While I appreciate the collection (LGBTQ) I'm not sure it's always helpful to put that all in one box. Within that group there are wildly different lifestyles and social experiences.

Being gay for example is largely mainstream in the US - being trans, not so much.

That said, there are indeed lots of countries in the world that at a local, social level (as well as a constitutional level) are very accepting of all life styles.

Moving country though is not trivial, even for US citizens. It's not like you can up sticks and just move anywhere that best suits you.
How is that different from fact checkers? They can also be driven by large actors who pay shills to influence public opinion?

I've successfully pulled off most of such a majority re-write but a key driver - but not the only was that the legacy language the existing system was implemented in had lost virtually all traction in the local and global market. Mostly only expensive contractors coming out of pension availabile and on top of that the custom libraries required us to recruit the 10 percent of that segment.

> You can't compile a list of facts about a person's life and use that to deterministicly attribute the cause of given conditions.

That is just not the case, and I shouldn't have to point out such basics on HN.

> A physical exam at the start of insurance doesn't solve this, because like I said, the existing issues could have been caused by any number of problems.

And yet I have to… People do a thing called "collecting data", on a large scale, and then they apply the lessons learnt from that data to calculate statistical risk. An imperfect system but, strangely enough, very effective (when not interfered with, as in the US health system).

Of course, you are welcome to open a car insurance company and offer everyone the same insurance for the same price and watch as young men and previously uninsurable people flock to your service. Maybe you'll get lucky and won't have to pay out more than you take in. All the best with that.

> Your example also has the problem of measuring the "lifestyle questions" being presented. How would you prove a person isn't exercising enough? If I know it will get me denied I'm not going to self report.

And then the insurance company can decide what level of fraud it will tolerate (something HN has discussed previously[0], and the linked article[1] is enlightening) and thus adjust its costs, and perhaps premiums.

> Your dismissal of my specific example is silly - I don't want to sue a doctor for misdiagnosing a relatively common issue.

If it's not a problem then don't sue. If it is, that is what the court system is for (or whatever system doctors and medical companies would put in place to avoid going to court).

That makes sense: As far as I understand, OpenGL 2.0 and beyond don’t really provide much fixed-function/predefined logic anymore, e.g. I believe you need to provide your own vertex and pixel shaders.

Is it a median? The site doesn't say (that I can see) but the text seems to suggest an average, not a median.

But even if it's a median, the point stands. At least half the country falls below this standard.

> A lot of inconsistency is the result of unwillingness to fix other people's stuff

Agree, so we find it best to practice "no code ownership" or better yet "shared code ownership." So we try to think of it all as "our stuff" rather than "other people's stuff." Maybe you just joined the project, and are working around code that hasn't been touched in 5 years, but we're all responsible for improving the code and making it better as we go.

That requires a high trust environment; I don't know if it could work for Firefox where you may have some very part-time contributors. But having documented standards, plus clang-format and clang-tidy to automate some of the simpler things, also goes a long way.

How is there no security issue here? Email is not secure and it's even less so when you are sending it via a 3rd party. If this were a photo site or something that would not be a big deal but we're talking about a bank. SMS is not much better.

Go is simple, and revolutionized the design of language-supporting tooling with its all-in-one compiler, dependency manager, formatter, test, etc. C# has a long history of baffling complexity in terms of tooling and ecosystem. Maybe things are improving these days but there’s still a very long ways to go.

For illustration, when I google “C# install”, the top hit is “Install .Net on Windows” from Microsoft, a W3CSchools URL, and then a plethora of YouTube videos. The Microsoft link has several tables listing various different packages and whatnot. Is .Net the same thing as C#? I’m on a Mac anyways so it’s useless. I am stumped on how to even use this language before I get started.

When I Google “go install” the top hit is a page with simple instructions for each operating system (Windows, Linux, Mac. No tables to read or oracles to consult.
Correct, people balk at high GPU prices when others have expensive hobbies too. I think it's because people expect GPUs and PC components to be democratized whereas an expensive car or motorcycle to not be. 5090s are absolutely luxury purchases, no one "needs" one; treat it the same as a sportscar in terms of the clientele able to buy it.

Part of it is age. Part of it is, I think, the fast food companies are lowballing what they can get away with serving in order to keep costs down. It's said that some Diné (Navajo) refer to Burger King with a word that means "just enough food to get strength from". I think that's the fast food joints' specialty: compromise the food till it's barely enough to tolerate and derive nourishment (calories) from to sell the stuff cheap and quick to a ravenous but indiscriminate clientele. With the passage of time comes more efficient ways to produce less delicious or satisfying food, so BK today is not as good as BK 30-40 years ago (which in turn is less good than BK shortly after its founding). Some burger joints e.g. Whataburger can differentiate themselves with higher quality, but they don't achieve the volume of McD's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc.
I think you are trying hard and writing a lot to miss the parent's point. You're thing about the number of words in the sentence is like what the parent is mistakenly calling "tautological;" another way to say it is blatantly obvious and a banal observation. This is not the type of thing we are talking about here. This is entire post is about "facts" and "fact checking" in the case of socio-political issues, the kinds of things for which there are fact checkers. The parent is obviously correct. Just look at the state of actual "fact checking" of this variety in the real world. There is a lot of controversy and a lot of words are used in a very loose way, these are not simple physics problems that you can punch into a TI-86. The issue is clearly about "who are the fact checkers" or put another way "who decides the facts." In a court of the law in the US, the judge is only arbiter of facts, these can not even be appealed.

The person I responded to (correctly) criticized per capita GDP, citing differences in cost of living. I felt that referencing PPP would be helpful since it attempts to factor in cost of living differences.

I'm not sure this "comparisons are hard" speech is adding much. Differences in wealth are real, measurable, and meaningful, even if they can't be boiled down to a single number. Obviously there are other factors to quality of life; nobody here stated anything to the contrary.
I'm not sure I'm convinced that running a super-secretive company and building a locked-down status-symbol walled-garden product that takes way the "owner's" freedom to tinker with it pushes him in the "left the world a better place" column.

The iPhone and other Apple products are just that: products. There are not many products in history that I'd say made the world a better place. Certainly better-than-previously-available computers and phones wouldn't meet that bar for me.

Tell me about all Jobs' philanthropy and maybe I'll agree with you. But you can't, because Jobs ran what was once described as one of the least philanthropic companies operating, and Jobs' own philanthropic activities were either so secretive that we still don't know much about them, or (the more likely option) were more or less nonexistent.

I agree that Jobs was probably on the whole better than Thiel, Andreessen, or Musk, but IMO that's not saying much.

You're probably right about that, but I've always undervalued user data because I don't think it's ethical to exploit people like that.

Not seeing fact checks likely means it's working: "Once third-party fact-checkers have fact-checked a piece of Meta content and found it to be misleading or false, Meta reduces the content’s distribution "so that fewer people see it.""

The issue with Community Notes is that if enough people believe a lie, it will not be noted. This lends further credence to a certain set of "official" lies.

Meta has failed (abysmally) at identifying and categorizing content where you’ve said “show me less of this.”

Bluesky’s not my favorite website but Xblock is proof that the app can go “this is a twitter screenshot and she doesn’t want to see those” at scale.

AI could identify, label, and hide all of these things.

On bluesky it already does: “this is rude” or “this content promotes self harm” , I wish both websites could suppress , snooze, or completely nuke “viral” or political content be it left or right. In bluesky’s case it’s not that I disagree with them. It’s just that I’ve had this shit that I more or less agree with shoved down my throat from every angle for a decade and I’m exhausted and don’t want to see or engage with it anymore. People who have nothing else to say 24/7 every single day of their life and mine just need to go away and I wish the AI on bluesky would just let me filter people whose content is primarily political temper tantrums because I don’t have the time or will to mute or block them all so I just don’t use the product.

In fact for moderation purposes, Facebook already is doing that on their back end. (a few years ago you could see automatically generated alt text like “a woman holding a baby” though I don’t use meta at the present time and don’t know if it’s still doing this.)

AI is already analyzing the memes and purging ones with themes they don’t like on FB though . Unlike bluesky moderation, it’s not presented as something I can leverage or access to make my experience more enjoyable on Facebook.

But that’s not how they’re leveraging AI right now. They won’t let it prevent me from seeing memes posts and content with themes **i** don’t like.

I agree with you completely. My country has an out-of-control safety culture that has many unintended effects. For example we are one of only a handful of countries on earth with a cycling helmet law. As a result, fewer people cycle and drivers take less care around cyclists. Lots of studies have shown that at a population level it's quite possible helmet laws have a negative impact on health and safety. I am currently travelling Japan and I have seen thousands of cyclists and not a single helmet (and very little in the way of dedicated cycling infrastructure). To my knowledge Japan doesn't have an epidemic of head injuries.
As someone who has led many high hazard outdoor trips for beginners, poor clothing choices from participants often ruin the day. The guide isn't trying to be elitist, he has likely experienced all of the following:

1) It starts to rain or gets windy and a client was not wearing appropriate clothes and gets very cold in a potentially dangerous situation.
2) A client has worn something extremely uncomfortable and chafes or does not have the freedom of motion to move around properly which ruins the day or slows it down.
3) The client damages their nice clothing and is annoyed.

Enforcing proper clothes for an outdoors trip is a cover-your-ass technique which is necessary when you have been guiding for long enough. I have sent people home because they have not followed the instructions and brought appropriate clothing.

Sure it's just a metaphor but it's extremely triggering for anyone who has been in the guide's situation and makes poor basis for an article on building.

That's 5,000 to 50,000 lines of code per engineer. Not understaffed.
A worse problem is when you have that much code, but fewer people. Too few people for there to be someone who understands each part, and the original authors are long gone.
