When I was around twenty my Mom used to call me every other day or so just to have a chat. One day, after she asked me how my day was, I shot back something along the lines of: "I don't have anything to tell you, really. You're calling so often that nothing new manages to happen in between the calls." So, she stopped calling. I would go home every other week as usual and everything seemed fine. It was only much later that I found out that she basically cried for three days straight after that call.

Some time later there was a period when I would contact my parents every few months or so. Not really on purpose. Simply because other things simply took more of my time and attention, and calling my parents wasn't really high on my list of priorities.

Only when my son was born I started to realize what someone goes through as an individual and as a couple once a child comes into their lives. How it changes things. That not being thrown out of the window at 2 a.m. as an infant is already a blessing. I'm sure that thought has crossed the mind of many a young parent with a screeching infant on their hands in the middle of night. So, I felt ashamed of myself, and grateful to my parents for being there in the first place, and being decent at being parents as well.

Now I've made a point to myself to call them up at least once a week. As in, I have set up a reminder for that. I now know how much they value this. But it's not only for them. I realize very well that one day I will wake up and wish to call my parents to have a chat about something. But there simply won't be anyone to call anymore.

I'm not passing any judgement at all on people who have abusive parents. I have no idea how that feels like. I'm just happy that I didn't end up accidentally getting estranged to the decent parents that I have. At some point it really was going that way.
Suppose that you have 3 data points, on June 14, 15, and 16, that due to personal driving quirks all appear to belong to the same person. If the 14th and 16th are in your dataset, and both correspond to Alzheimer-free Bob, that may be a strong hint that the data from the 15th is also Alzheimer-free.

But this doesn't help you in the real world where you won't necessarily have near neighbors corresponding to the same person, with a known diagnosis.
I don't think it's pedantic though. If what makes your argument powerful is tying it back to a natural phenomenon, then it should be right, otherwise you're using a bad example.

Right, I acknowledge your correction, so I responded with an amended statement, with emphasis on the part that I'd gotten wrong. Let me know if you'd like something more, like a written apology or something.

If your argument mainly focuses on whether the SBC is the first or second largest American religious organization, then I guess you win. Congratulations!

It pains me to point out something so obvious, but the SBC was only one of the large mainstream Christian denominations to actively support slavery, and to later actively oppose civil rights for non-whites. But if you're able to dismiss the entire tortured and complicated historical relationship between American Christianity and racial oppression with a handy comparison to a neighborhood restaurant, then I guess you win again.

A concert also falls apart without stage crew, yet we still accept that the star in the light gets 20000 times their hourly pay. And while “Spice girls” would certainly be different if they’d chosen a different cast of girls for the positions, I highly doubt it would have been fundamentally different[0] Yet Amazon would not be here today without Bezos, Facebook would not be here without Zuckerberg and Apple wouldn’t be here without Jobs. I think it’s quite narrow minded and unfair to discard their contributions off-hand simply because you feel like 100% of the money you pay for an iPhone should go to the worker that pushed the button on the assembly line that put it together, or the person sorting the package into the right bin before the robots at Amazon sort those into the shipping box that eventually ends up at your door, so you can use it to like the latest SoMe posts from your favorite boy/girl-band.

Hahaha, that makes a lot of sense. I participated in a game jam recently as well and that was a great experience, and now that you mention it the fact that I was at home and had a nice 8 hours of sleep might have contributed to that.

Because they just keep making life more difficult for websites that don't need SSL.

So now in addition to seeing a scary icon on the url bar with a scary message, my users are going to have to click past an interstitial banner just so they can visit a website and read silly travel stories. Chromium will try their best to convince them to leave, lest some nefarious agency on their home wifi substitute alternate silly travel stories that somehow cause them harm. In the 20 years the site has been live, I skeptical that this has happened often enough that we need to get Google involved.

It's frustrating.

This reminds me of a friend who has gone through some bad life experiences. She once told me that "everything happens for a reason" is the kind of garbage only said by people who have never had bad things happen to them.

Yes, dealing with adversity can teach us things and make us stronger. But there are limits, and adversity can also do permanent mental and emotional damage. The latter outcome is way more common than some people would like to believe.
All this says to me is that you don't have any experience fixing plumbing, HVAC, or anything related. This whole line of reason has been completely ridiculous, and you ought to just stop.
People can be very nice and polite while saying horrible things. I've heard plenty along the lines of "I'll be your friend, but I'm going to miss you after we die since you're going to burn in hell." Said with the kindest, gentlest tone you've ever heard.

No.... the amount of energy consumption is unsustainable at any efficiency level.

But, what I think you're saying is that if we can increase efficiency by X%, then we can still sustain current economic output, yes? Well, considering we're 70% over the sustainable level, that means we'd need to get 58% more efficient, with no increase in consumption, in less than 20 years.

How likely do you think that is?

The whole point of section 230 was to make imperfect moderation legal. It wasn't enacted because some random personal sites got sued. It got enacted because some very large companies got sued and congress thought the results of the court cases were illogical.

It sounds like it's doing its job.
The OP is about the ruling of a lower court though. I guess they didn't even reach the fundamental question.
Have you read The Mom Test? Highly recommended. Here's a summary: https://www.slideshare.net/xamde/summary-of-the-mom-test

- Exactly who is your ideal customer, and what do they care about? Veteran CEO of 4 person seed stage start up in FinTech world trying to build an MVP? Mid career hiring manager at a Series B or C company in healthcare looking to expand their team long term? Recruiter at a Series D company with 20,000+ employees trying to meet their quota of leads for the week? Someone else? Drill down here. Once you identify it and validate that through experiments, focus on as few as possible - ideally just one.

- Is it clear to your potential customer what problem you are solving for them?

- Do they think you are the best way for them to solve it? What alternatives do they use currently? What's painful about it? What's better about your solution, so compelling that they should try it?

- Is the problem they think you solve one of their current
priorities?

> most low-effort trolling won't go this far

Quite the contrary, my bet is trolls would have a field day with your proposed system. Why make inflammatory post when you can instead annoy people by hiding their posts and making them retype everything?

It doesn’t matter how “strongly [you] believe in a controversial opinion”, having to keep fighting to keep your post up would tire anyone.

My prediction is the outcome of such a system would be the opposite of what you envision: only the most boring inconsequential opinions would stay up.
On point 1 - I think unions have dramatic political power in America. Corporations have both political power and economic resources. I generally think unions don't lose to corporations because of lack of power. I don't think that corporations vs. workers is currently a fair fight. To your point, my phrasing doesn't make that clear.

Prop 22 is strongly linked with AB5 - the entire push was by union leaders and the leaders of both AB5 and No on 22 (e.g. Lorena Gonzalez) regularly tweet things like "#AB5IntoAUnion."

I actually think there is no currently effective system. I believe in collective bargaining, but I just think that unions as a tool have become increasingly concerned with political representation and political power rather than worker representation. Using AB5 as a case study, there are virtually n=0 freelancers in California (incl. myself) that are happy with the law. It's a universally despised policy by workers and businesses alike, loved by unions...
I spent about an hour looking into putting Nix on my work MacBook but the installation seemed too complicated and I couldn't find any official documentation. I frankly just don't want to have to create a volume, that's a pain in the ass.

Why do you assume that I'm not improving?

I started improving after I took a free 10-day meditation course (the Goenka one), four years ago. At the course, I gained the ability to notice changes in my emotions and mental state. Suddenly, I could see when my mind switches to a judgmental attitude. I began intentionally trying to prevent the switch. I also intentionally restrain myself if I do switch into that mode. Changing mental habits is difficult and worthwhile. I have improved a lot in this area in 4 years.

Two years ago, I realized that my parents taught me to be a judgmental jerk. Since that time, I have considerably reduced the bad mental habit. People close to me confirm this. Therefore, my experience contradicts your statement.
The one thing that Fleets had going for them, that I think Twitter needs more than anything, is the fact that they are fleeting. Many people, myself included, are afraid to tweet something inane on main, lest we forget to delete it (or lest it be archived by a crawler), and have it taken out of context years later in a way that might damage our careers.

But it doesn't follow that "something is fleeting, therefore it is deserving of the rarest real estate on the screen." And the read-between-the-lines reason is that now it's Spaces that are more deserving of that real estate. "Ephemeral Tweets" are something that should be experimented with separately, perhaps as an option on a normal tweet and prioritized within the algorithmic timeline itself... but reusing the Fleets branding and presentation probably isn't the right way to do it!
A question that can only be answered with "it depends..." :)

You might be able to simplify some of the queries using recursive SQL:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_and_recursive_que...

Neo4J is a very popular DB (ranks #18 here https://db-engines.com/en/ranking) so should be mature.

Side by side would allow you to formulate queries depending on the use case, but of course this comes with quite some cost (keeping data in sync, having another system to take care of).

Neo4J allows you to store properties, so you certainly could model all your info (also the relational aspects) in it.

Hope this helps!

Apple has long since given up on proper design. Instead of working through the necessity of presenting numerous options to the user and coming up with a proper hierarchical design, Apple punts to disgraceful shit like peek-a-boo UI, undisclosed hotkey combinations that reveal mystery menus, or "gestures."

We were supposed to get a "total rewrite" of Finder years ago. What happened? And Spotlight is a clinic on shitty UI: WTF is the use of a search facility that doesn't show you WHERE it found things? How degenerated is design acumen (or even just basic sense) there that allows a design like this to not only make it out the door, but persist for a decade or more? Then again, Apple offered up a windowing GUI in which you couldn't resize windows from their edges... or even 3/4 of their corners... for 30 years.

But Windows is far, far worse today. At least Apple is stepping back from the idiotic "flat" design fad and reintroducing a bit of proper GUI. Microsoft is just lost and flailing in the weeds.
I'm an engineer, but have had a similar observation with my wife.

I am constantly tweaking and fixing things that bug me in our relatively new-to-us house. The feedback is usually along the lines of "I never realized how annoying that was, but this is better". She has a strange-to-me ability to just not register the little annoyances.

Her approach is probably a better way to go through life, but I'm just not wired that way.
I think the issue then is that the platform becomes ... unusable.

The scale of spam of all kinds would render the service useless. Even inaction would be interpreted as part of the game ... and you're in the game again.
Yeah, did the same, then looked at the linked article. Its abstract:

Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) is a popular on-policy reinforcement learning algorithm but is significantly less utilized than off-policy learning algorithms in multi-agent settings. This is often due the belief that on-policy methods are significantly less sample efficient than their off-policy counterparts in multi-agent problems. In this work, we investigate Multi-Agent PPO (MAPPO), a variant of PPO which is specialized for multi-agent settings. Using a 1-GPU desktop, we show that MAPPO achieves surprisingly strong performance in three popular multi-agent testbeds: the particle-world environments, the Starcraft multi-agent challenge, and the Hanabi challenge, with minimal hyperparameter tuning and without any domain-specific algorithmic modifications or architectures. In the majority of environments, we find that compared to off-policy baselines, MAPPO achieves strong results while exhibiting comparable sample efficiency. Finally, through ablation studies, we present the implementation and algorithmic factors which are most influential to MAPPO's practical performance.
I prefer open source tooling as well. Check out Tabby, it's been my daily driver. It's kind of annoying it doesnt by default open up to a terminal, but this is now configurable.
> I would think that a big problem here is to only allow correcting typos, not changing meaning of a tweet - which would suck for a public, fast-paced platform like twitter.

I feel like GitHub already solved that problem by showing an edit history on comments. Twitter could do the same thing.

Even easier: don't actually publish tweets for 60 seconds, during which time they can be edited.
Saying things like "big social" does not make your argument more persuasive. It just makes you sound like part of the lunatic fringe. It also leaves people like me rather confused about what your point was in the first sentence.
Right. That's why there are 3 steps to the process. The more interesting the paper is, the deeper you go with it.
Except the only people worried about it are conservatives who are being manipulated by all the usual right-wing fearmongerers. Please go read some neutral articles about the realities of 'cancel culture' instead of just swallowing Tucker Carlson's take on it.
I was with you until the very end, when I feel like you threw away the argument by seemingly being open to "legal requests"; the "political wars" you get dragged into tend to be from politicians that are certainly making "legal requests": hell, if they aren't legal, they change the law!

I feel like the core problem in many cases was building a system where someone gets to be arbiter of content in the first place: Apple claims they take software down due to "legal requests" by/in various countries (though this is a lie as they also do it anti-competitively or for market perception reasons, but even taking them at their word here) and yet they caused the ability to do that as somehow Android devices sold in the same jurisdictions support installing arbitrary software without issue.

Platforms like Twitter and YouTube make their problems worse by recommending content--which is entirely their editorial decision and should be seen as such: any benefits or costs, moral or legal, should fall squarely on their shoulders--and then conflating that with having the ability to publish, but they would be in a much more morally (and often legally) defensible position if they simply didn't actively recommend content they disliked but still let it be found by people who actively followed the publisher.

Regardless, as usual, I will now link to my heavily-cited talk (every single slide is inherently a citation from a reputable news source) that I gave in 2017 (maybe 2018? the video was unlisted and I only just recently made it public as someone noted I had never done that, and now the upload date is weirdly set to last week ;P) at Mozilla Privacy Lab--"That's How You Get a Dystopia"--wherein I push hard at the idea that centralized systems and the arbiters they empower are the core problem and never work out, even if you like some of their decisions for some of the time.

If you look at people on an axis other than liberal/conservative, you find that the people that object are the same people regardless of their politics. They're the people that can't stand the idea of other people seeing reading/hearing/seeing things, that they themselves wouldn't want to. It's the people that are hurt and scared when they see behavior that is actually harmless to them, but maybe spotlights a difference they don't want to be aware of.

Saying that liberals or conservatives have this to a greater or worse extent is looking at it through the wrong lens.

> And that is, in my view, the driver for India’s interest in data residency.

I thought you were going to go further with that thought. I'm from an African country where the government tried to block social media during protests at DNS level. These efforts were trivially thwarted by using VPNs. The next trick was to cut off the internet entirely - unfortunately for the government, this broke electronic payments and ground the economy to a halt, so the internet blackout lasted a day.

I suspect one of the factors is that India wants to be able to cut itself off from the internet without breaking (payment) systems that have data stored offshore.
