This is excellent advice, I couldn't agree more with Health. Everything else will pretty much fall into place once you take care of it. It will be easier to meet people, you will not have mood swings, or lack confidence. Your mind will be sharper and can think better!

One thing that gets missed often is spiritual health. I believe it's as equally important as physical and mental health. I'm not advocating for extremist religious dogma but at a minimum, I think one should figure out their belief structure one way or another. I recommend to give this matter some thought, research various religions, philosophy and history and make your own conclusions.

On the subject of social contacts, the biggest thing to realize is that our world is shaped by our minds. This means that how your perceive yourself and other people will have a huge impact on your ability to connect with others.

If you constantly see strangers as a threat, or as judgmental people, or "label" yourself as antisocial/timid/unattractive, etc then other people will unconsciously pick up on it. Humans have mirror neurons and can read micro expressions, we are social mammals after all. As a side note, women are _really_ good at this, don't be fooled! you can't _fake_ it! The only way is to actually feel good inside and clear your heart and mind..

Best of luck to OP!
Very good suggestion !

I would add Frederick Brooks' No Silver Bullet alongside this for better understanding.
In the US EUAs at the beginning, for me, it was 95% the technology and 5% the manufacturer convinced me mRNA vaccines were superior because of their precisely-targeted nature. It was a gamble between Pfizer and Moderna. Went with Moderna for the first 2 (before the data on "mix-and-match") and Pfizer booster.

Btw, sequencing of both mRNA vaccines:

Very well, in my experience. Apple has been doing what it calls "retina" display for a while now, whereby it keeps the display's actual resolution at a high native level but scales everything it renders so the screen is effectively a lower resolution... but really smooth because of it.

Here's an album with a pair of screenshots from my own 4k display: https://imgur.com/a/7AHZZZv -- the scaled one is how I normally use it.
Yeah, there is probably truth in that, too.

I did hear people complain about some new UI/UX, on how it makes it too easy for nontechnical people to use it.
History hasn't been kind to either of Jefferson's opinions in that sentence. The US did abolish the central bank for a while and nothing good happened as a result. Also, military coups are a problem in many countries, but not the US.
The problem is not humor on online forums being "low effort", it's "low SNR".

The problem is when everyone thinks that they have some unique insight and that their cynical one-liners are worthy to be written down. Put that together with the development of "in-groups", and you'd see most of the threads becoming sequences of re-hashed jokes. You get "ha-ha funny" posts, but you get no one really challenging anything related to the topic and you drown out those that might actually have something to add to the conversation.

Good comedy/satire works when it manages to bring new insight into a topic. If you have such talent and your comment can be insightful and humorous, I doubt you'd have trouble with the crowd.
> E-mail. It’s just plain e-mail.

came to the same realization. it dawned on me that we have done it before in the past with "contact me" and "guestbook" forms.

email providers could repurpose their service around this. it would be awesome to manage comments natively and easily from your inbox. plus you can take your email messages and contacts with you.

it is full of potential.
It's not comparable though. The simplified (though slightly wrong) way to think about Grin is that its privacy is like Monero but without Monero's ring signatures. Its transaction graph privacy is quite weak.

While the author of this article makes some mistakes, here's an example of that weakness: https://medium.com/dragonfly-research/breaking-mimblewimble-...

Grin developers said in response:

> The Grin team has consistently acknowledged that Grin’s privacy is far from perfect. While transaction linkability is a limitation that we’re looking to mitigate as part of our goal of ever-improving privacy, it does not ‘break’ Mimblewimble nor is it anywhere close to being so fundamental as to render it or Grin’s privacy features useless.

Hiding addresses and amounts is certainly better than Bitcoin, but the transaction graph privacy offered by Grin is significantly weaker than Monero. It's not the same.
Same here, but with hemisphere of clear plastic. I still put a cage over the sunflower seeds because otherwise the parakeets (yes they are now common in the UK) sit on it all day and would rather fight off other birds, including other parakeets, than eat.
I found Common Sense Skeptic's series more enjoyable. Thunderf00t's videos all seem to assume you haven't seen any of his other videos on the subject, and as a result end up being mostly repetitions of the same talking points. He'll even include whole segments from his other videos instead of literally repeating himself... It comes across as click-baity with a lot of filler content, to me.

Common Sense Skeptic has series covering all the same topics without all the repetition, and also has a series covering the current Musk/SolarCity bailout trial: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgKWj1pn3_7hRSFIypunYog/vid...

> I’ve never heard the walrus analogy before

It's not an analogy. It's common internet slang for someone who won't stop arguing even though it's clear that nobody wants to listen to them talk and nobody is taking them seriously.

Your reply is pure, unadulterated walrusing.

It comes from an episode of Wondermark. http://wondermark.com/1k62/

> I did do my own googling. Here is what I found

Nothing of value, filtered through the eyes of someone who has no understanding of the material.

> I realize it is difficult to infer tone in a comment but I would encourage you to assume good faith.

This is a core Walrus concept: the idea that anyone who's sick of their inability to read the room just thinks the walrus is acting in bad faith, and that if the walrus appeals harder, the ocean will start to flow in the other direction and they'll suddenly be wanted, liked, and respected.

Predictably, this never actually works, but the reason a walrus is a walrus is that they cannot accept that their constant yammering is inappropriate, so they continue to frame things as "they just don't understand me."

You are overly fake-polite "i'm genuinely curious" because you get this reaction constantly and consistently from multiple people, and won't accept that your own behavior is inappropriate, so you're stuck in a series of decreasingly sensible explanations to avoid the obvious one.

It's simple.

Nobody cares if you're genuinely curious. You're bad at Googling, you give up the second you find something you think means you're right, you stand on evidence you don't understand, you give bare links and expect people to read them (when you obviously did not) and respond at length to tell you why this isn't right when you never even said what in it you're responding to.

I didn't even open your link.

Nobody does.

It should be obvious to absolutely anybody that the person you're trying to force into a conversation *DOES NOT WANT TO TALK TO YOU*.

"Oh well maybe if I'm just polite enough and I google up something where I read the headline"

Stop it, dude. You aren't a casual doctor. You aren't a casual scientist.

Nobody should have to waste their time explaining to you why what random BS you found on Google doesn't say what you thought it did.

I did make the mistake of opening your first link. It had absolutely nothing to do with what you claimed.

I'm tired. Please learn to read the room. Nobody wants to sit here watching you sit in a search engine looking for softballs to throw across the room.

Just snip it up. And you can get special gloves for when you're handling.
Doesn’t matter if there are other ways if all the mainstream exchanges won’t take the coin. That’s exactly what being “tainted” means. Those coins are forever less desirable.

And no, I don’t see how you can compare gold being “traceable” through detective work, to a ledger that literally stores every transaction in history, publicly.

Mad respect for not mentioning Rust in the title.
It’s not that I’m not curious. I learn tons of stuff every day. But I recognize it for the ‘knowledge’ it is. Most of the things I learn now do not fundamentally change my understanding of reality. It’s all within the bounds of expectation.

I've a 2019 16" MBP that I use for work, and it handles it fine as well; probably due to the discrete GPU kicking in once an external monitor is connected. Likewise, my M1 air sees no issues.
The baseband/PMIC is such a huge threat and it is entirely in the hands of the carriers that desperately want user data. Coupled with very tightly held IP the problem seems to be insurmountable. When I see "removing the Google ecosystem" I have a hard time taking the rest of statement seriously.

No one knows the future for sure. But with current trend of dividing the world again, I would agree on your assumption.

"Any chance your friends are just conforming"

In another post you claimed "seems to be siding with the government because the intent of the protest has been declared wrong-think by the PM"

Do you really think this? Do you really just caricaturize people who think differently from you in some easy "but they don't really think that" bin? In another you declared it "boomers".

Most of Canada is strongly over mandates. I'm over mandates, and many public agencies have made clear that things are going back to normal. Omicron changed everything. But we don't identify with an *ignorant* group primarily funded by and cheered on by Americans. It is, at its essence, almost traitorous.

And again let me say that I lean conservative. BLM protests that get out of hand? SEND IN THE POLICE. Rail blockades that go on for days? SEND IN THE POLICE. If I were in Seattle, the whole CHAZ/CHOP thing would be completely unacceptable. Amazingly I am also fully and completely against some of the most profoundly ignorant people this country hosts, financed by foreigners, terrorizing a city 24/7 (and yes, while you have "seen on Twitter" that the honking stops at 10 -- 105db incessant honking -- it actually happens throughout the day, along with fireworks and loud music), and the only victims are the citizens of Ottawa and Canada.

Maybe everyone who thinks differently from you is just a boomer conforming and eagerly consuming what the PM declares "wrong-think". Or maybe your perspective of the world is completely broken.
Ironically, not necessarily.

If you sent funds to Coinbase's provided address and they wanted to refuse/refund it for some reason, your new owned output would likely be marked as clean and from Coinbase.

This may vary across circumstances of course. And they may decide to refuse to issue a refund.
For me those feelings are exacerbated by the housing situation, and inflation running hot.

In a high cost of living area, there are two tiers of human being:

1 Those who have purchased a home before the insanity, and have a stability around their housing location and costs.

2 Those who are renting.

A few scenarios. Let's take the 500K figure and the number 2. Number 2 can't quit their jobs to climb mountains and do yoga, because inflation is running hot at 7 percent and in a high cost of living area, that 500K will be depleted rapidly.

The Number 2 can't even take a PAUSE from their tech jobs, because hiring managers see gaps in CV's as red flags. Another red flag is simply being old. So Number 2 MUST continually jump from job to job.

The feeling of excitement about things comes to play in the question of whether one has a choice in the matter; you work in tech because it pays well and you can be house secure. If you can pause and come back, then you can explore yourself and career options. If you can't pause at all, then all you have are therapy or drugs to tolerate the hamster wheel of tech worker life.

500K is a lot on a global scale, it's in the top percentage of the world. But in the HCOL areas (SF, Seattle, NYC), 500K is, unfortunately, not 'enough' to be secure. You can be secure for a couple of years, but unless you put your belongings in storage and spend time in another country (another country that isn't Europe, also expensive), you will deplete your savings AND be an unemployed middle age (35 is too young for that, but 40 is not too young for this risk) person.

One can do all the yoga, clean living, therapy and child-rearing (all the suggestions below), but no one is addressing 'housing security'.

If you inhale it or put it in your vagina. Talcum might contain asbestos fibers, caution must be taken for it to be practically asbestos-free and women should be warned, but starch is not a damn replacement for it.
"Asbestos is also a naturally occurring silicate mineral, but with a different crystal structure. Both talc and asbestos are naturally occurring minerals that may be found in close proximity in the earth."

https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetic-ingredients/talc
Exactly this. Many others are confusing novelty with pursuing specific knowledge or activities.

If you can build a life around mastering Jiu-Jitsu or learning machining techniques, more power to you.
No. Raw mined talc is processed to remove asbestos when used to baby powder. It is exceptionally unlikely that a large company would be explicitly aware of that and not modify their process (although not completely unprecedented).
Reasonably priced, usable, open source, open hardware mobile phones and PCs.
You are not wrong, but the solution to this problem is by discouraging smug and cynical comments, not by just giving up and letting HN become reddit.
> * Kinesys Freestyle 2 keyboard (wired, I hate wireless things, I never want to think about batteries)

I very much second that choice in keyboard, I had the freestyle 2, and now I also have the new mechanical version of it. I have really long arms, seemingly and most keyboards, even ergonomic split ones mean I either have to push my elbows together, or angle my wrists weirdly, or sit really far away.

With the Kinesis Freestyle, I can just arrange the halves wherever it feels right for them to be. And I tend to move them around relative to each other over the day, which apparently is a good thing, since it causes me to hold my wrists and elbows differently across the day, just like a dynamic sitting or standing posture.

The worlds is big enough to keep finding new things! Not to mention all the new things that are constantly being invented! Recently I have been playing Flight Simulator in VR… just remembering how was to play Flight Simulator 95 back on the days to how it is now my mind is blown!

To find something new and amazing you have just to look for it!
They’re probably talking about the UK’s weirdly strong defamation laws. From what I understand, burden of proof for libel in English law is on the defendant, not the plaintiff. Once the claim of defamation is made, it’s on the defense to justify what they said.

This makes the UK court system a popular venue for rich people to try and suppress negative press.
Psychologists are quick to glorify weaknesses these days. A sigh is a breath signal for helplessness, it follows that mammals would instinctively look around after expressing an exhaustion of known options. I'm sure other kinds of breaths (gasp) probably alter nervous function too, it wouldn't fascinate me any more than the sigh/gasp YT video thumbnails do.

Every time I see a slumped alcoholic sipping on their liquid anguish I think the habit must have started with a single sigh, itself an idea planted by a bar of unattainable nostalgia music.
For anyone interested in this, I would also recommend checking out the [antimony project](https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony). It's a parametric modeling program, but you can also pretty easily produce new scripts for its visual nodes.
I think this type of model will have a massive impact on the software industry. 99% of programming tasks in the wild don't involve any kind of algorithmic design, but are more like making a CRUD pattern, writing SQL queries etc. This kind of work is easier to automate but more difficult to source the training data. If and when these models are applied to more mundane problems, I'd expect immediately better performance and utility.

We're also in the very very early days of code generation models. Even I can see some ways to improve AlphaCode:

- the generate->cluster->test process feels like a form of manual feature engineering. This meta layer should be learned as well, possibly with RL

- programming is inherently compositional. Ideally it should perform the generate->cluster->test step for each function and hierarchically build up the whole program, instead of in a single step as it does now

- source code is really meant for humans to read. The canonical form of software is more like the object code produced by the compiler. You can probably just produce this directly
It becomes very hard to discuss these things when we are mixing up what we think the law should be with what the law is.

What you are saying is a reasonable proposal, but it is not how it works now. And it is very unlikely to change in the close future.
> I don't think people like those in Tennessee who just banned Maus from their school libraries 'hail from cultural roots that made Ulysses subversive'.

This is great because it shows how sad this conversation has gotten. Let's put this in perspective:

Side One: "Our world is ending because we have the entire power apparatus of the U.S. State, social and business institutions weighing down on our speech, freedom to associate, freedom to send money, or communicate our thoughts openly without censorship."

Side Two: "Our world is ending because checks notes a school district in McMinn County Tennesse (pop 54K) decided to use a different book for a topic in its elementary school curriculum."

That such a mountain can be made out of this molehill, and broadcast uniformly across the whole country is proof of the cultural hegemony of Side Two. Side Two undoubtedly would not be making an issue out of not using Noah's Ark books in 5th grade biology, and this whole line of argumentation is disingenuous.

> the implicit assumption that if there is indeed a simulation then it is limited to human capability, which would almost certainly be wrong.

Yes, totally. But the danger then is that if we say "it is more complicated than we can understand", then the simulation hypothesis essentially becomes a faith-based argument, where 'simulation' essentially means 'god', and then all the bets are off.
To be clear, are you saying that it's okay to set people on fire who you think are corrupt?
Only a certain percent of people enjoy themselves on rollercoasters. Therefore, charging everyone for entry is a scam.

I think everybody already knows that you shouldn't trust anonymous, un-sourced information you read online, and I doubt simply reminding them of this would do much good. It's just really hard to constantly be vigilant. Even on this site, I've caught myself casually reading an article or comment and taking the claims at face-value, and then reading a response that actually does cite reputable sources showing it was complete bull-shit.
