>I'm sort of unclear where you are goin with your argument?

The argument is that its magical thinking that the earth, which has finite resources, can support an infinite number of people, if we only, "manage the resources right". Its a question of reality, not morality, but unfortunately some have a hard time separating the two concepts.

> Are you arguing we need to kill of people or economically retard developing countries energy use? Neither of those seem reasonable stances so I am left wondering what you see as the path forward and what value you see in advancing your argument.

Nobody has to be killed off, but what we should be doing is setting as a goal sustainable population levels in the future through reproduction. This isn't to suggest people should be prevented from having children, but that our policy goals should incentive having fewer children. Right now are policies are the opposite - we offer subsidies to people to have children. What if we offered subsidies to people who didn't have any children?

Of course people will inevitably raise the straw man economic argument, "we need more young people to pay for our older people". The fact is that we have a glut of unskilled labor that is only growing due to automation and increased overpopulation. The unsustainability of our debt-based economy is, unfortunately, not a function of population and will have to be reckoned with on its own.
It's just regulatory arbitrage.

What uniswap is doing is quite likely illegal under current laws.

Based on what I followed from Twitter, that senior employee is the one who regularly posted articles from Breitbart to the internal thread that was deleted.
Didn't we already know this after a few days/weeks of the accident? The kind of analysis here might be new, but is it actually providing more data? And is it possible that the accuracy of this method has been improved by the developer knowing what the correct answer needed to be beforehand?

"Politicians and activists" obviously didn't politicize masks. No coherent reading of the last 2 years supports that conclusion.

It was the screeching Republican base, who decided on day one that the masks were a symbol of government overreach and I guess got Covid to own the libs.
I think you have an agenda and you're shading the story to fit your narrative. I would bet that other people would describe it differently.

I notice you didn't reply about the name-calling.
At this rate we'll need to give kids weekly throwaway identities akin to how we use throwaway email addresses and throwaway social media accounts.
I think this is only true if you create a workplace environment that encourages this. If you micromanage your employees with metrics, they will adjust their behavior to maximize the metrics, and you will know exactly what they are doing (but not if they are doing what they should be doing).
In the grand scheme of the world definition of lower income, no. I haven't looked too deeply into it, but apparently 3rd world countries have as much or more sex, but have less access to birth control.

In the context of "first world lower income", I'd wager there's a loose correlation. i.e the incel movement is one mostly formed from a frustrated lower-middle/middle class (which in the world context, means many americans for the sake of discussion). Another comment in this post heard something similar as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27041400

I'd be interested in any studies that disprove this notion. I'll admit most of this comment is conjecture.
Casey Newton is at least partly responsible for this. Before Basecamp "blew up", he wrote two articles that people argued about for days on Hacker News and Twitter. That absolutely must have heightened tensions among the Basecamp team.

Ill seriously argue this.

The issue is that when students are "learning" "cloud", they are not really learning cloud as much as following tutorials to click together turnkey solutions. Dynamo DB, ElasicSearch, and whatever else are all business-oriented, quick to set up services. And such, these services are hiding what is going on underneath, with the expectation that the company will cover the costs of whatever those services run. This is a standard buisness practice.

If you want to learn how to put together cloud solutions with those technologies involved, you don't even need an AWS account. All you need is a decent laptop or a desktop, with docker or VM software, where you install everything yourself and learn how to configure it (since all of the software is free), do all the networking yourself. This is what actually learning the cloud involves and translating those skills to AWS is very easy.

Perhaps the blame is on the universities and/or tutorials that push the students towards creating free AWS accounts, but regardless, there should be some incentive to takes one profession seriously so you don't end up making this mistake in a company that will not have protections in place that people want for free tier. And money is as good as incentive as any. Id rather people be smarter rather than treat ignorance as a standard and put blame on others for not expecting people to be ignorant.
Can't wait till it is feature complete and CRA and Nextjs embrace it.
> It's the one with the fewer externalities. Forcing an unhappy couple to stay together can traumatize children, produce widespread violence (another one of those things that were kinda just "accepted" in the past), and even end up in murder.

Two-parent households is a very well studied subject. The outcomes for children are better in almost every category with few exceptions.

Splitting in an acrimonious marriage may be better for the parents, but the data says it’s worse for the children.
Perhaps a billing fee?

It would be cool if you could store floating point (or double precision floating point) values in some sort of pseudo-type where you want to ensure that you have at least this much precision, and any time you insert a new row into the db table, if any of the individual values exceed the configured db max precision, as specified in the initial migration, or explicit table creation, it just automatically creates a migrated to bump the precision, (in Django you have 2 required fields for a decimal, it's like "max digits" and "precision" iirc)

EDIT: like an expandable floating point type, where as you increasing the needed max_digits, you just have this implicit migration that occurs. Idk this is super half/quarter-baked but just going off script a bit
SWIFT is essentially a system for structured authenticated bank-to-bank messages in which pretty much every worldwide financial institution participates - in some ways a glorified email (though with structured fields), but with sufficient security assurances that if you get a message claiming to be from the First Bank of Nigeria (FBNINGLA) "pls do XYZ with USD 100 million kthxbye" then you would actually consider it to be sufficient authorization to execute that request. You still might wait until actually getting that money from them though before passing it on, counterparty risk is a thing, but you can assume that it's actually from them and whoever is sending has the authority to act on their behalf for huge amounts of money.

If Russian institutions can't participate, it means a disconnection for the majority of international financial communications, preventing Russian banks from directly interfacing with all the thousands of banks worldwide - they will have to establish a bilateral communications protocol with some specific partners/correspondent banks (perhaps they have something arranged already) and have someone else handle the international transactions on their behalf. That's not totally devastating, but a pain in the butt, extra expenses, extra delays and extra risk for all those transactions.
Its significant because the US has a virtual monopoly over global banking with the SWIFT system, which is used to impose sanctions and punish our perceived geopolitical foes. The use of the SWIFT system as a cudgel has led other countries to develop their own, competing SWIFT-like systems that would not be controlled by the US. Russia, China and India have been signaling their future adoption of this system for several years.

I really tried not to take the bait here, but come on, dude, that last bit was especially rancid. You do get that we’re real human beings with rich internal lives like everyone else and not shallow, opportunistic crossdressers, yeah?

I’d be mortified if I worked with someone who thought like this, and I’m glad I don’t.
> shock-and-awe guerrilla tactic…that alienates rather than invite collaboration

That’s a good point, and I’m not sure I have a good answer to it! I believe rhetorical guerrilla warfare is an intentional and important tactic. My gut tells me part of the goal is precisely to make me and others like me feel uncomfortable: I generally have the freedom to not feel alienated, but that’s not a privilege afforded to vast swaths of our society who are historically disadvantaged. I can only imagine the alienation I would feel as a Black engineer—but as a White engineer, I feel right at home on my team of other White engineers, and alienation is something I can just choose to walk away from. Not so for others…

Still, I know that’s not a satisfying answer / response to your comment. You’re right that feeling alienated doesn’t make me more inclined to have open minded / collaborative discussions, in general. But given the structural imbalances at play, I emotionally feel that the graceful and “right” way for me to engage is by listening despite my discomfort, as a tool for learning the perspectives of others not just theoretically, but experientially.

:shrug: None of this is easy…but it’s important to me to pursue mutual care and understanding with as much good faith as I can muster, even when it’s uncomfortable for me.
This might be a bit pedantic but it seems that this article is arguing against business as a technique for ensuring increased efficiency, it isn't arguing against efficiency itself. This post's whole ethos is that slack creates higher efficiency due to an increased reaction time from workers.

Feels a bit too close to “fake news” for my comfort.

Anonymous sources are the norm in all kinds of reporting; there is no real reason to be surprised that no ex employee is volunteering for the kind of harassment that signing their name to this story would draw in, especially now that Breitbart and a variety of alt-right grifters have decided to take big, public pro-Basecamp and anti-“woke” worker stance. It’s easy to say “if it’s real they would say so publicly”, but honestly the vast majority of us here, myself included, would not do so if it meant getting harassed by the Breitbart crowd.

This of course does not mean that this is real. Just because I could imagine myself being an anonymous source in such circumstances does not mean that such sources exist. But in this case we can be savvy media consumers and look at the official pushback from Basecamp and those named, and the pushback is incredibly small in the number of contested details. Singer corrected literally one quote on the record. This implies to me that Newton is largely on the money in terms of factual events.

Also, the flip side is also true; we don’t seem to have a lot of current of former Basecamp employees coming out to defend the company and decry these articles as being wrong. Instead we have ... silence. Now everything I said above about wanting to be anonymous is still true for these hypothetical people as well, but if you’re going to complain about the lack of people on the record attacking the company, then surely the lack of people defending the company (executives excluded, natch) on the record should also be a data point, should it not?
You have in good faith attempted diligently to have a zero purchase. You cannot even find any purchases. In that case they have reached into your pocket and taken money without your consent. That is just a fact. By mistake? It's being short changed in a shop at the absolute best.

This is not a mistake any company should be able to afford to make. Ever. Under any circumstances. If it really is "just an error" they need to making amends in a very public and obvious way that is clearly expensive to them to show good faith.

But we don't get that. We have to fight from a position of being in the wrong when we have money taken from us by these fraudulent practices to overturn them.

It is necessary to go HARD at the morality of "accidental theft" because it is so prevalent and because all these companies clearly don't consider it a detriment to their reputation.

You've been diligent. When does it become their responsibility to not reach into your pocket when you clearly don't want that. Or anyone's pocket. I'd bet quite a sum that where there is one there is many.

Yes, and people keep saying this, and people keep being confused by this.

I don't understand why people are so resistant, or even outright hostile, in making the social justice movement (including the sentiments BLM expresses) more effective. If you truly care about social justice then being as effective as possible should be the #1 priority, no?

I don't care much for BLM not because I don't care about their goals, but because I don't think it's very effective for a number of reasons. Yet every time I raise this it's either dismissed like your comment does, or met with a surprising amount of hostility. Aren't conversations on how to best affect these kind of changes super-duper important? It appears not, and it seems BLM has become the goal, rather than the vehicle to get at the goal.

How do you avoid being framed as “us vs. them” when you are being openly called a white supremacist?

What you’re describing is “appeasement.” Presume they’re operating in good faith and that maybe they’re kind of right. So you cut a compromise, and sure enough, the white supremacy is still there! And what do they recommend? More appeasement.

I agree it was a management problem, but the problem is it wasn’t identified and nipped in the bud sooner.

> The Hutus and Tutsis didn’t start with some off-color ribbing and escalate from there

Perhaps it didn't "start" with "off-color ribbing" but the usage of 'jokes' (see: Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines) to desensitize people to hatred towards the Tutsis is well documented.

It was unpopular to speak out against this sort of thing, and certainly was something that got worse over time.

Further, racial violence in the Americas didn't start with jokes either, it started with the genocide the Indigenous peoples of the Americas and continued with the trans-Atlantic slave trade ...
Humor has a long history as use as a coping mechanism for difficult situations.

Both hypotheses are extremely difficult to prove or disprove and most likely, neither is strictly true. Human society is complicated / varied and I find it quite possible that there are times where hatred progressed both directions on that pyramid. There are also probably times where good natured blowing of of steam help prevent difficult situations from devolving and times where it inflamed hatred.

I don't understand what would make one theory "ex post facto" and the other not since both have similar temporal positioning...

But I don't think the point was to justify the jokes, I think the point was to call into question the epistemic justifications.

So you're saying that delegating the suppression of people's fundamental rights to corporations is a hallmark of a fascist state, even if those rights are technically not protected by a written law when attacked by corporations as opposed to government?

Last month I woke up to an amazon alert that our usually $5000 monthly bill was $125 000.

I wish it wasn't possible to rack up such a bill by accident so I don't have to worry.
In the sense that they are ultimately responsible for the business/brand, legal repercussions, etc. It's their baby - Jason's run it for 20+ years. Seems like they're effectively saying, by all means push your opinions on your private channels, and we'll do the same. Obviously if someone feels it's handled poorly, they bail (as some have), but I'm guessing the severance and political polarisation could be factors there?

If I'd founded something 20+ years ago (well, I have), and at some point a third of the business was putting work time into deciding HR policy that was alienating other staff, I'd be looking at resolving it too. I've worked for myself for 20+ years so can't be sure, but I haven't heard of anything like that equality-council from any friends working here in Australia. This situation might be more unique to current USA?

> Not necessarily. Before the EPA, states would often put their toxic dumps close to the state line, where the winds and the current would take their crap into the next state. Incentives only work if there are no externalities (sticking someone else with the bill).

The answer to this is to let states sue each other in federal court for any pollution that crosses state lines. Not companies in the states, the states themselves. Then states can prevent that from happening however they like, but if they don't, the state itself owes the neighboring state(s) billions of dollars. Strict liability. And then you don't need any federal regulations telling anybody how to do it.

And if you actually employ someone who perpetrates violence or harassment, then it really doesn’t matter whether they were prompted to do so by a list of names intended as a joke.

That person (a) needs help and (b) probably shouldn’t be kept as an employee for the safety of your workforce.

I kind of can’t believe we live in a world in which we can’t acknowledge that keeping a list of funny names is disrespectful to our fellow human beings, without then jumping to genocide as the justification for why we shouldn’t do this (and subsequently implying anyone who advocates otherwise is this pro-genocide).
