yes, it's frenzy, a typically pro-social behavior (agreeableness) that's misapplied due to fear and uncertainty, so that we get counterintuitive consequences from overly correlated belief/behavior.

it's the same impulse that got us mis-masking and lockdowns, when the real danger was inter-/intra-familial contact (because that contact is prolonged and our guards are down, unlike with "stranger danger").

happens all too often, and it's frustrating to watch otherwise perceptive and reasonable people forsake those facilities for primal herd behavior.
What is needed is much less, a simple requirement not to stop other from providing the part is enough.

In the vast majority of cases it is not apple the one producing the chips so it would not really make sense to buy it from apple.

There is even the more severe case where the manifacturer disappeared and no factory with similar technology exists. How is Apple or whatever company supposed to produce that chip?

The essential of right of repair is "do not make second hand markets and resellers illegal".
> Fiat is backed by weapons. The same weapons that defend your house from other countries and force you to give up half your salary

This is a very American view of fiat (and governmental role in general). It's a logic that only works if you're talking about the strongest military and associated country out of all alternatives, and at this point it falls apart. How do weapons protect the value of the Angolan kwanza or the Singaporean dollar? Neither of these countries could do anything militarily if a sizeable number of countries did not support their value.
I’m treating them the same: minimizing the likelihood of them entering my body.

Also, there is 12 months more data for the virus than the vaccines. Based on available data, I’m not in an at risk group and have been tested every time I’ve knowingly had contact with anyone who has been infected.
Not really. If we're in a simulation that just begs the question - what is the "real" universe that the simulation is running in. It pushes the question of the nature of our universe up a level where we have zero visibility. No more satisfying that "where was god before he created the universe?"

The mathematical universe sidesteps this problem. If there is a concise and complete model of the universe, that is sufficient for it to exist. A simulation might also be considered a mathematical model, and it would exist in the same way even if nothing ever runs the simulation. So I guess maybe it could be a simulation, but we mustn't ask what it runs on, but what is the program?
In an office environment you can walk around the floor, pop into other people's convos or meetings, learn news and rumors from water cooler conversations. You can do this organically when you see people having a break.

In a remote environment you have no idea if you're interrupting someone when you give them a call, so you need a proper reason to call someone. People discuss things in closed conference calls, chat rooms and email chains, so if they don't invite you you will never learn about any opportunities yourself.
Did you start by consulting for people you'd worked with in the office?

How did you develop clients with whom you've never worked in an office at all?

(I consulted many years ago, sometimes remote, but everyone wanted to see me come in eventually for meetings, so I'm very curious.)
Whose to say this is solely applicable to WFH? Given the numerous anecdotes about how much time is spent at work socializing, I don't see how companies use this to monitor remote employees, but don't start utilizing this for those coming into an office.
If you look at that graph, the sample size for half doze(44%) of AZ is too small: N=41 and N=62. I would not be picky over 5% difference. The trend overall looks solid to me. It's not the first time I hear that the efficacy rate of Sinovac is about 50% and the fact that Phizer and Moderna are the best options.
The two behaves differently, so you can not strictly compare the two. Most of the time stable_mean will give more accurate results, but this is not always the case. For example you can create test cases where the naive approach will return an exact result but stable_mean will have some rounding error.

Kahan summation however is always more precise than naive summation.

The same way monero is banned in Australia - you don't allow exchanges to offer it to your citizens, and for them to cash it out. This can't stop everyone but as exchanges require KYC for cash deposits/withdraws it can curb the majority of the usage especially for speculation purposes. For a US example, look at how binance.com is banned in the US and imagine the same but for every exchange.

If anything banning all of crypto is easier than banning a specific crypto and payment operators are pretty friendly to LE.
BTW the demo link in the sample app does not work:

Worth noting that Robinhood is a member of the DTCC directly. As is Computershare.

You don’t need the connection to Citadel. If any member of DTCC blows up DTCC holds the bag. But all that means is all members of DTCC hold the bag, including the members holding the non-settled long positions because all public equities in the US trade through DTCC or one of its members.
On that note, Rossmann is a curious character. He openly and variously despises Apple’s hardware choices and policies, yet to my memory, that’s his shop works on. Are the economics of repairing Apple products that strong or is the man is a true masochist?
Yeah, that's why my favorite way of reading him is via his short stories. Just enough to get the big idea across and not get lost in too much detail.

Definitely going to play around with this. I'd love to see examples where you have a ton of at first non-usable energy spread out in the world, with some "hot spot" of energy in a corner with some setup allowing for evolving mechanisms. Seeing mechanisms form that are able to utilize the spread-out energy would be really fascinating.
If this device was truly selling well or exceeding Facebook's expectations, they'd be yelling it from the PR department constantly. That one 10X data point they mentioned has zero context and is unsubstantiated enough to be ignored entirely.
I don't know that the climate impact is necessarily settled: https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20200218-why-working-fr...

(note that I'm generally pro wfh, but on the climate side it is feasible that running the AC or heat in your home more during the day is less efficient than driving to work and congregating with bunch of people in a building designed for energy efficiency. I'm not saying that the claim in that article is true, just that I'm not sure that it's settled)

Anecdotally, I ended up getting a CO2 monitor for my house, and had to set the central air fan to run pretty regularly (when not feasible to open windows, which is much of the year year -- quite hot) to circulate the air to keep CO2 levels at a point where they weren't potentially effecting my cognitive abilities (i noticed that's I'd start feeling lethargic and getting headaches, etc). The house is just designed to be sealed up for efficiency, rather than an office building which is often designed to circulate air to avoid that problem. CO2 levels throughout the house have dropped, but there's certainly an energy cost to that.
Ironically, I fixed my moderate chronic insomnia succesfully by going to a doctor with a completely unrelated(citation needed) set of symptoms. My CBT therapist wanted me to fall asleep during the appointment to perform another technique, but obviously I could not. He said to not worry and explained a routine which I’m happy to share to those who didn’t try yet:

- lay, relax, comfort^
- do not move further
- do not put your arms into a position where your breath could disturb them
- focus on what you feel in your body
- scan slowly from head to neck to arms to belly to legs
- name every minor feeling, pain, pressure, etc in your mind
- for(;;) the above three steps, fading your inner voice to just a conception of thought
- breathe in normal, breath out slowly
- continue to scan your body
- count integers on each breath if you slip into thinking
- do not f…ing move ever

^ you may experiment with room temperatures and covering your body parts for a while; also reduce street sounds to not react to these

At the first time using this technique I spent a couple of hours semi-dreaming and turning in the bed, but in a couple of days, after waking up I could only remember the first two steps. Falling asleep in just 5-10 minutes seemed completely unreal to me, but that’s what I’m doing every day now. As a bonus, I recalled the thing my doctor wanted me to recall right at the first at-home experiment.

The theory behind that is that if your insomnia is related to an unstoppable thinking process (a form of an anxiety psychosis, I guess), then there is a hack: you cannot think when you’re focusing on what you feel in your body. You either scan yourself or think (even subconsciously), like a single core multitasking. By burning 100% cpu on sensations, you basically extinguish the fires in your mind, deoxygenating them.

Hope this helps at least some of you, guys! (And sorry if you already tried)
The big question is will insurance companies and CMS pay for it, and that's not up to the FDA. That debate is occurring right now and will likely create new precedents.
Sure, I understand that. But I imagine the IDA views would still be even more difficult to read.
It seems you are thinking of industry as one might use the term "heavy industry" or "industrial manufacturing". It is also valid to speak of people being industrious or laboring for purpose in a similar manner. For example laboring with their attention and experiments on better understanding the world we live in. In other words, the research industry.

Sadly, would you imagine being said is a bit of what the incentives appear to demand. The "publish or perish" phrase is just one popular reference to that.
Unsure why you're getting downvoted for this -- it makes good sense, and many could benefit from this kind of thing. I have a friend who moved from NYC to Ohio recently. He was bellyaching about it a lot (the move was for work), since he thought he would be so sad to leave the cultural opportunities of NYC, etc. Instead he has found that a) Ohio wasn't so bad after all, b) his stress-related conditions have evaporated, and c) he has more time to pursue what he loves doing in that environment.
Is it available in english?
Or any other equivalent book in english?
That’s a disingenuous interpretation and not what I said. Good managers work hard to try and help everyone on the team do their best work. Just keep in mind that the overall team optimum may not be the individual optimum for you. It’s basically impossible to create a work environment that is ideal for more than 3-5 people. The more people you add the more you need to balance everyone’s preferences.

But good management can and does create a work environment where everyone feels things are pretty good.

As for me, the biggest takeaway I have from COVID life is that open office designs have to go, and possibly that hybrid remote work has some answers for how to make that possible. Open office is fine for some kinds of work, but ruins deep work. I think most people who are having an epiphany about work from home either had a terrible commute and didn’t realize how much it stressed them out, or had never gotten to do deep work before and didn’t realize how valuable it was. Those are important things for all of us to learn.
This is news to me, what happened to Nintendo?
I did write a Tcl web system back in the 2000's that was close to the Tk programming model, although not quite a one-to-one. Here is an example of side by side programs for Tk and Aejaks: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/%C3%86jaks+compares+to+Tcl%2F...

Some other screen shots: http://aejaks.sourceforge.net/Screen_Shots/index.html

This was made with the Java based Echo toolkit, and the Jtcl interpreter (Tcl implemented in Java.)
Unequivocally, yes.
"Take me on an adventure" was always a instant no for me. In the modern world a spouse is supposed to be a equal partner, I'm glad I found my wife who feels the same way. I don't want someone I have to drag somewhere like a suitcase.
This is awesome, I really hope more folks adopt this.
mobile is much more akin to desktop development because the API's/etc are specific to each device type (android/iphone).

The web is a different beast from that too.

It says "low risk" of being integrated into the genome. Sounds like there is still a risk.
Upon further reflection, the root cause is poor communication, and the 'bureaucratic judo trick' is just a continuance, or perhaps even an escalation, of an organization's poor culture.
Of course not: if you are fined heavily if you use them, most people won't use them and that's it. Follow the crypto through the chain and if it seems to originate from you, you pay 100x whatever is in the address. Or jail if you cannot pay that. Would work no? You do not need technical measures if you are a resident of a country. But you catch them at the point of conversion to fiat. And then it becomes too much risk and hassle.

I think it would weaponize blockchain: the fact you can be lifted from your bed in 20 years for an illegal transaction because it is on the chain would be enough for most to never touch it.
Because it's a likeable language. It has a small, neat syntax, equally clever semantics, so people do stuff in tcl for fun.
What are you talking about? We have never seen the collapse of all fiat currencies nor even the collapse of a single major fiat currency.
I used to work for a competitor to Klarna, and looked fairly closely into how their services work. My understanding is Klarna was originally built on BankId in Sweeden, which is a pervasive gov backed payment id. Since they are working with an established system, the friction is lower for customers there.

I found my experiences more in line with yours, payment is clunky, and seems dubious.

The Modern Mathematics of Deep Learning
Probably not your fault—there's lots of automated clean-up done on submission, which often requires human post-intervention to ensure correctness.
Do you have a source (or more than one :) ) for that first statement? I believe it intuitively but would like to know if it's actually true.
Ugh, I feel your pain. The software is often SO bad that I almost always immediately uninstall it after using it.

What's doubly annoying is that the new mouse I bought, a Steelseries Rival 5, doesn't seem to store any settings on the mouse. Instead it relies completely on you running their software. All the other mice I've tried have stored keyboard macros and other settings on the mouse, and because of that I'm able to switch easily between PC and work Macbook and still have have my pageup/pagedown side buttons work.

Open source cross platform RGB, fan control, and input settings would be fantastic.
Devils advocate:

Why is hardware treated different than software?

If I own a perpetual license for some type of software, should I be entitled to “repair” the software I own.

(Note: I’m not including SaaS in this since your don’t own that)
They don't necessarily stop but they're...different, I would say. For one thing, if someone is grabbing your attention in the office for a "quick question", it's easy to make a clean break from that interaction and move on. Verbal communication is just more efficient, and it's obvious when you have a legitimate conflict and need to move on from the conversation (On my way out the door, to lunch, to a meeting, etc).

It's also harder to get multiple "quick questions" at the same time, because in office people see when you're physically occupied. And it could be just me, but WFH I've noticed there is more psychological pressure to respond quickly to chats. Don't want people to think you're lounging off! A red "busy" indicator can mean a lot of things, in contrast to someone physically seeing you in conversation with your laptop closed in a meeting room.

In theory you should enforce boundaries "I'll respond to all questions after this virtual meeting is over" or "I have a firm cut off at 5PM and will not respond after that". But that becomes tough when leadership, who should be setting expectations on this stuff, breaks it's own rules and multi-tasks during meetings or has unrealistic availability. Definitely a cultural thing that heavily depends on your exact role and the organization norms.

TL;DR For "Zoom calls and text messaging" are not a drop in replacement for physically talking to someone, especially for people who spend a lot of their day having many small, ad-hoc conversations.
It's great you're able to do your work with only a laptop. Many of us require a few more things, since we spend 6+ hours a day working, like a quality monitor, desk and chair.

Not only that, since we share our space with others (roommates, significant other, children), we may need a dedicated space to not be disturbed.

So my question is why is the above difficult to understand?

Avoiding the Google, or Facebook, or whatever Social Sign On dependency to then adopt an Ethereum SSO dependency doesn't seem like "the ethereum community has accidentally solved a major problem of the Internet."

The sign on problem will be ameliorated - not solved - once everyone has access to one (or several) hardware authentication device(s) and systems start implementing better multi-factor authentication schemes.
Not the GP or in London but this was my commute in LA from Pasadena to Santa Monica (~20 miles). If I left at 5am, it'd take less than 30 minutes but return traffic wouldn't clear up till 8-9pm so on most days it made sense to just suffer normal traffic. On a bad day I'd be in my car in bumper to bumper traffic for 5 hours.

Let's just say I have mixed feelings about the pandemic
I couldn’t do my work on a laptop in a car.

I don’t even like to eat in a car.

I deal with confidential materials I doubt I’d want to work on in a place like the library, and need very high speed Internet to be productive.

I need a separate space for work otherwise I very quickly devolve into depressing “work from bed” scenarios and end up working all day. I need a place that clearly signals “work” and “not work”. I’d never want to infect my kitchen with work bullshit. That’s my happy place.
What a terrible idea. Nobody has the knowledge base to make a real informed decision on the efficacy of a drug. Not filtering for effectiveness is to endorse fraud and blame it on consumers when it happens.

The whole reason the FDA is set up this way was due to the rampant fraud that was occurring before there were standards for what could be sold to consumers as medicine.
> He believes that a crash of cryptocurrencies is unavoidable and that the Netherlands should act as soon as possible.

How would he know and who is he to tell me what to do with my money? His other reasons are sound but that is just stupid. Don't patronize me by deciding what risks I'm allowed to take or act like you know something the rest of us don't.
> Yes, this is what happens when Big Evil Government is gone.

No this is exactly what big gov is.

Every large system is corrupt.

That’s human nature.

Don’t for one second think you can create a better system that works around human nature. You will fail every time.
Efficacy and safety are intertwined. Safety can sometimes only be evaluated in the context of efficacy. For example, you wouldn't amputate a healthy arm. But for a gangrenous one, it may be the only option.

For establishing efficacy and safety, trials are the only process that works. Nobody can predict the effects of drugs because the current understanding of biology is very incomplete.

"White" is a very confusing term which should just be avoided in these discussions. Even talking purely about ancestry of ancient peoples (including Romans), it conflates very diverse origins - Old European farmers (reflected today most clearly by Sardinians), Near Eastern/Levantine (found peculiarly in ancient Etruscans, which agrees with their mythology that tells of a descent from some ancient people of Lydia), Eurasian steppe peoples (this would be the PIE culture-related component that people tend to think about most readily, but there was a lot less of it in the urbanized Mediterranean area than farther north in continental Europe!) were quite distinguishable back then, even though all of them might be described very loosely as "white".
> What does this mean?

I have found that viewing money as a regular good eases the thought process.

The price of money is regulated by demand and supply. Most of the demand comes because government requires taxes to be paid in the fiat money. Also because businesses are required to accept fiat as payment.
This seems interesting - Is there a way to buy this?

"If there are not enough good jobs that can support independent living, providing for a spouse, buying a home or raising a family,"

This seems to be an issue across the board, at least in degrees, but that's because we live in an extractive oligarchy. This can't last forever. I just hope it doesn't lead to either revolution or socialism. We need to rethink our economic principles. Capitalism as state-sponsored usury or as consumerist decadence is not viable, just, or good.

Recall that in the 1950s, the single income of a working father sufficed to support a wife and their many children (since birth rates were much higher then). You can't do that anymore. That seems like a massive regression. We may have more flavors of ice cream, but who cares if that comes at the price of the important stuff. I say this without idealizing those decades. Those are the decades, after all, that led us to where we are today.

"then staying home with the easy accomplishment of video games makes sense."

Well, it doesn't make sense from the perspective of human flourishing. There are other things that a person in that position can be doing rather than pissing his life away in masturbatory activities like video games. This speaks to a deeper demoralization in our society, and in this case, that of men, and not just those who are unemployed or living at home. Our culture sucks.
