Timing plays a role into this too. If you're interested in getting into a discussion on a submission, you need to check the site frequently because after a few hours the discussion is going to be dead. Likewise, you need to make the comment fairly quickly instead of waiting a day or two to chime in. And after making a comment, there's pressure to check frequently to see if you got replies - again, if you wait for too long nobody is going to notice your reply back to them.

With the old web forums you could wait a day or two to respond or a day or two to check for replies. But the timing dynamic here (and on many other sites) encourages much more frequent checks and much more rapid-fire conversations.
I suppose this is the same reason TV executives didn't spend all day watching "As the world turns" and "the $64,000 question" back in the day.

They're the merchants, not the product. The people who watch all day are the product. The people who obsessively check their instagram feeds for uplikes (or whatever they're called this week) are the product.

I too am a social media conscientous objector.

Partly because FB said they won't always offer information I create to my "friends." So why should I create it?

Partly because I've really come to dislike getting sucked down a rabbit hole of stuff the social media companies machine learning knows will snag my attention.

Partly because fake nuz is worthy of protest and boycott.

Mostly because the charge humans get from accumulating "uplikes" is a soul-corrupting addiction. I could rant on about professor René Girard's mimetic theory and human yearning to think we're better than the next guy, and how one Peter Thiel helped FB corrupt Girard's work. But, bah. Back to work.

Good point. Although a bookmarklet can also ignore the current site and just open a new tab, it can't embed custom JavaScript into that new tab.

But at least it can open a new tab with a full-page iframe, which was just enough for me to implement my autoreload bookmarklet. [1]

Apart from that, I believe there are meta-extensions which provide a generic way to inject JavaScript into every page. This is just one extension, but manages multiple bookmarklets (or whatever they call these snippets).

My faith in the article's objectivity is called into question by the fact that it reports:

"An American Airlines flight attendant bullied a tired mother of twin babies over her stroller, and then readied himself to punch a passenger who rose to her defense."

Whereas the Guardian's account of what seems to be the same event is:

"Another passenger comes to her defence and threatens to punch the flight attendant, who in turn challenges the passenger to hit him."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/22/american-airli...
This is simply not true.

I'm not talking about the pop science articles you read who find the most outlandish quote they can find. (There are plenty of those now that say 1-3 years.) I'm talking about what the actual typical practitioner says.
> data suggests that Tether may not be minted independently of Bitcoin price and may be created when Bitcoin is falling

That should be obvious during normal Tether operation - price movement corresponds to increased liquidity. When funds move to dollars, Tether creates tokens to defend the price, otherwise the sell side of the tether pairs will dry up, forcing their price over 1$ where they would cease to be a stable useful unit.

This market driven creation of tokens is the main way tethers are created today. It's an open question if the Tether corporation has enough assets between it's bank accounts and exchange accounts to redeem the outlays - especially the exchange accounts are problematic, since they are of unknown liquidity. So Bitfinex might owe 1 billion dollars to Tether, but Tether might be in fact unable to cash them and unwilling to do so due to the close corporate relation.

But this "report" is a statistical farce from someone who doesn't understand anything about how it's supposed to work.
Problem with Math:

Moving people in class forward before mastery. I guarantee you that 95% of the problems with math is students don't have one or two concepts mastered and then they are forever unsure.

My strategy is I use Khan Academies Math assessment with kids all the way through their parents. https://www.khanacademy.org/math

My two youngest have been doing for a few years. My 1st grader has almost completed 3rd grade right now. I know he has accomplished all the steps previously. My 6th grader she is in per-algerbra and every time she brings in homework I know she doesn't understand what she was taught. It can take 20 minutes for her to get her head around the concept but then she is fine. I have found that if I use Khan Academy after the drama level is lower and I have found her telling me she watched the Khan Academy videos and she is fine. I'll watch her do two problems and if she nailed it we move on. Math requires as much intervention in 4th to 6th grade as reading did from K-3rd grade form me.

In the UK they have started trials of Mathematics mastery. You can't move on till you have mastered the previous step. They did it one year and saw a slight increase in scores. This has to be started from Kindergarten till 5th grade to really see a difference.

Being occupied with word shapes and word plays is fine! You and several other replies to that post focused on the word-play part of it, as if that was what I was reacting to, and I understand that, since I didn't really give you a lot more to work with. What I tried to bring attention to, however, was the way in which sentences like that break immersion. To me, a sentence like this takes me away from the fantasy world that I have so far been presented, and into some kind of (sorry I keep using this example, but it's really how I feel about it) Marvel movie where our heroes are engaged in friendly banter, or to some tumblr fanfic. That could of course be a problem with what I am expecting going into his universe, but I believe it is more of a problem of Sanderson not taking the time to properly refine his ideas before committing them to paper. Which, again, as many have pointed out, is due to the prolificness of his writing. That doesn't excuse it for me, though.

I am not looking for soaring prose - Mark Twain is great partly because of his ability to maintain the illusion of a rustic backwater society and the people within it. Star Wars is similar: When they stay within the expectations set up by their own universe, it's great! Trashcan robots are part of this! But as we have seen, whenever the dialogue takes you out of the universe and reminds you this is an illusion, fans do react ("I don't like sand...").

I also recognize that this has evolved way beyond where it started and this interaction on HN has influenced my thoughts about this. So I won't pretend what I'm saying now is 'what I had in mind from the beginning'.
I have the same problem! Sinkers unite!

My theory is that I keep less air in my lungs on a normal out breath than others.

I think your problem will be that CCLI is good enough for most people.

It would be like producing Creative Commons videos because you can't get Netflix or Youtube. Sure, it will help you and people in your situation...but most of the world already has easy access.

I found this bit from Wikipedia interesting:

> CCLI has expanded around the world to Australia, Botswana, Canada, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Zimbabwe, South Korea and as of 2016 can now serve most countries.

That's a few countries, and covers most of the big English-speaking ones (yes, India and China are not on the list and have more English speakers than many of the smaller countries) but in what way is that "most countries"?

Apparently, eating more than a teaspoon of tumeric a day increases the risk of kidney stones though, so don't overdo it.

I've been mixing it through my oatmeal, together with chilli-pepper and black pepper, a bit of cardamom, and a teaspoon of real cinnamon (the non-cumerin kind). While it feels like it works, I know that the placebo effect is probably much stronger than any real effect these foods have. Still, a placebo effect is still a real effect on my mood, so that's still a kind of health benefit I guess. If nothing else the spices help me wake up!

Tangent regarding health food fads: these days I mainly use nutritionfacts.org[0] to determine which of those are actually supported by the latest nutrition research. It is the only health food/diet website that I know of that directly cites nutrition research and continuously scours the latest papers for new findings - sources are always linked, and quotes are directly lifted from the papers with no modification (so less likely to suffer from "stronger or opposite of what the paper actually says"-shenanigans often seen elsewhere).

Some of the other things I tried out based on that website have too big of an effect to just be placebo: adding blue-berries to a meal really reduces sugar rushes/crashes in the hours after it[1]. Taking a table spoon of freshly broken flax seeds[2] does a lot to counter the rise in blood pressure due to my ADD medication (I measured it, plus I feel a lot less discomfort in my chest area and less jittery).

Last time I mentioned that website here, it was in a discussion of which diets are healthy. Ironically, it was the only comment in the discussion that attracted multiples downvotes without explanation, while everyone else was sharing their unsourced opinions.

I can’t sympathise enough with the author (Ms. Ellmann's) description of my home city - where she also lives - as a destination.

"Edinburgh, where I live, used to be a fine old mirthless town. Twenty-first century marketers have turned it into a fairground. Half the year the city’s few green spaces get trashed by Ferris Wheels, vomit, German Christmas markets, vomit, outdoor exhibitions and exhibitionists, vomit, coffee bars, beer tents, and ice-skating rinks.“

She captures the sentiment I’ve been mulling on recently: the city-as-theme-park. Once you take out the industry, possibly the finance (see Brexit) and nascent tech - what have you got left, apart from public sector? Is this a modern trend for our time? How many other cities around the world are increasingly dependent solely on travel and hospitality?
this is why I say it would have to be opt-in through something like a header or tag on the page in question (although I don't think doctype would work well for this).

I think that Shallan, as presented, is written lazily and with a way of thinking and talking that has been forcibly transplanted from our (as in, the World, 2018) current culture and into a fantasy universe, which is jarring to me.

Not sure about 'wealthy' but, yes, the costs of travel are often understated.

From the UK perspective, plenty of people travel but it's relatively short distances compared to the US.

There's also a lot of cheap-skating going too; like travelling as a couple and refusing to pay for designated seating but expecting other people to move so you can sit together; extending luggage restrictions as far as can be possible (what we call in the UK, taking the p*ss) and so on...

So, in other words, folks travelling on a limited budget for the privilege of being able to bore all their friends and family afterwards with their tales of exciting adventure to places like Barcelona, and such.

Aren't Reddit and in general forums much better at that?

With Facebook, you are using your true identity resulting in the pressure of having to post perfect content, you often have to post photos which are extremely time consuming to get right, the number of people who can "upvote" is very limited and the lack of a "downvote" button makes trolling for downvotes impossible.

On the other hand, a short but effective text post on Reddit or a forum can be done in a minute and potentially generate a huge flamewar and thousands of people upvoting or downvoting, and it doesn't matter if it turns out to be dumb or ineffective or otherwise bad.

And all you need is to just express the most controversial and hyperbolic take possible on a given existing subject, while on Facebook you'd need to come up with original content.

Finally, while Reddit might be accused of doing it intentionally for traffic, the web forums and newsgroups where this behavior started most definitely did not, so it's more of an intrinsic property of public one-to-many communication systems than something evil that Facebook came up with.

> Tether creates tokens to defend the price, otherwise the sell side of the tether pairs will dry up, forcing their price over 1$ where they would cease to be a stable useful unit.

This makes sense as to why they have to create Tether during rushes out of cryptocurrency, in order to stablize the price of Tether, but Tether seems to print whatever they want, whenever they want. That behavior is suspect as normally printing behavior is constrained by financial factors behind such a company. Central banks of smaller countries have tried to peg their local currencies against USD and other such things, but it often breaks those small country central banks when there are big price fluctuations.

I am of the opinion that USDT is not backed by USD but they are basically running a hedging operation, probably primarily invested in cryptocurrencies, in order to cover their expected risk exposure. That all works until a black swan event happens and then we realize that USDT is just a mirage and it is forced to unpeg from USDT (and don't fool yourself that it will appreciate once it is unpegged.)

Basically if you accept this claim that this is how USDT operates then it is a buffer against BTC falling as it injects money into the system at specifically those times.

And then because USDT is also backed by the same cryptocurrency (at least in part, I am pretty sure it isn't backed by actual USD) that it tends to prop up, we are into a incentuous circle that could potentially be popped.

It is scary as fuck that a lot of exchanges deal completely in cryptocurrencies and then also USDT as the only "real currency", but itself is also probably funny money.

I feel like I must be crazy because it seems like so much of this is a house of cards with USDT at the center of it.

You are in my opinion exactly right. But the implications are huge and it likely means that the whole cryptocurrency market is sort of fucked, and we are just waiting for the music to stop at this point.
