Yea, I suspect a sizable number of people use "flag" as a mega-downvote for things they passionately don't like, rather than for policy violations and spam.

Not sure about this comment - I think you need to put up examples here. I think your comment is historically true but not up to date with current policies.
In the short term that's absolutely correct. In the medium term higher home prices and lower interest rates encourage more building. Assuming that NIMBYs don't prevent that construction (big if), that would lead to lower home prices.

But high interest rates isn't making things affordable because first time buyers can't afford a mortgage at those rates.

Valuable advice. I've found the same w.r.t. working at a small company versus an enterprise. I think I'm in the niche carving stage of my career but I have no idea how to sell myself. I'm in the same boat, I can and do operate across that wide swathe of experience as well.

It seems your unemployment rate is low [1]. But people are dying [2] and incomes and GDP/capita stalling [3][3a] while home prices soar [4] despite a falling population [5].

So the quantitative supports your qualitative: something is misfiring. Your crime rate is down, so that wouldn’t seem the problem [6]. And the population doesn’t appear to be borrowing itself into ruin [7].

Is there a drug or industrial pollution problem? Are folks from the city buying up your housing stock?

from The Economist
During my last job building and maintaining a design system across all sorts of hardware, I became a fan of designing perceptually uniform palettes. It's a good approach for consistency across UI's, although it has some caveats. We noticed that color rendering across device screens could vary rather significantly. This problem was less so on higher-end devices, with high coverage of P3 or just Rec.207 color gamuts.

On devices with cheaper displays, colors wouldn't render at equal perceived lightness across all hues. On one of our devices, greens rendered particularly light and desaturated. This had some downstream effects and made me question blindly following WCAG contrast guidelines. I ended up using contrast ratios along with eye-checks to verify designs.

Despite its flaws, following WCAG recommendations and aiming for CIELAB perceptually uniform palettes was helpful. Even if they aren't perfect, they get us closer to an ideal, measurable solution. I personally never used HSLuv. Instead, I worked off some CIELAB tools I found online. There was one powerful and easy-to-use tool, but I couldn't find it.

There's a similar Open Source tool here: https://cielab.io
A pretty, but paid option: https://atmos.style
Another option: https://accessiblepalette.com
Stripe seems to use a similar internal tool: https://stripe.com/blog/accessible-color-systems
It does seem to be determined that these pose some degree of hazard.

Two problems:

1) defining the class sufficiently broadly to encompass the entire set so mfgrs can't just dodge the regulations by rearranging the molecule a bit and making the regulators play whack-a-mole, and possibly making things worse

2) not making the regulations too onerous, such as a sudden total ban. Yes, a lot of disposable uses should be discouraged or contained, and it may be reasonable to phase out all use to develop better alternatives.
US CDC Says the Best Way to Keep Kids from Smoking Weed Is to Legalize It
It’s a quote from the book “1984”. Where a dystopian government routinely makes up fake numbers and even changes the numbers daily. The OP is either indicating that they don’t trust the government’s employment statistics, or the OP is indicating something along the lines of “yesterday we laid off 1000 workers, today we hired 500 workers” where the headline is +500 instead of -500.

There was a bunch of Gary Tan links -- you can see in my comments I was arguing with a bunch of HNers today about whether he's right or wrong on that "Die Slow" tweet. Probably dang removed it because it's a dupe story.

I appreciate your sympathetic and empathic vibes. What ever struggles you may be going through/gone through, I hope you know I feel the same for you.

My point, which I probably failed to convey, was that the field of psychiatry is about 50% bullshit. Psychology is probably about 75% bullshit. Arguing which is more equipped to treat a condition is like arguing if either Greek Oracles or Astrologers can predict the future better.

I would love to had a long format discussion with a psychiatrist and pick his or her brain about this topic. Not necessarily from a treatment point of view. I just want their opinions and insights on topics like we are discussing in this thread.

> Also consider the possibility that ADD isn't something you can therapy away, but it is something you can control some negative side effects of, with medication

I have considered this. I've been treated for a decade now, and I can say with confidence that I figured this one out within a few months of treatment. I've tried countless treatments, multiple times, etc.. I can say with great confidence that what I am currently taking is the "least worst of them all." On an average day, I maybe get like 20% to 40% reduction in symptoms. Better than nothing, but not exactly the help I was hoping for. I'm still paralyzed by executive dysfunction, but the tricky part is that things other than ADHD can cause this, so it's difficult to separate the signal from the noise.

> honestly it's kind of a superpower

Perhaps at one time in our evolution, I would agree. However, in modern times, I strongly disagree. I do not see any situations in which it can benefit somebody. I find that many people who were successful with ADHD were successful despite of ADHD and not because of ADHD.
The only thing I like about it is that it makes it easy to know whether I should care about this person's opinion.

Sure enough, the blog post was completely deranged -- to the point that the author even tried to present it as a given that reporting on both sides of an issue is a bad thing. This moron is legitimately mad that modern journalism isn't propagandistic enough. Incredible.

The article says "Japan hopes its new visa status will attract [..] YouTubers earning advertising fees from overseas companies." and this is about digital nomads. To me, that seems weird because most digital nomads (and most YouTube personalities) aren't going to make that $68k limit.
The US isn't a part of the war crimes part of the ICC, therefore no US citizen will ever be tried there. Thus, by your logic, there can be no US war criminals.

I think the actual nuance here is that, in the words of the West Wing, all war is a crime. Sometimes the term "war criminal" is used fairly, other times it's trotted out to try and tar people/movements. The US knows this and does it, which is why it doesn't submit to the circus. I'm not excusing the horrible stuff the US has done, but I think I agree that humanity hasn't gotten to the point where we can really fairly avoid or judge war crimes.
Also the thing was tall as f** and therefore likely just as difficult if not more difficult to service.

> All of this tends to indicate that hiring is down and will continue to be down

I'm not sure why, but it seems half the posts in this discussion seem to be working very hard to twist things around to dispute the actual numbers by the Fed, without just explicitly saying the numbers are wrong.

Is hiring down? No. Apparently not. Yet, people seem to keep arguing that they are down.

2 + 2 does indeed equal 4. No?

Am I missing something here?
Unless you are trolling, I'm genuinely curious why you think this headset will be "swarming the streets"?

What about this $3k product will make people go out in droves and buy it, to then go and use it in the streets? What killer app will convince people that it's OK to wear this when they are going out in public?
I think it really is and could have serious safeguarding issues.

Also other features are effected like kiosk mode etc. The implications are unclear but could conceivably be quite serious in some scenarios.

The former since that would be the definition of a secular democracy. The same immigration and citizenship laws regardless of religion or ethnicity. There's definitely need of some reparations as well, so I think right of return would play a role in re-establishing the Palestinian population from where they were displaced.
i feel like every news source, forum, link aggregator, ... has its own target audience and scope of topics that make for productive discussion, its own biases and predispositions, its own trolls and need for pruning and moderation.

i feel like yes of course there are many things i disagree with on this site. but ultimately i value the information shared and the discussion enough to keep coming back. any relationship where people always agree there is probably only one person doing the actual thinking.

i have learned so much about tech here, i have learned about many best practices and projects that i would have never heard of, i have made no bones about my thoughts on various subjects that could easily be classified as touchy, i have really enjoyed the discourse. for the time being i definitely plan and hope to continue doing so.

(so while this site is an interesting artifact, and maybe it is good that someone is taking a look and keeping a record, i personally won't bother unless/until i see a pressing need. at which point i will maybe just move on instead tbh.)

> incorrect to argue that Apple being "walled garden" is causing Apple to take more from devs than other places devs can market their wares.

I thought you just said that Steam was on an open platform that doesn't choose how much they charge developers? Compared to iOS and the App Store, it's a very different situation; Steam is actually motivated to compete.

> In general, big tech is mad about this labeling

Source? I kinda think Apple has the API coverage to make this an OS-level or app-level feature instead of an App Store one. If not then they better start investing in that technology.

> "ads" that package and sell users to advertisers, and that that is what Apple is gate keeping,

Where is Apple gatekeeping advertisement? Seems to me that they barely care, as long as you conform to their App Store standards. They even sell their own targeted (but of course, respectful) ads: https://searchads.apple.com/

> which causes them to be misaligned with users and Apple.

For one, users don't care. Go on, go ask your mom how often she thinks about YouTube targeted advertisement when she's looking up chicken recipes.

For two, Apple only pretends to care. If you make a time-wasting, attention-span harvesting sinkhole gatcha game, Apple will welcome you into their platform with open arms. They operate so many double standards that threatening a company breakup a-la Microsoft antitrust is starting to look like the most sensible solution.

Yeah, IPv6 is shut off on my Google Fiber router. Stuff on the Internet breaks when it’s on (last tested three or so months back when they sent me a new router).

When we first got Fiber, years ago, Amazon’s store was one of the things that broke until I turned off IPv6. Wouldn’t load at all, on any device on our network.

Works fine for VPNs and such, but I don’t talk to the Internet with it, because my experience has been it’s terribly unreliable.

At Goldman Sachs on every trading and quant desktop you will see a blue turbo pascal ANSI graphics display. That display is the most powerful risk management system ever built, SecDB. It’s been derided for its lack of GUI elements for nearly 30 years. However behind the blue screen is one of the most advanced computing systems around - an instantaneous deployment and roll back wave front monorepo system built around a topologically evaluated memoizing graph of evaluation that provides a high level abstraction of all data and models ever created at Goldman seamlessly stitched together into a total view of everything in the financial world - all stocks, bonds, derivatives, loans, options, airplane parts receivable contract.

I'm with the author on the critical eschewing of abstraction, but I don't think that leads so clearly to the strong leader form. It suggests we need to be wiser technologists - understanding why we are making abstractions and what the downsides are and not simply ignoring dangers that are hard to address within our chosen abstraction. Organizationally that should mean more, not less independence for people at every level, who understand the boundaries where systems break down.
I really don't like Musk but I don't flag things Musk related. I frequently upvote them because I'm interested in the discussion.

Unfortunately those stories often turn into flamewars. That's probably why people are flagging them.

I don't think it's wise to draw so many inferences about why people vote the way they do. Frequently I see comments where someone makes a reasonable point, but also drops a bunch of flamebait, and when they're inevitably flagged they edit their comment to claim that the flags prove their point and that the problem who disagree with them are overly sensitive and censorious. But in reality a lot of the people flagging them probably agree with them, but don't want them to start a flamewars. I flag a lot of comments like that, even when I am agree with their overall point. (I actually did that with a comment just now.)

It's a form of self fulfilling prophecy and further entrenches you into your position, which is antithetical to curious discussion.
