> Is Musk a hypocrite? Sure, anybody who's been paying attention already knows this.

Musk is an infamous controversial figure. To find out if he's a hypocrite, or more of a hypocrite than the average rando, you would need some evidence. But because he's an infamous controversial figure, it's easy to find a mountain of unsubstantiated innuendo. The volume of it tells you nothing except that he has a lot of critics. To know anything you would have to look at specific examples.

This one doesn't seem strong.
> The US and the USSR had to collaborate on filtering out UAPs from radar early warning systems so we didn't nuke each other.

And as we know they're the only countries with radar and observation abilities.

> Two of the people testifying in front of Congress are ex military pilots noting that they saw, and logged on radar, objects.

> The third has stated specifically that we do have satellite data and imagery displaying UAPs.

This is nothing new. There's plenty of "stuff" that can get tagged as a UAP/UFO/Whatever. None of it has turned out to be aliens.

> UFO reports from the middle ages exist, both in paintings and in writings. Ship captains have reports in their logs from the 16 and 1700s. Reports from within the U.S. in the 1800s exist.

We've also got reports of dragons, krakens, bigfoot, the lochness, ghosts, psychic powers, and magic. Hell there's a couple of rather popular books talking about all sorts of phenomena like talking burning bushes, parting the sea, and walking on water.

> All arguments of the form "where is the evidence" are moot at this point, as there is a mountain of evidence.

No, it just isn't. HARD EVIDENCE does not exist. Even a mild dive into the claims shows how absurd all of these are, and often very real explanations are given, verified, and ignored by the community that wants to believe. It's got all the rigor of pizzagate and is in fact less likely to be possible.

It would be more helpful to compare S&P 500 vs CPI rather than M2. It's purchasing power that matters to most investors, not the comparison to how much money exists.

S&P 500 gained ~40% since January 2020, and CPI gained ~18%.

Even better would be comparing to the total stock market rather than S&P 500. Using something like DWCF or VTSAX

Yeah, you are probably right.

I'd argue Nix merely surfaces the inherently complex nightmare we've all been hiding from though.

From that view it's likely I'd view alpine as pretending to be simple while shuffling complexity elsewhere.

I'm not confident enough to say that is the case with alpine though.
As I understand it, the main driver behind retention is discovery. It’s simply that reducing the corpus that must be searched reduces the likelihood that something bad will be found. And even things which seem reasonable at the time can seem bad in retrospect.

But it's literally a feature that creates ongoing cost based on usage. Why must you either get it for free, or not have it in the IDE at all? Why can't they implement it for people who want to use it, and you continue not using it (since it's impossible for them to finance with the existing licensing model)?

I could understand your point of view if it was a feature that could be made free in some way. But it literally can't - so you just don't want others do have this feature, because you can't have it for free. Why?

Avoid West Oakland (especially near the harbor, avoid anything west of Mandela Parkway or even west of I-980) which is the most dangerous area, as well as Fruitvale and south (eg: San Leandro), and Richmond in the East Bay (the Richmond district in SF is very safe). Alameda island is quite safe, as well as Chinatown and Broadway near the BART stations and Lake Merrit. Berkeley, the Oakland hills and Piedmont area are also safe. But I would still avoid walking around at night in downtown Oakland by myself after 8PM.

In SF, I would avoid the Tenderloin, parts of SOMA from 6th Ave and higher, Mission district below 20th Ave, Excelsior, and Hunter's Point as well as the Bayview neighborhoods. Avoid East Palo Alto in south bay (the rest of Palo Alto is quite safe).

For short-term housing, this could be a good option if your budget is ~$1000/month: Berkeley is generally quite safe

"All the technological advantages humans made"

I didn't notice them. Is there anyone who believes Google or Microsoft are now significantly more useful than in 2003? Does anyone feel like Facebook has gotten more useful in recent years? Apart from compensating for ever slower Electron apps, does the additional CPU power in modern Macs really improve my life? How come VS Code still feels so much slower than Visual Studio 6 on Windows 98 SE?

Maybe it's time to accept the obvious conclusion that new != better when it comes to technology.

I got really excited until you said all of their consumer cards are out. That's even more infuriating - people have mammoth computing devices laying around and they can't make full use of them, because of drivers.

Firstly, the loudness war largely died with Spotify. LUFS normalization means that pushing beyond -14 is an artistic choice and not necessary to compete with other tracks on loudness alone.

Secondly, more compressed (less dynamic range) doesn't mean worse, or better. It means more compressed. In some genres, tons of compression is desirable; in others, less so. Is an orchestral Hans Zimmer piece that maxes at -10 momentary LUFS better than a Skrillex song that hits -4 during a drop? You could argue either song is better, but I don't think your argument would have anything to do with its LUFS measurement.

Compression is similar to distortion. Too much distortion is generally seen as bad. But if distortion were always bad, people would use acoustic guitars and clean electrics and never run things through a distortion pedal. Same idea with compression. Too much compression will kill a mix, but not enough will reduce the impact the song has on the listener.

In other words, trying to say that LUFS is an "objective metric of quality" is complete nonsense. To me that's like saying that lines of code written is an objective metric of quality of a software developer.

> Music doesn't have ever-increasing production costs

It actually has. Venues are getting more and more expensive, and the effort to run shows has also increased - Rammstein is far from the only one requiring dozens of trucks to move their equipment around. On top of that you have Ticketmaster and their ilk on a brutal rent-seeking ride at the expense of both artists and fans.

> It certainly has it's own business problems but I don't see any lack of interesting, risk-taking music out there. Even as a fan of genres largely far out of the mainstream I often feel like there's so much great new stuff that I can't keep up with it all.

Yeah, indie stuff still works out fine these days, if not easier as Soundcloud has replaced physical tapes, but to achieve major recognition still takes an absurd amount of money, connections and luck. Or all three of them.
No, I imply it's mostly our fault. (Why "their"? You were part of us too, admit it.) The proof is that we didn't start buying music even when it was perfectly possible to do so. We kept pirating because it was free. iPods could hold thousands of songs. Who would buy them on iTunes? Almost nobody of course. Downloadable music sales never nearly reached dimensions of CD sales. Until Spotify offered impossibly low flat rate pricing so that pirating wasn't worth the inconvenience. For some people, at least.

Except now they have it on legal public record in front of congressmen a testimony that states

- aliens exist
- they have recovered technology
- they have recovered bodies
- there's a shadow government of people approving access to information on a higher level than the government
- money is being directly taken out of other projects and/or services to fund UAP projects
- there is an active disinformation program in the government directly regarding UAPs
- people have been criminally abused by government contractors over this
- there's massive mismanagement with government military contractors

Etc etc. If you're a UFO nerd you've heard it all before, but this is pretty big stuff to have on record, and that's the main thing. A lot of that needs to be followed up legally, and it sounds like a lot more is going to be discussed behind closed doors.
Why on earth would you divide the market cap of the 500 largest companies in the US by the money supply? It's a completely arbitrary and silly thing to do. Why not divide the number of cheese wheels by the diameter of the moon?

We certainly have different types of filters. Your filter apparently catches blogs and that's fine. I feel I've been exposed to many interesting things on blogs. I'm sure others would agree.

Your model/filter may be better because you don't have to think about as many things. There's certainly more information out there than one has the ability to ingest. In my experience many things I thought were settled turned out not to be upon further inspection. A simple filter might be good enough for your purposes!

I think your ideas about investing can be correct (in that they produce favorable outcomes) and other ideas can be correct too.

Not a perfect analogy, but Newton's ideas about gravity are correct to explain a lot of things. Einstein's ideas expand and explain more. They are both correct, depending on the level of detail you need. Sometimes "correct" roughly equals "useful".

Hi,

I've created Claper [0], an open-source tool for real-time interaction with a public. You have multiple ways to monetize an OSS, starting from donation, sponsorship to consulting or SaaS.

Personally, I chose the last one with a cloud version. I like this model, people paying for the SaaS support the project and have, in return, a hosted version of the OSS, and so contribute to improve it.

This is good news. It means the Fed is doing its job. M2 is a measure of the amount of money in the economy, not a measure of inflation.

If the economy grows, the amount of money needed to lubricate the economy also grows. If the money supply doesn't grow while the economy does then we'd see significant deflation.

So we want these two measures to be relatively balanced, and they are. Yay!
Probably depends on the user, honestly. Most of the software I use doesn't need to talk to the internet. A lot of it wants to, but that's a different thing.

I'm not a sleep researcher, so I'm not really qualified to say. I did poke around and find some papers on caffeine's affects on sleep, but there honestly wasn't (IMO) a huge amount a research, and what I did find mostly focused on caffeine intake less than 6 or 8 hours before sleep. Everything I found did see differences in brain activity or REM, but there seems to be room for interpretation on what those differences actually mean (turns out brains are really complicated).

I did find this though:

"Regular Caffeine Intake Delays REM Sleep Promotion and Attenuates Sleep Quality in Healthy Men"

>Our data indicate that besides acute intake, also regular daytime caffeine intake affects REM sleep regulation in men, such that it delays circadian REM sleep promotion when compared with placebo.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34024173/

Based purely off of my layman's intuition, changing how you sleep is not optimal for brain health, it disrupts a natural and very important process.
Good point. I viewed the strikes as joint strikes.

And yeah, 0% rates made it dirt cheap for companies like Netflix to churn out a new series every single day in some cases. Studios other than Netflix and Amazon are probably happy for rising rates and the strikes to pause the insane amount of content spend that has occurred over the last decade. Obviously the writers and actors are going to get hit in this reset.
> I remember the same sort of arguments being made about how web sites could not possibly ever accept user comments or submissions

The heyday of comments sections on news websites is now in the past. Not long ago, Lonely Planet took down its renowned Thorn Tree forums, which had been a big part of the travel internet since the 1990s. Friends who run a major website for a particular hobby told me that they canceled their plans to launch a forum, since their site is advertising-supported and a forum could damage their relationships with advertisers.

Reliable moderation costs money, and if you don’t moderate heavily enough, you’re going to get user comments that tarnish your brand (or at least scare execs into thinking that the brand will be tarnished).

I think Hulu is a great example.

Hulu has DRM issues in Firefox and their DRM just fails with unknown errors on about ~15% of content they host (anecdotally, of course, I have no specific data). There's no way for me to tell if a specific episode of a show will fail or not, some succeed, others don't. I at least find no pattern for this. From this perspective, they are essentially randomly breaking 100% of Firefox users some seemingly random percentage of the time.

They have "good" business reasons to require this DRM and whatever this random broken user percentage is, I'm sure it meets their bottom-line criteria as a business.

"95%" uptime for Chrome users is only "one-9", but it's still got that one 9. That's an acceptable SLA to many businesses. A business might easily decide attestation is worth that "uptime risk" because it sells more ads or makes the DRM vendors happier (and thus the content owners are happier) or any other number of "good" business reasons.

It is lucrative for an individual (or group) to be able to instill (correct or incorrect) beliefs in people other than themselves.

It turns out that it is even lucrative to be able to coerce others to assert such beliefs even if they silently disbelieve (as this can convince yet others to believe).

These two factors make it complicated to understand (let alone model) how beliefs succeed and fail.
