The bar also got a lot lower than back then.

You jump over the gaps in the tiles on the road? You must have OCD. You broke up with your bf/gf.. you must have depression. You're happy a bit? Bipolar disorder. You're a guy and play with a barbie... trans. Less horny, asexual. And let's not forget a bunch of adhd/autism and other disorders, when a kid gets bored in school.

On the other hand, we have professionals (doctors, etc.) reinforcing this, by (eg.) giving pills to kids who can't sit still for 8 hours in school without any physical excercise during that time, and parents give their kids pills,because it's easier than actually parenting that kid.
Very evidently exposing children to toxicity like 4chan/racist gaming chatrooms is harmful to development, why would it be any different when letting them watch anything on their phones

Normalize keeping children away from the obscene and stop letting grown adults normalize exposing weird shit to children, should be obvious innit
Normal people don't engage in financial crime when the alternative is easier, faster, and cheaper. The outcome would be that people who are already trafficking would add new financial crimes to their charges.

Medical diagnosis are man made labels created by committee. If I say having blond hair is a medical condition then I can absolutely do a falsifiable test of whether you have blond hair.

So the issue isn't so much falsifiability per see but instead the whether you trust the judgement of people who decide what is "normal" or "not normal".

Google search and TikTok differ on important dimensions. Google search makes you input the search criteria. TikTok learns what draws your attention and feeds you more of that information without you explicitly asking for it. On TikTok, all you have to do is flick up to see the next video, which for some, is going to feed them more information about mental illness if the algorithm says it will keep them engaged. Google search forces people to be more intentional about the terms they search for and the search results they view.
"Net-zero" seems like a major setback, just as it was when the term "global warming" that people understood got replaced with "climate change" which is much muddier.

If the goal is "stop burning fossil fuels" there is a large precedent of non-fossil power sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectic, nuclear, etc. Real progress is happening on electric cars. One thing that all of these have in common is that they produce a wanted product: they might be expensive or they might be intermittently available but you spend money to get something you want.

"Net-zero" includes the use of systems that capture carbon directly out of the air, either all mechanical or with plants part of the system. These systems basically don't exist. I mean, there are a handful of prototype systems but there is no trend to scaling them up. The most common form of CO2 "disposal" is to inject it into an old oil well to get more oil. A large carbon capture (from the output of a power plant) system in Texas was recently shut down because they shut down the oil field.

All of those systems need somebody to spend money for a product they don't want to meet an externally imposed requirement. It's going to be very hard to put a system in place to move the money around because of the perception (and reality) that anything that concentrates money in one place is going to be a nexus of corruption.
Can you describe how regulation solves this problem, how exactly are you proposing for this regulation to work?
Interesting - With how cheap hardware is getting, would there be some potential use case for backcountry hiking/biking/adventuring with a few of these, and leaving them as breadcrumbs/mesh repeaters?

It would allow a cheaper emergency connection to society than satphones, and could potentially allow for some waypoint following with modern gps trail navigating phone apps.

Curious if anyone has experience with Meshtastic and/or outdoor adventuring and could weigh in.
It appears to be different this time. No, really.

Recessions in general see GDP down and unemployment up. Right now GDP is down but employment is also down. This could potentially prevent or limit the impact of the recessionary cycle where layoffs reduce demand which brings down profits and GDP. Additionally, corporate profits and cash reserves are high while low labor force participation and problems hiring are making layoffs undesirable. While consumer confidence is down economic demand remains high at least for now. All this shows the current economic situation to be extremely unusual and quite apart from previous recessions whether it gets labeled as such or not.
What money? There's no way to get a raise at my company without a promotion and they won't promote me. I have no motivation to work hard if it won't be rewarded. I do the minimum to get paid my shitty salary.
As an example of “bad influences” being an ancient topic, in the 1st century CE, the orator and educator Quintilian gave advice to parents in the Roman Empire wondering whether public schools would be a bad influence on their kids.

Although Quintilian agreed that public schools can be a bad influence, he argued that parents were the worst influence on their own kids.

“If only we did not ourselves damage our children’s characters! We ruin their infancy by spoiling them from the start. That soft upbringing which we call indulgence destroys the sinews of mind and body. If a toddler crawls around in purple, what will he not want when he grows up? […] No wonder [why children have bad character]: it was we who taught them, they heard it all from us. They see our mistresses, our male lovers; every dinner party echoes with obscene songs; things are to be seen which it is shameful to name. […] The wretched children learn these things before they know they are wrong. This is what makes them dissolute and spineless: they do not get these vices from the schools, they import them [vices] into them [the schools].”

> It's a tough one, because with access to so much information, I feel like there are a lot of interesting things to see and learn which could impact my thinking and the stuff I do a great deal, but at the same time, all of that stuff and content seems to have crept into every spare moment of time, I am not sure how much I know how to genuinely think deeply about things for myself anymore.

This resonates with me, not from an originality standpoint only, but from just a contentment standpoint as well. While there is this great potential for me to see interesting things or learn something new, I find my appreciation for a lot of things has also gone way down. Nothing seems to be special anymore. Even if I do find something cool, my appreciation for it is non-existent because "there could be something else."
My `cfg` script, which is bash script that wraps around GNU Stow and lets me

`cfg pull` - pull latest git repo and apply via `stow`

`cfg push` - push local config changes to git server

`cfg apply` - apply local changes with `stow`

There are a few other commands too but I don't use them often. This simple script + repo lets me manage my dotfiles across ~7 machines
Tax returns should be public. Like in Norway. That would sort out all kinds of "payment gap" issues as well.
Children literally don't have the developed cognitive capabilities to critically think, nor should they be making their own decisions every time. This is an absolutely inane suggestion.

I don't know when it started happening, but why do we continue to let these companies off the hook for their absolutely terrible externalities? Banning these topics if your platform allows children, preteens, etc is absolutely an effective solution if said companies refuse to rectify the problem.

Why should society bare the costs because a company wants to make money at the costs of a child's mental health? How is that just or even fair? Have we truly devolved into a new feudal age where no company can do wrong and we simply have to blame ourselves for their faults? These apps are designed to be psychologically addictive and fuel outrage/fear to drive advertising revenues... why is this acceptable? Why are we blaming parents and not the executives who signed off on these decisions?
I started reading Bukowski when I was around 13 or so. Many of the titles were available at the local library. I don’t think it was bad though. If anything, it was a cautionary tale of what substance abuse can lead too. And his poems were great.

>in Europe, employers don't have to pay for insurance

They do in some cases. In France and Austria (I think Germany
and others too), the gross salary you negociate to get is actually even higher for the employer as there is a tax the employer must pay on top of that to cover his side of the social contributions. I wish this would be more transparent.

What you said applies to places like Denmark, Switzerland, where the employer has to pay no extra taxes.
Its interesting how wrong they are when dealing with the daily lives of the lower class or people who don't have a big voice. There's no ROI in helping an elderly person maintain their dignity nor cancelling a couple of Native American accounts because their names don't seem correct to them.

What really bugs me is that the employees of the Google seem to have their own political agenda, but none of that includes the people the company is actually ill serving. I guess that's just not cool or edgy. Its the company they work for that has become a tyrant.
wow this is crazy. I had forgotten until now but, as a child, I remember looking at my watch and when the second hand finally ticked thinking "that was way longer than a second".

You can also attribute those to supply chain issues. Government fiscal policy can't be the scapegoat for issues affecting the entire world (not arguing they don't have influence).

> you wear one mask with one group, another with a different group. Wouldnt say multiple identities though

You're just establishing that for a given persona there is a spectrum from 'Mask' to 'Identity' and insisting that there is an arbitrary threshold.

For a moment, embrace a worldview that there is no singular, core Identity -- in fact all personas are masks to some degree. An Identity may be a mask you're particularly dedicated to wearing, but it's still a mask. The rest of these "systems" people's perspective follows from this point and emphasizes certain experiences -- that you may suppress -- over others that you may hold on a pedestal.
I agree, looks like it has some really nice features but I've never heard it mentioned.
People are going to be blaming TikTok, social media, or whatever else for this, but it's important to note that this is not a new phenomenon at all. Tuberculosis was fashionable during the Victorian era and shaped a lot of our modern beauty standards today[0]. Is social media really to blame, or is a desire to be different just a part of being human?

I have these problems with the Dell laptop running Windows 10 which I use for work, but not with my own desktop or laptop running Fedora. So, my experience is more or less the opposite apparently. This makes it harder for me to buy the theory that there's something uniquely inferior about these Linux desktops.
This is because women are under-diagnosed for most mental health disorders except for Bipolar and BPD, for which they are over-diagnosed. They build communities because their doctors aren’t helping them.
What I mean is that back then, you were on the same network as everyone else on your _block_, not just your household. You couldn't send packets just to your ISP's gateway, due to the nature of how the coax cable was wired, you're sending packets to everyone else connected to the same ISP node. (Ethernet as a protocol is designed to ignore unicast packets that are not addressed to your MAC address, which is why this works just fine.)

You couldn't connect a simple hub with multiple compuers to your cable modem back then either, IIRC because your MAC address had to be registered to their gateway, and it didn't really tolerate having multiple MAC addresses on the same cable modem. Which is why consumer routers started to get popular, because it allowed you to "share" your cable modem connection to multiple machines in the same home.

My experience is that the more politics and BS and organization has, the more you can coast. Individual performance can get lost in the noise.

Even in orgs that have their stuff together, I see a preference for internal transfer over termination. I think it's some sort of HR sunk cost fallacy.
This is how it starts. Before you know it, they are spamming their mailing list every day.
Google released BSD-licensed Drive integration a decade ago. The only reason there isn't a "Linux Drive client" in the sense that you implied is the complete lack of initiative among open source developers.

If you want a mature, maintained Drive integration on Linux you can have it right now with ChromeOS.

"The defendant lorry driver, was travelling on the M62 in a queue of slow moving traffic. He suffered a sneezing fit, losing control of his vehicle he knocked into the car in front. This car in turn knocked into the car in front causing a domino effect involving 7 cars. The Magistrates allowed the defence of automatism. The appeal court held that the Magistrates were right to do so and that an attack of sneezing could amount to an involuntary action for the purposes of the defence of non-insane automatism."

Very true, I picked this example as a thing that kids could theoretically be doing right now. You don't have to go very far back at all to get into the really heinous stuff.
There's a big complicating factor in what parents would have actually prevented as a bad influence too, children cheering on at lynchings were accompanied by everyone else in the town cheering at lynchings.
If there was a disconnect between parents tolerance of lynchings and child exposure to lynchings it didn't last very long.
I think routers should have more fine grained settings, so I can block social media during weekdays, HN on weekdays except lunchtime and evening, and allow my children only to access their 5 websites that they need for homework/study during a few hours in the afternoon. This would help me a lot.

Allowing teens to spread mental illness on social media was less profitable in the 00s. There was a low cost to shutting down pro-ana tumblr accounts.

It's not just Google, many corporations are starting to make "assumptions" about their customers, and these assumptions totally exclude entire groups of people.

A great example I use is there are a ton of restaurants and fast food places around me. I used to walk to get lunch every day but eventually had to stop, these places realized most customers went through the drive through so they closed the lobby. Now even though this place is a 5 minute walk from me, it's no longer accessable if I'm not in a car.

Same thing with my TV and Router, both of which required an app to just setup. The TV required an internet connection to "activate" and I realized that if some family saved up and bought this TV but didn't have an smartphone or internet connection, well they just bought a $500 brick.

And that's why authentication standards like FIDO scare me. To me it almost seems that the standard was written by a bunch of out of touch tech bros thinking to themselves: "Well of course EVERYONE has a phone these days"
AWS has put work into fast-starting containers [1] using tricks like lazy loading container storage, profiling container startup, non-lazily priming critical blocks, and caching shared blocks.

Notably the Asahi project got M2 laptops up to parity with the M1 family in ~48 hours of dev work. No doubt this won't always be the case (there's bound to be major hardware revisions at some point) but at the moment this is quite promising looking towards the future.
On the other hand, spammers... I mean advertisers use many many dark practices to get users to subscribe to their spam.. i mean, ad e-mails. Some even subrscribe you by default. Some give you 30+ different checkmarks to untick to get rid of the spam. So yeah... clicking "spam", makes it easier for the rest of the people who got scammed the same way.

Another thing TikTok does is provide a venue for sharing stories - "you're not alone" - and sharing coping mechanisms. Good things.

So far we found once a month to be our sweet spot. Majority of customers buy their monthly supply in one shopping session and this is a way to prompt some of them + reactivate old customers / staled customers and convert blog subscribers.

I think the next step is to segment our customer/subscriber base and send at various frequency. But it's also a "side-hustle" so it takes effort :)
> > because of some development in the future will make recycling of spend fuel rods feasible.

> Context: They are responding to a complaint that isn't explicit here. That complaint usually comes in the form of: "we have nowhere to put the waste" or "Yucca Mountain was canceled and we'll never have such a facility because of NIMBY." So the response is more "We can store on site and don't need deep geological depositories, here's others who have done it. But if you really want a geological depository, here's Onkalo." We can already do on sight, and this is already being done, so it makes sense to argue about this. If we want to do some smaller scale DGDs then we can do things substantially smaller than Yucca Mountain and have decades to build it.

So the argument is: because we haven't managed to actually find a long term storage we can make up numbers about recycling and lifetime of the waste?

And just dismissing the reasons as NIMBY is grossly over simplifying things, there are massive uncertainties about not just the storage, but also the logistics of the transport, the maintance etc..

> I think without this context, it comes off as extremely hand-wavy. I'll admit that there is some hand-wavyness, but without something in place all you can argue is "this problem isn't as hard as people think. We can do it, here's real world examples elsewhere." I'm not sure what other argument they are supposed to make.

Where are the real world examples? The only place that has now opened a long term storage facility is Finland who just opened it (and that supposedly was largely due to political pressure because the project had run so much over time and budget), we actually don't know if they can run it let alone for 1000s of years. The low energy storage facility in Germany is a mess already after a few 10s of years (in Asse 2 they stored the low intensity waste in meta drums inside a former salt mine. Water got in, not really a good combination).
It is definitly true for Oberon OS System 3.

The alternative is simply that it's ethical to not follow laws against someone who isn't following laws, in proportion at the very least. Direct self defense is the simplest example, this is another - both are placing illegal objects in the parking area...

> I'm looking for a reputable right-learning news source to help balance out what I'm exposed to and help me be better informed; something that is like a NYT equivalent for republicans.

I don't think you're going to be able to find a opposite-polarization doppelganger like that. My impression is that the right invests less in day-to-day news, and more in ideas and opinion.

The Wall Street Journal is the closest thing that I can think of to the right-leaning New York Times, but my understanding is their newsrooms are both very liberal: it's just that the Wall Street Journal is more professional so it doesn't show as much. I'm not sure if it would get around the selection biases of left-wing media [1]. It's opinion pages mainly reflect the business faction of right, so it's not a complete picture.

[1] E.g. with all the recent news about abortion, I recently learned that pro-life groups would regularly hold marches in Washington on the scale of the 2017 Women's March, but you'd never know about it given the relative press coverage.
