Eh it is fun to an extent. When I fought with the YPG I saw a lot of Kurds jumping with exuberance cheering at the enemy "he tried to shoot me" and then joyfully shooting back. Many wars are mostly intense boredom, punctuated by occasional bouts of terror or joy. Also there's a weird sort of release from the typical responsibilities of life -- _all_ you have to do is fight (which as fucked up as it sounds, can be more simple than worrying about the next side hustle / the wife / the kids). If you're on a rear-guard type of situation it's mostly drinking chai and smoking cigarettes.
Nope, usually you get the cult of war and cult of sports together as a bundle.

I guess you appreciate any opportunity to restate your beliefs.

I was just suggesting that offering war as a solution to the problem of already being at war is pretty circular.
Your experiene may be different, but I've only even heard of this (RSUs before options) at the very early, pre-fundraising, stage. And this only works because the taxable value of these RSUs at grant is basically $0.

I'm not sure if this approach would make sense after any sort of traction/fundraising.

Executives are incentivised to liquidate as soon as possible because unrealised gains in a startup are very risky. Executives are disincentivised from allowing employees to liquidate because the illiquid nature of the stock is a large part of what keeps the employees working at the company.

This happened in 2021, anyone will buy anything when the market is doing well. DataRobot is doing badly by 2022 standards, by 2021 standards it was a great investment simply by virtue of being an investment — it’s hard to overstate how absolutely batshit the private market was in 20/21.
I am not sure what Biden could have done to fix the economy based on what he inherited. Interest rates should have risen a long time prior to his inauguration.

> There have been so many peaceful, even pacifist civilizations throughout history.

The violent societies have also been wiped out and dominated by other violent ones. Or have caused their own collapse by other means. So violence has not yet shown itself to be a successful strategy for societial survival.

Survival, it turns out, is a game one cannot win. Everything and everyone comes to an end eventually, even the universe itself apparently. Justification of violence on the sole grounds of continued survival is therefore very suspect.

> Is actual war fun? Is the Ukraine war fun? I doubt it’s fun for any of the participants. It’s not fun for Ukrainian soldiers, it’s not fun for Russian soldiers, and it’s not fun for Russian or Ukrainian civilians.

War seems to rewrite the brain. People are miserable and bored most of the time, are terrified while in combat, and come back with psychological issues we're still just beginning to understand. It's hell. And yet, people do get addicted to the mayhem and the rush. The mercenary life is attractive to a lot of people. There's still a lot being debated here, but one of the theories about PTSD is that much of the damage is done (or, at least, is made permanent) when people return to civilian life. Having been exposed to life-or-death situations, they find daily life to be low-stakes and artificial; the time in which they were most alive as in combat (even if they hated the experience and what it did to them).

Still, I agree that actual war is not at all "fun".
I'm wary too.

Stand upon a language and look down. You get to raw physics as you go down. All the abstractions are a useful reconception, not the reality. Stand upon the language and look up. You see all the unrealized programs that can be built atop it. Focus in on the programs of a particular type: those that implement a language within the language. Spot one in particular - the one that uses say `@property` `isinstance` and `raise` and `TypeError` to always preserve type safety in every situation a person cares about.

So what I am concerned about is the behavior of the finite set of elements provided by the language and their properties. I can make claims about these concrete things - the addition operator in one language rejects by type but in another it doesn't. But I'm quickly overwhelmed by infinities when I try to do more.
That's an interesting idea. I haven't seen that kind of hybrid in real life, the closest thing I can think of is called a bucket brigade:

By the sea, in a small town in Cornwall. Loads to do, and he does a lot of it - he surfs, rides his bike, climbs, hangs with his mates. He’s an excellent fellow, and I hope nothing I’ve said suggests otherwise. When he’s not on his phone, he’s an incredibly balanced chap. Even when he is on his phone, he’s brilliant - as I said, he looks at some seriously interesting stuff, much of it about space and rockets and physics, as this is the stuff that sparks him.

But my wider worry is still there - not just for him, but for all of us. A world seen through a 5” screen is just a poor facsimile. It’s not the world, full of the gnarly stuff - and the beautiful stuff - that goes on out here.

Boredom is another thing - actually (as we hopefully all know by now..), boredom and downtime is useful. It lets the brain make sense of the world, it’s where the ideas happen. If your “downtime” is a constant buzz of notifications, or dopamine hits, what happens to inspiration, or those “tada” moments?

Collaboration vs. Skill (Or Labor) Exploitation [in Academia]
The point that is being made is that the Nazi's electoral support base had a _lot_ of women, and the question is "how did a party which had a patriarchal ontology of society attract support from women". Your comment is missing some evidence - the Nazis did not achieve a majority in a number of elections, but to conclude that women as a category specifically disliked them (given that many men also voted against them, likely for much the same reasons as women) is not evidenced by this.
That's the majority of everyone's first blog posts ever though. It's nothing wrong with this platform, that's just what people's first blog posts look like.

Most people write 1 blog post, saying they have a blog, and then never write any more. That's fine.

Any new blogging platform is going to first attract users who are new to blogging: everyone who is not new to blogging already has their blog set up, so unless they're particularly unhappy with it there is no reason for them to use a new blogging platform.
Just want to put my two cents in and say I love the format. I think it definitely appeals more to younger folks with all the emojis and cartoonish styles (like myself, early twenties).

But the interactive prompts are great. They really get you to engage with the content. The humorous tone strikes a good balance and doesn’t get distracting as well.

I’ll probably buy the course once more chapters are released.
To be honest I was expecting different kind of content.
Regarding tab groups, there's two things that I've found that seems to have solved my requirements:
- Workona (this is an extension for chrome)
- Arc (https://thebrowser.company/)

Both essentially have the idea of "spaces" for web browsers.
Sometimes it's a little too much. And it starts to be a little dumb. One time on an Assassin's Creed I was like wow why kill that guy?? It wasn't even for the part to gather info. That was so unnecessary (even for the story itself). Can I just talk to him and persuade him first or something?
So, to clarify, "WEBassembly" was a terrible name in retrospect -- the majority of WASM use (that I have encountered) is serverside, not clientside.

The super tl;dr of WASM is that it's a universal bytecode format, an idea sort of like the JVM or the CLR. There are a few major benefits to this:

1. Languages can pick WASM as a compile target, and then run anywhere that WASM is supported. This includes the browser, the server, embedded devices, wherever.

2. WASM acts as a "Lingua Franca" for interop between languages, sort of like a C ABI. Any language that supports importing WASM bundles immediately gains support for calling code from any language that supports compiling to WASM.

It's trivial to write a program that calls functions from IE. Rust, Go, Zig, and C# in the span of 10 lines, because of WASM.

On the clientside, you still need JS because WASM needs to interact with the browser's DOM API's. I'm not convinced of the benefits of WASM for writing web apps.

(One exception is maybe Blazor for .NET, which is exceptionally well-done)
Vivaldi browser https://vivaldi.com/ and Vivaldi browser snapshot (both available for desktop and mobile) have become my favorite(s).

I like FF but its insistince that I need to sign in from another device to verify that I am me has always been a little bit...obnoxious. Google is a joke in terms of privacy, no matter what they claim. Their entire business model is selling ads, and they do that by watching us.

"The largest investments in music are the acquisition of old publishing catalogs, while almost nothing is spent developing new artists."

While music companies are certainly spending big on old publishing catalogs, the second statement here is fact-free. Investment in new artists still represents a very substantial portion of the big three record labels' budgets, and is very much still viewed by execs as the most important part of the business.

I'd like to add that the most significant innovations in popular music have not been a result of record label investment but rather of grassroots creative work by individual people and communities, largely unpaid (and thanks to technological innovations and new instruments more than anything the labels themselves do) - the record labels just pick people out of a preexisting music culture and turn them into stars and brands. The labels are ultimately not the driving force behind musical innovation, so this article comes across as unnecessarily alarmist.

You are assuming "diversity" is worthwhile, then working backwards from that assumption, justifying the actual discrimination, all to arrive at a begged conclusion.

If diversity was worthwhile - leading to productivity gains or whatever metric, then evidence of that would had manifested by now; and we wouldn't have to put an inordinate amount of effort into shoehorning diversity, for its own sake.
There used to be some good content on Medium because it had a fantastic editing/publishing experience and discoverability was good.

> Medium, a publishing platform that sought to split the difference between blogs and tweets: medium-length posts, [...]

For me, I think it failed because we end up with shallow posts that split the difference between a tweet and a blog. Monetization/paywalls may have accelerated it.

It's the same as anything else, once you remove all the barriers to entry most of the content is trash. The value of any content platform is being able to surface quality relevant content. Medium doesn't have any mechanisms for this so isn't better than anything else.
It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.

Robert E. Lee

There definitely seem to be combatants that enjoy at least some aspects of war. If you look at the historical military literature, including poetry, it is not all just negative.

It is true that with increasing industrialization of war during the last 150 years, the overall tenor has changed.

People don’t usually automatically get to write at a specific outlet just because. In this case, the writer spent nearly a year freelancing at this outlet before they became a full-time staff writer just last month, which means they had to put a lot of work in to even get their spot.

There is a proven way to make money from price differentials.

It is not building a price comparison web service.

It is buying low and selling high.

The logical problem with a price comparison business is that it matches price sensitive buyers with lowest cost suppliers.

Logically, paying for a price comparison service is at odds with lowest cost and lowest price because it raises the cost and/or price.

Good luck.

I noticed that many artists that I like put out albums in 2021, but far fewer have put out albums in 2022, even accounting for the year only being half over. I think this is partially due to the pandemic: with artists unable to tour, many took the time to release new music. That music largely came out in 2021. Now in 2022 they are touring to promote the new music rather than releasing new content.

It's not semantics at all. "Human nature" implies a universal, inherent state. If we have peaceful, pacifist civilizations regularly cropping up throughout history, then saying that human nature is violence just simply isn't true. It doesn't matter if the violent civilizations come to dominate. That the peaceful societies exist at all (let alone are abundant and common) means that argument falls apart.
I'm with you in the abstract, but where I live there's toxic culture around sports that made it unpalatable for me as a kid. Back then what turned me off was belligerent parents on the sidelines yelling at the children, but the symptoms actually go way beyond that one little thing. (Conflating excellence with dominance is another example.)
Agree. I’d say it’s worse - those hours are sporadic, endless distraction. Every few minutes, a buzz, a ding, something taking you away from whatever else you were doing…
We aren't having massive inflation yet because we have labor from China and other countries producing goods for us. When one producer goes down, another ramps up.

> clumsy writing of Mein Kampf,

Mein Kampf is clumsy but offers real insights into propaganda. He really thought about it. He clearly understands the value of propaganda in the war: "propaganda demands the most skilled brains that can be found."

When Hitler talks mass psychology and propaganda, he says something very insightful even if it's inconvenient to hear for some. He calls masses feminine. When he talks to his followers, he talks to a beast that knows to be emotional and irrational. Rational reasoning is useless. Just emotion, repetition, never backing down, or admitting mistake.
A better conspiracy theorist than me might claim that this is why there has been such a strong anti-piracy push: gotta keep the poors in their place.

Maybe you're experiencing the stage of emotional disregulation beyond fight or flight: freeze.[1]

I have been trying to actually take a real break when I get distressed.

Say you've been procrastinating for an hour, and you only have another hour before you need to stop for the day. In the moment, it feels like you can't "waste" fifteen minutes on a break because you just wasted an hour. Truth is, though, it's better to spend fifteen minutes doing something to calm the emotions down and then get a productive 45 minutes in.

It takes practice, but like all good habits, the benefits compound over time.

My hesitation won't last a minute before voting for such an adventure, but I think I cannot really rule out a rogue entity in such expedition that could cause a "kinetic winter" situation on Earth, that has to be first addressed(or taken as a managed but ultimately inevitable risk) before we would be able to do this.
