It doesn't need to be scientifically rigorous. In fact, getting away from the obsession with precision is kinda the whole point.

It ought to be easy for someone to realize they are having too many sodas, or playing too much video games if they think in terms of e.g. what diet/activity restrictions they might impose on hypothetical kids. Those kinds of realizations are way more actionable and way more likely to make an impact than some dubious diet "hack"

It may seem borderline corny to ask people to eat their brussel sprouts and limit their gaming/tv time, but alas many don't even do that.

I am amazed that we allow cars in any place that people are nearby, such as cities of suburbs? 40,000 people die every year in the US, just so someone can get somewhere slightly quicker. Roads take up more space than private housing. Cost billions every single year.Such a ridiculous cost.
Right now we are focused on other areas like producing a Windows version and supporting more Flutter plugins.

Making it feel like a desktop app might be something we tackle in the longer term. But my personal view is that platform fidelity isn't particularly important as long as an app is fast, responsive and looks good. eg. Gmail and Spotify have been wildly successful without needing to look like native apps.

I found edX to be pretty lacking if you wanted to learn something advanced that's not quite "flavor of the day:" no higher level pure math classes, very few algorithms classes past intro level, very little material on digital design other than the MIT 6.002 sequence. Tons of choices for machine learning, Python, and AP calculus though.
I actually have no idea what is informing your thinking here, on both counts, its like you are just making stuff up as you go along.

>Not when it's artificially restricting supply

Wrong. You are neglecting the very non-artificial fact that bedrock depth has always been the main limiting factor for that part of Manhattan between Midtown and FiDi, or more so that its only because of the uniquely solid and deep bedrock under FiDi and Midtown that skyscrapers exist here at all. If they could have built skyscrapers there, they would have. As building technology permits, gradually, they are. Regardless, the housing that does exist is simply not as you describe. When was the last time you spent any time in New York?

>It's good density for a mid-size city, terrible for a city as large (and growing) as New York.

The area we are talking about, between FiDi and Midtown, holds over 250k housing units for close to half a million people. 75% of those units feature 20 or more units. That's a range of about 100-150 people per acre. Manhattan overall contains 70k residents per square mile, across all boroughs its 27k per sq. mile, the highest density in America. That's not including office space, or the daily working and visiting population which is easily double that. Even Brooklyn has over 3x the density of Chicago and almost as many people. Its not Tokyo, but it sure as heck isn't Indianapolis, not even close...

Btw, we aren't ants. Quality of life is a thing and building density not to mention aesthetics and history are huge factors to the desirability and livability of the city. Go to Hong Kong if you want to live in a cage with 20 other people to a room in some modern-industrial neo-commie-block. You are basically picking on the only parts of the city with any actual character or beauty that anybody with a clue would want to live or visit and saying they should be destroyed because you ignorantly think that the most densely populated city in the country needs more housing density? Talk about artificial factors.

I've come up with a new notation Mark (http://marknotation.org/), to address some of issues faced with JSON and XML.

It keeps the simplicity of JSON, and is able to support mixed content at the same time.

At the moment, it leaves out namespace to the application.

Your sample in Mark would look like:

{concept attribute:year-published guid:"ba073188-8bd6-47a7-9065-eb55c4a8b908"}
}

what do you consider wasted time here?

sharing chores with my wife is some of the best quality time we get. better than watching a movie together or going out for dinner.

everyone is different here. for you it could be putting the kids to bed together, or something else.

your schedule atually looks fairly regular. it seems more like you feel that the day is to short and you look for more off time.

instead i'd try looking and improving the quality of the time you have together.

get up a few minutes earlier and make breakfast together.
take your wife to work for the night shift and pick her up in the morning.

but most importantly, learn to improvise. figure out things that you can do on a whim, without planning. be clear to yourself on what is actually important for you when you are together so that you can value that time even if it wasn't well organized.

I'm an avid urban cyclist. My preference is for you to behave the same way as if I'm driving a car. Pass me if you can. If you're alongside me, a gentle tap on my brake will get rid of you quickly enough. ;-)

I will admit to having a mildly "political" motive, in that I would like drivers to have a positive experience dealing with cyclists. So I'm probably more courteous than the bare minimum required by the traffic laws. I get out of the way if I'm backing up traffic, whether driving a car or riding my bike.

My general preference is to find routes where there's minimal car traffic.
Is your claim that good trade is not possible? I think in the 150 years since your examples there have been many positive examples of trade beneficial to both parties, and hardly any that are harmful, though there should be a handful.

For example, South Koreas economy, in a single persons lifetime, has grown 60x per person, inflation adjusted. An entire nation pulled out of poverty. https://tradingeconomics.com/south-korea/gdp-constant-prices

You can see that trade is a major part of their economy, currently around 80%: https://tradingeconomics.com/south-korea/trade-percent-of-gd...

You can look at their neighbor North Korea for a counter example, that has established hostile relations with most other countries and has a juche philosophy that frowns on trade.

Similarly, I find it awkward when creators email me about secret stuff only available to patrons. The magic is that your stuff is free! I don’t want to be incentivising this. The free content led me to donate in the first place.

Patreon defeats the purpose of Patreon.

Sure, but.. it does require downloading steam, which is a huge barrier to entry. As someone who's not a gamer, I've never downloaded Steam, which bars me from being exposed to all of it's content. That barrier also probably prohibits non-gamers such as myself from becoming ultra casual gamers. I'm sure the content is incredible, and I'd probably find it addicting. But heck, I can't be bothered into downloading steam.

I'd be interested to see how landing on a webpage with a game ready-to-go turns non-gamers such as myself into infrequent or even frequent gamers.

I would also argue that the ubiquity of the web is what makes games like agar.io and slither.io so popular, especially for kids. I remember being at techshop in SF and seeing kids rushing straight to their computers after school and opening slither.io and playing instantly. No friction. I'm sure that lends to their success.

The web is great!

From their "Grin for Bitcoiners" article [0]:

There are 3 main properties of Grin transactions that make them private:

- There are no addresses.
- There are no amounts.
- 2 transactions, one spending the other, can be merged in a block to form
only one, removing all intermediary information.

The 2 first properties mean that all transactions are indistinguishable from
one another. Unless you directly participated in the transaction, all inputs
and outputs look like random pieces of data (in lingo, they're all random
curve points).

Moreover, there are no more transactions in a block. A Grin block looks just
like one giant transaction and all original association between inputs and
outputs is lost.

So I think "No more amounts" is simply trying to say that the concept of a globally-accessible transaction on the blockchain with a verifiable transaction amount is now gone. Now it's just blocks, which can be many transactions coalesced together. From later on that page "It's as if when Alice gives money to Bob, and then Bob gives it all to Carol, Bob was never involved and his transaction is actually never even seen on the blockchain." It is not trying to say that this currency is not countable or something like that (how would that even work?)

I have never seen non-trivial Haskell that didn't enable at least 1 compiler extension. Laziness is difficult to reason about. Purity makes easy things hard in exchange for making hard things easy. You can't even make it through the standard library documentation without bumping into category theory.

> All humans are legally blind in their peripheral vision just a few degrees off-axis,

This is a misleading summary. Humans can’t read text or distinguish fine textures in peripheral vision, but peripheral vision is very good at detecting moving objects (that’s arguably its main purpose).

I like to think of peripheral vision as “prey vision” – as in, “what would I need to know about my environment if I were a deer and a wolf might jump out at me from any side, and my main response should be to run away as soon as possible?”

There are economic benefits to women and families. I think it’s fairly sensible to propose that the doubling of the supply of workforce has impacted the price paid for labor.

The old fashioned troops and notions that hurt women in the workforce hurt men outside of the workforce. Guys with wives who make more get a lot of grief. When problems happen, it’s nearly impossible for working age men or couples to get safety net benefits.
i know that feeling, it's like you are chasing after your friends, and need to put in energy to figure out when they are free because you don't already know their schedule.

i have a gut feeling though that if you don't already know the schedule of your friends, and (as you mentioned) you aren't comfortable to share your detailed schedule with them, then maybe they are not that close and you won't miss them if you don't see them every week.

if you do miss them, then pick one or two that you feel close enough to actually share your detailed schedule and let them help with coordinating with the others.

In India, rear view mirrors with a wider view have been available as "clip on" options for a long time. If those are made standard in cars (instead of as addons), the specific "blind spot" problem would instantly disappear. Many of these aren't even highly convex, and so don't create much of a distance perception problem.
For most families, the efficiency gained is a few thousand dollars a year max.

I think it would be a frequent occurence that ordinary people approached for whatever reason by members of intelligence community are suspected by these ordinary people to have a different role than their cover. When these ordinary people or sometimes targets proceed to google either the True Name or cover identity, it would seem like standard procedure to have an automated system immediately notify the agent that somebody is googling them, so they can make lessons about their poor tradecraft/cover/...

It would be pretty negligent toward both the individual agent and the organizational mission as a whole not to detect these events.

Since they are supposedly relatively frequent however (the web of lies gets ever more complicated, and different people pay attention to different details) those red flags would usually be ignored by other agents or datasharing allies, but as the person in question you would still prefer your journalist not to generate these red flags nonetheless..

She needs a full- or part-time job to keep her going. You probably need a couple of part-timers who would work for little money and 1%. Maybe even offer another .5% if they're willing to work without salary. That way, you're not taking on employees too soon (usually the biggest p&l item, by far), someone else can pay their benefits and they'll be less survival-stressed. In those early days, you need to every penny used efficiently to keep executing and stay alive.

Good point - though it has me wondering this: the equi-spaced grid is a case having a straightforward proof (given that Cantor did the heavy lifting), but is it a necessary condition?
It's not a strangely specific list if you look at the GOP platform in each Presidential election year from 1976 through 2016. Starting in 1980, at the conclusion of the national "ideological sort", the common thread of GOP policy goals has been:

1. Reduce taxes and simplify the tax code

2. Appoint federalist pro-life judges

3. Privatize federal programs that can be privatized

4. Devolve funding and authority to the states through block grants

5. Oppose gun control

6. Require a balanced budget, and cut spending to do it

7. Subsidize school choice

8. Reform and cut welfare

9. Reduce the influence of unions

10. Increase defense spending

I didn't make those up; I literally went to the UCSB Presidency Project for each of those 11 cycles and made a text file capturing the policy objectives of the GOP (several months ago, not just as a freaky obsessive response to your comment).

There are other policy items that come and go; for instance, in the 80s and early 90s, the GOP was the party of term limits. Starting in the 90s, they became the party of tort, liability, and malpractice reform. For a brief, sparkling moment, they were the party of guaranteed-issue private health insurance. But those 10 items are basically unchanged, and none of them are Democratic goals.

To your specific arguments:

1. Obama opposed privatization and expanded federal entitlements dramatically.

2. Obama increased several taxes, and increased the tax burden on upper-income families and in support of the ACA; those increases would have been starker had he not been held hostage by a united GOP legislature that, for instance, required him to extend some of the Bush tax cats in exchange for funding the government. Not to mention: his biggest cuts were part of the ARRA, which prevented a potential second Great Depression.

3. Obama did not appoint pro-life or federalist judges of any sort.

4. Obama presided over the implementation of Common Core, which dramatically increased the federal influence over K-12 education and made him the bête noire of conservative educational wonks.

So, no, President Obama was not a "good Republican President". Respectfully, I think you might basically have to not know what the Republican party has stood for for the last ~40 years to believe that.
> Unless there is a condition in the environment that causes a systemic failure involving large number of self-driving cars at the same time.

This happens all the time already: there is a condition in the environment (eg when it snows in Seattle) there is a systematic failure involving large numbers of people driven cars at the same time.

People just don’t have experience (erm, “training”) with the weird unusual environmental condition and fail to deal with it. Not surprising that computers would have similar problems.

> PS: Please don't insult your intelligence by replying that we don't understand how people drive either, so it makes any opaque self-driving software okay.

But we actually do know how well people drive. We have data on failure rates for sure. We don’t know how they drive, that is completely opaque.
In your own words you stated:

> It's not life altering in any way besides the fact that HSV2 has such a strong stigma <snip>...

It is potentially quite life-altering, and you may agree with me after you're over 60 years old. If you instead asserted "it hasn't been life-altering in any way so far besides..." then I wouldn't have replied at all.

Adding a persistent genital herpes outbreak to six months of shingles in old age qualifies as life-altering in my book.

Your comment comes across as if everyone should get over it and not exclude partners infected with genital herpes from their intimate lives, that this stigma exists just because it's associated with sex.

Nobody wants to be infected with any form of the herpes virus, the variants of which will cumulatively add life-altering complications when your immune system deteriorates. Genital herpes is appropriately highly stigmatized because it has the most potential for effective prevention through avoidance.

Choice of sexual partner is already culturally accepted as a highly discrimatory exercise, it basically goes unnoticed for the uninfected population to exclude those infected with genital herpes from their sex lives, it's not like the uninfected end up without sufficient available partners as a result. It has zero impact on their daily goings on. Compare that to the futility of stigmatizing Chickenpox however, the difference seems obvious.
