I know that historically, newspaper headlines were lengthier, and quite likely to be a grammatically valid sentence.

However, periods were never used to end them, as absent a period it invited the reader to actually engage with the rest of the story. (This story may be apocryphal, but it sounds reasonable.)

Perhaps there's a little of that going on with people's communications where they wish to imply there exists more than they are saying (which may or may not ultimately be delivered to the reader).

For my part - as an over-30 non-American - I'll stick with standard punctuation.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. I mostly just thought my version was the obvious one - my first thought of how to do nothing was to duplicate something and then drop one of the dupes. I have very little grounding in lambda calculus, though, and generally find the other combinators harder to reason about.

The stack of paperwork on a house is just that, a stack.

You can certainly request the paperwork before signing it, but you'll be spending a week reading legalese. Even then, negotiating terms is going to take time too. In a hot market, the seller is more incentivized to just go with the next highest bidder and skip the legal negotiating that they themselves may never have read either.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but it's never really done for a reason.

What do you mean one healthcare plan is "wasted"? If you are offered a healthcare plan by several employers you just enroll in one and that's it. You waive the other ones. Your premium is paid partly with one salary, and your other salary is untouched. Where is the waste?

Well, the elephant in the room is the status of health insurance as a non-taxable benefit. If you removed that rule or made all healthcare tax-deductible, you'd de-couple health insurance and employment... But insurers like this system because they get the kinds of clients they like, and the government doesn't want to expand the tax exemption because it would cost them revenue.
How about just being honest and saying that the main purpose of the company is to make a profit and let's cut the shit with the superficial social and political stances.

Who will pay into a system like that?

Part of the deal for Uber, Lyft, etc is to push off expenses into others. Auto maintenance and repairs is another example.

Changing the system doesn’t deal with the funding. Uber, Lyft, and others are trying to not be in the funding loop for this.

Or, should other companies subsidize funding this for people who work for the gigs?

Now this completes the circle. The higher chakra you can control, the higher control you have over your body.

Hierarchy of chakras:

( Sahasrara ( Ajna ( Vishuddhi ( Anahata ( Manipura ( Swadhisthana ( Muladhara ) ) ) ) ) ) )

Muladhara: Your survival instinct. Only cares about surviving through eat and safety of self. Most related with your urinary and defecation organ.

Swadhisthana: Your pleasure center. You cares about taste of food you eat, how good a music you listen, how pretty is your partner. Most related with your pleasure organ like tongue and genital.

Manipura: Your willingness. Ambition, motivation, and willingness resides in this chakra. Most related with your stomach and vision organ.

Anahata: Your heart. Feeling of love and hate resides in this chakra. Most related with diaphragm, lungs, and heart.

Vishuddhi: Imagination and life force resides in this chakra. If any other entity gain control over this chakra, the entity might be able to use your mouth to speak and control the movement of your body, which is known as 'ghost possession' phenomena.

Ajna: Relaxation resides in this chakra. Control over this chakra would make you gain ability to relieves tension. Some thought, pressure, and pain in the body might exist as a form of tension. Meditation helps enhance this chakra.

Sahasrara: Unknown yet.

I think that idea is you start with a the basis of a mutually agreed upon mission, rather than produce rationalization to retroactively justify the work.

This can be hard if people came to the project for difference reasons and it is an interesting point, because missions can be narrowly or broadly defined. They can be framed in terms of a variety of ends.

But if you can agree on what the common ground looks like ... which might beed a BDFL or steering committee, then you can proceed from that point.

I don't think there is any way to get around the potential for misuse or misappropriation though. Either those concerns are in scope or out of scope of the project. The framing of a mission presumes they are ignored unless explicitly accounted for the in the mission itself.

> To say good isn't subjective is to say there is some part of the universe at some fundamental level that defines good.

Not especially: there is an abundance of immanent ethical theories that define the Good (or Right) in terms of basic things in our grasp: the number of people who go hungry, the number of people who die of preventable diseases, &c. These don't require some spooky or transcendental universal fundamental: they're about seeing people suffer in ways that we can measure, seeing that many patterns of suffering are generalizable, and taking actions to countermand that.

(There are also plenty of ethical systems that are both immanent and non-consequentialist. I follow one of them. But it's maybe beyond the point of the original comment to explain them.)

The counterfactual is still useful to think about, because what works for the poster may not work for the modal person. There is a big self-selection problem—if the poster wasn't a successful software engineer, we wouldn't be hearing about their life on an HN post. We are also engaging with their comment, because they are exceptionl and have an interesting life story—who read this article but didn't comment? And whose comments were ignored because their story was less interesting?

This person is clearly successful, but the question is whether their unique schooling experience was causal to their success, and we honestly have no idea. This person may have been equally, or maybe even more successful had they did typical schooling and college. Or maybe not. We also don't know if this person's experience translates to other children—does everyone benefit? Or are there hundreds of less successful unschooled children for every one success?

Isn't it primarily the state's responsibility to come up with a reasonable solution? California has nearly unlimited power in this situation, so it's not much of a negotiation.

Uber and lyft have one tool left: ask the people to override the assembly. If rideshare is more popular than no rideshare, it'll pass.

If you want a more nuanced solution, well, California had a chance to offer one. I don't see it.
You're talking about a completely different situation. In that situation, you should probably ask your boss for more information instead of assuming what he wants based on puncuation. I'm just saying that given the choice between applying malice to the punctuation, maybe do the opposite.
> am afraid that he will miss out on all the social aspects.

Consider carefully and closely what those social aspects are. Check that your perception matches reality. For example, in the classroom, 90+% of the time students are supposed to be quiet, or to interact with the teacher (usually answering a question—in front of, but not with, the other students). Most of the social part of school is interacting with friends at recess and lunch, and sports and non-class activities.

Furthermore, the parts of school that are social are not necessarily good: for some people, they consist of being rejected or even bullied, and making them suffer that for years may lead to socially avoidant habits, anxiety, or other long-term issues.

As eloff suggests, sports and other activities are a good way to get good socialization. Since the activity is voluntary, all the kids can be expected to share at least one interest with your kid. Also, if your kid meets some people he likes, then what are called "play dates" (at young ages) or "hanging out" (at older ages) can lead to deep, long-term friendships.

I left high school at the end of tenth grade, but continued going to the math club and attending an after-school math contest class, and hanging around in the math department's common room with others who had a free period before that class. The school was happy to allow it because I was good at the contests, and it made the school look better to let me participate. I got about as much socialization from that as I did when actually attending school, and I was happy with that.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

But is the company threatening to fire you if you don't vote yes on 22? Are they asking you to prove that you voted yes?

That would be much easier to verify in that case. It seems more that the biden admin knows that any refutation of the content of the emails would backfire when they are proven to be true. In that case claiming ignorance is the correct nice.
...that would be wrong think.

That was exactly how I felt too. The examples given were laughable. I get that those are simple programs and it's easier to test them, but if you can't test the bigger/harder stuff easily, how can you make a claim as to which is better?
Dialing down the blast radius on your comment, imagine if homebuyers were required to pass the same sort of locally-tuned competency test on houses and real estate that new drivers must pass to get their driver’s license. No need to restructure the educational system.

Imagine a “renter’s/buyer’s” general ED course in high school, and requiring the passing of a local “buyer’s test” prior to signing. It would be prudent from an investment standpoint and a “Welcome to the neighborhood” for newcomers who have never lived in a flood plain, experienced a tornado, etc. or even owned a home.
> some of which like OMA-DM toolkits have sweeping permissions on your device.

Fortunately this seems to be going away.

For those not aware as to what you're talking about, this is the proprietary 'rootkit' providers like Sprint had to use to activate CDMA modems on their carriers on many of their devices that did not come with a CSIM. As it's doing a lot with the phone's modem, it needs tons of permissions on the device. Verizon Wireless and Google Fi also had similar apk's that were required to provision phones and update PRL (prority roaming list) information.

In the US all modern devices on Verizon are CDMA-less and new Sprint customers are usually activated on T-Mobile network (with fallback to GSM/WCDMA not CDMA).
I don't even see why the state should fund anything here. Healthcare is available for contract workers already (obamacare/covered CA). PTO is irrelevant for contract work, and not just rideshare/gig contracts (the whole point is that you can accept work when it is convenient for you).

The only potential area of "benefits" I can see that might need some rethinking for the gig workforce is sick leave (I don't want rideshare drivers continuing to work while sick just so that they can make rent, so it would be nice if they could accumulate some amount of sick leave proportionate to the number of hours they drive).
> this [this fast and loose style] interrupts more productive work and deters deep thinking

This doesn't mesh with how I feel toward Slack. Slack itself is the thing that's disrupting my productivity and deterring deeper thinking by pinging me all the time. When I open Slack, the vast majority of the time, I'm looking to express my point as clearly AND concisely as possible so I can get back to doing whatever it was, which is 99% of time more important. As a result I use (or don't use) grammatical conventions, capitalization, and emoji depending on the context of my message and what will allow me to get my entire message across the fastest, and hopefully correctly.

If I'm messaging the person I've pairing with all day, or if I'm coordinating with my team about who will pick up a story, I'm much less likely to give my message all the proper formatting. These people what I'm like and how I tend to communicate, and so I can rely on that prior knowledge to "cut corners" here and there.

I'm also much, much more likely to use emoji because I can communicate my intentions and my "intonation" nearly instantly, without having to sit there and worry about wordsmithing my whole message. Sure, sending "I'm done for the day" and "I'm done for the day <wave emoji>" mean the same thing, my hope is that by including the waving emoji it shows I'm not signing off out of frustration, but instead that I'm just at the end of my hours and it's time to log off. This is a bit of a contrived example, as I don't think hardly anyone would read the first message and think "they're mad", but I hope my argument is still clear.

That being said, if I'm message in a large public channel that perhaps has multiple teams or belongs to a team I don't normally interact with, I'll spend much more time wordsmithing and editing to make sure I'm following proper conventions - mostly for the sake of clarity.

The author does make some very salient points (think about how others could misinterpret your message, expand acronyms/use them sparingly, write to your audience, etc.), and as a whole I think erring on the side of more "professional" and "standardized" is always a safe bet, but I can't help but feel that they bought a little bit too much into the "Slack has replaced email" argument (not really his fault, that is how they like to market it). For me, the main benefit of Slack over email is the lowered barrier to entry to starting a conversation and the ability to keeping it flowing; part of achieving that is being okay with somwhat lowering the standards of communication.

I suspect this is an anti-fragile position, i.e. exposed to varying stressors on a company's purpose, companies that follow this principle will simply sharpen their purpose and objectives and get better at it.

It'll be interesting to see if this is a competitive advantage. Personally, I think it is. I would happily accept a PR from a guy who wants to kill me. He can't kill me or hurt me in a PR.

Personally, I'd also prefer to (metaphorically) drive right off the cliff at full pace with a bunch of people who also think it's the right way than go nowhere because none of us agree on where to go.

It is missing one crucial truth that dispels the thesis: The fact that a social network does not need to be owned by one entity for everyone on it to be able to interact with each other. See Federation[0], federated social networks like Mastodon[1], PeerTube[2], Pleroma: where you have an account on a Mastodon "instance" (computer), but you can talk to anyone speaking the same protocol, ActivityPub[3]. A Mastodon account can follow PeerTube accounts and Pleroma accounts. And no one controls all Mastodon servers, your Mastodon server is controlled by your server administrator.
The author does not seem to understand the internet fundamentally.

Facebook lays it out plainly: "Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what's going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them."

It's so vague as to never be controversial. However, their behavior in the details...the implementation, if you will.
You trusted them enough to buy the products, I'm not entirely sure what else you are looking for.

I'm not understanding how these products are not useful anymore for you. They still perform the same functions as before no?
It's still supported per Google.

If you can't trust a company when they tell you they will continue supporting a device you purchased then yes... you should go ahead and get rid of it and start all over.

I think it's ridiculous to expect anything else.
When I moved I arranged to live with some folks I knew through my online esports adventures in Umeå. At the time, I was seriously consider living there permanently and moving my business there. I really enjoyed the place but between family and personal goals it just wasn't destined to be a permanent move the way I had hoped.

Interestingly (to me at least), I had gigabit internet in Umeå and I believe it only cost around 40 USD/m at the time (2011-ish). I didn't get gigabit again until I moved to Las Vegas and I'm currently paying around 3x that amount.

EDIT - Actually I have one big complaint. Trying to learn the language was impossible because every time I would attempt it people would notice I'm not a native speaker and instantly switch to English as if they had been waiting for that moment their entire lives.
