No, it doesn't, and even if it did: since utilitarianism is much more than "if you want to do something for other people, make sure it's helpful" isn't "utilitarianism reskinned".

But that's besides the point, because it obviously isn't. It feels like that's a hot take that neither cares to understand EA, nor understands utilitarianism and just operates on simplified versions of both. Much like people who understand the categorical imperative to be equivalent to the golden rule.

They certainly have a penchant for randomly crapping on people that don't do things the Officially Supported Way(TM).

I actually like PDF Expert better than Adobe itself. It is easier and more responsive for general editing work.
I wish this got talked about more, Preview is both crazy good and free. You can split PDFs apart, merge multiple different ones into one file, use password protected files, edit and annotate them, add your signature, and so much more. Best of all, it just works, all the time.

I'd have liked it if you had tried.
Thanks. I had looked at that reference originally too but it does a lot of things unrelated to running Docker on WSL 2 and overcomplicates running Docker.

Realistically getting Docker to run on WSL 2 involves running a few standard install steps from Docker for installing Docker and Docker Compose v2 on Linux (such as Ubuntu, Debian or whatever distro you prefer) and then adding a 3 line shell script to your ~/.profile to ensure the init.d based Docker service starts when your WSL 2 process starts -- that's it.

I've been running this set up for months, it's super solid.
Does it, though? I now make more money off of my T bills than I used to working 70 hour weeks for $30K/year, and my accumulation of cash to plow into T bills was not due to hard work or even particularly large amounts of risk.

In fact, in my case, I accumulated capital in spite of my hard work, not because of it.

On the Overwhelming Importance Of Shaping the Far Future

If you are right, I am confident that, at best, there's a small comment about how it might be the case that in some situations, particular people could do more good with resources, and not (as you put it!) that "wealthy people in developed countries deserved aid more than poor people"
For the entire world? How does someone from an office in (say) Morocco checks whether a subpoena equivalent from (for instance) Lybia is legit?
The only difference between the poorest parts of the US and "3rd world countries" is that a (domestic) war upending peoples lives is less likely.

Otherwise? Poverty in the US gets intense real fast
It's perfectly possible to use crypto without centralized exchanges and many people do so. As "centralized crypto" continues to fail, people will use it in a decentralized way more and more. I don't see how the conclusion is "don't use crypto". People seeked simplicity, found out there is no free lunch - that doesn't mean they will throw the baby out with the bathwater.
I think it is but I'm the CEO so don't trust me.

There are handful of competitors out there; I've heard mixed things and am obviously very biased. They do handle some things better than us, but on balance I think our product is more battle tested and reliable.

We are also getting ready to roll out a very significant update to our underlying abstractions with the release of our developer API sometime in early 2023 that I think will put us far out and ahead.

If you're at the just getting started stage, I have no hesitation saying to go with us, we've got 20k other apps using RC today and another 200 going live every week. We won't charge you anything until your app makes $10k/mo.

I think what they meant is to configure proxying all possible telemetry via this service, and enforce anonymisation. Sounds good imho. I'm trying to disable telemetry but it's always a losing game, each version adds something new to each app.
> The whole thing was a hijack by ponzi schemers or just another way to get someone to get their life savings into some crypto nonsense.

Speculating on 'crypto' can indeed be considered nonsense.

Owning your identity (instead of Google) and being able to communicate and send money directly to your peers for almost free (instead of Facebook / Twitter controlling who youcan communicate with, and Visa / Wise.com taking a chunk of all your transactions) is a MASSIVE deal.
Just to update my comment so that readers don't get the wrong idea: I went back and tested it again today. It's a lot faster than when I tried it. I still have things like "Fetching user count..." for groups that never seems to update, though.
Epigenetic age reduction world record
If you have a parking lot you don't have to have a location in every suburb. People will just drive over from neighboring suburbs when they want falafel.

This is also why you don't see restaurants by office parks - if you want to serve the business lunch crowd, it's better to be by something like a Costco with a big parking lot that's mostly empty on weekdays instead of an office park that's all parked-up at lunchtime. Even absent parking-lot efficiencies, it's probably just optimal to be equidistant from all the office parks instead of next to one.

That's the challenge you face, really - out in the suburbs most people would rather drive 12 minutes than walk 7. I think people just see walking as a way to be cold and struggle to carry heavy things, so fuck it.

I think PDF Xchange is the most feature rich for what I use it for. You do have to buy once to unlock all functionality, but a very large amount is available in the free version.
Stuff people don't know about Preview.app:

- Paste images that were copied to the clipboard. Just open Preview and press CMD-N

- Split, re-arrange and merge PDF documents. Just drag pages into the sidebar

- Sign documents. Click the annotation button in the menu bar, sign either on touchpad, ipad or hold an ink signature on paper into the webcam.

- OCR (new with macOS ventura). Just click/drag/double-click on text in images.

What more did I forget?
On Linux: zathura, evince, okular for viewing. I don't know of a friendly GUI tool for editing PDFs, but combinations of imagemagick and tools such as pdfunite work well. A bit off-topic, but nomacs and imv are nice for images.
> In antiquity it was more what we might call street food

In context, though, the original commenter considered things like street hotdog vendors to be fast food. That is not unlike the kind of delivery you would find in antiquity, even if the actual food product differed.

> What really defines fast food is mass production and uniformity.

Technically, what really defines a term is how it is used in a certain context and how it works towards reaching a shared understanding, which was achieved with the original use of fast food found in this thread. You are right that the definition that emerged here does not align with definitions found in other contexts, but those other contexts are irrelevant to this particular context.

Good Conscience is liberating.

Humans really are afraid to be punished, they've all been kids at some point, the fear of being bad is deeply ingrained.

In practice, the more important and beneficial part is to be seen as good by others. If someone can convince enough people, they will have little doubts about themselves.

As a rule, I consider any advertisement of virtue as suspicious.

> Humans deceiving humans via technology is a tale as old as time. Plato imagined human torch-bearers manipulating those chained in the cave. He didn't imagine machines doing it autonomously.

And despite a substantial subset of the population knowing this, we continue to do nothing to address it - if anything, more people are devoted to giving people even more powers to deceive at massive scale.

> Incarnate technology deceiving humans is a different domain entirely. Human motivations are ultimately comprehensible by other humans.

Whether they are accurately comprehensible is another matter though.

> But what do I know of the motivations of (for example) the Bible? What happens when the living incarnation of a holy text can literally speak for itself? Or when the average believer thinks it can?

I am far more worried about the delusions of Normies, as they are 95%+ of society and are for the most part "driving the bus", whereas schizophrenics account for a small percentage, and tend to not be assigned many responsibilities.

I have definitely come to the conclusion, especially after doing a lot of work in Typescript, that class Optional is a big mistake, whether from the JDK or other libraries that preceded it.

First, because exactly the type of code that the parent commenter showed. I've actually seen this in production code (and shrieked). The fact is that without language-level support, you can end up getting the worst of all worlds.

Second, like all things in Java along the lines of "why use 1 character when 10 will do?", the Optional syntax is verbose and annoying to use.

But, most importantly, the fundamental issue is that all classes are optional by default in Java (indeed, that's the problem at hand). Adding an Optional class doesn't really mean you can make any non-nullability assumptions about other classes, especially when using different libraries. The Optional class just added more complexity while simplifying very little.

2028: Adobe requires additional fees to display vowels.
I just started rewatching The Expanse and I had forgotten about the amount of casual nationalism (racism but by planet) is in the first season. This is making me feel things post-pandemic that I didn’t feel so strongly before.

The Belters see Earthers as the head of the snake. The Martians jeer at them for being listless, directionless planet destroyers on the dole.

The thing is that there may be a solution for UBI that also reduces the planet destroyer aspect, and that’s to claw back mineral rights and charge companies for their extraction. From land, from water, or just to burn the air. This treats the Physical wealth of the US as something owned by her citizens, who are entitled to recompense for the consequences of exploitation.

It’s not without its flaws, because getting paid more tends to make people want to say yes, but right now there isn’t even a question you own the rights you can do whatever you want and skip to the bank feeling safe about externalization of the risks. The government is your personal janitor.

Do you really have a significant idea or just frustrated with the monotony in the current job? Startups have a high failure rate. You will also have issues attracting funding in the current economy. Even is your wife didn’t know hiding this fact from her isn’t healthy for a good relationship.

If you do one just make sure you’ve got enough financial independence and most importantly an idea that folks think is significant. Are people willing to pay for what you plan to develop? How much time will that take away from family? Can you get funding through an accelerator? What sort of a financial hit are you going to take? Is your family onboard with it?

If your wife has a well paying job and is secure in her work she may be on onboard with limping on a single salary until you hit pmf (or get to a point where you understand there isn’t one).

In the end it’s about financial independence and time your family demands from you.
There's still an important distinction between "the semantic web" and "a bunch of cryptocurrency fuckery", both of which have been termed "Web 3" at times.

When I hear this sentiment I'm always completely baffled, because it sounds like the person expressing it lives in some other world than I do. No country that I know of allows you to collect unemployment benefits forever. You get maybe 1-2 years to find a new job, and after that they leave you on your own. This usually means homelessness. As a homeless person, you might get some food, but many starve and freeze. By no means is that a secure existence.
(yes, FTX is centralized finance).

All finance is centralized. De-centralized finance really doesn't exist --- crypto is just the latest example of this.

Before any crypto transaction who do the buyer and seller both turn to for a "fair market value" ? A *centralized* exchange.

The crypto market is controlled by companies like FTX. This still holds true even if you don't deal directly with these companies. Money equates to influence and control and crypto is no exception.

> "definitely will cause a lot of people to fall further down a vice trap", "UBI is very much a fringe policy prescription"

Unfortunately, I think these two things are working against each other. Regardless of the hypothetical virtues of UBI, I am increasingly certain that our political powers that be see it as a primo-grade mechanism for creating dependence, and they like dependent people. They do as they are told. I expect UBI to rapidly leave "fringe" status in the relatively near future for precisely this reason.

I think anyone reading my little post here who fancies themselves a UBI advocate should take some time to do a red-team attack on a society using UBI and consider the possible outcomes with the real politicians we have, rather than hypothetical ones. However wonderful a well-administered UBI run by caring, selfless politicians may be, the more I think about it the more it's handing the keys to eagerly-worn iron collars to our political class.

I have an Acrobat Pro 7.0 license I paid for years and years ago. I have a single use case: I scan a lot of vintage computer manuals as a hobby. Pro offers fine control over compression options. Acrobat has been nagging me for more than a decade to register it (though I registered it when I bought it). A couple of times I've had computer crashes or migrations and getting 7.0 reinstalled on the new machine was a pain.

It galls me to think they want $500 for me to buy Pro again when I don't need or want any of the new features. I just want the existing functionality I paid for to continue working.

Do any of the alternatives have similar fine control of compression options that Acrobat Pro exposes? I'd switch in a heartbeat.
I think you have to separate nullable types from the global nullable directive. The global nullable directive will just make people return nonsense like the trend some years ago when people started to return empty lists instead of null.
