> how do we use that knowledge to perceive having lived a more enjoyable life?

I think this is also a construct of the simulating mind. It is simply a thought (or series of thoughts) that leads you to "perceive" that your past was enjoyable. This thought passes and once it has, there is no concept of your past. Of course this thought might come back again.

I would suggest rather than hoping you can live a life in which you regularly perceive your past as enjoyable, simply observe the fact that you are thinking this thought.

> Is it mastery over self-delusion?

I am not sure what you mean by this.

> Does undivided attention on the passage of time contribute to well-being?

In my experience, definitely yes.

> What resources would you recommend to learn more (e.g. science? Eastern philosophy? etc.)

This is a hard one to answer I think. (Good) Science I think won't lead you astray. Eastern philosophy has so much to offer I think, but there is also a lot of nonsense that you probably should be careful to avoid. I think you have to use your common sense when judging. Does it make sense to you? Does it correspond with your experience, or is someone simply asking you to believe something? (This of course is the scientific process.) BTW, these ideas are not confined to Eastern philosophy, similar ideas were philosophised in the West.

There is so much written about these ideas so I couldn't give you the canonical source of it all. One thing that I probably should mention is meditation. It seems to be the one common denominator. The way I see it, is it's the exercise that practically helps change the way you see, think and act.

If you want some concrete recommendations I am happy to suggest some, but I find it's often more helpful for people to discover what resonates with them.
Apple rejects Facebook app that says Apple takes 30% cut
Or it might be Facebook trying to keep the Apple tax news longer in the headlines. (I'm just speculating)
Great read indeed - it's quite impressive to read these books from centuries ago and realize that people didn't change at all - we still have the same questions and problems to deal with.
I've got this feeling while reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius or Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin - I highly recommend both.
I have a feeling Retrobatch could export Automator actions if it wanted to. I think they’re distributed as part of an application?

Unfortunately I think Automator is on the way out. I suspect we’ll see Shortcuts for Mac fairly soon, so it may make sense for FM Software the wait for that.
Most of the Dutch tax agency and pension calculations run on COBOL as well, and will be for the foreseeable future. Most bank still run it as well. Rabobank switched in 2018 to a hybrid setup with IBM Z (whatever that is) but still uses a lot of COBOL.

On the one hand I'm glad they're using something that works, on the other hand the immense technical debt now stands in the way of tax reform.
Makes a lot of sense. Instead of insurance premiums being paid directly by consumers it'd be paid by car manufacturers who pass it on by slight price increases. It could work very well.

I'm pretty extreme, I'd even accept a look-the-other-way policy for the first 10 years where vehicle manufacturers are given a few extra shields from liability. The potential for this tech to save thousands of young lives is very real and we should be bringing it to fruition with indecent haste.
> I buy a car but I can’t drive anywhere but places I’m either legally allowed or where land owner lets me.

Note that you are not allowed to drive everywhere. You can absolutely drive your car anywhere you want. Including off a cliff if you are so inclined.

This is more akin to shutting off the engine if you are not driving on an Toyota approved road.

Unless the manufacturer decides that automotive grade parts are overpriced and low performance for the price and starts deploying non-automotive/non-industrial grade parts.

Fortunately no reputable automaker would do something like that as they'd surely face dire consequences in the market if they did.
Intentionally making time be permanently stupid is a bit stupid, IMHO. Lots of existing scientific standards that are stuck with old cruft that makes things annoying (like the definition of electrical minus/plus poles), why add more cruft?
>Should it be legal? I mean, why not? If you don’t want one, just don’t buy one. There are plenty of other houses and cars out there!

Easy to say as an end-user, but what if you were a furniture maker by trade? You've been selling furniture for years and then houses start being built that can't use your furniture. Eventually these houses become the largest segment of the house market. Your furniture business goes bust.

As a first approximation, people don't change. If they do, it is usually because they must; because the situation changed in a way that makes their previous behavior impossible.

People don't change because you ask them nicely to. They also don't change just because the consequences of their behavior hurt other people. They might change if the consequences hurt them.

Online teaching companion tool for teachers and students for emotional wellbeing
We have developed a project called Sulli, which is an online learning companion tool to monitor students’ emotional wellbeing.

Currently, the most popular method of teaching is lecture using a video conference application. This method is limited since it only serves the purpose of delivering the class content. We believe that the role of school extends to nurturing the students’ Emotional growth & Wellbeing. That being so, Sulli can connect teachers and students to a new extent.

The name “Sulli” is named after Anne Sullivan, best known for teaching Helen Keller. She taught Keller, a child that was both deaf and blind, while being partially blind herself. Although often overshadowed by the achievement of her protégé, Sullivan was a gifted educator undeterred by limitations of her circumstances. Just like Sullivan was to Keller, we hope Sulli can help all teachers and students struggling with online teaching globally under the pandemic.

Sulli represents non-verbal cues that the teacher would see naturally in a face-to-face classroom environment. It minimizes the discrepancy between face to face classroom and online learning environments in a subtle way.

Sulli is not a replacement for the conference application but a companion to the online classroom application. Students can still raise questions in the chat or through the video call.

Apple has 1.5 billion users. I’m fairly certain they don’t only target technically challenged people.
Adding kids when you don't have a Mrs. Moffat looks hazardous for lots of reasons. The commitment to the relationship is questionable if somebody is holding back on that. Kids shouldn't be brought into an unstable uncommitted situation. Kids won't fix your relationship; they may tear it apart, making you join the ranks of miserable parents fighting over visitation rights and child support payments.
It's a hyperbolic cheeky way of pointing out that they're getting off the hook for their first gross transgression. The GP isn't in any way suggesting mishandling this security issue was equivalent to murder.

They're pointing out that if the transgression were more severe, we'd easily see right through the hole in the reasoning.

I don't think Epic is doing anything but trying to pocket more for themselves, yet I also think that the comments here overstate how "aware" average people are about Apple's restrictions, tax etc.

I don't think most people would consider direct payment to reputable companies like Epic to be a particular security risk. I don't think most realize why they can't subscribe to Spotify from their iPhones, they think it's simply not implemented.

The thing is, Apple now holds a tremendous amount of power over a large set of the population. All the comments saying "just buy an Android" ignore the simple fact that you buying an Android does not change the fact that a significant portion of the market is elsewhere.

I'd be more OK with this if Apple was OK with displaying a 30% Apple tax on checkout. But the fact that they prevent apps from showing it and actively try to conceal it shows that they know most of their customers would ask questions about it, at the very least, likely question if the "benefits" they get in return are worth it.

This works for me (when I have the time):

- keep a notebook with you all the time. Get in to a "mode" where you collect ideas (shitty or not :) ). Similar to to the photographers look when walking through the city you might end up seeing ideas you where not open to see before.

- Get out of the house. Go ta a cafe, to the river, woods etc. Helps focusing and "doing work".

- For finding ideas I use sort of a systematic exploration (prefer a keyboard over a notebook for that one). I guess it helps that I enjoy doing this.

Systematic Exploration:

- find constrains or focus

- see what fits

- once you found something explore in depth

Constrains/Focus:

- I'm good at UI and computers

- I'm fascinated by the nature of information

- I won't be able to build AI

Possible Fit:

- I can see problems in organizing information, maybe there is something.

Explore:

- So what is "organizing information"? Writing down, re-organizing, consuming again. How do they relate? If I can record everything, is that good? Nope, need to be good for consumption or my knowledge doesn't help at all...

- So what might be wrong is a lack of focus on later consumption when taking notes, how can we improve that? Where do people take notes, can I modify that environment? Here we are getting closer to a product...

There is more approaches to the exploration, I could also start with: What costs time and effort in my work? Can I make it more efficient?

Also get used to 98% of the ideas not working out or having flaws when sleeping over them for a night. You will get better at ideas and once you have one worth perusing it will also give you new ideas or morph into another one (nothing ever goes as planned).

Have you tried Webstorm? I am using VSCode for a company project because the team agreed that we all use the same tools. Privately I am using WebStorm, and I like it much, much better. It feels so much more integrated, and all those inspections, refactoring, diff features make it the best web development tool currently available IMO.
When did "jabs" become a synonym for "vaccine"? Australian health officials have been using the term as well. This is imprecise if not outright incorrect language: a drug delivery mechanism (injection or "jab") is independent of the drug being delivered.

Different drugs have different fitness for purpose, side effects and compatibility with other drugs. There is a broad range of research drugs proposed for conferring immunity to SARS-COV-2, only a subset of which have the properties (e.g. low virus dose) of a traditional vaccine.

If health officials want to increase trust, they may want to use more precise language to separate known-good approaches from not-yet-known-good, a.k.a. ongoing research. Do not blur scientific and legal/financial liability categories, which vary by the drug being injected.
The wording of some of the questions is unfortunate.

"1. It is hard to get ahead without cutting corners here and there."

This is actually (unfortunately) true. The powerful have the largest sway over the rules, and therefore the rules (and more importantly their enforcement) favour the powerful. You're left with the moral dilemma of being the nice guy and potentially a doormat, or engaging in varying degrees of rule breaking in order to protect your interests. Mind you, this can also be used as justification by those who are not actually at a disadvantage.

"8. I try to make sure others know about my successes."

This is a piece of advice that everyone would be well advised to follow. If nobody knows of your success, you won't get very far. Or even worse, people will only see your failures, because negative things tend to stick in the mind much easier than positive things.

Psychologists only looks at how you act and not how you feel. So if a narcissist can suppress his narcissistic traits to get love then he isn't a narcissist.

Don't bug bounties usually have some rules for splitting bounties or else paying only the first reporter in case of multiple independent discovery?
That's true - but arguably orthogonal to the topic of fiat vs. crypto. Yes, the government uses coercive force to interfere, but that's very often to counteract various failure cases of the free market. Another thing that makes prices fail is information asymmetry - which, in reality, is a constant of trade.

Crypto or fiat, there will never be a totally unregulated market that works.

In a way, it's like Star Trek TOS epispode "A Taste of Armageddon" - you can't replace war with a simulation (and then voluntary euthanasia). You won't resolve international conflicts through a friendly match of Q3 Arena. It's an unstable situation, because anyone who disagrees with the result can just pick up a club, or a gun, and force their own result - at which point you're back to square one. And so it is with unregulated markets: someone feels cheated, picks up a gun, and you're back to some form of governance.
It's hard to compare to march: there were no testing numbers at that time, it's impossible to know how many cases there were back then when hospitals started to get full of very sick people. We'll probably know in a few weeks.

You seem to misunderstand.

Yes, it does add a tiny bit of validity to the technical aspect. Which is a bad thing, because it encourages those people. Even worse, the headline sounds like it adds much more validity than it actually does, so the bad encouragement is magnified based on their lack of understanding.

There is no cognitive dissonance in saying "ugh, those morons are going to act like this proves their entire claim right, when it actually takes the claim from being incorrect in 44 different ways to being incorrect in 'only' 43 and a half different ways". Nobody is disregarding the evidence here.
but I’d happily donate more if there is there were no risk of paying repeat bounties, given a week between them to fix each category of security failure I learn about.

A better solution would be to only allow a bug to be reported once per quarter, or once per version of the software. If someone finds a bug in v1.0 that's fixed in v1.1, then someone (even the same person) should be able to report the same bug in a different place in v1.1. That's an incentive for companies to use the report to secure the whole app rather than just fixing the reported issue.

This may be my lack of imagination, but I can't see it ever being any other way. Hierarchical governance seems natural to us, pretty much written into fabric of social reality.

Once a group reaches more than couple dozen members, interpersonal pressures crumble as two random people don't really know each other or depend on one another - and you need to create a level of governance in order for the group to grow and stay coordinated. Rinse repeat, and you end up with hierarchical governance we know from every single society throughout history.

I know that "blockchain with backdoors" (or, "blockchain with anarcho-capitalist guarantees removed") goes entirely against the vision on which leading chains are built. But then, I disagree with that vision and consider it naive. I may be wrong about this, though. Time will tell.

> But they aren’t more successful through the blog platform, instead by providing website foundation most companies use to create company websites, e-commerce websites and, a few of them, blogs.

The blog platform provided the very foundation for their success because once people found out how easy it was, relative to the competition[0], to stand up an online presence using WordPress, you could "convert" the blog into an e-commerce website or a CMS or anything you can think of that needs to spit out HTML/CSS/JS, via the use of free/paid WordPress plugins.

[0] WordPress' competition included a wide variety of product categories apart from Movable Type, which used to be the dominant open source blogging platform. From dedicated CMS products like Joomla or Drupal or Plone, to dedicated e-commerce products like OsCommerce.
WordPress fit nicely in the middle of these product categories due to its vibrant plugin community and focus on ease of use (at the cost of security), which is part of why it became popular.

It may suck that Apple makes decisions about what runs, but if rules are there then I would expect them to be enforced. The thing that ticks me off most about this game of chicken is the timing. Pretty much have 10s of kids stuck at home due to COVID-19 who use this to socialize and who have sunk in 10s of dollars getting their access yanked to what they paid for because Epic didn’t want to follow the rules any more. Epic basically is messing with kids when they could have just stuck to lawsuits.
