I live in Europe so I did get my news from non-US media sources. There were a lot of reasons not to go to war, especially in the way the US did. There was no UN backing yet and there was no good plan what to do with the country once Saddam was gone. But claiming you knew that Saddam had all of a sudden given up all his WDMs doesn't seem like a very strong one. This man violated countless UN resolutions about WDMs in the past, and now he all of sudden went straight? How is that a reasonable assumption? Also, it's not impossible he did have them after all and just hid them well.
I have tried, and over a fairly long period of coaxing with popcorn, and they remain extremely wary. Only once, out of a group of 15-20 crows, did I earn the trust of a single crow enough that he, or she, would come within 10 feet of me to pickup kernels I had strewn on the ground. The rest stayed far away.

Just looking at any of the commonly cited reasons to prep (unrest, natural disasters) especially in developed countries and how they played out in the end, what you see is neighbors banding together, volunteers arriving from all over the country and random people donating large chunks of money.

I like to think of the preppers‘ cynical and pessimistic mindset as ultimate projection: Just because they would defend their food stash with a gun doesn‘t mean others wouldn‘t share their last can.

> same rules as China and only allow foreigners to rent land from the government for a lifetime (I think it was 80 years)

The same rules apply to locals, leasehold itself is a very Georgist idea as it is used in modern times.

Leasehold rather than freehold is baked into Georgian ideals of taxing rent-extraction.

One of my precious teenage memories is visiting a friend whose parents had a good library and set of Roman bilingual writings (similar to the Loeb Classics series). I picked Pliny’s letters and read the entire thing in one gulp. I was blown away how modern the thoughts and problems and considerations were.
The thousand years of Darkness after the fall of the Roman Empire were no joke. If we all can contribute just a little bit to keep civilization thriving for centuries to come, we have done our part.
It's great that you want to uphold a religious tradition that is important to your family, but that is not the case for the majority of people subjected to circumcision. Most are not Jewish and may not even be religious.
It seems to me that life today is a lot better then it was when the printing press was invented, and that the printing press probably has something to do with that.
I heard this argument before 2020s crash. I exited early before it because I feared his prediction. Did it hold up during 2020 crash? In March 2020 everything crashed very fast but also rebounded extremely fast when the fed turned on the printing press.

My personal opinion is that what matters is just the Fed. Index bubble, everything bubble, crypto bubble. It all doesn't matter, what matters is just what the Fed is doing. And the Fed is a few mistake prone officials who could forget to turn on interest rate for an entire year, so whatever Jerome Powell had for breakfast might end up being more important than what an experienced economist says.

I totally agree with you, I’m just trying to figure out what a billionaire and a bunch of his anti-woke billionaire buddies think they can do with a platform like this.

To their credit I think the network effects of twitter are in fact stronger than I’d like to believe them to be. I also think they themselves don’t want a “free for all hell scape” really, just enough to push some libertarian / longtermist / free speech ideology and hope that they can shape the countries narrative in their direction.

Oddly I’m starting to think this whole thing goes back to an old money vs new money struggle. SV wants to pull influence away from “the New York Times” crowd, but I think what they’re underestimating I exactly how unpopular their worldview is.
I think all of those things have really only been shown for continued prolonged use, ie. not after cessation for a few months.

Thank you for reading all of that. I read a lot and tend to be long-winded when I write and I know that a lot of people's attention spans are pretty short. I'm glad you found something of value in the words. That was my hope.

You're welcome.
There's lots of reasons why something like a working microwave might get thrown out. Eg:

* I have a small kitchen and just never use it

* I have a small kitchen and it lacks some feature (eg, grill) that would save me another device.

* Grandma can't made head or tails of these weird buttons. Seriously, my current mirowave damn near has hieroglyphs on it, and it's quite recent. Microwave UI is just appalling. Feel free to ask for a picture if curious.

* We remodeled the kitchen and it's no longer a good fit

* We had an extra one for some reason. Eg, child had to move back in with their parents, brought their stuff.

* It's too small

* I'm moving to another country and not taking it with me

As for why not sell it/list it somewhere? You can buy a microwave for $50, so it may just not be worth the effort. You have to do all this negotiating/chatting/texting and agreeing with people about who will be where when, and if you're not in a bad need of a few bucks it may just not be worthwhile.
For sure. I switched from E.E. into Math/CS partly because no lab experiments that you can't get to "work." It's all in your brain.

I chalk that up to immaturity. Or maybe the way labs were run back then; not sure.

> Does the effect fall off with the square of the distance? Is it linear? Is there a threshold?

You seem to want to treat it as some sort of physical field or force. IANAP (I am not a psychologist), but it seems fairly self-evident that the effect arises from the awareness of being observed, which leads to you observing and mediating your own actions. Based on that, I would predict that physical distance is only indirectly relevant. The strength of the effect is going to depend on how many of your activities are theoretically knowable by the other person. If they are physically present but farther away, you can "get away with" doing more things without them knowing, so you'll omit such behaviors from the self-monitoring loop. If they are virtually present, I would imagine that the strength of the effect depends on how clearly you can observe them (because we can't see how they see us, but we'll assume that it's roughly the same).

Which would make for an interesting experiment: do body doubling with very asymmetric visual quality, size, and latency but without informing the participants that they are seeing anything different. My guess is that the one who sees a better quality signal will experience a much stronger effect.

Like many things in psychology, though, there are tons of confounding variables. Your relationship to the person matters—specifically, how much you care about their opinion of you and your actions. I would imagine body doubling with a dog would work temporarily and then the effect would fade away as you got comfortable with goofing off in front of them.

Anybody you double with, you'll place on a scale from somewhere between "dog" and "attractive person I am desperate to impress". (And the latter end of the scale can be paralyzing, so this isn't a small→large effect scale.)
It's an intentionally obtuse criticism, and I don't think it's been made in good faith. I'm seeing all kinds of weird, gleeful hatred being thrown at a piece of software that a bunch of people are running for a variety of their own reasons. It's like being mad at WordPress because of a hateful website you found.

Mastodon is not that hard to understand. It's just not Twitter. It's not meant to be a 1-to-1 replacement for Twitter, but people keep trying to compare it to Twitter and then acting out like they're all upset because they don't find everything they're looking for in the thing.

If "Mastodon replace Twitter" is a thing, it will mostly be in the sense that people will be using their time differently, not that they'll be doing the same things as they do on Twitter. You're not going to "build a brand" on Mastodon. You're not going to make a name for yourself posting "dank memes". You're not going to get a chance to show off your "sick dunks" to your followers.

I think it's weird that people keep calling Twitter a "public square", but if that's how they want to think of Twitter, that's not at all Mastodon.

What is Twitter, actually? It's an advertising platform. It carrots people with celebrities and sticks them with promoted tweets. Along the way, some people find they can keep up with their friends, colleagues, and industry acquaintances through the thing.

Mastodon is just about the last thing.
Disingenuous, huh? previous poster interpreted "buy a considerable stake in these American social media companies" as give Elon Musk money.
I used to really enjoy watching people stream FTL, but my favorite FTL streamers have become so good at the game that in 80% of the fights, it's not actually a fight. The enemy ship is incapable of damaging them. It makes the game boring to watch when the main point of excitement is whether or not the enemies will be able to sneak in 1 or 2 points of hull damage this entire sector. There's just no chance of losing a lot of the time, no sense of danger, no struggle.

I know this is a very minor late game complaint. The game is tough, and this only effects the very best, but it's something I've thought about many times and I was wondering if anyone else has thought the same?
Why not monetization? I had a coworker who refurbished old phones and sold them on ebay. If you can make a little money on the repair and resale, maybe the connecting service could take a tiny cut.

Guns aren't even the foundation to warfare. Food is, as is the efficient movement of food, allocation of food.

If society collapses, the most powerful fighters will be the dude who remembers how to raise donkeys and horses, so that food can move around and organize an army.

There's a reason why Genghis Khan first attacked China of all places. The great Khan needed to recruit bureaucrats to organize the logistics of his army.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yel%C3%BC_Chucai

It doesn't take very long to realize that standing armies themselves require a society with laws, rules, logistics, organization. Pretty much every ancient warlord understood this.

A good army / war requires a good society: food, education, laws. If you can't provide that, then you can't march an army for more than a couple dozen miles.

> We’re all guilty and we all want to think we’re not.

I’ve completely accepted my guilt. I don’t try to convince myself that these things are the right way to live life. I just accept that the only way for me to make a difference is to be part of, or very closely adjacent to, the “ruling class” (politicians, corporate leadership) where I would be able to start taxing externalities and allocate those taxes to remediation.

I know my eating meat is wrong and bad for the world. I just don’t believe that individually becoming virtuous will change anything about the world.
> If the town wants to save itself, it must start water-rationing for agriculture, and ban a lot of alfalfa growing.

Or more effectively (because it is much simpler and can’t be gamed nearly as easily), price the water appropriately based on the sustainable supply. Then it will not be profitable to use at huge scale for low-value water-intensive crops.

If fairly pricing the water ends up hurting local residents, that would best be dealt with by directly paying cash to every resident to make up the typical difference.

(We should do the same with other resources that are scarce or have negative externalities; e.g. gasoline should have the environmental costs of carbon emissions priced into it with a very steep tax, and then every resident should be directly paid cash enough to make up the difference for a typical person’s transportation. Otherwise, people are incentivized to over-use resources that are effectively being subsidized, and the free market economy cannot perform its function.)
Not at all the same. At least not how offices are usually structured. It doesn’t work as well with groups which is why “just go work at the library” isn’t also a solution.

An office set up for body doubling would be pairs or small groups of people from completely different teams sharing an semi-isolated space.
Most places you could still go outside, parks, camping, hiking, beaches, etc. other than a few brief shutdowns for places with admission booths and stuff.
Not sure how that shows its WBGR vs RWBG. Besides, your claim is that something is doing sub-pixel operations so using other color patterns would be just as inconclusive as the yellow you're posting about, no?

Looking at spec sites and they say its RWBG.

I recently started a job building wearable VR haptic feedback systems. This isn't a field I've ever even thought of before, but it's been really interesting so far. I'm pushing the limits of what the current technology can physically do and trying to tease it into a format that tricks your monkey brain into perceiving a texture or shape.

This field is not something I've even thought about before, but it's been a very interesting challenge. Part of my job is to just straight up invent new technology, which is something I've always secretly dreamed of.

I'm dreaming up ways to generate physical textures on the fly and present it to your finger in a way that convinces your brain it's real. How fucking cool is that??

Police and soldiers do a lot more than just arm themselves.
I have never seen a job like that where someone doesn’t code a bunch themselves and they are still a useful member of the team in the long term. I’ve hired a lot of engineers of various seniorities and also never hired anyone in the role you described and don’t see why I would. I expect the principle engineers or senior engineers to provide guidance but also to code.
> point at someone and have the crows attack

I imagine this would be a conceptual leap for their intelligence, to understand the meaning of "pointing" and to make a connection to the target, what's being pointed at. But then again, I suppose hunting dogs have achieved it - they know what to attack - so it might be possible for smart crows too.

Now that I think about it, there are cultures where people train hawks for practical hunting purposes. So taming crows may not be too far-fetched, though it might take a few generations..
Also apartment complexes sometimes have rules about who can carry furniture on the premises (for damage liability), so good luck hauling that massive bed/couch/etc. downstairs waiting for someone to pick it up... especially if you don't have friends/family nearby who can help at that precise time.
I really want to like Mastodon, and every few years I make an attempt to join. But then, I am faced with the decision of choosing a server - if I like cooking and golf, do I join the cooking server or the golf server? What if I choose wrong? - and the choice overload makes me just give up.

And even if I really joined, then apparently my server's administrator would be able to silently prevent me from seeing other "enemy" servers' messages, and they could even read my DMs.

I think I see the point of Mastodon, and I think it can be really advantageous for certain uses (e.g. for relatively tight communities, that want to have bonds within the community but also connections to the outside) but I just don't see its fit for the average user and especially as a replacement for the generalistic, unstructured network that is Twitter.
It's similar to a lot of Japanese "tactics" games in that regard (eg, Valkyria Chronicles). Games which have a lot of elements which make them look pretty free-flowing, but the scenarios end up being rather strict puzzles.
Why is this evidence of recursion rather that evidence of recognition of symmetry? The sequences they show are all simple symmetrical ones, e.g. {()}.
But maybe a simple purpose-built message board would go a long way. You don't just browse craigslist looking for people who post half-broken stuff right?
I picked a nice 1930s sideboard/bed side table and a working lamp out of a skip just yesterday. I've taken things from the tip that just work. Including a KitchenAid mixer.

I really don't get why people don't just take this stuff to the charity shop.

Skips go for ~£300 and the one yesterday was full of mostly fine stuff. Someone paid good money to get rid of good stuff. I don't get it.
I came to the conclusion that most likely, taking the job was morally neutral- barely hurting nor helping anyone outside the firm (not specifically RT- don't want to out myself); but that on a larger scale our country is rotting because our most capable thinkers are doing this instead of anything morally positive (solving healthcare, solving the climate crisis, leading the country), and I didn't want to participate in that brain drain.

Looking at my own motivations, one of the big draws of the position was that everyone I talked to at the firm was competent and pleasant, while in domains solving real problems (again for example healthcare and climate) 70% of people I've interacted with are stupid, petty, or both. But stepping back, isn't that state of affairs existentially horrifying? If that status quo persists, will we even survive as a species?
From the Twitter email

> Today is your last working day at the company, however, you will remain employed by Twitter and will receive compensation and benefits through your separation date of February 2, 2023.

> During this time, you will be on a Non-Working Notice period and your access to Twitter systems will be deactivated.

> While you are not expected to work during the None-Working Notice period, you are still required to comply with all company policies, including the Employee Playbook and Code of Conduct.

It seems like a refusal to go off of the “None-Working Notice” would be treated the same as any other refusal to follow assignments and it would make legal sense that it would turn to a termination rather then layoff.

Not moral, but legal IMHO
This sounds amazing. I'd be interested to hear more details about what "stewarding 50ha of Australian bush" entails. Do you work with a local conservation organization, and do you have any particular goals for restoration or management? Do you work on documenting the biodiveristy there? Is it home to any endemic or threatened species you're espeially interested in? Any photos you could share?
Russia has world's biggest park of SAM systems.

Even if the combined NATO force would've sent all planes it had in Europe, it would not be physically enough to destroy 39000 pieces of armour, and vehicles.

Only land warfare would've been able to stall this iron ball before it overran airbases.

Georgia and Ukraine, and they’ve been making a lot of noise about Moldova.
Right, which is why they only executed a partial migration for certain workloads that make sense: https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastruc...

I think what really irks me is this meme that “obviously they have massive infrastructure waste.”

Does anyone have credible evidence that there is enormous waste in Twitter’s infrastructure? Just because Musk says “cut $1b in infra spending” doesn’t mean that there is $1b of things to cut, just lying about being wasted. Some of the smartest minds in our industry work/worked at Twitter. Are they that bad at their jobs?

What is actually going to happen is this: they’ll turn off all of their data warehousing stuff, blinding the business. They’ll cut their redundancies and backups, reducing the probability that they can do effective DR. They’ll reduce spending on observability so far that they won’t even know what’s going wrong (it’s surprisingly expensive). And that’ll get them to the $1b in cuts - by flying blind (both in a business sense, and a technical sense), and just hoping they don’t need to recover from a disaster.
Self sufficiency and self reliance are just good skills to have regardless for the well being of your family. When did it become some type of negative epithet to call someone a 'prepper'? We all know the story of the grasshopper and the squirrels.

One thing really irks me though about this.. It really speaks to the city privilege of some of these authors and their editors to even assume a position of "hey maybe these preppers were right all along"; how condescending. It is my way of life to harvest my own resources, build my own things, and support my community through thick and thin, that is my culture and my legacy. To use that as an ideological strawman is about as disrespectful as it gets.
