> minimize the extent to which you require other people in the world to change.

That is the central point of NVC though. It isn't a mind trick to make people change, it is a framework for someone to communicate how they see the world without requiring anyone else to change.

Your rule 0 combines with NVC to lets conversations drift into meaningful topics while allowing other people to change only if they want to.

Your rule 0 without NVC basically means you need to rediscover NVC yourself or you have to limit your conversation only to the superficial. Which is workable but sub-optimal.
I’m not even sure what your argument is. That taxis+buses+cars on all adjacent and cross streets to Market are insufficient to get people in wheelchairs where they need to go?
The sort of rational/analytical (for lack of a better work) intelligence that people talk about is also just not that well compensated/required: you basically need enough to not get scammed & do skilled work, but the best paid people around are businessmen not nuclear physicists and theoretical mathematicians.
Once we have UBI we might consider year long "vacations", but before that making vacations much harder is unlikely to be a popular opinion.
My understanding is that it's also often heavily weighted to the early years, unless you have someone else's lesson plans to use (and even then, you probably want to prep and maybe do a dry run).

Just like any job, if 90% of what you're doing is new to you or something you have to develop yourself if vastly different than if 10% of what you're doing is new or something you're developing yourself. Given the actual in class time doing the lesson plans is fairly static, that means the non-classroom hours of the day, or your own time, is what is required to make up the slack.

I imagine teachers of fields that have lots of changes (or of districts or states that adopt whole new curriculums) have it worse than some others. At least if they care about doing a good job.

It would be interesting to hear what your family members have to say about their first few years teaching compared to later years, and what period your memories correspond to.
Why is it surprising that Microsoft did it? They had produced some of the best keyboard and mice back in 90's.
It's like someone thought what do people like?

'whales' and 'global warming' and 'island nations'

Then wrote a story.

How exactly do you create more whales other than not killing them across the world?

If lifting nutrients is good how about fuck the whales and do it with a simple pipe. The temperature differential means you can even harvest electricity from it and power the pump and a light bulb or something.

Then the whales and all the fish have more food and more babies and sink more carbon.

But that would be geo engineering, something else the upper-middle class death cult think is a sin.

No idea if he legit supports democracy in Hong Kong, but his HK tweets:

* Show primary evidence of Netease (Blizzard China) directly contradicting Blizzard’s US press release

* Cite where in the Hearthstone rules Blizzard illegitimately chose warrant for their action (the rules prohibit making Blizzard look bad in the public eye, not unknowingly disgruntling Chinese investors)

* Give context to dispel any benefit of the doubt for Blizzard and how its execs operate

Perhaps the man is an axe murderer... useful context, but at the end of the day there’s (for better or worse) useful substance in his message
Same find, in Australia. But they (Commonwealth) wouldn’t entertain any swapping of details. I was just on the phone to the service centre and I thought all was lost ... but of course they said “just take it to any of our branches and we’ll sort it out”.

So I lose the satisfaction of closure — who knows what happened to that thing after I handed it over — but this does feel like the most-safe option.
Typing words on a keyboard is not fighting anything.

Every time you interact on social media like twitter with a public message you disagree with you inform the algorithms that that message is good content. You amplify it.

Like a virus piggybacking on the immune system our intuitive efforts to subvert the message simply expose more people to the message.
Unfortunately, it's at the same grade as the pedestrian footway. That will lead to people wandering into it, and cyclists skipping outside it to overtake.

It would be much better to have a small drop, even if it's only 5cm or so.
I had a very similar experience with Pollock. I'd of course seen his famous drip paintings in books, and never understood what the big deal was. But seeing one in real life completely blew me away. Both the size of it and most importantly the 3D nature of it. The paintings aren't simply 2D images, but rather sculpted 3D surfaces that change as you look at them from different angles.
Someone registered and paid for a new Netflix account with my gmail address plus a point somewhere, which Gmail ignores. So I logged into the Netflix account, thinking it was actually mine and this was some misunderstanding. I realized that was not the case, so I to tried to get in touch with the person but no other info was available, everything was done from his phone apparently according to the account logs. I figured that reporting it to support would not do much since they too did not have his info and no phone number was on record, they would cancel the account and maybe the amount paid would be lost.

Finally the only way I found to notify the user was by creating/modifying Netflix users with usernames as short telegraphic messages such as "you registered", "using my email", "*@gmail.com is mine","contact me or change it". That message would be visible as the user opened up any of the Netflix apps or web app. It apparently worked as a couple days later my email stopped being primary on the account and never got any Netflix emails at that gmail inbox.

Actually, I am a huge fan of Logitech's TrackMan Marble Mouse and can recommend it wholeheartedly. I use it since about 20 years, renewing it every couple of years. I am sorry for your thumb, I luckily haven't had problems yet.

Before that, I have used various trackballs (Microsoft Trackball Explorer, several Kensington, Logitech Cordless Optical TrackMan) but came to stick with the TrackMan Marble. Especially, I dislike those requiring the pointer finger for clicking - I prefer the pointer finger to move the pointer. It is much more precise. Leaves the strong thumb to thumb the button.

And for the question on scrolling: I press one of the small buttons, then scroll using the ball both horizontally and vertically. This can be configured in Windows, macOS, and X.
I am going to ask this again, as I never receive a satisfactory answer when this subject comes up.

Isn't time all relative? Its just a number, which we adjust by an hour twice a year. It takes us a couple of days to get used to it. Can't people just be more disciplined and go to bed an hour earlier if they need an hours extra sleep? That's effectively what we do in spring when the clocks change.

I came to this conclusion travelling from Chile to Peru, going pretty much directly north. One country had daylight saving for summer the other didn't and on top of that there was an hour difference for time zone - so in total two hours difference. As I say, it took a couple of days to get used to it.

Can anyone give me a decent rebuttal to this argument?

Similar experience for my wife. Some teachers just don’t give a shit and never update their curriculum or materials and repeat the same drivel over and over. She on the other hand spent the majority of her free time developing new material and kids actually looked forward to her lessons.

Yes. I am aware of this, but it's a distinction that I've never really seen in everyday use of the Norwegian language. Basically, there's two common versions of the product, they have the same name, but one of them is pre-cooked. I've always used the pre-cooked one for oatmeal though. Which might not quite make it the common American oatmeal, I don't know :P

A common theme, the language often doesn't make subtle distinctions when it comes to food.
Have you heard of the StackOverflow CoC controversy where a larger part of the community, possible the majority, disagree on the exact definition of harassment of other people on the basis of gender identity?

Did you also hear about the Wikipedia Fram controversy where a large party of the community, including the highest democratically appointed authority (arbcom) disagree with the wikipedia foundation on what harassment is?

To take a random sample further from the past, a guild wars 2 developer accused a fan of harassment after criticism of the game story line got posted. The controversy lead to two developers being fired and the company posting a huge apology which said that criticism of the game story line is not harassment and any fan should be free to express constructive views about the art.

A rule that forbids harassment only has meaning based on how harassment get defined, and with current cultural environment that definition is all over the place.

An even more political loaded area, hateful rhetoric is quite common. Here in Sweden there were a brief suggestion to forbid it on the national broadcast channels, but then the idea had to be basically scrapped as the definition could never really be agreed on. If you have one political party using immigrants as the target demographic for all problems, and an other political party using males as the target demographic for all problems, should we ban both? That is not going to happen.

Protected category is interesting but a extremely US centric concept where the federal government specify a list of protected groups and anyone not on it is a free target. It is a list not even all the states agree on, as political views is sometimes added by specific states and others don't. The concept of an "official religion" is also one which is constantly debated, with groups like copyme trying to get included in the protected category. EU has a bit better and broader definition in Article 10, but the enforcement is mostly up to individual nation states.

I agree, however that modernization is only possible if the team actually buys into it, hence my remark about working alone or in a small team that embraces modern C++.
As somebody who's done a lot of life drawing, and a lot of classical stuff in general, I see the reason why it's no longer central to the curriculum. Ultimately, drawing is just another tool, just like stonecarving, crochet, or dance, and life-drawing is a practice that is good training for a specific use of that tool - portraiture - that was the economic lifeblood of art until daguerreotypes came on the scene.

So really the odd thing is not that they stopped doing life drawing classes. The question is, why did they continue for so long? It would be rather like doing an engineering course where a core competence was the construction and maintenance of steam engines.
Again, this is a solved problem in countries that have significantly larger pedestrian areas than San Francisco's Market Street. People use a variety of mobility solutions, including wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility scooters.

Pedestrian streets are, on the whole, beneficial to disabled people. There is more space, fewer chances of collisions, and crossing the street is trivial instead of harrowing. Go look in any city that has larger pedestrianized areas and see for yourself: it works for pretty much everyone.
I don't have a solution - only convention - i.e. the users have to make the process work.
Last week he had "Learning Haskell is no harder than learning any other programming language"[1]. This week we have:

> The program takes more than a few minutes and quickly spikes up to more than 3 GB of memory! What's gone wrong? Well, we used the strict version of foldl (indicated by the trailing tick '); BUT it's only strict up to "Weak Head Normal Form" (WHNF), which means it'll be strict in the structure of the tuple accumulator, but not the actual values!

As easy as any other programming language!

> Eh what? Word counting is embarrassingly parallel, at least for files.

wc does not make the presumption that it is working on a file that can be seeked into (and, more importantly, re-wound). in c++ terms, it behaves as though the source it is reading from is an "input iterator"[1].

if you are piping into wc, then you'll never be able to parallelise it. word counting a file is the edge case here, not the general use.

There obviously is a general algorithm for social skills; otherwise humans couldn't socialise.

However there is no algorithm independent from what other people say and do. So any strategy that doesn't involve carefully considering what other people say and do is bound to fail.
Historically, a lot more people died from smallpox than aircraft crashes. Does that mean we should focus on eradicating smallpox (again) and not on airplane safety?
Oceans are huge and human machines aren't anywhere near close to being as efficient as biological machines. It's an interesting idea, but I think we might see way easier wins by first simply stopping killing whales with everything else we're doing.

Yes: the distinction between pitching force from engine thrust, and pitching force from engine nacelle aerodynamic lift, is essential and, here, frequently elided.

MAX has more powerful engines with center of thrust lower than in NG, and they are both physically bigger and mounted such as to exaggerate an already increased aerodynamic pitching force.

The distinction is frequently neglected in discussion here. Both effects contribute to MAX's different handling characteristics, but differently in different flight regimes.

The result is that it is tricky to make a MAX fly like an NG, particularly while trying to conceal the system used to do it.

Honest grown-ups will be annoyed that a lost child refuses to come with them to the obvious "lost children" place, but they'll put up with it while somebody tries to figure out where the people responsible for that child are. Somebody with nefarious motives will probably need to take the child somewhere else though - by refusing to go they're protected.
The point is not to win stupid internet arguments with people so deeply caught in their cognitive dissonance there is no escaping for them anymore anyway.

The point is to prevent them feeling victimized and recruiting other people by stating they are victimized and censored. Do not underestimate the underdog effect.

The point is to engage them, debunk them, as thoroughly and publicly as possible to disinfect people who are on the verge of being recruited.

The point is not to insult and belittle and censor that blue collar worker deplorable because that person voiced some concerns about immigration for example (even misguided or even racist), because when you do, you create another Trump voter who might even go to a White Supremacists rally later, because at least those people take that person "seriously" (or at least pretend they do) instead of throwing a wave of name calling and open hatred.

The point is to have give the nazis and also the disenfranchised but usually also very hateful and misguided young, mostly white, mostly male fellow human being some people so eagerly call "incels" a place where they can vent their bullshit instead of venting it on the 8ch clones populated only with like-minded people pushing each other further and further, and also keep to an eye on them.

And maybe, just maybe, by not always being a total asshole to them (even tho they are total assholes to other people), not going for the easy "you're an incel nazi scum" kill, you will brick by brick dismantle their wall of mouthfoaming ideology.

The fact that other software does not complain does not mean it is not faulty/mismatched hardware. Linux will frequently trigger more faults (as an example, since it aggressively uses entire memory as filesystem cache, memory problems are highlighted even when Windows runs just fine).

Similarly, new drivers might be stressing the system in a way the old ones didn't (eg. cooling might be insufficient).

Not saying that is happening for you, but the fact that older Ubuntu or Windows work correctly is not an indicator of trouble-free hardware.
Other taxis operate on a government license, so this isn't really bitterness.

In Utrecht, Netherlands only busses and taxis are allowed in some parts of the city center, and this predates Uber/Lyft existing (let alone expanding to the Netherlands). It's pretty standard municipal policy.

Neither Adams or myself has assigned any more importance or worth to financial success than you have.

He merely observed that he expected a society of geniuses would be very different than they were, and I can’t for the life of me find anything wrong with that.

Remarking that someone with a disabled limb is ”lame” is not offensive; it’s just using a word according to its definition. Look up ”loser” in a dictionary.
> It's really no different with most drivers...

It is because they drive all day and do this for a living so "cutting corners" (literally or figuratively) will save them... something. A private driver may not find any value in doing this regularly since they may drive 30-60 minutes per day. You are more likely to cut corners in your day job because you know it very well and you feel comfortable doing this, even if it's not safe.

Whatever the cost in C, Haskell is incurring the same cost, unless it is using green threads.

The use of Abstract Expressionism as a deliberate propaganda tool to promote a politicised concept of "individual freedom" is well-documented.

If there's nothing of lasting value there, that would be - ironic.

I wouldn't go that far, but I also don't think you can recreate it with construction paper and Elmer's glue. As the OP says, a big element in Modernism is breaking (up) with the past, and you can only really do that once.

The thing that gets hung on a wall is a snapshot of a process, and in Modernism the process is more important than the snapshot.

What hasn't changed is the use of art as a status marker for the rich and powerful. Those glorious Classical and Renaissance pieces were painted for the same reason.

In Modernism the-thing-on-the-wall is more of a repository of intellectual, cultural, and historical and commercial associations as a thing to look at for its own sake. The obvious manual labour - the representational brushstrokes in traditional art - were replaced with the intellectual labour of commercial self-justification as a value in itself.

Essentially it's a semi-corporate sales exercise - which of course captures the culture around it much better than classical figurative painting would.

I've often wondered if there wouldn't be value in creating a series of truly world class reproductions of the great pieces of art and distributing them around the world.

If you want to experience the great works of classical literature, you can get them from any library in the world. If you want to experience the great works of classical music you can again pick up a CD at your local library, and most mid sized cities in the world have halfway decent symphonic orchestra with a rotating reportoar. If you want to experience the great works of art you have to jet set off to a dozen+ cities around the world.

The French have it firmly classified as a crime. Not just a crime, but a sign of a fatally flawed culture, with a language that doesn't make the discinction between this and bacterially processed cheese.

We have multiple versions, Brunost ("brown cheese") in different varieties that can generally be classified as mysost ("whey cheese"), which is the closest we get to a language distinction for this product that is distinct from cheese. I think the same term can be used for geitost ("goat cheese"). But all of these terms have the word "cheese" in them :D
