What's the point of having a culture if you can't boast that other cultures are inferior, right?

To offer a less sarcastic remark, let me point out that you seem to be claiming both that there would be "no common culture" and that "America ... will be the same as ... Canada", i.e. there will be a common culture, but it will be shared by everyone.

You could certainly make a strong argument that this monoculture would prevent cultural innovation, but I don't actually think there would be a monoculture, just as there are multiple evolving cultures present within countries today, and in fact a given person can feel an affinity to multiple cultures simultaneously.
From the looks of that recipe, those sound more like a rich dessert than a breakfast pancake to me!
Uber Eats sent my order to restaurants that were absolutely not open. After two times, and two refunds, they stopped refunding me because of a “pattern of suspicious behavior”. No way to escalate review to a human. None at all. So maybe be aware of your choice

Just wanted to second the traveling and staying at Airbnbs: if you just book a "room" with locals (as opposed to the full place), it's a great way to meet (usually) open minded people with a different culture that can completely reset your expectations of what life is or should be.
Make friendships with groups. I lucked into it, since I am not great at doing it myself. But I've seen people do it (other friends of mine in the group).

Every 3 months we rent a house and chill with each other in the weekend, give each other workshops, talk about life, drink amazing wines and cook our best dishes.

Doing this is different than being friends individually with them, which I also am. To me, it feels I am much more supported.

I share your sentiment with what type of people you want to meet. In my case, I've been lucky to have studied a business program (that I dropped out of) and meet my friends there, that still are my friends to this day. From there the friendship group grew. It means that I am the geekiest of the 5, and they tolerate that since I focus on being curious, adventurous, playful, creative, a little crazy and fanciful with them. I position myself a bit as a curious bon vivant that happens to have a geeky side. It's not that I don't have those traits, but I do emphasize them more than I otherwise would. And honestly, I like it. Pulling out the adventurous side in me is exactly what gives life a little fun, you know? I mean, from a rational point of view I find it utter nonsense because all I care about is truth and advancing it. Science is wonderful, it is an amazing tool to know that something is true, false or has some probability value to be true or false. But from an emotional point of view, adventure baby!

So if you have friends that are relatively tight with each other and you are as well. Make a conscious effort to become a group. Get an AirBnB, get an activity list and do a weekend getaway together.

What also helps me is my girlfriend. Her view on the world brightens my life, even when I feel utter shit because my career is going nowhere (as a programmer), or even when I feel lonely. She takes a lot of the loneliness away to be honest.

With that said, I feel a similar sentiment to some extent to what you say. In that sense, I am not the perfect rolemodel, not by a long shot. But the two things I wrote above (consciously formed friendship groups + consciously formed friendship culture, my girlfriend), they help me feel that life is worthwhile.

Bullsh*t. It's about people who just don't buy into the Covid bit and hate being inconvenienced. There's already a lot of restrictions in crossing borders, requiring a drivers license, requiring insurance, training, ... and controlling what can and can't be consumed on the job. So they're already under a whole lot of mandates that weren't oppressive last week. Hell, you can't eat peanuts in school anymore but that doesn't bother anybody.

And with the Confederate, US, Trump, ... paraphernalia in the progression, they're just the same as the folks down south who thought 1/6 was a tour group.

Forgot. There's a whole lot of vaccines that don't bother people, such as getting kids into school, traveling to certain parts of the world, working in certain fields, etc. And when they complain about the mRNA vaccines, they're not pointing out that the various alternatives (traditional and novel) aren't their choice - they just lump them all together and complain.

And for those interested in googling, check out the responses of politicians when the Truckers screw up transport vs. what happened when the First Nations did. And they had similar complaints.
I hope so too. I was thinking of printed circuit boards.
My local place has caller ID, which associates my number with my address and my previous orders, etc. They know my favorite order and yes, it's that easy. They do read out the ingredients for confirmation, and that's a good thing.

"WHY do these supposedly smart engineers make decisions I don’t get?"

There's a quote: engineers can do for $1 what any fool can do for $2
(https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1009994-an-engineer-can-do-...)

So an engineer that made a system that was 1/5000 the speed and thousands of times the cost of a $45 computer wouldn't be a smart engineer. They'd be history's shittiest engineer ever.

Web3 people aren't good engineers. At all.
Ah, I imagine there are, as I remember back in 2006 or so at college, people started studying impacts of chats and such, however, I'm not specifically familiar with any research on it. If you come across it, I'd love to hear of it! Or if you do research and want some ideas / wanna partner on something, I'm also open to that. I don't have professional research background yet have worked on emotions and communications for almost 10 years now, and studied intercultural communication in college after switching from electrical engineering, so I'm quite fascinated by the intersection of computer-mediated communication and how it impacts us emotionally.

Ah. My preferred pizza has four toppings and a slightly different sauce. I can (re)order it in 9 seconds over the phone. The website requires a login then clicking on "add last order to cart" then a checkout flow. So closer to 60 seconds.
I've been going insane since I couldn't find anybody talking about this (just tons and tons of SEO blogs) but yes.
Play the mobile game “Good Pizza, Great Pizza” and you will see it is the customer who makes things difficult. It’s a brilliant pizza ordering simulator.

That being said online order would fix the issue. Maybe they just meed the pizza configurator part as an app, and you call in and give them a code pointing to a preconfigured pizza.

This sounds like Dawkins conception of a meme: an idea small enough to replicate as a whole without error.
"you.com" finds a lot of things the Googopoly doesn't!! It's kinda limited, but it sometimes helps when neigher DDG nor bing does. Not shilling for them, but I tried it and it's not that bad! Lastt couple years, Googopoly scrambled Youtube search results.. The only one way for me to find these is you.com.
US polarized plugs have the neutral pin physically bigger than the line pin. They don't need the third prong to make it one-way, that's only needed for conductive-cased items to have a ground connection.

Is it possible that's a factor here?

I’ve found a lot of satisfaction in working in volunteer Service. Not the kind that we wear like a badge, but the kind where we make a huge difference, and no one notices that we did it.

Of course, there’s a lot more to my story, but that’s where it ended up, and it has made all the difference in the world.

Nothing good is ever easy, and the most interesting roads are full of twists and turns.

I sincerely wish you well.

You might not have been writing JavaScript. For objects, spacing properties from curly brackets is pretty much the norm, Prettier does that by default. For lists I see it rarer but I personally use it instinctively for consistency with objects, especially with things like useState destructuring and ([ complex, ...splatting, ...combinations ]) into function calls (which admittedly becomes uncomfortably terse).

Yup. OP, sounds like you could do well with (and afford) tele-therapy.
I have often been told im good at making friends and I think you can make them anytime, anywhere, anyhow, the first thing to focus on is your personal mindset and build from there:

1. Just say yes. When someone asks for anything, say yes, no matter how big or small (help them move out, look after their dog) This will put you into novel situations.
2. Show genuine interest in things. Ask why, learn more, dig deeper, keep conversations going by trying to share anything you think is slightly relevant.
3. Dress up. Wear things that stick out, even just a bit, a funky shirt, a nice bright pair of socks, use these to add flare to a standard dark blue and grey world, people will reflect back and be interested in you.
4. Pick one new thing you want to master (not online) my advice here for all round great friend activities - Rockclimbing, Pub Quizes, Boardgame nights, Cycling, Pottery. Each of these almost always need another person to make them work and that helps you grow your confidence.
5. Don't work so hard. Tell your boss you wanna slow it down, try and do 4 day weeks, give back some commitments, take a pay cut. Don't quit just slow it down and give your head some space.

I'm 35, I just quit my /Director of Product role at a successful startup because I wasn't happy.

Then, please-pretty-please do not put yourself in a position of spreading misinformation. Even if unintentionally. It's hard enough to fight the stigma even when armed with good information, when "critics" see unfounded claims like yours it confirms the bias against crypto even more.

> Happy to read any articles

No articles. Stay away from opinion pieces. Try to get actual documentation about the project. Ethhub has some good material about it (https://docs.ethhub.io/ethereum-roadmap/ethereum-2.0/eth-2.0...). Look at the "Layer-2 scaling" section to learn about roll-ups and the many other solutions.
I feel like google adsense or monetization in general was the downfall of all of that early web richness.

When the web was first created, everybody got on and just started learning html and making things... because humans are creative.

I did the same. I made fun websites with/for my friends. I loved geocities.

Then after a few years, I was only concerned with pumping out crap content and how many pageviews I was getting.

Ping is just example to illustrate that the problem is not technical in a way which makes it easy to understand. I'm talking about this issue for more than decade (at national level), so I nailed some patterns.

Yes, IPv4 packets and address range are too small to support IPv6, but IPv6 can encapsulate them with room to spare, so IPv6 network can address and handle IPv4 networks and hosts directly. However, this may enable two disconnected IPv4 networks to communicate via IPv6, if they are both announced at ipv6 network.

For example, my notebook is behind IPv4 NAT, but bots were able to scan and try to log into my SSH via IPv6 (miredo). Theoretically, when IPv6 will support both IPv6 and IPv4, I can expose my internal IPv4 network via IPv6, which may create security risk, same as for IPv6 native network without NAT.

This is the key problem: people don't want to expose internal networks to the public, so the feature was cut with hope that everyone will switch to IPv6 and this will no longer be a problem.

In 2004, I was lead of OPS team, so I spent some time trying to invent a way to switch our internal network to IPv6, when it will hit mainstream, and found that seamless transition is not possible at all: IPv6 requires switch, because backward compatibility is disabled, just because a corporation asked for that.
Apple, FB, Google, Amazon, and Netflix together represent about 8.3% of global stock market capitalization.

So obliterating them all in one day would not rise to the level of a "correction" (that's 10%) much less a "bear market" (that's 20%).

Probably no more than about the 9th largest one-day market drop, either.

Conversely, the market has gained well over 8% in a day over a dozen times in recorded history.
Of course there are other factors. You need to be building something people want and you need those people to find and pay you. I doubt anyone on HN would dispute that.

But other things being equal, a team of 10 excellent developers will annihilate a team of 50 or maybe even 100 mediocre ones in terms of sustained productivity and quality, so if you do have the market and the business strategy, why wouldn't you want the dev team as well?
I won't say this entirely solves the problem for researchers, but several posts here have pointed out that Duck Duck Go gives superior results in this case. I use DDG routinely, and only rarely do I need to go to Google for a search for some esoteric technical things (although I'm not certain Google actually does better).
> We're talking about them now.

Not as artists that have anything currently to say, though. We're talking about them as people who are trying to keep someone else from talking.
Because they didn't want the truckers filling up the hospitals. Same reason as New Zealand having the mandates, it wasn't about trying to reduce spread, it was about trying to reduce the number of people who would end up in hospital.

The vaccine vastly reduces rates where people end up having to be hospitalized, and hospitalization is expensive and bad.
Something I haven't seen people mention that may be a sign of the times is what Amazon is calling "returnship":

https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/workplace/amazons-returnshi...

"The 16-week paid program provides support and a clear path to return to work for those who have been unemployed for at least one year.
Whether planned or unplanned, life happens and sometimes it pauses career plans. When raising a family, caring for ailing loved ones, caring for themselves, or relocating to a new region or country, people can experience a pause in their careers. When these professionals are ready to pick up where they left off, many find the interviewing process difficult, and for those who do receive an offer for employment, the ramp back into their day-to-day can be even more challenging.

The COVID-19 pandemic further amplified the issue, especially for women. The U.S. has seen a net loss of 4.5 million jobs held by women since February 2020, with nearly 2 million women leaving the labor force altogether, according to a May 2021 report from the National Women's Law Center.

To address the increasing need to support those who have left the workforce, either because of the pandemic or other reasons, we are launching the Amazon Returnship program. The initiative offers a clear path to return to work for professionals who have been unemployed or underemployed for at least one year, helping them to restart their careers at Amazon.

Through this new program, we hire candidates for 16 weeks and provide a risk-free, supportive environment that eases the transition back to work. We offer coaching and mentoring that starts at the recruitment and interview process and continues every day of the program as participants work on a set project plan with clear goals. At the end of the Returnship, we extend offers for full-time roles to participants who excel and see a future at Amazon."
Some ideas that may or may not pan out:

- Get a pet.

- Volunteer for a non-profit organization.

- Go to church.

- Visit and talk frequently with family members.

- Join an online dating service.

- Talk with or visit your neighbors as frequently as feasible.

- Every time you go out shopping, make a point of engaging in light conversation with people who work where you shop.

- Take music lessons at a music store. Make a point of engaging in light conversation with anyone you see there.

- Take night courses at a college. Any subject. Make a point of engaging in light conversation with anyone in your classes. Suggest that you study together.

What you need are random collisions with other people. More random collisions means a higher probability of meeting someone you get along well with.
My experience with carbon fiber is mostly in cycling.

One of the drawbacks with carbon fiber is its tendency to fail catastrophically.

By that I don't mean that it tends to fail per se, but when it does it often doesn't do so gradually with warning like steel or aluminum (which warps, dents, and/or cracks visibly). So there's a certain fear about hidden cracks and failure points.

This gets exacerbated when talking about used items.

When talking about recycling or repairing carbon fiber, then, I think you'd have to convince people that it's just as stable as the original product, and that there aren't any hidden failure points. This obviously wouldn't apply to everything carbon fiber, but for things where it's often used, like in transportation, I think you'd have to have an inexpensive, foolproof, airtight way to verify integrity.
> Who on earth has ever ordered just a "large pizza for pickup"? Without specifying ingredients, type of crust, anything.

LOL. All the time.

Me: "Nope."
Them: "15 minutes."

In NY/NJ, pizza is a language unto itself.

To see how badly Google results have deteriorated, especially for politicized topics, search for "what countries are using ivermectin" with Google and then do it again with http://Yandex.com . All the Yandex results answer the question. All the Google results are either broken or are pages talking about why ivermectin should not be used.
Are people seeking alternative viewpoints or just dogpiling the same opinions with minor alterations? There's far more criticism of nfts on today's social media channels than the other, I find.

In any case, it's good to keep in mind that more experimentation will come with nfts and that it will continue to evolve into something different. Be open and don't write it off just yet.

There is a stronger federal option which the provinces don't want to trigger. And, given the notwithstanding clause uses and/or abuses, vaccination is a small thing compared to language, religion and gender discrimination. And to use the tired cliche, free speech doesn't mean you can yell fire in theatres.
I'm starting to question whether the whole FBI/Apple encryption dispute [0] was a farce from the very start?

An effort to get us all to assume that iphones were these impenetrable digital bastions of freedom?

"Well if they FBI can't even access a terrorists information, surely my questionable messages are safe!"

Turns out all they needed to do was send the phone a txt message?

Both of those are basically so delayed and holey that you can forget using it for anything but the most basic points. Just look at how bad some people are at math and that's something both essential and taught extensively for basically the whole time one is in the education system.

Aside from other recommendations here, think about volunteering in some hands on area like a street kitchen, or outreach to homeless people. Firstly because you will gain from the physical activity and a degree of unquestioned gratitude for small acts.

Secondly because contact either with or for people at the end of their rope in stronger sense of risk due to poverty will put your own concerns into focus. Not that you aren't unhappy, but that your unhappiness has relativity to other people's problems.

Thirdly because you'll be meeting interesting people of all kinds.

Fourthly because they need the help. So even if you don't secure the benefits I propose, at least they will, despite your unhappiness.

It's wrong to diagnose online, and I'm not an MD but your comments could suggest one of the anxiety-depression spectrum of problems which are treatable, and non drug regimes like CBT are surprisingly effective. Be the best kindest person you can be and you may find this alienation and dissatisfaction eases. Seek professional help.

Btw this kind of volunteer work is hard. Dirty. Confronting and may make you feel worse. Nothing is perfect.

I don't understand one point: how can you order a pizza without giving your address (which is apparently what the article is describing)?

Is this something specific to the USA? Perhaps in the US there is a way for the pizza shop to retrieve an address from a phone number?

Also, the pizza shop is probably using a landline phone, how are they going to know the caller's number? I know that some landline phones are supposed to show the caller's number on a display, but in my experience (Italy, Australia) that feature doesn't work half of the times. Do you folks in the US have a more reliable system?
