I've stuck to here, New Yorker, NYT, and The Atlantic, I've stayed off of social media, I don't have cable and I don't watch TV.

This site's articles and comments are often the most polarizing media that I subject myself to daily.

I think most polarization comes from media packaged with a comment section and low quality news outlets.

Which ICO was that out of curiousity?
Good points all around. Not sure what the OP's requirements are, but judging by their current code, CLMUL should do nicely (or they have a bug).

And also, thanks for that example. Clearly I don't know CSV well enough--are quotes in fields that don't start with a quote not special?
Have fun, see the world. There will be a moment when you think it's not the be all end all --> get back to work.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I was overly social, choosing others over myself. I thought it was the way, possibly due to my Christian upbringing. But I learned that to say “I love you”, one must first be able to say “I”. Rational self interest is a good ethical basis for a non-sociopathic human. If you’re a sociopath, it’s horrible, which brings me to my next recommendation: Humandkind by Rutger Bregman (in Dutch: “Most people are good”).
If you worked for a hedge fund and you know they purchase scraped data from quite a number of vendors then why are you asking if it’s a viable business model?

Of course it is.
Fair point. My mistake.
If I had enough money to not worry about it, I would still have my health to prioritize which I do regardless of my financial situation. It would be much easier with money though. I would still work on projects I find meaningful. I would probably invest in projects that I find useful, and so forth. I would help people.

I just got my MRI results back, and if I am unlucky I could get paralyzed from the neck down. I dunno how to deal with this. No amount of money could help me if it truly is the case, but if I had enough money I would get a second opinion, and a third, just to be sure. But I barely have enough money to get by, and this coupled with my future... seems really tragic. I will need lots of money to live a normal life with my condition, especially if it gets worse. I still need money to buy healthier food and whatnot, but yeah... I am really lost, too.
I don't actually believe that. I was referring to a work of fiction that is philosophically meaningful to me.

What I do believe is there are components to intelligence that includes emotional intelligence, self-awareness and memory that some people don't seem to have in great quantities, but I don't think they are robots.

Disco Elysium would be a good recommendation, I believe. It is almost all reading based, and the theme is philosophical/political.
I’m sure this is an ignorant question, but what’s the incentive for using leaded glazes at all? Do they perform better?
It did take a lot of screen real estate, when open.

But it had its advantages. You could see who was talking with whom - the bobble-heads even blinked. You could visually show when you were busy (close office door). A company meeting took seconds for everyone to assemble - you'd see folks blinking into the big room.

I had a separate monitor for leaving it up, but I had the space for that. It was always an issue.
>The real solution IMO is the Metaverse. Rather than a centralized authority with control over all the content, everyone would contribute to a protocol, much like email works.

The Metaverse will be controlled by Facebook, which will define the protocol and control all of the content. If you want some kind of decentralized, Mastadon-like network for VR, that would be a completely different thing which (as far as I know) no one has actually made yet, not the Metaverse. But the Metaverse everyone will use will absolutely be controlled by Facebook, and if not them, Microsoft or some other centralizing entity.
Maybe they imagine that the life in the USA looks just like in the movies.
IANAL but as I understand it, tying is generally only illegal (violation of antitrust) under specific circumstances that relate to having monopoly power in a market.
The coating of these containers often contain chemicals like BPA so you can't trust a PTFE container is safe even if you trust PTFE.
Give it all away. All of it.

The money is making you depressed, so get rid of it. It's found money--it's not like you earned it through hard work or skill. It won't be painful to part with it. You got super lucky, but you can't use the same trick again to make more money.

Depending on how you give it away, you could make a lot of great connections and relationships that would serve you well through your career. If you want help figuring out how to do that, let me know.
Otters are relatives of weasels and badgers and like their relatives they are very aggressive.
Ironically people with big windfalls (eg lottery winners) often end up broke and have lots of damage in their relationships. I would seek to learn why that happens to others and insulate yourself as best as possible. A good therapist + financial advisor + a friend with similar amounts of money as a mentor / "accountability buddy" would be good starting points.

The internal motivation issue is hard: doing anything worthwhile requires pushing through the times you don't feel like doing it, which is harder when you have "f u" money. I would specifically ask people who've become wealthy how they manage it, and ask them to hold you accountable to achieving your goals.

Basically you need to develop a few close relationships with people who you can confide in who have been through a similar situation and made it through.

You are right. Had a brain fart moment there. Still a good place to check as some of these official statements from the two leading public health bodies communicate the agreed-upon response to the disease.

On Astral Codex Ten's piece, I assume you are talking about this one [0] The whole piece is such a doosie. Am almost sure 90%+ of the non-core audiences that landed on the page never scrolled to the end. If you are going to debunk a controversial subject, KISS. Not to say he didn't do a good job at poring through the numerous inconsistent data and studies carried out on the possibility of use of ivermectin for treatment. But am sure I came across some of his material on the interwebs.

Back to the source material of this post, FDA were completely malicious by tweeting that. Their linked post even goes to mention that taking ivermectin could be lethal for you.

What happens when the body whose sole job is to be the arbiter of truth and science regarding safety of drugs knowingly makes obviously dubious false verifiable claims? They are either knowingly participating in a lie or they are incompetent.

And in this alternate past history, how would they have generated an income? I think your clarification is spot-on, and the debate around whether they could or would have been out-competed is an interesting one, but fundamentally they need to be able to generate revenue somehow.

I totally get open-source for libraries/components/building blocks/etc, and strategies like “commoditise your complements” have been mentioned elsewhere. But I’m struggling to see how open-sourcing the actual end-user product isn’t just literally giving away everything for free?
>Well, calling a dissenter argumentative, or griping about tone, is actually ad hominem fallacy, because it ignores the argument entirely and personally attacks the man.

Well, I didn't ignore the argument, nor did I attack you personally (your tone is not your personality, is it?). So you're misusing "ad hominem".

Second, on a human level, I pointed out that your argument came across as curt and unnecessarily argumentative. You can choose to do with that feedback what you will. As in "hey, sorry, I didn't intend it like that" or "NAH-Nah you committed a technical foul therefore I win the argument!". It's your choice, but when people make observations about how you're coming across - it might be wise to assume they mean that genuinely.

>Goal posts weren't moved (farther apart, they were moved closer together). This is not the same thing as the meaning of the idiom "moving goal posts,"

You're plainly wrong. Further apart or narrower doesn't matter - what matters is you changed the scope of your argument to make it easier to support. Your original comment covered 2001-2021, you then casually changed it to 2012-2021 without explicitly acknowledging you were changing the argument.

That is textbook goal post moving. Textbook.

The rest of the argument is simple - you're saying MacOS hasn't changed enough. I'm saying - relative to its peers it has changed about the same amount. If you can tell me some great advancements that other OS's have had during the same time frame that MacOS lacks that would go a long way to supporting your argument. I'm actually curious on this (since for example - I don't follow Windows too closely).

Similarly, I can say Samsung (or whatever) TV's haven't advanced that much in the past 20 years. But if I can't point out a single feature or advancement they are lacking compared with their peers then it's not really a strong argument. It just sounds like I'm angry with Samsung for some reason.

>This is a straw man and skew to the argument, which is simply that calling annual upgrades a new operating system due to new GUI features

You're incredible. Actually screaming "straw man" in the same sentence you're saying Apple (or literally anybody) calls its point releases "a new operating system". Amazing.

You're now 0 for 2 in use of the term "fallacy".

>So let me tell you what you're going to do, you're going to have better days and not sweat it so much.

I'm fine. As previously mentioned, you're the one who sounds angry.
Anyone know what the font is in those screenshots?
Stainless is passivated and its surface is mainly oxides of chromium and nickel. They aren't great for storage because over time they leach chromium and nickel into acidic foods. Glass is altogether superior.
Well, let's for arguments sake consider the most important demographic in my mind: me :-). (That's what most people do anyway).

Joking aside. I'd love to make Mathematica part of my toolbox, but the steep pricing makes me think about all the other software I pay license fees on that I depend on, and I need another software expense like I need a third buttock.

If it wasn't a recurring license, or a recurring license at a significantly lowered price, that would make it different.
I've had this happen to a friend. After some years toiling in obscure startups, he made his money, stopped working, bought a nice house, a nice car... And within two years was bored senseless. He joined a big company as an entry level SWE, not really caring about the money at all, but just so he'd have something to do with his time. A decade later he's happily retired but I think it took him some time to find a way to enjoy it.

Money buys you some freedom. Freedom to experiment, freedom not to stress out about making ends meet. The flip side of freedom is that it forces you to have to make weighty decisions.

This happens all the time, for example, when young people inherit fortunes. Some end up doing drugs and/or spending it all - this freedom can definitely wreck lives. One approach that I'm told can help is to define your values and live them out.

For example, you said you created startups. I assume it wasn't just because you were hoping for a payday. Was it because you enjoyed the creative process? Or was it because you wanted to help solve problems? Can you do more of this now that money allows you to?

Or, is your idea of a happy life centered in family, and in that case, what are you doing to start a successful one? Not that it's exclusive of other values.

But basically this freedom lifted your boat from being in the harbor where the channels it could go into were very clear, to being in the high seas where you can go anywhere. You're obviously in the fog. You now need to clarify your life goals to lift the fog, define where you want to take the boat before it bobs towards a storm. Good luck :) it's still a problem to solve but it's a good one to solve.

Recommend reading "Jackpot" by Michael Mechanic, which talks about how the "jackpot moment" affects people.
Does anyone else get the feeling that this will never end? At some point the lockdown politicians will get shuffled out.
>Most metal food containers are coated with plastics like BPA

I doubt it. I put my stainless steel containers in the oven with no ill effects, so there probably isn't some plastic coating on them. Are you confusing disposable metal food containers (eg. aluminum cans) with stainless steel bowls/cups?

I wholeheartedly recommend the Landmark Herodotus: https://www.amazon.ca/Landmark-Herodotus-Histories-Robert-St...

The indices, maps, and other additional information was a great aid in understanding the text.
Glass is heavy & fragile, wrapping it in a rubber material makes it hard to clean leaving places for bacteria. Acidic food does not work well with metals like aluminum along with stainless steel that leaches nickel and chromium. Plastic 1, 2, 4 & 5 kept away from heat are likely the best, but avoiding additives including stabilizers and phthalates is difficult.
Ask HN: How do you pay attention to long video lectures or webinars?
This has become a serious problem for me. I seem to lose focus within 5 mins of a zoom meeting or a video lecture. Trying to learn something new is becoming a pain.
It is not the scale of the universe that would determine if Earth matters or not, but whether or not there is significance to the universe and to Earth. Significance conferred by observers or parties interested in these things.

Example: $100 isn’t less or more just because of increasing or decreasing the physical footprint of the bill. We still confer a purchasing power of $100 to a $100 bill regardless of the bill’s physical dimensions.

So the takeaway here is that it’s a non-sequitur to say that because of Earth’s small scale relative to the rest of space, nothing on Earth matters.
And its also distinctive because you can (with some caveats) use separate USB cables to each side, rather than a cable spanning the two parts. That works really well for me.
Become the poorest in your social circle and the problem will solve itself. You are hanging out with the wrong people, that’s all. We are social animals, we don’t understand absolute values, only relative. Become poor again by changing your surroundings. Meditation and therapy won’t help. New friends will.
I want so much to like it, but, even in its heyday, the documentation was so poor—everyone seemed so convinced that its English-likeness made it obvious that they seemed to refuse to document the 'obvious' commands. And now it seems that even Apple has decided to let it languish.
Free Will by Sam Harris.

Before reading it I felt like I had free will, but I didn’t know how to articulate why. A few hours later (it’s not a long read), it was clear to me that free will is an illusion.

To summarize, we can control what we do, but we can’t control what we want to do, which is a product of our genetics and our environment —- neither of which we have much control over.

This realization has eliminated all regret from my life, since it means that wishing I had made a different decision in the past is akin to wishing the laws of the universe were different.
Sorry I cannot tell what “this” is since that article neither mentions downplaying grades or interviewing students.

I believe the specific things I am talking about were discussed in relation to introversion and The Ivy’s specifically wanting to lean toward extroverts who were well-rounded and had good social skills.
What does it even mean for a language to be faster?
The argument the SEC presented however is that it hindered investigations which means it was extreme. There s no excuse dropping an email with the details of the communications out of channel was impossible, even by hiding the fact it was out of channel: after all you could meet the client on premise and discuss the same things with no record and everyone would agree an email memo should be shared.

Here it feels like it became completely normal to take decision completely out of record, and with no way to trace who said what when, no way to defend themselves out of suspicion, which is why we keep records in banks in the first place.
Julia always seems to rank #1 or close to it when compared to other interpreted languages but I only ever see it used for research and math. Why doesn’t anyone use it for anything else?
What if I have to make a tech decision and I don’t know the right answer? (2019)
I understand the confusion with = for assignment, but isn't the solution usually to use symbols like := or <-? So shouldn't += and friends be on the easy side of things to teach?
...I wish this were true. I'm back writing JavaScript/Typescript. The new build tools are great. Perhaps in the new year I'll convert some of these repos to build with esbuild or swc... or vite.
> a negative | (b between: c and: d)
> ifTrue: [a := c negated]

> As a reader, you should be able to tell that “a” is sent message “negative” (no parameters) which comes back true or false; “b” is sent message “between: c and: d” which also returns true or false. The results are ORed together to become the receiver for the “ifTrue: [a := c negated]” message.

When messages are sent to boolean values, the language is harder to read.

Earlier in that into we were told that the first argument's preposition is always fused with the name of the method/message/operation, while subsequent prepositions aren't thus fused. That also makes the language hard to read.

We are given examples of methods/functions which are adjectives, e.g. "negated", while others are verbs in the imperative voice, e.g. "make", "rotate" etc. That also makes the language (or its idiomatic use) harder to read.

Yes if you point it at a well defined target market and create a solution.
Well the Constitution can be amended without Congress via a Constitutional Convention. My point wasn't moot though, it was a direct response to PC which was asking why someone's rhetoric around a literal clause of the Constitution defining the most powerful role in government. A clause that isn't defined for Representatives, whom are not singular in their power, and collectively are given the power to set their own rules. Not to say that a debate cannot be had, but PC was trying to make it seem that there was hypocrisy afoot.
"How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. It really helps me to see my own issues and shortcomings.

Yeah, ditch your closest people and go hang out with randos who are only talking to you cause you have the money. Sounds like perfect cure for depression.
If you look at top course makers, you can see how many copies they sold and estimate their income. If the course takes more than a few months to create, they’re often making far less than they would just working the job that uses those skills. This makes it financially non-feasible for 99% of people to create courses full time unless you have downtime and no other income opportunity

Also, when people are outraged by the 30% App Store taxes, why is 63% acceptable? That’s insane

The entire gig economy works like this: almost nobody can live off of it but the platforms push people to try while getting rich themselves
Based on the context, it would appear that he is referring to mobile games like CandyCrush and their ilk, "games usually have "optimized" on (rather quick) reward feedback and I can imagine that this is very similar as social media in some sense". I don't think that refers to the NYT Crossword puzzle.
My mistake for misunderstanding, I suppose. But you initially said that you (1) were beginning to think it, then said it is also (2) the theme of your literature:

I think the key distinction is that, for the most part, the current generation of cruise missiles are targeted and launched with a "human in the loop" - that is, a person actively makes the decision to fire the missile at a specific target. However, the autonomous weapons being debated have significantly less direct human control - they are potentially designed to simply patrol a certain area and attack anything that the weapon classifies as an enemy.

Of course, there are grey areas here - certainly there are existing missiles that can be launched without a defined target and programmed to aim for anything that, say, has radar emissions that match known enemy systems.

Because those are names the caller decided upon, so they can just as easily misinform the reader as correctly educate them. The caller could have mistyped the call as

t.rotate(around, rotateBy)

and the error in the effect might seem very mysterious indeed. The beauty of keyword args is that the mapping of caller's name to function argument name is explicit, and therefore reads correctly or incorrectly immediately at the callsite

t rotateBy: point around:degrees

is obviously an error, without sending the reader to look up the definition.
