I won’t call Bitcoin a success as long as its value is measured in dollars.

Can I use WebTransport for multi-tenant non-p2p video conferencing?

Outschool is hiring.

Outschool's mission is to inspire kids to love learning. We believe the best way to do that is by linking learning to kids’ interests (make it fun!) and giving them the autonomy to pick their own path. We provide small group classes that meet over live video chat where learners are connected with teachers and classmates who share their interests. These classes are offered through our marketplace and conducted on our remote learning platform.

Pretty bad written article. I wouldn’t give any credit.

This is not a fiasco, it is progress! I am sure they learned a lot. This is how science and engineering works. We keep forgetting that. Next time, I am sure they will do better.

I am a DDG user for 4 years or so, and had very few quality problems. When I am not happy with results, I check Google, too. Most of the time, though, Google returns similar results.

How do you test this in dev environment?

Try Mediterranean style breakfast: eggs, feta/greek/turkish cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumber/green pepper, and any kind of bread.

I don’t know how “minimal political hassle” and “China Model” can be used in the same sentence. Looks like censorship is working pretty well.

Sorry, but your argument does not make sense. People want all of the things you mentioned in all societies.

People who want to live in a modern democracy do not experience lots of political fights because they want it. It is because a modern democracy makes it all visible to all members of democracy that there are so many different voices, right or wrong. Other political systems try to hide that fact by either killing or censoring. And eventually all of them collapse.

Any current issues of modern democracies are “the current issues” that need to be solved. It is naive to say that there are systems that solve all problems. Not even close. I just prefer my system to not hide current problems in my society, so I can work on them.

That is true. I used the term democracy too broadly. Dispersion of power is crucial for the health and longevity of a democracy.

Your argument and supporting comments below are not new arguments against democracy. Democracies were always attacked both from outside and inside. No system is perfect but democracy has one big advantage: it is the only system that can learn from its mistakes and improve itself. For other systems, mistakes result in people suffering or dying in masses.

I couldn’t find anywhere including the article. NPR has a disclaimer though that one of their sponsors is Blue Apron.

The research reads so weak, though. For instance, they don’t count CO2 emission caused by transportation! They just bought the same ingredients at a grocery store, cooked the same meal themselves and compared the numbers! They also assume that you eat all of the meal kit.

So many assumptions, hard to replicate methods, arbitrary exclusions.

Even if this was not sponsored, pretty bad “research” anyways.

This is a very poorly written article, if not poorly done science. (See Criticism section of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Twenge)

Showing two graphs with opposite directions and claiming one is the cause of the other is not how one should present their claims.

It could be just the case that because of some other reason(s) teens spend less face-to-face time with their friends, and they spend more time on social media.

Beside, the second graph already shows high loneliness rates in 80s, too. Is this also because of social media which did not exist in 80s?

There can be so many other reasons for teens to feel depressed: economy, global warming, the increasing gap between rich and poor, mortgage crisis, and now student debt crisis, so on and on.

Please do not divert our attention to wrong reasons, or please make sure that you are really on top of your game.

Example dialogs in this article are without context. However, the responses that engineer got from founders or other teammates do not sound terrible to me in most contexts.

Most of the time, you shouldn't spend time on new shiny tech, like a new programming language. And you should really try hard to not urge adding more stuff to your stack, like a job queue server.

>> Founder's goals and your goals, as an engineer, will not be aligned most of the times.

This happens a lot and to be honest, I believe most engineers don't get it. Your goals should be aligned with the founders. If this is not the case, you shouldn't be in that startup. You don't do any good to yourself or to your team. Find another job.
