This is good, of course. I am curious: while a typical user of imgur would clearly be non-commercial, would imgur itself be at risk for hosting the material? Or does Germany have a “safe harbour”-like concept for platforms that host user content?
Yes that sounds counterproductive. Multi-family buildings obviously need a central organisation because things like the elevator, roof, etc are shared infrastructure that requires funding from all occupants. A detached house can be fully owned by the occupant or the landlord. There is no need for middlemen.

Related to this post, I just listened to an interesting podcast about habits[0].
It debunks some of the common myths about willpower and self-control. According to the host, the "secret" is building healthy habits over time. The problem is that we need gratification (while forming the habit) and we shouldn't have many obstacles to perform the activity we want to make a habit.
Basically, we're all (maybe not you Elon) wired lazy and the only solution is to force ourselves to have only one easy choice.

I bought my first Tivo in 1999. It ran Linux and a Tivo hacking community quickly appeared.

Added a second hard drive (just put it in your Linux PC first and run a command to format it)

Bought an ethernet adapter and ran a command to install the driver. It had an FTP server so I could just type "get Friends-10-21-1999.mpg" and have the unencrypted file on my computer. It also had a web server to schedule recordings or act as a remote control.

Never had an issue with it.
Probably, but did you miss that this post is about German law?
I just read about this and find it interesting. Two questions:

1. Is Roam text only? I haven't noticed any images in the examples I have seen so far.

2. What is its business model? I didn't see any pricing information.

Isn't the idea of skunkwork projects exactly to avoid bureaucratic waste for the sake of radical innovation?

In the true sense of the word, yes. However, the MIC and the budgets that support it have their own working definition. It's not about the ends/results, It's about the means (swallowing more and more budget).
Two books by the same author that I recommend on this subject-

--The War of Art
--Do The Work

Both by Steven Pressfield. They're imperfect -- they call out to imaginary forces uncomfortably too often, and they take a relatively concise bit of content stretching it to book form, leaving it sometimes a bit threadbare, however they're an easy, enjoyable read and I found them useful.
I'm imagining sites returning a quantized blocky 128x128 image if you have a German IP.

The long term capital gains rate is 0% if your income is $0 to $39,375; so essentially your first $40k of capital gains is exempt if you have no income.

For the purposes of this calculation, your cap gain is added to your income to work out your bracket.
You don't get a "don't die" choice. Only a spectrum of how.

You can absolutely injure yourself by running too much, even with perfect form, and before you would notice anything is wrong while "listening to your body".
Definitely on to something. Our minds create ideas but it takes long term effort to realize them. Along the way, our instincts get in the way.

yeah. my bookmarks are basically for a quick access of things that i access over and over again, but that i can't reach out simply by typing in the address bar.
That's not exactly true in practice.

If your income + capital gains is less than $40,000 this year, your long term capital gains rate is 0%.

Go 1% over, and you pay 15% on the whole thing. It's really silly (and also not progressive; as the vast majority of America falls under the $40k to $440k bracket).
This may or may not work, cheap box fans aren't designed to push/pull air through obstructions (ie: low static pressure) and HEPA filters are giant obstructions. So instead of the air going through the filter it'll go through gaps, around the edges of the blades, etc.

I used a cheap box fan for some DIY ventilation and the loss in airflow is massive after filter and ducting.
A Unix Quiz (2012)
There is a company dedicated to tricking (voluntary and conscious) people from procrastination to actual sport, see https://www.squadeasy.com/

The main idea is to leverage the brain's sensitivity to cooperative team goals or competitive goals, plus some gamification. And it works!

Disclaimer: the main founder is my brother, I was involved in the very first steps of the project, and I'm currently on a freelance mission with the company. And the team is looking for a freelance or a permanent Typescript coder in Paris.
One of the neat things about working at Yahoo! when I did (which was when it still had the "!" as part of the branding) was knowing that we had a small number of FreeBSD core maintainers on the payroll, and that those folks could get hardware if they needed it for the FreeBSD project. Not to provide infrastructure to the project, but to give those core maintainers hardware to use and to add support for. We just provided them with the things they needed, almost no questions asked.

Those people didn't answer to anyone, they were just paid to work on the OS. Yahoo! made heavy use of FreeBSD at the time (almost 20 years ago, now) so it was decided that since we were using this free software so extensively that it would be good to give back to that community.

I wish this notion that giving a small amount of resources to open source projects that have saved your company millions of dollars per year was more common than it is. I don't know of any large company that does what Yahoo! did back then.

I work for a large company now, and as far as anyone I've asked can tell, we give exactly nothing to any of the hundreds or possibly thousands of open source projects we use daily, and it does not put a good feeling in my stomach.
I used to collect a lot of bookmarks too, I sorted them in folders in the Firefox bookmark bar and thought it's important to keep track of them.

After switching to a different browser for a while I just didn't port them over and realized I actually don't need any of them (Except maybe 1-5 shortcuts for sites I open often, usually they are just pinned tabs now).

I'd suggest to give it a try. I don't think I ever had the problem that I couldn't find something again and if it's important enough there will be a way to find it again.
Kdb benefits from a combo of things:

1. The terse language is actually quite expressive and very well suited to vector programming. So less code is more. Also gets you thinking in a particular way...

2. The database, a mix of transactional, in memory, and fast analytics (aggregations, joins..) concepts

3. The runtime framework: Kdb is an ideal building block for a network distributed system. Opening sockets and connecting to other Kdb instances is simple.
There’s a lethal dose for pretty much anything.
1. Yes, you can upload images.

2. The co-founder has said he's looking at charging $30 / month when it's ready.

I never understood that argument: If I buy some Google stock for $8000 and then the value of it goes up and I then sell the shares for $10000, then the $2000 I made have not yet been taxed. Making the argument "but them there people at the Google company already paid this and that tax!" seems to just be some weird category error, in my estimation of the circumstances.

This line of argumentation, whenever it comes up, has the feeling of a "pre canned response" that people somewhere are taught to offer up any time someone argues for higher capital gains taxes (though I'll admit I haven't thought about the issue in great enough detail to be completely firm on my assessment, or maybe I'm misunderstanding some important detail)
sure it was an hardware fault that started the event, but now blaming the whole thing on a system that has a warning system, duplicate readings to check faults and bypasses to work around the issue is deeply misguided and ignores simple facts about how safety is attained in aircrafts: trough redundancy and training.

this is completely different from the mcas where the default configuration lacked redundancy, the pilot lacked training and the bypass procedure ineffective unless executed at low speed and high altitude before the dive would lock the trims
The other way to interpret this is that lobbying by wealthy interests have cut their own tax rates by half as compared to the working class, perpetually creating a class of wealth-holders and a class of renters through systematic distortions in the tax system.

Is it really fair that a wealthy investor pays 15% tax, while a doctor pays 35%?

You're correct, I'm sure it could happen, it is highly unlikely that a non-academic could get published even at workshops for low ranking conferences. In my experience it takes at least a year of guidance before the average PhD can be accepted to any conferences without supervision. If OP can do this alone then he's exceptional.
This is only true if you sell shares and realize a profit on an annual basis. As soon as you start deferring, as virtually every shareholder does, the math fundamentally changes.

In reality the “double tax” is still significantly lower than the top tax rates in the US. And the top tax rates in the US are less than half of what they used to be during the years Donald Trump thought America was great.

If that is the goal, BST sort might be a good idea as well (put elements into a balanced binary search tree as you receive them). Not _quite_ the same semantics (you don't have an array exactly at each step), but much faster asymptotics and should be able to answer any queries you'd be doing anyway.

Funny that these are all about starting where my problems are mostly about finishing things. I love to start new things and often struggle to finish something because I would much rather start something new.

I suspect the "shiny new thing" syndrome is common, especially in tech, but I have not read a lot about it (apart from GTD).

Over time, I have developed coping mechanisms for this myself but I was hoping to learn some new tricks. Any tips?
Rosen's short book "Piano Notes", about the "job" of being a concert pianist, is a terrific read.

That is standard legal boilerplate that allows them to host/display content that you mark as public. All sites that share user generated content publicly have similar clauses.
I don't know about n,n-DMT (which is a potent hallucinogen and for what simply DMT is a conventional shorthand for) but for 5-MeO-DMT (which is a distinct substance, very weak hallucinogen yet tremendously strong psychedelic) - it's not unlikely to die if you overdose. Doses above 25mg are dangerous, 100mg is probably an almost guaranteed physical death. You just experience being so free from the concepts of material (and mental) reality, one with G-d, Universe and everything, that you can (and will, if the dose is enough) forget about your physical body and it stops breathing.

Curiously enough this substance seems being safe and even very beneficial as long as the doses are reasonable and this attracts scientific attention. I.e. I've read the following paper recently: A single inhalation of vapor from dried toad secretion containing 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) in a naturalistic setting is related to sustained enhancement of satisfaction with life, mindfulness-related capacities, and a decrement of psychopathological symptoms (DOI: 10.1007/s00213-019-05236-w).

one reason other replies haven't mentioned is that long-term gains don't play well with a progressive income tax system.

imagine you make $35k salary and you make an investment that increases in value by $50k over ten years. we'll ignore inflation and tax bracket hikes for simplicity. assuming you live in the US, your salary places you in the 12% bracket, and the 22% bracket starts around $40k income. if you realize that gain in the last year and it counts as income, almost all of that $50k gets taxed at 22%, despite the fact that "on average" you only made $40k each year. this effect gets worse the longer you hold onto the asset.
Because do human lives even really matter anymore? Nah, screw 'em, hurrrr money!

1. Use the chrome extension to add something

2. Sometimes I add tags or add it to a list

For links I come across on Slack, I use the Slack app (https://slack.com/apps/AFBC4A147-tefter)
to quickly bookmark any links included in a message somebody posted.

When it comes to bookmarking, plenty of options out there. For me effective collaboration was the feature missing from most of them and that's why we're building Tefter.
But that hippie generation forbade all sex & drugs so successive generations have to do something. We have become over domesticated chimps that have been conditioned to think having sex with a lot of people is a bad thing and anything other than alcohol is a no no. Good a more open minded sentiment is starting to develop but let's not blame technology when cultural heritage is sufficient to explain trends.

If everybody had sex today tomorrow would be awesome. I welcome a world where women are not slut shamed and it is normal for a 20 year old girl to brag at the office that she had an amazing fuck Yesterday from a random hit-and-run.

I have a couple of thousand bookmarks, which as some might say is a ridiculous amount. Except they aren't really bookmarks in the strict sense. For me they are webpages that contain useful information. Some bookmarks don't get opened for years but I know that if I ever need information on compiling SBCL I can click the tags 'sbcl' and 'compilers'. Searching the internet for that exact article probably wouldn't get me what I found 4 years ago.
I did this last summer. Simply walking early to get some bread. It quickly turned into an automatic alarm clock, gave me a good 30 min of "warm up" walking that also let my brain coast while watching the woods. You come back both refreshed and all warmed up blood wise. It was very very beneficial altogether.

If it wasn't for the wrong job I took next and winter killing the morning sun I'd still be doing this. Actually now that spring is here, I feel the need. The need for .. walk.

Birmingham's town and transport planning departments have repeatedly shown themselves to be insane for the last 70 years.

It’s interesting that you bring up Costco because their business model doesn’t quite work the same way.

Costco employees are paid very well compared to other retail and warehouse employees. The average Costco shopper is also more affluent than a typical Walmart or Target shopper.

Costco customer service is not limited at all. It’s the best in the industry. They have notoriously generous return policies. As long as it’s not electronics, you can return basically anything at any time. The electronics section also tacks on another year warranty compared to other retailers.

Many items in Costco aren’t actually generally the best deal around. Again, they cater to high income families. Yes, the low-labor warehouse environment with very few SKUs reduces costs, but it not a low-end experience. Only bulk staple foods are truly great deals, many items in the middle section (home goods) and electronics can be found for cheaper elsewhere with little difference in quality.

The analogy you might be looking for is Amazon. They use contracted employees for deliveries and overworked, underpaid non-union warehouse employees. They have very little emphasis on delivering genuine goods and don’t mind selling off-brand stuff as long as it’s the cheapest option. They use market dominance as a replacement for decent service and products: who else can run their own delivery service?

I also give one standard label to these notes so these are not mixed up with other Keep notes for tasks, book notes etc.

It’s the difference between the value of the stock and dividend payout before and after corporate taxes are paid.

If you bought stock in January 1, 2019 and then sold the stock before the end of 2019 then you were double taxed. Your effective rate is still low in the history of the US but you were technically double taxed.

Where it gets tricky and fundamentally alters the equation is when you defer and don’t sell in the same year you bought. You’re still technically double taxed but the effective rate can become comically low.

I’m also just outright ignoring inflation but inflation is a huge aspect in this calculation.
