It makes a lot more sense if you include the previous tweet as well.

> There is this old culture of the internet, roughly Web 1.0 (late 90s) and early Web 2.0, pre-Facebook (pre-2005), that had a very strong free speech culture.

This person isn't specifically talking about the general American right to free speech, I don't think, rather the libertarian / "Californian ideology" bent of the 90s web and those who were at its forefront.
The implied point of the above comment was that, while specific linear relationships can be hypothesized, and shown in certain limited controlled experiments, the nonlinear interactions with every single other factor makes such an assertion not only meaningless but also misleading.

"Well-studied", no, I would not claim that. I follow the zeitgeist of urban planners as they discuss topics like this on the fora in which they congregate. I read some of the studies they post and discuss, and I have picked up on some of the memes present in that community. Something that comes up again and again and again and again (and which is immediately apparent upon reading the research) is the primacy of roundabouts for intersections, because they are the safest of the popular options and less prone to congestion than stop signs, stop lights, etc. Even when they do get congested, the outcomes are better for everyone on average, since everyone waits a similar amount of time compared to the asymmetry of e.g. intersections with stoplights. One common pitfall in thinking about these things is only thinking about individual wait times in a subjective sense, and not aggregate wait times in a systemic sense. The latter perspective provides much clarity.

Here, I did your Googling for you. Where do I send the invoice?

So basic idea, that old corporations where ultra-concentrated, ultra-centralized, and to save costs, they created very big datacenters and demand very high density of computing power, even considering high cost, because cost of rent in big city usually astronomic, very high cost of wires to connect separate buildings, and cost of maintenance also extremely high.

Now appear new wave organizations, which are decentralized, and they also need lot of computing power at remote locations, and in many cases impossible to just feed data to central dc via wire or wireless connection.
And at the moment this new market is not mature, and have not created standards yet, but some ideas already appear.
Cool project, and a good middle ground. Keep in mind it's goals are different compared to Windows Ameliorated, and I highly doubt it truly gets rid of all the spyware.
I'm not contesting that plant based diets are very healthy, it's what I mostly eat now. This is something I'm discussing with a doctor because we are out of other options, think an extreme elimination diet. I am mostly interested in how I can offset the climate impact with less unethical meat sources, carbon capture, other lifestyle changes etc.

FWIW most people don't agree with you on the ethics of killing animals for food. I prefer to minimize suffering where necessary but do not see a problem if that is what a sentient being needs to live. As I said in my post though I hope lab grown meat soon makes killing any animals for food unnecessary.
Just a meta-joke attempt regarding Dunning Kruger.
Honestly - not great.

We've never been super close. We are pretty vastly different w.r.t. politics but I've been the type of person to let it slide. With COVID and our newborn, the anti-vax approach they've had pushed us even further away. I haven't seen them in years because they won't vaccinate and I won't (knowingly) let un-vaccinated, high-exposure (as in, going out to eat all the time, taking no precautions) people interact with my daughter until she can get vaccinated.

We just don't see eye-to-eye on almost all things and I don't have the patience to deal with it.

I agree, but this would be an all-meat diet to test effects on my autoimmune issues. If it doesn't work I would be back to mostly plant-based but my doctor and I agree we are out of other ideas.
This is typical for staffing firms. File a bunch of applications, find work for whoever gets through the lottery and file an amended petition with the actual end client.

Didn't know that was actually illegal. It's good they're cracking down on this. These firms crowd out legitimate companies trying to hire someone.
> I'm not sure I know arg parsing libraries in every language though.

In my opinion, you should be free to look that up: that's what you'd do on the job as well. I also google it every time I need to use arg parsing in literally any language because I need it fairly infrequently, and frankly that's how this code came to be: too lazy to look it up again, too easy to write myself, and enjoying the writing of code. Any other solution would also be fine, this test would be about seeing if you can read and write code rather than if you come up with the (what the interviewers think) is the perfect solution.

People being less hateful in general would be preferable, but immutable characteristics seem to be an obvious brightline.

But you're right that stuff like r/fatpeoplehate shouldn't really be on the site either, the hate is absolutely noxious and it's all the worse because it's "acceptable" and "not an immutable characteristic". And the "quarantine zone" strategy absolutely does not work, it just festers and metastasizes to the rest of the site.

Nothing is stopping you from making your own social-media site where you're allowed to say the N-word all you want, it's happened numerous times over Reddit's history when they crack down on one of the various hate forums that sprung up over the years.

Nothing is stopping you from getting real mad about brands of cars, or computer parts, either. I don't know why some people are so willing to die on this hill, like, is it really such a sacrifice for you to not debate the existence and rights of minorities (sexual or otherwise)? Again, that may feel like oppression after coming from a position of supremacy, but it's not.

Sexual minorities are only the latest in a long line of targets. In the 80s and 90s it was satanic panic, then drugs and black people, immigrant "caravans" and other ways to weaponize bigotry and otherism. It's a consistent theme, and it's powerful.

It doesn't matter if it's sexual minorities, or race, or anything else. There is no class of people whose existence and rights you should be debating, period, and the framing that it's acceptable to debate sexual minorities because at least it isn't racial minorities isn't valid, full stop. That's an antisocial mindset and you're gonna get shunned (or isolated to clusters of like-minded individuals) until you stop.

Maybe that's a tough perspective for the engineer mindset but it's how the world works... people don't like their existence being a topic of debate, and people don't want it on their platforms or in their social circle.

It all goes back to what the twitter guy said - stop being a fucking dramabomb constantly and you won't be "censored". Being an asshole is a great reason to be shunned, or canceled, or whatever the shun-ee's are calling it now.
The usecase could have included all manner of useful pro-privacy and security usage-- but intel was extremely restrictive with access to the ability to use it in part because they expected to monetize the DRM usage.
There's a configuration for bike safety that's basically a mini roundabout superimposed on a normal intersection. It doesn't significantly increase the size of the intersection, but the geometry works out in a way where bikes can go at near full speed, but it's impossible for a right turning car and straight going bike to get into a collision without seeing each other first (assuming both are looking forward while driving).

> Please, show me how an appropriately set income tax disincentivizes work. I'm guessing they can't and are equally uneducated on that subject. Income tax would only provide a disincentive to work if the alternative (assistance programs) is more attractive. Which doesn't seem to be the case.

It's almost tautological that taxing income disincentivizes work. Of course, it does not mean that a 30% income tax will disincentivizes work so much as to completely stop it (the "optimal" point in the Laffer curve is around the 30% point), but it is obvious that on the margin people will start dedicating less to work if their returns are lowered due to taxes.
I don't want you to have to leave your land or be forced to sell it. But you should be paying taxes based on the actual value of it. Not on what it was 30 years ago when someone built it. California's proposition 13 is hiding actual values of many wealthy people's homes from the tax man; being able to transfer them without triggering new valuations used in taxes is a key problem.
That's odd because even Google shows the homepage for YouTube-DL.

Keep in mind that a typical course is 3 hours (in class) per week, where a bootcamp is typically 30-40 hours in class. Perhaps the expectation is that the hours difference is offloaded into "home work" but you often need to do additional work in a bootcamp as well. That assumed, given a typical course load, a "semester" of bootcamp is roughly equivalent to 2-3 semesters of college work.

I've studied a lot of failed and successful currencies over the years and came to one unshakable conclusion:

The sole criterion for the viability of a currency is acceptance. The backing of a nation doesn't decide it. The silliness of it doesn't matter. Not being granular enough won't stop it. Being illegal doesn't matter. Physical existence doesn't matter in the slightest. All that matters is, "Can you buy stuff with it?"

Tax on land goes against the right to property. If all you have is illiquid land, how are you supposed to pay? You would be forced to sell which ends up being an indirect expropriation.
Except that Covid is not another common cold virus. Even with vaccination, its effects can be at least as severe as the flu - however it is as contagious as the common cold. We are yet to see what repeated infection brings - but given it is inherently a systemic disease, affecting not just the respiratory system but also the vascular system, and the high prevalence of long Covid, it would not be unreasonable to be concerned about serious damage.

One thing the pandemic has shown, is that in fact the world carried on mostly fine even when people couldn't travel down the road - let alone to another country.

We are changing our ways all the time with each evolution in our society and the environment in which it is situated - something that will become ever more evident as climate change picks up pace.

As tough as it is sometimes to waste time in church living a lie about things that no one un-indoctrinated could believe in, actually coming out with my true beliefs and leading to your situation is probably a worse move.
Unnecessary red turn arrows are my biggest complaint about driving in the bay area. This, coupled with multi minute light cycles greatly reduces intersection utilization, and doubles or triples all the commutes I've had. (East Bay, San Francisco, and South Silicon Valley don't have this issue.)

Index funds do, that's pretty much the definition of an index fund.

ETFs are a different concept, but a good index fund will be structured as an ETF, and it looks like this thread is using "ETF" to mean "index fund"? If so, then the answer to your question is an unambiguous yes.
Property taxes already exist in many states, so this isn't fundamentally different.
I've been accused several times recently of believing "Russian propaganda" about the war in Ukraine which of course I find very offensive. I'm an intelligent person, I've analyzed the situation, listened to different sources, and come to the conclusion that the western powers, the US in particular, and to some degree Ukraine, are not as much in the right as they pretend to be. From my perspective, the western political establishment is, through the corporate media, daily pushing propaganda to support their narrative.

When it comes to individuals, it would be nice if we could all respect each other's right to our own opinions without attacking other people's intelligence, attacking their character, or accusing them of bad faith.
You seem to be implying that it's irrational to be upset about having to repeat yourself if you haven't yet repeated yourself at least six times?

If you need to repeat yourself half a dozen times to get any reaction beyond dismissal, it's reasonable to conclude that the other person is indeed not listening.

In fact, it's reasonable to conclude that they just don't care, and that it's time to move on.

Fairly sure there was a story recently where Facebook accidentally turned off "the algorithm" for some people for months and it made them miserable and angrier. I can't find it because Google thinks any related search is actually trying to look for "how to get unbanned from Facebook" though.

One reason for this is algorithmic sorting is what gets rid of spam and hides annoying acquaintances you had to friend who never shut up. If you want engagement you don't actually want to show everyone endless political arguments; sex and animal pictures are what's really engaging.

It's a solution that looks clever at first sight but the devil is in the details.

Sometimes it's difficult to determine what data is subject to erasure in the first place, for example if there are multiple parties involved or the obligation to erase conflicts with other obligations that might require retention of some of the personal data.

If you're going with the encryption and key management strategy, your design must accommodate all possible scenarios both now and in the future including those where the rules change between now and then. For anything but the simplest cases that seems unlikely.

That’s really interesting.

I’m reminded of something the PhD Pharmacologist Psychiatrist told us during med school - effect size of new depression meds decreases over time (probably because you have an early positive result and then it’s pushed in and then later better quality studies show smaller difference) so the joke is ‘every time a new depression medication comes out there’s a race to use it before it stops working!’

COVID was the biggest one for me.

How many people were banned or blocked by Twitter for COVID misinformation, when it turned out that those spreading “misinformation” were actually the CDC, WHO, and government institutions, and when said institutions blatantly lied to the public about masking, vaccines, lab leak theory, and lockdowns, Twitter did absolutely nothing, except punish the people who criticized said institutions.

As is detailed by many smart people below, fiduciary duty lawsuits are difficult to win. They'd pretty much have to have board members emailing each other saying "This would be in the best interest of shareholders, but let's screw them over instead"

This was an epic debacle. Musk invested 4 BILLION dollars in an asset of questionable value, because "free speech". If he times it right he could come out ahead financially. But in general this was a pointless distraction and public fiasco that served no one.

I have no idea what he was doing or what his goals were. It looks like he was upset that people he liked were getting banned by twitter and was afraid that he'd run afoul of their rules himself, so he tried to buy the company. And despite being one of the richest humans to ever live, he failed at that.

This is just a head scratcher and a massive L. I don't see another way to view it.

Seems like just a poke in the eye to SpaceX.

France owns Ariane which is one of the only other commercial space launch platforms.

They can't really poke SpaceX directly since I don't imagine they have any substantial operations in France.

If anything, seems like France has a massive conflict of interest here to judge this.

If he honestly wants to buy it which given the hoops he's jumping through seems to be the case then it's not 'manipulation' at all. Every move Elon makes is going to change the price. I think we all know he's not 'in it for the money' so it'd be pretty hard to make the case for manipulation. He really wants it. And if everyone else thinks Twitter would be better off with Elon as owner the stock goes up. And if he gives up trying, the stock goes down. That's not manipulation, that's sentiment.
