If you have the same rate as before of people coming into the labor force and slow the rate of people exiting the labor force, the effect on the labor force is...what, again?

> Re: the first point about contribution, this is why Wikipedia doesn't let people be their own primary source — it's because, when that primary-source person eventually stops maintaining the page, who will then be able to take over the maintenance?

It's also because people use having personal Wikipedia pages as a credentials boost, and they write puff pieces about themselves or their friends. If a person is notable, there will be multiple editors on their article, and the hope of the project is that multiple collaborators will reduce bias. If someone is not notable enough that people besides themselves and their friends would contribute to their page, there is room for substantially biased puff pieces. Most people take Wikipedia articles at face value, and don't delve into any of the sources cited, so that is a huge problem.

Wikipedia articles will always struggle with bias issues, but for the reasons you mention, there is no point in spending volunteer time verifying articles and removing bias when they're for people who aren't notable. That's why they just get removed.
Hi, trans person here. I agree with you entirely. If anti-trans language is a team norm, I can easily check for support at the top, and then if I don't have it, I can leave. Is this ideal? No. Does it work perfectly fine given that I understand there is a baseline level of transphobia in my society? Yes.

If you find the history of Ampersand interesting, you may be a word nerd and may qualify for listening to some podcasts on the etymology like these two that are personal favorites.

https://historyofenglishpodcast.com/
A fascinating exploration of the origin and evolution of English. It includes a lot of episodes that cover topics like the Ampersand.

http://www.lexitecture.com/
The premise is simple: in each episode, two friends (Ryan, a Canadian, and Amy, a Scot) get together armed with a new chosen word, and then they regale each other (and you!) with whatever bits of fascinating trivia they’ve been able to uncover about the origins and histories of those words, tracing through the ages to decipher just how each word got from its beginnings to its current use.
From the article:

> It is better to focus simply on the e. Yet even that is not precise enough. The environment is an all-encompassing term, including biodiversity, water scarcity and so on. By far the most significant danger is from emissions, particularly those generated by carbon-belching industries. Put simply, the e should stand not for environmental factors, but for emissions alone.
It feels like you described what the plausible deniability is; or the ostensible excuse that could be used.

But does that actually describe reality?

Given how corrupt and petty Wikipedia's editors have become, the more complete and realistic reason might be that having a complex set of rules that allows some humans to pick and choose who makes it on Wikipedia gives people who would otherwise have little of it, some real world power.

And if you think humans aren't above basing their life activity over a petty bit of power, well, I've got some Reddit moderators to show you.

I get where you're coming from. But I wonder how familiar you are with Argentina, though.

I was born and raised in Uruguay, a smaller neighboring country that shares a lot of traits with Argentina. I'd bet a lot of people from either country will not only agree with OP's characterization, but embrace it. This kind of behavior even has a name that carries positive connotations: "viveza criolla", loosely translated as "local wit". Behaving this way is considered the smart thing to do. Not behaving this way makes you an idiot.

I hated this mentality growing up. I never felt like I fit. I've now lived in Europe for the last 12 years and it feels a lot more like home.
You need privacy "extensions" a lot less if you design your platform for privacy to begin with.

There is an additional ingredient which is very important in Latin America: the very rich see their countries as cash cows and are not particularly interested in changing things.

I've been wondering if this is a world-wide shift in consciousness due to interconnectedness. Things are better than they ever have been by multiple statistical observations, but appear to be worse than ever by the consensus of group think. Of course there are metrics that suck, like global temperature increase. That's why I wonder about a "default mode global consciousness" having something to do with it.

Equating "cares about something else more" with "doesn't care" is pretty toxic. Instagram is a big company that doesn't have feelings, so whatever, but this isn't a healthy discussion habit to reinforce.
If you have organizational backing, it is not hard to use C++ because the company would have already standardized on libraries like Boost and Folley.

And the company would already have a build farm.

I don't have a problem with government subsidy for jumpstarting industry, but it's absurd to give the money to Intel and AMD. They profited massively from offshoring their production. If we are going to spend money (and I agree we must), it should be invested in new competition so that Intel and AMD have to spend their largess on fixing their business model to compete.
Because the mayor created policies that tied the police's hands? Or because they just wanted a different mayor ("vote that librul out or we ain't doing shit" type of thing)?

Cloudways is good at providing a control panel with a user experience resembling expensive Wordpress hosts, including developer workflows and such, while also giving a little more control over the server stack. You pay per server and its resources rather than per site.

The default Cloudways Wordpress stack performs very well. Their caching solution is built on Varnish, controlled by a competent plugin. However, I do find that some themes and site builder themes simply don't play well with at least Cloudways' Varnish conf, so one might end up using the included memcached or redis for page caching, with the help of some plugin like W3 Total Cache.

Customer support can be hit-or-miss.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend using Cloudways' lower tier plans, and Cloudways doesn't recommend them for production use either. I pay about USD 100 per month for a server on Digital Ocean that hosts sites I maintain with a web agency. We rely on Cloudways' development tools. For the number of sites we host, it's a very appealing price compared to certain big-name Wordpress hosting companies.

For someone just wanting to host one or more small websites for a sustainable, low cost, I would recommend looking into well regarded cPanel hosts that runs CloudLinux and LiteSpeed on NVMe hardware. These companies also have some very decent, standardized Wordpress management features these days, even though the cPanel GUI us far from pretty. I describe this in more detail here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32255962

totally untelated but I wonder if DNS response size is optimized in faang..
I disagree. Information today is a unified field across all domains - wikipedia has done better than most at addressing that - you may search for something thinking of it in one domain only to find it relevant in another domain. A domain-specific wiki would not deliver that. The first thought that comes to mind is millions of (public) entrepreneurs who in search of a business / domain / trademark name invariably include in their search a peek on Wikipedia. Such searches cross-fertilize so much creativity.

And I also disagree. I'll bet you know James Earl Jones not just as Darth Vader but also because of his instantly recognized voice. In the past 30 days, commercials featuring James Earl Jones have had 28,635 airings. [0]

> The dynamics of the ad audio industry are stacked against building public recognition

While that is true, the opposite is equally true. Advertisers pay top dollar for instantly recognized voices, which are countless in number.

I've had people tell me it's just a church. Course they've never visited. I was there for the first time in 1975. It took my breath away, there's definitely something spiritual you feel to your core. I felt extreme joy, awe and happiness.

The only other time that I've been such moved is when I visited Dachau. But it's a different feeling one of darkness and extreme sadness.

Both are worth visiting to experience the true arc of human experience.
There's an official exchange rate. If you are a tourist and you want to buy pesos, you have to buy at the official exchange rate.

Of course, there will be other places that will give you rates that are closer to that the actual market value is. They may be disguised as place selling collectable coins or whatever.

At some stores, they may give you a much higher rate if you buy their stuff with foreign cash. USD and BRL are generally accepted.

Then there are the 'arbolitos'. They will be the guys shouting 'cambio!' at tourist locations. YMMV with them. Some are legitimate, some may insert some counterfeit currency in the mix. Personally, I never felt comfortable following someone to an unknown location when they know I have cash in my person.

Thanks for your detailed response. But I still see all of these as computational problem that can also be scaled very easily.
One thing to consider if you're packing in A records, but want to fit in 512 bytes is that there may be an intermediary server doing DNS64, turning your A's into AAAA's at a much increased size. It's been a while since I looked at that, but I was encouraged to return no more than 8 A records, so that T-Mobile could return 8 AAAA and not go over the 512-byte length where things tend to get dicey.

I wonder how many of the people echoing this sentiment have tried and failed to clear the Leetcode bar at these top companies. It's hard to explain this level of consensus as anything other than motivated reasoning. As an earlier commenter stated, "I can believe that Leetcode is uncorrelated with creativity, but I have a hard time believing it's inversely correlated."

The anti-Leetcode leaning on this site has the same flavor to me as the anti-crypto leaning. If you missed out on the easiest money in history (as I did), you're going to have a strong psychological block on accepting that crypto can be interesting or positive, and you're going to be drawn to arguments saying it's doomed to disappear. I have to explicitly set aside my emotions about that topic in order to see it for what it is.

I've had a couple young people complain to me about leetcode interviews at Google. I replied that they could spend a couple weeks going over the leetcode books, and if that was what it took to get a $250,000 job, then that will be the best investment of time they'd ever make.

Besides, one cannot help but learn programming things from examining leetcode solutions.

Google probably also wants to hire motivated people, and people who will study up on leetcode will be a better hire than a lazy one who doesn't want to put in the work.

Microsoft? Really? Is Azure more innovative than Cloud? Where is MSFT innovating? Acquiring Xbox and Minecraft?

And for that matter, where is Amazon innovating outside of AWS (their primary profit engine)?

FB & Google innovate in Ad Tech - that's their core business.

Apple is just more in your face about innovation because their core business is convincing people they need to endlessly spend $2000 every year to get the latest and greatest gadgets.

Even Exxon is innovative in gas exploration... All decent companies are innovative in their core business. Some core businesses aren't as sexy as AirPods.

> Some of the wood used in the foundational carpentry work (tabouret) was found to not meet quality criteria ( not dry enough ).

I would love to see your article, because I think their journalist just doesn't understand how carpentry works :)

In the case of Notre Dame, the works is _extremely_ difficult. We're talking about fitting a massive amount of Oak timber that used to came from 200-300 years old oak trees into a monument.

Finding trees that are in good shape and -at least- old enough so they can be used whole for carpentry is difficult. Turning a tree into a single huge oak beam is difficult. Transporting a beam to Notre-Dame without damaging it is difficult. Assembling several beams together into a "ferme" is difficult. And, of course, carpentry is often done with same-age trees cut at the same time so they can age together in place and dry on site for tighter fit. Getting that repeated xn times is difficult.

If the oak was "too green", that's not an issue, as long as the rest of the oak is also "too green". They will bend and crack, and that's usual for oak carpentry. It's literally the least of their issues.

By the way, the original "forest" of Notre-Dame was built from oak trees that were transported onsite via the Seine. Trunks directly in water. So the wood was completely soaked when cut into place. It's something we don't do anymore, so the oak can be "not dry enough" as you want, it's still going to be dryer than the original.
That plugin is probably based on BlogVault's Migrate Guru, which is available for free and works with a number or hosts. It's a game changer, really.
Fabs are only a small part of the supply chain. Any one of the thousands of critical components that go into maintenance or manufacturing put the whole thing at risk. Just dumping money on industry will not solve this. Having a dirt to package solution with everything domestically produced would and it doesn't need to be the latest process node, that is ridiculous and folks that advocate for that don't see the forest for the trees.

Anyone remember how the capital-owning class and their pet politicans were blaming inflation on Covid stimulus checks (eg [1])?

I want you to remember that when you see bills like this one.

Why? Because most of the Covid relief didn't go to individuals. It went to companies. In many cases, the stimulus was to avoid layoffs. Companies laid people off anyway (eg [2]) and used the money for share buybacks. Some governments used the money to build prisons (eg [3]). Biden, before testing positive for Covid, was intending to announce the use of Covid money for increased police funding [4].

My point is that very little of that Covid stimulus made it to consumers but it had a dramatic impact on temporarily eliminating or reducing poverty [5].

Yet giving people money is often viewed as a moral hazard.

Yet we're so willing to give away hundreds of billions to companies while not expecting them to take any sort of haircut on record profits in an era of massive inflation.

Also, let's not forget what happened to Wisconsin and Foxconn [6].

> This seems like wishful thinking. Why assume that academic intelligence makes you less creative?

Unfortunately - it's common on HN - I've seen all sorts of hobby-horses tied to creativity. Everything from the economic system (capitalism vs "socialism"[1]), to "freedom", wealth and race (or something close to it as one can make on HN without being flagged - which is close indeed).

In all these scenarios, the commenter's favored group are creative and predestined for success because of their affinity, and the others should fail and therefore will fail and the author will resort to all forms of justifications, despite not having any evidence (or while ignoring the existence of contrary evidence)

1. Once, I couldn't get an answer why DJI was kicking all American drone companies asses (back,when they existed in comparable form), despite all the alleged inherent creativity from living in a country overflowing with freedom.

That we’ve managed to conduct our society so far without using alternative pronouns such as “xi/xir” is a strong indication that it’s a neo-political construct and, while I might be sympathetic to the person who prefers to be called by those terms, I will not go out of my way to force everyone in the company to - they’re also usually referential (without the person present) and I will get them wrong myself too.

You bringing them into the argument doesn’t make it valid.

Basically hijacking a discussion with irrelevant points that vaguely support your case is not valid.

OP’s point, the article is incorrect because of the value brought by E2E encryption to the masses, then various debate on how that wasn’t such a big deal, or was done wrong.

Phone numbers and iPhone zero days have nothing to do with the impact of Signal’s e2e.
