Well, the whole point of innovation is to question that "more-or-less works". Without that, we would still be hunter gatherers

And we won't be replacing anything overnight. That would be disastrous to the whole economy. But I really doubt that people who benefit from keeping things the way they are will actually work towards fixing any of them. You are actually asking them give up their incentives for the betterment and I don't think there are enough altruistic people who wanna do that.

Not that I am saying that crypto is any better but we need a strong counter party which questions fundamentals of any belief system (in this case, our current financial system) we have such that they will be forced to innovate otherwise they will go extinct
> I don't think preventing kids from accessing social media entirely is viable or reasonable.

One solution to this is to have a public computer in the house that the children can use. As they age and become more responsible you can give them more computing privacy. In the mean time you can kind of get an idea if they're developing bad habits and address it.

These wishful projections of benevolent intent are thoroughly unconvincing.

Do they accept mail-in payment like some vpn or email providers that are recommended on this site, and use a random string to connect that money to a payment plan? Because that would actually back up their intent with concrete action.

If not, there is no reason to trust their declarations of good deeds. And encouraging people to trust them because "they can make money by other means" is disingenous and ridiculous.
In a round about way, I think it does mean being able to live around humans, by being less violent, and well: dumber. Humans were also domesticated, killed each other less (if you can believe that), became even dumber (if you can believe that), and well: look at our population.

Here's basically the same article about bonobos,

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/tame-theory-did-b...

Being less aggressive, if I'm not reading things backwards, allows for a longer maturation time, and perhaps higher intelligence. Some domesticated animals show high intelligence, like bonobos and dogs. I wonder if the same idea applies to dolphins.
It’s not social media though; it’s the shit show they see through it.

That’s not going anywhere.

Exploitation of young agency to prop up value stores and ideals of elders is what awaits them away from the screen.

Setting themselves aside to clean up the toxic mess of dying generations awaits them.

This may come as a shock but I don’t feel an obligation to your existence specifically.

Look at the public dismiss public healthcare and demand the kids work just as we did; we censored TV coddling their sensibilities and office jobs to protect the hallucinated value of private corporations.

I feel as much obligation to the “American Civic Life” hallucination as I do a more traditional religion. ACL has just taken hold of the biology religion did; causing people to hallucinate I owe them recognizing some spoken meme like “this person has high net worth.”

That’s thought policing. Western society is a police state and it spends billions on hypernormalized messaging to insure it stays that way.

Not one person on this forum is an obligation to me. You’re all hallucinating authority.

Just like the parents you’re complaining about, you’re going to ignore the idea you have real obligation to yourself and society owes you nothing.

Vain coddled primate; do it my way! … No. You’re not a divine mandate. Grow that potato.

I agree with the folks saying that caramelized is poorly defined in popular cooking. What I think most recipes really mean is "sweat the onions until soft". What many people end up with is "dried-out onions that are burnt in spots". While caramelize is definitely a slow process that has several phases.

I think the real point is- there's a lot of stuff where people are stirring things in a pan on a stove. Try the toaster oven- it's much more set-and-forget, has better heat control, and if you're lucky, it has a fan that recirculates the air, which greatly improves the results.

Properly caramelized onions are more like fruit jam than anything else.
> Gone probably are the days of 400k TC PM's with a degree in communications.

As a PM, these days never existed. All of the high TC PMs are technical PMs, like myself, who have an engineering background. I was in Eng for more than a decade before I became a PM. MBAs turned PMs never commanded as high of compensation as technical PMs as ICs at any tech company. Technical PMs are in the same salary bands as Eng, non-technical PMs are generally 1 level or half step below in the bands.

There's way too many people that get their impression about what PMs do from "Day in the Life" TikTok videos made by non-technical associate PMs who are a couple years out of college and basically doing the easiest pieces of things.
> Silicon Valley Bank has detoothed a lot of criticism of the crypto industry

The problem with SVB was not the same as what we get with FTX and Binance. Let alone, the promise of crypto is to "be transparent", and this proves that they are not at all transparent.

SVB made bad bets, that we knew were made. SVB collapse was not a result of them lying about how they operate, it was a result of the risk they took.

FTX and Binance lied, which is not exactly what you want from someone who you should trust.

>> or perhaps even trying to convince themselves.

That leads me to a big, big tangent, completely unrelated to crypto. Recently I followed online discusions of a certain car model in comparison to well known alternatives and, no idea why actually, soccer clubs. And one thing I found funny, is to which length people go to, well, rationalize and defend their preferances. E.g. interior finish is just bad of model a compared to brand b, while obviously the fact that brand b can be had without leather interior is better because of animals suffering. Or model b is better because it can be had with a V6, while model a cannot, ignoring the fact that the majority of engines for model b are inline fours as well. That actually did sound a lot like convincing oneself that the preferance for model b is totally rational. You have similar vibes whem it comes to sport teams, it basically boils down to fanboyism.

Which is fine, which car or club people prefer doesn't have to be rational. It gets risky so, if that attitude is extended to finance.
> What are your specific concerns with the advice given in this warning?

Social media upturns traditional government controlled information transmission. E.g. the US government built its case for the Iraq War partly on fake information run by the NYT (by the currently media-respected journalist Judith Miller).

Control of information transmission by attempting to FUD alternative means is a way to consolidate opinions - a way to manufacture consent.

Just like in the intentionally deceptive mask comments from the NIAID, it isn't fact that's in question. It is motivation and intent, and the severity of the condition.

In the mask case, they misinformed the public on purpose so that they could perform some societal engineering.

You made a lot of comments here, and it is tradition on HN to downvote every comment if you dislike one in a thread so if I respond to them all, I'll get rate limited for being severely downvoted but since you asked for sources:

Response to your comment below:

> Are you claiming that public health authorities are seeking to “manufacture consent” broadly?

I am claiming (and have receipts for the claims) that public health professionals will provide advice that is damaging or risky in order to protect something else. They will intentionally mislead you so that some imagined total outcome is better. In the past, their attempt to do so resulted in personal harm or death for many (perhaps in the millions) because they're bad at managing the total outcome too.

Essentially, they're like a GPS system that intentionally routes you down a slower route so that you won't slow others down on the fast route. Except on matters of much greater import.

As always, don't forget to ask: "cui bono?"

Response again: Ultimately, I acted as I thought responsible through the pandemic. Which, for my age group, was rapidly not masking and aiming for low dose frequent exposure. So each time I did the opposite of what was recommended and never tested positive despite following a 2 week schedule since I was traveling and didn't want to get anyone else sick.

But a lot of people listened and died. So, it's up to you whom you'd rather follow: yourself, incentives aligned, or the guys who'd kill you and your loved ones to save others. I choose me.
> Speaking personally, playing on a pad controller uses a different part of my brain and body than using a keyboard and a mouse. When I create stuff with a keyboard and mouse, I am in "design mode", where I am thinking in a deliberate way, similar to programming. When I create stuff on a pad controller, I am in "express mode", where I am not really thinking at all.

This is the most important thing you said IMO. Maybe keyboard shortcuts and ninja mouse skills can get you into a flow state, "improvisation" mode, but chances are your composer brain will be in the lead.

> why did humans evolve to build huge civilizations and spent so much energy on technology, when others species haven't?

In a nutshell -- because humans invented agriculture, which led to ballooning human populations, and then the agriculture at scale required to sustain those populations required centralized laws and control (e.g. enforcing legal contracts around shared irrigation) which is a civilization. And agriculture is so valuable that civilizations use the economic surplus to invent weapons to invade other civilizations, so we jump from food tech to warfare tech.

But agriculture seems to be the main factor. Of course you can go further back and ask why humans invented agriculture where other animals haven't, and it's probably some combination of opposable thumbs and the social intelligence we developed to live in tribes etc. Elephants might have tremendous social intelligence but they don't seem to have the physical dexterity to hoe a field. (There might also be something about physical size, where elephants are too big, so they eat too much relative to what agriculture could produce through their physical output.)
Ableton could have made an app to run the Live engine controlled by the Push.

I used SELinux and AppArmor at work, and AppArmor for my own stuff. I found SELinux to be pretty unpleasant, but AppArmor rulesets / overrides not so bad. Definitely agree that there is a lot of room for improvement[1], but the tools exist, and if a person cares enough, can jail apps at least as securely as on any other platform.

[1] Other warts are not having syscall groups like openBSD pledge, so you have to track down new syscalls in each new kernel version to restrict using deny policies (which are more flexible than using explicit allow policies). And, linux capabilities are a mess that really deserves a do-over. You can get root with any of, at least, 6 capabilities. And, so much stuff is crammed into CAP_SYS_ADMIN and CAP_NET_ADMIN, that you effectively lose any granularity in selectively allowing privileged activities.
Thanks anyway.
Two most extreme stories I am most familiar with (did not experience first-hand) were of a PI throwing a chair in the direction of a postdoc, and of a PI having a screaming fit directly in the face of a graduate student. Both assistant profs.

One got tenure and became more mellow in a relative sense. The other was subsequently unable to attract any more graduate students to their lab, and left for another, slightly less prestigious institution.

I am also familiar with one case of graduate students resigning en masse, leaving a PI with a hollowed-out research group of 2-3 that they had to rebuild. Prof had a subsequent attitude adjustment.

In all these cases the stories spread pretty quickly and profs realized that there were costs to abusive behavior. These stories pre-date social media BTW.

Oh, I'm all for innovation here, I just don't see building the financial system back from the ground up as an effective way to innovate.

All the issues you've mentioned aren't issues core to our financial system, they can all be solved through iterative innovation - many countries are solving this, like Poland (which I use as an example cause I live here), which has free instantaneous cashless transactions both for payments and p2p use that work with all banks here (blik, slowly trying to expand to more countries).

Similar systems are in place in many other countries. Open banking standardized APIs have already spread across Europe, etc.

So tldr, no need to redesign the financial system to fix these, just disrupt it a little bit.

No we can't. I think the traditional and digital finance systems fundamentally work quite well. It's not all perfect, but it mostly works.
I get it, I agree with it, but I also grew up with unfettered access to the Internet during a period of time when the World Wide Web was growing and maturing and you saw a lot of stuff you shouldn’t have as a kid.

It seems like extreme helicoptering to restrict your children from things like this that are in the world and it’s an easy way out. Hey! All of a sudden you don’t have to parent. Some software can do it for you.

Agreed. The tour tracks are awful on 200cc. Even when you're not confused about what direction you're supposed to be going, it's constant smashing into walls. You can feel how the tracks were not designed around how the karts are tuned in Mario Kart 8.

Moreover, the scale is all out of wack. The tour tracks make you feel like you've shrunk.

The contrast with the new levels included in the packs is very strong.

Free NDAs forever is great! I run a B2B SaaS/licensing business, and this pricing strikes me as really high. But perhaps others see the value differently. I can see how it would be useful to constrain negotiations to the various bits that your contracts allow. But given how much contracts vary, and how larger orgs want to use their paper, it seems like this is an uphill climb. And if my biggest, most important contracts are outside of your system, that makes the overall utility much lower for me.

One question: how do you make sure that all of the different allowable options make sense together? For example, I see a governing law option. Can you only select from a few, pre-vetted options? What if someone selects a jurisdiction whose governing law isn’t compatible with other provisions in your contract (for example, termination terms or indemnification)? You wouldn’t want to give your customers the sense that they can play with terms like Lego blocks and be guaranteed that the result is something sensible, if this is not the case.
Waymo is a technology provider. Uber has lots of existing users and no ability to do autonomous driving. This way, Waymo gets to enter their cars in Uber's app and make a similar kind of revenue as a driver would. All Uber does is take their cut and supply passengers.

So Waymo doesn't have to duplicate all of what Uber already does, Uber users just order their ride as normally and maybe get a little cost benefit out of there not being a driver or a need to tip them, and Waymo gets to focus on the cars and the driving and rolling out in more cities.

I don't see how Waze or Google factor into this. Not really a competitor to Uber or taxis in general.
Almost certainly correct. The change was implemented because the firewall between domestic and foreign surveillance was highlighted as one of the unforced errors in the 9/11 attacks succeeding, but this was the anticipated consequence of it.

If you ask the average American whether they're comfortable with this tradeoff (added general scrutiny for added ability to prevent the next attempt at a 9/11), I don't know what they'd say.
WASM's runtime is far simpler than JS's, or even something like the JVM, particularly due to lack of garbage collection. The language was deliberately designed to be straightforward and efficient to JIT compile to a safe virtual machine, e.g. attention was paid to making sure bounds checking could be elided efficiently for constant offsets while being enabled elsewhere. It's also significantly simplified compared to assembly, and lacks functionality like arbitrary jumps that are common sources of vulnerabilities. It's pretty much ideal for the usecase of "I want to run pretty fast code on an untrusted machine" which is the main reason it's taking off.

(Obviously, as WASM JIT compilers get more elaborate and it incorporates things like GC'd references, some of the advantages of this design wrt simplicity will disappear, but I anticipate that these kinds of features will mostly not be used in settings like databases).

> I have friends who are doctors.....their work doesn't feel meaningful. They are constantly pressured to move from patient to patient like they are cattle.

Yep, doctors stopped being in charge of healthcare entities (hospitals, clinics) and now their work conditions suck. And not just during residency, any more.

> Friend is a pharmacist, she stands 12 hours a day. She he is forced to go in sick. She gets written up for being late.

If there's one thing that would be a shock to life-long programmers, it's how just one tiny step down the in-demand ladder (I'd write "social status", but we don't actually have any of note [doctors do, but fat lot of good that did them when the capitalists finally got ahold of them], rather, we're just in-demand) means operating under management conditions we'd find intolerable. No last-minute-notice skipping out for an hour to take your dog to the vet or whatever, certainly. That kind of shit's reserved for the top half of management, in most other environments.

> Many teachers hate their jobs, they are underpaid and have to deal with all kinds of good/shitty kids.

I don't think any teacher I know would advise anyone to become a teacher. Work environment is shit, the amount of time you get to spend on the part that's why anyone wants to do teaching keeps dropping, parents are jerks with too much time on their hands, admin's the most shockingly-stupid set of people with advanced degrees ever assembled (and a bad case of petty-dictator syndrome), pay & benefits have been slowly (or, recently, not-so-slowly) falling relative to the rest of the economy for at least a couple decades, and half the voters hate you for no good reason.
