First thing you need to do is define the term: Success

Living in the US of America is already a success compared with most other places in the world.

Success for most people is not making a billion dollar company. Success for them is being able to raise a family, work on their own, pursue their interests and be free. In the US you can do that way easier than in the rest of the world.

Billionaires are not happier than other people. Sleeping on your job like Musk and working all the time will not make you happier. And most people will not do that if they have the opportunity, they will prefer doing things like spending more time with their family even if that means they don't get to be billionaires.

I have seen men living isolated in Winter in Alaska and they were happy, because that is what they wanted to do.

Obviously is you raise your bar so high (billion dollars) almost nobody will do it. But in the US you can actually make millions and have a freedom the rest of the world envies, if that is what you want, or maybe you want to surf all day long.

Probably if you want to surf all day long and make a billion company it is way harder, but even that is possible in the USA, like the GoPro founder proves(he also bankrupted the company extracting so much for himself).

In other countries the educative system selects early on(ten years old) who is going to be engineer or doctor, don't let you have kids (or now they want to force you to have them), have way less economic opportunities and horrible salaries, there are no self employed people, or tax you to death.

Also the optimism the USA HAS is an enormous economic advantage over Asia, Europe and Africa.

North Americans exterminated the native population living there very recently, almost in 20th century, and as a result have an enormous country with bast resources for a population that is small and young compared with Europe or Asia.

Also they attract the brightest talent from the rest of the world, that does not like to be confiscatory taxed or censored or prosecuted.

In most Europe and specially Asia most people is so old that Pessimism is part of the culture, it is an illness. Africa is young but pure chaos and extremely corrupt few places there have the peace you need to prosper working.

In Japan for example, if you have an idea on your own almost everybody will try to sabotage it. Your friends and your family, for your own good.
Does showing a lottery winner increase the number of people that purchase lottery tickets?

I feel that there are large parts of academia that have fallen behind, not to "industry" at large, but to marketing. :(

Edit: To be fair, this is a study that is worth doing.
I simply love pouring my self a glass or two of scotch and spend an hour or two in solitude staring out at the winter weather and the mountains surrounding my home while low ambient music plays in the background (British Sea Power and Stellardrone are some of my favorites at the moment).

Some of my deepest reflections on my self and my life have come about during those moments.

I do exercise constraint however, only doing this occasionally (1-2 p. month) and limit the amount to 2-3 glasses. So never truly let go like the article mentioned (I don't think that is actually needed, and will become harmful in the long run).
Did… did you email them? Why? What did they say back?
Always happy to read compilers, Rust, or VMs. One quick and cheap trick that can help your VM, especially when you have a lot of arithmetics: explicitly represent the top of stack. Eg.

Instruction::Add => {
let left = data.pop().unwrap();
top = left + top;
pc += 1;
}
Instruction::Subtract => {
let left = data.pop().unwrap();
top = left - top;
pc += 1;
}
Instruction::LessThan => {
let left = data.pop().unwrap();
top = if left < top { 1 } else { 0 });
pc += 1;
}
Would it be possible to use the Custom Elements API [1] to wrap the evalFromTo() function as a custom element?

If we define a custom element like:

class PrintOutput extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
super();
const templateNode = document.getElementById(this.getAttribute('from'));
if (templateNode) evalFromTo(templateNode, this);
}
}

customElements.define('print-output', PrintOutput);

Then instead of calling the evalFromTo() function:

<div id=counterout></div>
<script>
evalFromTo(document.querySelector('#counterapp'), document.querySelector('#counterout'));
</script>

We could simply use the <print-output> custom element:

<print-output from=counterapp></print-output>

On the other hand, belief in success is often a prerequisite to putting effort or resources towards a goal. Failure can teach important lessons to those willing to learn and adapt. Probability can be an interesting tool for approximating conditions, but ultimately if we are looking to profit from our actions we need to think about things from a deterministic perspective.

I agree that a class of ridiculous "prosperity preachers" exists. These people sell a product which is similar to a diet fad. A fantasy people can indulge in without doing hard work or making sacrifices.

Most people choose to focus on their successes. They might not list all of their failures. Meanwhile, those who have failed and quit might choose to focus on their failures. Unsolved problems become unsolvable items beyond their control. Themes of unfairness and the unreasonable expectations surrounding them usually follow.

If we are to acknowledge survivor's bias, we should also acknowledge "croaker's bias". Just like there is irrationality surrounding prosperity preachers, there is also toxicity surrounding the "can't do", "it is all unfair", "he just got lucky", "because silver spoon" ideology. No effort is required to engage with this toxic ideology's self-fulfilling failure mode.
Interesting, but aren't humans terrible at shuffling a deck of cards truly randomly?

That would undermine the result, but I'm not sure to what extent.
I've always wondered what exactly the meaning was of the entity in Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore", which dressed as Colonel Sanders (and Johnny Walker) guides the character in a Chunichi Dragons cap around town. I'm not sure this makes it any clearer, but it's hard not to think there's some in-joke involved.
Youtube’s claims are that the channel violates “sensitive events” or “violence” themes, which I don’t really take at face value. Especially with all the actual gore promoting content of youtube this was an presentation vlog, without claiming any specific accuracy. Most likely it was maliciously flagged for presenting the simplistic methodologies of said agencies.
Presenting agency methodology is absolutely free speech and has been a target of random and sometimes unrelated harassment and legal actions for many years in many cases (stop and frisk, polygraph pseudoscience, racial profiling, journalist harassment in general etc)
I came here to post this. These days with one or two M.2 slots on the mainboard and optical drives going out of fashion, cases could/should be vastly smaller.

If you're happy with an iGPU, the Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny M75q with their 1 litre cases are very appealing. You can't really buy such small cases for DIY builds, unfortunately.
I suspect that I probably just notice the times in the terminal that it is hard for me. I also use a rollermouse. Which, I love, but I have found I am nowhere near as accurate with it as I probably should be.
Aren’t there formulations which do away with space-time by treating it as an emergent feature?
That is not how Rust documents expect() should be used. Rust's own documentation (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/) contains:

let mut file = File::create("valuable_data.txt").unwrap();
file.write_all(b"important message").expect("failed to write message");

The use of .expect("Could not read file") is consistent with Rust's documentation.

And I agree with OP that .expect() is poorly named. I wouldn't raise it as an issue on the work of others who just use Rust and are stuck with it though.
Interesting, but I'm vastly more interested in the LowFER bands than broadcasting alongside FM radio bands.
It's pretty impressive that the courts in Australia can, in appropriate circumstances, hear and determine a judicial review application, before three judges, over a weekend.

It gives me great confidence in the rule of law, in that federal Executive power can be kept in check without undue delay.

I've managed to resist getting a smartphone for as long as possible. This got to be impossible for me at roundabout the year of 2018 with some of the developments in the 2FA space. For example two of my banks now make it impossible to use their online banking unless you have their 2FA apps and I can't log in to my employer's systems without a 2FA app (and you can only get those on the Apple App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android).

The pragmatic solution for me has been to have a smartphone without a SIM card, only connected to WiFi, lying around in my office and not carrying it around with me.

But I fear that the next development is around the corner that will now finally force me to carry a smart phone with me, namely things like Corona checkin apps or restaurants no longer doing printed menus and instead having QR codes at tables for fetching their menus from the web. -- The cost-benefit tradeoff of such developments strikes me as insanely bad, but unfortunately it seems to be where humanity is headed.
Hey, I remember looking at your operating system in the 90'. I do not remember where I find it. It's nice to read about it today.
Absolutely, I work with blocks that only vaguely direct me with working on things I need to. With iOS calendar on Mac and phone it’s also easy to flip things around as you go.

I just have an X amount of time in my week outside of my varying weekly study schedule so I plug things in and allocate with a lot of buffers in-between to not be too tight.

It’s important to not be too harsh on yourself if you didn’t manage to do something. Just move it over to next week free block and re-adjust it on your next planning session on Sunday.

If it is something extra important with a deadline, mark it with a couple of exclamation marks. You can then at the end of week also review your progress with your longer-term goals. Voila! Works!

In my opinion, this is the right outcome but with a lot of unnecessary drama. He shouldn’t have been issued the visa in the first place, and the organisers and the govt should’ve made it clear that past illness isn’t considered grounds for exception.

Now the anti-vaxxers will be out in force and who knows what else.
The biochemist isn’t a doctor, but there’s a reason the old hippocratic oath begins with “First, do no harm. Then, do good.”

When you’re talking about your own health, you’re an adult and you’re free to do what you want. When you’re talking about other people’s health, a more cautious approach is appropriate.
Hopefully capitalism will one day automate everything to the point no labor is necessary and society will evolve into post scarcity rather than communism.

I don't subscribe to the opinion that all "imports" are bad, and that everything indigenous was miraculous and glorious. For goodness' sake, you probably typed your message on a Chinese-made device in a language that is not your mother tongue, as did I. That doesn't make us less of anything, does it?

Even the quintessentially southern Idli is rumoured to be a 12th century import brought down to the south by migrating Saurashtrians. (Mentioning this over other theories, since it seems to have the strongest documentary evidence). That isn't going to stop me enjoying my Idli with Sambar (which too is apparently a culinary import!).

By and large, cultural exchange makes the world a richer place. Are there unsavoury parts to human history? Yes. Even the Cholas (for example) conquered and colonized lands far away from where they were born, did they not?
Not an accountant but this looks great! I imagine it could be quite useful for personal finance as well (with a bit more development).
I can see the appeal, "use this and become the next Google".

However, like you said, without a clear vision and long-term strategy, OKRs basically become "management wishlist".

OSM contains errors and I don't know how to fix them.
For example, it shows a 115kv line that branches off into Palo Alto and back out through Mountain Veiw before rejoining the main line along Steven's Creek.
This line is NOT continuous and in fact only the part north from the Palo Alto substation is active. That's the section that was hit by the small plane carrying Tesla execs a number of years back. That incident knocked the entire city offline because the other part of the line I'm talking about is NOT hooked up.
The article makes it look like the existence of this cult is an extremely widely-known fact and thus it doesn't need much introduction. But I only learned about it after clicking this link.

It weirds me out that some people are so amenable to this kind of thing, enough to kill themselves.
Here's the comment (from CaptainWafflez, 11 months ago):
"For anyone wondering:
There is a longer version of this video on YouTube which explains the rest of the story. This is a juvenile male Giant Squid which floated to the surface to die after a scuffle with some other creature. In the extended video you can see that its skin is ripped, scarred, peeling and white, all signs of imminent death. Its behaviour of latching onto the board to stay afloat also supports the fact that is is severely wounded. It is a frequent behaviour of Giant Squid to head to the surface to die. This one in particular is not big enough to be an adult Giant Squid, it must be a juvenile. In the extended version, you can actually see it release sperm on the beach towards the end of the video. It is doing this as a last second attempt at reproduction as they are about to die in the hopes that the sperm will be able to find a nearby Giant Squid female's eggs. This also proves that it is a juvenile male, since Giant Squid don't reproduce/mate frequently and only release their limited sperm on rare occasions. This particular Giant Squid was too young to have found a mate yet, so it released its only sperm as it was dying in a last ditch effort to reproduce. As for the injuries, they are likely a result of a scuffle with a large whale, shark, or even a larger Giant Squid (perhaps while trying to mate). The people in the video aren't at fault here because the squid was about to die and if anything they put it out of its misery by taking it in.""
The materials used for induction woks have very low heat capacity, but are very good at conducting heat. They get instantaneously hot, and instantaneously cold, with just the press of a button in your stove.

This is pretty much the case for all good induction kitchen-ware, since this is one of the main ways of cooking that induction allows that no other kitchen powersupply has.

I fought like a mad man, because I had to try to become rich in shithole country that was busy imploding and erecting discrimination laws against my class of people... so it was not easy, but success already can be quite hard without a bit of luck... I made it... it was insane... yes it is very satisfying to have financial freedom... but oh boy the price I paid, I dunno if I can recommend it. I was the kind of guy who would crawl through broken glass (like Elon said) to get to success. I used to look. down on people who didn't persue their goals or didn't have grand goals... I do not anymore because I know it's not cowardice it could be entirely sensible. The price of. success can be very high. Sometimes too. high. Especially if you value other things that money does not buy. Still, money buys freedom and options. Which for. a creatively driven person who does not fit in well with the world, this is a VERY valuable thing.

Unfortunately the media are focused on the vax / anti-vax aspect of the situation.

The core of the matter is that Djokovic and/or his agents provided contradictory and false information in the visa application. It is for that reason alone that the visa could not be granted. The many other issues raised were simply smoke-screen to divert attention to a popular divisive issue.
Not a problem in KDE.
"We are listening to your feedback" is corporate speech for "we don't give a shit about your opinion" especially when Microsoft is involved.
> No, it's not.

Yes it is. If there's a body, and a claim, unless it is an act of God, there is never any dispute. In these cases, payment is automatic. There may be a separate lawsuit for unlawful death or pain and suffering or anything under the sun, but the workers comp claim is automatically approved and paid.

> There is distinct law and legal process around workers comp...

What you're talking about is convention. Convention is not law, it is merely an arbitrarily adopted process. This is not a subset of personal injury law, it is personal injury law.

> the claim I took issue with.

Let's get back to the statistics (which obliterate your objection):

only 7% of workers comp claims are denied. Only 5% get to an appeal hearing, and only a tiny fraction resolve in lawsuit. 93% of all workers comp claims are accepted outright without a fight.

If 93% of all claims are accepted outright, then the notion that workers comp lawyers exist means there's always, often, or usually a fight (oops, missed your fallacy assuming the conclusion) is false. In fact, the verifiable truth is nearly all claims are accepted and paid without dispute, as 93% is nearly all.

Disagree all you wish, it is your right, but you will continue to be mistaken.
They likely don't have POP3/IMAP though which is what would be required for the reading aspect.

You can use inotify to figure out what files are opened, closed or when they are written too. Can be used for example to indicate active file downloads in the file manager.

However I don't think that's quite enough, as most apps will close the files again after they have read them. There is no need to keep them open, as you are working on their in-memory representation, not on the file on the disk until you hit 'Save'. So this seems more like a desktop level feature similar to "Recent Files", where the apps has to manually announce what it is doing instead of relying on low level file operations to figure it out.
Oh yeah 100%

Right now its just the core functionality. But now I'm starting to think about all the scripts I can run can track everything happening in my personal life. So things like tracking my bank accounts, linking the data with my budgeting spread sheets. So much to build!!

The Minister's decision to remove Djokovic was essentially because his entry may give rise to anti-vaccination sentiment in the community which might undermine health or good order in Australia. Or, at minimum, this is the aspect of the decision which was challenged in court.

As I understand it, in the reasons the Minister provided Djokovic, the Minister said, in effect, that any lie on the application did not affect his reasoning process. If that's right, it would follow that the media is right to not focus on it.

Unfortunately legal representation is bought by six figure fees. Lawyers are simply mercenaries for hire by whomever will pay sufficiently well to get them out of bed on a Sunday morning to argue a case.

Unfortunately public defenders and pro-bono human rights advocates are not as motivated.
I always liked the quote "Most advice is people giving you their winning lottery ticket numbers". There is always something to learn from others but you can’t just take their exact circumstance and map it onto yours.

This is such self absorbed and delusional opinion!

Your point proves point of the article. US is extremely hostile to families. It is incredibly expensive to raise children. System itself is rigged against families, it tries to tear family structure apart. Even finding fertile partner who wants children is very difficult.

Let us know when you get pregnancy leave and affordable health care :)
I agree on the drama part adding the hypocrisy factor on top. Someone who has shown clear disrespect of other people by knowing that he is positive and going around in general and also without measures and tries on top to appear as the victim of others , is a clear indication that he will stop nowhere and especially for the current situation it should have been straightforward be banned from entry AND the relevant organization - ATP in this case - should have taken a clear stand, money aside as much as possible, since their product will still be there in 4-5 years when this guy will not be there any longer

A SaaS company, Salmon as a Service, providing next day delivery of fresh salmon, when the same thing can be bought at the local store.

There's a few online fish companies here in the UK. They're doing well. It might be easier because British people are slightly obsessed with Scottish salmon, and the country is much smaller which makes overnight delivery simpler.
