If it works, and that's all it takes, that's fantastic! But you have an incredible solution too it seems?

“sit in chair for 30 minutes everyday and be mindful of your breathing.”

Now this is great advice for everybody. Unless during these quiet times the weight of the world lays upon you, or your grasp over your inhibitory system is not sufficient to find stillness, never mind finding discipline of the breath.

What about the people who's affliction is not due to some implied lack of industry or effort? What if the problem is not ... sloth?* ... but actually a flaw in the brain, or imbalance?

I guarantee you that there are not a billion people who are gagging for psychedelics as a solution to their mental problems. The question is: Are they in fact a solution?

Prayer: Unless you are praying to some entity who publishes regularly, I feel this avenue has been tried and found to be lacking.

[*] I do not endorse this concept. I don't think you can just "apply yourself" and heal your mind, any more than you can do could with your lung cancer. Sure it helps, but we'd like to minimize the suffering, not endure as much as possible.
Interesting, mine are github, videohelp.com, and then ottverse.
I imagine that adds credence to the theory that it's because of Bing's index removing them - maybe they use a different index in India?
Thank you for this. It's been years since I've used GIMP, and don't think I've ever used it to make a circle, but my brain simply wouldn't accept that it was actually impossible. If not for your comment that would have bugged me until I reinstalled it and proved to myself that it can be done.
By this logic, every company that fails to meet its goals is a liar.
The big reason it tanked was privacy regulations from Apple/Android. That's not changing to favor Twitter and effectively took away one of their biggest revenue streams. That's a big deal for a perennially non-profitable company.
The real lesson I make of it is that we shouldn't use a cloud product or SaaS if vendor do not allow customer to request recovery or prevent the customer to manage its own backups. I know git is decentralized and no code is ever lost but github is so much more than git.

Backups aren't mean to recover from outages. They are also, and I would even dare saying mostly, used to recover from human mistakes. If the vendor terms and conditions don't allow this, github is not a production ready solution.
DDG is Bing, they use its API to get the search results. They augment it with other sources to provide the "value added" part, but that's a tiny part. DDG doesn't want you to know that it is Bing, but Bing is what it is.
I wasn't trying to say that it wasn't possible... more like it's a bad idea that complicates things for no good reason...
Sure, they do.

In fact, I take it back. ifdata(1) is not in any way a replacement for ifconfig(1) for most things. The problem is that just running ifconfig with no arguments showed you everything, which was generally perfect for interactive use. Now to get any information from ip(1) you have to remember an argument name. If you do this a lot, it's almost certainly fine. If you do it occasionally, it's horrible.
Twitter is "losing hundreds of millions of dollars every year" (I don't know if that's how we're using air quotes now, just following your lead), it is already circling the drain. No need to buy anything, it would be trivial for him to setup a clone and fund it indefinitely while it tears itself apart.
How small can you make a roundabout? Where I live stop signs are common at very small intersections.

Alternating two way stops (n/s at intersection one, e/w at intersection two) seems like maybe an ok way to reduce the problem by half at little to no cost?
Thankfully the same SEC hellbent on taking down Tesla is protecting you from investing in SpaceX!
> willing to offer more than shareholders expect to see in the forseable future

That is your assertion/opinion (yes, shared by many, sure). But it's not the only opinion in this case, and so I don't think the analogy holds.

Sure, I could see in the abstract times where an offer it just unavoidably good, and so it would not be in the best interest of shareholders to take it. But in this specific instance, there is a lot to be said on both sides of the offer (taking vs. rejecting it).

I would also argue that, depending on the purpose and goals of the company, knowing that a person intends to shut it down would be a reason to value existing (in order to continue carrying out their purpose) over money.
Sure - if an offer is greater than the conceivable return then of course you take it, but Musk's offer is less than the stock traded at 6 months ago and 30% below the stock's all-time-high from 14 months ago.
Helping Out Veterans – Psychology + Computers: Yes you can!
Sure, but then we're not "putting a wall around the problem" either. Like I said, I'm not agreeing with the claim, but your objection contradicted itself
Just don't kill me for that one - I want to speak out for a topic not everyone is capable of talking for or listening to certain subjects. Nevertheless please be patient if you don't agree with something: in the comments as well. The point here is to reveal, not to hide, especially in our sort of community where people can help and in many cases are able to assist, but don't know how. Or just are not aware that they're able or that they can.

TL;DR: Many times online aggression - is OKAY. As is.

My journey starts more than 10 years ago, back again at the time I've mentioned in my previous post (that exploded somehow after I said Thank You to HN). When I got accepted into the university 4 years before graduating from school, shortly at some point I knew that I will want to contribute back to community for fulfilling my wish, making it able to happen (I loved computers that much and wanted nothing more at the time than studying). One of the things I liked in the thought of "returning back" is the possibility to assist people from diverse background and allow those who are seeing or have been experiencing some, what we call today the causes of PTSD, to fully mentally recover and be able to raise to the top from the ground.

Such people include veterans, people who's been in hard background and former prisoners who have a risk to go back to the jail.

[TL;DR] With computer, internet and a screen you are capable of much more than building a website.

Have a look at a 50 day average and you can see their mistakes come to light. I've shifted off them recently.

I used to be DDG for everything, then it became anything non-work related, then on phone with FF focus, now nothing.

VPN and clearing cookies after browser close except for a few certain sites has replaced them.
The lack of context is a pain. For instance, trying to open a file that doesn't exist just gives the error "file not found" without telling you the path you tried to open.
It's Bing.
Why don't they pay taxes on realized gains?
Then why were they holding the stock the day before Musk got involved?
> I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same people now hating on them.

It seems like those people are still here defending ddg. They are even attacking the blog. Weird.

I use ddg as my default search and hope they are "privacy-first" as they claim ( thought I have my doubts ). At this point what other option is there? DDG search is noticably censored since they rely on bing. It's obvious to anyone who uses ddg regularly. Not sure why people here are making excuses for ddg or pretending otherwise. What I would give to get the google of old.

It's sad looking back on what google used to be. All the freedom and optimism of the 2000s is definitely gone.
That may be so, meanwhile the Russian troops are doing an excellent and very well documented job at self sabotage.
In the US you still get emergency medical care without insurance but then have to deal with the bill. Sometimes that means bankruptcy, sometimes its forgiven.
The elderly (65+) have universal care through the government account for most mortality.

So with those combined, it means the impact of coverage on mortality is small enough that its hard to measure. Of course avoiding financial catastrophe is also a good reason for some kind of universal coverage even if the direct health benefits are low.
No disease is a good idea. It is not like people choose to have them

And these cases are very recent, 2022. So based on previous data COVID has not been very dangerous to children

Like any good UI, it isn’t something I could immediately recall, but it is something I mostly unconsciously notice when driving. You can also look for signs, but it isn’t as trustworthy.
I wrote a utility like ts before, called it teetime, was thrilled with my pun. It was quiteand useful when piping stdout from a compute heavy tool (multi hour EDA tool run) as you could see by the delta time between logs what the most time consuming parts were.
Huh. I genuinely didn't know Solaris -- the closed-source commercial version, rather than offshoots like Illumos and OpenIndiana -- was still kicking around, but sure enough there's an "Oracle Solaris 11" page.
Counterpoint: it's not a downturn, just a return to reality. Tech stock valuations were sky high in late 2020 / early 2021, and even considering recent drops most are still above their pre-pandemic levels.
From hhs.gov:

>Most plans must over [sic] a set of preventive services – like shots and screenings – at no cost to you.

>For example, depending on your age, you may have access to no-cost preventive services such as:

And goes on to list many things but not an annual check up. And also notice “most”, “depending on your age”, and “may”.
"I have altered the API, pray that I don't alter it any further"?
>I don’t understand how any board can implement a “poison pill”, not just Twitter but Netflix and others, and not be found working against the interest of shareholders. Can anyone help me understand?

So let's say you put in a shareholder rights plan that allows all current shareholders to buy 10 new, discounted shares whenever a new shareholder reaches 20% ownership and for every share they buy from then on. That effectively dilutes that one owner without anyone else, and if they continue to buy it makes all the other shareholders much more money.

That's not always legal, but it would help the interests of shareholders.
Kind of mind boggling. You figure "surely there must have been a point at which being that change-averse bit them in the ass hard enough to modernize their approach" but... guess not.

In fact, one large banking system I worked on in the late aughts completely revamped their megalith of a back-end for a major component of their system and the only two things they didn't change were using AIX and Oracle.
This has been going on for long before the newer fancy language models. And it still is mostly simple shit, like crappy scraped content off of other sites (like all the product comparison sites).
It's also not just about $$. In your scenario, it's just negotiating. It's possible the Twitter board and shareholders are just unwilling to ever sell, regardless of the money involved. (I don't know if that'd ever be the case, just that is is possible, and possible within fiduciary responsibilities.)
If someone offered to buy your house at a 25% premium, would you sell? A house is a place to live at, in addition to having a dollar value, and so is Twitter - a powerfool tool to control speech, in addition to its dollar value on the market.
Wait, if some ETF accidentally exceeds 15%, then what? First of all, that'll screw over a bunch of small investors, right?

Second, could Elon swoop in at that point?

Edit: Also, if Elon is reading this, I'll happily buy 14.9% of twitter, and vote as part of your block. Just pay me enough to cover the sale and taxes, plus 1%.
> That sentence alone means you weren't even discussing this in good faith.

Is that what good faith means now? Being religiously part of Camp A or B?

The balance sheet speaks for itself. Incidentally Parler or his potential Twitter clone will also end up a toxic internet community. Who cares? I personally wouldn't use either one.

Certainly with Twitter already doing a great job losing money and alienating most people (almost nobody actually tweets and usage is falling) an alternative would split the user base and accelerate their demise and the inane concept of web micro-forums being worth tens of billions of dollars. Companies will simply decide advertising on Parler/Twitter is not worth the hassle.
Can you explain Musk’s trap and who is being trapped?
I'm sad that I didn't discover the Kuru Toga pencil until after I left school. I put them in gift baskets for friends who are students.
Yes. Large powerblocks will eventually go to war in very horrible and extremely large wars, but smaller powerblocks will go to war almost constantly in small but no less horrible wars.

Both are bad, the one is bad every 50 years or so and then millions of people die the other kills millions of people over the same period. We need better ways to govern or we'll end up killing the species one day.
We are the largest perennially unprofitable company to ever exist. The richest guy in the world offered to invest a fifth of his net worth into the gamble of turning our company profitable while making our shareholders a massive profit.

Instead, we poisoned the system knowing that the stock is all but guaranteed to tank massively reducing our market cap and hurting our ability to take out still more loans to continue our unprofitable venture.

But we're holding true to our other nebulous values.

They'll have a very compelling argument.
When I queried `What is the best way to crack eggs?`, my top result was a YT video with a image preview https://youtu.be/06zVBOvH_i0?t=113. So, seems like an OK result to me.

Are you sure your browser doesn't have some sort of weird extension installed that is overwriting the results, etc? Sometimes, I have seen malware installed on people's computers that hijack results.
Thanks for the overview. Guess I'm not surprised that the low-hanging fruit has all been plucked, hopefully someone at Valve fixes $RANDOM_GAME for me. :-)
"Provocateur extraordinaire"
I am not strongly against non-remote work. I am strongly against having to hang out with your coworkers after work. I think those two are different things.

We already spent enough time at work, I should be allowed my own free time to relax without feeling the peer pressure to be part of the team outside work hours.
Backup 1: Make a huge show of dumping 9% of the company at the lowest possible share price (that does not trigger any SEC scrut6). Deride the current board as inept and having no vision for the future of the company. Watch the price plummet and acquire the injured version for less than his initial offer. Admittedly that doesn't work as well with a 1 year poison pill delay the board just triggered.

Backup 2: Continue making Twitter polls that potentially steer/force the current management's hand into the changes he wants to see implemented regardless.
Unfortunately it is difficult to trust anything coming out of the Chinese regime, especially if it has the potential to make them look bad.
>It sounds like "the banks," who would be in an even more privileged position to know if the $420 offer was legitimately secured

Speculation. What's not speculation however is that the company suffered material harm as a byproduct of malicious prosecution.

If I, as a government employee, open a public investigation into someone whom I know to be innocent and cause that entity harm I have incurred liability. The SEC knew Elon had the funding, they used weasel words to imply he did not. The SEC would have lost in court. _All_ contracts have contingencies, this was no different. Saying that because a contingency existed the funds were "not secure" is horsecrap.
My concerns are more with chassis quality. Having a good keyboard means having a rigid body. Many reviews of Tuxedo mention mushy keyboards. Even the keyboard on the Stellaris, which they highlight, doesn't fair well in opinions.

I agree most OEMs are bad, but the specific ASUS models I've mentioned, along with Thinkpads in general, seem to have better keyboards. Sadly Lenovo is making them worse every generation (with less travel).
Maybe - it depends on the growth prospects of the company - if they were high anyway - then it is better from a capital gains tax perspective to just continue holding the stock until you need the money.
I will focus on your last three points as I think it summarizes the above examples. Generally,

I have two criticisms.

1) The claimed purpose of sate to allocate resources to the "Highest and Best Use" seems in conflict with the purpose of the state to protect individual autonomy and freedoms. Placing economic development and growth above the latter is essentially economic utilitarianism, and carries all of the baggage that goes along with it.

2) It models the state as a sovereign to the people, with overlying claims to any positive externalities of development, opposed to the servant of the people, who retain the rights to these externalities. I think this is apparent in the idea that the three value streams are unearned, and therefor belong to the government.

>Land and its value is the joint product of at least three things:

• nature, which created it;

-I see this as neutral, as this predates both the existence of the government and the people.

• government, which acquired it from other sovereigns and protects it from other powers and extends public works for the public's benefit

-As the servant of the people, the government is not entitled to the benefits of public works. These belong to the people, who commissioned the public works. By analogy, If a city builds a train terminal, the citizens pay for it once in taxes and bonds. The city should not be able to extract further value beyond upkeep. After investment costs are covered, the entirety of the benefit should belong to the people. How many times over is it equitable to expect citizens to pay for a project?

• synergism, which is the increment to value that spills over from social and economic activity in the neighborhood of each parcel of land.

-As I understand it, incremental value is generated by the social and economic activity of the people. It is the result of the labors, improvements, and collaboration with the community. It seems that the people have more collective claim than the government.

In summary, the people and the government have a working relationship. Is the model one where government behaves like a employer which entitled to the excess value after services rendered, or is the government the employee and the people entitled to the excess value after services rendered. I prefer the latter, and it seems LVT assumes the former.

> Lots of people used LSD in the 60s and 70s and as far as I can tell they didn't
usher in a new age of love, peace, and tolerance

There's a documentary on UK late 90's rave culture that noted that perhaps 60-100,000 people in the USA indulged in LSD during the period you mention. By contrast, somewhere on the order of 10-20 MILLION people dropped MDMA/ecstasy during the heyday of UK rave culture.

The documentary went on to note that there are a lot of professional, retail and public spaces in the UK that have been built in the last 15 years that show particularly strong connections to the "chill out room" vibe that became significant during the ecstasy+rave period. Even real estate agent office (realtors in the US) design is claimed to show many elements of chill out aesthetics.
Even if this is true, it is still just a dark pool, which is trivial to game. One ping is all you need.

I think the race to put order books on blockchain is misguided. Constant-product DEXes can offer way less gameable best-execution by simply trading more cautiously for the swapper.

Problem is, on Ethereum, gas makes it too expensive _not to trade_ once you get to the blockchain. MEV is a problem that can be managed effectively if the blockchain is scalable (thus avoiding gas problems).
How are you not getting that cyclists using a full lane on a narrow street are not breaking the rules, at least here in CA? And that even they were breaking a rule somewhere, it may be the right choice for their own safety, because the rules are mainly made with car traffic in mind?

I get that you as a driver may not like it because it's inconvenient for you. But that's no reason to just ignore the actual rules and preemptively blame cyclists for the outcome of being maimed or dead.
Funny that you would take this example since personal cars (as we know them since the Model T) are likely to become restricted to rich people in a few decades...

(Though I doubt horses would come back to replace a significant fraction of them.)
You've been corrected about "what DK means" in the other comments, but this is not quite the point of the post. This is not about if DK (as expressed in English words) is true or not — in fact, author points out in the beginning that it's one of these "everybody knows it's like that" ideas (as it often is with social psychology).

The point is, that the original DK paper is bullshit. At least, this plot is. And people tend to miss it, until they start to carefully read the labels and think about the caveats. In fact, as presented here it looks like it shouldn't even be accepted as a valid study, this is outright deceptive, maliciously so. If there is assumed to be a correlation between x & y, how about we start by plotting x against y then? I know, it may be messy. It almost certainly will be. Because of that, I personally won't even be offended (but some people might) by you removing the outliers and producing the unnaturally clean version of the plot in the end to highlight the main idea. Then some statistical tests to make the results quantified. But here we see nothing, it really is just comparing x to x.

IMO, this is pretty much the invariant of most of the problems of academic research in the last God-knows-how-many decades (maybe always was, I don't know). Computer science papers without the code. Data science papers without the data. Yeah-yeah, I've heard hundreds of excuses why researchers do it like that. But it's pointless, such "research" shouldn't be accepted by anybody. Either you make your findings actually public by providing everything to replicate every single step of your study (which is supposed to be the point), or you just don't publish anything and keep the research proprietary (I mean, obviously it's never black and white, there always will be concerns about test-subject anonymity, etc. — but it's ridiculous to discuss that when the accepted standard even in "proper" sciences are 20 pages of dense text which might never even get to the point of the study, i.e., actually showing the data to any extent.)
A full subscription management system is available on the Skeleton boilerplate
I run uMatrix and have noticed some DDG showing up on other sites as well. The sites in question appeared to be (at least ostensibly) using it as a "can I reach the internet" sort of check. If I blocked requests, it would say something to the effect of "no connection detected." I wish I could remember which sites they were, but I do remember seeing at least one call to improving.duckduckgo.com from a 3rd party.
I do this too and also sometimes substitute "reddit" with "forum" if I'm researching DIY projects.

Niche forums are still incredibly valuable resources and somehow their solutions don't revolve around me buying a product that the website happens to sell.
