"Fohn" is an English word directly derived from "foehn".

I am from none of those places, speak no relevant languages other than English, and I had no trouble with the phrase in question.

I appreciate your effort in trying to stick up for me, though (:
Perhaps if you want to be more helpful for those people who do conform to your assumptions, you could share a definition, in addition to your criticism.

"Fohn, an Englosh derivate of 'foehn', means 'a warm, dry wind', and is known for being particularly effective at melting snow."

That just filters out the blatent obvious gold diggers. The smarter, less obvious ones, who have googled your net worth are going to go undetected for way too long, and by then you're emotionally invested, and potentially married, possibly with kids. So pretending to be poor when you're happy with what you have, is not the worst strategy.

You are in fact agreeing with what I said, in that we do experience peace and joy whenever we manage to lessen some of our cravings (and overcoming a state of depression is an especially clear example of this). But very few people hold freeing themselves of their spiritual fetters as their fundamental goal in life, and even fewer manage to achieve this. Thus, there is clearly a way in which life is synonymous with suffering, at least as a default state that we are all mired in from birth.
If WeWork goes out of business and closes down, many people will lose their jobs and many people will lose the place where they work. That seems like something of value will be lost.

Yes, coworking is still going on for many sole proprietors, small teams, and remote workers. Remote work does not mean work from home.

Thanks a lot, and it's really great to hear that you're interested in reading a full PPU writeup! This is the first time these posts have been in the public eye, so it's really encouraging for me. I'd definitely like to go back and flesh out that post, and more so now that you've inquired.

I understood America to be the name of the continent (i.e. The Americas) and "United States of America" to be the name of a country. What term would you use to refer to residents of North America or residents of both North and South America?

("United States of America" implies the existence of other, non-united states of America, which I interpret as all the other countries within the America continent)

Again, I totally disagree.

A vast majority of humans experience peace and joy.

A vast majority of humans also experience suffering.

Why then say "life is synonymous with suffering", and not "life is synonymous with all the manifold experiences that comprise it"?

When I'm on vacation my stress is reduced to the point where my 'appetite' drops, and this is despite the fact that I'm increasing my exercise load enormously (surfing, hiking, etc...)

I've noticed that stress causes me mild stomach pain, which can register as hunger. It also causes dry mouth which registers as thirst. If you're satisfying that thirst with sugary drinks long term, then you're going to be in trouble.

There is also so much novelty and more interesting stuff going on while on vacation that I don't find myself poking through the fridge out of boredom.

<< Anon for $reasons >>.

As someone that has attempted suicide in the past (some with a lot of motivation to get right, obviously failed since I am not a ghost-writer <pun intended>) it kinda shocked me that this wasn't a more commonly held 'water is wet' as the reason for people to try to end their suffering.

Sure, there are some who feign their attempts for various reasons but there are those that find a way of acheiving the (at the time) welcoming bliss of quiet and silent oblivion, whatever that helds or may not hold.

To this day, I reserve the right to decide when, how or even if I ever again attempt suicide. That is my right.

I have also seen the impact that suicides have on the ones that knew and perhaps cared about the dead person so I am aware of the suffering that would echo out from my decision.

As a parent, I am also aware that the chances of a child attempting suicide following a parent doing it sky-rocket so - ouch.

But ask yourself this before judging.... just how bad would the pain in your life have to be that despite all of the above things it can still be an actual option because the suffering is so unbearable... Walk a mile in a mans Shoes as they say, YMMV.

Please note: I am not currently suicidal and am doing really well as per last shrink so High-Five etc. Just wanted to add my 0.02c to the thread.

Should people quote DFW as an authority given his suicide?

Using metaphors of physical reality for psychological states can make it falsely appear more immutable that it is. It is possible to escape the burning buildings of the mind and knowing that you have agency over your ideas can be an essential part of the reframing/rethinking/challenging that can free you from suffering.

Letting people believe they are in a situation like floor 100 of the WTC and their flesh is literally burning with no escape could be outright harmful and irresponsible for those experiencing suicidal ideation.

Why the actual heck doesn't this still exist????? Mouse technology seems to have stagnated. Some tasks I suspect could have at least 5% time savings with some better aim assist. Almost all games would benefit from textures.

There are probably dozens of things a mouse would have if they kept pace with other tech.

Where's the heart rate sensor so games can have stress level mechanics? The tiny screen so you can pick it up and use it as a remote? The little camera for QR and barcodes? The NFC reader and qi charging?

I applaud the researchers in their quest, but we do have bleach right now.

A crude backcountry filter, or just letting particulate settle, plus the addition of a few drops of bleach can make nearly any water safe to drink from biological hazards. Bleach can be easily made onsite from abundant salt and electrolysis.

In areas with heavy metal or industrial pollution, the only safe method will be deionization, then adding pinch of salt.
> If WeWork goes out of business and closes down, many people will lose their jobs and many people will lose the place where they work.

Why? Assets don't usually just vanish; they merely change hands. The spaces will physically be there. If an individual space is viable and has existing customers then the creditors will sell it to someone who will likely continue to run it. If it is not viable then it will go, but then it's hard to argue it had value.
It seems that solar energy has gotten real cheap in recent years, especially in places without clouds and rain (deserts).

So maybe that will work out in the end if the economics make water expensive enough to trade energy for water.
The question stands: are there any taxi-like systems that work like that? Traditional taxies certainly did not employ their drivers and pay them a wage, they were still very much working for their fares.

I live in Europe and buy my Chinese-made keyboards from Amazon, US. In the company I work for, I have not seen a single keyboard with "European" layout. People who buy those keyboards aren't people who need to be good at using their editor, while on the other hand, people who want to be good at using their editor will buy a keyboard that works well with it.

Keyboard is a one-time investment of 20-200 Euro, but learning to use your editor efficiently is an investment of years of your life... amplified by the fact that there aren't that many good editors. So, any person who needs to work with the editor on a daily basis will have to make a choice between buying a keyboard that works well with that editor or a keyboard that allows them to type Euro / Pound sign more easily... And nobody in this situation is going to choose the keyboard that doesn't work well with the editor.
Wait, no more.
Wish I could say this headline didn't hit home. Not gonna commit suicide, but I sure do fantasize about dying every waking moment. Living in constant pain for over a decade'll do that to ya… Rather be non-existent than exist in a state of such misery as to make living genuinely impossible.
Yes I know, and I am a huge proponent of GCd languages as there really are only a tiny handful of cases where having a GC would be a problem.

But this is out of context here, where we are talking about a language whose explicit design goal is to manually manage memory without a GC. In that respect, COW wouldn’t fit the rest of the design criteria of the language, which was my point.
A packaged life? How is it horrifying? As if someone knows what I want better than I do?

I wake up everyday and it's a "choose your own adventure" day for me. Why would I want everything pre-configured. How could I adapt to changing circumstances if I'm locked in for the next X weeks or years on some package.

No the offices will be bought by someone else. The coworking lease will be cheaper. Most of the jobs will be preserved. Everyone will be happy except WeWork investors.
It’ll be replaced with other short-term, small commitment office space leasing providers. Some will surely be less efficient, meaning more people are employed in total.

Coworking will continue even as the providers of it come and go.
I think maybe in Taiwan and China semiconductor engineers are earning a good salary, especially China when government is dumping insane amount of $$ into it. But there is a lot of hype though.
I think those are different, because they are frequent small transactions where having a smooth flow is essential. Renting an office is a longer term relationship so a marginal improvement in transaction cost doesn't really move the needle in the same way.
Not a particularly high risk so long as you get suspicious skin changes checked out. Melanoma has an incredibly good prognosis so long as it's caught early, and unlike most cancers you have a very good chance of catching it early with adequate vigilance.
Are you discounting the person who chose euthanasia’s experience with it by saying that though?
Have you got any particular evidence? We could hypothecate that God made them, that isn't really science though.
Not really. For example there’s a pretty noticeable difference in the amount of wealth a society will have if they choose to build 890,721 intricate snowmen on the island of Manhattan instead of housing, power plants, and infrastructure.

Passion is definitely not what distinguishes the very top classical musicians with the tier below.

At the very high end it’s talent, recognisable brand, and having something to say to the world.

At the very top, everybody works hard, but only a few are selected to have solo careers.
My advice is; if the system doesn't work for you, stop supporting it... Instead, try to reform it. If you know it's impossible for you to win the game, you need to focus all your energy on changing the game. It probably won't work out, but at least the probability is not 0.

> I was almost nuked from the orbit and all of the perceived faults were vehemently defended

You might also just describe perception biased here too.

If I take Italy as an example, you might get "nuked from orbit" (from an eastern European perspective) just because you said your pizza looks better than the one of your friend next table.

And that has nothing with a "lack of self criticism". It is just how basic social interaction are there.

Arguments/spicy conversation are the norm in some culture. Not the exception.

The conclusion is: Behavior study is hard because your perception of "the norm" is always relative to your culture.

I don't like agile stuff much, but I love user stories. They let you start thinking deeply about the UI for a feature before you do anything else.

That way, you don't wind up implementing a data model that doesn't map nicely to a UI.

Look at old KiCad with it's feedforward pipeline approach full of manual "finish and move to the next tool" compared to other apps. Core functionality and user experience aren't always easy to separate. Starting with user stories lets you design the core of the app in a way that won't constrain the UI or require nasty piles of hacks to get 5he results you want.

They also make edge cases more likely to jump out, in a story it's easy to see steps where stuff could go wrong, as opposed to a requirement that isn't like a story, which might be described in a more isolated way and not connected to other features, and not reveal the issues you might have at the interfaces.
There were a couple of factors why it took a week:

1. We wanted to avoid downtime, so the pg dump was slowed down because it was happening alongside production use of the db

2. We abuse postgres in a couple of ways (too many large json columns) which makes it harder to export and import

3. We were moving between cloud regions and cloud providers.

4. I'm a bit of a database ops noob (part of why supabase was appealing in the first place) so I had to learn how to do all these things. Like burggraf said, a lot of that week was planning, trial and error, test runs, mistakes that would cost full days, etc.
Tempe, AZ is an awesome place. I wish I lived there again, I'd be biking close-by South Mountain all the time.
They have different models. WeWork gets a long-term lease for a property, refurbishes it and subleases it to tenants.

Neo taxi and food delivery companies are just matching apps that connect sellers with buyers and, in case of taxis, set prices.

Adding or removing a new service provider doesn’t have as much sunk costs as leasing a giant office space for several years.
Didn’t EA go to court with Sega over exactly this? I believe the court said using a trademark as a device to prevent access to a device was not applicable.
It's about a chap in Holland that was a recidivist alcoholic, who took advantage of the Dutch Euthanasia laws, to end his life.

There's really no way to put a positive spin on it. It sucks, no matter what opinions we hold on the matter.

The laws aren't the issue. If someone really wants to end things; they will. I have seen it many times, and alternative means can be absolutely devastating to the survivors.
It is just an artifact of the Euclidean distance. If one tries a different metric, the story would be different. It should not be that surprising.
I think you're confusing text documents like PDF or word .doc(x) type files for "plain text". Plain text doesn't contain hidden anything at all. It's just plain text and nothing else. That's why a plain text editor is completely different from Microsoft Word, or OpenOffice. They both edit textual document types, but a plain text editor doesn't do metadata, fancy fonts, colors, styles, or any of the fun junk you find in PDF and other textual document types. It does only text.
One new theory is that the new VC model, as postulated in Venture Predation [0] is to create the illusion of potential to success so that you can dump your shares on the market at a sky high price. After that, VCs don't care if the company loses $50B in value, they already had their exit.

I can drink to that. No singular test is going to give a complete picture.
This is not an argument that suffering is valuable, it's that drug-seeking behaviours are a symptom of poor psychology / life-fulfilment.

The fear is that by removing symptoms, we no longer find it important to address the root cause. The symptoms should be treated as a warning signal. It sounds dystopian to make poor psychology and poor life-fulfilment a consequence free norm.
Looks like the key difference is that there are no corporate-generated unique/scarce items (that increase in value) as everybody is able to create everything themselves.
> Why then say "life is synonymous with suffering", and not "life is synonymous with all the manifold experiences that comprise it"?

Because it's important to fully empathize with those who have not yet learned to view pain as merely one of "all the manifold experiences that comprise" life. It's good that you understand this more spiritually sound perspective but to most people, suffering (meaning the innumerable cravings and spiritual addictions that we are all subject to as part of living) is kind of a Big Deal. Sometimes it's so big of a deal that they make irreversible and very poorly considered decisions over it, as OP discusses.

But "formal" proofs by proof systems are no less social processes. They are still developed by humans, require human agreement, and still have bugs.

I think the main "bug" in proof systems is thinking that they will or should replace humans, as in most tech development today, rather than supplementing human activity.
I think the market cap is less than the amount Adam walked away with.
One could speculate whether things would have turned out differently if Covid and the raise of the home office had not happened? If Covid emptied out WeWork's spaces like it cleared out corporate HQs, companies probably just dropped all those contracts and stopped paying WeWork?
I don't entirely get what you're trying to say here, but I think perhaps it would be helpful to think of it more in terms of power than physical condition. It's not really an example from the world of comedy, but as an example, think about how much offense Hillary Clinton generated when she made her "deplorables" comment. It's because she was an elite punching down at the downtrodden, right?

I'd also add that the word "rule" is probably a bit strong. I'd say that comedy is very results oriented in that comedians mostly seem to do their writing by interacting with audiences and just repeating what works. They probably really only have guidelines at best.
