I'm guessing you've gotten some downvotes for this probably because this is recognized as a pretty bizarre belief, and one most modern Mormons do not follow or aren't even aware of. Since Mormonism almost never repudiates the teachings of their past leadership, it merely stops reinforcing old and odd teachings, you'll always be able to find at least a few members who still know about and hold beliefs that the rest of the membership has either forgotten or have never been taught.

The particular belief in question here arises from modern LDS scripture (D&C 61) where God says to a group of early LDS missionaries that "there are many dangers upon the waters." These dangers are from Satan being given power over the waters as the world approaches Armageddon, and while faithful LDS missionaries will be preserved while traveling over any water (canal, lake, sea, etc) they're encouraged not to risk it if their faith is not strong enough.

This used to be a pretty common teaching from leadership, but in recent decades it's fallen out of fashion. Missionaries are still forbidden from going swimming at any point during their missions, but usually it's presented as a result of insurance dangers facing unsupervised 18 year olds (which, let's be honest, is an entirely reasonable and accurate concern).

For almost every weird or odd belief you've heard that at least some Mormons believe, there are usually a combination of scriptures and old leadership quotes behind it, but the modern teachings have left them behind with the hope that if these odd teachings are ignored they'll go away (which works out pretty well, for the most part).

From a business point of view, this depends on your competition. If there's a competing product that solves problems as well as yours, having fewer warts is a powerful competitive advantage.

From a craft point of view, they all matter a lot. We all want to make products that are actually good on every level, right?

But, as you say, you can't optimize for everything.
I think it makes sense as a local minimal during a process of iterative compromise. They arrived at 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' and shall stay there until changing conditions break this stability.
Exactly. It’s too easy for these decisions to become a formality. ProPublica’s reporting on Cigna[1] is a great example:

> Before health insurers reject claims for medical reasons, company doctors must review them, according to insurance laws

> A Cigna algorithm flags mismatches between diagnoses and what the company considers acceptable tests and procedures for those ailments

Sounds fine, except

> “We literally click and submit,” one former Cigna doctor said. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”

> How has it become better? AFAIK the number of genuine interactions on site has significantly decreased with platform exodus

Then that only means you were surrounded by your own small bubble. I had taken a hiatus from Twitter because I despised how the "algorithm" banned accounts that I was following earlier only because it was from the right of political spectrum in my Country (India). One of those accounts was an account that set right historical facts about Indian history which was distorted by leftist historians after India gained Independence. These new facts were cross verified and revealed to be true. So what did Twitter India decide to do? It banned the said account.

It was only after Elon took over, all those accounts were re-activated. So I have an opposite experience to you. Most of the accounts that I followed were banned by erstwhile regime have been now reinstated. So it is an opposite of an exodus for me.

Quite frankly, this is not just me in India who felt this. I am pretty sure it was widespread as Twitter was extremely left leaning in its ideology (from employees to the CEO). There was actual stifling of alternative viewpoints - though many on that side of the political spectrum will refuse to even acknowledge this.

Anyways I only brought this up to counter your point on there being some "platform exodus". There is only disgruntled developers who don't like Elon (especially after he openly said he would prefer voting Republican) and his centre-right leaning ideology and left the site. There is no "rational" reason for the hate.

Sorry to put it bluntly. I have always tried to be restricted in what I say lest I get "cancelled" by the woke mob (have been banned twice on HN itself for having contrary opinions). But at this point, I don't care anymore if people feel hurt by my ideological/political/social stances. I am tired of being censored every step of the way. By both Big Tech and Government. I respect your ideological point of view and I hope to get the same treatment back in return. At one point I identified with liberal causes, of being "for free speech" and not against it. Sadly, I find myself moving farther and farther away from what has now become of liberal ideology. It is no longer liberal in that old sense. It has turned fascist. And I can't stand that any more. I find myself on the right side of the aisle which ironically is "for free speech" while the liberal left, which was supposed to stand "for free speech" has adopted cancel culture and censorship as tools to counter opposing viewpoints. People who refuse to see this or accept this are just living in delusion.

Sorry for the rant.
Right, like how people unanimously supported Stadia because it was a Linux hedge against Microsoft's Windows cloud dominance.

They've extrapolated past experiences in the industry to understand what is likely to happen in the future. Microsoft buying large publishers won't mean some tidal wave of others wanting to push Linux instead, it would be a securing of Windows/Xbox. Microsoft would also likely pull their games from Steam, why bother when you own two publishing storefronts. There goes more games.

Valve is correct in hedging their bets against Microsoft because their entire ecosystem still relies on Windows continued tolerance (and incompetence) towards them. However studios and most publishers have zero reason to care, they go where the most users are and therefore wouldn't join some hypothetical hedge against Windows.
I know Facebook/Meta is huge and well established, but a 40 year bond seems like an eternity in the tech world. Is Meta that entrenched that people are this confident that they'll still be around in 40 years? Perhaps there's a lot more to their staying power and value than some web pages, apps, and VR hardware, but I'm not very aware of it.

I did note in an article a couple weeks ago that they participate in groups that commission undersea Internet cables. Those sorts of infrastructure investments seem to have more staying power to me than the other offerings.

I think I'm trying to state: "Aren't the bulk of Meta's offerings too susceptible to trends to garner the trust required for a 40 year bond?"
I feel like a general-purpose law of the form: "if you sell it, you must recycle it" would nip a lot of this crap in the bud. For instance: my local paint store will happily sell you barrel's-full of paint that is then well-nigh impossible for me to dispose of; same for gas, batteries, plastic bags, ...
Completely agree. When used properly and ethically in a democratic society, surveillance is an absolute net positive for society.

Its hard to figure out what is going to happen to facebook in the future. This is one of those few moments I'd like to be a non-US native to understand if Facebook is doing well/growing outside the US, or if its dying out. (I don't think Instagram is going to last too much longer, the quality has collapsed)
So he still doesn't accept his own responsibility? He may think that Google acted responsibly, but he published his research for others to replicate, paving the way for OpenAI and consorts. Why did he publish it? Vainglory. He didn't even need it for his career. And no, the model is not something somebody else would have come up with 6 months later.

The comparison to Oppenheimer at the end is so trite. First, it's a pop meme, not a serious comparison. Second, Oppenheimer did his work with a bloody World War raging. Third, Oppenheimer didn't publish the secrets of the Manhattan project.

Too little, too late. He, and others with him, should be ashamed of their lack of ethics.

PS I suppose the down-voting shows that a few are too entrenched.

GoPro had no real advantage in the drone world; they made/make a cheap, good-enough quality camera for a pretty selective use-case. As a layperson it would look significantly easier to catch up in the optics vs autonomous & semi-auto vehicle platform. GoPro's drone was never more than a toy.

When you're selling a toy to kids, those warnings about not to remove something from its container are useless.

In high school, I was in summer biology when some slacker took up a vial of mercury and started monkeying around with it. It did not take long for the cap to come off and we had a mercury spill in the middle of the classroom. And then my classmates began trying to scoop it up with their hands and scraps of paper!

As the son of a scientist who worked in Environmental Health and Safety, I immediately recognized this as a hazard and sort of recused myself from the whole scene. It was embarrassing.
Maybe they can't log into Twitter anymore

(Twitter's auth flow is entirely broken if you had SMS 2FA before the Musk takeover and pay-to-play. It won't let you log in with the only 2FA method you have, and redirects you to a form to reclaim a locked account after the failure which... requires you to be logged in).
Look at the current internet landscape- most users interact, find, and share content through the walled gardens of social networks. I don't think "decentralized open and free" networks are at all inevitable. To me those characteristics are shrinking, not growing.

I can't really tell if he's had a sincere change of heart about it. Certainly his screeds about how DL is the only path forward for AGI rang extremely hollow even 2 or 3 years ago. Those comments were clearly motivated by profit, considering his position in the field and all the companies vying for him at the time.
> If you actually "cared" for those people, you'd keep them on the payroll until they actually found "better job opportunities elsewhere."

Unfortunately, there are strong systemic forces working against this approach. This is why when executives say that the team/company are "like a family" they might mean it, but they can't actually exhibit the behaviours of a family when times get tough. Being too nice can risk the well-being of the overall company which could put everyone out of a job suddenly.

The answer society has come up with so far is funding and maintaining institutions that can run at a loss without going out of business. But this seems increasingly unpopular in some circles.
I would like to think that the well off would behave in a manner similar to how people in Germany who can't be bothered taking their bottles back for pfand do: They leave them beside the bin where people who want to can collect them and cash them in
By mainstream Christian standards, the doctrine is, quite frankly, "heretical", but members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the primary branch of "Mormonism") very much consider themselves Christian, have values that align strongly with many other Christian denominations, place Christ at the center of their doctrine, etc. In my opinion, culturally, we're a lot more Christian than the typical perception would suggest.

That being said, we've got our own offshoot groups that we don't consider "really Mormon", so I get where people are coming from on that question.
It's similar to how Google chose "Go" for their language despite the existence of another programming language named the same.

I wouldn't even say sometimes dilute shares - isn't this pretty much what happens every single time there is a new round of investing?

On the other hand, companies can use buybacks for the exact opposite effect.

Way back when I remember having having this kit which consisted of magnetic blocks that were variously switches, diodes, buzzers, etc. that you could snap together to build various types of circuits.

At one point I had something else that was closer to a breadboard (though it wasn't) but as I vaguely recall it had a lot more options but it was hard to actually build a working circuit.

I did briefly get into Heathkit after I graduated school at one point and built a power supply that I still use sometimes but it was pretty much the end of the Heathkit era at that point.
Maybe some lawyer can read the fine print that everyone agreed to.

Thanks for the offer. TBH, now that I'm older, I have come to realize that some super neat-o things don't really fit into my life and would be sadly neglected. I've contemplated creating a display case in my office of all the gadgets I've bought over the years that are in pristine condition.

Youngsters are probably not the best source for this info as they're too young to remember that 20 years ago "Mormon" was perfectly fine, and in fact a lot of Mormons called (and still call) themselves "Mormon." Some time back the leadership of the Church decided that Mormon was offensive for some reason and made it so.

But then "LDS" is now out of date as well! The leadership has decided that they don't want to be called "LDS" anymore. They even dumped the wonderfully succinct "lds.org" domain for "churchofjesuschrist.org."

Now they want you to use the full name of the Church (at least the first time referenced in the convo), which is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." So for example, if you want to refer to a person you would have previously called "Mormon" or "LDS," you should instead use "member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." There is a minor relief though. On subsequent references you can shorten it to "Church of Jesus Christ" or "the restored Church of Jesus Christ."[1]

Personally I like the (still silly long) acronym COJCOLDS. But realistically very few Mormons are going to offended if you call them "LDS."

It probably goes along the lines of:

"It is impossible to download and examine iOS's source code, which means that it is impossible to prove that iOS is not spyware. Any program which does not make its source code available is potential spyware."
