Exactly that, thank you!

Correctly, as I remembered, he was one of the voices that gave interviews to spread the "creed" in the past weeks - I recognized the name. And he stated in the interviews: "We will get hurt immensely, but we will reach the goal" - this shall be an intellectual warning to the adopters of naïve rational-agentism ("homo oeconomicus would never").

I see that I remembered the wrong faculty: he worked at the Department of Sociology (I probably confused the book name with the department). And I see that the use as textbook has been sparse - adopted and celebrated here and there.

I must recommend that readers go through that list: it is "quite strong". The presence of the UK in the list as an entity that should be separated from Europe is what woke up some commentators after Brexit, with the question "Could they have helped it - surely they expressed they wanted it".

Reported words of that author, that may give a sketchy profile:

> I think that Internet as such, as a phenomenon is worth prohibiting because it gives nobody anything good

> If we want to liberate ourselves from the West, it is needed to liberate ourselves from textbooks on physics and chemistry

...And those lines should again be flashing hints to those who like to consider the players at the chessboard agents following a common rational framework.
Basically the same criteria United has compared to the others countries:

- a large assets backing the money ( the us economy)
-A large debt market that can be traded easily ( t-bills )
-A safe economic environment
-A protection system for any foreign investors.

No country expect the us offers those conditions.
Europe debt is too fragmented, China controls his currency, and Japan is not big enough.

Russia made the move because the rouble was back by their natural resources.

In India case, I m very surprised by this move and some technicals requirements would be needed.

The android Element client has been sluggish too, but I believe most of the lagginess comes from the matrix.org instance. Matrix supporters seem to brush this off as "oh well, that's just the matrix.org server that's laggy, it's not a problem intrinsic to the protocol." It's the most important server that's borderline unusable!

Many criticize the state and local officials who profited (or generated tax revenue) from exploiting those in the medallion system. My understanding is we are seeing a reformed taxi system on the other side of a truly horrible bottom, especially for those who bought the grossly inflated medallions. That the taxi system is/was exploitative and that ride share is/was exploitative are not exclusive though.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness and introspection in your question.

I have found that different types of activities bring me joy/energy/fulfillment, and others do not. Identifying which activities do this for me took a few years of thought, coupled with asking people who know me well about what they observe. I realized about 10 years ago that I'm most fulfilled when I'm teaching - literally leading a formal learning session with students. I find opportunities to do some of this in my work (I'm a co-founder with tons of autonomy in my role), but ultimately I've decided that my job is the means to open up more doors to teach. I'm getting an MBA to open the door to be an adjunct professor in business.

I share this because once you know what activities bring you joy/energy/fulfillment, you can rearrange your life to maximize how much time you spend doing those things.
You replied question 2 with question 1: we don't self host email, -because- of deliverability issues.
This is just tradition, personally I don't believe Russian writers of 18/19 centuries were better or worse than their counterparts living in Eastern Europe, for example. It is indisputable Russia produced some great writers and poets, such as Anna Akhmatova (but especially for poetry 70% is lost in translation). The reason that Tolstoi and Dostoyevski got famous is largely geopolitical; what we are doing now is just a part of tradition. I remember I relatively enjoyed reading Crime and Punishment, but when I started to read Brothers Karamazov, I started to have a feeling there are so many better ways to spend my life than reading these two bricks and this feeling only increased with time. YMMV.
TLDR; This is showing that a regular probabilistic computer can't do certain cryptographic problems faster than a quantum computer ( BPP < BQP).

Others have commented here that this is due to the fact that Quantum computers must be fully reversible operations which is in correct.
Yeah, it removed the linear time constraints but it's just a TV.
> I dream about doing my own thing or retiring early to do other projects.

Do you already do your "own thing" now after work and on weekends? If not, then it probably is a case of thinking the grass is greener.

Speaking only for myself, I would come home from work and pursue my passions everyday, night, and weekend until exhaustion. I quit my job two years ago to pursue my passions full time and - although I'm not making money yet - I am consistently happy and fulfilled with my work.
Yeah, I think that the 8-bit computers were the last ones that a single person could understand completely at every level. I can just about decipher modern assembly language to be able to compare outputs of godbolt when considering whether an optimization does what I think it does, but beyond that, I’ve not actually written any assembly code for over 30 years (the last I did was 370 Assembler on an IBM minicomputer).

I remember reading computer magazines back in the 80s where they were discussing approaches to getting upper and lower case on the Apple ][. I had made the mistake of using the ctrl key which meant that return and backspace no longer worked and an article suggested using esc instead. The shift to the paddle button option wasn’t an option for me since I never owned my own computer and relied on being able to stay after school to use the school's computers to learn with.
This reminded me of an undergraduate Physics professor who made us estimate the fraction of molecules in one breath that had been exhaled by Jesus. Fun times.
It's funny how you asked a question for people to share their personal stories of how they may have overcame the feelings of "never enough" that you have, but most people are just giving advice. As if they really know the person they're giving advice to.

IMO the insight, self-awareness, or revelation you may be seeking would most likely come from a conversation where you have space to think, reflect, be asked a lot of "Why" questions, and so on.
I'm pretty sure it was in January 2000. A few days before the 20th. Because the 20th was my grandfathers birthday and I visited him that day, but bought a Wallstreet Journal (Or Financial Times International Edition) with the headline that the euro plunged below parity for the first time at an airport either in Orlando or at the layover in Washington.

I may still have this issue in my memorandum box. But no, I won't go looking for it. ;)
Take up a new medium for expression (e.g. drawing, painting, music, etc.). Don't just learn the ropes and play others' works, either. Try to put yourself and your thoughts, ideas, feelings, into the medium.
And? JK makes statements that are supportive of trans people in her view, but that they are also different than women. It's her right.

The issue is she's being bullied and lambasted for not having the 'correct view' in the eyes of the social justice mob.

This ultimately rolls up to economics and producers get afraid.

Every work related to her new gets a bitchy frothy scathing indictment in 'The Daily Beast' and other rags because irrespective of the quality of the content, they 'hate' the author for her ideological positions, and so, they make a fuss.

She's rich and certainly her books are still popular, so she has some degree of defence, but the outrage against her is populist fascism.

'Social Justice Mobs' - particularly among the young (I'm making my assumptions from Reddit readership) are a problem. The kids are self righteous fascist.

This is an entirely separate problem from 'right wing mobs' trying to overthrow election results, denying that such a thing as 'trans' exists etc.. The means of expression of power are quite different.
I mean you can just ban all UK IPs and be done with it.

You’re right. Europe sold out a chunk of its high profile technology industry and never bothered to invest afterwards. Philips was the worst. They bought up every single electronic component supplier then sold it all to China. And let’s not look at the whole Nokia and Microsoft shit show.

The electronic design industry shrank so quickly that it actually pushed people out into other sectors.

We’re just pouring fuel on the race to the bottom. Lots of old men got to die rich.

You aren't required to pay for basic supplies, prison commissaries periodically give out hardship packages which include things like sample packages of soap and toothpaste, since withholding basic hygiene products is cruel and unusual punishment.

Garnishing prison wages is fucking brutal and stupid though. Prison laborers typically make less than a quarter per hour, so that isn't going to do shit in terms of repaying any debts, it's just a spite play to make someone's life miserable.

Honestly, if I was Ross I'd refuse to leave my cell and act insane till I got placed in solitary. In most prisons you can still have books in solitary, you just lose out on yard and TV access, which is still a great trade if you're getting regularly beaten and hate raped.
By being lucky enough to have savings, and having a room at my parents' house that doesn't require any rent payments. Without those, it definitely wouldn't have been possible.

Recently I've also received some grants, namely the Pro Helvetia interactive media grant, and the Poland Digital Dragons Accelerator. Both of those only offset a part of the money I had already personally invested though, and the Kickstarter barely makes a dent in anything.

Selling games is such a gamble, too. If the stats are to be believed, only about 15% of games on Steam recoup their investment, let alone making profit. For the next project's funding, I'm going to try and look at some other source like Patreon, to at least offset my own measly costs so I can spend longer in pre-production.

Making games is just really expensive, and any funding source is heavily fought over, or comes with huge caveats attached. I don't think I have this figured out yet either, so all I can say is best of luck!
This is possibly true.

I'm in my 50's now, and when I was in my 40's, my life-situation allowed me to pursue a lot more outside interests and hobbies. I had a lot of different outside activities, and would go out after work 4 nights a week with something different.

A mass-layoff 5 years ago changed my circumstances in a lot of ways. I have another job - one that I love probably much more. But I relocated, and where I live now just doesn't have many of the same opportunities to do all the different things I used to do. And it's causing a lot of feelings of emptiness and burnout.

Since I work remote, I'm planning on another relocation.
I think you should start an alternative.

It is easy to criticize, but it takes a toll to fix books in ebook processing.
I had to do some minor ePub work and I was like „WHAT, that’s the standard? This can’t be right“ but yeah the formats are trash and complicated.

Weak Euro == less of value being payed to Russia for gas?
I am a Patreon contributor to the project. I have to take issue with the 'development speed is very fast' -- there have been no new releases (unless I am mistaken - and this is what the built in app upgrade functionality tells me, I am 0.2.1) in a long time, > 8 months I think.

I also find the speech recognition especially poor for my RP English accent; Aegis says that his training has included UK English, but I suspect the training data has a strong US bias.

I am about to cancel my Patreon support given the lack of updates, communications, and the fact that Aegis' time is clearly spread thin, and afaik he has not taken on any additional staff despite it being on his agenda for a year or so.

I would love to be proven wrong, and discover that I have somehow fallen into a release blackhole. I fully accept that I may have stumbled in the whole talon website/patreon/discourse mire.
I too liked the movie Bicentennial Man with Robin Williams. It was a fair departure from the short story, but had a bit more heart and getup and go than Asimov ever could muster (bless his soul).
Totally agree with what you say OrangeMonkey however I think I understood GP's comment differently. I thought GP was saying once you stick to an IF schedule for 2 weeks (for example only eating 12pm to 8pm), after 2 weeks it becomes easy to only eat within those windows. I don't think they were suggesting prolonged fasting >24 hours.
Holy smokes I feel bad for you. What happened to your curiosity (wo)man? I really can't empathize at all with comparing a library with scrolling social media. That's apathy to the max.

Several of these are just updates of existing laptops to use newer generation of CPU, not "ground-breaking" at all.
That's incorrect its a proof of probabilistic computers are unable to be faster than quantum computers for certain cryptographic problems (BPP < BQP) and has nothing to do with reversibility. The reason quantum computers must be reversible is quantum systems must be reversible.
> Demonstrate understanding of client/customer/manager priorities, frustrations, and necessary tradeoffs: show compassion and supply suggestions for where scope can be narrowed if needed.

I think this is huge. I've found that if you ask if they need to cut things from the scope to hit a deadline, and tell them you'll work with them to get a scope that is reasonable by the time they selected, it works wonders. Sometimes it turns out they really need a small thing to get their next project out, but they are asking for far too much.

I've felt this before. In fact, I end up in this position everytime I'm in a job where the company is larger than 200 folks, the goals are corporate, and there never seems to be an "end" to the work. I'd say it's easy to be disconnected from the impact you have on people when you're working a job.

One thing I found that really helped was working on my own projects. The level of satisfaction you feel after directly helping someone (or multiple folks) solve a problem that's been bothering them (either in business or personal) can't be replicated from any job.

Some people will say settle, or bring up hedonic treadmills or w/e but i would encourage you to start scratching that itch to do your own thing. Find folks who have a problem you think/know you can help them solve and then do it. Take the plunge and experience how it feels to help someone with something you built of your own effort and time.
I would check out Cal Newport's recent "Deep Life" philosophy / manifesto that he's been blogging & podcasting about.

- https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2020/04/20/cultivating-a-dee...

- https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2020/03/17/the-deep-life-som...

He talks about building a life of your own choosing around the things that matter in some key buckets:

- Craft: usually your day job
- Community: volunteering, religion, family, whatever it is for you
- Constitution: mental, physical health
- Contemplation: matters of the soul (reading philosophy, following a religion if that's relevant, reflecting, etc)

Also as many people have pointed out, the hedonic treadmill is real! There's nothing wrong with wanting to grow 1% in the core aspects of your life for the rest of your life. That seems like a life well lived to be honest!

But if you can wake up every day, look at your deep life playbook that you defined, internalize your own definitions of the 4 C's and then abide by those definitions ... then you can end each day knowing that you're living a "deep life" and hopefully gain some internal silence and gratitude!

Of course this is easier said than done :]

Being exposed every 4 months is not quite herd immunity. Herd immunity is essentially: because some 95% of people are immune to smallpox, if there is an outbreak, it will not find any new hosts and would die out. That is very different from "get a booster (or re-infected) every X months to keep immune levels high". In other words, the rapid decay of individual immunity causes for there to be a loss in herd immunity (or herd immunity never achieved at all due to decay in immunity).

From a contra-positive point of view, if there were herd immunity, then you would not be able to get re-infected every 4 months because there would be no carriers of the virus to infect you.

I think the bottom line is that 'herd immunity' is only a concept if immunity is durable and long lasting. Otherwise that herd immunity decays too quickly and you wind up in a cycle where everyone gets infected, the infection levels drops off, that immunity wears off, rinse-wash repeat.

Anecdotally, I was on a train recently and was talking to my neighbors where an elderly woman said casually that the 3rd time being infected she was in the hospital for only 7 days that time. The implication being that this part of the population could land in the hospital repeatedly every 4-6 months. I would wager that someone who is 65 to around 70 years old will survive covid related pneumonia only so many times before they don't. I think this speaks to how Covid is pretty vicious.

And all that is to say that 'natural' herd immunity is not our ticket out of this problem (just based on the math). There may be no good tickets out of this short of everyone vaccinating every 6 months and also reducing transmission rates (eg: early detection and quarantining/masking to avoid infecting others, and reducing your own risk of infection via distancing/masking).
As a non-economist, that's one of the basic things about trade that was surprisingly hard to wrap my head around. Your currency is high, that's good because you now have much greater buying power outside your country! Everyone else's stuff is cheap! Also, it's bad, because it means your stuff is more expensive, so nobody outside wants to buy it, so your exports decline.

Basically it's just: high currency is good if you're importing, bad if you're exporting.
i've done it three times for 2 weeks. potatoes only, that's it. it works very well in the short term. towards the end of the last 2 attempts I was able to fast for 2-3 days due to sheer boredom of the food. i'm a compulsive eater, and this was kind of eye opening.

that being said, this approach didn't work long term for me (hence multiple times doing it). I'd transition back to the way I was eating before and put the weight back on.

currently I'm working with a nutritionist and trying to eat towards specific macros, and counting everything in my fitness pal. the weight loss is more subtle (1-2 lbs per week tops), and I'm lifting weights which distorts the actual loss on the scale. not seeing the scale go down dramatically is hard, but eating the way I am now is totally sustainable and I've been doing it for almost 3 months now.
i am assuming this is going to be used to go back to india-iran trade that was last time decided to be on rupee basis as opposed to dollars in order to escape american sanctions? should be a good start.

iran can sell india oil for rupees, india buys the oil and sells stuff to iran for the same money, negating the need for US$ or euros out of either countries' foreign reserves.

I remember when I first saw the .za TLD, I thought that it was South Africans using cross-border connections to Zambia (my knowledge of African geography and ISO country codes being both limited) since this was the waning days of Apartheid and it seemed natural that other countries might not be willing to extend internet access to South Africa. I still think of that every time I see the .za TLD.
Here's some advice by Alan Watts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERbvKrH-GC4
Great advice. I've done ultra marathons, powerlifting and strongman (open division). Knowing I'll never be the best and there is an upper limit I've created my own goal Project 15-50. Complete the big three lifts (squat, bench and deadlift) for a total of 1500lbs and run a 50 miler within a week, a three year goal.

Though I do feel I need to see what my mind can accomplish. I'm a DS Manager (was an air traffic controller) but the role isn't technically difficult.
There are some problems in life that cannot be solved by begging for permission, but by going ahead and then asking for forgiveness.

There is no legal way that the taxi cartel could have ever been challenged without some company like Uber just ramming it through regardless of the technical legality of certain actions. Insofar as they didn't steal from customers, them taking down the taxi cartel is arguably a public service that should be forgiven and applauded.
I join, I am having exactly the same "problem".
