500 | null | null | Going off-grid is really expensive unless you're willing to make significant quality of life cuts when you go outside your system capacity. A string of overcast days that only produce 50% of normal, or a series of hot or cold days that drive large A/C or Heat Pump usage can put you in a situation where you are shedding load during the day so you can bridge across the overnight period.<p>I expect it's just probably doable in a really temperate climate like SF, where you can live without running heating or cooling year-round and try to get your other electric usage way down, but anywhere with hot summers or cold winters is going to risk battery depletion. | null | secabeen | null | 1,650,499,310 | "2022-04-21T00:01:50Z" | comment | 31,104,611 | 31,103,366 | null | null | null |

520 | null | null | As far as I know, he makes quite a few unfounded claims here. Note that I am not trying to defend the authors who try to line up Buddhism with modern, Western, secular values, however I do not necessarily subscribe to these values, though I may appreciate them. I subscribe to the Buddhist morality as far as I understand it, and I am not rigid in this.<p>>Details depend on the tradition, but commonly verboten are solo and partner masturbation, oral and anal sex, sex between men, sex during daytime, and sex with a woman who is pregnant or nursing.<p>I know of no prohibitions for laypeople of this kind in Theravada, which is the second-largest "denomination" of Buddhism. However, I am willing to say that what defines sexual misconduct (one of the five precepts observed by lay Theravada Buddhists) isn't clear, and may just be left to interpretation.<p>>Abortion is murder, and sends you straight to hell.<p>I don't know where this is mentioned, again at least within Theravada.<p>>Slavery<p>In his 9th footnote, he writes:<p>>In Buddhist literature of all varieties, stock descriptions of wealth, even that gifted to the Buddha, regularly include both male and female slaves along with silver, gold, fields, livestock, and so on.<p>In the Digha Nikaya, in the section "The analysis of virtue", and the subsection "The short section on virtue", we find this in the tenth point[0]:<p>>'The recluse Gotama [...] abstains from accepting uncooked grain, raw meat, women and girls, male and female slaves, goats and sheep, fowl and swine, elephants, cattle, horses and mares.'<p>This is where one would speak in praise of the Buddha, so I think the message would be that he sets an example. It's clearly presented as a bad quality, something that a recluse or brahmin shouldn't do.<p>Furthermore, there is the Sigalovada Sutta, which declares that a layperson, taking someone into employment ("servants and employees", the author of the article touches on the fact that it's hard to distinguish), should master them as such:
(i) by assigning them work according to their ability,
(ii) by supplying them with food and with wages,
(iii) by tending them in sickness,
(iv) by sharing with them any delicacies,
(v) by granting them leave at times.<p>>According to scripture, the Buddha himself (after enlightenment) accepted slaves as gifts to the sangha, and he did not free them.<p>I haven't found any trace of this, but I can only really Google for it. The author hasn't provided a citation for this point, but it seems to be in contradiction to the Digha Nikaya I mentioned earlier.<p>Edit: I read through the comments on the article and I found that the author mentions some work by Schopen and he says:<p>>One of the scriptures he quotes is Bhesajja-khandhaka in the Pali Vinaya, which I’ve linked at Sutta Central.<p>Schopen discusses the Bhesajja-khandhaka and makes points that could show it is not authentic, such as the environment in which the text is set[2]. The author has tried to use a text that is disputed in Schopen's work as evidence that the Buddha accepted slaves.<p>>Large monasteries maintained standing armies, and sometimes went to war with each other, secular powers, or foreigners. Monks have routinely exerted political pressure on secular authorities to go to war.<p>I think it's important that he must distinguish Buddhism from Buddhists, when talking about actual events in history.<p>On his fifth point about women in Buddhism, he writes:<p>>It’s partly the fault of other, patriarchal religions being mixed in [irrelevant because the “original, pure” Buddhism did not teach equality]<p>I don't think this is irrelevant at all. As far as I know, the authenticity of the Eight Garudhammas is questionable. Sujato Bhikkhu has made a nice FAQ about the nuns[1] which counters some of the points the author makes about women in Buddhism.<p>Funnily enough, at the end he writes:<p>>As Medieval morality goes, traditional Buddhism is surprisingly good. Many of its moral positions are correct.<p>"Correct"? How has he discovered this correctness? It seems that this whole essay has been judging Buddhist morality not as simply something medieval, but as something non-Western and containing things that are "morally incorrect".<p>There are some Buddhists who say that the Buddha's words, after enlightenment, are wholly true, and that whatever the Buddha said, even though it may not seem fair or just or moral to us, there is a reason for this or that rule, or a statement. Basically, "he knew something we don't know, and he didn't explain it".<p>[0] <a href="http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/dn/dn.01.0.bodh.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/dn/dn.01.0.bodh.html</a><p>[1] <a href="http://santifm.org/santipada/2010/bhikkhuni-faq/" rel="nofollow">http://santifm.org/santipada/2010/bhikkhuni-faq/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=qW9Sn-cJd-0C&pg=PA196&lpg=PA196&dq=Bhesajja-khandhaka&source=bl&ots=G7wzMBe7vY&sig=JqJpEXB9Iu1c0MCBSPKM6ixRlQA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjtzJfd_rvJAhVGKQ8KHRTiA64Q6AEIQzAF#v=onepage&q=Bhesajja-khandhaka&f=false" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=qW9Sn-cJd-0C&pg=PA196&lp...</a> (pp. 195-206) | true | ue_ | null | 1,449,018,241 | "2015-12-02T01:04:01Z" | comment | 10,660,150 | 10,648,229 | null | null | null |

Remote debugging doesn't seem to work with Chrome Apps running under NW.js at the moment - the inspector just gives me an empty response for each page I try to access.

536 | null | null | > Is it that much of a surprise that psychoactive drugs treat psychogenic symptoms?<p>The surprising part is the growing narrative that these psychoactive drugs are basically miracle cures without downsides.<p>Drugs like LSD are being explored as adjuncts to intense therapy spanning many sessions, but the pop-science portrayal of these drugs ignores that intense therapy and instead imagines that tripping on mushrooms or LSD is a cure for psychiatric illness. It also ignores the fact that bad trips are a very real possibility and worsening of psychiatric illness is not uncommon among illicit users of these drugs. There are plentiful reports of psychedelics causing weeks or months of dysphoria or even precipitating long-lasting episodes of major depression, and it’s not hard to find them either.<p>If we want to get anywhere with these substances, we need to quit exaggerating their positive effects and downplaying their negatives. That’s a setup for failure when they’re further studied and the reality can’t match the unreasonably loft pop-culture presentation of these drugs as miracle cures that act alone without any downsides.<p>It is, as the grandparent comment said, reminiscent of the early days of opioids when we were bombarded with stories about how they were miracle cures without downsides. The truth is that they’re helpful in controlled circumstances but can be harmful when overdosed or prescribed without supervision, which doesn’t sound that different then the situation with drugs like ketamine. | null | PragmaticPulp | null | 1,628,364,700 | "2021-08-07T19:31:40Z" | comment | 28,101,189 | 28,100,934 | null | null | null |

539 | null | null | Buffett very rarely uses such absolutes in a literal way. He has said to buy with a mindset that you plan to hold a stock forever. It's meant as a mental tool, to keep you from over-trading, bouncing in and out of positions too frequently. It's meant to spur greater discipline and better investigation of what you're buying.<p>He's very much an advocate of selling if the situation warrants it.<p>He frequently sells stocks and doesn't need the money. He dumped his airline holdings (he owned 10% of all the majors) during the pandemic while sitting on ~$130 billion in cash. He sold a large chunk of Wells Fargo recently (a stock he has liked for a long time). He previously bought and sold Oracle, IBM, Walmart, and so on. He has made several mistakes messing with oil companies, including a bad one with ConocoPhillips in 2006 before the commodity bubble crash.<p>Buffett is always willing to sell, under two scenarios: 1) he comes to the conclusion that he was wrong in the assessment that prompted the purchase (a mistake on his part, as in Conoco); 2) something substantial changes about the the company or its context for the negative (or otherwise in a way that he isn't able to understand, something outside his lane). | null | adventured | null | 1,596,363,362 | "2020-08-02T10:16:02Z" | comment | 24,027,681 | 24,027,024 | null | null | null |

Let us leave aside the question of the morality of the act that you hypothesize we might eventually decide to commit, and assume it is immoral. (I phrase it this way since these "unintended consequences" don't follow as a matter of fact but require people to decide to perform them.) Even if we in future might end up deciding to commit an immoral act, that is no justification to continue committing the present immoral act. | null | jhanschoo | null | 1,596,363,358 | "2020-08-02T10:15:58Z" | comment | 24,027,680 | 24,026,732 | null | null | null |
541 | null | null | I don't want to discourage the author but, to be honest, what I see is nowhere close to what I figure would help me to learn Japanese. Questions I see on home page have nothing to do with learning - some about traveling around the country, some about translating "good morning", etc. True - I haven't registered. TBH though I don't see why should I.<p>When it comes to learning any language, but Japanese in particular, I can't thank enough to the guys who created Mass Immersion Approach web page[0]. Their method is based on Stephen Krashen's "language acquisition through comprehensible input"[1] and... it just works.<p>I've been learning Japanese in the classroom for around 2 years. I've been living in Japan for 5 years and my Japanese was rather mediocre. I've left Japan for a year and forgot a lot. Grammar is gone now, most sentence patterns are gone, mose kanji (and I've never been big on kanji) are gone.<p>Now, after 4 months of MIA I am better then I've ever been. If you truly want to learn the language - read the page, watch their YT videos[2], just do yourself a favor and stop wasting your time.<p>PS. I am not related. Just a happy learner.<p>[0] <a href="https://massimmersionapproach.com/" rel="nofollow">https://massimmersionapproach.com/</a><p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiTsduRreug" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiTsduRreug</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/MATTvsJapan/" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/c/MATTvsJapan/</a> | null | wst_ | null | 1,596,363,441 | "2020-08-02T10:17:21Z" | comment | 24,027,686 | 24,025,034 | null | null | null |

544 | null | null | I think the key difference, at least among most developers I work with, is that ORM has evolved from a complete abstraction of all relational querying, into more of a productivity tool that can be useful in certain circumstances.<p>The differences between something like Hibernate and something like ActiveRecord is pretty vast, at least in terms of usage, and I think one of the key learnings we've made since 2004 is that it's not practical or feasible to treat ORM as a silver bullet.<p>Honestly, no one should be surprised that ORM isn't a silver bullet. NoSQL isn't either - there's plenty of caveats that should be considered before deciding on using NoSQL. I'd still argue that about 80% of database interactions can be solved by a decent ORM. Anything that lets me ignore 80% of my trivial problems and focus on the 20% that's actually challenging is a net win in my book. | null | ryanbrunner | null | 1,360,939,629 | "2013-02-15T14:47:09Z" | comment | 5,226,372 | 5,226,119 | null | null | null |

547 | null | null | I wondered about this myself. I smoked throughout the 90s, but have been mostly nicotine free since. Recently I spent a few weeks experimenting with e-cigs to see if I could get the nicotine high that I remember enjoying without my body feeling like crap. No dice. Puffing on nice-tasting, pleasant smelling nicotine vapor still made my body feel like crap at times, just like it did when I smoked analog cigarettes. I didn't feel it in my lungs so much, but I did feel like my blood pressure was elevated and my heart was a bit fluttery, and once it gave me a rather bad headache. A few times it felt really nice, like I remembered, but mostly I felt like I was just chasing that feeling, and not really receiving the satisfaction I wanted.<p>I canceled the experiment and gave my gear to a friend who still smoked analog cigarettes. He's quite happy having switched. He tells me his sense of smell has returned and his smokers cough is lessened. I noticed he no longer smells like an ashtray. | null | spudlyo | null | 1,374,890,377 | "2013-07-27T01:59:37Z" | comment | 6,111,565 | 6,111,485 | null | null | null |

551 | null | null | I think it's fine to "learn" lots of languages, but you're going to be pretty bad at most of them. And I personally wouldn't be comfortable with building a system that will reach hundreds of thousands of LOC in the majority of the dozen or so languages I've "learned" over the years.<p>If you're really going to learn a language - as in, build idiomatic programs - its a constantly moving target and requires a lot of effort to maintain.<p>I think it's better to learn 2-3 languages, and have passing familiarity with others. People like to pretend that language choice solves all your problems, but usually you're talking in percentages: one language is a 80% fit for your problem, another is an 85% fit... there is never a 100% fit - are these differences worth working in a language you barely have any experience in? | null | bcrosby95 | null | 1,622,994,426 | "2021-06-06T15:47:06Z" | comment | 27,413,923 | 27,412,101 | null | null | null |

586 | null | null | >...Milton Friedman's biggest lie is a law,<p>You are misrepresenting what is called the Friedman doctrine. He didn't claim it was the law of the land. As the wikipedia article states:<p>>...The Friedman doctrine, also called shareholder theory or stockholder theory, is a normative theory of business ethics advanced by economist Milton Friedman which holds that a firm's main responsibility is to its shareholders.
This shareholder primacy approach views shareholders as the economic engine of the organization and the only group to which the firm is socially responsible. As such, the goal of the firm is to maximize returns to shareholders.[1] Friedman argues that the shareholders can then decide for themselves what social initiatives to take part in, rather than have an executive whom the shareholders appointed explicitly for business purposes decide such matters for them<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_doctrine" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_doctrine</a> | null | opo | null | 1,598,832,684 | "2020-08-31T00:11:24Z" | comment | 24,327,197 | 24,322,231 | null | null | null |

595 | null | null | A Lisp Machine is a real computer with a Lisp OS, applications, libraries and tools. An editor is just a part of that experience. But not the central part. Typically the environment of Lisp Machines was NOT written around the editor. They had a window/mouse/GUI oriented user interface with a lot of support for keyboard use. If you take for example the Lisp Listener in Symbolics Genera, it is not a Zmacs application and it does not use Zmacs in any way - other than that you can switch to Zmacs windows.<p>GNU Emacs is an editor written in some more primitive Lisp with extensive libraries and applications. It lacks the extensive low-level features, multi-threading, Flavors/CLOS etc of Zetalisp or Interlisp. GNU Emacs implements all their applications inside the editor. Lisp Machines did not do that.<p>If you've ever used a Lisp Machine, the look&feel was quite different from GNU Emacs. | null | lispm | null | 1,433,845,135 | "2015-06-09T10:18:55Z" | comment | 9,684,960 | 9,684,821 | null | null | null |
