Empirically, egotism and narcissism really get in the way of the kind of mindset that's required for serious insight. It's not so much that meditation makes you less egotistic, it's more the case that you just can't afford to keep feeding those character traits if you're serious about wanting to attain even low-level stream entry, let alone any deeper form of enlightenment.

As an aside, enlightenment isn't even that much of a big deal intellectually so there isn't all that much to talk about. Almost all of the purely intellectual content that you'd grok in the process of doing insight meditation, you could find in a good book about, e.g. philosophical Stoicism. There's plenty more insight besides, but as far as we know it's tacit insight that's really hard to describe to outsiders unless for the purpose of actively engaging in the practice.

> Then someone comes along and tells them that they can control their destiny and reality with their mind and crystals or whatever

Magick is a real thing in this context, but if you're surprised about the "control their destiny and reality" part you're very much missing the point, and taking your perspective on it from silly folk stereotypes. The most successful magick is (1) not engaged in foolishly or for personal, egotistic gain, but rather in pursuit of goals that are going to deeply benefit others. Stated simply, you very much want to go with the collective flow, not against it. (2) not seeking "supernatural" or paranormal outcomes except perhaps at the tiniest, most imperceptible level that would literally be indistinguishable from pure noise. That's not to say that 'unexplainable' things might not sometimes happen, they'll just be rare and always surprising to everyone involved, most of all the supposed initiator; (3) seeking hidden outcomes as opposed to highly visible or evident ones. It's meant to be wholly complementary to the method and thought process of natural magick (i.e. science and tech) not in contrast with it!
It was meant purely as a joke. Even if I built the most elaborate notification system in the world - she basically runs the show. I did a doggy version of 23andme, she is 30% Siberian Husky and 6% Belgian Malinois so the line is blurred between sweet loving companion and psychotic girlfriend.
Maybe the known presence of censorship actually trains & increases citizens' ability to question information and search for the truth?

For example, many Chinese know about Tiananmen, and the burying of the high speed rail accident, even though those were heavily censored

Would be an interesting causal relationship.
I dunno, if you look at the incredible hoops the iMessage exploit had to go through in order to work, then there must be a point where the effort involved in finding new exploits would far outweigh the benefits ... assuming Apple is actively finding and closing current exploits and not introducing new software that just increases the attack surface area.

It is indeed unrealistically high, and I say this as a Canadian driving my Volt in a Canadian winter. I only see about 30% reduction even in -20C.

That said, the Volt will warm the system with the ICE if it gets below -10C. But I've heard similar numbers from pure-BEV owners.
Police, security and army are probably most of the demand for bulletproof vests, and the supply of used ones.
> which part of what they said do you disagree with exactly?

I'm disagreeing with:

> > "fabless semiconductor companies" are a significant part of the problem, too.

and

> > Until you can't ship any chips because all the fab owners are making their own chips and you have no leverage to get them to make yours.

because I don't believe the problem underlying the current chip shortage is due to the fabs voluntarily reducing their output in order to screw their customers, or that the fabs would give preferential treatment to in-house customers (which, as I mentioned, in the case of pure-play foundries like TSMC, certainly isn't the case).

> On the other hand, consolidation on foundry as a service makes the system more brittle.

That's true, but OTOH, the alternative to the current fabless + market foundry model isn't a world with tens or even hundreds of vertically integrated manufactures with their own leading edge fabs (that is, some kind of rollback to the 1980'ies), but rather a world where all leading edge chip development would be concentrated in a few megacorporations, with IMHO drastic effects on the rate of innovation across the entire industry, and susceptible to similar shocks like we see today if one of them would hit serious problems.

While I don't see a way out on the dependence on very few suppliers of leading edge fab capacity and all the problems that entails, I guess for slightly larger process nodes (say, in the 20-40nm range) where the capital costs aren't as big, there could be plenty of space for a healthy competitive landscape. Perhaps partially funded by governments (or things like the EU) that want their own chip manufacturing capability for "digital sovereignty" and national security/arms manufacturing reasons.
Also, can you at least attempt to mathematically explain a QM+“god” argument?
>because cycle times are usually just estimates

Why is that? what diagnostics are it running to tell if it needs to run longer?

I thought they ran by timers, in which case cycle times are...cycle times.
Nonsense. Government and related policy and procedure has a wide range of successful outcomes in non-crisis situations. If the circumstances provide clarity of focus toward a desirable outcome and the gamble is won, and that's obvious to everyone generally, that doesn't mean anything per-se about government, policy or the mix. Including the general populace, hesitations and presumptions included.

Very likely. Though more likely is the owner of a Tesla is more apt to the nuances of charging and planning ahead.
Yes, a progressive tax over all your possession is a much better solution than just raising prices. People with high income don't really care about high prices and have enough opportunity to delegate these costs to others.
haha, yes.

No software is perfect when shipped. Most dishwashers have had updatable firmware for at least a decade, it just normally required a technician connecting to it with a cable.
Are you familiar with the concept of deep work? Sometimes you need a solid block of completely uninterrupted time to keep your cache/working memory hot so that you can see the whole task through. My wife used to interrupt me all the time - even in the middle of a wim hof breath hold. I'm looking at her like, this is the 10,000th time I have done this, and we do it together sometimes, why do you think I can respond to you in this moment?
Well, yes, it's the eternal cycle...

Funny that you would take the example of oil companies : it was the small tight oil startups that did the latest round of innovation (in hydraulic fracturing, though it was a "take already existing innovations and integrate them" kind of innovation) and captured that market (even though they never became profitable as an industry), and some of the "7 sisters" themselves come from the antimonopoly forcible splitting of Standard Oil into 34 companies... (when the forced splitting of the GAFAMs ?)

Is the completion of a dishwashing cycle a time-critical event in your home? Here, it can easily be a few hours between washing the dishes and unloading the washer (e.g. run the washer overnight, unload it the next morning).
For headphones to work there has to be a communication platform. I reckon it wouldn't be too hard to pick up a computer yourself, join his channel and talk to him. Wildly depends on your sons age though, I guess I wouldn't have been too keen on my mum having access to my teamspeak when I was 15.
Any even semi-serious practitioner of meditation will know that most people won't see results in 4 weeks. This is impatience.

And if you approach meditation as a way to "get" something, this approach will not yield good results either. This is goal-driven "greed" (as referred to in the Buddhist tradition).

In order for meditation to "work", you have to come at it with a sense of goodwill, patience, openness, etc. and let the practice do you, not the other way around.
Indeed, Alexa make an announcement: dinner is ready!
At that point, the driver really is to blame though. Manufacturer's job is to make things affordably; not to save himanity from themselves despite the ongoing insistance by governments that somehow the industrial sector should take on the onus for technically enforcing whatever measures that some bureaucrat sets their sights on today.

This mentality that the car should make up for fundamental defects in safe driving is horrifying.

You only consider it "personal activism" because it was politically transgressive at the time. And unjustifiably so. If it hadn't been it would've obviously just been an easter egg. And now that we are all on the right side of history (thanks to people like him), we can recognize it as such.

Are there penalties for staying on the charger longer than required? My concern with a half hour required time to charge is that people will go to "get a quick bite" and leave their car at the station. The 5 minute run in to pee at the gas station could become a half hour "the restaurant was busy" addition.

Ok. Replace weak with "shifty" and "unclear". In any case a public communication that doesn't reassure will quickly be replaced by one that does, by escalating the issue to the nearest political figure who takes on the job of providing such assurance.

"It can improve forever". Or as long as Tesla cares.

Tesla owner attitude to a safety feature: "it doesn't matter that yours works great out of the box, and this one doesn't work, is one of the most complained about features and has been for years, what _really_ matters is that it _can_ be improved!"

If another manufacturers rain sensor was so faulty (because that's what it is) as Tesla's, it'd be repaired and replaced and no expense to the customer either. What's more is that it's a simpler system, that has worked reliably for 20+ years, and is a "solved problem", unless Tesla thinks there's some new rain situation that we're yet to encounter. Inventing a needlessly complex system that fails to do what a simpler, cheaper system does reliably and saying "oh well, you just don't get it, it can at least get better!" is cognitive dissonance.
Was anybody else completely turned off by the pop-up that screams "Keep Reading..."? Ugh. I quit after that.

Also, please don't confuse conscientiousness with bed-side manner. They are plenty of people have excellent "bed-side manner" (all industries), but are not conscientiousness. Think of a school librarian who is loved by the children, but cannot manage the day-to-day work of library operations. The two may be correlated, but certainly not 100% as this author implies.

To me, testing a software developer for conscientiousness, I could think of two different, but equally valuable ways:

(1) A ridiculously complex set of _written_ requirements to code a function. Literally, show the man page for class C-function "atoi()", then ask them to re-impl in any language. There are /so/ many corner cases. Oh yeah, then testing too. There are harder versions of this function, like "strtol()". Another good one: Ask someone to write a function that can add/subject date periods using multiple holiday calendars. Almost none of them will program it where weekends may be days other than Sat/Sun (looking at you Middle East zone). Example: Subtract six business days using these holiday calendars and these weekend days.

(2) This part is behavioural. Think of an absolutely ridiculous "obstacle course" that you _personally_ needed to complete in the last three months to get something trivial done. Use this as your template. Now create a "Choose Your Own Adventure" style story in your mind. Prompt the candidate with an issue, such as add 10GB of disk space to a network attached storage mount or open/whitelist a port on a firewall. Imagine how many things can go wrong. Every step of the way, challenge with new and absurd obstacles. Check how persistent they are to try different paths. Example: "I cannot log into the website to make the request. Help desk says it takes 3 days to get that access." Better candidates will quickly pivot to ask their teammates -- "Can you help me log into this website?" Etc.

Yes, it is impossible to get perfect on both tests, unless you are a robot or Singularity AI. I've met a few incredibly strong co-workers in one of those categories. If they were even average in the other category, they were a top 5% worker -- easily.

Doesn't mean he's completely tied to it. He may be only focused on his hobby. That can happen with anything. Woodworking, drawing, reading, whatever. Being on constant alert isn't healthy. Everyone needs some time for themselves to power down a bit.
Ah. Remote work is allowing workers to look at what they’re doing without the distraction or support of “the office”. I can see how middle-layer managers resent the loss of control/activity, but the workers do work and the team leaders can lead virtually.

On-boarding can be a problem, but this is balanced by a far wider hiring reach. Sites without unique tools will probably notice this less. It won’t work for a team of extroverts but I suspect the target audience of this site and discussion are more introverted. Focus vs. Flashes of inspiration and all that.

Yeah, some people have their whole social construct based on work, but it really isn’t healthy carrying the college lifestyle forever. Responsibility comes eventually.

Some dish washers have water sensors that vary the cycle times depending on how dirty they observe the return water. This why they warn you not to pre-rinse your dishes because you'll fool the system into a lighter washing which won't properly clean your dishes.
No software is perfect when shipped

Why not? Or rather, why do we accept this as the norm? A dishwasher isn't that complex, it should be possible to prove the firmware error-free.
Sure, but seemingly this is not what Qubit believes, if they are setting up a site to download docs to allow you to (in theory) file to Police.

But - allow me - if my (crypto) money (or whatever) cannot be obtained/transferred/drawn (because Qubit won't allow me to) it is actually "a" problem, and definitely "my" problem.

It is the whole idea that Qubit is not directly responsible that is absurd (as I see it).

Take a POS system. If at first you have a screen, keyboard and bar code scanner, you might think, "okay, what if we can't get this bar code scanner anymore?" so you modularize your HAL in a way that makes swapping out the bar code scanner easy.

However, if you decide that sales should walk around with tablets to enter transactions into and those go to the cloud for processing, well you just have to rewrite the whole thing.

The point is, you look for the things that could change right now. But you know that if too much changes, you have to redesign it. It is not about predicting the future. It is not about writing software that can absorb any change.
Not arguing one way or another, but what is the evidence?
It depends on your definitions and which mathematical objects you are working with. The notions in the blog post are not something the author invented themselves.

Samsung phones on Android 12 have a toggle for "charge to 85%" now. Not as "smart", but a great way to extend battery life if that's your focus. That last 15-20% charge is apparently a killer.
At this point in the game hiring based on LC isn't optimizing for hiring people who can code (I think that may have been the case 3-4 years ago), so we don't use it for anyone. Now it's just optimizing for people who have A) heard of LC (who cares); B) have a basic understanding of DSA (good); C) have taken the necessary 0.5-3 months to memorize the handful of patterns that show up (who cares). I can understand why companies like FAANG that get thousands of resumes use it as a filter, though.

But I will say in my experience a PhD is a red flag for a developer, especially if you're highlighting your academic experience on your resume. It's just that the skills that make you successful in getting a PhD don't necessarily translate to day-to-day software development and in some cases will hinder you/the team.
On the other hand, "Euclid's proof is not not by contradiction" is a (probably unintentional) meta-restatement of the constructive vs. classical approaches.

We have one it’s great.

The ability to start it, and confirm it’s started is a game changer. Especially because it’s preloaded with the chemicals.

We don’t want to start it until we’re sure all the floating dishes actually got loaded. There’s a stray dish, a glass, life’s just a little chaotic getting dinner cleaned up and everyone to bed. We forget or we hit start but someone else opens it to add something. Without the act of adding soap and with two or three people adding things it’s surprisingly easy.

A lot of these are features as a single guy I found stupid. Now married with a kid they are just little enablers of greater calm.

I bought some INTC calls last week. They are reinvesting their substantial revenues into construction of new facilities, reflecting the view that semis demand will be elevated for some time to come. I think the semiconductor sector could see a dispersion of valuations as businesses make different predictions about how best to skate to where the puck will be. So far Intel seems to have interpreted the shortages correctly, whereas some other firms saw the shortages through rose-colored glasses.
Modern-ish ones usually have a dirty-water-sensor; I believe it works by shining light through the water on the way out of the machine to see (roughly) how dirty it is. Clean water = cycle over, dirty water = keep going!

I don't understand the usefulness of notifications on my phone for a dishwasher. Either I am near my dishwasher and hear its acoustic signal that it has finished. Then I can decide to open it or empty it now or later. Or I am not near the dishwasher than I can't do anything about it. Then it is a completely unactionable information, i.e. noise.

Actually, I have a Bosch/Siemens dishwasher with Wifi because it is very good dishwasher, but I've never connected it to my Wifi, because I don't want to think about advanced persistent threads infilitrating my dishwasher.
Mine dumb model beeps when its done its cycle. It's a good notification for me. If I run it overnight, I don't really care at which hour it finished. Am I missing something else?
> A lockdown is people not coming into contact with other people in a way that spreads the virus. It's not people still often coming into contact with other people in a way that spreads the virus but not as often as before.

That might be a definition issue. Here in Germany, we had several lockdowns. Many (most?) countries would say we had no lockdown at all.
