In the words of Eric Cartman's Karate instructor, "You rak dishiprin!"

What you have to realise (not just understand conceptually) is that anything worth doing -- anything significant in your life -- requires hard work. Now, before anyone here drops to the floor in a fit of cliche-driven convulsion, let me explain 'hard work'. Hard work is about being consistent and doing the same thing every day. Learning to speak and write another language fluently is not hard work; hard work is practicing every day for 5 years. Running 5k is not hard work; hard work is running every day regardless of how you feel, or what kind of a day you've had, or what the weather is like outside.

> I'm trying to organize myself to wake up @6am and go through journaling > meditating > work > exercise or read. However, I often find out I'm kind of overwhelmed or I can't spend qualitative time in my relationship / don't have time to do other chores.

Slow down, and take a few steps back. You're not ready to manage so many goals (nobody is in the beginning). Pick one thing, just one, from your list -- whichever you enjoy the most. Can you do it every day for a month? Doesn't matter if you don't feel well, or you don't have time, or you're not feeling motivated: can you do this one thing, every day, for a month? This is discipline. This is the 'hard' in 'hard work'. Doesn't have to be a month; it could be 3 weeks or 13 weeks, it doesn't matter, it just needs to be long enough for you to realise that you've always had it in you, and that consistency is the key to achievement.

And, if you fail? So simple: start over. I've failed so many times that I think the universe is running out of failure modes for me. Keep at it. Keep going. Be consistent.
I don't agree, humans worked for 80 hours a week and then together reduced to 40 hours a week. I don't see why they could not reduce it to 30 or 20 hours a week.

Everyone worked on a Saturday then suddenly most of the people stopped working on the Saturday, I don't see why it would be impossible for most of the people in the society to stop working on Friday too.
Populism is ochlocracy, rather than democracy though. One defining feature of democracy is that it is 'supposed' to take some account of minority views and rights when legislating for the majority. People claiming winning mandates to steamroller policies from knife edge splits, inflict some of the severest damage on democracies.

Remember that the thermal efficiency of an ICE is far lower than that of an electric motor, plus electric cars can use kinetic energy recovery so get even higher efficiencies.
That's what a far away earthquake feels like. A close one, even a much smaller but nearby magnitude 4 feels very different.

Is for the demons. Democracy is not about freedom nor liberty but depriving minorities to the willingness of a major party. It's about imposing plunder and violence and has always been. You can't deny it. No Orwellian doublespeak should get in the way to hide what it is. Society should stop accepting it as a godsend and understand this is not ally to freedom or respect to private property but quite the opposite.

It's just an old travesty that empowers the worst kind of gang criminals that can force their desires upon us, plunder the poor, and assault innocent people meanwhile they brainwash us to believe it's legit just because the majority agrees with.

One of the things I love about Amsterdam is how the city changes in the evening. It gets quieter because there are less cars. People can go to pubs without driving (cycling under the influence is illegal but tolerated). And almost the entire city is accessible within 20 minutes.

Agreed. Ah, the New York Times with its paywall—- bastion of modern democracy! Loved the line about how this is the best example of democracy on offer, sheesh.
Bullshit. Roughly about 35% of highly educated will do.

By education I mean STEAM.

Liberal arts "education" is exactly the cause of current mess.
"... and always will be."

Rather short-sighted I think.

In fact I feel we're quite likely to be part of the transition to capitalism's successor, just as feudalism transitioned to capitalism (IMHO, a compromise, still preserving most of the existing powers' unfair property privileges).

Collectivism/communism obviously failed, since it didn't account for individual's desire to be better than everyone else, so lacked individual incentives to innovate etc.

i think "success lifts every boat" policies have also totally failed, as the successful try to detach themselves from everyone else.

Any new system will have to sate arrogant desire and ambition, while still distributing general well-being, and especially, access to our common resources, air, water, land, somewhat equally.
Bouncing waves off the ionosphere has different ranges depending on the time of day. Do you have more info on how that's currently used? I'm curious to learn more.
The problem with Athenian democracy was that there was not enough principles limiting the instant power of the people. Socrates was trying to get Athenians to accept some sense of justice and principles and that seems to be part of the reasons behind his death sentence.

Athenian style democracy, sortition democracy, could work better with the framework of principles in liberal democracy. In small local communities sortition could work with no modification. It has never been tested in very large scale (larger than city state) but I don't see reason why it would not work. Some elected politicians seem to represent the low IQ lobby today.

The Zero-Sum Bias: When people think that everything is a competition
Is Trump an outsider? He comes from a wealthy family, obtained an elite education, spent most of his adult life hobnobbing with powerful people in the nation’s wealthiest and most populous city, and was a fixture of celebrity and popular culture since the 1980s.

His only outsider bonafides are that he hadn’t been elected to political office before running. But he started with money, connections, and name recognition.
Spotted the anarchist.
I don't know where you live, but a lot of time this argument is given by people who live in car-centric cities or neighbourhoods. If you live in a walking/biking friendly neighbourhood (like I did for a few years), then the grocery store/community center/other family centric shops are within a 15 minute walk for everyone living in the neighbourhood, a distance pretty much any healthy person age 6-60 can cover via walking/biking. Whether you are walking or biking you can take a rolling cart with you, which is easy to push (walking or in front/behind your bike) and which will hold as much grocery as you need for a family.

Like you have to understand that a city designed from scratch for cars and one designed for walking/biking look very very different. Biking in one is hard and driving in the other is just as hard.
This is a good article. Democracy seems to work well over periods of a relative sense of unity, like after WW2, when the world's nations realized that this is their final borders and these are the final people they 'll live with. I think sortition is a great way to bring to the test any democracy: If you know that your neighbor might be the Judge of you next week, you adjust your life, and demand adjustments of his life, in a way that ends up being more fair for both of you. Unfortunately today's democracy is being used as a tool for one mob to spite another.

No, it hasn’t. Many believe it is, but the courts have so far upheld the NSA’s activities.

It seems to me that in order to be successful exercise cannot be something that one adopts to meet a specific goal (i.e. look better, fit into a piece of clothing, address a health concern). Instead people need to adopt a way of life that includes exercise.

That's why I think the "cult" aspects of CrossFit are a lot of what makes it so successful. Other examples are people that adopt yoga or martial arts as a way of life rather than just an activity.
That depends what you mean by "a lot". The effort required is significantly less than a rewrite in a safe language. If we're talking about properties that safe languages can verify, i.e. simple, local, ones (like memory safety), verifying those in a sound static analysis tool is not hard, either.

Those are not similar events. All of them have been condemned and appear to have largely been driven by individual reckless actors. Excuses about police believing they were under fire are dubious, but the fact that the excuses indicates the mentality behind how these actions are viewed (not ok).

Police brutality is a serious problem. But it’s not the same problem as those enabled the TS massacre.

> The US doesn't need to suppress people from talking. There's enough social control that people don't talk in the first place. The information is all out there and technically public, which against the US populace is more effective in making sure people don't think of the police as they should.

Anti police sentiment is a huge national issue.
The borders after WW2 were nowhere near being final, and it's unlikely that they're final even today.
He really isn't, but he managed to campaign and win as an outsider more or less simply because he didn't act (or speak) like a politician, didn't have political experience and was self-funded.

And for some reason the people who were upset at the globalists and elites and the failures of crony capitalism ate it up.
Plato and aristotle both seemed wary of the mob, and they'd probably concider this "oligarchy" a good thing. But Wealth is probably a bad choice of criterion here
Thanks for that. I've read up a bit more and I see how you're trying to build a more easily extensible ecosystem. Hope it all get easier to use with time.

I read up a bit more about how to setup a project and the github/local/remote library stuff is very powerful (and not as smooth to setup in lein). I'm wondering about your workflow and how you are mixing and matching local libraries with github and maven/clojar ones. Do you have a separate deps.edn file for local development that point to local "fluid" libraries and then you have periodic freezes where you substitute it for a public deps.edn file and then push it to github/maven?
Look, thought police has arrived.

People are forgetting that it is the very "looseness" of C that is responsible for its great success. The sheer volume of code in C (specifically, any number of complex and critical software) is a testament to that. People keep parroting the same old tired tropes about C without reflection and thought. All the problems, both real and imaginary, in the language have been worked through/around since the beginning by simple discipline, guidelines and external libraries. I am always annoyed when people bring up "memory corruption" as if it were some primordial sin. The power to manipulate raw memory in whatever way i want is so crucial that i am willing to live with the downside of possible corruption. In fact most of the people i have worked with and myself never found this to be so much of a problem as everybody else makes it out to be. We always followed good guidelines, had special libraries for memory allocation as needed and testing procedures to catch memory leaks. Everything worked out fine.

In conclusion, the power given to Programmers by C far outweighs any of its perceived downsides in real-world scenarios.

Socrates was a fascist who hated democracy. His students imposed a noted tyranny on the state of Athens, and his collaboration with that state is why he was sentenced to death later. The only reason we think Socrates is so great is that literally the only surviving texts are from his supporters. Meanwhile texts from the Stoics or Democritus are lost. Its like if the only record of our time was the writing of Henry Kissinger.
I was about to comment exactly that.

Agreed. I also don’t understand why the times seems to accept contributions that present 6th grade level argumentation?

> “Fundamentally, humans are not predisposed to living democratically. One can even make the point that democracy is “unnatural” because it goes against our vital instincts and impulses. What’s most natural to us, just as to any living creature, is to seek to survive and reproduce. And for that purpose, we assert ourselves — relentlessly, unwittingly, savagely — against others: We push them aside, overstep them, overthrow them, even crush them if necessary. Behind the smiling facade of human civilization, there is at work the same blind drive toward self-assertion that we find in the animal realm.“

Seriously, the above passage sounds like something anyone could come up with in about three seconds (with a touch of stylistic flourish). The assertion has absolutely no philosophical nuance, no careful appeal to scientific research, no sophisticated anticipation of counterpoints or caveats. It’s a very basic form of argumentation, and I think that many readers of the times are more than capable of digesting more significant arguments that bring the tradition of political philosophy to bear on the subject more seriously than through a couple of passing references.

I know part of the mission of this column is to make philsophy more accessible, but I think the times better carefully consider whether adhering too strongly to that mission is also making modern philosophy seem shallow and childish (which it isn’t).

Shame too, I’m sure the author’s other original work is probably interesting and more apropos of a professor. My sense is that the editorial work here perhaps harmed this submission more than it helped.
Sure, but there are obvious cases which turn these averages into really different personal-stories.

One case is the obvious cost of having a child in America, even with insurance some people pay thousands of dollars.

Its the old Human Nature argument. There is no definition on what this fabled Human Nature is and I find it incredibly boring to reduce the nature of our species to one aspect of us, most people are selfish from time to time. But if selfishness is what define us, most people would be raging assholes and that does not square with my experience of the world.

Yeah, though removing it from github won't make things better. Some kid would find the code anyway and distribute the app to jailbroken phones. That's why people need to be aware of this app - because if it's not the harassment will be worse.
The word "democracy" has apparently changed its meaning in the last few hundred years. A few sources (whose titles I can't recall) state that at the time of the founding of the US, "democracy" meant something more akin to "mob rule."

In other words, not something to embrace, but something to fear. Not a constitutionally-organized experiment in self-determination, but the French Revolution (something that many founders saw as a cautionary tale).

The deep mistrust in direct democracy is on full display in the Constitution itself. Only 1/3 of the Senate is ever up for election at one time. The framers were deeply worried about a "throw the bums out" revolt.

The Electoral College is another example. The framers didn't want a popularity contest that elected a lowbrow pandering to the the crowd's most base instincts. They wanted someone who could appeal to the elite members of the College and who shared their values.

To me it seems insane that a doctor should care about the price of necessary medicines they're prescribing.

The evidence suggests that blanket surveillance is a thing, and that's it very clearly unconstitutional.

Of course in this situation it's always possible to appeal to "national security" but that's an unconvincing legitimisation unless it can be proved that national security has been enhanced to an extent that warrants the suspension of constitutional protections.

So far as I know this has never even been tried in court, never mind proven.

On a related note, Kant and Plato both argue that an enlightened despot or philosopher king is probably the best person to rule...so they more likely would accept a “sophogarchy” or leadership by the wisest, not the wealthiest. Unfortunately, as other thinkers have pointed out, such individuals are also the least likely persons to desire rule or power
