Agreed. I would even call such initiative premature optimization, with unknown gain compared to just optimize the WebView component in the native shell if that's ever needed. More so for any new startup trying to enter the KMS space in general.

I don't think Notion need to worry about FB. I think Notion might need to be worried about the potential market saturation caused by how easy it will be for a small team of 3 to clone Notion (and all of its integration, API, and so on) on all platform perfectly in a weekends. At that point, it's not the technology bottleneck anymore but more so a battle over branding and minor UX improvement.
My typical method of helping with this is to find common ground. Find something you both agree on, even if it’s only tangentially related, and then pose an argument and phrase it as such.

For example, when discussing if the Earth is flat or round, you might both find agreement in that nobody has ever fallen off the edge of the Earth. Then you might try to pose an argument as to why - which is more likely, that nobody has ever traveled far enough to fall off, or that the earth is actually a continuous plane?

I find assigning probabilities to topics often helps.

But sometimes you can’t, and that’s when you agree to disagree and politely exit the discourse.
Note that they pay Apple $15B a year just to be default search in a browser HN considers as having almost no share. Here are actual stats though:

Considering Apple iPhone’s high user rate in the United States, it is no wonder that Safari, the browser pre-installed on every iPhone, is also widely used. When it comes to the overall browser market, however, Safari’s leading status gets lost: Chrome is the number one internet browser in the United States with a market share of about 50 percent, while Safari trails as a second with around 35 percent share. Safari lags even further behind in the desktop browser market, with only around 18 percent share. This correlates to Apple’s standing in the PC market: ranked as number four in the market as of the third quarter of 2021, Apple’s Mac computers enjoy a relatively niche yet loyal user group. With a nearly 60 percent share, Chrome is the dominating figure in the U.S. desktop browser market.

"As a white guy, I'd certainly encourage you not to worry about this -- if we're talking about an upper middle class, professional-ish activity, you can be fairly sure that all those white people feel self-conscious about their group being so white and would welcome you to join them."

This isn't an attack and your sentiment seems genuine but obviously this person knows his fears are not logical. I doubt most people can will themselves into feeling accepted even if others, like yourself, do your best to them feel accepted.

That's why representation matters
Yes, all of that can easily be boiled down to the efficiency of an electric motor versus a gasoline engine. The more miles you drive the faster you will offset any carbon from manufacturing.

I found this through a search for documents on "TIS-100: Tesselated Intelligence System", the game. Not related but still interesting and thought provoking.
but this isn't about marketing or needing a BIPOC to point out BIPOC markets?

thats a really odd take, how did you start with connections and end up with consumer marketing?

is this a personal experience or is this non-sequitur is a common sentiment because we need to address that as ignorance
I think you're missing the point.

The 2,500 miles figure is just:

the amount of CO2 emitted in the production of a battery represented as how many miles driving an ICE to produce a similar amount of emissions

A purely arbitrary and somewhat useless comparison. That's all I was trying to point out. If you read into the source of that article it has some actually relevant figures :)

EDIT: also, you misread that bit. 2,500m is for one metric ton. The article states that a battery's manufacturing will take between 2.5 and 16 metric tons of CO2

So the actual figure is: 6.25k-40k miles
To add to this, Shakespeare might sound dry, but it's the same as if you read a screenplay instead of watching a movie; plays are meant to be seen, not (only) read.

Something else that might impact our current understanding is that we are not in their time period, so many things we don't understand might be specific to their time, even if we get the broad strokes and very human themes, such as love or revenge. It's the same as if someone 400 years from now saw the movies we put out, some things are just very specific to the time and place.

There's also the change in English and pronunciation too, of course.
> Many workers say they see little connection between working hard and being rewarded.

At the same time, in most tech companies I see a lot of backpressure against performance reviews, which is exactly the instrument of rewarding hard work.
> Instead, they’re assessing candidates on what is actually relevant to the company.

Great question - what is relevant to the company? This is the #1 purpose of technical screening: To assess whether the candidate can do the job you're trying to hire them for. If the job involves programming, one of the things you need to assess is whether the person can program.

Telling me your job history, verbally solving hypothetical architecture problems, or pointing to a github repository with some code in it does not assess whether you can program. All of these things are good signals, but past experience can be misleading, and github activity is trivially easy to fake.

I've interviewed over 400 people. All of them passed an automated screening process before they talked to me. About half of the people I talked to failed to solve a simple 1st year programming problem, using their own computer and their favorite language in the half an hour we allotted to the task. Beginners I understand, but its shocking the number of people who have somehow worked in the industry for 20+ years yet only seem to be able to paw ineffectually at eclipse when you ask them to write fizzbuzz.

Any interview process that doesn't screen these people out is useless. Its harsh but, if you are one of these people I love you but I don't want to hire you.

Lots of people seem to hate programming challenges. But I've yet to hear a viable alternative. Whats yours?
In a group setting that is particularly prone to overspeaking, I find literally raising your hand always works. Someone inevitably notices quickly, points it out, everyone chuckles and shuts up, and you suddenly have the floor.

They're too young to articulate the difference caused by a lack of emotion in the storytelling; but as kids, they are still early enough in their developmental process that I imagine hearing massive amounts of spoken audio, which lacks emotional depth, will harm them. I'd be cautious.
Not really? We have no idea the relativity of our change vs what's supposed to happen when coming out of an ice age because of our short window we are observing.

A fair assessment, but I find it funny that 15 seconds per month is considered inaccurate, analog watches would kill for that sort of accuracy, a railroad quality pocket watch for example must loose no more than 30 seconds per week. I would guess that as smartphones are replacement for the pocketwatch, The way their network connected, never drift clock works becomes the new normal.

I have to admit, for my day to day use I am happy if I am less than five minutes off.
Convenience isn't the point. The rules of society, laws, morality, ethics, compassion as a virtue ... they don't exist as physical laws. They're human constructs, and humans can (and do) choose to ignore them.

It's an important growth moment to realise that the consequences of violating those "laws" are not delivered by the laws of nature but instead by the behaviour of humans. So you can be rude or arrogant, and the only punishment for that comes from people choosing not to work with you or similarly being unpleasant back to you.

Nazis had a lack of compassion and denied some people the (man-made!) rights of humanity based on race, ability, sexual orientation, and other categories. The consequences for that behaviour had to come from other people standing up to them.

I've met people who think that "the universe" will deliver just punishment for violating an ethical or moral code. In reality, every society and set of values is held together by people defending them and meting out punishing to violators. Sometimes formally (police, courts, armies, declarations of war) and sometimes personally.

The thing I love about smalltalk is that the language grammar has about 7 rules in it and everything else is defined as passing messages to objects.

Want to add a method? You send the class a message and pass it a block with the method contents.
Want define a class? You send the parent class the subclass message.
Want an if statement? You evaluate a Boolean in a block and send it the ifTrue or ifFalse messages.

It means that sometimes it reads a bit strange, but there's a purity to it I love. Plus if you don't like it you can just define your own methods - for example I once did an (unfinished) library for GNU Smalltalk that gave it a more traditional if statement and loop constructs.
Not at all. No gas stations and no oil changes is a real quality of life improvement, and would be even if Teslas ran on pure coal and orphans.
I don’t really care about this one or the other but you’re taking about this thing exactly the way cultists do. It doesn’t lend it any credence. Why would the “evil scientists” be so against your ideology, specifically? Academics publish papers on all kinds of things. This is the same type of stuff of Gene Ray or flat-Earthers etc.

"Warren grew up in Oklahoma, where, she has long claimed, family history held that her great-great-great-grandmother O.C. Sarah Smith was part Native American."

"The analysis suggested she is descended from an American Indian between six to ten generations ago, making her between 1/64th and 1/1024th Native American."

More to the point, she wasn't running on her Native American ancestry "credentials," and she didn't have to take down her resume for claiming education and work experience she did not have.
This might be a good thread to ask this. I have done all the math in college, but I don't fundamentally understand sine, cosine, tangents, and logs. For sine, cosine, and tangents, I understand how they may correlate on a graph, but that doesn't really give me additional insight into how to apply or use any of this. Similar thoughts on logs, especially when it comes down to O(logn).

Maybe someone can direct me to a video to help me develop a deeper insight?

Dancing. I was both horrible at it and or disaster happened when doing it* so I became 'too cool' to dance.

One New Year's I finally had a girlfriend I could be authentic with, we were at the city's 'First Night' party, so different activities all over town, and I told her 'I really want to go dance to the big band in the grand ballroom. But I am a horrible dancer and every woman I have danced with has made fun of me'. She was down, was patient, and it was one of the most fun nights of my life. After that we started taking salsa lessons. So just dance. And if the people you are with make fun of you, don't stop dancing, stop being with those people.

* Example: Junior prom, slow dancing with my date in her fancy dress with her $200 hairdo. The gum I was chewing (because I took her out to sushi, which she informed me was gross, and therefore would not kiss me until I got the taste out of my mouth) somehow attached to a hair of hers in my mouth. Before I could unstick it she flicked her hair, yanking the gum from my mouth and into the rest of her long hair. Fun times were not had by all.

Are you sure? This may not be as true as you think it is, in my experience.

I have ADHD, so tend to talk fast, excitedly, and pack my sentences full of info. I have found, through experience, that intentionally slowing down and explaining a little more goes a long way toward understanding and productive discourse.

ADHD people, in particular, often see connections where neurotypical people don’t; making those connective leaps explicit is often extremely helpful in that context, but it’s easy to assume that something obvious to you is obvious to someone else, even when it usually isn’t.
I try to frame conversations about disagreements more about getting to know the other person and why they have that opinion.

Both because that's less adversarial, and getting to know people is always interesting.

I actually took that program and was running 5k. Once I even got to 10k relatively easy. But I never get the kicks from running except those numbers achieved. The only pleasure from running for me is when I stop running and go to shower to wash all the sweat. But I can go to shower without running and that would be same pleasure without prior suffering. How do you motivate yourself to run?
You can put words in my mouth. But you claimed upward trend. I didn't. You switched it to steady. I did not. You picked arbitrary time windows and lowered the resolution, I did not. Your data contradicts your own thesis. Mine doesn't.

You can. I have bad ADHD too, and you can learn coping mechanisms for it. Get a little notebook and write notes as you listen, so you don’t forget, for example.

I would imagine you'd approach it like any other junior developer would, some kind of portfolio, and applying to literally anything until you get in, as well as meeting people. A hiring manager would see anything as a risk, including your working years as anything else, because they'd need to imagine that you can take instruction from a 25 y.o intermediate or 29 y.o "senior" person on a team. If doing it as a job is something you truly want to do, and that is a big if, apply to some really boring corporate gigs in junior positions.

There's a big difference between being good at hobbyist programming and being good at it as a job of any kind, but the closest approximation would be contracting. That's because as soon as it's something you have to do rather than something you just want to do, the entire dynamic changes.
>You might be well-intentioned and surrounded by people who you believe are well-intentioned, but not everyone is, and plenty of the people who talk and act as if they're well-intentioned will turn around and betray those purported intentions when you aren't paying attention.

Yeah I totally buy that.

>With regard to race-blindness in the 90s and 00s, consider that today's focus on race is a reaction to the willful ignorance of the decades prior. Race mattered just as much back then as it does now, it's just that the majority in the past had patted themselves on the back and convinced themselves that it was a solved problem if they just stop talking about it.

If we believe racial discrimination is the root cause of racial inequality, then "talk about race less" (as a way to treat people more equally, and reduce discrimination) seems like a reasonable hypothesis to test. So the thing about people patting themselves on the back seems perhaps overly cynical?

I'm also not convinced that what we're doing now is working better than what was done in the 90s and 00s. For example, this Gallup poll indicates that Black adults believe race relations with white people have gotten much worse since 2013: https://news.gallup.com/poll/1687/race-relations.aspx

And I've seen research indicating that corporate bias reduction trainings typically backfire. Apparently if you want your company to have more diverse leadership, one of the most effective ways to do that is to create an official mentorship program which randomly pairs off junior people and senior people without regard to race. It seems that a junior employee of color gets better mentorship if they are regarded as a "junior employee at our company" as opposed to "junior employee of color". The mentorship program just works to overcome activation energy and create relationships between junior and senior people which might otherwise not exist due to awkwardness. (This is all from Chapter 8 of the book Meltdown: Why Our Systems Fail and What We Can Do About It)

The output of the 90s and 00s era was Obama getting elected president in 2008 and serving two terms. By contrast, I do think you can make the argument that Trump is in some sense a product of the woke era.

Trump's popularity exploded around July 2015: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2...

But e.g. the number of NY Times articles on "whiteness" were on an exploding trend by 2014: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2019/06/th...

(The number of articles with those terms grows even faster after Trump becomes popular. I would postulate that the mechanism is something like this game I linked elsewhere in the thread https://ncase.itch.io/wbwwb )

Anyway, my impression from reading right-wing Twitter feeds is that supposed woke overreach is a major motivation for Trump supporters, playing into the backfire point I mentioned previously.

I'm sure there is room to improve on the 90s and 00s. But I remain skeptical of the politician's syllogism: "We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this."
