No. The Christian churches of various denominations have "marriage classes" where they teach how a woman must be an obedient servant to the man and never ever think of leaving him, for example - any abuse must be a fault of the woman, they said. Also, you could read up on the rejection of contraconception - of course, a woman must give him a child whenever God pleases, right?

They also teach that it's best to beat up children if they don't listen to "commands", they call it "training" as if it was a dog and not a little powerless human. There are entire books on the subject sold right in the churches (pretty expensive too - but God recommends it so what can you do).

We could also talk about transphobia and homophobia, about the "reeducation" camps, about the torture they make these people go through - mentally as well as physically.

And they make old sick poor people donate the few coins they saved up - in a damn building with more gold on it than the local bank has in its treasury. Wtf.

Don't get me started on how they encourage parents and other family members to disown and discommunicate the members of their families who break these """principles""". Several of my friends eventually bowed down to this pressure even though they fucking hate every single thing about it.

The saddest thing I ever encountered was a nice young woman who was raised (indoctrinated and groomed) in this hell and believed it was all right - and tried to get me to behave this way, took me to the fucking marriage classes. They had to call the police on me, I nearly burned that place down. I'm getting so angry I'm shaking just by remembering the terrible shit they said there.

Of course now there's also the whole thing about abortions in Poland, some US states etc - women are dying senselessly because of this - or being sent to prison. Every month I make a point of donating to the nonprofits that are trafficking women hidden in fucking windowless vans as if they were criminals running away to my state for abortions - and then they can't ever return home in many cases, because now they make doctors register pregnant women in a damn central database.

This is literally Nazi-esque shit, sponsored and encouraged by the damn churches. There already were border police chases, and it's only a question of time when somebody crashes and dies - or they start shooting. The "funny" thing is, our local police protects these vans - I wouldn't be surprised if there was a major diplomatic incident (as in cops shooting at each other) soon.

It's all horrible. Excuse me, I need to go throw up.

(yeah sure I know, this is not the true Christianity, right?)

> If you ignore an oil warning light on your car for too long, eventually the engine breaks.

The comparison falls flat though when you consider that you can pay money and get the car fixed and still have the car in the end.

The complaint is not "fix my self-inflicted problems for free for me", it is that there is no way to get anything fixed even if one is willing to pay and acknowledge it's one's own fault.
Good points.

This is essentially compression of knowledge at play. To make the next discovery it makes sense to get compressed information about the previous discoveries.

Historians are often more interested in the various routes attempted to achieve scientific discovery -- which failed, which succeeded etc. Scientists are interested in climbing to the next peak (of knowledge) with just sufficient knowledge of how we came to the current location.

It always helps to know a bit of history. You might encounter problems while climbing to the next peak and knowing a bit of history might give you some additional tools to solve problems you may encounter.

However, you must be judicious. Learn too much about the past and you won't have much time to create the future. Also if you learn too little about the past you may not be well equipped to deal with upcoming challenges. It is a balance.

Completely different experience for me. The desktop app is solid (although latest patches made it unstable + the visual change is just not good), but the collaboration tools are horrible to use.

I agree it would be great for users to be able to mix and match EDA tools, but EDA tool vendors seem to disagree, and consider the state of poor interoperability among EDA tools as a nice barrier to entry. As far as I can tell open source tools work on bitstream generation because it is unnecessarily painful to interoperate with proprietary tools.
Most of the energy goes into building these models. Applying the model takes orders of magnitude less energy, and can run on efficient hardware that is optimized for that purpose. It's not going to take a gigaojoules of energy to infer custom solutions from a prompt.
>wear on mining machines
There is virtually no wear on mining machines from actual use. There is, but it's negligible compared the main cause of depreciation of mining machines: better hardware coming out every 2-4 years AND the reduction in mining reward rate[1]. A bitcoin mining rig is worth essentially 0 after 2 years due to this depreciation. Not failure from wear. This is also true for GPU miners.

Second, there are many better uses for cheap power - one could use it to store energy in a hypothetical future where we use lots of intermittent renewables. You could use it to produce highly energy intensive physical goods - aluminum, hydrogen gas, fertilizer. You could use it for intensive climate engineering with carbon capture.

Almost anything else you can think of would be better than running a proof-of-waste cryptocurrency network.

As a manager I always state in my message what I want to talk about. Or what a meeting is about.

There is a big difference between "Can we talk?" and "Can we talk? Want us to look over the roadmap real quick". The first one could be anything and the other person will always imagine all kinds of stuff. Likely even lose productivity over it. The second one is a no brainer.

On the low end it's more about protection. In that sense gang violence begets gang membership.

They inevitably crop up everywhere where police represent more of a threat than protection. Kind of like the free market springing up to meet demand, in a kind of sick and twisted way.

This is fascinating. What country?
Unfortunately, about 40 years ago, I was employed by a corporation in a capacity that required them to file documents identifying me by SSN to state regulators in several states, such documents being available for the public to inspect, not withstanding that I still have my original Social Security card, which says thereon quite clearly "Not for Identification."

The SSN does not have the attributes of a good permanent identifier of a unique person. If you get an SSN with three consecutive 6's in it, you can get it changed to another one not containing that string. Worse yet, the Social Security Administration has reserved the right to reuse the SSN's of persons deceased (IDK if they can or might do that without giving further notice). Furthermore, the US government talks as if there are two completely different kinds of numbers that each use 9 digits, and that they might overlap, ie use the same numbers for different entities; one being SSN's and ITINS, and the other EINS. However, the practice of the IRS and SSA has been to do their best to make sure that they do not overlap, at which the results have been as good as can be expected, but not perfect.

They still have a site wide ad free option. It’s Twitch Turbo.

Back in the day before Amazon brought out Twitch turbo would give ad free viewing plus a few extra perks (different emotes, full RBG setting for colouring your username).

When they launch Twitch Prime (now rebranded as Prime Gaming) as a benefit for Amazon Prime they copied the feature set from Turbo and added a free subscription to a streamer of your choice. So most people swapped from Turbo to Prime.

They stopped pushing Turbo and hit its purchase page but if you looked closely enough you could find it.

But prime wasn’t really a money maker, sure it was a benefit to the viewer but it was an extremely generous offer (helped soften the blow that Amazon just brought everyone’s fav gamer streaming platform)

But yeah it was tanking ad impressions (which they have were trying to expand the ad business during this time) cause you know you know a sub token worth 5 bucks, ad free viewing and all the other benefits of Amazon prime for what 8 bucks a month. You were a fool not to swap from the existing Turbo offering to Prime, and if you didn’t have Amazon Prime but you already sub’ed to atleast one streamer a month it was only a few extra bucks a month compared to what you were already paying.

So they removed the ad free viewing from Prime gaming and started pushing Turbo again for another 9 bucks a month.
You could also just not care instead of trying to change everyone.

I understand people are wired differently and react differently to this situation.

It is helpful for one's own mental health to Assume Positive Intent when context is missing from messages. If it is really bad news that the other party wants to discuss, there is nothing you can do about it. You might as well deal with it during/after the discussion. If it is a benign discussion, all your anxiety would have been pointless anyway.

The corollary is that if you are sending a message, it just takes a few additional words to provide context (don't be cryptic; don't write a Tolstoy novel). That saves time on both sides. It preps the recipient to come prepared with information for the discussion and hopefully makes the discussion short and productive.
This is because Facebook is a Publisher. They will never admit it but FB/META can decide what users can see. This is the what a Publisher does.

The issue we have is that if you let the users decide what is shown on any platform it would be quite a mess.
If you really want to do this and fool wireless location, I wonder if a client running at the "real" location can run something like airodump-ng and send the received (B|E)SSIDs to the remote end where a fake AP spoofs them. You don't actually need to break any crypto to do this, simply broadcast the same networks with the same security parameters (even if the key itself is different). Signal strength will be an issue but it's probably still good enough to fool the system into returning an inconclusive result. Tampering with the wireless card to prevent it from receiving anything is also a solution.
You must have disabled it some time back.

So in Germany, you need to prove your identity to buy a SIM card. You can't really buy an anonymous phone, because every SIM card is tied to someone's identity.

This probably doesn't prevent SIM swapping entirely, but you will need to also steal the other SIM card you're swapping the number to.

I really don't think the author's point is even remotely related to what you're pointing at. The words 'scary' and 'anxiety' are, in my opinion, to be taken very lightly in this blog post. These are normal human emotions, not necessarily diseases. It is about effective communication at work, and if you ask around this is not even a particularly contentious issue, everybody seems to agree to a certain extent.

> I don't really think "Can we chat?" has much to do... with remote working

Yes, it also applies to the office, but you do realize this is specifically about instant messaging, not drive-by conversations?

> I know for myself, after hearing it the 1st time, I wouldn't be anxious the second time or later. It's just an opportunity to talk.

The scenario in question might play out dozens of times a day at a larger company, you don't need those "opportunities to talk" if you have work to be done. Not doing this is a matter of courtesy. You might just have been lucky to not have it inflicted to you at that level.

I mean, "social engineering" is pretty broad; saying MFA can't stop social engineering is like saying password managers can't stop hacking, or HTTPS can't stop spying. I mean, sure... but Webauthn would have in fact stopped this type of social engineering attack (which was a fake login page). And scanning internal networks for hardcoded secrets would have stopped this type of privilege escalation afterwards.

Security is never absolute, but we're not talking about a nation-state/APT attack here; current reports seem to indicate this was a bored 18 year old acting alone.

'Growth' is 'coming to an end'?

"The crisis now unfolding, however, is entirely different to the 1970s in one crucial respect… The 1970s crisis was largely artificial. When all is said and done, the oil shock was nothing more than the emerging OPEC cartel asserting its newfound leverage following the peak of continental US oil production. There was no shortage of oil any more than the three-day-week had been caused by coal shortages. What they did, perhaps, give us a glimpse of was what might happen in the event that our economies depleted our fossil fuel reserves before we had found a more versatile and energy-dense alternative. . . . That system has been on the life-support of quantitative easing and near zero interest rates ever since. Indeed, so perilous a state has the system been in since 2008, it was essential that the people who claim to be our leaders avoid doing anything so foolish as to lockdown the economy or launch an undeclared economic war on one of the world’s biggest commodity exporters . . .
And this is why the crisis we are beginning to experience will make the 1970s look like a golden age of peace and tranquility. . . . The sad reality though, is that our leaders – at least within the western empire – have bought into a vision of the future which cannot work without some new and yet-to-be-discovered high-density energy source (which rules out all of the so-called green technologies whose main purpose is to concentrate relatively weak and diffuse energy sources). . . . Even as we struggle to reimagine the 1970s in an attempt to understand the current situation, the only people on Earth today who can even begin to imagine the economic and social horrors that await western populations are the survivors of the 1980s famine in Ethiopia, the hyperinflation in 1990s Zimbabwe, or, ironically, the Russians who survived the collapse of the Soviet Union."

First, you are assuming the size of the change to be proprotional to the change in hapinness level - that's a questionable first assumption! Maybe it's the opposite?

Or maybe it's uncorrelated? By default, to play it safe, keep the randomness and don't preselect for a big change!

A random change would be of any size: say, randomly try a different food today?

Then go to a aerobic class instead of a boxing class (or vice versa)

Or try swaps: if you often to go vacation on the same place you enjoy, have you tried swapping it to your main residence and work remotely?

That should be less disruptive, through all change is disruptive!
