Maybe, but it would be better if the personal info is not stored outside the computers of the people who agreed to share it amongst eachother than, as far as I understand with blockchain, having it stored everywhere (decentralized) and immutable (forever); while that has it's place to prevent censorship, it is seems not to fit social networks.

> the earliest form of mass speech and the one most directly comparable to publishing something to your "1000 Twitter followers"

But that's not what they're calling mass speech.

It's not helpful to take someone's post and change the definitions out from under them.

To rephrase it without that term: Printing press scale speech is great. This new ability that twitter gives us, trivially reaching millions, was not foreseeable hundreds of years ago, is causing problems, and should be treated differently.

I know this is a weird suggestion, and doesn't cover the missing fulfillment of raising kids. If having progeny is a concern of yours perhaps sperm donation might be something to think about. You can donate with the stipulation that any resultant children will be allowed to look you up if they wish later in life.
> If it’s not in the code base or documentation, I’m assuming that it was done for expedience.

That sounds exactly like the kind of judgement the article talks about.
“Digital logic design isn’t even remotely similar to real electrical circuits. Too simplistic theory for complex things like even a single CMOS transistor is.”

The problem with your argument is we know too little about higher level brain operation to make any confident comparisons like that.
I absolutely miss the Wired of the 1990's.
When it was a magazine, no THE magazine, to read about the intersection of culture and tech. In this day and age, I find it hard to pickup a copy of Wired at the airport because it has content for about 5 minutes.
One of my favs is still Monocle, but it doesn't have much tech. Unfortunately.
The results reflect other polls I’ve seen…

My only conclusion is that everyone else had shitty 2 hr commutes in heavy traffic from their large house with extra rooms.

Others, like myself, had a pleasant subway ride playing games/listening to music from my cramped tiny apartment.
This is stated like it is an absolute fact, not a reflection of our hyper-capitalist society. I would argue that reducing education to a content curator is harmful to what it aims to be, although the analogy is not entirely inaccurate, unfortunately. Is education an infotainment service or a search for the truth? The latter requires a free exchange of ideas and informed debate, although this is rarely encouraged in our current school system.
> including the EAD that, if followed as by the first flights with recorded MCAS issues, offered a prevention for the subsequent crashes

The one that was followed by the Ethiopian pilots and the plane still crashed, resulting in the grounding of the 737 Max by all aviation authorities bar the FAA?

There's also no pointless commute. No wear and tear on the car. No carbon emissions. No wasted time. Also no risk of injury if you get into an accident.

And even if you bike to work that latter point still stands due to the passively homicidal assholes driving cars out there.
> Chaos is felt less by the people creating it.

This is a super important point if you're a founder who has never been an employee before. It is impossible to understand it unless you've been in this situation yourself.
You're actually very wrong on this point at a very basic level.

You can't be really good at something by focusing only on it.

To be good at software design, you need to be good at understanding computers and people. You need to understanding programming, design, marketing, hiring, management, etc.

Scott Adams developed this into a concept he named "The Talent Stack".

You can easily verify it: find billionairs who got rich from X, study their profile, you will find they have a wide range of skills outside of X.

For any such X you can also find many individuals with exceptional ability/knowledge about X but not much else, and they are often far less successful from people with a wide range of skills.
What amazes me most about that crash video is that there are no airbags deployed. You explained that racing safety systems don't belong in street cars. But I didn't expect the reverse as well.
Yea this point alone hit me like a freight train. I have to reflect on this.

As a corollary I would also add that the fact that the chaos is felt is often not overtly communicated. Intuitively you'd expect people to react like the house is on fire, but it is closer to when the music stops and people no longer know what to do. That's what real chaos looks like.

Wont this have a huge impact on all banks? If I had this I'd shut down my bank account and just have this + investments. Banks offer too low yields to be worth while. I think digital currencies are the future but it would have a huge affect on banks and payments companies.
> I trust the USG.

FDR defaulted on the gold bonds, stealing from those bond holders.

Just last year, the government took 7% of your dollars (via inflation).

> The value of a currency comes from a government

More specifically, it comes from the issuing entity. For example, a cashier's check is only as good as the bank that honors it. Same for a credit card.

Did you know that banks historically issued their own currency? I suppose everyone has forgotten American Express Travelers' Cheques, which were bank issued currency.
The U.S. isn't an entity capable of consideration. There's some wizard of oz style trickery going on here. If you pull back the curtain, you'll find a gaggle of corrupt bureaucrats pulling levers that control the illusion of the state.

Who wants money with surveillance and control built into it? Imagine a future where you post some wrongthink on social media and your dollar crypto wallet is automatically disabled by a precrime AI.

No thanks.
Most of the article is clickbait. You can get EB2 sponsored from a run of the mill startup in SF Bay Area. Only thing worked for you is you were not born in India or China. Everything else you did was probably harder than actually getting a job and getting a sponsorship. 100% of companies that are halfway decent will sponsor you if you manage to get a job in the Bay Area(Hint: Its very easy if you're already in the US on some visa). Also, your statement about 5 years in a job to get GC sponsorship is pure BS.
I'm sorry, but no. Such criminal negligence isn't excusable by "decisions were made higher up". Human lives are at stake with aviation, the engineers implementing this should have known better and refused.
I miss how it was prior to the pandemic, and would happily office 5 days a week if I could get that back.

However knowing that it's never likely to be the same, as people get used to WFH and companies realise they can save a load of money without creating incentives to get people in an office, the office is going to be far less desirable.

I'm down for a mix or even WFH, but I miss the socialising greatly.
True there are a whole litany of reasons.

I dont think anyone works harder than the self employed.

I've done 80hrs straight, and I've not met anyone who has been at work for longer than that. Not parents, not nurses, coppers or soldiers, or cleaners.

I've gone with out food for 18days, just water. And I'd do it again if I needed to.

I've slept on the streets, had people want to beat me up but for their sake, I'm glad they didnt try!

Stupidity really annoys me, but as noone ever gets their exam paper back and checks their answers against the text books, how can anyone claim to be qualified? An exam result is little more than a medal or some other form of social division with an element of social conformity.
> I'm happy to wear it even if in the future it turns out they weren't helping significantly.

I guess that's where we differ. I believe we should make our best decisions based on what science predicts. If there's unlikely to be a significant benefit, some are not happy to wear it. You are, but that's a personal choice.

There are lots of sacrifices we could make that would have an immediate and more tangible impact on health outcomes. Outlaw motor vehicles, mandatory vegetables, end alcohol sales. We don't do that because it would piss people off.

Given that my comment immediately rose to the top of the thread and then stuck there, I have some evidence that people think it's a good suggestion.

Just because you don't see how it's a good suggestion doesn't mean it's not.
Correct, but it's more subtle than that. FAR's are prescriptive. To carry passengers a plane from the pilot's perspective must have that linear increase in stick pressure required to pull into a stall, otherwise it can't be certified for carrying passengers.

This is part of why the MCAS could not be decoupled from the flight computer as I recall. If you turned off MCAS, you'd be non-compliant in the wind-up turn flight regime, and when coming in on final if I recall correctly.

So in aerodynamic parlance it is stable, but with disqualifying flying characteristics that had to be mitigated via a gadget whose nature, failure modes, and existence was largely hidden from the pilot, and downplayed in the FMEA/FMECA. (Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis)

This downplaying was specifically intended to keep regulators from stipulating enhanced training for pilots. Thereby saving money.
So, are they neo-nazis, or not?
It was a rhetorical device to support conservatism from the beginning. Chesterton was using it to defend Catholicism, but it works just as well for racial segregation, slavery, voting rights restrictions, any status quo.
For me, the two aren't conflated, and I still find that I prefer some office time. I have the ability to work from home or work remote, so I often do that. But I live in China, so social life is rather normal these days (modulo the occasional restrictions).

Like another commenter said, I find it easier to care about the concerns of people around me, so if that's a bunch of people at my company then I'll care more about them and what they need. It makes a difference for me if physical presence and work presence are aligned.

Probably for a similar reason, I've found that I can't reach 100% productivity consistently (over weeks) unless I'm in an environment where people around me are working. So that means finding a coworking space wherever I go.

Also, in-person conversation is so much higher bandwidth than anything else. Those couple hundred ms of latency do matter. Being able to party on the same physical whiteboard is really nice.
> being able to stop by someone's desk and shoot the shit or see what they're working on

So long as the other person feels the same way. One of the reasons I enjoy working from home is people can no longer wonder by and shatter my concentration because they're on a break. They can ping me in chat and I'll get to it in my break.
I live alone and I'm still pretty pleased almost two years into not seeing people face-to-face.
The 737 Max is already abusing the platform beyond what it could handle, and it's still less efficient than the A320neos, and even less so than the A220s. Boeing need a new short-haul platform, like a decade ago :)
Thank you, somehow these words bring positivity in me.
Then the correct and simple solution is to rip out the MCAS and re-train all the pilots.
> Bugs in the system

And most of all, and the truly inexcusable part, zero redundancy.
I didn't hear anyone say personality tests gave them anxiety. People said Tinder was better because you didn't have to fill out a profile.
> The USD as a default currency gives many benefits to the US (e.g., essentially free money).

This is not true. USD as a default reserve currency is bad for US since US is no longer a net producer economy. What happens is other countries like China which are net producer economies take our paper dollars and invest it in our hard assets - such as stocks and real estates essentially inflating their prices and pricing out many US citizens. If you look at the foreign ownership trend of these assets over recent years, this is quite clear.
I think you're really discounting the poisonous influence that management can have here. As a Quality Assurance person, my number one mental tic is the "I told you so" that inevitably follows an executive override.
I have found that I usually work better when I am in the office. Getting 5 kids to understand that I am at work is really hard.

I also appreciate the separation of work and home that my commute provides.

Also while I am very much allowed to work from home the customer I work with really live the effect that we older teammates have on younger ones. (The young ones currently in the teqm in my team are brilliantly smart and hardworking, we just share experience so they don't have to learn everything the hard way.)
Inkscape has had the same basic UI for about a decade. I just upgraded this week on my machines to 1.1.2 after using 0.96 for a long while, and I felt at home still. Inkscape's UI hasn't changed much because there's really no other UI for SVG stuff. Look at Adobe Illustrator and you'll see that modulo some very small differences, there's a lot of the same UI in the same place or nearly the same place.

What has seriously improved in Inkscape over the last decade is definitely performance. Every release, I see major perf improvements.

Blender and GIMP have both had major UI overhauls, but Blender has seen the largest. in 2019, Blender threw out their old UI and built a whole fresh one for 2.80. 2.80's UI absolutely brought it up to the same par that a lot of professional tools are at now.

I will also mention that Blender is being used __In Industry__. In 2019, Ubisoft began tossing money into the funding pool & is using it internally for their animation: https://www.blender.org/press/ubisoft-joins-blender-developm... & there's a few places it's been confirmed to be in use over in the Techways course on blender: https://techways.online/courses/blender/lessons/blender-basi...

But to your point about community: Something I had to learn long ago was that all projects, open source or not, push against "Change for Change's Sake." Several attempts had been made at updating Blender's overall look and feel but with mixed reception, even from within.

The best way to get something done in any part of a well established ecosystem is to rally some friends, get a good proof of concept working, and present it. This is how three major changes in Linux have been done: Lennart Poettering, as much as you might disagree with him, stood up and said "Sound on linux sucks because you have to do a bunch of ioctl shit. Let's make a good API and a sound server to go along with it so you get all the advantages of modern audio routing". He then stood up again and said "you know what, sysV init sucks too, let's make something that handles the configuration for the vast majority of the peripherals on a system and the services that depend on those peripherals."

The fact of the matter is that most Open Source is maintained in the spare time between meetings and shifts flipping burgers:

* Lots of FOSS projects are one person maintained, in their spare time, more and more by people working dead end hourly jobs like retail. Seriously.
* The big ones out of companies are probably maintained by zero people full time.

Please note that none of those are one-off incidents or perpetrated by a rogue party. All of the above were concerted efforts by the United States federal government that were carried out for years on end and, in almost all cases, have yet to be formally apologized for, with some continuing as I type this.

Edit: additionally, the Federal Reserve is not part of the United States government, and is instead owned by Citibank, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, BNY, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Mizuho Bank, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, among others.

Does anyone know how this would work?

Would it just be a pointer (a digital key sitting on your device) to an account at the central bank holding your dollars? Or is something more elaborate?

Would it allow anonymized holders of digital USD? If not how would they handle know-your-customer (KYC)? If so, how would they prevent evil people like Kim Jong Il or Carrie Lam holding USD?
Why is that the relevant metric?
This was a terrific article, I remember reading it maybe two years ago. As a self-taught software developer, I've noticed a critical difference between those with a degree fresh out of school and those with experience, a difference which is touched upon in the article. Those with experience know when to say "to implement that, I need to study". But those with a fresh degree rarely know to say "to implement that, I need experience". The author directly accuses software developers and software management inexperienced in the field of aviation as a cause of the failures.

The author's name is Gregory Travis, and this abridged paragraph stands out to me:

> Another difference is between the autopilots in my system and that in the 737 Max...
> ...the system simply goes off-line and alerts the pilot that she is now flying manually.

Why would the author refer the themself in the female? Is Gregory a female name too, or is this some literary device that I don't understand?
This what happens when politicians control the placement of nuclear plants. The scientist and engineers picked a much better location for the plant, but were overridden, and a political favor moved the location.

The engineers mentioned they needed a large seawall to protect the plant from the frequent tsunamis, and were overridden because it cost too much.

Nuclear can be safe, but you have to keep politics out of it.

He's talking about this at a school. The fundamental premise of a school is that someone is going to decide what is and is not valuable to learn. And that there is an authority (embodied in the teacher) who has the power to decide what will and will not be discussed in class.

Assuming you mean what you wrote, you may be arguing for abolishing the public school system. In principle that seems like an interesting idea, but the rest of your post isn't quite congruent with that so it seems possible you've missed that this part of the thread is about school curriculum.

I'm on a desktop using FF with uBO, both with fairly locked-down configs, and it doesn't work for me. That is, both websites eventually lead to a broken page because of too many redirects, and the URLs in the URL bars of each tab do not contain the same ID.

Without digging too deep into what your websites are doing, I did notice that they're trying to set / read cookies, which is a) being blocked by uMatrix in general, and b) perhaps being blocked by me having configured FF to block third-party cookies in particular.

Just wait until you pick up a fashion magazine.

(Seriously though: for many types of magazine the ads are the larger point, and the editorial content insofar as it’s not itself a sophisticated ad — cf. Vogue — is there to stimulate your mind while you contemplate the ads. Which are, very often, really good.)
This was my first thought as well. Their tool for managing builds (Hydra [1]) was pretty simple to set up last time I tried.
