I was hanging out with some friends. One of them, is not neurotypical; she says her family were farmers. In that way of life, it doesn’t make demanda on executive functioning like modern life does.

The other side too: there are plenty of thinkers and critics of modernity to make a case that the modern way of life is not really that healthy for neurotypical people — or more precisely, people with good, or great executive functioning, even if they are rewarded the most by modern society.

I argue that, the hard mode is not necessarily your neural wiring, but that our civilization and way of life is terribly skewed.
That wasn’t my implication. I was saying that the term is being abused rather than just over-used as in celiac.

I don’t claim to know what ‘autistic’ is, and I’ve never heard a clear definition.

> But denying reality usually doesn't work, the past won't come back and shooting yourself in the foot simply hurts.

When you look at it in that context you may be correct, but I think that’s also strawmanning to a degree. It was common to hear people attack the movement as being just a bunch of people who wanted things “exactly like the 50s” but that’s not really true.

Furthermore when you look at the data, under Trump illegal immigration was at an all time low, and Americans’ personal satisfaction with their lives were at an all time high [0], among other metrics that showed that despite constant negative media portrayals, the “MAGA policies” were actually working and making Americans lives better.

Depends on what you mean by real :D It's all unicode text, but you can actually share old school ANSI art in the .ans format because it includes a cp437 to utf8 converter. No door games but i hope to extend the MIDI scripting language to do other things, including eventually making games. Little programs/games embedded directly inside posts is an exciting idea.
AnyDesk works fine
The "bunch of rules" are guidelines laid out by the supposed creator of reality, who loves you and wishes for you to live in congruence with your true nature.

You can ignore the guidelines, but that will come at a cost (mostly to yourself). That is how I understand Catholic virtues. The desire to rebel against this is the same instinct every child has when their parent tells them to brush their teeth and not binge-eat Halloween candy.

But to each his own, rebellion is a compelling source of identity for the young. Not so much later in life.
Microsoft might have committed to open source for business reasons, to an extent ( see the recent .NET debacles), but they're still the same monopolist-abusing and anti-competitive company ( see the recent Edge debacles). They're an inherently bad and evil company, and even though they seemed to be improving, they've gone back to old tactics rather quickly.
It's quite amazing that a few hundred ksloc of Javascript gluing together a bunch of npm packages can be valued on the same order of magnitude (in the billions) as a multi-decade scientific/heavy engineering undertaking.
Although Free42 is much better on iPhone, simply because it’s always handy. Also, real HP42 was almost exactly the same size as the phone, and the fake tactile feedback is really nice.

> Web3: read-write-own

Web3: read slowly - write slowly - vague claims of "ownership" limited to particular blockchains each with no authority over anything off-chain.

But hey, smart contracts allow a long chain of intermediaries to bleed a percentage off all transactions.
The UK has no choice but to go the low tax/low regulation route, not only for finance but to attract any sort of business.

Why would a business decide to move the UK instead of the EU? They have to offer something that makes being outside of the single market worth it.

The UK is already much more business friendly than most EU countries (I haven't many companies rushing to move from the UK to France if they did not really, really have too, for instance) but not being in the EU/single market can be a serious drawback.

The EU also knows this and that's a reason the negotiations on single market access have been tense as too good an access without being bound to EU control would mean letting the wolf in.
MLK keenly understood that olive branches need backing by a sharp tongue to cut through comfortable stupor, otherwise minds don't change and bodies don't make way.

issues of intrinsic identity--race, gender, sexuality, etc.--are contentious, not because of those characteristics themselves, but because of the perceived threat to the status of marginally-statused individuals in otherwise higher status groups. that's what implicit bias is, a subconscious vigilance against rising threats principally based on outwardly observable characteristics[0]. it's applied insecurity. people comfortable in their status don't bother to shout down and suppress others.

this is small-p politics. pointing out hypocrisy hurts. it creates cognitive dissonance, it backlashes. but nothing changes without that. pain is literally our built-in evolutionary change agent.

and the challenge-suppression dynamic is playing out right here. you're part of it, responding to maintain the status quo while pointing out a tiny opening far away and in the future, a nonthreatening mirage of a glimmer[1]. other responders feel so marginal and threatened that they've decided to screech back, in defense of their own tenuous position, lest it decline further. this is literally trying to put people in their place (exhibit A: @bsanr's flagged/dead parent comment).

all this from a little comment pointing out commonplace racial hypocrisy. what power that is!

by the way, @dang explicitly declined to intervene for the kobe memorial posts at the time.

merry christmas!

[0]: those outward characteristics are uncritically internalized to represent a nebulously combined physical, ideological and cultural threat (an antiquated evolutionary feature that aided survival millions of years ago but not so much today). this shortcut also serves to lessen cognitive load and the suppressive resistance required.

people enjoy reading and writing more than they care about owning their data. I don’t care if my Amazon purchase history is on Amazon servers or mine.
I encourage you to apply occam's razor here. I don’t think any political entity has any interest in controlling what individuals post on a tiny website like HN.
Haha, thats me right there!
This isn't true – the only billing system bug I've seen undercharged. Also if it was an overcharge, they would have made customer whole, whereas they wrote off the undercharge.

Microsoft doesn't really gain anything here – there's a clear "forked from" qualifier in the repo, they aren't republishing these packages, etc. The only people who noticed noticed in a negative light.
Few people are likely to know <insert employee here> but many people are very familiar with decades of bad behavior undertaken by Microsoft not as isolated misdeeds but as a matter of policy. Lacking personal context misdeeds or mistakes are extremely apt to be interpreted in context of literal decades of bad behavior by Microsoft.

I mean come on the seismic change in leadership at Microsoft is just former lower echelon leaders during the time frame that MS was doing wrong now moving up and taking the helm.

We are after all talking about the company that tried to destroy the competition by funneling money into a fraudulent lawsuit/pr campaign that was a front for a pump and dump. The only thing separating MS leadership and felony charges is meeting notes between them and SCO and the fact that important people don't go prison in the US if can at all be avoided. Lest we forget the current CEO was at this time an executive VP as well.

Maybe it boggles your mind merely because you yourself are an ethical person who comports themselves properly professionally and would want people to see your efforts good and bad in context of who you are. This is entirely reasonable but people don't know you personally whereas your company makes headlines for bad behavior.
In Common Lisp, default values of optional parameters are evaluated each time (only when the argument is not given of course). They can even reference other arguments that come earlier.
The only people talking seriously about web 3.0 are selling a crypto product, therefore it is a crypto product marketing term.
Can you name one example of decentralized software?
I’m only a little bit salty. Part of me cannot believe the government (or whatever powers that run this world) allows a deflationary alternative currency to continue to exist. I feel that it’s only allowed to continue in order to build a case for central bank cryptos that can substituted during an inevitable and convenient crisis.

Crypto people do not seem to have endeared themselves to regular folk whose assistance will no doubt be needed to prevent such government intervention.
The cheap RTL2832 software dongles do a surprisingly good job, and can be had with antennas for $30-40. There are many different packages which can drive them, including SDRsharp and HDSDR.

GNU Radio lets you build flowcharts, and compiles them (via python) into real-time data flows. I've built all sorts of things in it, including one that tells me the direction to a VOR aircraft navigation beacon near me.

It also does audio frequencies, so can work with your speaker and microphone.

It's not the slickest package around, but it gets the job done, and it's open source.

Not to suggest blockchains don't have a role in a decentralized internet, but on the other hand aren't there a lot of decentralized resources, made or to be made, that don't require crypto or blockchain at all?

I think this is where some of the confusion and skepticism comes from. Often in W3 discussions there seems to be a push to find a way to use crypto rather than an explanation of a resource, period. If a decentralized product includes blockchain or crypto, I'm immediately skeptical and expect a good explanation for why the product can't exist without it. Usually it seems like the product doesn't need it or could be built on some other option.

I'm all for decentralized and federated solutions, but they do tend to be slower and more resource-intensive. Blockchain most of all.
I gave my mom a Nest Hub en she controls Spotify from Google Assistant to
Play music on her Sonos. Every piece of hardware she bought is hooking in on this ecosystem. My mom has dyslexia thus a keyboard input device increases the friction while voice removes this entirely.
Self-satisfaction that they are complicated people who are 'working on themselves' because our medical system affords it. It's now commonplace to hear people say things like "It's my OCD acting up" when they don't have obsessive compulsive disorder. And where does that go? Think of the huge numbers of people who take ADD or ADHD meds for 'neuro enhancement' while the larger swaths of people who truly need treatment for those can't afford it.
How do I own? I mean I realise I can buy NFTs which I guess are "web3" but then I can buy a bunch of stuff on the normal web including stock in facebook etc.
I found two books so far that had pretty actionable plans to address this.

They first is Difficult Conversations, largely about nonviolent communication, which provides a structured template for “learning conversations”. The relevant advice was: when you feel a strong feeling of disagreement, you tell the other person instead of bottling it up, which lets you ll then transition to a listening state. Like: “When I heard that my first instinct was to disagree because of X. At the same time I know you (insert reason like “have different life perspectives” or “are my friend and care about me”) so I would like to learn more.

The second is The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leaders, which offers a metaphor for the mental state between judgement and curiosity they call “the line”. Being “above the line” is a state of curiosity, “below the line” is judgement and defensiveness. The book goes into physiological reasons, the advice they give is to develop strong awareness of your emotions to detect when you go below the line, then use breathing exercises to quickly resurface. They also have other exercises for developing empathy for other points of view you can do on your own, like isolating narratives from facts and working through all possible narratives for a given situation (like “Tom thinks I am incompetent, I think Tom is incompetent, Tom thinks I am competent, I think Tom is competent”)

I’ve used both to some pretty good success so far, after receiving some feedback that I was not listening well.
Once, I ate 9 grams of dried shrooms, which is something like 3-4x the average dosage and almost double of what's called an heroic dose.
I went into the most intense trip I ever had. During the trip, I called a friend because I was kinda scared, he said that if I hadn't told him about the shrooms, he would've thought I was completely sober.

Now, give me a couple of beers and I'll be slurring in no time.
The UK can prevent a legal referendum, as that is where the constitutional power lies. An SNP referendum can have no legal sanction, but then supporters of the current arrangements are in no need to actually partake. That is ine complication.

Then there is the problem that the SNP has been in power for a long time and it’s record is rather mediocre, with some long running issues coming to fester.

Finally, because the decsion on what actually to do is not as straightforward as you seem to think, there is a small and rather unpopular party set up with the intention of chivvying the SNP leadership into an unsanctioned referendum. I think at this point, most of the received opinion is that this would be a bad idea.
This is people being people. Choosing to be merry on a day that they somehow found a way to assign a meaning to. You could argue that this is not a choice but for many it is.

One could choose another day, it just happens to be this day. :)
On second read that’s fair. As long as we separate the people from the government/party!

If we are serious about ramping down the use of fossil fuels, we should start with the eliminations of vehicles that we don't need, such as cars.

In order to eliminate cars, however, it will require a drastic readjustment of our urban planning policies. Land use policies are what made cars viable and public transport unviable.
What is most incredible is somehow Daryl Morey is involved with this.

I’m confused as to how they are still able to see back 13 billion years. I thought all the light from the original Big Bang has already passed us.

Everything is crashing, but it seems crypto less so than national currencies.
Can you give one example?
"Steam has been banned in China" reads differently than the article's original title: "Steam Has Reportedly Been Banned In China".

FFS, get it right the first time. Initial impressions went from:

* "Oh really? Not likely but okay..", clicks thread

* Fast-reads comments top to bottom "fuck, what is this.."

* Reads actual article, "God damnit."
I applaud the sentiment to encourage and celebrate the people who have to work difficult times. Although I don't think it was necessary for you to denigrate other workers (by saying that their roles are not truly important) who aren't working today. You can be important and vital without other people being unimportant.
They're asserting ownership. By asserting ownership they're converting good will and assuming the mantle of authority, which will sway plenty of weak-minded people: hey it's Microsoft.
This is not a typical spectrum in the sense you describe. As far as I know, There is no plausible model in which the various categories of the spectrum are explicable as different values of a single continuous variable. Attempting to apply this model seems to be part of the problem.
I thought he also believed that the advances were of significant size, but maybe I’m wrong and he did, in fact, mean to admit that this recent, discontinuous progress was minute.
True - but their cultures & religions having different special & sacred days does not much change the nature of "some people will have to work on those day".

(Yes, when you've got enough diversity of cultures & religions, shifts can be swapped around so that nobody has to work... Nice, except that being one of those who work on those days is also something special.)
Team Viewer's been my go-to for years (decades?) and always appreciated their free for personal use.

In they're on Win10, there's "Quick Assist" baked in - which removed the hurdle of getting them to download and install something, before you can see exactly what they're doing.
Thank you! I had only heard this from Scooter, and didn’t know the original source.

In Romania, I go to a pharmacy, and they have it for 30 RON ($7 or so). But it goes up to 100 RON ($23) during a COVID wave (right now, incidence is low).
My understanding is that this attitude predated Arlene's death. In his writings (I think it was What do you care what other people think?), he noted that someone told him Arlene (his then-girlfriend) was 'running around' with other guys. It was an attempt to make him jealous, but he noted that he was dating other girls, so it was only fair. (My phrasing, not his.)

It very much sounded like they were both comfortable with their relationship. Granted, this was his writing many years after the fact.

I don't think the claims that he was a womanizer are relevant or fair. People say that kind of shit about MLK to discredit him. Similar claims against Feynman don't discount his love for his wife.
Also known as "cut the nose to spite the face"
There’s also the “misery loves company” aspect that I think drives a lot of city dwellers.

Furthermore it’s not just the non-immigrants who can vote in cities. The immigrants will tend to vote for the more liberal policies. So of course high-immigration areas will have more pro-immigration voting.

Finally there’s the factor that, if your city is already inundated with immigrants, then it’s not like they’re going to be going anywhere even if anti immigration policies are put in place, so even if people were against them, they may just be resigned to the fact that they’re there to stay. There’s nothing to protect against, they’re already there.

Those living outside of big cities see all the crime and problems that go along with living in a city and want nothing to do with it. You can call this behavior any name you want, but I think it just comes down to wanting to live a nice peaceful life with your family and not having to deal with all that city BS.
> "The government did not create any new powers here,"

The government did not 'create any new powers' to lock us in our homes after 8m pm.

The point is, governments around the world are creating new surveillance programs.

This is a new surveillance program.

Ergo, it's newsworthy.

"Why is anonymous data important to you? "

Because we've spend 5000 years trying to overcome state surveillance. The reason we have to have a Constitution, where the first line talks about 'Freedom To Assemble'.

... and governments lie.

Are they using the Digital Passport data as well?

Is it really anonymous, and to what degree?

What kind of oversight is there on the researchers?

In the end, if it's above board, I'm fine with it, but there needs to be oversight, 'journalism' is part of that, and the state sponsored entity, the CBC, should be the first place to contemplate the story.

It's not a non-story, and it's not published with negative or suspicious framing, and even if it were, that's within perogative.

One candidate to consider is https://www.freshports.org/games/flying/ - "Flying is pool, snooker, carrom, hockey + curling with nice animated spinning balls for pool". I'm not sure about redhat, but it seems to have been present in debian from 1998 through 2010.
Yeah. I commented to my family that this telescope took multiple countries years to build. I'm not sure if it's just that difficult, or if budgets are too small.
I'm a corporate design manager (happily so), so my industry is slightly different than yours, but I see this question pop up enough in my circles it felt relevant to say the below ...

One of the greatest mistakes I see fellow designers do is try to make their 'passion' into their job - expecting their moonshot webcomic idea to be the bread+butter income, artisanal print hobby to pay the same as a corporate career without a sizeable investment or insane time sunk into marketing, you get the picture.

Early on I made a point to do short contract/internship stints to find our what I "didn't" like to do corporate-wise (packaging, digital design, print design), and narrow down to the parts that left me vaguely looking forward to the next day (experiential design, a team that's enjoyable to work with, autonomy, management). Note that the happy bits are almost as much team dynamics is it is the work itself, if not moreso.
I understand how ethereum and dApps work etc. Can someone provide a list of some 'web3' companies?
The type of nonsensical Brexit that Boris negotiated can only be supported by Conservative politicians who ignore reality and are comfortable with lying as their basis for engaging with the rest of the country.

The traditional, sensible Conservative MPs (Dominic Grieve etc) were forced out two years ago.

The reason why Boris is unpopular now are exactly the reasons why Brexit is in a hole: lies, rules don't apply to us, mindless boosterism, no plans for governing just gaining power, incompetent delivery.
> Every web 3.0 related tech… claims to be decentralized, but is actually controlled by some central authority that is authoring the whole thing.
