I asked my colleagues who come from a range of Asian backgrounds and they tend to feel there is a resurgence of modern soft Confucianism. Obviously they could be chosing a trope to get out of the conversation too.

I'm not American. I'm in Australia but working with a body that covers all 56 Asia Pacific economies with some national chapters. The Bhutanese are very very strong on ancestor and elder respect (for instance)

> And given our history the current amount of cooperation is already impressive

People cooperate fantastically when there is economic gain to be had. We're fucking atrocious at cooperating if one (or both) sides are set to lose out (as is the case wrt reduced consumption).

Cooperating when all/most parties are better off isn't impressive.

Real cooperation would be something like the Saudis announcing over night that "you know what, climate change sucks so we're going to stop pulling oil out of the desert regardless of how much it hurts us".

How likely is that?

Video RAM is not cheap. But often it sits unused. It's also one to two orders of magnitude faster than an SSD.
As far as I can tell, the use of "thou" in the early (until about the 17th century) English translations was to preserve the grammatical number found in the Hebrew and Greek originals, which had separate forms for singular and plural second-person pronouns. This was certainly the case in the Old English translations, as well as in Wycliffe's Middle English and Tyndale's early Modern English. When those translations were made, "thou" and "ye" were the ordinary English words that corresponded with the originals. It has nothing at all to do with Latin.

At the time James VI/I commissioned his Authorized translation, "thou" was already starting to fall out of production, but was not something that seemed foreign or archaic to English speakers, and he'd asked his translators to follow the style of the existing English translations, which were by-and-large based on Tyndale's. There are certainly some ways in which the translation attempts to emphasize certain theological/christological viewpoints, but the usage of "thou" is not one of them.

If you're wondering about it and don't take the effort to research then that's your problem, not something you should share with the world. If on the other hand you have done the research, but can't be bothered to share the results the question is again why share the question with the world without sharing the answer?
I'm late for this reply, but it completely depends on your use case. If you're just a normal user using cryptocurrency daily and you're most interested in the stability of value you could trade everything you receive for a "stablecoin" as it's known within crypto circles. This would effectively "lock in" the value. This is most effective using e.g. Nano since you can perform this immediately without worrying about transaction fees.

If you're unaware of that concept as a user but a fiat "off-ramp" exists (a way to turn your Nano into your local currency) you can immediately "cash out" whenever you receive a transaction.

If you're dealing with micro-transactions or payments in general then we're beginning to wade into the territory of imaging a secondary "off-chain" system of accounting and many strategies likely apply.
I agree, left-pad was a mess, but while the huge amount of dependencies is the thing people most complain about, is it actually unique to Javascript? Looking at the Gemfile for this project, it seems like you're also going to have to install hundreds of gems if you want to get this up and running.

I don't understand your point about the Paleo diet.

I just Googled, and apparently the "ignore how infant mortality affects life expectancy" is a talking point of pro-Paleo websites. This is a good point (although it seems to ignore the high mortality rate of women during childbirth), but seems pretty irrelevant to the rest of the article.

Ignoring that, it seemed a reasonably well thought-out counterpoint to another fad diet.

Agree, this is the only thing that's almost as well-designed as the init part of systemd. Unfortunately, you still have some weird edge-case every now and then with it that's just not possible to set up, and then you're screwed because you cannot just plug in in a little shell snippet somewhere.
Yeah, I think it's important to consider very hard whether the carefulness is adaptive and maladaptive. This is not an easy problem. I have done my fair share of both underchecking and overchecking.
How to Lose Weight by Balanced Diet
No, it's not usable for dieting for healthy (non-diabetic) individuals because the pancreas will adjust glucose/insulin levels to a pretty flat level.

When a non-diabetic person says "I need some blood sugar" when they're hungry and cranky, their actual glucose levels are pretty much at the same levels as usual.
I’m sure that’s a factor. But most of the largest cities in the world are specifically on the coast or on a large river very close to the coast. You can’t drink the water in the ocean, so that leaves trade as the main driver (by my reckoning, at least).

I think this is common across the developing world. Contributing to declining birth rates "why put in effort to bolster members of my society?" and similar notions.
I am a technical lead in Walldorf, Germany. This area and surroundings of around 15-20 km radius (Walldorf, Heidelberg, Speyer, Schwetzingen) can also be an option with some of the reasons mentioned:
-Good concentration of people working in SAP having technical experience as well as specific industry and business experience
- Not in a very big city but still close(driving distance) to Frankfurt and Stuttgart and close enough to stay in mid cities like Heidelberg, Karlsruhe and Mannheim
- Startup scene is not that developed so less competition and can be quite attractive to talent from big companies like SAP, Bosch, etc.
- Available pool of students from universities in Heidelberg, Karlsruhe and Mannheim
- Traffic and congestion in this area is quite manageable
- Not a very happening nigh life like Berlin but there are good party and night life options in above college towns
- Decent cost of living and rental options ranging from very expensive (Heidelberg Altstadt, Walldorf) to economical (small towns like Bad Schonborn) in 15-20 km radius
- Tolerant, peaceful, family-friendly neighborhoods in numerous small towns with people from different nationalities

Maybe someone in this area can also add other points.
systemd does not predate the industry's love affair.

According to wikipedia, the initial release was in March 2010. The industry started courting virtualization (as it is practiced today) with the appearance of EC2, in August 2006, and the love affair came shortly afterwards.

"Reducing boot time" is of great importance for short-lived containers - if it takes 60 seconds to boot a server, and you only run it for 120 seconds, then you have 50% overhead. If it takes 6 seconds, you're down to 5% overhead; If it takes 150ms (e.g. Intel Clear Container project), it's completely negligible.

Those scripts, are, in fact, old and fragile, and while they did manage the boot process, "reliable" is a stretch. I've personally filed 2 bugs against the horrible hodge-podge of isc-dhcp that, in rare occasions, randomly failed (which is a bit of a problem if your DHCPd box is unattended and a few hours drive).

Through the years, many systems much better than init scripts have been proposed and implemented - personally I like the daemontools family, which I think is inherently better thought out.

although it definitely helped to have red hat backing, systemd won on for technical reasons: it's much better than the init scripts; it's not inferior to any other system; and it comes with simple integration with network/resolvers/etc (by virtue of including those services) -- something that saves distributions a lot of work integrating various parts.
Exactly, government level action is needed. If you or I use energy saving or regular light bulbs does not tip the scale. A steel or aluminum Mill, a car factory, a Google data center, a chips factory, these matter as each consumes the energy equivalent to a small town.

That's a moot argument. You may have a right to own a ROM because you own the original hardware the ROM was extracted from. But that's an entirely different matter than whether they have the right to distribute a copy of it to you.

Community version is 30day old or behind the paid version. Problem with alot of IDS/IPS is it needs to see the contents of the packets before it can block, unless it breaks the encryption its not going to work. So its not a panacea but then nothing is, and its hard to tell if this is already provided by AV products with web browser addons. If you take Kaspersky, they are the only AV product which uses CPU virtualisation to scan for malware running in memory on a windows box for their Safe Money web browser facility. CPU virtualisation is one of those areas that can bypass alot of security products, so if you can stack up enough zero days to get into an OS and mod a bios, you can hide for a long time. Single core CPU's also have their uses as well, but you dont see that mentioned much either in the security arena.
Not a sufferer of OCD, but anxiety and depression (and associated neuroticism). One of the scary things to accept is that you have no control over what you think, free will is a (darn good) illusion.

Since we have no idea why these obsessive and dark thoughts are occuring in psychiatric patients, the best thing you can do, as a patient, is to get good at identifying all the bullshit that's going through your head: "No, that random crowd of people doesn't deeply despise you", "No, you don't have to kill yourself because you can't finish your studies in regular time", "No, you won't be laughed at because you're looking for an SO"

Precisely none of the fears I had have ever come to pass. I am, relative to people I interact with, (by a huge margin) my largest critic, which can be disabling, when every time you make some small trivial mistake you think "Oh god, nobody will ever forgive me for this, what a stupid PoS you are". It's all a fiction told by a disordered part of the mind.

On the bright side, things have been improving a ton for me since when it was really bad a year ago, but it takes medication (not an option for everyone), time and lots of patience.

One of the best things I came across on the web are the works of Robert Sapolsky, biology and neurology professor at Stanford. Specifically his 25 part lecture series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL150326949691B199, his talk on depression: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOAgplgTxfc and his book "Behave" (there's more from him, just look around).

It's not that I learned some "magic fact" that suddenly frees me from all nonsensical thoughts, but it has opened up the complex, nuanced world of human biology and behavior and numerous interactions between genes and environment, between mind and body or between different functional parts of the brain (obviously a course like this can only give a broad overview).

There's so much hidden stuff happening that, without us being conscious of it, influences who we are, and yet one doesn't have to be a plaything of one's environment, because several of these factors can be influenced like which experiences you seek and which you avoid, once you are aware that these things can shape you. That said, a lot of stuff like your genetic predisposition, prenatal environment, childhood, external stressors (e.g. death of close relatives and friends) can not be changed, but it also matters _how_ you think about them.

One will not become resistant to psychiatric illness no matter how fancy and elaborate you think about it or yourself, but it takes off the edge of thinking of oneself as this especially hopeless case. And equally importantly Sapolsky's course/book shaped my thinking of others, made me much less prejudicial (I sometimes catch myself with prejudice, but normally I notice), much more aware that everyone else is also subject to the same rules and phenomena that govern human thought and behavior and there's nothing "wrong" with them (in the sense that they're just "an evil person" or somesuch thing).
Plausible is too weak a word, and "failing to explain or provide a mechanism" is too damning and dismissive.

I'm saying we may never know the real story, in that no single theory might ever accumulate enough backing evidence to be proven correct, by virtue of the processes being examined. SAH operates in a space where we may only find utility in thought experiments.

I can see one or two points of evidence emerging, that could simply blow SAH to bits and put the nail in the coffin of debate. But just as easily, I could see a fossil jump out of the ground, and upend our thinking overnight. The evolutionary tale of human prehistory is that brittle, based on what we have in front of us right now.

The only ways I see SAH being proven, are forward looking replication of results, or longshot statistical truths, found in subtle clues which are very hard to measure, all in one place. Meanwhile, literally any other theory could burst onto the scene with a stronger, more convincing and reasonable narrative, and bury SAH so deep in its own wild and extraordinary whimsy that we never think about it again. But neither has happened yet, so we can still navel gaze on this one.

But, take anything you want. Any externality, leveraging selective pressure, but leaving scant traces of ever even having happened, and you've got a good competing hypothesis with legs under it. Instead of psychoactive substances, why not body lice, for example, as a selective externality? Although less charismatic than SAH, just as reasonable of a story, but just as tough to tease out a smoking gun.

How would body lice influence circumstances favoring for genetic brain size? We might easily hypothesize an illness spread by one kind of louse, whereby the head lice versus the body lice is the deciding factor to produce the selective brain outcome in the same time span. But why the bigger brain on the other side of it? Same as with SAH, the brain size could be an incidental trait. That's the way bottlenecks, invasive species explosions and fitness arms races work in evolution. Some outcomes are non-deterministic, so we never get satisfying proof.
> We're clever and resourceful enough as a race to deal with this problem.

I think the most depressing part about this whole situation is that I agree with most of what you wrote, up until this sentence. We like to believe that we are clever and resourceful, but the facts on the ground are that we are not, in fact, clever and resourceful. At least not in this period of history. In this period of history we are demonstrably fucking dumb, and have destroyed ourselves.

The next phase of human existence absolutely will require cleverness and resourcefulness, for it will be borne out in a dying world where ecosystems are unraveling, political systems have failed, and the vast majority of humanity has...sadly, died.

> It's all so very sad.

If the word sad could be stretch to cover the enormity of 10s of billions of human lifetimes of tragic short-sightedness giving rise to literally trillions upon trillions of organisms being snuffed out of existence, then yeah.
More like current Japanese economy makes it fucking hard to live out traditional Japanese family image. Life-long cushy salaryman jobs are sparse. Yet Japanese women who stick to the traditional image won't take up a dude working McJob. The only way save face (which is one of top priorities in Japan if not Asia) is to pretend you have no interest in that at all.

There're quite a few young people living out the traditional Japanese dream though. Birth rates seem to be coming back up too. Possibly because Tokyo (where most young people are concentrated, the rest of the country is more or less dying) is slowly becoming child-friendly. More spacious housing for affordable (as that can be) prices, more public facilities for children and child care/schools seem to be getting cheaper.
A friend of mine "automated" his infusion pump (not diabetes) by 3D printing an arm and actuators attached to the physical buttons of the pump and controlling that remotely. Basically most actions consisted of automated sequences of button presses in the correct order.

How feasible is this for an insulin pump? I know it adds bulk to a device that has to be worn constantly and inconspicuously but it may be a worthwhile trade if you can't find a compatible pump.

As long as it can be controlled by the wearer's finger it should be possible to automate it with an "artificial finger".
