There are a few possibilities, right?

- I'm making it up. I'm not, but that would just be taking my word for it twice.

- It's true, and completely random. Seems unlikely.

- It's true, and Scandinavians have a magic low-crime blood factor, perhaps it adheres to the blond gene, next to the lutefisk-appreciation gene. That would be weird, huh? Not necessarily racist, but weird.

- It's true, and Scandinavian Americans have cultural continuity with their brethren in the home countries. That's pretty boring and normal, so this is the one I picked.

- It's true, and due to the Aryan superiority of the Nordic white race, which we must preserve so they can continue to dominate the swarthy people of the world.

You picked that one, not me. I think it's absurd.
>notice how he dismisses Singapore for...reasons

My point wasn't that punishment doesn't deter crime (it clearly does), but that crime rates are far more dependent on social and economic factors.

Singapore and Scandinavia are quite similar in this regard (socially harmonious and prosperous, with a well educated lower class), even though they differ completely on attitudes towards crime and punishment. Both nations have low crime.

America and Brazil (for example) both have a poorly educated, struggling-to-survive underclass whose needs are broadly ignored by the rest of society. Both have high crime rates.

Give me a country with a despised underclass and low crime and I'll gladly concede.
He stopped filling his bag and walked out.

Nytimes did an infograph on political bubbles, ie are your neighbors all Democrats or Republicans? Turns out Republicans are the ones who are less likely to live in a bubble of conservative beliefs.

Occam would likely object to being left out of the conversation. Perhaps there's a more obvious reason for some of the differences in our society.

Without going into too much detail, consider that the millennial generation of African Americans is the first generation in the country's history to be granted full citizenship rights at birth. (The beginning of Gen X was born into a legally segregated society.) Might that have an impact? If you do not believe the impact is material, it would be reasonable to ask you to explain why.

>I think it's a giant mistake to see a workplace as a place where the entrepreneur is a tiny god-king.

It isn't about being a god king, its about people being capable of collectively doing a task without saddling the execution of that task with all of their personal, political and emotional baggage.

>If people want to play-act as robots, I won't deny them their kink. But that's not what interests me about work, and it's not the kind of person I hire.

If people want to play-act as priests of some new secular religion, I won't deny them their kink. But that's not what interests me about work. What interests me about work is collecting a paycheck so that I can pay my bills and have the economic freedom to pursue my personal interests when I'm not at work. The idea that those with whom I work feel entitled (much less obligated) to police my personal interests (that are completely unrelated to my time on the job) is anathema to me. Those are not the kind of people I would hire, or work with.
They state the cause for replication being the "findings" in the papers "are interesting".

It seems like it could be a disguised version of the Availability Cascade. [1] In other words, when we encounter a simple-to-understand explanation of something complex, the explanation ends up catching on.

Then, because the explanation is simple, its popularity snowballs. The idea cascades like a waterfall throughout the public. Soon it becomes common sense—not because of sense, but because of common.

I think it is a matter of preferences. More people would prefer it not be that way than would prefer it be that way. Probably people raising kids especially would rather not have explicit sexual stuff so in-your-face as it would likely be if we didn't have rules and societal standards about such things. I'm personally glad that my seven year old can use a computer and the web without being utterly bombarded with the type of stuff you'll see if you, say, stop over to the Pirate Bay or 4-chan or something. Then again, I'm glad I don't live in Victorian times where it is scandalous if a woman shows a little ankle.

That doesn't mean people would die or that some arbitrary percentage of the population would cross some arbitrary level of unhappiness if it were your way. The world isn't so black and white.

You presumably have different preferences. But you don't get to impose yours on the world just because you think they are better or more free or meet whatever ideals you have. We all kinda get to weigh in, and some sort of compromise is reached.
thank you this was the comment i was looking for hah. although i'm not quitting, i'm continuing to use the already awesome tools we get for free..
It's insane. I had my car broken into, fortunately I don't keep anything in it, so nothing was stolen, but when I called the cops, the basic response was initially along the lines of "Dude why are you even calling?" and when I persisted on filing an incident report, they begrudgingly filed it, but kept dropping hints that this is never even going to get looked at. I mean we have like 5 nest cams around the neighborhood, and plenty of shops also have cameras around, but I doubt they'll even try.

> I wonder if science has some similar vibes: folks theory vs what actually drives it. Maybe the folk theory is "expand human knowledge", but the true machinery is and always has been a complex concoction of human ego, corruption and the fancies of the wealthy, topped with an icing of natural human curiosity.

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn is an excellent read on this topic - dense but considered one of the most important works in the philosophy of science. It popularized Planck's Principle paraphrased as "Science progresses one funeral at a time." As you note, the true machinery is a very complicated mix of human factors and actual science.
Don't listen to them.

The biggest obstacle to blogging is vacillating endlessly about the perfect place to post it. Post wherever it's easiest.

(none of the people who reply to this comment will actually blog regularly; they just like to give advice)
That kind of post brings philosophical questions as well. Do we need to support 7000 languages? Should we? If we take a vision of United Earth a-la Star Trek, should there be support for any script other than “United Earth script?” Is in reasonable or unreasonable to expect countries/languages/people to upgrade their script to more simple/efficient things? Russian alphabet has had some number of simplifications and reductions throughout the history, can the same happen to Mandarin? Bunch of my Indian friends are more comfortable typing Hindi using Latin script rather than the native one. Not because of technical hurdles but because it’s cumbersome to apply all correct modifiers.

In other words, should computers adapt to people here or should people adapt to computers or some kind of mutual movement towards each other with finding a middle ground?

There’s a phonetic alphabet that contains all sounds from all languages (I don’t remember the name). It would be interesting to exercise a thought of a keyboard built to accommodate it and that alphabet serving as universal alphabet for the planet.

I'm not a native English speaker and have always used computers in English. Early computers simply didn't come with language options and still people were able to use them. In fact I find the localized Windows versions odd and contrived.
> I think it's more likely the first time this happens the person is actually guilty, and there will be a huge debate as to whether or not it's a good thing.

No there won't. There have been serial killers who used common apps to find their victims, along with people who rob, assault, harass and stalk people they find on apps. People don't really care. Even the justice system doesn't care because the companies are able to argue that Section 230 means that they aren't liable for what users do with their products[1].

I think in the future, people will start to embrace pseudonymous accounts. People will not share any opinions with their real identities. But they'll do it with their pseudonymous accounts.

This can go further than sharing opinions. People's livelihood will be based on their pseudonymous accounts. It happens already in cryptocurrencies projects. Some accounts who work in these projects are pseudonymous accounts. They can accept payment via cryptocurrencies.

I've rode a few hundred dollars investment in AMD for over a decade, and it would now buy a servicable used car.

The primary logic was "they're too important from a regulation perspective to fail." Even at the worst days of buggy original-stepping Phenoms and sort-of-eight-core Bulldozer chips, the day AMD shuts down is the day every anti-trust regulator in the universe comes tumbling down on Intel.

I suspect it's still a viable theory even today; I can't really imagine Intel being willing to argue in court that the real competition for the future of desktop and bigger computing is things like RISC-V and ARM parts, products they have a history of not competing with effectively.
We can read and hear lots of descriptions for and against. Absent going into the lab ourselves with training, it seems like either could be the case, neither is convincing.
Maybe CT style will prove attractive in the market, but I think Tesla could have designed something more like the Rivian pickup. i.e. F-150 inspired but modern Tesla styling.
> You'd need to convince workers to not believe that someone who says sexist stuff in a book is going to cause a problem for them.

This resonated with me. Anecdotally, I sometimes wonder if small, unpleasant interactions (e.g. getting talked over multiple times in a meeting) have anything to do with my gender (I'm the only woman on my team) or are accidental/benign. I usually assume they're benign because I like my colleagues and they haven't otherwise seemed to think I'm incompetent or weak. It would be hard to give someone like Antonio García Martínez the benefit of the doubt and I'd constantly be on guard, specifically because he's already established that he thinks Bay Area women are weak and "generally full of shit". It would start off as an exhausting work environment even on day 1.
You can check your resolution and HiDPI status by running this:

system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep -C1 Resolution

For example, with my 4k monitor running at 3008x1692 with HiDPI ("retina") enabled, I get this:

DELL P2715Q:
Resolution: 6016 x 3384
UI Looks like: 3008 x 1692 @ 60 Hz

Even with those settings my 16" MBP's idle GPU power usage is only ~8-9W. It makes no sense that enabling HiDPI on a 1440p monitor results in better performance, so this definitely sounds like a bug.

I recommend displayplacer [0] for changing and automating macOS display settings. It lets you set all sorts of configs not available in the GUI. Should be easy to have displayplacer enable HiDPI on a 1440p monitor. And it doesn't make persistent system changes or require disabling SIP (i think?) like that script referenced in the article.

This is what my Mazda does, it's perfect. The big knob does exactly what you describe, where turning the knob scrolls. There's also a small dedicated volume knob that you can push in for mute and left/right to change tracks, and dedicated home and back buttons next to the big knob. All easy to use without looking.
I also see it very often in internal survey open answers as the answer for why you enjoy working here. These are anonymous, there is no incentive to lie.

> I dunno about that. Most people don't really care if their benefits are any good. And I've never seen a single job listing that went more in depth than "great benefits".

I’m surprised you interpreted what I wrote this way.

What I mean is that some individuals cannot afford to leave their job and take a chance, because of the risk that they will not have any coverage whatsoever.

If you or your family member have a chronic but treatable condition such as diabetes, this a life and death decision.

It makes zero sense to give employers such leverage.

Likewise, employers are less likely to cover individuals that will raise insurance costs.

>My wife and I learned there’s some things girls like to do and some things boys like to do.

I don't have twins but I agree with this statement to a point. My daughter loves her Playmobil fire truck to the point that she slept with it a few times when she first got it. Her favorite stuffy was a frog for a while, until she started daycare and then we noticed interest in dolls growing.

I guess what I'm saying is that from my experience, social cues are much more powerful than people often like to think.
Nonsense, the news story here is based on a new scientific paper, which in turn is based on new data. This new data shows that stenophylla can grow in much higher temperatures (6.8 degrees C) than arabica, which is huge news considering the now-certainty of global warming.

Rather than going for the big thing in software, you should probably try to understand what is the area that interests you and spend more time on topics in that area to compound your knowledge. Always going for the "next big thing" in software will help you gain familiarity with a lot of topics but you risk being spread too thin.

That being said, from the HN community I have seen a lot discussions on Rust programming language. Picking up project to learn Rust can be a good idea to be familiar with the latest trend.

It is easy to understand. Think about trying to pedal your bike in the mud with 5mph. You will run out of energy way earlier compared to biking on perfect, flat tarmac with 10mph.

To overcome friction, you need additional energy. The electric F150 comes with ~3.7 gal equiv. of gasoline worth of energy. The gas powered comes with ~25 gal tank.

If we assume 90% efficiency for the electric motor and 25% for the gasoline, you get:

electric F150: 3.3 gal equivalent available to move the car

gas F150: 6.25 gal equivalent available to move the car

The gas-powered stores effectively double the amount of energy, if the two cars have equal weight and aerodynamics, the gas powered will have 2ble range.
I came back to check on comments here.

I cannot believe how poor most of these comments are. It’s unbelievable.

HN used to be a place where educated, well though out discussions occurred.

Now there’s barely an ounce of critical thought.

It’s horrible and sad.

Why? I can only surmise. HN perhaps has gotten more popular, more cool, so has had in influx of more people?

Either that or I’m getting older and the newer generation has lost even more critical thought ability than I’d imagined.

Seriously I cannot believe that almost all comments here are conspiracy minded comments arguing against an article that is simply clear and critical thinking.

I beg and implore anyone reading this to read the following book. Even if one person does and learns better critical thinking abilities, it’d be a win.

For the time being, I feel like I need to step away from HN comments altogether. It ends up being the most depressing part of my day.
> More specifically, this paper is focused on the social sciences.

No, it isn't. It looked at a few different fields, and found that the problem was actually worse for general science papers published in Nature/Science, where non-reproducible papers were cited 300 times more often as reproducible ones.
I disagree. They are paying you because of your judgment and character to do what they want in the best possible way. When employees just go along to get along, that is when company sized disasters happen. You have an obligation to speak up for what you perceive as good and oppose what you see is evil. That is a part of being a professional, it is taking responsibility for the big picture. Why do customers want this, how can we build a sustainable business delighting them and avoid the temptations to take shortcuts that are seductive but short sighted.
All of these will result in much higher prices.
Henry Ford was literally an inspiration for Hitler and other high level Nazis for his stance on 'the Jewish question'. To the point that Hitler kept a large portrait of Ford in his office, and specifically called him out as an influence on his thoughts on Jews in Mein Kampf.

So yeah, he shouldn't get glory, but instead only be looked at as an example of 'how to make a bunch of money'.

The accumulation of wealth only serves as an example of the accumulation of wealth; the opinions of those accumulating are quite often orthogonal to any other consideration.
I thought it was fine really. It forced us to drop some of the quirkier characters sooner. Nobody in the Netherlands uses things like the paragraph sign anymore, or the 'ĳ' glyph. And accents on words are now pretty much optional.
This is also what people do in autocratic regimes. Effectively we have created a "democratic autocracy" by means of allowing mobs of people to steamroll people online and destroy their reputations.
That makes sense to me. If I was hired to work for someone and they were posting stuff on Twitter like, "<my group> people are all pieces of crap," or any other negative generalization, I too would probably sense animus in stuff that I normally let slide at work. I believe that this understanding is at least in large part the source of the protests that led to him being shown the door.

> You look at jurisdictions that are "soft" on crime - Scandinavia, New Zealand etc. and invariably all of them have figured out non-punitive methods of crime reduction that are far more effective than jail.

You're assuming what works for X works for Y as well, without accounting for an insanely large difference between the culture in the United States and those countries. People are very different here, the education level, the moralities of the society, the concept of "I, me and myself first", the economic conditions, the violence, the mental health issues and many more things.

There is a reason why despite having liberal gun laws in Switzerland, there are way less mass shootings than the United States. But what works there won't work here.
UltraEdit was a pure joy to use. back in the windows 3.1 days I could edit files larger than main memory. It was my first encounter with the now ubiquitous tabbed interface. It would hex edit, select rectangular sections, mouse beyond the end of a line, automate with macros. I am sure it did even more that I cannot remember. I should probably go buy a copy just to pay back idm for all the cracked copies that I used back in the 90s.
Note that 3.9 is the first release to not work on Windows 7 anymore, which is still rather widespread. At the same time, to the end user, it offers very little over 3.8.
A guy I know was an assistant manager for Walgreens. He would get called in to pinch hit, sometimes in the less optimal parts of the city. He told me a story about a guy who was methodically hacking his way through the steel shutter they used to close the store at night. They had called the police an hour ago and they had not come. He had gotten a hole in large enough to get his arm through and was flailing about. The police finally showed when he was shoulders-in.

That Walgreens isn't there anymore.

Thanks for the explanation.

But I don’t think that’s a useful way to model political participation. It’s a social activity. Many participants don’t see the time spent on it as a cost. Also, it is possible to multiply your political force by working with others.
It's not good, but it's not bad, it's kind of medium?
