That certainly seems like a reasonable thing to me, now that we know that to be an issue. Why wouldn't you design a system that prevents it from taking off in conditions that are known to cause a crash?

Obviously they may not know these conditions ahead of time. But preventing user error for known problems seems obvious.
I disagree on this regard. According to the Twitter thread (which seems to be our only primary source here), PJ apologized last fall, saying "You were right about the union." [1]

As for the language of the apology, you propose a very subjective reading of the text. "Taking up space" seems valid here as it concerns the man in the middle of this event. Instead of being "forbidden from dissent", it seems he already knew he was on the wrong side months ago and is simply attempting to focus the conversation towards more important things than himself.

Probably not exactly the presentation you mention but Freakonomics explored the issue of advertising effectiveness in a 2 part series. Part 2 is about online ads. The picture it paints is pretty bad.

https://freakonomics.com/podcast/advertising-part-2/

One thing I was hoping they'd explore was whether any of the recent companies that participated in the fb ad boycott realized afterward that the advertising dollars were not really working for them.
Those are unrealized paper losses. The final accounting can end up being a loss of anything in the range of $0-500M depending on how it all shakes out (whether Revlon goes bankrupt, whether Citibank sells the loans on at their reduced valuations now or holds on, and how the appeal goes).

I also grew up in metro Atlanta and studied at Georgia Tech and was about to post essentially the same comment. All of my friends interested in tech at GT went to the Bay Area as soon as they could once they graduated. The school itself attracts a lot of talent from all around the world, but very few people seem to stay in Atlanta once they graduate.

The city recently made a big push to attract talent in the entertainment and film industries, which appears to have worked pretty well. It would be nice to see them do something similar for tech. It's kind of sad that the state subsidized my education (and many others) but does not have the incentives in place to keep people once they graduate.

Also, the local salaries are a big part of the reason people leave. The low cost of living does not make a difference when you can save more per year in the Bay Area than an entirely yearly salary in Atlanta.
Yeah I think like anything there's a spectrum of how people perceive and react to tactile things. I'm really into all the things that feel nice in your hand. I love the weighted shift knob on my manual transmission car, my topre keyboard, the click-feel of my Intellimouse, the mechanical feeling of my various pocketknives, any heavy well-built hand tools, twiddling a nice wood pencil while I think. I'll often favor buying products that have really nice knobs or switches–I just bought a microwave that has a nice knob for setting the time instead of a flat button panel.

> If I met someone that was either of those things, I would lose some respect for that person. Apologies for the "cancellation".

To me, this is the entire problem with the current discourse situation in the US. Everyone keeps focusing on people instead of arguments. Everything is about labeling people and what they are, so they can dismiss or embrace them, and people are rarely that one-sided.

Even here, I don't see people arguing for or against unions, everyone is arguing about whether Vogt is a "good person" or not, and ultimately that doesn't matter. If he's against unions, I disagree, I like unions. That doesn't mean he's a terrible person, presumably he has other opinions that form his personality, and I can hopefully evaluate those on their merits.

I prefer chiclet style keyboards when I am coding, and mechanical keyboards when I am writing. The clack of the keys acts as a sort of white noise to shut out the world and allows me to think about what I'm writing more clearly.

When I was able to write in coffee shops and the like, I didn't want to bother other patrons with a noisy keyboard, so I whipped up my own writing app that simulates loud keys via headphones, and it works almost as well as the real thing.
> The world's debt-to-GDP ratio rose to 356% in 2020, a new report from the Institute of International Finance finds, up 35 percentage points from where it stood in 2019

2020 - 356%

How is this a 35% increase?
https://blogs.imf.org/2019/01/02/new-data-on-global-debt/

"The private sector’s debt has tripled since 1950. This makes it the driving force behind global debt. Another change since the global financial crisis has been the rise in private debt in emerging markets, led by China, overtaking advanced economies. At the other end of the spectrum, private debt has remained very low in low-income developing countries.

Global public debt, on the other hand, has experienced a reversal of sorts. After a steady decline up to the mid-1970s, public debt has gone up since, with advanced economies at the helm and, of late, followed by emerging and low-income developing countries."

-> Debt owned in the private sector isn't just about stock market but about all the small businesses which in the US are 99.9% of them (see https://www.chamberofcommerce.org/small-business-statistics/ )

-> Public debt is debt that we all deal with, and it might come as a surprise to you but a majority of people aren't actually rich

What I'm trying to say here is that you can play on the technicality of the amount of people under poverty thresholds not being in debt because they can't even access debt, but it's not really changing anything about the people who ARE in debt being in significant amounts people who might not have the shoulders to take it on but are trying to get by and doing so as a requirement to get by.

I don't see how you drew that conclusion and I am not sure what you're referring to or how that answers my question, at all. He explicitly says in that tweet that he did not intend to stop the unionization effort. Is there some additional context here?

Edit: I read your comment again and I also am not quite sure what you're objecting to. If there was a movement by wheelchair-bound folks to convince a company to build wheelchair ramps, I certainly hope we would value their arguments over able-bodied folk, because the entire point is they're speaking out about what their experience as a minority person is, and what needs to be done for them to get equal access to a company space. Are you saying their attributes as a wheelchair-bound person wouldn't be important to making that argument?

You can't die from opioid withdrawal. It's unpleasant and many people need help. But it's not like alcohol dependence which can kill people if they stop suddenly.

SSRI/SNRIs can be problematic. The difference is that SSRIs tend not to have the other features of dependence:

Seeking the meds when you run low; preoccupation with the meds; continuing to take the meds even though you know they're doing harm.
Working with Coq and trying to understand and use it has been a good brain stretcher for me. It's solidified my understanding of proofs to prove a bunch of simple number theory things in it, as well as creating my own types and experimenting with them.

My only direct experience of opioids is a one week prescription for percocet after surgery. It got me through, and probably was safer short-term than taking massive amounts of Tylenol. But I was glad to stop taking it. It felt insidious: it didn't make the unpleasantness go away so much as remove my ability to care about the unpleasantness. Everything felt fine, kind of light and bouncy. I can easily imagine being trapped in that.

I have never had a stock option that was worth as much as a penny in the course of my career. In one case, a “can't lose” employee stock purchase program (where you put aside money for purchase and at the end of the year you would get stock bought at the lower of the price at the beginning and end of the purchase period with a 10% discount on top of that) ended up being a loss because the stock dropped 50% between the purchase of shares and delivery of the shares. The company was eventually bought out by 3M and I got a hundred bucks or so out of my initial investment (which was, thankfully only a thousand or two, if I recall correctly).
The article does this numerous times.
>Strangely I know more ex-heroin addicts than ex-alcoholics, and there are way more alcoholics out there, but that's just anecdotal data I guess :)

Indeed it is! You conveniently ignore all alcohol consumers except the ones with dependency problems.

>Actually no.

Actually, yes! You're arguing that there is variance in absorbtion, and you are right. That is different, however, from e.g. the LD50 or the ability of people to measure dosage accurately.

>I guess you have preconceptions about what heroin use implies.

You're conveniently ignoring that non-pathological use of heroin is extremely small. It's a rounding error when compared to alcohol usage. You are cherry-picking.

> Strangely I know more ex-heroin addicts than ex-alcoholics, and there are way more alcoholics out there, but that's just anecdotal data I guess :)

Good thing this has been formally studied

>Maybe if you leave out all of the DUI and accidents where alcohol played a role, you'd be right [...]

Yes, and people with pools in their back-yards experience more drowning. Color me surprised.

You're also leaving out all the incidental damage from heroin use in your analysis. Shall we factor in drug-related murders? How about secondary complications like pneumonia?

Again, cherry-picking.

I think we have to consider whether the audio is the defining feature. Clearly with Spotify, it is, and an expectation that it works for deaf users would be ridiculous.

I think with Clubhouse it's not. The defining feature is the network and social interaction, the audio is the format in the same way that on Facebook it's text. We expect Facebook to support screen readers for their text posts, so I think it's reasonable to expect that Clubhouse do something for deaf users.

Whether they should be required to do this at an early stage or not is a different question in my opinion, but I think it's fair to consider eventual support the Right Thing To Do.

Yeah, as long as they were naming and shaming, they should have at least mentioned Larry Ellison.
Oxycodone is legal [albeit controlled]. There are plenty of pill doctors that will prescribe oxycodone to anyone that doesn't look like too big of a mess. A cousin of mine stole oxycodone from my grandmother when she couldn't afford the ever increasing costs of her spiraling out of control oxycodone habit. People have murdered and gone bankrupt acquiring oxycodone, and continue to do so. [https://www.pharmacytimes.com/news/pharmacist-killed-after-r...]

If you're saying 'I meant it should be legal to buy over the counter for cheap and/or given away for free', then that might decrease the number of people being robbed for it - but doesn't seem to decrease the number of overdose deaths, area crime rate, or urban decay by as huge an amount (or maybe it just concentrates it?), at least based on the experiment in Vancouver, BC, Canada's lower east side. The Netherlands is also problematic, and not a solved problem. [https://www.areavibes.com/vancouver-bc/downtown+eastside/cri..., and overdose deaths have continued to skyrocket in Vancouver [http://www.vch.ca/Documents/CMHO-report.pdf] despite harm reduction, decriminalization, and other means.

Areas like San Francisco with de-facto decriminalization also have major problems with people, for lack of a better word, rotting of neglect on the street - something that I've also seen first hand in Vancouver. I also have friends who have seen this first hand in Seattle. Resident complaints around muggings, being assaulted unpredictably by unstable mentally ill people (on drugs or not is hard to say, but there is a high correlation with this and these areas in my personal experience) are hard to ignore.

This isn't a solved problem, and I'm not advocating for 'lock them up' policies - but pretending this will all be cool if everyone can walk down to the corner store and buy heroin if they think they're up for it isn't helping anyone either.
The ability to walk away is perhaps the single most effective negotiation tactic. Simple as that.

In MBA land they call it BATNA. Best alternative to a negotiated agreement.
Just ask the man two questions: Would you like to give heroin to your children, relatives, and colleagues. Would you like to pay for them if they don't have the money to get enough doses in their life? Many "leaders" I know tell people "this company is great". But they ended up sending their kids to other (better) places.
Yeah, the corporate measure for "good/bad UX" is pretty much "how many full time employees will we have to hire to deal with the worse UX or how many employees will we be able to save due to the better UX?". Convenience matters for productivity, but usually not that much - I have seen some UX'es so bad that you'd have extra dedicated employees just to deal with their horribleness, but even then it's cheaper just to hire one or two extra people than spend many millions and person-years on system migration.

Consider doing absolute abstinency for at least 6 weeks every few years.

Really, not a single drink or sip.

That way your liver has time to heal itself again, lest it will develop a cirrhosis, which will signifanctly decrease your quality and expectancy of life. If you have a cirrhosis of the liver, it's too late, you're going to die in at most 5 years, and it won't be pleasant until then, either.

That's got nothing to do with "doing better", "perfection" or whatever, just hard facts.
Using actuator disc theory, accounting for 38% gravity and 1.2% air density, Ingenuity would need about 2.1x more power to hover on Mars.

But it's not that simple. The reynolds number which Ingenuity's blades are operating on Mars is extremely low, 10,000 to 20,000. This makes the airfoils less efficient compared to what you might design on Earth.

Compare to a Trex 450 (30% heavier weight equivalent) helicopter on Earth, it's got 10+ minutes of endurance and has a smaller diameter rotor, whereas Ingenuity has a 90 second stated endurance, although that is probably limited by navigation too.
I’m looking at the front door of my apartment as I type this, and I can see sixteen states for it quite easily. It’s got a lock on the doorknob, a deadbolt, and a big window with a blind. All of these can be open or closed independently of each other; add on the basic “is it open or closed” and that’s four binary choices for 16 states.

Also there is that fun state of “open but will lock behind you because the doorknob lock does not prevent you from closing the door, hope you have your keys on you or someone inside” though that’s maybe more a special case in the state transition table than an actual state?
They knew the correct transactions to make; the problem is the software was unbelievably counter-intuitive. At some point the user can't be blamed if the UX design is that bad.
Modern electric cars don’t even have gears. I drive a manual because I enjoy it but I know I’m doing so anachronistically.
Why is that? And what alternative do you prefer? I do not mind it for what it is meant for. I rather would have it more practical (instead of having to write software twice: once to prove it and once to execute it), but that is also very new and experimental, like F* or Idris.

Stigma around drug use is dangerous. This is extremely evident from the state of treatment of heroin addiction in society today.

I don't really see how challenging this stigma is more dangerous than pandering to the status quo here.

Because it inevitably butts up against people’s desire to not live near lower socioeconomic classes who may not be able to afford a car centric life. See the prevalence of school rankings (proxy for parental wealth) in real estate websites.

Older cities or older areas within cities with dense construction were grandfathered in, but I doubt we’ll see another new city like that in the US. The primary way we separate us from them is with unwalkable distances.

> It's partly why the cookie law drives me nuts, since it's made all tracking the bogeyman, and in reality, most first party "tracking" is completely benign.

There is a lot more disclosure about the use of cookies due to those laws. One of the things those disclosures will note is how many of those cookies are from third-parties. How many people have even reviewed a single disclosure? Of those who have, how many know how to disable third-party cookies? I am not surprised that tracking ended up as the bogeyman due to the amount of it, the dubious motives of most of it, and the limited control that people have.

Even if you eliminate third-party tracking and other forms of data sharing, the amount of tracking happening through first-party cookies is sometimes questionable. A company may be fully justified in figuring out how their services are used, but does that extend to creating profiles on individuals? There is a big difference between a business using aggregate data to improve sales and using data to tailor services to individuals. It is worth noting that many people would consider the former as being too manipulative, while it is reasonable to argue that the latter is exploiting the vulnerabilities of individuals.

Personally, I find any sort form of tracking beyond ensuring security and performance to be excessive since most of the other tracking is intended to establish a one-sided relationship to the benefit of the people doing the tracking. Arguing that it sometimes improves the lives those being tracked is missing the point since it is usually very much unintentional.
