Yep. It's hard to wrap your head across the fact just how small human populations used to be, and how slowly things changed. For the vast majority of our species history, people in tint populations lived the exact same way for thousands of years without any change or technological progress.

Contrast it to the present. A random city has millions of inhabitants and your entire life often changes overnight.
I haven't read the book, but if you can think of a time you said "My stomach is growling" - You're communicating that you are hungry, but doing so by creating an external entity with a mind of its own - your stomach, it's growling, not that you as a full organism are hungry, yet most people will completely understand the intent of your communication. I sometimes wonder if these sorts of ways of thinking are part of why such an idea as the bicameral mind was proposed, or if it's actually part of the way we think because of the legacy of such a bicameral mind.

> when countries disagree significantly on law, they just don't sign extradition agreements

That isn't about "compatibility" of the laws. The US has extradition treaties with pretty much all of their allies but the conditions are mainly dictated by the US given their stronger position.

No country's laws condones war crimes and yet no international court even tried prosecuting any case of suspected war crimes committed by the US military because of things like this [0].

I think most stalking is simply aggregation of totally public data.

As such, I think "stalking" is a bit of an overblown term for it, but it remains the fact that in the common usage one could engage in this so-called "stalking" consuming only publicly available data.
Look, I know that this is an enormously bad bug, but...

Google has a codebase that numbers multiple billions of lines. Using := means typing multiple billions of extra characters. That adds up. And it wouldn't even have prevented this bug!

PostgreSQL still after all these years has a terrible story when it comes to HA and horizontal scalability. Nothing is built in or supported. And one of the only companies to provide something half decent i.e. Citus is now owned by Microsoft and so that project is now at risk.

At least MySQL has something built-in.

Tolerance makes a big difference. If you haven't smoked in a long time, you'll be sensitive to even small amounts of marijuana and it doesn't take much to be too much.

I suspect that cannabinoids and the cannabinoid system act somewhat like the opioid system, where the brain will react differently to the substances depending on tolerance. In the latter system, chronic opioid usage changes the sedative effects associated with that class of drugs to stimulant-like effects.

Similarly, people with no THC tolerance who consume it get anxiety as a side effect, but for chronic users, they get anxiolytic responses from it.
surely you're not actually calling me (perhaps unwittingly(?)) sexist, purely on account of my (still presumed) sex and my interpretation of events? surely you must see the irony of dismissing someone else's take on a given scenario about alleged widespread sexist corporate culture, by saying, "oh you're a dude, 'nuff said"?

The success of Gumroad is in part due to the stores-beget-stores snowball effect: if someone is successful selling online, those that want to emulate the success -- of which there are many -- will gravitate towards the platforms their eyeballs are on.

I suggest setting aside paid advertising, and instead invest in paying creators[1] to switch platforms. For example, pick some medium successful Gumroad creators (maybe they do $1k/sales per month) and offer them a 20% bonus on each sale they make through your platform. A single creator using your platform to make sales will deliver far more value than thousands in paid adverts -- and you can directly link spend to revenue, which is nice for attribution of spend.

[1] I'd pick creators who operate in the creator niche, e.g: people who make content about running an online business, because they're most likely to convert into platform users.

Adam Smith warned extreme division of labor would result in humans that were unimaginably stupid.

Interestingly enough, this is one of the aspects of being a music producer I enjoy! Every plug-in feels like it’s designed to be inspire you. Let’s be honest, an EQ plugin is super basic in what it does to the sound yet we are blessed with dozens of different designs.

It’s the same with any other effect or instrument! The designer's get to have a field day!

It’s my biggest criticism of Ableton - they’re built in modules (not really plugins) are as bland as the whole DAW and don’t act like 3rd party plugins.

The kind of prison he goes to will depend on the length of his sentence. Federal prisons have a reputation for being relatively tame, but this is only true at the minimum security level. Inmates with more than 10 years on their sentences cannot be placed at minimum security facilities, however.

The remainder of the security levels - low, medium, and high - are the the kinds of places you see in movies with all of the attending violence, sexual assaults, and generally nightmarish life.

In the federal system, sentences for fraud are based on amount of loss. For an $11 billion fraud, he would be sentenced to either life, or hundreds of years in prison - and there is no parole in the federal system. That length of sentence would require him to be kept at a high or medium security facility until his death - natural or otherwise - even though his crime was technically white collar.

Basically, if he is extradited to the US, he will never see the light of day, and will regularly experience every horror that the US prison system is rumored to have everyday for the rest of his life until he dies. So deciding to extradite him is a really big decision. It’s not just a slap on the wrist - it’s torture until he dies.
When I learned graphics from a typsetter it went a bit like this:

First lesson: A white A4 paper and one black square of fixed size. You are allowed to move and rotate. Afterwards you have to explain your compositions.

Second lesson: you are allowed to scale the black square now.

Third lesson: two squares

Fourth lesson: three squares, colors are allowed now

Fifth lesson: Circles are allowed now

Etc.

We talked about fonts and type only a year in, but the stuff I learned in the first five lessons was peobably the most valuable stuff I learned about graphics ever.

>""It is not just the right of the person who speaks to be heard, it is the right of everyone in the audience to listen and to hear, and every time you silence somebody you make yourself a prisoner of your own action because you deny yourself the right to hear something. In other words, your own right to hear and be exposed is as much involved in all these cases as is the right of the other to voice his or her view.

Indeed as John Stuart Mill said: if all of society were agreed on the truth and beauty and value of one proposition, all except one person it would be most important, in fact it would become even more important, that that one heretic be heard because we would still benefit from his perhaps outrageous or appalling view."

Interesting. That’s pretty much most popular combination.
> jurisdiction depends on where the crime was committed

No, it doesn't. Sovereignty is inherently unlimited. Jurisdiction depends on the law of the party seeking to exercise it. Bringing someone before the court with jurisdiction may sometimes require external cooperation, but the terms of that are products of diplomacy; there's no hard and fast universal rules.
Oh I’m not talking about this particular incident. {{current_administration}} is obviously right, and I don’t need to know anything else. I’m talking about all the things that {{rival_party}} did. They’re terrible.

Societies with easy access to calories and sugar/carbs/sat fats and reduction in movement and increase in sitting have more obesity, right?

I am doubtful that easy access to calories means more obesity. The Japanese is a wealthy society and is less obese than the American, for example.

Also, societies that move more doesn't necessary have an increase in TDEE as society that move less. Your basal metabolism adjusts and accounts for physical activities. you would probably need to go to extreme to adjust your TDEE upward.
Could I beg of you to give an example?

Back when I was working in C#, there were quite a few times when I'd encounter things being done with reflection that I wish had been done with less code and a more type safe manner by just... not using reflection. I always just assumed a lot of that was just bad habits left over from the .NET 1.0 days, back before generics. So I'm curious if there's much overlap there? If it's only a subset, I don't know C as well as I'd like, so it would be interesting to see something that the C preprocessor handles better.
I don't think that's true because your negotiating power comes from how valuable you are, not only on your "negotiating skills."

not in necesity: maybe heavy users are using with or without law, maybe law mostly causing casual users to use it but not many more heavy ones. If then only heavy use is cause schizofrenia, we maybe are not seeing a great growth of rates.
>that people should be based on their negotiating skills, then you also support paying people regardless of their performance

Nah, it's finer grained than that. Negotiating skills are the cherry on top, but they are dependent on performance.

You can't negotiate if you don't have offer a level of performance that justifies the negotiation.

You won't even get the interview (and therefore opportunity to negotiate) without the "performance" i.e. actual work related skills.

It is practically essential for any RDBMS to provide non-standard statements and features. For example, even CREATE INDEX isn't in the SQL standard, since the SQL standard deliberately avoids talking about what it considers to be implementation details. This is probably a good goal in many ways. But what counts as an implementation detail is open to interpretation.

You could say the same thing about the isolation levels. They are supposed to be platonic ideals, free from any implementation baggage. But the reality is that you can tell that the people that originally defined how they work were mostly (perhaps entirely) thinking about old school two-phase locking.

I'm not a critic of the standard -- it's imperfections (which are arguably contradictions) reflect real world differences that are hard or impossible to resolve. Just pointing out that this is how it is.

Delivery happens when the customer successfully completes a payment. The value add is this:

If you sell e.g. a downloadable product, it's relatively easy to manually email out a link to it every time you make a sale.

But when you start to grow and/or see an increase in sales, you'll be wasting a lot of time on delivering that eBook to all those customers. This, x10, for other digital content like license keys.

And if you look at it from the customer's perspective: you don't want to wait for the seller to come online and send a link to the product you paid for hours ago. You want it instantly.

That is where the simplicity of SellApp comes in. We handle the payment, automatically send out the product to the customer, and help the customer get in touch with you in case anything is wrong with their purchase.

OP made unabashedly broad claims about an entire generalized industry, saying something happens everywhere, yes even at your company where you think everything is fine and there's no problems, yes, it happens there too. this implies that literally every measure possible taken at every possible corporation in the entire broad field of "software" continues to be ineffective at solving these problems, and that we must be aware of this. OP went out of their way to both leave no room for nuance in this assertion and to provide zero solutions or ideas for solutions for solving this problem, and implied that it was endemic to women working together with men (in software, I guess). what other possible alternative interpretation is there?
