Instagram doesn't need to bother with this. Parents do.

None of my kids will have access to this stuff unattended until they're mature enough to do other adult things on their own (like drive, get married, etc.).

The Internet has never been a safe place for kids, and it never will be. I blame most of my adult issues on the fact that I had Internet access from a PC in my room from the age of 10. And that was more than 20 years ago when porn was harder to find and social media just consisted of yahoo chat rooms.
>Not going to address your weird attempt at wordplay

There's absolutely zero need to be rude. There is no "wierd" word play here just misunderstandings and impoliteness by you.

>Also, axiom can be just a rule in a rewriting system. Doesn’t have to be an assumption/opinion as it is just a proposition (or higher order predicate) that is true within some system (not necessarily related to anything that exists).

This is obvious. You're just restating what I said and coming up with a circular argument. A rewriting system is a universe you create, not dissimilar to our own universe that we live in. An axiom in this system is an statement made by you stating something is true without any proof. A statement made without proof IS an assumption. Now this explanation may seem like word play to you but it is not. The exact identical words "assumption" and "axiom" serve to confuse your reasoning and blind you from the actuality of the concept at hand. What I am doing is unraveling your misunderstanding in attempt to explain your confusion but you are unable to see it and you view the argument as "word play." Axiom and Assumptions are two words that mean the exact same thing. There is one concept at hand and two words for that same concept that are confusing you.

>subjective logic, which you linked, is equivalent to propositional (in a sense you can express any statement in subjective logic via a set of propositions, eg Ap distributions make this connection), and does not embed predicate logic (eg any statement of this system can be expressed in predicate logic, but not vice versa)…

This system has axioms and theorems that use predicate logic. It is built off of predicate logic.

I recommend reading this: https://projecteuclid.org/journals/statistical-science/volum...

When you set the subjectivity to 100% the result is something equivalent to predicate logic. So logic is both a special case of probability as well as foundational building blocks for subjective probability itself. You can arbitrarily pick and choose which came first and which one is axiomatic. Probability or Logic.

You are indeed wrong here. Please politely admit it without calling my statements weird. If you disagree there is no need to resort to derogatory statements.

People say that about communism too. I'm not open to debate any of the tankies I know are on HN, but if a paradigm brings utopia if implemented properly, and misery otherwise, and there have been no known utopia-yielding instances of the paradigm despite repeated attempts, it's time to consider that maybe misery is inherent to the paradigm.

No. It would be a blemish on the legislators who wrote the law, and those who voted for them. The legal system enforces laws - it is not meant to judge ethics.
Software has variability spanning multiple orders of magnitude. In entertainment, you might get one or two extras fewer or more than you needed, but you won't suddenly stand there with a hundred or thousand times more extras than you needed. Similarly, equipment will be hours or days away from where it's supposed to be, but you won't suddenly find out it got dumped on another planet.

Why does software have such extreme orders-of-magnitude variability? Anyone's guess. I like the perspective that software is made out of many pieces of little software, which are in turn made of even more smaller pieces of software. That fractal nature is a qualitative difference to people, which are not made of many tiny people. (As far as I know.)
I had one for a couple weeks right about a year ago. I was very impressed by its ability to mimic paper. Unfortunately, it didn't do much more than mimic paper, so I sold it and bought some nice notebooks.

However, I think that was before the software projects mentioned in this post. I never tried to SSH into it, so maybe it's possible to use it for things that you can't replace with paper.

I had achieved a nice middle class life and faced a setback that left me homeless 18 months before pandemic began. Hard worker from ages 14 to 32ish when pandemic hit, even crawling back up from homelessness with labor and service jobs.

Now I’ve been forced into an abusive situation that seems terminal. The working class where I come from love to abuse me and refuse to understand how hard I’ve worked in last decades, and the wealthy who I used to be close with largely dismiss me as irrelevant or mentally ill. Due to legal problems created while in my vulnerable state I can’t even expect to pass a background check and get work.

Not so much about me, but I just know I’m far from alone in sinking into terrible circumstances. I anticipate a sharp rise in domestic violence and similar boil overs as winter closes in and the ability to retreat is compromised (mouse bites cat only when cornered).

The US has long been in the dark ages for this. Northern Europe uses a lot of "district heating" [1], which often is trash burning (or other renewable source) plants used to heat water and distribute heated water to residences for area heating and hot water purposes. It's a classic example of having subsidies for traditional/polluting energy and having very few subsidies for newer forms of cleaner energy.

What if this had worked? What if Goldman hadn’t noticed anything unusual and had coughed up the $40 million? Wouldn’t Goldman have been embarrassed when this story came out? Well, no, because this story never would have come out! [...] Once you’ve been tricked into investing in a high-flying startup, the only rational move is to hope that they succeed, clean up their act and go public at a higher valuation. You’d never go around saying “we were tricked”; that just destroys value.

Similarly, if you are an investor and board member of a hot startup, and you find out that the co-founder impersonated a customer to try to trick someone into investing, what are your incentives? If you make a big deal about it and throw around words like “fraud,” it will be hard for the startup ever to raise money again, which might make your own investment worthless. If you say, meh, unfortunate one-time event, no harm no foul, then maybe the company’s vision will end up working out and you’ll be able to sell at a profit. If you invest in a startup you are buying an option; your goal, as a board member, is not to extinguish the option value too soon. Just, you know, let it ride, see where this goes.

Fatherhood Movie Review
I’m sure there are companies everywhere where management keeps an unproductive worker around for whatever reason. But in Denmark at least, they are not required to. All employment in Danmark is at will employment. As long as the reason is not explicitly illegal, employees can be fired for any reason or no reason. As I wrote in a different reply, this is considered uncontroversial because 1. there is usually a severance period of three months, and 2. most workers have unemployment insurance which is both generous and affordable, and 3. we have free, universal healthcare, which means losing one’s job is not catastrophic.

I mostly agree with this perspective. Alternative agile methodologies may fit better with certain teams (e.g. Kanban, lean, etc) and so having a top down prescriptive method of "agile" doesn't make sense. Another perspective is that Scrum is agile training wheels. Once a team can discipline themselves enough to follow a Scrum workflow successfully for a significant period of time, it shows they are ready to follow a more flexible agile approach and therefore may no longer need a Scrum leader guiding the team.

Bloomberg's Matt Levine has an interesting take:

> Here’s another thing about being a private company. What if this had worked? What if Goldman hadn’t noticed anything unusual and had coughed up the $40 million? Wouldn’t Goldman have been embarrassed when this story came out? Well, no, because this story never would have come out! Even if someone had told Goldman after the fact “hey that call with YouTube was fake,” what would they have done about it? They could call Ozy and demand their money back but presumably Ozy spent it. They could sue, but how much would they be able to recover? Once you’ve been tricked into investing in a high-flying startup, the only rational move is to hope that they succeed, clean up their act and go public at a higher valuation. You’d never go around saying “we were tricked”; that just destroys value.

The reMarkable is surprisingly good for its primary purpose. Everything else it does... is limited. They things they did do are done well given how they are implemented. The epub/pdf experience sucks because it doesn't have a real pdf reader. It just renders the epub to pdf and then throw the pdf into the note-taking app.

Arguably, none of the functionality is half-assed. It works very well as a writing tablet. It absolutely sucks as a general purpose device because everything except the very core experience is flat-out missing.

There isn't a good general purpose eInk tablet and the reMarkable is the closest thing we have. :(
I'm writing a book advocating for the integration of socialism and capitalism, because socialism works best with markets and vice versa. I call it "Social Capitalism". The point of the book is that this is already the dominant system, despite the fact that no party actually advocates for it directly. It emerged out of compromise not philosophy. And that's A OK.
Basically a company using a "mental health" issue to cover for the one time they got caught committing ad-fraud.
You are correct, gentle supply and demand will operate too slowly to correct the market.

A huge problem with the current market is that it's not very free, entrance is too difficult for new players, and the entrenched players have excessive political power through regulatory capture. There are far too many players with massive amounts of assets that would be stranded and devalued, if they were allowed to be exposed to competition.

But even if there were a more free market, the speed of capital on these sorts of scales is very slow. So even though it may be more economically efficient to abandon a bunch of bad coal plants and do massive deployments of new technology, the amount of capital necessary makes it difficult to make the transition at the economically most cost effective pace.

Look at all the coal plants that burn coal, despite losing money at it.

As someone who currently works at a Big Tech company, but spent most of his career prior to that at smaller companies, I found this article very confusing.

First of all, I work at Amazon (and posting this under our social media policy, this is just my experience, and I don't speak for the company), and Scrum is pervasive at Amazon. The article is right that many big projects start with a 6 pager, but once teams start executing, many teams run some form of Scrum (Kanban is also popular).

The second thing I found strange in this article was the idea of Scrum being heavy-weight. Early in my career I worked at a small company where our process guru was a big fan of the Unified Process. The point of Scrum is that it is lightweight (without being zero process). There really isn't a lot to it. You sync with your teammates daily, to make sure you're all focused on the most important thing today. You check in every 1-4 weeks by (a) demoing your software to figure out where you are, (b) you do a retrospective to look at what can be done better, (c) you figure out what is the most important thing to be doing the next N weeks. The teams that I've been on that have tried to not do these things either in actuality, did these things, but did them subconsciously, and therefore unintentionally. When I hear people say "Oh, I don't like Scrum because my old team did Scrum and I didn't like how we..." what follows is almost inevitably something that if you asked a professional scrum coach "Should we do that?" the answer would be no.

> Competent, autonomous people need less structure to produce reliable, high-quality output. Big Tech is able to attract, afford and hire these people.

I don't like this way of thinking. Start-ups have lots of competent, autonomous people. Big Tech companies have lots of people early in their careers that are still learning to be autonomous. In fact, when I was at start-ups I often heard the opposite (and equally untrue) claim: that start-ups required people with more autonomy, because the product is new and the team is involved in discovering the product, whereas in larger companies the products are more defined, so people needed less autonomy.

I appreciate the author surveying people and trying to make sense of the results, but in this case I think he just over-simplified a much more complex reality in a way that isn't particularly helpful.
This is a lot of good information you provided and makes a good case for the CCP perhaps being legitimate, or perhaps least-illegitimate govt available given Chinese realities. I'll read up on the references you provided. Like anything, it is not universally bad, and there are many good things it does, and the meritocracy sounds great as you describe it. And the cooperation between the bureaucracy and politicians also sounds way more effective than things are often done in the west.

Yet the 8 parties with a non-adversarial relationship sounds like standard authoritarian controlled opposition.

Plus, there remain many problems both internally and on the international stage.

Internally, you make clear that the goal isn't 100% censorship, but only suppressing anything that might become a movement of it's own, even if apparently favorable to the CCP. And suppressing news that might turn to racist acts against Uyghurs is not a bad thing to do. Yet we still have 'forced reeducation' of a million of them. We still have the 6 year-old Panchin Lama and his family being disappeared 3 days after being recognized by Buddhist religious authorities, and a new CCP-appointed person announced, along with many actions to dilute Tibetean Buddhism. This is straight-up cultural genocide, designed to wipe out a culture in a generation.

We also have many wholly unjustified claims of sovereignity in international waters, islands, and Taiwan, for example. They blatantly violate the Hong Kong transfer agreements only a few years after they start.

You need only skim the Human Rights Watch reports [1] to see a litany of problems, all systematic, and not one-offs. Not to mention efforts to silence people abroad [2].

They say "don't interfere in our internal affairs" which sounds fine, except that they are actively attempting to annex and eliminate their neighbors.

And sure, if they've done so many good works, maybe they could win an election. But since they never put it to the test, I'm still not sure I could call it legitimate.

If they didn't have the systematic internal human rights oppression, and systematic international expansionism, I could see it as a legit alternative... but there are these core systematic problems underlying all the good stuff.

I'd be interested to see a counter example where a standalone backtick is part of normal non-computing related text. I really don't find your comment helpful. The strings where I see single and double quotes being used most frequently is with normal, yes, English text. The backtick is useful there, and that's all I wanted to say. French doesn't really have the same issue, since guillemets (« and ») are often used in place of double quotes, for example.

According to this Stack Exchange answer[0], the backtick is strictly for use in computing. I understand that it represents the grave accent, but that isn't of concern as a string delimiter, because once it is applied to a letter, for example è, it has its own unique representation.

> You as a developer are responsible for saying how long it will take and when you can have it done.

Which amounts to estimating software deliverables beyond the scrum window, which will invariably lead to disappointment, which will eventually fallback upon the shoulders of devs. It is impossible for delivery dates beyond the estimation horizon to not start being used by management as an anchor at some point in the near future. It only takes one manager promising stuff for the rest of the management team to try and emulate the savior.

Teams coordination only requires timely backlog priority management and does not need to be planned top-down for days on end with all members of all teams present.
