First days of quarantine, but it being clear that this is going to take a while (Living in Colombia, most of the world has already been hit at this point), I realized that this might well be the easiest time for the rest of my life to change habits because of just how influential your environment is on those.

But it could change as easily for the good as well as the bad.

Thus I made a very concentrated effort for the good even tough work was incredibly stressful at the time. Stopped smoking cold (after 15ish years), more physically active outdoors (also to deal with loneliness and confinement living alone far from family in a large city), daily, much more money/time effective and healthier cooking (I used to mostly only do very elaborate fancy dishes on weekends), more focus on hobbies like music and painting.

Personally it looks like the lock-down which is still ongoing almost 20 weeks in, will have a long lasting positive impact on my life. But unfortunately I also know a couple of people who went in the exact other direction.

So I think there will definitely be impact on society, but it is too early to tell whether overall positive, negative or neutral.
“Radical Markets” is the book I stole the idea from, although they advocate for complete ownership transfer instead of perpetual licensing, which seems a bit unfair to me.
If it's too thin for it, it's fine - it's a valid excuse. But if it's not and it's just a trend, then no, it's not good.
men fashion does not go out of style in 6 months (in 10 years, though, some trends do change).

Also, Architecture, music and movies also have trends.

Not a lot Brutalism projects are started today and westerns have been replaced by superhero movies. It does not make any of these projects pointless either.
The main argument against this, which I personally believe, is that the first bomb should have been dropped on a remote Japanese island or area. I don't believe this would have lead to an end to the war but I believe a second one in a more populated area would have, saving Nagasaki at least
What exactly makes a culture "authenic"? The funny thing is historically I can think of plenty of counter examples. Chokers caught on because of a high status woman wanting to cover up a neck scar. For better or worse that fundamentally is part of culture. Criticizing cultural practices is as well of course.
Even so, doesn't mean you have to do a land invasion or drop atomic bombs. You can just deny Korea and Taiwan and leave Japanese mainland be.
Thanks for telling me, Mr Seaton!

I'm glad to know, I had no idea, I thought ruby had the Graal situation monopolized.

Where could I find out about developing for Graal? If I had a custom vm for my own language, how could I go about moving to Graal?

Perhaps such a thing is not done, and I'm just ignorant to it.
If you have one, it could be the last one. If you have two, you could have infinity.

For some reason, this reminds me of the refactoring advice.
Just getting more spectral efficiency when signal strengths are high benefits all users. Lots of towers are at saturation over the air now, so if we can squeeze more bandwidth out of them, traffic that is presently being delayed will do better... even before we account for growth.

That is, 5G isn't just mmwave; it's also getting more out of existing low and mid band spectrum. (And mmwave, of course, will unload the other spectrum too somewhat in the densest areas).
Normal pants aren't necessarily uncomfortable. But, when the weather is cooler (I haven't had on a pair of long pants except for doing some yard work that required it for at least a couple months), I tend to wear tights or sweats around the house which are more comfortable.

After all, I used to wear a suit in the office. If it was well-fitted it's not that uncomfortable but doesn't mean I'm going to wear it at home.
There's a difference between fashionable junk and fashionable quality. The difference is what Jobs and Ive call "design".

Spending extra on design isn't the eco disaster that spending on throwaway fashion is.
>Truly inspiring in comparison with the robotic obedience of the Japanese who would dig in to protect their island, whatever the cost may be.

That's not quite the case. The conditions of surrender proposed, which the Japanese government rebuffed (or, 'mokusatsu'[0]) particularly included that Japan surrender its control over Korea and the island known now as Taiwan. It's more accurate to say that the Japanese empire would dig in to protect the areas they'd acquired, not just their island. In Korea, they'd put a lot of effort into trying to integrate the peninsula into Japan proper, for example linguistically.

A signal like that would require a tiny amount of bandwidth. Latency is important, but it could also be done peer to peer without a network.
I recently got a macbook after having never owned an apple computer (besides a 2nd hand iphone 5). The improvements compared to windows and linux are really impressive. This device does exactly what I want it for; unix native shell support and performance without linux problems. Windows still has it's place, but Macbooks still provide real value.

> The argument I would make is not about censorship but preventing people from spreading lies.

Limiting speech is by definition censorship. There's no value judgement required as to the quality or veracity of that speech to determine whether or not restricting it counts as censorship.

> the freedom of speech in the US is strongly correlated with conspiracy theories

...and water is highly correlated with drowning. We don't say 'water bad, less water'. Just because one thing is a prerequisite for something else doesn't mean it is responsible for that other thing. We have to look to, like you point out, the political climate, as well as the lack of trust in institutions, the education system, and many other factors. Taking a complex issue around how information is shared at an unprecedented speed and scale and saying "just ban it" is, I think, a shallow assessment.
There was no conditional surrender possible. The Japanese were still demanding to keep their “colonies” in China and elsewhere. Agreeing to that would be agreeing to continue the Japanese holocaust against the Chinese and the peoples in their other captured territories.

And from the Allied perspective, after the Bataan death march, the massacre of surrendered US troops and civilians in Wake, and the hundreds of similar massacres of surrendered allied troops, and rape and murder of nurses and civilians, across the Pacific, no one was going to allow the Japanese leadership or military off the hook.
Oddly, the same anti-5G people seem to have no interest in protesting against government inaction related to the unshielded nuclear reactor that causes millions of cases of cancer every year through ionising radiation.

Also the same people that are the type to complain vocally about the harmful effects of 5G seem to be the type to complain just as vocally about the fine they get when they're caught texting while driving.

I'm not outright saying they're all a bunch of loud-mouth hypocrites, I'm just saying I've made some observations that warrant more research. I think we should ban them all, just to be safe, until we have more information. Don't you agree?
You may want to re-evaluate your opinion. The "tracking microchip" conspiracies mostly stem from tracking chips (dumb RFID) used to tag wildlife.

These people don't know how the technology works, but they do know that we tag and track animals. They're not wrong that we use microchips in this fashion.
It's Not You, It's Your Knowledge Base – Thoughts on Better Note Taking
There are credentials and there are credentials, right?

The difference between a trained lawyer or accountant and someone with a lot of exposure to such knowledge is very specific skills and procedures. The difference between someone who is a trained manager with a degree and someone who's managed a medium sized organization is more or less nothing just an ability to use jargon.

I've actually looked online courses and documentation on epidemiology and public health. Unlike medicine (which I know nothing of) or advance mathematics (which I know and I know it take specialized skills), epidemiology seems to be a "smattering" sort of fields. A mix of public policy, simple medicine, biology and experimental methods and statistics. I could be wrong but it seems a field that's wide, not deep.
The nuclear bombings saved at least a million Japanese lives. It can easily be argued it would be a war crime not to drop them.
I have a question for anyone reading this thread:

Do you believe you can get consistent results with any search?

For example, if we pick some uncommon search terms will we get the same results on the first search, the second search, the third, etc. Or will the results change?

I did a search with some terms from one of the comments in this thread, in quotes. The first search returned only one result: this thread.

As I searched the same quoted terms repeatedly along with additional terms, more results were returned that contained the exact string of original terms. Surprised by this, I tried a search with only the original terms, in quotes, once again. This time the search returned more than just the one result.

They varied. The one I currently work for is fairly large (~300 people in software and product, which constitutes maybe 1-2% of the total number of employees). I've worked for larger and smaller companies, though.

The company I work for now actually has fairly long tenure times, 4 years or more. There really isn't an expected ramp-up time. Each project handles onboarding their own way. "Hit the ground running, learn as you go." is pretty popular.
Rule of thumb for cable laying is between $20K and $100K per kilometre (0.609 mile) depending on environment. (Besides the actual laying, there's design, permits, landowner agreements, surface restoration, testing, certification, blah blah).

So your friend's parents' $20K gets them a kilometre of dark fibre. Maybe.

Edit to add: point-to-point wireless links might work better, but there again for a reliable wireless repeater you're looking at tens of thousands of dollars minimum in a rural environment. And in Kansas you're going to get bad Fresnel occlusion, so you need really big towers.

Chrome will suspend/discard inactive tabs when when the memory pressure is high, and reload it back when you activate the tab again, so you probably can open 1000 tabs and leave it alone without much impact (this feature is exposed as an api and can be triggered by extensions: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs#method-discard ). But when you activate them all I imagine it would consume too much system resource.
I bet google wont implement that part... Just like they didnt implement ad-hoc wifi

But all of the problems being discussed here are related to commuting; none are related to cars.

Commuting through a big subway system takes just as much time while being much less pleasant.
This is one of the most ridiculous statements/questions I've ever read. Just read history. There are ample examples of why we should not give the government control of communication channels. Wow, just wow.
Because software engineering is expensive so the guy who wrote the app got paid peanuts and told to implement the login in 2 hours because that's how many "story points" were attached to the story. If you take too long, it will show up on your performance review, so instead, I'll just drag in the random Facebook SDK just to enable login... and your data's gone to Facebook!

Yay, Silicon Valley!
The Japanese offered to surrender if they could continue to control their captured territories, essentially continuing to rape China. That’s a hell of a condition to allow them.

Since when is 'fast fashion' 'high fashion'?

'Fast Fashion' is not even 'fashion' - it's literally just 'clothing'.

So yes we wear 'cheap clothing' and it has pollution effects, which are greater than 'aircraft' but not nearly as big as other industries.

And as to the premise of the article, making 'stretchy pants' is in no way more environmentally friendly than making 'more formal attire'.
Instagram is also in the process of knocking them off. That didn't work out so well for Snap.
Well the parent comment seemed to claim that C syntax is more based on mathematics than Haskell. I don’t want to comment on what is better. Mathematicians tend to care quite a lot about notation and finding good notations but that notation typically doesn’t have to last very long or travel very far.

People tend to take it for granted that having very variable situation specific notation is bad but I don’t think it’s obviously true.

I certainly don’t think it’s obvious that programming language syntax should be based on the kind of high school algebra notation people are familiar with because that notation is mostly useful for manipulating sums of products of variables raised to powers, and one-argument functions thereof. I don’t think programming fits that category or that addition and multiplication are particularly important operations in programming.
Appreciate the explanation, not information that’s readily found when you search explanations on dead batteries.
Tailoring is probably most obvious, especially if you're not really a standard size. And that's expensive even if it's only semi-custom.

I'm sure there are reasons but I'm actually a bit surprised that more customization isn't a more normal thing on the internet for a modest premium. I assume some combination of the economics and the way customization has to happen don't work in some way.
>censorship but preventing people from spreading lies. Even in the US where people hold free speech as some amazingly virtuous thing there are still curbs on speech

There are relatively few constitutional curbs on speech. For example, shouting "Fire" in a crowded theater is legal by default but there are a few exceptions. ref: https://www.popehat.com/2012/09/19/three-generations-of-a-ha...

>I'm saying is these limitations can be enforced in WhatsApp.

1) Are you speaking of constitutional curbs on speech (because there aren't many)? Or are you talking about curbing speech that is believed to yield negative outcomes?

2) How, precisely, could these be enforced? I ask because automated moderation at scale is impossible to do responsibly and consistently. This will not change anytime soon.

3) Gates seems to be demonizing encryption. Few options can logically follow that position. Either Gates advocates replacing beneficial (to everyone) encryption with vulnerable (to everyone) encryption or he advocates banning encryption outright. It's difficult to see how either of these outcomes would benefit anyone (other than authoritarian governments and similarly repressive interests).

Even if Gates got his way on #3 (make everyone more vulnerable), #2 remains technically impossible.
THIS is why I hate Apple. This company has nothin to do with Apple, so they have no reason. This isn't the first time they've done something like that either.
How would such a thing work though?

Would it be a map of unacceptable things, or an on device model like GPT3? Would you allow someone to type the offending thing and just disable the send button, or would you block it at the keyup event?

I don't see any way this could be implemented without kissing freedom goodbye.

I like the other commenter's take that this idea was just a bit out of exasperation.
The entirety of my grandparents generation being able to Facetime their grandkids all over the world since 2010 isn’t a Veblen good.

My time doing tech support going down to zero because the solution is either power cycle the device or take it to an Apple store is not a Veblen good either.

Write down what you plan to do each morning and why you’re doing it.

To create any sort of impact it takes effort. Effort is your input, and impact is output.

Prioritize impact/effort first. Automate and delegate things that take effort but don’t have much impact.

Not invading or dropping nukes would mean the deaths of millions. The Japanese would still fight, Japanese and Allied planes would still get shot down and warships sunk. Japanese Civilians would still be dying at a high rate, from bombings, starvation, lack of medical supplies, etc.

Before these bombs were dropped, tens of thousands were dying on days with no large military operations.
>The fabric, maybe, but the amount of time some workpiece requires can be vastly different and might require more experienced hands. This can be especially true for tricky materials, such as leather and wool.

The thing is, for things like high quality clothes from leather and wool, I'm going to hit up a leatherworker's shop or something like the sheep wool clothes store they have in town here. Those things cost a bunch, are unknown designers or whatever but they're made locally out of high quality materials and are the kind of thing that should last a decade or more.

I'm not adverse to spending money on good expensive clothes, I'm adverse to spending money on expensive clothes where you're paying for the name of a designer.

If I'm going to drop that much money on a shirt or something, it's going to be from a local tailor or seamster. It's going to be fitted to me and it's going to be made of high quality long lasting materials. It's the kind of shirt that gets passed onto the grandkids or something.

>Yeah, if you are the emperor, you can be naked too. :)

What i've noticed is, except under very certain circumstances, most people are too worried about what they're wearing and look like, again unless you're overly ridiculous looking or something, to really notice your clothes. The exception being unless it's something they want themselves, or they're trying to find something flattering to say to a date or potential date.

>Me too. But not every decision is made on rational grounds and there is no 2nd try for first impression either. :)

First impressions are overrated. As long as you can make it to the second impression. The second impression is the one that counts. It's the one that's judged more thoughtfully and rationally, the one where your guard's down and such. This is why we have probationary periods in jobs, even for candidates with excellent first impressions and why once the honey moon faze of relationships end, problems tend to start.
