Yes absolutely—people buy umbrellas because of rain, and voters employ police because of crime. It’s a logical error to infer that the presence of umbrellas causes rain, or that the presence of police causes crime.

I remember using Facebook as a good way to organise meetups between friends in the realverse.

I switched to communicating close friends on Whatsapp when I noticed that photos and experiences seemed to be shared to prove more that you were having a good time, than actually having a good time. (I felt myself also doing this at times, and didn't like it).

If anything, I think we need far less of our convivial social lives being mediated through corporations, not more.

I use the word "convivial" after Ivan Illich, [1] who would view Facebook as part of a distopia.

This to me sounds like someone who has become detached from reality.

The Professional Hierarchy of Needs
Part of what this article overlooks is that military style rifles are popular because they are objectively better rifles.

For several years, I've fed my family for months by shooting a single large animal, processing the meat myself, and freezing it. I'm solidly in the hunter category, not the "tactard" category the article describes.

But I've switched over to using a military style rifle because it is more accurate, lighter to carry in the field, and the parts for it are vastly cheaper than the bolt action rifle I used to hunt with. I also use tan rifles instead of black ones not for tactical appeal but because they don't get as hot in the sun.

Moreover, you don't have to carry a 30-round magazine in an AR-15. I hunt with a 5 round magazine even though the law would allow more because I don't need to carry 25 extra rounds of ammo. It's too heavy and the tall magazine makes taking accurate shots harder.

In short, if the AR action weren't so good, and the barrels weren't so accurate, I would still be on a bolt gun. But I have a large caliber AR-based rifle that is vastly superior to anything else at the price point.

You're massively overestimating the level of effort needed to hold the accelerator steady. The software seems to understand your intent and will help keep the speed relatively steady. Its not like making a millimeter adjustment of the pedal adjusts your speed by 20mph. It took me only a few minutes to get used to it. I'm able to keep a far more even average speed in my electric car than I am my ICE car, as now when I start getting off the gas it actually starts to slow down instead of coasting meaning I'm exerting more control in one motion instead of having to make two motions to achieve the same effect. I'm also usually smoother at slowing down in an electric with heavy regen. I never have to switch between accelerator, not pressing any pedals, to braking. Its just smoothly getting on the accelerator, holding it when I'm at the speed I want, and then slowly getting off the accelerator when I'm wanting to slow or stop. Then once the car stops I take my foot off the pedal and the car holds itself in place.

You're still thinking of pressing the accelerator as "open the throttle on the carburetor this much". On modern cars these days, pressing the accelerator is really more like "I'd like to go this fast", especially in electric cars. Its a vastly different experience.

I don't think I've actually touched my brake pedal in the last 2,000mi in my electric car, and I drive almost exclusively city driving on it.

For some reason this post brought to my mind the website of Fravia [1]. It is defunct now (he died 10+ years ago) but it is archived and various mirrors exist (have a look at the wikipedia page [2]).

I never really got to explore the website in depth but the few articles I've read I remember to have been very interesting. More important he had some tips on how to make better searches to uncover websites that might not be high on the results list. Granted this information might be outdated now but I think it is worth a look.

From what I've heard, it's very difficult to get your foot in the door with only a coding bootcamp and that a lot of HR people filter for that CS degree.

Personally, I've definitely seen an ROI on my CS degree. Would my ROI be better if I had gone to a lower-cost and shorter-time coding bootcamp? Maybe. Would my job prospects have been just as good? I'm doubting it.

That said, I have not seen an actual articles studying the job rates and starting salaries of people with a CS degree versus a bootcamp. It's all been anecdotal from what I've seen on reddit, and certainly subject to confirmation bias.
Not exactly what you asked, but one idea I just picked is keeping a proper Changelog, ie, stop assuming that "Git history solved that".

And a good way to write those is to have a `## Unreleased` entry on top of `CHANGELOG.md` - the idea is to add tasks as they are being completed.

Then when a version is published/tagged/milestone, replace the "Unreleased" with "v1.2.3".

As a child I learned that technological progress takes the form of inventions and comes from intellectual heroes called inventors. Manufacture, distribution, marketing, business, etc. were all just details that would inevitably get worked out by one or another of the sharks in that grubby game. And the sharks would constantly be trying to screw the inventor out of his due. As a child I would have looked at someone who enforces patents for a living as a kind of hero.

Once I reached the tech industry it was a total 180, ideas are worthless, the heroes are the engineers who can scale them and the founders who can make businesses out of them. But patent law didn’t get the memo, it’s still based on my elementary-school worldview.
There's a part of Chaos Monkey where the author describes driving past Google on a weekend and seeing empty parking lots while Facebook's were full (this was during Google Plus).

IIRC, FB “cross-sold” the Onavo app through the main app without any mention that it was not a third-party app, and without mentioning that data was collected. That’s problematic to most people.

“ "The ACCC alleges that, between 1 February 2016 to October 2017, Facebook and its subsidiaries Facebook Israel Ltd and Onavo, Inc. misled Australian consumers by representing that the Onavo Protect app would keep users' personal activity data private, protected and secret, and that the data would not be used for any purpose other than providing Onavo Protect's products," the ACCC said on Wednesday.”

What pet theory is that? All I did was to mention two historical episodes that preceded the event under discussion, and which the paper fails to mention.

So what? We're talking about the paper, not a person.

On what pages does the paper take up the issue of the speculative bubble leading up to the Great Depression?

> Governments don't work like a household. What matters is borrow costs and use of funds. If a government can borrow and the net growth generated is greater than the interest rate on the debt, it's a good thing to borrow. Like any business debt.

A main MMT talking point. Yes, I've read Kelton's book and yes, a government that prints its own currency is not like a household.

MMT is an experiment. For all our sakes, I hope its proponents are right.

100% agree. I also think we're (maybe?) starting to come out of a period where selling bald faced lies and bullshit was a major way to 'make it rich'. Or at least I hope.

There was a period where it was a requirement for an executive that they be credible and have a solid track record of under promising, over delivering, before they would ever be considered for leadership. Part of that comes with the experience to know (as in know in their bones, from direct experience) how important it is to be straightforward while not causing panic, and to set a solid and realistic direction instead of lying about it.

People required that of their leaders because they had seen and felt the anguish and loss that doing otherwise causes when it is something important. We've had a insane run of peace and prosperity, and it's easy to forget that and take the fluffy fun face instead.

> All this modern science that at the time that was supposed to improve farming actually destroyed our biodiversity and insects.

What is the distinction between “modern science” and “science”? Are you claiming that the development of the Haber-Bosch process and other fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, and fungicides did not increase yields?

What is “improve farming”? It does not seem to be a small feat to go from feeding 1.5B people to 8B people in 100 years, at far more calories per person.

Granted, the long term effects very well may have destroyed biodiversity and insects, but the immediate problem at the time was hunger and malnutrition. Although, one can make the case that the loss in biodiversity and insects is inevitable with excess human population, in which case the development of technologies increasing yield would be responsible for leading to the possibility of excess humans existing.

HN promotes launches and hiring posts by their portfolio companies. It wouldn’t be a stretch, given their size, to suggest some of these companies do harm.

Gas is more expensive because fossil fuels are more difficult to extract, we have some environmental standards instead of none, consumption has skyrocketed, and there's an organization called OPEC that maximizes the price. Pretending that none of that would be true if dimes still had silver in them is ridiculous.

If you had taken those same two 1964 dimes and put them in a DJIA index fund, you'd have $7. That's because storing shiny things in a vault does not contribute to economic activity. It doesn't invent anything, manufacture anything, provide any service, or create any new markets.

No one thinks that their economy would be better off with a huge stockpile of gold instead of a huge stockpile of CPUs. No one thinks that a reduction in mining capacity should restrict the amount of currency available for business loans. Representative currency is a vestigial technology that is no longer useful.
Agreed.

I've always thought you should have to get career and financial counseling before taking out student loans. How many people get Psychology degrees and then can't find employment? Would fewer people take on 6-digit student loan debt if they knew they'd still end up working at Starbucks for a hair over minimum wage afterwards?

If you want to go to college for the sole purpose of getting an education, then nobody should stop you. But you should at least be made aware of your future prospects vis-a-vis employment and debt.
