If you have been a CTO/cofounder for "many years" and it is not matching your desired income, then you should not have free time.
Yes, sure, though primarily economic issues—Obamacare, campaign finance, etc.

Opinion polls on issues are important, because two-party politics distorts the signal of what the public really wants. That’s an especially bad problem in America, because race/immigration status splits both the social conservatives (many minorities are socially conservative but caucus with white liberals) and the economic liberals (many white people are economically liberal but caucus with white conservatives).

Abortion is a good example: in both parties the abortion debate is dominated by extremists. If you look at parties, it seems like the country is divided between two extreme positions. But in reality there are lots of pro choice republicans and pro life democrats. And there is actually a broad consensus that abortion should be permissible, but only in the first trimester. Another good example is affirmative action. The Democratic Party establishment loves it, but many democrat voters don’t. Thus, something like Prop 16 fails in California resoundingly even with the nearly universal support of Democratic politicians in an overwhelmingly democratic state.

Of course the exact same things can be said for republicans. The Republican establishment is in love with repealing universal healthcare, while many Republican voters like it.

When we think about the legitimacy of the Supreme Court vis-a-vis the will of the people, it’s important to keep public opinion polling in mind. In the next term, the Supreme Court may will outlaw race-based affirmative action in college admissions, and uphold a 15 week abortion ban. The media will treat both as far right extremism, but both decisions will in fact reflect the popular will.
As someone who left friends and family and language behind to emigrate across an ocean in search of a place with lasting peace and the rule of law and a semblance of human rights, a large scale war in europe strikes deep at my hope that human beings in large groups are even capable of what might be termed civilization. I was of the hope that it is here and just not evenly distributed yet.

I had hoped at least some of our species had learned enough from the big one that we may avoid a repeat. Time will tell, but it's definitely not 100% clear at this point.

This isn't something just happening to others. This is a real-time experiment being run in whether or not humans as a concern can avoid pointless megadeaths whilst continuing to play our monkey status game.
Music and the arts are where I get worried, because I've seen a lot of good people get involved in NFTs.

The regime we had beforehand wasn't working. Spotify royalties were pathetic. The interest in Web3, among artists, comes more from fear for the future than techie opportunism.
The BOTW map is insane, every nook and cranny feels unique and memorable, and the features are spaced out perfectly. There were so many times I felt like I was being clever by eating stamina items to climb a cliff or parasail further… …to find a Korok at the exact spot I “cheated” to get to.

> Shrines and Korok leaves are chores

They’re designed to be fun if you discover them naturally instead of actively trying to get them all.

Getting 13 hearts and two stamina wheels only takes about half the shrines, and I felt like I had plenty of inventory space after 200 or so Koroks, not to mention the “reward” for going to the trouble of getting all of the Koroks

AFAIK European Americans were escaping powerful occupational guilds in Europe which definitely did conspire in secret and not so secret. There was a fear that such guilds would follow them and establish themselves in the US.
>>Even Russia has shown no intention of imposing an autocracy in Ukraine.

Putin runs an established autocracy in Russia (in this case, basically a transnational criminal gang masquerading as a government). Political opponents are openly murdered and jailed on pretext.

Putin himself said that Ukraine should not have a right to exist as a separate state, and that Ukrainians should be under Russian rule. He has already imposed that on Crimea and more.

Russia has now invaded Ukraine specifically in order to impose autocracy in Ukraine.

So how can you make such a statement? (Or should I just read you as one of the idiots who said on 23-Feb-2022 that Russia would never invade Ukraine?)
That opinion piece is by the old leader Nazarbayev, who Tokayev just muscled out of power.
> One thing is for sure, beng judgmental about how people go about improving themselves is a sure-fire way to kill their motivation

Key concept here: motivation. Motivation is not your friend. Motivation is getting you hooked and leaves you cold turkey.
Become independent of motivation. Don't allow motivation to be your scapegoat or you master.

Put $9 a month into a jar and do whatever you want with it if you need it as motivation.

> If you're great at holding yourself accountable then maybe re-reading Getting Things Done every month will work for you, or you can just change things through sheer willpower

If you aren't or you don't have a lot of willpower, then you are lost to the grace of your motivation?

My next free advice: work on your willpower and self accountability. You brush your teeth every day, don't you? Why? Because you hold yourself accountabel. You don't need motivation for this, right? To simple an example? Yes, you are right. We all, myself included, fall apart on the big challenge. Why? Because they are challenging - and it is ok. Stand up and fail better. You aren't a quitter - how many hours of Eldenring are on your clock? Isn't it a damn frustrating game? Yes, until you fail better.
Sometimes failing better needs time, research and/or training.

Ok if you want to spend the money on ops game, more power to you, as long as it helps you to fail better, I give you that.

To conclude: go cold turkey on motivation, learn to hold yourself accountable, improve on willpower and avoid its drains, be kind to yourself. You will fail in all of the above but you have to fail better everytime, thus be kind to yourself, its hard and its hard for all of us. Even when you're thinking it's easy for somebody else, it's not he is just doing it longer.

Thanks for reading my blogpost.

Good luck! It's incredibly hard, not breaking the friendship. I had to block my friend, I just could take discussions any longer. I was being insulted every time and was mentally completely exhausted. Just thinking about it already increases my heartrate.

I'm wondering about your friend. In hindsight I can see some of the behaviour also in how he was when he was young. He always had a bit of a chip on his shoulder (some of it justified being a Turkish emigrant in Germany), and always blamed bad things happening to him on outside influences never on his own behaviour. Very similar how he argues about conspiracies. Is/was that similar with your friend? I'm wondering if there is some pattern.
Different idea: union model. New users can choose to be unaffiliated, but their videos dont get boosted and they have no recourse to AI moderation.

Uploaders form associations where if one uploader gets flagged, the union decides to agree with the moderation, possibly kicking the user for repeat violations, but if the union disagrees with the moderation they can threaten to disable all their videos until the decision is reversed.

google will have to listen to suitabaly large uploaders unions, and its mutually beneficial: moderation gets decentralized
"Refutability" is a more general concept than epistemic legibility, in my opinion. One can (at least attempt) to refute abject nonsense that doesn't actually mean anything by saying "that's abject nonsense, that doesn't actually mean anything."

Other arguments might depend on facts about the world, but attempt to hide those dependencies. A Gish Gallop is one such form of argument. These can be refuted, but the interlocutor has to do a lot of work to highlight the factual errors, and the reasons that the argument depends on them.

An epistemically legible argument does that part of the work for the other party, so the only thing they must do is show which premises are wrong, or which logical dependencies are invalid.

The pre-existing term I've heard that comes closest is the term with the opposite meaning, "Logical Rudeness." https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/4317660/suber_ru...
Some pretty wild conclusions come up, but much of the base material is compelling. Extremely ancient megalithic stone constructions can be found world wide. While it is certainly not the case that "scholars are silent" as asserted here, there is still no particularly well accepted explanation. And it could be coincidence that some of the earliest societies built with large blocks with minimal ornament. It is unfortunate that crackpots dominate the discussion and so hamper reasonable exploration of the subject, but the idea that some extremely old human societies built monuments in this way is not actually all that radical.

And the cyclopean thing is an odd tangent, but does have a pretty well accepted modern explanation. Some fossilized skulls have extremely prominent nasal and sinus cavities that have long led amateur investigators to conclude that there were one eyed giants in the past. This is most likely nothing but a basic error of anatomical analysis. It is difficult to correctly understand fossilized skulls if you don't have a reasonable grasp of the kind of skulls that creatures living today have.

Hey, I am the author of the article. Happy to hear that it works well for you. I have been personally where you are only in office environment, and fair point, it does and can happen that things work smoothly.

That said, I have seen it more not working than working. I think it depends a lot on the environment and conditions that people are working/operating, for example we are a relatively newly formed team (90% of the team joined within last 10-12 months), and we definitely see the outlined problems more, while we learn how it is to work together.

That's a false dichotomy. I see no reason why Google earns any benefit of the doubt here. Letting Google off the hook by saying "it was just am AI mistake" when we don't actually know just gives Google more room to be draconian with no consequences. We really don't know why Google made this mistake and until Google provides a transparent and plausible explanation (hint, that won't happen even if this is decision is reversed), there is nothing wrong with assuming that Google is acting in bad faith.

If Google wants the benefit of the doubt here, they need to earn it back.
Disappointed that all the photos look like African children, seems like a careless trope. The author even states it explicitly in the FAQ:

While giving NFTs themselves to children in Africa probably won't help them much, what we are trying to do is to raise awareness for effective altruism while poking a little fun at campaigns that usually end up keeping the majorty of their funds raised.

For me, an essential litmus test for whether a “conspiracy theory turned out to be true” is the timing between these three events:

1. Person claims something happened.

2. Government denies it.

3. Thing revealed to have actually happened.

The test is really whether #1 turned out to be valid reasoning, with the benefit of hindsight, i.e. were the claimants vindicated? And if the affair plays out over a matter of weeks, was there really a conspiracy movement?

The two examples you listed… I’m not expert in these, but they feel like controversies rather than conspiracies. Or was there an underground movement of suppressed believers telling us the truth and we just weren’t listening?

Might I suggest a tweak in your framework, to be:

the vast majority of people in the world do not need to get so emotionally invested in things happening in the world that /they can't affect/.

Nobody benefits from stressing about things beyond their control. Instead of doomscrolling ukraine updates, send in a donation if you can but otherwise move on. The only thing you're accomplishing by continuing to read the news on the situation, is upsetting yourself.

However, I don't think it's productive to ignore the problems in the world, even though the economy is ascendant, as Pinker is inclined to do. But we should generally try to focus on where we can make a difference.
If you can share would be curious to learn more. Any lessons that you can share to be aware about?
Yes, the transition wasn’t very smooth though. In cases with little foreign interference, it was more like:

Absolutist monarchy -> violent jacobin style revolution -> ??? (a lot of war and dead people)-> reactionaries come back to power -> a more moderate revolution/coup which brings a more balanced regime which establishes some kind of a rule of law based constitutional order.

Britain only had a single cycle of this, while France needed 2/3.

It not like the goal of Prussia was to establish a democratic regime in France, that was just side effect and arguably Napolean brought that war on himself (just like his uncle did with Russia)
No job will be perfect. There will be some of what you described in most jobs. It is important to figure out what matters to you the most and optimize for that while looking for job. For example - I am currently in the process of quitting my FAANG job for slightly less compensation mostly because I am tired of countless meetings, HR trainings and glacial pace at which software development works at large corporations because of the sheer number of approvals and dependencies required. I am going to smaller company to do interesting work with hopefully less red tape and less meetings where I can build stuff rather than sit in meetings all day and rubber stamp a bunch of stuff. You can do something similar. Be upfront with the interviewing company about what matters to you and interview with companies that offer you that. Also, try not to tie your self worth and happiness to your job. If you have a good and happy life outside of work, you will start to see your job as a means that makes that outside work life possible and it won't be as frustrating.

The problem is Wistia (and the likes) is crazy expensive if one of your videos goes viral, in addition to the streamer having to handle monetization, promotion, DMCA complaints, audience interaction. People became captive of Youtube because Youtube made complicated and expensive things easy and cheap. People became used to how practical it is, even if the price is putting their livelihood at the whims of Google.

The ideal world would be if video hosting was like websites, where you have multiple separate and competing companies for domain names, DNS, file hosting, database, load balancing, ads, CDNs, email marketing... And if you're not happy with one of them, you can easily switch to another, all while remaining in full control of your contents and where they are displayed.
In what sense do they not correspond? The gifted program was being shut down because schools like Stuyvesant admitted very few black students. See, for example, Forbes' take on the subject; https://www.forbes.com/sites/nataliewexler/2019/08/28/to-add...

Likewise, there is an ongoing court case about Yale (which is also spilling over into discussions about other schools) discriminating against students by race. See https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/13/yale-illegally-discriminates.... They have been trying to transition to more subjective methods of student filtering for a while now to hide this better. Rather than include an entire bibliography of the context behind the change, I just linked to that change being enacted, since that's what I considered the important thing being asked for (the proof of systems being made more unfair/objectively worse).

I can't give you bulletproof explanations of why these changes are being made - no one can. No one has come out to explicitly say, "We're changing the math curriculum because [group] is doing worse and we need to tilt the field in their favor." It's always couched in "better world" language - it's more just, more equitable, allows students to learn better, etc. But the claim was that social justice reforms are more focused on destroying something providing value to a privileged group than trying to come up with ways for everyone to achieve better outcomes together. That's what these changes, in general, show.

Instead of having the opportunity to go to a specialized gifted program, even if it's harder for people of some races to get in, no one gets one.

Instead of auditable, comparable, and clearly defined criteria for college acceptance, it's entirely subjective and based on the Admissions Office's biases.

Instead of a math class that teaches actual math, even if some students find that boring or difficult, we have whatever California is doing.
> Output should be free from headers or other decoration.

One way to solve this nicely, that seems to be getting more common, is to use `isatty()` to check if the output is a terminal and if so print with decorations, otherwise leave them away.

`ls` for example will output unprintable characters, even just space, in quoted form on a terminal:

$ touch 'foo bar'
$ ls
'foo bar'

But when redirected, it will output the raw value:

$ ls | cat -
foo bar
I have been using Linux, Windows, and MacOS for all that time, and more, and no Linux still hasn't got a better UX...

In any case, as I mentioned it does not really matter because Linux is irrelevant on the desktop.
I disagree. Debugging starts from a (usually testable) problem statement and then tries to narrow down to the root cause. Conspiracy theories start from a (usually untestable) assumption based on convencience and then try to expand the root cause until the whole world is against them.

The GNU Coding Standards recommends not doing that:

“Likewise, please don’t make the behavior of a command-line program depend on the type of output device it gets as standard output or standard input. Device independence is an important principle of the system’s design; do not compromise it merely to save someone from typing an option now and then. (Variation in error message syntax when using a terminal is ok, because that is a side issue that people do not depend on.)

If you think one behavior is most useful when the output is to a terminal, and another is most useful when the output is a file or a pipe, then it is usually best to make the default behavior the one that is useful with output to a terminal, and have an option for the other behavior. You can also build two different versions of the program with different names.

There is an exception for programs whose output in certain cases is binary data. Sending such output to a terminal is useless and can cause trouble. If such a program normally sends its output to stdout, it should detect, in these cases, when the output is a terminal and give an error message instead. The -f option should override this exception, thus permitting the output to go to the terminal.

Compatibility requires certain programs to depend on the type of output device. It would be disastrous if ls or sh did not do so in the way all users expect. In some of these cases, we supplement the program with a preferred alternate version that does not depend on the output device type. For example, we provide a dir program much like ls except that its default output format is always multi-column format.”
