Exactly this! The attempt to reduce "cult" to a strict rule-based definition means you can be endlessly mired in semantic debate rather than actually address the operational parameters that make an organization or association unattractive to join, which is usually what people mean when they say "that's a cult".

"Cult" carries a ton of baggage. You say "hey, that MLM you want to join satisfies 4/10 properties of a cult -- it's a cult!" and the baggage is "Jonestown was a cult and they all died. Heaven's gate was a cult and they all died. Branch Davidian was a cult and they all died." It's a rhetorical sleight of hand, nothing more, and it will not convince anyone or create an interesting discussion; it'll just come down to some argument about whether Catholicism is a cult.

In order to actually get anything useful, you have to show how the cult-like properties either inevitably lead to the negative consequences (which is nigh impossible; some of these definitions apply to little league teams) or talk about the specific negative or questionable behaviors of the organization itself.
>"these days"

This has ever been the case.

As one example, you can look at the cyclic nature of words used to describe someone who, according to current terms, has an "intellectual disability":

Idiot

Moron

Imbecile

Retarded

These words and others have, at various times, been used in a specific clinical context. As those words seeped out of the clinical setting into the general public's awareness they started being used in more generic, looser, non clinical settings, often as insults. When that happened-- often when the associated stigma gained so much weight that it was difficult to use as a unloaded clinical term-- new terms started to be used. "Retarded" is the most recent to reach its EOL. Phonemic complexity seems to make this process a little more difficult: Intellectual Disability may be too much of a mouthful to easily become a quick insult.

The evolution & etymology of these terms is actually a bit more complex than this, but it gives a rough sketch of the phenomenon. It's just the natural cycle of language use.
I, Robot used a lot of great tricks, but I'm gonna have to consult John Manfrida on the use of actual BSP trees.

Legal oversight is still required. If you come in my house and $5 wrench my BTC out of me, legal oversight is still required to make it right, just as it would have happened with fiat, with banks, or barter, or whatever else.

If I run a scam, legal oversight is going to whoop my ass, even if the "legal oversight" is people that had their money stolen doing justice themselves.

Meat space still exists, but at least with crypto you're still minimizing the amount of trust required to digitally operate your own finances. "But then crypto is pointless" is a dumb take, because while not perfect it's still a massive, MASSIVE improvement over the "trust me bro" that financial istitutions are running on today.
You are conflating the state of the art with how difficult something is.

As other have noted in the comments, research into nutrition is often poorly distributed and implemented. It often over emphasizes child nutrition and neglects adult nutrition. And it is fraught with bad science and agendas.

This says nothing about how complex nutrition is compared to any other field of research.

Wikipedia implicitly (or maybe explicitly if you read the policies) relies on sources that have gatekeepers, however unknowledgeable/biased/cursory those gatekeepers are in practice.

In general, if an idea/niche is profitable, you will have competition. In fact, if you have idea and there seems to be no competition, that should itself be a red flag.

Fortunately, virtually no markets are truly "winner take all." And having a lower threshold for how much revenue is "enough" makes it such that you can justify attacking niches that are simply too small for a company with a huge valuation that needs to show growth multiples.
Do you know for a fact that cutting carbon emissions will bring more rain to those places that are drying up? How quickly? How much time will it take between everyone getting reasonable and stopping carbon emissions, and climate actually turning around in our favor?

Its too late for warning about carbon emissions. Sure, we need to address it to not worsen future issues, but it's not going to solve our current and impending problems. Am i mistaken?

Its really just the control boards that are the problem. Swap them out and you are done. I guess with how much a car costs, there is incentive to reverse and engineer a solution.
> controlled by no one, with standardized API's

Controlled by no one, but suddenly standardized APIs exist. Who standardized them?

Controlled by no one, but suddenly everyone is going to use those standardized APIs that appeared by magic. And even those entities that never ever used open or standardized APIs will rush to use them because blockchain.

> We've never had this before, and it's incredible how fast the DeFi space is moving because of it

Theres nothing amazing about companies busy reinventing flash loans and currency speculation.

> This is a radical new way of building finance and it's the fastest paced industry I've ever been a part of.

It's only fast because it deals in fantasy tokens in a very limited scope with zero oversight or regulation. And this space is busy re-discovering why these regulations exist in the first place.

> Like AWS people didn't understand the value initially

Most people understood AWS value initially. 2-3 years after launch everyone understood AWS. Now everyone uses it.

AWS provided, and still provides, a multitude of services that are actually useful. Where as the "fast moving space" offers nothing outside the "buy low sell high flash loan" hamster wheel that is "defi"?

> I think a lot of HN doesn't get it because they don't work in finance, but everyone I've talked to who works in finance (or has to deal with their archaic systems) is really excited about the possibilities.

There are very very few people in finance who are excited about it. For many, many, many reasons.

Those who are excited are excited for all the wrong reasons: scams, speculations, unlimited investor money. The last one will probably go away soon. Speculations are only valuable as long as the fictional tokens are valuable for some definition of value. There's almost nothing else in the crypto space.
From the page you linked:

The reason to use : instead of / to separate the custom verb from the resource name is to support arbitrary paths. For example, undelete a file can map to POST /files/a/long/file/name:undelete

At the end of the day there is no 'right' way to build an URI rule set for an API, it's a hill I will die on.

Everyone has their own reasons and limitations, heck, some people get you to use POST over GET because of security and header limitations of GET.

It's important to get your solution running and that means following their rules.

If you do set your own rules for a URI naming scheme, just make sure you try to follow those rules consistently. Then at least your flavor of madness will be consistent :)

It's not the silliness of the beliefs, I'm talking about the rabbithole thinking phenomenon. What I saw with QAnon (and I experienced in my own thinking) reminds me of what I hear about Scientology, where people are revealed increasingly fantastical things as they continue in.

I'm not saying this makes a cult, I'll take your point there. But I am wondering if it's an aspect of a real cult, i.e. if these can be called "cult tactics". And if so, if there's at least value in making the qualified comparison. QAnon is still detrimental, introspection still worthwhile to avoid such things, etc. Nobody will chase me down, but it can still be detrimental (even if not a cult) if I still actually believe in it (which I imagine many cult members do and which also helps keep them in the cult).

And to be clear, Scott Adams wasn't detrimental other than making me feel stupid. QAnon is worse.
Those are representations, not types. I think they are using the "what can I do with this" definition of type, which is just its public API, and nominality (walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, doesn't mean it's a duck)
> I talked with either ignore it completely or argue that it's worse because it "induces sprawl".

But, sprawl is only a problem because of commutes. If you had sprawl with lots of small, local commercial outlets, then that's just perfect. No long commutes to work and no long commutes to get life's necessities.

Once, in a small town in Colorado I passed two people, a man and a woman, and there was something very strange about them. I mentioned it to a friend of mine and he told me about them: they were refugees from the far south, from a indigenous people that no one knew. No one spoke their language and they knew no other. Their home and people had been destroyed and scattered.

After that, I realized what was so strange about them. They were ghosts, but they still had their bodies.
Using a BSP tree to render front to back rather than back to front is also quite obvious: it's the same visit in the opposite order.

I have a Garmin vívoactive 3 which to me is a good fit because it is "smart enough" - all the basic features I would want from a smartwatch (fitness tracking, GPS, phone notifications, music control) behind a fairly basic UI. My partner bought an Apple Watch a while ago and while it's quite snazzy and probably does a lot more stuff, the battery life really limits its usefulness and it is very expensive for what it is.

I've had mine just over 2.5 years. It's still going strong so hopefully it will continue to serve me for a while yet, but comparing smartwatches to traditional watches really makes you realise how short-term these gadgets are. People here talking about their 16 year old Casio watches - no way this Garmin will reach anything like that age. And then of course you have those quality timepieces that are passed down through generations.

Really interested to hear more real-life user reviews of the BankgleJS 2, which I only heard about recently and seems to tick all the boxes while being open and hackable.

As someone who was diagnosed early in childhood with ADHD, it wasn't until I was older that I put together the fact that I almost always had a fan on in the background whenever I was trying to concentrate on things and the impact outside noise has on me. These days I'm generally wearing some kind of ANC headphones whenever I try to get anything done and it helps immensely. I think one of the things people don't realize about ADHD (aside from there being actual different types) is that you can be super-sensitive to very basic things that other people can ignore, and there's no easy way to shut it off.

If this thread has life after 5 days, I'll offer some general perspective and my individual angle on the subjects discussed here.

People's tech experience has earning potential but untold thousands of people have similar experience and are trying to get a footing working for themselves using that experience. Absent some remarkable idea, the world probably isn't willing to pay (much) for yet-another person doing the same thing. Money should not be the only determining factor for the path we take, of course, but meeting our basic needs is pretty important, especially if you have kids like I do.

Thus, identifying an un(der)served niche can be a key differentiator.

I took an unconventional approach, after being (directly) in tech for 14 years, and started my own consulting business. This business works with law firms to analyze and describe software (and some hardware) to give them insights on intellectual property litigations. Most of my day is spent learning how other people implemented specific solutions and advising clients on what those solutions mean for their IP cases. I love helping smart, grateful clients through learning and then explaining their tech stack.

I have a handful of people on my team that are former developers that wanted to use their experience in a different way. We enjoy working together and like the work we do. People are key. We make reasonable incomes but not outlandish $.

This business is a relationship business, as any professional services business is, so we focus on meeting client goals and anticipating their needs. This approach does not need to be grueling (I've experienced a grueling form of this before going on my own) but this approach, and the business generally, requires some effort. Those that have gone out on their own will usually find that they put more effort into the business, than they did working on their own, but that the new approach is more gratifying and is thus an overall win for them.

This post is about sharing my experience and a different take the topic discussed in this thread, rather than looking for new colleagues, but I would be open to hearing from people who find what I say intriguing. DM me if so.
If I can't own it then I'm not buying it. Period, end. Full stop.

This is why I don't use services such as Spotify. This is also why I still buy DVD's and Blu-Ray. You can make fun of me all you want but at least I own these things and I don't have to keep paying for them ad infinitum.

That's also why I use software such as LibreOffice and Gimp. These tools are installed on my machine and I can use them whenever I want for as long as I want. I don't have to keep paying to continue using them. I pay them when I upgrade.

Bottom line, I'm not against paying for things so long as I own them. I'm against subscribing to durable goods. At the rate this nonsense is going Ryobi is going to start demanding a subscription for me to continue using my mitre saw. Nonsense!

As others mentioned there were dark patterns presented as 'more correct' - there were also several stylistic choices which are entirely subjective - a major one being border radius.

Yeah, it looks nice, but so do nice clean rectangular edges. This test is missing context, in that sense it is pretty subjective.

Some of the alignment issued were fairly objective, many of them were not, e.g. some vertical alignment ones. Ofc you want consistent alignment, but you simply can't look at two images to figure out what is 'correct'. That's a design decision.

> customers want low prices, and I know that’s going to be true 10 years from now. They want fast delivery; they want vast selection. It’s impossible to imagine a future 10 years from now where a customer comes up and says, “Jeff I love Amazon, I just wish the prices were a little higher.”

Actually there is one thing people are starting to desire -- less choice. I think some kind of curated content for anything has a lot of potential because mostly I do not care if I get the 100% perfect thing, I care about it being 80% right and not a headache. The time investment is not really worth the trouble to find the perfect thing.
