To address your scenario concretely, though, technology advances generally – not just giving the power to destroy, but also giving the power to protect and restore. Covid and mRNA vaccines are a good example – globalization surely contributed to the pandemic, but the creation of the vaccine is also a product of globalization. If a single 14-year-old can create a virus, then thousands of 20-to-70-year-olds can create a vaccine even faster.

I might be wrong about this, but I think intelligence and benevolence are more strongly correlated than intelligence and malevolence, and that as the world becomes more educated, it is also becoming more intelligent and more benevolent. An evil-genius is a trope because it is an anomaly. For every evil-genius there are thousands if not millions of good-geniuses. Evil tends to look like Hitler and Stalin, not Einstein and Turing.

It won't be a 14-year-old that brings the world to its knees. It will be old men (and women, I suppose) spewing hate and lies from their Oval Offices.
Why should anyone mindlessly "believe" the data? Politicians are not infallible, and they are not the most honest people.
I wasn’t meaning to be overly snarky in my original comment, it was also an invitation for you to push back with some references of how you do communicate well with others and your code can be easily be maintained by others. This, I imagine, could be due a few different possibilities. It might be that:

1. You do use common idioms and patters, but you don’t know that you do. Perhaps because you haven’t specifically studied them; you might have just absorbed them by cultural osmosis.

2. You might be good enough at explaining things (and naming things) so that you, like Richard Feynman, can explain the most complex things in common simple terms, even though they are not the industry standard terminology.

3. You always find solutions and algorithms which are so simple to understand that you have never needed anything more complex.

4. You have some other explanation which I can’t think of just now.

Instead, what you said was some variation of “my work speaks for itself” and “do your own research”, which does not inspire confidence in your communication abilities.
They might only have one GPU each but there are a lot more of them, if even half of all people who bought RDR2 complete it that would be similar to 1.5 billion GPU hours of crypto mining (Eth for example).

32 million bought it, takes about 100 hours to complete runs GPU full capacity.

If we're going to say using GPU computing power is bad for the environment then we can't just stop at crypto because it's convenient. We have to look at all computing and videogames isn't something that should be considered essential either.
I have and the truth seems to be that if the miner took good care of the card it will probably be fine. Thats why I said "potential". This is not an acceptable risk when Im spending big on gaming hardware.

edit: just to be clear, I dont have the expertise to check the wear, so it just seems like a bad gamble to me
Neither do people anymore, or at least those who aren't comfortable with that risk, since the vaccine is widely available for all...

If the vaccine works, why in the world do you care who doesn't want to take it?
The iOS client is miles behind their Android client too.

That sounds interesting, what are the exact rules of this game? Are you only allowed to use components that actually existed at the time, or ones that might have existed? I.e., do you have to use a 6502, or can you design a better CPU, using modern knowledge, but considering old fabrication techniques?

I'm really excited about this. It sounds silly but I think being so tied to physical paper is really holding Docs back. I print less than 1% of the documents that I work on and it adds unnecessary restrictions. Docs has a great collaborative editor with enough formatting to get basic semantics across. Furthermore the comments + suggestions for reviewing is best in class.

You used to be able to hide page breaks (with just a small line drawn that could be hidden with CSS) but the pages were still laid out, just the gap and margins were elided. This resulted in weird behaviour when trying to position tables, images and even paragraphs near that break (for example Google Docs would still add a break after a header to push a paragraph onto the next page).

One exception was the Android client (and presumably iOS) which did re-wrap documents for easy reading on a small screen.

Before this announcement I had started to experiment with Dropbox Paper and its mail selling point is that (despite the name) it doesn't care about physical paper at all. Even though there are a couple of nice features on paper (like drag+drop lists and easy paste to link) the lack of suggestions and weak sharing control really make me miss Google Docs. However with this announcement and the departure from this strong adherence to physical paper I have hope that Google Docs will continue to be my preferred option for collaborative digital documents.
I hear ya - it is indeed tiresome. Just as a general thing though, the conversations we have need to move away from 'telling [them] to just do [x]'.

In Britain, a lot of my friends got upset about Brexit and Election Results and said things like 'we told them not to vote for..., then we told them again to vote for...' - people do not like being told what to do. You gotta win hearts and minds. Sure, a lot of the more vocal ones are a lost cause best left to their own demise - but it's still worth it for most.
Nice, thanks a lot!
hahahahaha. okay.
"Countries like the UK are set up to charge officers and prosecutors who violate rights with crimes."

Woah, hang on. I've lived in the UK all my life; I've never heard of a prosecutor being charged. Officers can usually escape charges by taking early retirement; policemen are hardly ever charged with violating the rights of members of the public, even if they kill them.

That is not the UK I know.
> And it notes that with companies getting more serious about diversity and inclusion

For those not familiar with woke jargon, "diversity" means that superficial differences like sex and skin color are very good, as long as there's absolute conformity of thought. "Inclusion" effectively means not saying anything that could offend anyone, anywhere. It's incompatible with free expression.

> break those models and barriers by creating a network that catered to a much wider range of historically Black colleges along with a wider range of institutions to improve the ratios

This is not trying to remove obstacles or amend unfair procedures; this is setting racial equality of outcome as a goal.

These are very backward, very illiberal ideas and should be unapologetically rejected, no matter how fashionable they are right now.
The Fermi Paradox always seemed like an incredibly simple-minded idea to me. So much so, that I don't quite understand how someone as intelligent as Fermi could seriously put it forward.

The idea that life in the universe will be comprised of humanoid-esque beings that have the same perception of time as us, or the ability to communicate in a "language", is just a human-centric idea. It's us, projecting our own worldview (which has developed through millions of years of evolution) on to the infinite universe. This is the fundamental problem with positivism; using your current limited sensory knowledge to construct a complete world-picture.

Even life itself is not a neutral word; it mostly just means "carbon-based entities like those on Earth." Perhaps the reason the universe seems so empty is because we only have the ability to see things like ourselves?

Here's possible link between prison work and government opposition to marijuana legalization:

In 1995, Governor Bill Janklow established a temporary minimum-security unit of fifty male inmates in Pierre. These inmates were deployed on a variety of deferred maintenance projects throughout the Capital complex. That initial effort was a total success and the program was expanded to include all minimum-security inmates. [1]

[1]https://doc.sd.gov/adult/work/

[In 2020] South Dakota became the first state to simultaneously approve legalization of medical and recreational marijuana.[...] Thanks to a legal challenge backed by Noem, the initiative has been blocked, and it may never take effect.[2]

> If you have been creative with algorithms then you will have the fundamental ones in your head.

You can be creative with algorithms without having the "fundamental" ones in your head because you know where to look them up. Therefore, testing the layers; tests for recall and not for those layers. In most situations, these tests only test for short-term preparation.

"Privatized" prisons are a typical distraction from the deeper problems. California's prison system sterilized women as late as 2010, and those were public prisons. The state of Texas saved a little money by pulling inmates' teeth and putting them on liquid diets instead of supplying dentures, and only just started to reverse course in 2018.

Even private actors actively conspiring to exploit people have a hard time matching the sadistic cruelty that the public and the law enforcement apparatus train on those who it has deemed un-peopled — even many of those merely accused of crimes, and not yet tried.

When I was starting college I took an analysis course based on Kolmogorov and Fomin. We didn't work with all sorts of special functions, but focused much more on functional analysis, measure, and multidimensional functions. Later we did Fourier transforms for any locally compact abelian group. What's important in math changes.
> People sick with corona going to events will clearly cause statistical deaths, it's not ambiguous.

People with any kind of cold symptoms going out and mingling also clearly cause statistical deaths, it's not ambiguous. Yet, we lived in a world where people did that routinely and it was left up to parents to protect their children from influenza, something far deadlier than Covid19 for them.

Also, destroying economies, livelihoods, preventing socialization, travel will also clearly cause statistical deaths, it's not ambiguous.

But, I guess, Covid19 means the saint class never owning up to their mistakes.

Beatings will continue until morale improves, I guess.
> I knew I was the only poor person at my tech startup because I made more there than I’d ever made before; a daring amount I had been afraid to ask for during the offer process. I discovered through misadventure that I still made less than any of the executive assistants, or the receptionist. I was, in fact, the lowest-paid person in the building including the interns. I hadn’t known what was possible, so I couldn’t even think to ask for what I was worth to them.

One of the largest issues which would have caused many of the others on the list seems to be that they were absurdly underpaid. So make sure your co-workers aren't making peanuts compared to you?

One of the tactics Nissan ran into big trouble with was their extreme reliance on fleet sales. Fleet sales juiced the profits but killed the used market, thus pushing Nissan's cars down market thanks to reduced resale value. This was an active criticism by investors and journalists during the Nissan down turn.

Meanwhile Toyota is able to charge a meaningful premium because their cars retain value. So I do think it is safe to conclude in the case of cars the effect is real.
That's part of what I was referring to. The analogue-digital hybrid is one of the things that's difficult to replicate with the current manufacturing technology for fabbing new chips.

In my area (Tampa, Florida) firefighter jobs are very desirable and there's a lot of competition for them. They're difficult to land. They're very stable, they give you enough free time that many firefighters have second professions/businesses, some days you don't have to work.

The role of firefighters has also expanded well beyond fighting fires - they also act as medical first responders, and it's required here that firefighters get EMT certified in their first two years on the job, or else they get fired.

So it's... kind of a position with a lot of public trust. I'm not saying I agree with this, but I imagine it would be very bad for a city's leadership if their firefighters went to someone's home for a medical issue and then robbed them.
For some reason, this story made me very happy.
Thank you for sharing.
Why aren't you sure? These seem like straightforward questions for people with a little experience.
That's weird. I thought that VideoCore boots fairly fast.
Especially the ideas linked to package managers and shells make me question why these tools have been stagnant for so long.

Even small improvements in those areas would save millions of dollars and countless hours of frustration.
What a silly gatekeepingmindset. Of course developers coming into a new paradigm are not going to immediately get it. That is the whole point of people being able to learn new things. If a Ruby dev starts learning Elixir and it's a steep curve for them, and they manage to do it, good on them!

Sadly that HN thread is biased toward the person/team that is "leaving" Elixir because it wasn't a good fit for them. For the people who understand Elixir/OTP's strengths it's excellent. We use Elixir for several apps and haven't had any issues recruiting/training people (remote). If we were to chose again we would 100% pick Elixir; nothing else comes close for our use-case.
I don’t see how social media changes this. Life is filled with people who don’t reach out first. It’s not like instagram changes them. The number of direct, meaningful messages between you and them is probably the same, independent of the platform.

Social media facilitates indirect interaction (seeing posts from one another) but it won’t make “Han shoot first” more often.

Stated another way: if you long for others to make first contact with you, social media won’t scratch that itch.

I think smart contracts are here to stay.

However, I'd instead check out Cardano's (ADA) Plutus platform [0]. It's a subset of Haskell as I understand it. They have a online playground to simulate contracts [1].

Cardano also has a ERC-20 converter [2], so expect a lot of projects to also move to Cardano (given the much lower fees and higher throughput) when smart contracts are released in August/September.

That's part of my point. Fiat had decades to stabilise, digital currencies are basically newborns so it's not fair to expect them to pop out already matured and stable.

Unless they don't (or their value is decoupled from meme/insider manipulation that artificially controls their prices), like GME or Tesla.

Who knows about 10 years in the future; Perhaps crypto '10x's, and gamers move to cloud platforms. If the prices should be raised, after some years, the added margin will add competitors and increase the efficiency, thus making chips cheaper in the long-term.

> Protip: never psychoanalyze anyone! This likely applies even to psychoanalysts.

Underrated advice. Psychoanalytics helps with self reflection, not with reading minds.

I can recommend Erich Fromm "Fear of Liberty" these days, because it describes many dilemma we face today. Might be interesting if you can see some effects he describes in yourself or others.

Psychoanalysis should be eaten with a pack of salt though. I think it vastly more fitting to model behavior than what writers from the field of psychology produce these days, apart perhaps from advertisers.

>I doubt that any serious political scientists or historians think that democracy is safe in America right now.

Democracy is never safe, the people can always vote in a tyrant if given an enemy and a scapegoat.

In the US, it's assumed that liberty is unassailable due to the vigilance of America's armed militias and populace, yet we've seen they'll happily support an authoritarian who targets leftists and immigrants and leaves their guns alone.

And as far as anti-semitism goes, it's still alive and well, just not as overt. People talk about "the globalist elites" and "New York liberals" and "cultural Marxists" without realizing how much modern "Conservative" dialogue is just repurposing the dog-whistle terms of anti-Semites. Nazi ideals have been rebranded as scientific racism and fascism as dark enlightenment philosophy. You can literally take the scare narrative around BLM, cancel culture and "the left" and just search and replace "the left" with "the Jews" and most of it wouldn't be at all out of place in the 1940s. People still think /pol/ is just harmless edgelord kids LARPing, and they still argue the Capitol insurrection was just nothing but minor vandalism and memes.

Unlike in the 1940s, the modern framework of hatred is constructed to allow plausible deniability, because we live in a post-Nazim world, so extremism has to rebrand and adapt to survive. The people waving Nazi flags and doing Hitler salutes at rallies are clowns - hateful, dangerous clowns, but clowns nonetheless - wedded to an obsolete model of fascism that flourishes online but is too easily taken down in public. But when tyranny comes to the US, it will come draped in an American flag and carrying a Bible. It will be presentable, calm, rational. No tyrant will need to rant openly about the Jews or other undesirables, because we've all been trained to connect the dots and read between the lines, and we can all pretend we didn't know even when the bodies start to stink.
To me, this reads more as a list of "from outside the valley bubble" signifiers than it does as a list of things that people who've grown up in poverty might do, even if the former was a result of the latter.

There are some exceptions - not noticing missed paychecks is the biggest - but most of it is just stuff that happens every day in other offices.

It's just an acknowledgment of the fact that the system has zero trust in itself. The prison is supposed to produce a functioning member of society. Instead, it can swallow a minor offender and spit out a dangerous criminal.
This is different from being poor in the financial sense. It goes deep into the poor mindset and pscyhology and how it can stick around even after you're doing okay. My parents are working class, I'm an immigrant and I had a minimum wage job for a few years - I've never felt any of the things listed in this article, before or after I was doing okay financially, in or outside of tech.
