The first TTC manuscripts date to around 300 b.c. and there’s evidence that some of the poems have a rhythmic structure, which could mean some verses were transmitted orally prior to that. So there’s a good chance that it was known prior to 300 b.c. between that time and when legalism crumbled, there were other renowned Taoist sages, such as zhuangzi. So while legalism was still in full force, Taoist ideas were still evolving, granted with less vigor.

I would suspect the “take it easy” part took root due to the strictness of legalism. Indeed, there’s verses in the TTC that I see as a criticism to legalism, for example, 74.

This is not a phone app. Physical demos that propose something that a user has no point of comparison with (new paradigm) absolutely need to be on either end of the maturity scale.

- Or absolutely imaculate picture perfect marketing demos that you can show to non-technical people

Not quite how it works.

These are the instruments we are referring to not the ability of pilots. In fact in RVSM airspace the autopilot must be used.

Instruments must be very accurate given the reduced separation in RVSM airspace. Often on modern aircraft multiple altimeters are compared and voted to provide a single output provided to the displays and autopilot.

Huh? The Closure Compiler is so much more than just "JavaScript but with types". It also provides minification, provided a namespacing system, additional standard library and such.

Unfortunately except for the NEC (northeast corridor), Amtrak operates on rail lines owned by freight train operators. Technically the Amtrak passenger train has priority over freight, but one problem is that when one train needs to bypass another, the freight trains are often too long to fit on the siding, so the Amtrak train must wait instead.
It is worth remembering that traveling by train has essentially zero overhead aside from the trip time. You arrive anytime before the train leaves, you get on the train, you get off the train, you don't have to think about considerations such as parking.
"Adventures in Human Being" by Gavin Francis has an interesting description of the development of the Epley maneuver, which wasn't invented until ~1980. It took some time to be accepted due to a slightly different prevailing theory for the cause of BPPV and "the fact that Epley had been holding vibrators to patients' heads allowed them to label him a crank".
> Thanks. I guess I realize I'm talking about items that people are actually buying -- those show 1, 0, and 2 reviews.

IIRC, AliExpress lists items by "shop," and it honestly it doesn't seem like the listings last very long for stuff like this. I have no reason to believe any one of them are "better," so I just buy from the cheapest one.

Even for Amazon listings for stuff like this, the listing come and go. For that AA power bank, this is the one I got initially (7 years ago), but the listing is no longer active: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCBHZV2/. It had 97 reviews.

However, in this category, I tend to ignore reviews. None of the products are high quality or objectively good, but they're cheap enough (especially on AliExpress) that I'm fine taking the risk.

Yes that is what I mean. I guess more often in public or at some event, but sometimes at one of our homes.

> where I live everybody will assume that when a man and a woman spend time together alone, they are having sex

Here's what I don't understand: if you can't trust your partner to not instantly have sex when you aren't around, then why would you trust them to never be alone with other people in the first place? Does that make sense? In other words:

"You can go hang out with that guy, but don't have sex with him" - impossible, she'd never be able to resist the urge

"I'm going out of town for a couple days, don't go see any male acquaintances while I'm gone" - I trust her completely, of course she'll do as I say

How can you believe both of these things? You either trust her or you don't.
Thanks! I thought something looked amiss and seems a lot was.

This is so true. Oil & Gas loves data and excel. Everything starts with Excel, and when it outgrows Excel the next step is getting developers to build a better solution. I absolutely think this is the right thing to do.

Dont ask, dont tell? And dont scan the napkin
I don't get your point. Amazon literally tells you things like "400+ people bought this in the past month". On top of category rankings like "#3 in iPad stands". It's easy to tell if it's popular or not, if it's something people are actively buying.

If a product is bad, some of those people will be leaving negative reviews, regardless of the number of paid reviews.

Does that make sense? Zero weird about it.
> What is meant by moral relativism in this case I think is merely that morals do not come to us handed down by God or Nature as Chomsky claims, but are a constant choice made by people over a potentially infinite range.

I didn't get the sense he's saying morals are handed down by nature, rather that the potential range is not infinite.

E.g., consider that research where the primate gets angry and starts rejecting its boring food pellets-- and in fact throwing them at its handler (!)-- because the other primate is consistently receiving all the delicious grapes. We humans surely share and exhibit some similar social behavior. That truth doesn't determine exactly how a culture will conceptualize and enforce a sense of morality. But it does mean some theoretical moral systems just won't work in practice. E.g., history hasn't left us with examples of well-fed kings with no king's guards during famines.

So if you're a radical whose theories rely on humans asblank slates on which infinite moral systems may be applied (after the revolution, probably), you're going to have a bad time in the real world.

Digression: I have no idea how this truism fits in with Chomsky's political ideas about anarcho-syndicalism.

My theory is that it's a kind of math that LLMs can do. Not that LLMs are necessarily doing it, but the same thing that makes it easy for LLMs also makes it easy for certain people. They can repeat words and phrases that they hear, and sometimes even rearrange them into new forms! One time some category theory guys were struggling with something and it was equivalent to topological sort in computer science. But the way they were failing at solving it sounded much more impressive!
This isn't really correct, especially in New York which has strong consumer protection for crypto.
I think you could achieve the former more easily than you think. If we suppose you can gene edit to have certain characteristics. Why could they not add birth defects like heart problems and cancer? They then die from a heart attack at 30.

Of course the technology might never get there either but to me gene editing for a birth defect sounds easier than gene editing to live forever but maybe i underestimate the former.
Layoffs are rarely about productivity, especially at super profitable companies. Layoffs are primarily about short-term metrics to drive shareholder expectations. Where those metrics reflect productivity it is generally three or four degrees of separation from any actual productivity data. The thing those metrics are most good at showing are labor cost aggregates versus industry base rates.

The biggest reason for layoffs has always been, and likely will always be, the "C-Suite class" controlling expectations on labor costs (salaries/wages) in an industry. That's why they often happen in waves, many companies at once, it's a pressure release valve to keep the labor market in "control" propagated by the largest shareholders, especially those born and bred into the C-Suites. Those shareholders don't actually care how productive a company is, productivity is increasingly orthogonal to profit. They care how profitable a company is, and companies stay the most profitable when (among other things) the labor market is most effectively depressed (and layoffs are a useful depression tactic) and laborers aren't comfortable enough to fight for better wages.
What does the crypto have to do with it?

I wouldn't recommend giving your hard earned money to people in an unregulated market.

If we didn't have banking regulations, bankers would run off with your money - and when they did - you'd be left with nothing.

At least with FDIC & SIPC - you're not left with nothing when they run off.

Nope. If you time-reverse negative mass it doesn't act like regular mass. Time-reversed negative does fall down in a gravitational field, but it accelerates faster than positive mass does in the time-forward world. (Because positive mass slows down as it rises, while negative mass accelerates.)

Such a shame what’s become of Reddit. Such an excellent resource for knowledge on niche topics and especially good for buying recommendations.

But worse then these ad changes and the API changes forcing off 3rd party apps has been the increasingly overzealous mods exacting control over their fiefdoms, even among top subreddits. Doesn’t feel like you can have a real conversation in many parts anymore unless you toe the line with each sub’s personal agenda. A common example is very left-leaning (disclosure: I consider myself fairly left leaning) city subs barring discussion of certain crimes (see r/Oakland and r/washingtondc).

If Reddit cared about quality discussion they’d take back control from these mods but in the end the only thing that matters is brand-safe content that helps drive revenue. Enshittifcation strikes again.

Anyone know of a good Reddit alternative that has decent traction?

As a business user myself, often times we are simply responding to an edict from Leadership that amounts to: “You guys should have some dashboards!”

Other times it’s because a supervisor or internal customer likes to see certain things on a chart, and putting the chart in Power BI/Tableau/other tool will make them prettier than Excel charts.

Very few people, starting from the top on down, have a good understanding that dashboards mean very little in and of themselves.

I guess you could say the same thing about LLMs, since the initial models were terrible and just basically demos, they shouldn't actually have published those at all?
In theory yes, but in the best cases you would have a very heavy load joined by stitches and not much more. Plus a few flattened tourists at the first breeze. An engineer could design a device gluing a inner core of hard wood or so, but we would need an expert on materials for that, and political will to allocate resources and do it fast.

The tree will regrow from the basis and grow fast for a while, but its health is doomed forever, will be also very vulnerable to cattle and wind (hanging forever from a hollowed trunk). nobody alive will see a 300 Yo healthy tree here anymore.

Acer pseudoplatanus has a semi-soft wood. That fact is relevant to investigate if the Satan's little tool needed help or not. Doing the same with an oak would be much more difficult for an adolescent.

Both have their risks

For example, people that had their crypto on MtGox were still able to file claims for their funds in bankruptcy proceedings

And a lot of them have also been able to sell their claims, for more money than their BTC were worth when MtGox collapsed

At the same time, there’s plenty of stories of individuals loosing their keys, forgetting their paraphrase or getting hacked

Crypto can be pretty risky, regardless of how/where you store your funds
