I switched because I figured they'd turn the old one off eventually and I might as well get used to it. No issues on my end, and I'm not sure if it was there before but there's an option to make composing new emails take up most of the screen rather than the tiny popout, which I like.

Guess I'm not much of an advanced email user though, I use probably 3 other mail apps for various accounts and don't take advantage of any other features.
insider trading is not proof of material information though, and inside trades as per SEC are disclosed to public. it only becomes illegal when it's done knowingly in anticipation of disclosure materially significant news, but even if one could see the trades being done, one would have no way of knowing why unless they were insiders themselves. Just blinding following insider trades will likely lead to many false signals.

>Not to mentioned as a car company, it has lots of 'legacy' or baggage that they have to deal with.

Yeah, all "legacy" is bad. What could they possibly have learned in 100 years of building cars? Nothing that Tesla can't replicate in less than a decade! Meanwhile, Tesla owners are recommending a checklist of possible defects to look for when you go to pick up your vehicle. Non-super-fans will never tolerate that.

No bells and whistles? Simpler than the tactile interface of legacy cars? This is simply not true.
If batteries are getting so cheap why isn’t anyone making battery powered: chainsaws, full size vacuum cleaners, jet skis, ride on mowers? All of those would be revolutionary.
yet another OS without apps.
Maybe another influencing factor is parents who prefer that their toddlers only have contact with children of other parents who are somewhat like them. Thus, children are encouraged to create fewer friendships from an early age on.

The parents are not overprotective, or rather in a very specific way.

If that is so - (I'm just speculating here) - what we're seeing now is just the beginning of a trend that will continue for a very long time.
It's not reasonable, it's short sighted if you consider the long train of such "acceptable" abuses pursuing invariably the same end goal

It’s a great approach for hybrid web apps. I didn’t want to go with a React only frontend where routing is controlled by react-router. I’ve opted instead to leave the routing to Turbolinks. This has a number of advantages. I get the benefits of an SPA while still being able to render server generated Rails views. This frees me up to use React only where it’s advantageous; like on real-time super dynamic views. I have multiple React entry points and the data is tied together by a shared Redux store. I’ll admit this was not trivial to setup but it’s been working great.
And on the downside, it's an unmaintainable mess that would require a rewrite to have any hope of having a usable UI.
We are now working on the new version of Web Design Museum, which will be better optimized for mobile phones.
One thing I discovered and really liked during my stay in CR is soup. Contrary to potages or soups of my country they often contain meat, and ingredients with various textures. I liked it so much I bought a book on the topic: Polevky by Alena Doležalová. It’s filled with beautiful pictures and most recipes features variants.

"The 9th division of the KGB (responsible for the safety of all the members of Politburo, including the leader of the USSR) had 3000 personnel."

"After the fall of the USSR, the president (Boris Yeltsin) had a private guard of 18,000 personnel. Far more government leaders were guarded than they were during the USSR."

Quotes above from "From the KGB to the FSB" by Eugene Michalevich

If you are interested, there is a biography by Victor Medvedev (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Medvedev) about his time guarding various leaders of the USSR. If the book is to be believed, security was very light.
Battery powered chainsaws are very popular for light duty work. Small battery powered vacuums are also very popular.

> $600 Windows laptops are still are a mess of preloaded bullshit put there by the vendor

Honestly this is one of the biggest things I liked about Apple computers since switching to them in 2007. They're so clean and pure compared to Windows which always comes with bloatware. Even the basic drivers you actually need for the computer to work usually come with some sort of bloatware awful UI programs that need to be installed for the hardware to work.
This is a listing for a second-hand laptop, if the Chromebook had been bought second-hand too it would have probably cost significantly less than this.
There's a word for the phenomenon you describe: nostalgia.
I highly, highly, highly, highly agree!!!! So glad someone else out there likes it. It's like ubuntu with snapiness, of course.

Lubuntu is really like "teaching a man to fish". If you give them instructions on how to install it, then suddenly nobody will ever need a shiny new $1700 macbook to get started with basic programming and content rich web browsing.

Though personally I prefer text :)
> Can I Use says IE and Opera Mini are the only two major browsers that don’t have module support

Firefox doesn’t currently support dynamic imports and I’m not sure Edge does either, so maybe that’s the use case for this? Or if someone is locked into an older version of Chrome or Safari for some reason. But yes, all of the “major” browsers support modules for the most part.
I lived on the French Riviera in the 80s. Nearly all European women were topless at the beach, and in St. Tropez, there was full nudity. I recently visited, and the only topless women were older. None of the youth went topless. Fewer exposed breasts in advertising as well. No idea the cause, probably, instant global media has made them self-consciously realize few countries are that permissive.

Is it a bad idea to sue? I mean, they're Google, but, if they owed you the money...?

Just find a friend of a friend who is a lawyer and who will file it for you?
I feel this really acutely right now. I'm finding that it takes about 3 years of conscious, dedicated, effort to build a small circle of friends as an adult. It feels like all forces are against you in the process because there is nothing tying anyone to anyone else. Everyone is free to just change course, leave town, get into a new hobby. So keeping a group of 10 folks together? Be ready for some monumental effort!
This "second-hand laptop" is much more powerful than chromebook and can be found for less money. I just use the same price range.
There is data that says they have higher levels of lead [1]. About 4% higher than normal in children living within 500 m of a general aviation airport, dropping off with distance to insignificance at around 1000 m.

Note the the linked study did not consider wind patterns. Other studies cited in that one suggest that wind matters a lot, with someone downwind by a given distance getting a higher exposure than someone upwind the same distance.

For people between 25 and 54, in America, there are almost exactly as many men as women, to within less than one percent. [0] So if you see more men than women around you, that's a filter bubble that you've artificially put yourself in. Therefore the converse must be that there are many other places in America where there are more women than men.

So go out, socialize, get away from your bubble, and meet other people.

Windows Core OS is literally the next major OS from Windows (though who knows if they'll just silently upgrade Win10 without a name change or what). Its not small. The point is to create a modularized operating system, built on OneCore, where they can add or remove major features depending on the platform it is deployed to (even features as big as Win32 support).

Andromeda is the codename for their revitalized smartphone effort. Polaris is the codename for their "windows minus the legacy" experience on desktop; no Win32, just UWP, capable of running on significantly less powerful hardware.

> When you run ripgrep with its output connected to a tty, then its output is "prettified." That means results are grouped by file, colorized and include line numbers. But if you aren't connected to a tty, then ripgrep reverts to the standard grep format (e.g., no line numbers). This means you should be able to use ripgrep in pipelines pretty much exactly like you would use grep. It just does the right thing.

Yes, I knew that. What I meant to say is that in the particular case of "rg pattern file", I feel it doesn't to the right thing. I understand that my usual usage of that kind of invocation may not be like the majority, so I understand that other people might prefer that default as it is right now. In my usual usage, though, I feel the numbers are burdensome, because I have to imagine the output without it to know what I'm passing in to the next command I've yet to type in the pipeline. I can't remember the last time I used that kind of invocation to look for the line number a match was in. I only ever use the line numbers when matching a directory or multiple files.

Good bang for the buck but I want at least 8 GB DDR4 in a new laptop (bought in 2018), and preferably also TB3 and an AMD GPU.

Regardless of the other unnecessary or lacking features Macbook laptops have (butterfly keyboard, touchbar, magsafe, USB-A ports come to mind) if you want a decent amount of RAM and an AMD GPU you pay the jackpot price on MBPs.
Interesting contrast within the article:

> Today, nudists complain, it is more difficult to separate nakedness from sex. French nudists say their movement’s younger members are overwhelmingly men; women are leery of being leered at. “Parts of Cap d’Agde have been completely sexualised,” says Wim Fisscher

> If any space is more embarrassing for non-European tourists than a French nude beach, it is a German or Dutch sauna. They are unisex and naked by default. All bodies, thin, fat, young or old, are treated non-judgmentally. The one thing that will earn a disapproving stare is wearing clothing, because such modesty implies an inappropriate level of sexual consciousness.

But then:

> But the vision of nakedness as a demonstration of freedom and equality seems to be faring less well. Nudity has been central to European culture since the Greeks first sculpted Hermes.

Hermes was a great choice for this sentence, but it makes me wonder whether the writer knew that. Representations of Hermes were often naked, or at least displaying genitals, but they certainly weren't conceptually separated from sex. A Herm had a large erect penis. There was a statue of ithyphallic Hermes in a famous temple of Demeter, and an accompanying legend saying that he'd gotten into that state by seeing Persephone.
Or maybe it’s the ogling tourists who are not used to this who are turning them off —by sexualizing the custom. Or you may be right that maybe they are finding out this is not the global normal—altho I don’t think that would affect their attitude.

Or as alluded to, maybe it's just the sexualization of nakedness.

Bottom line, the antioxidant alpha tocopherol repairs the damage. This only affects people with low levels, most likely due to aging. Also it's not clear how bright the blue light was that caused damage in the experiment.
They aren't useless. They are of questionable utility with regard to price.

I made a cute little amount of money in BTC/LTC speculation and I ultimately bought about $3,000 worth of labor using those coins. It was infinitely easier than having to send cash and deal with foreign and domestic laws around hiring labor and reporting that income.

But, as fees increase and the price remains unpredictable, it becomes less fungible. That doesn't mean it is useless.

You can but at the risk of deviding people. And most definitely alienating some people.

The the entire men vs women is toxic. Every man can't be held responsible for for what some man did in the past. We are different people and not identified by our gender. The same holds tire doe women. What a man or woman does mentally really should not even be a topic. Making it one will only create sides that people are forced to join. It also brings up a bunch of questions that str not productive to society. Like which group is better ? If you answer either group you now become sexiest. It is just as bad to say women code better than men vs men code better than women. That is where every one of these gender separations of groups lead too. It is toxic and vile. And nobody should support it.
How many laptops are ever upgraded? You're stuck with the original processor and whatever wear and tear the thing has accumulated. I know I have a small stack of obsolete or half-dead laptops from across the years, and the only upgrade that was ever worth the hassle was hard disk -> SSD.

Well, to clarify, I'm referring to RR's advice not to use any of the consumer-level services. And since, as far as I know, they are all fee-based 'tools', I don't see why one can't not use them.

I think that's quite a bit premature. Yes, Microsoft has done a great job diversifying of late, but Windows is still a huge percentage of their revenue. Also, my guess is that people that use Windows are much more likely to use Office (even the cloud version), which is the next biggest part of their revenue.

I love PG but listening to his advice on startups always felt like discovering the steps to create a nuclear bomb.

Step 1) collect seven pounds of weapons grade plutonium

Step 1 of a great startup is an amazing idea. Unless you have step one I think the advice is pretty non applicable. Sure, I get the whole camp “ideas are a dime a dozen”, but, a bad idea can fall apart with millions of VC ran by MIT grads and an amazing idea can come to life with a few hundred bucks with a high school kid.
Looking at these older websites (for me thats 1996—2002) I remember spending a lot of my time on figuring out how they really worked underneath it all.

It was truly an exciting time where the differences in design and style for websites were big.

Today, you don't really see personal websites anymore, and things have somehow become streamlined and pretty much just standard. There is hardly any wow effect on the web anymore, and that's sad I think.
Rails is optimal for the web-tier which is traditionally scaled by being stateless, so you have one process per core (or thread if you are using JRuby) and you are done. It's ironic you list Node as the path forward since it is also single-threaded. Obviously it is more efficient on the baseline with async IO, but it still requires the same number of processes to saturate multiple cores, and you can also trivially eat into the IO overhead in ruby with green threads via Puma.
Ugh. I'm torn when I see things like this. I sincerely like the rationalist community, but I never quite engaged with it. And posts like this seem to confirm that it was probably a good decision on my part.

The author identifies 3 successful instances of what he wants to exist, and then fails to ask the question of "how do they accomplish what I want to?"

In particular, one of the marketplaces, the financial markets, is several orders of magnitude larger than the others and has a huge vested interest in getting issues like this right. And they largely have.

For instance the capital issues are handled through a broker system, where the aggregation of opposing bets allows for mitigation of risk from margined bets, and the settlement processes, such as daily settlement of price differences in futures.

If you're trying to build something complex, it's probably a bad idea to start from a blank slate. A lot of our existing solutions were hard-won, and it would be a shame to simply discard that understanding. The programming community, and others connected to it, seem to disregard history and existing institutions as obsolete or to be distrusted. For a field that's less than a century old, that's somewhat defensible. Nassim Taleb makes the point in Antifragile that ideas usually have something akin to a constant hazard rate. Something old which is still used is less likely to be replaced than something that has only been around for a short while. The nascency of most of science makes it hard then to determine what is and isn't fungible. But marketplaces are as old as trade. The aspects that we see in them are far less arbitrary than you'd think, even if it's hard to express exactly why they are there. If you're going to work at building another version of something that has been around for so long, you'd be wise to start by analyzing and understanding what is already out there. I think it's the engineering equivalent of Eric Weinstein's policy around talking to people you know to be intelligent. If they seem to be saying something obvious, they are probably saying something subtle. And if they say something that seems wrong, they may instead be saying something counterintuitive. Similarly, if part of an antiquated system that is still in use seems to be useless, needlessly complex, or downright harmful, there is a good chance that you simply don't understand it.

I was really excited last year when I saw some people within lesswrong trying to become more accommodative and appreciative of "hufflepuffs" within the community (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/DbdP8hD2AcKcdSsgF/project-hu...). I really hope that effort continues and sees fruition. Hangups like this could be easily spotted and remedied by having a contingent of people who are less philosophical and more battle-hardened within your ranks.

> Yes it does. Threads of society are being cut, which is not only causing loneliness, but also emotional distancing, political polarization, demonizing folks in other camps, etc.

The post I replied to mentioned specifically small talk with various clerks and tellers.

Those clerks and tellers are still there today, just like they were 20 years ago. If you walk into any of those stores listed, you'll find human beings present to have micro social interactions with.

I know because I was a teenager back in the mid/late 1990s (no cellphones back then) and I was super shy back then and talked to almost no one except for a small group of close friends. You can't really blame technology for being introverted. It's a lifestyle choice. There's nothing wrong with it too, but you need to be real with yourself and realize you're actively making the choice to live that way.

Nowadays there's an unlimited amount of chances to have micro-conversations. I see it (and do it) every day. I mean just today I went to the post office because I wanted to ship a box. It's a rare occurrence, but I saw some women standing on a separate line waiting for a passport. So I approached her and asked how long do passports last nowadays and we got to talking. Next thing you know, we're 1 minute into talking. It ended when they called her up, and that was it. Micro social interaction complete.

I think blaming technology is just a cop out. If you went to a concert or something, I'm sure you'd have an opportunity to talk to dozens of people, but if you choose to stand there with your face buried in a phone and not talk to anyone then you can't blame your phone for loneliness. It's on you.
Yes, but until 2027 :-)

In the US too there is a trend of women taking over the work force due to the nature of where the economy is headed. The kinds of jobs that need doing are jobs that women excel at. Less and less manual labor, more and more intellectual and social labor.

There is a huge shift taking place in society, and while I don't think it is a bad thing, there will certainly be a lot of discomfort while society adapts.
One thing that's good about Chromebook is that if I save something, it's in one of two places - Downloads folder or Gdrive.
