The antebellum economy was largely agricultural. A family working ten acres of corn with hand- and mule-power did not in any sense benefit from the fact that other landowners had slaves. It would be more accurate to say that they were in competition with enslaved labor. One might as well ask American factory workers how much they've benefited from cheap overseas factory labor.

Upthread you claimed that such small farmers also used slaves. That may have happened occasionally, but the basic requirements of agriculture in a temperate climate (there is a limited time period during which particular tasks can possibly take place) would have made it rare.

You call McKinsey when you have a problem to be solved. And, you lose the opportunity to observe the contrapositive. There are many documented cases of: call McKinsey -> things get worse, but in most cases (personal opinion) the outcome would have been significantly more dire had McKinsey’s proffered solution not been implemented. It’s difficult in the public sector, but most contracts these days have kpi bonus/claw-back clauses.

Simply put, they are aware of their biases, they try and adjust contractually to align, they have smart people (because they can afford to be picky) who have a tremendous work ethic. Just don’t let them anywhere near Swiss Airways! [1]

Yes! I’ve had issues on and off for the last ten years. If I don’t sleep well then it’s quite easy to worry about the next night of sleep.
The analogy comes from aircraft surviving combat, as opposed to general aviation, although I'm not sure that's enough to overcome the flaw you've pointed out.

One thing I disagree on is the failure rate. Surely the failure rate of all businesses is skewed by restaurants and the self employed.

What if you were to instead plan on sleeping for 8 to 9 hours? Sleeping only 6 to 7 hours is suboptimal for most people. Spending 9 hours in bed and getting 8 hours total sleep would probably be a good target (for most people). I imagine the 3-4 hours of disrupted sleep would become more efficient and shorter if you didn't wake up in the middle from alarms and etc.

Also, as usual, don't listen to random folks on the internet.
As an obsessive rebaser, in practice I've found that rerere very rarely kicks in during a rebaser unless the conflict looks exactly the same across commit applications, which is rarely the case.
I feel it's the dreaming which makes me tired, I feel exhausted whenever I am able to remember my dreams.

I usually feel pretty good if I don't remember any dream after waking up(Assuming they never happened).

Now that I think more of it, I agree it might be my lack of sleep quality which makes me tired and maybe places/offsets the REM sleep at odd times so I am able to remember the dreams. My circadian rhythm is definitely disturbed as go to sleep around 3:30 to 4:00 AM.
Well it’s not surprising. Prison is basically a school for criminals on how to become even better at being criminals. Our Scandinavian politicians are almost solely focused on the number off how likely a person is to commit a crime after a prison sentence has been fulfilled, and our stats say that criminals become worse, so they shorten the prison sentence more and more.

The prison system is broken because hanging around with morally broken people is not good for anyone.

Let me point out that prison sentences for minor drug offenses are quite rare so we don’t have much of that particular problem.

That complains is from a Twitter user which seems unrelated to Roblox. He quote the IPO documents... which I don't think is a document usually used to complains about fees ;).

Roblox is free too, so you need to pay for the platform somewhere, which means it has to be part of the microtransactions. I expect to pay for Android and iOS while I buy the device, not during the subsequent multiple microtransactions, thus that platform fee is double dipping.

There are plenty of great ETFs. If you had a 20 year time frame, putting it all in a SP500 ETF is certainly not a bad option (though I would personally diversify to maybe 2-4 ETFs to get international and fixed-income exposure).

> Under the Biden presidency all this shit will still exist ... but it will stop mattering.

Why is that? Because Biden is truthful? Because he won't be tweeting 10 times a day? Because the media will (effectively) do the tweeting for him? Because the media will simply not challenge him, and ignore his critics?

All politicians lie, or perhaps to put it more charitably, they promote a very one-sided point of view. It's almost the definition of politics. The only reason anything will change under Biden is that many of the people with the biggest megaphones support him.
No, I'm not asking that.
Compare that to certain countries where posting a meme will get you thrown into jail, or have the lives of your family threatened.

About your guess on the Pijul hub: nest.pijul.com does something nicer than PRs, which is to attach changes independent from the context, to discussions.

See the following discussion, for example: https://nest.pijul.com/pijul/pijul/discussions/104

These two contributors (@cole-h and @lowenheim) are trying to add colours to the output of `pijul change`, and discuss changes, rewrite them, amend them, push them again. Certainly, some of these changes conflict with others. But that's totally ok, since you can pull them independently.

For example, when preparing release 1.0.0-alpha.9, I didn't pull the latest patch from that discussion into my main local channel, and I preferred to pull some of the older ones instead.
I did this because the latest one doesn't detect whether the standard output is a TTY. If I apply them to the main channel on the Nest, my current local channel will be in sync with it, even though I've worked on ten other features since then.

>You've been living in a cave for the last several years if you haven't watched everyone who questioned the narrative about the intelligence agencies and US global military empire smeared as Russian assets, from sitting Congresswomen

Is being a congresswomen supposed to be some sort of credential? All it means is you won a popularity contest. Keep in mind there are a few representatives that believe in qanon, so the bar is very low.

>Who decides what is fringe, you? The CIA? Apparently Youtube though that the video in question was "fringe". Who sets the standard for what information people are allowed to see and hear? For decades it has been the CIA.

Why is that question relevant? The initial claim was that espousing anti-establishment views will get you censored and/or receive retaliation, but my examples clearly show that's not the case.

At best, being anti-establishment is a necessary but not sufficient condition for retribution.

>A false and predictable assertion from someone who forms their opinions based on an echo chamber of children on reddit. Some of us don't want the rest of the media and the discourse to turn into the same.

I don't get it, do the threads I've linked not anti- "military industry", "crime financial complex", or "pretexts to war"? Reddit might be biased, but I fail to see how this matters in the context of this arguments.
That's what happens when you get a huge portion of the market and get close to a monopoly. You could ask many Steam user what Steam got that others platforms doesn't, and most will say that it's because everything is on there. We prefer to use a single product instead of multiples, thus you choose Steam not because it's superior in any ways, simply because it's the default choice.

If the odds of success are less than 10%, then it would seem to follow that the thoughts on success by single or several failure individuals would suffer from a similar bias as the survivors.

Relativity doesn't really come into it. Even at orbital altitudes, the difference due to dilation is miniscule. Places that need high quality time will use a local atomic clock disciplined by GPS, where GPS already factors in the dilation. This gives you very close to constant time across the earth's geoid. Variations due to temperature in your DC and many other factors will utterly swamp any time dilation differences in this context, and even without those the discipline would have no problem flattening it out.
IMO There's a better chance that they will fork it like they did with Chrome.
Great comment. Thank you for spending your time writing it.

A number of things occur to me when I run into articles like this.

1. "Conspiracy theory" is simply the study of illusion, which our society is replete with because..

2. Over-classification and a culture of secrecy by institutional actors who have an "us vs them" mentality who seem so surprised when..

3. People take offense to being talked to like children who "can't handle the truth" and are automatically classified as "one of the them or the enemy" from which the truth is to be withheld

4. People, not having authoritative sources of information to rely on, then speculate attempting to approximate, extrapolate, and backwards engineer the truth. Sure, they can get it wrong, and sometimes really wrong but really, what else would you expect?

5. Like it or not there is a bell curve, or distribution of intelligence in the population. People gravitate towards different levels of interpretation, and I often see arguments like "you can't argue with stupid" without acknowledging the perfectly rational impulse as defined above and that whatever level of interpretation they're using probably wasn't meant for them.

What is the old line, people get the government they deserve, they elect people that they like and/or agree with? Even here on HN most people only upvote comments they like or otherwise agree with. Its the same everywhere. Massive massive echo chambers on the left and right with propaganda being retweeted and shared to millions.

>We must bring the security to each individual endpoint.

Why? Why must we treat adults as children that we have been entrusted with, and that it is our responsibility to give them 'mental medicine'? What makes our thinking superior to others' that we need to lord over them in this way?

>Some will argue that we should shutdown the internet or censor it. But is that the world we want to live in? That would stifle economic growth and i do not believe it is compatible with the ideals of liberal democracies.

I believe that these ideals are bottom-up. We form governments that align with the ideals of the people, not the other way around. If the people out of choice or ignorance no longer care about the ideals of liberal democracy, who are we to force them onto others?
Try The Last Psychiatrist[1][2], particularly the claim that Narcissus didn't fall in love with himself, he fell in love with his reflection - the image of himself, i.e. his self-image. That is, narcissism is not "thinking you are superior" as casually described on the internet, but "obsessively thinking about how others see you, and your every action is about making yourself appear the way you want to be seen", particularly to the extent of not caring about other people and their lives and feelings beyond making sure they reflect the desired image back.

Now in light of that definition, consider Mother Theresa's scandals/criticism[3], such as Christopher Hitchens saying[3] "[Mother Teresa] was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction." [...] Hitchens said that "her intention was not to help people", and that she lied to donors about how their contributions were used. "It was by talking to her that I discovered, and she assured me, that she wasn't working to alleviate poverty", he said, "She was working to expand the number of Catholics. She said, 'I'm not a social worker. I don't do it for this reason. I do it for Christ. I do it for the church.'""

And you can see a definition of narciccism where she was more interested in her image as a Christian, than in the suffering of other humans. See this claim: "According to a paper by Canadian academics Serge Larivée, Geneviève Chénard and Carole Sénéchal, Teresa's clinics received millions of dollars in donations but lacked medical care, systematic diagnosis, necessary nutrition and sufficient analgesics for those in pain;[118] in the opinion of the three academics, "Mother Teresa believed the sick must suffer like Christ on the cross".[119] It was said that the additional money might have transformed the health of the city's poor by creating advanced palliative care facilities.[120][121]"

That is, she was more interested in the image of Catholicism, holiness, piousness, suffering adequately to uphold the image of Christ(liness), rather than putting that aside and treating people with the best available medicine, at the expense of peity, etc.

(You might not agree with these claims, but you can at least see "a definition of narcissism that could label Mother Theresa as narcissistic").

> That comes from the fact that they don't understand the data they are dealing with (as you said with dimensions). You cannot use the arithmetic mean on interest rates because it does not make sense to add them up.

If you're going down that route, which operations make sense and which don't boil down to the algebraic structure of the set of the possible values of the datatype. For example, you can't add dates but you can subtract dates, because dates have an affine structure, therefore the arithmetic mean of January 14 and October 13 is an operation that makes sense. Similarly with temperatures.

The thing is that it's sometimes tricky and unintuitive to figure out what you're allowed to do: ratios are a good example because you can add them, it just doesn't mean what most people expect it to mean.

I do agree that understanding your data goes a long way, but I believe making people more aware that tools other than "sum / n" exist is worthwhile, even though the article does have problems as I highlighted above.
thanks, sounds like backwards progress
This.

These outright falsehoods that people take for truths are not taken for truth in a vacuum. As cliché as this may sound, people want to believe these things. So they believe them.

I was reading somewhere that people tend to readily assimilate information conforming to their own world view, and have a tendency to block out information that does not conform to their world view. It's claimed that these tendencies pre-date the internet.

If that's true, the negative effects of virality were inevitable.

Very long article that buries the lede:

> We need a market ecosystem of moderation vendors who provide different kinds of value to different kinds of users. A moderation marketplace is good for platforms because they don’t want to be the arbiter of truth, they just want users to have a good experience

> It’s good for users because they’re not forced into anything; they can pick which web they want to dwell on. This may sound like a filter bubble, where ‘everyone has their own truth’, but moderation vendors will still need to maintain their reputation for being right

The author is overly optimistic in thinking that people who fall for blatant misinformation, will not fall for grossly biased or incompetent moderators. Anyone who believes Trump's election-was-stolen conspiracy theory, will also have blind faith in any moderator that Trump and his movement endorses, regardless of the moderator's reputation among mainstream sources.

You may say that doesn't matter because the vast majority of people will never tweak their settings and will simply use the platform's default moderator. Which is a good point, but once again, that brings us back to the status quo where people get upset about the "bias" shown by the platform and its anointed default moderator. I do like the idea of decoupling the platform corporation and the moderator, but it still raises questions about who gets to control the moderator organization.

Call me crazy but these misinformation campaigns have made one thing abundantly clear. Popular voting is inherently susceptible to actively-misinformed voters and there are no palatable solutions to this problem. https://outlookzen.com/2020/10/26/reasons-to-replace-the-pop...
