Maybe. Or maybe it's luck. People are particularly bad at assessing which when it comes to their own history.

Or you need someone with something else that's correlated with them. Or what you need isn't really related to them at all.

Right. Once you've made the leap into the good jobs it's easy to stay there (and if you went to the right schools then it's easy to get the first good job, and if you're born to the right family then it's easy to get into the right schools). The trouble is getting there at all.

That's not true. "Ruffed grouse populations rise and fall at intervals of about 10 years. Many other species of wildlife such as snowshoe hares also cycle at 10-year intervals." https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/birds/ruffedgrouse.html

These animals have been cycling this way for as long as people have been checking, and presumably before that as well.
This just shows how statistics can mislead. I own a Tesla with FSD and it's extremely unsafe for city driving. Just to quantify, I'd say at its absolute best, about 1 in 8 left turns result in a dangerous error that requires me to retake control of the car. There is no way it even comes close to approaching the safety of a human driver.
True, although that's just an "allegation".

Cultural stigma against mental health issues is extremely ubiquitous outside the US

This causes mental health issues to go unaddressed, but, ironically, it also helps in a way, because peer pressure certainly helps reinforce individual discipline to develop techniques to keep it together. Peer pressure is a very powerful motivator.

For example fat shaming is certainly bullying but it's also certainly effective at discouraging overeating
Canada has very liberal immigration policies for tech workers compared to the US, so the same folks that arrive on H1B to the US go to Canada instead from their home countries and are hired there by US companies. No super long green card queue, and citizenship only takes 3 years after getting a green card instead of 5. Microsoft started a large Vancouver office right across the border. For team cohesion in large teams they're more likely to hire additional folks there rather than in the US. The time zones are the same as the US.

That'd be turbocharged if there's actual H1B restrictions or bans.

Canada even started a program recently that directly targets H1B workers being pushed out of the US and it was oversubscribed very soon.

Interestingly, it appears to be a 13% reduction in all deaths excluding accidents: "The comparison, covering 46 months, revealed the 13% decline in mortality—excluding accidental deaths—attributed to RTS,S." The headline left it ambiguous as to whether it was a 13% reduction in all-cause mortality or a 13% reduction in malaria mortality.

The issue isn't even that Cruise was involved in an incident. They were not at fault for the collision and were only involved after a (human) driver launched the victim into the Cruise vehicle. Cruise had their permit suspended because they essentially tried to hide their involvement/responsibility and withheld video footage from the DMV.

One problem is that the state taught them that it’s ok to lie, or at least that it’s ok to omit the full details.

During the certification process for these self-driving cars, incidents of the cars “misbehaving” (for lack of a better term) were supposed to be reported. However, if a human driver intervened, then it didn’t count as the car itself making a poor choice.

Example: self-driving car approaches an intersection clipping a reasonable speed and the light turns yellow. While a human driver would understand that it’s better to go through than to slam their brakes, the self-driving cat goes “yellow means red soon, stop now”. The human driver overrides and floors it through the intersection. Had the car stopped, that would’ve been a mark against the autonomous system. But since a human intervened, it doesn’t “count”.

This is a good watch on the state of self-driving cars and how policy makers have largely just said “eh, fuck it” in places like SF. https://youtu.be/pmGOjHi-7MM

The original post claimed every post should be monitored for "harm to children". And that if giant social media companies can't do that, they shouldn't exist.

I’ve heard them, from “experienced” devs and managers… and may additional zingers, too!
Why? It shouldn't take two months and multiple interviews to hire a quality employee. I've been hired multiple times by large companies tech and otherwise during my first interview. They liked my resume, they liked my experience and I proved that I didn't have a third head and would wear a suit if totally necessary and that was good enough because they needed the worker. The whole process today seems gratuitous, at least in the United States everywhere is still at will employment, if it doesn't work fire them and hire someone else. Frankly I think the process is so long because a company doesn't want to hire new people/a replacement, they'd rather string the workers along with the "we just can't find the prefect fit" and pocket the savings than hire a needed worker that might not be a prefect fit -nobody is a prefect fit. Or maybe the answer is simpler, they really don't need another worker.

Not fake news fake, by PPP China easily beats the US based on IMF, World Bank, and CIA estimates. The US is ahead in nominal GDP, but currency controls distort those numbers so they aren’t particularly meaningful.

PPP is relevant when you want to look at say military budgets or the relative costs of infrastructure projects. Nominal GDP is more relevant for things like government debt.

> As a parent of a now-13 year old, I’m disappointed that COPPA hasn’t been updated after companies have gone aggressively after children.

COPPA was the culmination of a series of progressively more narrow attempts to restrict internet content and practices using “think of the children” as a justification, the previous efforts were, but for some standalone bits (like Section 230, which survived from the mostly-unconstitutional Communications Decency Act) struck down as unconstitutional, which is why there haven't been attempts to update it with more broadly applicable restrictions—its already the outcome of a process of backing off to the maximal constitutional restriction (OTOH, with a socially conservative Supreme Court that is unusually unconcerned with respecting precedent, I suppose now would be the time, if you wanted to do that.)

Exactly.

The main problem with the EU is that it is an entity with a construction aborted half-way.

The EU parlement is a example of what the EU should be.
The EU commission is not.

The EU commission was literally intended as a temporary fix for the executive power on the road of a broader European federation.

The federarion never happened. And is very unlikely to happen with the PPE (main European conservative party) and the extreme right dominating the political landscape.

The US doesn't, as far as I'm aware, have any encoded right to one's personal data. Furthermore, copyright in the US does not extend to databases, such as a list of records. So there isn't a clear legal regime under which to prosecute someone for holding onto records they recieved improperly. Physical property and even some coyrightable data would be a different story.
With all due respect to Jonathan Haidt, this is actually a good thing. Let me explain.

For the first time in human history, children, having unfettered access to the internet, are confronted with myriad ideas. Some, nay most, that they probably disagree with, that don't make them feel especially good, or are even perhaps unsettling. Truly, they have become uncoddled.

Rather than framing this as a bad thing, we should take it as a sign that it's working. We shouldn't then say, "Social media is making them feel worse" - that's exactly the mentality of the coddled mind. We should be implementing policy that increases internet and in particular social media use for children. After all, being confronted with uncomfortable ideas, especially ones that make you feel worse, in fact makes you stronger.

As I said in a previous post, if there's ever going to be peace, some of those who have killed in the past are going to have to go unpunished, and some of those who have died in the past are going to have to go unavenged. You're going to have to sell that to at least one side, and probably both. That's the only way out of the cycle of violence.

> However, the first option imposes less cognitive load on the (code) reader.

Not in this trivial case; cognitive load here is dominated by effort to identify meaningful parts and reject the noise. It rings true in case of more complex conditionals and expressions, where it quickly gets hard to identify at first glance where the three parts start and end. However:

> The second option requires specific knowledge of the ternary operator, which a significant number of programmers are not familiar with.

Those programmers should then familiarize themselves with it. For those reading this comment right now, here's a primer:

condition ? if-true-expression : if-false-expression;

That's it. The more important insight is that the whole thing is an expression, which always has a value, unlike regular if/else construct. This of course matters only for languages which, for some incomprehensible reason, needlessly complicate things by having "statements" and "expressions" be distinct things.

Anyway.

The larger point is that ternary operator is both very useful and very basic part of programming. Refusing to use it when appropriate, on the basis of "think of the juniors" is like refusing to sell paints and paintbrushes because hey, some adults never advanced past crayons and are artistically still 2 year old. And sure, if it's only about your hobby, then you do you - but when you want to do it professionally, you have to respect the fact that programming is a profession - as in, you're expected to learn stuff.

> The syntax of the ternary operator also varies by programming language, whereas if-then-else is far more ubiquitous.

Nah, arguably it's the if/then/else syntax that differs more often between languages. Starting with "then" thing being nonexistent in most.

The extreme aversion to learning, bordering on antiintellectualism, that's plaguing this industry, is not helping in making better software. It's helping companies in solving problems by throwing large amounts of easily replaceable fresh juniors at them.
