> Most people who get fat eventually end up not being able to live like normal adults. And no one willingly goes to get help or treatment.

This is where your analogy falls apart.

Most fat people are able to live like normal adults. They do not get fired from their jobs and lose their homes because they're camped out on the street eating McDonald's all day.

Many of them do willingly get help or treatment. There is a multi-billion dollar industry of helping people lose weight.

> Believe it or not but many Germans feel ashamed when being wealthy (or they do not speak about their wealth ever, keep it a secret).

Sounds like (1) Germany does enforce social norms through shame; and (2) you do care what people think enough to move to a society where people don’t shame you for trying to get rich.
I do that at home, but you still have annoyances, like Android forever warning you that you're impure because your cert hasn't been kissed by a real CA. Also, some random things are a real PITA to put your signed cert on, like Ubiquiti Unifi, where you have to mess around with the Java keystore.

I think the next sentence here contains important context:

> They missed flaws in how the research was done or whether it was pseudoscience masquerading as serious scholarship.

If I wanted to get a well-formatted and coherent (i.e. not prima facie false) paper into e.g. arXiv, I really only need to be endorsed by a qualified individual or get automatic endorsement via my affiliation with some institution. Laypeople do not understand just how low the barrier to entry here is, that unproven / poor quality / outright falsified research can easily make its way to preprint archives. Including a link to such research causes your comment to take the form of a well-researched, scientific argument without it necessarily being actual science.

So I don't think the only way to combat this is restricting access to research. One approach that immediately comes to mind would be to show a banner on early preprints, especially those that have zero authors eligible to be endorsers. Or just always show a banner for users that aren't logged in, reminding them that the content hasn't been peer reviewed. Who knows.
Is there any guarantee that there's a stable path for the duration of the traceroute packet series; FWIU, IP routes can change in the middle of a traceroute?

From "Gping – ping, but with a graph" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36549005 :

> Scapy has a 3d visualization of one traceroute sequence with vpython. In college, I remember modifying it to run multiple traceroutes and then overlaying all of the routes; and wondering whether a given route is even stable through a complete traceroute packet sequence. https://scapy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#tcp-tracer...

It's trivial to modify packet TTLs with e.g. iptables.

Is it a strawman? Isn’t that why we had the whole notion of being in the closet, to avoid shame to yourself and family?

I find it interesting that many of the comments here seem to view this as an anti JS article. To me a lot of these are going to be immensely useful tools in combination with the TS heavy frameworks we use for modern Enterprise App frontends, exactly because they are HTML native tools that aren’t going to require a bunch of stuff.

Like the meter tag, which I assume will replace every loading module we currently use in React when I get to work today because that is soooooooo much better than what we currently use.

But maybe I’m just misunderstanding people, or the article in some way. But to me this is very interesting even if your entire frontend is basically all TypeScript like many larger applications are today.

> So many societal problems would be solved if people had raised their kids to learn to feel shame. Trumpism, gun worship, climate change denial, post-truth mindset, anti-vaxx, treason, insurrection, racial hatred and discrimination,etc...

As you say, shame works very well. I'm baffled as to why you would assume that people who hold beliefs different from your own would raise their children without leaning upon the very effective "shaming" mechanism.

I'm also baffled as to why you would think that anyone would be ashamed of their beliefs when they were raised to believe those things. It appears that the left side of your argument isn't aware of what the right side just said.

Edit: In conclusion, your argument does not hold water. It assumes that your opponents do not think deeply upon contentious matters, and only you and yours do (and so, by your account, anyone who shares your beliefs should never feel shame, because they are simply correct). You are dismissing the beliefs of your opponents without bothering to look into the nuance of any single individual's personal stance, and instead painting half our population as extremists. You label all Republicans as "Trumpists" because they didn't vote for Biden. Give me a fucking break. Even the "Bidenists" aren't happy with Biden.

You are the one who should be ashamed, but you know all about that, right? Maybe you should take a break from trying to save everyone else, and talk to a therapist about your savior complex. You might discover that you need some saving yourself.

We dont need to all agree on what is shameful before agreeing that shamefulness exists. Sure there are differences of opinion but perhaps the worst conclusion to draw is that we shouldnt tolerate shame of anything because we fear shame of 1 specific thing.
Republican politics, in its current form, is a cult. It’s literally the only plausible explanation for Trump still being their front running presidential candidate.
You're going to handwave past contaminating literally the entire surface of the planet with some of the most difficult to remediate chemicals we've come up with to date, a multi-decade effort the bulk of which was conducted well after evidence that this shit caused any number of harms began to surface and the best you can come up with is "because capitalism"? If innovation truly isn't possible without these kinds of catastrophic outcomes what the fuck is even the point? Is society so utterly dependent upon the creation and maintenance of a handful of hyper-wealthy individuals that these outcomes should not only be expected but rewarded? Seriously?

Office equipment doesn't really have "transformers" anymore, everything uses switched-mode power supplies. The way they work, is that they have an output buffer (a capacitor or inductor) and rapidly turn a switch on and off to keep that output buffer at the right level: if the output buffer is below the target voltage, the switch closes and the voltage will start to rise. Once the output buffer rises above the target voltage, the switch opens and the voltage will drop as power is being used from the buffer. This happens thousands or even millions of times per second. This principle works exactly the same for modern AC/DC power supplies as it does for DC/DC ones.

The problem with your plan is Ohm's Law, and more specifically that fact that wires aren't perfect and have some resistance (for now!). Ohm's Law gives us V=I*R, where V is the voltage in volts (V), I is the current in ampere (A), and R is the resistance in Ohm (Ω). In a wire, the resistance is constant, and V is the voltage loss across the wire. So how do we reduce the loss? We reduce I. Luckily we only actually care about the total power, which is given by P=U*I. If we want the power to stay the same and reduce the current, we have to increase the voltage.

Let's say the two wires from our central transformer to the computer are 14-gage copper, and they are 100 feet long. Their resistance is about 0.5Ω combined. We want to power a 120W computer. If we transfer that at 12V (the normal voltage computers use internally), we'd have to transfer 120W/12V=10A. The voltage loss across our wires is 10A*0.5Ω = 5V! So we put in 12V, but get out only 7V as we burned 50W in the cable itself. To get out the desired 12V we'd have to put in 17V at 10A instead, or 170W to power a 120W computer. It would also mean supplying way too high of a voltage to a computer connected with a 3-foot cable.

If we increase the voltage across the wires to 120V and down-convert that to 12V at the computer we'd only need to conduct 1A and the wire loss would be 0.5V, which at 1A is a power loss of 0.5W. That's completely acceptable, and because the computer down-converts anyways we don't really have to care about it getting 119.5V instead of 120V either.

But now we are back with a power supply at each individual computer, so in the end we didn't really gain anything. Instead of an AC/DC power supply in every computer we now have a virtually identical DC/DC power supply, so what's the point? You might have some small gains by doing the initial AC/DC conversion centrally, but in practice it probably isn't enough to care. It is only really worth it when your power comes from DC anyways, like an office with rooftop solar.

Alternatively we can use way thicker cables, but to get that same 0.5W loss at 10A would mean a wire with a resistance of 0.005Ω. To illustrate, that means using two 0000 AWG wires in parallel.
It seems easy enough to start a Taxi business, so even if all had been driven out of business, new ones would quickly pop up if demand for taxis returned.
Stripe is no longer a suitable payment processor
Yes, I said it, Stripe is no longer a suitable payment processor unless you're a medium to huge sized company to which you have some weight in what you say. small business owners who clearly have good standing to which stripe has held funds, blocked and shutdown accounts (including my own) are all complaining.. there is a clear pattern here -> https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/stripe.co.uk?stars=1

What do you mean shame doesn’t work? America is a country that literally can’t reproduce itself without importing people from countries where mothers shame children for not having children in a timely manner. America had 100,000 people die of drug overdoses last year, whereas societies that shame people for drug use have far lower rates of overdoses. Middle eastern and south Asian countries that shame people for pre-marital sex largely managed to avoid the AIDS epidemic that gripped similarly poor countries in other regions.

And let’s not forget that we live in a country that became a world power under a social structure that was much more rigid and repressive than the one we have today. Our relative decline in economic importance is probably caused by other economic trends, but it’s pretty wild to say “shame doesn’t work” despite the evidence to the contrary.
If we can agree that you should feel shame when you do wrong the reasoning with people (and ourselves) about what is wrong and why can have an effect. Right now, because the lack of shame, all sorts if mental gymnastics and alternate realities are fabricated by people for appearances sake.

This happened because the marginal cost of supporting a user for many online products is low enough to be advertising- and data exhaust-supported, thanks to machine learning (which increases the revenue by better matching users with ads).

Young bored person tries some meth at a party because they're bored, young and invincible. They like it and do it again, a few times, and now they're hooked. They want more all the time. Due to constantly being high or looking to get high, they fail at work or flunk out of school. What happens next?

If that person is from a wealthy family, maybe their family pays to put them into rehab, or brings them back to live at home, or pays their rent. The wealthy family has the resources to support the addict in some way and usually manages to keep them off the street.

If that person is from a more common sort of working class family? They have less money available to them, so they'll start to steal. They'll steal from their family, who don't have much in the first place. They'll get in fights about it and alienate themselves from their family. The house is small so everybody in it has to live close to everybody else, the situation becomes intolerable and eventually the addict is kicked out and cut loose. The family can't afford to do otherwise. They tell the addict to get clean and wish them luck. He's now homeless and will probably be dead in a few years.

Most street users aren't using because they're on the street. They're on the street because they're using.

> and the same psychological glitches which are exploited in order to produce compliant citizens are also exploited by would-be cult leaders to control their unfortunate members.

That's only true in part.

Cults typically play on combinations of specific aspects of psychology, and generally a given cult will only "work" on certain people.

The same is true for parenting and education. Not all children can be effectively parented (or cultily-parented to take your view for a moment) by their specific parents, and certainly not all children can be indoctrinated, let alone educated as intended in a given environment.

Further, I think it's wise to add in these cases that a thing can be systematic and be explained in an organized manner to appear as if it's organized and systematic on purpose, and even designed by specific individuals, when none of that is actually the case. Otherwise we only-humans tend to start looking for someone to blame, effectively hallucinating.

And in many cases the problem you describe can be fixed without unraveling society and _already is being fixed automatically in many ways_. But that also requires going into lots of details to discuss; the generalities alone, while exciting or fear-inducing in isolation, tend to resolve down to too much hand-waving.

A lot of good people are out there working their @$$ses off helping people work together to improve society, bringing the best parts forward while leaving this unwanted stuff behind us.
