> Corporations can persist beyond the life of any humans within them for a good reason. It enables longer term investment and decision making to achieve things that can't be done in a single lifespan.

The median planning term for US corporations is far closer (even on a log scale) to one quarter than to one century. It's offensive to even suggest that any major US corporation is planning multiple human generations into the future, except, ironically, to be able to exploit their current IP holdings ad infinitum. Completely detached from reality, like most pro-IP arguments.

> who have no responsibilities outside of school work and maximizing their social status.

I suppose this might be true in middle-class, suburban areas; but where I grew up, and I imagine in similar places elsewhere, there were plenty of working teenagers who held responsibility for their family's well-being. They worked in the family corner store/restaurant/shop/farm during the weekends and evenings. Others provided primary care for family members; their younger siblings or infirm adults.
This woman dropped out of high school and illegally became an underage prostitute because she was struggling with depression. I don't mean to minimize her experience or suggest there is anything intrinsically wrong with that, but I don't think you can just project whatever terrible school experiences led her to that and think everyone has that bad of an experience in high school.

This reminds me a bit of Scott Alexander's extreme bias against school, due to all of the extreme bullying he faced.

It might make more sense to say kids who are having a truly awful experience in high school should skip high school, rather than just "smart kids should skip high school." I think I was a pretty smart person, perfect SAT score even, and I certainly could have learned everything I learned in high school must faster with less wasted time if I studied on my own, but I don't think the experience was worthless. It's the last time I had real, truly close friends. It was the last time I competed hard in real sports leagues. Theoretically, I could have tried to find other ways to do those things, but there's some benefit to just being around the same people all the time and doing things together if you don't hate each other and make each other's lives awful.

I don't know what else I would have done. I may have been academically ready for college a lot earlier, but I wasn't socially ready. I wasn't socially ready even at 18 and probably should have waited even longer. You can't just actually go to work even if you're able to because of child labor laws.
I wasn't replying to you. You seem to think you have everything worked out. It's (just) your opinion; other people have other opinions, points of view. Claiming that people who don't share your opinion—which you are aggressively promoting here like it's objective truth—are simply deluded, doesn't come across as very nice! You are here to teach the Truth on this subject, not to listen or learn - to lecture, not discuss, it seems. Why would you, when you have it all worked out and others are just deluded.
If you have (or have had) young children in your care, you immediately recognize most of these behaviors and beliefs.

I skipped 5th grade and I can't for the life of me really pinpoint what possible negative impact it has had on my life. And, even if you suggest that there really wasn't any positive, either, just as a sheer function of entering the labor force one year earlier, the lifetime income impact is quite significant. I certainly don't want to dismiss that I had one less year of fun elementary school times with friends, but it's fairly clear to me that the way we've organized schooling isn't really rooted in anything that really promotes the success of an individual, but more what is socially most efficient/easiest.
pretty biased article. Didn't cite the many doctors who are using it in their treatment regimen, Japan Medical Association board member endorsement, or the population studies in India and Africa that show pretty compelling evidence. Also they didn't cover the early treatment vs. late stage when discussing the study results (ivermectin doesn't help people with high viral load already in the ICU, but apparently does help people who just got the virus).

It happens. E.g. the Inuit traditional diet is effectively entirely meat/animal products. Non-animal products make up a tiny sliver of the traditional diet.
People do bring this up on HN a lot. For WebAuthn / U2F the only actual example anybody has is AWS. So that's not an industry problem that's specifically an AWS problem. Unless you have an actual example which isn't AWS?

As to TOTP it's a shared secret, so just clone it. If they allow you to set multiple secrets it would just reduce your overall security because more random guesses work. Also, get WebAuthn instead.
Because it relies on the majority of the population to unanimously change their mind and diets. Between economic reasons (alternative diets can be more expensive to a family that has no time to cook every meal), health reasons, traditional reasons, societal conceptions, and downright stubborn people, it's essentially not possible without multiple generations worth of effort. That's much less realistic than changing mandated farming practices which could be done in a matter of years.

Is this using JVM/JIT or using Graal to make a native-image binary and calling that? You'd get better results due to shaving off startup time with that if it does include it.

I think .NET 6 latest preview would slightly beat out Java here as well.

This isn't exactly apples-to-apples since Zig/Rust/Go are considered "systems languages", but the JVM has GraalVM for compiling to native binaries/libraries and even importing/exporting C functions and structs. And .NET of course has .NET Native + "Dotnet Native Exports", including the LLVM experiment where it uses LLVM bitcode instead of Ryu.

So you can make the argument that writing a native binary or a library which exported this benchmark function as a C-callable method with a C header in each language would technically equivalent.

The JVM and .NET ones would have a large size (several MB each) but would otherwise still fill this requirement.

Wouldn't direct sales locations/showrooms operated by the manufacturers still need to hire salespeople, as well as automotive technicians to do the maintenance?

It seems that the jobs wouldn't necessarily be affected, the owners of the dealerships are the ones who would lose out on revenue.
Yes - actually I had just finished editing my post to say that. For me at least I think it would have made a major difference. You are absolutely correct - I still sometimes kick myself over stupid decisions I made as a freshman and sophomore.
The fact that you feel the need to specify an era is a pretty good sign the general concern does indeed apply.

Companies routinely do that. Hell sometimes that is the entire reason for employing a specific person, is to let them do what they want and then reap the economic benefit from owning the outcome.
Yeah, we're missing each other somewhere. I'm just talking about Facebook's incentives here. It makes sense for someone who works for Facebook to try to deliberately crush Mastodon, because even if the risk of Mastodon beating Facebook is very low, it's not zero, and Facebook's pockets are so deep that it might as well, even if the risk is low. I'm not sure what individual guy you're talking about?

I don't know how much it really counts as "like MailChimp" but Substack is relatively new, and seems to have found its way past the spam filters at least enough to get top-tier VC backing, so if I were trying to solve this problem I'd probably look at how they did it.

Great idea, everyone merges to master without a second pair of eyes catching that subtle bug in a fundamental function that causes data corruption over the course of a month before a customer notifies you about it because there is no test for that particular case, except now mainline is over 500 commits and 10 features ahead and 6 of those depend on that function plus there have been 5 schema changes in the meantime, two of which can't be rolled back without losing other customer data.

Great Idea.

My Wife left high school after sophomore year, she didn't like the bullying etc. and got into "middle college" a program with college level classes at the local community college taught by professors. She got into NYU and a few others once she graduated so there is a path outside of high school for some. I do feel like there is a valuable lesson to be learned from high school besides education and that is socialization. Going straight to college after middle school seems unrealistic for 99% of folks anyway so what will be filled with that 4 years before college starts?
I'm naturally suspicious of anyone's "shoulds" about education unless they base them on research in sociology, psychology, and/or pedagogy. Otherwise, they are usually based on the person's own personal history and our interpretation of our history is always suspect and biased.

(The author's disclaimer means my point doesn't apply to the linked article.)

It may be the case that the author's high school experience wasn't worth the time, but that's a retroactive observation. It's probably true that for some people high school is a net good and for some it isn't. But unless you have an effective way to distinguish one from the other before they go to high school, it's hard to draw actionable advice from that fact.
There’s political directions and there’s literal fascism. My grandparents gave their lives in the fight against this rotten ideology, and anyone who supports it and gives it credibility can go right to hell in my book.
Americans who go to public schools get enough of the "bad bits" in grade through middle school to prepare us for life.

I used to get knots in my stomach on the first day of school. I just knew there would be an after school fight, and I would be involved even though I tried to remain invisible.

I should have gone to a community college instead of high school, but didn't even know it was an option at the time.

(I wasen't a big kid, but taught by my Irish father to never back down from a male on male confrontations. That might explain some of my problems with bullies? By the time I hit high school, I was so beyond fighting, and any form of bullying--to any of my classmates. I really didn't like high school, with the exception of a few girlfriends. Everything I should have learned in high school, I made up for at a community college in a semester. I remember sitting in a chem class with 35 year old nursing students, and I was in heaven. I loved college so much, I didn't want it to end.)

.. because they lobby to keep taxes complicated?

I'm not saying they don't, but don't you think the tax code is complicated because politicians have to be doing something, and they get donations by adding special provisions for their donors?

A prerequisite to a simple tax system would be a rate so low that (1) no deductions are necessary, and (2) it's not worth making any special effort to avoid the tax or to cheat.

On (1), that's right: no child deduction, no mortgage deduction, no charitable deduction, no state & local tax deduction, no nothing. Just pay 15% of your income, period, full stop. And TurboTax got no further reason to live.
Congrats, you’re the cringiest person on the entire website. You should really go to a psychiatrist or something based on your post history.

Friend, I remember your posts from the past several months. I honestly think you need to go through some therapy. You have been through a lot of bad experiences because of your parents and because of unrealistic expectations put on you. It's not your fault.

But being angry like this is really toxic for yourself. Life should be happier than this for you. Please find a way to talk to a therapist because you need to release your anger, get past your trauma, and find happiness.
Content made them great. It was refreshing to find articles worth reading. Now you usually hit a paywall as they're more desperate to monetize before getting to the second paragraph for things that aren't worth reading. Those who made good content wanted more control and started moving to other platforms. It feels that Medium is experiencing brain drain as content worth reading migrates elsewhere like Substack. But who knows if Substack will fall into disfavor in the future like Medium is right now.

I didn't claim that plants were conscious, and we have no idea what causes the conscious experience. I personally wouldn't say that all humans actually experience consciousness. So no, no clear connection, and no burden either.
I would agree with you in general about a gap year before college- but mostly from the perspective of it's a great time in life to be responsibility-free and do something meaningful

I think everyone is immature/makes poor decisions/could have chosen better paths their first couple of years in college regardless of age of matriculation. The first time you live with little supervision, have to start thinking about a career, etc. is going to be rough regardless of whether you are 17 or 20 because it is all such a new experience
I'm not sure how content id is a system that encourages people to put pressure on lawmakers, when YouTube isn't legally required to have that system at all. Content ID is Youtube's attempt to keep copyright holders happy so they don't lobby for legislation.
More realistic is taxing it (increasingly tax what you don't like till it goes away, like Tobacco).

All of your examples are real things. They exist in the physical world. Naturally finite, tangible. It makes intuitive sense to most people.

Data is the opposite of all that. Society is trying to retrofit all of that physical world intuition into the virtual world. It doesn't work. It sorta worked up to the mid 20th century because data was still tied to the physical world. Now that computers exist and are globally networked, there are absolutely no physical barriers holding us back.

Police, courts, entire industries worth trillions of dollars, entire countries have been trying to make it real for what, over 50 years?
