Yeah, a lot of this stuff isn't "intellectual" discussion in the sense of a dispassionate search for truth but instead a form of loyalty signalling. On reading it you ask yourself, "why would anyone think that?" and then go digging; several iterations later you find their entire set of experiences, beliefs, values and loyalties is different. And you wonder where it came from - but it takes a village to raise someone like this, and there's an entire community out there who think in the same way.

Epistemology matters, and can't be separated from power relations.

The person with the extremely bonkers views is engaging in radical epistemology: those are his facts, because he doesn't trust anyone else's. If you were to dig long enough perhaps you'd find the point in his childhood where he rejected either educational authority or his own experimentation in favour of this fantasy world in which he's the sole arbiter of knowledge.
Step 1.5: Use something that overwrites everything, for good measure. I'd say this is more important than #1, since encryption is more likely to fail than overwriting (I once discovered that my encrypted volume had actually been set up as unencrypted, and I wasn't encrypting the things I thought I was).

Mathematical language is precise. Problem 1 of this problem sheet is expressed in precisely as many words and symbols as is required.

You dont need any more language to fully understand the problem. Any less, and the problem would not be correctly specified.

That is the beauty of mathematics. The things you say are always falsifiable.

When taking a math exam, you can not contest having "misunderstood the question". The question is precise. By saying you "misunderstood it", you acknowledge that you don't understand the topic well enough to pass the exam. There are no ambiguities in correctly expressed math.

Whatever youre going to write down as your answer for problem 1a) is either correct or its not. No amount of arguing is going to change that. We don't need to write essays and we don't want to. We just apply what's been proven correct to solve new problems.

If math problems were "communicated in more natural ways", they would be reduced to problems people are going to argue and reason about, like they do in a liberal arts class. If you don't want cough up the required rigor, just go do something different.

Mathematics does not make amendments for the rigor impaired. If you want to study something math-y without all the rigorous proofs, physics is what you're looking for.
I love it. "Home has changed. You have changed. You have adapted to another culture and now you must readapt." Don't be bitter about it. Get on with it.

The advice that "People at home aren’t as interested in hearing about your foreign experience as you are in telling them about it" also resonates with me and can be a tough pill to swallow. In some ways it's similar to oversharing upon returning from a holiday. It shouldn't hurt too much when most people don't care how amazing or difficult it was. When your foreign experience is part of your identity it can be easy to take that disinterest personally. If you look/sound/act at first impression as the other culture it can feel like every introduction starts with satisfying the person's curiosity. When that curiosity is immediately followed by disinterest the incongruity can be jarring. For my partner's reentry I suggested that we have a short one sentence answer explaining where we were so that the conversation could move on quickly and save the rest for those who are genuinely interested.

I think wtbob's comment that "It's not about better/worse; it's about different." is very helpful. There is a time to compare and denounce the absolute and relative merit of an aspect of a culture but it can be unhelpful if those criticisms are just an outlet for frustration.

For the cross-culturally mobile parents in the crowd please please please consider that your children's experience might be very different than your own. The Reverse Culture Shock - Managing Reverse Culture Shock page [1] has lots of practical advice. I also highly recommend reading Third Culture Kids : Growing Up Among Worlds [2]. I would also recommend it to those who are reflecting upon their own childhood intercultural experience.

British expats certainly are notorious(+) for doing this - epitomising some kind of Imperial Britain that may not even have existed when they were born.

The most ridiculous subset are those people who live in Spain and complain about "immigrants" in Daily Mail comments. They may be in for a surprise if the hard Brexit they supported happens and they lose their right to reside in Spain because the UK won't guarantee residence for Spanish nationals.

> If you use Linux with systemd or without is a significant difference, which is probably as big as switching between BSDs.

I did address the init daemon point. With Linux distros you're still using a common kernel upstream (ie Linux) which all Linux distro's share. That's not the case with the BSDs. You're also sharing the same GNU coreutils which 99% of Linux's share, BSD's often have their own. The kernel is really the key point here though.

> The name of my operating system is "Ubuntu", not "Linux".

Technically it's neither. "Ubuntu" is the distribution name. "Linux" is the kernel name. I don't much agree with Richard Stallman that "Linux the OS" should be named "GNU/Linux" but from a technical standpoint it is a more accurate OS name than either of the two suggestions you raised.

You are correct---in your system, someone can be surrounded by a society that is fundamentally positive because no one is wanting for basic needs, and leverage that fact to be wealthy because they don't have to worry about a certain class of problems, yet not contribute back into the system that has allowed their wealth to accumulate. This is as much a choice as a welfare recipient who could work, but is choosing not to. Arguably, that society isn't really possible, though, since given the option of not contributing back into the system, there is a high probability that those who accumulate wealth would choose not to do so, especially if it's inherited, and so even if you could trip into a society that met basic needs for everyone through the wealthy choosing to contribute, it would likely vanish in the span of a generation or two. Evidence for this being that we've had societies where the wealthy could choose not to contribute to their society for millenia, and meeting basic needs is something we've only started brushing at in the last century.

By the way, no, the goal here is not to spend the money as efficiently as possible. The primary goal is to succeed at something that is known to improve society as a whole and, perhaps, will allow that society to produce goods better and more effectively. The secondary goal is to do so as efficiently as possible. This is why you don't find much support in countries with nationalized healthcare for abolishing nationalized healthcare; instead, the support is for reforming it or making it more efficient or less corrupt or what have you. The primary goal met, it's on to the secondary goal. Before government was used as a vehicle for achieving many of these things, they simply weren't an option for most.

Government is where we come together as a people and say "yes, this is the cost that we have decided is worth paying in order to have the society that we want". That encompasses both sides---taxes ("what is worth paying") and policy ("how we achieve the society that we want"). Let's grant that there might be less competition and less efficiency (arguable), but there is greater universality, and I would say there are goals where that universality is far more important than the tradeoffs.

That book is great, very in-depth, yet fun to read.

One caveat, though, this book is from the mid-nineties, so some parts are a little dated. Still, very much worth reading.
> I would argue the opposite. If more problems could be as well posed as mathematical problems, we wouldn't have people bullshitting their way through arguments that are in dire need of some scientifical rigor (see climate science, psychology, and other disciplines that are too complex to isolate phenomena completely). You can't handwave your way through a math exam and you shouldn't be able to do it in other fields of science.

Amen. I have been saying that for years. But I think you misunderstood my original post.

I am all for 100% scientific rigidity and less bullshit in society. But what you seem to classify as "clear" is not-so-clear to others. It's actually about how condensed the information is in each question. In order to unpack those questions, you need years of experience within that field in order to get anywhere.

I bet you anything that each one of these questions could be posed in a different, yet still mathematical, manner that would make most non-mathy people (such as myself) at least understand the gist of what is being asked. But that is not something mathematicians are interested in. Which is what I was trying to say.

In the Uber EATS delivery stuff, we rate like this.

I find it obnoxious that you act like this is a philosophical issue. Philosophy I think is by and large just meaningless grandstanding. We're all out here to survive (comfortably) and anyone who says otherwise is lying (although probably not intentionally.)

Whatever you believe your philosophical purpose is, I guarentee if you take an honest critical look at it, and what actions you actually take in reality (rather than just promote) to further that goal, you'll find that its nonsense.
My go-to method for both hard drives and SSDs is to immerse them for a few days in (full sugar) Coke.
For me it is usually cold dry air that seems to cause post-nasal drip. Once I get that, it's a good chance I will get a sore throat, and it goes from there.

Being outdoors is usually fine, but sleeping under a strong AC or driving in the cold with windows down is almost a sure fire way to get this started.
Bold claim (not a professional webdesigner): Many problems with performance and usability would go away if people made more websites where the document is 100% width and height and contained boxes are individually scrolled. ("Like frames").

Basically, the way it's typically done when using desktop widget toolkits.

But most websites are still made so that there is only one document-wide scrollbar.
Don't forget the airtight glove bag. If you can smell the SSD, you're inhaling the SSD.

At least for me, I have a high-sensitivity gut that sometimes verges into IBS territory, if I mistreat it. I can't tolerate beans or similar in any quantity, so I'm left with pretty much tofu as a non-meat protein source. And I have to eat fairly high-protein low-carb to avoid various minor autoimmune nuisances. So if I were to cut meat, dairy, and eggs - I would pretty much have to exist on tofu, and I'm dubious about that being a good idea.

I think my situation is hardly rare.

Can someone explain to me how doing a low-level write of all zeroes to the disk is not effective, but rewriting the data in encrypted form is effective?

Let's say I have a 100Gb SSD disc and it contains 25Gb of files. If I read in my unencrypted files, encrypt them and write them back to the SSD, they won't necessarily end up in the same physical place as the unencrypted files. Won't the unencrypted files still be there, in unreferenced sectors (do SSD's have sectors?).

I would imagine that writing all zeroes at a low level would do a better job of removing data that is already there.

Indeed, we bought a home due to the fact that the mortgage was less than rent for a low end apartment. We see it as a way to build net worth and reduce costs, we buy used cars, buy bulk household goods though Amazon. A lot of people have this impression that its impossible to live the life that our parents had today. I'm sure its impossible in the bay area or Manhattan but as a high school drop out who lives in one of the top 100 highest income counties in the US I assure you that a very good standard of living is possible here. The only debt we have is our mortgage.
I can't wait for that to be supported but MS Edge currently doesn't support it (though it's under consideration).

My suggestion would be to slow down when reading math or about math. Let's take Wikipedia's integer factorization for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

First paragraph is:

"In number theory, integer factorization is the decomposition of a composite number into a product of smaller integers. If these integers are further restricted to prime numbers, the process is called prime factorization."

This is a clear and precise statement of the problem. There are some key words that one might need to look up which takes time, but that's what I mean by slowing down.

My naive understanding is that SSDs have portions of memory that go bad. They then use other, reserved portions of memory. As a result, not all of the memory is exposed for access to the host OS, only the on-drive controller sees the full picture. As a result, you may (at this time) believe youve taken a certsin action, but the reality is that the controller has likely not done what you expect. This is how you may think you've erased everything, but in reality, have not.
I think the idea is that you never save anything to the disk unencrypted.

Zeroing out is not entirely secure because at the hardware level a newly zeroed bit might be distinguishable from a bit that was already zero.
javascript shows no sign of dying since that talk, more people are doing desktop software (Electron) and more people using js to make native apps (React Native). Node.js is also popular on the server. Babel also took off which lessen the need for compile-to-js languages and makes the future of javascript into more javascript. Javascript is more ubiquitous than ever, wasm is best suited for hardware intensive applications and library authors, this is overkill for normal client side javascript
