As an introvert, I found this to be an excellent article with excellent advice. The author did a great job of detailing what it means to be an introvert, and detailing the societal traps that introverts tend to fall into.

Growing up, I had a lot of people tell me that I needed to "Get outside [my] comfort zone," "socialize more," and "push [myself]." None of those things ever made me happy. They just drained me emotionally, and I couldn't wait to get home and read, write, or program something by myself.

As the author mentioned in resolution 1, introverts have limited energy for socializing. It drains us. It's not about being cowardly and shy, and having to muster up our courage and break through some social barrier that is holding us back. It is more like running on a treadmill at the gym. Eventually, you're going to get tired and worn out. It isn't like you can push through some invisible mental barrier and then run and run forever. Socializing is like running on a treadmill for introverts. It wears us out. I think a lot of people, even introverts, don't really understand this. Extroverts are charged emotionally by social activities. Introverts are drained. Therefore, it doesn't make sense for an introvert to just suck it up and act like an extrovert.
Damn! Three ! You must love that :-) I'm more than happy with 2. And besides, 3 means that there are more kids than adults in the family :-) It's like playing a football game with on player excluded :-)

(but as I say, if one chooses it and feels like being a parent, I can guarantee a hell of satisfaction, those kids are just marvelous eyes openers)
I was searching which companies use RethinkDB and realized your company used to be the Inkodye company. When did the supply chain pivot happen? I'll have to buy up some supplies at one of the retailers that still have it, I always loved that stuff.

Adding https support to Redis would only do what you suggest -- add pretend competence, and hide real problems. It wouldn't add real security. It's better for the sake of ignorant users for Redis to advertise that it's insecure and they're on their own than it is to hide the ignorance.

You didn't answer any of my questions. What is your use case? In what situations do you need https support? Why should Redis be thought of differently than memcached or SQLite or ImageMagick or any other program intended for strictly internal use?

It's mainly that something so easy you barely think about it becomes something you do have to think about. It's a vanishingly tiny value being acted upon such that it is many times larger than it was, though still not huge. It does get worse with older kids—newborns are in many ways very easy, sleep and constant feedings aside—and I understand that some people have lots and lots of trouble with the process, though for us it's not that bad, just a non-issue that is now a once-or-more-a-day minor issue.

> It's better for the sake of ignorant users for Redis to advertise that it's insecure

It doesn't advertise any such thing. The manual people don't fucking read isn't advertisement because this is the future, a five-minute-demo is all you need, just grab it and start coding away.

In a future populated by competence, I would fully and completely agree with you that Redis does enough. We live in a bad future. Sucks, but--the priesthood of competence has responsibilities.

> In what situations do you need https support?

"I am talking over a network." It's not a complicated use case. TLS end-to-end, full-stop, is the only tenable future. It's still imperfect, but it's leagues better than unencrypted-over-the-wire, even inside of a theoretically secure ('cause it probably isn't) network perimeter.

I've actually seen a lot of folks argue against UBI out of the assumption that if people don't have to work, no one will ever do anything with their lives and we'll all go to hell with no production whatsoever. This article is targeted at that argument. If that's not an argument against UBI you want to make, that's great, but it's still worthwhile for the author to write something here.

Discovery:

If someone from your instance follows someone remotely, that account is in the instance's database, and can be searched (we have account search). Furthermore you'll see their posts in a real-time public timeline if you wish to view that.

If you're just kickstarting a fresh instance and are alone, yeah, you kinda have to browse other sites to find people to follow. But then you follow them (there's also a "remote follow" button across mastodon and GNU social sites that facilitates this) and you get that benefit again. And you find people who the people you're following retweet/reblog/boost (whatever you wanna call it).

I mean honestly, it's not like you can immediately find every good account on Twitter either. It's not much harder or at all imo.

You mean the difference between space as a medium in which things sit as opposed to space as constituted but the objects that populate it? I would say the perspectivism implied by the latter.
Re-write history a fair bit.

By this I mean that much of history is amazingly cool and interesting, yet no-one really reads about it or learns it. Yet I can talk to pretty much any hipster on the street and they'll know all about the Ents and Elves of Tolkein or the Andals and First Men of GRR. History should be more like that then, I figure.

So, lets put some Griffon-mounted Calvary into the Bleeding Kansas era, some dragons into Waterloo, and some brain-slugs into the Mongols. Maybe that'll spice up the history lessons a bit and make then more worth reading by the average citizen.
If this were the report about the Tesla autopilot crash, I would totally agree with you. In that instance, where the investigation was conducted by a government entity, linking to Tesla's release about the investigation would have been the wrong move, because the release would be spin on something that journalists, or we as readers, could assess for ourselves directly (the actual independent report), so there would be no reason to get it via Tesla's PR filter. In this instance, though, they are unfortunately one and the same. The data upon which they are basing their conclusions (the actual telemetry from their sensors, etc.) is not public. Nobody is as informed as they are about their results, so any cross examination of their results would be de facto incomplete. Note that NYT is fully aware of this, also: their article is not reporting on what happened during the explosion, it's reporting on what SpaceX says happened during the explosion, because that's all that can be done given publicly available information.
> Not all illegal goods have the same economics as illegal substances

Dont see your point. Kinder would not have much demand even if it is illegal as it competes with many other similar products easily available. Ivory appears to me something very similar to marijuana or cocaine than Kinder eggs to me.

> When people go buy ivory, they are buying it to show off their wealth.

You don't have much idea about illegal trade. What makes you think the black market only has shady guys on street peddling smuggled items. Rich people extensively deal in illegal items and get them home delivered in armored car if needed.

> People want luxury goods, not necessarily ivory in particular.

I don't see much of logic. On the contrary Ivory might get far more desirable and much bigger status symbol once it is made illegal. You should remember that every illegal thing in a society eventually has exceptions for powerful. A hand-gun is a big status symbol in India and UK where gun control is hysterical. Same is likely to happen with Ivory.
Given that our industry has collectively shown it's unable to handle leap seconds well over decades of experience. Why not let the sectors that require a timescale closely tracking UT1 manage the complexity instead, and let the rest of us have a sensible time scale. I think you'll find that astronomers are already managing complex timescales, GPS itself doesn't have leap seconds (although it does broadcast the number of accumulated leap seconds between GPS time and UTC)

Maybe because natural language is constantly evolving and it evolves from people, and machines are only capable of taking data from people and doing things with that data.
Thanks. Yes, those percentages must be averages, with most Airbnb's paying zero.
The problem is not really with leap seconds themselves but that they are virtually universally implemented in computer systems as part of the "seconds-since-epoch time" as the lowest level interface to the clock (e.g. POSIX clock_gettime). This is apparently nice because then you can convert this to a calendar date without considering leap seconds (assuming the Gregorian calendar).

But for anything that actually needs accurate timekeeping (time keeping in natural terms not calendar time) this is a disaster because the time will jump by a full second, and if it jumped backward, this will also result in ambiguous times. So with leap seconds inserted into your clock, your clock may as well be worthless: it does not unambiguously define time, and you cannot subtract values to get durations.

Note that the current approach is not fully correct even when you care about calendar dates, because in case of a positive leap second, your clock will never show the :60 second tick but repeat :59 twice (due to ambiguity).

By the way, it is easy to convert a leap-second-uncorrected seconds-since-epoch value to a leap-second-corrected one (for compatibility with SW that assumes this). I think this will do it:

T_corrected = T - N_positive(T) + N_negative(T)

where N_positive is the number of positive leap seconds up to time T, and N_negative is the number of negative ones. (yes, positive ones are subtracted and negative are added - I hope I didn't mess that up)

Summary: leap seconds are not wrong per se, but they are implemented in a very stupid manner in common operating systems - the time values the OS gives allow neither correct conversion to calendar time nor calculation of relative times.
You're in an unfamiliar place and a fire breaks out. If there are no working smoke detectors and you're asleep, you'll probably die. You're making a meal on a stove and you accidentally start a fire. Is there a fire extinguisher... anywhere? If there is, is it even working? If there's a fire and it's smokey and your main route of exit is cut off, do you know how to get out a back way? Is there even a back way? Nobody is checking for these things when you rent an unregulated room from a random stranger on the internet.

If you own your own place and are lax in your upkeep, fire prevention, fire detection, and safety measures, it's likely you who will pay the price. If you're renting your place out as an illegal hotel, you're affecting unsuspecting guests.
Looks pretty good from what I've seen. Set up an account for my site, posted a few messages to test how it works and found that everything seems pretty much as I'd expect from a Twitter type site.

Gonna download the source and try out an instance at one point too.

However, I do have one question here:

How are you planning to differentiate this from other microblogging platforms with very similar feature sets and styles? I mean, GNU Social seems to be catching on a fair bit nowadays, and that feels a lot like this software too.

Is there a plan to make this the most popular 'federated microblogging network' rather than one of the other twenty or so out there already?

Just wondering.
Lots of companies in the US treat their employees well, but plenty don't - and there is very little in the way of employee protection in "at will" states.

In other western countries employees can't be fired without being given multiple written warnings and given opportunities to improve their performance. They get a higher minimum wage (with no distinction on what industry they work in, so no need to rely on tips if you're in hospitality), and they get at minimum 30 days holiday when you include public holidays.

On the other hand the wages in the US are higher than most western countries, and the cost of living lower (interestingly the taxes aren't despite the central government providing fewer services).

People don't realise the trade off that exists for the American dream and there is a trade off for all but the luckiest few. I know I didn't when I worked in the Bay Area for a bit.

It's a system that seems to prioritise business over employees and you can't argue with the success of American companies, so depending on your mindset it works.

The trade off is worth it for some, not for others.
But you really have to be careful not to mix introversion, shyness and social anxiety.

They might somehow look the same, but they certainly aren't and you can't just overcome your introversion like you can overcome your shyness or social anxiety.
So what bans have worked so far ? all the verbal sophistry useless unless you give a proper example.
You are not wrong, but in the real world, getting hold of an accurate representation of UT1 is very difficult, but knowing accurately UTC is very easy, and so in practice this is what is used for everyday civil purposes.
Exempting fresh-out-of college students from requirements that apply to others seems like straight-up bullshit to me. Either those requirements are flexible, or they aren't.
>Say no to social events that promise little meaningful interaction.

That's a horrible one. Minor details are the bricks of a relationship, the closer you are the more bricks--in quantity or quality--you contribute. If you don't have any bricks to offer, it is difficult to establish or to sustain a relationship.
For instance, small after work gatherings often seem a waste of time, especially to those who aren't innately fond of socializing or unable to proficiently judge the value of such, yet exactly these have a chance to provide a more intimate atmosphere. Also, even a single wasteful meet-up might count as a step and with some number of steps you'd also cover a bit of distance.

As such, it isn't that there aren't meaningless meetings but it's the recommendation to evaluate and avoid such that is misleading.

Instead, one should be aware that because one has to invest energy to socialize one automatically tends to avoid doing so at all, which again reduces the amount one can store.
Hence, do not avoid spending your energy supply but learn to judge the highest and to improve your returns on investment. What good return supposed to be is subjective but one shouldn't forget that profound happiness and success is build not suddenly acquired.

>7. Have more meaningful conversations and less small talk. Research suggests that the happiest people have twice as many meaningful conversations—and do less surface-level chitchat—than the unhappiest.

Avoiding small talk won't lead you to more meaningful discussions. It's common sense that people are happier if they found someone to converse with more in-depth but that doesn't reduce the value of small talk.
You can't reach the station of happiness by skipping the traveling part, and traveling is often like long grinding work.

By the way, inversion isn't about the ability to socialize. The lack thereof is just a consequence of a more isolated course of life.
Risk is always relative. If you have enough capital, you can afford to focus solely on the long run, and plan positions accordingly. In general portfolio theory managers aim to optimize an objective - for short term hedge funds that's typically Sharpe ratio or just net return, but for long term focus (e.g. a rich family), you focus on minimizing the probability of shortfall.

That is, your family is going to spend some x% of your wealth every year. Then you only need to return x% on the fund (approximately) on a yearly basis. There is very little real risk associated with this strategy, if you're rich and needing to earn a small percent of your total assets, say 3%. Now, if your family isn't rich, you're probably going to need to spend much more than 3% in income, and your probability of shortfall increases dramatically.

This is similar to how college endowments work - do you think Harvard's endowment has a high chance of going dry anytime soon? Tangentially, their tax-free status is tied to spending 5% of the assets each year, which actually makes their job a lot harder, and is why they need to still raise money.

I've liked SpiderOak's focus on privacy and security, but find the pricing to be expensive at every tier, and the space available not in tune for my needs (a jump from 100GB to 250GB, which is kinda ok, and then to a whopping 1TB).
> GPS itself doesn't have leap seconds (although it does broadcast the number of accumulated leap seconds between GPS time and UTC)

Which means that it does have leap seconds, it just doesn't use them internally.
It usually works out in one of two ways:

- You respond normally to emails and Slack, but don't show up to meetings or other work in the office. This counts as a legitimate vacation.

- You simply don't schedule the time off, and nobody says anything. Some companies will pay this out in cash equivalent (giving you an extra week or 2 of pay), but usually it just "expires" at the end of the year.
