I don't think that any of that is really practical or would work.

The only solution I think would work is both very simple and very hard.

Convince people that they are responsible for their health behaviors, and have the power to change them if they want.

This is a very heavy lift because most people have been indoctrinated to believe that they are powerless to enact change, and purely products of their environment. This is reinforced by a host of organizations that profit or gain power by people believing this.

Doctors, therapists, governments and others can help people make changes, but can't do it for them. People need to take responsibility for their problems and implementing solutions in order for any help to be effective.
I use wireguard/iptables for this.

I have one small VPS with access to wireguard network, wireguard rule to forward certain traffic to a virtual machine running on my desktop, fairly easy to setup tbh (and I add/remove devices constantly). I am not a networking person, my understanding of iptables is shaky but I also ran a similar setup with Nginx. Could also use TailScale, but I found the wireguard CLI very easy. Straightforward to add more networks and isolate stuff from each other (tbh, I only run one network that doesn't isolate my web-facing stuff from other stuff I run privately...as I said, I am not a networking guy so have no idea how bad of an idea this is given that the only way in is traffic on certain ports being forwarded).

That's not always true either. I moved as far away from the city as I could, while still remaining close to my job, friends, and family. I chose my particular, because they already had zoning laws against high-density housing on the books. One of those was, no buildings over 6 stories. Now all of a sudden, they're allowing buildings up to 36 stories, and I get to have one overlooking my back yard. This isn't what I signed up for.

AWS Outage Grinds Amazon Warehouses and Deliveries to a Halt
I think everyone's TicToc experience depends on how the algorithm sorts you. I know that if I open it up right now (which I won't since I should be working and the app tends to distort time and fast-forwards 2 hours of my life) I am almost certain to get a person with a guitar, banjo, piano, accordion or whatever in a 1-2 min snippet with them saying "I just wrote this little tune this morning ...". Alternatively, I almost never get any dancing at all, maybe 1 out of 100 videos. I also get a lot of music recommendations, like a "best 20 indie albums you've never heard of" compilation.

On the subject of the songs not being a differentiator, I completely disagree. The songs themselves are memes. People use them to signify the type of video you are watching (or to attempt to subvert your expectation).

My "datacenter" is on the top shelf of a closed closet. This is in an apartment and the ceiling that is just above the server is heated (heating of the neighbor above me). There is a fiber ONT, switch, router, a raspberry and tower computer ("the server")

The ambient temperature is 32-35°C

The temperature of the disks is 38°C (ssd) to 49°C (hdd), the CPU cores are 27 to 34°C (not sure why there is a difference, it is one CPU).

When I put the computer and other equipment there, I was concerned that the temperature would be unbearable. I am positively surprised.
It's not a flawed question - the question might be better worded, but it basically asks: where are the situations where the cost/benefit of blockchain is positive versus the centralized version.

Psychological Testing, yes. Psychometric, no. For example screening for autism is effectively a Psychological test (https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/screening.html) However its still easy to abuse/confuse/project into wrong diagnosis. In autisim you don't really get a number to determine to tell you that you are 55% autistic.

In some cases, "psychometric" tests used to determine specific issues work in clinical settings. When executed by a trained person, in a way that is not obvious to the patient. However even then, its not actually clear cut. Its very difficult to put a metric on something that inherently requires a subjective judgment.

They can be used in the emergency room to asses patients for self harm risks. However they are only really a stepping stone to more indepth testing.

Psychometric tests as used outside of clinical settings are deeply flawed, easily manipulated by both candidate and setter. They are a brilliant way to discriminate against any type of person you don't like.

I agree, practice is key. Interviewing is a skill, sure some people are good at it, and that's great for them.

I am not good at interviewing. I have very little confidence when interviewing, and I get super nervous. I get better when I warm up, towards the end of the interview. The only way I do better is when I practice a lot, keep a schedule, exercise before the interview, and usually I need a job-support group to help. It's an effort.

World Inequality Report 2022
Those subreddits sometimes become a really small echo chamber, and it's obvious its just a minor fraction of a genres listeners. I think everynoise.com and your ears is a way better initial genre exploration tool than Reddit even for genres that have been out there for a while and are still popular and being produced.

For the genres I've been listening for a while or jamming to with my rig Reddit is usually underwhelming and I have more success by starting on everynoise.com or Beatport (which I generally dislike for discovery because their gatekeeping of genres is bullshit) and then listening to new stuff that the label for the artist I found is putting out.

What I mean to say is, the average person is certainly able to write a better Tweet or take a better Insta snap than that same person could reasonably create a pleasing snippet of audio worth sharing. That would be true even if they took the time and effort to learn to use even the simplest iPad music production stack.

No? The reasons Bitcoin is useful for open-source intelligence are the exact same reasons why it would be a terrible choice for those use cases. I hope the the CIA isn't dumb enough to have their spies use cryptocurrency that leaves a public record the Chinese Ministry of State Security can trace, now or in the future.

Bitcoin does not provide privacy, since any opsec failure, now or in the future, will compromise it.
I pay taxes on my car and gas and licensing as well as tolls. If you believe I don't pay enough by all means propose how I should pay more in a way that both the affluent and less fortunate would support. I will be happy to entertain how I might "pay for the roads I use".

In a similar light, I pay property taxes on the land I ranch. I'm a software developer but I raise beef cattle and horses. Please let me know how you propose I pay for my massive land use outside of the taxes I already pay.

1. News isn't worth paying for when the race-to-the-bottom has already occurred. How do you persuade people to buy things which are basically free and can be viewed even without ads?

2. For many events, it's not the writing I care about but the information. IMO Google realizes the difference and bets on information over writing, whereas NYT still wants to sell writing. All publications which are trying to stop Google from scraping their information are basically insisting that their copyrightable storytelling is being ruined by Google's information extraction.

3. For general news, I often don't know what I want to know. This is where news aggregation is way better than individual outlets, at least most of the time, with exceptions going to specific domains like food or games. If WION gets the exclusive interview, then WION is where I want to go and everyone else is just re-reporting. News aggregation also allows you to take in a sense of inter-rater reliability on a per-story level. But this is all playing into Google's strengths.

Given this, I don't understand people saying this or that outlet sucks; for example, does Buzzfeed News suck? Just the name alone makes it sound like celebrity news gossip. But then once and awhile Buzzfeed News gets an exclusive interview (such as on Palantir matters), and guess what, I want them to show up on my aggregators.

This sounds very self-blaming. Are you sure that's what's really going through your head? Personally, when I get avoidant like that, it's because of anticipation of the amount of process-related pain I'm going to have to endure as a result, and it's much easier to focus on a fix when I'm not also trying to coordinate escalation policies that I'm not familiar with.

> It would be very frustrating if it was rounded

To your point, 33.33% is rounded, it isn’t 1/3. But, at the end of your operation, the result is going to be rounded and clamped, so there are many workflows where professionals are going to want to see the rounded “actual” values. Being able to input 1/3 is valuable, and being able to see the precise result is also valuable.
Yep, text looks nicer in 4k. So what? 1080p is still plenty workable. I remember the jump from my 1024x768 CRT Sony to my first LCD monitor (I think it was 1920x1200?). Now THAT was an upgrade. 4k is just trivial in comparison. I for one intend to use my 1080p monitors until they die and cannot be fixed.

How about "SiliconCompiler is a silicon build tool (unfortunately) written in Python. It allows you to drive RTL synthesisers and simulators and their associated tools (e.g. layout visualisation) using a declarative project configuration file, also (unfortunately) written in Python. Examples of the tools it can drive include Verilator, Yosys, Vivado and Spice. Its function roughly similar to that of CMake for C++."

Assuming that's roughly accurate I think it is way clearer. You can remove the (unfortunately)s if you like. :)

Append `/releases.atom` to any GitHub repository, and you'll get an RSS feed.

Example: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/releases.atom

You can add that to your email client, such as Thunderbird. You get the releases and the release notes. I use that for our dependencies and I read the release notes. I also pull the repos and read many commit logs and diffs to predict the direction of these dependencies: if I see a lot of "movement" and "activity" in a category, I can fairly accurately predict that there will be more and I can shape our engineering effort that way.

Example in Thunderbird on Ubuntu:

- Click on the menu

- Click New

- Click "Feed account"

- Enter a name "My project's dependencies"

- Click "Next"

- Click "Finish"

You will have one "My project's dependencies" element appear on the left sidebar in Thunderbird. Click on that, then:

- Click "Manage feed subscriptions", from the right pane.

- Enter: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/releases.atom in the "Feed URL" field on the window that appears

- Click "Add"

- Click "Close".

You will see "Release notes from gradle" appear on the left sidebar, as a child element of "My project's dependencies" 'feed account'.

Do your options to live end at your state borders?

"Not in my city" is the same thing on a smaller scale. We could take it to an absurd conclusion and say "let's just move to the jungle in the amazon and live for free, there's no traffic there either!" but that's not the point I'm making.

Health insurance is a big sticking point, I'm not trying to downplay the overinflated cost at all, even where I live it's still a huge burden and consideration. Too many people do without it, but that's anywhere you go, city or rural town. I don't believe this is a distinction of living inside or outside of a city, if anything, working class people in cities are more likely to do without because of inflated housing cost, and there's more working class people in cities than outside of them.

It's not easy living anywhere. But what negatives are you willing to live with for what positives?
