Please recall that earlier in the thread, the following was posted:

"[Signal is] really an engine for revealing people's true preferences for messaging, which, for many people, tend to be that they want all the ergonomics of Slack a lot more than they want cryptographically sound secure messaging."

This comparison to Slack makes no sense - Signal replaces texts and makes them end-to-end encrypted. It's a straight upgrade to texting (except, apparently, on iphone, where apple won't let the app send plain old texts and the "drop-in replacement" quality is neutered). It requires a phone number to use, and is linked to that phone number.

Signal is right to be what it is, and if Apple got out of the way, I would insist on replacing all texts with Signal. Replacing my Slacks with Signal or my Signal messages with Slack fails to type-check.
I figured it was some kind of money laundering scheme.
Could those people be referring to Chromebooks and other ChromeOS netbooks? They apparently run any android app, although they aren't really running android as the OS.

Yes; restaurants, especially nice restaurants, are in the business of selling food which people eat primarily for pleasure, not for nutrition. It's an indulgence, not sustenance.

Even those restaurants who want to appeal to a 'healthy eating' audience find that their less healthy items sell better; considering the difficulty of succeeding or even surviving in the restaurant business, they start to emphasize those items and eventually become a source of relatively unhealthy meals. It's the same phenomenon that caused all of the niche cable networks to fill their schedules with general-interest reality shows unrelated to their original programming over the last couple of decades.

tl;dr: Restaurants sell unhealthy food because people want to buy unhealthy food.
Miserable winter weather.
Amazon has been repeatedly showing me office chair casters as a suggestion after I bought a set on Amazon.

Despite having much better information on things I actually spend money on than the average ad network (all my devices have adblockers), Amazon isn't clever enough to figure out that I'm probably done with that product category for years.
Eh. I lean towards the former; in an interview I ask tech/process related questions and don't care about product (unless the interviewer mentions something that piques my interest). But when I start the job I give above-average energy to product-engineering. I'm looking for a tech fit, and I can apply my product-engineering energy anywhere.

I think they mean out of ethernet-cables-that-are-usable-to-get-network-access. So there's loose cables aplenty, but a shortage of cables that work in the sense of the far end being plugged in, due to a shortage of ports.

From the perspective of a student walking into the room with their laptop, that's a shortage of cable-ends that they can plug into their laptop to gain network access.

But it isn’t recommended for production because the automatic diff-based approach can lead to unpleasant surprises. With individual migration files, you always know exactly what they are going to do and can think and plan for how a rollback might be necessary if needed.

It’s fair to say that you don’t necessarily need to keep 100 individual files around once they’ve been deployed to every environment for a while and there’s no chance you’d rollback. But I think people typically do this approach because it is simpler and easier than attempting to export the database structure at #100 or whatever and setting a new baseline every few months.

Top Ten Retro Party Games
- People are working longer hours.

- People are getting married/having kids later in life.

- Both spouses are working in more and more households.

- More families are living in urban areas with smaller houses/apartments and less kitchen space.

It seems that most industries are unwilling to confront the fact that American society is fundamentally changing, and their decades-old business models will have to change as well. A perfect example of this is every product ad still depicting the middle class family as a working dad, stay-at-home mom, 2 kids+dog and a massive house in the suburbs.

> At work we also cache all 3rd party dependencies locally [...]

Can you say a bit about your platform and tooling? Are you working in a single language or a polyglot world? Is the cacheing at the network level or are your build tools aware of your mirrors?

I work in a space (biotech/pharma/...) that shares these concerns. I've solved the Perl specific version with Pinto (https://metacpan.org/pod/Pinto) and the more generic version with Spack (https://spack.io) [which is neat also because it supports installing multiple versions of applications, doesn't require root, <other things>].
What I really want from Signal is the ability to use it as an application transport. In particular, I want to authorise certain people to request my phone's location.

> The try-block would be way more useful if it could just define scope without being tied specifically to error handling. There are lots of circumstances where defining scope would be handy outside of conditionals and creating functions for a similar purpose.

This is the case today! With `let` and `const`, any {} block creates a scope. So:

let foo = 'outside';
{
let foo = 'inside';
console.log(foo); // logs 'inside'
}
console.log(foo); // logs 'outside'
Norway is a glaring example, their winter Olympians consumed huge amount of anti-asthma medication.

"Eyebrows were also raised when the Norwegian TV channel NRK published the list of asthma drugs its country’s doctors were taking to this Winter Olympics, which amounted to 10 times more than Finland’s."
> For instance, a publisher can track what people do on their own site—just not on other sites. So they can sell targeted ads based on the information they have.

This is what I believe is fair. Unfortunately we are seeing the difference between first-party cookies and third-party cookies gradually vanish. Publishers are already encouraged by ad tech companies to set up CNAME records so that a subdomain on a publisher site points to an ad-tech company domain.
This is a truly incredible article.

There are third-party apps for reddit that are pretty good, including Slide which is GPL and available on F-Droid.
>That said, being 50% motivated by making their users happy is more than can be said about Google or Facebook.

They all have products to sell to users so in that sense they all have to strive to make those users happy. Some business strategies use lock in to keep consumers but unless you want to wage that accusation against one of these three companies it seems like they should all be equally motivated by consumer happiness.

In the case of Slack though these are "private" communications only in the same way that say, email to colleagues at work is "private". Lots of people certainly could snoop this, and more probably would be able to if they really wanted to. You would not be told about that, it'd just happen and everybody involved would convince themselves that it's fine. Is it fine though?

Signal's rationale is that if we actually secure this type of conversation, we can tell people not to accept insecure conversations because they're trading something you might want (actual privacy) for... not very much.

We've been here before on the Internet, at least twice now. When I was still (barely) a teenager Tatu Ylönen invented SSH and connecting to another machine was now secure instead of hopelessly insecure. And at almost the same time a bunch of people at Netscape invented SSL (which became TLS) and made the World Wide Web secure. It only took a few years for ordinary (relatively) people to _expect_ SSH not telnet and it took a bit longer for HTTPS but in both cases we got to a place where secure was the default and expected condition.
It's extremely difficult to correlate this to long-term happiness or well-being. If parents can accelerate their time to retirement they get to spend more time with children as teenagers or young adults. Is that better or worse? More or less memorable? I don't remember much before I was 5-ish. Do we really know that having stay-at-home parents during that time alters a lot? Does having the extra money for "better" college outweigh time in "formative" years? How about having more wealth to transfer to children when you're gone? What if the stay-at-home parent is desperately unhappy with staying at home? Is it better to have a happy, harmonious environment?

It's complicated, and just saying it's better to have a stay-at-home parent versus "minimum wage daycare workers" (who in my experience are actually often highly qualified), is an incomplete perspective (IMO).
Also why can't men take care of the children and women work?

If childcare is so expensive, maybe in two-parent households, one parent's job should be to raise the children while the other works.
The US Dept of Labor had a paid family leave report out a few years ago that convincingly argued that paid family leave—which is typically measured only in weeks—had a measurable improvement on women’s retirement savings, because it meant they were more likely to stay in the workforce and save more for retirement.

Maybe this can be abstracted into being focused or being a generalist. I think OP is arguing that there is value in being a generalist and you are resisting that. I sympathize with OP, I've seen a lot of managers appreciate generalists and I've gotten a lot of value out of them myself. Maybe not everyone needs or wants to be one, but it's fair enough to outline it as a way of operating that provides a lot of value.

Same reason why the USSR collapsed, BTW. Oil prices collapsed by mid 80s, and the USSR couldn't survive for very long without those export revenues. Gorbachev took over just as oil prices have hit the bottom. And if you look at the same graphs, you will see that Putin's economic recovery was largely sustained by the upward trend in hydrocarbon prices. To this day Russia has not even begun to diversify its economy.
Point is dang, his boss, most of the people here viscerally hate the idea of collective action. Yet climate change is something that can only be tackled by good faith collective action.

Both my kids have been in nanny shares. That’s a bit higher end than minimum wage daycare, but, trust me, they’ve been better taken care of and more loved than if I’d had to take care of them. Comparative advantage works another way with daycare: you can benefit from hiring a professional.

There are is no upside in DC to being antiwar. There is plenty of upside to being pro war. Financially, academically and the DC/Davos limelight including editorial pieces, anchor jobs at historically pro war newspapers, publications and media outlets.

One antiwar think tank will hardly make a dent in DC.

America has not been at war for only 17 years since its founding as a Republic. So the status quo is unlikely to being changed.

Most betting people would not have wagered that Obama would bomb 7 more new countries after the W Bush legacy.

The Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden has supported every possible war out there. All the other Democrats are warmongerers with the exception of Tulsi Gabbard and Bernie Sanders. And that is why the DNC will target them if necessary if they start to poll better.

Both political parties are pro war. The occasional candidate that is antiwar or not pro war is attacked by the media outlets as irresponsible or a fringe extremist.

Responsible in DC means being “engaged” (code for wars and bombing) with the world.

So billionaires can waste their money on yachts and private jets. This endeavour is also a “waste” but little enjoyable utility to them.

De-aging De Niro – befores and afters
I agree that the article plays a little loose with terminology; however, I wouldn't go as far to say that it's a circular argument.

To snitch an example from mathematics, consider formal logic and set theory. These are oft considered the epitome of rigor, enough so that they form "the foundation of modern mathematics." However, when first begining to study these fields, one encounters a sort of philosophical conundrum, "How do you even state the rules if you start from literally nothing?" You can write them on a piece of paper, but without some system of processing, all those rules end up as just ink on paper. The standard terminology for just such a system is "metalogic."

Anyway, at first blush it seems like any such metalogic is inaccesible to mathematical inquiry, but we can use a trick to "lift" the metalogic and logic one layer up. For example, we can (using some metalogic) start with standard Zermelo-Frenkel set theory (ZF), and then ask ourselves, "Is this ZF powerful enough to iplement a version of ZF within itself?" In other words, if ZF is too weak to implement ZF, then clearly out metalogic must be something stronger and more complicated.

Fortunately, it turns out that ZF can implement itself just fine, and in fact, there are much simpler (read weaker) logics also capable of implementing ZF. Said another way, the bare mininum needed to write a program capable of verifying ZF proofs is quite bare and minimal, indeed. Counter-intuitively, perhaps, this line of inquiry has ended up discovering pretty nifty proofs of previously intractible problems. It also has practical implications for proof verifiers and the like (see Metamath[0]).

So, by analogy, I read this article as saying something similar about the metaphysics of our physics. I.e. it turns out that there are some really simple rules capable of generating the complex physics that is the Standard Model. How much can we whittle down the metaphysics? What does that say about our universe?

As a programmer, I always use an ordered map (Java TreeMap) in preference to hash tables. My reasons:

- It is much easier to write a transparently correct comparison method for a new object that I want to use as a key. With hash tables you need to worry that your hash function might not be properly distributed.

- With hash tables you have to worry that your language's under-the-hood resize/reallocate algorithm works well, or you need to make sure you choose the capacity and load factor numbers correctly. Even if things work as expected, you might end up paying a penalty because, for example, the array backing the hashtable was auto-resized to 128 million elements when you only need 70 million.

- Java TreeMap has lots of cool utility methods like pollFirstEntry (pull off the first K/V pair), higherMap (view of map that only includes pairs with higher key), etc.

- TreeMap key traversal is deterministic!! The worst bug I encountered in years of programming work was caused by non-determinism in HashMap traversal (you could blame Java's implementation here, I suppose).

- The O(1) vs O(log N) performance difference is minor to the point of being undetectable in every case I've ever encountered.

- When you do something with the data in the map, you often want to sort by key anyway: might as well have the sort taken care of by the data structure.

as a kid my parents would be home after five and fix up our dinner. today people seem to be working longer and less predictable hours. stagnant wages can't help much either. my partner and i would love to have time each day to cook and eat together, we just don't have any time. so along with your point i wonder if people really hate cooking or just can't afford to?
It is one thing to say that something is plausible, and something quite a bit more to be able to show that not only is it plausible, but also that it is the way things actually are, and in a very specific way.
Subsidized childcare is good, but even though it has liberatory potential this is still coercive to women because now they have a financial incentive to work for somebody other than themselves. This means that this reform is beneficial to the buisness community and many women, but not all women as some would prefer to do the work themselves.

We should subsidize childcare in efficient group settings, but we should also pay women that decide to stay home and do that work from public funds at decent salaries.

Only then, when women are free to choose their own destiny free of financial pressure can we say we've made the kind of difference in the world we want to see.

EDIT: In fact, there are probably many different childcare arrangements that women would pick: alone, in groups with friends or relatives, or in the employed laborforce. All of these should be realistically on the table.

EDIT2: While practically speaking in our current society, women would be the most affected, this should apply to any primary caregiver regardless of gender identity.

I guess there isn’t an absolute default culturally, but it’s not that hard to get started making basic food. I think most people are just lazy / get anxiety about things they don’t know how to start.

When I first started cooking I mostly just baked or pan fried meat, microwaves or sautéed vegetables, and made slow cooker chili / other soups. Maybe that doesn’t fit most people’s definition of cooking but IMO there is nothing wrong with a dinner of (seasoned) baked chicken thighs with some microwaved frozen broccoli. It takes like 5 minutes of actual work too.

For a while I was really good about taking 40-50% of restaurant meals home as leftovers. Then something changed and now I haven't done that in a while and have since gained 10lbs.
