> It's stunning, dehumanizing and depressing how many times I've had people wield a social cudgel against me because they didn't like the facts I presented. It's infuriating to be mocked as a "know it all" when you are educated and knowledgeable on a subject and incompetent people are dead set on proving you wrong and shaming you for your disobedience.

This is huge reason why I actively try to seek out teams and organizations where I am surrounded by people who are more knowledgeable, more competent, or just outright smarter than I am. I hate being the "smartest person in the room", because mostly it ends up being a series of futile efforts followed by watching predictable negative outcomes without any control to fix it. Because I seek out these situations, I'm highly practiced at admitting I'm wrong or seeking understanding by learning from others, despite the impression some people have of me that I am unwilling to admit it when I am wrong.

Contrary to what many people likely believe about me after meeting me, I take no joy whatsoever in being "smart", I just want to know enough to constantly be improving myself and the world around me, and that happens to require a large amount of knowledge to have any meaningful chance of correctness. If we're not moving the world forward as a species to better things in the future compared to now, what even is the point of being alive? We're only special in some ways as compared to other animals, but our basic reason for living is the same, to carry on, to procreate, and to ultimately continually improve.
It makes sense, since it's not "real" that people would act in whatever way favors their own interests the most
It would be like upgrading the train network to increase the distance between rails, to increase the size of cargo that can be transported.

Not just one city needs the upgrade, all of them will need it, and all the related infrastructure like bridges and tunnels too.
See my reply to the other person who made this argument. You ignore my second half of the comment where I debunk the argument with "logic".

> The rule of law exists precisely because of the temptation to think with our "empathy" instead of our brains.

Assumptions galore are made here. First off, the rule of law exists because of power heirarchies. People create laws to protect THEMSELVES and THEIR interests. Monarchs didn't create laws for the benefit of everyone, neither do dictators. Furthermore many laws exist to augment our empathy. Speeding laws exist because many people are incapable of comprehending the danger they could pose to someone else. Animal cruelty is illegal because the majority of people understand it's wrong, and we will force that wisdom upon others who don't.

> the temptation to think with our "empathy" instead of our brains

Where do you think empathy comes from if not our brains? Empathy is a tool of reason, not orthogonal to it. Would you praise someone for only using one of their senses? Or would you think they are ridiculous for constructing a worldview based only around their sense of smell? Thinking that empathy is somehow a trait to be overcome and not a tool is the same as eating soap regardless of how it tastes, because it "smells good". Empathy allows us to consider the conditions and experiences of those outside of our immediate sphere of influence. In a democracy this is especially invaluable, since individuals make decisions that influence society at large.

The inability to see outside of your every day experience is not logical or rational, it's the exact opposite. Empirical evidence can be a great tool for analyzing macro trends, but empathy allows us to better understand the causality.

>I think it's slowly entering public consciousness and some streaming platforms have taken notice and are returning to episodic releases.

Furthermore, as streaming options proliferate, I assume that more people are hopping between services. Episodic releases don't totally solve that problem--but it does add some friction. Someone can't now signup for a service to watch the new hotness lots of people are talking about, binge watch, and then cancel their subscription.
That's a lovely idea, but I simply don't have the ability to do that.

I think it's great that we're able to fix our own machines, and I think it's wonderful to teach people to fix their own machines, but it's ablist to assume everyone has the ability to do so. I don't.

Moreover, there are lots of people who support Right to Repair but don't want to have to repair their own equipment. Wouldn't it be lovely to be able to take your computer down to a repair shop or have someone come over and fix it?

>No, it’s not the exact same logic, because I’m not discussing people’s immutable characteristics

It's literally the exact same logic, because racists discuss people's mutable characteristics as well.

>I’m discussing communication styles, which are mutable, and the ideologies that tend to be associated with them, which are also mutable.

You literally just described "SPEAK ENGLISH" and "if only Black people spoke properly and wore their pants up above their waist" (both mutable characteristics).

This has to be post-irony. Good troll.
AirBnB's advantage was how cheap it was compared to hotels and other accommodations. That advantage is pretty much gone now, so basically you get an expensive place, with horrific quality control. It's a roll of the dice.

I've gone back to hotels. The experience is streamlined. No janky lockboxes with codes that don't work, no unresponsive hosts (someone available 24/7 at most), places are cleaned on request, and other amenities are typically available right on site.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.09676 Dumitrescu et al

not my area, but I think they're working with 'floquet systems' (the same platform used to build a time crystal) and 'mbl systems' (a kind of quantum system that can be temporarily protected from thermodynamic entropy). I'm reaching, but I think both kinds of systems show extended lifetimes when you drive them externally with a periodic laser.

I think the Dumitrescu paper is building on work done in Else 2020 https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.03584

The Else paper is using two lasers with non-ratio frequencies to extend the lifetime of these systems. The new dumitrescu paper is discretizing that approach by using a fibonacci sequence instead? and somehow this buys them a few more seconds of system coherence?

I would say hotels are better in general, sure, but there's plenty of exceptions.

The worst for me was a hotel in Paris I booked via Booking.com. It was completely different from the announced, and had several issues, such as having an outside bathroom without a lockable door. Luckily it closed during the pandemic.

Booking.com not only fought tooth and nail to charge me, claiming to my credit card that I needed to be charged since I "actually stayed at the hotel", but they then deleted my review claiming that "I didn't stay at the hotel". The key to getting a chargeback was sending the email of the deleted review to the credit card company.

Today I just search using Booking.com but make reservations via phone.

The problem is not AirBnB or Booking.com. The problem is "internet companies". They all suck.

What you're describing is the polar opposite of what many people are looking for. When I'm travelling I want a private space to come home to, without someone else rummaging around in the background, worries about when I can or can't use the shower, how early someone wakes up etc. What you're describing is more or less Couchsurfing and there's a reason Airbnb is more popular.

Every felony charge goes through a grand jury.

Indeed, every death is investigated to some extent. Every county has a coroner, some states have full-blown inquests after each death.

Do you think when grandma dies of old age she’s just taken to a funeral home and that’s that?

There’s more to it.

If something looks suspicious, it’s kicked up to the next level. If questions remain, it’s kicked up another level.

I don’t mean to sound rude, but you seem to have little experience with the day-to-day legal processes surrounding every death. You may be more familiar with a crime like arson. As you MAY know, every single structure fire is investigated. Some turn out to be arson. Some don’t. These processes exist, always have existed, and I think you’re straining.

>I’m not sure you’ve thought this through.

I’ve been doing this for a living for over 25 years.

Libertarianism always falters when it's up against one of the many commons we inhabit with our fellow humans. None of the single-word -ism ideologies work because the world is just too complex for us to reduce to a single way of thinking.

Local radio talking about this story interviewed gardeners that suggested planting milkweed, as if a some scattered houses will make any sort of difference.

Had this same experience - my girlfriend and I booked an AirBNB for New Years roughly 5 years ago. I spent considerably more than a hotel on the AirBNB for a luxury highrise condo. We show up, host is MIA. Of course trying to book anything on New Years in NYC is like pulling teeth. I had been using AirBNB for years before I realized that my only hotel experience had been cheap Holiday Inns and I had bought into the marketing that Airbnbs were universally better in my early 20s. When it works its great, when it doesn't, the stress alone makes the whole thing not worth it. I haven't used Airbnb since.

that all sounds like well-functioning, pro-social behavior to me.

autism, like many "disorders", is keenly overdiagnosed, to create a sociopolitically-mediated norm from which deviance (like "high-functioning" autism) can be classified and, where desired, ostrasized, for the sake of control. it's a classic hammer looking for a nail issue, but with coercion as its central aim. biology is very unlike computers and populations of anything biological will exhibit a fascinating array of variance and an enormous range of biologically valid (but perhaps not sociopolitically valid) "normal".

> From personal experience I've never been wowed by Paracetamol in tablet form, however after experiencing it in liquid form via IV - wow; it's a surprisingly capable analgesic.

Part of this is because the oral route is very damaging to some types of substances, I.e. molocules are getting digested before they even reach the liver - where paracetamol/acetaminophen is metabolized and becomes bioavailable.

If I recall correctly, the maximum dosage on the bottle is typically the maximum under the assumption that all of the medicine hits the liver. Because everyone’s gut biomes and digestive enzymes are slightly different, everyone has a different amount that actually reaches the liver. Taking it IV skips the harsh environment of the stomach and doctors can give you the maximum safe dose which ends up being way more than you can get via the oral route at the same level.

> I’d also point out that whilst Ibuprofen and other NAISDs can be great for short term inflammation, it can lead to worst long-term healing/outcomes

I wish this was more studied because, while this is true, there is way more nuance that they’ve been able to capture. My partner is allergic to paracetamol/acetaminophen and stronger pain relievers get compounded with that so she has to get it compounded with ibuprofen. After a surgery she had however, there were few options because her surgeon did not want her to take any kind of blood thinners. Luckily, she is sensitive to the numbing effects of ibuprofen so she takes a low dose (200-400mg vs 800-1200mg) and he gave her the clear to have up to 400mg every 6 hours.

There is also the danger of ulcers developing because it affects the stomach pH drastically, but can be mitigated with large quantities of water or food to help buffer it.
BPC-157 is your best shot, have loads of experience with it and nothing but good things to say.

Because nuclear power plants are stupid expensive to build.

The electricity sales prices is dominated by paying back the multi-billion dollar loan which funded the construction. Running a nuclear plant half of the time means doubling the electricity price - and it is already by far the most expensive method of producing electricity.

If you build nuclear power plants, you basically have to run them at 100% capacity 100% of the time to be even remotely close to being economically viable.

As you've already found out, making the game small is a massive help.

I've recently moved away from bigger games, and onto smaller projects. Let's say you make a mid-size game, it's still an indie project, but it's about a 4 gig download.

Now you're talking about a 10 to 20 minute download, plus getting it to run locally.

I've been having a lot of fun with Godot recently, it looks like it's much easier to make smaller projects with it versus Unity.
Ibuprofen is a true miracle drug. The team that discovered it routinely tested candidates on themselves. This wasn't uncommon in medicinal chemistry. My dad and his colleagues did it at Merck in the '70s. In one case, he and his lab partner took a candidate appetite suppressant (serotonergic) and went out for Chinese. They ate like kings and concluded it didn't work.

The only use case where AirBNB sort of makes sense is for poor young solo travelers (like backpackers) as an alternative to hostels. I can't understand why anyone would even consider it for a business trip or family vacation. What are those travelers thinking? Like I seriously don't understand why anyone would take that kind of risk instead of making a reservation with a real hotel. Caveat emptor.

At the time hotels were really expensive and not as available in many locations. AirBnBs could be closer to your final destination, cheaper, and have more personality than bland hotel rooms.

Now, AirBnB has soured and caused lots of problems while hotels are more comparable in price and more reliable.

Just my general opinions I don't really have any proof other than using the service and making the decision to switch back to hotels primarily.

AirBnB and similar is still a better choice for larger groups or vacations where you want something like an entire house: kitchen, multiple bedrooms, privacy, etc.
> very likely the extent of his involvement

I'm going to assume that you are not in a management position from this statement? It's virtually impossible, unless you have extremely high-functioning workers, to do this.

People need oversight so they don't go off the rails, management so others don't step in to distract them, leadership so they can be guided in the right direction, etc.

Even with awesome direct reports, I can't think of a time when I just handed someone an extremely complex project and left them alone and was presented with perfect success a few months later.

Management is a skill; don't disregard its importance.

>Browser already operates in “untrusted” mode.

My guy, there's a difference between legitimate confusion and this sort of aggressively refusing to get the point.

Clearly I'm not referring to sandboxing or app privileges, I'm referring to how your browser assumes any site that's able to send it some Javascript should automatically expect that Javascript to run, or WebGL, or WebAssembly, or whatever monstrosity.

Fundamentally the web was built with the assumption that any resource loaded was an intentional act by a user, or by a process directly authorized by a user.

Over time, the internet has drifted to a one-protocol town, and that assumption by the designers of the protocol is breaking down as the protocol becomes everything to everyone. Trust boundaries and user controls are NOT evolving in time with the protocol capabilities, and worse, protocol development has largely become a fox guarding the henhouse as the main browser developers ultimately responsible for defining the de facto protocol suite, Google and Microsoft, each vie for advertiser dollars and market ubiquity by transforming web browsers into operating systems.

> looking at it the other way, the population is down 98% instead of 99.9%. It's really not that substantial of an error

An estimate that can easily confuse 2k with 250k is not an estimate to use. Now if a range was specified taking into account the variability, like 100k-2k, that would be much better. If the study did this, the article would be at fault for not being accurate.

I don't think I know everything, I simply commented on a niche forum about something I was curious. The vitriol is completely unwarranted.

> It's a terrible situation for the species the outcome is largely the same - extinction within our lifetime - and you are quibbling about petty data concerns within the broader context.

So what? Should I take all data on blind faith? Should I not question the validity of data when bullshit is so rampant? Stop the strawman, I never said I disagreed with the conclusion of the study, just that the single estimate was suspicious.

Next time, if you actually know anything, aim to explain instead of attacking me. I can admit my mistakes and will be much more receptive.
This could turn into a standard across deployment platforms / companies. We'd need to abstract Vercel out (e.g. different folder names) and get feedback from others, but I would be open to it.
