I’ve attended Blizzcon 2018 and it was a very memorable experience. Not just because it was the pinnacle of Starcraft for me, but also the moment when i saw the first non-korean player to win the championship. Serral, the champion on that year and one of the greatest Zerg player ever, wouldn’t be coming as underdog to the matches with Koreans that dominated the stage for almost two decades. Once the final match was over i heard the most humble and respectful words from the champion to the audience and other players. This was such an inspirational moment for me. Shortly after my starcraft journey ended, the interest faded, but that speech left a huge mark on my further activities and perception of the competition in anything. Reminded me that the race is long and at the end it’s always with yourself.

Humans do lots of things about reasoning. How many times have you heard:

"We've always done it this way."

"It's tradition."

The daughter asks, "Mom, "why do you cut the end off the roast before cooking it?"

"I learned that from your grandmother," replied the mom.

The daughter turned to her grandmother and asked, "Why did you do it?"

Grandma rolled her eyes, sighed, and said, "My oven was too short for the roast."
Are the figures wrong, 20 parts per million of the Earth’s crust, compared to sodium, which makes up 20,000 parts per million? If not, surely sodium will be easier to obtain, in the long run.
Officially supported? Yes. With no changes? Largely, but you usually configure and compile it with your application for the platform you're targeting, so the vast majority of your code should be the same, but it might require some tweaking to any hardware specific initialization.

You can also run it under X using an SDL backend.

One thing to note though, is that, unless they added it in 9.1, certain mouse control schemes that we've come to expect from desktop applications aren't supported. Since it was made primarily for touch screens, it only supports mouse click (tap) and long press, so it doesn't support things like mouse wheel scrolling in a scroll box, or mouse button right click for example. But tapping, sliding, flinging controls and screens like it's a smartphone work really well. I had made a first pass at implementing support for more desktop mouse functionality a while back, but the maintainer wanted a more generalized solution to what I had done, and I haven't had a chance to go back and play with it again. It's pretty easy and fun to hack on the code base. It might not fit the bill for all UI problems as it's pretty low level, but it's remarkably robust and featureful and I had a great time using it for a number of applications on a custom desktop OS in a similar vein to the linux framebuffer.
What about the difference between the Swiss farm and the Swiss market? I was getting fresh milk from a farm for 1chf/L and meat for half Zurich prices.
The Constitution hasn't been amended since 1992, which was 32 years ago. Is this a good sign? That's more than 10% of the history of the nation, which comparatively is a lot of time to not incorporate new changes as society and norms evolve.

It is fundamentally valid to question whether or not the constitution is still an effective vehicle for advocating for the fundamental rights of U.S. citizens.
Automating fundamental activites like farming is a top priority if humanity ever wants to expand to other planets. A lot of things will have to be automated to function completely without human interaction.
Your first paragraph is similar to when I first started traveling and was surprised to hear so much American music everywhere. That's when I truly realized the scale of American cultural hegemony and what "soft power" really means.

I have a couple of gold pans and prospector shovels in my camping gear, I’ve collected about 8.2 grams of gold flakes/specks/dust and a single picker over the last 15 years.

If you know where (and when) to look, you can pretty reliably pull trivial amounts of gold out of the Sierras and it’s foothills.

Going gold panning is basically an excuse to go up to the mountains super early, hike to a remote part of the river, and enjoy nature for most of the day while also enjoying some beer, ciders, and sandwiches with some friends. We pan for gold but also collect some rocks.

People who do this seriously are certainly a type.
Most of the latter ones did receive media time. None of those in the article were arrested for simply holding up political symbols like a swastika or Z symbol. In the entire article, there were only a few controversial ones, from the WW1, immediately post-WW1 era and the Vietnam era, and they have all been featured in media.

I don't think GP was making any predictions, the comment was making an analogy to overly general disease specifications.
This won't work, and they know it so they'll just lie and say yes knowing it can't ever happen. They also have influence and control over this information through the nature of their positions. Look at the recordings that went missing during Watergate.

The reality is those in power must deal with additional threats both foreign and domestic.

Any one of them would say yes, but then claim it would open the country to greater threats if controlled independently (which it does given the sensitivity of the access they have to make decisions), and the mere suggestion continuing this would be unpatriotic since the person suggesting this is opening up the nation to even greater danger. It is not unreasonable.

The Nazi's were clever, and evil, for those who haven't heard this paraphrase, it follows what was said during the Nuremberg trials by Goebbels.

Many people alive today have learned from them. Whether it is to prevent it from happening again (by warning people to action of the subtle indicators), or to follow in their footsteps (to quietly seize power as a demagogue).

Who can know the mind and character of another who only has to lie to get in office then can't be removed for failing to perform. Especially in times where there is little if any credibility or trust left.

the constitution is such a simple document that's been blown out of proportion.
it's not a document telling citizens what their rights are or what they can or can't do, it's a document telling the government as a whole what IT can or can't do.
the amendments limit the governments reach, not limiting the people.

Multi-decade gaps between amendments are not uncommon in USA's history. 1804-1865 was a big gap, and the country was much younger then.
I often wonder this myself. Maybe it is just that difficult a problem. Or maybe it's because Big Pharma doesn't have strong motivation when the treatment is more lucrative than a cure (Tamoxifen treatment can continue for up to 10 years after radiation and chemo for breast cancer, Diabetes treatment life-long, etc.). Maybe it's some of both.

Agreed, and sensitive information can be used to coerce and harass/bully.

Imagine situations where pregnancies and the mere fact that it happened is grounds for the family to throw you out, based on intolerance of their religious beliefs.

Anything that runs contrary to social moors which are no longer cohesive or consistent thanks in large part to marxism (woke/cancel culture) and an undue nihilistic influence, is fair game under critical theory.

There was a big article about 10 years ago (iirc), where as a result of Target's marketing department (data aggregation), the father knew before the daughter that she was pregnant based on her shopping habits (which they correlated to pregnancy).

It's cool to see some progress on aural migraines.

In the past I tried zolmitriptans for it but they don't do much, same with milder pain killers.

My migraines started at 20, two decades ago. I remember the first one like it was yesterday. I was studying CS and was coding on a dark-mode CRT monitor with a big fat window reflection on the screen.

It always happen the same way, with the characteristic jiggles, some kind of colorful, moving patterns of light that start in the center of my vision, slowly expanding to my entire field of view, making me temporarily blind. Then 30 mns after the onset of that, gone. 30 more minutes and the headache + strong nausea start, and immense fatigue. At that point I'm out of commission for a good 12h. Meaning I better be close to my bed, in total darkness.

It really sucks. I used to have them every 3 months on the dot, like on a timer. As I'm getting older I'm having less and less of them, going about a year without one. And they are a lot milder now. I have a lot less of the jiggles, no nausea and the headache is not so bad. I'm still fatigued but usually recover the same day. I consider myself lucky.

It seems to run in my family.

I've tried finding a trigger for the migraines but I have no clue. I used to associate them with bright lights as there is usually a bright light present when they happen, but it needs some other element. Stress and fatigue appear to be factors, as are tanins contained in red wine and beer. But sometimes none of these elements were present.

I have a personal non-scientific theory that serotonin levels play a role. High levels like I think I had when I was younger tend to trigger migraines. As I'm getting older and grumpier, I probably have low serotonin and less migraines...

Not sure what you mean by almost biblical, it’s all the way there. There are the originalists, who believe in interpreting the Constitution as originally spoken by the prophets, er, founding fathers. Basically sharia constitutional law.

The other side believes in the Logos, the living word of the Constitution, which changes its meaning as our society evolves to a more perfect Union.

Everyone considers the canon to be closed and virtually unamendable barring an act of God. If that all is not a religion, what on earth is?
Who decides what those are tho? And how are they sure they aren’t themselves hahaha! :)

Assume your original response was “You?”, then my reply:

For myself, yes. As we all should do. You don’t?

This pertains to some ‘objective’ metric. Who decides that?
> For more proof that the Constitution is a historical document, please see the Third Amendment, which is about quartering soldiers.

I don't see how this is at all irrelevant. The United States cannot sanction civilian property for military use such as quartering soldiers. Why would anyone think such a prohibition is out of date?

All of this is true but... at what cost?

I have worked for a company where the ethos among the workers was very high, but management was exceptionally incompetent at managing. Zero people skills, and deeply skeptical that people skills were even necessary. (Many companies founded by hackers are like this.) So the CEO and CTO asked people to do things, but did no process management at all and just waited for them to be done.

This worked a lot better than you would think. We had hired people who believed in our mission, and mostly people do want to do what's asked of them. Our codebase was pretty lean, even boring, because there was no incentive to do any promo packet type spectacular development.

Projects sometimes took a long time, but they did get done.

But this stops working when you have projects that require coordination between people with differing incentives. Teams grow tired of waiting for the other team to do their half, so mistrust begins to become endemic. In the vacuum, all your hacker ICs grow fatigued and start doing more "interesting" things just to amuse themselves, because, who's really watching them?

TLDR benign neglect, even under ideal conditions, will eventually be a problem. The company's progress becomes slower and slower, and may even start sliding backwards according to some metrics.
Hmm... but does it taste good? If I'm growing my own tomatoes, I'm going for something delicious like a Pink Brandywine or Cherokee Purple (which, compared to this specimen, is admittedly more brownish red than purple).

The last what, 5 amendments were all basic common-sense maintenance updates. The 22nd and 21st amendments were the last ones that were arguably significant.

Do you have anything particular in mind that you think needs addressing? It feels like you're suggesting that liberal society should be making more amendments but I really don't know what America can agree to change right now.

Tyranny by the majority is the worst. USSR, Nazi Germany and the recent draconian controls and mandated medication are horrifying examples.

It's too easy to colide with the stars, make them smaller.

The demo is empty. It needs some motivation to keep people there. For example other games have coins that you can collect (moving coins? gold meteorites?), or even a few npc like an ufo would add some objective while waiting other players.

It's very difficult to navigate spaceships. I made a somewhat similar game with only one star a long time ago so I remember some tricks fot I had to play a few miutes before my fingers got rememebered the tricks.

Based on the privateering clause, it seems Congress could authorize hackers to pwn computers and accounts belonging to an adversary and allow the hacker to keep any gains from that.
Well, there are only 27 ratified amendments total, the first 10 of which were passed at once, so 17 in 248 years makes 32 a little more than twice the average amount of time, but they also tend to happen in clusters, and gaps between clusters have been longer than this before, so I don't think it's even all that anomalous.

I think a more gracious reading would be that the document should be updated regularly to state simply in modern terms the meaning.

A problem, rightfully, of extending “no quartering of soldiers” to mean “no sanctioning of private property for any military use” is that it leaves interpretation to the courts. And we continue to have issue with courts choosing to interpret plain meaning or original intent or twisting the two to their own agenda.
The little anecdote about Peter Thiel about shitty physicists going into biology reminded me of a chapter from Richard Feynman's book, "Surely Your Joking Mr. Feynman".

So it turns out Richard Feynman, after working in Los Alamos on the first nuclear bomb, and before going on to win a Nobel in Physics, actually did a stint as a biologist at CalTech. In fact he was doing some of the earliest work on ribosomes... so fundamental that he could have been the first person to discover that most all ribosomes were functionally equivalent:

"It would have been a fantastic and vital discovery if I had been a good biologist. But I wasn't a good biologist. We had a good idea, a good experiment, the right equipment, but I screwed it up: I gave her infected ribosomes ­­ the grossest possible error that you could make in an experiment like that. My ribosomes had been in the refrigerator for almost a month, and had become contaminated with some other living things. Had I prepared those ribosomes promptly over again and given them to her in a serious and careful way, with everything under control, that experiment would have worked, and we would have been the first to demonstrate the uniformity of life: the machinery of making proteins, the ribosomes, is the same in every creature. We were there at the right place, we were doing the right things, but I was doing things as an amateur -- stupid and sloppy."

So one of the world's best physicists almost became one of the world's most prominent molecular biologists, but actually fucked up the experiment for practical reasons.

I think this really underscores how not every problem is fundamentally a math problem... In the real world, especially with biology there's a shit ton of practical tedious things to deal with that can hamstring even the most brilliant experiments.
Brilliant. The spirit of the law!

Form vs Function, all over again.

Work the function aspect until it is beyond reproach. Then look at form and tweak things until the neighbors don't complain.

Or move somewhere where there are no neighbors, and skip the second step.

History is still OK, it's already there, we have pictures and drawings, with circles and arrows.
