I have to say, I agree with the traditional Christian practice that discourages this sort of monasticism, called gyrovagues[0] in the West. The more usual forms of monasticism, although they accept donations, are expected to me more or less self-sufficient on a daily basis, and thus less parasitic on society. Either a monk would live in a monastery and work to support the monastery, possibly selling some of the products to the outside world, or a monk would live on their own in the wilderness, only occasionally meeting with a priest and generally actively avoiding donors, at least for the first few years. An exception is anchorites, who generally spend all their time in prayer and do rely on donations, but they generally don't move around from place to place.

Even the large monasteries over time became less favored by the populace in Europe, since they had acquired enough land through donations over the centuries that they often began to act more like landlords.

In summary, those who wish to live outside of normal society, particularly economically, should strive to avoid being parasites, and, failing that, should not move from host to host.

When I became homeless and broke I was lucky enough to have a friend who at the time let me use his address to apply for a job

I also tried seeking help from my local authority and was told there wasn't any

2 months of work, couch surfing and eating boiled pasta got me to a stage where I could rent a room

I think that for most, support is all it takes to get back on your feet
Jehovah's witnesses were big on end-of-the-world predictions until they realized the only thing they achieved was scorn and ridicule. Hope climatologists and other earth-scientists bend down on alarming climate change calls don't end up like those.
> Dude, you're a narcissist. You're free to change your values over time but no one else is? Maybe the next person squatting in your town square is a former you.

This was exactly what was going through my head while reading their post. That, or that they are making up a BS backstory to gain some sort of credibility, but there is no point in that sort of speculating.

The Assange case is collapsing but it remains a travesty of justice
This is a very good point but puts the arbiter of quality content on those willing and able to be weaker on that ratio and still earn the same dollar. It’s not enough to ask people not to be lazy
If someones choice of values leads them to wilfully and proudly become a parasite and a burden to the people around them, then they are the ones with the mental disorder.
50% actually seems way too low to me, and I wish I had some time and resources to look at their methodology.

The other number that would seriously affect solutions is whether homeless in general travel to cities that better support being homeless or not. That is, how much of the problem is homegrown and how much is just because Seattle, LA, SF have good resources and weather? Because if mobility is an significant option, the better any one city does at solving their homeless problems, the worse their problem will become.

All the studies I’ve seen so far have been really flawed (eg most Seattle homeless living in pioneer square before they became homeless).

What about the "hockey-stick" exponential growth that's needed for compounding to work?

Companies pretend that it's true for them, but actually are at the mercy of business cycles. Governments have linear growth at best. Property has had exponential growth because of increasing population, but that's plateauing.

Can social connectedness be exponential, for the benefit of society? Not just more people, but people who are more connected to each other? How can that growth be incentivised? (I'm thinking out loud)
I guess happy optimistic people have better things to do than spend their day commenting on Reddit. Bit of selection bias maybe.
Types are about rigorously constructing mathematical abstractions

from primitive types defined up to a unique isomorphism.

In fact, types have become the primary foundation of Computer Science.

Russell introduced the crucial concept of the order of a

proposition to block his famous paradox as follows:

Without orders on propositions, the paradoxical predicate I’mNotSelfApplicable (such that

I’mNotSelfApplicable[I’mNotSelfApplicable]⇔¬I’mNotSelfApplicable[I’mNotSelfApplicable])

could be constructed using the following recursive definition:

I’mNotSelfApplicable:Predicate<i>≡¬I’mNotSelfApplicable[I’mNotSelfApplicable]

Since I’mNotSelfApplicable is a predicate variable in the definition,

¬I’mNotSelfApplicable[I’mNotSelfApplicable]:Predicate<i+1>.

Consequently,

I’mNotSelfApplicable:Predicate<i>⇒I’mNotSelfApplicable:Predicate<i+1>

which is a contradiction meaning that I'mNotSelfApplicable
does not exist.

The important part of this alleged business model is that the domain goes on sale, which basically forces a serious user to pay whatever the sale price is. Bait-and-switching on “ad free” is not exactly admirable but its tame by comparison.

She did not earn her money with cycling. Last year, her proffesion was Mathematics teacher. She was also far from a favorite for this race.

She spent one year in a proffesional group. The commentators were saying she really dislikes riding in 'the bunch'. Which would make proffesional cycling hard.
She qualified through national championships, which are open to non-proffesionals.

As for invisibility, the person who came second thought they were first. So somehow they missed this. And she wasn't the only one who didn't know there was still someone ahead.

Non of this is meant to say Kiesenhofer did not deserve this. She rode an amazing race, and earned this gold medal.
Ok it might be "good" but its not the best "communication & process " you get with collocated teams.

The skunkworks teams the developed the Apple MAC is one very good example.
You obviously can't have the entire rationals, because your computer's memory is finite. And if you are approximating anyway, adding space to the mantissa of both the numerator and denominator will approximate values about as well as adding space only into one of them (the actual gain grows with O(log(n)) of those sizes).

Thus, if you won't work with exact numbers, the best choice to represent rationals is to place all bits you can at the mantissa of a single side, and just store the order of magnitude of the other side. And, for simplicity you want the mantissa on the numerator side. What is basically a floating point number.

Things are very different if you will work with exact numbers.

Forgive my ignorance but when they say 75% of insects have disappeared over the last 50 years, do they mean species variance or biomass?
I'm really failing to see how that's any clearer. If you're looking at SQS you probably already know it's an AWS service, and pubsub seems less descriptive than queue...
I recall there was a point in time where my boss had an iPod, my co-worker had a Zune, and I had a Sandisk E250.

They had some fairly different niches-- both the iPod and Zune were in the relatively narrow selection of high-capacity, hard-disc based MP3 players. In that environment, tje iPod was the minimalist option-- less complex UI, seamless package, but feature-poor. The Zune offered far more features and customizability. I can recall being aghast that you couldn't get a FM radio feature on an iPod, when the cheapest 'flash drive with dreams of grandeur' MP3 players offered it. (This, of course, being relevant when a 2Gb player wouldn't contain enough music to feel "infinite" and you'd want more variety)
Looking at the graphics it seems that the start of the pattern is closer to Reaganomics than Facebook for the English speaking world. For German and Spanish started way later, closer to social media.

So, maybe in the USA it started early and the it spread to other parts of the world thru social media. One way or another it seems important to study the reasons and the effects of such change of language.
I've noticed that I lift easier (and it's not a subtle difference) when I do some deep spine-stretching yoga on recovery days.

So I certainly agree! I view stretching (calisthenics, yoga, Pilates, whatever you want to call it) as a natural adjunct of weightlifting, something which most lifters discover is useful, even necessary.

But it's not as obvious to a dedicated yogic practitioner why they might want to lift weights. So in terms of "pick one" I'm going to advocate for the one which naturally points in the direction of both (:
That would not be Agile then - Agile trades off almost every thing for speed.

Yes, indeed.

This kind of bug is an argument for having metrics.
The good thing about autoincrementing unsigned 64-bit integers is that 1) it's insanely fast, 2) SQLite is doing it automatically, 3) seriously, why don't they have it on all tables yet? SQLite guarantees no collisions within a table.

Doing homegrown ID generation is how such bugs are being introduced in the first place. Your application level trigger got bypassed, oops. Your check was experimentally disabled and left like that for a year until people started noticing, oops.

If you make an SQLite-backed application and it has a bug like this, I can safely bet $500 it's not going to be SQLite that has the bug.

Just don't expose the numeric IDs in links, and generate your UUIDs in tables where you need to point to rows in an outside-accessible link. This is database 101, for crying out loud.
If you don't have radios, you still need to tell riders about the gaps.

Also, consider where the output needs to go after being consumed by a person.
In most cases, that’s fairly easy to tell by looking at their history, current living situation, and cognitive abilities.

Also, are those who are lazy really the majority case here? Or a straw man being used to justify ignoring the problem?
No, it suggests that people liking Damn Interesting on Facebook were already readers and that Facebook wasn't providing more than "a tiny dent" of additional traffic.

Facebook likes to try to take credit for 100% of the traffic they send from their platform, but seems like the people they were reaching would have gone anyways.

>Unless you actually believe that Tim Cook committed perjury.

One. He knows there are no way to prove him wrong. Just like many other things he had said during Apple vs Qualcomm and Apple vs IMG. When there are ample of evidence his word are either lying by omission or a spin on a word's definition.

Two, AFAIK, he didn't said "they had been doing the change to 15% for under $1M before the actual Epic Games lawsuit was filed, and that it had been in the works for over a year."

He said and I quote "probably has its origins several years ago". They could trace that back as Phil Schiller's letter to Tim Cook on App Store if it needs to be.
Well, when we consider that VC funding is usually trending towards a model of hyper growth, it becomes fairly straightforward to see that the model leans towards throwing people at the problem to make it grow faster. I do think it would be interesting to see a study comparing growth rates of companies comparing to number of employees as (educated guess here) operating with that many employees that quickly is going to result in a number of inefficiencies.
Say there’s a hypothetical AC that works very well and requires no environmentally problematic materials and lasts forever,

If iMessage were sending photos to the wrong people (even with extremely low probability) for over half a year, there would be serious negative publicity to Apple for it, even if they had never implemented end-to-end encryption. Apple also has more software testers and more willingness to use telemetry. So while there are no 100% guarantees, I think the incentives are aligned with iMessage at least as well as they are with Signal.

Apple suffered negative publicity from the 2014 iCloud photo leaks, even though those were "just" phishing and not a vulnerability/bug in the strict sense. Tim Cook had to give statements to the media, and in fact Apple stepped up its phishing protection by pushing two-factor authentication and notifying users about additional iCloud logins.
> that bugs in Rust code are physically impossible

This isn't a real thing either. I see it asserted all the time on HN and it's hilarious.

> Anyone hinting that bugs are still possible in Rust gets downvoted to oblivion (as here).

90% of the time it's because the person is making a stupid point. 10% of the time it's the community being annoying.

So just to reiterate, you're basing this on being barely an observer on forums, and I'm basing this on multiple years of professional rust development.
It was not meant as critical, just that it's unclear to me.

Unlike mining traditional crypto currencies, a carbon coin would require a large amount of capital equipment up front before mining. Bootstrapping without fiat capital would be an extra wrinkle.
At some point, I think the Librem 5 could be that alternative.

Some say it's too expensive. They're not wrong, but Purism (makers of the Librem 5) can't make any money on the software or App sales - they have to sell hardware to pay for R&D, software engineers, and the actual cost of hardware. Beyond this, it's not actually too far off from the high-end phones people (in North America) buy anyways.

This leads to "The phones people buy are subsidized by the carrier, making them seem less expensive". This is a real hurdle I can't think of any way around, unless Purism offers financing. They currently have a 6 month lead time though, which might match up with this concept really well. Making all your payments within 6 months means Purism gets paid by the time the phone ships, and it's not a lump sum for anyone who uses this option.

Now we're down to software. On my Pinephone, it's still beta quality. But calls, SMS, Matrix, Firefox, and more all work - just slowly. With the Librem 5's more powerful hardware, I think we're at a state where tech nerds can use it as a daily phone. Fortunately, Purism and Pine64 aren't working alone. Improvements to Firefox, Phosh, Calls, and more, are shared between them and anyone else that contributes. Even better, there's a goal to shoot for. The basic UI of a smartphone is out there, and has been for a decade. Free software's biggest handicap (commonly cited as design and UX) is less hobbling, as there's other OS's to take inspiration from. And the software is improving measurably every week (on my Pinephone running Arch).

The hardware is lacking, too. But phone speed is reaching, or has reached, a point of diminishing returns (depending on whom you ask). Will the Librem 5 ever be great hardware? No, I don't think anyone will say it'll ever stand toe-to-toe with the latest (or maybe even a current) iPhone. But with software improvements, it can be good enough. And that's really all we need.
Reddit and HN skews to the perennially online, who are composed of people that believe work should be easy, fulfilling, highly paid, and most of all: optional. They also think this is the natural state of nature and it’s everyone else’s fault that it is not so.

What is this? The 1890s?

Marketing has regressed far from “letting people know”, through and beyond psychological manipulation into a world where truth and reality literally does not matter as long you market it correctly to each demographic.

You kind of put your foot in it with this comment. Societal change, for the most part, directly follows questioning and understanding.
So it seems that honest self-examination is one essential ingredient.

Then based on this examination, one must take action and interact with the world, perhaps face fears.

From this interaction with your surroundings, you gain insight and experience. You are changed.

I worked in an office, where knowing three languages was a mediocre achievement at best. Everyone spoke 4,5,or even 6 languages. Yet, pretty much everyone was hardly making more than someone flipping burgers+ overtime. Knowing language is nothing, unless you can use it in some profitable way. If you are a attaché to China, of course it's useful, but if you slicing noodles in Chinese restaurant,well then hardly so.
Sure, just watch out for CrossFit, most of those crews have an unhealthy attitude towards workouts imho.

I deliberately left out the word "heavy" because, while I do favor the powerlifting 5x5 style personally, it's not for everyone. Just: free weights, and compound lifts over isolation exercises.

Putting less weight on the bar and combining it with sprints and burpees makes plenty of sense to me, although it's not my style.
Good point, I did not know that.

You're 1000% correct about build quality. Ironically, re my prior post, I've been missing soviet style flats ever since I moved to the UK many years ago. Affordable, better soundproofing, no mold, way better plumbing, no personal boiler to have to screw around with. Also 4-story apartment buildings are obviously a better way of doing medium density than stuffing 4-8 people into a 4 bedroom house the way South East England does it.

However, that's sort of orthogonal(maybe wrong word) to he architectural style. I'm sure decent build quality can be done with a decent outside facade, even though private British home builders are all awful these days.

I have joked to friends several times (when angry about rentals' value/money ratio) that Oxford could have benefited from a Ceausescu figure tearing down the crappier working class neighborhoods and replacing them with 4-6 story apartment buildings. Only about 10% serious about it, since he would've torn down the downtown as well to build himself a McPalace, tacky bastard that he was.
She's only an amateur in the technical sense.

It seems to me like she has the passion and drive for time trialing, not really road racing. It's hard to do that for money, and she is apparently driven and lucky enough to be able to have a job but still train like a pro.
True. Less radical thing I've done is placing the main unit next to heavy furniture in some distance from the actual desk, so it is mostly obscured for vision and sound waves it seems. With cabling and USB hubs (including those in the monitors) it remains pretty convenient. I'm sure you can go even further with standard sound dampening tricks if you care.

Running painful? Some find it boring, but it's not inherently painful. It can be painful if your form is bad, if you run too often, too long, if some of your muscles are too weak, if you have an imbalance between right and left side (most of it can be corrected with exercise), etc. Basically if you do it wrong.
