The weird logic of elon being controversial so this somehow is a good thing
This comes as a surprise to whom exactly? Seems like the ideal scenario for ... insurance. Good health almost always costs nothing, but when an intervention is required, it's crazy expensive. -> everybody pays a negligible amount into the kitty. Since everyone pays in and almost noone takes anything out, there's enough there to cover crazy expensive treatments for the few who need them.
> Company B is investing profits into homeless shelters and schools in your community

Company B doesn't exist. Company A and Company B do the same thing so there's not a choice at the checkout counter.
There is a git sync community plugin and it works well on phones.
Given the immense benefits that some amount of social drinking can confer on an individual, this really doesn't pass the pub test. Reading the article increases the impression further. If drinking less than 11 times a year is not good enough to meet the author's bar, then whatever absolutely miniscule population of people who've literally never had a drink in their entire life there is are going to be subject to so many confounding variables that they'll be worse than useless, there is simply not a big enough sample size of people who otherwise lead completely "normal" lives, and yet literally never touch alcohol, it's absurd.
Totally off topic, but RTS is a weird split genre.

This is a horrible way to frame the study's finding. "1% of people are responsible" sounds like some group is wasting resources, or taking up an uneven share.

The study looks at one year, and finds in that one year 24% of spending was on 1% of the people receiving care. That's not very surprising. 30 years ago I was in a bad car accident. I'm sure the cost of the ambulance, the emergency surgery, and the after-care was WAY more than most people average that year, and easily the most expensive medical year of my life. But it was just that one time.
Honestly just UI tweaks to make the density higher, especially for controls. I could do this myself with mostly CSS if I wasn’t incredibly lazy.
This is how insurance works...
One of the underappreciated accomplishments of Obamacare was the end of those 1m caps. One of the ongoing failures in health care policy is out of control drug costs.
I think it is just that Obsidian has a nerd vibe.
Like Obsidian is to Notion what Neovim is to VSCode. It isn’t immediately obvious why it is better, but one of them is more l33t hax0r.

I used Obsidian for 2 years. But I ditched it because it was local only. And it’s sync capabilities (without storage) cost more than an entire office site + cloud storage subscription package. Ridiculou that they expect 8 Euro per month just to sync (not even store) my data.

I now use UpNote. Which has cloud sync, works cross platform and has a one time purchase option that is less than 50 bucks
Clickbait headline. Better headline: “Share of Teslas being traded in for gas cars declined from 71% to 51% in 5 years”
That's how the spending for anything work out when you have a wide spread in cost. This feels like a very unfair way to present a stat, blaming "people" for consuming more health care resources.
No, they're redundancy either way because both sets of syntactic elements communicate to you.

It'd be even better (in this way at least) if the compiler required they match, but you are also a parser.

> My larger point being that we have to disentangle "what should you do on your evenings" and "what is a good cultural approach to this issue"

Those are actually one in the same for me, or at least two parts of the same answer. People should spend their evenings however they want as long as it doesn't harm anyone else.

I'd be very concerned with any cultural approach to changing behavior, basically "Nudge" with a different name. Culture should be the byproduct of the collective people, a retrospective understanding of what the people already are. Culture shouldn't be a tool for manipulation in my opinion.

This is a bit tangled. I think this is new information but it’s all about Onavo. From OP:

> Note this is different to what TechCrunch had revealed in 2019 in which Facebook were paying teenagers to gather data on usage habits. That resulted in the Onavo app being pulled from the app stores and fines. With the new MITM information revealed: what is currently unclear is if all app users had their traffic "intercepted" or just a subset of users.

So this seems to be new information about the Onavo Android app, but it’s not clear to me if the “install cert” button described was exactly the implementation of the previously reported research cert, or a new vector where people other than market research participants were MiTM’d. The analysis is just a bunch of circumstantial observations that _it is possible_ FB was doing more skeezy stuff than was previously known. But nothing here is incompatible with the previously reported stuff being all that happened, AFAICT.

The TechCrunch article clearly states that Onavo was the method they used to get the FB Research cert onto devices. (Presumably they distributed a different build of Onavo with their enterprise distribution channel), it quotes:

> “We now have the capability to measure detailed in-app activity” from “parsing snapchat [sic] analytics collected from incentivized participants in Onavo’s research program,” read another email.

This sounds to me that there was one Onavo research program, but who knows, we have multiple project codenames.
It is for sure just a funny hobby project, but your statement had me intrigued:

> Suppose in D&D I am told to roll 20 d6, but instead of rolling that many dice I want to roll just two (larger) dice and add a constant. Which standard D&D dice might give the closest variance and what is the constant?

Interestingly, ChatGPT 4o tells me to use 2d19 + 51, even after correcting it and asking for larger dice. Impressive math for sure but not worth much if it doesn't respect constraints. I guess I could try again until it stumbles upon the right answer, but it's all to say it's not quite there yet.
I use Obsidian without necessarily being a vocal advocate of it but if asked I would certainly recommend it.

It’s a nice piece of software not because it’s exceptional in a very noticeable fashion but because it gets out of your way. It’s a markdown note taking app using text files in a folder of your choosing, supporting internal links, tags, and flexible metadata when you need them, with a fairly light UI, good plugins support and ecosystem, and which works on mobile and desktop.

Did it fundamentally change the way I work? Of course no, it’s a note taking app. But it does what I need so I’m happy.
To be more precise: this simplified history suggests a shared "lineage" back to the original UNIXes of all of BSDs (and hence Darwin and OSX) and of the GNU/Linux and other OSes https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/3202

> I would expect my ticket to be free or close to free

Why?

There are plenty of things that are partially subsidized by the government where private entities benefit. Or do you think all of those should be 100% free to you (which is a fine position to hold)?

Remember that while the stadium might be paid for publicly there are still many other costs which aren’t.
You can use git to backup Obsidian for free, it works on every device, even iOS.

And that's where Obsidian is "obviously better" than notion, it has plugins that anyone can develop.

Another reason why it's better, which is also why it can be so easily backed-up to git, is that it uses simple markdown files with 1 file = 1 note. If Obsidian stops working one day for.. reasons? You still have all your notes and can use any markdown editor to use them.

Idk man, it's a massive chunk of Other People's Money too. Prices like this is why Microsoft Teams has dominance over Slack.

There's really two use cases:

1. If you don't use the budget, you have less budget. I see this happen a lot in construction too, where each project has a set budget and it goes down or gets stolen in time. They'd rather pay $25k for the lifetime of a 2 year project than pay $500/month. (the other fear is that these startups shut down in a year)

2. Tax exemptions, or some sort of money laundering where there's more value to pay a big name lots of money.

Building a successful startup is a journey of learning adapting, and executing, and with the right mindset and strategies, anyone can turn their ideas into reality.

a) The Three Big Lies Holding You Back

The lightbulb moment myth
The revolutionary idea illusion
The perfect plan fallacy

Let’s face it, you’ve been sold some lies about starting a business. First, the “lightbulb moment” is rare. You need active idea generation. Second, you don’t need a world-changing idea. A simple twist on an existing model can work. Third, forget the perfect plan. You’ll be wrong, and that’s okay.
No it seems the ideal scenario for cost controlling absurdly over priced medical care.

I love Obsidian. As I have 15-20k notes, Sync with iCloud is a pain. So I started using Obsidian sync. I pay gladly. Also for supporting the team. Yet even with that solution Obsidian takes up to 7 seconds to open on my iPhone. That’s way to slow. So when I try to lookup something or jot down something the startup time reduces my creative juices.

So I subscribed to Drafts to quickly create notes in Obsidian. As I switched to Obsidian sync, the file created by Drafts app in iCloud won’t be visible in Obsidian immediately as it needs to sync to the server and back.

After all these hiccups I started using Notion again. Yes, I have all my notes from past 20+ years in Obsidian, but I do my project work and quick journaling in Notion now. It immediately opens. I can also use databases. And I am in the process of creating a Python script that auto exports my Notion notes to my Obsidian vault.

Notion is really excellent for managing projects, and quickly looking up infos on the go. Perfect companion.

Edit: Corrected startup time of Obsidian with native sync.
I'd extend that to nearly everything in one's life beyond the absolutely necessities like food and water.

Candy, entertainment, police, governments, even shelter. They're all great things as long as you want them but don't need them.
Unfortunately none of these news articles or papers discuss whether consuming ~2--3g of xylitol/day in the form of gum (e.g., Pur) is OK. I'm guessing it's fine, given that the warning is for products that are artificially sweetned with xylitol with a lot more xylitol, and they say that toothpaste/mouthwash with xylitol should be OK.
You can sync Obsidian with whatever solution you want to. It’s just flat text files on your filesystem. I store my notes in OneCloud and it syncs fine. Heck, there is even a free plugin to sync your notes using Git.

The subscription is a convenience but in no way required.
This has since been edited in OP, and the full quote I think supports my claim more:

> Note this is different to what TechCrunch had revealed in 2019 in which Facebook were paying teenagers to gather data on usage habits. That resulted in the Onavo app being pulled from the app stores and fines. With the new MITM information revealed: what is currently unclear is if all app users had their traffic "intercepted" or just a subset of users.
I recently switched from a daily journal/to-do list to a weekly one.

I have been surprised just how much it has helped me to keep things moving that otherwise might have been neglected.

My platform of choice is Emacs, org-mode, and org-journal, but I imagine the workflow is similar to Obsidian.

Each day is a top level heading, its to-do and journal items are 2nd level headings. Journal entries are timestamped, to-do items have a state of TODO/PROG/DONE and a timestamped log is kept logging state transitions.

Unfinished to-do items move to the new day automatically when it is created. Completed items are left in previous days, and displayed in a fainter coloured text.

FSD is revolutionary. There isn’t anything as good on the market yet. Other than that I agree, their competitors have caught up.
Oh the wording was ambiguous. Sounded like that was what you paid. $5 is more reasonable!
> the fact that the cases were ordered. Less severe cases were seen first, which meant the more severe cases (ie those with more severe penalties) were shown later.

Isn't that order creating a bias for the judge? Should the cases be randomized instead?
What is more misleading is that the article shows the trending is going downwards, more people than ever is trading their Teslas for other EVs. The only relevant conclusion seems to be the one in the article: as the offering of EVs from other brands increase, more people opting out of Tesla can stay in the EV market.
More important is the note reading flow. You write millions of words and for what?
That is a statistic on one chart on that. For only those who are 65 and up, total spending of the top 1% drops to 17%. In the charts posted, from the ages of 19 to 44, the amount spent on women is much larger than on men (not sure why - obstetricians?)

Then of course, some people get cancer and some do not. With a normal age distribution of 18 year olds and up, it isn't surprising to me that very little is spent on the 18 to 30 year old men, and that one of the 65 and over got cancer and a lot of spending went toward that.
I think you'd want notes to last a long time, I personally am skeptical to Notion for this reason.

But I also found obsidian to be a bit brittle (especially if you don't pay for sync).

I've just reverted back to a note book for my journal and then files in ~/notes that I grep.
Sure, but are they marked up to "return on investment" prices, or "make all of the executives so enormously wealthy that it's actually disgusting" prices?

> When a government extends debt to itself it literally means nothing

I get where you are coming from. If I'm not mistaken, and according to MMT, a government buying its own debt induces future inflation and a decrease to interest rates.

All money nowadays is fiat (i.e. created out of thin air by a few actors), so it's not like any form of money creation and destruction means much more than changes to the inflation rate, interest rate and the derived swings to the economic cycle.
> The US sees itself as a "force of good" through its influence on the world with its military

It markets itself this way both to the world (largely unconvincingly) and to its populace (largely convincingly), in order to mask the military industrial complex that funnels tax dollars and new debt dollars to a handful of corporations and their shareholders.

Isn't this just insurance?

Medicare takes care of the very very expensive end of life care.

but like, we all chip in, Some of us get very sick or hurt and there's no way to know up front who it might be. So, we all pay a little and that 1% is taken care of. Because that 1% might be me.

This is how it works. We could save money by sacrificing that 1%, but that's a pretty nauseating idea.

Not just monetization, these types of games also pivot towards building parasocial relationships with in-game characters to you. This leads to people building zero tolerance for what can be perceived as other characters interacting to them - an issue that affected Girls Frontline 2.

Indecision is the problem. If they lack confidence in the craft, organize a rescue. Bring the boeing craft back on autopilot, which if not possible now could be arranged give time. The net result would be to demonstrate innovation and flexibility in space. Not a great day for boeing but a huge PR day for Nasa and SpaceX. It would be a mini Apollo 13 moment, absent the risk. With the ISS's time limited, Nasa needs to portray confidence and an ability to lead. This indecision comes off as weak.
That is a bit tricky at least in the US, I'm not sure how it's done elsewhere. The FDA has a habit of defaulting of assuming foods and additives are safe unless proven dangerous. They also frequently default to safety recommendations from manufacturers.

It's very possible that xylitol in toothpaste or mouthwash is considered safe because no one has identified those levels as dangerous. That isn't necessarily an indicator that we know it's safe, just that we haven't looked.
Yep, that's exactly it, and the only conclusion you can draw from this misleading article. I've flagged it, I recommend everyone do the same.

This isn’t bad news, as the second paragraph states, “Back in 2019, a whopping 71% of Teslas were traded in for gas cars, while 18% were traded in for hybrids. Only 10% were traded for another EV.”

Clearly the trend is on the rise for BEV. As a minor story, I was riding back from the airport in a Lyft, a Kia Nero, 220 mile range. I asked the driver about it, the thing that sounded the most surprising was the hour to charge to 80%. This is the big issue the US needs to solve. There is ubiquitous petroleum based gas stations, but quality charging stations are not anywhere near as obvious. That needs to change to improve perception of owning a BEV.
To search through and get the information when you need later, or to start with rough headings and start filling it in over the project. Works well imo.

I’m curious what you have against tricycles or tricyclists.

(I was a tricyclist for just shy of ten years, but just gave it up this month as part of moving to India to marry, loving a particular woman considerably more than my Greenspeed GT3. And I’m rather surprised to encounter tricycles grouped along with murders, fatal traffic accidents and tax fraud, because in cumulatively several months of solo cycle touring in AU, US, CA and NZ, I think I encountered a negative reaction expressed about six times, whereas positive or curious reactions happen multiple times per day.)

They have totally different goals.

Music theory is descriptive, not prescriptive. Oodles of people make music without knowing a lick of it, and people who learn it in academic environments still typically make music starting from other concepts. "Listen to records and vibe with what they are doing" is typically a much more effective way of learning to improvise seriously than "learn the theory rules", for example.

"Music Theory" also typically is very tightly bound to harmonic analysis modes that are focused on about two centuries of western european music. This is necessarily going to limit its effectiveness when applied in other spaces (even here, when applied to jazz).
