Hmmm. Personally I'm currently using Toggl: even though the backend is proprietary, the Mac tool is lightweight, well designed and, curiously, open source. However, I could use some divorce from proprietary services sucking up my detailed time records.

Could anyone please comment as to how Org-clock's recording interface compares to Toggl? Especially, can it respect me going afk and count it as a break after five minutes? Toggl has a great dialog for this, amounting to ‘stop or continue.’ As for the reporting side, I mostly need just a summary of my time-wasting achievements over a week.

I suppose that Org-clock doesn't leave the confines of Emacs itself? Which must limit its abilities in measuring the activity.

Hello shill!
Heh, interesting example.

I would have been weirded out by this specific ad, because when I worked at eBay one thing that got highlighted in a companywide announcement was that some executive had decided to stop running ads for eBay against google searches for "ebay", because that is obviously pointless. (And that this saved a ton of money on advertising without impacting traffic at all.)

With a result like that, I wouldn't have expected them to go back to advertising ebay.com on searches for "ebay".
Wow. What a impressively dumb "feature".

A lot of Chinese elites are financially inept, and that is not limited to only ones who were born before seventies.

That twisted version of financial "science" was born during China's nineties, out of numerous "get rich quick" schemes, and is now being taught as "the new truth" in reputable Chinese business schools.

The few companies from that era that managed to miraculously survive and turn into more or less normal profitable enterprises were then labelled as "examples to emulate," to disastrous results...

Lenovo (a huge real estate player in China,) HNA, Wanda, Oceanwide-Minsheng, Guotai Junan, Poly, Fosun, Pingan... all built along the same template: ridiculous real estate investments as a collateral for equally ridiculous loans on which the rest of their group companies run.
> Sure, it's a long-term behavioral trait that typically doesn't change; but I wouldn't call that a part of who somebody is

This seems like an excellent definition of "who somebody is"

> any more than (say) an intense fear of spiders is a part of who somebody is.

That, too, is definitely part of who somebody is. It is, eg, exactly the kind of trait used in novels or movies to convey something about a character. And it's something that others would notice and use to describe you in ordinary life.

How is that not part of who you are?
You have accurately described the current state of affairs.

There have been a lot of unexpected knock-on effects. Among other things, it means Californian budgets swing wildly according to how well the local economy is doing. Another is strongly encouraging the permitting of offices over residences, further contributing to an already painfully low supply of housing.
> That's why you can have multitudes of wildly conflicting theories and schools of psychotherapy, where most of them work to achieve the goal of wellbeing, but none of which achieve understanding of how human brain works.

There's not yet a Wikipedia page for "Computational Psychiatry". I guess that very definable category of psychiatry doesn't like to publish.

Are transference and countertransference of traits like extraversion a result of the (indeed widely varying) therapeutic methods or the result of just spending some quality time together rewarding self-focus and insight?

There may be some quantifiable rejections of guesstulative models of cognition (and personality!) available due to advances in neuroimaging which are enabling computational neuroscience (which does have a Wikipedia page for it)

Computational neuroscience:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_neuroscience

> Computational neuroscience (also known as theoretical neuroscience or mathematical neuroscience) is a branch of neuroscience which employs mathematical models, theoretical analysis and abstractions of the brain to understand the principles that govern the development, structure, physiology and cognitive abilities of the nervous system.

He explicitly states why, so it's weird that it shocks you. ;)
It's worth noting that his bandwidth is only 2MHz on his SDR so this will require a lot of manual testing and tweaking for good EMI/EMC results. It might be useful for crosstalk but a directional probe would be better for that because you can account for trace alignment. A directional probe can be made in much the same way as his loop probe, but will be a mono-pole design and will probably require an amplifier.
Of course, but how do you "fairly" account for that? You could teach the computer what the "meta" looks like, but players never reveal full deck contents to each other in tournament play.

Also, how does the AI select its deck? Does the player know going in what deck it will be playing? Part of the problem here is that you can build a weird, off meta deck for either the AI or player that can win a single game but what does that mean? Most decks are designed for a full tournament grind based on an expected range of decks to play against.

I guess you'd have to have the AI compete in a full tournament, but then the skill level of the individual players becomes a variable. IDK, it just seems like a really big hill to climb.

Helmets? That's interesting; I tend to open the visor a bit when at a stop, it gets really warm in there really fast. I know you shouldn't try to take off a helmet in case of an accident, but is opening the visor at least okay?
I've changed my personality a few times. Twice purposefully, that I know of.

First time, having exhausted all other ideas for improvement, I decided to fake being happy, using ridiculously positive words for every situation. "How are you today?" "Phenomenal!" While initially it was kinda sarcastic, at some point it became sincere. Roughly three years later, I woke up one day said "Phenomenal!" to myself, and was surprised that I meant it. The change was so slow, subtle, I didn't sense the transition.

Years later, I found the book How You Talk Changes How You Think. So apparently I'm not the only person with this experience. Also, I had read up about social cognition (swarm intelligence), how we learn from each other. At the time, there was some research showing that we individuals conform and change our minds without realizing it or any memory of it. (Scary!)

Second time, I ran for public office. I usually play to win, regardless of the odds. So I decided to become like the winners. I changed my outward personality. How I stand, smile, eye contact, etc. I stopped swearing (vulgarity). I learned to how to do small talk, vague noncommitmental positive agreement. (eg "Wow, that's a great idea, tell me more.", per Guy Kawasaki per Jean-Louis Gassée). I met thousands of people. And, frankly, in the aftermath, the experience completely converted from an extrovert into an introvert.

I've also changed personalty a few times unwillingly.

I was proscribed high dosage prednisone & cyclosporine for years. They made me insane. Suicidal. Mania. Super erratic. It took me years to "detox", become psychologically normal.

I had a very rough childhood. I remember being loving and affectionate as a toddler. But I became angry, distrustful and distant.

So. All these wild swings of personality. I honestly don't know who am I. When I try to describe myself (dating profiles), I can only describe how I think I behave, at this time. Is that accurate? Stable? No idea. I also don't know how much aging and experience factor in.

And I don't know where the lines are between personality, character, and daily behavior.

If I could travel back in time, I'd love to be able to administer myself personality assessments over time, maybe chart the changes.
And you know what? Nothing's changed in 30 years.
So keep watching the news and get worked up over everything!
See, that would make sense if it was something like 'our system must have 99.9% uptime'. But to say it cannot have any downtime, at the same time as our releases requiring us to take it down during the release, and at the same time the business contracts allowing for downtime for releases, means that the NFRs do not have any realistic requirements and are thus useless.

It's like saying mobile devices must be supported. Does that mean only top of the line recent releases? Does that mean 8 year old smartphones? Does that mean the internet browser on the Nintendo DS?

> The underlying value of the dollar isn't so badly effected because bank robberies happen

Since you and a number of other sibling comments have raised this point: This comparison is poor.

There are tens of thousands (probably even hundreds of thousands) of banks worldwide, each of which hold only a literally trivial fraction of their assets in (robbable) cash.

That's why bank robberies don't matter.

In contrast to that, a substantial fraction of total Bitcoin transactions are handled by just a handful of exchanges, each of which have a substantial amount of their assets in hackable digital form.

Bank of America has $2.34 trillion dollars in assets. If they had that in robbable cash, in one place, then it's safe to say bank robberies would matter.

Edit: My number of banks worldwide is way off as I was thinking in terms of banking licenses, whereas for bank robberies, it's the physical branches that should be counted. In that case, there are about 80.000 banks in the U.S. alone.
While I'm frustrated at this, I'm wondering if what I'm feeling is a knee-jerk reaction.

If someone isn't quite ready for org-mode, but wants to try a lightweight todo list (and more) with some powerful features, there's the todo.txt format, which works with a variety of tools. (Or you might use org-mode for work projects, but todo.txt for personal.)

http://todotxt.org/

There are many programs that support todo.txt, including multiple Emacs modes.

For one of the Emacs modes, I have a few tweaks to the format and Emacs that let me use it as a lightweight todo list, calendar, and day planner.

I'm surprised that SRI (sub resource integrity) isn't mentioned, though it does require HTML changes. It makes you embed SHA-2 hashes into your CSS and/or JS tags, and if the given hash doesn't match the received resource's hash, the resource isn't applied to the page. It protects you (for example) from your CDN changing your data.

Also, no mention of E-tags. They help with caching.

It's only from a very high-level view that these languages might look all the same. If you look at how the languages actually evolved, there are crucial differences.

Swift basically exists due to Apple's need for Objective C compatibility. What other language would serve that need? Similarly, Kotlin was easy to adopt for Android due to Java compatibility. Rust is designed to interoperate well with C++, which is useful within Firefox. Go was designed for fast compilation and easier library evolution for server-side code in a Google-scale monorepo. Dart was designed as a browser scripting language (though this didn't work out).

There was nobody in a position to prevent all this evolution from happening.
Audiobookbuilder is nice, but commercial and only available on MacOS... Another open source alternative is Audiobook Binder (http://bluezbox.com/audiobookbinder.html) - which is good and also comes with a command line utility, but it hat some GUI issues and is only available for MacOS.

Another german project for Windows is http://www.audiobookcreator.de/, which works, but it also did not fit my needs - i prefer auto command line merge instead of manual GUI interaction
They are all ethicall, it's just might not have the same ethics as you. Ethics is relative afterall.
I started taking cold showers in the morning about two months ago to practice this exact thing.

After about a week, you sort of learn to neutralize the feeling of being cold as just that, a feeling. And a temporary one.

It’s a good reminder for other “negative” feelings, and something I can point my brain to with other emotions I don’t like, anger, anxiety, etc. They all pass fairly quick the less I dwell on them.
Societies that have draconian punishment for minor infractions tend to take the view that their punishment is fitting and proportional because it's much harder to steal stuff without hands.

Where is gets interesting is when they take a hard-line stance on some things but not on others. Like you get a slap on the wrist for theft from another commoner but if you're caught stealing fish from the lord's stream without the proper license you're strung up by your thumbs in some castle dungeon for a month.
Actually, you are in a better boat with Stripe.

With PayPal, a customer can easily request a full refund without contacting the seller. With Stripe, they have to go to their bank and try to make a case for fraud.

I used to have PayPal for my shed business which has an average of $4k for the transaction. A customer would order using PayPal and then call the next day to arrange immediate delivery, despite my store telling them we were backordered. They would get angry when I explained that, and request the refund. We got hit with fees both ways.
He's kinda right. Many exchanges use other exchanges to provide liquidity on their exchange, either directly or through users who perform arbitrage. That's how bitfinex started for example, they partnered with Bistamp and used their book to fill in theirs. Nowadays, it can happen with DEX'es on the protocol level too - eg, Kyber Network taps into the liquidity provided by Uniswap (hey, keyber is a liquidity network after all. Disclosure: don't own any Kyber tokens)
Ah, I see what you mean. I was thinking in terms of union'ing and the like where you can use set theory to compose sets of information from various queries.

"The effect you’re seeing currently is due to an immature currency market which has never been held to the same standard as our fiat currency market."

I don't think immature is the right word even though you're right about other point. The regular system has a lot of regulations, security, and so on to reduce repeating and some big risks. The cryptocurrency community lacks most of that. The reason they do is philosophical: they believe their own decentralized protocols and individual activities are better than [de-]centralized, government-regulated, traditional activities. The hacks are a logical consequence of people with that false belief doing things that logically follow from it. And don't work.

They'd have been better off making a multinational, public-benefit corps with charters and contracts having tons of protections built in.
With a low definition video that's probably challenging. Maybe it's possible to assert correct physics happening. To my knowledge at least 5-10 years ago Quantum Chromodynamics simulations were so prohibitively expensive that they were simulated on 20x20x20 ("pixel") grids. There aren't that many studies about (boring) Newtonian mechanics but even that provides its complexity challenges. Same holds probably true for most liquids.

> $1 Billion stolen from a Bangladeshi Bank

No. Most of it never went out, and much of what did was recovered.

"The Federal Reserve Bank of New York blocked the remaining thirty transactions, amounting to $850 million, due to suspicions raised by a misspelled instruction. All the money transferred to Sri Lanka has since been recovered. However, as of 2018 only around $18 million of the $81 million transferred to the Philippines has been recovered."
Bitcoin is not well adapted for the technologically unsavy. By design, centralized exchanges should not be used for treating in Bitcoin. However, since Bitcoin does not support trading in the order of seconds, or other features necessary for speculation, like margin positions, speculators use centralized exchanges. They are aware of the subpar regulation and security standards in the industry and take the risk. Again though, this has nothing to do with casual users of the currency, they shouldn't be using centralized exchanges.

The best, to my knowledge, decentralized anonymous crypto exchange is bisq [0].

The "unable to recover" feature is central to Bitcoin by design, because that way it cannot be censured or otherwise manipulated by non-majority actors.

To finish, Bitcoin is not the most technically sound cryptocurrency around. It is a historically pivotal idea and implementation, but it's details are not the future of cryptocurrencies.

You could level the same criticism at the information age entirely.

People are pwned every day. Leaked passwords, leaked photos, leaked sensitive information, trivial fraud, identity theft, social engineering so easy that you can get into a website's AWS account with its WHOIS information. No need to focus on hobby projects: the government and mature corporations get pwned and leak your data, too. It's a massive clusterfuck.

As described with those numbers, it is clear that Indian nationals are especially favored, not discriminated against as was claimed. Thus the complaint is really that India, favored above all other nations, is not favored enough. Same chance at green cards as other countries, and massively more chance at H1B, utilizing 50% of all slots, and therefore more than any other nation.

If one wishes to establish a balance between H1Bs and Green Cards on a per nation basis, the H1Bs could likewise be limited on a per-country basis, matching that of the Green Card allocation.

This is useful when you fail your EMC testing. You have a baseline measurement and you're looking at relative change. For example you may have be over the limit by 6dB at 430 MHz. You would take a reading using this setup, and normalize it against your lab plot.

You then try a number of fixes, and take readings using this setup. It is easy to determine if you're close to 6dB drop that you need.
