">They don't need to satisfy everyone"

I'm not so sure about that. They faced backlash over their attempt to mostly stay out of the issue with Florida's HB 1557 bill. That initial reaction tells me they (leadership) probably didn't want any part of it. That had its own backlash & so they tried to appease their critics, but I still think their initial reaction was as "honest" a response as we would get from a massive global corporation.
Fun fact: the longest known distance between two points on Earth is the distance between Google product managers and ordinary people.

To be less flippant, boy could I not give a shit less about the problem this feature is trying to solve. As I look outside, I try to imagine the idea of any of these people in my neighborhood, playing with their dogs, mowing their lawns, driving garbage trucks, potentially losing sleep over someone using “policeman” as opposed to “police officer.” It’s absurd.

To be clear, I do feel genuine empathy for someone if they experience abject pain from minor transgressions. However, I am skeptical that almost anyone actually has that issue. And if they do, this is not how I believe you solve the problem. At all.

And if someone did use the term “police officer” instead of “policeman”, it would be no skin off my nose. That’s totally fine, both are natural and reasonable. Whatever. But I don’t need my fucking word processor telling me to self-police my language harder. That’s not a feature I want. In fact, I don’t even like the idea of this feature.

This all feels like cargo culting. If we pretend we’re in a society further removed from a racist, sexist past, does that make us further removed? I don’t think it does. Before the issues with blacklist/whitelist or slave/master were brought to the forefront, I really, really doubt almost anyone had racist or problematic visualizations in their mind. I think they had completely abstract concepts in their mind. Plenty of words probably have a deeply racist origin, but if that’s not what people actually think about when they hear the word, does that history even matter? Aren’t we just creating more problems?

Even if you disagree with all of my viewpoints, I hope you’ll agree that this is going to serve to make people much more radical over time as they perceive these features to either serve as an attack on themselves or their way of lives, or as evidence that people who don’t self-correct incessantly are secretly neo-nazis. To me, it just seems like a lose-lose, because it feels like no matter what I do, people are going to view my rejection of these ideals and pigeonhole me into either of these camps. Or is using the word “camp” also a bad idea due to World War II?

I’m sure some people will read this some day and think I’ve lost my mind. I don't care. For the love of fuck, Go Outside once in a while.
> Here in Switzerland, it's even worse, I get a mix of French and German stuff recommended.

Isn’t that right for Switzerland? What’s the issue?
Doesn't have to be the best, just has to be good enough.
Reminds me of a WD or Seagate research project. They took a 3U/16 disk chassis and instead of having a linux box inside with SAS to the 16 disks, they put in a ethernet switch and ran ethernet to each of the disks, actually two interfaces per disk via SAS connectors (but not protocol obviously).

They supported a few key/value stores and claims a big win on less complexity and cool things like migration/rebalancing that could be done disk to disk. I think there was a dev kit for developing for the inside the disk platform.

Seemed like a cool idea, not sure what happened to it, I think it was for sale for interested parties, at least for awhile.

I hacked up a quick script and converted https://s3.amazonaws.com/elevation-tiles-prod/terrarium/0/0/... to 16-bit (2 channel) PNG.

Any value below sea level I set to 0. Any value above sea level I converted using the following formula:

scaled = elevation * Math.floor[(256 * 256) / (8849 - 0)];

top_byte = scaled / 256;

bottom_byte = scaled % 256;

This provides accuracy to 1/7th of a meter compared to 1/10th of a meter with Mapbox but the tile size went from 104KB -> 25KB. For applications that can ignore elevations below sea level, this is a huge savings.

Edit: the top level tile has a lot of ocean so the size savings are better than average. On a tile with no water, the savings appear to be around 50%.
I pay for a handful of streaming services but that's only because they're decent for content discovery and ease of use. If there's ever anything on there that I genuinely like I just pirate it (Arcane most recently) because the UX of having files that just work everywhere is so much better than the alternative. I would happily pay for unencumbered .mkv downloads if my recent buying trends wrt bandcamp .flacs are any indication.

The only way to stop me from pirating the media I like is if you actually let me buy the superior experience I can have as a pirate.

P.S. copyright and IP law in general need severe reform if we want to serve creatives and not executives
I've realized I have a problem, and the solution might be me cutting off Netflix? The problem? I've slowly accumulated ten streaming subscriptions. Some might be included in cable, some are stand alone and some just house purchased Blu_ray. I would see a show I would like, I would subscribe, binge, then forget to unsubscribe or be lured by the promise of a show. I think many people are just looking at their overall spend, and cutting based on how much they watch. The explosion of streaming services had to have victims, and Netflix is just paying for being one of the pack, not something unique.

They are;
HBOMax, Discovery+, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Peacock, Vudu, Apple TV, Netflix, Disney+, Espn+
Higher contrast means a lower overall screen brightness is still comfortably readable. I think many people just don't think to turn down the display brightness and think that the content on the display is causing the issue.
Why should the country suffer the fanatic beliefs of people with bulldozers?

I think you proved his point.

As a non-white person, I get tired of hearing people blame white people for every other ill. Or if it’s not blame, it’s an attempt to shoehorn white supremacy as some prevailing ideology into every discussion.

Netflix does this constantly in their originals. They just can’t help themselves. And the usual suspects play coy about it when anyone complains. Go see a therapist, etc. for daring to notice the constant browbeating in Netflix programming and saying anything about it. If I watch tv, it’s to escape reality, including to not get proselytized to for thirty minutes of my life.

NO THEY DONT
It appears we would agree that technological innovations (problem solving) is the unique human activity on which our hope should be placed for thriving civilization and it should be enabled for individuals to pursue their goals. Im aware of most of the individual examples you presented, and the are to the point.

Nevertheless, I think I lead us away from the main point with my context setup. My reading of the problem of climate is at odds with the mechanical view of in-animate mater supposedly controlling the stability. I am closer to the ecologists (majority of) which point out that the biosphere stabilizes the climate, therefore CO2 by itself is not at all an issue (if there is biosphere healthy/functional enough to respond -- that is the core of the issue, and it is overlooked in the purely mechanical outlook). For if the biosphere is not properly functional in regulating the water cycle (upon which all the other cycles depend) no amount of technology (at the current and foreseeable future) can cope with.

If I was to react to the last point "logic of collective action", by taking a step away to get a larger view, cooperation is not possible (would not be self-organized from independent units/agent) without competition. Cooperation is only to get comparative advantage of a unit in an environment against other such units over physical resource (to be read as a biology statement not political, but it is clear). In a population of units (and groups) there will be variance (diversity is the modern word) - which is a double edged sword (as you point out). However, no biological system can be 100% correlated across its dimensions of operations, it would not survive, could not respond to changes, and dis-function of one units would imply the same for all the rest by definition. So while human mind may think it desirable, I do not think it is natures way (to get rid of trouble-makers, though Im against moralizing nature).
Worm starts as the story of a bullied girl in high school. Some people in the world of worm have the latent 'capability' to 'trigger' and get powers when placed in extremely stressful situations. The main character suffers a prolonged bullying campaign and is stuffed into a locker with used feminine hygiene products by her bullies.

She triggers, not with super-strength or flying or lasers, but with the ability to control all bugs in a large radius around herself.

The world is darker than in planetary in that society is trying to cope with supervillains (people who trigger are often in bad situations that don't lead them to becoming superheros) as well as the Endbringers, three seemingly unstoppable monsters who alternate attacking a city every ~3 months and thus society needs supervillains to help combat them.

It's a long read, and I haven't read it in recent years so I can't remember how good the writing was. I enjoyed it. Never read the sequel since its about a different character that I didn't really care about.

Planetary is not really in the same vein of story.
They want a "culture" while I'm worried about being able to put a roof over the head of myself and a family. That will surely build a great culture. Psychopaths.

The only thing they did to become millionaires was the completely non-productive act of borrowing money to buy property. Now the property values can't be allowed to depreciate so we must all commute into the office, the environment be damned. That's just inter-generational war.
> why would they not also use nukes against supplies staging points in NATO countries, or even against the nuclear forces of NATO countries?

Because the US/UK/France may react if Ukraine is nuked. If Poland (or Germany/France) is nuked, the response is both nuclear and automatic.

That is, nuking Poland is like nuking Washington DC. It's a great way to make sure Moscow exists only in history books. Nuking Ukraine is far more likely not to result in a serious response.
Has anyone tried using it with Apple Pencil yet? I'm curious to know how usable it is compared to the desktop/web version.
Oh, I've had a planet since 2016 or so I think, I boot it up once a year or so and check out the updates. I agree that the platform is big enough to be self-supporting in a technical sense. By "chicken and egg problem" I meant what is discussed here: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/05/24/strategy-letter-ii... I can use my planet to talk to the other weirdos who use urbit, but not a ton else yet - it won't really succeed as a platform until it has an ecosystem of developers making apps and users using them.

Is there some progress there btw? Last I checked there was no way to discover apps other than hard work, and sharing them (installing an app someone else had written) was pretty arduous.

edit: and I know HN isn't the whole world, but I suspect it is representative in this case. I just can't imagine any person learning anything about urbit from any source that doesn't get the 2-3 worst things Yarvin has ever written appended to it within the first hour. It's hard to imagine how it ever gets really popular under those circumstances.
they showed an example of identifying the target, and in this case the identification indicated they have the wrong target so the attack was aborted

that seems to be a presentation about language features. I'm mostly interested in the business reasons for using the language within what jane street does, and how the language offers a competitive advantage and why it is "good enough" for the highly competitive HFT landscape they work in.
Look, if you’re going to make pedantic comments, instead of engaging with the argument, you’re not acting in good faith, and there’s no reason why anyone should treat your comment like it is.
There are a lot of tech folks in western Mass and western Connecticut, both very rural. I've met a few. Grey beards working remotely for a decade or two. And I've even met a few young people with kids who work remotely for NYC companies out of rural NJ.

Lancaster PA has or had a few tech companies.

So I'd say probably yes. Pick a county of 500 thousand people or so and start looking through their Craigslist for job postings. You'll find them eventually.
Well it's simple.. The movie industry almost killed itself, and now it's getting greedy again. More and more people are simply downloading again. Not because they refuse to pay, but because they refuse to pay for 6 platforms, and get annoyed by not being able to find where they can watch things.

"I was a bit surprised to see how most people I interact with over the age of 40 or so (my parents incl.) are pretty stubborn about referring to people based on what they consider right"

Well, I'm 51. I don't think a man who takes hormones and gets operated on is actually a woman, and I'd rather not be forced to be complicit in a lie by referring to him as "she". By normalizing transgenderism society is encouraging a lot of young people to irreversibly damage themselves.
As a first comment here, I'd point out that defining women independently from solely their role as mothers is judging them on character rather than identity, so you should support such a thing if that's your rallying cry.

But also, on MLK and postmodernism: postmodernism dates back to the 1940s, To Kill a Mockingbird is postmodern. MLK's Letter From a Birmingham Jail is very clearly postmodern (e.g. when he says "But I am sorry that your statement did not express
a similar concern for the conditions that brought the demonstrations into being.", he's alluding to a failure to consider the viewpoint of the oppressed in the situation).

That letter is also very modern-leftist. Kimberle Crenshaw coined the term "intersectionality" in 1989 and elaborated on it in 1991, saying "When feminism does not explicitly oppose racism, and when anti-racism does not incorporate oppposition to patriarchy race and gender politics often end up being antagonistic to each other, and both interests lose". The letter from a Birmingham jail includes another famous line from MLK: " Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly". To me, those express similar sentiments: that oppression exists in many forms in many places, and it is unwise to pretend that oppression that fails to inconvenience me is therefore unworthy of my attention.

And of course he says later on "there is a type of constructive nonviolent tension that is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, we must see the need of having nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men to rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism
to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. " which to me describes the people often criticized as "modern far leftists", those people who create the tension and discomfort in society are, in MLK's view, doing us, collectively, a great service.

I'd recommend you read the whole letter[0]. If you're so willing to lionize MLK, but disagree with so much of what he preached, I implore you to consider why exactly that is.

This was sad to read for some of us old AppleShare IP era types. But yeah, the “Server” app has been flaky and seemed abandoned for ages now.

It was nice to see them give a list of alternatives, though.
When people say things like "10x engineers", they mean it as amount/quality of software delivered.

FTX valuation is from their market share, ability to navigate financial regulation, advertising, etc.. The software is not the primary factor there, it just has to not be a failure.

By your metric, all the engineers working in non-profits are "0X". And the accounts guy who negotiated discount with AWS is 10000X engineer.
> it looks petty and stupid.

It does, but I don't know how this can be even changed.

The Indian judicial system is broken and even the laws are very vague so law enforcement can always choose to act on them.

India has needed judicial reform from a long time but it hasn't been forthcoming.

Worse, every successive government makes laws more vague to suit themselves.
Prime is better than Netflix on desktop. They worked hard to get there, but they finally ruined the website enough that both my Android TVs Netflix app and prime are better. It took me a while to even figure out how to show some minimal information about a show that was more than name and thumb.

This feels like one of those potentially really obvious, really sensible things we could just do, but needs just a little bit of leverage to happen. Trying to use the media to drum up attention feels far short of a world where we can more directly enable important connections to be forged.
I vehemently hate crypto and still I don't get your point here.

But on USDC, it isn't regulated or properly audited by anyone reputable, the fact that sits on Ethereum/Polygon (which also isn't regulated and is riddled with high fees) doesn't give me confidence that anyone will use this token.

Most depressing thing since Alphacode.
Why would they push back? There is evidence doing so can get you publicly shamed and fired if other take sufficient offense.
I love good satire, over the last decade I’ve moved from the Onion to Clickhole and have landed on Babylon Bee for now. They have a stuff aside from their partisan pieces that matches the quality of The Onion and Clickhole when they were in their prime.

https://babylonbee.com/news/study-finds-no-one-ever-actually...

https://www.theonion.com/half-lobster-scientist-just-going-t...

Both of these articles are recent, in my opinion the jokes and the production quality are just better on The Bee. There’s a lot of political stuff from both too but that’s not what I’m interested in.
I've only seen a couple of MCU movies and a few (mainly Batman) DC ones, never much cared for the comic book medium but for a few exceptions; however, I don't really see what you're describing as a problem among my friends who do really get into that stuff. You can find obsessive fans for anything, I don't think most people who get into the MCU are particularly obsessive though.

Also, while the franchises have moved away from being for young kids anymore I can tell you that my friends who have kids in the teenage bracket certainly bond with them over their shared interest in such movies.

Disclaimer, I don't really sort humor into high brow and low brow per se, and probably listen to a whole lot more than 20 bawdy or indecent jokes in a single day. There are plenty of comedians who are too mean-spirited for my taste though.

Soul of a New Machine is absolutely classic. You'll learn just how much, and how little, computers and programming have changed since the 70s. And some interesting takes on microcoding, if you're already dealing with APIs on APIs, you'll get a better understanding.

The problem with pay per item is that they try to stretch and tretch the amount of items/movies/episodes you watch.

Netflix overdid it with making everything a serie. It's super annoying, and I simply don' have the energie to start another serie simply because Netflix's analytics say that it's better for engagement that you have use the serie format instead of a simple movie. It has very little to do with the actual story telling.
Can you apply it to itself?
If that were the case, they surely would have cited the studies.

"...any animals, ..."
Yes, to a degree. But there are quite a few male-dominated fields with similar career prospects - semi-skilled building trades, road construction, sanitation work, truck driver, etc., etc. And there are often male niches within the female-dominated jobs - for adult patients who may be infirm, any decent-sized health facility will need some larger & more muscular workers (very likely male) on every nursing shift.
