This study is about same-sex friendship preferences, so the frequency of interaction with members of the opposite sex in these cultures is not the most relevant.

That being said, I agree with the person you are replying to. Differences in friendship preferences by men and women could be highly variable in different cultures, so one shouldn't read too much into a study that looks exclusively at US participants.
> Also, When Harry Met Sally was right. Men and women can't be friends. Eventually the sex gets in the way. Speaking for my self, men tend to confuse all closeness with romantic intimacy. I've never seen even explicitly sex buddies work either, sooner or later someone gets jealous or serious.

This has not been my experience as a 30 something male. I have female friends who are "good looking" in some societal sense but for whom there has been zero attraction for over a decade, so far as I can tell they feel similarly. Perhaps the reason this is my experience is that I find making male friends fairly easy, and my relationships with my male friends tend to be close and emotionally vulnerable (indeed, this seems to be why it is easy for me to make friends).
I live in a third world country on little island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, yet have had Google respond within minutes every time I've had an issue (multiple times over the past decade). They have provided support both by phone and chat. I pay them 2 figures a month.
Google is absolute trash now compared to what it was.

Most accurate search engine is now almost useless even for VERBATIM queries; queries that took milliseconds earlier (they even built a product around that, Google Instant), now take 2-3 seconds on average.

Best email service, now feels clunky and slow plus the spam algorithm not only stopped working, but is now working backwards.

Everything just worked and it was simple to grasp and to work with, now we have issues everywhere with their draconian 2FA among other "wise" decisions in the name of "security".

Government can do the other thing. It can "stop interfering" and refuse to protect those monopolists. Make it so that once they fail co conduct business in fair (however that defined) manner deny them rights to chase others in court.
Earlier today I was reading about the apparent creator of coins, in about 625BC, king Alyattes of Lydia. They were made of electrum (a gold & silver alloy), of which Wikipedia reports "The weight of either precious metal could not just be weighed so they contained an imprint that identified the issuer who guaranteed the value of its contents".

Those were simpler times, I guess. Our far greater sophistication means we no longer need to bite or weigh or see an imprint on coins to test their true worth.

I agree with the spirit of this. If you want serious long-form substance that is the product of months or years of careful effort, it's hard to beat a book. Usually the best long-form content I've found online (e.g. [1]) is itself just an excerpt.

I just want to chip in and say that 2. can be helped somewhat by having a second device (maybe old smartphone on wifi) that you export all authenticator keys to. Stick the old phone in a safe and make sure it's still working every so often (2x/year?)

This is relatively new - a few years ago Authenticator did not support this.

Oh, and make sure before you use the emergency device, time is synced - codes won't work otherwise.

We've actually worked on some standard definitions for software engineering job levels based off of leveling rubrics we've collected from across the industry. We wrote a little bit about the scope / responsibility designations at each level here: https://www.levels.fyi/blog/swe-level-framework.html
The performance story here is more complicated than you might think. ChaCha and AES (in the typical AES-CTR or AES-GCM modes) have a lot in common structurally. In both cases, different blocks can be computed in parallel. Software and hardware implementations can both take advantage of that parallelism to improve performance.

The story is different with SHA-2, which is entirely serial by design. There's no possibility of parallelism between different blocks of a single SHA-2 input. That means that there's little incentive to create a parallelized hardware implementation of SHA-2, and I'm not aware of any. In contrast, BLAKE3 is more like AES-CTR and ChaCha in that (given a long enough input) it can take full advantage of any degree of parallelism. For this reason, given reasonably modern SIMD support like AVX-2, BLAKE3 tends to be faster than hardware-accelerated SHA-256, even before multithreading gets into the picture.
Really nice design.

I like CLI and TUI, they can be both practical and aesthetically pleasing, in my opinion the "beauty" of tools is something that can improve the quality of life for the end-user.

But I have a few negative remarks.

- The glow.exe app on Windows is 19M, the launch is fast and I love that it is self contained and portable, but I think that even a pretty markdown viewer could be compiled to a much smaller binary, like easily 10x smaller without doing hardcore demoscene style binary compaction.

- I looked at the examples and source code of some simple widgets like the spinner or the progress bar, I am not fond of the API, too scattered and quite verbose, here again I think that the exact same thing could be written with 1/3 or half the lines without being more difficult to read.
We had a roll out of a (good) low code finance tool at work and frankly the uptake was breathtakingly underwhelming.

The average user is substantially less computer literate than most techies assume. The jump from navigating menus in excel to the logical flow of code just isn’t there, regardless of graphic or not.

I don’t mean that in a “users are stupid” sense but rather that the missing piece can’t really be filled in by low or no code. It’s the thinking pattern that’s missing entirely, not an issue with how that pattern is expressed.

Personally I don’t think it’ll change. If anything it is getting worse. Alexa and friends make people think there is some sort of magic that can be tapped into. Mirror opposite of how a programmer would reason through code flow.

Paypal phone support literally told me to close my Dutch account and open a new German account so that I can use paypal in Germany. If you can login to paypal from abroad, that is a bug according to them, you're not supposed to be able to login from abroad (like when on holiday) and need to make a new account instead. (I currently start a VPN into NL every time I need to use paypal; one more reason to avoid them.)

In their defense: at least paypal has phone support. Try that with a gmail account.

The graphic you linked
(https://drawdown.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/Drawdown_Graph...)
shows the potential reductions from following the "Drawdown Framework", not
actual emissions.

That graphic also doesn't list any numbers. The numbers you quote, 24% and 25%
come from a different graphic, titled "Emission Sources & Natural Sinks", found
in the main page of the Drawdown Framework website, here:

https://www.drawdown.org/sites/default/files/rainbow_forpres...

In that graphic, 24% is listed as the proportion of CO₂ emissions from "Food,
agriculture and land use" and 25% is from "Electricity production". The graphic
also lists 21% for "Industry", 14% for "Transportation", 6% for "Buildings", and
10% for "Other Energy-Related Emissions".

I think you took the figure for "Electricity production" to stand for the
emissions from burning fossil fuels for all power production, which is not
right. Industry, transportation, heating buildings etc all need power that is
generated by burning fossil fuels. So it's not 25% but 76% that goes to
generating power. The ourworldindata.org chart I linked lists pretty much the
same figure and breaks it down in the same categories, also.

The dradown.org graphic shows that 59% of the CO₂ released remains in the
atmosphere, which is roughly consistent with the amount attributed to power
production from burning fossil fuels. The rest of the CO₂ is bound in carbon
sinks in the environment. The arcs of the graph that end in the legend "Current
sinks" add up to 24 + 17 = 41%, which is plenty to cover our food production
needs (given the 24% figure listed in the same graphic for all food
production).

That's what I say above in my comment: climate change is caused by excess carbon
released into the environment by the burning of fossil fuels, not by farming.
The environment can handle farming, even at the industrial scales we practice it
today (which I agree is excessive and needs urgent reform). What the environment
can't cope with is burning fossil fuels that release in days carbon stored over
millions of years.

Given all of the above, do you still disagree with my initial comment? If so,
can you explain how you disagree?
But you're just assuming, or rather making up, the "fact" that any person saying that didn't accomplish anything and that this is a problem.

>Google thought the IP address was in Russia and I guess that makes it suspicious? (Feels a bit odd that entire countries are basically banned.

I'm not sure why you immediately jumped to the conclusion that google is blocking entire countries. It seems fairly reasonable to block signins from russia if the account was created and has a history of signing in from another far-away country (eg. US).

This is so true. Companies wouldn’t offer promotions if their competitors didn’t do it too. It’s a structured way to pay people more over time as they add more value to your business rather than having them leave for the competition.

Free markets have a well established, well understood "tendency towards monopoly." A truly free market is one dominated by cartels [0] (not to be thought of as something unique to the drug industry.) The market forces that spur innovation like competition, absent a government that intervenes, best resolves competition through either ceaseless merging or subsumption of the competition. The domination of markets by cartels is seen in countries whose governments have either been effectively captured by industry or are otherwise incapable of intervening in the affairs of the market. Prior to antitrust legislation, cartels dominated industries at the dawn of the capitalist economy.

Merging with competition allows both players to charge more without providing greater value, which is always the best option for both players.

> Is this data biased in the same way as the other countries that show a 90% effectiveness?

Well, Israeli MOH rules are basically that unvaccinated people must test at least twice a week to continue normal life, whereas vaccinated people need not test even while showing symptoms, even when being admitted to a hospital ; This had variation over time (e.g., since Jan 2021, approx 8 months only unvaccinated had to test on hospital admission, and 4 months everyone), but that's the gist.

Furthermore, upon exposure to a verified case, the vaccinated can do a home test, and self report that they are negative, and not quarantine - whereas the unvaccinated must quarantine, and test in an offical supervised test, twice in a 7-day period in order to finish quarantine after 7 days, or spend 14 days in quarantine if they do not want to test. (This was shortened to 5 days last week, and also had some variations over time, but same gist).

There are many other biases. It's kind of ridiculous.

I don't know exactly how other countries run these things, but I suspect it's similar in other places, though the details differ.

>> while at the same time airport data which is the only place with unbiased testing showed about 60%
> Link?

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3963606

It's biased by economical demographic traits, because the people who actually fly are not a representative sample; But since everyone who lands gets tested, there is no bias such as the ones I described above. (Well ... there is; a vaccinated person tests once on arrival and that's it; an unvaccinated person must test again in 10 days, and if positive in the 10-days after arrival is considered to have been postiive on arrival -- but compared to the above, this is a "small" bias).

> Only because they haven't done an RCT that could possibly pick that up,

Well, yes, but there isn't one. As I said, it cuts both ways - they haven't done a test that's powered enough to show vaccine ACM is worse than placebo ACM. Is that the only reason it doesn't exist? Maybe yes, maybe not. Cuts both ways.

From here[1]:

> Deere & Co. is the largest farm equipment corporation in the world, selling twice as much machinery as its two next-largest competitors combined. Deere controls 53 percent of the U.S. market for large tractors and 60 percent of the U.S. market for farm combines. These sub-sectoral monopolies help explain Deere’s 18 percent share of the overall farming equipment market, the largest of any corporation in a market where the four largest operators control 45 percent of all sales.

> Deere has also bought up dominant producers of heavy machinery in other sectors. It purchased the largest road construction equipment maker in the world for $5 billion in 2017, and the world’s largest timber harvesting machinery company for an undisclosed sum in 2000.

> Deere did not come by this control honestly. It bought market share, used public resources to capture private profit, and engineered elaborate financial shell games to hide its profits from U.S. tax authorities.

> Having negated meaningful competitive pressures, Deere does what monopolists everywhere do: It abuses its size advantage to bully competitors, customers, and workers, prioritizing shareholder interests over all others.

In the US, they have a monopoly in certain markets. Note that anti-trust regulators don't use the layman definition of monopoly, either. The definition they use is a company with significant and durable market power, such as having the ability to raise prices or exclude competition[2].

If we don't fill more planets, eventually we will die out. Whether via asteroid, plague, grey goo, etc. We're keeping all our eggs in one basket and our number of eggs is shrinking.

Planets like Mars are empty and waiting to be filled with life, as far as we can tell.

I see no good reason why we should give up as a species and die. If other species have a right to exist, so does ours. If nobody is currently living on Mars, why don't we?
