I've tried to understand this (obviously quite angry/ranty) article and cannot actually figure out what data it has.

It seems to not be based on actual replication results, but predicted replication results? But then the first chart isn't even predictions from the market, but just the author's predictions?

The author clearly has a real hatred for practices in the social sciences. But I don't see any actual proof of the magnitude of the problem, the article is mostly just a ton of the author's opinions.

Is there any actual "meat" here than I'm missing? Or is all this just opinions based on further opinions?
I'm afraid you're missing the point. When I say people don't acknowledge each other's existence, I mean people literally within a few feet/meters of each other, who could easily see and/or speak with each other if they made even the bare minimum of effort.

When another person is in your physical presence, it's almost like you're deliberately ignoring them when your eyes are glued down on the smartphone. It's personal rudeness, a diss. "You're not even worth raising my head and saying hi."

This is correct. If some given set of landlords can get away with charging $50 more per month, they'd already be doing it. Some individual landlords might be irrational, but as a whole property isn't a market where people leave money on the table.

This legendary meme that everyone in SF is making 300k and drives a Ferrari has taken on a life of its own, and now we even have people outside of the Bay Area believing and repeating it. This is an outlier compensation for senior people at outlier companies. Anyone would jump ship for it, but it's not like hundreds of companies are handing out these salaries at the airport when you land.
Who is demanding this? My company is openly talking about “office optional” when normalcy returns with “office days” being the exception rather than the norm.

My employer carved out a standalone PHP script from a dark corner of a legacy application years ago. We show it to candidates and talk through what they'd do differently. I like it because I can judge not just the candidate's technical competence, but their level as well. If you're a junior, I can see if you have an eye for detail and pick up on the database query with a syntax error or mistyped variable name. If you're more senior, you'll tell me about job queues and workers. I had one candidate start with "the problem is the management structure that allowed this to happen in the first place". I have plenty of leading questions for candidates who are hesitant to criticize our code, and will tear it to pieces in front of them if necessary.

I worked as a janitor for a while in the midwest.

Lots of office workers had paper-only bins under their desks. Except, there was no place for janitors to put that paper, anywhere in or around the building. Just one big garbage dumpster. As someone else pointed out, we were also under massive time pressure.

Even if we had wanted to recycle the paper, there wasn't a way to do so unless we set up our whole own system, packed it into our personal vehicles every night and drove it to a recycling center miles away (all unpaid). Anyone who broached the subject was mocked.

Roles like content marketing, ad-based leadgen, devrel, marketing strategy, and managing a team of the above are pretty different, and the needed mix is stage + company + funding dependent.

I think of the startup path as basically the options of:

- Scrappy: start with content marketing / generalist for basics, potentially via a senior VP/CMO consultant/advisor + founder, and then get a full-timer. Bigger question is Sales or Marketing full-timer first. After content table stakes, switches to experiments to figure out strategy (ads, devrel, viral freemium, ...): Most bang will come from a couple things, so need someone experienced enough to experiment to find them. If things are going well, can get the advisor as an early superstar hire, or at least basics setup for one.

- well-Funded and with fit: Hire someone to build the team and guide them through experiments.

Note in both cases, someone senior in startup experience, esp for your segment, is useful, even if as an active advisor / consultant.

A trickier q to me is when to fire the marketing lead, esp as things are still getting figured out. Once fit is achieved, it is more of a numbers and process game, but before then...

Can you elaborate on multiagenct cooperation? I grant your abstract point that markets are hard, but carbon taxes specifically are pretty straight forward and we can see that Europe has no disastrous consequences in their implementation. Further, we know to a very high degree of confidence that continuing our carbon subsidy will have disastrous consequences. A carbon tax is the simplest and most elegant solution.
these platforms don't support youtube via a programmatic interface like this (and other libraries). They basically embed videos so the "API" is an http request for the traget url.

YT constantly changes how it masks access to the underlying resources with JS updates that break these libraries. The most frequent updates are to fix this.
Mine is a glucose tracking app that I made for my girlfriend. I did all the reverse engineering of the CGM, electronics, design and coding and published it so she can use it.

Except it hit a bug a few weeks ago and the "ugh" of setting up the dev environment with frontend tooling, Gradle and android just to fix it has left me procrastinating forever.
We have work that revolves around a CMS. For releases, we usually have changes to make in content, and the process is painfully slow. These changes are rendered as PDF documents, and so in order to test your changes you have to run the whole application to see your change. Each "run" takes about a minute, but you can imagine how quickly it adds up.

I got assigned this work and I was immediately aghast that I would have to do such work, and I took it upon myself to improve the system [in my free time] so that this process is efficient and doesn't make me want to hate myself.

So, in your case, you take the initiative and ask if you can change what's mundane work. If they say no, ask if they would consider if you did the work for free. They might consider it then, but if they don't - look to passing off the work to someone else, or if all else fails, look to find another job. Nothing is worse than working for a company who does things because "that's the way we always do it." These companies are going to have hard times adjusting to new technology and frankly aren't going to help you advance your career either.

A Review of Language Learning Tactics
I might be one of the few, but I like the ads I see on Instagram and have purchased lots of things via IG ads. I can’t think of any other app/site where the ads have sucked me in.

I realize this is besides the point, but I thought it was worth sharing in terms of how they might be doing personalization. For me, it’s so good that it actually works.
That's one of the best jokes I've read all day. Instagram and book reading. That cracked me up.

Elixir looks pretty interesting however lack of static types has held me off from picking it up. Curious what the experience of people with typespecs and Dialyzer has been:
1. How close do you think it comes to static types?
2. Does it have good IDE plugins providing type errors as you code?
Neither Apple nor Facebook own my privacy. The fact that some people are turning this into an argument about Apples walled garden is a very convenient way to side step the real issue which is that some organisations feel entitled to my data when in fact that should be up to me if I want to share it or not.
Having just finished watching The Social Dilemma about fifteen minutes ago -- then hopping onto HN to satisfy the itch before bedtime (the irony is not lost) to read some commentary about Apple, Instagram, and Facebook.

"There are millions of [small businesses] out there that rely on us to target customers and to reach those customers." (quote from Instagram CEO)

I'm not an Instagram user / customer / product -- but it seems disingenuous for the CEO of Instagram to claim the company's primary concern is these myriad tiny companies, other than in the context of them indirectly buoying up Instagram's business.
Rolling your own tools is an irreplaceable way to learn things thoroughly.

That said, HN readers from outside the Elixir should know there are great libraries for all of those use cases. Point in case is background job processors—we have plenty of options, though I’m especially fond of Oban[0] (full disclosure, I’m the author).

Lots of software interview practices would never fly in the medical world:

Take home tests, work samples, and coding challenges are like asking a surgeon with 20 years experience to remove someone's appendix at home as proof that they are competent.

You're right of course when it comes to many European countries. I really can't understand why comments along yours are downvoted on this thread. It's enough to watch how German drivers behave in Poland for example. Once the threat of a heavy fine and speed traps at many places in the city is gone they speed recklessly the same way as locals. If you respect a speed limit in Polish cities you will get a lot of rage directed at you. That's the case in many European countries I drove through as well. Not all countries mind you but most of them.
That's a very thorough exploration of the topic, thanks. There definitely seems to be a two way street between chemistry and consciousness both affecting each other allowing us to tackle the problem of depression from both ends. I'm very excited about the result coming out of psychedelic research which seem to chemically trigger and stable improvement in thought patterns.
Alan Kay was also fairly specific about what he meant by encapsulation, and it's not just making things private. For example, he wrote, "Doing encapsulation right is a commitment not just to abstraction of state, but to eliminate state oriented metaphors from programming." And, later in the same paper, "Human programmers aren't Turing machines—and the less their programming systems require Turing machine techniques the better."

Java's programming culture tends to favor a shallower approach to OOP that cleaves very closely to the fiddly, imperative, state manipulation-oriented approach that is emblematic of procedural programming.

A great example of this is Java 8's streams API. There's absolutely no way to evaluate a stream without introducing a state change that will alter its behavior. Which means that, unlike for almost any other comparable API in another language, you can't safely pass around and share instances of Stream for fear that someone might break it on you. It's the shallowest possible interpretation of the abstraction in question, and making it that way was a deliberate decision that motivated by the tacit understanding that Java programmers have a fundamentally procedural way of thinking about the world, and would be confused by something that was truly declarative. The only other language I'm familiar with that takes the same approach is another popular "procedural programming with objects" language, Python.

This isn't to say that people can't do principled object-oriented programming in Java. Just that few people do. In part because, if you try, you'll end up constantly picking fights with the JDK. Not entirely unlike how you can do principled functional programming in Java, but it's an uphill struggle.
Traditional forestry in Europe was keen on preserving total forest area for future harvest. And after the general shift from burning wood to burning coal, forests actually expanded.

In my country (Czechia) the contemporary forest cover is about twice as much as in the 18th century and several per cent bigger than in 1950.

The problem is species composition. Those forests are mostly monocultural and prone to devastating disease / pest outbreaks.

I CAN'T WAIT for decentralized infrastructure to finally become robust enough that clones of instagram and facebook can all share a network -- they'll all become portals to the same social graph data. When that happens, there will no longer be any reason to put up with this abuse of privacy garbage.
However, hasn't this happened just because they themselves wanted to be mobile first - mostly due to the fact that it was (and partially still is) a "virgin territory" in which abusing users privacy is easer? Sounds like they should only blame themselves...
Some day you will have to learn to understand that not everyone thinks the way you do. In America, it's OK for people to have different views on things. In many ways it's encouraged.

I don't think Jobs would have cared if you thought he had good taste or not, or whether you think he's a "square." As for boring, it's already been widely documented in newspapers, magazines, books, and online that his short life was 1000 times more interesting than your life ever will be.
Like another poster said, put your distraction in a physically-distant location. The farther it is, the more energy it's going to take to fall into your bad habits.

Nip the thought of your habit the soonest you possibly can. You are thinking about playing a game? STOP! Thinking about wasting time? STOP! This not only helps you avoid the activity but strengthens your resolve while the need to distract yourself dissipates.

Get involved with others. We fall into addictions/habits because we can tend to be lonely [or otherwise avoid our feelings]. Reach out to friends, plan an online game night, call a friend. The more you involve others, the more help you will see it has on you.

Ultimately what helped fixed myself was a combination of:

- therapy

- praying [to God] (ultimately I needed this to finally rid myself of my distractions, everything else included)

- community

- persistence

There will be many many times where you fail too, and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it, but instead accept it and try again.

Not only that insanity, but... you need a thing called "ID" these days. ID to fly.

If you can fake ID, and you're on some list, why on Earth would you use the same name? And if you can't fake ID, then it will be linked to, you know, ID numbers, birthdays, and more.

I can't even imagine how "just names" ended up on that list, as a match requirement. How many John Smiths are there?

Very, very strange. I don't get it.
Isn't this similar to other trade rules that China has already?

> And a review is expected to be more like auditing your customers entire financial history than just asking what they meant by a word

In the US, which is presumably where the sanctions trigger originates (the company is on OFAC's list), a review of a transaction is just that. Even opening an account doesn't require a review of your customer's entire financial history, merely that, for a business account, you understand the nature of your customer's business.

> In that climate there's no good reason not to massively over-filter, the risks of a false negative are way too high.

There is, however, good reason to do an actual review and not outright block transactions. The advice PayPal gave its customer, "change the wording on your website to prevent this from happening," is exactly what competant regulatory training tells you not to do. Changing the wording of a transaction to obviate the need for a review is in itself a red flag. PayPal is utterly incompentant.
Or just using it it to spam advertisement.
> More than 40% of those driving Amis are under 18

On this quote, it should be noted this is for the Ami specifically, and not for the market it is targeting.

There are other vehicles already existing in this “less than a car, more than a scooter” niche, notably Renault’s Twizy, but also makers like Aixam who build “license less” cars mostly for elderlies, people who never bothered passing the driving license or lost it at some point etc.

Perhaps the Ami is just not competitive enough to take significant market share from those, and is pigeonholed in 18- market, but the whole targetable market is larger.
This "tiny cube" weighs 500kg. For comparison, the first car I owned, a Fiat Punto, also had 500kg.

In hindsight, I'm happy that I wasn't allowed to drive it at age 14 without a license; I'm pretty sure that I would have killed somebody...
