It's not that paranoid if you use AirBnB a lot. I have caught one owner spying on me with video, and so have some of my friends who use AirBnB as much as I do. It's easy for the owner to mentally justify the invasion of privacy with the excuse of protecting their property. When it happened to me I was on my way to a friend's wedding so I didn't want to get the police involved, but in hindsight I wish I had.

Thanks man. I have heard a lot of good words of laravel. Will definitely have some experiment with it.
> I think this notion that trying to help people, sacrificing yourself to help people was a sickness became very widespread, especially in the ’70s and ’80s under the better-known term codependency. It’s part of our now unconscious culture, the way we look at altruists. When we hear about them, many people think first, “Are they sick?”

I personally wouldn't go that far as calling a person "sick" for being extremely altruistic but it is generally well-known that gifts/free things are never really "free".

For a sociological view on gifts/altruism not being genuinely "free" there's Marcel Mauss's classic "The Gift" [1], while from personal experience I can tell that I used to be taught by both my peasant Eastern-European grand-mothers to never accept free stuff from our neighbors (like going to eat at their place or something similar), the reasoning being that those neighbors would most certainly want something in return at some point in the future.

In a similar vein there's this Seinfeld season 3 episode called "The Pen" [2], where Jerry accepts a "free" pen as a gift from one of his parents' neighbors and, obviously, that turns out not to have been the best idea.

Enjoy your to-be-discovered deadly viruses you got from such a transfusion. (I'm not joking, there might be undetected viruses that promote development of cancer and other diseases.)
I wouldn't. When the layoffs happen, be there for them, give them recommendations letters and whatnot and do what you are able to in order to help them.

Telling them will only make them anxious and displeased with the work, possibly having negative consequences for you as well. They are all adults and ready to hear bad news when they do happen, I think you are overestimating the issue as well, those things always happen in the dynamic economy we live Today.

Now, if you ask me if I would enjoy not telling them and keeping it for myself, probably not, but sometimes we must be strong to not make the situation worse than it is. It is an unconformable situation to be in, you need to remind yourself that. Also, it is only internet advice from me, you can take it if you want.
This is a good step but it should be a law that applies industry wide. The dark pattern of offering free trials and only mentioning it will start a recurring billing after the trial ends in tiny letters somewhere in the fine print or buried in T&C is outrageous. It should be illegal to do this. If you offer a 14 day free trial, you should stop service after 14 days and then require explicit consent from customer to start recurring billing (you can send email to the customer before the trial ends asking them to give consent to start billing after it ends but it should not be automatic).
A Chat with PixelMe
Last black Friday I bought multiple boxes of Lego City series as an investment. We will see how this goes.
When the Saturn V rocket Lego set came out a few years ago, I decided to try this "Lego collector" market. I bought and built (and now proudly display) one set, then bought and stored another in the back of a closet, inside the shipping box. Perfect condition, I figured, for when they stop selling it and it skyrockets in value.

They didn't stop selling it. I think they never will. I'm going to be storing this enormous box of Lego forever.

Still an amazing Lego set.
Thanks, man. That are some good reads.

Yes. This is the problem with this as an investment strategy for anything but hobbyists.

In addition; it would require quite a lot of labor to auction and send all these sets around, as well as paying for storage space. Something which is not accounted for in the 10-20% return figure.

> The psychological understanding is that objects are gathered in a futile attempt to fill emotional emptiness—piled up like a barricade to protect oneself against an uncertain future.

Ie, a theory is that increased loneness and lack of emotional connections with other people causes a raise in hording disorder. In a uncertain future we either need social connections to protect against the unknown, or we substitute it by building up a defense layer through objects. It is a survivor strategy that can become maladaptive.
My iPhone's screen time feature made me realize that the time spent on a device in and of itself is actually pointless without further context. When I started reading white papers on my daily commute, my screen time went up drastically yet that was a good thing.

When I became unhappy at work, I realized that also corresponded to a spike in screen time, generally in playing little free games. That's a problem, but increased screen time is only a symptom.

Invisible warning signs that predict your future health
I think the premise is the mouse studies made on the subject, for example:

"Young Blood Rejuvenates the Aging Brain"

> Previous studies have demonstrated that instilling young blood into an old rodent can rejuvenate peripheral tissues, such as liver and muscle, and can stimulate the birth of new nerve cells in the brain. The authors show that this method can also counteract age-related declines in learning and memory by activating specific signaling pathways in the hippocampus, a region of the brain involved in learning

[..]

> These experiments raise the fascinating possibility that transfusion of blood or specific bloodborne factors from young humans might rejuvenate the aged human brain.

> If you have any other ideas for forum admins to make their forum respect privacy better, I'm interested.

Tell the software vendor! They need to supply sane and private defaults, so that every admin who deploys an instance benefits automatically.

You could drive home the point by saying that if you were to run the software in the EU, it becomes a ticking time bomb and is an invitation for getting a forum admin into obnoxious manual cleaning work at best, legal trouble at worst.

True. Basically, the brine is just sea water with some of the water removed. Based on the numbers in TFA, 2.5L of sea water becomes 1.0L of fresh water and 1.5L of brine. And so the brine is just 67% more salty than the sea water was.

And it doesn't seem like diluting the brine with sea water before discharge would increase cost very much. From a 2010 presentation by Carlos Campos ("The Economics of Desalination for Various Uses") I get that seawater pumping and screening accounts for just 2-6% of the energy used in reverse osmosis.[0]

Computers and other devices with screens are massive double edged sword for kids growing up, it's a huge worry as a parent.

On the one hand, you can learn a huge amount of stuff just sitting there at home reading and following links. There are kids who've learned HFT level c++ sitting with a computer. (I worked with one). You can also learn a lot about just about anything else.

On the other hand, the same device can swallow your whole future via gamification. Social media and game designers have figured out how to make things so addictive kids get angry if you take it away from them. And you can't not have any online presence at all as a teenager, it's part of life now.

Hopefully I'll be able to navigate a happy medium.

No, even if everyone were right, that logic doesn't work, because interests simply aren't aligned.

This is a relatively cynical point of view and seems to assume that nobody cares about your CV. I think the main point if I can find it is that promotions can be simply a bargaining tool on the company's part and that it's your responsibility to make sure you're actually progressing in your own career, but treating all promotions as a trap seems a bit silly.

Doing interviews for practice is good advice if you're planning on looking for work in the near future but as someone who's happy with their job the idea of doing job interviews just for kicks is about the last thing I'd want to do with my free time.

Unfortunately I think the German bad actors would continue with their business as usual.

German companies like this prefer to treat recurring billing to a cancelled credit card as a delinquent account. They'll keep the service 'active' nominally, but refer payment to a collections agency ("Inkasso"), who will then send bills, threatening letters from lawyers, and bills for the threatening letters from lawyers. Worst of all, it seems like German law is a-ok with this practice.

If you start from terabytes of some of the highest quality orchestral recordings available, you have to work quite hard to make the output sound terrible.

It's a very nice demo piece, and vastly better than most of the NN efforts around.

But it still has the usual problem that it's sort-of-random orchestral wallpaper. Even if you create a workable grammar - by NN accident or design - you still have to solve the problem of intention and agency to generate music that isn't just mimicry or wallpaper.

I've heard some very, very good classical pastiche writing now - piano, chorales, orchestra - so it's essentially a solved problem technically.

Not so much artistically though.
