I use this to sleep. General-knowledge videos on Youtube, generally, constant voice, interesting facts. Otherwise I develop stories in my mind and become angry (to the point of breaking stuff, relationships, and probably suicide if I let it run unchecked). I’m quite a fine person and even appreciated if I use this method to suppress my internal dialogue.

Do those symptoms match with ADHD? Or is it simply the mundanity of solitude around 40, when one has a few extremely bad experienced that tend to not get forgotten easily? I avoid alcohol, but do normal people’s use of alcohol helps with deleting those memories? Do normal people have a nagging girlfriend that plays the role of keeping the mind busy with something else? Or would anyone suggest another diagnosis that I should investigate?

I find myself in quite unhealthy mental health because of that. I’ve always thought it’s just solitude turning me crazy, but it would be sad to not be aware that it’s a specific condition.
Very important to remember the, "original" design for the, "Internet." It's also worth looking at Ted Nelson's work and the Engelbart Hypertext systems. It's such a shame that modern culture took us away from Associative Trails-- it would have made, "web surfing" so much more engaging. It's a shame these threads get so little activity.

Correct.

When you treat equality as equality of outcome, you necessarily destroy:

1. Equality of effort.

2. Equality of opportunity.

3. Equality of personal freedom.

4. Equality of justice.

All of these are the right ones to defend while accepting equality of outcome will necessarily force you to embrace behavioral engineering: the industrialization of being manipulative at scale. Basically the wet dream of every power grabbing seeker and wannabe authoritarians in disguise.
Some groups have advantages that others don't.

Neither of those ways will solve racism, and since racism will go unsolved, in 100 years we'll still be talking about how the past has passed and that NOW is the time for a meritocracy. 100 years of some groups falling further and further behind.
Pretty weak, tendentious study mainly designed to flatter the experimenter's priors.

Doesn't compare "advantaged" group (here assumed to simply be "white (non-Hispanic)") to any others.

Claims to find "misperceptions" when a reasonable-person real-world interpretation of any of the questions, even if they are designed to exclude any loss to the respondents' category, will necessarily apply assumptions about resource-limitations.

For example, one example given in the text is a proposed policy, “Several banks propose increasing the total amount of mortgage loans to Latino homebuyers by $7.3 billion and not changing the total amount of mortgage loan funding to White homebuyers”.

People who live in the real world know such a policy might not "increase equality".

Sometimes, generous loans offered due to trendy policies – like in the leadup to the 2008 crisis – trap the borrowers with unsustainable debts. Other times, they meet the ostensible targets – "more to Latinos" – without actually reaching the disadvantaged. (Only Latinos who are already well-off can work the system.)

Many people of all 'advantagedness' categories will reject the idea of targeting loans by ethnicity, preferring as a matter of morality that such decisions should be ethnicity-blind. They might even choose to suffer tangible resource losses for themselves & their 'ingroup', to punish attempts to set up a resource-allocation on unfair precepts, as in 'ultimatum game' experiments.

And, no matter how carefully the question-conditions are wordsmithed to suggest a 'free lunch' for the preferred-category at no cost to the respondents – "not changing the total amount of mortgage loan funding to White homebuyers" – in the real world an extra $7.3B has to come from somewhere. Reserving it for a specific ethnicity means it's taken from everyone else – not just from the study's 'advantaged' but every other (possibly-even-more-needy) program/group.

(Other conditions only described in the supplementary materials are even worse in imagining free-money for pay-raises, and free-jobs that don't displace anyone else, as if magically from-the-sky.)

The experimenters' childlike wishing-away of tradeoffs thus makes their desired result fall automatically out of the interaction between their fanciful scenarios & respondents' real-world familiarity with how such proposed policies truly work.

So on the one hand we have diversity which is touted as a strength because people of different backgrounds bring a wider range of experiences to produce the best results.

But also...

Somehow those otherwise impactful differences have ZERO bearing on someone's interest in (or even aptitude for) specific career paths?

Many of the bigger libraries like bootstrap but also individual, rich plugins and widgets have moved to a JS native implementation, which is slightly more verbose but clearer, well supported and has no bundle size / dependency overhead.

If I want/need "something more than native" today then I first ask myself again whether I _really_ need it and then maybe I will look for focused/small libraries and polyfills.
I think it's fine to be uncomfortable without your phone. It's understandable: they do so many useful things.

However, it turns out what this post is really about is work communication, not about the functionality of phones that enhance our lives.

When you're trying to get friends together, find a nice place to eat, and get directions to meet up, having a phone is far better than not having one. I wouldn't want to be without a phone during a car crash or medical emergency, either.

In contrast, when it comes to your employer's demands on you, the phone isn't so nice to have around, is it?

My suggestion is to set notification boundaries for work-based communication and always be looking for opportunities to leave employers that violate the boundaries in your life.
That’s a completely fair question, I’m just curious why the parent comment required a bunch of tools.

"and i dont think it is stupid at all"

Actually it is - while you provide for yourself and that may be fine, if you have dependents, having daddy be the single source of authentication for everything is pretty damn stupid. You might have accounts for your kids but they need to actually access those accounts.

If you end up in a coma in the hospital, again, having yourself as the single source of authentication for medical purposes is pretty dumb, too.

If you have any group of people dependent upon a thing, having yourself as the single source of authentication is pretty damn stupid. Look up how nuclear missiles are/were protected, if you want a real world tech example.

This thing where people assume they are the only thing in the world so whatever they want is fine for everybody else, that the real fucking stupid thing.
> Where does the extra money for the loans come from? Banks can't create it out of thin air, it has to come from somewhere

To a large extent, banks do create money out of thin air when they give out a loan. See also, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_creation#Credit_theory...
It seems possible to put a floor on human suffering without risking other equalities.

For example, we aren't risking the other equalities if we say "nobody in a civilized country should starve" or "nobody should go without basic healthcare."
> I think if you succeeded in making a game that successfully simulated the experience of poverty, it would be extremely unfun to play.

I don't think you're someone that plays many videogame simulations, as the whole point is making something fun that's inherently boring in real life. There are so many popular simulators for famously mind-numbing jobs: farming, janitorial services (and further niches within this including powerwashing), driving for hours on an empty desert road (both as a trucker or as someone that's just bored), and more.

Here's a great game that simulates trying to survive in an imaginary Soviet country. You pretty much always die, are coerced to murder people as part of your job, and usually watch as your family starves or freezes to death despite your best efforts to keep them alive. And you know what? I honestly think it's one of the best videogames ever made.

https://papersplea.se/

If the goal is to actually present the experience of poverty, then yeah it would be unfun to play by design. I wouldn't want that job in Arstotzka either, even if the game is fun to play. I'd also never want to be a truck driver, but I love the idea of doing it in a videogame.

> Is bird song language? What are they saying?

Depends on what you mean by language. If you mean "a structured system of communication", then it absolutely is. The only modern scientific rejection of birds songs as language is based around the definition of the word "language".

They're saying many different things such as "I'm ready to mate", "I'm hungry", "Stay away", "Come here", and "Predator nearby". Not only that, but birds are able to specify which kind of predator is nearby.

There's a resistance to these ideas that goes beyond objective science, and it's because we were previously basing our understandings on faulty assumptions. There's even a term for it, "human exceptionalism".
WTF is "an intervention to improve decision-making"? On what basis do they think that their decision making is better than the participants'?
Let's use this famous analogy as an example: https://www.diffen.com/difference/Image:Equality-equity-just...

1) Resources provided to the advantage grouped may not be utilized effectively. You can reallocate the crates without anyone in the advantaged group noticing

2) Resources invested in the future can be done so to remove systemic barriers that lead to disadvantages. Next time the fence needs maintenance or replacement, just replace it with one that doesn't need crates

3) Another way to say #2 is if you commit to EVALUATING the status quo and trying to understand the reasons for inequality (as opposed to just assuming that the world is inherently hierarchical and just which is the more traditionalist approach), you can identify policies that exist that continue to perpetuate disadvantages. And that if you just remove them, you will reveal additional resources. (e.g. stop sentencing certain races more harsher for the same crimes as other races)
They're different operations. The first is concatenation; the second is extension. Concatenation only works with other lists, but extension works with any iterable.

Which is why there is a visceral pushback - if a parents struggles in providing a better life for their children don’t actually inure to the children, what’s the point (I.e. if I scrimp and save to send my kid to test prep-training to get her into a better high school, and only to have her be handicapped because of her advantage (my sacrifice) won’t that drive resentment, nihilism etc?)
I disagree with your take.

Compare two worlds: in one, because of discrimination, there are fewer engineers, scientists, talented statesmen, teachers; in the other, without discrimination, there are more of these professions. The second world is more beneficial to everyone, even those of the advantaged groups of the first world. In the second world, people are more likely to discover beneficial technologies, economic approaches, medical breakthroughs, whatever.
You have hacked the system. Bravo.
I think "COVID is not that deadly" is literally true, in the sense that it is not likely to kill you in any age group, but is understating the net harm.

For instance: https://public.tableau.com/views/COVID_excess_mort_withcause...

Really a lot of people have died who would not have otherwise died. Arguably some of that is "pulling deaths forward" and we might see improvements to all cause mortality over the next few years but overall COVID has had a pretty big impact on mortality. In the US for instance life expectancy has fallen from 78.9 to 76.6 over the course of the pandemic.
There are many professions like this. My sons school has 35 teachers, none of which are men. Nursing seems to be another profession with many more women than men. Same with spa workers. Truck drivers are mostly men. Movers. NFL football players.

Are we supposed to equalize all of these?
> especially in only one or two generations after a migration.

Thats a perfect example of unequal opportunity. As much as we try to make excuses around it, the single biggest predictor of someone's lifetime income is their parents income. The fact of the matter is being rich provides opportunities and advantages being middle class doesn't and definitely not being poor, and there is little evidence to suggest that this corrects itself after a few generations. The fact is historically poor populations tend to stay that way, with those who escape being outliers.

I was just reading about Literate Programming. I'm excited to see a, "real" example here. I think that if you can kind of harness, "the power of language" programmatically you can get a lot closer to machines as amplifiers of human thought vs. manipulators of abstract symbols.

>If there are 8 demographics and you boost one, you're not "disfavoring another".

If the situation is zero-sum, then you absolutely have. Your post is exhibit #254,689,472,096,776 of people lying about this, and other people have caught on.

>There are many cases where you can adjust how many spots you have available if you make more intelligent decisions about resource allocation or are willing to make junior hires that cost less than senior ones and train them up.

So let's say instead of an Asian senior dev making $180k a year, you now have a (different) Asian junior dev and a Black junior dev making $90k. That doesn't disadvantage the Asian who would have been a senior dev making $180k? Preposterous.
How do you draw that conclusion when the study says:

"Experiments 2a-2c found that induced state mindfulness reduced the willingness to engage in reparative behaviors in normally guilt-inducing situations."

This is about people who has has wronged others becoming less likely to make up for it after practicing mindfulness. Meaning, this is about mindfulness making more vapid social vampires who just take without giving back since it reduces guilt, not about people being more resistant to them.
Working hard isn't sufficient, you also have to work smart and invest in your future. If you spend 80 hours a week mowing grass, or raking leaves, or shoveling snow (season dependent), then you are working very hard. But if that's all you do you will not amount to very much relative to a more lucrative occupation.

While there is surely more to it, this kind of scenario should have been predicted before Internet companies got big. You see, the company can lose real money if there actually is a legal issue with an account holder and they don't act; they can be implicated in crime and be fined and have to spend money on attorneys to sort it out. However, it costs the company absolutely nothing to find, using automation, all complaints against any account holder valid and instaban them. It's cold, hard business. Everyone accused is punished without any resources spent on investigation to discover the truth. The truth here doesn't matter to the company. People don't matter to the company. Only money matters.

Why does there have to be one or the other? There should be both the metrics.
You a missing the point, and bringing in a strawman.

The point was, these people COULD do more than move boxes from A to B, could have been more productive, and could contribute more to the economy, if they were provided training.

Why they didn't get training is irrelevant - you can debate all day if Wallmart or Obama is at fault. But you don't get any credit for making humans move boxes A to B like monkeys. If they took a bunch of homeless people and made them into engineers, then yes, that would be noteworthy.

As to your starman - you could find a homeless person and cruely exploit them, by offering them dangerous work or getting them into prostitution. It could make you a lot of money if done at scale, and most people would call you a terrible person.

You did not make them homeless to begin with, but I think most people would not buy that as something that vindicates you.

But suddenly if your name is Amazon then it has a veneer of a respectable business.
Nope nope nope.

"The beatings will continue until morale improves" is not a valid social policy (or management theory) for maximizing well being, productivity, income, or long term life outcomes of any sort. Of course, if what you're actually trying to do is improve your negotiating position vs the workers you're hiring (ie. you're trying to lower labor costs, not increase returns), the strategy has advantages.

A related data point: the US armed forces investigated whether recruits from various adverse backgrounds (poverty, precarity, broken homes, gang membership, etc.) performed better as soldiers (colloquially, "were tougher"), and the answer was unequivocally no; the best performing (and least likely to "crack") soldiers under challenging combat conditions came from stable middle class home environments.

But, recruitment still tends to target the poor, largely because the incentives are more attractive to that demographic and seen as a viable "way out".
This also depends what you consider "low level networking" and how you want to learn. Scapy can be made to work it may just be either under or overkill depending on what you are wanting to achieve. Implementing HTTP from the ground up? Scapy is probably overkill, just open a TCP socket in your language of choice and start building. Just want to understand what happens if different fields are changed below what a standard TCP/UDP socket call gets you access to? Scapy is a great choice to abstract the OS specific pieces out of the way and provide you with prebuilt blocks to base your experimentation off of.

That is absolutely not my experience. During the height of the pandemic, many AliExpress sellers failed to deliver orders. The tracking numbers that some sellers provided showed "delivered" even when the item never arrived. During the disputes, AliExpress would request proof that the item never arrived, which is not possible to provide. Filing a chargeback or PayPal dispute is only an option if you don't mind being banned by AliExpress.

eBay and Amazon Marketplace put the burden of proof of delivery on the seller instead of the buyer when the shipment is not protected with signature confirmation. Many AliExpress-style items are also listed on eBay and Amazon at similar prices, and I've mostly switched over after my bad experiences with AliExpress. AliExpress still has a different selection of items, so I haven't stopped using it completely.
Don’t believe the propaganda.

> Wouldn't it make more sense for the scanning feature to be its own app, so that users can find it, know what it is, and not activate it accidentally?

It's been a few years since I had that phone so the details are a bit fuzzy but I seem to recall it was very discoverable from the email attachment interface, at the very least.

Problem with a separate app is that it's a separate codebase and thus easier for it to fall to neglect.
Mindfulness and compassion are often talked of as "two wings of a bird" by dharma teachers - mindfulness doesn't automatically translate to compassion. This sutta makes the same point:

Maṇibhadda Sutta (SN 10:4)

On one occasion the Blessed One was staying among the Magadhans at the Jewel-stand Shrine, the haunt of the yakkha-spirit, Maṇibhadda [Auspicious Jewel].

Then Maṇibhadda the yakkha-spirit went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, recited this verse:

“It’s always auspicious for one who is mindful.
The mindful one prospers happily—always.
The mindful one grows better each day
and is totally freed from animosity.”

The Buddha:

“It’s always auspicious for one who is mindful.
The mindful one prospers happily always.
The mindful one grows better each day

but isn’t totally freed from animosity.
Whoever’s heart, all day, all night,
delights in harmlessness
with goodwill for all beings

has no animosity with anyone at all.
