I would imagine a safety net and subsidized healthcare actually diminishes the traditional biological functions of males in human populations. With a safety net e.g., the males don't need to necessarily be the breadwinners/hunters to the same degree and so their traditional function is less required.

But yeah the dispoable male is a dubious theory.

> Facebook in comparison never had strangers piling on me telling me I am worthless and invalid based on my race and gender.

Uhm.. That seems to be just as prevalent on FB (or anywhere online) as far as I can tell.

As for Twitter vs. Facebook: I feel that Twitter is far less cluttered for me and "follow" (and unfollow) is a much better way to select my content then be"friend" (and then unfriend). On Twitter I just pick interesting accounts to read and now my feed is full of stuff that is largely interesting. On Facebook it's .. complicated (and I reduced my friend list to 2, because it wasn't worth the effort).

Instagram? That's just shallow/vain in every way and doesn't even compete IMHO - it's an entirely different beast (that I don't understand).

The connection they are trying to make seems tenuous.

Fires seem to be exacerbated by decades of poor utility maintenance combined with an abundance of dry and dead brush, warmer temperatures, and high winds.

None of those factors are caused by barriers to housing construction.
Paving our best farmland is not sustainable, nor is deluding yourself that we can capture carbon at anywhere near the rate needed to prevent severe change in our weather patterns.

US suburbs are heavily subsidized with federal dollars[1], this is a huge reason why PGE can't effectively maintain the infrastructure in California. The ratepayers & tax base cannot afford to repipe a suburban neighborhood when the water service lines hit end of design life, let alone repaving, maintaining gas, electrical service, telecom & cable[2]. This is also why Fiber buildouts are so uncommon in suburbs (for-profit companies won't make their money back within a decade).

We have designed an extremely expensive mousetrap of suburbia where you get degrading public services (as maintenance & replacement bills accrue and go unmet), nearly mandatory car ownership, and higher rates of health problems caused by the poor design of these neighborhoods[3].

I never said not to. But complaining on the platform itself is not petitioning your representatives to regulate Twitter. Its wasting time and throwing words into a bottomless hole.

And given the studies showing how little the will of the people influences the conduct of congress in the US I'd strongly consider petitioning the government barely a step beyond an equal waste of time.

Which isn't just rolling over and taking it - but actually fixing it goes way beyond a moment of outrage enshrined in text on the Internet.
A large portion of society is at constant risk of death if they have a serious illness. The range of things people can recover from in 2019 is astounding.

There are always going to be good uses for resources poured into healthcare. It is, without exaggeration, a bottomless pit of ways to spend money. The US does a terrible job of managing healthcare but that is not a fundamental problem; it is horrible but superficial. They could probably get double the quality for the money spent, or halve spending for the same outcome or something. However, there will always be something else needed in healthcare. The goalpost will shift as it has many times before.

This exact topic is covered in Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations, and the answer is that the concept of forest is not defined by such a condition. It is a basket of examples of forests and identifying a new example in the basket is done by means of analogy to the existing examples.

It is therefore possible for a concept to grow to include contradictory examples, at which point people will typically split the basket into two distinct concepts, like a forest vs a grove. The point at which that happens is somewhat arbitrary, but it also doesn't exist a priori. Someone has to try to use the word ambiguously. Words don't have meanings until they are used by people to mean.

It is even possible for a distinction to not be made, and for someone to experience cognitive dissonance when two contradictory examples remain in the same basket.
Thanks for comments! I will attempt to fix the flaws. Fixing the english will be harder though, for the time being my english is flawed (period). :)

It's not the suppression of speech. It's the regulation of speech amplification, especially paid amplification.

The concept of fraud and libel are related too. It is fraudulent to claim you are someone that you are not.
I've only played with Access once in Uni so it's a bit hard to compare for me, but it sounds pretty similar.

I use it as my own version of Shadow IT for my wife's business when im just too time constrained to make her proper web apps to do stuff, and she's too reluctant to spend any money on things, I just whip up a solution in Airtable. She has a CRM I made her for managing her students and their balances. Works well and was super fast to put together.

It's pretty crazy capable as Airtable has various kinds of built in functions for math and string manipulation, plus it can do various kinds of relations, joins, aggregates and rollups. Heck the resulting table even exposes an API!

The only thing I can't really seem to do is business rule validation stuff that a typical CRUD app would contain.

I never said there was broad consensus among all philosophers and physicists, etc. It takes generations for these ideas to truly die, just as it did with other widely believed falsehoods. No one really attacked consciousness from a mechanistic perspective until Turing, and that work wasn't followed up on outside of the AI community until the 70's and 80's, and it wouldn't be until very recent advances in AI that others took these philosophical ideas originating from computer science seriously.

So in the philosophy of physics and the mind, there are whole departments filled with tenured professors who came of age in their thinking at a time when consciousness was a Hard Problem, and have focused their mental tools on a class of solutions (qualia, observer-triggered wave collapse, etc.) which are irreconcilable with mechanistic physical reality, making the problem even more intractable and mysterious. It'll take another generation or two before the ideas of Dennett, Dawkins, Tegmark, etc. get more widely recognized and consciousness finally goes the way of phlogiston.

For references, I recommend Dennett's "Consciousness Explained", and really anything by Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins--materialistic explanations of consciousness pervade their work. For a compatible (hah!) physical perspective, I suggest Max Tegmark:

Hey David - love what you’re doing with Retool. I think it’s a good solution for the front end piece of this challenge. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Retool focus on working with existing enterprise databases and APIs? If so then I think the missing piece is a DBaaS with great guardrails.

Access (and to a lesser extent, Excel) empower anyone to model their data and manipulate it without asking permission. The problem is they don’t scale well, there are no backups, they don’t show up in a data catalog anywhere, no integration with enterprise SSO, etc. They do benefit from file-focused solutions for these issues (eg the Access file lives on a network drive which is backed up) but they fall far short from what you expect from a production database.

So my challenge is: how can I let anyone in my organization create a new database, with all the backup/authentication/discovery/scalability out of the box, for them to connect to Retool?
Reframe the problem, look at it from the perspective of value. In most cases people do not want the smartest solution, they just want something that matches their world view.

I think the issues that you mention were overly conflated.

People do not need to get "involved" into legislating beyond voting for someone representing them - and choosing the person they believe will do so.

People do most certainly are clear what their obligations end up being when they submit their tax return.

The question is only whether the process should be easier or is it better if it is tedious and ineffective. The question of whether Intuit also profits along the way is almost marginal here.

I get it that you (and many here) don't like ads, what do you mean by "that ship sailed long ago"? That Google should just close up shop and go home?

Advertising exists. You can't make it go away. You can make it less bothersome to most people.

And I'm having trouble understanding how you say their conclusion (which simply said it "may" decrease the incentive) is so bizarre. Are you assuming that everyone out there views ads the way you do?

Not terrifying at all.. for the most part Fortran-used-like-C looks pretty much like... C. Declare a header signature the right way, call any Fortran function from C, declare any C function with an underscore at the end and constrained to some rules and call it from Fortran. Like other comments point out, there’s nothing “ancient” about the language. You don’t need to hunt for dusty floppies and emulators to boot old OS images from tapes. GCC 9.2 compiles it all.

“Stick to sports” doesn’t mean “report only about sports.” It means, “do not follow that story any further because it makes me uncomfortable.” This could be for various reasons but ultimately means sticking to one side of an issue, omitting details that would anger the Powers That Be, or even fabricating details to put a positive spin on an otherwise damning report.

“Stick to sports” means, “screw journalistic integrity”
The idea is that theoretically a perfectly portable C program could be written and work on problems of any size given sufficiently large hardware and a compiler implementation that takes advantage of that hardware.

Unlike a Fortran77 program, a portable C program doesn't have to change to support orders of magnitude changes in problem size.

NPM Security Insights API Preview Part 2: Malware
This was the entirety of my university life. I was constantly dumbfounded by how my peers could seemingly instantly grasp any number of complicated theories whereas I was always left feeling behind, struggling, and stupid because it would take me 10x longer than them to understand the same principles.

There's a quote by record producer Jimmy Iovine that has always stuck with me since I heard it: "I always felt that I had to work harder than the next guy, just to do as well as the next guy. And to do better than the next guy, I had to just kill."

Unfortunately, there wasn't a cure to this. If they put in 3 hours to learn something I had to put in 30. It took me a while, but I came to realise that there was nothing I could do about this. They either had natural talent, were more intelligent, or some combination of the both. And you know what? That's fine. I still put in all my extra hours, I was still getting passing grades, and I still graduated. Sometimes, the only way for people like me (and by the sounds of it, you) to compete is to just put in more time. But sometimes, that's not enough either. When it comes to that, you have to just realise that comparing yourself to your peers is wasted energy. Are you better than you were yesterday? Yes? Good. That's all that really matters.
