I find Sam Harris' Waking Up guided meditation lessons the most useful (can find it on mobile app stores, the 30+ lessons are free and start off short and simple).

Until those, I thought meditation was inherently coupled with eastern mystic bullshit with zero benefits for anyone who didn't want to buy into a bunch of other baggage.

He has a book by the same name as the mobile app. The first chapter (read out loud here) is what first started convincing me that mindfulness was something I should seek out and develop: https://samharris.org/podcasts/chapter-one/

I started doing it while laying in bed before falling asleep. Ended up with a daily morning practice sitting up on my bench.
I think when I self-taught how to read public corporation financials, I did it just by looking up various definitions over time. There are not very many that matter. I did that when I was quite young, so I'm confident most any adult with even very basic financial literacy can do it in an hour to get started.

So for example, Uber, on Yahoo Finance (fairly simple data presentation):

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/UBER/financials?p=UBER

Columns displaying full fiscal years (you can change that to quarters optionally). And rows showing specific financial information, such as "total revenue" or "gross profit."

There are ~22 rows in a column year in the Yahoo data sets, each displaying different financial data. Of those, maybe a dozen are particularly important for an amateur to know.

So you'd look up the definitions for eg: revenue (sales), cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, SG&A (selling, general and administrative expenses), operating income, income before tax, income tax expense, interest expense, net income. Another that can be useful as a new or amateur investor, is EPS, or earnings per share.

Investopedia is a reasonable option for learning the definitions, although there are numerous sites that will work fine.

Shouldn't take more than an hour to look those up and learn them at a basic level. After a bit of practice, you can scan a multi-year profit & loss (P&L) statement in a minute and have a great idea of how a company is fairing.

A balance sheet can be more complex, although it can similarly be boiled down to a dozen or so things that by far matter the most. You can get the definitions for those things and learn them in under an hour, then practice reading balance sheets.

Then last but not least for an amateur interested in such, would be to acquire practice at scanning through annual and quarterly reports filed by companies with the SEC. They're often obnoxiously long and overflowing with low-value bullshit, however only a small amount of the content tends to matter. I think the best way to keep that under an hour, would be to have someone mark off the segments worth always looking for / looking at in the filings, such that you can learn to jump to those sections to pick out important information. Beyond that, getting good at digesting company SEC filings will take a lot longer than an hour.

I wouldn't attempt to take on all of these things in under an hour, it'd be unreasonable. An hour each to get started however is doable. Starting with the P&L statement.
The data ownership is very important for business world. The reason why we built our products for IoT ( www.bevywise.com ) as a more install able version is the data privacy and ownership.

We really see this largely in manufacturing industry. If not local, we should provide private servers and data security.
I never implied taxing on trust alone, I'm simply arguing against total financial surveillance. Taxing in the mid-20th century did not rely on trust alone and it was a nice mix of trust and manual investigation in suspicious cases. I think such a mix is optimal for a predominant number of human activities and total surveillance should (almost?) never be reached for.

You can apply the same style of reasoning to end-to-end encryption. Various actors are aiming for total surveillance in that area too, it is most likely a terrible idea and we have precedent that the world works reasonably well without it.
I think "Never split the difference" by Chris Voss is the better book if you can tolerate a bit of bragging.
I always try to learn how to say, "I'm sorry, I don't speak X" in language X. When I was in Japan I got an unbelievable amount of leverage out of being able to say, "Sumi masen, Nihon-go hanasei masen" which, of course, means "I don't speak Japanese" in Japanese. The local's faces would light up and often they would respond in Japanese despite the fact that I had just told them that I don't speak Japanese.

Its just interesting how the US military is simultaneously advanced beyond belief. And behind the times.
You've already discovered the remarkable tablet so I'm just going to say that I'm a huge fan. I use it quite heavily for note taking. I can't recommend it enough. You may find second hand units for cheaper, since they've been around for a couple of years now and there exists a large majority of people who weren't really heavy paper users but bought it for the sake of novelty.

That said, if your primary problem is going through a lot of books quickly and you cannot afford the remarkable, even a used one, you may want to consider something like:

I bought a 40% split keyboard and had my mouse inbetween the halves and it relieved my joint pains. Now, I work on old mainframes and need up to function key F24, but otherwise the 40% works wonders with thumbs on modifier keys.
I personally don't agree with the interpretation that drug control is a federal jurisdiction, but that is the status quo. Your second statement is true: Federal law DOES apply across all states. State law does not nullify or override this. There was a damn big bloody war over that question.

Allowed does not mean legal. That's why it is still illegal, but unenforced, in several states. A state CANNOT legalize a controlled substance. To trust lax federal enforcement + state "legalization" is not a wise move. But practical.

And besides, security clearances come from the Feds not the states, so who's laws do you think they go by?
The modern AI/ML is more like we throw a lot of data and we generate a model, we know that it works but we have no idea how and why.

Basic social skills. How to make small talk, especially with non-technical people. It's easy to learn, but if you're a hacker then it probably doesn't come naturally and so it must be learned. But you will get enormous leverage out of learning it.
Interestingly, Steam's recommendation algorithm to show "similar to a game" by their 'learning machines' works very well.
I have found really good games via that, and none of them did show up in the regular recommendations/carousel on top.
I have to say while subreddits like /r/cringe bother me in some ways I’m thankful for them because after growing up homeschooled and relatively isolated there where a lot of subtle social ideas I really didn’t understand. I think without them I probably would be a lot less pleasant to be around.
Also <b> and <v> have merged in a lot of versions of Spanish. The <v> is postclassical but represents /w/. A minimal pair for these in Latin is bis 'twice' and vis 'force'. (Well, not quite, because of different vowel lengths... let's try bilis 'bile' and vilis 'vile'.)
Learn an aphorism by heart and think of situations it applies to. Pick something important that you believe in. Then, over time, you'll remember the aphorism in various situations and slowly adopt it as a life value.

Examples:

- Getting what you want will not make you happy.

- It's hard to get what you want. But it's easy to want what you get.
Sure, any one company probably will - but there’s a whole market.

As soon as that one company abandons the local-first model, a gap opens, which will (usually, eventually) be filled by a new company offering local-first until that new company does the same.

As long as the companies don’t band together and agree to end it, there should be a company offering that model somewhere somehow.

Probably everyone would be silent as well if someone said "Steve Jobs sucks". This anecdote is meaningless TBH.
This is the first thing I talk about when someone asks me what computer science teaches a person and how it relates to real world. It covers a practical example and lets you touch on topics like algorithmic complexity. And it takes 5 minutes to explain. So I fill the rest of the time by demonstrating a simple sorting algorithm on paper and I finish off by drawing a simple maze and solving it with breadth first search by marking squares with numbers.

Learning vim is 1% of skills at most. If these people can’t really afford to learn vim, how can they can learn I don’t know, React or Django.

(I think Vim is employable: being able to quickly edit a file in any Unix-like environment is very helpful. But that’s off topic.)

Anyway, if nano is not good enough there are hundreds of other decent editors available. My point is: “VS Code is good because vim is hard” is a very weak argument. VS Code is good, no doubt. But if it a teacher forces students to use Vim, and students have problems with Vim, then the problem is not in lack of VS Code.

OK, but your idea worthiness isn't what gets a clearance.

It's "follow federal law" and "good judgement". Both of which, Elon, epic fail.

Yes, a lot of people with clearances probably smoke. But they do it on the DL, not TV. Bad judgement #1. Break federal law, on purpose, to make some point #2.

Dumb.
How to Join the AI for Good Movement
I use mine practically every day.. Scribbling feels awesome and one of the most recent updates made it feel even better.

The only downside is that undo seemingly has gotten a bit slower, so it's often much faster to erase than undo.

Except for that I really like it.

It's expensive but I think it's well worth it and it has definitely replaced paper for me.
I also expect it to vastly outlive an iPad or Android tablet.
Same experience here, I feel Docker Swarm is a bit underappreciated. I have experimented with Kubernetes but Swarm seems a lot simpler when you have a mix of stateful and stateless services. You can have many of the benefits of an orchestrator but still manually manage volumes, and configuration files are very understandable.

I'm looking forward to that.

It's another reason to use multiple well-isolated personas.
I have no personal experience whatsoever with these, but the Corsair keyboards have a very bad reputation among mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. Allegedly the keycaps are made of low quality ABS plastic, and because some of the keys are non-standard size, you can’t easily find replacement keycaps.

Among mainstream brands, Ducky and CoolerMaster are supposed to be much better (I have no experience with these either).

Can't you claim, that if probe reached R+0.5m (which you could potentially see), and then subsequently BH grew to R+1m, that probe's last blink happened in the area, that later became BH?
I bet the performance would look different in a real program anyways. The random input data probably results in more branch predict misses than would occur in normal text, and the tight loop of the benchmark basically ensures the lookup table is always in cache.

Founder here,

I built this app to summarize any News/Blog articles or Youtube videos into a few lines of text. It saves me time and attention from having to go through an entire article or video, instead, I can read the summary and decide if an article is worth my time to read further.

The app can be accessed as the website or via Zapier integration for those who are interested in automating their process. I have put in free and paid subscription plans as AI resources are not cheap to operate :(.

I integrated it with Zapier so that summaries can be automatically generated for content originating in from RSS feeds, Emails, Bookmarking software like Pocket, Youtube channels, etc

Looking for feedback!

Zapier users can click here for the beta invite of the integration https://zapier.com/developer/public-invite/64050/536dc46f726...
There is also a great deal of fetishizing of these black programs and post-hoc creation myths that assume a level of advancement that simply does not exist and did not exist at the time. As a simple example, you are confusing the Pioneer drone (developed in the late 80s, deployed in Desert Storm, basically an RC plane with a video camera) with the Predator. The Predator was not ever used in Desert Storm and in fact the program was only started just prior to that conflict. Given that drones have existed since the 30s and the initial base that was used to develop the Predator started as a cruise missile, which have been widely known since the early 80s, I am not quite sure why you think drone development was a surprise to anyone other than the casual, ill-informed public.
Apparently 41% of the land in the contiguous US is pasture or grazing land for livestock (548MM acre). Just staggering.

To compare, land we use to grow crops that we directly eat account for for ~77MM acres.

From what I gathered, it should be laggy. I mean, you have to have a killer Internet speed to pull this off and even then - the inconsistency and fluctuation of speed are just natural. Waiting a bit to see how this will be solved
You've gotten a benefit from having an indirect object expressed with a preposition, but presumably a lot of verbs don't take an indirect object and don't have a synonym that can.
My favorite knots to add to your list are adjustable grip hitch (AGH), siberian hitch, and zeppelin bend.

The AGH is super easy to tie and very versatile. The Siberian is useful for tying a rope around a static object such as a pole or a tree. Bends are rarely useful for me since I rarely need to join two ropes together, but if you are going to learn a bend, you might as well learn the most beautiful one.
How doesn't that just become a way to buy crap you don't need, or to undo any potential savings you might gain by losing time hawking over a "deals" forum?
It's better to accept a tad more complexity upfront than having to figure out midflight how to scale an unscalable solution.

Perhaps another good example is how voat failed to capitalize on reddit's mass exodus because mostly their service was rendered unusable by their apparent inability to scale.
I purchased “The Food Lab” by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt and it completely changed things for me. He spends an extensive amount of time in the book describing techniques and tools in a very hackerish kind of way that finally taught me to cook at a level closer to my wife who spent her earlier years working in restaurant kitchens.

Cooking eggs, in any variation, is discussed at length in the book and it’s well worth the read.
I don't think so, the videos I was referring were music videos. I engaged with it in a way but hitting dislike on a music genre I don't want to listen(I normally don't dislike things because is not my genre) in the hope the algorithm will learn but it was even worse, it did not learned that I disliked artist X and genre Y it continue to play the exact video that I disliked,

The bad algorithm will force the unhappy user to use manually created playlists leaving less people to engage with the algorithm and probably have the algorithm getting worse in time as more users will avoid it

And even more interesting trying to google "how to make youtube not show X" it is a complete fail, it will just show you youtube video results.
I've never seen those, nice! I like the cute and minimalistic design with no labels. It's advertised as a "Single-Handed Programmable Mechanical Keyboard", a unit having 48 keys (in 4 groups of 4x3) - I see, so one for each hand. It being programmable sounds great, one could position characters and modifiers any which way to please.

Just curious, I suppose you've placed labels with your own mapping - or do you use the keys blank like that?
News at 11: PCI out performs fiber connection over public Internet
You're aware that DVDs are older than Netflix and MP3s are older than Spotify?

They absolutely used to be preservable until an enormous technological effort was made to make them non-preservable. The amount of people curating their CD (or later MP3) collections showed they cared very much.

> If you really love a certain movie or song/album, you will buy it separately. Why not the same with games?

Because it's not clear at all that this option would still exist. From a publisher's perspective, it's vastly preferable to just sell access to your game and keep the actual binary under wraps. So if there is a way how they could realistically do that, I don't think there will be much motivation to also offer the game as standalone software.

Or, to be more precise, you'll able to "buy" the game alright, but what you're buying is just access to the game on a streaming service, not an actual copy.
I feel like some of the European CS programs have really neat stuff in them. I’m not sure more than a passing mention of Unicode or any of its encodings (just assume no one uses more than the first 255 code points and it’s encoded in UTF-8) was ever made in any CS class I took.

I guess assembly made a little more sense 8 years ago and they only had so much class time but I wouldn’t have minded a “decide utf-8” assignment. It would have been another good practice doing bit manipulation which is kind of difficult to get right in C++.
It definitely would. It would display some kind of arrogance and rule-flaunting. Not just regular-joe speeding. So yes, it would be viewed very negatively by both clearance and wall-steet. It's just poor judgement.

To have a mistress is fine. To get caught in a public spectacle is bad judgement.

I remember MySpace being a place where I could explore the ideas I wanted with people all over the world.

There was a clear, forum-inherited structure to most groups. It kept me coming back, day after day.

Google+ had a similar appeal - I dont know you, I dont care. I like what you have to offer, so I'm getting to know you.

Bridging that into meatspace relationships by frontloading them first? Was straining - I realized how little my peers cared for what they even do. Flooding that feed with game-spam? Negated the premise. And turning it into infinite-scroll of bad takes to drive engagement just turned me temporarily, but deeply misanthropic.

Turning online into afk relationships and friendships made all of this worthwhile. Facebook had that for a bit with their "events" features... But those got nerfed into being useless without an advertising firm's budget.

I, for one? Am happy to join somewhere that respects my time.

Description: Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net
Speedtest.net is a webservice that allows you to test your broadband
connection by downloading a file from one of many Speedtest.net
servers from around the world.

This utility allows you to use the Speedtest.net service from the
command line.

Note: This tool accesses speedtest.net over http, while the web-based client
uses websockets. This tool has shown to become increasingly inacurate with
high-speed connections. For more information, see the readme on:

I wouldn't want to go any smaller, I already have an extra 'super' key to access F functions, and I already have minor issues just with the physical size. Maybe I have big hands? Either way, I like the desk space back, but I think there are limits here.

For something that is designed for a personal area network, the range suffices.

The problem comes in with poorly designed products, cheap antenna designs, or just space limitations. BT Earbuds don't exactly have a lot of space in them.
