Well, I can see the point of leaving a trail that shows you aren't fraudulently claiming the file is zero bytes. Otherwise, it's just your word.
Yes, exactly.

Big media has several tools available:

- Choose which stories to run
- Choose which stories not to run
- Choose which stories to allow discussion boards on
- More obvious mechanisms, like slanted coverage

Used together, they make an impressive suite of persuasion tools.

"Microcosmic God" doesn't seem freely available to me.
He may regret his decision, but if the offer was what we have, not where we rank, I am sure he would be very interested.

We take for granted so much that was beyond the richest and most powerful people in history. Just being able to sleep safely in bed without fear of being killed while you slept was something that was beyond almost all emperors.
You shouldn't overstate the homogeneity.

We're probably more homogeneous here in European Union. Granted, China is a log bigger.

The biggest industrial centers (like Guangdong or even Shanghai) don't even use Mandarin on a daily basis.

Yes, alas, the thing that makes this whole thing going is the central government.
Haha does that mean that "prog" and "cons" designers actually have basically identical tastes, and fixate on tiny insignificant differences while ignoring a whole universe of design possibility? That would explain how fast Twitter gets new things out the door...

In regards to (a), isn't it more about not reifying your thoughts and sensations? This might be semantics though; I do agree that the path of not becoming a slave to thoughts and sensations starts with acknowledging them.
If you have this line of thinking I think you’ll already be looking at a watering system, or even simple pots with a water reserve. Your needs for friends looking after your plants will already be minimal, and be reduced to asking them to fill the tanks once every three or four weeks.

For me people who need to educate friends about how to deal with their plants are playing on a different field, in a different game altogether (and I’ll flat refuse to deal with kind of PITA)
Bitcoin hits a new record high above $5,100
We aren't comparing being a barfly with online dating, we are talking about online dating replacing how couples traditionally meet - which has been mainly through friends or through family.

BTW, it's pretty easy to get dates in most social places (not just bars, but bars are included) if you have good social skills. Having good social skills also makes other aspects of your life better in as well.

Problem with online dating is it seems to make people fickle and overly critical, which is the reason I gave up online dating. Few years later I meet my spouse, in a bar.
I "automated" (trained?) my kid to make her own breakfast at the weekends so I can sleep longer.

Started when she was around 4, it's easier now she's 7.

Lots of parallels with hacking code:

* Specific rules (if there are more than 2 stars showing on your clock, it's too early to get up)

* Trial and error (put cereal in a jar and loosen the lid slightly, put milk in a tiny jug at the bottom of the fridge)

* Optimisation (if you don't want cereal, don't wake me up, but have a yogurt instead)

* Enhancement (feed the cat, so it doesn't wake me up either)

I'm not lazy, sleep is important :)

I would suggest to check developments on github or official channels. Active project usually have a lot of activity on github or push out a lot of other developments that are being actively discussed within the crypto community like on slack channels. Another point is: if you cannot reliably measure the progress of a company or project, maybe you should not invest in it or keep the exposure very limited.
I like your description. It's similar to how I describe meditation to people who have no experience with it, although I usually say:

When you're focused on something interesting, you easily are able to follow the stream of your own consciousness. It feels like one solid river of focus. It's only when your mind is bored that your stream of consciousness unravels. It's that unraveling that we tend to avoid and disregard. We don't wish to carefully examine those moments between focus on interesting things. Meditation forces those unravelings and teaches us how to recognize them, observe them more clinically, and manage a higher (meta) level of control over them.

Zach was one of the developers I idolized when I moved to San Francisco in 2011. From what I saw, he had everything going for him. Sub 10th employee at one of the hottest startups, amazing blog posts, amazing talks, great developer, ability to travel the world. He was the man. After the whole GitHub shakeup, I started hearing less and less from him and since I didn't know him personally, I never reached out. After reading this, I'm happy to see that he's in a really good place.

I hope your best days are a head of you and I wish you the best Zach!
Kubernetes monitoring with Prometheus
Yes, I meant that, sorry that it was not clear.
I'm not familiar with clusterssh, but assuming that it passes flags to ssh you can add `-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no`.

Of course, the parameter does what it says, but the security implications are really the same as for blindly yessing your way through. The best is to pre-populate your hosts file using ssh-keyscan.

I can second that recommendation. My brain prefers the more intellectual writings about zen, but I'm aware that this is somewhat counter to the whole point of zen. This book comes closest to getting me into the kind of mindset where I want to go and meditate. It's also just a really nice collection of 'sermons' to 'meditate' upon.
What is wealth?

In my opinion at the most fundamental level it is just a representation of access to raw materials and especially to labor. Everything else is ultimately just a derivative of those. Being a king would provide a practically endless supply of both. That wealth enables you to have the resources to try to make the world a better place, and certainly to be able to enjoy all the world has to offer.

Of course we have become vastly wealthier in some ways. Education in particular is something that has always been a product of wealth, and to this very day still is. Nonetheless, any individual with an internet connection now has access to what is, at least ostensibly, an MIT caliber education - for free. The lack of education is no doubt a part of the reason for why the peasants stayed peasants.

But nonetheless, royalty of past times would of course have had access to the absolute best education available of the time. It's phenomenally interesting reading things like 'The King's Mirror' [1]. Various translations are available at the bottom. It was written in the 13th century intended as a childhood educational tool for a king. It's surreal considering that it was written about 800 years ago.

Ultimately I think things like having a fluffier bed (to reference an anecdote from this thread) or access to electronic gadgetry is hardly a meaningful measurement of wealth. As you mention, if somebody wants to just live their life in pure hedonism now a days there are many ways to do so - much as in the past people could have just drunk themselves to death in the past (or present). But hedonism becomes rapidly unfulfilling. And it leaves us wanting to create, to produce. And wealth is what enables one to fulfill this most fundamental and intrinsic desire that's what brought us from primate to man. And the middle today are vastly far away from the middle of times past, yet simultaneously still vastly far from the elite of times past.

I handle transfers between accounts manually - as in when I see duplicates show up, I remove one of them. A neat thing that ledger-reconciler does is to print the balance (as listed on the banking website) for each account. That information combined with Ledger's balance report tells me immediately whether something is off and if investigation is needed.

This in itself has saved me so much time that I can deal with manually editing the occassional duplicate entry (internal account transfers). I also keep all my ledger data in git so it's very easy to see what has changed, etc.

Worst case the two scenarios equate to the same thing. Namely there's one or more people you need to trust indefinitely.

Best case however is where they differ a lot. Best case for this method is trusting someone once. Best case for the other method is still trusting one or more people indefinitely.

Yes, I meant acknowledging thoughts as "things" which you can observe, pay attention to or ignore as you will.
Sad to say I can't find it. But it had interviews of top sellers of t-shirts. These people would literally type random English letters into online search engines (obviously not Google) and see what got auto-suggested. Then they'd choose the auto-suggestions that literally looked the prettiest or coolest to them. Maybe change a letter here or there to make it look even more cool. Then off to the t-shirt printers.

~10 years ago I wanted to be able to take advantage of watching video on this newfangled iPhone thing, but most content was not yet readily available or purchasable in a format that could be played - specifically I wanted to watch The Daily Show and Colbert Report.

I had a chain of apps and scripts which would watch for a forum torrents of those, download them, use handbrake to convert them, add them to my iTunes library, then generate new .torrent files and post the mobile friendly versions back to the forum (gotta keep that ratio up).

Things are much easier and less legally sketchy nowadays :)

I'm quite excited about CBT, but I think it's kind of a half-way-there step towards meditation/mindfulness, and in my personal case it actually was counter-productive in a way that meditation hasn't been.

The core difference, I'd say, is that with CBT there is still too much emphasis on your thoughts. You're taught to use your own thinking to counter those thoughts, which is a bit like pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps.

In my case, that made an anxious mind more anxious, because the anxiety itself is usually irrational and caused by thoughts.

Again, I'm quite excited by CBT because I do think it can be very effective. But I'm even more excited about some of the 'newer' approaches under the CBT umbrella that don't suffer from the flaw of still relying on your irrational mind to solve irrational problems.
Yes, although there are a lot of diversions from that, for instance Farage and UKIP (who are anti establishment social conservatives) got substantially more coverage than was reflected in their polling. There are a lot of social conservative voices given a lot of coverage, and in positions of power (within a British context, more defense of the British Empire, Euroscepticism and than evangelical Christianity) like Paxman, Andrew Neil, Humphreys, Melanie Philips etc.

Also, I'd say their economics coverage is reactive, it's framed around the Budget, major speeches from prominent politicians, research or press releases from the OBR, IFS, the IMF or similar organizations. It reports those positions, then goes to opposition parties or other figures to ask for comment. The problem for left wing parties is that doesn't give much space to get across a completely different narrative, but that is frankly not the BBC's role.

How complex are your cats?

With mine it always boils down to

* feed half a can per cat twice a day

* $pickyCat prefers this stack of cans

* feed $lessPickyCat separate so he can't steal the other one's food

Unlike plants, cats don't randomly die because you fed them an hour late or because they had to skip a meal two days ago.

Dog people say cats are evil but some plants just seem to be intent on killing themselves.
The inside of the roll has an NFC chip in it. The NFC has information on color, amount of filament left, temperature settings etc.

I call it DRM because you can't edit it without a reverse engineered NFC key.

Another side to the DRM thing is that if you use inferior input material and the printer has a quality issue, customers are going to blame the printer and not the filament.

Value added DRM I guess

At some point, your shit owns you.

A few years ago, I was forced to move in with my gf (long story) She owned a house, filled with her own stuff. I was left with no option but to dispense with furniture etc. Some was sold, some given away, some donated. I moved in with my clothes, some memento's and heirlooms and some kitchen utensils (just in case it didn't work out).

I moved everything in two loads of my truck. Over the years, theirs been times where I was considering moving out. Not having to deal with all that STUFF is intensely freeing. Call it an awakening through involuntarily minimalism.

The only acceptable explanation would be that they weren't aware and didn't intend for this to happen.

Any other scenario means that they intentionally and secretly included code into their compiled binaries which posed a security and privacy risk.
Spanner has a lot of tradeoffs too, I'm not sure what do you see as problematic in Cockroach, joins are good enough. The biggest tradeoffs are inherent to strongly consistent distributed systems. Even precise clocks and fast networks won't help as much as you might think. You still have to accept vastly different latencies and performance than in traditional single-node RDBMSs.
Number two seems not right. For the path you’re talking about to be useful, shouldn’t it still work even if you’re the last person on left on Earth? Number two also assumes that the majority of people are also searching for truth (seems they aren’t, currently) or have already found it (which would require that they’d been already searching).

Consciousness exists on many levels with many co-processes. Without careful meditative practices, we tend to view our minds along a linear path as we change our focus from thought to thought. We are immersed in our stream of consciousness. That stream is our identity.

Meditation forces a meta-examination of that stream and recognize that it isn't the one flowing river that you normally feel it to be. Meditation allows you to exercise other levels of your consciousness that can recognize, observe, and even control those other parallel threads of consciousness.

I have read that there are possible pitfalls for people already suffering from paranoid schizophrenic-ish disorders. I think they're already dealing with an out-of-control sense of not having a single stream of consciousness that they always recognize as themselves.

I can only speak for myself, but I don't find the sensation of a multi-threaded "me" all that alarming. YMMV

>but they're not entirely so and seem to be capturing some patterns that my brain is picking up that I can't articulate through other mechanisms.

Drugs made me more aware of how routinely our brains mildly hallucinate in ways that are designed to be imperceptible so as to 'smooth over' our perception of the world (i.e. our blind spots https://visionaryeyecare.wordpress.com/2008/08/04/eye-test-f... ).

It always seemed as if drug-induced hallucinations were less some kind of emergent or externally-imposed phenomenon and more of the drugs simply ratcheting up the misfire rate on normal systems of consciousness like face recognition, pattern recognition, piecing together incomplete information via extrapolation from memory, etc.

Learning to recognize this kind of 'misfire' and label it as distinct from objective reality was enormously helpful to me when it occurred to my emotions later, because of bipolar disorder.

There isn't "intellectual property", there is copyright, utility, patents, trademarks, design patents, ship hull design rights, and a bunch of others.

What's the law that gives people in some jurisdictions exclusive rights over collected data? Is it copyright again? I ask because I would like to learn more about this law, and it's difficult to do so if I don't even know what it's called. The term "intellectual property" adds confusion towards understanding the particulars.

Btw, as an interesting bit of trivia, the lack of copyrightability of data is why we have fun things like paper towns and other copyright traps:
