Robert Pirsig used the word "mythos" to describe this in Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance.

To quote:

The mythos-over-logos argument points to the fact that each child is born as ignorant as any caveman. What keeps the world from reverting to the Neanderthal with each generation is the continuing, ongoing mythos, transformed into logos but still mythos, the huge body of common knowledge that unites our minds as cells are united in the body of man. To feel that one is not so united, that one can accept or discard this mythos as one pleases, is not to understand what the mythos is.

There is only one kind of person, Phaedrus said, who accepts or rejects the mythos in which he lives. And the definition of that person, when he has rejected the mythos, Phaedrus said, is "insane." To go outside the mythos is to become insane.
Why not make it your goal to find a goal?

Due to hedonic adaptation, the journey of working toward something is usually more rewarding than reaching any particular destination, especially if you're getting lots of feedback along the way.

Also, I've spoken with literally thousands of entrepreneurs, and most don't have what I'd describe as "killer instinct." Many of them gained a purpose through their business, rather than starting their businesses to satisfy some pre-existing purpose. It's a bit like how people find a new mission in life once they have a child.

What we think impacts what we do, but perhaps less obvious is the fact that what we do impacts how we think. Sometimes the first step is to throw yourself into a situation and then allow the motivation to come.

Finally, I'd say I'm an abnormally driven and goal-oriented person, and even I often think about my inevitable death and the purpose of it all. I think it's just part of being human and thoughtful.

I've come to the conclusion that living a good life is largely about being proactive. We like to think that given enough money and freedom we'll all do things that make us happy, but instead we tend to stagnate. It's easy for anyone to settle into simply letting the days pass: whether you're single or in a relationship, an employee or a founder, traveling or stationary, it doesn't matter. You can get into a routine of simply doing the least effortful thing.

For most of us, being proactive about living your life in a fulfilling way requires effort, the same way work does.
It Seems My Silence Was Heard
Current comp is ultimately because computers and the internet are both the entertainment medium of choice (displacing film, radio, TV, and we know all of those industries and the supporting industries they spawned were huge) and a universal personal and business tool (with an impact as great or greater than the automobile did on both personal and business transportation and, as before, we know how big the auto industry and supporting industries became). Computing and the internet are so fundamental now that I do not expect this wave to stop until every person on the planet, no matter what their local standard of living is, has a personal smartphone within arm's reach 24/7.

We're not guaranteed to have no bumps along the way of course but, over the long term, it's really hard to envision a case where demand for developers, and consequently comp, drops drastically before this global saturation occurs.
I think it depends on the audience.

For a group of prospective CS majors, or people learning programming for its own sake, I think it would be good to start with a high level language, say Python, Scheme or Ocaml, and then progressively deconstruct the layers of abstraction between the language and the physics.

For a group of electrical engineering majors, it might actually tie in better with their other courses if one starts with simple physical constructs like bits, bytes, and gates, and gradually introduce abstraction layers to form more convenient programming models.

In that case people would swipe on just the attractive users and on every bio without reading them.

A simple fix would be to only allow users to swipe on 20% of the photos and 20% of the bios.

purportedly?

I know you mean hybrid strains bread for high potency. Prohibitting those if otherwise legal would require a legal basis.

I thought one objective of legalization was to avoid laced product. Of course lacing weed to make it appear more potent and to be addictive is still forbidden. I have no source for that. Chalk it up as purported rumor. I've heard police test a crusher (weed grinder, whatchamacallit) positive for co-alkaloids and amphetamin in Germany.
> Nobody has any free speech rights related to Google-hosted content. If Google pulled the plug on YouTube tomorrow and vended 0% of the videos it hosts, there'd be no recourse for content creators. Nothing about the US interpretation of free speech implies an obligation for YouTube to host any content or no content.

People always say this when this topic is brought up. But nobody is talking about the constitutional right to free speech. We all understand that Google is allowed to do whatever it wants on its own platforms.

Free speech, however, is not only a right. It is an ideal. It is something some people value independent of the constitution and law.

Yes, literally all the time.

Sports gear, camping equipment, portable chairs, anything soft that can go on top of other luggage, all go over the side, over the back, however it's most convenient.

More importantly though, is that a lot of this gear is removed from the truck over the side, especially at the beach or on the mountain or at a trailhead, where I'm parallel-parked and can't easily remove items out of the back.

George Will and the National Review crew are neo-cons. AKA not-Conservatives. Straussians. They are the fake "right" of the modern pro-global government party. Watching people aruge over what's "left" and "right" is surreal. The real differences (if one wants to find them) are sovereignty of nation states vs a permenant ruling class that sets quazi-global policy.

To anyone who thinks they are "left": Consider watching the current presidents UN speeches.
If I understand what you're suggesting, lipopolysaccharide doesn't make cells immortal. It just does the equivalent of making it not work when you hold down the power button to power cycle and force-shutdown your laptop. It lets your malware be free to run and send emails without danger of losing its environment.
They try to but it's not always that easy. When you outsource you often need a lot more people to do the same work since there is more overhead. So the total cost may not be that much lower and the output is less.

Not saying this is always the case but it has been like that at my company several times. IMO IT and business need to work close together to efficiently produce quality stuff that the customers want. This is way harder if you are separated by a sucky phone line.
I don't think it matches modern usage. I regularly see complaints about how suchandsuch politician with mainstream support has a "radical agenda" or is "radicalizing" their followers.

If we insist on the definitional assertion, it becomes a lot less obvious why we should care about the original claim. Is it even a problem for Youtube to promote "radical" content if "radical" just means "different than what mainstream news channels say"?
He definitely states for each of his points that the people working on decentralized systems are misguided because decentralization doesn't automatically solve these hard problems; and while his thesis is what you state--that solving these problems is easier as a centralized system because you are more agile--other than a few awkward straw positions (many of which I addressed, and which aren't even really arguments but just anthropic assertions based on misstatements of history) he doesn't really have much to say on the idea that decentralization makes the problem harder. Hell: I'll admit he could have... I have myself given talks about issues with federated systems (vs. "truly distributed systems", which I think are very different than federated systems) and the pain of trying to deal with things like metadata privacy (something the people behind Matrix actually admit in some of their internal talks), but all of his positions here (with again, exceptions where he just ignores transport privacy or goes down rabbit holes of false tangents about phone numbers) really came down to a repetitive phrasing like "decentralized systems are not inherently encrypted, in fact most decentralized systems are not inherently encrypted by default; there's nothing about decentralization that makes things encrypted, you know?" (exact quote) that are later followed with a couple unrelated points and then a restatement of the (incorrectly argued) thesis that decentralized systems can't change and centralized systems are the only way to get new technology. It is like claiming "decentralized currencies don't automatically cause privacy or anonymity, and in fact the vast majority of cryptocurrencies provide more public records than your existing bank" while just flat out ignoring that things like Zcash not only could exist but in fact already exist.

> CNN and TYT are both partisan left. They both published content showing extreme dismay at the election of Trump. That's fine, they're allowed to do that. This just shows their political bias.

‘Extreme’ disapproval of Trump is an exclusively left wing position? Clearly that is not the case.
While I am not a fan of centralized systems either and did initially perceive it as him justifying Signal's decisions I got a slightly more positive impression towards the end.

My takeaway is that he highlights that centralization makes moving fast easy (he's not wrong) and prods those who want to develop decentralized systems to be aware of the downsides. He holds up bitcoin OSS as a "fork to evolve" model as something that sortof works but isn't great either.
We need something better. Perhaps a stack that solves the fundamentals in a reusable manner (discovery, e2e encryption, hiding metadata, group management, ...) so that people don't have to sink man-years into every new project.

That said, there are also flaws in his arguments such as the "server goes down, everyone has to change identity" example seeming too simplistic since identity does not necessarily have to be tied to a single instance in a distributed environment.
> ludicrously popular chat systems, such as Kik, that were largely popular because they did not use phone numbers at all

Wait? When was Kik ludicrously popular? Usernames clearly wasn't a feature that kept users coming back as the service almost shutdown in October before being sold off.

There are certainly some people that would prefer a username or other identifier, but avoiding yet another invitation fest by using your existing address book seems like a better onboarding experience to me, and seems to work ok for enough people. Also, who wants to fight for usernames again?
Interesting. I did two years of Clojure after a decade plus of Java and C#. It never particularly clicked for me. This was developing misc LOB apps with a bunch of misc business logic. Maybe the wrong domain for a lisp to shine. Boilerplate wasn't much of an issue in that domain, and without type safety I constantly felt like I was driving blindfolded. Given that feeling, I felt the density and power of Clojure was actually a disadvantage relative to, say, Python.

The clencher was after rewriting a large app in F# and having two working versions for a while, I decided to move to async calls. In F# I was able to change a few core functions and then follow the red squiggly lines, wrapping logic into async and asyncSeq monads until everything compiled again. And after a day of doing so, everything worked the first time. With Clojure I couldn't even find the courage to begin something like that. It would have to be a complete rewrite. I never touched Clojure again. Maybe lisp is different.

Supporting rent control and believing that the widely held view among economists that free markets improve public welfare is a lie promulgated by a capitalist elite is equivalent to believing all foreigners are evil and that vaccines are a conspiracy pushed by Big Pharma.

It's not a false equivalence, and for me to explain to you how your theories constitute baseless conspiracy theories is outside the scope of this discussion.

If you'd like to have an indepth discussion about economics, please create a post in another forum, and link me to it, and I'd be happy to carry it on there.

>>Eg, the law must not prevent a company and a union from signing a contract to make the company a closed shop

Prohibiting companies from discriminating against unionized workers is an infringement on the freedom of contract, as are several other legal prohibitions relating to how companies are permitted to deal with workers attempting to unionize, and unionized workers striking.

Laws relating to collective bargaining, which prohibit a company from negotiating with any party other than the union, in the event that a work unit votes to unionize, are blatant violations of the freedom of contract.

Unions would have no market power without said laws. If you support the upholding of the free market, and the principle of contract liberty that underpins it, then you are acquiesing to the total disempowerment of unions.

Some great books have already been mentioned but those which were the most personally influential which haven't yet been mentioned:

- Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story by Arnold Schwarzenegger

- Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance

- Bad Blood by John Carreyrou

- Kochland by Christopher Leonard

- Masters of Doom by David Kushner

I read a lot of "business consultant" books and began to be annoyed with them since many of them can be summed up by the title and the first couple of chapters.

I like the books above because they presented factual events that allow you to draw your own conclusions.

I especially like Schwarzenegger's book and Bad Blood because of their depth. It was interesting to hear about Schwarzenegger's crazy business ideas like how he became a millionaire before becoming an actor and how he bought a 747.

I found the audiobook "Master's of Doom" (book is 2003 but audiobook is newer) to be really entertaining as it was read by actor Wil Wheaton who did a great job.

You probably do even if you do not realize it.

Can you spot incorrect use of "a" vs. "an" in text? You're subvocalizing.

Are you unable to read while talking? You're subvocalizing.

The idea of not-subvocalizing is to see text as images. You should be able to recognize chunks of words like you recognize different types of emojis or types of dogs. It is completely different from the way everyone learned to read.

I can not-subvocalize after much practice but only temporarily.

I don't recommend it. It's useless on the same level as learning Dvorak.

Deep learning / ML / AI have long-term implications to affect essentially all non-manual jobs, including the subsets of knowledge workers, office jobs and programming. (That’s in-addition to putting 90-95% of truckers, the no. 1 job in the US, and ride-for-hire workers out of work within 10-20 years.) Self-programming systems, given enough computing power and tech progress, will be A Thing™. At that point, we will be very close to one or more technological singularities as well, which will have even larger implications and knock-on effects to productivity, job availability and technological era.

We really need an universal basic income (UBI) at some point, or there were will be billions of people but very few, livable wages jobs as the billionaires and potential trillionaires vacuum up an increasingly skewed power-law distribution of the new wealth created, while billions of people live in favelas.
