When you go to a regional Burning Man event, or a very long and intense festival of some kind, with someone you know and care about, it's not uncommon for that relationship to unravel and break down by the end of the festival.

At the beginning of 2021, I noticed that I wanted to break up with myself. I had become a shitty version of myself and I didn't want to keep seeing me. But I'm.... Me. What the hell went wrong? What changed?

By working from home, most every moment might be focused on work, purely because... I now literally lived inside my workplace. The work laptop's always there. Slack is on the phone. The same places I might relax, I also now work at. My attire has meshed. And most of the time, if I wasn't specifically doing something non-worky, I was still in work mode. I thought a lot about work problems. And without humans in front of me to talk to, I took work stuff more personally.

I also stopped going to the gym, my former "stress relief / therapy", because I did not find it safe. And when I did want to relax, usually it was with food; and, hey, might as well have a glass of wine to relax too. Maybe a movie. Whoops, was that three glasses? Is it time for bed already?

The reasons for the Playa breakups and Pandemic Burnout are surprisingly similar. They both come down to a radical, intense change of routine for an extended period of time. You become a new person living a chaotic life. Surprise: not everyone adapts well to that!

But another funny thing about both breakups: they tend to magnify the tiny annoying details of your life that you got by with before. Burning out can be a good thing if you can identify the parts of your life that just weren't working and change things for the better. But mostly you need to remember to forgive yourself and let go of what doesn't bring you joy. We have long lives, but there's no reward at the end of life for putting up with crap.
iirc, there are third party voices available.
Pretty interesting idea. Can someone edit the page and change one of the queries to

I feel like I could only really understand my parents when I became a parent myself. All the fucked up stuff they did to themselves and each other (and sometimes to me), all the life lessons they tried (mostly unsuccessfully) to teach me - I'm doing some version of it, and it now makes more sense since I'm now where they were back then. I suspect it'll only fully make sense once I become a grandparent.
This is pretty similar to my experience. I also left my last position in November. It was a combination of a doomed project, an unsympathetic replacement manager, the stress of isolation, and general anxiety about where my life was headed. I feel I've gone through some important and positive changes in terms of habits and attitude since leaving, and am ready to start something new. So far, though, no one has been willing to pick me over other candidates, despite supposedly high demand for my skills.
This is a really cool idea, but an email account? That seems pretty unsafe to me. Accounts can be closed at random, the email provider can go under.

I don't know, maybe it's not better but I think I would feel better with a flash drive or something physical (which I would backup and replace every so often).
Maybe that's one of the benefits of having a podcast on Spotify. They can probably collect fine-grained analytics compared to an RSS-based client.

AT&T takes it a step further. Only if my phone does do VoLTE and AT&T puts it on their magic whitelist (which you can bet, for example, is not going to have the PinePhone on it) am I going to be able to use my phone at all on AT&T's network (well, at least that's my understanding). Other carriers might not have a whitelist though—but I'm not sure.
The reason I prefer untargeted ads is that targeted ads make me more likely to spend money. I don’t want to part with my money over junk I don’t need, so I’d rather see irrelevant ads that won’t persuade me to spend.
I have absolutely no idea why you're being downvoted, other than group-think.

It's weird. And it's everywhere.
I was gonna say the same thing. It's a gilded ghetto. He's a lot richer but a lot less people know or care what he says. Rogan's going the same way. And I have to wonder whether that's really what guys like that, who built their lives around gaining fame, actually want.
Yes.

Cumulative charts such as "Attack rates by vaccination status" do not control for the time-dependent composition of the population by vaccination status. I am not sure what is preventing people from displaying those data per month and within age-group.

Note that people who've had their first shot and people who are not more than two weeks out from their second shot are counted as "unvaccinated".
Nature seems to flip a switch in parents—the profound responsibility of raising a child is its own source of perseverance.
> The left controls ~95% of all media and it still isn't enough

The biggest social media site is Facebook. Facebook is very right leaning.

The biggest cable news/punditry channel is Fox. Fox is _very_ right leaning.

The rest of cable news is mostly centrist, certainly not left. MSNBC is vaguely left, that's about it.

Radio is dominated by right-wing blowhards.

Where is my 95% exactly?
>CPI is misleading, M3 is more accurate.

I wonder what happens if we apply that to other metrics...

https://i.imgur.com/2GkpBLZ.png

Uh oh. If we take raw gdp (ie. not adjusted for inflation/cpi), and adjust it by M3 instead, we find that the economy has shrunk by nearly 50% since the mid 90s. That can't be right, can it?

It does depend a bit on what you count as a “server”. I’d definitely count virtual servers where you control the software stack entirely (well, apart from ring −1), provided there’s nothing special about the hardware.

A fix for that would be to process the query in something like spark's interpreter as a middle man, which doesn't allow things like that and is query only.
That is basically the definition of hardness. It doesn't make gems indestructible; they can be worn down like anything else. We cut diamonds even though we don't have something harder to cut them with; it's just much harder than cutting softer stones with diamonds.

A cut gem's sharp corners will be worn down over time by the paper the gem is kept in. Paper's not that hard.

(And of course, even if scratching were completely impossible, gems are still easy to smash. There are all kinds of deformations that aren't scratching.)
Perhaps consider career downsizing. Work 3 days a week and minimize lifestyle costs.

You can be free in 15 years but you'll never be able to buy back your youth.
Yep. That's why you have to give management the full disclaimer and sign-off so they are aware of the risks of launching a prototype as if it was production ready. The decision and ramifications of their decision should be on them, not the devs.

Those games are an interesting case: it’s very likely Activision or Warner owns the rights for them, but since ownership could be in the hands of at least one other party and the games themselves aren’t popular nowadays, it isn’t financially worth it for them to do the work to verify it, even though people have tried to work with them in the past.

I don't agree with you guys at all. I like Joe a lot - but I do not always agree with him, nor his guests - but here is why he is one of the best interviewers I have witnessed:

He doesnt talk over his guests - he never pontificates to them, and lets them have their piece...

Additionally - he is actually really well read, and has a great memory and can recall how things he had read in the past relate to the conversations at hand.

You put joe rogan up against literally any television "interviewer" in the history of television, and you will see they are all hacks. Soundbyte driven hacks.

Ill take joe over ANYONE on television today.

Also - there are far too many podcasts, and its great to have very interesting people on his show - where they talk openly about anything for 3 hours.

as opposed to a 1 minute sound byte on complex world affairs where reporters are interviewing reporters about what some other reporter said and then claiming that "experts" "officials" and "sources close to the matter" say... and then every single person on their cast is "Senior correspondent this or that" - with zero creds shown as to why they are senior...

News is FAKE.

At least the interviews on JRE are uncut, there is only ONE other staff member in the room whos only job is to switch cams and look up something if either the guest or joe have doubts about what they are saying.

I find it funny how people can bitch about someone if there is something they dont agree with, as if one must have a 100% ideological map to anything they watch/see/listen to or else its all 100% fake.
I cried when RadioShack discontinued its annual catalog. I recall it was published around this time each year (September). <sniff>
If anyone at Wikipedia is reading this, could you please show the table of contents (TOC) at the top of the page in mobile mode so that we can click and hold the anchor links to copy them? Or add an option to show TOC. Or at least make the section headers actual links.

The use case here is that some enthusiasts like to share their Wikipedia crawls and especially the "leaf" links at the end of filtering those search trees. Right now their perception is that mobile mode prevents them from doing the one thing that they most enjoy about Wikipedia, which is collaborating.

If there's already a way to access the anchor links from mobile, then by all means enlighten us.

Actually, after YEARS of dealing with this inconvenience, it just occurred to me to try turning off mobile mode entirely. It turns out that you can do this at the bottom of any Wikipedia page by clicking the "Desktop" link. You can go back by clicking the "Mobile view" link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Enable_mobile_versio...

You can also click on the hamburger menu -> Settings -> Expand all sections. This is nice for reducing friction during deep Wikipedia crawls where we're skimming large amounts of information. Mobile mode seems to be designed for more of a neurotypical way of browsing data in a top-down fashion, rather than casting a wide net and brainstorming ideas in parallel.

Read through much of the blog. Thanks for sharing. 3 months in seems pretty soon to start working again. Did you always have the itch to do contract work? During the sabbatical or otherwise?
We can also calculate our use tax but nobody really does.
My ideal would be a group with some shared interest and shared goals who meet on a recurring basis. Typically that is merged with working in an office, so the demand for such a group is mostly satisfied. But it really leaves behind people who work from home (and people who have few coworkers and/or don’t like them).
The top earners on OnlyFans make a lot of money indeed. There was recently a great interview with Amouranth [1] where she talked about her work.

Making $1.4 million per month and growing, has 4 employees, outsources every chore she can, posts content on all the social media platforms, and grinds 12 hour days on Twitch. [2] Doesn't spend most of the money, is learning about and trying out investments.

Interestingly she doesn't think that this type of top-heavy earnings situation will be sustainable, that the revenue will be more evenly distributed in the future. Even so, she considers her biggest competition to not be up-and-coming people, but instead existing influencers who might bring their audience to OnlyFans.

Definitely not a common success story, but it's pretty interesting how it is possible to have insane success when applying well-reasoned growth strategies and keeping up the grind.

Good question. This (PhD from Smithsonian interview) might be part of the answer (details specific to PT extinction). To quote just a bit:

"[90% of ocean species dying] basically hit a reset button on ecosystems in the ocean ... These animals were living in coastal environments, eating seafood that washed up on the beach, and over time became more and more dedicated to living in the ocean."

I think everyone knows that all legacy IT systems throughout much of government and business will be declared "unsecurable" in the next 5-10 years, and the proffered solution will be to migrate everything to the clouds of the few big players. So these $10B or $20B are going to result in $100B+ in future business.

This limits your discipline so much. Do you not use Shell because ifs close with fi?

Do you not use HTML because declarations end with the same identifier?

Would you not bother trying Python because it handles whitespace differently than most other programming languages?
VAERS is a flawed data set, because it is pure correlation, not causation. Quoting VAERS: "When evaluating data from VAERS, it is important to note that for any reported event, no cause-and-effect relationship has been established. Reports of all possible associations between vaccines and adverse events (possible side effects) are filed in VAERS. Therefore, VAERS collects data on any adverse event following vaccination, be it coincidental or truly caused by a vaccine. The report of an adverse event to VAERS is not documentation that a vaccine caused the event."

You could get the vaccine, and then days later, you get diarrhea, or a headache, or a charlie horse in your calf, and you reason "oh, it must have been the vaccine", and boom it goes into VAERS: garbage in, garbage out.

VAERS is best realized as a regulatory capture of the personal injury lawyer industry.
I don't use it, but seeing that it works on local folders, can't you just use it on a synched drive like google/dropbox/onedrive ?
This is the correct answer and is actually somewhat visible if you also look at the DJIA and NASDAQ figures.

The S&P 500 and DJIA are limited to a fixed number of corporations. The NASDAQ is allowed to expand it's number of listed companies over time.

If you look at the NASDAQ figures it's able to show considerable and relevant growth, as more companies have listed. (Still not at 2000's peak, but much closer than the S&P or DJIA.)
It's not an all or nothing option. You can work part time. Ideal for me would be 2 to 3 days a week.
It probably depends on the covenants of the particular institution, but there is precedence for this. Texas A&M, for example, has a campus in Qatar (not just another state, but another country!) and even confers Degrees there.

Specifically for the example of Australians watching pirate rips of television programs, the percentage of us doing it dropped like a brick after Netflix launched here back in 2015 and has climbed back slightly since the fragmentation occurred.

It's nothing like the old days where we had to wait several weeks to watch Game of Thrones legally, though.

I don't have the exact numbers on hand, but from memory it was something that around 40% of us were doing back in 2013, had dropped to around 15-20% by 2018-2019, and is now at just above 20%.
There is zero discoverability on onlyfans. The only people making money are those with a built in audience from other platforms.
Can someone explain where I can watch Joe now? His YT videos cut off in Nov 2020.
Yeah. The storage medium changed so much, but the functional shipped object was still "a chunk of read-only memory containing the (probably) sole version of a game that got shipped to a market".

I too tend to think of ROMs as strictly images of non-volatile chips, alone, but it's interesting that when we're in computer emulation territory, it's really only the size that's different; a CD iso feeds into a PS emulator pretty much the same way a rom file feels into a SNES emulator - it's just a document.
There is no doubt that society is in a state of hysteria. This reaches through the scientific process too, so there is reason to question everything

What I find interesting in these articles (and others) is CompSci is listed as a bad investment... oversaturation and what not.
Found it, episode 103, "Desirability Bias"

Mind, after several months of not having heard that episode ... I understood the audio immediately.

Audio: https://youarenotsosmart.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/103-... (mp3)

Episode: https://youarenotsosmart.com/2017/07/20/yanss-103-desirabili...

When David McRaney says "savour that feeling, because there is no going back", believe him. There really isn't.

The clip, and the reveal, are at the beginning of the episode.
Because the serious proven cases of side effects from the vaccine are astronomically low compared to infection by actual COVID, and vaccines don't result in spread to other people, but natural infections do.

It's just that simple.
It would have been great to find out a fourth scenario: infected post double vaccination
This one is pretty easy though. Forget the camera, we have a pervasive norm that you can't be in my house without my permission. With or without cameras, you've violated the norm, and in this case also the law.

I'm not arguing that all data collection is ok. I'm just arguing against the point that all data collection is not ok.

This was also my understanding of the natural antibody response: that it can identify more than just a single protein and creates antibodies to multiple features of the virus. This can be expected to provide broader protection.

There's a vast gulf between "Rogan should be more careful about bringing on and platforming people especially if he's going to support or validate what they say" and "Joe Rogan shouldn't be allowed to do his podcast."

Also the absolutist position ignores the limited capacity both in raw time and cognitively to take in information and that pushing people to do better about not spewing out or supporting bullshit is also free speech..
JRE clips still get posted on YouTube but not the full recordings, which is annoying. I haven’t listened to many recently as a result. Just giving people the freedom to listen/watch wherever they like would be best. I usually prefer YouTube for podcasts - video, easy access and sharing, timeline sections, comments, recommendations, no ads and background audio with YouTube premium)
I found something akin to this after dad died, while going through some old floppies looking for a demo my friends had made and released and then lost. I don't really remember what it said, but I remember I wished I hadn't read it.

I have those files somewhere, I protect them, back them up, and move them dutifully when I migrate to a new box, but I never ever read through them.

So, YMMV.
Google's payments to Apple to be the default search engine on iOS: $15B in FY21
I have been writing a journal on-and-off for more than 5 years already.

My purpose is similar, which is to only have it available to my loved ones after I die. I am hoping that whatever lessons I couldn't impart to them while I was alive, they could get from my writings.

I've also revealed to them that my journal exists so that they would know what to do when the time comes.

My journal is digital and it's spread across my computer, my phone, and on the cloud. I am planning to write a script to collect everything into one location to make it easier to go through it. I also plan to add a note to each family member, just in case they could not (or do not want to) read through the whole thing. I just hope I would still have the time to do all of this.
Because sod is dirty?
Thanks for this article and hit me really hard. My mom passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago. She was just starting to enjoy retirement and time being a grandmom. Her journals were note books and mostly documents of what she had done in two year of retirement and things to do with the boys. It's so hard to look at the plans of things to come and what she was thinking of... like the planning of my oldest son's 9 3/4 birthday in a year because he's so in to Harry Potter. It's a unique treasure to see the inner workings of her mind and something I wish everyone got to experience after a parents passing. We've left the stack of them out at her house so the rest of my siblings can go through them as the pass through.
No, because covid tests are not 100% conclusive, so from a statistical point of view it will always be better to get a vaccine shot anyway.

I'm not sure if this applies in Colorado, but I just read on a law firm's web site[0] that, if you file a 'John Doe' lawsuit, you are filing within the statute of limitations, even if you don't amend the filing with the defendant's name until later.
