Or jump right to Obsidian if you want the kitchen sink. The point of Markdown with "frontmatter" is that your files are your files, fully portable, to most any tool. For example, an Obsidian vault can also be edited with Foam in VSCode after some tuning of Foam and Obsidian settings.
Do "most" humans think that way?
That sort of comment is completely unnecessary and ignorant on so many levels. Do better.
ArcLight in SoCal was the best movie viewing experience I've ever had. My wife and I, when we were dating, would go to opening nights probably a dozen times a year for different movies. It was 18+, reserved seating, and they had strict policies about disturbing the movie and would enforce them very quickly, with employees standing in the theater for the duration of the movie. Sadly, they went out of business (the pandemic crushed them) and I am not sure that anything has really replaced them.

Actually, it looks like the one in Sherman Oaks has survived relatively tact under new management (now known as The Culver Theater) but I haven't been so cant comment on the experience.
There is no rule you have to date people your age, or even people that share your exact past.

If you've changed how you view the world, change who you date.
I'm more amused by 'grab anyone we want' stance, along with 'everyone wants to be the US citizen'. Imagine some Chinese would said that about some US scientist.
Yeah, energy capture is essential for civilization development. There’s a book that goes into this by looking at history called why the West still rules by Ian Morris. He also talks about how there’s a thing called the development ceiling so the problems of development so as a civilization captures more energy and develops it encounters problems in managing the kind of growth and complexity that comes from that, and, you can look at history as a series of cycles of civilizations either failing to manage that complexity, and then collapsing or managing to pierce the ceiling of development and enter the next cycle. There’s also something interesting, called the advantages of backwardness, so at the time of a civilization of collapse, and some kind of change, it’s often the case that more backwards parts of the world have some kind of advantage that that allows them to become the next core of civilization. So yeah, energy capture is essential to development and increasing levels of development are totally correlated with increasing amounts of energy capture, but that increase development comes with complexities.
See my other comment. The FCC is claiming to have finally done that, instructing providers to completely cut off this operator.

It's going to be one of those iron law things where of (time, effort, money) you only get to minimize two of them.

You could get a consulting firm (Monitor, now part of Deloitte) to write it for you like Mohmar Gadaffi's son. Or pay some academic. But those will cost lots of money. You could enroll in a shitty program but there are usually some course and duration requirements, so it will take a while even if standards are low. Or you could just do it, I suppose.

I've seen a few "professional PhDs" I'll see if I can find one. They'd be more expensive too though.

E.g. https://www.waldenu.edu/online-doctoral-programs/doctor-of-b...

I assume that counts as a PhD, there are some other doctoral degrees on there. You could search online for one that matches your repeatability ease requirements, they're all pretty dodgy imo.
Thanks, after hearing about promoting oneself so many times, I guess I know what I have to do!
What exactly for? All quantitative measures have a purpose. What good does IQ do as a quantitative measure if it can't measure what it stands for?
But they didn't get money for it. They get money for it from the people who enable it. If they didn't get money from people paying for it the effective cost of manufacturing the car they sold you would go up (and they may need to raise the price they charged you to cover it).

Imagine that 1/2 of the owners want heated seats. It is more cost effective to just install the hardware in every car rather than creating a new production line. These owners now need to pay 2x the raw cost of installing the seats (because they need to cover the cost of installing the hardware in the car that won't purchase it) in order to cover the cost (and of course there is some profit margin on top). But this can still be much cheaper than the extra overhead of setting up a second production line. But in this model the price of the car that didn't pay for the seats hasn't changed. The cost increase is covered by those who do pay for the seats. Making two separate production lines would raise the cost (of both models) for no benefit. Adding the feature to all cars would necessitate raising the price for the base (and only) model to cover the additional manufacturing cost.

(Ok, money is fungible so it is a little hard to say anything for certain, but in theory it is rational and fair)

Actually the text from your National Geographic link is the one that is more sloppy.

The original meaning of the word "fossil", which is still used in various contexts, means anything that is dug up from below the surface of the Earth.

During the last two centuries "fossil" became used more frequently with the restricted meaning of remains of ancient living beings.

"Fossilization" is any process that has ensured the preservation of such remains. The most frequent form of fossilization is mineralization, which is the transformation of the remains into a rock, but it is not the only kind of fossilization, especially for more recent remains, like fossil amber or the fossils from the La Brea Tar Pits. Some organic molecules have survived even billions of years without being converted into rocks.

Your quotation "to become a fossil, the bone has to become rock" is valid only in the most frequent cases, because sometimes a bone becomes a fossil without becoming a rock, e.g. when the animal has been enbalmed (e.g. by tar or resin) or frozen (like many mammoths).

You are right however that the article discussed here is annoyingly ambiguous, because it cannot be known whether the hardness and weight are attributes of the original bones or only of the mineralized bones that have been preserved.

In any case, the conclusions about the weight of the bones in the living animal were based on studies of the microscopic structure of the bones, not on how many people were needed to carry the fossils.
It's cool that they left the dialog in there.
Coding is not a skill anyone can just pick up, from what I’ve seen. Going through academia doesn’t skew that probability either. Thus most academics struggle getting to understand coding the same way normal people do.
Sure, that happens too. And it would be interesting to read an article about that; but that is not what this article is about despite its title :-)
Yeah I recently paid nearly $100 for two people to visit the Chicago Field Museum and it was pretty disappointing. I'd guess well over half the exhibits are basically unchanged since I was a kid over 40 years ago, and it showed.

There is only so much methane trapped, and the warmer climate is said to increase the chances of wildfire, so it too will eventually reach a tipping point where the forest growth can't keep up.

Frappe – A Python and JavaScript web framework
Sharing this as I thought I was familiar with most Python web frameworks but this wasn't even on my radar. Anyone have any experience working with it?

The tutorial and docs look thorough and development seems fairly active.
Where do you draw the line between manipulation and culture? Or do you think some cultures are self-manipulating?
The very existence of something affects its environment. Even the caveman burned sticks for warmth; would you say he is the "cause" of "the problem" of increased carbon emissions? Because unarguably he did release carbon into the atmosphere. So you'd have to be very specific about the "cause" and the "problem".

The electricity that feeds my computer allowing me to type this comment comes from the local power plant, which is fossil-fuel based (coal and natural gas). Shall I be put to death? Or am I far enough removed, and instead perhaps the CEO of the utility company? Or considering that they answer to the shareholders, maybe anybody who owns shares? Considering that it's a publicly-traded company that serves roughly 4% of the landmass of the continental US, that's quite a lot of people.

In the end, nobody burns polluting coal and gas for fun. They do it because it's the economical choice; if we could all have abundant clean energy from fusion power at the wave of a wand, we would do it. The fact remains that "problems" cannot be "solved" as much as they need to be weighed against the tradeoffs; there is no free lunch, and the scarce time and resources that can be spent "solving" something can be equally spent somewhere else. I'm afraid that the desire of some people to classify the problem of the changing climate as a categorical imperative that must be "solved" at any cost does not change the underlying reality, which is that "at any cost" is an impossible thing in real life.
I know, but my point is that the price doesn’t scale with machine and helium costs, but with labor costs and the level of insurance racket a particular country has.
Obviously it’d be great if we didn’t require helium supply chains to make medical scans, but unfortunately we can’t fix everything with technology alone.
I generally agree with your view, but to play devil's advocate:

The birth rates have been below replacement rates in developed countries for quite some time now. If the 50 million humans were happy people living in abundance and luxury, it may not inherently follow that the population will increase.

That said, I'm not sure how one would choose the 50 million or restrict people from having children in a way that isn't dystopic.
If you realy think, that power is everything that attracts women to men, you should try to reduce the dosis of red pills.
My IPv6 philosophy:

If any "new" computer technology has been around even half as long as IPv6 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_deployment#Major_mileston... ), with even a tenth of the "you gotta start using this!" push from the Big Boys - and yet still is very widely avoided/resisted, and the older-tech alternative commands a price premium due to widespread demand...gosh, that "new" technology must absolutely suck, eh?

I was in the same position about 8 years ago, having completed a PhD in algebraic number theory with only some basic coding from undergrad under my belt. At the time, I was offered some very helpful advice from folks who had also been in that same position before me, and I ultimately ended up landing a SWE role at Facebook. Since then, I’ve always felt I should pay it forward.

There’s more to say than can fit into an HN comment, and I’d be happy to answer any specific questions you have, so please feel free to reach out to me through the contact form on my website.
I think this is more of a Microsoft has dropped the ball, than Linux exceling.

I switched to Linux because Windows Filesystem was too unreliable with OneDrive hijacking it. (Also Cortana, auto open edge links, ads/ragebait news in the start menu)

But I needed something reliable, and Microsoft is no longer reliable.

What poorly constructed and non-thoughtful arguments does he make? His site pluralistic has lots of interesting long-form-twitter essays.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/02/self-incrimination/#wei-b... is one I'm reading now. It's clearly, bluntly stated (good, makes it hard to avoid) and cites lots of examples.

He doesn't seem to go for shock value (to me.) That said, the term 'enshittification' is not shocking to me because of the swearword; I think we're all used to calling things BS, for example. I don't use terms like that at work, or at home, but that's personal taste in communication; it's not shocking and sometimes they are the most accurate and succinct terms.
Oh yeah, because using nukes always works out for the best for everyone involved, yeah? Let's just do that. Much faster and more efficient than waiting for the 1% to boil us slowly to death.
But this would simply result in both groups paying more for no benefit. Due to less volume both models would end up costing more.

I do agree that making this a subscription is ridiculous, especially such an expensive subscription. But I think making two models of car and raising the price for everyone is illogical.
Darn, didn't expect this. :(

I suggest revisiting this thread in a week.

Wait, smartphones have been “awful”? In what way?

I just grabbed a Starbucks that I ordered on the way so there was no wait, exchanged some texts with friends who live 8000 miles away, and responded to an urgent work email that 30 years ago would have been a “drop everything and drive into the office” phone call.

I mean there are downsides, like anything, but it’s hard for me to see smartphones as anything but a net godsend. Do people really think they’re in the same category of bad as Google Glasses?
Prescribing to copy those who succeed is an answer without substance in the question of how to succeed.
> In my experience, the trouble can be in picking places that won't see you as too qualified/"why would you work here?"

This probably isn't an issue going from math research -> industry. Most folks (at least in the areas I work in) will look at the math background as a huge plus and will assume the answer to "why would you work here?" is "I don't want to starve." and consider that a win.

While the statement reads this way, and should be rewritten - the OPs underlying point is that as time goes by it becomes progressively less likely that a 6 month/2 year/5 year/10 year relationship has a distinct meaning for your partner or you. From the folks who are 70+ in the dating pool - this trend has reached the point that they simply don't want to take the time on a relationship even if they are in good health (particularly as bad times are around the corner).

This is more about overall life experience than number of partners. I wouldn't be surprised if its just a reflection of people's understanding of their own mortality which emerges sometime around the mid-30s/40s.

I see vigilance when it comes to applying the same standards of evidence to people you agree with and people you don't as an important part of being a functional human being. Once you get emotionally attached to your conclusions you're not a rational thinker anymore; you're just a dumb animal following your tribalistic loyalty around. My opinions could be proven wrong at any time.
The world might have changed, but human nature and sexuality have not. We're still the same damn species, so the same rules apply.

The X axis is the day of the year. The y axis is the average temperature across the entire surface area of the the sea (between -60 to 60 degrees) on that day. Each line is a different year.

It sounds like you're interpreting "average" as being an aggregate over time, but it is actually an aggregate over space at a given point in time.

The graph you're getting the 2015 number from is not comparable. It is only about the temperatures in the limited area in the Pacific where the El Nino effect happens.
OverDrive is also integrated with many e-Readers, which seems like a weird omission as it is the best way to read ebooks in my opinion. I personally cant imagine reading a book on a smartphone.
As someone in a similar situation, it feels like most job adverts expect prior experience in whatever the domain is.
I expected that learning on the job was a thing, and that the "mathematician" (ergo, knows how to learn, or so they say) badge would suffice.
Can anyone speak to that?

Imo the root problem to most if not all the issues that he’s citing is time. There’s usually not enough screen time to show the minute details like that. This is why TV is so much better than the movies now. None of his criticisms would apply to TV. Stuff like The Boys is already out there.

The other big issue is sales. PG and PG13 tend to have much larger sales due to larger audiences than R rated movies

While it makes some good points, I think a lot of it depends on what content you are consuming.

I feel like there used to be a lot of family oriented shows in the past. There may have been some innuendo for the adults, but nothing really sexual, no vulgar language, etc. It seems incredibly rare to find a show like that today. Think Brady Bunch vs Modern Family.

There are plenty of shows available today that are highly sexual, but most of them have moved out of the mainstream because you can cater to the niche more than if it were for a general audience. Sex Life, Spartacus, etc has lots of sexual content. I'm not sure if Game of Thrones fits with the author's take or mine, but there are likely examples of each depending on the scene. We don't really need this content in blockbuster movies when we can get even more graphic content through these shows.
Not aviation fuel in general. Jet fuel does not contain lead. Only aviation GASOLINE for piston engines contains lead, and that can finally be phased out now that unleaded replacements are available for the whole fleet.
Changes in testosterone levels and the effect o sex drive probably also play a role as men get older.
