There's more than one kind of solitude, for me at least.

There's the kind when I'm absorbed in a book. Far from feeling alone, I feel get caught up in the story and sort of feel like a participant in an imaginary world. It doesn't feel like solitude at all.

Then there's the kind when I'm "in the zone" working on something. I loose track of time, people, and surroundings and when I finally figure it out I feel really good.

The rest of the time I'm just alone and lonely, and that's a bad thing.
> how many research papers did your parents read when bringing you up?

They listened to their doctors. Modern life is too complex for everyone to understand everything fully. So we delegate decisions to reliable authorities.

If one wishes to disagree with said authorities, i.e. with the status quo, the burden of proof is on the person bringing the disagreement. The problem with anti-vaxers and climate deniers is their rejection of the status quo without any proper evidence. (Also making decisions that negatively impact other people.)
But a normal web search already has this trait, which is presumably how you ended up on the garbage site in the first place. If you eventually found your result, a more narrow search can help you re-find it a few months down the road.
Why do you think that perspective does not apply to americans? I don't eat at proper restaurants much but when I ate fast food,the busiest ones also had more people flocking to them(chick-fil-a for example). Not many people line up to eat at a no-name off brand chain that just opened,and I see those pop up and go out of business a lot.

It's not a cultural thing but how one is brought up. Upper class or rural chinese might have a different approach just as americans from different walks of life and from different states might view it differently.

Same goes for investing, those who plan for long term gains have a different perspective than those who want 'buy low. Sell high.' For short term profits.

#1 for me all time is this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5288312/

What, a teen drama? Yeah, hear me out. It's a teen drama that avoids every single thing that make teen dramas crap. Single writer and director, storylines and characters are based on research of current issues, dialogue is accurate and not out-of-date, an extensive casting process found a bunch of fantastic age-appropriate actors, and the editing, the soundtrack, and the cinematography is off-the-charts good. If you liked the UK series Skins, you will love this.

The reason for the variable-length episodes is that the show aired in "real-time", so you would get clips throughout the week that are released on the website at the exact time the clip is supposed to be happening. So if it's a scene at the lockers on Monday morning at 11:03, the clip is viewable that Monday morning at 11:03, if it's a Friday night party, the clip becomes viewable that Friday evening, etc. Every week is then rolled up into that week's episode, so you can watch it like that as well. And this structure then automatically makes it so that some weeks have more drama than others, so that week's episode is therefore longer.

The show is currently the darling of the TV world with four remakes already started, two more remakes are filming, and a bunch more in the works. Because the show was an enormous success in Norway, and they managed to rope in teenagers, which is the exact demographic that the networks are bleeding like crazy.

1. Because its gaining traction, its not something that is becoming less of an issue over time, and people in power are promoting it for their own vile ends.

2. No, treating people poorly who continually spread misinformation and lies does not make you bad or worse than them, this is a silly misrepresentation that would almost arise to this question fitting classic sealioning.

3. There is no expectation to win over hearts and minds, and this isnt a debate - its simply evidence being denied out of hand because it doesn't fit the person's narrative. It should be dealt with just as much scorn as a flat earther.

There's no good points when someone isn't willing to bring table stakes of "willing to acknowledge evidence"
Thanks, I can count :) Of course 0.001 is closer to 0 than 0.003, but my point is that linear distance is not a very good way of comparing probabilities-as-degrees-of-certainties: rather than differences of probabilities one should consider the ratios of odds ratios (or differences of log-odds-ratios) because these better represent how we update our certainty in the light of evidence.

Frequentist probabilities can have error bars (if I repeat some experiment N times and observe no successes, I estimate the probability as "0 with error bars"), but I'm not sure that Bayesian probabilities-as-degrees-of-certainty naturally have error bars. If you're uncertain of your certainty, isn't that the same as just being less certain? As I say, I'm not sure of the mathematics here.

So is an argument from personal ignorance.
> Particles may be moving fast (high temperature), but if there are very few of them, they won’t transfer much energy (low heat). Since space is mostly empty, there are very few particles that can transfer energy to the spacecraft.

That explains why energy is not transferred by conduction or convection to the spacecraft. But what about energy (heat) transfer by radiation? Why won't the spacecraft get all the energy from radiation and have its temperature shoot up?

> I actually like some of Trump's work in terms of negotiating better trade deals for the US

Has he actually successfully negotiated anything other than "the EU might buy a small number of soybeans from us"? I'm asking because there's a lot of rhetoric from him and his friends that he is successful negotiating trade agreements, but I'm stuggling to find any that are meaningful.
Clipboard contents is a very sensitive data stream. People copy and paste all sorts of passwords, credit card data, command lines, confidential text etc. I once found the domain password of a coworker in the clipboard, simply because we were sharing a VNC session; so when I pasted the text data I immediately recognized it as a password. If this can happen accidentally, I think logging this data stream on the long run is equivalent to full compromise and can spread malware or worse in the internal network.

An easy active attack I could envision is to listen on the remote clipboard for something that looks like a long Unix or Windows command line, which the remote user lifted from a tutorial or some such. Malware would immediately trigger a sync event to modify the remote clipboard and insert a loader for itself, obfuscated somewhere within that command line. So from the time you copy to the time you paste and press enter, the machine is rooted, unless you carefully review that command line before execution.
Yes please, seconded!

I don't disagree with the conclusion that but there more stuff hidden into 'cheap stocks' than is explained in the paper.

Berkshire receives substantial advantage from the structure it's business and I'm sure it's not an accident.

Bershire is basically insurance and re-insurance operation that uses its steady income and substantial float to finance investing business. It shortcuts banks and external financing and the markup they take.

Compare BRK.A to SP500TR (SP 500 Total return is good comparison because BRK is not giving dividends). BRK matches SP500 when everybody has access to the cheap money. But when downturn or market crash hits and the money is tight BRK starts to shine.

TL;DR: buying cheap stocks is easier when you have constant access to cheap money during those times when others don't.

How can you say that with such certainty? Do you have an example of a similar construct where you've experienced beginners being confused by it, or are you just dismissing my opinion based on your opinion?
The irony is that the phrase "climate change" was actually pushed initially by a Republican advisor (Frank Luntz) as it was considered less frightening to the public than "global warming".

Academic publications were using the phrase "climate change" to discuss the warming effects well before Frank Luntz. He may have been important to putting that phrase in front of the general public, but "climate change" isn't a euphemism invented by PR hacks. The foremost summary assessments are assembled by the IPCC -- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, whose first report came out in 1990.

Here are publications from 1980 and 1970 also using the phrase to discuss warming phenomena.

Well, I match your anecdote with my own - I've never heard anyone say that.

I suspect you may be subtly prompting them somehow, like by making it clear that you find it creepy. Having an opinion like "oh I don't like Facebook ads" is basically free because nobody will expect you to actually follow up on it and stop using Facebook. It's a quick bit of echo chamber virtue signalling that sounds better to people's ears than, "actually I quite like the ads on Facebook" which everyone knows from reading the press isn't the "correct" opinion to hold.

After all people have been saying this for years, and it never affected Facebook's revenue or user numbers before. I don't think their recent bad results are due to a sudden sea change in how people perceive ads.
On launch this was one of our banner features in Chrome -- full text search over your browsing history. I wrote some of the code. I believe we (Google's Chrome team) implemented (and contributed back) SQLite's full text search support exactly to make this feature.

I don't know why it was removed (after my time) but I do know it had a lot of problems.

1) Most users were unaware of the feature, and it's hard to find a way for them to discover it.

2) The index costs a lot of disk space, which makes #1 worse. There's a whole bunch of tradeoffs around how much storage to use vs how much history to keep. Pages that self-reload can cause the index to bloat endlessly (a real bug we had).

3) Having an index of pages locally is not sufficient to make a useful search engine. There's a lot of ranking involved in making google search good. Similarly we tried to show "snippets" of page text that showed why we showed the results we did and that itself requires a lot of effort to be useful.

#2 and #3 are just bugs that can be fixed with more effort, but it's hard to motivate that effort in the presence of #1.

(FWIW, the sibling comment about how it was removed to favor google.com searches isn't plausible to me, that's not how the Chrome team works.)

> Surely those who need that level of security should take the responsibility to enable it

That implies two code paths, one that enables the security and one that doesn't. That is more complicated (and less testable!) than either code-path on its own.

Security costs more than insecurity, but sometimes-security is the worst of all worlds.
> To call these platforms publishers—as The Atlantic’s Adrienne LaFrance recently did—is to presume that their task is merely to produce content.

No, publishers don't, as an essential feature, produce (in an original sense) content, they distribute it (which involves reproducing it, but that's different than producing it.) Some publishers do also control content creation, though many primarily it entirely acquire content from third-party creators.

The entire article and it's rejection of the idea that internet platforms are publishers rests on this bizarre error (it's not bizarre as a misunderstanding in the public, but it is bizarre how it can get published in a professionally edited media outlet, where presumably before publication at least one person basically aware of what publishers are had to have read and signed off on it.)

The point about cash games being "incredibly hard" is a bit off as well. Almost all casino's 1/2 NL games are beatable without playing the advanced of a game.

B5 was definitely in the first larger group I was thinking about, because it had a single writer with a vision. I agree that there's an awful lot of filler in there. Imagine what B5 would have been like without the stifling fixed-length episodes and need for filler B-plot and C-plot?

One show I was also thinking about was of course Game of Thrones. It has varying length episodes though, but they're all still pretty close at the one-hour mark.

It's interesting that no other show on Netflix or HBO, that wouldn't need to be bound by fixed-length, still isn't. There should be room to experiment more there.

The article says his available data starts at 1895.

However, the point of the article is to reverse engineer a biased chart, and to show it's biased intentions. The article does not try to determine whether climate change is real or not (even though the author's opinion is obvious).

So it doesn't matter if the author's data is limited... it matters that the author of the biased chart has been cherry picked.
Bingo. In particular decentralization is far too often taken to mean "profit is bad" and "companies have no role to play".
There's a bunch of statistics that show the US is not particularly entrepreneurial.

The US does have very high levels of VC investment, a large single market with (often) consistent regulation and language, and this helps startups survive more than they do in Europe.

I sometimes think of starting a startup back in Australia, but it always seems like a bad idea because of the lack of VC and lack of customers.

But I think the US should see this as an opportunity, if the US had better policies, we could get better outcomes than even now, because we have a lot of non-policy benefits already!

Everyone likes to pretend they can predict the future for a while, to the point where they will stop at nothing to make it conform to their predictions. Then comes the part where they will defend their choices to death, no matter how much evidence to the contrary is piling up. Once you start seeing the entire chain of consequences, it becomes easier to discipline yourself; it's a process of growing up and taking responsibility.
