When you make shows targeting children, you can just retread the same storyline with updated graphics and your audience will be totally entranced.

That said. I think this is different from civil war. The focus there was on “big brother is watching you” and mirrored real life debates about State surveillance and forced licensing.

In this case, the focus is on children and may end up mirroring real life debates about childhood independence, home schooling, and government usurping the authority of parents in a child’s life.
> Like everything else, there are ways to do it right, and way to go complete bananas with it.

Sure, agreed. Sometimes it's implemented well and sometimes it isn't. I've experienced some of both.

When it isn't well-implemented and is particularly non-critical, it can feel a bit dystopian to the engineers. If done well and for a good cause, it should be fine.
> YouTube is a corporate product, just as you say, and yet still has a major influence on the population's aggregate belief

What is your evidence for this? There are so many other sources of influence in this world that I find this idea completely at odds with reality.

Considering the content of YouTube's top channels I think the evidence isn't in favor of that suggestion that YouTube has a noteworthy impact on "the population's aggregate belief"
Honest question: in what ways do you feel it to be deeper than Civ 4? (I'm a 4 fan who did not like 5, and now I'm wondering whether I should give 6 a try.)
Even more strange is that when the file failed to parse after uploading, they just threw out the files instead of keeping them to analyze later.

If they still had the uploads they could go back and convert them properly and apologize for the delay.

It's just bad engineering all around. Even if there was a less glaringly obvious bug that caused parsing to fail, how would they debug that parsing bug without a sample file?
These types of censorship patterns are identical to that employed by China in intent. The practical consequences are the same as well.

In China information censorship is due to the government trying to promote peace and harmony. Aka, the government thinks it knows what’s best for people and forces it on people.

Facebook et al also encounter these same problems, where they see people spreading “misinformation.” It’s a hard problem to solve, but they essentially resort to taking the same types of censorship as China that everyone so easily criticizes.

The irony is Google is now doing it too after claiming to have left the market due to forced censorship.

Some people may cite China’s censorship/banning of Falun Gong. What people don’t bother to look into is that Falun Gong is an anti-gay, really out there cult. Their censorship justifications of that is not unlike censoring “fake news” like this “doctor.” While it may be right (of course their methodology may be questionable), it completely short circuits the ability for critical thinkers to actually analyze all content. It’s done supposedly for the greater good.

I'm not even convinced that the US would win a direct war with China. It would certainly result in the sacrifice of probably 100s of millions of lives, if it became nuclear. I feel like MAD will continue to be a very powerful force in preventing a full scale war with China. (Unless there's an accident an unpredictable event, which is something that keeps me up at night.)

Everything else needs to be tried before we jump into "let's have a full scale war with China, one that we can't even be sure of winning, and would likely end in life becoming much worse for both the average US and Chinese citizens". We've barely even started trying, so let's not just jump to the worst possible solution.
Fix bikes. There is presently a bike shortage, but probably a vast inventory almost-working bikes hanging in garages. Offer for a fee, a "no parts" bike tune-up, meaning you do what you can without access to spare parts, and quickly let them know if the bike is beyond your help.

A bit more adventuresome: Offer to buy klunkers and then use them as a parts supply for fixing the bikes that can be fixed, or combine parts to create working bikes that you can sell.

Many bikes are purchased with the best of intentions and then set aside for whatever reason. Later, the owner isn't sure what's needed, if anything, to get the bike in riding shape. They might even throw you a nominal fee just to be reassured that their bike is OK to ride.

> One way to do this is pay ratio caps at companies. It's pretty hard to argue against this: if you really believe that wealth trickles down, then you should have no problem trusting but verifying that.

That's not what trickle-down economics was ever about, to my understanding. But more importantly, a plan like you suggest would surely increase the user of contractors, rendering these the proposed pay ratio impotent.
America doesn't have unconditional free speech either. It's illegal in many states to produce and distribute a pornographic movie. And even if it's legal, some practices are strictly forbidden because the state deems them morally wrong.

Absolute free speech is a flawed concept anyways and even America acknowledges that with the legal concept of hate speech.

When FB first had tagging and there began to be problems with people not wanting pictures of their topless beer-bonging to show up on Grandma's wall, I thought a good approach would be that all pictures with multiple people should only be visible to those who are tagged in it until everybody is tagged and everybody consents to public display.

That's likely true. Would be interesting to see ad revenue figures for a good cross section of the industry.
Power usage. The classic TI-83+ can last for a whole school year on four AAA batteris.
In many European jurisdictions people have a 'right of their person to their own likeness', meaning that publishing pictures requires consent.

This seems like a straightforward application of this, and more importantly gives the children power to control what information of them is on the internet.

The European legal landscape is perfectly fine and gives children the right to put a limit on what their (grand)parents can do with their image. It protects the privacy of children, which honestly shouldn't even be controversial.
Be ready to learn. Many if not most HN discussions attract at least a few commenters who are really experts in that field - sometimes world experts. (Of course, they also attract a lot of people who obviously aren‘t, and most people will be somewhere in between.) You‘re welcome to put your reasonable opinion out there, but keep sufficient humility to accept that you may have been mistaken.
I have a suspicion.

If psychologists surveyed one of these companies, like Amazon, to look at the sorts of attachements the employees have now, and had as a child, I think you will find distinct deficit of people who had a happy childhoods with secure attachments sticking around at these companies.

The bravado and masochism so common in such places, in my opinion, is a form of self-bullying. You don't have to look hard to find managers exploiting this characteristic, and I suspect the most of the ones who thrive in such an environment do it. I worked a brief contract there and it was clear that the manager was used to making statements designed to trigger his subordinates' insecurities.

When your self worth is tied to the quality of your work, but your ability to self-evaluate is not solid. you are vulnerable to manipulation. I have that trigger too, it's just harder to hit, especially by some punk who is used to saying 'frog' and having people jump. I felt sometimes like he was waiting for me to react to some subtly passive-aggressive statement he just made and I just shrugged it off and stopped talking or kept going.

A master can be very tied to the quality of their work, and hand you your ass if you try to disagree with them. This doesn't develop overnight, and it's a winding road, but it's very undeveloped in a bunch of 25 year olds with a toxic cocktail of Impostor and Dunning-Kruger, and any 28 year old who spent more time honing their interpersonal skills in college has some ideas how to get what they want out of such people.

And those people think this is okay. Normal. That it's only what they deserve. And then we have a culture of avoiding psychotherapists, who would tell you two sessions in that this is bullshit and you shouldn't have to live this way.
So you have 5 engineers building your product. Now you hire 10 more and organize them in 3 shifts. What work do you give to the 10 new engineers? Are you supposed to now hire 200% more PMs, designers, QA, etc and make up some new projects for these guys?

I see this comment again and again on this thread "if it's really critical spend the money", but the thing is even small companies sometimes have critical systems. Simply because they're trying to compete with bigger ones, or they're partnering with companies that do have critical systems and the SLA gets passed down the chain of dependencies.

I don't see this being a huge hurdle to programs to help with problem solving. Back in the aughts, I would regularly write programs to solve basic kinematic equations in basic and distribute them to my fellow classmates under the blessing of the instructor. I got to reinforce my mental models of kinematics and I removed some hurdles for my fellow students who were good at problem solving and rearranging variables but weaker at math. Ultimately, I learned so much from that class.

> If the goal is to only subsist, there is an option to reduce hours worked in exchange for reduced pay.

No. You need to factor in the future.

The whole passive income/early retirement crowd is a great example of it. They want to create regular income (from projects/businesses or investments) to allow them a simple life for all of their future years, while they go do whatever they please. Few people do that, because it typically entails working much harder today so you don't have to work as much or at all tomorrow.

If you removed the hurdle or working harder today, many people would choose that route.

> There are also numerous financial options available to you such as annuities or insurance if you are worried about protecting yourself from unforeseen financial hardships.

Absolutely. And you need to pay for those. To do that, you need to earn more than you currently need to subsist.

> The tensions between China and the West result from China's rise, not from the CCP being in power. China is not more or less 'friendly' because of the CCP. They are simply asserting themselves, advancing their interests, and trying to right perceived historical wrongs.

This is a weak argument because a non-CCP China would be even more economically entwined with the West since its market would be a lot more open ie shared interests. It would share more political culture as well e.g. Tienanmen and Xinjiang would never have happened. Also if your argument was correct, developed Western nations would have a lot more beef with both India and Brazil today, and with Japan decades previous. They don't. A modern KMT China would a much stronger version of Japan or South Korea. History still sides more with my argument.
So? Is that so bad? You don't need to buy the DLC. Do people make this same complaint about stuff that goes up on humble bundles for free?
I can see a system where you build where land is affordable, you bring transit there and you have buckets of units. Units for families, units for college kids, units for singles and you stratify the units so that like people end up with like people. Those who like quiet get quiet neighbors, those who like noise get noisy neighbors. Mix climbers with climbers and losers with other losers. You don't need groups that drag down others dragging down people who have a chance and you want climbers helping others.

This won't work in the US for various reasons, but it may work in other places where they can move people accordingly.
Having your video removed from someone's website isn't the same thing as having your internet cut off.
I think being asked to stop distributing magazines with people's photos in them, when you didn't get prior permission to publish them, is reasonable.

To be direct: You made a nonsense statement, and now your changing your claims. Your statement was: "anyone that tells you they are able to outperform the market at scale as it relates to R&D outcomes is lying." This is a false statement.

Your question was never about doubling global output of R&D. That's not a point one can even argue meaningfully; there's no way to offer more than an opinion there.

Your question was about being "able to outperform the market at scale." It was nonsense. Plenty of people and organizations can and do outperform the market, consistently, over many decades. That's not a survivorship bias, any more than weightlifters beating the general population at lifting weights is survivorship bias, or that Stanford CS majors have stronger technical skills than the general market is survivorship bias. It's a counterexample. Survivorship bias would be there if these were one-offs (company or individual makes ONE breakthrough, at random).

I'm signing off this thread. This is dumb.
I’d argue there is a long tradition of grandmothers showing pictures of their grandchildren to a limited audience in the form of physical photo albums.

The internet is relatively young; there is no “tradition” of grandmothers posting pictures of their grandchildren on Facebook publicly (not just to “friends”).

Online privacy is an entirely different beast. The world is still iterating on how to deal with it.

> Between the lines: The Atlantic's new majority ownership stake from Emerson Collective, the impact investment vehicle owned by Laurene Powell Jobs, has allowed the company to accelerate its growth in recent years, including a major staff increase and expansion that began in 2018.

"Emerson Collective is a social change organization that uses a broad range of tools including philanthropy, impact investing, and policy solutions to create the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Established and led by Laurene Powell Jobs, Emerson Collective is working to renew some of society’s most calcified systems, creating new possibilities for individuals, families, and communities."

Laurene Powell Jobs has ~$22 billion. She could pay the salaries of these 68 employees for the next 10 years if she felt like it without noticing a change in her bank account.

Obviously she is not obligated to do anything, but if employees of my "social change organization" that were hired under my watch, with my encouragement, were impacted by a possibly temporary economic downturn in the middle of a global pandemic and I could help them without sacrificing anything, I hope I would.

Is NYC mass transit not considered decent? The subway always seemed pretty reasonable to me. Admittedly, that's a city, not a state, but states vary wildly.

Comparing base compensation without taking into consideration the city the person lives in is useless.
My signing bonus was structured in 13 separate payments, one attached to my first paycheck roughly equal to half the total bonus, and the other half distributed evenly over each paycheck in my second year of employment. If I had quit in my first year, I would have had to pay back the lump sum payment proportional to how long I had been at the company. The "bonus" paid out over the course of the second year never needs to be paid back under any circumstances.

Relocation bonus would have had to have been repaid in full if I had left during my first year.

From the perspective of not taking advantage of the financial irresponsibility of recent grads, this is an improvement over the structure described in TFA, but the right solution is make sure that recent grads know what compensation agreement they're signing and can resist the urge to spend it all, that can't be left to employers, whose every incentives push against that. Big lump sum payment right out of college are very useful as emergency slush funds even if you can't responsibly do much with them for a few months.
The heuristic worked and the TC article provides a lot more background and context about this deal. It's not a close (never mind wrong) call in this particular case.
I took an English AP test yesterday. They give you three options for submitting your essay: Upload a picture, upload a text document (.doc, .pdf and a couple others) or paste your essay into a text field. Strangely, there was no option to type directly into the webpage.

I struggle with writing quickly, so I made the (rather poor) decision to continue writing up until about 20 seconds remained. I pasted my response and clicked submit with about 10 seconds left. The timer continued to count down and I was panicked because the submission was still loading. It finally went through with only 3 seconds remaining.
That can certainly work out then (depending on your expense to income ratio), all I'm saying is you need to do the math on what you can save based on the new income to compare saving rates rather then cost of living to pay ratio. I have compared offers from Seattle, NYC, SF, Pittsburgh, and Philly, for multiple big well-known tech companies. Pittsburgh and Philly were way cheaper cost of living, but pay was substantially lower as well so I would save more in other locations. SF paid the most, followed by NYC, followed by Seattle, but SF and NYC would have had reduced saving rates after looking at everything. Granted these were not all the same company (some were) so it's hard to do direct comparison and know what places like FB will do. I'd be interested in seeing more data as this occurs

More and more social interaction becomes intermediated. And especially during this time of quarantine. It's not as easy as convincing people. Because people are now all on ban-happy platforms. And these platforms synchronize their bans.

Let's say your video has some modicum of success on no-name-host.com. Suddenly facebook, youtube, reddit, discord all ban links to that host to reduce spread. They do this intentionally. They brag about it to politicians. They get rewarded for acting as a block... by the state.

It's a nice little proxy arrangement.
