Well, it's not germane to the discussion. The issue of whether there are positive psychological consequences of discipline and motivation and whether there are positive moral implications of virtue are completely unrelated topics. Pancakes taste good with maple syrup, but it doesn't do much to address the thing the first argument actually says.

In terms of ways in which "discipline" and "motivation" might provide benefits such as battling depression... I could see arguments both for and against as plausible. Feeling that restrictions on your actions are entirely of your own choosing is tremendously helpful at reducing the negative consequences of harmful stimulus, that is supported by research. I am unaware of any research that says it can actually tip the needle the other direction and make a negative stimulus into a positive, but it could be possible. Then again, there are a billion other ways in which our volition is infringed upon on a daily basis by society flagrantly which probably contribute far more to depression and anxiety and similar problems than anything minor like what limits you might put on yourself, so taking away just that bit should probably not be a noticeable change.

The problem most people have with "virtue" arguments (and I share in this) is that if there is a REASON something should be avoided, then the reason suffices. If there is no reason, then you are inherently wrong to advocate that other people avoid it. And trying to paper over the situation with societal shame is just repugnant.

Target was able to get the spooky results because there is in fact a real correlation: girls who switch from scented products (soaps) to unscented are very likely to buy a maternity clothing in a couple months, and a few months latter baby products. Note that this all starts because then girl was buying scented products at target to begin with, and so the change in habit was the important part.

I couldn't agree less. First off, they're not going out of business, just letting 20% go and one would assume refocusing. I think the site is set up to get good answers and not just the first upvotes as answers stick around and users can vote answers up or down as they see fit. The first answers on older questions tend to be very long and in-depth and give a lot of good information about the pros and cons of the approach they discuss. (If you want something really in-depth, check out https://codereview.stackexchange.com/.) The ones that get closed as opinion based are almost entirely asking for software recommendations or the like. I've rarely seen an objectively answerable question closed as being opinion-based.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 3.3.1 Premium Crack Serial Key [Latest]
I had an eye-opening conversation with a co-worker recently, who unexpectedly disagreed with me about the fact that CO2 was causing global warming. She is an intelligent mechanical engineer, who seems to be very progressive otherwise.

Eventually she revealed that the reason that she feels this way is because she is a pretty serious Christian who is trying to reconcile her creationist upbringing with modern science. Since historical CO2 levels are obtained from a "fossil record" of arctic ice cores and geological samples, the evidence for the historical correlation between global warming and CO2 presupposes a certain age and history of the earth which contradicts the creationist myths.

I am sure that this is a common issue among such people, since if such a person is to accept the geological evidence for anthropogenic global warming, they have to face a deep contradiction to a long-held worldview and belief system (a contradiction that is actually tangential to the issue of global warming.)

Regression only happens when you fix a specific bug and re-introduce it in later code revisions. If it happens the first time, it's just a bug. If you fix it and it happens a second time, THEN it becomes a regression.

It really doesn’t help when people aren’t informed about what other people are arguing.

Many Republicans, for example, think the damage is manageable, and they’d rather deal with the consequences later. You simply are considered an alarmist for bringing up climate change.
>It seems increasingly that web content is being delivered in video form. That itself is hostile to some people. Some of us want the freedom to read (or scan quickly). But many of the providers of "content" know they have little to provide, so they drag it out in video form, saving the actual information for the last 10% of the video (if ever!) This I find incredibly hostile

Isn't that a kind of entitlement?

I might prefer text myself, but it's up to the content provider, who gives me FREE content, to put up whatever they like.

And they have a reason that they put out videos, as they are much more popular with certain demographics.
i doubt it. i would guess a much larger proportion of their audience uses ad blockers than the normal consumer media site.
I find this "self-interest" kind of argument very common among conservative friends and family. They also say "follow the money". I have had great difficulty in understanding why they choose to apply these conspiratorial standards to those who promote addressing climate change but not to the massive oil cabal in plain sight that all but controls the global economy.
i remember that expert-sex-change was blocked by our schools filter. thinking about it triggers a vague angry feeling, no specific reason other than, possibly, often repeated disappointment the answer wasn't readable.
As far as I know the barriers are even higher for layoffs. You can not, for example, arbitrarily pick which workers to layoff but have to minimize the social impact when you have to choose between several employees doing the same work, for example take age, spousal support, and things like that into consideration. But I am totally not an expert and I am sure it is a vastly more complex topic than I can imagine.
I'm saddened by this because despite agreeing with the essay I know that I'm complicit in it by virtue of working in e-commerce (same could be said of most if not all commercial web ventures).

"I can calculate the movement of stars, but not the madness of men,"

- Newton after he lost everything investing in the south sea bubble for a second time, just before it popped.

This has gained mainstream attention and no-one knows what they’re investing in any more, there is no there there to justify the price. Consider the trajectory of chain - a bitcoin startup that has gone from being about bitcoin to about block chains to about distributed ledgers to being about distributed applications (note these last things don’t care what they’re denominated in).

A founder wrote one of the best write ups of this space I’ve seen, and even he is pretty skeptical:

All it needs now is for ordinary people to get nervous and start trying to realise their gains all at once for prices to plummet once again.
For most economic bubbles, one way you can track/detect them via correlated market is signals that diverge.

For example, the housing bubble in 2008 was detected when rental and mortgage prices diverged greatly.

Since the bare-bones value of Bitcoin is tied to the cost of computation power and electricity to mine, you could theoretically track the price of bitcoin vs. the cost of the computational power to mine bitcoin at it's current block difficulty.
I won't even consider buying a phone without a headphone jack. To me it would be like buying a computer without USB ports. The technology is decades old, still works perfectly, and there isn't a suitable replacement for it yet.

After 22 years as a smoker, I was at a point where I didn't really like smoking anymore. I knew I was addicted, and I smoked plenty, but I didn't enjoy it. So, after getting a stomach bug during a visit to Mexico where smoking was making me ill, I took the opportunity to order two vape pens for my wife and I, and never turned back. I think it helped that she did it with me.

I'm very fortunate in that I don't crave cigarettes any more. My wife will still bum one on occasion if we're drinking or camping. I might have a cigar once every month or so, but I have no interest in more than that, and cigarettes completely gross me out now.

As for this thread, I don't always vape when I hang out with the smokers. Or even when I do, vaping just takes a quick puff. I'll generally stick around while the smokers finish their cigarettes.

In regards to willpower, I'm still addicted to nicotine. I don't mind being addicted to it. I'm glad I found a way to do it that doesn't involve literally sucking on burning paper and plants. That said, I've been halving the nicotine content of my juice annually. I should be completely off in two years.
I'm willing to be that many of his family and friends are Conservative, his trusted sources of information are Conservative, and that the famous people and politicians he looks up to are Conservative. All those authority figures in his life are likely unanimous is denying climate change.

Then since he self-identifies as Conservative there's a very strong desire to be consistent with those beliefs and community.

Being intelligent doesn't mean you're suddenly immune to psychological tricks and ploys. If anything it can be used to make more sophisticated sophistries.
I tried to hire through them recently. It was a joke of a process. More like the way uaed cars are sold. Don't contact us, we'll contact you. No price displayed, we negotiate that depending on how much you can afford. The sign up system simply didn't work, saying I had already signed up but then the next button simply didn't work. They did get back to me a week later.

You also forgot the slow unboxing if it's a product review. I mean I guess some people like that, but for me, it's just another point in favor of text.
Sure, but that's not a database running in Docker, it's "external storage to store state". Which is the right way of doing things if you're ok with your data persisting on the server.

Then how did things like the Paris accord come to exist in the first place? It's strange, somehow the world manages to cooperate on things like the internet, international banking, and all sorts of other stuff - not perfectly, but substantively - and yet the notion of cooperation on this one issue is 'impossible.'

Wikipedia's primary purpose is not to bring in cash, it's a non-profit, so the money is going towards mission-related activities and supporting the site. Generally, the current level is enough to support the site (check also [1] which is meant to ensure at least basic level of support more or less forever). If donations dry up (which they don't seem to be) the activities may be reduced, but "bringing in a lot of cash" by itself is not really the purpose, the cash is the means to get things done. It's a bit different for for-profit establishments when usually getting profit on the investment is at least one of the goals of the whole deal.

My first thought is that maybe there is an issue with inner class definitions here. Not sure how you'd define an inner data class but I'm guessing it would be similar to regular classes. If I have a `public class data` already in my codebase and then I have places where I declare a `data variable1` I think that there is potential for issues.

I don't have much experience with grammars but I feel like the more contextual the parsing rule the more likely there will be nasty edge cases.

>I do agree that not everything is imposed by evil corps, but hostile products don't necessarily fail by their own: cigarettes and junk foods are just one example of this.

Cigarettes and junk foods are not hostile -- they are incredibly enticing. What they are is harmful (which is something different).

Video, similarly, whether harmful or not, is very welcome by lots of people who strongly prefer it to reading.

I went back and forth over email with Jonathan Blow a while back and my opinion is that C++ is moving in a direction where it addresses most of his concerns about its suitability for game programming, though he doesn't agree. I wrote a few blog posts elaborating on why, starting with: http://blog.mattnewport.com/why-c17-is-the-new-programming-l...

I should revisit the topic in light of the latest progress with C++ and to correct some errors in those posts but I continue to believe that C++ is getting better as a language for games.

There is a somewhat legitimate argument that C++ is too complex but I don't believe you can make a convincing case that it justifies creating a whole new language (which will inevitably come with its own quirks, idiosyncracies and complexities) rather than engaging with the development of C++ itself.

Apple crushes earnings, sees record holiday quarter
Yeah, I hear ya. My "systematic profits" comments was in reference to a few firms and individuals I've observed over time. These people have some sort of structural or informational edge in the markets.

There are commodity trading firms that are such substantial players in the markets they trade that they control that market. Certain High Frequency firms have scale and breadth of resources to get higher quality data, faster connections and hire guys that rewrite Linux process schedulers in assembly. Warren Buffet's secret weapon is that he never sells (so you never realize a loss!).

The point being - anything else is gambling. And these guys - who look at a market structurally instead of some sort of casino - will eat your lunch in the long run. Their "edge" is actually orthogonal to price fluctuations.

Just my 2 cents.
Yes, but you forget "water cooler talk". Having worked at a large hedge fund that went through a massive layoff after a sub par year (we still made 10%) that resulted in 2/3s of all IT employees, roughly 600 people, being terminated. The announcement was made over email. First, all consultants/contractors were immediately shown the door. Those we wanted to keep were converted to salaried employees. This was the week before Thanksgiving in the US. Volunteers to be laid off from employees were asked for the Monday before Thanksgiving. Long of it was morale tanked. I informally asked my director to be let go and was told not to formally ask for it as they weren't going to cut me and it wouldn't look good in my official record. I saw a lot of friends and great developers walked out the door. The layoff was bad enough in of itself, but watching it dragged out over a few weeks was brutal.
I still lean on item 1 being the most correct. I know modern society is built on a "do anything" approach but in reality we're under the gun of biology and evolution and as such only certain behavioral patterns are actually successful. I found losing weight and staying fit got a lot easier when I focused on discipline instead of quick fixes like Atkins. There's an art to pushing back on that neurological trigger craving that dopamine shot and it can be learned. (Of course, if a pill comes out to help you with that trigger, then we're golden). Or more practically, a way to produce leptin and ghrelin in the body so hunger and craving response goes way down.

I'm not saying I'm "against" the pill, but no pill is going to magically erase 1,000+ calories of over-eating or clear out all the awful things excess sugar and other carbs may do. It may certainly mitigate them, but like the person I know who got lapband surgery eventually found out, his eating just adapted to his new limitations (ice cream, sweets, etc dont take much room and are very high energy) and he gained weight after a while. We'll pop the pill, eat like pigs, and be at the same weight or higher after a while.

I imagine if this becomes a mass market medicine, its effective applications will be outside of weight control and more towards helping people achieve a certain level of fitness especially those with limited mobility or illness. Its not something you're going to buy able to buy over the counter for 'free' workouts. The same way you can't buy testosterone or steroids OTC.

Casinos & arcades sort of solve this problem. You walk & buy tokens, then use these tokens to spend, which can then be cashed back out when you're done. Also credit card transactions can be reversed up to months later, so in the grand scheme of things 10 minutes is not so bad, if big retail outlets wanted to make it work they could.
