> Wouldn't a rational society also deal with likely and possible scenarios?

I have yet to find a good way of phrasing this, but there is the phrase "justified true belief" that captures a whole discussion in philosophy on knowledge. However, that debate only covers the past and present, it can't cover the future. Perhaps what I'm looking for is something like "forward-looking statements" in the SEC sense - statements about the future which are inherently probabilistic, but the statement-maker has a responsibility to be truthful and advance a reasoned argument for their plausibility.
Instant deployment and obsolescence is the same sentence. Do you not see the contradiction? Also, how on earth does the web not have a separation of concerns between business logic and UI?

It is absurd because we know it is factually incorrect. That claim is as absurd as flat earther's claim.

> cooking would have helped ease the evolutionary transition to being able to digest meat.

There was no evolutionary transition because our human and non-human ancestors all ate meat. We didn't evolve to digest meat, we evolved from meat eaters.

> aside from that we are still very poor at digesting meat.

No. We are very poor at digesting vegetation. We certainly aren't poor at digesting meat. We just digest it better by cooking it. The same for vegetation.

How did I know you'd link to this nonsense? Also, the independent barely qualifies as news.

Do you know why vegans are viewed as the culinary equivalent to flat earthers or anti-vaxxers? Because you deny history, science and common sense for your agenda. If you don't like meat, then fine, don't eat it. It's your loss. But don't lie about history, evolution, etc. You might win a few people to your cult but the vast majority people will see right through you and be put off.

I think the magic to good note taking is to develop a discipline to write and having a system that supports organized note taking. I have found small little things can derail building a good discipline. For example, for years, I had been using vimwiki for my note taking, which is overall excellent, if you love vim, however is not readily available when you are away from your computer. For me this led to two sets of notes - one in vimwiki and another in Apple Notes app. As a result, I found myself disorganized and confused at times.

More recently I decided to drop vimwiki alltogether, a hard decision given that vim is my natural habitat for writing. I instead decided to fully adopt Apple Notes app as my only note taking app. I am finding that I am pretty happy with it. It provides a decent structure to organize notes and it's available on all devices that I care about.

I also found that having a "Scratchpad" note, eases my cognitive load, when I want to quickly brainstorm something, without having to worry about which folder/category/project the note should land in.
In what way is right more disorganized or was? Both extreme right and moderate right are full of groups, think tanks, movements, grass root movements and what not. Whether you decide right as economics or as dealing with social issues (women, race) or religious, it was never disorganized.

Their initial response was to do largely what the USA is doing now. Hide the impacts, pretend everything is ok.

They only reversed course when their hospitals became so overloaded that they had to do something.

People seem fixated on this idea that a 1-2% death rate is going to be mean that 1-2% are going to die, but this ignores hospitals being overloaded.

From: http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/02/study-720...

A total of 81% of cases in the JAMA study were classified as mild, meaning they did not result in pneumonia or resulted in only mild pneumonia. Fourteen percent of cases were severe (marked by difficulty breathing), and 5% were critical (respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction or failure).

So from this study, 19% of the cases were severe and required hospitalization. There are 320 million people in the us, lets say 30% get it at once. That's 320m * .3 * .19 = 18 million people. Of course, some of that 18 million will be taken care of by hospitals, but that would account for only a tiny fraction, there are only about 91k ICU hospital beds in the US

From: http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/cbn/2020/cbnreport-02...

46,500 medical ICU beds in the United States and perhaps an equal number of other ICU beds that could be used in a crisis.
> But a lot of people think it's just a distribution problem. It isn't.

If you look at the data that Piketty puts forward in his earlier book ('Capital-21st'), it shows that things were much more evenly distributed in past decades, and that since ~1980 there's been a lot more concentration of wealth.

Further, if you look at Gini coëfficient (a metric which Piketty is not a fan of, but it can be useful) of various countries, you can see some have more equality than others.

The US is at roughly 41, but Canada is at 34; that hot bed of socialism, Switzerland, is at 32.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_eq...

Why can't the US be 34 (or 32) as well? Why is the pie not big enough for the US, but is in CA or CH? In 1979 the GINI for the US was 34:

* https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SIPOVGINIUSA

The pre-tax income share of the Top 1% was below 15% from 1953 to 1983 (almost going down to 10%), but now it is at 20%: what about the "pie" has changed such that it cannot be brought down again:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_in_the_Unite...

> If all the wealth was shared equally

Straw man: how many people are asking for 'perfect' inequality, i.e., a Gini of 0? Norway is at 26, Denmark and the Netherlands at 28, Austria at 30, Germany at 31. Are these places where you can't buy a private jet because the government is taking away "too much" from the rich?

Here's some quick&dirty stats from the list of revoked certificates: https://gist.github.com/SpComb/6338facd12e020ec4fe561ca91f32...

There's 3M "missing CAA checking results" in total, of which 2M are dated from 2020 and 1M from last month. FWIW the only certs of mine affected were old certs from 2019-12 which had since already been renewed in Feb, and the renewed certs are not affected?

The largest account has 445k certs revoked, and the most revoked certs from last month (most likely to still be in active use?) is 43k for a single account. I hope your rate-limits are in order if you're going to start reissuing all of those before midnight :/

The architecture they have ended up with is similar to that described in Out of the Tar Pit, which describes how to remove as much complexity from software as possible.

By moving all state into SQLite they have implemented the "store state in relations" layer, and then written (as far as possible) functional code on top.

I've been thinking about how to make my software more like this so it's interesting to see Facebook are thinking along the same lines.

There's a lot of really good ideas in Out of the Tar Pit and I'd really recommend reading it.

It should also be pointed out that the Deed Poll pictured isn't an official document in any meaningful sense. In the UK, you pretty much change your name by starting to use a new name and telling all the official bodies that you have done so - and asking for new paperwork in that name (including passports etc).

But that adaptation is not a meat eating specialization. Stomach acids are rarely the adaptation, it is the digestive enzymes or gut bacteria that are the main drivers. And humans have none specialized for raw meat.

Cows can easily live and thrive on fishmeal but that does not mean the adaptations happened so cows can eat fishmeal.
It's possible to get to a stage eventually where you're making money daily without needing to put in a full working day every day (e.g. selling a SaaS/app/ebook, consultancy retainers), but that's not likely to happen without many hours invested beforehand somewhere.

I'm guessing it's extremely rare you can create + sell something with minimal hours invested with little specialised experience though.

I agree though, I think you're always going to have some level of ongoing responsibility as well e.g. responding to customers/clients, keeping an eye on server issues, checking up on contractors, marketing.
I like to do hand writing and drawing doodles for everything I want out of my head for the moment. I use small notepads for this purpose, so that the space is limited to store just the information that is important. If I work on a different topic or fraction of a larger one, I start a new page. The doodles help me to visualize a topic or a structured problem.

Later on I write down everything in Emvi [1] and add more detail, so that I know what I was thinking. The articles can be linked to each other to build deeper knowledge from small fractions of information ("structured by content"). I wrote about this concept on our blog [2]. We also have a few students that use this system in Emvi with great success.

I hopes this helps you to take better notes. Just try a few different methods until you find one that suits you.

How to Stay Permanently Motivated
My study notes -- like virtually everything I have written for the last 30 years -- are solely in grey pencil [0].

> Use coloured pens

That didn't work for me, for two reasons:

Firstly, with coloured pens or highlighters, switching pens slows down the process of writing too much. Instead I just use pencil, and summarise, focusing on making strong logical connections with other stuff I am learning.

Secondly, I don't read my notes enough that colour makes any difference. I found I retain information best by writing, re-writing and summarising. Actively writing engages all my brain. Just reading notes isn't enough to make it stick.

On English Wikipedia, the tilt is not exactly "left." It's generally more "liberal" (in the American sense). The group of editors that controls American politics articles pretty clearly isn't feeling the Bern, for example.

But this is highly dependent on the topic area. Some pages are controlled by relatively right-wing pro-Israeli editors, others are controlled by pro-Palestinian editors (and many are caught in the tug-of-war between these groups). Different groups control different topic areas, and some of those groups can be extremely right-wing.

Yes, that is true (though at the same time things have been massively improving in average). What I find amazing is that we live in a time where a person living in a (relatively) poor country, working a non-management job, paying all taxes, _can_ actually get fairly rich. Employment really isn't "slavery".

Would it be great if more people could achieve prosperity - ideally, _all_ people? Yes it would. However, just "take the money of the rich" is not a solution for this (we can argue about details of taxation, and I don't think in particular USA has a good system, but that's more of "fine-grain detail" in the end)

> it is an economic system which awards a vastly disproportionate share of resources to people like Musk and Gates that deprives others of those same resources.

I've lived in communism. It really is equal sharing of misery, _not_ equal sharing of reward. The reality is that Musk really puts in way more effort & takes a lot more risk than your average factory worker. But at the end of the day - not even that is what matters. What matters is that by attempting this "equal sharing of resources", each and every time it was tried, it resulted in a horrible dystopia. Not sure what it would take to convince people it's an inherently bad idea - but I feel that at least by now the burden of proof should be on the shoulder of those who advocate it.
