> parents should have no insight on what their kids are doing unless the kid decides to tell the parent

As a kid this is exactly what I believed. Parents believe otherwise, of course.

I really fear you.
Car culture makes this difficult. Either you make requirements for on-site parking (more expensive; limits housing styles in residential areas) or the neighborhood becomes a parking lot.

Until we have a less car-centric economy, anything more than a duplex will change the character of most residential neighborhoods.
You're also not allowed to simply move to other countries. You generally need to get some type of work authorization if you want to be able to get a job. This isn't available to everyone, and can often require proficiency in the native language.
>but let them actually build it first. By being so critical before it even exist you are only sending the message "we will hate it irrespective of what it actually is because we hold a grudge".

Facebook has already put out positive messaging around what they're building. Is your point that positive messaging, promises, etc. are acceptable to be made but not criticism? That sounds like it'd unfairly skew the conversation to me.

If Facebook had to similarly "stay quiet" until they launched, then sure that's fair. But if your point is that Zuccerberg should be able to talk about how the Metaverse will redefine our connections and usher in a new digital life without criticism, then I strongly disagree.
> I think this digital child managing system sounds moderately dystopian to be honest. I would have hated to give my parents access to anything like this. Kids will of course learn from how their parents behave...

I don't really disagree but we are in an era where children's academic outcomes are based entirely on parental involvement. Scratch any surface of any under-performer lightly and the cry will go up "The schools can't be blamed for poor parenting!"

I think we rarely acknowledge that this is a recent development. Ask most Gen-Xers ( me ), ask boomers, ask greatest generationers if you know any. "How involved were your parents in your schoolwork?". You'll probably get a blank stare - "None?".

I suspect it started with the "Asians are going to beat us" panic from the 80s. They were killing us in math scores and if we weren't careful we'd all be working for them someday. In retrospect the danger was exaggerated.

Now, however, heavy parental involvement is required for kids to succeed. If the kids don't finish their homework - could it be that they are getting to much homework? Nah, it must be bad parents. If they can't pass the tests, could it be their teachers have not prepared them? Nope - the parents should have been spending their evenings going though flash cards.

It only exacerbates the difference between that haves and have nots. If you don't have a parent who can devote time every day to overseeing your education, you're out of luck.

Sounds like you're making a lot of speculation on what you/Elon Musk think humans should be instead of what they actually are.

It's shifting the goalposts compared to your points earlier, which was that human beings could not rely on external motivation.

More importantly, without being accompanied by citations of some sort, your claims about what should be are basically religious/superstitious, and therefore meaningless to anyone else but you.
With 15+ years of daily Emacs usage, I couldn't agree more. It's 50% force of habit, and 50% the few commands (align-regexp! kill-rectangle!), packages (magit! tramp!), or custom Lisp snippets that make every other editor feel inadequate...

Until your Emacs process is hung again, waiting for IO, or can't process a "jump to definition", or chokes on a file with extremely long lines, or the stitched-together macOS dark mode switcher daemon has crashed, ad infinitum.

Yes, it's a race car, but from 1987, and in total disrepair.

This is quite an interesting take about Romantic friendship. It is a spectacle that there are different kinds of perspectives regarding love. As deep and lasting love comes in different terms.
isn't space station 13 infamously cursed when it comes to remakes? There have been numerous attempts over the years (mainly because SS13 is built in a terrible unmaintained closed-source engine with a custom language) but all have failed because SS13 is so mechanically dense.
I'll go technical here:

NYT had a good article about this:

<quote>

His eyes are so dry and sore that he puts drops in every half-hour; sometimes they burn “like when you’re chopping onions.” His night vision is so poor that going out after dark is treacherous.

But Mr. Ramirez says that as far as his surgeon is concerned, he is a success story.

“My vision is considered 20/20, because I see the A’s, B’s and C’s all the way down the chart,” said Mr. Ramirez. “But I see three A’s, three B’s, three C’s.”

No, I'm asking a question and having a discussion, and you decided to jump in with your hostile skepticism that's completely unwarranted. Chill out.
Based on their recent design changes (deprecation of compact mode, for example), they are either not collecting enough telemetry about the affected parts of the UI/UX, or they are ignoring what they have collected for whatever reason. Of course, there is a chance that telemetry confirms their vision, but based on the explicit feedback I've been seeing online, I doubt the rationality of their decision-making at least part of the time.
This is the decadal survey for astronomy and astrophysics for the 2020s. It's a big deal.

The 1980s decadal survey resulted in the Chandra X-ray Observatory (20 years later). The 90s survey resulted in the Spitzer Space Telescope. The one in 2001 resulted in the James Webb Space Telescope (finally launching next month!). And, the 2010 one pushed forward WFIRST & LSST, both under active development, among other efforts.

Here are some other decadal surveys: https://science.nasa.gov/about-us/science-strategy/decadal-s...

And the details of this one: https://www.nap.edu/resource/26141/interactive/

We'll likely cover this in depth in the next issue of Orbital Index (https://orbitalindex.com).
Although the "Evolved Apes" game creators unfortunately did a runner, it seems they did prove the concept. Who knows if it would have been enough to fund development, but funds were raised.

Obviously, you've got a handle on working with/around the SEC security rules, and it seems that being non-anonymous and transparent about the development, raise process, etc. could be quite successful.

It also seems that organizing it like a raise might help, and is plausibly possible with smart contracts. E.g., we will be raising a minimum of $5 million with this raise, if we don't reach that then the sales will not complete — or, perhaps will complete at the starting value (to cover the costs of the NFT raise). So, the offer might be:

buy at minimum of $x,

sale will be completed at top bid price if sum of all top bid prices exceeds $5 million

else sales will be exercised at opening price to winning bidders

Just a start of an idea, needs work.

In any case, good luck!
Sadly you can't build apps that can send notifications on the most popular phone on the planet without subjecting yourself to arbitrary censorship by Apple and a 30% cut of revenues.

You also can't build apps that use decentralized backends that receive notifications on that platform. All notifications have to come from the centralized app developer.

Sharecropping is beginning to be the only way.
Maybe not Honda, the Japanese manufactures blew decade betting on hydrogen. They are now years behind other manufactures who decided in a single meeting (all that is needed) that hydrogen was a stupid route to take.
SS13 will always have a special place in my juvenile heart, and while I probably wouldn't play it today, I'm glad it's being remade. Supposedly the game performs very poorly under Wine, so having a good native version seems imperative for keeping cross-platform play alive.

If you've never played SS13, by the way, you are the ideal candidate to pick it up and play a few rounds. It's mechanics are highly complex and intertwined: some players are wrapped up in a social sim, while others engage in sabotage. Many players are charged with keeping the peace, others are told to sow discomfort among crew members. The whole thing comes together in a beautifully elaborate machine where all sorts of crazy social situations crop up. Everyone is out for themselves, and that relentlessly petty style of gameplay is what got me hooked when I had nothing more than a Pentium and DSL.
This is a bit off-topic, but why are magazines doing so much better in the UK than here in the US? Why is the spinoff UK version of WIRED so much better than the original US version?

Is it just the case that the Brits have more of an appreciation for print culture than we do?
Isn't the Guile effort practically dead? I remember hearing about it 10 years ago.

Plus, even if it's finished, will it get any traction in the ecosystem? Will the ecosystem start moving to it to take advantage of its unique benefits? Who knows?

Tall structures don't end up buried. What happens is that they may collapse and/or be destroyed to reuse the stones so that what's left is low on the ground and get buried.

An amphitheatre may suffer that fate or be low on the ground to start with: It may have been built on a natural slope or in a natural depression.
I absolutely detest Discourse

(1) It's super bloated. It requires a 10x the resources of an old school PHP forum. I'm not saying an old school PHP forum is better. Only that gees! Why do I need to pay 1GIG dedicated machine when a shared PHP host was working for ~15yrs

(2) All the damn gamification that's so effing annoying. I've got enough notifications in my life. I don't need "You posted your first message", "You posted your first reply", "You edited your first message". The only notifications I want are those that are actually useful for me "You got a reply"

(3) Poor design for engagement. I have no data on this but I've never seen a discourse forum be as active as older non-discourse forums. Something about the way it's designed IMO discourages long lived lively topics. Where is the NeoGAF of discourse? Where is the Tigsource of discourse?
Look up central sensitization and hyperalgesia, a side effect LASIK only recently admitted to, and to which LASIK caused me and has made my life hell - and why I know about Jessica Starr, the Facebook support group, and the stromal stem cell research - all things I had to find on my own as the industry is protecting itself, indoctrinated and with no real interest in helping those they harm except for billing you to treat the purposefully mislabeled "dry eye syndrome" - where research not done by LASIK shows up to 40% of people have permanent problems after.
My experience with AF was different. After years of doing all kinds of Fasts (2-12 day, dry fasts, OMAD, 16-8 etc), I experimented with AF. For approximately 3-4 months I did AF with a 1800 Kcal refeed (1 meal). What I experienced was a lot of muscle loss and a messed up metabolism, always starving and feeling like complete shit. It took me about 8 months to fix.

What I surmised is that with AF you don't enter a true fasted state but a gray zone, so it's more like starvation than fasting where a multi day fast (48 hours or more) seems to get you into a state that is muscle sparing.
I'm probably not the first person to say it to you but the "fear" to put contact lenses fades very quickly. Maybe not the very first time, but from the second or the third time, you'll stop to think about it for ever.

> it felt soooo bad!

It shouldn't. You are not even supposed to feel them, in fact, some people fall asleep with them even if they know they shouldn't. If you suffered, even if it was your first try, it's probably due to presence of dust between your lens and your eye, and I agree that this is super painful. But that's not the normal sensation, and that's not an issue as long as you remove the lens and retry after some cleaning.
Really? What other countries offer such guarantee?

I don’t think “hard forking” a browser of all things is manageable, even for largish companies, let alone a few developer team. Backporting all the security patches is a very expensive process.
I think part of the problem with Excel (or clones) is that you can do so much haha. Its such a powerful tool, that you end up doing things in it that it really wasn't optimized or designed for and managing the change history in excel is pretty tough.

But for 95%+ of analysis you really cant beat it.
Come out as a conservative (a real conservative, not a neocon or anything like that) in the tech scene and watch yourself starve.
Historical arguments are stupid. What happened 1000 years ago doesn’t matter now.

China didn’t even show up to the world summit. They didn’t even show up!
Also worth mentioning that "unapproved software" on bank infrastructure is what an aggressive prosecutor would call "felony bank hacking".
Same here. I’ve done both traditional calorie restriction with exercise and now alternate day fasting ADF. And I was extremely skeptical to begin with especially from an athletic point of view.

But now I’ll say ADF wins hands down for its simiplty and effectiveness. It’s 10% of the work/effort and 90% of the benefits.
"reduce the euphoric rush associated with the drug and help prevent overdose"

Doesn't mention reducing cravings. I wonder how effective it would be then. Things like naltrexone and buprenorphine both reduce the euphoric rush and reduce cravings for opiates. And even with both effects, those don't have phenomenal success rates.
I'm probably mid level in my field, I don't bother applying to jobs without salary ranges. I have too many people to interview with so I throw any potential low ballers out of the process early. Lot's of employers are "hiring" but trying to wait out what they see as temporary inflation and in my position talking to them is a waste of time.
Wait. Why is it possible fasting has upsides, but it is not possible it has downsides?
>If it's so easy, do it yourself then?

A decent apartment here costs the equivalent of 20 times the average income. you need to have roughly 25% of the cost for a mortgage to be granted, according to local regulation, which would be 5 times your yearly salary. Try to save that considering that just renting (while you save) will easily take 50-60% of your income.

Even those who can do it will only achieve it after more than a decade of paying through the nose.
Indeed, the idea of "informed consent" is complete non-sense because the layperson will have no way to understand what the potential consequences entail - and personally I was lied to multiple times by LASIK before getting the procedure done.
Hey! We're excited to finally open source Clerk. Clerk is a local-first notebook, built on top of regular Clojure namespaces.

It can take a namespace like https://github.com/nextjournal/clerk/blob/fd79f7504ebffaa279... and turn it into https://storage.googleapis.com/nextjournal-snapshots/clerk/b...

The main idea behind Clerk is letting folks use the editors they know & love and not force them to edit code inside a web browser. (This came to us only after working for a few years on nextjournal.com where folks can edit notebooks in a web browser but better late than never :)

In order to keep the feedback loop fast Clerk keeps a dependency graph of all forms and vars in a notebook to figure out what changed between runs on a notebook and only runs those.

There's no homepage for it yet but Clerk is running a handful of sample notebooks on every commit and building a static website out of them. The latest version is at https://storage.googleapis.com/nextjournal-snapshots/clerk/b...
That's completely reasonable, and I don't disagree with anything you've said. Still not an order of magnitude though! Anyone doing an engine conversion on a project car is burning money anyway, and while it won't be for everyone... 40k is not in the realm of impossible for a lot of the car DIY crowd. In fact, of all the circles I've ever touched on, car mod crowds are probably the most willing to spend ludicrous bucks on an unnecessary project.

Make fun of the rich guy buying $7000 status watches, god knows I will, but there are thousands of relatively "poor" people in every American city spending 10's of thousands on their shitboxes... and I love it.
This is a pretty common procedure that many are unaware of because it largely affects the elderly.

Around 2.5 million ocular injections are performed a year in the US and the busiest retina specialists perform as many as 50 per day.[1]

As many as 11 million people in the United States have some form of age-related macular degeneration. This number is expected to double to nearly 22 million by 2050.

Many patients require periodic injections for the rest of their lives

Why time “speeds up” as we get older (2019)
I found my experience to be the opposite. I had clear mental focus, but felt physically drained of energy the entire time. I did a 3.5 day water fast, with the majority of my fluids from water/tea with salt for electrolytes.

My sleep was pretty terrible up until the last night, when I got a solid 8 hours without waking up once. I usually wake up 8-10 times a night, so this was a huge breakthrough. I also regained my energy on that last half day and felt incredible.

What type of fasting did you do, and what liquids did you drink?
This doesn't acknowledge weekends, which if you have the same 8 hours sleep and 4 hours "not for yourself", add more than 50% to the time you supposedly have "for yourself". (4×5 + 12×2 vs 4×7.)

Which doesn't necessarily change the point, but I'm not sure what if anything the point is supposed to be, and it seems an important omission.
I've been getting these eyeball injections this year. (1 eye, every 6 or so weeks).

Bedside manner of the doctors and technicians is the most important aspect of it. I have a Doc who wonderfully calm and hires a pretty good staff.

One thing the writer doesn't mention is how long all this takes. For me it's usually 2 hours of my time. I go in, get my eye scanned, then dilation drops are applied, then I wait 45 minutes for them to kick in. After that they, bring me back into a room and start applying various things to my eye: antihistamine drops, numbing agent, something to sterilize my eye, and an antibiotic (I think). All the eye prep takes 20 minutes or so. Then the doc steps in to do his thing, and that takes all of 5-10 minutes.

For those curious, you don't see the needle, you end up looking toward the bridge of your nose and the doc comes from the opposite direction. You don't see it inside your eyeball either. You do see the fluid stream in and it dissipates quickly. If there is a bubble in the solution you end up with one or a few black dots floating around your vision, those dissipate in a day or two. You don't feel anything other than a little pressure on your eye. Afterward, you might have some eye pain. This depends on how good of a stick it was and how your allergies are doing. Sometimes you are relatively pain free afterward, but other times it feels like your eye got walloped and your eye will be sore for a few days.
Next they should just pay Instagram, uhm, I mean, TikTok, influencers to promote the browser...

I generally find myself sharper, more alert and with much more energy. This continues the longer your fast lasts, up until day 7ish in my case.

Your noradrenaline levels spike when fasting, and it can make it hard to sleep - too juiced haha.

If you're finding yourself tired, it could be a lack of electrolytes. Try a teaspoon of salt in a pint of water. I tend to drink coffee when water fasting, which has an outsize effect.
hey, just letting you know you're not alone. Difference is I can't communicate with previous devs who left dogshit quality codebase without any sort of documentation.
