> Howard is great with one problem: he kinda hates math

I'm sorry what?

I run a math study group 4x per week.

Right now the book I'm reading during my rest time is a calculus book.

I've co-authored a lengthy paper on matrix calculus foundations for deep learning.

I wrote a lot of the math materials in our numerical linear programming course.

It really seems like you have very very little understanding of me or the software library I've created, but yet are nonetheless comfortable publicly pronouncing your opinions about both.

But most people don't appear to prefer Airbnb to anything else? Hotels are still a far larger market than airbnb, 5-10x as big in revenue, in number of rooms that exist, in almost any metric - and that doesn't even take into account that there are tons of hotels listed on airbnb now.

I think where a lot of people stand is that fear that party wonks do know that and they simply don't care if they lose again, because they can just keep playing the same games.
To me I think that it is often just the case that I am not completely convinced yet. Debating something with someone can be a rather stressful social situation. Maybe I am not able to explain my point of view well, and just want to get out of this stressful situation. Also, when you actually think you might be wrong about something, you are expected to admit you are wrong, which basically feels like being pressured to announce that you have just changed your worldview. Making a decision like that, on the spot, in the middle of a stressful social situation, while you are not even sure about it yet, can be a very anxiety inducing situation.

Maybe it sounds a bit extreme to see admitting you are wrong as announcing you changing your worldview, but it just kinda feels like that for me, even if it is about something small.

Also, for me at least, I have this weird anxiety that, whenever I tell someone I made a decision, that I could never go back on that decision. It feels really weird to me. For the longest time I felt like I couldn't let anyone know I wanted to live a healthier lifestyle, because it somehow felt like, if I told anyone about it, I could never go back to comfort food and stuff like that. Not sure what that is all about, even my psychologist didn't understand it.
I'm not at all an Elon fanboi, but you do have to respect that launch cadence (to the degree you have to respect anything.)
I've experienced with this with racquetball strangely enough, and my brother tells me that he regularly experiences this with playing the piano.

(This makes me terrified of the degree to which programming has affected my way of thinking, considering I've spent 100x as much time doing that as playing racquetball.)
I'm curious if you've ever put substantial thought into how human relations on planet Earth could be improved? To me, this is the sort of thinking that seems almost entirely absent among those who organize affairs - to me, it seems like people aren't even trying to make things better (on a more absolute scale, not the relative scale that people tend to use).
Honestly, not trading with Russia would have been short sighted. EU is founded on integrating the belligerents of WW2 close enough that it would be unthinkable to happen again. The same method, which at least has worked once, was tried with Russia and now 30 years later, or more likely in 2014 with the invasion of Crimea we can conclude that Russia is different in some core way of thinking. Not too different though, looking at how the Baltic states have developed when they got the choice.

The alternative scenario, with a Russia still riding on the tail ends of soviet military might in steep decline not even given a chance in the early 2000s seems like a recipe for an even worse outcome than we have today.
I just wish there was a more affordable option. 20$ a month is steep for one repo is steep.

But like the article mentions these companies already make compromises for countries like China and compliance would have a minimal financial impact for these companies versus pulling out of a major market. I have little to no confidence in these corporations to do the right thing.
One reason is that companies don’t want to have a potentially very large amount, potentially forever, on their balance sheet.

I think "they" just don't care, or they working in an operating regime where facts or engineering principles don't necessarily matter. Workplace politics has much stronger influence over their decisions and action because it has direct impact to salary and/or promotion which is the whole entirety of their motives at work.

Maybe it could also indicate that you are wrongfully mixed into normies with level of intelligence that matches your social skill levels, not overall or technical levels?
The classic "I got ripped off by PayPal" thread is as old as the internet itself. It's amazing what you can get away with in this country with enough money.
Playing devil's advocate here, I'm not sure why encryption would be the forcing factor there and not, for instance, CCTV, blanket data retention or preflight passenger screening? If presumption of innocence necessarily had to mean immunity from precautionary, non-discriminating security measures, then none of the things I listed should be happening (NB: I'm not saying they're OK, I'm just saying the ship sailed on your argument long ago). And there's nothing rhetorical about my comment, so far as I can see.

The US taxpayer already pays for the best socialized medicine system in the world[0], our government/compulsory spending on a per capita basis ($10052) is higher than the nation (Germany) with the next highest overall per capita spending ($7383). We are being ripped off. Anyone who tells you we need to raise taxes to pay for Medicare for all is a friend of the medical industrial complex, not the people.

All of my clients use Bazel now, so I've started using Bazel. I like it a lot, but there are some kludges when you get into any non-trivial chain of dependencies.

First off, if you depend upon another Bazel project which has its own dependencies, you need to clone dependencies from its WORKSPACE into yours for any targets you are hitting. If they chose to include macros for importing their dependencies, you may use those, but this would be opt-in. This is not technically unreasonable; you have all the power you need to have everything in your project depend upon a single version of a shared library or potentially import multiple versions (depending on how tangled the tree is), but you have to use this power, even if you don't care. Compare this to a non-sandboxed, more naive build using whatever version of libraries was found in the environment. You have the means to tightly control what is in the environment, or not care. With Bazel you have to care.

The dependency chain has led to a problem in practice when I tried to use Google's protobufs and Cython at the same time. The protobuf generated Python bindings use a particular version of Cython and override Cython's own Bazel rules, which seemed like a very rude and unnecessary practice. This made it impossible for me to use Cython in the same project as protobufs. A bug report to protobuf was met with "PR welcome."

As far as I can tell there are no "best practices" or features in Bazel to ease this kind of degenerate dependency chaining. If there are, a popular Google library decided not to use them. I consider dependencies to be the best and worst thing about Bazel; when it works it just works, when it doesn't it really doesn't.

All that said, I would probably use Bazel over pretty much any other alternative for business software in C++. For one-offs and PoC it is overkill.
Modem problems require AT solutions, but I guess I need a font problem solution.
This also happens with ADHD. There are 3 "types" but last I checked, I think there were believed to be 6 distinct disorders or underlying problems under those labels. You could have one or more of them.

A lot of that internal conflict is actually the results of foreign acts of war though. Just look at how much money and other forms of support for the far-right came out of Russia - and not just for the US but also about half of Europe.

And in any case the US has been continuously involved in some kind of war for like the last decades? Vietnam, Iraq 1, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq 2, anti-IS coalition...
Gentrification and housing shortage is caused by bad policy. That's the root of the problem. Enforcement of existing zoning regulations, and also zoning regulations that dramatically under-provision the city for number of homes.

That's fair, I think you're looking at it from the perspective of similar belief structure and religious doctrine. I was thinking about community size and distance from the "mainstream" beliefs of those religion, not necessarily the way in which they diverge.

Not really, they take your chances down to dying from it by a factor of 10 fold. The vaccine is a success. Covid-19 is a much more unstable and mutable virus than polio so it changes so quickly we may always be just a couple steps behind, luckily the human immune system is also ready for such viruses for the most part after being primed by the vaccines. The antivax crowd turn their back on science and turn to mysticism and demagogues for their answers.
At least with M2s coming out we'll get away from the problem where "M1 Max" sounds identical to "M1 Macs"
I'd argue that a certain randomness of choice could indeed increase freedom of action, though it doesn't grant "free will" in the common sense. There's no need for quantum physics in this, though. A deterministic rand() will do just fine.
Speaking about marketing to developers. Pushing your product through developer relations/advocates is pretty gross as well. It's frustrating to see all of the marketing content produced by those people. As a developer I'm trying to solve the problems sorrounding my domain. To see people acting as sales people and a dev is not something i want.

Unlike religion, government policies are derived not from an absolute source of truth but are related only to the values of the people being governed by them. So, you know, may the best man win.

I'm not confused.. but as demonstrated in this thread, confusion exists amongst users.

Also your example sort of made my point. The names "threadripper 3990x" and "ryzen 5500" are pretty meaningless by themselves and from those names alone there's no implied relationship about which one is newer/faster. This is a good thing! However, "M2 Macbook Pro" vs "M1 Pro Macbook Pro" could be naively interpreted incorrectly.

Post on BBB website, send the details and all relevant information to whatever your equivalent of the attorney general is and the one in Paypal and OVH's jurisdiction. Your best course of action is not to focus on PayPal but OVH. Send certified letters to both PayPal and OVH informing them of your contacting of the attorney general. Send to corporate offices and address of general counsel.

You can open arbitration but it costs money.

Be sure to clearly state what happened, why you think it is wrong, and your preferred remedy.

> holding a high value on money

> recoup losses outside of a court system

So your religion discourages going to court (because of money, and not of the court itself) and you are trying to find a way around that? Seems like you have to re-evaluate why you are in this faith in the first place.

This is familiar to me. I've known people so like this and once an idea gets into their head it would take dynamite to shift. To them it is right at an emotional level and facts will be ignored when presented. It's right, so they bulldoze on getting angrier and more resentful as the facts build up.

I'm starting to finally[1] learn just to give up when I see this as trying to change such minds becomes a self-damaging time sink.

Screw this. I don't care if they succesfully send people to mars today, with the things Elon has been doing, the way they treat workers and the endless racism lawsuits I can't support this. Feds need to threaten Elon with cancelling Space X contracts unless he gets his shit together.

Elon fired employees for asking him to cut out the b.s. because it is a distraction!
Funny that that's the conspiracy you reach for to make the joke. Not the one where people planned in secret to send people to the United States to learn how to fly airplanes so that they could hijack commercial airlines and commit suicide attacks.
My first was Reaper Man, which isn't a bad place to start. Better from a context point of view to start with Mort perhaps, but not necessary.

His take on Death often fills the role of the outsider, trying to understand us and by doing so exposing our oddities, much like Data in Trek and other such characters. Possibly that is why the books that feature him heavily are some of my favourites.

I don't want UV sterilized air. The war on germs is one we can't win. If everything is sterilized then our immune systems will only weaken and when we do come across a flu virus outdoors it will us 10x harder and potentially kill us.
I had the good luck to see several of these in the wild in Ecuador, along the Napo River, about 15 years ago. The guide said they called them the "stinky turkey", which gave me a chuckle. I could also swear he said they had purple blood, but I haven't been able to verify that detail.
The tutorial is quite long, so it's possible I missed this information somewhere. But what I would like to see is a breakdown like "If you have X bits of entropy in your seed phrase, a border wallet puts Y bits of that into the grid and Z bits of that into your memorized pattern." This would make it clear how much security you're gaining over just writing down the seed phrase (Z bits worth).

The whole point of OtherOS (and the official Linux port to the PS2 before this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_for_PlayStation_2 ) was to get the system classified as a general purpose computer rather than as a game console because that gave them import tax benefits in quite a few jurisdictions.
A fishtank or fountain water pump will be inexpensive to the point that it shouldn't be much of a concern, they can take some abuse and won't break instantaneously, even when used improperly.
Exactly the same for me. We had a defect management system, and a defect can be connected to others as dupes. We'd have whole chains of dupes. We used union find to identify them.

So in my particular case I simply spin up a Linode or DO node when I will do something that will require hours of data processing. Maybe they are not the fastest options but at least lives my personal computer alone when processing.

There are also services that rent Macs or PCs with serious GPUs but I have no experience with those. AFAIK, for people who render 3D stuff there are render farms but I also don't have experience since it's not something I do professionally. When I render something that will take hours, I would ask for a remote desktop connection to my friends gaming PC.
Can you explain how this worldview works? How would an alternative means to recoup losses here not just be a clone of the court system?
Thats not how biology works. With sweet water, oxygen supply is the killer at high temperatures, and as soon as more than a few fishes die, a cascade reaction is triggered. Yes over centuries, more resilient species might emerge, but short term, life in a body of water can just collectively die. There are very frequent events in the summer, where small lakes completely die, if the point of no return is crossed.
> Some devs would be surprised because this stuff is effective at getting a larger N - total sales funnel volume, not efficiency, is most of their goal.

This is a short-term/long-term tradeoff. If you have the choice between:

- N people into the funnel, 10% decide to join, the rest go away without a negative opinion, some of them even with a "not right now but maybe later" opinion

- 10*N people into the funnel, 2% decide to join, the rest go away with varying degrees of negative opinion

Short-term, the second choice will give you 2x the users joining. Long-term, the second choice will give your company a bad reputation.
Let's not fool ourselves into thinking that more than 1% of buyers will use this for anything else than changing channels on TVs displayed at Walmart, and feel like Mr Robot for a few minutes.

Our brains are general purpose pattern-matching machines, self-programmed by their environment.

Intense interest in anything, will eventually train models within the mind that not only recognise higher order patterns, but predict them too.

Those “predictions” come from the intuitive parts of our mind - they bubble up - seemingly from nowhere. There is a lot of wonder about this, and it is fun to explore (say making music, or playing with patterns). The predictions are not part of our rational (imperative?) step-by-step mind.

We also create irrational narratives to explain where our intuitions came from - the successful startup founder explaining their route - the mystic explaining their source.

It grew out of tasks in which he asked a split-brain person to explain in words, which uses the left hemisphere, an action that had been directed to and carried out only by the right one. “The left hemisphere made up a post hoc answer that fit the situation.” In one of Gazzaniga's favourite examples, he flashed the word 'smile' to a patient's right hemisphere and the word 'face' to the left hemisphere, and asked the patient to draw what he'd seen. “His right hand drew a smiling face,” Gazzaniga recalled. “'Why did you do that?' I asked. He said, 'What do you want, a sad face? Who wants a sad face around?'.” The left-brain interpreter, Gazzaniga says, is what everyone uses to seek explanations for events, triage the barrage of incoming information and construct narratives that help to make sense of the world.
