>And all that leads me to wonder: how much unhappiness about the structure of a given relationship stems simply from its deviation from society's stereotypical model of what an ideal relationship should be?

My opinion: less than we think.

Plus, the ideal stereotype is usually there for a reason.

We're social animals. A broken bond is a broken bond, whether it's with parents, community, friends, or our own family. We can pretend that we're fine, but then we don't get to be a society full of self-reported depressed people, with great levels of psychological brokeness, addiction, and so on, and have a big majority lamenting how they are "so lonely".

South Africa was doomed by apartheid. Democracy doesn't function if you have an uneducated populace. They were uneducated because of apartheid policies.

It will take many generations for that stain to be undone. Leaving the policy in place was untenable for humanitarian and practical reasons. Simply repealing it and giving the vote to everyone was also untenable. It was a lose lose situation and the only good solution was and remains to leave while it's still possible.

South Africa is an extreme case of how investment in education (severe underinvestment in this case) is strongly correlated with the future prospects of a nation.
Yeah, my pet theory is that there were two major shifts in human societies: nomadic to settlers and barter to money - everything else is details.

Do you explicitly try to keep it all green, like a "Don't break the chain" habit tracker?

I can imagine committing code nearly every day, but what with the occasional travel day, sickness, etc, there would always be some holes, unless keeping it green and making at least one commit was explicitly important to me.

As a software engineer, the fact that the elevators in the office don't have an up-peak mode in the morning and a down-peak mode at 5PM drives me up a wall.
Scott Adams book "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big" touches on a similar theme, "systems vs goals". Have a system that takes willpower out of the equation - so you can do simple repetitive tasks everyday, to achieve big things over time.

A goal might be - lose weight! But a system might be - batch cook steamed veg with some healthy condiments, and eat that only during the day by having it always within reach.

By having a system for preparing easy, health food, you compound the effect instead of having a seemingly impossible intimidating goal that you keep putting off.

Other stuff that resonated with me were doing things that keep your personal energy as high as possible, stacking skills (be in the top 25 percentile at multiple things), and the idea that your brain is a moist computer that you can actually program in a desirable direction. The book really resonated with me.

I think it's still worthwhile even if you don't have "success". I spent about two years steadily cranking away on a side project almost every day. At a certain point I realized, "Whoops, this isn't going to work," and just stopped. I had hit a dead end. Was that two years wasted? Nope. I taught myself a huge amount of stuff about data structures, functional programming and application architecture in the process that I wouldn't have had the freedom to try in my real job. I learned a lot from the mistakes that lead to me coding into a dead end, about how to validate ideas more quickly and cheaply. It was a "failure", but the lessons learned have proved to be hugely beneficial in other projects. The payoff was far greater than just personal intellectual satisfaction.

Thanks for the breakdown. I like the idea of something we can remove more easily down the line, even if it’s more expensive. I suppose we probably won’t have the luxury, though.
Data residency absolutely makes a difference, and I find it stunning that people don't see it.

Ok, so you decide to store your nation's sensitive data in another country, $nation. If things get awry, there is a (pretty remote) risk that $nation will break your encryption. But there's also a much less remote risk that $nation will simply block all connections from your country and prevent you from accessing your own data. How do you deal with such a threat?
> My parents were far from perfect, but they loved me and did their best

Not all parents do that, when a divorce happened at least one of them thought that as well. The thing is: not everything is abuse but things can still be bad enough as also pointed out in the article. That's when you call it toxic I guess. It's this fuzzy new word to describe some hard to grasp behaviour that is maybe only so hard to grasp because it's that outlandish. One time I was with my sister and my father on holiday - my mother gave us a cell-phone so we could call in case he would abduct us. In any case, my mother was completely overwhelmed with raising 2 kids and cut some corners. Also my father did his best to put pressure on my mother, mostly financially. (He moved far away and blames anything bad that happened on my mother or me) And the list goes on. My sister is completely unwilling to talk about any of this. My father is like described in the article saying I'm rewriting history and having a complete lack of empathy. Is this abuse? Probably not, unless you go with a crazy strict definition. But toxic for sure. What upsets me the most that this is just some really fuzzy stuff that happened, I cannot pin-point any isolated root cause. So to come up with a reasonable explanation why I chose estrangement, I would have to tell quite a long story and some details are too personal. Still I'm much happier now.

Please cite the exact laws that we ought to apply to social media companies and do touch on how the application of said laws will avoid infringing on these companies civil rights.
Are you sure? Because there are more lessons that I have seen people learn from their parents...

* no one cares about your opinions or ideas,

* no one has any actual affection for you; they only appear to when you have something they want,

* in a choice between your physical or mental well-being and their short-term happiness, you take a rather distant second,

* and then you die.
People have fundamentally different worldviews. Some people refuse to accept anybody having nice things unless everybody can have them. I personally don't care for dragging everyone down to the lowest common denominator, I'd rather focus on helping bring people up where feasible.
Yeah, it's pretty clear the fine is about not obeying the court.

But I was asking why the court was forcing them to re-instate a video in the first place.
Right this is the entire point about how crossing the line poisons the well.

Which is why they would have to be very clear that their policy is to only respond to legal orders for takedowns and nothing else.
> "Lots of people are massively fucked up and still have kids anyway, either accidentally or otherwise. And then their kids are put at a massive disadvantage in life and in human relationships."

This is an interesting one, and in direct contradiction to the adage: "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”

My life experience agrees, tough times mostly produce emotionally damaged people
Never worked in a bank? Never worked in defense?

I'm speaking from real experience too. It takes a while to open firewall in some environments, if you ever can.

One bank was the worst. There was a super stringent process to expose things externally. Opening the firewall port was just the beginning and that'd take 2-4 weeks if all goes well.

You'd struggle like hell to expose a SMTP server though because it would be immediately be rejected and flagged based on the port. Banks have to store, monitor and ensure the origin of all emails, they don't allow shadow email servers. And it's plain text so more reasons to ban (also a problem with HTTP, you should do HTTPS if anything).

Defense was simpler, mainly because there was no external connectivity in many cases. You don't need to worry about how to open a firewall when there's none :D

My issue with this idea is that that it doesn't take into account time.

For example, theoretically there could be a way to harness the energy of the Sun with a Dyson Sphere, but there's a minimum amount of time that will take:

- Our neurons fire at "X" speed, and there's a minimum "Y" amount of things we need to think of before we can build one.

- Light travels at 299,792 km/s, but there's a minimum "Z" amount of things to be seen, or computed and/or moved before one can be built.

- We can harness "N" amount of energy per unit time right now, but there's a minimum "M" amount of total energy that will need to be invested into building one.

I think we can all agree a Dyson Sphere won't appear around the sun tomorrow, or next year. There's a theoretical minimum amount of time, dictated by the laws of physics, for one to be built: and this will be the minimum amount of time it takes to make one even if we achieve maximum efficiency.

This applies to all human development, so IMO the question really isn't "can we figure out how to build X" but rather "how long would it take to build X". Things like fracking do sound like low-hanging fruit compared to the things we'd have to invent in the future to keep the status-quo. I'm sure theoretically we could invent a lot of things, but as we run out of the low-hanging fruit, can we invent them in time?
Sure they are. The popularity of one website does not diminish the availability of another website. The popularity of YouTube didn't prevent tiktok from also becoming popular. Using one website does not make it more difficult to use another website which is why literally everybody on the internet uses multiple websites. Not everyone uses FB, twitter, or reddit, others use some combination of them, some use all of them, others none of them, this is entirely the result of free choices made by individuals.
I got to play with a dev kit IRL and they are super impressive up close. The images have real depth and the development environment is standard Unity with just an HDMI out to the display. That being said, the usable field of view is not 180, it's narrower than that. And after building a few nifty demos, we put it on a shelf and never figured out a way to make it useful or interesting.

Could you elaborate? There's Azure AD, or you could do yourself a massive favor and not use AD at all. And like... why would you want AD and an intranet but not someone to manage it at all? Recipe for disaster.

The simplest solution to this problem, by far, is to just avoid it entirely. Don't have an intranet. Don't manage AD. Just don't do those things.

Pick an identity provider, pick a file sharing service, pick a video chat service, and set up SSO for them. It's 0 maintenance, far safer, and far easier to use.

I am not a religious person or church goer, but are the perspectives really that different? To me, it looks like a church is a self selected group of geographically proximate people who tend to look alike and dress alike. You don't usually see much ethnic diversity in a church photo.

It's more diverse than sitting at home, but I think exposure to a few TV shows has more diversity of thought, ethnicity, sexuality, etc., compared to going to church.

I'm not saying its bad for people to get together and talk. I see that church was an important mechanism for this in the past. However, I can't get past the negatives (supernatural belief, child abuse, kowtowing to authority, shame, ostracism) to believe it will continue to be a net positive.

What we need is more of what I think the Unitarians are after - non denominational community.
This "platform vs publisher" thing is a myth based on a misunderstand of how Section 230 works. The law doesn't actually distinguish between the two.
Right, that part makes no sense at all to me. Even if the ToS did not include a fitting clause for the misinformation removal I see no binding right for the user to have his video hosted. That's why I added the tangent about the political environment in Dresden.
Reciprocal obligation is the key. I've heard people spin it so that children owe their parents an infinite debt that justifies anything, but that is not reciprocity. Reciprocity means equivalent behavior on both sides. People get a chance as adults to discuss what happened in their households as children, and some people find out that their stories are radically outside the norm. Usually all they want is some acknowledgment from their parents that mistakes were made and it wasn't ideal. Denial and justification are the things that trigger estrangement. Or continued exploitation: people who cared for their drug-addicted or otherwise needy parents for years starting in childhood and decide that however much their parents still need them, they have to separate themselves from that pathology so they can have their own healthy life.

Not everybody wants to share details, but I've heard enough stories from friends that I'm shocked what people are willing to forgive from their parents. I shared one story in another comment -- that person has a close relationship with their parents despite it not being a very positive one. Another friend of mine, who is queer, grew up with a father who would frequently say things like all gay people should be executed, they should be locked away from decent people, doctors should have let AIDs finish the job, etc. This person did cut off contact with their parents a couple of times but eventually heard sincere apologies and regret from their father and reconciled. That was almost twenty years ago, and now they speak lovingly of their parents and are helping care for them as their health declines.

Really it comes down to two questions: forgiveness and continuing harm. In my observation, adult children are not stingy with forgiveness for their parents. Not everybody can forgive everything, and it can take a while (I wouldn't bother asking until the kids are at least 25, maybe 30) but people forgive their parents for things they would never forgive anybody else for. They also tolerate a lot of continuing harm for the sake of maintaining the relationship. They draw a sharp line when it starts to affect their own children, directly or indirectly, and I think it's good for everyone that they do so.
I don't see why Trump should be above the terms of service that all other users have to abide by.
I'm not sure it is contradiction, both the strong and weak alike can be emotionally damaged. Many see dictators, or want to be dictators as strong men, yet they are often obviously damaged people.
That's actually pretty insightful (and more interesting than the usual "kids these days grrr" flavor this subject usually takes on)

I could see this being a "pick two" scenario:

1) Low visual noise

2) High visual legibility

3) High density

The industry used to pick 2 and 3, now they tend towards 1 and 2, but it may genuinely not be possible to have all three
Excluding things like zero-day exploits, the biggest problem with allowing any unencrypted traffic is cache-poisoning.

This was noticed when a Google engineer went on holiday, and stayed at a hotel with dodgy Wi-Fi that copypasted ad scripts into anything that looked like jQuery. Said engineer realized that his laptop was still getting hit with the hotel's ads for months afterwards, because it had managed to poison one of those "JavaScript CDNs" that a lot of other sites use.

This is, of course, an attack - a hotel that can get an ad script onto arbitrary sites by rewriting one unencrypted request can also add a script that, say, siphons information off of any other site it got included into.
Yes, it is interesting that there is a mental shift involved that took getting used to. Churchill famously worked standing up.

I think making sure all the physical/mental tools are available comfortably, e.g. multiple monitors, spend a lot of time on ergo considerations (you should be tiling your head slightly down when viewing content), gel rests for wrists for typing/mouse, padded gel floor mat to reduce foot stress and force more micro-muscle adjustments in your legs.

It takes getting used to, but now I can do the same sitting or standing.
> The "marketplace of ideas" is a fiction that has long since been debunked

I don't think it's been "debunked" as you say. Provide evidence. A few examples is not evidence to make such a blanket statement.

> The best ideas arent the ones that win out, it's the loudest ones and the ones that appeal to our most base emotions that win.

Again, very much disagree with this. If you look short term that may be true, but long term historically speaking at least that has not been the truth.

>"I think that there's some misunderstanding of what the "rights of man" are, and where they are set." and "Who or what gives you these rights? As far as I can tell, it's only granted by the constitution and amendments."

I'm talking about the concept of Human Rights. You can say that we are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights", if you'd like. There's also the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" passed by the UN.

>"Do you really want the government involved in your private interactions with a private company?"

Yes. The government already does this and it's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, this sort of thing is ubiquitous and quite tolerable.

>"What happens when 'the market' decides your personal liberties are problematic?"
>"That's capitalism. Sorry?"

I know we aren't going to agree on this, but I dread the idea of my human and civil rights being dependent on Capitalism. And I'm a supporter of Capitalism! The exercise of civil liberties should not be dependent on their profitability.

Edit: We've been going back and forth for a while now and I think it's been a good and respectful discourse. I understand if you want to drop the subject and move on.

I am not saying that they should not use cloud just that it is important to have a plan in place to deal with a unlikely but high impact security event affecting a cloud provider.

All of these issues would be gone if companies like Apple offered the reigns for users to modify their software as needed. I'm running firefox with a competent ad blocker, no tab bar on top, and a sidebar of tabs that appears when I hover the mouse. Sure, it took some finagling with config files, but this sort of stuff should be possible and accessible on a computer. I really wish Safari and Apple in general took a different approach. Firefox shouldn't be the only game in town.
