I thought the most interesting part was Mark asking not to be bothered with these types of issues in the future. By saying do it, but cut it 80%, he sounds like he wants to be able to say he made the decision to "reduce" extremism, but without really making a change.

I am not sure I can agree. Facebook did not change in any significant way. It still serves as a platform to boost your message. It is, at best, simply a reflection of the human condition. The previous example was the internet and some of the revelations it brought about us as a species. FB just focused it as much as it could.

Force for good. I do not want to sound like this, but how, in your vision, that would look like? This is a real question.

For industry wide statistics, something like https://www.cambridgeassociates.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/... is pretty good. All returns there are gross, not net, but they show top quartile funds returning 15-20% gross over the last decade, varying a bit year to year.

For specific fund performance, I don't know of anything public. Most of the big names have had some funds with >20% returns, usually as they get bigger those get harder to maintain.

A more interesting question is why is abortion consistently used as a tribal issue in US politics.

Of course there is an underlying difference of opinion, and of course it matters to those on both sides.

But it matters because the media have done an exceptionally good job of herding people into different camps - by focusing on a small and standardised collection of divisive issues and amplifying the rhetoric around them.

Does someone benefit from these divisions, and from the loss of civility and civic cohesion they create, and perhaps also from the implied promotion of violent oppositional defiant subjectivity over rational argument that powers them?

Which is another reason why attribution of cyber incidents is notoriously difficult.

The CIA is hardly the only organization to put misleading evidence in their attack path. Also, countries like China and Russia have healthy malware ecosystems so a Chinese-written malware can end up in the payload of a {North Korean, Russian, Iranian} cyber attack.

Personally, I'm starting to believe that the only way to have extremely high confidence in attributing an attack is to have surveillance of the person on the source keyboard when it happens or to have telecom evidence of people admitting what they did. Most of the actual attack is probably robotic at this point.

Being in a human-minimum seems to be part of it. AI and software could do far more than they do, but the problem is that everything around it assumes human-evolved systems, which destroys the potential for software. So if you look at just what AI can be wedged into the cracks, you'll conclude it's largely useless, but then if you can replace whole systems, you get much larger gains: https://www.overcomingbias.com/2019/12/automation-as-coloniz...

"the leader of the country represented by .us [...] threatens nuclear wars"

Why would that be controversial at all? Reagan won the cold war against the Soviet Union by calling them an evil empire and repeatedly talking about nuclear war. Kennedy was able to get the Soviets out of Cuba also by raising the spectre of nuclear war.
And I'm guessing most of the time the "thousands of ways" don't all point in the same direction.
You seem to have rose colored glasses on, in thinking the west does not do things to sabotage others.

1. Stuxnet was active sabotage.

2. Some Chinese antivirus company, Qihoo360, found signatures of computer viruses in China, that matched CIA field programs. Then, the company got placed on the Entity List. Go figure.

3. All the recent propaganda against Huawei seems to be very sabotage oriented. There was evidence that the United States had already stolen Huawei source code, and actively developed tools to hack it. But, whenever someone brings this up, the justification, is that it’s perfectly legal for the United States to do it to others, because it’s enshrined in our laws, but somehow, it’s not ok for others to do it to the United States. Go figure.

Consistency is like compound interest. If you get 15-20 mins of easy-paced exercise in 6 times a week (or even daily), you will get more exercise done than if you do 2-3 hard workouts. In addition, you reduce the chances of injury.

I have to be honest, i've never tried overwatch and kind of forget it exists, but i just looked it up and it does look pretty fun.

I dunno I grew up with blizzard. One of the earliest PC games I remember playing was Warcraft, I still remember being blown away when I seen that box in the computer store. I just devoured the manual the whole way home. I've been addicted to most of their games up through Warcraft 3, I sort of skipped the wow phase. But, all of the sequels i've tried and just the press stuff with blizzard i've kept up with has just left me feeling meh towards them.

I will make a parenthetical point that the WSJ, while expensive to subscribe, is a very high quality news source and worth paying for if it's in your budget. There are discounts to be found on various sites. And god knows their newsroom needs all the subscribers it can get (just like NYT, etc) to stay independent of their opinion-page-leaning business model that tends to be not so objective (the two are highly separated). Luckily they have a lot of business subscribers who keep them afloat, but I decided to subscribe years ago and never regretted it.

Ask HN: Who owns archive.is, and why are they trustworthy?
I understand the need for anonymity when you're doing this due to the sheer amount of abuse reports, fake and real DMCAs, etc.

But why do people trust it? How do you know the pages you're archiving haven't been tampered with selectively to change history? This is just out of sheer curiosity, and I am not saying they do this.

This is made further interesting because of the following:

- Analytics from various Russian providers, instead of self-hosted (FYI: I consider GA to be equally privacy-violating as Metrika or Mail.ru)

- Large amounts of reverse proxies off questionable or bulletproof hosting providers

- Indefinitely doing this can't necessarily be cheap either at scale, who is paying for this?

- Demanding tracking or else blocking your access to the site, blocking any resolver that doesn't send the first 3 octets of your IP to them (edns-client-subnet)

- Explicitly tracking you in odd ways: they repeatedly load pixels/do DNS preconnect/preload from wildcard subdomains containing a cookied number, IP, country, tracking IDs. View any archived page and ^F "pixel.archive.is"
Apocryphal? Reads like a self-help magazine article. Sure this could work, for some.

Well arguably an automated feature is one that is at least somewhat more intelligent than the manual version (e.g. spell-check vs. a dictionary).

Whereas on the other end of the scale people are aimlessly using subtle AI-related techniques like neural networks and calling the result "intelligent" even if it is anything but.
I happen to have a math teacher masters though I myself do not teach (but I do help with the program of a tiny, tiny reform school). This teacher here had painted themselves into a corner and it's hard to get out of it. Do not explain fractions with things you can't change the denominator of.

Rather tell it with money. Say, 1/3 means if the table has 3 coins , one kid gets 1 coins. If there are 6, 9, 12, 15, one kid gets how many? If the other table has five kids and 5 coins then 1/5 means when splitting five coins a kid gets one. Figure out together what happens with splitting 10, 15, 20 coins. Now putting together the two tables we want to calculate 1/3+1/5, how many coins can we do that with? Step through it, we practice 1/3 with 3, 6, 9, 12 ... but can you tell what the fifth of nine coins are? You can't ... Then find 15 and then show them 1/3+1/5 means 8/15. This is all play and very smooth.

To answer the question posed in the blog post: I would plan the class carefully to avoid the entire situation. But if I must, I'd point out 1/3 is a mere shorthand for division, 1:3 and writing "1:3 + 1:3" is adding two operations together and it does not even make sense. We can restore sanity but that has its own rules.
Even if it's possible, what's the point? IPv6 is available now. I've been running it without issue for over a decade.

My personal, non-Toutuber theory is that people should use YouTube as a promotion channel, but have your main presence elsewhere: make your own website your hub, use Patreon as your main income, and post copies to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Twitch, pretty much wherever you can.

That way, if you lose one channel you don't lose your followers, and you can take your time to deal with getting your channel back. And you still get the benefits of YouTube's reach.

> They're the ones who the accounting is ultimately for.

I absolutely agree with you. I just don't agree with the conclusion this article reached: that stock-based compensation must be accounted for as an expense that affects income because, in the case where shares are issued via dilution, it doesn't affect income.

Is there a better way to present this to owners than GAAP vs. non-GAAP? I think so. Have I given it much thought? Not really. I just don't agree with including dilution as an expense that makes companies appear as if they're losing money hand-over-fist.

I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but this article didn't do it for me.
And this paragraph

> It goes without saying that LC has no understanding of the significance of an integral or a derivativeor even a function or a number. In fact, occasionally, it outputs a solution that is not even a well-formed expression. LC is like the worst possible student in a calculus class: it doesn’t understandthe concepts, it doesn’t learned the rules, it has no idea what is the significance of what it is doing,but it has looked at 80 million examples and gotten a feeling of what integrands and their integralslook like.
I love this post. I rarely watch the news any more. I was surprised that during the beginning of this current era, I found myself watching news for the first time (like not just clips posted elsewhere, but explicitly seeking it out) and it's honestly degraded even more than I can imagine. Most major news networks talk to their audience like children. They provide entertainment or promote the agenda of their advertisers.

Years ago I stopped watching satire news too. I use to love Colbert and Stewart, but I also realized I was laughing at .. genocide. I thought that such a format might make people more aware and such news more palatable, but I came to believe that it just makes us numb and dumb to some of the harsher realities of the time we occupy.

If you do have to listen to something, I suggest the No Agenda Podcast (one of the oldest podcasts in existence) and the Corbet Report. Even then, take them in limited doses.

> Does anyone use their 3D glasses that used to ship with "3D TVs" circa 2013? My Samsung TV came with a pair of active 3D glasses that were collecting dust. On the other hand we've had adoption of touch screens on handheld devices, it almost swooped the entire mobile market between 2007-2012 after iPhone's introduction. But the same thing didn't happen with Keyboard + Mouse input on a desktop computer. Infact, the market just exploded with new mechanical keyboard aficionados sometime around 2010, I still remember hanging out on geekhack a decade ago and now mechanical keyboards are everywhere.

Glasses based 3D sucks. People who don't wear glasses don't want to wear glasses and find them unconfortable. People who do wear glasses don't want to wear two pairs of glasses and find it uncomfortable. Active shutter glasses give some people headaches from the flickering. If I could get perscription lenses with polarization for my TV's passive 3d, I might play with it... But I watched like one 3d blu-ray with the glasses and that's good enough for me. This display looks interesting because the viewer doesn't have to wear anything, but we'll see.

Touchscreens on mobile works because it's cheaper to build than a number pad, and way cheaper than a keyboard, it's cheaper to extend the touch screen so they don't use any real buttons on the front of most androids. The flexibility is helpful for text input.

A basic keyboard for a computer is $10 at retail because there is no size constraint making things expensive. Even a $10 keyboard has better user feedback than a touchscreen, but a computer sized touchscreen is going to cost more than $10. Plus, ergonomics. Touchpads could overtake mice, maybe, but desktop is being vastly overtaken by mobile, so it barely matters.
Need a bad sector on your disc? No problem, just make a little sticky tape handle on the last edge of the disk in the drive. Open the drive door, leaving the disc in and spinning. Then wait till the computer says go, and pull really hard on the disk against the drive head. I couldn't believe this worked back when I was 10.

I was just talking about this with a friend earlier today. It's interesting to have witnessed Blizzard go from indie maker to #1 PC game studio to whatever you would describe them now. But the reasons for their downfall shouldn't be surprising, since you see similar in tech often:

Step 1: Lose core talent that made your company what it was (Blizzard North, Chris Metzen)

Step 2: Misalign incentives between shareholders and users (Arguably: Destroying the SCBW pro scene, Diablo mobile, RMAH, WarCraft Reforged's journey so far, etc.)

Step 3: Add time

For the younger generations, Riot Games is now to them what Blizzard Entertainment was to me when I was growing up. Hopefully Riot doesn't fall victim to the same issues, or perhaps these issues are inevitable for any company after a certain growth stage.
I thought this was going to be a plug for podcasts, which are indeed supplanting some aspects of the news business (see the NYT article about Joe Rogan the other day).

So many projects are stillborn because of the paralysis caused by assuming things are done through heroic feats rather than mundane tasks such as setting up a bank account. Concentration on the effort, consistently, and holding oneself accountable to consistent standards over time compounds.

It's the willpower to be self-accountable which forms good habits.
People do go on Facebook and argue with others, but that's not the core of the divisiveness. Rather, people sort themselves into opposing groups and spend most of their time talking amongst themselves about how good they are and how horrible the other group is.
Agreed, Notion is awesome.

I have even stronger feelings about Roam though. Notion is "better" than just abt anything else like it, whereas Roam is different -- there is nothing else like it.
I think its less about making scenarios about their fears and more about their motivations. If you know what they want and what they fear, you know what drives them to do the things they do and you can come up with responses or scripts that tie back to either a means of getting something or avoiding/preventing something they fear. Fear doesn't have to be something tangible either, but something like loneliness.

Its about creating deep, relatable (or, at least: understandable) characters, that make the world feel more alive and not just a dull response dispenser.
Have you ever wondered why someone would have a wallet that says 'Bad Motherfucker'?
