Interesting, but after my initial impressions I predict the results of the experiment will be "this is why we can't have nice things"
Yep. Just took a look and the top post is just someone writing the n-word over and over.

I run a very small operation but when I see people struggle with hiring, it’s often because they haven’t actually figured out what works best for their particular organization. Aside from a few very broad baselines, there aren’t any good general answers to ‘how to prevent bad hires’ because the answers depend so much on what you are hiring for and what the organization is trying to do.

I learned from my therapist to stop trying to change my behavior based on how I predict other people will feel. If someone has expressed a clear boundary that is one thing, but otherwise I will not assume “I texted too much already I don’t want to bother them” or “I shouldn’t say the thing that’s on my mind they probably don’t want to hear it.” I still need to keep track of when I am genuinely talking too much around people sensitive to that (I check in with people, and it varies per person based on conversational styles) but now I allow myself to express what I want to express and I have a lot less anxiety about what other people think. My therapist describes the tendency to modify our behavior based on the predicted comfort of others as codependency or people pleasing, which might be useful things to research. Changing yourself is not easy or trivial, but over the course of time, we can change and grow a lot in life. Doing so has been a decades long effort but I am so much better with social interactions these days, and it has been quite rewarding to get here.
I learned to do this a few years ago and it is easily one of the most freeing things I’ve ever done. Funny thing is, before I had thought of myself as someone who was just really empathetic and justified my behavior as being concerned about the well-being of others. But now it’s clearer to me that I wasn’t actually paying attention to how others actually felt but was mostly making a ton of assumptions in efforts to avoid my own discomfort.

I still think old school linear forums are the best format for online discussion. They’re not perfect by any means, but I think they still beat all the alternatives I’ve tried.
The old school forums also centered around a single topic or interest, which I think helped keep things focused and more civil. Part of the problem with social media is that it wants to be everything for everyone.

To online safety for children? The same as offline safety; parenting and education. There's not much money in those though.
Making content restrictions easier for parents to implement would help a ton — like being able to block all sites in a browser and create a whitelist of the ones kids are allowed to access. Similar whitelisting should be available and easy to implement for YouTube and social media. Having to individually block each site/video/profile you don’t want your kid to access is a futile game of whack a mole.
I’m not disagreeing with this, but early (like very early 1900’s) Ford vehicles had a little brass plaque with the serial number and some wording that if you misused the vehicle Ford could force you to forfeit it back to them. This concept is as old as the horseless carriage itself.
The 1900 equivalent then would be if Ford showed up at your house and removed the car’s starter. Making the thing you own functionally useless (while you still own it) seems categorically different to me than repossession in violation of a contract.
Yet of all the traffic accidents, the one you describe never happens. So it’s not much difference
It does happen, it happened to me — a driver was distracted (because they were texting while driving) and they veered from the traffic flow and I was hit at 40 mph. The EMS worker who responded to the scene told me two things: 1. They almost never pull people alive from this kind of accident, 2. This kind of head-on, no brakes, distracted driver accident was happening more and more. This was 10 years ago.
"Figma is what all the designers are using. If they turn that into a Claude for design and add the ability to complete the wireframes with AI generated code"
You can literally do this NOW without needing figma
Yeah, but I think the point is that designers are already using figma. There’s no mass exodus of designers from figma looking for an AI solution to replace it. So figma has a large paying base to which it can introduce AI generated code (which it has done to some degree already anyway).
