Ok, we've changed to that from https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/04/13/man-who-never-wanted-.... Thanks!
Because it's a fallacy to think "change" is the purpose. If we cant fix the french mindset bar a terrible crisis, then the best to do is to soft manage the country like all presidents did since the americans showered us with money and made us believe we didnt have to work for it.

We could change, but how many decades of instability to move towards capitalism away from the nanny state ? Knowing us we d be communist before being individualist. I think Macron got it and is trying very slowly, that s good enough and I vote satisfied. Why always revolt and break everything ?

No. The parent comment’s viewpoint is fine, whereas your absolutist viewpoint is not helpful.

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter are what you make of them. There’s nothing to “present” if you don’t mindlessly scroll but use them the way they were originally intended: to keep in touch with contacts. For some people it’s just easiest to keep in touch with them on Facebook, etc.

There also a lot of good Facebook groups, and marketplace is very useful.

Being able to stay in contact with people is extremely useful. Cutting that out entirely out of spite doesn’t do any good.
Sure. Children of divorced parents are more likely to opt for divorce themselves, based on my sample. That is consistent with everything we know and expect about humans. Whether and how these apparently heritable differences are due to nature vs nurture is to me the more interesting question. Many in the lower class have imperfections that seem plausibly linked to biology rather than culture, like fundamental biological differences in capacity for impulse control, cognitive deficits whether congenital or epigenetic in origin, etc If someone is abusive due to lead exposure for instance, maybe them divorcing their partner capriciously, as a result of poor impulse control, may in fact be the best outcome for everyone. But what if these biological factors can be ameliorated through culture, say through meditation or more traditional means, then problems of nature can be addressed through culture, and perhaps there alone. That’s a line of thought that might fructify other progressive efforts to improve our culture, should the progressivists pursue it.

What does getting high mean in this context?

One additional thing I've noticed is that if you build technology, and it takes a while until it's ready enough so you can start making money -- then, your friends and
acquaintances will eventually think that what you're doing is utterly silly and that you don't understand this, but that they do.
This rang so true. I recently left a large multi-national aerospace company where I and my team had developed local processes that put systems engineering first.

Unfortunately our main contract was developing a component of a larger system being developed by our parent organisation who didn’t have a concept of systems engineering. We tried for years to educate them and I watched aghast as their program costs and schedule continued to spiral out of control.

Basically a bomb burst of engineers all doing what they thought was the right thing but no one owning the system design and saying no to good ideas.

In the words of their chief engineer “its like 10 different black boxes, I don’t know what I’m getting and I don’t know when it’ll be finished!”
Styrofoam almost perfectly demonstrates the issues of recyclability and suitability for food containers that also apply to plastics in general:

(Note that what we generically call styrofoam is expanded polystyrene (XPS), which isn't quite the same material as the original 'Styrofoam' brand of extruded polystyrene (EPS) insulation board. The commonality is the polymer they're made from, polystyrene (PS), which is also used as "normal" moulded plastic.)

Virtually no polystyrene foam is recycled (and most municipal recycling rejects PS entirely). This is because of the same economic unviability of recycling that plagues most plastics, just greatly exacerbated by the low density of foams. Similarly, the issue with Styrofoam food containers is much more immediate than microplastics in general: PS releases its toxic monomer styrene when heated, which just about makes coffee cups and fast food containers its worst possible use case. But the low price and insulative properties of the foam render it popular still in jurisdictions where it's legal.

Also: Rigid polystyrene is used in food containers, too (e.g., yoghurt containers and disposable plastic cups). And another popular polymer, ABS, also contains styrene (hence the recommendation for ventilation when 3D printing it).
I haven't encountered these individuals either, but they certainly exist. Class barriers are often considered in the abstract, but when it comes to physical manifestations of these differences, it can be raw and visceral. One photograph that stuck with me was the "eat the rich" [0] spray painted in Beverly Hills park during the early Covid protests.

Same here! Accidentally using most commercial restroom soap is almost an emergency for me. It’s even a problem to travel in a car with someone else who has washed their hands with it recently. If I get that type of fragrance on my hands I have to wash it off with unscented soap as soon as possible.
OK, I see what you mean, thank you very much. That's actually very interesting for me and explains some inconsistencies that I had attributed to too new/too old strings, badly adjusted bridge or whatnot.

How this used to work: You invite your friends to dinner, with enough lead time that they can avoid making other plans. They accept, or decline.
I can't stop thinking about this because on surface it sounds reasonable, but there's something off about the logic.

So don't offer aid because it will stop capital investment. But there is no capital to invest because people spend their days trying to stay alive rather than obtaining capital.

So the logic is flawed. You want to promote investment in a place with nothing to invest by not investing in that place.

But furthermore, you want to do it in the name of fairness. You want to give Africa the same market opportunity that exists in America. That logic is also flawed, because there is no opportunity in Africa. So you're just letting companies with preexisting status hoarde all the opportunity.

A marketplace of ideas only works if every single idea every person has is actively chosen based on analysis of alternatives.

Given that applies to about 0% of beliefs for most people, I'd say the idea has some flaws.

If you immediately reject that, you're not very open to external ideas, are you?

If you don't immediately reject it, you see how a market can be subverted to serve purposes that it was never intended to or constructed to resist.

Either way, the idea of a marketplace of ideas is paradoxical in the extremes. And once you acknowledge the idea needs to be softened to avoid self-contradiction, you end up back at the question of what constitutes abuse. That's the exact same question people are wrestling with now. And because it's inherently an expression of a power struggle, you need to be aware of whose power you're supporting.

I recommend siding against authoritarians and fascists, but that's just my idea.
This whole thing reeks of taking the easy way out and dumping the problem on the user. Why can't you analyze usage patterns in a controlled environment to identify the typical number of page loads?

You end up at a statistical answer like 20 hits to our home page equal 6.3 users, statistically speaking.
Interesting strategy. I long ago memorized 20C = 68F and then adjust in increments of 5/9, which works well enough for the range of temperatures I consider habitable. I've gotten so good at this I once translated on the fly between some fellow American and European runners during a marathon. :-)

I think your argument is conflating music theory rules with consistency and accessibility.

I agree that the naming and accessibility could be significantly easier. That's just the nature of language though, and music theory is a language. One that's a cumulation of many cultures.

However the rules (in western theory) are very consistent and clear if you've learned your foundations. This is no different than programming too.

If you know the circle of fifths, and the WWHWWWH series of modes, there's a very strong consistency.

Now if we're arguing about why fifths, and why we name our modes after Greek groups rather than something numerical, that's valid. But it's just like the names of the days of the week. Once you know them, it's just an arbitrary term that you internalize.

The rules I'm bemoaning in my post are things like sticking to a fixed time signature or scale, playing perfectly aligned notes. Versus things like polyrhythms and drunk drumming, exploring disharmony or using alternates to octaves.
So who governs the software doing this governance?

I think there's a difference. A Lamborghini is an extremely expensive car that people buy to show off how rich they are; they touts performance numbers nobody has a real use for.. but as far as I'm aware those cars really do perform as advertised. The specifications of those cars aren't flagrant lies. A luxury handbag isn't much better at holding things than a cheap handbag, but a luxury handbags (as far as I'm aware) aren't advertised with fraudulent capacity numbers. A very expensive swiss watch won't tell time better than a cheap quartz watch, but I wager they have as many gears in them as they claim.

Audiophile stuff seems to be different. If Lamborghini sold cars like audiophile companies sell cables, they'd be claiming their cars had 50 million horsepower and could fly to the moon.

Of course we can do more to have a robust economic ladder, but I dont think it is nearly as bleak and binary as people make it out to be. If you look at the actual data, there is still a lot up upward mobility. 60% of people who grow up in the bottom economic quintile improve their situation. [1] When thinking about the 40% that dont, there are a few notable facts:

20% of children in the bottom quintile dont graduate highschool.[2]

8% of men born into the bottom quintile are currently incarcerated.[3]

The traditional advice to children for how to be in the 60% that escape poverty is still true. Stay in highschool, stay away from drugs and crime, and go to college if possible. If poor children can do this, their chances of improving are actually quite good and not at all hopeless.

>>> * Some inside lights turn on when it gets dark IF no lights have been manually changed in the past few hours

>>> * Inside lights turn off later in the night if they were turned on automatically AND haven't been adjusted manually since

Out of curiosity, how exactly do you accomplish this? How do you make sure IF no lights have been manually changed or if the lights were turned on automatically? Do you use iOS ShortCuts/ Automations? How do you persist states in them then?

The motivating question, which I quote at the beginning, was actually: what is a chord? what is a major chord? what is a note? what is a first/fourth/fifth note? is there a 65th note? what is a scale? what is a major scale? what does it mean that a note is of a scale? what does it mean that a chord uses a note? is there a difference between a chord using a note of a scale and not of a scale?

A prominent "we aren't affiliated with Microsoft" disclaimer on the About Us and the homepage would go a really long way, before you have to start redesigning everything.

Beyond that maybe not using the Microsoft/Office logos so prominently would also help a ton, without requiring a lot of redesign. Or maybe adding your own logo to pair with the Microsoft ones you're using?

That would hopefully convey "we work really closely in the Microsoft ecosystem and are experts in it, but are a third party service that helps you find extra value that Microsoft won't". If I understand correctly, that's what your site helps people do? And also spelling that out in the non-affiliation disclaimer I think would be good too.

I really want the web browser industry to come together and form a new kind of P3P standard, complete with some example libraries for people to use on the backend.

Sadly, the browser market is dominated by Google, who has a direct interest in tracking people, Apple, who operates in proprietary protocols unless they absolutely have to, Microsoft, whose stalking exceeds even Google's at this point, and then a tiny slither of well-meaning but overall badly-managed open source projects.

Relying on the DNT header is difficult as "tracking" can be interpreted in a number of ways, especially by the data vampires of the advertising industry where they have developed many nice words to make their business so sound harmless. We need a better protocol, implemented across the board, for this to automate away these ridiculous popups. If a sufficiently flexible protocol exists, I'm sure it'll be taken up by either Europe's DPAs or even new legislation, though existing legislation should already be sufficient.

The EU should not, and generally doesn't want to, specify which technologies get used because technologies develop faster than bureaucracy. The hastily thrown together Brexit accords mention Netscape Navigator and ancient, insecure, outdated cryptography because they decided to include that in legislation many years ago and the accord was just a combination of existing EU and UK laws thrown together. We don't want that to happen again, especially on a larger scale.
Please forgive me, for I am actually curious about this:

Were you previously aware of the term "Kjølen" to refer to the (Northern) Scandinavian mountain range? And if so, when you wrote

> I have not heard of any Kjolen Mountains,

were you really distinguishing between Kjolen and Kjølen? Are you a native Norwegian speaker?

I understand that ø is a "distinct" letter in Norwegian, but to my uneducated eyes/ears it sounds similarly baffling to a French speaker not recognizing the "Pyrenees" because they're used to "Pyrénées".
You may have inner motivation. Some don't.

I've been down this rabbit role trying to find my inner motivation for half a decade already. I've tried everything, from recreational to prescription drugs, routine, exercise, nutrition changes, therapy, even became a parent. Nothing works consistently.

So when I find myself unable to be motivated, I just stack techniques as much as I can. I have a whole toolbox of maneuvers and mechanisms to achieve whatever I have to without any inner motivation.

It's the best way of coping with life I've found up until this point.

Database engine implementations sometimes work similar to this, being locality optimizing machines. Objects in memory can be moved and reorganized dynamically. Ensuring that references to those objects remain valid is not inexpensive because it requires indirection to dynamically resolve object locations and may require patching state referencing the object.

The performance impact is only tolerable for database engines because the context and scope is sufficiently constrained such that clever software design elements can ensure that the cost is applied lazily and expensive effects are avoided except in rare cases. Even in database engines, thrashing your CPU cache is a common side effect of not getting the design right. I can't imagine trying to make this perform well for general purpose software.
A CS degree when I got mine (41 years ago) was half and half though it wasn't called software engineering. Back then the "engineering stuff" was practical: things like programming, calculating latencies of disk drives and stuff like that. But the other half really needed a grounding in pure maths. (I'm British). I used to look at Computer Science journals and it was all pure maths stuff.
So what about something like:

* US charity that recycles US-hotel used soap

* The recycled soap is resold in US as a charitable item

* Profits from recycled soap sales are used to help fund/grow 3rd world soap manufacturers, or to help them lower the cost to make it, or subsidise the cost to more available to citizens of their country

I see your point and, I know it seems a little roundabout, but could this solve the issue?
