I think the fundamental error you're making here is thinking of philosophy as a monolithic metastructure of human thought rather than thousands of discrete silos of academic study representing millions of perspectives over the course of human history.

I would argue that one of the reasons we have so many societies that are so heavily dependent on scientific understanding yet also so perilously ignorant of science is because of the dearth of philosophical study in those cultures.

In order to parse scientific understanding without wasting its insights we need to already have the mental tools needed to critically asses the usefulness and truth of said knowledge.

That is what philosophy provides. From epistemology to logic to the wider existential questions, exploration of philosophy is what leads most modern people to rationality, whatever their starting points.

For many people, understanding their religious or moral philosophy within the wider network of possible options that people have considered valid over the eons is the first step in the direction of scientific literacy.

To discount that study because you're already a rationalist is reductive and self-sabotaging.

I agree that there is a probabilistic argument to be made that Trump’s words are more likely to lead to violence than Costolo’s.

However that seems to me to be all the distinction is. Costolo is a public figure. A multi millionaire, almost certainly richer than Trump, and there are violent activists who support his kind of rhetoric too.

It seems pretty clear that Twitter not censoring his tweets the way they have with Trump is based on a political distinction.

You could even see his statement as declaring Twitter itself to be an activist organization that sees revolution as inevitable and is working towards that aim.

That would undermine the idea that it’s somehow at a different level of seriousness to Trump’s tweets.

Costolo is talking about murdering business people whose ethics he disagrees with.

He could be instead be talking about voting out Trump and reinvigorating democratic institutions, but he isn’t.

They are personally useless for me. On many occasions I wantied a no-code no-hassle "point and click" automation and I have tried them a few dozen times over last 5 years and never had any success even once - they had always lacked something and were unable to do things I wanted. And I wanted nothing extraordinary, typically something like a proper bidirectional synchronization between two services (say, Alexa todos and iOS reminders)

They seem to work for many people though, so they aren't useless in the general sense.
I think it’s so strange to see all of the arguments saying “if this building is colored as gray instead of blue, then it is making it harder to understand the past”.

A layperson does not care about the exact color of a building or a jacket or a hat, and if it is really that important then it’s probably documented somewhere.

It might be important to historians and that is ok. But they are not the intended audience of these type of upscaled/colorized clips.

I can't believe they're shitting on "They shall not Grow Old". The whole point of it was to give an emotional and immersive experience of one of the worst wars humanity has seen to modern audiences. There can be other goals than absolute historial accuracy. All Quiet on the Western Front is one of my favorite books and not because it's the most exhaustive and accurate history of WW I.
Instart Logic basically acts as Cloudflare for a site, but also acts as Cloudflare for their partner ad companies that have signed up for it. It's actually served first party, but the first party is a "trusted adtech partner" instead of depending on the publisher site to not commit ad fraud.
There's a big difference between a colorized movie and historical film that's been colorized.

The movie represents a directors vision, and how it looked in B&W was part of that vision. I agree, they should not colorize old movies.

But historical films are in B&W because that's all they had, not because they wanted to depict it that way. I'm sure if the creators of those films had the option of 4K HDR, they would have used it.
I think the other thing is I find it hard to remember what the core web vitals mean, and to relate them to what's going on.

When we used to measure TTFB, DomContentLoaded and page fully loaded, I understood what those meant and could relate them to what's going on on-screen.

The core web vitals are a bit abstract to reason about - and how they're linked. FCP vs LCP, how they interplay...

I'd like a video where a page loads and PING! a vital happens, the page pauses and someone talks about that vital, what's led up to it, what's affected it and what would change it. Then the page unpauses until the next vital is reached. Something to make it relatable.
I don't really see the parallel. The poster I responded to seemed to be asking the question in a personal capacity, not from a position of power over others. When you front an organization representing, and being represented by, hundreds of people, then yes, politics are unavoidable by definition.

Furthermore, unless there's more context I've skimmed over (I assume you're referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24636899), it's not clear that Coinbase will suffer any negative consequences from this whatsoever aside from being shunned by activists, which I presume is a consequence they're okay with since they published a blog post explicitly alienating that group. The only folks being forced I see are the employees being told to pipe down or ship out.

(also, while it may not be substantive to this discussion, the belief that neutrality, especially explicit neutrality, is tacit endorsement of the status quo is neither extreme nor unreasonable)
In Texas, if you pull a background check on someone you're required to provide a copy to them which I always felt was a good minimal standard - at least then you know that someone pulled the check and what they found.

I am a wrong person to ask. I've never advertised XML as machine to machine format. I've used SOAP, XML configs, it was not smooth.

My interaction with XML mostly was in browser where it shines compared to HTML as application format. I have my own list in defense of XML, wrote first one [1].

Unfortunately your argument is "I don't need it" which is not a lot. Imagine Unicode instead of XML "ASCII works for me, Unicode does not fit in char, not even in wchar, surrogate pairs, access by index, wrong encoding". I mean, sure, stick to ASCII.

Now, transformations, the idea was people would catch clicking quicker than real programming language. Turtle, Scratch have its place. Visual Basic has its place. Excel has quite big place.

I was describing it this way to a colleague: Javascript is a Japanese girlfriend, too polite to show you your mistakes so you have a hard time to know what you did wrong.

companies should have the right to decide whether or not they want to hire people with a record like that

They do.
The "block scope spirit" is there but not quite the same. A lisp "with-" macro requires you to remember to use it. It's not much different manually writing code to release something, in the fact you must remember and explicitly do it.

Ah, what I had meant was in response to:

what if the person asking the question wouldn’t have gone with any approach in particular? Do you find it more polite to suggest an approach nonetheless?
That assertion about the KKK is, in fact, a myth. The KKK was founded in 1865, just after the US Civil War, and had as a bedrock principal the re-establishment of white supremacy. It's initial actions were to frustrate Reconstruction-era policies through violent action. Today, they'd be labeled a terrorist organization. Their aims were inherently racist, political and their tactics violent. Through a variety of means, they more or less achieved their goals such that by 1876, the entire south was once again under Democratic control.

It wasn't until the revival of the "second wave" of the KKK during 1910's and 1920's that they even started taking on anti-catholic stances. It was during this era that the burning cross, anti-communist, anti-catholic and anti-jewish stances came into being.

Finally, I have no idea where you got the idea that the KKK had "many black members". As far as I'm aware, no credible evidence for that has ever been put forward.

FWIW I've never had an issue with the cables. The only time USB-C has bitten me is when trying to charge a device using a charger meant for a lower tier of hardware. I've never had any issues with USB-PD chargers. For example my MBP charger works on everything. My phone chargers don't work at all on my cheap Chinese laptop, but they'll trickle charge my MBP (which has honestly been a lifesaver). Even my $20 battery pack will get me a few hours of laptop life

an employer keeps track of employees' absence for health reasons

That works differently in Europe. Employee health is a personal matter, and the employer does not get automatic access to that information. The employer can get a dedicated physician (affiliated but not employed by your employer) to assess your illness and guide you back to work, but even then the physician's records are off-limits to the employer.

Speaking only for NL here, but I think the regulation is the same EU-wide. When you call in sick, you are not obligated to answer any questions from your employer except:

- whether the cause of the illness is (or might be) work-related

- how much time you expect to be out

- discuss a next moment of contact (phone appointment or presence in the office)

Any data regarding the illness itself is off-limits for the employer, you are allowed to volunteer the information but the employer strictly isn't even allowed to ask.

Of course, I think every disease should be treated at the root. Maybe the father of the serial killer had a boring or inhumane job or they didn’t have enough money to send him to fancy college and projected all his frustrations on the children and the family and that child has the potential to become very dangerous to society. I agree not everyone would recover but a good percentage.

Soviet Union collapsed and China started retooling for capitalism. Foreign propaganda dropped off.

Meanwhile in the US the 90s boom was kicking off and the US was exploding into global hegemony. Why protest and fight the man when communism was collapsing and there was more to gain from getting on board the winning team.

In other words, the trend dropped off externally and internally there were a lot of reasons to assume that history was in fact ending and to jump on board with MURICA and FREEDOM.

In terms of the general effects that some counties are richer than others, and some years people are richer than others, this will be captured by our fixed effects that control for overall birth rates for each combination of county, year, and number of children. So all effects are measured relative to other two child families in the same county and year. This captures the large majority of other regulatory and social changes that might be happening in that county and year.

Next, we also add income by year and income by county fixed effects. So if richer people in a given county have more children relative to the average of all two child families in that county and year, we'll also control for that. If richer people in a given year have more children compared to the average of all two child families in that county and year, we'll capture that too.

The point isn't that you need to add every one of these complicated fixed effects to find our result. It shows up in simpler tests too. It's just that you can control for a lot of potential confounding effects, and it still seems to be there.

Paying a random is a better user experience than restoring a backup.
I agree with you, but it is a really hard problem with huge, diverse, systemic drivers. The OP mentions how much work from how many people this takes - the entire process could fall apart at any of the steps, plus it required personal relationships and favors. There's also the measure of success; it's pretty relative. I've seen programs touted as huge successes when the recidivism rate is "only" 25%. This speaks about how hard it is to break the cycle, but also would your company be happy with 1/4 employees having a serious drug problem, or stealing or committing a violent crime, vs. (number pulled from thin air) 1/50?

We DO need more of this. It's going to take a lot of time and effort, and (sorry growth hackers) it won't scale.
Okay, so tell us what these "unpleasant complexities" that we're avoiding are.
Ask HN: Why are C#/.NET developers less paid than their Java equivalent?
I have noticed this trend on Stack Overflow and other reports, C# developers seem to earn less than their Java peers. Is this because there is a lot of C# developers that do Game Dev which is known to have way lower salaries or is there more to it?
Interesting article, but I would say this is squarely from the perspective of the less technical people involved: lawyers, prosecutors, management types, apart a little bit from Art who knows about the steps in unencryption and so forth—interesting, none the less.

My opinion about it is that many companies don't understand their systems (and yes, I do blame Microsoft, Apple and for that matter Salesforce or Oracle). However, many people don't understand their microwave ovens, myself included, so perhaps it's unrealistic to start that conversation and perhaps focus on the pragmatists, like Art.
