I just checked my blog. 367 posts. But it’s private with a protected login. It’s written for an audience of one: my son when he’s an adult. Maybe it’s also written for me.

I contend that the best writing and the easiest commitment to regular writing is to write for yourself. Always.

i guess some people just never read douglas adams, or these are the same folks that "tried" to read adams and "just didn't get it"
Doxxing is a very interesting phenomenon. Sometimes it's in the interest of the public (someone who might document mr Epstein, for example), but it's not when someone on a plane, hears someone a seat up say something that upsets them and then they document that person in an act of unilateral vengeance for a real or perceived anonymous transgression. ("I heard this woman say Squaw Valley, I'm sure she knows it was changed and did it with the intention of offending the some members of some tribes that feel offended by the term and I found out this is her, she is the CFO at such and such")
Wait, people see Stanford as a hotbed of interesting thinkers? I didn't think that was their brand.
Not using them seems a good option. But at some point you need to trust someone.

>When Stanford could not remove a student organization for bad behavior, they found other justifications. One such case was the end of Outdoor House, an innocuous haven on the far side of campus for students who liked hiking.

Stanford Daily writes:

>The URGC also wrote that Outdoor House should pursue “meaningful engagement with faculty and staff in the important areas of equity and inclusion to more fully address the cultural concerns of the previous outdoor house that you included so explicitly in your application.” The house’s theme applicants focused on shifting its framework to address issues inherent in centering a house around outdoor culture — a traditionally white and wealthy space. In a Letter to the Community, Outdoor House community members wrote that “Centered on expensive hobbies, the house has not shown enough regard to the people we exclude, the land we recreate on, or perspectives outside the mainstream interpretation of outdoor recreation.”

Doesn't this prove that glasses/lenses ruin your eyesight?
I'm curious about this theory. Do you mean by eating the same amount of food, artificial sweetener makes your body more efficient and increases your food utilization rate? For example instead of 80% of calorie now 90% of food is being used by the body? Looks like a good way to save food, you can just eat less for more.
Why would they be able to make you unhappy but not be able to make you happy? How can they affect one but not both?
It'd be interesting to see what inflation is at if we try to correct for energy prices.

Sure you can just subtract out the energy component of CPI, but that ignores the energy costs that goes into every other good.

I don't find thoughts like the ones in the post very helpful. Once I start thinking about instead of just doing, I've already lost. The only thing that helps me is remembering not giving up in the past, which feels like yoko ono's ladder to yes.

It's a fantasy of libertarians, etc., but I think it is exceedingly rare for someone to have a serious career as a lawyer without a law degree.
It's funny, for a few years I've worked in high frequency trading. And when cutting away nanoseconds from our latency figures, our hardware was getting closer and closer to a "mirror-laser network that could receive and output short messages". We'd literally replace a traditional 40GbE switch with an optical one, that would pass the light without extra "photons-to-electrons" conversion. We'd complement CPU with a trigger-happy FPGA embedding a custom MAC, with the binary messages representing market orders already pre-cooked, just waiting for the balance to change. And at some point, while continuing streamlining that, thinking about that system using an analogy of a hall of mirrors, lenses and a few non-linear state-keeping elements was not that of a stretch from the truth.

The analogy between a hall of mirrors and statefull systems, like CPUs is net perfect. Still, when you think along the lines above or when you hold a CPU in your hand, it is not a big stretch to consider that an "active" device, like a computer could be just a piece of solid crystal, a "passive system".

Intel RealSense vs. iToF Camera
A quick article comparing the intel realsense D435 which uses active stereo to measure depth vs a iToF camera made by my startup Chronoptics.
The trouble is, I think it's painfully clear that the incentives from advertising / social media has led online journalism to a place where speed takes priority over quality.
Something the article misses is that when you become aware of an issue, you do become responsible. Now, we can't act on every problem so inaction has to be on the table. But:

> Mr. Thornley improved on the status quo – but in the process he interacted the problem and was thus caught up in it.

No. The proper response to the wage gap[1] is not to pay women slightly more but still less than the equivalently-qualified man, it's to offer equal pay. That's the base case of not doing anything.

[1] assume for the same of argument it exists and is for sexist reasons. I'm not interested in litigating either side of the issue here.
Dynamic responses also can be cached in a CDN you know...
That's true in exactly the way that disproves your point. Prior to the Federal Reserve era, there were so-called non-fiat currencies, that is, those convertible to silver or gold. Except when they weren't. There were many notable periods of inflation and deflation, and many periods during which convertibility was suspended.

So only in the most narrow sense is it even possibly true that "the US did not have inflation when it did not have fiat money": if you ignore the times when convertibility was suspended, it becomes a slightly more accurate statement, but still not true as it ignores inflation soon after the founding, large deflationary periods in the early and late 1800s, and subsequent inflationary periods prior to WW I. So you have to ignore convertibility suspension and the inflation and deflation in order to argue that there was no inflation or deflation.

The one iron-clad law of "non-fiat" currencies: eventually they will become fiat currencies.
this is cool. streamlit is super cool.

A free market can also create an environment where pets are hurt and owners are defrauded. Regulations reduce waste, improve quality, and create more efficient markets.
I don’t know how he does it. He even answers beginner level questions in r/sql from time to time. If there is a discussion on SQLite on Reddit or HN, you will find Simon commenting and providing insight.

> The silence stems partly, one senior leader in an organization said, from a fear of feeding right-wing trolls who are working to undermine the left. Adopting their language and framing feels like surrendering to malign forces, but ignoring it has only allowed the issues to fester. “The right has labeled it ‘cancel culture’ or ‘callout culture,’” he said, “so when we talk about our own movement, it’s hard because we’re using the frame of the right. It’s very hard because there’s all these associations and analysis that we disagree with, when we’re using their frame. So it’s like, ‘How do we talk about it?’”

> For years, recruiting young people into the movement felt like a win-win, he said: new energy for the movement and the chance to give a person a lease on a newly liberated life, dedicated to the pursuit of justice. But that’s no longer the case. “I got to a point like three years ago where I had a crisis of faith, like, I don’t even know, most of these spaces on the left are just not — they’re not healthy. Like all these people are just not — they’re not doing well,” he said. “The dynamic, the toxic dynamic of whatever you want to call it — callout culture, cancel culture, whatever — is creating this really intense thing, and no one is able to acknowledge it, no one’s able to talk about it, no one’s able to say how bad it is.”
Yes the syntax, but also many of the libraries and conventions are the same. The package management/build tool has a lot of similarity as well. When learning a new language, learning the standard library and the many conventions is a lot of the friction. With Ruby -> Elixir that is a lot less.

Also, I think you underestimate how many people (such as myself) who use Ruby in a very functional way already. Immutability is really not all that different. The only thing is you can't use ! methods and instead have to assign. For example instead of `array.sort!()` it's `array = array.sort()`. It's really not that hard, and in fact I found it easier because I didn't have to remember if `array.concat()` mutated or not.

IMHO the only "hard" things for a rubyist to learn are pattern matching and Actor model (OTP) concepts. Actor model concurrency is definitely different. But for an experienced programmer, that can be learned in a couple of hours (or less).
Yeah... it's hard to decide what's worse, the crammed cages of filth or tossing the rooster chicks into a chipper. Both are terrible fates. We're pretty awful creatures sometimes.

> For my part, I want to use that freedom to tell people that it is unproductive and generally considered rude to make unsolicited, uncharitable, and uninformed assumptions about the marriages of others. Moreso, because I think are giving out factually bad advice.

Perhaps you should respond to the factually bad parts, because that's actually debatable. Leading with "that's rude" is a personal sentiment and all it takes to rebut that is a "no, it's really not".
> is how its generally viewed

Yes and as many historical topics, it a romantic tail that people like to tell rather then a great analysis of the truth.

> The communist governments were put in a position where there were going to have to massacre their own people openly revolting in massive strikes.

That's what many governments in history did. And that's exactly the point, the reason a state fails is when the elites have not enough reason to defend the current system. When they do, then the army shows up. And in Hungary in 1956 they were willing for example.
See Aquinas for details[1]. But in short usury is selling the same thing twice, which is immoral.

As an example, rent to own is a reasonable and moral way to structure a real estate transaction without interest. It’s all about sustainability. Lending at interest requires borrowers, in aggregate, to acquire more funds than the monetary system can provide. It’s clearly immoral to impose conditions that are impossible to meet.

Not all the launches will aim to sent people to Mars. Some will just send cargo, and some will send stuff to LEO.

FTA:

Musk said that the spacecraft is being designed with the plan of flying [..] a total of more than 1,000 flights per year, per vehicle.
Ultimately, Musk says that he hopes to achieve [...] a goal of hitting 1,000 in total in service over the course of the next decade.

So that's one million launches. That's corroborated by the goal of 100 megatons of cargo per year (given that each Starship can carry 100 tons to space).

My interactions with Stanford administrators convinced me that I didn't need a graduate degree and that I would never donate to the school.

Beyond that, I also got totally fed up trying to figure out how to get definitive positive permission to do anything. At one point I asked facilities if I could build an oven to cure composites. They reviewed and approved the plans. But when some other group within the school saw the result, they flipped out and hired a consultant to trump up false hazards. I was only clued in because a sympathetic dean leaked an email to me. I invited the fire marshal out to take a look, and I got a thumbs up to operate.

I eventually moved the oven to rented space elsewhere since I was told I couldn't keep the thing on campus. I was then told my student group would be dissolved if we used off-campus facilities. We agreed that if I brought it back that my group could use it for its intended purpose for a year and then find another solution next year.

I found a crew demolishing it at 4 AM the following morning. A deal's a deal, I guess. We went back to heating our composites with propane heaters aimed into a collapsible wood-and-plastic box, rather than our electrically heated concrete and flame-resistant foam box. The propane solution has been used every year since.
The idea of a well curated bookcase beating access to the World Wide Web is not one I’m so sure about. Permissionless access to a massive consortium of information, even if most of it is low quality, has empowered communities to learn concepts that they normally would not be able to (Khan Academy, Wikipedia, YouTube). Id agree that sitting with a bookcase for a long time would lend itself well to analysis because there is such limited information, whereas the way most people use the internet is by consuming in abundance. But the ease of use and accessibility of the web beats books.
Emerson's Essays: First and Second Series

I read in it about a thousand things I'd experienced but I'd thought were impossible to describe. It was written to inspire people, and inspired me daily for many years—nay, eternally! It—and Emerson's other writings, e.g. Representative Men, Conduct of Life, Nature, Addresses and Lectures etc—gave all the drops of my blood eyes that look upwards.

“…and to give the user the ability to create a Lock Screen that really … ends up looking like a great magazine cover or film poster…”

I think most of Alan Dye’s design problems comes from the fact that he thinks he’s designing a magazine or poster.

It seems like they called the cops because they thought there were uninvited individuals on their property. To go from that to the idea that they did it "to stop unionization" is a leap.

Would they have done the same thing if animal rights protesters, or the Proud Boys, or whoever came and someone thought they were on Amazon property illegally? I think so.
That's a zinger
It may, because it’s an intimidation technique. And because one of the two professions is specifically known for violence, and historically against other union organizers. The other is commonly categorized together with the former, and individual firefighters often internalize that.

Can you please elaborate on the 'depersonalised thinking'?

Will look up the first book. Thanks.
It's funny how the comment section here is already prime example of people having v̵e̵r̵y̵ ̵p̵o̵o̵r̵ no attention management skill. How about we stop lamenting the obvious and start thinking about how we could solve the problem? Theoretically it should be a non-issue since (in theory) every disturbance can be overcome by applying adequate willpower (and abundance of information is probably much harder to create then abundance of willpower - or so I think but i don't see any obvious reason for why it would be any other way; took us about 5000 years to create the internet, but the will to do something great clearly came first - otherwise there wouldn't be a internet, duh!). I see a general conflict here with how our society functions as a whole. Our institutions, everything per default is already designed around stealing our attention. Other than eastern religions, abrahamism is less concerned with letting it's adherent find balance and inner peace in a tumultuous world, it's more concerned with keeping you entangled in a constant struggle within, with yourself, and with god or something. With corporations it's the same, except it's about consuming products now. If we delete this, we will probably revert back into the stone age and if we let it be and add too much willpower there is a chance that our civilisation becomes uncontrollable.

Psychology knows these concepts: Volition and executive functions.
To fix the lack of the former Wikipedia suggests: Nothing, and for the lack of the latter it suggests CBT ( cock and b.., I mean cognitive behavior therapy) a.k.a nothing again, since cognitive behaviour therapy is a pseudoscientific scam that does not work. Also: "More research is required to develop interventions that can improve executive functions and help people generalize those skills to daily activities and settings." Wow, yeah, that is totally the reason for why there are no solutions for this! We just haven't done enough SCIENCE-ing, that's it folks! S C I E N C E!

So, I'm pretty open for new ideas here. Maybe an actual neuroscientist could chime in and lecture us about how our neuronal circuits work together to create attention, how the SAS works or something and how we could improve it. But I suspect my attention span is to short and I wouldn't be able to follow along anyway. Welp...
That first advice about masks, when every expert expected them to work was a bit damning but not all of the problem.

Have you noticed that the public still doesn't know that surface cleaning isn't relevant? Or that masks on open spaces were deemed essential until the policy just shifted to agree with the public actions, without the gained expertise being used at all? (They are useful in crowds, and useless outside of one.) Or that ventilation is essential in closed spaces?

But it didn't stop on that. There was just no useful communication of how crowd immunity worked, just some shit from the crazy "let's kill people" ones, and how it related to vaccines. The result is that the public was surprised by it going down when it did, and in a larger way by the shape of the omicron spread.

And on the subject of vaccines, there was no communication at all about the safety of them... what is unsettling, because they are safe to a nearly absurd level (all the ones used on the West, including the one that got suspended everywhere due to unexpected risks.)

Overall, if we had the same pandemic again, the public would be none the wise on how to protect themselves, or what expect from it. No information reaches the people, ever.

That's completely made-up! It's possible someone had a bad date with a PE executive; it's possible they are susceptible to sunstroke, spent too much time outside on a summer day, were a little woozy, and approved something that they otherwise wouldn't. Maybe they were going after PE for something else, but that fell through and they limited it to vet clinics. We can go on forever! Or maybe, they discovered a violation by the PE-owned clinics and did their job by acting on it.
It's very hard to create a force that will incapacitate someone without a substantial risk of killing them.

Sufficient blunt force to some area to stun someone will kill them if it hits elsewhere.

Tolerances for electricity are different between people (Tasers do kill people).

Mace and pepperballs don't fully incapacitate someone.

Lightning guns (or really any directed energy weapon) have problems with exponential decay.

Tranquilizer guns might work, although I don't know how wide the dosing range is.

It's a hard problem. People still die from anesthesia, which is basically trying to keep someone incapacitated in a very controlled setting.
I made a file of 9s and it took about a second. I made a video: https://moderncsv.com/videos-temp/load-image9.mp4

You have to change the setting in the Settings file (Edit Settings command) under the "User Value" column. Changing it under the "Default Value" column is a common mistake that's really my fault, so I intend to rectify it soon.

If it still doesn't perform like that for you, let me know.
