It's a bit more than a pet peeve for me. It's exactly shirking any ability to perform or judge analysis, instead granting total deference to "authorities" that should be cited to provide credibility.
Completely agree. I've seen websites delete whole pages and heavily censor remaining ones because somebody complained to Google that their sensibilities were offended. Advertisers should not have this power.
Hypothesis is a really interesting platform, but in my mind it's kind of too community-focused. Hypothesis's restricted groups (https://web.hypothes.is/help/annotating-with-groups/) are closer to what I think people would want, but to get them you'll have to self-host.

Not trying to throw shade at them, but I feel like their push for annotations is hampered a little bit by how much their specific implementation of accounts and permissions feels like yet another social network, with all of the negatives that entails. There are other issues as well, but that's the big one that kept me using the platform.

That being said, there is also an Open standard for this stuff that I remember at the time it came out being pretty excited about. But I haven't seen much if any adoption of it, so it again makes me wonder if there's something wrong with it or if it's just that nobody has made anything super-attractive yet to take advantage of it.
The really big wins happen when you get a framework in place that gives you a formal language like Gherkin for expressing what needs to be tested. That's a win because it starts giving product a way to specify requirements that are both clearer and more explicitly test-like. That starts integrating test design into the spec process as opposed to having test design happen during the implementation process.
Just wanted to chime in and say I think that awesome of your dad. And if he goes forward with it, perhaps document (twitter or a blog) the journey - the ups and the downs and everything in between. It could be cool to see him share some wisdom with the younger generations along the way. I think he'd find that community would rally around him too. All the best!

Not exactly. Women have the power to choose abortion but men don't. Men however are liable for financially supporting the child. The greater risk is with the man.

There are a lot of men who would love to have the confidence of not having to trust every woman he sleeps with. "Stealing" babies from men and the fear of that is real.

> seemingly small (implicit) assumptions like this that can have huge implications on results necessitates skepticism toward academic economics

It mostly just means you need to be very careful in interpreting the results, or be careful when someone uses it to motivate policy prescriptions as they themselves may have a questionable interpretation — like with any academic finding.

I hope comment-think pieces like this aren't a norm going forward, as that was pretty brutal to read... "Molly White: so brave." This comes off as Twitter-zens getting together to criticize an insular, tribal world not too different from their own. The worst part of online culture is the snark. For what it is worth, much of the debate on crypto comes from people new to the space, and the long standing critics. For a lot of folks in it for longer, they've given up on the debate as the same arguments get recycled every several years.

That aside, those two quotes "get it," and I was surprised to see them. Crypto has turned into meme culture by and large. But, the tech and design considerations behind btc comes out of one of the most impactful techno-ideological groups out there - the cypherpunks, with a strong helping of post-2008 anger included. btc and notable other parts of crypto, and supporting technology codifies that group's view of the world: permissionless, trustless, private digital action. This is the area to understand when studying crypto.

They viewed it as critical to build three capabilities in digital interactions: private browsing, private comms, private spending. Well, they slowly built all three - Tor, PGP/consumer encryption, and then BTC. Tor and consumer access to encryption has had a tremendous effect, even beyond intense privacy circles. BTC is newer, but what are the odds it won't do the same? Judging by history and cypherpunk movement, it seems silly to ignore it. '08 wasn't too long ago, and not much has changed in the practices that caused the crash. BTC still remains a/the only warts-and-all viable way out of that system.

For what it's worth, here is how I place a value crypto[0]

This is one of my pet peeves, too. I shouldn't have to find some pixels of unused space on a title bar before clicking on it lest I bring down another menu or launch something. Microsoft programs seem to be enamored with the "search input box in the title bar" concept. Give me a magnifying glass, and drop down the input box or something. I want to be able to just grab the title bar and move the window.
We have Starlink because of new and expanding launch opportunities. Starlink is very helpful (I work at a farm and before Starlink we had very poor internet options) for people the world over.

Can we build a new generation of space based asteroid observers? I know that this is a reactive approach but I don't see those constellations coming down. We could prevent expansion but they are damned helpful. In the past space telescopes were a big affair to launch one system. But what if we launched a constellation of 100 or 500 space based telescopes? Is there a way to move forward to solve this? Or what is the solution?

In both crypto tokens and startup equity, you are literally gambling that there will be a liquid market for your asset.

Tokens _are_ worthless if no one wants to buy them, and pretending that is somehow different than startup equity is ignorant at best and downright predatory in the worst cases.

Crypto growth overall does not mean _your_ token is going to gain value anymore than the general growth of the economy means that startup equity is going to grow in value.

Litigation financing - funding the lawsuit in exchange for a percentage of recovery - is not limited to class actions. I knew someone that was in a firm that did this. Everything I ever heard about it from him made it sound like it was run in a very similar manner to venture capital firms. I never once heard the word "loan" or any indication that the risk of losing every penny invested on a specific lawsuit was anything other than "high".

Now, these firms aren't very likely to even take a meeting from the type of law firm that advertises on billboards or TV.
I had a very weird relationship with those games.

Technically, I was probably born into a world where they had already revolutionised gaming -- I was a couple years late to watch it unfold personally.

On the other hand, I didn't grow up in an extremely well-off household, and our computers were for a long time pretty much dumpster-dive finds. This meant I was always exposed to hardware a few years old, which in turn meant I got to witness the technical revolution in real time, a few years after the cultural Revolution. (In other words, when Doom had taken over the world, I still couldn't play it. But a few years later, I could, and marvelled at what the computer could do.)

In another twist of fate, one of my parents strongly disliked that type of entertainment, and once they understood what I was doing, there was a strict ban on (most) violent media. (With very unclear boundaries of what constitutes violence.)

So, in effect, I missed the revolution, caught a glimpse of it, and then got cut off from it.

Reading Masters of Doom gave me back a chunk of my childhood that I feel was taken from me, in a weird sort of way.
Well that's a masterful stroke. I use GDB all the time not only for userspace but also the kernel. Its always sorta painful though for the exact reason that using tui and getting it to display variables, code, dissasembly, etc tends to require jumping through about 20 commands (usually via a gdb script) to see how the behavior is changing over time.

So, I'm not really sure why it took this long to catch up to the TUI debuggers from the late '80's (ala turbo debugger/etc).

Makes me want to integrate some of these windows with the kernel gdb scripts.

KDE 4 has been fine since 2012 or so.

I used KDE 4 from the first alpha versions (~2007) and never quit using it. However, I had friends who didn't like the mess that KDE 4 was in the beginning and who were very verbose about the good KDE 3 features they were missing and the new behavior they didn't like.

However, at some point they saw that the very few things they were still missing were neglectable compared to the good things that KDE 4 brought with it.

Nevertheless, 2007 to 2012 were 5 years during which it wasn't easy to be a KDE user ;-)
While partly true, that is true of any asset (dollars in/dollars out). However your statement that fortunes are not created, they are redistributed is incorrect. The value is not a 1 to 1 relationship with inflows. The value is based on supply/demand. If demand outstrips supply, value goes up regardless of how much $ is flowing in or out. You can see large price swings even on days with low volume.
More disturbing to me is that most TPMS transmissions have a unique ID associated with them making it trivial to track a given vehicle. Many vehicles only transmit pressure when prompted, but I have definitely noticed those which constantly transmit. Usually Toyota.

> Thus the only people allowed to discuss crypto are seemingly those with a financial interest in token prices going up. Funny how that works.

> Funny how that works.

This rhetorical device is tiring and divisive, please stop. I have no interest in crypto other than some coins I bought years ago that constitute a negligible portion of my portfolio and a passing interest in IPFS. I think the space is full of fraud and it would take a full-time enthusiast to find what's not. But there's no need to spread FUD like the person I responded to, nor is there any reason to say silly things like "funny how that works" and wink derisively at some cryptobro conspiracy. If crypto fails it will fail, and then you can laugh at it all day like everyone does to Theranos and WeWork. Until then stick to factual statements. The GP claims that nobody wants to work on crypto. I have no idea how your "funny how that works" sneer has anything to do with the original claim. Stop moving the goalposts to score internet points in an anti-crypto echo chamber.

I commented earlier that I left the top down or doors unlocked on my convertibles. A window or a cut top is far more expensive to replace than my $100 aftermarket radio. I’ve actually had a radio faceplate stolen once.
Opposite anecdote, I would be happy to take a 30% paycut to work on (some) crypto projects and actually do 60+ hours of work (I do like 10 hours in my cushy job now). Unfortunately, I am not in SV and don't have a padded a resume, and they are flooded with better applicants - so I can't even compete.

Molly provides a great service to skeptics like me. She concise, easy to read, articulate and funny.

I feel like I live in a world where a huge train wreck is getting set up. I would like to follow along but it has gotten to the point where I can't get myself to read many of these 'News' stories about a new crypto adventure. I only have a little news reading time in a day and the typical article about NFTs or whatever leaves me feeling assaulted by a hype machine. But I can peruse web3isgoinggreat and stay abreast of what is going on.

Molly obviously has an opinion about the future of blockchain money but her comments all seem factual and fair to me. I'm pretty sure I would read her site even if I were on the other side of the argument.

LOOP is better than ITERATE because I don't have to load a library to use it, and I don't have to tell my colleagues learning Lisp to "please ignore the built in iteration construct and instead use the one that has more parentheses from this library."

Also note that LOOP is an S-expression. Just because there are more sub-lists doesn't make it more or less of an S-expression.

> -5kg of carbon per m2

That machine that chews up the road and lays it back down, how many kg of carbon per m2 does it burn?

I think too you have to compare the lifetime pollution of a bitumen patch versus the point source pollution of grinding a road up in the open air and putting it back down. There's going to be a ratio of resurface vs patch that has a lower cost than using either strategy exclusively. Especially if you use their chemistry for patches, instead of resurfacing.
I appreciate your reply. You dug into a claim I made and lay out your criticisms dispassionately, thanks. This is the kind of discourse I'd like to see more of.

> This stuff is scrubbed from his website, and Adjoint doesn't even appear on his LinkedIn profile. But I can easily see why that might be the case if he's decided the whole field is rubbish and left the industry, or if his work is being misconstrued.

Gives his passionate publishing against Blockchains I'd prefer he not hide this aspect of his past and actually talk about it. I guess I didn't know that he had moved on from Adjoint so that does add more credibility to his beliefs. But removing it from his website, removing it from LI, and neglecting to talk about it in public can certainly cast some doubt. I'm sympathetic to your view as well though.

This fails to explain a very easy-to-observe conundrum in the US:

Religious and other highly-conservative groups on the right practice exactly the same sort of shame, shunning, reactivity, and condemnation behaviors. They've practiced them longer than "woke" has been a thing[0].

Yet they get to rail about these things in the press without being told to take the log out of their own eye by either their own members or the supposedly-hostile press. The public lets the right set the agenda on "PC" or "woke" discussions instead of simply rolling their eyes and being like "how can the group that is trying to cancel people for not being obsequious enough to Trump say shit like this?"

It clearly isn't a communication style thing alone that results in people disliking it, or results in it being ineffective with some people. People who identify any complaint about any white person's behavior w.r.t. race as a personal attack on them don't care about the framing, they care about the message. "We fixed racism in the 60s, stop trying to be reverse racist" and stuff like that.
