20,000 years ago is way too recent. Aboriginals arrived in Australia 50,000 years ago after which they were basically isolated from the rest of the world until the British arrived. Unless you believe humans developed language at least twice it has to have happened before that.

Also there are several stories which are believed to be quite a bit older than 20,000 years.
Yeah, every single time I get a spurious password reset email (presumably from someone trying to hijack my account), I'm worried they've somehow managed to add an unauthorized recovery email address outside of my control. It hasn't yet happened to me, but as we can see from this story, it is absolutely possible unfortunately.
Probably plenty of factors, including chance, mostly chance I suspect.

A combination of particular needs, like what you are describing, opportunities, like the right species of plants and animals, the rights ideas, enough success for the agricultural tribes to survive and a willingness to expand and develop the ideas.

It can take quite a while before everything goes together.
Kitchenaid stand mixer and blender are the oldest things I can think of. Probably around 20 years old.

My hope, disguised as a hypothesis, is that we're gradually shedding the superstitions of our past, and in so doing, are descending, albeit temporarily, into a local minimum. Eventually, we'll find our way up to a higher peak where compassion and collaboration are the order of the day without attachment to unfounded beliefs.

Only for Israel to bomb it all away after one setback? What a waste. The Oct 7 attacks were horrible but the response was not proportionate or productive.

Over 47% of Palestinians are under the age of 18, meaning they have grown up only knowing the post-2005 situation. Which can rightly be described as an open air prison with no hope of the opportunities all humans deserve.

Israel - and the rest of the complicit world - allowed a generation of prisoners to be born under Hamas and is now massacring them like fish in a barrel. You can call that a naive view too, but I doubt history will look kindly on all the justifications.
And to throw out another factor that messes up this analysis:

Most accidents involve the interaction of two cars. The faster vehicles get to their destination the fewer vehicles are on the road at any one time and thus the fewer interactions there will be.

I have no numbers on how big an effect this would be.
Six Feet Under had arguably the greatest finale of all time. It's been like fifteen years since I watched it and I still think about it.
We tried. They weren't interested in peace. Plus there's a difference between Gazans (Hamas) and West Bank arabs (Fatah). We are not committing genocide, but Hamas definitely are trying to.
They sure can. It's their right[0]. It might be a bad choice, but it's theirs to make. There are enough sensible people to attain a good % of vaccination for whatever transmissible illness. We can avoid trampling on others' rights by ensuring a high standard of education -- the problem solves itself when people understand how/why things work the way they do.

The patent folks are pointing to is not what this Holotile is made of. The Holotiles are slanted disks that can both rotate around the vertical axis and the slanted axis, with control motors for each tile. The Ultrasonic stuff is for a different use case, though could be integrated into this, it is not the primary motive mechanism.
Not "woke" climate change only studies designed to propagandize / mitigate climate change. But read enough disparate industry analysis and you can connect the dots. i.e. up here in Canada, we'll gain arable land with receding tundra, we have large reserve of every mineral you can imagine. Shit hits the fan, supply chains get disrupted, we will tear up indigenous ecosystems to process rare earth and play to our geoeconomic strengths while poor global south chokes from web bulb. We'll burn extremely poluting tar sands oil / discover more coal veins to gasify into fertilzer. We'll gain transit dues when North West Passage becomes reliably passable. Geographically isolated, we'll have large oceans and militant US to drown/shoot climate refugees. On balance, we have potential do significantly better when everyone else does worse. That's not pleasant, that's not what anyone respectable would write about, but when things get bad, that will be reality. Some winners can win big, or at least much more than they (and others) lose. And I'll be walking around winter in shorts, angry that I spent 100s on a nice winter jacket and feel bad for rest of world. Like that's not going to be the narrative being sold. But as soon as the economic benefits come, people who benefit will shrug, and maybe do performative protest. But in the back of their minds, they'll appreciate their good fortunes.
I've thought about it, but my dogs are large and might gnaw or mangle AirTags in an instant while wrestling. Maybe if the AirTags were in a skin tight pouch of ballistic material attached to their collars...

yup, i feel a similar struggle doing Free Software development. i'd love to just hack and code on projects unpaid, but i can't afford it and the publicity i can get out of it is not enough to attract paid work. at least within FOSS the work we do is for other FOSS users and contributors who all know that, so nobody is brazen enough to make such requests.
ChatGPT says: "If you travel from Washington D.C. to Boston and then continue in the same direction for the same distance, you would arrive at a point with the approximate coordinates of 45.80°N latitude and 64.73°W longitude. This location is in the Atlantic Ocean, southeast of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada."

Quebec is a pretty big province (with almost the whole population in the south part anyway) but also a city. I guess an American can easily picture the location of Montreal 45.5°N (30 miles north of New York/Vermont) or Quebec City 46.8°N (70 miles east of north Maine). Both are quite south of London (51.5°N) or Paris (48.9°N). (For reference, most of the US-Canadian border runs along the 49°N parallel.)

No. I'm saying that Watts and McKenna (specifically Watts and McKenna) are bullshitters, floating along a much deeper and powerful current.

As for the actual currents (as partially enumerated), some were true believers, some weren't. Until proven otherwise, I think Guenon was legit--that his ideas were his own, he took both the credit and the blame for them, and gave credit where it was due--as opposed to someone like Blavatsky who was a mascot, or someone like Huxley who was really more of an engineer, but delivering his blueprints in a wrapper of plausible deniability. Whereas the characters and schisms within Masonry are so broad that a hundred books could be written, and we still wouldn't have scratched the surface.

Conspiracy or not, I have outlined a genealogy which is easy enough to verify--at the touch of your fingertips.

In general I agree with this. But on the specific case of intellectual property I do not.
I also found the close up video to be self explanatory but I understand the confusion. People are thinking of it as multiple tiny treadmills that change direction rather than the spinning disc it actually is.
It doesn't cost $10M in equipment costs to create a basic fabrication facility for short-run metal parts today, right? You pay for land, permitting & compliance, construction, etc. Machinery to cut "consumer-sized" parts out of metal stock, or to stamp sheet metal, usually costs six figures or so.

Lost wax casting, which is done with CNC-machined molds, isn't a capital-intensive process either.

I wish there were some data backing the claims and maybe a rubric comparing it to other pasta geometries. Optimizing my pasta experience keeps me up at night. Or maybe that's the indigestion.
Fashion items, stainless steel jewelry sold for the price of silver. Their smartwatches are hybrids, but I've never liked their baroque designs. If I was buying a fashion watch I'd probably get a Skagen instead, which is also owned by Fossil.
Sorry, but that won't work. Hamas still have 130 hostages, and they shoot mortars, missiles and kamikaze drones into Israel with increasing technology and firepower. They have 20,000 combat soldiers left, so unless we leave several division on their border (which would be insane), they're just break through the fence and slaughter us again. I appreciate your attempt to come up with a solution, but it is not at all connected to reality. Hamas will not just sit in Gaza and wait. They showed us that on October 7th. Either we wipe them out or they will slaughter us again.

>- I can text you, from my number, from the command line (curl API)

For SMS, Google Vooice both sends to and receives from email. I have a cronjob set up to `mail` a TextNow number that needs activity every 28 days to stay alive.

>- CC incoming texts to a mailspool which allows me to browse my SMS history as if it were email (this one is particularly nice).

Oh, I like this. I tend to delete most of my SMS-via-email, and the texts are always searchable in my Google Voice account, but can definitely see the appeal of always archiving all incoming texts with my mail so that I can use `mairix` for search.

>Finally, I cannot participate in a discussion of hosted/VOIP vs. physical SIM numbers without reminding readers that a "2FA Mule" solves the problems of providers not supporting VOIP numbers for 2A:

Nice. I do use my phone's SIM (now eSIM) number when (and only when) 2FA won't take Google Voice, but if I decide that is a meaningful security flaw, your approach would work.

Speaking of telco superpowers, I don't know if Twilio lets you do this but Google Voice has always supported voice calls by browser. The only time I make or answer a phone call on my phone is when I am away from my computer. When iOS 8 appeared, I'd enjoyed the equivalent of Continuity for years.
There's beauty in knowing that one could be ported and run perfectly fine on any old 8 bit computer! So simple yet mesmerizing...
I'm arguing shitty carriers can make shitty policies regardless of the underlying technology. It's not like eSIMs forced them to do that policy, the carrier just decided to be shitty all on their own. eSIMs can be delivered entirely digitally, so in reality they should be even easier and have even fewer needs to ever be in person.

eSIM didn't make that policy, your carrier did.
You’re skipping over the crux of my point: it’s Apple’s platform. They don’t have a monopoly, so why should you or I have any say in what they do?

There are plenty of alternatives. You and many other people saying the same things are ignoring the benefits of their walled garden. You might disagree and that’s fine. Vote with your wallet, not with regulation.
I see your comment is dead. Not me.
Your points are generally correct.

It can be tiring to always have to take the high road with certain groups that always seem to be the quickest to blame others (like Christians).

So, honestly. I am struggling to find the word for a religious group that has drifted far from original teachings and have incorporated many aspects of their professed opposite views?

When studying Christian Culture. It is a valid thing to study. Like why are they both pro-guns and killing, and also anti-abortion. Why are children the most important thing to protect, until they are born, then they should be cut off from health care. Why do they worship Jesus, then abandon the teachings they disagree with.

I'd say something like "cultural schizophrenia"?
Not only am I unable to touch two fingers behind my head with my eyes closed, I'm not able to do it in front of my head. I can easily touch my nose with my eyes closed. Is there something going on where there's one less degree of freedom with the nose, which makes it easier?
When dealing with Arch vs. Ubuntu - it is more about "Mostly unmodified upstream software" vs. "Canonical customized software", as opposed to "stay on the bleeding edge" vs. "be stuck with a year old packages"

I am using same Arch install on my desktop for the last 7 or so years. So far, the only time it broke for me was during the whole pulseaudio -> pipewire jump. Half of that is probably due to my pulseaudio tweaks. There's always Manjaro (I use this on my laptop) or other semi rolling release distros too. You are still subscribed to the same repositories but your updates lag by a month or two and would be released to you only after they are happy with their tests.
I always thought it was due to the Sahara, I often read about how Sahara sands turn European cities Orange during sandstorms, you'd think the same could be said about the weather

> why not make friends with people you spend a lot of time with?

All well and fine if you can, but you shouldn't be forced to. And it shouldn't be the only way to make friends. People with that mindset typically have other social groups.

> I think it's a good time to focus on ameliorating the negatives

Agreed, and this is something we should've been doing starting decades ago (see: Bowling Alone). We already link health insurance to peoples jobs, it shouldn't be a persons entire social life.

> 1. Where is this number from?

My Excel model. As someone passionate about the concept of remote work, and having a material component of my net worth invested in remote orgs, it is top of mind (and important to bring evidence for people's feels about the topic of remote vs office). I should probably just publish it as an Airtable.

> 2. In the grand scheme of things that is a teeny number. Not really surprised given as remote work is relatively new, but that number in and of itself is not really evidence for remote work's advantages over in person.

What number would no longer be teeny?
Better question can the flight attendant buy puts? What about the air traffic controller who handled the emergency? It’s the exact same information.

This is where insider trading rules just don’t make sense. Here’s a good example. You can buy credit card data from Bloomberg that will give you near accurate information on revenue. For earnings, you can pay to see if a company will meet expectations and trade off that information. If you work for the company, it’s insider trading. If you work for the credit card companies and get the same info and trade on it, it is also insider trading.

Maybe we should make insider trading, trading off information that isn’t public.

A communications network that works with an average latency of five years (the average distance between stars), and an edge case of millions of years would be all but useless. The civilization that started it might not even be the civilization that receives the first message, or even the same species. And what does "important news and communications" even mean with that kind of latency?

Also there is signal degradation to consider. Depending on their broadcast strength, there is a limited range beyond which any signal they send will be indistinguishable from background noise. According to this quora post[0] that limit could be as little as four light years. It certainly would not work on any significantly pan-galactic scale. Lasers would fare little better, they would also diffuse and be absorbed by interstellar material.

Also, at that scale, whatever message gets sent may no longer be relevant, or factual, by the time it's received. A lot can happen in a million years. It's difficult for me to think of a message worth sending that also doesn't matter if it takes longer than the time it took humans to evolve to get from point to point.

Would you really call adjusting a statistical window "playing around with numbers"?

It doesn't look like they tried multiple parameters to get a result they liked, they just looked at the time frame that made sense.
On top of this there's a negative feedback loop. The ball whose territory gets smaller has less distance to travel between hits.

This means that even if there was anything resembling a "win" condition it would be hard to achieve.

I love how the author blames the market and then goes on to explain the government created subsidies in the first place.

If you let the market do his thing the growth would have matched exactly what consumers wanted.

We also had some moderate subsidies in my EU country but we didn't get fast salesmen and crappy products. The quality was reasonable. I suspect this happened because the subsidies were not large enough to warrant the business model.

We, the middle class taxpayers, just gave a bunch of free money to the people who own houses and who were smart enough to buy solar panels - which happened to be quite rich already.
I disagree. While I agree there will be more conflict, I find that more conversations and open dialogues tend to reduce escalation rather than the alternative of letting people fester in their emotions that come about long gaps between communication.

It's a completely different world when you can be talking to people on the other side of world in realtime, all the time, with a device in your pocket.
In some states, even a conviction for rape doesn't terminate parental rights.

One fun aspect of living on/near a military base is when coyotes make homes for themselves on the plains of the artillery range. Once the monthly shelling starts, they flee into the surrounding human communities. Then waves of missing-pet posters go up.

Ruskie and Ukie troops are both dealing with rat infestations for the same reason. Their natural predators are driven away by combat, so rodents are breeding like crazy and harassing both sides.
There is no mention or even an attempt at trying to figure out why that would be someone's reaction. He's not the only one, many people have left SF including myself. My conclusion was also that the city was getting mismanaged. This article just wants to gaslight people into thinking those who think SF is crumbling are insane, and this is part of the problem.

The same party has been in charge of SF for decades, yet they are not to be blamed? Why are people so extremely partisan? I wish there were more than two parties, but unfortunately if one of them isn't working for a city, you only have one other option, and so far it seems politicians have succeeded at demonizing the other side and so people can't fathom voting for the other side even though that is the only way to bring real accountability at that level.

I hope this is all nonsense and SF will recover, however my own personal experiences tells me I need to be far away from that city and never go back. My personal conclusion is also that the leadership of SF is doing this for political reasons, and somehow people are still defending them instead of trying to hold politicians accountable by taking their power away.
