This is interesting to me. Your description of metta is very similar to one aspect of how I... guess I must have been taught... to pray. Not that I do that much these days. Not even sure what I believe. But I could.

The main difference seems to me to be the form of speech. Rather than using the subjunctive ("may they be safe"), here the "second person" is more explicit; you are using a kind of supplicating imperative to speak with -- well, God: "Please keep them safe." Feels funny to say out loud, that you're "talking to God". But there it is.

There are also the established, formulaic prayers, of course. But the theme of forgiveness is big there too, like you hinted at. The most obvious being in the Lord's Prayer, which includes "forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us". I assume these lines are famous, but, y'know, not everyone grew up with the same tradition; it may be worth me saying it here.

I've begun to think mantras have a real effect. I know, for example, a person who used a mantra to overcome a fairly minor personal issue. That was a good enough thing to do, and was for personal ends.

Well if mantras work -- are the prayers of Christian tradition really so different from them? What does it do to you, to repeat every day a prayer, one of whose stanzas is about forgiveness? Presumably it changes how you think? Maybe that's a good thing?

I may yet return to religion. The older I get the more sense it makes. Without it you end up thinking other things, which maybe you wish you didn't.

"Right thought, right speech, right action." These affect thought.
I honestly don't see how Facebook is any worse than Google, Amazon, Twitter, etc. Google can destroy a business by changing its algorithm or censoring a result and collects just as much information as Facebook, often vastly more personal. Amazon owns the entire logistics space. Twitter often makes partisan decisions when it comes to censorship and gives voice to propaganda outlets from the likes of the CCP, Taliban, etc. I think a lot of people want Facebook to fail simply because it seems more expendable. I would like to see news traffic numbers when Facebook went down for 7 hours, I bet there were some painful hits on traffic.
>High earners pay an effective tax rate of > 50%.

Musk has not paid any tax because he hasn't cashed out any of his stock options yet. Some of his options will expire next year so he will pay tax then, but I am sure California will get the lion share of the tax revenue (as Musk lived in California up to 2021.)
I assume they're better after skimming your long and arduous propaganda talking points, mong.

> You just need a passing understand of computer architecture and registers to understand that. And if you want something didactic

I'd say I'm just the only one here not pretending I'm not abrasive. This was abrasive from the start, and every comment has been abrasive.

> Look, lots of people like reenacting period dramas and doing things like renaissance faires. But period drama and RenFaire folks don't act like they're doing fundamental research.

Honestly look at this. Do you just want me to be abrasive in your special style instead? Should I make sure I patronize everyone subtly? Is that the end goal?

If you think that computers are solved, that you have to do some specific thing to research computers like use Linux, or run Docker, or get popular, you've missed the mark.

There's no reason you get to decide what research is because you came up with a funny insult, and if you're saying people can't learn more about computers by using them, you're just a gatekeeper.

> And let folks have opinions on the way OS research should work without calling them names.

Are you kidding me? You just literally wrote that it's comparable to the renaissance fair instead of research. How can be you so hypocritical?
Usually native speakers would prefer the adjective rather the noun in these cases ("I am Japanese", "I am American"), or the prepositional phrases ("I am from Japan", "I am from the U.S.").

Where we don't have a subject pronoun to which the adjective can be attributed, we would usually supply "person" or another noun referring to a kind of person ("A Japanese person told me...", "Any Chinese person would readily recognize the meaning of hundreds of kanji based on the influence of hanzi", "My friend married a Japanese woman", "My mother goes to a Chinese acupuncturist").
That’s already happening.

It’s what prosperity looks like under capitalism.
The automotive industry is 100+ years old whilst Bitcoin is only 13 years old, so you can't fairly compare them on the basis of "who would notice".

My previous skepticism of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency was due to short-sightedness. You almost have to dip your toes in, in order to understand its potential.
Yep, just sound. And you don't even know range, you only know how strong sound is on a particular bearing.

The Navy trains to do a series of maneuvers that helps you understand the range to the ships you do hear, and positions the sub most safely to come to periscope depth. And then while you're coming to periscope depth you're looking out to see if there are any indications you've screwed up. But yeah, there's nothing visual available when you're under the water.
When CEOs move, they often move their headquarters closer to where they live. Somehow Tesla managed to survive all the problems of California until shortly after Musk moved to Texas. Folks talking about the advantages and disadvantages of California vs Texas may be overthinking this.
If someone is running a meth lab on the property only accessible by your private road, and you know about it...you're complicit in the crime. Also, because of Cloudflare's reverse proxy you can't see who their host is, and with private registration you can't see who is behind it all. You have to go through a huge legal obstacle course just to prevent your customers from being scammed when Cloudflare could literally just flip a switch. Google will remove scam ads from its platform, though it doesn't host the websites behind them...it's basically the same thing. It's a means of operating the scam.

For "English" and "French" we would usually add "-man" or "-woman" ("an Englishman", "a Frenchman"), although people have worried for some decades that the required qualification by sex is too specific.
> A home-cooked meal for me takes at MINIMUM an hour. Prep, cooking, eating, cleanup

As you cook more at home, you get much faster at it. Especially for recipes you familiarize yourself with. It also becomes less of a chore as it requires less focus and you can do other stuff (listen to music/podcast, chat with your SO/roomates) while cooking.
Easy fix: just have powerpoint training on not overworking your sailors and protecting sleep. For all hands. After waking them up with a fire drill.

Do elaborate.
I was feeling sort of confused by me feeling like Valve and Epic were not supposed to be in that list.

But it’s because I have a choice. I can choose to use Valve, or Epic, or nothing at all.

Hell, I can even choose never to use the Nintendo store, and just purchase plain cardridges.

The same is not true for the others, but especially not for Apple.

Not sure. I wouldn’t draw a comparison between Austin’s infrastructure and the bay area’s.
I'm not so sure about the "offensive" angle - it could be the other way, that is, first Japanese as a noun stops being used (for some reason), and then because of that, using Japanese as a noun starts to sound weird, and then offensive.

Americans have had plenty of racist/hostile opinions against Mexicans or Russians, yet "a Mexican" or "a Russian" remains totally fine.

Tesla employees lots of people who pay income tax.

Capital gains is taxed on the residence at time of sale, not time of purchase. So if Musk sells when he’s not a resident of CA, he won’t pay CA taxes.
Yeah, the 400sqft thing is his on-worksite cabin, not his home.
Even a single filer with an AGI of ten million dollars has an effective California tax rate of 13%
This being Texas, I suppose Austin has fewer restrictions on new development, so housing prices may be less crazy. To say nothing of taxes, which leave more of your wages to pay the rent.
The real moral failing (not in a serious light) of living there is that you’re funding the Bay Area landlords.
1 person was killed by injuries upon impact.

But there was one piece of equipment on board that normally runs for ~20-30minutes at a time. It had to run continuously until the ship came into port or the submarine would have sank and 130+ people would have died. They got VERY lucky everything worked out.

They're talking about Austin in particular, not the entire state. I found this to be an interesting read:

This would just indicate to me that he's a fraud and all his political posturing is just cheap words compared to the real action of being a part of such a toxic entity. (And no, there's no fighting for reform from within in a place like FB.)
It’s not as simple as knowing that they’re using the road. In the US, they are forbidden from using the road only if you have denied them access to the road through either clearly posted no trespassing signs at quarter mile or less intervals or notified them either verbally or in writing that you are denying them access, and if no easement protects their access through your property to theirs, etc. So you would not only have to know, but have good reason not to deny them access other than to ignore or protect them of your own uncompelled free will.
I'm fascinated how private companies just casually decide on what truth is and what is not.
Compared to states with comparable infrastructure but less tax.
Japanese is worse because of smartphone environment. Most Japanese people use "Flick Input" to input Japanese and Alphabet characters on smartphone, that's totally incompatible to Qwerty. Meanwhile most Japanese people use (and be taught) Qwert Input to input Japanese and Alphabet character on PC. Flick input is really useful, but it's not good to be familiar with Qwerty input on PC.

Add to this, we tend to don't need PC for life (but is needed for office work). Nintendo and Sony is headquartered here (technically SIE is now HQ'd in the US but most people don't know) so PC gaming isn't a huge thing (but now it'S growing). Tax filling isn't needed for normal sararyman. Urban homes are tend to small. Schools are really behind for everything. People tend to not good at English.
There are some really great public schools if you can afford to live near them, but that's certainly not true on net. Otherwise California wouldn't consistently rank among the bottom half of US states for public schooling.

Personally I don’t want compression. I want five days a week of 3-8 hours of work each day. I fill the rest with family stuff, piano, hobbies when they pique my interest, chores, etc.

That is, I think the flexibility is more valuable than concentrated time off. It enables me to follow the flow of life.

Alright, last attempt. I never said anything about other traders being in the same liquidity pool or whatever you think I said. Let me spell it out.

Let’s say I want to be a market maker on Binance, in both BTC/USD and ETH/USD. Let’s say that I have a strategy where I can provide $5m in liquidity to each of those markets (i.e. $5m of orders for other traders to aggress) for a total of $10m of liquidity. But because most of the time those orders are just resting unexecuted, it turns out I actually only need $1m in capital to run my market making algos.

In the DEX example, if I want to provide $5m liquidity to a BTC/USDT LP and $5m to an ETH/USDT LP, I need $10m to do this.

So to run my $10m liquidity provider on a CEX I only need $1m whereas in order for an AMM to provide $10m in liquidity, it needs $10m in capital.
"should not affect WebGL" is probably a better way to put it. (No software has no bugs or unintended consequences...)
CA already came up with a convoluted way to tax even that: https://www.upstartwealth.com/blog/will-you-owe-ca-tax-after...

And yes indeed, the taxable event is vesting, it indeed happens outside of ca, and yes CA still intends to tax you! They will even come after you in another state for it, after you permanently move out.

!!!
Austin already has plenty of homeless people, and the #s are quite comparable to san jose for example - they are just more visible in the bay area due to lax rules for them (plus weather).

This comment section is a classic case of engineers who think they understand crypto because it's digital, not realizing that Crypto is primarily an economic innovation. It's ok to admit you don't fully understand something sometimes.
I think the exodus from California to Texas is overblown. The choice is between

Earn above average salary and enjoy good weather, politics, and outdoors.

Earn a median salary and enjoy okay weather and lower taxes.
Does the median family own their house? If not, then property taxes are not a relevant issue and if your argument is “median income tax gains are offset/overshadowed by median property tax losses” then you’re just wrong.

That 4% will only go up over time. Per the article they’re only stopping a select demographic for Pfizer.
That's not actually true - California will probably consider this California income because he earned it while in California.
How much has California subsidized his companies?
Isn’t any equity he is awarded for the period of work he did as a tax resident of California, taxable in California, regardless of whether those gains are realized today or in 20 years?
As long as you consider changing the school name to be a great use of effort.
I think OP meant Tesla's workforce being the overly-taxed. Maybe it's easier to recruit talent there?
I think you are overestimating the ease of breaking in. Out of 800 job posts in the ask HN hiring thread this month, only 2-3 mentioned they are willing to hire junior devs.

This is a biased data set of course but you will see similar patterns across the board. Even people with degrees, it's getting hard to break in because most companies have realized that hiring senior developers is better value for money.

In tech, you are also constantly tested regardless of how many years of experience you have. This doesn't happen in other field at the same frequency so you don't get to slack off if you want to switch jobs.
Yeah, I was only talking about Austin.
This is incorrect, the property tax system in Texas should allow market forces to guide housing development. I grew up in Austin, the city is literally 3x the size when i was in high school, but unlike they Bay Area, they are building a ton of housing, and have since the 90s, because it's not profitable to just squat on undeveloped valuable property because of the high property taxes.

You look at the skyline from when Dell was founded, and look at the skyline today. It's been non-stop residential housing development, and it's only accelerating. The current squeeze is sizable, yes, but the market forces are working.
Good politics is subjective.
I don't want to sound like I'm boasting of having a large vocabulary but those words don't strike me as out of the ordinary for the reading level that The Economist targets (generally university/college educated).
Well, I find it to be a consistently reliable source of Linux ISOs. It does feel awfully like storing gunpowder in the Parthenon, though; it feels like it deserves better. Much like the Parthenon, it also feels obviously designed for an earlier age.

Sure it's technically scalable, but it's pretty noisy even now. Without some revolution in client design I suspect most groups would roil and gibber uselessly like the surface of an imageboard, if subjected to hyperscale-y traffic.
You have my sympathies if indeed you did have a severe adverse reaction from a Covid vaccine. I say "if" because honestly, anyone can say anything on the Internet. That doesn't make it true.

But let's assume it is: by itself, it's basically irrelevant. What you've presented, if 100% true, is an anecdote. These situations need to be looked at in aggregate. To start with:

- How common is it? Is it 1 in 10,000 or 1 in a billion? What level is acceptable?

- Is the likelihood of adverse effects related to Covid risk factors? Example: this submission is about the prospect of an elevated risk of myocarditis for young recipients of the Moderna vaccine. Well, that's also an issue for people who get Covid. So the vaccine's adverse reaction may go hand in hand with an elevated risk of severe Covid outcomes due to the same underlying risk factors;

- How does the likelihood of severe vaccine reactions compare to the decreased chance of severe Covid outcomes (eg being on a ventilator, long Covid, death)?

- Factored into the above, what about the improvement in outcomes for the population as a whole from having a sufficiently large number of vaccinated people (ie herd immunity)? This also includes people who genuinely cannot get the vaccine.

- Not getting the vaccine clearly increases severe outcomes from getting Covid. Based on the data, this is undeniable (eg 98-99% of Covid deaths are now among the unvaccinated). Being unvaccinated means you increase the chance of needing expensive medical treatment. It may also mean using up a bed that's needed for something completely unrelated to Covid (eg a heart attack).

On the last point, I guarantee you you'll be dealing with medical professionals who essentially have PTSD because they have to come to terms with the fact that they've chosen who gets to live and who gets to die because there simply aren't enough beds.

But sure, never mind that. There's a one in a million chance of an adverse reaction so screw em, basically.

Maybe, although I would imagine Tesla's the premiere destination for fresh triple-star college graduates that don't mind taking a pay hit to work for Tesla (and burn out after 3 years.)

Or California's housing market is just too fucked. I think this is more plausible than the income tax too high theory.
Specialness fascinates me. And the pointless rituals that goes along with it. They have a strong effect on us, which in some sense makes them not pointless. Like placebo, inert in itself, but effective because we make it so.

My first CO believed that submarines should be stealthy all the time. He didn't put out the radar ball (a retro-reflector to account for the low observability of the sail relative to a submarine's size) or turn on any of the running lights.

We operated that way even when steaming on the surface in the shipping lanes shared with the Port of New York.

So it isn't always a matter of "actually knowing how to pilot a boat". Sometimes its just plain recklessness.
That's true. But leftists are entrenched in Austin as well at the city level. I suppose, at the state level, once the state flips blue, the "default"/status-quo position will still be more low-tax/low-regulation, and that's an advantage for Texas (again speaking from a libertarian view point; I understand you won't agree if you share a different politics).

It still seems to me that Austin will converge to SF, given enough time, given that the people in both cities believe the same things, and in only a few years Texas will be blue.

The title is kind of misleading. It makes it sound like she actually went to canada and was then immediately kicked out, but she did not actually go there at all. She was denied entry before she ever went, she’s contesting this, and she was invited to participate in some weird legal procedure where she would have been told that she’s “inadmissible to canada” and then thrown out. She attended the procedure virtually instead.
