It touches on the connections between mindfulness and modern understanding of the mind. Most important, it talks about this problem, that you are not aware of the amout of decisions and input/output data is hidden from you, and how much of your life is narrating outcomes, rather than deciding them.

Fascinating stuff. Makes me feel like a batch of hidden layers struggling for consensus with one tiny human-interaction module that tells a consistent story about why certain outputs are weighted, and that story is called "free will and personality".

iOS planned?
Thanks! Simple is definitely what we were aiming for.
A carbon tax that pays out via something like a basic income, should incentivize low-carbon consumption, without being regressive.
I’ve been using opendns but iOS doesn’t let you set dns for your cell connection and for WiFi it has to be set once per network. cloudflare 1.1.1.1 was nice in that the app set up a vpn with the dns so that it works on all connections. But they don’t give you control over dns, blacklists etc. this is the control of opendns with the convenience of the vpn app.

That link says “physical” money right at the top. Ignoring that it’s a wild guess, it’s barely even related to the sum total financial wealth of the world.

Wikipedia lists over 300 trillion in global wealth, and people on Quora suggest it’s actually over 1 quadrillion. So 10 trillion isn’t more than 3% of global wealth, and might be less than 1%.

Yes, this does seem like it's closely related to a habit you develop through meditation. However, the "self-distancing" seems worse to me than meditation, since it seems to advocate taking a distance from the "true self" of feelings and thoughts. Meditation encourages the [better]route of recognizing that feelings and thoughts are not parts of your true self at all.

Yes, I use checkvist. ANYTHING I find mildly interesting goes into this list. This is great for when I come to something that I need to research or want to start going deep into; when this happens I've already accumulated dozens of links and bits of data to follow up with. As of the time of writing this, I have over 6000 unique links or bits of info. It's all organized by fairly arbitrary naming that I sometimes change.

E.g. my top levels are:
- server administration
- networking
- programming
- telephony

I don't understand why any privacy conscious person would choose a hosted service instead of self-hosting your own solution.

Implementing the whole thing (modulo the anycast IP, which is the only thing I did not use) is easy. I have a docker-compose file which does the whole stack:

1. Unbound DNS which provides DNS-over-TLS service at port 853. It forward request to my local pihole's 53 port.
2. Pihole forward request to my Stubby DNS server.
3. Stubby connects to Google DNS over DNS-over-TLS.
4. A separate docker container to run certbot to update certificate used by the unbound container.
5. A separate docker container with Pomerium as reverse proxy so I can remote access PiHole UI.

Then you can configure your Android phone to use your unbound DNS server as the "private DNS" server. I've being using this setup for more than a month and works really well.

UPDATE: I posted my docker-compose.yaml file at https://github.com/yegle/your-dns. I'll update the README soon.
The service is free during beta, then freemium with low pricing tiers (something like free up to 500,000 DNS queries a month, then $0.99/month). We will tweak later based on actual costs at scale, but it will follow this logic.

Selling data is against what we believe in and would also be counter-productive (everybody would stop using the service instantly).

Well, yes, colonialism is a major issue in the modern history of China; China acts like a colonizer towards its border territories. There's something fascist about ethnic cleansing, about re-education camps, about disappearing citizens without habeas corpus, about killing religious prisoners and harvesting their organs.

We can have both truths; it can both be true that China suffered greatly under British colonialism, and also be true that China is committing dire human rights violations which, to the degree that they further a Han Chinese ethnostate, are fascist. Tibetans, Uighurs, and indeed the people of Hong Kong are suffering under China's policies.
Imagine a country like China being upset about hypocricy and protectionism.

Don’t assume anything about an autistic person.

This is probably valid advise for anyone about anyone else.

Otherwise the author seems to be scolding the world for their misconceptions about the autism spectrum. My impression about people staking a claim about being somewhat autistic is that normal people often see shared traits as a point of friendly commonality which is important for their social sense.

Is there harm in that? Maybe it would be better if people knew more. But is it more harmful for the non-autistic population to feel they have nothing in common with autistic people?

The systemic solution is to continue and increase development and build of wind and solar which will continue almost without limit onto the oceans, assisted by autonomous equipment.. and build fuel synthesis and electric storage. Energy will be abundant within a few decades.

And plant forests, ecologically improved agriculture and use wood and sustainable biophilic materials where possible (all large wind turbine blades are currently almost entirely made of balsawood)

Also, a global alliance against military aggression, space industry for asteroid mining, lagrange point sun shielding if necessary. Promotion of therapeutic professions, reduction in accounting labor and financial wizardy to be replaced by modern informational and analytic technologies. Promotion of aspirations other than car driving and land ownership. Secure living spaces for everyone who seeks them and commits to respecting them. Quality of life guided by things which are actually known to improve quality of life, like education, recreation, arts, community spaces, rather than the psychologically marketed consumables which currently divert economies and fantasies ...

A bright future is very complicated and challenging to envisage, but no moreso really than any particular gloomy one :)

No real reason for using Python 2 — it was just an expedient choice in the moment.

Amusingly, your tumblelog.py is about the same size as dercuano.py, while the intersection of features is almost exactly empty. We managed to do even the most basic things differently — for example, yours reads a single long file with % lines separating the entries (like a fortune file!) and produces a passel of output files, while mine reads a passel of input files and produces a single multi-megabyte output file. This diversity of choices perhaps demonstrates the need for experimentation to see what works best for different people and in different circumstances. (Or it could just mean I'm insane.)

patio11, I have a bunch of questions about Stripe Atlas (sorry that this is long):

- Should a subsidiary of a foreign company be an LLC or C Corp? I've read https://stripe.com/atlas/guides/llc-vs-c-corp and if I were to own the company directly, I certainly would go for a C Corp to avoid having to report the company's taxes on my personal U.S. tax returns. But it's not clear to me whether it's better for a subsidiary to be an LLC or C Corp. (I'm leaning towards C Corp, but don't want to miss out on any benefits of having the subsidiary be an LLC.)

- Can I transfer 100% of my U.S. subsidiary's revenue to the foreign parent company, and write off the entirety of that amount as a business expense? So, my U.S. subsidiary's income would be zero, with everything that was repatriated to the parent company subtracted as a fully deductible business expense. Is this okay under U.S. tax law? Or would this be considered tax evasion? (Would the U.S. company even have to file a state or federal income tax return, since its income after business expense deductions is zero?)

(Note: The sole reason I want a U.S. company via Stripe Atlas is because Stripe is the best payment gateway out there. It makes receiving money from customers a lot easier, which is to put lightly, quite important.)

- If I directly own a C Corp, will I ever have to report anything connected to it on my personal U.S. tax returns? (I assume with a subsidiary I never would have to.) Also, will Stripe ask me to disclose my U.S. Social Security number, or would a foreign passport be sufficient? And, does Stripe Atlas transmit any data on company ownership to the federal government? Since temporary work/other visa holders are prohibited from running a startup on the side, there can't be anything (that's discoverable by the Dept of Homeland Security) tying me to the U.S. company. (It's just that people have been deported for selling apps, receiving ad revenue, among other things: https://www.murthy.com/2014/01/28/home-based-businesses-inad...)

- How does succession for intellectual property work for companies? If the company is shut down, can I designate myself as the "inheritor"/beneficiary of all the property that the company held prior to its dissolution?

- Can I convert a subsidiary into a normal company that is directly owned by me? There is a high probability that I will dissolve the foreign parent company once I get U.S. permanent residency (but that could take a few years).

- Do I need to use the Delaware registered agent that Stripe Atlas offers its customers for $100/year? (I want to use the one offered by VirtualPostMail instead: https://www.virtualpostmail.com/services/registered-agent)

Finally, patio11, is the email address info at stripe dot com the best email to reach out for further questions such as these?

I appreciate the correction. Do you mean it was the first in the sense that "TOPS-10" was the new name for the PDP-6 monitor program as it was developed moving forward, and that all the PDP-7 and PDP-8 operating systems came long after the -6, or more literally that TOPS-10 itself is where the inspiration for OS/8 came from? Or do you not consider OS/8 an OS?

Interesting list there. This cites "computer technical support" as "high risc business", and is thus forbidden. But e.g. Github and most other YC startups do exactly that and are very happy using Stripe as its payment service.

Maybe the wording needs to be improved. Over-generalization never helps. All startups are high risk.
You just answered your own question. A self hosted solution requires a lot of domain and technical knowledge to set up. To you it might seem trivial, but that's an insurmountable barrier to many.

That depends on who wins the war, and thus writes the history books. From the point of view of the British, the American Revolution was an act of terrorism and treason.
