Climatologist in radio said in an interview the other day that sea level could rise 3cm to 10m in the next X years. Follow up question was, of course, "What happens at 10m sea rise." There is definitely some tendency all around to be hyperbolic.
It's not a social network design issue. It's a social issue of actual humans. Our society, currently, rewards outrage amd sensitivity as opposed to reason and the free exchange of ideas. We are essentially in a post enlightenment phase moving towards new forms of regressive authoritarianism.
Boo hoo. It's not that bad. Knuckle down and learn some shit. Crikey, some of us learned this stuff before a crowd sourced 90,000 word wiki and versioned online code repository was commonplace for a 200 line library. AND get off my lawn!!
"Got us wrong" implies a fundamental inaccuracy in the concept. There is not a fundamental inaccuracy in the concept. Clarification is need to explain the nuance.
In regards to interpretations of their own work. They have largely spoken at arms length from what I've seen and the book was popular enough to have lots of comments made via reporterst etc. I'm not claiming some conspiracy, just the nature of these things.
To specifically address criticisms. One of then claim that deliberate practice is only 1/3 of the result. Gladwell, in his clarification, and original statements did not claim that deliberate practice was the only component. That was the misunderstanding from his book, not his intent.

You seem to be arguing semantics more than nuance. You aren't trying to say that practice doesn't matter. Right? Instead, it is debatable how much it differentiates the absolute best from those just below?
If so, I think the "No evidence" is a bit strong in this case. We may lack what would commonly be considered "proof" but there are good indications that practice matters.
Except Gladwell didn't "get us wrong". People who read Gladwell and misinterpreted it "got us wrong". Gladwell has spoken repeatedly and clarified his book statements, Though if you read it closely there isn't much clarification needed.
Is she really pledging to create a committee to discuss the wording of a possible amendment to discuss the potential inclusion of an alteration of an amendment to be submitted to the committee for the discussion of an amendment? That sounds more like Clinton to me.
They just applied the approach that browsers have to the OS. Now everyone is freaking out, which is largely legitimate, but it is hard to argue that there is not a non trivial positive result for everyone to standardize on a Windows platform if you use Windows.
Yes, I've been developing websites since before JS existed, so it does in fact make me happy that JS has made some progress related to developer productivity in 20 years. Are they adding other baggage? It seems so, but the addition of a standard library is a things well past its time.
