The problem for me is Oculus. I really love their headset and I appreciate the investment Facebook has made in that.

I hate the stupid strategy tax that makes me have an FB account to use their headset, and has it go down when they have an outage. I hope they can learn from MSFT that "Facebook Everywhere" is ultimately a self defeating strategy.
Sorry, that's a not-terribly-funny joke: "blabla considered harmful" is passive voice. Somebody in my life is extremely strict about passive voice, and it's fresh on my mind...

Is it because of a tidal effect or something due to the nearby Earth? Would the same thing happen to water on the moon?

That's a fair point, though those countries and the people in them are still very much affected by global climate change, global surveillance, refugees from wars and proxy wars, etc, with their causative origin in other countries.

And, I doubt that the respondents in this study were from those countries. It seems that, at least in the researchers second round, participants were selected to represent the US (I don't have access to the full study so can't say more).

I also doubt that the researcher took any, much less all, of the valid reasons for desiring dismantlement of neo-liberal power structures into account when building up these "iterative" profiles.

I do think LWA is worth researching, but without being able to see how they're defining "political violence", or "left wing", or how these aspects are weighted, it's hard to judge the value of their data.

I think their conclusion sounds about right, for many on the so-called left in America these days - “preference for social uniformity, prejudice towards different others, willingness to wield group authority to coerce behaviour, cognitive rigidity, aggression and punitiveness towards perceived enemies, outsized concern for hierarchy and moral absolutism.”

However, in most other Western countries Democrats are considered quite right-wing, for the exact above reasons.

But you have two independent VPNs right, using different technologies on different internet handoffs in very different parts of your network, right?
Exactly. And when we do get stuck, we have everyone working on the problem together, so it doesn't happen for very long. The only time the team really got frustrated was due to a mysterious memory spike that pops up at the most inopportune of times, and we had to spend a long ass time investigating it (orders of my boss) so all work ground to a halt other than banging our heads trying to figure it out (to no avail).

Outside of that, things have been running smoothly.

It is pretty clear which opinions that are accepted by many people today well be unacceptable tomorrow. So why not examine that further? It feels like you're denying your conscience.

Totally agree. More than happy with the performance.

An alternate explanation is that the algorithm tries to promote engagement and user retention. Presumably, people susceptible to radicalization engage with the content discussed in the article. It would be unreasonable to expect Facebook to not act in its own self-interest.

> splitting out every nullable attribute into its own table

One property of 6th normal form is that null ceases to exist by way of optional joins. This is a good thing.

If you ignore the physical data model for a few seconds, you might see how this is can become a deterministic path for modeling success in any problem domain of arbitrary complexity. You aren't able to make the kinds of assumptions that would typically screw you over in the future if you follow 6NF properly. De-normalization for performance reasons should be undertaken only after you have perfectly modeled the domain in logical terms.
Web Outages: HN, Facebook, WhatsApp, Google, AWS, YouTube
I could see videos being effective. When I was younger I watched a lot of those "near miss" / "driving fails" youtube compilations, and I think they gave me a better intuition for how things tend to go wrong on the road. It would be interesting to see a drivers ed program that included material like that.

On the other hand, when I watch a dash-cam video, I'm already have an understanding of how drivers think, how pedestrians behave, how weather conditions affect driving, etc. I could watch a video and tell you "the driver ran the stop-sign because it was hidden behind the tree branch, and hit the other car because the road was wet and they couldn't brake effectively". I don't know if I could learn to recognize those subtleties from watching video alone, which is what it seems like we're trying to achieve with ML.

Replace Facebook in your post with human trafficking :)

Obvious I'm not serious, and it's popular sentiment here that "Fuck Facebook... Oh but I use Instragram and WhatsApp of course!", but the point was "some people making a living on x" isn't really a great argument for "x is harmful and we might be better without it".
phones? how lame.
Now to just send it off to a high quality printshop for framing.
Exactly. Live and you pad your pockets. Die and you pad your heirs pockets. You were already 90 in medium-poor health anyway and not many people get a chance to go to space in any capacity. Having "fabulously wealthy entertainer and space tourist" on your gravestone is better than just "fabulously wealthy entertainer". All the upsides are still there but the risk side of the equation is much lower at 90 than at 80.
Quite right. Not many companies follow Fred Brooks' "surgical team" model and I would like to see more try it.

Be careful with that. The hangover provides a negative feedback that keeps the vast majority of (any)-alcohol consumers from becoming addicted. Now leave that out and see what happens.

Note: Alcohol hangover is not the same as the immediate withdrawal symptoms of other drugs that let‘s you crave for taking another hit shot whatever. It‘s caused by the myriad of trash by-products in metabolizing ethanol, not for the lack of alcohol. (and for certain alcohols additional also tannins, aroma substances and similar - think of whiskey and cheap wine)
I'm in the same exact place in terms of progress and emotions. I've been trying to cold emails and not a single successful one so far. VC's say they read cold emails, then reject me without reason or ghost me.

I can't improve it without feedback, so I've been reaching out in my network (post-seed founders, execs, PM's) to get critique on my pitch before grinding at it again. Storytelling and extroversion definitely seem like the main drivers of success.

Since I'm here, I'd love to trade pitch critique/network with you if that's useful.
>You have a lot of USB-A QC chargers, and you just take a usb A -> C cable

Why would you assume it would work? Just because the connectors fit together?
Both my computer monitor and my TV have two HDMI input ports. Should I fault the HDMI protocol (and any connector standard where server and client sides are physically identical) that I can't daisy-chain them?

My grandma has a microUSB Android tablet and a microUSB feature phone. I set up for her a dual USB-A charger and two identical microUSB cables that are always plugged in, so she can use either one or both.
I don't quite see the problem with the USB-C setup either: get several high-powered chargers for her so that she can use whichever one.

But I get it. The times really did have changed; one piece of information - the wattage of the charger - that was hidden from the consumer is now reified: all chargers fit, but only some of them are powerful enough.
Fortunately, it's mostly a question of comparing integer numbers: my phone's 25W, and the charger is 30W - it fits! My laptop is 45W though, bummer. I should get a >=45W charger for it.

But for that nuisance we traded away the obnoxious burden of distinguishing between Pump Express and QuickCharge and Adaptive Fast Charge and Adaptive Super Fast Charge, between Lenovo thick or thin barrel plugs or yellow rectangle plug, between multiple generations of Apple laptop plugs, of insane proprietary connectors like Nikon's UC-E6, of having to power hubs externally (thank god for 15W minimum), of the anticonsumer pricing of the vendors' proprietary tech, and (fingers crossed) of the ridiculous mix and match approach Apple has to its iPhone and iPad lines.

It seems to be a good deal.

By the way, I fondly remember a Sony Ericsson K510i I had in high school :) That toothy connector was finicky as hell (something I'm reminded of by lower quality USB-C hubs).

Yes. I think people forget that personalization is not used for ads in Google Search - it's always ads for what you're searching for. Your data is only used for things like YT Ads and banner ads via Adsense-enabled sites.
> How is a yes/no question aggressive?

Have you stopped beating your wife?

More relevantly, when the question is asked genuinely then - as you say - it's expressing an openness to learn.

Sometimes it is asked rhetorically, dripping with sarcasm and derision. In that case, it is clearly not furthering our interest in productive, good-faith discussions.

Far more often, it falls somewhere between those two and - especially in text - is often ambiguous as to which was intended. While we should exercise charity and hope our conversational partners do likewise, it makes sense to understand when some phrases might be misconstrued and perhaps to edit accordingly.

Why? It is not as efficient. I can buy everything from stores but I use amazon, same thing. I don't actually use facebook though because I don't care about anyone really but for people that care, it is a solid platform.

There is a gap between "I want to know what people I know are up to" and "I want to meet with those people one by one to see what they are up to". Some people just want to passively watch and that is ok.
In practice things are much more nuanced than what you learn in school and textbooks.

Sometimes you have a convenient library that sort of does what you want, but it does a lot more. Do you just use it, or do you re-implement only the subset that you need which can be optimized to run much faster?

That's not an algorithm question but more of a software engineering tradeoff between impact (how badly your users/business need it faster), resources and priority (how much time you can spend on optimization), and whether you want to maintain that code (as opposed to calling the library making it somebody else's problem). Sometimes the correct thing to do is really to call the slower library instead of writing your own highly optimized routines.

In this case of terminal emulation, apparently the folks at Microsoft wasn't aware of the faster solution, which you could say is an algorithm issue (but that's kind of stretching things a bit -- you surely wouldn't see terminal emulation in an algorithm in a textbook, and the fact that one has memorized the textbook algorithms for an interview doesn't automatically mean they would figure out a better way of emulating a terminal. Presumably Microsoft does some whiteboarding on algorithms as well but that didn't prevent this fiasco from happening). Anyway the concerns I mentioned above are probably still relevant here (the directdraw run thing was a convenient and slow library that apparently did much more than they needed).

Algorithm "skills" are probably overrated in the sense that people can memorize textbook algorithms and their analyses all they want, but real world problems are often more complicated than that, and those "skills" don't necessarily translate/apply. For one, there's no general way to prove lower bounds, so a less imaginative programmer might just assume their inefficient implementation is all that is possible, until somebody else points out a better method. People are getting technical interviews wrong if (as interviewers) they ask standardized algorithm questions -- the candidates expect them and prepare for them, memorizing them if need be. But as the interviewer, ideally they'd want to be able to find the candidate who can discover a good solution for a novel problem they never saw or thought about before.

I'd further claim that while some of these skills can be learned and improved through training, there's a different "ceiling" for everyone since a lot of the intuition and imaginative aspects of problem solving can't really be taught or acquired. I've done a couple years of competitive programming in my younger years, and I can clearly observe that, when pressed with hard problems, there's a clear difference between how well people respond. The model in the original article assumes that these kind of skills come with experience, but in my experience that's mostly not true if you're dealing with "hard-ish" problems like how to vastly optimize text layout in terminals.
Just wait. I thought Microsoft had changed, that they were different now.

I guess not...

The shape of trials in a court of law is built around discovering the topic of disagreement and sourcing enough expertise on the topic to get a judgement from a jury of "peers".

Whether or not that is an expensive process is orthogonal to the question: if a "smart" contract makes a mistake, how do you fix it? Right now there is just zero recourse and everybody shrugs their shoulders at it, "oh well, that's just how software bugs work, sorry about your loss". That's an awfully hard pill to swallow for the average person. Real contracts built up a lot of mechanisms to keep contracts fair and equitable by making sure that when one goes wrong there are ways to deal with it.

Right now with "smart" contracts it's a wild west of whether or not escrow accounts exist and you can maybe, optionally get people (or institutions) involved to fixed something about to go wrong or in the process of going wrong, and there's just about no way in most "smart" contracts to fix things after they've gone wrong. But critically it's a "right" in most contract law-based countries to challenge a contract in a court of law and get a human opinion from a jury of your peers, and I don't see how average citizens can trust a system where that "right" is not given as such and is an "optional" feature that they generally have no idea exists in a specific "smart" contract code (much less if that feature itself is buggy or not).

I realize (per above) that this is often a "feature" and not a "bug" in "smart" contract design today. Most of the designers don't trust institutions (and maybe not even people) and like the "freedom" of "smart" contract platforms with few regulations, few "required features", and few places for instutional/personal intercession. I just don't think that's a good situation for most people to ever trust "smart" contracts in the real world.
Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, etc.) are basically that - GABAergics with very high LD50. They're positive allosteric modulators, rather than direct agonists, but the pharmacological action is similar. But benzos wouldn't be a good alcohol substitute - they're often described as less "fun" than alcohol by people who use them recreationally, they're more prone to delusions of sobriety (possibly because it's missing the other non-GABA effects of alcohol that help us gauge drunkenness), can be very addictive, and there's some link between long term benzo use and modest elevation of cancer risk, especially brain cancer.

And yet you don’t see this with any other competitor. Even Intel, who kept dropping the ball year after year. In contrast, Apple has been consistently realistic about their performance figures, and outperforming all their direct competitors for about 10 years.

It’s just a knee jerk reaction to about anything related to Apple. There is a lot to dislike about them, to be sure, but these reactions to independent benchmarks are just blind cynicism. It’s cool to be a contrarian, and it is making the Internet a much worse place.

To recap, you seem to be concerned that all social media are allowing posts to become popular, and those posts sometimes promote hatred towards conservatives or liberals.

Two questions:

- What do you think should be done about the legacy media that is doing the same?

- Should social media promote boring posts, or actively censor political content in favour of a certain viewpoint, or anything else? Perhaps a real-life name registration for anyone with over 1000 followers, like in China?
