Why are you bringing up background actors?

This isn't primarily about background actors (who usually aren't even members of SAG-AFTRA to begin with, because they usually don't even have acting training/experience or anything).

This is primarily about working actors with lines but who aren't big stars able to negotiate their contracts -- we're talking non-lead series regulars, guest stars, recurring guest stars, and the like. Because most actors are working for union minimums unless they're a series lead.

In other words, the actors who make up 95% of the union.

Aside from comments claiming that the article is BS because it is funded by P&G, I can tell that aromatherapy works.

Be scientific, try it yourself.

1. Get 100% lavender oil, put a couple of drops onto your pillow before sleep. Sleep and see how rested you are.

2. Get a diffuser. Set it up drop a few drops of lavender oil in it. Let it run while you watch a movie, read news etc. Feel the relaxation and calm.

3. Drop a few drops of peppermint oil into the diffuser before you do a task that requires concentration. Feel the alertness.

I do not know about the health benefits, but essential oils work on me if I want to relax or increase my attention passively.

I don’t think the main point is that these are exactly the increments. Rather, that it _is_ a series of increments where each step builds on the ones before and enables the next ones. It’s also illustrating the iterative loop from tech vendor to government and the increase from “recommended” to “mandatory.”

We are well along this process already.

Larry Lessig wrote “Code and other laws of cyberspace” back in the 90s (I think). It’s scary how much of what he wrote now looks _optimistic_.

Recommend checking out ASC and Aural Imbalance for modern takes on amen/GLR sound. They release under the Auxiliary label (search Bandcamp for them). A lot of DnB heavyweights are starting to bring back the 90s “intelligent” dnb sound recently. Really great to listen to. Nine Windows (collab between Kid Drama and DJ Trace) are another excellent example (also on Bandcamp).

Hmm. I thought it was engagingly written and enjoyed it on that level. It also contains tons of fascinating details about Kennan that I had no idea about. It's interesting simply for being neither of the two things that articles about Kennan always are: hagiographical or polemical. (It's polemical about other things, in a few passages that are best ignored—but not about Kennan.)

Reading this was a little frustrating, as it appears to be written by authors who have never operated a wood-burning stove, and don't have a great grasp of how fire works.

"In this study, we present air quality and climate effects of previously unrecognized aerosol source, i.e., kerosene-based firelighters that emit more BC than all biomass fuels put together."

Black carbon is formed by incomplete combustion. When temperatures are low, and/or fuel is wet, of course there won't be complete combustion. Of course if you light just a firelighter it's going to throw off a lot of black smoke. Every fire does this when you first start it, because temperatures are low. Same goes with crude oil and coal. Fuels burn poorly and give off a lot of smoke without optimal burning conditions. This should be obvious.

Firestarters work well as firestarters precisely because they are able to start and burn at very low temperatures. The way that they do this is by emitting a large quantity of organic aerosols and black carbon particles at very low temperatures. In a cold environment, the mixture won't have enough heat to fully combust.

If the authors tried throwing a firestarter into a hot fire, they would have seen that it burns relatively cleanly, just like coal and oil would.

Then the authors burn peat, which has an unbelievably high surface area, and think that it burns more cleanly. And of course the tests were done by igniting a cold sample, so that it would be a "controlled test", instead of a bomb calorimeter style test.

What the authors are doing is reminiscent of using calories measured using a bomb calorimeter to measure how much energy the human body gets. It's garbage science that sounds plausible and has lots of pretty charts, but doesn't hold up to cursory inspection.
Not entirely true. In the end, you pay taxes from the yearly household income and the tax class does not change that. Tax class can only regulate how much of that you pay per month during the year. If you pay excess, you get it back with next year’s tax return. If you paid less than you had to, you’ll have to pay that difference. It makes zero sense to switch to 3/5 if you earn the same - literally zero benefit.
Yes you are immune to the efforts of a trillion dollar industry that has spent the best pet of a century working out exactly how to manipulate you without you even knowing.
I moved to Dubai about a year ago. Many restaurants are halal, no alcohol or pork served, and not being able to order alcohol helps save you a bit of money.

Alcohol is usually the restaurant’s main source of profit since it has the highest margins. Not surprised that drinking goes up with income.

Wait... Why the heck would I give care about what my "peers" (whatever that is) are making as returns? I don't care about keeping up with the Jones.

Does copying my peer's average portfolio somehow protect mine? As in: is that some game theory thing where because they all do that, what they own keeps some value and hence I should copy that?

I'm genuinely asking.

> The fact is that it is not morally acceptable to force others to do what you would like them to do,

Plainly, most people disagree with you. They find it perfectly acceptable to force others to (not) do things.

The fact is that people do not agree what "harm" is.

To pick an obvious argument, many people oppose abortion under _all_ circumstances because they claim it harms the offspring and the mother, while many people support abortion under _all_ circumstances because they claim forcing a woman to carry to term harms the woman.

How do we handle situations where people disagree on the definition of "harm"?

The United States has a policy about government data - including weather (e.g. NOAA) and GPS, to be made freely available to the public. Your property data, collected at the county level, falls under this category so they are accessible to everyone.

However, I think Zillow would be prevented from publishing the owner name, since it would probably be classified as Personal Identifiable Information (PII).

History is written by the victors, and then endlessly rewritten after that. At present, historians are very busy writing the history of subaltern voices - ie introducing stories from marginalised perspectives into the historical record. At the other end of this sausage factory are the consumers who are fed this information which is presented as fact - hardly ever are we presented with the raw evidence that these stories are based on.

I'm very glad that this angle on history is receiving greater attention; it is absolutely equivalent to the replication crisis in science. It seems that all academic endeavours are politicised and bent towards some ends that are predetermined - rather than a natural unfolding of ever increasing understanding.
> The early days of the internet didn’t facilitate trillions in economic value like it is now.

Neither does ads. The “trillions” in economic value are what's driven by the businesses using the internet for their business (say to order food, taxis, hotels, online games, etc.).

The ads-based internet generate only a tiny fraction of that value. In fact, it only generates the low-quality value for which people aren't willing to pay anything. Youtube is probably the only exception here, and in fact if they decided to go fully paid, then many people would probably still pay for it, like they pay for Netflix.
I prefer this reading: https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/sea/winelike-sea

> Rather than being ignorant of color, it seems that the Greeks were less interested in and attentive to hue, or tint, than they were to light. As late as the fourth century BC, Plato named the four primary colors as white, black, red, and bright, and in those cases where a Greek writer lists colors “in order,” they are arranged not by the Newtonian colors of the rainbow [..] but from lightest to darkest.

> The phrase “winelike,” then, had little to do with color but must have evoked some attribute of dark wine that would resonate with an audience familiar with the sea [..] such as the glint of surface light on impenetrable darkness, like wine in a terracotta vessel.

The fact that it attempts to do more things can, in fact, make it more dangerous in the specific situations where a human interrupt is needed. Human attention works better the more it is needed, so if you need a human in the loop, you're best off with a system where their input is needed fairly often compared to a system where their input is needed once every long while.

The other factor is that human attention may be needed in a situation where it is very hard to actively fix the situation if you're not already in the OODA loop. If you suddenly realize you need to override the car, and you're in the middle of a complex merge and the reason you need to override the car is because someone else screwed up, it may not be possible to solve the problem with the extra cost of your attention spinning up.

Well the tax assessment is public probably so that people can see that the government is acting honestly.

I don’t know if there’s a particularly good reason for ownership to be public. Some countries only have transaction dates/prices but not names published. Some countries make everyone’s individual tax returns publicly available. I don’t know why the us found this particular balance.

I assume that Zillow would get a load of angry emails if they published ownership information and it isn’t worth enough to them to publish it.

Not much. Maybe I noticed it because, as a native German speaker, I am a bit more sensitive and also occasionally stumble over a word, I do not know. I just made a test and opened "The Fellowship of the Ring" at a random page. Here (in chap. 8: "Fog on the Barrow-downs") I read:

"The air was growing very warm again. The hobbits ran about for a while on the grass, as he told them. Then they lay basking in the sun with the delight of those that have been wafted suddenly from bitter winter to a friendly clime, or of people that, after being long ill and bedridden, wake one day to find that they are unexpectedly well and the day is again full of promise."

Here my observations:

- It is not that Tolkien avoids words of Italic (Romance) origin altogether. In this passage there are several: "delight" (< lat.: delectare), "clime" (< lat.: clima), "unexpectedly" (< lat.: expectare/exspectare) and "promise" (< lat.: promissum). But he uses such words sparingly. In this way, he still sounds modern and not comically mannered.

- At the same time, is prose has a lyric undertone. He uses discreet metaphors ("The air was growing ver warm agin" [not "getting"], "basking in the sun", "bitter winter", "friendly clime", "full of promise") and unusual, poetic words ("wafted", "clime" [instead of "climate"], "bedridden"). The changed feelings of the hobbits is not simply state (as if to say: "The sun came out and the hobbits' mood improved."), but demonstrated by their behaviour and then explained not with a single, but with a double elaborate comparison that emphasises the contrast between the hobbits previous and their current state.

- His style is plain but not simplistic. The whole passage has a nice rhythm, starting with a short simple sentence, a slightly less simple second and a long third, which is nevertheless not overly complex. He uses simple words to make his point ("very warm", not "boiling hot").

I would suggest you try it out yourself. Just open the Lord of the Rings somewhere, take a short passage or a few lines and write down your observations for at least half an hour. If you feel that you have finished earlier resist that urge and carry on for half an hour. The interesting observations typically happen a while after you have written down the obvious.

Another very instructive experiment is a backwards translation. If you know a language other than English, get a translation of the Lord of the Rings and translate a random page (without looking at the original first, of course) back into English. Then compare it with the original.

Your claim was that nobody wants to live in them. But then why ban them, if no one would build them anyway because no one wants to live in them?

The current problem is that the people who want to live in them are priced out of the areas where they would have to go by the zoning rules they would want to change. Having a 20% lower cost per square foot doesn't make it more affordable to move there when the smallest available unit is required to have three times as many square feet. But since they can't afford to move there they can't vote to change the law there.

It's effectively a local law against poor people living there, which the poor people can't vote against because they don't live there. That seems bad.
Seems we enjoy similar things :)

I recently spun up a MySQL instance outside a container for what I hope is the last time.

MySQL is very attached to /etc/mysql, /var/log/mysql and /var/lib/mysql, which makes sense if one thinks of it as a piece of a distribution and makes no sense if one thinks of it as a service that stores data in a filesystem or directory that one sets up for the purpose. Apparmor and (don’t get me started) SELinux dig this in deeper. What if you want two MySQLs on one host? What if you don’t want to mount something on /var/lib/mysql?

If mysqld were invoked by pointing it at a configuration and data and it just worked, I’d be more okay with it.

The fact that I really don’t want to couple upgrades of MySQL to distro upgrades is just icing on the cake.
