Depends mostly on the terms you choose to evaluate it. Certainly that is one upside, but the downsides are pretty clear as well. Chromium is an open-source base but it is still very much spearheaded and dragged by the whims of Google, and if there is no other game in town they have even less of a reason to avoid decision that might not be in the best interest of users.

Additionally, you lose even more meaningful competition that drives improvement. Obviously you don't lose it all as your different chromium flavors do implement different bells and whistles but those are much narrower in scope.

It continues to be ironic and concerning that Firefox exists at the whims of Google paying to be the default search, but in some ways that helps them with potential antitrust cases as well. I think we have a lot more to lose than gain if we fully collapse into a Blink/Chromium singularity.
It is so ironic that the contents of this course are not viewable without JS activated.

You're too nice, Xcode is an atrocity. Still though, trying to unambiguously parse C++ without compiling miles of headers is not a simple thing... I find my typescript and C# tooling is so much nicer when C++ is the language I need that magic most for. VS is nice but compared to what I get with like resharper or intellij its a bit disappointing.

Not knowing on the same day who won the NYC primary is much more annoying than I thought it would be. I wonder if there is a psychological effect in play here, like lag in a game controller. Makes you feel less like you’re actually in control.
It's more of an issue of organizing and properly prioritizing one's thoughts, along with the irl output being misaligned. This usually results in an incredible amount frustration that gets fed back into the thought loop and frequently causes confusion, which that confusion contributes to the above and can lead to depression and/or anxiety (both in my case unfortunately).

The struggle is more than the simplistic description of "this is not interesting. It bores me", it's really "my brain is uncomfortably overwhelmed with coordinating my thoughts with the tasks at hand to the point of feeling angry/anxious/down/<fill in negative emotion>, but oooo I could just cook a familiar recipe which won't require much thinking and can relieve me of, and potentially help with, this mental situation". It's complicated and requires a lot of "tricks" to deal with it. This is the case whether there are tasks to do, if one is just reflecting in thought, thinking up ideas, conversing, reading, etc... even writing this has taken me 10-15 minutes tbh...
Nothing stops them but considering they've gone the route of "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" after fighting for so long, I doubt they're likely to diverge significantly at this stage.
The problem is that doesn't entirely work for trans women. Hormone therapy during their transition will reduce their performance to the point where they mostly can't be competitive with cis men anymore, while they'll still dominate against cis women.
If it helps, one connection I see is that recommender systems often involve causal questions like: “how will user behavior change if we change the order these results appear in, or if we change which results appear in the first page of results, etc.”. Additionally, since we can only show one ranked set of answers for each query, counterfactual questions also rapidly arise about what would have happened if we had answered past queries differently.
I see what you mean. I would guess that if you asked many people on HN, they wouldn't realize that it was offensive to anyone.

Albany bailed us out, so it retains oversight. But the vast majority of the MTA’s decisions are made by people with boots on the ground.
How is this anything more than passing the ball? Value is finite and doesn’t change so all this can mean is tax the rich to give to the poor. Which still means you have the majority of people spending less than they make because again, value is finite.

Further what system would you replace it with that somehow defied the finite value law? What your suggesting is that $1, or any countries currency, doesn’t represent any value at all and is just arbitrarily assigned a value.
Nice lie.

> Looking at the results, it's a wonder that IRV (aka "ranked-choice voting") gets more lip service than STAR and approval voting. These latter two seem obviously and measurably superior.

They are obviously and measurably superior when you construct a measure designed around their shared features while ignoring the cultural variation in honest ballot marking for these methods resulting from the fact that the ballots for them ask a question that doesn't have an objective relationship to preferences.
Why do you think the journalist don't deserve the dissing, if they do a sloppy job of it. Years ago when Guardian had comments open for most of its articles, the commentary was full of people calling out every single sloppy thing the journalist did in the article, until the present editor effectively banned the criticism of journalists. Journalists could use direct and immediate feedback.

Well some of those are good points but not really. Out of the hundreds of countries with cultures of silence and respect, you can count the “successful” ones on one hand. Semantics? Corruption isn’t the whole picture either. See my other comment. I just say corruption because it’s a pretty good metric of whether or not the machinery of society is functional and rational.

Imagine a spectrum where on one side you can’t say anything that would offend someone or put your immediate interests at risk, and on the other side you blurt out the truth even if you don’t want to.

In the former, corruption is inevitable. Nothing gets called out. In the latter, corruption is impossible. You obviously want to be closer to the latter. Just because you pull up some examples where they are pretty close but not all the way doesn’t really say anything about my argument. But thank you for calling out my hyperbolic use of the word “invariably,” like a good Scandinavian.
ADHD is a very well studied medical phenomenon, which results from physical differences from the brain. When it does apply, getting the right kind of help can be life changing.

And even if it is "ordinary laziness", that doesn't mean that seeking confirmation of it something is ADHD or not is a bad exercise, if you can afford it. The lack of motivation also is a very good sign that the OP is heavily disconnected from their work, and needs to find another job or lifestyle, especially if it's this bad and they don't have ADHD.

If it is ADHD, then you have confirmation of a very helpful community and set of medical and psychological tools that you can apply, and you can ignore vast
amounts of advice that just doesn't work for people with ADHD.

> Do we really need to go to a doctor so that we hear that we have a problem, and we might need medicine, to focus?

Modern society can be very inflexible if you're in the wrong spot, and don't have the ability to explain why the fit is so bad.

Lastly, many people who do have ADHD have been told that they are lazy or haven't lived to their potential their entire lives. They know they don't fit in. They pick over their brains, looking for ways to do better, trying ways to do better. They are, as a population, far more self-examined than the norm. They don't need your doubt, they have plenty of their own.
The Color of Money (1986):

Eddie Felson: "If you got an area of excellence... you're the best at something, anything... then rich can be arranged. Rich can come fairly easy."

If you're one of the best at something, at that point you just need a lever, a platform of consequence to hitch up to and ride. Whether that's being the best toy reviewer on YouTube, or the best podcaster on a giant streaming service, or the best writer on Substack, or the best disc golfer.

I haven't read a lot of ""real"" Japanese literature but supposedly anticlimactic endings are appreciated there. I remember Kafka on the Shore having an especially bad one which I thought was very funny, he telegraphs an ending and then suddenly the book ends before it gets there.

But I do think too much of his writing is about the narrator meeting a series of mysterious women, not paying them enough attention and then pretending it's an ineffable mystery when they leave him. My favorite of his books is Hard-boiled Wonderland, where this doesn't happen. (There's an anime called Haibane Renmei whose plot is 100% plagiarized from that book.)
What a right wing insanity post.
Co-ed sports for kids that train together demonstrate this well. I was a competitive swimmer from the age of 5 to 18. Girls and boys received the same instruction from the same coaches, did the same number of laps in practice, etc. Before puberty, there was no difference in times between girls and boys. At about 10-11 years old, the girls started getting faster than the boys. But at 13-14 years old the boys became faster than the girls. Both of these correlate to when both groups reach puberty.

Why Airbnb Achieved a $100B Market Cap on Its IPO Day
Even if you don't go to the absurd extreme you pushed it to, it still doesn't work. Like, say you rank everyone from 1st to 50th, and then break everyone into five divisions (1st-10th, 11th-20th, and so on).

Then you end up with perverse incentives. The #1 person in the 2nd division doesn't really want to work harder to move up to the 1st division, because they're likely to never get beyond 10th or 9th or so. And the 10th place holder in the 1st division might find it more prestigious to slow down a little to try to take the #1 spot of the 2nd division.

This really isn't as true as it's made out to be. I've done it, and with four dependents in tow as well.

If you currently work for a big company (or really any company with >50 employees if I recall) you can qualify to take COBRA when you leave. Doing so is expensive, sure, but it's really usually about the same price as private insurance but much better (because it's a group plan). You can elect COBRA for up to 18 months, or 24 in some cases.

When COBRA runs out and you aren't yet in a position where you can have the organization you've founded pay for it, you can either look at joining a PEO or you can simply buy private insurance. Yep, it's definitely not great, but it is coverage. Additionally, if you are doing your own thing, look into setting up an HRA for yourself/your company--it lets the company pay for your medical costs without even when you're buying private insurance.

Not sure how to pay for it out of the gate when you might be pre-revenue for a while? You still have a couple of options. First, saving specifically for this use case makes a lot of sense. Even better, if you are currently in an HSA-compatible plan at work, max out the account for the year because you can use HSA savings to pay for premiums. Or if you have a spouse or SO and can hop on their plan for a while, good call too.

In general, and speaking from the position of someone who has spent far more time than I wish to admit building models and forecasting health expenses for when I was on private insurance and doing my own thing, it can be done. The freedom was definitely worth the price.

The forecasts of fossil fuel driven climate change are based entirely on computer models.

We are currently in an interglacial epoch. Fifteen thousand years ago, there was ice a mile thick here in New Hampshire. We have also recently come out of the so-called Little Ice Age. In the early 18th century, it was possible to walk from Manhattan to Staten Island on the ice in New York Harbor, which is abnormal. So, it’s been warming.

The world-wide tropospheric temperature over the last forty years, as measured by satellite, has increased steadily at a rate of about 1.5 deg C per century. That is nothing to be worried about. I hope it continues.

The forecasts are increasingly divergent from reality. At some point, that will have to be recognized.

I am a retired physicist. I don’t have any political ax to grind. I read the papers on both sides of the argument. Mainly, I look at the tropospheric temperature record. I claim that the models are disproven, since reality is well below the lowest warming forecasts and has been for decades.

If the voting public prefers a weak moderate candidate with no agenda, then that's the candidate that should win. I think weak moderates usually flop, though, if there's no particularly compelling reason for people to want that person to be president.

The way I look at is that it's a kind of relief valve. If both major parties (assuming there are two, maybe there'll be more...) nominate not-so-great candidates, then the voters have an option to elect someone like Tom Hanks. I mean, I would have voted for Tom Hank in 2016 if I had an approval voting ballot and he was one of the options.
Awesome. I’d offer any advice but technically this was pretty straightforward. It’s React, Auth0 (see note), Stripe and Contentful with a few Node services to glue the SaaS pieces together.

* So originally we had social auth. We didn’t know how, or if, this would be monetized, but we knew we wanted to force sign up so we used Auth0. When we launched we told to expect 10,000 (maybe) MAU. The weekend we launched we got 250k signed up users. It was all cloud services and we weren’t worried about scale, our one freak out was when we were blowing through our 10k users tier with Auth0 into Enterprise “call us” level on a weekend. Auth0 just let it ride and we dealt with it later.

But Neil passionately despises Facebook and Google so he ended up not wanting to allow social log ins. When he found out 2/3 of our users were on one of those two endpoints he relented. (Of note it was pretty much 1/3 FB, 1/3 Google, 1/3 User/Pass)

He has since removed all Social providers.

seizing != blocking

Blocking sounds like the US is blocking access to those sites from the US. In the same fashion certain countries would censor sites by blocking access to them from within their networks.

Seizing is taking control of the infrastructure (or domain name) to take a site online globally.

It sounds like this was a seizure.
> Canada is FPTP

Yes? I said those 4 examples use different election styles, not that Canada doesn't use FPTP...

> Australian lower house seats are single member aka winner takes all.

>> The lower house, the House of Representatives, currently consists of 151 members, each elected using full-preference instant-runoff voting from single-member constituencies known as electoral divisions (and commonly referred to as "electorates" or "seats").[0]

(And the upper house uses STV with proportional representation)

Winner-take-all refers to

>> a legislative body is elected by dividing the jurisdiction into geographic constituencies, each electing exactly one representative. Although this may result in diverse representation due to different political groups making up majorities of different districts, within each district, only one political party or group will be able to elect a candidate[1]

Yes, I am using more of an Ameri-centric usage of the word (since we commonly use it referring to the electoral college and not local elections), but pointing this out isn't exactly a great rebuttal. The "winner-take-all" definition is vague and a given considering the impracticality of implementing a non-winner-take-all system without a significantly larger number of representatives. Consider that in Australia they do not have greater than a 10% variation of electorates. If we give more seats and apply proportionate seating this is functionally equivalent to just dividing the electorate further and using winner-take-all. Thus if we follow this usage, there is no election that would _not_ be winner-take-all (or making our term meaningless). This is not the system we see in America where the phrase winner-take-all is applied to electorates that are nowhere near uniform. But I apologize for the confusion and hope this comment clarifies my more (American) natural usage of the term.

And if this is why you're throwing my comment out the window I think you missed the entire point and I do not appreciate the lack of good faith here.

> Why wouldn't people support transgendered people able to be the gender they wish and being able to do so in all possible aspects?

Ok, that is a plausible argument. However, it's missing one major component: How could anyone argue that this is one of the aspects or life where it is actually possible to treat someone as their preferred gender? If I had to cherry pick an example of an aspect of life where it is not possible to treat a transgender person as their preferred gender, it would be Olympic sports.

That's probably precisely why they are doing this. They're obviously trying to make a political statement. They want it to be the inspiring event that puts this Olympics in the history books. But I mean... Come on people, there are obvious reasons why this athlete is not going to be remembered heroically for their political message in the same way as someone like Jesse Owens.
There isn't overwhelming evidence, though. Native bird life in New Zealand has dramatically increased in recent years, despite cats continuing to enjoy relative freedom and huge numbers.
Well there’s a difference between high interest debt and just debt. And agreed don’t get into high interest debt to begin with and pay it off ASAP if you do anyway. But avoiding interest all together is a massive oversimplification and shows you don’t understand that cash in hand (and the ability to earn more from it) can be better than a low interest loan. If you make 10% from cash on hand and have 5% loans then you got free money and 5% gains.
Thanks for sharing. I always wondered why that sure was a little peculiar. .. I'll blame it on Neil!
