> If I have some sort of a "soul" then it will become more relevant once I'm dead.

That is actually the central concept of religion. The soul you take to the afterlife is the soul you tended to in life.

If you have some sort of a "soul" then they say it is at its most relevant now.

Personally I don't believe, but the small risk of being perceived as an arsehole for all of my life, let alone all of eternity, is enough reason to work on not being an arsehole, and those are "soul" issues. All self-improvement stuff that isn't about wealth generation is.

> It’s a Herculean task trying to teach an academic to code well if they weren’t already coding well.

Code. Test. Optimise.

Thats why fuzzers are important for testing, they brute force stupidity so the users dont have to.
For an IPv6 advocate, this guy sure set up a lot of NAT. And while he claimed he's going IPv6-only, he set up public access via IPv4. That won't convince anyone to switch or upgrade.

I understand that he's building a usable service and just trying to git 'er done, but it's a lot of hacks, so I'm glad they're documented in this here blogpost.

I hope that he can continually probe the edges to find out when real IPv6 support becomes available, and can gradually remove the hacks for a purer experience.
I'm genuinely curious as to why this isn't a problem in Europe. I live in the Netherlands and no one I know has ever received even a single call.

What makes this a problem in the U.S., but not in Europe?
Is that an economic problem or a regulatory problem?
Average of daily surface temperature across oceans, so every point in the plot is basically a day and its respective temperature. The problem is on average the graph lines are moving up on Y axis, potentially causing problems in a longer run.
Confidence and social competence aren't a switch that someone can flip just by trying harder. There's tons of men who have spent years trying to become a better person (therapy, self help, communications courses, education, constructive hobbies, etc.) and have nothing to show for it.
I encourage you to reconsider the things you ruled out. I had some pretty odd views about companies before I started work and I don’t think they’re so correct now.

In particular, you’ll probably find parts of finance most culturally familiar to you (eg this link posted today https://puzzles.nigelcoldwell.co.uk/ which doesn’t really capture that much about interviews but does give some indication of some interests of some of the people who work there). Obviously there is also lots of low-level programming that matters in some parts of finance too.

I don’t think I’ll convince you of much in this comment so I will just note that (a) jobs/culture can be quite varied between different kinds of companies (investment banks v hedge funds v hft v companies that sell services instead of trading), (b) companies are quieter and less good at presenting a good brand than eg big tech so online you may get a worse impression. And I would recommend that you try to find some people you know from school who went into careers like that and ask them what they think about them.

There are other ways of thinking of it too, for example by not working in a higher paying job, you are in some sense giving the difference in income to your employer as if they were a charity (ie if you could get $x for your labour but get $y, it’s like you’re giving $(y-x) to your employer) so you may want to feel that is a deal you’re happy with. If you work for a charity then maybe that feels like a good deal to you, and that’s obviously fine too.
Sure, but that's true everywhere I've lived - people want to get into "good" schools.

But the difference is that in the US, it's pretty common for families or students to aspire to the "best". That's true even in middle and low-middle class families. That's something I never saw in Canada.

That kind of thinking in Canada is limited to the upper class and old money in Canada.

I'm afraid you DO need to be told what to think. especially with the way you conduct yourself
> Science doesn't really tell us what happens to your consciousness after death. It doesn't say much of anything about your consciousness at all

lol what? No. When you die your brain ceases activity. There is no scientific evidence to support that there is some underlying, persisting system that drives consciousness - literally everything points to consciousness being driven by brain activity.

When you die you die. That is it.

> Death is ultimately a natural part of life, and I guess the unknown part of it is so terrifying that we spend so much of life futilely trying to prevent it.

Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's good or something to accept. Disease is natural, do we just go "well it's part of life!" - no, we cure it. And none of this is unknown, it's the known part (ie: "I will cease") that is horrifying.
So, all non-Christian societes are unstable? They live in a primitive state?

What happens as soon as women have the power to decide about their bodies, their sex and love life so is that a certain sub-set of men all get wrapped into brezel shape over this outragious independence. There seems to be a huge overlap of those men and religious conviction. And seeimg themselves as victims of whom or whatever. And then they wonder why they don't get laid or find fulfilling relationships.
That’s insane. I can remember when you could get in a nice (non-Disney) theme park for $30/head.
If TikTok had existed when Rocky Horror turned into a participatory cult thing, don't you think we'd have seen the exact same thing?
We are using "consciousness" with two different definitions. There is a definition of "the thing that observes the universe," which you are using, and a definition of "the thing that contains your self," much less scientific, which I am using. The former definition is very clearly understood, but also doesn't really matter in this discussion, since your observations of the world are very clearly known to be moderated through meatspace, but the "consciousness" in the latter sense persists across so-called "losses of consciousness" (when using the former definition).

It is very legitimate to say that the latter definition doesn't exist, but that is as much a belief as the idea that it does. I personally don't believe that it exists, but I think it's hubris or folly to say that science shows that it definitely doesn't.
Indeed. "Supposed" implies the existence of a supposer. "Supposed" by who, exactly?
You don't need to know which part of the brain corresponds to a conscious mind when they entire brain is dead.
I don't know if they were stock sounds, or just lifted from the game, but so many bad shows use the police radio and fire engine siren from SimCity 3000.
>which granted may be true in the US

I'm a graduate of the public school system in the US in a state that is not in the top 10-15 for education - my high school had a pretty impressive furnace. I'm too far removed to remember what it's maximum temperature was but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 1000C+
Interesting. So this doesn’t exhibit flux pinning then.
> It reached 20.96C. That's far above the average for this time of year.

Nothing to worry about. A new era has just started, and LK99 levitates still at 22C. Once there is nothing left to protect in the oceans, we can work on finding a way to magnetize them and get floating ships!
In what way is the commenter "blaming" the library? This is simply the reality, that many libraries are unsafe.

We've got a library out here where the employees can get trained in adminstering Narcan because people frequently overdose at or around the library. I don't blame the library, but at this point, I don't even think it should be called a library any more. It's a temporary homeless shelter during daytime hours.
I remember the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry being an incredible place in the 1970s. I think it was in the 1990s I was there for some reason and it was pretty much gutted. Maybe the decline in American museums has been going on quite a while.
> So yeah, ultimately, they removed the sex scene, and I think the movies are better for it.

My opinion is that, just like with "foul language" and violence, we are speaking of artistic devices. These are tools. Does it aid the story or detract?

I was a child of the 80s, so I remember the 90s very well. I remember people complaining about "gratuitous" sex scenes.

But how do you tell the story of Basic Instinct or Cape Fear without the sex scenes? You know, the ones where the murderer kills during sex.

In forbidden love stories, a well placed sex scene can represent crossing the Rubicon. The point at which the characters decide to break taboos and expectations and proceed with their relationship, despite the inevitable consequences that are to follow.

I never read or saw 50 Shades of Grey, and I know it's probably a bad example due to it's reception, but from what I understand of that story it could not work without sex scenes.

As with everything, use the right tool for the job. If a sex scene is a good way to drive home an important beat in a story, then I say go for it. Just like if a well placed "f-bomb" in a stand-up comedian's joke can drive impact.

One last example / analogy: during the early 00s I began to develop an extreme distaste for CGI and action sequences in movies. Just like with the "gratuitous" sex scene, it was blatant, in your face, over done and didn't seem to advance the story. As a practical FX lover, I thought that CGI was a cheap alternative. These days CGI and modern technology are used in conjunction with practical FX more than ever, so that each can contribute what it does well. At least, when the FX themselves are done well. And I don't remember too many recent examples that remind me of The Matrix 2, where the highway chase scene felt like it went on for hours and contributed nothing but boredom.

When we recognize that these elements are tools, and that the best result comes from choosing the best tool for the job / problem at hand, then anything and everything ought to be on the table.
I don't understand why people are attaching any weight to Alexandra's claims. AFAIK, it's a pseudonymous account that has provided no evidence that couldn't be easily faked. You might object that the evidence provided by the non-pseudonymous scientists could also be faked, but the key distinction is that they're attaching real, professional identities to their claims. There are reputational consequences to making things up. They have skin in the game. A pseudonymous account doesn't. Why should we believe them?

The line shown is a spatial average: its value is the average over all (measured) points of the ocean, at a given point in time. It's not a model prediction, these are actual recorded temperatures.

The graphic is illustrating how the current year compares to the cluster of previous years. It would be more informative if it were interactive and you could hover over or label other years, but that requires Javascript abilities that this news outlet doesn't have. I think I've seen other presentations of this data and there is a clear later-is-hotter trend, but it's subject to the normal El Nino / La Nina oscillation plus random fluctuations.

The bar graph is measuring a different quantity: it's ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific (vs. all over the world), and specifically illustrates the El Nino cycle. The reason this is important is because overall ocean temperatures tend to be cooler in La Nina years anyway. One point of this research is that the naturally cooler temperatures from La Nina may have masked ocean warming that would've happened over 2020-2023, and now that we're switching to El Nino conditions, the temperature increase will come back with a vengeance.
I fail to see how that fits the paradox of tolerance. Popper's proposal was that those we should deem intolerant to the point where the rest of us should not tolerate them are:

- intolerant to the point they do not engage in debate and the political process, or prevent others from doing so

- urge or use violence instead of debate and the political process

Eich made a donation to a political campaign that, to the best of my knowledge, engaged in debate and the political process and did not use violence, and I'm pretty sure someone would've brought it up by now if it had.

Look - I cant claim that there weren't repeated and deliberate bad decisions, and I can't claim that being funded mainly by google gives the best incentives.

But it is really a nonprofit in that (like the sibling says) the corp is fully owned by a nonprofit, not public shareholders.

And its not like google doesn't get anything out of their $. They get set as the default engine. Apple gets paid hundreds of billions by google for this. So its not like Google is paying Firefox for control over it's development.

Like, seriously,

>The main thing that made general aviation a far less accessible proposition

Meh, where I live, what made general aviation inaccessible is the fact that boomers and geriatrics have filled basically every airfield parking lot with planes they are keeping indefinitely in storage.

The only ones using the planes are the guys able to pay for the private corp owned hangers

>That’s why a new Cessna 172 is three-quarters of a million dollars.

It was interesting what Singapore did. Basically all numbers need to be registered, otherwise the default caller ID is "Likely SCAM".

The government gave companies a heads up, but even Singapore Airlines and a few major banks had to send out emails apologizing for their texts being labelled as "Likely Scam" right after the change.

Suffice to say legitimate companies got registered really quickly.
The elites/ruling class/owners of that society should then pay entirely for all medical care and raising children then, if they are that concerned. And also provide decent housing condition. Children can only make one who is not of the elite/ruling class/owners economically worse in modern societies.

> if she already experienced the same exact bond and maybe a stronger bond with 20 other men in the past

Says who? I don't know what's so hard to understand about this. How many friends have you had over the years? Should your current friends be wary of the fact that your "friend count" is so high? Seems like your bond with them is pretty weak if you had the same exact bond with hundreds of people in the past, and they should steer clear of you.

The idea that you should commit to the first friends you make is just as absurd for partners.
Was there any form of formalized scientific method at that point? I'm not sure it's fair to say that anything about mummification was science based unless you're using the term very colloquially to just mean "what people thought was right".

Empirically, we're obviously way ahead of where humans were at the time of mummification, so I think it's a silly comparison anyways.
Only if you’re doing sexy science.

The peer review system is broken but I think we still need some sort of structured system in addition to this “hey world, check this out!” method.
I find pretty much all politically active environmentalists to be economically and sociologically illiterate. Proposals range from, "let's turn off the economy", to "let's reduce the standard of living" or "let's just increase the cost of living 10x as much". That is not to say that the economists are any better, because they are often sociologically and environmentally illiterate.

It seems that to be politically active you have to turn off part of your brain and accept whatever ideological bullshit your chosen tribe pushes fervently as their doctrine.

I do not think you can actually achieve much politically at this point in time, without angering and alienating a lot of the electorate. The environmentalists say, "fuck them, we will force them with laws" and the economists will say, "fuck the poor, we will create a pay to play system so that the rich can continue with their lifestyle and the poor will be priced out of it".

I think democracy only works because it averages over all these very different groups to get a solution that satisfies nobody but is somehow pointing in the right direction.
I just assumed the labido waned. After experiencing trauma, both myself and partner haven't really been into that. Add the pandemic, and it's a downer. I now have a tumour in the nethers, and that's kind of killed all opportunity. Appreciate it while you have it.

But one thing that annoys me is the thin line between perversion and respectability. And it swings drastically all over the place.

It's normal for people to want sex, fantasize etc. And quite healthy. But express that in the wrong company and you can be castigated.

As for films I barely ever see any kind of believable relationship. Better call Saul and breaking bad did well. And there are few dramas that make the right nods.

Single people make the effort, those in long term relationships not so much. I remember my partner saying something along the lines of, will you still love me when I am old and fat? I hope so. Then I got old and lost my teeth and partner looks at me and sighs. We still love each other.
I agree that it feels really wrong but I don't think it is actually unethical to lock features like this. (Although the way the locks are implemented may be unethical.)

It allows making multiple logical models with a single production line. This lowers the cost and in theory that is valuable to consumers. I imagine that if there was no ability to "upgrade" later this wouldn't even be news. Consumers would just see it as a base model and a premium model, and Tesla found a very cost effective way to provide two models of car. Or four models if you count self-driving.

But upgrading later is actually valuable. Why not let someone add features as their budget allows? It does "expose" that these are only software locks but I think that is actually fine. In theory it is just the people who purchase the premium upgrades that are paying for these features in all cars. It shouldn't necessarily affect the price of the base model and you aren't really paying for the feature unless you purchase the upgrade.
I was thinking the Howard Dean scream
"It depends". Having a mathematics PhD likely means people will absolutely believe in your ability to learn new things and overcome problems. Being able to demonstrate some actual ability and/or projects would be very good. Often engineering positions have certain "requirements", particular languages or software packages and in an interview you likely get asked question about those, either structured "solve problem X" or unstructured "what have you worked on using Y". Not ticking all the boxes is okay, but I wouldn't apply if you don't have any experience with any of the languages asked for.
R&D positions are usually more loose on that and you should expect to get asked more questions about your previous research, oppinions on certain subjects and so on.

In general I would say that applying never hurts. Make sure that any application includes something which makes it clear what you are interested in. Likely your particular mathematics skills won't be that relevant, so don't overly focus on them.

Embedded is a large world, from small Linux machines down to 8-Bit controllers. Knowing that landscape and where your skills/interests are in is important. I would suggest looking which companies are interesting to you and/or near to where you want to live. Also make sure where in the supply chain you want to be. At the bottom you have semiconductor manufacturers (TI, Microchip, st, NXP, etc.) and at the top you have "real products" (Boeing, Ford, Raytheon, etc.) in between there is an enormous range of suppliers and sub suppliers.
Their whole thing is in-space manufacturing in general, and stuff in space could make use of an RTAPS. I don't think the parent comment was anything more than "It'd be cool to see the space manufacturing company manufacture the thing they were one of the first handful of people to potentially publicly replicate"

I'm unconvinced that "talking through your emotions" makes sense or is wise.

Both "talking" and "emotions" developed in central nervous systems at times far removed from each other, and there's little reason to believe that those software systems are connected... or even compatible.
To be a bit more fair to the Chicago Field Museum, the base ticket price is $30 for out-of-state adults, only more if you want access to one of the extra ticketed experiences, which are nice, but you can kill a full day on just the base ticket and have a great time. Ticket prices are also cheaper for Illinois and even cheaper for Chicago residents.
