> The real money is basically in teaching the offspring of upper middle class people how to play an instrument.

Agreed, but even then it’s bordering on low income. I saw an article a while back that claimed some musicians were making big money giving lessons online, but I never followed up on it. Apparently the really good ones could reach a larger pool of more potential students and double or triple their income.
> Do people not have their phones on and connected to the internet 24/7 in case they receive a message?

A device able to receive a notification is not the same as listening on a socket 24/7. Push notifications on mobile go through the platform's push notification system lest they kill the device's battery. A push notification doesn't wake up a device and power up all the radios to stream masses of data.

Apps on mobile devices can be killed at any time, they're extremely unreliable as servers of content. Laptops are little better as servers of content.

I don't understand why you'd want social media content to only favor popular and recent content. Why would you want a built-in memory hole in the system?
I think you should start differentiating between opex and capex. and capital and recurring income.

This is how corporations reason.

Basically, opex is the money flowing out of your bank accout (sorry if that phrasing gives you anxiety) because of ongoing life. coffee, groceries, gas, you name it. anything mundane is going on that tab.

Anything you are investing in though, is Capex. you are buying a new car? capex. new watch? capex. new computer? capex.

clothes? if they are mundane and necessities - opex.

recurring income is your salary or whatever you can get by per month.

capital is your 27k in savings.

now, if a big company has 200bUSD in capital, and they get hit with the economic downturn, what do they do? layoffs. they do not mix capital (200b) with opex (salaries). it can and should never flow that way.

i know that infuriates some people "they got money! they should spend it!" nope, they shouldnt. thats why they got 200b, and those who complain, dont. if they do they wont have 200b for very long, not because salaries constitutes a lot of money per se, but because that behavior will translate in any and every new idea to spend money on.

basically, long story short, you only spend what you get each month. max. tops. you dont touch your capital. youre better off borrowing from friends than spending it on opex.

because spending accumulated funds is pointless, contrary to its purpose, and quite simply a waste.

once you do this, i believe after 2 or 3 months you will start to feel better.
The last few noncompetes I've been presented with have clauses saying that if any part of the noncompete is found to be illegal, the rest still stands. I wholeheartedly believe that if a noncompete contains elements that are illegal at the time of signing, the entire document should be void and the entity presenting it should owe damages.

I came of age in the late '90s. I don't think most people were offended by any of your list. A few churches would complain about gay people, but they were ridiculed for it.

It isn't, but it's something that we had seemed to be finally moving past. It's frustrating that only a few years after casting off the oppression of religious attitudes we now seem to be diving back into much the same thing.

There's many other ways to make an informed choice.

Books, develop a moral compass, talk with experts or even trusted friends, observe what is happening in your area and act in good faith to become involved.

IMO I'd trust the vote of someone who volunteers with the poor over someone who just watches $BIGNEWS each night

Making a good choice is more than having data, it's about having wisdom of what even matters in life and which data even matters for moving towards that good life. The news cannot tell you what is Good.
> I think you are misunderstanding where people come from with this: it's not the randomness; it's games where when you lose, you start over from the beginning - not the last save/checkpoint/whatever. What this indicates is that, in the broader gaming scene, this is the defining characteristic of Rogue(likes), not the permadeath.

Starting over when you die is exactly how games worked since the arcade days. It only becomes meaningful in a roguelike when coupled with randomness; otherwise you're just replaying the same game over and over again (which is like, exactly the reason Rogue and its likes exist - a different adventure every time).

> from the beginning - even if you are very slightly stronger the second [third, fourth, hundredth] time around.

If you're stronger than before then it isn't the beginning, is it? It's a continuation. It's a save file. Rogue deletes your save file when you die.

> In a democracy, citizens have a moral obligation to be informed enough to make a qualified decision at the ballot box.

Millions of people are ignoring that advice currently, and unlike action - say, giving to those in need or volunteering your help - a single vote doesn't spur any change; lost to the margins of error.

I personally think many people hide behind voting as their civic duty as a way to get out of action and helping those in need, especially those who are local.

Sure, voting is fine. I do it. It doesn't much matter given the city, county, and state I live in (Seattle, King County, Washington State) since you can guess how issues are quite easily litigated and voted upon, but I'll learn a little bit about the stuff on the ballot and cast my vote. I also don't really think it does much; I mostly do it to silence those who think not voting is some cardinal sin.

Helping those in your neighborhood with food security, transportation, or access to information/services makes an impact that day for that person. They don't much care who you voted for. Little Free Pantries and Little Free Libraries are a great way to get started with hyperlocal giving, if anyone is looking for a way to help locally and disconnect nationally/globally from events that you have vanishingly little (I'm being generous) control over.

Funny you say that because I had to point out to a new new neighbor last summer that he was driving on my property. My fence at that point was probably about 50' inside the actual property line (rural area), but he was used to living in the suburbs where everyone put their fence exactly on the property line, so he really had no idea. The issue was even more confused by the fact that there's a gap between our respective properties that's owned by the county.

People generally expect mature databases to have optimized any low-hanging fruit, and reordering different-alignment data to improve packing is trivial. There's also no reason to assume that the order of columns in a table definition has any relationship to the order of columns in a row in physical storage.

If markets by themselves can’t supply everyone with a place to live- something which every human needs- then perhaps we should try a different approach. There are plenty of ways to solve this problem.

I mean yes, I would not click on any article hosted on medium. And it is not just because of incessant login popup that many correctly noted. It is also because I feel if any individual / company can not host their articles and blogs on their own platform they are not worth reading. I dislike their reasoning on at least two counts:

1) It is too much work: In world of static site publishing and easy cloud hosting it is not too much work for technically competent person to host their own content if they have something worthwhile to say.

2) Not our core competency: Many companies or teams who say this sounds to me management style BS. If hosting few articles in your domain is beyond their competency then I can't really trust whatever cloud, big data, distributed, serverless computing they are talking about.

Jobs wasn't really like that as in "zen and care for personal wellbeing" at the start and then switching to "angry and materialistic".

"Chen: What we see is the erasure of Buddhism as a religion or tradition that Asians or Asian Americans can claim or identify with."

She writes from a race-essentialist framing to a degree and that drives me crazy.

"white Americans" "white Westerners" x6

There's a sort of cultural appropriation shame being layered here---as if it's bad to have light skin and be interested in Buddhism, or adapt Buddhism to your existing worldview.

If it were non-white people who predominantly led this movement in the US, she would be praising their adaptability as they syncretized a religion to meet their needs.

And are there really no black or latino or asian practitioners of this kind of Buddhism? Of course there are.

There's a "cool" factor of foregrounding race these days and I don't think it's healthy. Westernized Buddhism isn't exclusive to any race, nor is being "Western". Why reinforce the lines between racial categories like this, further reifying them?

That said, I appreciate the critique of corporation-as-organized-religion. The decline in institutional religion in America has left exactly the void that is being filled here, but with probably more fucked up motives than your typical church. At least when you would leave your employment, you wouldn't get kicked out of your congregation. But if your employment _is_ your "congregation"...

Separation of church and work might not be a bad principle.

>Saying that it's a feature of the genre is definitely wrong.

good thing I am not saying that then

The point is that if you see "roguelike" then those features could be there, not that they necessarily will be there. We are talking about a genre, which is a pretty general thing

An FPS could have grenades, but it might not. And including grenades does not suddenly mean it is no longer an FPS.

Steam does list Dead Cells as both a roguelike and a roguelite. So yeah, you literally will find these features in this genre.

> In a democracy, citizens have a moral obligation to be informed enough to make a qualified decision at the ballot box.

Even if you accept this is true, I have a hard time believing that 'following the news' actually achieves this in any substantial way. If anything, it may have the opposite effect, as ad-driven sensationalism selects for disjointed, short-term stories with large emotional impacts over those which enable readers to form far-seeing, rational, coherent world-views.
Same commenter--I can't edit my own comment, so I want to correct this here:

> It's not as if ADHD people are uniquely lacking dopamine and the majority of people have "normal" levels

Corrected:

> It's not as if ADHD people are uniquely lacking dopamine and everyone else is maxed out at "normal" levels. There are ADHD people with less dopamine, the majority of people with what we'd call "normal" dopamine levels, and then a mirrored population from the ADHD people with "extra" dopamine.
I know people who live within 30 minutes of me who get less than that - and I live in a college town.
If you think of world/local news simply as form of entertainment that you don't enjoy, you'll feel no moral pain from abstaining. I quit ~15 years ago and have no regrets.

However, I do think it's important to build a larger mental model of the world than you get by just sitting in a room by yourself. But I'd argue that the news is a terrible (biased, emotional, and inefficient) way of building such a model. Far better, for example, to spend a bit of time each month looking into the large scale trends that are shaping your world, country, and town.

> Loss-leader. Allows them to advertise a low base price, but most people will pay more.

They wouldn't risk it in this case, for such a high cost item. It makes no sense for the marginal cost of the heater, the base price would just be marked above the cost.

> It’s a car seat heater. It’s a luxury. Nothing as dramatic.

Way to miss the point. Thought experiments are dramatic so as to make the principle obvious: just because you've increased the set of possible choices does not mean you've added value. That's the case with the thought experiment and with subscription seat heaters. That's why it's a false choice, the value has already been added by economies of scale, and BMW is trying to profit more without any effort by removing that added value.

As I already explained, we want innovation from effort that encourages progress, not profiteering from artificial scarcity. Skewed incentives that don't result in progress should be criticized and corrected.

From an outside perspective, I always have to chuckle when someone calls CNN, MSNBC left-leaning and FOX right-leaning. One is a full-blown conspiracy-theory right-wing "news" network, and the other two are just regular sensationalized news channels. Does the US even have left-leaning news?
