> While your brain is trying to figure out other thing, can it still execute steps (2) and (3)? Because (1) didn't stop

My brain can not store sence if the sence is exposed to me. If the sence is yet to be exposed this is GIGO.

I think visual cortex may remember visual information - pictures, funny fonts, position of some lines of text, maybe some specific words even if the book is foreign and not understandable. But I do not believe you can cut off all words out of book and read it in random order and receive understanding.

BUT from my experience of reading, there is one way of conscious reading without reading the page fully - when I am reading super quickly for finding "good" and "bad" words. In my scientific areas there is often enough to see or not to see some specific words and surnames to understand what approach is being describe and is it novel for me. So, I believe there is a JS programmer who can read a totally new 200-page book "JS for beginners" for less than 5h and understand it fully.
I worked at a smaller software consulting firm that had to lay off a bunch of people in 2020 (guess why). I was part of the first wave in Q1, a mere month after they promised that they wouldn't lay people off and would explore other options. I even got the same severance package as the Unity people, a month's pay and COBRA coverage, and "best wishes". I understand why they did it, financially speaking, but it still felt like a betrayal for a lot of reasons.

I still have a lot of contacts there and apparently the company culture fundamentally changed after the great 2020 layoffs and many of those contacts left by choice, saying they had no idea if they'd be next if it looked like "tough times ahead" again. Only one friend still works there as a senior dev and he's starting to feel like even his job is on the chopping block now because he has no trust in management anymore.

I mainly just find it sad because that company was a great place to work for the years I spent there, and I believed in their mission statement.
But that's my point... I went to a normal school. Even though it was religious, I wasn't exposed to any conservative ideas (religious != political conservatism). The school kinda went along with the general zeitgeist. Perhaps your experience is different. We did a cursory (and I mean extremely cursory) view of all world religions, as I think many schools may offer, but we never went in depth.

But again, religion is not conservatism, whether political or even social (Stoicism is a 'conservative' philosophy, despite not being religious and perhaps even anti-religious).

It wasn't until I was older that I began studying these topics in any great detail.

> Personally I can say that I've learned a much greater depth about religion and spirituality outside of formal religious contacts.

That's not really germaine. Did you learn it in a public school? Because if not, I think my point stands.
The socialization of modern schooling is terrible and artificial. Children are age segregated and managed by a handful of adults. Which means they learn mainly from each other, instead of from older kids and adults. It’s the factory farm equivalent of raising children.

Homeschooled kids, of course, can learn social skills because they exist in societies and communities. Our neighbor’s kids are homeschooled. They’re over at our house right now. They play with the neighborhood kids, go to church, and engage in other social activities in mixed-age groups of kids.
Yeah, he brought up religion for no particular reason. To be clear, when I say 'traditional' ideas, I mean those ideas that have captured the secular zeitgeist of generations before us. For example, the idea that the family is the foundational element of society today has religious connotations, but only because it is carried over from Roman times. The Romans achieved this conclusion through secular means. It's now associated with religion because the Catholic church basically is the current implementation of the late Roman empire's value system.
No. Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria.

What makes you think that any other carmaker would have behaved differently?
I have a ‘15 F30 and a ‘22 G80. Nothing is better on the F30 and often touchscreen is really convenient compared to the puck. I will add that BMW iDrive feels massively more polished than the MMI in my recent model Audi, which also randomly needs soft/hard resets.

But it pays the insurance company to make sure you die early. :(

Also lots of hardware in industrial applications. Though fundamentally you can consider that everything is in indirectly service of cat videos. Even a jet turbine blade casting machine is going to be used to get someone home faster to load up the cats.
Yes. Choosing an async framework over Flask when you don't need it is a huge mistake.
And shooting someone who is trying to kill you or your family is an exercise in individual sovereignty.

The point is self defense in the face of people who would dominate you, tell you to do things you don't want to do or know are not morally right.
Yes, the topic is lamentably flame-prone. I've been trying to persuade some of the key commenters not to handle it that way.

Canned lentils are already cooked. You just need to warm them up.
I have a video player designed for esports coaches to do gameplay reviews of matches that their team has played. It has the unique feature that you can synchronise multiple viewpoints from a match together. It's free and open source.

https://github.com/Rodeoclash/vodon-pro

I've built it using Electron as an MVP but I'd like to rebuild the most successful features into a native app using gstreamer as a V2 version at some point.

I'm looking for help with reaching more esports teams that might be interested in using it, graphic design feedback (I've done it myself :/ ) and someone who has knowledge building native apps that I could bounce ideas off.
they have committed to being audited by a Top 12 accounting firm, which is laughable

I was once certain that Lance Armstrong was the best cyclist in the world. Now I'm a bit more skeptical when I see such claims
People claim its an easy pivot all the time but these sorts of industries just do not seem to overlap, and these companies today seem to have zero interest making a go at this sector. There is no tesla articulated bus or a ford articulated bus. Maybe driverless busses will happen, but will it be waymo or anyone available on the market today? I doubt it. I would think it would be whoever makes an articulated bus today licensing that tech from whoever based on the fact that no one in the car market cares to bother with the articulated bus market today.
If you get a text (not What's App) reply with "Do you know what happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989? Ask Winnie The Pooh, A Free Tibet or Uyghurs". That'll trigger a few Chinese monitors, or at least scare the scammers into thinking so.
That's wild. That seems like something someone should go to jail for ignoring everything else. At a glance that wouldn't be my interpretation of the statement on their site.
5Ghz apiece from each eyeball and i've got a nicely nanowave-warmed septum, thanks.
Nope, I get your meaning and it wasn't mine.

I see economic processes like physical ones. Water flows downhill, never up. Sure, there are huge spectacular waterfalls like your most hated billionaire. But that's essentially still the same downhill flow process as a meandering wide river.

We can discuss the best route from top to bottom. Fine. Perhaps I too would prefer to avoid such precipitous drops. But the issue here is that we have the need for uphill flow.
There's a myth that Voyager is FDIC insured. It's pure marketing.

Voyager has an omnibus account with the Metropolitan Commercial Bank where Voyager's customers deposit their money. Voyager acts as the money manager of the omnibus account and has absolute control over the money.

Metropolitan is a member of FDIC and is FDIC insured. In the case of the Metropolitan bank failing, the FDIC insurance kicks in to cover any loss of the omnibus account upto 250K. However, Voyager is NOT a member of FDIC and is not FDIC insured. In the case of Voyager failing, the money is gone. FDIC won't be involved as Metropolitan is still fine.

Voyager customers hoping FDIC coming in to cover their loss are going to have a rude awakening.

Edit: A simple analogy is that your parents and you open a shared account with a bank. Your parents lose all the money from the account. FDIC is not going to cover any of the loss since the bank is fine.

Oh, that's a good point. I guess the most boring bank possible would probably be something like Chase.

That being said, it looks like we average around 4 regional bank failures a year in the US. There are a little under 5000 banks in the US, almost all of which are regional, so that leaves a 0.08% chance that any particular one of them will fail (all things being equal, which they probably aren't).
People that can write proofs in Coq and Isabelle might prefer that over the TLC approach of exhaustively checking all the possible states allowed by a TLA+ spec. But writing proofs in Coq/Isabelle/Lean/HOL is a more sophisticated skill and requires even more training on the multiple theories available in these provers. The brute force approach of TLA+/TLC is more dependable as part of an engineering process. Some specs can be really hard to prove, but easy to exhaustively check.
>But that's not at all what happened in the thread we're replying to..

Don't think you have the information to say that.

OP didn't say what happened. I don't think we can say anything in particular is exactly what did happen without more information. Unless you don't consider the US a place with "a stable financial system and/or government" -- which may be accurate -- then this very well could have taken place in the US. I'm not sure you can infer where this took place.
They were not trying to steal your number. They were using your number to back a new google voice account, so that they could get another free number from google. It’s a common scam, used on facebook marketplace sellers as well, and actually works best if the victim has never used google voice before.
I guess I don't understand what you mean when you say "tontines have no liabilities." Mechanically, the way that a tontine works (or at least the way that they worked historically) is that I give you a fixed amount of money today, and in exchange you promise me a series of payments that are contingent on my life and the lives of the others in the risk pool. That promised series of payments is a liability, as a matter of accounting but also for all other practical purposes. Maybe you have a different structure in mind, but I don't see a way to operate a tontine-like product without a balance sheet.
The original comment was from me. Measures include warnings and advertisements. They also include offering low dosage alternatives
Insurers are incentivized to pay higher prices for claims. The Affordable Care Act enforced that insurance companies must have at least an 80% "medical loss ratio." Meaning that insurance companies must make at least 80% of their total spend on actually paying out medical claims. This law was put into place because insurance companies would spend huge amounts of money on advertising and giving execs bonuses, all paid for by patient premiums. Some only paid out 50% of their spend on medical claims.

The Affordable Care Act introduced the newer perverse incentive of insurance companies tolerating higher prices. Because if you can only pay your execs bonuses based on 20% of your total spend, insurance companies can pay execs more if the underlying claims they're paying cost more. 20% of a $1,000 MRI isn't as juicy to your C levels as 20% of a $10,000 MRI.

All insurance companies, all of them are corrupt. The whole system needs to be burnt down. PPOs are the worst, I wish HMOs were the norm, but that won't fix everything.

“Right now, 10x differences in prices paid for the same healthcare service from the same doctor between insurance plans is not uncommon.”

Makes me wonder how things got to this point. How can a business perform any planning if they sell their services with such big differences between prices charged to customers?
Definitely, but the context was about people who can't walk or bike presumably because issues with mobility. Getting in shape is important but if you can't move at all because of other health reasons, asking someone with terrible knees and no endurance to bike everywhere is not going to be realistic. They practically need paratransit.
Yes, that is what I meant

This is cool! I've had this idea knocking around in the back of my head similar to this about an MMO like game where users could write WASM code and "imbue" items in the game with it. Sort of allowing them to create interesting game logic to build stories and things in it.

The failure of IndyMac is the poster-child of the modern era - losses on uninsured deposits were certainly into the multiple hundreds of millions; it's really that case which prompted the increase of the FDIC insurance limit.
of course not, but the point was about end users

Justices can be impeached. The court could be packed.

Ultimately even the Supreme Court can be corrected by Congress. But when power is consolidated in both Congress and the Supreme Court, that fix no longer exists in any practical way.

The core problem, as with any problem of rule by a minority or individual, are weaknesses in a system that allow power to be consolidated at the top.

The US system has neither legal nor practical/cultural limits on party control. Temporary one-party rule (limited only by the courts) is often achieved by parties controlling both the Presidency and Congress.

Add courts opportunistically designed to reinforce that one party rule, and temporary control can be carefully orchestrated in the direction of long term one party rule.

--

If the Constitution dictated party seat limits (to 25% of Congress, for example), then cross-partisanship cooperation, instead of all-or-nothing competition, would become a virtual necessity. Multiple parties would be required to achieve anything, or block anything.

And multiple parties have much less incentive, and more to fear, from allowing subversion of electoral systems.

The wonders of decentralized power.

--

Unfortunately, peaceful decentralization of an already highly centralized system, is an extremely difficult problem. Party limits are unlikely to be adopted by either party. Even a seemingly losing party will have difficulty attempting to promote such a thing. (And violent reformations, in addition to mass casualties of the innocent, rarely produce anything like the intended results.)

The US has entered a new era of its political history.
The damage is actually comparable or lower than normal usage, since they run at a constant temp which is less stressful and tend to be undervolted to get a better hashrate/dollar so the lines shouldn't be eroded much. At least according to that one LinusTechTips test.
Yes, that is exactly my problem. I enjoy the smoking process.
I think the npm ecosystem has massive systemic flaws, but comparing an entire ecosystem to one package is unfair. If express was shipped with malware, maybe that would be more comparable.
its not about whether its a problem in real life, its about whether the end user might be forced to use a product, which IS a thing, that that is the ONLY point I made
We justify our actions based on what we've seen others do, not what we believe they would do. That's at least why I wouldn't buy a Nissan, but I'll still buy a different car brand. Until/if that car brand does something equally stupid, then I'll stop buying their cars too.
I'm not convinced. I skimmed the article and the key piece of evidence seems to be a linked bloomberg chart that shows corporate profit margins spiking up recently. However, if you go to the source data[1] and zoom in, you see a different picture. Specifically, profit margins were increasing the most between Q2 2020 and Q2 2021, but have since stayed mostly flat. However, that's not in line with CPI[2], which only really took off in february 2021.

Where all of these fall over is data migration, which I wasn't surprised to see was missing from TFA. Having a runtime data model that "serializes itself" is lovely until you have to change the model of an existing dataset.

On the contrary, an equally important base principle of the modern democracies coming out of the Enlightenment is that the minority should be protected from the "tyranny of the majority"[1]. Don't get me wrong, it is easy to agree with you that the majority of the Chinese people might enjoy the strong-arm stability provided by their totalitarian government, but there is no way around the fact that minority opinions in China frequently get brutally stomped out, while minority opinions in (flawed) democracies like the US have many (imperfect) protections.

You don’t need to have the state pay. Make them charge the same price to all customers. Then you can have insurances compete. My body shop doesn’t charge one insurance $10/hr and another insurance $100/hr for the same work.
Thermal cameras does it all the time too. They have a shutter and calibrate each pixel when the camera gets warmer.
Amazing how this irritates many. We never had classes before 8.30 ( not US ) when I was a kid.
School starting at 7 would have caused an outrage.
Parents were generally starting work between 8-9 so dropping of the kid on the way to work makes sense.
At 7 most parents would have been an hour early for work which is not awesome for everyone.

How bizarre to read that an entire culture apparently has promoted extraordinary lazy kids for 5 or so decades, because their standard school starting time differs from the US one.

I suspect we could do decently by requiring insurance to purely reimburse the patient (possibly without the patient needing to pay first). If an insurer pays up to $1k for an MRI, and a hospital charges $15k but an outpatient imaging center charges $700, there will be a strong incentive for patients to stop using the hospital’s MRI.

Combining this with an auto-service requirement for a binding estimate before services are rendered would be amazing.

(Dealing with actual emergencies in this model may be hard.)
Your exact experience is similar to mine. I also worried that I broke my mind and would now suffer from psychosis. Turns out, I had just consumed incredibly potent weed, like you did.

Banks have never been that safe for large sums of money. Not only do banks occasionally get robbed, but also safe deposit boxes get accidentally cleaned, and creditors and the govt. can have your accounts levied.
