Could the police possibly visit your house based on that report at some point in the future to ask some questions, carrying guns? For some people, that's potentially lethal situation. There are so many reports of random things police do when they turn up and some dog barks or something and it ends up with a hail of gunfire for some reason.
Interview with the Podfather: Tim Nufire on the Origins of the Pod
If you cant go individual offices than go, small offices, with 2 - 3 people inside.

If that doesn't work try going bigger, I'd prefer three separate 10 people offices that, one open.

And if you cant do that, and are stuck with one big place, put desks at sides, and put some kind of separator (whiteboards, message boards, kids pictures, self standing walls whatever) in the middle, and every few desks.
I am not going to debate why "Obama secretly supported ISIS" is stupid.

It's stupid, and if you think it's plausible, you need to honestly evaluate whether your news sources are informing you or peddling a narrative with an objective.
I suppose it depends if you're defining the market locally or globally. A fraction of a FAANG salary in a small town can go a long way in the local market.
And I was looking for a job between 2008-2012, even though I had one, the direction my company was going was obvious. Employers looking for employees or contractors could be picky and find someone with just the right skills and didn't have to compromise. Having the right skill fit is even more important in a down turn. What are the chances that their won't be another downturn in the next 20 years?
My son goes to one of these. We moved him out of another (indoor) preschool. He loves it - the kids seem to get along better, he's been more well behaved, and it seems to foster his creativity. That said, he's also older now! But we've had a great experience.
For men - porn addiction (or any addiction) is a way to release stuck energy that is not being funnelled toward creative work or creative expression.

So suggestion is to think what you love doing - and start doing that.

Engage and get focus on something meaningful and exciting for you.

This active re-focusing will help you to steer toward something good and automatically away from something not good.
OK I looked into it more. It's more about reducing time spent by doctors appealing health insurance non-payment (IE, if the insurance doesn't allow prescribing medicine X for insurance code Y, the doctor would have to write up some appeals form).

I think the keyword in this article is intentions. Those should remain private, but anything else about your work can be discussed and managed and is frequently better to do so.

The modern concept of a self is a difficult thing. I don't fully understand it. It seems to include a willingness to isolate and exile part of yourself. The boundary between what's internal and external is the basis of a whole category of research, but the modern pop-psychology idea is just to run with it as if we could know.

I'm aware US police have an inflammatory history and culture in responding to priority emergency calls, but that isn't a police report.

Reports take time, and pass through a bunch of proceedings before any action is taken - the first usually being a sit-down interview with the victim, if any action is chosen to be taken.

True, maybe some shoes could be designed with replaceable soles though (so you can preserve the upper). Probably not economical since shoes are so cheap to make anyway and the sole is probably the most costly part.
Isn't this basically the Overton window?

> The Overton window is the range of ideas tolerated in public discourse, also known as the window of discourse. The term is named after Joseph P. Overton, who stated that an idea's political viability depends mainly on whether it falls within this range, rather than on politicians' individual preferences.

Two years ago I vowed to only buy vintage clothing (with exceptions for under garments, shoes and concert swag). Two years later, I haven't bought any clothes! The problem is that vintage clothing for men is a really bad shopping experience, at least in DC. Few retail stores and the ones that do exist only seem to have clothes from a groovy era or a less fashionable, probably slightly older set. (I'm in my 40s. I like my clothes on the slimmer side.) The vintage option is so much more possible for women.
I think the ruling class has done a skillful job of convincing the managing class and the top of the working class that they are almost at ruling class levels themselves.

You confuse happiness with comfort and pleasure. This happens to people who have never experienced true happiness. You can't describe color to someone who's blind.

> as far as miracles, im sorry but I don't believe in magic spells and third party attestations as to their veracity. humans will see and believe what they want to see and believe. and they will do whatever they can to maintain a consistent worldview, even if that means discarding a rational explanation for what happened.

You don't want to believe. That is why you don't believe in facts that are attested to independently by competent medical professionals under oath.
Here's the Beeminder twitter account, earlier this month giving a link to their response to this exact question:

https://twitter.com/bmndr/status/1169303739657682944

(tl;dr: they don't agree that announcing your goals makes you less likely to accomplish them. Which should not be surprising, to anyone who has already heard of Beeminder.)
Google runs a system-level update service on Windows too. The crash handler for it is also running all the time, at least on my machine (and is running with root-equivalent permissions). If you disable it, the next time you launch Chrome they just turn it back on.

It's bizarre. Few vendors do this.
(For perspective, I'm still in High School, and have scored pretty well on the SAT)

I think what a lot of people fail to realize is that the SAT being based on Aptitude is intentional. Doing well on the SAT means knowing how to study for the SAT (with an advantage given to those who do well in school). That's what the test is measuring, your ability to study.
I don't believe they're channers, they're far to numerous and their commenting style tends towards boomerisms.
> That sounds like a great argument against open offices. I could not handle sitting near two people pair programming the whole day. If they went to a private office to do it that would seem ideal.

I don't understand. You can't handle working in an open office, so your solution is to force people who work well in an open office to work in a private office?

Why can't you go work in a private office if that works well for you, and let people who work well in open offices work in open offices?
Community colleges admit anyone who wants to go. Students who do well there can then transfer to complete a Bachelor's degree. It's a great option for students who perform poorly on standardized tests.
While in general, I agree with not announcing plans until they're finished, I do have two counterpoints

1) A year ago, I announced to in-person friends and on FB eliminating certain foods from my diet. Afterwards, it was easy because I could always remember I publicly announced it. Last year, it was chicken. This year, I added pork, soda, and processed meats. Haven't touched them since.

2) If it's very tangible and concrete then I find it works well. I announced writing daily for 30 days on my blog and successfully did it.

But yeah, general plans like I'm going to start a business or workout more usually fizzle out after the initial excitement.

Long exposure photography has been around for decades. The tricky part isn't even hardware so of course it was going to be equalled and surpassed. The pixel hardware wasn't amazing when it was first released and now it's quite outdated. It's a matter of stitching pictures and blending them seamlessly, google was the first to apply that on phones because they had the edge in software / visual machine learning.

It's technically amazing and very useful but it's not black magic either, apple taking 2 generations of phones to catch up is the most surprising part to be honest.

Here is a -great- introduction straight from the source (Nick Land): https://jacobitemag.com/2017/05/25/a-quick-and-dirty-introdu...

The Wikipedia entry is informative and concise but the grand scope and (some would say) madness of Land's vision only begins to emerge when one immerses oneself in Land's writings, starting from "Meltdown" [1]. One doesn't need to be versed in Philosophy, Qabalah, Mysticism, Lovecraft and several different branches of the Occult - although it certainly helps - to grasp what Land is talking about. Just having read and understood Neuromancer is enough.
For a more conventional, historical, perspective see [2] and [3].

If you're wondering "is there any value in this" consider the timing. Land may have been a burned-out drug-fueled academic, but some would say he revitalized Philosophy with his willingness to go outside the norm and commune with what lies beyond the human. Reaching the apex in the mid 90s, well before the impact of the Internet was obvious to the mainstream, people laughed at him then, but it turns out, he saw it all coming.

“The definite probability that the allotment of time to decision-making is undergoing systematic compression remains a neglected consideration, even among those paying explicit and exceptional attention to the increasing rapidity of change.”

>>I walk & work out a lot and I'm finding a lot of the running/training type shoes wear out in 3-4 months.

I was walking to and from work (~7 miles round trip) for a couple years, and made the switch to these hiking boots [1] for the same reason. I also hiked a lot (local 10+ miles hikes, Kilimanjaro, etc.) and these have just gotten more comfortable with time and use.

A small quibble I have is the laces wear out regularly. I have to replace them every ~8 months.

My clothes started lasting a lot longer after switching to a Haier portable washing machine and line drying my clothes.

The Haier has no central agitator, and I'm sure that helps, but, of the two, I'm guessing the bigger impact comes from line drying. The contents of the average lint trap would seem to suggest that tumble dryers really do a number on clothes.

Getting nuclear waste off the surface is extremely risky & challenging. Rockets occasionally explode and scatter their payload. Even a 0.01% (1 out of 10,000) failure rate might be considered too high a risk. I think that a lot of people would not take the risk that 1 out of every 10,000 rockets with nuclear waste will explode and scatter the contents into the upper atmosphere.

Well, the trick of Ponzi scheme is that it looks externally exactly like legit financial company - you get investments, you pay dividends, you attract more investments to finance growth - this is how many legit companies work. Without looking inside - whether or not the company has legit activity going on on the inside, whether currently profitable or not - it's impossible to know, externally it looks the same.

Imagine a young person who gets wrapped up in some illegal activity. 30 years later settled down with a wife and kids he goes for a job interview and the person across the desk happens to have googled his name. That to me doesn't feel fair, people should have the ability to avoid their past haunting them forever.

Pre-internet the problem was naturally solved. The interviewer could have dug back through all of the local newspapers and happened upon an article but that's incredibly unlikely. Maybe if he was running for public office it might be uncovered.

The other side is that politicians and millionaires can use it to hide their dirty secrets. Nothing is perfect though so maybe that is the price we pay.

I do my best on this, but if she knew about the climate strike I would have let her join it.

It's no good denying the reality of the situation we are in just to spare sad/anxious feelings. This generation has a choice:

1) Survive but feel anxious

2) Die, but be happy as a child, then angry it was hidden from you after it's too late to do anything

It's an unfortunate dilemma but we must choose the better of these, yeah? It's probably 'try to survive' rather than 'bread and circuses'. It's fair that the people most likely to be affected by this are the ones most concerned/active about doing something about it.

There is a lot of gear involved... our son wears long underwear, wool socks, proper rain jacket / pants...and we're in a relatively mild climate. I think that's one of the benefits though - it teaches kids that crap weather doesn't mean you can't go outside and play, you just need to be prepared.

As far as naps - our kiddo doesn't take a nap anymore, so it isn't an issue. Younger classes typically get out earlier, so you could do a nap then. I'm not sure there are any all day outdoor preschools....

That's how I thought the fear of embarrassment turns into motivation too, but that is not real motivation as it doesn't come from within but from the outside, fearing of disappointing others or fearing personal embarrassment. That may work to keep one going but the reality is that things change, priorities change, motivation fades for good reasons. It is probably better to not announce anything until you've started off and made some progress and realized that you're on a good path.
