* many people think it’s the best English novel of all time (worth seeing what they’re seeing)

* bragging rights

* personally, I found it like going to a different world. It’s equal parts emmersive, foreign, and familiar. There’s moments it’s a slog to get through and moments it’s a page-turner. In the same way The Beatles Get Back was so great because it actually felt like being in the studio, reading Ulysses isn’t like reading a story, it’s like being in a different world.

> The sad part is that we could actually solve some real problems by coordinating collective action on, say, starting a new city that's designed around non-motorized transit within the city limits. But we don't. We get Snoop Dogg crypto instead.

Is it perhaps possible that what's been solved is not collective action in a general sense, but transparently self-interested collective action for a narrow easy-engagement rapid-payoff set of problems?

Revamping city design, or setting up a new one, doesn't meet any of those criteria. It's not easy to engage with. It doesn't pay off quickly. It's not immediately obvious why a random person would want to jump on.

So, go ahead. Lament that the teeming masses have collectively made a decision that's not the one we would like them to. It is a modern tragedy. For my own part, I think there are lessons to be learned in why one decision was collectively made and acted on and not another.

What does "more than periodic" mean? But to answer your question: For example, to inform you that an update is available.
IAB Europe is the entity being fined, not their participating partners. The linked PDF says their fine is 250k euros, which is "proportionate to the infringment" and less than the maximum.
I guess it’s because of much lower use of off-the-shelf materials.

Partly that’s unavoidable. The hull has a unique shape, and that means you can’t just put standard kitchens, bathtubs, etc. in if you want your design to shout ‘luxury’.

For yachts in this category, I guess even the door handles, flooring, etc. are custom designed.

This ship also wil have huge carbon masts that are unique in the world.

That adds up. I guess Apple’s spaceship office similarly is quite a bit more expensive per m² than your regular office building.

If you would like an alternative that is still GUI, I personally switched from Postman to Insomnia (https://insomnia.rest/) in the last year and haven't looked back. It has been acquired recently, but it's still open source and very lean. Definitely recommend, you can even directly import your Postman collections if you used them.
I've played both but D2 launch was atrocious and killed the game for me, the removal of random rolls, the dual primaries, the weak abilities and the slow recharge, the 4V4 PVP.

Forsaken pulled it back into being a game I enjoyed but I stopped playing during DLC1 it was so bad.
I would argue Michael Burry actually sparked GME, that and new CEO and some massive short selling. Burry has much more of a following on twitter then the 400 from Roaring Kitty, and him buying was a trigger for my interest in it.

Now, he usually does proper analysis and did have reasons for stock to run up, it was fun to see his tweets about the mess of trying to track down the shares he bought - https://i.redd.it/utr5k9banpe81.jpg

When consent is enforced by a system that can't be bypassed via dark patterns such as Apple's App Tracking Transparency, the actual opt-in rate is around 4%, suggesting that when given a proper choice users don't actually want to give away their data.
Let me be super short

1 if you know Elon did not created Tesla then why would you use the word "created" and not be precise, even if you don't like the truth about Tesla creation you can avoid spreading falsehood and having people correcting you and the others you misinform

2 if you were wrong and thought Tesla was created by Elon, then who is at fault, Elon, Elon fanboys, the Illuminati

> Why doesn't Trump or any of the Kardashians achieve similar feats?
they probably don't care about cars and space, one dude in your list managed to accomplish a big thing, he got elected by a large number of people

There are people that accomplished big things and we don't know their names or faces because they are not media stars, think at people that saved lot of lives by inventing medical procedures, or the ones that promoted introduction of safety belts in cars, or the ones that proved some chemicals are dangerous and we stop using them.
\
In comparison Elon bought got his hands on an existing car company and used public money and a lot of PR to increase it's value. The timing is not a coincidence, only at this moment the batteries and climate change allinged to make it possible and remember there were electic cars before Elon appeared on the scene.

There is not much that would be lost if Youtube ceased to exist, either. People are wasting hours on this platform that could be spend better in many ways.
I get the feeling this article was written by very smart people with noble intentions coming from backgrounds quite similar to mine.

I found it tremendously unsatisfying.

This is surely an unfair simplification, but I think, at the heart, it expresses a desire for goodness. A world where people cared about each other and made decisions based on caring about others. (That may sound flippant, and would require more explanation on my part, but I have considered this closely.)

If that is part of the desire driving this project, I can sympathize with that. But I cannot feel much hope for the approach I am struggling to understand from this article.

My alternative suggestion, which again might sound flippant, even more ineffective, boring, or unoriginal, but is also considered and sincere, is to focus on the very small ways we can make tangible goodness for the people we encounter most closely in life. I think it was said better, though, as "love thy neighbor as thyself."

There's a little more to say about all that too, but it would be a good start.
>Can you give me a sales pitch on why I should read it?

Reading it is fun just for the sake of it, like dancing. You don't have to read the whole thing. Every paragraph is a delight. It's less about the story, and more about the language itself.
FWIW, I found a Tweet dating back to Jan 8 that was in reply to somebody who tweeted a Youtube livestreamed dogsledding race: https://twitter.com/Cami5320/status/1479893333480599555
Idea: gently boost it into a much higher orbit, leave it there and designate it as (one of) the first Space Heritage Site(s).
Why your Apple two-factor texts include strange tags

I am very sensitive to loud noises bright lights etc. I've always thought that my nervous system is basically too reactive - the gain is set too high.

I recently started taking gabapentin for an unrelated problem - what do you know? My problem with sensory overstimulation has disappeared.

Gabapentin modulates gaba, which is a little bit like the gain control in the brain. I won't be able to take the gabapentin forever, but it's so useful I will be looking for something herbal to help raise Gaba when I roll off gabapentin. CBD might be useful.
Priceloop.ai | Full-stack Scala software engineer | Mid-Senior | competitive compensation with ESOP | Berlin, Germany but we are also open to fully remote

At priceloop, we are working on a completely novel way of how businesses can run their pricing. Like really really novel. Not just another AI model for pricing. We strive to redefine this software category.

That's why we're looking for full-stack Scala software engineers to build our no-code pricing platform. The team is small but experienced. We also love open-source, in fact some of us are maintainers and contributors of some well-known projects such as outwatch, a functional and reactive web-frontend library for ScalaJS. Once we developed the core platform, we are also planing to open-source it. Our tech stack is Postgres, Docker, Kubernetes and we deploy on AWS.

From what I've seen, the cycle is a bit like this:

- launch the program you want to run and have it running in the background

- text editor open

- bits of code in editor loaded in the running program through text selection and sending them to the be loaded (the most common scenario is doing this in Emacs)

However my concern with this is... if you don't run the entire "code frozen" program at once, how can you guarantee the internal consistency of the program if over time you kind of haphazardly add bits of code to it? Maybe you loaded that function, maybe you didn't, did you add that dependency function in the correct order and at the correct "version" (where version is used loosely, every time you type in something, it's a new "version").

I'd really love for someone experienced with Lisp to describe their workflow and also maybe clarify how they handle this (in my opinion, huge) problem of possible program inconsistent states.
B2 is $5/TB/mo, so that's $60/year. I wrote this little program:

c = 500
i = 0
while c >= 60:
c -= 60
c *= 1.07
i += 1
print 'broke', i

At a conservative 7% interest, $500 invested would pay for 11 years of B2 service and you'd have $39 left over. For the last 10 years, the S&P 500 has returned 16.29%. Using that number instead, you could pay for B2 service and after 50 years, you'd have $136K in the bank. Or, rsync.net could have it in their bank.

Personally, I'd never do a lifetime anything. I've seen too many things go bust to believe in a lifetime guarantee of any kind. These things aren't guaranteed for your lifetime, they're guaranteed for the company's lifetime.
That's only your opinion. There are billions who disagree. At the end of the day no one is forcing you to use YouTube.
I never understood why a free-fall from space with a parachute would not work. (I bring this up because I would propose bringing down sections of ISS with extremely large parachutes.)

I get there is no air in space, and how thin it is as you approach the Earth's surface. But it is a gradient after all.

If a falling body begins to heat up, that suggests it has entered a region with some atmosphere — and so some parachute utility.

In my mind the effectiveness of the parachute would track the rise in atmospheric density — just as the rise in atmospheric density became a heat issue. In other words, the parachute would slowly become effective, enough so to keep the falling body from ever attaining a speed that generates too much heat (with regard to the density of the atmosphere it is traversing).

How is the model in my head wrong? Does the parachute effectiveness lag with regard to the rise of the "heat gradient"?
I suspect the US could raise capital gains tax fairly substantially before it made sense for Bezos to move himself, his assets, and his company out of the US.
I think it's for those crypto giveaway scams.
Bezo's can have his yacht - it means jobs for the thousands of people it takes to build, operate it, maintain it, supply it and even those write outrage articles about it.
Sorry I don’t have a crystal ball to see into a hypothetical future.

The Path to Renewable Fuel Just Got Easier
Just to be clear - I don't really follow this guy, and I definitely do not trust him. But just guessing, if he just give it away, it would be less effective, and who doesn't like a few hundred grand - few million extra each month?

Might as well make an additional million a month on a few thousand suckers, on top of the other couple million a month from pumping schemes.

If the startup is successful, it probably won't have made a difference which of the two cities it started in, because the product/service offered and the people behind it are going to be the deciding factors. Unless you're doing something like self-driving cars or helping the homeless, which city picked won't make much difference to the product/service. The city will make a difference on what employee candidates will be available, though a good startup in either city can attract talent from both locations. Housing is less of an issue the further you get from San Francisco. The contiguous communities stretching from San Francisco to San Jose (San Mateo, Redwood City, Mountain View, Cupertino, etc.) are essentially one giant tech valley. Also, counting on a source of students is a weak argument; I went to Stanford and believe me, when you come out of college you know WAY LESS than you think. You need a much longer checklist of all the important pros and cons before you decide between the two cities, but don't worry, even if you make the wrong initial choice it isn't too hard to relocate if you always keep in mind that you may have to move (and a good startup that grows fast WILL have to move).
Before people start making conspiracies theories, I want to mention a reasonable explanation that answers the following question: how could it be in Youtube’s financial interest to block views from small channels that go viral?

I think the answer must be related to an effort to reduce the amount of unauthorized copyrighted material or fraud on the platform. Currently the majority of such material/fraud on youtube is uploaded by small channels who can create another channel as necessary. Throttling small accounts is one possible way to combat this.
Yes, no problem at all, you're extremely unlucky. It just works.
I'll do it for cheaper by dousing the servers in gasoline and throwing a match. Nuking it from orbit is the only way to be sure as they say.

Then start moving my other stuff onto the rpi as well like pihole for example.

I wonder if RPI has a zigbee module or similar for automation. It doesn't seem like it? Anyone ever find anything like that?
I believe it when there's a replacement launched, it's been about to be decommissioned for the last 2 decades with the same idea that there will be a commercial station to replace it and it always gets pushed back because space is still too damn expensive for anyone other than a government to put people up there. Maybe NASA's hand will be forced by the slow degradation of the structure from heat cycling causing leaks and cracks we're starting to see, but I think that's more likely to wind up with a break in this continuous habitation streak than with a proper replacement.
The ISS is a microgravity lab, and allows experiments in i.e. growing crystals. That's far out of my area of expertise, but it wouldn't surprise me if it eventually yielded some application in microchips.
comments like this drive me stark raving mad. its just nonsense that somehow is taken, unexamined, into the psyche of a whole generation.

1) there is not a consensus as to what an optimal economy looks like for reasons so numerous its unimaginable someone would make such a claim, but include things like: globalism vs nationalism, hedonism vs utilitarianism, militarism vs pacifism, importance of a problem vs tractability of a problem, etc ad infinitum.

2) even if there was somehow a consensus on what an optimal economy is, its a floating target. economics is based on intangibles like demand and peoples feelings. if such a thing were to exist, it couldnt exist for long and would require constant change.

3) what an optimal economy could even theoretically be requires knowledge of the future. if earth becomes uninhabitable in 1 year due to meteor impact, the optimal economy certainly doesnt involve anything but meteor detection and defense. or from volcanic eruption. or solor flare/ejection. or nuclear war.

do you bemoan a suboptimal economy when people buy 50 sneakers? or candy and soda? or have 5 TVs? or 3 computers? what does wealth inequality have to do with anything? what are you even talking about?
Thanks, will switch over to this with my perl bindings (replacing the original perl core regex with vectorscan)
> People have figured out that one of the ways to get to overnight wealth is to solve the collective action problem and they're getting better and better at fostering it and at coming up with legal ways to avoid existing regulations against pump and dump schemes.

For what it's worth, Roaring Kitty's original video streams where he analyzes GameStop's stock should still be up on YouTube and probably cross-posted on other sites. He has hours and hours of commentary on the topic so if he said anything urging collective action or pumping the stock in an illegal way, somebody should be able to find it. As far as I remember, he was just doing a fundamental business analysis of GameStop and just pointed out that the stock was drastically underpriced given the upcoming new console cycle and his opinion that the actual business of selling physical games was not yet on the way out. Should commenting on a security that you like be illegal in a free society?

As far as your commentary about the increase of "pump and dump" schemes, I think the technology is more useful than you seem to recognize and that we're in the very early stages of blockchain tech and better uses for it will be found, but that's a separate issue I'd rather not go into here.

But as far as the pumps/dumps go, I think you're more closely looking at the symptom and not the cause. What's closer to the root cause of all of these financial schemes is the mental health crisis impacting young people. Many young people are feeling hopeless about the future for many, many reasons, and feel that financially making it through extreme risk taking is the only way to have a good life. Many are just dropping out of society. You can see this being impacted in some widely popularized stats like the number of young men not having sex, suicide rates, college attendance dropping, and many more things. What's going on with the mental health of the young is much more important to the future of humanity than the fixation society is currently stuck on.

Where did the Cybertruck go? Late 2021 to late 2022 to now early 2023...the sheer volume of $100 deposits totaled $20MM, just 3 days after announcement.

Also, now that Tesla has had approx 14 years since its first sale, has anyone performed economic analysis of personal impact on environment vs maintainability of the vehicle? A few of my personal friends who bought their Tesla around 2015-2016 recently got rid of their vehicle for pennies on the dollar becuase they didn't want to pay $23-28k for a new battery installed. How is this better than paying $3-4k/year on gas and having significantly less maintenance expense over lifespan of the vehicle?

Right now is honestly a great time to get into 3D stuff with blender and threejs etc. They've been brewing in adolescence for like a decade but it's all suddenly really mature and exciting right now (and mobile GPUs have caught up nicely). If anyone finds themselves asking "where the heck are the low hanging fruit anymore?" (like I did recently) the answer is in 3D content for the web and other places. It's a much more exciting space than ML (which I played with before that), where things are mostly just in the hopeful research zone at the moment.

We do not have good models of the rate Sun has been losing hydrogen especially on scale of billions of years. So from that we do not have a precise answer how heavier was Sun in past. But heavier Sun implies that Earth was closer compensating for the dimmer younger Sun.

As I understand according to the current estimates this not enough to avoid the cold Earth problem, but there are way too much uncertainty. But if we do not have way to read the brightness from geology alone, that can be an answer.
Yeah. Up front they say:
