Of course they don't steal anything from you.

They just preserve your precious little soul.
To your best interest.
Which may coincidentially be in their best interest.
A friendly customer service, because you happen to honour them using their products.
And, if you're lucky, even in the best interest of people that do protect you against evil forces out there in the dark.
From time to time they may look into your precious little soul lying down on the ocean ground in an underwater Microsoft data center, to see if all is well with you.

Think about it, sometimes you yourself don't know you're part of those forces, but Microsoft and those other people might know.
And they can help you.

They are like shepherds to their flock.

Some may call it customer profiling, customer-retention or even vendor lock-in, mass surveillance and other ugly terms, but I tell you it is love.

Yes, pure caring and love.
You may not understand that at first.
Like Apple had to learn bitterly recently.
But I tell you, in the end, with their help, there will be just shiny happy people around you.

Amen.

Their north star should be taking market share back from Google, not getting sidetracked with these piddling income schemes or anything else. It is worth so much more to them in the long run to break Chrome’s monopoly than anything in my short term. So if privacy is what people want, give it to them now and figure out monetization after you’ve beaten Chrome.
Still is in rural America, which is a little less than half the population.
I agree. More and more AI applications are exploiting our data in negative ways.

I will get proper terms soon as possible. Especially, since now people have mentioned it.
Firmware in RAM is loaded from distribution packages, which also goes through a trackable process. There is a continuum here with frequent firmware updates being extremely dodgy (why can't they get it right and release a stable version), and infrequent updates (eg CPU microcode) being similar to shipping one image in "ROM".

Furthermore, I haven't seen any device that actually ships significant (ie non-bootloader) firmware in "ROM". It's usually in flash, meaning its contents are mutable but less legible to the Free system than if they were loaded every time by a Free driver.
Definitely a common mindset, particularly of gen x and generations prior. I know I have it. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if someone born and raised outside the us came away with this impression after living here for a while.

Honestly when I read the headline my first thought was “six stitches? Crazy glue is cheaper…”

Banks have been discriminating against certain behavior for a long long time.

For example, I had to close my Swiss bank account (I'm Swiss) when I spent a lot of time in the US (no green card or residency there).

I'm not out to defend traditional banks here, just saying that this is not something specific to crypto.
Go use something else? There is no replacement for YouTube. If you think Instagram and TikTok are YouTube competitors then you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

They're only competitors in the sense that they compete for human attention. Long-form content, tutorials, etc. are non-existent on the platforms you mentioned.

I'm 65, retired. I'm more physically prepared now than when I was younger and busy with work and kids. I have time and money now. I see plenty of other backpackers in their mid 60s, but hardly any backpackers in their 70s. I've been doing a lot of backpacking in recent years because I know my time is running out.

I just got back from 11 days hiking in the Grand Canyon. My left knee hurts, so maybe time is running out...
It really comes down to how often you have to use it with a mask on these days.
If it wasnt obvious, the pandemic demonstrated beyond any doubt that the distribution of decision making power in society is completely broken. The nation-state in particular is way too dominant and distorting, especially when you have a bunch of self-absorbed "meta-nations"

Think about governance as a spectrum, we need it to be more flatly distributed, from the smallest unit (neighborhood dealing with local issues) to the largest (United Nations dealing with collective threats)

Ah, you're right. I wasn't remembering the details exactly. But the burning material that falls is the skin and can be better fireproofed to let the hydrogen escape upwards.
These data are fascinating, but I would've liked more of the socioeconomic skew. I grew up in lower middle class area, and I can recall many gay men that didn't pursue academics beyond high school. They mostly went on to service industry jobs. Even after I graduated, the gay men I met after college at bar environments mostly worked unskilled jobs, and due to my location, many were current/former military. It could be that gays from better off backgrounds have a slightly higher propensity to complete college.

Bill Maher breaks these every night on both sides pretty much, so I try to think, if they won't protect Bill Maher or Larry Flynt's words, they are not going to protect mine.

"Contributions are not false, inaccurate, or misleading." - So mainstream news can't use it either - that's a bonus.

Housing price collapse in the USA. It will be the 2008 collapse all over again. Everyone is predicting further increases with the same gusto as someone living in 2006.

There's something in this explanation, or else FTL communication would be possible. Place synchronized atomic clocks at receiver and at the loop of the wire, send bit by connecting or disconnecting the wire at the loop, receive bit by checking whether bulb lights up at the same time.
"Mental Health" is at present the watered down and washed out Jung vs Nizje, and an incredible "I WILL CRAM THESE MEDS DOWN YOUR THROAT" drive. It is a purely fascist neo-neo-liberal institute, with no redeeming qualities. By that I mean to say; it is not respectful of citizen or individual. The only way it is appreciated, is neo-neo-liberalism; where 'economic reality' becomes it's own meaning, not bugged down with theories or aspirations. You are unlikely to be a worker drone, so it doesn't matter. You cannot explain the relationship to bank statements, have another dazzler, and see you neo-liberal your way out of court ;)

Going 'we collected information from the relevant group' is not the same as introducing "bias".

I seriously wonder if you thought a second about whatever a representative group would be, with respect to you personally. Is it a group of college students? Is it all from a certain nation? Does it use economic credits?

All research out of the "Q&A" style is rubbish - it's not what the language center is supposed to do for the human being, to accurately enter itself as a row in a data table. The base/substrate for such research is slot between sheer fantasy, unvalidated self-perception and neat frequency/group statistics.

Seems like people who know the term 'microdose' may also know about self-incrimination, Teh Sekret, or something on such a scale.
The comments on this are very binary. Depressed or not. And everyone has their threshold (temp sadness, debilitating, chronic)

I remember when we used to think of depression as a spectrum instead of discrediting people that struggle, even if their struggle isn’t the same as yours.

Is this another example of polarization of society maybe?

That's pretty good. How many times were they able to predict the same downturn?
I'll preface this by saying that I don't want to invalidate or diminish your experience, this is genuine curiosity. If you can't get up, have weak muscles and no motivation, how do you do morning exercise and stick to a plan? I feel like pressure that something has to be done could be called a form of motivation, but again I'm not sure.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m a little hesitant to upload something now. On the flip-side, I think devs just want total protection while they navigate the landscape of machine learning. I agree that they could have worded things better but someone who worked on writing this probably didn’t understand the nuances of machine learning or the countries that people would be signing up from. Plus they’ll need to constantly use datasets for their internal purposes to train.
The studies published by people who are really into ESP and paranormal ideas are annoying like this.

It's an exercise in making papers that look like they have vaguely decent protocol and statistical methodology, but arrive at insane, obviously wrong results through cleverly non-obvious, intricate flaws.

Like the Underhanded Code Contests, but for research.
That requires a lot of upper body strength, which isn’t common amongst people who would tend to need assistive technology in getting upstairs.

Moreover, it doesn’t have a reset mechanism, in case you’ve used it and gone upstairs, and then someone else needs to use it.

It also requires carving a vertical shaft into your house, so that you can place the equipment.

HashiCorp S1 – Amendment
As of Windows 10 (haven't tried on 11) it asks if you want to log in with a single app, or the whole user account. I think that's great. Contrast that with Apple, that forces you to login to iCloud (and link your computer's serial with your iCloud account) whenever you log in to the App Store, and requires an Apple ID to download free apps from the App Store, AND enables all iCloud sync options on by default whenever you are logged into iCloud (i.e. you login to the app store, now by default your Stocks, Siri info, Contacts, a bunch of app preferences through iCloud Drive, now get synced without any consent).
I can’t wait to see what the experts at hacker news have to say about this!

I think this is dumb. But I also know the vast majority of people are very different to HN devs, and MS could make a lot of revenue with this.
Meanwhile nearly every corp on earth supplies their employees with windows laptops. So besides being shitty moneygrabbers, there's no way you can avoid them.

IMO Microsoft is actively working to make computing more horrible.
How dare you soil my single-sentence belief with this filthy nuance.
Excuse me? You are saying someone else's depression is not "real depression". Who's diminishing whose suffering, here?
I think there's a sort of epistemological or at least methodological question here. The article states a top-level finding (gay men get degrees more often), and brings up a hypothesis rooted in individual experience (a memoir where academic achievement is way to compensate for difficulties in measuring up to standards of masculinity or parental expectations).

But how do we ever validate that such a subjective individual-oriented hypothesis is explanatory for the group trend as a whole?

Though the "best little boy in the world" hypothesis sounds plausible and aligns with some anecdotes, it's probably not alone. E.g. different individualized explanations might be:

- college is a socially valuable ticket towards mobility that lets gay men find their communities, possibly relocating.

- the particular othering experienced by gender non-conforming boys encourages introspective habits of mind which are later useful.

It's not the kind of thing where one could feasibly use experiments to validate or refute a hypothesis ("we raised group A in an environment of homophobia and toxic masculinity ..."). And even in terms of data collection, it seems impossible to meaningfully dial in to a finer grained level of detail on a broad population. It would seem a bit preposterous and even callous to put on a survey "on a scale of 1 to 7, do you agree with the statement 'As a child I felt that masculinity was inaccessible'?"

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

I discovered interesting people like Lex Friedman, Sean Caroll, Eric Weinstein, through Rogan's show.

Granted, I don't watch JRE anymore but back when I did I found it to be a gateway to people I might not have discovered otherwise. To me that was useful.
> Descending is a bit challenging for my brain to understand.

You would typically descend by rappelling, but it is possible to descend using two prussiks:

1. weight prussik B / unweight prussik A

2. slide prussik A down

3. weight prussik A / unwieght prussik B

4. slide prussik B down

5. repeat

I've never seen this done with two prussiks, but a similar sort of thing is done with two ascenders when rope soloing (e.g., to practice a single move over and over without re-rigging each time).
If they want their brand to be trusted they need to be constantly making good value judgments.
Banks don't give a damn about you, if it was up to them they would let you do whatever , even paying for the stuff you could buy on the darknet.

The huge problem is that they are subject to these things called laws and fines and government pressure.
> Does the idea of a race even exist in one's mind in a non linguistic form ?

Yes, especially in visual form.

Yes. But if they have the cash and bank hours are open, why not just get the cash out?

I even offered to meet them at the bank. They were scamming.

The target is the unaware seller, who has no recourse when the funds magically disappear from their account. They are out whatever goods they had for sale.

It is not typical to take down the license plate or copy the drivers license of someone buying something from you.
It depends. For who think outer dimension is important, length (longer edge) would be most important. For who think grip is important, width would be most important because reachability to opposite edge is matter for many use cases, but reachability to top isn't so much (on Android) unless too long.
I find Changelog podcasts (https://changelog.com/podcasts) very high quality.

Tl;dr - Old experts cannot distinguish between historical/economic cycles vs. Paradigm shifts that break those cycles.

Nice theory, but adjust your scale over a thousand years and innovation has yet to usurp megacycles of boom/bust, war/peace or the rise/fall of "empires".

We may be better informed than we were in the 1700's, but we are no less partisan in our views, speculative in our ventures, nor vulnerable to geopolitical storms.

Using one of Housel's examples - high PE equity ratios are indicative of excess liquidity in the system chasing speculative yield; a subset of which excess liquidity is capital fleeing China for the West (or) A federal reserve & US Treasury committed to ensuring Boomer retirement assets are not wiped out in a market reversion to a historical mean. High PE equity ratios are not indicative of any underlying fundamentals that justify the majority of these prices.

Yes, Tesla _may_ be an exception _if_ Musk's innovation convergence strategy is monetized as its investors hope. But for every Tesla there is a Nikola, and for every Moderna a Theranos.

What do old experts (old farts like me) know that Housel may not? We've lived through about 8 recessions, three economic crisis, one bout of epic inflation, and we've watched change, ignorance and greed greatly disrupt or destroy corporate behemoths like Lucent, Enron, GM, GE, etc.

We know what is coming. We just can't tell you precisely when.

Housel's temporal sense appears to be stunted. And, yes, he does (as he stated) sound arrogant.
This was my first thought too. In lower social classes being openly gay is much harder.
"It's hard for me to imagine every single university getting on board with this"

Think for a bit how many things that were hard to imagine 10 years ago are now common place in the corporate world. Social conformity pressure is a real b*tch. The best we can hope is that the occasional larger-than-life professor will be left alone to teach his craft the way he sees fit. Pray that your kids have a chance to meet one of them and the wisdom to subject themselves to the gauntlet.
No it doesn't, it operates off of Bluetooth and the title is disingenuous
I'm another Todd that does the same thing, and I too have noticed that I no longer get chest colds.
No, size matters quite a lot when it's the large institution enforcing norms. If you're openly gay and your church hates gay people, you can stop going to church or go to a different one. The smaller the church is, the easier that is. If you're openly gay and the USSR hates gay people, you're probably gonna get murdered.
I was expecting some direct quotes as promised in the title. Disappointed.
From first hand experience, while it worked, several times the boot manager got nuked, and either I lost Ubuntu access, or had to repair windows to get back into the system at all.

That said this was back during win7, the cobbled together solution may be more stable..
