Which makes GRRM's criticism of Tolkien's world-building even more bizarre. "Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?"

There will be two broad types of people: those with interest in fiction, and those who prefer non-fiction. The more you can offer something from each group, and from a few different genres / areas in those subgroups, the more people will be able to find their sweet spot.

For extra credit, analyze which subjects each person is learning the best from, and give them more of that. Eventually you should be able to find patterns and know when to switch things up by finding each person's learning cadences... romance, romance, chemistry, nature, romance, etc.

It reads as a direct word for word translation of English as opposed to native speaker conveying the overall meaning using native language idioms and such. Its very difficult to translate things word for word and have them sound „native”. That’s why when you have side by side text is something complex, like a novel, translating authors often take creative license with text to make it sound reasonable.

> I have the same feeling about how the word 'literally' is now defined as 'figuratively' in some dictionaries.

This bugs me for the opposite reason it seems to bother you: this definition is wrong descriptively; the figurative use of “literally” doesn’t mean “figuratively”, it means “as if literally (in the usual, literal sense)”, and is applied to another expression used figuratively (that is, it is a mechanism for claiming the proximity of a figurative use to a literal one, not for marking a use as figurative.)
Seconded (though I subscribe to Netflix and not Spotify).

As a prelude, I should note that I strongly prefer listening to albums over singles, which puts me in a minority, so the following probably doesn't apply to you:

I've been purchasing music since the early 90s, and specifically on CDs since the mid 90s. Currently one month of Spotify costs about the same as a new album, and 2-10 used albums, depending on what sort of deal I can get.

In a counterfactual world in which Spotify existed in 1995, Let's say I purchased mostly new albums for an average of 1.5 albums[1] per month instead of paying for Spotify. I would end up with 342 albums, which is a pretty decent variety. I just checked my library, and I don't own quite that many. Part of this is due to how @#$# expensive CDs were when I was at my poorest[2]

1: This is probably low, because I might pick up 10 albums for $10 in one visit to a flea-market or via a craigslist find, while I'm not going to go on a triple-digit new-CD binge.

Yeah, but that's not why there's a "shortage" of drivers.

There is absolutely no upper limit to driver pay and no nameless bureaucrat filling out some permissible wage table but only "what the market will bear".

From experience I can tell you the main two culprits are it's kind of a shitty job and it's kind of a shitty job that can turn into a really shitty job (or no job) really, really fast.

No serious solutions ever treat it like the quality-of-life problem that it really is -- parking is a major problem, shippers/receivers suck up large quantities of unpaid time and living in a truck/being away from home for weeks at a time is not for everyone are probably the top 3 complaints I would hear. Well, and all the crazy shit the "4-wheelers" get up to but that's usually entertaining.
Haha yup... It was worth... my time

but i also understand the author as i recently pursued a master's degree 2 years ago, made it halfway through the classes, rushed to publish one completely bs paper, gave a presentation on it during a virtual research conference (one of several hundred that happen every year), received a "good job"/"atta boy" , was then asked to continue to write more papers and become an aid for the professors... So forth.

What I hate here more than anything else is the bait-and-switch and bundling tactics.

If Amazon had just had video-on-demand where you would pay for video and be able to watch it, that would have been fine. But they bundled it together with Prime and offered all sorts of free or discounted content instead.

Now they're jacking up the price.

This sort of tactic, of eliminating the competition through steep discounting and then raising the prices once you have a foothold is exactly the sort of thing that antitrust law was designed to handle, and even in the "customer harm" framing of it this seems like a clear violation.

I guess the best term would probably be 'searchability' then. You want something where info comes up if you type it into Google/Bing/Kagi/your search engine of choice, and where there's enough of a community that other people will have experienced similar issues to you in the past.

(for this reason, it's also probably better to choose projects with unique/well known names that don't conduct their support operations on Slack or Discord).

It’s a function of where you live.

If you’re in one of the cultural capitals of the US you get 1-day shipping. I mean, if they had 5-day shipping in Hollywood it would be a running joke on sitcoms that Amazon Prime was slow. If Jim Cramer got 5-day shipping you’d never hear the end of it on CNBC. If my Congressman got 5-day shipping in Washington, DC he’d know that I get 5-day shipping.

I live in a rural area that is a few hours from NYC by bus and just two hours from a huge AMZN warehouse. It’s notorious though that people in the same zip codes as those warehouses sometimes get 5 day shipping.
Someone should investigate this trend, give it a controversial name, and then dedicate a large chunk of their career to publicizing and criticizing it.

IMHO there is some form of crisis of "value production speed" for various programming things.

And AI gives you fast code production speed so it seems to be a fix.

But due to less structured code and code reuse it needs much more code for the same value produced. And it loves to produce the kind of bugs which are easy to pass reviews and tests (because this are the kind of bugs it most likely has as "correct" code in it's training data). Which means less time per-value for human code reviews and in turn lower quality results on many levels.

I originally hoped that with CS/SoftwareDev getting older and less explosive grows and Universities more realizing the (sometimes huge) gap between CS and SoftwareDev the industry would get a chance of consolidating tech and dev processes to fix that issue. But with the rise of LLMs this hope might be further away then it ever had been in the last 20 year.

I've noticed some streaming platforms have ads for other shows/movies they've made. I don't love these but can tolerate them because:

1. They are only at the start of a show, so I'm not interrupted.
2. They offer a skip button.
3. They are ads for somewhat-relevant content and I don't tend to explore the space of other things to watch very much.

That said, it's a knife-edge for me. If they got even a smidgeon worse I probably wouldn't watch anything on those platforms.
Kiwifarms is an absurdly slandered e-gossip forum. poast is a rival community. The poster has no clue who runs what.
My original post, and comment, was that the view of the government at the time was everyday boring security principles that we still use today that mirror a lot of physical security principles. The video goes in detail. I'm sorry I thought you had watched that... If you can make time for it I highly recommend it. It doesn't quite gel with the narrative you have... On public cable television networks nationally, in 1989, senior members of the government spent hours discussing this openly and honestly using the same terms we use today while Mr. Stoll was taking amateur, incomplete conclusions to extremes in the tabloid media.
>In common use it means that something costs more than many people are willing to pay for it.

More likely it costs far less than people are willing to pay for it. When the Colonial Piepline was shut down for ransomware, the shortage occurred because a reasonable populace correctly assessed that the local value of gasoline had just skyrocketed far beyond its steady state price, so the demand became limited only by time and social costs (e.g. you don't want to be the guy whose picture is shown filling trash bags of gasoline) plus ways to store it.
That wasn't a threat. It was a wish.
Any software system that might produce legal evidence should also be an exception… it feels a bit too much of a common case to call it an exception though.

Late last year, I signed up for a daily delivery of a physical copy of The Financial Times. I rarely read news websites, other than HN and Reddit. Why? Because I wanted to be informed about world events but dislike the always-on nature of online news, and because I have a certain romantic ideal of reading the morning newspaper with a cup of coffee. Unfortunately it doesn't arrive in the morning and usually comes around noon.

How has it been? Both good and bad. I do like having a physical paper put in the mailbox, as it's fun to look forward to a "delivery" every day that is more real than just looking at my phone.

On the other hand, I find the FT to be worth reading only about every other issue, largely because there simply isn't enough news to report in 24 hours. The opinion and editorial sections make up a decent portion of the paper and largely aren't worth reading. But, every other issue or so, there are a few excellent articles absolutely worth the price of admission. And even then, the quality of the "boring" articles is leaps and bounds above what I used to read in the NYT or the Guardian.

I'm not sure if I'll be renewing it later this year, as it does feel like I'm wasting a lot of paper – but only on the days when I don't enjoy the articles. I wish they had a twice weekly edition, which would be the perfect interval IMO.

At Amazon we had a policy that each meeting starts with a memo and reading period. Every issue you brought up is true, but also pretty easy to get past.

> people have to read and formulate questions under time pressure

People who aren't good at that still have the option to read ahead of time. They need to know themselves to figure out which kind of person they are. They also have the option to submit feedback after the fact.

> Anyone who did read (or helped write) the documents in question is sitting around wasting their time.

Usually if you were an author or already read it, you either did your emails, wrote your next document, or just showed up after reading period. Sometimes you'd use that as your lunchtime if you WFH while you waited for people to read your doc. Or you would read the comments as they were being left on your document in real time so you could respond or do more research.

But I always managed to fill the time with something else productive. You adapt pretty quickly.

> And of course it doesn't make the meeting any shorter.

This is 100% true. It makes them longer and slows down decision making. But it also tends to mean that decisions can be made (and are recorded right in the doc!) in one meeting instead of multiple meetings, since the main thoughts are already written down.

To be clear, I'm not saying it's a good idea. I found most of the meetings run that way to be a waste, because they indexed on "every meeting starts with a document" even when it wasn't necessary. But it might be helpful to try it for one or two meetings where you are wasting a lot of time talking about things that could have been written down.
You can expect whatever you want.

Meanwhile, one policy may result in what you want actually happening, and another may not.

tjpnz called it "cruel and unusual punishment." Nitrogen asphyxia is unusual, but the fact is that it's not inherently cruel except in a purely-psychological sense, which would be true of any execution method.

Those who claim it is painful are either mistaken or actively lying. We know that because it occasionally happens in industrial accidents, and survivors have consistently described the experience as painless. So it doesn't meet the standard for cruel and unusual punishment as far as the legal system is concerned.

That has nothing to do with whether it's just. No form of capital punishment based on the blatantly-subjective standard of "guilt beyond reasonable doubt" can be just, but that's not what's being discussed here.

Lol history absolutely hasn't been written by Victors. Not always at least. As an example, most "folk knowledge" that is widely spread about WW2 come from post war books by German generals. They spread tons and tons of myths and outright lies that permeated WW2 discussions for like 70 years now. Slowly we are starting to see that disappear but for the most part, allied narratives have taken a back seat in comparison. Especially on anything related to equipment, performance, troop competence etc.
