The US is (and has been for a long time), an exporter of refined petroleum products such as Gasoline.

In 2021, it also happened to be a net exporter or petroleum overall, but usually it bounces around.

Saudi Arabia is key in keeping global energy prices lower by increasing global supply, and is also a key ally in a historically unstable region which impacts those prices.
He was not given immunity, he has de-facto immunity due to his position.

Imagine if that didn't exist? Biden visits Qatar and gets arrested for dis-respecting their leaders? I can see that all working out.

The truth is, I doubt there would be much decent evidence that would hold up in Court. It's like Russians being murdered outside of Russia, "of course" Putin would have had to order it but "of course" wouldn't cut it in Court.

I love how vague and meaningless this is, yet I still feel like I've heard this sentence said unironically a hundred times.
Take a break, go travel or do anything you want. Scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef before it disappears, visit Maldives before they sink or climb some mountain. The best answer to your problems won't be found online, it will most likely come from within you.
The parent isn't talking about aggregate overview of journalists. They are talking about targeted tracking. We already know the saudis were doing their damndest to have access to twitter for basically that exact purpose, and they keep telling me to ignore the hacksaws they brought.

Memo Twitter Sent Telling Staff Offices Were Closed
I know one individual who frequently gets into discussions that get bogged down. When I take the time to get to the bottom of it I'd say half the time this person is correct, has something important to say AND has a unique perspective which would get lost if they didn't participate... even critical to the success of the group. The other half of the time this person sticks to a position which is either wrong or irrelevant.

I've found 1-on-1 discussions with this person to flesh issues out are much more productive than group discussions because fewer people are in on it and when I'm in the right mindset I am able to to put the effort in and help this person make the very significant contribution to the group they are capable of.

Overall, preparation is a useful tool for communicating on difficult topics. There are so many things I can talk about succinctly now that took me years of working over again and again to get where I am. Having a script, having some visual aids, etc. can help anybody be more articulate.

I know an activist who used to be notorious for ranting at public meetings who has gotten help from people in her community to prepare what she says ahead of time and she makes a much better contribution.

I'm a bit sensitive to what you say because sometimes I "think differently", particularly when it comes to what one might think is essential as opposed to what one might think is particular.

One case is that whenever the subject of "doing a calculation in parallel" comes up I will start with introducing batching because almost always the unit of work takes less time (often by 100-1000 times so this is pretty general) than a context switch regardless of what technology you use. In my mind the batching is essential and how you schedule the work is superficial.

I'd say that my approach is faster and more reliable because most people will schedule a unit of work that is too small and not get any speedup. They are going to introduce batching or give up. I've also learned the hard way that few people, particularly in a group, are going to be receptive to this, that I'm going to be accused of being obstinate or an ineffective communicator and as painful as I find it (it takes continuous mental effort to suppress) I will let people go ahead and learn about batching the hard way.
Why is this downvoted?

I can't count the number of times where I've come across some boring, mundane topic and quickly figured out (by observing reality conflicting with what I'm seeing) that the discourse is dominated by one group or another who come into it with their own assumptions.
I think the thing you are missing is the number of people in existence.

I say that as a vegan.
> That is, forgiveness is how I see the other when I see them not as an enemy or friend, but as a tragic part of nature. I have moved on. Our ability to forgive has, perhaps, been distorted by the perception that it's an act of kindness. I think, rather, it's the most rutheless form of grief there is.

I don't see how forgiveness is ruthless. It takes great compassion to accept people and situations as they are without harboring bitterness, resentment, or judgment. Forgiveness is also a form of self-love.

The non-attachment that comes with forgiveness isn't the same as being cold or moving on by leaving someone else behind. That's still looking at things from an egoic "I have been wronged" narrative. Forgiveness is about dropping that story entirely.

> I think we've come to regard "forgiveness" as inevitably ending with reconsiliation. But perhaps, more often, it shouldnt.

I think in general reconciliation is a good thing, but it's not a given. And even if you do reconcile with someone, you don't have to restore full trust and involvement with them. You can clear the air and never talk to them ever again, or just on a need-to basis, or whatever. It all depends.

In general, our society's difficulty with forgiveness and the like is just another facet of not liking to confront truth. We struggle with truth in this era because the truth is often painful and demands a lot of change out of us that we feel unable or unwilling to give. The Twitter apology is an answer to the question "How do we pay lip service to the truth without having to actually engage with it?"

Crypto tokens have no fundamental value, but as long as people are interested in it, Coinbase has fundamental value offering a service to get money in and out without the apparent BS and scams. It crashed hard- I think coinbase is actually a good investment right now, a solid business with underpriced stock.

Edit: HOOD is probably a good buy too for the same reasons.
I don't find it jarring or disconnected. In many worldviews, the most problematic aspect of meat is the pain and discomfort inflicted during the rearing and slaughter process. I've met hunters who will tell you they're far more at-ease with eating meat from an animal they killed in the wild (thus knowing it did not live in a cage and died instantly) than they are with factory farming.
Oil prices abroad affect oil prices at home.
I once worked at a startup and reported to the CTO. This guy was a genuinely smart guy, a little bit of a genius, in the sense that he had a knack for approaching problems from a different perspective and coming up with different/creative solutions.

Having said that, his emails were horrible. Sometimes he would accidently put in a 'no' in the sentence, so he actually wrote the opposite of what he meant. I knew him well, so I could guess that this is the case, and followed up verbally to check what he means. At the same company the CEO also wrote pretty terrible 2-liner emails.

I personally put great value on clear and concise communication, esp. clear and concise writing. However, in my experience, having worked at ~10 companies, I'm an exception on this.

Most people seem to view the act of typing a message/email as a necessary evil, and they will just do one pass of typing, send it, and hope for the best.

Most people do not: (i) proof-read what they write (ii) care about grammar (iii) consider whether this is clear and concise (iv) don't think whether this is a good time to write this.

On the last point, eg. as a manager I never write any emails that might affect people's mood on a Friday, because I don't want to f--k with their weekends; there's no point, I can just send it at 9am on Monday and everybody had a great weekend. But, in my experience most managers aren't considerate like this.
The trouble with Mastodon that I’ve seen (on Twitter) is folks are a bit confused with its federated nature. They’re not sure which server to use nor the “rules” governing that server.

Mastodon is really better suited as a collection of smaller communities much like Reddit's r/ forums then for one “universal” platform.

It’s already had some scaling issues with folks trying to use it as well.

It really depends on who you are talking to and what their role is, right?

If you are bouncing ideas off other workers who have other responsibilities and don’t really know much about your problem, I suspect they see it as more of a social conversation and don’t feel a responsibility to stay on topic, and will be happier pivoting to things they understand better or find more interesting.

On the other hand, if you are trying to have a deep technical conversation about something you and another expert are working together on, and they can’t stay on topic, there’s a possibility that they aren’t very good at their job. Although, communication is a two way street, and there are probably only a couple people working on your specific problem, so it seems like it would be hard to get a decent enough sample size to figure out which party’s communication skills aren’t up to the task.

Finally there is the case where you are trying to get information from someone who know the problem much better than you. For example, someone who has designed a library that you are trying to use, where they know the internals and you are just trying to figure out the API. In this case, they might decide that they simply can’t describe the API without telling you about internal details that feel, from your point of view, like an expansion of scope and a waste of time. In this case, they might be wrong, but unfortunately it is hard to tell due to the knowledge asymmetry, so there doesn’t seem to be anything to do but go along with them.

Generally a conversation is more productive if everybody knows what everybody else’s incentives and roles are (lots of conversations are just for fun and not intended to be productive, which is probably why we’re used to not really thinking about this before conversing).
It's called choice of law. Happens in US courts all of the time, parents enforcing an out-of-state divorce court parental agreement after they moved, two people from Ohio who got into a crash in Indiana... us enforcing in Florida, a commercial contract drafted under new york law, just some examples of where a court would use law from a different jurisdiction.

Bahamas don't need to send their own attorneys if they don't want to... they aren't necessarily a party to the case. Here, FTX is opting to have a US disposition of the Bahamian bankruptcy code, so what would Bahama have to send attorneys for? In this case, its still adversarial between the creditors and FTX, so there will be parties arguing for the correct application of law.
To be clear, the US is the largest oil producer in the world, and is a net exporter of oil.[1][2] (Shale is a large part of that growth in the last decade)

The US benefits when oil prices increase. If you want to speculate on the geopolitical reasons for this action, it could be to help the allies of the US by driving oil prices down through OPEC production plans. If you want to speculate on the domestic reasons for this, it could be to try to keep gas prices lower at the expense of overall US GDP.

In the end, a brutal dictator gets diplomatic immunity and prestige and the rest of the world averts its eyes to keep its economies well-functioning.

I think this will lead to the end of the petrodollar eventually. The world won't put up with it forever.

I don't live in the US, I have no clear way at all to change how US government agencies deal with data gathered from citizens of my country. I can't even vote there, not that "voting blue/red" would change this mess at all.

It can't be more than a week ago that we discussed here on HN a way that MS Powerpoint can leak your entire presentation to microsoft. Lots of people in my country use the entire MS suite, and I don't think the CIA/FBI/ABCDEFG should have our data.
It's kinda sad though because off the top of my head i suspect it's really difficult to actually lose your work. Ie between the fact that the content store stores.. well, all content, until it's GC'd, and the obvious reflog, you can almost always get back your data.

The downside to this though is the type of novice most likely to make a mistake in "losing" their data will also not know how to recover their data.
That'll only work for a little while longer (for future named big-public-release models, obviously the cat's out of the bag for the current version of stable diffusion), right up until the point where they incorporate the filter into the training process.

At which point, the end model users get to download will be incapable of producing anything that comes close to triggering the filter, and there will be no way to work around it short of training/fine-tuning your own model, which is prohibitively expensive for 'normal' people, even people with top-of-the-line graphics cards like a 4090.
Why are you even asking this? It has to do with mammalian brain pathways that are much much more complex than anyone understands. There's little time for the question at hand - more importantly is COVID responsible? I've done extensive research into Vitamin D and that's probably what you're looking for.

Hopefully this answers your question - pretty spot on I'm assuming.
> Twitter reportedly no longer has a communications department to relay information to the media.

Doesn’t look good.
Having evaluated them --

Road 1: Sale to usual suspects like Palo Alto (though that window is closing due to raising $100M) or Cisco (that window may close if they raise again?). It is basically modern vpn, though will be years with a big enterprise culture reset & a consumer tier for that to become true. They will run out of acquirers soon who would have the incentive to overpay, eg, if they raise more and narrows down to say oracle, ms, apple, and google, not sure why any would buy vs build. Hopefully they will not dip much into the funds so they can cleanly exit without forcing an acquirer to screw over their users. (See: Evernote)

Road 2: IPO and become a platform for bigger stuff... Like end-user-friendly VPN. Who knows, but good luck! Flipping to 'real' enterprise sales and figuring out the consumer tiers are big culture shifts, but luckily... Hireable.

Meanwhile, growing just with more niche/skilled Linux power user teams gets them far -- the compliance checkbox is huge for growth, see Drata and Vanta -- so am not worried :)

Agreed with the OSS concern so we decided against putting them in the critical path of our enterprise offering (a shame!), but as an internal tool, it looks great!
I'm very interested in seeing how Twitter dying shakes out in terms of social media. Frankly, I don't think people "get it" and that includes me. From where I sit no one wants to self-host, no one wants to be advertised to, but no one wants to pay for anything either. As always, one million "alternatives" will be made, they will die one by one in some Squid Game style battle royale and then society will choose one and the cycle continues.
FTX was one of a biggest crypto exchanges (think - stock market), ran by bunch of smooth talking friends/lovers, who were more interested in playing games and Harry Potter than running a company.

They amassed hundreds of millions of dollars in investments, from serious companies (who were impressed by their recklessness) and billions of dollars in deposits from customers. They donated millions to politicians and spent even more on ads (including Super Bowl). They stole those money, and partially pocketed it/moved it to their hedge fund (which they managed on a principle of “you don’t need to know math or finance” and “risk management is dumb”) that lost majority of it and triggered their fall.

They did all of that, while being run with less financial and corporate discipline than a neighborhood dog walking business by a teenager.

You're entire argument is based on a feeling you have of Twitter employees having too much time on their hands?
I think the sons/daughter of the elite (like law school professors) get used to getting away with anything for their small crimes that they forget when they fuck up in a big and public way it becomes a lot more difficult to just sweep it under the rug. My guess is law professor daddy/mommy have bailed him out before and he never got the talk that when he does these things he needs to do it in a way where authorities can at least pretend they didn't see anything.

If you observe SBF behavior it's clear he has an almost kid-like understanding of the world, which speaks of a pretty sheltered existence that can nourish sociopaths.
Even if they can’t establish securities fraud it seems like they have wire fraud based on the deleted tweets alone. Plus whatever internal accounting manipulations he had going on are likely some form of honest services fraud. Plus they were handling some international withdrawals through a front company in California that pretended to be an electronics wholesaler called North Dimension Inc which from what I can tell did not register with FINCEN so they have unlicensed money transmitter and potentially some other fraud because they likely misrepresented the business to banks too. For sentencing you basically get a score that increases with loss amount, increases with whether any victims faced financial hardship (in this case obviously yes), and decreases with things like cooperation and acceptance of responsibility. See https://www.sentencing.us/. But IANAL.
> Is this another case of Google forgetting that people use Go outside of Google, or am I reading too much into this?

Whether or not they are forgetting aside, this is Google’s style guide for code bases in Google. I don’t think non-Google Go programmers were a consideration for them.

On a broader note, it seems as though anytime Google publishes something people interpret it as “industry standard” (see their C++ style guide) and apply it to their non-Google projects. I personally don’t see this as healthy.
> Think of how different the world would be if everybody was controlled by a single unified mind.

It would be terrible. We would lack diversity, society would stratify and get stuck that way forever.

Conflict is bad, but it's also good. Corrupt society should always fall and be renewed by something new and unique, and without such a process we'd land in social quicksand.

Finding the best place for you is a NP hard problem. The number of places for your grows exponentially as humanity does, and then on top of that you have to match every person to all those potential spots. We already have a roughly working system with self discovery.

There's room for improvement, but I don't believe it's scary super exponential, and a lot of the room to improve comes from things we can also access, like the internet.

Duplication runs into the same issue hiveminds do. I'm sure it will prove incredibly useful, but for the tasks humans do nowadays at a high level they'll be somewhat muted. You need diversity.
Hetzner offers a managed product -I'm still on version 24.0.5. The users aren't given the possibility to upgrade or configure the product. For example, I'm not able to turn on the option to create the photo thumbnails.
This is disturbing. Outside of this, I actually deleted the Twitter App from my phone a few weeks ago when I found out they still own a huge part of Twitter.

Yeah as bad as this sounds it's basically just reiterating the existing law.

They are just saying they aren't making a unique exception for this one case that wouldn't normally exist otherwise.
This is the big question. My unironic answer is that there are no shortcuts.

Start your relationship with this practice 15-20 years ago when the ratio was much better, spend time in the Amazon close to the roots of the lineage and build distinctions and understanding.

Second best thing is to know someone who did, and has remained connected through ongoing practice and dietas.

I wish there was a fast and reliable way but there’s so much money to be made and so little understanding that yes, this is a serious issue.

One more thing regarding the article - there’s no “one” ayahuasca tea. Every brew varies - sometimes even when made by the same people in the same place. And, the clear liquid in the article photo is definitely not aya :)
Perhaps I am just dumb... but I'm not following anything you are saying. If Christ had to die to be a sacrifice, how is someone turning him in make it a "plot hole"?? Who else would it occur, just by chance?
> You yourself are missing words in your communication like the word "have" in the quote above. Also, I don't know enough linguistic rules to correct you, but colloquially at least your title is better understood if you write it as "Why do some people not communicate clearly?"

Thanks, corrected the mistakes.

However, I wasn't referring to missing words (which can be inferred) or bad grammar. Actually I wasn't referring to written speech in particular. I was referring mostly to the way one structures their thought and expresses it to someone else.

Also, the question was referring to native speakers (I'm not an English native speaker myself).
Don't know why you're being downvoted without explanation, this is absolutely the case, among others.

Not super well informed on Japanese markets, but my understanding is that their bond markets are extremely dysfunctional (they even have had days where the BOJ is the only buyer on the market!) and this poses considerable financial risk in the system. This is the main factor why they keep their loose monetary policy as far as I can tell.

The key are words like "unsophisticated". Enron was sophisticated, well documented, audited and done with Wall Street firms signing on. They could point to where every dollar had gone. It was an immense fraud, but no one was "unsophisticated".

It is said, and I don't care to find out if this is correct, that those who have tasted human flesh say it is similar to pork.

Humans definitely aren't meant to eat human flesh, regardless of the taste, thus your argument is invalid.

Except the retention on emails, for instance, is usually 7 years. Not exactly the same as auto delete after read... It's an apples to oranges comparison.
