> There are good reasons to design components to work specifically with other components. There are also good reasons to make devices more modular. Both have value, to different users with different use cases.

If your point is that there is a trade-off to modularity, I'm not sure who it is in response to. It's obvious that modularity has a tradeoff. And I don't see any significant group in this conversation contending that. Nobody is asking for a user-replaceable RAM on an iPhone.

My own point (and R2R's I think) is that Apple, in most cases makes hard to repair products not as a tradeoff in favor of simplicity/compactness/robustness, but to increase profit.

> new discoveries can never give us a later date for when something appeared

It's probably not as common as the other way, but it's certainly possible. A new discovery can cause the estimated time of an event to be revised more recent, moving it closer to the present.

The lack of unified interface is my biggest gripe. I pay £12/month for Netflix, £8/month for Amazon Prime, £6/month for Disney+. Used to have to pay £8/month for NowTV to watch GoT in 720p. My Android TV has a Google Play store embedded in it for me to rent/buy in one tap. I often find myself jumping ebtween 4 different apps on my TV to figure out what content is where to watch, and occasionally end up finding out it's an iTunes exclusive. That's assuming the content is available in the UK at the time - many TV shows just aren't available on any of the UK equivalent streaming services until months later than the US (Mandolorian for example)

I don't want the content for free/bargain prices. I want the content in a reasonable format, that I can play legally on my TV, phone or laptop, and that I can discover easily.

Compare that experience with something like popcorntime, where a user can type in a movie name, and have it streaming in 1080p/4k/highest available quality in under 30 seconds.

I want that, but paid.
This trick might sound strange, but it worked well for me:

Just dress the same in the morning as you would if you would go into the office, and at the end of the day, take off the work clothes and dress as you would normally at home.
Some makes this even further and go out for a walk around the block so they "arrive at the office" and walk again at the end of the day to "walk home".

Really sounds strange and funny, but it helps to put your mind in the right mood.
I just recently went with Postman's API docs for these same reasons. Having used Postman to test while building out my API, it was refreshingly easy to take the extra steps of doing everything "properly" – fleshing out the rest of the variables by pulling out any static values, creating extra descriptions in Markdown, etc – in order to publish it as living documentation.
I think the biggest factor is timing (although backups should also be on a second system).

In short, if anything that happens to the files is immediately copied to the "backup" then you don't actually have a chance to recover from any software problems. Whereas, if you make a copy of the data every night and keep the last 30 copies you can find an issue like this and go back in time to retrieve the files from before it started.
That is exactly why it's important for kids to learn about that divide, and to break through it. To understand the experience of other people, to recognise the injustice of it, and to do something to change that.

The division is caused by treating with different skin colour or ethnic background as lesser, or as criminals. Pretending it doesn't exist doesn't make it go away. It's real, and it needs to be addressed. Making kids more aware of that is absolutely important.
Its amazing to me that Javascript used to be the ugly stepchild that no one wanted to play with but had to, and now is so popular that it influences mainstream compiled languages.

Backups protect against a wider class of problems. For example, a software vulnerability/bug or a human error could result in the deletion of an object in all replicas (because deletions are replicated too), but you'd usually need another incident to occur for you to lose the backup as well.
Everyone entering a car today knows that given the wrong combination of events, they may kill someone, maybe even a toddler chasing a ball. Yet, millions of people still drive daily.

Even cyclists are not free from that risk - when I leave later and take my cargo bike to pick up my kid, I might be distracted in the wrong instant and run over someone else’s child. I try hard not to, but the safest way to reduce that risk would be to walk. Still, I don’t.

We all balance risks, even deadly ones, to us and others, all of the time.
This calls for a "I'm not even mad, that's amazing." meme. It really just shows how deep superstitions can go. Even the company that defended it clearly knew it wasn't an effective method:

I've used glacier. For stuff you don't need to restore in a rush, it's cheap.

I did however have a recent health scare and it made me wonder how my non tech wife could possibly have restored the files as the interfaces are all heavy.

Not a factor I'd previously considered when assessing my backup/restore.

Yeah this is going to be very hard to accomplish unfortunately. I'm guessing the only possible option to do this over the internet at the moment is using Dolphin and VBA-M on the same machine and some complex streaming setup. Dolphin supports linking to the VBA-M GBA emulator, and while this link setup is prone to bugs there are reports it works with Four Swords Adventures [1].

Customer orders are tagged in the market (thus available to all participants) due to laws governing market participant behavior.

I'd argue that more day-to-day problems are solved with extremely usable record types (data class) than are solved with natively-supported HKTs.
Replication is intended to create a 1:1 copy of the data. If data is removed from the primary system, replication will ensure it's removed from the replica.

A backup can be a 1:1 copy but it should be set up such that something going wrong with the primary (e.g. cryptolocker malware), can't affect it (since "something went wrong with the primary" is what the backup is intended to resolve).

To do that you could take the backup offline or use features like filesystem snapshots to ensure that changes can be rolled back.
Yes, backing up photos and videos is hard. However, if you do so professionally, you are probably better off not risking losing data so you should take precautions. If you are a hobbyist, it’s also cheaper for you to do so. The problem is lack of a usable and straight-forward solution, in my point of view.
And yet, both Hitler and Stalin easily steered their parties from socialism to natialism in the same exact time period. As far as ideology goes, both ideas embrase the core Rousseau's tenant of submission to "General Will" and complete, totalitarian primacy of state over a person.

Of course, all government should always be suspect of overstepping it's boundaries, but I still think that countries with common law don't fall into centralized tyranny as easily.
Retreating into solitude, I have given up on my career
Even though my technical and mathematical work has gained the interest of many great scientists, from Cambridge UK to Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics to Wolfram Physics Project to many other wonderful people, it's clear that my career is going absolutely nowhere. I consider universities to be mostly obsolete now, and I have written hundreds of emails criticising universities, to the point that I could no longer finish my mathematics degree and can't get a job or internship. Nevertheless, people tell me my work is important, and they say somehow someday I will be making money. but I don't believe it and I am officially giving up. My only plan is to retreat into solitude and continue my mathematical studies, and I have no idea how to proceed my career.
I really wonder what could be the solution to this. Reviews are a mainstay on the web. It's the underlying social experience of it.

But given the untrustworthy nature of reviews in general, I hope there is some method to capture genuine reviews, filter out the noise and filter up the relevant ones.

Perhaps tech like blockchains could help here, but their use is limited to anonymous identity. Its easy to create enough accounts to influence the system.

The only feasible way seems to have direct user accounts that are tied to actual people, something like on facebook. But that is a privacy issue.

Eventually, e-Commerce might devolve into brands and off brands, where the platform becomes irrelevant and other forms of advertising and marketing take control.

It seems your quote is from lexico.com. How do you respond when someone asks you what type of government does the US have?

Routines are important. I'd recommend that you start working everyday at a specific time and then when it's time to get out of work, have something else to do, in my case that's running. Set up an alarm, go change, do whatever it is, come back, shower and now you're out of work!
replication is not backup and backups need to be replicated too.. and it goes on and on..
Opportunity to switch to metric lost? While I think it’s a bit dumb to not standardize, I grew up in the UK with gallons of petrol, quarters of sweets, weighed myself in stones and drank pints of beer. And none of those things are relative to each other in my head and don’t need to be standardized. They’re units of communication that work for us because we all have a common language and a context, so it’s fine. When they’re units of measurement, everything goes sideways.

I’ve just about gotten to grips with fuel expressed in litres. I suspect it was only changed to make the unit price look cheaper from a distance.
I would add to that, that the offsite one should also be offline.
My 11 year old son gets most of his socialisation online these days. It's not ideal; I wish he'd go out more, but under the circumstances, it's actually quite convenient.
I'm not sure that framing makes a lot of sense here. This was a SaaS product for process automation which seems like a perfectly reasonable product. I would argue in fact that having tech companies (meaning companies which have specific expertise in building software products as opposed to companies that have a expertise in something else and also have an "IT department" bolted on) manage sensitive data is likely to make it more secure rather than less. Companies and other institutions which don't have any particular expertise in software engineering and security aren't likely to do a good job. Of course when those companies do screw up they should be held liable though, up to an including criminal liability is the leak is bad enough and the exploited vulnerability is egregious enough.

I would imagine most of these communications are happening over email. Maybe even over Amazon's own messaging system.
Yeah, I find myself spending 10 minutes searching for something on Netflix only to realize it's on Amazon.

People didn't like cable bundles. Now it's a la carte in various ways and people are realizing that it's not only not cheaper if you want "everything" but it's a fragmented mess.
Super hard to say.

But there are a fiew things you should definitely do:

- Make sure not gender is valued above the other gender.

- No 1 child limit (instead of 2), with a 1 child limit we would have two people having one child, i.e. halving. Which is probably faster shrinking then any country can properly handle (i.e. after a while a horrible ratio of young to old people etc.). A two child limit still will cause shrinkage.

- Don't fixate the law on women, it's unreasonable and put's a further burden on them.

- Make sure your social system isn't incompatible with such a law before enacting it.

- Make sure society is compatible with such a law before enacting it.

- Make sure it's not turned into a money making machine.

- Consider regional differences.

Which would be a view points you should keep to which china didn't bother with at all.

Most problems of the past one child policy in china come from:

- Man being valued much more then woman now leading to there being much more of them then woman.

- To fast shrinkage puts the social system in danger as to view young people have to care for to many old people.

- The laws being abusive to woman.

- The laws unreasonable handling of children which under the law should not have been born but have been born anyway.

EDIT: Just to be clear, there are many more ways to (slowly) shrink a countries population which are based on subtle nudging society in the intended direction instead of enforcing any hard limit on the number of children. Which is probably what China should have done, tbh.

What helped me during the last couple months as well as in the past when I freelanced while traveling for a year, is to have some planned activity in between work and free time, basically creating a moat between the two. In my experience is should at least be half an hour and something that "forces" you to think about something else. Be that going for a walk / do groceries while listing to a podcast, work out, cook, play and instrument, drawing, read a newspaper, etc.
"I mean, there are papers out there about methods capable of extracting complete words from brainwaves"

As far as I know, this is complete fiction right now. Same with images.

There are people currently working with AI interpreting brain signals to be reproducible, to say, move left and right in a game. It's far from working on "left" / "right", let alone anything more sophisticated than that.
This ignores the fact that everywhere (including countries where wealth taxes are implemented today), there is a floor below which the tax does not kick in.
At least with a Tesla there's a healthy aftermarket using the motors and batteries for vehicle retrofits.
That's true, it can depend on the volunteers and the locations of the centres themselves, so it's a bit of a gamble. I've talked to a few of people who've been travelling in Asia and attended Goenka retreats after huge benders, having never meditated before, because "why not, I've got 10 days left on my visa and need to detox". Then the teachers don't speak any English in some cases. Although one person I met who had done exactly that said it was the best experience of his life, getting through it. So there's that.

I'm not condemning the retreats entirely, I just think that having a complete or even relative beginner sit a 10 day intensive vipassana retreat after basically just checking if they do drugs or take medication or not is quite a risk, and people should know that risk. My friend who had a good experience said he had no clue what he was getting into and thought it would just be a nice relaxing experience that feels good. Having presumably sat one, you'll know that's usually not the case, at least for the first 6 or 7 days, which is a long time, and can be very intense when all the advice you get is "keep going and listening to the tapes".

> It's right their in the discourses.

Also true, to be clear I think that Goenka courses are great resources for people who have sat shorter retreats before or have a long-term, stable practice. It's the "jumping in at the deep end" type stuff that happens, partially because they're free and so easy to access, partly because of the "boot camp" style image, that's risky. Many people aren't inclined to dive into early Buddhist texts and make sense of its philosophy and practice before attending a retreat for the first time.

This thought process goes beyond tech stack decisions and gets into software design decisions when you are writing code. Over-engineered solutions, and ones that seem like someone wanted to apply a design pattern everywhere take longer to implement and require more maintenance. If they go off the reservation of common solutions to common problems then when someone else has to pick up your code and grok what it does, it will take them longer, they may not understand it and could introduce bugs.

Keep everything as simple as possible.

For business purposes when it really comes down to it, the tech decisions don't matter. Sure you could choose the wrong technology for a problem but because there is a wrong option doesn't mean there is only one right option, there are probably many right options with different trade-offs.

For example, if you have data with strong, well defined relationships, don't pick a data store that is NoSQL, pick a RDBMS. Does it matter which one? Not really, it matters more what your people are most familiar with since that will go a lot further. Pick based on your non-technical constraints - cost, skills, etc.

This all changes if you are tinkering on a hobby project to learn something. In that case, pick whatever you want. That might help alleviate making boring tech decisions for your employer.

I don't have a fully separate office, but I do have a separate work computer. I don't do work on my personal computer. I don't work on personal projects on my work computer.

I set alarms for when it's time to start and stop work (and take lunch, etc). Schedule helps.

I dress and shave and do everything I would if I were to go out to the office every morning.

I start to cook dinner shortly after work time ends. This helps enforce the schedule.
Yeah I've played through about 20% of Four Swords Adventures with a PC running Dolphin and 3 emulated VBA-M instances, a TV, and 3 monitors, and 3 game controllers. Once up and running it's a great experience, but requires a lot of planning and setup (just like running on real hardware).

It's a shame so few people get to play that kind of game. It's a very social experience and exactly what the Wii U was intended for.

Stop thinking about work as something you do from 9-5. Start planning your day around a more organic schedule. I work in 1-2 hours spats throughout the day, interspersed with working out, cooking, reading, watching youtube, etc. You need to integrate your work and life, rather than thinking of them as separate to get the most out of working from home.
