One of the big moments of enlightenment I've had was the importance of emotionally detaching from the world.

What does that mean? If you see your ex on the street, emotionally detached is not running away from her and not running toward her. If she says, "I'm going to Hawaii for vacation," it's not asking which island or deep details. It's saying, "That sounds nice." You care but you don't really care. You're emotionally detached.

Doing this for the whole world sounds easy but it's one of the hardest things you can possibly do. Imagine if a million people suddenly loved you. It's almost impossible not to feel elated. Now imagine if a million people suddenly hated you. It's almost equally impossible not to feel devastated. But you can do it; and if you do it, you can unlock true happiness, true freedom.

It's like this article says, but I don't see it about being an adult -- it's about being truly free.
There is ample historical evidence that having an army to send into war makes the world less safe, not more.

If the US army in particular had a clear conscience, why would the US oppose the International Criminal Court in The Hague? Telling your soldies that their war crimes will go unpunished is a great way to invite them.
If you can afford it it’s actually the opposite of career suicide. Sometimes you need to step back in order to see the forest through the trees.

>The point of the article is that it's babyish to be so fragile that a friend cancelling plans causes you great pain, or so guilt-ridden that you can't bring yourself to cancel.

My reading of the scenario is not that the person is too "guilt-ridden" to bring themselves to cancel - it's that they only mildly want to cancel, for frivolous reasons. They want to find out if the other person also mildly wants to cancel. The point is, in many relationships it is simply not possible to find this information out, because asking "how much do you want to keep our plans" in and of itself reveals that you want to cancel.

You can't measure how much the other person truly wants to cancel, because attempting to take the measurement will alter the outcome.
> Despite its inconclusiveness, the study was portrayed as relevant to child tax credit policy, vigorously promoted in media outlets like Vox and The New York Times, and championed by thinktanks and policymakers.

Here is the real tragedy:

None of those outlets will report on this analysis and their proponents will beat us over the heads with "Trust the Science!"

I think the reference might be that some versions of suffering focused ethics entails positions like antinatalism in the short term, and the extinction of suffering capable life as a great good in the long term.

considering the great amount of miserable, unworthy lives (factory farmed animals, heavily abused and tortured humans, etc) that exist and will likely exist even in some amount in even the "utopian" far future, it's reasonable for someone who doesn't think this all this can be counterweighed by any amount of pleasurable lives to consider permanent extinction as good.

and of course in the short term, suffering focused ethics may entail antinatalism as your children can't suffer, be abused, abuse animals, eat factory farmed meat if you just don't have children.

I heard a notion that I’d love to see followed up on, that places which believe ivermectin was working for them have a higher rate of parasitic infections to begin with, and suppressing these does improve COVID outcomes. Sort of lines up with the politics. Rural, not urban.
I work on the physical side; building hyperscale datacenters. You guys should try your hand at managing errors in that system. You've got it all: memory leaks, thermal overloads, misallocated heaps, pipes with strong type requirements, dropped packets ... you name it.

When you join the reserves you have to go through basic infantry training (you can't just go straight to Sandhurst like if you went into the regulars). You're paid £40.13 per day at the moment (I think I was paid something like £30 a day when I went through it a decade ago). I don't think anyone goes in for the money - I've made a days training sat on the toilet after lunch at my last contract gig.
That makes no sense in context on the author's statement, which was essentially saying, I did this because I wanted to, NOT because I had no choice.
Just an observation, n=1; when I moved to Los Angeles to go to school, I was shocked to find that people cancelled plans on me all the time. At first I took it personally, because that didn't happen in the more rural town I'm from. But then I realized: its part of the culture, and maybe its just an attribute of very dynamic urban social networks, where an exciting new opportunity might pop up any moment. So I learned to not get my hopes up, and learned to cancel on others too without worrying about it over much.

When I moved back to rural California, people thought I'd become a jerk. Took me a while to shift back.
You are correct, if you're not careful with your data fetching you can get into a waterfall situation. This is something we're keen to address in coming versions. Because we can get in the middle of your data fetching flow if you use cells, we should be able to do some optimizations without you having to do anything extra!
bird flips you!
Sure, but that's orthogonal to the question of whether an institution has a duty to censor speech flash mobs perpetuated by its members. Two wrongs don't make a right.
"Even more abominable, Bird argues that if the lawsuit goes to trial and Peña is awarded damages, it is Peña who must pay the damages … to himself."
I've not heard of this place before, but it seems like a budding or wannabe "think tank". Getting things wrong (drawing too broad a conclusion, using misleading framing) even when you're right (this particular paper under scrutiny is bad) is kinda the whole thing such institutions do.
Oh god I hope law enforcement doesn't decide to jump in on this as a cost-cutting measure (that they don't need) that would result in evidentiary and potentially constitutional issues. Most LE departments have arrangements that give them access to far more accurate results from, say, GC/MS testing, and performed by those who does testing and analysis for a living. The police in America at least has a pretty poor record on using pseudoscientific methods to build a case while leaving the easy and proven part of scientific testing - sending rape kits and such DNA collected to labs - on the backburner. And of course none of this is going to actually help the police since reporting rates and clearance rates for rape and sexual assault remain very low and by the time a report comes in, the evidence may no longer exist.

The focus on GHB/GBL seems... lacking in coverage, considering that there's a whole range of water/alcohol soluble substances that is easier to carry (in powder or pill form, instead of liquid) and doesn't have the taste problem GHB/GBL has when mixed drinks tend to drown out the chemical taste of Midazolam or, if push comes to shove, research chemicals based off existing formulations such as Nifoxipam represent just the tip of the iceberg in the analogues of just one category of potential "date rape drugs", quotes because without question the likes of Midazolam have contributed much more to the health and well-being of patients than as the moral panic du jour once again that overshadows its utility.

And I would posit that alcohol is not viewed as an epidemic in part because those who drink tend to know what they're drinking, while there's virtually no street demand for fentanyl and its analogues and the supply-side demand is generated entirely by the failed war on drugs that targets the supply side aggressively enough so that the golden rule of prohibition kicked in and the most potent and easiest to carry form of the prohibited substance becomes what the supply side focuses on. Regular, non-opiate-naive users were overdosing and dying, which is very much an aberration when it comes to overdoses generally. And we've utterly failed at implementing anything more than the bare minimum in terms of harm reduction while politicians go out of their way to blame everyone but themselves. It's effectively a government sanctioned epidemic. If you want to kick off your week on a shitty note, read Inspector Generals' reports on DOJ and the DEA specifically. However impractical, this is at least an attempt at putting a harm reduction product on the market, and should be applauded as such. It's more than what congress have managed to do for god knows how long.
Seems like a fragile kind of agency if people trying to interpret you crushes it.
It simply wasn't super hardened, but I'm no expert on mid-80's UNIX variants, maybe they had all the same issues. The filesystem was questionable as I said. But certainly it was pretty advanced for its time - probably not a lot of high schools had a lab of networked standalone UNIX machines and these were the closest thing you were likely to get.
Just as a quick FYI the other side of the story is the the claim that he'd been drinking large amounts of cognac.

"Mr. Pena was allegedly operating a Bird scooter illegally on a city-maintained sidewalk with a BAC [blood-alcohol level] over the legal limit, tested positive for marijuana and in violation of the California Vehicle Code."

His claim is the city is at fault because police officers had seen him breaking the rules (no helmet, riding where he shouldn't and hadn't cited him).

"He said he was never stopped or cited, even though police officers had seen him numerous times."

It looks like he hit a visible obstruction, was not wearing a helmet and was impaired. My question is - should taxpayers be on hook for the millions he is looking for?

I ask because I was part of an effort to get community gardens up, and "liability" concerns by cities over what seemed like farcical situations was a major impediment. Then the more I read about the lawsuits they face, the more I realized that you could fall asleep drunk at the wheel, run off the road, hit some garden thing and sue the city because whatever garden thing had a slight impact on the outcome of an accident that was your fault. There is some kind of crazy joint and severable liability which means if city is even like 5% at fault, if no one else can pay the $10M, they might have too?
> A lot of people talk about Mỹ Lai, and they say, 'Well, you know, yeah, but you can't follow an illegal order.' Trust me. There is no such thing. Not in the military. If I go into a combat situation and I tell them, 'No, I'm not going. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to follow that order', well, they'd put me up against the wall and shoot me.

> OTOH, a publicly traded corporation is also bad because because, motivated solely by growth,

There is nothing that says a public company must only be motivated by growth. Tesla's mission statement doesn't say anything of the sort and has done things that don't fulfill the idea of growth or profit at all costs.

Now you might argue that institutional investors don't care about that since there's an indirection between actual shareholders, but that's a related but different issue.

> Thus, use of the system would theoretically reduce the likeliness of a false-alarm-triggered retaliation

How does not preventing a retaliatory strike reduce the likeliness of a false-alarm-triggered retaliation? It seems like it increases it.
>> As with so many criticisms of "technology that enables laziness," this analysis ignores disability. Yes, it's a good thing to communicate with your friends! However, if you have significant social anxiety, "Tinder for bailing" could be a useful assistive technology. (And before you say "get therapy" - yes, of course, but that takes time and people should be able to live their lives whether or not they meet arbitrary standards of normal behavior.)

As someone who has done the therapy I can tell you that that app, while it may help you in the short term, is only going to make things so so so much worse in the long term - to the point where you can't live your life anymore. Medicating social anxiety with avoidance is similar to medicating pain with drugs. It just gets worse and worse until it's worse than you ever imagined. Every time you don't avoid something you're taking a step in the right direction. If possible I'd highly recommend therapy :)
You're omitting two of the main historical motivations for science:

1) Solving concrete problems (desalination, energy storage, flying like a bird, getting to the moon, etc)

2) Discovery for its own sake, sense of power over nature

Both of these can be pursued safely without a toxic CoI.
I'm talking about these sorts of "narc on your neighbor" systems in general, not this specific implementation against this specific infraction.
I feel your pain, I’ve been there. If you go to the person in the photos app, there’s an option to feature that person less in memories.
Sometimes your friend will want to cancel and be upset when you feel the same.
From his "If I Made Another Monkey Island" post quoted in the ad:

> All the games after Monkey Island 2 don't exist in my Monkey Island universe. ...That doesn't mean I won't steal some good ideas or characters from other games. I'm not above that.

So it can be both! Monkey Island 3 is no longer canon (which is a shame because it's fantastic), but also Murray can be upgraded into the canon universe anyway (TV Tropes would probably consider this an example of a "Canon Immigrant").
"Oh, they're not interested in going to this event, they probably think it's stupid."

Wouldn't this just be a matter of adding a component at the page level which calls the Phoenix Socket function? This should be framework agnostic since the post you linked above just works with React.
I'm not at Netflix, just summarizing. Check out the Netflix presentations like [1]; at 400gbps, the bottleneck is RAM and NUMA fabric. Doing bulk crypto on the CPU requires double the RAM bandwidth, and that kills the throughput regardless of the cost of cipher computation.

TLS termination costs are a large factor for Netflix because their CDN appliances want to have as much throughput as possible in a small space. At 'web scale', it wouldn't be a big deal to be happy with 100gbps througput and use 4 boxes; but getting ISPs to install more boxes is hard, it's better to get one box to work as fast as possible.

Personally, I've seen it be an issue; dual xeon 2690 v1 or maybe v2 couldn't push 10G via TLS, but could via plain text. But the v3 chips had better acceleration and could do 2x10G no problem. I never got access to more than 2x10G networking, so no idea what the limit was. That was under managed hosting (dedicated bare metal), so no ability to do networking beyond what was offered. At Facebook, they tended to use smaller servers and more of them, and I didn't deal with TLS as much.

The answer for many games studios was Citrix/Parsec and ilk, maybe some of the smaller ones allowed people to take PC's home...

Nobody was getting workstation grade laptops.

(speaking from experience).
A Mac Mini is smaller and lighter than a MacBook Pro. I could carry one between my home and office easily. It even simplifies hot desking in the office in a WFH-first world.

I never work from the living room. When the weather is nice I sometimes work from the park but to be honest I rarely achieve anything, it's just an excuse to go outside. Same for coffee shops, I can but almost never do.
Try it first, then compare. I had free college, it was mostly a waste of time for everyone. It was not a bad college, it was the best in the country, the others were worse.

In many cases you get what you pay for. In my case it was approximately zero. From what I hear from new hires, the quality these days it's worse, they are mostly diploma factories.
Oppressive vendor practices aside, I just don't get the laptop fixation some people have, in general.

I find it extremely hard to be productive on a laptop; the form factor is entirely wrong for concentration. Small screen, mushy crappy keyboard with a bad layout, etc. My desktop has a large monitor and a mechanical keyboard and a mouse and without that stuff, and an upright posture and focus, I can't get in the zone.

So, yes, I can hook a laptop up to all those things, but then it's just a desktop anyways. I can see the advantages for traveling, but for the last two years I naturally have not done that.

... But the worst thing about a laptop was while I was working from home there was just always the temptation to sluff off to a couch or bed and zone out. I couldn't program in that posture, but I could goof off.

Since quitting my $job and turning in my work laptop my coding productivity has gone up.

You'll pry my workstation from my cold dead hands, etc. etc.

Under similar circumstances? Probably, yes. They're the ones who ostensibly indemnified the city, something they had no obligation to do.
The article doesn't provide any links. Anyway, reseller provided specs are not that great source either. I meant vendor as in manufacturer. (I'm not a native speaker and for some reason I have some assication between vendor = manufacturer, probably due to my programming background. I'll have to work on that. :D)

Twitter is what you make of it.

It has some bad incentive issues that lead to outrage and dumb hostile retweets driving increased engagement/follower count, but it's also possible to just ignore and block all of that stuff.

You can find high quality accounts to follow and interact directly with interesting people doing interesting things. When used well and filtered properly it is the best source of high quality real time information available anywhere. There's just a lot of noise so filtering well can be tricky (and most people like the noise because it plays into tribal human nonsense).

The reason most people don't participate imo is because there's a lot of competition. It's hard to be interesting when competing on a truly global scale, it's a lot more competitive and the 'easy' ways to get attention are also often the worst. Most people would be tweeting into a void without anyone paying attention.

My issue with the speech thing is not Twitter's flawed moderation (which is an exercise of their speech), it's that we're trapped in a local maximum where massive centralized companies end up with a responsibility they shouldn't have that's effectively impossible for them to do well. The issue here runs deeper and isn't something we can escape without some serious changes to the computing stack we're operating in. Things can be tweaked and improved as they are, but can't be truly fixed with our current stack - it's a problem of incentives and capability.

Ideally it's not the responsibility of a CEO to moderate billions of people (or to establish teams to do so). The promise of the world wide web was a decentralized system of individuals controlling their own distribution. In that world speech is free, but people decide who they listen to absent incentive issues around engagement and platforms having to make decision about users they give service to.

The centralized services are trapped in an impossible situation and there is no good option in the current situation: https://zalberico.com/essay/2020/06/16/mark-zuckerberg-and-f...
He didn’t sue Bird, he sued the city for not maintaining the sidewalks. Whether or not that case has any merit is debatable, but the mechanism under which the city held Bird liable and then in-turn Bird held him liable is utterly insane.
I'm happy for you. Hopefully they continue to offer you quick access to services. However, I'd encourage you to look on twitter and in the news for examples where Cerebral went radio silent on patients who were waiting for refills. Maybe consider savoring the prescriptions you get, since you don't know when/if the next one will arrive ;)

That and desktop cooling tends to be lightyears ahead of laptop cooling; you can thrash a desktop for a long time before hitting a thermal limit, unlike most laptops.
You are discussing a different polarity in communication: do you just care for your own feelings or for the other person’s? That should be a factor in good communication!

The article is discussing a different polarity: direct vs indirect communication. Direct communication is being honest and open about your feelings and those of others to the best of your ability. Some people only seem capable of indirect communication, where they say what they think the other person wants to hear and assume their own needs somehow come through, then are upset when the other person takes what they say at face value! And they assume the other person has some ulterior/hidden motive like themselves and try to read more into it than is really there.

This is a big reason I can't stand the culture of twitter. When I interact with someone on Reddit, the two of us are on equal footing. There are many other strange Reddit specific cultural details to keep in mind when commenting, but the two of us are just two mostly equal users.

I once disagreed with someone on twitter that I didn't realize had a huge following and was easily upset. They retweeted my response and called on their tens of thousands of followers to back them up in our disagreement. I deleted twitter that day.
Ah, I see. Have never got one, fingers crossed. I am not a big user...
If you didn’t get a full night of sleep before rising early this advise is not for you.

That doesn’t invalidate it, though.
Rereading my comment now I think I wasn't very clear. If someone comes to you with a problem and you say "well you should assume positive intent" that is probably bad.

I know that's not what the writer of this, or these policies, intends, and not what people here mean either.

But I have seen this, a lot, at places that have "assume positive intent" as an official company value.
