Probably because as much as I dislike Bill Gates, and the Gates Foundation, Melinda Gates massively benefit(ed)|(s) from all the bullshit and fanfare and I'd like to see some evidence in general before I condemn people.

I didn't downvote that comment though.
You are right. I’ve been in Notion heavy companies almost since its launch, and I’m not sure I ever tried to print a page ever.

Sharing has been done in two ways as far as I remember: straight making the page public when it was open information, or using Notion as a common draft and reformatting the text in Docs (+ adding headers etc.) before sending it to the partner.

I think instinctively anything “serious”, like a legal contract for instance, goes into Docs, even if Notion or another tool is used as a first step for collaboration.
I think it's important to note that a big part of free soloing is the mental game, and no amount of rehearsal on a rope can fully prepare you for that. Alex had free soloed thousands of pitches of rock, at vary degrees of difficulty before taking on El Cap.

What impresses me most about Alex and other free soloists isn't so much their ability to keep their head together while climbing, but their ability to keep their head together while lying awake in bed at night, thinking about what they just did, and what they plan to do again tomorrow.

Had their positions been reversed, Steve Jobs would have been doing the exact same thing in the software industry.

You can look at Apple's behavior in spaces where they dominate to see that. Or are we expecting that they will open the floodgates tomorrow and allow additional app stores on the iPhone? And the only reason they haven't locked down their desktop operating system as tightly as their mobile operating system is users have expectations of how open a desktop should be to running what software they choose... Expectations largely established by the Microsoft ecosystem and the alternative it would offer if Apple tried to seal things up.

For some reason, when Apple does it, people think it's pro-consumer, and when Microsoft does it, it's anti-competitive. The legendary reality distortion field effect of Apple's CEO seems to have outlived him.
USSR was a blasphemy because of it's communist nature. It was an abomination born in blood.

Parent of two long-time Montessori kids here. We have been through both public and private Montessori schools. Unfortunately, the public one did not work out because they were heavily constrained by the district's requirements, so the Montessori aspects were very watered down.

What I like about Montessori is that if a child finds a "work" that interests them, they can really focus in on it until mastery instead of feeling pressured to follow a specific curriculum on a specific timeline. I also like the de-emphasis on grades and testing. These are distractions from learning IMO. As for academic progress, one of my kids picks things up early and the other picks things up late. It just depends on the child. We aren't yet to high school, so I can speak to that transition. I'd be lying if I said it didn't worry me a little, though, mostly because I think of high school as a stressful place and my kids are currently in a very low-stress place.
>I actually believe steve jobs when he says microsoft held back computer development by decades potentially.

This doesn't seem plausible to me. Decades is a lot even when accounting for compounding growth and some of their more questionable practices. They've also surely fueled a lot of resources into development, and I'm not sure if a different company would have definitely acquired as much money to be able to use in the first place. I also don't really see Apple as a beacon of light in comparison.

But then again, I also think that modern Gates is a huge force for good in the world, and a good role model for other rich people. As for Melinda, she also seems great but from what I'm seeing she focuses on less effective causes and I suspect her money will overall help the world a bit less (which is her right of course) than if they were in his hands.
Do you have references for there being far more evidence of fraud than against it in the US 2020 presidential election? From what I've seen there have been a large number of recounts and reviews in battleground states, including recounts carried out by the republican party, none of which have found evidence of substantial fraud.

What fire said.

Also I have hardly any idea about how India or e.g. Japan stand wrt. crypto currencies.

But probably they do want a strong control about their own money.

More or less any stable country wants that and would only give that up for major benefits (like joining the European trade Zone).

Though one think important to realize is that most crypto currencies are not currencies but securities. The reason for it is that they (especially BitCoin) fail some of the major aspects of a well working currency. Like it MUST NOT be deflationary (main point!), must be cheap to move (for companies at least), must have ways to constraint money laundering (which excludes full anonymity), must be as stable as possible, and other points.

Crypto "currencies" are more like securities, like stocks. But not backed by any real world value and mostly unregulated and 100% a bubble (question is how big).

Unregulated (and partial unregulateable), non-real world value backed, inflated stock should ring alarm bells, which is why I expect more regulations in the future.

Regulations which likely also "accidentally" will hinder (or even outright prevent) crypto currencies which actually act like currencies as long as they are not state backed.
Well, that does make engineers difficult to manage. But more importantly, engineers don't need that much management. They need managers to take all the organisational stuff out of the way, and make the way clear for engineers to do their thing. Make sure they have access to the requirements, feedback from users, and whatever else the engineers say they need. Do check if things are running smoothly and in the right direction, but if something is broken, give the engineers the tools to fix it, because that's what they do.
They're pretty similar concepts. Either way, they're administering drugs to affect health.

No matter how much I consider Trump a dimwit liar, I can't completely shake off the other explanation, that of yesmen telling him whatever they thought he would like to hear. I suspect that in a position like that, even making up falsehoods is conveniently delegated. You don't lie, you just select convenient sources to parrot. Putin must have spent recent years in an even worse yesmen-bubble, the shift from him being considered dangerously competent to him being considered dangerously senile should really not come as surprising as it does.
This! Ruined my ears with a combination of loving dancing against speakers, always having my headphones at max volume, and a few ear infections.

Tinnitus was keeping me awake at night, and like others said it made it hard for me to follow conversations in pubs/bars/busy places..

Then one day I read about the massive artery next to your ear, which you cannot hear (OK sometime you can when you are running or have a pounding headache) but the realisation that this sound was always there but you don't hear it, was amazing for me.

Within a week I'd largely tuned it out. It is still there and if I think about it I can always hear it. But it no longer upsets me and is just a thing and not an issue for me.
> There was this part where the doctors claim (paraphrasing) his brain is unique in that he is much less afraid of danger than us.

I'm very skeptical of that claim. It seems just as reasonable that he has a perfectly normal brain that is exactly as afraid of things as the rest of ours, but he's spent a lot of time doing terrifying things and has learned to suppress how his body reacts to it.
He literally said what he preferred:

> I generally prefer people not to steal and undermine society in the first place.
I think she was complacent or at least had no opinion of it until the case blew up. Did she ever tell him not to hang out with Epstein anymore and he refused? It's an easy narrative for her to give now, but I don't buy it.

I am disappointed in Bill. I am actually a beneficiary of their scholarship, for college. At the same time, I think this is Melinda playing the blame game.
Not all great people are assholes.

"It's nice to be important, but it's important to be nice."
The first chance Steve Jobs had to do so, he wrested control of computer software from the users and developers, and forced his company in as a middle-man taking a 30% cut from all software sold on their platform. Nice.

I think Apple coming out on top would have been worse for computer software and development.
A little story from the past (or how Bill Gates saved me)
> do Tihju Okean

Every day is a school day. As a middling Czech speaker I wondered WTF this was until I did a bit of googling to find out I didn't know the name of the world's largest ocean in Czech :D I was thinking "what on earth is the 'quiet ocean'?" ("tichý" = "quiet")
Russians' patience is maddening really. Soviet generations would accept anything the government throws at them and say thanks. They view the government like the weather: you have to just accept it but don't you dare try to change or even understand anything about it. Many Soviet people have no idea who runs their city district for example. They don't know that they can have the government serve them and be accountable to them, so it naturally evolves away from serving them, instead serving its own interests. Like territorial expansion for its own sake.

Americans, from what I see, are quite different. There's actually fierce competition both on elections and when controversial bills are discussed. There are representatives that do legit represent people's interests (but also some that do not). US government has its own share of problems ("lobbying" aka legalized bribery being one), but it's still better than the dictatorship we have.
He will lose in many respects, but even so, Moscow and St. Petersburg are not going to be radioactive craters. All evidence suggests he wants to be remembered as a Russian hero. I think he is intelligent enough to know that bringing nuclear destruction on Russia will not put him in that category. And it's not possible for him to act alone anyway. Worth noting that the two people in human history who have acted to stop a nuclear catastrophe were both Russian soldiers: Stanislav Petrov and Vasili Arkhipov.
No union can force you to join it, same as no company can force you to work for it.

Container signing: Why not use blockchain?
But the thing is so many things are mighty inconvenient to do in C. Every large program in C has to build up lots of fundamental infrastructure like a library of data structures, and mechanisms for error handling.
Why should one use C and spend a lot time on building a basic platform, rather than spending time, effort and creativity on the core concerns.

Not to mention the chances of so many things to go wrong, in writing C code. Its like climbing a mountain without a safety gear.
You're literally arguing the same points I made:

+ It's not the fission material that explodes (like in a bomb)

+ The explosion is relatively small

+ Radiation is then dispersed to the wider area via atmospheric or tidal conditions (like smoke drifting) rather than as a direct result of the explosion

All points I was making too.

> but the consequences can still be catastrophic and as at Chernobyl the fallout can be similar to that from a nuclear weapon

I never said there wouldn't be radioactive fallout nor that it wouldn't be catastrophic. I said it's a slower risk (days rather than seconds), easier to contain (relatively speaking) and it wouldn't take out half of Europe.

You're not actually disagreeing with anything I've stated despite phrasing your comment as if it were a correction.

Chernobyl was caused by several days of mismanagement. It wasn't something that happened over night. Fukushima took more than 24 hours after the tsunami for the first hydrogen explosion and the others were several days later. And it was a week after the tsunami before the situation escalated into a meltdown too.

To be clear: I'm not saying waging a fight inside a nuclear power station isn't a dangerous and stupid thing to do. What I'm saying is it's not comparable to a nuke exploding.
But not all civilians bear arms so not all are considered militia thus they can't "surrender"

Its because all you hear are the negative stories. As an EM my job is to shield the team from BS, give them what they need to get work done, stay out of their way and not to complain to them either about the BS that is circulating.

To an employee, a good manager kinda makes it feel like everything would be fine with the manager not there. And a good team could probably operate without a manager for a while. Until it comes time to write reviews or do other HR related things like filtering resumes, etc.

The best engineering managers I've had trusted their engineers. I think that's the most important part, and that's the part that some managers are bad at.

So if you really want to promote an engineer to management, don't promote the engineers who knows everything and does everything, because they're going to micromanage everybody. Promote the engineer that asks a lot and listens a lot.
>> Understand the horseshoe, and you can get a handle on chaos itself.

Profound quote for the day.
Case in point, malloc() is impossible to implement in ISO C, it is either done in Assembly, or requires language extensions.

Unless we are speaking about the very niche use case of allocating a big blob of static memory on the global segment.

Most of the stuff done with ISO C + language extensions/external Assembly, can be as easily done in safer languages.

Language extensions and external Assembly aren't a C priviledge.

Their positions weren't reversed, and you don't know, and Jobs always hated the way Bill did business so you don't know that.

For a start, apple builds products that every single consumer made a choice to buy. And over 50% of them still choose android.

Bill gates went above almost all consumer's heads and sold windows to governments and big corporations, and then bundled their own software with it. It's part of the reason why the UX of windows was always so bad, because the end user wasn't making purchase decisions.

So no, I don't agree. Jobs hasn't been leading Apple for a long time. You don't know what he would have done, other than that he likes closed garden products. That's a long way from the anticompetitive behaviour that microsoft did over the years.

And again, window was like 95% of the market at it's peak. Apple is nowhere near that.

We are not used to reading 'h' as 'ch' and 'c' as 'k'.
Yeah you're right, I'm not respecting the quote-quoting rule in this example, though IIRC I did in at least one of the actual uses.

ndjson has the disadvantage of repeating column names for every record, which, granted, is basically fine if you are using compression, but sometimes for whatever reason you can't.
Conversely, once in about 6 months people call me to debug a "strange crash" and it turns out it's because they used a c-style cast, when using static_cast would have resulted in a clear compiler error.

To be clear, this is in a code written by people who are not exactly professional programmers, but rather a mix between support/integration personnel. They are responsible however for some rather basic glue code which I pull from them.

They are an interesting mix between real old timers who only know C well, and young people who only learned about Java and Python, with only a minimal background in C. Both of groups sort of "feel their way" around C++ code. Luckily I catch most of their mistakes during code reviews.

I try to educate them every time that they should use static_cast. Yes, I say, it's ugly and hard to type, that's true. But you will get an error during compilation, and you won't crash, and I won't have to go to your computer to debug your crash.

Most US states pay more than $1200 per child per month.

Somehow, these private schools offer better education for less money than that.

Let them take that money to the place where they learn the best. I’d bet teachers would be paid better and bad teachers would be removed much more quickly. I’d also conjecture that teachers would enjoy their jobs much more
Nope, that was surprisingly someone else.

Then feel free to disagree.

> then the more the people try to climb the social ladder to become the powerful.

This happens with people who are deeply insecure. They need to climb the ladder to secure themselves. Greed, power greed, malice comes from insecurity.

If you grow up in a world where everyone is respected and everyone feels secure, your parents didn't hurt you, you were not bullied at school, etc., then the only reason for you to strive to secure yourself at the expense of others is if you have grounds to believe others have such issues and will take advantage of you.

> Ideally, on a fair system, you are respected because of your skills or your contributions to society

No. You are respected. Period. Everyone is.

As an aside, capitalism does not make a statement what you should or should not be respected for. We are arguing about something else.

This does not imply that dogs have a theory of mind.

It could simply be mimicry and behaviourism.

It is notoriously difficult to distinguish between behaviouristic arguments and more involved, theory of mind ones.

Consider the anecdote where a dog was forbidden into the living room. After a while, while the owner was reading his newspaper, the dog appeared at his feet. Surprised, he ordered the dog out and then observed it sneaking inside while walking on its heels, since the tapping of the dog's nails on the floor was what alerted him to the dog's entrance.

Did the dog explicitly think that, hey, it must be the sound of my nails on the hard floor that alerts his attention ?

Or did the dog through a semi-random trial and error saw that when it was walking on its heels, the owners attention was not provoked, thus started doing that ?
