Hi, yakattak. Like you, I also created my HN account in 2010.
Browsing HN stopped making me happy years ago.
Searching HN for individual comments that include jargon that is indicative of knowledge relating to my interests does make me happy. I search HN multiple times per day using a search shortcut that uses the following URL:
Can you provide examples of sources of information that MAGA considers neutral? The MAGA in my extended family who live in rural America think that scientists promote evolution solely because they're God-hating atheists who are trying to convince Christian children that God doesn't exist.
>> Infrastructure should aim to be bland, try to stay on the lagging end of controversies, and aim for universal support. Trying to use it to win some controversy just makes it vulnerable.
> Can you provide examples of sources of information that MAGA considers neutral?
You're missing the point. I'm talking about how common institutions should behave in a diverse society. Like I said: stay on the lagging end of controversies (e.g. avoid controversial issues until they're truly settled) and aim for universal support (e.g. have good representation of all the factions and their points of view). It's not about what "sources of information" faction X "considers neutral," it's about not egregiously and one-sidedly poking faction X in support of faction Y. Give both factions reasons to like and support you. Maybe it's not full-hearted support, but that's a hell of a lot better than opposition.
> I personally don’t think I care if a blog post is AI generated or not.
0% of your HN comments include URLs for sources that support the positions and arguments you've expressed at HN.[1] Do you generally not care about the sources of ideas? For example, when you study public policy issues, do you not differentiate between research papers published in the most prestigious journals and 500-word news articles written at the 8th-grade level by nonspecialist nobodies?
> When I was a fresh engineer I used a pretty vanilla shell environment. When I got a year or two of experience, I wrote tons of scripts
Does this mean that you learned to code to earn a paycheck? I'm asking because I had written hundreds of scripts and Emacs Lisp functions to optimize my PC before I got my first job.
You can do that today. But there was a no episode in history where that would have bene the norm or more likely than it is today. Anecdotes are just that.
The only place I can think of giving pensions at that age anymore is the military. And you aren’t getting a fat pension without being an officer which requires a degree
