> > 2. Employers are overwhelmed with large numbers of applicants, most of whom don't meet the requested minimum requirements.

> Because many/most employers are willing to hire people who don't meet the minimum requirements. Or rather, they are sloppy when they made the job posting. Therefore, applicants who actually honor the minimum requirements are at a disadvantage.

Seriously—treat "requirements" as "a wishlist" is basically job hunting 101—because it works. Sucks for the employers who really, super-duper mean it when they write "requirements", but that's not most of them.

> 5. Write in reasonable detail about the interview process. Will it involve Leetcode style questions? Etc.

I swear to god, some companies protect this stuff like it's a state secret. I promise you that making details of your process public, or at least sharing them with applicants on first contact, won't ruin it. If FAANG can practically provide a study guide and get by, I'm pretty sure Jim Bob's House of Software or Boring Business Bank Incorporated isn't going to be ruined by providing a schedule and some guidance on the kind, difficulty, and broad domain of any technical assessments that will be performed. Meanwhile, leaving candidates with no clue what to expect when the real-world range of what happens in these interviews is unreasonably enormous, is simply shitty.
I've always wondered why there's no black-majority country that's prosperous...it's always the same story of corruption, incompetence, and/or infighting.

We should probably note here that there's been exactly one sterilizing event in the entire history of life, and that was the formation of the moon. So even if we go, something else will survive. Even the end-Permian left survivors!

More importantly, everyone had access to calculators, spreadsheets, design tools, etc. And AI will be the same. The differentiating factor is still human.
I'm not convinced how any of this shows causation. Probably the strongest point in this substack pointing to causation is the use of longitudinal studies. Haidt is using a meta-analysis of long-term specific (as opposed to short term studies which display no effect, there's merit here as a longer longitudinal study is probably better) longitudinal studies to make this point, so essentially saying that a meta-analysis of long-term longitudinal studies is required to show that causation can be established; this is all indirect. I still think that to prove this point we need to make an experiment that actually attempts to show causation.

I'm also not sure if it's worth discussing this on HN because this topic tends to attract commenters of one opinion, but I also think it's worth making opposition known. I fully expect this opinion to be unpopular.

EDIT: Indeed, doing a shallow dive into the referenced longitudinal study links shows that none of them establish any form of control. One of the studies linked's abstract (I don't have access to the full paper) has an intervention model but doesn't split the initial cohort in order to establish the causal effect.

N.B. I am aware that in social science it's hard to find large enough cohort sizes to establish effects and that splitting a cohort to establish causality could destroy the statistical power of the study altogether.
This is a relatively neutral effect because I also have more choices of employers as a result. It's just a merging of labor markets. If anything, remote work is a net positive for everyone involved (and actually, everyone): less wasted time, money and emissions, fewer reasons for everyone to be living all bunched up in expensive cities.
Agree 100%. This is what stifles innovation and kills companies, people moving into positions where they make more than they ever have before and their goal is look good to financial stakeholders and maintain their position as long as possible. Although difficult for other reasons, I think I prefer working with true visionaries.
Possibly. I mean, you'd have people here who would be "The 20th century wants its job application processes back." On the other hand, I also see people pop up here saying they've applied to 500 jobs online which seems like an almost unfathomable level of shotgunning applications.

I won't say that the profit mechanism is responsible for all or our problems, but in modern society it can surely account for at least 80% of them.

I believe it's possible to retain autonomous production (ie, to not have a command economy) while using different mechanisms than profit to organize production.

That said, if you're saying "Facebook does evil things because the system incentivizes them to" then maybe the conclusion should be that we change the system, no? And whether the idea is popular or not seems irrelevant, given your admission that it's the root cause. Popularity also might be subject to change given the overall circumstances.

The reality of it is that social media, and our use of technology in general, isn't actually governed by any value system. Be it truth, human flourishing, welfare, health, what have you. We're completely on autopilot and are conditioned to accept all of it as inevitable.

If we had an actual telos to our use of technology work like this by Haidt would be in the evening news and it'd inform decisions at every level. From parents keeping their kids away from harmful social media, to communities and institutions refusing to use these platforms for anything, to governments regulating the worst aspects of it.

We're terminally screwed if the trend of letting technology (and profit maximizing firms) control design of social media rather than the other way around.
I live in one of the darkest locations in the USA. We are nearly tied with some places out west in the desert. Still have not gotten over the night sky.

Would you have said this about Nixon and Thatcher, too? I certainly remember the "Nixon was good actually and the people who criticize him on his deathbed are ghouls" brigade, too, as they were rushing out media products based on how wonderful and wise Nixon was.

No, they just have to claim that they believe it. It's not like the judge can read their mind and prove they're lying. Another example of how, although small-scale corruption is rare in the US government (i.e. we don't have a culture where it's normal for ordinary folks to bribe cops or other officials), we have plenty of large-scale corruption baked right into the system. For further information, I refer you to the works of Messrs. E, Ren, and Cube, and Dr. Dre.

I am really doubtful. Everyone forgets that suicide and mental health issues are up the most for boomers, and they use social media the least as a cohort (yes, they use it less, even with FB boomer memes).

I'm at -3 right now but look at the data yourself: https://afsp.org/suicide-statistics/, scroll down to suicide rates by age range.

And yes I think suicide deaths is the best measure of mental illness since it has the most life impact and is the least prone to measurement/diagnosis error and changes,

The proper word here would be "archaic" - it's a correct claim per se, but they're using a definition of "democracy" that was the prevailing one at the time the US constitution was written.
There are and have been more enlightened places on earth where rules are in place that limit the abuse of strength, but rule by strength & violence has been the norm for all of human history.

Note that even in more enlightened places, the ultimate tool for enforcement and coercion is still strength, and the state has a monopoly on the use of this.

I am completely convinced that international violence does not now, nor has it ever, caused much depression in US-based 12-year-old girls. Further, I find the notion that it is was an increasing trend from 2010 to 2022 compared with 2001 to 2010 is maximally revisionist.

Same for political polarization (sidebar: the notion that political polarization is an "other...factor" outside of social media seems poorly considered.)
OK let's work through the claims.

1. The vaccines cause cells to take up the mRNA and express the spike on their surface. This is uncontroversial and covered in any detailed enough intro to how the vaccines work, see the diagram here for an example:

https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/Understand...

2. This results in the cells being destroyed. This is exactly what you'd expect if you've sat through teen-level biology classes: T cells (CD8+) identify other cells that appear to be expressing antigens and destroy them. Bioscience people hate admitting this in plain English, so finding papers stating it clearly is a complete pain in the ass. They normally only talk about "stimulating a cellular response". But this page does at least partly spell it out:

https://www.pri-med.com/blog/2020/the-new-mrna-vaccine-expla...

> In contrast to the older vaccine models, the Moderna and Pfizer research shows that the new mRNA vaccines produce powerful helper and cytotoxic T cell responses

Cytotoxic means "kills cells".

3. If they got into the heart, they'd destroy heart cells. Here's a case study series paper that looks at heart damage caused by vaccines:

https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/23/13/6940/html?s=09

> Importantly, infectious causes have been excluded in all patients. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein has been detected sparsely on cardiomyocytes of nine patients, and differential analysis of inflammatory markers such as CD4+ and CD8+ T cells suggests that the inflammatory response triggered by the vaccine may be of autoimmunological origin.

i.e. the heart sac becomes inflamed because the immune system attacks it, and the immune system attacks it because of the vaccine.

> edit: Also please elaborate on how I identify the “right” blogs.

They tend to cross-link to each other a lot. Start from the Alex Berenson archives, El Gato Malo, Igor Chudov, Daily Sceptic. None are perfect but they are well network and try to build arguments based on published papers and primary evidence. If you don't like them, branch out from there. Also look on HN with showdead turned on. Many inconvenient stories about the vaccines get flagkilled.

> “people that have studied this professionally are categorically untrustworthy” seems a bit like some uh, less than germane bullshit, to be frank.

Sure, and I guess Google employees are the world's experts on ads and privacy so if they say something about those topics you couldn't possibly disagree right? Also, oil companies are the world's expert in energy, so we should do whatever they say, and so on and so forth.

Hate to break it to you but yes, people who have studied these topics professionally are categorically untrustworthy. If they say or do anything that might reduce people's willingness to take vaccines they get fired and sometimes blacklisted from their entire profession, ending their careers overnight. Any attempt to speak out is systematically suppressed by the media who have all complicit in pressuring people to take the vaccines too. No surprise that the only people who can actually talk honestly are the ones who aren't already fully committed.
Authoritarian governments are similar to economic bubbles (balloons). They push out everything better and then leave a mess when they collapse.

Pretty much everything on GPs list was a problem during apartheid era as well, or caused by it.
I keep saying it every time and there are no good faith arguments to not do it, what we need is:

- Make social media illegal to underage kids, just like tobacco or alcohol

- Enforcement through ID verification of every user (would solve the bot problem as well)

- Jail terms for executives of social media companies who fail to enforce these rules and protect children from harmful content
If you think of the police as the executive arm of the judiciary, then you can understand why they would want to give them immunity from accountability for their actions. The courts have ruled that the police are no responsibility to protect the public which only leaves their ability to enforce some laws as their responsibility.

Qualified immunity dates back about 60 years as far as I can tell and is a complete creation solely of the courts.
You've hit on the conundrum. Damned if you do join the social network (for the known reasons) and damned if you don't (isolation from friends).

Until a major of parents remove access, this will always be the problem.

Btw, I had the same issue with games and my son. I could not let him play, but then he wouldn't have had access to the sole socialization his peer group had. Both decisions were bad, but one was worse. Letting him play video games was the least bad choice. Interestingly, we've had discussions about this, now that he's an adult and (I believe) he agrees with this analysis.

Something no one has mentioned is there are companies "looking for a bargain"/"diamond in the rough" when hiring.

It doesn't normally come up because many people who respond on HN tend to be elite, and those companies don't even make their radar.

While I wouldn't want to do so too, it should at least be possible to have an option to ignore the AirTags from family members travelling with you.
>Carter was honest

>Carter wanted to help people

He drafted mujahideen , gave them antique weapons, and hoped that both sides would extinguish each other in order to reduce deaths 'at home'.

Someone can say 'Well drastic times call for drastic measures..', but personally I wouldn't refer to anyone that participated in such things as 'honest'.

.. now that I think about it, I wouldn't really refer to any previous US president as 'honest' ; it's an incompatible trait with the job.
I think no-one is counting it because it's such a tiny number that it's ridiculous to even care about.

Teen suicides rose slower than every other cohort and had a lower base. https://afsp.org/suicide-statistics/
And probably we also deserve it a lot more than them.
White South Africans definitely. Black South Africans I don't know. Some of them could be better off financially but it's a heck of a thing to be treated as if you are a lesser being because of the color of your skin. I guess the answer is yes in regards to the economy, health (maybe, not sure sure on this) , government corruption and a couple other things but no on just the simple act of being treated like a human. Apartheid had to go but just throwing power into the mob was not a good way to do it. I don't have an answer as far as what would have been a better solution.

I left South Africa as a young teen during the collapse of Apartheid. We had a black maid / nanny who lived on our property in housing my parents provided for years. She did a lot of the work raising us as my parents were always at work. She had a daughter a couple years older than me. Years later my mom wrote her a letter to see how she was doing. She was completely destitute begging for money. Her daughter has multiple kids and was hiv positive. Really rough.

I really don't know what the right approach would have been. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback.
anyone that thinks humans will be around in even a million years time is, imho, delusional. we were not there up until now in that timespan, and won't be after it.

I was primarily struck by the awesomeness of this whole autonomous glucose regulation thing. My last meal is usually around 18:30 in the evening and during the night glucose would fluctuate around 4.5 mmol/l between 4.0 and 5.0 in 1 hour periods, like a crappy PID controller that needs a firmware update. Other nights it would be flat instead of fluctuating, but unfortunately two weeks were too short for a controlled experiment, meal repeats and figuring out what caused the difference.
Some nights it would show a couple of hypo's where glucose would drop to 3.5, quickly to be countered by an increase. I didn't notice a thing.

Additionally every morning before my alarm went off, I could see my glucose increasing, most likely preparing for wakeup, all by itself. Amazing!

It gave me a new-found respect for these otherwise invisible processes happening in this fleshy vessel on autopilot with closed cockpit doors. I only got to peek through a small window during 2 weeks.
> I think the op was in good faith appealing to the notion of pristine nature

I don't. It's by now clear they don't think they were doing that either. But your assumption colored your entire reply as a response to an argument that no one was making.
They're actually great for preparing black swan events. Taleb talks about them in "The Black Swan".

Usually the rules of the game aren't as clearly stated as in this problem. Sometimes there is a literal coupon contest, or a node randomly pairs with another node. But usually you're looking at history to try to to understand the odds and then forecast some futures. The problem with doing that with statistics is it's not very receptive to "fiddling", even if it's Bayesian. With a simulation it's generally easier to throw something weird in there, like an effect orders of magnitude larger, dynamic effects, or a totally new rule.
