Perspective helps. If you are not wanting for money and have time, and assuming you’re in the Northern hemisphere, pack some chicken/turkey/beef/falafel sandwiches, socks, hoodies, and toiletries. Pack a similar meal for yourself. Get some hot coffee. Leave home hungry.

Find a homeless person. Tell them if they’re interested you want to share a lunch with them while they tell you their story. Doesn’t have to be the story of how they became homeless, just any story they want to share with another human being.

Many homeless are invisible and feel like less than human because they can go months before exchanging an authentic conversation with another person. For a social species like ours, that’s a torturous existence.

You might not feel less like a useless parasite, but for that moment, for that individual, you objectively made a difference.
Meh. At least it should be able to translate "let's fuck". Which it "translates" incomprehensibly at the moment. If anyone from Yandex is reading this: eggplant and water spray is the correct translation.
> Consumers actively choose walled gardens over free alternatives.

This is the specific thing that customers are prevented from doing. If you want Apple's hardware, whose processors are faster than Qualcomm's, you get Apple's App Store. If you want iOS instead of Android, you get Apple's App Store. If you need iMessage, you get Apple's App Store. And no other.

It's not a separate choice. If it was, what it would look like is multiple app stores on iOS, and the choice would be whether to use any other than Apple's. And then tons of people would use the other stores, especially if Apple continued to reject apps people want.
I don't feel it's misleading; a nuclear weapon is much more than the warhead.

Nuclear weapon delivery systems have been the most important part even since the first ever atomic bomb. The B-29 Superfortress that dropped the bombs on Japan cost about 1.5x as much as the Manhattan Project to develop[1].

Every discussion of arsenals I've seen focuses on delivery more than warheads [2][3].

Additionally, I can't speak for France, but in the US, the warheads are produced/refurbished in government-owned, privately managed and operated facilities. That's to say, the likes of Lockheed-Martin, Northtrop Grumman and Honeywell have all the operational knowledge and access, but technically Pantex is government-owned.

> Thus given f(A ⋂ B) = f(A) and f(A ⋂ B) = f(B), you only know that f(A ⋃ B) is constant if A ⋂ B is non-empty.

But this is wrong. Given f(A ⋂ B) = f(A) and f(A ⋂ B) = f(B), you do not know that f is constant, regardless of whether A ⋂ B is or isn't a non-empty set. poetically described a completely different and obviously false claim instead of the actual claim made by the false proof.
This experiment from Den is cool.

And then you've lost all your data cause an SD card was not rated for extreme write endurance. You repeat all that using better SD card or just a cheap PC with an SSD. You add backups.

Then you realize you need to access this setup while away from your home. You add port forwarding.

You run an audit to check if the system is secure enough so script-kiddies with a port scanner are not able to access your 'cloud'.

Then you realize your router is not so reliable. You add a watchdog which will reboot it once the connection becomes unstable.

Then there is a power outage. And if before you could just access all data using 4G on your phone, now you cannot. You add UPS to all critical parts of your home network infrastructure.

...

And it goes on and on. It is doable, but doing it well requires a lot of time, planning and resources. It's hardly feasible not only for a lay person but for 'power users' as well.

Second: check your diet, sleep and health. A good mind needs all of those in proper order. See an expert if any of those is not in place.

Third: Do you work part-time/full-time? If yes you are already contributing something to the world. If not, are you a student? You will have to chart out a path depending on your current status.

people with no baseline really have to start by building hobbies. I do believe Peterson discusses that, I’ve seen something attributed to him along the lines: “every day try to pick up the heaviest thing you can”

That said, I’m not super familiar. I think generally habit building is what I’ve seen work and be recommended.

Also join a community and say you need help. That’s effectively what churches are well positioned to assist with.
Demystifying USB-C and Thunderbolt Docks (2017)
I would bet it is some ML model to detect fraud. This model will never be perfect – it will have false positives. My guess is – while picking the precision/recall thresholds for blocking users, someone higher up would have argued it is okay to cause some false positives to prevent a lot of harm.

And they would have justified to themselves saying there's always recourse through customer support. But customer support tools to investigate and un-ban users would be slow and painful and lacks capabilities needed to check if the complaining user even passes the basic smell tests for a fraudster. And nobody can really explain why the model blocked the user in the first place. There's no well-lit path from CS to engineering on a case-by-case basis. Escalation would happen in bulk/batches – when lots of seemingly 'innocent' users complain to CS, CS may escalate to engineering.

Btw, the alternative of having to pick really conservative thresholds (with near-zero false-positives) causes more harm – harm that's more visible.

The slippery slope is this – over time the definition of 'trust and safety' would have been expanded to include interests of more and more stakeholders (including company's own business interests) – it is very easy to lose sight of serving the user (who may not be the paying customer).

Ah ok. Seems to be some misunderstanding with words.
It strikes me as a problem that can be solved at scale by scaling up their support staff and not automating blanket bans without human intervention and an appeal process.

If they ban a bot, the bot will be unable to proceed through a manual/human appeal process.

Not everything can be automated and arguments that scale make it impossible implies that the organization has become "too big to fail" and should be reduced in size by regulation/law.
The depressing bit is that they can make a rational decision to weigh that cost against the amount of money it takes to keep people happy (vs doing nothing). Not that I support it, but they might be following the financially superior option. There's a lot of incentive to get that answer "correct", so I suspect it's currently working out in their favour, even though it sucks for those of us caught on the shitty side of that equation.
There isn't really any one thing, its been a combination of having a support network that understands, figuring out what I care about and working towards that, sharing with my brother, being grateful for the little things in life that I took for granted -- depression and feeling shitty, especially in current times is more common than you'd think. I don't really want to air my laundry in an open forum, but I'd be happy to chat more with you over email or a phone. Hell, if you're in the Bay Area we can even go grab a coffee, beer, or boba...

Agreed on that point. When too many services fall under a single umbrella of “[Company Name] Account”, the loss of access to the account as a whole because of some kind of transgression on one sliver of [Company Name]’s services is just a fundamentally bad approach.
Nevertheless, "gewunken" is wrong. The correct conjugation is "gewinkt".
What I've found interesting this year is the response of the "average" US person to inflation - by which I mean somewhere between panic and grave concern.

Whereas where I live inflation has been in the 3-6% band, give or take a bit, my whole life. At the moment it's near the top of that band. And to be clear people here have complained about it my whole life too.

But inflation has 2 interesting attributes. It devalues savings (so instead encourages either plain spending or asset-other-than-cash accumulation, and it also devalues loans.

In other words it intrinsically encourages things like home-buying, (mortgages can be used here as savings accounts as a store for savings, thus saving interest and offering effective rates same as your mortgage).

Hyperinflation is bad, but we're not talking about that.

And if you are on a fixed value pension then sure, it's getting smaller. (hint: avoid fixed value pensions, that always ends up being worse than you think.)

In short inflation is not good or bad, it's just a part of life that offers a bunch of upside for those that keep their eyes open.
Sanskrit is one language not many different. It is like saying Bavarian German aka High German is different language from Hamburg German - they are both German. So there is and will be difference between regular speakers with good grammar vs occasional speakers with poor grammar. I run in these issues when I speak basic Sanskrit with Gurukul based students.

The source of Sanskrit and Sanskrit influence is the Saraswat Valley civilisation around 6000 BC. Some recent books have done radio carbon, Sanskrit literature, astronomical charts, climatic events and genomics to validate the time line. The central Asian language influence is migration out of India to Central Europe & Volga referred to as Uttar Kuru.
Laws should force an extreme balance in regards to company-customer relationships. Right now companies get most of the benefits: they can sign up new accounts and charge money very, very easily, by the millions, and yet if anything goes wrong they can basically ignore you or make things very, very, very difficult. That’s just insane.

“Balance” basically means that if you’re going to set up a business that can “easily” take money from millions of people or “easily” create millions of accounts, then you must ensure those people can “easily” reach you, “easily” inquire about status, “easily” cancel things, etc. What we have now is just absurd.

This very much reminds me of the following story told by Joel Spencer regarding Ramsey numbers[0]:

> Erdős asks us to imagine an alien force, vastly more powerful than us, landing on Earth and demanding the value of R(5, 5) or they will destroy our planet. In that case, he claims, we should marshal all our computers and all our mathematicians and attempt to find the value. But suppose, instead, that they ask for R(6, 6). In that case, he believes, we should attempt to destroy the aliens. [1]

Although Ramsey numbers are computable, they are really, really hard to compute exactly, and we don't have great upper or lower bounds for them, either.

Edit: I found the version of the story that I was more familiar with that had a 1 year time limit on it[2]:

> Suppose aliens invade the earth and threaten to obliterate it in a year's time unless human beings can find the Ramsey number for red five and blue five. We could marshal the world's best minds and fastest computers, and within a year we could probably calculate the value. If the aliens demanded the Ramsey number for red six and blue six, however, we would have no choice but to launch a preemptive attack.

Yes, I also think it has nothing to do with base case and general case, there is just a flaw in the argument. When arguing that h2 also is brown one assumes wrongly that there are other elements in the reduced set left.
I'm not mad, I've still got my keys from 2014-ish. I only made a Coinbase account after a finance teacher in high school heard that I dabbled in crypto, and bet that he could build a better-yielding portfolio than I could. I logged onto Coinbase, spun up an account with $20 in it, and invested in Chainlink and Ether. Nowadays it's worth ~350 dollarydoos, which isn't absolutely necessary to retrieve. Honestly, it was worth it just to watch his enthusiasm crumble when his 30% APR high-risk portfolio paled in comparison to some dumbass high-schooler's prediction.

My apple ID is applesucks@my.tld and I never give them my card info, never have. I've only been given apple shit, I haxor it and load all the apps I want. I could download any movie or song I want but I don't because I pay a streaming service and wouldn't buy a digital item unless I can download it. I have been in tech a long long time and this was always the way. Somehow people got snowed into thinking they own something on someone else servers ahem serverless which is absolutely not the case. Have you heard possession is 9/10ths of the law and they own your contract, and according to their thousands of lawyers it's Real and ultimately people with guns agree. It's an absolutely retarded position we've put ourselves in, I will enjoy the day apple is forgotten, like Compaq or DEC.

I don't blame Amazon here. This is suspicios. All debit cards are linked to your bank account which always have a statement.

Also, I have found it very helpful to provide not just statement but the photos of the card, your ID and various other documentation in the PDF. It helps the support engineer realize that you are really you.

The other annoying thing is that even if you get the right charger and right cables, you might only get power delivery for certain devices.

E.g. a charger + cable combo that works fine with phones and Chromebooks, but plugin a Dell laptop and nothing happens.

Same with older Mac chargers - they'd not do anything when I plug my phone in even if they charged laptops ok (or at least this was the case a few years back)
The real problem is that these companies have silently just become foundational infrastructure for a modern society. They aren’t some random private optional service. They were private disruptive innovation at one point, but because of their immense effectiveness, power, and influence, they are really more like public utilities. Our laws don’t recognize that yet and we need to start talking about this more to make it so.

Hmmm wanna send me some money?

I don't have money, and I may not be as miserable and unhappy as you, but I also dream of making a contribution. At the top of my head I've been wanting to do the following:

- Guide local undergrads in learning web dev. Giving them access to quality learning materials means a lot, let alone letting them access free linux servers (there are $5 cheap ones at hetzner / digitalocean / vultr but I was thinking if I could maximize those by using firecracker vm's which was used by fly.io)

- Create a local startup community platform. Our local community have a sub-par index of the local startup ecosystem and its resources, could use a lot of organization.

My work doesn't pay a lot, I don't have inheritance, I still struggle on bills. But I guess any man in my position would welcome some free beer and cigs money, hahaha.

Realtalk: if you're sitting on your hard-earned money, I don't see any reason to feel bad about it. If you're sitting on inherited money, maybe it's your parents' fault for giving you too much of a safety net. If you can't manage your resources efficiently, maybe the challenge is finding that person that could execute those well for you.

Lord Kelvin once said, "if we can't measure it, we can't improve it". What are your metrics for your impact-focused pursuits? At those two examples I've given above, my metrics are 1.) amount of undergrad developers we get to help each quarter, and 2.) amount of new local startup founder / employee we see each quarter. What are your metrics bro?

And what drugs are you on, uppers, downers, psychedelics, deluriants?.. Reminds me of that Alan Watts guy who said "If you get the message, hang up the phone.". Ain't saying they're good nor bad, but what's your end game with that? Maybe try dropping them for a while to get some clarity? Haha, ball is on your court
Certainly it wouldn't feel better, but what i was implying that no amount of money has cured my misery and unhappiness
