This seems to be a prevailing view of Twitter as a newpaper replacement or for political discourse.

For the sake of it, Twitter as a tool has many other uses:

There's a ton of illustrators and photographers that post their work on Twitter, it's an excellent alternative to Instagram in that respect, in particular for those who don't want to deal with Facebook/Meta.

Blocking an artist who's work you don't like isn't creating any nocive filter bubble, you get in exchange a timeline of nice pics that make you happy.

I think a lot of people want to have political discourse and interact with the news events of the world, and desperately look for a place to do it. I'd wager any tool/platform that is chosen for that will very fast look like a cesspool of nastiness. People who feel Twitter is crushing their life should rethink what they're looking for in Twitter, and follow, I don't know, @hourlywolvesbot ?
> I think that blocking people just ends up giving them the satisfaction that they had this power over you

I think you're overthinking it. Unless you're a known person who interacted with them meaningfully before, they won't even know you blocked them. If you're just blocking to clean your timeline, you're the only one who will see the effects.
To my knowledge, the Bohai Sea (the large bay between Beijing and North Korea basically) does freeze.
Seems like a problem that solves itself?
Very nice! I've built a couple recipe sites along the years and ingredients are so tricky to get right (I don't think I've ever got them right once...). It seems easy at first, but then once you get into the weeds of "a pinch of salt" (what's the quantity of that?) or "onions, chopped to 3cm", sometimes I'm like "ok, let's just make ingredients an array of strings"

Some people don't like a comfortable sterile life
This is such a horrible case of an absolute hubris. For some reason I’m not surprised at the University of Pennsylvania would so aggressively attack, under mine, and just plain be mean to one of its students. And this really makes me lose all respect for the Rhodes Scholar program.

Thanks, yes, I talked with their new director about a month ago about hiring some of their people. Lin I believe. If you're Lin you might know who I am. Small newish program (~30 admissions per year) with TC presence but turning out people with actual skills.

Put yourself in my shoes. It's great that my kid got some college credit in high school but MN is not a great place to raise a family anymore nor is it safe or .... "Quality of life" isn't really a thing like it was.

And you see this from all sort of people here. Lots of people who grew up here are sick of it and want to leave or are in process of leaving.

For where I'm not sure.

Reflecting back on my own attitude and performance in schools, I was just an underachiever who wanted more but refusing to put in the work. Now that I am an adult I can tell you what got me into this thinking and it was because of ego and unrealistic expectations that I built for myself based on what I was told.

"You have a high IQ, you are smart, you are intelligent, you don't study and you do well etc"

I let it get to my head and instead of growing, instead of recognizing what I didn't know, I focused on what I knew. Pride and ego. For a while it worked so I had no reason to doubt it. But when the sheer work load got to a point where effective time management, strong and consistent work ethic were required I couldn't pull it off.

its a downward spiral, you are not used to putting in effort and seeing good results. that is setting you up for failure.

now? people who do well on tests, who do well in school, are completely deserving because they put in the work and patience.

same with success, its not a matter of rolling dice but focus and it requires:

- knowing what i dont know

- effort & work

Yes there are really smart people out there who could really benefit from the above but many do not like to admit it. I do and now I take the time and effort to know what I don't know. This has nothing to do with race or equity but more to do with your attitude. Yes it can be influenced by our surroundings and events but everyday we get up and make the choice to believe or not believe what we don't know and know.

Having said that if you realize you are unconventional, realize why that is, because an unconventional path is riddled with false paths, pain and require faith. If you are conventional you need to rely less on faith and it is why many try to get others to follow it because it is less risky.
I'm not against standardized tests. What I am against is a test ran by a private company as a barrier of entry into a public institution. Private schools who want to require SAT/ACT, fine, they are private institutions, I see no issue them requiring a test administered by a private company. University of North Carolina, eh, can't we have a test ran by a public institution as a barrier of entry into a public institution?
I have been using this for the last year or so, I was surprised finding out that it's not a standard feature of other IDE/editors.

Intellij doesn't support this and they are releasing a new development editor designed to offload compilation to their own build servers.

Yes. And to go further, discuss what you read with your friends and family: "Hey, did you hear about X? What did you think of it?". There is a high chance that at least some of these people have a different perspective, and there's a high chance some can bring a new perspective.

Disagreement is fundamentally healthy, as long as all parties hold their beliefs in good faith. It's much easier to hold a bad faith discussion on the internet than in person.
Even a small change in average daily activity can account for a large difference. If you cut your total daily energy expenditure by just 50 kcal (the equivalent of walking less than a mile) while keeping intake the same then you can gain up to 5 lb in one year. Add that up over a few years and suddenly you're obese.
Twitter has lists for exactly this purpose
I'm a 5th-generation white American with no interest in sports, band, or choir... and many of my Indian and east Asian first-generation high-school friends and I participated in activities like math club, knowledge bowl, science olympiad, etc etc.

Just because they aren't participating in YOUR extra-curricular activities doesn't mean they aren't engaged.
Please don't read the news paper; it's editorialized thought vomit without a shred of skeptical empiricism. The news industry might just be the most potent industry for willfully manufacturing confirmation bias among the masses.

But it does track the relative allocation of resources between all parties, which is all you need to grow food, etc. (and yes, that balance can be changed by printing money, but again, it is simply changing the relative allocations). Communities cannot really keep track of how many plots of land that Corporation X has bought, especially if they are a national establishment buying plots all over the country. You would have to have a distributed mechanism for tracking that, which would somehow involve each district protecting its own data sources very carefully. Luckily, people already carefully guard a data source: dollars. So we don't need this.

Of course we should focus on morals and value. But value is something that cannot be measured accurately using any real world metric, so we only have approximations, of which money is one. As for morals, I'm not sure where you got the idea I said we shouldn't focus on them. One moral I have is that keeping people alive is good, and in the industrialized world, money is the only way to do that, whether you earn it or steal it.
Electricity Demand Response / Micro Grids. Right now, most electrical systems, even internet connected ones, don't have any awareness of electrical supply and demand. Most of the grid is designed for power to flow one direction.

As we bring more intermittent power supplies onto the grid, things get harder. The batteries in electric cars are a small, but growing storage capacity that currently can't flow "backwards". Hardware will be a large part of this, but software will be needed too.
I fundamentally disagree with this premise.

Electric is the future. Everything can be electric AND good.

Bought a house a year ago. The house (oddly enough) had a huge propane tank out back wired exclusively for the two stoves.. in addition to oil heat. So, when I moved in, my house had oil, propane, and electric service. No gas line. (Eastern Massachusetts, so, winter low temps around 0F but rarely below 5F).

My propane tank emptied after a month and the company said the tank itself was at end of life. A new tank would not be cheap. So I decided to cut the cord and replace my two stoves with electric ones.. and they’re awesome! I don’t think they’re quite as good as gas, but I can boil water in minutes, and I won’t blow my house up. The safety trade off is worth the reduced responsiveness.

Heat- installed a heat pump and it’s WAY better than the oil heat radiators. So much quieter and I can control each room independently. I like my office at 72, my wife at 68, that’s completely doable. Oh, and I’m saving a fortune on oil, plus I get air conditioning.

This isn't a bad thing if you're use of Twitter is not to get life critical news and political debates.

I don't think getting isolated from Rabbit breeders to dwelve in a lazy cat pictures bubble is something to lament about.
Serious question: how do you get caught if you sell these secrets in the black market?
The idea behind it is to let the rich become even richer... and then tax them more. It benefits VCs over all, because it lets everyone take super high risks but isn't paid out of some seed investor's pocket. Seed stage VCs like Y Combinator and 500 Startups have used the model pretty well, it's just trying to scale it to more people.

Inflation is a whole other story, but it's controlled by the federal reserve. Generally the goal of the Fed is to keep unemployment low and prevent recessions. Inflation is a tool. Economy isn't about gold or cash or value of that cash; it's about GDP and political stability. When inflation increases, people spend money rather than storing it, fueling more growth. When growth is healthy, they bring inflation back down to close to 0%. So the Fed can stimulate the economy by printing more money. Inflation hurts, but it's all on purpose, a stick that predictably move the donkeys.

UBI... makes the concept of unemployment weird, but it serves the purpose of making things more stable.
The fact that Monero is still not listed on Coinbase tells you everything you need to know about the US stance on true "privacy protecting" assets.

In any case, it wouldn't fully replace the dollar despite the contemporary discussion of a cashless society - this disenfranchises lower income groups and honestly I would be surprised if we completely move away from cash entirely within my lifetime.
It's because they don't want their children to lose their indian culture, despite raising them in a foreign country. When your in india, you don't have to worry about that.
I think that this is larger and more intensive than the Yemen war - it seems that already in this month the combatants in Ukraine have had as much or more casualties than all the years of Yemen war; Yemen has had 15000 civilians directly killed by war but I think Mariupol alone will see that much when the fighting ends and bodies are dug out of the rubble, if we look at displaced persons, Wikipedia states that Yemen has displaced 4 million but this conflict has already displaced 10 million, etc.

The last weeks in Ukraine have seen more damage than Yemen-like conflicts had on their worse year, the Russian invasion firepower is simply on a different scale than what Yemen or Houthi forces could muster. The intensity of this war, as a mass full scale industrial land war, actually is unusually large.
But the economic award is just the cost of a more correct market price and it happens all the time.

For example a mask manufacturer. They might have a relative in China who shares information about the outbreak of a new virus. Manufacturer uses this completely legal information to produce a ton of masks and makes record profits off the sales because they're right. But the public benefits as well because there are actually masks to purchase.

And another example are whistleblower payments. We have no problem giving whistleblowers millions of dollars for uncovering fraud because the cost is far lower than the benefit.
I think blocking anyone who liked it also may be a bit harsh. Maybe "mute" them for a few days instead and if they're repeat bad actors then block.

There are a lot of things. I'm actually searching out more and more refined pathways to joy each day. One specific thing that has been filling me with joy at the moment is listening to Debussy and then watching videos of art in fast forward. The combo is really something, and it got me through a very painful moment this summer. Before that, my muse was searching out videos of people walking around in tourist attractions (also in fast forward). But so many things bring me joy. Most of all creating music gives me joy, but also listening to music gives me joy. One unexpected source of joy is from the genre of music called "hash noise". It's an acquired taste, but I have a theory that listening to it opens new synapses in my mind. If you look at nature, noise can be found everywhere. Think of how relaxing the sound of waves crashing on the beach sound. That's noise. I could go on though, religion, science, reading about hardware and the occult. I think joy and meaning is, perhaps, shattered into a million pieces and you can find it almost everywhere, even in places that you would never imagine, like reaching your lowest points in life or even on websites that people think are wrong. My new goal is "Praxis", which I might define as the joy of living a very conventional life. This will be new for me, but I suspect it's a necessary step in my own personal journey.
What if I’m not shadowbanned but the only person who isn’t?!?
You could've googled that pretty easily and found out in less time it took you to write that comment.
I agree.

To be blunt. You can look at life expectancy for black and white americicans. Whites live longer. Measuring the difference is not systemic racism. We should not avoid measurements for this reasons.

Some minorities perform worse on SAT. This is a fact. SAT predicts performance in college, this is also a fact.

The question becomes, how do we select college students. Those most likely to succeed, or other values.
This past week I setup an e-ink display using a 32” screen from Visionect. It displays the front page of the New York Times (setup by following this guide [1]).

The compliments from friends/family have been insane. It looks like I cut out the page and put it on the wall. Unfortunately the Visionect solution is fairly cost prohibitive and seems like ArtFrame is in the similar price ballpark.

You are assuming the effects of wealth stop at the SAT.
> I work in billing software for a publicly traded software company and this is a constant temptation. I'm never gonna do it because I'm not gonna blow up my career for a relative pittance, but I can't tell you how many times I've been annoyed that I couldn't act on private information and make ~$100k or so.

> These guys are like the kids who saw the Tide Pod challenges and decided to actually eat the pods. I bet insider trading is not as fun when you're unemployed and bankrupt.

And in jail.
You are bartering your value to the organization and getting less in return. That's the definition of getting fucked.

If you want to start your own company then you are fucking other people. In either situation, somebody is getting fucked.

Iowa State is a good school, I went there and ended up at Amazon and then Microsoft. The engineering programs are pretty decent and have good student outcomes, I don’t see how going to Iowa State would be disastrous for your son’s future.

I got it from Wikipedia: "The Dawn spacecraft broke the record, with a velocity change of 11.5 km/s (41,000 km/h), though it was only half as efficient, requiring 425 kg (937 lb) of xenon."

I rounded up to one ton, since we're only trying to figure out order of magnitude.
I often wonder how valuable a public block list might be and even if more valuable than a follower/following list. In this case as in many other cases there is probably more insight to be gained in silent evidence than in positive evidence.

Those cases are few and far between for me - usually limited to catching flights and my laptop can be used locally as a back up.

You can also dockerize your workloads and use an environment variable to use your ssh remote as the docker machine.

Catching a train home from the office and using a lightweight, cool to the touch, thin laptop that is offloading commands via 4g to my desktop PC with 24 cores such that I can't tell that workloads are not running locally is such a fantastic development experience.

Sure I need to be always online on 1 extra device, but the second connection can be significantly lower bandwidth while the server will access things over a hardwired 100 megabit connection.

Matt Levine wrote some good articles on how people get busted.

The main point is you can't buy or sell securities without identifying yourself. So when someone opens a new account and buy out-of-the-money call options that expire a few days after an earnings announcement it's not hard for the SEC to flag all those.

Then all they have to do is look up that person and see if they have any connection to the company. They can look at who you are connected to on LinkedIn, who you live with, where your family is employed. Then they come to that person and ask them a question that seems innocuous "Have you ever discussed Company X with <insert name>". If you lie, then you've already committed a felony when they get your text records or email or Whatsapp.
Why not hydrogen? Hydrogen's weakness is volume and cost; but for shipping neither of those is a huge concern. Batteries are more efficient but given the scale for shipping that may not be as much

>* a lot of these areas also flood, so you either now have more flooding or now you have to shore up levees and other flood protections at great expense

My most familiar example is the central valley of CA, which is a basin, and which will flood either way,

>* land subsidence due to groundwater draw is not necessarily evenly spread. most buildings and infrastructure are not supposed to unevenly shift large distances.

this is absolute nonsense, no building has ever seen differential elevation gain. we are talking about meters across many kilometers.
Is it possible these guys bragged on social media and was snitched? Ohh boy
For real. I’ve read through half this thread and have no idea what this is for.
The SAT measures the two skills colleges care most about: reading and math.

Reading is the most important part. Your score on this section is determined by how much time you spend reading. A student who reads for an hour a day will get a top score, while a student who doesn't read at home will get a low score. Colleges require students to be capable of reading for long periods of time, and the SAT is a great way of filtering out people who are not active readers.

A student with a low reading score might be otherwise intelligent, but intelligence does not make a scholar. A college education involves consuming copious amounts of information; it is no place for someone who struggles with reading comprehension.

Courts can also deliver injunctions, "specific performance" and similar non-financial remedies, not just monetary remedies.

The Conservancy lawsuit against Vizio contends that the GPL is also a contract and that downstream users are third-party beneficiaries of that contract, so they should be able to sue for compliance with the contract. Its a really interesting approach and I hope they win. I encourage you to read the court documents, they make for interesting reading.

https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html

Also, monetary damages are pretty much always insufficient in GPL cases, since money doesn't get you source code. I guess if the money was enough to pay for reverse engineering and reimplementation of the fixes/features present in the non-compliant codebase, then they could be enough.
afaik this isn't about judging only by standardized test scores, though.
It isn't about the tech. Ice-breakers are owned and operated directly or indirectly by some military or government agency, and stay in remote areas in a country's own waters.

Do you think any Chinese or Russian-built nuclear container ship is going to be able to dock in the port of Los Angeles or New York (the two busiest in the country)?
How well understood is the N64 understood now? Is most of the knowledge of how it works from reverse engineering or is there actually stuff from nintendo explaining it that's now available?
At least back when I knew people in the admissions office, MIT definitely did not ignore that “crap” though I’d be willing to stipulate it may have weighted it less heavily than a school like Harvard.
