While I agree with no. 2, I think part of the reason that makes me not do it is realizing that I will have to do it all my life if I become a faculty. I have seen my friends graduated from Ph.D. and they literally told me that their life is basically the same, except that they now have service tasks to do on top of research. To think that I will always have to plug away and not have enough time for family or relationships makes me a bit demotivated.
Not necessarily from this particular set of people though.

Indeed I have, appearing later in this thread due to how it became organized by moderation. Digital assets aided in stopping a predatory crime this year. If this kind of usage doesn't satisfy as a rebuttal to a negative parent post containing no supporting information, you may want to examine the fact that this entire thread is meant to explore some technologist's fear-based need to publicly associate digital assets with crime alone, in this forum especially. Emotionally-driven posts meant specifically to steam-roll any and all positive discussion by simply shouting "But Crime!"

Tracking the making of negative generalized statements using FUD techniques is something I have been involved in algorithmically tracking professionally and am countering not in the pursuit of karma or sycophantic agreement but simple public commons maintenance. (The data was often used to identify FUD campaigns of short sellers in finance forums and resulting sentiment analysis feeds are available via subscription through financial data providers.) These comments never mention the continual reigning supremacy of the US dollar for crime, ever, and never provide any evidence that bitcoin has a higher crime usage ratio than the dollar with less prosecutability. This is because law enforcement generally haven't advanced that position while enforcing and in earlier posts I've explained my extensive experience in detail as to how and why they haven't. There has been no direct engagement with this factual information.

In my view some on this forum are intent on spreading classical FUD on the subject and countering FUD is an occupation for some. After a decade of particularly questionable behavior coming from the technology sector involving unfathomable amounts of US dollars, we run the risk of portraying an image of incumbent ideological corruption instead of supporting meaningful technological discussion. This slide has been happening for years IMO and it saddens me. Younger technologists have considerably less opportunity than we did, not more, and the frontier is much smaller. Ruthless negativism doesn't serve them.

Good for you, but beside the point.

The point is that the author claims the model is scientific, but it isn't.
This project makes me proud to be a human. I wish we could put money into things like this only.
It's been a few years since I've seriously looked into some of these places so things may have changed or I am not remembering 100% correctly. Also, some countries listed below require a certain level of passive income as well but I'm not 100% sure which ones.

You can apply for residency in places like Mexico which require very little physical presence to maintain/renew a visa for the first few years. After 3 years (I think) you have to live there for the last 18 months before applying for citizenship.

Chile is the opposite in where you must spend the first 18 months in the country but after that you only really need to be there once a year.

Other countries have generous tourist visas like Turkey. If you rent an apartment for one year in Turkey (anywhere, for any price) you can get a 1 year tourist visa.

Wikipedia has a list of all countries visa policies as well. You could find out about where you are allowed to stay for longer than 90 days somewhere by searching for "visa policy of $COUNTRY".

Then there are places offering visas for remote workers but requires you to live there for at least 6 months of the year (making you a tax resident of that country). This includes places like Portugal, Estonia, Georgia, and the UAE.

I believe in Georgia and the UAE they will not charge income tax for the first year as well but I may be wrong.

If you have deeper pockets there are Golden Visa programs for places like Portugal, Greece, Malta, Cyprus (might be wrong on this one), New Zealand, Georgia, Montenegro, and many Caribbean nations.

Lastly, most every country in the world has some sort of business owners or startup visa. If you're entrepeneurially minded and have sufficient startup capital, you can get a visa pretty much anywhere in the world.

I’ve burnt for years and absolutely build ultra hot fires occasionally to get ride of creosote build up but eventually like you say will get ash build up which can burn or eventually just plug the pipe. You would need access points to use a vacuum because the article showed these things zig zag back and forth to make the heat travel around the bricks. Maybe it just takes years and years since the article claims you only need to burn for a couple hours a day where my wood stove burns all day.

> A bit like every single diet works (compared to no diet) because the fundamental thing is dieting in the sense that you think actively about diet.

(This is completely tangential to the main point, but...)

Every diet "works" because the underlying mechanism driving weight loss is eating less calories than your body uses throughout the day. And almost every diet makes people consume less calories than they normally do, at least at first. That's why every diet "works" at least in the short term.
I was alluding to this when I said "slightly obscure". I still use KeePass, but not that plugin.

Maybe you should extend your concern about those 90% books. IMO, they're just as problematic. They're simply less successful so we pay less attention to them individually, but IMO the trend of having 90% of books sold being total BS dressing as science or personal development is a serious concern.
If the idea is for the entire labor market to change significantly due to everyone voluntarily sharing their salary, then we ought to be talking about a mechanism of ensuring honesty, just like an auction (generally) wants to design their auction in such a way that people are honest about their willingness to pay.
I don't think it is a meaningful distinction. Money itself might not have value, but the miners and nodes are providing value by ensuring the integrity and security of the blockchain.

But more to the point, when I said "intrinsic value" I meant value relative to goods/services. Where as when I used "extrinsic value" I meant relative to other "money" such as fiat. Maybe it was a poor choice of words.
> You feel that you understand where their boundaries are, and what motivates them.

Expect you don't because people do not fit into classes, especially not classes that simple (i.e. only 4).

It means you will behave annoying, toxic or otherwise unpleasant to people because you expect them to have traits/personalities they might _just don't have_.

In my experience any classification I know of is more hurtful for society then it's helpful and should be avoided.

Also in my experience they are quite often used in a slightly degradating way by people outside of that group which either don't understand or like that group or just want to make themself feel better by lifting themself over other people.
I'm not arguing, but for a person suffering from depression, who of the following is right?

A. People saying "It's all in your head" and reducing depression to a non-biological condition (which is not very helpful at best), or

B. Doctors saying "Here, have a pill" and reducing depression to a biological condition?

I think that we still don't know, and maybe it's a bit of both, or maybe neither. But TLA seems to go with the first group, hence my comment.

> As the public demands younger and younger political classes, with lower and lower salaries

Looking into the US senate, I fail to see that trend. In the last presidential election, both candidates were older than my grandparents.

Even in my country, seeing a really young person in a political position is very rare. They exist (if you define "young" as under 40), but they are rare. I don't think age worries are a factor at all.

Rust Ranges and Suffering
I am not qualified to judge the veracity of points 1 through 5. But I can see they have precisely nothing to do with points 6 and 7.
Ways to categorize other people's personalities, such as Myers-Briggs, Swedish Colors, The Zodiac, McCarthyism, devils advocacy, racial profiling, Stockholm Syndrome, and hero worship have always been popular.

Why? Because people need ways to feel like they understand and can predict other people's behavior.

Why? I don't know. It's just something I've observed.

Would you agree, and if so, why do you think that is?
There seemed to be a small wave of pellet furnace installations in Germany 5-10 years ago or so. From what I heard, pellets became so expensive in the meantime that new installations declined. Long story short: there is demand for wood pellets. The price is about 300€/(metric) ton right now.
Sorry, I didn't put it in the example. You have all the numbers in real-time on the link.

My point was more to show that even you have a huge quantity of renewable, that doesn't means that is the correct path to go CO2 wise. Except if you accept that your society adapt itself to a non planned and highly variable electricity production.
> the larger the mass the more stable the object

Not really. Only when scaling mass, margin of error, and forgetting thrust/gravity.

And even if you scaled mass, thrust, and margin of error proportionally, you'd still have an object exactly as stable as before (force X applied to the small object gives you the same acceleration as proportionally scaled force Xs applied to a larger object). Gravity accelerates all things the same, and so do proportionally stronger thrusters.

But being off by one meter can destroy a small drone just as well as a large spacecraft, so you don't have the luxury of scaling your margin of error by significant amounts.

The only reason larger objects appear more stable to humans is because we, and the environment[1], tend to apply relatively weaker forces to them, and also you don't tend to notice they're already moving at 5m/s because of their size.

[1]Larger objects will better compensate for "truly random" forces, if their size causes them to encounter more of them, canceling them out and/or they're generally small.
It's better to have a business with profits and things to fix up than having no business. It's a tradeoff that has been proved to be valid.

Hence "mostly." But if you look at the full Myers-Briggs summary, it slots people into one of 16 categories and then has a nice little writeup describing people in that category. Which is a long way past acknowledging that some people are more comfortable dealing with abstract mental models than others or that some people want to deal with facts over emotions.

The actual science, such as it is, is also rooted into Jungian psychology which doesn't really have a lot of actual science behind it.

> So now I do both. I have some points of view that I can’t defend with data and science and peer review studies.

I do like it when people point out which part of their advice is supported by established science, and which is not. Both can be useful.
It's pop culture psychology and 'people type rumouring' - the oldest game in the book, backed by 'Science' and a bit of capitalism to hustle books.

This isn't surprising.
The easiest way is to compute the directional derivative with some direction pointing upwards. For example u_x + u_y, or convolving the height map with a 3x3 kernel with the following coefficients:

0 -1 0
-1 0 1
0 1 0

You may want to smooth the result if you see too much noise.
As non-scandinavian ... may it have something to do with the strong left/progressive lean of the population?

I say this because one of the biggest problems of every single group or organization that I've seen built around progressive/left/liberal ideas is the tendency to believe in the "everyone has a right to be heard/speak" which leads to everything being dominated by the loudest individuals who are almost always full of BS.

Honestly, I've identified this tendency as the #1 reason why such groups do so poorly in politics, except in situations where the values are just a PR front for a more traditional power structure.

I am cynical and jaded in this area so please take this with a grain of salt. This is just based on my experience trying out many different registrars.

MarkMonitor is the only registrar that comes to mind but even they have had some incidents and not likely you would just move some personal domains there. They are meant for large organizations.

The rest of them in my experience either aren't a full time registrar (CF/AWS) with odd limitations that change with time or have acquired/merged registrars that have become web2.0 front-ends to old systems they acquired and can barely keep them running. I've tried many registrars in the US and EU and can not find one I have confidence in. Every registrar that has features I like also comes with either stability issues or antiquated technical debt and have lost/let-go much of their technical staff. I am not going to name these registrars because for each of them there will be at least a dozen people here that have had nothing but wonderful experiences with them.

So I guess one could minimize risk by having half of their domains on their first choice and half on the second choice then make sure people know to email them at a domain on each registrar. e.g. Use the second registrar for an email domain that is set as a "backup email" in services that support having two or more email addresses.

I know this does not really answer your question. I do not have a good answer.

Using filesystem timestamps is a misfeature of THIS particular redo implementation. Almost all the other redo implementations I know of (which are generally also much faster than apenwarr's redo) use a hash if the timestamp has changed.

Also, redo only lets a given .do file produce ONE output from a set of specified inputs. If you want to enforce this, nothing stops you from writing some declarative tool on top of redo (meaning you would replace the shebangs) which implements the sandboxing. Other than that, it's outside of the scope of concerns of a tool such as redo, and adding it would be a misfeature in my opinion (since it's not directly related to handling of the dependency graph).

Those LNG lobbyist from the US (or should I say neo economic-hitmen) are really worth their money. Would be shame if it backfired and the EU turned to Russia. Gas prices are through the roof, I really hope our politicians are going to think "EU first" for a change.

* Keep the nuclear plants open until we transition fully to renewables. In the meantime:

* Get LNG from the US or natural gas from the Russians depending on market prices. (Ignore those threats/boycots from the US wrt Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, show some cojones)

How hard could it be?
Your wife is bored because she’s gotten what she can out of the program, and the dissertation is a slog. I had the same experience.

This is why there is a term for people who do the whole program but drop out without finishing the dissertation: ABD (all but dissertation). It’s the one non-degree people feel justified to list on their resume, because it takes at least 4 years to get there, and it’s still quite an achievement.

I was ABD for 3 years when I got bored, and I almost quit. I figured since I had all the skills, it didn’t matter that I didn’t have the degree. It’s just a meaningless credential. I asked a friend of mine who had gotten his degree whether it was worth it, and he said “Don’t do it, the plus side isn’t that great”

Then I went to his wedding. He was the only PhD in his family, and his mother made the DJ introduce him as “Doctor”. What he considered a meaningless credential made his whole family so happy and proud. That moment made me change my mind, and I finished my PhD.

And you know what, he was wrong about the credential being meaningless. Employers look at you differently when you are ABD versus PhD. He didn’t experience that because he was never ABD. Truly it was like night and day. Governments care when applying for visas. Grant agencies care. There is also a lucrative market for expert opinions, and ABD are not considered at all in this market. Credentials matter in our society, even if they don’t matter so much in the tech sector.

Anyway, I hope something I said here will convince your wife to stick it out! If you want a specific tip, I would say take a leave of absence. For me I could take up to 2 years off no questions asked, and rejoin. If her school has a similar policy, she can use that time to recharge, and come back fresh and ready to bang out her dissertation.
I was heartened (and a little surprised) that Jack Dorsey recently mentioned that the draconian control of the Twitter API was the worst thing Twitter had done [1].

I wasn't, because he didn't do jack shit to change it. We hear this bullshit all the time; big actors sound off about what was wrong at their previous places, but rarely did they do anything to upset the apple cart.

My pet peeve is that in this worshipping of science (count me guilty) it’s often forgotten that it is ultimately an attempt to model a system from within itself, and thus will never model it fully and prove that it is correct or even validate the very fundamental assumptions (STEM-inspired material monism, some mainstream flavor of dualism, or a riff on transcendental idealism—note how this stuff technically would have huge implications for science, yet is formally outside of its scope because it is impossible to prove or falsify).

So whether it is hard science or ghosts and Grandma’s noodle soup, it is always a belief at the core. One of those is a more detailed model and quite useful at making some predictions, that’s all.

They're not the same things, in the same way that healthy eating and exercise aren't - they're both systemically beneficial. Sleep and meditation are different and serve different purposes, and stretching is closer to exercise than anything else.
