Watching interviews from Jordan Peterson on youtube did help me a lot recently.

One good advice is that you are paralyzed because you fear what is before you.
You don't know how to manage it, and your instinct to facing danger is "don't move". What you have to do is to think about the danger of not moving, and the cost associated. You use one fear to mitigate the other.

There is also something that I can't really explain about changing your vision and "Take responsibility for your life. Accept the burden that come with it".
> since the beginning of 2020 until now basically everyone I know has had covid

Yes, but that is the entirety of the pandemic, including the Omicron wave. Prior to Omicron (i.e. Winter 2021), it was estimated only about 30% of Americans had contracted Covid. Just in the last 6 months it has increased to over 60%. But in my original comment, I specifically called out the time frame from the beginning of the pandemic to November 2020 in the US. The total number of Americans to have contracted covid by that point was actually quite small, and very few people personally knew anyone, or at most one or two people, who had actually had the disease. It was still largely something people heard about through the news, and saw secondary effects of like mask mandates, rather than something they personally had experienced by that point.

Now take that same death rate, halve it, and spread it not over 6 months, but 24, and yes, it would be very easy for things to feel like business as usual, even if 1.7 million individuals in China had died from the disease. The point isn't that China has had it just as bad as the rest of the us. The point is that even if they have faired remarkably well comparatively, 1.7 million deaths is entirely plausible in a country with 1.4 billion people and some of the strongest state controls over individuals on the planet.

> And how do you explain they didn't have mass lockdowns for 2 years and now they are back?

The reason they are back to extreme lockdowns is Omicron. Just look at the peaks elsewhere in the world compared to what was considered "bad" waves previously. It makes them look like blips. It's so contagious that even China cannot contain the spread without extreme measures.

This is an impressively well stripped down app. It's all I ever wanted from OmniOutliner (remember when it shipped with OS X?).

Unfortunately, I've been drawn in by the linking functionality in Roam/Logseq and cannot go back to a simple outliner, though this makes me want to.

I don't think I'm a fan of the animated cursor while typing. It somehow makes the typing feel slower, like it takes some physical effort for the cursor to push forward.
The music does sound interesting, but I also wanted to mute it. But at least there are some images later in the page.

People are supposed to seriously take your social policies as beneficial when you use derogatory terms like "old white dudes"?
"Wicked" doesn't mean bad, it means there are inherent difficulties in testing and implementation.

The Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics is what it is. Both Hayek and Friedman both won it, even though they have very different ideas about how the economy should be run. As did Paul Krugman. Yet I've seen no one mention his Nobel prize when it comes time to criticize him.

Even looking at what her study that won her the Nobel showed:

"Banerjee, Duflo and their co-authors concluded that students appeared to learn nothing from additional days at school. Neither did spending on textbooks seem to boost learning, even though the schools in Kenya lacked many essential inputs. Moreover, in the Indian context Banerjee and Duflo intended to study, many children appeared to learn little: in results from field tests in the city of Vadodara fewer than one in five third-grade students could correctly answer first-grade curriculum math test questions."

You can only get those results by implementing the solution. You can only know it doesn't work by trying it and seeing it doesn't work. That's part of what makes the problem wicked.

And unlike one of the people who responded who wanted to use my statement as support for saying economics is not a "real science". What it really means, is that this shit is hard because it is incredibly hard to conduct experiments in ways that don't irreparably harm some group.

One can argue that those "minor tweaks" required to make capitalism work make it actually more communist / socialist.

On the other hand, if removing central planing makes communism not communism anymore, then adding those "minor tweaks" make capitalism not capitalism anymore.

Btw, central planing is not a requirement for a communism, it's just that one of the largest communist experiments was implemented that way. There was also a king of distributed self-planning, that worked much better as an implementation of communism.
Thank you, exactly what I’m looking for right now

With small defined as sub-6" I can almost recommend my Nokia 3.4. (I measure about 3/16" over.) I remember finding it a surprisingly tall/narrow ratio when I first got it though, so maybe it's suitable depending on what bothers you over 6".
Sorry, but no. Project Veritas doesn't just lack credibility, they have knowingly and intentionally been deceptive and malicious. They do not get the benefit of the doubt.

The group produces deceptively edited videos of its undercover operations, which use secret recordings in an effort to discredit mainstream media organizations and progressive groups. Project Veritas also uses entrapment to generate bad publicity for its targets, and has propagated disinformation and conspiracy theories in its videos and operations.

Using the same phone. The glass on the back is a bit broken after I dropped it for like the 100th time, and the battery life is somewhat mediocre, but otherwise it is the best thing I have ever used.

The S22 (standard version) has slightly bigger screen but is quite similar in size, so that is probably what I will use next.
Another one for the list of attacking users....

You're updating the firmware on a server. The firmware is signed, so the attacker cannot outright put their own firmware on your system. The version you're using currently is secure, and the version you want to go to is secure, but there are versions in between that are insecure. All an attacker needs to do is modify the DNS and http stream to feed the firmware with an RCE to you, and then they can directly take over your server.

I can tell you from experience that it is very, very embarrassing to be low ranked when your friends are not ranked.

A friend of mine was top 100 in a region with 10 million players, and I could barely get to top 10% without help. Granted my friend is absolutely brilliant and has played competitively in all the games he played (e.g. WoW, League of legends, hearthstone, and so on). I wish he could find something in real life that gave him the same rush as "being one of the best".
I've got two bad knees, lower back, and neck from wrestling in College. I'm just about to turn 30 but have the disks/joint of a 65+ year old. It is really depressing that stem cells could help but cost so much. I looked into getting out of the country stem cell therapy and its close to 50K+ USD. Insurance doesnt cover any of that.

Here's to hoping that the cost comes down and insurance starts to cover it.
I understand, thanks for sharing. I've seen some outliners using node attributes to change how the content is interpreted in OPML and thus being able to use them for things beyond plain-text. I'm quite partial to OPML, but HTML is cool too and easier to reuse.

Anyway, congratulations on the impressive first public release. The more outliners the better in my opinion.
How long do you think that's going to last?
Well don't leave us hanging, in what language?
Stop with all the watching (and to a lesser extent listening) and start reading and hoarding books instead. 99% of downloaded content you will never read, but at 0.5~4.0Mb per book just two cheap, but RAIDed with ZFS for safety, 1Tb 3.5" HDDs will last you a lifetime. And that's before turning any kind of compression on!
Not sure I understand the thought behind the statement so apologies in advance if I am barking up the wrong tree, but communication scales beautifully in many different contexts. It's almost like a superpower if done right. I do agree though that poor communication does scale extremely poorly if that's what you meant.

Can you play the media without going through Amazon or Apple to do it? Is the quality guaranteed to be good when I choose to watch it? What kind of ads am I going to get when I click play? Even if there are no ads now, is that guaranteed to be the case forever?

Downloadable, ad free, and DRM free. Music has been selling that way for decades. I've spent thousands on that kind of media, I'd have spent 10 times as much if it had been made available that way. Some people purchase a controlled versions to atone for their pirating sins but that just rewards consumer-hostile business models, and most of the money goes to middle-men that only add negative value to the product they're selling.
To be clear here, what you're saying is that the feelings that others are describing are totally alien to you?

Like you can't understand that humans act this way in these situations?

I don't believe you.
I was a Sony Xperia Compact aficionado until the latest gen was impossible to buy due to the chip shortage.
The numbers on that site are a bit vague and I'm having a hard time making out the chart due to the colours, but they still sold millions of iPhone 13 Minis, right? Plus, you should probably add up the mini + SE as well for "small(-ish) phone demand".

I think you can make a profitable niche selling smaller phones. Most people don't want a 12" laptop either as they consider it too small, but some people do and various companies still make a profit designing and selling them. I don't quite understand why it's so different for phones.
This is my lived experience. I moved from a place without a bag policy to a place with a hefty bag tax. At first I was caught without my reusable bags a bunch of times - each time buying new reusable bags for my purchases (instead of wasting money on the tax)... Now I am awash in reusable bags and I almost never forget them.

For me the shift was very akin to masking up during COVID-19. I found it hard and weird for about 3wks, now it's just part of going out. Leaving the house? You need a mask and your bags.

5% sold were Mini. But I guess let’s axe it if it cuts into profit just a bit.
> Letting your children roam unattended is not child abuse

I'd check your local laws around this. I know people in my city have been investigated for Child Neglect for letting their 7 year old walk to the mailbox alone.

Yes, that's how insane we've become about kids.
Self-hosted on-premise GitLab is much nicer to use than the SaaS gitlab.com instance.

A few years ago (when I used gitlab.com regularly), the hosted version was quite slow and felt like a buggy beta-testing environment. Not sure if it's better nowadays. On the other hand, I'm running two on-prem instances of GitLab for a few years now, and they've been working flawlessly and are fast. (One of them is now upgraded to the Premium plan.)
So it is, I missed the link, thanks.

Great post BTW. That is cool you got to cross paths with John Plevyak. That IFA paper is pretty damn great. He worked on Wasm support for Envoy you know. Maybe Plevyak is your compiler writer? :)
It can feel that way for some people. Seems different per user, there's a preference to change the speed in settings.

Also yet need to remember that you don't need to wait for it, sometimes you might just get mesmerized by it and then it feels slow, but if you just type it will keep up with you. It's only ever the "last" animation that fully completes if you are typing fast.
The problem is, when discussing international sanctions, that most of the finance is probably illegal. The US bans, say, economic activity in Iran. Iran bans economic activity in the US. Now all the finance in both economies is illegal.

Something being illegal doesn't really say what can and cannot be done. Or what is a good idea. Or what is moral. It is a vague signpost and really only matters as far as things can be enforced.

I moved to iOS recently, partly to get an iPhone mini.

It's wonderful to have a small phone.
Agree with you in general, but trampolines are pretty dangerous regardless of the weather and maybe not a great unsupervised activity.
I suffer from this conundrum too. One thing I did observe is that people who don't actively follow the 24/7 news and social media cycle are still are fairly aware of important major events (Ukraine, COVID, etc), as it would be hard to be completely ignorant without living under a rock, so maybe it doesn't have to be a binary thing.
I'd recommend using KeyCastr to show the keystrokes while recording.

What are the benefits of Infra over using Dex to manage OIDC access to Kubernetes?
Sky, A large ISP & Pay TV service in the UK, does the same if you ask for a CD copy of the source, however they ask for a donation to a charity instead of paying them directly. I forget which one - their open source site is currently down - https://www1.sky.com/opensourcesoftware/ - but the site also offers the same source for free via download (atleast when the site is live)

EDIT: Checked with Google Cache: - https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:u4jhnI...

At Sky we’re committed to reducing our impact on the environment and so this year we have set ourselves new challenging targets. Our environment strategy drives operational improvements, is integral to our product development process, inspires actions by Sky people and customers. Keeping the environment at the centre of the Sky philosoply, we would request that a donation is made to the Woodland Trust before we can send off your CD.

However the same requirement is not on their most recent product Sky Glass - https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:4LSbks...
Hopefully they just go to an every other year selling cycle on the mini or something like that.
Same with me. I watched the first seasons of Star Trek: Discovery on Netflix, but this year their contract ended. There is no service available in my country where I can legally watch it.

On the other hand nobody cares about torrents here, so at least I don't need to pay for usenet access to get it :-)
That's a better example, thank you. Reminded me that I know quite a few people with Thalassemia/Mediterranean anemia.

My NAS has a torrent downloading software and an app for my Samsung TV. I just visit my local network web address, add the torrent in the NAS dashboard, and am able to play it from the TV within a few minutes. Most content is great, occasionally there are audio issues or missing subtitles.
I don't think piracy is what is costing you. Data hoarding is.

Even if you wanted to keep a library of all watched movies or series from the past year you'd sit at much lower than 30TB. Do you really need to keep all this data ? How many times in your life will you rewatch all those movies and would it not be faster to find a new download then with the slight risk that it won't be available anymore ? You can probably safely remove/redownload the most popular shows and only keep the more niche ones that may become hard to find, or purge your movie library every few months for stuff that you never rewatch (you can probably even automate that). With decent internet and preferences for popular movies you could even argue that you'd just have to keep around the torrents and re-download your movies on the fly, trading a few minutes of waiting for a much cheaper setup.

There's also ways to optimize the uptime of your server which is essentially a NAS for movies. You could have the big machine off most of the time and use a Raspberry Pi to send Wake On Lan packets when you need it. It's may take an extra minute before it's usable but you would lower your bills significantly.

That $1200 upfront and $55/month sound like at least double what it should be. For a server that may double as a backup for your own files the upfront investment can be seen as worth it. And with the many streaming platforms relying more and more on exclusives, region-locked content that require VPNs that may not even work, time-limited content and increasing pricings your reduced electricity bill may not be far off from what legally viewing the content might cost you.
I have a 3" inch jelly2 and typing, while often annoying for something like urls, is overall ok. For regular texting text to speech works pretty well and the slide to type feature is pretty solid too.

But to be fair I bought it to spend less time on my phone, and the annoyances that it does have make the choice easy lol
> there is no other situation where we require a person to surrender their body—or even a part of it, , like a redundant organ, or even just their blood—to save or preserve the life of another human.

Both the draft (or any form of compulsory service) and taxes are counter-examples.

You're probably going to object to taxes, but it's reasonably well established that wealth is health. (It's also true that taxes are spent on things that don't save or preserve the life of another human.) More to the point, taxes take my time, which I can't possibly get back.

Interesting enough, so does prison.

>Economics as a discipline describes an idealized fictional human-like colony on Mars, locked in a greenhouse. It doesn't even attempt to describe humans living on Earth, so be careful how you interpret it.

I'm an economist, and this is not remotely true. It's not even true for economic theory (international trade, environmental economics).

Here are some economic articles about humans on earth:

Case and Deaton's Deaths of Despair paper: https://mronline.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/15078.full_....

Easterly, The White Man's Burden

Autor et al's China Syndrome on the effect of trade with China: https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w18054/w180...
and their subsequent papers on its effect on social outcomes (marriage, divorce, drug overdoses) and political extremism.

The idea that economists don't study real estate markets is also absolutely false. Google scholar "real estate economics" gives about 2.5 million results. There's the Journal of Urban Economics. There's Glaeser's book Triumph of the City. Et cetera.
Cool, thanks for the recommendations! I don't write a lot of python anymore but I'll check these out.
I think there is a potential issue with funding/sponsorship bias leaking into the consensus of the field, as there is with any field. It's just that economics has ramifications for very core government policy in a way that most other fields don't.

I agree that economists as individuals are working competently and in earnest, it's just that certain economists will find it harder to get funding than others and that could manifest as bias with potentially wide reaching implications.
Have a headphone jack and I'm in.
It is exacerbated by our current system for sure but I think the core of it is still there, genetically. I say that because I remember my old dog would act up if I petted the cat sometimes. Also very young toddlers show envious behaviour when a sibling is born.
> What outliners do you know which allow end-users to feed their data into formulas for processing it without using general-purpose programming languages?

Bit of a pointless constraint, the talk is about outliners, not no-code-datamangment. Which tool today does this even offer on a useful level?

But you can look at leo editor (https://leoeditor.com), which is active for 20+ years, fully scriptable and extendable. Though, it's a hot piece of garbage for laymen. It's offers a bunch of features and plugins even for non-coders, but I'm not sure it would satisfy you for this area, if you can't code. Obsidian is probably better than, even if it has more limitations at the moment.

But I'm not sure if there ever is a tool which will satisfy everyone with just a no-code-approach.
