> When do I just call it quits?

If your partner's mom was treating them this way, or if your son was being treated this way, when would you want them to call it quits?

I know you well enough to feel good about making a suggestion, but I can share my data point: I called it quits with one of my parents after putting up some boundaries (~"I love you but it doesn't feel good when you call and text me every few hours or unexpected show up at my work") and they responded very negatively.

My metric: if anyone (from a total stranger to a romantic partner) ever talked to me that way, I'd cut contact immediately. We have no obligation to be outlets for abusive behavior. I'm probably going to talk to a therapist about it because I want to make sure I'm covering all my bases, but most of the time it feels like a net positive to have called it quits.

I hope you can find some peace and balance, with or without the relationship with your mom. I'll be thinking of you, and I'm happy to chat if you're ever looking for perspective from the other side of the fence.

Augmented Reality having any use has no basis in logic or reason and is a prime example of the mass delusions that exist within the tech industry.
Easily avoided if you compared model numbers from the 2 web sites before getting in the car. Besides, your issue is with the camera mfg for making not-quite-identical models.
Time zones still matter, very few companies are going to go fully remote, salaries are sticky downwards, many companies are going to keep large campuses in elite cities. That said, to the degree living in NYC or SF starts to be seen as the same sort of luxury choice being made by employees that living in a prime beach location is, the comp premium will go down. Employers don't care that you like living in particular cities or that you like living somewhere you can easily hop to other local jobs and, in fact, the latter is something of a negative.
I think the difference between a generally content person and what JJCM is describing is this:

- A generally content person responds fluidly and naturally to negative events as expected and usually goes back to being happy after the negative event

- If you fall on the mania/Euphoria spectrum, things that should upset you and that do upset others do not upset you, there is literally a natural resistance to changing mood

I fall somewhere between a generally content person and the euphoric, probably closer to generally content - but my resistance to mood change is definitely abnormal in that no one I interact with at work or in my family is as even and naturally resistant to mood change as I am.
Don’t threaten them if you don’t mean do it.

Really. A baseless threat will put your mother in the role of the victim—and the power of the victim role will let her throw more abuse on you. She will feel entitled to say nasty things.

Getting the restraining order or some similar action that cuts her off is what will free you from the role of the victim. From this place you can take pity on her. You have taken action to eliminate the oppressor. Maybe more will be needed. If you are ever so frustrated as to feel helpless about doing that “more which might be needed” then you are back at victim.

Good luck!

I don't know about that particular channel, but particularly in the language-learning area with community sourcing, I've seen horrendous translations that do far more harm than good. Getting nouns completely wrong, tenses wrong, etc.

Probably because the people doing them are learning the language themselves, rather than fluent in it. And even advanced learners makes tons of mistakes.

It's one thing if a news article is sloppily translated but you can get the gist. It's a whole other thing when content is being used for learning and so you're actively learning wrong things.

>Giving everything to the rich and leaving the poor to starve has rarely worked out well either.

Not taxing the rich does not equate to "giving everything to the rich and leaving the poor to starve".

Almost all the decline in poverty over the last 30 years was due to economic development which, according to economists who study development, was massively facilitated by the spread of market institutions like property rights

1. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/07/the-pol...

2. https://www.csmonitor.com/World/2016/0207/Progress-in-the-gl...

3. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2013/06/01/towards-the-end...

The solution to poverty isn't for government to take money from the productive and give it to the poor. The actual solution is to increase employment options and the earning power of the poor. Socialist ideologues need to look at the empirical evidence, and the economic literature, and learn that the welfare state works against the solution to poverty. The profit-motivated investment that emerges when people's right to their private property is protected, is the solution to poverty.

Either that's not a full story, or Russia has some _interesting_ banking system.

Here a card is tied to your bank account but is in no way your account and absolutely not the only way to access your money. Companies only know your account mumber to transfer funds to and sure as hell they have no other access to accounts. It is also hard to imagine why would any bank to want to "play along".
Ironic to me that it is completely possible to make pdf copies of a physically borrowed book, and at least in academia making physical copies of chapters of books was extremely common and one of the primary uses of photo copy machines.
This only works if the sound and themes desired are vast enough for that. It's fine if a casual listener is a fan of something like anything house, pop, or electro. It's more difficult if your taste level is more obscure- a specific artist's style, or a specific juxtaposition produced from a one-off album. In that case there is quite literally not enough data to train on to produce further.
Two rentiers fighting it out for the biggest slice of the pie.
My feeling is that at Google, building something novel (e.g. community contributions) is more important than maintaining something (e.g. dealing with spam/abuse in community contributions). Unless it brings in profit or collects valuable user data, anything that takes developer hours to maintain eventually gets canned.

There could be a code silo issue here as well. My understanding is Google dev teams are very mobile and hop from one project to the next, and so the knowledge and desire to maintain something goes away with it.

No. The original Kafka paper does talk about logs in the observability sense as a premise to solve the aggregation problem.

https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~ssalihog/courses/papers/netdb11-fin...

> There is a large amount of “log” data generated at any sizable internet company. This data typically includes (1) user activity events corresponding to logins, pageviews, clicks, “likes”, sharing, comments, and search queries; (2) operational metrics such as service call stack, call latency, errors, and system metrics such as CPU, memory, network, or disk utilization on each machine. Log data has long been a component of analytics used to track user engagement, system utilization, and other metrics.

> We have built a novel messaging system for log processing called Kafka [18] that combines the benefits of traditional log aggregators and messaging systems....Kafka provides an API similar to a messaging system and allows applications to consume log events in real time.

Hmmm...well the facts are what they are, but based on the number of job postings and recruiter calls I'm seeing, it sure doesn't seem much lower. I got a new job starting in early June, and it didn't take any longer than normal (I admit I was probably lucky).

One factor might be that I prefer to work as a contractor, and get my own health insurance; it might be different if you're looking for "permanent" employment. Perhaps employers are more willing to hire someone they've never met in person, if it's as a contractor?

Musicians need to wake up and realize that there is almost no money in recordings. Recordings are advertisements for performances. You make money from shows and concerts.

> Actually, it's often the opposite. In the Boston area, the Apple Stores are always packed while the Microsoft Store (now closed) was usually mostly empty in the high-end mall across the street from the stand-alone Boylston Street Apple Store.

We know that anecdote says nothing. The only thing that the Microsoft store and Apple store sell in common are computers and Mac marketshare is around 10%. It’s not even close.

> Price isn't the primary factor for many people, especially younger people.

If price weren’t the determining factor, the average iPhone buyer wouldn’t live in a household in the US with A 40% higher income.

https://www.comscore.com/ita/Public-Relations/Infographics/i...

> First, there's no real price difference between high-end Android phones—the newest Samsung, for example—and similar iPhones.
A Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G 128GB list price is $1399; the iPhone 11 Pro Max with 256GB (double the storage) is $1249. That's $52.04/month.

Only in the US. My understanding is that most of the rest of the world doesn’t have monthly payment options where the price delta would be more apparent.

But also, there are high end Android phones that cost the same, but out of the Android manufactures, Samsung has the highest average selling price, and it’s like $290 - $100 less than the cheapest iPhone. They haven’t been able to convince many people to pay for high end phones.

> The iPhone is definitely in that category, with 85% of them either owning or intending to buy an iPhone:

A survey also showed that 58% of iPod owners “intended” to buy a Zune in 2006....

Yet another cool feature lost to the fact that the YouTube "community" is a toxic swamp.
We just found a legislative way to break the Google search monopoly - more countries pass this sort of "pay to play" barrier, and Google says no, and then there's space for competitors.
> A product has to be paid for somehow.

Yes, but maybe businesses like Facebook shouldn't exist in their current shape given the amount of data required to make them profitable? Is the return worth the cost?

> Why shouldn't people who want to give up their privacy in exchange for personalized ads be allowed to?

Of course, but how many people are educated on what it actually means? How many people know that Google is an advertising business, not "just a search engine"?

We all know that the incentives of companies like this are not compatible with consent. Stronger regulatory actions and waaaay more emphasis on education is prob. the best we have at the moment.

That's kind of the point. The green section is flat - if you vary the frequency by a couple of nm, you do not see a meaningful change in power input.

From what I see--and admittedly a fair number of the people I know and work with were largely remote before this--many offices at least in the US are never going back to "normal." Most of the people I know are planning to be primarily remote indefinitely. Which means that even those who do go back into an office will have to deal with a largely distributed workplace.
Absolutely constantly being able to get a single linear stream is when tracing becomes super powerful.

By "cannot be doubted" I mean now. I think that even Victor Navasky has given up on believing that Julius Rosenberg was framed. Yes, it was doubted then.

Who did a better job than McCarthy? Quite a few people who did not get any headlines, persons serving in the FBI or in executive departments' security arms.

And I think that one should distinguish between persons who once joined the CPUSA, then later thought better of it, and persons actually engaged in espionage. The US engaged in a certain amount of ritual humiliation of these people, and so won them a degree of sympathy entirely out of proportion to their judgment or character.

In this specific case, I think it's more that they had numbers on use vs. abuse and decided it was too expensive to maintain.

There was no way to have those numbers until the feature existed, so of course it got built. But once it got deployed, oh well... The public didn't use it in a way that makes sense to maintain.

Mania is debilitating, that's one of its diagnostic criteria. The milder hypomania can be both productive and pleasant for some though.

It can be useful to think of bipolar mood and behaviour along two axes: depressed vs. elated mood and low vs. high energy levels. Sometimes people with bipolar can be both depressed and energetic, a so called mixed state. Some manic episodes will be energetic and accompanied by an elevated mood of optimism, joy and even ecstasy.

I agree that full blown mania needs to be treated.
> It is also hard to imagine why would any bank to want to "play along".

More business from companies issuing debit cards for employees. Often such banks are like 3rd tier ones, or complete hole-in-the-wall establishments. Such accounts almost always have near zero interest, or/are laden with high fees for every thing imaginable.

> Either that's not a full story, or Russia has some _interesting_ banking system.

Russia has a very interesting banking system indeed. If organised crime effectively makes a double digit of country's GDP, what else did you expect?

There are a number of banks out there that - once you have an account - you can create additional accounts in minutes. That's useful so you can have one connected to direct deposit for each job, one for Paypal, etc, etc with the bulk of your savings in any account not connected to anything else.
