I don't want a balanced view of facts. I don't want to balance, for example, the general view of climate scientists that the Earth is warming and it's caused by CO2 emissions, with the views of people who think climate science is a hoax but who know nothing about climate science. I just want the fact-based view of the climate scientists.
This is wishful thinking at best.
> It would be a huge benefit to society if we could find a (relatively safe from abuse) mechanism to treat people who are "functional" yet too mentally ill to stop their self-destructive behaviors. I'm not sure how that would/could work, but it's a worthwhile goal.

There is a way. When I was lost, dealing with my own problematic issues with drinking, I found another path. Taking a single dose of LSD-25 made me examine the root cause of my drinking, and made me understand just how self-destructive I had been. I've never been religious, but for those 8 hours I felt more connected to everything around me than I had in my entire life. I felt love for the first time. I touched the surface of God, of goodness, of kindness with my soul. And it healed me. Like a bright light, healing me of all of my old emotional wounds. It opened my eyes, so I could see for the first time.
The article shows how to uninstall it. How does that make it unremovable? The uninstall procedure is fully stock, just a slightly different path than most are used to.

In the rest of the world, and in CA before this change, drivers are paid per mile/time and riders pay an upfront price.

The only way this is possible is if Uber does absorb the risk for the rider's convenience. They will not be providing this service from now on because it strengthens their claim that the drivers are contractors.

For what it's worth, I agree that the drivers deserve more protection, and I also consider that it's impossible to envision Uber drivers as employees without totally destroying the whole concept.

The only solution that I can see to this problem is to improve the status of contractor for these people's health care to be covered at large.

Government is pretty bad in this country like in most other countries. I suspect it is because most good solutions are the product of balanced view-points, but politics and legislation is driven by public opinion, which is rarely balanced in its views.

I'd be curious to know what the 11 potential tests are. Your website doesn't seem to list them anywhere.
I wouldn't say it was the only reason but probably one of them. I've also heard that the federal government buildings were placed in a super wide avenue [1] because even huge crowds of millions wouldn't be able to pack the street (and, then, it would feel emptier than it really was).

Also, the very first Brazilian constitution had an article about moving the capital to a more geographically centered place, a plan that was developed while Brazil was an empire [2]. One could argue that the move was simply a matter of fulfilling this constitution article.

Another reason could be that the Rio and São Paulo areas are full of mountain chains and make the task of building a new city quite difficult.

Yet another reason is that building the capital in the São Paulo state or Minas Gerais state would bring back old political rivalries (Brazil was controlled by politicians by these states for decades [3]). Same for the surrounding states. Hence, moving it to a more neutral area.

Anyway, hard to pinpoint one specific reason. The city is interesting, though, with nice people trying to define their own cultural aspects. Unfortunately, most Brazilians have never visited it.

Alcohol sales went up after the 2008 crash. Drug and alcohol use increases when the economy is bad. Now that the economy is good, if this continues, the trend should hopefully decline.

>In 3D CNN photo, I see crowds all the way

Not true. From the CNN perspective, the big gaps on the right are still visible, even though what I said about the vantage point is obviously true. Here's a picture that illustrates why the Reuters photo was in a better position to show gaps than the CNN photo.

It also ignores that total impracticality of relying on public transport in many parts of the US - it's frequently not available at all, frequently delayed even when it is present, and is often absurdly slow (like 15-20 minute drives becoming more than an hour), and can be extremely expensive.

I lease land..I farm about 3 acres. You could..in theory..make $40k/acre gross if you have markets, capital and land. It’s tricky if you don’t own land, not enough start up capital and people to work for minimum wage. I could also buy 100 acres of orchard ..nuts or stone fruit or citrus and outsource management. I am still farming. It’s more stable. It’s still a farm and you get deductions and land appreciates and machinery depreciates etc.

For me, it wasn’t worth selling kale and lettuce(need a cooler) and find people to work. I paid more than minimum wage (15-25/hour), but that’s not a liveable wage and even that was eating into my margins. And food is plentiful and cheaper at super markets. So what’s the point? Consider this: insurance is same if you are one acre or 20 acres. CCOF certification costs the same. Machinery and capital costs are fixed. Even if farmers markets are profitable, you have two people working 8 hours at minimum wage and need set up equipment and fees etc.

Yes, it can be done in the backyard etc if you have enough space and you have to operate as a farm. Mostly to make sure you follow food safety rules(it is important), but it becomes too much when you are selling wholesale(less than at csa and farmers market) but at volume. You need different set of certifications and audits.

All in all, due to economies of scale, I think you’d need at least 20-40 acres for economies of scale to kick in and you want to do it in an environmentally safe way. Better if you own as you build equity and have land security.

But I also feel like it’s only worth it if you can automate labour ..at least partially. That’s why I feel farm automation and robotics should focus on small acreage farms where they need it and not in commercial large corporate owned farms or commodity crop producing farms that are already hyper optimized and scaled to capture every marginal gain.

Again. Where you are matters. Whether you own the property matters. Markets matter. Even if I had 40 acres, I won’t grow for market if I can’t automate. The numbers don’t add up. I am too old to be romantic about farming as rolling in the hay and yodeling to cows. Also, I studied to be an accountant. I am brutal with numbers crunching. It killed all the farm romance before it even sprouted.
For what it's worth, if the image they used is representative of the other variable names they found, then that line of reasoning doesn't make sense - the names are just gibberish characters in Chinese, and some even have random radicals and other characters thrown in.

MIT graduates, faculty and staff have earned quite a few Nobel and Turing prizes; half a dozen graduates have walked on the moon; the lead professor in my Unified class left to become secretary of the Air Force; she was replaced by the former head of NASA. Almost every or every department has contributed in fundamental ways to its respective field.

From Chemistry to Electronics to Mechanical Engineering to Electrical Engineering to Economics to Physics...I think the modern world would be unrecognizable without MIT.

The market theory breaks down with healthcare, which does not operate in a free market or with adequate competition/price visibility. Furthermore the entire concept of "price" falls apart when talking about the fundamentally priceless nature of human life.

The conservative viewpoint is woefully ignorant of the reality of healthcare and the success of socialized medicine almost everywhere it has been implemented, or at least superior quality and lower price to that available to the prototypical American citizen.

I wish the myth that "the markets will provide the optimal solution" will die when talking about healthcare. It hasn't, it can't, and it won't.
Some people don’t want to publicly embrace the label “alcoholic” and all the social stigma it comes with.

If you openly tell people that you “quit drinking” they will likely either assume alcoholism or openly ask you why. They are not likely to assume you just decided you don’t like the taste, so now you’ve got the label.

If instead you tell people you aren’t “drinking tonight”, you will absolutely get pressure to drink, because “drinking is fun”, and you don’t have a “real reason not to drink”. I’ve seen it many times and I’m ashamed to say that I’ve participated before as well, not because it was my intent to actually pressure someone to drink, but because it was “good natured teasing”. If I had a friend who loved steak and he suddenly ordered a salad at the steakhouse, I’d similarly be tempted to tease him about his dinner choice, even though I don’t actually care if he had steak, or wine, or whatever. I’ve since recognized that this behavior is not healthy and tried to weed it out of myself, but it’s very common.

This is by the way, why vegans complain about people teasing them or judging them about their food choices. With very few exceptions, it’s probably not malicious. It’s just people being stupid and not realizing the impact they’re having on others. In some cases, this can be just annoying. In others, this can be truly problematic.

The reality is that most of us can drink pretty regularly and enjoy it and not really experience any adverse effects. About 20% of the population develops serious problems related to alcohol consumption, but that leaves 80% of us.

You're absolutely right about not overthinking. Any architecture doc is better than none. Even if the thinking it describes is incoherent or if it describes coherent thinking sloppily. And even during editing, there's only one thing I want my principal engineer to keep in mind. Inside the technical vision, tell me a little about implementation details. Either pulled in from below or, if the principal is risen from my ranks, written from experience.

TWO DAYS later, you're getting to the richest people in the world. Remember, one million dollars a second.

I wasn’t making any comments regarding Boeing’s culpability, I was specifically commenting on the quality of the OP article. As those quotes are presented in the NPR article, they lack sufficient context to communicate anything meaningful, and based on what you’ve posted, appear to be reported in a factually incorrect manner (they directly contradict the guardian reporting, so at least one of them must be incorrect).
Actually, I would strongly disagree with this claim. As long as you don’t drink and drive, most people would probably benefit from moderate drinking.

It allowed Epstein to launder his reputation as a sexual predator and trafficker. Even with his donations recorded as "anonymous", he remained a conduit and effective networker for the Media Lab. Bill Gates donated $2,000,000, IIRC, to the Media Lab through Epstein. As part of his continued networking as a big dollar donor, Epstein continued using his private island to abuse and traffic underage women.

Basically, once his reputation was in tatters following his conviction, the Media Lab and various individuals found it profitable to rent their reputations (and MIT's) to Epstein.

> If you're just passively going into work year by year without thinking about whether or not the thing you're striving for actually fulfills you, you are absolutely exhibiting sheep-like behavior. For that matter, if you go off and start a company and throw yourself into it without some introspection, you're also exhibiting sheep-like behavior. In fact, there are posts about this that reach the top of HN every once in a while. There was one just the other week. If you haven't met many people or yourself been someone who has fallen prey to this in tech, I'd say you're either exceptionally focused/self-aware, or you might be snacking on some lotus in your spare time. Either way, whether or not you're a lotus eater, or simply someone who is content with achieving the goals they've set in front of themselves is something that only you can know.

the opportunity to be lulled into a false sense of achievement is possible for anyone. keep your own goals in mind and you'll avoid it! I couldn't possibly know about the inner lives of every person in tech, I haven't met and had good conversations with all of them. :)

I wholly concur that we should assume competence in the researchers and their stated confounding factors.

That said I think skepticism is always healthy when done in good faith and is a driving factor in increasing our knowledge.
In many rooms that kind of honesty can easily be interpreted as weakness. And it’s not so much what they say to you in the moment (we all have to keep up our pretenses)... it’s what they say when you’re out of the room. Is it fair? Nope. But that’s how it works in certain social settings.

I agree somewhat. I was having a hard time thinking of a good term, but cypherpunk was the best I could come up with (better than crypto-anarchist, crypto-utopian, hacker, geek, nerd, cryptographer, crypto-enthusiast). I did intentionally include variety even though I know it weakens the overlap. There were a bunch of things I could have included instead that would have been more similar, but I thought that was a bit boring.

The Wikipedia page for cypherpunk mentions Tor, Bitcoin, and Signal. So some of them are definitely cypherpunk. The 2 things I think are the least similar are RISC-V and homomorphic encryption. Both of those are mentioned in at least a couple threads on cpunks.org . In fact everything listed is mentioned on cpunks.org except Riot, Peertube, Dfinity, and Blockstack (although a different thing called Blockstack is mentioned). Riot is mentioned in /r/cypherpunk . There are articles linking Blockstack[1] and Dfinity[2] to cypherpunks.

I guess the only one that really stands out then is Peertube. It has a slight link due to a cypherpunk-themed instance[3] and the @cypherpunk@mastodon.social account boosting toots about Peertube.

There is one place where all those things are discussed: Hacker News. So I could have said "Hacker News user", but HN users have a reputation of being cynical, whereas I wanted a more optimistic term, and thought cypherpunk fit that.
