"Woke" doesn't really seem to mean much anymore. It has become a code word used by the right, which could be summarized as "the enemy". There are other code words like "cancel culture" which similarly applied, but not apparently applicable to right wing cancelling.

I wouldn't take anything too seriously from [Project Veritas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Veritas) who have an ongoing issues of distorting, misrepresenting and the like - the ACORN case being most obvious.

"Elon doing this is now massive peer pressure in the opposite direction."

What is the opposite direction? Why is that better/good? I honestly don't know what the opposite of "woke" is, because "woke" is used as a reactive response. It's whatever it needs to be to attack.

This all seems part of a wider "culture war". Like many wars it's actually hard to know what underlies it.

"Libertarian" style free speech is widely available. Unfortunately it seems to just degenerate into trolling and the worst of human behavior. (say like 4chan/8chan etc).

If you want "Authoritarian Conservative" you can go to Truth Social or "r/conservative" on reddit.

"this is likely great news for proponents of free speech"

Free speech protects citizens from the government. If twitter doesn't want Nazis (or whatever) on it's service then it can do that. It is not a free speech issue.
And both might be related. Motivation for any billionaire to back Republican top candidates is to repeal all Billionaire Tax legislature that might pass soon.
I don't think anything is impossible in big commercial engines. I mean, IIRC Unreal Engine gives you a Visual Studio project containing all of the engine's C++ code, so theoretically if you use Unreal your game could be any legal C++ program.

But as a practical matter, using Unreal turns every decision you make from "what behavior do I want" into "what behavior do I want and is it worth fighting Unreal on this", so Unreal games are a lot more Unreal-y than they otherwise would be. (This is especially true on PC, where things like "how are the game assets organized on disk" are visible to end-users.)

Particularly on the 2D hobbyist stuff that I do, writing my own engine is less work than becoming an expert in an engine I don't really like so I can change most of it.
Are you a shareholder of TSLA? I am, and I am happy with Elon.
I'm not sure what you mean by "wrecking ball," but an activist shareholder can win a proxy fight if other shareholders choose to go along with them. And Musk is pretty good at making investments go up by tweeting things, so they are probably pretty happy about this.
cough... My mother may have something to say about that.
I think we do, it's called the DNS. Buy a domain and put whatever you like on it. It does get hard/expensive if you get a truly massive audience, but that has always been true. You are not and have never been owed the benefits of someone else's platform, but it's still easier now to have a truly public discussion than ever before.

Do you think the government should censor incorrect or hateful speech and if not, why not?
Upvoting but Russia most definitely cannot be self-sufficient. Unless you mean in a theoretical or future sense. Most of it exports are energy, and their industry depends heavily on western and chinese machinery and components.
That seems strange to me, obesity is most common amongst Blacks and Hispanics, with Whites (and especially Asians) less likely to be obese. Blacks are far more likely to live in major cities than Whites.
In a BYOD organization, you must be in compliance with Mobile Software Management Rules in order to have access to organizational assets and resources.
Youre victim blaming, no? The problem is the lack of ethics of the people in the know, who are creating the propaganda, and tools and disinformation on behalf of the Robert Murdoch's in exchange for money. All this stuff is done by people like us.

We are the problem. Not the misinformed masses.
The bitcoin block hashes are almost entirely manipulation proof. A miner could decide to withhold a winning block at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but that's about it.

And with the long running key derivation function, they have no idea how a hash even effects the outcome.

Are you arguing that when he signs his name and certifies that the (short) form is "true, complete and correct" that he is not responsible because the form was prepared by an attorney of his?

How did "the media" seize on this? When I last checked, there were zero articles. And even if they had, why wouldn't discussion be merited?
I think there's value in game-ifying activity (makes it more fun).

I agree that the time should also be presented - and steps may be useful too to help people realize that it can be distributed throughout the day and doesn't HAVE to be a time consuming/strenuous 30 minute bout to see significant benefits.

I have my own opinions and methodology on consuming modern corporate news. I just skim all the sites regardless of their political leanings and just go into it assuming they all have multiple agendas on multiple levels. If one finds a topic interesting enough one can cherry pick that which can be verified and verify it discarding the rest while continuously asking oneself what might motivate a company to talk about this topic in this particular method of presentation?

If I am really bored I might rewrite the news article the way I think it should have been presented often resulting in an article that is a tiny fraction of the original size. For extra fun I try to imagine what the "bad lip reading" youtube site would make them say.

In my view, failing to experience training your body and seeing yourself improve is analogous to never finding love, never enjoying art, never enjoying learning. It's a part of the human experience we've evolved dedicated pathways to make us enjoy and opting out of that is a crying shame.
I spent many years working on high-end TV weather graphics on SGI Indigo, Onyx, and the O2 (toaster over shaped) boxes; they were remarkable for their time and the hours and hours it took to render graphics made for really nice downtime at work letting me say things like "sorry, can't do anything, graphics are rendering".

The best source for hardware ended up being a local university surplus shop where we could get the big SGI monitors for pennies on the dollar.

I find it incredibly useful. I follow accounts accounts I consider useful or interesting. They post all sorts of informative things, fun anecdotes, bits of history, etc.

Yeah if you just follow celebrities or influencers you’ll have a bad time. But there are lots of great smaller accounts (<250k followers) out there. You can often get tech news first that way from reliable sources.

What kinds of messes are you even referring to, out of curiosity?

The post is about a man who wants to do meaningful work, so I'm missing the leap to "messes."
True! Great point that there are very, very many other ways that they are "compensated" besides direct $$$ donations. Thank you for noting that.
Oban is really great: https://getoban.pro

Built on Postgres, it lets your background jobs achieve transactionality and consistency with your database. Its architecture is also well designed to allow it to scale up to about as much as Postgres can handle. The Pro version comes with a great web UI built with Phoenix LiveView that does just about everything one could ask for.
We aren't talking about what it takes to be a good one though, just to be one. Your last sentence is true of literally any work or skill one chooses to master. And choosing mastery isn't required in any of them, there are other optimizations available.
> This is a bit of linguistic gymnastics.

No, I'm just not being misleadingly sloppy with language.

If there was a big protest at the intersection of First Avenue and Main Street about aliens mind-controlling the president, it's not a lie to report that the protest happened and what the protesters said, even though what the protesters said wasn't true. It's true that the protest happened and the protesters said things. That's a concept that a lot of people don't seem to get, and it leads to a lot of annoying noise.

> I don't know your exact politics, but I'm pretty sure that if Fox News did this kind of thing (which they also do) you'd be plainly calling them out for it.

What do you mean, exactly?

> If you can't see that the very reporting that CNN and others did was fueling the very outrage on which they were reporting, and that it was a self-perpetuating cycle of their own making, then I'm at a loss.

Why would you say that? Did you not see the second line that you quoted from me?
OK fine, but going with this logic is how you get to "a series of tubes"
> This was almost certainly done by a lawyer working on his behalf. This strikes me as a technicality of paperwork that is being seized upon by the media as a way to portray Musk in the worst possible light.

Elon openly attacks and disregards SEC. He doesn’t have any benefit of the doubt left, when it comes to activities that SEC is suppose to be regulating.
Not working would make me very content. I'm going to need money for that.
Do you have a source on your claim that 7k of sporadic and slow walking is categorically worse than a 5 minute walk that is fast?

I think that is a rather counter intuitive claim, 7k steps is about 5-6km whereas a 5 minute walk even at blistering pace is an order of magnitude less.
but what is that in finger motions for my phone?
Hey Robbert, just want to say congrats on this! This is excellent work and really thoughtful / detailed.

A fork implies that the projects are going diverge, which it seems they don't want to happen.

From a quick reading of that page I think the LumoSQL authors are making the effort to maintain their set of modifications as some kind of patch which will continue to be compatible with future SQLite versions as they are released.
So these forms and processes can be essentially spammed and nobody gets any real fine or other legal penalty, even when flagrant criminality is found? It seems like there would be major incentive for press outlets to expose this as government waste or capitalist greed, so I would be curious to see any existing journalism about this.
Tangent, but in the seasonal storage context.

Apparently, according to a reported simulation, if you (1) take a ca 15m x 15m house thermally in contact with the ground, (2) insulate the ground outside to a radius of ca 40m, and (3) heat the interior to say 25C, then (4) evenually (50years?) the ground itself under the house will come up to a steady temperature consistent with that.

Even if the simulation was correct, I can only see this being sustainable with solar gain being used for heating, but it makes for an interesting long-term-oriented picture.

One imaginable scale of application could be for a cluster of houses in a larger agricultural setting.
Pro tip: Hold down alt key before and during clicking to select a link to copy. This prevents the "link click" action from firing, and allows you e.g. place your mouse cursor in the middle of a link (don't forget to hold down alt!) and select the link's text.
the point is, there's a difference between "shouting fire in a theater" vs. "russian agents disguised as patrons shouting fire in a theater with the express purpose of causing chaos and harm"

> A branch is not a subsidiary. Like a branch of Tesco, it is the same company. There's a clue in the company number prefix FC: foreign company.

You were the one who said its "Amazon Luxumbourg" mate.

I merely pointed out that technically it was actually a UK branch thereof, so you were not right to call it Amazon Luxumbourg per-se. Its a Local Registered Branch.

Amazon make the differentiation on their website. So should you.

> So why should a Luxembourg company get UK card rates?

Its simple. As I said quite clearly in line two of my post....

What Amazon UK is or is not is not the point of discussion here.

I quite appreciate the author's use of Death Burger art as illustration in the article. For me it captures the aesthetic of modern cyberpunk quite well.
They don't prevent walking any more than living in the suburbs do. But there's a slight barrier waiting for an elevator, or walking down stairs, etc. There's a reason that grocery delivery services sprang up in places like NYC first and most prominently instead of, say, Pittsburgh.

While they enable density, certainly better than the suburbs do, they're not a great solution. For large cities you want to look at a city like Paris (Ignoring the central business district which is set aside like an upset child that needs to think about what they've done) for even better and more appropriate density.

I think often times people assume more skyscrapers == more density therefore good. But I think that level of density isn't healthy either, it's just more healthy in comparison to the abysmal and wasteful suburbs.

Also your statement is a bit contradictory. If the skyscraper apartments are an extremely low portion of units, how do they enable density if there are so few?
Depending on the rights those copies hold and the capabilities of the technology, couldn't they be merged to avoid unnecessarily duplication of persons?

This is more or less the idea behind [Direct Primary Care](https://www.dpcare.org) – by turning primary care into a monthly subscription, you're encouraged to ask more simple questions to keep yourself in good health, and your doctor is encouraged to keep you healthy so you don't have to come in.

(Not affiliated with this movement and I don't even use it, just think it's a great idea.)
What does that matter? The original question was:

>I sympathize but very rich people owning the media never ends well

How does the history of the ultra-wealthy controlling the narrative in media for their own gain change that statement?
I'm not sure what you're trying to imply by the last statement. "Designed" is a pretty loose term here.

Running, cycling, swimming, lifting, and walking are all safe activities. The human body is extremely adaptable, and we do not need to encourage even more fear of movement.

The Internet has never been a "democratizing" force. Even now there are hardly any large services and/or platforms that use anything even close to a real _democratic_ process when it comes to dealing with content and moderation.

At best the Internet gives us some _freedom of choice_ in selecting whichever authority we'd like to operate under the reign of. Having (some) freedom of choice does not in and of itself lead to democracy.

That said, even this freedom of choice is increasingly being challenged with the erection of more and more national boundaries on the Internet. Collectively we do need to figure out how the Internet is to be governed in the future, because if we just take the default, we will end up replicating the same national borders as we have now.

I don't mean for this to sound like a defense of the article, which it emphatically is not.

>Imagine the bad old days of the 1980s when everyone had to get their news from CNN!

Important to remember in this that they would have had 1980s CNN, which I presume is significantly different from modern CNN. NPR, for example, was a mostly even-keeled news source as recently as 20 years ago; no one was surprised to find a dedicated NPR listener who was conservative in 1980, which is certainly not true today. Without having any personal experience of CNN, past or present, I imagine they have followed a similar trend.

When I was physically frail, walking was the only PE I could bear. It was surprising to see how integrated it is. It helps pump blood very softly. I massages your gut. It's a global exercise, unlike isolated workouts. There's also a mind aspect to wandering.. your imagination walks too, in various directions.

ps: to add some context, I used to be a runner, so when health crashed, my first reaction was to jog to maintain things, but it was too demanding, stationary biking was too focused on legs.. both didn't allow blood to flow everywhere nicely. Too a few hikes only to feel warm blood back into toes and fingers for instance. And even lungs opened better. Since lungs are also linked to blood flow, ensuring a holistic proper circulation probably helped that part too.

I wrote this back when I was 18, in response to the question “what kind of life do you want to live?” but I always come back to it. Something about it still resonates with me.

“What kind of life do you want to live?”

“A life full of color. I couldnt bear to have a boring life: I want my days to be full of joy and pain and laughter and success and failure and broken hearts and love. To be honest I don’t care where I end up, I just want to look back and smile at a life I painted with all the colors I could find.”
I’m worried about tangible changes. As their largest shareholder with a seat on the board (not to mention lots of fans/popular with some) I don’t want him to be able to drive product decisions.

I know what I would like to change (better 3rd part app support, better anti-harassment tools). I don’t see why he would push for either one.

I don’t know what he WOULD push for, but I worry I won’t like it. He called for the edit button. I know that’s long requested but carries some serious downsides. And I don’t want them glossed over because they push to get it out to make him and his army happy.

I’m not a fan but I don’t think my liking Twitter and Elon being a big shareholder implies I am a fan of his. Twitter has enough of its own identity.
The current form of the EU is a stop-gap as long as not more power is transferred to the EU level. The EU is plagued by constant infighting and incoherent policies of the member states. But I think it's going better than some realise and a lot of the current projects of the EU are really firsts (a real industrial strategy with a focus on more autonomy in areas like chips and batteries). People except a lot from the EU and don't realise that in reality the legal bounds haven't really progressed since the 90s.

This conflict can again strengthen the european institutions and maybe result in some more reforms for the EU (and hopefully some democratic advances, although unlikely considering orban etc.).
I love all the nostalgia, but the post doesn't really answer the most interesting part of the title: why do workstations matter? I was really hoping there was some revelation in there!
