Nice concrete examples.

Adding stuff together irreversibly destroys information on a fundamental level. Doing it at scale is obviously worse. There is value in a deeper look at a narrower set of individual data-points.

Same true for management looking just at key figures instead of walking around and talking to people to get a deeper understanding of what is really happening.
The induced currents flow in the ground (and water) which cause big voltage differences at either end.

Whatever, the ground currents penetrate very deep into the earths crust thus equally effecting buried cables.
There are a lot of opportunities to partner with other innovators / startups. We are always looking for ways to do things differently. For you, it translates into a different experience with greater access and more convenience. It should also mean lower cost because of the shift to virtual and at-home care.

As for who - its a big universe. There are innovations in primary care, gut biome / nutrition, biometrics, physical therapy / activity, sleep, mental health, fertility / family planning, cancer, community resources / counseling, and so on. We have a running list of over 300 companies we have reviewed and have considered in terms of how to include. The hard part is to sponsor a mix that does not overlap too much. We've done that work.
the gambler's ruin fallacy is a typical example of cumulative probability. cumulative probability measures the odds of two, three, or more events happening. there's just one catch involved: each event needs to be independent of the others. you can't have the outcome of a first event influence the probability of the next. which we know for nuclear war it be dependent upon the probability of previous events. ie. if a nuclear war starts, either everyone gets annihilated, which in turn influences the probability of the next nuclear war to be zero, or one or both of nuclear powers get severely damaged with catastrophic consequences, therefore influencing probability of future similar events
There’s also a lot more to life than studying. But the argument is that you and other kids on that path will maybe someday be exceptionally productive to society in some field.

I only skipped one grade and still felt isolated from other kids sometimes. I can’t imagine how you’d feel! As a parent I’d personally rather let my kid have a somewhat normal childhood than maximize their intellectual potential if that meant sending a 13yr old to college.

Overkill is the best kind of kill! Client and server disagree on p99 times by a lot and there's enough reports to actually look into it says there's probably something interesting going on, and pcap will tell you what it is. And you'll almost always see at least a few other things that might be worth fixing while you're looking at pcaps; some of which might actually be fixable.

Sometimes you even get lucky and can see what traffic was going on before the mysterious gap in packets, and make a good guess at what's blocking your rx queues or whatever.

You misunderstand. This person is talking bout how they see the numbers in their minds eye meaning this is how their brain works. As a visual thinker I can relate to how there's an uncanny ability to see things as shapes or things.
Shouting fire in a theater when there is no fire and expressing concern over the potentially dangerous side effects of a vaccine are different. The previous is an outright lie about a non-event while the later has some truth.

Its factually true that people have had severe adverse reactions and died from the vaccine. He interviewed genuine credentialed experts like Dr. Robert Malone on the potential dangers of the Covid vaccine.

I am in favor of the Covid vaccine and disagree with Joe but he's allowed to express his dissenting opinions.

I don't think Dendron is a Roam clone. All notetaking apps of the new generation have certain similarities, but Dendron has a pretty different philosophy for how you should organize your notes.

Roam's about the block within an outline, interlinking and transclusion.

Dendron's core schtick is making traditional hierarchies easier to work with.

Like, with Roam a feelings of power scenario would be queries getting you subtrees from disparate outlines from which you pick out relevant trains of thought to synthesize your own writing, or just an outliner's ease in manipulating your text.

With Dendron it's more like, "oh, I've been thinking about this all wrong" and restructuring your notes so your new hierarchies reflect your new understanding.
I wonder what feats such a hacker could pull off once they hear about the internet.
It's not measureable. First of you need to account for many having the same weapons (MAD) and you also need to account for the knowledge of the impact of these weapons. The knowledge does change the probability for someone willing and able to use these weapons to come into power (as well as the whole structure around the usage).
If I am not mistaken, I think the capability to effectively destroy an entire country with non-nuclear weapons already exists. So the idea is, MAD as a strategy would still be present. You can maintain a non-nuclear arsenal to enforce MAD. But we would get everybody to agree that the nuclear version of MAD would likely end humanity and therefore a global ban is appropriate.

I doubt this will ever happen. But maybe in a post-Putin, more democratic (or subdued) Russia we could get there. Not sure how enforcement would work, but a global inspection organization combined with national intelligence capabilities might be sufficient to detect any significant build up. One can dream I guess.
Giving up and getting a job isn't "growing up", thinking that way does mean you have to grow up, or listen to the spouse around you saying that. You do have a very naive take on things, good on you for being vulnerable enough to admit it.

Your attempt to build a "software business" by "building software that you hope turn into business" is laughable and the example you give is the punchline. You can't just identify problems, you have to identify the size of the problem, the market size and sales cycle.

It is very likely you will find building stuff for other people to be very fulfilling.
With a little experience in this area, I think that a replay-log is the best way to go, possibly with some data "encrypted until revealed".

eg: chess has algebraic notation and that allows replay, undo/redo, save/load, etc.

If you were to come up with some notation for chinese checkers... blammo, same concept.

The "replay log" doubles as a relatively expensive save-game format (re-run the steps).

If you're doing something like texas hold'em, you might do:

Deal @ 1 => "XX, YY"; Deal @ 2 => "AA, BB"; Flop "AH, 2H, 3S" ; Bet @ 1 => $12.34 ; etc...

...and then "materialize" the XX,YY things at the end, while maybe keeping individual + central records.

eg: 1.json => (XX==4S, YY==5H) // 2.json => (AA==6H, BB==7H) // central.json == union(*.json)

...multiplayer is hard, but some sort of replay-log of the messages is my current thinking of the only rational outcome. If you're looking to make an online boardgame IDE, then focusing on devising a game notation (which may include privacy) would be helpful.

This seems to be an attitude more prevalent in the US, to simply assume that it the outcome of this is too horrible and that there is no point in trying. It is actually quite possible to survive and your chances can be greatly improved especially with a little planning and if you read this:

I don’t think kids generally see the tests as particularly gross. (They like to put their fingers up there, remember?) And certainly not unusual, not now at least. Maybe intrusive, but kids put up with far more intrusive stuff all the time. I brush my kids’ teeth for them. That is way more intrusive than a nasal swab. It also takes way longer.

Kids are quite adept at accepting things if the parents are consistent and reasonable. I see lots of little kids wearing masks whenever they’re in public because their parents and caregivers expect it. I see other kids who don’t and some of their parents explain to me all about how their kids “can’t” (with no hint of why they can’t). No surprise. If you don’t expect something, you’ll find your kids don’t do it. (My kids are ridiculously picky eaters. I’m willing to accept that this is my fault.)

And yeah, some kids are special needs in some way. But most are not. I’ve also had parents tell me that the only way they can get their kids to ever calm down is to put them in front of the TV. Sure. That’s definitely your kid and not your fault.

> I am not feigning outrage. I'm suggesting to you that you're being overbroad with your assertions in this context.

I‘ve been pretty clear that I agree some kids have special needs and should get special accommodations.

My point was that in general kids are totally fine with being swabbed for tests. (At least in the US. Sounds like your UK kits maybe suck.) Claiming that in general kids are being traumatized by being swabbed is an outright lie. Kids adapt to all sorts of things they don’t actually like.

To be clear, I also did not actually attack any particular parents here. I responded to this originally:

“Even when doing it "right," these rapid at-home tests instill horror, social and mental problems, and all sorts of insane power hierarchies that confuse young, growing minds.”

This is incorrect, but regardless it doesn’t even say that he has kids. My statement (“You’re the one causing the problems”) was a rhetorical device to answer the general claim that kids are being traumatized, not a literal accusation of blame.
Still exists, but support in modern macOS apps is pretty spotty.

One app which does have surprisingly good AppleScript support is Music, which exposes the library as a fully featured OSA collection:

tell application "Music"
play (some track whose genre is "Rock" and duration < 240)
end tell

Unfortunately, the scripting dictionary is kind of old, and doesn't fully expose some newer features like "Up Next".
Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_Germany, Germany currently gets ~30% from wind and 10% from solar in 2020.

You're saying at 40% of current energy needs they've entirely maxed out Germany's solar and wind potential? That there's no more acreage left for new panels and turbines?
What if you find shelter with a small community?

You're missing half the equation. 'Every'[0] national leader is willing to start a nuclear war given some particular set of circumstances. There's always some line that they will not allow their enemies to cross.

The difference between leaders is what those circumstances are. It's in where that line is. [1]

Public communications on this subject have to be taken with a pound of salt. It's in every nuclear nation's interests to claim that line is further out than it really is... As long as they believe that broadcasting the claim itself won't start nuclear war.

It's also in every nuclear nation's interests to be very mindful about where their adversary's line is.

[0] Okay, there might be a closet pacifist somewhere that won't use them in any situation, but if there is, they certainly aren't broadcasting that.

[1] So far, we're batting a thousand for 'No national leader whose last name was not Truman started a nuclear war in a situation where his state was not fighting an existential war'.

This statistic, unfortunately, is not particularly helpful.
On the other hand we have a lot of data points of humans and nations using every available edge to expand their power throughout history. Also we have made social systems where narcissistic greed and lust for power seems to get pretty much rewarded with more money and power, and misinformation runs rampant. More powerful weapons systems will get developed until MAD might not be certainty for the aggressor, if bombs can be delivered stealthily in minutes. Or at least MAD might get tested with one warning shot, delivering a message of "what is your actual defense going to be, I don't really care about the world anyways"

I don't really see it as much as daily roll of a dice but more of a system that might guarantee to force us down that road some day within a few generations.
ProtonMail is arguably the biggest privacy brand, especially when it comes to well... email. They do a bit of marketing as well which people who aren't so technical are going to be picked up by. It's the same situation as with VPNs being advertised on YouTube. Both of these kinds of products are used by paranoid people who don't have an understanding of what they're protecting themselves from.

Then this is a problem with your team. On the other hand, my team has been more productive. I enter work with more energy that would be wasted during a commute. I often work later knowing I don't need to account for an evening commute. We can multi-task during portions of meetings which don't require our attention.

You sound like a micromanager. If you have notable metrics that show decreased output, then raise the issue and correct it. But don't say that everyone should be subject to losing privileges due to your team's poor performance.
In 2018 everyone who pays attention knew that hundreds of thousands of people in our country would die every year from a contagious disease, also known as the flu.

You seem to be of the mind that you can somehow stop the spread of Covid, you can't. We have not been able to stop any respiratory virus from spreading EVER. Your vaccines will only limit the effects of the virus on you if you get it. It will in no way stop you from spreading it.

The bar to becoming a doctor is significantly higher than becoming a programmer though. And there are several obligations you have with professional boards on continuing education and remaining sharp in your practice.

I find it hard to agree with the idea that a programmer’s time is respected less than a doctor’s too. How many hours per a week does a doctor work vs programmer? Unless you are experienced and in a cushy private practice, I’d bet the doctor has less freedom with time.
Yes - but how many high-class (social or economic) parents would fight hard to get their kids into schools with bottom-percentile per-pupil funding?
A wildcarded principle by itself doesn't mean too much. There are settings outside of the S3 bucket access policy that can mean "it doesn't matter what the bucket thinks".

This here is something other products typically don't check, and because of that create a lot of noise that a person has to check through.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMi5PSyFu8s

Other products only look at properties in isolation. As I mentioned the SG rules only become security relevant if many other things in an environment are also true, ARGOS checks for those, others typically don't. Only one example of our "context awareness".

The diagram shows the "kill chain" of how someone could laterally move through your environment, again something others typically don't do.

I said it before, we don't find more, we help you find the ones in the noise that actually matter from a security point of view.

The ways we could end up in a nuclear war are frightening to the point of madness.
90% of Americans were pro-war against Iraq, and most Americans actually believed that it was a righteous war while most Iraqis saw it as a war of aggression. Like how is that different from your own example that russians believe that this is a special operation to denazify ukraine?

I think you just don't remember or know about the general opinion back in 2003 so you think this sort of complete disconnect is unique to Russia. Yes the opinion later changed and anti war sentiment became mainstream but that wasn't in 2003 or even 2004.

We aren't talking about just ignorance about civilian casualties in the Middle East but an almost complete belief that the invasion of Iraq was righteous and that they were actually freeing the country. You can't just downplay how pervasive that belief to claim that it is a false equivalency.

I get that Americans had a diverse media and that it wasn't state controlled, but does that matter when you get a 80-90% public support for such a disgusting act of aggression?
Big second vote here for get a job at LargeCo (doesn’t even have to be at a tech company and you might even be better off finding business opportunities working in tech at like some big consumer goods co, insurance, etc…) and observe workflows.

People do some bizarre things to get their jobs done each day and if you see enough similar bizarre things from lots of people, you ask questions then present potential solutions to see if there’s a product hidden in there.

Wishing you luck!

>One thing that worries me particularly about the current situation is how calculating Putin is, and how little regard he has for the US.

I will say it is the other way around. The US considered Russia "done" and expanded NATO without concern about Russia.

It was the US the one that broke the deal of preserving the status quo. That was extremely evident when the US started maneuvering to take Sevastopol from Russia(via Maidan coup d'etat supported by the US), something extremely dangerous as Russia could not let that happen as we have seen.

I still think you're missing the point a bit. I don't think the author is doing this as some sort of trick or by design. I think they're literally describing how they visualize numbers in their head. Reading through other peoples' comments seems to support my conclusion on this.

Maybe they visualize other number relations differently in their head. To me, I could not do math in my head like this and it makes very little sense to me. I don't even really get what they're describing to be honest with you. I visualize numbers in my head as the number symbol you'd write down.
Cannot "just" switch? What's that mean, exactly? Surely there is some kind of a procedure for people to change their "sports" nationality if they really have emigrated and so on?

(You might think of having a rule that you can only change your "sports" nationality if you "renounce" your previous citizenship, but it many cases it's not possible to "renounce" citizenship: you can let your passport expire, but whatever condition, such as place of birth, allowed you to apply for that passport in the first place would still exist so you would continue to have the option of receiving a passport for the previous country if you ever wanted to apply for one. Moreover, it would be impossible for you to prove you hadn't done that because countries do not, as a rule, issue documents to certify that a given person does not have a valid passport!)

> I think we have to draw a distinction between authoritarianism and illiberalism.

Fair enough. I'm less sure about the specific technical distinctions, and I'm more concerned about the magnitude of the illiberalism rather than the particular way it is organized. I.e., I'm not convinced that one illiberal president is worse than the institutional illiberalism in the media, the academy, entertainment, public education, etc. So long as we can maintain liberal, democratic norms, the checks on the President's power remain robust; however, the left and the right both frequently work to degrade those norms.

However, I am pretty sure that (while it wasn't always this way) right-wing illiberalism is largely a response to left-wing illiberalism for the last decade or so. The left sets the precedent and the right responds in kind, often with years of delay (although I think the lag time is decreasing quickly). I'm thinking of things like:

* January 6th couldn't have happened if politicians, the media, celebrities, etc hadn't breathlessly defended, justified, and/or fanned BLM riots for the better part of a decade.

* The ranks of far-right groups didn't swell until woke race ideologies were preached for years in the media, classrooms, DEI departments, etc

* "cancel culture"[^1] was a left-wing innovation before the right eventually (and half-heartedly) adopted it

Note that this isn't to ascribe guilt to the left, but rather to observe how the system works because it hints at some solutions. Off the top of my head:

1. Work to restore the aspirational neutrality and objectivity of epistemological institutions

2. Hold the left accountable to liberal standards, just like we hold the right accountable

3. Denounce narratives which seek to deprecate our American identity in favor of racial, sexual, religious, or political identities.

[^1]: Cancel culture: campaigns to petition someone's employer to terminate the employment relationship (and thus access to income, healthcare, etc) for speech which the in-group finds objectionable, but which is otherwise well-within the Overton Window. Especially with respect to ordinary people (as opposed to celebrities and others who are mostly symbolic targets).
