This seems totally opposite of what old people say on their death bed. You sound so obsessed with money here. My guess is your probably very wealthy relative to the average peer and your too naive to realize it. You have to keep telling yourself this philosophy to justify not wind surfing in Bali.

You think your gonna wind surf when your 60? You think it's smart to spend your 'non arthritis' fingers on coding?
I developed a rule of thumb for my kids (boy/girl): one individual sport/activity, one team sport, and (boy/girl) scouting. Some parents do even more, but we feared either they or we would get overwhelmed. The individual activity included ballet, bowling, gymnastics, swimming, or whatever they wanted to try out.

So, global-yet-Western corporations outsourced manufacturing to to China, some "unfair" trades that have long-term benefits for China happened, and now Chinese companies can now compete against those corporations (at least on Amazon).

I don't see how the West is lost, even after the author claims that if there's a war against China, "You’d need to walk around naked because you have no shirt, pants, socks, or underwear". Global-yet-Western Companies that outsourced manufacturing to China like Nike and Apple seem to be doing very well.

Furthermore, why is the fact that Chinese companies can compete after 30 years (while following the CCP rules) a bad thing? Did globalization go wrong because this wasn't supposed to happen? Was China supposed supposed to just be the world's cheap manufacturing for eternity? If so, a better title for this article would be "How China Was Not Lost".
This essay was published in 1941. I feel like this entire take might need a big "And then what happened?" suffix on it regarding the consequences of jingoism, and nationalism in general.

From https://www.haiku-os.org/about/ :

> Haiku is an open source operating system under constant development. Specifically targeting personal computing, Haiku is a fast, efficient, simple to use, easy to learn, and yet very powerful system for computer users of all levels.

...

> What’s so good about Haiku anyway?

> The key highlights that distinguish Haiku from other operating systems include:

Specific focus on personal computing
Custom kernel designed for responsiveness
Fully threaded design for great efficiency with multi-processor/core CPUs
Rich object-oriented API for faster development
Database-like file system (BFS) with support for indexed metadata
Unified, cohesive interface

> The game plan should’ve been built around there non-compliance.

That is correct, and that's why they proposed the OSHA rule for mandating vaccinations after months of incentives. I think some % of non-compliance is understandable, but the remaining unvaccinated seem to be doing it for political reasons over anything else.

> As far as lockdowns are concerned, we have had the mass shutdown of in person school and work, as well as the forced closure of many restaurants and entertainment venues.

Right, we had those last year. Not since, in America at least.

Dissociative identity disorder (I agree with your point)
I didn't want to for decades, despite obvious symptoms, for fear of dependency or being labeled a drug seeker and because of the stigma implied by comments like this. Could be I was the only person those drug education programs worked on.

I'm glad I finally did. That one little pill makes me a better and happier person.
Dissociative Identity Disorder is my guess.

Not for the first time I look at (and learn from) the work of Commodore nuts and wonder at the beauteous insanity them systems induce in people. Cause or effect? Did they cast the cases with some miracle psychoactive superdrug accidentally? is PETSCII actually the divine language?

Really? Spiderman and Elsa having diarrhea is that much worse than presenting family model with woman being a washing machine and kids getting beaten by their dad? Nutella is a healthy breakfast and all cool kids smoke cigarettes. Shut up and do your job.

As far as I remember standards were not higher. They were different.

Plus really, the cartoons I remember were full of stuff like find a sleeping pills in parents cabinet, give somebody as a joke, put a pin on a chair so somebody sits on it etc. Racism everywhere. Stuff that is even hard to find nowadays because they had to scrub it. Sexually suggestive themes, like have you watched lion king? Or anything really... it seemed to be way more explicit.

We luckily tend to remember past as better than it was. There's also nostalgia element and there's cultural difference. Just like there are different cultures around the globe and most think that other ones are gross, the same happens in the time dimension.

Given their source, I think either what they wrote is not what they meant, or they misread the DSM.

Specifically, it’s important to differentiate between symptoms “emerging” in adulthood vs. being identified in adulthood. What they wrote implies that most adult diagnoses are likely not ADHD if they did not get a diagnosis earlier in life.

>>So, you're saying I should run my unlicensed nuclear testing facilities?

That is not a voluntary interaction. Nuclear reactors pose an uncontrolled risk to all those in their vicinity.

Yours is a hyperbolic analogy, and likely just a trope you wheel out whenever you encounter an opponent of your anti-libertarian "you only have the rights I agree you should have" ideology.

>>It's a hyperbole, but Bitcoin suffer from both of those: heavy externalities, and interfacing with black market.

I've already commented on how the externalities should be addressed.

As for the "black market" angle, there is a fundamental difference between designs for weapons of mass destruction, and targeted restrictions on their dissemination, and dragnet controls over all financial interactions, in an attempt to preempt a host of crimes.

The former targets a true threat, and takes proportionate measures to mitigate it. The latter rejects the first principles of a free and liberal society, in instituting warrantless mass-surveillance and centralized gatekeeping of practically all private economic interactions, in the name of preempting crime, and in doing so, creates a hyper-centralized power structure that is in itself a massive threat to humanity.
My interpretation of that line is that: Whether you encounter triumph or disaster is too often determined by factors outside your control. There will be times in your life when you try your hardest but still fail. And, other times, you will succeed despite your worst effort. And so, triumph and disaster are imposters insofar that they are inaccurate reflections of the things that truly matter -- persistence, hard work, integrity, etc.

> some of these security alerts...were likely triggered in error

Our VP made no statement about the totality. Draw what conclusions you may from the equivocal register of this public-relations statement, but he is relegating his statement to those alerts which, by his own words, he cannot say to a certainty whether or not they were triggered in error. I presume that this statement is calculated to exclude all those alerts that they can know were legitimate. If you want to expand the scope of the statement, then the only implication would be that they cannot discern the legitimate from the illegitimate alerts.

The only purpose of my comment was to draw attention to the apparent equivocation, that is, the art of misleading without lying. If they can't tell right from wrong (alerts), so much the more damning.
You don't want people who have medical degrees and are experts in their field treating you?

Because you have a better understanding of this than they do?

That seems like a strange position to take.

I would take a different position, like "what do these highly qualified health care workers understand that I don't?"
Meh. You're arguing, correctly, that something was lost. But you're failing to recognize that the value of what was lost has changed. Continuing your RCA example: making CRT televisions in the 1960's was a high tech growth industry with huge margins that created billionaires and made life better for uncounted millions. By the 1980's they were commodity products differentiated only on price, and saw their manufacturing driven into low wage regions as part of the resulting competition. And by 2005 no one wanted them any more at all.

Do you want CRT manufacturing back in the USA? No? Me neither.

That's what's happened with PCBs and phone displays and enclosures. Sure, they're important. But they don't make much money. In fact most of the price of an iPhone ends up going not to the component manufacturers and assembly houses in Guangdong but to this weird looking building in Cupertino California that doesn't make anything at all.

And yeah, it's true: that could happen to Apple! But it will happen to Apple when Apple's products have become valueless commodities, and we'll all be talking about something else (Tesla Home Robots, I dunno) that has captured the global attention as the new growth fad.
That was a great discovery, thanks!

"Doing weird shit rocks!" I want this in a sticker.
If anything it's a sign of mental strength.

Think about all the people hooked on social media. How is it weak of you to break this cycle for yourself?
Even simpler version - While the West thought the manufacturing was a petty concern and thought it was exploiting cheap Chinese labor, China had a longer term vision and exploited the West's myopic focus on quarterly profits. The West has now lost manufacturing know-how, is now subject to military supply chain issues and trojan horse hardware, has exported it's middle-class creating greater divisions, and given away huge leads in many military and economic fields.

This will go down as a strategic blunder of historic proportions. It may still be recoverable, but it is getting late...

It doesn’t need to be a “slam dunk”. It accomplished what I intended, which is show that you were making claims that were verifiably false.
I'm not sure how valid his argument is, but I don't think you are presenting it fairly.

> Race is a statistical risk factor for covid because it correlates with numerous conditions like lower vaccination rates, higher obesity in some groups, worse medical care and so on.

This is plainly stated in the article. As is the fact that people with medical conditions (like obesity, or things that are the result of poor medical care) are already prioritized. Vaccination status is not.

His hypothesis seems to be that prioritizing non-white people is an attempt to prioritize unvaccinated people (seeing as the other risk factors are already being accounted for). He is claiming that it is more acceptable to exclude white people from the treatment than it is to say that you are giving preference to people who are unvaccinated.

> But with the Omicron variant now the dominant COVID strain in New York, both the city and state are facing severe shortages in the availability of effective antiviral monoclonal treatments

With the Omicron variant now the dominant strain, the evidence is that there are no effective antiviral monoclonal treatments; there are two that seem to be exceptions, but neither one is available or even in trials in the US.

Humor me; when has that happened? Off the top of my head - Open Office is still dead, netbsd and openbsd are both fine but I don't think the fork played into that, neovim gave vim a kick but they'd stagnated and Haiku hasn't... actually, that's a trend; forks help when the original has stalled, but Haiku is healthy and happy to take contributions.

When a mind is blown, sometimes it literally explodes.
A major problem with Unicode is that it gives you strange ideas about text: that you can somehow take human text encoded in Unicode and answer questions like "how many letters does this have" or "are these two pieces of text different" or "split this text into words" in a way that works generically for any langauge or context.

These are all myths, and APIs for such things are bugs. The only thing you can meaningfully do with two pieces of arbitrary Unicode text is to say if they are byte-by-byte equal. For any other operation, you need to have specific business logic.

For example, are "Ionuț" and "Ionut" and "Ionutz" the same string or different strings? There is no generic answer: depending on the intended business logic, they may be identical or not (e.g. if we consider these to be Romanian names, they should be considered identical for search purposes, but probably not identical for storage purposes, where you want to remember exactly how the person spelled their name).

A related problem is that most langauges have no separate types for Text/String on one hand, and Symbol on the other. Text or other Strings should be opaque human text, that can only be interpreted by specific code, offering almost no API (only code point iteration). Symbols should be a restricted subset of Unicode that can offer fuller features, such as lengths, equality, separation into words etc. This would be the type of JSON key names used in serialization and deserialization, for example.
Have an upvote - these things are all cultural and this could be solid advice if OP in a similar setting :)
That’s not how reflections work. Also there’s no bug as big as a coin that such a system could/should kill, so it’s pretty easy to not misdetect that.

Again, corners have a higher probability of ending up in your eye than even just someone flipping a coin in 2022.
That is why classified systems exist, they act as a last ditch mechanism to ensure that the ruling class isn't inconvenienced by silly things like "the law". How many people have been locked up for lying to Congress about their illegal activities at the NSA? What about the people at the FBI who knowingly misrepresented evidence while renewing secret FISA court surveillance orders? You remember the so called "Satanic Panic" in the late 80's? Did you know that documents were declassified last year proving that it wasn't a silly conservative overreaction to Iron Maiden, but something that was actually happening - and the CIA was (for whatever reason) coordinating the media's handling of events? Do you think the law hindered those government employees assisting in the trafficking of those children, or saw to their punishment? Nope.
Not sure if it applies here, also not a physicist, so just some food for thought:

I've noticed that many of humanity's models try to simplify things into neat models and that results in either
- many specific models, each focusing on a specific macro-behaviour
- one statistical model which basically describes the underlying process as non-deterministic

Couple that with performance debugging 101:
Measuring the performance of a function changes the performance of a function

(Fudamentally because you can't see without interacting, and sometimes that interaction creates weird results)

And the conclusion is that Quantum Mechanics is a statistical model of a complex hot path which we're trying to measure, so of course it's going to be weird and hard to so.
Props to the author for making excuses to leave early. I’m more likely to drink in excess and resort to indifference, abandon all intellectual drive, and feel like a normal human for a night.

If "modern society" means a centrally controlled society without free choice, then modern society should change. What you're advocating is CCP-style subordination to the state and abolition of the right to engage in voluntary interaction with other consenting adults, and it's a travesty if this is what modern society is normalizing.

It's utterly illiberal, and corrals people into a handful of centralized companies like Venmo, PayPal and Patreon, who can abuse their monopoly status to de-person individuals on the margins, or make it far easier for an authoritarian government to enforce financial lockdowns to repress opposition.

>>Uninformed consent is worse than no consent. People are being duped.

Then don't use crypto, and warn other people to avoid it as well. You thinking the risks of crypto outweigh its benefits doesn't give you a right to take away people's choice in the matter.

My constant dilemma these days is whether to focus more of my young years in new experiences and fun, or if I'll regret it later because I should have invested in a more financial goal.

Your link does not claim that. In fact, their study specifically states: "We only had repeated screen-time and behavior data available for a sub-sample of our cohort (n = 367) which limited our ability to determine directionality. As such, it is possible parents may respond to children who exhibit externalizing behavior difficulties by offering more screen-time or using increased opportunity for screen-time as a self-soothing strategy. "

> Also in todays age where nobody remembers phone numbers anymore

~7 years ago my passenger called me from jail, because he'd memorized my phone number. I went to visit, got his gmail password, tried to call a few people for him. His bail was only $300, bailed him out myself... He promptly missed his next court date. Went to the bail revocation hearing, on my birthday, 7 years ago, and got most of that $300 back.

A few years later he got mickeyed up again, didn't even realize there was a warrant out for his arrest. I went to his hearing, judge was like, "you've really pulled yourself together... But I have to do something..." Think it was a few weeks in jail. I sent $ to buy snacks, he sent me a postcard (which I still have), which said how meaningful it was to have someone on the outside who cared enough about him to send $. He seems to be doing well now.

I consider it very important to have my important phone numbers memorized, on account of this story.
