The Fundamentalists (Two roommates in LA, a philosopher and a comedian.) Why? A little bit of Freudian outlook on life is super useful. Especially good if you too have Religion Issues.

The Ezra Klein Show (His recent one with Kate Manne was stellar.) Why? Several feel like they've really changed how I think about things.

Pete Holmes' You Made it Weird (You'll need to pick and choose. Try the recent Conner Habib one, or Penn Jillette. Or anyone you're interested in.) Why? On his podcast, Pete's schtick is that he dives right in and asks people about God, and beliefs, etc. It's enlightening to hear people's experiences and journeys.

Just for fun:

The Adventure Zone (start from the beginning, and give them a couple of episodes to stop being juvenile idiots). Why? It's inspiring to see people going all-in on creativity and have it pay off, and their family dynamic is so kind yet hilarious.

Is the implication here that even after going all the way up to the CEO, Vodafone still only fixed it because of your association with your company?
True. Both for the importance of Google Scholar, but also the question of integration .

One way of course, is using your internal memory. But it's rather limited. Unless you're buffet like.

But what about creating an external memory ? Maybe not as usefull as your brain, but much more usefull than Googling ?

I've tried to do so with evernote. It somewhat work. But surely , it's not the person best that's possible.
That's true. Dan Carlin makes unfounded conclusions from time to time, which you do need to take with a grain of salt. However, he is very upfront with his admission that he is not a professional historian.
> but having a baby means you are dumping 5 shitty diapers a day for first few months

There might be something wrong with your baby, or maybe you have babies? When I had my first child I naively thought they shit all the time (like all day - I was an idiot). In reality, they typically shit once a day (like us!), so maybe 5 total diapers, but not all are shit filled.

Site note: We used cloth diapers for both our children and urine (that's been sitting in a diaper pale) is by far worse than shit smell.
Most kids in the UK don't need to know multiplication to get their basics fulfilled either. Most of schooling is about preparing them for the future, not for the present. But some will benefit sooner, and you can't always tell which ones.
> that the education of women doesn't have as big an effect

It's likely because it's not actually about education, but about social hierarchy of women. And education may or may not move them up the ladder in each particular hierarchy. Having children usually does though. But it's still a hierarchy and it can be influenced.

Ask HN: Which self-hosted tool for team-based communication with topics/threads
Hey!
Looking into establishing a new communication tool for our company.

While Slack and Mattermost are great for chats in small teams, it's hard to keep up with things, when you're a larger team or been out of house for some days or several ideas are discussed in parallel and so on. People just feel overwhelmed or have the feeling of not knowing everything they should.

So I found twist.com which integrates "topics" and thread-like display of those topics and I think this is an interesting addition to what Slack/Mattermost do.

As this tool would hold internal information, it needs to be self-hosted. On the other hand, it also should be similar to twist in terms of topics and threads, so Mattermost does not really fulfill what we need.

I already thought about setting up a phpBB or something like that, but maybe anyone of you got a good idea what I should look at.

Thanks!

- The Dave Ramsey Show: Dave is not for everyone, for one he is an absolutist and is very religious and politically conservative, but his advice is very simple when it comes to personal finance and provided a solid base for me to learn more about the fundamentals of personal finance. Plus his callers are a great deterrent from doing stupid things with money.

- Marketplace w/ Kai Rysdall: Pound for pound the best economics podcast out there, does a really good job with balancing micro and macro economic trends.

Trust me, most of the software engineering world in real life is nothing like Big N and elite startups. Silicon Valley is a weirdness magnet that's not representative of the rest of the country.

I was unaware of this additional advantage he has.

Reading up on floats it seems they are the money his insurance companies receive from premiums that has yet to get paid out in claims. Essentially a reserve that can be invested. Since they have a large scale of customers, this float ends up being rather high.

I'm wondering how much trouble an insurance company of smaller scale would get into if they used their float in such a manner but then ended up needing that money due to some natural disaster. Is this type of risk betting money you technically don't own similar to the 2008 housing crisis or the often talked about 1930's issue with everyone wanting to take their money out of the market?

Around 2 years ago I subscribed to the audio edition of the economist. Now, I have no time for podcasts but absolutely LOVE the economist and cannot recommend it enough.
We have a Fischer & Paykel vent hood, which we bought while renovating our kitchen specifically because of its advertised low noise level. It sounds like a jet engine revving up whenever it's running, even on the lowest setting. F&P sent out two technicians in succession, both of whom confirm (as registered, for example, by a decibel meter on our phone) that it's about 70% louder than advertised, even on its lowest setting; and then they straight up lied on their reports, saying (in so many words) that we were imagining the noise, or merely that we were 'dissatisfied'. Months in, and the only resolution we've got is that they've offered to give us a discount on another vent hood—which, presumably, also won't perform to specifications ….

There's got to be some reliable form of—excuse my optimism; I'm sure there isn't, but there should be some reliable form of redress for a product that simply, in a documented fashion, doesn't perform up to specifications. Companies advertise what they feel like without fear, because they don't experience repercussions for this false advertising.

Agreed, this is what I strive for but rarely do it in practice. Somehow, you are always in a hurry, you always want the solution now!.

Sam Harris's - Waking Up. I have gotten the most amazing book recommendations from his guests!

Joe Rogan - he generates a lot of content I do not care about but his interviews like Billy Corgan, Elon Musk, Sam Harris, etc are some of the best on the internet. (Bonus - you can watch them on youtube also)

I dont like Ezra Klein's podcast (I think he comes off as a pretentious know-it-all), but I do like that he asks every guest for 3 book recommendations, so I almost always skip to the end to write those down too.

Medallions have always been regulated and restricted, not to benefit an asset owning class of rent seekers (that was a side effect), but to prevent the narrow, constricted island of Manhattan from choking on gridlock. Lyft and Uber essentially abused a loophole and caused traffic speeds to decline in the core.

Congestion pricing with a fee on all yellow & black car rides for origin and destination within CBD would be the best way other than a cap to regulate this, but that is still quite the political lift due to the windshield perspective of the city’s and state’s politicians.
Since IoT is somewhat less tied to existing architectures, it's not completely out of the question that somebody could produce a microcontroller that keeps separate stacks for return addresses and function arguments/results. If the former stack is not directly modifiable, that removes most of the need for ASLR.

Rogan is really good with a certain type of guests but he seems to fail with a lot of business guys. His interview with jack Dorsey was just terrible. He also let Lance Armstrong get away with a lot of whining about how jealous people were after him.

But in general I like Rogan a lot. You just have to accept that he is a curious guy that sometimes doesn’t have much background in the topic they are talking about.

The article is pretty clear that the author thinks that the code should have been written correctly to begin with. It's the fact that management prevented this from happening that causes people to have to fix the code.

The Weeds, by Vox, and Why is This Happening, by MSNBC. Both of them take an hour to explore one topic, usually related to politics or a cultural moment. But it's not just a summary of recent news; they go back into history and provide context from different sides of an issue.

They're staffed by people who are well read and bring much needed nuance to a lot of discussions. I learn something fascinating every time

As far as I'm aware (I'm not exactly central to our information security processes), it is more of the latter.

Due to the amount of electric power we control, we, as a company, have been deemed critical infrastructure by the state and as such, we have to comply with rather rigorous information security standards.

We do, however, also have an uninterruptible power supply for the most critical hardware.

It doesn't help that the majority of 'US customer service' isn't actually located in the USA but outsourced overseas. The Philipines handles a lot of T-Mobile and Verizon's customer service calls.

HAMs did the same thing in the 60s, decoding Soviet communications coming from the moon, which were the first closeup images of the surface at the time.

But in Europe we have stronger customer protection laws: if something doesn't work as advertised you have 1-3 years (depending on the country) to bring it back to whoever sold it to you. Then it's their problem to deal with the manufacturer.

No other podcast has helped shape my humor and general positive outlook on life. I know that a lot of the fans of the podcasts fall into the trap of just repeating the jokes and phrases from the podcast over and over, but if you avoid doing that you'll hopefully find you humor being more cheery and light-hearted than it was before. The brothers all seem like genuinely good dudes who try their best to be as good as they can be. Their related podcasts are good too. The Adventure Zone is a great (comedy) DnD podcast (now on other TTRPGs) that they play with their dad. Despite the controversy around the other host, Cool Games Inc. was a surrealist humor podcasts about riffing on game ideas submitted by listeners. There are many more, and most of them are solid.
