Crypto currencies are great for paying people whose names and banking details you don't necessarily know. I've used them to pretty good effect to date and the fact that they have all the drawbacks of cash and are used by criminals too doesn't diminish any of that.

The best interview technique I've used (in addition to all the relevant skill/tech part) was "Tell me about a hobby you're into in your free time?" And then ask follow-up questions.

I think it worked because (1) anybody can talk about their favorite hobby, (2) it relaxes people, as they're the expert, and (3) it demonstrates how much of a self-starter / -learner they are.

The best hire I ever made was because the person worked on their motorcycle and explained the mechanic stuff they'd done during the interview.

I was comparing the candidates afterwards in my head, and was hard pressed to imagine someone who worked on engines for fun in their free time, and wouldn't also be able to do this job. Hired that person, and they were amazing!

Allowing site owners to declare zero-karma could nullify the market pressure. The site owner would be saying “let people post my stuff, but don’t give them any karma for it”:

That could have a side effect of promoting commentary blogspam about the original post instead but dang et al are pretty quick to swap out those links for links to the original material, which would then pick up zero karma.
Well google don't sell behavioral ads to user, they sell to companies. Without extensive knowledge and experience, companies executives are more likely to lean for behavioral ads even it's more expensive or inefficient.

About UPI: The standardisation of payment interface is done by a corporation called NPCI. It’s an initiative from India's central bank (RBI) and it is non-profit. [1]

This means that a private player's implementation does not become defacto standard.

Multiple factors are aligning to make UPI successful:

1. Massive Mobile (smart phones) & Internet penetration

2. Cheap mobile data from telcos

3. Low cost of payment infrastructure to the banks and shops.

4. Fast clearing of payments (< 5-8 seconds)

5. Neutral standardisation body with blessings from the central bank

Sample size of 35 and mindfulness is not novel or new. It probably does help some people. However, a huge grain of salt should be taken with any diagnosis illness/disease being due to stress or psychosomatic. Some doctors immediately jump to this after doing very little due diligence and diagnostics. It should be a diagnosis of absolute last resort.

This is where the healthy skepticism part comes in. Going all out woo or quack isn't what I'm suggesting, and I'd agree that that's even worse than being too closed minded. Crystal healing doesn't work and people shouldn't try it.

But if something sounds sort-of plausible, has some tentative but low quality evidence, and it's low cost and low risk, and it's not going to distract you from more proven treatments, then just try it out and see if it works. A small handful of people won't even go that far because of dogmatically orthodox thinking, and those are the people I'm addressing.

> To assume that someone can solve a debilitating problem that affects millions in hours by selling you a book is probably in 99% of cases a scam.

If it's psychosomatic pain, there's legitimate scope for a self-help book to actually improve things for them. Also why wouldn't we expect practitioners who have been hands on with clients for 20 years to not have picked up some useful tricks that didn't make it into peer reviewed studies? I feel like your statement here is too heavy on the skepticism, even though you're right that there are loads of books that are quackery. There can be learned wisdom built up through practice that isn't peer reviewed.
As well as noise (I'd presume it sounds somewhat like a leaf blower, particularly given the video has no actual sound of the drone), I'm wondering what sort of interaction it would have with floor/walls/ceiling in tight spaces (this would be true of any drone). And if there's dust (as hard-to-get-to places tend to accumulate), what impact that would have on, among other things, the camera/lidar.
You could also just have a bank account with money denominated in USD or Euros or something.
Ah, so it's marketing then. Got it.
Understood! As I noted in my comment, the book I recommend also stresses the importance of the fact that most chronic back pain is "all inside yor head" and tries to give some relief by making you understand and ruling out most of the possible non-psychological sources for such pains. I highlighted the self-massage thing only because next to understandting my condition, that was the single most important tool the book gave me to deal with the non-psychological components of my pain. But this might not have been totally clear from my comment above, I am sorry for that!

It's a historical use still common in some contexts. I agree that being clear on the definitions being used is important, including marking explicitly where definitions may be different from what the reader is familiar. But it's not a definition dragonwriter has simply invented.

I was one of them. I thought panic attacks were some stupid made up thing for weak people, same with anxiety and the rest of them. Then it happened to me. And it affected so many things you wouldn't believe, from chest pains to fatigue to brain zaps to esophogal tremors to stool color even.

I will gladly eat crow, I'm only admitting as much because I understand how easy it is to dismiss psychosomatic ailments. When you don't have any to worry about, it's nearly impossible to begin to comprehend. I liken it to ghosts...some folks swear they've seen or experienced them, but I don't see how it's possible. I half expect to be proven wrong on that, also.
Thanks; it does really feel like they're pushing the "Apple puts 'ads' for its own services in its own apps" (something...every...app..does?) to distract from the fact that iOS offers extensive privacy controls. Their employer no doubt finds the increasingly strict privacy controls pretty annoying.

Apple offering a lot of functionality that "competes" with their cloud services really takes the wind out of their "APPLE IS TRYING TO FORCE YOU TO USE THEIR CLOUD" nonsense.
I managed to recover from ME/CFS 20 years ago (with no symptoms since). It was entirely through psychological/behavioural changes that I was able to recover.

>actually there's some kind of physical dysregulation going on

The only replicated findings are with the HPA axis (the stress system). There are some studies pointing towards impaired mitochondrial respiration due to reduction in the link step between pyruvate and the TCA cycle. However, if you take a quick look on google scholar, you'll see that that link step is downregulated by the glucocorticoid receptor (the stress system again), so that would seem to be the likely cause.

There are also some studies showing reduced work capacity after repeat CPET. But again, the HPA axis influences CPET performance, so that is a possibility there as well.

The point is: just because there is "physical dysregulation" doesn't mean it can't be caused by stress or psychology. That is literally how the brain works (if it didn't, we wouldn't be alive and conscious). Psychology is intrinsically linked to the immune system, HPA axis, autonomic nervous system. Psychological stress has been repeatedly shown to cause neuroinflammation, cyyokine release, impairment of the parasympaethetic nervous system, to name a few.
> Disregard for minorities is generally frowned upon by human societies, isn't it?

Not really, it is relatively recent development in a limited set of cultures/subcultures.

And even in those cultures, it is not just any minority but a marginalised minority.

> I think it's totally doable to build something performant

Again, no one cares, they are performant enough to deliver experiences they want to deliver and there’s no incentive to do anything “better”. Better in quotes because “better” depends on priorities.

Just to clarify, I’m not saying it is good that we’re in that situation. I’m saying that reality is what it is and that I don’t see any stimuli for it to change in near future. Even death of Moore’s law didn’t help

This is not necessarily representative. Leetcode interviewing is so common now, it gatekeeps many companies.

Try being a Lebanese or Turkish or any of dozen African countries with hyperinflation.

Only the rich in those countries managed to exchange their local currency for foreign cash in time, everyone else saw their life savings vanish in front of their own eyes except the very few who converted their local currency to crypto in time when they saw the chips falling.

BitCoin allows kind of international currency bank account for everyone and anyone who needs it for minimal cost.

That besides the large markets for illegal goods, which is another cornerstone that's not gonna go away any time soon either, with people more or less being forced to buy crypto to get their goods.

macOS does this too. For now it appears mostly possible to disable, although disabling some parts may require you to set up a DNS blackhole.

There's also some software on macOS that you simply cannot install without an Apple ID, because the App Store is the only way to get it. And setting up an Apple ID on macOS doesn't just require an email address, but also a credit card (with billing address) and a verified phone number.

That Apple can seriously be considered a user privacy-oriented company by anyone is a pitiful joke.

Yes 8note, exactly.

Can't really "Run your own website" without filtering out the unsafe hosts.
If you don't march to the beat of the drum, then Google, AWS, GoDaddy, MicroSoft, likely CloudFlare, IBM, etc will shut you down with little to no notice. & they're big enough to pressure others to do the same.

Thus, an underground web is needed for actual discourse.
I'm talking about the readable sentences. The one you labelled as "an awkward way to speak" was unambiguous. The phrasing it seems you preferred was ambiguous. Personally, if I have to write the sentence down and the consumer of the sentence can't ask questions to clarify, I prefer the unambiguous wording. Ie, say exactly what you mean or you may not get what you want.

A button in Apple Pay that says "Add an Apple Card" is hardly even an upsell.

The author is an iOS developer for Microsoft and this piece is basically "APPLE BE EVVIIIIIIL!!!!!!!" shrieking. Their employer's operating system is incredibly invasive with its "telematics", and oh by the way, bundles a shitload of MS and third party junk nobody wants, constantly pesters you to use their browser, etc.

Microsoft is annoyed that installing MS Teams, Skype, etc on an iPhone doesn't give them heaps of information about you. This piece is part of their war to get people onto Android, which is literally purpose-built to collect data on its users.
Yeah, Numba usually delivers on its performance promises when used right, but can be such a huge hassle oftentimes as to make it not really worth it.

I loved the SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip players I owned during past years. They needed to be reflashed with the RockBox firmware (but tbh pretty much every portable player firmware is inferior to RockBox) however hardware wise they were fantastic: light, well shaped, buttons in the right places, very readable display despite the small size, audio was excellent, FM reception too, battery lasted hours and hours. I brought them on the beach and kept them running for hours while sunbathing or walking like 1 meter above sea level, and they worked for years. I had to ditch them eventually when the headphone jack began to fail, but that happened when the battery had already became old and other buttons unreliable, so repair which was often destructive was out of question. Unfortunately SanDisk cut corners in later models (less RAM, smaller CPU etc.) and RockBox became harder or impossible to install, so I got a much cheaper Agptek player, which can't run RockBox as well but costs a fraction, and that's it.

Probably the biggest hurdle is psychological; if you come at it with the mindset that Linux is the One True Way To Do Things(tm), which it isn't and never was, it'll just frustrate you. It's a different lineage with different design decisions and assumptions. Think of it as traveling to a foreign country with a different language and customs.

If it's an option, you'll want to use the enterprise or even server editions. The home/pro editions are squarely aimed at non-technical consumers and, as so many have complained about, do things aimed at preventing them from shooting themselves in the foot, e.g. forced updates. (Speaking of which, I never have a problem with them because I manually check for updates once a week when it's convenient, the same as I am required do for my Linux boxes, so I never wind up in a situation where a forced update interrupts my work. Again, you need to think differently about Windows.)

You have access to both WSL2, if you need to do Linuxy things, and PowerShell, which has inelegant syntax (IMO) but is quite powerful and will give you similar CLI-based control over the workings of Windows if you invest the time to learn it.

Beyond that, you haven't said what you're using Windows for (coding, office apps, games) and in what context (home/work/school) so it's hard to give advice beyond that.

I'm currently lining up a surgeon to do a nerve decompression surgery, which took me 1.5 years to find a surgeon who even does the surgery, for what took me 15 years to learn on my own is something called piriform is syndrome - for which no other doctor or specialist even looked into relating to "sciatica" pain for which it can mimick; it's no wonder many people suffer without resolution, most doctors don't seem even look at known possibilities.

The mind can also be strong, so it seems you may be able to teach some people who's mind isn't too disabled or interrupted by their pain level to engage more strongly to overcome and mask pain signal(s) coming from their body and therefore "heal" it simply with mindfulness.
