That's a very practical way of putting it, thanks.

This was mostly a knee-jerk reaction on my part because it often seems to me that in the rush to (rightly) denounce bad policies by the U.S. or other countries against Muslim majority nations/groups, the fact of extremely barbaric practices by some of these groups is just swept aside, like it's okay because they're being victimized. It's still not okay.

Regardless, I concede the point. I'll leave my prior comment up, though, because I can't be alone in these feelings and your response provides more nuance to the issue.

(I assume you mean that by op's argument, we should abolish police)

You make them accountable/actually punishable if they kill someone ?

As to the death penalty, it's a bit different : you need law enforcement, you don't need the death penalty.
You can already do some version of this on social media, no? They post a bunch of content on their life/training, there are ways to monetize that attention, etc.
I value my experience in startups because you learn so much in a short period of time. Meanwhile, in a recent enterprise gig, I had to participate in weeks of debate and upfront planning to add three non-interesting CRUD endpoints to a service.
> Have you looked at the psychology of decision making when poor and struggling? It might open your eyes as to why people don't make the optimal choices (financially or others).

Where does "psychology of decision making when poor and struggling" stop and personal responsibility begin? Can every suboptimal decision be excused because of "psychology of decision making when poor and struggling"?
It highly depends on the startups, not on people personalities. There are good startups where your work will be appreciated, you will bond with everyone, become friends through the difficulties and hopefully enjoy and celebrate the successes. And there are startups where you will see chaos, poor management, bad attitude to employees, pointing fingers and engineers leaving every couple years. Even startup-oriented personalities cannot stand such workplaces.
This is only the 0.0.0 release. I'm sure he will release it for other platforms later in development.

In my experience:
This post was too long, I found the gist that made sense to me pretty low down:

>helps fix such interactions by allowing you to send users a specific page that has all the content you want them to read

There are different approaches to pitches, but in my experience, I want the 'blurb'/core pitch pretty high up.
I looked at the demo and for me a talking head Is an allergy response, of all the videos/meetings I have to sit through.
Some people, I've user-tested this, LOVE to have a talking head screen greet them. So I'm not making a wide statement here. However, I know all user feedback is valuable for a start-up, so I'll go on rambling about my first impressions.

I would want a more website-like experience, such as a clickable menu that makes sense. What I mean is the sections to the right did not show anything that was "attractive": summarizing a positive outcome if I clicked on it.

Again is debatable if this is for the presentation demo or if this has to be addressed through thinking about how the UI and the userUI for building a journey should be more adapted to target user-valuable outcomes.

I would want a chart/mind map overview on the first page and not a full-screen talking head. I can live with 50/50, video and some summary that addresses my needs for pitching, which are:
show a capture page that can give the visitor a quick overview of what pain solutions my product has and how it can be used and integrated into their current reality. That way, they will come back to it and share it.

For now, my reaction is: I should check this out, but I would have to spend time, I estimate 20 minutes, to understand it, and my gut reaction is: I don't have mindspace for this right now. THe presentation did not present the value of the product and the idea so that looking at it further would be clearly not painful.

But I think the core pain identified is very real. I have to make a presentation next week and I dread how much mindspace I have to dedicate to it.

Break all their legs!
Thanks for the feedback. I never considered the "trying too hard" aspect. If I understand you correctly, it might be hard for people to broadcast the fact that they are having trouble making friends. Sorry to hear that the friends from the MMORPG days were temporary. Thanks again for the advice.
The problem with experimental results is that they are difficult to replicate. In software you can "git clone x.git & cd x & make" and replicate the correct or incorrect results. In hardware, it's more difficult.

The main problem is that even if you reproduce their experiment, they can claim that you did some step wrong, perhaps you are mixing it too fast or too slow, or the temperature is not correctly controlled, or that one of your reactive have a contamination that destroy the effect, or magically realize that their reactive that is important.

It's very difficult to publish papers with negative results. So there is a high chance it will not count in your total number of publications. Also, expect a low number of citation, so it's not useful for other metrics like citation count or h.

For the same reason, you will not see publications of exact replications. A good paper X will be followed by almost-replications by another teams, like "we changed this and got X with a 10% improvement" or "we mixed the methods of X and Y and unsurprisingly^W got X+Y". This is somewhat good because it shows that the initial result is robust enough to survive small modifications.

Seriously does nobody think of moderation? I moderate a large sub on reddit and there are local news outlets that allow 4 articles a month and then you have to use trickery to get around the paywall to read the article. As a moderator I need to ensure the articles are related and comply with the rules - you know what I do when I reach the 5th article? For the rest of the month that site gets no posts on our sub.
iPhone 12 has a codename too: D52. It’s just that people reading rumors are not accustomed to dealing with these, even though this is how the device is usually referred to in code and leaked documentation.
Even good negative results? If it's a problem to publish a negative result debunking an award-winning paper, then that is a problem.

I guess it’s still a question of borrowing money for a speculative investment, you just get a significant discount that makes profit more likely.

Thanks! I will give it a try. For context I was playing Pokemon Go at the time and that may be why it was harder.
I don’t think so. Somebody once had to build the houses that they were collecting rent on. Time passes and what used to be value added becomes a simple matter of capital invested or inherited.

I guess you could say that "fake news" is "not true" + "propaganda/flamebait/viral style".

In my opinion this article focuses on the later but not on the former, while using the word for the combination (oh the irony).

Though in that sense I agree that it's not completely useless, as it may be good to strip or standardize the propaganda/virality aspect so one is forced to actually look at the facts.

In "The Economics of Belonging" Martin Sandbu makes the argument that it should be more like venture capitalism. You provide a loan and get some of the upside if it works out but if it doesn't then you share the loss. It would at least keep people more honest.
> I remember a politician complaining about having difficulties with a salary of 6000€/mo.

It depends on where you live.

I lived in New York City for years. If you had a family, it would be hard to live there as on 6000€/mo, unless you had been living in the same apartment for decades. The median cost of a 2-bedroom apartment there is 3000€ a month, taxation is high (federal, city and state taxes), food is wildly expensive, etc.

I hear London and Tokyo are even worse.
This is a huge one, which won’t work in the best startups, but is a great strategy for someone trying to break in —- leverage a position at a cool tech, bad market fit, middling or even failing startup.

When my Mountain View startup disbanded, most of the team dispersed into Google, Facebook, Salesforce, and other large soon-to-IPO companies. Almost everyone ended up in a better place, and many of us would’ve had a hard time doing so before we joined.
Just reporting how widespread the issue was. Don't know why you have to be snarky and rude.
Indeed, the petro dollar has had all kinds of side effects, good and bad. Like any imperial rule, some get crushed by it, but peace and prosperity can be a direct outcome of it as well, and I think this was the case with the American "empire" after the WW2. You can google for "Pax Americana" for more info about the concept.

Excellent reflection on message boards. You are the second person to mention this "joining something that has a friend-making purpose immediately makes it a bit awkward and makes interactions somewhat forced". If I understand correctly, you're saying it's important for people to feel like a friendship can happen naturally, they wouldn't want to feel like the situation was awkward. It's better if things could flow naturally with no pressure.

The judge's job is to make a decision based on the evidence in front of them. The judge has to weigh the evidence based on their training and knowledge.

That decision might prove in hindsight to be incorrect, based on new information or a fresh perspective. The judge cannot be held accountable for that.

We accept this as part of the job, that difficult decisions cannot always be made perfectly within any legal framework, but still need to be decided.

If this results in disproportionate punishment, the system is at fault - the system of laws - not the judge, who was doing their job.

The judge's decision might alternatively prove to be corrupt, in that the judge has been influenced by something outside of their training, knowledge of the law, and the evidence. The judge should be held accountable for that.
For reference, 1971 was when Nixon first coined the term “war on drugs” (after passing the Controlled Substances Act and related legislation a year prior). People love to bring up that website when the gold standard is mentioned, but it’s actually showing a broader trend of the government apparatus being weaponized against the middle and lower classes.

Here’s a quote that summarizes the effect of the time period nicely:

“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

— John Ehrlichman, to Dan Baum for Harper's Magazine in 1994, about President Richard Nixon's war on drugs, declared in 1971.

That’s what the fuck happened in 1971. Then, notice how many graphs actually show an inflection point around 1981 when Reagan started as president, employing Nixon’s Southern Strategy to get elected and then serving those voters with policies that attacked the lower and middle classes (slashing spending on federal aid programs, raising income taxes while lowering capital gains taxes, freezing the minimum wage, raising military spending which is essentially a cash transfer to rich arms dealers, etc). Then throw the Cold War in there, and you have a US government that is in an adversarial position with everyone but the 1%.
Is it time yet? Now I can remember my upcoming meetings
Japanese feel compelled to defend their group because a lot of foreigners impose their cultural expectations on them, and misunderstand the intent behind why certain things are done the way they're done. And because they genuinely love their society/culture.

Never met a single far right Japanese nationalist living there over a year. But nearly all looked at the pros and cons of their society, and felt theirs were better than the list other countries had, for providing a life they wanted to live, and don't care about how those align with other countries interpretation of those things.

Your explanation is one I've often heard from people whose main Japanese friends are the "far left" who have spent significant time living outside of Japan by choice, hardly a group that could be said to represent the average Japanese person. Most Japanese also just find emotionally charged complaint to be disrespectful, even if it's not about Japan. There's a lot to learn about the nuances of their culture, a simple explanation is usually very incorrect, and might not even be a contributing factor.

Curious to hear where your explanation of vocal right wing neighbors comes from.

You generally can't shot them right off the bat, but in most places you can use non-deadly force to defend property, and if the thief responds by threatening you with death or great bodily harm, you can then use deadly force.

In some states, if you reasonably fear that using non-deadly force to stop someone from committing arson, burglary, robbery, or felonious property destruction would put you in danger of serious bodily harm, you can skip straight to deadly force.

Here's a summary from Eugene Volokh [1].

They don't because houses don't produce income (unless you rent them). So if you had your house when you could afford it but cannot anymore you get made even less wealthy with the property taxes. Taxes should be proportional to income. There should be a more fair way to do that: to not tax main house when in use, tax only at the time of sale on benefit only (corrected by inflation).

> The author likely comes from a structured, religious background and prefers the “certainty” of a corporate environment.

I'm a practicing Catholic and have worked either as a freelancer or a startup founder for >90% of my career. Not sure how you're drawing that conclusion but plenty of my peers are religious in a traditional sense and work in startups.
I did it, took a lot of risk and it has paid off somewhat.

I chose to work at an early stage startup, in my home country (which is known to be adverse to entrepreneurship), in a very monopolized market, even though I could’ve easily moved abroad and joined a big company.

Despite all the odds it worked out for me financially and I’m proud of what we achieved, but I realize it was basically gambling.

My advice is to take a shot at it if you’re young, but try to aim on ambitious startups so you can balance the slim odds with huge potential upside.
You put out some of the good points, agree to it,especially the last line!!
> think the worst kinds of people create a false dichotomy here where either everything is choice or everything is a product of externalities.

> But within their context they are likely to have better outcomes than people who externalize credit/blame.

I think you're interpreting "choice mindset" in the context of this article differently from how it's meant.

Poor people understand very well what it means to have to make choices. They know quite well that their choices impact their lives, and how. That's part of the psychological violence the poor experience, in fact: their choices are often of the form "which harm do I visit on my family this week?" Your comment about the false dichotomy captures it, partially: the wealthy imposing/projecting their view that every condition is the result of a choice made by the individual. Poor people generally don't believe their entire lives are a product of externalities, but the rich certainly do believe it's all about choices.
"[...] a place for civil discussion but if you get kicked out [...]'

That "but" is the dividing line. As soon as you cross it you've left civil discussion. (And become the asshole who needs to be ejected because of it). Most times, especially in political debates, its caused by an inability to tolerate a diverse range of views, including those you don't agree with. Polarisation overwhelms this ability even further.

"Diverse" is an overloaded term. Its not always loaded with emotion or about oppression. Diversity of opinions is useful. Tolerance of that is important.
This doesn't add up to me. According to an article on Twilio the acquisition was ~$3B.

I've worked at several startups. If you are new to stock options, I think that the different ways those options can work and be diluted is the hardest part to grok. Personally, I never had to 'take a haircut in comp' to work at a startup, but I've had bad stock deals.

I would say that each of my startup experiences had some dark times, it wasn't always easy by any measure. At the same time, each of those experiences provided a lot of personal growth and opened other opportunities for me.

Not quite. What they chant is roughly equivalent to "down with". On the other hand, the US has damaged Iran so much that you can't blame them for being very angry at it.

More competitiveness necessarily implies more frictional unemployment. You can't have one without the other.

Exactly. There isn't an agreed upon objective basis for what qualifies as 'essential'.
