Tamil Brahmins have mostly been at the receiving end of caste discrimination in the last century or so. It's one of the reasons so many of them emigrated to Northern parts of India and, of course, the USA as well.

EV Ramaswamy, revered even today as Periyar (elder one) in Tamil Nadu, (in)famously gave a speech calling for their genocide in 1973 [1].

Brahmins are mostly persona non grata in Tamil Nadu. There are 3 Tamil Nobel laureates, apart from the mathematician Ramanujam. Unfortunately all 4 of these were/are Brahmins. While laureates like Tagore are celebrated in their home state (West Bengal), you won't find any institute, road or even classroom named after these worthies in Tamil Nadu. Not unlike how Ahmadi Nobel laureate Abdus Salam was treated in Pakistan.

FTC reports $329M lost to crypto scams in Q1 2022
Wow, that's the kind of thing that makes you feel like you've "arrived" in the future.
Why on earth did you get downvoted? O_O

Many crypto enthusiasts at some point argue that a) stocks and fiat currencies are shared social fictions, so b) what's the big difference between them and crypto? There was a meme that went around a few years ago which said something to the effect of "Your parents don't understand crypto because they think money is real."

There is some truth to this argument. Stock prices can diverge wildly from fundamentals, and I can understand how people can look at various stocks and throw their hands up in the air.

At the same time, I think this argument misses the point somewhat. Which is that it is the shared part of "shared fiction" that matters. What convinces millions upon millions upon millions of people that dollars should be used is the fact that everyone else is also convinced; not that the exact price of, say, a chair, is somewhat arbitrary.

Again, please understand that a mechanism for exerting control over a market is not the same thing as the primary reason for exerting control over a market.

USD is in part a method to exert control over the oil industry. You are asking me to believe that if it went away, the US would throw up its arms, get rid of a substantial portion of its military, and stop trying to control the oil market. That's not a reasonable claim to make, there is no possible world where this would play out the way you're describing.

Do not confuse a mechanism with a motivation.
It's like Tay.
Wouldn't regulating the industry put it out of business?

Taxing the fuel allows the industry to evolved towards an optimal solution. Regulating it does not.

Just look at how government regulation of the production, distribution, and price of infant formula resulted in mass shortages, as the manufacturers are unable to adapt.

Your mom's stove has the stupid +/- touch UI, just like mine. Using a knob would solve the problem. I am not complaining because +/- is easier to clean.

The other issue is that induction is invisible, there is no flame. But moving stuff around on x-y has the same effect as with a gas stove. On induction, the pan is the stove. Take it off the induction and the heat subsides. Move it off center and you heat only part of the pan.

> blockchain can be good shelling point

I can absolutely guarantee that the school generation would not naturally gravitate to the blockchain as a source for social interaction, since it's not (yet) running social media. I'm assuming TikTok (if it's common to post your own videos and not just consume?) or Snapchat (or whatever came next, that's probably old enough to be uncool by now I guess?)

EDIT: I just saw the suggestion that school administrators be identity providers for a crush-admission website. OK, now I'm _sure_ this must be satire. Well played.
It seems we read the same article and understood it differently. The announcement post said :

"Say Anne from Kentucky helps 4,000 people learn how to build container gardens via her Wordpress blog every month. She would receive $1,000 monthly from the search engine in return."

To me this sounds like the idea of this model is to allow an average person doing casual blogging to make significant income? Given this premise, can we make it work?

To be clear I absolutely love the idea, I think it sounds fair and in the spirit of the web that I would like to see. The web needs innovative ideas like this, unfortunately I do not see this concrete one being viable.
This seems to be a mix of Charles Taylor and some kind of High Times letter to the editor.

Taylor, on his use of "postmodern:"

> “Postmodern” is intended to recall Robert Brandom’s recent nonstandard use of this term for a sort of Hegelian synthesis of the best of the ancient and modern worlds.

source: https://brinkley.blog/about/

The author then confuses Taylor's "postmodern" with more common definitions here:

> Stop and think about how more and more humans started to describe themselves as being “postmodern” at the same time that more and more humans used more and deeper drugs to get higher and higher

I don't think that was intended to deceive. A more charitable take is that the author likes saying "postmodern" to seem intellectual.
Lots of politicians in America violated their own stay at home orders, like Gavin Newsome.

Friends/family would ask me for suggestions on TVs. I used to point out all of the things, and then they would comment about the same as you just did. Once they knew it was there, they couldn't NOT see it anymore.

Now, I just tell people to get a TV that they can afford and they like the picture on when they look at them. After that, if they are happy with it and someone else comes over and points out things to them, tell that person to shove off and don't let the door hit them on the way out. You come over to my place and complain, feel free to buy me what would make you happy. Otherwise STFU!

In fact, the genus Cinnamomum which contains cassia and ceylon (C. cassia and C. verum, respectively) is pretty large and diverse. Sometimes what people refer to as cassia can actually be one of several species, e.g. C. burmannii, which is also often referred to as korintje. There are others that can be ambiguously named. E.g. the aromatic compound camphor is harvested from camphorwood (Cinnamomum camphora), which is not to be confused with the tree known as camphorwood in Australia, Cinnamomum oliveri.

I have no real point here other than cinnamon (i.e. the genus Cinnamomum) is fascinating and confusing in equal measures and people should definitely read up on it.

In the US, you're generally paying extra for real wasabi (it'll be on the menu, in a better Japanese place). Honestly: unless you're like a connoisseur of wasabi, the "fake" stuff is a more effective product; real, freshly grated wasabi is kind of watery and weak. Certainly, if you're one of those "mix wasabi into the soy sauce" people, real wasabi isn't what you want.

Dalits (and many other "backward" castes) get reservations in education and government jobs and promotions all the way up to retirement. If they emigrate and their children become citizens of another country, the children would lose this benefit. These factors could be a reasonable deterrent to emigration, especially now that the difference in pay between India and western countries is not as high as it used to be.

It really depends on who you ask. The most "successful" companies don't whitehat their way there. Just open any modern social media website and tell me if they are respectful of the users — and you can see that part. SEO is mostly invisible so they really don't have to care about you.
Time yes, but also “no lapses in self-discipline” is a factor as well.
Stopping people from using AI is sort of like banning people from doing math. Maybe it can work for awhile, but in the long run computers just keep getting faster, and algorithms to make effective use of existing hardware get better.

I'm more interested in the question of who benefits from AI? If it just creates more concentration of wealth then the world may be worse off. If it benefits all humanity, then the world is better off. How do we get the latter instead of the former? It might come down to sensible tax codes enacted by well-functioning democracy. Or maybe we need to invent whole new economic systems.
Let me try to explain. If I'm a legitimate small sender of email, then Gmail requiring that my email server solves a cryptographic challenge (Hashcash or a more modern version of it) that takes a minute to compute isn't a big deal if I only send 5 emails per day. All of my outgoing emails are going to be delayed by a minute which won't affect me at all, even though it's computationally slow.

On the other hand, spammers are likely sending hundreds of emails per minute per server, so limiting them to 1 email per minute would have significant consequences for them.

I hope this demonstrates the disproportionate effect Hashcash (or modern equivalent) would have on spammers when compared to legitimate senders?

We use exactly the same idea for secure password storage. Password verification is slow, really slow, on purpose. This makes it "slow for legitimate password verifier" (the website you're logging into), but it also makes password cracking on a large scale completely infeasible.

Yes. I would have written exactly what you did here, but then I’d probably have to fend off the comments you are referring to.

So I worded it more diplomatically, or ambiguously.

Shame; it’s interesting to get challenged. At least I got to read it before it got flushed.
Related, I can't remember where I heard this, so take it with a grain of salt (Or if you're feeling helpful, find a source. I could not.), but I was told of an industry funded study on the effects of neonicotinoids on bees, that did not find any ill effects. They did this by using two fields, one that was sprayed with neonicotinoids, and one that was not, and found that bee colony health did not differ between the colony next to the sprayed field, and the one next to the control.

The problem was the fields were separated by only about 100 meters, so both colonies grazed on both fields.

The other trick is conducting studies when/where Varroa mites are less prevalent. It is believed that neonicotinoids harm bees by impairing their resistance to these mites (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-44207-1), so if the mites are not present, no ill effect is found.

Not only does this mean the customer overpays, but the fish that end up on the plate are often ones you wouldn't want to eat in the first place. Escolar, which often shows up instead of tuna, contains histamines that can cause very disturbing side effects...

Escolar is delicious, and I'd be disappointed to learn that the "white tuna" I was getting was albacore (blech). Also: I don't think histamines have anything to do with the GI side effects of overconsuming escolar.

The whole article is pretty weak. "Stay away" from artificial vanilla, it says, but then: Cooks Illustrated triangle-tested this with panels and found that in baked goods, artificial vanilla is actually what you want. Your cinnamon is... cassia! Look for real Ceylon cinnamon on the label! Why? Who's to say?

The idea that you need to buy milk from local farms, or switch to nut milk, to avoid detergents is especially funny. I think they're just writing this stuff to grab attention, not because they have any insight into food counterfeiting. Belle Cushing was one year out of Brown when Conde asked her to put this together; I assume the research was a series of Google queries.

It's annoying because there really are interesting (and problematic!) counterfeiting issues. I'm terrified of supermarket olive oil. Too bad Conde has no better advice than to find a "tasting bar".

The statement is about relative timings, to be clear, and you agreed with that.

I'm not trying to be clever here to win an argument, I really just think that good relative timing is implied by "accuracy", and good wall-clock timing is not--that's "performance". It makes sense to me that these terms are separate, so I can say something like "I have a cycle-accurate emulator that runs at 25x realtime".

For stuff like game systems, you generally don't need a ton of wall-clock accuracy anyway. You're going to be plugged into some kind of LCD panel, and you just need to make sure that it gets fed with the correct data every 16 ms or whatever the correct update rate is. The fact that your input controller isn't getting probed at the exact right time relative to the screen update is kind of a non-issue.

I know perfectly well how to make a gravy from scratch. It's not hard, anyone can do it. Gravy is just flour, fat, stock, and seasoning. Cook it long enough without seasoning and you have a roux. Cook for a few minutes and add milk and you've got a white gravy.

But for a brown gravy to be served with dinner, most people own one fridge/freezer. They aren't going to sit there and reduce chicken or beef broth to make stock, doing the little ice-cube-in-a-ziplock trick, and virtually all store-bought shelf-stable stocks are horrible and virtually indistinguishable from broths. Most don't have the room and don't want to spend the time.

It is vastly easier and more time efficient when getting home from work with mouths to feed to use an off-the-shelf product and doctor it up than it is to go through all the steps needed to produce a similar quality gravy, and there's virtually no nutritional difference between one and the other despite the snobbish protestations of people like Alton Brown, who has never been involved at any level of professional food preparation. He's a drama nerd who found a niche, not a chef.

Go look at a restaurant supply store website. Marvel at all the fun powders and bouillon and other flavor enhancers they have. If Michelin star restaurants can use them, so can you.

Anyway, say you want to make fried chicken. You know that buttermilk is a great marinade. How many different things can you use to achieve a similar result?

You can:

1. Just use buttermilk

2. Rehydrate buttermilk powder and use that

3. Use ranch dressing

4. Use a ranch dressing packet

5. Thin out yogurt and use that

6. Use kefir

7. Literally use any other slightly acidic dressing

The important thing is NOT the buttermilk. It's the acid in the buttermilk that helps keep the meat tender, and the viscosity that keeps it stuck to the meat. I rarely use it, because I don't keep buttermilk around. I usually use either ranch or off-the-shelf Italian dressing.
I’m from Florida. You’re crazy. Both are equally bad. If you want fresh orange juice, buy Florida oranges and squeeze the juice yourself. They aren’t very good for eating though. For that you want California navels.

Linux Laptop – HP Dev One Is Available
> But with the intervention of chemicals, of substances, with the modifications of consciousness that make us high, we somehow rise up to a perspective “above” these “earthy” worries.

Is this true? I think about the same things without drugs, perhaps just with more consistency and structure. But there aren’t many, if any days in which I don’t seriously contemplate how I’m different from a bee, how strange it is to be anything at all, wonder what perception could be like from a body with different vision, smell, or senses I don’t have, and so on.

I guess drugs can help explore those thoughts, but they certainly aren’t a requirement and I’m not otherwise restricted to thinking about paying the bills and the next episode of… Whatever people watch.

I’m not sure this theory matches my experience well at all. I do see some overlap.

As far as postmodernism and drugs aligning goes, there are likely many other relevant events which coincide as well. It’s a convenient pairing, it certainly seems compelling, but it doesn’t seem like a wrap to me.

For one thing, postmodernism is wrought with skepticism towards any kind of objectivity, the notion of authoritative narratives, a discreet self, and linear, concrete histories.

A lot of cultures that ate a whole lot of drugs did not come to remotely similar conclusions with psychedelics. In fact, some had practically inverse conclusions. Why? Well, I assume because environmental factors matter. Context matters. I think drugs would certainly help explore Post modernist ideas, but they wouldn’t generate them. They wouldn’t be required to arrive at these ideas.

I’m clueless and uneducated, so disregard everything I say.
