Back to the simulation idea, if we are in a simulation, which makes sense. Everything we do is controlled, maybe not controlled but calculated.

For instance, I'm currently listening to The Social Network by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Why did I choose this, it gets me in the mood, it makes me feel something, I'm controlled by it. Music is an extension of us. It like other inputs in life has a say in who we are. We feel it and need it, we are it. People create music to evoke a response, surely that's why the most powerful songs are love songs, the emotion we can't always quantify...

If we are in a simulation are we meant to understand everything? Surely not. Then the simulation would be over. We could surmise the end and then what would be the point.

If the universe we live in was created by a single explosion, then technically we are in a simulation, we are the effects of that bang. We are energy seekers and movers. We are a part in the cog turning to no end.

The point of life, there is no point. We exist and then we don't. I think that's fine. Should we expect more?

I mean, the definition of life is different to so many people. The western world is seeking status and a monk is seeking enlightenment. Who is right and who is wrong, it's in the eye of the beholder. Life is what we decide it to be or do we...

We are the sum of our pasts, we are the sum of our choices, we are the sum of the equation that is life.

Every step is adding to the formula we set out and was set out for us.

We are given the chance to exist and guided by those who have learned what "is best", or merely the sum of their learnings and opportunities.

I feel like my calling is to think and if this made you think then maybe that calling is correct. If you agree or disagree that calling is correct.

> I would not consider electricians as an example of poor people

Exactly.

> not anyone can be an electrician

Who can't?

> It takes training and licensing

So?

By the way, just googled, entry level electrician apprentice with zero experience (you are required to do that for some time to get your license) gets about $30K. That's not a lot, but that you can do with almost zero training, and it in several years it is significantly more.

> and many people can't jump those hurdles.

Maybe they can be paintworkers then. 38K of income is not as lavish as the life of electrician, but that's should be good enough who cannot get an electrician license.

> Not to mention the fact that if everyone became an electrician, very few of them would get any work

Truck driver, nurse, carpenter, crane operator, plumber, car mechanic, firefighter and so on. There's a lot of thing you can do with little or no investment.
Reminds me of a Coding Horror (?) story where a client kept asking the developer to have their app window be on top (most visible.) Poor developer kept trying to explain that whatever method they used to be on top, anyone else could use to be also on top of their app.

Anyways, there is no general heuristic to distinguish a good actor trying to prove their legitimacy from a bad actor trying to fake legitimacy. This is the essence of parasitism.

>Yes, I'm quite certain there would have been plenty of people who would have seen the value of cellphones and the internet at the time.

And there would have been social media junkies and helicopter parents using it to make their lives worse, too. I doubt it would have been used significantly differently back then.

>But even if one dismisses the value of access to media to quality of life, the degree to which online services (any service, including streaming media) democratize that access compared to the limitations of physical media and gatekept broadcasts

I wasn't alive for the introduction of VHS, but was for the shift from tape to DVD to torrents to Netflix. The amount of media consumed increased dramatically one physical media died, and even that small amount of exercise and social interaction walking around blockbuster and thanking the guy behind the counter has been squeezed out in the name of efficient distribution.

>That seems like an objective improvement to quality of life in the same way that the printing press, internal combustion engine and indoor toilets were.

I doubt all fortune 500 companies would just accept losing access to the markets of 130 countries, so I'm guessing you're talking about tariffs rather than sanctions (which imply a total ban). In that case it would depend on how punitive the tariffs are. If they're not punitive enough then you're right, companies might just deal with the tariffs in which case the corporate tax gets turned into a tax (assuming mot of the countries are in on it. If it's punitive enough (ie. it's better to pay the local corporate tax than to pay the tariffs) then you'd expect competitors to break ranks to gain a competitive advantage.

> Finally, the GameStop fiasco was unforgivable and only a naive fool would accept the explanation given. Citadel is the MAJORITY of Robinhood revenue and was opposite that trade.

Only someone who doesn't understand how any of this works would believe these absurd conspiracy theories.

1) Citadel is one of FIVE of wholesale market markets RH use. Even if they did refuse to accept orders for GME, why wouldn't their four main competitors not happily accept them if it meant blowing up the biggest player in the field? They have no incentive to help Citadel. In fact, they have a clear financial incentive to do the opposite.

2) Why would RH care if Citadel went away? Citadel is one of their five 'suppliers' if you will. If Citadel disappeared overnight, RH would just route their order to the others. It makes absolutely no difference to them. They just route to whoever currently pays the most for orderflow.

3) RH customers are extremely small players with next to no capital between them. Cutting them off makes no difference, because it was professionals with real money driving the squeeze at that point. They recognised that they could make a ton of money, and put a bunch of competitors out of business in the process, so they kept hammering the stock.

4) The claim that Citadel itself even had a GME short position (beyond their MM inventory) is baseless. Citadel Advisor's previous 13F filing shows that they were outright LONG GME stock, were LONG GME calls, and were LONG GME puts. So while those puts will have lost money, the other two positions will have GAINED MASSIVELY during the squeeze. Their short exposure was mainly via the money that they lent to Melvin Cap during the squeeze.

Nope not in the US. They're getting increasingly popular but I'd still say 70% to 80% of gas pumps don't support them.
That's my experience as well. I think that after enough people install something, Microsoft starts trusting it, so it's usually fine for a major release of a popular package. Nightly builds of less popular packages? I always get the popups. (Although oddly, not on any of my projects that I release Windows binaries for...)
Back in the 1990s, they literally flew these on private planes. It was worth it to get a billion dollars in checks to the other end a day sooner, thereby saving one day's interest on a billion dollars. I talked to a pilot who flew those flights.

There were undoubtedly a number of others which could be switched between frequencies in other ways, like with a pushbutton.
There can be other system operation concerns such as stability and spinning reserve. If the intertie to France is lost and 3GW of nuclear power disappears and you are left with 100% wind then the severed system probably will be out of balance without something ready to go that can quickly.

Also yes stopping and starting the machines are often when things go wrong. Things that are stopped tend to stay stopped and things that are running tend to stay running. Keeping a machine hot and spinning avoids thermal cycles and issues with stopping and starting oil pumps, brakes, bearings, etc that can occur.
...I'm providing a counter point to your claim that income hasn't gone down.

This seems to be just the mechanics needed for source code manipulation in Elixar, which is fine as far as it goes. But what I would be really interested in would be a description of design principles, system structures and etc for self-modifying programs/systems.
Worse still, the SafeNet software that my cert vendor recommends using (to interact with the hardware key) doesn't even allow use of Remote Desktop sessions!

It somehow detects if you're in an RDP session, and shows that there are no hardware tokens attached if that's the case. No message or warning whatsoever. My only Windows PC is headless and I lost several hours trying to debug this.

The entire EV cert process is such an outrage. My cert vendor advertised that the validation process would take 2-3 business days if all docs were in order, DUNS info correct, etc. I spent a lot of time ahead of the order ensuring the docs were indeed in order, and the process still inexplicably took 9 business days.

> Normal speed is closer to 110.

Average, you might be right. Many people definitely drive a lot faster (I guess that's where the sibling comments "do you drive in germany" come from), but then they get stuck behind an overtaking truck etc., and then there are people driving slower so the average speed across all lanes might very well be 110 at busy times (and of course you're most likely to drive when it's busy, so that's what you'd observe).

The problem (emissions) might be from accelerating up to 150, then back down because someone driving 120 is overtaking someone else, the person behind you also has to brake, and repeat.

I've never ordered from them, because I really, really do not like pouch cells (pouch LiCoO2 is terrifying). I've done a lot of work with lithium packs, mostly 18650s, and was the sole supplier of rebuilt BionX ebike battery packs in North America for a few years until some other people got their rears in gear and undercut me (I was so tired of building packs by the end...).

But I shipped ground. Period. The hazmat requirements for 300+Wh packs were pretty stiff, and I met them. The UPS guy out here knew me as "the battery guy," and I had to explain to any sub on the route that, yes, this was legit, yes, I have all the paperwork right there, yes, I'm registered... look, just call base, ask about "the battery guy," they'll know who it is.

And since I shipped a lot to Canada, I filled out my customs forms properly, with actual value. I had a few people ask me about some "creative valuation," and... nope. Not going to screw around when sending hazmat internationally.

I got out of it partly because people undercut me, partly because the requirements for shipping lithium were getting ever more strict. I'll do stuff locally now, but I deliberately didn't renew my hazmat shipping training.

In my experience, people have quite some trouble with basis points ("The fund charges just 5 bp per year", which means 0.05% per year), but I doubt that "The fund charges 0.5 mU (or 500 µU) per year" will help much. It does have a certain elegance, though.

In my experience, youtube recommendations are stellar for educational and long form content, so i would absolutely recommend looking at them if that is your focus. I've discovered a lot of cool channels this way.
Imagine someone wanted to open a new service for let’s say video hosting and is doing so for political reasons (e.g. the creators feel that YouTube is banning/“deboosting” anyone posting Islamic content). The operators would be well served to manually verify new accounts when starting that service to keep things such as anti-Islamic material, child sexual abuse material, other illegal content, etc. off the service until they have a scalable and automatic moderation solution which has been battle-tested. I think most people would agree that simply putting up a new service like that with no guardrails will go badly.
Therefore, please keep in mind that Parler was a new entry into the social media scene and lacked the opportunity to develop robust community content/sentiment controls over the course of a decade such as Facebook and twitter. The generally stated purpose of Parler was to provide a safe space for individuals who were banned from Twitter or Facebook for what Parler operators would consider political reasons. Parler certainly does not want (in the long term) individuals removed due to highly incivil or illegal behavior (from Parler’s perspective). Requiring a manual verification before the account begins algorithmic “boosting” is reasonable in this situation, at least to me, until Parler can develop better automatic/scaling moderation tools.

> Several buildings collapsed in NY in 2019-20 but there was no super-surge of reporting.

The contention in the article is that Florida's economy is something of a real-estate marketing not-quite-Ponzi scheme centered around selling condos with a carefree lifestyle image, and that this directly impacts that.

While New York real estate is a big deal, I don’t think anyone had any serious argument that those that collapsed (which, unless I’m missing something, were partial collapses of smaller buildings affecting far fewer people than this one collapse, in total) were adversely linked to the core engine of the state or city economy.

> Partisan media is quite extraordinary to watch.

So are partisan efforts to paint unequal treatment of unlike things as partisan.
As someone interested in doing this, does this include installation cost or are you doing it yourself? What percentage of the cost is installation?

Also what capacity does it provide for air conditioning? I don't use air conditioning all that much but I would like the option and I know you have to plan your install for peak usage and not general usage, and you can mitigate that with batteries but that cost has diminishing returns.
