Seems generally harmless. As usual there's the natural tension in self-organizing groups between ensuring inclusiveness while not weaponizing the tools used to protect inclusiveness. No doubt someone will succeed in the latter with the UCoC. No doubt in its absence someone would have abused their position unshackled by these explicit norms. It's just an optimization problem.

But that's just the nature of the thing. The network of WMF controlled sites is just far too big now for efficient auto-cooperation, which often happens. So now we have rules to mediate. The rules don't seem particularly onerous, though doubtless one day someone will find out that I advocated against organ donation on Twitter and drag me through the mud and request a rewrite of all my en-wiki contributions.

But until then, I've found en-wiki very easy to contribute to. I think the norms around picture copyright inclusion are super strict but everything else is easy. I've been a member for more than a decade and auto-confirmed for some long time so maybe that's it, but honestly I don't interact with other people at all, and the other day I looked back and I haven't been reverted once over that period.

Starlink has comparable RTT to many physical paths if you’re not living right next to a data center. They are only 500km altitude.
>he has unilateral control of the company

Bu that reasoning, if 1000 people each own 0.1% of a company, and one buys another out, then the person with 0.2% has "unilateral control of the company", implying that the other 99.8% could not stop the desires or action of the 0.2%.

This is nonsense. Any 3 of the 999 could stop the 1.
The issue is that many allege that one doesn't need surgery so long as they identify as their respective gender. Saying "I identify as a [gender]" is enough. There are clear differences between the biological sexes which drastically impact physical performance in athletics. Look at the texas high school wrestling champion, the under-15 boys team in dallas beating the world champion womens soccer team, etc.
Yeah he replied elsewhere that capture is over 90% so maybe not problematic
Putting that in the form of a question detracts from the message without protecting you from harsh judgement. Just say it. Equalizing people to a lowest common denominator is no good for anyone.

It's the absurd premise of No Child Left Behind, which sounds nice but logically implies that no child gets ahead.

Wireless is a great solution when there is spectrum available. If you have access to low band frequencies as the cellular companies do you can blast through trees, walls, etc.

Even with that they need fiber to their towers to provide the speeds necessary
You say “to get a good interest rate, you need 75% LTV.” Not true. I have a 30 year 3.25% fixed and that was at 95% LTV. Rates are damn good right now.

Having been a nerd immersed in nerd culture for a few decades, I would suggest you consider that question in light of the degree to which the referenced trope is popular in our community. Yes, there are individual people who don’t contribute enough but that doesn’t mean that entire fields are useless any more than developers who slack or code for job security are an accurate representation of our field.
The light bends around the galaxy. You're right that looking straight at the galaxy wouldn't work, but looking just a tiny bit to the sides does.
I’m totally uninformed about wireless power and it’s safety, but it seems like a lot of people in these threads are so I’d like to fire it this question: can high gain 5Ghz WiFi cause any adverse health effects? I just got a new MikroTik router yesterday that has a really high gain radio on it. It shipped with the 5Ghz dedicated radio disabled, and I have it sitting under my desk. When I turned the radio on, I started to feel a tingle and a dullish pain in my ankles. When I switched my phone to the 5GHz network I perceived increased radio noise, and noticed a tingling sensation in my hands. Prolonged use seemed to irritate my forearms. It’s entirely possible this is a psychosomatic effect and I’ve kept the radio on based on that assumption. Still, I’m concerned. It feels similar to the effect I feel standing off-axis from my microwave while it’s running 1100W full blast.

Is this in my head? Am I safe to use this radio at full gain? Should I not keep it by my desk?
They seem to have written this as basically “If someone wants to be referred to a certain way, please acknowledge that in good faith”. I don’t see any mention of anything specific to the American progressive movement.

So if a Thai writer identifies themself on a Talk page as a gender or orientation you aren’t familiar with, it would be polite to acknowledge them and use the pronouns they prefer.
That was one boring "research" survey. I skimped through the first one and got 14 out of 14 and in the second one, I slept through it. Just clicked on slider at random without looking. Seems flawed.
I read the whole pitch deck and it seems like you've thought it through well. I'm curious about the potential for failure; if one of the last links freezes up somehow (i.e. the disengagement you mention elsewhere fails), is there a process for clearing it?

The single shaft vs multiple parallel approach does seem a bit risky in the early days. If there's a 10% failure rate, and you built one shaft, that's a 10% chance of an existential threat to the company. 10 shorter shafts mean one will likely be inoperable.

Of course over the long term worrying about this doesn't make sense. Once you've scaled, 1k large vs 10k small shafts would not matter from this perspective.

Best of luck mate!
I mean, that's simply not true. In 1955, GM had 576,000. US steel: 268,000. GE: 210,000. If the number of companies with huge amounts of employees has ballooned, well that could easily be a function simply of population growth.

I think the argument you're trying to make is that CEO's of larger companies should make more money comparatively. That may be true (you want the best people in charge of the most people), but you would expect that wage growth to be more linear in number of employees, rather than exponential.

The point is, no C level executive has squared their performance metric, at least not in an individually attributable way, and especially if you consider the negative externalities those "performance gains" have introduced.
Really? I have not found that to be the case. Would you mind linking to an example of racism or misogyny on ZH? If you have proof of your assertions I will dump them as a source.

The whole thing of just needing to say you identify as a woman is 1000% bullshit and in fact the pushback against such stupid things is causing a lot of problems for “real” transpeople.

When I speak of transwomen I’m referring to people who have had surgery/hormones. To me if you’re willing to get rid of your penis that’s dedication and unlikely to be a ploy to win medals in track and field.
Consumer rationality is irrelevant here - it is about markets being fungibile and stepping away being replaced by others. There is nothing fallacious about that. Arresting or killing drug kingpins didn't solve the drug problem - the demand mechanism ensured that others would try to fill the vacuum.

What would be fallacious is assuming that consumers are rational enough to avoid problems from usage especially when externalities are involved. See the many fentanyl overdoses for example.
> The Covid-19 crisis has shocked us by revealing the weakness of Western government, particularly in the United States and Britain, and the strength of the Chinese government.

Edit: I forgot about inexpensive arduino nano boards. I'll leave my original incorrect comment below though.

Is this supposed to be geared towards hobbyist? If so, the $1 cost is sort of irrelevant if you have to spend $20 to $100 on programmers, development board, etc., when you can get a Pi Zero for & micro sd card for about $10 and be up & coding in an hour.

How can I do 2) if I don't even have a list of who is listed that I might want to buy? I don't even need closing prices at the very moment, I can't even find a single member of LTSE after spending 5 minutes on your site...

The goal seems laudable but this feels like a mess to me if it is actually "open for business". Neither of my two big bank brokers support it and even if they did, I again have no idea what I would be investing in.

To me, the wildest thing is that in order to find out of I could even invest, I had to find out via a bad UX of reading a hacker news comment, going to a different website, being confused by that website's UX, having to read more comments, clicking into a tiny link that leads to a long PDF and scrolling to a specific page, and then repeating for all my broker options. Why not just list the major people who serve LTSE on your website clearly along with the tickers/companies?
The first wave wasn't really a proper first wave though in terms of numbers.

Just like you, I don't mean any malice and I'm only trying to help you appreciate other perspectives and not put you down or nit-pick. (It's hard to do through a text-only noisy channel and I think you've done a better job of it than I have).

That said it's pretty clear that there's a bifurcation in how people read your comment, although those who reacted negatively are evidently an unpopular minority. Democracy has spoken and it's clear that I was being unreasonably sensitive.

I know it's hard and a lot of work to have to simulate other perspectives for every little comment, and it's better to err on the side of communicating more rather than never saying anything to avoid offending random people. So I'm really not trying to be critical! I just want to help you appreciate a perspective that is, I think, very hard to imagine from the vantage point that you (and almost everybody) have right now. And understanding that perspective is useful not only for avoiding offending random internet denizens, but also for better appreciating the good parts of the tough situation that you have right now, and for reacting empathetically when one of those random internet commenters reacts in an apparently unreasonable way.

What I'd suggest trying (although it may be painful) is, imagine that the children that you love, but who are causing you such headache these days.... Imagine that they all passed away in a car accident and left your house eerily, painfully quiet and childless. You and your partner struggle to cope with this every day. And then a coworker on a zoom call laughs that their children are causing such chaos at home that they wish they could trade places, and you start to get unreasonably mad at what is just a figure of speech. You can't stop yourself from un-muting your microphone and shouting "no, you don't wish that!", de-railing the meeting.

In this scenario, I don't think either you or your coworker is wrong to be doing as they do, but you might hope that your coworker would react in an understanding way, and think of a better expression to use next time.

Anyway, you're right. "Careful what you wish for" would have been a much better and less hostile reaction. I apologize.

I have felt an almost imperceptible tingling when I stand off-axis from the my microwave too. I thought it was a figment of my imagination. Based on the experience you shared, it might not be. I don't experience anything like that with my 5Ghz wifi or anything else though.
Go read ELIZA's author, Joseph Weizenbaum's book, "Computer and Human Reason"; well at least the first 2 chapters. Let me justify it, (I'm typing it out from a hard copy so excuse my brevity)

Page 4:

"DOCTOR...soon became famous...mainly because it was an easy program to demonstrate. Most other programs could not vividly demonstrate the information-processing power of a computer to visitors who did not already have some specialized knowledge"

As in, the mid-1960s, this was (one of) the first non-technical computer programs. No commands, no manual, no conceptual overview needed - just sit down and start typing.

Page 6:

"I suggested I might rig the system so that I could examine all conversations anyone had had with it, say, overnight. I was promptly bombarded with accusations that what I proposed amounted to spying on people's most intimate thoughts; clear evidence that people were conversing with the computer as if it were a person who could be appropriately and usefully addressed in intimate terms ... what I had not realized is that extremely short exposure to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people."

Page 38:

"Like highways and automobiles, they [new forms of media] enable the society to articulate entirely new forms of social action, but at the same time they irreversibly disable formerly available modes of social behavior."

... that's a pretty deep insight about social media, especially from 1976.

Pages 115-130 he writes quite critically of "hacker culture", characterizing the participants as "compulsive programmers" and comparing them to gamblers. I'm not making any judgment on his claims in those pages, but his arguments are fairly unique and I had not seen them before.

Not sure people are generally arguing different.

Most people consider other people who want to kill themselves in a point in time as having temporary insanity so stopping them in the act is ok, because it is not 'them'.

It is also ok to want to stop people wanting to long term kill themselves like stopping adictive behavior.

Using force here might be controversial but we can just do the same playbook as addiction.

In California, deaths are only counted if the death certificate has “COVID-19” as the cause of death. If someone is hit by a car and is also positive for COVID-19, that shouldn’t be counted.

This determination is made by local health departments based on the cause of death reported on death certificates. It is expected that, to be counted, COVID is the cause of death or at least a contributing factor to the death. COVID-related deaths are also counted in “Positive Cases”.

Happy World Suicide Prevention Day.

I've learned it's best not to assume why someone took their own life, because chances are I'll be wrong. In the case of Chris Cornell, if I hadn't assumed I wouldn't have even had to know, but it helped for me to search and find out that he had a very severe physical pain problem that was treated, understandably, with prescription drugs that carried risks. It doesn't seem his mental strength was much of a factor in his death by suicide. Now I can enjoy his music more.

While I haven't got to the bottom of some other suicidal behavior that I've been affected by, I've started to see it as extreme pain and lack of sufficient means to deal with the pain. Every situation is tragic, and most who survive a suicide attempt are glad they survived, and 9 out of 10 will not die by suicide at a later date. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/means-matter/means-matter/survi... Suicide prevention is about providing help, not interfering with someone's wishes. When someone makes it through to the next day, that's another opportunity for them and others to build up resources to deal with whatever it is they're struggling with.

Please be careful talking about suicide. The phrase "died by suicide" doesn't bring assumptions into it like some other phrases do.

Finally, here's a good article about it that addresses both grief and what it's like to be suicidal: https://tim.blog/2015/05/06/how-to-commit-suicide/
What is "fair, neutral, and global" is also all debatable, especially when it comes to human interactions, and ultimately distills into arguing epistemology.

A code of conduct's purpose is to bound and define the operational environment towards facilitating and progressing the foundation's goals by minimizing distracting or otherwise negative impacts of any particular action, regardless of what those actions may be and who perpetrates them.

There is no prerequisite of objectivity to such a code, nor can anyone say what is objectively true in these situations.

> Without even mentioning any specifics of the documents, I guess I'm referring to the general trend of the HR-ification of everything. There has been a huge creation of rule systems which give elites and managers more weapons to bludgeon people and groups who want to operate differently than the universal corporate structure, largely as a way of preventing the need to save face in the case of social media outrage.

This is such a strange trend. Organizations are adopting American style progressive ethos, but not via their explicit values but via inserted HR processes that seem to be en vogue.

> One thing I have noticed from multiple real life experiences: this mentality rots organizations. The HR-minded are more concerned with creating an impossible perfect organization that crashes into the ground than creating an imperfect organization that actually produces something of tangible social value.

It is hard not to see this as a form of entryism in that the people pushing these polices are looking for the power and control without the cost of creation. However, I think there is a far more cynical approach. A huge company can bare the cost of socially expensive HR-values but a small open source team cannot afford the toll of the policies.
