Like you said, it can probably console people that believe in that sort of stuff and probably is meant like that but you gotta be careful with it if you ask me. I can easily be damaging.

If you think about it, the bible and other books/religions were created in really hard and tough times and the belief that somehow in some way "it was meant to be and there's a reason behind this terrible thing happening" was helping them through it. This is all in times in which less was known about how the world around us works (and even nowadays we don't really know but our models are much much better - just think of how medicine knows about bacteria causing illnesses and such vs. the whole Yellow Bile, Black Bile, Phlegm and Blood thing - Hippocrates ~460BC-~370BC).

A merchant in the 1300s coming home to find all of his family had died from the plague might find solace in thinking that all of this happened for a reason if he is a very devout believer in such things. I can't personally fathom how you'd find someone today that would see meaning in having a family member getting infected with Yersinia Pestis, nevermind die from it, but that's just me.

So as you can see, personally I absolutely don't believe in the whole reason and other religious stuff but I can see and appreciate how religion can help stabilize society and keep the population under control in tough times, how it can be a moral compass etc. I don't personally need the rest of it all to know that I shouldn't just go about killing other people. And if something bad happens in the world then - from my relatively safe western vantage point - I can just see that the world is still an ugly place and that there are bad people that just do bad things or that are living in bad enough situations that make them do those things (hey, until we're in those situations ourselves, we don't really know what we'd actually do, best intentions not to or not!) and all I can do is to try as best as I can to avoid those people amd situations altogether. There's not much more to it and I don't need to imagine a devil or some other stuff to explain this somehow.
Everything you say is correct. And yet there are still reasons to use round knob door handles at least some of the time.
I have zero experience on how big a deal this really is but someone seems to think so: https://www.doorstuff.co.uk/blog/canadian-bears-vs-door-hand...
My understanding is that it's pretty common on the US coasts (i.e. the major metros where housing is super unaffordable).

I imagine it's a self feeding cycle. Young adults can't purchase homes, so their parents cosign and give a big down payment. Then sellers are able to ask more because wealthy parents are backing the sale, which just makes housing even more unaffordable.
Seems like merchandizing with posters, t-shirts, and action figures would be the quicker, easier, least risky way to do this.

Video games (which compete both in IP _and_ gameplay) seems like a much riskier proposition, relatively speaking.

Even so, the safety net can be useful. I have a friend who knows his parents have >1m available, and he knows that given their spending patterns, the returns on investments and actuarial tables, it's likely a $2m windfall will come his way within the next 20 years.

That allows a wildly different lifestyle. He can spend 100% of what he earns, and still

- retire early
- buy a large home
- send his kids to uni
- enjoy quality of life of the top 15%

Not having to buy a home, invest in stocks, reserve money for retirement, savings etc, is a big deal. Meanwhile other friends who have no such parents are more stuck in the rat race and will likely work till an old age retirement, not have a big home, will struggle with kids' education blablabla.

The other thing is that if he fucks up, his parents will help him out. This is one of the reasons I think that he started his own business and continued through years of no-income, whereas others had no such luxury to fail for a few years. e.g. there's plenty of people who, if they had not climbed the corporate ladder the past few years, would permanently be locked out of the housing market. He has no such problem, as if shit really hits the fan there's always a safety net. Your parents might be reserved, but unless they're quite unique, they'll definitely step in if you really fall.

Lastly, don't think it applies to you but I find as kids get older and the 'house' discussion comes up, suddenly rich parents step-in in ways they wouldn't have before (e.g. to fund a fun lifestyle). I've seen this housing-purchase support so often and it can't be overstated how much of a leg up this can be. And even if no support is given, inheritance of rich parents typically covers the mortgage and then some mid-life.

Don't mean to make it too personal and dump a lot of 'you're actually privileged' on you, I don't know you so I really can't say, every family is different. But on a more general note, having rich parents is definitely useful even if there's not been much financial help so far.

I could see that. The reason I think it could be more extreme is the AppStore. I don’t have stats to back this up, but I would assume they make far more money from the iOS/iPadOs AppStore than Mac AppStore. It never truly caught on with the Mac, likely due to the long history of loading your own apps. Apple would love nothing more than to break this cycle.

Opposition to _coerced COVID vaccination_, whether through law or through imposed burdens on those that don't, isn't antivax. Not even close. Speaking of lies, children are at virtually zero risk of death. Even if we put aside concerns about the COVID vaccine, there is no legitimate reason to require vaccination of the young. Being able to post videos that offer different points of view, many of them by healthcare professionals and people in medicine, is a good thing. The frantic desire to silence all discussion, no matter how level-headed and banal, that departs in the slightest from the "official narrative" only creates suspicion and distrust. We're not talking about censoring calls to violence (some of which were have not been censored by media platforms, btw, because the targets are political opponents). We're not even talking about weird conspiracy theories that barely anyone but a few people believe. We're talking about discussion about an experimental vaccine and the real dangers of COVID backed by data.

(And btw, the whole antivax "controversy" is a media circus. 98% of Americans have the full regime of vaccines. That's a lot of vaccines. There is no real antivax problem. It's media hype. This given even the moral objections to e.g. the rubella vaccine's origins.)
Only the first, Casino Royale, is close to realistic.

Some of the short stories also seem realistic, as does The Spy Who Loved Me.

"It is literally impossible to make a society sustainable via birth rate alone, which is why I object to the argument vigorously."

And who is making that argument? This isn't what I'm saying at all.

"The only solution is to find a way to make our society and technology sustainable, rather than just hoping that birth control will fix it."

I'm asking is our current global population level sustainable? It sounds like that's a no. There is at least point-in-time population limits to what our "sustainable" system can handle based on advances in technology and societal restrictions. I use quotes here because we do not have a sustainable system, and the number of people who can be sustainably supported is at least billions lower than we are at today given today's technology.

It has to be a combinations of available sustainable tech/lifestyle and having a population that doesn't exceed the limits of sustainability.

> don't listen to the people actually doing the thing

They do listen. But people who "do" things don't necessarily see the big picture. And their interested might be misaligned with company mission, let alone shareholder interests.

I recall when I changed my mind on that topic. My employer at the time decided to change the logo. They hired a designer, designer did somewhat radical change, the new logo was accepted. Most employees were furious, new logo is stupid, too playful, it is betrayal of traditions, yada yada. Still management decided to proceed with new logo.

And in a year, old logo looked like we are still in the 80s. Virtually nobody wanted that old logo back.

At least I had a courage to admit I should not demand changes in the areas I don't really understand.

And realistically, if I understood these things, it would be me who does the hiring, not the opposite.

> only listen to the people whose only interest is extracting as much money out of the operation as possible

People who extract money hire people who know who should be listened and who shouldn't. Many people who "do" things really shouldn't be listened on any topic outside of their area of responsibility (a cook may have an opinion how to move goods more efficiently, but it's likely he or she is wrong). I mean, everyone should listened, but their speech should not necessary be followed.

> Of course, companies also essentially make the laws, so "illegal" is a very shallow line.

Well, man, I believe the world is much more complicated than this. There are too many players in the field, and not all of them are companies, and moreover, different companies want different conflicting laws (imagine Apple laws vs Google laws — Apple wants more privacy, Google wants more freedom to deal with data).

So, I believe your world view is too deeply flawed, so there's probably no point to discuss further. Cheers!
I think there are other issues driving the decreasing social activity - Netflix seems to have replaced existing TV practices, I don't think it vastly extended them.

IMO, access is one of the biggest hidden issues. Everything is designed to require a car, which increases the cost/time/stress of doing anything, and decreases the number of available people to interact with. Neighborhoods built before WW2 are much more interactive and walkable, but we keep pumping out convoluted suburban layouts instead.

Over time, peoples' dopamine system starts weighing the hassle as greater than the potential reward, and they become less socially active. If more people lived within a 5-10 minute walk of these activities, membership would go back up.

This is very interesting news. I got one of these a few months ago and have been positively obsessed with it. It's an amazingly well designed and fun little thing. The way the UI is color coordinated with the hardware knobs and buttons is unlike any tech I've ever seen before in my life. It's really, really slickly made and is fascinating to use.
Details of the specific exploit:

> After several validation checks to ensure the device being exploited was a real device, the final payload would be served to exploit CVE- 2021-1879. This exploit would turn off Same-Origin-Policy protections in order to collect authentication cookies from several popular websites, including Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Yahoo and send them via WebSocket to an attacker-controlled IP. The victim would need to have a session open on these websites from Safari for cookies to be successfully exfiltrated. There was no sandbox escape or implant delivered via this exploit. The exploit targeted iOS versions 12.4 through 13.7. This type of attack, described by Amy Burnett in Forget the Sandbox Escape: Abusing Browsers from Code Execution, is mitigated in browsers with Site Isolation enabled, such as Chrome or Firefox.

For this to be effective you would need to be logged in to your accounts on Safari, rather than just logged in through the respective app (FB for example). So this would have limited effectiveness. Also if you browse with Safari in Private mode it probably wouldn't have worked at all.
Neither does GitHub and yet...
Regardless of hype / opinions .. science can answer the question - I hope sooner rather than later.

There seem to be plausible evidence Ivermectin works both to prevent Covid and treat in early stages : see, eg this meta-analysis of clinical trials by Andrew Hill : https://academic.oup.com/ofid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/of...

The human story from doctors in the field is compelling viewing : see testimony by Dr Pierre Kory, discussion of treatment by Dr Jackie Stone in Zimbabwe etc ..

The picture is cloudy - some plausible trials show neutral or no results, some trials show stunning effectiveness.

One thing many studies dont report is the way in which Ivermectin was given - taken with fatty food, the uptake is 2.5x compared with taken on an empty stomach. This and wide range of dosages could potentially explain why we see such extreme differences in trial outcomes ?

It does not help people come to a real understanding when a) right wing anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists promote Ivermectin in the same breath as other herbal remedies and b) youtube and mainstream media ban and censor much discussion of Ivermectin.

The original Monash in-vitro study is interesting - if Ivermectin truly is a broad-spectrum anti-VIRAL, thats a discovery on the order of Penicillin, with vast implications for medicine and human health.. beyond covid.
It's not nearly as cheap as Glacier, but Backblaze's B2 is $5/TB (and $10/TB to download), putting it between S3 and Glacier. I don't know if the upload speed to B2 is capped; my internet isn't fast enough to tell.

That might be prohibitive if you have a huge NAS to back up, but for moderately large amounts of data (say 5 TBs or less), it seems pretty reasonable.
I can't speak for the two novels, but I've read the short story First Contact by Murray Leinster referenced near the beginning of the article, and I have to disagree regarding it being clever. Maybe I'm just nitpicking, but I think it's really contrived and it doesn't hold up.

Spoilers below, if you don't want to read a badly aged sci-fi story from 75 years ago.

A human and an alien spaceship randomly encounter each other in deep space and can't be sure that the other won't track them back to their homeworld. So, they come up with the "clever" solution of ripping out all their long-range sensors and wiping their navigation logs and then swapping spaceships! That way they both know that the other ship can't track them because they each sabotaged their own sensors. It's really dumb because you can imagine that there must be differences in levels of technology like metallurgy, life support, propulsion, etc, but the story didn't even give those concerns a passing nod.

Then, like much sci-fi of that era, it has to end with a punchline as one of the human officers proclaims that he trusts them after all because he spent the past few weeks sharing dirty jokes with his alien counterpart... who evolved on a different world and probably has a radically different biology and sexual practices.
This is a very good point. Actually, the arrival of LinkedIn disrupted the way recruiters worked. Before LinkedIn the core of their job was indeed building the relationship with candidates. LinkedIn provided them with the opportunity to mass-message the candidates - which is more efficient from recruiter's ROI perspective, but also creates a lot of noise and eventually discourages candidates.

Tough times create people with coping mechanisms - some healthy, some not.

The ones with healthy coping mechanisms come out stronger - they have tools to cope with future challenges.

The ones with unhealthy coping mechanisms can come out worse than before.

And the folks that never face those hard times don’t escape the potential trap - they just delay it because hard times come for everyone eventually.
I have not met a single person in real life this organized with their photos. People I know upload albums to Facebook (!) and forget about them; they might post some really good/momentous ones on Instagram. It’s truly amazing to me (in a good way) that one could devote so much time to organizing photos.

"The point is that developing countries will increase their per capita consumption regardless. If birth rate decreases with level of consumption/gdp, you want to accelerate into it, thereby limiting the peak total consumption."

Generally the accelerations coincide with one another. The only reason the population is increasing now is because some developments are being taken advantage of like food supply and medical care.

It depends if sooner is better. Many times it's easier to implement new technologies from scratch rather than revamp old infrastructure. If we rush implementation, then it can just be a waste of resources (look at sewage treatment in many parts of Africa that modeled it after the US).
This worked wonderfully for me when prepping for interviews the last time I searched for a job. I just committed to 3 months of doing the Leetcode monthly challenge at a minimum. Some days I did more, yes, but only when I felt like it.

By the end of the experiment, I'd seen the majority of algorithms and data structures problem classes that I'd likely ever see in an actual interview. Just doing the daily practice was enough to keep my muscle memory sharp, and in an interview setting, being quick to bang out an algorithm almost always gives you good marks.

To test it out further, after I did my first interview (and felt I aced it), I did not do any daily practice for about 3 weeks between that and my next one. The difference was shocking. I was noticeably slower at answering very similar questions, and occasionally got stuck on things I knew I should know.
Even the US government isn't representative of the people, unless the people changed from a TV game show host who reviles career politicians to a career politician.

The Iranian government isn't as bad as the West makes it seem. And for countries that suffer international sanctions, whatever conservative practices the government may have are not high on the list of things the citizens of that country care about.
That was really my point. In the Bible, you see God directly intervening in certain situations but you don’t see Him actively controlling everything. Moses even argues with Him at one point.

There’s a couple of verses that people have strained to apply that meaning to it, but reading the entire Bible to put things in context you don’t see “everything” happening for a reason. You see some things.

It’s one of the reasons that I try to make this point a lot. I don’t know how many people realize how much that phrase leads non-believers to demonize God by attaching every awful thing that happens to a reason, which then makes those things His doing.

It’s simply not reflected in the text.
