I actually have quite the opposite feeling for my 35-year-old car - I've tried to keep it as stock as possible. It's still got the period-accurate radar detector (police probably use bands outside of what it can pick up), tape deck (I've never once played a tape in it), _car phone_ (AMPS was dead before I bought the car)... But I get a sense of enjoyment out of keeping it the way it was originally intended.

That said, I have had to make some concessions to the future. It was next to impossible to find stock lamps - they're just inches off the ground, and not made of laminated glass. They'll shatter easily due to road debris. I can buy old, foggy replacements for $200. But I actually ended up buying one-off plastic lamps for $30. At least this way, they'll not only look better, but last longer.
Ah, yes. Another "guru" confusing skepticism with cynicism.

People are usually resistant to change, because 95% of ideas to change something are laughably bad, or not well thought out.

If you find yourself talking to too many "cynics", then the problem is you! Propose better ideas, that don't sound ridiculous or too far-fetched. Present them with a detailed plan to achieve win-win goals.
The only way you couldn't understand why people would prefer not driving a sporty car they can afford is for you to be unable to imagine a better way to spend time in a sporty car that doesn't involve driving it.

As you can see with me understanding exactly what you said, you tend to jump to conclusions while not understanding things. Maybe that explains the inability to grasp "rich people" motives.

It comes down to doing the work to get the degree you want. You can be the smartest but if you don't do the work and follow thru then you'll get no where. Here's Edison's quote that says it all. "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration"
I have tried every tip/advice under the sun and cannot say any of them have worked. Writing is subjective. What works for one author will not work for another. I think the audience and name recognition matters more than specific tips or strategies..
It's awkward to be sure, and often seems out of place, but that is Anime. Evangelion is no different. To be fair, there are such gratuitous elements in most TV and movies.

I cut my teeth on Python's "forgiveness not permission" model and find that exceptions are usually the cleanest model since so few languages have pleasant syntax for alternate return-types, and returning a status code and using out parameters for the actual result is miserable.
What's this have to do with the keys API?
Eh, I've just written stuff with a pen on a slip of paper and stuffed it in my wallet for the last n decades.

Ya, I use them for personal space. My last name is five letters ending in "st" and I managed to snag that three-letter st domain which I was pretty happy about :) I know a lot of people seem to hate them--and a lot of non-tech-types don't always seem to understand that they are domains--but I think they're fun, and I love finding peoples' personal homepages (mine is currently borked, of course, but not because of the st domain).
Ah yes the notoriously spammy .dev TLD.

For learning, they're OK. However, most of the time when you're doing real work, what you really want is specs and complete APIs. At that point w3schools in the results becomes a distraction. I'm totally blocking them.
Thanks, you’re the man!
That's only for a certain degree of "use", one most users sadly don't (or can't) get past. Too much good from the past has been buried in the name of making it "easy" for people to do basic things; getting to the really useful things is becoming either a hoop-jumping exercise or no longer allowed.

I'm one of the few Evangelion watchers who prefer the original series ending over EoE.

I mean, the scribbles are pretty out there, but the core concept written is about Shinji coming out of his depression thanks to human instrumentality project. Its a bit magical and I don't think depression works like that... but the optimism that you can talk through your problems with your peers is a good message.

It was a muddled ending with a weird storytelling style with a studio that obviously was running out of money. But it got the point across, to me anyway.

More so than the alternative ending, which I do realize more fans seem to enjoy because its got a really good fight scene in it. But the message of EoE is even more muddled and seems to just becomes an extreme parody of itself.

Evangelion always was very much introspective, but EoE crosses the line into navel-gazing. ROT13: V zrna, Fuvawv vf na nffubyr 13 lrne byq. Ohg... znfgheongvat va sebag bs na hapbafpvbhf Nfhxn? Zvfngb naq Xnwv'f frk fprar jvgu Fuvawv jngpuvat bire vg, qrpvqvat jurgure be abg gb xvyy rirelbar?

Like, there's a limit to what I can believe, and I do think that EoE crosses a line. I'm sure a young boy like Shinji can feel bad about his awakened sexual desires but... whooo boy. That's pretty out there.
A thought on that. I have a theory there isn't so much a decline as a "widening" or "offloading" of thought/intelligence.

Completely anecdotal, mind, but I've found people older than me spend more time repeating and talking betwixt each other, while often asking me for answers to hard questions. I've even caught myself doing it with some of my juniors. Eventually, what I answered tends to circle back in the form of zeitgeist several months to years later.

It's eerie. I don't know if that's just how it's always been, or not, but I can almost see the fractal self-similarity of an organism whose cognitive function derives from massively parallel firing of action potentials in neuronal networks manifesting in a macroscopic, yet subconscious way through how group activity tends to organize itself at a societal level.

Or maybe I'm just nuts.
Eh, Alaska has the oil dividends.
If they're going to do something like this (and honestly, their pricing model isn't terrible. $798 upfront vs $858 over 3 years or $930 over 36 months equates to 2.5% or 5.5% APR simple interest -- way cheaper than credit card debt, and without having to maintain their own financing system or repoing from people who default), they should add some actuator to make it impossible to put on when the subscription isn't paid. I don't think that's necessary for a lot of products, but for something that's a matter of preventing severe bodily injury... yeah it shouldn't be in a state where you think it's working, but it's not. I'd guess that they can only get away with this legally because helmets are the only safety equipment that are required by law.

An AI Christmas Carol
The answer is almost always with collective action. As an individual, our impact or non-impact is very limited. Even if your individual consumption and impact turned to 0, in a world of 7.9 billion other individuals.

It's a big tragedy of the commons; this time, only coordination can save us. A shared responsibility. (practically) Everyone, and specially our leaders, need to be on the same page. Disasters will come all at once... we're depleting most minerals as well, pollution will only get worse, and so on.

For the lack of a better word, this is Nature's ""test"" to see if we have the ability to

1) Think on a global and collective level;

2) Value the future and not just the immediate present.

The default mode of the test is failure, and we seem quite likely to fail anyways. We have to fight very hard. I do believe if we could reach some kind of consensus and mutual enlightenment the technical and social challenge is not that frightening, and maybe we even have a good chance to become a proper space-faring civilization. It's important to be hopeful. A thousand years of a sustainable high technology civilization can achieve what might be approaching the limits of physics of our Universe -- and I'm quite confident colonizing even the galaxy is feasible in such a scenario.

The classic on this topic is Scott Alexander's: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/

My personal (idealistic, why not? ;) ) plan, my contribution, is to try to come up with a shared formalization of ethics most cultures/countries would accept (a sort of new version of human rights), which includes obvious stuff like valuing human life experience (and in general consciousness) as a primary target of our civilization. Recognizing we are all conscious individuals and so strict individualism is a silly, destructive paradigm, that truth can be well approximated and we can reason collectively towards a shared goal. I really want to prove it -- prove that significant divergences from such basic ethical systems are catastrophic or absurd -- thus we should all, regardless of other beliefs (or religions, or tastes), accept the basic premises and thus have a chance to not only survive, but to live well, to thrive.

The Quora terms of service forbid "automated tools" and have a system that provides at least some answers that explicitly forbid reproduction [0]. Contrast this with Stack Overflow, where a condition of posting your content is that you put it under a libre/free license (CC-BY-SA) [1].

The author spent ten years of their life creating quality content and now the most likely scenario is that it fades into obscurity without even the hope of it being reproduced or retained for someone in the future to benefit from it.

Why not to stuff it into a repo and reference it in the text?

Of course, a central location within a stable institution helps with continuity of availability of such repo. But at least this gives you some control over it.
> The path out wasn’t to change myself but to remove myself from what I found to be soulless work.

These aren't mutually exclusive. It's possible for something to be bad _for you_ but not be bad _for everyone_, especially if there are particular circumstances around you that cause the experience to be bad. It's like deciding never to date again after a bad relationship (which certainly has crossed the minds of friends of mine). It's not about changing yourself, it's about keeping an open mind.
Yes, when I started using Linux in ‘99, several desktop UIs imitated this style. And it looked dated and ugly to me, compared to Windows 95, KDE and Gnome.
Being highly useful is simply not enough. It never has been. OS/2 did not win.

The world is littered with highly useful technologies that nobody adopts, or eventually die to less useful, arguably objectively worse technologies.
Adoption and software life cycles are not a techo-meritocracy.

In short - you are completely and totally ignoring the social aspects of software adoption and use. But they are, in fact, often the most important part. I don't actually particularly like this any more than any other software engineer - it often feels wrong. That does not (and will not) make it any less of a reality.

(as an aside, yes, in fact, as joist hangers and ties and such became more and more required due to code or construction method, structural screws became all the rage - nailing joist hangers/etc with regular framing nail guns was hard and dangerous, but structural screws just require an impact driver or a screw gun to do safely. Now they actually have specialized metal connector nailers, so structural screws are getting ignored again outside of decks)
Concise writing does not go viral like long writing does. I have observed that longer articles have more success even if few people read them in their entirety. Slate Star Codex articles are often long and go viral.
One potentially interesting point of discussion here is to compare GitHub to PGP keyservers. Both provide a means of sharing someone’s keys with a wide audience. GitHub probably has gotten more people actively using SSH keys than are actively using PGP to encrypt or sign material.

Then there’s the more controversial possibility that with such a large userbase, SSH could encroach on what was traditionally PGP’s territory. Giving someone a new account with password “changeme” is already long obsolete. How about when SSH signatures become mainstream? https://mobile.twitter.com/damienmiller/status/1452796122250...

This is an important point. One of the things I really disliked about life in Italy was the cynical, defeatist attitude prevalent among certain people. "All the politicians are corrupt", "nothing will ever change", "why bother trying, they won't let anything happen", and so on and so forth. I realized it's a great way to ensure that nothing happens or changes.

> Of course, even collateralized loans to buy real estate are not, despite what you said earlier, risk-free--see 2008 (and google the term "CDO", in case you've never heard of it) for a rather dramatic

A CDO is a synthetic debt derivative - not really the same thing as a loan. As for real estate vs cryptocurrency as collateral for a loan, two key differences that make lending essentially risk-free to the lender, not the borrower:

1. With crypto-lending the lender takes possession of the collateral at the time of loan issuance so they can liquidate if needed at any time

2. Crypto is traded in liquid markets 24/7 and the value of holdings can be marked to market in real-time or liquidated instantly to pay off a loan.

Neither of these options are available in real-estate lending.

> More to the earlier point, though, this is really not how most lending works

I’ll bite, other than asset-backed lending, how else does most lending work?
I just feel like we can do something better than a this model. If there’s UBI than the next steps is also owning the production. That is a slippery slope. Consolidated power is not very Open Source.
I wouldn't be that optimistic. A lot of these problems the developed world "solved" by offshoring production to countries with looser environmental regulations.

And it's not like our new technologies don't bring about new problems. E.g. pesticide use and microplastics everywhere.
Finally, death to pinterest!
Optimum number of murders is 0.
So we take steps to prevent murder.
This doesn't make the number of murders 0, but we take the steps because we want to reduce murder as much as possible, because we've agreed it's unacceptable.

Substitute "online misinformation postings" for "murders" above.

The point is just because something is difficult to eliminate is not a good reason to give up trying to eliminate it.
>What monthly fees of this nature are required to use other Apple products?

Apple conveniently disallows people from making local backups encrypted with your own key, which means in reality you need to pay a monthly fee to store them on iCloud.
It won't be a blockchain anyway, because the data structure is a DAG (Directed acyclic graph) and not a freaking Linked list like blockchains!

And there's no need to agree on anything between repos, heck git allows you not to agree with yourself on your own repo between different branches. Git actually works completely fine between a number of different repository (the UX isn't great of course, but which part of git's UX is…).
> if the experiment can't be reproduced to be verified, how does the paper provide more proof than a blanket 'trust me'?

It doesn't, and it is a big "trust me". People review papers based on the merits of the idea and methodology, and then tend to trust the results. Of course, if the results are very "significant" (e.g. cold fusion), then it will be scrutinized more, people will fail to reproduce, and they will harass the author. 99% of papers don't fall in this category, though.

> isn't this letting politics come before science?

Yep. The games at play are often: "How do I write my paper in the most convincing way?" and "As a referee, this paper is hurting the research work I am currently doing. What is the best way to reject this paper?"

The extremely annoying part was I felt I was back to taking literature courses, where I'm graded on very subjective metrics. It was horrible, especially when all my work was extremely objective. However, the publishing system is not incentivized to be that objective.

Simple example: A colleague's paper was rejected because he explained a phenomenon using method A, and the referee complained there was no mention of method B. Method B was the hot topic of the day. Neither method A nor method B had good empirical data to support it - it was almost purely theoretical at that point. But that community was gravitating towards method B, and really did not want to see alternative explanations.
This frustrates me to no end. Usually, I search for "independent coffee shop" to narrow results, but then still have to zoom in until my nose is touching the pavement before I can see anything other than large chains. Even worse, if there aren't enough "popular" results, I'll get things that are very much not coffee shops, like Target or Arby's
