Great Job Noah and Dick!

This is brilliant and looks well executed. It is definitely well positioned to replace the wish list, review list, registry etc.

How do you avoid the distraction that comes with solving a problem that can pull you in too many directions? This can easily become a Pinterest, Affiliate shops, Price monitoring, coupon code sharing etc.

What are your plans to stay focused while listening to your users?

I signed up and sent you guys an email too!

PS: You may want to make referral links vs text (we pay per text message in many countries). A link will let up put it on our WhatsApp status etc.
I have no preference, so sometimes I will say Native American, sometimes its American Indian, sometimes its indigenous... No real preference other than I tend to use one or another based on context at times. Its more clear and not mildly politically loaded to say "Native American" in this context.

I do not really like using Indian to refer to Native Americans as I work with a lot of people from India. This is a personal preference, I don't correct people who say Indian to refer to Native Americans and I will often use it in a conversation where its already being used to avoid confusion or bad vibes.

An of course, there is the confusion you noted that can happen between the super-continent America and the country commonly called America.
Yeah, I suppose are definitely ways to do some basic zoom with just CSS and very minimal JS modifying the zoom-levels.

But then when you take into account data that needs to be inserted for higher resolution at higher zoom levels, it becomes a lot of JS, especially if that data needs to be fetched as the user zooms.
I've written a detailed explanation above, but want to address a concern of you:

> A sudden confrontation with this can be completely destabilizing.

Many ways force a confrontation, and that's indeed dangerous. However, it doesn't have to be like that.

Emotions are like onions. They're layered. Slow practice and slow advancement naturally brings practitioners to outer layers of these onions, which are easier to understand, remove and resolve. In our way, you can't get to the next level unless you have the power to do so.

If you have the power, you can remove and solve it. If you can't remove that layer, you don't face with anything. It all happens progressively.

All in all, there's no forced search for battles to fight. Ours is self exploration. You face only what you're ready for. We have safeguards against it.

I'm doing this for ~7 years and I still get to harder levels of the same issues sometimes. It's not easy, but it's worth it.
I mean you need to tell me they're payload size (and version numbers).

I actually thought it was number of downloads until I rechecked your script.
I've been on the sharp end of a minor version of this, and you're right, it's scary. I only coped by not paying attention to it all and buckling down to deal with the things that matter. And alcohol, which helped, though it cost me in other ways.
Last time I checked cars have master and slave cylinders.
> the "record master" does not, and never did, have any slaves.

Are you sure about this? It seems the music industry is going through a parallel exercise. I'm not familiar with music industry terminology really, but it seems those who are disagree with you:

"Following that thread, [Pharrell] Williams suggested that the company “get ahead of this and do the right thing. Start with the terminology — like ‘master’ and ‘slave.’ Master being the main recording and the slave being all the copies made.”

...

Williams recalls hearing the loaded words “master” and “slave” paired in such a manner as a teen, when learning the ropes of the music business from R&B star Teddy Riley in Virginia Beach, Va. As his career took off, Williams spotted the terms woven into many of his contracts."

That will work for some, most notably the big ones on the side of highways, but I assumed most people would be charging at home, at least for city driving. The earliest adopters will also be the most wealthy that are more likely to have rooftop solar to leverage.
> Why would someone not want suspending to be enabled if their machine is capable?

Because suspending is very hardware dependent, for it to work everywhere one must install specific drivers for everything.

Note that the suspending installation steps are about the specific hardware of the auctor as an example.

It's as though one expects not having to install drivers for one's specific graphics card very specific mouse that has unique features.

> Why is DBUS, NTP and slim (I don't even know what that one is) not enabled by default when the user signals they want to use xfce?

Because installing a package does not automatically start a service, that would be very annoying.

The user did not indicate that he wished to use XFCE, only that he wished to install it. — I would personally be supremely annoyed if by merely installing software, which I might simply do to inspect some of it's files, all sorts of services would suddenly be started, especially if this be DBus, which has a reputation with it's “DBus activation” mechanism of starting a bunch of other things because it guesses that the user wants them started based on similar heuristics as you suggested.

The next thing I know, DBus has started NetworkManager, which has then suddenly overwritten some configuration files, all because I installed XFCE, without even deciding whether I wanted to run it.

It is very good practice for installation to purely be installation and place files on the filesystem, not start any processes. — the user can do that at any point if he so choose.

> You have to have a lot of knowledge to just have a basic install in your laptop. Compare that to windows, macos and ubuntu that drop you in a desktop friendly environment as soon as you finish the install.

FreeBSD's cards are on the table here with their target audience.

The systems you mentioned indeed take another approach, and I'm sure they have their reasons to, but FreeBSD has very good reasons for it's own, and I personally find the idea of a system that starts all sorts of processes because it guessed that he user willed it so to be quite annoying.
Again, I'm just trying to understand why my BS detector squeals at evo-psych and not physics.

Regarding an example: I was thinking along the lines of physics models that, in daily use, physicists treat as genuinely true. This includes concepts that are somewhat problematic, like true causality. (E.g., Newtonian mechanics as taught in high-school.)

But after some more thought, I think my real issue is how the two communities vet their theories. My simplistic take on it is:

The physics community has a healthy focus on refutability. IIUC, the community has little tolerance for someone even posing an unrefutable theory, let alone espouse it as likely truth.

The evo-psych community (and I could be mistaken) is much more tolerant of people advancing theories that are (practically speaking) untestable as though they were genuinely true.

I’m not entirely convinced with their underlying assumption about big vs small animals...

In my opinion, driving traffic was a success.

It came at a steep cost.

Very poor signal to noise ratio. Reputable or notable contributions do not rise above the noise well enough to preserve the initial reputability Quora began with.

Spaces are a mixed bag. Mostly good. Depends on the space, and the better ones are asking for features that make a lot of sense. It could get worse.

Quora does still retain a nice fraction of the initial top writers, and a fair number of those really still care.

Finished?

I don't think so. Time remains to improve.

If they do not decide what Quora is intended to be, then yes. Finished, and it will trundle along for a good while yet.

There does need to be a cleanup pass done, and with it very clear intent. Throughout the history of Quora, intent, to a large but not inclusive degree, culture, and overall site management have gone through multiple transitions.

Each of these netted some great ideas.

It appears few of those were given the attention and focus needed for it all to play out better than it currently has.

The high value leave behinds are disappointing.

I need just three minutes of your attention. My name is Darya. I’m an immigrant from Belarus, and around two years ago, I decided to try my career skills in Silicon Valley. At that moment, I had an awesome career in my country and didn’t think at all that one day I wouldn’t be able to go back to Belarus because of the political situation occurring there now. I had a dream to live for a few years in San Francisco, study UX/UI design, and then share my knowledge with the people of Eastern Europe. I still work with Belarusian startups… but without the possibility to go back when I want.

I would be very surprised if people started deliberately picking the much more expensive option for no benefit whatsoever.
I would not blame solely company PR departments for this, often the press exaggerates claims for clicks.

I remember working on a non-profit that provided philanthropy advice to millionaires. Once we hosted a small conference and we ran a very informal poll about the said millionaires satisfaction with their own philanthropy.

The result was something like 32 out of 40 wanted to donate more money annually than what they were currently donating (as opposed with “satisfied” with the amount or wanted to “donate less”).

We mentioned the result to a journalist covering the event and of course the newspaper headline was ”80% of Brazilian millionaires want to donate more”. No mention that it was a poll during the event with only 40 people that were highly selected to people wanting to donate more (the purpose of the event was teach how to donate well). On the contrary, someone reading would have the impression that our organization funded a well-done proper research covering a significant sample of all millionaires in Brazil.

That was not our PR, that misleading headline was solely the journalist creation. The event itself was pretty boring, so they went with that headline to justify their time investment in covering it I think.

I know the chances goes to 0% if it's for authentic, period correct, women's laderhozen. If it's a book about data science, then there's a good chance I'll click through. Of course, this is all anecdotal, especially since I always had ad block on back in the days before targeted ads, and have never really been subjected to ads that's weren't somehow related to me or the immediate context. If you've ever been around a child, you know how much targeted ads can work. They want the toys that they see. Showing them ads of Bentleys won't result in any sales.

I would recommend talking to someone that does A/B testing.

Metered speech is a speaking and writing pattern whereby you pause after so many syllables in order to prevent your audience from grasping the full idea of what is being said. Let me demonstrate this for you.

Metered speech, is a speaking, and writing, pattern whereby you pause after so many syllables, in order to prevent your audience from, grasping the full idea, of what is being said. Let me, demonstrate this for you.

It can also be done with matter of fact statements, Dripped one after the next.

This is commonly done by the MSM on news websites.

Typically the articles have no more than 20 sentances in them with no more than 2-3 sentances per paragraph.

They drip the text one line at a time.

Again, the entire point is to cause you to pause for a second before reading or taking in the next point.

This is an incredibly common writing and speaking tactic that's been around since the dark ages if not earlier and was in common use during the fire and brimstone days of the church. The objective of speaking like this is to prevent the cognitive mind from evaluating information by throwing roadblocks in its place, and to get the limbic system to instead keep track of tone and base subject matter.

As a modern example, go listen to Cuomo Appologize for whatever his latest political situation is. Don't listen to the content, just listen to the pacing and delivery. It's all a manufactured production.

If you want a great demonstration, go to any big MSM news site, copy and paste the articles into a text editor and start removing paragraphs and comma's and apply 8th grade writing rules (minimum 3 sentances to a paragraph). Heck go to the article, copy and paste the responses into a text editor and begin removing comma's.

It is important to keep in mind this is a media production tactic they teach in marketing and sales courses and when you see production decisions being made they are clear signals as to the accuracy of the content.
"Channel 37 is an intentionally unused ultra-high frequency (UHF) television broadcasting channel in the United States, Canada and Mexico and some of Eurasian region. The frequency range allocated to this channel is important for radio astronomy, so broadcasting is not licensed. "
This is never a message I would post in a non-anonymous forum, because of fear of retaliation and being likewise labeled an antisemite and antitrans person.

If someone says that "We in group X have it as bad as the Jews did in Nazi Germany", that doesn't really sound antisemitic to me. It is probably representative of a vast misunderstanding of history, but nothing about the statement says that she hates Jews.

Likewise, if you say that you think it is silly to be forced to label yourself with your pronouns, that isn't really transphobic in my mind. You can be perfectly okay with trans people, but not like the idea of being socially forcing 99.4% of the population to label themselves for the benefit of 0.6% of the population. Anyways, I didn't even realize pronoun labeling was about trans, I assumed it was more for non-binary people. "I may look like a male and present as a male, but don't you dare use 'he/him' on me, I am a 'they/them', because I am one of the few to contain multitudes"

It's really not an apt technical analogy. The most significant aspects of the master/slave relationship (ownership) are not present in the technical version.

To me, it just says that we are still in the early days in the grand scheme of things.
In modern English, I don't see any difference between "methinks" and "I think" it's just two ways of saying the same thing. If anyone sees a different shade of meaning between the two, what is it? And "To me, it appears that..." is just more words to say "I think..."
My problem with this statement is that it has a few undefined variables. For example:

Innocent, Person, Human, Age, Destroy, Interfere, Developing, Conception

The variation in the variables above will lead to a combinatorial explosion of different ethical positions. This is why science fiction can be so prolific and interesting.

For instance, what is a person? Is a cow a person? A monkey? A homo habilis? How about Neanderthals, elephants, and dolphins? What about a person who has uploaded their mind to a computer? A person who has cryogenically frozen their body?

What is a person's age? Is it the time from which an egg was fertilized, implanted in a uterus, connected vasculature, or is it at birth? What is conception? When an egg is penetrated by the sperm, or only when the egg is successfully fertilized? What about a non-viable conception that doesn't divide? Ectopic pregnancies?

What is a human being? Is a brain in a jar still human? How about a stem cell line? A brain dead "corpse?" At what point in our ancestry did we become "Human?" At what point are we no longer "Human?" Is a simulation of a human being atom by atom, still a human? If I simulate the growth of a baby from a fertilized embryo would it be murder to turn off the simulation right after birth? What is the difference between that simulation and reality?

Are siamese twins a single person or two people? A person who has had their corpus callosum cut has two separate brains. Are they still a single person? Is it ethical to kill one siamese twin to save the other if both will die anyways? What if one siamese twin is already brain dead? Which should be saved? What is the difference between siamese twins and a pregnant woman?

I find the problem with a lot of ethics is a fondness for false dichotomies. When someone offers you two alternatives you can bet there are many more.

FHE security is reasonably well understood but not as well understood as EC or RSA/DH security. For the most part today's FHE systems are all based on the (R)LWE problem and the hardness of that problem is not in doubt for the right parameter choices (though choosing the right parameters is a careful balancing act).

It is unlikely (in my opinion) that "true" FHE applications will be deployed any time soon, but "leveled" FHE applications are already being deployed for a small number of levels (e.g. 2). Beyond quartic functions the performance is probably going to be too much of a problem for most applications. Homomorphic encryption in general is commonly used as a building block in larger MPC systems and you will probably see more widespread use of leveled FHE as such a building block too.

As for selectively decrypting outputs, that sounds like functional encryption and it is still an active area of research (see also obfuscation, which was a hot topic a few years ago). I doubt you will see practical applications for a very long time.

Sorry if I missed it in the FAQ, do you have finite capacity or do you have an agreement with the data center where you can bring on more gpus with demand. My worry would be to wake up one day and find that all GPUs are in use.

And (this may sound naive) I work with other companies' data, I have a responsibility to them to keep it safe, do you have any concerns with this being used for "professional" applications or are you targeting research / hobby?

To be clear, I am dealing with things that my clients are comfortable with me working with on mainstream cloud providers, not state secrets or data with legislative requirements.

I think of this topic this very morning.

I am entering the fourth month of second entrepreneurial attemp. It feels harder than my last attemp, which failed. I have no funding (yet) and I have a child now. I can't keep 8 hours straight sleep.

Will my body cracks? I interviewed my mom this morning, who failed her several attempts in business and got lupus erythematosus.

She said that she never felt tired at that time. She just worked and worked. She used to be called the Never Tired Woman. But her businesse just didn't work. Then one day, she felt so tired. It turned out that she had this problem called lupus erythematosus. Then she gave up her career as entrepreneur. That was fifteen years ago, when she was in her fourth year as businesswoman rather than clerk.

I heard successful entrepreneurs adviced us to work as hard as you can. But what does that acutally mean? Should I work so hard as to hurt my health? My mom's story tells me, health is the prerequisite for entrepreneurship. As for working hard, there is bottom line there.
