None of your comments have been relevant to the app. Your comments been complaints about specific verbiage used to describe a particular problem, common to startups, that the dev wished to avoid. We'd love to hear your points on what the app could use, however you've done nothing but insinuate that the developer doesn't appreciate his users because a particular word choice caught you wrong. I can see no other reason someone would take offense to a word choice unless they were personally offended. Please feel free to enlighten us by refuting any point of my comment. Your reply realistically doesn't do anything to respond to my summary.

> I am much more inclined to believe studies that ask for self-reported happiness and compare to life events / states like childlessness without directly asking "do you regret your kids".

Did you reply to the wrong comment? That's why the parent poster led with this quote from IFS:

One can speak meaningfully of "an atom in a superposition of energy states" despite the fact that, strictly speaking, such a thing is not possible, just as one can speak meaningfully of "the force of gravity" despite the fact that, strictly speaking, there is no such force. The latter is understood as the force-like effect of curved spacetime, and the former is understood as "an atom being a component of a system in a superposition of states with different distributions of energy" (or something like that). Communications between humans becomes more productive when we cut each other a little terminological slack.
No, the core of Hindi is inherited, ultimately from something like 'vulgar Sanskrit', not borrowed from Sanskrit. So like the core of Italian vocabulary is inherited from (vulgar) Latin, though there are of course also direct borrowings (at later dates) from Latin into Italian.

So 'fire' in Hindi(/Urdu) is āg (आग), but 'fire' in Sanskrit is agni (अग्नि), which has also been borrowed into Hindi (as the name of the god of fire; or fire in ritual contexts). Now, āg descends from agni, but represents the natural linguistic development into Hindi.

> Not so. The deist God is more of a Cartesian/Paleyian watchmaker, not the God of the philosophers classically understood. The God of the philosophers is very much in line with the Judeo-Christian God (not everything can be inferred through unaided reason, but much of it can). And God as "I am" ("ehyeh asher ehyeh") is precisely not a thing ipsum esse subsistens, or that who's essence it is to exist, and by which all things are. However, it precedes things and in doing so puts a stop to the infinite regress of having to appeal to still further things to explain the existence of things (which cannot work because we aren't trying to a chain of causes but the cause of their existence in the here and now).

I'm not sure I follow the distinction you are making. In any case, my point is that this ontological train of reasoning does not get us all the way to specific religious commitments, although we might argue that some religions are more compatible with this line of reasoning than others.
That would be a very wasteful use of precious volatiles though.

I don't think there's too much money: there are not enough GOOD ways to spend it.

Investors don't refuse to fund ethical businesses or finance saving the planet, if it can make them money. It's just that there's no good opportunity on the market.

When investors can make more money saving the planet that destroying it, the planet will be saved.
> So to answer the question "what's outside" we just need to wait for the light to reach us.

unless what is outside is moving away faster than light (which I think it is), then it will never reach us (from my very basic layman understanding of how much space is being created as the universe expand. The reason why it can move away faster than light is that objects cannot move faster than light, but if space in the universe between two points is being created than the speed of light limit doesn't apply (for some reason I don't understand, but as people much smarter than I do understand, I will go with them)
> nobody wants to pay for enough capable support staff, pay to keep the support staff at the ready often enough, pay support staff who want to stay in that role

It's not about money. I worked at a unicorn that paid very high wages for support staff AND allowed them to work remotely and asynchronously from anywhere in the world. If you lived in Southeast Asia or Eastern Europe you'd make more than a local doctor just answering emails.

We still simply couldn't hire enough halfway intelligent people fast enough to keep up with the user growth. For each support person we'd hire, there'd be 10,000 new customers joining the same week. "Automating that all away" was the only tractable way to respond to people at all in a reasonable time frame. Obviously the support quality was awful.

Absolutely. The conversation here, centered around biological determinism, is a grand distraction.
They detected a quiet period of slower transitions before the spontaneous drop to the middle state... this implies that "something" happens prior to the transition.

They were able to detect this "something", and even prevent the state change.

In my mind, that "something" represents a hidden state or something like it within the synthetic atom.

What they don't have is the rockets. SpaceX has cheap reusable Falcon 9s. Blue Origin is aiming to have a cheap reusable New Glenn in 2021. Apple would have to go with much more expensive traditional launchers.
I'm guessing GP read in in the interview with Abigail Disney

> They did a study at the Chronicle of Philanthropy years ago where they asked people who inherited money, “What amount of money would you need to feel totally secure?” And every single one of them, no matter what they had, named a number that was roughly twice what they inherited. So that’s what you need to know about money, right? If that is your primary measure of success or value in life, then good luck with that, because it will never feel good.

Let me share that beancount actually has the most extensive and flexible tagging and metadata system of any accounting software I've used.

In addition to the conventional hierarchical accounts/categories, with beancount one can attach to transactions- and query with beancount's sql- both:

* arbitrary single value labels, like tags

* arbitrary name-value pairs, like metadata

The flexibility is truly a game changer.

Well because its true. Hard work for an athlete is even more important than hard work for getting rich. Luck and being in the right place, knowing the right people, right things, etc are all far more important these days for wealth than how many hours you put in at the office.

With athletics there are bunch of pre-reqs, and a lot of luck but for most physical sports your going to have to work as hard as you possibly can for years. The genetics and working hard makes you a competitor, then you have to find an edge to actually win.
I guess it is the macOS way for every app to be self-contained and include all of its own libraries.

But I miss the idea of shared libraries; not only can they potentially save memory and disk space, but it makes bug fixes easier because you can fix the shared library without having to update every app separately.
> fathers were 40% more likely than childless men to see themselves as very happy.

That part of the study is about the same fathers who are now aged 50-70 and whose children have generally left the house and are no longer children.

I guess if you see it as in investment for future happiness when you're old, you can interpret it as "children make you happy", but not if you prefer to be happy now and over the next ~18 years.
We'll still have provenance and trusted organizations

Oh boy are you in for a rude awakening. It doesn't matter what smart people believe if enough stupid people are convinced of something else. You're using examples from times of very low information distribution to form expectations about the opposite condition, which is already problematic, and ignoring all nonsensical superstition that used to be the norm.

When I was growing up I remember a minor local mania over a supposed miracle at a religious shrine which became a summer sensation. People were charting tour buses to say prayers and hoping to witness a miracle themselves. Right now in the US we have a community of people who have been enthusiastically chanting at political rallies about locking their opponents up for the last 3 years without any apparent care for evidence or factual basis. Obviously political rallies are known for their hyperbole but at some point you have to feed the beast.
I have a similar rule with my wife, that she doesn't know about.

If she wants to do something with me, then I say yes, as long as I don't have a prior commitment, or, you know, am not sick or physically unable. I started this rule with her from the moment we met. I think it is part of why we stayed together all these years, and why we worked out well when so many of my previous relationships didn't.

I love a lot of solitary activities, like reading, writing, single-player games, drawing and painting, learning new things, working on projects that she isn't interested in, etc. Without my self-imposed rule, I would likely decline to do a lot of other activities, especially outside my own interests.

But if she wants to do something or go somewhere or just sit and talk, then I say yes.

My kids are young enough that I don't quite have the same rule with them, and partly because they just want me to do stuff with them and be with them literally all the time, so we are still in boundary-setting phase, but I assume that I will eventually adopt the "as you wish" rule with them as well.

* use a dating site or app, if for nothing else but to meet and talk with another person

So the manager can be honest, but it is usually not even his call. The company will likely to put a lot of value on the maintenance side (which bring the money) and less on new projects (which get postponed if there are any issues in the maintenance side).

I do not think that the manager is lying to you. TODAY he see it as 50/50. But what happen if the cluttered project is late? What happen if there is a need for new features in the cluttered project. I would accept the job only if you are ok staying in the cluttered project team for at least a year or two.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic way to make a ton of friends and feel like you are part of something bigger than yourself.

> It's fun to see smart people contemplating alternative things.

It certainly is. Most recent theory I heard of whilst staying up too late watching youtube videos, was by Roger Penrose on CCC (Conformal cyclic cosmology) [1]

My very basic understanding of it (probably wrong understanding though) was that the universe is mathmatical, thus mathmatical tricks are valid constructs when understanding the universe. Once the universe has expanded to heat death, it will have infinite size and zero mass which is the same as having 0 size and infinite mass which will cause a big bang and another universal epoch.

I'm probably remembering it all wrong, but as a layman who enjoys watching much smarter people than I contemplate and try to explain these thing, I found the idea very interesting

Actually, thinking about it, mass violence is probably secondary in these systems to predicting suicidal behavior. And while you can argue a principal shouldn't have to worry if a kid is bullied into suicide, or whether an underage girl is using a dating site to find external validation, you better believe they'll be the first ones blamed when a 15 year old girl goes missing after meeting a guy on a dating site she accessed during math class.

But I don't know of anywhere that provides you a computer, email address, whatever, without language saying they are for approved use only and can be monitored. From what I read the 'pulling information' was after a device was connected to a computer, most likely caused by school administrators and students not understanding how the system reacts when it sees a new drive attached. This isn't invading kids deepest darkest secrets, like asking them to accept a cacert or whatever.
