Probably the instructor knew about that, and something went wrong anyway? I wonder, then, what that might have been

> can't normally survive swimming in

What about with life jackets?

What about trees?

I read the Fantastic manual

> A long phrase requires the user to keep the entire meaning in their head

You could say that about books as well? I mean, if you forget what it is about when you're about to read the end ...

Eumerations can be long and still easy to read especially if using 1) ... 2) ... style. And ; clauses too like the sibling comment says

Height above the ground matters too: high cars hit pedestrians more on the chest, lower cars hit the legs.

And high cars can roll over lower cars, making the deformation zone have no effect.

Interesting anyway about weight.

I'm thinking high cars should be forbidden ... Unless in terrain on the countryside.

Thanks, interesting diagrams.

> co-opt the language of the displaced, and take on the mantle of those who can no longer afford rent

Oh this is too abstract for me (I don't understand)

Why would you judge in a vacuum? There's statistics, and traffic fatalities is (one of) the most dangerous thing (for young people). That's cars.

There's 112 and ambulanses if you need to a hospital urgently. Everyone doesn't need a spare "what if my neighbor gets a heart attack" rush to the hospital car at home

Not from SF and clueless, I wonder:

> NIMBY neighbors that have been displacing so many people in my community

Who are the people getting displaced?

The Not In My Backyard people, are they ... rich and affluent who don't want low income people nearby?

You believe the people, the women, in Afghanistan want to be slaves under the Talibans? I guess your never met anyone from Afghanistan.

That's the same as believing the African Americans wanted to get captured by slave traders and shipped by boat to work as slaves in the US.

You have, or pretend to have, big holes in your understand of people and the world.

Putin was never chosen by the people, he doesn't represent them. He assassinates opposition politicians or put then in prison if they grow too strong, and fakes election results otherwise he would lose.

I wonder if you're a paid Chinese Communist Party 50 cent person, otherwise, the lack of knowledge you show would be baffling. If indeed you are, then, no hard feelings, I understand you might need a job and pay the rent and maybe you have family and kids what do I know. Probably I won't reply, have a nice day anyway.

Book tips: The Dictators Handbok. Those people don't ... Don't represent the people.

Also, Akka is rare technology -- there aren't many well functioning actors and transactional memory implementations in the world. The number of people who can continue maintaining this, is small, and such people are mostly making lots of money doing other things already, I'd think.

GP zozbot234, I'm guessing an OSS fork will go mostly unmaintained or start to source code rot, even if "maintained".

And we others here too? :-)

Interesting about lahars, thanks for the link

(I like that you (re)read and quoted his longer quote :-))

Is that a pretty primitive mindset by those reviewers? No nuances, either or. Still so common ...

Why don't they use the median instead (or maybe they do?)

Desire for widening one's views? For understanding the world?

I love my job :-) and HN makes me better at it (new tech, psychology, understanding organizations, society...)

Interesting, anywhere to read about that?

The larger the group, the more corrupted power seekers will climb close to the top, and do the more damage (since they affect more people).

Maybe we can say that the human brain partly isn't well suited for living in large societies, for these reasons

> where Popper drew the line. When a side replies with fists or guns

No, here's his line:

> we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal

That's before fists and guns, at an earlier stage. It's before the nazis invaded Poland, not after.

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance, the Discussion section)

Apparently he knew that after, can be too late

You meant "cannot" right:

> which simple test coverage cannot find.

I'd think that's not the main problem -- it's instead fewer new users? Impacting future paying customers

Personally, I both agree and disagree. I think with more intelligent humans, harder for want-to-be dictators to manipulate, we could have different cultures and countries, and everyone friends, just enjoying the differences, as tourists and exchange students, no conflicts.

But with the humans of today, then yes I agree that conflict is unavoidable

> less unity

Angrier and angrier narcissist dictators with nukes? -- less unity yes. Does it increase safety?

Yes beautiful text

What don't you like about it?

How is it any lazy

I found especially the Fermi paradox interesting (throwawayacc2 thanks for mentioning)

And it's in YCs self interest to make their startups safer?

Wouldn't this be in all venture capitalists self interest? (Not only YC) Maybe they could join (or start their own)

> just starts higher up the food chain

How do you make those people interested in it though?

(If they weren't, originally when you hired them.)

Adding the right KPI? What'd those be

What if they aren't any bright, just have a good self confidence?

14%, even just 4%, is a lot, can be enough to decide an election. Often the parties are close to 50% each.

In addition to that, the manipulators / nation states don't attack only via Twitter, and, everything combined ...

Would Agrawal get cash bonuses? If ... Under what conditions? (Anywhere to read about that?)

Aha, eg:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10258453/Twitters-n...

So his performance bonuses is more than 10x his salary - incentives to fake good numbers and hide the bad stuff, indeed!

> Say Twitter is completely overrun by foreign state actors who delete everything.

That's not what's dangerous.

Instead, dangerous things include manipulating the algorithms so that "news" of ones choice get lots of visibility. Then a foreign state can influence the elections
