1. It is not ‘always women’. Men are also rankled by such things.

2. Women have to deal with the pressure of feminism. For example: I like to cook. I love feeding people and don’t think of it as chore that oppressed women, but I have friends who will not cook(and I know they don’t hate cooking) because they have to make a feminist point.

3. I grew up in India and there is a very vibrant food culture. To be able to cook well is a feather in the cap. It is not so in the states and after I moved here, I was amazed that even those who absolutely loved cooking back home were acting like kitchen work was slavery.

4. Again from an Indian immigrant perspective: There is a weird resistance to obtaining hired help in America. Even middle class homes have hired help in India. These days, even in the states, Indian households will pay someone to help with laundry or cutting vegetables for cooking or just household help.

After apps like Nextdoor etc have come up, it’s easier to find help. Interestingly, the house help is often other women in the same neighborhood who want to make a few extra bucks. But I don’t think it’s about the money as everyone is usually in the same social strata in any neighbour hood. It’s about company.

5. Women need female company. We are just slightly different looking female apes. Women need to be social with those they don’t compete with..and girlfriends are always competing. It’s hideous living 24/7 with men. In nuclear families, there are no other female figures. I grew up with a large extended joint family. We had 3-4 generations of women under one roof. There is an age based hierarchy.

6. Contrast that to modern nuclear families with only one adult head female. For working women, it’s worse because they have to go to work and compete with both men and women. There was clear division of labour and enough people to carry out the tasks in my large joint family.

7. Speaking for myself and specifically about kitchens: The kitchen is my domain in my house. It is a matter of control because it is a matter of pride. Because I am the one who is cooking, if I don’t have a kitchen that is organized, I can’t do my job properly. I expect the knives, glasses and cutlery, spice jars and plates to be where I expect them to be…when I cook I am not thinking, I am ‘reaching’ for that familiar nook where I expect to find the salt or the spoon. Cooking is fast and involves heat. I don’t have time to scuttle about looking for things or dinner would be burnt.

It is the same with a chef in any professional kitchen. My 2c.

People need to be careful with psychedelics. The afterglow wears off pretty quick. I’ve met many people for which psychedelics actually reinforced “negative” aspects of their person…except now they believe to be enlightened from their trips.

After dozens of trips myself, one of the things I’ve learned is that these drugs induce the feeling of profundity. The experience of a trip FEELS profound, regardless of the actual content of your thoughts. Sometimes it’s great! — When your new idea or outlook is truly beneficial for yourself and others. Not everybody gets that. My cynicism has been magnified.

When I got my first Internet connection at home (kinda late as I was "big times" into BBSes before that), I was already using Linux. But we were too cheap to have a network at home so... I'd use "PLIP" (parallel port IP) to share our Internet connection between me and my brother: a parallel cable between my beige PC (a 486? Pentium? Don't remember) and a crappy old laptop. And so the two of use were simultaneously using Netscape or something.

It made me sad when computers starting shipping without a parallel port: I mean... Even laptop had these back in the days!

Yeah. Bitcoin for example has rich lists: we know the addresses of whales and can track their movements via the blockchain. Some rich person suddenly moving hundreds of thousands in bitcoin to an exchange can be a potent sell signal.

He intentionally violated the law. Sure, one may consider the law stupid but one should expect to be punished if one blatantly violates it. That’s how laws work, he’s not imprisoned by the whim of a king.

It would be more stupid to violate the law and expect no negative repercussions. There are more constructive ways to reform laws than openly violating them.

What's being described in the study is not self-reflection but serotonergic psychedelics' effects on the 5-HT2A receptors in the brain. For example, escitalopram (Lexapro) may help with self-reflection as well but this study was specifically studying patients with treatment-resistant depression.

Second, the script we used provided both the "mark for deletion" capability used in normal day-to-day operations (where recoverability is desirable), and the "permanently delete" capability that is required to permanently remove data when required for compliance reasons.

Freedom of speech is meant to preserve democracy domestically, not be a free for all to aid enemies for profit. Any sane state, including free democracies, would prohibit residents from teaching rogue enemy nations how to avoid sanctions.
Can someone explain the use case of this? How does this differ from holding your crypto in some wallet and having a Mastercard credit card?

I understand someone might want to borrow against their crypto holdings, but this seems like an odd way of doing it.
Ermmmm not here. When you can afford to tango with them, they don't take surprising constitutional views actually. That part is in your favor. Its more about affording to get that far, in other cases. This case isn't one of those? He wasn't charged for the speech, he was charged for violating a travel and business sanction after explicitly asking for an exemption and being denied. He went out of his way to hop over barriers placed by the government, and got charged for hopping over after telling the government he was interested in hopping over. They watched him hop over, they didn't charge him for the speech he gave after hopping over. Hopping over isn't a constitutional right.
This is wrong. Caring about the environment doesn't require accepting different crypto. And certainly promotion isn't required either.

> but his work was exploring how digital systems can help bring peace to the world, and he thought a good place for that to happen is NK

Except that North Korea uses that money to build nuclear weapons. Sanctions are the only reason North Korea doesn't have a nuclear arsenal with ICBMs that it can used to threaten the entire world. Giving North Korea access to more money is not good. It does not promote peace.

Locking him up does plenty of good. It means that someone who would help a ruthless dictator build up weapons that could end the world, is not out there doing it.

> For comparison here is a company that actually facilitated NK building Nuclear Weapons, 145 violations of the law , they got fined $15k more than Virgil and had no jail time.

Let's read the article. TD processed $300k. That's.. nothing. I'm sure Kim spends that much on wine every month.

This person was trying to give North Korea a roadmap by which it could evade sanctions with as much money as it wanted. That's far worse.
High risk score means you’re under scrutiny. Once you’re under scrutiny every minor thing that goes wrong or is unclear is by default assumed to be fraud and you get slapped with (often outrageously high) fines, payable immediately. You can only appeal after the fact, so you’re drowning in debt even before the first judge looks at your case.

That is assuming a judge gets anywhere near your case. This often didn’t happen because access to the law is made extremely difficult in the Netherlands (on purpose). The people this affected mostly did not have the skills to find their way in the Dutch legal system so they were ruined.

All of this is by design, by the way: the system assumes ill will by default, spends an inordinate amount of resources on detecting it and punishes it severely all because being tough on fraud polls well.
The practical working distance is why I like the four-thirds system for macro. With a 50mm 1:2 macro lens on a micro43 body you can work at a distance of 10-25cm from the lens front, so you can sneak up on bugs, and on this format you can get a useful depth of field with more than a few atoms in focus like you'd get on a larger format.
> If something is minor for you ... change yourself.

On the one hand, I think this can lead to ruin in its own way. It cedes all ground to the most neurotic or controlling partner. It breeds resentment in the one who has to make all the concessions. Instead, I would suggest that these conflicts should be resolved explicitly and deliberately. Sometimes that will lead to one person reminding themselves to put the glass in the dishwasher. Sometimes it will lead to the other person reminding themselves that it doesn't matter. Either way, as long as it's a resolution that is mutually agreed and balanced with all of the other minor concessions that each is making, I think it's OK.

On the other hand, a variant of this is a good rule even in non-intimate relationships. If something takes you trivial time or effort, and means a lot to someone else, DO IT. Even for a total stranger. It increases the total "good karma" (but without the moral weight) in the system. Sooner or later, if enough people keep doing it, some of that will come back to you. Something that might have seemed onerous becomes less so because of someone else's minor generosity. IMO the fact that this isn't a common habit, that it's even discouraged by the dominant "everything should be strictly transactional" dogma (ignoring actual results from game and complexity theory), degrades life a bit for everyone.

P.S. Lest anyone claim I'm being inconsistent, changing yourself is hard. It's not a minor effort, like taking one moment to do someone a small favor. They're very different scenarios.
> Hitler was also democratically elected.

No. NSDAP did not win once in free elections. He got into power only after subverting the election system in a couple of ways.

> That's also democracy, literally.

Pogroms are also democracy, literally. The majority decided that Jews ate Christian babies, and acted to end the great evil.

When we, in the so-called West that I also feel a part of, say "democracy" - we mean also the "rule of law". The idea that you can do anything as long as 50% + 1 person agrees to it is not democracy in the Western sense.

> Also, what you call a coup did not install a new government.

That only means the coup failed, not that it didn't take place.

> The parliament was still the same. All MPs who didn't flee remained MPs.

If enough MPs flee to make it impossible to govern, the Parliament should dissolve itself. Instead, it chose to remove the President using unconstitutional means. I don't know what else that Parliament did, but whatever it was, it could have waited until the elections, which would happen quickly after dissolution.

> Finally, a new president was _elected_ very shortly (given the circumstances).

Sure. Nobody says otherwise. The problem is the time between the riots and new elections. The riots that cost more than a hundred dead are also a problem. In democracy that upholds the rule of law, fighting and killing 18 police officers is a crime, no matter how morally justified it was.

Like the GP, I believe Putin is bad and Russia is an aggressor, and all of that. This war is wrong and Ukrainians are brave people. However, the Euromaidan was not a win for democracy. It was not the right thing to do in a democratic country. Here in Poland we managed to peacefully replace the communists in '89-'91. Nobody died back then. No riots happened. No violence broke out. Precisely because we aspired for democracy, even if the other side had blood of workers on their hands. If we could do that peacefully, then Ukrainians could have ousted Yanukovych without 100 people dying, and more than a thousand people getting seriously wounded. Instead, they chose to resort to violence.

I'm not pro-Russia. It would be suicidal for me to be pro-Russia. I'm not saying the current or previous governments of Ukraine are illegitimate. All I'm saying is that Euromaidan is not something anyone should be proud of. The goals do not justify the means. Killing is a crime. Violence is bad. Just because the violence was done in the name of anti-Russia sentiment does not make it less bad.
Darn, you beat me to it! I just posted a similar comment. I also had some old Toshiba laptop and I'd use PLIP between that laptop and my PC. I don't remember it being particularly slow though: but it was many moons ago so...

> but his work was exploring how digital systems can help bring peace to the world

Surely nobody is that naive? Wars and sanctions aren't a technical problem that can be "solved" with a "digital system".
It's really about who invests money. Say if you're a large country that wants an independent supply of CPUs that can't be sanctioned, ARM/x86 isn't going to be where you invest
Most likely the database tables themselves are just a mixture of everyone's data. There's no true multitenancy. So they have to load the backups into a separate database. Then just go through and individually select/insert into the old database. And then you have to worry about things like foreign key constraints complicating the bulk data loading. Are you going to disable constraint enforcement while you bulk load the data? How does that affect existing and new data from customers using the database? Just a guess. But this sounds like a nightmare honestly.
> I understood the article as saying that she was communicating her issues

She wasn't. She was at best hinting - again, something pretty much every communications book says not to do.

> "Hundreds, maybe thousands of times, my wife tried to communicate that something was wrong."

He doesn't go into details, but it's usually one of two things:

1. Nagging over what seems to be minor issues, and he is supposed to realize that there are deeper issues underlying.

2. Saying explicitly that something was wrong, but not saying what.

In both cases, she is lacking the communication skills to say what is wrong, and he is lacking the communication skills to make the path easier for her to say it.

He says this:

> The reason my marriage fell apart seems absurd when I describe it: My wife left me because sometimes I leave dishes by the sink.

The question is, how does she describe it to her friends? I doubt she says "I left my husband because he sometimes leaves dishes by the sink." And did she articulate that to him before it was too late?
"Hundreds, maybe thousands of times, my wife tried to communicate that something was wrong. That something hurt. But that doesn’t make sense, I thought. I’m not trying to hurt her; therefore, she shouldn’t feel hurt.
...
There is only one reason I will ever stop leaving that glass by the sink, and it’s a lesson I learned much too late: because I love and respect my partner, and it really matters to them."

wow.... this isn't a marriage lesson, it's a basic human etiquette lesson. Listen to what someone is telling you and try to see things from their perspective. At least the author does call out their own immaturity with respect to this:

"I think I believed that my wife should respect me simply because I exchanged vows with her. It wouldn’t have been the first time I acted entitled. What I know for sure is that I had never connected putting a dish in the dishwasher with earning my wife’s respect."

IVPN has wireguard multihop since a while I believe: https://www.ivpn.net/knowledgebase/general/what-is-a-multiho...

While that's technically true, when we use the word "bread" we generally mean this (Western?) kind of bread. For the Indian kinds of bread we normally use roti. In everyday contexts, if someone says bread, it almost always refers to the kind of bread pictured there.

I see how big media will only show mainstream content: they are the mainstream.

But what about user-curated content in communities such as Reddit? These are vote-based, not corporate-algorithm-based. I suspect you can find worthy unorthodox art there.

And of course if you need non-mainstream content, you have to actively look for it, and always have had, practically by definition.
If customers are inconsistent, get buy-in from the people who sell -- if your example is home buying, you would get real estate agents on board. Even if the agents are what you are trying to replace, you still get them on board by letting them sell through your solution instead of their old one. In short, look for who you can collaborate with instead of who you can sell to.

I met Virgil at an academic workshop back in 2014. We went out in Amsterdam. He was a weird guy, to say the least (he’d probably be the first to agree). He was generally quite affable and obviously highly intelligent.

He’s an idiot for this fiasco. But it’s also sad to see him in jail; I don’t see how this benefits society in any way. Five years in prison seems like a disproportionate punishment for an arguably victimless crime. None of us is safer today because Virgil is in prison.

My journey of managing my dotfiles is still early days, but I have mine hosted in a private github repo.

Not really; expiration dates are printed on food (including canned food) because customers want them. Manufacturers are responding to, not attempting to drive, customer demand.
