Contrarians and lone wolves can sometimes get promoted if they're truly brilliant, but otherwise will get passed over in favor of people who are more "engaged".

Last night while doing a search, I found myself pondering the fact that recently I've been using DDG more than before.. and it's not because DDG has become so good, it's because Google has become so trash.

One upside I see with hydrogen is that it is easier to store on the scale of days.

Hence you can be more opportunistic with your hydrogen production. Whereas an electricity based process will require a constant supply of electricity, putting more strain on the grid, and on prices in moments where wind and solar are low in production.

In fact, I imagine the hydrogen production could help level out daily fluctuations in power availability.
Go through the emacs tutorial (built-in) to learn how to navigate buffers and the system correctly. Learn incrementally. When you start with org-mode, start by treating it as a fancy outliner. Pick one or two new features to integrate into your toolkit every couple of weeks (maybe more or more often, everyone's pace is different) to use. Abuse the hell out of them to make it muscle memory, and then scale back to a more reasonable use.

Install and use helm (others may suggest something different, but I like it). With it set up, when you start typing M-x and typing out a name, it will show you all the current possible matches and their keyboard shortcuts. Makes discovery much easier than without. It can be hooked into other parts of the system as well, but that's my #1 reason to recommend it to a new emacs user. Emacs discovery is pretty good, but this makes it even better.

Use the "apropos" commands and the built-in help capabilities. C-h <various things> will tell you all about emacs, in general, and your current configuration. C-h b, for instance, tells you all the current key bindings (which can be different depending on the currently active modes).

Use daemon mode and emacsclient. The key thing here, if you close all your open windows your emacs session doesn't terminate. You can reopen it and all your buffers will be accessible. You can force kill it (M-x server-force-delete) and restart the daemon later if you get into a weird state (possible early on when playing with your configuration).

Read the manuals. The emacs manual and org-mode manual (I don't use org-roam so can't comment on it) are fantastic. Just browse through them, see if a table of contents item catches your attention, go to that section and read it. See if you can apply it, otherwise "forget" it and maybe later you'll think, "I want to do X, oh, wait, I think I saw that in the manual...".

You learn it like any other thing in life. You probably didn't learn to use your OS of choice all in one go. You maybe started with a graphical interface or the shell. Learned a few key things, and only later learned more options that you were able to use to enhance your experience. "Oh, C-r lets me search backward through my shell history. That's cool, I'll use that a lot." But you probably didn't know it when you started learning (or forgot because you were inundated with information).

It's entirely possible to take a side on the ideological issue(s) without having a stake in a particular application, and it's extremely disingenuous to pretend otherwise. Don't pretend to be a disinterested observer and then selectively repeat one side's claims. The fact that you haven't supported those claims with anything but insult ("you're kidding yourself") doesn't make them neutral.

Yes, the problems continue to compound in this almost invisible way to people who haven't experienced it.

My luck of course is that my parents were brilliant observers and educators (just lacked any financial background.) Just unplugged from material humanity due to their respective upbringing. Which was lovely, and in many ways very wholesome, but killed them and devastated my family in the end, I still miss them dearly.

Can confirm the Michael O'Church quote.

Long before I had financial security I learned to code switch, to present that demurring, almost embarrassed and indifferent attitude towards money, if you met me in person I can come across as a pretty standard tech bro from a wealthy background. It helps immensely with the leverage imbalance, to appear as an almost gadfly, but it's all very complicated and there are trade offs and unlearned implicit things that I don't have an intuitive grasp on.

I don't really talk about poverty and climbing out of it except on HN, it's usually not personally fruitful and not part of my daily headspace. Everything is smoother when you focus on the similarities of your conversation partners and commonalities. We are all one humanity after all, even if not everyone grasps the depth of that truth.

Something Conservatives and Democrats can agree on: Ethanol sucks. There is a rare moment where both sides could see past their differences to accomplish something here.

* It makes muscle cars slower

* It is terrible for engines, no matter what the lobbyists tell you

* Ethanol plants smell

* Corn uses a ton of ground water, depleting the Ogallala Aquifer and destroying habitats

* Using diesel fuel to harvest corn which makes ethanol... is just stupid. You'd be better off just burning the diesel in cars.

* The EPA was successfully paid off to implement Ethanol. They should be held accontable.

I think the only sharp resistance is going to be Nebraska, but generally, everyone hates it and it needs to go.

That's what Eduardo Saverin did (one of the co-founders of Facebook). Settled out of court, moved all the money out of country, ran off to Singapore, and renounced his citizenship.

There’s no better solution - you either have ads or a paywall, which will result in few users.

If there were a better solution we’d all already be using it. Certainly you can rely on savvy people to produce free stuff, but the total amount of content will be drastically lower and therefore fewer consumers.

Frontend coding will only get you so far. Eventually you will have to tinker with APIs. I prefer the JAM stack personally, and there's many tools you can offload backend mechanics to, and you don't need to re-invent the wheel when it comes to the backend. Also: The NoCode movement is taking off but I'm not sure if employers are including that in their requirements. It would be nice though.

Within the last 6 months I’m seeing a rise of very good NLP content farms that almost have what I’m looking for but not quite. I think what they do is start off a transformer based NLP with example queries that others have searched for and it generates a realistic looking answer that’s usually wrong. The scale and breadth of these could only be done by machines.

I read the post's article, and the two articles in the top-level comment. Transferring real estate into a trust isn't a viable way to keep ill gotten gains from a bankruptcy court. Selling assets would only be sketchy if she attempted to divert some of that money, which isn't mentioned (and I'm sure those transactions received intense scrutiny). What other peculiar things did she do?

It seems like for the "mastermind theory", the last thing one would ever want to do is bring someone into the fold who would stay behind and knowingly shoulder all the legal trouble. And from her perspective, getting married and being named executor would be a terrible idea drastically increasing her involvement - an unmarried "girlfriend" could passively walk away while the legal system did its thing.

If this was an exit scam, it seems highly likely that Robertson was an unwitting patsy. Granted, encouraging this conclusion is a large part of why she'd write a book. But I just don't see how the alternative would make sense in the slightest.

Yeah, not frowned upon at all. StaticCompiler.jl [1] has made huge strides in the past few weeks actually thanks to Mason and Valentin (swapping in GPUCompiler as the backend); you can even compile to a tiny standalone binary without linking to the runtime if you're willing to use some tricks e.g. [2] to avoid GC allocations (stack allocations and manual heap allocations are both fine):

# This is all StaticCompiler-friendly
using StaticTools

function print_args(argc::Int, argv::Ptr{Ptr{UInt8}})
# c"..." lets you construct statically-sized, stack allocated `StaticString`s
# We also have m"..." and MallocString if you want the same thing but on the heap
printf(c"Argument count is %d:\n", argc)
for i=1:argc
# iᵗʰ input argument string
pᵢ = unsafe_load(argv, i) # Get pointer
strᵢ = MallocString(pᵢ) # Can wrap to get high-level interface
println(strᵢ)
# No need to `free` since we didn't allocate this memory
end
println(c"That was fun, see you next time!")
return 0
end

# Compile executable
using StaticCompiler # `] add https://github.com/tshort/StaticCompiler.jl` to get latest master
filepath = compile_executable(print_args, (Int64, Ptr{Ptr{UInt8}}), "./")

yielding:

shell> ./print_args 1 2 3 4 5.0 foo
Argument count is 7:
./print_args
1
2
3
4
5.0
foo
That was fun, see you next time!

shell> hyperfine './print_args hello there'
Benchmark 1: ./print_args hello there
Time (mean ± σ): 2.2 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 0.8 ms, System: 0.0 ms]

GC allocations are allowed if you use instead the approach in this PR [3], but we haven't wrangled that approach to produce standalone binaries yet.

How is this shocking? Google has a very strong track record in killing useful services.
The word freedom also falls into a glittering generality [0]. Wikipedia states:

“A glittering generality has two qualities: it is vague and it has positive connotations. Words and phrases such as "common good", "reform", "courage", "democracy", "freedom", "hope", "patriotism", "strength", are terms with which people all over the world have powerful associations, and they may have trouble disagreeing with them. However, these words are highly abstract and ambiguous, and meaningful differences exist regarding what they actually mean or should mean in the real world. George Orwell described such words at length in his essay "Politics and the English Language"” [0, 1].

My fear is that walled gardens might win in the future because who guarantees you that websites won't move to Facebook Pages, Facebook Groups, Slack and Discord channels etc. Open web is weaker than ever just look at LinkedIn; walled garden, throws you Register form in the face when you try to access it and won't let anybody crawl or scrape their content except Google who drives more traffic to their walled garden.

US LTCG taxes are ridiculously low (0% under the 15% tax bracket), and that's going to be the primary income source for early retirees. This is such an overblown argument unless you're working overseas and then you're often very well paid AND countries often have tax treaties to give you a break.

I tried it once just out of curiosity.

They wrapped a lot of the stuff around my case, to the point that I spent a few minutes getting it off afterwards. Which I suspect is the point. A lock can be removed in a second. Then just quickly open, scan for anything valuable, close.

Removing the wrapping is a considerable effort, takes time, and leaves a huge heap of plastic that may cause somebody to ask questions.

So at least on the metric of that locks are there just to make your stuff look more bothersome to get into than the next person's, I'd say the plastic does amazingly well.

I've always used the terms "lens" or "worldview" to describe that starting point, and I think the most fruitful conversations with people I don't agree with usually stem around understanding that we do our personal calculus differently, and that doesn't make them a terrible human being. We both certainly believe that we have the correct view (or we wouldn't hold it), we're not diminishing that there is a reality where one of us is likely correct and the other is wrong, but that we don't have all of the information to say that someone is being willfully ignorant, as other replies have stated.

For credit card churning, there are no tax headaches because reward points aren't taxed as income. There are still many viable ways to "spend money on the credit card yet have it return back to you at a lower cost than the rewards rate."

Most of the people that I see pulling in 5 figures from churning are doing a combination of that plus bank account bonus churning. I'm talking about the kind of deal where you put in 200k for a few months and get a 2k bonus - hence the question about how much cash is around. It's a little active but you'll get closer to ~10% APY chasing those bonuses. That is taxed as income, though. Still, it's pretty straight forward on taxes since everything comes in as a 1099.

I also believe there are arbitrage strategies in crypto markets that would meet the goal easier. On the spectrum, though, that's going to be the most tax headache approach.

Happy to share some alpha with you. DM me on Twitter!
Google still decides to interpret that however they like. Even the verbatim option in Search Tools doesn’t always help.
Just an anecdote but I was shocked when I went home over the holiday and nearly everyone told me they use duckduckgo now. These are not tech people either, I am from a small rural town in upstate NY. I couldn't believe it and although it is a small sample size there must be serious problems with google.
Here in the US, the military industrial complex would use it to drive funding, sow fear, and keep "strong on defense" politicians in power. It also serves to distract from the abject failure of governments worldwide to properly handle Covid.

However, I have been lied to repeatedly by "news" organizations, so why not use the power of the internet to see how things really are? I did a search for live webcams based in Ukraine, and it looks to me like things there are actually quite normal. People are walking around the public squares, there are people skiing on the slopes.

Is there really anything more than political shenanigans to keep Ukraine out of NATO happening? I have reason to doubt it.
