We actually don't know that:

"What about people experiencing a divine being communicating to them, then?"

But we have studied this and the answers tell us what the most realistic thing actually is and thats why we see 'divine being communicating to them' as a mental illness.

You can expierence this challanging thought yourself by taking LSD. Realizing that you are actually know everything for a few hours and than getting back to your 'normal reality' is exhausting.

But i still don't believe we are all caught on the earth and we need LSD to shackle those bounds. I know how many people are on the planet, how many people i have seen die and leave our planet in the normal rational way. I have never ever seen anything which makes me believe otherwise and LSD showed me even more how fragile my own reality is.

You might want to look in a medical book on different topics you refered to to see what you believe. Nonetheless its just more realistic that human a had a similiar brain issue than all other similiar independend cases before than that this person is now talking directly to god and we areound us are all dumb shits not being able to recognise it.

My default sentence for this is simple: I'm a good person, and i don't like the idea very much that there is a god who allows cancer in kids and rape from religious people and murder etc. and either this god is a massive asshole, clearly not relevant enought to woreshop or doesn't exist anyway.
> You have always been able to reverse the scroll direction in the Mouse/Trackpad options. It’s a checkbox that says “Scroll direction: Natural”.

Yes, but, for some reason, changing this to the old direction breaks the volume / backlight in the menu drop-down panel.

Which is clearly a bug because:

Scrolling up / down always changes the volume the same way: down is lower.

But if "natural" is unchecked (so scrolling down moves content up) then scrolling left moves the volume control to the right. If "natural" is checked, then scrolling left moves the control to the left.

This behaviour has been broken at least since they introduced the horizontal volume panel, not sure which version that was. Not sure how it worked before, because it had never occurred to me to scroll sideways on a vertical control.

The problem with this is that if your records/documents are small, you're wasting huge amounts of space because each file uses a full filesystem block. If you have, say, ten thousand records where each is 200 bytes, a decent database would store that in a bit over 2MB. Storing these as individual files on a filesystem with 4kB blocks will take up at least 40MB. This is a huge amount of wasted space, not to mention slow. (Some filesystems do support tail packing but that won't fully solve the problem.)

Not to mention all the other problems with this. The filesystem has a complete lack of higher-level features: no transactions, no snapshots, no indexing beyond filenames, no easy robustness guarantees (doing fsync() properly is a lot more complicated than it appears.) Honestly for modern apps the filesystem is just terrible at storing any internal mutable app data.

Once you start writing code to store auxiliary indices, synchronize writes, or pack multiple records per file, well at that point you're just implementing your own database. This might make sense if, say, you have a special way of compressing your data (like git). But generally you're better off using a real embedded database.

"Western values" isn't all that great. It is primarily focused on attacking the "other" or "non-believers"

Feminism - attack men

Communism - attack the rich

Wokeism - attack non-believers

"liberalism" - attack non-believers

Atheism - attack believers

It all comes from
Christianity - attack non-believers (esp. idolators)

The western frameworks are all built on this same framework, every new movement that comes out of it is bound to create more conflicts.

The western world is thankfully Indianising with yoga and vegetarianism, hopefully the future is Dharmic.

IMO their ambitious goal is to replace both Android and ChromeOS.

From https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/fuchsia/+/refs/heads/main/d...

> This document proposes a mechanism for running unmodified Linux programs on Fuchsia. The programs are run in a userspace process whose system interface is compatible with the Linux ABI. Rather than using the Linux kernel to implement this interface, we will implement the interface in a Fuchsia userspace program, called starnix. Largely, starnix will serve as a compatibility layer, translating requests from the Linux client program to the appropriate Fuchsia subsystem.

So they will be able to run unmodified Linux binaries which should allow for a smooth transition from Android/Linux.

I'm not even sure that they'll rebrand Android at that point, as kernel for users is invisible. My guess is they'll just replace Linux with Fuchsia.
Of course and one way to do that is by ensuring everyone gains. Startups for example create wealth by building products that provide a service to their communities. Paul Graham talks about this sort of thing on his blog. I think that's great even though it's not the case for folks in rent-seeking economies with zero-sum games where people can only win by making the other guy lose. Would you encourage someone in that situation to act against their self-interest?

You're overestimating Trump. India under Modi is in the process of trying to build an authoritarian Hindu nation-state with a completely alternative model compared to the secular, western-inspired mode it has run on up until now.

Trump, despite tricking a few LARPers into thinking he had some kind of great agenda was just a TV show host. He was about as likely to rebuild the US in some kind of new image as a televangelist is in bringing the kingdom of god to earth.

This needs to be understood in the context of a cultural onslaught of American values. More than just social media, services like Netflix, Prime, Disney are streaming live into millions of households in India.

India has its own authentic identity that is under severe threat. If you look at China / East Asia - it is culturally and aesthetically like the West, mostly America, other than language and deference to authority.

India has been traditionally liberal through the ages, it has more diverse cultures embedded in society and has fought much fewer internal wars than any ancient civilization. Few other cultures have outright pacifist icons such as Buddha or Gandhi. It has been able to absorb external influences gradually while maintaining its own distinct identity.

The backlash we see is not as harsh as China or the Islamic world, but India will need its own gradual pace to accept changes. It is more than this core liberalism that connects India to the West. While India and America are not geopolitically aligned, Indians in America have formed deep cultural roots that connect the two cultures. Technology leaders like Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella are role models for every child in India, so is American VP Kamala Harris.

The article in my view is not wrong, but takes a very narrow view of things. Other than the few 100 posts that Indian authorities have removed, there are 100s of thousands of critical posts that are still widely circulated. The government inadvertently makes "own goals" and add fuel to fire when it does stupid things like this. The farmer's protest blew up in their face and this is not the end.

There is a lot more to be hopeful about India rather than expect it to follow narrow nationalism of China or fierce capitalism of America.

Religion is dividing our society. Its reasonable to wish for an independent believe system for our whole society.

Nonetheless arguing on hn is not a mob.

But yes discriminiation of woman is a bigger problem than religion. Forced marriages, hanging gay people, raping children, religious conflicts are a huge issue still today.

Unfortunate for us, sciencse or a global believe system doesn't need to have a church. It happens trhough alignment, communication etc.

We are already more aligned through knowledge but we just don't promote that. My friend and i are not going to our science church on sunday because we don't need to. We don't need to discuss 1+1=2 because its proven. And while social norms are not that explicit, we see big progress here as well: In germany for example, we don't hang people on carcranes because they are gay.

Its just harder to keep track of this and doing the right thing if you don't get it pushed in every sunday. And indepenedent of this, in bavaria you had one hour every week christian religion in school. I grew up with plenty of assholes. Clearly religioun did not brought us as humans together.

>exceptionally high quality OLED displays.....

The highest quality should be Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Screen. The problem is the sub pixel alignment on OLED means we have to push PPI density and resolution to a ridiculous level to compensate, which in turns requires higher GPU performance and energy requirement. I sometimes I wonder if it even makes sense for these trade offs.

I know we are still far away from it happening but I am really looking forward to microLED display.

Yes, this. "I have a SECRET client" is the most annoying thing ever. Especially since the client (in my domain) is either immediately recognizable or just irrelevant.
Our hiring process includes a call with an internal recruiter as the first step and it's entirely by design. The goal is to make sure that there's a good high-level fit in terms of the role, your background, and our respective expectations. But one of the big unspoken objectives for us is to assess your communication skills. Our company is forever remote, we're globally distributed, and right now over 90% of our company speaks English as a second language, so having good communication skills is absolutely critical. We also need to make sure that you can explain technical concepts to non-technical team members, people like PMs, designers, the CEO, etc. I say all this because it may seem like a waste of time, but in our case, we're collecting information on soft skills to determine if you can succeed in your role.

It all depends on the situation and context.

When I left my previous employer, I told them exactly where I was going. The mentality at the previous employer had been changing (post-takeover), and the new company was founded by, and mostly consisted of people who came from the old employer and disliked the new direction. Everybody at the new employer knew what the old employer was like. If the old boss would have made such a call as you describe, the new boss would have seen right through that.

In the case of the resignation in the link, I suspect the programmer left on amicable terms, which is also a situation where you could tell the old employer where you're going.

As a rule, you never say "never ever" :-)

That's certainly the way Fox News tries to portray secularism. In my experience, it has no basis in reality.

Is it inflation only or a catch-up adjustment phenomenon combined with a lag in production resumption?

Lots of purchases and procurement were basically delayed and postponed, thus buffered.

Inflation could explain why prices didn’t drop with the demand in the meanwhile.

Inflation is a change in the price of money relative to the prices of all goods & services in the economy, and prices are set by the market. This means a currency cannot be made by design to produce low or high inflation rates, contrary to what the article claims. Only a monetary authority with the power to change the money supply can theoretically achieve that goal.
Oh yeah I factored that in.

I think VW’s “free” offer paid for with data was a poor deal and risky.
I remember back in the early 2000s, having a QBASIC window open was enough to make most people say "you broke it". A blue screen covered in IBM VGA was firmly established as a bad sign by that point.

They don’t even really answer their own headline question. This is 99% BTC shilling and 1% economics.

I don’t like that the BTC community is back to discussing BTC as a currency. When the narrative switched to a “gold substitute,” I gave them a plausible chance. But as a currency, BTC is functionally useless, and the anti-inflation angle is simply an effort to take advantage of people who think currency should have more value than experts in macroeconomics believe.
Our own human intelligence could also seen this kind of side effect. The purpose of it being for us to be better at hunting other animals and gathering extra food. Instead, in just several hundred thousand years we’ve built a bunch of ‘buildings’ and we managed to throw the entire ecosystem out of balance.
Basically I agree: most advice for most people is going to be very similar.
However I can see added value in enhancing engagement with that advice by, for example, linking it to that person's specific behaviour.

Abstract example:
If I told you to exercise optimally, you'd snore.
If I said that having analysed your behaviour over rather last month, you'd benefit from two additional HIT sessions each week... I guess you'd care more. Even more so, if it told you it'd help you fit into your bridesmaid dress for the upcoming wedding... you see where I'm going with this.

Most advice is generic, but compliance is poor, and that gap is where more of the untapped benefit is to be found.
Exactly this. I cannot sum this up better. In NZ the police fine such people occasionally, I think there was a case when one such driver caused massive traffic jam during national holiday.
This is the most likely answer. There would have been a few other warning signs durung the due diligence but most VCs who have rejected me have used some incredibly lame excuse instead of being honest.

It wouldn't hurt them to simply say "we don't understand this and that makes us uncomfortable" instead of bullshit like "doesn't fit our investment profile" or the tech stack is wrong.

Trying to educate VCs in something out of their comfort zone is like trying to teach a pig to tapdance. Most of them I have had dealings with have such limited life experience they will never really understand agtech or biotech.

Not really related: your German word of the day is "Raubmordkopieren".

The content industry, in Germany, decided to phrase copyright violations as "Raubkopie", literally "armed robbery copy". (There are two verbs for robbery in German, "stehlen" for simple theft without force, and "rauben" for forceful theft.)

Since this is pretty obviously a far stretch (how is filesharing "by force"?), the P2P scene decided to go for the hyperbole: "mord", as you might have guessed, is murder. "Raubmord" is an established word in German ("holdup murder".) "Raubmordkopie" — you get the idea.

> The secular world is applying all sorts of demands & social pressures on you, and there's no way to oppose them, because secular ideology doesn't have an identity, an institution or value system open to attack. It's like fighting smoke or a swarm of bees.

That's because there is no such thing as "secular ideology". It's a meaningless phrase.
India has always been run on a far more authoritarian model than the U.S. Yes, it's a true democracy but freedom and democracy are not the same thing, and the legacy of the former colonizers is very much there still. Modi is just pushing the overall authoritarian stance of Indian institutions in a different direction that anyways provides him with a lot of shallow, surface popularity.
