And I don't believe in the tooth fairy.

If you want to claim that social media is very similar to TV/magazine, then you should provide some reasons for this.

The difference you point out actually adds to the mental health issues. Because it is not at all "a lot more attainable to become" a celeb on SM than on TV. If this claim was true, then the percentage of celebs would be higher today than it was then; i.e. 0.1% of the population vs 0.01%. That is not the case. There is only one Kardishan family.

But because it seems easier, then it is also easier to blame yourself for not achieving it.

We are never free. There is always consequences of one's actions and there is always the actions of others limiting the choices we can make. And if there are no others it is the environment we live in that limits is possible. This is what living in an world means.

The written and unwritten rules we as a society establish for our places are usually the limitation of some freedom to protect another. You are not allowed to scream loudly in a library, because then one persons freedom to scream would destroy the freedom of all other visitors to read in peace. Collectively we agreed that we gain freedom by sacrificing certain unfitting behavior. This must not even be rational, it is pure convention by the majority using a place (e.g. think about how the rules in various houses of worship work).

Of course one could now argue that you can forbid behavior for arbitrary reasons, without making such a deliberate tradeoff. After all, exactly this is an integral part of authotarian structures all around the world. However in many online places the kind of freedom people argue for is rarely the freedom to eloquently postulate a controversial opinion. More often it is being an asshole to others. And just like in the library example this can and will affect the freedoms of others. Every screaming troll makes a good, productive debate more unlikely, which is why nearly every place where decent online debate happens, bans this kind of behaviour.

And this is good. Different places serve different purposes and have therefore their own written and unwritten rules. This in itself is not a problem at all.

Don't get me wrong here, but if someone would complain at the swimming pool that we are not allowed to pee into it and are therefore not free, I don't question the pool rules, I question why they want to do that in the first place.

If the rules say "no swimming" this would be something different altogether.
If you play opening sequence of Terminator you will notice that the weapons used are exactly what makes sense to deploy against Russia - Ai orchestrated drones, hi power laser (Raphael Tech) turrets mounted on autonomous vehicles.

> How does that work?

Their brain's chemistry and structure is closer to cis-women than to cis-men due to hormone replacement therapy, and there are consistent differences in the microstructures of the brain.

> Given that transwomen are just men

While they are male in some regards, trans women have a different endocrine system due to HRT. They are not "just men".

> that's what they believe they should be doing more of while performing womanhood.

That's a very demeaning belief about how trans women experience the world, to reduce everything to a performance erases all the struggle and issues these women have gone through as a consequence of "being different" while presenting as boys or men.

> doesn't need to be transported from a refinery

Given how much cutting edge process chemistry is involved in this fuel manufacture, it will be a long time before it's available in small units, which will of course be more capital-intensive and less efficient than large units because that's how scaling works.

It's far more likely this fuel will end up simply co-mingled with the global market and shipped all over the world from a few sites which are good for generation but not for direct consumption.
> You think teenagers are thinking about pensions...

German here. Yes we absolutely fucking did, especially as our parents pushed us from early on to obtain as much education as we could because unlike even in the 80s, manual labor would not be enough to sustain a family or to have a comfortable retirement.
These sound like withdrawal symptoms. It takes time for your body to adjust to a new regime, and for your mind to learn to ignore your bodily withdrawal screams.

I regularly fast (one day every two weeks), and the greatest benefit to me is a more mindful awareness of my gut: I can now tell the difference between feeling hungry because my body expects food and feeling hungry because my body needs it, and can easily decide to delay or skip a meal if I don't really need it. And, more importantly to me, I never feel the need to snack in-between meals.

As someone who has done one meal/window a day for a decade, I assure you it's a self-correcting problem.

You wont ever starve if your meal is 700kcal one day. You will want to eat more the next day, your head will tell you. Or maybe you want some ice cream after in the same window?

On the other point, very few people who sit around all day need 2000kcal, unless they're relatively huge in any dimension. Either way you will find out if you count for a couple of weeks and if your weight is constant your average intake is your TDEE. If you're sedentary my bet is it's less than 2k.

I run a small and nice visual weather app for Apple Watch and iPhone (https://weathergraph.app). Some people in reviews object to price, but if I wasn't able to charge a subscription (because weather data costs money continuously), there would be no app. And if I wasn't able to make (about 50 % there right now) a living, I would work for a corporation like I did before, and I wouldn't be able to dedicate enough time to make it great ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I feel like anything that is not either ".com", your local country domain (".fr", ".co.uk"...), ".org" or a very trendy domain like ".io" is not really a great choice unless it combines well with the rest of the domain name to turn into your or your company/product's name. Most "non-standard" domains will look shady to inexperienced users, unless your target audience is niche / tech and most importantly not a customer, in which case they probably won't care about the domain in the first place.

Personally I look at websites this way, if it's ".com", ".org", or ".<country>" it's probably a business or organization, if it's ".io" it's probably a young startup, if it's ".net" it's probably old and not up to date/relevant, and if it's anything else it's either a blog or a scam.
I believe that for every Bartosz Ciechanowski (huge kudos and thanks to him!) there are 100 similarly abled people, who can't create essays like this, because they need to do something else to keep the lights on. A collective loss.

We don't have to pay ludicrous amounts for healthcare though, and rents are also way way WAY lower here than in the US - even London, Berlin and Munich are nowhere near US levels.
This is such an odd thing to gatekeep. What “purpose” does camping in nature serve exactly?
Yes, because it can scale massively and it removes even the chance of a moral reconsideration on the part of the killer. With a human soldier there's at least a chance they'll decide to disobey an order to murder innocent people.
I've only skimmed the article, there was a lot of... ehhh in there. That said, ASD is a spectrum (as the S indicates), and it's not a "yes or no" spectrum, but more like a row of sliders that will be different for everybody, and THEN you have to make the distinction between sliders that people have, sliders that people show, and sliders that adjust over a lifetime of things like coping mechanisms, experiences, masking-turned-into-a-personality, etc.

I'm pretty confident that a lot of sliders are shared with ADHD; it seems like more and more research shows (citation needed) that the two have a lot in common / overlap / etc.

I'm not convinced it's environmental at all though. Genetic, I can see that; the one thing to note there though is that our parents and grandparents' environments dealt with ASD and ADHD differently from today, think of different education systems, different work, access to information, punishment for maladjusted behaviours, and diagnosis. In hindsight, people with ADHD and ASD, especially if only diagnosed as an adult, will see similar traits in their parents.
That’s a great question. Thanks for continuing to ask these so I can avoid those orgs.

When I do come to having to decide on a sorting algorithm, I can refer to the code and algos and then decide. All I need to be able to do is understand the algorithm when I see it not memorize the differences between quick and merge sort. I’m actively working with multiple Olap and regular db solutions and my teams responsible for keeping 100 billion row tables in the most queryable format and it’s never been possible for me to make such a choice, only on whether I use spark or redshift or snowflake. So what exactly would you achieve by asking this question? The irony is I was rejected by 5 companies for not being technical, accepted by 1 where I’ve been thriving for years now at one of the most technical roles in the org.
This just reeks of jealousy, insecurity, and incel/redpill nonsense.

I don’t see how someone not understanding GL first can do anything useful with it. Like, what would such people even use it for? If they need a complete solution just use a plugin that displays some rotatable 3D model. But I really don’t see the value of planning for the lowest common denominator in case of a highly specialized domain specific API.
>The PSU in one of the computers is gone, but not the motherboard and rest.

I had this happen to me, but I think it hit a phone line (back in the ADSL days) - and it caught more components then I initial thought, the ones that went under the radar were the RAMs.

The symptom was decompressing RAR files, sometimes it would give errors. The HDD also started to act oddly, so you should probably run some tests to see if everything is ok.

Ukraine is an example of what you can hold off… if and only if your enemy refuses to use chemical weapons developed in 1910. Like Chechnya, like the Iraqi holdouts who went against Saddam, they are going to lose the moment international eyes turn away or their enemy no longer views international disappointment as a threat.

On a purely technical note about the leak, I would be pretty impressed if the Court had systems where the authoring justice's / clerk's software would insert various difficult-to-detect variations into each copy distributed to the other justices.

For example, slight differences in the footnotes / case reference numbers that would be very hard to detect on casual glance. Or even traps like displaced punctuation marks unique to each copy.

But somehow I doubt it.

Well, if the abstractions were peer reviewed and put through the same rigour as mathematical proofs, that's a whole different topic.

The equivalent would be a mathematical services company, who created "free" abstraction packages that required you to rewrite all your math, away from the scientific community standards, to fit their abstractions, and who also made money on consulting and selling books. And the big benefit of it all, is really that they only abstracted away writing summaries of your papers, which is actually the easiest part that is quite irrelevant to your research.

Also value is quite interesting question once we move out of pure software. Let's take a smartphone. What is the split in value between the coder of OS or some feature and the person who puts it together? Clearly the later should have much more value as without their work out side licensing the first work have zero value or even negative in spend resources. So shouldn't they really be paid larger share of smartphone price than the software developer.
"The dominant ideology is the ideology of the dominant class" Karl Marx

The "elite" is very much descentralized and unconscious/semi-conscious.

There's absolutely zero risk for the power structures on current social media: ideology is 100% ok: banks are fine, scam and fraud is rampant, people are surely working (some of them have their main goal in life to progress in a carreer in a big company), people are surely studying (academia is the brain of the elite), people are still bragging against elites with near-zero effect and then when they get older finally bowing their heads and accepting "reality", religion is fine, harry potter is awesome etc etc.. Not to mention social media itself is owned by the elite and has some important functions - which are working perfectly fine.

This is also the case for Spain. Since I was a teenager (also in my 30s) it was a pretty common theme. Not only pensions, but pretty much everything is a scheme where yougnsters are doomed no matter what.

I remember my history teacher telling us about it and people saying they knew, and they also knew that they couldn't change it unless boomers were on board, which they weren't at the time, and definitely still in the same position.
Each team brings their own third goalie when it really matters, in the playoffs, and yeah, sometimes it's one of the coaches or trainers, but more often they just bring somebody who plays goalie a lot in his free time, just not at a professional level.

This is part of the effort to kill it. If enough people believe it is a ponzi scheme, unsustainable, etc. then the political impetus to either privatize or get rid of it can be mustered.

Social security is very popular among the working classes (especially retired ofc) and deeply unpopular among the upper classes who see it as a tax burden on them that makes their workers lazy.
They also cost a ton to service. It's nice if the sentiment of carrying something through the years appeals to you, but the thing that keeps me away from mechanical watches is the service costs compared to the odd battery replacement on a quartz.

Many people within the Autism community have pointed out that the diagnostic criteria for Autism tends to include mainly traits of distressed autistics: things like meltdowns, shutdowns, and poor social skills. Whereas there seem to be a much larger group of people who have similar traits and experiences but who are coping with it much better (although not necessarily entirely well) who get completely missed.

From what I understand, people use a strict schedule regardless of motivation for two reasons:

- be sure that even if inspiration never strikes, you still have something after a week, a month, a year

- maximize your chances of inspiration striking

I've often heard that the first 20 minutes of doing a task are the hardest, and that's where you should force yourself the most. After that it gets easier. And if there is a "wave" of inspiration, you should ride it while it's there.
Ill-advised indeed. I'm paid €46k before taxes and social security (ie. very average income) with at take home of €27k after taxes. Most of my (frugal) living expenses for the year can be paid are on my first €16k. Which leaves me with approximately €10k for savings and leisure. If I were in the U.S. (Chicago), with a $104k before taxes and living expenses at $35k, I'm still left with $34k or €32k. A 3X increase in saving. YMMV. I went to university for 5 years but fortunately have no exorbitant student loan to pay back. And even if I did with full tuition I'd still be better off

Firstly, this is just a punt. A temporary bandaid to avoid having to make any actual change. A bandaid on top of multiple decades of bandaids. California will eventually run out of bandaids and the longer they wait the worse it will be.

Secondly, it will be abused as all programs are. We’ll be here 12-18 months after this goes live to lament how rich people abused this program. If you think it won’t happen you’re grossly underestimating the tax planning and scheming skills of wealthy advisors.

Finally, this really doesn’t even seem to come close to helping the median earner afford a median house. We’re talking about income limits of around $100k and 7-digit house prices. Free down payment is nice, but what about the monthly payment burden??

My prediction is that a large percentage of people using this program will be rich people with clever accountants.
