So I should be fully leveraged to the point where not getting rent will cause me to default immediately. This is a frustrating thing as someone who saves and has a safety net and other fallbacks in place. The current economy continues to reward taking on as much debt as possible (stocks only go up, houses only go up, past due rents covered, etc.) and punish ever having cash in reserve.
The author is talking about how a given physics model appears simple when they are presented with it, e.g. a particular quantum field theory. This is the kind of limited perspective about research that an undergraduate physicist may develop simply by solving the hand crafted problems that are presented to them.

However, the true difficulty in physics is arriving at that model in the first place. Decades of work offered up against experiment, the associated conceptual leaps in understanding required to get to e.g. a quantum field theory which succesfully predicts things are nothing short of a monumental achievement. To say that physics is simple is ludicrous.

I don't even think we know with regards to any substance, i.e even why SSRI work - I think we have some good hypothesis, but nothing conclusive. I've even seen an ad on CNN for tardive dyskinesia that says 'the <drug> is thought to do something to dopamine' - Doesn't exactly inspire confidence but having suffered from mental conditions, I'd still be willing to try it.
Can you elaborate on what type of devtool you built?

I'm founder of a startup that develops DevOps tooling and we're debating how early to build out the ui. (We have the basics down with Vue like I mentioned.)
I don't think this is anything new for society. Companies have always fired people for going against the company too much or in the wrong way.
I don't think every single regularization method in the cocktail can be applied to non-neural-network methods, but I'm pretty sure some of them can, like data augmentation. The authors could have figured out which methods can be applied to non-NN models or considered if equivalent/analogous methods exist. I agree it would make a fairer comparison.

If you're looking for good climbing autobiographies, try Tommy Caldwell's "Push" or Dierdre Wolownick's "The Sharp End of Life." Caldwell's book is well-written and shows deep insight, perhaps due to the severe hardship he experienced. If you liked "The Dawn Wall" (one of my favorite films), you'll like the book.

Wolownick's book might be my favorite climbing memoir. Wolownick is Alex Honnold's mother, but she's not cashing in on his success; this is her own story about finally embracing her own life after years of self-sacrifice in an unhappy marriage. She is a writer first and foremost, and she tells a beautiful story about life. The climbing scenes are gripping and relatable because she is such an ordinary person--which makes her accomplishments all the more extraordinary.
according to where? I can't find a single place that says less than 65.6% you think the huge increase of housing demand/sales is going to decrease homeownership rates? that demand is why prices are absurd right now.

It's longtail-ish but there could be a number of other reasons why you might not be able to rent out a property for many many months.
This is because the Spectre/Meltdown can't be patched with microcode updates, the mitigations instead use different kernel mechanisms (KPTI for Meltdown, retpolines for Spectre). If the guest kernel for your VM is using these mitigations it will be protected even if the host has mitigations disabled.
how do those kind of non-optimal zoning laws get on the books?
That risk has always been 90 days maximum loss of rent, by law in some places, so you could understand landlords calculating that happening maybe once every 5 years or so. And they could be careful in selecting tenants, so they had a way to mitigate the risk.

In this case, however, the law was changed retroactively to an open-ended, tenant-gets-to-live-in-your-house-for-free. Hard to see how landlords should have factored the likelihood of that in.

For iPhone users this gradual alarm can be setup natively with the Clock/Alarm app. I now use it instead of Sleepcycle.
That's great until the economy changes and you have to start competing again.

I had a slack job for my mid career when I should have been busting my ass and positioning myself for my later career. I wasted tons of time and regret it. You may have ADHD. You may just be lacking self discipline. I don't know. You should get your shit together now when you have the option and not wait for life circumstances to demand it.

It's not about what you owe the company. It's about what you owe yourself.
For what it’s worth, “radical honesty” does exactly that. Best done with the consent of those you’re being radically honest with, because without that one definitely comes across as a dick.

Reliability? It isn't a car, it doesn't wear out.

TBF it's a terrible title and the overview isn't exactly enticing in it's implication:

I'm not saying that's what the article is actually about but that's what I read from it and it's crass enough that I didn't read further.
> Don't consider it a backup until you've successfully restored the data from it.

Ouch! I back up every 2 hours - should I REALLY restore from each of those?
That's a completely different discussion whether the strategy was the right strategy in the first place, and unrelated to my argument.

What I'm saying is that given the current situation, player A (OP) loses nothing while player B (the vaccinated) gains something (also called a Pareto improvement). It is not rational for player A to oppose this new situation where B gains something.
So, obviously not how natural selection works. You'd have to be more likely to die without having kids due to lack of religion for that to make sense.

Religion is not key.

Without it, people don't become alone/depressed/etc.

The offspring thing is that wealthy people/nations/communities tend to have less kids since its more expensive per kid and seen as more burdensome to their lives.
My preference is the Haydock commentary. It would be great if I could get that next to the Douay Rheims. I’ll give this a shot.
It's considered bad taste to criticise other countries for that which your home country is.
Or: don’t have QA at all and make sure devs speak to the user

The point is, web is everywhere and nobody has to explicitly install anything to use a website - especially important for the less techy people that have no clue about "6 MMU wait states". So the browser is absolutely the right platform to build a (rich) text editor e.g. as a component of a web app. Is it an easy task? No, not really. We still have a half dead IE, Safari and the other browsers are far from perfect. Is that efficient? No. There is a ton of cruft and perhaps the best thing is to draw into a canvas and just not use most of it all (for better performance in the end). So you are basically pushing pixels from JavaScript (ok, or WebAssembly) in the end, if you want the best performance. Then you reimplement all the work that was already done at least 3 times before by OS, Browser and some library/ toolkit/ framework authors. You have to reimplement e.g translation using your own dictionaries, because you cannot easily work with the translator of the browser or the operating system (that's why browsers bring their own). You write a least a slightly different CSS for every browser family. You handle stuff like Content Security Policy differently. This is like every second thing, that you have to reimplement or make platform specific adjustments to make it work somewhat well. That's totally insane. In all this, absolute performance is just really hard to achieve. Do you expect people to ship apps for like 5 different platforms using perhaps 4 considerably different tech stacks or using 1 but then still adjusting for each platform again/ hacking it to look native and not get banned by an app store?

The problem is, people don't take responsibility for their work and almost nobody simplifies stuff. Stuff just somehow works but most of it just isn't solid or it isn't compatible or it is extremely (over)complicated. The next guy using it as a dependency has all these problems on top of the problems of his or her own with the problem at hand. This tree is multiple levels deep. Your pyramid is built on stuff that hundreds of smart engineers basically overlooked/ ignored for decades. Meltdown and friends is just one example, there are HW bugs, there are management engines, there is the OS, the libraries, other software/ daemons/ services, bad APIs, old APIs, deprecated APIs, functionality split between old and new API, bug ridden runtime, inconsistent behaviours of a markup language processing and styling implementation etc. pp.

We all need to get our act together and the harsh reality is, most of us just don't know everything and there isn't time to know everything. We need basic stuff to really just work and be as simple as possible given the problem domain, else we will not progress without gigantic investments.
work from home has been great for me in that I can compress work into non 9-5 bursts.

instead of slacking trough 8hours per day with an effective 2-3 hours of work for 5 days I take the 1 day(and/or night) were I work full concentration until exhausted (with small breaks) and take next day "off" (I'm connected still reachable in communication tools) to do personal stuff, side projects, watch TV, exercise, or just chores.

My overall productivity and mood are much better than when I was working from the office, but I'm afraid it's soon coming to an end unless I find a new job that's Ok with being remote.
Estimating hours for a project is essentially project based billing, it is just more granular.

I don’t think the developers who only work 3 hours a day when they are employed full time are being amoral. If they can do it, more power to them.

I often work 6-8hrs a day with meetings taking 40% of my time. During crunch, I work far more. I don’t think there is anything amoral when the system doesn’t work for me either.
Was I wrong to rely on the system to prevent my view from having an outsized or misrepresented amount of control here? I figured my vote, along with many others, would decide the fate of the submission, ultimately moderated by you.

I can adjust my behavior if this wasn't the right way to think about it, but I just want to make sure I'm acting as intended with this point of view.
This might fit with point 6, which I think is about selecting leisure activities that refresh instead of just kill time.
What percentage of the media do you think engages in this "wokeness" propaganda? It is certainly nowhere even close to 90%.
Not anyone, you have to get vouched by someone who can publish there. Look at viXra for an example of a preprint server truly anyone can submit to.

It's not the current home ownership I am concerned with, it's home ownership in 20 years. I think the the current home owners road in on the tail of the boom.
>>I could probably best describe it as non-malicious unintentional callous disregard, coupled with a belief that I'd mostly figured everything out - and a deep-seated need to always be "right" and "win".

Sounds like well-earned confidence with a bit self-possessiveness . But on the whole that's not unusual or something that should be frowned upon.

>>I had not yet learned that at the point where there is an argument, both people have already lost.

I used to think like that and all that resulted was having my concerns paid lip service to if not outright dismissed, being blamed when something didn't go someone's way despite not being given clear instruction, being guilted into keeping the peace at the expense of my sense of self, etc. Being useful meant becoming easy to take for granted. Anything less was regarded as "not doing my best", "defiance", "rebellion", and "causing trouble".
Polite logical debate and asking the hard questions (when I eventually got to that stage) were met with evasion and scorn in addition to rampant hypocrisy and double standards. At the end of it all, arguing was the only way to truly know where I stand in the world and on what terms or, at the very least, led me to learn how to salvage myself and cut my losses (too late in my opinion, but better late than never). If I had been more willing to be upfront with my disregard for certain ideas, more willing to leverage "No" or "I don't care" without fear of reprisal (real or perceived), then I probably would have been in a better position to know in advance which arguments are worth it and which ones would be pointless time wasters. But I know first-hand that if you don't make yourself or your desired way of life a priority to be defended by whatever means you can muster, no one will. And you will suffer for it.
Wow. I don't usually go for snarky remarks like this, but you hit the nail on the head. It could be that he just realized he won't die a timeless author and curiously a Nobel most probably won't save him. A lot of past literature Nobel laureates are quite obscure and as it turns out - not that good after all.

In my personal opinion he's fairly strong at driving a narrative, but I never get to what end. Like a painter that works extremely hard at a masterpiece to finally pour some gasoline and set it on fire. Compared to an all star like Tolstoy for example he's just not cutting it even a bit.
> "Going slow* is using resources. Clock cycles are a resource.

This is not true for terminals, nor in general. You can, and terminals do, go slow without consuming more clock cycles. Latency in terminal rendering, not throughput, is the main reason for them feeling slow. In other words, delays in the system are the bottleneck, not compute.

> People are complaining about applications that do take up a significant amount of memory and cause you to run out.

People are complaining about memory usage without understanding why it's used or what it's being used for. Nobody yet has complained about running out of memory, I haven't seen any relevant discussion about virtual memory, memory compression, nor about what browsers actually do when they run low on memory. Turns out, surprise!, browsers can fit many more tabs than you think if you had blindly assumed that the amount of memory your process manager reports will scale linearly until you run out... that's not how it works.
Most risk is covered by lease terms. Failing that, there's eviction... until the government intervened and changed the fundamental contract.

And, no, no one is going to buy your house if it has non-paying tenants that can't be evicted. They would just be inheriting your problem due to tenant's rights.
I feel like a lot of this article really should be about how bad tarsnap is. Defaults to no progress updates, has no builtin multithreading, has failures around large files, can't backup sym links properly, no builtin way to detect an in progress restore so you have to manually tell it to resume, etc.

If tarsnap didn't have a bad UX, this entire article would have instead been 'the time I forgot to backup my .env file', none of the other issues would have occurred.
Titles like this in the media are harmful.

A title such as "Americans Are Pretty Skeptical That Hard Work Will Pay Off" implies ALL Americans.

A title such as "Some Americans Are Pretty Skeptical That Hard Work Will Pay Off" is more accurate, as the article states "74% of those surveyed" and I don't know the audience for sure.

We need to stop making blanket statements like this and be more factual.

Does avoiding 4chan also count as self censorship?
Part of it is being scared. But in the world of 24/7 surveillance I think it's more that anything you say can haunt you for the rest of your life. It's not OK to make mistakes or slip up because it's captured and stored forever. People aren't allowed to debate, learn, and change.
I don't know why people are saying the article uses a morally neutral definition of propaganda. It starts with saying "Propaganda is information (delivered through any medium) designed to persuade, manipulate emotion, and change opinion rather than to inform using logical truths and facts. The aim of propaganda is to change minds via the use of emotion, misinformation, disinformation, truths, half-truths, and cleverly selected facts; not to enlighten (although one can technically propagandize true information, using emotion to sell truth, this generally isn’t what we are talking about when we use the term “propaganda”)".

The article's core purpose is to describe manipulative and insincere propaganda strategies so that the reader learns defenses against these strategies. This is very much in line with the negative definition of propaganda, and not just the very general "propagate information" definition.

This is pretty rich. I'd argue the worst kind of censorship is getting murdered/disappeared by a totalitarian government for speaking out against them. Kind of like what happens to critics of Putin, Snowden's current patron. But hey, I guess getting some mean tweets directed at you is pretty bad too.

Anyone appreciate the irony that Snowden's posts are probably monitored/vetted by the KGB?
Yes, that's true; like you say, no one even quite knows how SSRIs work, so this looks promising! Hopefully future studies show similar effects without some of the SSRI side effects
I'm not sure I buy into it - I don't think it's necessary that even simple use cases need to be complicated in order for the whole to be flexible.

The simple use cases should just be plug and play. If you want a different solution: here are the tools, here is the documentation, have fun.
A bank account balance is representative value of dollars that bank owes you. If someone tries to steal it by pretending to be you even if they just steal your PIN, they are committing fraud.

If someone steals a private key by committing another crime like stealing a laptop, that is a crime because you own the laptop. If they learn of your private key without committing a crime, that is not theft.

You don't own 'space on the blockchain.' I have no idea what that even means.

You do need to understand elliptic curve cryptography to have confidence (not faith) in bitcoin because you make the transactions in bitcoin. You are responsible, not some third party. People understand the dollar because it is physical and you can get them on demand and they originally got their value from Gold, not some abstraction like proof of spent energy one time awhile back.
As you mention, most SSRI ads specifically note that it is thought to work by inhibiting serotonin reuptake...maybe. There isn't even strong proof that serotonin plays the part popularly believed.

But SSRIs work for many people, and do seem to have an effect, so the theoretical is good enough for now.
I wasn’t arguing for these companies having to change. In fact, I am glad it suits the life of people who enjoy that lifestyle. I was arguing that whatever imbalance will fix itself.

Extraordinary generalizations require extraordinary evidence.
Einstein spent the better part of three years wandering around the Princeton campus before he presented his theory on relativity. During that time he was mocked by his peers for not "working hard". In retrospect, Einstein noted the time he spent ambling the campus allowed him the space required to finish his postulation.

If "the poor" move to less dense areas then who will wait your tables, pick up your garbage, clean your offices, cook your food, check out your groceries, etc? Saying "just don't live here" is one of the most ignorant responses that always arises in these types of conversations.

"The vaunted American dream, the idea that life will get better, that progress is inevitable if we obey the rules and work hard, that material prosperity is assured, has been replaced by a hard and bitter truth. The American dream, we now know, is a lie. We will all be sacrificed. The virus of corporate abuse – the perverted belief that only corporate profit matters – has spread to outsource our jobs, cut the budgets of our schools, close our libraries, and plague our communities with foreclosures and unemployment." - Chris Hedges

I think part of the disillusionment is because Americans have been ingrained belief in free will, a statement often used by the rich to justify inequality, despite plenty of evidence supporting the contrary.

You are missing the point the article. Author is not trying to argue that AI is 'harder' than physics, like a freshman cs major might argue with their physics friends.

Why does every discussion about Bitcoin's environmental impact reduce to "it uses a lot of electricity therefore it should be stopped".

We're not going to shut down entire sectors of the economy because of their environmental impact. People are going to innovate and invest in alternative sources of energy because it is becoming profitable to do so. The solution is hardly ever "just stop doing it", it's "how can we do this better".
