XCode, objective-c/swift and cocoa achieve about the same thing, as long as you follow a basic tutorial.

The problem with it is that they do everything ‘the right way’, which is not the easy way. So if you want to show a list of 10 things, you have to implement an interface that would still work fine if the list suddenly had 100000 things. Your documents are supposed to use an interface that has undo/redo all the way. Your interface is created out of components that have built in accessibility and internationalization support.

Nobody cares about that when you’re just building a basic app with one form. So getting started is hard.
So we're not talking past each other, your example of conspiracy uncles was attitudes toward masks, which is pandemic policy, so it is precisely on topic as an example.

Conspiracy theories are rooted in (if not defined as) the logic of uncharitable interpretations, and I'm saying the source of that is whether the subject of the theory is viewed as a protagonist or antagonist. Conflating the dumb and the smart in that stddev/sigma view is an artifact of that uncharitable thinking as well, where the average person has been trained to think the common are stupid and the exceptional are insane.

Optimistically, we can dislodge that, and I'd emphasize this uncharitable cognitive bias as the source of the divide.
Greyhound absolutely fails most of Berkshire's criteria, and the size of the deal ($78 million) is well under the deal size Berkshire is looking for.

i feel like "traditional" events for casually connecting and meeting with others have become somehow underrated — things like attending trivia events at a local pub, pick-up sports leagues, book signings, meetup groups, local volunteering orgs, and stuff like that all exist and, post-lockdown in many cities, seem even livelier and more interesting than before, with many people just going out and talking to others with no ulterior motives or expectations of anything else but meeting interesting people

once you're at a physical event, you already have one thing in common with everyone there, which is your presence at the event, and it's really easy to strike up a conversation about something topical and then get to know someone better—the issue with a lot of these apps is that the initial conversation can be awkward or fizzle out quickly if both sides aren't completely engaged, which is often the case anyway

Dumb question here, but is it as simple as starting your question with "how" or "what" rather than "does"? The former invite explanation and the later looks for a yes/no.

My big thing lately is to not ask rhetorical questions (which can be sarcasm in disguise) as they either cause people to be defensive or simply agree. Either way they do not speak directly about the "obvious" problem.

Why do we need that? I find this type of control suffocating and it is just a patch for deeper seated problems, mistrust of authority for example.
Besides the suggestions in the comments; add a ribbon/banner on the top of your site that it is on Sale. There also used to be lots of forums for buy/sell of domains/businesses. I'm not sure how they are these days.

About 10-years ago, I was approached by someone (who turned out to be a broker) for a pretty common tech-word domain. I sold it kinda cheap. Later, I learnt that the buyer (or final owner) was a one of the world's top tech billion-dollar company.

I think I just ran a simple blog on that for a while with a little banner that sold "Domain on Sale" or something in that line.
>This doesn't work geographically in practice anyway.

It's still more correct than DST.

You ARE starting work earlier with DST. That's the whole point. I sometimes wonder if there's some fundamental difference in understanding. To me the time in your watch is just a numeric value the _actual_ time of day is the location of the sun on the sky.
All of this distracts from the fact that this medium used to be regulated and broadcasters we're required to exhibit fairness, offer news (regulated by fairness), it was free and had minimal ads and was accessible to everyone. We have democratized content creation and lost the good things we developed for "free television," a philosophy of nearly ubiquitous distribution and fairness.

What is the philosophy now? The market is going to yield a spread of reliable information for free? I have to have the means to pay for five different streaming services to get access to all of the valuable content to consider myself informed. It's not just about the latest Marvel movie or Squid Games tripe, it is about an informed citizenry getting access to information. Why is that not part of the debate at all?

This very situation--Google and Netflix fighting over a blanket--is problematic in and of itself and much bigger than both of them put together.

This isn’t the fault of the IRS. The IRS can only do what Congress allows them to do. It’s the fault of Congress. In fact the 2 key Congresswomen responsible are Zoe Lofgren and Anna Eshoo. I currently live in Eshoo’s district but I can tell you she is completely unresponsive to you if you don’t live in Atherton or Palo Alto. I have never seen her campaign once. Her district is sprawling and includes 3 counties in the Bay Area and communities that have almost nothing in common. Her district includes Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, MountainView as well as South San Jose and Scott’s Valley. The district is designed to ensure she never has to face a re-election challenge. It’s almost impossible to enact change with the way this system is arranged.

So, my understanding of the current play in this space is as follows:

- Create a large number of worthless cryptographic tokens.
- Distribute around half of them as "freebies".
- Keep the other half to yourself / distribute them among your investors.
- Start a hype by injecting your investors money into your currency.
- Hope that people will start to trade/speculate with your currency, buying it for real monies.
- As the trading volume ramps up, start extracting money from the system by exchanging your tokens for real monies.
- Profit!

Is this about right? I mean it's quite ingenious as you seem to create money out of thin air, but I really can't wrap my head around how this isn't outlawed as an MLM scheme by governments.
Yeah, there's some people that when faced to what they believe is an injustice go all in and decide the world is entirely unjust and there's no point on defending from anything, because the result is already set. See Galileo for another example.

And that's compared to Taxis in the USA... anyone who has used a Taxi here in Mexico know how shady, unclean and terribly maintained they are. There are cars whose back seat is teared down and the foam is going out. Cars literally without seatbelts. Taxi drivers often REFUSE to use the Taxi meter and charge you whatever the heck they want (I had a taxi driver turn off the meter just when we were about to arrive to a destination).

Freaking Taxis are mafias, and the people that drive them are part of it. I consider them part of the problem, specially now that there is an alternative.

"First of all, I’m pretty sure Atwood is an actual human individual author, and not one of these author committees with a collective pen name. Or are you on board with the erasure of women that is the subject of this piece?" What on earth are you on about??

Second - Yep, I admit that's a possibility.

Third - Well, the article you linked lauds Atwood as a leader in the debate about the use of gendered terms - going as far as to call her a 'handmaiden' akin to the ones in some of her works. So, the 'loser' would be the article author? I wouldn't call them a loser though.

EDIT: I figured out your mental jump on the first point. You think that my use of 'they/them' is an "erasure of women". Not at all, I just wasn't referring to a sexed or gendered aspect of Atwood, to invoke their sex or gender would mean I was making a point based on those features, which I'm not.

> That there are fundamental misunderstandings and misconceptions about existing systems.

This is debugging 101. You have assumptions about how a system works, but the output isn't matching those assumptions. You walk backwards over your assumptions and test them to see if they are true. Eventually you get to the precise place where your assumption is wildly different than the output, and there is your bug.

The more systems (or people) involved, the longer it takes, the more complexity.
I can't say this for everyone, but a tech consumer has to know that just over $100 does not cover the cost of the hardware. It's got to come from somewhere else. I'm usually not much of an Apple fan, but I just switched to the Apple TV and am really liking it. It certainly seems like charging 2x the price for the hardware removes a lot of the incentive to do all the scammy stuff Ruku is involved in; though I guess I can't know for sure, or know the future.

It only gives you an audience and retweets if you already have an audience and they retweet you. If I posted a Twitter thread, it would be nothing but crickets.

For the most part, the days of Twitter interaction are over. These days, it's mostly about self-promotion and existing brands.

One thing you learn in sales is the value of open-ended questions. Until you consciously look at it, it's hard to realize how bad the questions we tend to ask are.

Yes/no questions are the worst. But even questions like "What did you do?" aren't great because the answers can often be rather short.

A better question is often posed like "Tell me about X" or "Describe how you did Y".

Of course this isn't universally true, there is value in binary answers.

But often you may find yourself, let's say in a sales context, asking something like "What tool are you using for project management?"

The answer will then be something like, "I'm using Jira".

Instead, if you ask, "Tell me about what you're doing for project management on your team", the answer may be much more detailed.

"We follow the agile methodology and use Jira for our task management. We've got a dedicated project manager on the team who..."

Getting good at asking the right questions is worth the effort.
I loved the first paragraphs but then they lost me with their list of examples.

Those are not examples of asking stupid questions. Those are examples of asking good questions in a stupid way, almost like he is trying to look stupid, for no good reason. Why don't you give your interlocutor some context so they can help you better? Is your goal to instead make them look stupid? I truly don't understand.

What's artificial about the supply limit?
This kind of response appears immature. You could have said the equivalent with something like “you could swap Roku and YouTube TV etc” and it wouldn’t appear petty.
Exactly. Whenever I have this conversation with folks, I point out that the purpose of clocks is to keep human behavior in synch, and all that daylight saving time does is make that harder in an age in which people don't rely upon the position of the sun in the sky anymore to determine when it's time to do things.

Yes, we are diurnal animals. Yes, sunlight matters to how we sleep. But why do we care whether the hands on the clock are pointing up when the sun is highest overhead? Everybody could do what they needed to do sleep wise regardless of where they were pointing.

The simplest solution is not only to do away with DST, but to adopt a single universal time. This would make keeping in synch easy. No longer would time zone conversions be necessary. No longer would we have to adjust our sleep schedules twice a year or worry about whether whomever we had to collaborate with in a different part of the world was doing the same.

But outside a handful of industries and technical fields, we seem unable to stomach the thought that the clock might read 17:00 as the sun rises. and 7:00 as it sets. That's just too weird. And why should Tavarua have to tolerate that when Greenwich gets to live with the historical norms?

Politics. Politics are the end reason for why we fight over what the clock says.
I also had a similar coin/currency idea to share with every human equally, but could not come with a good plan to distribute it, besides after carefully thinking this would not be truly necessary, because if people are free, productive ones will quickly make money, even if they start with zero. A bigger problem might be land and other world resources that are not currently being equally distributed.

> The whole idea of a hash is that a tiny perturbation makes the output completely different.

That would be a cryptographic hash you are describing. Not all hash functions share that property. As long as arbitrary input is mapped to a fixed size output it is a hash function. For example see NeuralHash [1] which is a hash function designed to be "insensitive to small changes in the input image."

>Honestly, I don’t get why people do it. For the likes? For the shares?

I suspect the author already knows the answer but dances around it because any low-effort search engine query[1] would point to several articles explaining why:

- text that's directly on Twitter often has higher engagement than making people click external links[2]

- most people don't want to set up a blog -- especially if it's counterproductive to the 1st bullet point above

Yes, if they write on a true blog website, the improved readability will score points with some folks such as the author of this essay. Since variations of his argument have been repeated with no noticeable decline in Twitter threads, I think it shows that "blog readers" are a non-priority to influential Twitter users.

tldr: author lists the "true" reasons blogs are superior but completely misses the motivations for Twitter users to avoid blogs
