It's a dynamic system though. Sure, I spend less on transport - but on the other hand, the transport system sees less wear and tear (just an example).

I spend less on restaurant foods, but I spend more on groceries. So while one part is losing, another is gaining.

Obviously these are not - or even anywhere near - a 1:1 ratio. The money I save on fuel, is not spent 100% on something else. But it's not like everything I save from WFH goes directly to my savings account - there are things I spend more money on now.

The largest saving, IMO, comes from the commute itself. The time saved is fabulous - and really makes you think how much time is wasted on commuting. 2 x 15 mins a day for roughly 240 days, that's 120 hours...or 3 full 40-hour weeks! And 15 mins is pretty damn nice to begin with, imagine those that have to commute 1-2 hours every day.

Presently no, but I faced depression for almost six years.

I faced continuous failures in college between 2010 -2013. Dropped from one degree, tried another but didn't go well either.

Then with broken skills in coding, set out to build a startup with strangers (now close friends).

That was for three years and didn't work out either. There were times I didn't have money for food.

Couldn't go back home, as an introvert didn't feel like sharing even to people I was close to.

Situations changed in 2018, articles sharing my learnings hit an audience of 50-100K.

Got contract for a book, Linked-In was filled with job offers. Later, I got into a great startup.

Befriend uncertainty, I survived six years of depression, you can make through one. Stay Hopeful!

That's the point of "free speech" - I don't care how far right / left / in outer space your ideas are. You can say them, and I won't absorb the message if I don't care. It's the old saying about TV - if you don't like what's on, just change the channel.
My mentor was a humble man from the Turkish countryside. He held dual masters in EE and CompEng. He knew vi because what else would he possibly know? It's what he learned in university. And, so, he taught me what he knew. I've mentored about 2 dozen people and I've taught them all vi(m). As far as I know, though, it's only stuck with 2 or 3 of them. C'est la vie.

For me that begs the question as to why this mechanism exists in the first place, though. Maybe apple will patch this vulnerability but people will find a way to exploit it again.

I'm sure there are advantages to system processes avoiding the firewall (inept admins unable to block updates for example) but does that outweigh the downsides?
You may find the "Make No Law" first amendment podcast interesting. It's created by Popehat (Ken White), a well known first amendment lawyer. In his podcast he talks about the history of "fire in a crowded theatre", along with many other first amendment topics. It provides a really interesting view into how the courts have applied the first amendment over the years.

As a Jew, I am sure you know at least some American Jews who put Israeli interests above or at least parallel with American interests, don't you? I'm a first generation immigrant who barely speaks their 'mother' tongue, but I still have a greater affinity for my parent's birth nation than I do for the USA. If I were a billionaire or otherwise influential, I would 100% use that power to further the interests of my mother country, even at the expense of the USA. Jews are just better educated and better organized so they accomplish what I and many other ethnic/religious minorities would undoubtedly attempt in their position. I do not think it is antisemitic to point this out. I would argue its more hypocritical rather than racist of other minorities in the USA to criticize of American Jews over this issue. As for the "native" American Whites, I cannot comment.

I wonder with schools producing CS graduates at such high rates, how people want to distinguish themselves and find jobs?

Is there really that much to learn? Open file, save file, exit, block select, copy paste, search and replace - thats about 99% of what you do in an editor. 15 minutes to pick up, ipossible to unlearn. Unless you have some other editor ingrained in your synapses. Switching between editors with different shortcuts is a torture.

> The moral of the story is: if you’re against witch-hunts, and you promise to found your own little utopian community where witch-hunts will never happen, your new society will end up consisting of approximately three principled civil libertarians and seven zillion witches. It will be a terrible place to live even if witch-hunts are genuinely wrong.

I do wonder what the mainstream's response will be when this website inevitably actualises its witch-coven destiny (though it may already have according to some). Based on the apparent billionaire backing, it may not depend on payment processors (which otherwise seem to be among the most willing pieces of infrastructure to summarily cut off "extremist" customers), but it will probably still require Cloudflare to weather DoS attacks, a DNS record and carriers willing to provide it connectivity.

I used to listen to lots of metal (In Flames, Iced Earth, Dimmu Borgir, also things like Hypocrisy, Pain (Peter Tägtgren) or Paradise Lost, plus good old stuff like Maiden) and sadly it felt like it had quite an effect on my mood. It matched my mood, sure but it wasn't helpful. For years.

Now - don't laugh! - I am listening to 80s synthwave compilations on Youtube all day long. 80s synthwave! - I can't think of any other music genre that sounds more lighthearted and unworried and it really helps to brighten my mood. The effect is enormous.

Other things I currently do to keep my sanity is lots of walking. The effect of physical excercise on me is pretty great but I really need to get the heart pumping and to sweat. This is as easy as putting on too many layers of cloths for the temperature/activity and a few inclines/hills also helps. Being out in the sun (if the schedule makes it possible) and at the fresh air also improves my mood. Walking through a forest also soothes my mind. Also: walking faster than I normally would helps because I need to concentrate to walk faster than I normally would - which means I can't think of anything else i.e. it is actually keeping my mind free of other (sometimes negative) thoughts.

Neither of this actually solves your problems of course but it might help to cope with some of their effects and put you mentally in a spot where you can better reason about solutions.

Let me know if there is anything you want to talk about and all the best!

Privately owned companies are not accountable to their users, they are accountable to their owners, just like publically traded ones. It's just that they have fewer owners, and you sometimes get owners with really nice ideas. Other times, you get even more tyrannical owners.

Instead, what would be really nice is imagining how those companies would fare as worker-owned companies. Especially with these big internet behemoths, where the entire families of all the workers are users, the standard of user care would easily sky-rocket.

Have you explored opportunities to apply data science to agriculture?

I'm interested in this space; I do some work with agricultural data acquisition hardware and software (e.g., soil moisture, environmental conditions, sap flow, plant/fruit growth monitoring), irrigation, fertiliser application) and I'm interested in ways this data could be used in predictive models, but I'm not at the stage of being able to focus on that aspect yet (still getting the core data logging/display tech working well, though we’re nearly there).

Feel free to get in touch (email in profile) if you'd like to connect and discuss.

To address your question, I think the world is still mostly at a very basic stage in its use of data analysis and statistics. Most of the talented people are employed on big salaries by a relatively small number large companies with huge budgets for specific applications (e.g., ad targeting, risk assessment, algorithmic trading).

But outside of that, not much is happening, so I think there are big opportunities to apply data science in new fields and make the benefits more widely distributed.

Thats tough. My usual strategy to cope with situations like this is to sign up as a part-time waiter. Its quite physical job, which is good, cause physical work is satisfying in itself, and you have a lot of positive social interactions. This usually distracts me enough and offers enough socialization to be emotionally stable. Maybe this helps. Good luck!
This is a pretty interesting list and I'm curious about some of the reasons for the differences.

How was housing handled in the former USSR states? Were people residing in houses given an opportunity to purchase? Or just given title?

I know in Singapore, most of the housing is developed by the gov't (HDB) with assistance provided for home ownership. Outside of that system, housing is ridiculously expensive. New 1 bedrooms go for over $1M SGD, which is pricier than San Francisco.

The one oddity with Singapore housing is most of it is built on land owned by the gov't and a 99-year lease. Since Singapore only became it's own country in 1963, some of those 99-year leases are getting to the point of having less than owner's lifetime left. From what I've read, the gov't either allows the owner to purchase additional lease duration or the property is acquired by a developer looking to remove the old building and build a new one, with a new 99-year lease.
> So what? People should be free to discuss stupid and wrong ideas.

And they are, but if they want to do it on Twitter, Twitter gets to have its say as well. However, the conspiracy theorists don't seem to like it when Twitter exercises its rights by labeling their tweets, like in this case.

As for why this matters, people who want to live in functioning democracies have a strong interest in making sure the truth prevails in public discourse, and that lies find the habitat difficult.
Most of the papers themselves are structured as a series of "hypothetical" objections, each followed by a retort. The reason why I put that in quotes is that many of them weren't hypothetical to the intended audience.

Sometimes it gets really funny, like in #54 (about the 3/5 Compromise), where the author clearly doesn't like the idea on its own all that much, and would prefer to not be seen as an ardent supporter of it - and thus, the retort itself is also written from a third person perspective: "... might one of our Southern brethren observe ... " etc.
Wouldn't you rather they give money to Apple, so there's an alternative OS to pure UNIX/Linux conformance (with Mach, file hierarchy changes, and tons of added stuff), Swift, and so on? That puts some actual pressure to those Linux OEMs and distros...

With sponsoring Linux OEMs instead we'd still have more of the same beige boxes, no new major architecture like ARM on the desktop, a Windows-2005 state of desktop environments (Linux DEs and Windows have both not just copied but dragged behind OSX/macOS changes ever since Aqua, like adding compositors, expose view, and so on, instead of coming up with their own ideas, GNOME/KDE advertise and redo on every new release stuff that was already in Windows in 2002), and so on.

Why Startups Are Cults
Thanks for pointing this out. It can be society as a whole, or simply the situation we end up in, individually. Or even both, in which case it would rather be surprising and in a way symtomtic of mental illness to NOT suffer from depression.

One thing interesting about society and its effect on individuals mental state, is it the absolute rating of a society's sanity (however we could rate that) or rather the delta between present and past, along with the perceived prospect of its future delta? You are perhaps touching on this as you are writing going "down" the hill. We might still be at the top of the Mountain, but that's hardly relevant.

I am now playing videogames for 8hours on Friday and Saturday. And this week I am back to browsing cybersex type chats which were out of the picture for 5 years and I thought I kicked the habit. I am not even stimulated by them.

I hope I will deeply understand how useless all this hiding is and get back to social life.

I am 37 and no kids, no girlfriend just a semi-failing startup. If not for the parents I think I’d be seriously considering the S-word, but I just can’t to this to them.

I think the problem is that I just don’t really care about myself - I eat only because I am clinging on to gym performance and knowing something is doing damage to my body or my personality doesn’t really matter. We are all just dust. I sometimes envy people who actually put their ego first and care about themselves so much.

Hell I quit smoking only because I wanted to win this girl, the most beautiful one, the queen. And it was a cool challenge to stop smoking so she never knows I did. And now she’s gone and it was a doomed relationship anyways

You're being gaslit about that too, although yes, some motions were denied and some lawsuits were rejected outright. Watch the last link in my original post. It explains the propaganda barrage perfectly.

There are a bunch of deadlines and appellate levels baked into this process for a reason. If Al Gore could hold things up for over a month over a few hundred votes, all the concerns about following lawful process are null and void. Same with histrionics about "overturning democracy".

The choice is pretty simple even to Trump voters: either Trump finds the smoking gun and deservedly gets a second term, or he's full of shit and he doesn't deserve a second term. Nobody on the right will set cities on fire either way.
I'm reminded I'm depressed every time I take my anti-depressants. I know that I can't survive without them, having tried to come off them a few times, and going to a very dark place each time.

The hardest step when living with depression is doing something about it.

I wasted a decade of my life ignoring the signs. Don't be like me. If you think you are depressed, or even if you feel the world is just too hard to live in, go seek help. Your friends and family will thank you.

The first page of the US search results: vaccines.gov, chop.edu, cdc.gov, livescience.com, scientificamerican.com, nytimes.com, newsweek.com, healthline.com, who.int, mayoclinic.org. That's a good mix of the official outlets and some popular explanations. Results change of you specify a different region or no region at all.

I’ve been feeling the physical symptoms I associate with depression, but not the changes to cognition. I feel like I’m wearing an iron mask, if that makes any sense. Really heavy head with what feels like a layer of numbness between me and my surroundings. I have an appointment to talk about it with a doctor next week since I don’t want to spiral into something worse.

It’s odd to me that I’m not having the cognitive changes I associate with depression, like inability to focus or an overwhelming sense of dread. I’m surprised that things haven’t spiraled cognitively after 7 months of WFH and social distancing. I’m grateful to have a super energetic dog that needs walking twice a day, at least.

I usually use throw aways when talking about this kind of thing, but am trying to get better at doing my part to raise awareness of mental health issues in this field.
