Completely agree about BMI ranges potentially being too wide.

I just checked Fitbit and was surprised to see I’m now in the “ideal” range. I have man boobs and a muffin top. While I’m rarely the fattest person around anymore, I’m very clearly still overweight.

It’s rare enough to see men that aren’t visibly overweight that it feels like a real exception when I do.

I suspect there are _lots_ of fat men with an “ideal” BMI 18.5-24.9.

I recall thinking of the Unabomber manifesto when I first started seeing the alt-right emerge in a big way in the early 20-teens. The alt-right and adjacent movements sort of do belong under the umbrella of neo-primitivism. There are a lot of ideological parallels and deep similarities in the emotional appeals.

It takes me back to when I read the Unabomber manifesto online as a teenager when it was first printed. I largely rejected it, but there was this part of me that resonated with the emotional appeal to a simple world with simple ideals and a connection to nature. I knew enough to realize that this was a fantasy, but it's an appealing fantasy that also finds expression in the popularity of comic books, pseudo-medieval fantasy epics, and other forms of escapist fiction.

I think what it boils down to is that we are not neurologically wired for abundance, huge scale societies, or the types of labor that pay the best in the modern world. We're not built to sit in front of screens and solve puzzles all day, and without something to struggle against parts of our emotional nature seem to go haywire. I've speculated that the immense paranoia and prevalence of all kinds of neuroses might be an emotional analogue to the hygiene hypothesis for allergies. Without real traumas and existential struggles, our emotional system starts attaching the coping mechanisms that exists for these things to other more mundane aspects of existence like politics and relationships.
Pesticides in our food are likely one of the reason as to why we see a "pandemic-like" increase in Alzheimer's disease among our old [1]. It is not too far-fetched to think this could affect our young in various ways as well.

You're sort of right, but I don't think I'd any less terrified to have a surprise 1,000,000 dollars arrive in a parcel in my mailbox, than to have the same surprise in my bitcoin account.

That said, I'm not in the position where I have much to fear from the police/government. If I did, that would be different.
I've also seen articles saying there's a similar declining level of physical strength among men (measured by grip strength). I wonder if sitting at home all day playing video games instead of being outside running around reduces T levels.
Okay, then "s/sky is blue/water is wet/g" or "s/sky is blue/fire is hot/g"

Edit: I can't just let this lie. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not true. The sky at night is still blue, there's just not enough light for human eyes to see it. I have plenty of footage from night skies where the sky is still clearly blue. This footage [0] is clearly taken at night while the moon is below horizon then the sky becomes blue again (still at night) when the moon rises. The light reflections in the water as well as still being able to see the stars in a blue sky shows the sky is still blue even at night.

I agree with you and we're not trying to infer new things about people that aren't directly in the resume.

Our approach is to take a more (unfortunately?) practical approach to this -- most recruiters and hiring managers simply scan most resumes for keywords, and most applicant tracking systems do the same... So it's not about predicting something from the resume, so much as making the matching process more flexible, given that most people doing the initial screening aren't doing a good job.

In other words: make a very imperfect process slightly less bad today, so good candidates don't get missed.

And of course, you still need to do the full set of interviews afterwards! We're not saying this is any sort of silver bullet.
I'm one of the maintainers of the cloud images and I can confirm that our goal is to release at least GCP and Azure images in addition to the AWS ones for the 3.14 release cycle. We're also looking for suggestions on other cloud providers for which people would like to see official Alpine images built.

By trader, I mean domain knowledge about the markets. Statistics is the toolbox that this domain expert uses to test their hypotheses and turn them into a profitable model. But if the person isn't a domain expert and only knows statistics, their ideas about what to test won't be good.
Really though, how long do we expect that arrangement to last? The Facebook WhatsApp thing makes it pretty clear to me that they can afford to walk back on that arrangement as soon as they feel they can afford to take the PR hit. For something with as small of a market share as Fitbit, I suspect that won't take very long at all.
In what world is Twitter a monopoly?

Its market cap is $36B. That's 2X less than Snap and 20X less than Facebook.
The sustainable part comes from the fact that their revenue is $1B more than their expense every year. Some hypothetical about sad conservatives hurting their engagement doesn't negate the fact that it's a massive profitable business.

I agree we probably won't get anywhere constructive and your decision is respectable. However, I disagree that you are being interpreted negatively. You are being negative - it's not an interpretation, it is just the unquestionable property of your communication and the substance of your comments, especially insulting towards users of FOSS projects. There's no matter of interpretation, it just is negative.

Likewise, I don't believe I am speaking negatively or uncharitably at all. I think I have responded in good faith and with due self-reflection and that my comments are fair reflections of what you are communicating. Looking back, I don't see anything I'd change or any place where I wasn't engaging with polite, good faith responses to your negative comments.
I’m glad that you were able to extricate enough material in order for you to exalt this type of medium. :) Their lack of understanding and unfounded purpoting has been betrayed.

> in some of the really deadly dungeons, just a bad roll of dice on a failed trap will kill you

The all-time classic of this genre was the Tomb of Horrors. As a player, you basically have to be ultra paranoid about every single action you take. And even playing in that mode, you're likely to lose a significant portion of the party. And yes, you definitely want all of the players to buy in to that style of play up front before trying to run an adventure like that.
In my home country you can rent actual apartments in completely normal buildings by the hour or by the night. Everyone knows for what purpose.

They're actually cheaper and nicer than hotels, so if you're not icky, it's a cheap way to stay in the country ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What always annoys me with most people out there is that they want to take money from the super wealthy. As if Musk and Bezos and Gates are sitting on stockpiles of Dollars. Their income isn't billions of Dollars a year, that's simply–mostly–the increase in value of their assets.

In the olden days they taxed millionaires crazy percentages of income tax. But that was before the digital era. Right now, money is digital and there isn't a gold standard. If you say: "Bezos, we tax you 80% of your income!" you'd see him simply not making any money at all and even collecting food stamps if he wanted to.

So the next step would be taxing someone's net worth, which would force Bezos to sell his stocks.

And guess who will be buying those stocks.

Other money printing governments in the form of their wealthy but sponsored businessmen, mostly from China. Then in a few years Amazon is Chinese-owned.

But yeah, Bill and Belinda Gates are at least doing it right. Their foundation is doing so much good for the world and their legacy will be immense for centuries to come.

Same for Musk, who single-handedly kickstarted (I'm not saying he did it all himself, I know he didn't) the world to accept electric cars and made rocket boosters that could land again.

Bezos, on the other hand? Honestly, more power to him doing what he does. He's playing the game by its own rules. And he's winning. But damn, he isn't doing much good with all those resources, does he? Even Amazon Prime isn't that good...
Oh they’re still around making movies and hosting talk radio stations.

A lot of these are just "garden variety" (distributed) systems problems. Dealing with systems with differing latency distributions, recovering from failure, acceptable tradeoffs between speed and accuracy, etc
> Such a fucked up thing that that's legal in some parts of the world.

It's legal basically anywhere in the United States, as most states follow at-will employment laws. Is it even surprising that young people (20s-30s) job hop every 2-3 years?
Sure, I agree with that. There is plenty of cooperation in the world, when two strong parties come together and say "this will work out better for us if we do it together."

My main point and I think you agree, is that you can never get there from a position of weakness and laze. No one is going to throw in their lot cooperating with you if your ethos is to "do nothing" or if you aren't functioning as an adult (whether an adult individual or an adult nation/country.)
As a native French speaker, what most strikes me in this recording is actually the contrast between:

- the language level, which is very much higher than what you would get recording anyone on the street today, with fairly rich grammatical forms, and few of the now common shortcuts or mistakes - in a way, a more beautiful and educated French than you can find in most of today's France, the kind you'd find only in older traditional upper class families

- the accent itself, which has kind of a lower-social-status conotation;

- the guy pronouncing everything, who is neither in the highs nor in the lows of society, but a middle class small busines owner who presumably did not receive higher (nor probably even high school) education

Were I not an optimist, I'd say this unfortunately is a sad illustration of what has become of education and language in our country, and more generally the acceptance by our society of everything and anything under the pretext that everyone deserves a chance even when they don't match the level previously judged as the acceptable minimum.
I said many STEM fields don't necessarily pay better, not STEM in general. Obviously engineering/software/quant stuff pays off as long as you are motivated (a suprisingly large hurdle) I was thinking of various sciences like biology, pure maths, where it's heavily dependent on your location and other factors.
It sounds to me like they are attempting to sound like a spaceship.
Ah, interesting. So are these PV workers in crazy high demand then? I feel like I haven't heard about the kind of wild growth in the PV industry that one would expect from such a significant endeavor?
The above user is only talking about their personal desires and opinions about Google. They don't speak on behalf of anyone else and don't pass judgement if G is 'good' or 'bad' for society as a whole.

You are claiming that their thoughts are only the result of abusive conditioning.

IMO, that's an extremely arrogant position - "oh, if you disagree with me, it must be because you are not smart enough to actually think for yourself"
I haven't had success with using Invidious. I'd love to ditch the YT frontend and tracking though.

I have extensions that remove suggested videos on the sidebar, homepage, and during the video; as well as ads, comments, and product recommendations. I use YT in a Firefox container without an account that is separate from my other Google container.
Yup, I should have read the article -- thanks

Meta-comment: that is nice of you to check the OP’s submission history. It does add context and the response, while valid was maybe a little harsh in light of the poster’s newness. It might be nice if there were an easy way to tell if a poster is new (or a throwaway) for such context.
I read this honestly expecting a /s at the end.

If you told me this was a failed attempt at obvious sarcasm now, I'd totally still believe you.
You're just playing word games. Apple gave user information to the US government in return for money. That's selling.

Nitpicking about whether they made a profit has no bearing on the statement “Apple selling user data to US government”.
Was just thinking about this the other day. Not only does the incoming CEO have big leadership shoes to fill, the incoming CEO has to deal with the previous founder CEO unloading shares every quarter which essentially appears to the general market as a vote of no confidence. In Ballmer's case he also had to contend with the dotcom bubble bursting.

> Particularly if you have a strategist who thinks his job is just to dream up profitable models, he ends up carving that role out in a way that's detrimental to the rest of the team.

My god, this. These people make me bonkers. Especially because I feel like I have a bit of this tendency myself, the desire just to think big thoughts and do no actual work. Happily, I long ago learned that ideas were approximately worthless without labor, and that I anyway had much better ideas when laboring because it forced me to engage with the details.

And yes, those people can poison a team. My best working experiences have all been with people who a) all valued actual work and b) believed that everybody could have good ideas.

He can't buy a yacht with his Foundation money, but he already has a yacht.

Think of it this way: Gates has a certain list of things he wants to spend money on. The government likes some of those things and forgoes taxes on them.

That doesn't change the fact that Gates is spending his money on exactly what he wants to. The restrictions are essentially irrelevant to him.
Frustrating as it may be if you're affected, I don't really see the problem here? It isn't reasonable to expect updates past EOL, that's kinda the idea. At some point the manufacturer has to decide to stop pouring resources into old products.
Musk or Bezos can use their wealth as collateral against other a huge line of credit. At their level of resources, you are more likely to take on a lot of debt to delay realizing gains, they do not need to sell their shares to have other things
Thank you. That's very useful to know.

Exactly, this is a great example of a failed policy.

Lets apply the simple rule: the less moving pieces a system has, the less it's likely to fail.

So, instead of getting 100 people to wear a mask in one business, get 1 business to increase the airflow in the business by 10x. Much simpler solution and something that can be directly measured. And really, they're non-competing; we can do both. Furthermore it eliminates the perceived need for draconian measure that are fueling other social problems.
The twitter account @SkyCirclesLA keeps track of these sorts of instances. Definitely worth a follow
Pretty sure if he made it to the steps, he would have crossed through a police barricade. That means he was protesting on restricted grounds w/o lawful authority and plenty of others have been arrested for that same violation. Not sure why he wouldn't be liable for the same.
I present to you the words of Kristen Clarke, Biden’s future head of the DoJ’s Civil Rights division:

“Melanin endows blacks with greater mental, physical, and spiritual abilities — something which cannot be measured by Eurocentric standards.”

This is just one quote from her letter, which goes on at length about black superiority.

I think the problem we have right now is we have two sets of standards. People that have been reintroducing racist concepts into government, academia and the media shouldn’t be surprised when there is a similarly racist backlash.

Alpine works quite well as a desktop OS.

Using pre-built proprietary applications is the only thing that requires a little trickery.

I imagine vscode could be built and packaged just fine if someone wanted to.
To be a bit facetious, that's like saying that I still possess all of the money I spent on groceries because I chose to spend it that way... at some point it's not my money anymore. I agree that Bill Gates still exerts some control over the money, but if he can't actually do anything he wants with it, then it's not wealth the same way cash, or even stock is.
Yes. I ask because relative reduction in wages would decrease access to foods with a high density of unprocessed and non-fortified nutrients, regardless of the quality of the non-edible materials in their life. When combined with the tendency of US food to decrease in total non-fortified nutrient value over time, it could influencing the human body's hormone production.
Nice, I've been waiting for the next round to open up. Application #3 (for this startup), here I come.

That said, I'm seriously considering just not bothering with the fluff questions this time around (ie, "describe a time you hacked something to your advantage"). I know what they're going for (they want to see if someone can be clever without being unethical), but I always feel I feel like I put too much effort into appearing clever and it doesn't really matter. I'd much rather be talking about and building my company anyhow.
> Trump leaving Twitter (or rather, having the microphone yanked out of his tiny hands) is going to impact the engagement that the platform facilitates. It remains to be seen what that impact will be, but I don't see how it can be positive.

A bunch of right-wing trolls leaving for greener grass increases the civility on the platform and thus the attractiveness for everyday people, plus it leads to political good-will in a large part of the population, and especially a more friendly environment for brands to advertise in... few brands want to appear next to Qanon posts, a problem that Youtube and Facebook both have publicly faced in the last years.

I haven't claimed that all content published by MSM is fake news or even the majority.

A war was initiated under false pretenses, published by these organizations. Everyone knew it was fake and a charade and they published it anyway.

This is a question of pot calling the kettle black. And in this case (against Facebook or in other cases Parler) the harm caused by MSM is far far greater than any conspiracy theory on social media.
I haven't really seen any brand loyalty here so far.
Fuck these people! Regardless of your politics we should not warrant people like this the amount of control they currently have over our capital markets or...the food supply. This is NOT okay.
Putin's is unknown. An advisor said 70B in 2012 [1] Where do you see Xi having comparable substantial wealth? I see 500M to 1.5B.

Where do you get small fraction? That's not true at all. I can't even see either of your examples as having more, let alone a multiple.

Anyway, the wealthiest western capitalists aren't even accounted for. "author Malcolm Gladwell estimated the value of Rockefeller's fortune at its peak, in today's dollars, at $318.3 billion" [2] It's divided among the family at this point though of course.

But of the living individuals that we know (Bezos/Gates/Musk/Zuck), and have accurate info for, your statement is not true.

I have found Elixir as a whole to be amazing, but the debugging process to be painful. Maybe its because I'm used to using Chrome's developer tools (since I mostly debug JavaScript), but I really wish that debugging on Elixir could be simpler. Using printf's is just too painful and feels backwards.
I actually agree with that, I do think therapy and "getting things out of your head" are incredibly valuable. I don't have a problem with this guy - basically he found a way to make money doing what capitalism has deemed a valuable service so he's OK in my book. He's working and building.

My problem is more with the cultural ethos and the vibe of this story and what it and stories like it appear to celebrate or at least normalize.

This headline should have been "enterprising Japanese man builds a service and earns a good living satisfying the needs of others that they value and pay for" :)

> Those sections are not all equal in their "truthiness"

So why are low-truthiness sections like 'opinion pieces' and 'commentaries' published? Well they're cheap, but also because someone's pushing a particular agenda, or agendas.

So how's that different from someone spouting outrage-wrapped half-truths on social media?
Twitter flexed, everyone flinched. Expecting more flexing is where I am. They say the slippery slope is a fallacy, but I am starting to think of that as a reflex saying when someone gets caught shoving the Overton Window.

It's crazy isn't it? This community thinks Apple and Google are monopolies despite being competitors, ditto Twitter and Facebook.

Microsoft isn't though. Not because they don't completely own the Desktop PC market just as they ever did, but because that market is less relevant than it used to be for web devs.

I live in a strange time.
