Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Hailing from a village in India and having seen Bill gates and other celebrities as real successful and been amazed about it, I had an entirely different notion of success and talent before reading outliers. But after that I started believing that Success can come from anywhere and whatever we call IQ or Intelligence, that is all something that's another skill and can be honed. It broke the myth of innate talent and success.
The GDPR has been in effect for less than three days, two of which have been weekend. A bit premature to say, "nobody's enforcing this law", isn't it?

The cookie banner is different because everyone knew it was completely meaningless. Whether GDPR is or not remains to be seen; it's certainly not an "everybody knows" situation yet.

The selfish–selfless spectrum is valuable for technical leaders to improve teamwork, in my experience.

We call this social value orientation (SVO) which involves an individual’s natural preference with respect to the allocation of resources.

During technical leadership this comes up with e.g. feature prioritization, competitive/collaborative agile planning, and how to create "nudges" to increase team success.

The way I see it, goals are the actual thing while objectives are diffuse imaginations of something, or the zoomed out perspective. To get a clear picture of something, you have to zoom in from the diffuse one first. You define your goals after zooming in, because then it's clear what's reachable.

A hunter might have the objective to hunt down prey to satisfy his hunger. But at the time he's leaving for hunting he doesn't know what's exactly out there, he will define goals when he has gained a clear picture of the actual environment. That's when he will decide what to hunt and how.

He could decide to abandon his home and become a nomad, following the prey and have it always visible, and satisfy his main objective (hunting to eat) this way. Is this what you mean with module?
I've seen YouTube videos where people try to destroy Canons. In one, they froze it (with water inside the camera), through it down the stairs, and burned it. And the mirror was still functioning. It wasn't taking great pictures, but it WAS taking something. They're tanks.

You need to read up about bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s success in Venezuela is because it is a inflation hedge. It has allowed Venezuelaeans to hold on to their savings and out of reach from the government’s ability to confisticate wealth via inflation.

It is working exactly as Satoshi intended it to.
That metric is so implicitly bigoted it's funny
I made https://histori.city to be a wikipedia + maps mashup. the novel feature was adding a time range control so you can navigate the map in both space and across time.

it's a work in progress, currently has a few tens of thousands of battles and city-foundings throughout history. it would be nice to remove google dependency and use OSM.
"Revolutionary Wealth", by Alvin and Heidi Toffler.
They will both probably be about the same, tbh. People seem to like Qt a bit more, but high-quality bindings really only exist for c++ or python. GTK, on the other hand, has bindings for most langauges. You could also use tcl with tk, java (or clojure or kotlin or scala or...) with javafx or swing, d with dlangui...

Ultimately, what's important is to start making something. Any language, any toolkit, doesn't really matter all that much. If you don't like it, try another language, another toolkit.
A lot of people here are basing their view of gender dynamics (such as women being given 'the upper-hand' and so on, whatever that means) on Tinder and related websites/apps. It may be worth mentioning that the vast majority of people on Earth (or even the developed world) do not, in fact, use any dating apps at all. Most people's flirting activities still take place in meatspace, with all the associated awkwardness. In fact, in many parts of the world there is no concept of 'dating' at all, or at least not in its codified form as happens in the US.

I respect your experience and it may be that women do have much more power than men in the online dating world - that doesn't mean it's not an extremely skewed representation of the actual social dynamics that happens between humans. This is due to the many cultural biases of the people who make these apps and the audience they're targeting, both of which being typically college-educated urban American millenials.

Not everyone's approach to relationships is like that of a college-educated urban American millenial.
"if the suffragettes got justice without firing a shot, why can’t everyone else?"

We should indeed seek to get justice without firing a shot. I take exception to the implication that we should condone violence because there's supposedly no such thing as a bloodless revolution.

Ayrton Senna's Principles of Race Driving

His insight about trying to predict how the car will behave was staggering. Literally, it makes the impossible something that is achievable... terrifying but achievable.
That area of magical thinking just amazes me: look at the Chinese Great Firewall or Erdogan’s Turkey to see how this would actually work. People get arrested for visiting websites or having the wrong app on their phone and there’s no reason to believe that capacity wouldn’t be used the same way.

This especially bad for Bitcoin since unlike cash they’d get your full history and quickly deanonymize everyone you know.
"When decisions are heavily sales-driven--be it the loudest voices in the room are the sales team, or a big deal is coming down the pipeline requiring custom work--individual solutions start overriding problem-based thinking. It leads to a nasty cycle where clients just blindly ask for features and changes, but no one actually sits down to discuss or think about the "why" behind them."

Very true. I have seen this plenty of times. At some point you need someone who keeps the big picture in mind.
Kind of a clickbait headline -- yeah, it was a brush fire, wasn't that part of the original reporting?
I see, so this is the "trolling" theory of social justice. Are you saying Malcolm X and BLM act to bait the system into discrediting itself through violence? One would think if the system were violent enough, it could be be baited into overt violence through nonviolent means alone.
Not only "maybe later", no-buttons like "Instead of subscribing to this free and great newsletter I would like to continue my life uninformed and at a disadvantage for now (but I will definitely have a look later)" in in-page popups with that as the only way to close the modal have recently caught on.

These things make me despise the website instantly and make me wish for a "fuck off"-button.
Structure And Interpretation Of Computer Programs.
The example of colleges seems odd to me, since it’s a common resource at most colleges to get a study carel or private study room at the library, and it’s a place where even in common areas, there is rather strict enforcement of silence, lack of cell phones, and certainly nothing like modern open plan office noise or distraction.

Also, I think it misses the point to talk about whether or not people can make compromises. The question is about how to empower and enable workers to generate their best output.

For example, you could also say something like, “even though people like having two 27-inch monitors, I find they can make compromises and just use one 17-inch model.”

It’s myopic, because the question has nothing to do with whether or not workers can compromise. It’s about whether it’s cost-effective to pay for quality tools (monitors, offices, private workspace).

So when you say something like, “Just that the average worker should be both able to work in non-perfect privacy and simultaneously not to consistently disrupt those who are focused,” it just misses the mark.

The question is, why would a company wrongly think that providing “non-perfect” privacy is somehow good when empirically it’s known to be bad, even for the company’s own bottom line.

Lastly, I think it’s important to totally avoid framing the desire for adequate private space as if the worker wants “perfect” privacy or they are inflexible and uncompromising. This is a false and worker-unfriendly way to look at it.

Having a private office is not “perfect” or overly demanding to request. Rather an office is just a simple, cost-effective tool. Workers who use offices are still good at compromising to have good communication and collaboration, for example with open door policies, scheduled meetings, and all sorts of non-audio collaboration, in addition to getting to use their extra productive time for dedicated focus on things like code review, to directly collaborate in ways that help the whole team.

Open plan offices on the other hand represent zero willingness to compromise on the part of the employer. The employer is saying they will not invest in good tools for you, and instead dogmatically insist there is only one type of communication (real-time, constantly preemptible audio stream) that is permitted, and anything else has to require contortions and inconvenience on the part of the worker (e.g. working from home, using headphones when it is uncomfortable or distracting to do so, etc.)

So really, we have to move past the anti-employee attitude that a private office is some type of primadonna special request from someone who doesn’t compromise. That is what greedy employers would want us to falsely think.

In reality, an office is just a simple, cost-effective tool literallyno different than ergonomic desk chairs, monitors, or the company’s commuter benefits.
Interesting you replied to this and not the parent?
Nicely done! I just watched the whole thing beginning to end, with a bunch of pauses to see connections.

Though I wonder, for my native Hungary in the post-WWII times I think the Presidents are listed, but those are pretty much ceremonial roles, not actually "rulers". The power would probably be with the Prime Minister (and some of them do tend to think of themselves as sort of kings)...

I'd argue that for drug development, clinical trials are part of R&D. After all, their point is to prove that the product works as intended and that it's safe. For any other product that's considered part of R&D.
To kill a mockingbird.

Quite frankly that both introduced me to racism and taught me to strongly condemn it. I also learnt the value of education and the utility of appropriate conduct.
I’m not judging but this reads, to me, like you’re bitter. The majority of men and women may pursue mates based on superficial qualities but there are plenty who do not.

I separated three years ago, divorced recently and met someone a month after deciding to date. I used Bumble. It was easy. She’s beautiful, smart (smarter than me), kind, honest, athletic, hard working, loving and a wonderful mother to her 10 Y.O.

I live well below my means and only after commiting to a relationship did I realize just how poor she thought I was. My advice to you is that any women who would pursue a man for his looks and money isn’t worth your time. If you can’t find what you’re looking for you either need to work on your self or you need to look somewhere else.

Again, I’m not judging but the idea that enforced monogamy is better for society leads me to believe that you’re the problem.

But it's fairly fitting since musical notation is /supposed/ to be instructions for making a machine behave in a certain way. It's an early example of write-once-run-everywhere since the sheet music is relatively unchanged from instrument to instrument.
I'm not sure what your point is with the quote. That part of the comment is about how it can be problematic to misremember history.

And I don't think it is condoning violence to be unsurprised if some people involved in some movement resort to violence.
I think you were unclear - I also thought you were saying that bitcoin was like the successful tech you mentioned.
Yes, less violence is the goal.
Self awareness is not a prerequisite for consciousness..even awareness goes away on strong psychadelics. I think computation and thought are pretty much the same. Every computation requires consciousness to be performed..an observer.
Snake oil has actual medical benefits. It wouldn't have become a widely known fake cure-all ripoff if it hadn't initially been useful as a medicine.
controversial doesn't mean wrong. I've experienced it first-hand and taking steps to manage it has been very helpful. So, maybe what's actually going on will become clarified - maybe it's not ego depletion but some other system interplay; but that something is going on at all should be obvious at this point.
I haven't read the meta-analysis you linked, but based on my prior reading of this topic, I'd suggest it's more correct to say "It probably has not been measured." Whereas it could still exist, but just elude attempts to measure. I also realize you can say this about anything, but ego depletion is one of those topics where it may seem very likely to be true based on our own experience as living humans, but where measuring its effect across a set of humans is incredibly challenging.
If you're upset about US politics, and you are looking to relocate, I would suggest Germany. Having spent 3 months in both Germany and Tokyo, I can tell you German salaries are much more reasonable, the politics are relatively sane, the quality of life is great, they are more likely to speak English in the office, and are very welcoming to tech workers (just apply for a freelance visa to start).

That said, blockchain jobs in Japan are supposed to be abundant and pay more like US wages.
The second world war resulting from the first world war's punitive damages is largely a myth propagated by the Nazi's on their rise to power. In actuallity the second world war was a result of piss-poor monetary and fiscal policy combined with the rise of fascism across Europe.

As someone who has never been religious and has all the traits to be scientific-minded, I will play the devil's advocate and say that Sagan's pale blue dot never struck a chord with me at all. Significance can be compared with size, now? This whole idea contradicts the very nature of being human which is to make up meaning according to the culture and trends of the time. Not to mention that even the tiniest piece of the universe, say, a quark, or a tiny physics formula can have eternal significance within the grand scheme of things. Overall the message of peace among people is well-received, but the tactic is cheesy and not well thought-out.
I went to India after three years last months. I had the impression that everybody in India love Patanjali products. But once I am at home I never saw a single Patanjali product. I was talking to my sister on this, she said the products are not great. She was not they were bad, but more like soap does not smell great. Oil smell worse than the competitors. She even said people make fun of these products. Just a different view point. I went to India after three years last months. I had the impression that everybody in India love Patanjali products.

Maybe look at rural areas. My sister brought her kids up in rural New Zealand. First advantage: kids are taught to be self reliant from a young age. Second advantage: small rural schools mix ages in small classes so kids are more rounded. Third advantage: less access to drugs (which is only going to become worse). Maybe do AirBnB for a month somewhere and see what you'ze think.
I don't think should be a reason to stop creative expression. I never had much interest in reading others' poetry but for about a year and a half I found it to be a tremendous boon to my own self-exploration and personal growth. An outlet is an outlet :)
This is one of those books where if you know only a little about economics after reading it you'll know even less.

Economics in one lesson is heavy on rhetoric and light on substance. The lesson is "look for hidden externalities". Which is by itself totally fair: we should indeed be mindful of externalities.

However when dealing with complex sociological questions there are always negative externalities and the case can always be made that there are additional hidden externalities we don't fully understand yet. And therefore the correct solution to all these sociological problems according to Hazlitt is to do nothing. Because only the externalities of action are considered, not the externalities of inaction. That's the slight of hand applied throughout the book. So the solutions are the same libertarian nonsense we're all familiar with: no government, no taxes, no minimum wages, no unions, no tariffs, etc.

"Economics in one lesson" is by no means a good book, but it's pleasantly written, freely available online, and it can be read in an afternoon. Additionally it makes the reader feel smart because it provides a very simple solution to a multitude of very complex problems. So that explains the appeal. If people want to learn basic economics they should study a reputable college textbook instead.
You forgot the option of the one-way trip. It's not possible for the Moon, but it may be acceptable for Mars.
Within the last 10 hours that you posted this, I went out to buy the book and read it (it's pretty brief).

It's a really great read particularly if you've been in a dip and / or a cul de sac (as Godin refers to projects that dip but won't turn back up). Being able to identify the dip and its characteristics allows one to prepare for it, and to have a strategy for not just enduring it, but for making it as much of an advantage as is possible.

Thanks for posting this, SyneRyder.
My take so far (with limited research) is that Peterson is trying to evoke debate on the issues in a centrist fashion reminiscent of Plato and his cave. The ‘shapes’ of traditional societal structures are being bound to new normals on the ‘wall’ of the human condition; solving this jig-saw of a problem necessitates open debate & negotiation.
Perhaps I should have clarified that I wasn’t accusing the parent of being racist, but I do think it is an incidentally racist phrase we can probably do without.

Maybe just because I am from the south and old enough to remember older relatives using the word spade in an overtly racist way (“Dennis Rodman is as black as a spade,” and such), but I don’t think the etymology is particularly academic.

Anyways, sorry for the off topic tangent.
