I don't really get why it has to be 'demonetised' anyway, I suppose that's $Company's prerogative, but the 'here's someone else wearing the same top' tweet is a pretty weak argument - if you know that's the issue, then... yes, one person is wearing a top that covers their (yes, smaller) chest, and the other isn't?

I don't think that's 'punishing topography', that's punishing the choice of clothes to suit it (or not). If the person on the right were wearing something similarly revealing, so they only difference was 'less to reveal', sure.

Again, not commenting on whether that's 'right' or not. I just don't think that's a valid defence if she (thinks she) knows that's what the problem is. It's like wearing a children's long-sleeve shirt somewhere that requires covered arms, and saying 'What? You're just punishing my long arms!'.
Every time I set something up I later forget to actually use it when I get the info that should be saved.

One thing I'm able to successfully track are meetings and appointments in google calendar.

Work stuff is usually tracked on jira/github issues, and when I see the issue I usually remember all the context that was established when creating the issue - if it was internal, so I have no problems there.
I usually have lo-fi or classical instrumental music playing on my headphones. This helps me focus. Anything with words/lyrics makes it difficult to focus on the work i'm doing.
Yeah, I think the only way out of this is empathy.

You don't have to think both sides are morally or rationally the same to have empathy for both sides. The alternative is either mass slaughter or mass displacement, at the extremes. You can't eliminate your "enemy" without either murdering/displacing them or somehow coming to terms with them (ideally, being friends with them). MLK got this right, and he was able to say this without compromising in one iota his stances on social justice, class justice, etc.
A woman's boob is not equivalent to a man's penis. If anything, a vagina is is the equivalent to a penis, as both organs are used as part of sex. A boob is not normally used as part of sex. That being said, if we all agree that no genders can show their sexual organs then that's fine. That's at least an equally applied rule.

However the issue here is that some men, and some women too, find it bothers them to see boobs, but only female boobs. It's irrelevant if some woman happen to agree, because a woman can still oppress woman, just as a Chinese person can still be racist towards Chinese people.

If a women dressing sexy (but otherwise within the generally accepted constraints of not showing genitalia or nipples) and then gets raped by a person (man or woman), is it her fault or the person's fault? Is she asking for it by dressing sexy? Sexy here is in the eye of the rapist, and whether the women thinks she is dressing sexy herself is irrelevant, so I would argue that it is the rapist's fault. If a woman does something to her outward appearance such as enlarging her breasts or dressing "immodestly" and it causes weird feelings or urges in some people, those feelings are wholly the fault of the person feeling them.
There are a few vectors to it:

- Note-taking (only by hand, mind you!) helps with learning [1], and thus it's recommended by many specialists. Unfortunately, "note-taking" vs "keyboard typing" is quite often lost in context for those situations

- It adheres to kinesthetic memory. Some people need to have physical activity to remember better

- It might be a coping mechanism for ADHD - those can include doodles, colorful tags, etc.

- It scratches the "collector" itch for some (data hoarding is a thing)

- It allows for externalization mechanism (ever had this feeling that you won't be able to get back from somewhere after driving there with GPS? - similar thing but with notes)

But in the end, it's relatable since almost every person with internet access had to take notes at some point in their life, and - as you mentioned - that's dopamine, so a fun thing to check out to something that relates to almost everyone.

As for me, personally, I use the act of writing itself, as I never revisit the notes. A long time ago I caused quite a stir in my school when I went for concept maps instead of having full-text notes (which were required at the time).

I have ADHD too and for some reasons sometimes even an idea to write sth down is painful. But I still try and I think that's something that you can train yourself to do. But you really have to do that every day or even every hour.
Because it's a productivity fetish and a whole lot of wishful thinking that a new app can give you superpowers whereas a proper search functionality to find what you are looking for is sufficient in 90% of the cases. To reap its benefits, and for the remaining 10% of the cases, you need some simple but consistent conventions and discipline to document things that matters. It's no magic, but people love treating it as such. I always find everything I am looking for by searching in only three different places: (1) my mailbox [I never delete emails but archive], (2) my Dropbox [which OCRs my scans as well], and (3) my note-taking app Joplin[0].

In the middle of the ocean you're generally not going to be getting much work done due to the time required to look after the boat and yourself. Plus theere's the motion, needing lots of sleep as it's tiring and the need to interact with other people on the crew. Some people do manage it, but I'd not count on it.

Where Starlink will really shine is when you get somewhere. Sitting at anchor off a small uninhabited Carrribean or Bahamian island though, or even just to boost your chances of getting a zoom call to work when the wifi at the local marina is spotty, that's where it's going to be most useful.
Note that placing the period inside the quotation marks creates uncertainty about whether the quoted sentence terminated with a period or not. I understand that classic formal English demands it, but I enjoy the irony that adhering to ‘grammatical decency’ led to reintroducing the same uncertainty about whether that sentence-terminating quote is a fully-quoted sentence, or merely a phrase.
Are you implying that note-taking is an unhealthy obsession, or coping mechanism? Pretty much every famous and successful inventor, artist, writer, or leader, from Winston Churchill to Leonardo Da Vinci left behind a copious, almost obsessive amount of notes/diaries/sketches/lists.

Yesterday I was thinking this exact thing. Now I see this post. Creepy.

Anyway back to the topic, I think everyone wants to create the simples, sleekiest, cleanest note taking app which is easy to use and also very easy to develop.

On the other hand I find the stock Notes.app and TextEdit more than enough for all my needs.

>>Property itself is voluntary. If you don't consent to that property as a concept, there is no theft or trespass if you use the same land the farmer does to grow your own food. It's not robbery, the property is an illusion.

You could say the same thing about a person's right to their own body. If you don't consent to their body being theirs, there is no rape or violence when you touch them without their consent. Bodily autonomy is an illusion according to this malevolent, bad faith argument.

It's self-evident, from the perspective of any coherent moral framework, that people have a moral right to exclusive access to their own body, and the wealth they produce or acquire in voluntary trade, and that the people who disagree with this have no respect for others, or regard for the best interests of society at large.

Just think how absurd it would be in the Fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper, if the Grasshopper used your argument to demand the Ant forfeit the food he had painstakingly stored up for the winter, and the disastrous social consequences if this pathological moral framework were socially accepted.
I unfortunately am a rote learner. So it helps me to type things out to further remember. I also sometimes like being able to look stuff up/previous thoughts and then just the process of making an interface/storing info... something to do I guess. When I work I keep a daily log of what I do/what I'm thinking.

Also something about it helps me "relax" particularly with regard to finance tabulation/burn rate, like no I won't be homeless anytime soon.
The thing with Apple is, you can never tell whether this is genuinely done to protect people from breaking their workflows that rely on these features, or because they just really want that data.

And if this really is Apple just looking out for you, they could have added a small warning to the "disable" option about the sort of functionality you'd miss out on. It all comes back down to a lack of communication or trust.

A lot of people think that traditional note-taking can be improved (me included). As evidence, below is a short list of note-taking companies that YC has recently given money to.

Clover: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/clover

Athens: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/athens-research

Dendron: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/dendron

Heptabase: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/heptabase

My current favourite tool is the whiteboard feature of Diagrams.net (https://sketch.diagrams.net/). It is similar to the philosophy of Heptabase, which is centred around organizing notes and images with a whiteboard. But I like the openness and portability of Diagrams.net (Although I'm a big fan of the Heptabase team and product!).

I organize my notes in an outline/mind-map style similar to Amazing Marvin (https://amazingmarvin.com/) left to right connection is parent to child while top to down connection is older sibling to younger sibling.
Every once in a while an article pops up on the progress we’re making with fusion. It looks like we’re taking small steps but it continues to be elusive. In this particular achievement -
“ The team was able to extract a maximum yield of 170 kilojoules from the fusion reaction, which is equivalent to about nine 9-volt batteries.” I’m amazed they start small and will eventually scale to power mega cities.
Interesting. Genuine question: how does zk proofs mitigate against Sybil attacks especially in crypto space?

> Possibly unpopular view: social engineering is not hacking. It is conning.

“Conning" is just hacking systems consisting of one or more people.

> People have been doing it since the beginning of time and one can do it with very little technical skill.

People do other kinds of hacking with very little skill and a few focussed tricks (often borrowed form others), too. OTOH, deep knowledge of social systems allows doing original hacks of more complex social systems with greater theoretical safeguards (often, they are just as weak if you can identify the right point of attack, but that's where the knowledge comes in; just as with systems composed of things other than humans.)

> It's an insult to those who work hard for deep knowledge and technical ability, to call social engineering "hacking".

No, it's not.

> The legal system defines what is criminal, and that has nothing to do with morality.

That's not entirely wrong, but "criminal" is often used figuratively to refer to morally-abhorrent behavior. I took the liberty to employ the word this way to address the blind spots of our respective legal systems. I personally wouldn't call a weed smoker a criminal but would call a murderous cop a criminal: that France's legal system does not agree with me is unfortunate but irrelevant.

> Any other more socialist system was nothing else but much worse, and the social democracies of today have just the same issues

That's a debatable point of view, but my opinion is that what you refer to as "socialism" or "social democracy" is in fact just another brand of capitalism. For example, in anarchist circles, the USSR was widely criticized as "State capitalism" [0]. In this mental framework, laissez-faire capitalism (Randt/Hayek ideals) is yet another brand of capitalism, although it has yet to be proven that capitalism can exist without nation states to enforce it, while stateless communism has a varied history throughout the ages.

Because of memory bandwidth limitations. There are EIGHT memory channels in M1 Max. To pull off that amount of bandwidth you would need to do a lot of crazy engineering and get not that much in return, because this approach doesn't scale well beyond M1 Max performance. You can't just add more and more memory channels. Even if they slap two chips together and use memory controllers of both, total bandwidth still would be less than in one 3090. And it will, most likely, loose to 3090 in all tasks other than video encoding. And you wouldn't be able to put a lot of these chips together, too much overhead. But on the other hand you can put 4x3090 into one PC. At the end it is just cheaper to use dedicated GPU past certain level of performance, especially if you don't make your own hardware AND software.
I have never heard of you before (which I guess is just more evidence) but the way you make your point is absolutely brilliant. I will definitely be checking out your channel.

I hope you don’t get worn down by the bullshit, we need more people like you in the world.

If note taking is used to help with memory, it should be done under rules or supervision, in my opinion.

The usual way to track knowledge and tasks is within a project. You come to a road block, do research, overcome, and continue.

But many of those note taking posts talk about personal "wiki" projects and tracking _everything_. I suspect that with ADHD its hard to filter out the important things from background. And based on my observation wth these apps people start organizing and remembering this "background". When background noise is reduced the need for complex apps is no longer there - there are a lot fewer things left that are worth remembering. (exceptions apply, of course)
While it's a great solution to the particular issue, I don't think I'd personally get along well with a girl who hates blockchain.
Zim, the worst software I use daily. This was a weird realization.

Why worst? Anything you try, except for writing text, does not work the way you would expect and usually works in exactly the worst possible way. Good luck copy/pasting anything.

I really need to find a better note-taking that does not try to do a fancy "mind map".
Most of those stupid/illegal things are not that stupid in a world without cars, the environment for which we evolved. And it's true that young children don't have a choice, but their parent do it for them and assume responsability.

I'm actually not trying to argue against you, as indeed there is a gray area. My point is that on marginal situations we should not try to judge only on morality but also on creating incentives that best improve the system in the longrun.
Revelation is worth the sacrifice.

If you ever decided you want to go full digital, I highly recommend checking out the tablets from https://remarkable.com/. My wife has the same approach to handwritten notes and loves it!

Those with enough experience can anecdotally measure the success of brainstorming on projects where they've used it. I'd contribute the un-revolutionary idea that brainstorming works well for some teams trying to solve some problems. The trick is knowing when to use it, not to use it all the time, or rule it out entirely.

Man, you're sooooo well spoken! I'm loving your responses up and down this thread.
Yes, indeed. But that is a massive footgun to use, and it creates a direct incentive to have longer service durations.

It is likely that Google would stand to make more money by offering longer service duration for their OS, and by demanding phonemakers to maintain their firmware.

I guess the info we need to see whether this would be a good decision or not is how much money Google makes from selling apps to phones 3 year and older.
>>No, there's nothing voluntary about it. Why would anyone accept a coal mining job in the 19th century voluntary?

If someone offers something, and the other person accepts it because they perceive it as being better than any other option they have available to them, then it's voluntary. No court of law, consisting of a jury of your peers, would agree that a contract entered into by a worker, because the worker needed the income to eat, is not voluntary, and that's why you could never get your political project implemented through the judicial process.

>>So what?

So your argumewnt is bogus. I'm explaining that the fact that people are forced to do difficult things to survive does not make the situation authoritarian. Much more is required for the situation to be classified as authoritarian.

>>ndirectly forcing someone give up their freedom to work instead of other social structures is a political choice, to the benefit of the propertied, not some commandment by god or whatever.

This is a blatant lie: no one is forcing any one to give up their freedom to work. This is just a baseless victimhood narrative and false accusation against millions of innocent people.

>>It might? It's not up to the propertied class alone to decide what's a right and what's not.

Well if you're incredibly narcissistic, then you justify robbing people.
Whenever I feel like I don't have great enough ideas to become a software millionaire, I just think about the guy who made "Wunderlist" [1], sold it to Microsoft (Microsoft discontinued it) and is now making "Superlist"[2].

This happens because there's a lot of cultural bias towards being centrist, being perceived as the reasonable middle. People like that a lot, it feels good, so whenever such people try to describe political disputes it's tempting to try and describe both parties as the same when arguably they're not.

This Substack article is a good case in point. It makes it sound like there's two sides, both demanding censorship, and Substack standing in the reasonable middle. But in reality they're only describing one side. They say:

"In the online Thunderdome, it is imperative that you are not seen to engage with ideas from the wrong group; on the contrary, you are expected to marshall whatever power is at your disposal – be it cultural, political, or technological – to silence their arguments"

Are both sides here trying to silence the other?

No. One side is and we've seen that a lot, hence why this post exists and that's partly why Substack has taken off. But the most "extreme" view promoted by sceptical Substackers on vaccines is that mandates are immoral and people should be free to decide, for various reasons. They aren't arguing that people promoting vaccines should be forcibly censored. At least I've never seen any such arguments, not even in comments.

"It’s [always] the other side who shuts down criticism because they know they can’t win the argument."

Is it? Again, people flagging red alerts over problematic COVID policies or data aren't trying to shut down criticism of themselves, in fact they routinely highlight and engage with it by writing long responses to people who disagree with them (knowing full well they'll never get a response).

In reality, one side here speaks but never listens whilst simultaneously working hard to ensure nobody is allowed to disagree with them. And the other side does not.

So whilst I applaud Substack's take, their framing of it is curious and maybe doesn't bode well. They aren't sitting in the middle here because there is no middle. There's one group that wants to wipe the others out completely and will use any tactics available to do so, and then there's Substack that's sheltering those people from the storm.
