points in the main text? I never thought of them like this, and it doesn't always work well here.

Most glaringly, there is the part in https://github.com/JesseKPhillips/USA-Constitution/commit/7f... in the article talking about the President's powers, saying "The President shall have Power to [...] He shall from time to time [...]" and the diff inserts "No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law." between these sentences.

This doesn't work at all, not only because this amendment has nothing to do with the President's powers, but especially because the "He" starting the next sentence has nothing more to refer to.

Of course this would be a lot more boring if the amendments were just tucked on at the end, but I'm afraid reality is just boring here.
I can't even fathom the level of stupidity and rage that went into such a maneuver. Up onto the sidewalk?!

One idea would be to start making people more aware of the penalties for such maneuvers and aggressively prosecuting them. Such a thing would surely qualify as reckless operation, which can be a felony conviction in some jurisdictions even if no one was harmed.

> I really think that the test to get a license should include some kind of screen for impatience, irritability, and aggression.

Isn't that what the process of going to the DMV is? A test of your patience and mental fortitude? I kid, but I really dislike this idea. It seems nearly impossible to objectively measure, and too prone to manipulation. I fear that it would end up being used as some sort of a modern day poll tax.

Boeing is going to be the case study of what happens when you let 'business people' take over an engineering company. A bunch of MBAs deciding to move numbers around on paper and losing sight of the bigger picture.

The 737 MAX and all the issues with the 787 isn't what happens when engineers are in charge, it's what happens at the end of a long line of non-technical people saying "well we can just do ______ right?" Cutting corners and working on influence rather than excellence.

A behavior/personality test for driving licenses? What could possibly go wrong with that? Being impatient doesn’t mean you are more likely to commit a crime. Perhaps increase the penalties for reckless driving. Personality tests get into some dangerous territory. Besides doing a personality test at scale is hard to do with any accuracy. You simply answer the questions in a “correct” way. And gave to face psych evaluations would be impossible to do at the scale of the DMV. Where are you going to find the mental health professionals to staff such an initiative? And normal clerks couldn’t do the evaluation because they wouldn’t have the professional training or licensure to conduct screenings. If they did have those creds, they wouldn’t be working at a DMV.

I honestly can’t answer that, because I’m not in the B2B sector. Some people wouldn’t do anything without a GmbH. They say it’s an absolute necessity. Others see it differently.

I just want to add to this discussion: Think about risks and insurance first and then about limited liability. If you think about it: what actually happens to your company if a scenario happens that triggers the limited liability aspect? It goes bust, if I’m not entirely mistaken. Every asset will be seized, except for your personal assets. But the company is basically gone afterwards. This scenario should be avoided in any case I think. It’s probably not fun.

I can only say that in my case with many independent customers paying a small amount of money, I managed my risk with insurance as far as possible. But maybe an accountant would be the better person to discuss your individual case.

> reveals how your favorite apps can use facial emotion recognition technology to make decisions about your life, promote inequalities, and even destabilize American democracy.

I must have missed the part of this where they show how AI promotes inequalities and destabilizes American democracy. They showed me dogs, pizza and a bunch of pixelated people from the 90s.

What this demonstrated to me was that AI is probably worse than noise. It provided zero insight into who I am or how I feel other than getting it correct when I smiled.

I also think the people that made this are missing a huge piece of the puzzle... For most people the issue isn't that they are being tracked, it's that no one is paying attention to them. People want to be analyzed. They want their existence to be recognized and they want it having an impact on the world. The worst thing that could happen is that no one cares. Even if it's an algorithm scanning their facial features to better sell them pizza, I think most people would desire that.

Case in point: we all just took this test to see what it thought about us.

> Seems like they want this to fail to keep ICE and all the supporting industries alive for more $$

That doesn't make sense. They are not spending tens of billions of euros on a project they want to fail.

In any case, the world's two biggest car markets (Europe and China) are introducing stricter fleet emissions standards. If car companies want to stay in the car business they have to electrify to meet the new standards.

It's a matter of urgency for Volkswagen so they can avoid as many EU emissions fines as possible. Paying fines is just dead money. You're much better off investing that money in new car models, which is what Volkswagen is doing.

Toyota's in a better position to meet the standards because they sell a lot of hybrid vehicles.
