It doesn't get enough attention? The "algorithms" are all anyone talks about when it comes to this issue. I think people put way too much weight on them.

Once you have enough people participating in a single conversation, from all walks of life, the discourse will go to shit very quickly.

Look at Reddit as an example. Small subreddits that are focused on a specific hobby are usually pleasant and informative. Large subreddits that cater to a large audience are no better than the comment section on a political YouTube video.

Ask HN: Who isn't doing remote work (and is still based in the Bay Area)?
Some people like remote work, but I can't get into it. I can't imagine that I'm the only person in the same boat. Sitting at a desk working in a silo with only digital communication with strangers is one of the most depressing things I have ever done. I would probably find it different if I had been at a job for a while before going remote, but establishing friendships and comradery remotely just isn't the same.

I want to feel the energy of being in a startup office again. The early day energy, the conversations that happen in the breakroom, the unlikely friendships that lead to amazing new projects and great ideas. What companies and startups are still doing work primarily in the Bay Area where people go into an office and work together for at least 3 days a week?

At some point, I wonder if having an office and having everybody together is going to be a competitive advantage for the companies that can manage to pull it off, at least in the early days before things get too corporate no matter what.
Yep! Example: https://dev.to/kristoff/zig-makes-go-cross-compilation-just-...
The day the temps were so high you could just tell something was coming.

The air was super heavy and muggy, and it was almost eerily calm that day. I even looked to my husband and said "this is gonna be a bad one" that day.

Luckily my area got missed for the majority of it, but unluckily it did hit other areas nearby.
I keep hoping that word will eventually eat itself.

Sigh...

While I look forward to having an electric car someday, the trend in new cars does not look promising. Far too many instances of car companies having too much control, because of the advent of internet-connected vehicles.

Is there a solution to this? I don't know. Especially because I can see legislation cementing these sorts of practices in very much convoluted ways.

One can only hope competing car brands emerge whose competitive advantage is along the lines of "Your car, you can do whatever the fuck you want with it".
I'll own up to not being the most eloquent writer - I'm not, and don't think I did, argue for banning all work outside of normal hours - I just wanted to say that it didn't sit well with me that there are people making candles in a factory overnight. If they were making vaccines and well compensated, I would understand, but candles - it just triggered a huge sense of unfairness to me and I wanted to voice it. The tech bit was just to connect it back to the HN audience where we sometimes dilute ourselves in thinking that if we just create new tech, everything in the world will improve; I was trying to argue it likely won't but I'll grant you that I didn't convey that well at all. The last thing I'll say is that a candle factory can choose to operate overnight because their employees are basically serfs, they don't have much of a choice.
I think Freud's theories have all been pretty much considered 'surpassed' in academic psychology. I don't think they're considered valid anymore, outside of popular culture.

All IQ tests do measure things that people literally do teach themselves. From finding synonyms and antonyms, to finding the center of mass of a shape, to XORing two bitmaps, etc..

Research has found that differences in IQ at a young age are not very stable over a lifetime. That being said, education starts at birth, and cognitive development doesn't go at the same speed for everyone even when the endpoint is the same.

And actual, we did find that education does raise IQ in a significant and sustained way, with measured increases persisting for 40 years : https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0956797618774253 (ie, the OP)

Fair point!

I guess it’s the mixture of a relatively passive entertainment, sitting still and being able to do it for long periods at a time (there’s no natural break like the theatre has, nor do your muscles tire like with physical activity).
Thanks for bringing in that hard data. I don't understand why the news media keeps saying "thank goodness kids can get vaccinated now!". Why are they trying to normalize annual or 2x a year shots for these kids, who are more likely to suffer from myocarditis as a result than to actually contract or get ill from this virus? Nobody freaking knows.
> I imagine that if you ship an app on Linux you check in the source of every system library and utility it depends on, right?

Dumb false equivalence, since that ("every system library and utility it depends on") is not the argument of the side you're trying to appear to offer a response to. Please refer to the HN guidelines.

A less dishonest retort would be to ask if one should check in the dependencies that are analogous to what ends up in node_modules, and the response would be, "welp, that's exactly how many app developers have been known to approach things, so 'yes'."

Quick scan, it looks like the average episode of "Space Rocket History" verges on ~60min, where "The Space Above Us" is about 20-30 minutes. For me, the shorter length has made it more "snackable".

Check out this map of population density: https://vividmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/metropolita...

All those dense spots in Florida and along the Gulf are also more likely than most US urban areas to use septic tanks. That's a lot of brackish poop, clogged toilets, and environmental contamination coming in the next few decades.
Ask HN: Reviews on BradfieldCS courses and bootcamp (teachyourselfcs creators)
https://bradfieldcs.com/courses/ - has a list of courses

https://bradfieldcs.com/courses/ssba/ - recent offering of a combination of previously offered courses

https://bradfieldcs.com/csi/ - this is their computer science intensive bootcamp

These are the makers of https://teachyourselfcs.com/. I notice that their course (ssba) costs $3600 and their bootcamp costs $19500. USD conversion to local currency is pretty high for me so I am on the fence to invest that much money on their courses. Can anyone share any reviews about their courses / bootcamp?
Interesting. Would "simping" be a better term than sociopathic? Obviously that's not necessarily what's going on, but Japanese is already so contextual, I imagine it's difficult to separate/rationalize how someone speaks the way they do from the why.

They've been able to do that since at least radio and arguably since the printing press. At worst, Facebook is an evolutionary step along that spectrum.

How does Denver fit in with the other two? I currently live in Denver, and have also lived in NYC and Jersey City. The latter seem like completely different worlds from Denver.

> The problem is that Facebook is giving the village idiot a megaphone

What's interesting is that before Facebook, the only people who could afford a megaphone were either state sponsored medias or billionaires who owned TV stations and newspapers.

For the ordinary citizens, the only way you could be heard was to write a letter to the editor of your local paper. If the state/billionaire/editor didn't like you, your views or anything really (your skin color perhaps?) it would simply not get published, period.

With Facebook a lot of gatekeeping simply disappeared. It's interesting to see who has an interest in regulating Facebook and bringing back the "good old days" of medias.

In your article, it says that:

So how is what I said "misinformation"?
There is no proof of that, the fact that most crops are destroyed to prevent food prices from crashing and how milk farmers are pouring their milk down the drain is proof to the contrary.

Ender's Game, too. [spoilers follow] To ensure that the young boy entrusted with the saving of humanity succeeds before he goes insane, the adults spend years (at least a decade), and incredible amounts of money and political power, to manipulate and deceive him and his cohort so that they don't understand the gravity of what they're doing.

> "You had to be a weapon, Ender. Like a gun, like the Little Doctor, functioning perfectly but not knowing what you were aimed at. We aimed you. We're responsible. If there was something wrong, we did it."

> "Tell me later," Ender said. His eyes closed.

> Mazer Rackham shook him. "Don't go to sleep, Ender," he said. "It's very important."

I think it's not so much Facebook alone but the entire Internet. The connectivity between humans is suddenly increased manyfold, and reaches much wider. Imagine using a graph layout tool on a giant graph with only few localized connections. Likely the picture will have evenly distributed nodes without much movement. But then as you dump all these new edges onto the graph, the nodes start to move into rigid clusters separated by weak boundaries. I think this is what's happening with the red/blue, vax/antivax etc. groups.

More and more people like myself are just… deleting Facebook. Not deleting their account. Just deleting it from their phone, and never bother logging in from anywhere.

I urge people to try it. Don’t bother jumping through the hoops Facebook give you for deleting it. Just delete it from your phone. You’ll spend a day trying to check it, realise it isn’t there, then you’ll completely forget about it. And you won’t miss it.

Google isn't dragging their feet and pushing the timeline for their "Privacy Sandbox" update because their ad business will be hurt - likely these changes will help them.

It's because EU/UK regulators are blocking this move as anti-competitive, and the FLoC/FLEDGE/Whatever cohort targeting gives Google essentially a monopoly on targeted ads since they have the best look with 1st party data of almost any company (except maybe FB).

My prediction - it'll get pushed back another 2 years to 2025 since the industry can't figure out what to do. There's hundreds of billions at stake and Google wins no matter what.
> employers to offer a gym stipend instead of the equivalent amount of salary

Isn't that partly tax benefit and partly the hope that steering employees to better health, results in better employees? E.g., for 20usd I can give them 16usd cash after taxes (or whatever) or 20usd worth of gym membership AND I'd rather my employee exercise than spend money on candy.

> A Barnes and Noble gift card to a favorite niece tells that niece that you remember she is a reader, unlike those uncreative family members who would just give her cash.

My first thought was, as others have mentioned too, "buy a card and give cash", but the thoughtful card costs money, so the recipient pays through poor convenience for the cost of the paper card, instead of the giver spending money on the thoughtful presentation.

Gift cards are about signaling. People are very brand loyal. Cash isn't brand loyal despite its flexibility. Cash and a card to say "buy books" feels less personal than a B&N card for some reason. There is the other part where the gift card is reserved money. Cash gets put into a pocket and spent on gas. A gift card is reserved and people feel anticipation of what they could go buy on their next trip. There is also the open moment when people feel like "Target gift card, I love Target!!!"

Also, do you mean the religious holiday that the church moved to the winter solstice because they couldn't get people to stop celebrating the solstice? Also, in the bible story of Christ, gift giving is the primary plot. A gift from God to save the sinners. You also have the Magi who travel far to bring gifts for Jesus. Gift giving is different than all-consuming commercialism and that has a bigger cause in our advertising controlled economy.

Yeah check out MOND and RelMOND. There have been some breakthroughs on the front of revising the actual theories that seem promising. The grand consensus is that it's unlikely but I've always thought it's less likely that some made up matter that we can't detect in any way makes up 95% of the universe. When it comes to dark matter/energy it seems like everyone's thrown Occam's razor out of the window.

Only time and observed events will tell which one fits more though. You either have a simple theory that doesn't check out for all cases and makes up invisible things to fit or one that does work but is probably overfit on current data.

>>But I also think that HN overestimates the ability for single engineers to upend the goals of an entire organization. In the real world, if a company wants to automate anything and they’re paying well, there will be a line of engineers out the door applying to get it done.

Either the work is difficult, and few people can do it (hence the price tag on engineering salaries) or it isn't. But if it is, then even a few refusals can effectively shut down a project. 'oh theres a line out the door' gets given as a weak excuse from people who have zero threat to their security, and I'd rather never hear it again.
