But the acceleration that you are concerned about here is the acceleration (or deceleration) of a car from it's current speed to the speed after the crash. That's the acceleration that has an impact on humans.

A more accurate equation to look at would be kinetic energy = 1/2mv^2. More energy a car has in hitting something the worse the outcome will be.

Now you can say that cars with greater acceleration may be more likely to be driving faster, but it's not a direct correlation of acceleration of a car to the force of impact of the car.
You can have first world features while still skirting the line of what it means to be a first world country. Honestly the healthcare system alone is plenty to bring into doubt whether the USA can really be compared to most of western europe.
When will the source repository going to be made public and what license do you plan to use? For the editor and the UI kit. Looking forward to seeing how that all works.
I think it’s pointing out how absurd the system is for the people actually in it. If you dig deeper though, it’s just another way of trying to define blocs of power (or no power), and draw arbitrary lines to get benefits or avoid being singled out.

There is no objective definition for race or ethnicity I’ve ever found for instance, but to quote a controversial Supreme Court justice, everyone goes ‘I know it when I see it’.
Yes, that is the main part of it.

Being a CTO might make sense for you. I'd still ask why you want to do it, just like I'd ask why you want to be a product leader, developer, developer advocate, or whatever.

The core motivation of switching to being a developer seems to be coding more. The others are building a product and being a CTO.

You can find lots of developer's experiences on HN or elsewhere saying that when you start doing other related roles, such as engineering management or engineering executive work, you might spend 0 time coding. Yes, some CTOs code often. I have even heard of a founder and non-CTO of a reasonably large company in the UK that still contributes some code to the codebase, which is admirable and probably overall a good thing though I don't know too many details and could have problems but could be great for everyone.

For some people, no longer coding much or at all is great. They're not interested in coding anymore (or they never were), they want a new challenge (for example, people management), more pay or prestige which often go along with people management or executive work, more influence. For others, not coding much or at all is a terrible fit. For you right now, being a CTO at anything but a small company where you would code a lot doesn't sound like it would accomplish your goal of coding more or the associated joy.

You might get enough coding joy by coding outside of work. It's worth considering. It's great to code full time if that's good for you. It's great to code outside of your primary work if that's good for you. Whatever works for you short term and long term, day to day and big picture.

About building a product - you can build many products right now with your current skills. You don't need to get a different primary job, or 2 different ones (developer advocate and then software engineer) to do it. You have some stability and mastery of crucial skills, and hopefully some disposable income though in many cases not much is necessary especially at first.

If building a product is one of your main goals, what can you do to take a step in that direction today?

If I were you I'd start with the meaty product work rather than developing anything, even a website.

I'm not, but I've spent a lot of time over many years cultivating an understanding of epidemiology and med statistics, especially as they relate to study/trial design. The article linked above points out many of the problems with the parent's study. Medical errors are a problem, but we don't know much about it because of these problems, so I worry, as always, that people will take the wrong message away from headlines like this.

> Then someone else submitted it again, this time it was front page for several hours, got 60-70k visitors in a day. also blew up on Reddit/Linkedin, had random poeple trying to friend me.

This is often the case. The list of new posts on any given site will be full of junk, so it is down to luck that your content that is worth bothering with gets noticed by people who it is relevant to. As well as voting it up, some of them are likely to post about it elsewhere, or maybe forward the link more privately, and (again with a large luck factor) you might get a chain reaction of interest or it might just fizzle out.

The real luck of the draw comes when someone with a significantly sizes circle of followers forwards or otherwise mentions what you have posted, or⁰ just comments on it, as this increases the change of that chain reaction of interest happening.

The key¹ is to not care for wide dissemination as a goal, just consider it a happy accident if it happens, and instead write what is useful to you and/or your close circles (personal or professional, depending on the nature of the content).

As a Miata owner/enthusiast (first-generation), I'm worried about electrification. I just can't see how they can pull it off without adding 500+ lbs to the curb weight, at which point it's no longer a Miata but a GR86 without a roof. The current generation is remarkably close to my car's weight (2300 vs 2100 lbs), which is quite an achievement given modern safety requirements.
> For any anomaly in a stateful service, it is an anomaly only if clients can observe it one way or the other. Otherwise, we argue that it doesn’t matter at all.

Thanks for the comment! I stand by this claim; I would love to hear more about why an anomaly (any anomaly) matters if it can't possibly be observed by any client for stateful service.
>No, it doesn’t happen often enough to undermine the integrity of elections in the aggregate.

Are you sure about that? After watching 2000 Mules, even with some skepticism about the evidence presented it certainly appears there is an effort to undermine elections in very specific places that were key to the 2020 election. Video evidence is hard to argue with. Can't say if it actually affected the outcome because I don't have all of the evidence to review it, but what was shown should be enough to get people up in arms about election fraud and finding ways to stop it.
I'm not sure where the difference comes from, but it's there.

When I visit some public high schools in suburban CT, they look nicer than my college campus.

When I visit public schools in rural VA, they're a cluster of trailers and dilapidated structures that don't even have air conditioning, let less modern amenities.

So, maybe it's the taxes, or the highly active parents, or donations, but there's a visible difference, more than "$200" per student. Of course, how far and effective each dollar is WRT to outcomes is a different matter.
I'm pretty nearly convinced that the primary signals derived from many private school interviews are "parents will pay the tuition" and "kid will not be a behavioral problem".

Can you elaborate?

Study, do your homework, behave? What "strong cultural aspect" do you see?
My issue with gifted programs, and this is the reality in many cities: wealthy kids with tutors and intelligent parents are the ones benefiting.

This essentially creates a two-tiered schooling system, and since it's very tightly tied to income, this further exaggerates economic disparity, which is closely tied to race.

My city's school system is comprised mostly of minorities (~80% black, hispanic, and asian) and the gifted programs are predominantly serving wealthy white kids (~50%).

We also have exam schools. The most popular exam school in my area receives tens of millions of dollars in private donations. If you combined the private fundraising of the bottom 90% of schools in the district, it's still less than this one school. This school is also 50% white in a school system where only 15% of the kids are white. So we've essentially created a private school in a public system.

I understand why people don't want to eliminate gifted programs, but they are further exaggerating economic (and racial) disparities. I have not seen any good solutions for this, but it does feel incredibly unfair.

Having been someone who was poor and happened to be in a gifted program, I personally don't think the benefit is worth the divide.
I love this essay and I've shared it with many anarchists (or "anarchists") who have dismissed it entirely without engaging in the ideas at all.

I'm fairly anarchist-leaning, but I definitely see the applications for authority and hierarchy, specifically in the contexts of justice and finite resource distribution.

Well the fraud vector isn't obvious. Voter IDs wouldn't solve any of the fraud that has been uncovered as far as I can tell. So it seems to be a solution in search of a problem.

Now if you want to talk about National IDs that's a whole other can of worms.
We clearly have different interpretations of that metaphor.

The point is to demonstrate agency over the systems we create. What’s the flip side of that scenario? People aren’t given stools to stand on and tall people get to watch while short people don’t? Who built the fence? Why is it that height? Why aren’t there bleachers?

Is just sitting there doing nothing equality of opportunity somehow?

Lots of advice of "just grin and bear it", and "get along"... etc.

IMO, it depends on the friction. If this is just your own expectations not being met... you can adjust those.

If, however, you have other people on your team or people you answer to expecting things to be faster, but other parts of the system are working against you... that seems to be a recipe for constant pain/friction, unless/until others leave/change (which you generally have no control over).

Things that should take 2 hrs taking 2 weeks are annoying/frustrating on their own. If you have other people setting deadlines for you which don't align with the processes you're tied to - that's a whole other level of pain, and it might be worth trying to find someplace a bit less internally conflicted.
Copper makes seed pods explode
Look at how small the donations to politicians are. I used to wonder why the big companies weren’t “flooding the zone” and then realised the official numbers surely don’t catch much — there must be all sorts of “off books” assistance.
I think the key here is to make sure you minimize these costs. For example, if you decide to make a microservice every time you want some independently-useful feature, you'll have to set up CI, get a domain name, get an internal cert, get permission to route packets at production priority, have a privacy review, get a launch review, etc. If that's the org, then you never want to be making a microservice. Shove everything into your monolith (and hey, maybe let other teams do that too and share some of the operational burden). Be adaptable; find the processes that are time consuming and make sure that you only go through them once. Make sure that if you impose process, it has value.

The other side of the coin is that all these processes exist for a reason. If an outage costs you a billion dollars, it's financially great if you're filling out paperwork and having meetings instead of checking in features that break production.

The key is to be adaptable. Observe what is a necessary waste of time, and get it done and out of the way. Observe what is an unnecessary use of time, and work around it. And, accept that you can't always win. Sometimes it's socially imperative to do something that's objectively a waste of time (status meetings), so you have to do it.

(Why do they make it so hard to get work done at big companies? No idea. I could never go back. Not being productive at work isn't worth the extra money they pay you. Kind of sad when you think about it.)
how did you go from "mainstream company pushes nft platform" to "nfts have peaked"?
Burnout is an ongoing thing and while I've tried to stand up and keep going a few times there is a structural weakness that keeps me falling down. It feels like an infinite loop where I'm too weak to recover, to survive I have to get up but it takes all of my energy and I fall down. But I can only recover if I try to get up again...

I followed your IG account with my art project robotdrawsyou, one of my maps is on there. I need to follow up on the list of things you recommended it's a fantastic guide. Maybe we can chat about maps some day.
I would suspect that people who behave like he does would out-compete people who behave honestly. From a Darwinian perspective, it would seem that the entire population of politicians will eventually make this same adaptation or otherwise get voted out.

It's like steroids, once everyone starts using them the honest people are no longer able to qualify.
Very true.

And that's why we should decentralise power to the most local entity we can (somewhere between a central government and the individual affected by a choice) and have as few elected officials as possible.

Yes, poverty not race. I grew up below the poverty line in a bad neighborhood in Brooklyn. My neighborhood was the background in Hubert Selby Jr.'s, "Last Exit to Brooklyn". My friends were Irish, Italian, Dominican, and Puerto Rican mainly. There were gangs, drugs, violence, throughout my whole childhood in and outside of my family. My parents never finished high school. All of my inner core of friends did OK, because their parents instilled values in them regardless of all the crap around. BTW, without a phone, a TV in the early years, and of course decades before the internet, we were happy in our bubble. I didn't realize how bad it was until I started hopping on trains with my friends to NYC on the subway at 10 and 11 without our parents, and then the world popped open when I went to high school in NYC. Even my friend Junior's sister, who got pregnant at age 14, managed to finish high school there, and go on to college because of a two-parent household and grandma upstairs. I became an honor student, got accepted to major universities, and have been successful considering where I started. To me a lot is the negativity found everywhere. I still have friends from the baby carriage, and it just seems a lot of excuses are made when kids should be encouraged to rise up and try their best given the circumstances. I look at the preface of a book I still have, "The Boy Engineer: The Study of Engineering from Prehistoric Times to the Present (A Popular Mechanics Book Series)" (no gender wars please - the book is from the 50s!), and knowledge is seen as the key to the universe and doing anything you can imagine. I looked at my daughter's high school chemistry text and there is so much about the doomed earth, planet, life, which is OK to an extent given some real world issues, however, it dominates the narrative. Science is seen as limited and a point of view, not the wondrous thing that brought awe to me when I looked at the stars on my rooftop with binoculars with my Mom when I was 8 or 9. I shouldn't mention hearing gunshots one night with her on the roof, but I will for a bit of darkness for the doom-and-gloom types!

PS: I think putting education on such a high pedestal has demeaned the integrity and honor of working with your hands. I also believe it was a panacea given to the poor as a carrot, and is not the only way out of poverty. Hard work counts!
I should have put the example I was comparing to: VIM. I like VIM as an editor because it's extremely fast and works well once you adapt to it.

I'm sure VSCode and Linear are fast, nice, and fine. I just hated the lag/latency compared to my terminal text editor.

> Who needs a better teacher? The gifted student or the remedial student?

What outcome are you seeking from schooling? The answer to that determines which student needs the better teacher, in order to achieve the desired outcome.
It's still a lot better than nothing.
That's quite funny... do you really not see it?

Study the topics we think are important in the ways we think are important behaving in the ways we think are important.

No schooling in human history looks like the schooling you're describing, yet you treat is as some concequence of nature.
It sounds like this is worse than what I've experienced in multiple US jurisdictions. Any of the random nominees can unilaterally discard my vote without detection. In the US, I physically insert my ballot in a sealed counting machine that the poll workers cannot tamper with without detection. Nobody who has access to my ballot knows which vote is mine, so nobody can censor me without detection.

> if my perception is you claim to not "believe" in things like borders as you very purposefully do as many crimes as possible to bring yourself pleasure, then get on a plane to Berghain or Britain or whatever to do it all over again and demand folks just respect your "mutual association" or some crap.

Yes, you either need town walls (e.g. borders) or you need a legal apparatus that coordinates over a large area. Otherwise, you get people like John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson, traveling town-to-town committing crimes, leaving in fast cars before they can be held to account by local authorities. Walling off every town obviously wasn't practical, so instead the FBI was formed. Anarchists prefer to talk theory and abstract principles, rather than concrete policy that address unfortunate realities like this.
Some of it makes sense.

I don't think VS code would ever accept a change to native UI or switch off of electron, so it seems like a nonstarter for someone who wants to experiment with native UI text editors.

VS code is written almost 100% in JS and typescript, it will always be a nodejs app through and through without a complete rewrite. And even if they wanted to rearchitect VS code all of the extension APIs, extensions themselves, etc. would demand the existing nodejs runtime.

So long story short... VS code is a good editor if you want to contribute to a nodejs and web tech based text editor, but not if you want to explore other architectures or ideas.

It's weird that you can bribe individual EJ's in Philadelphia like this. In Chicagoland, every polling place has a team of 4-5 judges, and they all have to sign off on the final election result, and all the procedural steps that arrive at that number; every individual vote is recorded in the pollbook. I don't even know how you'd generate fake votes in the first place, even if you bought off all 4 EJs.

You can't just make people up! Every vote is tied to a specific registration. We do same-day registration, but those votes are cast provisionally, with a paper log; there aren't many of them, and they can all be set aside and audited after-the-fact.

You certainly can't just make up a final tally. The numbers from the individual voting machines and the paper ballots have to match up; we had to stay an extra 2 hours after the polls closed last time I did this (in 2020) because of an equipment screwup that kept us from doing the final certified count/reconciliation.

Beautiful Soup is an incredibly robust, and powerful tool. However, it can be sometimes be an intimidating tool for beginners (which ".find_x_y_z" method should I use again?). To that end you should check out gazpacho (with just a single "find" method): https://github.com/maxhumber/gazpacho
Do you have a methodology to go with that proposal?

When the paperwork is filled in, we have reported crime (because the police take a police report) and we have convictions (how many people were convicted is a matter of public record since courts are open). What we don’t have is a paper trail for all the crime that isn’t reported or when the paperwork isn’t filled out.

What can a third party bring to the table that the paper records cannot?
Thanks! This was really lovely to hear
