That’s not much of a point. It’s really just you being on the demonstrably wrong side of actual facts, but acting like your extreme and indefensible take deserves equal validity or ontological status as a “right” belief, but it completely and unequivocally doesn’t.

You wouldn’t be saying this stuff to BLM supporters, only an echo chamber filled with your non-fact-based alternate world. There’s a complete difference of kind between what you’re saying and actual reality, one that can’t be overcome or mitigated at all just by your own gainsaying. Your stance just is, factually, invalid, and you calling the opposite stance invalid as if it’s just two sides of some coin is likewise just invalid all the way down.

> After working on large rails codebases I get nauseous even thinking about having to safely maintain that level of code in dynamically typed languages.

I can’t speak to Rails but this is easy in Python - especially because the addition of typing years back now means that a few annotations will cover most of the common mistakes before leaving your editor. In the Django community there’s a healthy distrust for the heavy levels of magic which are harder to test, which helps a lot.

It's hard to read this as an anon, with experiences I would like to share but can't. This path, while non-standard, can fix things in you that are non-standard. I do respect opinions that say that going it alone is not ideal, however; I think going it somewhat alone with a trusted person you can talk through issues with is incredible. It can fix (literally in hours) what has been broken for decades.

I easily could have wound up working a job with my first name on my shirt for the rest of my life, assuming I was incapable of greater things. Instead I had a random year traveling the world with a motley bunch that changed my life and my own perception of sanity.

If you are opposed to such things, stay clear and take the regular route. If you are willing to take a chance; the road less traveled - you may just change your entire future trajectory.

I wish now I could do it again, but life and time just gets in the way.
Because single players games are more accommodating to network issues, skipped frames, adjustments in resolution etc. You will notice an input latency spike if you're playing a multiplayer game that requires precise and quick input.

I've played around with Stadia a bit, even on "good" internet in the US, 20ms ping, 250mbps, Stadia was only really enjoyable for single players games. Even playing a relatively slow multiplayer game like Dota 2 would have been frustrating fairly often.

I have to figure there were a few textile mills in cotton states that were operating before the Civil War using slave labor.

This could be run like a regular factory with bookkeeping techniques where labor cost was certainly not zero even though laborers were not getting paid nor free to do anything else but go back to picking cotton.

Labor cost could be reduced to a single line on a spreadsheet like any other business.

After the war with slaves now being paid and free to work elsewhere if they could manage it, this would be offset by the workers paying their own upkeep after the slaveowner had become the employer.

There would have been pressure to keep labor cost from escalating at all if possible.

So things could go forward with as little change in financial risk as could be.

A lot of companies today still have the same type structure as these places had after the war, which can be not much different than the structure they had before the war, and Wall Street is still in the same place it was before the war . . .

Interesting fact about Psilocybe mushrooms: You can "program" it to be any drug you want.

When you begin to feel the onset, gently ask for it to be like MDMA (or any drug you want), its effect was shockingly similar.

Never ask Psilocybe mushroom what it is because I often have terrible trips. It's simply out of this world literally.

“I’ve mentioned that psilocin, which is what psilocybin quickly becomes as it enters your metabolism, is 4 hydroxy dimethyltryptamine. It is the only 4-substituted indole in all of organic nature. Let this rattle around in your mind for a moment. It is the only 4-substituted indole known to exist on earth. It happens to be this psychedelic substance that occurs in about eighty species of fungi, most of which are native to the New World. Psilocybin has a unique chemical signature that says, “I am artificial; I come from outside.”

There was am academic system (whose name I unfortunately cannot recall now) which would hook up the "file open" dialog and run it from trusted mode. When a user would pick up a file, then the program would have access to it, and only it. This apparently worked pretty great for programs which needed only one file. It probably would not have worked as great for programs which do more advanced stuff, like IDEs which need to be able to "search in files". I think modern Androids can do the same sometimes?

But practically, as a person who runs sandboxed browser daily, it there is not "a great deal of convenience and restrictions". Even before sandbox, I'd download files to default location and later move some of them elsewhere -- so this is not really changing. A requirement to place files which need to be uploaded into a shared folder is somewhat annoying, but I found out that I don't upload that many files from browsers anyway.

If one group of people are at a disadvantage due to racism and discrimination, then how do you suggest one compensates for that?

Do you shrug and go "though luck! It is what it is," or do you use legislation to try to compensate and level the playing-field?

And to play the devils advocate. Say I was a racist and I was very okay with it along with 150 million other Americans. And together we make life miserable for POC. How do you suggest dealing with us?

That's a really good point. The strongest statement the article had was "stalling hundreds of motorists," and the shutdown was "as a precaution." It's not clear if the gathering or the shutdown "stalled" the motorists.

Sloppy reporting; it's really easy to read that and picture protesters blocking the driveway.

Their rights here should be pretty easy to sort out; they just have to follow the same rules as abortion clinic protesters.
I used to nap regularly around lunch time but it sometimes made it difficult to dflaa asleep at a reasonable time those evenings.

Then I listened to Andrew Huberman talk about doing some meditation or yoga, getting inside, at 16:00 to reset your "external" system (1). I did a fair amount of meditation in the past so thought I'd give it a try, but keep it extremely sole just focus on my breath and being a witness without getting involved with anything going on around me. I do this for 15 mins around 16:00 (depending on what's going on at work). For me it works, I feel refreshed, re-energized like after a nap, but with the advantage that I have no problem to fall asleep at night.

I don't think you're really paying for the development per se.

Good article.

I thought this line from the article was interesting:

> Online sign-ups are especially challenging for older people, perhaps the worst group to beta-test a new system.

I think I understand the author's intent when saying "worst group", but in this case I can't imagine a better group. They're literally the first people who will need to be using this system! If you beta-test your product with the people who will be able to use it despite all of its flaws, is that really testing?

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Karma is a bitch.

There have been thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of invasions, and probably hundreds of genocides in the last 10,000 years.

We've forgotten about this in modern times because the big bad US "takes care" of us with their aircraft carriers, but the time may come where our fate more closely resembles Syria and other places that the US doesn't favor.

Criticizing a country for invading is a bit hypocritical imo, since every country border that exists de facto exists because it's government conquered that land.

Or is this like the housing situation in San Francisco? "Fuck you, got mine".
It’s 0.00275% of the income tax paid annually ($44M/$1.6T)and an even smaller amount of the total tax. Assuming you’re an average taxpayer, it cost you about thirty one cents ($44M/143M people). If you’re a median taxpayer it’s even less.

This is a giant fuck up, but way out of perspective.

Even with all the other fuckups, the wasted portion of your taxes surely isn’t enough for heads to roll.

Trump was nominated because he brought more middle east leaders to the table for peace than any president in recent memory. Stalin and Hitler murdered gajillions. So, what's your point? If it's that Trump did things not considered peaceful, despite the peace inducing actions, then why not call out Obama for the drone bombing of Anwar Al-Awlaki, a US citizen? And Obama GOT a peace prize.

To be clear - my point is not to endorse the Trump peace prize nomination, or even to make this a Trump vs Obama debate. My only gripe here is this constant inclusion of Trump as a villain, of Hitler caliber. It's not a generally accepted premise, so let's stop using it as one.

The government isn't a person. Its lot of people. And presumably the government people involved in this case assumed Deloitte (a well known, large consulting company) was trustworthy and capable.

No doubt the Deloitte sales reps had much more experience swindling clients than the government managers had experience covering themselves against dodgy software agencies.
> I don't have prime and the whole UI is set up to trick me into getting prime.

Back when I was still in college they offered a "6 month trial" of Prime Student. I agreed, made a mental note to cancel it in 5 months, and was shocked to find the next day that my card had been charged. There weren't any purchase screens, any terms to agree to, or anything to indicate that the trial they were peddling was in fact just an ordinary Prime Student subscription which would then renew in 6 months.
> The Castalia Foundation disputes the theory that serotonin availability is a core determinant of mood in humans.

Much is still not understood about serotonin, but this is ridiculous.

This appears to be pseudoscience of the same variety as anti-vax literature and rumors of 5G causing COVID.

Ryan Cohen is very suspect because he bought huge amount of GME before the actual PUMP, then tried to cover his tracks with announcements of "Game Stop needs to get their act together", bullish investor hype, all the good cover narrative he would need.
Then all the pink slots in January are shorts, people who likely lost money.

I don't buy Ryan's hype, SEC needs to dump discovery on this guy, check his cellphone records, I bet he was incahoots with Roaring Kitty and other wallstreetbets guys.
“ If anything the Indian media absolutely loves to troll and embarass the government, “...” I would suggest the media in India is far freer of government influence than the mainstream media in the United States”

This above argument is a joke. A good majority of the mainstream media in India are paid for and/or afraid of the current government. There is plenty to be said about this but I want to stick with farm bill issue.

You say: “ current farmer protests, they are demanding that minimum price supports not be removed.” That is not the demand. The demand is to ensure that these new trading places outside of the mandis support the minimum price. The minimum price is a not a law but these mandis do follow them especially since the government also procures crops from the farmers. The farmers fear that with non-government buyers entering the market they would be less incentivized to buy them at minimum price. There are couple of links below that go into more of the nuances of the bill and what the farmers fear.

Norway has extraordinary levels of renewable energy.
The anti-authoritarian tone is typical with this subject matter during the Nixon era. The manual ultimately advocates for self-reliance. It uses MDMA as a tool. The current model for healing is still one of dependency in our society. I wonder if this model has done more bad than good. Most of the people we are supposed to trust don't really have the ethical responsibility needed to do their job if they're just looking out for themselves.
>They have a lot of experience in every part of the car except the drive train.

and to this day they cant make a truck dash that doesnt crack after 5 years in Nebraska sun.
Let me try to invert your point in the other direction. Imagine that, rather than having walkable cities, every Norwegian commuted alone by car for one hour every day. Imagine - and having lived in Scandinavia for many years, I know this is hard - that there is no grocery store within any reasonable biking or walking distance. Imagine an 8-hour drive is a normal weekend thing to do, because there is no working train infrastructure.

In this version of Norway, every single Norwegian would own at least one car. Generally you own multiple cars, because if your one car goes to the shop, you cannot leave your house - it would take hours to walk or bike to work!

This version of Norway, as you can imagine, has way, way way more cars. Specifically, roughly twice as many (~400 cars per 1000 Norwegians vs ~800 cars per 1000 Americans). And they drive, way, way way more miles per year.

When you combine the much higher number of vehicles in America with the much higher number of annual miles driven, the American challenge, in kWh added to the grid, is perhaps 4-5 times the size of the Norwegian one.

Not to mention that, in Norway there is a single grid maintained by a single operator working in lock-step with the national governments climate priorities. In America there are three grids managed by nine regional operators that all hate each other in various fascinating ways.

All to say. There are definitely lessons, but Americas relationship to cars makes the "Norway can ramp car sales to 50% BEV why can't you" argument misplaced. It's like arguing that since the US grid adds, per quarter, twice as many BEVs as the Norwegian grid adds per year, why can't Norway take some pointers from the US? Well, because that's a silly comparison.
How ironic that this is published on the NYtimes of all places.
Yes, but the problems are interwoven. Poverty amplifies the problem of racism. But racism is what caused that poverty in the first place.

Now I do believe that more social democratic policies would benefit African-Americans a lot. But it would not completely eradicate the problems of racism and they would still be worse off than white.

The problem with only tackling racism and not inequality and poverty is that, even if you removed racism completely, African-Americans would still be stuck with being poor, simply for historical reasons.

Just like poor white people are likely to have kids which are poor.

Regarding ZeroTier, these days I recommend using tailscale [1] instead. Much simpler setup, easier to understand, and likely more secure since it's just built on top of Wireguard (vs. layers of custom protocols). You do trade-off some of the more advanced features, but those are hardly used for this use-case anyway.

Poe’s law is to blame. On the internet you can’t confidently tell when someone is being figurative.
> Why can't we speak figuratively anymore?

Because it’s less than a month since people stormed the US capital, literally erecting a guillotine and literally calling for politicians they disliked to be hanged. How is this hard for you to understand?

If you want to speak figuratively, then maybe don’t do it using exactly the same speech that other people are demonstrably using and acting upon literally.

EDIT: “gallows”. I meant “gallows”, not “guillotine”. That’s an embarrassing mistake which will now live in my comment history forever!
