It's true that drugs like MDMA or Mephedrone can cause an outpuring of feelings very much similar to what you feel when really loving someone (in my time in university, Mephedrone used to be called "The Big Love" by partaking students, it was legal then). However, a sober examination of those feelings after some time may reveal to you an underlying "fakeness", in the sense that what you were showing was not really a true image, but rather a caricature of your feelings. It does not mean that you do not genuinely like the person you declared "your true soulmate" while under the influence, but these words really mean nothing unless spoken sober.

As sooon as you start messing with your brain chemistry, everything you say is being stripped of meaning as it becomes more driven by emotions and less by reason. At some point it's like trying to interpret dreams - there might be some emotional content there, but its not applicable in the real world more than just a cause for reflection (which is good) to find some true insights.
It blows my mind. The US has an international reputation for being pro-corporate so from the outside, it makes sense that social networks get away with the lack of accountability they have.

However, a large portion of humanity use social networking tools so US legislation has a direct affect on everyone and potentially (inadvertently) it has an effect on the democratic processes of other nations.

At what point does it become an international issue?
Gluttony cannot be solved by making a better dish, only way to solve it is to moderate eating.

What does a world without social networks look like? I don't think we want that anymore. Because social networks do serve a required function.

For Twitter, I love the fact that I can follow some people that I look upto and get their real time musings.

For Facebook, it's about connecting to friends and people I know and being able to reach out without phone numbers etc.

We are trying to solve this problem the wrong way. So again, gluttony cannot be solved by making a better dish, only way to solve it is to moderate eating

My cat is getting old, one of our dogs is nearly 15, the other has cancer, and my wife has a chronic disease. I’m glad that I can work from home and make sure my family is happy and comfortable. Working in the office has its perks for sure. But at home I have my own office with a coffee bar that is always open and always has the coffee I like. I can cook my own food or order it from any number of delivery services. I can take a nap during the day if I want or go for a run to help clear my head. It’s a net gain, for me, in every way.

Edit as I was thinking about it: I realize I’m lucky. I live in CT and rent is pretty cheap here. We’re only paying 2100/month for a 3br 4bath two story home + fully finished basement. Not everyone has that luxury and in a smaller space I’m sure I’d be more on the fence.

Hello All,

I have made https://www.eaglesearch.xyz as meta search engine.It brings search result from all search engine and resource like Google, wikipedia and youtube on one page. There are more than 10 search or resource engine added to it.

But, I am jinx to turn this product into a market research oriented product. And I am stuck from past 4-5 months that how should I orient it to.

I could make it to

Please help me with ideas and suggestion.

Thanks.
When, I don't know, +90% of public discourse is flowing through a handful of platforms, and they are cutting out what they don't like, teasing out what they do like a gardener sculpting shrubbery to present some customized, skewed version of the public consciousness...yah, it's a problem.

I think the publisher vs platform provisions do need to be revisited. I think small niche sites and forums could be allowed more latitude in how they curate, but at a certain scale a higher expectation of neutrality should be enforced. Really, just limited to taking down obscenity, porn, gore, etc. If any more grey curating is applied (i.e. these platforms attempting to deem for themselves what is "hate speech") there should significant penalties for not applying it generally; for instance, taking down a Trump tweet addressing BLM for being deemed racist in some way, and yet giving a pass to others saying "white loves don't matter" or the like.

A few giant platforms can't be allowed to be the grand arbiters of what is acceptable public speech and what isn't. The influence they have is scary.
Even if all requests were clustered into one hour per day, it’s only 54 requests per second. Pretty sure a Pi would be up to the job.
Interesting about the average walking distance to a pub going up. My rural friends and family must be lucky as they don't seem to have been affected (and here in London you're unlucky if it's more than two mninutes).

I'm not sure about the data for pedestrians being hit on rural roads, though the UK has very low rate of per capita pedestrian fatalities overall, among the lowest in the EU according to [1]. Anecdotally I have never felt unsafe walking on rural raods. I can see how some of the narrower "A" roads (major single carriageway roads with no central reservation, sometimes heavy lorry traffic) might be, though these usually but not always have pavements for pedestrians and if not there's generally an alternative.

Either way, compared to my (admittedly limited) experience of suburban and rural America there is still a big (and welcome) difference. I hope that any downward trend can be arrested/reversed.

Slavery still exists. Illegally, in places many don’t go, for various reasons, all of which are wrong, because slavery. And also legally, in American prisons as forced servitude, which is also wrong, because slavery.
And yet companies make a fortune betting on markets or sports using those exact "Ludic Fallacy" models - like linear regressions, probability etc. They know it's real life, and many someone else is fixing the coin toss, but they can still get an advantage. In any real casino, 99 blacks in a row and they'd shut down the table.
1. Parsers don't care. Humans do. 99.9% of time spent reading the html source is spent by humans, because they are so much slower than browsers. 2. I don't know what "decent" means in this context. Automatic code/quote insertion is wrong when I do not want them. It leads to less readable code.
You could also generate all those files, put that into a GCS Bucket and put an API Gateway in front.

easier would be and thats just a thought: You could build a go/c++/java app which contains that database pre compressed in some arbitrary better format than just 2 floats, get it down from your original 34gig and just keep it in memory.

Like if you know that 99% of all ips in a certain range are from US, then only store the 1% as a list.
Thank you ! Yes you are right about the Readme, it will be updated soon. I have not yet tested under Windows, it will be done soon. Regarding pip, indeed it is to be done too. Thank you again for your contributions.
Work for me has almost always been 10-20% party. I get to be with people. Discuss things with them. Have lunch with them. Do extracurricular activities with them. Design solutions with them. Solve problems with them.

For whatever reason doing any of that on slack/zoom feels super inferior / depressing. One is a playground and the other is solitary confinement.

I fully acknowledge lots of people have jobs they hate at offices they hate. I'm just not excited for this new future where we all stay isolated at home.
> If I see a term that is derogatory towards black people, I have every right to object even though I'm not black.

Karen isn't derogatory to women, it's only derogatory to Karens. There is no implication that women are all Karens, only that Karens are contemptible.

> In fact you seem to be claiming, in this case, that you would only ever object to the term "Karen" if you actually have the characteristics that the term refers to. But, just like with race and gender, you can object to that term even if its implied meaning genuinely doesn't match your personality type.

Except that race and gender aren't personality types, whereas that's exactly what "Karen" is, and it's just the personality type that would object to the term.

> to make it a bit more concrete, imagine the term "little black men" had been used instead. Upon objection, you replied "no, no, no, the term term doesn't necessarily refer to actual black men, just people that behave a bit like black men". That is very much what the term "Karen" is like.

The analogy to "little black men" would be something like "white female busybodies" which is completely different because it's putting the focus specifically on that race and gender.
But that would mean that your API should return a country specific result to be accurate.
To be honest, I like some of those bubbles. I have much more trouble of finding value in engaging in some sanitized, corporate, mainstream, pop culture that looks like the abused child of advertisers, special interest and propaganda.

Yes, some are insular and don't really develop if that is your thing, but you can always have multiple bubbles.

Are you seriously ignoring all the renewable energy alternatives and only considering the worst possible fossil fuel to try to make natural gas a seemingly good option?

FYI, in the first half of 2020, renewables generated 40% of the EU-27’s electricity, whereas fossil fuels generated 34%. Things are moving fast now, and neither gas nor coal are part of the future (source: https://ember-climate.org/project/renewables-beat-fossil-fue...)

Would there be issues with IEnumerables deferred execution?

e.g.

If I run that, nothing happens, neither Inc or IsEven is called... Its not until the results are realised that they will be called. If Select was writing back to xs, would this break?

As the other person said, all that you're doing can still be done by these watches if people want to.

On your system though: what happens if your computer crashes, gets a virus or you otherwise lose the data? You should probably have a backup system right? Now you're adding more steps, and either doing a reasonable complicated 321 setup manually, or back to involving the cloud.

I'm not saying what you're doing is bad, but dismissing easy to use cloud systems is just silly. Ironically I push my runs to the cloud (or clouds, as I go watch -> garmin -> strava) because it's an offsite backup that I don't have to manage. I also then export strava data and re-back it up myself, but I'm a tech nerd so that's just icing.

You're also side stepping any social features. I know people who are very encouraged to exercise because they see their friends doing it, or because they get kudos / likes and praise when they post their workouts. This may not be important to you but for many people it is.

> Can anyone explain how the term "Karen" isn't both racist and sexist at the same time?

It is. There are plenty of decent people named Karen who do not deserve to have their name appropriated as an insult.

Better to say "entitled jerk" or something similar. That way, the only person you're insulting is whomever you're calling a jerk.

I've watched a Thai kickboxing match in Bangkok, and what amazed me, and I didn't expect is that the first few minutes are like dancing, no touching, then it slowly accelerates over say 30 minutes or something to a full out thing. If you can bend the rules in those first 5 minutes, even a sedate developer might stand a chance!

Wouldn’t it become tidally locked eventually and thus “hell”?
Even after reading the article, I’m not sure how to understand the question. Is it: "Social media companies are censoring me and must be regulated" or are they perhaps mixing the platform with the content? Because if Trump writes on Twitter, that’s not Twitter. It’s Trump.

IMHO, social media companies don’t have a lot of political influence. It’s the reach they create for platform users that’s "the problem".
I don't know if you're not just getting there by starting there in that case. "Middle eastern terrorist" is already pretty racist.

Good logging for me involves:

- aggregation from multiple systems

- one-line per event (so I can use unix tools)

- (ideally) enough information to replay some action in the event of a bug

- being able to live-tail it within seconds

- putting a unique, grepable identifier next to each printed output
Ofcourse astrophysical study works better in soace, but who is oaying the added cost of launching telescioes to space?

Travelling to exoplanets is not hard, it just takes 1000 - 10,000 years.

There will be no FTL untill we can manipulate black holes, if ever at all.

So the first trip to exoplanels will be in a multi-hundred year hybernation, or a genration ship, or people that are so different from us that they don't mind the journey.
Would really appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks.

If you want access to dev releases, etc you need to pay Apple too. So to me, the comment I responded to doesn't seem like a good argument for the 30% cut when comparing to actual competitors:

> Apple does much more to earn their 30% than say GrubHub given that iOS apps rely heavily on Apple tools and technologies to create and distribute apps.
> Karen isn't derogatory to women, it's only derogatory to Karens.

I would dispute this point. The term is, at least, derogatory to women who are named Karen -- whether or not they are "Karens".
Yup, all almost 11 of them :)
I can imagine at minimum this would help with bots. Considering the problems you state are actual systematic issues we have in our society I would expect that the verification process should not be perceived as working towards solving those.

Using the AWS Serverless Application Model (Sam)
It's a fairly well-known trick where you play 2 strong players at the same time: You take the first player's move as white and play it yourself as white in the other game. So the two boards have the same position, with you playing different colours. That way you will have an even score in the 2 games. He did that with 4 pairs and the 9th was the head of the uni chess orgnisation, a weak player he beat easily.
One core example of modeling something as a game is dating (as in "The Game" by Neil Strauss).

Two literal takes on that are:

- "Super Seducer: How to Talk to Grils" a (somewhat controversial) game on Steam by Richard La Ruina, a Pick-Up Artist - https://store.steampowered.com/app/695920/Super_Seducer__How...

- "If Dating was like Who Wants to be a Millionaire" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E33j3gQg98

While some analogies of a game are in place (depending on someone's action, it's "fail" or "progress"), I think that the worst fallacy is that one always can, and should, "win". Depending on the attitude, it is anything from frustrating (obsessing why one has failed despite the effort, or ending in a relationship with a wrong person) to outright dangerous.

I never said she was the first, but I don’t disagree. She was still in the room when it happened, and she published her findings. Kind of a big deal for a woman of her time.

> According to what Lovelace’s biographer Betty Alexandra Toole, author of Ada, The Enchantress of Numbers: Poetical Science (Strawberry Press, 1998) explained to OpenMind, “she saw what Babbage did not see: the machine might work on other things beside numbers, e.g. symbols.” For Swade, Lovelace was “remarkably visionary” and “saw the reach of computers extending beyond mathematics into life and science.” Woolley recalls the fact that Lovelace noticed how the punch card system of Babbage’s machine was similar to that of the complex looms of the time.” When she observed that ‘the Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves’, she showed what imagination could reveal that mathematics alone could not.”

“[video]” How to Break Up with Someone You Love
Weird right?

You would assume that Amazon allows you to properly slice and dice their product catalog but i think that is something we do but the avg person doesn't.

When i need something and i know exactly what it is, i will search for it on amazon and other retailers to find a good price, most of the time with comparision services.

If i don't now exactly what im looking for i will research the market: What is a common producer/brand, who is known for good quality, what variations exists, what was the model a year before, whats the price difference, whats the feature difference. I don't think thats the normal behaviour.

People like to go to electronic markets to 'browse' and get advice.

I’m not saying CUDA is not valuable. Heck, proprietary has a ton of value... see how Intel owes much of its position to its compiler (the FORTRAN one in particular) suite.

Of course you don’t get to dominate a field to such an extent without some redeeming positive quality.

What I’m arguing - or more appropriately, what I’m wondering - is why on Earth aren’t consumer consortiums not insisting on open-standard platforms.

I get how you want to eek every drop of performance out of your tools without making it your only mission (that would be the research you’re using the tool for), but tying yourself to a single proprietary vendor defeats that purpose imho

This is a rather lazy strawman. Monopolies and cartels have always been the primary threat to efficiency in all free market models. All serious proponents of free market economics have always identified the importance of regulating monopolistic and cartel-like behaviour (aside from the anarchists, which is mostly an extremist form of libertarianism).
That sounds somewhat along the lines of Warren Buffet's 5/25 rule.

> Learn to cook

I full support and advocate for this - however, eating out is often an experience vs just having a nice meal. I love cooking, but occasionally a nice meal out is preferable. In the absence of that, my bank balance has grown, but my desire to do more cooking of the sort I'd get out has diminished.

I do love cooking, but to replicate some of the experiences you'd get out, you do have to spend a lot more. Obviously you can cook a lot more home-friendly meals, but when you start doing anything especially interesting there's a large increase in cost as you pick up specific little ingredients to do a nice meal at home once in a while.
Suggest to try syslog-ng.

Have a syslog-ng running locally on all your hosts and forwarding logs to a central one. Applications can easily send logs to syslog, all languages/loggers support it.

The central syslog can listen for remote logs and save everything into /storage/hostname/year-month-date/file.log for example. This allows you to grep everything from that host.

It's simple and it uses very little resources.
Sure, the modern ones are better. But they are also very expensive, and usually only come with the higher end hardware too.
