Private currencies seem to be legal so long as they aren't viewed by the government to be a method of avoiding taxes. Can you point me to some more information about this? Everything I've read seems to point to private currencies being legal in the United States at least (aside, I am aware of the liberty dollar case in the US. The government's angle was that it too closely resembled US currency iirc).
India may have some kind of democracy but it's far that enjoyed in a western European nation. The open support by some BJP politicians for the lynch mobs and killers of Muslims and Dalits is unconscionable.
> To use the music analogy, isn't Gwern's point that since most people won't be able to come up with "noteworthy" music on their own (many think they can, due to overconfidence), the better thing to do for the world is to (help) realize, promote and refine the noteworthy music other people did, even though you are unlikely to get any credit that way?

This (de-analogised) would, I think, have made a very good post. Instead of urging others to find their ways to contribute, even if those ways were little recognised or rewarded, the post seemed more about the authors' wanting recognition both for doing this, and, curiously, recognition for not getting recognition—both of which are probably OK, except that the author then seems to proceed to devalue other sorts of contribution. (I think that the reference to wankery was particularly uncalled for.)
And they have an history with FBW-caused accidents.

Especially AF296 killed 3 people when they try to demonstrate the anti-stall capacity of the FBW during an airshow. Airbus modified the way the fbw control reclamation worked after this. After the Rio-Paris accident (forgot the flight name, it was AF too), they changed the way the degradation worked wehn sensor fails (i think now 3 different mode exists, and information is more visible).

Those incident killed people, and there is a chance that the first one was actually caused only by the manufacturer (the second one was 99% the pilot though, the remaining 1% was: better information, better sims and better gradation so that even new, tired pilot can't make this kind of mistake).
> I think it's possible that the Max will never fly again.

I maintain that it will fly again, there will be a third high fatality crash related to MCAS, and then it will never fly as a passenger plane again. The existing planes will be repurposed as cargo planes. You heard it here first.

And a massive federal bailout of Boeing because it is critical to national security is well beyond inevitable at this point.
+1 On how not to die, the research is very well done.
I think the notion that you can eat your way to health or longevity is wishful thinking. We all want to solve our health issues by eating, which is an activity we enjoy.

In reality, the positive impact on your metabolic, bio, age, and cancer markers of not eating anything (fasting) are marked and distinct as opposed to magical formulas of "dark colored vegetables" and "antioxidants" and "polyphenols" whose effects are difficult to ascertain at best and at worst are probably non-existent.[1]

If there were some combination of blueberries and red wine and pomegranates and acai juice that made us live noticeably longer, or more disease free, we would know it. We wouldn't have overlooked it accidentally. We are hardly the first people to think long and hard about the problems of aging. What we do know is that vigorous exercise and calorie restriction make people immediately healthier and less afflicted by disease - cancer and otherwise.

It's quite sad, frankly, how terrible and unacceptable that simple recipe is for so many people. People are, literally, dying to not exercise.

[1] For a good discussion of the inability for "antioxidants" to reach the inner portion of the cell where the "oxidation" occurs and for a discussion as to how bad that might be if it could happen (oxidation and free radicals are probably essential cell signaling methods that cause ill mannered cells to commit apoptosis, or "suicide"), I recommend the excellent book _Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life_ by Nick Lane.
That's a lot of words to say nothing, really. Amazon Prime is so insignificant in cost that it makes no sense not to have it. And the author already admitted to sharing logins, which is no doubt a violation of their use policy and a morally vague thing to do, at best.
Charcoal is very useful for plants.

It is extremely absorbent to anything, specially nutrients in the soil so they don't get washed away by rain or irrigation. it releases them slowly.

I have done tests myself with very small quantities, 50 or so plants, half of those without, half with it, and plants certainly improve a lot.

We need scientific studies of thousands and thousands of plants for info about the combination of all those things.

It will require several disciplines, like genome extraction from soil, computer science to identify the microorganism present, lots of sensors for humidity, temperature, ph and so on.
Your slow desktop app is an electron app
Aside from learning by doing, I spend a fair amount of time building intuition. Reading a lot is the bulk of my strategy. Blogs, books, HN comments, reddit and the occasional YT video. This is all passive, so it's not as good as actually doing stuff, but I find that it accumulates (slowly) and helps me build more context, which ultimately leads to something of an intuition for whatever I'm working on. I've been doing this for about twenty years.

I've recently been experimenting with note taking and spaced repetition. Basically when reading, I try to add the occasional tidbit to an Anki deck. I don't think I've gotten the hang of this yet, I currently feel like I'm not adding enough entries, but I want to avoid creating too many notes. Suggestions about stricking a balance would be greatly appreciated.

Correct, but developers are directly responsible for the performance and stability of the platform. I highly doubt the designers specified in their designs that the website should constantly display: "Sorry, we couldn't load posts for this page" as mentioned in the OP.

If we are talking about poor interaction design patterns and unintuitive conceptual models with no prior usability testing/UX research then designers/researchers deserve the blame (assuming devs didn't botch the implementation and create usability problems), but this isn't the issue at hand... platform stability is and that's the job of the developers who code it.
I respect your perspective, but based on your answer I’m assuming you are not living in poverty?
Not really the same thing, the per capita GDP of the US is vastly higher than India.

India is in a lower middle income group, its neighbours except pakistan are moving or in midle to upper-middle income groups already. Srilanka, China and bangladesh are middle, higher middle and soon to be middle income group countries respectively. India is far behind on many indicators and right wing governments world over dont have a great track record of improving the economy. India seems likely to get stuck in middle income trap like Brazil but with much low oil resource and large uneducated skill less population which is destined to be a liability in the next decades to come unless India is able to magically transform its low skill population into an equivalent chinese work force. But that is unlikely due to education disparity in the population, and a religious system where a large population does not have access to education. So all in all India is destined to be a basket case of untapped potential.

More like I don't know how I could afford the time and money to build and run the service.
Computers are an even better example. Their early usages were incredibly primitive, limited, and astronomically expensive. You had governments dropping very large amounts of money on what were glorified calculators. If you would have even suggested that these 'computing machines' would lead to what we have today, it would have sounded like fantasy. The most remarkable thing is that the transition from effectively no computers to them revolutionizing our entire species happened in less than a single human lifetime.

And I see no reason to expect anything different with space. Developing the technology to sustainably colonize other planets will bring opportunities that we cannot even imagine today. And I think we can all see such things, but it's easy to get mind-locked in the drama of the present while forgetting about the longer path that we are already set well upon. It is interesting to consider that the saying "When a wise man points to the moon, the fool examines the finger." is, itself, many centuries old.

> Continued catch-up growth seems the most likely possibility

Statistically speaking, this is unlikely. Not having concentrated natural resources helps. But the base odds around development economics are precarious.

The most likely outcome is populist collapse, mass emigration and developmental reversal. Only vigilance can guard against that. If India’s populace starts believing growth or stable stagnation are the most likely outcomes, that itself almost assured a negative outcome. (The latter claim based on weaker statistics than the former around the base odds of development.)
So how much do you think the Indians are spending on the space mission, how much of it should be taken away and applied towards poverty elimination and how exactly do you see that working? Hand over the money, build toilets, food rationing, power availability - all of that they are doing in parallel to their space program and those aren't things that just magically disappear by throwing more money at them.

This is false dichotomy - one doesn't have to cease for other to exist and ceasing one doesn't automatically make the other better.
I always thought there was a fortune to be made in buying the mining rights to old landfills.

I'd expect compressed old consumer goods to be a rich "ore" for many valuable materials compared to many natural sources, and having the mining operation there would provide an endgame for the landfill that ensured it was being monitored and managed.

The problem is that it assumes that mining operations are well regulated, which I suspect would not be the case.

These types of tutorials are pretty popular among VFX artists who may suddenly need to brush up on complex math, but don’t work with it consistently. Knowing the fundamentals of calculus comes in very handy when suddenly you’re tasked with working in Houdini for six months and have never touched the software before.
A lot of Olympic infrastructure is wasted since it involves stuff like building stadiums that are then unused after the Olympics.

Investment for an Olympics-type event can be useful if it results in the creation of durable multipurpose infrastructure like transit lines though.

The US Space Race helped us become a leader in satellite launch, which is a productive industry on its own terms now. Weather satellites, GPS, telecoms all benefit from it and provide tangible benefits to the population.

I’m not sure if Indian investment in space is more toward the useless or useful side of the spectrum though.

Yo competition is great but it's disingenuous, even borderline delusional, to suggest a video editing outfit to hire developers to fix up an open source project instead of using a paid one.
Actually I misremembered. It was not the plug style that causes issues but the size of the exit. The change from the throw out door to the hinge version in the NG is apparently a change they made to satisfy JAA: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/boeing-details-em...

Oddly enough that news bulletin says it's still a plug door which it clearly is not in the final design.

Overall the root cause I believe is generally weight of doors and evacuation time. I had a few conversations about this around the time the second accident happened and grandfather rights were brought up by people from the industry I talked to as an expensive problem for a new type rating.
It sure does, see Rangitoto Island for an example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangitoto_Island).

A bare volcanic rock after its eruption 600 years ago, the island is now largely reforested. Lava fields contain no soil of the typical kind, so it must come from windblown matter and slow breaking-down processes of the native flora.

Got to laugh at the ones saying deal with poverty rather than goto the moon. You don't seem to moan when countries like India spend money buying our military hardware do you?
Most industries get their start in the military because that is where the money always is; however, semiconductors have definitely moved on to other applications, whereas rocketry remains mostly about making missiles.
> Those people are the audiophile-type ones.

At least what I've seen feels to me more like casemodders with PCs, people putting decals or body-kits on their cars, or collectors ... It's more about making something their own and making it look cool, not pretending it works that much better.
I did put something into words, didn't I? ;)

Joking aside, I would have thought this was possible.
I use Anki to learn the basic language and terms. When I joined a new company and domain last year for example, it was a lot of new acronyms.

When searching through documentation, I look for the dense writing of scientific papers. Clear definitions are very useful but often missing in documentation.

Look for the "greybeards" and listen to them. Their intuition is valuable. However, if you have a solid argument then have no fear to voice your concerns. If you disagree with someone more experienced then take the time to really find out why.
Charles Munger: A Lesson on Elementary, Worldly Wisdom
40% of BJP members of parliment have criminal records/charges against them. Including murder and rape. I'm Indian but I've lost faith in Indian politicians years ago. Only way I see a reform coming about is if more of the youth view politics as a viable/worthy career path. Right now, the lunatic amount of emphasis on Engineering/Science paths to highschool kids is draining all talent.

There are actually strong links between diet and health. Eating a lot of vegetables lowers the risk of quite some diseases including cancer and heart diseases. The western diet seems to be particularly unhealthy in that regard.

It's not about eating more, but about eating different things.
India didn't acquire launch technology "via globalisation". In fact, when India attempted technology transfer from Russia, US objected citing Missile Technology Control Regime, and India had to develop their own.

Agriculture is the country’s major occupation, yet it imports rice polishing machines from switzerland.

Indian market is one of the fastest growing smartphone market. Yet the biggest players are Chinese, Korean or American.

Railways has been the primary source of connection across the country and within cities. Yet metro trains are made by Japan and european companies.

In the cities IT services are the main source of economy, yet India never shipped its own microprocessor until very recently.

I can go on, but you get the point. Having a vague idea of how to do something vs shipping a world class product are two different things. What’s happening with the moon mission is the latter, though at a very beginning stage.
> Deaths per kilometer is not a good metric when comparing safety between methods of transportation. You'd rather look at deaths per journey, and suddenly car travel looks very safe.

Cars can travel extremely short ranges and extremely long ranges which skews their "journey" statistics as most people use them for short trips. Planes are only efficient at long ranges so "journey" statistics look bad but if everyone were to drive everywhere instead of fly, human fatalities would definitely go up.

Why are so many mechanical keyboards tiny? They don't want to spend the money for more switches?
