Yep, if you're on the internet long enough you'll remember the days before you were portscanned constantly. You'll remember the days before legions of bots hammered at your HTTP server.

People producing products don’t actually care. I’d love to see stats on this made public (I’ve seen internal metrics). Facebook and Twitter don’t even show you what your ad is near. You fundamentally just have to “trust” them.

If you have a billboard with someone being raped beneath it and a photo goes viral, no one would blame the company advertising on the billboard. Frankly, no one will associate the two to change their purchasing habits.

The reason corporations care are the ESG scores and activist employees.

Also these brands still advertise in places where public executions will happen (Saudi Arabia). No one is complaining there.

Consider editing title to read “What Marc Andreessen has been up to lately”
At least in the US, oil production is most certainly a competitive commodity market. Like lumber, buyers are constantly seeking the lowest price and sellers are seeking the highest price. Always, every second. You can see this on the commodities boards.

The question of supply is a separate question. No American major is curtailing production to increase price. None of them have that much market leverage. I assure you, if the oil companies (both majors and juniors) thought the capex would pay, they’d make the investment. But two years of high prices cannot justify the cost of a new oil rig with an eight year projected payback. Particularly when the party in power is explicitly promising to outlaw their business model. That means when demand surges as we saw the last couple years, there will be little surge capacity to respond and prices will increase.
Is the market setting the rates when the Fed has them bottomed out? Kind of hard to tell when the banks are essentially able to create free money at the discount window. I imagine interest rates would be much, much higher than we are used to if they relied on raw savings. Things would be very different for sure, and we most likely would not be able to maintain enough growth to match population growth. That would mean widescale creeping poverty. Maybe not, seems like all we know is a strong dollar cheap fiat orgy, and it has been quite nice.
Good luck finding certain foods without artificial sweeteners. 99% of whey protein powders have it. I have to buy pure whey and then I add sugar to it (of course I add a much lower amount because I am not addicted to insanely sweet foods).

I don't know if this is true, but I've heard the algorithm has changed over the years - in 2015 during peak Vlog, there wasn't much content on Youtube made by creators targeting (and putting professional-level effort into) the platform, so the algorithm rewarded creators that were creating enough content to really hold a user on Youtube.

Now, there's enough content that the algorithm favors quality more, because YT can more easily keep a user by recommending similar content from a different creator of a higher quality.

.. again, no idea if that's true, but it does feel like it makes sense.

> But I think people need to be realistic that families of Cuban refugees form one of the largest block of swing voters in one of the largest US swing states. It's an unlikely thing to happen

It seems ironic that Florida Cubans seem to want to continue the blockade. They must know that it's hurting their relatives back in Cuba. And if it's not effective, then why keep it in place? (effective in this case meaning something that leads to meaningful regime change in Cuba - The blockade has been in place for a long time and hasn't led to a change.)

It seems like a much better plan for changing Cuba would be to fully engage. Allow trade. Obama began down that path, but Trump stopped it and went back to the status quo. Obama was playing the long game (like he was with Iran) by engaging with Cuba knowing that eventually it would lead to change.
> In other words, we're only supportive of an asymmetrical risk:reward ratio that favors management.

Actually we have, the risk:reward ratio is generally consistent across founder/management vs IC.

Are you simply saying that because CEO to IC pay ratio has expanded drastically in recent years that it's not accurately accounting for the risk? You realize that ~x% cut in workforce includes managers right? In fact, often times cheaper more productive ICs stay and expensive middle management is first to go. Seems like that is accounting for it no?

> there will be NO relation between the topic of the content and whether you moderate it, because itʻs the specific posting behavior thatʻs a problem

I get why Yishan wants to believe this, but I also feel like the entire premise of this argument is then in some way against a straw man version of the problem people are trying to point to when they claim moderation is content-aware.

The issue, truly, isn't about what the platform moderates so much as the bias between when it bothers to moderate and when it doesn't.

If you have a platform that bothers to filter messages that "hate on" famous people but doesn't even notice messages that "hate on" normal people--even if the reason is just that almost no one sees the latter messages and so they don't have much impact and your filters don't catch it--you have a (brutal) class bias.

If you have a platform that bothers to filter people who are "repetitively" anti large classic tech companies for the evil things they do trying to amass money and yet doesn't filter people who are "repetitively" anti crypto companies for the evil things they do trying to amass money--even if it feels to you as the moderator that the person seems to have a point ;P--that is another bias.

The problem you see in moderation--and I've spent a LONG time both myself being a moderator and working with people who have spent their lives being moderators, both for forums and for live chat--is that moderation and verification of everything not only feels awkward but simply doesn't scale, and so you try to build mechanisms to moderate enough that the forum seems to have a high enough signal-to-noise ratio that people are happy and generally stay.

But the way you get that scale is by automating and triaging: you build mechanisms involving keyword filters and AI that attempt to find and flag low signal comments, and you rely on reports from users to direct later attention. The problem, though, is that these mechanisms inherently have biases, and those biases absolutely end up being inclusive of biases that are related to the content.

Yishan seems to be arguing that perfectly-unbiased moderation might seem biased to some people, but he isn't bothering to look at where or why moderation often isn't perfect to ensure that moderation actually works the way he claims it should, and I'm telling you: it never does, because moderation isn't omnipresent and cannot be equally applied to all relevant circumstances. He pays lip service to it in one place (throwing Facebook under the bus near the end of the thread), and yet fails to then realize this is the argument.

At the end of the day, real world moderation is certainly biased. And maybe that's OK! But we shouldn't pretend it isn't biased (as Yishan does here) or even that that bias is always in the public interest (as many others do). That bias may, in fact, be an important part of moderating... and yet, it can also be extremely evil and difficult to discern from "I was busy" or "we all make mistakes" as it is often subconscious or with the best of intentions.

At SewerAI we are building the sewer inspection platform of the future. Our platform, Pioneer, is an AI and data management service that is improving the speed, effectiveness and cost for cities and engineering firms to manage infrastructure. Our cutting edge AI lowers the total cost of ownership of cities’ infrastructure by reducing the dirty, dull, and dangerous work that must be done to maintain infrastructure, while our web platform allows efficient management and analysis of sewer systems.

So that's it for the HR blurb. Real talk, we are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer who loves exploring outside the box solutions to problems with a good sense of how to architect maintainable clean code. We really don't place any limits on what you can do, and encourage prototyping experimental solutions. As far as the stack goes, everything currently runs on AWS Lambda, with a Django and Python as the primary language. The frontend app is some intense React with Typescript. We also have an electron app to communicate with truck hardware over a serial connection. Apply at the below link if interested. (No whiteboarding for the interview.)

New investment is things like making buildings, investing in VC, making new machines for manufacturing. Those are funded by cash or loans. When interest rates rise more cash goes to seeking interest and less toward these physical investments, and less money is created de novo from loans to fund these things.

It’s worth keeping in mind that money spent on new buildings and machines goes to wages of employees building them, which then goes to rents and food, and elsewhere throughout the economy.

For 2, yes and no. A lot of workers are employed doing things with low or speculative marginal ROI (example: Coca Cola starts funding R&D into a new line of beverages) because the cost of capital (taking a loan against cash flow or spending earnings on reinvestment instead of returning it to shareholders) is low. Increasing interest rates increases the cost of capital, the risk feee opportunity cost of spending money on more speculative pursuits like R&D. So now Coca Cola might instead choose to return that money to shareholders or not take out financing to start operations like that

It's a somewhat humorous misappropriation of a mathematical term being applied conceptually.

Roughly speaking, a Fourier transform takes as input a signal (like audio) and produces a spectrogram (the signal's component frequencies).

So "Idea Fourier" is a roundabout way of saying "take the component ideas from a statement". But really, GP just suggested making inferences or deductions, which has nothing to do with Fourier transforms.
> why the demand shrinks when there's not enough new investments?

The way I understand it: when interest rates increase, the ROI for any investment goes down, which makes many new investments risky or worthless. Thus investments in new projects go down, which reduces the demand. The investment could be a new shop, raw materials for new buildings, software projects, etc. When it's said the "demand" decreases, its not the want that goes away but the ability of people to realize the want that goes away.

> if demand does not shrink by much, shouldn't the same number of workers be kept employed to fulfill the demand for goods?

Depends. If the cost of doing business rises, the profit decreases. To maintain value, there could be a decrease in headcount increase or layoffs.

> it means the economy is heavily reliant on industries/sectors which relies on new investments (aka growth)

I think (and someone who is more aware can correct me), it boils down to the ROI. Why would any business investment in something with risk when the ROI doesn't make it worth it. If the risk-free interest rate 5%, any investment with a ROI of say 7% or below (higher for riskier investments) are out of the question. Any entity could make money by saving at the risk free rate.

> amount of economic activity and the amount of available labor are what drive prices

The relationship is sufficiently complex to permit e.g. falling unemployment, falling (not negative) wage growth, falling (including negative) growth and falling inflation. It's not a deterministic system.

> in a sense increase combustion is a goal

No, it's not, because the goal--reaching the destination quickly--would be accomplished equally well in an electric car with no combustion. That's the difference between a goal and an effect.
One thing to always remember is that companies (especially startups) have strong incentives to always have a lot of job openings on their websites. Because it looks like the company is doing great. Also, there is no legal obligation to actually hire someone. So it is almost a zero risk move.

FRANCE INVESTIGATION
The strange saga of how France helped build Wuhan's top-security virus lab
MAY 31, 2020 BY KARL LASKE AND JACQUES MASSEY
The maximum-level biosafety laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the first of its kind to be built in China, and has been the centre of huge speculation since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic which originated in that city. The laboratory, which is equipped to handle Class 4 pathogens (P4) including dangerous viruses such as Ebola, was built with the help of French experts and under the guidance of French billionaire businessman Alain Mérieux, despite strong objections by health and defence officials in Paris. Since the laboratory's inauguration by prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve in 2017, however, France has had no supervisory role in the running of the facility and planned cooperation between French researchers and the laboratory has come to a grinding halt.
