The overwhelming majority of people who interact with a given issue on social media are not psy-ops operators or 4chan trolls. Speaking from a deeply shameful amount of experience interacting with given issues on social media, at most we're talking 3%.

This is beside the point, though. If misinformation meant robots and Russian conspirators, sure, ban it- it won't matter because arguments are not won by counting advocates, and there is very little of this anyway.

But it doesn't, and you've said as much above. Wildly incorrect and/or dangerous beliefs are not 'bad' speech. They are precisely the speech that 'free speech' is intended to protect; speech that disagrees with or threatens the establishment is the only speech that has ever been under attack. More of it is better.

If good speech is somehow drowned out by bad, people will start learning to seek out trustworthy sources again. People are not stupid. The ones that are don't spend their days reading and writing. And even the morons have every right to choose what they believe from the infinite set of possibilities.

Whales in the Cliff Face
If someone said they came up with a spreadsheet that quantitatively proves that Homer's Odyssey is a worse piece of art than the Mona Lisa, would you go through their quantitative analysis, or simply dismiss their argument on the face of it?

Education's value to society and the individual is inherently unquantifiable with today's tools. Maybe someday we will have a mathematical model of the human mind and a theory of socio-economics that can actually handle such things, but we are extremely far from anything of the sort.
I couldn't agree more. Also this person scandalizing and stirring things up sounded to me like trying to weapponize public opinion for personal gain.

I know from other, let's call the traditional, authors that classical book royalties were more in the 10 - 20 percent range for printed books. The upper range if you were a long published best seller with bargaining power.

So I was already irritated when he stated that 40% exclusive royalty (as a not so well known author I assume) was very little earnings per book. Without providing context that already was him trying to weapponize my opinion (at least that was how it felt to me).

Publishing that one feels there is an error on Audibles side in calculating royalties is not only legitimate but appreciated by me. I want to know that errors occur and ideally how they are fixed. Trying to manipulate me into enragement "porn" and wesponizing public outrage might be good for business or might feel like a valid approach when feeling wronged by Goliath but is - at least on my side - just off-putting.

So I do wish for all authors to be compensated based on the contracts they have with Audible. But I couldn't care less about this person's vendetta.
> Besides the fact that cocoa on mac has evolved over a decade

Arguably longer -- Cocoa itself goes back to NextStep in the mid-90s, and the Mac focus on UX goes back a decade before that.

But, I don't think it's just the books -- starting with the NextStep era, the tooling (Xcode and, before that, Interface Builder) was part of it, and the whole "follow the Human Interface Guidelines" ethos going back to the 68K Mac days genuinely created a culture of UI-obsessed nerds, not just inside Apple but in the whole third-party developer ecosystem, that I haven't seen anywhere else. While I genuinely don't think it's fair to say that open source developers don't care, they don't care at the same level that the Mac historically has, and you see that in all sorts of tiny little details that seem individually inconsequential -- like the "broken by design" folder selection you describe above -- but collectively add up.

Well, I'll back off the "haven't seen anywhere else" a bit; I met a couple folks working on Qt when I was at Nokia circa 2010, and they seemed to be that level of deeply involved opinionated UX nerd. (Which genuinely surprised me, I confess, because my impression of Qt before starting there was…maybe not the best?) But it's not something I saw carried through by third-party Qt developers outside Nokia/Trolltech.

One could make a good case that Apple's taken their eye off the ball in terms of UX over the last few years, making unforced form-over-function errors and biffing aesthetic details in ways one suspects they just wouldn't have a decade ago. Even so, there's a cohesion to the design that I don't generally feel on other platforms. I'm not convinced the "convergence" that the linked article described is the way to go to address this, either. (As others have pointed out, the apps Apple makes using their own "convergence-focused" toolkits like Catalyst have tended to be their wiggiest.)

I feel the same. It‘s really strange that the „forensic accountant“ suggests to calculate the royalty from the retail price, is that common practice anywhere? At least in my country, everything business related is calculated from the net prices.

However, what may not be clear for creators is that they will mostly sell their books cheaper than retail because of the subscriptions.

I don‘t understand the hype/gate.
> Once you’ve defined lists as a number, 1 is suddenly a list if it wants to be. And this contributes to the difficulty of finding the right error message: what you asked for is possible after all.

The key part is more expressive power makes good error messages harder.

Maybe Rust is right to make + overloadable, but not literals, which is how it makes the better error (as described in the piece), but I am not sure. Perhaps someone uses Complex number or Fixed Point literals a lot can chime in.

Racket's teaching languages are the wisest of all. Beginners and experts want different things, and there is no good reason we have our cake and eat it too, catering to their needs separately while allowing full code interop.
Doesn't asking that Caplan spend one second longer on his calculations automatically rule out everything else that anyone has ever said about the subject?

That's the most interesting part of this for me - nobody's saying "you're missing some important factors, and let's add them." People are saying, "I don't know that you included all the factors, so I am going to go back to reading opinion columnists for whom 'factor' is not a word."

Has everyone thought about the fact that the alternative to spreadsheets is policymakers putting their hands on their hips and saying, "Yep, $30k sounds about right for this month?"
As others have pointed out, I am not suggesting (nor do I think) that only experts should be allowed to speak on a given subject.

However, it is my (perhaps vain) hope that people understand that there is value in expertise. I highly recommend the following read: it's something so many people get wrong, and it's highly pragmatic.

Would you be willing to share some of the languages/frameworks that have made the cut or washed out for you based on the rubric you’ve given. I’m honestly curious.
No, why would you expect something like "the value of education" to be calculable? Do you think the value of art is calculable?

Sure, in some vague far away future where we can predict human behavior through maths, it is probably possible, though likely forever intractable. But we are so obviously too far from that for it to be worthwhile to check a spreadsheet.

It wasn't until reading your comment that I actually looked at a soccer ball and worked out that they're not all hexagons. Now it feels stupid that I thought they were all the same shape. Funny how long some assumptions are carried - ie. forever if the situation never comes up to challenge it.

(I live in a country where other sports are more popular than soccer, hence I call it soccer not football, so my familiarity with the soccer ball itself is not as intimate as in many European countries).
It looks to me like the statement you quoted as being wrong is indeed wrong, but the technique in the paper is actually doing something different than that, and what it's actually doing does work. This was a clue to that:

> After this assignment, the base and bound of p would be updated to be equal to that of the invalid pointer, and any pointer derived from or aliased with p would inherit this metadata as well (see Section 3.5).

Looking at section 3.5, it sounds like what it's actually doing is keeping a global table of every valid base pointer and its maximum offset, and when you free a pointer, it updates that table accordingly, not just the local variable containing the pointer as it previously said.

That funky thing sounds like it would work in authors' favor overall. I would guess there's some percent of credits that are sold but never used. So if Amazon only paid on on used credits, Amazon would be able to keep that money. If Amazon pays out on sold credits, the authors get it. Although the distribution between the authors can be wrong, leading to some individual authors losing out even if authors overall benefit.

Although if Amazon is always paying out some contractual minimum instead of the shared amount, then none of this makes a difference.
> a bizarre returns policy, where the consumer could return their AB whenever they pleased, and the PRODUCER shouldered the cost.

I don't understand, what's supposed to be bizarre about this policy? Why the seemingly snarky "where the consumer could return their AB whenever they pleased" comment?
I mention RDS because it mostly solves the failover/continuity problem. While failovers on RDS are typically outages, they're also typically quite short lived, no more than a few minutes. That can work for many people/business's requirements. That it is managed means you (in theory) can rely on AWS to manage the underlying infrastructure. You just worry about the SQL. It is a "boring technology" choice, as the article that HN likes to post every now and then says.

Litestream: What are the durability guarantees? (Are there any?) what would make me pick that over RDS or Cockroach? "given that SQLite is just a file, it’s incredibly easy to replicate" — sorry, that just doesn't click with me. What about a file is "inherently easy to replicate"? I would not know how to implement something that wouldn't be O(n) with the filesize. Ideally you'd just sync up changes, but how to get those? Normal DBs with streaming WALs (RDS/PG/MySQL) or Raft-based replication (Cockroach) have good answers there.

Expensify: I skimmed the article, but AFAICT, the article talks about scaling QPS to a single SQLite file, but nothing about replication/durability.
The thing is, Caplan is a distinguished economist sure, but he is an interloper when it comes to education.

As you said, it's also worth noting that the community of "distinguished economists" is itself a fairly insular and politically driven field with a lot of ideological assumptions. That's not to say it's all hogwash, but for as much as Economists love to tell you otherwise it's still a soft-science very vulnerable to convenient abuse of statistics.

For what it's worth, I skimmed over the presentation he linked in the article. One of the first claims he makes is:

"Education and ability (IQ, work ethic, etc.)
are correlated, so raw numbers give education too much
credit."

He then goes on to correct for a "45% ability bias" to income statistics. Without even getting into the problems of correlation vs causation there, it's a perfect example of the foundational assumptions that got his work rejected to begin with.
Part of the problem is that Google started heavily favoring the age of a domain about a decade or so ago. If you spin up a new site, with high quality content, you simply won’t show up in Google for a long time.

Also, the amount of good content today is vastly larger than it was in 2001. Though you are right about the ratio changing.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about wrt prescriptions. I just googled “diazepam” and got all the information on my pharmacy insert, and more. And often, more clearly presented.
I am sorry, your conclusion does not logically follow.

When I saw the reddit example, I thought of quora. Quora will never be a search engine because all users need to stand out is to add something. and what is usually added is garbage.

I mean, you don't have to imagine this, it already happens. People do game Reddit to inject ads, create bots that farm karma then use it to post their content and get them to the front page, etc. The only problem is that (at least some) redditors are incredibly sensitive to this and will go full internet detectives on you.

No, Formula 1 cars are massive. They are light but very large to maximize downforce. There are a rules that define the maximum width and no current F1 car is smaller than that. I'm fact, this year's rules also define a maximum length and some manufacturers needed to shorten their cars.

I think this article misses the fact that Google polices spam/seo hacks via software automation whereas Reddit (in theory) polices it via crowdsourcing and moderators.

It requires continual mining, which means expending electricity. Which shows up as some combination transaction costs or inflation that is continually siphoned off.

Which means new money needs to be perpetually flowing into the system simply to secure the ledger. But that is all wasted, so it is actually a negative-sum wealth transfer if we include all the actual useful things we could've done with the energy.

If you buy beanie babies or gold, there is no such siphoning.
No it is not wrong. In fact you are supporting my point exactly. My question was about the terminology the author was using. Packets are TCP terminology.

Not really. There are hundreds of CAs in the world, any one of which can issue you certs that would cover all possible domains in existence. You could then trivially apply man-in-the-middle attacks to all traffic passing through your systems.

SSL is a good start, but not the complete solution. You need to also harden yourself against those MITM attacks. The best way I know to do that is to run a VPN for your entire local network, to a VPN provider that you trust. And that probably shouldn’t be OpenVPN, but instead WireGuard.

Do that, and you should be reasonably well protected against DPI attacks on your traffic.
