"you have to work on yourself, and in that domain there are no easy answers."

I couldn't agree more.

But, if you step back, its a pretty easy resolution.. Do you want to be endlessly troughing at stupid cat pictures, or do you want to make the attempt to understand what you want, why you are here, and what you need to do?

Most people won't take the first step, ever.

That’s the one! Where the heck is it? It’s one of my all time favorite stories, but it seems impossible to find; thanks for the details.
Yeah I think the idea of meritocracy is dangerously utopian. It’s beguiling because as a principle it’s succinct to express and hard to argue with on casual acquaintance. Which is why I describe it as not necessarily wrong. A specific enough definition at a narrow enough view might yield meritocratic results but is useless as a general organising principle even though that isn’t easily obvious.

Your single paragraph also holds a much stronger argument that meritocracy is bad than any of those in the article.

Which is a really long way to say I agree.
What does quick enough mean? How much of the language do you want to learn? As a native speaker I can’t comment on how hard it is to learn the language but working with people that are new to Germany here and there, some of them are amazingly fast at learning the language. Others don’t care too much so they need more time. From the outside it seems doable.
This has most likely to do with the codebase itself rather than with Elixir or Phoenix in your case.

And having to go through a few files to understand how a request is handled is not out of the ordinary in an app, especially if it's grown over the years?
You really should not believe what I say just because I said it, but neither should you just resign all your mental faculties every time you find some forum post that confirms your prior assumptions. Just read critically.
Beyond/impossible "meat" are a mess of extremely heavily processed ingredients infused with a mix of low quality enzyme-treated plant protein broth. Doesn't sound like anything anyone sane would want to touch, but then again most people don't read labels on food, and in some countries (USA) most of the disturbing details (such as inclusion of GMO) are legally allowed to be hidden from the consumers. There's no shortage of reports of these things stinking, bubbling, falling apart, dissolving, and behaving in many other unappetizing ways. Most people will stick to regular meat, which is healthy and delicious.
Correct. You are on the hook for 1x, not 20x, your down payment. This is asymmetric leverage in favor of the buyer.

The third dot point here makes absolutely no sense to me.

Apple music and Bandcamp are essentially the same thing, I personally use Spotify and I don't have to listen to "mind numbing" music. You can choose to let the applications play music for you, or you can choose your own music.

Spotify 10 years ago was exactly how I discovered old/new bands and artists that were not mainstream.

I don't see this persons logic in that regard at all.

Please don't characterize this as a political voices thing. Of course it's _related_, but this instance is about misclassification of private data, not silencing voices online.

Have you seen the kilo prices of editable insects? I can by a pack of crickets for 20 dollars for 26 grams at a domestic online store. There are 453 grams in a pound!

A cheaper option is buffalo worm flour at just over 100 dollars per kilo.

"Beyond" and "Impossible" meats have already undercut insect prices tremendously on super market shelves.
Yeah, redundant will work too. It's an oxymoron because social media.
This just proves it’s even harder. Even if by some insane luck you manage to build something that is very good, the general public still doesn’t want it.

Yep. I ended up just leaving my apps as free because they don't make anything really. They are useful, but kind of niche, so the user base is small.

I have an idea for another app, but I'd have to teach myself some new skills and find the time to build it. It would probably be a $250k-500k idea tops, but that's also niche. Not to mention it would require some physical hardware too.

A better analogy would be if you made terroristic remarks to the sporting goods clerk, and walmart banned you not just from sporting goods but the entire store. Gmail and Google Drive are just different departments of the same place.

But in this case it's just that walmart zoomed in on your notebook with a security camera, saw some arabic scribbles about allah on a tank drawing you were sharing with your friend, and decided you were a terrorist. Sure, they absolutely should toss you out the store if they think you are one, but they shouldn't have been zooming in your notebook in the first place.
I agree. As a vegetarian, I think those alternative products are very good and close enough to meat for burgers, sausages, nuggets etc. How is lab grown meat going to compete?
That is very disappointing. Do they block ISO files too?
The speculation is always my favorite part of these things. Until we know, it could be anything - hacking, DDoS, bad engineering/sys admin, hardware failure, misconfiguration.

We're not automatons that you can throw any random mix of protein and carbohydrates into as fuel, and food choices are not "logical". Being forced to eat insects like an animal is humiliating and disgusting. Regular meat is delicious. Most people will never consider eating bugs, they're synonymous with disease, filth, and poverty.
I don't much like sharing personal fun life events with pictures and a lot of detail on social media. As an example, my family just went on a cruise to celebrate my Dad's 100th birthday (yay Dad!). I posted a very short text message on Facebook and Twitter after the fact. What I did do was create a private photo and video slideshow that I shared with about 15 family members and about 25 friends. In comparison my Brother was frequently posting pictures and text to Facebook during the trip. To be honest, a few friends in real life mentioned that they liked seeing pictures of my wife and I that my brother posted. Anyway, to me, sharing means more when done directly, and instead of getting Facebook likes and a few comments, I had about 15 people respond with more meaningful emails, with a few private conversations starting.

You are right on the money here and I wish more people understood that there is a sustainable path forward using animals as part of the carbon capture solution. When you say you are on the other side do you mean actively working on ranching? It's something I'm very interested in myself.
For my design I don't want that, because then we're just making it even more complex. I'd have to have an HDMI ancoder, then a VGA to HDMI encoder that plugs into that. There's a VGA encoder I've been working on, I don't recall the chip ID but I found it in the Lantronix Spiders I have. I've been slowly trying to build a HAT with that that pipes into the Pi for everything else. Then there is no daisy chaining adapters.
G Suite / Google Workspace / whatever they're calling it this month has generally very good support.

eg I had to fix a domain issue, albeit a domain issue caused by some stupid google stuff, and was connected to helpful competent people within a minute or two. Peers have similar experiences.

The paying stuff is fine.
It would be very difficult to model a financial benefit of offering dedicated support for free products. If you pay for Google One (extra storage), you get access to phone support. I wonder if they would've been able to help in this situation of a locked account.

Hey this is actually really nice to read, and no matter what you end up concluding I think it's good to just put things in perspective.

I totally realize it's harder to get the whole picture for a lot of people who weren't really affected or involved, just like it is harder for me to relate to let's say the current Ethiopian civil war and it's very harsh effects on the local population since it's so detached from my every day life. Even as a Muslim , I'd probably have been oblivious to the war on terror if it wasn't for my parents being very into Arab politics and the family tv always tuned to Arabic news. Growing up with daily reports of bombings, suicide bombings, mothers crying on TV, and just footage of destruction everywhere is what made me realize and process how much misery was brought upon so many people. it got to the point where the opposite of the normal media sentionalism happened and a few dozen people dying in a suicide bombing/drone strike barely made it in the news. the weird part was that it somehow was never ending.from the invasion of Iraq, to the insurgency to the Iraqi surge to the afghan surge to libya to Syria to Isis to... A bit of very relative peace now? I think everyone would've felt the same if they were in the same situation I think. Even many Arabs and Muslims in the US don't fully realize that either. Cheers!

"Those computer guys in the late 1960s / early 1960s were looking far into the future for how computing would evolve, and their predictions were largely accurate."

This is survivor bias — you're familiar with the "computer guys" who made accurate predictions, because they were lauded for being on the right side of history. There are plenty of people who predicted the opposite in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, etc; e.g. there is only a world market for "maybe" five computers (IBM president, 1943); there is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home (DEC founder, 1977); the Internet is a fad and will collapse by 1996 (3COM founder, 1995); etc etc.

OK, so if my company knows how much it's spending on toilet paper for the washroom, but doesn't know exactly which departments are wiping how much ass, then we are not doing cost accounting though we are tracking the bulk expense properly in the ledger.

> The assumption is that other civilizations will converge on some of the same technology that we've developed and recognize a patterned signal when they see one.

Why would anyone think that?

No other species in the history of the Earth has the ability to create human languages. Nobody outside the tiny group of 0.1% of humanity can speak Swedish. No single rock we've observed outside our planet can even understand the concept of a word like "Läderlappen" or "Knullruffs".

Those 10 million people are alone in the Universe as developers and speakers of Swedish just like these 7.9 billion people are alone in the Universe as developers and users of human-like intelligence.

Blasting signals into space is the same as singing ABBA songs really loud: maybe a sci-fi civilization of Klingons who speak a Swedish-like language could understand it, but in our Universe there's no chance that some extraterrestrial thing will converge on the same languages or technologies as we did.

Yeah, this is just the nerd equivalent of being a hipster. It's not even as though any of the changes are any better, they're just different. Which of course means you can then write a blog post in a cool monospace font with your cool domain name proclaiming your nerd coolness to the masses.
You have argued for why we shouldn't be suppressing alternative hypotheses. But you haven't provided good evidence that this hasn't happened.

However a series of high profile articles and editorials have said that we have. For the latest example, read https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/alzheimers-inc-wh....

Given that, I will continue to believe that this area of science absolutely have acted in a non-scientific way.

Yeah, if the existing system is built on trust of doctors who run clinical trials, we have to ask whether that trust scales.

If the system were set up so that doctors would have a lot to lose if they didn't follow the system, trust could work here. We already trust doctors as professionals on many other things...
Metal is irritating because of its exclusivity. Nobody wants to make games just for macOS. The supposed ease and speed of writing Metal is completely lost since you still have to write a Vulkan or OpenGL renderer. It's just more busywork for anyone not exclusively targeting Apple platforms.

> But this already happens for certain treatments. The FDA already regulates a separate category with loose efficacy requirements for dietary supplements and herbal remedies. These medically irrelevant treatments are immensely popular, they're just forbidden from marketing specific medical claims and being actually toxic.

In the US, supplements must be vitamins or minerals, botanical products, amino acids or enzyme products.

Drug companies can't develop a new compound and then try to sell it as a supplement unless it meets those requirements, which it probably won't, because drug companies rarely develop new compounds that are also found in nature or in your body already.
To what aspect of reddit? What value is it bringing you?

I've gradually reduced my consumption to a single subreddit, and even that I only check sporadically. And the less I've used it, the worse its value proposition seems. It reminds me a lot of when I quit smoking.
Realistically, though, it isn't used for other things. Lack of infrastructure is a decent barrier for many things.

Not that I disagree with the last bit - I'm mostly vegetarian save for an occasional fish dish.
Latest example I've seen is the article for Marjorie Taylor Greene. It's under "extended-confirmed-protection", listed as a "Good article". Yet starts right off with the summary, "Marjorie Greene,[3] is an American politician, businesswoman, and far-right[4] conspiracy theorist[5] serving as the U.S. representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district.[6]"

Those kind of abstract accusations do not belong in an encyclopedia article, and while there's a wealth of "citations" buried under the [5], none are anything other than news articles repeating the same accusation. It's baseless mudslinging that is the exact opposite of sticking to provable individual claims and facts, like a proper encyclopedia article should consist of.

Granted, it's not an insurmountable bar as it appears anyone with 500 edits can begin to participate. However, it shows a clear attempt to control the narrative to a specific one, and erecting barriers against changing that while officially endorsing the current one. It spans greater than just that, and seems common across other political articles on Wikipedia.
