Looking back, I work(ed) in a lot of environments where leadership tried to be nuanced. Or at least tried to communicate two or three equally important things.

Thinking about the outcomes of these with this explanation in mind does explain a lot.

Just not sure if this is a case of Confirmation Bias or a genuinely helpful way of looking at corporate communications.

Probably need more examples/data to better understand if he is on to something.

Nonetheless do I think it is a good framework as clearly communicating one thing and dropping the nuances would probably increase the likelihood that the content is being parsed as intended.
Why do IT people need to editorialize and inform the reader that the author experienced completely unrelated and older computer systems in the 80s.
No. It will lead to a terrible Nash equilibrium as far towards the donor class's interests as possible while still giving the voters the illusion of choice and enough of a quorum to provide airs of legitimacy.
Would be an excellent addition to provide the emoticon versions as well.
Are there human groups that don't educate their children?

Human inventions and discoveries can definitely be lost/forgotten (the bow and arrow was forgotten at some point on the way to Australia, hence boomerangs and atlatls). People from cultures that don't have multiplication and division have the capability to learn it.
Well, if it was _a_ client. But if 100% of clients make the same mistake, then it is the spec that is the problem, or so the argument went.

Title was changed, from "The biggest secret in political science" to "Whichever party is in power, policies tend to be similar" after 1 hour and 35 Comments.

So be aware that a few top level comments will be responding to the "secret revealed" click bait nature of the title.
Jokes aside it's not that nuance doesn't work at scale. It's that many people whose experience is mainly with short-range communication fail to realize or underappreciate that you need different techniques to communicate nuance from a large distance than they are accustomed to using up close. Think about painting.
> The fact that keeping infrastructure safe is "political suicide"

Is this a good reason why politics should always include term limits? It would prevent anyone from NOT doing something that is in the good for the constituents, but is seen as "political suicide". Since no one can be in politics long term, you might as well make the tough decisions.
Right but I think the typography/scan quality and not being able to read the rest of the text for context is leading you astray here - this book is roughly at the level of the more basic Usborne books. It's a long, long way from mentioning lambda calculus.
I remember taking an operating systems class where the professor commented that Unix pipes added overhead because they create extra copies of the piped data. iirc, the kernel has to copy the data from the first process's memory into the kernel's memory and then copy it back into the second process's memory. I wonder what speedups we could see by bundling commonly used pipelines into a single process so the next task in the pipeline can directly read the input data from memory.

Of course, it's not The Unix Way to do this, but if it's the performance bottleneck in your application, maybe it's worth it.
Are you at least going to acknowledge the fact that Tesla can, in span of a few days, and then few days after, push multiple fixes to its entire fleet of vehicles whereas any other manufacturer would have had to physically get those cars in, pay for labor, hire cars, etc.

Are you aware of how often other cars of any brand/class are recalled for issues that Tesla simply pushes OTA to fix? Issues that never makes the news (dozens per week of them) while the OTA does? If you don't know, I suggest you look into it.

The policies put in place aren’t there because of the “wealthy donors”. The “wealthy donors” don’t care about the “War on Crime”, “War on Drugs”, “Pro-Life”/“Pro-Choice” debates, the lack of accountability for the corrupt justice system, “voter integrity” [sic], “protecting the borders”, etc. All of those issues have one thing in common, it’s about keeping “them” in their place.

Yes I’m aware that the “War on Crime” and the “War on Drugs” was perpetrated by the Democratic and Republican Administrations in the 90s.
> you now have more tools to shoot yourself in the foot with

And the tools for managing IPv6 firewall rules suck on "SMB grade" stuff like ubiquiti and are virtually non-existant on any consumer grade router. If I have to SSH into the router and treat it like a "real" router to set up IPv6 firewall rules... it is never gonna fly for anybody who isn't proficient with "real" routers (i.e. >99% of the world).

Hell I'm pretty sure comcast's cable modem doesn't even have IPv6 firewall capabilities and if they do it is default wide open. Thats not what I want. I have no interest in outsiders being able to ping hosts on my network or even know of their existence. I have no interest in letting random IoT devices expose open ports to the entire world (by default).

IPv6 is cool and all, but no consumer gear sets it up even remotely secure. At least with NAT a "script kiddy" grade attacker won't see what is behind your router. NAT isn't perfect but it solves a lot of problems. Not so with IPv6.

Honestly I just don't really see IPv6 replacing IPv4. It introduces too many problems and offers too little benefit. Whatever actually replaces IPv4 will either need to be 10x better than IPv4 in every way or be a completely transparent migration that works with IPv4 "but with more addresses".
I do too.

Look at the tortoise. We know some that have lived two centuries. They have their niche, do what they do, and live a very long time.

Dan Luu is right that public messaging -- and company-wide internal messaging -- tends to be bone simple and incomplete.

What's interesting is that the nuances don't completely fade out of site. They exist in quiet and sometimes quite intricate underground conversations. I've joined organizations where it was howlingly clear that the official messaging was not the way the company really ran.

That invites the question of whether it's worth staying long enough (and being bold enough) to get drawn into the nuanced underground dialogue, too. Sometimes yes. Sometimes that's quite exciting and makes the job more interesting and more durable.

Other times, it's just too hard to wiggle into that circle. Or that circle has its own evasions and power struggles. In those cases, it's easier to meet the basic formal requirements of the job, enjoy the extra time to have a rich life outside of work -- and think hard about what kind of next job would be better.

I think you've lost the thread. Rural vs. urban is just one facet of how our system pits the many against each other while the few benefit. Have you been to rural parts of the country? Most urbanites wouldn't consider the average boonie to be any better than their neighborhood in a city. You know which places are really doing better, certainly better than they actually need? Those with huge average salaries relative to CoL, like Potomac or the Hamptons.
> "cancel culture" is a dumb euphemism for "consequences for your actions."

If by "actions" you mean "saying things you disagree with" and by "consequences" you mean "trying your hardest to permanently deprive them of their livelihood", then sure.

What? Wedge issues are what the people unfortunately want. It gets them jazzed up even though these are not the most impactful issues for most people's lives.

While blame should be placed on politicians who use such issues to drive votes instead of tackling bigger, more boring challenges, we also have to fault the populace for being easily distracted, emotive, etc.
That's great, but it didn't cost anyone anything.

> Joe Rogan is telling the truth about things that the government is lying about

The truth is Rogan just cost Spotify FOUR BILLION DOLLARS. Let's see him conspiracy theory his way out of that. Joe Rogan is intelligent. He couldn't possibly believe what the Trumptards believe... it's just his revenue model of feeding the idiots exactly what they want to hear. No, it isn't true, and he knows it, and until yesterday, he was laughing all the way to the bank. You better believe he's concerned, but he'll double down on pretending not to care. Jesus, $4B. That's a lot of tamales.
So this actually a historial thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_town

I couldn't find anything about protests but people did go on strike in Pullman-Lesson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_town#Pullman_lesson

> Should we take away people's right to protest in that city, since doing otherwise would be compelling speech by the company?

I guess, if they didn't like the protesters, they would just say any protesters are on their property and they have the right to eject them or never even let them in. Whilst it was never built (for other reasons) a good example is the Garden Bridge in London. [1]

Despite this looking like publib infra:

"All groups of eight or more visitors would be required to contact the Garden Bridge Trust to request a formal visit to the bridge,” states Lambeth council’s planning report to its committee, which recommends conditional planning. “This policy would not only assist visitor management but also would discourage protest groups from trying to access the bridge.” [2]

Obviously this hasn't been tested at the city level, but the direction of travel ain't great.

Where by "behave in such manner" you mean people pulling their music from Spotify? Sure, why not? Should they not be allowed to do that?

>Americans don't want these jobs. But corporations don't want small town Americans to blame them for the foreign influx, so they blame Democrats in a constant drum beat on right wing media

It has nothing to do with Americans not wanting those jobs and more to do with undocumented immigration provides a workforce that can be underpaid and wont organize or ask for any benefits under threat of deportation. These farms pay under minimum wage to undocumented workers and provide 0 benefits; why would Americans work them. If either party were actually serious about this issue, they would start with fining corporations, not deportations.

Yeah but even if it isn't simple it is mostly a solved problem at this point. NAT has been around for, what, 15 years now?

And quite honestly the default configurations for IPv6 on consumer routers is "wide the fuck open"--which is not at all what I want. But if they don't make it "wide the fuck open" suddenly you are asking normal people to learn how to punch holes in their firewall.
On a related note, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11370189 has an interesting paper worth reading.

What systems are completely unrelated? DOS led to Windows, Linux led to Linux-like commands in FreeDOS. I appreciate the context and, from my point of view, credibility of the author to bring some history into the development of modern tools.
It's telling that these pieces advocating political nihilism always come from the right. Probably because a politically disengaged populace puts more power in the hands of the elites.
I don't know what you meant by "uniquely targeted to me", but we don't uniquely target any user here. Everyone sees the same things. See https://hn.algolia.com/?query=silo%20by%3Adang&dateRange=all.... One exception to that is the 'hide' feature, which people can use to hide stories they don't want to see. But that's users targeting themselves.
There's the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl which seems pretty standard.

If I were interviewing you, and this happened, you could take a different path and absolutely dazzle me:

“I did this at another interview, and here’s how I solved it. But now that I’ve had time to think about it, I’d do this differently instead because...”

That demonstrates honesty, insight, and great problem solving skills. If you could pull that off, I’d give you a strong yes.
You seem to be entirely disregarding the person who wrote the post we are commenting on?
Maybe it's just me, but I like the idea of loadlin. You are given a choice between two OS, running on bare metal, without the dual-boot. You can instantly boot up into DOS to do some quick experiment or something, and then you could load Linux when/if you need it.
US politics is increasingly tribal because of the realities described. The irony is the political landscape is controlled by the DNC & the RNC, who are effectively the political equivalent of Mastercard and Visa. No other parties can get on a debate stage or any airtime. The two political machines are partnered with huge corporate media companies to manipulate popular opinion, instill fear and rage and to destroy any coherent opposition, including within those two manufactured and manipulated tribes

UX is very hard.

I've been approaching it in terms of visitor archetypes, like in the case just now of a person who doesn't know what you're about, or someone looking for the spec, etc. What questions do they have, and can it be answered easily.

I also think being deliberate about where you draw attention to is big. Colors, images, do they serve a function or are they merely to fulfill an aesthetic? Regardless of why you put them there, for better or worse, they will draw the eyes of your visitors. Possibly away from what they are looking for.
Probably because the author is the founder of the FreeDOS project and wanted to provide some context for his motivation.

As an American, even the poorest have other options besides working in fields. If you told an Amazon warehouse worker that they could make $36 an hour to work in a field instead of $18/hour ho work in a warehouse, how many would take them up on the offer?
I second Fastmail for email & calendar.

The key vendor lockin that has made it hard for me to get away from Google Workspace (f/k/a GSuite) is Google Docs. Lots of people in my work and personal life share and collaborate on Google Docs. That's not easy to deal with unless your email address is on the Google platform.

I tried and desperately wanted to like Microsoft's equivalent Office 365 or whatever its called now. I quickly learned that to administer Microsoft's product requires a full time job. It's horrendously buggy, complex and not catered to SMBs.

Microsoft Office itself is pretty good and Word's collaboration features are approaching parity with Google's. But administering a domain in Microsoft world is just not worth the effort. Google Workspace's domain admin panel, on the other hand, seems to strike the right balance between features and complexity and more-or-less works as expected.

I am really trying to move my life away from Google, but as long as folks in my sphere use Google Docs, that is hard to do. If Google Docs doesn't concern you, I fully endorse Fastmail and have used it in my personal life since 2017.

If it's smart, it's vulnerable. Many IOT devices are very chatty and phone home. Voice recordings can even be pulled from Alexa with the right tools. And people sometimes don't even change the default password for their devices, meaning anyone can login and see when their house is empty and rob them.
I've been digging more into Rust, and things not working because I forgot to import the trait drives me bonkers. Like, you create a struct, you build an implementation, you implement a trait on it, you try and use it in another module, you can't, you feel like you must have goofed something, you hack around for an hour, oh you remember you forgot to import the trait you already implemented, you open up HN in a fury.... Is there a really important reason rustc doesn't know what traits are implemented on what structs? It can't be a dependency graph thing, it has to know about the struct in the first place.
> Of course I assume this will only apply to narrow issues such as right wingers being deplatformed.

This argument goes both ways. Don't most people who think Big Tech should be allowed to keep censoring people because of the First Amendment, also think that the First Amendment shouldn't apply to corporations when it comes to Citizens United?
This is an aggressive take. I don't entirely disagree, but it gives people the emotional fuel to dismiss our opinions as cracked. I prefer using mundane "greed" to explain the utter fuckery and torture the last 2 years have been.

The past 5 years have seen constant, back-to-back gaslightings. And, I am surrounded by people who think it's all normal.

A busybody at my place of business revels in dangerously libeling unvaccinated people as "plague bearers". The world is so filled with comfortable useful idiots like that who have NO IDEA how much ego death (or worse) awaits them when/if they find out they were duped.
I'm going to switch to fastmail. Purelymail looks appealing but it seems less established. I may try it for my non-main e-mail.

It's not just corporate communication.

Post on any internet forum about some minor drawbacks of Technology X, and the comments will instantly split between those who feel personally offended and must defend the sanctity of X, and those who take the post as proof that X must not be used at all. People love to think in black & white. People don't like to parse "A if (B and (C or not-D))". It takes much training and discipline to overcome the instinct for simplification.

You can clarify yourself and correct any misunderstandings if you're in a small group that shares a lot of context, but this quickly becomes impossible as the group gets larger. Even competent statesmen struggle to convey "A if B else C" in their speeches.
