Adopt the religion of biological age. ie, re-conceptualize your age as something that is correlated to your health, mortality and existential risk. Further its a number you have control to change. Exercising, eating healthier and learning more deeply about your body will give many options to feel better. The continued onslaught of scientific longevity advances will feel optimistic to your beliefs. Example: https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.co/
If the Russian invasion of Ukraine has taught me anything, it's that a) while overt Russian propaganda seems to largely fail in Europe, the more subtle suggestions are widespread b) most people have genuinely horribly bad defense takes c) there are somewhat more tankies than I expected
iBiquity (now owned by DTS) has never, to the best of my knowledge, open sourced their HDC codec, nor has it been reverse-engineered. To me that's a show-stopper towards any kind of widespread buy-in of HD Radio beyond commercial stations.

Also, authorities like the FCC take a dim view of FM broadcasting beyond miniscule power levels as seen in car radio adapters due to the easy potential for intentional or unintentional abuse. For example, a 5 Watt FM transmitter sold on eBay may have you thinking it will yield a small amount of power, but spitballing some numbers: outputting it through an FM band turnstile antenna atop a high building or hill could have an Effective Radiated Power in the 7 or 8 kW range, great enough to cover a small city in a round pattern.

Your proposed devices would therefore fall into that very low power range for certification but there would need to be some sort of clear channel hopping required. That's fine in rural areas but quite difficult in large metropolitan areas.
> I have lost my drive for intellectual and creative pursuits, though. I've got a point where I've already figured out all the things I was curious about in my youth and no more have been added to the list. It just doesn't seem worth it with nobody to share life with.

I completely feel you on this. And for months at a time I have been lost without any. Inspiration is hard to find, but it's out there I think. Competence plays a big factor. It's no fun to do things you suck at, but you've grown bored of the stuff you ARE good at. Basically I have to commit to a slog (like an instrument) until momentum is built, or find something with immediate gratification (like reading about a salient topic in my life).

In either case, it's just a coping mechanism I think, not a solution.

Volunteering makes total sense. I think we're really good at doing things for ourselves but that stops delivering after a decade of succeeding at that. Many people cite helping others as central to the meaning in their lives.
The arrangement described there is convoluted, but it's misleading to say they own the fleet. They (or an affiliate) do own the vehicles, but lease them to "independent contractors" who happen to exclusively work with Amazon and drive Amazon branded vehicles, but are responsible for things like paying for gas. Of course, Amazon won't let them maintain any sort of margins, so they certainly don't have much room to absorb additional costs.
I think, regardless of the value of the point you're trying to make, saying this in this context is callous at best. The comment you're responding to was careful and vulnerable, and if you read between the lines even a tiny bit there is pain there.

We all know what happened in afghanistan right?. Anyone who spent significant time there witnessed horrific suffering. Watched friends come back completely different or not at all.

"Negligible importance" to who? Not to the people who died there, or killed and have to carry that with them forever, or who didn't when they think they should have and have to carry that. Have a little compassion come on.
The last 70 years of (relative) peace are the exception, not the norm. Remaining ambivalent when a great power makes it clear they are intent on upsetting the balance on which peace hangs is clearly a "fault". It doesn't matter if that fault is the result of ignorance of history, it's still a problem.
WINE IS THE SYMBOL OF DECADENCE!
Alcohol impairs regeneration of neurons:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2796092/#:~:tex....
It has been disproved that we are born with a fix amount of neurons, in fact living a healthy life (no alcohol, light cardio, no smoking, 7-9 hours sleep) do help you regenerate more neurons.

So wine is a great equalizer.
Rich dumb people are paying a lot of money to be stupider. Literally.

So don't play that game. Don't buy wine, don't buy expensive traditional watches (my 25USD Decathlon watch has time,date,alarm,chrono, light and the battery last 5+ years).

Do buy property and assets. Buy ETFs and invest wisely.
The people splashing their money are headed down. You are meeting them in the middle because you are headed up. Don't follow them downstairs.
Avoid the decadence of dumb people inheriting wealth and thinking that's the way to go.
Come hang out on our #gripes slack channel for a while; it's one of my favorite channels. But core folks also regularly discuss negative points on the discourse board, too. In my recent memory (like, past month or so?) that has included private APIs, default environments, and (of course) precompilation latency.
It seems to me that openly invading a country is a rather unambiguous way to declare war. Compared to espionage, covert operations and such.
They can put a sticker over the price, which solves some of the problem. Some people will still be jerks and peel the sticker off then argue.
Oliver Stone has blood on his hands with that documentary.

People cite it as a source of ultimate truth, yet it's lost on them that Putin is far too clever to appear in something he doesn't fully control.
So you have no problem with Russia ultimately "winning" in Ukraine and then mass executing Ukrainians (like they did in Buscha and probably other towns) who don't want to be turned into Russian slaves and have their culture destroyed? You think NATO should roll over and let this happen when we can probably stop it by sending Ukraine weapons to fight back? Just don't care because it's "over there? I am just trying to understand this mindset. (Straddling millenial and gen-x age here)
> so they don't know what to believe. So they throw their hands up and give up and "let them sort it out"

This is a result of a common propaganda attack by a party that wants to cover up the truth: seed multiple competing story lines through varying outlets to create a sense of confusion. That way, when the truth is reported, people will react to it like it's just 1 more among the many competing stories.

Russia in particular has been running this play both domestically and abroad. It's a formidable approach, and defense against it is difficult.
What's your top source for discovering new dev tools and stacks?
The supply of homes is still super low. The interest rates deter some buyers but not enough to offset the supply of homes imo.

At this point, Nautilus really is just a file manager! It isn't the file chooser; it doesn't mount external devices; it isn't the desktop background.

If something is hindering one's ability to create an alternative file manager, there is probably a completely uncontroversial patch that can be sent upstream.
Younger people are so far removed from actual war that they have the luxury of being ambivalent about it. It's become easy to believe that war is simply a thing of the past and Americans won't ever experience it again. Ukraine is just pictures on a screen, nobody is going to drive tanks into America or fire missiles at our hospitals.
Not OP, but I'm surprised. So thank you.
> Overhead costs per unit decrease as a company grows.

This is correct to an extent, at Arizona's size it is wrong. It would cost them a lot to increase production.
Everyone is different. I can't say what will work for you, but don't forget to exercise, preferably outdoors. I started jogging because I was feeling down; a friend called and asked me if I wanted to train for a marathon with her. I didn't think that was feasible, but she convinced me and I started jogging. I trained with a running group that was made up of a large number of beginners like myself along with some good runners thrown in.

I started by running one mile, not too fast the first group meeting. I settled into running with other beginners like myself. As time passed, I would run about four days a week. One run every week slowly grew longer and longer and the other three runs stayed about the same sorter distance for my entire 8 or so months of training. It turned out it wasn't too difficult with an organization that set our courses and suggested runs.

I ended up losing weight and being in the best shape in my life at 50 years old, and I slept well every night. Importantly, it really changed my mood and I felt great. I had made new friends, had time to reflect on things while running, and had the satisfaction of reaching goals. At 55, I ran a qualifying time that allowed me to run in the Boston marathon.

I have had other friends that despised running; they took up swimming or biking. All of these can produce positive effects.
They probably have a police scanner running too. Should the public have that running as well to listen to all the latest news? IMO there is place for that and most people don't really need up to the second information on things happening hundreds of miles from anywhere they regularly interact with.
It's gone down since he's made it clear he will liquidate his stake if the deal doesn't go through.
> What happened last week is irrelevant

Information about a potential takeover bid is absolutely relevant, and it's generally reasonable to calculate the premium from before that news first existed.

What happened last week was information about a potential takeover bid.
The last one?

Let's go over the list:

#1. Efficient at what? And how do you know the amount of chaff is 80-90%? And exactly how do you find "effective" workers. Like this bullet point alone is just so hand-wavy and vague. Might as well have just said "Make twitter more gooder".

#2. This kills the twitter. First of all, no one is going to pay to read Elon Musk's tweets. Not for more than a month or two.

#3. What would "open[ing] the feed algorithm" accomplish here? I assume you mean publish the source of the algorithm so we can see how it works. Why? So I can run my own twitter? And what do you mean by "more control"? Control of what?

#4. I assume you mean fewer bans and removal of tweets. And I assume by "reduce" you don't mean eliminate. And I assume you don't want elimination because you recognize that some bans and deletions are necessary. That's a sticky wicket. You don't disagree with the action so much as the degree and/or the conditions of the action. This comes down to the question of why should your standards be preferable to twitter's?

And ironically, it's actually probably one of the easier ones to do. As I don't think you have well-defined definitions for efficiency, effectiveness, or control. Which isn't an uncommon phenomenon. It's like having a really good idea for a story/movie/series/book/whatever. As long as you never actually have to make it, the idea gets to be as awesome as it could be. But execution is the bitch.
Avoid alcohol. Starts out fun, ends up miserable.
I've always felt Twitter has been poorly run, it's almost like the people that work for the company don't actually use it often and are completely disconnected from the userbase. Remember when they completely screwed API users? Various Twitter third parties had to shut down entirely because of it. Twitter has some of the most valuable and useful realtime information in the world, but everyone there seems content on not using it for anything worth anything.

They even killed Vine, which is basically the exact same thing as Tiktok and Stories...years before both. Then tried to push their own version of stories, which was just awful. Jack and the current CEO seem(ed)s totally disconnected from any sort of reality going on with their own product.

Even Jack, while he was still in power, seemed confused by Twitter's own censorship/moderation rules at times. How is that possible? Moderation is also totally uneven with some accounts getting away with certain jokes (or outright threats) and others are completely immune to it. I personally love Twitter as a product, but it's so insane to me how the current CEO has his job, or how Jack was able to remain CEO for so long when he had clearly long abandoned it for Square.

For major news, no one talks about Facebook/Tiktok/Instagram...they talk about Twitter. It's so incredibly valuable, and it's shackled by sheer incompetent and complacency. If it's not Elon, someone needs to come in and restructure it and get rid of those holding it back.
Twitter Weighs Poison Pill to Prevent Musk from Increasing Stake Significantly
I think we wouldn't be clicking on this story if the original title reflected this.
There are levels of grey to open (e.g. free speech, expression, democracy) vs closed (e.g. prison for political speech, totalitarianism), but the US and EU are a world apart from Russia or China. I recommend speaking to someone (who isn't state sponsored as many Tiktok & Youtube influencers are) from that country to understand. Do not think that you will not be shot by a conscripted soldier who wants your stuff to take back to his impoverished family or that if you are it will make the world a better more "equal" place. Many Russians are afraid of the return of soldiers from this war (special operation?), because each time before it has led to more violence.

Having your pronoun misused by a teacher in school isn't right, but it is fundamentally different type of oppression from working in a prison camp in Siberia or Xinjiang.
That's all very well and good but aren't you arguing in a circle? You're essentially saying "since shareholders have absolute power over an enterprise, therefore they have absolute power over the enterprise". Sure, but we're arguing that it's not a good idea to have companies be immune to any public accountability or and democratic control. In fact we already do this: there are myriad laws that constrain the behaviour of companies: rules about financing, transparency, pollution, taxes, etc.
He could also try Internal Family Systems (IFS). It's way better than cognitive behavioral therapy, IMHO, because it's about understanding the parts of the psyche. This includes the helpful, not so helpful, and parts that make us do negative behaviors and coming to terms with them instead of suppressing them.

I feel like my IFS trained therapist is actually a professional doing skilled work helping me explore and understand my personality instead of just being a rent-a-friend like my previous therapists.
John 10:10-11 (Jesus speaking) "...I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

John 6:27 (Jesus speaking) "Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man (Jesus) will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal."

I'm sorry for your pain. God loves you. Seek Him with all your heart, whether you are in therapy or not, and he will open your eyes through his word and his Holy Spirit. His word is in the Bible.
> How can you call this peace?

I think you already know the answer to that. When the 20 year old war is mostly all about sending some soldiers over to the middle east to bomb it, then it doesn't really feel like a war. For people in the US who choose to ignore it, they absolutely live in peace every day.
Photographers don't tend to use regular file managers, either. I mean, previews are good and all and there are definitely problems here, but the photographers I know use tools like Adobe Bridge for a multitude of reasons.
Search was great in 7. Taskbar search - perfect. Then they did something to fuck it all up. In Windows 10, I get different results for the same search in Taskbar (that's how I launch everything, so if I type "Note" and open N++ a few times, that's it, it should remember it, which is how 7 worked).

Explorer search isn't even working half the time for me lol, either it doesn't show any results or the search bar is completely inaccessible. Fuck knows what's wrong with it, I just use Agent Ransack.
So what script are you running ?
I've been in the Bay Area for the past decade, mostly working for health tech startups. It's a weird world that I'm ready to fully divorce myself from.

There's a lot of arrogance, much of it unjustified. I've seen a lot of corruption or incompetence (sometimes it's hard to tell the difference). There are grand visions that get pitched that are so out of touch -- I can't tell if we need "forward thinkers" to be dreaming of moon shots, or if they're just full on delusional. There can be a lot of backstabbing and politics within organizations. Sure, that all happens outside of SV too, but I've never experienced it quite on this scale.

That said, the Bay Area also attracts a specific type of person that can be really amazing to work with. People who are smart, want to change the world, and unbounded in how they approach problems. I've found periods of my time here to be really amazing-- working with smart and driven people, going to meetups to hear from developers building the packages that I use, and enjoying the culture scene in SF. Often, I've found that golden period to last for 6-18 months before the startup has layoffs, or a new "commercialization" officer comes in and makes things horrible, or we hire one too many Stanford MBAs.

So, for me, it's been an exhausting boom-bust cycle of working on amazing things, followed by the company growing toxic, then I leave and a few years later that company implodes in scandal. If you do that cycle enough times, you meet a core group of people that you can just follow around to different companies.

In the background, though, it's really difficult to afford to buy a house. Dating has been brutal because it feels like everyone is trying to "date up". Homelessness and other social justice issues pervade the Bay Area and seem to only be getting worse. Fire season is approaching 6 months long.

I love it here but, personally, I think I'm ready to switch back to being a tourist instead of a local.
If the bid is accepted, he's going to want to build his own app store otherwise Google & Apple will kick the Twitter app off if his version of free speech doesn't align with their version of censorship.

Gab discovered this early on and pivoted accordingly.
At one point, Eddie Bauer (the clothing company) offered free shipping, but there was a handling fee of $3 per item. But woohoo, free shipping!
Perhaps you're an example of how its censorship spreads misinformation. I'm not really passionate about the Biden laptop, but my understanding is that the NYT did recently admit* that it was real and they had some sort of policy to report on it as if it weren't. If you believe the laptop story was a fabrication by right-wingers, is it possible you have been deceived?

Disclaimer: I have no confidence either way to the veracity of the laptop. I don't know that much about it and whether it were true or not wouldn't change my political views much.

*I googled 'NYT biden laptop' and the most legitimate looking of the results was a WSJ article. I don't have a WSJ subscription to evaluate it, however.
This is, of course, the Russian take on the war. The Ukrainian version is significantly different. (And given the whole genocide thing, I know which I lean towards. I mean really, NATO, the West, and the Ukrainian government is responsible for Russian war crimes? https://www.reuters.com/resizer/i8u1Zr3pjvon_ZDTHHfs5b6IwlE=...)
That isn't "anti-imperialism", that's just good old fashioned isolationism.

True "anti-imperialism" seems like it would imply some duty to stop imperialism done by non US actors.
At the end of the day we're all monkeys who have been biologically incentivized, since the first cell to ever exist, to survive long enough to pass on our genes.

As Dawkins covers in The Selfish Gene, sometimes this can manifest in abstract ways, like helping pass your genes by supporting your nieces age nephews (or even more abstractly, helping humans in general live on). You haven't mentioned anything in your life that is involved in helping create the next generation of humans.

In fact, you've mainly mentioned your journey has been materialistic, and even your solutions seem related to chemicals. Maybe the game you're even trying to play is what's inherently depressing.

My advice would be to a part of the world where people are suffering and try to help them, that'd likely give you the fulfilment and perspective you need.
Laws in the sciences are all components of models. Newton's three laws are a component of Newtonian mechanics, so are the laws of thermodynamics. Arguing semantics about what a law is is the least interesting aspect of this discussion, with that said you are free to use whatever term you want but should at least be familiar that in general the term law of supply, law of demand, and that much of economics uses the term law to codify a set of common observations that are used as the basis for further derivations:

The NYTimes and Washington Post have admitted that the laptop is genuine. conveniently 18 months after that same national election.
If you read the Lord of the Rings, you'll see quite a few usages of the word "amaze" not at all in the sense of "dude, that's amazing". It is not like reading that is some archaic text exclusive to english scholars.

I think it is good to be reminded of the higher quality meaning of words that are falling into bland generic meanings. Words do change and there's nothing wrong with that, but some changes are better than others and the degeneration of specific strong meanings to generic common place ones isn't something that should be celebrated.
I used to just take accusations of CP at face value, but knowing how entrapment-happy and truth-ambivalent the US Government can be, I find myself wondering if the killing of usenet wasn't just a part of the "hacker crackdown" and the crackdown on piracy. Piracy in particular is not something that most people had/have any real or natural compunction against.
terrible advice, how can he explore the world without trying things? just sightseeing?

try weed and different things, you need to build a strong character and that you can only do if you understand your limits well

you might as well understand that life isn't a real competition and actually enjoy your life, unlike people that will give you advice about career and work, but dread their lives.
if only we'd expand the scope beyond the nuclear family, we'd be a much better society
Twitter is for building an audience. Patreon and other platforms are where you best monetize that audience.

Putting both together could be incredibly lucrative but also would be treated very cautiously because of potential deplatforming.

Musk actual commitment to minimal moderation (what my mental model is for his free speech bent) could thread that needle and at the very least be a fascinating experiment to watch from the sidelines.
Given how much USD is held by parties outside of US, a big part of the benefit of destroying USD would go to people outside of the country.
I learned about skiving when I started researching building a watercooled PC. Optimus is building some nice heatsinks/water blocks in Chicago.
