I don't agree with the notion that you need to "understand" to be empathetic. If a friend tells me that they're going through a rough time I feel like it's disingenuous for me to tell them that I understand their situation, even if I myself have been through difficult periods. I can't and don't feel like I should give the impression I can understand the nuance of their situation. I've found it's much more productive to be supportive in situations like that by saying things like, "I know I can't understand fully what you're going through right now, but that sounds really hard and if I can help in any way please let me know" versus "Yeah, I understand what you're dealing with."

If empathy is putting yourself in another person's shoes and that's the understood general definition... I don't think it's genuine to say that, "Yes, in these few seconds/minutes/hours since you've told me your problem I have gone through the effort of visualizing life from your perspective and I now understand all of your issues." Even if "I understand" is communicated with good intentions I feel like it rarely looks to productive discussion.
It's just so sad that you aren't going to get your war in Syria! This discussion is a microcosm of why: Wikileaks simply releases items of interest, while their competitors in the official Western media have to always worry about whether their reporting contributes to More War Always. Thus despite all the braying about Wikileaks' motives, the average thinking human automatically believes them more than the "Russia is teh devil" media firms.
If we define a set of criteria by which that tweet can be deemed “antisemitic”, then applying that same criteria to comments about white people made by countless progressive-minded journalists would deem those journalists fanatically anti-white.
One support team I used to work with prioritized "first touch resolution" for email cases as well, so the agents would answer every case with a 16-page DYI flowchart listing every single possible problem and its resolution. KPIs are hard...

Thank you for a reasonable response on a polarizing topic. Maybe you're right, and in fact maybe today an environmentally friendly car can't be made profitability, at least not without impurities in the process.

I do think Tesla is closer than anyone else, though, and while I personally think they'll make it, even if they don't, they'll certainly inspire or goad someone else into doing it, and that's a form of progress.
The conjecture is based on mathematics. If the majority of ratings are 10 out of 10, most raters don't have the ability to rank a future game higher than Gloomhaven. Because it's amassed so many 10s as rankings among its fan base, rating another game as a 9 hurts its chances of being on the top of the BGG rankings, which is a shift from previous ratings distributions of top games.

But yes, as the tail gets longer, we should expect to see more lower ratings assigned to Gloomhaven. What the author didn't do was compare to other top games early in their release cycle. I'm not sure how much effect this will have, though -- gamers are grognards, not so strongly influenced by the new and shiny as most people.

Why isn’t this possible using docker? I would assume you could still issue an nginx reload command to the container running docker, since it’s the same nginx software running.
I read through your first link, and I don't see how I could take it seriously. Here is a link to the original tweet from Wikileaks, as shown on archive.is. https://archive.is/5g8LF

The link you posted to slate relies upon ((( and ))) around people's names being some nefarious anti-jew meaning. When, in reality, this was the actual tweet: "Tribalist symbol for establishment climbers? Most of our critics have 3 (((brackets around their names))) & have black-rim glasses. Bizarre."

Relying upon that sort of cruft just isn't convincing.

Could they have gotten the plant you mention via trade?
Quoting from the article:

Btw, here are a few productivity recommendations:

– Excessive meetings are the blight of big companies and almost always get worse over
time. Please get of all large meetings, unless you’re certain they are providing value to
the whole audience, in which case keep them very short.

– Also get rid of frequent meetings, unless you are dealing with an extremely urgent
matter. Meeting frequency should drop rapidly once the urgent matter is resolved.

– Walk out of a meeting or drop off a call as soon as it is obvious you aren’t adding
value. It is not rude to leave, it is rude to make someone stay and waste their time.

– Don’t use acronyms or nonsense words for objects, software or processes at Tesla.
In general, anything that requires an explanation inhibits communication. We don’t want
people to have to memorize a glossary just to function at Tesla.

– Communication should travel via the shortest path necessary to get the job done,
not through the “chain of command”. Any manager who attempts to enforce chain of command
communication will soon find themselves working elsewhere.

– A major source of issues is poor communication between depts. The way to solve this
is allow free flow of information between all levels. If, in order to get something done
between depts, an individual contributor has to talk to their manager, who talks to a
director, who talks to a VP, who talks to another VP, who talks to a director, who talks
to a manager, who talks to someone doing the actual work, then super dumb things will
happen. It must be ok for people to talk directly and just make the right thing happen.

– In general, always pick common sense as your guide. If following a “company rule”
is obviously ridiculous in a particular situation, such that it would make for a great
Dilbert cartoon, then the rule should change.
And the opposite is true; I can care without understanding.
It’s a shame people like you come to this site.
Where did you find "duplicate and increment"?
My desktop runs a pair of stacked 21:9 displays just fine ;-)

I'm in the camp that finds 16:9 / 16:10 to be the wrong ratio for... everything. Maybe a giant high-DPI display would make it better. For now, having four windows arranged as though they were maximized on a 2x2 grid of 4:3-ish displays perfect suits how I like to work.

The question is not elisp v. vimscript but rather the power of not having to switch contexts. To write code for a locally-hosted RESTful API I used Chrome to read the API docs, Postman to make the calls, iTerm2 to start/restart the server and read the logs, and a text editor to make changes. I replaced that flow with eww, restclient.el (amazing!), multiterm, and an editor buffer. No changing of context, conserve about ~1GB RAM in Chrome instances, full-screen if I want it, and everything is text (I'm looking at you, Postman).

On the "highly custom" level, I have a work-in-progress script that takes a URL, sends it to a Splash server, and returns the rendered HTML to eww for viewing. This is great for annoying SPAs like the article that spawned this conversation.

My current goal is to swap out my development MBP with an eInk tablet and bluetooth keyboard. Success will be measured as a function of productivity and weather-/water-/environment-proofing of the device; the goal is productivity in full sunlight and/or under water. Emacs will have a central role in that. Just need to find an eInk device with adequate screen refresh rate and Bluetooth support....

Not really. First, it already has over 14k ratings, which is pretty substantial and 24k people who have marked it as "owned". E.g. when Twilight Struggle made it to #1 in 2010, it had just 7k ratings.

Second, rating decay from the voting population of a game doesn't seem to be that big an effect on BGG. To use TS as an example again, you'd expect that a two player wargame about the cold war would have huge problems as the more general gaming population started playing it. But as the voter numbers for Twilight Struggle increased from 7k to 30k over the years, the rating has actually gone up (8.18 to 8.20).

That isn't to say that there's no rating decay in place. But I think the source is when a game is perceived as "obsoleted" by newer games.

I was all in on Theravada Buddhism for a while. Until I realized I only believed in a small subset of it - cherry-picking, if you will. Anything that my western sensibilities don’t find appealing, like nagas and devas and stuff I just conveniently filtered away.

Cherry picking gets a bad rap in religion as being arbitrary, but in the Kalama Sutta, which to me is an epistemological treatise, Gotama (or some other guru, who really knows?) says:

> "So, as I said, Kalamas: 'Don't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, "This contemplative is our teacher." When you know for yourselves that, "These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness" — then you should enter & remain in them.' Thus was it said. And in reference to this was it said.

Cherry-picking.
> Nobody is driven insane by LSD - they had to already be insane, and it would bring it out more

I really, really, don't want to write this because I'm a very drug friendly person. I personally don't do drugs except alcohol (I know how horrible it is, but I have anxiety problems) but I am ok with all sorts of drugs as long as there is scientific evidence it improves your life.

Having said that, your quote up there is wrong, I know at least one datapoint. In my freshman semester in Berkeley my roommates tripped with LSD (I was sober and their sitter). Everything went well. However, the second time we did the same thing unfortunately one of my roommates absolutely berzerk and did things I cannot even begin to write here without getting banned. It involved violence, nudity, disgusting human fluids, you name it... Cops were ultimately involved since we couldn't stop him and he was about to harm himself by harming strangers. He ended up fine because he didn't harm anyone, just embarassed himself deeply. In fact, he had no repercussions other than having to live with the fact that he did all that stuff.

Was this person insane in the first place? No, I lived 4 years of my life with this guy and he was one of the smartest, most intelligent people I've ever met. I don't know what it means to be "crazy" maybe he had psychological problems inside his head, but as far as we know he didn't have such problems. He went to a psychologist, but as far as we know, it was a fabrication to be prescribed Ritalin and Adderall. So, overall, it did not seem like he had any psychological problems.

His experience affected me really deeply. I never got to do drugs I wanted (LSD and psilocybin).

I don't want to give the message that "LSD is bad". No LSD is probably an awesome drug. But I really don't think "LSD can't make you crazy if you weren't in the first place". It's probably 1 in a million chance, but not impossible.

Rather than try to figure out some classification criteria, use a predictions market.

Have surgeons predict their own chance of success. Preferably, gather multiple second++ opinions for each case.

The difficulty of the surgery is based on some combination of the different surgeon's predictions.

A surgeon's stats would then be based on his successful and unsuccessful surgeries, weighted against the difficulty.

Using this method, not only can you still rank the surgeons based on the successes of their surgeries, but also on the accuracy of their predictions, which will be in larger sample size and also perhaps a better indicator of their mastery of medical knowledge.
She seems worthy of being added to the byline, but I don't think its right for you to be so dismissive of OP's point.

GP wrote a statement that sounds like "interns should be added to the byline for pulitzer prizes." The way its written sounds like a general statement. In reality, I'm not sure this is a reasonable expectation (as in, the word "should" seems inappropriate.)

We should consider what makes someones work Pullitzer prize worthy. I'd speculate (because I don't know much about journalism) that it really comes down to doing outstanding work, more than is usually expected of any individual, and for succeeding on metrics that are hard to succeed on.

This intern did something valuable, adding things to the database, and probably coming up with the idea for the database herself, but does this meet the criteria of being truly standout, incredible work?

The nature of this particular award that it was given to the entire staff who contributed substantially to the coverage, seems like she is thus worthy, but I don't think treating OP like they're being ridiculous is reasonable. This is a worthwhile question. I think a lot of people on this site are familiar with awards being given to people who don't seem to deserve it, so investigating this topic, for a case that resembles that pattern, doesn't seem so offensive or outrageous as you've kind of termed it.
The Intro Security class I took at UMich we did a month or so all on crypto and the relevant attacks against it.

Never implemented any algorithms but every assignment involved breaking bad implementations of crypto or various applications which was extremely interesting.

Pretty much every lecture slide had a disclaimer "never implement * yourself, Use respected crypto libraries!!!".

A digital subscription is half that, and the salary you're quoting is well below the poverty line which makes me suspicious it's not really an average or it's a cherry picked example.
I think you are OK to cancel at this point without fear of retribution. The tech industry is fairly large. You won't find doors locked to you. In fact, you did so well that your previous employer thought of you for another internship. That's a huge win.

The minimum requirement is that you reneg as early as possible, do so politely and professionally, and finally, don't think about it thereafter. Your career is ahead of you.
I must hang with a different crowd that doesn't add a specific # of parentheses to send dog-whistle messages. You should ask yourself, was the tweet wrong? Did the people who it referenced all have their names surrounded by ((( and )))? That would in fact be bizarre.

> Nobody is driven insane by LSD - they had to already be insane,

This is untrue, and dangerously so.

> Iv met someone who cured acute autism with psilocybin.

This is incoherent. Autism is never acute, it's always chronic. Part of the diagnosis is "has this lasted since childhood?"
The problem is that in many cases, including this, you cannot directly measure the intended thing in any meaningful way. Your example is just another indirection which is still certainly somewhat playable and in addition involves estimation from insufficient input data (also known as guessing ;)).
> because they know the probabilities and the outcomes better.

Probabilities and outcomes, or the process? Patients do get pretty good estimates and information these days. They don't have a good idea what chemo feels like though and what people think about the side effects. Doctors get that from seeing their patients.

I'm reading Michael Bloomberg's autobiography, and he describes working his last day as a partner at Salomon Brothers, a twelve hour day, to end fifteen years of twelve hour days, six day weeks. He was not unhappy in his work.

What I find confusing, is the extension of work into outside hours, on call.

9-5 office workers are supposed to be able to complete only 2 hours undistracted work during their day. This figure comes up time and time again despite the original study of American workplaces was long before we had computers and modern distractions universally.

Is there a acknowledgement of the value of the on tap working capacity, implicitly in this insidious invasion of outside life from work?

Because I have been understanding the constant on call expectations of employers to be in effect a admission of the end of necessity for offices.

As in, "sure I'll make sure to respond to your demands 24/7, now I just won't commute four hours a day costing me £7,000 for the train tickets, to only spend a couple of hours a day doing actual work for you!"

This is quite the indictment of the way we manage our business, is it not?
Let me spell it out for you. It's fine to be unaware of a particular trend, but it's not fine to continue to be unaware and to disbelieve it when you read an article that directly points it out.

* Neo-Nazis invented the "echoes" meme, where when saying the name of a Jewish person in a podcast they would add a sinister echo effect, or in text they would add three parentheses around it.

* Jewish people and others on Twitter reclaimed the parentheses in a positive sense.

* WikiLeaks is referring to the fact that people that complain about them are Jewish, not a random bizarre coincidence about punctuation.
In relation to this article you need to have a bias in order to create friendships, even if it's an accurate and good judgement. That's just what the article says and what I was pointing out.

More generally about reasonable biases, in real life you need to give some credence to the impossibility of knowing the accuracy of your biases. Everyone thinks their judgements are better than the rest, and that leads to historical tragedies. That's why modern thinking has evolved into being about personal freedoms and leaving other people the heck alone instead of trying to impose one's personal judgements.
> The law is no different. There's a core set of things people are aware of. As things become more specific, or a problem happens, we call in domain experts to help.

Using Brainfuck is an extreme example but you're taking it to its logical conclusion - off a cliff.

The difference is, the law affects and is applied to everyone. Contracts can and do affect the average person. However, only a domain expert has do deal in code.

We do not expect or require a normal person to read a 5,000 LOC piece of software, or risk giving up rights to participate in everyday society.

> Expecting everyone to be able to read all of the legal code will never happen, nor should it happen. It's expecting too much out of the average person, and would also require the law be dumbed down in ways that were detrimental to it's interpretation.

I'm certain we can put together a reasonable "tl;dr" requirement for contracts targeted at the layman, e.g.

"""

- You may use this application (See: Section A)

- You will pay X per month (See: Section B)

- Late fees may apply (See: Section B, Sub-Section 2)

- We may collect user data (See: Section C)

- We may sell user data (See: Section D)

- We reserve the right to update the terms of the service (See: Section E, Sub-Section 1)

- We reserve the right to cancel service for any reason (See: Section E, Sub-Section 2)

"""

Make the tl;dr non-binding so long as a reasonable person, a typical legal standard, would understand the legalese to have the outcome.

One need not write a "literate contact," nor abandon all of our legal history, terms of art, etc. to improve things to make them more approachable for a normal user.
