I feel like this article could do a better job comparing renting and buying a home, so here's a video I think makes some good arguments about why it's not such a clear decision.

I'd be interested in seeing analysis of how this 3rd option would historically compare to renting and home ownership.

No, I remember what it meant. Once you put a product on a ship and watch it sail away, you can no longer tinker with it. You might not feel finished, so it takes resolve. Finished or not, when it sails away, you're done.

Back when software was treated as a physical packaged good, it had to physically leave your "factory" by a certain date to qualify as a sale during the quarter, allowing it to be claimed in a quarterly income filing, which would boost the stock price and, thereby, the compensation of execs and employees. So, the sales team would sometimes have to carry an armload of shrinkwrapped boxes out the back door into the parking lot to claim a sale for that quarter. It had legally "shipped". The programmers (former high school nerds) would be desperately hanging on to the code until the last possible minute--there was always more that ought to be done--while the sales team (former high school jocks) would be forcing the programmers to "hand over that disk, now, nerd!"

No courage was required by the sales team to ship. Their job was just to book the sale. In the parking lot by midnight? Hello sales bonus. But real courage (or threat) was required by the programmers, who would be forced to let go of code that could not be fixed "thru the wire" in those days, knowing that they would be blamed for every flaw that they "shipped".

I think you have a point in that no one has a right to force me to listen to their speech.

However, I think that in the case of the monopolies being discussed here, it's different. The issue is that they "enable" speech in a generic way. They don't enable this or that speech in particular. They also don't force A to listen to B's speech. If anything, they do the complete opposite, what with the whole "echo chamber" situation. I think this is the whole meat of the "platform vs publisher" debate.

A newspaper or other media have to actively "enable" something. When they publish speech A, they choose to not publish speech B. It's often an "either / or", at least for questions of space. They produce whatever speech they print / show. It's theirs, it's their point of view.

However, Facebook, Twitter and other similar companies only put out a tool. This tool is then used by this or that person to speak this or that argument. FB doesn't actively and directly help speaker A anymore that they help speaker B. Also, as an FB user, no one forces you to listen to B's speech if you don't care for it. Your right not to listen to speech you disagree with is not infringed. If I publish a story on FB, it's my story, my speech, not Facebook's. Just as if I shout in the town square it's my speech that I shout. It doesn't become the mayor's speech because it's in his town or the square's architect because he built it in such a way that my voice can physically be heard.

If you consider that FB has some right to prevent people from speaking "wrong" views, then why stop at FB? We should come up with ways to help other companies to prevent their product from being used for speech and other actions they don't agree with. Like the power company. Maybe they don't like their electricity being used to spread some "wrong" ideas. I'm pretty sure the local bakery isn't all that happy either to support some X-ist fanatic.

Where do we draw the line?

> suppression of ideas doesn't work then why in exactly these kinds of articles do people bemoan it as dangerous?

Because then these bad ideas fester in dark places and emerge as an entrenched ideology that is more difficult or impossible to respond to before they have resulted in adverse outcomes.

> I may agree that most censorship is wrong but it does work. It worked for centuries to help maintain systems of inequality.

It seems you’ve answered your own question then. Censorship is bad because it sustains systems of inequality.

> It worked for centuries to maintain familial control and enforce sexual monoculture in many countries. Information control works so well, it prevents people from even understanding themselves or what they really want in the face of ideologically imposed values.

You are attributing effects to censorship when material circumstances and ideology contributed in large amounts. Its much easier to destroy ideas by burning books when all the books are manufactured by skilled craftsman using their hands.

> We are steeped in a culture of Hollywood telling us what the lessons of history are about. One of the off repeated "hopeful" messages we are fed is that you can't kill an idea but my reading of history has led me to the other conclusion entirely. That controlling the conversation, its constraints and determining the status quo are profoundly powerful tools.

You can’t kill an idea but you can delay it or make people too terrified to spread it openly.
Same in football (soccer) as well. The goalkeeper is protected and can simultaneously get away with more contact.

Historically its because goalkeepers have been vulnerable when in the air and outfield players leading with their feet when reaching for a contested ball.
Is a cornfield a place where branches are?

Is the density of a cornfield a good analog for a forest?
Of course you can do it in theory. The question is, whether you can do it today and whether those attempts will turn out more dangerous than helpful. IT achievements allows for extremely easy exchange of the information throughout the world. You can easily circumvent many kinds of blocking. You have E2E conversations available to masses, so you can't effectively censor anything centrally.

Whether that's good or bad is for history to decide. Recently I saw some guy watching video about terrorists executing some prisoner. He got it via whatsapp. That video was pro-terrorist, they obviously are trying to recruit more people by spreading their propaganda. Of course I would prefer such kinds of conversations to be silenced. The thing is, it can't be silenced. Russia tried to block Telegram, they poured lots of IT resources, they used DPI and other methods but they did not succeed and did lots of collateral damage in the process by blocking innocent websites.

I think that genie is out of the bottle already and we have to learn how to live with it. IMO governments right now are trying another method: they put lots of disinformation, hoping that average folk won't find out which one is true. Not blocking specific information, but making it hard to find and distinguish truth from false. That works for me, I already stopped to trust most of the information on the web.
Fascinating article. Let's work through the business plan. If it takes say a $2 million loan to acquire land and build units for 100 families that pay $1000 monthly, that's $1.2 million a year in rent at 100% occupancy. I dunno what annual expenses would be for staff, maintenance, vacancies, legal/accounting services, and so on, let's say maybe $700,000?

So you'd have $500,000 a year to pay down your $2 million startup loan. Once the loan's paid off what do you do with the $500k / year of rents minus expenses?

The author's answer is to pay it out to tenants. If you simply divide it among all 100 tenants, that $500k / year would turn into a $5000 / year discount -- annual rent goes from $12,000 to $7000, or on a monthly basis it goes from $1000 to $600-ish.

Author proposes something different though: It goes to tenants unequally, based on how long they've lived there. Basically you're charging junior tenants more than the cost of maintaining their housing, and using the extra to pay dividends to senior tenants. This seems a little weird.

Once the rights to those dividends exist, what happens to them? Are the "shares" the senior tenants get transferrable, inheritable on death, forfeitable on bankruptcy? Even if they aren't, what's stopping them from signing away the dividends to a financial firm for a lump-sum payment?

There is no reason it has to be that hard to have the scalable infra out of the box. There should be some setup out there, ideally portable, where setup is one command and now I have a working scalable demo app (multi-user todo, fb clone, instagram clone, etc...)

That setup should include unit tests, integration tests, a/b deployment, rolling upgrades, versioning, local dev, staging servers, production servers, data backups, logging infra, etc...

The inputs to get started should be as simple 10 questions. Domain names, service names, ...

As is now, setting up a new scalable website is similar in some ways to trying to setup a new computer if linux, macos, windows didn't exist and you had to write your own OS from existing parts. There's no reason it should be this way. There's a set a reasonable defaults that would work for most projects.

I wouldn't consider that too complex or over engineered. I'd consider it simplified the same way the fact get I get so much from existing OSes simplifies using my computers vs having to write my own OS for every new computer I buy

I think the extremes, both left and right, have realized that their greatest enemy is not the other extreme, but the masses in between.

A group that has the numbers, with mild views that can dilute your message with reasonable doubt, challenge certain aspects of your extreme yet be broadly acceptable to a much wider audience including those tending towards your side – that's poision for an extremist.

Therefore, their solution to that is tribalism, polarization, and shaming for any hint of non-compliance with the extreme's dogma.

End result is that the vast majority of moderate people do not participate in debates on sensitive topics, leaving the field open for polarizing demagoguery. All that's left is to make more topics sensitive to get an advantage there too, and that's progressing very well too.
The vim landscape today is pretty incredible. Neovim nightly supports native LSP (and Treesitter!) so you get all the functionality that VSCode pioneered.

Neovim also supports configuring your setup in lua, certainly a better language than vimscript (which I agree isn't great) and lets you write native neovim plugins in lua.

Emacs of course supports LSP (and probably treesitter), I'm just reflecting on the fact that (neo)vim continues to evolve.

I think without neovim, vim popularity would have continued to degrade. Though the community, especially with packages like Coc.vim, continues to push vim along and bring support for external features. I personally think neovim is the future over vim given its management and native support for LSP and Treesitter.

In either case, its awesome both editors are still going strong! While VSCode and JetBrains' IDEs are great, they always feel crowded compared to vim. I love that both (neo)vim and emacs still have such large communities behind them. Both are great examples of software that is old, receives improvements and evolves, and continuously delivers value to their users.

impl Trait is an existential type, not a subtype relationship. And it doesn't really mean "Liskov substitutable" either. After all, it names a single type, just un-named.

What you describe is probably mathematically impossible, but it definitely does not reflect reality.

Facebook's median tenure is 2.3 years, so at least 50% of all people at Facebook were hired during the past 2.3 years. If there were a true 'quota' of 30% of BIPOC during that period (a small fraction of the time since their first DEI report), you would necessarily have at 15% of employees represented as such. By Facebook's own numbers, in the article, that is not the case. So, what can we conclude? Either:

1) Facebook's BIPOC employees leave at a much higher rate than other employees (implying a large problem in and of itself).
2) Facebook does not, in fact, have a 30% minimum quota for BIPOC hires.

Your comment, in fact, would deny not only the implication of the article but even the basic facts therein. We know from above that Facebook is definitely not hiring at 30%, so why in the world would they reject a Black PhD in a relevant field, if the will "just hire any [one], culture fit or not"?
Maybe I shouldn't have mixed up two different aspects of this question. "Taking it underground" relates more to the expression of ideas as the discussed in the article. I don't see much of this in the use of the classical Nazi symbols.

On the other hand the law has been used to a ridiculuous extent in banning Nazi symbols from all sorts of cultural artifacts such as games or movies. Doesn't make any sense to me.
The Future Will be Technical: A modular essay about our optimistic future
I think it’s also kind of an unwritten rule. Been watching hockey for 25 years now and it’s rare to see the goalie go to the box, but when they do it’s for a particularly egregious slashing penalty (usually to the ... swimsuit area). I agree with the general point of the article though, which I thought was well written. Hockey, especially over I’d say the last 5-6 years or so has gotten a lot more “run and gun” than before that imo.
> I just think the solution should lie in : 1) dialog 2) laws

If they're not willing to be reasonable (like, you don't get to "dialog" about whether or not genocide is appropriate), then the best and most moral course of action could very well be to stop them from recruiting your friends.

In the context of tech, this is the essence of deplatforming. Twitter and Facebook cannot censor, since they are not governments. However, as private entities, they can decide not to let you use their service. That's their private property rights in action.
This article was written in 2007 about the Giant Void. [0] In 2013, the KBC Void [1] was discovered, named after its discoverers, Keenan, Barger, and Cowie. The KBC void is 2 billion light years across, twice the diameter and 8 times the volume of the Giant Void. Both the Giant Void and the KBC Void contain galaxies, the Giant Void containing 17 galaxy clusters, and the KBC Void containing the Laniakea Supercluster. [2] The Laniakea Supercluster contains the Milky Way. Something to imagine, indeed.

1. I have no idea what I’m supposed to associate with your “imagine” scenario. I associate “lit” with drunk or high, but I doubt that’s what you meant?

2. I didn’t denigrate anything, I asked what something meant.

3. My... bigotry? Excuse me but what? I didn’t recognize a slang term.

4. I’m not gonna guess which 60% was sarcastic. But more than that was defensive.

5. To the extent it was important and valuable to me to have it identified, I couldn’t care less about “othering” a group of people that have murdered people I care about and expressed wanting me and my loved ones dead. Yep you read between the lines, I’m biased against people who want to do violence against me and my loved ones. What a fucking revelation.

6. I wish a cooking site could be something that doesn’t attract this bullshit. But since it can’t. How fucking dare you call me a bigot.

Good comment. Expanding the crease is an interesting idea but I’m not a fan of it for one reason: it would likely lead hockey down the path of baseball, where so much of the game is “reviewed”. Inevitably if we expand the crease size more players are going to inadvertently cross through it because, well, skating on ice is a little chaotic. Which to me has always been the point (and the fun) of the game.

Edit: LOL just watched that video. I remember watching that game as a kid.
That's exactly something a fascist will say about someone who he disagrees with but it's incapable of debating.
this might be false equivalence. People far on the left (except from some nas-bols; which I’ve never encountered in the wild) call them selfs anti-facists. It is clear who their greatest enemy is. In fact far left groups (like food not bombs, etc.) often engage in social programs called mutual aid where the goal is to spread propaganda through helping the masses.
I think the GP was referring to the left/DNC.

Not only will they not listen to reason, they burned our downtowns, just like Mussolini's fascists, or the Russian Red Terror, around WW2.

We are in an ideological civil war, and have been since 2012. Anybody who's studied history already knows this.
