It’s a particularly violent strain of freedom that is widely practiced in the United States, notably Texas and Florida who both have wide-ranging legal frameworks to support it, and which values material property highly enough to take life over it even with no mortal danger to the owner. As in, a situation where even a police officer in most places wouldn’t pull the trigger.

The rest of us wish they were in another country because they’re increasingly shaping America in their image. If that’s genuinely America, well, I’m not American. It’s a very powerful realization to have that being born a place does not necessarily make you a fitting member of the place, and that’s the exact outcome those folks want, too. If you interact with those folks and press them on the moral authority given to pull the trigger, you’ll eventually be called a soft pussy and told Canada is open for immigration because they absolutely cannot answer the question (it’s unanswerable and simply wrong).

Apropos: flagged for answering you truthfully and honestly. I took the side valuing life and setting a higher bar for taking it, and in doing so offended at least two people enough to flag a positive-scored comment. What more needs to be said about the horror that surrounds us?

My 10" Boox Note 2 works surprisingly well for technical documentation, as a combination of its size, it's high resolution and its ability to set the refresh of the e-ink display to what you need. Want to pan around quickly? Set full-refresh lower, and it will let you pan around and zoom quickly (somewhat messily, of course) and then full refresh when you stop.

It's quite remarkable. Expensive devices though.
Perhaps, but this sounds like what someone who doesn't know many extraverts would say.

If your default preferred way of being isn't "with other people" -- to the point where you feel anxious when you're alone for any reasonable length of time -- you're probably some flavor of introvert?

If your wood frame house has been on fire on the inside long enough to scorch a wood frame through the drywall or damage the drywall itself, concrete construction isn't gonna be much better for you the owner/resident.

If a California wildfire comes through and ravages the area, your fireproof building will still be there, but the walls will heat soak can and then set things on fire inside a fireproof building.

Yes, but your comment reads as if you were giving feedback. Implication is that the intent was or should be persuasion, and you saying it's failing at that. Anyway, I don't think "I condemn you for X" is an insult of the normal sort where it's ad hominem, even though it would be better and less ad hominem as "I condemn the idea" (as opposed to the person).
Only different is OO languages typically give you an implicit {hierarchical state, logging, OS interfacing}, monad for free (or at least under the generalized async monad), FP makes you request all that yourself.
The problem with the silence technique is when people apply it for normal conversations. Every business conversation does not need to be adversarial, and silence is a control technique used to assert dominance.

When people pull this shit on my teams where inappropriate, they are in the cold as far as I’m concerned. Peers need to collaborate, not conduct themselves like apes.

In a natural adversarial context (procurement, legal, audit) that’s a different story.

Those (blender) benchmarks are interesting:

- The Intel processors with DDR4 are doing better than with DDR5. This is unlike some of the other benchmarks we have seen. What's happening here?

- In Blender, the 12900k impressively got really close in performance to the 5950x ($200 more expensive) and beat the 5900x (similar price). That's... somewhat unexpected.

- I wonder whether their cooling could keep up all the way through. They mention a custom water cooling loop. What is the performance with a 'typical' cooling setup? How much performance is lost if these CPUs have to throttle to something you can expect a typical boxed cooler to handle?

- Will you actually be able to buy these high-end CPUs? Or are they pure marketing that won't be profitable for Intel and will only be available in small quantities?
Nothing wrong with using it to actually prevent word breaks (i.e. "Hacker&nbsp;News"). It's just not the best method to position things on the page.

Don't try to solve all problems with programming languages

The reason why all the questions in this article are too complicated is because they try to solve all the problems in a programming language.

If these problems use the correct structure, it is a very simple problem. In my "The Math-based Grand Unified Programming Theory: The Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow with Principle-based Warehouse/Workshop Model", it is based on mathematical model, operational research, and management science, these problems are very simple.

- Data is centrally managed by the warehouse

- The logic of each workshop is very simple, short, independent, and heterogeneous parallel concurrency is natural

- Use the scheduler to achieve global optimization.

That makes no sense. The amount of thermal mass you have in a home will help even out temperatures between day and night, but not between entire seasons.
How can the author claim in the same sentence, "While dopamine does rise in response to rewards or pleasurable activities," and "it doesn’t actually decrease when you avoid overstimulating activities". So what, it just rises forever from the time we're born until death? Obviously not; something decreases it.

What fad fasting doesn't take into account is that it takes many weeks, up to many months, to downregulate the dopamine receptors. Dopamine fasting one day per week or a few hours per day is literally doing nothing for your dopamine. In this regard, the author is correct. But if you actually dopamine fast for months in by avoiding highly dopaminergistic activities, your brain will really undergo meaningful changes.
Yep. Everything powerful can be weaponized - by other people, by ourselves, or by the scared parts in ourselves which are afraid of feeling powerless.

That depends on how large the half spheres are :)

Since we're all living on a sphere, at some point the difference is moot. I've been in a couple of dome houses and we had a museum here in NL that was built inside a geodesic dome (Aviodome, near Schiphol, since dismantled and moved to Amsterdam:

What I love about the story is that the building was simply dismantled and put up again in a new location.

I despise Amazon, but for most things it would have to be cheaper than Amazon for me to really care. I don't have the time to run elaborate price comparisons or hunt down the best deal on 100ct toothpicks, I buy things on Amazon because it's easy. On top of that, their returns policy is almost universally better than any mom-and-pop store I've dealt with, so unfortunately I reach for the Bezos Box every time I need something.
Yes. They have made it standard practice to push poorly QC'd cars to purchasers in the hopes that they don't notice everything that's wrong with them and just accept the deliveries.

Rust macros run before type inference, and can change type inference in just about every way. They can introduce new types, implement traits for existing types, introduce new variables, and add new type constraints on existing variables.

Rust macros understand types in the sense that they understand which parts of the syntax tree are specifying a type and which are expressions, but I think it's fundamentally impossible for them to understand the actual types of variables.

Ah yes Europe famously the only place on earth you can’t unload a clip and murder someone for stealing the catalytic converter out of your Ford truck lol. Absolutely embarrassing.

Think of all the failure that went into someone making this statement with a straight face. Federal, state, local, moral. Just wow. “Your anarchy is my justice” is the rallying cry of every criminal out there.

The state losing its monopoly on violence is the definition of a failed state. Other places you’re welcome to murder people for stealing from you are likely Somalia, parts of El Salvador, the Sudan, Western Sahara and uh, I want to say cartel controlled states in Mexico. Not exactly sterling examples of well run areas. Even there it’s due to absence of state control, not outright abdication.

When someone's statement/question speaks for itself, don't speak for it.

I think the article missed the point.

WeWork was following a traditional (and valid) business model, but they managed to get Softbank to value them as a tech company. That valuation was unwarranted, and ended up with Softbank losing a ton of money.

Without Softbank's money, WeWork was nothing, but none of those five lessons relate to how to find a deep-pocketed VC willing to give you billions of dollars to grow a low-margin, capital-intensive, non-tech business.

It seems absurd to suggest any of the lessons are applicable outside the the very specific time and place of WeWork's initial growth. "Just be confident you can raise a billion dollars for a bullshit idea and it'll happen" doesn't work if there's nobody handing out billion dollar investments to people with bullshit ideas.

> Sandy generally has great commentary on the auto industry. He's quite genuine

I'm sure he does (I say that sincerely). But he's also the same Sandy who was very anti-Tesla until his wife got one and he put a whole lot of his investment portfolio in TSLA stock.

> There are many drivers on the road, many of who make the road unsafer.

Many of those drivers may make poor choices, etc. But we're not touting them as role models or desired behavior. FSD is meant to be better, and is still _actively_ trying to do things that are dangerous to drivers and pedestrians.

> If FSD beta is better on average, then the roads are getting stepwise safer.

The sheer amount of stupid decisions I've seen from FSD on YouTube etc. is shocking. The only thing more stupefying is watching people actively "allowing" it to do stupid things for "views", their own inattentiveness, or for some misguided notion that they're somehow "contributing" to "training" the car.

Like pro tip: When your car has run a red light at the same intersection the last three times, don't let it do it a fourth time just "to help the project". That's irresponsible, reckless and outright dangerous.

Tesla flat out refuses to release any statistics that would actually be able to prove, or disprove, an actual fair comparison of the safety of FSD/AP. Instead we get these cherry picked miles driven where AP is touted as being safer - on the (unspoken) subset of miles where it didn't disengage because it couldn't drive or the driver decided it was safer to disengage because of the AP's driving, versus "human drivers, all miles, all conditions".

There's (relatively) few accidents for human drivers on well-painted, well-maintained roads in the California sunshine. And similar for AP/FSD.

There's a lot more accidents for human drivers on poorly painted and maintained roads in a Pittsburgh winter. And there would be for AP/FSD too, if it wasn't disengaged a large majority of that driving.

But Tesla happily lumps the sum of driving of "Human drivers in California sun and Pittsburgh winter" and says that mile-for-mile, AP/FSD is better because it had fewer accidents, even though most of those miles were accumulated in the California sun. Anyone who completed high school statistics would know this wasn't a fair comparison, but Tesla has pushed it for years.

No, I'm arguing that the right to protect property is the same sort of social construction that the value of human life is.

Without a layer of social construction, it's just the use of dominating force, an exercise of power. If you want to argue that is how the world works, that's fine, but you are demanding that other people justify their social constructions and then assuming that your social constructions are not social constructions.
You are under the mistaken impression that this is the Ford company foundation. It was chartered from the personal wealth of the ford family, so it has a relationship to the Ford motor car company that is closer to the relationship between the gates foundation and Microsoft to use that example, and not a "Microsoft foundation".
It is. It's also more than that.

Writing is a communication medium.

For some of the reasons we want to communicate, it's the perfect tool for the job. For some of the reasons we want to communicate it's a bit rubbish.

Writing is extremely abstract. It has less of a connection to our subconscious, it's a long, long way from the real world. Humans are creatures driven by human shaped, in person interaction.

Quieter cats love writing for exactly that reason, the emotional ups and downs are much more mellow.

I find though, many people use writing and other tools as a band-aid for how they deal with their emotions. Instead of exploring them.

Instead of seeking, enjoying, laughing, crying, being curious about at all the joys of life, they use multiple abstractions to control their emotions.

Rather than throwing themselves into an emotional whirlwind and growing as a person, they throw up safety barriers. They never figure out how they, themselves actually work.

They'll happily devote years of their lives towards optimizing language compilers, without even thinking to learn what makes the Mountain Dew compiler tick.
> The Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill already recognises all animals with a backbone (vertebrates) as sentient beings. However, unlike some other invertebrates (animals without a backbone ), decapod crustaceans and cephalopods have complex central nervous systems, one of the key hallmarks of sentience.

It’s not that lobsters are being lumped in with octopuses, it’s that they are both being given the same treatment as anything with a backbone. That’s a pretty diverse group.
I've noticed this phenomenon grow over time and it piqued my curiosity: if the Muslim way is more representative of what Americans would like to live (ie. executing criminals), why do they vilify Muslims?

I'm not trying to take away from your argument, just curious about this thing I've noticed over time
Tesla's valuation is influenced by hordes of retail investors who believe that any day now, their Tesla vehicles will receive an update that will turn them into FSD robotaxis that will generate income for them while they sleep.

Ford doesn't have a funny meme man/CEO on Twitter making promises about their products to millions of retail investors that will never pan out. The dumb money just isn't there to drive up crazy valuations.

The IBM 1401 had instructions for reading a punch card, printing a line on the printer, and punching a card. It also had an instruction (Write, Read, and Punch) that did all 3 at once (this machine had no channels/DMA, so this was how you got overlap). I'm told that watching a program run was funny: the machine would sit silent, then all 3 peripherals would spring into action, and then there would be silence.
