Speaking from a northern European perspective, there are a lot of systems in place that guarantee healthcare, housing and affordable or even free study opportunities. Those systems, funded by taxes, enjoy broad support, and to some extent set a (low) base level of equality and opportunity. Of course if the debate shifts into a narrative of being allowed to take from a "privileged party" – to empty their fridge sort of speak – you touch upon something visceral in people's self-preservation psyche and risk jeopardising that social net. Tolerance is generally low to provide more to those who are perceived to have failed to take advantage of those benefits and opportunities already bestowed upon them.
> I signed up for an eBay account.

> my account was suspended.

> Don’t use eBay.

Been on ebay since 2001 and never had issues.

There's a variety of reasons why OP was banned, email, risk management, using vpn, shared ISP where people have been doing frauds from, other reasons.

This post really shouldn't be grounds to tell people not to use ebay, many people do successfully and have for decades.
I'm not really blaming you here, this attidue is very normal these days, but a mere 25 years ago, most people had no cell phone, no mobile phone, and never, ever suffered mishap as a result.

(Inconvenience is not what I call a mishap)

I grew up in the country, and a few times had to walk 20 miles home, due to a dead car. Being a rural area, after 10pm, I might see 1 or 2 cars the entire walk home (4 hours and a bit).

During the day, there were times my car broke down, or I ran out of gas, so knocking on doors (a mile or so usually awake) was a better choice.

Often, a kind person would have some gas.

Compare this to ... the city. If you can yell loudly, literally thousands of people can hear you.
I don't mean to insult your intelligence but, "changing the laws to give any..." could be just as easily achieved by we common citizens choosing to fund the IRS.
There’s some gotchas with case sensitivity that I honestly can’t remember but I think it was related to some of the more C#-y bits.

As for syntax it really is the .NET elements & the relative verbosity of common things you’d interact with that just make it feel very foreign to me personally. This probably has more to do with Windows and .NET than PowerShell itself though.

Seattle is extremely damp and temperate, so you see a lot of mold and allergens there year round.

If redressing your vitamin D levels doesn't fix it, look for hidden mold and/or allergies.
And if we slowed down even more, we'd have even less death.

It may sound crass. But-- fundamentally, society is making an economic tradeoff between the economic cost of a certain amount of death and the economic cost of taking longer to get places in your car.

Which two countries?

Why? Are you spending time in both, or is it just a backup measure?
You can. All those companies are probably hiring. Every industrial hardware company I know is completely desperate for good engineers.
> Your take assumes that highly paid highly respected jobs aren't a limited resource.

The economy expands to accommodate talent. Jobs are bounded by it. Magically double our collective intelligence, and what we understand as a "job" would cease to have meaning. Suddenly double the number of engineers, and our economy would boom.

Pretty sure EU and US will not diverge so much like Russia did. Russia is also tiny market (both population, GINI, internet penetration). See EU-US Privacy Shield - courts may say but nothing practical.

May be India/Middle-Eastern countries might but still there is so much inter-dependency everywhere - no one dares to annoy other.

There are lots of executives, politicians across EU/US living + having family in either places. So unlikely.
I don’t find any difference in the record-keeping of remote vs. in person meetings. The record button is available to both, but the resulting video files just as unwieldy, and Zoom’s transcripts are garbage.

Nor do I see any increased willingness to hash out complex issues in writing. The moment things get even slightly complex in a thread, it’s “let’s hop on a call.”
Failing to hire cats costs the economy another $2.5 quadrillion, and failing to employ birds - $450 quadrillion. The good thing is nobody can disprove these claims.
Same, discord and twitter both banned. On discord someone wanted to chat, so I opened a PM chat with my new account and said hi. Super suspicious I guess. On twitter I liked a tweet and later wanted to post a tweet but by that point my account was banned. Liking a message is very suspicious also I guess. Bank account also denied with no reason given (Germany), and accounts that advertise with not having to pass the magic algorithm check have fees similar to a netflix subscription whereas the general public gets it free.

I'm surprised paypal hasn't banned me yet! I avoid using it whenever possible anyhow, I'll probably lose access to that sooner or later as well.

Somehow this wasn't a problem before the Internet. What did you have to do to get banned from access to networks of similar size to ebay/twitter, so like a national transport network I guess? It's almost unheard of. What causes this? I guess spam and fraud are the two categories. How do we fix this at the root instead of having secret judges, is having to show government ID to the ISP a solution so you can be convicted for fraud, and blocking non-compliant ISPs? Seems authoritarian as well.
My advice: get a watch. A nice Seiko, Citizen, etc dumb watch.

I found myself always pulling my phone out to check the time, then getting sucked in by notifications.

Now, I only use my watch to check the time, and find myself pulling my phone out way, way less in public.

From my very limited understanding of the software I understand, that it doesn't compare an earlier version with a later version as you would with hash sums, but rather utilizes ffmpeg to check if something odd/irregular shows up. In addition, it can use PAR2 files which can be used to restore the original version which would not easily be possible with hash sums.

But as I said, I just read the description, nothing more.
Daily morning and afternoon exposure to bright light might actually be more important to reducing depression than direct vitamin D supplementation. Low vitamin D might just be an indicator that you are not getting enough sunlight. Sunlight also affects melatonin and serotonin levels, and synchronizes your Circadian rhythm. Not sure why that article doesn't talk about Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and how bright light therapy is considered an effective treatment for it.
You're assuming that economic outcome is the one metric by which all people should be equalized. This seems a bit presumptive doesn't it?

> culture, genes, cognitive abilities, etc. are inferior

No one said they are inferior, only that they seem produce different results. It's you who is characterizing these as inferior. Equality of opportunity is apparent through the fact there is no policy (that I'm aware of), explicitly targeting people by, say, race (whatever that means), and that such policies are illegal.

This fact alone however provides no guarantee of economic equality, nor was it ever intended to, nor has economic equality ever been a goal of legal equality. The reasons for economic inequality are myriad and complex, and people have devoted their entire careers to their study. Did you watch the video I linked? What do you think of Dr. Sowell's perspective?
This is true.

But how does someone take advantage of it without changing their current behavior: write an entire paragraph and do 2 line breaks.

Always end a sentence with '.\n'? Manually format lines so no line have more than 80 characters?
"Business" is not a job, though, and that is where the most brutal differences lie.

If some business (say, SpaceX) is 10 000 times as big as another business (Joe's Plumbing Co.), why shouldn't the earning scale too?
I quite liked Launchy and I can recommend it. This being said, it's inexplicable to me why this particular feature isn't supported on Windows out of the box. The nearest equivalent (search feature in the Start menu) is pretty bad.
As a long time user, it sounds like you would be greatly impacted by such a ban. Watch out! If you at all depend on eBay for your livelyhood, have a backup plan or parallel path. eBay is shit.
It depends on the means to achieve equality, right? And you also have to account for the possibility that a given idea to improve equality actually reduces it.

But sure, if you observe equality in a well-functioning system after the fact, I could certainly believe that everyone is better off.
>A lone hamlet near the coast might have no name at all.

In the US, a lot of addressing was rationalized to support E911 service. So for example, a "camp" (i.e. a cabin without utilities) I would sometimes rent used to just have a name. But at some point it got an address on the dirt road it sits on. They also did things like change a road segment name if there was a gap between it and another segment with the same name.
mindfulness is a buzzword. It can mean different things for different people, there's only an internal definition per person. People are always selfish. Selfishness should be in a balance.
Probably not with the scale of frauds they receive. The fastest method is to auto-ban and analyze. Ebay did the right thing here, unfortunately, its popular amongst carders.
+1 Million on this!

Our efforts to avoid accidentally helping a rich person via means testing cause for more damage to our ability to help poor and middle class people.

Just give everybody the same amount of cash and leave it at that! There are few enough rich people (almost by definition) that it won't save much to exclude them.
Without reading the articles themselves, we can’t judge those titles. It is sometimes true that truly evil forces are responsible for progress.

Modernization is not inherently good or bad. That it might be propelled by an organization that itself is evil says nothing about the author or modernization.

I mean, If people have no distraction at night, it's not uncommon for many to be too mentally excited to fall asleep. But your other symptoms means you have something else going on. It doesn't need to be catalogued as a mental disorder, it could just be you have e.g. bad/cringe memories of the past or minor emotional traumas. You should attempt to reconciliate those memories, relativize their importance or plain forget them. You should attempt to have a meaningful lifestyle routine by doing meaningful activities/virtues. e.g. I encourage you to maintain a hapiness scale journal, where you note and rank what makes you the most happy when you experience it. Note relevant metadata such as how much is this specific activity reconsummable (recyclable pleasure) this accounts for sports, arts in all mediums, etc
Loneliness in excess can be like a disease and must be fighted as a priority. It's not that hard to socialize, humans are generally quite welcoming in the right contexts. But like a muscle it needs practice. You could e.g easily contact again an old friend and see him while doing a cool activity (e.g. laser tag or karaoke) or you could start a new passion like being taught dancing, and meet new people there like a highschool 2.0

as for pharmacological "solutions" to pathological excessive anger, I don't know if specifics exist for this emotion but I assume e.g an NMDA antagonist could help during a crisis (magnesium lthreonate) or more potently memantine, memantine induce brain fog though at least at first. This reduce a neural excitatory overload. You could also calm yourself with l-theanine, ashwaganda and/or glycine (very underatted, help to sleep too).
I would also recommend taking an antioxidant like ALCAR for general health.
While what I suggested is benign and can be combined, that is not the case for memantine. it is a potent medication with side effects and tradeoffs, although trying doesn't cost anything. But it is essential to understand that generally pharmacology is not a proper solutions and is generally a slippery slope with side effects and tolerance mechanisms (except for the benign things I mentionned) and you will get much more in life through meaningful lifestyle changes than with pharmacology. And while durable lifestyle changes are hard to instill, again body doubling comes to the rescue, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/GetMotivatedBuddies/
Alcohol should be strongly avoided, it can destroy lifes. Alternative to podcasts at night and glycine for sleep would be calm ambient music, meditation and ASMR. You might also wanna check your blood pressure (unlikely).
Indeed you might benefit from therapy/paid coaching.

also.. any youtube podcasts to recommend?

> An unfortunate and extremely ironic side effect of standing up for freedom against a mostly-free state

From his situation, USA is the most authoritarian regime in the world, and its clutches reach very far. The state crimes he exposed are still unresolved, and his prize at home for denouncing them would be solitary confinement.

Definitely the most unlikely person to endanger his precarious situation by criticizing his own protection, though.
> * Accepting that most fraudsters will just go 'free'.

But already go free, there is staggering ammount of fraud, counterfeit, stolen and illegal goods on Ebay.

Their system is more like "10,000 criminals who go free, 15 random people get banned and the person who wrote the algorythm get a raise and no-one measures the amount of crime or gives a shit"

No alternatives and here's the Councils announcement: https://www.richmond.gov.uk/services/parking/parking_machine...

Some have extended to non-residential areas. One of the biggest parking apps says this:

Q: "I have no network coverage and need to park?"

A: "Move quickly to an area with better network coverage and complete your parking transaction with PayByPhone... Pay for your parking via other methods such as PayPoint or via the Pay & Display machine where available"

Reference: https://support.paybyphone.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360010478...

FYI 'Pay and Display' are the parking meters being removed, 'PayPoint' might be in SOME convenience stores/shops. But if you know London these can be 20-30 mins walk or none there are all at your parking destination. Good luck attending an appointment during work lunch times!
This data collection doesn't require a smartphone to pay, though.
>>> Hey, we don't like this feature anymore, is anybody using it?"

>> Yes, we're using it"

> Okay, it's gone"

[rage]

The one thing I agree with in the thread is the confusion of

foo = lambda (x,y): x+y
foo(1,2) #boom

I think a better approach would be to raise warnings when sole parameters are parenthesized, unless written as

foo = lambda (x,y),: x+y

which is kinda gross, but cogent with the weirdness of singletons:

a, = [1]
b = (1,)
c = 1,

Alas, I've never had Guido's ear, so I shout into the void.
"Pattern matching", in the context of functional programming languages, most often refers to the complex combination of destructuring bind and conditional control flow based on which binding succeeded.

This article describing the Python feature of multiple assignment demonstrates only the destructuring assignment (assignment, because it is Python and these variables can be reassigned). There is no control flow tied to this operation, except for the exceptions that can be thrown when the LHS and RHS have incompatible structure.

Clojure is another example of a language with destructuring binding that is not tied to a control flow construct. Clojure functions and `let` bindings can use a destructuring syntax to bind to elements in a data structure. There is no tightly-linked control flow structure that goes along with this binding mechanism. It is my understanding that there are several libraries available that implement pattern matching, but I do not use these.

Most often, when I have seen pattern matching described to an audience with a background in imperative languages, it is compared to a super-powered switch statement. This gives the impression that the important part is the control flow. Languages such as Python and Clojure show that there is inherent value in the destructuring assignment/bind, even out of the context of control flow.
It's a radio I can use to summon help. Why would I _ever_ want to be without that?

Turn the notifications off, or get something like Tasker that can turn them off and on for you on a schedule. Otherwise, keep it in your pocket. This device has no control over you that you don't allow it to have.
Just have a separate work phone and leave that at home. It's better for a lot of other reasons too regarding you controlling your phone instead of your employer.
That narrative might work for you, but the bio-hack narrative might work for others.

Maybe the takeaway is to go into things with a positive attitude but also take a personal inventory and adapt if something that is supposed to work doesn’t work for you.
5000 isn't too much when you're catching up from a deficiency.
No, 5000 IU per day is generally considered the highest non megadose. Make sure it is good quality (D3, USP in the US), and it should be fine. Some people say also to take K2 (also make sure it's USP in the US), but I'm not sure the exact supposed mechanism of protection from adverse effects from D3. Something about preventing calcium from leaching from the bones and accumulating in the blood, I think.
It doesnt work (renders unuseably) on mobile (brave/android).
It seems to me it would be more economical to rent a truck to haul things if you only need to do so occasionally. If you're a tradesman or a contractor yeah you will need to own a truck. If you're a white collar desk jockey? Come on now.

I'd much rather spend half as much on gas, make much smaller payments and then just pay U-Haul $100 or so for the one or two days a year I might need one (plus you can rent a much larger truck than a Silverado/F-150). So I drive a subcompact hatchback and rent a truck if/when I need one.

It's not even for the environment either. I just don't like sitting up high and I find large vehicles difficult to park and maneuver.
It is essentially the same thing, with FancyZones only adding the ability to enhance default presets with custom layouts - am I wrong?

No, but we are supposed to remove the barriers that prevent men becoming nurses and teachers, women becoming truck drivers, etc., etc.
Still amazed by the amount of external production dependencies these VSCode extensions all seem to require. I wonder how tight Microsoft's grip is on extension security and how deep any of their automated checks might go.

The extension functionality does look great though. I wrote some similar functions in my nvim which I would have really a hard time living without.

This is what I was going to say. As an American, I have no recourse in these situations. Europeans are fortunate to have governing bodies with at least some teeth. Not sure how that applies to UK citizens post-Brexit, though.
25 years ago there was a pay phone in every gas station, and in denser areas in every corner market, bus terminal, grocery store, hotel, ..., not mentioning those installed directly along the street.
Thanks! Any idea if it can be customized ahead of install? Trying to walk these users through setting it up themselves would be unlikely to succeed. They can install a program, but likely not succeed in customizing what the program does.
I won't but whatever you were doing got you banned. I don't rely on ebay for sales, its really good for buying collectibles or selling them.
I did say 'basically', to not have to explain the entire architecture of the system for the benefit of newcomers. But yes, if we are being pedantic, ocamllsp internally uses merlin. To be precise, new users are directed to use ocamllsp wherever possible instead of merlin directly.

I don't think this matches ADHD symptoms.

I have many ADHD symptoms and I personally cannot concentrate on anything unless I have absolute silence and no distractions. Any background videos playing would ruin my ability to focus. Even being able to hear someone in the next room is too distracting for me.

Developing stories in your mind that make you angry sounds like some other issue. I have never experienced that. I would genuinely recommend talking to some sort of mental health professional because that is not healthy.

Anecdotally agree with this. I have vitamin D deficiency, was given 50,000 IU a week vitamin D to get it up. Never worked.

Went to the beach one week and got blood tested again and my vitamin D levels climbed significantly. Now I make it a point to get outside and sunlight
I'm also doing this and I like it.

One of the most useful things for my case is the access control. Basically, I want my services to be accessible from anywhere, but only by me. This allows me set up authentication before the requests even hit my server.

If you want your services to be world accessible, that works well, too. They even have an agent that initiates the connection from the server, so it works well behind ISP CG-NAT, dynamic IPs, etc, and you don't have to mess around with incoming connection filtering.
