The Gottman Institute did a lot of research on the effect of accepting bids (putting the glass in the sink), ignoring bids (leaving the glass out), and rejecting bids (throwing the glass against the wall and arguing), and they determined that accepting a bid added one feeling dollar (my term) to the bank account of your marriage (my metaphor), while rejecting a bid took five out, and ignoring a bid took like ten or fifteen out.

TLDR: Ignoring someone, or causing them to feel ignored, is more painful than intentionally being mean to them, because even that is a form of acknowledgement or attention. Also, you need to keep putting feeling dollars in the bank because you never know when you're going to have a huge fight, have your partner check the balance, and decide there's no reason to keep going.
I am just happy that the previously siloed fields of operations research and various control theory sub-disciplines are now incentivized to pool their research together thanks to the funding in ML. Also many expensive and proprietary optimization software in industry are finally getting some competition.

There is only a small number of good mechanisms (such as the one you pointed out) in the world. In today's world this is a problem.

Windows 9x did as well. It was a cheap way for my brother to be able to go online without extra hardware like network cards: I'd dial up the ISP from my computer, and he'd open up a parallel-to-parallel connection. I had Proxomitron running (ah, the good old days of HTTP proxy as an ad blocker) and on his browser he'd set that up as the proxy server and be able to go online.

Sorry, to be extra clear, my point is that you will not get these results without such software, because photos almost universally require editing in order to look their best.

Hmm, the article links to the Linking Sigil at the bottom, in the links section.

But the rest of the article is concerned with how mysterious the symbol is, and how no one knows where it came from.

A clue: anyone can register a symbol for a surprisingly small fee.

A question: why would the sigil be mentioned in an addendum but not in the article proper?

Anyway, it's pretty obvious that GP had a premonition this morning, with a pay off.
I think there is also an environment consolidation that is driving this. People are very determined by their environment and experiences. Their art and creativity flows out of those experiences. They also respond to the demand for their art because they want the art to be viewed by many. With our hyper connected and globalized world, the environment that most people experience is getting more homogeneous. Likewise the immediate feedback of social media pushes people to only attempt to create art that will be well received. No more artists misunderstood during their lifetimes struggling to understand how to attract an audience. Just like big tech creates a winner take all market, big media and social media creates a narrow window of content being created and consumed.

And besides, if someone is out there making weird, novel, innovative and unpopular art, the algorithm will never show it to you.

As a counter question: why do men not recognize that these simple tasks make women feel loved and respected?

My own father is the perfect example of a man who cannot deal with these minor irritations. My mother complies with his requests and their relationship is maintained.

If you read the article, it's not that the irritation is minor. Of course it's a very small task. The issue is that the (often male) partner never chooses to act differently for the sake of their partner. If it isn't difficult to do the task, why don't you just do it? If your wife asks you to put the dishes in the dishwasher, why don't you just do it? It's not hard and will make her happy.

Obviously some people will have very unreasonable standards/requests. However, I think it's more common that one partner repeatedly refuses to do anything differently for the sake of their partner, argues about it, and then wonders why their relationship is so bad.
I think other studies have used Nicotine and other substances to provide an initial flush of feeling like you took something. That being said, "feeling drugged" is pretty dose dependent so plenty of studies could use a truly inactive placebo alongside a lower dose.
It depends on the threat.

If you randomly generated passwords like the first one you will get passwords like 'a'20 unless the system has a filter to prevent that. (My quasi-random passwords something fail arbitrary tests because they might be lacking a number or having a \ or " character that isn't allowed or something...)

Practically the 'a' 20 password is only going to be a problem if a password cracker tries it. Really I don't know what the state of the art for cracking is today.

Back in the 1990s, before shadow passwords were widespread, I used to try decrypting unix passwords all the time and used a few different lists. The two things that worked were the empty string and password same as the user name. I used the "Phrack 200" and another list of 8000 and don't think I ever got a hit.

Friend, the point of it being a “small” issue is that no one will ever be entirely wrong or right. Any issue that someone brings up will be viewed as trivial by many ppl, the point is to respect your partner enough to find a way to compromise.

Sometimes compromising requires thinking far outside the box. For example, buy this guy a in-home water bottle that he alone is responsible for cleaning. Give it a permanent place in a cupboard. Boom boom everyone compromised and showed the other one “I care about your needs”

So does flexible mean that there may be different amino acids in a portion of the peptide? From my understanding, when flexibility is discussed in terms of proteins we're talking about rigid vs flexible side chains which can move or rotate along specific bonds

So for the intrinsically disordered ones, are you mainly talking about the secondary or tertiary structures? My assumption based on your statement is that we're keeping the same primary structure (order of amino acids) but they don't have many (if any at all) intermolecular interactions? Would it be safe to assume that you're referring to shorter polypeptide rather than large proteins?

The basics, yes. A direct solar->Stirling path using a stationary engine and tracking mirrors worked very well, the next trick to figure out would have been to arrange for the mechanics and to scale it up a bit.

It's quite magical to see sunlight turned into motion without any intermediary.
It's mostly an aesthetic choice. The only benefit of the glass being in the dishwasher instead of by the sink is that "it looks nicer to her". There's no real harm being done and it does not affect her in the slightest. And there's a real deep, dark, ugly rabbit hole to go down if one wants to suggest that it affects and harms her by "being unsightly".

The more I think about it, the more I think the author is trying to be deep by being shallow. Taking something we consider mundane and transforming it into a grand life lesson. Creating a parable. The problem is that he chose something that doesn't work. I, for one, will not be buying his book.
Assuming "we" is USA, then you've done much worse than that - you've ruined quite a few economies and societies that would be perfectly fine if not for your involvement. And you are still doing it - see Cuba.
This is of course anecdotal, but I find many people (of all genders) like to complain when people don’t do it the way they want, and when they can’t micro manage, they get upset. If you just want it done then delegate. If you want it done YOUR way then YOU have to do it.

For example my wife always makes it sound like finding shoes for the kids is the same as planning a trip to the moon. If I say I’m going to get them shoes she says I can’t be trusted. I don’t care, the kids don’t care, but boy does it stress her out every time their feet grow.

"Crypto fans" never wanted centralized exchanges dominating the entire space. Cryptocurrency was invented to put an end to banks, not to create new unregulated pseudo-banks that are even worse than the previous system. You think we're not aware of the fact that exchanges have access to vast amounts of market information? They can literally bet against their own users on futures if they want.

We want deregulation when it comes to our money. We want the ability to transact with absolute unconditional freedom and privacy. These exchanges? Hell yes, go ahead and regulate the crap out of them. They are not our friends. They're banks. The biggest failure of crypto is the need for exchanges. We were supposed to mine our own coins and use them in everyday transactions.

I think you're right. A decade ago the hype behind the self-driving car made it sound pretty cool. The closer we get to having them, the more boring the idea seems. Each new model with improved driver assistance is just a small improvement over the previous model. When a true fully autonomous model lands, it too will just be a small improvement over the previous year's model, which will be almost fully autonomous. The day you can go down to the dealer's lot and buy a self-driving car for the first time will be a fairly uneventful day.

Like you say, in the days of yore the product cycles were long. It was many years between updates. The innovation that took place over that long period was significant, so it was much more wowing when all that behind the scenes work appeared in view.
I completely agree about efficiency. For managing solar's "duck curve", efficiency is less important than cost.

As solar gets cheaper and cheaper, the ability to mitigate efficiency loss by just increasing the size of the solar installation gets easier and easier.
> we can create methane at about 60% efficiency now

Do you have a source for that? Also, where does the carbon for the methane come from? With iron/rust there is no carbon in the cycle.
Once upon a time, I took a (by my standards) pretty large dose of mushrooms while rather depressed (although I did not realize it at the time). The trip itself was rather dark, but the next day, my depression was entirely gone, I was actually happy for the first time in months, and it lasted for quite a while.

The first time I took LSD, my mood was significantly improved for weeks afterwards, even though I don't think I was depressed before. But I did notice that things that normally annoy me tended to annoy me less, and things that made me happy made me happier. Again, this lasted for at least a month.

Considering how often antidepressants tend to be a hit-or-miss game (not to speak of side effects), I am a bit annoyed psychedelics don't get more attention for medical use.
Broadly, this is a GREAT point. I wonder if the author ever let loose with a loud "Why the f** do you think this glass is so important? It's objectively stupid and you're being ridiculous! Get over it, it's just a f**ing glass!"

> A corporation's fiduciary duty is to its shareholders, not to its customers

This is a myth.

Firstly, corporations don't have fiduciary duties. Corporate officers, directors, and employees who act on behalf of the corporation, have fiduciary duties.

And those duties (in the US, as far as I understand it) amount to putting the company's interests above their own and making responsible, informed decisions. That doesn't mean always putting the interests of the shareholders before the customers. Its a judgement left to the people acting on behalf of the corporation - as long as they can show that their decisions are reasonable and not made out of self-interest.

Edit to add: This is also the basis for Corporate [Social | Environmental] Responsibility. People with fiduciary duties can reasonably decide that it is in the interest of a corporation for it to behave in certain ways within some wider context, even when that behaviour is not directly profit- or advantage-seeking.

As with most things, the ancillary tasks are always the most annoying part of developing a language. Even if the language is just for yourself or a small group of people, you still need to build the tools around the language that make it usable and I find that to be the most tedious part and often the hardest part.

If you're getting hung up on parsing and what not, you might be more successful using a parser generator. People hate them, often for good reason, but they do allow you to iterate quickly at first.

I haven't used it personally, but if you plan on using LLVM I hear that is a nightmare to use. Probably would also fit in to the "hardest", "tedious" and "least enjoyable" category for you too.
I certainly don't do everything in a browser. I usually have at most 2 browser windows open (usually just one). For important browser-based apps, I just pin the tabs.

I actually find the macOS model to be more convenient (even though I didn't like it when I first tried it). It makes it very easy to switch away from an app that has multiple windows.

To be honest, I'm not sure there's an objectively better solution. I think it all comes down to the workflow and habits you've built around the model you use most often.

It's also pretty convenient to be able to switch between browser windows using cmd+`. I don't need to worry about getting other apps in between my browser windows.
I guess that, as most things related to using software, it boils down to familiarity. You say you managed to figure out Word's rules for when text will inherit formatting of the text to the left of it and when it won't. I believe you, I imagine I would have learned them too if I kept using Word. On the other hand when I taught Linear Programming I typeset lots of optimization problems and didn't Google anything, because I already know plenty of LaTeX. I certainly have googled stuff for LaTeX and found it is a quick and painless way of figuring out how to do something. This seems like an advantage of LaTeX, not a disadvantage as you seem to think. What do you do in Word when you want to do something you don't how to do? Doesn't googling also work there? And if not, that seems like a disadvantage of Word.

That makes sense if e-bike speeds are as high as those of motorcycles in urban traffic. The video narrator mentions reaching a top speed of ~60 (km/h?) on a commute, which would be similar to a motor vehicle and much faster than what you'd reach on a bicycle. Top speeds going from ~30 to ~60 would make it an entirely different game.

At least in some countries in Europe, e-bikes are limited to much lower speeds. Where I live, e-bikes must stop providing power at 25 km/h. If they don't, they're legally considered motorized vehicles and require a driver's license, are not allowed to be ridden on bicycle paths, etc.

I can imagine there may still be a higher rate of accidents on e-bikes, as the article says, but the comparison to motorcycles probably doesn't make as much sense in countries where e-bike speeds are much slower.
Russian is the second most popular language and the majority of top cities are in Russia. I wonder whether it reflects the real situation or the site is somewhat biased towards Russia for some reason.
You're probably right, but I'm not sure we've hit the peak yet. What I can't understand if why people can't accept that some periods actually are worse, and it's not a matter of preference. The fact that the music in the 70s was so much better than in the 50s seems almost obvious by any metric (diversity, modern airplay). It's possible that things won't hit again that density of output, like painting in the centuries after the Renaissance.

Broadly, I'm seeing this as being the age of "quality doesn't matter". The larger the market, the worse it is for you to be unique and different.

The great cultural product of the past usually had many cooks, that all had personality and a deeper understanding of the process (for music it was the studio musicians and sound engineers that added another level to the production, while movies had way more crew that often clashed with the director just to improve the end result -- like cinematographers and set designers).

Combined with a loss in intergenerational experience transfer, no wonder it's memes that are the most original of all contemporary cultural products.
I have not done this but I'd probably recommend not using that coffee grinder for coffee anymore :^)
