Your perspective isn't mutually exclusive with the one in the article.

I take the article, and the Carmack stories, as an argument to be scrupulously honest with yourself about when you're fucking around. If you do your best thinking taking a shower or a 20 minute walk in the sun, that's fine, because you're working, not fucking around.

But if you're browsing facebook, not thinking about the problem, and telling yourself it's part of your process, you might be in denial.

But if you decide to take packages off my porch, don’t you obviously have something to hide. Ya, my doorbell camera has a clear picture of you taking the package, but no, the police can’t do anything about it because it isn’t a priority for them and technology can’t be used to make matching a picture to a name due to law. So you get to pirate as many packages as you want.
I see what you are trying to do, thanks for contributing to the discussion.

Low T levels can massively negatively impact someone's life, if that can be addressed by supplementing testosterone people should be able to do so. If higher levels can benefit someone then they should be able to supplement it also.

Based on what?
> Being productive is really hard when any value produced immediately and only goes towards lining the pockets of the wealthy.

That’s called being an employee. Don’t like it? Start your own business.

I do not get this attitude at all. It just smacks of entitlement. How about this for an answer “when the company makes money, they can pay your salary?”. Now, there are many more reasons why an ambitious young person should be invested in their companies success, but any employee should be doing their best if they want to stay employed.
Yes. But it depends on the aquifer. For example the Edwards Aquifer in Texas gets recharged from rainfall. But the Ogallala Aquifer supplies water at least 10,000 years old and rain doesn't affect it. Once we pump the Ogallala dry it will stay dry.
It has too much devotion to be just a hobby. It’s ridiculous to put AVP in the same category as Apple TV.

But as a product, I don’t see it as anything more than an expensive toy.
Does that mean that all the images in my blog posts on blogger will disappear?

So troubled to hear that a product I never used might disappear and that the impact might be massive for me... or not.
I thought this was a really great idea and would love to see people with more experience than me provide important use cases where it won't work.

Or - if it does work everywhere - why it hasn't been adopted?

It seems to me that including an ownership role in the data type, and having an explicit ownership transfer instruction, is a massive simplification.
People do that already. It's just that when they do so it's normally a phone call.

There's no reason people couldn't make interfaces that use the same speaker as a phone call does.
wow, how was your experience?
Inflammatory is self evident.

Non-contributory is self evident.

First comes military parity.

Then come politicians who think it'd be a grand idea to use that to drive more favorable bargains.

Then come politicians who figure it'd be better off if they just controlled the whole thing.
Well yeah... but the linked page is 1.59Kb in size and if you visit the heavier version of the page at: https://e360.yale.edu/digest/groundwater-depletion-earths-ax... it includes your links in the HTML and a third link about past discussion.
People who think they know everything and don't realize their blind spots are big enough to drive a semi through... that's the national intelligence agencies for you.

Options agreements and, if a private equity shareholder, contact information for a trusted attorney or fiduciary you’ve previously contracted with who can execute a transaction with as favorable terms possible for unsophisticated next of kin.
It is really grimly hilarious how often this shitpost quote is appropriate on HN but:

"drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,"
Asteroid mining and new sources of energy could be developed in that time though.
He talks about how Steve had no problem calling Apple TV a hobby because well, he was Steve Jobs. That’s the level of status he had.

APV on the other hand is a serious project. I think the author just wanted to find a reason to draw the comparison between both ceos.

Either way, Jobs wouldn’t release something this predictable and boring.

Same. I thought my account might have been comprised after seeing this email.
unintentionally terraforming? what is the definition you're using for terraform?

terraform: (science fiction) To transform the atmosphere (or biosphere) of another planet into one having the characteristics of Earth.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/terraform

since we live on Terra, it has always had by definition terra-form, but if you use it to mean "make it support more humans inasmuch as we think we know how to do that", are you saying we're making it better or worse, unintentionally?

or are you just using it to mean "making planet-scale changes"?
Great question – all you need to do is hit CMD+Z or Esc when the generation starts and it automatically aborts it and gives you your "++" back!

Here's the code for it: https://github.com/steven-tey/novel/blob/main/ui/editor/inde...

I've debated between "++" vs "+++", but settled for ++ since it's lesser keystrokes (at the risk of conflicting with more common words/phrases) haha
Because these out of place things were almost never created by human but given as gifts by Gods/Aliens/Other dimensional beings. So they now have access to a plane and a limited knowledge on how to operate it, but they can't recreate it or use its tech. to start building cars/trains. Once the given artifact broke down, it simply got lost to dust over next few centuries.
Now Kick is down - I wonder what happened.
Honestly, no, I don’t remember, but my mental model of replying/threading on that site has been broken for a very long time. I’ve never been very sure how it works, or if it’s working properly, so I’m probably not the right person to ask about that aspect!

> But any property in joint names AUTOMATICALLY becomes the property of the joint owner and IS NOT subject to any restrictions

In common law jurisdictions, what happens upon death depends on whether the property was held under a joint tenancy [1] or tenancy in common [2].

I don't disagree that more work can get done if you work more.

What is being discussed is not "shorter work weeks" but "shorter work days", as many people who do shorter work weeks still work 40 hours a week but do it in less days. It seems that Carmack may actually be in support of that.

Working shorter days is not about maximizing the quantity of work but the quality. It is done when it is undesirable to have any work done that is below a certain quality, or just to increase worker happiness. Many people do their highest quality work after having sufficient rest, and then continue to do well building up context till they are burned out for the day.

It very much depends on the person though as some people gain more relevant short term memory context the longer they have been awake, and are able to create ingenious code in late hours more so than in their morning.

Basically, what it seems Carmack is arguing here is that he wants to get all the possible work out of all employees. Feel free to correct me John if that is not what you mean.

I personally don't find it necessary to extract all possible work from employees, as I respect their free time and personal life. I value happiness of my workers over how much work they get done. Happy workers create better results imo.
This downvoting is ridiculous, your comment is entirely reasonable, objective as can be, and should serve as a starting point (for those already versed in Rubin's career and careerism) for this entire debate.
I had to go on TRT about six years ago because of brain tumor (prolactinoma) that effectively destroyed my ability to produce testosterone. My prescribing doctor was and is an endocrinologist, and he told me from the very beginning that there was no direct increased risk for cardiac events, but it does increase RBC, so hypertension becomes a risk, with all of the obvious negatives that comes with. If you’re on TRT or plan on doing it in the future, regularly check your BP. I believe regular blood tests is the standard protocol as well.

My experience is that I have a slightly better mood, BUT, I have increased libido that does a crazy spike about halfway through the cycle (where I feel a raging insatiable teenager), followed by a significant drop in both mood and libido. It’s rather annoying, but better than the alternative.
This is such sad news. Daniel Ellsberg showd extraordinary courage to do what he did. Few in his position would have exposed themselves for what they believed right.

What we need to take from his legacy is that if our democracies were in good health and functioning as they should then the Daniel Ellsbergs of this world would not have to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the common good.
This simplest solution is to get a patch accepted by Python team. Good luck with that.
> The purpose of financial markets, sometimes but not always wholly achieved, is to transfer risks to those best able to hold them.

That is just one of the purposes; others are:

- time-shifting of consumption: borrow when you study or build a house, then invest and save during work years, then live of retirement portfolio

- maturity transformation enabling investment: extra cash goes in the bank (and can be redeemed on demand), is bundled and lent (long-term) to fund construction or businesses [1]

- allocative function: send capital to its most productive use. For that, you need accurate prices, supported by equity research and markets.

So, in real financial markets, all the arbitrage games etc. [2] at least support actual productive purposes.

In crypto, it's just a pure cargo cult copy of financial markets without any underlying productive purpose.

[1] that whole banking business is somewhat precarious, but reasonably well understood (since Bagehot) and regulated/insured, though in recent times obviously hasn't worked great. Alternative models (narrow banks + private credit) are conceivable.

[2] and to be clear: the amount finance skims of the economy is way too large. Similarly, building a somewhat straighter fibre (and then microwave towers) from Chicago to NY has no societal benefit I can discern. (But the solution to that is fintech and regulation, not crypto.)
You can also do "#" as well! But yeah, better filtering for the slash command in general, noted! :)
> Will Apple and Google open up with these documents? I can’t say with any specificity. But I imagine so.

Not sure about Google/Apple, but I think Microsoft will not provide access to accounts of deceased owners unless required by law (Germany and China, apparently?):

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/accessing-outlook...

Better to share resources prior to death for those accounts, I guess?
In my opinion, freezing your credit is more of a nuclear option. It’s a bit of a pain to unfreeze your credit for valid credit applications or simple credit limit increase requests.

Also I think freezing also prevents soft credit pulls so automatic credit limit increases won’t be given or add an extra hassle of “unfreezing” to get the increase.

What I do is use those “free” credit monitoring services (ie, credit karma, credit sesame) and monitoring provided by some of my credit cards to get full coverage across all credit bureaus.

If any unrecognized application for credit comes through using my information, then I will immediately get notifications.

Otherwise, I just continue as normal. Request CLIs for my current cards and grow my available credit.
For one, finance is a macro force multiplier; it can make or break entire other industries. There’s also a bit of selection (global top) and survivorship (plenty of less visible non-success stories) in the wild money stories you can see out there.

Why should they be thicker? Metals are resilient and strong. That's why we use them to build all sorts of stuff. I expect metal bodies to be thinner not thicker.

No sorry I'm saying something else. Regardless of what you're doing, yes even browsing Facebook, what matters is that the code was delivered on time or faster and doesn't suck. The typing of the code is trivial.
I’m not sure if I’m supposed to panic more because we’re tilting the earth, or panic less because we’re melting less ice than we thought. Or panic the same because the jury is still out in this research.
Under your model any author would immediately lose protections unless they could afford the fees....

If you can't see the glaring problems there then there's no hope for you....

But hopefully you immediately recognize that it hurts the least advantaged the greatest while also providing a mechanism for anticompetitive behavior under the guise of following your precept (make the fee high enough and only established authors/publishers can hold any copyright).

I really get the feeling you didn't think it through at all....
Damn, those apes are up to something.
It's called Timelinize (might rename it?), and you can follow it here: https://twitter.com/timelinize (Click "Media" on the Twitter account to view a few screenshots for a preview. More to come!) (There's no website or project page yet because I've been busy developing.)

If you want an invite to try out an early dev preview today, follow @timelinize on Twitter and tweet at it, I'll see about getting you into the Discord.

Some background:

Saving a local copy of my Google Photos has been a passion project of mine since ~2014 (before Google Photos even!). For years it was only focused on downloading the data using APIs -- but then we found out that Google strips location data (from your own photos!) if using the API, so I added Takeout support.

The problem is there was no viewer. Well in 2019 I finally started working on a viewer. It has evolved a lot since it's a very ambitious project and there's nothing quite like it.

It's not just Google Photos: it's any photos and videos. It's also for your text messages and emails. And your location history. And contact list. And chat apps. And really, any files you have. It also supports Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram account exports too. Oh, and iPhone backups.

Timelinize is entity-aware, and it can map identities across data sources (with enough info, or with a manual mapping, or some optional heuristics). It's just not a photo gallery.

It's basically a really detailed view of your life and online history. It's neat because I have my family pictures, my text messages between me and my wife when we were dating (and after of course), and there's different views to explore: map, timeline, conversations, gallery, and more to come (calendar, etc).

We can even place non-geolocated data on a map since we can correlate timestamp and entity. So when we went on our honeymoon, I can see text messages received from friends while we were driving to a beach.

It's really quite immersive and magical and I haven't seen anything quite like it.

And everything is stored on your own computer, it's a GUI app and you have to have enough space to store your stuff. The data is just organized as files within a folder on disk, with a SQLite DB holding the index and the small textual items.
Example: Someone just talked about an alleged "crazy MAGA-crowd" on Twitter just because censorship has decreased. That sounds more like "low effort left wing fauxrage" than the opposite.

Only if you think that the IP remaining restricted rather than entering the public domain is a halfway decent solution.....

Arguably the American model of abandonment is better because abandoned IP doesn't actually result in any lawsuits, while that UK model is built to effectively encourage them.
The thing is that federation is a non-user facing feature if you do it right. The whole point is that you don't need to care where a specific service is. Email, arguably the most successful federated app, exposes the servers as a disambiguation mechanism (which hakfoo do you want to message?) but that's not really that important when you're consuming content.

I could see a "polished" Fediverse app that abstracted away the server concept-- you'd say "I want to read the $subject Lemmy community / $person Mastodon account" and it would aggregate and deduplicate data on multiple servers automagically for a rich feed. Maybe track the emergence or discontinuation of servers and refine the lists.

Then, if you want to be particularly precise about which providers you're working with, you can go in and micro-manage the automatic selections.
Sure, but without insurance, everyone would have to have enough cash available to build a second home in case the first burns down (ie, provision for the worst case loss). With insurance, just need to have extra cash corresponding to the expected loss (ie, worst case loss times probability it happens) plus some cost for administering the insurance.

So, effectively [1], with insurance everyone can build a house nearly twice as big as without. That strikes me as productive.

I'm not referring to keyboard ergonomics in my comment; I just can't input some of the required key sequences reliably and without making mistakes (not good at playing the latest Zelda game with its key combos either).

For example, I'm sometimes transposing characters, e.g. q: instead of :q, or :w! command instead of :w !command, that sort of thing. Undoable, of course, just not with a simple u.

Modifier-based shortcuts in other editors and IDEs appear to be more forgiving.
Try a bomb package. I forget what it’s called, but the moment they lift it a loud-ass alarm goes off and freaks them out. We had the same problem in Seattle and then my wife took care of it with one of those. They never came back.

There’s one guy in particular that does a tremendous job making them. I can ask her for details if you’re interested.
Not at all. A single post on the account would be enough to completely disprove the theory. The whole reason the theory exists is that the account was previously extremely active, and all activity stopped abruptly when Maxwell was arrested. I don’t think you can say “no amount of proof would ever be enough” when no proof at all has been provided.
That's nothing compared to the interglacial-glacial 100,000 year cycle that set in since the Pliocene Era (c. 3-5mya). Current activity is kind of interesting though, accelerated time-frame-wise:

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/melting-glacie...

> "At the same time, there are a lot of new salmon streams opening up in Glacier Bay, says Eran Hood, professor of environmental science at the University of Alaska. “As glaciers are melting and receding, the land cover is changing rapidly,” he says. “A lot of new areas becoming forested. As the ice recedes, salmon is recolonizing. It’s not good or bad, just different."

Human activity has become the dominant feature in most if not all ecosystems on Planet Earth, that's just the reality. The trigger has been pulled, welcome to the now.

> "As our gargantuan glaciers melted, the continents up north lost weight quickly, causing a rapid redistribution of weight. Recent research from NASA scientists show that this causes a phenomenon called “true polar wander” where the lopsided distribution of weight on the Earth causes the planet to tilt on its axis until it finds its balance. Our north and south poles are moving towards the landmasses that are shrinking the fastest as the Earth’s center of rotation shifts. Previously, the North Pole was drifting towards Canada; but since 2000, it’s been drifting towards the U.K. and Europe at about four inches per year."

So, I guess if we have a 31 inches over 17 years change via groundwater pumping, then we have 80 inches over 16 years due to glacial melt... how do they sort all that out? Did they even take the glacial factor into account?

This always amazed me too. I guess we’re taught hot air rises but this does not apply to the way gas burns.

Honestly I feel like all knowledge is some type of best effort approximation and I think it’s important to stay skeptical and open minded. I think it’s also a fun way to live. Enjoy the mysteries.

I suspect that in Finland it is not as much of a black mark either.

In America it is very difficult for ex convicts to get work, to support themselves or family. It can easily lead into the exact same pressures that caused the crime in the first place.

I also think most people wouldn't be super against rehabilitation if we had some way to know which offenders are genuinely beyond help. The people who truly will always harm others if they are free to.

Some derivatives can be fairly consistently good bets, because you can take real-world probabilities, while your counterparty (the bank) deals with "risk-neutral" probabilities implied by their hedging, which can differ quite substantially and persistently from the real-world probabilities.
Exactly, it’s an alien attitude to me too. I’ve worked really hard and help make some people wealthy, but looking back over that time I certainly haven’t suffered at all. I traded labor for a regular paycheck. They took a financial risk and spent quite a few years of no income from it for a bigger payoff later.
