@hrefna how deep do I need to dig to find where he said this?

(assuming it's the usual guy who said this)

@hrefna it's honestly tragic how radical this sentiment has become

@hrefna *deep sigh*

@mattly hooray! We love to see it

@mattly I don't think it's rated yet. But the first one was rated T, and this seems very much the same

@mattly oh, yikes

@inthehands I guess I still don't see what the difference is. If you have some class, like:

class TableView : UIElement
{
new (ITableDataDelegate td)
public void RenderElement()
}

Does that provide the behavior you're looking for?

@inthehands This sounds like dependency injection? Is that what you're looking for?

@inthehands @jalcine It may not surprise you to know that I was extremely into the notion of circles at the time. But I didn't know how to social media at the time. And I wasn't very good at being a person, either. (those facts are related.) So it never came to anything.

@mattly i mean, that doesn't actually sound "ok"

But, uh, that would be understandable. Although, selfishly, I would rather have you in the field

@inthehands meanwhile, github imposes vendor security obligations on people just for having one commit in a non-trivial project

@mattly oh god, RIP your notifications

@mattly yeah 😞

But it's hard to do anything about that due to network effects. Assuming you want other people to contribute to a project

@inthehands my first thought is to remove the reply button from home feed posts where you don't follow the author. Or maybe always? Maybe no one needs to do drive by replies? Anyway, definitely make strangers click into the whole thread in order to reply.

@inthehands I hate how well this explains so many of the interactions on here. Now I'm trying to imagine how I could unflatten timeline views to make it more clear at what level a post could have been intended for the reader.

Like, I'm more welcoming of replies from my followers than total strangers. More still from mutuals, and people I've exchanged replies in the past. That kind of thing could feed into some UI nudges to remind people of the actual social distances involved.

@inthehands have I brought up my idea to separate the function of cops into exactly public safety and law enforcement?

Public safety would be an emergency service, empowered very narrowly to contain and end dangerous situations, and obligated to protect life, health, and property, in that order. They would have no investigative or law enforcement powers whatsoever.

And law enforcement would be like it sounds, but with no authority to use force or violence.

@mattly I don't even know how I feel about this book and its degree of believability. Like, it makes 2 little conceits. 1 is that the scenario is possible at all. And 2 is that it's survivable at all.

And I can grant those. But I needed it to go all the way. It has to make that worth it. And seveneves stops just short of all of the most interesting bits.

It should have been two books. That or the first half should have been a prologue and we just completely handwave the physics

@mattly There is something happening that induces some deeply rooted and powerful magical thinking around this concept. But I have not figured out what it is or how to disrupt it.

@inthehands I can easily believe it

@inthehands it is a little improbable, yeah. At full speed, EVSEs are channeling like 6kW of power. It's hard to imagine how only a tiny trickle of that goes to the body and also doesn't trip every cutoff in the whole chain. More likely they hooked it up to an arc welding rig.

But still, it's Tesla, and it's the incelcamino. If anything could be built this wrong, it's that.
