I'm not very well educated in the fields of history and philosophy so I constantly have to google for references to people or concepts I've only heard of before.

It's much more rewarding this way than how I went through half of the book in the past ignoring a lot of things I was ignorant of, but it's a way slower process.

It's an experience I'm thoroughly enjoying, but some of the characters described seem to me like they couldn't be real people, but this might just be that my way of thinking as someone living now clashes so heavily with how actual monks in the 14th century thought about the world.
I'm giving the author the benefit of the doubt on this for now, as, again, I'm very ignorant on this topic and he was an actual academic in the broader field we're discussing.
Few days back, I was thinking on similar lines about Instagram. It does not respect norms of our society. Consider this, our society deeply values competence but Instagram does not seem to take it into consideration at all. A user promoting his content or using proper hashtags or generating activity on platform will be promoted more than the user who just posts brilliant photographs.

Who I maintain relations with and who I don't is not other people's business similarly who I follow and who I don't follow should not be visible to anyone except me but that is not the case.

I can go on and on about similar things but the bottom line is everything on Instagram is designed in a way such that it generates more activity on platform and ultimately more revenue. This is true for almost all the social networks though. A social network that respects norms of our society and does not attempt at maximizing revenue at users expense will probably fill the void left by the existing ones.
I think google as a whole understands this concept. Isn't that why they've held off on the release of their self-driving car? I can't remember where I read this from but I remember an interview where someone said they didn't want to release their self-driving car to the world until it was X-times better than the average human driver, and extremely competitive with its price.

Sounds like a recipe for right-wing populism in a federal system like the US, where less populous areas are having the terms of their local economies dictated by unchecked market concentration of players in urban centers.

You’re not going to convince rural America that their rents should be driven up because an east coast private equity firm needs greater returns or that Amazon warehouse work is a good job because it enables high-paid tech salaries in Seattle. It’s a problem that has to be addressed because of the particularities of our politics and economy.

Then they will be welcome to not receive subsidies from the urban areas either. It is an adjustment that needs to happen. For work that must be done in rural areas, compensation needs to be greatly increased to offset the lack of conveniences.

Well more and more computing power in one place won't be carbon neutral. I disagree with this article. It's like writing that 100 meter building can be more efficient than 100 buildings. Yes it takes less space horizontally but it's more complex to power it and support people then make 100 same buildings and provide each with wind / solar power.
That's what decentralisation is about and maybe somewhere in future we start building self sustaining villages with own small networks that barely need to communicate with outside world instead of building giant networks that are inefficient. P2P FTW

Ender's Shadow is a great series. It complements the original story so, so well.
That’s a great story and I’m like your wife in that aspect, but just intentionally. Either way you’re lucky to have someone like that around, it can teach you a lot.

I’ve experienced very deep, fulfilling connections with strangers (friend of a friend level) and still haven’t found anyone being embarrassed by these questions, but of course nobody else needs to be around as it can quickly be embarrassing. It can also be softened with an honest “if you don’t want to answer I can totally understand” and move on with something else but almost always received a somewhat interesting response. In return, deep/very personal questions are sent my way and I’ve answered them all with the best of my knowledge.

I can see how many people are afraid of having real talk (specially introverts, as I was) because it can show your weaknesses, suffering and your potentially “wrong” ideas/thoughts. Truth is, everybody has their fair share of bs going on and being over polite and wasting time in meaningless small talk doesn’t IMHO benefit anybody, and you miss very interesting mindsets and experiences that can make your life much better.
I surely am missing something, because I have no idea why you think wasm is niche. It is niche today the same way javascript-rich interfaces where niche during the reign of PHP.

The length on its own isn't that big of a problem.

- There will be a new series of books that captures the attention of "everybody" and we talk about for the next 10 years

- Children in parks will try to catch pigeons which will fly away

- Coffee will be a very popular drink, except for places that drink tea where tea will remain popular. There will be limited respect between the two groups while they will claim not to understand the other.

- There will be at least 3 different diet fads that become popular. The big names will seamlessly switch between them despite the conflicts in some tenant of the fad.

- Some object/hobby will become the in thing that everybody has to have/do. (generally the object will count as tools for the hobby)

- Teens will rebel from something their parents did, claiming they are unique while doing exactly the same rebel thing every other teen is doing.

- Clothing styles will change in some subtle way that requiring stylish people to replace their wardrobe.

- People will try to escape reality and become addicted to mind/mood alternating drugs.

- Somebody will make millions on their "Jesus is coming" campaign despite numerous claims that directly contradict the bible.

In short nothing major will change. If you are in the right place at the right time and have the right [lack of] morals you can become rich from the above.

Even though ij often fills a single square in puzzle, it is not a character in the Dutch alphabet. It is sometimes incorrectly assumed to be in place of y (y is only used for foreign words). It is a combination of i and j, but has special uppercasing rules in that they are uppercased together; e.g. IJzer (iron). There's even a Unicode codepoint assigned as well: ĳ (U+0133 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE IJ), although its use is discouraged.

Why would the rents in rural Montana increase due to COL in Seattle? They're separate markets. If you're within a commutable distance, they're not. Remote work skews this a little bit, but until it's widespread it's not a measurable impact on real estate prices or broader COL.
Yes, a lot of these sorts of measurements tend to just be population heat maps. Going down the list of most populous metro areas in the U.S. [1] or the most populous counties [2], all the top places are represented in the list. Although there are a few outliers at the edges (e.g. Charlotte, NC seems to punch above its weight).

GDP = C + G + I + NX

Since cities are centers of consumption (C) and government spending (G), and those that are ports do exporting (NX=net exports), the concentration seems reasonable.

This suggests that sicker people get more disabled by surgery. Which we already knew.

Yeah, yet very different books. Debord is political while Baudrillard is just "postmodernist".
I'm on the back end of Zarathustra at the moment, hence moving onto something a bit stronger. I tend to flick between different books by any given author in order to assimilate their ideas, so I might add Birth of Tragedy at the same time - thank for the recommendation. I'd like to get through all of Nietzsche's key writing in the next couple of years.

I've thought about reading Schopenhauer as I understand he's a great complement to Nietzsche's work - I'll see where I get to with Nietzsche first. Camus is somewhat related as an absurdist compared to Nietzsche/Schopenhauer's existentialism, but a bit more optimistic about the possibility of meaning.

I'm tempted to dig into Plato as the problem of universals is a philosophical topic that I value greatly, and his theory of forms is basically its origin story.
When you say unchecked market concentration it sounds like you want some sort of governmental solution to check that market concentration - what's the proposal.
Multiple mentions of "How not to Die" by Dr. Michael Greger which is great and extensively researched - and he just came out with a new book "How not to Diet" which looks like the same quality.

Also, if you like videos better, there is a huge collection by him on https://nutritionfacts.org/ - searchable by condition (like "cholesterol"), or on his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/NutritionFactsOrg

Spoiler alert: all of his conclusions boil down to just a few things:

- don't drink calories

- eat less processed food

- eat less meat and dairy

- eat more fiber (beans, greens, fruits, veggies)

That doesn't seem like a good analogy to me, because intrinsically problem solving is about something you don't understand in the first place, whereas reaching for something you do already understand what you are doing.

If I use a mechanical grabber aid to reach something, then it isn't figuring out how to do anything. But if I ask Wolfram Alpha the answer to a math problem, it isn't me doing it.
They should maybe put that together with the distribution of political power.
Government spending doesn't add to GDP because government doesn't create the money it spends. All the money government has to spend and create value is a byproduct of what actually goes into GDP.

Give me the RCTs proving that anything actually reverses osteoporosis. Best we have is minor prevention with effect sizes of below 20%. This including special exercises combined with collagen rich diet, D3, K2 and bisphosphonates.
Teriparatide shows promise in reversal but effect sizes are low too.

The main result is prolonging age until occurrence anyway, not prevention. And definitely not cure.
This is the old "announce an inquiry" ploy. This should be familiar to anyone who has watched "Yes, Minister" - or has paid any attention at all to anything ever made in public.

Basically, someone "blows the whistle" and suddenly something that should have gone relatively under the radar blows up on your face. People start asking a lot of difficult questions and making a lot of noise.

So what do you do? You announce a private inquiry (or, to put it in ICANN's terms "We will thoughtfully and thoroughly evaluate the proposed acquisition to ensure that the .ORG registry remains secure, reliable, and stable.").

The point of the inquiry isn't to find out any new facts or correct any problems - it's to stall until this goes out of the public eye (people have short attention spans, and we are in the Holiday season which always helps with "forgetting"), to clear up their names of any wrongdoing (because they reviewed everything thoroughly and found no cause for concern) and to bury the evidence (because some of it will be "accidentally" misplaced into a shredder).

In a month or so, a report will come out saying that there is some cause for concern, but that the danger is either overblown or that their hands are tied so nothing can be done due to this or that circumstance (legal, financial, etc). It will come with a stern paragraph warning that internal guidelines (you know, the ones the public can't see) must be reviewed sometime in the near future (i.e., around the year 2050) to prevent this from happening again, but it will conclude that everyone did their due diligence properly and we were all just victims of circumstances.

In short, better luck next time.

> ...you'll see that temperatures swung as much as 8C during the ice age. The last glacial period itself covers some 100,000 years.

The recorded temperature swings are local rather than global, global temperature does not rise by five degrees in a matter of decades unless something catastrophic happens.

Yes, but average global temperatures were barely affected.

I am going through this process right now in an attempted to use a prefab timber frame extension to an existing home (ca. 1800 thatched cottage). We actually tried to get a Dutch thatcher incidentally but she was too busy! A similar house would be completely illegal to build now (internal space is ~600 square feet) but ironically it's illegal to demolish too (protected structure)

The homes around here are mostly, to be honest, pretty ugly concrete block pebble-dashed bungalows. I don't mind that because hey, to each their own, but saying that a home which looks like a log cabin doesn't match the local aesthetic so we should keep all houses in this style is frustrating.

I do wonder if planners have a kneejerk reaction to anything cheap since a huge amount of public policy is specifically designed to keep housing expensive (or "preserve home values" if you're so inclined) The bias towards slow, inefficient, on-site building is hard to understand.

So, I got into hot debate about this book. I read it, or attempted to do so in French, my native language. Thing is, while I do have some philosophical culture, I do not have a degree in philosophy, and people told me that my opinion is therefore irrelevant.

Debord in this book insists on being obtuse and obfuscates relatively simple ideas. Worse, he would masquerade opinions as reasoning and loves using vague words without defining them, jumping from one possible meaning to the other the next sentence.

The thing is unreadable and the ideas it contains (I read some explanations of the books by other "lesser" philosophers) pretty basic.

Better read Manufacturing Content by Chomsky. I don't know why Americans are so enamored with French philosophers while they have decent ones at home. I am a bit ashamed that the aura our culture has is used to promote such hacks as the situationists.
