A lot of conversations these days seem to be two sides in their camps yelling over the walls. I think both camps are coming from reasonable positions, and it’s important to me to try and find middle ground when I can.

Sometimes I can’t find a way to nudge a particular conversation toward constructiveness, but I can raise a way in which we all might be able to have more constructive conversations in the future.

The fact that the number of crazy people who are voicing their opinions is surging is exactly why Google needed to dump the dislike button. The toxicity is clearly causing what will soon be irreparable harm, and political bandwagoning is the main cause.

I just looked at the prices for motor oil at a large chain near me, and 5 qts of full synthetic is $20 (so 6 would be $24). That's a retail price, presumably shops pay less for bulk purchases.

If your prices went up by $60 this year, it wasnt because the oil is more expensive.
I am referring to the mobile network operators in the country having knowledge of your location at all times if you have a connected and powered on mobile device, which is then available to the government.
Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa: "What we should not forget about relationship between our nation and your nation is a fact that there was a certain period in the thousands of years of our company when we were the victimizer and you were the victim. I would like to once again express a heartfelt remorse and apology for the unbearable suffering and sorrow that you experienced during this period because of our nation's act." Recently the issue of the so-called 'wartime comfort women' is being brought up. I think that incidents like this are seriously heartbreaking, and I am truly sorry”. [0] Just one quote I grabbed from a long list of apologies listed on Wikipedia.

Also, Japan has paid reparations, multiple times with Korea agreeing each time it settled the matter. “Under the agreement, Korea received $300 million from Japan, as full and final settlement for claims between states, claims between one state and the individuals of the other, and claims among the individuals of the states, including those specified in Article IV (a) of the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty. Private companies were also considered individuals for the purposes of the agreement.” [1]

There are certainly nationalists in Japan who didn’t want to apologize or pay reparations, but most of the population does recognize it and feel remorse, and the government has also officially apologized and paid.

At this point, there’s nothing Japan can do since stoking hatred of Japan is a political golden goose in Korea and no amount of apologies or reparations will ever be enough until Korean sentiment shifts and it doesn’t score so many political points at home.

Wouldn't the filesystem suffice for this? It already tracks creation and modification times, so all you'd need to do is sort chronologically in your UI of choice.

Cost would scale with use, but I wouldn't expect this to be costly unless you had many users. Most of the videos would presumably have no data and that doesn't cost anything to store and not very much to query.
While energy, and thus CO2, is a significant part of solar cell production (because of the sheer scale), the attributed CO2 output of the chip industry is tiny compared to the commercial value of the chips produced.

> […] But collection of personal data is a bad thing whether it has consequences or not. Just knowing it's being collected changes one's behaviour and makes one feel unsafe. This is how a panopticon prison works.
For those who are unfamiliar with Panopticon prisons:

> The panopticon is a type of institutional building and a system of control designed by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept of the design is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single security guard, without the inmates being able to tell whether they are being watched. > … > Although it is physically impossible for the single guard to observe all the inmates' cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched means that they are motivated to act as though they are being watched at all times. Thus, the inmates are effectively compelled to regulate their own behaviour.

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Panopticon

One could easily draw a parallel here.
An interesting paragraph here describes the design of the incentive structure within the prison’s management:

> [The prison’s designer] thought that the chief mechanism that would bring the manager of the panopticon prison in line with the duty to be humane would be publicity. Bentham tried to put his duty and interest junction principle into practice by encouraging a public debate on prisons. Bentham's inspection principle applied not only to the inmates of the panopticon prison, but also the manager. The unaccountable [prison officer] was to be observed by the general public and public officials. The apparently constant surveillance of the prison inmates by the panopticon manager and the occasional observation of the manager by the general public was to solve the age old philosophic question: "Who guards the guards?"[6]

The age old answers to this philosophical question propose that a guardian for the guard to be an absurd idea, or one that plays out only with a plurality of guardians, who guard others against the deception of other guardians’ “noble lies”.

> A noble lie is a myth or untruth, often, but not invariably, of a religious nature, knowingly propagated by an elite to maintain social harmony or to advance an agenda.

I feel your pain. I experience the same thing, it’s constant and very disruptive. I’m still trying to figure out how to solve this because nothing has been consistently working.

Melatonin and drowsy allergy pills also doesn’t work for me on those sleepless nights.

Regarding theta state, there’s been a lot of times when I get into this dreamy state and I feel tired, then something happens in my brain where I suddenly lose it. And the sleepiness slips away from me. And then continues the cycle of sleeping around 5 or 6am.

Some things I’m trying that doesn’t look like it’s been suggested here yet:

- Gravity blanket. Along with not being able to fall asleep, I also get hyper-sensitive. The weight of the blanket seems to be helping with that.

- Breathing exercises until my heart beat gets near resting. I wear my Apple Watch for this, then take the watch off when my heart beat gets to around the targeted range. This works better for me than meditation because I can get feedback on how calm my body is getting. Not sure if this is gonna work consistently yet.

Would love to hear if something ends up working for you!

Exactly. Hiding the like + dislike count would actually have an interesting impact on the experience, where you can choose to like/dislike based on your own opinion only. The result will be more relevant for algorithms and more meaningful for creators who will receive honest feedback.

If I understand you, you are asking about procrastination. You hint at my own perspective about this. I think procrastination is not resistance to doing a task. It is resistance to starting a task (i.e. quitting what I'm doing). I find myself often anxious to accomplish a task (that is I am motivated) but I can't get started. In spite of what it seems, it is not a lack of motivation.

What often works for me is to concentrate on the very first part of the task. Usually this is something trivial like defining the variables for a program or scraping the dishes and putting them in the dishwasher as part of an effort to clean the kitchen. I find this relatively easy to do. I promise myself that if I just do this easy task, I can go back to what I was doing, but once I'm started it becomes easier to continue than it is to return to what I was doing.

I love these ideas and I agree with them for the most part. But I am pessimistic about US society's capacity to make such far reaching changes to a system that has largely stayed the same for almost 100 years. There are just too many forces pulling these government officials too many ways - the best we will get is some compromise that satisfies nobody.

That's why I say we should move to a more free-market based solution. It would be EASY for a private organization to completely revamp the way the school year structure works! I went to public school myself, but I believe I've heard of such "progressive" or "nontraditional" private schools that offer different structures than the standard "grade" approach.

Of course, the issue with private schools is cost, but I think direct subsidies a la stimulus checks as well as tax cuts could help.

Of course, this would cause mass disruption in the education labor market, but the nuances of that escape me.
Subaru has a long history of questionable safety features which can't be turned off. My parents used to have a 1983 Subaru GL sedan. It had a digital display. If you exceeded 55 Mph, the US national maximum speed limit at the time, redlines would appear beneath the speedometer digits and a buzzer would sound as long as the speed exceeded 55. There was no official way to disable the buzzer although I'm sure some enterprising people found non Subaru approved ways to do so.
a cynical person might suspect it's a cheap way to increase the supply of labor (and thereby decrease its cost) while generating good PR at the same time.

They dont need to respond to every rumor, its been a whole decade, they’ve weathered much greater crisis of confidence with far below $1 exchange rates. The people that do care would have said prove it, aka “disprove the random rumor”, and wouldn't be satisfied with any statement or attestation or anything greater that they’ve never done anyway. At this point whats the use of energy in that direction anymore. Even audited stablecoins are a systemic risk to the crypto ecosystem. So at this point your either in or out. Hot potato. Just like all the other markets where Lehman bros and Aig got such great audits and ratings. I’m not trying to squash conversation about it, just offering a perspective because really the standard being levied applies to USDC, GUSD, PAXOS and others who have grown to similarly large heights.

Even the earlier assumption that Tether wouldnt have US assets is made up on the spot, its weird! They were banking in Peurto Rico for years! Two US regulators didnt move to freeze their assets they just said “update your disclaimers”. Why dont we make a rumor that they hold Hertz bonds and Certificates of Deposit at Capital One Bank? Its arbitrary! They should prove they dont have Hertz bonds just so I can say “I …. dont believe you.”

$29M for not just an NFT, but an actual physical sculpture.

Something like this could be useful for proof of purchase of smaller items. Say you buy a used car, it comes with an NFT generated by Nissan verifying that it's not stolen. Idk maybe a private key can do the same, I still don't really understand the difference.

But what if someone steals the NFT without stealing the actual art piece?

I mean you _could_. MSRP is not unique to cars. Graphics cards are sold in online stores for higher than MSRP. It's just not something that dealers are likely to do, because they gravitate towards fees over changing the price.
Maybe that's because they never sold a car...
The only justification for this valuation is the EV bubble. People are desperately looking for Tesla-like gains and they'll sink money into anything that'll get them there, so companies are using the opportunity to IPO at insane valuations. There is no other sane justification for this insane valuation for an auto-maker that makes 2 cars a day.
The dislike button never represented healthy discourse. At its very best, it was a coarse indication that neither suggested nor invited further clarity. Good riddance.
Why someday? This is a simple solution.
it's a video with low number of views though, 56 total votes is probably not a signal in that case.
I agree that the youtube like/dislike ratio is obviously not the best metric to gauge sentiment towards the government. I think it's better to look at opinion polls, which DO back up my point - for instance see https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/09/inflation-concerns-democrats... or many other similar articles.

I understand where you are coming from, I just wish there was a way to solve these issues other than censorship and removing functionality. Perhaps some sort of reputation score, that would weigh any vote according to your credentials and reputation to roll into some combined metascore... but that might be too close to social credit. Tough problems without obvious solutions.
The problem was that by the time of Reagan, corruption had already taken root and was diverting the money from useful public purposes to the pockets of anybody with a good lobbyist.

Contemporary example: Instead of having the government build new housing developments and then sell them into the market, any it does build are designated as "affordable housing" with restricted access to limit their impact on the market price of housing, i.e. to keep them from actually making housing more affordable. Meanwhile there are rental subsidies that don't increase the housing stock and thereby primarily benefit landlords. How do you fix this when the problem is powerful lobbyists capable of unseating politicians who try?

Reagan never solved this. Government spending didn't really go down. The theory ("starve the beast") was that if they lowered taxes, the tax reduction would be sticky (because people like that) and then the budget crunch would cause politicians to have to trim the pork. But the cuts never happened. The lobbyists were too strong. So now we just run bigger deficits.

Nobody has ever solved the problem. If you give the modern US government a dollar, it goes to building tanks the army doesn't want or inflating the cost of healthcare, because those industries have strong lobbyists. To get it to go to building dams or meaningfully increasing the housing stock or anything like that, you not only have to fight Lockheed Martin for the dollar, you also have to fight the coal lobby who don't want more hydro, or the National Association of Realtors who don't want lower housing costs.

If you can't answer how to solve that, you can't get publicly beneficial government projects. And what we get instead is very expensive trash.

That's not actually true. There's a reputation threshold (1000) to see how many downvotes the post has: https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges/established-user. Without that privilege one can only see the net votes.

I've argued against it in the past (since it's very important context to any reader) but to no avail. An upvote and a downvote rarely cancel each other out. They have different units and shouldn't be summed together. A score of 25 could mean the answer is perfect but has only seen moderate traffic, or incredibly dangerous but has seen high traffic.

Here's a good list of controversial answers on SO: https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/466/most-.... They would mostly look like great answers from the net score.

I have never ever looked at the dislike counts to judge a video. I am baffled by most of the top comments here, that express frustration or outright anger about this. I don't think like counts are relevant to me either. When I consume YouTube (and I have a premium membership which I am happy with) I either know the creator well or I have to trust the search and recommendation algorithms to give me good content for my current interest. I don't find it hard to skim a video and judge for myself if it is worth my time. I'm betting I'm part of the silent majority on this.

You can interpret these like and dislike interactions in two ways: in absolute terms or in personal terms. "Is this video good?" or "Is this video good for me right now?" We can debate what most users are trying to express* or if they are brigading, but it is mostly irrelevant. As soon as the platform stops showing everybody the same videos or at least random videos and it starts recommending specific videos to specific users then like/dislike interactions are a function of how well the algorithm is working, not some absolute measure of sentiment. Dislikes just indicate that the video was recommended to the wrong people. Netflix doesn't show the number of likes and dislikes and I haven't heard of anyone demanding that this change.

* The label "like" certainly suggests a personal judgment. On the other hand, the like/dislike placement and other feedback options suggest an absolute judgement. When I have (very rarely) used the dislike button it was more about a bad recommendation. Often the video wasn't bad in any absolute sense. In my experience I have to go looking for videos I truly dislike in some absolute sense. YouTube does occasionally ask me to rate a recommendation and there is a "Not Interested" option which are alternatives that are even more explicitly about recommendations. Unfortunately these are only offered before you even try to watch a video or if you are very intentional about returning to your recommendations feed and finding "Not Interested" in the three dots menu.
I can concur. I searched firefox in W11 and got a huge banner for the official firefox. It looks great.
>>the way it effects how people do control flow in general.

This.

Most people are used to thinking in terms of try/catch. Programs exiting on exceptions. This is just one of those things like Garbage Collection. Its one of those things a modern programming language should do.

The example is a bit like using automatic transmission cars. As much you can sing praises of a manual transmission cars(manual control, mileage etc) its just everyday programming is like driving in roads with heavy traffic, and whatever perceived poetic beauty a manual task could offer, the automated task works better if you have to do this for hours everyday.

In many ways a language without try/catch semantics these days is dead on arrival for most shops.
