The person talking in the video is Jocko Willink [1]. He's written quite a few books, one of which is entitled "Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual"[2]. His whole concept is that increasing your discipline leads to more freedom.

How can one be free when they are a slave to their discipline? A great example is time, everyone wants more of it. The way to get more time is to not waste time. Being discipline with ones time is how not to waste it.

I'm far from the most disciplined person (practicing discipline is pushing the rock), but in the ~2 years since I really put more discipline in place it has changed me as a person. Highly recommended.

[1] He has podcasts, and many books. I suggest listening to Tim Ferris when Jocko was on as an intro.

It was deeper than a backup. I think before that, they mentioned backups were infected/destroyed before they could even be brought up.

The paragraph before your quote also mentioned an outside security firm gave them a patch of some sort as well.

So with the patch, removing all sources of the malware, and changing passwords, AND THEN replacing with backups? That's kind of what I imagined happening to secure the network.

The Linux-ported intel/AMD drivers definitely still trail the quality of and aren't caught up to the latest Linux versions -- but they are catching up, at least.

The FreeBSD wireless driver space is also pretty dated. Only 802.11N is supported -- the one or two 802.11AC WNICs that have support just run in the slower N mode.

In short, the situation is getting better and isn't awful (especially on nvidia graphics and wired NIC hardware), but the concerns TrueOS has are totally valid and won't be completely eliminated even if FreeBSD stays caught up in the graphics space.
The Dead Homer Society's take on it is basically exactly that—the show became what it was satirizing. Throw in a little TV-embraces-criticism-and-makes-it-the-new-normal (cf. David Foster Wallace) and everything else got more like The Simpsons, too.

It looks a little ranty at first glance but ends up being pretty damn thorough and convincing. By season 8 or 9 the show was transitioning away from its old self, and past that it's not really delivering the same thing it was in seasons 1-7 at all, so if you were really into that the later seasons may not scratch the same itch (or itchy the same scratchy?).

Just because white men are racially preferred does not necessarily contradict the conclusion that it is more winner-take-all than it has ever been.

White males are still the plurality in the US dating market. If just the top 20% of those get dates, that leaves millions of US men lonely.

At the same time, the Tinder and the OkCupid markets are slightly different (but overlapping) markets; the less strictly hookup-oriented women on OkCupid might accept a wider range.
I once visited a shredded rubber playground at 10,000' on a midsummer day. The sun was intense, and as a result the offgassing from the tire chips was so dramatic you could literally see a layer of gasses hanging over the mulch. (They were colorless, but your eye could pick up on the disturbance & shifts in the light) It reeked.
Loved it. Perfect.
They also quote the stock price and earnings per share as evidence for the decision being positive. But their quote was over a very bullish period for equities, without providing contrast versus other similar publicly traded companies, nor context (including: CVS’ higher than average share buybacks in part fueled by tax cuts)
It is 100% fraud, taking advantage of ignorance and selling people false medicine. There is nothing harmless about that. It prevents people from seeking real treatments, and there are real long-term consequences to public health that come along with that.

> Genuine question: why are the people who subscribe to this world view predominantly white men?

Going theory:

If you are constantly told "you are the most attractive category" and yet your personal experience is of not being attractive, you will wonder why that is.

If you have underlying assumptions about the attractiveness of certain qualities (wealth, success, etc), and yet having them is not felt to impact your personal dating experience, you will wonder why that is.

If you are told that your demographic category means that you _should_ be successful simply by virtue of being in that category, and yet you feel you are not, you will wonder why that is.

After that, I think, simple https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/DB6wbyrMugYMK5o6a/correspond...
I definitely agree that like these things aren't going to cause any sort of lasting brain damage or something. It gets overwrought.

I think that the taxonomy thing is kind of harmful though in that, as far as I can tell anyway, it only seems to be now that a lot of programmers are coming around to the idea that modelling things are taxonomies is less useful than other techniques.

Some code sins are pretty easy to cleanup: if someone writes a function that's doing too many things, it's not too hard to break it up, or if someone names things badly, usually it's enough just to rename it to better concepts. But deep inheritance hierarchies are often a massive pain to clean up, if you can even clean it up at all (outside packages might come to depend on your weird structure for instance).
THAT is the most sophisticated piece of software ever written? The description sounds less complicated than the was the perl3 interpreter.

I've heard the google search engine contains >10 million... no, not lines of code, source files. That might be the actual most sophisticated piece of software. Perhaps?
I can’t say homeopathy is at the same level as tobacco, but it is a fraud and unethical to push vials of water as medicine. French pharmacies make a killing selling these fake medicines. What’s unethical is that, in France, actual pharmacists promote that crap. It’s literally a placebo that they are claiming “works.” You could take an entire store’s worth of homeopathic remedies and you’d have nothing more than a full stomach. If they want to sell that stuff, they should put a label on it that says: “absolutely no active ingredients of any sort, this is just a product to make you feel as if you took actual medicine.”
Please keep in mind that "apoliticism" is in itself a political position: wanting to preserve the status quo and opposing change is still support for the status quo which, in itself, is a set of political beliefs.

“Low-impact” is a relative term and should be evaluated from multiple perspectives. While it may not impact the daily operations of the bank, people have suffered a lot of stress that could have been prevented with better bank security policies. It’s fine to paper over things that have no material impact on anyone’s life, but I don’t think secure banking fits that bill.
One of my favorite books, have read it multiple times, in two different translations. The book definitely had a stronger impact for me as the first time I read it, right as I was at the critical point of the work, the atrocities of Tiananmen happened. I have not yet read The Iron Heel by London but that is on my short list.
I love seeing things still being made for old computers.
If you know what kind of topics you find most interesting, you should put that on your list of preferences (combined with culture, location etc). If you have a weird mix like Biomedical Computing, Program Correctness, Computer Vision and you really like SAT solvers, finding out where the hotspots for those topics are can help you select a uni. I know of a few people that selected based on professors that would be available to them, and some that were purely interested in getting into any of the FAANG, that does limit your options and as a result should make your list much shorter.

I'm bisexual (male) and for a long time now I have had a lot more sexual success among men than among women (i.e. zero success in the latter case). I've been meaning to change this situation, so I tried Tinder with the settings adjusted, so that Tinder thinks I am only "interested in women". First try - no matches. Second try - one match, conversation ended with no explanation after 2 exchanges. Third try - 3 matches per day (here I tried different photos and a shorter bio). But it turns out that, even though men were quite willing to partake in one night stands, women - not a single one I matched with. Well... that's not entirely true. There were pairs who were willing to do that. And there were women looking for threesomes. I wouldn't want that to be my first time with a woman. Too stressful for a first time.

And I am not interested in a relationship. I've been alone for such a long time (not of my own volition, just didn't have too much success) that after all the time during which it was painful, this way of living got ingrained into me and I can't see myself sharing a life with anyone anymore. I do everything in my own peculiar way now. And if I wanted a relationship, I would want that to develop from a friendship, or generally more naturally, not "search for love" over the Internet...

I would like to have sex from time to time, but now it seems I can only do that with men. What a weird world I live in.
If you wanted a small fix as opposed to my preferred solution of burn it to the ground as an example to every other shitty industry. That fix would be to require insurance companies to be the primary bag holder. Not the patient. AKA a the 'independent' anesthesiologist can't sue the patient, he has to sue the insurance company. At least in that case everyone involved has deep pockets and a strong hand.

The reason I say burn it all down is medical billing would be considered outright criminal fraud and extortion in any other industry.

Imagine your mechanic engaging in surprise billing. Well yes my bill of $2500 was just for removing and installing the transmission. The $15,000 is the independent transmission rebuilders fee.
I’ve been going through this book lately and it is very well written. It’s one of the best introductions to Clojure and ClojureScript that I’ve found.
It's not. If corporations were people I would agree, but they aren't. Politics should be democratic. I don't want to live in a corporatocracy.

I still remember growing up as a kid, my parents would constantly monitor the CRT to make sure I wasn't watching the Simpsons because it was "not for kids" :)

I haven't been following much of the show but it could also be the writers toned down the content as the show progressed through the years to the point where Disney wouldn't mind airing it? It could also just be them recognizing the pull the Simpson has on viewers and they're using it as the initial bait to attract subscribers but have it pulled once they have enough customers? Who knows, but either way I do agree this combination was one I would've never imagined as a kid.
In theory simulators are very accurate. In reality they might be. I'd expect the simulator for an existing airframe with decades of service (like your 747-400) to be more accurate than that for a new airframe. The primary purpose of simulators is training, not testing. While both the airframe and its simulator are under development, substantial inaccuracies wouldn't surprise me. TFA quotes this dude's attorney thus: "The simulator was not reading right and had to be fixed to fly like the real plane." Is that true? Is that ass-covering? How are we going to find out from this dude's testimony? Other evidence must be examined.

TFA says this pilot had a hard time with the simulator. We also know that these planes crash very often. We can't just put those two propositions together to prove that the simulator predicted these planes would often crash in this particular way.

"Logic" suggests Bayesian analysis but you're working with too few bits. When you make an absolute-sounding posterior claim based on thin or non-existent priors, you risk losing sound inference in favor of pushing a preferred conclusion.

I'm disputing your absolute-sounding "Mozilla’s employees are fiercely liberal". Even if you define "liberal" broadly, are they all? Really, no moderates or righties? As I happen to know some, and so do other people, you seem to be using hyperbole at best, if not making things up.

Also your absolute, unhedged "If you have a conservative bone in your body, you are not welcome on the Mozilla campus." Again, counterexamples are known personally to me and others on HN such as @roca. So instead of persuading, you're exaggerating for some reason (to divide and conquer, to get sympathy, it doesn't matter -- the exaggeration is the point and it blows back, assuming you are actually trying to persuade anyone; perhaps you are writing not to persuade?).

Mozilla would have trouble with state law if they actively fired or demoted anyone over past political acts, per California Labor Law 1101 and 1102. Let's agree that is not the case.

That leaves subtler biases. You could be right, especially after I left, that anyone who is known to be "on the right" (conservative is almost useless as a clear political term) would face subtler kinds of hostility, skepticism, pressure. You are probably right about executives, but that's true at a lot of places. Anyone pushing buttons by boosting Trump at lunch or water-cooler time, wearing a MAGA hat, etc., would run into complaints and escalations.

But at this point we are far from your absolute, unqualified assertions about "are fiercely liberal" and "not welcome". See what I mean?

P.S. See https://robert.ocallahan.org/2014/04/fighting-media-narrativ... including all the comments. I'm not taking anyone's side there, but if it were as absolute and simple as you asserted, many righties would have quit too and we'd hear from them. If I missed such testimony, please link.
> Instagram: warm. The main content being communicated is all visual, and you don’t need to understand genre conventions as much. Instagram in its early photo filter days was fairly hot media, as is classic photography, but it cooled down when it became the de facto social status app. Now there’s interplay between what’s posted and how many likes it gets, and from whom, and other social dynamics like private versus public posting. There is still some ambiguity, but as a medium it’s more information-complete than Twitter or texting.

I just can't get behind this. Instagram, to my eye, conveys very little novel information. I tried it for a bit, but found myself gravitating to screenshots of Twitter, and other text. Photographs don't, to my thinking, convey much information. Instead, perhaps, they inspire recollection. They are a cool medium, and I think Susan Sontag's theory in e.g. "Regarding the Pain of Others" reflects this. If the image can be _used_ by politically cynical agents to achieve polar-opposite propaganda goals, then what information does the image inherently carry? Little.

> Cool sensory perception and cool media are low in engagement but high in participation. We are operating in gap-filling mode: doing relatively little engagement with the media (we’re only pulling in a low-resolution sample) but a lot of participation with the media (we’re actively filling in the gaps ourselves, and operating in feed-forward mode).

I struggle with the attempt to juxtapose, as opposites, the near-synonyms of "engagement" and "participation."

Facebook used for ethnic cleansing?

I'm not sure you should criticise others for hiding the ball or being dishonest when phrasing it like that.

Facebook is a website, a pretty trivial one at that. It isn't attached to flying weapons platforms, it doesn't command an army. It cannot be used for ethnic cleansing in any sensible use of English, no more than paper and ink or radio can be "used for ethnic cleansing".

So yes - your sarcastic statement is correct. If some African warlord goes nuts and starts mass killing his ethnic rivals, Facebook has sweet FA to do that with that, even if lots of his supporters are posting on Facebook. The problem lies with the people pulling the trigger, the people command them to pull the trigger. Don't try and spread it to Zuckerberg because unlike most genocidal ethnic cleansers, he happens to be a meek American you think you can influence.

We must remedy the damage done with speech using ideas and methods that aren't related to speech, somehow.

Yes, exactly. Speech doesn't damage things. People damage things. The conflation of speech with physical violence is exactly how you legitimise thuggery on campus, where crazed students are engaging in actual physical violence against people who are just presenting their opinion. And it's never, never, never acceptable to shoot someone who is merely presenting their opinion.

This seems to me like someone claiming that we can't do anything about drunk driving because "people need to drive to work."

This is a strawman argument nobody ever makes. Drunk driving is a precisely definable and measurable condition with precisely understood outcomes and is trivially avoided. "Bad speech" has no definition at all and thus can't be trivially avoided, as the ever-expanding horizon of what counts as offensive so neatly demonstrates.
Netflix’s issue is not the quality of content - it’s their business model. They are borrowing billions to create content with the only way to recoup the cost is mostly by subscription revenue. Their initial rationale was that they were building a content library that would have value. But, they admitted during the last conference call that subscriber growth was slow expectations because they didn’t have any new big releases. No one is going to are about “House of Cards” in five years.

Compare that to Disney’s library. People still care about Disney’s animated movies from the 30s and even adults are nostalgic about the 90s X-men animated TV show and the original Star Wars from the 70s.

Besides, Disney makes billions from their content from theatrical releases, video on demand, network and cable TV, theme parks, toy sales, etc.
