It gets easier. But unfortunately it's not just a matter of putting yourself in the situations more (you'll just get accustomed to how you feel so it won't get you down as much, but you'll still feel anxious and leave).

2 things helped me a lot: mindfulness (I read "A New Earth", YMMV) and the book "Learned Optimism". I can't recommend that book enough. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with anxiety, but it really does. Anxiety can come from a pessimistic outlook - the stories you make up for the things that go on around you that you don't have all the information on. For example, you say "it just feels like everyone is watching me". This most likely triggers thoughts like "everyone thinks I'm uncool" or "I must look so out of place" or "I'm so unattractive" etc. which makes you anxious about staying there, so you leave. And there begins the spiral or rabbit hole to debilitating anxiety, depression or feelings of worthlessness.

"Learned Optimism" is all about changing the stories you tell yourself about these situations, to nip those thoughts in the bud. There's a definite pattern to them, and it can be broken quite easily. I won't do it justice to try and explain it here, it's really best to read the book from the start and let it do the talking. Oh and check out this out: https://github.com/raganwald/presentations/blob/master/optim...
OH man, the itch is a really good analogy. I suddenly understand what is going on with Tourette's now. I mean, even discussing this topic I felt the need to scratch.

Prior to reading that analogy I just could not wrap my head around the "something they don't want to do but not actually involuntary."

The desire to scratch an itch explains it perfectly.
forgive my ignorance but in this context what does ISO stand for?
and you couldn't have shared a better link to express that opinion!
Yeah, that seems like a rather optimistic (from the oil industry's perspective) projection that electric cars will be adopted gradually. Seems more likely that there will become a point when electric cars are better/cheaper than gas even for low-end vehicles, and then from then on there's no reason to keep making gas-burning cars except for specialized purposes.

One argument in favor of a gradual transition though is limited battery supply. However, if there's a market for more cells, I don't see any reason to expect that the necessary factories won't be built.
Interesting! 40 of my 102 games haven't been played yet. Jesus christ, I'm gonna have to call in sick next week to catch up here.
When Ferrari begins to make EV, we will know gasoline demand have been decimated, but it's an existential question for exotic supercar manufacturer with a long lineage & tradition that plays so much in to their brand.

Ferrari have stated that they will never make a fully EV vehicle. I'm not sure what Enzo Ferrari would think.

I would be very interested to know what an EV supercar will look like I expect something like sub two second range with instant torque and lightweight composite material.

I get giddy thinking about the torque to weight ratio of such vehicles.
I don't see why that would be a :)

More like a pretty severe :( in my book.

I configure my set of actual running programs for the work being done on that specific moment, not for the work being done during the week.

For example, I only open multiple browser tabs when searching for documentation, and even there I barely go over 10. Which I anyway close, after I am done with it.

Each application is only running for the time it is actually needed and does provide value to my workflow, otherwise it just a waste of CPU, memory and screen estate.

The weakest part of this essay is its conclusion. What to do - use Facebook? There's nothing else that can be done at this stage, really?

How about:

1. Go out of your way to support alternative distribution platforms such as the 'indie web', gnusocial, etc. (Whether through use, development, etc. Every bit helps.)

2. Figuring out some kind of movement or legislative action we can take to end free basics, since it's egregious monopoly behavior.
So you're saying there's no way to reach post-labour before post-scarcity?

Hmm, that's interesting, I hope it's not true.
> No UI for traceless edits and DB password split in three parts like nuclear launch codes.

That works well for nuclear launch codes because the only time you need to combine the split parts to make the full launch code is when you are actually going to launch (and perhaps during scheduled readiness tests). This should be fairly infrequent.

For a database, you'll have processes that frequently need access. For persistent processes, you'll need to have the reconstituted password available at least whenever the persistent processes start. If you architecture has dynamic processes that access the database (e.g., you have something internal working over a REST or CGI or similar interface, that starts upon receiving a request), you need a way to get the password to them.

Most solutions I've seen for supplying the full password in these cases have been fairly easy for someone with admin access to the machine running whatever it is that holds the full password and/or to a machine running one of the processes that needs to full password to get a copy of the password.
From having to use it on solaris, it was more the flexibility of resizing and changing the layout without downtime that was useful.

When you have a 100k+ machine it makes more sense, when you can just rebuild a new instance it makes less sense. I do NOT miss using it, but it was nice for its niche.
In the past couple of weeks, I've searched for several categories of items on Amazon: umbrellas, paint brushes, and acrylic paint. Almost every product's page was dominated by five-star incentivized reviews.
I'd like to see Stripe go public instead of raising additional VC capital. They could really spark a series of tech IPOs strengthening tech stocks. I don't have any insider knowledge (besides my research when working on my failed startup Charge Control[1]), but I would be shocked if Stripe is not profitable.

If you invest in ETFs, you are certainly being helped by automated arbitrage traders. These products rarely trade more than a cent from their true value because computers can calculate the hedging basket almost instantly. Yes, they have a profit motive, but competition keeps their profits small: https://meanderful.blogspot.com/2013/01/hfts-dirty-little-se...

It always costs money to transact. The alternative to trading against an ETF arbitrageur's quote isn't a costless transaction at the fair price, it's manually paying the spread and transaction costs on hundreds of stocks and risking slippage.

FWIW: YC probably earns more than even the biggest automated trading businesses.
I'm dubious about the worth of this book as I lived with several soton Engineering students as they went through the associated course (whilst I did CS as part of the other 'Engineering' faculty, ECS), though a lot may have been due to lack of engagement with this particular course (copying and memorisation were sufficient to get you through it). I was always so frustrated that my friends couldn't benefit from some of the great lecturers in my own faculty.

That said I know a few Engineering students there now who are awesome programmers (though Aero Engineers at heart, so I can't hire them :( ).
I must point out that I too am an actual customer. In fact, I'm a customer in two ways: I paid Google thousands of dollars in commission on sales I made through Google Wallet; and I'm trying to pay money to watch TV and movies.
Thats not what we are talking about at all. You need access to these machines somehow it's not about classifying people it's about getting access to the ballot machines and altering them or their results. Quite a different task.
Sidenote: it's better for the environment to buy a used Ford pickup truck than to buy a new Prius. The pickup will have been made in one factory while the Prius is made from parts from all around the world. It's already done a million miles by the time you buy it. Tesla not only has zero emissions, but they're also vertically integrated. For me, it's not all about which is the cheaper option to own. It's about what's going to help the environment the most.
Me either. Stop using Facebook and help make sure your friends and family stop using it as well. Encourage them to not use their Facebook login for anything, and ensure that they uninstall the app from their mobile phone. Explain to them the FakeNewsBook, the not giving a crap about user privacy, how the service makes people depressed and have low self esteem, and how much of a waste of time it is.

Its very possible humans may have been advanced enough within last 30000 years and could've nearly killed itself off the face of earth. We may be descendants of some tribe living in very primitive conditions who started with old generation tech artifacts. Could we have built pyramid with tech we(the current humans) had a thousands of years ago? I think those tech and knowledge has been looted/confiscated by people(us) who invented looting and overtime got destroyed as they didn't have the know-how required to operate or maintain it. Old technologically advanced humans may have never researched on to build weapons as there was no need for it until someone invented killing and looting them, but by then there wasn't enough time to develop defensive weapons. So theyall died and got there tech destroyed and looted by us. We may have only recently within last 2000 years started to develop tech.
VW had Bug factories in Mexico until 2003. It's not like they stopped making them in 1974. Also, it possible to build one from all after market parts for which there is an efficient supply chain. Nonetheless, most Central American countries do not allow cars older than 10 years to be imported. My friends bought several acres of land on the Belize coast where he wanted to build a resort. Before he left he bought a 1988 CJ Jeep which can also easily be built from all after market parts, so he move on his land. They wouldn't let him import it.

Public transportation is a poor replacement for a car in many places and a 10 year old car raises reliability issues with many people who are afraid to have a problem while driving.

And while people sometimes appreciate a lot of space in a car, most often, when they commute , they might not need that.
Well a lot of Media stayed silent on DNC scandal. CNN said general public shouldn't have possession of Wikileak's documents and should only rely on media for the information on Wikileaks.

What pisses me off with a lot people taking a moral stand against trump saying he is fascist, misogynist, racist (which is true btw) is that they ignore that Hilary voted yes for Iraq war, invaded Libya and look at Syria.

For context, shopify has pretty high monthly fees as well as taking a cut of sales. Last I saw they had over 200,000 shops, minimum $30/month (up to $300) means at LEAST $6 mil/month from monthly fees, plus some percentage of the 3.8 billion/quarter gross sales they process... whatever they get to keep after paying strip and the credit card companies. Even a half a percent means $19 million per quarter.

So if you are a startup, growing fast, and bringing in well over $12mil/month... a lot of employees makes sense.

I'd be glad to be wrong! But according to [1] LG's factory might get to 3 GWh output in a few years. At 60 KWh per Bolt that is 50,000 cars, in a few years.

Tesla is planning 150GWh eventually, but starting at least in the 10's of GWh's to start. Lets say 30. At 30 GWh that is potentially 500,000 Model 3s.

Obviously, this is all speculative on both sides. Let me know if my calculations are off or I missed something.

That's the biggest problem I see as well with reaching a post-labour future. Every single political party across the entire spectrum has full employment as their stated goal. Some experiment with basic income, but it's still just seen as a different way of doing welfare, and it's always assumed that the majority of government taxation will come from other people's labour. People just cannot wrap their heads around a future where taxation is based on productivity, not human labour, and where labour is optional.

If you work on DNS at all you need control over the cache so you can purge it as needed. This is why I run my own local unbound server as well. Plus it makes it easy to add forwarders for specific domains when you use a limited routing VPN.
> it is very hard to make a small 4 stroke engine

No, actually it's not. That's nonsense.

You can buy today a 5 hp 4 stroke outboard engine, weighing about 25 kg (including transmission, housing, controls etc), for $1300 brand new.

http://www.ebay.com/bhp/5-hp-outboard-motor

Furthermore, what you are proposing is not new: a tiny car with a tiny engine for one person. That's called a microcar. Wikipedia has a long list of these, starting from the 1950's onward to today, some of which have sold in quite large numbers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcar

A modern, electric example is the Reva (G-Wiz in the UK), which was produced from 2001 to 2012.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REVAi

Given that these already exist, why are they not the solution to our problems? For one, they're well-documented death traps. They use a loophole by classifying as a four wheel motorbike, meaning they don't need to be crash tested. Also, they are a replacement for only a small part of what a real car does, and this is the part that's also most easily replaced by public transport.
You can certainly measure this with current surveying techniques.

Not easily. And compared to what? The classic USGS survey markers don't have their height measured accurately enough, and they move with the land. The USGS does have precision "vertical control point" markers, and there are about ten of them along the northeastern coast of San Francisco. The highest precision vertical control point nearby is a GPS station on top of Building 1 at Fort Mason, and its height is valid only to 1.35cm accuracy at 95% confidence.[2] Absolute elevation is tough to measure at those scales.

Relative elevation, relative to the average of all ground points for, say, a kilometer radius, is something a radar satellite can do well.

Why it is the elephant is probably that if you decry overpopulation, you're implicitly complaining about them, not us.

You can't invoke overpopulation without bringing in racial and other divisions, because it's not the developed nations where the populations growth is taking place (other than due to immigration).

It would be interesting if this were true. I live in Oppède in the Luberon and I can literally see the town of Menerbes from my back yard -- which is incidentally on of the most important world markets for black truffles. Every winter our roads are filled with people from all over the world (generally chefs) who make an annual pilgrimage to by truffles here.

I would be interested in the economic impact of suddenly making truffles as near-worthless as common mushrooms since truffles come almost exclusively from tiny producers -- for many, their entire year's income comes from the yearly truffle market.

I guess my feeling is I wonder if truffle scarcity is a problem worth solving. The downside is destroying a lot of people's livelihood for a product that really isn't that important (people that don't have truffles really aren't wishing they did for the most part.)

The scarcity isn't because black truffles are just so amazing but because there's an allure to eating them. They do have an amazing aroma and every year for about a month or two I am making truffle-everything. But if they were turned into a mass-produced commodity, I would expect them to not be quite so interesting.

This startup is sowing the seeds to destroying the very market they want to disrupt.

The problem with telling people to stop using Facebook is that they want some way to communicate with extended family and former friends.Before you can tell people to simply stop, you need a replacement. I have not yet seen a solution which would be able to replace Facebook for that purpose. Email is much clunkier and does not work to communicate with many people. IM and other messaging, including Signal, are quite different and can't be used to communicate with many people. There have been a few attempts, such as dispora, to federate Facebook but they have not caught on and may cause some problems with e.g. searchability.
