I only pointed out the Santa Ana winds to emphasize the "unplanned" portion. Even a 10-20 mph gust is enough to bash a skydiver against a rock outcrop, and (in my experience) that's the equivalent of a light morning breeze in mountainous regions.

I had this experience with Salesforce. People without any actual software creation/maintenance or system administration experience having administrator rights in Salesforce ends up being a mess and a nightmare. Data hygiene ends up terrible, because you can add any fields you want anywhere, you end up with fields named customer, customerid, customername, customer_name, cust, custid, with none of them being canonical, or validated, of different types. And people end up having put a bunch of data in a field named "cutsomer", with a misspelling that everyone just accepts.

I'm not a big fan of Salesforce in general (did they add, uh, XREF support in validators yet? Sorry, I'm forgetting the terms) but I do think it gets a bad rap mainly because a bunch of non-technical people are often tasked with setting it up and there's no discipline in it's configuration or use. It can be made to work reasonably well, but it rarely gets to that point.

Is it? AFAIK it is correlated with reading books and here in Eastern Europe lots of people who are "smart" at sciences have ostentatious disdain towards literature.

> But because anybody else can sell anybody else very similar NFTs it looks like the supply is infinite.

People only want to pay for the NFT, because it is supposed to represent a desirable piece of art. The only person who has the moral authority to sell it is the artist. Anyone can create an NFT that "links" to some piece of art they found online, but if I am not the artist, why would anyone pay me for it?

Additionally of course, there are artists whose work is more desired, so they command a premium over other artists.
Mmm don't sell it too short. Long distance passengers become non-drivers art least initially at either end. Good city-center stations will not have parking or rental cars nearby.

I built a Google Apps Script Gmail add-on (with a UI and card view for a selected email) for archiving email contents as a PDF to an internal enterprise document system using GAS and AWS API Gateway. Here are two extremely annoying problems that I really can't fix using this platform:

1. Calls to UrlFetchApp.fetchAll() will fail with an "Unexpected Error" exception about every 3 to 8 percent of calls. The way my code works is that I'll make one GET request to an AWS API Gateway endpoint to request a pre-signed S3 URL, and then I'll use the pre-signed S3 url to PUT a document. The unauthorized first request will fail sometimes, and issuing a PUT to the pre-signed S3 url will fail sometimes too. I have found no reason that these requests should fail, so instead of torturing myself by trying to figure out the root cause, I've decided to wrap both fetchAll() calls in a loop that retries the exact same request three times before giving up. If there was anything wrong with the request itself, one would expect a retry loop to be pointless, but it's significantly reduced the number of add-on failures.

2. If an email has invalid SPF alignment, then the add-on won't run at all. It's been three years and there's still no workaround for this. I have had to explain to dozens of people over the past three years that there's nothing I can do about it. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/112064778 .

I feel like Google Apps Script - especially Gmail add-ons - are sorely neglected and are treated as an annoying legacy product that will probably be discontinued very soon with no replacement.
No worries, being suspicious on a contingency basis isn't even close to being in there. Plus the person who would get those sneaky reports is probably dark enough to ignore them anyway. Why? Because people generally think other people think like they do. Ergo--everybody games the test anyway, so I'll just skip the tedious data and go after those I don't like. Following objective data is also a way of giving up one's own sense of subjective power.

BTW you can self-score if you download the items and read the word doc.
I agree onboarding can be a hurdle (for any decentralized network). These days many XMPP clients support invitations which make the process much easier (see https://blog.prosody.im/great-invitations/ ).

I've been dealing with depression, or rather, a couple of months with productivity where I really work my ass off producing great stuff, then have an as long downtime where I just manage to get by. Any choir was tough to start doing and completing. After being diagnosed with both ADD and ASD.1 I also was diagnosed with Bipolar 3/4. Did not even know they existed but they trigger these hypomania periods. Turns out that hypomania is pretty good for working in IT and you can hide and get by the rest of the year. On the other hand, now that when I feel that the depression is completely gone, I discover that I'm entering a hypomaniac period. What a way to ruin all the fun. The awareness around it is quite low from where I'm from sadly. I wonder how well SAINT would affect.

It seems you’re taking my words beyond what I said.

Science has its use, but in the grand scheme of things, science only helps us see the mirror dimly.
I'm sorry but as an observer to this thread: there is nothing even remotely compelling to your argument. 'stopping a predatory crime' - one instance? That you can't refer to? Not compelling.

In fact, the sheer number of predatory scams being performed using crypto would surely outweigh the alleged single incident in which Bitcoin had a positive influence?

Your inability to meet any other requests for evidence (businesses that legitimately use and depend on btc) is downright damning.

I hold btc, but every booster simply fails to demonstrate any actual utility for Bitcoin beyond being a speculative vehicle.
The two ways I know to trigger it is hovering over a word and pressing ctrl-cmd-d, or force-touching the trackpad. So I suppose you are accidentally pushing too hard so it triggers the force-touch?

If you don't like it, you can disable the force touch in the trackpad settings. It seems you can also set it to be three-finger-tap on the touchpad.

My wife suffers from agoraphobia and is autistic. We (honestly: she, as she arranges it) do something similar, but we don't live in a country with tipping culture, so its a flat 100 EUR or so (you can also pay per delivery then the price fluctuates, a decent way to evaluate). Sure, it has cons. Sometimes stuff isn't fresh (report, and get your money back), or the expiration date doesn't suit our planning. Sometimes stuff isn't available or its not included. But it really does help, especially if you have difficulty leaving the house for any reason (we got little kids as well). I also find covid-19 a good reason to not go to the grocery store. However, you miss out on the fresh air and increase lack of movement. Get your little children out, for example to the local playground. A dog can help with that, too. And finally, have a buffer storage esp. with regards to non-perishables, just ensure your house or apartment can deal with the extra storage (e.g. we got an American fridge/freezer).
Likewise. I am definitely on the Light Side of the Force and have done well. While I would say it cost me earlier in my career, the reputation and quality benefits that have accrued through life were more than worth the early struggle.

Funny enough, if someone is into modern versions of these graph techniques, we have been building out an end-to-end GPU visual graph intelligence platform used by all sorts of security/fraud/misinfo/genomics/supply chain teams, and have 2 data viz openings precisely on this: fullstack data viz + WebGL engine. Info over at https://www.graphistry.com/careers .

Once you load in say 100K-1B fraud events or cancer proteins and try to make the experience fully interactive, GPUs are letting us tackle all sorts of challenges that were unrealistic back then. With all graph neural net stuff happening in the last ~2 years, our assumptions of what tools can enable analysts to tease out are changing yet again. Exciting days!
It's an argument at the end of the day. 'We know it's bad now. But it's being worked on.'

Just like a Tesla investor might believe autonomous driving is being worked on.
That's to be expected, I think. A mostly-dark or even a mid-dark population would have trouble out-competing mostly-light populations over time due to issues with internal discord.

The accuracy of such tests is of course as suspect as for g, but I would expect that for optimum competitiveness, there has to be at least a small amount of this kind of variety in any society, tending much more towards light than dark.

Author (not myself) also shows a simulated landing on the riverbeds below - heck, the 1940 Taylorcraft nearly landed there by itself! AFAIK the plane was designed to land off road, with a stall speed barely over 61km/h - it can land on a proverbial dime.

I used to say this but then realized that lots of official government communications are exclusively published on Twitter. It pissed me off when they started requiring a phone number to view tweets.

Let's not perpetuate the narrative that Twitter is a private company and therefore they can do whatever they want. In theory, yes. But the line is being increasingly blurred and it is tending more towards a public square. When my local police department chooses to exclusively publish alerts on Twitter, I am strongly in opposition of the private-sector argument.

Either pass a law to prevent Governments from going on Twitter as a sole outlet or make access to Twitter like a public utility. You can't have a free pass. I'll be writing to my local representatives of this insanity.

Ideally, I'd want the former. Government officials are playing a reality-TV-like-theater on Twitter, throwing rocks at people, memes, the whole 9 yards. I'd want a publicly funded real-time .gov website where officials can communicate to citizens. No memes. No bullshit. No Senator Warren vs. Elon Musk. I sometimes wonder WTF is going on in the world. We've stooped so far, it is unbelivable.

Read my original comment again. I'm not advocating for blockchain or crypto. My point was that you should not conflate decentralization with these buzz words and dismiss it by affiliation. I don't know when this is coming or if it's coming at all but it's what I want.

One inaccuracy factor about this test is how it equates legality to morality. If the test taker does not think legality is equal to morality, then some thoughts they will have would be marked as dark when they are not.

If a person is helping slaves escape an underground railroad, despite it being illegal, are their answers about their opinions of legality correct? If someone ignores segregation laws and sits on an empty seat that they are not allowed to on the bus, are they dark for 'disregarding the law' to 'get ahead'? They get to sit on the bus sooner after all!

If they think the law is wrong, is that different than them thinking the law it correct and doing it anyway to get ahead? Need to tease that out in their question set, or avoid questions having to do with the law.

Another commenter said that the test came from northern europe where there is more trust in institutions and government. I bet they will get higher 'dark' scores where people do not trust their governments, and inaccurately so.

EDIT: And since 2 of them are in germany, you have a fairly accepted cultural reference of law gone wrong in recent german history too!

> This article made me think about how the presence of trains indicate peace. Trains are so vulnerable to attack. Their existence depends on everyone with access to the tracks to trust and agree with their purpose. I suspect if we're mourning these trains, we also mourn the loss of peace and stability in the region.

Trains can also indicate war :) They are crucial for logistics, and were especially so before WW2. My country uses European gauge rails despite starting with Russian gauge rails because during WW1 Germany occupied big parts of it and switched the gauge to incorporate it in their WW1 supply train.

BTW you could deduce if some country wanted to invade the other or defend itself by looking at the rails and roads they invest in - if the lines go along the border they are more likely to defend, if the lines go perpendicular to the border - they are more likely to attack.
I don't want to "grow" beyond having my team execute incremental work, because once they do, you build unhelpful things.

The completion of Ethereum's transition to Proof of Stake will occur very soon, most likely within the year. The testnet for the merge - which is the term describing the technical process that completes the transition (it refers to the currently running Proof of Stake Beacon Chain being merged into the execution chain to allow Proof of Work to be turned off) - is already running:

My dream language would be simply Typescript freed from the shackles of JavaScript (and thus simplified), with a sound type system, a standard library, decimals, runtime type checking, and compiling to machine code, WASM, and/or the .NET IL.

A few more detailed features that would be good:

- Higher-kinded types

- Generic objects

- Everything can be an expression, e.g., if and switch statements

- Dependent types? In that case the language can be made type-only

The blockchain and even the EVM are not distributed systems. They merely run the same (mostly pointless) computation, on every single node participating in the system.

To me, distributed systems means parallel computation. The blockchain by definition, cannot be parallelized (except when someone manages to pull off such a large theft that the developers are forced to fork the blockchain).

They are decentralized systems, which achieve their decentralization by being as inefficient as possible. Sure, it's a bit clever, but it's also incredibly stupid.
This is a cool problem. Never looked into it any further but there is some proof of concept code out in the wild about this.

Especially if the engine is still making compression, a windmilling prop is extracting at least enough energy from the free stream to keep not just the prop but the engine turning... this is a lot!
While depression can certainly be caused by chemical imbalance and not because of how your unconscious mind impacts/limits your experience of life, I took the approach that exploring my subconscious through therapy was the way to get out.

For me it worked very well and I think the journey is an amazing one to go on. Building from the ground up and understanding all the foundations within. I always wonder about treatments which don't have this benefit, although the results in terms of lifestyle change sound extremely positive.

One of the hardest parts of therapy is diagnosis of what to work on. Even though an issue will be "presenting" itself clearly, it can often be a bit of a decoy. For example, a lack of self-esteem is often a useful derivative of an unconscious fear of upsetting others. Low self-esteem => avoid situations/behaviours that upset others.

During therapy I found dreams, when analysed outside of the "conventional" Freudian/Jungian frameworks provided a simple and accurate method of reaching the root diagnosis (the fear of upsetting others vs. the decoy issue of low self-esteem).
