I feel this. 2021-2022 has been insane as a person looking to buy a new house, car, and get kids into daycare. Luckily we already own a house with good equity, have a good car, and have childcare. But we’re looking at moving and upgrading a few of these things, and let me tell you. The demand for housing and vehicles is beyond anything I could have imagined. Houses routinely selling for 30-50% over list. Car dealerships selling new cars at $10k over MSRP because the two year old version of that car is selling for the price of a new one used.

If we didn’t have existing assets like a house or quality cars we could trade in I don’t know what we would do. Just having two good salaries, a lot of cash, and high credit isn’t cutting. You need assets.

Classifying an iPad as an eReader is a bit misleading IMHO. I would have never made the connection if it wasn't mentioned in the article.

The intensity of light needed on an iPad to read comfortably is much higher then a backlit eInk reader e.g. a Kindle Paperwhite. Personally it doesn't affect me very much on such devices, but it would be interesting to see if there is a noticeable difference.

Tonight I'm cooking Mushroom Risotto. I'm British. I guess the act of cooking it isn't cultural appropriation because I'm not making a profit from it. But is the seller of the risotto rice appropriating from Italians?

This extends to other things; like I eat potatoes; which were domesticated by Native Americans. I purchased mine from Lidl which probably makes a profit from them. Is that cultural appropriation?
Flash on Android ended up running pretty badly. They couldn't even come up with a way to make old apps playable without a keyboard and mouse, if I recall correctly. Then Adobe gave up and discontinued it.

I pirated Ableton Live until v5. I've paid for the full suite every release after that. If I hadn't pirated it, I wouldn't be paying for it now. This is pretty much ubiquitous in Ableton users, and I'm pretty sure that it applies to many other high end software packages. Photoshop would probably be the best example, but Office, Autocad and many others would have a similar customer base.

Very little of this existed before the 1700s because all the science and math knowledge was still being stolen from the rest of the world using the racist "Doctrine of Christian Discovery".

Patents granted to Asians, Africans, and indigenous Americans for prior-art would bankrupt Europe.

Remember, before the 15th century less than 5 people could do long division in Europe. Try solving middle/high school math equations without the number 0 and using only roman numerals, you will understand the problem very quickly. For this and many other reasons, most of the intellectual heavy lifting was done outside of Europe. It took 400 years or so to collect information and catch up to the rest of the world.

>This course is an introduction to the theory that tries to explain how minds are made from collections of simpler processes.

Whereas, at least in parts, the brain seems to work 'reductively': [1]

>In fish...

>"Contrary to expectation, the synaptic strengths in the pallium remained about the same regardless of whether the fish learned anything. Instead, in the fish that learned, the synapses were pruned from some areas of the pallium — producing an effect “like cutting a bonsai tree,” Fraser said — and replanted in others."

Could it be that we need other forms of thinking than mere 'analytical thinking' to come up with a full understanding of the human mind?

From memory, people were getting large mortgages they couldn't afford once the teaser rate had expired (usually 1 - 2 years). The reason they were able to get these mortgages is because lenders were doing little or no due diligence.

This did coincide with a period when fuel prices were rising but, I think, this was more a case of 'the last straw breaking the camel's back' rather than a direct causation of financial distress.
Student loan debt has been in de facto default for awhile now in terms of collecting the interest payments. So we already "know" the impact that would have. It also CANT be defaulted in the sense of extinguishing the debt, because the government will just garnish future wages and earnings, including social security checks.

> Putin has seen NATO's expansion as an existential threat, and the prospect of Ukraine joining the Western military alliance a "hostile act" -- a view he invoked in a televised speech on Thursday, saying that Ukraine's aspiration to join the military alliance was a dire threat to Russia.

But that's not the whole picture. The main reason behind this war is that Putin considers Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine as one nation, one people. In a lot of ways his actions mirror that of Adolf Hitler in the 1930s, when he wanted to unify the german people under one nation. Here's a quote from a lengthy article by Putin published last year:

> I am confident that true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only in partnership with Russia. Our spiritual, human and civilizational ties formed for centuries and have their origins in the same sources, they have been hardened by common trials, achievements and victories. Our kinship has been transmitted from generation to generation. It is in the hearts and the memory of people living in modern Russia and Ukraine, in the blood ties that unite millions of our families. Together we have always been and will be many times stronger and more successful. For we are one people.

> Today, these words may be perceived by some people with hostility. They can be interpreted in many possible ways. Yet, many people will hear me. And I will say one thing – Russia has never been and will never be ”anti-Ukraine“. And what Ukraine will be – it is up to its citizens to decide.

unfair to whom exactly? Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the massacre of its citizen is certainly a bigger injustice.
The psychoacoustic effect of compression and loss of dynamic range is a perceived increase in loudness.
No, it might also be aimed at Ukranians who have suffered tremendously. Here is a way out of their misery, Putin says, and the price is so small, he says.

They make think so, but often it seems not really so. Many of these people end up "rich and powerful" but also hiding in a bunker their whole lives, or not able to trust anyone. They could have a better life by being "good" leaders.
Russian Federation is not created on free will, but on force. Nobody asked peoples is they want to become members of RF. IMHO, if an exit referendum will be allowed in RF (they are forbidden), then most nations will take opportunity and escape. Currently, escape is not possible.

For example, Chechnya tried to escape the prison, so Russian used thousands of tons of explosives, FAE's (which is comparable to low yield nuclear weapons) to destroy independent Chechnya state, which was able to escape after first war. Russian FSB bombed their own citizens to provoke war with Chechnya.
I think at the time, no Kindles had back-lights. That's since changed so I'd be curious which side they'd be on in the study then.
It is also funny that people think banks do not want you to default on your mortgage. What did they learn from 2008? They can hand out mortgages ignoring valid economic signals that these people will not be able to repay it, they will then get your house and the government will bail them out and make laws against sleeping in a public place.

Yeah, sure, let's completely depend on our own honest media rather than being able to cross-check it with opposing parties. It surely won't create an echo chamber wherein our own media could report whatever they want, it surely won't result in less objective reporting and more propaganda.
Zelensky was talking about an attack that happened within hours of his message, can't blame him for fog of war. And he didn't call for violence but for response from international community, which frankly he has every right to do when fascist invaders are taking over major nuclear power plants in your country, don't you think?

You seriously bringing up that example in contrast to russian propaganda machine weaponising a completely fabricated story about crucified boy, with intention of evoking deep emotional response and getting separatists to start fighting?
Russia promised to protect the territorial integrity of Ukraine and actually did so on paper in that case.
Absolutely ludicrous.
What ComradePhil means is: If poor countries' police are corrupt simply because they're so poorly paid, shouldn't the poor countries' police chiefs be honest, as they're paid more? And yet the police chief probably makes much more bribe money.

As I understand things, highly corrupt countries have a sort of 'bribe pyramid' where the police chief remits a certain amount of bribe revenue to his boss in order to keep his job, who in turn gives a portion to his boss and so on, so the police chief sees a lot of money, but will be replaced if he develops a conscience.

Webinar March 16th: Bryntum Scheduling Suite 5.0 Walkthrough
I think software can create a good version of a video taken from a middle-tier camera. My 8-year-old DSLR, Nikon D750, can take 4k video at 60fps. Its sensor has more dynamic range than even high-end screens can produce. When I take a picture of my TV I can see individual pixels. That camera can capture every bit of info my screen is putting out. I bet from a 4k/60fps video from my camera you can process it to produce something closer to a 1080p/30fps BlueRay rip.

This was not the case with handy-cam theater rips. Those things were at best 480p and could never capture the picture projected on a screen even in the best conditions.

Sorry for confusion, there is no law to give all possible political ideas equal air time.

Is about preventing fake facts being presented , you will pay if you do that and you are forced to admit it like a TV channel will have to present
"Our channel was fined with XYZ for the content we published at date because we did ABC"

Since bad behavior costs you money and you have to publicly admit when you were wrong and you have to also show affected parties response you will think a few times before you present something, maybe if you are not sure you label it "we cannon confirm X" .

But the issue with this constitution rules is that are old and do not specify the internet, IMO is a good idea to have media follow an good code of conduct and punish them when they repeatedly fail to do so, they are professionals not teens on reddit
sure, from their perspective they are. but they are a tyrannical dictatorship - we know that. don't we? do you? just checking, because, you know...

Came here to add another voice to the discourse that an iPad is most definitely not a "light-emitting eReader" in popular vernacular. That term calls to mind recent e-ink devices with frontlights, which are often used in place of LCD-devices to allow for some time away from harsher backlit screens before bed.

Burying that lede several sections deep feels almost purposely misleading, either that or just incompetent in my opinion.
Do you have actual evidence of that in a case like this?

> I'm not arguing against the IP regime in the US/EU, or for breaking IP laws

Maybe you should be.

Personally I am of the stance that IP rights are inherently unenforceable once a work is released to the public, especially in the digital realm where information copies itself freely. Knowledge and art should be freely given and received and IP laws are directly opposed to this. There are other ways to monetize almost all forms of IP if that is the desired outcome.
Gas prices have been from the $2.00 to the $5.00 mark for the past decade. Adjusting for inflation Gas is getting relatively cheaper but the last time it actually changed consumption it would be around 2008 so it was at the $5.00 mark ($6.55 a gallon).

Biden just released the national gas reserves which is an attempt to keep prices lower. For a long time it has been said that we have to change peoples behavior to solve the global climate crisis but that seems unrealistic and I think instead we should invest in large scale carbon sequestration projects. Telling people what to do doesn't go over very well for anyone.
Also, the control group is not someone reading a book with a lamp, but someone reading a book in a dark room without a lamp. So really it boils down to 'light' or 'no light'.
Yes, it's insane that people who don't necessarily support Putin are deprived of resources and opportunity, all in the name of justice. I think a lot people just want to show they did something, just any random thing, not knowing that by alienating potential allies in Russia they're forcing people in Russia to beg to be on Putin's side.

There’s nothing dangerous about my comment and in fact it represents the status quo for fighting polio worldwide:

1. Vaccines are the best defense against poliovirus.

2. The vaccines sometimes but rarely give people polio (more often than the wild virus in fact).

3. Polio is a very treatable disease, so contracting polio either from the vaccine or the live virus represents low risk.

I’m literally just stating the worldwide polio eradication strategy: vaccinate, monitor, treat. Not sure why you’re so sensitive about it.

> The LE-eBook was set to the maximum brightness setting.

Others on this thread have pointed out that it's an iPad.

For years now, this has seemed like common sense to me. Of course you don't want to blast a tablet or laptop screen at 100% brightness when you're trying to get your brain to fall asleep.

I use a Kobo e-reader with its brightness set to 1%. I can't imagine that exposes my eyes to light amplitudes that would exceed that of a lamp. In a dark room I don't have any problem reading the words, and I don't think I've had any sleep problems.
Their entire supply chain from cars to planes to military goods to computers and software relies on the west. Their best people have already left and more will leave soon.

In some sense they could survive on a war footing (i.e. people won’t starve) but their economy will take decades to recover even if sanctions are lifted soon. They lost 25% of their wealth in a few days (rubble) and don’t even have a functioning stock market.

This is already a catastrophe for Russia.

Anecdotally, even if you say something like "I think sanctions will just hurt every day people who are just like me and you and probably just want to live a happy life without wars and not the people making the decisions to start war" people get incensed and call you a shill / bot / etc. It's a strange time.

It's incredibly common.
I am deeply disturbed at all of the "rule of law for thee, not for me" that the Russian sanctions have brought to the surface. It was bad enough when the UK, which has very strict laws on fighting for foreign nations and paramilitaries, said they'd ignore their own citizens going over to fight. This is a different league all together.
No, it's literally moderation. Platforms can promote or demote content as they see fit to better appeal to the market. Newspapers are not obligated to print every letter to the editor. Youtube is not legally bound to air any random video that was uploaded.

gasoline -> gas at least has a certain logic to it, even though "gas" is unfortunately already a word that means something rather opposite. "Petrol" has always seemed strange to me, too, though, since nobody pumps black sludge ("petroleum") into their car but rather the clear, fluid petroleum distillate called gasoline.

I got curious, and "Gasoline" apparently comes from "Gazoline", which Samuel Boyd used to avoid trademark infringement with Patent Cazeline Oil (for use in artificial light), which was named after John Cassell. [1]
