I think it's perfectly fine to use a nested list object that gets picked apart with destructuring until the point that it becomes a maintenance or performance problem. (That point could arrive later that same day, or it might come never).

This approach is one of the things that make Lisp Lisp; if it gives you an allergic reaction, use something else.
So top-tier -> state school but state school -/-> top-tier. I don't think that implies anything about hiring bars. My philosophy professor from community college graduated from a top-tier university and he chose to teach at a community college because he knew he would do much more good that way instead of being a professor at a top-tier university.

More generally, associating prestige with educational institutions is why they've started to decline because optimizing for prestige is not the same as educating the next generation of visionaries.

> How familiar with the books do you need to be to play this?

Assuming this game is like the Dune II computer game: you don't need any familiarity. For example, House Ordos (one of the three major houses in the Dune RTS games) isn't even in the books if I recall correctly. I grew up playing (and loving) Dune II (and all its sequels) long before I ever read Dune.

Ah, you're talking about this as a current-day commercial project. Carry on :-)

I'm a professional PCB designer among other things. Most of what I have learned came from hard-won experience designing PCBs for projects done for myself and my own education even though a custom PCB was hardly cost effective in a commercial sense. They were just much cheaper since my time was free. They weren't useless projects in that what I made was not easy with off the shelf parts, but it would have been possible and there wasn't a timeline to pressure me yet.

But I would not be a professional PCB designer now if it had not been approachable to someone without a budget but with plenty of time and motivation. I've basically spent as much money learning how to make PCBs as other people spend on things like ski trips or going on vacations or other hobbies. A free fab and tools to create designs is a godsend when designing these things is something you want to do for interesting experiments and learning in an otherwise totally inaccessible field. Even if you think now one needs a masters or PhD to do this right, being able to fail cheaply is a pretty amazing learning tool...

That's what this announcement means to me -- free fab means I can finally learn how to do this and get good enough at it that when the time comes that this is a better solution than trying to combine off the shelf functionality I will be well positioned to take advantage of that change.

I am thrilled to release open source designs for cool chip functionality once I'm skilled enough to do it and the only way I'd get there is if the direct cost to me was nothing (even if it's slow).
The Werther Effect is reasonably well known on HN. This article talks about the Papageno effect -- a portrayal of alternatives to suicide may reduce deaths by suicide.
The whole of Psalm 137 is actually quite relevant in this whole censorship discussion.

"By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. There on the willows we hung our harps, for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: 'Sing us a song of Zion.' How can we sing a song of the LORD in a foreign land?"

Be sure to check out the awesome Reggae take on it by The Melodians, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tAb5rYRXvs, as well as the great pop cover by Boney-M, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYK9iCRb7S4. Although, unfortunately, yes, both versions leave out the bit about dashing infants against rocks. After all, this is a foreign land, and if the Psalm were sung in full, it would be unacceptable to our captors!

> bible literalist traditions

Which is where this argument falls apart. Just because some church, group, etc decides to interpret religious writings or lore a certain way, doesn't falsify all religions.

As we've already seen - new scientific evidence reveals some truth about the Universe, and interpretations of religion, world-wide, are modified to co-exist with the new information. How you interpret some particular religion is up to you.
> How about we start with the blatantly racist assumption that I'm white?

I don't see this assumption anywhere. People of any race can be white supremacists and can benefit from white supremacy (consider for example Candace Owens).

As for the rest of your comment, I can't really address your fears. You appear to be living in a reality so different from mine, that unless you provide more explanation of how the country is running off a cliff or how black lives matter will reinstitute segregation or why you think you'll being unpersoned for... actually I can't tell what your beliefs are other than abject terror, there's not much more I can say.
>If you always respond to this by doing whatever the stranger advocates, you're likely to end up getting scammed or getting eaten up by a political movement or otherwise doing something you later regret.

That's amazing, it's an excellent summary of the theory the article proposes for why we instinctively discount evidence against our preconceived opinions. Basically it's to stop us getting scammed, but in the hunter-gatherer context in which we evolved, not a modern society with robust systems for validating evidence.

The pre-conceived opinions the studies test aren't always even things the test subjects actually care about though. They can be opinions about things they were only just exposed to and wouldn't be expected to have any personal investment in, such as opinions about fictional characters that only exist in the test. We're not talking about proving to conservatives that liberalism is right, or vice versa, some of the tests are literally concerning beliefs about issues that only exist in the test. It doesn't matter, as soon as an opinion is formed it's incredibly hard to change it no matter how strong the counter evidence, and even if it's shown conclusively the initial opinion was based on false data.

Correct me if I am wrong. Slack connect is available only in paid slack versions. When you collaborate across organizations than the assumption is all parties have paid slack. That most likely will not be the scenario when you collaborate with third parties. That is the big problem here.
No business with a 5-10% net margin can save 2 months operating expenses just in the off chance that there is a black swan event because doing so would put them at a competitive disadvantage over competition that doesn’t save and instead uses the money to lower prices, pay higher wages or invest in new products.

Meanwhile the government can borrow money at almost negative rates, based on long term tax collections, and arbitrage short term financial harm and need against long term repayment. Seems like a rational thing to do.

To your point, I know a bunch of people who applied for the forgivable loans just to see if they could get it. I know a guy who owns over two hundred Domino's franchises and got a $6M forgivable loan and his business has been up 30% since covid started. He can't hire people fast enough.
Another friend was pissed that he wasn't approved for a loan too even though he has zero employees.
It destroys living cells, and is very very dangerous. People should not be in the same room when these robots are cleaning. It should be treated similar to poison gas.
>"what about the nail salon who has 14 employees and took 5-10M?!?!".

If true that is an obvious case of fraud and you are making my point, the only time a loan will be repaid is if the money was spent on things other than payroll...which amounts to fraud.

Who cares if its a nail salon? Math is math, if you have 14 employees the maximum eligibility would be 8 weeks of payroll with a cap at $100k salary + up to an addition 25% for non-payroll expenses. $5-$10M for a business with 14 employees is fraud on its face.

It's a real problem, but mostly just for the sort of people who might sign on to a letter such as this: elite think tankers, academics, and columnists, who would love nothing more than to be able to continue spouting unsubstantiated nonsense with impunity.

If your livelihood is throwing opinions into the Internet wind, then of course cancel culture is an existential threat. As these sorts of people now tend to be extremely online, every little barb and retort pains them disproportionally, too.

For most of us, it's just a distraction. If you're not famous on the Internet, you can't be canceled to begin with.
> That which is not a part of base reality. If base reality were operating using the same rules as Conway's game of life then cells would be real, but gliders would be made up. Since Conway's game of life actually runs in a simulation on some computer or another, cells are also made up.

So in your view, anything that is a composite of two or more primitives is by definition "made up".

Therefore, given a standard definition of natural numbers [1], any number except zero is made up?

I agree. I'm horrified by the current administration and their handling of the health side of this pandemic, and I'm completely shocked at how well the Federal government and the Federal Reserve have managed the economic side. Between the stimulus checks, the PPP, and the trillions spent by the Federal Reserve to prop up various markets. Yes, many mistakes were made and we'll end up having spent hundreds of billions on fraud and waste, but I don't think people have an inkling of how bad things would have gotten otherwise. All I can say is that I'm glad most of the people commenting here aren't in charge or this country would have completely collapsed.

And it still could! I think things will get very dark very fast if Congress doesn't extend at least some of the $600 / week unemployment benefits.

I agree, videos shouldn't be censored unless they put other folks in danger. It's scary that there are some "flat earthers" who are just playing characters in order to get the ad revenue, but in the end they're harmless.

There's been a really worrying trend towards this idea of censorship or deplatforming. It comes out of the same spirit as silencing or burning heretics in the Middle Ages, of Nazi book burnings, and of McCarthyism. Not a sign of a healthy democracy...

Search engines aren't exactly "un-biased," they're just biased in more obtuse and often-unintentional ways. The entire field of SEO exists to make it biased in your favor.

(That's not to say SEO goes away in a catalog world - it just starts looking like the old-fashioned human marketing still used for other channels that it currently sits alongside.)

Influencers sit in a curious place between the two worlds. An influencer is basically an independent (but paid and buy-able) "micro-catalog" maintainer who is themselves exposed through an algorithmic platform.

(Disclosure: I work for Dailymotion)

I think personally that anyone having a serious presence on YouTube should consider at least having a backup of all their videos on Dailymotion or other service. AFAIK we don't do massive automated deletions like YT does. There are also tools to upload videos to both platforms at once.

While DM is not chasing youtubers to host their stuff there and even lowering the share of revenue for non-verified creators (the company has pivoted to "premium content" strategy and prefers to partner with big brands) and reach and monetization is way lower than YT, having a backup/fallback strategy (especially when you embed your videos on your website) is something worth considering given history of YT dramas.

DM is here to stay and your videos as well AFAICT. It was acquired by Vivendi (huge media conglomerate, owner of Universal Music Group) in 2016 and the company is rebuilding itself and growing.

The first day of English in school I went to the glossary to verify many of the commands.

Great response. I wish all of the people criticizing these efforts would actually try to design a better program. Even the thought exercise would show how difficult it would be. Easier to crap on the work of others than actually do it yourself.

I also wish they would think about the consequences of no action. They probably don’t realize that cascade bank failures and supply chain disruptions happen fast and become permanent. In March there was a realistic possibility of systematic seizure of finance and the supply chain grinding to a total halt due to lack of financing.
