Then you should not be in journalism. It can't be done that way and what can be done that way is worse than useless.

Sorry, that is exactly the attitude that got us into the mess we are in. I for one care very little for activists doing journalism. Just tell people the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth as best as you can ascertain it and le

It would reward reporters who are honest and courageous. The incentives right now punish objectivity and reward conformity.

God bless scientists. We might not have flying cars yet but this is almost as good.

The courts would decide just like they do when a company is thought to have become a monopoly. This is not a new problem entirely but in this hyper politicized moment in the country it somehow has turned, just like everything else, into a l

Not every company. But certainly google, facebook and twitter.

Different rules apply with scale. HN is fine doing whatever it does but global monopolies require special handling.

That was well put. Nasseem Talib wrote a whole book about skin in the game and how it is essential for believability.

Thanks, I have a 11 year old with ADHD and as you say its a tough decision so I am always looking for advice. Take care.

How early do you think you should have started? And how would one know its the right time?

What medication do you take now? Did you take anything while growing up?

I am glad this is being tried out, perhaps it will lead to happier communities. I just wish it was done in a smaller and freer society.

Is that really true if the users are experienced in Linux?
406.
by zarkov99 6y ago
It also makes sense if you want to keep developers from switching to Linux desktops. I for one, think that most developers, especially young ones, would be far better off migrating fully to Linux.

Well I care, and so should anyone who would like to see Emacs live on for another 40 years. There will be major new areas of innovation, that will require massive amounts of work, and without an energetic and large community Emacs will not

Why? How are either of them superior to VS Code?
409.
by zarkov99 6y ago
I have used emacs since I was an undergrad, 25+ years ago and I have no plans to switch. That does not stop me from recognizing the fact that VS Code does almost everything that emacs does, often better, has orders of magnitude more users,

by zarkov99 6y ago
What are some of the changes you would want to see?
411.
by zarkov99 6y ago
It's over 40 years old but it has fewer and fewer users younger than that. VS code is rapidly taking over it's niche and without modernization, of many kinds, emacs will die out in a generation.

Hold enough to vote and go to war, but not gather. Doesn't make much sense.

I am not an evolutionary biologist so please excuse and correct any mistakes if you can. Lets assume there are some physical differences between the castes. These differences would have been brought into existence because at some point the

From Wikipedia: Twin studies of adult individuals have found a heritability of IQ between 57% and 73%[6] with the most recent studies showing heritability for IQ as high as 80%[7] IQ goes from being weakly correlated with genetics, for chil

I assure you I am in good faith, I understand the topic is sensitive, but I don't know what in my comment would suggest I am in bad faith. I think it is likely that there are differences in IQ between the castes, just as there are othe

I have some small hope that the cross pollination out of major urban centers will help reduce some of the urban/rural/liberal/conservative polarization. Fingers crossed.

If its true that speeding up compilation was not a goal then the committee is out of its mind. Speeding up compilation would have more impact on productivity and the environment than almost anything else that could be done with the language

No, I guess I misunderstood yours.There is nothing better than meritocracy, in my view, because meritocracy, which I believe is routinely used successfully in all sorts of domains, ensures the best people are incentivized to do the best wor

What if your party took place 80 years ago, in Berlin, and you invited a dozen guests, half of them were Nazi and objected to your invitation of the 7th for being a Jewish sympathizer? Would it bother you to disinvite him? And would you re
