Reminds me of Conflict vs Mistake theory. Mistake theorists worry about whether an idea is true. Conflict theorists worry about whether an idea is useful their enemies.

Shifting the argument to "bad faith", "closet X", "stealth Y" is exactly that: It says nothing about whether something true, only that "it helps the bad guys."

> Ie, if a hypothetical person was 100% optimizing for self-interest, they would not break blackout laws but would break lockdown laws.

Yes… except that’s the other way around from what happened in reality. People did break blackout lockdown rules but they generally didn’t break COVID lockdown rules.
The rollout of TSA Pre confirmed my belief that TSA is a worthless hinderance on travel. But, it is par for the course with anything remotely political. Create a solution to a problem that is outsized for the risk. This solution creates a new problem. Offer a workaround for the newly created problem instead of removing the previous solution.

Most of the political solutions I see tossed around are bandages on wounds inflicted by current policies. Nobody ever suggests removing the policy that is actually causing the problem in the first place.

At least the issue with that years ago was when minecraft would have an update that introduced some new generated resource where you would have to get to the edge of the map to generate some to use. Most servers restart periodically to get fresh resources near spawn, not only for new resources that might have come out in recent updates, but just because the area has been completely harvested by past players like some scarred piece of land and you need to start venturing out far to find trees or ore.
I love this video. The one part that didn't seem to work for me is the "don't pre-rinse your dishes" part -- perhaps my dishwasher's fault, but I was really disappointed when, after several washes and varying degrees of gook on plates and bowls, stuff was still coming out dirty. I quick pre-rinse works best for me and my dishwasher, combined with the other tips in his video.
> that will last you the rest of your life by your 40s seems like a good trade-off.

My "group decision on where to eat" rule is pretty simply but works well:

* Anyone can veto a suggestion, but they must suggest an alternate restaurant (that has not already been vetoed) instead.

This rule is gameable. A bad faith participant could veto a restaurant and suggest a patently horrible one and then rely on someone else to veto that and do the work to come up with a good suggestion. But there is a meta-rule here which is:

* Don't be friends with people who would do that.

To be fair, it’s not all positive feedbacks. Ocean acidification is definitely a negative feedback. So too is desertification, which turns dark forest into high albedo grassland and deserts. Clouds are… complicated. Of the positive feedbacks that terrify me, it’s the undersea methane clathrates.

> but to actually recognize when it's important to spend effort on some new trend, and when it's important to ignore other trends

And in order to do that you need to put in the work to study the trends and understand if they are the future or a simple fad.

The only way to do that is to put in the work, studying papers, reading a lot etc.

That is still work, because sure as hell it ain't leisure

This source[1] claims that the probability of getting hijacked while on a commercial flight is 0.000004%. On the other hand, the case fatality rate of covid-19 is around 2% based on what I'm able to find.

So why are we worried about possible plane hijackings when a lot of people don't seem to be overly worried about something that's many times more risky.

Imagine you having always bought tasty tomatoes from your local farm, and someone steps in to show you studies that determined that the generally tomatoes in the US are tasteless.

I'm also not arguing that tasty tomatoes are taking shelf space away from other fruit.
Fractional reserve banking doesn't apply to the modern economy though, because we no longer use commodity-backed money where the economy is based on shuffling round physical tokens. Money is created by banks lending money when they update your balance.

> This article explains how the majority of money in the modern economy is created by commercial banks making loans.

> Money creation in practice differs from some popular misconceptions — banks do not act simply as intermediaries, lending out deposits that savers place with them, and nor do they ‘multiply up’ central bank money to create new loans and deposits.

> In the modern economy, most money takes the form of bank deposits. But how those bank deposits are created is often misunderstood: the principal way is through commercial banks making loans. Whenever a bank makes a loan, it simultaneously creates a matching deposit in the borrower’s bank account, thereby creating new money.
From experience, I've found that spending most time planning and the rest of the time executing tend to work well, so both have their merits.
This looks pretty cool, well done. It would be cool if you could see average rate of inflation per category per year, i.e. inflation was, idk, 5% for automobiles in 1996. I'm on mobile so I might be blind to whether this is an option or not :)
Which is probably why the US stopped reporting on the percentage of gun crime committed with legally versus illegally obtained firearms in 2004. I bet the data is available, but you'd have to comb through court records yourself.

Even at that point, "legally obtained" still included borrowing one from a friend or family member.

> A lot of draconian measures ease when the panic is over, but shadows of them seem to remain in place, at least in the U.S

I'm not sure I fully buy that. What authoritarian powers were left in place as a hangover from the Spanish Flu emergency powers that governors wielded at the time? Historically, the executive of governments have had _incredible_ emergency powers during infectious diseases crises, but I don't know that I've seen those powers extended indefinitely.

I'm absolutely wary of handling governments unlimited and unchecked power, even in emergencies. I generally agree with your concerns about governments being reluctant to return powers once they're granted. But I do think it's important not to overact and refuse to allow any government action on the other side of the equation.

In the given Australia example, the state is exercising quarantine powers to stop an infectious disease. That sounds...not that novel or expansive to me. Nor does it seem like something the government will have an interest in beyond the pandemic. Quarantines, I think, are a really strong example of an _extreme_ limitation on liberty and expansion of the state's powers that are tolerated during a pandemic but absolutely abhorrent outside of one. It's also an example of powers that almost never are extended indefinitely beyond the pandemic.

> Here's an example of how anti Covid measures are being used to stop protests.

Turning to the cited article, I don't think it supports the position you're stating. The author appears to be discussing legislatures using the COVID emergency as a _distraction_, but doesn't present any anti-COVID measures being used to stop protests.

I'll admit that each of the bills passed and signed are an abhorrent restriction on the right to protest and the right to free speech and assembly. Accepted and granted. But none of those bills appear to be anti-COVID measures in any way. As far as I can tell from reviewing the legislation and reviewing contemporaneous articles, the only connection to COVID was the fact that the public was distracted.

The South Dakota bill for example (https://mylrc.sdlegislature.gov/api/Documents/69887.pdf) doesn't mention "COVID", or "pandemic". The only mention of "disease" is in the definition of intoxication (to explicitly say it is not a mental disease).

The Kentucky bill is similar (https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/record/20rs/hb44.html). It doesn't mention "COVID", "pandemic", or "disease", and doesn't appear in _any_ way to be designed as an anti-COVID measure.

The only anti-COVID measures discussed in the article by the author are praised as a measured and reasonable response. The only "use" of the pandemic by the legislatures was as a distraction.

I do agree that anti-COVID measures targeted at public protest should receive significantly more scrutiny than many other anti-COVID measures.

The built in cross compilation is just LLVM; it's a narrower set of targets than GCC, and a _far_ narrower set of targets than where you'll find a C compiler.

I love Obsidian, and it's exactly what I was looking for. Notion has a slightly different usage for people, so it's not always an easy switch.
He said unarmed people. Those 1000 are mostly all armed.

There were 14 unarmed black victims and 25 unarmed white victims in 2019.

The number of unarmed black shooting victims is down 63% from 2015, when the database began.

The 14 unarmed victims in fatal police shootings would comprise only 0.2% of black homicides.

> it could be that P=NP, it could be that an algorithm exists to factor numbers to primes

Nits but 1) even if P=NP, it is possible that the problems we've chosen have a lower bound on their polynomial-time algorithms that still leaves them secure for the indefinite future (O(n^Graham's Number) is polynomial). Of course, we also don't have any proof of that so your general point stands. Related, 2) an algorithm certainly exists to find prime factors - quite a few actually! - but none that we know of in polynomial time without quantum computing.

Note that a further complication is that some don't have a compartment but literally an indent on the tablet compartment where you're supposed to pour some prewash/detergent and it just gets incoporated into the mixture as it runs down.

“It’s funny that scientists actually thought an ice nine type situation had a minuscule but non-zero chance of occurring”

That without context doesn’t make any sense.

Adding “when they detonated the first nuclear bomb” tells when the ice nine situation could occur, when the scientists were still thinking that is not actually said.

This whole thread has been about people unhappy that “at one time” was left out as below.

“ It’s funny that [at one time]
scientists actually thought an ice nine type situation had a minuscule but non-zero chance of occurring when they set off the first nuclear bomb: the entire atmosphere would ignite.”

Does adding in the implied “at one time” help you see the ambiguity?

Of course a thread will turn contentious when someone bluntly says “ No, they didn't.” when it’s a situation where they aren’t actually wrong about the main point.

Those reply comments come off needlessly aggressive when in reality if they thought the timing was off, the commenter could have said “yeah they did consider that ice nine situation but ruled it out a few years before the first test”. Instead they went on how “no they didn’t, it was impossible because xyz”
Thank you for your feedback.
There are two main benefits:
1. Your resources(especially memory) are free for using other apps like Figma, Emulator, etc. Also, during the build, your machine is workable.
2. Faster build: Because we build the codes continuously in the background, next build will be much faster. Regular Android projects take minutes to build with Buildman will take seconds.

Funny to read this, I used to be a contract musician. :-) I wrote backing tracks for CD-ROMs, little sound logos for companies that long since failed, and audio effects and other tracks to be sold to multimedia content authors.

I knew I couldn't hold a candle to my friend who played in a band on the side, but he's the one who got me the job. I'm glad he appreciated my way of looking at things, and we certainly saw things differently.

He viewed music as enjoyable art for the release of subjective emotional energy. I did too, sorta, but only partially and mostly with regard to listening to music, not making it. I viewed the creation of music as a way to get a specific reaction. To him, that wasn't very interesting. To me, it was extremely interesting. Put specific sounds and textures in here, this guy with a goatee listens and goes "nice", and money comes out over here. Use the money to buy cooler software, learn how to wire a Reason rack together, and repeat.

I think I'm pretty similar with code. I do like to code for fun sometimes (and what I might call an expression of subjective logical ordering & aesthetic), but my psychology automatically swings over to "economic benefit" with just about everything that I do. So I sometimes have to work harder to really authentically enjoy a thing for what it is, but I do that more often as I put on the years.

Another thing about 9-5ers is that work tends to railroad peoples' perspectives about their role if they don't set up really firm boundaries. So they might not be as open-minded about what it means to be a coder/programmer/even-just-a-person-who-types, as you are. Experientially, maybe that's very much associated with pain and suffering on their end. So the discussion is something with which they're well-familiar and maybe pessimistic even, and it feels restrictive to you.

So it could be that it's wiser to ask them about their past, the foundations of their career, the stuff that really got their interests going before they got on the professional railroad tracks. Or just other topics that can be expressed or solved in a programmatic / code-oriented way, without talking about writing code. It sounds like you're a pretty analytical person so this ought to be a cinch.

PS, IMO this kind of discussion is really close to a comparison of "use your own brain and make stuff" vs. "don't reinvent the wheel, use what's already out there" psychology. The latter being more "code as tool toward given set of important ends" than "hey, I really like coding for what it is!" Rather than fight a battle between the two I think you're on the right track looking for a path toward a more inclusive or integrative view.

The last place I lived in - the cooker hood did exactly this, without even the steel wool. We noticed a growing stain on the ceiling and found out there was no outlet, no filter, just a fan blowing the greasy air onto the ceiling. This was a 1 bedroom apartment with one of the ubiquitous "kitchenette"s that are fitted these days, so that landlords don't lose a whole room to a kitchen that exhausted commuting professionals will never use.

Our current place has a proper kitchen, but the cooker hood vents outside directly next to the central heating boiler's intake.

Repertoire of Mathematical Symbols
I work on Flux, and for the reasons you mentioned we advocate for a strict separation between CI and CD, where CI is responsible for building and testing images and pushing out releases, and CD is responsible for production. There is no crossover between these roles, and this makes it very secure.

You use a policy CRD called ImagePolicy to declare what versions should be matched and deployed automatically. You can have them deployed directly to production, or if it makes you more comfortable with your contractors, to an "auto-PR" branch which simply queues them up for a release engineer with the required juice to approve and merge the changes to prod.

There is no deploy job in CI, since the deployment in prod is whatever happens to be on the main branch in the config repo. This is a protected branch which only releng can merge changes into, usually only when the release checks are satisfied. Flux (which scans any image repos) updates those manifests when there is a release, either directly or via pull request.

This strategy I think would be able to address your Security concerns regarding contractors, by reducing the responsibility of your CI system to only CI, and not to handle CD anymore.

This is the subject of my talk at KubeCon[1], although you might not be able to get that from the title, (I'm presenting this topic for a Jenkins audience, but the focus is on Flux and how Flux works) so I'm hoping it should be applicable to a broader audience, certainly inclusive of GitHub users :)

I wonder if there's a bit of a late mover advantage here. If Company A spends $10B on from 2010 to 2020, and $10B from 2020 to 2030 and Company B spends 0B from 2010 to 2020 and 20B from 2020 to 2030, how much can company B copy company A's homework?

One potential advantage Toyota might have is their use of modular platforms - TNGA-K is used for a sedan, minivan, suv and luxury car, e-TNGA will likely be a similar story.
Interesting. I have never run into that. Thanks for the information.
