An important aspect of identifying new disorders or creating new diagnoses is that it facilitates access to treatment and services for those that need it.

That means that those few people that have serious consequences because of excessive gaming will have the right to get treatment covered by insurance.
> Google and Apple do some tricks based on WiFi to fix GPS in dense urban areas. Raw gps is basically unusable in these areas.

Location Services doesn't just use raw GPS, no, but that's what most drivers (and passengers) are using.

In any case, for several years, I only used the device GPS (instead of the full location services), and I never had any issues like what OP is describing.
I see, excuse my ignorant comment. You are right, i misinterpreted the amount of non-teenager accounts.
I understand this is a practical reaction to what most of us would agree is an egregious use of the tech, but wouldn't it make more sense to stop the problem at its root? I'm talking about surveillance. Why aren't we complaining about camera companies selling surveillance equipment?

The gov't already has the data and Amazon's APIs just make this a little bit easier. But they can go direct to EC2 and get a couple hundred GPU-optimized instances and do it themselves.
Mostly Toronto, plus some Santa Barbara lately.
Since you have to set a pickup pin explicitly, how does GPS matter at all, here?
There is a natural follow-up question: why might other races get rejected at high rates, albeit not for racial reasons (similar to your point)? I think there are questions that many people simply don't want the answers to.
I think this is one of those results that doesn't seem too surprising once you start thinking about it, as the article notes:

> Mindfulness is perhaps akin to a mental nap. Napping, too, is associated with feeling calm, refreshed and less harried. Then again, who wakes up from a nap eager to organize some files?

I imagine the benefits of mindfulness/napping/etc. aren't about motivating employees to work harder or faster on that business memo, but rather that employees are less likely to feel miserable while editing said memo.
Right, i was blinded by my own experience. Excuse me.
> Well, the fact that we were able to abstract it out into an ISA, and still make progress would indicate that it isn't holding us back!

Just because something works doesn't mean it works well. Imagine if x86-64 ditched the variety of non-32/64-bit modes. Would x86 be able to better compete with ARM in power consumption?
That's fair and I don't want to downplay that aspect. But that's not the only thing the DMCA does.
In the same breath you complain that they don't pay their drivers enough and that their service is too expensive.

Drivers aren't going to get more than a few percentage points increase without increasing the price to the end user.
The “Boring Software” manifesto
If you have quit and been re-hired several times, and you don't mention looking for work as a stressor in this post at all - you are highly competent.

It is easier to cut your spending in half than to double your salary, assuming you're capitalizing on your skills already.

You don't have to be homeless, try being monastic. Move out of the city and downsize.
The book "Bad Blood" covers this a bit. From what I gather the only thing they ever managed was a bit miniaturization of several existing standalone products and a way to integrate those products into a single package. When Elizabeth Holmes presented the tech at an AACC conference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6JRG733ReQ&t=3882s) experts in the field were pretty underwhelmed.
Out of everything in the comment, I think this is the point least worth discussing.
As a former mindfulness case study, I'm sad to hear it was not helpful to this study. While the report does cover a number of experiments, the limitation to their research is the use of self-reports. While you can attempt to frame questions in a way to reduce priming, self-reporting is not a good metric because people can begin to respond with what they think you want to hear. Furthermore, the granularity of the timeframes for the experiments seems pretty small. In the case study I was involved in, we were tracked over months/years and showed higher "mindfulness scores" (granted, self-reported, so same limitation). A better approach (though time and cost expensive) would be to perform a longitudinal study on participants and measure their performance overtime. This removes the "answering with what you want to hear" issue while strengthening the study's validity.

As an aside, I like to look towards the Tao of Pooh (or I suppose general Taoism?). The idea is to not let things get you down, but to appreciate the here and now. Mundane activities exist and sometimes you have to do them, but if you can "get over" its mundanity, you can return to enjoying other things.
The only effective way to achieve this is getting a majority of the board to vote for this. Everything else is mere virtue signalling without effect.

People who get a good night's sleep. Naps aren't catch-up.
Everyone these days is being overloaded with an amount of information -

they will never be trained to handle

that no previous generation has ever handled

What we are watching unfold across any and every issue, are symptoms of people breaking down due to that overload.

To handle this new over saturated info environment (which up until now has been sold to everyone as a good thing) one must look to professions that are trained specifically to handle such overload. And there are many.
Starting a restaurant easily can cost $25K in those days. Yet people did it all the time.

Don't overlook that Microsoft was IBM's second choice. Their first was Digital Research.

And lastly, I haven't been able to find any evidence that Gates Sr. funded Microsoft with at $25,000 check. Citation needed! Certainly there's no mention in the book "Hard Drive", and my recollection is that he started MS with $5,000.

There's nothing Bill Gates did at the time that a very, very large number of people could have done, if they'd only thought of it and had been willing to risk it. I knew many computer people at the time, and they dismissed PCs as toys and saw no future in them. Including many who had money to invest in such a startup.

Some of those are absolutely fantastic! The 3rd to last ("spiders") and 2nd to last ("neon") could be reworked into some interesting alien ship control room designs. I used to draw control panels onto play-blocks as an adolescent and tried to give them an aesthetic tilt. Reflecting the style of the times, they looked like R2D2 mated with Max Headroom: "B-b-b-beep, Ch-ch-chirp"
I'm calling it work there because brands/companies do approach me to advertise for them, and I would love to get paid for it. That is work in my opinion. The fact that I don't get paid for it puts it back to a hobby level, and the fact that I do it anyway (but only for brands/companies I really enjoy doing business with) puts it as a passion project. If I buy some really good cheddar from my local artisan cheese shop, I'm going to put it on my Instagram whether they pay me to do it or not, because it's really good cheese and people need to know about it.

We originally started doing it because our city didn't have any good digital media outlets, so we knew there were all these cool events and local businesses all around us but no one was talking about them. So as long as we were already doing the research to figure out what was happening in our city, we figured we might as well share that. We started it with no intention on making money, the thought never crossed our minds until we started getting demands from companies to advertise for them. After that we started asking for payment from anyone who demanded we talk about them, but even though we rarely successfully get paid, we still talk about the events and businesses we want to talk about. We just ignore demands that don't come with perks, invites, discounts, or cash attached.

I guess the motivation is kind of selfish. We live in a place that is commonly understood to be very old and conservative in demographic but we know there are a lot of cool younger people around too. We want to 1) show that our area is cool and we have young and cool people, and 2) attract more young and cool people to the area. It'd be nice to get paid, but there are these other benefits that keep us going too.
Big corporations can also make your life miserable...

And they aren't exactly as accountable as our governments.
I don't know about this argument though. If Amazon bans a book based on their ethics, people freak out about censorship and how one company has so much power and shouldn't be doing that. If their AUP stated what they deemed ethical, how many potential startups or corporations wouldn't be able to start? Take a "simple" example: A business that counsels families on abortion. Is that ethical? Who gets to decide that? I think this is one of those cases where we have to be very careful what we are asking for.
I mean, I know such people, and am even married to one. ICE is not exactly being careful to only ever go after people who are here without authorization.
I imagine a nod at the extremely sexist company culture and the complete absence of a moral compass.

Thousands of years ago - philosophy was more of an operating system.
I'm not sure if I was supposed to laugh at that, but I did.
I was severely addicted to video games when I was a kid. My parents kept saying I was going to be a garbage man (ignoring the insult to garbage men) I don't think it would be the norm, but because of my interest in games I was interested in computers and here I am. I'm not like a top earner 1M / year AI developer or anything, but it definitely didn't impact my life. Now if my parents had taken me to some kind of "gaming disorder" center to get fixed, I would.. probably be a garbage man right now.
I tend to think of "shallow" tourism the same way I think of watching movies. Of course I know it's all an artificial experience, but I'll still turn off my brain and watch cheesy action flicks or snap photos w/ Goofy at Disneyland all the same. If anything, having had the opportunity to live the difference between locals and tourists (I've been both for San Francisco), I adjust my expectations for how much cultural enrichment I'm supposed to be getting out of a trip vs how much braindead goofing off I'm doing. There are times for both.

As for environmental impact, I think there is certainly an unfortunate factor of social perception making people fly half way around the world to Bali and destroy the local ecology in the process because Bali is supposed to be this enviable getaway place. But there's such a thing as a place being overrated, and if you arrive with high expectations, there's surely going to be a disappointment (even if you don't want to admit it). At some point, a beach is a beach. Coronado beach - just a hop away for me - is just as relaxing to me as Frasier island in middle-of-nowhere Australia.

If you're looking for unusual travel experiences with minimal ecological footprint, something that I've found nice (at least for major hubs in north america) is the atlas obscura city guides. Many spots there aren't even on maps (let alone touristic ones), and can't possibly take your whole day, so they're a great excuse to really go off the beaten path.
There's a $10+ billion short position against TSLA, constituting over 25% of outstanding shares. Anyone working at Tesla should be paranoid. Remember Enron? People invested deeply in something do criminally reprehensible things.

Much more importantly, Musk made very concrete allegations, the truth of which should come to light in short order. I remember the insinuation SpaceX made during the 2016 incident, which was much more circumspect. If this allegation proves false I don't think people will be as forgetful about the attempt at blame shifting.
Can you point to some resources that teach Java "the right way"? Without the cultural baggage? I need to learn it for a new job and I'm inundated with resources that I can't determine the quality of.
Being founder / CEO of one industry disruptive company would be fine. Risky proposition under anyone's helm, yes, but Musk is a great salesman so he would stand a better chance than most of probably pulling it off. But no fewer than FOUR (Tesla, SpaceX, Boring Co, SolarCity (technically under Tesla's umbrella but for all intents and purposes its own business)), it starts to strain credulity.
> Drivers aren't going to get more than a few percentage points increase without increasing the price to the end user.

But they should. Perhaps the pay scale is too top heavy. Uber's operational expenses should be trivial (hell, they straight up stole the most expensive bits -- the self-driving car IP). Instead they squeeze the drivers (passing along rate cuts) and riders (surge pricing during shootings, etc) pretty severely.
> pretty much every hobby eats up a lot of time.

Yes, but I wouldn't call idle consumption a hobby. It's like calling masturbation a hobby.

Reminds me of the trope of gamers annoyed that the opposite sex isn't impressed with their "hobby" as if it's some injustice that someone isn't impressed that you can sit in a chair for hours to play games or binge Netflix or enjoy amphetamines.
Early on, Linux supported initrd, which was just a ramdisk with a FS image written to it and mounted. Later, initramfs came along, which is all anyone uses anymore. It is a cpio archive that is extracted onto a special form of tmpfs. One neat trick is that you can append multiple cpio archives, and the kernel will expand them one after another, so you can easily customize your distro-provided initramfs. Only the first one can be compressed, and you have to be careful about it getting overwritten by a kernel update, but it is handy for quick experiments. There is also pivot_root and switch_root, which have man pages if you're interested in the gory details.

For all of initrd/initramfs's history, you've only needed one if your monolithic kernel couldn't mount the root filesystem. So if you needed a module, or had some special config that needed to happen that the kernel couldn't do internally.
> Everything else is mere virtue signalling without effect.

By that definition, isn’t almost every form of non-decisive influence “virtue signaling”? Virtue itself? Marching against a war? Voting for a candidate you like the policies of, but who doesn’t have good media coverage? Declining to purchase unethical goods?
Why do we not fly to space with helicopters?
Then why would spending $500k impact my 9-5 independence? I'm not linking the two. It's more about satisfying short terms needs like getting a house for my family then getting out of debts quickly. I think it's 2 different things. A lot of people here say you should become independent without any extra money. I agree, how about using that extra money to do what I would do by making a lot of money on my own? If I create a business and generate $1 million, I'd certainly buy a house. Again, I want to use this money to make myself focused 100%. Think of it as luxury money in the sense that I wouldn't have to worry about anything but my own project.
Everyone whose speech you don't like in 2018 is "literally" Trump, says the left and its proponents. What's your point, that his paranoia should be treated and he should hand his company over to the government? Either he is too careful in his speech or he is too paranoid - you can't have it both ways.
more context of your own existence held firmly and consistently in mind will reduce motivation for all sorts of intrinsically unrewarding tasks. this is the same reason why some people who take psychedelic drugs reorient their lives away from consumerism etc.

think about it for a second. you're a modestly self-aware animal, living on some tract of land on some planet during a blink of time. your day-to-day context and frame of mind ignores this fact -- it's too broad of a worldview to live in. but once you are in the habit of considering your own thoughts as natural and impersonal phenomena like light scattering on a mountainside, you start to live in that worldview anyway.

you observe the phenomena of your body going to work; you observe the phenomena of your mind while it is at work, and observe its stress. observation usually implies separation between observer and object, however.

in mindfulness, the two are the same. the sobriety of a wider and more naturalistic perspective as provided by mindfulness makes explaining the phenomena of anxiety trivial. anxiety at work is an emotion which drives the worker to generate revenue. task motivation is similar. you don't need to be an expert at mindfulness to detect the relationship between work and anxiety. these observations will not trigger someone to explicitly thoughtfully conclude that being motivated to perform a task at work is not worth the effort. but these observations will silently undermine the sense of urgency that comes with not being able to see very far in front of your nose.

the answer to the question "what's the point of being alive" is not forthcoming with mindfulness. in my experience, it just makes the response much easier: "not this."
Video games are fine for some people, but for nerd-like personalities they present far too great a temptation to supplant real life goal obtainment with virtual status/achievement. I think its helpful to make people aware of this tendency, and unhelpful to wave it away with a comparison to some more widespread non-nerd past-time like watching TV or sports.
The addition of RBAC is so critical to making Airflow truly support a multi-user setup where not everyone with login access can modify and delete things. I'm really excited for this feature in the next version of Airflow.

I disagree with the claim that philosophy could be shuttered/migrated to the math department without something being lost.
Part of why it is useful to have different academic departments/fields is that those fields teach a different set of tools and approaches to a problem, even if they look at overlapping problems.
The way of thinking about logic taught in philosophy departments is quite different from that taught in math departments, at least in my own experience.

In philosophy, Tarski (a logician) feels adjacent to Montague (a logician who studied semantics), and Montague feels adjacent to Austin (a philosopher who studied semantics). If we were to shutter philosophy, the math department would lay claim to Tarski, the linguistics department to Montague and Austin. I think its useful to have them in conversation with each other.

But ultimately I think its very hard to argue that philosophy has got enough new work being done; my metric is whether or not a discipline's "2017 in <discipline>" page on Wikipedia has a greater number of accomplishments than deaths, and philosophy's is not looking so good in that regard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_in_philosophy
Can't find the actual letter. Anyone have a link?
Checking China's pollution by satellite
" A central technique of mindfulness meditation, after all, is to accept things as they are. "

That is a debatable point. From a Buddhist perspective, the goal is not so much to _accept_ things as they are, but to _perceive_ things as they are, which means letting go of your accretions of illusions attached to things. The fundamental mechanism of capitalism is to foster a sense of eternal dissatisfaction with your material state, but Buddhist thinking is directed toward relieving yourself of this, and encouraging the realization that more attachments means more discontent.

Hampton Mall: APES**T – THE CARTERS
well, as a weekend uber driver that drives only when prices go up I have to tell you that those 7-8 dollar trips pay us only 3 dollars and some change. Driving 7-10 minutes to pick you up and then drive for 7-10 minutes to your destination is not worth it because that comes to $10 per hour minus gas and maintenance and depreciation. Drivers have to pay for lease/finance, maintenance, insurance and still pay rent on the apt and put food on the table.
Expect the quality of service to go down, not up, if you you think $15 is too much for a trip to the mall.
WE GET IT, you're so smart and great because you don't like video games. We're really impressed over here.

that's pretty short sighted cheesy hollywood movie reply.
you can just get from this dismissing statement how much they care about their employees. a better reply would've been "we'll launch a review to see how it got to this point / what made this person behave this way".

The VMU was novel and criminally underused. I think part of the problem was the novelty. No one knew what to do with it.

Check out 19th century negative campaigns. Modern politicians look like kittens. Pamphlets were published comparing Lincoln to an ape.

Candidates like Clinton falter because they suck. Kicking off your campaign Roosevelt Island and driving to Pennsylvania or wherever in a hotel shuttle van was the kickoff to a weak campaign.
So you are of the mindset that technical analysis has no place in forming trades?

How would you suggest entering short term trade scenarios then?

I sound snarky, but I'm genuinely curious what you suggest instead.
I do agree with the conclusion of the article to some point. I think it (mindfulness as the result of the meditation) must really depend on each person and each character.

Anecdotally, in my case, mindfulness as a result of meditation and similar mind-calming practices (like jogging, stretching) helped me to advance my career from a dev to a team lead and eventually helped me to get a courage to pursue my dreams of being an entrepreneur.

I can conclude that in my case, it did not decrease my motivation but helped me to:

1. overcome my anxiety and become a better employee

2. see what I truly want and get rid of the mental stuff the others (meaning the corporation) imposed on me (following the said corporation's goals)
