> It seems like a very narcissistic hedonism.

Maybe, but I think it's more a treadmill of marketing and consuming to create the emotions that marketing promises.
All that for a dip switch that isn't normally accessible?

I talk about both, the point particular to the specific instance of the town here:

"by definition it's about the change of the overall climate where more such events may occur than normal (but they don't come wrapped with a bow and a note saying "love: climate change"). This is another piece of evidence towards that aggregate but not uniquely identifiable as only being possible because of climate change."

There is no way to say climate change caused this particular town to burn down, just that climate change has caused more towns to burn down than average.
I do not see anyone else willing to pony up the money to be a “good steward”. Who wants to take on all the responsibility and liabilities that come with hosting other people’s content?

Better solution here would be ipv6 and fiber connections to each home so people do not have to rely on uploading to one company to be able to distribute their video.

> mature attitude to suffering rather than this honestly pretty childish avoidance of negative emotions.

There's an insidious attitude that seems to be pervading modern culture where everything is about being happy and any negative feeling is wrong. You should always feel good! If you don't you have a mental health issue that needs immediate treatment.

It's stupid and unrealistic. Life sucks and then you die. Often the sucky parts create character and give you the most meaning/satisfaction. Until very recently people didn't even have the time to consider whether they felt happy, they just existed and did what was needed to continue living and moving forward with their lives.
scroll past.

just like the rest of us do.

i think complaining about posts is also against the community standards here.
Fortran has no means for preventing execution of subexpressions in a portable way. The standard allows a compiler to short-circuit .AND./.OR. and to evaluate only one of the first two arguments to a MERGE with a scalar condition, but it is not required and a programmer can’t depend on it. Rather than strengthen the guarantees of short-circuiting and non-evaluation of existing constructs (neither of which would have invalidated any portable code), the geniuses of J3 decided to add more syntax.

The emissions required to produce batteries are what puts EVs at an immediate disadvantage against ICEs the day they roll out of the factory. You then install a bunch of solar panels, which require their own batteries to store the energy that you'll use to charge your EV in the evening.

Before you proceed, please calculate how many miles you will need to drive to offset those emissions, compared to just using an ICE. You might save us all a lot of trouble.

Hi, I'm a senior lead developer and former founder with 20 years of experience with web apps and backend programming. I can create a new, scalable web app from scratch (but put a designer on the team) and get it running in the cloud, mentor junior developers, and work with higher management to figure out what direction the product should take. Don't put me in meetings for 20+ hours a week though. Can arrange for around 4 hours overlap with EST timezone. Very interested in ML, especially NLP.
I can confirm Fedora working fine with secure boot.

> I wasn't happy about it but I don't blame them.

What they did was illegal, so why not blame them? Robinhood is being investigated for it. Why not blame everyone that's guilty?

You're not going to experience the world after your death. Whether or not anyone remembers you won't make any difference, not to you, nor will anything else, because you won't exist.

It's the fate of everything to eventually be forgotten anyway. Whether by heat death or big crunch, all information that is ever created in this universe will not survive the end of the universe. Socrates, Shakespeare, and Jesus are just as insignificant meaningless specks in the grand scheme as I am. And they're just as dead as I'll be.

Just be grateful you ever existed at all. Matter banging into itself somehow clumped together in such a way that it formed memories and experiences and we all got to be a part of that. It's as close to magic as this world gets. It's temporary and it's pointless, but man, forever in the eternity of the four-dimensional firmament of spacetime is an infinitesimal slice that touches almost nothing else, but that slice is my life. Enjoy it while you can. You'll enjoy it a lot more if you're not constantly fretting about whether some other far-off corner that becomes self-aware knows about you or not.

Besides that, there is a hell of a lot of space between Shakespeare and mediocrity. I'm not saying give up and despair because nothing matters, but the fact that you won't be remembered by anyone but your family, and even they'll soon be gone, and soon all humans at all will be gone, and soon all entropy will be gone, doesn't make you mediocre.
I just feel like I'm morally obligated to chime in — you can't be told you don't exist and not feel a little weird about it =)

>this notion of happiness as a permanent state of being. I've never experienced it or seen it

Alright, so maybe your idea of what others mean by happiness is not what I'd expect. I don't think most people would define happiness as a permanent state of being.

There's a risk we'd be talking past each other a bit, so I'm going to try to define what I mean by happiness, and why I'm, so far, pretty sure that I exist!

As far as I'm concerned, "being happy" is about how your baseline level of emotion is.
When nothing in particular is happening, let's say if you lied down for a minute, are you stressed, depressed, worried, miserable, feeling like you are wasting time idling and really should be doing something else?

Unless most of your day is an emotional rollercoaster, to me a large part of the time is "baseline" like this. If nothing is acting on you, then your emotions come from within.

And I'd like to hope most people in a stable situation don't experience any of the above negative emotions for no reason, they're not actively suffering when nothing is being done to them.

But that's not what happiness is, it's just neutrality. And happiness isn't the only emotion you're allowed to feel either (that would be pretty unhealthy!). It's not a constant, or a permanent state. It doesn't mean you can't have a bad day, or that you take bad things with a smile. It means you take neutral things with a smile!

It means that when things are at baseline, you don't need to look for a reason to feel good, and redeem the fact that everything is going great and you have nothing to worry about! You don't need a reason to smile.

If what's puzzling you is the 'religious attachment' to pursing happiness, well, I don't get it either. But those articles that sell happiness methods and simple steps and lifestyle changes are clearly not meant for me. I don't feel like happiness is something you chase, or some out of reach goal that requires years of devoted training.

Somehow this seems controversial enough that I'm not comfortable admitting to happiness on my main account's post history! But I hope you can believe that I'm being sincere, and that I wish you the best.

Much love <3

It isn't though, the primary reason for your unhappiness is not "I can only read 5 pages a night", if you were so busy with other things you love and you also managed to read 5 pages per night as well, you could be very happy. It isn't the page count, it's the mental story.
Just the opposite.

The cop has no clue whether or not the person is actually filming or not, no clue what the person intends to do with the video or audio, and most importantly - has no involvement or control in either the recording, editing, licensing or distribution of the material.

There's no way in high heaven that someone's going to be construed to be in violation of the 'distribution' artifact of copyright law if they have no participation or really even awareness of the distribution itself.

This thread is full of absurd arguments.
I trade at the risk of lower overall returns for the chance of very high returns.

Index funds are for my retirement account, it's fun to have a brokerage account and trade with it as a hobby. It's been very profitable so far but I don't expect that to continue.

I'd imagine day trading has a much higher return than buying lottery tickets or gambling at a casino for example.
Lots of ways to value a company. Once you have the value of the entire company, the price per share just depends on the number of shares. Options are then calculated based on a formula using the price per share as one input.

You can value a company by comparing it to its peers (this is like company Y which has similar users, growth potential etc)

You can value a company by only caring about its assets and liabilities.

Private shares of a company can exist and be traded, another market based valuation just with fewer data points that are private and not publicly shared.

And plenty more ways. Finance is really all about answering this question, how much is something worth and then creating mechanisms to trade that value in different ways.
You didn't "order" it. You backed a Kickstarter which has a reward that has no guarantee of shipping.

What the Error Handling Project Group Is Working Towards
The 'new' science they refer to (the actual premise of the article) is in this paragraph:

> But according to the latest research, the human body probably works the other way around, Seth says. "The brain registers a grizzly bear, and that perception sets in train all the physiological responses." You get an adrenaline rush. Your heart rate goes up. You start breathing faster. Blood rushes to your muscles. And then the emotion comes.

However the idea is not so new:

> The James–Lange theory is a hypothesis on the origin and nature of emotions and is one of the earliest theories of emotion within modern psychology. [..] The basic premise of the theory is that physiological arousal instigates the experience of emotion.

Carvana apparently uses WORM drives
I was in a wreck recently, so forced to buy a car. I found one at a local dealership, had a test drive scheduled, but the car sold that night.

So I tried Carvana. I found a car, their site said I would have to e-sign documents, so I called and said I will e-sign if it's not a 3rd-party that stores signatures, such as DocuSign. They said it's done on their site.

I find a car, get the loan, Carvana "verifies" the funds (I use quotes because I gave them the phone number of my loan officer, which could easily have been just my neighbor), the loan is setup, and the delivery date is set.

When I try to e-sign, guess who shows up? DocuFuckingSign. Nope, not doing that. I call again. The agent assures me that it's no problem, they will print the documents and I can sign when the car is delivered.

5 minutes after the car is supposed to be delivered (the driver has already called to confirm the time), someone calls to say I have to e-sign first. I go through the whole thing with her, only she is adamant that I have to e-sign with DocuFuckingSign. I explain what 3 different reps told me and she says "Sorry about that, but you have to". So a $30K deal gets canceled and I have to go car shopping again.

I find a similar car at another dealer, arrange the purchase, and go to Carvana to get my personal info removed. They have my name, address, email address, birthday, driver's license front and back images, and probably my shoe size. The online chat rep says I have to call to do that. The phone rep says she has to check with someone on how to do that, then comes back and gives me a spiel about how careful Carvana is with information and how seriously they take privacy, blah, blah, blah. I'm just waiting for it: "Unfortunately, we have no way to delete your information."

I am so pissed. This is completely unacceptable, especially considering the sensitive nature of the information they collect and the fact I didn't even do a transaction with them.
For my personal laptop, I still use a 1st Gen Thinkpad X1 from 2011, running Linux and it's going strong.

Think the fan power management is the only downfall for these devices, mine either runs way too hot or at full blast (which was a turbo mode) back when there was still support for the drivers (some old windows version think 7).
It should say: "are not willing to pay extra". My guess is that most people already pay an awful lot in taxes, so they would be more willing for some of those taxes they already pay be shifted to climate change initiatives.
Everyone has to walk on eggshells around anything that might affect the Google search deal, but that's mostly it. If anything the Google money is resented, even though it also funds everything.

IMHO leadership always lacked imagination around Firefox, and never had the fortitude to back any alternate investment enough for it to succeed.

Interesting idea. We generally just say "unit" if necessary.

>In 2004, a report to the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) stated that response to the proposal of the uno "had been almost entirely negative", and the principal proponent "recommended dropping the idea".[15] To date, the uno has not been adopted by any standards organization, and it appears unlikely that it will ever become an officially sanctioned way to express low-value (high-ratio) dimensionless quantities. The proposal was instructive, however, as to the perceived shortcomings of the current options for denoting dimensionless quantities.
> The point of the study is NOT to make assumptions like this. There are studies hinting that a large percentage of the population may be immune to COVID because of previous infection with unrelated coronaviruses. T

Untrue

> Nor does it address the decrease in lifespan from dosing 100% of the population with pathogenic spike proteins from the original Wuhan strain from the injections

There is no reason to believe there is any effect beyond a microscopic percentage with bad reactions initially.

>versus letting the virus naturally become less lethal and more contagious.

We have no reason to believe that this is certain or even likely to happen in the near term. For example the Delta variant isn't less deadly even though it is more contagious.

You can argue that virus may tend to over time adapt to their environment and it can be true in aggregate over time but that doesn't mean this particular virus wont be killing just as many people 10 years from now.

> What that indicates is that we are epically overreacting.

Tell that to all the dead people in the US. I think we are done here.

Yes that’s essentially it. We calculate your target/ideal breathing rate and then have breathing guides during the session for you to follow. Then you’re able to see your heart rate graph in realtime and understand how it changes with your breathing.
The number 1 isn't the SI unit for dimensionless constants. The SI unit for dimensionless constants is 602214076000000000000000.

No, "amount of something" or "number of atoms" is not a different unit than dimensionless constants; that would be like if the SI unit had "the amount of charge held by 10^30 electrons" as a different unit than "charge".
Even for our company, we would fork over the $600 but it looks like all of the EV cert options require a hardware signing key. Putting a human in the loop for our otherwise fully automated release process is a non-starter.
