It's especially ironic because the anger over this stuff is mostly performative outrage by white people claiming to be acting on behalf of minorities.

So what words you are using for astronomers and their theories of stars and galaxies? After all, almost all of the events they observe and test their theories on have happened in the long, long past. If you don’t call it “prediction”, then what?

The crucial issue is not when the event happened chronologically, but rather whether you have knowledge of the event. If you have knowledge, then indeed it is not prediction. However, in Malthus time, there was very, very little historical econometric data available.

The point here is that if you judge Malthus by quality of his predictions for immediate future, then yes, they turned out badly. However, that’s not because his model was wrong, but rather because some of his assumptions, that have been valid for entirety of the past history before him, have just stopped being valid anymore.
> If you go on a short trip with some people and afterwards half the people independently complain that you're an offensive racist, there's more to the situation than you "misjudged your audience."

I don't think it's that simple, especially when the "some people" are teenagers. Teenagers, more often than most, can be a rather inflammatory combination of ignorant and zealous.
Being a legal framework makes it a lot scarier and a lot more dangerous.

I meant in my personal life. I make a joke, she gets offended. I can spend the next hour explaining the joke and how it wasn't supposed to be offensive. Or I just apologize.
Of course, I'm a coward.
I think the prior post was making the case we -have- progressed?
> No one upthread made this about political sides

AFAICT every example in the article. I always assume that the contents of the article are upthread because I always assume people read the article before commenting :)

Aside from the article, my impression is that "cancel culture" has a more specific meaning than you seem to prescribe. One on hand, we never called it "cancel culture" when a teacher is fired for being gay. And on the other, CPAC's theme this year is "America Uncanceled". My understanding is that, at this point, the term does have political content.
All sorts of things are like this.

The older I get the more I realize that you can't regulate the things wealthy societies do into existence. If everyone can't afford building code things collapse when you mandate that. If the economy is underpinned by bad working conditions or child labor things collapse when you regulate them. If people can't afford to eat at restaurants that follow some new code then they simply won't and those restaurants will fold. If you restrict the supply of some trade through licensing in the name of quality then you just get amateurs doing the lower dollar work for cash. A society has to be able to afford to do the things it mandates. People have to get wealthy enough to reliably afford "right" before you can legislate away "wrong".

When wearing your policymaking hat, I agree that you should consider what people actually do (which is not always wise) rather than just what they should do.

But when actually struggling (or perhaps even when comfortable), you should forget about policy and fairness and just make the best decisions you can and keep trying to do the right thing, and that gives you or your children or grandchildren the best chance to make it to a comfortable place.

You are obvioualy wearing your policymaking hat. Unfortunately, policymaking is and endless mess of arguing and distracts real people from doing the right thing. Calling things "unfair", even if true, is discouraging for struggling people and makes them less likely to succeed if they listen to you.

The fact is that there's a lot of opportunity here, and a lot of people in the world realize that and come here to realize the opportunity.

Any message of unfairness, in my opinion, should be coupled with the context that the best way forward is still by prudent choices and a multi-generational outlook. Like so many immigrants have.

You call poverty a "trap", but part of that is imposed by a given location. That coal mining town might never come back, and opportunities will be scarce. But growing cities will always offer opportunity to newcomers. It's much easier to "immigrate" from a declining city/town to a growing one than from another country.

This is not to say that we can't improve policy. We can. But the constant drumbeat of unfairness and victimhood is a counterproductive tactic in the policymaking process.
In my experience, an individual who believes that success is the result of hard work will end up being more successful than a similar individual who believes that success is primarily due to starting conditions or luck.

At the same time, government policies that acknowledge that success is hugely dependent on starting conditions and luck seem to result in more equitable societies. (i.e. higher Gini coefficient or Shorrocks index)

I don’t think there's an inherent conflict between those perspectives -- it's boiling them down to two-dimensional strawman arguments that makes them look that way.
> The towns surrounding Chernobyl were completely evacuated. This can happen again.

This is just FUD. There is no reasonable possibility of that.
Gasoline vs oil overall, to zoom in to cars.
>"OP made good decisions and worked hard"

On a national or even global scale I try to avoid generalizations like this because trivially they don't lead to good policy outcomes. It's almost a little like stock picking. If 5/100 hedge funds make a positive return over the year, my first thought isn't "the other 95 refused to work to better themselves".

It's easy to understand this with hedge funds, but people commonly make this mistake when talking about human beings. You wouldn't be taken seriously if you said those hedge funds lost money because "they refused to work hard". I feel most people are the same way - I don't think any rational actor refuses to better themselves, rather it is a fallacy we tell ourselves to explain why things the way they are. I've seen plenty of "hard working" people relegated to poverty because their kid got sick.

Finally, the best solution is not to focus on individual funds, but on the index. Providing a better baseline for all companies leads to a better overall index and having a strong economy involves having a section of it the "wastes" a lot of money investing in the in the future.
I erroneously thought the critic in the article was Japanese, although the "sir" should have been an obvious giveaway.

There are a lot of self-improvement type tasks that fall between a passion and a requirement to improve.

I'm trying to eat better and improve the quality of my sleep. I'm exercising regularly. I've recently started practicing guitar again because I want to be a better player.

If you had similar goals, would you describe yourself as passionate about your diet? About your sleep? Passionate about working out or playing guitar?
I mean I've given up $150k/yr+ in opportunity cost for years to work on stuff I'm passionate about. But over time that has paid off in many more ways than the money would have. But that's a privilege only accessible to people with their base needs met, so it shouldn't be used as a sole filter for candidates without other ways for people to prove competence.
> But these 4 articles were so interesting and horrifying to read I read them all in one setting.

Wow, I was barely able to get through the first part and honestly the whole time I was thinking "I can't believe this guy has been a professional writer for decades. He desperately needs help from an editor."

I find the content interesting, but the writing seems to wander unnecessarily and I wish he'd focus more on getting to the point than needlessly interject his, at least to me, obnoxious attempts to defend his character rather than let the audience decide for themselves. Yes, I realize the entire point of this article is to defend himself, but I'd rather read the meat of the story than variations of "I don't think I'm a bad guy."

To each his own.

> but it never discussed why you would be accumulating all that wealth.

One reason is that if one accumulates that wealth, and puts that wealth to work itself making money (i.e., investing it) then one obtains an income stream that is separate and apart from the number of hours per day one can spend "working".

Accumulate enough money that is itself making money, and one can live comfortably without having to spend 40+hrs/week "working" for one's income.
Twitter | Intermediate and Senior Software Engineers | REMOTE US/Canada or ONSITE (multiple US offices)

Twitter is hiring intermediate and senior software engineers for two new engineering effectiveness teams. These teams work closely with internal engineering customers at Twitter, and will be a great fit for experienced software engineers who are passionate about developing tools that empower other engineers to do their best work.

* The Development Environment team is responsible for Twitter engineers’ interactive software development environment. We focus on how the collection of development tools used at Twitter can work better together. The team owns the systems used to package and distribute tools and configurations to workstations, measure usage and performance analytics for development tools, provide remote workspaces, and more. Tools are written in Python and Scala and build on relevant open source technologies. The team’s customers include all engineers at Twitter. For more information or to apply: https://t.co/VYk3xiPv3p

* The Technical Documentation Tools team is responsible for Twitter’s internal technical documentation tools. This includes tools for writing, reading and searching for documentation. Tools are written in Python and Scala and build on relevant open source technologies. The team’s customers include all engineers and technical writers at Twitter. For more information or to apply: https://t.co/oOodemfXqP

Although the links are both to roles described as "Sr. Software Engineer," please apply if you have directly relevant interests and professional experience, even if "senior" isn't your current job title--we will work with you to determine appropriate leveling.

General information: We’re currently looking to seed these teams with intermediate and senior software engineers in the US or Canada before expanding to team members earlier in their careers and in other parts of the world. Currently, all Twitter offices are closed, but you would have the option to work from one once they reopen. We strongly believe in a safe workplace and healthy work-life balance for all.

When applying, please ensure that your resume makes it clear why you are interested in the particular team you are applying to, as we prioritize followup with the most relevant candidates.
The "about" section of the website says

> Since 1997 Perl.com has been the home for quality articles about Perl programming, news and culture. The website is managed by the The Perl Foundation.

They might want to update this if it isn't the case.
This is already happening.

In 2016, that silenced group rallied together to elect a disruptive bully as retaliation against the establishment.

In 2020, the establishment went full aggression and elected someone who seems to be impaired as a way to backdoor in someone wildly unpopular like Ms Harris.

Over this same period, far left media has struggled to find commercial success, with bombs like Star Wars IX. By contrast, films like Joker set records — showing the problem isn’t a lack of demand.

In 2021, that same people who elected Trump held a riot at the capitol after nine months of violent rioting by the Democrats. They targeted a point in the process where disruption would force coverage and discussion of their issues.

This was called an “insurrection” by the same people who had worked to fund and support the violent rioting, such as Ms Harris or Ms Waters. The capitol is now being permanently fortified and has a permanent military presence.

I would say on the communist scale, it’s already to the point they’re afraid — and we’re approaching civil war.

They’re really setting the record on speed runnings.
Medium union effort stalls, falling one vote short of majority
When I was a younger developer I used to believe things like this. There are tons of roles and different levels to fill. People come from all sorts of backgrounds. You shouldn't discount folks for following a different path. A passionate and curious developer can learn C, C++, Rust if/when they need to.

I would also argue that in the front end world frameworks have vastly improved code quality and developer experience. 10 years ago every team had their own homegrown build system, there were no libraries for type checking, you had write code or conditionals for the lowest version browser you support. Oh and app structure? Every team did something different.

Compare that to now: We have a handful of large open source build systems, so if you jump teams/projects there is consistency. We have things like TypeScript and Flow. We have Babel, which can transpile modern JavaScript in to older versions of the language, so you can support older browsers without even thinking about it. Finally, we have frameworks like React and Vue, which enforce a component based architecture. This is great because you can jump between different projects and for the most part will find code organized in the same way. All of this is amazing.

Reload probably means that they have implemented it fully on the server side. So the cookie (about the cookies) gets set through the server, or worse, they initially send down the cookies and then clear them with the reload.

If you are talking about this and not malicious reloads that make giving a consent harder. (I haven't seen that latter and the former doesn't bother me.)
The problem isn't that we don't care at all. A lot of us were drawn to software engineering for some reason or other, maybe we can call it "passion." But I resent that my "passion" is only being exploited to make other people more money. If I do something over the weekend, it's not because of any sort of financial motivation. But when it's framed in the employment perspective, obviously, people would prefer to hire those who are going to do more work for less money, and those who spend time studying in their off hours. Why wouldn't they? Now your passion has been taken over and corrupted as a means for somebody else's profit (and chances are you aren't even going to get a cut of the spoils). If you're not spending your weekend learning the latest framework, who even are you? Of course people are going to become cynical when this kind of perversion happens - it's usually only those straight out of college who haven't realized they're being taken advantage of yet.

It's actually sad because once you've been around the block a few times with these kinds of managers, your passion starts to feel like a dimming light bulb until it's totally put out. And at that point you're only in it for the paycheck while you're mentally checked out. Just look at the videogame industry and its famous burnout stories to see what happens when you hire a bunch of passionate programmers.

(As another comment points out below, these articles are also likely to get memory-holed by demands to censor "racist content", or "content by racists".)

I did try things like https://web.archive.org/web/20210301145319/https://donaldgmc... but the Medium JS seems to successfully replace the page with a 500 error after it's loaded, despite being served from the IA. All the requests in the debug pane do go to archive.org, so this is probably a solvable problem.

Are there other good alternatives to archive.fo for this kind of thing? Maybe something decentralized?
This is exactly what the article discusses and this is also the reason why it is relevant and why it applies.

The topic becomes too controversial for a vocal minority and an author "voluntarily" self-censored. I chuckled when you said she did it herself. She did, likely after she was told what would happen otherwise.

I chuckled, because I assume you think she is free the way Sartre suggested she is free?
