Great explanation of the issues here: https://medium.com/incerto/the-masks-masquerade-7de897b517b7
I'm reminded of Naseem Taleb's statement that when you measure a table with a ruler, you are also measuring the ruler with the table.
Oof, claiming there is only one tool in the toolbox. Painful.
Your hometown street is one data point. There's a huge spectrum to choose from between that and Bay area/London. This feels like a false dichotomy.
Sounds like you were looking for more of a college town vibe. Austin, Athens, Madison, etc.
Even with a great tech salary, your wealth is NOT noteworthy at the local bank. The amount of ego in this thread is impressive!
The point about insurance is not accurate. In some low-lying areas, these statements are accurate, but even in coastal areas it is far more common to have a finished 1st floor with the standard insurance rules. It all…
It's his job to direct traffic through the space, I'm sure they understand that he knows best when and how to do the work.
seriously...it's like the HN Drinking Game in here
His management is thoughtful! Plotters are cheap, but the entire chain of events leading to an effective sign being installed is almost certainly higher than this one guy spending a few hours on a sign.
Does HN have direct messages??? I'd like to share information about grades and time spent in lms! Drop me a line at zorak8me@gmail.com.
Design Thinking is just solving problems (and creating new solutions) from the end-user's perspective. Some people are naturally good at it, but others need some structure to make it happen.
Waldorf is all about fostering imagination, so they try to limit anything that comes with a pre-defined set of ideas that tell you how to interact with it. A plastic firetruck already has an identity; an unfinished wood…
Swear jar is a great analogy. Also, that'll be $2. It's a game mechanic that encourages people to be more thoughtful about how they think about a problem. Not perfect, like the swear jar, but it has some value in…
I think the biggest factor in the success of those schools isn't any specific policy. It's the selection bias. These kids have at least one parent/guardian that cares enough to put in the minimal effort required to get…
The Dunning-Kruger is strong in this thread. So many misconceptions!
May I ask how you are defining 'social network'? I'm guessing you and op have different pictures in your heads about what makes a social network, as opposed to a simple forum.
Glad to read this. I thought I might be the only one picking up on the irony here. I mean, come on. He JUST read about D-K, then demonstrates it in action.
I just want to be clear... Are you implying that the author doesn't understand the difference between different measures of central tendency?
I have seen D-K written about in the context of beginner-experts; people that don't have more knowledgeable peers to help them see the limitations of what they know (think one-man IT team in a small company, or angry…
