Hey all - creator here. It looks like next page of results does not work currently because wrong query param (should be "q" instead of "topics"). Easy enough to manually change if you need it.

As a few of you noticed, narrow searches do not work very well because this is not a general web search engine and has a tiny index compared to Google. Use Teclis to discover more about a broader topic you are interested in and to discover writing from 'clean' websites on the web.

Looking forward to feedback to improve!

GP is not talking about the nurse which got it wrong, by accident, but about those that clearly are going to have difficulty doing the job properly. There's more to a job than cramming info.

Are you trying to tell me, if you were a teacher, and you were to pass or fail a student who you knew would end up unable to perform, you'd just say "Oh well, hope they get better!", and pass them?

I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here. I think you've misread the GP's statement.
Nowhere in my original comment or the GP’s response is anyone being accused of antisemitism. Lots of people reference the blood libel without realizing that it’s an antisemitic canard; the object of the comment is to educate rather than shame.
Although I expect the law of diminishing returns to kick in with regard to commissions eventually, I expect it to be made up in other ways.

Its a whole second decade of crypto exchanges and traditional finance (tradfi) exchanges still dont have REST APIs or anything remotely close to free or accessible for programmatic trading, while crypto exchanges have always had that for free right out the gate.

Every day they have 3x as many trading sessions as tradfi exchanges.

And thats even before we start talking about selling the data, the international customer set, unilateral discretion in listing anything with a community of potential traders, using company treasury (or customer deposits) in DeFi products for passive yield, and more.
I waited entirely too long to get settled. I didn't really understand the value of "home" until my thirties.

I used to be a hardcore "minimalist" throughout my twenties and into my early thirties. I didn't want to own anything at all, didn't want to have objects or things that I'd have to move, that could tie me down to a space or place. I didn't want to have to fix or maintain anything.

In my thirties, I realized that all of the spaces I had lived in were cold, unwelcoming, aesthetically anemic. It didn't look like anyone "lived" there. At 35, I started buying things I wanted to keep forever: bookshelves, living and dining furniture, rugs, art. I spent good money on "stuff" that I liked, things that I want to experience and live with every day. I purchased decent picture frames and hung photos of my family for the first time.

I also spent a lot of time setting up my living space for other people, not just for me. I could invite family over and they could stay comfortably for weeks at a time. If a friend needed to quickly get out of a tricky situation, I had a spare room ready to go. If I wanted to host a small dinner, it could happen at my place, instead of a friends house where a bunch of grown-ass adults are sitting on five-gallon buckets and yard chairs around a folding table.

All of this had a strong, positive affect on my day-to-day disposition. It made me more open to others, more willing to embrace hospitality as a mode of living. I'm less stressed about having people over because my place is actually a place people want to be, and that feels great.

It's difficult to put this into words, but for the twenty-somethings who are reading this: whether you are renting or owning, don't be afraid to settle. Buy nice stuff when you can afford it, take care of it, plan to keep it forever. Set your space up to support you and the people in your life.

> What war are you talking about? Albright and the Democratic Party were not in power in either 1991 or 2002, the two invasions in Iraq.

They were in power when they sanctioned and starved millions of innocent iraqis after the war. You know the "silent war". Hundreds of thousands of iraqi children starved to death - something she said was worth it. Not someone people should be defending but everyone has their supporters I guess.
> I'd like to know how that differs from just plain income? The more money you make, the easier it is to keep clean credit. But it also gives you more control over driving to let you be a safer driver.

Basically credit score is a measure of how you manage debt, which is easier with higher income, of course. An edge case I myself recently run into is that having no debt would lower your score, as having no debt provides no evidence of how well you can manage it.

As with most things, I think it's a balance. A complete desensitization to rejection also implies an inability to regulate your social behavior, which in turn is a great way to get ostracized. The best hard-salesmen are also some of the most insufferable individuals, precisely because they can't take a hint.
> let's focus on lowering that percent

A noble position but it seems to have been going other way unfortunately. Not sure how you would do that … further regulation or introducing artificial competition in the market. I think the most pro-business approach is to quash the monopoly and open up the market.
Or more realistically they'll lower prices.

I could see the benefits of having a spiritual community around you, but, like, how do you convince yourself that supernatural things like gods exist? There's just very little tangible or logical there. Or would it be worth it to participate without really believing? Or you just somehow start believing? Frankly, for me doing that would probably be comparable to asking you to convert to Hinduism or something similar. Stability and fulfilment sound good tho.

> To the people who think the exorbitant fees are okay: Imagine a world with no cash. Now the payment card companies decide they want 30% of all transactions. You think that would be reasonable?

Since we are heading to a world with no cash, what's stopping the card companies from doing that after there's no way back? This is why I use cash as much as possible - to delay that day.

I guess 9/11 was a just direct consequence of the US government's cruelty and intransigence given that OBL's stated reason for the attacks were the sanctions. That's a hot take, not one you'd want to say out loud around NYC.

In any case, performing literal siege against a group -- exclusively chosen for political reasons -- and then blaming powerless besieged people for their own suffering is a special type of reasoning that only seems to pop up whenever brown people are mentioned.

We often joke that ``the cloud is just someone else' computer,'' but that's not entirely accurate, because it's not just one computer, it's a network of computers, allowing the processes on it to continue running regardless of the status of any individual piece of hardware, or any single OS.

To throw everything on a single Raspberry Pi isn't really a cloud, even though it's offering cloud-like services.

Depends on how its shared... but... if you pull up https://app.diagrams.net

Do an 'Open from' > 'URL...' and paste in http://shagie.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Untitled-Diagra... (an example diagram I made several years ago) - its a png itself and you can open that up as a png, but I also exported it with the drawing embedded.

So when you open that up in the app, you'll get the drawing - not the raster version.

Also consider that I created that png 7 years ago - other drawing document formats have been less stable over that timeframe. I'm quite impressed with it.
My bad - I noticed that the screen becomes brighter than it is possible to manually set it to when it's in harsh sunlight, so I assumed that this was a result of it increasing the SDR brightness limit past 500 nits, I didn't know that such conditions were required merely to push it to 500 nits. Thanks for the info!
Yeah I tried self hosting everything. Getting it actually running is the easiest part. Its the maintenance, backups, and security that are 90% of the job. You can get it working pretty easily and forget about it and it will run for a while until something goes wrong or it needs to be upgraded.

Now I'd rather leave hosting to a someone dedicated to it who has internalized the latest state of things for all the relevant bits of software and is constantly keeping this knowledge in their brain. Set and forget self hosting can't work in the current environment we have where things require constant security updates and complex security hardening.
Would it or does it? In fairness, I used to write like this too.

If the theory endorses selfish deceptions then its not worth adherence. If it doesn't endorse them, then it doesn't support the practice in the article, and its not worth discussing here.
It just doesn't make sense to replace the chain. They are incredibly efficient, cheap and reliable. Most of the issues with chain drives are due to improper maintenance on sport bikes. Modern bikes have 10 or more gears in their cassette, which means the chain has to be very skinny and shifting needs to be very precise.

On the other hand, a dutch style bike with a wide 1/8" chain and an internally geared hub instead of a derailleur is much more reliable and requires very little maintenance. Even an older derailleur bike with friction shifters and fewer gears will be very reliable.
I don't think that every single human should be required to be heavily specialized just to earn a livable wage, that's ridiculous
I was really only using it while staying with family and friends where I was always able to use an old monitor or a tiny "bedroom/kitchen" TV, but a hotel TV would be fine too (I'm assuming ports aren't blocked). I brought a Logitech K400 which is small, wireless, and has a builtin trackpad. Was also only using it for programming and basic web browsing. I don't recommend the keyboard (keys are a bit wobbly, some odd key positioning and shapes, definitely takes some getting used to, and the trackpad is relatively poor), but I just wanted something I could use for an hour or two a day, and it was perfectly acceptable for that. If I had to use it for a few more hours, I'd just bring a proper keyboard and mouse (weight permitting).

I was confident I'd be fine though, I set it up in advance and used it briefly on the couch with a tiny monitor for about a week.

I strongly recommend taking advantage of the USB HDD boot that's now supported on Pi 4 -- even some 15 year old 60GB spinning platter you have lying around from a long dead laptop is in my experience going to be faster than an SD card. USB3 to SATA connectors are cheap and reliable.

The reason I did it was just trying not to be wasteful. My laptop died and I have no problem getting a new one, but I'm pretty sure I'll need a new one in a year for work -- the problem is I won't know the specifications (even OS, architecture, etc.) that I'll need until then, so I just wanted to see if I could get away without having to guess in advance. Generally I like to buy only when I need to, and to buy the best thing available at that time (within reason), and use that for a long time.
You can simply build it on Linux and test (you can use it without packaging anything). It's separate from kernel drivers.

Configuring the build with Meson might look a bit intimidating, but you can find examples by checking how distros configure it.

For example on Debian you can see this in the build log:

Federal student loans are a major driver behind increases in college tuition costs (1). Like you say, debt isn't necessarily bad - but there's a strong argument that subsidized debt and the lack of risk in granting loans just gives a bigger pool money for institutions to take from.

Point being, federal loans are not a good deal. Each dollar you borrow effectively increases your tuition by 60 cents.

on the other hand, the time cost of a bachelor's in CS is much higher than that of an 8 month (?) bootcamp. four years is a long time to spend treading water wrt employable skills.

I do feel that the degree is better long-term if it's at all possible. but that's not realistic for everyone. if at the end of the bootcamp you get a decent job that you wouldn't have otherwise, that seems like a good deal. if not, you're out a lot less money and time than flunking out of undergrad halfway through.
Choice is the real thing though more than actual value add. I feel like I see it less now, but recall seeing how vendors would only accept certain cards and not others (frequently, not American Express) which was as far as I know stemming mostly from higher fees they didn't want to pay. Similarly, places would not accept credit cards at all if they had razor margins and didn't want to eat the fee. I still know of a few places like that, often with an ATM near by so the customer can pay a fee if they are caught unaware.

That was the thing though, a business could decline to accept particular cards or cards at all and still perform transactions. That "opportunity" has generally not extended to the app store world in a practical way. If you want to play, they had their cut and customers and vendors didn't have a whole lot of say in what was reasonable. There is no simple default transaction (like cash) that they were trying to out compete.

Oh, my apologies! Yes, that makes sense.
I got sick with a serious illness when I was 34. So I was super glad that I'd followed my crazy dreams of a career in the arts in my late 20's / early 30's. Sure, in retrospect I also wish I'd had better health insurance....but when your life turns upside down and your body can't do what it once did, it's nice to know you didn't put off the most important things to you for "later."

Nowadays with everything that's going on, I think it's doubly true. A lot of folks think they'll write / paint / do music 'once they retire.' Not everyone has the ability to give up their day jobs, but...do your passion at least a little bit now, while your body can still do it.
Orthodoxy definitely takes a different approach than just accepting a proposition. I was a staunch atheist for many years, after having grown up Mormon. I was bitter and felt betrayed as I fell away from Mormonism. Here's what changed for me: I realized that the Christianity I had been a part of was still rooted in the Enlightenment and in empiricism. It tries to prove itself to be legitimate and relevant by trying to use archeology or science to verify the Bible. It's completely backwards and futile.

I listened to the Bible lectures that Jordan Peterson made several years ago, and I was intrigued because I had never heard anyone putting aside the historical story of the Bible and instead focusing on its relevance from a neuroscience point of view. This led to me eventually finding the work of Jonathan Pageau. He's an Orthodox icon carver, and he talks about the traditional worldview, how to understand the Bible from an ontological point of view (a hierarchy of being) rather than from a "scientific" or empirical point of view. It took a year or two before I really started to understand what he even meant, but once I started to understand that way of looking at the world, my whole world changed and I quickly joined the Orthodox Church.

To be more specific, I would recommend finding an Orthodox Church local to you, and just go see what it's like. Introduce yourself to the priest after the service, and he would be happy to talk with you and helping you begin to see the Orthodox way of life. The Orthodox approach focuses much more on your relationship with God, rather than a list of checkboxes of do's and don't-dos. It's very participatory. It demands a lot from the followers, but the sense of meaning, being, and purpose that have replaced my old sense of nihilism, meaninglessness, and despair...I can't even put into words how much my life has changed.
It was a finger-wagging, needlessly deflecting type of 'education' that had no real relevance to the actual topic at hand. No-one was discussing his monstrous behavior in terms of his Jewishness.
Heh, sure, not forever, but the cold war ended after the last collapse, certainly looks like Russia is headed towards another one.

Sure Putin could catch a clue and announce that with the resistance, sanctions, inflow of weapons/goods into Ukraine, and world condemnation it isn't worth it. Withdraw all troops, and promise to be good the sanctions would end quickly, GDP/Trade would pick up, and the ruble would gain most of what it lost. Seems unlikely though. The weird thing is it's something like 10x as costly in lives/equipment as previous decade ish long invasions Russia has had, but they don't seem to be adapting.

Does seem like with complete control of the media they could say something like "We killed ever last Nazi and stopped the genocide in the Ukraine and have come home victorius.
That seems highly unlikely.

I would say that the debate over transgender rights (bathrooms, etc) is in a similar cultural position to gay marriage a few years ago (i.e. liberals are fine with it, centrists are coming round to the idea and hardline conservatives are having a "moral panic"), yet no one is being silenced there.

I'm pointing out that it takes only one of your friends or acquaintances to add your real mobile number to their address book alongside

I said I don't give my mobile number out. Do you believe my friends work diligently to find this number out? And how would they get it? And why do you believe they would get it so easily.

I don't even know my number without looking in 'about phone'.

Your scheme requires you to have perfect OpSec 100% of the time. Just human nature says you've probably goofed and given out your mobile number once or twice.

I don't understand why you think I would do that? Or how it would happen by accident.

When someone asks my number, why would I give a number I never do, instead of the number I always do. Why would I even memorize my real number? I really don't understand why you think this is hard, tricky.

Or think it is a "scheme".
