Have there not been studies that show that use of strong language in professional contexts is a successful of reducing work stress and increasing trust?

It's weird to make a list of words that are banned simply because they succintly convey honest strong emotions.

But some companies won't hire because of lower class accents (like what historically has occurred in the UK.), so it's not surprising that people have disqualifiers around language that signal status outside of the persons merit and work.

The policy seems arbitrary and in need of first principle justification, it seems like this word policing has an external agenda/root cause that is seperate from being passionate about solving a companies core problem.

It needs a proper defense in the face of research indicating it has a net positive impact.

If you have gas and heat running to your home you will have one if the other fails. We just had a 24 hour blackout at my house. The fact that we had gas allowed us to remain in the home with hot water, stove and heat without too much inconvenience. One day without that wouldn't have been terrible, but other people nearby lost their electricity for days, which would be very hard without gas.

I'm currently knee-deep in the enterprise world, and trust me, the point about selling into these orgs is very true. My team just spent the last year moving our client off a Salesforce Lightning-based solution onto our custom-built one. No one in the org could tell us why they chose to build it in Lightning, but everyone now says they love our solution.

The lessons you learn building a startup are good and always usable, but you need to be ready to learn what it's like to work in and with an enterprise, to figure out how to adapt and sell your product to them. It's an arduous process, but worthwhile.

I think that it is very likely that numerous civilizations have seeded the star systems of this galaxy and others with probes that sit and watch for interesting/threatening things.

The probes have arrived far before humans or even life existed on earth and have been waiting and watching ever since, with some of them possible reporting back to their creators on the state of earth while others still watching without yet sending a message because the state of earth hasn't reached some threshold.

As for if these signals have made it back to the probes' creators yet, I consider that unlikely due to the scale of the universe.

Hard to read past this. I don't want an authoritarian government that's committing genocide today and still lying about and covering up the reality of covid becoming too rich and powerful. That means I want to impoverish billions of people?

Why is China one of the only countries in the world (other I can think of is Israel) where criticizing their government is a racist attack against their entire population?

I've tried it. Don't do it.
There is not a clear line between syntax and semantics, even if you want to play Chomsky’s hermetic game, there are many cases where grammatical rules are influenced by the underlying semantics.

ChatGPT might well be able to ‘do the right thing’ based on statistics, i am not sure if it matters that it has world model internally but it is certainly lacking in that it can’t really take a text and break it down into a graph or database record of facts. I might want to scan 10 million news articles and find out about the issuance and non-issuance of parade permits and do queries on it and if I want the right answer I need a ‘world model’ for this domain and interpret text relative to it.

>These formats are consumed by humans, but they are definitely not native to us. To some degree written text isn't either, but it's much closer to speaking than any of these formats is.

Humans are wonderful things! We have so many means of expression outside of speaking. Have you ever heard those code audiobooks they tried to make for traveling engineers, or a python spelling bee? I'm sure there's something linguistic going on in written text that I don't fully understand.
does it have spellcheck? text-to-speech so you can have it read back to you? A browser window would have those things (on a mac, and I assume there's equivalents in windows)
That isn't centralization. That's the essence of federation. It's literally how Mastodon is intended to work.

And the whole point is that if you don't agree with how an instance is being run or moderated, you can migrate to a different instance or stand up your own.

Now, it is notable that a lot of the fediverse is concentrated in certain large instances (e.g. mastodon.social). Bu that kind of concentration is not itself an evil so long as people have the freedom to move around. Closed off, walled gardens are the problem.

The reasoning I've always understood is that the width of the tire is the primary thing that determines how it fits onto the wheel (assuming it's the correct diameter), and that different tires due to different tread block designs have subtly different heights, but in a way that is negligible, so aspect ratio allows you to have a standardized understanding of height without being so exact as to be confusing. E.g. a consumer knows that they need either a 245/40 or a 255/40 for their 9" wide wheel, and that in either case their speedometer would be correct (which is based on total height), but brand A and brand B at 245/40 have a .3" difference in height.

It does make things difficult for folks that slam their cars though when they don't want to rub, because there's less margin for error so they really need to measure the height of the tire.

When most people argue against prohibition, they're not saying that making the bad thing available is great. They're saying that we can't effectively reduce the availability of things that people want, so when we attempt to do so, we end up with all of the negative externalities associated with prohibition without any of the actual prohibiting

This happend on a highway. The Tesla switched lanes into oncoming traffic moving faster than itself. It immediately started braking for no reason. On top of this, it all happened in a tunnel entrance.

Yes, you should remember that vehicles can suddenly stop. This means keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, and looking beyond that vehicle to anticipate what is going to happen. However, a vehicle illegally throwing itself in front of you and doing basically an emergency stop because it just feels like it is not something a reasonable driver is expected to predict.

If you look at the video, you can see that the first vehicle is almost at a full stop when it hits the Tesla - its driver performed as expected. The second vehicle comes to a full stop before hitting the first one, so that's also going quite well. The third vehicle (a rather large truck) doesn't brake but instead swerves into the other lane, almost hitting another car. This dooms vehicle number four, which suddenly finds itself mere feet away from a stopped vehicle. Five through seven are tailgating and never see it coming for the same reason. Number eight is able to stop in time.

The speed limit here is 50mph. Assuming they were driving the speed limit, the typical stopping distance would be 174 feet. I can assure you, nobody keeps a distance of 174 feet between them and the car in front.

Three More Questions

If you live in the Bay Area and you think it's a widely useful tool, I'd say you're not doing as great a job reconciling your fear with the reality of things as you think you are.

I moved to SF from NYC, and it went from barely useful to the most useless thing I've ever seen.

Here Citizen shows extremely stale data and seems to truly struggle with surfacing widely relevant news, because widely relevant things rarely happen here.

You described finding out there was an armed suspect hiding out in your neighborhood, but there is no way on earth Citizen should be how you find that out: I had that happen in another city and it didn't take 5 minutes for the area to be swarmed with officers putting the area in lockdown by blocking all entrances and issuing warnings over loudspeaker.

Same deal with an armed stand off in a shopping center... you're telling me there was an armed standoff and an app was what was keeping people from entering? Or you mean an armed standoff happened where you weren't and Citizen went out of its way to ping you?

Citizen isn't fear mongering because raising crime issues is fear mongering. Citizen is fear mongering because:

> The people can't reconcile the reality of the world around them with their and irrational fears, that strikes me as a personal problem.

Yes. It is always a good idea to rotate them over different areas to give the land a chance to repopulate (and their excrement helps attract bugs in the meantime). A lot of people have a coop that has two doors on opposite sides to different runs for this purpose.
Older suburbs, yes. I grew up in a neighborhood with a total per-house footprint of less than 10K square feet. (That's the houses on their lots, plus sidewalks, streets, and alleys.) Parks & schools were in walking distance; ditto the "candy store" (a party store on a main road). Walking to the "big" grocery store would have been a bit over 1/2 mile, on little residential streets. Kids were free to roam the neighborhood and play all day, mom did not have a car, and that all worked fine.
The 7840HS is also designed for thin-and-light laptops, according to AMD, and it has 8 cores. It is a "35W" chip, but AMD says it is for ultrathins ("The Ultimate Ultrathin Processor"), and TDP is a relatively meaningless number these days.

That wccftech article is the only one I can find that lists a 7640U (not HS) processor. I think they combined some previous rumors with the actual announced specs by accident. I can't find any indication that the 7640U actually exists.

You get the benefit of hindsight, too. Picking some reasonable top 25 films from any previous decade to watch, starting with perhaps the 1930s, will tend to yield pretty damn good results.

Of course, it's also the case that an absolute shitload of good-to-great films do come out every year. Very few (but some!) of them get huge budgets and a big marketing push, but there are lots of them. Average quality may be low, but the volume's so high that there's still more good stuff coming out than I, personally, can keep up with.
They're only cost effective if you raise them cheaply, like free rotten pop up camper with plywood tacked on as a coop and letting them get a proportion of their calories from your yard that you also don't mow. And that's why they're not allowed everywhere "upscale".

>Drinking zero Alcohol actually decreases the likely hood of you living to a ripe old age.

There could also be confounding factors here, which is that people who drink no alcohol may have other factors in play. i.e. There might be a health-related reason they don't drink anything.

e.g. They may be people who are alcoholics that have ceased drinking. They may have drunk heavily in the years before, but being asked "How many units of alcohol do you drink in a week" they would answer 0.

They may be on (serious) medications or have medical conditions for which they are strongly recommended to not drink.

> The issue there is that in any "real" email host (ie not in your closet) you have no problem[1] emailing another host.

Spam filtering and intense host allowlists and denylists are just as bad in email. In many cases it is actually worse because the number of "real" email hosts has shrunken to a staggeringly small number (most of which are major corporations) in some situations and self-hosting can be quite fraught with hidden traps and accidental denylist penalties and an increasingly baroque maze of security standards like SPF and DKIM and… From that perspective Mastodon is currently far more open in federation than today's email.

As much as anything "email is open" and "Fediverse is subject to blocks" is a marketing problem more than anything. Email as an internet foundation tech has decades of accidental propaganda versus reality. Mastodon has a lot of loud critiques from people that either don't want it to survive or have some other political game they are playing.

> Likewise how federation works is also a bit obtuse. The speed of nodes federating to each other feels inconsistent on a UX, and imo you should basically _never_ miss pieces of a conversation. Or at least if you do, it should be very clear that there is a blocked comment, or a yet-to-be-synced comment, etc. Right not it can just look like someone is replying to themselves or etc.

This is rarely a "speed" thing and in email analogy terms much more a "BCC" problem. Your instance was not BCCed on the other content. I remember ages of email when mailing lists were far more plentiful when these sorts of "BCC issues" were quite common. If your mailing list wasn't BCCed on a reply but then the reply of the reply BCCs it, there's an obvious missing piece in the conversation.

Mastodon UX could absolutely improve, but in this case the instance generally has no idea there is a "yet-to-be-synced comment" because there isn't a "yet-to-be-synced comment", the instance never saw that comment because it wasn't BCCed on it in the first place. (Though yes, this analogy breaks down a small bit because some of the "mailing list" posts come from RSS-like feed syndication, but there also there's no easy way to "guess" what might be in a feed the instance hasn't synced.)

Also, some of these BCC issues are intentional, for the same sorts of privacy reasons BCC itself exists in email. Mastodon offers some privacy settings for how far messages travel and some users don't want to "BCC the world" with some of their posts. There's never going to be a "complete view" of many conversations because people want some privacy in their conversations and Mastodon allows that.

He never said it was a mistake. In acknowledging that hires were made on the basis of temporarily cheap money and a temporary opportunity, the CEO seems to be acknowledging that they never intended to maintain that level of staffing.

This is a common part of the boom-bust cycle of many corporate firms. They use cheap money and labor to reposition / grow / etc., then when the work is done and wages start increasing, they cut back on staffing and reap the profits of their new position with a skeleton crew.
