The difference being is that role of luck has been shown to be a factor in scientific studies [1]. And it is obvious to anybody capable of rational thought that this should be the case. People who are born into wealth have more opportunities in life than those who do not. A person who gets better education, better social connection, and more free time has the opportunity to self actualize. Meanwhile, a person born poor has none of these things.

The nature of attention-direction, the way it moves and such, be it a choice or otherwise, is indeed mysterious.

One phenomenon that you might consider is that when you direct your attention at one thing (be it a thought or whatatever) you become blind to other things. And this blindness is proportional to the intensity of the attention-directing.
This could be helpful for long Reddit posts on subs where there are product recommendations or reviews. I could see a utility where you summarize key takeaways on Yelp (what are the best dishes at this restaurant?), TripAdvisor (top complaints about this hotel with 800+ reviews), etc. Not sure if that makes sense, I am a marketer not an engineer :) - if you do this, let me know, I would definitely use it

Hi! I'm Souad a Full stack web developer, I'm an ex-outreachy (https://www.outreachy.org/) intern, I built a full new feature that enables creation of educational activities for an open source educational social network used by students and schools around the world, I used React.js , Material-UI, Formik and redux for the frontend work, django and django-rest-framework for backend.
I am very excited to join a new team and to tackle new challenges.
I felt like I learned something when I saw a list of average GRE scores by fields of study and social workers were at the absolute bottom, well below others.

While I'm sure that many have genuine compassion for others, this doesn't change the fact that many are literal morons who have been given incredible authority to interfere with the lives of others. What could possibly go wrong?
On this website more than others, you will find plenty of people who have dropped Google utterly. Not to mention their search engine is the poorest it has been in a decade. "Useful" isn't as accurate as "still left standing."
On the other hand, I am happy with EU environmental regulation because it's often stronger than that in my own country (Netherlands). It's a balance.

More transparency is indeed needed though.

I don't think OP referred to authoritarianism about children, but authoritarianism in general.

If you had tried to get over the wall you'd been shot and your family questioned. And they probably would have been suspects for the rest of their life.

I'm pretty sure you can find happy kids in North Korea too, it doesn't mean they're not living in an authoritarian society.
I feel like being socially adept and charismatic are different from being able to communicate clearly and effectively.

The former comes from intrinsic self-belief and acceptance, as well as genuine curiosity about the people you interact with.

Clear communication is more of a skill that you could learn from a book or guide. It depends on if you want to write or speak convincingly - writing structured arguments is definitely one way to clarify your thoughts and organize them in a logical way.
This guide from Animalz provides one great persuasive writing model: https://www.animalz.co/blog/bottom-line-up-front/
In terms of interacting with a team and leading different types of personalities, I like the business classic Five Dysfunctions of a Team: https://a.co/d/jc3UExI
Terrible advise. They obviously don't value him anymore.

Just find another job and give notice ASAP.
Delisting the old one when you have released the remake seems completely reasonable to me - they want people to buy the new one. A company isn't compelled to keep selling every product they ever made in perpetuity. If you want to buy most products you can buy the current version, you can't buy either the current version or any other version (your choice) from the past.

It IS the experience. Without the chat I would have checked out of the nonsense in a minute but the audience reacting to the endless non sequiturs truly made this an art.
It's from PSD2.

Yes everyone has suppliers but in a marketplace the seller is not a supplier of the platform. They are a supplier of the buyer. The marketplace is only facilitating the transaction.
Raising concerns with your manager is table stakes. Always try to work with the company before assuming that they are acting out of malice.

That said, given the circumstances I believe it would be very wise to also proactively pursue different jobs in this case. If nothing else, it will open the OP’s eyes to the fact that jobs are a market and you have far more options than just staying with one company and hoping for the best.

The concerning part is the personal friendship the manager has with the new coworker. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the way the OP has described the situation suggests that there is an in-group and an out-group, and the OP is very clearly not part of the in-group. A different team or company where people are viewed on more equal relationship footings would be a better fit for someone like the OP who is unsure about navigating company dynamics.
It's still hard. I couldn't go out and make a gun right now. Meanwhile, many children have invented their own codes and ciphers by age 10, armed only with paper and pencil and the desire to keep a secret. A basic understanding of group theory lets you invent RSA, a practically-unbreakable asymmetric cryptographic scheme, given only the idea that "hey, maybe asymmetric encryption is possible" and the knowledge that (F_p \ {0}, ×) is a group.

The eternal update game does not always reward you.

F.ex. Maven and Gradle and not necessarily better than Ant.

Older things are often stabler unless they are over-engineered.

Spring Boot is however completely meaningless in the first place.
Also being free let the developers work on whatever they wanted to rather than the "I paid for this and this bug happened therefore I'm going to yell about it on the internet".

I work in enterprise software, the pressures from paying customers are immense. Sales loves to short circuit processes to get new features in front of the line. Large customers love to short circuit the process. Eventually your processes become customer driven rather than creation driven. And that's fine if you want to make money, but it ain't great if you want to create.
If I'm at work and stuck on a problem I can hardly afford to wait around for a few days to be unblocked by a lucky forum answer.
The question wasn't whether people can be stopped from doing it, because for the most part they can't be, but whether it's moral. Or at least different in a moral sense from merely imagining someone else doing those actions.

And yes, photoshopping your crush's face onto a naked body is just as unethical and immoral, even if done in the privacy of your own home, for the same reasons I mentioned above.

Compared to deep fakes, however, it has a much higher effort, lower reward, and less realism, which acts as its own inhibitor. Deep fake generators are becoming trivial to use, and not just for one or two pictures but for as many videos as you'd want. That's going to result in a very different driver of obsession.

Demanding that court order can work out extremely poorly for you.
And yet that's exactly the state we are really in regardless of all declaration stating otherwise.
What is your claim about Club 33? As far as I know, it’s a kind of cool elite thing for people with money to burn (I had the opportunity to have lunch there once in the 80s—I kind of wonder whether the tourist couple they turned away when our group checked in were cast members whose role was to help enhance the exclusive factor), but beyond being something that’s exclusive for rich people, what’s the harm you see with it?
You and the parent are touching on the key difference. The neighborhood was a community who knew each other and looked out for each other. In the US this dichotomy is exceptionally rare, so a young child walking alone is truly among strangers. I am not saying that kids shouldn't have freedom to roam but it's different.

America lacks community in many places. I don't know if it's uniquely American, but it's very common. Neighbors don't know neighbors, the shop owner doesn't know who kid's parents are.
This is in my opinion is the primary reason why kids aren't allowed out alone.
Examples is not the same as proportionally larger. I can find instances of things sliding up hill, but it's not the phenomenon I would expect if I were guessing blind.

Can you elaborate on what you mean? I not certain, but I don’t think any U.S. police are legally allowed to demand well-being without a safety concern. What laws require well-being, and justify police threats?

Why do you think they might not have been doing this capriciously in this specific case? The department admitted the stop was over-reach, even before the parents found out the officers had called child proctective services on the parents over walking outside. Is that demonstrating a reasonable concern for well-being? I surely want to have the right to let my kids walk around outside, and I believe that there is no U.S. law that limit this right, nor should there be one.
Is any of this open source? Are you looking for contributors?
Just looking at the headline, I thought the article was going to be about a different kind of quack: "expert" witnesses that champion theories such as "killology", which are pretty convenient for police.
Nice; back in the day "grey" was Win95 and the new thing all the themes look like Win95.

It would be interesting to see the start menu etc but in a more native Windows 3.1 style.
With better games than Minecraft? Not many. Not many at all.

Any game that isn't a building game is immediately disqualified from consideration, since most games focus on you consuming level content made by others instead of expressing your own creativity, and no such game can be considered better than Minecraft. And Minecraft is simply the best building game out there, I'm open to suggestions but I've seen and played a lot of building / digital lego games and none of the rest can hold a candle to Minecraft balance of streamlined simplicity and creative versatility.

If you're looking for a game that is specifically about building and sailing battleships, or cars, or rockets, or cities, then there are better games than Minecraft. But minecraft is more generalist, you can build anything from cute cottages to digital computers in minecraft, it has the broadest general appeal of any building game I've ever heard of.

It was pretty obvious to me from the start, from the beta days in 2010 anyway, that Minecraft would be a massive success. Even in that early state all the elements were there to make it massively successful. And compared to other digital lego games at that time, it was hands down the best there was. I've seen Infiniminer, don't try to tell me that it was pure luck that Minecraft succeeded where Infiniminer languished in obscurity.
Oh, I've tried the portrait-orientation template, it left everyone around confused.

> But that's the thing: dereferencing an invalid pointer is undefined behaviour, which means the compiler is allowed to assume it never happens

It would be more helpful for the compiler to assume that it does not know what will happen. This is how C actually worked for many years.

> a C program executing undefined behaviour is _invalid C_.

That was not formerly the case, and it is not always helpful to redefine C in this way. Sometimes you really are not trying to write portable code, and you really do want the behavior you know that the target machine will give you, even if the C spec doesn't require it.
“Threats to the dollar” are just scare stories
Practically speaking there is no effective recourse. For things to change, need USSC to remove the qualified immunity doctrine which USSC basically created on their own in 1970s. State law could put in a few fixes, but generally few people are really interested.

A couple years ago BLM had energy yet was distracted and diverted from the enabling problem - USSC qualified immunity.
I've always wondered behind the rationale on privacy being a human right. What if it wasn't? What if instead we were enforcing transparency? Force everything to be public, starting from the government down to the local coffee shop. All transactions, all communications, everything. Make privacy a crime for everybody, including the government and the military. Just as a thought exercise, it would be a remarkably different world. I think the problem privacy is solving enables a different set of problems to emerge that would have otherwise been impossible. And one could argue that these new problems are those that enable the necessity for privacy to be established as a human right in the first place.

> We certainly need decentralized systems that cannot be controlled by EU, US, or any government/entity.

No, not really. A World with controlled controllers is better than a world without any control. See the awful space which is the crypto community ATM. EU and US so far are fair and tame (to their own citizen). They are not always good, but not bad. And that's fair enough for any decent citizen.

Though, part of this deal is that we take control on when they go too far, and do stupid things. Which seems to be the case in this case, because of which we push against it, because that's how we hope to get a healthy world.

> Privacy is a human right.

So is security. It's all about balancing interests and abilities.

> whereas the real motivation is to control people's freedom of speech and communication even though they will 100% deny it.

That smells like QAnon-level of conspiracy BS.

> Anyone who is really into something illegal will use something alternative anyway.

No, they are not. The majority of criminals are not some organized super villains. They are usually also depending on the same tools and networks as everyone else. And they are also just flawed humans, making errors.

"They told us that it wasn't safe for kids to walk down the street, that there are registered sex offenders all over town that could take them, that drug dealers were going to give them drugs, and that it was 'a different world now,'"

Until we're no longer bound to the availability of physical resources, we need some way to manage it. Citizenship addresses that, even if it doesn't do that perfectly.
Every time I read something about the United States, I am so happy to have been born on the other side of the Atlantic ocean.
An ambivalent counter point. When I was growing up, I walked to school. Elementary school was just ten minutes away walking. There was a park also within ten minutes from our house and I was allowed to go alone even at the age of six.

I am totally for this. I don't like the idea of restricting children, I think it inhibits growth.

Still, I had my near miss, and I know others of my age that had near misses too. I walked to park alone after school. I got tired of swinging on the swing set and went to sit on the park bench. Soon a man came and sat right next to me. I was uncomfortable, I slid down the park bench away from him. He soon slid right next to me again, his leg and torso against mine. I remember him being warm and sweaty and I thought him weird. I got up and went back to the swings and from the swing set stared at him. He eventually got up and left.

As an adult, I'm fairly freaked out by what could have been a bad experience. I don't condone arresting parents that give their children free reign. I do understand the perspective just a little bit.
Tangent here. I grew up in Greece. Policing, but the culture of government in general is don't sweat the little things, but you better get the important stuff right.

I went to a hospital and the building looked in rough shape not really clean. The examination room had a leak in the corner. But you bet the doc knew what she was doing, was thorough and sterilized everything. It's not pretty, but gets the job done.

In the 2000s we used to pirate like there was no tomorrow. But cp is taken seriously.
I agree with all of this except 1:1s; they are a natural part of healthy management.

If you don't have regular 1:1 with your direct manager, and if managers don't have regular 1:1s with all their direct reports, your company doesn't know how to manage. It's table stakes for competent management, at all levels except perhaps C-level to C-level.
Regardless of Eastern bloc vs West, or anywhere else, I think the biggest issue might simply be era.

Parents in the States were much more permissive in the 80s, and to a certain extent the 90s. That started to change in the 2000s, with far greater "helicopter parenting."

So are these descriptions of idyllic life in ex-Yugoslavia five years ago, or twenty?

I grew up in central Europe in the 80s and was given plenty of freedom, but I don't know whether kids there have the same amount as before, or if it has been changed like in the US.
I think the legal penalties for being negligent towards children stem from rich people making up laws as a response to narratives about rare occurences that take places in environments lawmakers have 0 experience with (low-income neighbourhoods). They feel as though less children would be harmed if they always had an adult present with them, which is feels like a solid assertion if you have the means to provide adult supervision at all times, ignoring the alternative costs of letting children experience independence and completely misunderstanding the every day reality of low-income parents.
Can't they atleast push for expunging of the records? No charges were pressed; if the state wants to dispute that, they are opening the gate for a lawsuit.
> This entirely sidesteps the issue, which is that if you employ a compatibilist notion of free will (in other words: a "free" will that is merely an illusion of agency), then you have no actual agency, and so assigning you moral responsibility for the actions taken is fundamentally unjust and in itself wildly immoral: You had no actual control of the choice taken.

Except that's irrelevant. The fact that a murderer had no "ultimate" control over becoming who he is, is irrelevant to the fact hat he felt justified in committing the murder, and the entity that feels justified in murdering has made an unethical choice, and so that entity requires correction. This is the inescapable question free will addresses: who is responsible for a choice?

And this addresses your claim here:

> This entirely sidesteps the issue, which is that if you employ a compatibilist notion of free will (in other words: a "free" will that is merely an illusion of agency)

So this is not an "illusion of agency", this is exactly the kind of agency people care about: if your thoughts and feelings counterfactually determined your choice free of coercion, and if that choice was wrong, your thoughts and feelings require correction via feedback, which is holding you morally responsible.

> I'd also strongly content that you're wrong, and that if you actually dig into peoples beliefs about free will deeply enough to ensure they understand what you're suggesting, you will find most people get annoyed, agitated or outright angry at even the notion that they don't imbue outcomes with some magical fairy-dust agency they can't define.

You can contend strongly all you like, I cited empirical evidence that was part of a series of studies undertaken over years which tested to see whether people have Compatibilist and incompatibilist intuitions. People agreed strongly with Compatibilism after it was properly explained to them, which is the opposite of what you claim.

> The exceedingly rare compatibilists I come across tends to be a small subset of the exceedingly few people who read philosophy papers.

Well then you're in for a shock, not only from the paper I linked above, but also because a comfortable majority of philosophers who actually read and write philosophy papers for a living are Compatibilists:

https://philpapers.org/surveys/results.pl

EDIT for your edit:

> I'd love to see a survey ask people if they think a purely deterministic process, e.g. a suitable program running on a computer, can ever be said to have free will. If people say "no" to that, they are rejecting a compatibilist definition of free will.

We already know the answer to this: anthropomorphization is a near universal cognitive bias, by which humans assume a mind behind phenomena, particularly phenomena that exhibits complex behvaiour. This is why people are polite when conversing with chatbots like ChatGPT.

If there's a mind that's responsive to moral feedback as I described above, then it makes perfect sense to hold it responsible, and I am 99.9999% certain this is how most people would treat this question.
