Isn't the null hypothesis that there is nothing specific to attribute the rain?

The person I responded to said that attributing this anomalous weather event to climate change was no different than claims that a cool summer disprove climate change. My claim is that attribution of anomalous weather events to climate change have a higher probability of being true than claims that a cool summer disproves climate change.

Neither claim is provable but one is more likely to be true than the other. The claims are different in terms of probability of being true.

Being able to dress down comfortably is one of the benefits of remote work. I work 90% on slack and not knowing what facial expression someone is making has never hindered dealing with a crunch - my teammates are on point and engaged as it is.

For me the dead air in a crunch time call, the need to split my attention, etc. would just increase the stress.

IN "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," Walter Benjamin argues that it is because we have built up an aura around art. It is the same thing as valuing antiques simply because they are old and not because they are better or beautiful. It is the same reason why people line up to see the Mona Lisa even though we have all seen pictures of it a million times. Or why people go visit some where George Washington slept.

As someone who has to share the Internet with your device: good.

If your device is offline and doesn’t have a persistent connection to the Internet, I would understand. But for an iPad or iPhone who spend virtually all of their useful life more or less permanently connected to the Internet? Update. It would be better if there were an option to remain on the current version but with access to anything not on a private network disabled after some period of time (say 6 months).

This article is pretty weak. It’s just a haphazard jumble of “drug gangs extort money from avocado farmers” and “agriculture has potentially harmful impacts on the environment” with no attempt to quantify, dig deeper, or present evidence about any of its claims.

I think the problem here is that this is a Gmail-specific, non-standard feature, meaning there is no specification that allows to implement this in a reliable, cross-client way.

I wouldn't argue that all drugs should be legal, but I also don't think it should be a criminal matter. The idea that you can end up with life in prison for having drugs on you is just bonkers.

It probably shouldn't be treated as a civil matter either, it should be treated as a medical matter. Something like first offense - 1 night in rehab. Second offense, 1 week in rehab. After that every offense is one month in rehab.

There is of course something of a "lesser of two evils" issue here though. The status quo where you can get life in prison for a small amount of drugs is probably worse for society than total legalization.

> 3. It seems like whether drugs are legal or not, if you get addicted to some types of drugs you become effectively unable to earn an income.

I do think this is probably overblown. People who can't earn an income are more likely to be homeless, and therefore are more likely to be visible. The number of functional addicts is almost certainly understated because they hide it well.

John Gruber recently blogged about Frontier:

> If you never used Frontier, it’s hard to explain what made it so special. My very favorite thing about Frontier is the “object database”. It wasn’t like using a database in the SQL sense. It was just persistent storage. You didn’t have to deal with the file system at all. You just wrote to, say, scratchpad.foo or examples.bar or any other unique identifier and whatever you wrote would be there when you went to read it. And, even better, there was a visual interface for exploring everything in the object database. You could see it and explore it, because in addition to being a language, Frontier was also a real Mac app. You could even customize the app’s menu items just by editing the system.misc.menubar table in the object database. It’s a wonderfully self-contained design. Re-reading the documentation makes me wonder why there’s nothing like Frontier’s object database in other scripting languages.

A total human sleep cycle is about 90 to 110 minutes. Most important is that you'll feel most groggy if you wake up during the deep sleep parts of a cycle.

I've found trying to set my alarm in about 90 minute increments (from when I think I'll fall asleep) helps a lot. For me, that means basically either 6 or 7.5 hours of sleep on weekdays.

I also agree on the alarm. I use my phone, and have it set to gradually increase volume with a gentle noise - I change it occasionally, but typically choose something like birds chirping or piano music.. so long as it doesn't have abrupt loud sounds.

These two things have helped me significantly with feeling decent when I first wake up. I'm still not a "morning person" but I'm at my, let's say, "average" level of productive by the time I'm at work in the morning.

agree but also, ClojureScript didn’t have runtime eval for a long time (because the compiler is bootstrapped on jvm) and that didn’t stop anyone.

I suspect that personal debt and national debt are of different species. There's also an old saying: "If you owe the bank a dollar, you're a debtor. If you owe the bank a million dollars, you're a partner."

For an economic prediction to be meaningful, it needs an approximate date attached to it.
I think you can make an analogy to actual magic, in that a lot of magic tricks only work because the audience doesn't know the extent to which the magician will go to fool them. They'll use stooges, lie to you, glue magnets to playing cards, eavesdrop on the audience for mentalism tricks, etc.

Similarly, the NSA can accomplish what would seem like magic by doing brute force stuff like tapping an undeground cable with a submarine or getting you to hire moles into your organization, or just plain breaking and entering. 10 billion dollars may not buy you a lot of computers but it buys you more man hours than their targets can ever hope to expend on protecting themselves.
I’m not sure the idiosyncratic tenets of Christianity or Judaism can serve as the foundation of sound economic (or other) policy. I need something more compelling than “a myth invented more than two thousand years ago says it’s a bad idea” to make me believe that there is something wrong with T-bills. For that matter, this seems like not such a great argument, because substantially all other countries also have their own analogue of treasury bonds, and few of them have inequality as bad as we do in the US.
It appears that you want to make a very simple statement: "Abstractions tend to introduce overhead. If any software layers, an OS, or a network are added on top of a block device, I/O overhead will be introduced somewhere." As a conversational seed, I would wager most people would agree with that statement, in general.

One issue in this thread is that abstractions are concepts, not cpu instructions. In order to discuss overhead, one needs to reify the abstraction. For example, if you care about latency overhead, the block scheduler will definitely introduce overhead. But if you care about throughput, you probably /want/ abstractions like queues and schedulers.

> "What I also said is that emulating low-level layers on a higher-level interface (like a block device on top of a database or object store) will never match the original block device. What is untrue about this?"

Nothing is untrue about the sentiment of your statement. But from a practical standpoint, storage devices are useless pieces of junk without software. So to say abstractions slow down storage device while ignoring their utility feels arbitrary: why not talk about the length of the SATA cable, or the firmware in the disk controller?
If the answer is that you just wanted to make the simple statement like the one I quoted at the start of this post then that's great, I think we are all in agreement. Otherwise, it's not clear what your point is and many of the supporting examples that you list are stated as fact, but are in reality either generally untrue, or very nuanced points, both of which tend to attract strong opinions :)
A better way to look at it is, in a million different places, the odds were a million to one. We happen to be observing from the one of those place where it did happen.

Gmail is the only one that displays it as an email. All other clients and servers will just see it as a link. That's how they handle the self-destruction.
http://sci-hub.tw working here (Safari, MacOS) Sunday 8am in CA.
You're only seeing it from one perspective: from the perspective of a single non-power user - yes, Gmail made the difference.

But in terms of proper e-mail usage: be it through MS Exchange, University campuses, corporate servers - they made no difference. Everyone already had enough space there anyway, and spam filters <mostly> worked - as they had enough email volume to detect attack. And they still use these systems.
>>So do I to a certain degree, but you must first understand that the corporations comprise of people like you and me and not some evil mind CEO who eats all the profits.

While it is true the corporations are "made up of people" the very nature of a corporation separates liability from those people, thus when you remove said liability people generally tend to behave worse than they would when they are personally liable.

Then there are the group dynamics where many many people working together can justify, rationalize, and excuse all manner of actions that when done as a individual, they would individually find abhorrent but when done as a group they do not.

This is why at best a corporation can only be described as amoral (at best)

The fact that corporations are "made of people" has no relevance to my comments

>As much as you'd like, the judicial system doesn't work on ethics as judged by you. I hope you understand the functionality of the judicial system before making such broad statements about it.

The legal system of a society should be judged by the ethics of the members making up that society, people like you that believe the law is the law and we just have to accept that are part of the problem in society today

I see this law as being unethical as such I am advocating against this law.

You believe the law is the law and should remain unchanged as if it was the word of a god.

>You're making presumptuous statements here (and I know because A - your statement is false, $25 is only necessary if the device does not have a recovery disk already; B - your statement is in no way related to my quoted response of approaching Microsoft if they'd be interested in partnering in a recycling program).

Yes it is as that is their "partnership program" for Recyclers,

I do not believe MS should be allowed to charge $25 simply because the owner of the device did not keep or make a recovery disc upon purchase. I believe (and the law supports) that the physical disk is irreverent, it is the LICENSE that they sell not the Physical media.

Of course MS, and most other tech companies, want to have it both ways, picking a choosing which sections of law they want to apply based on the circumstances. Sometimes treating it has a Sold Good where the physical product matters, but then other times saying it is a licensed product and the physical media has no value

>How about you try counterfeiting US Dollars which are also created out of thin air?

I dont think you want to know my thoughts on Fiat Currency. (hint I am not a fan)

>Software is the currency of the tech companies that develop it and they like to protect is just like our Govt

I have already stated I find our government (aka the law) to be largely unethical and immoral. So you defense is to point out how the Tech Companies are acting like our government... i.e Unethically and Immorally

>If you don't like a company you have the choice of not using their products but don't go around saying they're a bunch of evil morons for protecting their interest.

I do not define virtue as " protecting their interest." it is possible to be a Evil Moron and be " protecting their interest." at the same time.

Some of the advice amounts to "just do it" or "insert inconvenient forcing function" like spending a week backpacking, which would be difficult if your sleep schedule is affecting your energy and mood.

I've tried forcing myself, but it tends to be fragile. Go to sleep late just 1 night, have trouble forcing yourself to sleep the next day, sleep schedule gets worse again, get frustrated, give up.

What I've been having success with is a full spectrum LED light, which I use for an hour in the morning, and a blue light filtering goggles, which I wear from sunset. I can literally feel the goggles working as my eyes grow heavier a few hours from sunset, resulting in my falling asleep around 11-12 and waking up around 6-7.

Admittedly I've only done this for the past 3 weeks after reading about the full spectrum LED light from https://blog.samaltman.com/productivity. But it doesn't get easier than turn on light, put on goggles.

Yes, for some reason Inbox expands some attachments inline for me, and pre-renders some links (with a picture from the page a short summary). It doesn't seem to do it systematically, and it could be something that can be turned off in options (it didn't seem to be when I first checked). It seems to pick the most useless items for expansion (recurring bills! 150px vertically for this month's G drive bill!).

A quick an dirty screenshot-on-my-current-machine shows inbox compact emails at 60px vertical, vs 50 for the new gmail. All of the difference seems to be whitespace, the fonts are more or less identical. There's extra waste for "Today" and "This month", and with a couple of expanded pictures, I can't even fit 10 emails vertically on my screen (MB 12"). Gmail shows 20 emails in the same space just fine.

It's quite possible that if you have just the right volume of email, the Inbox format is perfect. It's also possible that most people don't mind scrolling. Me though, I like to see as much as I possibly can at a glance.
You don’t have to wonder. The data is out there.

While there are “more millionaires” than before, that’s a bogus metric due to inflation. You have to look at concentration of wealth as a percentage and a ratio between. Wealthy and poor and “middle class”.

If you do that it’s obvious what the issue is; wages have stayed very flat for the poor and middle class and almost all wealth gain has been concentrated in the top very few percent. Because most wealth gain is happening in finance and investing, and like I said wages have stayed flat for many decades.
On the other hand, exceptions such as this have proven very important to the American economy over the past half century or so, especially within the last twenty years. When your exceptions are numerous enough, or large enough, they sort of start to form their own rule.

Control your light exposure. Open the blinds during the day, invite in the daylight or get outside as soon as the sun is up. At night, ruthlessly purge lights inside your house. Shut off devices, tape over blinky lights. Cut way back on your screen time after the sun has gone down. (screen time during the day is kosher) Use only dim "mood" lighting around the house at night, except maybe if you're reading or cooking.

The rest will basically take care of itself.

From my perspective, it always felt like Nintendo had the right focus. They don't really play the specs game in the console wars. They will never wow you with their polygon count. I've always felt like you get more of a focus on just-plain-fun game mechanics with Nintendo, and for me, that makes the most fun games. Obviously, every game on the planet wants fun game mechanics, but, say, a typical AAA game uses an Operation Desert Storm shock-and-awe strategy. I don't want shock and awe when playing games, just fun.

Different people like different things, though.
