What if you never intended to finish? What if you only do it for fun of working on something interesting? Is it then wrong to stop as soon as it stops being fun, and you face "hard" or boring problems?

Let's not pretend that everything needs to be "finished" or monetized. Let's just not kill fun by spreading pressure to "finish" or "get it done".
How about a Chromebook with a detachable screen (e.g. Lenovo Duet, Acer, or the HP X2)? These can run Android apps and thus support most digital magazine apps such as Zinio plus they often cost much less than a comparable ipad.

This is a fantastic read - well done.

I'd recommend starting with this article as it nicely lays out the motivations for Cue.
This is absolutely correct. Suspect you started with a Tabula Rasa society where everyone began with the same resources. You would still see differentiation after n generations: wealth and influence can compound over time and groups of people would gain influence, power, and money. And this is the expected outcome of a perfectly meritocratic system.
On the other hand, here in the US we throw out something like 60% of the food we produce and have an obesity problem. One could argue that we've kinda already reached post-scarcity for feeding people, yet people still go hungry.
> “It’s not like most beliefs are arrived at through some sort of pure logic. The world is not a bunch of Spocks running around deducing everything.”

But wouldn't it be so nice if it were?

We need national Spock day(s), a day where everyone play acts around being hyper logical and deduceful and analytical.

Maybe with practice, people would lean to think more.

>majority of women are not pretty

This is not true for women under 30yo. Men overwhelming rate women as attractive for the under 30yo demographic. Upwards of 80% of women are "attractive" to men. Look up the okcupid studies or others if you are really curious.
That might well be a main reason. Plus search options for HarmonyOS beyond Petal Search. But the article states the main aim IMO: "Financial backing could mean the Chinese player gains a say over the company's operations, at a time when Huawei stands accused by several governments of spying and has been pushed out of key markets."
Have you seen any studies on it being a causal relationship between the education and the income doubling? Ie i'm curious if the people who complete a graduate are also inherently more likely to have higher earnings.

I'm in full support of education, so this isn't a backhanded reason to argue against education. The disclaimer seems necessary these days :(
Had a similar experience. Was on this for a bit when I had a GP who seemed hesitant to prescribe stimulants even though I had historically taken ritalin and it was fine (all side effects were manageable).
It's what they are telling pollsters:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2021/04/05/more-th...

And the politicians in red states are conspicuously making efforts to restrict voters, in ways that they know are more likely to apply to voters who oppose them, going well beyond just voter ID:

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

So no, it's not just the OP's internalized bias. It's a simple, objective fact that they are attempting to make it harder for their opponents to win elections, based on an objectively false narrative.

I will bend over backwards to try to reach a common point from which to move forward and share a country together. I want to be aware of my own biases and the places where I disagree with the people who share some of my views. But that simply cannot happen in an environment like this, and nothing I do can change that.

It's what they are saying, in public. The large number of them saying so doesn't make it less true, only much scarier. It would seem impossible that so much of the country should be so objectively deluded, but it's literally their own words.

I suspect the latter is a minority.

Those people are, at the least, one layoff away from a reset that puts them in the former category.
Yeah, I think we agree fundamentally. My favorite version of the web is the "web of documents": URLs, hypertext, user agents, etc. I would guess that our divergence is where the web is and is going. It's hard for me to imagine we'll ever get back to that pre-JS-apps model, and if we do, I have to believe it'll be an entirely separate application stack. Like, at the bottom of it, I guess I'm just not willing to go bonkers on Google every time they try to push us further away from web of documents. It feels easier to just build a different thing at this point.

Chrome on Android doesn't support extensions at all, so that kind of invalidates that. Indeed, Chrome on Android is rather a piece of shit, so it's remarkable reading a thread by someone claiming that if only they could bring this to iOS they'd be winning.

As to WebM, zero users are missing the lack of WebM. WebM was Google trying to boot-stomp a codec that offered virtually no compelling story for their own reasons, while offering a worse experience for the vast majority of users (e.g. worse energy profile given that little hardware has full hardware support).
This is false. I was diagnosed ADHD by a psychologist twice (this is the full ADHD test where they put you through IQ and other cognitive testing). My ADHD was severe enough that I qualified for accommodations on the SATs. I was still able to get high on Vyvanse/Adderall often enough to get addicted to it. Drug companies lie to make these medications seem safer than they are.

I have rM1 and tried many things with it even wrote some software to run there. Yet the usage is rather limited so far.

This page contains a list of free software for rM on github:

https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable

And this amazing guy even made a full alternative GNU/Linux OS running on rM:

http://www.davisr.me/projects/parabola-rm/

Still I have some unresolved issues. When I say 'unresolved issues' I mean I tried a few things but didn't found something comfortable 'enough' to use. I need something that 'just works' without me dealing with it constantly.

* How would you sync notes between rM and Mac quickly?

Of course syncing through their online service/apps is out of the question due to the privacy.

* How would you sync quickly books with it?

I know you can connect it directly to a computer and use Web Interface. It's too slow and not always works. I perhaps works for one or two books but not very practicle for everyday use. Besides my new Mac doesn't come with normal usb port (thanks apple) and dealing with adapter is too much of a headake each time.

* How would you read HackerNews on rM1 comfortably?

* How would you use it as second monitor for Mac to read some web articles and work?

I know there is: https://github.com/matteodelabre/vnsee
I've managed to configure it as second screen for linux virtual machine running on Mac but this is not the same as running it as second screen to the Mac itself.

Also since my last model of macbook pro (2016) had successfully died lately due to the quality of this garbage I had to buy a M1 model. The virutal machine configured for this purpose was based on Virtual Box which is if I understand correctly doesn't work very well on M1 and so far there are no plans to make it work there. So I am still looking for good alternative option to make it run at least this way. If you have some advice I would be happy to hear.

* What is the 'safest' or 'correct' way to backup the whole rM and be sure that you can restore it without a danger to brick it completely.

* How to connect BT Keyboard and configure it properly.

* All these 'issues' basically about how to make it usable for programming.

If you have any good solutions/ideas about those issues please share.
I think sometimes it’s hard to tell whether something is interfering or not. If you’ve been squeaking by your whole life you might think this is “normal” simply because you’ve never experienced actual normal.

I go back and forth with ADHD meds. I’d say every 18 months or so I decide to take a week or two off. Sometimes that break goes on for a while because I think everything is fine and dandy. I think the longest I was off medication since starting (as an adult) was about 18 months. I can sometimes get by okay without meds, and sometimes that’s my preferred course of action, but invariably when I start taking them again I “remember” what it’s like not to have a crippling inability to do exceedingly simple tasks. And honestly, it’s kind of nice. Much less mentally exhausting.
I love solutions that are working in this area. Reminds me a bit of Codestream.

Why make the pull request such a formality? The process of writing the code, developers can have active discussions with other key members of the team from within their IDE. Those conversations are then captured as essential context to facilitate the PR review itself.

So many ways and innovative companies like Axolo which are finding ways to remove barriers to better information sharing and context.
That external need is the force that spurs on evolution lol. Literally you would not be here if not for that force.
Living in EU. Can only say, the main reason is in my perspective regulatory and taxes. Some points

- It is difficult to issue equity and get equity (tax)

- Each EU country has different taxes. You are taxed lower in Netherlands than in Germany.

- Each country has different regulation rules. If you do something exciting. Wow let's say a social network. You would be killed by regulation and data privacy rules. Autonomous driving the same. Blockchain forget it.

- Ideology driven investments. Maybe just a feeling. But nearly on each event green energy seems to be the hot topic. It is kind of political driven. Like everyone should jump on the green energy train. It is harder to get funding for more exotic topics...
I support that too, but it's yet another step as opposed to simply using a specific module to suit the data type :)

On another note, I find Dialyzer a bit slow to run even on modest codebases.
Big difference between a 5 year old $50 Android smartphone and the latest $800 iPhone. I know a lot of people who own the latter yet claim to struggle financially.
Thanks for highlighting this.

Honestly I missed this subtlety but it does make it even clearer: SCOTUS is asking the Appeals Court to revisit if bots constitute "unauthorized" use (under CFAA).

Van Buren decided that if an authorized user used a computer system for what were effectively policy violations and didn't bypass restrictions on that use then it's not "unauthorized" in the CFAA sense.

Consider a phone book (ie the white pages). It has names of individuals who haven't opted out in alphabetic order. This makes it incredibly easy to find a mapping of name -> phone number (in O(log n) technically). You could do a lookup of phone number -> name but its inefficient (O(n)) and the volume of names is so large that it's not feasible for a person to do it.

There are good reasons to prevent this reverse mapping, privacy among them.

Now imagine that phone book is online. Obviously someone could scrape this data and built that reverse index. So the website provider does things like rate-limit your queries, occasionally CAPTCHA you (FWIW) and so on.

If the LinkedIn decision stands, such impediments may be blocked by courts. That's probably not a good outcome.

Additionally, doing that lookup yourself is infeasible but totally feasible with a bunch of automated lookalikes (ie bots).

So I would say SCOTUS is hinting that the Appeals Court ruling is too broad and some limits on website access can apply.

That's my guess anyway.

>Starting conditions (where one was born, levels of wealth and opportunity there, one's parents' education and jobs) are shockingly predictive about an individual's future.

Starting conditions are a factor, but a terrible predictor. If you look at income by the quintile you are born into, it is closer to random than 1:1 predictive.

It is most true for the poor, where those born into the bottom 20% have about 45% chance of ending up in the same quintile. This means most people born into the bottom 20% improve their economic status, and most people currently in the bottom 20% started above it. On the opposite end, a majority of people born into the top 20% end up in a lower quintile. [1, table 2]

The obvious answer is that in America drugs are advertised on TV, and if you see a lot of ads for ADHD medication you might be more aware of the possibility that you have ADHD, and it could be normalised. After all the stereotype of American zombie kids on Ritalin was being bandied about 10-20 years ago? Whereas ADHD is still relatively not well known in most European countries.

The UK was the same for autism about 10-15 years ago, it was barely talked about, now every class has 10-20% children diagnosed with autism and we have autism-friendly hours in cinemas/shops etc, nobody blinks an eye if you go out wearing big headphones etc. The same may happen for adult ADHD too.
There are actual conspiracies involving small groups of people cooperating for a relatively small personal or organizational benefit in the grand scheme of things - for example see /r/actualconspiracies.

Then there are vast, globe-spanning conspiracies that involve all of the worst machinations of humanity mashed together and applied to an Other. That is the type of conspiracy theory that is governing the decision making process of a non-trivial amount of the American(and increasingly European) voting public, and that is what the problem being described in the article is.
> It's technically far inferior to anything including the ones you can self host.

This depends heavily on just what you value for determining "superior" and "inferior."

IRC takes, as a first order estimate compared to most other options, no resources.

It uses almost no RAM on the server side, almost no CPU on the server side, almost no bandwidth, and has actual native clients on just about any platform out there that also use no resources. It's trivial to host small interest-based IRC servers that people can join freely without registration.

Compared to most other platforms, which require fairly heavy servers to host (Matrix struggles with less than a gig of RAM if anyone joins large rooms) and use utterly absurd clients (hundreds of meg of download, many hundreds of meg of RAM to run), it's a nice breath of fresh air in the chat world. It's clean, simple, text based chat in a registration free form (mostly - larger networks do tend to require nickserv registrations).

If you don't care about any of that, OK, that's fine. If all you're doing is looking at the feature lists, sure, it's "inferior." But in terms of utility value on very limited resource uses (which I still care about greatly, and have done extensive work on making Raspberry Pis into quite usable little desktops), IRC still holds up amazingly well. Matrix lags on a Pi4. Discord... I'm not actually sure the client builds and the web app is heavy. IRC is light and crispy, just as it's been on everything I've used it on back down to a 486.

Also... that it's mostly an obscure backwaters means that it filters for the sort of people who like those things, which means that, especially on small little niche servers and very focused channels on larger servers, the signal to noise ratio is through the roof - there is an insane density of skilled people, far more than you'll find any other places I've looked. Having instant access to what often is quite literally hundreds of years of relevant experience in a field, at the tip of your fingers, is amazing.

It isn't enormous. Propaganda targeting civilians has one property and that is visibility. The more of it, the better. So where is it? I don't believe in ghosts.
What's the saying, "the last 20 percent takes 80 percent of the time"? That's why people don't finish. Once the fun part is over, they lose interest. The habit to develop is seeing things through that last bit of polishing.

It’s not just education, but a specific type of education. The final path to a good career is pretty winding and complicated.

As someone who had to figure it out on their own, and is now a bit older, I can say I knew basically nothing when I started choosing my career path.

I used to think that the best route was the trade schools, because you can make a lot of money fast. But then I saw a lot of my friend’s salaries peak at ~$70000, and every year their jobs got harder and harder as they got older.

Then I used to think the most successful would be my friends in the hard sciences, like physics or chemistry, because they usually were extremely intelligent. But then after their PHDs, many just seemed lost and didn’t really know what kind of jobs to go to.

Of my cohort, it seems like the only successful people were:

1. The biology people who became doctors
2. The liberal arts people who became lawyers
3. Certain engineers (not civil)
4. Techies

That’s it. The 4 good career paths available to most of my high school/college cohort.

Everything else didn’t seem to matter. The business majors, and psych majors, and sociology majors who didn’t have parents to give them cushy jobs got stuck in entry-level hell.

It's all pointless, it will win out eventually because it makes sense and Google isn't about to stop tracking you regardless of FLoC. All it does is disincentivizes smaller players from doing their own tracking which you'll have no control over anyway.

Personally I don't see depersonalized targeting as a bad thing. Better than advertising dish washers to people who just bought a dish washer or some such nonsense.
And that's relevant with customer choice because?
I disagree, starting projects that were way too big for me taught me alot about not just the language I was using to develop them, but about best practices, why it is important to have a solid ground to stand on, before adding more features that seem cool. It also taught me the importance of testing, as my projects were getting bigger, more components were interacting with each other, and manual testing soon became way too time consuming.

In short, you learn by your mistakes.

Those quotes are from Edward Bernays, considered to be the father of public relations. He ran many big public relation campaigns in the 20th century. He is responsible for millions of people who say, think and believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. He helped to popularize smoking, and promoted the idea that smoking was healthy. He often would form institutions of experts to help promote his campaigns with authority.
