I was genuinely sad to find out that the guy died a while back, but then was relieved to find out that it was just a meme and that he's still alive.
Looking at what's happening with Germany I suspect the EU would dearly love the UK back involved.

It's quite noticable that the doom-porn regarding Brexit has now died down. It's gone from 'the shelves are empty' to 'person's passport was rejected'.
This makes me smile. I have been maintaining a personal ( and sometimes business) website for over twenty years. I feel sort of responsible for keeping that 90's vibe alive.
Early in my software career, I was debugging a compiler problem. Version X worked, version X+1 did not. I debugged by tracing both step by step, in two gdb sessions, looking for when behavior diverged. Pure torture, and that was an extremely simple case -- the processes were not communicating in any way.

All the usual problems, but doubled. Oops, I stepped too far, start over. Oops, the other one stepped too far, start over. Oops, start over, oops, start over.

Never again.
I'd suggest contacting the authors or just downloading Godot itself as all the UI is the same as those people are using.
Profit motive is so primitive and so one dimensional constrained and yet it somehow mesmerized so many thinkers that we build build "golden idols" in praise of it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charging_Bull).

I do not believe that this is it - there have to be other better constrains combinations. It just that there is so much vested interest in current system that no one will dare to contest it enough to really try something different.
If you honestly believe this, then you are dismissing nearly all experimental biology. This is a reason why scientists wanted to keep CLOSED journals, because of the lack of interpretation by the wider world. Not all publications are the final word, it's a model.

Search my comment history for a deeper dive on this one. It's not a productive reply. You might not like it, but that is the state of the art. Animal models are 100% a valid way to do things.

Also ITT: HN figures out that natural childbirth involves poop touching a newborn. Cmon, seriously? How do you not know this?
This is the best business-related article I remember reading ever. It focuses exactly on what I have been feeling being wrong about how we lead our businesses and more importantly, ourselves. In hindsight, it’s obvious: I’m always at my most creative when I’m not trying to do something, but I only manage to achieve that state of mind when on vacation. Other times, I keep trying to do things.

One would think that a life-long fascination of zen buddhism would have taught me that already but I guess not.
Also the unification of Ireland might be closer than ever.

Sinn Fein, the former political wing of the IRA, won elections in North Ireland yesterday:

https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/northern-ireland-poised-wat...

I don't pretend to be an expert on Irish politics. It's unclear to me whether the Republic really even wants North Ireland given its lackluster economy. Maybe it's easier to have London keep sending billions there.
That sounds like an outlier experience. I’ve used dozens of banks over my lifetime and never had a bad experience except this one time the teller accidentally added a few dozen zeros to a check I deposited.
The organs are far from sterile, whole pathways are very close, there is a lot of pushing beyond control which uses sort of same muscles... it doesn't mean every natural baby is born with big poop on their head (mine weren't), but these transfers do happen. You don't need that many bacteria to make it work, infant's intestines are a sterile place at the beginning so not much competition and food for them starts coming soon.
The seller doesn't have to accept one of the offers, they can ask bidders to rebid or just let it sit on the market longer. If they got a lot of offers clustered around $700k, they might take the best (which might not be the largest, if there's a difference in contingencies), or they might try to get everyone to rebid, or maybe just the lower bidders to try to go back and forth. Of course, asking for a rebid usually means not accepting the firm bid, and there's a risk of putting off the potential buyers.

I assume they mean numbers that form an alliteration when spoken.

There is so much tension between Germany/France vs. the rest of the EU. If you're a struggling small nation in the shadow of Russia, membership in EU is great.
Sometimes I have intelligent conversations about stuff that matters to me. I really like that.

Admittedly, it can be like sifting a public beach for pennies.

And 99.999% of the time I end up talking to people who can't see a paving brick if it's wedged under their eyelid.

But I suspect that a really eloquent style can penetrate even the thickest. Well, I suspect it less lately.

And I just like talking to people.

What's the mechanism here?
> Boris didn't necessarily like big spending...

Not sure that’s true. One of the first things Boris did after Brexit was start pushing hard on infrastructure spending with projects like HS2 (already on the books, but Boris explicitly threw his weight behind it, and got rid of objectors) and “levelling up” the north.

Think Boris realised that all those labour voters that voted for him wouldn’t hang around unless he substantially improved the quality of life outside of London. Big infrastructure projects are the obvious path to take.

Boris also increased business rates as well, along with being caught saying “fuck business”. Boris isn’t your standard conservative, looking for economic stability or growth. He’s only interested in what keeps him in Number 10. And big spending up North looked like a pretty good strategy. Who cares about ROI for the tax payer, when it’s gonna keep him in office?

Personally think the spending is/was a good thing on the whole. But I really don’t like Boris, and his complete lack of any conviction, except his conviction of reminding in Number 10.
As a person without a uterus and vanishingly unlikely to ever birth a another living being, I accept that abortion is something I don't reasonably have control over, and default to letting decide those who can give birth.

I've mentioned before that I opted for a vasectomy after my spouse and I had enough children (one, in our case, is enough). It's a relative luxury to have access to that surgery, and I'm thankful it is an option. How would it feel if it were an illegal procedure? Or if it were mandated?

Whether or not I ejaculate sperm is nowhere close to the risk of dying in childbirth, or carrying to term a child of a rapist, or giving birth to a child the parent(s) will not be able to properly care for, for whatever reason. I write this to suggest you let go of attempts to control what is reasonably beyond your control. That may be uncomfortable, and that's okay.

When I was in Japan someone told me about the Shinto perspective of souls, something like "if it's not time for that particular soul to inhabit a body, it just gets back in line for another opportunity." This perspective helps me relax a bit about abortion and thinking I should do anything other than promote public money go to organizations like Planned Parenthood (which does far more for people's health than carry out abortions) and keep abortion legal (where to draw the line on how many weeks is not for me to decide).

If you find death and killing an interesting and thrilling topic, I suggest reading On killing : the psychological cost of learning to kill in war and society, by Lt Col Dave Grossman [0]. Fighting and killing each other and other animals is something we all (generally speaking) have access to and can reasonably weigh in on. It is uncomfortable to me how much money and resources we (I'm in the USA) spend on the military (and I served awhile, honorably discharged, blah blah), and I accept we'll keep fighting wars for a long time. Per Gandalf's admonition to Frodo about wishing Bilbo had killed Gollum in the tunnels when he'd had the chance, I don't like the death penalty. I like the banishment option that the Lakota (I think? And likely many other cultures) used, though now we can find belonging online. In some ways I miss the pre-internet days where it was important to get to know one's physical neighbors, regardless of their politics (I make a point to talk with all my neighbors, and sometimes this means we just talk about the weather, and that's fine).

I used to feel the same way.I didn't want to live forever to be alive forever but to get to see 'the rest of the story'.

In probably 2008 I took some extremely potent hydroponic mushrooms. Having grown up with field shrooms I thought I could handle my typical 1/8-1/4 oz dose,despitey cousin advising me one gram would more than suffice.

I had the quickest on set imaginable when ingesting something. Hadn't gotten down more than a few grams when I got smacked over the head. I looked at my tv (playing cartoon network) and went...away.

Hours later I came back to myself and what had happened was hard to explain.

I had risen ip through my head and proceeded until at the edge of what I guessed was the universe. As I felt myself hit a barrier I knew what I had to do. I had to shed my small, human consciousness as it was unable to contain what was out there.

I remember doing that and then coming back. I had this incredible sadness as while out there I felt I had understood. It had all made sense, there was nothing to fear, all the knowledge was out there and for a bit I'd had it.

Coming back to myself I had to remember how to be human- I am a human, I am a male, we communicate with language, etc. And all the while it felt so much like downgrading.

Turns out I had been 'out there' for about 8+ hours. My poor cousin had gotten stuck ib my bathroom mirror and refused to speak kf his trip.

After that I have almost a sense of expectation, as if this is hust something I have to go through to get 'there'.

I hear nowadays much headway is being made in using psychedelics for therapy, maybe it would be something worth looking into, if you're into that sort of thing.

I feel you on the anxiety, and whatever it may be, I hope you are able to not just cope but move past it. I know I still struggle occasionally, almost had a panic attack just yesterday and it had been over a year since I'd had one.
I had to look it up - median income here seems to be 45910 NOK (~4830 USD), but couldn't find any median price. But just from anecdotal evidence (i.e. sampling from different counties here), the it would be lower than the mean. Ratio wouldn't be too different, if I had to estimate.
Thanks, I gave up after the student package referral... which I guess worked as designed! Maybe now I will get some genuine hardware and take another shot.
Blow deleted the tweet.
Audiobooks have been a lifesaver in my otherwise busy life. I listen when I drive and when I do chores primarily. Try to alternate fiction and non-fiction, been doing it for probably 15 years now. Last couple of years I've started increasing the playback speed very slowly, training myself to get comfortable with it. Currently at around 1.75x for non-fiction, 2x speed for fiction. More literature covered with minimal loss of comprehension (won't say it's zero, but small enough of an issue given the benefit).
Yes, EU and UK got a deal so it's all cool now, therefore no empty shelves - just increased bureaucracy and red tape in trade. However, UK claims that the deal they signed is a shitty deal and they are expected to break it. Things can start moving again.
I just heard a msnbc guest say, "Once inflation rears it's ugly head, in my experience (very old guy) only a severe recession brings down prices. (I hope that's not the case.)

Then I heard Kathy Woods say she predicts deflation in about a year.

I my world of the poor, and low middle class we didn't get much out of the low interest party. I guess there's more jobs? We can't afford to speculate on stocks, and those high interest rate cd's were nice 20 years ago.

We can't afford a home, so we didn't get those low interest rate mortgages.

We can't afford new cars, and used car loans always seem high.

Did you guys know the Homeless got 0 government money through the pandemic. (Off topic, but it just bothered me.)

I just heard a big wig business guru say that Jerome Powell should be looking for another job. I think he did an ok job for what he was handed.

What I will never understand about Jerome Powell is why had government buy the mortgage backed securities, and treasury securities for so so so long, especially since realeste and the stock market flourished during the pandemic?

(Yes--I'm no expert obviously.)

Overly verbose? Indeed for the modern non fiction book. Most are really just 10 page articles expanded to fit in what people perceive as the standard book length.

Honestly as much as this sounds like a joke, make your next book “How to read a Book” by Adler. It changed the way I read books and now I don’t feel bad skimming a book and deciding that it’s not worth my time

>>According to Galor, diversity can inhibit economic growth by decreasing social cohesion

>Surprised to see this acknowledged on Washington Post.

Agreed, but it is argued as an aspect of an average:
"According to Galor, diversity can inhibit economic growth by decreasing social cohesion, but it can also increase growth by promoting specialization and innovation; therefore, regions with an intermediate level of diversity had the highest levels of economic development."

I'm not at all sure the evidence support's Seth's claim that Paul and John were not geniuses, at least at that point in their careers.

The music for most recorded song of all-time, Yesterday, came to him in a dream; he went to the piano upon waking up and played it. That's just one example. If you won't call that "genius," as opposed to mere "skill," you have very, very high standards, I would think unrealistically so.

But Seth is allowed to share his writing before it's fully-baked. :)
To be fair, he did try to contribute. One of the posts in the original Github thread was a reasonably detailed explanation of how to do what he was proposing, and it was dismissed as a "PHD level deep dive in to text rendering" or something similar.

I tend to agree with you on about how the 2 of them choose to communicate their opinions at times, but honestly in this case I think it was fully warranted.
> it’s absurd to think the British can make a better economic Union

The great irony being that the U.K. poured a huge amount of effort into making the EU and ECHR a reality, so as help ensure there wouldn’t be another war in Europe. So in many ways the U.K. has already proven it can’t come up with something better than the EU.
Norway is in the European Economic Area, which allows for free movement of people, which is exactly the part that Brexiters hated the most. They aren't going to give that up.

Switzerland is in the European Free Trade Association and part of the Schengen area, again allowing for free movement of people.

Sure, they might sign deals to maintain trade with the UK, but won't accept any deal that would harm their ability to trade with the (much bigger and wealthier) EU.
Another extremely successful tactic I stumbled upon by accident: electing a 3rd party decision maker that the other negotiator can't communicate with. Without the communication channel, the other negotiator is forced to "sweeten the deal" instead of using conversational skills.

I received a job offer while my wife was traveling. The number was right for me and the job/company was right. But I told the hiring manager that I needed to talk it through with my wife first and that I'd need a few days (no context about why I needed the time or which direction I expected it to go).

She got home 3 days later. We sat down, talked it through for 10 minutes, and we were ready to accept.

In the time between the initial offer and accepting the offer, I received 3 updated offers with increasing compensation. The final offer I accepted was $75k higher than the initial offer.

After experiencing that, I've noticed companies use this tactic frequently. When you call into a help center, often times the phone operator "will need to talk to their manager" who is authorized to make the actual decision. You aren't allowed to talk to the manager - all communication goes through the intermediary. I suspect they are aware that this is an effective negotiating tactic.
Plus, let's be real Norway is the world's largest petro-state that's not also a theocracy and Switzerland is the world's largest 'offshore' banking state.

They are not part of the EU because very obvious parts of their economy are 'we got lucky and don't want to share that luck.' Why would they then want to share that luck with the UK?

Nofollow is probably bullshit.

That is, search engines put it there to make people feel like they can do something about spam, but it is up to the search engine if they really honor nofollow or not. Web site operators are so afraid of losing pagerank that many of them stopped linking to other web sites long ago or tagged everything "nofollow" so there might be more ham than spam marked "nofollow".

(There was that time I went to a conference and an exec from Bing was there and I told him if Matt Cutts, his counterpart from Google, was there I would have ordered a cream pie from room service since Google is notorious for gaslighting and giving false info to webmasters)

Note people can click on a nonfollow link and get you to go their web site also and I'd say that is real measurable traffic, whatever effect PageRank may or may not have on their rankings is not measurable.

“Closed-loop locked-down production plant” sounds like a veiled way of describing slavery.
One aspect of a Moral Maze is that it systematically removes slack:

> A world without slack is not a place one wants to be. Mazes systematically erase all slack. Slack is evidence of not being fully committed, and given that everyone’s skills are equal and competition is perfect, holding anything back means losing even if undetected. [1]

And an article by Zvi on the specific concept [2].

My take, and my experience, says that a lot of what makes a moral maze is an organization where professional managers engage in a large-scale effort to ensure that blame or negative consequences flow past them. So you advance by building a maze around yourself so that negative results miss you and you grab credit for positive results that have to flow through you.

When people "on the line" do good work, you can leech off of that. And as long as your organization does good work you can do fine. But if your organization becomes marginal or if you're trying to outcompete other middle managers, you have to find a way to pass that downstream. As a generic "manager" you can't add value on the line, but it's very easy to blame lack of results on lack of efficiency (too much slack) so that's what gets sacrificed.

>> he had to or the economy would have collapsed.

In the US, conservatives are very much anti-stimulus funding. Similarly, Germany demanded severe austerity in Greece during the recession, leading to the worst economic depression in a an advanced capitalist nation in recorded history (outpacing the American Great Depression).

Yes, there's some risk of getting beat up a bit, so it would be ideal to be wearing gloves and coveralls. I would not let that slow me down though, but I have experience with catching them in midair while they are coming at me.

Mostly, it's a matter of being confident and moving quickly. You can expect to get hurt if your movements and reactions are slower than the bird; above all, do not let it gain the initiative or advantage.

The same approach will help you to avoid running into any issues with the relevant government agencies. They won't charge you if they don't catch you. Wear an orange vest over the coveralls, and it's likely no one will even question your actions.
I've been doing the same, and have found myself really attracted to the ideas of the indie web. The internet is so incredibly corporatized these days, and I feel like independent blogs and websites are a critical bulwark that helps preserve open spaces on the internet.
