> It’s a very real thing which happened in an attempt to benefit Elon

I’m sorry but fuck off with this nonsense.

Your argument starts from the oil-shill root that lithium is somehow rare or expensive. Lithium is cheap and abundant, we don’t need to conquer foreign countries for it. A Tesla with 400mi has like 6kg of lithium in it.

I’m really quite sick of these pseudo-intellectual arguments on this website.
Many different ways to go about it. I preferred the short-form, almost structured tweeting to myself (how do I feel and what's happening) that I built in an app called iFeelio[0] (now defunct).

However, some prefer longform, written or typed, different apps and such.

What I found helped me was trying to focus more on how I was feeling and less on what was happening, as I think it's easy for me to rationalize and become more and more distant from how I'm feeling. Darn, now I want to revamp the app.

If there isn't anything generally available that doesn't have telemetry, then productivity software w/o telemetry isn't a solved task. If you accept LibreOffice and the like, then it's a solved task but you'll still need someone to manage it, hence job creation.
This begs a probative question: what good is the monkey if nobody knows you have it?
I tried to remember some counterexamples etc.

When I think of a deliberately subterranean sanctuary, I imagine Christian catacomb churches, something selected out of necessity and later revered for the legend of the struggle. Anchorites would often live underground in cells. Egyptian tombs were places of a intense, one-time devotion for upper-level hierarchs, I should think? Then sealed-off.

Many Japanese temples are built on mountaintops, and major mountain rages around the world are usually host to monasteries as quiet places of contemplation. Oftentimes a temple not built in a high place is in some other manner auspicious. In East Asia, "Ley Lines" play an important role in where to place a temple. Very small Zoroastrian fire temples were usually placed as community hubs - they look just a little taller than surrounding buildings in some photos but I'm less certain height was such a concern? I remember seeing a documentary where a very revered fire that has been burning for hundreds or thousands of years if not, (perhaps only apocryphally), for as long as Zorastrianism has existed is in something of a pit carved into the side of a cliff.

I'm going to aim as far back as we've got records, to Gobekli Tepe and give an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Göbekli Tepe is located in the Taş Tepeler ('Stone Hills'), in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains.[24] It overlooks the Harran plain and the headwaters of the Balikh River, a tributary of the Euphrates.[24] The site is a tell (artificial mound) situated on a flat limestone plateau.[25] In the north, the plateau is connected to the neighbouring mountains by a narrow promontory. In all other directions, the ridge descends steeply into slopes and steep cliffs." Caveat: This was thousands of years ago so the geology could have been somewhat different. But it was probably a high place albeit not the very highest. A local raised formation.

The conclusion I feel comfortable making is, a great deal of factors go into deciding where to place a religious sanctuary. Where we put the temple, how big we build it, what we put in it is all about the meaning to us (so long as we're not driven underground, or far-afield by persecutors). But I'll unfold my "evolutionary religious studies" lawnchair/armchair to say it seems to me like surviving systems converge on the importance of height, and I think that's because what height tends to means to us (strength for a difficult climb, solitude for contemplation, vision of our surroundings, visibility from afar) are very worthy ideals that help us survive as societies and individudals. But also worth considering is; control of high places correlates to control of a large enough territory to agriculturally support heavier development up there. The dominant worldview model can eventually gain access to high places and when it does, it has the capacity to build its temples/monastic communities there.
It turns out that Snoop Dogg himself is not easily fungible.
Folks still need to get re-elected, even if it's heavily favoring lobbyists. That is still SOMETHING, rather than a company creating something out of thin air. In this the OP is correct. It's not a lie, and your vote counts.

For what it's worth, it's not so much lobbyists as the ability to generate dollars period (many lobbyists aren't actually very good at this), and there's still power there in numbers as seen in recent elections so don't sell yourself short if you have a compelling case to make. Just sayin'! :)
After having seeing GC after GC fail to live up to expectations... I'm still voting for Rust. So much more control over wether you even want to allocate or not. I know where you are coming from but, I see it differently I guess.
I do the opposite. Across C, Python and Go, I was prepared and had a good understanding of the languages and stdlibs before joining through reading books and working through the exercises.

It worked very well for me, on joining my knowledge of the languages and their stdlibs was respectable, and I could hit the ground running and get patches accepted easily. I could also in each languages case fix weirdness they had in their code because their own knowledge had gaps. That impressed people and made a pretty good first impression.

It's probably not universally true, but in my observation learning on the job much more commonly ends up resulting in sizable gaps in language knowledge.

If you've got a role working in $LANG, I don't see how upskilling in $LANG before you join is a trap. It's commonly knowledge with lasting value that offers returns across jobs.

I've never worked with C++, I hear hints that it's too big to actually learn and instead one must learn a subset. Maybe that's true, and the article more applies there.
I'm actually just about to get rid of Google Analytics on DocSpring.com. I set up a self-hosted instance of Plausible Analytics on Render.com yesterday. I really like it so far. I set it up on a custom subdomain so it's not blocked by any ad blockers, so it's really nice to see analytics data that's almost 100% accurate (unless visitors disable JavaScript.) Especially since DocSpring is a developer tool, so most visitors are using an ad blocker extension. Also it doesn't use any cookies, so I don't need to show a cookie banner. It really feels like a breath of fresh air.
"Secure by default" by the standards of circa 1970

No mandatory access control, in the year 2022. Unimaginable. Only a fool would bet his business on this mess, and only a thief would take his money.
There is also a systematic way to do emotional journal entries, from the cognitive-behavioral approach to clinical psychology (however this is more structured, versus freely writing thoughts down).

The technique is write down a specific upsetting events, describe the emotions you feel in response with percentages, point out any distortions in thinking (especially unhealthy thoughts) that may be exacerbating your mood, writing a healthier reframe, and writing your mood in percentages either. A simplified eversion would be to write down a specific upsetting event, identify any negative framing of the situation with writing, and reframing it in a healthier way (skipping the percentages).

The source material is in a PDF (low image quality): https://thrive.kaiserpermanente.org/care-near-you/northern-c... and a cleaner table for the approach can be found in this PDF as well: http://content.randomhouse.com/assets/9780767923897/pdfs/Dai...
Microsoft historically funded OpenBSD because they drew on OpenBSD source for their UNIX userland in products like MS SFU. They were all too happy to fund the development of /bin/sh and /bin/ls.

They absolutely do not have any interest in any "security" matters in OpenBSD -- Microsoft Windows and Microsoft .NET are decades ahead of OpenBSD in terms of security.
> The kernel doesn't need all those new bells and whistles that Rust wants to offer

That's a bewildering statement considering that one of the bells and whistles that Rust offers is memory safety.
I have seen pretty wild conspiracy theories on consortiumnews.com/thelastamericanvagabond.com/globalresearch.ca/informationclearinghouse.info, so personally I'm not sure you selected good sources to boost.

UPD globalresearch.ca was even included in "Pillars of Russia's Disinformation and Propaganda Ecosystem" report:

Same, I agree with many of the thoughts there. When you get a moment, would you mind writing a guide on how to deploy it to Render.com? It sounds like the Heroku of 2022.
I don't worry about it and just use a straight-up HTTP GET. That works a surprising number of times. If I was trying harder I would use Puppeteer or similar and try to grab a full height screenshot. Most of the time I'm just clicking the URL to get back to the page.
What this article says is not generally true: get a job at a decent company and they’ll want you to use their language elegantly and sophisticatedly. (My experience is with US tech companies).
Yeah, I have some old books from my dad that taught people how to be ready for a stress interview. Often it's something like having your seat in a place where light shines in your eyes, loud background noises, or a panel of interviewers staring at you.

It's probably more suited for say, sales job, but doesn't represent engineering well. Unless it does, which you probably want to get out of there as fast as possible.
It's a nice fantasy, but it's simply not the case in my experience. The details are deferred because you want to be able to adapt some things faster than you can change a law and you want it done with a comment period by subject matter experts, rather than by legislators.

In general, however, those agencies are slow moving (requires comment period, must decide given bounds, funding limited, etc) and pretty narrowly handcuffed / acting within the statute. Recently even those narrow powers have been rejected by the courts (see admin law judges, CFPB single director, etc).
Valuetainment did a good break down of why Netflix are losing money so quickly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOyQzab4_Pw
Netflix needs to nail development of their own tv shows but unfortunately very large quantity of their releases contain such a bad storytelling that it is almost unwatchable.

Is it really that hard for a billion dollar company to find good storytellers and content producers?
I would rather prefer the compiler to tell me: "Hey, this stack-allocated variable is escaping the function's scope, I can't do that! Allocate it somewhere outside the stack."

Maybe the compiler could offer me a simple way to fix the declaration somehow. But being explicit and transparent here feels important to me; if I wanted to second-guess the compiler and meditate over disassembly, I could pick C++.
This all is so deep, and I'm so sorry I cannot contribute to the questions you've got, but I feel like never coming back on account of "I know fuck all about this". Is this what people call 'Imposter syndrome'?

Do you think it was a warning, in the same way as 1984? Perhaps if it came from the EFF, FSF, or similar groups I would think of it as such, but given who the WEF represents, I highly doubt that. It is as much a thought experiment as it is an invitation to advance the state of "Everything as a Service" rent-seeking among those in power. Their vision of utopia is our dystopia.
Such as? Not trying to be pedantic, just looking for a more specific example. Are you talking about political appointees or public servants? If so, where? What agencies?
First picture in the article show a scene from Brisbane, where I live. And there are a lot of these suburbs. Brisbane is built on a flood-plain.

But the house prices in the low-lying suburbs that were hit hardest are still very strong. And my home insurance has gone up by 30%.
Think tanks are not the government. They are private institutions.

Typically when one uses the term "deep state" you mean someone working in the government that has their own agenda and/or are acting on a specific conspiracy / cabal agenda counter to the direction of, say, the administration providing the guidance and direction. This is why the person asked about employees vs. lobbyists.
I don't understand the point of saying this in this context. La Nina/El Nino is not one of the oscillations that didn't hold up to scrutiny. It's real and definitely exists.

Yes, you couldn’t do exactly that in Rust, and that’s a good thing. It was a bad design decision.

In Rust, the closest thing would probably be a shared Rc member for the registry and a non-owning indexing scheme (either weak references or something symbolic). But I’ve never actually seen a Rust codebase that needed to apply the registry pattern; it’s usually the wrong abstraction, like I said.

Edit: And no, replicating this pattern in Rust would not have produced the same failure. The failure mode in C++ resulted in exploitable memory corruption.

Yes, the Italian law that prohibits sending data abroad applies to Google Italia, but Google USA is submitted to the USA law, that says that the USA government can request any data from Google Italia and they are required to get it.

So the existence of Google USA makes Google Italia operation illegal.
> there should be a slider on the pricing page

Oh, I see. I actually did drag that slider a bit to the right the first time I accessed the page, but not far enough to go to the next plan, so I didn’t understand the purpose of the slider. If you get similar reactions to mine, or if your access data reveals that many human visitors to the page do not touch the slider, you might want to rethink your interface. Boxes displaying all of the plans side-by-side (vertically on mobile) would have been fine for me.

Thanks for your responses to my other questions. I wish you the best of success.

Really starting to feel dangerous to live anywhere in the US southwest. Lake Meade approaching deadpool and massive wildfire nearing my house this summer. Plus the government is led by people who refer to much of the southwest as “fly over country” doesn’t help.

To question the premise of the quote as well, an approach that I've found to be helpful to address procrastination/negative moods is to start with action if I can, rather than trying to motivate myself or change my thoughts.

Psychiatrist David Burns summarized this [1]: "Most procrastinators think that motivation comes first, followed by productive action, but this is an illusion, because you’ll probably NEVER feel motivated to do some awful task you’ve been putting off. If you’re waiting for motivation, you’ll be waiting forever! [...] highly productive people know that ACTION comes first, followed by motivation. In other words, you have to get started on some task before you’ll feel motivated."

A more liberal and charitable interpretation of the quote could be to classify starting with action as a way to correct the mind, though I figured it could be helpful to provide a less thoughts-centred approach to living a better life.

Yes, that was exactly what I meant. Intellectual property is not property, and is therefore not private property.
> Seeing how the West is mostly providing monetary aid and surveillance in Ukraine and not direct military support we could possibly see the same in Russia.

Indeed, I'm sure Western support would be forthcoming if a movement gained traction — but the effective surveillance state and history of severe suppression make that exceedingly unlikely. The risk is enormous and the likelihood of success tiny.
It’s been intense here (SE Australia). It’s just been raining for weeks now without stopping. I think we’ve had 2 sunny days in the last 4 weeks? Crops are dying, lettuce costs $10 each (if you can find them), internet keeps dropping out cos of shittily buried lines, drains overflow and flood the streets constantly, and the kids are going up the walls.

I know it’s normal for lots of areas of the world (and I’ve lived in those places) but we’re generally not equipped for it here.
That's obvious, as most walls in US are just drywall. You can kick your way into a house without touching any doors or breaking any glass. Houses in the
US aren't made to prevent break ins.

If you want to prevent a break in, first construct a fence around your house. Then add steel window protection. Only then you should worry about deadbolts.
OK, clearly there are a lot of generalisations in the article - you may or may not recognizes the academic or industry positions in the article, so clearly ymmv.

Perhaps a better simplification is - Life is a Game, Learn the Rules. And in that context recognise that the game you are playing just changed, and there are new riles, and new ways of scoring, so pay attention and learn quickly.

This is true got any job change, but is especially true for the academic/industry switch (in either direction). There are also likely to be a bunch of "local rules" (some unwritten) to figure out.

What works the least is bringing rules from the old game and trying to convince the new team to play by the old rules. That path never ends well.

Yes, I think most people should ask more questions (regardless of industry or academia), yes I think academics get paid up front (grants) regardless of outcomes - industry gets paid by results (revenue) and thats a different set of goal posts.

You might come out of, or go into, an academic, or industry position, with supportive, or abusive colleagues, with or without lots of office politics, with or without smarter, or less-smart peers, who may or may not care.

Oh, and there will be a new set of jargon :)
Netflix is a cautionary tale of Wall Street growth-at-all-costs mixed with Silicon Valley hyperoptimization. Their tendency to cancel popular shows because they become more expensive to produce doesn't bode well for their value proposition.

Compared to the other streaming services, Netflix will get dropped long before even Apple TV+ in my household. Adding ad-supported tiers is fine, they just better never add ads to the current paid tiers. Furthermore, cracking down on password sharing is reason enough to cancel - it shouldn't matter what I do with my account as long as I'm paying. They already limit the simultaneous streams and that seems fair. They shouldn't be wasting time and effort figuring out if logins are coming from different households.
Yeah. Most html checkboxes can be triggered by clicking their label. But people don’t know this, so they only target the box.
>Is it really that hard for a billion dollar company to find good storytellers and content producers?

Yes. Ask pretty much any studio ever. The promise that data would be this magic ingredient for quality content [that connects with audiences] ended up being pretty much BS. The percentage of content I genuinely want to spend my time with across all services is very low.
The parent comment linked to "personal vs private property" on the page. The section specifically cites "socialist, Marxist, and most anarchist philosophies".

Don't want to contradict your point, just a FWIW ...

Yesterday I saw a TV ad for Meta suggesting that with VR you will be able to stand in a small conversational circle with Socrates.

Yea, it will be educational.

But skepticism aside, with a personal instance of AI some benefits could be significant. Just having a personal AI critic to read your writing and give feedback could be a huge benefit -- or if not your writing, your thought process.

Queue the spying on you part.
I agree with you. It's the same with Category Theory. I have yet to see any practical usage of Category Theory in programming that was better than using basic algebraic reasoning and (simple) type theory.

This doesn't resonate with my experience at all. It probably depends a lot on which languages were talking about, but the languages I've spent the most time with have pretty consistent best-practices across the industry (there may be a handful of different philosophies, but they're usually not hyper-specific to one company). I think the author is over-generalizing their experience
