Thank you so much for making this comment. I would be beyond happy if this is helpful to you.

A few other thoughts on the subject of the paragraph that resonated with you.

A yoga teacher told me a long time ago to draw a distinction between how I feel and what I am. In English, we say "I am angry" or "I am sad" etc. - where our words literally describe us being that emotion. A more useful frame is "I have an anger", "I have a sadness" etc. It acknowledges that you may have a feeling but that feeling does not define you. Basically, the recognition that how you feel isn't reality.

Further reinforcing this point is the idea that we acknowledge that feelings can be inappropriate. EG: if someone loses their shit in anger over something trivial, we don't go "wow this is clearly a bigger issue that we thought", we just say this person is overreacting. Or if someone is anxious about something benign like flying or public speaking, we don't say "oh those must be really dangerous things", we say "it's unfortunate that this anxiety is limiting you and making you unhappy."

Likewise I think with failure. Failure in general is a bad thing - if you fuck up that can have real bad consequences for you and your community, so it makes sense for fucking up to feel bad. But reality is that most failure isn't material in this way (you and everyone are fine) but it can still feel as if it was. So recognizing that just like anger or fear can be obviously disproportionate to the stimulus, so can this feeling. Having that perspective is an important step towards keeping it in context and diminishing the sting.

Another thing is to realize that your failure is contextualized to a calculated risk you chose to take on. You decided that interviewing for ambitious jobs (in this example) should make your life better eventually. The fact that you decided to do that is a success. The fact that you then failed at a particular interview is totally within success criteria of the larger endeavor.

In general, there's something to be said for not taking ones' self too serious. The fact that you think or feel something is the beginning of the story, not the end. I find that a lot of religious growth comes from/entails recognizing that "just because you want/feel/fear/etc something - that's not the end-all-be-all"

This is probably now too much vs what you will find useful but I wanted to share!
It's a small world sometimes! :D
> When I was a kid my parents (and my friends' parents) didn't let us stay up all night watching TV. And the TV had parental controls so we couldn't watch the restricted channels.

> They generally supervised our computer usage and computer time. They weren't hovering over our shoulders but they regularly checked in so we knew they were around

Right, and this would have been when you had the family computer in the den or something similar, correct? Maybe in your room. Not at all times in your pocket. And you never got exposed to anything graphic that you didn’t intentionally seek out? If not, your childhood was very different from mine and those I grew up with.

> Parents on HN often say it's socially damaging to not let kids have smartphones because the other kids have smartphones.

My daughter doesn’t have a smartphone, understands why, and isn’t too bothered by it. Her friends do have them and think it’s weird that she doesn’t. She’s a good kid, but it’s still is uncomfortable to be out of the loop on things like that. Socialization is an important part of childhood.

> If smartphones are such a big issue (and not just for porn) then why don't parents get together at a PTA meeting and agree to only get their kids dumb phones?

Because other parents want their kids to have smartphones. They don’t want them to be able to do certain things on them. Just like they might want them to walk down the street but not enter a BDSM club. Technology can be a great thing, and it’s not too much to ask to have access to it for your child without opening them up to everything anyone has ever put online.

> You know pornography has existed for ages right? The pre-internet movie trope of teenagers keeping dirty magazines under their mattress is a trope for a reason.

That’s a little before my time, but from what I gather nudie mags and grainy cable channels with simulated sex weren’t quite the same as the offerings on PornHub’s homepage. Just as sneaking into a slasher film was somewhat different than industrial accident videos.

> about establishing trust

Trust is important. So are reasonable safeguards.

> As an aside, with regards to the vokda bit. Here in Louisiana there was alcohol at most parties I went to in high school. It was almost absurdly available.

Absolutely. Vodka came to mind because Taaka was the go-to when I was growing up (also in Louisiana). But everyone knew there was alcohol at high school parties, including parents. Usually parents supplied it. It was an agreed-upon, healthy outlet. Taaka wasn’t something your 8-year-old could just randomly, inadvertently consume by playing Roblox.

> Afaik it's was sometimes (usually?) even legal. Teenagers aren't allowed to purchase alcohol but possession/consumption on private property (or with legal guardian approval) can be.

Right, and the barrier to purchasing is what I’m talking about. When my daughter is at an appropriate age, I’m fine with letting her drink. I’m fine with her doing normal growing-up things. That’s not at all what this is about.

OPNsense is the core router platform I default to for all my network infrastructure (work devops env, homelab, vpn to family members etc). Its feature packed and ROCK solid. I almost always run it in a virtual machine so i can live migrate it between hosts and have no downtime. The cluster / high availability works great and ensures no loss of connectivity during upgrades. OPNsense is a true hidden gem in the open source world.
After an accidental emergency call, discovered the cause of this was the "tap to turn on screen" feature -- and my leg was tapping it through my pocket. (On my phone, there was no way to remove the emergency call button on the lock screen.)

How Review-Bombing Can Tank a Book Before It’s Published
The statement is misusing words, in that rewards make you happy by definition. This is a typical postmodern statement, trying to reorganize deep rooted cognitive structures, with words, which is completely backwards.

The idea is to reduce complexity by stopping the tendency of laws to accumulate. If 10 year sunsets are too aggressive, maybe try 20 year sunsets instead. Most legislation is amendment and revision of existing law anyway, so it wouldn’t necessarily hurt to make the legislature consciously review existing law on a regular cadence. And if someone gets a bug up their ass about legalizing self-serve gasoline, that would just reset the sunset clause on the gas station laws and not have to worry about it again for a decade or two.
I had an issue with OPNsense on a NUC with a USB Ethernet adapter where it would just like stop working. A reboot fixed it every time. I didn’t look much into the exact cause, I went back to DD-WRT because it’s what I know and it just works.
Recently transitioned from Ubiquit stuff to a OPNSense setup. It was such a good decision. The firewall rules make much more sense. Better functions than the dream machine series. You can also get a lot more for the same price. Ubiquti hardware is very under spec for the money you pay for. Highly recommend this guide to setup your own. It’s very dense and more verbose than you need so skip the irrelevant sections.

On the subject of different kinds of happiness, I enjoyed reading Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics. He talked of eudaimonia, ie “good spirit”, “good condition of the personal daimon.” A sort of “thriving” or doing well. This is, in his language, the human good.

But what fascinated me was the brief mention of another good, a good more proper to a god than to mankind, “makarios.” We might translate it “blessed.”

In the everyday language of the ancient Greeks, the word could be used in other ways too. One could call the carefree lives of children, or of the rich and beautiful, “blessed” in this sense.
Do you also deliberately trigger red light and speed cameras, purchase and maintain a horse and buggy, and rent office space that you don't use?

Saying that ad (aka surveillance) based businesses are "undermined" by adblocking carries a fallacious assertion that those businesses have some inherent right to exist as they want. In reality, nobody is entitled to a business model. From my perspective, "freeloaders and thieves" describes those who have built businesses around attempting to hijack attention spans and create surveillance profiles about users. The fundamental dynamic of the Internet has always been that servers represent the server owners' interests, and my user agent chooses how to interpret what is received in my own interests. The Schelling point of the protocol is what separates the authorities/concerns of two parties with diverging interests.
I've just set up my first OPNsense box (using one of the 4-port 2.5 gig AliExpress tiny PCs recommended by ServeTheHome) and like it a lot.

A few rough edges in the UI, but I got the basic routing functionality running within minutes, and got Wireguard going with the help of a guide from Home Network Guy pretty soon after.

Since then I've bought a second box and will be setting it up soon, too!

I did a bare metal migration and it was pretty painless. Had to reinstall some packages, but it was as simple as just hitting the + on the package manager.
Interesting point about English. You're right, having a single word for "I am happy the light turned green just as I approached the intersection" and "I have 10 children and I am proud of the kind of people they turned out to be" really blunts the nuance.

In my parlance, I'd call the second thing "meaningful" but not everyone strives for meaning (or think it matters) so it kinda doesn't have the same mindshare as the "by-default-short-term" happy.
The modern apps such as vs code, slack are such an eyesore vs even that tiny Twitter app in the article. I really hope bespoke, mac apps make a comeback.
I've heard enough good things about OPNsense that I would probably pick it these days for a new installation. But I've been using pfSense happily for enough years that I'm not sure it's worth the hassle to switch, especially since I'm using Netgate hardware.

Has anyone attempted to run OPNsense on Netgate hardware?

hit the nail on the head right there.
Hello, Pathogen-David. Lots of good feedback here. It is a minimum viable product and as we grow we will likely consider all of your comments. I may not make them all, but we will consider them all. I am not an engineer so they decide on what is best for the platform. For example, load speed is super important it has to load in a fraction of a second, I don't exactly, but they a benchmark they don't want to be over. Thanks for taking the time to think about us.

Suppose I a (hypothetical) very low frequency value based trader buy a million dollars worth of Apple.

Apple should go up in price slightly, because someone (me) just made a big bet that it's going to do well. The market does this automatically.

TSMC should also go up in price very slightly, because Apple doing well makes it more likely that TSMC (a major vendor of theirs) will also do well, and the market just learned that Apple is slightly more likely to do well, so it also just learned that TSMC is more likely to do well. In other words the companies performance is correlated, so the stock prices should be as well.

By my understanding HFT is the mechanism by which the market can make TSMC go up slightly as well. High frequency traders can react to the information that apple is going to do better (as per it's increased stock price) and buy a bit of TSMC.

This seems like it should make the market more accurate, and if you buy that the market accurately assigning values to a company is a good thing, seems like a good thing.
I had this happen to me a while ago. My old Pixel 3 was struggling with battery and boot looping issues so I picked up a Pixel 6. I had managed to boot up my phone and start transferring files and such over to my new phone when it suddenly started calling 911 over and over again.

Every time I turned it off, it would boot up again and then immediately call 911. I had to talk with the dispatchers multiple times very nicely that no, everything's fine, my phone is going nuts. Eventually I was able to bypass the screen and turn it off in settings before it rang again.

It gave me a massive scare and I thought my phone was crying bloody murder because I was switching to a newer one.
We can read about the Roman collapse and probably have witnessed British empire peak and start collapsing (shrinkage may be better wording, collapse may mean elimination in some minds) in last couple centuries with US and India declaring independence via various ways. Is there anything known about the Mayan civilization collapse from that timeframe? As far as I know (high school level history recollection here) Europeans hadn’t discovered the American continents for a few hundred years after that collapse in 800-1000 CE. I mean I don’t recall Vikings ever going that far south if they did get to what is Canada today. Given that it’s the Yucatán Peninsula maybe a major weather event like a hurricane caused people to flee?

Thank you for the explanation. Let me see if I understood. The basic draw is that it offers a programming language-agnostic specification for dependency management, replacing language-specific specifications like requirements.txt. Then you pair it with a containerization technology like Docker or Podman. And if you use NixOS, you can skip the last part?
Whether or not there is real democracy anywhere (I'd say "no"), there has been a deep cultural homogenization imposed by the media since the 70s. And a really strong deviation from fact-based bottom-up world modeling.

It's technically possible that people just decided to vote the same way in half of the world for decades. Besides, the local plutocracy wanting the same things everywhere isn't easy to explain either.
Yeah, I don't think pivoting is the only natural outcome here either. It's just what I realized was part of the puzzle for me.

I think it's also worth mentioning that I didn't think I wanted to pivot my life. I just wanted to get back to work with a more sustainable approach. Gaining enough distance from work and the traditional pressures associated with being immersed in it was incredibly helpful for clarifying what I didn't know I wanted.

I couldn't really hear myself through all of the noise.
Yeah I’m waiting for a good open source Linux-based firewall, it’s way overdue. Linux has surpassed FreeBSD in terms of networking, at least for the home/SMB router use case. I’m talking about Cake, eBPF, etc.

I’m currently running Mikrotik x86 on a NUC, but their hardware support on x86 isn’t great. I’d rather switch to Vyos, but I’m too lazy to learn their CLI.

Semi-related: OpenWRT is also genuinely not bad on x86, but it’s slightly too simplified compared to say Mikrotik or VyOS. It also runs great in a VM.
Right, the reasonable “f this alarm” solution would have been to leave the building uncleaned and notify management that the alarm prevented cleaning.

What kind of hardware do you use to install OPNsense? Please don't suggest to buy some old Dell optiplex from ebay. Hardware that can beat any commercial vendor, is better.
There were major banking panics in the US in 1873, 1884, 1890, 1893, 1899, 1901, 1907 & 1908. All while the US was on a hard gold standard with weak central banks.

That’s of course without considering any of the pre and during depression era panics, where there was a quasi gold standard.

Savings can either be punished by inflation or risk. That’s an immutable financial fact. The only time you aren’t being punished for savings is if you exist in an economy where money can’t be put to productive use and is thus deflationary. Sometimes that’s good for savers but generally it means you are experiencing bad stagnation more broadly in the economy.

911 is not well funded in the majority of the US. In many rural areas, one false call that requires EMS sent out could cause another person with a legitimate call to wait a hour or more.
There may be entire regions without this problem, but it is absolutely not restricted to the Anglosphere.

Google isn’t the first in the foldable market, as detailed in the article.

There also already are rumors that Apple is also experimenting with foldable devices. To think they wouldn’t at least explore this is folly, especially within their iPad line.

Over a decade later, who really cares what a 90s/00s era Steve Jobs might be doing today? Personally, I currently use Apple products almost exclusively and I wasn’t attracted to any of their devices until a post Jobs Apple. What Apple does best is take and existing idea or product, refine it, and make it better (for some, but certainly not all). If they can tackle the foldable market, I’m sure their devices will sell.

At least at all the Costcos I've been to in California, you need to first scan your membership card before your payment card. So without a membership card you can't even start the process. The attendants can override this I think, but lately they've started really cracking down on this and not allowing it.
>The idea that a bug can be pushed to billions of devices with essentially no preventative oversight is bonkers to me.

Eh, in this case this is just a gap for the FCC who already regulates 911 and it's implementation that needs patching. The FCC can be absolutely brutal in their enforcement execution. It's just they move slow as rocks.

> Self-driving vehicle companies can push updates over the air that not only brick the vehicles, but endanger 3rd parties who never signed 95 page Terms and Conditions contracts.

The NHTSA regulates vehicles via the FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards). They are responsible for things as requiring e-braking, backup cameras and more. It's really their job and ability to crack down on self-driving vehicles and OTA in vehicles. They could very easily do it but the automakers of course throw tantrums and start getting their local senators to interfere.

Now, why doesn't anything happen? Well, it's part regulatory capture, part rotting federal government due to extremists.
I’m not sure what you take away from that meta analysis, but to me it does not seem to be about diversity as much as which groups of bacteria are associated with general improved health outcomes and disease. If you have more alpha diversity because you have more pathogenic strains, it does not necessarily mean it’s better.

Some studies have found no differences in alpha diversity[1] when looking at outcomes like longevity. Maybe alpha diversity is the byproduct of healthy flora but it could be possible to engineer a microbiome that was more advantageous for a given population that was less diverse.

Thanks for the reply.

I guess my intuition from reviewing the lists over time is that some supercomputers start at the top of the list and then drop as improvements to technology crown new winners.

But if you had to build a machine TODAY to just get on the bottom end of the list, what design choices might you make?
Thanks for the clarification. I'd just like to add it wasn't a knock on your journalism or a suggestion it was a pureposeful misrepresention, just wanted to re-cite the authors citation in his Youtube video here
Investment from anything. Developers looking to make apartments. People looking to open stores or restaurants. Community groups. These are all examples of investing time or money into a community, all of which affect property value. Given two homes in a city, one where you see new restaurants opening and new apartments and community events all summer, and one that's the same sleepy retiree community its always been, you can probably guess which one is more valuable.
The docs note that certain kinds of beacons (which presumably would only be useful for location-finding) will be filtered from results. Otherwise I suppose it's just a soft flag for Play Store review or similar. There's not much you can do - if a given app has access to BLE scan results, it's very difficult to prove that it's _not_ deriving location from that either locally or on a server. I'm satisfied that it's usually going to be difficult though, with the possible exception of say, a supermarket app who plants non-beacon-like devices in their stores. However a user would probably raise their eyebrows at a supermarket app that asks for access to Bluetooth.

You can, however, build willy nilly copies of things that you've already approved previously and deemed are still habitable. Even that though is unpalatable, by right development hardly happens anywhere these days.
