By all means call it a habit if you wish but do distinguish it from a bad habit which I would define as something which makes you feel good without actually being good for you.
I vaguely recall from reading Tainter's book (the bible of collapse porn, amirite?) that currency devaluation was more a consequence rather than a cause. That is, the Roman emperors where trying to save the collapsing house of cards by debasing the currency in order to pay for the expenses of maintaining the empire. Of course, Tainter's whole schtick was that worsening, and eventually negative, marginal returns to increase in complexity is the explanation for why ancient civilizations collapsed, but anyhow, his argument is, at least to a layperson like yours truly, somewhat convincing.

Not even, actually. Optical viewfinders have a different optical path, and you will see a different image. For example, you'll get incorrect behaviour at large apertures.
Do the EF lenses retain the autofocus capability on cine cameras or do you even need it in cinematography?

The only drawback with longer flange is more complicated designs for wide angle lenses. That didn't stop Canon from making a rectilinear 15 mm EF lens.
I have the simplest and most basic todo list that I could make without using any external tools except for the ones that I already use: I send myself an email with the header 'TODO' and reply to it whenever something changes. It also serves as a record when stuff gets removed (the mail following the one where it was last present was when it was done), though that is rarely used. For repetitive items (tax filings, for instance) I change the 'due' date.

Simple, easy, very flexible.
Decorating the ship with dead fungi would be very pointless though. You could use most any other material for the same effect.
> The “hits” in VC are supposed to be “100x” returns to make up for dozens of failures, but of a16z’s listings only one (Solana) managed to at least double in BTC terms.

The return on Solana from bear market to bull market is far in excess of 100x.
I think the only good case is with KSI, but that's not actually a blockchain even if they use the name in marketing.

In their case, they limit themselves to verifiable timestamped witness. Someone can still submit bad data, but now you have a log that at time T entity E submitted document D, and if it turns out to be fraudulent you can't backdate or put a different one for it (could be also used to detect tampering with sensors if you receive something that shouldn't pass a sensor that worked correctly yet you obviously have it)
I completely agree (I'm the post author). I found a simple text file works well for me. I think what's most important is that I can get in the habit of using it every day. Most else is just window-dressing.
This is the first post in a series, and in this post, he's focusing on culture, literature, language and religion. I would agree that the case he makes is that in these areas the "change and continuity" party seem to mainly carry the day against the "decline and fall" party, but that doesn't mean that there won't be areas where that isn't true. I think we should particularly wait for parts 2 (institutions) and 3 (economics and demographics) before we settle too firmly into our opinions.

From the article:

> As will readily be apparent, that significance of that division of topics will be important because this is one of those questions where what you see depends very much on where you look, with scholars engaging with different topics often coming to wildly divergent conclusions about the impact and experience of the fall of Rome. And there is no way to really discuss that divergence (and my own view of it) without diving into the still active debate and presenting the different scholarly views in a sort of duel. I’ll be providing my own judgements, of course, but I intend here to ‘steelman’ each argument, presenting it in what I view as its strongest form; as will some become evident, I think there is some truth to both of the two major current scholarly streams of thought here.

Why not fly with a pre pulverized shield? There aren't many big forces on a long distance space hall and one could imagine using electrostatic forces to hold the pulverized shielding in place. No need to regrow the radiation shield then.
I agree with you. A degree is, by it's nature, a broad brush of the particular discipline your degree is in. An intelligent and analytical auto-didact can hyper specialise in a particular discipline and within that discipline can easily master it. New hires who are broad brushed are just showing they have the basic broad abilities of that discipline, and are hired as such and their new bosses then set about finding their true abilities. Grads with auto-didact ability do well(assuming they are also intelligent). The people who fail are those whom I call 'documented men' - not particularly smart or auto-didactic, but smart enough to work hard and apply themselves to various tasks - often they end up in administering the more creative people due to their degree and overview of the field.
Businesses need both types and usually have enough versatility to use them. There is usually a trial period where people are assessed by their bosses as to their future in their company. Often they will find good careers away from the cutting edge and have good lives.
Your problem will be in amassing a body of work that speaks to your abilities when you get your first/second/? job - one hopes you deal with people who can properly assess your potential in that business - not just an HR drone who might incorrectly assess you as an undocumented man and pass on you. The current online hiring vogue tends to eliminate people like you on documentary grounds - your task is to reach the people who know and understand your body of work properly and recommend a hire. Once hired your abilities will work for you.
As for now, amass a degree of documentation via various coursework in your area that you can probably fly through with various online courses(often free, but demonstrate a skill in the area).
One problem you will lack is the campus milieu where people make connections, keep them after graduation, and which often grant you the ability to bypass HR drones etc. and make a higher level connection who is aware of your abilities and you get a higher level interview where you will meet people, much like you, who will be able to assess you on your value.
That's what you get for investing in alt coins, their garbage.

How much, and how far apart?

There's a difference between "half a cup or so ever few months" and "I have to carry coolant around with me." The reserve tank will comfortably make up the first in any reasonable driving situation, the second is a problem.

Water pumps not weeping a tiny bit is a rather new innovation in cars. They typically use coolant to lubricate the seal, and some will get through.

First thought,

on the rare occasions we have car shopped, VW was removed from the list (along with e.g. Jeep) because of what appeared to be continually poor QA and reliability. Led us to give up on the idea of trying to go biodiesel (dodged a bullet there...).

But Tesla seems to have a really remarkable problem.

Strange conclusion to draw. Ivermectin is an antiparasitic, doses much higher than the maximum approved or safely achievable for use in humans would be required for an antiviral effect. Joe never provided any evidence for his claims, and the studies have been problematic to say the least. [1]

So he remains completely wrong, as usual. This single study from "Cureus" seems to correlate that treating your parasites with an antiparasitic could help you recover from COVID in one specific part of the world though.

Type theories are formal logic languages. People use formal logic for all sorts of things but mathematics has the longest history. This is where people first defined formal languages and assigned meaning (mathematical meaning.)

Starting from simply typed lambda calculus ("simple type theory", also "higher order logic"), one can make various extensions that make the logic language more expressive. The lambda cube is a way to systematically organize the space of type theories.

Interestingly, the theory has become very relevant for type systems of normal programming languages. Milner invented ML as "meta language" for helping with logic and theorem proving, but it was used widely and today everyone expects generics to work more or less as in System F polymorphic lambda calculus.
Interesting, yes, that is a good point if the camera is 'on' more than off between shots. The DSLrs that I'm familiar with all have whopping large batteries vs the mirrorless ones that come with puny little cells.
Ha! The “own CDN with custom protocol” is exactly what Google did with AMP. They even prevented sites that wouldn’t let Google hijack their sites from appearing atop the search results!
There are plenty of HNW individuals who want to buy or sell crytpo for cash no questions asked. Just last week a Swiss guy wanted to buy 1.5 million EUR of bitcoin from me for cash at a 10% premium. He'd supposedly have the cash delivered anywhere in Europe.

Too risky for me, but if you're a drug cartel, that's business as usual.
If a country like Germany merely wanted to reduce their dependency on Russia, they'd frack. They have like 2 trillion cubic meters of gas down there. They have elected not to use it.
I think the difference is what the function can "see."

e.g. if you have x and y in the environment as variables, and call your fexpr with (max x y) as the single argument called m: (myfexpr (max x y))

In haskell, m is not calculated (i.e. "max" is not run, nor x or y consulted) until "used". But the function doesn't "know" that it's max that's waiting to run, just that m is available if needed.

In a fexpr, you get something like a macro does, so you can see '(max x y) if you care to examine m, and you must call (eval m) to get the answer, but you could theoretically decide to do something else, like form a new expression if you walk m and make a decision based on the code itself (i.e. that it's a call to "max").
If you can’t create the checklist, you don’t know the deliverable.
My sarcasm detection is not great. Looks like a troll post. Maybe it is real? If it is real, 50% down would mean it lost half its value. 100% down it lost all its value. Even if it was up one billion gillion percent, if it lost 100% of it's value it would be worth zero. But, yes, Enron and Madoff and many brokers are not out to protect your investments
Thanks for the reminder. I thought the juxtaposition of those links with people like Leonardo da Vinci and Paul Graham would be enough to make the sarcasm clear. But alas.
It's a simple question.
Nobody "dogmatically hates the drug". It is an excellent treatment for parasites, cheap and well-tolerated as parasite treatments go.

Many have reason to hate people who advocate for dosing with anti-parasite drugs instead of getting vaccinated, because it makes people die. Many people have family who were not protected, and died, unnecessarily. I am not among those. But my brother rejected vaccination, and his wife and kids all got COVID. (He was away.)
So there are a number of people on this site who are not at that level and they get resentful that someone might get a deal like that rather than try to find a path to getting a deal like that for themselves. That's crab mentality and it helps no one.

The way to get there is to refuse to sign non-compete agreements unless they come with an equivalent clause to what I got. When you sell yourself short, you sell everyone else along with you.
People always like to mention the nordic countries but how many people have been there? I was an exchange student in sweden in high school. It was very far from ideal, although the country was gorgeous and the people were extraordinarily friendly and helpful.
"(...) and finally request a video of the issue.

Gillmore recorded the above video to send to her Tesla service advisor, who claims multiple technicians listened to the video, only to declare "the brakes sounded normal for a performance Model 3."

Watch the video. It's incomprehensible how could anyone who has some experience with cars say that such sound, while breaking, is normal. If I was Elon, I would seriously question whoever at Tesla had said so. And by that, I mean, literally just fire them, because, damn, how can one be so ignorant when it comes something so crucial to safety?
This study had people stop ivermectin when they tested positive.
This. Your boss is not your friend. You're playing poker and you have a strong hand -- good help is hard to find (and you're good, in my opinion, precisely because you're even wondering about this exact issue.)

Make your life work for you. You are worth it. You don't owe your boss or your company anything, least of all a personal excuse for an executive life decision like being more social.

If you decide to tell your boss it should be because you are comfortable and feel it's the best move FOR YOU. Do NOT tell your boss out of fear of losing your job or being judged. You can always get another/better position, and you are always replacable.

I can't stress this enough ... Put yourself first ... You will have many jobs but you only have one life.
Everyone has their own way to be effective and productive, my opinion follows.

TODO-lists are useful when using them for what they are good for:

1. mini-planning the upcoming work,

2. tracking what you've done (the ticked boxes), and

3. tracking what needs to be done to complete the main task (the unticked boxes).

Putting this information into the calendar? No, totally wrong place.
Using some app? Clumsy and annoying and easy to get distracted... but sure, if it works for you.

I'd say just use a text file with whatever format is OK for you. Or pen + paper.

I have TODO-lists with tasks with a time-span of a few weeks to many-a-day subtasks that I plan ahead of time so I know what to do next.

In my opinion, that's the important part: knowing what to do next.

If you don't know what to do next, you have to stop to figure this out. Hence the TODO-lists.

Besides, for me, this switching of mode from executing to planning/analyzing breaks the flow of the task I was doing. I have to go into another kind of mind-state. So I try to plan ahead and then just execute, it's easier and more fun to just keep the flow going for a longer time.

Usually my subtask planning for things I'm familiar with is more tactical and I just throw it in as I go (I'm used to this now), but for unfamiliar things I have to stop and analyze things up front. Of course situations change and then I just go back and modify the tasks and plans. But at some point, a clear path forward emerges. Then I take it.
One thing that's always irritated me about popular explanations of string theory, like Brian Greene's, is that they'll use phrases like "It turns out that..."

I think, "Wait a second! Nothing has 'turned out', because there are no experiments."

So now there will be. I applaud this effort. If something is untestable, then ignorant people who equate "faith in religion" with "faith in science" are right. Let's get some data that can only be explained by Theory X, and then see if Theory X predicts more things that also turn out to be true. If Theory X turns out to be one of the many variations of string theory, then you've got something there.

That's a file path. Maybe you just wanted to bait an argument by not explaining yourself.
OP here. I agree, and I hope your take-away from my post is that extremely successful people do use to-do lists. To quote myself, "People are different enough that there is no universal system." What works for you is what works for you, and you should use it unabashedly.
Ironically, Manhattan is one, if not the only, North American city that could handle the demand that would result from a ban on cars.

Maybe when the US bans new sale of ICE vehicles in 2050, we might see similar bans on cars in capable areas nationwide, and especially in one of the densest western cities on the planet.
They do screen for parasites in areas where parasites are a problem, principally the tropics. People who live there live with the parasites because they cannot afford treatment.
Fair point. I consider the Apple TV box to be more privacy preserving than SmartTVs.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s impressive that I can take a photo of my moving baby in dark situations and my iPhone will do image stacking to get an acceptable image - but it’s just that, acceptable. On a phone. Blow any of those up and they’re a smeary, noise-reduced mess.

I’d rather shoot at high ISO on one of my cameras and have some grain.
Seriously. That's insanely obviously metal on metal, which shouldn't be a sound you find in the brake system, especially under what's clearly mild low speed braking.

The next obvious question: If multiple people think that's "normal for a performance Model 3," how many others are being delivered without brake pads?
Better in the situations where you are lugging it around, forsight to change lenses etc. I was reminded of a photojournalist who took great shots with an early iPhone to North Korea https://www.npr.org/sections/pictureshow/2013/03/05/17349916... Fidelity doesn't matter that much.

>The mythos of the nuclear family being paramount is fully embedded in the culture, destroying the older concept of a broader family and community taking part in the rearing of the next generation and just general socialization.

It's not a "mythos", it's a fact that children raised in nuclear families have much better outcomes than those who are not [0]. Practically every sociological study confirms this.

Black children are the least likely to be raised in nuclear families in the US, and aligned with the study, are the most likely to suffer from health and mental/emotional/sociological issues.

It's recently become some weird leftist/neo-marxist talking point to subvert the "Western proscribed nuclear family". BLM had to remove this talking point from their website after it was widely criticized [1].

OP here. When I compare email to, for example, being an IC and using JIRA/Trello, there seems to be a natural analogy in that there's an inbox of items you have to respond to.

If you want to take a credit card, you need to open a bank account, sign up with a payment processor and integrate with them (stripe makes this easy, what if you can’t or don’t want to use stripe?), handle chargebacks, etc.

I read somewhere, the photos from phones are looking great when are viewed on phones. The moment you view them on a big screen, you immediately understand the picture is not that great as you thought. One could argue the great screens of phones nowadays and the vivid colors affect the perception of the image
The comment is about the financial industry. And it's right. What happens in the fruit industry isn't relevant. The financial industry is heavily regulated (many say for good reason), and much of crypto seems to be created to avoid this regulation, or to claim that the thing created isn't subject to regulation.

There was a good discussion a few months ago about the high attrition/ low retention rates of todo apps:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28010716

As usual, YMMV, but it’s certainly a prevalent enough phenomenon to indicate that todo lists aren’t enough for many people.
Productivity discussions sometimes baffle me. It feels like some people expect a TODO list (or other productivity tools) to put magical motivations into their heads. When it doesn't, they declare it not useful.

A TODO list is just a list. It mainly helps with two problems: 1) memory problem, 2) planning problem. It can also facilitate making measurements and analysis if that's your thing. But regardless of which app or pen and paper you use, it is not capable of making you want to work.

Perhaps in the distant future, we'll have that magic bullets which instill literal productivity into your skull, but in 2022, your motivation is on you.

Not sure where you got 60% from. I said 65% of people had the money, and 35% of people did not. Is that accurate? The number comes from my interpretation of this one study. I would put some confidence in the number being between 25-35%. Again, 60% is a made up number - so no, I don't agree with that number.
