>Otherwise I'm fine being part of a society that has some restrictions we impose on ourselves.

Unless 100% of people agree to the restrictions then you are imposing on others, not just yourself. Personally I think that we as a society impose on a lot of people for a lot of things and a lot of it is wrong.

I like the principal of imposing on others as little as possible, preferably not at all. Otherwise there's nothing to stop the more powerful majority from screwing over the less powerful minority at some point.

Some examples: Drug laws to imprison african-americans, zoning laws to keep the poor out, voting for taxes on others for charitable causes, blue laws, corporate monopolies, the environment and the tragedy of the commons, making it illegal for the homeless to sleep, algorithms and bureaucracy imposed on others, punishing non-conformity, etc.

I've always thought the principal of not imposing on others is a good idea. I thought it would make a great amendment to the constitution. With this principal to limit the tyranny of the majority, and the manipulated or fickle masses, we could still tackle all of societies problems, and filter out a lot of abuses along the way.

But lately I'm thinking that this just seems to be impractical. It seems that too many individuals, groups, corporations, and leaders want to impose on others. They are selfish and want the world to be as they say and they don't care so much about who has to pay or suffer for it.

I wish this got talked about more. I assume we all have in common that we don't want to be imposed upon by others.

What an ironic comment.
definitely exists in India to a large degree. I personally find it annoying that actual refusals don't carry much weight, because they are most often interpreted as rituals of politeness towards an eventual "yes". sometimes, I actually just want to say "no".
> otherwise it’s just a savior complex.

Or maybe just reaching out a helping hand to fellow human being that's apparently in need? If that leads to everybody involved being even slightly better off, why should that be considered some kind of negative complex?

On that front, human pride and societal norms can be very weird beasts: Way too many people who would really need the help of somebody else, often are either too proud or too scared to actually ask for that helping hand. Too hard-coded is the fear of appearing vulnerable/embarrassed, particularly in-front of strangers.

At least that's something I've noticed in Western societies, where begging (which is also a form of asking) is often considered some kind of scam and with demands to never support it by actually giving anything.
Installing Linux, Mate, Firefox, clearing cookies, learning tricks to use or get around biases, etc. I can make my computer more or less "mine". Mine in the ways that are worth it to me.

But your point is well taken in that the way the computer and the stream of data isn't owned by the average user has a serious impact on society. The way the Youtube algorithm pushes people towards extremism is the most extreme, obvious example.

People with the weakest filters seem like they're the victim of this stuff. But overall, the problem is the situation doesn't teach people to have filters.
If you were a spy agency with virtually unlimited resources, wouldn't you try to infiltrate it? Or even start one from scratch?
I am guessing that is straight-up LOGO on Python.
Also you could use the (first citizen) C++ API, which has (obviously) types.
Or use one of the community supported bindings for the gdnative API. I used Rust for a short experiment and it worked nicely.
If this chain is truly more efficient and/or durable, I would expect them to be selling to two specific markets:

- BMX: This market would be all over anything that would be an improvement in durability, and frankly a percentage would just do it for the different tooth design.

- Auto: Admittedly, the site for the company that is making this new chain mentions automotive in a blog post, but I don't see anything specific to an automotive product. A more durable and efficient timing chain is something I'd expect most of the automakers to care about.
> The almost-religious and in fact religious belief in meritocracy is what made the US wealthy

I thought it was the abundant resources, rule of law, respect for property rights, free slave labor (for the first ~200 years, including before independence), and wave upon wave of immigrants who through self-selection were highly motivated and risk-taking. The post-WW2 prosperity was largely due to a lack of competition from other developed nations.
Just want to echo all this praise for Godot. I developed games in JS for a while, then switched to Unity for platform/performance reasons. I really did not get on with Unity and struggled through the tutorials (I was so frustrated I wrote a tutorial about JS game dev in response [1]). Unity felt bloated, slow, making simple things unintuitive, and with a mess of an API.

Godot on the other hand is straightforward, fast, and lightweight in a way I didn't think was possible. Like I'm absolutely floored the executable is ~50MB and the low memory usage made me question intially if I had even launched it properly. Regardless of the pros/cons, I'm just enjoying gamedev again.

Coming from JS, the optional type system doesn't bother me none. My only annoyances are a few missing language features like increment operators or type coercion (even in Java I don't need to cast a number to a string to print it).

This might be my favorite suggestion!
Sure, it's as real as those other examples, i.e. not particularly except insofar as it affects peoples' expectations.

I don't think "exact info of conditions" is objective or coherent. This pre-supposes there's an external universe with exact conditions that produces our experiences, but there's no way to distinguish this possiblity from other possibilities (like a multiverse, for instance.) This lack of ability to distinguish, in my ontology, makes the distinction meaningless. Yours may differ.

Sure, but wouldn't it be nice if you could comprehend the law without having a human (which is also really expensive to hire)? Even filing a fairly simple tax return is still a mindfield in some developed countries.
The guy is posting on (or owns) celticnz.co.nz - proponents of a somewhat racist theory that the Maori weren't the original inhabitants of New Zealand, but rather it was previously settled by Celts a thousand years earlier.

The evidence for this consists mostly of some rocks piled up to make some fences - technology the Maori couldn't hope to replicate until the white man came along and showed them how.

This apparently means, amongst other things, that the Treaty of Waitangi (founding document for NZ) is null and void as the Maori are not the original/actual Tangata whenua.
That's why we have regulations and regulatory agencies. You'll need to trust them to their job (just pegging the trust one more level up).
As a mountain biker primarily, chasing marginal gains on chain improvements seems strange to me.

Chains are a wear item, and small gains in the efficiency are going to be lost pretty quickly after the first few times it’s been ground through mud, sand and grit, which will take all of one ride.
> then your business is clearly not creating enough value and shouldn't exist.

how do you factor jobloss and destruction of your community into this 'value'?
Thanks, I didn't know that. It was meant more illustratively than as an accurate time indication, but nevertheless it's good to be correct and now I know.
I wonder if you incentivize this type of behavior by allowing use of standard sized jars (such as mason jars) for free. But then require a small (per-jar) fee to manufacturers that want to use a custom jar. Standardization is good because it promotes re-use, for example I can buy many different types of lids for my mason jars, but not so for some random jam jar, so if the jam jar lid breaks it is effectively unusable.

On the contrary, your reaction is some kneejerk response influenced by a perception of overuse of the word in modern politics. Mishima is unapologetically a fascist; much of the Japanese right was, some still even is.

> A Japanese guy who killed himself in 1970 is a fascist?

A Japanese guy who took over a government building to agitate for a sublimation of individuality and a return to an imperial ethnostate?

Only through the group, I realised — through sharing the suffering of the group — could the body reach that height of existence that the individual alone could never attain. And for the body to reach that level at which the divine might be glimpsed, a dissolution of individuality was necessary. The tragic quality of the group was also necessary, the quality that constantly raised the group out of the abandon and torpor into which it was prone to lapse, leading it to an ever-mounting shared suffering and so to death, which was the ultimate suffering. The group must be open to death — which meant, of course, that it must be a community of warriors.

So JavaScript is not benchmarked, fast ref counting does not improve native application benchmark results, and the memory model trick does nothing to improve benchmark results of x86 applications?

Yeah, you can of course say that each of these is a "specific use case". But which
use cases other than running native MacOS apps built on Apple's frameworks, x86 MacOS apps and web applications do you have in mind? I see those covering a lot of what people tend to do with their MacBooks.
I mean the US doesn't even have socialized healthcare. There's no way you're going to get tax paying americans to hop on the socialize education bandwagon when the assumption is the average college student that holds debt got a degree in acrobatic water polo...

The one message that did stand out to me and we kind of have it already was this: "That system should be reformed going forward, with a shift toward income-based repayment." While we do have that, I think having a standard percentage having to be paid as opposed to case-by-case scenarios of individuals dealing with it themselves.

The funniest thing to me is how the average student handles debt. From my knowledge working at a bank and seeing non-working students, they couldn't budget a single checking account. A lot of them have this misinterpretation of finances as though "that is money I can use freely whenever." Not only do none of these kids know personal finance, they don't even know basic accounting principles. Most traditional students are either A: affluent and risk averse meaning they don't incur debt; B: affluent but also take out loans because "why not"; or C: low income and treat debt as a means to get free money. I have rarely ever if at all met a student who has a budget, does double entry accounting for their finances, and properly manages debt.

I just feel like the government in this scenario, both sides, would never just pay off the debt of all student loans. It's just not profitable and the economy's student loan bubble hasn't burst yet, which will be the only way they would do something. Honestly the only way for banks to truly take a total loss is if the person with the loan dies before it's paid seeing as you can't dissolve it by declaring bankruptcy.

However we shouldn't be looking entirely at students for this. Colleges are the most liable here. No other institution in the United States can act with such free autonomy while siphoning tax payers income. Also they can just jack up prices that in the private sector would be considered price gouging. The cost of doing business in education has certainly not increased. Another thing colleges do is they routinely play pretend and lie to you that the "job placement rate" for a program has anything to do with the field they're in or that it was the degree that got them the job. It really takes a keen and jaded individual to see through these just blatant lies! College institutions are extraordinarily predatory.

Love it! I started out by manipulating simple games in qbasic. Then switched to Visual Basic and made my first serious yet small projects. In the meantime got into web design and always thought I was doing something wrong when creating a UI with HTML & co - so painful compared to the drag and drop UI creation in Visual Studio. Same when I've learned Java: UI creation was a nightmare.
Sorry for going off rails...QBasic was just awesome!

I have nothing I can possibly add to your excellent comment, but I just wanted to say your attitude is a refreshing viewpoint in contrast to all the doom and gloom you read about in newsrooms around the world (I'm sure it sells a ton of copies though! That's good for the economy, right?)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
I don't know anything about FEA, but in reading this article and thinking it through, was the first time it hit me how bad a conventional chain and sprocket is. On a brand-new set with perfect tolerances, you might be able to use many of the front side of many of the teeth, but as SOON as the chain begins to stretch (wear) even fractionally, most of the stress goes to the 'first' teeth in any given power stroke, and the same spot on the chain. I imagine if you're putting, say, 1000w through 2 teeth and 2-4 chain endplates, wear is an order of magnitude higher than if you're able to effectively transfer power through double the teeth and endplates.

Likely the "pins rubbing" you mention doesn't really matter, because the wear from inserting and removing the chain as it cycles around has to be a miniscule fraction of the wear that occurs under load.
I have a low tolerance for being fucked with, and a long memory.

Why did you choose a famously persecuted gay man as the example of a man who might wed another man purely for tax avoidance?
Good questions. I think the key difference will be in the topic/market focus. The creator/artist market (e.g., Patreon) is different enough from the researcher market that I don't think people browsing Patreon (on average) would be interested in backing graph neural network research, for example. From there, it will be about tailoring the platform to researchers' (and their backers') needs which could include a bunch of things like facilitating connections between other researchers and "advisors", (hopefully) being able to provide cloud/GPU discounts, having different standard rewards (e.g., a backer's name listed on a paper), etc.

If there is enough interest, I'd definitely want to expand to other areas, but AI/ML seemed like a good place to start since it's where I'm most familiar and there's not much overhead in terms of needing lab space, etc.

You don’t always have to take a wheel off to fix a flat with a patch and completely tubeless setups are fairly commonplace now.
Oh god. I have a Ghost commuter bike with belt drive (came with Continental, but it broke and couldn't be replaced, so it was swapped to gates). Not only is a it a huge pain in the ass to carry two identical heavy wrenches in case you have to remove the wheel+belt in the field, and tension is hard to get right even at home, but of course the cable is extremely hard to remove the first handful of times (and which gear you have to be in changes from hub to hub), ... but my Ghost had a disc brake caliper located such that the caliper had to be removed in order to remove the rear wheel (the disc cannot just side out of the caliper, it hits the caliper body itself). Ugh.
> Taarof has always been a short back and forth to be gotten over with.

This is how it appears when you haven't had a chance to study it in depth, but the dark magic of taarof is that it impacts every part of life. No fault of yours; it's so deeply infected our culture as to be practically invisible to anyone who's a part of it.

That's also why I mention the patently ridiculous level of backbiting and backstabbing that takes place in our culture - when people who taarof find themselves having to go through with a false offer, especially one that puts one in a substantially disadvantaged position (the "losing" end of the social transaction), the person on the receiving end often ends up subject to undue scorn down the road, or worse.

It's pretty universal. I've seen it in Tehran, Esfahan, Shiraz, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver, Great Neck NY, and DC, and every time I've seen both the taarof social transaction as well as borne witness to the resulting backbiting days later. I can count examples on many more hands than I physically have, and while these are all anecdotes, I've got a high level of confidence based on just the sheer volume of interactions I've witnessed that this is one of the single worst aspects of our culture.

I apologize if my passion on the topic is coming off a bit too strong. I've seen livelihoods ruined because of it.
Definitely, new technologies always had this issue though. Regulatory agencies move at a snails pace to adopt new changes - for good or for worse - that's up for debate. Good because new tech doesn't exploit consumers. Bad because haphazardly put together regulations can harm busineses and progress in general.

If you're worried about state agencies intercepting your communications, you're going to have to give up certain conveniences, like web based email and consumer VPN.

The services you mentioned should have superficial security that's at least on par with dominant providers, and will hopefully keep your information from being intercepted for the sake of advertising. I think that's still worth something.

Would you agree or disagree with the statement that "accusing cops of intentional cold-blooded racist-motivated murder on the basis of his and his victim's skin color, without presumption of innocence, sourced from emotion, and with mob justice, is a major problem in American society"?

See how you can disagree or agree with my question, while your goal-post moving question can only be agreed to if you are a reasonable person? Just because racist-motivated murderers exist and are problematic, does not mean Floyd was murdered with racist motives.

You demand I defend the cop's actions, just for my interpretation of the case does not align with your interpretation. You call me a racist and a liar. You can't even direct quote me, so you put words in my mouth, and then call me disingenuous (I never said "died from an OD"). You are debating from very bad faith, and debating poorly at that.
