Forgive me, there are enough cultish Elon worshippers around that I can easily give credence to this theory. In fact, on the balance of probability (given the fanatics and Musks powers), I would say it is actually the most reasonable explanation.
Ask HN: How do you take breaks?
I've struggled even to break for lunch most days in my 17 year career as a dev. There are no natural intervals for me to break on and I fear losing context/momentum. I seem to always need to do "one more thing" and suddenly it's 5pm and I'm exhausted and generally unpleasant to be around.
But that doesn't work for the use case described in the article, right? You wouldn't want everyone in your family to have to install form your machine.
I'm the same way. Slack for my day job and multiple Discord servers for my friend groups. I greatly prefer Discord over Slack (replies being one of the things I like most, stop trying to make ~~fetch~~ threads happen Slack).

The only thing I wish Discord supported better are group chats (not on a server). They support them but there is no way to "pin" them to the main sidebar. In general I wish I had more control over the Discord sidebar (show specific channels and/or group chats).
I'm not blaming Tillman. My criticism is with the article author Sarah wright. I'm suggesting that the article could have picked a different, more representative project if it wanted to point out the obstacles to development. As the stats in the article show, the _average_ case is already very bad. Most projects don't become the target of this much focused attention from community groups. Most projects don't "set out to get the project denied at the Board of Supervisors".
The market rate is determined by supply. If you ban the production of new cars, you'll soon find that teachers can't afford a market rate 4 year old Honda either. The whole point of building new housing is that reduces market rate.

The easy fix is to let people build more housing, and pay their teachers more.

I suspect it will never happen, but I would love to work at a company that has front-line managers and recognized "thought leaders", and nothing else at all, most of all - no middle managers, little to no concept of "promo work", etc.

Once you remove the incentive for managers to grow their org (because there's a point where managing more people directly becomes infeasible, or at the very least - painful), you'll have little to no politics, no more constant re-orgs, etc.

Wishful thinking, I know...
Nyquist-Shannon simply says that you need 2x the sample rate of the highest frequency to perfectly recreate something. So, to recreate a 20 kHz wave that was sampled at 16 bits, you'd need 40 kHz sample rate. Bump that up to 22.05 kHz (for anti-aliasing) and you get CD audio.

The bit depth, OTOH, is your signal-noise ratio (noise floor) when sampling/quantizing said audio. It's unrelated to Nyquist-Shannon. More bits gives you less noise when reproducing it. For CD audio, 16 bits was chosen to give an acceptable SNR of 96 dB.

> If you were to read some content that's useful to you, does it matter the source?

The problem I have with this is that it presumes knowledge on the part of the reader.

The AI will frequently produce wrong content that I incorrectly believe was valuable to me.

The AI will frequently omit important things an actual human expert would not have.

It will become increasingly difficult to tell the difference between trustworthy and non-trustworthy content.
I think you're in a relatively small demographic that has even heard of YIMBY, and mainly heard of it through a small contingent of leftist critiques (and also has a negative view of landlords).

Even in SF, that's not really the group whose mind the movement is intending to change. That's the group whose dominant historical grip on the left they're determined to dislodge, because of its harmful effect on San Francisco's progressive program.

When the issue is primarily conceptual and is unlikely to be settled by more data. That's the argument made for the hard problem of consciousness. It's not about evidence, since the nature of evidence is objective and abstract, while consciousness is subjective and concrete.

Similarly with metaphysical matters, evidence isn't going to tell us whether the nature of reality or causation is X, because the evidence is empirically-based. Which won't tell you whether Kant, Hume, Berkeley or Tegmark is right. Maybe reality is all mathematical, mental, contingent, or unknowable, but how would evidence decide the matter?
Right, they are. Choosing to communicate on a private platform such as Discord, rather than something public like Twitter or Reddits is exercising that responsibility.

It was typical for a company to monitor its competitors.
> but instead are criticisms that the dating market involved is dissatisfying to most or all involved compared to what it could be.

According to who? You? I know this site's demographics and prejudices, the middle-class heterosexual white male perspective on dating should be worse than it was 50 years ago! Especially here in the US, the notion of the man courting multiple women has been flipped on it's head. Women are getting more cautious, thinking long-term instead of throwing their hopes and dreams into Joe Shmoe with his Bachelors degree and $50,000 of college debt. I'll listen to people whine about morals until the cows come home, but I think Occam's razor would suggest that men simply have less authority in the dating scene now, leading to greater dissatisfaction and mounting resentment towards sex work. It's a childish thing to complain about.
You're answering a point no one made. It has nothing to do with "being envious".

Imagine you were asked to donate to "keep the animal shelter open", and went you went there you found that they were using gold water dishes for the little critters. You would be within your right to complain. You thought you were donating to keep it operating, but now you find that they're using funds on frivolous expenses. Is there something a dish made out of gold does that one made out of plastic doesn't, to justify the expense? Is there something a $350k executive does that a minimum wage one (or even none at all) doesn't?

Any organization that asks for donations would be subject to criticism if it doesn't optimize its operations as much as possible.

True, but it's also true that even NIMBY's are nominally for more housing somewhere. Just not, y'know, wherever they live, hence the name.
Nginx was written in C. Multithreaded code in a language that doesn't provide any safety rails is hard to get right, and so is async code. They probably figured that the complexity of doing both async and multithreading outweighed the benefits that were predicted to be small. Rust's type system checks for and prohibits many kinds of mistakes that are possible in multithreaded code and in async code, so it's much easier to combine them safely.
I am familiar with that as "The Law of Recapitulation" based on a discarded idea from Biology. I can't find any references now, but the idea was that the evolution of mainframe computers (memory sizes, features such as caches, and so on) was repeated years later by minicomputers and even later by microcomputers. Knowing this I was able to design very advanced micros in the early 1980s since I knew what the future would be like.

"The Wheel Of Reincarnation" described by Ivan Sutherland is closely related, but is based on the idea that computing history is more like a spiral than a straight line, so the future is more similar to the past than to the present.

> One of the root causes of the B737-MAX crashes is that Boeing tweaked some settings in order to make the B737-MAX behave like the original B737 when it was, in fact, a different plane, and they did it wrong.

This is wildly wrong. The only thing you got right is that the MAX was designed to avoid needing a new type certification.

Boeing radically shifted the Cg to accommodate changing trends in the commercial airline industry which were resulting in Airbus's planes being more competitive. They shifted it well outside what would be considered prudent.

This required flight control software bandaids to keep the plane stable (or perhaps better put, from entering a flight envelope where loss of control would happen), but they then also cheaped out of providing redundancy for some critical sensors... AND cockpit annunciators to alert on failures of the sensors.

Boeing then passed off the Cg shift and additional systems as very minor changes in the filing for their airworthiness certifications, the FAA rubber-stamped everything because they didn't have the staff to review all these certificate filings so they largely trust manufacturers...

...and then making things even worse, Boeing did very little to disclose the additional stability system and sensors to the airline's chief pilots who develop the in-house training. To say they were furious to learn they hadn't been told of the new systems would be an understatement.

The MAX crashes would have been substantially less likely if the pilots had benefitted from their airline's chief pilots knowing of the safety systems and having training on how to handle failurs, as well as warning annunciators for sensor failures....but Boeing wanted to save a thousand bucks or so per plane - or more likely, wanted to avoid drawing attention to the situation and having people ask "why is a critical flight control system dependent upon a single sensor?", which is likely why they also did little to inform airlines of the new systems, train the chief pilots on it, etc.
Different ways of getting contracts are unlikely to work.

This seems closer to the Zulip model of chat, which I have always been a huge fan of (but forced to use Slack instead). I see open source projects using Discord. I ask a question and then it doesn't get answered and is lost in the chat. When a project uses forums via Discourse, information is much better organized.
He's an activist. His objective is to affect change in the system, not to get something built. Trying to build something is the pretext for a lawsuit that aims to change the system. The proper comparison is comparing his method of activism to other methods of activism.

If he simply wanted to build something fast, then he'd bribe whoever needs bribing and nothing would change.
This is a super-interesting question.

I don't think it is quite the answer to your question, but I have seen combined heatmaps/dendrograms that feel like a possibility for this? Maybe the heatmap deals with activity between nodes and the dendrogram handles the community cluster relationships? I see them often in bioinformatics

This is why in Los Angeles I've noticed there's so much un-permitted work done without anyone batting an eye. That's also why you have so many un-permitted ADUs in this city complete with plumbing and electrical.

Fence higher than 6 feet? That's technically against the law and you need a special permit, but no one cares and contractors will build without one. We're talking about LA, where concrete walls over 10 feet around homes are common.

Pouring more than 30 square feet of concrete, or replacing a driveway? You need a permit. But guess what, yup, contractors will do that without batting an eye.

Replacing a sink or toilet? Yup, you need a permit. Installing a built-in book shelf that technically takes away square footage? You need a permit. New windows? Permit! New showerhead, that's a permit too – yes, actually. And all of these have fees (some of which are more than the cost of the change), inspections, and will be factored into the tax assessment.

These are requirements for both single family homes and multi-family developments. While LA has no shortage of laws on the books, I'm thankful that at least compared to San Francisco contractors have no hesitation cutting right through it. It might have to do with the fact that unlike SF, LA has the space to keep things out of site from overly-nosy neighbors.
The opposite of anti-racist isn't racist.

You are assuming the decision makers have subconscious racist biases. And you are assuming those biases favor white people, men, etc.

In the world I live in there is a good chance that each of these is false. The fact that they made this statement indicates as much.
Yup. If I talk about a compression algorithm and claim you can run it multiple times and always get a smaller file out the other end, I'll be instantly reminded of the Pigeon Hole Principle.

But then we talk about houses and occupants, and apparently that goes out the window. It's maddening.

I was days _before_ the deadline, so I was the youngest in my grade the entire time. It sucked being the smallest for a lot of things, but also I think there are a lot of benefits (assuming you could keep up) in that I graduated high school at barely 17 and basically got to start my career a year before everyone else my age.
Which orifice did you pull this axiom out of?

Living creatures are compositions of matter, full stop. Patent law applies to them just as it does to any other compositions of matter. There's nothing ethically problematic about this either.

Perhaps (and I am guessing) your problem is that patenting living things is slapping you in the face with the proposition that living things, including yourself, are just arrangements of atoms, and the feeling of dismay at that has transmuted itself into resentful attack on the messenger.

"When they started" has nothing to do with the company's founding but when they started using Discord for this particular purpose. Consider on-prem versus cloud and not switching between them when it makes financial sense because of lock-in and inertial resistance.

Another example: I used to use a wristwatch rather than my phone's clock (this is pre-smart watch) even though just using my phone would have been more efficient. Why did I do this? Because of habitual lock-in. How did I break out of it? I eventually realized how expensive it was to maintain my watch and that there was another option that I already had that did everything my watch did. In your world and under your definition of "the best" then my wristwatch was "the best" solution for telling time despite it obviously not being the most economical or efficient. Until it wasn't, and then my phone somehow became "the best" tool for telling time in your world.

People get verified because they're pretty well known, and people are rarely known by their legal names.

Celebrities are the obvious example, you probably know who Eminem or Lady Gaga are, but very few people know who Marshall Bruce Mathers III or Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta are. Others might also want to have their title in there names, for example presidents, professors, kings etc.
No money goes to a repository that doesn't participate in StackAid. Whatever is allocated to them from a subscription, gets reallocated after a certain period of time.

We are busy thinking through the best way to provide controls around allocation including specifying repositories/organizations you don't want to fund. This feedback is what we wanted to hear before we embarked on an approach.

Some organizations might also specify that they don't ever want to receive money, and allowing us to avoid waiting to reallocate the money intended for their repositories. This is another option we're planning on exposing.
My problem with twitter is not even user spam, but twitters own engagement spam, it seems to be impossible to just see the content of people I follow

I recently signed up first time after like 8 years to follow a handful of interesting accounts. But only maybe 20% of stuff I see is actually from them, the rest is all suggestions by twitter what people/topics I should follow or what people that the people I follow follow posted, etc. And there only seems to be ways to show "fewer" of something, not get rid of it altogether. Completely useless. I reckon there are third party apps and browser extensions to filter this, but since I don't care about those few accounts I follow enough either, I couldn't be bothered and deleted my account again.
Worked fine on mobile for me without showing the desktop site.
Best way to get customer service from brands. The CS at TMobile is terrible, for e.g., but their team on Twitter takes care of things properly and swiftly.
A sane policy would be that there's a process for verified accounts to change their name, and that process is that some human at Twitter sees the account's current name and new name and rejects changes that aren't obviously still "the same person." A policy like this could prevent these kind of "pretend to be Vitalik or Elon or whoever" schemes without actually having to review the verification itself.

So you can still allow hashtags and emoji and so on being stuck onto names, still allow "spooky" Halloween names, but preserve some kind of value from the verified checkmark.

I don't know how many verified users there are but this doesn't seem like it would necessarily be onerous. Of course, it's still more onerous than just doing nothing about it is.

- Easy to use multiplatform free voice chat. That was the original biggest selling point. Yes not everyone wants to selfhost or pay for something a dedicated server, basically killed Teamspeak, Mumble etc and such

- UX which is still better than any combination of alternatives. Yes people want rich media chat, voice, private messages etc.

- It just works. As I said above there might be individual better options but the whole is greater than the sum of its parts

It's not perfect at all but does its job and what I want.

The giant operating budget is what people take issue with.

People see these banners on the website and assume that their donations are going to fund the website. However, the Wikimedia Foundation has been inexplicably expanding their budgets to match whatever amount of money comes in each year, leading them to this endless cycle of needing ever-increasing amounts of donations because they're doing ever-increasing amounts of spending on various activities unrelated to serving the website.
