Oh. To this modern reader, L. Bob Rife was just an obvious parody of L. Ron Hubbard.

I don't have anywhere near the scientific background to even consider whether this is a report on "fungi are intelligent" or "just some random electrical signals". If the former, it's absolutely hilarious, because Terrance McKenna was possibly right after all: https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/evolution/stoned-ape-...

Of course, if this were "true" and "proven", I would imagine it would be all over front-page news for every major publication.

I've been using Emacs for 2/3 years now, especially to take notes. It's been a bit difficult at the beginning but I really enjoy it now, it's provided many features I needed to organize my thoughts.
At typical laptop distance, 200 dpi is around where you can start to see individual dots. This varies by individual of course, but I think that’s more-or-less right. That’s blurry. It’s also where font hinting starts to matter.

Your example seems perfectly fine to me, and is easy and pleasant to read. I’m reading on a Surface Pro 3 that came out in 2014, that I bought on Ebay for $200 and put Linux on. It has a non-blurry screen, as do all phones these days. Non-blurry screens are essential for reading text, and no longer confined to the wealthy. Hallelujah!
The article was extremely unclear. I'm a Finn. It goes roughly like this.

Winter War
- Soviet Union attacked Finland unprovoked in 1939
- After 105 days of fighting, peace was agreed
- Finland had to cede some territory, including second biggest city Viipuri
- also a Soviet military base on the southern coast, Hanko

Continuation War
- Germany attacked Soviet Union in 1941
- Soviet Union bombed Finland and Finland attacked Soviet Union
- Finland troops advanced up to the great lakes Ladoga and Onega
- Finland retreated towards the end of the war
- In 1945 in the peace treaty Finland lost territories
- also a Soviet military base in Kirkkonummi near Helsinki
- Finland had to wage war against former supporter Germany in Lapland
- This is called the War of Lapland

Cold War
- Finland was a free country, you could travel abroad freely etc
- Finland didn't receive any Marshall aid
- Soviet Union gave some pressure to Finland in various ways
- Being neutral was walking a tightrope
- This is what was called Finlandization
- Finland nevertheless became very wealthy between 1945 and 1989
- Soviet Union trade was lucrative

Breakup of Soviet Union
- Since Soviet Union broke up, all treaties that were with it were thought expired

> But this type of freedom comes at a cost that some do not want to pay.

Who are those some? Managers or techie? Because yes, business choose to do it's best avoiding Smalltalk, Lisp etc for business reasons, but those reasons are not "their cost" but the fact that with them anything is open, integrated, there are not countless of individual "product" to be sold, well welded so to guarantee that no one can temper them etc.

It's a bit like modern "open source enterprise" monsters, they are not monsters because doing so make easy changes people involved in a project, find people skilled in that field etc but because being monsters it's cheap to pay enterprise support instead of deal with issues internally, re-write from scratch instead of forking etc.

While these days Smalltalk and Lisp are just programming environments on a host OS in the past they were the OS and so the OS is a unique environment not a container cargo ship with containers on top, anything rigidly separated, that's the business reasons behind industry choice IMO...
Not so far off when Paul Graham also vouched for Coinbase, which CFTC ordered it to settle on its False, Misleading, or Inaccurate Reporting and Wash Trading.

It's quite unbelievable that this type of grift is defended by YC. When the crypto mania ends and the obvious consequences from tens of thousands of people who have been destroyed by Coinbase are realized, they will be just as quick to distance themselves.

I'm really disappointed in YC, especially in its founders. When Paul Graham mentioned that he specifically looks for Founders who break the rules but not outright illegal, I had no idea he meant a break from moral ethics and brushing very close with US securities law.

I just don't get how some people can look away at what's truly happening in crypto—it is a systematic wealth transfer via digitized ponzi. any money you make in crypto comes directly from somebody's loss and this is NOT at all like the financial markets where pricing mechanism are enforced and regulated for price discovery on real world assets that is widely adopted.

Yet this will not stop thousands of applicants who apply to YC for their chance at riches. It's a shame how we glorify grift and enrichment through the destruction of others.

It is this specific culture that we chose not associate ourselves with YC, others are already aware of the grift that YC founders have publicly supported, invested, and vouched for. What saddens me is that many YC hopefuls and commenters will look the other way because of what they seek to gain.

If you drink from water that others had muddied, you too are dirty.

I can't give a full answer to your question without revealing things I don't want to put online. The best I can do is say I don't know. It's hard to judge what would have happened otherwise, what opportunities I might have pursued.

So, I answered as best I can. But even if, under yours or anyone's definition, we were better off, what does that say? An economic system or society (can't really full disentangle the two) where a family is either unable to survive or do more than barely survive unless their kids work in this way... That does not seem like a society optimized for for its own best outcomes as a whole or for many individuals either. I also don't have any magic answer that would fix things either, but acknowledging the problem is a necessary step along the way. Asking if my family was better off is just asking if a shitty situation would have been any shittier otherwise. I prefer to think we should work towards less shitty circumstances overall, and the entrenched systems aren't it.
That making friends bit is proving to be a bit difficult for me at the moment.
What does inner work mean in this context?
Fraud is a huge problem in current mainstream finance and government money programs, so why would crypto be any different? The US’ Payroll Protection Program covid response paid out tons of money to fake businesses because a similar “proof of legit business-hood” was not easy to determine in a timely manner. And stories like that do a lot of damage to the enthusiasm for such social programs, even if the program was still mostly effective; I’m not sure where PPP falls on the spectrum, but people would focus on a 10% fraud rate over a 90% success rate for instance.

I think crypto is still a solution looking for a problem, but let’s not pretend that fraud wasn’t a massive pre-existing problem for humanity.
I agree that neither vim nor emacs are "0 fiddling" [0]. However,

> Modal editing is not really something that is needed anymore

Honestly, I'm not sure it was ever "needed", but that's not really the point IMO.

It's hard for me to think about editing text in any way other than how Vim handles it. Part of that is admittedly just familiarity, but I think there's also something to the idea of treating strings as more than just arrays of characters. Once you start thinking about your text and code as nouns of various sizes and granularity [0], losing those feels cumbersome.

In order to achieve the latter, you either need modality or a huge number of control hotkeys. Vim takes the former approach while Emacs (and IDEs) takes the latter.

So yes, you can achieve the "crowning feature" of Vim (IMO) without modality, but I don't see modality itself as being a pro or a con as much as a design choice. If you don't prefer it, more power to you.

> and a lot of people don't have time to learn a new language just to move about in their IDE - just click the mouse button ...

This also works the other way. I don't want to have to learn where all the buttons are in $IDE just to move my text about. Thankfully, many IDEs include a Vim mode or plugin for it, but those are never quite the same.

Every tool has some level of learning curve. If you want it to be more flexible, powerful, and to get the most out of it, that learning curve is gonna be steeper. That goes for both IDEs with their buttons and Vim with its modal commands.

For something that you might use for hours on end every single day for professional work, putting in some time to learn it pays dividends. For both Vim and IDEs.

[0]: In vim parlance, this is effectively what "movements" operate on. They sort of define these objects via implication.
I think folks' mileage vary significantly on this, and partly due to a distinction I'd make between being bored and not having energy.

I used to know a family that was as creative as folks would come (immediate family had renowned authors, world class academics, illustrator, etc.), and it was clear that the children played such a central role in continuing to foster a culture that was very creative and "alive." But, it was also true that both parents had WFH jobs (this was over a decade ago), extremely flexible schedules, and were very well off to do. In that context, having kids can be the forcing function you describe, especially if the parents in question are folks already predisposed to being curious and interesting people.

However, I suspect most adults end up suffering from a lack of energy. The daily toil ends up sapping so much of themselves that the necessary energy expenditure to be more child-like isn't there, and you get your usual couch potatoes, nappers, seemingly disinterested zombies. For someone in that situation, adding kids to the equation ends up becoming just ONE MORE THING to completely drain them every day.

That doesn't hold up, he argues that they should be treated like other citizens of the country they emigrated to (treated like a human). And not to be extra privileged based on some utopia.

Just because a North Korean escapes life work camp sentence , it doesn't give South Korea right to put them in a South Korean work camp.
> But moderate isn't an absolute description of an ideology as we've established

Right, that was my point from the start. "moderate" isn't an ideology by itself. When we are in a US context (irrespective of whether someone is a US progressive or a US conservative), "moderate" refers to the propensity to hew somewhat closely to the US status quo. On the other hand, you've argued that "moderate" depends on a person's ideology, and people with normative American ideologies can't talk about Saudi moderates because "moderate" would be relative to normative American ideology--of course this isn't true because I'm an American and I just referenced Saudi moderate ideologies. "moderate" doesn't depend on my ideology or normative American ideologies, but the context which I've explicitly designated as "Saudi" but it may also be implicit.

> You've agreed that "moderate" is a term relative to ideology already, so what even is it you're arguing now?

Hah, "moderate is a relative term" was my position from the start, you've changed tack from arguing that the definition of moderate ("occupying any mainstream position avoiding extreme views and major social change") is inherently ideological--it's not. It's an adjective which describes ideologies, and it's relative to some context (e.g., US politics, European politics, etc), but the definition doesn't vary based on anyone's ideology contra your claim.
Germany has passed a series of laws over the past ~30 years under the umbrella of the Renewable Energy Act (EEG), and decade by decade, that's resulted in strong renewable energy growth in Germany:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Renewable_Energy_Source...

Big energy projects of all kinds generally have at least a decade of preparation going into them before they come on-line. For solar and wind, this means everything from building more factories for solar PV and wind turbines, to devising and building better grid distribution systems, to incorporating large-scale storage into the system to account for intermittency.
I'm not quite sure I follow your question, but I have to keep rediscovering that min-maxing life is not a great strategy. Trying to squeeze every bit of advantage out of what I read, how i work, where I travel, etc. is not the optimal strategy for me. Furthermore, the most successful people I've met tend to focus on doing things that they enjoy rather than on min-maxing.

For me, this has meant studying philosophy, religion, biology, music, and other things that do not necessarily contribute to a fully optimized life.

I too have found a wonderful community in the maker scene, and it has fed my creativity. This can certainly be a good place to spend time.

It's not a feeling, we have the data, it's just illegal to publish them in France because ethnical statistics are forbidden:

https://youtu.be/2tCmyi62yH0?t=416

In 2021, 1659 anti-religious acts were recorded in France, including 857 anti-Christian acts (52%), 589 anti-Semitic acts (36%) and 213 anti-Muslim acts (13%)

But yeah, go ahead and say we have a "feeling of insecurity because we are racist", I won't blame you, I've been doing the same for 15 years or so. Meanwhile, let me know if you want more data because I have tons. What, you want to talk demographics now ? ;)

50% renewables for electricity in Germany this year.

So doable.
IIRC, the rationale behind continuing to pay Russia for P&G is that the alternative would hurt Europeans more than it would hurt Russia. Energy prices are pretty bad at the moment, over here in Europe.
Additionally it appears to only be about electricity and now addressing the bigger users of energy, transportation and heating.
> At a high level they're trying to solve a worthy problem: proof of personhood for crypto.

Like all powerful ideas, there are ways that this could bring great value to the world and unfortunately also ways that this could be horrifically abused. Proof of personhood for crypto could enable verifiable UBI for the world. It could also enable mass surveillance if widely adopted.

Wait. Why is this a worthy problem if it has such extreme downsides? What good is UBI if you live in a panopticon? How would the resulting world be different than the former USSR where many things were paid for but you lived in fear of your neighbour ratting you out for "anti-government sentiment"?

It's astonishing how democracies can get anything done at all, right?

As if there was an underlying force, something beyond the person in charge, signing laws and making speeches.

Something like, you know a society, that can make things happen (or not).

A modern democracy is not just the ability to change leaders once in a while. It's also the fact that you get a society with clear rules, that empower people to make things happen and empower other people to back the things they like.

If enough Germans are pissed at the situation they let themselves into, they will back attempts to solve this problem, whether they come from some hand-wavy politician or by an utility company offering a green energy plan (even if it costs a bit more)

"God is Dead" wasn't an aspirational statement by Nietzsche, it was an observational one. Jung further called the move on to "spirituality" in light of the "death" of god as people move on to politics or new age religions to find meaning. This is natural evolution of that.
