To literally change the government would be a ten year project at least. I'm just raising it create discussion. I just think when Trump leaves office people are going to rapidly forget how bad it was. And another Trump (potentially Tru

Yes counterweight is a great way to put it. I don't at all know how to implement this idea, but I feel strong if we don't figure that out, with the best minds we can find, we are doomed. Imagine Trump but more religious, with more

The proposal it not that the government "be ruled by science" at all. The proposal is all three branches of the government still exist. The legislative still makes the laws, the executive still runs things, the judicial still inte

I have not read it, but I read this excerpt: https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/11/books/excerpt-wrong.html I don't think any of that applies to what I'm talking about. I'm talking about scie

I'm not proposing any specific implementation, I don't have one in mind, I'm only floating the goal. The goal is to get "some science" into the mix as a check and a balance. Not to have science take over or run thin

I said “science based government” in the HN title, but really it's about adding a relatively small science-based check and balance to an existing system. Not replacing what we have just inserting something to keep it from going totally

My article says that this new science council would work with all three existing branches of the government. Not replace them. So, it is in no way suggesting it be driven “only by science”. It’s more a question of injecting a modicum of sci

For the last 5000 years advertising has tried and succeeded at making people change their behavior and actions. It's not all that insidious, it's just how advertising works, that's its entire purpose. The doc was not awful, i

I never mentioned "memorization" of code in the article, and I don't feel that "memorizability" is at all a goal. In my mind the goal is learning and understanding and familiarity and navigating the landscape of the

I guess I’ve lost the plot here. Sturgeon’s Law says 90% of everything is crap. Half of programmer’s and their programs are below average. The article is just saying that objects with lots of attributes can be problematic and so we should a

I really have not worked with databases a ton. But I do a think a huge thing I didn't address in the article is how readily are you even able to make changes? I'm really talking about a system where you free to change things. Once

I disagree that FP and OOP are aren't sufficiently distinguished from each other. There is substantial academic literature on both methodologies, and they are very different worlds in theory and in practice. I do agree though it's

Yeah very few people can get more than 9 digits consistently, that's the whole point really, 7 plus or minus 2. Interestingly chimps do have better working memory than we do, checkout this crazy video: https://youtu.be/

Hierarchy and abstractions have costs, no doubt. I didn't get into that in the article, but the article was only 1500 words. I can imagine a long "yes, but..." section that explores the risks and downsides of small objects. I

I don't advocate punting the complexity into a hierarchy of objects/types. Limiting yourself to seven attributes per object in not a panacea, you can create an utter shite design with small objects. We've all seen that. Let&#
