The only music that I know with a (similar) fundamental emotional theme is the "Concierto de Aranjuez" by Joaquin Rodrigo.

It is supposedly structured around the loss of his unborn child.

It is quite beautiful.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concierto_de_Aranjuez

"Rodrigo and his wife Victoria stayed silent for many years about the inspiration for the second movement, and thus the popular belief grew that it was inspired by the bombing of Guernica in 1937. In her autobiography, Victoria eventually declared that it was both an evocation of the happy days of their honeymoon and a response to Rodrigo's devastation at the miscarriage of their first pregnancy. It was composed in 1939 in Paris."
That is an extremely curious reading of the comment you are responding to, given that it appeared they were just arguing that if people want to change the Fed, and it doesn't happen, then that would show Congress doesn't represent the people of the US.

sigh i've seen a younger doctor once who cleaned my ears (with machine). They dropped the nozzle which was to enter my ear, and just continued on their jolly way to clean my ears. I had to stop a doctor to ask them to clean what they just dropped, and wash their hands :/

this is a good piece of advise though thanks for commenting.

The cold and disappointing truth is that the only institutions with the power to actually do something about human rights are all captured and steered to acquire wealth & power under the auspices of human rights & 'saving the earth'.

And yes, if you ask me, making whole swaths of populations more poor and less powerful is the same as increasing the power and wealth of this group of usurpers.

This is all possible because most people are good and support human rights because (to me, and us commenting) to do otherwise is ghoulish. So through social manipulation & constant reinforcement of what is good for human rights and telling the public who is doing all this good for humans is critical to grift I described above in the abstract.

So clearly, even though twitter human rights dept has little to no actual power to improve human rights, this department is critical to shaping the narrative to the public that the institutions who DO have power to help 'human rights' are actually doing so.

Look at the world today and you know in your heart things are getting worse but watch with a keen eye at how viciouly the levers of propaganda are fought for.
> it's really really hard to accurately ascribe meaningful credit (or guilt) for any change

It's a bitter pill to swallow that I not only have to give these people my money to do this work, but they're wasting time trying to ascribe credit or blame for it.

> and especially to do so in a way that is understandable by voters.

This is the old "voters are actually stupid" idea. I don't buy it. Voters seem to have no problem deciding for themselves who deserves what credit, what politicians want is to market their "success" and to pass off their "failure."

Again.. using our own funds to do it. I find the whole thing inappropriate. If we decide to credit you, you will be re-elected, if we decide to blame you, we will invoke the courts.. and I doubt they will have a "really really hard time ascribing guilt" to the appropriate party.

>Serious bugs doesn't care in which language the error happens

This just isn't true.

Buffer overflows are not possible with bounds checking.

Using a language that provides containers with bounds checked access methods would have prevented this. This isn't a point of debate or something, it's a fact.

C is virtually the only language that doesn't provide a safe way to access elements.

C++ provides bounds checking with std::array, std::vector and std::string using the "at()" methods. All Rust containers are checked by default. Pretty much every other language also is checked by default as well. All of these language's could have prevented this error and the other buffer overflow errors which there are tons of.

The web platform, HTML/js/css in a browser, is one of the greatest inventions of all time. Its versatility is immeasurable. The fact we have one toolkit that scales from a simple text based publishing platform to full application development environment, is insane. It covers all paradigms of computing, from thin client to full offline enabled local computing.

It is incredible that the community have built this general purpose platform, and that it's not only versatile but also incredibly performant.

Modern JS engines are only 50% the speed of native C, no compiler or toolkit needed. How insane is that!

CSS/HTML is growing from strength to strength, it's a gui toolkit with so much power universally supported on all computing platforms, from phones to desktops. It has so many features, and is so extendable, but anyone can use it anywhere. There's no limit to its capability, or who can use it to build their inventions.

The same toolkit can be used by small children to explore the ideas around "programming" all the way up to the best developers in the world.

Honestly the argument that we have somehow gone wrong with html/css/js is absurd. What this platform has contributed to humanity is immeasurable.

The "original vision" of the web as a publishing platform for text may be dead. But it lives on as a publishing platform for human invention, ingenuity and creativity.

Hi all, hope all’s well.

As big fans of timeblocking/timeboxing (as proposed by e.g. Cal Newport), we are building software to help you better integrate timeblocking practices into your daily workflows.

As a first step of our product roadmap, we’ve recently released the alpha version of Chalk, a Google Calendar extension available. Chalk is a digital helper to help you with both Timeblocking/Calendar Mgmt and Timetracking that that improves on other solutions, incl. paper planers, "barebones" GooCal and other digital tools.

Key Features
- Creation of custom categories for each calendar color
- Accelerated color-coding of individual calendar events/slots
- Flexible analytics of time spent per color

Some Use Cases
- Turbocharged Timeblocking straight in your existing Google Calendar environment
- Enhanced color coding-based Calendar Mgmt
- Calendar management-based Timetracking
- Integrated, customizable Reporting, e.g. as input for freelancer invoicing

We are now looking for early adopters/testers for the tool to test it, give feedback and provide improvement & additional feature suggestions.

Please let us know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions. Really looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks a lot!! The Chalk team
It's surprisingly hard to find an authoritative history of this.

Like you, my source is having been there and experienced it: my cousins, who were in private school, were quickly able to go back to in-person instruction; my sister, who was in public school, was not (until she switched).

Kids without the financial resources to do that just lost out.

Here's an NYT article from Nov 4, 2020, headline "In San Francisco, Closed Public Schools, Open Private Schools":

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/04/us/san-francisco-closed-p...

Here's an SFUSD memo six months later announcing the partial return of some kids to in-person learning:

https://www.sfusd.edu/covid-19-response-updates-and-resource...

Sure I'm dunking on SF city gov, because it deserves it! Its citizens are uniquely poorly served, especially its poorer citizens, in a city that is one of wealthiest on earth.
I personally pack things at the bottom and throw them out when I find them years later :(
> "Lowest unemployment ever!"

This is a different kind of statement when it's not hedged in any way as compared to the tweet as quoted in the article.

> “Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership” (emphasis mine)

Of course it's easy to assume that they said "the biggest increase" to make it sound as good as possible and it's easy to assume that they said "in 10 years" because they didn't want to just lie. But then, why did they need to include "through President Biden's leadership"? Isn't that technically false if it happened "through 50-year-old legislation"?

That being said, why do you think that statement isn't intentionally misleading? Or if you do think it's intentionally misleading, why do you think the context shouldn't be added? I don't buy that it's arbitrary; it's clearly relevant to the statement that was made.

Certainly I'd agree that this policy is absolutely ripe for abuse (through arbitrary application) but so far I haven't seen a reason for people to think that it will be or has been abused, barring the assumptions they choose to make.

> It's not surprising or controversial, but it's in direct opposition to the idea that Twitter should allow all legal speech.

The world is full of hypocrisy and Elon has his share. But I don't really care if the guy is a hypocrite; I'd be more interested in discussing if the move is right. If it violated internal company policy, or revealed internal identities or anything of that sort, then maybe it was the right move?

I'm just glad I don't have to make these decisions.
This is a standard pro business publication that posts sensationalist headlines with regularity, and believes the only way an economy can function is by not having taxes and letting businesses do whatever they want whenever they want.

With that background we can see that they will always want to be able to run headlines like this, whether they’re right or wrong. So I wouldn’t worry about things based solely on headlines from organizations like this, any more than I’d put all my trust in economic forecasts from “The Marx Community Paper” :D

I’m similarly wary of banks own forecasts given their track record of being opposed to any economic policy that doesn’t increase their own profit margin.

Honestly I would kill for the big important government measures for inflation, etc to only account for say the 80-90yh percentile of tax residents.
> If he didn't want to do something and the other party in the negotiation used the legal system to make him do it he was forced by someone else to do it.

The complication here is that his offer was so outlandishly high that he essentially tied Twitter management's hands. If they had not sued him, they would almost certainly be subject to litigation from their own shareholders, because not doing everything to sell at this price would have amounted to corporate mismanagement (In practice, top management gets a lot of leeway from the courts when it comes to maximizing shareholder value, but I can't imagine leaving a 30%+ markup over the current stock price on the table would have passed muster).
That smells like rationalization to me. "No candidate outside of my personal circle of friends could possibly do this job because being in the circle is required to do the job."
#2 - this crushed by bureaucracy point - main reason i'm looking for someone new.

I did a similar thing as a web page an eInk tablet. What doubled the value for me though was adding a weather widget to the corner. It shows me:

* the high or low over the next 12 hours

* graphical forecast of the 12 hours (including chance of precipitation)

which is all the info I need to know to dress for wherever I'm taking the bus to. You can get all this info (including graphics!) from weather.gov DWML, e.g. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=40.7143&lon=-7...

I wonder how deep the economic analysis will go to decide that a tweet needs "context"?

For example, if an administration (cough) touts that this year's economic growth has been among the highest in a decade and that an increase in spending is "paid for", but that's just because a last year's index point was in the toilet because of a pandemic and we're getting back to where we were before...

Who decides whether that's context-worthy?

Fact Check: Not all free speech "absolutists" "excoriate" such things. Some of them have nearly always considered the context in which they're given to decide whether these kind of annotations indicate an actual fact-check, or, alternatively, a big flag that the post, podcast, or video might be something that contains genuinely interesting and informative content. Others enjoy seeing their oppressive opponents foisted upon their own petards, after the same tool did little to harm themselves to begin with, and then also seeing their opponents squeal in rage at how the turntables.

> A programmer can read available but not oss licensed code and learn from it. Thats fair use. If a machine does it, is it wrong ?

My (extremely amateur) understanding is that what is meant by "learn from it" is one of the hinge points of the legal question.

If a programmer reads licensed code and reproduces it verbatim or near-verbatim in a project with a conflicting license, that becomes a legal problem in certain circumstances.

If a programmer reads the same code and gets an idea to implement something different, that's less troublesome (or at least, if it is troublesome it's in a different area; if the idea was related to a patentable process, then other questions arise, but I'm even less qualified to speak to that area of law).

There's nothing special about copy/paste buttons that make them the only way you can infringe copyright.

Fair use doesn't automatically kick in just because someone uses what they took/copied as part of a larger artifact; it's a really complicated legal line.

Wow, thank you for sharing these super specific systems you have put in place that work for you! With your permission, I'd love to share these tools and tips with our coaches, in case they haven't seen them before (they are new to me!) and may be relevant to their members.

I'm excited that you have found your exact mix, and our mission is exactly to help other folks just like us found their unique mix of tools & systems that work for their life. With their commitment to experimenting, the abundance of resources like the ones you've shared, and our coaches' guidance, we hope to get our members to their version of where you're at! Ideally with free stuff too!

The goal of coaching is most definitely not to be a crutch that you have to use forever. Ideally they can get to a point similar to yours with the aid of their coach! Oftentimes, the sifting through info, experimenting, and staying motivated part is the hard part (that we hope to be able to help with!)

Right. There is a lot to be said about how the apps don't really reflect the reality. What you're talking about creates a feedback loop where women get more selective as men get more desperate.

But the issue of hookups is odd. I don't know if most people find hookups objectionable. I know a lot of people probably want some kind of connection. I see that constantly in women's profiles. So how do we end up with hookups anyway in spite of no one wanting it? I mentioned elsewhere in this thread that in my experience, being upfront to women about wanting a serious relationship seems to scare them off. Why would that be?

One possibility is that women choose hookups in some cases or as a bargaining tool to get a relationship. My own thought is dating apps should probably discourage this instead of selling false hope to men. They could just limit the number of matches or maybe try to set it up so people go for relationships instead of a hookup.

>too many choice problem

This is a different issue I think but it is true. I think what happens is people assume they can do better always and that might not even be true. I could see how people would miss a good match hoping for a perfect one, then age, then face worse options and end up single and alone. I think this is a serious problem we're facing that we should confront.

Another issue I have experienced is that you realize too late that you aren't compatible. It's a lot of effort to get close to people and you end up building up all this attraction in the process. It's by design. Women won't talk to you, period, unless you build attraction. But then you start to learn about each other and realize ok wow this person is completely different and we have very different values.

If you tried this the other way around and put your values in your profile or start asking questions before any attraction is built up on these apps, the women don't respond well to it. It's too boring and dry for them.
