Framing the question in a proper way is interesting. By the way, I think there's another common pattern, especially in the corporate/enterprise world: the proposed solution is ACTUALLY better and simpler than the super-complex-version that somebody is proposing; but:

- At a certain point, the original problem was forgotten. Maybe the original problem was "execute some commands on N machines". But initially, those machines were a mix of operating systems, some of which would not offer an ssh daemon. And another path was pursued. But, after a certain time, all non-ssh-offering OSes were pulled, but the pursue of a different path remained.

- Technology evolved in the months-or-years while pursuing a certain solution, and the original pursuer either didn't know that, or he would not be ready to abandon his efforts (sunk cost fallacy)

- Sometimes, just looking from outside is a good way to find a good solution.

- Sometimes, just trying to solve a problem for months or years lets the solver to properly frame the problem, and enunciating a problem in a good, concise, comprehensive way goes miles towards finding a solution.

So: sometimes people who ask things that way actually think that the solution is stupid. But they shouldn't think the people trying to solving it are stupid.
All through human history up until the last couple of decades, housing has followed the jobs. When they built the great pyramids they build an entire city for the workers. You build an office building in manhattan in 1860, and what do you know an apartment building of similar size is going up in the next lot. You build a factory then you build the town; that's how it's always been done.

What we are seeing is cities eager for job growth and commercial business to call their city home, but the other half of the equation is given no thought. Upzoning residential areas to match commercial growth is not being done. Even when tech companies promise to build some housing with their new office space, it's never 1:1, so it too is a net strain.

When looking at the problem in those simple terms, it really seems like insidious profiteering on the local government's part, considering LA councilmen all own at least 1 property and therefore all stand to benefit from housing price surges.

Wikipedia[1] says:

Lead(II) acetate (Pb(CH3COO)2), also known as lead acetate, lead diacetate, plumbous acetate, sugar of lead, lead sugar, salt of Saturn, or Goulard's powder, is a white crystalline chemical compound with a sweet taste.

So clearly (?) it would add a sweet taste, regardless of how much of the acid was chemically consumed.

I think that may be part of the story, and I suspect heavily that overall we are using far more materials than in my parents or grandparents day. I still have a pair of Craghoppers I bought in the 1980s, and a good ten years of life was to be expected. When I eventually stopped buying two-three years was nearer the mark. Having aged 40 years, I suspect if anything they get lighter use today than way back when. :)

Same for furniture - the cardboard+wood miracle of engineering may work for a while, but have kids or move home once and it'll be beyond its limits. The bookcase my great-grandfather made as part of his cabinet maker apprenticeship is doing fine... One joint is a little sloppy and probably needs a little maintenance, but it's moved house (and family) dozens of times...

One thing I am sure of though - for brand profit, trousers that are worn out under five years are far better than those that might last fifteen. Especially if you can trade off retained customer belief in a maker of good quality - which few of them are any more.

There is likely some degree of humor in your message but I'm not sure. Why are you interested in lower power consumption? To save money on the electricity bill? Or for environmental reasons?

You mention you bought more expensive CPUs to get lower power consumption... Which points to the environmental reason. But you call others to buy AMD to get cheaper Intels, which would in turn rise the global power consumption.

I guess that last sentence is to be read as a joke but as a result I'm really confused by your comment :(
If anything the problem, going by the story, has to do with Amazon's hiring practices. Anyone with a brain could guess that a 54 year old female new hire is at greater liability of injury when performing this sort of work. But I imagine she wouldn't have applied if she didn't need the money so is it better to 'protect' every worker because some chose to take a risk?

I feel that a more sensible approach such as ours would have been better served - as coop members tend to be stroppy bastards and would have stood up for the common good - a lot of our ISP side in Manchester where members of alt 2600 .

Amazon Rolls Out Quantum-Computing Service

My take from personal experience:

Removing the "just" obviously makes it less condescending:

=> Why didn't you use sshd?

Removing the "you" could make it less personal:

=> Why was sshd not used here?

Removing the past-tense makes it more forward looking (the past can't be changed, but people often defend their past decisions especially because they are unchangeable, the future however is less threatening):

=> Could sshd be used here?

And to further open it up to criticism and add humility (which is important, since sometimes the obvious standard solution doesn't scale/work/apply to the use case):

=> Would there be any tradeoffs using sshd here?

This IMHO is the least-threatening and not too elaborate way to formulate this sentence.

But one thing can make this even less threatening. Don't write in on the code review for everybody to see, tell it to the person 1:1 in private and give them a chance to look good to their peers. The old adage "Praise in public, criticize in private" is still one of the most important things IMHO when relaying criticism.

> Either understand why the first thing that popped into your head doesn't work without having them tell you why that's the case

I actually like that phrasing.
Some thing simple and open-ended, like

"Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is sshd."

And let them talk.

It's generally a true statement, in that it is the first thing that comes to mind, with all the naivete that this implies. And IMHO doesn't unduly pressure the person who has worked with the problem longer.

OK - a lot of answers here are about "doctors using online resources to fill up their knowledge gaps is totally normal" - which is a fine point. But the article is about a particular online resource not known for an a priori high standard. The more interesting question is "How can doctors tell which videos are valid and which contain bogus information?" - and it is actually a quote literally taken from the article. The situation is not very good:

"""
For instance, one recent study found more than 68,000 videos associated with a common procedure known as a distal radius fracture immobilization. The researchers evaluated the content for their technical skill demonstrated and educational skill, and created a score. Only 16 of the videos even met basic criteria, including whether they were performed by a health-care professional or institution. Among those, the scores were mixed. In several cases, the credentials of the person performing the procedure could not be identified at all.

Even more concerning, studies are finding that the YouTube algorithm is highly ranking videos where the technique isn’t optimal. A group of researchers found that for a surgical technique called a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, about half the videos showed unsafe maneuvers.
"""

Online epistemology is more and more important and while our culture is trying to catch up it is still behind. There is lots and lots of important phenomena (for example https://www.gwern.net/Littlewood).

By the way patients are also using online resources and encounter similar problems: https://medium.com/@zby/rational-patient-community-6d3617dff...
That doesn't really make sense to me. I'm willing and able to pay for an ad-free experience. I will never ever click on an ad. Ever. I adblock like crazy. I don't see how I'm at all valuable to advertisers. And I suspect I'm nowhere near alone when it comes to people who would pay for no ads.

A quick search claims FB's annualized average ad revenue per user for 2018 was just under $25[0]. If I got value out of FB (I used to be a regular user, but now I just have the account for event invitations and otherwise never check it), I would absolutely pay $25/year to be able to use it without ads.

I suspect FB is near the top end for how much ad revenue they're able to extract from people; I imagine most sites are sub-$1 (certainly sub-$5), and could price subscriptions accordingly.

My thinking problem is:

If you raise beef, you need to feed.

If you want eggs you need to feed chicken.

But...

If you raise bees, you feed a tiny bit of sugar, and you get buckets of honey.

This is called fixed-point arithmetic:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

> In computing, a fixed-point number representation is a real data type for a number that has a fixed number of digits after (and sometimes also before) the radix point.

> A value of a fixed-point data type is essentially an integer that is scaled by an implicit specific factor determined by the type.
great point! Would that be generic wellbeing/diagnostic?!

Can you explain what is wrong with engineers working on problems like these?

As I see this, it allows businesses to connect with more people, therefore being more profitable, therefore making economy grow in general.

I just don't understand this hate towards developers who work for companies like FB and Google and whose job is focusing on increasing ad engagement. In my opinion, they definitely provide a hugely positive effect on economy (unless you think capitalism / consumerism is evil / wrong or whatever, which is another topic).
From the title, I thought this was going to be about e-commerce, Christmas shopping, and rampant consumerism. As in humans are, to some people (possibly including themselves) just a walking shopping cart.
Agreed.

I don't want to be a reductionist, but it seems like a lot of this comes down to policy makers (and really, just people in general) not having the courage or integrity to follow through on their beliefs. Keynsians say, "we need austerity, but TODAY is not the time for it" and then when the future arrives, don't have the courage to follow through on curtailing spending. Non-Keynsians say, "we need austerity NOW" and then lack the courage to effectuate real austerity (instead choosing milquetoast measures like taxcuts combined with trivial reductions in spending).

There seems to be this notion that society just doesn't have to pay-up now. Rather, we only pay-up at some point in the future (a point in the future that we define). That may be, but there has to be a trade-off, right? It seems weird to think that reality doesn't force a trade-off on us. It probably does, and it might come in the form of added complexity which reduces our ability to successfully engineer our way to a controlled exit of our collective responsibilites.
