ME/CFS is known to impact 2 women to every 1 man and auto immune conditions tend to follow that pattern due to the differences between men and women when it comes to immune response. As to the social economic factors its probably an ability to isolate from catching the virus, "key workers" were forced to catch it whereas college graduates will have had the ability to work from home and avoid it, many still are and certainly after vaccinations unlike manual workers.
Right, I'm going to install a tracking device on my car and give the login password to the local police department. I'll just say "If I report my car stolen, please log in with this password and track it's whereabouts, and at your convenience go retrieve it and impound it until I can reclaim it". I'm sure they'll be glad to write all that down, and file it in a file cabinet marked "crazies".
FYI, temperature dysregulation can be a common sign of hormonal balance issues (thyroid, etc could be a factor), so if it's causing you a lot of trouble you should see if your doctor can check the levels of key hormones. IIRC testosterone and estrogen are two key ones that can be out of whack for various reasons and will cause temperature dysregulation. The test is pretty cheap and easy to do with a regular blood draw so it shouldn't be too hard to get it done if they haven't already checked it before.
One quick little thing that you might have missed from that interview is when Carmack said that he has never been predisposed to any kind of mood issues or depression or anything of that sort. So he already started this adventure of human life with better cards than most of us. It wasn't because of success that he was like this it was just because that's the way the dice rolled for him. So if you already have any sort of mental health problems that developed then don't try to emulate him 100% directly because you can't and you won't and you will just harm yourself.

Fides et ratio was written to address that problematic way of thinking (what you just expressed). Maybe give it a read.
It is important to understand the purpose and nature of life, and know the things that bring real peace, growth, & direction, and help us overcome all our regrets. We will all have some, but what we do about them is imporant (and some matter, and I guess some don't, really). We existed before this life and will continue to exist after, which (for me at least) takes pressure off significantly.

Learning and service to others can come in many forms, whether or not one is religious, and they can bring joy that lasts. More at my web site (in profile, a simple site; click 1/2-way down on "Things i want to say..." then "purpose in life...").
Sure. I'll try.

There are two senses to understand the word creator. I'll illustrate both by analogies to the way 'we' create as people:

(1) A violinist is creating the music that you are currently hearing. Here and now in the present.
(2) A painter created a painting in the 19th century, and you can see the artifact on the wall in a museum.

In the case of (1) the creator brings the song into being out of nothing. More or less, don't squabble over sound waves. :^). When the violinist stops playing, the music stops. Here and now in the present.

In the case of (2) the painter finished the work 'at some point in time' and we can have all sorts of interesting conversations about when exactly the artifact was created. Did the painter really paint it in the way some book said that he did? Does the painter maintain any connection to the painting after it's finished? etc.

You see, if the proper sense of the word creator is actually (1). Then all discussions about (2) are distractions.

So, it's important to remember that, for example, knowledgeable Christians refer to God as the creator in the sense of (1). There may or may not be some interesting discussions to be had about whether God is a creator in the sense of (2) but they are conversations about secondary causes, and very much irrelevant to God's existence and the role as the primary cause.
There are plenty of things we will never know and that there is no way of ever knowing. Here's some.

Given this 10k year old pot

https://factsanddetails.com/media/2/20120207-JomonPottery.JP...

What is the name of the person that created this pot, What day did they create it? Were they in a relationship at that time? Did they have children? How many siblings did they have?

There's no way to know. You can theorise time travel to find out or you can weasle into believing we'll somehow make machines in the future that can measure every facet of every atom related to the creation of the pot in such a way as to be able to trace their trajectories through time backward but both of those are grasping at straws, things that are unlikely to ever actually come to pass.

The reality is we'll never know the answers to those questions.

The same is true of how the universe began.

The best we can do is follow our theories of how the universe works backward and see where they lead and then try to create those initial conditions and see if we get the results we expect. It may be impossible to create those initial conditions though and even so, we'd be guessing at what those initial conditions actually were as we'd be assuming that running our calculations in reverse is true describe the actual initial conditions whereas they really only describe assumed initial conditions.

>If you had a contract with a vendor promising that you'll be their sole client ...

Where I am in Canada, I've had exclusivity required for an employment contract but only within the employer's niche and for pay well above industry norms.

The problem over here comes when the work is structured as a contractor/client arrangement.

If someone is set up as contractor, even with a registered company, they can be considered a de facto employee and have all the protections given to regular employees. Additionally the client, as the de facto employer can get in trouble for not making and remitting payroll deductions.

Even incorporating won't save you. There are several criteria but, if you're the sole employee of a corporation, you're considered a personal services business. It makes you ineligible for any corporate tax reductions, an additional 5% tax, and virtually no deductions are allowed outside of payroll expenses; even supplies and directors' action payments.

You and I probably follow this stuff more than the average person.
These days it's pretty much my job to. And yet I missed Carrier-IQ,
the Android vendor malware. Eventually read about it a year after the
first investigations. Also I almost missed the Apple CSAM debacle,
being busy with a couple of contracts. Total time from tentative leak,
through disclosure, expert-public outrage to Apple backing down was
about 8 weeks, please correct me if I am wrong?

This is Blotto front exhaustion and fatigue in action. It's in the
counter-terrorism literature. When you're under attack on many fronts,
and adversaries regularly create new ones, and attacks are frequent
but random, eventually some get through.

And I very much consider "big tech" to be adversaries in the civic
cyber-security game, because they can and will do whatever would make
them money, bending and breaking laws, covering up wrongdoing,
silencing critics and smearing whistleblowers. They've done so
reliably for years.

Perhaps at issue is what we think a "scandal" is.

Scandals used to be mainstream news events that caused widespread
public discontent, led to lengthy investigations. government reports,
companies being fined, shut down, careers being ruined, even
suicides and jail time....

Today the word has lost its currency. Data leaks were once scandalous
but we long passed the point when weekly and then daily major breaches
lost the interest of the media. By definition, news has to be
something new. Otherwise it's "Oh-Dearism". Again, company X
installing malware and spying on you is hardly raising
eyebrows. People are coming to expect it.

I'm not making a point of moral outrage, or even passing much by way
of judgement here. It's just what's happening. But the essential
"criminality" of big-tech (if only in spirit not letter) does have
profound implications for the future of digital technology, and we
should not ignore it. The possibility that the main players have been
silently compromising rented VMs for reasons other than mandated
law-enforcement should not be lightly dismissed.

I'm curious to know what you think the mechanism/psychology is at play
in the "people not caring", other than the fatigue factor I mentioned.
Meh, I don't know. I don't use Windows all that much, mostly just for gaming and the odd day at work, besides that, I use Linux. As for the macOS comparison, I don't agree. Windows is much, much more annoying than macOS. Be it 10 or 11.

However, I don't get the hate on Windows 11. It has all the same annoyances Windows 10 did (random apps installed, random CPU spikes for no reason, etc). Yet I find it works much better. It feels much snappier and boots much quicker, even though the PC I usually use it on isn't supposed to be supported (old ivy bridge CPU, no TPM). And no, it's not because it's a fresh install. It actually is an upgrade from the previous Win 10 install.

Not quite. Although I fully understand the feedback. There are 2 equally valid senses in which the word creator can be used. Both conform to standard definitions but each used in a different sense.

I tried to add clarity in the response above. Thanks!

"The best" is very subjective unfortunately. And the answer will change based on what you're looking for.

In his famous talk "A Universe from Nothing", Lawrence Krauss makes the same point, if slightly less definitively. ("We may never know", and that's okay - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImvlS8PLIo)

By analogy he describes how, due to the expansion of the universe, Milky Way residents 100 billion years from now will be unable to observe the cosmic background radiation or any galaxy but our own. Civilizations wil evolve, invent science, use the best tools possible, and incorrectly conclude that the universe consists of one single galaxy alone in a vast sea of empty space.

When we triply rewrite hard drives, we understand that information can be destroyed. Sometimes the universe does the samething. Sometimes information is irretrievably lost.
In full disclosure I haven’t read the article yet, I will do so after this comment. But reading, I just wanted to mention something that sprang to mind.

Gödels incompleteness theorem.

In that case, we know for sure that we will never find a list of complete and consistent axioms for all mathematics. We do not need omniscience for this, it’s something we know for sure we will never learn.

I think there are more examples, I remember one of my professors mentioning off the cuff he believes P vs NP will never be proven one way or another because it’s most likely one of those problems that simply don’t have a solution. Or, maybe the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is another example. We know for sure there are limitations on the knowledge we can have.

I don’t think it’s unfair to imply a limit to our knowledge. I’m not saying the universe’s beginning necessarily falls into this category, I honestly don’t know. But there are for sure classes of problems that by their very nature cannot be known, or cannot be known with certainty.
This is not true at all. Long covid, chronic fatigue, etc. are currently not understood, and have no known mechanisms or tests. There is nothing for doctors to identify as 'wrong' besides the subjective feeling of fatigue. This is not a matter of doctors making mistakes or not, this simply is beyond the limits of our current medical understanding. It definately sounds like the parent is suffering from long covid.
Insulation protects only so long till it heats up. Then it keeps the heat inside.
Perhaps an economist can enlighten me: consider two scenarios, one where an owner keeps 90% of the revenue and pays 10% as wages, and a second where they keep 10% of revenue and pay 90%. Under what conditions is it more advantageous (to society as a whole) for one or the other scenario to be true?
Heat wave. The water used for cooling the plant is usually released into nearby rivers which due to the current heat waves are too hot already; to avoid the rivers boiling & dying the power plants can't release any more water. No cooling possible, and the plants have to put in standby.

At least that's my understanding of the situation.
I read this somewhere else so it would be nice someone can quote the origin, but think of it this way - you were dead for billions of years before you were born, you weren't anxious then. once you are dead you won't feel the anxiety again, so why bother worrying about it now when there are a whole lot of other things you can do.

Worth mentioning Vita is pretty finnicky. SD card adapters use the game card slot not the memory card slot and and so aren't the simpliest to configure and get going. Official cards that use the memory card slot are capped at 64GB and 64GB cards were only sold in Asia and have only gotten even more stupid expensive over time.

It very much depends what we agree monopoly means. Did Microsoft Windows have a monopoly on consumer desktop operating systems? Arguably Apple only survived because Microsoft bailed them out in 1997 to avoid being accused of having a monopoly. Does Google have a monopoly on search?

Tech naturally tends towards monopolies because almost everyone benefits from using the same tech as everyone else they know. The same messaging system, the same operating system running the same applications that use the same file formats.

As for crony capitalism as a source of monopolies, sure of course that can happen, but if we look away from capitalism basically the only other alternative anyone has come up with is pure unadulterated cronyism. Communism, socialism, they all end up being pure cronyist monopoly systems. At least with capitalism you have an outside chance of getting away from that.
