I see what you're saying from a human's subjective point of view.

If aliens from Tralfalmadore were to adopt the same values, they might choose to experiment on humans because

- humans don't live as long as Tralfalmadorians

- humans don't mourn each other the same way Tralfalmadorians do, and these humans couldn't anyway because they'll all be dead soon

- in nature, humans typically die violent deaths anyway, so lab humans aren't suffering worse than a wild human would

- humans don't get sick and suffer for as long as Tralfalmadorians do

- humans can't predict their expiry date like Tralfalmadorians can

> I'm far from being taxed at 100% (~50% marginal all in) and my motivation to increase my pay is already very low.

Do you think that's because you're already making enough money to put you at or near the top tax bracket? Sounds like your lack of motivation is because you're already making enough and don't need more, not that the government might get an extra 8% out of you.
!!!

Holy cow, that's a crazy failure. Many cars have a zone between idle, and some greater RPM that is essentially a no charge condition. But what a consequence! Having dimmed lights, or an erratic instrumement display is the worst I've seen.

My older Honda has a fairly wide zone, 600 to about 1200 RPM. Annoying on high load days, and I've often wondered why this isn't designed out. Maybe it's wider due to car age and component wear / variation. I've installed a pretty great battery and see a little light dim, and that's about it.

One day I had an alternator failure and some distance to drive to get a new one basically. Made it, but right near the end, the instrument panel would go into reset and the car into some limp mode. Not the end of the world, particularly given I was expecting some failure as battery voltage dropped below 11 volts.

It was close enough to lose instruments entirely, but the engine ran anyway. All in all, it was a pretty graceful failure.

That rando full torque action seems crazy! And at 10! That's definitely a scenario, as you have found out, that can happen enough to seemingly be a problem.

So, what happened! Suddenly, your car is off the road, or what?

Seems like your sore thumb is the least of the potential bad things going on right then.
>Schools increase parent productivity

I'm a parent, and I work-from-home. We just had winter break. I had 2 kids not in school and 2 kids not in day care. I definitely had a productivity drop.

I had a meeting where all 4 kids took turns interrupting me. I had things to do, and a daughter would "just appear" and ask me about some weird question. They would come in each afternoon and ask me when I was going to finish work amd play with them - and yes, I played with them (no regrets!).

Also, my oldest daughter tested positive for covid yesterday, so we kept all 4 home today. Even with my wife handling the "learning form home", I still got interrupted: how do I log in, what do I need to learn, where is the website, can I eat "this".

I'm not sure I follow your point of separating productivity hits from summer/Thanksgiving/Christmas. My points about these past 2 weeks hold for thr upcoming summer.

I do not believe covid vaccines are intentionally killing people. The chance of that being the case is maybe 1 in a (m/b)illion who knows.
(is it too much or not much risk to mandate it on everyone given the alternative(everyone gets infected etc)?)

There exist groups however who would decrease population no matter what, because they think that is the only way to "save the planet", right?

There are other possibilities where the vaccines are preferred by evil conspirators, but I won't go into it because figuring out how evil people would think is not making me happy at all.

i'm so glad more and more people are coming to this realization. the nytimes is an awful news source, npr as well, for their unadulterated power bias: they want, and want to support, (democrat) power, and will run with any democrat narrative that meets that objective. it simply doesn't matter if the narrative has factual basis, or if a 180° reversal is required, as repetition will be used to ingrain it in sympathetic minds to be broadcast into enclaves and social groups all over.

I’ve heard anecdotally of remote workers moving to places like Florida due to tax policies. That makes sense to me, since it isn’t clear what the high taxes of CA actually get you. Other politically-similar states like WA are also raising taxes - in their case it is illegal to levy a graduated income tax per state law, but they’re nevertheless trying to do so and hoping the courts rule in the state’s favor (https://www.washingtonpolicy.org/publications/detail/capital...). Then there’s also the mandate-oriented approach to COVID in many states, which removes individual agency and replaces it with authoritarian approaches. Then there’s huge surges in crime (shoplifting, catalytic converter theft, burglaries, etc) brought on by defunding and soft-on-crime restorative justice policies.

Add it all up, and it really does feel like many states are practicing hostile governance under the banners of being progressive or following the science or whatever. Florida is not for me, but I can see its attractiveness - good weather, low taxes, higher liberty, and handling basic governance like crime. I’m not surprised that many are seeking out something like it.

> For example, the discovery protocol can be tuned so that no legacy box has any reason to forward the packet, say using TTL=1 etc., while extended boxes will recognize the magic datagram and take apropriate action.

At that point discovery is following different routing rules from regular packets, which isn't going to work. You could set the same magic flag on all next-gen packets, but then we're right back to having separate networks.

> Routing loops would not form if they don't exist already, the extended links are, at most, a subset of the non-looping topology already established

In that case the whole thing is completely pointless? The whole point of all this is to be able to have more routing destinations than IPv4.

> When you upgrade the software on your equipment to IPng, the existing IPv4 connection becomes an IPng connection. Depending on the capability of upstream, you will be able to use some or all of the IPng features, but existing functionality will never break.

> Routers that upgrade don't require any special configuration, in the absence of extended routes they pass-through trafic obliviously, yet they are ready from day one to work with extended routes if any are published. Whereas an IPv6 router is essentially two distinct routers into one, the IPv6 part is useless without sysadmin attention, more attack surface.

This is concretely the same for IPv4+IPv6. The difference between "routing to IPv4 addresses over IPv4 only" and "routing according to the new system" is just as big whether you call it a new protocol or call it an extension to an existing protocol.

There's no way to let legacy hosts connect to hosts that don't have IPv4 addresses. There's no way to let hosts that don't have IPv4 addresses connect to legacy hosts (except for NAT or equivalents like DS-Lite). The only thing backwards compatibility can ever do is let hosts with IPv4 addresses use your protocol to communicate with other hosts with IPv4 addresses - but there's no motivation for those hosts to upgrade since they can already use IPv4.

> This aspect of zero configuration, plug and play compatibility both backward and forward, is fundamental. Almost any hardware you can find on the internet today is IPv6 capable, sometimes for decades, yet nobody can be bothered to configure them to work on the weird parallel internet to which no customers are demanding access.

Every possible solution makes hosts without IPv4 addresses a weird parallel internet, there's no getting away from that, and so as long as IPv4 addresses were available adoption was always going to be an uphill struggle. IPv6 at least delivers benefits to users without requiring every router on the internet to upgrade first - as soon as there's one server with an IPv6 address then clients have a reason to upgrade, and vice versa. Technically-minded gamers and voice-chatters do make the effort to enable IPv6, or even ask their ISP to enable it. It's not much, but it's a bigger incentive than exists for IPng.

Perhaps, in the state between our last waking moments and death, it could be possible that we might have a spiritual realization about the way we've treated others and ultimately lived our lives. Perhaps, we are given one last chance to view the events of our life from a "higher" point-of-view, thus giving us a chance to reflect upon our memories and look back upon the actions we've taken throughout the course of our lifetimes.

I think you'd like the film Mullholland Drive (2001), it dealt with this theme in such a profound way, that to be honest, it completely transformed my whole way of thinking around death, life, hopes, fears and the essence of dreams. Would definitely recommend, by far one of the best films I've ever seen.

> I am going to guess you have never written down an economic model, much less presented one at an economics seminar. If your model can be "tuned to forecast whatever", you are going to be annihilated. You will never be able to get away with presenting a model like that. There is no place for it in the field.

A poorly specified model will get ripped apart when presented in an academic context. I've seen it happen in seminars. Questions about the standard errors (robust? clustered?), omitted variable bias, whether things have been detrended, fixed effects, quality of the instrumental variable, etc. When econometrics is done properly and by the book, it can be a useful tool for analyzing observational data.

But these tools get regularly applied outside of academia and the results are presented to people who can't critically evaluate them. Nobody knows that you ran a million other regressions in STATA, and kept the significant one. Or that your result isn't robust when you excluded/included such-and-such variables. When research is motivated in a particular direction (as it often is in politics and consulting), then you can often pull the levers and turn the dials until you get the result you want.
No, these questions are not interesting, or profound, or wise and I am sorry you find them still mysterious.

It doesn't give you that ability though. The reason we use Google and Facebook OAuth is because Google and Facebook did their due diligence with the account. We would just accept any OAuth provider if we didn't care about that validation.
