Okay at the risk of being offensive, all the comments before mine are made by overly intellectual fools.

I'm not usually so insulting--but as a father of two, if my 3 year old and 1.5 year old could only read one book, it would have to be "Oh, the places you'll go" by Dr. Suess.

Sorry to stomp on Das Kapital and its ilk, but if you get only one book, I can't imagine a better first message to convey than the endless possibilities inherent in each of us.

The world is your oyster! Even if you're old and have wasted most of what you were given. Especially today, in some of the most amazing times that have ever existed (even if you didn't draw the long straw). Today is SO much better than most of history.

Thats not what is happening here. Rogan is clearly pandering to an audience who already know what they want to hear. The people working hard to try to save lives by playing whack-a-mole with some millionaire with a megaphone will always use all the tools at their disposal to stop that flood of misinformation.

Rogan is yelling fire in a crowded theatre and cosplaying as a concern troll. He deserves the public scrutiny on his other work.

His defenders really need to stop the crocodile tears over Rogan. They also need to stop conflating free speech with dangerous misinformation that has already been debunked but is only kept alive by trolls like him.

Far from being an expert on the subject, but I read a paper that said that eating raw vegetables would usually increase the degree on inflammation, but cooked vegetables had the opposite effect.
Maybe it’s just the mood I’m in, but I found this list/notes style basically impossible to parse.

Why are any of these things true? Credentials alone are not going to get me to blindly accept any of this; maybe some reasoning would help, a few anecdotes, conversations with other experts (or at least quotes) so I can relate this content to other content and start to fit this info in with everything else I already know…

This reads like tacit knowledge, a series of immensely complex if/else statements, that don’t really come across well in text without immense effort, and that effort was not taken here.
It’s all about jurisdiction. If someone logs into an EU based server from the US, they are expected to abide by the laws of that EU country.
No I'm talking about how you have nothing to anchor your words to bring more weight than what anyone else might speculate about Spotify. If you think Spotify actually just cares about the COVID episodes, then it should be pretty easy to point that out from the episodes being removed.

If Spotify is worried about the COVID narrative then leaving the COVID episodes up does not reduce their exposure.
Sounds nice as long as things like the pension are actually funded. Not so great if you worked for years of lower pay only to find out that your pension is being cut because your employer didn't put aside as much money as they were supposed to.

If you are a 9-yr old developer, this makes a lot of sense. Most people in a professional situation are closer in skill level and this kind of disparity indicates a lack discipline when hiring. I see it all the time so it is not unusual.

It's a hard switch for good reason. I hate "soft" switches that supposedly disable microphones. Phooey on that.

BTW, on my hotrod I installed a hard switch to shut off the fuel pump, as well as an oil pressure switch that would shut it off. I have a g-switch to cut it off, too, but haven't gotten around to installing it.
> The second will teach you how to negotiate salaries, raises, and promotions among other things.

“Never split the difference” is a really good book, but I'm really confused by this context. The book is 90 percent 'how to encourage rational thinking in your counterparty.' The author's experience is in suicide prevention and hostage negotiation, where all you really want is the counterparty to do whats already in their best interest. Hence the focus on emotional IQ advice, like slowing down, mirroring, building trust, etc.

In contrast, salary negotiation is a completely different beast. The book has a single chapter on "classic" MBA negotiations, but the counterparty is far more well informed than you are, and engineered the entire process to favor them -- multiple candidates, salary bands, structured interviews.

Where this book shines in the business world is project management and resolving priority conflicts, where you need to build cross functional relationships built on trust.

My ethnicity is often called subhuman on the internet. I don't mind it because those that utter such statements are punished enough with being themselves that I don't feel it a necessity to even react to it. I also don't have to read it. I don't believe their position is popular in a way that it is in any way relevant.

It doesn't phase me as much as others speaking in my stead or far worse, alleging a indemonstrable hatred or bias towards other ethnicities. People I like very much have been accused of hating me because some didn't like their politics. That is way more offensive to me than the usual vulgar bloke that tries to get a reaction for his self-confidence.

Do you know how much modern masksets cost? More than a MILLION DOLLARS for a set, and completely ridiculous sums for anything <28nm.

So, if your market is <1M dies a year, you have to price your chip >$1 just to break even. And in the car chip market, even 1M dies is a giant amount.

Car market was all about decades old chips, made to stringent automotive specs, manufactured in tiny batches, and sold on long term contracts at sub-10 cent per packaged, tested, and binned die (and low bin chips were usually simply thrown away.)
This idea sounds like “tiny habits”, elaborated in the book by BJ Fogg? Have you read both? If so which would you recommend?
Also Jesus' execution and resurrection is the (I think) fourth iteration of the same story.

TED has always been bad as have most technical presentations in a similar style. A much better arrangement is a discussion (not a panel) of experts in the field. At the level of most TED talks, most in the audience are unable to adequately judge the content.

That's pretty much it. Intent matters. A lot. Unless there's evidence suggesting they deliberately broke the law, the fine is going to be rather low.

If they keep doing it, they can't say they intended to follow the law, and they'll be punished more severely.

IMO, Flutter for web only makes sense if you already have a mobile or desktop app done, and you are looking for a quick win: if your app is architected properly, adding web support for a mobile app project is really a matter of hours (or even minutes) which is amazing if you can live with the less-than-perfect UX.

Flutter on the web looks like Flash, everything feels very off, scrolling, keyboard support, text selection, etc everything just feels strange or doesn't work and it provides a poor end user experience.

Apart from the good mobile experience, I'm also excited about Flutter on desktop. It might not be "there" yet (I don't know, I am not using it in production), but it's promising and could be a good alternative to native desktop development and Electron.
Can only recommend this way.

I'm running paperless-ng on my Synology NAS and I love it. I've additionally bought myself a Brother DS-640 scanner to get good scans also on the go and it works like a charm for the last few months.

Also because it's running on my NAS, it's automatically reachable via Tailscale from all my devices and gets encrypted + uploaded to Backblaze B2 once a week via HyperBackup. Setting all of this up took less than one hour.

Re: Shinkansen debt and privatization. That's not true? Yes, in 1987 privatization, Shinkansen Property Corporation (a public corporation) held Shinkansen debt, but it also held Shinkansen infrastructure. It was not handed to JR (and hence private investors), JR leased it. In 1991, JR East, JR Central, and JR West decided to buy Shinkansen infrastructure from SPC, funded by 60-year loans. They acquired infrastructure together with debt, and in fact they are still repaying the debt to this day.

Yes, public assumed JNR debt and at the end it is now being paid by tax, estimated to be $240B, a staggering amount. But that debt is from unprofitable lines (they never could be profitable) sold by politicians to residents, not from money-printing Shinkansen. In a sense, it is right and proper that it is paid by tax.

So yes, clearly there is a carriculim, and someone has to set that, and there will be a flavor to that carriculim based on the social environment.

I don't have a problem with that, and I don't have a problem with teachers bringing their own personality to the classroom. I am not vegan, but if my kid has a vegan teacher that would be valuable in exposing them to that world-view.

I do object to political interference in education. When the govt decided what material is OK, and what is not, then you remove the variety of thought which exists in the world. And ultimately that leads to a lack of personal critical thinking which leads young (and older) adults to belive anything.

> Oftentimes this means that the person making the judgment hasn't thought deeply enough about the problem to be able to see all the complexities in the problem that justify all the complexities in the solution.

This is often the case, but even more often I think my annoyance with the overcomplexity of the code isn't that the code solves the problem in a too complex way, but that the code solves a much too complex problem.

Most of my job as a developer is fighting complexity. Doing it in code is an uphill battle. If you have to solve complex problems with non-complex code, you are fighting a losing battle. The struggle to keep complexity out of the code happens in the dialogue with stakeholders (Project managers, customers, team etc).

Now, there are of course cases where the conclusion after the complexity debate might have been that "yes, the requirement is for the program behavior to really be this complex, meaning the complexity of the code is required". But this is extremely rare. The reason I get annoyed when seeing complex code is because through the decades I have learned that almost invariably, someone took a complex requirement at face value and implemented a complex solution to the requirement.
And yet, surprisingly perhaps, it promotes the content of the 'salty' ex's ex rather than being whitewashed out, or being 'cancelled' that you might expect from true saltiness. Like TED therefore, its a clever trick to spice up the banal and offer it for consumption.

A typical pilot switches aircraft type multiple times in their career. It's all about the cost and convenience ultimately, allowing same pilots to fly both 737MAX and the older 737NG as most 737MAX customers operate both.

As far as MCAS goes, in my opinion Airbus got it right already in the 80's in their A320 with their flight envelope protection.
The counterfactual isn't "JNR collapses entirely without privatisation". Hell, it's not "JNR collapses after privatization due to existing debts". There are so many possible universes involved here.

It should be pointed out that privatization of JNR involved a lot of stuff! Regional breakups, the debt load, there's so much stuff going on there that assuming that privatization happened in an orthodox way is much more succumbing to propoganda than my statement.

The coupling of so many things to a single event titled "privatization" means it is extremely hard to untangle everything.

In any case I think "infrastructure-based train company suddenly doesn't have to pay its 65 billion dollar debts, and is able to function better after that" is not surprising, and I do not believe you need a bunch of bankers to figure out a business plan for that. There is an alternate universe where the debt is still taken on by the public, but JNR can continue to be a public good.

According to wikipedia Aurora Morales is a "radical jewish writer" ... in other words instead you'll just consume another subjective narrative by someone who has a stake in pushing it for their own ideological aims. Thanks but no thanks. I'd rather read the actual sources (eg Seutonius etc) and make up my mind also weighting the facts of who wrote it (winner/loser/hack like Jordanes) in. Everyone knows history is written by winners and not subjective. Not interested in another "storyteller" ...

You mean other than the fact many of these episodes have been aired and publicly available for 4+ years, and only after an acute event of COVID controversy were they removed ? [0] That 113 episodes were removed in the direct aftermath of the call to remove "disinformation" by Rogan and subsequent ultimatums issued by several other artists, but that was just a coincidence? Are we really going to play dumb that after 4 years of some of these episodes being public, that the acute controversy isn't at play here? It's hilarious on face. Obviously racism is one of the easiest character assassination cards to play, so that was played. It has the double bonus of not having to directly address the content of the COVID episodes.

I can't even fathom how you think that this removal wouldn't be a result of the acute controversy.

>If Spotify is worried about the COVID narrative then leaving the COVId episodes up does not reduce their exposure.

It makes it look like something is being done, and at least some tic-for-tat is happening with Rogan. Spotify is clearly being pressured here, they're just trying to maximize profit. If they can use racism as an excuse while simultaneously placating enough of their viewers who are acutely pissed off while not putting themselves in the bad position of having to take a stance on COVID (which could fracture their viewership), then they're going to pick the easy racist angle instead to make it look like they're doing something.

Note the racist angle was really instigated by people trying to hurt Rogan for his COVID stuff, Spotify is just working with the outrage they've been dealt. Spotify doesn't want to get crucified as 'racist' along with Rogan. This way they get to placate the mob while simultaneously not having to take a COVID stance on paper.

Managing mail servers is nowadays only possible for million dollars backed companies. It's clearly something we discovered while running Improvmx.com.

Of course it's possible (and quite easy) to set up your own mail server, there are tons of guides out there for that, but this is just the tip of the iceberg! Once you have it up and running, you'll find yourself in a constant battle between those who spam you, and those who consider you spammer, real or not.

Using blacklists to filter out the bad incoming email is one efficient tool, but you need to rely on good, reliable and *honest* blacklist systems. Sorbs and Spamhaus comes to mind, compared to uceprotect and backscaterer. The last two asks you money to delist you regardless of what you did, and this is typically bad player playing on top of bad players. They do a race to the bottom by offering a racketing service.

But the worst is still that popular mail server uses these! Microsoft uses UCEProtect to filter email! So, as a mail provider like OP's, you find yourself in a pickle where you need to decide if you want your email to be delivered to Microsoft's users - that means paying, or not.

That is why managing emails has become a million dollars necessity if you want them to be up and running properly. You need to be close to the big ones, have a seat at the big tables where the decisions occurs and hopefully have your IPs added to whitelists.

To plug one very useful link in all this, I'd share Hetrix! (https://Hetrixtools.com), they monitor your IPs and notify you when they are listed on almost all the existing blacklists, and automatically delist them whenever possible, or provides you all the info to do to delist them. As a mail provider, this is on of the most useful tool there is.

It seems like a TED talk might serve pretty well as a teaser for reading a book or scientific article about a subject? The problem isn't that teasers are bad, but that there's no next step, no recommended reading. The teaser is all you get and you're not expected to want more. This is anti-curious.

Often memes are kind of similar in that they're basically headlines without a link to an article.

I'm also European and do not notice a difference between being fired and let go. In both cases your contract is terminated by your employer. If it's about meaning, the meaning is the same. Since we likely do not live in English speaking countries (I don't at least), it's difficult to map these words to any concepts that might exist somewhere else and say one is better than the other. A more European thing would be to actually forbid the employer to signal in any way why your contract was terminated, so that it interferes with your future career.
