One of the reasons I voted for him this time, even though I didn't in 2016.
Famously, after the Greeks triumphed, the soldier-messenger Philippides set off at a run toward Athens to announce the good news, covering the roughly 25 miles without a break. When he arrived at the Greek assembly, he burst into the chamber, exclaimed, “We have won!,” and died on the spot.

That doesn't really do justice to the story. First he ran more like 150 miles to request assistance to help them combat an invading force. The 25 or 26 miles he ran before dying was the tail end of a much more epic effort.

I made my peace with my mortality in my thirties when I spent a year at death's door. And then, silly me, tried to share that with people in online discussions and it didn't go like I expected.

One day, someone older than me more or less told me "You are scaring people because they haven't yet made their peace with their own mortality."

Stories like this can be a good thing to write for the author. It can be a therapeutic process that helps them get unstuck from a big emotional experience and move on and live more in the present with the time they have left.

And it can be experientially valuable to the reader. It can be interesting to read of the subjective experience of coming that close to dying and what that looks and feels like to this one person who stood that close to the void and didn't quite fall in.

But stories like this are unlikely to help most people come to terms with their own mortality -- though if you, also, find yourself standing on the precipice or having recently come back from it, stories like this may be especially meaningful and valuable. But for those who haven't spent time anywhere near the precipice, this is highly unlikely to be some means to deliver enlightenment or some such.

How you relate to a piece like this will have a lot to do with where you are in life and where you have been.
It was legal to record TV, using VCRs and DVRs, for time-shifted viewing, due to the alternative being that the content could not be consumed at all (at the time of the Betamax case, episodes were broadcast once, and generally not re-broadcast unless they were extremely popular, and were not available for purchase individually or even as part of a collection).

Today, there are a multitude of options for consuming TV content, and due to the (recent) creation of time-shifted licenses, the fair use justification for standalone-DVRs has mostly gone out the window (which is why they're not for sale anymore; for example, Tivo no longer offers standalone DVRs; Hulu, cable companies pay for time-shifted viewing).

As Youtube was always on-demand to begin with, the time-shifting justification for recording TV in the Betamax case never applied.
"The Genocide Convention, to which China is a signatory, defines genocide as specific acts against members of a group with the intent to destroy that group in whole or in part. These acts include (a) killing; (b) causing serious bodily or mental harm; (c) deliberately inflicting conditions of life to bring about the group’s physical destruction; (d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and (e) forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. Any one of these categories constitutes genocide."

I wish they published more raw data. The counts they have in the paper are over the whole group without a split over preferences. Then the paper says: "only female respondents who identified as a “cat person” found him more desirable for short-term or long-term relationships." and we find out that 21% were "cat people" compared to 44% who were "dog people".

This seems more "people like dogs more frequently than cats" than anything else. Or "people presenting minority trait X are not preferred (apart from others who present the same trait)".

The one problem I have with solarpunk is that much of the fiction is simply not that good.
I think most emblematic of that is maybe Cory Doctorow's book "Walkaway".

I have lately come to accept that the book had a huge influence on me; it just keeps coming up in conversation. Well... I bring it up, because it struck a chord, and because it fits well with the conversations I have.

But the writing is so.... aaaargh, so shoddy at times. And half of the book is just a brain dump of ideas and projections of current trends in the future, but it's just not presented as a good plot line. It's very clear that the intention is to wrap some (powerful) ideas into a plot to make it digestible, but it's just not that well executed.

But as I said, I made my peace with this love-hate relationship I have with the book. I just hope there will be more, better solarpunk art. Something I can actually recommend to friends without it feeling like homework.

I don't think there is any real solution for this, I suppose you must be pretty big to actually have it be noticeable enough to be a problem, either that or you have users that change emails a lot and forgot their addresses.

So what I would do is multiple things:

1. when signing up suggest you will send them monthly notices. Probably you won't be allowed to by a lot of users but at least you tried.

2. the monthly notice has an image with unique id in it, if that image gets requested you know they have looked at mail and then they still have that address. if not you know to flash them a message next time they come in - have you changed email recently? If they have they are logged in currently so can go change email.

User clicks forgot password

Please write email

We do not have a record of that email, have you lately changed email.

Yes I have.

We have a credit card on record with us, is the one we have on record still the one you use

yes

Pay 1 dollar (refundable or not depends on stuff) to unlock account. Make sure to use the credit card we have on record!

Check the credit card used is the same you have on record. See credit card validates. Obviously people can have stolen credit card, you know if your service or the people you serve would be likely to have this kind of thing happen to them.

What kind of stuff does one do in your service, is it unique enough that one can ask name an X that you did recently and the user would be able to describe well enough that you could then find it, when finding it then present 6 example cases one of which is the one they described others generated to resemble it, and then they have to say which one they actually did. Question is if this part is automatable, many services would not be able to automate this kind of thing.
Them looking older is probably just the gaunter look associated with endurance sports (low muscle mass, low body fat). It's especially noticeable in the face, where cheek & jaw bones will stand out. I happen to like the look; gives people's faces more character. Sun damage probably also contributes.
Cyberpunk offers realistic social lessons or warnings? That is news to me like the number of cyborg street thugs and automatic weapon proliferation. Jokes aside it is a Texas Sharpshooter fallacy and more something that one can look back on and find resemblances by comparision like say Star Trek and Tricorders vs cell phones and replicators vs 3d printing.

I don't think that is a difference on solarpunk's part though. One thing that became more and more explicit with cyberpunk was that the "independence from society" was fundamentally a lie the "fringer" told themself because they broke into offices and factories for money instead of working in them and obeyed laws only when the barrel of a gun was staring them down but fundamentally they were just as much as an interchangeable cog as everybody else. Getting over that delusion could be considered a painful step forward as they need either steps towards truer independence or move to try to change what they don't like about society. They don't have to be subservient proles by any means but well the first step to solving a problem is recognition.

Pain and suffering are also natural; that doesn't make them good. We should make peace with death, yes, but never accept it – never welcome it. It is the last enemy.
I did not mentioned not implied idealization. I said they are irrelevant to topic at hand.

Also, I think that you don't really know what Marx actually wrote. Nor do you know much about historical context surrounding Marx. Or Lenin and Stalin for that matter. Makes me think you likely dont have such a deep knowledge of Greeks either.

Aristotele is completely irrelevant to topic of domestic violence. So is topic of "what is knowledge".

"Mouthing ideas from Marx" is completely absurd mischaracterization of what I wrote. It is more of your manipulative attempt then an argument.
No, these are facts not subjective stuff.

I've had toxic clients. This was not a toxic client.

I knew exactly how much was in the business bank account. There were no secrets about the state of the business. I knew how it had arrived at the state it did as well, and its development and investment history.

The developer I was replacing had just died, before the product was ready. He was a good friend.

I could either take it on and try to make it work or not.

They weren't underpaying due to failure to value me. They were underpaying because we mutually agreed the project was worth it, and there was the pot of money that there was.

So I took on that risk on full knowledge as (replacement) employee #1. Yes, that's a business risk.

I grew up in a small down here in the USA. For a few years we had a retired accountant come in and teach (as one of our elective courses) business accounting, stocks, and personal finances. From what I understand he did it for a relatively reduced fee (paid as a substitute teacher). I took the course one year and it was successful for three years and was a pretty good foundation and has been very useful since. Some parents complained about it tirelessly as a waste of time and that students should be learning shop class and advanced math (that they most likely would never use). Eventually the guy got tired of fighting and quit teaching it and they never replaced him.

I wrote a game in that style, once: http://emilhernvall.github.io/bubblespinner/bubblespinner.ht... (repo at https://github.com/emilhernvall/bubblespinner)

It’s in Javascript, so not all of it is functionally pure, but the core game logic follows that pattern. The code is heavily commented, and hopefully somewhat readable. I think the main benefit I found was that it was trivial to snapshot states and replay as needed. That made debugging easier, and might have simplified something like a save/reload feature. Although I didn’t go there for this toy project, I’d argue that testability might be another consideration.

More generally, I’ve seen over the years that global state tends to be painful in unforseen ways. At one point, I was considering a fork of putty to add support for tabs. It has a lot of global state, so I had to abandon that idea. If the same state had been wrapped up in a state struct and passed around, it’d have been easy.

I'm a big fan of walking. Unless you are literally wheelchair bound, most people can walk.

Most of us don't do enough of it and it's one of the safest forms of exercise. We really should be designing our cities and built environments to be more walkable so more people get in 30 minutes of brisk walking daily just from running errands without really trying to exercise per se.

People would be healthier. Pollution levels would be lower. Studies show that walkable, mixed use neighborhoods foster higher sales for local businesses and are thus typically more prosperous. "Eyes on the street" is a known antidote to crime and you get that primarily by having a pedestrian-friendly built environment.

And I don't believe walking has any track record of fostering heart attacks.

FYI-- The Wacom's are highly customizable. Even for the right-mouse-click I prefer hold and tap on the stylus than the default hover-and-tap. I would also get rubber stylus add-ons to make the stylus itself thicker to hold more easily.

Some Wacom's come with a scroll wheel. Some double as touchpad, so it can quickly be used as a touchpad.

I was using the medium, non-pro Wacom's (Bamboo) and these were just as good as the pro versions. Also, it is a great entry point than jumping full-in to the higher-priced models.

The cat vs. dog data is common knowledge in the online dating community. I would speculate that dogs evoke masculine associations because early species of dogs bred from wolves were used for hunting and that association is forever in our primal brains. Going out further on a limb I would speculate that the men showing dogs are not displaying poodles or shih tzus but rather dogs that were traditionally trackers and hunters like shepherds and pit bulls.

One thing that the release of dating site data like [1] has shown that we are replaying evolutionary dynamics using high tech apps. Which is _not_ surprising as our species is the product of evolution. For anyone in the dating market, male or female, I high recommend The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating by David Buss. Lectures by Dr. Gad Saad and Dr. Diana S. Fleischman on youtube are also interesting and worth the effort. More than anything else it allowed me to understand my mating preferences and those of my potential mates which often go against stated preferences.

Sorry you're getting downvoted. He is a bit hyperbolic, but his steps are extremely easy to understand and can help curb bad habits that a lot of Americans have. He is also a likeable person I think and that means more people will listen to him than better (perhaps) advice coming from college professors who wrote a book on the same subject but who are less charismatic. A lot of HN people will downvote you for being a "shill" or "I know someone better" but you are on point and don't let the downvotes be taken personally. It's a failure on the downvoter rather than you when you are on topic and relating pertinent information.
Also depends on what entity is making that choice and to what extent free will exists.
as a fellow bald person (went bald early twenties), I think there is confusing messaging around baldness. For example, things that disguise baldness are "for insecure men". I am also told that judging people's physical appearance is immoral or even shaming.

On the other hand I suspect it has likewise made it very difficult to get dates. If I conclude that being bald lowers my odds am I insecure? Am I diminishing women's sense of being shamed by men by claiming I myself feel rejected?

The data, however, makes things more clear. I've never tried an experiment like that. Thanks for sharing.

>Secure boot is opaque to most

Secure boot is a technical term that the poster might not be familiar with, but given we are on HN it might be assumed they can figure it out. Still, not really plain English.

>that can be used to ensure that any virtue can be clean room redesigned by the monolith...

is not plain English, clean room is piece of jargon that again, being on HN the poster might be familiar with but also not. And frankly saying that virtues can be clean room redesigned comes a little too close to the poetic to be considered plain as well. In fact the more I look at that the less sure I am that I can interpret it without the use of some small amount of psychedelics.

on edit: formatted

on edit 2: also I suppose the original poster meant plebeians, as plebiscites are things the plebeians vote in, not impossible to interpret, but it would make it more difficult.
This is just memorization through brute repetition without the SRS optimization. Less efficient, and more time consuming.
I think this comment is under-rated. The US has been doing real work when it comes to China like this: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-southchinasea-philippines... where most of the world is just watching.

The US certainly doesn't have a stellar Human Rights record in wars or other; but it's mostly because of incompetence and not as an agenda to keep one race only.
The conclusion favours quantity over quality, which is a wrong conclusion in my opinion.

So if you're a cat person and you're looking for another cat person, the study's results should suggest keeping pictures with cats up.

It's interesting that you framed things through the concept of a narrative arc because that's exactly how I pictured it when I wrote my piece.
