Important to mention that not only have we been at war their entire lives, but that they've been absolutely pointless wars of aggression that ended in a whimper for the US, and absolute devastation for the countries invaded. And as you said, we lost all of them.

Not only that, but we've been too ashamed to declare them. No one wants to take responsibility, just reap the profits. Young people are cynical about war because it wasn't inculcated into them as a religion like it was for Boomers. Young people are cynical about war because they look at it, see its products, and see its profiteers. They lack the poetry to breathlessly admire the beauty of our weapons.
I love this take. Refreshing to read. Thanks for your words. It has helped me slow down and enjoy my day.
IIRC he claimed that this was his only offer and that he would sell if it was refused.
Who gets to decide what's propaganda and what is not? You? The government?
Because it is not true. Or at least, that hasn't been my experience in the last 13 years I've been using it.
"The basic law of economics is that price is determined by BOTH supply and demand"

That is one basic law of economics, but in some markets price isn't only determined by supply and demand.

I think a similar/analogous example for the price on the can is minimum wage. Yes, in a lot of cases wages are set by the intersection of supply and demand, but if that intersection is below a minimum wage then the "price" of labor (the wage) is the minimum wage. Now there's economic implications of that too, but at the end of the day in the US you can't pay a McDonalds employee $2 an hour and a corner store can't sell an Arizona tea for $2.
I grew up as lower middle class, and so did my wife. We are doing well financially but we both have a huge aversion to debt which means we save and buy a lot of things in cash even when it's not an advantage. I know this is an artifact of us growing up lower middle class and dealing with the issues that brings. Many of our friends are much more comfortable with high levels of debt compared to income, but there is nobody my wife and I could turn to for money if we really needed it.

We have 3 kids, and eventually I want them to be able to take the financial risks we can't. I'd like to see how high they can fly when they've got what they need. I think all parents want that for their kids, even if it's not fashionable to say so.
GIMP needs a name change and a serious injection of money like Blender.

To be honest I don't understand why 'the industry' doesn't want to invest in this. They hated being tethered to things like Maya, I can't imagine they enjoy being tethered to Photoshop.
Finder is shite. I've had to use Mac OS for the past month and I hate it.
Do you have reliable evidence it wasn't a right-wing fabrication?
Your fact-free, example-free, and above all pompous line of argument is an excellent antidote to your own ideas
Telegram is turning out to be really good at this. Tons of Telegram channels churning out realtime info.
The problem with religion is that the vices of hypocrisy and selfishness are rampant in the people who claim to understand it. The problem with the people without religion is that they don't understand anything and are usually just trying to grift people. Both are bad for humanity, the former actually worse because they pervert the meaning of this beautiful universe and what this life could be, if only people would go within and find the help to get beyond their selfishness.

The meaning of life is to simply be happy, but we cannot be happy when others are so unhappy, therefore we must live our lives for others' happiness. Every act of compassionate service to those around us causes an upwelling of happiness within our hearts. Only by living in a service-oriented society where we look after each other compassionately can we hope to find peace and happiness.

This world teaches us that selfish greed with a callous, willful ignorance of the suffering of others, is the goal of life, but that will always -- I mean always -- lead to a miserable, empty life, especially in this world full of woe.

The journey of religion is to go within one's self and seek God's Will for our lives, to ask in humility to become an agent of others' happiness. Then you will be guided to the path that will take you there. Ask every day and every night and be thankful for what you have such that you become a kind, generous person.

And remember that that selfish, ignorant Peterson guy perverted the teachings of religion for his own selfish enrichment and power, and that he has no peace (not without benzos that is). You don't want that fate. We must cultivate our compassion and sense of worldwide community. It is not only essential for our species' survival (via global warming and the brutal fascists all over the Earth), but for our own personal happiness and peace.

> and deal with hundreds of pop-up ads. Web 2.0 was a strict increase in usability for every non-technical person I know.

I have no idea precisely what you are calling "Web 2.0" because in my mind, the technology elements of Web 2.0 outlined on the wikipedia page definitely have absolutely nothing to do with "getting URLs wrong", "forgetting TLDs". Changes from the same time period (around 1999) that were not typically considered to be part of "Web 2.0" were also responsible for a dramatic increase in the prevalence of popup ads. I think you're talking about something entirely different.
Have to agree. Just curios what happens to the whole thing if Ethereum switches to POS.
Yes and no.

Yes, we indeed used and afaict still use the thunderbolt for contradiction in my German university.

However "perpendicular" and "bottom/falsum" are two different Unicode codepoints with very similar glyphs.

I actually don’t think giant corporations are desirable. But that’s not the discussion people are having here. They’re claiming that Twitter is so indispensable, so woven into the fabric of everyday life that it’s tantamount to a public utility, like electricity or sewage.
> It's a real quality of life improvement + a feeling of freedom in that I can express my ideas, compose them with others all without worrying about a different compiler or framework or array type system or having to code units in c++.

As someone who spends 98% of his time in Python and the remaining 2% in R I'd love to switch to a more nicely designed, ergonomic, high-performance language. Adopting Julia at work is a nonstarter for now, but what really holds me back from learning it is how thoroughly academic all the evangelism seems to be. Most working data scientists aren't doing things like physics simulations and won't be terribly interested in solving differential equations; even in grad school the topic rarely came up for my econometrics research.

To put it bluntly: reading about Julia kind of makes me feel a bit dumb, not excited.

When I do work with neural networks, the networks just aren't going to be small because the value in them -- for the kind of work I do -- is in their capacity to use large amounts of data to find useful representations. So the benefit of Julia over PyTorch described in the link is only interesting to me in a "huh, I guess that's a bit cool" kind of way.
Arguably the first Gulf War. The US successfully protected it's economic interest and expanded its military establishment in the region.
I am a Musk fanboy. But I don't think he should be a gatekeeper for free speech evangelism. No matter how fair Elon thinks he is, a completely private entity or person cannot guarantee unbiased free speech. There has to be regulation and oversight.

So if Musk wants to take over Twitter, sure, no one's going to stop him. But let's not expect it means that free speech principles will be upheld. It's probable that under Elon's regime, Twitter might suppress anti-Tesla topics.
I was not claiming the contrary.
AIDungeon: been there, done that. It will become a battlefield of the most insane perversions and you know it.
Independent/private schools could be an option for her. The teachers at my son’s school seem to get the best of all things; work life balance, compensation, resources, etc. I feel they navigated Covid more thoughtfully than my local public schools as well and were very proactive towards planning for different scenarios that could play out. By most accounts I’ve heard the public schools displayed a low level of leadership and strategic planning to get ahead of even the most likely scenarios which caused nearly ever stakeholder a degree of stress. Probably teachers above all.
I tried to make my comment as aggressiveness as possible, but it still sounded harsher than I wanted.

I wanted to communicate to the other poster:
- You (swores), are probably correct about everything
- You (swores), and I, probably aren't buyers

There may be a ton of buyers out there who aren't us

There's this weird part of getting older, where the world doesn't feel so exciting and mysterious anymore. 35 for me is a great age to be lost. 44 is a great age as well. I am broke going to the foodbank right now and my world is so small and simple that it feels manageable. Went from 7 figures to this. I'm looking for work and some time soon I know i'll experience lift to my quality of life. I have recent chronic pain (physical and mental).

It all shifts when we share. Sometimes the hardest/most elusive part is acceptance but in that recognition, momentum builds.

I'm rooting for you!
Look at any field that’s somewhat prestigious but oversaturated enough that owners can pay poverty wages and you’ll find a ton of rich kids trying to live their dream! See art, film, journalism, architecture, political staffers. Can you blame them?

I think it’s important that young folks see this and internalize it so they’re not caught with tens of thousands of dollars in student debt in a field that ultimately depends on time and luck. You’re risking a lot more than many of your peers, and you’re going to have less freedom and energy to make it work.
My wife is in a similar situation. She's a middle-school teacher at a public school in a state that doesn't value public education. While she still loves teaching, her experience mirrors your's in regards to overwork, attrition, etc. For a job that should get off at 3pm, she routinely works all evening on grading, lesson planning and other admin tasks.

We also live in an area where teachers are poorly compensated relative to the cost of living. I'm well paid as a software engineer, which just makes her feel worse about the value of her career in teaching when she works longer hours than I do.

We've talked about her leaving teaching at the end of the school year with the plan to get her PhD so she can teach at a college level.
Look, I'm not saying everyone will agree with everything he says/teaches and you don't have to. He's asked about literally everything and he's no expert on Everything nor does he claim to be.

But, his core teachings are truly fundamental to all human beings. His core teachings are not about pseudoscience/politics, it's about how we maintain our state of mind and how we see the world around us, something the author of the post is severely struggling with.
All of it looks sketchy.
Not 10x. 146m vs 41m people… and a bigger percentage of Ukrainians are in the fight. Russia has only sent 200k troops to Ukraine.. ukraine has 500k active and reserve troops, not including civilians who take up arms.
There’s really no need to post yet another “crypto is a scam” comment on every single one of these posts. I mostly agree but it adds nothing to discussion and we’ve all heard it a million times already.
What am I discounting? If I got any facts wrong, let me know. Otherwise it's just that your interpretation is different. I know some americans have a very "you are either with us or with the terrorist" outlook to... everything but I can assure you that I'm not making any particular effort. Your hyperbole is duly noted though.

I agree that the damage isn't in the people that died (because they didn't) and that the damage is more towards the institution. The problem is that the narrative for a year has been to make martyrs out of the 4 deaths (not the fifth, for obvious reasons). Sure, now that it's untenable to do that I hear that the "deaths didn't even matter!" but that just makes the entire thing even more blatant.

For all I care, trump could've been arrested for what he did. Again that's not my point, my argument was mostly that the borderline hysterical bend to every single detail of that day
is a bit embarrassing. You can say that the president caused an illegal riot to influence or interfere with the electoral process and should be arrested, without going into "it's an insurrection and a coup attempt by armed militias trying to kill congress members and also etc etc."

It reminds me of when the conservatives were trying to do everything to make the black lives matter protests sound like an insanely violent anarchist civil war.
> Moreover cabinetmakers in the past often relied on cheap stocks of solid wood.

A luthier I met in Berlin had a large stock of wood in their workshop. I asked him what it was for, and he said "oh, that's my supply for the next 10 years, I add to it every year to keep it about the same size".

Granted, luthiers use less wood than a cabinet maker.
Given how Russia treats its own citizen and how the Russian state views human rights, I’m surprised anyone believe Russia’s claim that it’s defending its people.
Young person here: aren't you the dolts who lied to us about Afghanistan and Iraq, then just got chased out with your tails between your legs?

Why should we believe a single thing you have to say about going to war?
Dante is great but sadly it's proprietary. Low latency and allows you to replace a loom of analog cable with a single ethernet run.

There's Ravenna and AES67 (which I believe Dante supports), which are open standards but are not as common as Dante.
I did something like this putting Linux Mint on a 2012 Macbook Air. My only requirements were that it run Simplenote and Firefox... everything beyond that was superfluous. So I could take it and try to focus on writing, though of course 90% of my distractions are in the browser anyway...

It is a nice thing to have around though. I would definitely follow a "mono-focused" writing device or distro.
Never said I was. But neither you nor the government (nor me for the sake of argument) can decide what's propaganda and what's actual information.

Let people decide that on their own.
Yes, but it's "switch to a lead-free gasoline, but one that is different from the currently sold lead-free gasoline used in cars."

True unfortunately, but those instances are generally considered to be violations of the spirit of our system, institutions, and rights, at the least, if not also the letter, or exploitation of legal loopholes and technicalities, depending on jurisdiction. And we can publicly raise hell about it, protest, lobby, and elect reps who will work to fix it and close the loopholes.

In authoritarian systems, those instances are in accordance with their system. And while people there do sometimes raise hell about it, sometimes they're ignored, sometimes they're placated, and sometimes they're disappeared, depending on the whim, temperament, and calculations of whoever is in power, with zero recourse.

The two really aren't comparable.
It's stupid and unfair because only rich people could have a seat at the game table. Of course I did better than other rich capitalists would preferred to invest in a loosers, but is that really the point? For one guy earning millions, thousands are fighting to get a job that pays for food and a roof.

My point is that as inequality increases (since everything is being monetized, without no other consideration than gains and profits), we're making the system even worse by lowering tax rate on the rich. Note that I'm French and both candidates for the presidency intend to lower tax on the rich and privileged. It was already reduced a good deal by making marginal tax rate on capital gains from 45 to 30% (1/3 a drop!) and removing tax on high wealth (I would be over K€50 a year, otherwise). I'm paying far less taxes than I'd have under Sarkozy (whose was said to be more fiscal conservative than Macron… go figure).
Give a 20 year-old Russian conscript a gun and drop him in a warzone. Anyone not wearing a Russian flag is now a potential threat because he's in hostile territory. Then, at some point, the young man gets tired of all the potential threats and just starts eliminating them. At that point, Russian military as a whole is quite culpable.

A lot of Patreons and Substacks are very reliant on Twitter to drive traffic too- Twitter should have a natural advantage in the space.
Think about it this way – if Twitter shares were to rise ~17% from where they are today, would >50% of investors immediately hit the sell button? If not, then why would the same number agree to this deal?
Not really? There’s also personal liability if they don’t accept Musk’s offer given that the market (prior to these movements) valued the company substantially below $43 billion.
The Senate Intelligence Report was released by a Republican-led committee and clearly outlined the many connections between the campaign and Russia. That committee and it's findings had nothing to do with "the media", "left wing politicians", or "XYZ political enemies of Trump".

Yeah, you might even get away with using neo4j at that scale, which has an API people like even if it doesn't handle bigger graphs well.
correct. if you downvoted the previous comment, would you mind sharing why?

if ordered proteins are not in fact easier to understand than ID ones, it would be helpful to understand why.

Healthy skepticism is important, but I have so far been amazed at how much of the information circulated by the Ukrainian govt has ended up being independently validated. Much of what ends up on reddit is nonsense, but I have begun to trust the govt reports, as so far they seem to be less a distorted picture and more an up to date one.

Covid lockdown was a terrible time for me as well.

In my country, the lockdown was total, for months the only reason I left the home was to buy groceries.

What saved my mental health was, surprisingly, simracing.

Not so much the activity of simracing, but more than that, for the people I met along the way, some of whom I consider now my best friends.

The feeling of belonging to something is wonderful, and I can argue is much better than any pills you can get.
If trading hacked emails wasn't illegal, you'd have legitimate and big businesses trading them. You don't see any businesses like that because it is infact illegal.

As someone else mentioned, an 'access device' actually refers to many things, including emails. You have an extremely poor understanding of the law if you even remotely think that trading hacked emails would somehow be legal.

Software engineering education is a good job market right now and (I believe) has better pay and working conditions than public sector teaching. If she’s up for that path, she could learn some technical skills and then teach them.

I’m probably the wrong country (UK) to help directly but I lead a team of technical educators and happy to have a chat about the path of useful. Email in bio.
I'd also clarify that emergency room services being treat first, bill later is itself a form of insurance. A decent chunk of emergency room costs are never paid by patients and end up being paid by... actually I'm not certain, but either private hospital corporations or the government. However, that is only for the initial triaging treatment. If, for instance, you are stabbed in the belly and some emergency patch work is done to stop the majority of internal bleeding and some antibiotics are issued with a scheduled regimen over the next few months to prevent sepsis then there is a limited supply you've gotten by the grace of emergency treatment but if your supply runs and you're unable to afford more at the pharmacy out you'll need to return to the emergency room to secure more meds. Emergency rooms regularly serve as extremely expensive pharmacies, but they're pretty busy places and the care you're seeking could be delayed and that delay can result in a perfectly treatable infection developing to the point of a mortal wound.

While everyone in America can receive emergency treatment no questions asked it isn't necessarily going to happen very quickly and can result in more health issues than being able to pursue medical care through more standard means.

Wealth distribution is not the same as class conflict, it's an effect of it, but yes class division has existed since civilisation began (not so much beforehand though).

In feudal times it was between the aristocracy and the peasantry, now it's between business owners and investors, and employees.
Yes. I would have designed contracts as decision tables.[1] Those are not Turing-complete. They look more like spreadsheets. They have a finite number of cases and can be exhaustively tested.

In the context of short term lettings, it is actually a fairly logical thing, because there's a fairly constant overhead per new letting (admin of a new customer plus the cleaning).

It also incentivises longer stays, which is obviously in they interests to make it disproportionate, so I'm not saying that there's no ulterior motive, but it's not axiomatically unfair to reward longer lets (or penalise shorter lets) that don't incur so many one-off costs.

Do you play golf? This question sounds flippant but in all seriousness I took it back up after a long hiatus a couple years back (I'm the same age as you) and it has been completely cathartic and stress relieving. I find it to be like a walking meditation. I often play as a single and meet great people, have great conversations and generally have a great time.
