Yeah, I was on the track to do what you did, and then I got multiple sclerosis during my last semester of graduate school. Disability is a major player in my own personal negative patterns: My MS came out of nowhere, I can't make good choices to make it go away, and I can't just ignore it. I also was fucked over when I tried to plan for things like student loans: Over half my undergrad debt is from my last year because my dad lost all the money he was using to help me in 08.

My personal experiences, outliers though they are, tell me that change is likely to screw me over. I would love to save my paychecks but when your meds cost 300k+ a year for your entire life, your life is dictated by health insurance and care. I lived like a college student and saved and was STILL fucked by change, so I'm very change and risk averse.

I'm American, so US law is what I have some familiarity with. I would assume many countries have similar laws.
I am familiar with those studies. Still I would like to see the footage of actual elite runners heel striking. I watched quite a lot of it and haven't seen one. My suspicion is that those elite heel strikers are just midfoot strikers in shoes with pronounced heel.

As to your studies: the first one doesn't include elite runners so isn't very relevant.
The other one looks like meta analysis of other older studies. I am not arguing that heel strike is definitely wrong btw I am just yet to see an elite runner using it. My intuition is that it's mainly about striking the ground when your foot/leg already moves back. It just doesn't feel natural to do it heel first at least not to me.

I am not sure why you think sprinting is about forcefully driving your foot into the ground btw. It's the opposite. It's about lightly "brushing" the ground to "push" it horizontally behind you. See for example this footage:
https://youtu.be/RD_TtokBUKc

The heel doesn't even hit the ground. It's the same when you look at the elite 10k or marathon runners although there heel usually lands on the ground for a while, especially in marathon:
https://youtu.be/V4L113lP_54

With those new Nike shoes it almost look like heel strike because of the heel to toe drop in the shoe.
Or (somewhat ironically) a bank safe deposit box.
I am also worried by this. I have paid one subscription, nest aware/protect/camera/doorbell, youtube premium, pixel phones, assistants, have taken advantage of their photo backup that came with phones.. The prejudice of them closing my account would be in the 3,000$+ range just in now useless hardware. That is not counting the logistical nightmare. I firmly believe we need governmental protection.

Yes, and, those exact kinds of cognitive differences are exactly the kind that this profession is known for.

Coinbase had an ad during superbowl (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zLsUhOCqyU) which was just a QR-code moving around on the screen.

Afterwards Twitter was full of security people complaining this teaches people to scan random QR-codes, and that this apparently moved security awareness back several years.

I thought that by now "everyone" had seen this part of the discussion, but it seems like I was wrong and it was just my little Twitter bubble.
That's generally my experience with Microsoft support. Microsoft support won't even acknowledge that there's a bug most of the time. (I've heard tell they have some really bad KPIs for their tier-1 support people.) Google support usually figures out my issues within a week. Of course I use GCP more heavily than Azure so part of this is probably me writing significantly better bug reports. (On the other hand, while there are aspects of GCP I dislike none of Azure's stuff makes any sense to me. It seems like Azure managed to build something in a few years that has more accumulated incompatible interfaces hidden behind nested dialogs than all of the MS Windows OS.)
That seems like a dangerous generalization that someone can use to hand-wave away any actual misinformation, which as the blog mentions, does exist and is spread (albeit by a small percentage of very prolific posters).

Misinformation exists, and it is a problem. At this point we've seen some evidence that state actors put some of it out there during the 2016/2020 elections, and it can be spread organically.

That said, it's not nearly as widespread or problematic as it's made to be by much of popular media.
I am really curios - how does an exchange never materialise any trades and people don't notice?
Also, as a fellow Crohnie - how do you "suddenly" die of Crohn's?
Unless you have some very weird use case (and probably even then), that sounds like a bad application of the "keyword arguments bad for performance" mental model.

The reason to use immutable structs is better performance when you use them, not when you construct them - how often are you constructing new struct objects that the constructor performance is a significant issue? And if you are constructing many many thousands of objects to the level it becomes a performance concern, any difference from keyword arguments will be easily dwarfed by the cost of actually constructing the struct in memory.

Also, these constructors ar simply passing on these named arguments to the non-keyword constructors. Anything complex you're doing during construction will be happening in the non-keyword constructors, and those do get specialized to have good performance; these keyword constructors are simply providing a small, simple interface to them, in a way that shouldn't affect performance in any measurable way.
Yeah and the way I described it every "skeptical instructions" was a catch ... that triggered on every call.

Unlike code that triggers (hopefully) only when something weird happens, the cost of the special instructions and the dysfunction that followed was ultra high.

The configuration of the service is much easier than Google makes it. Filtering took some getting used to, but I have it working much better than I ever could on Google, so happy bunny there. And the Android client is OK too.

The only meh part (for me) is the web interface for email/calendar isn't as streamlined as Google, but being out of that eco-system more than makes up for it.

> While today’s cumulative deaths is highly dependent on yesterday’s (it should theoretically never be less, for example), today’s new deaths isn’t as directly correlated to yesterday’s.

Sort of. Assuming a wave pattern, values will be close to neighbouring values and vary in an gradual manner.

> "Since the pandemic began, Americans’ happiness has cratered"
As if this isn't mostly because of the disruption to normal life caused by the pandemic?

I don't think that paints an accurate picture of the situation. Many people (I would say generations) are coming to terms with an increasingly bleak outlook on their future prospects - and that flies in the face with the sort of American exceptionalism & exponential economic growth that characterized the mid-20th century. People have been sold a tale and that just isn't coming true, and what's worse is that these same demographics often feel overshadowed by previous generations, such as the Baby Boomers. Look at the overall makeup of our government these days - the Speaker of the House & our President are the oldest they _have ever been_. It doesn't feel representative. Rent and real estate prices have sky rocketed almost everywhere, and many people (myself included) are giving up hope of ever owning a home. Climate change also looms large.

The pandemic gave many people an opportunity to pause and reevaluate their life and priorities. I'm part of the demographic that entered the workforce during the Recession of 07/08, where I worked shitty fastfood jobs to survive, and I parlayed it into a career in the restaurant business that I aggressively pursued for a decade+. I would rather put a bullet in my head than go work in a kitchen again. Especially running one. I then started a career in the trades because that seemed like the best economic opportunity for someone with limited education, and I got to work through all of 2020 + 2021 because I was 'essential', but yeah, like the article mentioned, it strongly reinforced my status as disposable and meaningless.

The issues are deeper than 'the disruption [of] normal life.'

> Be easy to work with.

I’ve been in the industry for less than 5 years, but I might be struggling with this one. I’m an IC and get so many direct requests from my manager, other managers, my team members and people from other teams. Every task I sign up for, they want timelines and status updates every week. Sometimes multiple times every week. If I only had to send out 1 status, once a week, I think I would be way more productive.

When I work with other managers/teams, often scope blows up. Hey, can you fix this little thing becomes, you’ve got to build this tool that covers 24 different use cases and give us ETAs for when every single use case will be completed.

My defense strategy has become to keep adding friction to the request process (keep asking for more specifications before I can start work) if the requests aren’t coming from my team/manager. Sometimes people go away, sometimes they pivot to other projects and ask if I can do that instead.

Sometimes I get what I call vanity projects. Projects that upper management is leading that don’t make sense (at least I’m not convinced they make sense but could be persuaded otherwise) but are there to win these people brownie points. Sometimes there’s almost an irrational push to work on these things.

I feel like I need to do a lot to protect my time so I can do deep work (or what’s left of it) and get the really high priority stuff done. It’s kind of exhausting, I might not be easy to work with and I wish I had more mentorship (I’ve tried to find it at work and haven’t found anything substantial).
Another day, another story about losing access to Google. At what point do we legislate that there has to be a path back for what has essentially become a utility that we can't live without.

I know a lot of the comments here are "Never again, I only use email". I fall into that camp personally, but it's hard to expect that kind of discipline from others.
On a side-note, thank you very much for creating and releasing Imba! It's a joy to write apps with it and I can put things out so much faster.

There are a couple of radio shows that cater to my music tastes quite well, I own a lot of albums, and I go to gigs pretty regularly, but I was surprised at how much value I get out of my Spotify subscription.

Even if you think that the accusations against Trump (and Hillary) are as illegitimate as the ones against Navalny, you surely have to accept there is a vast difference between impeachment (and lying about the prospects of someone being locked up) and actually sending someone to a gulag and nearly killing them?

In any case, I don't judge Putin's actions based on the standard set by Trump (which would, coincidentally, give Putin a big incentive to encourage Trump to break all the norms of good governance). Other democracies manage to have more than 2 parties, and have none of their parties campaigning on a platform of "lock [the opposition] up".

Focusing on the worst examples of America specifically to try to excuse Russia's crimes is textbook whataboutism, as I'm sure you're aware.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to be antagonistic. I can see how my comment could have come off that way though. I honestly didn't even read the linked study. I was just providing a possible reason for why a search for "NSAID" may not have yielded any results.
I mean, another way to look at this is that wealth, assuming it’s reasonably liquid, can be exchanged for other goods (that is, after all, the only real point of wealth in the first place).

Surely you wouldn’t think it’s absurd to expect that if someone dies with some extra food, that other people ought to make use of that food, even if they hadn’t made a formal last will.

Besides, "how do I ensure my wife and/or children get my wealth when I die" is a question humans have been addressing for thousands of years. Only a bitcoiner could be so nihilist to not care.
I've also noticed that the term "willful ignorance" gets thrown around a lot more nowadays. There is a sizeable contingent of people who are so convinced that what they believe is the absolute truth that any disagreement or critique must therefore be out of malice rather than genuine disagreement.
That's helpful. Whenever I hear people rail against corn, I think of all the corn dishes I love as a southerner. Cornbread, grits, corn on the cobb, and at Thanksgiving, corn pudding. My wife has got me to like polenta as well. But those aren't the problems.
> If you didn't trust anyone with the keys to it while you were alive, why should anyone have it?

Wills and inheritance have been a part of human society since the beginning of civilization, I think it’s more likely we will need to find a way to make new technology adapt to society and not the other way around
you could argue those corn farmers are too lazy to figure out a crop that is actually beneficial to society and are comfortable resting in their subsidized bubble.
1) I did not say anything about not having data harvested.

2) Even if the data is being harvested, doesn't mean that there is any morality in trying to get a share of the profits. That doesn't make you smart, it makes you a cheap accomplice.

3) "free market" would apply only if all exchanged data were offered by those that own the data, and if they could determine how and when the data could be used. GDPR has shown already that some sites would rather not serve their sites to European citizens than comply with data regulations. You can bet that the intersection of high-value prospects who would be interested in selling their data for some meager dollars/year is very, very small.
>then the 8 hour work day and that's when the unions were defanged.

And now the working hours are going back up. I can talk about my country in Europe, that after the 2008 crisis, and due to the increased competition pressure form globalization, many workers' rights and protections were reduced "to increase economic competitiveness", and many professionals, blue and white collar, are now doing more than the 8h/day either willingly or forced by the circumstances of a poor jobs market with little alternatives.

And with stuff like real estate getting more and more expensive, faster than wages are growing, it's tough for anyone but the most privileged, to have the luxury of working less than 8h/day and maintaining a good lifestyle.
The nation's politics have screwed Iowa

Iowa's own laws have screwed Iowa. State law mandates the caucus occur at least eight days prior to any other state's proceedings (similarly, NH law mandates they be the first primary election). The DNC and RNC might also like it that way, but both states are complicit.
Concise writeup and useful case of Benford's law. Thanks to OP
This is a solved problem. Entities that have to custody large amounts of crypto use multi-sig wallets where N of M keys are needed to unlock them. The keys are given to a N people and kept in different locations. If someone dies, N of the remaining people can move the assets to a new wallet.
Depending on the amount, split the key across paper across multiple bank vaults and lawyers, with direction to contact all of them and bring the key together at your death.

But good luck finding someone you can trust to actually handle the money once they have the key.
Yeah only reasonable UX options. Saw somebody praise the wonders of seed phrase wallets on Twitter and could not believe my eyes.
At the beginning one of Quadriga's products was an ATM that people could use to deposit cash and get BTC in return. It's just about plausible that they emptied the ATMs and took the money home occasionally.

Your two realities are wrong.

1. You are not responsible if something's business model causes it to fail.
2. Nothing deserves compensation. There is no inherent right to earn a living.

One of the joys of capitalism is that there is a competitive marketplace. Each competitor is trying to beat the others. Sometimes on service and quality - but usually on price. If a VC is willing to subsidise something to undercut the competitors - take advantage of that.

So, sign up to an education provider and get a student discount. Rotate though your family members to keep getting new customer offers. Call up to cancel and see if they'll offer you a better deal. Find the offers which let you refer friends to get discounts. Switch to competitors.

But, most of all, ask if you are really getting £X worth of value from the subscription. If not, dump it.
Maybe they didnt hire you since you sound very eccentric (as in euphenism for strange) with those big words.

Hopefully I dont break the site rules for pointing this out, but interviews are a game to weed out people who are difficult to manage. And people who show any unusual flair are considered difficult to manage by lots of managers.

And yes, some eccentric people with whom I worked were awesome, but there were also lots of eccentric people who were not (combination of "exceptionalists" and "insufferable").

Does this imply that the locks are only there to slow down theft by those who officially touch my packages? And, who are those who touch my packages?

Put it in another way, 'you need to buy this protection, because we will steal from you'...

This dude is 100% alive.

Death due to Crohns related whatever at that age is extremely rare, especially when they mention he was otherwise young and healthy (if I misread or am misremembering about the otherwise healthy part, correct me)

& somebody with that sort of money, that also spends $90k at a La Z Boy to furnish a house, would be 9001% on top of any possible thing that Crohns could do to him.

Guarantee he’s alive & he otherwise would’ve gotten away with it if they went with a story of any other medical condition that can lead to sudden death.

(I realize this may sound insensitive to those with or knowing somebody with Crohns. I have Crohns :P)

> According to Jennifer Robertson, Cotten's widow, he died on 9 December 2018 while travelling in India.

Yeah, that seems slightly fishy.

That's heart-warming.
I'm not sure that there is any limit on the earliest day. In theory they could be any time after the last one.
I had a job where this happened to me and I just let whatever I was currently working on be derailed and worked on that instead.

If someone followed up and asked about something else, I would say "X told me to do this."

They eventually sorted it out without involving me as they then blamed the other person for the delay.
I didn't follow any training plans to get up to the half marathon distance. Once I'd finished the C25K plan I decided to see what 10K felt like and it was ok... did a few of those and then tried 15K. At that point I figured I could do a half and entered one. Although I didn't follow a plan I do keep an eye on my GPS watch to see what pace I'm doing - if I'm planning a long run I'll hold back the pace from what I know I can run so I don't tire myself out.

I think training plans depend a lot on what you're wanting to do - I just wanted to complete the distance; I could probably do it faster with a proper training plan but I've found running without worrying about time (too much) to be enjoyable (and I have still got respectable results for my age).
