> Yes they are trying to dismantle free speech rights by forcing private companies to provide platforms to publish content they do not want to.

Communications carriers providing content-neutral service? Thank God the post office, USPS, FedEx, phone, fax, ISP, cell-phone, sat-phone, and handheld radio companies have the freedom to engage in partisan political censorship as they please. It would be a tyranny on those poor corporations were it not the case. Oh won't someone think of the shareholders!

The only push-back I have on BJJ (as I practice both KM and BJJ) is that there is a huge sport-orientation whereas KM, assuming trained competently, is a combative system such that you'll often get a "practice this slowly and carefully because you can and will cause damage to your partner."

Personally, I have a little harder of a time training BJJ for the reason that everyone thinks it is the best for real-world defense but the reality is many moves open you up to serious maiming in a combative environment. Take for example the typical "get past the guard" move, I most always have the option in a true fight of grabbing your knees and splaying them outward leaving you with an unfortunate convalescent leave, perhaps permanent injury.

More generally, if you're going for true-blue self-defense any sporting-oriented art is good but not great - you'll do well against an untrained assailant, which is likely a good chunk of the threat model.

Alternatively, and depending on the severity, they can recognize they've hired a bad (apple|fit) and separate, possibly update the hiring process, and move on.

While adding in new technologies isn't always a bad thing, having nothing but a desire to do so is classical Resume-Driven-Development. If your firm is in a business position such that having all the latest, greatest tools is a good thing (hard to imagine industries in which this is an unqualified good) then keep on trucking. Otherwise you may find yourself needing to have adult conversations with $RDD_DEV about just what it is that makes the business money, in light of technical decisions that cost additional time, have larger TCO, and so on.

Do US schools tend to not allow for the "university" style course selection? In mine, which is all I really know, I was allowed to double-up on certain subjects, e.g. biology and chemistry side-by-side such that I completed all required courses in three years rather than the traditional four.

So when one has their citizens slaughtered whole-sale, they are then under obligation to offer good trading terms?

If we are to reinterpret France's wrongs in light of modern norms, why not too interpret the wrong of the Haitian's? Why is this "rules for thee?"

So they made a carve-out on their genocidal rampage? That does not make the slaughter of women and children better.

> Technology is even more necessary for social activity than when we were young.

Oddly, my own children do not have that same issue. In a world of billions, there are no universal claims like this.

Oddly, my children have no such issue.

> I don’t think Germany was stick with an invoice after world war 2

It was.

> Sure, now lets try to apply that in practice with a kid angry at you for years.

That's called "being a parent" in my circle? I have a toddler that loves to throw the "you're not my friend!" at me when I cut off the TV and tell her it is time for dinner.

I never had a cell-phone until 17, despite all my friends having had theirs as early as the middle school years. Never mattered much in my case. I didn't have an X-Box 360 with Halo 2 and online gaming despite many of my peers having had that. Not sure why this is being seen as a "must have."

Bear in mind the boards, the culture, etc. shift over time and vary. Some boards might be semi-normal (it's still 4chan) while others are toxic. Hard to tell, but looks like the /pol/ group is somewhat behind this, which is the political snakepit of the site.

I agree and disagree with your example. As a child, I was very big into entrepreneurship. Running lemonade stands at the pool, making bootleg tech-deck finger snowbords, tried starting what could have been Dropbox in high school with a classmate. Took classes on business accounting and such in high school.

Having a for-kids course isn’t bad... forcing your kids into it sure is.

I've seen both, and for the company "Hire Fast, Fire Fast" seemed to be optimal - though perhaps not for the candidate.

When one drags an interview process too long they risk losing out on candidates to faster firms. However, a person's work performance and interpersonal skills are often on-display in about a month or so. This allows one to break contact, ideally with a respectable severance, and keep moving.

At the first professional job I've held, and my golden standard for an employer, they employed this approach. When one accidentally hired a screw-up or a non-team player we simply terminated their employment. The understanding being that our HR handbook is "Be an adult." Putting in rules in a company of 50 to cater to the 1 bad hire, that just punishes the 50 people who did not need the rule.

> The interesting question is what will replace what we now call "journalism", and how it will work.

One might well call it for what it is, PR and propaganda, but in my experience one will want to retain the title "journalist" for all the positive emotional weight it contains.

I've had drinks with a few local paper "journalists" of the current, young generations and the reality of their work is shaping of narrative rather than reporting, but on the topic of job title view themselves in the same light as an Upton Sinclair. Brings to mind the early 2010s "positively changing the world" startup software engineers building Orwellian systems.

> This is exactly it; this whole near-mystical thinking about "hallway conversations" isn't encouraging serendipitous innovation, it's encouraging the political gamesmanship that businesses have been accustomed to.

I would have to push back in that, in my experience, those just turn into private off-the-record chat groups among the in-group - and that this is something of an innate part of the human tribalism that cannot and will not be suppressed.

We used it at work (anti-cybercrime / Phishing focused) company in conjunction with our crawler for clustering of phishing landing pages.

Typically, you'll have loads of script kiddies hosting slightly modified copies of the Apple ID landing page on a compromised web server... Alternatively you'd have loads of these pages build out of "exploit frameworks" / "kits" so we'd want to categorize and group to identify prevalence of a given framework / author.

Had the nice side-effect of prioritizing, speeding up, and automating takedowns for our SOC folks.

When I did my post-secondary Eurotrip I purchased the Euro pass and scheduled my train travels to be overnight such that I could wake up in a new city. Leave Sweden to wake up in Berlin, leave Berlin to wake up in Nürnberg, etc.

Made for a great form of travel IMHO. Got to wake up and watch the sunrise over the countrysides was beautiful. Though I do love your point, I’d love to travel the “Wild West” regions via train.

Work for a public utility... lack of talented employees was stated explicit in the interview.

Shame the history ends in 1965.
