> In the vast majority of cases, it means some large part of your lifestyle's gone wrong.

That's misleading. Lifestyle changes can have a significant positive effect, but that's also misleading, because you have to account for the often insurmountable inertia that old behaviors have.

Furthermore, the most reliable predictor of manic depression in later life is more than 2 traumatic experiences before age 7. I might be misquoting the figures slightly: it might be 3, not 2, or 10, not 7. However, the point I'm making is that in many cases saying that depression is caused by erroneous lifestyle is plain wrong.

I agree with you on medication, it has it's place, but it's hardly the end of the story. I personally don't take it, because I feel that my case is more suited to a different therapy, though I feel a bit silly about never having tried it. I think that one of the best things you can do is try a lot of things, to see what works for you.

Great discussion. I also think that the more we talk about it, the more and better solutions will start appearing to solve all the problems that come with choosing DNS providers. There is also one issue that we don't discuss too much. I understand that by selecting a private DNS resolver over the ISPs DNS, you still provide your info to that resolver's operator, and they can monetize it. And here I see one crucial thing - choosing the provider that HAS to collect your data over choosing the provider that doesn't do it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but basically, any DNS provider located in the USA is required to collect and store your data by law. So it's not only easy to use that data for monetization, but also they would be required to give all that info to the gov if needed. I was going through a list of most popular DNS providers, and I didn't quite like what I saw. But I found this Trust DNS app (https://surfshark.com/trust-dns) that as a product from Surfshark is also located in the British Virgin Islands. So technically, they are not required to collect any users' data, and they state that they don't. There is also an option to switch between DoH and DoT. The only downside is that it's only for Android right now. Any thoughts about it? Are there more options that are not based in the USA or other 14 eyes countries (or well, China)?

The article contradicts itself.

It starts with polio vaccine, which was an amazing product that people needed. It as not a hard sell at all, lots of people died because of polio.

Then he puts the counterexample with penicillin and says it took 20 years to sell.

But it is wrong in the sense that it took 20 years in developing the industrial process that made penicillin cheap. Not because people did not want it, but because it was a real hard problem to solve.

I read years ago a book about the history of Penicillin and there were tremendous technical roadblocks that made the industrial production of it a chimera(until they were solved). I believe they won the novel price for solving this technical roadblocks(the industrial process, not just the discovery).

You can't analyze it backwards, from the point when all these roadblocks were solved and say, hey! people did no like it!

The equivalent today is nuclear fusion. It has technical roadblocks that makes it a chimera until they are solved. It is not that people do not want nuclear fusion, it is that they doubt scientist will solve the roadblocks so financing is very weak.

The real problem is that nobody(or very few) believe in what does not exist, what they can not see. In the Bible it is called "Faith". Innovation is by definition creating something that did not exist before.

Innovation needs people that could see the future as real, even when it does not exist yet. They are called visionaries, and are highly problematic people. Most people can't understand them, because they are dreamers, "pie in the sky" people.

By the way, most of those visionaries are wrong in their visions, and consume the wealth of those from the "real world" that trust them. 9 out of 10.

In fact, for a long time inventors were considered "Snake oil" salespeople, scammers.

The only difference is that today failing 9 times out of 10 is considered normal business and VCs approach it like a numbers game: They know the 1 out of 10 that success will pay for the failures.

The article makes a wrong assumption: That technologies are fixed and finished, you sell them and people do not want them.

But that is not the case, technologies evolve continuously: Take lithium batteries:They have been improving 7% a year, looks like nothing but it is exponential change, you see 10 years, 15 and the product is completely different.

I bought a RepRap machine when 3d printers patents expired. It was crap, nothing to do with RepRap machines today once 300.000 or more printers have been sold, and in the future when millions of 3d printers are sold the change will accelerate more, because more people will use and modify their printers.

Electric cars, solar panels, wind energy technologies evolve. When they are mass produced, prices get cheaper, as they get cheaper, more people want it, as there is bigger market, more companies invest in R&D, and technologies improve more.

Of the first three stories I can talk only about Star Trek, and there I'd be inclined to disagree. While the shows do focus primarily on Starfleet, the Federation that exists in the background is a proper utopian, democratic government, and the civilian activity in space is very large. So I never got the sense that technocrats left anyone behind; Starfleet is portrayed as a "military" run by pacifists, focused more on science and exploration than force projection (to the point of the fleet flagships housing lots of civilians with their families).

(As a teenager I loved this adventure and exploration focus; as an adult, I wish they had explored the Federation as a government and society a bit more.)

I haven't heard of CoDominium before, and The Mote In Gods Eye is on my todo list.

Come to think of it, I could sort of see the "technocrats leaving rest behind" in StarGate series, where most of the off-world activity, including bases on different planets, were actually run by the US military (later a cooperation of militaries and civilian agencies) in secret from the rest of the world.

Out of the relevant books I read, all featured either just human expansion (with no leaving behind happening), or alternatively remnants of humanity going out, with nothing salvageable left behind.

Re-reading your comment, I see you're focusing more on the "technocrats" aspect than "left behind everyone else". Honestly, having grown up watching Star Trek, I'm biased positively towards technocracy - but I guess it worked there because in the society the show portrayed, neither people nor organizations were dumb. Merit actually meant merit.
The sad part is compared to Amazon sellers on ebay have a reputation they need to protect and on Amazon it is more of an anonymous minefield.

I have tried to buy items from candies, coffees, and cookies, and it is too hit and miss. With regards to the cookies; needed a batch of fortune cookies and they arrived stale but on ebay there are sellers who make them! Coffee and candies are much safer sourced from a provider such as nuts.com who has their reputation to maintain.

Amazon nor its sellers have that issue. Amazon simply can point at the sellers and the sellers are too anonymous to care.

Out of curiosity, is there a standard in labeling for expiration dates? Surely if fulfilled by Amazon they can scan everything

I guess I don't understand your point. First, you say "that's not the argument", but then you make the case that Ice Cream production is qualitatively different. Yes, exactly! You don't have the depth of the supply chain or the level of interconnectedness in the ice cream factory as you do when you are building a jet with pieces outsourced that are moving parts that need to work together. A slight flaw in the wing tip will change the stresses on the plane, the fuel efficiency, will require software updates, and will trigger changes throughout many other components. Now change that from "flaw" to unknown factor. In that environment, it's really impossible to specify what the tolerances on everything should be in full precision, you need a team of people with a common purpose and short communication paths who can collaborate on fixing these issues in a cooperative manner rather than in a contractual vendor/supplier relationship. E.g. if there is a problem discovered in the design, perhaps you need some changes in the wingtip design and in 1000 other parts, and everyone needs to work together to make that change. Now, what happens when these are 1000 different companies working to spec, with lots of lawyers poring over the details of what was required. It becomes an unworkable nightmare. Only a true coordination talent with heavy doses of prescience could try to solve that nightmare, Boeing thought they had this coordination talent, but they didn't because no one does.

Such a talent is not a core competency of any firm.

More importantly, such a manufacturing process is incompatible with innovation, where you have to be able to make lots of mistakes as you stumble towards a better design iteratively. It only works when everything is known to spec before the contracts are signed -- e.g. when you are not innovating.

This type of design agility can't be extracted from the minds of conscientious engineers working together on a shared vision, and parceled out to for profit contractors looking to do spec work.

Similarly risk management certainly adopts a common language, but the idea that you can actually manage risk in a quantitative way is not something borne out by experience. Rather, you can cover your a$$ and say you have sign off from you GRC people so that when stuff breaks down you can point the finger at someone. We just exited a massive financial crisis, and we see security breaches on a massive scale, most of which happen in firms with well funded GRC teams. Again, wishing that you can control these variables does not make it so. Putting together a bureaucracy to control something doesn't mean that it's controlled.

Yes, robot technology is improving nicely. But many problems don't really need "robots". Often something far simpler will suffice.

For example, a "smart" moving base may replace waiters(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1cjhxEhq9Q) . i suspect this could have been built a decade ago. But something has changed, and we'll probably see many more such solutions.

> This is 2200m? 2.2km?

Yes, it's 136 kHz.

The NIST transmits the 70 kW WWVB time signal at 60 kHz (5000-meter) in order to inform you the standard time in UTC from atomic clocks. It was extremely useful before GPS, less useful today, but it still serves a hundred thousands of radio clocks, NTP time servers or so.

In the beginning of radio, even lower frequencies were used. The Grimeton Radio Station (callsign SAQ) in Sweden uses 17.2 kHz, or 17441-meter. The oscillator of the radio is not an electronic oscillator like a crystal, but an extremely fast AC generator with moving parts rotating at one million RPM, invented before vacuum tubes and subsequent establishment of "electronic engineering".

This radio station still operates today for celebrations, and it can be heard by amateur radio operators worldwide with their homemade equipment (a computer soundcard can be the radio receiver, 17.2 kHz is audio frequency).

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimeton_Radio_Station

> haha Is this the kind of thing subs would use to communicate, for example?

You greatly underestimated subs ;-)

136 kHz is Low Frequency. Submarines use Very Low Frequency (something like SAQ's frequency), or Extremely Low Frequency, as low as 100 Hz, not a typo, it's hertz.

> What would the antenna look like?

Every wire is an antenna, you don't really need a "real" antenna to get the radiation out or pick up the signal. At low frequencies, the antenna is always inefficient, and one just needs to accept this fact and gets used to it.

Usually the antenna is built to be as large as practical, but not larger. If you are the military, you can build a multi-kilometer antenna, but if you are an amateur, it would be as large as your rooftop or backyard can fit, not larger, then you build an impedance matching network to make it usable (but it doesn't improve the efficiency of the antenna itself), and you put as much power as possible into the antenna.

Finally, receiving a large station is easy, when they transmit tens of thousands of watts, a small and inefficient random-wire antenna can pick up the signal from, e.g. WWVB or SAQ. It's how nuclear submarines receive one-way communication from the command & control.

Receiving a 1-watt amateur signal (legal limit for 2200 meters) is much more difficult.

The article says,

> home-built single FET 200 W class E amplifier, a 90-foot top-loaded vertical antenna, this gives me no more than 0.5 W EIRP, probably less.

200-watt in, 0.5-watt EIRP out, the antenna efficiency is 0.25%.

And it's a transatlantic communication from U.S. to Great Britain without gigantic military antenna and about 0.5-watt of radiated power, I think you can now understand the technical achievement here.

>in order to sell products, people are often "educated" into believing misinformation and myths that persist for generations

You're correct, but like I said, it takes a lot of money and time (a bit redundant since time is money, but it's important to stress the time window).

Such campaigns take years, with several ads being displayed with high frequencies, with opinion leaders paid to advertise the product, product placements, it's a long term game that the average company can't sustain.

Specially now that technology moves so fast.

What took decades to build, for example, with the cigarettes industry by using ads, doctors, movies, tv shows, sponsorships, and many other forms of advertising and media, also is taking years to reverse.

The vaping, e-cigarret industry is growing thanks to years of government backed campaigns about the health issues related to cigarettes, with the addition of new laws set in place to ban advertising and smoking indoors for example.

So it's not like the new technology of vaping and e-cigarrets is making the investment themselves to educate people, they are riding a wave. To make it clear, it doesn't mean they are not investing, but that they aren't making the massive investment to change people behavior.

I use a combination of Things.app, Notion, and Trello.

Fortunately most of my client work involves the use of Trello. Either I come onboard and institute a board/process that they can jive with or they have an existing board/process. That has been great. Trello is only as good as the person managing it, that’s important and methinks why a lot of people dislike it. I do a good job of managing Trello to fit the general framework of working and thinking that exists for each project or client.

For client projects Trello is the boss hog. Everything is stored there. Things will get broken out into sub-boards when necessary.

For personal stuff, it’s a combo. I use Trello to track things that have graduated from the research/idea phase into the action phase.

The research and idea phase I speak of occurs in Notion or more accurately on paper documents (no. 2, 2B Soft pencil!) scattered around my physical desk that eventually work their way into Notion. There, I enrich things with outlines and maybe full blown documents. For instance I used Notion to do a big documentation project for a client, exported as markdown, cleaned it up, and then forklifted it into their Github project wiki.

I also use Notion for all sorts of personal stuff. My homelab for instance is tracked there, with tables describing IPs/hostnames or hardware in the rack etc. The hierarchical nature makes it great to start low fidelity and go high fidelity.

I’ve got random article ideas there, some in outline and others in more detail.

Will come back and update this post with more detail shortly. Doing this via mobile and gotta jet.

I will echo afarrell though and posit that the tools are less important than the process. Determine the process and the outcomes before you choose your tool!
