That's because you don't know what you're missing. Or, at least, that's what FB wants you to think.

FB is a vortex of dopamine hits, and zero 0⃣ value. It made me mad to be addicted to news I don't care about. I've manage to get myself out of that dopamine hit, and addicted to HN. But HN brings in some good information from time to time.

Concurrency is broader than just threads in a process. In your example, the whole problem is concurrent.
"No one is coercing anyone else" - in a way they are. As a software developer I don't think I have the choice not to use one of the big clouds. Protonmail and DDG I do use, but I can't use Hetzner instead of AWS or GCE if I want to remain competitive. (Offtopic: I am actually starting a new project and this is what I'm struggling with.)
Ouch, so many negative comments in this thread. I thought this sounded very interesting and was thinking about trying it, but it sounds like they need to improve a lot of things.
Alaskan black cod is da bomb. Way, way better than any other fish. And more sustainable than halibut and most other commercial fish, at present.
> Don’t focus too much on long-term plans.

I always have long-term plans. But, I abandon them as soon as I find a better way to achieve my goals. Goals do not change so often, tho.

> Find good thinkers and cold-call the ones you most admire.

I will change this to read, read a lot. If you are introverted or realise that this advice does not scale (millions of developers calling the same poor guy) books are your best option. The advice, teachings, etc. that someone will give to you personally probably are also part of their writing.

> Crowdsource your career decisions.

It is essential to get good friends that will tell you that you are wrong. And you need to listen.

> Be a pleasant person.

Always. :)

> Assign a high value to productivity over your whole lifespan

Yes. But, do not worry when you wast time. It happens, it is part of being human. If you regret each time "wasted" your life is going to be just regretted. Acknowledge that you did not do what you planned, adjust realistically.

> Don’t over-optimise things that aren’t your top priority.

Good enough is that "good enough".

> Read a lot and read things that people around you aren’t reading.

Yes. Look for the best book on each category and read those. Then go to a shop a read anything that gets your attention (Judge the next book you are going to read by its cover).

> Avoid stuff that could cause irreversible reputational harm, or slow down a security clearance.

Be a pleasant person. :)

> Reflect seriously on what problem to prioritise solving.

I do not agree with this one. To try to solve the heat death of the universe is an interesting thought experiment and abstract thinking is a good skill to have.

> Work to solve problems that aren’t popular.

I will change this one to solve problems that you care about and/or understand. There are billions of people on earth; anything you try to do someone else is already doing or did it in the past. Stop worrying and do what matters to you.

> Read more history.

Science, history, biology, literature, mathematics, culture, architecture, all books are your friends.

> Avoid spending time to earn or save money.

If you have the luxury, I saved most of the money I earned when I was young. That has allowed me to be free to make decisions that I would have not without money. Now that I have a good job, I prefer to pay than to spend money.

> I’m also pretty sceptical of ‘earning-to-give’ careers.

Do whatever motivates you.

> Find easy ways you can come across better.

Be a pleasant person. :)

> Find the biographies of people whose job you’d like to have, and figure out how they got there.

Do not. What worked 40 years ago, may not work nowadays. The realisation is that any job is achievable if you follow the correct career path. Being a billionaire is not a job description.

> Some jobs in government may be easier to get than you imagine.

Any job is achievable if you follow the correct career path.

> I think there might be an over-emphasis on ‘personal fit’ in effective altruism.

Be realistic but do not abandon too soon.
No. I want to setup my own like the same one as YC
well the whole 'product' is a net loss for humanity in long term and made the whole internet worse for everybody probably forever, so no tears shed for this a-hole
I really don't think the people in charge are that clever. What is happening here is a reaction to recent cases like this:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/liam-allan-met-p...

where a rape trial collapsed after text messages between the alleged victim and alleged attacker were "discovered" late in the process.

So this is an instance of "we have to do something" where the suggestion swings too far the other way. I assume after some debate we will settle on a sensible compromise position.
> The gasoline produced from carbon is then intended for burn...

If it's captured from the atmosphere and then burnt then surely it's zero-sum (apart from the energy cost of capture). Is this not better than releasing historically captured fossil fuels with a larger net increase in atmospheric levels?

If the capturing process is net-negative in terms of CO2 emmissions then perhaps we could invest in capturing more than we require for fuel - ie pull the CO2 out of the atmosphere and stockpile it in non-gaseous form. My experience is that people are willing to pay to clear their conscience and feel that they're making a positive climate change impact, but irrationally very resistant to changing their own behaviour.
It shouldn't be so hard to understand the problem.
Let me give you an example.
Apple develops a product with components that are doing the same thing as standard components that are ready available at the market. But instead of using those readily available components they make some twist on it just to ruin compatibility. Then they forbid the company that made that component to sell it to anyone but Apple. That basically gives Apple a monopoly on repairing the device. You talk about sourcing parts, but in this case no one can source parts except Apple unless they salvage parts from other devices which is not always viable.
Right, the philosophy is more about making it easy to DIY stuff and getting out of your way, rather than endlessly tacking on features and integrations.

I remember when Bluetooth first became a thing on phones people used use that for local chat (or just sending funny pictures). I kind of miss that about Bluetooth so I think this app idea is a stroke of genius.
AI and Architecture – An Experimental Perspective
But given the broad definition of AI and semiconductor design, however, and inclusion of other technologies like "Logistics" (seriously, the whole category, not a subfield) within emerging technologies list, wouldn't this, in practice, make whole companies no-go-zones for Chinese H1-Bs?

I can't see Intel or Applied Materials or even UPS having Chinese H1-Bs around in the future. While there are some here who wouldn't mind having a Chinese Exclusion Act in their industry, I'm hopeful a majority of voices here will see the problem inherent with moves like this.
I feel like an answer to this would depend largely on your age, background, and what you are looking to learn.

Most of my pain with python packaging comes from incompatible changes in the toolchain.

Some years ago, pip started distrusting HTTP mirrors, and while you could add some options to force it use HTTP, these options weren't present in previous pip versions. Which meant that you now had to provide options depending on the pip version -- which is harder if you don't call pip directly (for example through dh-virtaualenv).

We switched to HTTPS, but one with a TLS cert signed by a company-internal CA. Getting pip to trust another CA is non-obvious, and again depends on the pip version. So another version-dependent treatment necessary.

Then pip suddenly moved all of its implementation from pip.something to pip._internal.something, stating that it was documented all along that you shouldn't import anything from the pip.* namespace. But, the package names all didn't start with an underscore, so, by python convention, looked like perfectly fine public classes and methods.

Moreover there simply isn't any public API to do things you really don't want to reimplement yourself, like parsing `requirements.txt` files.

As soon as you want to do anything slightly non-standard with pip/distutils/setuptools, you find a solution pretty quickly, and that solution turns into a nightmare when you upgrade any of the components involved.

Also, finding a local pypi mirror that lets you inject your own packages and deals with wheels correctly and doesn't generally suck and is somewhat easy to use... not easy.
Your "not that hard" solutions don't solve the problem you answered to. You can't move a single (production) car out there with wires in the road, or by laying tracks.

Perhaps it's a bit harder then, after all?
Their redesign reminds a lot of google plus, which incidentally was used by many communities because it was convenient and relatively uncluttered.

i dont think people can get excited by this anymore though. Facebook is in a decline trajectory thats going to take a long time. The friends networks have become stale, and people are learning to move to other platforms. Like all other facebook's redesigns, this will create a massive backlash when it launches, but unlike previous times, it will most likely be seen as an excuse to quit the site.
If the FBI wasn't then NSA definitely was and then told the FBI.

Some buses need long range, such as that from Munich to Baku. That's not the common case: the common case is more like line 59 in Munich, whose route is about 14km long. A lot more people take the 59 to work than take the bus towards Baku.

Trucks: There are different kinds, but you can separate them into "ones that could be replaced by trains" and "ones that don't really need long range" and not be very wrong. There are exceptions, such as sparsely populated areas, but they're tautologically minor.

Planes: Need dense energy, sure.
Well “valuation” is just what the stock market thinks. Whether a business is sound is based on things like net income.

I think this national vs local police force thing needs a bit of explaining.

Years ago you could be speeding in one county, cross the county line (e.g. from Devon to Cornwall) and they wouldn't be able to catch you. The cop would have to back off at the 'border'. Or you could get a first offence caution, e.g. for drugs or shop-lifting in one county, then do the same offence in a different county and get another caution rather than be prosecuted properly.

Those days were over a long time ago, when computers arrived those gaps in the system went.

More recently the local stations have been closed with these local districts getting merged. The nearest cells might be in the big town twenty miles away rather than the local police station down the road. That might only have admin staff.

Then the police are now expected to follow everything up themselves using some tablet computer things they have been given. In the olden days someone back at the station would do all the follow up work contacting the victims of crime etc. Nowadays the constable who happens to be on the scene has to follow the incident up through to the end with a tablet computer instead of a team effort.

The government have chosen to make many cuts to the police force which is a little bit silly. The police are important for staying in power and any government needs them on their side. Cutting their pensions, making them work a not so local 'local' area with 'them and us' merger problems and undermining their effectiveness is just plain silly. If there was some type of Brexit related rebellion in the country then the police are no longer 'bought' enough to be guaranteed to always be on the side of government. It has got to that stage of pissing them off.

Anyway, the police are sadly quite underfunded and, as a consequence, there is nothing to fear from this new 'let's read your phone' ruling. The police have enough problems of their own.

Review of Controls for Certain Emerging Technologies (2018)
Maybe you can cover macros since they are conceptually very simple and very powerful.

They may seem a bit complex but are quite simple. Basically you just record your editing movements and play it back.

How macros work: press q x to record and q to end. Then repeat with @ x, where x is the name of the macro you want to use (you can have several macros). Anything you do will be played back. That's it... Conceptually simple.

A nice trick is to record a macro for a single line and place the cursor on the start of the next line at the end of the recording. This way it's possible to operate upon large blocks of text in a similar way by just repeating the macro. The key then is to use generic movements like "go to the beginning of line" (^), "go to the end of line" ($), "skip word" (w), etc.

As a silly toy example, if you have a list of strings in a text file, you can turn it into a list of quotes with (from the top of my head):

qx<Home>i"<Esc>$i<Right>",<Down><Home><Esc>q

(Record macro, go to beginning of line, insert mode, write a quote, exit insert mode, go to end of line, insert mode, move right, write a quote and a comma, move down to next line, move to the beginning of line, exit insert mode, end macro recording)

Then to process 100 lines, you'd do:

100@x

That turns these:

alpha
bravo
charlie
delta
...

into

"alpha",
"bravo",
"charlie",
"delta",
...

If you have hundreds of lines of that you'll start to appreciate the easy automation.

I use macros to do drive-by mass-edits without resorting to sed, scripting, regular expressions etc. since the cognitive load of those is higher for me.

Edit: formatting
I think your second quoted sentence is a perfectly fine attitude. You have to pick your fights and caring about every possible issue that may affect every possible person is a road down to insanity.

> an institution that is supposed to protect people under its jurisdiction

Sadly, that was a long time ago. Now they're a massively-under-resourced, under-manned "service" (they used to be the Police Force). From many UK citizens' experience, all we can hope for as victims of crime is to record the crime, get a crime number and wait for something to happen. Very sad, and increasingly dangerous...
> I always failed to understand what the "consciousness isn't local" can predict

It predicts that a human equipped with a non-local, non-materialistic mind (let’s call it "soul" for short) will behave differently from the same human without such a mind. He will, for example, write "I think therefore I am" where a soul-less (but otherwise materially equivalent human body) wouldn’t.

Now if you trace back the chain of events of this deviation, you will trace the movements of the hand (that wrote that sentence) to muscle movements. Muscle movements can be traced back to neural impulses, which can be traced back to the brain.

So, ultimately, non-materialism states that the brain of a soul-ful humain behaves differently from a soul-less human one.

In practice, it means that sometimes, neurons that should have fired (according to the laws of physics) don’t, and neurons that should have stayed at rest (according to the laws of physics) will fire. Those mismatches are first measurable manifestations of the immaterial mind ("soul") in the physical universe.

tl;dr: non-materialism predicts that there will be significant (greater in magnitude that thermal noise, at the very least) violations of the laws of physics (such as thermodynamics, chemistry and electromagnetism) in the brain.
> Debt resistance” groups in Britain, the United States and elsewhere argue that refusing to pay debts would spark discussion about alternatives to the global economic system.

I do agree. To save ourselves we must stop consumer capitalism in its rails first. Everything else (pseudo-market solutions, change to EVs, subdidising green technologies, forbiding plastic straws and plastic bags) does seem still to encourage overconsumption rather then moderation.

The problem is that no sane government wants to stop consumerism because it would dramatically impact its tax base.
The recommendation for arboreal permafrost is to remove all the trees because grassland tundra hard freezes easier than forests, and this is necessary to maintain soil stability in the summer months. And to do so, reintroducing large megafauna herds that destroy trees are necessary, potentially with a mammoth/elephant hybrid; or with logging.

Interestingly, large managed herds of grazing animals is a solution to grassland health for avoiding and reversing desertification.
> why campaigns keep making this mistake

Because it works. And because many other campaigns do it and nobody cares. Then in one random occasion suddenly it's a big drama. Who could have known before? Marketing agencies have been inventing divisive ad statements for ages.
> It doesn't particularly matter. Centralized clean energy production is often significantly easier to solve than figuring out clean alternatives to gasoline use. Especially when the problem with clean alternatives to gasoline is political - it's hard for the US to ban ICE engines in China, but it's significantly easier to sell them carbon-neutral gasoline.

Oh! Is THIS why we're going about this roundabout process? I couldn't understand why we'd want to spend a lot of effort and energy to inefficiently produce fuel, when we could just produce electricity directly.

Honestly, this comment section is the first place where I've seen this kind of thing discussed logically online.

Using hydrogen fuel cells as an example, everywhere else either
1. Misunderstands thermodynamics, and acts like e.g. producing hydrogen and oxygen from water would somehow result in free energy, or
2. Understands it's energy-negative, but don't explain what the actual benefits would be of storing and using the energy in that manner as opposed to any of the alternatives.

This is pure speculation. Configuration of continents has no affect on a warming ocean releasing large amounts of methane trapped as methane ice (methane clathrates).

You then set some arbitrary condition on us understanding the current configuration of continents and how that would interact with the release of methane clathrates based on warming. Sorry this is denialism mascarading as evidence-based requirements.
The analysis must be risk based - without requiring absolute certainty. Currently, scientific consensus is there is a risk of large releases of methane from melting Arctic sea ice.
