....you can just not participate and keep to yourself and I guarantee you'll have a 5 star rating from every driver in america

I was about to ask the same thing; I have a hard time seeing the ways it ends up a net gain when driving is still a decent job for a lot of people, and rideshare drivers keep to themselves anyways

This seems like such a pointless semantic flex to me...

In this case has the game not become Game A + Game B ?

It's just a larger game with a distinct winning strategy because the ruleset is expanded right?

What's the significance?

I would put forth that you're not going to get far in this conversation if you can't acknowledge that censorship and government abridgement of free speech are not one and the same.

A company deplatforming an individual is indeed censorship, but is not government abridgement of free speech.

readability? who needs it when i can now say `this, but camel case and no nulls`

  export type Camel<T> = { [K in keyof T as K extends string ? `${Uncapitalize<string & K>}` : K]: T[K] extends Record<any, any> ? Camel<Exclude<T[K], null>> : Exclude<T[K], null> }

Template literals... helllsss yesss, been waiting a long time for those suckers.

I find these graphs from Vanderbilt to be particularly compelling (page 2) evidence of the effectiveness of mask mandates on general public wellbeing. What do you think? Anything I should be reconsidering?

This news is not news. The pentagon? Preparing?

Thank you very much for sharing that comic.

It does; it stems from Portugal meaning black people according to the article. If I understood it correctly, it's some mashup of colony and black people. It's an artifact of early modern colonialism and zenophobia.

Another actually interesting idea (in my opinion ofc): facial recognition scrambling jewelry/implants. Actually interesting.

The only important idea in that list is the last, firefighting tools

code challenge as application? Where do you find things like that?

well, objects are not iterables... ??? unless you decide you want them to be, in which case you can make them such and design them in a way that they work as such?

The least elegant way is Object.keys().map(key => etc) which is really not that hard to work with

edit: it's a phony premise to begin with actually. Iterables have order, objects have mapping. I am less experienced with other languages so I probably don't understand OP's statement clearly. I just think OP's context is lazy thought rot about what's becoming a fairly elegant language. BUT I'm a noob.

> And how do you get the "next 3 elements after the 2nd" ?

.splice(2, 3) (am I missing something?)

> > The rest can be implemented in user-land: var md5 = require("md5") And then you get the current 3Mo pages we all hate. Are you even serious with your arguments or is it trolling ?

md5 node lib is 32kb unbundled. If you meant 3Mb pages that's ridiculous. Modular necessity at the hands of the user is good, and it's something that's been present in every project i've worked on in a less granular fashion than modern npm-driven apps can deliver.

I wouldn't know but I'd venture that makes sense... Thanks for the perspective.

What is a problem that you have recently defined and solved?

I don't disagree with you, for what it's worth. I just don't know of a better community to ask my questions of.

which ones? forcing them or not forcing them?

The way it was explained to me was that Microsoft low-balled the market on Office and pushed out the innovators who built the individual pieces and were able to do it because they had a fat bank to lean on. I buy the argument that Excel and Word provide exceptional value to society, but I'm not convinced that Microsoft was entirely necessary for that to happen. Then again, windows, task manager, recycle bin, start menu, etc. etc.

If you took a few minutes to consider that I may be a completely different person than the one you're conjuring up, you might have something more useful to say.

The goal is a 'normal job' which encourages me to learn through it's end impact. Further the goal is to take skills learned through developing for impact rather than profit and build something to draw enough of a salary on which has a disproportionate impact compared to it's cost. I want to be the driving factor, not be payed by or pay the driving factor.

Curious that ctrl+f 'climate' doesn't have a single hit before this comment, at 234 comments.

Since you mention a YC-like fund for activism projects, and at the risk of breaking a rule i may not be aware of (let me know) I'm gonna quote myself and hope you are interested or know people who may be interested

" OP here, actually floored by the rapidity and variety of responses. Thanks HN.

I'll take this opportunity to float an idea that's been kicking around in my head for a long time. The premise is to:

1) (this is almost certainly the easy part) build out a platform that is like a two-way khan academy - teacher and student, with at least the teacher having a tablet and a stylus that function well, sharing a digital blackboard, with a video chat optional -- where a student of something in a relatively privileged situation teaches a student of the same thing in a relatively less privileged situation -- where the sessions are stored and rewindable, both video and blackboard input.

2) the hard part; selling it as something to invest in and driving it to a point of having an endowment behind it, like Harvard's endowment, that allows the service to pay for moderation of student-teachers something like $12.00 USD an hour to teach, while subsidizing well-chosen students to have to pay something like $2 an hour to learn

it's been an idea for a passion project for a while "

And yet, there must be a supply of hackers to which you donate that money.

I'll admit that I didn't read the link that you shared. However, I'd like to assert that I feel fuzzies yield utilons to the individual in a similar manner as utilons yield fuzzies, each requiring refinement in their acquisition to be optimal. I think it's a more-grey area than your comment or the title of the article you linked implies (having not read said article).

I guess I have the advantage of starting out with close to a decade of low wages doing something that I enjoy ;)... I'm definitely attracted to billboard tech wages -- but I really could get by pretty comfortably with half were I building something I had faith in.

I'm skeptical of the premise (sounds self-helpy) but I'm gonna check it out. Thanks for the recommendation and I'm completely open to being wrong!

If you're located somewhere near Seattle, I would recommend going in to Central Co-Op and trying to talk to them about their story and business needs.
