I assumed "for example" follows a collection/set as opposed to "that is" which is a 1-1 mapping. Sibling comment clarified it for me on why "for example" makes sense in this context.
Hopefully this blows up.
The world has undoubtedly changed but mostly for the better. Digital technology, however, is still in its infancy. Many users are brand new to the internet in the last ten years. I have learned to pace my time on the internet, but this is after 25 years of practice and burning out on the novelty of it. We are all figuring out that new does not mean progress.

Case in point: I recently started back with the DVD side of Netflix. This is what I remembered being so awesome: find a good movie list, add it to your queue, pop envelopes in the mailbox when you're done.

It is 1000% better than endless scrolling on 5 different streaming services. I think about what I want to watch twice a month, and when I have time, I don't have to deal with any ads or worry about a spotty night on a cable modem.

I avoided the whole smart-home fad because there's nothing wrong with physical controls and buttons that have been developed over generations of human interaction. That's why I'm waiting for a good built-in-the-USA electric instead of buying a chassis with a touchscreen.

But someone else may hate controls and love touchscreens -- cool. The market lets us pick and choose.

If we can continue to reign in the inequality and environmental impacts produced by technology, use the incredible wealth we have as societies to finally end poverty, and continue to make progress against injustice, the future is incredibly bright.
Not normal.

Say theoretically everything was the same in this timeline EXCEPT there is no reddit, facebook, twitter, or 4chan.

QAnon has no platform available. Hell, maybe we still have blogs but you aren't plastered echo-chamber friendly messages you have to actually search for stuff to read or maybe go to a phpbb forum.

Trump without Twitter, QAnon, 4Chan would've probably played out differently. Without a way for society to constantly feed his narcissism would he have been so anti-mask - would anti-science even be so big if there weren't echo-chambers re-inforcing this?

That's just social media itself. It's literally poisoned our society as much as a social credit score in China probably has there among relationships. Piss someone off and now you're an enemy combatant and can't travel.

I think tech can also fix a lot, but it depends how we use it and what we do with it. I hope we can science our way out of Global Warming but I'm not very optimistic about us surviving into 2100s.
I saw that video somewhat recently. I believe what the audience probably learned is that Buckley was not terribly effective at debating in that format. I am not sure what they learned from Baldwin. I don't recall learning anything from him in that video.

I would be shocked if that was actually the first time they learned that being a member of a conquered or enslaved people was really not very nice in a variety of different ways. Maybe they did not know about some of the particular ways in which it is bad, but these are as you noted young members of the elite class in a rapidly decolonializing empire. I would expect them to know the ethical debate over imperialism like the back of their hand, and would expect them to generally be unfavorable toward it.

These people knew about the history of slavery, not just in Europe and the Americas, but about, for instance, slavery in the middle east, where, despite bringing in huge numbers of African slaves, there are virtually no descendants of African slaves today, due to the customary treatment of slaves there.

As for whether Jefferson's ideals are a sham, clearly they are to some degree. Maybe the people who signed that document believed all men are created equal, and believed that applied also to their slaves, but if they did believe that, they clearly did not see much of a problem with ignoring their inalienable rights. This contradiction has been discussed since before the ink was dry, and is quite well known. They were not laying out a carefully reasoned philosophical treatise, they were trying to rally their own side in a political debate.

An ignorant person could believe that American ideals mean that American society was built for all Americans equally, but the audience members were not ignorant people. So I don't know, you tell me what you think they learned, and why you think they gave a standing ovation.
Well now I'm curious to know how Glass is doing.
This article tests that. Read down to the "Sequential Drive Fill" section.
The article says that they’re reassigning 150 people who worked on internal games. If they were betting the future of the platform on the number and quality of games that can be turned out by 150 people, then this never made any sense. Major game studios are hundreds or thousands of people, so this is just Google admitting that nobody in-house can come up with any good games. I don’t think it says much about the future of the platform one way or another.
Yes. You break your fast everytime you eat.
Thank you for the link. When I started seeing my current doctor, they tried scare mongering by claiming stimulants can cause Parkinsons. There is a study to back this up [1,2], but I was skeptical of it since they didn't seem to control for the fact that someone with ADHD but not on stimulants could either have less intense ADHD or perhaps have some other confounding condition.

The study authors actually mention:

"The association of ADHD patients prescribed psychostimulants with higher risk of diseases of the basal ganglia and cerebellum may reflect a more severe ADHD phenotype rather than a direct association between prescribed stimulant use and basal ganglia or cerebellum disorders."[2]

It's somewhat encouraging to see that this seems to be true and increased chance of Parkinson's is likely due to the severity of ADHD and not due to medication which helps people with ADHD be functional.

Google tells me that coffee has about twice as much caffeine as black tea (depending on the blend) so your 10+ cups of tea are probably similar to my previous 5+ cups of coffee. Obviously I'm not a doctor and I can't diagnose anyone over the internet, but if you're drinking that much and it doesn't have you wired or give you trouble sleeping then you might consider talking with your doctor about ADHD.
What I’ve seen of the Polestar android integration is rough but very promising. Hopefully this doesn’t go down like the WearOS experiment where the initial release is good but updates are hobbled by feature creep sucking up performance on static hardware.
Those are great examples of others, like the OP, that came close but then limited themselves with objectives anyway :)
SEEKING WORK | Washington state | Remote only

I do resume work, usually for IT professionals. I try to clean it up and improve it and give you some feedback on why I did what I did so you can up your game in the future. It's sort of like resume coaching because we all know you are supposed to do a custom resume for every job. A resume is never "one and done" so I treat it like this is the final word. I treat it like this is something that will help you keep it clean and readable.

No PDFs. They cannot be edited. I typically get Google docs from people.

I take PayPal, Venmo and Zelle.

This looks great. On a side note, I was wondering why the controls were freaking out when I was trying to depart, and then realised I had my foot on my rudder pedals I use for flight sim (not useful for trains despite my best efforts). I was trying to disable it in Brave browser but couldn't find a way. It seems any website can just read your gamepad input?

This doesn't happen on Firefox and this [0] is probably why. I imagine this could be used for fingerprinting, am I missing something?

Anyway, back to driving trains.

I think in many ways yes. A local island that now has been turned into residential units, still has some old buildings from the 1920s. Including a dance hall. Its abandoned now. But the scale and grandeur of the place, has played on my imagination. What it was like to be in there with a thousand other people on a weekend just out dancing. No internet, or TV. I've also seen some street photos from NY from that time period. Everyone looks so trim and upright, well dressed and civilized. Its like tech added 30-50 lbs of fat on the average person. And replaced actual social interaction, with poor substitutes of facebook, twitter, youtube and TV.
You'd be similarly amazed at how far tin from what is now cornwall turns up across the world.

Nowadays we can hop on a train or drive a car or even fly vast distances. It wasn't that long ago that it was a big deal driving a car from the USA down south.

Once you have built a boat with a sail or oars or both, that flat blue thing is a rather quick way from A to B. OK the sea can be very unforgiving but it is worth the risk and with skill it is a manageable risk.

I'm not sure what "pagan Anglo Saxon Britain" means. Just like say "pagan Goa India" makes no sense. The Brythonic tribes of pre "Roman times" and the tribes prior to them traded in iron and much more for millenia with peoples at least as far as the Med sea.

I say Brythonic and that is a term coined by a bunch of Greeks, I think. A Greek bloke called Pytheas (with crew) circumnavigated these islands back in the day and wrote it up. He used the term "Pretanike" to describe the locals.

There is a dangerous fallacy to believe that modern constructs, societietal forms, sensitivities etc are applicable to the past. They really are not. There really is no such thing as an Anglo-Saxon per se (note my use of Latin there 8)

So given that these isles have rather a lot of sea and rivers available means that it was actually inevitable that artifacts made from the natural resources from these parts are found right across quite a huge part of the globe.

Once you've flogged off your iron for something useful, some pretty gewgaws for the wife is a good idea, otherwise she might not let you out next year ... 8)
I suppose that's true, but kind of beside the point. The "official" price isn't really the price if any random person can't actually buy shares at that price. (Kind of like the Raspberry pi zero that can buy for $10 or so but you can't actually buy in volume at that price.) And supposing that you're sitting on 101% of the stock and people are still buying and selling, then what in the world is going on?

(I don't know if that's really what's happening with Gamestop.)

Anyways, even if the price is artificially low because of some artificial trades driving it down, that doesn't really matter in the sense of the shorts being able to unwind their positions. If the people who hold most of the stock aren't willing to sell for less than a certain amount, then that's what the shorts will have to pay if there aren't any other available shares. That requires the people with the stock to hold out for a good price (even if some infinitely wealthy person is borrowing real or imaginary shares and selling them for $1), but if they do they "win". At least, that's my (possibly inaccurate) understanding of the situation.

One aspect of this whole thing I don't understand is what happens in a "failure to deliver" situation? If the shorts just can't or don't want to pay the market price for a share, what's the penalty? Do they get sued? Declare bankruptcy? Is the exchange or brokerage liable for their debts?
I did an exhaustive search and tried them all. The answer is Vornado Evap40. Can easily dump 2 gallons in half a day. Nothing even comes close. Key is moderate negative air pressure. Operating cost is higher than most but well worth it.
Super cool that this is all-civilian, and I love the charitable aspect of it. it's not just some vain rich guy and his buddies, kudos to them
It really depends which place are you working at.
If you're at a fast paced startup or a AAA gaming company, I can imagine working overtime almost every week plus extra time on weekends.

But if you're working at a small/medium sized company, possibly at a agency or government job or at a uni, you will hardly be called to work over time.

The share of young men not having sex has tripled in the past decade:

https://twitter.com/_cingraham/status/1111607604348805120

What do you think accounts for this change? Seems pretty plausible to me that it has something to do with technology. Perhaps it has something to do with dating apps, perhaps young men are substituting porn for real intimacy, perhaps some combination. Either way, doesn't seem like a good change. And by the pigeonhole principle, if more women are having sex than men, it must be the case that some men are sleeping with multiple women (modulo homosexuality and young women sleeping with older guys).

(I don't think "you just need to be a better partner" moralizing has much explanatory power, it's a lecture that can be delivered in any time or place to any gender and doesn't speak to underlying trends.)

I'm pretty sure I had this exact model of humidifier at one point and had...none of these issues?

- I was able to pop the fan grille off for cleaning, it took me a while to figure out how, but once I did it was pretty easy.

- The wick does get crusty with mineral deposits, but I just soaked it in a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water (with a good subsequent rinsing), and it was almost as good as new.

- The rest was pretty easy to clean. As easy as any other humidifier I've owned, at any rate.

- I had it in a small bedroom (couldn't be more than 200 sq. ft), and it was perfectly humid in the room. Granted, it was a tiny room.

> Easily distracted by noise (hypersensitive to external sounds like birds, cars, construction, etc.)

I suffer from misophonia in a way that is similar to this. There are certain high, mid-high sounds that cause a painfully disorienting "touch" sensation for me, along with the usual suspects like chewing. I hear sonic animal repellents that most people out of their teen years don't.

I was skeptical about these in the past. I received a pair as a Christmas present and they've been literally life-changing, especially in COVID World with the kids at home. They're Bose and probably cost more than I would spend on myself, but they are priceless to me now.
Probably better to call it “self-custodial” since you still have to maintain security of the keys yourself. But yeah, there’s no additional custodian required, unlike (say) publicly traded securities.

Maybe this would work for you? It's a hiking sim in the Rockies inspired by A Short Hike .. I think I abandoned it before getting any sort of gamification/objectives added :) It just came about because I found some surprisingly high resolution elevation data.

Edit: Just went back and replayed, forgot about the stamina mechanic. You need to end the hike when the bar is in the green to gain more stamina for the next day (either by hitting E at the "car" or Q)

Does anybody know if it's safe to add copper sulfate to evaporative humidifier? I've checked some resources and based on what I read it should be safe and very cheap. Yet this doesn't seem to be popular so I'm wondering if maybe I'm missing something. I'm only talking about evaporative humidifier.
Same here. In fact, when the psychiatrist was taking history in my initial screening, when I mentioned I'd taken cocaine but been disappointed with its lack of euphoric effect despite my friends enjoying it (it just made my face numb), she said that sort of previous reaction to stimulants was common in her ADHD diagnosed patients.

When I started on Vyvanse after diagnosis, the biggest effect I noticed at first was that my mind just felt quite calm compared to usual. No high or anything like that, just .. not as many uncontrollable thoughts rushing around my mind like they usually do.
Why is negative air pressure important?
Moreover Valve's hardest push in the past years was in VR. They are literally the only major (not indie or AA, and not doing a bad port of an already existing game, like Bethesda) developer to make a full game's worth of content for the platform that makes full use of the platform. Alyx was a breath of fresh air for anyone who wanted something out of VR that didn't feel like an incomplete experience.

And VR is inherently incompatible with the design goals of cloud computing. The slightest of latencies destroy the illusion in VR. Valve is not going to support a world that doesn't encourage people to own the hardware necessary to run VR.
I suspect you are right. I bought a wireless router they recommended once, and it was worse than the one it replaced. Since then I have not trusted any online review site.

The 1% chance you will click on a singles ad is worth more to Facebook than a 90% chance you will click on an ad for your favourite hobby. The singles company will pay higher for that 1% click chance than anyone else. Even if Facebook could show you a more relevant ad, they are not incentivized to do so.

It doesn't matter to Facebook/Amazon whether or not they show you ads you are interested in (or that might impress you with how deep they understand you as a person). It only matters if advertisers get better results than they would get by spending their ad money on TV, Newspapers, Magazines, Radio, etc.

I unknowingly self-medicated with ludicrous amounts of coffee before my diagnosis, but my tolerance got way too high.

After that, realizing that my preferred decongestant was not only helping my cold symptoms, but also allowing me to pay attention when people were talking and complete plans in a "this seems like that thing other people are really good at, but I'm not" kind of way... that was a major tell.

You don't need social media or high tech to attack and dismantle democracy, to exert racist police brutality, to mishandle a pandemic, or to flock together and storm a government building like the US Capitol. All of this happened in world history before, with less advanced technology, a century or even longer ago.
