As long as these bean counting MBA bloody management pigs get to decide where our money goes, we will all end up doing absolutely nothing of value. When I was in HS, we had one of those MBA principals incharge for a while, and it was absolute hell-couldn't do anything at all of value, lest it be an unforgivable sin. and then we had a technical principal who didn't care about the BS, and we were able to do some amazing projects, get funding for whatever crazy idea we could elaborate on and ended up ranking really good nationally in a few competitions.

The Biblical “magi” are not the same as the “Persian clan” referenced in your source. The Biblical word is simply a generic term for “astrologers” or “magicians” but which is rooted in the Persian meaning. In fact, the singular “magus” is used in reference to a Jew who practiced some form of magic in Acts 13:6-8.

Also I’ve worked on commercial aviation software, and maybe three of us even knew the meaning of the word, so I’m curious what domain you saw it in.
I recommend the WEB as a public domain translation. The likes of the NIV and ESV will be troublesome for licensing reasons. The WEB isn’t my favourite translation (I grew up with the RSV and prefer the RSV or ESV), a bit clumsier than the ASV from which it is mostly springs (with changes both missing and extraneous), but it’s public domain.

When people start complaining about criticism, especially "compared to others", is when I start to worry. Its apples and oranges. Yes, the US has it good. But there are so many things shockingly bad and there is no momentum to improve things.

When the rioting starts I sincerely hope people who don't like criticism start fixing things instead of electing a non-idiot fascist to tell them they are better than the rest.

Can we have a logarithmic scale on the y-axis as an option, please?

One could argue that a log scale should be the default for any graph showing a price over time, though it would confuse people who don't know what a log is. In this case it might make it easier to compare what happened around 2018 with what happened around 2020-2021.

No.
If we're anxious, addicted, lazy, having wrong information, being misled - then no. And unfortunately that is the case (most of the time). This assumes that all can think rationally and failure or redundant effort is wasteful. As always, balance is needed.

I swear certain stores in Japan are the worst in this regard. I’ve never come across anything near this bad in any other countries I’ve been to. My wife refuses to go into certain chains and I can’t blame her.

Bright lights, loud music, signages literally everywhere and random yelling of announcements over crackling speaker.

Of course not all stores are like this but I’ve never really cared about noise in shops until I started living in Japan recently.

I am watching the markets in Romania and Germany and they are completely opposites: in Romania, most people I know went for a no fixed rate loan, meaning they change interest every 3 months. The banks are advertising this as the "cheaper" option - you get 4,8% variable interest now instead of 5,5% fixed. And people go into it with a "how bad could it get" attitude. Meanwhile, there are tens of thousands of new units entering the market (Romania tends to expand cities upwards, building 8-10 stories high buildings). I am really curious about how that market is going to develop.

Meanwhile in Germany, I don't see this option at all, and banks have now started pushing* for fixed rates for 30 years at 3% or save/loan accounts where you save for 10 years and they will give you a house loan in 10 years for 1,8% interest.

* we've got letters from all the banks where we have accounts promoting this

A good counter to "I could have made $X bazillion if I'd gotten into Y thing at Z time" is to remember that you could have doubled your money at the horse track yesterday by betting on the right horse at the right time.

So the only question is: what's different between Y thing and horse betting? Did you have enough information at Z time to know you should have invested? Or are you just wishing you could have predicted the future?

Anyway, that's the framing I use to counter the regret of not getting into any given asset that's appreciated a lot in a short period: BTC, tesla stock, etc.

These infrastructure problems are shaping up to be another way for the divide between upper and lower class to widen, and another crucible to cook the middle class in.

As the price of having your own backup power comes down, the willingness of people in power to spend political capital on fixing infrastructure starts to slide. Never mind the “fuck you, I’ve got mine” crowd. With solar panels, a big enough battery pack, and grid power that’s available at least 95% of the time, you can fast charge your vehicle even as the power grid slowly rots around you.
At least charge $1. If a person won't pay that they will never covert to pay anything, ever.
Having easy access to a charger helps a lot too. It takes only a few seconds (with practice) to plug at home or work, and you always have a charged battery. During longer trips you may have to pee or buy a coffee, and you are likely going to stop a bit more than 5 minutes. But I agree that a 5 minutes fast charging session would be nice and help people transition to EV a lot.
"A fairly large mistake" - What do you think the consequences should be for the person who called 911 in this situation?
As usual the answer is that profits cannot exist in aggregate, but somehow they do, distorting the market and forcing the government to borrow money to cover the reduction in the money that is still circulating. Since debts must be paid on time but savings do not have to be spent on time you have an inherent disconnect between how quickly you can borrow and get into trouble and how fast debt can be paid off. Well, the obvious answer to solve this problem is to force urgency upon savers to restore the balance. By introducing a negative interest rate on cash, borrowers can now refuse additional debt as savers cannot threaten the rest of the economy by pulling money out as cash and therefore it is no longer possible to extort a 0% interest rate out of people that don't want to be in debt in the first place. Since the artificial zero lower bound no longer exists, savers must now compensate borrowers for their tardiness instead of being allowed to exploit them. Have you never wondered why so many people refuse to spend off their savings, resulting in an endless growth in the money supply? Saving is deferred spending and at some point that spending must actually happen, yet in practice it has never happened. We get angry and blame the government for trying to keep the economy alive yet we never get angry at those trying to sabotage it which forces the government to act stupid in response.
I think it reflects maturity in the business that increasingly, video games compete with their past.

That used to be so much not the case that it was a surprise at first: the "gaming fad" died down until another generation of graphics came along and made things a little more complex, animated and detailed. Then it became the business model to bank on repeatedly surfing the technology curve, which eventually gave us AAA size productions. New platforms in different markets like portable systems and web games could reset the curve for a period, but this has been reduced to niche hardware ideas(headsets and hand-cranks). By now, everyone is saturated in games of some sort if they want to play them.

The consumptive packaging has also gradually broken down. While everyone still demands good, quality assets, playing the actual game isn't as highly treasured a thing since one can easily find a gameplay video and experience the surface assets that way. One is left with mostly stuff intrinsic to interactivity: well-crafted scenarios, the chaos of physics behaviors, the emotions of another human opponent or ally.
I often envy people who get to read these great books for the first time - I promise you that you will not be disappointed. If you have not read Lonesome Dove I would recommend that in the near future. For some reason they remind me of one of another.

Exploitation is any relationship where one party profits much more than the other party. It is opposed to a mutually beneficial relationship, where both parties profit approximately the same.

Of course, the crux of whether something is mutually beneficial or exploitatative is how you define "much more" vs "approximately the same".

In (chattel) slavery, it is quite clear that the slave gets almost nothing, while the master receives huge benefits, so almost everyone agrees that it is a form of exploitation.

Some people also consider most employment contracts as exploitative (wage slavery), as the owners of a company extract more money than the workers get in compensation (profit is essentially exactly the difference between what the workers and capital owners were payed and what the vue of their work was - and it is entirely the property of the owners, not the workers). Whether you believe the difference between the value you bring to the company and the wages you are paid is large or small will more or less determine whether you think the company is exploiting you or you are in a mutually beneficial relationship with it - and neither option is objectively right or wrong.

Still, the difference isn't as arbitrary as you make it out to be.

Regarding Basil II, an empire shouldn't stay in/depend on just one dynasty, or just one exceptional person (even though it helps having such person at the helm), I'd say the rot was there even when Basil II was on the throne but the latter years proved that in the absence of such an exceptional leader there was almost nothing holding it up all together.

I stand by my opinion regarding the Heraclius era. I would have said Justinian, but one can still see traces of the Roman heritage here and there during his reign, but after Danube limes fell in the late 500s it wasn't the "hellenised" Romans battling the Slavs and Avars, but the Byzantines (yes, I know they were calling themselves the Rhōmaîoi).

Back to Heraclius's reign, once the Arabs came on the scene things were totally, totally different. I know people now like to diss on Pirenne for his Mohammed and Charlemagne and for how he insisted on the disruption, in fact the total destruction, of most of Mediterranean trade caused by their advent on the historical scene, but he was, in essence, right, especially when it comes to the "Western" Mediterranean (not sure how I would exactly define "Western" Mediterranean for that period, hence the quotes). Things were never the same after that. Also, the Byzantine Iconoclasm phenomenon wouldn't have happened without the close contacts with the Arabs, and, again, this is of course my own personal pov, Iconoclasm is totally a non-Roman-like phenomenon.

Sorry, no. I have JetBrains and have since stopped using it for go development. It's too slow, too buggy, and lacks the ecosystem that VS code has. I still use it for Java because the rest are even worse

A language that depends too much on IDE integration for usability is a real problem, because now you have tool fragmentation as everyone goes different routes with varying levels of success to fix the deficiencies in your language. In the end you end up rolling your own tools as I have done, which is the absolute WORST of all worlds.

Go was supposed to be simple, but all it succeeded in doing is shifting the complexity elsewhere and calling mission accomplished. When you're designing a language, it's VERY important to understand the difference between the emergent complexity of the domain, and the inherent complexity of your design. The latter can be fixed, the former can only be managed - in ways that are already well researched (or just swept under the rug, as go has done).

Too much magic and too much "clever" re-purposing of existing paradigms (file names, capitalization, implicit contracts, etc) makes for an infuriatingly bad design.

> "A little past college age now, but even people I know in their late 20s have given up on dating and such."

A major reason is that romantic relationship experience compounds, and so it's difficult to start with relationships later in life. For many people, it's much harder to start a first romantic relationship, than it is to develop subsequent ones. Multiple rejections early on, especially when other people seem to find relationships easy, can lead to reduced self-esteem ("Am I creepy? What is wrong with me?" etc.). It can lead to habits such as having a huge fear of rejection and flirting through physical touch, which leads to a lack of confidence reinforced by further rejection, which further erodes romantic confidence in a negative feedback loop.

Low-quality romantic advice on the internet, such as on Reddit, worsens the problem. Anecdotally, I've found the common, highly-upvoted advice of telling a person "I like you" before you're dating to never once work in my personal experience, while leaning in and pausing while paying attention to social cues to kiss on a date actually led to relationships.

My advice to any guys in their 20s trying to date would be:

1) ignore most internet advice on dating (maybe not this comment, but absolutely avoid incel communities and 4chan),

2) consider an experienced psychotherapist for anxiety if you have rejection anxiety, and

3) try to observe a male friend who is good at relationships who is a moral person, and see what he does (e.g. jokes in a flirty way, and notice how he flirts with touch); if you don't know a friend like this, try to make one (e.g. through a social activity like rock climbing or martial arts).
> I’m curious to hear what you guys think—-and how you determine the value of crypto.

The value at any point in time is determined on the exchanges. I think a better question is what changes the value, creates the volatility, and so forth.

Whenever someone says "I could have made X money if I put it into Y" I say "yeah, crystal balls are in short supply".
Honestly, no way to tell at this point. Low interest rate and QE enabled all sorts of funny money shenanigans. Like startups raising billions with no real revenue and wildly unprofitable unit economics. Crypto benefited greatlyfrom this low interest regime too. If you had to borrow money at 8% interest, you wouldn't be as callous with it.

Crypto has only existed in this funny money monetary environment. Good chance it all collapses if interest rates are too high by the time of the next BTC halvening (iirc around mid 2024) and there aren't enough bids to perpetuate the "next cycle will be bigger than the last" pattern.

But at the same time, its also true that the awful central bank management that prompted the creation of BTC is also at its peak awfulness right now.

So really, wait and watch.
Seems like someone forgot to tell the designers they needed a machine shop.

As I learned from a quotation which is attributed to Mark Cuban, so-called “cyptocurrencies” are collectibles like baseball cards, rare postage stamps, and French impressionist paintings. Fundamentally they're all fads. None of them have any significant inherent value. Typically two types of people purchase them: either avid collectors or speculators.

Don't gamble. It's not a productive use of your time. It's also a vice. Spend your time doing something that is valuable and productive. Don't fritter it away or one day you will probably regret it.

You have to understand the theory behind the religion of Socialism/Communism/Democracy/Whatever The Current Re-Brand Is.

If Italy were to pay market rate on its debt it would be negative as the implementation of negative intereset rates on cash reenables the market mechanism of allowing a debtor choose how much he wants to be in debt. The 60% debt to GDP mandate of the eurozone could become obligatory and would result in all EU countries refusing to take on more debt, forcing the interest rate into deep negative territory.
