> The hardest, most inflation protected and liquid asset wins. Bitcoin.

Bitcoin realistically isn't any more liquid than an ETF, you need to go through similar on/off ramps, and the tax considerations are also comparable.

> Two words, "Ape In".

"Ape in" can lead to "chimp out".

> Lossless store of value is "work"...if your billion dollar nest egg in fiat is losing 10-20% per year due to currency debasement, assets that result in not losing that $200M aren't doing valuable work?

What I mean by "not doing work" is that one Bitcoin stays one Bitcoin over time. A company can grow and pay dividend. Real estate has people working to pay for its rent. Currency debasement affects all asset classes, including stock and real estate.

Then the question becomes: Why would you put money in an asset that doesn't do any work? The answer is that you want to be decorrelated from certain risk. This is a fair argument for Bitcoin (or gold) in terms of portfolio diversification, but it's not a good argument for a large allocation.

>What is the strawman?

"No one sane", and then you build the Tucker Carlson strawman, and continue to use him, after we both conclude he's not "sane".

> What is the whataboutism?

Bringing up right-wing examples here when they were immaterial to my OP.

These are textbook examples of strawmaning and whatabouting.

>Tucker Carlson, one of the most popular "conservatives", opposes racial equality

Where did he oppose racial equality? I did not see any of that in the links you provided. Can you link actual Tucker Carlson videos of him making statements that oppose racial equality?

>You can call him "not sane" if you want, but he has millions of viewers every day and his views are absolutely mainstream Republicanism in 2021.

ChapTrapHouse, TYT, etc. has millions of subscribers that listen every day and their views are absolutely mainstream Democratism in 2021. There are zero Democratic voters or public figured who disagree with CTH/TYT or condemn him

So which is it, are almost all Democrats actually "insane", or are almost all Democrats against racial equality (anti-White, and becoming more anti-Asian)?

You're strawmaning here again because you haven't provided anything that shows Tucker Carlson, or the Republican Party platform, is against racial equality.

Nonetheless, it's all whataboutism. You're incapable of refuting any of my points, including my OP, so you're commiting several fallacies here.
I saw that as well.

it seems to me to be the white-collar version of the blue-collar "I have 14 jobs to stay afloat" thing, some sort of weird awfulness that a certain group has spun into a sign of moral goodness. Look how great things are, they work 3 jobs to pay the bills! Well, we only usually work 1 job, and we get paid a lot, so it's been spun until "look how many tasks they take on a day, aren't they great?".
Android Studio is way nicer. It has all the same WYSIWYG features with the added support of a polished Java IDE at its core. There's much less signing, archiving, provisioning madness to deal with and there are no magic "fix this?" buttons that need to be found and pressed.

You can have your own opinions about Android vs iOS dev but IMO the Android Studio is less confusing and frustrating than xcode.

I would much rather code for 3 days non stop and then take a 4 day break doing some outdoors activity. I think the "business hours" schedule is fantastic for meetings to discuss but terrible for creative work.

The catch is than in many positions, one needs to blend these 2 modes of operation. Some collaboration, some deep work. Unless there's support throughout the organization, what ends up suffering is the deep work.

Not only that, but due to limitations in 19th century surveying technology, the actual 49th parallel as measured by a high precision GPS+GLONASS+Galileo receiver is some dozens of meters different from where the practically enforced line is (such as zero avenue and its ditch in South Surrey/Langley, British Columbia where it meets Whatcom County, WA).

If you go here and search for "B street, Blaine WA" and right click in google maps, look at the latitude, the actual 49th parallel is considerably south of what is enforced in practice. Much of Blaine, and a very long strip all the way to the great lakes, is actually in Canada...

Compression. The more you can simplify what you're trying to learn the better.

Here are some ways to do it:

Breaking concepts into parts and only focusing on understanding one small part at a time. This acts as a 'foothold' for understanding the entire concept, similar to how a foothold in a mountain helps you climb part of the mountain.

Identifying and then ignoring irrelevant parts of the concept (trimming the fat).

Analogizing the concept (or the small parts of it/footholds) to concepts you already know.

Of course there are probably more ways to compress a concept. If someone knows any please do share.

The idea is to work with small concepts in your 'cache'. If a concept is too big you won't efficiently learn it, especially if your short term memory is bad like mine. So, you can break it down into smaller parts and learn each of those, and then combine them at the end. Or you can point to a concept you already know that is in your long-term memory (analogizing).
Agreed. I detest calling, and will do all the automated website things I can to avoid it. When I do call, gimme a human.
That's what kills me and continues to perplex me. Something like AI for agriculture machines (think maize and soybean fields) are NOT heavily regulated, safety critical, or deeply complex. Its basically 160 acres of open space with reasonable guarantees no humans are around.

Genuine question then.. how are we supposed to function properly as software engineers, especially in jobs with long feedback loops?

The nature of my job is that I'm almost more of a train conductor than a software engineer. I configure a job, run it, then wait for 10-30 minutes to get the results. I do this for maybe 5 jobs at a time, on 5 different projects. Naturally I feel a lot of stress and cognitive burden while doing this but I figured it's part of the job.

Is this normal for backend, distributed-computing heavy jobs? Is there a better strategy I can adopt? Should I try to get a new role with a shorter compile-test feedback loop?

Yes. The root cause of unsustainability is still something horrible - the abuse of labor - but not literally the same as environmental goals. This is a case where intersectionality really shines. You really can align goals because ending labor abuse is good for the environment.

Likewise, with meat, the root cause of unsustainability is the animal abuse that enables cheap meat. I'm definitely not blaming the consumer here. Of course you could make sustainable meat, it would just cost 10-400x more (Eating Animals is a great, broad take on this you could read).

My wife (like many wives) multi-tasks to the extreme. Coordinating our household, and running a business means she always has about 100 things in her brain at once. Always on her phone, always planning, making lists, researching, ordering. It's certainly common, and a wonder to witness however I worry about the effects on her brain, as she has trouble sometimes vocalizing her thoughts. She often forgets someone's name, or something's name and it takes her a minute to slow down and find the words. It's happening more and more, and concerns her. I wonder if it's a byproduct of just age or years of multi-tasking and "mind juggling" so many things.

This sounds more like entertainment or leisure time, so I don't know how important "processing any of it" really is. Giving a detailed report about what happened certainly doesn't seem to be a goal, and I don't see why it ought to be. If you're trying to relax or be entertained, and you are succeeding, that seems fine to me.

Seems like the main competition to carbon capture is reduction in carbon release.

Can it ever compete with finding the thing that currently emits the most fossil carbon and replacing it with something that doesn't do that as much?

Seems like a lot of the carbon capture funding has historically came from Industries that did not want to stop emitting fossil carbon, since that was a key part of their main business, and so needed something that was at least vaguely-plausible as a future solution so they could keep emitting carbon today.

A carbon price, as mentioned in the article, would also pit these two things against each other directly. Generate carbon and pay someone to bury it, or just don't emit it in the first place.
I actually already use Metromile, an insurance company that charges per mile and uses GPS tracking to measure that mileage. I'm very happy with it.

I no longer have to subsidize heavy drivers, and my rates are much lower as a result. I can always check the location of my car (in case of theft or forgetfulness) and there are other smaller benefits like diagnostics being pushed to my phone. As a bonus, they allow you to change your policy at any time, enabling me to opt in and out of comprehensive and collision based on the time of year.
Great, I honestly think that's awesome, but I meant it as more of an illustrative example that we all have cultural biases and we shouldn't be so quick to label others' practices as "dumb" just because we don't understand them or practice them ourselves. If it was actively harming anyone then that would be another ethical rabbit-hole, but it's not as far as I can tell, and it's their money to spend/waste as they please.

Now if we're talking about illegal eruvs (eruvim) such as steel cables or chains at ground-level that have killed motorcyclists in the past...I obviously think that's a good thing...
100% correct, I am an artist working in realtime visual effects (previsualization) and it's surprising how often knowledge of how realtime 3d works on the hardware and software end enhances what I can do with my art!

The conversation was very civil though. I spoke to the moderators and they say that the flame-war detector was triggered, but when I asked him to read the comments he agreed that there wasn't a flame-war.

He said that since it was already taken down they would need "a good reason" to put it back up. And that the article's topic was "generic and sensationalist" so they don't feel like they should keep it up.

In my opinion, I think one of the moderators is more athiest and maybe it conflicted with their values and rubbed them the wrong way, so they decided to bury it when the "flame-war" detector went off, even though there was no flame war.

Similar situation, second grade son.

That's a great idea, but I don't know of any place you could do that in real life. Diamonds can be very valuable depending on size, color, clarity etc. Diamond mines have heavy security around their miners to ensure a tiny little diamond doesn't go missing.

There is zero chance they'd let a tourist in.

Yah. I think for me, in the long term, I'd be miserable without a partner. The continuity and shared journey is a key part of what makes life tolerable. Yes, friendships are great, but they're not the same. Not to mention: I like getting laid.

I also think my wife is a uniquely good partner for me. If I lost her, for some reason, it would be difficult to find a situation nearly as good for me.

That's hardly the same as codependence, though.

I also gotta say: When my wife leaves to travel on her own or with the kids for a few days... it's bliss, both during and after. A few days without her is great, and reunion and the chance to share stories of our independent adventures is great, too.

I'm not a parent (yet), but I do wonder about how I would enforce some of the double standards -- I was playing DOOM at age 8 and looking at somewhat questionable content online (my parents had no idea), and I like to think that I still turned out somewhat fine.

Would I really want to use my hacker-grade computer knowledge to enforce a parental control jail on my childrens' ability to consume this meaningful information about the real world at a young age?

(Being the naive developmentally-delayed kid in the peer group who was overly-shielded by parents also is VERY bad.)

One would even argue that DOOM jumpstarted my CS career.

I typically don't talk about it here, but I'd say I've been part of a pretty sexually liberated community (US based) for... about 15 years.

Because of our educational focus, we had a high number of new people come through, learn and mature, and then go off to do other things. So I'd like to think I learned something watching the common arcs.

In American culture, there are two big hangups about sex: (1) nobody is comfortable admitting ignorance & (2) the former leads to nobody being able to communicate about anything sexual.

Essentially every critical sexual conversation is some variant of this: "I'm not sure about X. How do you feel about X?" "I've never tried X. Do you want to try it?" "I'm nervous, but I do. How about if we Y'd and Z'd to start?" "I don't think I'd like Y. What if we Y_1'd and Z'd?" "I'm up for that!"

Notice the numerous admissions of ignorance. Because real conversations start in truth, without judgement. And it's worth it, because that's how you get to the fun times. Either in or out of a relationship.

(And ironically, you know who is typically comfortable admitting ignorance? Those with the most experience)

>>no one owes you companionship or a relationship (platonic or not).

Yes, and it's shared by nearly everyone. The alternative is that you believe someone does owe you a relationship, which is anathema to anyone who values individual liberty and freedom at any level. Everyone who is advocating for making changes to society to improve their chances is really fucking cagey about the specifics.

So let me ask you, what changes do you propose, and who owes you a relationship?
