He isn't making any point. The only thing to understand is that Musk is merely continuing his track record of lying about where Tesla is at with its supposed "full self-driving".

He's been lying about it for nine years: https://jalopnik.com/elon-musk-promises-full-self-driving-ne...

Five years ago Tesla claimed all its cars "have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver". That was a lie too: https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now...

Having recently had to take over a GraphQL + Relay project in the last ~6 months, I agree with this. When things work (e.g., the frontend/backend magically staying in sync) it feels really great. But with the amount of tech you're throwing at the problem I found it difficult to learn (the ecosystem is immature, the documentation often sucks, your problem space grows with GraphQL + GraphQL client of choice + web framework of choice). I found the bugs and opaque performance issues to be harder to track down. I'm sure that with time and mastery these problems will resolve themselves, but I'd much rather spend my "cool stuff budget" on tech that (IMO) provides a significantly greater benefit for the inconveniences caused.

Why would that be an overreach? If they were known gang members, banning them from wearing certain colors during their parole seems prudent as well. As far as I’m concerned, any variable that could increase their chance of being involved in criminal activity while out on parole, should be restricted by terms of their parole - or don’t let them out on parole.
Never worked with GraphQL only gRPC which in my setup at least has an extremely tight feedback look in that code gen is almost instant and triggered on a file save of a proto file (which is where you define your interfaces in that particular ecosystem) which again sounds like maybe where my confusion is coming from, none of the pain points you mentioned have ever been a problem for me but if it works for you then more power to you, not here to say you’re wrong :)

> On some level this is obviously true. The important question is on what level?

I don't disagree. In my post I was primarily thinking about the author's assertion that these instinctual reactions are not verifiable, which I disagree with. We probably have more in common here than you realize.

One thing it sounds like Callard didn't cover in her podcast was the movement toward instinctual and social reactions. It may be possible that pink has some intrinsic beauty, but how many of the subjects only thought to provide that opinion after being influenced in some almost imperceptible way by their peers?

One thing the pandemic showed us is that people can relatively easily be made to believe something without sufficient evidence if that belief gives some benefit for them personally (i.e. anti-vaxxers). Given that most news today is consumed only through the headlines of news articles, its stands to reason that even briefer pieces of information could have just as large an influence. This is mostly why I take issue with what seems to be the overall goal of the article.

> Obviously you can self-modify to like things, like architects self-modify to find Brutalism and other crimes a against beauty good, or how people grow to like coffee.

This seems a little biased, particularly with beauty and flavor being given as objective properties. Are you sure something subtle on your screen didn't elicit an emotional response before you posted this?

He represents such an extreme case, it is hard for me to draw any broad conclusions from his life. The man never had a healthy relationship with food.
Some years ago, I read an article claiming the opposite. I could not find it again, but the main arguments, as I remember them where, that a) if self-driving cars drive according to the law, they drive slower and with greater distance from the car in front than human drivers, and b) for people to feel comfortable inside a self-driving car, the car must accelarate and break more smoothly than a human driver does, who actively participats in what is going on around him or her. The maximum throughput of a road would therefore become smaller and thus, ceteris paribus, traffic jams become more frequent.
You have to make sure the attackers aren’t still in your network, you have to get them out if they are, you have to fully scope out what they messed with, and restore anything that’s plausibly connected. Even in the best case with all the right monitoring systems in place there is a lot of manual work involved from owners of the various different effected services and just managing the overall response adequately. I would say the amount of effort involved is comparable to managing a novel, ongoing SEV1.

>Why should people get to endanger others?

This is a dangerous frame for this argument. "Get to" implies a "right," or that the action is condoned somehow. It's not. Not everything bad in the world needs to be prevented by government action. We could stop all traffic deaths today by banning cars. We could stop all forms of obesity by making everyone drink Soylent. Personal liberty prevails because, in the end, the knock-on effects of removing liberty are a case of the cure being worse than the disease, in most cases.

Automatic enforcement.... That sounds like letting the algorithms put people in jail.

> I'm also of the much more radical opinion that we should protect tenants over landlords in nearly every case,

At least you understand this is radical. Developers/landlords are the ones providing and maintaining housing, not tenants. The government is incapable of doing this themselves which is why it’s left to the free markets.

The only real issue is that the ‘free markets’ are anything but. Governments overly try to dictate policy which continues to hurt us (a well known feature is state run economies)

Examples of this are zoning restrictions (NIMBY) and rent control.

Broad, idealistic government policies are a disease; they will never be as efficient as entrepreneurs.

Similarly, how does this interact with California's net-neutrality? This is a civil suit, so traffic to and from the plaintiffs may still be "lawful".

811 points 428 comments so far and staying at the top at HN for a full day, that alone explains "why do you waste so much time on the internet?" :)

I spent about two hours online daily for job-unrelated stuff, on average: 30 minutes youtube, 30 minutes twitter, 30 minutes HN, and 30 minutes email/general news etc. Half of the time is wasted.

As software developer we're trying to optimize our code for the CPU all the time, but we're wasting our own CPU, the brain, which is ironic.

In principle I think it’s good practice, but in practice I think it’s risky. It very much depends on your relationship with your customers.

It can go wrong in a few ways.

Probably the worst way is where the customer takes a half baked demo or idea as a preview and a commitment, and then demands that you deliver it, or complains when you don’t; not all half baked ideas can be turned into a product.

Another potential pitfall is that the idea may be seen to represent a change to something important to them, and they get scared. Inducing needless fear is best avoided!

They might just tell you that it’s a stupid idea. Which at best is just embarrassing.

There are probably many other negative scenarios, but those come to mind from experience.

So while on the whole I think you really, really should let customers be part of the ideation process - they are the users and beneficiaries of the work, after all - you have to chose who you include carefully, because the relationship with your customers is fundamentally different to the one you have with your coworkers, and it can go south in really unexpected ways.
I mean, your gut will get seeded even if you’re a c-section baby.

There is a reason why households have similar microbiome a over time - despite good hygiene practices bacteria (even fecal bacteria) will be passed from person to person.

There is zero need to do a fecal transplant on a baby that is delivered via c-section, except in some rare case where they get a C. difficile infection or something.
The once-booming tech industry is starting to cut jobs and costs
Nah, I can come up with countless examples of companies making decisions to maximize their market cap over the next 0-2 years, that are obviously going to have a huge negative impact over the next 5-10 years (a much greater negative impact than was gained in the short term).

Serious long term thinking by those running companies (on the time-scale of 7-10+ years) is extraordinarily rare and represents a massive competitive advantage for those who actually do it (almost no one).

Companies do not adequately select for or reward long term thinking behavior by CEOs and upper management. Mostly you only see this coming from company founders who actually have enough of a stake and political capital to make doing so viable.
And yet, there is no evidence at all that people who take more antibiotics live shorter or worse quality lives...so does any of this really matter at all?
I'm really not convinced. I looked, and examples of my reporting chain at various points in my career:

Company A: Lead (yes, but undergrad in EE), Manager (no), GM (no), VP (?), SVP (no), President (yes), CEO (dropped out of MBA)

Company B: Lead (no), Manager (yes), Director (?), Senior Director (no), Senior Director (yes), VP (no), SVP (MBA), CEO (yes)

The plural of anecdote is not data, and I'm not a director, but a cursory comparison of senior leadership and LinkedIn doesn't leave me convinced that a graduate degree matters. Most of the folks who have one got one back in the 90s where things were very different.

Are you in the US? If so then out of curiosity, considering we have published research demonstrating that the average American has effectively zero influence on policy and the only groups with representation are extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, and we've already seen the US government engaging in the warrantless surveillance of every last American, the continued push for more extreme uses of gerrymandering and other forms of voter suppression, police executing citizens in the streets for minor infractions, the promotion of lies and misinformation encouraging citizens to get sick or seek ineffective treatments during a global pandemic, the mass incarceration of Americans at a rate far beyond any other nation on the planet, along with continuous efforts to weaken and ignore our constitutional rights, just how much longer do you think it'll be before the notice that they've turned against you arrives?

> We’ve heard your feedback on our communications during this incident. You want more transparency, more in-depth information, and fewer “we are working on it” posts.

Well, those, and:

1. Speed. It took days for heroku customers to be told about this.

2. Customers sign up at "heroku.com", the platform is called "Heroku", the CLI is "heroku", everything's heroku, so don't send emails from a parent company (Salesforce), send them from "Heroku".

3. Unambiguous info on what customers need to do. I had to guess based on HN comments whether config vars were accessed. Config vars are 100x more sensitive than code. Comms should be unambiguous and complete, and if incomplete for any reason, explain that (e.g. we don't know yet).

4. I still don't know whether having 1 Github Deploy on my Heroku account allowed unauthorized access to all heroku applications on my heroku account (i.e. those using other deploy methods, like `git push heroku main`). Were all my apps' repositories able to be accessed, or just the one(s) deployed via Github Deploys?

5. I still don't know whether unauthorized access was gained to all other GitHub respositories on my GitHub account, i.e. the repos that aren't heroku apps.

These said, I still really appreciate that security incidents happen and aren't easy to deal with, and there's no obligation for anyone at a profitable company to actually care about semi-captive customers, so thanks to Heroku for the efforts; it's genuinely appreciated.
But the whole idea of a "free market" is that demand should cause new firms to be created and existing firms expanded to serve that demand. We've suffered from an excess of capital desperately seeking profitable investments the past few years. Shouldn't this be an opportunity? To say otherwise is to say the free market doesn't work.

Most of inflation right now is being driven by shortages, firm profit taking, and wage increases.

The first two can be solved and should be solved by increasing supply and competition.

The third is not a problem at all. The capital side has taken the lion's share of productivity increases over the past 30 years and that has certainly impacted consumer's ability to spend. Wage increases are a good thing in this case and will drive further improvements in productivity and automation.
You keep talking about El Salvador but I am talking about the general problem with using deflationary currencies, especially when you cannot buy enough of the currency as a nation to compete with the rest of the world. Besides printing currency, nations can raise BTC by many other finite means.

I'm not sure it's fair to characterize Socrates' position as "he didn't believe in documenting anything" when in truth he argues for dialogue as the best means of learning. Neither the written word nor the spoken word are of much value when the communication is one-way only.

It seems to me he is arguing more for internalization and against rote memorization than specifically against writing.

“I have a lifelong enthusiasm for developers and the experience they have building software together”

And then drops a link to contact them, via LinkedIn…

LinkedIn is the polar opposite of GitHub. It’s the worst example of social media, from its news feed, to spam invites. And it’s broken every rule in the “be a good netizen” play book, from constant spam, to slurping your email contacts and surveillance to the extreme.

I struggle to imagine a developer saying “I’d like to contact xxx, and I’d love to do it via LinkedIn”

Why not drop your email? Or a GitHub profile with a public email, and readme containing other contact methods, would have been more dev centric.

I’m going out salamander hunting tonight. The target is the Pacific Giant Salamander. I’ve been a pro photographer and producer for nearly 30 years. If I’m successful, if I get interesting footage- you folks might see it. My Tik Toc record is 60 million. FB is 120 million. Instagram is 11 milllion. I have no idea if these stats are correct (I have trust issues with these services). Yet I don’t engage with SM personally but make decent $$ from it. It all seems so shallow and fake. Yet here I am being paid for content.

I’m looking forward to the adventure. Meeting people in person. Driving for hours, crawling around remote streams till 2AM. Getting wet in the rain. Feeling uncomfortable- either too warm, too cold, or too wet. Sleeping the sleep of the exhausted whenever I get to my bed.

I’ve withdrawn from the internet more and more. I’m not clean. I’m not a purest. The internet is an incredible window to the world. I use it frequently. But it is more polluted by blatant $$ and manipulation (which I profit from).

But my 24 year old daughter is consumed by the online world. So many sedentary hours scrolling. Fearful of genuine human interaction. Fearful of the discomforts of the real world. I’m paying more and more for mental health care for her. I invite her to these adventures. She just went to Mexico with me. She had panic attacks followed by profound depression. It breaks my heart. She barely left the Airbnb.

What are we doing? What am I doing? I used to think I was contributing to a better world.
