I don’t question that something is happening that we experience as time. But the point was that the ways we commonly experience it tend to instill ideas about what it is that seem not very close to whatever is objectively happening.

I think the point about the flow state is that it’s one of the most reliable ways to disconnect from that common experience, and doing so regularly starts to reduce the primacy of the constructs we’ve built on top of it.

Another way to put this is that the common clock and schedule oriented notion of time is just a complex set of concepts and labels and increasingly granular slicing of ongoing experience into chunks we can use to reason more effectively about other aspects of experience.

It’s extremely useful to be able to make plans with a friend at 3PM next Thursday. 3PM next Thursday doesn’t exist.

Understanding the rate at which phenomena occur helps us develop increasingly useful and accurate world models. To understand what “rate” even means, it’s necessary to build up some concept of time.

What I’m mostly pushing against is the primacy of that construct. The pervasiveness of clocks and schedules to a point that it feels like they rule us. The past and the future tend to feel like places that exist. Time tends to feel like some kind of arrow. We’re always coming from some point in the past or going to some point in the future. A useful tool to help us make sense of our memories, and decide what to do next.

But the role of time in what actually happens at any given moment seems pretty unlike our experience of it, which seems to be something we largely manufacture to make sense of the rest of human experience.
But.. it really does. As most states don't require annual inspection, you are free to smash up your odometer and sell your cat to the scrapyard. It hurts the resale value, but it's not illegal to do this at all.
And an issue where if not regularly rebooted, preferably with staggered (by days) reboots, they lose all power, including instrumentation and controls, after 248 days of uptime.

Additionally an Airworthiness Directive from 2020 requires, at least in europe, to reboot more often than 51 days due to stale data in common core system, with various network packets being dropped and system showing incorrect data to pilots.
Using a looser definition of the solar boundary, we are all “in” the sun’s atmosphere, the density of which is ~3-10 particles per cm*3 near Earth.
> encrypt the data such that the insurance companies cannot target any particular individual (which is my problem her) but they can use the data to improve their insurance pricing models

We already have population claims statistics, a product of regulations that require reporting. What insurance companies want is discrimination within the variation.
That makes no sense. You can't form entire stable galaxies and have them rotate cleanly in a disk for millions of years with "chaos".
That's an interesting insight. I didn't notice that Charlie's trajectory also works as an allegory for the regular mental decline of the average person
I disagree. You can mess with odometer as much as you like. Trying to sell it off with a different amount of miles than have actually been put on it is called fraud.

You should own your car and be able to do as you wish. You should also be able to turn on or off any tracking. There are just consequences for some of the things you might want to do.

AFAIK CUA wasn't for GUI apps (i think there was even some DOS-based "demo" that used text mode), some text-based DOS programs used it (the Shift+Ins, etc shortcuts you'd find in Turbo Vision-based programs used CUA).

Also what we often call "CUA" nowadays is actually Microsoft's modifications, even if it was based on IBM's (which AFAIK doesn't have things like Ctrl+V for paste but instead the Shift+Ins i mentioned above).
Could it be because the lack of representation in leadership roles is self-perpetuating?
maybe I'm just doing it wrong, but having looked at these capabilities occasionally, they seem pretty weak.

- There's no equivalent of "git blame" that I can find to see who/when a particular line/paragraph/section changed.

- I can't see if there's a way to view my changes separate from other edits to the document, or isolate changes by single authors generally.

- "diffing" via the "compare documents" action seems to want to generate a new document with track-changes edits for changes from old/new, but mangles the histories to present all changes as by the invoker of the diff, at that time, which isn't all that useful.

It's definitely better than nothing at all, but a long way short of where I'd hoped we'd be regarding collaborative document authoring at this point.
It does however give you a right to download any data that is being collected. I wonder if that's covered by GDPR.

For commiting, I found fugitive (in neovim) quite good. Staying in my editor to list the changes, and select the hunks to commit is quite nice.

I also found the fugitive git blame useful. I am looking at some code and I can quickly look at the recent changes.

But for looking at the history in details; something I only need to do rarely; I struggled with fugitive. I never managed to use `tig` properly. And I sometimes used `git gui` and `gitk`.

I recently tried (cargo) `gitgui` and I found it intuitive. It might be the one. Time will tell.

Feel free to provide better numbers. Those are the two largest most recent projects. That those numbers disagree with what studies say they should be aren't a problem with the numbers, but problems with the studies.

Also you should read up on the difference between power and energy since you're confusing the two in pretty much every line of your post. Watts aren't joules and joules aren't watts.

I think there are a few reasons to be mad about this, but some are better than others:

1) People don't understand they're being monitored. I think this is a good reason to be mad. People should have some understanding of the agreements they make. It's part of being a functional adult in the world. It's also annoying that the companies keep spinning this as a tool to improve your driving, when it's clearly an attempt to price insurance against a person's actual driving habits.

2) The system's assessments are opaque. I don't have a good sense of how accurate any of these measurements are, nor what system is in place to ensure that. If the information collected is consequential enough to double a person's insurance costs, there should be some effort expended to be confident that the collected metrics actually reflect reality. I didn't see anything like that in the article, maybe I missed it, but it shouldn't just be some random team in a private company doing their best.

3) People's driving habits shouldn't be shared with insurance companies. This one ... this one I think is not great. It looks like the shared data at least tries to be anonymous -- they share driving behavior and times, but not actual location data. Heck, I'd be fine with scrubbing the times and just sharing the hard start and stop and speeding numbers (assuming point 2 above is addressed). I get that a knee-jerk defensiveness about privacy would make Thomas Jefferson proud or whatever, but we strike balances on public welfare and private freedom all the time. If you're itching to manufacture 1 gram of ricin to put in a sealed glass vial above your mantle, too bad, you can't. Cars aren't ricin, but they are the shortest path between most humans and homicide. If this kind of intervention induces people to be more careful to keep their current insurance rates, I think that's reasonable. Driving like a maniac is not a human right or a protected characteristic.

In my experience that solves the issue. It’s not the most mobile friendly but workable and my go-to regardless.
I’ve felt the same since the time of CD burners. If someone gave me a blank disc I would burn whatever mix tape they wanted. There were kids charging $10-$15 per custom mix but I always thought it was not cool. Then when I saw one of the teen girls on trial for MP3 sharing I decided to keep everything for my self.

Pay for Plex schemes are similar to the CD selling of the 2000s.
That wasn't Italy, was the Republic of Genoa.

Trying to frame historical states into modern territories (today's Italy began to unify almost 300 years later, in the mid XIX century) makes no sense, and doesn't help understanding the historical context.

For those interested, this is what that area looked like in 1559:

Reddit drove away lots of users via that change, although I expect Reddit's MAU still grew overall due to the continued worldwide penetration of the internet. In addition, while in the short-term it almost certainly lost users, it drove the remaining users towards frontends that were more profitable to Reddit (i.e. away from the website and towards the app), so I expect the company still sees that as a win, at least as far as the IPO is concerned.

However, the deleterious effect on Reddit's overall culture cannot be understated. The people who were most driven away by the API changes were power users, and Reddit has become far more bland and repetitive as a result (to anyone familiar with the tenor of Reddit it may seem hard to believe that it could lower the bar any further, but I assure you, it has). The difference in trending subreddits from immediately before the blackout to immediately after was dramatic; whereas before you could expect the site-wide trending posts to have the nutritional content of cardboard (with the occasional gem from e.g. AskHistorians), it has been replaced with a flood of celebrity drama, ragebait from "unpopular opinion" clones, and ragebait creative writing exercises via dozens of similar "am I the asshole" clones. This is normalizing somewhat as the clones compete with each other and coalesce (Reddit's algorithm tries to limit trending posts to one per subreddit), but it's still a regression.

That said, it's still not the worst that Reddit has ever been; that title still belongs to back to 2016 when TheDonald popularized how to game the trending algorithm via brigading their own stickied posts. But I'm using Reddit less and less as they keep making the experience even worse, especially on mobile, which is more hostile to the Oldreddit interface than ever. After the IPO I expect them to jettison Oldreddit entirely, at which point the site will be beyond useless for anyone who actually wants to use it as a place to read comments rather than as a poor TikTok imitation.
The thing that amazes me the most about Reddit is the site feels as if it has not changed in over a decade. I realize there is a new UI and small changes here and there but fundamentally it feels the same. I am amazed the amount of money they have raised given how little has changed. Equally impressive that they have never added any new substantial features. Something that comes to mind is how often people will search only Reddit for product reviews. Would be interesting if Reddit had built something to make this more streamlined, throw in ads along with it.
I consulted an AI to see if it could recommend a better title for "Lord of the Rings" - and (I am not making this up) it suggested "Ringworld"....
> should own your car

Ownership is a legal concept. What it means, what that package of rights tied to a piece of property entails, is entirely dependent on the law. Using ownership as a guideline for rule-making is bad form because it’s tautology; I can justify and condemn anything on the basis of my or adjoining persons’ purported ownership rights.

The machine languages of ownership are control and possession. That’s what we’re delineating, and unfortunately it generally must be done piecemeal. In this case, the pieces are the data cars beam home. Currently, the manufacturer controls it. You and I agree—I think—that it should be the user, which we—by this conjecture—make its owner. The ownership flows from control, not the other way.

(The problem is trebled with cars given they’re typically driven on roads the driver doesn’t own nor control.)

Interesting; I'll have to check these out. Up until now the exception I had been aware of was the Dutch flag, which in theory had (16th century) been blue, white, orange, but in practice is flown with blue, white, red.

====

I think part of the issue here is distinguishing flags (flown by many people almost all the time) from banners/standards (flown by a small group that can afford to replace them often, only on certain occasions).

So the HRE had a black/gold banner, but when they needed flags, they reached for red/white. (and Muhammad is said to have had a rāya in black but a ʿalam in white; this theory would predict that Muhammad's personal unit would fly the black banner, but his troops in general would have flown white flags)

Then again, maybe black should be added to the basis set (what would this have been? indigo+madder? or after 1500, indigo+cochineal?)

https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/ch-war.html#desc has a chronological list with many pre-1800 blacks, but only two anachronistic choices. (Uri:1291:gold/black, Schaffhausen:1501:green/black, although I should confirm the latter; I'd have expected* gold/black here as well and bet the green is post-Napoleonic) [EDIT: Indeed, now that I read more closely, the colours on the list are indeed post-Napoleonic, and the dates given are only used for sort order. It might be worth looking through some old artwork to see what the pre-1800 colour choices were. EDIT 2: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlachtkapelle_Sempach#/media... shows battle flags exactly equivalent to heraldic designs, but was painted ~250 years after the event depicted, so I'm not sure how reliable it may be.]

That having taken care of Prussia, we're left with León and the Mughals. León the city and León the province both use noticeably redder colours than the purpure of the heraldry of León the kingdom, and the Mughal moss green seems to have been more a banner than a flag, flown infrequently enough to use non-lightfast colours: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Mughal_Empire#:~:...

Maybe I should say "usually" instead of "fairly reliably", but the exceptions have thus far been reasonably exceptional.

* fun fact: the penis of Bern's bear is hilighted in red, but that of Schaffhausen's ram retains the background gold.
I think FfA is a bigger part of our culture than we realize. I use it to describe the 12 hours between waking and adderall wearing off and most people track (a non-frivolous comparison).
> I am a Hayekian and I believe that regulation will not help with people that know the ins & outs of the regulation, also it's doesn't stop them. It just means corporations are willing to misbehave as long as they can play the legal gymnastics and pay rudimentary fines.

So you try nothing and are out of ideas. Amazing.

> homomorphic encryption

Let me get this straight, you think regulation is too hard because corporations don't want it, but you don't see any problem with homomorphic encryption, which is difficult to implement, poorly understood by consumers, AND provides privacy guarantees that corporations don't want?
