Maybe?

Bad people can still be the recipients of injustices or undue hardship. For an extreme example, you can still feel bad for a thief who gets tortured extensively.

You can even feel sorry for people who are led to ruin by their own hubris/etc. For an actual example: It's not insane to feel sorry for Travis Kalanick. Yeah, he sounds like a bad person. It would still really suck to see your "magnum opus" swept away from you. Did he need to be removed? Yes. Would I like to be friends with him? No. Do I still feel bad for him? Yeah, kinda.

Sure, the guy from the article kinda sounds like a dirtbag. Still, he was shunned from his family (and a close family at that) and is essentially losing all of his close social network because of staunch religious beliefs that most of us would call silly. That sucks.

People don't have to fall into this binary classification of "sympathetic" or "unsympathetic". I can feel bad for him losing his family and wife, but feel no sympathy for his financial situation.

As an aside, this is also part of what makes leaving cults so hard: The thought of losing your entire social circle, including your immediate family, is daunting. If you want to know why more people are involved in cults despite being seemingly normal, this is a big part of it.

If your wife is open, try IVF. Also, if her eggs are non viable (which becomes more likely after 40), frozen donor eggs are increasingly affordable (~$15,000-$20,000) and the success rate at some clinics crossed north of ~70% recently. There are several clinics which list donors' psychological profiles (including IQ), national/ethnic pedigree, physical attributes, and provide photos. The following clinic provides the above, is based out of Chicago, and is often recommended at PVED.org:

https://www.advancedfertility.com/donor-egg-success-rates.ht...

...there's another clinic based out of San Diego which is often recommended, though its prices were a bit higher than the former option as of a couple years ago. PVED should have the exact name.

Good luck to you and your wife.
My understanding of Greylisting is that there’s only a delay the first time someone contacts you so this shouldn’t be a problem
> What it us about parenthood that makes people think we should just present only happy side of it constantly and ever talk about side we don't like or cost us?

This seems like an unfair interpretation of the above. Absolutely talk about the parts you don't like, just acknowledge that you followed a path of your own choosing (whether the consequences were expected or not).

Kind of like smokers getting cancer, or needle-sharers getting HIV: the social context requires a little humility.
My little one makes me so deeply happy that none of the downsides are really that bad, but I tend to overplay them because I feel like doing otherwise would be gloating.

I noticed a similar pattern with other parents I talk with. They all have complaints, they got no sleep last night, child cried all morning, wouldn't eat dinner, etc. but behind all those words you can see a glimmer of something in their face that tells me they are downplaying as well.
What are you talking about? If someone steals your gold, your recourse is the police force upholding civil law. The situation with Bitcoin would be identical.

When people speak about military backing of currency value, they do not imply that you can expect Her Majesty's Royal Navy to come out in full force should your British Pounds get stolen.

Of all the criticisms about Bitcoin, that was an unusual one. There are no special courts for stolen cars, cattle or currency. There's just the regular ones.

You should consider adoption. You'll get to be a dad and you wont have to worry about the issues related to your wife having a child in her 40's.
Way to pile on the guilt ;)
This comment is a spot on example of the behavior stdbrouw was advocating against further up in the thread. The nobility of having a child should not be factored into the decision. There is no "greater good" agenda pushing people to reproduce. It is a personal decision that each and every one of us need to come to terms with.
meh, all your genes are in loads of other people.
I don't really disagree with your two points. It is the rhetoric of "resort to metaphors" that rings a bell to me.

I agree the shared metaphors of notation and common jargon should be preferred as a starting point. I just don't have faith that they are the clear way out of misunderstanding. More, I think it is unrealistic to think this is something that should only be done with "outsiders". Rather, I think we are all using some common language, and shaking up to new language can shake out misunderstandings that were simply not being voiced.
This is like saying you can learn to write a perfect program, without ever writing one. Sure, while maybe theoretically possible, I'll take someone with 10 years of experience over 10 years of study everyday. Because at some point, experience is a thing; having lived through the event and having the scars. And that experience is really an irreplaceable part of being human and the learning process.
> The authors also note that adjusting for socioeconomic status does not eliminate the black-white IQ gap. However, they argue that the gap is narrowing.

There are known environmental factors in IQ (most notably, early childhood environment factors), and because of de jure and de facto segregation (including redlining), which was quite active until fairly recently historically and continues to have substantial lingering effects on people's environment (even if all such active practices were ended, and some of the de facto practices have not been, that would still be true for a long time unless you randomly relocated the whole population to erase the impacts), so adjusting for socio-economic status other than race does not actually control for the environmental factors that contribute to IQ.

As such, the effect identified could plausibly be environmental, which would also explain why it is weakening over time with the elimination of some and erosion of other segregationist practices.
Yeah fair enough. I’ve never used Greylisting before, is there not some folder you can go to to view the emails which have been deleted due to first contact? Like the spam folder or something?
I think the simplest explanation is that the transport uses a fixed allocation of bandwidth between upstream and downstream flows, and they've chosen an allocation that matches typical workloads. It looks like full-duplex DOCSIS (data-over-coax protocol) was just announced last year:

Say your bank lends you $1000, into your bank account.

The bank's assets and liabilities balance out. The new deposit is a liability and the loan is an asset. The bank's total deposits rise by $1000. Because normal deposits count towards M2 money, and this new deposit appeared out of thin air, the M2 rises by $1000. New money has been created.

Banks do have to make sure that they meet their capital and reserve requirements, e.g. if they find themselves short they can increase their reserve by taking out a loan from the central bank.
Meltdown is a specific type of Spectre exploit.

Completely false. There's been no reputable reporting that substantiates that claim.

Possibly. But harvesting that heat directly to 'motion' would probably not be feasible. Storing that on batteries may be better, as they can be slowly trickle charged, but provide a lot of power when there is demand.

This is also a stroke system (Wubi) that's more popular and faster in China too. Maybe it's a related system to the one in Taiwan. Pinyin makes sense only if you're already familiar with the Latin alphabet and how they sound. Those are literally foreign concepts to the Chinese.
I started reading some of Tesla's speeches recently, and one thing that struck me was how he happily talks about enormous flaws in the implementations of his designs, but still went on to prove that they were POSSIBLE even if the practical design might have to wait.

His idea for ultra-efficient high-voltage, high-frequency AC power lines is a good example. It would probably work, but his proposed system required liquid insulation on the wires; it would be important to keep gases out of the medium, and the slightest break in a solid insulation like rubber or silicone (or gutta-percha) could basically turn the wire into the business end of a tesla coil.

So...I don't understand enough about the subject to say for sure, but we probably landed on 50-60Hz for a reason. I wonder why this one didn't wind up working out, but I'll bet it's described somewhere in the application which I've only skimmed.

Also, for anyone else trying to dive into it, 'condenser' = 'capacitor' in olde-speak.
You still need to narrow things to a specific mailbox/unit number in any case. GPS coordinates by themselves wouldn't always be sufficient for deliveries,
Attempting to schedule something in a way that minimizes conflicts doesn't necessarily imply that it's not the most important thing on the schedule.

> Given how long everything takes when dealing with immigration, it's not exactly surprising that they aren't able to accommodate people's schedules.

If things take a long time, it shouldn't make much difference to them whether they do an interview this week or next. It's surprising that everything takes a long time though, from a certain point of view anyway.

Are community-run broadband providers cheaper because they are subsidized by taxes?
I think having children is pretty selfish also. You bring a child into this world... for what? To see yourself continued in the next generation? To make some future friends for yourself? To have that experience? How are these not selfish things? Both choices are selfish in different ways. The fact that one requires some personal sacrifice doesn't make it selfless.

Agreed. The whole idea that forking can be hostile is kind of silly. Open source is riddled with examples of successful and unsuccessful forks. If a fork is better than the original version, it usually wins. If not, it dies.

Take CU Sudo, for example. A fork of sudo later became the default implementation of sudo because the original development group stopped working on it. It would have been silly for it to call itself anything other than sudo, given its function.

Personally I also really like a lot of the talks from Tony Robbins when it comes to emotional intelligence and personal psychology. I listen to them on youtube while I'm cleaning fairly often. He can be a bit over the top and rambly for some people though and I do disagree with some things. But it's a good starting point on what to think about.
Since you asked for more depth, I'll focus on the (comparatively easier) task of giving some links to technical literature. First of all, if you already have a traditional QFT background, there's the two extremes of either just taking a simple toy example to play with [1] or a fairly rigorous well written lecture course [2]. For a more general physics/math background I'd recommend a slightly more pedagogical treatment [3], but it's still accurate to the subject matter and therefore contains graduate level mathematics. There's a lot more out there, but these are just some of the descriptions I've personally skimmed and found them to be well written and useful.

On the other end of the scale, there's a huge amount of popular documentaries out there that purport to say something about AdS/CFT. Most of them either contain nonsense or don't say very much at all. I don't really know how useful the popular analogies really are, but in the spirit of making at least one recommendation that doesn't contain any math, Susskind's public lectures are easy to watch (here's one [4]), and Susskind is careful not to talk nonsense.

There isn't really much on AdS/CFT that's in between graduate level mathematics and math-less popular stuff. The reason is that it's a fairly irreducible concept in the sense that you really need to understand what an anti-de Sitter space is and how conformal field theories work to see why there's a mathematical correspondence between them, and this isn't truly analogous to anything simpler. That's why it's very hard to explain beyond the level of vague metaphors without being rigorous about it.

> Are community-run broadband providers cheaper because they are subsidized by taxes?

No, they are cheaper because the local monopolists/duopolists can charge the customers through the nose, as they don't have any alternative. Any form of competition leads to a reduction in costs for the consumer.

In addition, stuff like eight-digit compensations (Comcast: 37.5M $ for the CEO alone, https://www1.salary.com/Stephen-B-Burke-Salary-Bonus-Stock-O...), marketing (TV ads, but also sponsoring, e.g. Comcast/ESL) or the costs associated with running e.g. decades-old mainframe stuff for CRM/financial systems or simply maintaining even older copper lines vs brand new fibre stuff sums up to quite a bunch of money - humble local ISPs don't have all that crap and therefore can pass on the savings to customers.

A lot of life events are the same way.

I think that using an example of people misinterpreting and then spreading something without having familiarized themselves with the original sources to claim that social media makes us dumber is pretty dumb.

> tl;dr - I made it about two paragraphs in before I started skimming. It's a rambling an uninteresting rant against the self-help industry, which ends with a recommendation for another self-help book. I fail to see what point the author is trying to make.

An essay of this length should communicate something that is not necessarily digestible into a single point. In fact, it's arguable that a good essay cannot be summarized into a single point, and that the entire article needs to be taken as a whole before the full nuance of what it's attempting to convey can be understood. Sometimes "the point" is difficult to articulate and that, in my opinion, is something to be desired across all artistic forms.

I see this sort of criticism on the internet very often, as if people expect writers to create digestible, elementary essays that they can only vaguely engage with and still walk away with something to agree or disagree with. Personally, I demand more of both the writing I read on the internet, as well as myself.

Not to defend this particular essay too hard, but the conclusion does the exact opposite of recommend another self help book. Literally the final paragraph is the shrugging off of self-help books entirely.
Hopefully more U.S. citizens stand up and push back against this bullshit. As for me, a foreigner living in the U.S., there's really nothing I could do other than complying, since they can just kick me out at any time.

> I was talking to my financial advisor the other day and he said pretty much 100% of people now are asking him about crypto and are considering putting money in.

100% of those are not interested in cryptocurrency at all, they are interested in anything that goes from bottom left to top right if charted against their local denomination. They don't want crypto, they want fiat and see crypto merely as a possible means to that end. This translates precisely to "Crypto is only backed by greed", which is exactly what people mean when they call it overvalued.

(I call 100% and not 99%, because those few genuinely interested in crypto would not bother asking their financial advisor)

How about google map pins? Would that help?
I agree. This error has a pretty happy ending, but I think more political and ideological diversity in academia and journalism would help to spot these errors sooner and improve the overall quality of science and science journalism. In particular, in this case, a progressive research firm was trusted by academics who were trusted by journalists. Mistakes will happen regardless, but I wonder if a more skeptical eye somewhere in the pipeline would have caught this error sooner. Fortunately, there are bipartisan organizations like [Heterodox Academy][0] which are working to correct this.
