https://xkcd.com/2501/ Munroe's Law of Average Familiarity: Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity …

The action item isn't easy if everyone has to individually remember it going forward. An easy action item would be to add a lint rule to prevent the X function from getting checked…

I forsee an addition to this diagram with "the chat tab of a shared fossil repo", as one of the completely isolated bubbles to the side https://xkcd.com/1810/

I think the article handles both cases (timeouts and the first error) by cancelling the other running async operations as quickly as it can.

This article focuses entirely on people regulating their own decisions to share an article, not any attempt by a "tool wielder" to selectively block any content. To put their study…

The allied forces did not storm Omaha beach on D-Day to openly discuss Nazism, in case you weren't aware

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/marjorie-taylor-gree... Blonde, sure, but IDK if I'd call her hair straw.

> This is just a few people explaining how they de-radicalized. Now imagine the opposite How do you downplay "a few people" saying one thing, without giving even a single example o…

That's a circular argument. If journalists actually understood the distinction and explained it, more people would see the distinction after reading their articles.

> Some apps, like Facebook, allow for some data tracking to be manually disabled. But by default, it is turned on. That gives the company reams of personal data on who we are and w…

Thank you! > I'm so totally impressed at this Way New Development Paradigm. Let's call it the "Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers" model, or "CADT" for short. Sounds like the c…

I like that orthagonal suggests that they definitely intersect, but go in two different directions. Unrelated is too harsh in most of the situations you'd use orthagonal.

When the whole conversation starts by talking about environmental externalities, you don't get to hide behind totally-not-criminals who are happy to pay the cost to avoid regulatio…

You're still (intentionally?) missing the point. There is no such thing as an "accurate descriptor of political leanings". There are words useful to describe groups of people from …

There isn't a single term used for a political group that you can break down into sub-components and root words to understand what it means. The best you can get will be the origin…

Facebook has claimed to have proved the opposite; at least in terms of political preferences, their study said that you're exposed to people of the opposite party more often online…
