The only mechanical pencil lead I've found that matches the smoothness of a good rollerball or fountain pen is Pilot Neox in 4B. Although it's my favorite pencil lead, it has the significant disadvantage of smudging easily.
Well, there's a major called Behavioral Neuroscience [1], which sounds like what you're after.

Or you could do a whole undergraduate program just on neuroanatomy. [2]

There's also this subfield called Cognitive Neuroscience [3]

Tucker Carlson once said it was hard to see his flaws after success because “everything about the experience reinforces what you’re doing.”[1]

Fame can be a funny teacher in that respect. The feedback you’d normally get after making a mistake can be smothered by all the praise and money that still pours in, irrespective of the decisions you make (at least in the short-term).

After a while, you can end up being this cartoonish version of yourself, trained by the preferences of other people and what they like and don’t like about you.

I think it’s how celebrities end up in situations where they’re blindly unaware of things that seem obvious to most people or act out in strange ways (like Bill Cosby making a distasteful Fat Albert joke before he goes to court, Kevin Spacey making videos in the persona of Francis Underwood, Britney Spears shaving off her hair, Dave Chapelle’s self-induced “exile”, OJ Simpson posting Twitter videos, and of course Kanye West’s song “I Love Kanye” where he sardonically talks about all the different things people want from him).

Agreed. I lived in the us for five years, it was a shock. The big thing for me was the guns, the constant militarism. Albertans might own lots of guns but they don't take them to pizza hut. And cops everywhere. I was in seattle recently and counted 8 different TYPES of police car on a quick 4-block walk between buildings. Not car paint jobs, different types of police. ICE, fed, state, local, atf... America seems to have more police than not. Canada, all of canada, doesn't feel like that.

> I don't think I'd want to be ultra-wealthy (as in a billionaire+). At that point you're almost removed from society. I imagine you end up moving in circles with other ultra-wealthy people that are actually quite small. You risk being a target of the desperate, the criminally minded (fraud, kidnapping, blackmail, that sort of thing) and the mentally unstable.

That's been the reality of Denmark's richest family (richest ever since CF Møller, head of Mærsk, died a few years ago). They've had numerous run-ins with people after a slice of their wealth. This lead them to keep as far from the public eye as possible (according to one piece I read) until they were the most talked about Danes of the season last year, as they tragically lost 3 of their 4 children in a bombing that was aimed to wipe them out.

It's hard to imagine a worse scenario to survive as a parent or sibling.

I got into GIS because my public high school happened to be a "GIS magnet school." Turned out that was basically the only thing I actually felt interested in actually doing well in.

My university had a geography program where I focused on GIS and remote sensing among other minor focuses (you really have to be multidisciplinary in geography). By the time I finished my Master's they had a dedicated Geomatics program which was a lot more GIS heavy.

Hope that answers your question.

i think you are completely right about this. for one thing, mania/hypomania can lead people to compulsively post, in the same way that it can make people hyper-talkative IRL. sometimes people taking stimulant drugs or having adverse reactions to other medications can end up in a similar state. to me this explains a lot of the strange behavior on the internet, in aggregate, although i make an effort not to diagnose individual people on the basis of some internet comments.

One of the features of a properly tuned fountain pen is that require zero friction or pressure to write. The reason for this is that they transfer ink to paper via capillary action so mere contact should be enough to put a line on the page.

I can't say erasure is a typical ability in fountain pen inks. In fact if you look into Noodler's Inks (two of the rollerballs mentioned come from Noodler's Inks) you'll notice that the creator of those inks leans the other way, toward forgery-proof, water-proof, tamper-evident, archival-quality, fade-resistant inks. Use those, and you'd be able to prove that you wrote it, and no one would be able to alter it.

That said, Noodler's provides "waterase" inks for use on material like whiteboards. Wipe the text away with a wet cloth.

I've recently taken to using a TWSBI Eco (fine) at work for note taking. I write maybe two to three pages a day. What amazed me about it is that the nib felt like using a pencil! It is tuned to run smoothly across the page, but provide a very subtle feedback to give it that feel.

And exactly this is the part where people have problem understanding. If there is no company that you could sell your knowlidge for the sallary you would like to have, it doesnt matter how good you are. I know lots of local developers that are top notch, earning even less, on the other side, forgive me the wording, I know a few midiocre people, that were kicked out of my company as incompetent (they really were incompetent) and later passed google interviews (before anyone says it, I dont want to work at google, there are other more honorable jobs like selling drugs to kids or selling arms to central africa - I'll pass those too)).

Bottom line, knowlidge is not worth a penny, it doesnt matter. Only how good you are to selling yourself and if there is no company preparing to offer you a higher sallary - relocate somewhere else. Or decide not to move and be satisfied with what you have. Like I decided my kid is more important than Tesla and bunch of expansive gadgets (while I do have long term ENTP/INTP relationship with a former photomodel that has IQ higher that anyone that was hitting on her though ;) ). And I am happy. More than most people running for money.

I will repeat it once again. Go for whatever makes you happy. Ignore the money, as a developer you will survive. Dont put money as your goal as you will be miserable at the end.

> I think that both sides create a burden. In my opinion, the difference is that, it is a one-to-many kind of matching scenario. One person (the one opting out of using the preferred messaging method of all their friends) creates a burden to many people, while all those people create a burden just for one person.

I personally rather observe various groups in society with very different kinds of preferences.

If you live with 2 or 3 other SWEs this is an attractive option. You have enough PCIe lanes to pack in 4 GPUs. You have enough spare horse power to also host basic home services like a file server, gitlab instance, home automation stuff, vpn, etc.

I agree. I would never put data in a container in production, but for development purposes it can be helpful.

Yes, that does seem to be true. Though I wonder if the incredible amazingness of the first moon trip together with a sense of competition with USSR actually gave workers throughout the project more personal motivation to put in real effort instead of just being minimum-effort drones in a bureaucracy that doesn't matter to them. Doing it all again will never be the same. Even going to Mars won't be such a massive leap.

In the end everybody eventually needs to learn from written content; not only for the viewers efficiency, but also because it's more efficient for content creators to produce written content over video content.

You can even guess your 'reckon' from looking at the kind of video content that is out there - again, this seems mostly to be a consequence of creator efficiency.

With that said, who cares?

Hell, I sometimes hit up streams - for instance, Antirez has been streaming himself building out parts of Redis 6, because it may introduce me to new techniques or minutae I didn't know.

You're not very familiar with modern fountain pens, are you?

Most don't leak, and if you are really finicky about mess (like I used to be before children) you can fill them with a syringe... not a stray drop anywhere.

The utility (and cost-effectiveness in many cases) of bottled inks, and avoiding the landfill waste of using cartridges is worth the extra effort in cleaning and maintaining a fine instrument.

There are fast-drying fountain pen inks designed especially for left-handed overwriters. Have a look at Noodler's Bernanke series, for example: https://noodlersink.com/product-tag/fast-drying/

Funny story, the inks are named that as a commentary on Quantitative Easing. So much cash had to be printed so quickly, you see, that Bernanke really needed the ink to dry really fast...

Honestly, it wouldn't be bad for the world economy if China were to sell some US Treasury bonds and bid yields a little bit. The smart way to avert the time bomb that is the US equity market is to take a little bit of pain now in a controlled and manageable fashion, in order to avert an eventual uncontrolled crash.

It does seem that people are getting more militant, more aggressive, more angry these days. Kind of makes me wonder how bad the world could get in a sharp downturn like what we saw about a century ago.
Not for me, but good luck!
Some quick thoughts:

- Option A. Bootstrap and get to the point where you can pitch VCs by yourself

- Option B. Build a reasonable MVP, collect some metrics and join an accelerator with a good track record (obvious example is YC, but others exist); some metrics to judge them: average money raised after the program, average pre money valuation after program

- Option C. Family and friends!

- Option D. Good old social networks: you cannot imagine how many angels write "Angel investor" in their bio on Twitter / LinkedIn / etc

>A more high-performance, bare metal implementation of the web would most likely give more stuff for websites to fingerprint you with. You want WASM, but WASM makes the web just as bad as apps in that respect. WASM is going to make it impossible to hide ads (because it will be painted without the DOM) or to block tracking or otherwise malicious code (because it will be heavily obfuscated).

This is true, but what's the alternative? That just seems like a necessary trade-off. Native code will always be easier to obfuscate. It seems backwards to think that we should keep things far more inefficient and consume more cycles and electricity and place things behind more layers of indirection and make web use slower for users just so that it's harder to hide malware. This reminds me of the argument that we shouldn't make cryptography too strong because then it could be used by criminals in a way that even intelligence and law enforcement agencies can't pierce.

There's already a ton of tracking going on, and typically already with heavy obfuscation. The obfuscation doesn't seem to make a difference in terms of practical solutions either way, since the detection and blocking is generally based on origins and IP addresses rather than static (or even dynamic) analysis. And a lot of ad blocking does the same, and should still work for WASM.

For cases where the ads are served directly by the origin and are painted without a DOM, more clever mitigations will be needed, but I don't doubt that people will come up with solutions.

So, yes, the cat-and-mouse game is going to become easier for ad/tracking companies and harder for anti-ad/tracking developers, but it's going to be a big challenge for both parties, just like it is now, and the anti-ad/tracking side is still going to have a lot of success.

Do you need investors for this? Can you bootstrap? How much revenue do you need and how quickly can you get there?

Investors, especially VCs, will want to see how you can become a billion dollar company. If that isn't what you want, then this might be the wrong path to do down.

However, there might be angel investors who agree with your vision and want to help you succeed. I don't know what the scene looks like in the Netherlands but try to go to networking events, reach out to people you find online, etc.

Have you considered bootstrapping until investors come looking for you? This question is a bit like how do we do marketing. The short answer is use your network to get intros. If that fails cold call (use LinkedIn, blogs etc for less generation). Make sure you target on investors that are interested in what you're working on already. You need alignment. Also consider that investors are like sheep running after trends. They also are only interested in companies that can reopen them 100x plus on their investment. You might have missed the investor boat for your specific type of company and that might be a blessing in disguise. If you bootstrap check out indiehackers.com . You can make a successful profitable business that you can work on full time without investors. In fact its easier now than ever.

How much does this vary with the height of the driver? I primarily drive a 2005 CRV, which in my opinion is much larger (higher) than I would want, and I’m about to go check how big the blind spot is, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t 15 ft. My parents have a newer version of the same car and it’s hilariously larger than the older one, it isn’t even the same class of vehicle as far as I’m concerned. Why do ride heights keep getting higher?
