good to hear! But what about more suburban and rural costumers?

The chief advantage of telework is reducing living expenses. However, it's very difficult to reduce living expenses is you still need to live in cities or suburbs of larger cities to get reliable and good internet which is typically required for such jobs. My friend with 50GB cap satellite internet is certainly not going to work from home in the IT field.

These sound like hypnagogic hallucinations. I think they're pretty common, although the precise experience varies by individual.
Interesting. I've used a notepad++ "spellbook" of one-liners and useful commands (Cisco & Juniper especially).

What would this offer that a well-backed-up N++ doc doesn't? Sell me.
"underway" is a generous way to describe it. There's been no funding allocated, and there's no plans to allocate funding at the moment. There are studies underway, but there have been studies done dozens of times over decades.

Although there does seem to be some political support for getting it done this time.
(Going purely from my experience, so this might be anecdotal)

I wouldn't describe it as "mental images", but I certainly have mental representations. But these mental representations are about the 3d shape, the behavior, texture etc. Images on the other hand are not properties of an object, they are projections of 3d geometry into 2d space (with the added work of simulating light to properly shade the image). I suppose I would be decent at painting if I put the practice in it, but the idea of an actual mental image is foreign to me. For me, creating an image is basically a conscious translation task, and without a medium to record my progress I can't handle at best basic shapes.

Basically talking about images is no different to me than talking about textures, or the propagation of smells, or the orbits of planets.

I agree that people can get pretty tied to Disney and have seen it, but why does that impact your love for the things they own at all? People were fanatic about Star Wars before, but if Fox had put the same marketing power behind it as Disney does, would you felt the same? Or Marvel - had the parts of the MCU that Sony owns been bigger, would you like Spider-Man any less?
So that's where the name Ultima Thule [1] came from! I remember this book, and I remember stumbling upon the ending and coming to the same conclusion: The only way to get there is to break out of the storyline imposed by the author. A nice sophisticated bit of meta-narrative there.

>Your comparison between comprehending financial principles (which are “not hard” according to you) with comprehending driving a car tells me you are severely disconnected from regular folks.

People understand the concept of 'don't put all your eggs in one basket'. People understand the concept of 'no pain, no gain'. It is not difficult to apply these to stocks. This isn't about understanding accounting or understanding exactly how to measure the risk of a stock.

You don't need to understand physics to understand why a seat belt saves lives. You just need a very basic understanding of being ejected from a car. This isn't about getting them enough understanding to build a seat belt that saves lives, only about getting enough understanding to use the seat belt provided.

>The best I could do is try to lobby for laws that prevent attitudes like yours from applying regular people, because it would amount, quite literally, to preying on the incompetence of average workers who don’t have specialized financial decision making skills... which is largely what our whole banking and retirement systems are set up to do.

You will find that people do not like being treated as children and will avoid your regulations for the sake of making profit, often choosing far more unwise methods than the ones you are preventing. If your political stance is to treat adults, especially older adults nearing retirement as children, you will find yourself unable to enact any of the silly measures you think will help. We can't even get the elderly who no longer can safely drive vehicles to stop driving them, an action that puts the lives of innocents at risk. It will be taken, perhaps justly so, as trying to legally forbid the common methods from making a profit and forcing them to use worse options that will allow them to be taken advantage of, just like modern day pensions do.
I gave it up for 2019 -- I'm a social drinker, nothing bad, but I was liking my post-drinking sleep less and less. (It seems to have side effects on me in the aftermath even when I don't drink enough to actually get drunk... or I'm getting old... whichever...)

Several of my coworkers are either completely abstinent or the "don't like it will sip 5ml of this beer" type and I've seen firsthand it can be rough socially. I'm going to just ignore the haters mostly.
At a world level that's not what debt really is and that's not how debt is created. Debt isn't created by production/consumption. Debt is created by central banks + treasuries in today's world. In the past, people worked and created value and that produced money. Today, "the system" creates money ( or debt ) first and then society is expected to work to "pay it back". It truly is a form of quiet slavery, not based on race, but based on wealth and privilege.

You can say that debt is a liability for one party and an asset for the counterparty. But debt or bonds are also control. One party has control over the other. And more importantly, the more debt there is, the more power the people who control debt and who control interest rates have on governments, nations and the world.

If you look at debt through a narrow window, then it's just a simple ledger entry. If you realize what debt is and see it in relation with power and influence, things aren't so simple.
There is another interpretation.

That sadly, grad school has become potlicial and technical appitude doesn't matter. I have accrude a subantial number of high impact publications and can confirm this is the case. On numerous occasions I have been forced to hand over my completed work to facilitate first author publication for visiting scholars or students my Pi liked received co authorship, joint first authorship for no apparent reason.

I would also like to reverse this trend.

For the West Coast, the simplest solution is electric buses with dedicated lanes. Buses better serve the existing low density sprawl than trains. Lack of infrastructure is not the problem, the roads are already built. The real problem of course is lack of political will. Every road with two lanes gets at least one dedicated bus lane. Single occupant traffic would slow to a crawl making the buses faster. Buses would run on time because they have an empty lane. Additional bus routes would be added everywhere, paid for by significant increases to gas taxes. It would certainly work and be more efficient than our current mess, but of course would never be politically viable.
> It actually was a coincidence, as the practices leading inevitably to the current situation have been going on for decades.

It's true that the corruption within the MTA and TWU have been around for decades, but it's not true at all that it's a coincidence that everything started to go downhill as soon as Cuomo took office.

Cuomo literally does not believe that it is his job to oversee a statewide agency, despite the fact that every other governor - including his own father, when his father was governor - have taken on this responsibility.

Unsurprisingly, when the public official in charge absolves themselves of responsibility for holding the MTA and TWU accountable, things fall apart pretty quickly.
Providing the latest vehicles for people to try is expensive. It only really works if you make the money from selling them.
JWTs are useful, but there are a few things that are not immediately obvious.

1) They are signed not encrypted. Anything you put in there is public readable, unless you encrypt your token after you generate it

2) you can accept a range of encryption types, don't. Stick to one type and disallow any token that doesn't conform (this protects against people making their own tokens with 'None' as the signing algorithm)

I am surprised at how naive the JWT spec is. Why in this day an age is encryption a default for the _payload_? Also, why on earth is 'None' allowed as a signing algorithm? Thats just a cookie..
Thanks for the comment :)

Since it seems I left you with the impression that I don't like the story per se: That's not at all my problem with the game. Zelda's main story has been rather simplistic in every iteration anyway, and I don't see much worse in BotW. And, as you say, Zelda is actually not that much of a cardboard character this time (OOT only had her for the "damsel in distress part", it seems), which is great.

But that I don't get to experience it and just get to collect a montage of snapshots instead is exactly my point. That's just bad storytelling to me (basically a "reverse Half-Life": the videogame equivalent of show, don't tell).

But, as I said, the main story line is one thing. What bothers me more is that all the little stories you would find throughout the world in earlier versions are somehow... lost because of the "open world at all costs" approach the game takes. An earlier post in the thread mentioned The Witcher 3, which I think has tackled this problem much better. Its world is open, but you still get to discover interesting stories in a halfway guided way all over the place.

Another thing, since you point it out:

> The fact that your adventure takes place a hundred years after Ganon's victory removes the kind of fake urgency you often have in video games where you need to hurry!

Interestingly, for me, the effect here was a different one, too: I continuously kept wondering how this world could have kept working for so long. I mean, basically: The apocalypse happened (more or less), there's evil guardians and monsters everywhere, all went to ruin -- and yet, some little mountain village got over all that, no problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Kakariko seems really resilient in this regard, I had the same issue with OOT, too (but it's easier to believe it if we're only talking about 10 years).

Edit: Oh, and since you mention it:

> Even the boss fights, which Zelda games excel at, all feel quite similar.

Yes, that bugged me a lot, too. Basically, the intro-fight for each beast was way more interesting (or Molduga, for that matter). And I don't think they had to be this bland, even with the "orthogonal" dungeon design. That you're not supposed to have seen it all in sequence doesn't mean they can't have a "gimmick" like in the earlier games.

And, speaking of Molduga: This is one prime example of the storytelling I keep trying to articulate. That could have been an absolutely epic little storyline. But instead, all we get is someone in the Gerudo city telling you "get me its guts!".
> What will the technology be like in 20-40 years?

If history has taught us anything, it's that technological progress is orders of magnitude slower than people expect. The infrastructure of NYC, LA, Seattle, San Francisco, etc will not look much different in 2059 than it does today.

I think "modern" is more of an allusion to Modern Portfolio Theory, which has been around for decades, rather than trying to imply that modern = newer = better. Modern in this sense could loosely mean "after John Maynard Keynes died", or "Adam Smith never heard of it".

Modern Monetary Theory itself is a general economic theory, rather than an American monetary or fiscal policy position. The jury is still out on it, but it could suit countries like the US or maybe Switzerland, who have the right economic and currency conditions.
MMT is great.

> government debt is consumer surplus

You are referring to the Sectoral Balances Framework, which says that in aggregate, one sector's deficit is another sector's surplus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectoral_balances

The MMT response to "the world's debt is soaring" is that means "the world's assets are soaring" as well. Because every liability is someone else's asset. The question is, what kinds of assets are these? If we are talking about debt of governments with sovereign control of their currencies, this is a stable situation. But other kinds of debt could lead to a bubble popping and a financial crisis.
Wasn't the point of LTE (Long-Term Evolution) to prevent the need for articles like this? Based on 7 years on 4G/LTE with T-Mobile I rarely got good speeds fast enough to reliably steam HD video.

Comparing cost and speed to developing nations like Indonesia I clocked 50Mbps down using a $7 prepaid SIM card on a 4G network in a densely populated area near am international airport.

Why should the average consumer care about upgrades when it seems they're already not getting their money's worth for the service they already pay for?

You can reprogram the PCB in about 1 minute, the PCB is is perfectly align to the Jig and the test pins line up with the JTAG and you can program EEPROM, or EMMC it from the JTAG software.

Seeing Theory
I am very confused.
On one hand people give some credit to IQ yet fail to acknowledge it's not Europeans or American who have highest IQ but the East/Central Asians.

But people from Askenazi Jewish tribe posses even higher IQ.

No one really knows why high IQ originates in that region or specific tribe.

But it's them who made their way to America before Europeans.

Genetic research has proved that the native Americans are genetically Central Asians.

It's safe to assume IQ = superior ability to adapt to your environmental not intelligence.

It helped you survive genocide targeted at you orchestrated by one of most powerful regime of the time.

It helps you survive in the most difficult and diverse terrain.

It helps you walk through the frozen land into completely different climate and terrain, still manage to surive.

IQ is everything which helps you survive in your environment but it doesn't mean that high IQ people are capable of empathising with the large set of population with average IQ. Should these people whoes primary instinct is to surive at any cost themselves be given chance to thinks for others? No we don't think so.

So we shouldn't have high IQ people at top, we should actively select against them.

In modern word as you go farther from the mean, the benefit of IQ decreases till ofc we are hit by an apoclyspe you'll not be able to see what high IQ is capable of.

It's not worth programming at factory IMHO unless you have extremely high volume. On a small scale, firmware is the most likely thing you're going to cock up. Between the parts being programmed and arriving, you're one FW revision up potentially. Best to build a programming header into the design and load before packing. You can load test jig firmware in before as well then.

Also some bottom rung assemblers you don't want to trust with your production firmware!

For me, 200 boards:

1. JLCPCB board + parts + assembly service.
2. Final assembly (non placeable parts) yourself.
3. Load firmware in and test via own test/programming jig.
4. Pack and send.
I can confirm the sentiment although coming from another perspective. I was never interested much in video games because I would rather spend my time drawing.
Serverless is a solution in search of a problem.
Conclusion at the end is fairly brutal:

“The long and short of matters then is that based on the testing we've done thus far, it doesn't look like Coffee Lake Refresh recovers any of the performance the original Coffee Lake loses from the Meltdown and Spectre fixes. Coffee Lake was always less impacted than older architectures, but whatever performance hit it took remains in the Refresh CPU design.”
Let's change that to hope. You think Disney is not going to try another copyright law revision?

Actually hitting the vent was sadly too easy; maybe it was designed that way since the "hard part" was over.

Just point your guns down and rapid fire; if you missed it that way, it was almost a bug in the game. Strafing the vent was pretty much a guaranteed hit.

I disagree with your assertion that dynamic languages are easier to change. In my experience programs written in a typed language are much easier to change, because IDEs can exactly tell you how something interconnects (and thus where breaks might happen) and the compiler can give you some confidence that you didn't miss anything, or alternatively throw an error if you did miss something.

You can partially provide the same benefits in dynamic languages with tests, but at that point you're paying the same cost as with a type system.
I can only suggest his definition of cross platform may actually mean "works on iOS in compliance with Apple policies".

While those all will work well on major PC OSes and for the most part on Android devices, Apple's policies are quite strict about running compilers and interpreters on device last I checked. Meaning you need compiled code in some way, shape or form.
Thanks for sharing, really inspiring.

Gave up on that and taped the button over with black tape. No longer lit up, no longer pushable, not interesting to toddler.

> What if no-one had a mind's eye and Aphantasia is simply the lack of a delusion of a mind's eye.

The article proposes and falsifies a different hypothesis (that aphantasic subjects actually have a mind's eye but have the delusion that they don't) but the scientific argument is equally valid against this hypothesis. There is a difference in implicit behavior (in this case, priming during binocular rivalry), so the difference between aphantasic and non-aphantasic individuals seems to go deeper than metacognition.
Then you have the good fortune to be financially secure. I'm also from the UK and have held a decent job for a few years now, but I've lapsed into my overdraft on several occasions. Admittedly this was some times due to poor planning, but some times it was unavoidable.
Again, I'm actually a user, not a developer.

When developers update their apps, that's great! But for every developer Apple "forces" to make updates, there's a developer who decides to just target Electron instead, or an old app that simply breaks.
There's also Graphscad, which is a node-based interface for openscad. I only just learned about it myself, so haven't tried it yet, but it looks extremely cool to me!
