I generally take a Blu-Ray 1080p over any streaming option.

Note that plenty of movies, in the theater, were never done in 4K to begin with. 4K is great for selling TVs, but cinematographers and directors seem to be more lukewarm on using 4K. I think most movies are still done at 2K. Your UHD Blu-ray Disc might just be an upscale.

I do share your gripes with the interviewer. However, I think that Daly’s questions regarding the ultimate end (meaning purpose) of economic growth are worth pondering. Basically what are we trying to achieve through economic growth? Growth for the purpose of growth is kind of meaningless. But if growth is for improving welfare, why isn’t that the focus, rather than GDP numbers? (And if it isn’t for welfare, what is it for?)

That being said, the interviewer then asking “what’s the meaning of life” was really pointless and unnecessarily edgy. I also agree that not trying to come up with any policy proposal is kind of intellectually lazy and has some strong “I’m just the idea guy” vibes.
It’s been a while since I was doing hardware in a DC, but even dynamic frequency changes in servers were noticeable in workloads.

We’d see serious latency spikes with high volume increases. And high volume would correlate to high I/O on shared storage exacerbating the problem.
You’d get a bunch of transactional failures from the spontaneous latency hit.

Same was true with older virtualization/partitioning of hardware. You’d even see apps back up into memory and swap themselves to death.

Now, the apps were awful: inefficient and intolerant. But that’s the reality for the vast majority of business software. Churned out by devs with little understanding and tight timelines for features.

Reliability being an NFR kills me.

7th Day Adventists have food and lifestyle differences from the surrounding population. They are the ones living longer. There have been a bunch of ongoing long term studies on them.

One of the findings is that diet matters. They’ve looked at diet differences and certain characteristics show up for people who live longer and have more good years. Those same things show up in the other blue zones.
Say what you will about Google but at least it's not a complete fucking parasite on society and the economy like a hedge fund.
They are complicit in colluding with government to construct narratives that support their agenda, whatever it may be (wars, intervention, persecution of real journalists, supporting dictatorships, etc), by mass distribution of misinformation.

Of course they are very careful to try to maintain the veneer of plausible deniability, so while they do get caught out in some big lies, often they can say "well ACTUALLY we didn't really lie we just published something as fact and added a 'sources say' at the end". But the net resulting damage to society is no less than if they had left out the weasel words.

So again, until we have a mechanism to censor and punish the worst offenders (governments and their media corporations), let's not hand them any more power to censor us. They've shown time and again (recently with covid) that they'll even use these censorship powers against the truth, or scientific questions if they decide it.

From your link: "Officials have found that hundreds of the missing would be at least 150 years old if still alive." That's just silly, Japan celebrates their oldest on a regular basis. The false claims would and are scrutinized, not just by Japan.

They really can't - the bandwidth costs would be insane not to mention most people don't have constant 45Mbps+ speed on their TV's or phones (or the hardware wouldn't be able to support it).

> The latter isn’t a valid argument, because it would suggest the morality of murdering someone depends entirely on how many friends they have

I think you misunderstand my point. There are many reason murder is harmful, and abortion applies equally for some but not all of them. So the morality doesn't depend "entirely" on any of them (including the two I listed).

I do actually think its worse to e.g., kill a husband and a father of young children, compared to killing a hermit with no social ties. And it seems like society feels the same way-- otherwise we wouldn't hear about how victims are "a father of five" in tragic news stories.

Those of us lucky enough to live in middle and upper class lifestyles in advanced economies are wrapped up in artificial Disneyland bubbles of our own creation.

Life on average isn't sipping morning lattes, taking trips to the beach, or attending Pilates class. It's a brutal dog eat dog game of energy being captured and exploited. Life being snuffed out and chemicals being digested and repurposed.

A level higher, the physics of solar birth and death, asteroid impacts, and cosmic radiation are blind, uncaring, and absolute.

Our modern and luxurious experiences have been very short lived and do not reflect the typical animal life on earth.

Nature is brutal. It's really quite something to marvel at.

Strange retreat, but no we were talking about capitalism as well.

If we were just talking about netflix story, in that case what we're talking about is a CNN article claiming these things might happen which really has little basis in actual reality or how capitalism works. The _actual_ Netflix is still here, and it is still here despite being deemed not profitable enough by many.

Imo, the only hypothetical reason for Musk not to buy it would be because the real numbers on the bot issue showed the company has seriously defrauded investors, and the stock goes to almost zero. That's implausible to me. It's kind of an outsider case where shorts could get squeezed pretty hard if they're wrong about that, as a Musk owned Twitter has huge growth in front of it.

However, I'd propose there is also a counter-intuitive case to be made that Twitter's management has an incentive to drag out the court case and delay the sale even at the cost of wrecking the company stock if it preserves their control for just a few more months because it gives them one last election cycle of popular narrative influence before the U.S. midterms. It's just a company that has made money for some people, but the party is facing an existential threat at the ballot box in November, and it's plausible they agree to damn the torpedoes and unleash legal chaos that sinks Twitter's stock price but hangs on to control of the company (and its narrative) for just a few more weeks in support of the elections. They would even have tacit support of establishment (R)'s who would be glad to see their MAGA problem handled for them with deplatforming policies.

The strategy there is like burning your ships during a retreat to prevent the enemy from using them after it overruns your perimeter with an (R) controlled house and senate, and a weak record going into 2024. These platforms are political operations, and they're not going to risk a repeat of 2016.
This is wildly speculative, but maybe Twitter takes advantage of Musk's balking on the deal and holds on to content policy control until after midterms, then they scuttle the ship and hand over the ashes to him at the reduced price.

Crazy?
The military has been the employer of last resort since before the draft was cancelled. Now those people who were otherwise unemployable CAN get work, so why sign your life away? Why after Agent Orange and Burn pits would you risk your life even out of combat?

I read the books and enjoyed them.

- To respond to one criticism seen widely here, the authors claim to have validated ages with historical municipal birth records in all the Blue Zones. I cannot speak to these particular zones, but I've been doing genealogical research on my own ancestry and I am absolutely blown away by the ubiquity and detail of both municipal and Catholic church records in Sicily in the 1800s. Preunification Italy was under the rule of various northern European countries and was heavily influenced by their standards of record keeping. I cannot say if this applies to the other countries in the book, but generally speaking, just because these records are old doesn't mean they are bad.

- One thing that was very notable in the books but isn't discussed very much is that, with the exception of the Loma Linda cohort, the Blue Zone areas are all quite poor. They all primarily eat food they are able to grow or harvest themselves, out of necessity, which encourages simple and consistent diets. They have routine, simple lives that are made fulfilling by concentrating on community, family, and friends. They are content with what little they have and do not strive for more than they need.

I found the books quite inspiring. I think the lessons learned are good, even if they won't get me to 100. In any case I've felt much better and lost weight on a closer-to-Blue-Zone diet than I did before.

It has caught some bugs for me, and I essentially never think about it anymore, because `goimports` just handles this.

Muscle mass in that equation would be relative to stature, so being smaller wouldn’t be a disadvantage in that regard.

In my comment above I didn’t mean to suggest strength is useless or irrelevant so much as that scaling it up by a few percent doesn’t appear to confer meaningful benefits. Someone 5’6” is probably strong enough to do everything someone 6’ can do in every day life, even without modern technology. You can generally scale down what you need to, and for exceptional things, you can likely recruit and partner to solve the problem or apply intelligent solutions.

I’m open to being wrong. Like I was saying, this is just based on correlations I’ve been reading about lately and far from peer reviewed study results.

I can understand that position if someone’s axiom is that an unborn child is “just a clump of cells”, but do you think it’s okay for a child to be killed in cases where a couple just couldn’t be bothered to use contraception?

If yes, in a hypothetical world in which giving a child up for adoption isn’t possible, would you support a parent killing their toddler because they don’t want to have to slave to support them (that is, their autonomy is harshly limited)? If no, how do you reconcile this with your position on abortion (e.g., perhaps you would draw some distinction between slavery/forced-labor and bodily autonomy?)?
The prescience of Orwell's comment is that "Russia's turn would come" rather than any semantics about exactly what "England is out of the picture" meant.

Germany and Russia were in a military alliance and were dividing Poland between them when Orwell wrote that.

So yes, it was very prescient.

I don't like the Democratic party either, but this ignores the party switch that occurred during the Nixon election. If you want to learn more about the Southern Strategy look up Barry Goldwater and Republican campaign strategist Lee Atwater. "States Rights" has traditionally been the rallying cry of racist regressives, regardless of party affiliation.

> I encourage you to read source material. What I’m reading from you is exceedingly partisan and not really a balanced view or even historical view; it’s mostly propaganda.

> Ah that 1619 project… the Marxist rewrite of American history.

I have never read the 1619 project. I mostly read books written about the specific histories of commodities like lumber or tobacco or oil, but if you know anything about US history you understand why Slavery is so important and how it shaped our institutions and discourse. It's not "Marxist". But being so quick to dismiss a retelling of US history with slavery is a giveaway that you might be a little bit of a right-leaning reactionary. How is it any more of a rewrite than the deification of George Washington in our K-12 education?

It appears that you've exhausted your arguments at this point. You have no refutation so now you're claiming I'm biased when you are trying to make a "both sides bad" and "you're biased" argument to claim victory. You also failed to respond to my other comment in this thread because whatever stance you have taken crumbles under any scrutiny.

You are either being intellectually dishonest because you are too cowardly to take a hard stance on your regressive views, or you're just unaware of history. Either way it's not very interesting, I could have the same argument in a thousand Youtube comment sections.
> Imo, the only hypothetical reason for Musk not to buy it would be because the real numbers on the bot issue showed the company has seriously defrauded investors, and the stock goes to almost zero.

My understanding, at least from reading Twitter's lawsuit and other's commentary on it, is that Twitter lying about bot numbers is irrelevant because Musk agreed to, in contract, buy it regardless of those facts.
