The more weak they know their internal state to be, the more aggressive externally they will become. War or revolution are horrific outcomes, yet one or both seem almost inevitable.
If I'm reading that correctly, they say it should last about 4,000 years which should get us pretty far.
People who've been affected by CA Prop 47 would beg to differ. The recalls of the DA in both SF and LA (the LA DA was a former SF DA) are also indicative of far left politicians being incredibly unpopular. The upcoming recall election of the governor of CA also points to societal unease.

Some of the numerous and relevant points of the recall - Gavin failed to manage forests, power and water in CA.

Many lakes and water supplies are close to empty.
Lake Oroville is dropping about a foot a day, when it hits 640 feet, California will lose generation capacity that supplies about 750,000 homes.

We've got about 10 days before that shuts off.

Gavin has failed to endorse additional generation capacity from viable sources (Geothermal and Nuclear) in addition to pushing for the electrification of everything. We're going to start having rolling blackouts again, thats what resulted in Gray Davis being recalled.

People are starting to realize that progressive policies are a huge problem.
I barely overlapped with both of my great-grandfathers but fortunately one of them left his memoirs behind.

in there it says that he ran away from home early and "during revolution was just a street hooligan breaking streetlamps for amusement". He did eventually complete engineering school and wound up designing and building ports and hydroelectric dams during all the heavy industrialization and the war. He said he was happy about that change that allowed him to become educated.
Oh, damn. I can't unsee that.
known by whom? I got halfway through my CS degree before I realized software paid significantly better than other STEM work, and I'm in my twenties. my parents weren't convinced it wasn't all a waste of time until I showed them my first offer letter.
But this is the sensible thing to do, talent leaving or not.
A universe where Blizzard shifts to mobile because of business reasons is indistinguishable from a universe where Blizzard shifts to mobile because "everyone left", so your hypothesis isn't falsifiable.
Exactly. There's a big difference between approaching this problem with a "first do no harm" perspective and a "move fast and kill a few people" perspective.

And this part from the previous poster strikes me as a big problem: "They were lucky it didn't lead to an accident and as long as they keep the fleet to 600 cars then yeah, the accident rate will be much lower than Tesla's AutoPilot, shipped in more than a million cars."

That seems like an excellent reason to keep the number of active cars very, very small. Rather than, as stated, an excuse for shrugging at a death rate at least 1667 times higher.
This one is my favorite for many many years. Good for relaxing.
> The misoginy accusations came later

The misogyny was the driving force from the start. The original 'Quinnspiracy', before it became 'Gamergate', was a harassment campaign organized around the blatantly false claim that Quinn had slept with a gaming journalist to get good reviews of her work (the only mention he ever made of her work was before they even met).
What do you mean by “ribbing”? Especially in the context of your military culture (about which my entire knowledge comes from hoping the fiction I read was based on more than imagination)?
Sex is just an activity. It's a workout and feels fun and exciting. The fact that you think a person sacrifices their heart for sex mean you don't have a healthy relationship with it. It's not a one sided thing, of giving or taking, it's consensually shared between people.

Sex can be, and I think should be, an emotionally fulfilling experience, but it's not a requirement as long as each person gets their needs met.
In a collision the more inertia you have compared to the other car the better off you will be. The contest between a big SUV and a Geo Metro is going to go much better for the SUV driver than the Geo driver, unless the Geo is going Mach 2 or something. That's the reasoning I've always heard for why SUVs and pickups are supposed to be safer. Safer for the driver, anyway, not safer for who or whatever they hit.
> Can you fart without polluting everybody's air?

Nope, but I adjust my diet to minimise the impact of my farting, and it pollutes the air much less. Plus, my farts aren't responsible for respiratory illnesses.
Isn’t Credit Karma’s accelerated growth attributed to TV Ads?

I wonder why something like CK can benefit so drastically from TV Ads while others are not even close to breaking even on that investment.

Is it the quality of the ads or the nature of the product?
You lept straight from "Sometimes these mental tools produce correct results" (which is true) to "These tools are the only way to produce correct results" (a ridiculous distortion).

Those aren't mutually exclusive. Something can do something only sometimes, and also be the only way to do that thing. If he/she is wrong, It should be easy to prove that their claim is incorrect though by thinking of a counterexample
DFEH is a California entity, so I don't think it's fair to talk about all other major game studios. Most of the articles you posted are all stemmed from the same start: The Kotaku article. The wired article is from the same author noting that COO was not fired (and other employees that are employed by CEO have had complaints).

It looks like EA is based in LA and isn't under investigation by the DFEH, but Riot and Activision/Blizzard are two of the biggest game studios in CA, right?

Yes, the C-level executive that dry-humped employees, "ball-tapped" employees, and any other inappropriate behavior should be removed... but that actually isn't included in the DFEH lawsuit, IIRC.
> Sexual harassment was punished severely, but at the lowest levels possible, and wasn't often reported.

So, not severely, then?
> They have moderation mentioned front and center, so that feels good to me that they kept it strongly in mind.

What's annoying about this is it was sprung, default on, with no warning. I'm a mod (not the owner) of a server that got them, and we weren't given the permissions to disable them from @everyone, only the admin can do that at first. And he's not currently been on because of time zone differences. Which means it's just an easy open vector for someone to come in an raid and just cause chaos. They should've had it off by default, at least for a few days to let server owners experiment and play around with it.
It seems more than a decision not to implement. Apple have every incentive to prop up their own ecosystem where they make a cut on every purchase. They specifically wrote a data retention policy for localStorage which was to the direct detriment of PWAs.

Mozilla isn't pursing SSBs at this time, but the core APIs of PWAs are still being supported. Their position stems more from a lack of manpower than any strategic decision.
Gamergate started when someone pointed out that some shit game got positive reviews from a game reviewer that was having sex with the game developer. Fake narrative right from the start.
Very rare high quality comments on Ads.

Do you ever find annoying that the current narrative on the internet ( and on HN ) that All advertisement are bad? Approaching to the point of finding people working inside Ads industry as witch hunt?
Sure, but I'll note the other companies are self-regulating on this. Regulation tends to slow progress, so what I'd rather see is what places like Waymo are doing: acting like responsible adults so regulation isn't forced upon the whole industry prematurely.
I think most folks are unaware, really.

What's more, here in BC the NDP (left-leaning labour party) stripped Tech Workers of the majority of their labour rights. Not even meal breaks were saved.

I am a programmer like my mother before me - but while I've had it easy working in high level language like C++ and PHP she worked in binary and, only toward the end of her career assembler. She made banks work using nothing but low level machine instructions which far exceeds the rudimentary stuff I'm doing today. Eventually she graduated up to management and project planning, but this was back in the day where individual contributors never made much money directly - if you wanted to keep getting raises you had to career track switch to management.

I don't disagree that programming itself did significantly shift, but it's been perpetually getting easier, not more difficult, to work professionally at.
I don't disagree with most of what you're saying, but I think we're coming at it from different perspectives. I am looking at it from the perspective of software which does not yet exist but will be built in the future. In that case, missing Safari features _are_ a detriment to users, because it prevents developers from building this new software.

From the perspective of users of existing software that seems to break with no reason I agree. It's stupid how heavyweight imgur has become when it used to just be a fast simple website that worked everywhere.

Maybe you're content with the functionality your system has now and need no more, but I am still on the quest for new things I can do digitally, and easier way to do things I already can.

Take Figma for example, I'm not even a designer but even I enjoy having access to a collaborative drawing app that is trivial to share with other collaborators. If browsers had not agreed to implement Canvas and all rolled it out, Figma would likely not exist. Perhaps they could have created a packaged native application for all major operating systems, but in reality that's a ton more work, and a huge impediment for users to convince collaborators to buy/install some native app so they can work on a drawing together.

What other software are we missing out on because the barrier for interacting with USB/NFC/Bluetooth/Notifications/Background-Sync is too high.

In a world with native apps only, only the big players can afford to target all platforms, and only the big enough use cases can justify the expense.
Yeah my internal approach was creating custom vectors which are quicker to search.
Thank you. We are constantly guilting parents about everything -- it's tiresome.

A friend of mine was distraught when she decided to stop breast feeding and to move to formula for a host of reasons (pain, difficulties meeting other demands, etc.).

But the media has propagated this meme that using formula is so much worse than breast feeding, when there's no solid evidence that is the case. [1]

Making parents feel terrible about all of these unmet expectations of being the perfect parent is actively harmful for their mental health. Guilt-ridden parents aren't good for anyone. It's the parenting equivalent of young people comparing their lives to the fake lives they see on Instagram -- holding themselves to an impossible standard.

The critical thing is to talk to the kid about what can be expected and when.

Let them know when you'll be there and be present when you are. Involve the kid in determining when you'll be there if you can. For the times you can't go, talk to the kid about how it went, what was good/bad, etc, taking the kid's lead if they're not feeling like talking about it.

I played baseball as a kid, age ~8 - 12. My parents sat me down when I signed up and explained that they could not be there for every game but would be there when they could. If there was a game that I specifically wanted them to attend, to let them know ahead of time. They asked me about every game they couldn't attend, were excited if I was, dropped it if I didn't want to talk about it, etc.

There were times I was sad they weren't there (grand slam home run, great plays). There were times when I was happy they weren't there (struck out every at bat on bad pitches, dropped an easy catch, etc). But I knew ahead of time if they'd be there, which was what made it easier for kid-me to understand and deal with.

This was how most of the families did it. The other parents got to know the friends of their kids and would cheer for them, too, which made it a friendly environment.
It was not criticized because there was a woman, it was criticized because there was a cyborg woman when it was supposed to be a WW2 game.

And I think it was indeed a really stupid picture. Also my grandmother was a prisoner of war of the nazis and got real medals. That fantastic representation of women in war is just idiotic and distorts history to the point of absurdity.
I mean, I could've probably left "white" out and it would've been just as accurate.

I do apologize for my "shoot from the hip" and should've been less specific about "white men" vs "men". I can't be totally sure of a racist undertone in tech since I am white. I don't know _for sure_ if PoC men feel the same discrimination.
This sounds like a great idea that won't backfire and brick perfectly good power tools in any way. /s

I run synapse on Gentoo and it uses next to no resources except disk. Load averages 0.03 for all, 366.6MB used, 97% idle. 14 days uptime.[0] This is like rpi model B compatible.

We only have 5 users, and we use coturn on the same machine, but three of those users are also linked to glitter and matrix.org channels/rooms. The ~/synapse directory weighs in at 5GB with 2GB of that being logs.

The setup took me a 'few hours' over two nights, but my work revolves around setting up services and software[0] - it may take someone else a couple of days to correctly set up and run it.

[0] uptime reflects the rolling nature of Gentoo, and I had a certificate update at the same time, reboots are inevitable. I start with Gentoo with any new online service, since I know the pain points and failure modes. This homeserver is run on a VM in a datacenter. I have no complaints about synapse so far.
People also got mad about Tifa's bust size apparently being reduced to a more realistic level in FF7R. It's nuts that we just kind of accept this as a culture.
My experience is from ~2 years ago so things may have changed a bit.

Essentially there is a default view which contains all messages as usual. Each message also has a symbol next to it. If it's grey message bubble, it's a message that is not tied to any thread (it can be replied to to start a new thread. Previously if no other messages have appeared on channel so far, it can be dragged & dropped to another thread). If it's colored message bubble, it's the first message in the thread. A colored arrow means it's part of the thread with that color.

This allows you to mostly just stay in default view with all of the channel's messages. As long as people are putting the messages in the thread itself, you could quickly use the colors to see which thread the message is on (color collisions did happen, but they were fairly rare). You would need to open the thread only if you needed more context or wanted to reply to it, though replying can also be done by writing to channel & dragging the message to thread.
A planned economy is great when you have a few well defined tasks to really worry about. But you can't really become dynamic and resilient like a market economy can. So certain goals, like getting everyone to read or building a spaceship work reasonably well but it simply can't compete with a market economy in the longer run and dies a death of a thousand capitalist cuts eventually.

The Chinese probably have it more right than the Soviets in that they manage a few big things and then let the market more or less self manage to a point so long as the CCP is getting their cut and gives their blessing.
"Available" beds/ hospital capacity is usually a floating number, and it's not an absolute capacity, it's just the instant capacity at that moment. It changes in response to demand.

Hospitals don't count closed wards/wings/floors that can be staffed and "activated." Same goes for converting other areas/depts of the hospital to covid units. Which is why it's better to monitor absolute cases or deaths, not % "capacity".
Women should work in banks and hospitals, when they infiltrate creative endeavours it just creates havoc and drag the whole organisation down. It is funny but the theoretically more liberal people in the music industry and other performing arts got it long time ago, that's why most of the people on the production and creation side of things are men and the women are mainly just the singers and performers. The computer geeks of SV never really understood women and that's why they are standing there baffled trying to figure out how comes they are the most "sexist" industry when they are so woke and all voted for Hillary. It is just funny to watch.
A bunch of kids can fit in that blind spot.

Which is why they’re now patching it with front cameras. I saw a video from inside the cab of a big pickup truck (like an F250), where they’re at a stoplight and there’s a Corvette in front of them that can’t be seen from the driver’s seat, so they only see it on the dashboard screen.

I highly doubt that the larger frontend distributing the force over the whole body makes things safer. In particular because for a higher frontend this includes the head, which is arguably the most sensitive area of the body.

I suppose this is one feature of actually going to the office worth noting.

Staging a virtual walk out where everyone just doesn't sign into Slack, Github, and/or read email for a day wouldn't have the same impact.
Where they'll feel it the most is in hiring. Everyone in the industry is watching and if they don't fix their house, it will be very hard for them to hire and retain the engineers and designers who build and run their games.

The problem is excessive centralization. The internet used to be millions of servers owned by independent people and organizations. That was, for all intents and purposes, uncontrollable. Now much of the internet is comprised of giant platforms that are a whole lot easier to coerce to comply with even most nonsensical regulations.

It can depend in part on what you mean by make money, and what the purposes are.

If you mean greater than 0 revenue from YouTube, probably the majority of content creators that try to do so will. (There are people who simply use it for video sharing, and have no interest in monetization at all).

If you mean make a profit after paying themselves even a fraction of minimum wage for their time? Probably a fairly small percentage, although I know of plenty of creators who post content on YouTube more as advertisement for their main revenue source (such as streaming on Twitch, taking commissions on some form of artistic endeavor, etc).

In some cases the marginal time costs of putting a video up are negligible compared to performing the activity in the video, and the videoed activity was something they were going to do anyway. That can make doing YouTube profitable more easily, even if the activity in question is not profitable overall.

For example, somebody is going to spend 200 hours sculpting something (might be their hobby or perhaps somebody commissioned it from them), and they decide to set up a camera so they can create a time-lapse video of them doing it and upload to YouTube. In that case they only need to make enough to cover the time to edit the video together to make recording and posting to YouTube start to become profitable.
The Chinese government also forced a removal of WeChat from online stores in China.

Consensus in some quarters is that a Maoist crackdown akin to the cultural revolution may be starting up.

Other companies have been hammered such as all cram schools have been "told" they will not only not be allowed to issue stock (IPO) but possibly no longer allowed to be for-profit but must be non-profit now.
