By the way, I prefer this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_Reform_and_the_Psychol...

I think that if you try to compress the information too much, it becomes too abstract and meaningless. Your local library also distinguishes between members and non-members, but it doesn't imply that they slander the former members, or are paranoid about people who buy their own books. Social control can be achieved by different ways; for some reason it seems important that cults use shame as a specific psychological tool. Many cults would strongly object against the words that "truth is a social construct", despite the fact that they use it exactly that way.

There is a social mechanism that seems unusually successful at hacking human brains. It has probably been reinvented many times independently by various abusive people, but some people also copy some behaviors from their previous groups. Lists like this are attempts to describe the mechanism. The individual points are not independent things, but parts of a complex whole, reinforcing each other. For example, it is easier for the group to shame you, after they have convinced you that all your achievements outside the group are worthless. And it is easier to convince you that everything outside the group is worthless, if they falsely exaggerate the value of the group, and then apply black-and-white thinking (our group is miraculous, the world outside is not, therefore the world outside is worthless). Black-and-white thinking comes easier if they convince you that the teachings are super important, so it is important to get them absolutely right. Etc.

I'm sorry to have offended you. I've been a user for under a year compared to you for eleven, so perhaps I haven't discovered all the features of this website that you have. In particular, I never thought to wonder about the text box at the bottom of the page. I always glossed over it while scrolling to the bottom on mobile. I figured this feature might be non-obvious to other users as well, which is why I posted it.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Basically, I never call unless it is urgent, or if he is over 5mins late. I don't call to check on anything at all.

The meetings are basically working meetings, we do meet in person to work on our project for 2 hours a day, it was his suggestions at the first place, and I did like the idea as hell and opted in.

The issue is that we found that we do miss deadlines that we set for ourselves, and this meeting to work together made it less likely that we miss a day without working.

when that happens, it affects my productivity because I get the feeling that it is only me who cares about the project, it kills the motivation, do u get my point?

I would really appreciate your thoughts on how you think I should work on myself on this issue

Don't care what this person says Austin Hope is f'ing good stuff.
"Quality" is a loose term, preference is totally subjective. Most people mix those things up, but there aren't equal. You don't automatically like the "better" wine, or better food. But the trend is the more people know about X (where X = wine in this case), they like "better" X. Where "better" and "quality" has to be defined first.

Typically, if you go down the path of wine education, you first learn a definition of what makes a wine good. WSET [0] e.g. mentions balance, complexity, faults, finish etc as part of what makes a wine "good" (by their definition). If you want to be certified by WSET (Level 3), you have to pass a tasting exam, where you have to examine wines according to their scheme.

Regular people aren't trained in wine or sensory evaluation, thus "quality" means less to them and cheaper wines are often easier to drink, or people are more familiar with them so they like them more (see "mere-exposure effect" [1]).

tl;dr: Liking a wine != the wine is "good". But mixing up those two things make no sense.

Modern ones are reliable. However, I only went with an older "vintage" one as it came up on Kjiji for a good price, and I could resell it once I was done. I don't plan on listening to Vinyl forever.

Isn't immigration nation the program where they showed something like 98% of those going through the legal immigration process to seek asylum being denied and sent back to get hunted down and killed by gangs waiting back home? When they could have came illegally and only had something like 5% chance a year of being caught and removed (and most likely, far less if they dont engage in non-immigration related crime)?

You know anybody in tech jobs working on contract? Did you know they don't verify I-9 for 1099 workers and B2B payments? Did you know about half of illegal immigrants have no high school diploma, yet they make roughly same as American non-high-school graduates?

AS you say California does issue driver license.

The fear of ICE for illegals who are off the record is swapped for other fears when you're legal and on the books. Like the fear I have of CBP (customs/border patrol), who actually served me a search warrant since I'm a citizen with a recorded address who goes through the legal port of entry. Last time I got tossed in a cell for 16 hours and was strip searched, put into medical debt, printed and booked, shackled and cuffed, made to perform bodily functions in front of CBP officers, taken around by prisoner transport van, even though I did nothing wrong -- all because I used the legal port of entry instead of sneaking through the desert. Citizens aren't immune to persecution by our immigration and border apparatus, and unlike illegal immigrant I don't have another nation to fall back on when my own countries immigration system turns tyrannical on citizens like me.

And it's a myth you can't be naturalized if here illegally. People get married and do it all the time.

Yes, burnout is not really about how much you work at all. It's caused by a mismatch between your values and your work. For many people here their values probably include curiousity and wanting to learn. I burnt out almost completely doing work that was easy - but that I totally and utterly despised because of how boring it was (and how little it would advance my career). This was indeed like learned helplessness (not being prepared to quit immediately when I had the means - which was actually at any point (!) - was the learned helplessness part).

In other words, you can burn out at a job that's 12 hours a week and not burn out at a job that's 60 hours a week. It depends heavily on the nature of the work. Whenever people talk about feeling 'burnt out' purely due to how many hours they work I am always sceptical and suspect the root cause is actually different (note that I actually think our work week is too long even at 40 hours, I think too many hours of work are unhealthy for other reasons). In this sense I'd distinguish 'exhaustion' from 'burnout'. The former can turn into the latter but often does not but the root cause of exhaustion is exertion whereas this is not the case for burnout. They can converge, of course, the ultimate result may be severe depression in either case, but it's still worth distinguishing.

Globally, you can effectively divide markets into roughly the 1 billion inhabitants of advanced industrialised nations, largely in North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia/NZ, and the 7 billion others. You could reduce this somewhat to the G7: US, EU, UK, Japan, and Canada, and individually France, Germany, and Italy. Australia and NZ are among the notable exclusions.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G7>

Combined, the G7 have 10 percent of global population (roughly 800 million), whilst accounting for half of global net worth and 32--46% of global GDP.

I'd be reasonably comfortable with some construct based around a core of the G7 underwriting the bulk of global knowledge creation. They already do, though there's notable cultural creation as well in India (Bollywood) and China (no toponym of which I'm aware).

There's the question of independent creation outside the advanced core and how that might best be compensated, especially where those works aren't widely accessed from industrialised countries. I'd still suggest a similar general framework.

But in general: compensation would be within countries or economic unions, paid by residents of those regions to creators within them.

Pre-production financing might be achieved within such a system as well, if production companies or studios were organised as recipients, particularly for large-scale creative works. That ... doesn't seem like a deal-breaker, and there's long-standing precedent in the form of commissioned works, artistic creative organisations (theatres, orchestras, etc.), which have managed long-term sustained funding. Mechanical royalties for any remotely-viewed / streamed productions would seem to offer greater stability and equality of opportunity in such regards.
Awesome! Any plans for a mobile app, or a PWA?
> One of the points he made was that there are absolutely wines which are objectively better and worse and that experts can reliably tell them apart. He had met enough experts who could identify a vineyard and vintage blind to know there was something to it. But sitting on top of that there is a frothy market that is driven by fads, speculation, and hype.

I'm sure there are people that can identify different tastes. I question whether or not those tastes are a sign of objective quality, or just something they've been conditioned to think of as good.

An interesting test would be of people who have never tasted wine before, and have no sense of what a "good wine" is supposed to taste like. But in my experience, most people who aren't used to alcohol will simply find all wine distasteful.

You can actually see this in action when you see different cultures interact. For instance, the baijiu has a similar position in Chinese society as wine does in the West. There's an enormous price range, and a complex range of flavors and aromas. But almost every Westerner I've met found the taste abhorrent when they first tried it (though a small few eventually were able to develop a taste for it).

So though people in different cultures can acclimate themselves to what is currently considered to be good in their culture, I don't think that's the same thing as a certain taste being objectively good.
Thank you. I'll take a look now :)
Assuming a basic 4 bits of entropy per character, then you'd need a 30 character password to have as much entropy as is encoded in your GUID. If they're worried about 122 bits of GUID entropy, but their passwords are shorter than 30 characters, it feels like they misplaced their worry.
What? Of course you will notice a difference. No digital cameras means that everything was on film. More than enough for 4k, maybe less for 16mm.

This has happened to me twice in my career. If you’ve got a nagging feeling, start looking. You could be wrong, and you’ll come out knowing your worth in the market better. You could be right, and you’ll come out with a severance package and a new job lined up.

This can also be a self-fulfilling prophecy. IOW, you can usually spot someone looking for a new job a mile away, especially if they’re new to the industry. Thus if they do “trim the fat” they know you’re prepared and if they have to choose between someone who has a family and obviously not prepared vs. someone who is obviously prepared … they’ll choose the person who can land on their feet.

TL;DR: Be prepared if you feel like you need to, but keep in mind that being prepared for getting laid off might be what gets you laid off.

I like my routine that turns off my entire house when I go to sleep at night, because I'm ADHD and I won't flip off lights or the TV leaving a room as a general rule--especially in the evenings when I'm low-meds. With the recent heat-sensing models, I could even automate them to be presence detecting lights and fix that issue room by room.

I also like being able to sequence the set of several lighting, audio, and video operations that sets my theater room up for various uses. I like being able to quickly check the house temp and tweak the thermostat from the other side of the house. And I like being able to turn whole rooms on and off at once, or to set their light dimness and color for my use of the moment without getting up or fiddling with my phone, etc.

I especially like the routine that does a sunrise wake on my bedroom lights; turns off my brown noise machine a minute before my alarm since sometimes that will peacefully wake me without having to hear the beep; chatters jokes, news, etc, incessantly at me in the morning once I dismiss my alarm to make sure I actually get up; then automatically shifts into whole-house Sirius XM to play hard rock as I start my day.

And say what you want, I like being able to ask the thing over my shoulder what my office fan 5 feet behind me is set to and change that while coding and still looking at the screen, rather than stopping, screwing around with a cheap remote control and trying to see a little LCD from across the room. Like I said, I'm ADHD. If I stop to do that, who knows when I get back on task again.

I agree for simple "turn on a switch" tasks they're way overkill, but for actual automation (and perhaps accommodation) these devices are useful, especially once you start replacing ALL your environmental devices with controllable ones. It's more a question as to whether you can leverage the automation.
Specifically, PredictIt limits positions to $850, while Kalshi limits them to $25,000.

Which is definitely a significant difference, but still seems too small for cases like tmansour’s motivating example (“providing institutions with exposure to, or a hedge against, Brexit”). Though I guess it depends; if you bet $25,000 on a 99:1 long shot, then your position could be worth $2.5 million if it pays off.

(PredictIt also limits each market to 5000 participants, while as far as I can tell Kalshi has no such limit.)
Agreed. I've now realized some of these old records are just not salvageable. So many scratches :(

Versatility of the standard library and ability to write terse programs which achieve a lot. Even if C++ compiled always in under 0.1s, I wouldn’t call it a scripting language, because its standard library is anemic and basic stuff, like finding things in containers, copying things from one container to another, basically anything involving iterators requires such elaborate code that it’s on the opposite side of the spectrum from a scripting language. A scripting language is a tool for quickly performing one-off tasks. Terseness and a rich stdlib are virtues here.
