Might be a little off topic, but I’d really appreciate it if someone could explain why highly educated people describe themselves as Marxists.

I’m quite left-leaning in my views, and I agree with many of the criticisms levelled at capitalism, but I don’t see why people support Marxism.

Two main arguments:

1. Hasn’t Marxism had its chance? Yes, it wasn’t “real Marxism” in a sense, but why would you think it’d turn out different if tried again? We have to consider the reality of the world we live in.

2. How many precedents are there for a complete upheaval of the economic system on that scale that have worked? I’m aware of some of the history, but I can’t think of a change that large which worked.

How do modern Marxists answer those concerns? From the outside it looks like they’re ignoring history or the reality of human behaviour.

Well one limitation of Google File Stream is you can only use it with a work or school account not a personal account.
Your company is located in USA and I guess you cater mostly to USA based customers.

I start to suspect that this is partially a cultural thing.

In Poland, my home country, we pay mostly with PayU and DotPay, or direct bank transfer. Many companies even offer templates that one can print and use to pay from a post office :). I have been even using it from time to time as a kid before I had my own bank account. In Belgium almost all payments can be done with Bankcontact. I think some people even consider card payments one with Bankcontact, because I quite often would be asked if I want to pay "with Bankcontact" instead of "with a card". In Netherlands most payments go trough iDeal. Sometimes I also see Sofort, PayPal or PaySafe. PaySafe is a prepaid code for X money that you can buy in a shop :) .

https://www.payu.pl/en
http://www.dotpay.pl/

https://www.ideal.nl/en/

All of them are some kind of third-party that seems to allow companies to verify immediately that a payment has been done.

In case of Patreon there seems to be a demand for non credit card payments and they even acknowledge that. So, it indeed may boil down to some decision to not invest in that :/ .

$300 seems very reasonable for a software defined radio. Could be fun to tinker with.
I used modern mechanical keyboards with a variety of switches for a while. Recently I got a Model M (a few months younger than me) and I like it a lot more.

As far as the feeling, it could be that the plastic rivets holding your Model M's internal "sandwich" together have failed. If you do a bolt or screw mod to put the pressure back on the parts that failed you'll have a much more consistent feel.
Most comments discuss the usefulness of the PTO but it seems like a major section of it is that one:

>> PATENTABILITY OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES AND SOFTWARE INVENTIONS.

>> ...

>> this amendment effectively abrogates Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International, 134 S. Ct. 2347
(2014) and its predecessors to ensure that life sciences discoveries, computer software, and similar inventions and discoveries are patentable, and that those patents are enforceable.

Both views are right, and more. Wealth is created by a large number of workers under leadership by a smaller number of inventors and managers but neither is able to do anything without demand. Demand requires a strong middle class.

Aligning those three groups through a set of compromises is the American System, or at least the postwar one that created the greatest explosion of wealth in human history.

Look up wages vs productivity. We have an almost exact date for the collapse of that system: 1971-1974.

What happened? I don't know. There are many candidates: the Nixon Shock (end of Bretton Woods), the opening of outsourcing as a way to break labor (and thus the middle class) allowing the upper classes to economically "defect," the rise of automation, or something else.
It also does not support Linux afaik!

> AT&T and Walmart all very centralized. It doesn't seem to hurt their performance. They don't compete on price - they define markets and platforms, and dictate terms. They're able to change rapidly compared to monopolies of the past

I don't disagree that AT&Ts monopoly control over the local loop in California, the Midwest and the South, or its oligopolistic control of cell signals have hurt their performance. It has hurt consumers, it has hurt US productivity. One just need to look at some of the other industrialized countries to see how their network access and cell signals can function unfettered by such monopolies.

A decade after the taxpayer TARP bailout of the major "too big to fail" banks, it's stunning to see someone claim that corporate America has finally itself licked centralization and monopoly.

There is some merit here.

Aside from sports which you mentioned, psychedelics and amphetamines especially are used by creatives. Writers, illustrators, directors, musicians and so on. Someone who would be "clean" would be at an ungodly disadvantage.

Although with altruism and psychedelics specifically, I would have to disagree strongly, as they actually tend to almost bestow empathy upon people who use them, that is to say that, the effect of increase in empathy is so strong that it seems as if people around and including the person who's had the experience are devoid of it by comparison. This increase in sensitivity if anything would in turn lend itself to altruism.
Up north, I expect the roads to be more similar to the ones in Denmark that I'm used to, ie. potholed, frost damaged and sort-of repaired.

Honestly, you have no idea how good you have it road-wise, compared to Denmark or the UK or especially the US.

Down here in the Schwarzwald/Schwaben area, they really are in amazing condition and the majority of roads are still 100kph or at least 80kph in the trickier sections. Sure, there are a few villages with blanket 30kph limits (WTF) and the occasional 70kph sections around tricky intersections. But other than that, it's very good still, and 100kph on some surprisingly curving roads. Mostly unlimited autobahn too, although I know they're reigning that in as well.
iTunes changed the music business into what it is today.

The heyday of albums, bands, 20 dollar cds is over. But music has become less special less mainstream and people are less likely to identify themselves by subgroups formed around a music type. Young people are not on mass claiming to be Punks, goths, hippies, metal fans, disco heads, something new etc. Which has slowed down the evolution of music.
Some thoughts on work productivity
This is neat! Can I use this for multiple accounts? I've been looking for a MacOS and Linux solution for this exact problem but I'd like to use it for 3-4 Google accounts.

I used to be a professor of American Literature. I literally owned thousands of books in the margins of which I wrote copious notes for research and teaching.

When I left academia to move cross country, I had a yard sale and at the end of the day a few hundred books were left over.

A young man who had come by earlier still had some interest in the books and so I bequeathed them to him.

Then I moved cross country.

Over five years later, I received a FB message from someone who asked if I had ever taught English in Ohio, and I confirmed that I had.

He replied he wanted to thank me because he was the recipient of those books. He was a Ph.D. student in Math and he read many of the books he got from me and said he learned so much about literature and writing that he never would have as a result of the notes in my margin.

I was humbled that he found my scrawlings worth reading and even more humbled he was able to learn something from them. I honestly think his intelligence was the real key driving his learning, but I am beyond grateful that whatever notes I left in the margins of those books provided enough information to encourage a self-motivated learner to think deeply about the works he was reading.

So while some may find annotations distracting and annoying, there are some that can find those same annotations to be pointers to a fuller understanding of the material so annotated.

EDIT: Change "and" to "to be" in last sentence.

I’ve recently fallen down the deep dark rathole that is mechanical keyboards and I heartily encourage others to do the same :)

For those of us that spend a majority of our working (and leisure?) time typing, it only makes sense (ha!) to customize and optimize the tool you use to accomplish that.

This is apparently a love/hate thing for some, but I really like the feel (and sound — THOCK) of Topre keyboards. They use electrostatic capacitive switches and are super satisfying.

Also it’s kinda fun to build crazy customized stuff :)

You're conflating Marxism with soviet-style socialism. Marxism in academia typically refers to an analysis framework where social dynamics are understood as a conflict between members of different social classes.
I’m going to chime in to this very rote and dreary conversation only long enough to point out that, even in the unlikely event that “objective morality” is anything more coherent than “nuance makes me uncomfortable,” the existence or absence of “God” does not impinge on its existence. This is one of the more damning things about that whole “conversation”; the psychological need for a moral order is so great that the justification used for it is an utterly unquestioned, utterly absurd non sequitur.

I’ve just said the most interesting thing I’ve ever heard on the topic, and I’m still bored with it.

Wouldn't the result be actually opposite from anticipated? It's exactly writing about the stuff by yourself a way for remembering it. It won't stick if you just automate the process. Or rather it will, for long enough to deceive you into thinking you know it, but you'd probably forget it after a while anyway. Writing anything by yourself, or ideally handwriting, makes it stick. At least it works for me. I spoke with some friends of mine and this system seems to work for them, either.

I am no neurologist, but what you're describing sounds more like Prisoner's cinema[1] or some sort of entoptic phenomenon[2] rather than HPPD.

HPPD happens with the eyes open, in the light, and is usually more pronounced than something like a floater[3] (which can also be seen in the lights, with the eyes open).

How the startup mentality failed kids in San Francisco
Portugal is constrained by international conventions on drug policy (largely pushed by the United States). Legalizing the production or distribution of drugs would engender serious adverse consequences, so they've tiptoed as far up to the line as they can without breaking the rules that bind them. While their policy relieves harm associated with addiction, it can't undermine the incentives for the criminal drug trade because absurd conventions prohibit them from doing so.
Ah, so they are simply saying that they think the Marxist viewpoint represents a good understanding of the world, rather than agreeing with communism as the best system? Is that correct? Thanks.
Open offices are incredibly annoying and inconsiderate to those trying to do real work on proper keyboards (and trackballs).
I think it's ok. When they would instantly understand Nietzsche, it's very likely they already had major depressive episodes in their lives.

Otherwise it's difficult to question everything you thought you knew about anything. Normally it's not a pleasant experience. That is the reason that so-called enlightenment happens only to those who had big inner struggles after many years of reflection.

In a Freudian way their unconscious side protects them from threats attacking their mental health. Knowing what's right and wrong is necessary to do anything with reason. If you accept the fact that there is no right and wrong, you can definitely lose some motivation which is detrimental to the incentive system that our consciousness gets trained with.

It's therefore rational for most people to reject those ideas (although they don't necessarily can reflect on this level). I wouldn't call it "intellectually handicapped", I would say their mental processes protect them very well from thoughts that could lead to a loss of their values and belief system.
Otherwise it sounds so negative although it's a rational thing to do for the consciousness. Normally your incentive system is not "I want to know the whole damn truth", it's "I want a happy and fulfilled life, want to feel good about myself and achieve something". Cognitive biases help us to achieve those goals. It just seems irrational from external point of views because of missing profundity in the analysis of the psyche of the other person. They're perfectly logical w.r.t. the incentive system.
Fwiw, I’ve done mdma a hundred times and lsd and mushrooms a few dozen times, haven’t don’t either in over a decade, and don’t drink, and I’m a perfectly well adjusted software engineer with a wife and two kids and a house in the suburbs. And I attribute the fact that I am a well adjusted person today to having done psychedelics in my 20s, because I was an absolute disaster as a human being coming out of high school with a lot of childhood trauma that I needed help dealing with.
Calling this "bipartisan" because they got Kaptur on board is in that "extreme technicality makes this correct" correct category.

> The big difference is that there is immense societal pressure to consume alcohol all the time (and this pressure occurs everywhere

Yes, that's the point. I want drugs to be legalised because I recognise the harm that is caused by keeping them illegal. But our society's complete failure to promote the public health message around alcohol[1] means that I'm reluctant to push the legalise message.

”it is better to let those within that community know there is a way out and offer help to those who want to get out.”

So, how are you going to let newborns with a disability know there is a way out before their society kills them?

If you think letting the parents know is sufficient, you’re at odds with much of modern thinking, which says it can be necessary to take children out of the care of their parents.

Also, suppose the would-be victim suspects what’s coming and wants to get out, but doesn’t manage to escape, would you punish the killers? If so, you’re interfering with another nation’s sovereignty.

As always when fundamental rights collide, there is no easy answer to this.

The keyboard is the main reason i stick with my X220i, even though it's getting a bit long in the tooth and somewhat challenged in the CPU department. I certainly don't get anywhere near the rated uptime out of a battery, since it's working the CPU a lot harder now than with 2011-era software.

Still, the build quality and keyboard are absolutely second to none. Hardware- and build quality-wise the best laptop ever made. It's 7 years old, and the hinge is still as tight and smooth as a new one.

I wish I had gotten one of the full-size desktop Thinkpad-style USB keyboards, back when they still made them.
