It's true he's just a comedian, but his comedy goes deeper than your run of the mill midlife crisis jokes at the comedy cellar or whatever.

Just like Bill Hicks, he's a political comedian that reveals hard to stomach truths. Unlike Bill Hicks who creates an abstract persona (of a particular kind of bigot, etc.) and then critiques it, Cohen astonishingly shows you a concrete instance.

Cheney autographed a milk jug he was convinced was used for waterboarding. Saying a joke about this on stage would be pretty funny, but Cheney himself autographed a waterboarding milk jug on camera and lamented about how much it would be worth as a collectors item.
key word being international I assume. Which country doesn't have you fetch your bags and go through customs on entering it? (purely transit between international flights excluded sometimes)
>"On Ferguson’s very first day, a passenger from East Africa opened her suitcase to reveal rotting dried fish covered in hundreds of tse tse larvae. When they jumped out and clung to Ferguson’s vest, the flustered woman reached across the counter and started eating them off his uniform."

I am East African and would equally find that repugnant just as he did. Earlier tonight l came across this tweet(1). The insects shown seem to be delicacy on the other side of my country. I come from the same part as the gentleman tweeting.

IIRC free space on the outer volume has to be continuous―normally at the end of the fs. I.e. the volume will look like it's not used too extensively. Which I guess may or may not look suspicious depending on your claimed use-case.
If you haven't got it yet, I'd recommend the 7-in-7 book on languages (https://pragprog.com/book/btlang/seven-languages-in-seven-we...). It covers the 5 of the languages you mention and could help you determine which one you'd want to go in more depth on.

Hope you're healed up from your adventures btw.

I asked someone for advice on whether or not I should tell my salary if asked during a interview or by a recruiter over the phone. My friend said, tell them. Big mistake.

It was early on my career so I was making 40K. I applied for a job that I could do with my eyes closed. I aced the interview with flying colors. Then I got a call a day after the interview from HR and the first question was "May I ask what your current salary is?" I told them. Now before I say anything someone from within the company recommended me. He told me that the average for that position and title for the company is 55-65K.

The HR person low balled me at 45K. We talked and the highest she was willing to go was 48K, she would NOT budge above that. I did the standard, let me think about it and I'll get back to you. Called her back a few days later, with my case and she still would not budge, so I turned it down.

Don't mistaken, until they give you the offer and you are filling out HR forms, do not tell them your salary, that doesn't mean lie just tell them you dont want to reveal it. One of the things I have done is give them a range if they are really pushy, usually a huge range just to make a point that I dont want to reveal it.

I've had something similar happen to me at a Microsoft interview. The interviewer asked me a question I explicitly knew the answer to, and it too wasn't "my" answer to the problem but the one I've heard in another interview. So I just told him: "I know this one. Can you ask me something else?" He told me he appreciated my honesty, and didn't have any other questions.

I got the job.
Ah, thanks, I missed that part.

Why didn't they just include Flex / AIR in the AS results? There's clearly a strong enough connection to do so.
It doesn't hurt them. It fails to help them, which isn't quite the same thing. What we need is a way to compensate creators that doesn't require damaging the social utility of their work.

Just for everyone's notification Bookflavor is currently not delivering any book results. I am aware of this. Unfortunately it is because this post received considerably more attention than I originally expected and the API usage limits of 2000 requests per hour have been reached.

Edit: The service is back now. I'm working on a better caching solution to lower the number of hits on the API.

Edit #2: Okay, I have a more permanent solution. Bookflavor now serializes and caches API responses locally, then hits the cache and unserializes them if possible rather than hitting the Amazon API. Hopefully it won't exceed the limits this hour. Another advantage is that hitting the local disk cache is much faster than communicating with Amazon's servers.

Thanks for helping me load test Bookflavor everyone!

There's no good way to easily gauge scheme with this site. At first I typed in "scheme programming language" and came up with 250 results, "scheme lisp" provided something slightly more relevant, but with only 45. I didn't scroll through, but even then they were only asking for people with experience in scheme (among other languages that aren't de jour, like smalltalk).
I had that as well. No strange IP addresses are listed as having accessed it, so I assume it's safe.
Hurricane Electric has a nice little widget that shows how many IPv4 addresses are left for allocation.

The site is http://ipv6.he.net/

I was reading somewhere that there are still a pretty decent number of allocated but unused addresses available out there that will still need to be used but that can't go on forever.

It's hard to say what will actually happen when we do start to run short, though. I doubt it will have any noticeable impact on the average consumer, though.

Ah, you're correct. I made a mistake (that I make far too often), conflating the words "heritability" and "hereditary". Such factors are socially heritable. But manfredo was incorrect to say that "We know that IQ is hereditary.", we don't, really. We observe that it is heritable, but the extent to which that is social, genetic, or epigenetic is not clear. Apologies.

That said, there's also epigenetics, which hurts my brain.

> In any case, is it really controversial that intelligence is at least partially influenced by genes?

Broadly speaking, no (like obviously, in some sense it is, right?), but most common attempts to measure intelligence don't really do a good job of deciding what intelligence is. This can be fine if you're trying to draw conclusions about individuals that are generally culturally homogenous (if you're comparing solely amongst a group of pro basketball players, the one with the best bench press is probably above average, even if it isn't really a great judge of basketball skill), but not when trying to compare athleticism between a group made up of basketball players and powerlifters.
Could you share what are these bio hacker spaces, for example?
Literally the only advantage of a laser turntable is that they don't wear out the disc with repeated plays. They are worse in literally every other respect, especially sound quality, since they have no method of pushing dirt and dust out of the groove, so the record has to be perfectly clean, which is essentially impossible.

I'm not an expert but as someone who finds benefit from low-carbing my understanding is: if you raise sugar levels then you raise insulin levels, and at some point if your insulin is chronically raised you lose some sensitivity to the hormone (similar to how you can get tolerant to caffeine from drinking too much coffee etc), and being 'insulin resistant' can lead to many health issues.
This is why WISPs are so location specific. With the right geography, population density, etc it can work but we don’t have these companies going nationwide.

I think the current finance era may come to be viewed in the same light as the fire-fighting practices of the past century. Always working to prevent the little fires leaves the forest unhealthy and sets up an eventual inferno that no one can control.
Basically yea. Swallow your privilege and accept that people and their families need to eat, and they can’t wait decades for their situation to get better, they have to eat now. And if that means a species must go extinct, so be it.

Unless you want to say the lives of some obscure animal you only see in photos and will probably forget about after a few days anyway is more important than human beings like you and me, maybe you shouldn’t judge.

I'll give it a try: maybe it's because someone made an off-hand comment about Tesla shipping a default password, and you chimed in with an apologetic post that reads a lot like astro-turfing?

>did this with almost zero paid marketing

Traditional marketing. Tesla spends millions on marketing annually, it's right there in their financials. Just recently a pile of pro-Tesla Twitter bot accounts were banned. Did you know that Tesla is paying people to post messages on social media?
Larger organizations (by size and longevity) tend to have staff that predate the data science and ML/AI hype train and have therefore worked out more robust tooling. Unfortunately the popularity of ML is driving a lot of adoption of trendy but not necessarily best practices.
Nice list. Thanks. I’m gonna clip that an ruminate on it a bit. I dispute 10 strongly, tho’. Our projects are largely built collectively, for collections of people and machines; use community derived patterns and practices; are typically too large to keep the whole thing in (human) working memory; are better with code-review.
Thanks for the reference! I found LTMI's registration in Delaware (file numbers 6362713 and 5806497; 4797091 looks unrelated). I see how this doc says Kape is acquiring LTM, but Freenode's announcement specifically says it's coming under PIA. Other things line up, like Christel being the Freenode admin and PIA Chief Communications Officer, even writing a blog post about this acquisition: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2019/11/the-conti...

Besides this document's omission, what leads you to think Freenode is not part of PIA?

Edit: I'm not trying to make an ad hominem here, but I see in an earlier comment you describe yourself as the CEO of irc.com, which is also a PIA project (in some sense - again, I don't know the legal relationship or if there's a separate entity). So it sounds like you know what you're talking about, and I hope you can help find or make public some material support for the claim that Freenode is unaffected by this.
> If there are others who might want to help the project by investigating the bugs and/or fixing them, they are very welcome. For any fixes merged to the project, I will be grateful to the contributors and as a token of gratitude, I will mention their names in the README and thank them.

Your claim doesn't match your intent really. Some of your repos have long(many months) old issues with zero interaction from you yet I see activity in commit history.

For small projects like yours, there might be first-time contributors who look up to an author. If you don't interact, they'll get demotivated. If you don't want to interact, leave a comment on your README that "hey am super busy, send a PR with proper tests and may be I'll look when am free, no promises!". :) A little kindness goes a long way.
Just to elaborate on the above: https://thebridgehead.ca/2018/11/26/noam-chomsky-and-the-ant...

> The fact that people agree to it and are paid,” Chomsky replied, “is about as convincing as the fact that we should be in favor of sweat-shops in China where women are locked into a factory and work fifteen hours a day and the factory burns down and they all die. Yeah, they were paid and they consented, but that doesn’t make me in favor of it.

Is there a theoretical abstraction in which pornography and the pornography industry isn’t degrading and abusive to women? Maybe. But the amount of degradation and abuse in the real pornography industry is pretty good evidence that theory and practice aren’t syncing up.

As a formerly sex-positive liberal man, reading Andrea Dworkin’s “Right Wing Women” was revelatory.
I worked at Bridgewater, and while there are things I disliked about it, this piece is not at all fair and does not capture what it is actually like to work there.

The Federal Reserve increased its balance sheet by about 6 trillion USD since March 2020.

There is no risk when you have the US Gov't backing you!

Federal Reserve literally backing individual corporations at this point. Where's the risk?
How will they confiscate those BTC gains? They are literally relying on an honor system to report holdings today. Maybe this will change and they will come after those who are suspected to be holding BTC due to purchase records from KYC compliant services that IRS could get their hands on. Then what? Show up with their guns to coerce you or throw you in a cage until you fess up? The tax code mess becomes totally impossible post hyperbitcoinization. Bitcoin frees the tax slaves. You thought abolition was just for history books?
It's the poison pill that Amazon/Walmart/et cetra have injected into the conversation to make sure they keep on top. Unless you think that all the top 1% have adopted identity politics out of the goodness of their hearts? It's just classic divide and conquer strategy. It's no coincidence that identity politics is so popular with the relatively affluent tech community who dont want to take a good hard look at themselves.

I remember seeing a meme the other day about two justice systems in America, one black kid getting held for 3 months in jail, while a white kid with a more serious charge got out on bail immediately. Of course the meme framed it as a racial issue. The actual root cause was ya know, the white kid has a family who could pay or put up the bail while the black kid didn't, which means it was income inequality issue. But it sure seems there's a dedicated group that really really wants you to think its a racial issue.

And that you should spend your precious time, political capital, and energy fighting that racial issue over the wealth inequality one. And that you shouldn't ever ever ally with someone who would work with you on the inequality issue but disagrees with you about it being a racial one, because they are an icky nazi.

I wonder what exact group of people benefits from this perfectly engineered storm of division?

Trump got elected due to ultimately populist anger over wealth inequality. But telling a poor struggling white family that they are privileged is a great recipe for them to ignore actually prescriptive solutions to their problems and turn to people like Trump.

Ultimately, it's wearing on you. Because it's supposed to wear on you. It's supposed to remind you what happened to the kulaks last time income inequality was addressed. And not so subtly remind you that white men are the kulaks of the modern age.

>intentionally do not teach money management skills as it makes people harder to fleece.

Yeah, this is a perfect example of "don't attribute to malice what is equally explainable by incompetence."

I'm not talking about the incompetence of teachers. I'm talking about the incompetence of the system, and it's inflexibility towards change. This is not caused by malice. It's caused by is being completely unable to effectively handle the millions of different perspectives of "what education should be."

You talk about indoctrination of a country, but I don't think it's indoctrination at all. It's people clinging to their views and being completely hostile to the idea that they might not understand important parts of the system. It's people turning to ideology instead of engaging with the actual complexity of the world.

Seems fair, through "less insecure" would be generally more appropriate (independent of it being Zoom).

But then I have lost all trust in Zoom due to the history involved with it. And I also don't thing Zoom will regain the trust, because due to the way they lost trust again and again and also acted in-honest it's pretty hard for them to convey that they changed (instead of just pretending they did).
This is, in essence, the crux of the problem. With your level of education it shouldn't be at all difficult to find a resource that answers your questions. Instead you've sought out two comic strips and two extremely ideological sources.

The basics of climate change can be taught standing on one foot. Carbon dioxide absorbs IR radiation, while oxygen and nitrogen are transparent to it. There was an equilibrium between visible light hitting the earth, being absorbed, and being reemitted as IR. We've doubled the amount of CO2, so you would expect twice as much of that heat to be retained. Compare it to the surface of the moon, which is at the same distance from the sun as us, but is on average well below freezing. CO2 isn't the only factor, but we've changed the equilibrium by doubling it.

That's it. It's very, very simple. The reason it produces only yelling is because it's been said so many trillions of times that if you haven't seen it, it's because you're not looking. There's no sane counter-argument: more CO2 produces more heat. It couldn't not do so.

The economics of why that's a problem is more complicated, but we've spent so much effort fighting anti-science attempts to deny really basic, obvious, trivial chemistry that we don't get to the even slightly non-trivial parts. The slightly non-trivial parts are "Yes, if you raise the temperature 4 degrees F it's going to make a lot of marginally livable places unlivable, and many millions of people will die. Also, some of that carbon dioxide becomes carbonic acid when absorbed by the oceans, which isn't good for sea life. Also, you know that weather is a chaotic system, and changing the energy balance of it causes changes to what meta-stable parts do exist, requiring substantial changes to the lifestyles of people there."

Again, this has all been said thousands of times. If it helps to have somebody explain it to you, great. But you also know that I'm about to be overrun with Gish Gallopers trotting out repeated-refuted objections, and to a casual observer it's going to look like I can't keep up and therefore must be wrong. And the only way to decide for yourself is the one thing you don't want to do: as you say, you're not an expert and don't want to become one.

So I'm really not sure what to do, and I'm pretty sure I've just wasted my virtual breath. I really think that my second paragraph should have put an end to this, and you can imagine my frustration that it doesn't.
Considering Prince Andrew exists, it's a false statement.
He implies that Grunt is dead on the first slide. Well don't I feel stupid since I still use it. I guess it's not cool anymore? I missed the memo. Wait, maybe I'm not cool? What do the cool kids use now instead of Grunt?
My own anecdote as an immigrant is that I've always felt welcome here and have always been well treated, respected, and valued.

Totally different route of course, but same deal in terms of falling in love with the country. This is really home for me. America has given me much more than my birth country ever did, and my birth country was on multiple occasions a lot of more hostile to me, a citizen, than America has ever been to me as a non-citizen.

I'm currently seeking citizenship and have no qualms about swearing to uphold the Constitution and to defend the country if called to it.
