The impression that I always got was that the church, in some role or another, was it's own high quality occupation.

It was a good option that provided education, stability, potentially a source of power, and was a prestigious path to go.

I think in modern times we sometimes see the church as this side organization, but in the past it was its own industry of sorts and central to life, economics, education, prestige, potentially power.

First, so you are fine in letting somebody else(!!!) die? Because the person calling 911 is not the person that is dying. Even if it was the same person - the death penalty for words? Really now?

Second, your story does not support your point, it just adds words to it with no apparent relevance.

> But that's the thing, if people don't really know how much trolling, extremism, and disinformation is real vs. manufactured, Russian intelligence services _have_ achieved their goal

This is speculation about a plausible narrative.

You do not know what the Russian intelligence services are doing. You have been _told_, repeatedly, across all forms of media, by state sponsored entities, corporate entities, and individuals affiliated with no one, that Russia _is_ doing a variety of things. This may be true, this may be not. You and I do not know, and I have yet to encounter a single organization that actually knows and can provide actual evidence, rather than plausible narratives.

> People will argue over nothing, accuse others of being bots, and imagine new conspiracy theories based on the idea that foreign hands are meddling in things.

You are absolutely correct.

> The goal is to sow chaos, so if people respond with hysteria, that still achieves the goal. Understanding and not reflexively reacting to trolling, regardless of the source, is what can blunt the influence of the behavior. If people are not even aware of the deliberate trolling attempts, it's less likely they'll be able to counter it, or at least ignore it.

This is a narrative, based on an advertised version of reality combined with the powerful ability of the human mind to imagine things so vividly, they are effectively indistinguishable from experienced reality. Think about it for a minute: how did you come to know what is _really_ going on? Trace back through your memory and make note of the evidence that is unequivocally factual, writing it down on a piece of paper as you go. You might be surprised what you come up with.

i strongly disagree. everyone's beliefs need to be challenged. that is the only way we have progressed as a society throughout the ages.
You're missing the elephant in the room.

Our society's piss-poor ability to deal with addiction.

Once the system recognizes you as an addict, the moral crusaders in our justice system will do their damn best to limit you to provably ineffective forms of treatment, like 12-step programs. Methadone maintenance? Don't even think about it. Getting you off black-market drugs? Don't even think about it.

While everyone's busy arguing about who is at fault for getting millions of people addicted, we continue to treat addiction like we are still in the 'leeching and trepanning' stage of medicine.
I'd have to have a very close look at the exact details of that. It's certainly possible for parliamentary committees to continue to sit during recess, but it doesn't look like they generally have during the conference period before (presumably because the Commons committees are made up of MPs who are busy with the conferences), and the government was already quite visibly scraping the barrel to find even delegated legislation to occupy Parliament's time back in July. There were some quite rude remarks from opposition MPs about how inconsequential some of the Brexit-related legislation they were scrutinizing was!

There were and are many reasons why people became monastics. But to think that the only reasons were inheritance and property laws shows that someone only knows about monasticism from the perspective of modern medieval histories, which tend to present it this way. Not to deny that these reasons existed and made many consider monastic life as an option, but it can't be the whole story.

Think about it, monastic life really was and is monastic. It included many hours of prayers and other contemplative practices (and other minor inconveniences like celibacy). Yes, there was great variance in different orders, but many people (if not most) chose this life because they were true believers. The only way to prepare them for this life was that the church as a whole was universally present so that monasticism became just one option between many different ones within the church, albeit a quite intense one.
you can get 95% of the effects of macromolecular crowding by just shoving PEG into the system (the very first paper we covered in grad school showed that proteins in packed cells have elevated kinetic rates and free enegry of ATP hydrolysis isn't the value measured at STP, by using PEG as a proxy).

If I were to attempt to do gene regulation studies by MD (I share your skepticism!) I would just put a bunch of PEG in as a water replacement.

In fact that's a paper right there- "Effect of increasing macromolecular crowding on the accuracy of DNA simulations for regulation prediction" :)
I measured startup of the runtimes a long time ago, and back in the days of node.js 010.x at least, Python 2's startup time was twice as fast as Node.js's, and Java's wasn't much worse than Node.js. I don't know how .NET fares compared to Java, but I imagine it's about the same.

Furthermore, eople like to compare runtime startup times, but this tells a very small portion of the story. For most applications, the dominant startup cost isn't the startup of the runtime itself, but the cost of loading code the app code into the runtime. Your node.js runtime has to load, parse, compile, and execute every single line of code used in your app, for instance, including all third-party dependencies.

Compare, for instance, the startup cost of a "hello world" node.js function with one that includes the AWS SDK. At least, six years ago, the Node.js AWS SDK wasn't optimized at all for startup and it caused a huge (10x?) spike in startup time because it loaded the entire library.

I would argue that the only languages that are a really good fit for Lambda are ones that compile to native code, like GoLang, Rust, and C/C++. The cost to load code for these applications is a single mmap() call by the OS per binary and shared library, followed by the time to actually load the bytes from disk. It doesn't get much faster than that.

Once you've switched to native code, your next problem is that Lambda has to download your code zip file as part of startup. I don't know how good Lambda has gotten at speeding that part up.

By 2019 standards the news, the politicians, the doctors, are all "complicit in the opioid crisis" because they didn't predict the present state of affairs back in 1999 (or thereabouts) and work against it.

If everybody is complicit then nobody is. It makes for eyeball grabbing titles though.

The call became the subject of a paper, "When Words Fail: A Single Case Analysis" (1988) [1], which contains the complete transcript.

The conversation is fascinating and frustrating to read. The paper breaks down the interactions to try to find out where exactly communication failed.

> Our investigation revealed that the participants had rather different understandings of what was happening and different expectations of what was supposed to happen in this conversation. Over the course of the interaction the talk of both caller and nurse-dispatcher (and her supervisor) operated to extend and deepen this misalignment. This misalignment contributed in a fundamental way to a dispute that contaminated and transformed the participants' activity: the eliciting and giving of information concerning the condition of the caller's stepmother was displaced by the activity of arguing. We were thus able to show when and how words can "fail," not in the sense of failing to be heard or comprehended but in the sense of failing to achieve the "meaning" they might be perceived as semantically conveying.

The paper is paywalled, but can be accessed with Sci-Hub [2].

It's about shame and control.

In your position I would assume I have rights of ownership and act like it until I was told definitively otherwise. He put in money, but you put in time and expertise, which is also a high-value thing. He can start a new company but he can't sell something he doesn't own.

Further, if you buy a product that was advertised, you are paying for an unwanted service. The price of the product must be higher than the product is worth in order to fund the ad campaign.
> Emergency response is not customer service, where you can just tell a client that you'll have to drop them because they berated one of the phone clerks and that's against company policy.

That's why it's good for customer service and their management to push back when people are rude and not accept excuses. Besides making life dramatically better for customer service, it helps train people to be courteous as a matter of course. They learn courtesy works and will tend to build an unconcious habit that's more likely to exhibit when they're in an emergency.

I think you're right about this.

Optimistically, it could represent a positive trade-off that replaces perpetual upkeep with upfront effort, and all-hours patching and on-call with 9-5 coding.

In practice, I think a lot of those fixed costs get paid too often to ever come out ahead, especially since ops effort is often per-server or per-cluster. The added dev effort is probably a fixed or scaling cost per feature, and if code changes fast enough then a slower development workflow is a far bigger cost than trickier upkeep.

Moving off-hours work into predictable, on-hours work is an improvement even at equal times, but I'm not sure how much it actually happens. Outages still happen, and I'm not sure serverless saves much less out-of-hours ops time compared to something like Kubernetes.
Some years ago, when I was working as production editor in New York, I had to manage a manuscript for a book of new-age woo that was trying to pass itself off as pseudo-science (one of these 'quantum magic' type books). Not only was the premise crap, but the author clearly did not understand even basic historical facts about science. I brought this up with the editor, who seemed surprised to be told that the author did not know what she was talking about. I'd guess the editor had not really read the manuscript very closely. I worked with the copyeditor to try to straighten some of it out, but it was pretty much futile.

The NY publishing system is set up so that editors spend most of their day doing tasks unrelated to actually editing their books, of which they have too many. It gets worse as you go up the food chain.

This is something I wonder about a lot. How long will IP be of value? IP only has value when it is completely secret or when a government enforces the monopoly for the owner. How can we expect governments to agree to enforce these monopolies reciprocally (or at all) as the cost of information copying and distribution continues to plummet? If a big country decided to drop out of the WTO, what would prevent them from just manufacturing anything they want? Would governments erect trade barriers?
Before you start, create a plan to stop

My #1 rule for ventures, especially with friends, is to create an “ejection seat plan” at the beginning. The ejection seat is designed to save friendships and prevent teams from holding on to ideas too long.

Write down a list of milestones that must be achieved in 1, 2, 3, and then every 3 months up to 48 months. Agree that either partner can choose to eject without blame whenever the milestones aren’t met. Agree how much equity will be retained in the event of ejection. Follow the plan.

I credit five inspirations for the ejection seat plan. (1) Tim Ferris’ “dreamline” concept from 4HWW, (2) news stories about “golden parachutes”, (3) my friends who learned this with me the hard way because we didn’t do it, (4) the Stripe Atlas guide to founders equity, (5) my friend who helped me validate that it can work.
