> That makes it easier to learn from previous generations without having to understand the potentially harsh lessons that lead to the creation of the ritual in the first place?

This I suspect is very much a part of it. Humans have more complex things to learn, learning to do a bit extra may be better than learning to do to little. I.e. erring on the side of caution.

As an example of a ritual, you have the train conductors in Japan that point at stuff and say it out loud. [1] This is a ritual which on the surface level has no use. But this ritual does have a purpose. It's really hard to get things right every time, especially with routine inspections. It was found that by pointing and calling the thing you inspect, even with routine, fewer errors happen.

The rituals may be a way to deal with complexity.

Many companies in Australia do not even put years of experience in job requirements as a HR policy. What matters is experience like "has build complex APIs for integration" not how many years you have been building APIs. Then if you are called for interview you will be compared against the other candidates.
For full train nerddom, there's also https://www.opentraintimes.com/maps, which shows the data from the train describer system so you can track the position of trains down to the signal level.

Zing! That's excellent.
If the world wants a calendar system based on the cycles of nature, with very little political/religious baggage, there is the lunar calendar with the 24 solar terms, used by the Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese people.
Stand on the right on escalators, let people off of the carriages before you barge on, don't stop suddenly without checking who's about to walk into you, don't run into tube trains as the doors are closing only to get stuck and hold up the train, DON'T HOLD THE DOORS OPEN, go up and down stairs on the left, corridors etc, stay on the left and don't fuck around at the barriers. Have your card ready, your contactless ready, take your kids, cases, whatever through the wide gate. Don't play whatever shitty video you're watching to the whole train and certainly don't subject others to your music taste.

DO ask people for directions or for help, people may look tired, they may look grumpy they may even be those things, but most will be more than willing to help you.

EDIT: Others covered a few important ones I missed too; backpacks off, walking N-abreast so as to be blocking others from passing are a big no-no; you may be having a leisurely stroll, commuters have places to be, whether at work or at home with their families and their feet up after a long day.
> Astronomical winter starts on the shortest day, and astronomical summer on the longest day.

This is a convention used only by modern calendars. Astronomers have no opinion on when particular seasons occur. They care about things like when stars rise above or sink below the horizon. But they don't use the change in the sky to determine when winter occurs. People notice that winter occurs around the same time every year, and they associate whatever the sky is doing at that time with the beginning of winter.

As you already note, the solstices are called "midsummer" and "midwinter". That is because they are traditionally identified as the middle of summer and the middle of winter. Why do you believe that they are the beginning instead?
I'm pointing out the contradiction in this ongoing "political correctness/woke" backlash.

They're complaining about people doing the right thing. And they know that. So they have to complain they're doing the right thing wrong, or doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. Or the right thing is only a cover for a nefarious plot.

Which only re-inforces that it's the right thing, even before you examine the decades long track record of people arguing against it.
Thank you for posting your experience. I tried commenting before, but, ironically enough, the post became flagged. I don't really agree with every hill that Peterson chooses to die on, but I appreciate greatly that he has become a voice for many conservative Christians. I know many, personally, who are simply very good people with valid concerns that we should be able to discuss with civility. It's sad to see how many are being pushed further into conspiracy-land when bullied by thought-police policies from big tech. Unfortunately, I have personally witnessed this happen to some otherwise great men.
I'm looking at mike_hearn's response in the thread, and it's going in a good direction I think (https://hydraulic.software), albeit platform owners would need to do a lot more to help that kind of approach to succeed.

Looking at the current situation from a high level view, we already have URLs for applications (you'll need to declare a unique identifier for your bundle), and Apple and Google are already toying with the idea of immediately executable apps with App Clips and Instant Apps, so it feels like we're actually pretty close from that alternate reality where "installing" can be seamless to the user.

(+ iOS also handles removing unused apps from the device, so that part should also be ok)

> you won't really see "2022" that much outside of strictly tourist-oriented references

Both are used. While government orgs are likely to favor the Buddhist calendar, many businesses will use Gregorian. It's definitely not an artifact of tourism.

To wit: When are the most fireworks set off? Your choices are 'global' new year, Thai new year and Chinese new year.

I would guess 100% of Thai people (at least those living in Thailand) know what year it is in both calendars.

What rubbish, the only commitment for employees is to work to professional standards in lieu of money. If you need such long term commitments then hire like executives with retention, i.e. if you let go the employee before the term (except for misconduct/fraud etc.) then agreed compensation must be paid as per written contract, but you won't do it.
I have done IT for small businesses. Every small shop I worked for had to use many different and incompatible assortment of software tools to set up the IT for the business: Windows system for a proprietary billing software, OpenBSD system for routing, proprietary intercom tech. I envied my friends who worked for proper software companies. They could build everything for Linux, dockerize everything and done!

Is there anything like Kali-Linux but for business tech? I would love it if I can find one Linux bistro for business tech that rules them all!

That statement surprised me as well. Isn't "Off Peak" lingo confusing for foreign visitors? I know I used to find it annoying to have to care about that, and how there are different kinds of "Anytime" tickets that do or do not cover multiple rail networks.
I agree that Shopify is a business. My point is exactly that a business decision made for the profitability and stock price of the company is presented as an emotional story.

> that messages from a CEO are not meant to be treated as blogposts or emotional diary entries.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Do you not believe the original post is written to elicit an emotional reaction? How do you interpret it?

> Those lines of code started a company and sent it on a fascinating journey full of wonder, toil, success, failure, ambition, and above all else comradery. Being on a journey, surrounded by great teammates, doing difficult things is what it's all about.

> Our customers are merchants, entrepreneurs, and small businesses owners - the bedrock of our economy and precisely those that are typically hit hardest during recessions. Most are already feeling it. We again have a clear objective in these challenging macro economic times, and we will use everything we’ve got to help them succeed and come out stronger. That’s our core mission.

etc. It reads far more emotional and blogposty than the typical dispassionate corporate layoff announcement ("Corp corp is reducing 10% of our workforce today. This change will allow us to be more agile and do more synergy.") The whole point of this comment chain is that despite the tone and better writing, it's essentially the same message.

If, OTOH, your point is "well obviously it's the same message but you should know that", well of course I know that. That's why I wrote my comment. I just find it sort of frustrating, and the author's response tone-deaf to the issue with it. It's a layoff announcement. Drop the beginning and end about the incredible journey and Shopify's crucial mission. The middle is mostly good.
> At the beginning of this video, though, he makes the argument (one which I think is quite common these days) that all the news around QEII, and all of the tributes to her, are imposed from on high by media-elite overlords.

I think he was just criticizing the tradition as a whole because of the effects it has. But I might be mistaken.

> And the weird thing for me is that, while I kinda agree with that assessment, I think I would be the stupid one if I were so clearly dismissive of an institution that is held in such regard by a huge portion of the populace.

I don't think so. I was raised Catholic and I think the religion is stupid. It might have had a purpose in the past as a tradition, but that doesn't change that I think it really is stupid. Saying something shouldn't the dismissed because many people believe in it is a logical fallacy (Argumentum ad Populum).
What about everyone who do not have access to these resources?
> What about the storage devices (the S in NAS)?

I have two SSDs on it that are powered by the RPi itself, so the whole package is < 18W. Also, SSDs use way less power than HDDs.

> Which would be 13 kWh per month. If we're comparing to monthly fees for cloud storage, it's important to look at the same time frame.

Yes, running at max load. A more realistic load will be 3W/hr -> 72W/day -> 2kWh/month. That would put it at ~0.3€/month at a realistic load and ~1€/month at max load (0.15€/kWh where I live).

You also have to take into account there's other stuff running on such "NASes", like the PiHole, a git server, a plex server, which are going to cost you separately if you need them. On the other hand, my setup cost me ~300€ (RPi, charger, drives, USB-SATA adapters), which buys a whole lot of VPS and a whole lot of online storage.
> And yes, if you're ill but can't be arsed to call your NHS GP, then you're clearly not sick and shouldn't be tying up already strained public resources.

The problem with that statement is that if you take away all the supernatural claims and give some room for creative embelishments and naming inaccuracies you end up with not just one but several "actual persons" but their existence becomes entirely irrelevant to the existence of a historical "Jesus".

It's a lot like the "god of the gaps": if you are willing to compromise on a definition of god that gives up on all supernatural claims in history and that only works through mechanisms indistinguishable from natural events, you're no longer talking about the same YHVH that painted fiery letters on a throne room, appeared in burning shrubbery, flooded the entire surface of the Earth and turned people into salt.

I think trying to argue about external facts when studying religion is largely a moot point. It's neat when you can tie religious doctrine and historical accounts together but a religion doesn't cease functioning because its historical claims are inaccurate. The historical claims are entirely accidental to the religion itself and should be viewed as mythological, not empirical.

I'm sorry to hear what happened to you. Unfortunately, these companies often don't offer any sort of support despite acting as offering a place to host our memories. Facebook is a free service - not paid - and thus you should expect nothing from them. It's tragic, but that's the reality.

It's a solved problem in a minor baltic state.

We have id card, which contains client authentication certificates. The procedure on acquiring ID card is the same as passport and carries the same legal power. You have to show up in real life and they take your fingerprints, photo and issue you ID card. ID cards will actually be mandatory for everyone beginning 2023-01-01 - up until now they are optional but very much favored around my circle. There is a fair amount of stuff you can only do with ID card (remotely):

- Set up smart-id for 2FA for banking app in your smartphone. No, I don't have option not to use 2FA.

- Official communication with .gov entities.

- Signature & timestamp service

- Remote notary services (requires video presence and showing ID card additionally to actually using it to put digital signature)

- Logging in various sites (banking, government entities)

- Recovering from lost second factor at national TLD DNS registry.

This is the ultimate authentication mechanism that services use to allow you to perform so much.

To authenticate & put down signature, you must use dedicated PIN code for each of those operations. And of course you must possess the card (use card reader).
Obama inherited an economy in free fall. By the time he left, the deficit had been cut in half (thanks to sequester), we had more quarters of 3%, 4%, even 5% GDP growth not since the 90s. Unemployment fell from 10% to 4.7%. Home prices and the stock market appreciated considerably.

Trump largely inherited a good economy from Obama, passed a reckless tax cut, and then failed to beat Obama’s final 3 years in terms of gdp growth or job growth. Those tax cuts blew a hole in the deficit before COVID and triggered a plethora of stock buyback activity depleting corporate cash reserves just in time for the pandemic leaving them with nothing to fall back on, and needing quicker and bigger bailouts that might have been necessary if they had bigger nest eggs. (Airlines especially)

Obama had international inspectors in Iran’s nuke plants, Trump pulled the US out and now the situation is far worse with respect to th nuke profliferation issue.

I'll do you one better: I had to create a verified business account just to download software(ladder logic IDE for a sewage pump) from one such site.

I even got a call from a nice, older gentleman who asked me why do I want a business account and could this be avoided somehow. Funny he should ask.

To me it appears that these companies see presence in the web as a necessary evil and would rather do business the old fashioned way: calling and in-person meetings.

Apparently so far they hadn't had any incentive to change.
> Wierdly,monarchs seem to be the default in human societies throughout the ages.

The Roman Republic lasted about as much the Roman Empire. There have been a lot of Republic and Monarchies and I don't know which one more often that the other, but I wouldn't call it a default.

> Even our current system of government is modelled after monarchs. Supreme leader at the top, his second, close circle below, ministers below, bureaucrats below them, and finally us plebs.

This doesn't justify keeping the monarchy, actually it is an argument that we can have something that works similarly without the issues of the inherited rights.

Coming to grips with the hidden influence of my own physicality has been a long term struggle for me. I realised over a long time that the fact that I was over six foot, male, white, bearded, broad and articulate meant that people inherently saw me as significantly more capable and tended to defer to me in a multitued of situations. This wasn't something that naturally gelled with the way I viewed my own competencies, but it's also really, really, really hard to get people to stop doing. Basically I have a significant 'self discrepancy gap'[0] between 'Own Actual' and 'Other Actual' that I constantly need to work at. Years of experience have taught me that these kind of gaps are pretty common in our industry.

Yes it exists and think it's incredibly important for people to be aware of the power of their own physicality and not to abuse it.

Those “good times” were large an extension of Obama’s term. If you look at the GDP and job numbers of this period and fit a regression line, Trump did not meaningfully alter the slope of the curve, which means he largely inherited a growing economy and road the coattails.
I'll disagree. I think Mozilla realized the line between the browser and the OS is going to eventually fade to the point of irrelevance and made the smart decision to invest effort into the only solution that makes sense longterm. If the goal isn't to be beholden to the big players then making your own OS is the only way forward for this kind of endeavor since Android is effectively Google anyway. Whether Mozilla has done a good job approaching that strategy or not is an entirely different matter.

It matters. If you are tall and good looking, it helps.

BUT…

Amongst the vast majority of the most capable, successful, and broadly well-respected people I have worked with, their status has had little to do with their beauty. I am thinking of folks that are not “attractive” in any conventional sense, yet their wits and competence and heart makes them so.

In certain professions, the effect of beauty is outsized. I hardly need name these; look for shallow aesthetes and cameras. In technical professions that value actual competence, I have found that it doesn’t matter (much.)
