> Is it selection bias that commenters on the internet tend to be more depressed/lonely?

Most of what you read on the Internet is written by a small percentage of people (https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/9rvroo/most...). This was previously discussed on HN as (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18881827) and (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25600274). The clicks and likes they receive also provide positive feedback, can be addictive, and contribute to spending more time online. It's also well established that social networks can contribute to unhappiness.

> Has the demography gone down in age which results in lot of shitty behaviour like witch hunts and trending non-issue outrage? Young generation seems to like these and they especially love twitch from what I have seen. Maybe an impact of that?

Witch hunts and moral panics are part of the human condition. The main difference is the internet makes it much easier to start a witch hunt or moral panic and lowers the transaction costs of participating. Modern moral panics are started by a tweet or post - it used to require authoring a book (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_ritual_abuse) or months/years of press coverage. It's also much more likely for controversial content to be shared (https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/17/the-toxoplasma-of-rage...). Your friend or relative on Facebook who shares click bait wouldn't have bothered to do so before the internet.

Another factor is that the woke don't believe in debate (https://newdiscourses.com/2020/07/woke-wont-debate-you-heres...). They feel that the deck is rigged against them, debating reinforces the current oppressive system, that all disagreement is illegitimate, and that anyone with power who isn't dismantling the current system is evil.

> What do you think is the biggest reason for the current condition?

I think the biggest reason is that the internet has made it much easier for people to publicize their views. People have always been this awful; you just weren't exposed to their views.
You know what sucks? Governments having control of money. Governments will suck you dry of your last cent if they have the slightest reason, regardless of your need to have a bed under a roof and having something to eat. Don't let governments control all money. Even if this was true, it's worth it.

And I don't believe it's true. Are you telling me most Bitcoin miners are paying for mining Bitcoin? I really would like to meet these miners. If a miner wants to be profitable they must use waste electricity - any other electricity, industrial or not, is several multiples too expensive. And I think it's better if waste electricity is used for Bitcoin instead of being dumped.

(I guess the downvoters never had a government take all their money because of unpaid parking tickets?)

It references the show that HBO's Euphoria is based on/developed from, an Israeli show from 2012.

This is a problem though, since there are a lot of shows that share the same name. Sometimes they're related, sometimes not.
I think Greenwald uses a lot of snark, and I wish he would restrain himself a bit because I think he turns a lot of people off with that approach. That said, he has a level of authenticity and honesty about his biases that is sorely lacking in many journalists these days. A lot of reporters feel as passionate about the subjects they cover as he does, but they aren't forthright about it.

Regarding journalistic value, his pieces are always loaded with links and references. I like reading his articles because I can easily read the stuff he is referencing to see if I interpret them the same way, and try to see whether I see things differently.

That "skeptic test" reads to me like "Goal Post Moving: The Game". Your list of achievements variable N is unbound, your time window is floating (2 years, no wait 5 years now), you leave it to the interlocutor to define "some falsifiable prediction of 50% chance of happening". This test is just statistics and bad statistics at that without well defined judgment criteria. Is this an intentionally sarcastic joke of a meta-commentary on the state of ML today? Because it is almost funny.
> Also get your tests done regularly. Blood test, etc. are super important and can detect issues early on.

In the US do you get some kind of yearly health checkup even if you're healthy with your blood tested and so on?

How come the NHS doesn't do this in the UK, I wonder? If I went to my NHS doctor and said I felt fine but asked for a general health-check and blood test they'd tell me to GTFO. Are we missing out on something that we should be getting?
Another question, I don't see any mention of security. You are in complete control of our users/profiles and their login credentials and there is zero mention of how secure that data is.

I think that you definitely are. First, keep in mind that you can manage these existing suppliers and send quote requests from within Jiga to external suppliers as well (obviously no fees involved). Second, when you need to quote fast and get parts easily, it could be very useful. Companies who have relationships with hundreds of suppliers are buying parts from Jiga suppliers because of service, speed and comparison capabilities, which could definitely beat their existing suppliers.

Anything the UN says is unenforceable if it does not come from the member states themselves.

My point was not to make UN the policeman, but to get countries to agree to change the founding principles of UN (which is exactly the sovereignity you mention). The cost involved should be big enough to discourage everyone and their uncle to claim a new state, obligations of signing all the UN resolutions and declarations should be present. Basically, I think it would discourage many smart people from wanting to separate in the first place: eg. if Catalonia decided to secede, they'd have to be willing to accept Barcelona to secede as well, and suddenly that is not as tempting economically.

FWIW, I am a Serbian myself, and the Serbian people have been at both ends of the bargain: they've stopped from seceding from Croatian and Bosnian territories for UN border reasons, but Kosovars are also not fully separated from Serbia because of UN ruled (though de facto both Bosnian Serbs and Kosovars have separate "states"). I am convinced that if such framework existed prior to 90s, we'd see much fewer wars (if any), since nationalists wouldn't have a way to rise to power. I don't even think we'd see much splitting up of Yugoslavia even, or at least not in any meaningful sense (maybe all states would have joined EU as independent states at the same time to make it EUgoslavia :).

I haven't worked this out in detail, and I am sure there's a bit of psychology to deal with too (people do need a bit of us vs them, which we are trying to substitute with sports), but I am sure that if we had a bunch of smart people on finding a way to make seccesion fair, we'd at least get a reduction of violent conflicts.
Met a few of those ... :)
If I understand correctly, Grover's Algorithm is a brute-force guesser, which in quantum works much better than in classical. Grover's Algorithm is provably asymtotically optimal for brute-force quantum attacks. Which is great... for that class of attack.

Now, you correctly point out that there are no new classical attacks on AES. So what this would have to be (if true) is a new class of attack that has some quantum-only step, but is different from a Grover-style black-box-output-guessing attack.

As you said, that's if it's true...
But what if the subject deserves snark and derision? I don't like to 'both sides' it and claim neutrality/impartiality when one side is wrong, or "more wronger" than the other. I didn't find anything atrocious or objectionable in the article myself, but I'm probably an oddity. 25+ years of online discourse has jaded me. :)
Bad practices increase cash-on-hand at the expense of long-term outlook. That cash-on-hand can be funnelled into more bad practices.

It's kind of like a wooden building burning down: something that was previously in stable, long-term equilibrium state (no fire, no energy release, serving a useful purpose) switches suddenly to a runaway reaction (exponentially accelerating, pulling in more and more reactants from the environment, serving no useful purpose.)

A bit morbid I know, but I've been thinking I would like my blog to outlive me. I have my blog on blogger.com, and while I've been tempted to switch to something more modern and fun in a container on a VPS, I've resisted, because I think blogger.com is not going away in my lifetime. A VPS and a personal domain on the other hand is going to get shutdown when someday I die and my credit card gets closed. At this stage Github Pages is probably also as likely to stick around as Blogger though.
Definitely see the need for this but its not that clear to me how it differs from eg FusionAuth which is positioned as an "Auth" solution but actually does everything(?) you call "user management"

Not necessarily criticism, just my impression after a quick glance.
As Greenwald points out, these journalists work at major outlets and have huge followings which they can use - and have used - to shut down speech.

Cancel culture is real and we must not allow it to be tolerated. I've been told that I'm "problematic" and should reconsider blogging... because I recommended a $40 pair of hair shears.

Greenwald is being a bit melodramatic, but his substance isn't wrong. A reporter lied and attempted to slam a public figure - and if it wasn't for that conversation being widely heard she likely would of seriously harmed his reputation with her lie.
Because your comment, while clearly a joke (that I did enjoy), somewhat insinuated that postmodernism sort of invented the idea of doubting sources and looking for their biases, or at least that's how I perceived it.

I think doubting sources based on their expected motivations and biases is a part of human rationality since time immemorial, and that postmodernism simply applied this way of thinking to some of the areas where it was traditionally not applied, like science and literary analysis.
If you take John Brennan at his word, yes, it is coming. Many powerful Democrat lawmakers are working toward allowing law enforcement (FBI, etc) to have the same tools against "domestic terror" as they do again foreign terror. Greenwald himself did a great write up about it:

>there is no reason you shouldn't still be a Free Speech absolutist (I still am) so long as you don't fall for the disinformation that Free Speech means freedom from social consequences.

That's your definition of free speech and censorship. Others use those terms in a more broad sense. But even if you don't like that they do that, you should invoke the principle of charity and actually argue the point that is being made ... Namely, malevolent self-serving actors, sometimes represented by major journalistic institutions, are whipping up the social media mob, during the time of mass hysteria, to destroy the lives of political and cultural opponents, as well as anyone that gets caught up in that drag net.

Is that a problem? Are we OK with that? Do we have permission from you to talk about this as a problem?

The article in question demonstrates examples of this.

"Just take a second to ponder how infantile and despotic, in equal parts, all of this is. This NYT reporter used her platform to virtually jump out of her desk to run to the teacher and exclaim: he used the r word! This is what she tried for months to accomplish: to catch people in private communications using words that are prohibited or ideas that are banned to tell on them to the public"

We know why she did that and what her aims were. Is that OK for a NY Times reporter to do? Is that something to highlight as an issue? Or are you still stuck arguing semantics and definitions of words while missing the entire point.
Even if it's a lie, it isn't a "Big Lie", which has a specific meaning, so the author is either incompetent (not likely - she has a BA in History from USC) or deceptive.

That being said, Rebekah's arrest history (no mention of convictions?) was relevant to the raid story, and I don't recall seeing that mentioned at the time.
... assuming I never work on another project again, switch jobs, or fail to get around to evaluating your tool during the two weeks.

I've exhausted enough 2-week trials to know.

And at the same time, I'm hesitant to start them, since once they're gone, they're gone. You want minimal friction. Two clicks, and I'm using your tool. Yes, lower friction decreases your conversion rate, but that's because more people who aren't sure will try your tool.

For the record, that word has never been used to describe Rust's goals by those who work on it. The slogan of the language is "empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software."

And for what it's worth, I think the people working on Rust are empathetic and it shows in their work. For example, he error messages given by the compiler try to hand hold you gently when you're learning the language.
Signal propagation time seems like it should be an issue at 100Ghz. Light only travels about 3mm per clock cycle at that speed. A circuit built at that speed will need absurdly deep pipelines to do much more than single bit adding.

> I feel like most things come down to people wanting to have enough resources to live happily. If they just had enough money, most of their problems would be solved.

So how do we get people the money they need to be happy? Is making young people go 50k+ in debt to enter the workforce, while creating conditions that cause rent and housing prices to skyrocket the way to do it?
A country being charged less because they paid for R&D makes perfect sense to me if pricing is being done at an at-cost basis.

Also, put another way, those EU countries are probably getting charged less than the average costs to actually make the doses themselves. That's fine.

Director is a rank with very different meaning in the industry; I know people with this rank at Adobe, Amazon, Microsoft, in banks, FMCG and there is attempt from some companies to catch up with the naming of various positions versus the rest of the market, but it's gone wrong in some places, director being a pretty low position of what used to be mid level managers or worse. A "sales director" is many times just an inflated title to senior sales people with no budget to administer and no organization to manage, maybe leading a team of 2-3 junior sales guys. I know a bunch of IT directors that failed the interviews as entry level managers, so it is impossible to me to figure out what the real level of a rank is when the name is Director.
"Equivalent to the carbon footprint of 694,893 VISA transactions" That's actually way less than I thought. How much energy does the VISA network expend? Aren't their trillions of transactions per year?
I believe it's mostly an unsetting bitter feeling. Underrepresented and marginalized people are fighting back structural society norms, the internet is the new medium[1], and social media resembles a lot the `Cercle social`[2].

Should we "check our priors at the door", though? When neutrinos were "observed" to travel faster than light, the most appropriate conclusion wasn't "well I guess we were fundamentally wrong about just about everything we've found in the last century", but was probably something like "okay, but can I take a closer look at your data". With priors left aside, the foundations of physics are questioned. I think the same holds for psi: if you abandon your priors and just make conclusions from which way some data swings, there is something very different about the universe than what has previously been attested to.

I think Scott's analysis of "my priors against this are so strong that evidence in support of it looks more like evidence against the validity of the methodology" broadly matches with mine.

Forgive me if I am misreading you, here.
The article about the 18 apps says that the ads were running in the background.

A Forbes article on the same incident also reports that data was exfiltrated from the infected devices:

Yeah, and Amazon HR might be forced to create newer, higher rungs just for alv (and quite possibly a few others like James Hamilton and Eric Brandwine).

The "self-demotion" is real though, especially since, according to the (much disputed) book, The Everything Store, alv declined Bezos' offer to lead AWS, and the job then of course was Andy Jassy's (who took over from Colin Bryar) which laid the foundation for him to eventually become the CEO-elect of one of the most enduring companies of all time.

I mean, in an alternate universe, alv is the CEO-elect :) Imagine the scenes!

No, I'm sticking up for the idea that people's anecdotal experiences are valid, within their epistemological/cognitive limits, and not simply "false".

That doesn't depend on whether or not someone got banned.

That user unfortunately resorted to some behaviors that looked like antagonizing another user at the personal level.

His interpretations of some of his experiences are off the mark.

E.g. how some coworker hired interns in order to sexually victimize them is clearly not an example of women getting some sort of easy advancement or free pass. That the events happened is plausibly true; there is no basis for denying the raw facts of the anecdote. It's just not a relevant anecdote, really.
Kudos to you and to your manager. I feel like we all kind of "stutter" in our career... "You are smart as hell. Don't let it define you."
