The incongruity comes from the collective ideological demands of Capitalist societies (that they are sustainable, don’t lead to ecological collapse, endless war, devolve into fascism in their periodic crises, etc) and the lived experience that, yes, they do actually do all of the things their ideology denies.

As a kind of society-wide psychological complex, Capitalism can’t function without massive amounts of this denial and projection. But the threadbare nature of those defenses is everyday more exposed, and inwardly directed, especially following the collapse of the USSR (which existed in a similar, but differently conjugated state).

That is just your opinion. To offer an anecdotal counterbalance, I was a cog in a 100k+ employee fortune-20 company. Nothing was more demoralizing, soul-sucking and useless than an 1:1 meeting. I always felt like crying out and quitting. This in a career with 10 different managers, 5 different nationalities.
Contrived wooden questions like these would be a solid reason to not work for a manager.

If someone isn't able to empathise with other humans well enough to discover how they're doing without trying to artificially manipulate a conversation with a checklist, they certainly shouldn't be managing anybody.

Just talk. Do it often and do it honestly. That's all.
Why? (It sounds like the sort of thing you'd try to reduce to the halting problem, but I'm not sure how.)

One of the defining characteristics of humans is our ability to create shared fantasies... or "lies" if you are cynical. One of the most important jobs as a manager is the creation of the shared fantasy of the workplace environment.

"Hard work creates results" is an obvious lie, or fantasy, to anyone who has any amount of programming experience. You can look to colleagues and see that some people can get things done in hours what another person may take weeks, or months (of good, hard work) to accomplish.

So what's the point of the fantasy? If the fantasy is no longer helpful, we humans have the ability to change the fantasy, change the story, change the workplace culture, to better suit the morale and psyche of the modern worker.

With luck and hard work, a shared fantasy can become a shared reality.

In the case of "Hard work creates results", the fantasy is real if the programmers have the support they need to move in the correct direction. Its not so much that hard work creates results, its that a GOOD MANAGER creates situations where hard work creates good results.

That might not be easy, for the same reason you can easily transform vector graphics into raster one but not the other way around or output of decompilers doesn't look nice: you are losing information during the translation process. You can easily transpile TypeScript to JavaScript, but that's not true for the reverse process.
Even if the user has fine-grained control over these things, the app can just refuse to run until they're granted. I don't know if the reddit app does so, but many do.

This is why users need control over the internal API layer of their phones so they can feed spoofed data to apps.
You are dead right but I wonder if the article is badly representing the story or her lawyers were bad because Getty won the lawsuit anyways.

> Mental illness... is, essentially, when your perception of the world persistently does not agree with the external reality

I don’t think that’s correct. I’ve had depression and anxiety my entire life, and I’m well aware that sometimes things aren’t as awful as my mind makes them out to be (and sometimes they are), but the conflict with reality isn’t what fuels my despair and angst. If it were then I think it would be a lot easier for people to just think or reason their way out of the “pit of despair” that is depression.

> If that's a correct characterization, is depression really a mental illness?

I don’t think it’s useful or helpful to try to define our way out of the problem. Changing the definition of a thing doesn’t really help the people who are suffering and trying to just get out of bed in the morning.

I don’t think the internet has had the dematerializing effect that many people thought it would. Consumer spending hasn’t exactly decreased. If anything, the internet has made it easier to purchase material goods and services.

The assumption that there are limits to the growth of the material economy is only true if we think of Earth as a closed system. It doesn’t have to be that way.

In fact, even if material growth stopped in its tracks this very day and never resumed, our current economic activity is more than enough to destroy the biosphere given enough time.

We have to either put growth into reverse (which won’t happen—people won’t give up a modern lifestyle, and they’ll guillotine you if you try to make them) or we have to open up the closed system before it’s too late.

> Didn't IBM have OS/2 Warp for PowerPC CHRP systems coming out that later turned into vaporware?

It was developed, and pre-release versions were available to developers, but the whole "Workplace OS" initiative and OS/2-PowerPC was killed when it was obvious it wasn't going to meet with commercial success. Memory is fuzzy as to the specific sequence of events, but it's of a piece with the Pink/Taligent failures as well. I also recall performance not being too great. By the time Warp 4 was released, I think the IBM Personal Systems/PC hardware business had already signed a major OEM deal with Microsoft for Windows 95 and NT.

I know I saw at least one book sitting on a major retail bookstore shelf that was geared toward developers on the OS/2-PowerPC platform (sadly, after the platform was already dead).

Some of us in the early 90s had big hopes for CHRP and PowerPC, outside of the Mac universe.

I agree, I'd reiterate my point about the company culture here though. And the team - but I think that figuring out what works for your team would be part of the managers' job.

Just to be clear, I've never been in the manager position here. Always the engineering position, so I can't really speak for a broad set of people.
I’ve been using it for (if memory serves) and I can confirm it’s by far the best Reddit client I’ve ever used. The only (microscopic) downside is that when one navigates to a Reddit link it isn’t offered as an option to open in. But that‘a Reddit’s doing and not theirs. Thumbs up.

The article seems to articulate that happiness is the opposite of depression and that unhappiness is synonymous with depression. That could be arguably a thing in a purely rhetorical sense but is absolutely incorrect in a clinical sense.

Clinically speaking depression is the multi symptom result of one or more chemical imbalances in the brain resulting in arrhythmic emotional states. The opposite of depression from a clinical perspective is emotional balance. This is why treating specifically the symptoms of depression often results in relapses at later times.
Probably the main reason to consider travel slightly hazardous is that you'll be in close proximity to other travelers and people who service travelers, which likely represents some risk.

What if a group of Chinese nationals traveling to a tour get on your plane / bus / etc, or were the previous people in your seat? You don't have that high of a risk from this scenario, but it is more exposure than you'd get at home.

Walks n talks are great but they aren’t 1:1’s in the way the author is envisioning them. The difference is a walk n talk is something you do when you have unscheduled free time and want to sidestep email for a direct conversation. A 1:1 is More like a weekly postmortem.. you celebrate wins, you figure out how to not repeat mistakes. But from a manager’s perspective, a 1:1 is all about ego management. For example, if I am a ceo, there’s some things I can do in a staff call to resolve conflict and bottlenecks but not much - otherwise I squander the energy of the staff meeting. Instead, I can have 1:1’s starting first with revenue... what are the roadblocks. Outside a 1:1 setting I can’t get the sales manager to get honest with me and own up roadblocks that his/her own doing vs the ones from other departments. From there it’s a cascade of meeting with successive department leads until I’m down to the one guy who owns fixing them all - product. If you’re the manager of a team further down in the org, you don’t have this end to end ownership for the entire business but the theories are the same... organize your week so you’re building a pipeline of issues and then meet with the people most able to resolve them. Doing it in a regular 1:1 session helps isolate egos and creates consistency.. if you’re trying to solve roadblocks that appear/resolve inside that weekly cadence, you’re doing too much of your own employees work for them. Ideally you’re focused on the next major milestone and the one after that.

This is possibly my most-uninstalled app because it makes reddit too addicting for me to handle.

Its popularity is certainly a comment on the problems with overly JavaScript heavy web apps.

Apollo’s biggest weakness is notifications. They don’t appear as quickly as they should and, for me, chat notifications don’t come through at all. I don’t prefer chat, but I’ve noticed an increasing number of users will open a chat with you instead of messaging you now.

It also doesn’t support having multiple “tabs” open at once, although you can sort of hack it by using the main tab and the search tab. Hoping multiple tabs come to the eventual iPad-optimized release.

But again, great app. Possibly too great for people with limited self-control!
I've been trying to avoid an object-level discussion here, because that gets boring pretty quickly.

But the criterion you're proposing applies just as well to Antifa as it does to the Three Percenters, unless you add in a heaping helping of "has opinions I don't like".

Which I'm unwilling to do, because there are people who don't like my opinions, and this kind of thinking gives them ground to persecute me when it's my turn.

So where do I draw the line? Somewhere between the Patriot Prayer crowd and Atomwaffen, basically. The Proud Boys are skirting right along that line, and catching lengthy prison sentences for their trouble. So I think the system we have is working, and don't feel a need to give it more teeth.

I think the kids who show up in black and start street fights are a gift to the far right. I wish they'd hang it up; their hearts are mostly in the right place, but it's strategically stupid.
I don't use reddit any other way right now, honestly.

I miss the side-pane view that AlienBlue had for iPad, but everything else is great.

My 1:1s have the following format:

- Current tasks

- Career development/Goals (we have 6 week and yearly goals that the employees select for themselves with a little guidance from me)

- Special topic, different each time and very much aligned with the posted list. My question for next time is about values.

- Feedback, both delivering and soliciting (this has proven to be the hardest for me, as it takes time to think about and articulate feedback well)

I do the 1:1 at a nearby coffee shop since I think people feel more open outside the office.
I wouldn’t throw around such accusations so lightly, they could very well have life changing consequences. People have lost their livelihoods over far lesser insults.
Um, no. You can't take a public domain image and claim you own it and are thus due licensing fees, that's both immoral and .. save this ruling which I'd hope would be over turned, tout de suite .. should be illegal.

This is a serious problem. If companies can take public domain images and claim them as their own that's going to seriously curtail the public domain. What benefit is there to the pubic in that, the balance of copyright would be entirely broken by such a ruling of it held.

Now claiming $1B? Not sure. But the sum would need to be a significant portion of Getty's global revenue to make sure they didn't claim they had ownership of other public domain works.
In my experience, the importance of the 1:1 is correlated with the size of the organization. At a 1000+ person company with teammates spread across 10 time zones, the meeting is a must because I have no physical cues. This only works, now, because of the ubiquity of video conferencing.
Privatization, pharma? Between regulation and licensing it was my understanding that in practical terms pharma is at least as much public as it is private.
I disagree. Scientists have been sounding the alarm over climate change and man's impact on it with pollution and emissions for over 3 decades at this point.

Not according to YC’s own website [1]. YC’s average deal size is 150k. In order for YC to burn 135m they would have to invest in ~900 different companies compared to Softbanks one bet on robotic pizzas. Investing in 900 different companies is a much more diverse portfolio and an entirely different value proposition.

If you want to cheer on the intelligence of Softbank because they lucked out with an investment in Alibaba early on, you must still hold stock in Yahoo!...

I fell ill and I happened to luck out with exceptional insurance. I'm the 99.9 percent tier of best insurance available. If I had anything like like a typical individual I would be in financial ruin ending in bankruptcy if I don't die first. I'm 37, sometimes devastating illness comes out of nowhere. I'm lucky I was covered. Most people in that situation would be fucked.
My interpretation of the Uber situation is that they were rushing in an incredibly reckless way. I think the Uber system described in the NTSB report is probably far worse than what Uber's more conservative competitors (Waymo, GM Cruise, etc) had at the time.

Mark Fisher addresses a component of the chemical imbalance theory, and why it doesn't go far enough:

>This commodification lay in the so-called ‘bio-chemicalization’ of depression. This is the assertion that depression is caused primarily by biochemical imbalance in the brain, namely low serotonin levels. To treat mental health illness is to treat the symptoms of a single person who ‘owns’ their illness. Depression is internalised and individuated. As such, we lose a sense of collective responsibility for mental health illness in terms of causation, understanding and treatment.

>This is not to dispute that depression is not neurologically verifiable. Rather, it is to dispute that the neurological disposition of depressed people is caused only by internal, biochemical factors. If, like Fisher, we ask: ‘What causes low serotonin levels?’ we are forced to comprehend mental health illness as a culturally contingent phenomena caused by a conjuncture of biochemical and societal factors.

From: https://thepanoptic.co.uk/2017/08/06/repoliticising-depressi...

>This is a crucial question. The way in which social and political problems are converted into individual pathologies, to be explained via chemical imbalances or family history, neatly sums up so much of what has happened under capitalist realism. It’s what I’ve called the privatisation of stress. Depression has been described as a pathology of responsibility: you feel intensely responsible for the state that you’re in. The excruciating paradox is that, while you feel that only you can get yourself out of depression, the condition consists precisely in your inability to act. There’s more than an analogy with the political hopelessness and fatalism that have characterised capitalist realism.

From: https://theoccupiedtimes.org/?p=3454

You can actually see just how much scrutiny the pure theory of chemical imbalance has come under from psychologists and sociologists on Google Scholar[0].

"The cause of mental disorders such as depression remains unknown. However, the idea that neurotransmitter imbalances cause depression is vigorously promoted by pharmaceutical companies and the psychiatric profession at large. We examine media reports referring to this chemical imbalance theory and ask reporters for evidence supporting their claims. We then report and critique the scientific papers and other confirming evidence offered in response to our questions. Responses were received from multiple sources, including practicing psychiatrists, clients, and a major pharmaceutical company. The evidence offered was not compelling, and several of the cited sources flatly stated that the proposed theory of serotonin imbalance was known to be incorrect. The media can play a positive role in mental health reporting by ensuring that the information reported is congruent with the peer-reviewed scientific literature."

My guess why Getty won the lawsuit is because lawsuits are in order to grant damages and she wasn't able to prove monetary damages to herself as it was already in the public domain. Unfortunately there is very much law enforcement against entities falsely claiming copyrights, especially those that technically have no owner. It seems hard enough for you tubers who get claimed by copyright troll companies constantly and steal their advertising revenue.. or YouTube technically steals and res distributes to the copyright troll. Even those cases you won't see criminal charges or even civil or monetary charges unless the copyright holder wants to go to court. It's basic time scamming. Copyright trolls can claim 100 million videos in the time it takes one person to defend one of those claims. Basically every day these companies make claims that would take the combined lifespan of the entire world to defend against.

Existing in all systems is not the same as it having nothing to do with political systems - especially political systems that occupy all of daily life, as they do. There is no aspect of urban daily life that is free from the compulsion to use one's time to make money, either to survive or accumulate, and nobody - neither the capitalist nor the worker - is free from that concern.
