No, they're locking down over Omicron, which is a cold that none of the vaccines prevent. That's what authoritarian countries do, they repeal the freedoms of their subjects arbitrarily.

This is why it's absolutely insane that the free world followed the Chinese playbook at the beginning of the pandemic, even for a minute.

The CCP wants zero COVID and if they need to have another Great Leap Forward to get it, well, nobody will miss the "COVID deniers" in their society anyway.

Remember their war on sparrows? Starving their citizens to protect them from a cold is completely on brand for the communist Chinese -- they promised zero COVID and the Party will lose face if it isn't achieved, so it must be achieved, at any cost.

Reason number X for someone to work on semi-faithfully cloning that MS-DOS-era TUI interface so that it can work as an IDE on modern systems and compilers, piggibacking on things like LSP servers. It was done already for the Pascal version ("fp" ide), and we also have things like QB64. Hopefully it's just a matter of someone being inspired to do the work.
> all of them are about fostering awareness

It explicitly does not say that.

Reread your quote, slowly.

> such as mindfulness, *or* focusing the mind on a particular object,

and

> to train *attention and awareness*, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.”

You will note the intro distinctly does not say this applies to all meditation, and that awareness is one of 7 different goals mentioned.

It's a shame you didn't continue to read, particularly the section on definition:

> Meditation has proven difficult to define as it covers a wide range of dissimilar practices in different traditions. In popular usage, the word "meditation" and the phrase "meditative practice" are often used imprecisely to designate practices found across many cultures.[19][20] These can include almost anything that is claimed to train the attention of mind or to teach calm or compassion.[21] There remains no definition of necessary and sufficient criteria for meditation that has achieved universal or widespread acceptance within the modern scientific community.

No. But China had very recently only 31 ( yes 31 ) persons officially registered as organ donor. So how do you travel to another country, and come back with new organs that fast? How do you jump the queue? In the West you are even refused a heart transplant if you are not vaccinated for Covid...
A simple tip, maybe too obvious to even say, is for you to recognize your peers, as well as your reports and manager. Even a simple offhand remark ("great job running that meeting!") can go a long ways.

I agree. I’ve been using headspace on and off for about 3 years. The last three months it really started to click when I was able to meditate comfortably for 30 minutes or more.

To answer OP’s question: the benefits I’ve found are to start to recognize the constant internal (mostly critical) monologue as just another appearance in consciousness in the same way sight and sound are. When I have a really good meditation session this monologue just kind of dissolves and I’m left feeling very peaceful.

Would love to hear from any other experienced meditators on what they found their next steps to be at this stage.

For some weird reason, the same people can be OK with Cloudflare or Twitter banning someone for their political views, but wouldn't be OK with a bank or electricity provider banning someone for their political views.
>1) An all powerful state is the logical conclusion of anyone who believes the collective is more important than the individual.

That is an absolutely massive assumption not based in reality. Its possible to care about the system as a whole without thinking that there needs to be a centralized authority.
I'm not even touching heat pumps. But I do have to say that "loss of efficiency" in a supermajority of case is by... heat. Pretty much all the electricity that enters your house leaves it as heat. Heaters at 50%? I guess, if you use a long wave radio as an electric heater. Otherwise it's just 99.99%.

And if you mean electricity _generation_ is 50%, well, say so. That's a completely different topic, and electricity generation method are varied enough to make any single number meaningless. How do you calculate efficiency of hydro?
I actually sync my instances so when it does the git pull, it puts me in the last note I was working on, regardless of what machine it was.

This was a great skit, just recently was introduced to it on this very site. May have seen it as a child, it certainly reminds me of that time.
This is historically accurate, sure, but from what I have seen the current ruling class in the West has used this as a cheap excuse at best. It certainly seems to me that they have simply been selling our cultural and technological heritage away to line their pockets. The fact that a lot of these people would prefer a society run the way China is run also helped in getting them to support China too.
Slightly disappointed that WiFi 6E, on 6Ghz with 160Mhz only managed ~1300Mbps. I was expecting ~1500 to 1600. And only one 2.5Gbps Ethernet Port.
Sounds like you've only worked for bad managers. I'm not surprised, many companies protect them, and in fact promote them! I've worked for too many bad managers, so I feel your pain.

But also sounds like you've never worked for good managers. They may not do actual work (but many do!), but they definitely know about the technology. They ensure blockers are removed, questions are answered, obstacles are overcome, and that motivation remains high.

They may or may not be rarer that bad managers, but they do exist!

>This is an excellent example of good reasons for gun ownership.

The common argument against 2nd amendment is that the government has nukes. You cant overthrow the government with hunting rifles anymore. It's a valid point, you should only ever need guns to overthrow your government in times it has gotten too tyrannical. Said tyrannical government would likely freely nuke their own people.

Yep, exactly!

I had to ask at our last planning "wait, what, where do add the red flag to JIRA tickets". Considering I'm the one who's been conducting meetings and co-managing JIRA, and the one who red flags most stuff, that was 100% a brain fart. Someone telling me "you shouldn't be asking basic questions" not as a joke wouldn't go well.

Unless you're asking the same question every single week, that's not a problem. I doubt that's the case since OP already said his problem is he asks too little.

If you read the linked Al Jazeera article, it has more information:

> The 71 cases in question all occurred between 1980 and 2015, an important cut-off date as it was also the year China officially banned organ harvesting from condemned prisoners. Before then, most organ transplants in China were believed to have come from executed convicts because voluntary organ donation was extremely limited.

Indeed, and the very concept of "heresy" has changed over the centuries, to the point where the analogy to Newton is probably meaningless. "Heresy" was considered to be an immediate mortal threat to the eternal life of the soul. It was not just a disagreement with social customs. It was the spiritual equivalent to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, or driving a truck into a crowd.
His paper was definitively broadly inaccurate. A number of dissections online have illustrated at how he grasps at evidence that doesn’t say what he claims it to say. He over emphasizes the nature of statistical evidence, and ignores the minimal strength of effect as well.

Besides which this wasn’t a “all of a sudden I wrote a paper and then I got fired” - he had been posting similar ideas into internal forums and was getting push back and disagreements. He got his editorial feedback already and he ignored it.

XKCD386-- there is a LOT of dispute over who is White/Black, particularly as its become popular in some circles to define racism as something which can only happen to black people. And thus a discriminatory policy against asians isn't racist to those adopting that definition when they conclude that asians are "white".

Or see this op-end regarding the ADL changing their definition of racism to require it be against "people of color" and Whoopi Goldberg claiming the Holocaust was not about race: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/02/03/whoopi-go...

The same kind of postmodernist thinking that is comfortable redefining well understood biological terms like "male" and "female" to be about "not doing the dishes" or "liking climbing trees" instead of generally unambiguous biological properties is just as comfortable deciding that you're "white" on the basis of not wanting to extend the protection of anti-discrimination laws and norms to you.

> I think it much more convincing that social values determine the direction in which a country allows government to rule them.

There's some truth to this, but you can do event studies to show that economic conditions play a very large causal role too. e.g. the massive quantitative spike in Hitler's popularity 1 year into the depression (this is the main data point I want to bring up, because it's quantifiable by polling numbers), or the 1917 Russian Revolution which only was successful because of the dire conditions brought about due to WW1, or the CCP only getting into power because of Japanese occupation and degradation of the KMT.

Why do we prioritize industrial efficiency over individuals? Surely businesses can adapt to minor disruptions. That's the promise of an efficient market, right? So then why do we force those inconveniences onto the public, where delays and disruptions are personally costly and frustrating? Why do 250 people need to have their travel plans disrupted instead of the supermarket having eight varieties of mayo instead of nine, or my new sofa arriving in thirty days instead of twenty five?
If your budget allows I'd recommend combining Kindle with Audible. This is what Amazon calls "Voicewhisper". I find that applying multiple senses helps keep distractions out. Also nice to use Kindle's highlighting which you can look through on Goodreads afterwards.

I find that this approach works really well for books on e.g. on design, architecture and management. Can be slightly more awkward for books with a lot of diagrams and code, but usually just a matter of pausing the audio over certain sections.

Depending on the difficulty of the language used I can often play on 1.7-2x playback speed.

Except that it is used now to drive companies out of business. I honestly think that it has done more damage than benefit.

IMO If the funds used to prevent people from applying technology would be used to fund research instead, the gains would net at least zero.

Right now the benefits are localized to jurisdictions that don't care about IP. It is impossible to measure how much could have been gained from businesses that never existed due to uncertainty arising in the jungle of IPs.

An interesting study, and the researchers did an admirable job in trying to control confounding factors, but:

If I understand the setup correctly, the participants were given the writing sample to hold. While there was no effect on viewing distance, no mention of the participants' posture was made, beyond the fact that their torso and arms were secured. Head position therefore remains a possible variable, and craning your head forward (possibly a learned response to smartphone use) would definitely have an effect on respiration.

The researchers controlled for text size, but there is no mention of the typeface used, nor of the resolution of the printed sample. Even assuming the same typeface, by default print is significantly higher resolution than screens, even modern smartphone screens, and the typeface used can exacerbate this considerably.

The paper suggests blue light as a possible cause of the effect seen in this study, calling for additional study (of course), but no mention was made of any attempt to control the overall brightness or contrast of the screen vs. paper, neither in absolute terms nor relative to the ambient environment. Slightly different ambient conditions could easily result in either the screen or the paper appearing brighter and/or higher contrast.

The reasons to keep Russians wars in check has more to do than with morality. The threat that Russia will invade other nearby countries for lebensraum is currently feeling much more real for all countries bordering Russia.

The US is unlikely to invade Poland in order to displace the polish people with Americans. To some degree a war over oil resources feel much less threatening to countries than a war for lebensraum, especially for countries which don't have a lot of oil resources. Every nation however has land, and thus every nation is a target when a country like Russia is after territory. This is a big reason why a lot of countries around Russia is currently increasing their military budgets, loosing more money on that then any losses to the economy from not buying conflict resources from Russia. If you are pumping your money into the military, it makes economical sense to not fund the military threat you are defending against.

They both parse untrusted content content without any sandboxing.

A direct train from Zürich to Milan takes 3.5 hours, departs every hour from the the center of Zürich, arrives to the center of Milan and costs €30.

A direct flight from Zürich to Milan takes 1 hour, plus hours of nonsense before and after, departs 3 times a day from the airport, arrives to the Milan airport, and costs €550.

So passenger trains sound pretty competitive to me, at least short-distance ones.
> Decades ago, I read some article on how people with more than 30 IQ points of separation, effectively were incomprehensible to each other.

It’s more like “fundamentally perceive the world in a different way”, and generally leads to a lack of empathy towards the other group due to this difference of perception.

This is one reason why, at least until recently, US generals were not known for their high IQ.
Guess you can’t, then. Personally I’m a bigger fan of einops since the variable/index names can be a lot more self-documenting.

Thank you for the elaborate explanation. This is roughly how I'd imagine it.

It's unfortunate that we rely on opaque proprietary systems and informal deals between providers for what is arguably fundamental infrastructure.

It feels awfully hard to fix this within email without breaking the end user experience. Do you have any thoughts on how to improve it?
If I survive the cookie banner, I'm usually blasted with "subscribe to our email" popup half way through reading, then I definitely bail. When the EU collapses maybe we can redesign the web.
What is ThorCon? ThorCon is a molten salt fission reactor. Unlike all current nuclear reactors, the fuel is in liquid form. It can be moved around with a pump and passively drained. This 500 MW fission power plant is encapsulated in a hull, built in a shipyard, towed to a shallow water site, ballasted to the seabed.

As with any promising new idea for energy production, we'll see what the actual costs are once (if) it enters commercial production. Many concepts that work perfectly in the lab fail to succeed industrially.
