I think "perfect" refers more to his character and morals rather than intelligence or material success. In the older films he's sort of portrayed as something for men to aspire to. In the newer films his womanising, alcoholism and lived traumas are brought to the fore.
OK, presets are enabled. I'm not sure how to do 'share' other than just having people copy the link. The presets are stored in the 'localStorage' in case people want to save them on their individual browser.

The list is also rudimentary...just add and clear, with the only possibility of naming the preset on the initial save. The 'load' button at the top is there for shared presets as auto-play is finicky on different sites (specifically github.io). It's probably a bit confusing but the reward to effort curve is quickly turning against me.

If you really want MIDI control, let me know and I'll look into it.
I agree. I quit smoking back in 2016 and I don’t think of myself as a smoker at all anymore. I sometimes have to remind myself I used to smoke.

It probably won't be as satisfying for you, but in the US mask-wearing got split along political lines. You can compare red areas (haven't worn masks for months to a year) to blue areas (were still mostly wearing them up to this month when the CDC guidelines changed). Overall, no noticeable effect.

Thanks for the links. I remember reading some of these kinds of studies were approved, but hadn't realised there were some already concluded. The results are certainly promising!

The last psilocybin one is interesting. I listened to a podcast with a psychiatrist who was doing a study of treating depression with psilocybin and he believed the effectiveness was in a handful of therapy sessions with large doses, rather than a series of smaller ones. Perhaps that could explain the last paper you shared.

Nicotine seems to vary depending on the delivery mechanism. Cigar (not inhaled) do not seem to be addictive at all for most who use them, more of a hobby. I've used the little Swedish "packets" you slip under your top lip and those are like a habit that's hard to break while you have a supply, they become part of your daily routine but I've never had any withdrawal symptoms from them.

Cigarettes by all accounts seem addictive as fuck, I did have one when I was younger, desperately wanted another for about 2 days afterwards, after that the craving subsided I never had another one since.

Curiously the Japanese Navy War Gamed their attack on Midway in a similar fashion, and the "USA" team placed their carriers exactly where Nimitiz did a few weeks later, and sank the Japanese fleet.

The top brass then "re floated" and announced the US Navy must sail from Pearl and so be ambushed, as per plan.

So, yeah, risk management is everything

I believe an Eidophor projection system was used in the late 1970's to make possible the large screen display shown in Put That There [0] which was an influential early natural language interface (if you do check out the video, try to keep in mind just how long ago the 1970's were, how limited the compute power was, and that the interactions in the video are real speech interactions, not a canned demo - Siri was still more than 30 years in the future and the 140x192 pixel color display on the Apple II was a revolutionary innovation for the time. Put That There was truly the stuff of Science Fiction made real).

If leaders and strategists around the world could take one single lesson from the Covid pandemic, it should be that you must never, never underestimate the power of mental inertia and the status quo.

It leaves all but an elite few in the dust when reality suddenly changes in what's perceived to be an instant. Most normally competent people will behave as complete morons for the 6-12 months it takes them to understand the new reality. Of course, reality has been changing for a long time, but in principle there's still time to react when it becomes obvious to well-placed observers.

I'm sure that an organization that's able to internalize that lesson will have an immense strategic advantage in a conflict against a peer force. Whether that be a virus, a military adversary or a competing industrial entity.
For those who enjoyed the article, and are further interested in reading more about this central theme of frustrated economic/historical development specially as it took and takes place in Brazil, I recommend reading the late Professor Darcy Ribeiro.

In my view, largely influenced by Ribeiro, Brazil's elites are immensely selfish and petty, as well as always stuck in outdated economics and politics (e.g. rural elites have always been way too influential, ). The State is blatantly *negligent* and does not think about serving its people (e.g. let them build and live in favelas and leave them to their faith, build a new housing project but make it 20 miles from the beach and nevermind planning for transportation or education in the area).

There's definitely much that I love about Brazilian culture and the "general disposition" of my fellow nationals, but I agree that as a whole we have developed this sense of morbid ironic detachment from our social environment.
Given that most of everyone's 'stuff' is now accessed in a browser, it's clear that there's a problem to be solved helping us all keep track of everything. Bookmarks clearly don't cut it any more.

It seems crazy to me though to start by reinventing the browser when there's a thriving ecosystem of extensions built using the standard set of APIs supported by all the top browsers. We need better ways to organize and access all our stuff, not a better browser. 'Topic Maps' [1] are an interesting technology in this space.

Search the Chrome Web Store for 'bookmarks manager' or 'session manager' or 'topic manager' - there are hundreds of little companies experimenting and percolating new ways of keeping track of things. Customize Chrome or Edge or FireFox or Vivaldi or Brave etc, don't try to replace them.

I think it was a decent movie, except for that one... Hollywood action scene toward the end, which felt out of place and more like a "fan service."

Not depicting the same event, but if you liked A Taxi Driver, I'd also recommend 1987 - When the Day Comes which depicts people fighting against the same dictator. (Fun fact: in 1987, the role of one major character was kept secret and he's never called by his name until the end of the movie, because otherwise everybody would've recognized who he was.)
It was physically hard for a couple months while my brain reprogrammed to run without nicotine (i.e. I was pretty slow/stupid for a while) and once in a while I get an urge (maybe every couple months?), but it's not severe enough that I'm in any danger of ever smoking again. Quit over 10 yrs ago. Others mentioned Allen Carr/Easy Way method, and that was definitely a part of putting smoking in context as just a physical addiction.

As long as you're able to separate yourself from the narrative of "I'm a smoker" and just let go the big dramatic story about how it's hard and you're going to fail then it's relatively easy to just deal with the physical symptoms of withdrawal/craving. I have a strict "no nicotine" policy and it makes it super easy because I never have to wrestle with decisions about whether I'm going to smoke/vape/whatever, the decision is already made.
We've been toying with duckly (née gitduck) - and it provides shared web browsing, shared editing, and shared terminal. There might be some rough edges with the in-browser "window management" - but overall it works pretty well IMHO:

Unfortunately not self-hosted.

We briefly tried tmate - do yourself a favour and get the upstream build (available as static binaries for Linux) - it's a bit finky about versions.

Eg via: https://github.com/tmate-io/tmate/releases/tag/2.4.0 get https://github.com/tmate-io/tmate/releases/download/2.4.0/tm... and drop the extracted binary in ~/bin or something.

You can self-hosted tmate, but imnho tmate doesn't add that much value over "grant user ssh access and use plain shared tmux/screen".

In that case, you might (for workstation/laptop) have co-worker's on vpn via wireguard /tailscale, bind sshd to the vpn interface, and allow access via ssh keys/certificates.
You do realise that an aqueduct carrying only water is carrying the same load as one carrying lots of ships? (maybe you do) The weight of the ships displaces exactly the amount of water with that weight. There is of course some water movement to deal with, and there are safety margins required, in case of accidents, etc. - perhaps that was your point, but I think it's worth pointing out, if people aren't familiar with aquaducts.

There's no reason to expect the law to be rational or objective. Why is it a felony when I steal from my employer, but a civil suit when they steal from me?

Because that's what the people who wrote the laws wanted. Applying the same reasoning to this case, I'd be shocked if the courts don't decide that the police have the legal right to reclaim their tracking device.
Your quote doesn't seem to say anything such. It's the decision of the elites, not euro itself.

Italy is one of the biggest losers from joining the euro system.

Certainly many tropes are shared, but that is true beyond the scifi-fantasy intersection. (Although: I would say Klingons are the avatar of Russian-ness in the eyes of America at the time any given episode gets written. Beardy humans in TOS, impoverished but hard as nails in TNG, anarchic and self-destructive in ENT, sneaky and dangerous warmongers in DIS).

I regard the superhero genre as a modern version of the old divine pantheons — heroes and villains, supposedly far beyond human, yet oddly well-balanced against each other (Hawkeye should not be in the same battleground as Thor in the same way and for the same reason that Choi Mi-sun should not be in a battle featuring an attack helicopter).

Sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable from magic and all that.

After the article was written, the Supreme Court of Indiana did end up ruling in favor of the car owner. From the ruling [1]:

In this case, however, there was no obvious indication that the device was put there by the police.

I think the idea of Bitcoin enthusiasts is much more foundational, than just having "digital cash".

I have been reading a book called "The Bitcoin Standard" which highlights that the goal is a switch for society towards Austrian economics and getting back to something like the gold standard (Hint: Bitcoin is the better gold).

The book is quite good and I learned a lot about the history of money - so I'd recommend it.

To paraphrase, the current cash printing is vaporware and not backed by anything anymore - making it quite weak and easy to attack - disaster waiting to happen. Central planning of currency should be replaced by a democratic and capitalist system where the best currency evolves naturally. Which might or might not possibly happen with Bitcoin.

Something like a government bailout using tax payer money of a "too big to fail" organization would not happen in such a world - making the economic system a lot stronger for the individuals.

If you lose to totalitarians, you die. If totalitarians lose to you, they die.

That's kind of a bizarre and exaggerated way to put things. Nominally, what separates dictatorship and democracy is that a democratic regime doesn't wantonly murder it's enemies. Some dictatorial regimes engage in brutal attacks on their enemies but even there, for most people life goes on.

Also, there are a variety of regimes mid-way between democracy and totalitarianism - the current regimes of India and Turkey for example. Which is to say the loss and the gaining of democratic rights is often (though not always) a gradual thing.

Cigars aren't a million miles away from pipe tobacco, you don't inhale them either (some do, but they're lunatics). Larger sizes will probably take an hour, the largest closer to two. Power wise, it very much depends on the cigar, some are very mild, some very powerful, but my personal experience is that much like pipes they aren't addictive for most people, I smoke 2-3 a week in the summer when the weather is nice.
Well, if someone holds the information, among other things, governments will make laws to be able to get at said information. Or they just send intelligence agencies in to go after it in the first place. If you've ever seen any presentations or news articles about/by Ed Snowden for instance, you'll know to what lengths even a solid democratic government like the USA might go to.

And, you're right. Though previously tracking has only ever caused death/injury/severe_national_embarrassment when the data has been obtained by governments, censuses, counties, post offices, phone companies, and possibly social media companies that start with F; so far social media companies that start with Z have not caused any problems that have been reported in the news where I live. We should therefore trust social media companies that start with Z, because they have a flawless track record.
> I was in agreement with the general premise of the article but this wild claim written as a fact makes me question all the other claims that I lack the knowledge to challenge.

I think that's a good reaction, the "questioning" - now go verify them (the other claims) maybe? Also, maybe temper expectations, too -- I read a lot of stuff in which I find myself agreeing and disagreeing in various places, or seeing correct and incorrect things all at once. But I try to resist the instinct to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I don't mean to pile on but I see a lot of this sort of reaction to things these days and I'm curious about it.

> wild claim written as a fact

How should the author have written it instead? "I believe that Italian elites are desperate to remain part of the euro, and I also believe that the Euro subjects it to penury and destroys its future" ? In my mind that's not that different. It's an essay -- it's understood that the entire thing is a "claim", often a wild one.
