> If your problem is that you are unjustifiably negative, then maybe chanting positive things to yourself will help.

Not sure if I'm misreading you or if you misread me, but my comment was not a defense of positive affirmations. I don't believe that positive affirmations will help with the necessary mental reframing needed to combat deeper emotional trauma and mental health struggles.

That said, I'm not convinced by this:

> I think the problem facing most people is having standards they see others meet that they do not.

If someone feels badly enough about not meeting a standard that those feelings rise to the level of a problem, then I agree that positive affirmations probably won't help, but meeting the standard isn't necessarily a panacea either.

Taking your example, if someone thinks "I should be married by now", there's presumably some kind of deeper emotion behind that. If that feeling is within a normal range and the person can manage it effectively, then it may motivate them to work harder to find a relationship and settle down, but in that case it wouldn't be reasonable to call it a problem.

On the other hand, if they have a stronger feeling like "All my friends are married but me. They must think I'm pathetic." or "I keep getting older but nobody wants to date me. What if I'm just doomed to be alone forever?", then this is much more likely to be problematic. This kind of feeling might motivate them to settle for a relationship that doesn't make them happy, to move more quickly than they're comfortable with, to do things that go against their own needs, to stay in the relationship even in the face of problems, etc. just to try and meet that standard.

In this latter case, the standard isn't the issue, but it's tied to the deeper issue. The standard is the focus in the person's mind because it feels like the truth, but their mental framing is also biased in a way that prevents them from seeing their underlying motivation, and thus from resolving the true problem.

For example, the person who feels pathetic for being the only unmarried person in their friend group likely has deeper confidence issues that won't be addressed by marriage alone, even if their partner is supportive. Likewise, the person who fears being alone forever may temporarily alleviate that fear through marriage, but they'll also probably come to fear their partner leaving them, leading only to more anxiety and distress.

Lots and lots of people get by with unstable burst-y incomes like this.

Those of us with well-paid salaried jobs have a luxury we easily take for granted.
It's $600 because they likely don't keep it in stock anywhere nearby, and they only had a few in existence. For those you're better off going to a junk yard and getting one from the same brand vehicle.
I feel like I must have some sort of different personality type from those with these comments having one or perhaps even more than one "voice" in their head that talks to them
It's been a looong while since I've used them, but I found I was able to get a quick response to my issue through their subreddit. Not sure if the subreddit is still an effective avenue today, but it may be worth a try if you want to close this out.

Good luck.

I don't think there is any book I've read as an adult that was particularly special. If I wasn't already good at math, I wouldn't be reading these books in the first place. Not that there weren't good and helpful books, but I wouldn't say any of them were revolutionary to me.

But I'd like to mention two books I read as a child which had a life-altering effect. They probably wouldn't do any good for an adult, but might really help your kids... Unfortunately, I don't remember the specific titles or authors (I was probably around 10 yrs old). The first was similar to this book:

"Speed Math for Kids: The Fast, Fun Way To Do Basic Calculations." This gave all sorts of advice and tips to quickly do math in your head... simple things, mostly. For example, to multiply by 18 just double, multiply by 10, and subtract 10%; or how it's frequently faster to multiply numbers by moving from most significant digits to least, which is opposite of how we're taught; or how to quickly estimate square roots. This really didn't teach new concepts, but by making routine and tiresome math operations faster and easier, it made the entire field more enjoyable to engage with.

The second book was a guide to slide rulers, and I couldn't even find a similar book on Amazon. But learning advanced slide ruler techniques can trigger an epiphany; you learn mathematical relationships, how you can transform how numbers are represented. It was the first time I really saw an elegant structure behind the math.
Injuries per item picked is obviously the inferior of the two, and fairly poor on its own as well.

Just a hopefully clarifying note: A complaint, which we've already seen, is an initial charge, not a formal charge. This release pertains to the formal charge.
The reason all the stock market charts you see start in 1926 is because they come from CRSP data, which starts in 1926.

If you are a student at a university almost anywhere in the world that offers an MBA or other advanced degree in business or finance, it subscribes to the CRSP data service with 95+% probability. If you are an engineering or a CS student, the university contract covers you! You'll probably have to talk to someone over at the business school, but they'll get you access for all your ML research needs!

The main advantage over other data providers is that they publish their methodology and formulas, and have a full-time staff dedicated to data quality. Oh, and they're cheaper than everyone else (it's a service run by the University of Chicago instead of a for-profit corporation), so it has become the default academic data source. If you publish research using some other data, colleagues will want to know why.
> Amazon is trying to find money wherever it can

Not really. Amazon is spending more cash on english language TV and movies than Netflix. It's also acquiring it's way into... health care?

All of the things that make money at Amazon are related to the core e-commerce biz (ads, subscriptions, marketplace) or some core competency developed to support e-commerce (AWS). They have no competitive advantage in providing medical care, making movies, or household gadgets.

Big tech is struggling with the idea that their business is maturing and will be less exciting from here. It's a tough pill for hot shot founders/managers to swallow.
Instead of Google Authenticator, I use Twilio Authy. It syncs the 2FA code across my devices. I keep a backup device at home.

Sure, it's not the most secure way but I trust this over carriers securing my number.

I'm trying to push adoption of 1Password in my workplace, and one of the things that drives me crazy about Google's sign-in process is that they obfuscate the 2FA functionality behind two confusingly-named links.

First they present 2FA via the Google Mobile app, and you have to click "Try another way", which makes it feel like something has already gone wrong.

Then they give you the option to the Google App again, to get an SMS message, to use a backup code, or to use "Google Authenticator".

So my instructions to a would-be 1Password user are: Sign in with your email address and password, click "Try another way", and then click "Use Google Authenticator", but don't actually use Google Authenticator; use 1Password.
As of today I have permission to make public my somewhat mischievous entry in the year-long world-wide stock and ETF forecasting contest … the sixth major M-competition in a storied history stretching back to 1982.

The intent of my entry was to turn the contest from a “model versus model” into a “market versus model” battle. Or if you like, a battle between the contest community and the community of a different kind that makes options markets efficient. You can call this contest highjacking if you want, or just “exogenous data”.

Nothing we know about anything rules out the possibility that we might later learn something new that shows differently. But we can only make informed decisions based on what we do know, because the unknown is infinite. In the end, most occurrences in the world are just as plain as they appear.

> So, only the naive would rule it out entirely based on only self-serving public narratives.

I don't technically disagree, but it is also just as naive to ignore our human proportionality bias and discount the relative probability of the available evidence.

Also done with Coinbase, took all my funds out finally last week. They were arbitrarily blocking the movement of my assets.

Every time I would log in to transfer some cryptocurrency to another wallet, it would fail and an error message would say I was blocked.

Then I'd call support, get a human on the phone and they would not be permitted to tell me why, and claim there is nothing they could do - I had to wait 14 days until it was lifted.

So I waited a month, and tried again. SAME thing.

I call support and get the same reply - need to wait 14 days.
I managed to get support guy to give me the exact timestamp which the block was automatically set. It coincided with either my login or my transfer attempt.

So they are just trying to prevent assets from leaving Coinbase with opaque reasons.

I waited another month and before I logged in I got support on the phone.

"Is there a block on my account?"

"no"

"Ok so i'm going to login now and transfer this asset to my own wallet elsewhere. Can you see a reason why this would be blocked?"

"no"

logs in, transfers assets

Then I tried to get all my USD cash back to my bank account. I'd click their OWN BUTTON which says "all funds" or whatever, and withdraw to my attached bank account - Denied, insufficient funds.

Called support, they said "there's a fee, you need to reduce the amount you're trying to transfer". So I did to simulate, and got to the next screen - there is no fee! OF course, this is my money. I want 100% of it back.
But whenever I listed 100% of the value, it would be denied.

Support stuck to her story of there being a fee, even though there isn't.

I rounded off the cents, and whole dollar value worked. They can keep the change.

In both of these cases, the human on the phone presented an immoveable wall to getting access to my own significant assets with no reason (or the wrong one) and no hope for alleviating it. NEVER AGAIN will I trust them with my money. In fact, I'm incredibly suspicious of any new company handling large amounts of my money. I'm sticking with banks/brokers that have decades experience.

I'm not responding to the main thrust of the article. As I said, I believe the ads in question should be banned. I'm responding to this part of the organization behind it as written in the article:

> In its press release, Global Witness seems to suggest that Facebook is not taking the Brazil attacks as seriously as the social platform took the US attacks last year when the company implemented “break-glass measures” to prevent civil unrest from spreading on Facebook.

It is not actually Meta's responsibility to stop civil unrest. Companies shouldn't be in the business of telling the populace how to respond to their government, and insofar as they fail to meet this ideal, democratic watchdogs should not be blessing this unholy alliance of corporations and government.
Facebook is not asked to stop or promote civil unrest as a nebulous category. It is asked to police content based on actual content of messages in question.
I'd say that's incorrect, to the vast majority of Americans "liberalism" means left/progressive, that's simply what the word has evolved into in the mainstream. You use "classical liberalism" when you mean "classical liberalism" unless you're talking to some kind of economic historian or libertarian pedant and it has more context.

> >You have no right to someone else's property

> This is totally false in every sense.

Every sense huh? Seems that's a bit overstated. Your rights to others property is extremely limited, and your example of a protected group does not apply to most groups. I can kick out everyone with last name starting with "A", anyone over 5'6", all left handed people, kids, blue eyed people, in fact, the majority of groups I can think of are perfectly bannable from all sorts of properties.

Very few groups (9 under Federal Law, maybe 10 if newer Genetic Material laws end up fitting) have special exemptions as a class to prevent this. It is in no way a concept that applies to any group except protected classes. These classes are given extra rights that do not apply to everyone.

And it does apply to my property. I can kick out all of any group from my house or car. Because they have no rights to that property.
> But yeah, this is why I dislike 2FA. There are clear security benefits, but it comes with the extreme downside of "what you know is not sufficient".

But that's not even the problem here. OP has the "what you have". Just because the secondary authentication device is made of paper doesn't mean it's any less valid. But google is rejecting it and demanding the lost device.
Thanks for the reply! I does give me a bit more security when taking this decision
Honestly I'm surprised they're doing this; something must have bit them on the paperwork side, because $100-$200 for each tiny charity (think local dog shelter, local church, etc; even if they're 'branded' they're often independent charities) was a cheap advertisement for Amazon. Now that's over.
You can't actually access your 1pw vault from wherever if you don't have an existing authenticated device or a copy of your secret key. That's intended to provide added security in case your master password is compromised. So to guard against the house burning down situation you need to either keep a printout of the secret key somewhere else (friend's house, bank box, etc.) or save it somewhere (secure) online where you can get it without using 1pw.
It's even got runes.

Similar experience here. Tried to open an account. Took two weeks sending verifications and what not. Gave up and opened an account with Kraken. Took half an hour. Everything works like clockwork over there.

I had an account with Coinbase back in 2015. It was a humble simple exchange: ACH in, BTC out and vice versa. What happened? IPO happened. You can't sell humble simple exchange to stockholders, you must be Masters of the Universe.

Does it make a noticeable difference? I quit coffee once for a month or two (it's been a while) and only had 2 days of very mild headaches. After that, didn't notice anything except that I REALLY missed the taste of coffee :) And the ritual.

I didn't notice anything when going back on coffee, either, I don't think it makes me more "productive" or focused or anything. I just like the taste.
I agree. Matt and his team are very active in the community helping others implement Prosody and make use of XMPP. He even took the time to provide me with helpful feedback a few years ago[1] when I took my first steps with XMPP.

Yep. It's a scheme to make sure the only guaranteed way to avoid being locked out of your accounts is to sign up, and pay monthly, for a Microsoft/Google/Apple service. That's why all the recovery options are completely glossed over. It's because their solution is "pay us".
But isn't this the other way around? Like, they should ban platform X or Y, but make sure that the website respects the privacy laws. I don't think it's even fair to single out specific companies, each website owner should do whatever they want and make sure themselves that are respecting the law. The law can't say platforms X and Y are banned, and the webmaster simply goes with the recently released platform Z that is yet to be banned.

I think that user data should never be sent to any third party without explicit user consent, but first-party data storage should be allowed if it used for legitimate business interest (e.g. improving the product usability, performance or stability).
A lot of what NGOs, foundations, and other philanthropic organizations do is seek to mold things in some way that is beneficial to the founders with tax advantaged money.

Rich people don't get rich by giving their money away randomly. For example, if Bill Gates didn't start the Gates Foundation his money would have been highly taxed, and he would have lost control of it. By starting the Gates Foundation he keeps control of that money, and he can use the foundation to steer policy in ways that are beneficial to him.

My primary criticism is that it took me several minutes to see a chart. The exposition is very interesting. I don't judge a paper by its cover, but it kinda took a lot of work to read something that was described as visual!

Is there a nuance to this publishing process that makes this make sense?
Using the file system, but combining multiple json files into a single file might be an option.

- Open ‘current.json’ for append,
- write the new json,
- check file size,
- if it’s over a threshold (say 100MB):
- rename file (use UUID or timestamp)

Your tooling would have to support that, of course (writing each json in a single line might be needed)
And, if the tower is open, you have to acknowledge the latest ATIS report (by signifying the revision) before you can go.

This kind of articles have weak metaphysical grounding, that's why there's room for so many "yes, but"s after them: "be yourself" <=> yes, but not if you are a blonde depressed suicidal addict.

Consider the first sentence, a rhetorical question: "Have you ever doubted yourself?"—who is this you so promptly assumed. If giving advice meant to impact the entire present and future life of an agent, one should at least wrestle a bit with the plethora of concepts taken for granted, unless one is writing another Dictionary of Received Ideas [1]. In this aspect, you doubting you, perhaps the perspective from Jeff Hawkins' A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence is more luminating: of course you would doubt yourself because in actuality there is a you_1 who doubts you_2 and currently you_1 is overpowering you_2 in the vote of all the other yous. Maybe you don't have an inner critic, maybe you have 999 inner critics. In this light, a question such as "have you ever doubted yourself" would look more like "why is the current you still the dominant aspect, still winning the vote of all the other yous, of who/how you could be in the space of all the yous".

> Diophantus, in Arithmetica, c. 280 AD, was claiming that the equation 4x + 20 = 4 doesn't have any solutions/is absurd. So, the square root is more than 600 years older than negative numbers in the Hellenistic tradition.

The gap is much wider than that; double-entry bookkeeping speaks of "credit" and "debit" (defined to be exactly the same concept as positive and negative numbers) because negative numbers were still nearly unknown to Europeans in the 15th century.

> This is called "sniping", where an individual jumps the queue and snaps up products in limited demand for their own personal gain and consequently, to the detriment of others.

This reminds me of Utility Monsters[0]. From Wikipedia:

> the utility monster, receives much more utility from each unit of a resource that it consumes than anyone else does. For instance, eating a cookie might bring only one unit of pleasure to an ordinary person but could bring 100 units of pleasure to a utility monster.

I'm a utility monster, and shops and convenience stores either love or hate us (since the monster consumer derives a skewed amount of utility from certain items). Some stores deliberately up their prices on certain items if they see utility monsters taking advantage, other times, they let the price remain stagnant, in full knowledge the utility monster brings them good business.
