The distinction here is that the iPod/iPhone is the product, while iMessage is merely a feature.

By creating iTunes for Windows they were expanding the potential customer base for iPods. By supporting iMessage on Android they would not be expanding the potential customer base for iPhone. If anything they would be shrinking it if they think iMessage is a compelling enough feature for people to switch from Android to iMessage.
The author conflates "viewpoint diversity" as it pertains to a workplace setting with political diversity. There are many benefits in a workplace to a diversity of views on how to approach the work and this kind of diversity improves the quality of the product the organization produces. But is this true for political diversity? Maybe, but the author doesn't explain why, and it's not clear what studies exist that support his view.

I don't think this is an intellectually honest article.
That's not a universal opinion. All of the people on my team would prefer to be in the office 2 or 3 days a week. Some people find it's positive for their mental health to see and interact with other people, in person, regularly.
But many conservative viewpoints are not hostile to identities.

If I don't agree with Affirmative Action, am I hostile to someone's identity? A majority of Californians at the ballot box will disagree with AA but none of them will say it out loud at the workplace.

It's the misconception that identities are "opposed" by certain viewpoints that leads to this.

It's actually worse than that: it's not that the US doesn't know how to learn (from others), it's the US increasingly takes pride in its own ignorance. I remember a friend years ago telling about the rise of anti-intellectualism in the US. I said he was wrong. Boy was I way off.

Stephen Colbert in 2005 was disturbingly prescient with this [1].

As for anything regarding public transit (intercity or intracity) in the US, sadly I think it's pretty much a lost cause. People just don't want it. They want their 1-2 acre lots within a city (which I still find crazy) and their cars.

The US is more than twice the land area of the EU. The EU has people concentrated in fewer cities (just look at how many airports and flights there are between the two). Barring some historical exceptions in the Northeast, American cities are generally much less dense. All these factors work against public transit. It's not impossible but it's harder.

As for Amtrak... it's pretty much a victim of a fairly disastrous nationalization. Amtrak shares the lines with freight that can often delay it. Just having the track and the rights-of-way doesn't mean it's easy or cheap to upgrade or replace it for high-speed rail. There's lots of opposition to this for of public infrastructure spending. And so on.

This is one the reasons I miss owning a BlackBerry. I even tried to own a blackberry classic Q20. I even ordered myself a blackberry in 2019 from ebay but later found out my carrier didn't support the voice calling anymore.

Anyways I loved using blackberry less distractions and loved that unified inbox feature and physical keyboard definitely made it look cool.

I heard there are governments around the world still using Blackberrys
I have always been looking for something to UML as markdown to HTML. Any idea? Not text based tools though. PlantUML is nice, but it already feels like coding instead of modeling.
And don't forget that all of that worked within Gmail. It floors me that Google didn't realize what they had when they had it. I used to manage all of my daily communications though one pinned tab that was always open. Heck, half the day, that tab would have its own dedicated computer monitor. Moving to a new service for email, messaging or SMS didn't even enter my mind because it would have been so inconvenient. But now, I'm happy to experiment, because it's all siloed anyway. As someone who has had Gmail since 2004 and a Google phone number since just after they bought Grand Central, there's a good chance I'll be using my own domain for email in a year.
That seems overly pessimistic to me, in the last hundred years we've gone from basically no understanding on a molecular level of the human body to a decent understanding of much of the chemistry of the body, it seems like the next hundred years could conceivably advance to the level where we have a good understanding of even the smallest interactions.
This is also one of the reasons it's a shame that the Google Buzz launch went so poorly. Buzz had the chance to be a social network that worked from your inbox.

We are now at the point that any further attempt to eliminate racism by force comes at the cost of suppressing accurate perceptions of reality. At what point would it stop being worth it to you to get rid of some small additional number of racists if the cost is massive damage to free speech and rational investigation of reality?

Also, are there really "fewer racists than ever" now? Anti-white racism has been on the rise the last few years. I think that progressive dogma now fuels racism more than it suppresses it, not just directly - by supporting anti-white racism - but also indirectly, by motivating a reactionary rise in white nationalism. The growth of white nationalism in the last few years has largely been driven by demographic shifts, but it has also been significantly fueled by progressive anti-white racism.
This is a pitch perfect example of polarization: the previous poster said "there’s too much virtue signaling at work", and now you're strongly implying that anybody who feels this way is a "racist".
I don’t recall. We split it into multiple bundles in hopes of improving speed, but I don’t know the sizes in any case.
35 / 7 = 5

35-7 = 28, 1

28-7 = 21, 2

21-7 = 14, 3

14-7 = 07, 4

07-7 = 00, 5

thus we can see that in essence, division is repeated subtraction in some contexts, especially computationally.

An easy way to count the amount of X that fits into Y is to simply count the amount of times you can subtract X from Y before Y is a negative value
I mean there will be more and more changes to Rust, just like how C++ has had many changes over the years. Rust 2020, .. 2025, 2026 etc..
Assuming a spherical earth in a vacuum... One of the few times that simplifying assumption matches reality.
The presumption that the world can be divided in to "progressive activists" and "racists" probably has a lot to do with the reason people don't want to express diverse political opinions at work.

If, like the other commenter, you're talking about something that happened over 7 years ago, the situation back then was different, as I've explained above. When I talk about how we moderate HN, I mean now and in recent years.

7 years is surely long enough to establish a new moderation policy on a website. If that's really the reason why you're still abusing HN after all this time, I think you should reconsider.

If it's profitable, yes.

Edit: If it's profitable we would expect to see it, not should in the moral rightness sense.
I can remember deciding protocols (actual protocols, not data types) around message sequence diagrams, and a lot of people certainly think around entity-relationship models (yeah, those are UML too).

You will notice that those aren't the design of OO systems that UML was created for, but they exist. Also, there are better diagrams for protocols than message sequence UML, but those don't have good tooling.

Besides those, use-case diagrams are nice too. They also emanate that strong feeling that they don't describe the correct idea (just like message sequence for protocols), but I don't know of a better replacement, just worse ones. People try to replace this one with all kinds of canvas too, but those just bring different problems.
I think we need a unified voice interface for inboxes and actions. Like how to voice command to press series of button deep inside multiple views and enter something then press save.

I don't really care about the article, but I've noticed a very real trend of "unconditionally believe in the product, don't second-guess or ask why we're building what we're building". To me, that's what viewpoint diversity should be about. Businesses always suffer from "but we're already profitable" bias.

I'm sure there's a Wikipedia article for this phenomenon -- where you are making profit and therefore lose the desire to question the product or improve it significantly because you want to continue on your current trajectory.

It's possible to simultaneously be profitable and be doing bad work. The problem is that it is very hard to convince people that they're doing bad work when they are profitable, especially considering that most people are slaves to their equity and salary.

The founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales said this very elegantly[0] "it's very hard to get someone to understand something when their paycheck depends on them not understanding it". This to me, is the enemy of viewpoint diversity. Success is a double-edged sword and makes people dumber than they actually are.

The US should focus on expanding existing commuter service and adding missing routes near higher density populations.

I live hundreds of miles from a prospective endpoint of a massively expanded Amtrak, in a region about the size of the Netherlands, with 1/50th the population. There's not even a reasonable comparison to be made.
The southeast US is not as dense as the northeast, but TN, NC, SC, GA, AL, and FL have 55 million or so people in them, the majority living in or near major metro areas. Connecting those major metros using the existing interstate corridors as the general path, you'd get most of the remaining population within a short distance of this intercity railway. If the metros themselves invested in better intrametro (I'd say intracity, but it would be a misnomer) transit systems that connected to the intercity system it could be effective for the region.
This doesn't seem to be a luxury method of producing general-purpose lumber, but a technique for producing special-purpose lumber. The alternative way to get similar quality lumber would seem to be logging old-growth forests, and in that light this method would certainly appear to be much more sustainable, even if it cannot satisfy all the demand for all kinds of lumber.

Funny, I did some time in law school and legal history (in particular Roman law) was always my favourite part. I've had years of Latin and Greek education and come from a Latin country, so that helps.

But the quasi-universality of Roman legal principles is itself very recent, and didn't start to emerge before the late 1700's, very much in the spirit of statecraft launched by the Westphalian era.
Who says i "don't understand" it? Just because it's an effect doesn't mean it's the explanation. By the definition of gaslighting being pretending you're imagining something that's actually happening, this is exactly what that is. Just because you don't understand gaslighting doesn't mean that everything that you don't understand can be explained away in terms of documented effects. Things happen and you can't explain them...the world and other people's opinions don't conform to some list of effects that you know about.

You know this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26970960

I agree with you that the term gaslighting is overused but that doesn't mean there aren't legitimate uses of it that you can also utilize.
> This percolates down to planners and line workers, and I don’t think Americans are ready for a conversation about full workforce replacement at underperforming agencies.

Why is the same logic not leveled against other institutions, like teacher's unions? Their tenure-based worker protections, unwillingness to be measured on performance, and other negative behavior is exactly what deserves a full workplace replacement. American K-12 schools are funded exorbitantly but the quality of education is absolutely terrible.
I’ll bite :)

If you look at my productive hours for the month, I would say I’m pretty close to 1:1 hours at home vs. hours in an office.

If you look at my hours on a day by day basis? Definitely give less of my hours to my employer than I did when I was in an office.

When I was in an office and I got stuck, I just sat there. I could (and would) half-heartedly work on other things while inspiration tried to strike. But a lot of time, I was just sitting there scribbling on paper trying to be think of solutions to try out.

Since I’ve been WFH (2 and a half years now) if I get stuck, I’ll scribble like before. But I put a time limit on my scribbling. If after 20 minutes I’m not making progress, I’ll go do something - laundry, dust, pull weeds, walk the dog, etc. Sometimes it only takes 10 minutes of not actively thinking to come up with a solution. Other times it might be 2 or 3 hours.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are days where I’ll put in 12 or more hours actively writing code because I’m truly inspired and excited about the solution. When I was in an office, I had hard cut offs because of buses. If I missed my express bus (37 minute commute), I had a 3 bus transfer to get home (2 hour 37 minute commute - yes. I could have done an Uber/Lyft. But didn’t want to pay $40+ for a ride). So I had an alarm set. When that alarm went off, I’d leave regardless of where I was in solving a problem.

So yes. day to day - I “give” less time to my employer. But for the month and actual output, I’m about the same.

N=1 :)

I remember zoho was down because their domain provider blocked their whole domain due to some of their emails getting flagged as spam.
Even when talking about the negative effects of commuting on you and your kids, you frame it in terms of the productivity impact on your employer. Man, talk about Stockholm syndrome.

The thing I hate the most about email is that they allow loading images as a third party resource, instead of requiring them to be sent with the rest of the message data. This allows companies and spammers to track when you open an email.

(They also track every link you click on, but that's a separate issue.)

Strange to me that a blob intensive service (storage) would do a greenfield implementation of an RPC framework using protobuf, which is pretty bad at encoding blobs efficiently (and trashes a lot of memory).

I'd expect such an endeavor to pick something like Google's Flatbuffers, Apache Arrow or something similar. Although to be fair, I'm also guilty of having far more experience with protobuf than other formats.

In real life, the butcher will use the $100 to buy drugs; and the drug dealer takes the money outside of the little town. You can't have that much debt build-up in this society without previous liquidity, and since liquidity suddenly disappeared, injecting it again will not fully fix the issue.

The reserve banking system works. The problem is that once some people in the chain stop making payments, the whole system collapses (liquidity crisis). A bailout by injecting money is basically all the economic players bailing out the defaulters (ie: people who got services but didn't pay for them).

There are many things that can screw your chain: Imports (negative money), Financial institutions making profits from some schemes without injecting the money back (negative money), or your own citizens taking dollar bills outside the country (again, negative money). Injecting liquidity is not always the answer.
Enum values are type checked based on the sum type you define them with. Function pointers are type checked based only on their signature. Also, C does not support partial application, but it does support partially filling out a struct of enum types.

The downside of your second syntax for builders is when you need to add arguments. People will have a hard time remembering whether it's supposed to be addFoo(1,addBar(2)), addFoo(addBar(2),1), or any of the other combinatorially exploding number of possible arrangements as the complexity of the construction is increased. With the OOP design, the values go inside the addFoo(1)->addBar(2) and it's obviously constrained to that one way of writing it. When writing function signatures that are going to be nested I try to keep one type in the arguments and I try to make them commutative (so that it works the same way in any order.) That's not always possible but it helps people remember how to write calls.
