4chan handles this perfectly, but it comes with a general unpoliteness and freedom that most people don't like. However, those aspects of it are exactly what keeps the community fresh and constantly re-inventing itself, because you need cultural artifacts (memes, ways of interacting, etc) to be generated that oppose whatever the prevailing narrative is, and those are harder to be generated if everyone has to be polite all the time.

So the solution is fairly simple: remove upvotes so the conventionally-minded can't decide on what's being discussed, and don't moderate based on politeness, but on subject. 4chan has lots of moderation, but it's mostly focused around which board the discussion should go in, i.e. if you want to talk politics go to the politics board, don't do it in the video games one or your thread will be deleted. This is obviously a solution that doesn't work for most people, but that's the price you have to pay if you want actual independent-mindedness in a community.
Isn't that only possible if the relay is stupidly placed on the outside? All of the control should happen on the other side of the door, with the entry device simply feeding the input over.
Interesting -- there are more rows (incl removed rows) in yours, because the first step in TFA halves the exponent. I guess it behaves more like binary searching the list of numbers than binary searching the range of numbers, which should be more efficient when the distribution is so heavily skewed.
A very important part of the story is talk about the details leading up to the story. Try telling a fable or a small story first. Repeat that story to perfection and repeat it to others to see what they react to. Especially a story they have heard before. Comedians do this with a joke. Tell, retell, sharpen, retell.
But the reverse doesn't work for the suppliers (which it should if the world was organised as you say it is). Retailers who are theoretically in competition regularly band together to force suppliers to accept lower prices. Most recently this played out in both the UK and Australian dairy markets, where supermarket chains collaborated to force the dairy farm prices down. Dairy producers were unable to negotiate better contracts with different supermarkets paying more.

So the supermarkets could easily also collaborate to maintain minimum prices on retail goods, and pay their staff more, etc. It suits them to cry "but competition!", but the competition is optional.
This comes up often when talking about ECC.

> Let me be a devils attorney here. Understanding efficient sorting and how quicksort works is fundamental CS knowledge. I would say the idea is if you know how quicksort works, you should be able to write the code, no? If one is okay with writing a basic sort function but not quicksort - it could mean (1) that person does not know quicksort, (2) knows quicksort but not a good enough engineer to write code for it or (3) idealistic.

Companies are hiring software engineer not computer scientists. If someone wrote a sort algorithm in a normal job I would expect that not to be used and a library to be used. This is also knowledge that people who studied and aced their tests in Uni forget, because no one in their right mind writes a quicksort.

> Not practical enough. Do you expect, in the current scenario where there is a demand surplus, for candidates to happily sign up for a trial stint - that is for the "interview" to last one or three months? I personally won't be okay with it because it messes up with a persons stability, their ability to interview at multiple places.

People actually sign contracts like that on a daily basis. That is literally what you sign up for. Here is the actual process: CV screening -> Tech Test -> Phone Screening -> Interview -> Trial or "probation".

And the rest of it about people looking for jobs, well that's why companies should be selling/recruiting. The whole "but people won't do that" is clearly wrong since they already do and often jump at their first offer.

1) write a plan

2) execute the plan

The plan is likely hasty and will prove to be a failure when you execute on it. That's fine. The plan is little more than worthless, but the process of planning is invaluable. Once failure or any collision become clear repeat the process with a modified plan. Don't wait for clarity to strike.
I don't think this community is unique in the number of people who believe themselves to be independently minded. I can't recall the last time someone has told me they are a conformist compared to the number of times I've heard someone describe themselves as an independent out of the box thinker.

> I’m using a reputable, top-tier UK mobile provider

I'm in the UK too and have found that If you use any mobile internet provider, and have a browser configuration that dumps cookies etc on close, you will get a google captcha every - single - fucking - time... I just end up tunneling everything through sshuttle to one of my servers to save time, but these days you also get a bunch of websites blocking IP address blocks assigned to datacenters, so you can't win :(

As far as I can tell all mobile internet IP addresses are black listed for google captcha - I assume because they are frequently rotated between users.

I've found this to be the case for Three, EE, and O2 so far (been testing them all out to find the fastest because fixed line internet always sucks around here). I presume it's not the same on a smart phone mostly because people don't have such aggressive browser cache/cookie etc purging configured.

An underappreciated part of 4chan's genius is the bump mechanism, which means that if something gets a lot of replies it gets bumped to frontpage again and again - and of course the posts that get a lot of replies are exactly the ones that go against the grain of the forum, that people try to refute.
It has to get bad enough for users to turn away. And it arguably isn't, yet.

Walmart still do this sort of thing, apparently, or at least did as of quite recently.
Isn't it essentially a good measure then, just accidentally flipped around? Just flip it around and it's good.

A truly bad measure would be something like measuring the volume of coffee in my cup to determine the health of the economy. If I make up fake numbers, or pour some coffee out to change the measurements, that doesn't make my measurements any more insightful in regard to the economy.
Hence the suggestion of at least throw up a second level of HTTP basic auth from nginx in front.

> HA won't be accessible to you if you are somewhere where WireGuard is not possible

At that point, you also really want OTP (along with nginx HTTP basic auth), as if you're connecting from a device you don't control, it's not a bad plan to assume a keylogger may be operational.

Can you help me understand a situation where you have to get into your HA instance, and none of your own personal devices are able to get online?

EDIT:

> Does HA have an exceptionally bad security record?

Is a lack of regular security fixes needed evidence of good code, or due to lack of inspection / identification of vulnerabilities? HTTP basic auth is like a seat belt. It's a minor inconvenience that adds a layer of security. I haven't had a car crash, nor has my infra been exploited to the best of my knowledge. I still use both HTTP basic auth and seat belts every day.

I like that. That’s a great little phrase.
If its a big idea, break it down into smaller pieces and try to prototype smaller parts - eg before organizing 100m, see if your idea works on 20 people. Also, try to boil the big idea down to an actual example where it does/does-not work or apply.
Also - review the history/literature of your idea. This is key. You will always find historical analogues for just about any idea you can conceptualize. Someone will have had the same or similar idea before, and it will likely be in the historical record somewhere. Read the history, to go further, faster.
And if the big idea is worthwhile, share it with others and get their views - but try to use your ears to listen. Don't listen with your mouth (as so many do).
Recognize also that big ideas and results that come from them, often start - in science especially - from careful observations of small anomalies. Try to pay attention to see things that others miss - often these micro-observations are both the source of and can hold the solutions to something that turns out to be really significant.
Also, if the big idea is also a problem, you might benefit from using the tricks and techniques of creative thinking algorithms of De Bono - invert the idea, transpose with random phrases, etc.
And final comment - beware of "big ideas" that are just sophistry and obfuscation. You deal with those by using courtroom techniques to pull out the truth, and show that your counterparty is either just "talking his position", or perhaps outright lying.
With [a] -> b, when production of the input elements requires I/O and you don't want to read the entire list beforehand, you are forced to use lazy I/O, which is notoriously flaky and doesn't handle errors well.

Meanwhile, with a Collector, you can read the inputs with standard IO actions just fine, and feed them as they are produced.

> You don't want to start a startup to do something that everyone agrees is a good idea, or there will already be other companies doing it.

I must say I quite disagree with that statement. You definitely can run a successful startup without being novel. Other companies doing the same thing as you do is not necessarily something that will prevent you to be successful.
While this activity can be useful, I think it is simultaneously at the root of many of our social problems today.

You cannot ask this question about literally everything. Well, you can, but you'll end up questioning things that are universally accepted (Which way is North? Is gasoline flammable?). So naturally you dial it back, and you ask questions only about things that seem wrong, or that you particularly care about.

The corollary is that you are going to decide subjectively (and somewhat arbitrarily) that some things are not worth questioning. And just like that, everybody has made their own independent assumptions about the truth, and we can no longer have discussions about a common set of facts.

The cure is not just questioning facts "more". The cure is actually aligning as a society about what we accept as true so that we can converse about the other things. But, that means less independent thinking, paradoxically.
Not too many of those arguments have become invalid since the article was written. Still incredibly hard to make Hydrogen work economically. No real breakthrough in terms of how we store it, creating huge problems for any type of Hydrogen infrastructure.
And we know from the bible that π = 3, so in effect π = ∞.

Subreddits seem to somewhat solve this by spinning off once they hit that level of dilution (low effort content, memes, repeated questions). The 'serious' members will create a new subreddit (i.e. /r/movies > /r/TrueFilm) in order to shake off the casual members and return the discussion to its roots.

It's not perfect, but the subreddit design has definitely given Reddit more longevity since you can rotate your memberships and only join subreddits with higher effort content. Yes, the default subreddits are filled with the same memes every post, but just unsubscribe from those and curate your feed.

Not a solution for HN, however.
How do you think the creator of the site would feel reading this comment?
The presence of a crosswalk generally gives pedestrians the right of way. At traffic lights, there are normally the usual car traffic lights (red, yellow and green), and then "pedestrian traffic lights" that face the crosswalks. The pedestrian traffic lights usually light up white in the shape of a person when you have the right of way to cross the crosswalk, or they show a red hand if you do not have the right of way.

For crosswalks not at an intersection (typically when there is several hundred feet of road without an intersection for crosswalks), I believe pedestrians always have the right of way. Sometimes they have a button you can push that will activate yellow lights overhead so drivers know that you're crossing (primarily useful at night). I think you have the right of way regardless, but given how little attention many people pay, I tend to treat them like I'm jaywalking anyways.
I agree with everything you wrote here, when I wrote "relatively common", I meant relative to the USA. I didn't mean to imply this was the golden age of union membership in the UK at all.

The plan in the UK IIRC is to mix hydrogen (10-20% I think) into the existing mains gas supply to lower the carbon intensity somewhat, in the long term though we're trying to replace boilers with heat pumps for domestic housing.

He does seem to be pandering to his target audience - specifically those who will be just independent enough to consider failing at a startup, but not so independent that they'll question the more questionable elements of startup culture.

Startup culture really isn't the most natural home for independent and original minds. It's a good match for those who are just different enough to play the game on its own terms, but not so different they'll ask themselves why the game exists. Or whether better games are possible.

And IMO independence correlates far more closely with creativity. I find it more useful to wonder "What is this belief/tradition/culture going to look like five hundred years from now, and/or from the perspective of a disinterested alien visitor?" than to wonder if I'm being independent enough to get investor funding.
1) Now that I think about it, that information doesn't tell you that much about the odds. The odds can be calculated independently. Whether or not people win is kind of irrelevant to the odds. It has more to do with the number of people who play (so the odds of a winner in the group is low). I just found it interesting that the gov't was like "jeeze, nobody is winning, let's just shut it down. And the players (who never win) are like "no!".

2) Yeah, the 1 in 20 winner really jumped out at me. Open a new pack and someone scratches a winner and you know with 100% certainty the other 19 are losers. Or, you sell 15 out of a pack and all are losers (most buyers scratched right away) and of the remaining 5, you know there is 1 winning ticket.

> First, we've never seen a new form of money created in realtime, so it's hard to say how it's supposed to perform.

This hasn't changed with Bitcoin. BTC is money like a gold bar, beanie baby, or block of IPv4 addresses is money.

> However, nobody should expect something that will fairly soon have the same market cap as gold (about $10 trillion dollars) to not have a lot volatility as it grows. The tech darlings of today—Apple, Google, Twitter, etc. were also quite volatile as they grew.

Nobody describes the tech darlings as money, or as an alternative form of currency. They're equities you can invest in, and comes with the expected volatility.

> As you may know, the mantra in the bitcoin community is to HODL—hold on for dear life, not to time the market. For long term investors, the ups and downs don't matter.

It's nice that there's a backcronym that's been created from a typo. I still don't invest in money, I use money to invest in assets.

Sweden does have minimum wages, negotiated by their unions. Basically everyone is a part of them, so it makes sense for them to negotiate the wages instead of the government. Effectively there is no difference though.

I wasn't really thinking about single men destabilizing a society. Just an idea that mixing genes up more in children may be good for that society, and that anything that reduces this mixing may be unhelpful to a society.

I see both monogamy and preventing cosanguinity as examples of actions that could increase this mixing.
Workers pay for the medicare in Europe, it's a collective (and compulsory) insurance. You also have to work to qualify in most of the countries (unless you're disabled etc).

Yes, crosswalks are a marked place on a road where pedestrians are supposed to cross. They often have dedicated signaling to let you know when you have the right-of-way to cross. The signaling usually looks like this [1], though typically the other fingers on the hand aren't blacked out, so it's a full hand, rather than one showing a middle finger (I couldn't quickly find a better example).

Good. In theory everyone should be better off if we automate shitty jobs away, the only reason that isn't always so is because we've constructed our society to concentrate the results of this increased efficiency rather than distribute it.
Absolutely a clear signal that their belief is emotional. If you step on that toe just make it clear that you aren't questioning them at all, in fact, "you agree with them... you just wanted to know some sources to point to when those other nosey people who question our beliefs do so"... and diffuse the situation.

You really just want to make the other person feel "heard" and respected for their opinion, if that's the level at which they communicate.

Most people just want to feel some control over their lives, so telling them they're wrong and trying to reframe their reality might not ultimately be a positive, as long as their beliefs allow them to remain predictable and act within reason in their society.

What's their motivation? If it is to knowingly start and propagate lies, then you're obviously not going to get them to change. If it's to parrot falsities to feel control or look smart (what I believe PG is referring to as "conventional-minded"), figure out ways to subtly shift that without making it clear you're undermining them, if that's your motivation. It doesn't have to be all or nothing unless you're a cult leader or protecting a loved one from a con.

But then, hey, why is your reality the correct version of reality?
From ~14 to 23, I volunteer moderated some gaming forums (~300k+ user size).

By and large, it wasn't terrible. Most people are nice and some have bad days.

What it did convince me of was the immense value of (a) down-featuring new users & (b) temp-banning.

Most of the trouble stemmed from either new users (by definition, uncultured) or a small subset of toxic users.

Because ultimately, communities are like biological systems, with far too many processes and independent entities going on to be controlled. In environments like that, toxic behavior can be cancerous by convincing others it's acceptable. And by the time you've found the source, multiple people are already acting like that too. Hate breeds hate.

Burn out is real though, mostly because it's a never ending job, and you tend to see a stream of people at their worst.

So thanks, dang et al. I appreciate you on the job, and I appreciate you more staying on the job.

> often there is no net neutrality

Hold up, what does this mean, even? I thought "net neutrality" meant classifying ISPs in such a way that they are regulated by the FCC instead of the FTC. Obviously this is an American framing. How does that map to other countries?

Also, I was assured by users on this website and many others that if the ISPs were moved to be regulated by the FTC by evil Ajit Pai the internet as we know it would end. Those actions were taken by the administration three years ago, the media fell silent, and the internet is largely unchanged.

So what do you mean, in an international context, by net neutrality?
When it's appropriate to do so, and it's information that can be verified you can say, "Where did you get your information/Where did you learn that?" which may be slightly less confrontational.

If it's just an opinion, well, you might ask "how did you arrive at that conclusion?" or you might smile and say, "Oh,
yeah?"
