You mean you found some women who had it harder than you.

Like you said, it was mostly women you spoke with. Also, women are conditioned to open up about their hardships more (in the US).

I’ve seen my fair share of people die, slowly and suddenly. It’s always the same. The men say less. They are expected to. They’re not supposed to complain or say what’s on their mind other than “don’t worry about me.”
My proposal would simply be to make it a legal obligation for all companies to provide ownership in the company proportional to salary each year they are employed. Not only that, it's a special type of stock which is paid dividends on profits before external shareholders. This stock should have exclusive premium benefits over any other stock. A lot of thought would need to be put into how to structure this so it could not be gamed.

External shareholders could still see a return. But I think the days of seeing massive returns on capital need to be over. It should be a fight just to beat inflation imho.

To be honest though I'm still thinking about this a lot and don't have an exact answer. So this idea is in flux. That doesn't mean it's not a problem though.
I think the secret actually consists of having a good set of aesthetic judgments and emotional reactions. The power of these things is precisely that they're involuntary reactions which push or pull you to do the right thing. Thus they are indispensable for all those moments when your intellect and will are insufficient.

The difficulty is that you can't reason yourself into having them, but must nurture them by other means. This used to be one of the primary goals of education, and is the primary value of a (proper) liberal arts education, as opposed to "critical thinking" skills.

The Stoics wrote about the importance of cultivating a contempt for pleasure. The Christians teach that you should "Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world" (1 John 2:15). Understood naively, these statements are a sure recipe for unhappiness and disaster. But properly understood, within a healthy aesthetic framework and with emotions trained in accordance to it, these statements obviously contain a large chunk of the secret to happiness and success.

I recommend watching this video for an extended introduction to this way of thinking: https://youtu.be/tX5e6eSkaMc
Oh that's it for Apple Maps, they're too busy selling your data. Maps were fun but too expensive to keep building out. They're only there to keep people from switching to Android.
Everyone's different but I find that keeping my mortality front and center in my mind does wonders.

If, everytime you consider loafing around doing nothing (or worse, you wind up working all weekend on something you don't care about to make your boss rich), you think "I've got ~2500 sunday afternoons left, maybe 2000 in good health, maybe 500 while I have young kids", etc you consider how precious your time is.
It does not show anything, most of the cars you overtake are cars that are just preparing for an exit from highway or just entered the highway thus they have slower speed
I’ve been meditating regularly for about a year and a half and have found it’s one of the most helpful ways to slow down the inner monologue as well
the context of the thread, the post you were replying to, is about the economic impacts of most of china staying "on vacation" for a few more weeks.

your twice now trying to catastophize that into a deathtoll or "the end of the world" constitutes either a double-mis-reading or an active attempt at trolling. you want to blame the media, but you are the person introducing the false extremes to this conversation.

The real title and abstract of the study here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ijop.12642

"Not only assholes drive Mercedes. Besides disagreeable men, also conscientious people drive high-status cars. [--] An important implication is that the association between driving a high-status car and unethical driving behaviour may not, as is commonly argued, be due to the corruptive effects of wealth. Rather, certain personality traits, such as low agreeableness, may be associated with both unethical driving behaviour and with driving a high-status car."
Your cynicism about compliance is misplaced IMO. Compliance is about making sure the product covers things that are boring but important, like security, privacy, and accessibility. These are things that the pioneers blithely ignore so they can ship something. But if they continue to be ignored, there are real, sometimes disastrous, consequences (even if the disaster is just for one person, e.g. an otherwise well-qualified blind person losing their job because an app they're required to use is inaccessible).
> infinity is not a number

Infinity is not a number, it's a set of numbers, but specific infinities (e.g., the cardinality of the natural numbers, aleph-naught) are individual numbers, just not finite numbers.
Isn't it just badly implemented shortcut support?
Maybe this is demonstrates an immediate consequence of having a people (mainland China, not necessarily HK) that is governed primarily by fear: reactions of extreme subordination, which keep things running "smoothly" under normal conditions, can threaten the whole system to collapse under abnormal conditions.
Thanks, I should probably make it a bit clearer that those are videos.
You're right, it was the wrong term.
Sorry for the minor comment but I noticed this part: "side-streets with lots of left turns onto other busy side-streets"

Now I live in Europe, presumably you live in the US (sorry if that's wrong). Is there any particular difficulties with doing left turns compared to right turns where you live?
The key assumption there is that your alternate-self ghost-car is following the flow of traffic. Which might be true if the route was a highway; but what if it was, say, a shopping district? (“The other you would have gotten here slower, because they’d have been lured into a Starbucks drive-through on the way.”) Or what if they’re a new driver/have a flat tire, and so are driving slower than the speed limit with cars honking behind them? (“Your other self would have been a teenager who hesitated too long on a left turn at an intersection, and so had to wait an extra light cycle.”)
Codementor is good. Do quick mentoring calls; those can turn into additional work. Many of the mentoring requests are generally better done as "off line", where you do a quick bit of work and turn it around in short order. They also have longer, more consulting style projects.
This is a really popular opinion among programmers. I used to have that too. I've met people with that. But I don't think it's true. Somehow the people who believe it all happen to also have jobs and not enough time for hobbies, or are retired professionals, and even then only a few. When I've had periods without work, my motivation went with it. Doing things seems to make you want to do more things. Part of it might be that if you have all the time you need, then you have to stop fantasizing and actually do it, which is of course less fun and more tedious than the fantasy, so what's the point if the reward of good feelings diminishes the more you do? But there's also something about being busy making you more busy.

Some people can work productively on their hobbies without a job kicking them in the pants every morning. But those people are so motivated, they're going to be doing real jobs anyway!

I live in a country with generous social welfare. Nobody is really too poor to pursue hobbies while unemployed. But they don't seem to be doing it. They do drugs instead. They probably feel useless and bad about life. Having a free house and food and healthcare doesn't help. We have a high suicide rate. Uselessness is an awful thing for humans.

Where is all the long term unemployed people's open source software and apps and arts? There's no shortage of unemployed people and those hobbies cost almost zero money, just time. So why aren't we already flooded with them? Or are we?
The PCIe 2.0 standard doubles the transfer rate compared with PCIe 1.0 to 5 GT/s and the per-lane throughput rises from 250 MB/s to 500 MB/s.

So it's actually less than SATA 3 speeds (600MB/s)
Currently new money is injected into the economy via the banks. The hope is that banks lend out the money to create new jobs. But that route is increasingly difficult because more money goes into assets to inflate them instead of creating jobs and services.

UBI is another way to inject money into the system, giving it to the people who would most likely spend it, creating demand and this spurring the economy.
I worked on project where I had dozens of commits every day. Now I work on project where I have one commit per few days. Sometimes I need to research for a week just to create one small commit.

And I am still the same person - only my position changed.

In Swedish, "rymden" kan also refer to just the "space" or "attention" really. It doesn't imply any public space really, just any space.
I agree! It's a very interesting new world. And now I get what you meant. I think the best term for that is COTS (commercial off-the-shelf).
Lastpass says:
"The app needs this permission to provide a global, system-wide shortcut to bring up the search field, so that users can quickly locate a vault entry and copy passwords or launch sites. You can deny this permission request, as the Mac application will continue to work. It will just disable this function from working."

I bet it's similar here, they want a system-wide shortcut to get to google drive. Seems like an oddly named permission.
There are several points of UBI according to me:

1) It simplifies the social support system and makes it more market oriented. Maybe it doesn't eliminate needs-based support totally, but that's a good goal. Need-based support creates bad incentives because it encourages people to be needy.

2) It gives people freedom to take risks and pursue what they find important. Right now many people do pointless work; sometimes this is even supported by society. All work should be meaningful, otherwise it shouldn't be done.

3) Personally, I would like to spend my time developing open-source software. That isn't sustainable without a UBI. UBI could fix the open-source funding model.
According to your link the survivability rate is almost 98% (305 deaths for 14628 cases).

(I'm trying to inject a bit of optimism here, people are so gloomy).
I plan to, now things have stabilised. I didn't have a lot of personal reach to get people's attention. Maybe now though...?
That’s still how I do horizontal centering, FWIW. I guess I have some catching up to do.

Religion really is interesting to me and I am always curious to those discussing it what their thoughts are on other gods. If you believe in your bible and Jesus and god, and other people believe in their god who is right? Do you believe in more than one god or is this person who believes in another god wrong? How do you know? You don’t actually have to answer me these are just the questions I often wonder when I hear people talking about religion. I used to be religious in the past as we went as a kid. I lost my faith many years later and to this day question religion. Still looking for answers. Have a good day.
It's not quite event based really. It still requires one thread per connection (websocket).
`n` is the position in the sequence:

n=1 = (mod (* 1504170715041707 1) 4503599627370517) = 1504170715041707
n=2 = (mod (* 1504170715041707 2) 4503599627370517) = 3008341430083414
n=3 = (mod (* 1504170715041707 3) 4503599627370517) = 8912517754604
Of course a 10x dev understands the existing system, but it's more than that. A 10x dev IMO, understands how to logically take apart and put together a system. I find it amusing that we recognize grand masters in chess and elite performs in other fields, but don't wish to acknowledge that such people exist in our fields.

What I have seen with such developers is that they can jump into a system they have no idea about and ramp up faster than most people. I don't believe that everyone can be a 10x, I also don't believe that everyone that can be a 10x is even going to reach that field. From what I have seen, these folks are the sorts that enjoy working on non user centric app. They hate those ambiguities, so you might find them in security, or working on compilers, networking and lower level sort of codes where it's possible to conquer whatever demon that will arise from the code. It's almost impossible to WIN in user centric app where what's correct is subjective.
I don't know if it's mandatory, but I suspect "a lot of people" means "pretty much everyone" right now.
I really need a new laptop, my old t410s is falling to bits. I'd love to get a new thinkpad but since they changed they keyboards about 2012ish I'm been procrastinating.

Survivability is important but I believe it's a component of what is important, not the only or even most important factor. You must also consider the infectivity rate.

If one infected person infects, on average, less than one other person, the disease will dwindle and die. It could kill 100% of infected people, but it would kill only a small and decreasing number over time.

Conversely, an infectious disease, where one infected person will infect three others on average, will spread quickly. Even if this disease has a more modest fatality rate, suppose it kills only 5% of infected, it could wind up killing tens of millions, if not more.

In this case, I think the mainstream media is actually understating the danger, by comparing it to the flu to suggest it's not so bad, pointing out how SARS was worse, or claiming that concerns over nCoV are inspired by xenophobia. The academic and medical sources I've been reading tell of high infectivity rates, that it's contagious while asymptomatic, that China is underreporting infections and death, and so on.

You're right that this is probably not the end of the world. This is probably not going to be a major epidemic like The Spanish Flu. However, most potential risks don't materialize. If, for any potential risk, you assume it won't happen, you'll usually be right, but, because of the huge downside of being wrong, that's not a great pattern to follow.
My high school math tutor's cute thing to point out was that for asymptotic functions like the graph of y = 1/x [1], since the universe is spherical, the asymtotes will travel off the page in a straight line around the universe and eventually meet, coming back onto the graph in another quadrant from the other direction, so in fact it is one single connected line.

I went into engineering and not physics, and never learned enough of the latter to question whether he was serious. Furthermore, since this was the first time any math tutor of mine in 18yrs had ever related anything to the real world, it seemed like magic to me and so I still ignorantly tell people it to this day.

Eh, alright. What's then the "hack" definition that is younger and more adult?

In my mind, hack has always been the same. Clever thing that does what you want. That's it.
Through this particular thing may be due to them being students. They tend to code overnight and then be clearly sleep deprived - but still insist on coding and being unaffected.

So you get high performance one day and horrible one after.

Imo, once your lifecycle becomes more regular, a lot of these ups and downs disappear.
I personally don't hold that opinion, but this could still be construed as racist.
I'd even happily travel to china.

My worry would be the risk of being stuck somewhere when my planned transport is cancelled rather than being infected and dying.

300 deaths out of over a billion people is nothing.
Yes, its slower than ordinary SATA 3.0. Testing similar converters on T410 yielded <200MB/s from fast SSD. In theory on something like x230 you have 1x Pcie 2.0 = 500MB/s, while SATA 3 is 600MB/s.
The problem is a bit underspecified, perhaps. 'n' is a positive integer, so 1, 2, 3, .... So the sequence is found by multiplying 1504170715041707 by 1, 2, 3, ... sequentially, then finding the remainder when you divide each of those products by 4503599627370517.
This library can leverage data parallelism to increase throughout vs the scalar versions. ie. One instruction performs 4 operations instead of one. If the problem you are solving is suited to this parallelism, you could get a significant speedup.
I don't understand this obsession with "artificial" stimulus. If the economy naturally grows at 2% a year, but "artificial" stimulus causes it to grow at 3% a year, why wouldn't you do it? It's like refusing to get vaccines because they are unnatural.
Not at this level and this is effectively the gov’t signaling a “bank run” in my view.
True.

They drove me a little crazy, but one of the best people I ever worked with was a “test enthusiast” and believed that anything not automated was going to eventually cause us trouble.

It was good friction and made one helluva a system that managed to serve a couple hundred thousand remote clients while basically on autopilot for several years now.
A system-wide shortcut to get to something which other applications aren't able to use is a Bad Thing.

> I could readily absorb the material but I was terribly antagonistic towards teachers who generally desire a sense of authority in their class rooms. I also as an adult have been diagnosed with ADHD, which to me at least explains a good portion of why I struggled in school. I never did my homework

I'd guess this is the root of your problem. People don't want to hire those that are terribly antagonistic towards authority figures (a.k.a their boss) and don't do their homework (a.k.a work).
Left turns cross all four lanes of traffic involved in an intersection while right turns involve two, so if either street is busy you have to wait longer for a gap.

> real problem with any such proposal will be implementation and policy details which most UBI proponents don't talk about much if at all.

They do talk about this, you just haven't been listening. Yang proposes a voluntary switch between needs-based welfare and UBI combined with a national VAT.

https://ubicalculator.com/ provides a good amount of detail about how various UBI plans will be funded.
You can still get local versions of Office it's just the version you had (2011 I assume, older possibly?) was 32 bit only.

I modified several ThinkPads to use the Wintec Expresscard SSD's back when they were still available. Although they weren't capable of great benchmark scores, they were way, way better than the 2.5" and 1.8" HDD's of the day (think 80GB)

I do what Mattmanser does on long highways with not too much traffic as a proxy of me going with the flow. I discount merging vehicles, it’s harder to take into account exiting vehicles but with exits being rare that works ok. Also: waze
Couldn't that thinking be flawed, though? I mean, it's only not exponential now because of effective containment. You have to maintain containment until the disease no longer exists. If you don't do that, and the disease exists, then the virus will spread exponentially as soon as containment stops.

It seems to me that the "various models" assume the non-existence of containment attempts. In that case, you have to be careful you're not drawing the wrong conclusions.
The entire world has been doing it for the last decade, and there’s been another uptick recently. The US recently resumed buying treasuries. This is not isolated to China.
I think you're looking at it from the wrong angle. It's not about typecasting a individual person. It's about recognizing that there are these divisions in the work that's available. It's a feature of the environment, and you should recognize it and your relationship with it.

Then you can be aware, for your own good, of where your preferences and strengths lie, and make conscious decisions about what to take on, whether working on your core competencies is wallowing or increasing your depth; whether a stretch would constitute "levelling up" or just stress.

(Incidentally, in response to your swipe at Meyers-Briggs, the same is true there: it's a tool to help you recognize your own inclinations and be aware of them so that you can grow meaningfully and purposefully. It's not for boxing yourself in and saying, "I can't/shouldn't do that because I'm an ABCD".)
Aren't both the rate of infection transmission and survivability important?

1. High infection rate + High survivability

2. High infection rate + Low survivability

3. Low infection rate + High survivability

4. Low infection rate + Low survivability

#2 would be disastrous, but we're not there now, and hopefully won't.
I mean, like I said, I don’t want to use $lang features that don’t exist in shell script. E.g., I want “exceptions” in the sense that adding a string-typed variable to an integer-typed variable will blow up in a descriptive way (or better, not compile); but I don’t want real exceptions in the sense of being able to catch them. I just want everything to translate to the shell script aborting in verbose and helpful ways before doing something stupid with invalid inputs; or not compiling at all if there’s a code-path that can’t possibly be valid.

Also, I wouldn’t mind if this $lang that compiles to shell script is its very own language I’d have to learn, just like TypeScript is its very own language you have to learn. As long as I don’t have to manually write five layers of guards using impenetrable [ “y${x:-1}” -eq “f” ] style code, and then duplicate the hierarchy of cleanup behaviours after each failed guard, I’d be happy.
I don't know what the tipping point is, but it'd probably take more than one. I've commuted through backed up/stopped/solid red sections on a motorcycle where I just get to lane-split and cruise through, and it'd still stay red.
I wanted something like this in the embedded space (m0/m4). One challenge I encountered was the amount of additional memory and scratch - what does that look like with this?
I got my bachelors and masters from University of Michigan. It was really just an excuse to stick around for a couple more semesters and do another solar car race. After a few years of experience, the masters doesn't really matter beyond what you personally gained out of the education.

There are tons of embedded software projects that lack software engineering rigor. If you're good at unit testing and mocking, for example, there's no reason why you can't unit test embedded code. Applying general software engineering practices to embedded code (effectively) is a good way to differentiate yourself.
Would you still be okay if you only had an average level of wealth (by world wide standards) and most likely much lower than you have now?
If you want to keep your current level of wealth/consumption then in a no growth scenario many others have to stay poor. Or are you talking only about national scale?
