What's there to debunk? It's the name that a bunch of rich goobers gave to their rich goober conference. The content of the video itself is incredibly bland: it is, in effect, "more of the same but also some environmental justice, so that they don't hang us for burning the world."

The worst thing about all of this is whichever poor soul had to put this video together.
I've found that M247 IPs are the most problematic, every single one of their IPs seems to be blocked by Imgur for example

Thankfully Mullvads client lets you filter servers by provider so it's easy to take M247 out of rotation

This doesn't sound like a better or smoother transition for laid off employees, just a cheaper version of your consulting firm of choice.
Reminds me of this game, Entanglement, that I used to play a bunch ~10 years ago. It showed up as a "Chrome App" (when that used to be a thing back then, lol, Google killed those off). Interesting scoring system.

Thank you for the insight into Russian thinking. What are your thoughts in terms of how the war started?
Yea, 10% doesn't scream disaster to me. A couple % from low performers across the company, a couple % from underperforming parts of the org, a couple % from reducing long-term/optimistic investments, and Shopify can drop 10% and keep growing.

The layoff-consultant folks often say you can drop a third of a company and not see a major difference in performance. If Shopify were struggling, they might have seen if the consultants were right.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. People tend to like the fact that all shapes and UI controls were clearly defined and very easy to tell apart from one another, plus there is a giant nostalgia factor in play. See e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/windows98/comments/ktz5v3/just_made... for an example of this behavior.
I'm not sure if you are joking / being sarcastic or genuine, but I do Voice Dialogue, which is in fact talking to your voices, for a living and it is a big deal. This post is a beautiful, personal account of dialoging internally using writing. Post does not provide _content_ of any of such dialogues of the author, which, in my opinion, is elegant, yet it is written in such a way, that may be encouraging to some. YMMV.

These guys wanted a picture of my passport to keep an ad account open. This KYC requirement was foisted upon me after having been placing ads (for the same domain) for ten years. I told them to go scratch. So now I have to use DMPs.
That seems more a symptom of cognitive distortions which would plague you whether or not you journal. Your self-perceived exceptionalism is not a determining factor for whether you are filled with ideas, drive and confidence - and most people like you just fine.

On the other side of the coin, you can't navel-gaze all day long. Action at some point is necessary. There's certainly value in deliberately calibrating them and choosing them through introspection, because we are creatures of habit - habits can work for us or against us.

I used to think action is the only hard part, but I'd suggest that making sense of our desires and making a choice is just as difficult.

How?

That doesn't seem to work in any industry that is close to being a utility. Just look at toll roads.
This is almost my exact experience trying to run ads on Facebook. I created a Facebook ad campaign that was immediately suspended. The reason was I selected ads to be shown on Instagram, but the Facebook entity I was advertising from didn't have a Instagram account.

Okay, problem with their tool in my opinion. It shouldn't let you select running ads on Instagram if you don't have an Instagram account... But anyway I get the account unlocked via customer service and try to edit the ad to remove Instagram integration.

Account immediately locked again. Contact customer support again and they can't tell me why it's locked but they're able to unlock it for me.

This time I delete the old ad campaign and try to start a new one. Account immediately locked again. Third time I contact customer service and they won't tell me why the account was locked.

Since it's the third time, my account is permanently locked out and I'm no longer allowed to run ads on Facebook.

Afaik I did nothing wrong and didn't break any of their rules.
Yes, I definitely think that would be possible. Mullvad clearly lays out what information is stored and for how long depending on the payment method you use[1] and there are clearly trade-offs. If you want the most "anonymous" account possible it's going to take a few days while you wait for an envelope of cash to get to them. For other users it might not be a big deal to use a faster payment method. The important thing is disclosure so users can make their own assessments about their personal risks/rewards.

Same happened to me some days ago. I set up a Google Ads account to test advertising for a small Angular course I am giving. A face-to-face traditional course, not an online one. I created a small website for my small company with some course pages.
Account was flagged for phishing, still waiting for the appeal to go through.
I think the mayor is correct.

GDPR is EU law. And unless some super lawyer shows up from Helsingørs kommune or more likely from Google then this goes not only for Denmark but the rest of the EU as well.

Normally a seller of a piece of software to an institution would provide the documentation, if nedeed, that the piece of software follows GDPR.

Now with Google, Helsingør likely gets the software for free. And Google takes the data and use it for targeting advertisement and maybe other things.

Personally I think the school system in Denmark should only use suppliers with a straight-forward pay and use business model.

Much in the same way I don't think our children's text books should contain advertisement or be sponsored by business or political interests.
Let me get this straight:

- India and China are 'fuelling Putin's war machine' by buying Russian oil

- But Europe is being victimised by Putin, because he won't sell them enough Russian gas

Is this correct?

This is correct. The IRS has a list at its web site[0] of all the charities where you can get a tax deduction for making a donation -- except churches, which they do not list. Church charities are given much less scrutiny before allowing deductions.

The law also makes it extra hard for the IRS to audit the qualifications of churches to be treated as exempt charities for tax purposes.[1]

Just go against Google’s warning by creating new accounts hoping they don’t “get caught”?
The problem with Google definitely seems like a lack of accountability...

Hmmm, yes. The Core-X seem helpfully lacking in undesirable features, but the standard range is certainly heavily encumbered. If I can get a half descent RISC-V chip and motherboard, that might be the go...
You have to be liked and effective, or at least appear effective.

> How can a company of Google’s size operate without customer support?

It's one of those calculations like the insurance in Flight Club. If their expected profit from you is X, and the support cost is Y, and lost opportunity cost from you posting a bad review is Z, and X<Y+Z then it's better to piss you off rather than solve your issues.
There is also a file format called DICOS which is based off of DICOM which is used by the TSA and various inspection systems:

If you've gone through security at a U.S. airport, the scanners use DICOS format to save scans of your baggage. Someone correct me if I am wrong though - it's possible only a subset of these machines use DICOS, I am not 100% sure.
Canadians have a lot to be proud of: Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke (2018)
This is totally unaligned with my experience.

Yes, the wealthy can afford to find ways to cheat on everything. But all segments of society are dodging taxes.

As a middle-class salaried employee, your income is taxed down to the last decimal place. But if you work in the trades, or anything else where many transactions are handled in cash, then tax evasion is _rampant_. And you know who is usually party to that? The tradespeople AND the relatively wealthier folks giving them envelopes of cash in exchange for a "discount" because the transaction isn't reported.

Will those stop? Probably not. But at least in larger sums it should make people afraid of dodging their tax burden.
It is great that engineers can choose between multiple services, but advertisers have far fewer options. Getting banned from Google means you lose Google search, Youtube, almost all of the display ads on the open web and most of the ad slots on android apps.

It is devastating and there is nothing you can do about it.
Apart from the abstract conviction that we should not indict the cultural output of a country that is under the thrall of an oligarch, I'm a bit baffled at the notion of decrying Tolstoy of people -- a Christian anarchist who radically challenged all of the assumptions of Tsarist Russia. Basically all of the great Russian writers lived in opposition to the various incarnations of the Russian State (Tsarist Russia, USSR).

EDIT: It's clear that this is a sentiment that is coming from the emotional pressures of war. I don't blame some Ukrainians for feeling the way that they do, though I find the argument dubious and disagree with it.
So many times I see this kind of comments were people totally ignore the complexities that comes with large scale projects, huge complex legacy codebases that need to be maintained. What they see is a simple website that can be build by 5 people startup team in a day.

Yeah, but probably with lower total comp.
This article uses a lot of words but misses an important point which is that Epstein was likely a master of blackmail.

For instance there is the strange story of Leslie Wexler who seemed to let Epstein run his whole life. I can only imagine that Wexler was willingly part of the festivities that Epstein put on and was later blackmailed or was possibly set up unknowingly. Either way as the head of a woman's clothing company Wexler had a lot to lose.

Wexler wasn't the only one, and if Epstein ever needed conspirators that is how he got them.

Since it appears that everyone is sharing their experiences.

I have been journaling daily for close to 20 years, with the exception of a few breaks and skipping journaling in really busy days.

From my personal anecdotal perspective I feel that overall it's a positive experience. I've tried multiple mediums, Evernote, Workflowy, Pen & Paper, Google Docs, and countless of journaling apps. I find pen and paper the best, probably because I can parse my thoughts better when I write them down over typing them. Even though typing is much faster. There is something magical about making a moment for yourself with a fresh cup of coffee, some music, a pen and a journal.

I've also experimented with the type of content I want to journal. It feels like the standard is to write about your day. I find that the least fun way to journal. Albeit at times my personal day to day life bleeds into my journaling, I prefer writing about my thoughts, what I'm struggling with, debating to do, what I'm trying to improve.

Essentially for me, journaling serves as part self-therapy, part life strategy writing, part goal planning and blocker removal strategies. I can analyze my actions and their side-effects. Do it long enough and you start seeing patterns in your way of thinking, or you will catch yourself writing about the same thing yet again. I strongly suggest you don't just write when you journal, create flowcharts, make bullet lists, underline things that you think are important. It's a very undervalued thinking tool.

Usually when I talk to friends about journaling the common deflection is "I don't have that kind of time". Here is the thing, it's ok to write just one paragraph. Sometimes even a single sentence. I have journal entries that just say something like "I have nothing to talk about". The thing is you are building a habit. Most of my journal entries are about 2-3 paragraphs, about 10 minutes of writing. Occasionally if I feel overwhelmed, or troubled by something I might write for an hour. Other times I might write a short journal entry and 12 hours later make an update with new thoughts.

I hope this helps someone thinking about journaling.

To echo the linked article, what's interesting is reading past entries and realizing how you are often wrong, but tenacious, stubborn, a dreamer, someone that doesn't give up...because you are still doing it...you are still here, fighting.

Trump is interesting as an example of someone who is wiling to wield shamelessness in a way that others are not. He is much more shameless than almost anyone else in politics.

But the thing is, it is high risk, and this is why others are unwilling to be as shameless. You risk being a social Pariah. The one thing that seems to have eluded Trump his whole life is genuine acceptance. Even the Republican party now, it really feels like people see him as a tool more than a person. He will go down in history, but for Trumpism, not for being Trump. He'll never been see as being loved for his person the way someone like Reagan might (to a degree, I don't know that presidents can ever be truly seen as a person more than as a movement).

For the efficiency part. To be fair, traditional finance as an industry operates as a super inefficient, regulatory-captured pyramid scheme. Shouldn’t be too hard to beat.
I find that very naive. Moderating online communities is famously difficult and unavoidably expensive. This is well documented going back to MUDs on dialup BBS systems.
It is my understanding that the goal is to expand the network to include WiFi and cellular devices, in addition to LoRaWAN devices.
Would you say it's better or worse than Grammarly? Are you talking about the free version or the premium version?
Yeah, I think this is correct. I've been in a position where the company that hired me couldn't keep paying me and we decided to part ways a few months short of a year. The founder offered me the amount of options that would have vested had there been no cliff.

Russia is cutting nothing.
Sanctions on products needed to keep the gas flowing were stopped by Canada.
This created a force majeure situation for the pipeline.
So unless Canada and the EU allows the parts to be exempt from sanctions, the pipeline will stop.
This means that the EU has weaponized gas against their own constituents. I hope an angry populace learns to burn the EU to the ground and rebuild a new government for the people, by the people based on a republic model.
Anyone know of a garbage collector specialised to immutable objects?

No old objects containing pointers to new objects and no mutation while scanning hazards.
IMO this is an aspect of the shift to EV's that I don't hear all that many people talking about- is the gov giving enough resources/training to local emergency services providers to deal with these sorts of fires and the disposal of the EV materials after a fire. Totally surmountable, but I feel like I don't hear the federal gov talk about it much and instead the focus is on more chargers and tax credits to eliminate range anxiety and drive the cost down for consumers
Helium isn't your typical crypto company. Their vision is actually very lofty - build a distributed low data wireless network completely independent of phone providers and cable companies.

And pay the people who own nodes a percentage of the $ earned thru the traffic flow of their node.

The payment just uses crypto because the ecosystem is a nice fit. Everybody knows what miners are and that they make money.

The problem is that you need the entire network in place before people can build on it. So they have been subsidizing the miners. And it's a race of how much money can you raise and payout vs how much is a network like that is worth.

And right now everybody has cellular and cable and fiber and no one really needs another system. Most of the use cases (LOTS of sensor data) aren't really worth that much money.

Personally, I think the government should subsidize something like this to allow it to get off the ground. Earthquake data, climate data, traffic data, etc. Essentially public use.
That's hilarious /s

I don't know whether this is unintentional or acquired ignorance on your part, but: there's two different things here. There's a bunch of obnoxious neoliberalism, which I am more than happy to criticize, and then there's a neoreactionary conspiracy theory that's basically a rehashed "FEMA death camps" but with COVID and the WEF as the objects of focus.

Nobody is going to make you eat bugs or live in a pod. If someone tries to, you can do what humans have always done when they're placed in an unlivable situation. It's embarrassing that this even has to be said.

Smokeless for semi automatic is strangely specific. This is not what people will make if you somehow restrict ammo casings (which you can make, and the head is simpler), so I am not sure why those requirements equate to being effective. When talking about technical barriers, it is considered obvious as to how they can and will be circumvented. Ammo is the same, but somehow you have made the leap that dropping standards will be a deterrent. This is ridiculous.
Unlike other products, self hosting only gives you the same as their basic version. So even keeping it up to date will never match their premium offering. This is of course fine, just making people aware before they spend time setting it up because they don't make this very clear (I had to find a Github issue to get this conformation in writing)

The free self-hosted version you can download from https://languagetool.org/download/ lacks all the premium rules (several thousand rules for English, German, French, Spanish and Dutch) and AI-based rules.[1]

Truly. Really though, the biggest difference is just matter of scale. The US has 10x the amount of people that Canada does. Nunavut has 40,000 residents, Alaska has 736,000.

I'm Canadian and know some people who've spent time in Nunavut and life there seemed cold, lonely, dark, and expensive. My understanding is that once you're in Iqaluit, you aren't even able to drive to any other towns, they're generally not connected by real roads, nor would you be able to bring enough gas. Life in Alaska, especially near the cities, seems much more like the rest of rural Canada by comparison.
