Bugs and configuration errors will happen from time to time, and might look silly in retrospect. But the real problem was, I think, that there was no kill switch (managers and tech leads should have decided to add long ago)
Estimate what a real human can do in a day, and use that as the limits. Verify that the system behaves ok for some time, then scale up the desired trading volume and limits, observe, scale, repeat.
But you don't do it by making a (bad) guess up front and then just leaving it at that.
Hopefully the kill switch system is reasonably easy to code review and test :-)
Except that to some extent, similar things are happening here -- Putin was, from what I've read, using FB to do psyops, to prepare his 2014 takeover of parts of Ukraine: making up and spreading stories about Russians getting abducted etc, ... Which helped him with the 2014 annexations, and leading up to his invasion and war today. More people dead than in Myanmar.
A bit surprising that the current US gov doesn't seem to look at FB as a psyops threat against itself?
> Small wars eventually break out
I wonder if that isn't happening already here and there.
Bigger ones? What'll happen when areas large as a country, becomes mostly uninhabitable.
One more thing: There might be more authoritarian regimes in countries not affected that badly by the climate changes -- because the migrants will want to go there. And then the voters in those places, choose more brutal and authoritarian governments who build borders and use violence to keep the migrants away.
So, more war and dictatorships in the future, is one scenario?
They aren't primarily motivated by money. But the oil companies are.
> only about land by default
Hmm, I think to a somewhat large part, the conflicts are ways for the people in power to stay in power.
What do you mean with "by default"?
Have a look at The Dictators Handbok btw and try to see the world from the perspective of someone like Netanyahu or the Hamas leaders. How can they increase/keep their power and wealth, using the conflicts as tools.
It's also tribalism ... Many things at the same time going on?
You meant the Intro app I suppose,

(Unless they show far too many so people start leaving ... That threshold might be high though; Linux is too cumbersome for almost everyone?)
What about the Baltic countries
Wow 40% offline, that's amazingly useless quality, never heard about sth like that.
Sibling comment says "unscheduled repairs because of corrosion damage".
> Those hours don't count against reliability metrics
Says who? If they need maintenance that often, they're unreliable sources.
That "doesn't count" idea sounds like excuses the owners/responsible could come up with, to get away with their incompetence (or what's going on).
It'd been nice if they had worked (apparently better than burning coal and causing climate change)
Whilst smaller countries are more often somewhat well functioning democracies.
The more layers of power one has to climb to get to the top, the more beneficial it is to "be able to" happily manipulate, step on and destroy others
Actually it's sometimes a helpful feeling -- or evolution would have made it disappear.
But yes, many people feel shame too often? In a non constructive way,
At the same time, consider this: You're trying something new, maybe singing karaoke for the first time. It doesn't go well, you sing the wrong tones, the wrong lyrics, and the others start looking at you with surprise and a bit disappoinment in their eyes.
Should you continue singing more and more songs like that, they'll start to think that you're clueless about the impression you're making on others. They can start thinking you have some minor mental problems (if you sing bad enough and go on and on happily).
But instead you feel ... Shame, and withdraw: that day you don't sing more karaoke songs. Back home, you practice in the shower, and two weeks later you try again an now it goes ok.
They don't only hire recently laid off people. Most people who apply do that for other reasons I think. Also, maybe eg Google s recruiting accuracy is better than other companies lay-off accuracy
Form Wikipedia:
> an individual's performance on one type of cognitive task tends to be comparable to that person's performance on other kinds of cognitive tasks.
Ideas aren't copyrightable. IANAL
It seems you haven't read any of the books.
I did use the listening technique in Never Split... and it worked well, and long term good effects too for everyone. -- When listening to the other person, one gets a bit more open oneself -- sometimes the other person does have (partly) good ideas (although not in that case) and it's simpler to find something that works.
Never Split the Difference. And Nonviolent Communication.
Because just listening to others, and showing that you care about and understand what they're saying, can go a long way. Not always a need to actually do anything in the real world (or to say or pretend that you agree).
Maybe theoretically this won't place you in their old group, still, you'll a bit form a new group where you and that other person are friends
> almost not worth listening to their arguments
At the same time, their arguments are likely the-least-dumb / most-intelligent things they've been able to come up with, to rationalize their group's ideas -- so at least you have a chance to get to know what those least-dumb-things are
(Whilst anyone unprepared, or a daredevil, wouldn't have had a life jacket, and then maybe 100%)
Thanks for the explanation and link
