I agree with much of what you say, but I do take issue with the idea that "what makes you good at being an elite soldier makes you really bad at being a companion to other humans that aren't also an elite special forces soldier." Certainly the time required to develop and maintain elite fighting skills takes away from the time one could spend on personal and familial relationships, but there's nothing intrinsic to the makeup of an elite soldier that detracts from one's ability to relate to other people. I have a family member who is retired from a special forces unit with all that entails (lots of deployments, medals, injuries, lost comrades, etc.) who is a good husband and father, patient, calm, resourceful and helpful, and generally the kind of guy you'd like to have as a neighbor. I think he had some advantages that many special ops guys don't always have such as very strong family ties throughout his deployments and not getting married until after his deployments were over, but he's certainly not the only one from his unit to do well in retirement.

That's not really a criticism of political correctness, that's a criticism of one of the ways political correctness can be enforced.

But it's a bit weird to equate empathy for a condition beyond one's control with empathy for people who don't choose to use empathetic language.

I've been in a few classes or workshops where the instructors have taught people how to correct insensitive speech. It's something that can be done well.
Please see my other comment to the person you replied to.

We are not dumbasses. Your experience is not reflective of everyone's experience.

Next time there's a fire at my house, I would rather put it out myself than have you and your arrogance show up.

Yes, but man is it confusing. The question should be something like "Do you have a home mortgage and if so who is it with?"
Sure, OSI has an official doctrine, and Perens has (or had) kind of a unique point of view within that, about the two terms being fully synonymous -- but he partly walked back that view later, and Stallman and FSF's has historically been very different:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....

And especially:

"The two terms describe almost the same category of software, but they stand for views based on fundamentally different values. Open source is a development methodology; free software is a social movement.... Most discussion of 'open source' pays no attention to right and wrong, only to popularity and success..."

And of course OSI officially wrote "We realized it was time to dump the confrontational attitude that has been associated with 'free software' in the past and sell the idea strictly on the same pragmatic, business-case grounds that motivated Netscape." (http://web.archive.org/web/19981206185148/http://www.opensou...)

In other words, "open source" was about depoliticizing "free software" to make it more commercially palatable. (And arguably, it worked.)

Keyboard Maestro is one of the most underrated apps for power users. I had it for a long time and finally began to realize what amazing power you get with this tool. Others also mentioned BetterTouchTool. With that and Keyboard Maestro, if you have that little thing you wish an app would allow you to do, most of the time you can do it by using these two tools.

As Ferris Beuller said, if you have the means (and almost all of you do), I highly recommend it.
I would also like to add quinoa, broccoli, and peas. There is a salad I frequently make which I call the 'Max-nesium salad'. It's pretty much just a combination of spinach/chard, raw almond shavings, black beans, quinoa, broccoli, and peas. You can also throw in beets if you like them.

Note I didn't say anything about what compiler will be used or commands actually run. Make just calls the shell. If the shell runs stuff that produces Windows binaries you get Windows binaries.

(Assuming they fixed the Linux subsystem in a way that execve(2) works on Windows binaries, which I heard in the first version they didn't have working, then there should be no problems.)

"It's a persuasive statement" isn't incompatible with anything I said. It's a persuasive statement and it's Bulverism and it should not have been said.

Also: yes hello, I am a person and not a cold, unfeeling automaton, and generally speaking I do not talk that way. (I probably slip up sometimes. I would like to be called out when I do.)

Also also: people do and say lots of things that are bad. I think that "that's how people talk" is a really weird defense. Obviously some people talk like that some of the time. I'm trying to get them to do it less.

Do you think you understand why Jess believes what he believes? Because I'm fairly confident he does not lack empathy. I think that accusation demonstrates a failure of empathy. (Not a lack, mind you - just a failure.)

This is an excellent comment, to which I might add: framing a persuasive argument based on the position that DRM (or nearly anything) is an unequivocal bad is very nearly guaranteed to be untenable and inherently inconsistent.

If you truly believe that DRM is harmful in general, you need to construct an argument that appeals to educating people about which practical freedoms they care about will be lost. At that point you need to accept that they might not care about those freedoms.

But if you construct an argument from the axiom that users shouldn't introduce anything into their systems they can't reasonably control, you've fundamentally isolated almost everyone who you want to convince. Of those remaining to listen, most will typically already be on your side end evangelizing the same thing. In order to be consistent, arguing from a core axiom of user freedom and choice requires sacrificing things like hardware security modules, which are a giant leap forward for user security. You can have the absolute freedom to do anything if you'd like, but you might find that there are relatively few ways to apply that freedom if you do.

The alternative is a balanced approach: you don't start from an axiom that users need to be inherently free, and that some amount of tradeoff in freedom is beneficial and desirable. Then you go on to demonstrate why DRM in particular is bad in general. But this is a much weaker position in general, and framed this way you'll have fewer people to argue with.

I think you have it backwards: if there is no reason for consciousness to have any concordance, then it can go either way. And there is evidence of lots of evolved traits that have indeed gone "either way". Or it could be that consciousness is not a blind side effect but actually provides survival value. Or maybe it is a side effect but it's harmless. There are lots of possibilities.

In any case, it seems this is a diversion from the main argument: if you aren't aware of a process, then it's not a conscious process on your part by definition.
Even if it doesn't deliver everything ARKit does, this seems like a great way to promote an AR app or brand on the web.
Agreed. Many large firms do self-insure at this point, relying on the 'insurance' companies for administration. In fact, my employer does this. However, it's not a popular thing to recognize the actual value that insurance companies and the folks who work for them contribute these days (and no, I don't work for an insurance company).
Appreciate the nuanced perspective. When we toured preschools, they touted the "play-based" foundations, but there were very few specifics. It was mostly in response to parent questions about "do you do anything with the alphabet, numbers, days of the week, etc.".

All of the messaging around play-based learning was in the negative — "no, we don't do that; it's play based!". They never said "we do play based learning, which means that the teachers do x, y, and z to facilitate outcomes 1, 2, and 3."

I have contracted places where that would be a very formal request with tons of meetings and approval flows across purchasing, it security, website ops, the design/branding team, etc. Weeks of lead time required.

Basically, the request signals all the little fiefdoms that it's their chance to weigh in.
It's supposed to look real so people who aren't you fail the question. They will think, "well he lives near X or uses Y for something else, so it's probably that one". There isn't any indication that it may be false.
How we made the Washington Post eclipse-scroller
I bought the tires for their value proposition, not their absolute performance. The tires are strictly inferior to the Michelins but I can live with that. If one pops, I can swap it out for a spare in 10 minutes, tops.

FWIW, I buy top of the line tires for my snow tires and motorcycle tires.
For simple cameras, I'm a fan of the Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I CCTV POE 3MP Bullet IP HD Security Network Camera, 4mm camera for 1/3 of the price. They've done well in below -20F degree weather.

Also another vote for Blue Iris. It's not the most user friendly software but it's awesome for the price. It can be tricky to get configured just right though...

I would love to hear if anyone has any recommendations for getting Blue Iris to do some of the features of this camera, such as compare face images against a Google Photos API?

I would also be curious to know if the cameras that move & try to auto focus are actually better. That seems like a potential plus but I could see wind blowing trees or a squirrel running causing the camera to focus on the wrong things. Maybe the Nest is smarter & only goes for certain objects that it can recognize... Motion sensor recording is kind of a pain to get right on my Blue Iris. Windy trees & spiders cause me to get a lot more video than necessary.
I bought one of those shitty $30 ones. They don't work. They freeze and then you have to reset them like twice a week. I'd much rather have something made by a company like Nest that I know won't get knocked out.
Here's a link around the paywall: https://outline.com/7XaW7b

And can I say I hate this article? I hate this article. Take this:

In 2008, in the midst of the recession, the average hourly pay of production and nonsupervisory workers tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics — those who toil at a cash register or on a shop floor — was 10 percent below its 1973 peak after accounting for inflation. Since then, wages have regained virtually all of that ground.

So we've only almost recovered from the recession on this metric and we've almost broken even with how good workers were doing in 1973? That sounds like a pretty shit recovery to me.

More than seven years after the recession ended and the job market began to bounce back, only 60 percent of Americans over the age of 16 are working, about 2.5 percentage points fewer than just before the economy took a dive.

Here's another metric where we haven't even made it back to '08 levels!

And the answer requires removing a roadblock standing in the way of this potential golden age: Even if demand for workers is rising, it may not be for the kind of workers on offer, those sitting on the sidelines of the labor force. “The jobs in demand are more skilled than the workers we have,” Professor Krueger told me.

Because the article won't describe a solution to this "roadblock" can we all take a guess at what it's going to be. I'll give you two choices:

(A) Encouraging firms to hire under-developed american workers and train them in-house to do these jobs.

(B) Loosen immigration restrictions so we can hire cheap overseas labor.

On the supply side, Professor Kearney and Professor Abraham suggest that being cautious about raising the minimum wage, which could price some workers out of jobs, and reforming disability insurance to encourage recipients to seek jobs.

Oh for fucks sake. So simultaneously we are about to enter a labor shortage but we can't raise the minimum wage? A labor shortage is the best time to raise the minimum wage! And of course rather than encouraging any one of our numerous solutions we definitely need to cut disability. This is the grossest bit of neoliberal propaganda I've seen in a while.
Does it work off-cloud? Can I firewall it entirely behind my own LAN? If so, sold.

I've spent so much time screwing around with generic Chinese hardware that's, well, sometimes great (and sometimes truly worthless). Most generic brands (that exist for 6 months at a time) have software/firmware that leaves much to be desired, and is sometimes outright broken, but at least more often than not at least implement (most) of an open-source IP-cam standard (unlike the fancy expensive cameras).

But I have no interest in trading any sort of even theoretical access to video of my home for a fancy web interface: http://shodan.io/
true! but the time delay of a dog eating meat is random. I would think most dogs can finish some meat before the attacker can unmount a tv, and some dogs would prefer to...play.. with an intruder over food.

IIRC, the Nest cam streams to their cloud service, so you'd have a nice little video of someone committing that crime.
The phone doesn't generate anxiety. Not having the phone generates anxiety. The Apple Watch series 3 with LTE fixes the issue. So what's the problem?

Your comment seems to be implying that being used to always being available if someone needs to contact you is a bad thing (e.g. is the same thing as alcoholism). But why? Personally, I'm all for disconnecting, but even when I'm not available to anyone else, I still want to be available if my wife needs to talk to me. And even if I didn't have a wife, that doesn't mean it's unreasonable for other people to want to be available at any time. And finally, even if you want to disconnect regularly, you may still want to disconnect on your terms rather than being forced to disconnect because of the activity you're doing at the moment (e.g. going for a run).

The court system is there to challenge bad laws.

If a law is somehow justifiable but I still don't like it, then I might break it. If there are consequences for that, then I'll accept those consequences.

For example, if my shoddy water heater install causes my house to burn down and my insurance refuses to cover the damage because it wasn't up to code, then that sucks, but it's ultimately my responsibility.
I don't know if the word cloning would be appropriate. Outdoor security cameras aren't really a new product and the features such as light and two way talk are pretty obvious.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I can imagine a wide spectrum of comments from worried family members "Are you sure you want to put yourself through this? Maybe you should just let nature run it's course." to trolls intentionally prodding the insecurities of the cancer patient.
In that world, I imagine people would be free to criticize designs they don't like and provide alternatives.
This incompetence is truly hilarious at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if other large institutions holding sensitive data are just as reckless. Student loans? Health insurance companies?

I hope they aren't big to be held responsible.
> what we knew about Al Qaeda, why we believed some of its associates to be in Afghanistan, etc.

I was living in Spain and no one needed the US to explain why they "believed some of Al-Qaeda's associates were in Afghanistan". I'm not sure if you didn't watch the news through that time or what, but the Taliban were very upfront about having Bin Laden.

If you use Cmder[1] as your terminal, and you install the full package, make is bundled with it and works exactly as you'd expect it to. I do this with a couple of cross platform Go projects, and make works nicely on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Of course, this is less useful if it's a team project, because then everyone will have to install Cmder (or at least msys) to use the Makefile on a Windows system.

After Equifax Breach, Companies Advised to Review Open-Source Software Code
Let's not even get into "matter" and modern science which already undermines the notion that things are solid...

Let's just get to the point:

If EVERYTHING in the universe, everything in reality is "matter"... then what does "matter" mean anymore?

It may as well be magic. Harry Potter material. No difference. Because this "matter" exists in nothing.

You are in a building, in a city, in a country, in a continent, on planet Earth, in solar system, itself floating in a galaxy, itself floating in the "universe" ... itself floating in ... what?

Nothing.

At which point you call it matter, I could call it "consciousness" (in the author Bernardo Kastrup's meaning then, as a underlying field to everything), some may call it "god". We can also just call it magic. Poof! Here we are.

I think it's more of a situation where, no one at that level is going to change anything, so just talking about the absurdity is frowned upon just for the simple reason of negatively effecting moral, and negatively impacting your next promotion review.

Independent thought? Bah! I found the Army to be highly political, everything anyone with rank did was intended to bolster their reviews in the eyes of their superiors. And being a hard charger, always on mission was an easy way to do it. I started to type some stories, but suffices to say, there's a lot of stupid stuff in the military.
My searches for food in Bellevue, WA found a Thai restaurant that closed 6 years ago (Tewada Thai), and a Mexican restaurant that left 2 years ago (Tres Hermanos).
You're not wrong but if it were that easy to make tires with the level of quality that my tires have, I'd expect to see options from countries that aren't known for industrial espionage. As it is, the only decent cheap tires are from China. If you can source cheap Thai tires, you'll find that they're inferior to the Chinese tires.

Does China have a comparative advantage in tire technology over Thailand? Probably. Why? Probably because of industrial espionage. If it were that easy to make decent cheap tires, you'd probably see other places doing it.
I have had good experience with an amcrest camera. It encourages you to set it up with their (terrible) service, but it also has an RTSP endpoint. It works pretty well with Zoneminder as well.

This isn't an anecdotal fallacy, because those returns are empirically demonstrable and proven. Moreover, I agree that investing in hedge funds is bad in general - I've never claimed otherwise. My position in this thread and others like it is simply that a fair number of hedge funds do consistently beat the market even if they represent a small minority of the overall industry.

I'm also not establishing a conspiracy here. There's nothing underground or invisible about this industry, and I've worked in it peripherally myself. It's only under the radar in the sense that most Americans can name the president but not most other high ranking members of the cabinet: the spotlight is not on them. If you go digging, you'll find them. They just don't typically attract the same attention firms like Bridgewater do because they don't typically seek more capital for its own sake just to spin off more funds.
Could we just sum this up by saying regulatory capture?
