Your view appears to reject the study of history as a valid means of inquiry.

I certainly agree that a lot of the apparent causal chains that we take for granted are very suspect. But it's deeper than that. One can say "The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the cause of WWI" and maybe that's true in a sense. But if Ferdinand had not been assassinated, would there still have been a great war in Europe? I think there are a lot of reasons to suspect so.. maybe it would have started a few months or years later, and maybe the details would have worked out different... who knows? That's the problem with history: by definition we only get access to one view of things.

Now, IF the universe truly is strictly deterministic and things can happen only one way, then I guess it's all a moot point. But I'm not sure I accept that.
Many Native American folk tales there are suggest a similar form of exogamy, where daughters leave the tribe to find a partner and new community to be a part of.

What effect would this kind of exogamy have? It might lead to a fair standardisation of the domestic arts, since women "from everywhere" came together in each tribe and could compare and adopt methods. Whereas, the arts of the hunt and the art of war might remain fairly distinct in each tribe.
Exercise doesn't really work for everyone. I found when I used to have trouble sleeping, heavy lifting made my sleep 10x worse (and still messes with my sleep now when I try it every now and then). Light to moderate exercise tended to improve my sleep, but the improvement was fairly minor. CBT-I and getting some bright light in the morning, on the other hand, were complete game changers for me. I've gone from sleeping maybe 5 - 6.5 hours of poor sleep a night (waking up multiple times, early waking), to normally 7 - 8 hours of good quality sleep and the improvement has been consistent for the past few years now.
That would be some seriously short term thinking though.

It’s a good idea to create a bootable backup and come up with a clean install of macOS with each major release. Every time I updated the existing system straight up, I had minor or major issues solved by a clean install.
The new OS comes with new versions of apps, and that's usually fine because they're either fixed bugs or added features; the main problem is Apple's internal culture that seems to be preaching "change is good, constant change is always good" --- as I explained in this comment I made a few days ago, the love of constant massive internal changes to their code always tends to cause such bugs:

I wonder if this was government pressure. I think it was only going to be 50% denominated in US dollar. Making it easy to effectively (partially) transact in other currencies must not have gone over well.

EDIT: I assumed that Libra would be for many, many small transactions so banking know your customer KYC regulations imposed on banks in all countries by the US and other governments would not really apply. Also, does something like Apple Pay also fit the need for people paying people in other countries small amounts of money?

I don’t support the conspiracy theory, but the shortage isn’t potential robotic missions, it’s money for missions.

Frankly, I believe that following your advice would be completely counterproductive for them. If Trump and recent politics have proven anything to me it's that when you are the focus of media attention, admitting fault and apologizing is always the wrong thing to do from a PR point of view. Apologizing never wins anyone over, but it does alienate your supporters.

It's unfortunate, and it's counterintuitive because it's not what makes sense in everyday life. But a media circus is not everyday life.
Any inverter is expensive. I am currently pricing out a small system and just found out today the battery ready inverters don't cost more. In fact I am going without batteries due to a niche use case, but the inverter will be battery ready just because it (SolarEdge) is the best deal overall for the system. You are right about battery cost, but just having one that can get you (frugally) through the night would be a world different than just being shafted.

As to battery requirement, I can't see how attaching a wire to a panel would cause it to burn up. The wire would charge and then it would be the same thing as if the panel was disconnected with the same amount of latent charge in the panel.
Agreed. Regulations like keeping fires/campsites at least 100 feet from roads are important. A casual glance at rules like this feel overbearing, but without them, the whole feeling of the park would shift.

>You can Google the legal arguments, but suffice it to say that the legislation creating the SEC is old and vague, and anyone, including the SEC, who says that their characterization of tokens is absolutely correct is misleading you.

You've got that backwards. It's the crypto boosters who really, really, really want to avoid securities regulations who are misleading you with nonsensical, contorted non-arguments.

The SEC's characterization of tokens is absolutely correct, and the only people telling you otherwise are those who had hoped to make a buck off of avoiding regulatory scrutiny.

>This doesn't mean these companies are willfully ignoring the law or aggressively pushing the envelope

Yes, it does, without question. The companies doing this are trying to run exactly the sorts of scams and schemes that the laws were designed to protect against.

I would like to see the predictive value of this study vis-a-vis greatly increasing electric car usage. Holding all variables constant (keeping temperatures level might be tricky), we should see some crime decreases, particularly in Oslo Norway, where electric cars are now > 33% of new sales.

This sort of thing has happened before. Lead was removed in the late 70's, and, lo, 20ish years later, crime rates dropped -- perhaps, for the reason there are fewer neurological impacts growing up without airborne lead.

When my father used to do research in the 60/70s the way they got a paper was to write a (paper) letter to an author asking him for a copy, put it in the mail, wait for a couple of weeks, and then get an answer from the author with the paper. It was simple, easy and straightforward.

I'm surprised that you're surprised. Even ignoring Blizzard game players who don't follow the news, and ignoring (presumably Chinese) players that actually support the Chinese government over the Hong Kong protest movement, some percent of players are going to react by saying, "I don't agree with what Blizzard did, but I still like playing Overwatch/Hearthstone/Warcraft."

If you can reproduce this (I suggest using a VM, they're perfect for this sort of thing), it would be great to write it up as an article and get more visibility on it, because removing files that it did not put there is a really really serious bug.

Microsoft suspended an update after reports of data loss, and was still severely chatised for doing it (explicitly deleting files it did not create without asking permission first): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18189139

I'm a long-time Windows user, have put files in the roots of drives (maybe this is not such a common thing for Mac users to do, but nonetheless the OS should not assume...), and have never had any OS upgrade remove them. It would be interesting to see what, if anything, Apple will do in response.

Since I have been in a position to do so, I tried to push for coding challenges, and base tech IV on the assignment itself. Your blog post about hiring has been my biggest inspiration on doing hiring. I hired 10+ people in 1.5 years this way, and I would rehire 90+% of them for most roles. I do see difficulties about practicing it though:

1. When you don't control all the HR process, you can't guarantee that the tech assignment is the main filter.

2. Because resume are generally so useless, if you look for a lot of people, you need to be able to review assignments very quickly. Also, to convince people to do the assignment, I make sure to have a phone call before the assignment, which is time consuming since there is no filter.

3. Writing good assignments is hard. You want something that does not take much time (half a day max), is quick to review, interesting enough for the candidate.

I have also not been able to make sure the assignment is the sole filter. I still filter at the (single, < 90 mins) tech IV. But that is at least partially because of my domain (ML engineering), where profiles are more diverse than pure software engineering.
> The only ideology, the only Belief, that should not be tolerated is the belief that ideology must spread through violent means.

Interestingly, if you merely outlaw the use of violence, then you have already countered such an ideology. And, thus, there is no need to concern oneself with the beliefs of any ideology.

What's thin at Apple? They aren't the thinest by a long shot now a days. They aren't the lightest. They aren't the most powerful. There was a time when a Macbook Air was kind of thin and light compared to other laptops. Now it's neither by comparison to the competition. Plenty of thinner lighter more powerful laptops. iPhone nor iPad is also not even remotely the thinest. There was also a time when a Macbook Pro was a top end laptop. That's long not been the case, in particular the underpowered GPU. I own them all but am tired of waiting for Apple to lead again.

> I always find it strange when OS updates affect apps in this way. It just shouldn't happen.

Right? Are there not automated tests for this stuff? I would expect that if you commit something that causes this, the next day you get an email that says, "your name is on commit $FOO, which caused regression tests to fail in tests/firstparty/apps/mail; please fix it (sincerely, Jenkins)" or so. Heck, it's more egregious here because it's a first party application, but it seems like it would be in their interest to keep copies of the most popular third-party applications and include those in their test suites as well. ("Hi, Adobe? Hey, it's Apple. Hey, so this is a heads up that Photoshop doesn't work with the new OS version; we're sending you a RCA so you can fix it before it hits end users.")

I promise I've met worse racists than you have, and if you ask why they believe what they do, they talk in terms of self-defence. That they were minding their own business until group X took their jobs or killed their kin or stole their culture or broke their laws or left them destitute or insulted their people or took over their government. There is always a self-defence reason, and even more inconveniently, the ones with good memories can always cite lots of examples (which is inevitable, because it's a big world, so you can find genuine examples of anything).

Would they use the words "free speech" and "tolerance"? Probably not. But "standing up for yourself after being attacked unprovoked" and "justifiable intolerance of intolerance" are the same argument, with only superficially different wrapping.

The intellectual dark web (IDW) is a neologism coined by American mathematician Eric Weinstein, and popularized in a 2018 editorial by Bari Weiss. The term refers to a group of public personalities who oppose what they see as the dominance of progressive identity politics and political correctness in the media and academia.

Frank Herbert isn't exactly known for succinct, catchy one-liners. Here's at least one I recognize from the book, "Fear is the mind-killer":

> "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Sure, Dune may not be as big as LOTR or Star Wars, but before the blockbuster films, what catchphrases from LOTR were (are?) remotely commonplace?
