What is this supposed to mean? What is the point of having a phone number if you never give it out?

I suppose you can make outbound calls only with own number sending turned off, but that sort of diminishes the purpose of owning a phone number?

Hmm... Let me try and state my concerns in a less-inflammatory manner.

First, I apologize for the curt parent comment. I slipped from the argument dangerously close to an attack against you, as a person. That is not okay in any circumstance, and I am sorry I stooped so low.

I suppose I should explain my point of view here. I am not a fan of the United States' foreign policy history, especially state-sponsored coups. I just found your statement:

> China never send army or CIA to overthrow other countries.

Incorrect given the information I have access to. All world powers, including China, have and continue to practice "soft colonialism", or Neocolonialism. The infrastructure projects in Africa were meant to serve as a common example of this occurring. Here's a more concise example from the EN wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neocolonialism#China

Note that this does not clear the U.S. or western powers of wrongdoing. In the last line of the above link, it points this out quite explicitly.

This makes more sense, then, when we look at the context of this comment, which is the growing concern in the light of the Hong Kong protests across the world with how the Chinese Government (not people) is seeking to change outside cultures to be more palatable to their official ideals.

And yet in August we seized a Chinese shipment of fentanyl large enough to kill an entire state's worth of people. When China actually does something beyond lip service, then I'll believe you. Let's not forget, every major industry in China is controlled by the party. Whether it was a controlled substance in China is irrelevant to whether or not they're literally killing us by the tens of thousands a year.

I agree with most of your points. However, about this ...

> The threat from China has been existent and ignored for the past 30 years, the same 30 years that China rose from 3rd world country to the superpower it is today.

... I'm moved to note that it was Kissinger, as part of the post-WWII globalization effort, who helped China industrialize.

As I understand it, the idea is that war is less likely among nations, at comparable levels of economic and technological development, whose economies are strongly linked through trade.

The Soviet Union had helped China develop militarily, with tanks, ships, planes, missiles, and nuclear weapons. But it did a shit job, overall. So diverting China from ideological military confrontation to economic interdependence seemed like a smart move.

Longer term, though -- as you argue -- we have an overall stronger adversary than the Soviet Union would likely have become. They could have, with our help, destroyed modern civilization. But they arguably would have never dominated the world as the US has since WWII. As China may.

> War requires a lot of basic manufacturing capacity

A lot (if not most) of military machinery is still manufactured in the US. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman build our planes. General Dynamics, Oshkosh, and others build our tanks. Raytheon makes some of our missiles. In fact, here's full list of who's building our defense tech: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_defense_... -- As you can see, it's mostly home-grown and home-based American companies. We've done a very good job of keeping our most critical and sensitive manufacturing jobs inside the states.

It's mostly consumer goods manufacturing that's moved abroad. I don't see any particular benefit in bringing it back stateside. Making things in low-wage countries like Vietnam or China dramatically slashes costs for the consumers, allowing us American consumers to live a more lavish lifestyle. Forcing consumer goods to be manufactured in the U.S. would dramatically drive up their prices, and in effect be an indirect tax on the American consumer. Moreover, the U.S. is nearly at full employment. Who's going to staff the factories that will make consumer goods? With the extreme hostility to immigration we have under the folks in charge now, I don't see any new immigrants being let in to work at these new factories. Companies would be forced to build fully automated factories (due to labor shortage), and there'll be jarring period of high consumer goods prices while software engineers write code for new robotic/automated manufacturing of basic goods. Maybe in the end, this newly written software will (with its development cost amortized over time) allow us to undercut the prices of even low-wage human-requiring manufacturing and become a reigning manufacturer of all sorts of things -- but that benefit feels fairly remote, far-fetched, and hard-to-achieve.
> The story in a movie should be propelled by visuals (instead of mostly dialog or, gad, title cards)

Obviously both radio plays (no visual-- too bad we don't have more of these lately, and we're stuck with audiobooks as a mediocre facsimile) and silent films (no sound) can work extraordinarily well.

Good film uses both to its maximal advantage.

> I'd go so far as to say, any time a movie resorts to backstory-monologues or text, the director has failed.

I disagree. You can find lots of bad examples of this, but you can also find masterful tricks of unreliable narration (Memento); you can find simple context-setting for a foreign environment (Star Wars); you have stories that leap through time that would be impractical to show all of the events and require some text or narration so the viewer knows what's up.

Basically all of the rules of thumb really mean "this is often misused" and are not prescriptive.

I worked on this for multiple myeloma. DCA is nice but the concentrations you need for treating people gives them peripheral neuropathy, which isn’t trivial. But fwiw combining DCA with other drugs looks promising.

The issue is that cancer is polyclonal so there is a sub-population that predominantly relies of aerobic glycolysis, but the sub-populations that mostly metabolise glutamine or fatty acids will escape treatment... so you need a bit of a shotgun approach, in combination with traditional anti-cancer agents.

> Bear in mind, though, an ideal lot wouldn’t be full of only office workers. They’re parked there all day! Ideally you get shoppers, who turn over their parking spot every hour or two.

I wonder how much this actually matters? Money is money, whether it's coming from one person parked for 8 hours or four people each parked for 2 hours.

Sure, most lots will charge a somewhat lower rate for a longer period of time (i.e. the per-hour is less than three per-20-minutes, the per-four-hours is less than four per-hours, etc.), but if lots really do prefer short-duration parkers over longer-duration parkers, then it'd make sense for them to just not incentivize that behavior and charge a flat rate (or even invert it), no?
At my previous job (small ISP), I had several such machines running various public-facing services.

It was (as best as I can recall) perhaps a year or so after RHEL 6 dropped and, naturally, I was planning to use CentOS 6 for several new servers to be deployed (as most existing servers were running CentOS 5).

Unfortunately, while the 5.x releases of CentOS came out relatively quickly after RHEL, the first couple releases of 6.x were waaaaay behind! Around this same time, Oracle was pushing OEL over CentOS pretty hard [0], had recently announced their free public package repository (yum.oracle.com?) [1], and even had a "CentOS-to-OEL" shell script [2] you could run on existing CentOS hosts.

IIRC, it took them a couple months to get OEL 6.0 out the door, but it was still something like six months ahead of the CentOS 6.0 release! Fortunately, by 6.2 or so, CentOS had apparently got things figured out and were usually only two weeks or so behind RHEL. Yet, Oracle was still managing to push out minor releases and updates quicker. [0]

As these were public-facing servers I was about to deploy, the delay in releasing security updates was a big factor for me. I ended up deploying OEL6 on a number of new servers (although I never used ksplice, the UEK, or gave Oracle a single dollar) and continued to maintain them for several years without any issues that come to mind. I left $job right about a year ago and there were still a handful of those machines running then. Honestly, I would not be surprised to learn that some of them are still up and running today!

(EDIT: At least two of them are still up and running right now.)

(Side note: I had a 1U Sun server in one of our racks that hosted my personal web sites, e-mail, etc. From February 2013 until about three months ago -- when the hardware finally gave up the magic smoke -- it also ran Oracle Linux 6.)

(Disclaimer: I absolutely loathe Oracle and everything about them -- and ol' Larry -- but I still think that was the best decision at the time. Like many folks, I had high expections for CentOS once Red Hat took it under their wing but I've been quite disappointed.)

This ... it is incredibly easy to trap yourself into thinking large companies are even aware of everything they're doing in every little niche and nuance pocket of their operations. In many cases, there can be a growth area that had job requisitions approved for a high-growth investment in a small part of the company while the entire rest of the company experiences a massive layoff. This can occur both with central knowledge of the hiring in that small pocket of the company or without. Either way, the effect is the same and so is the reaction ... it just looks weird.

>I'm still waiting for the option to see the ads that I want to see.

This is not the revenue-maximizing ad. Expected value for the company buying the ad is proportional to the product of conversion value and likelihood to convert. "Ads that I want to see" corresponds to the latter, but is completely uncorrelated to the former.

For example, advertisers would rather sell a 1% chance of generating a valuable asbestos lawsuit lead than a 100% chance of generating a $2 lunch restaurant lead.
That's 48 combinations to design and test for.

Delivery of this kind is a three-agent problem: the company needs to coordinate between the restaurant, the driver, and the customer to make the whole thing work. This includes matching the customer to a driver who is in a good position to deliver on time. Keep in mind that the dispatcher, restaurant, driver, and customer may have no prior relationship.

You can do that at a small to medium scale without a lot of technology, e.g. taxi dispatch in a city can be operated by a small group of people in an office. But to scale such a service across an entire country, or the world, operating 24/7, is a massive coordination problem where technology can have a huge impact.

This is not what people are worrying about. We are already seeing, for almost 10 years now, a whole bunch of Unintended Consequences of dumb algorithms applied at global population scales.

Some commentators are worrying existing AI and it's unintended consequences and some commentators are worrying about purely hypothetical superintelligence and it's hypothetical consequences. I find it remarkable there's almost not crossover between the two sorts of criticism. Real AI is probablematic because it's just correlation dressed up as intelligence and it allows organizations to get away simplistic correlation/appearance based reasoning that they otherwise wouldn't be legal/ethically allowed to engage in.

Hypothetical superintelligence worriers recycle Pascal's wage in newer and sillier forms.
If my friend who owns real estate can be used as an anecdotal bulletpoint: At the pub last night he told me how he and numerous other property owners here in Chicago have people who are trying to start their own catering/dinner party businesses and will rent out airbnb's with especially nice/large kitchens to do all of their food prep over a couple of days, check out and leave. A couple of them graduated to being able to sign leases on their own commercial kitchens once their respective client bases grew large enough.

At first, he said he was confused why the kitchen of all places was constantly the most time-costly area of his properties to clean. Then one of the renters let him know what was going on.

Now there's an opportunity.

> If the Chinese economy is hurt more than the American economy that is one level of success

On the contrary, if the US economy was hurt, then its a failure. The point of "America First" is to care most about America, not about hurting others.

No. The only success is if manufacturing moves back to the USA. For example, Ford moved to Mexico. This is NOT a win for USA.

I think it would only be fair to put the cost of constructing roads next to that number since those are mindblowingly high as well. The first result I saw was that a 6 lane highway costs about $7-11 million per mile and that doesn't count the cost of all the cars that use it where as the first stat would count the train. I also assume that steel tracks last a lot longer than road surface which has to be rebuilt every few years. Also the cost of carbon emissions is often ignored in car price stats.

I could easily some universal way of paying to not see ads could be both more profitable for websites and less expensive for me. Because what I'm currently paying for mobile data and bandwidth at home in order to compensate for all the waste introduced by telemetry and ads probably amounts to a good bit more than what websites are making by serving me ads.

But at this point the trust is so broken that I probably wouldn't pay for it even if it did exist. Because I'd expect whatever beacon is being used to say, "Paid up, don't serve ads" to just be used as another way to de-anonymize me by the less scrupulous advertisers. Which, as far as I can tell at this point, is pretty much all advertisers.
Probably obvious question, but needs to be asked: do you have any tips? I'd love a 30 hour work week.
