Just a thought. If the DNA were run through 2 such holes, you could use a nearby non-uniform sequence to clock the reading of the other one. Not a magic bullet, but maybe an improvement. Assumes the readers can be close enough to bound the amount of slack between them, and that they dont interfere with each other.

There's clear evidence of epigenetics playing a role in brain activity, though these are more linked to hormonal responses such as stress. It's also been proven that RNA transcripts are used to trigger maternal instincts when a zygote is present in a mother: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics

Scientists have already modeled memory retrieval using current neural network models. There's literally videos on youtube demonstrating this. I'd be surprised if RNA was used to encode memories to the extent OP is suggesting: there would have to be a mechanism for storing this RNA inside cells or there would be evidence of random strands of RNA floating around in the body. We would have been found it a long time ago, and scientists would also be able to decode it if these strands of RNA were standardized and could be transferred person to person.

Though the way evolution works and how complicated the body is, it could be occurring in a small sub process in a neurons somewhere in the body. though this would likely be tied to hormonal responses or something equally boring.
I wish we had a tool, like the political compass, that those who run for (re-)election had to fill out by law before they could run. As it is now no one have any idea where different candidates are on the political spectrum as all they do is talk in soundbites and repeat their slogans over and over again.

This reads like a parody of SV hubris. It's a startup to slap note-taking onto a browser shell. It's not curing cancer. I do believe that creating software can be a deeply meaningful experience, and that software can change people's lives for the better in real ways. But... this is a VC-funded startup for a browser shell.

It's crazy to me that the author thought that and their solution was "I should make it easier to take notes" and not "I should spend less time fucking around on the Internet mindlessly consuming media."

The knowledge base should be primarily in your head. If your mind doesn't feel like a knowledge base to you, it's because we're all so busy jamming new data into it that we never slow down and take the time to reflect and process what we've already consumed.

It's a perceived difference between two wings of the "capitalist imperialist" party stoked by media outlets following the money by realizing that people click more when they're outraged.

No, both parties are not the same if you're a centrist, but from the far left side of things, you definitely need your spectacles on to see the difference. Granted, one faction tends to be on the right side of history/civil rights a lot more.

If we're interested in real reconciliation within the current system, I'd definitely advocate for state and nation-wide voter reform. Some sort of proportional representation voting protocol would allow people to pick representatives that argue on behalf of maybe 50-80% of their beliefs, rather than 10-20% of their beliefs. I know that when "my person" wins, I never feel like they're going to particularly represent me or the people I care about in any impactful way.

I think the perception that there are only two real choices stokes the divide quite a bit, because being either with us or against us is a lot easier when there are only two teams. Breaking up the two party system with voter reform would be my #1 fix. That, and reversing Citizens United.
Brand = Personality.

Substitute the latter for the former and everything will make sense.

Personality is the basis for how you talk (copywriting), how you dress (design), and how you act (business conduct / PR).

Your company’s personality should match the personality of the person/company that your target audience wishes to be.

The act of using your product is an expression of your customers’ own personalities.

Branding is about embodying the ideals that your customers wish to express.

To some extent, I guess that's what I've tried to do here. The linear algebra might be too advanced for a 12 year old (I didn't pick it up until much later!), but on the other hand you don't need to follow all the derivations - a 12 year old can learn a lot just by following the results and the resulting algorithms.

There's also a linear algebra appendix [0] that presents the operations, explains how to use them, and how they can be interpreted, without going in any theoretical depth about why these things are the way they are.

Culture + Tribalism + Most internet forums reward the opposite (outrage, insults, lack of nuance)

We recognize we're fighting an uphill battle.

Here's why I'm hopeful: All across the web, I see people trying to have conversations. Really trying to engage. I think we just need better platforms. Twitter is good for some things, but it tends to lack nuance and amplify outrage. Reddit is good for other things, but it's noisy.

I may be delusional but I think there's room for another Internet community to emerge. One where nuance, civility, and substance are incentivized and rewarded.
That part of the wiki is so eerily similar to the GME story.
I worked at a large company a few years ago on a team implementing this. It’s super cool and works great. Definitely where the future is headed
So if I understand this correctly from an application developers perspective:

- for OLTP tasks, something row based like sqlite is great. Small to medium amounts of data mixed reading/writing with transactions

- for OLAP tasks, arrow looks great. Big amounts of data, faster querying (datafusion) and more compact data files with parquet.

Basically prevent the operational database from growing too large, offload older data to arrow/parquet. Did I get this correct?

Additionally there seem to be further benefits like sharing arrow/parquet with other consumers.

Sounds convincing, I just have two very specific questions:

- if I load a ~2GB collection of items into arrow and query it with datafusion, how much slower will this perform in comparison to my current rust code that holds a large Vec in memory and „queries“ via iter/filter?

- if I want to move data from sqlite to a more permanent parquet „Archive“ file, is there a better way than recreating the whole file or write additional files, like, appending?

Really curious, could find no hints online so far to get an idea.

But where is the left's QAnon? Where is the left's birtherism? Where is the left's Marjorie Taylor Greene? Election fraud claims that drag on for months, enabled by major party players who see an opportunity and refuse to clearly shut it down, culminating in an armed assault that some now claim as a false flag operation? Where is the left's Lindsey Graham, a pathetic husk of a man who waffles between saying "I'm out" and then continues to double down?

Of course the tan suit "scandal" was trivial bullshit, but that's the whole point, that that's the source material that Fox News is working with to drum up this kind of outrage— the rest is pure fabrications, a self-feeding cycle where Fox provides a legitimizing platform for it, which then generates the interest and demand for "coverage". So it may well be that both sides see the other as extreme and polarizing, but it's important to not actually equate them, because that is super unfair when one of the sides is in a state of denial about basic reality.

Absolutely! Re-education, rehabilitation is exactly THAT! It's altering the synaptic connections in the brain to bring their behavior in line with what we view should be the case in civilized society. You just seem to have a problem with making that process more efficient.

And it is all just particles moving around, but that doesn't mean we have to ignore what is very likely an unpleasant experience from your subjective, internal point of view. I don't dismiss your personal experience of reality, just your rational understanding of what's going on.

And I do, I really do, but you are inconsistent. You say you should be free to make your choices, but then also want to put people in jail fornmaking their free choices. You call it consequences, and yet that doesn't eliminate the fact that you then want to LIMIT THEIR FREEDOM TO CHOOSE to do it again. You are self contradictory. At best, you are picking what choices people are and aren't allowed to make.
This is a perfectly reasonable response. I would even say in a readme “hey, I don’t know where all this came from originally, contact me if it’s you” or something along those lines. It’s fine though.

I don’t think there is a political party who owns all the media, there is media selling to the highest bidder. How can it all be out to get Trump with the incredible reach of Fox? https://www.foxnews.com/media/fox-news-finishes-2020-as-most...

The truth is nearly all media is just out to get eyeballs and sell ads.

This is over-complicating an already very complicated execution.
yes, you just verified robinhood is a clearing broker. they are not a clearinghouse. imagine a clearinghouse as almost guilds brokerages set up to get a useful function they needed that banks do not want to provide. so you have a ton of clearing brokers and they all send their money to the clearinghouse and then they can just forget about everything other than order execution and settlement and ignore all of the hard problems in the middle. the clearinghouse is itself an institution that also has incentives, and one of them is “in periods of extreme volatility, i am going to increase the capital i require to be held here in order to be certain all of the middle bits can be executed”.

i have no idea why people think robinhood is a clearinghouse, that doesn’t make sense. they don’t want to do that! they want to do PFOF with execution or make settlement take 0 days so they can further take advantage of retail or whatever. being a clearinghouse sucks. no one likes you. banks don’t want to do your job.
I agree with your point about the Democrats' disastrous rightward slide but I don't think that the resulting problem is that Republicans now struggle to distinguish themselves. They're still the party of further tax cuts and deregulation, even if the Democrats have become the party of the status quo ante (or a "return to the Obama years"). I do agree, however, that economics deeply receded in importance for a decade or two.

But during that time, parties were quite content to focus their message to voters on cultural issues: patriotism vs multiculturalism, religious freedom vs tolerance, etc, and distinguish themselves that way. The problem that the Republicans had was that after decades of the conservative media stoking their voters' rage to searing intensity, Trump came along and gave the base what it wanted, which was an end to the restraint and doublespeak, and posturing / policy which produced as many "liberal tears" as possible; politics as punishment. Now in the aftermath of his presidency they have to figure out how to appeal to the mass of their voters' who are still fiercely loyal to Trump while continuing to serve the interests of their donors, who would like someone more stable.

The Democrats, for their part, are trying to figure out how to digest the left wing of their party and appeal to its voters while spending as little as possible (see the $1400 vs $2000 debacle).

>I always wonder why they aren't as popular now.

IMO it's a lot of reasons.

A big one, that was the case even before social media, is the inherent geekiness of it. "RSS" is an acronym after a geek's heart, most people don't like it.

The subscription process is complicated. Go to the site, find the feed (which one? There might be a bunch! eg, main feed, topic feed, comments-per-post feed, etc), take that URL and paste it into your feed reader, then look at that and... you got linked back to the site you were on? Yay... There have been various attempts to streamline this via in-page "add to reader" widgets back in the day, browser plugins, etc. But it was never as frictionless as the Facebook/Twitter/Reddit "follow" button.

Responding to things is harder. There's no comment/like/whatever button right there, you have to go to the site, figure out what's going on there, maybe sign up for yet another damn account if you want to comment. Some sites don't even have comment sections! Or maybe they point you to FB or Twitter anyway. Again there were partial solutions back in the day, but nothing as easy as modern social media.

Last for today, it's not nearly as addictive. Some people (including the author and myself) like that about it... but it doesn't drive adoption nearly as well.

>I assume they'll be popular again some day like vinyl and static web sites.

I think they'll always be niche-popular with geeks, long-form content creators, open web advocates (the "EFF crowd" I guess) and so forth. But I don't think it'll ever be mainstream. At best it could serve as the substrate for something else that becomes mainstream.

Anyway, just my 2 cents from hanging around this space for a decade+.
I understand that perspective. And I agree that it would be nice if all sites offered the full-text content in the feed. But on the flip-side, I still use RSS feed readers (Feedly) daily and simply click through the content.

The value of the RSS feed reader is still there because it allows you to monitor potentially hundreds or thousands of sites for content and then skim through to see if any new content was created today that interests you.

This makes it particularly useful for monitoring personal blogs or sites that only publish a few times per month or year. I personally LOVE reading people's personal blogs, but since most people only publish a post a few times a month (or less), I am unlikely to check their website every day. I also don't want to give them my email address and have them clutter my inbox with new posts. So the feed reader is nice because I can go once a day and see what new content exists. I skim through the posts and click through on a handful of content that interests me. If the content is long, I add it to my "Pocket" (getpocket.com) to read later.

In the feed reader I usually get a preview of their content (the first few paragraphs). I can read the content and click through if desired. So the feed reader still provides value for monitoring all these sites that have sporadic posting schedules.

I understand the value of reading the content entirely in the feed reader, but I don't mind clicking through the content once I know it is something that interests me. The feed reader allows me to skim, filter, and screen content so that I am only clicking through on interesting content (similar to how HN works, we still have to click through content). If content is interesting, there is value in supporting creators by visiting them on their site to get the experience that they designed and potentially supporting them with an ad or two. If ad use is egregious then I might retaliate by blocking ads for their site or simply removing them from my feeds.
Would you say the same thing about email providers who have been dealing with the same thing for ages?

I think whether they could do more to try to identify scams and suspend accounts that appear to be used in scams is separate from whether they ought to be legally responsible.

Generally if I send you Nigerian scam email your email provider will probably TRY to block it but actually holding your email provider instead of me accountable for you getting scammed will be a non starter.

I think we ought to treat this situation as nearly identical.
great graphs for that example

I've found the same thing because I neither deflect talking points, nor do I immediately block people that don't match my talking point

and then I make the cardinal sin of saying "both sides are doing this" and that simply makes both sides dehumanize me when its fairly clear they haven't really talked to each other in a while to come up with an accurate rebuttal

>all real estate deals need to go through proper notary anyways

I don't know if you are American or familiar with how real estate works here. It is decentralized in a way that most countries are not, and there is insurance that people buy against mistakes and problems with transferring property. In a way, you could argue that a single blockchain to track real property would be more centralized than the current system.

"the vast majority of U.S. states have opted for a system of document recording in which no governmental official makes any determination of who owns the title or whether the instruments transferring it are valid"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_insurance

"A recording system combined with title insurance decentralizes records, creating redundancy. For example, when many records were destroyed in San Francisco's 1906 earthquake, out-of-town title companies maintained records that allowed landowners to prove ownership of their property."

I don't quite see why the existence of very rich people make a currency unfair, or non-democratized. I don't think the selling points for populists included "...and everyone will have roughly the same amount of money, too!"

Sibling answers link to the plugin with the details.

The general idea is that it installs the binaries and the data into a subdirectory of ~/.asdf, then sets PATH and the other environment variables to point to there. Then pg_ctl start starts the database.

Without getting into the merits of the whole are ride hail drivers employees thing, I do have close experience with AB5.

AB5 - union drafted, is an absolute unworkable travesty.

A key tell - for a "principled" law - they had to keep on adding so many carveouts and exceptions (and there are lots missed still).

I know folks - who are actively trying to do the right thing - tearing their hair out over AB5.

AB5 has really soured me on some of the labor rights stuff. AB5 is in no way a model solution - I hope other states can come up with more practical approaches - with some thought to the folks who just want a simple way to do the right thing without endless carveouts and classification arguments.
