> is maybe a bug not a feature.

Once you start thinking of safety as a feature you've ruined your ability to think responsibly about anything else. A reset is a safety mechanism. You shouldn't need it, but only a sociopath would try to get rid of it.

Almost all of the software we write is now affecting people's lives. That your bug may eat someone's term paper has been a problem for decades, and nobody ever internalizes how that affects that person's life. The avalanche of cause and effect may never settle down. Now we can get people fired. Ostracized. We are trying to take the power but not the responsibility, and it's bullshit. No, hypocritical bullshit, because we spend a lot of time here complaining about others doing the same thing.
As part of a quality control team, I personally went through over 1.2 million lines of working code (i.e. not including comments) over the span of about 8 months, M-F, 9am-5pm.

So, yeah - this number is bunk.

I think most likely some men are 'born gay' (whether through genetics or developmental changes in the womb etc.) while there are also men out there who are socialized to be gay - and that is ok too. But certain parts of society finds the later a lot more scary (when really its not a big deal).

On an aside, I have heard 'straight' men in prisons can have intimate relationships with other men (its not just brutal gang rapes). I can't cite a reference here though.

"Right" and "wrong" are dependent upon the system and how it rewards you.I would agree that most prosecutors what to serve justice for malfeasance that has been committed. That's different than whether a case is the "right" or "wrong" one to take.

If a case seems unclear, and you could spend years working on a conviction that will ultimately fall through, that hurts your ability to do justice for more readily winnable cases. You have to spend the time building a case, do all the paperwork, go to trial, etc. That's opportunity cost. So spending that on a case you have 10% chance of winning just isn't a good use of time. Add that to the fact that conviction rate is a metric used to quantify skill, you're rewarded for serving justice successfully. And that then dictates how much money you can get which can help fund enforcing justice.

I believe you're looking at the moral right/wrong, and I don't believe that is the same right/wrong being discussed in terms of how lawyers often choose cases. At the end of the day, lawyers need work and they get that mostly through word of mouth and reputation. You don't really get either of those when you lose cases.
I can only imagine that while you must have been ready for an onslaught of criticism that you would have ended up with such a staggering workload so many years later. Literally unimaginable to me.
One of the best Swedish journalists I know is not on Twitter. I found it annoying at first as I wanted to follow him, interact with him and so on. But I now think it adds a lot to his credibility. It seems however quite rare. Every journalist seems to build a personal brand and gather a following that follows them to wherever they write.

In the same vein, I really appreciate The Economist for it's unsigned articles. Basically, I trust journalism more when the journalist does not put themselves between me and the subject of their writings.

I don't think it is entirely genetic. There are other factors like development within the mother's body, levels of hormones / chemicals, and so on which could contribute to a different sexuality later on.

This doesn't mean you can change it, and messing with chemical levels in the hope of finding a configuration which leads to "normality" would be very unethical in my eyes.

No. She said she knows of many cases where men made the exact same horizontal moves in her organization. She said she HAS data. I am simply asking her to present it. Your attitude here is one that is too quick to judge.

>We want authors show up on HN to discuss their writings. The choice between having that vs. having trolls who personally attack them is not a difficult one.

Except I'm not trolling. I am presenting a legitimate view point that is not a personal attack. Her case is very abnormal and I am addressing the abnormality, which is very very reasonable.

You don't hear of many cases where a horizontal shift like this is possible. So it is not an attack. It don't know her personally and I have no reason to attack her. Your statement is categorically incorrect.

I also think your dismissing the intelligence and judgement of your users. This post had a quite high number of upvotes and users of HN are not your classic reddit mob.

The votes are evidence that users of this site don't share your opinion so you used your own biased view points to override my view point and dismissed the majority who agreed with me. Let's be real the people who flagged me are just a vocal minority.

You are moderating based off of your own personal biases and I wish you would just moderate the flame war instead of censoring the topic.

I'm using another account here which you can ban as well (I'll just get another one). I'll be more mindful to follow your guidelines in the future including the arbitrary guideline you made up here on the fly to support your personal biases. I like this site but a highly disagree with your moderation practices.
> In the end, when Netflix went down where did the mistake come from? A manager or an architecture decision? Probably it was both.

In that particular case it was an engineer making a mistake, but my point was that it wasn't anywhere close to a fatal mistake.

But more importantly, when a team had repeated technical failures, it was usually the manager who suffered the consequences. Especially if their failures were causing problems with other teams.

The manager had the higher risk job because they were blamed for their team's failures. Therefore they had to be compensated to account for that risk to their job.

It's the same reason CEOs get huge golden parachutes. Because their job is constantly at risk for not only their decisions but the decisions of everyone below them. So they get compensated for that risk.

Seniority to some degree is about enabling others and having the overview. The big problems are rarely the precise code being written (it /can/ be the case when working on a specific algorithm or something) but large parts are about architecture, code review, ... and understanding the business needs aside from core technical skills. If a senior shares their experience with 5 juniors it is (especially long-term) better spent than them hacking something alone.

You're allowing a lack of evidence to be evidence of the negative.

The incredible vastness of the universe means it's incredibly unlikely we're the only intelligent civilization in existence. But the incredible size of the universe also means that any radio signals being emitted by said civilizations haven't reached us, and even if they did, they'd be so weak they'd just be background noise.

A picture with 1 billion galaxies...each with millions of stars...each potentially with any number of planets...it just seems really unlikely that we're the only ones out there.

But even if we somehow proved another civilization exists, outside of the knowledge that we're not alone, it'd be meaningless. They're way too far away to observe, let alone communicate with.
The top PHP entry, "php-ngx-pgsql", uses a quite obscure way of running PHP and Nginx:

> The NLFSA doesn't necessarily want speech regulated, or regulated by the government, or by corporations. They may not have any particular solution in mind (though some might think they have one). The NLFSA sees a problem without necessarily seeing a solution.

It seems like the appropriate posture is being positively in favor of the best thing we've got (free speech) while acknowledging the limitations. Which is a long way of saying the appropriate posture is that of a free speech proponent. After all, free speech proponents aren't arguing that free speech completely solves the speech quality problem--only that the best we can do is allow debate to select for the best speech.

Note also that the soft restrictions and political tests we've put in place in our epistemological institutions have predictably degraded public trust in those institutions and the void is being exploited by different and often worse authoritarians.

Even if, like me, you think conservative ideas are generally worse than liberal ideas, you should want conservatives to rally around the best, most respectable conservative ideas rather around the worst ideas. They aren't going to convert from bad conservative ideas to good liberal ideas by way of coercion or suppression; rather, the best hope is for conservatives to see their best, most respectable ideas face off against the best, most respectable liberal ideas so that if/when they lose, as many as possible feel that their side's ideas were given a fair shot and they perhaps leave with a changed opinion (even if only incrementally).

Instead, we're building a system that regards all right-wing positions (and a fair number of moderate liberal positions) as uniformly "far-right" such that there are fewer incentives to hold a respectable position and instead we get dishonest extremists on either side. It shouldn't surprise us that abandoning objectivity and neutrality for relativism and activism in our epistemological institutions would degrade trust and result in a rise of extremists; this is not only intuitive, but it's a historical pattern.
You are correct in that, but I don't know that there is much difference any more. Tweets are in TV news/News websites all the time. The fact that it is a pretty well known journalist will likely hold much more weight with some folks.
After seeing this happen over and over again, I wonder if status pages should even be run by their own parent companies.
Haha exactly :) my own definition of a user of an operating system is someone who know what operating system they are using. So a playstation and a Netflix user would not count as freebsd users (they are not using FreeBSD, they are using a playstation). Netflix engineers are the FreeBSD users. Pfsense and freenas users certainly counts ;)

> A perfect refrigerator will use vastly more than 1J to remove 1J from a 4.2K device.

While your actual point is true, your example is too loosely specified - the energy used by a perfect (or even imperfect) refrigerator depends on the temperature of the environment it's dumping the heat into. In the extreme (and also engineering-wise preferred) case, with a heat sink at cosmic microwave background temperatures of ~2.7K, a perfect refrigerator (rather, heat exchanger) would actually gain energy. (Of course, since the literally-glowing-hot sun takes up some portion of the sky, actually getting a <4.2K environment would likely require siting your computer in the Oort Cloud, if not outside the galaxy entirely, hence why your actual point is true.)

Absolutely.

Meanwhile, we live in a world where VPNs are sold to the casual user while critical systems are left on internet facing networks.

I've never understood why, if these critical systems need remote access, it's not all done through a VPN of some sort. VPNs are not infallible, but it significantly increases the bar for entry from script kiddie to nation state real quick (depending on choice of crypt), while choosing a well supported implementation ensures long term bug fixes and security patches.
We should flip the responsibility. How does the company providing the software prove it is not flawed.
Yeah - that’s not a crazy conclusion.

I had 2 Apple 27" Thunderbolt displays that I've had since 2013.

Over the holidays I replace it wit a Samsung CRG9 49" 32:9 curved display.

A single big curved display is much better than 2 flat monitors. Without the break in the middle is much easier to position windows in the middle of your field of view. I have my main window in the middle and my reference windows on the sides.

I believe the biggest problem is virality. What you see is determined by what captured the attention of other users, or what algorithms think would keep you on the site so they can serve more ads to your hungry eyeballs. As it turns out, divisive and emotional content (whether it's politics, pop culture flame wars or YouTube drama) is great at capturing that attention.

It's a problem I've recognized, and we're currently working on a new kind of social network that aims to promote better discussion on the internet. One of our methods is removing the concept of "virality" and having the discussions happen in small groups instead of on public forums. After all, your group chats with friends still have good discussions, that's what we're trying to replicate on a wider scale. We don't yet have a website to show unfortunately :(
What's hilarious to me re: Clubhouse getting this negative attention is that platform trends towards the very worst type of insular SV mutual pleasuring.

If groundbreaking free-speech is going on in there to drive the conversation forward, I haven't seen much of it yet.

I listened to about 40 minutes of a chat on SolarWinds from a lot heavy hitter defense<>tech people start with:

-> how do we feel about this level of compromise v. encryption access laws (not totally related but yeah good topic, let's go there!). This was asked by a pub policy devsecops rep at GitHub, so she knew her stuff.

answered first with (and I swear this is a close quote from a thought leader, startup founder and ex-Marine named "Marvin")

-> freedom of expression, leads to freedom of thought, which leads to freedom of innovation, which leads to freedom of minds, which leads to...

leading to:

-> clubhouse uses NLP, so of course if it's free you are the producing

and end somewhere far, far away from anything meaningful on SolarWinds while producing the worst type of verbal fluff from people who generally are there to self-promote their startups. I raised my hand in there to see if I could get in a question re: "hey that engineer asked a solid question 20 mins ago, I'm not sure it was ever answered." Moderators then disabled hand-raising.

Half of Clubhouse is SV founders practicing their pitches on each other, and the other half is entertaining discussions of the somewhat raunchy type, i.e. "Gain your empowerment, no more casual sex!" Additionally, although this is my take away from a casual scroll of profile pictures, clubhouse has a massive diversity footprint. Finally, we have minority techies congregating in numbers, talking about their stuff!

If tech reporters are really spending their time digging for the next GRU disinfo campaign there, then NYT needs its $70k a year back from those reporter salaries and should sub to FEYE's campaign reports instead.
Overruling the Visible: The Emperor’s New Gender
Depends on how much of that wealth is captured and how it is distributed after it is captured.

If a huge amount of wealth is created and 90% of it is captured and the vast majority of it is distributed in share price/dividends then increasing inequality can really fuck up society even while GPD rises.
That's not much of an argument. A preference for long legs vs. large breasts is just that: a preference. What if Long Legs is a meth addict and Large Breasts is the mother of your children? Or likewise. At that point it sounds pathological.

That's why I don't like the "gay gene" argument and never did, not even when it was the hot new thing among assimilationists. It's fundamentally flawed, and not only because it suggests an easy solution to the problem by just making sure no more gay people get born. It grounds the discussion in a "we can't help it" attitude that's ultimately self-defeating because it's always vulnerable to the response that "of course you can help it, even alcoholics have AA, do you have no control over yourself whatsoever?" and there's just no good answer to that.

The form of the argument cedes to the hostile interlocutor that an excuse is required for why we are like we are. I've never understood why anyone thinks that is a good idea.

None of these services are useful apparently, because I manage them myself instead of relying on something like sandstorm/freedombox.
At the companies that I've seen that have a good IC track, including some of the FAANGs, the staff+ level engineers are measured by impact. There are many ways to have that impact, and that could be by architecture, design and influencing technical strategy, or it could be by churning out tons of code, or it could be by highly specialized domain knowledge. It's fairly normal for staff-level engineers to spend a lot of time in meetings, but there are also staff engineers who spend most of their time coding.

Maybe I don't understand your argument. If vegetarian weaning isn't a problem, then what do you mean by:

> I am inclined to believe that the problem is not that pediatricians are not adequately informed, but that parents are adhering to information from inadequate sources.

The way I heard that was, "the problem is that parents aren't listening to pediatricians when they tell them less-common weaning methods are a bad idea." Did you mean something else?

I'm thinking about that in conjunction with your original statement, which to me sounds more directly like it's making that argument:

> Yes, the problem is not dairy vs. non-dairy, it is with feeding kids who have been weaned a vegetarian or vegan diet in general.

Is that statement not saying that vegetarian weaning is a problem?

But if we're arguing past each other, I apologize. I guess I'm not sure what your claim is. Do you mean that pediatricians are informed, and they are giving adequate advice about how to do successful vegetarian weaning, and they aren't hostile to the practice, but that parents are just ignoring it anyway and trying to do weaning on their own? But this paper still spends zero time trying to talk about how to convince the public to trust their pediatricians, so that also doesn't seem like it's the conclusion that the author is going for.

Again, apologies for misinterpreting you, but if that's not what you're trying to say then I'm missing what you are trying to say.

This is a good This American Life podcast about that issue:
