An executive risking jail time to help employees out does not sound that plausible, to be honest.

Now an executive risking jail time to enrich themselves? Now we’re talking.
I can relate to this, but there are things you can do to at least limit the time-wastes. Here's a breakdown of his list and how I solve some of those problems.

* eating: eat while you work or do something else; plus it also allows you to skip your lunch break at work, get more shit done and go home early.

* cooking: don't. If you live in a major city there should be a few healthy (not fast-food crap) takeaway options available. Just order while on your way home and dinner will be there shortly after you arrive.

* bills and bank related activities: switch to a bank that doesn't suck. I use a fully-online bank called Monzo since more than a year and I honestly can't remember the last time I actually had to spend more than a handful of minutes for "banking" activities. Ditch suppliers/utilities that waste your time for those that get out of your way.

* budgeting: again, try to find a bank with an app that does it for you or makes it easier.

* cleaning: outsource it.

* car upkeep: if in a major city ask yourself if it's worth the trouble to own a car. In my case Uber works out fine.

* pet upkeep: don't get pets? I love cats more than anything else and yet even I don't get one because I barely have time for myself, let alone the cat.

* general repairs and replacements for things breaking or going obsolete: outsource it, order online, etc.

* religious activities: don't?

* home upkeep/renovations/gardening: outsource it?

But I'm definitely interested in others' perspectives on this and how they solve this problem.
Any state is equally improbable. It's human judgement to tell something was special or not. If all states are all possible combination of numbers in a lottery, you just call 1 combination "I won" and all the others "I lost".
Same thing applies to a cleaned up room, any arrangements of objects in it are equally probable, but the number of states you would call cleaned up are so much less than the messy ones, so you can say a cleanup up room is less likely than a cleaned up one (unless you do something about it :P)
This is also the fundamental of entropy btw.

TL;DR By grouping states together (human choice), certain arrangements seem more probable than others.
> Your second state is only pure if no information has leaked into the environment.

Not true in a many-worlds model. The “I measured” part is intended to account for the environment, at least initially.

> Or are you asking how we derive the Born rule?

More or less. In a many-worlds interpretation, there is no Born rule per se. I’m saying it’s not entirely trivial to recover the statistics that the Born rule would give.

Oh come on, if people as a huge and diverse group were capable of working together towards a single, mutually beneficial, yet difficult long term goal we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place. People will leave a region after it becomes impossible for them to live there, and. It a moment before. They’ll roll the dice on their little slice of heaven not being too seriously impacted, and it is they’ll scream and demand assistance. I mean, we can’t even agree as a group that climate change is real, significant, and manmade!

I hate to come across as a dismal cynic, but I have very little hope in this area. People only seem to learn about fire after they’re burned, and that’s worked for us as a species until recently. Climate change, nuclear war, and some other relatively modern possibilities simply don’t allow for that to work, but we as humans haven’t changed. We’ll burn.
But when the artist demands a certain payout, and the only way the promoter can make the numbers work is to set a "face value" $X, offer 15% of inventory at $X on the open sale, and then offload everything else directly to ticker brokers at various tiers of price points at several multiples of X, you have to start to put at least _some_ of the blame on the artists for knowingly participating in a "don't ask don't tell" style industry...
This doesn’t hurt ticket buyers as much as it hurts artists and producers. It’s they who get payed less from Ticketmaster, the consumer would have to pay market value anyway.

What they should really do to get market value ethically is simple, have an auction for the tickets. The going price would be transparent to buyers, artists/producers and Ticketmaster wouldn’t have the ability to doubly collect fees without paying the artists/producers their real cut in the end. Of course you could argue Ticketmaster would have the ability to benefits from resellers anyway, but in reality the price difference the second time would not be big enough to be benificial for scalpers and Ticketmaster.

If the band/artist want to give more to dedicated fans, just set a side a set of tickets for their fan club and let them buy for a flat fee or from a private auction.
I haven't studied Nietzsche, but this post took me to one of his central themes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master–slave_morality

I realized that due to my life experiences, I see the world through the slave morality. Basically that there is a lot of subjectivity when it comes to good and evil, that the world isn't so black and white. For example land developers might see growth as a completely noble endeavor, whereas environmentalists might see the sin of destroying mother nature. I'm pretty solidly in that second group about a great many things.

So just to throw an idea out there - I wonder if today's conservatives follow the master morality, whereas today's liberals follow the slave morality. Note that this wasn't always true - for example republicans used to be the party of Lincoln (liberators of slaves) and southern democrats used to be slave masters. But I'm asking about today. Is this completely off base or is it an insight that could be used to find some common ground?
Hi I work in digital analytics and have a question. A problem with Piwik is if that PSQL database goes down (a database is NEVER 100% up) what happens to the data your JavaScript snippet is sending?

Will also add a lot of comments here are very unfair I hope you take them with a grain of salt.
I did interview around a bit. Issue is immigration shuts down a lot of the process once they see anything autism on the application.

The goal of copyright is not to put works into the public domain, it's to allow the creator to extract all the possible value from their work. This has been the basis for every copyright extension and the courts have agreed seeing little value in letting works go public domain.

Well, you don’t have to, but the watch is basically a total loss once it requires a service. You could service it preserve the sentimental value, but if OP wanted a hearty watch they would’ve bought a G-Shock or quartz.

(Tangent: folks in the watch community are “particular” about the watches they purchase. In 2018 quartz is out of style, even though they run longer and resist shock more than automatic watches. In my mind, OP traded one trendy watch - the Apple Watch - for another watch trend.)

How Convolutional Codes Correct Transmission Errors
I hesitate to say its unfair because I don't know how to even begin to define what fair would look like.

Look at the situation in Syria. When Obama refused significant interventions (despite his famous "red line"), Europe sharply criticized the U.S. notwithstanding the fact that Europe refused to intervene itself. This example shows how much of the world accepts and affirms the U.S. role as a so-called global policeman, at least when it suits them.

Now imagine a situation where the U.S. bowed to pressure and intervened at Europe's behest, but subsequently was drawn into an ICC prosecution for some action in that country. That hardly seems fair, to assume both the direct cost of the conflict plus the cost of ex post criticisms by parties unwilling to participate themselves. Especially in light of the fact that, relatively speaking, the U.S. has well functioning military courts willing and capable of punishing crimes, particularly the types of serious crimes the ICC was established to handle.

The existing situation is unfair in the sense that the U.S. is a wealthy hegemon, while most countries are poor and vulnerable. But the U.S. putting itself under ICC jurisdiction wouldn't substantially change that. It's such a complex situation I find it hard to criticize the U.S. here. I sort of like Clinton's approach of "plausible ratification", which appreciated both the real politick and idealist aspects. It lent the court legitimacy without risking a crisis where the U.S. repudiated jurisdiction or where the threat of repudiation caused ICC prosecutors or judges to pull their punches. Situations of the latter type would slowly erode the ICC's legitimacy.
Your best bet is to move. Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, California, Minnesota have good services. Texas defunded special ed in schools and the Feds cracked down on them so now they have to provide services but it will take years to get enough providers. I would move. But what you want is a center based program (so you can work). You can find these in Arizona and Florida as well I believe but there are issues there due to republican control of the state legislatures. FYI Minnesota HAD crazy wait lists and a Federal judge admonished them for not spending the money and things turned around in about 2-3 years. So we do have limited providers with about a 6 month wait list and only 1 provider in the metro area for kids older than age 7. So I would say Massachusetts or New Jersey or New York.

In my experience school districts are terrible at providing services. You want county level, private insurance or Medicaid. Also you want to be in a college town or near a college town because 90% of the line ABA therapists are college kids (supervised by a BCBA etc.. and up to a psyD etc... that helps staffing immensely. California has a 6 month wait at the regional center level for assessment, Minnesota has a SMRT wait of 60 days if I recall correctly but the bigger issue is ~6months to get into a center based program.

If moving is not an option another idea is to start a program. You are not alone and other parents will band together. For Texas it would fill a huge need.

Author's bio at https://jimsteichen.com/about/
The House already did, so now its off to the Oval Office, but since it has overwhelming votes, a Presidential veto would be pointless, as The Congress has the votes to override.
I think the main problem with the author of the article is that he's still essentially reacting passively to the world around him. He's acting in response to things that bump up against him -- maybe he's trying to assess whether they're important or worth doing, but he's still fundamentally passive.

The difference between him and his friend who does the triathlon is -- there's no one who looks at the clock early in the evening, glances around their apartment, then checks their phone real quick, then says, "I guess I'll train for a triathlon." That's the sort of desire or goal that comes at a different moment in time, perhaps while you're doing something else, or you're caught between things. And you think, "Shit, I should run a triathlon".

Once you've had that thought, when you get home from work your first thought is, "when do I train for my triathlon?" And once that's done, you fit the rest of the crap in any which way.

The point being, start out with one or more positive, active goals. Prioritize them (as acconrad has said). Everything else just sifts in afterwards. It could be raising your kid, or volunteering for local politics, or playing the piano. Do something first and foremost, something you have decided to do, and you'll find you somehow still have time for all the other crap. (Or you'll find that you don't, and it doesn't matter.)

The author's problem is that there's a gap between what he's doing and what he thinks he ought to be doing. On the plus side he's already got some perspective via his humorous writing.

In addition he might try and do nothing for a spell: I've found this to be impossible. One can then relax and watch oneself doing the truly essential tasks. Automatically. This is the 'ability to let that which does not matter truly slide' (Tyler Durden in Fight Club).

The underlying assumption in the article is that even after the AI-Automation revolution people will still want jobs. A good chunk of the population might just be happy when their basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, entertainment, etc are met by automated factories and services. It is possible to create this supply meets demand world at zero recurring costs.
Notifications are amazing for say, shift workers who are too busy to check their phones...like doctors and nurses.
Doesn't that just make the AI's creators the mayor? In this case it literally does because you can't vote for a robot so citizens must vote for the creator. But I personally think that it makes more sense to campaign as the person and make your platform about your system for making policy decisions via analytics. To claim the AI is the mayor and you are an independent third party is misleading about the effect the creator has since no AI has exhibited agency.

I've only read the article, not more, so this campaign could be presented differently to the Japanese citizens than the article made it seem.
Yeah, and that's entirely true as an explanation for why IPFS is still valuable - if you have popular content other people have accessed recently or are currently accessing, it can in theory take a ton of load off of your server by letting those people share some of the load to new users. Incredibly powerful for DDoS protection/avoiding the "Hug of Death", and potentially greatly reducing hosting costs by reducing traffic to your particular server at precisely those moments that would be most expensive - when you'd otherwise be serving lots of requests for some newly popular bit of content.

It's just a mistake to view IPFS as allowing for truly "decentralized" websites or as a decentralized file storage platform - unless you have the kind of content that makes other people want to follow the typical torrent model and actively long-term "seed" it by pinning, you'll still need to have your own personal central server to host the content on if and when nobody else is.

Which, yes, IPFS has explicitly never promised that - but a lot of people seem to think it does.
From Scratch: AI Balancing Act in 50 Lines of Python
This is a good description of IPFS for those of us who weren't aware of it before. But, I think if it works the way you're describing here (and I assume you have it right), then it's not going to fully succeed at being the "distributed web" that it desires to be for the reasons that you outline.

Having said that, I think IPFS sounds like a really good idea -- oddly, it's a lot like what I envisioned in a science fiction novel, where the notion of data being replicated across hundreds of storage nodes is so taken for granted that the main character has trouble conceiving of the notion of data that has a "location" (that is, is stored on only one device). But to get there, it needs to be largely content-agnostic: if the data is out there on the network, then it's replicated across those hundreds of storage notes, regardless of popularity. IPFS proves that technology is basically already here in theory -- but in practice, I'm not sure it's feasible in terms of storage costs/requirements yet.
I've found meal prepping to be a fantastic solution. I can make 5 meals in about an hour with my 4 burner stove. These meals are cheap, help me eat a lot of vegetables, and allow me to easily hit my macronutrient goals for strength training.

Obviously from reading these comments, most people here are not gamblers and prob do not have much interaction with bookies.

With bookies your honor and reputation is #1.

When you gamble, you take a risk and the counterparts takes a risk. Then it is up to Lady Luck to decide.

If you take a bet, you can’t back out. Just don’t take the bet in the first place.

In this case the guy sure had his stars aligned. To not honor that is insulting to all gamblers who respect the unknown and risk taking. They broke the social contract between the gambler and bookie.

Fanduel absolutely does not deserve to be company and should be grouped together with all the shady overseas bookies.

It's definitely better to batch stuff, but even then, an hour of your time is probably worth a lot more than the equivalent of buying those 5 meals already made.

Not to mention, I assume the one hour doesn't include time to clean up, which for me is one of the biggest drawbacks of cooking.

My wife gets frustrated with my attempts at ruthless prioritization and my efforts to remove future potential time sinks from my life. I would like to achieve financial independence before having a house, dog, and children (well, I did own a house briefly before moving across the country). This is unlikely to occur, so I'm trying to figure out the next best path for the future: a small, well-built house with a simple yard, a breed of dog that is easy to train and requires little grooming, and as for children... well I just hope I get lucky.

I don't want "free time" in order to lounge around and watch TV (I don't even own a TV). I want free time to be able to research topics that interest me and start companies. It's difficult for a middle class or even upper-middle class person to simultaneously maintain a full-time job, family, health, and extremely productive hobbies. And I would say it's next to impossible for someone who came from a below-middle class background.

While “literalism” might be close enough for rough grouping, I’ll note that few evangelicals or even (traditional Christian) fundamentalists hold to absolute literalism. The Chicago Statement on Inerrancy is the widely accepted standard, and it says:

> inerrancy does not refer to a blind literal interpretation, and that "history must be treated as history, poetry as poetry, hyperbole and metaphor as hyperbole and metaphor, generalization and approximation as what they are, and so forth."

Evangelicals do hold that the Deity means what He says, even about creation in Genesis. There’s a potential for fact/faith conflict there, but it’s not really logically necessary.

Which is to say, Dawkins isn’t a terribly reliable guide to what believers believe.
