>> "Both our sample sizes are very small, so we probably can’t draw any definitive conclusions either way. I was highlighting that ostracism seemed to me to become more common, and if this is true, it would point to either a rise in the existence of terrible irredeemable people, or a socially lowered threshold for abandoning conversation for demonization."

Third option: those people were always there, but more people are realizing they can set and enforce boundaries. You no longer have to just ignore the relative who sexually harasses children, or the relative who's sliding deeper into conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric that leads to material harm to them and people they care about.

Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away. If you can't convince people around you to support doing something, parting ways is increasingly a socially acceptable option. Most people can't summon up a #MeToo to deal with their problems, and negative peace[0] has been the order of business for so long most people don't even realize it, so cutting people off is often the only option other than status quo.

It seems like your concern is that this movement is lopsided in favor of people giving up on solving these problems rather than sticking with someone who is reachable. That hasn't been my observation, and like I said upthread, I haven't found the evidence in favor of this view persuasive. Most excommunications I witness (or have participated in) followed a long, sometimes lifetime, campaign of patience and persistence. Often a mental health crisis brought on by not forcing the boundaries precedes the no contact situation.

That scene is pretty good.

Saving Private Ryan has top-notch action and production values (yes, I know about the inaccuracies, that the Tiger tank isn't a Tiger, etc. Still top notch).

The problem with Saving Private Ryan is that it looks and plays as American propaganda. American flags waving bookend the movie, there are famous quotes by American politicians, Tom Hank's larger than life "earn this" quote, rah rah rah. That's what makes it "too Hollywood", not that the action is bad. The action is good!

Replace all the text "above the fold" (readable without scrolling) with benefit not features. In other words, why I should keep reading, not how you do it.

That first text has one job: convince the person who clicked on the link to learn more (or, if they aren't a prospect, send them away so they don't waste your, and their, time). It's an elevator pitch, though not to an investor but to a customer.

So: Make it easy to send mail from inside your app.
Or: Mail should be an easy part of your marketing. Plunk makes it easy.

I'm not even sure what behavioural email is so either I'm not part of your target market or you're accidentally sending me away.

Also, I like the indy hacker solopreneur part, even though my currrent startup is neither. That's why I clicked. But are you using those terms to pull in people who are discouraged by how clumsy the incumbents are (that would be me)? Or are you accidentally excluding people who could use this too (when apple launched the "airport" wifi access point around 2000 it was designed as a consumer product, but lots of people bought them and stuck them in the drop ceiling to get work done by getting around IT). There's no good answer to this, and perhaps the right thing is to start where you are and expand (like, say, Dropbox did). The reason other mail sending things are so hard to use is because big companies want lots of knobs to twiddle, and one of your benefits is not having those knobs. You don't want customers who want extra control knobs.

Is this for the back end or for mobile?
Irrespective of this coding mistake, the bigger mistake is shipping Arc a year too late.

In the midst of the pandemic, with the GPU (and chip) shortage on one hand and Intel releasing a decent card with good enough driver reasonably priced would have really given them a great window of opportunity to catch Nvidia and AMD in the GPU blind spot.

It's been so confusing a GPU story to follow that it shows that there has been a lot of confusion and poor planning plus prioritisation in shipping this discrete GPU from Intel, ironically a story not different from their other product and probably indicates a systemic failure. The next year or so should tell us if Pat G can really turnaround Intel or not, most likely not.

- Modern PDFs - if you wanna extract text and images, then the PDFSegmenter used in my example will work. If tables too, might need some additional jiggery-pokery, but definitely doable. I know other ppl using the same framework (Jina) who've accomplished it.

- Exact word search - pretty simple. I've focused on more advanced stuff because color vs colour is same same but different. Also just because it's pretty easy since I'm just using pre-defined building blocks, not manually integrating stuff

- Cross platform frontend - I've seen a lyrics search frontend [0] and I've built stuff in Streamlit before. Jina offers RESTful/gRPC/WebSockets gateways so it can't be too tough

- Lightweight? I mean how lightweight do you want it? C? Bash? Assembly? I've found Python good for text parsing

- Long-term: The notebook I wrote has a few (each of which have their own), but compared to others they're relatively lightweight.

- Gluing code: I've been using pre-existing building blocks, and writing new Executors (i.e. building blocks) is relatively straightforward, and then scaling them up with shards, replicas, etc is just a parameter away.

I'm more into the search side then the PDF stuff. The PDF side I've had experience with through bitter suffering and torment. Not a fun format to work with (unless you're into sado-masochism)

Hehe, story time: I was using exactly this logic to detect hibernation/sleep, especially for laptops. I was surprised when it never triggered, and printed the time, which indeed showed that a long time had passed. So why didn't it trigger? Because IFF both time stamps have monotonic component (internal, not visible on print) then the monotonic stamp is used. Confused me a lot.

It is a hard disease to study for sure. The hardest part of it is that there's no effective test for it, you just have to check for a somewhat vague constellation of symptoms over a person's entire lifespan.

I think a big part of the obsession with the amyloid plaques hypothesis is that it was the only issue that was consistent among patients that they could actually test for, so rather than continuing the harder work of searching in the dark for something better, researchers latched onto exploring how and why that was associated with Alzheimer's.

And it makes sense in a way, there's obviously something going on and figuring out why the plaques are produced should provide some mechanistic insight into what's going on. And that's true, in the same way that capturing all of the EM emissions from a laptop will provide some insight into what's going on inside the laptop, but that information will likely only be useful if you already have a good mechanistic model of a laptop's inner workings (people have successfully read data across an air gap this way). I suspect that's what will happen with amyloid plaques as well, ie. plaques will only make sense retrospectively.

> Casablanca is widely remembered as one of the greatest films of all time, coming in at #2 on the AFI’s top 100 list and similarly regarded by many other critics. You can quibble with its exact rank, but it’s at least undeniable how iconic Casablanca remains. Even now, more than 70 years after its 1942 release, few movies have ever produced as many enduring quotes.

The link to the AFI top 100 appears to have moved here:

The top movie is Citizen Kane, released one year prior to Casablanca (1941). The most recent movie on the list, released in 1994, was Fargo.

Related tidbit about London's black cabs:

> London taxis must have a turning circle not greater than 8.535 m (28 ft). One reason for this is the configuration of the famed Savoy Hotel: the hotel entrance's small roundabout meant that vehicles needed the small turning circle in order to navigate it. That requirement became the legally required turning circles for all London cabs, while the custom of a passenger's sitting on the right, behind the driver, provided a reason for the right-hand traffic in Savoy Court, allowing hotel patrons to board and alight from the driver's side.

At first glance, I don't think you can really discuss the bad (or good) effects the sanctions are having on "our" economy and really distinguish them from the effects of the war, and of other countries' sanctions that than "our", and of second-order effects via the effects of the above on other countries' economies that lead to good or bad effects on "our".

It's too mixed to separate, at least without hindsight. So you're expecting something impossible.

> There are studies suggesting SSRIs work better than placebo- but only slightly.

> but only slightly

I can't imagine telling someone, who's at the lowest part of their life, that they shouldn't take a medication because it will help "only slightly", especially if one is simplifying depression, and not considering context, which can result in different efficacy [1].

There are also studies that suggest that the most at risk, for certain types of depression, aren't appropriately represented in the studies [2].

> Real help involves significant attention, resources and social support, which is expensive.

I will stand by my perspective that simplifying depression is harmful, as you experienced. For some, chemicals are the best, even sometimes temporary, solution, especially when there are studies suggesting that genes play a role in some forms of depression [3], which social support probably doesn't influence.

I think it would be worth putting more value into the expert opinions, rather than simplifications/anecdotes/speculation.

I think this is the argument NTP makes for not including the offset. TAI can be just another "timezone", so that TZDATA should be to used it to derive it.

But that's backwards. A Stratum 1 NTP usually gets its data from GPS, which HAS the offset (GPS runs TAI). But it only outputs UTC, but not the offset, making other programs compute it from TZDATA. Why is NTP making user programs harder to get the data that IT ALREADY HAS? Because philosophically, NTP is married to UTC (even though NTP is mostly for computers!)

And providing this offset would basically get rid of a large body of people (like the TFA) who wants to CHANGE the definition of UTC, which is a more drastic proposal.
